Bacterial physiology is the study of the structures and functions that allow bacteria to survive. This includes everything from the composition of bacterial cell walls to the enzymes they can produce to perform various internal and external functions. Researchers in this field can work in lab environments, researching known organisms as well as learning more about new bacteria. Pharmaceutical companies, environmental agencies, and numerous other organizations have use for bacterial physiologists.
Bacteria are extremely diverse, and part of the work of bacterial physiology involves the development of meaningful categories to divide them into for classification and research purposes. For example, researchers may split organisms into Gram positive and negative bacteria by how they react to a Gram stain. Likewise, they can be divided into anaerobic bacteria that don't need oxygen to survive, aerobic bacteria, and organisms that can switch back and forth and don't need an exclusively oxygenated or deoxygenated environment. Bacteria may also exhibit varying degrees of motility and other characteristics that can help researchers identify them.
Researchers in bacterial physiology look at bacterial genetics and how bacteria respond to evolutionary pressures. They sequence and study the enzymes produced by bacteria. This includes structures necessary for cellular functions like division as well as bacterial enzymes that may be released into the surrounding environment. Some of these are toxic and can play a role in bacterial infections and contamination. Some focus specifically on infectious disease and the interactions between bacteria and other organisms.
Other researchers may explore topics like symbiosis, where bacteria live together or with other organisms for mutual benefits. Some lichens, for example, have bacteria as symbiotic partners to supply energy to the organism so it can grow and reproduce. Other bacteria may live parasitically on other organisms and can rely on them for nutritional support. Some of these parasites provide benefits in return, like the organisms in the digestive tract that assist with digestion, while others may turn on their hosts and cause disease.
Students with an interest in bacterial physiology will need to take biology courses and pursue training in bacteria specifically. Many people in this field have advanced degrees and research credits. Employment prospects are quite variable. The location where a scientist wants to work can make a difference, as can the area of specialty. Researchers who work on topics like using bacteria to make pharmaceuticals may make more than people doing basic research in bacterial physiology, for instance.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

About child labour
Worldwide there are 68 million children, they work and don't go to school.This children work in agriculture, industry and services. The most children work in the agriculture: 59%, the others work in the services: 32%, and in the industry: 7,2%. Over the world, 1 out of the 10 children between 5 and 17 years old, are working. In the poorest countries, 1 out of the 5 children between 5 and 17 years old, are working. The most children work because they don't have to go to school.
Child labour in the Netherlands and Belgium
In the industrial revolution Child labour was, also in the Netherlands normal. Children worked on the countryside of their parents, or the children worked in factories. For the first time, in 1841 there was research on child labour. For a long time there didn't happen anything with the results of this research. In 1874 there was a minister, Samuel van Houten, who thought that there should be a law against child labour, thanks to that law, a child younger than 12 working, became illegal.In fact, this law didn't change much. Compulsory schooling made in a lot of countries a end to child labour. The Netherlands got compulsory schooling in 1901. Nowadays you can work legally when you are 13 years old. In 2017 there are 10 000 children of 12 years old who work a minimum of 12 hours a week and there are 9000 children who work 20 hours a week. Nowadays children under the age of 16 shouldn´t have to do heavy physical work because children have to go to school till they are 16 years old.
Of course there is an exception: children between 13 and 14 years old can work a maximum of 2 hours on a school day and 12 hours in a week, but they have to do chores around the house like baby sitting. If you are 15 years old you can bring around the morning newspaper.
Child labour in Africa
In Africa is a lot of child labour 41% of the children between 5 and 14 years old work. They work by family and in factories. The africans don't see work by the family the same as working in a factory. Most children work because:
- They must to earn money for family
- There is a lot of poverty
- The population is growing quickly
- They live in bad conditions
- There is a bad education system
- There are many orphans
Most children work in the West-African mines, those children earn 1 Euro in a day, they work 12 hours a day. They make 0,083 cents an hour, this is not enough to buy food for the family. This is the reason why more than one children in a family work. A lot of African children is a streetchild, they live on the street. They beg and don't have enough money, they don't go to school and are often addicted to drugs.
Child labour in Asia
In Asia the child labour industry grows due to big department stores. In Europe this department stores are really famous. H&M and Nike are some really famous department stores. In Asia 41 million children are working, they work in factories and on the streets. A lot of children are working in the prostitution. In the Asian culture it is customary when children work. They do this because they have to pay the debts of the family. The children work for the family but the family doesn't have enough money to buy food for the children.
Child labour in South-America
South-American poverty is growing quickly. There are 25 million poor children in South-America. 7 million of those people are living on the streets. There are some adults who are using their children, they have to do criminal things. Some families are really desperate and send their daughters into the prostitution in exchange for food. 44 out of the 1000 children in South-America die every year. The law in South-America says that children under the age of 14 are not allowed to work. There are exceptions for children who have school because children who follow lessons on a school can work thanks to a permission of the government.
Child labour in Europe
In four European nations there is still child labour. Those countries are Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain. The children in these countries work in factories and work as a prostitute. They don't have a lot of money because all the money they earn go to the bosses. There are also a lot of children who beg for money. They don't earn enough money with begging, so they are going to work as a prostitute. Most children on the streets are addicted to drugs.
Organizations against child labour
Unicef is in the UN, an organization with almost all the countries. Their main goals is bringing peace to the world. Those initials stand for: United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. Unicef helps children in 158 countries with bad environment. Unicef was founded in 1946 after world war II. So Unicef exist 73 years.
Save the children
Save the children is the biggest independent organization. Save the children is committed to children and youngsters in difficult living conditions. Save the children was founded in 1919. The main goal was: Taking care of the war children from World War I. Save the children wants a few things:
- Each child must be respected and valued
- That everyone listens to children
- That all children can learn
- That children will have hope and a future
Save the children makes the people aware of the children labour in poor countries. Save the children wants that every child has a playing court and is save. To do this, they have made 4 houses for children and youngsters.
Consequenses of child labour
Mental effects
- The children don't go to school, this is the reason why they are not smart enough to get a well-payed job.
- The children don't spend much time with their parents, this is the reason why they are mentally disordered.
Physical effects
- Because the children have to work 12 hours a day, they are very tired.
- Their eyesight becomes worse because they have to work in dark rooms.

Introducing Female Cricket: Where Women Play on the Front Foot
Indians are raised on cricket. It is said every Indian has at least once dreamt of walking down the pitch, like the Master Blaster himself. That is true for all Indians born and raised in the '90s, except for the half of the population. Girls raised in our times were not expected, encouraged or nurtured for sports. I should know – I attended a girls' school for twelve years where the idea of physical ed was limited to doing stretches for a couple of hours a week. Things have changed significantly since. My daughter's school mandates a sport for every student – male or female. Today, the children sometimes dream of walking down the pitch, padded and ready to conquer, like Mithali Raj or Anjum Chopra. With the rising tide, there is a need for community support and social media awareness to get more and more girls to pick up their bats and racquets. Well, on that note, we are so glad to introduce Female Cricket!
Introducing Female Cricket
Female Cricket was initiated with an objective of building a platform which would discuss, spread, share and celebrate the journey of female cricketers around the world. The first and the only platform dedicated to women cricketers, Female Cricket aims to raise the profile of female cricketers by sharing their stories, acknowledging their hard-work, and inspiring more girls to take up cricket. They aim to inspire young female talents through their platform by helping them with the required information, resources, and skills.
Founded by Vishal Yadav in February 2016, Female Cricket has achieved several milestones and, in the process, has inspired many young talents to nurture and pursue their cricketing dreams. They take pride in their ever-growing community of over 100,000 female cricket enthusiasts, who are connected through both online and offline media.
Mumbai based Female Cricket is a cricket-centric platform that strives to promote women cricket in and around the world. In this endeavor, Female Cricket has connected with communities from Germany, France, America, Australia, Argentina, and Canada and has shared their cricket story on their website. Known to be one of the leading platforms in the sports industry, Female Cricket with their standout content for their readers has been able to signify its presence in all social media platforms within a short span of time.
"We started with just one objective of building a platform which would raise the profile of our women cricketers. The problem was that this sector of cricket was always left behind, neither discussed nor celebrated. However, female cricketers were putting in equal efforts, had inspiring stories to share and deserved equal love and appreciation as their male counterparts. Within just 2 months of starting Female Cricket, we realized it's true potential and that there was a strong need for such platform. Our community started responding to this initiative, which further boosted our belief in the idea. We have a small team of writers/contributors today who share the passion equally. We also distributed cricket equipment to under-privileged kids across Mumbai. To this point, we are a self-funded business, and we would love to associate/partner with entities who share a similar passion for female cricket as we do," speaks an enthusiastic Vishal Yadav (Founder, Female Cricket).
The Female Cricket Academy
An initiative by Female Cricket, Female Cricket Academy is an exclusive coaching academy for girls in India.
Female Cricket Academy was initiated with an objective of building a platform for young girls to showcase their talents, nurture their cricket dreams and make progress in their professional cricket career.
With its first center in Mumbai, the academy was inaugurated on 2nd November 2017 and plans to expand in other cities very soon. The academy started with 10 young girls and now trains around 45+ girls between the age range 8 to 25 in 2 batches i.e morning and evening. Attached are some pictures for your reference.
Female Cricket initiated an online campaign to highlight the importance of having a Women's IPL. Capitalizing on the power of digital media, the idea was to reach out to as many as female cricket fans possible and seek their views on Women's IPL. The campaign ran across Female Cricket's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter page and saw a humongous response. As expected, the campaign drew attention from boys and girls, young and old and the majority of them showed their consent to the idea. To give you some figures, their twitter page garnered 5000+ Impressions, Instagram page registered 3600+ likes and Facebook page clocked 11,000+ organic reach (60+ Shares) in just a day. The campaign was a hit and was appreciated by fans around the country.
It wasn't over yet. Folks at Female Cricket decided to further their support and excitement towards this campaign. A banner was prepared and the idea was to take it to the Mumbai's Wankhede stadium on 12th April 2017. The banner had this message written –
Dear IPL, congratulations on your 10th Anniversary. Can we now have our Women's version of IPL? India demands #WomensIPL."
Right in the middle of the Wankhede stadium, as the match between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad progressed, a bunch of female cricket fans held this banner tight, with pride in their heart, carrying a message from thousand supporters, as they displayed their excitement for Women's IPL.
Female Cricket has done their part and now it's time for us to stand for Women's IPL, show our support, promote women's cricket and encourage more and more girls to play cricket.

In order to join OKCupid you will need eitehr an email address or a facebook account. Joining by facebook is probably the easiest way but creasting an OKCupid profile using your email address is jsut as easy.
To get started on OKCupid, navigate to the homepage and click the join OKC now button.
After you click the Join OKCupid button, a new screen will appear where you can choose to register for OKC using your Facebook account of email. If you choose to join using Facebook, you will need to be signed in to your Facebook account.
OKCupid will connect to Facebook and perform whatever internet magic they need to grab some of your info to create your profile.
To register for the dating site using your email, type in your email address and click next.
Now you need to set up a password.
Make your password safe and secure, but also something you will remember. Your password needs to be at least 6 characters long.
After you decide on a password, you will start the process of letting the OKCupid online dating community know a bit about yourself.
The first question is your first name. Having a first name in a dating profile can allow users to sorta know you, without really knowing you.
After you fill out your name, OKC will ask if you are a man or a woman.
Next, fill out your real date of birth. This will help OKCupid find someone that is compatible for you.
Once you have completed the following steps, you will be asked to enter the country and postal code you live in. This helps to match you with local singles in your area.
Now it is time to let OKCupid know who you are looking for!
Who Are You Looking To Meet On OKCupid
This is where the fun begins. Imagine the perfect person designed specifically for you. As you register your account be sure to fill out as much information about your ideal partner that you can.
The first thing OKC will ask you in reference to who you are looking for is the type of dating situation you seek. This can be anything from friends, hookup, long term or short term dating.
You can select multiple answers in this section.
Select the dating situation you desire and click next.
The nest section is they type of gender you are willing to connect with, men or women. You can click one or both if you desire.
After you choose the gender you are interested in meeting on OKC, you need to select an age range.
Now that you have selected the age range of people on OKCupid you want to connect with, it is time to upload photos.
Great Tip For Adding Dating Profile Photos
When adding photos to a dating site, try showing a variation. Have some close up face photos that are clear and accurate. Skip the Instagram filters or other photo enhancement tools. Be the real you.
Also add some photos that show your body type. Also try to avoid photos that do not really show you. For example a picture of you wearing a motorcycle helmet may not work well unless you are trying to court Darth Vader.
Now that you have uploaded the perfect photos to attract a potential mate, you need to tell OKCupid a bit about yourself so they can help you find a match.
This covers the typical "About Me" to some special top secret match making questions OKCupid will present to perform behind the scene matchmaking.
Be as accurate and honest as you can during this process.
Some of these questions might seem a bit silly at first, but rest assured, OKCupid has a method to their madness (we think?).

Prince of Wales Pier (out-of-shot to the left) close to the Georgian Waterloo Crescent, the popular Sue's Seafood Stall, the non-tidal Wellington Dock (with its tubular swan-necked Fairbairn Crane), the King Charles II Commemorative Walk - and not forgetting the pebble-strewn beach, of course!
A building on the other side of the Clock Tower contains showers, wash-rooms, and a launderette for the use of people with yachts and boats berthed in Dover Marina.
Part of a tug belonging to Dover Harbour Board, the DHB Dauntless, can be seen near the bottom right-hand corner on higher magnifications. The tug is berthed in the Tug Haven on the far side of the Tidal Harbour (no sign of the sister-tug, DHB Doughty, though).
Beyond the Tug Haven is the large white Lord Warden House, also a listed building. This was once the Lord Warden Hotel where Louis Bleriot had breakfast after the first cross-channel aeroplane flight on Sunday, 25th July, 1909.
The building became the Royal Navy's HMS Wasp shore station durating World War II and is located at the landward end of the Admiralty Pier (where the cruise ships berth).
This post-sunrise photo was taken at 6.33 am on Monday, 22nd of August, 2011, while on a morning cycle ride (1) along the seafront.
The Victorian Clock Tower, built in 1876-1877 to the designs of George Devey (architect, 1820-1886), was renovated in 2010. However, the flagpole flying the Union Jack flag (the Union Flag), and topped by a weather vane, wasn't restored until sometime after April, 2011.
Also in 2010, a news report said that a proposal to move the Clock Tower had been put on hold (2):
PLANS to move the Clock Tower – formerly the lifeboat station – on Dover seafront have been put on hold as a result of the landmark being listed as a monument.
The news was revealed by Mike Krayenbrink, Dover Harbour Board's port development director, when questioned at the Port Consultative Committee by Dover's deputy mayor David Hannent.
Mr Krayenbrink explained that it had been proposed that the Clock Tower be dismantled brick by brick and moved to the stem of a new pier on the seafront where the new marina is to be provided.
However, he added, the Clock Tower had recently been listed and as a result Dover Harbour Board now had to get involved with the authorities, including the district council, in order to obtain authorisation for the original proposal.
No decision had yet been made whether it would be possible to remove the structure, he added.
Dover Harbour Board wants to move the rebuilt Clock Tower because, in its existing position, it is in the way of the proposed second ferry terminal at the Western Docks. If the move does go ahead, then this will be the second time the Clock Tower has been moved.
(Dover Harbour Board website)
An 1893 news report, in describing the proposals for constructing the Prince of Wales Pier and extending the Admiralty Pier, stated (3):
The scheme of the Dover Harbour Board, for the accommodation of commercial shipping east of the Admiralty Pier, is being carried into execution by Messrs. Coode, Son, and Matthews, engineers, successors to the late Sir John Coode, by whom the works were designed. There will be a new pier, starting from an open iron viaduct. 1260 ft. long, forming an agreeable marine promenade, which will be approached from the esplanade near the Granville Clock-tower (Granville Dock). This involves the removal and rebuilding of the clock-tower.
Abridged from the © Crown Copyright listing text appended below under licence:
The building to the right of the Clock Tower is Dover's first Lifeboat Station, or Lifeboat House, which was originally orientated with its doors to the north. Devey had located the Clock Tower to the east of the Lifeboat House and linked the two buildings to the north with an archway. Sometime after construction of the new Prince of Wales Pier began in 1892, the Clock Tower and Lifeboat House, in the way of the new pier approach, were both taken down and re-erected a very short distance away but on a different alignment with one another. The connecting archway was lost at this time.
A Dover Lifeboat webpage states (4):
Dover's lifeboat has had several different homes over the years. The first lifeboat station at Dover was the building under the clock tower at the landward end of the Prince of Wales Pier. When the Station reopened in 1930 it was in the Camber at the Eastern Docks. After the Second World War, the lifeboat moved into one of the Motor torpedo boat (submarine) pens.
In 1984, development works in the Eastern Docks meant that the MTB Pens were earmarked for destruction and so the lifeboat moved to the Tug Haven. 2000 saw the completion of the current boathouse and an official handover took place in August 2001.
The current Dover Lifeboat Station and RNLB 17-09 City of London II lifeboat are located on Crosswall Quay.

685/0/10034 Clock Tower and former Lifeboat House
Clock tower, 1876-7 by George Devey (1820-1886) and former Lifeboat House, 1866 with late 1870s and C20 (20th Century) alterations.
MATERIALS: Rough faced snecked ragstone (rag-stone) with dressed stone details. The Clock Tower has metal-framed casement windows, the Lifeboat House has timber framed casement windows.
PLAN: The Clock Tower has a square plan with four stages and an off-set hexagonal stair tower to the north west corner. The former Lifeboat House has a rectangular plan and is single storey.
EXTERIOR: Each face of the tower bears a circular clock-face beneath a projecting modillion cornice with parapet above. On the roof of the tower is a flag pole with a weather vane. Above the stair tower is a lead-covered hexagonal roof with ball finial, supported on shaped columns. Two doors to the first stage give access to the base of the stair tower and an electricity sub-station in the base of the main tower. The principal entrance to the building is on the second stage, accessed via a flight of stone steps with solid stone balusters. The door surround is of dressed stone with a four-centred head and stop-moulded jambs. Fenestration is irregular and sparse, generally comprising small rectangular openings surrounded by dressed stone. On the second stage of the east elevation is a canted oriel window with mullioned lights.
The former Lifeboat House is set at an angle to the north west of the Clocktower. The roof is pitched with gable end parapets to the east and west, a parapet to the north and eaves to the south. There is a central pitch-roofed half dormer to the north with a central louvred oculus and a pair of casement windows beneath, these are flanked by two casement windows. To the west the lifeboat doors have been replaced with a simple timber shop-front comprising a half-glazed door to the left and a shop window to the right. A continuous hoodmould runs around the timber lintel over the shop-front and continues along the length of the north elevation. Above the shop-front is a stone mullioned window with three six-light casements with an infilled oculus above the central casement. A hoodmould runs over the window. The west gable is topped with a ball finial.
INTERIOR: The Clock Tower contains a stone spiral staircase. The clock mechanism is contained in the fourth stage.
The Lifeboat House has a modern commercial interior that is not of special interest.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: The buildings are linked by a short section of decorative cast iron railing.
HISTORY: The Lifeboat House was built in 1866 by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), which had taken over the lifeboat service from the Dover Humane and Shipwreck Institution in 1855. The building was modified in the late 1870s to accomodate a bigger lifeboat.
The Clock Tower was built in 1876-7 to the designs of George Devey (1820-1886). The work was commissioned by the Dover Harbour Board, and following the completion of the Clock Tower, Devey was further commissioned to design a marine bathing establishment and to lay-out some adjacent building land. The building work was undertaken by a local builder, W.J. Adcock. The Clock Tower is all that remains of Devey's work, the rest being destroyed by shelling in World War II.
The Lifeboat House was originally orientated with its doors to the north, and Devey located the Clock Tower to the east of the Lifeboat House and linked the two buildings to the north with an archway. Devey created both a stylistic as well as physical link between the two buildings, giving the appearance of a complex, rather than two isolated structures. In 1892, construction started on the new Prince of Wales Pier so the Clock Tower and Lifeboat House, in the way of the new pier approach, were both carefully taken down and re-erected a very short distance away, but on a different alignment with one another. The connecting archway was lost at this time.
George Devey was born in London in 1820. During the latter part of his formal education, between 1832 and 1835, he attended King's College School (KCS), London, where he was taught drawing by John Sell Cotman. A skilled draughtsman, he was articled to, and later employed by, architect Thomas Little in Northumberland Street, London, who appreciated his talent for drawing. It was not until 1846 that Devey set up an architectural practice by himself. As well as designing new houses, much of Devey's work was remodelling older houses and designing estate buildings. It was through these more modest buildings that he revealed most clearly his understanding of, and sympathy for, vernacular building.
Devey is now recognised as a pioneer of the interest in English vernacular architecture in the late C19. He enjoyed the patronage of a number of Liberal politicians, and it was Devey's friendship with Lord Granville (Granville Leveson-Gower, 2nd Earl Granville), Liberal statesman and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, that brought him the commission for the Clock Tower at Dover Harbour.

The purpose of this project was to determine the effectiveness of the Demonstration Classroom professional development opportunity in meeting its stated goals:
- To increase teacher efficacy
- To share best practice instruction
- To increase collaborative culture
- To positively impact student performance
- To ensure that professional learning is applied and consistently implemented
- To give support to teachers in implementing new initiatives in the district.
The Demonstration Classroom experience allows teachers to observe others in practice and includes an application piece for observers to demonstrate their understanding of the new learning. To capture the perceptions of teachers involved in the Demonstration Classroom process, a survey was administered to 51 teachers who had participated in Demonstration Classrooms during the 2012 – 2013 and 2013 – 2014 school years. Two focus group interviews, involving nine teachers, were conducted to gain additional insights from the survey results. Additionally, a Demonstration Classroom host teacher contributed her thoughts in a reflective journal on the process of developing and delivering a demonstration lesson. Results of the study indicate that the Demonstration Classroom experience was overwhelmingly satisfying to all who have participated, and the program was determined to be effective in meeting its goals.

Post-traumatic suffering is the untold story of abortion. Although the very real and frighteningly devastating phenomenon of post-abortion syndrome has been reported by those who suffer, until very recently nearly all medical and psychological health care professionals, and the academic groups that represent them, have ignored the human suffering associated with the practice of abortion. There are literally millions of women and men who, alone and abandoned, suffer some of the most serious psychological and spiritual consequences of abortion. If you are one of these many, we understand and are here to help.

Post-Abortion Retreats
Many don't realize that post-traumatic stress is the untold story of abortion. There are literally millions of women and men who, too often silently and alone, suffer some of the most serious psychological and spiritual consequences of contemporary society's disregard for the sanctity of human life and the sacredness of human sexuality. If you suffer, you are not alone. The Sisters of Life and Lumina provide retreats led by those who have both suffered abortion and experienced the joy of healing.

North Texas marching bands strut their stuff at Mansfield contest
It's marching season across Texas, and Class 5A schools strutted their best stuff at a regional contest Tuesday at Mansfield's Vernon Newsom Stadium.
Schools in the University Intercholastic League's Region 5-5A contest included Fort Worth's Carter-Riverside, Dunbar, South Hills, Eastern Hills, North Side, Wyatt, Poly, Diamond-Hill, Paschal, Arlington Heights, Southwest, Western Hills and Trimble Tech; Mansfield's Summit, Lake Ridge, Legacy and Mansfield High; and Arlington's Lamar, Martin, Seguin, Sam Houston and Arlington High.
Class 5A schools do not compete for state titles this year because the UIL rotates classifications annually.
This year, marching bands from 4A and 6A high schools will compete in regional and area contests with the hope of making it to state, which is Nov. 7-9 at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
Area contests for North Texas bands are scheduled for Oct. 31 at Pennington Field in Bedford and Collins Stadium in Denton.

Asics an japanese trainer and sportswear manufacturer company has bought the running app 'Runkeeper, making it the latest in a string of fitness app purchases by sporting-goods manufacturers. The app, which has over 33 million users worldwide, is available for the Android, iPhone and with smartwatch apps links to other fitness tracking apps and platforms. Runkeeper was set up in 2008 and quickly became one of the most successful running tracking apps, using a smartphone's to trace routes, times and distance with GPS. It has became one of the only running apps to support GPS tracking independently of a smartphone on compatible Android Wear smartwatches.
Founder and chief executive of Runkeeper App (Jason Jacobs) said that it is clear that the fitness brands of the future will not just make physical products but will be embedded in the consumer journey in ways that will help keep people motivated and maximise their enjoyment of sport. Jacobs said that the app would continue to exist in its current form and be improved at an increased pace with Asics providing "many resources to bear that we couldn't fathom having access to on our own". Jacobs also said that data from Runkeeper users who use its shoe tracking feature shows that tAsics trainers are its most run-in shoes.
Runkeeper boston based was one of the last remaining popular independent fitness tracking apps with millions of users US fitness app MyFitnessPal was bought by sporting apparel manufacturer for an amount for $475m in February last year which also acquired MapMyFitness in 2013. And another German fitness app company Runtastic was bought by Adidas for $239m in August last year.But sports brands with digital fitness integration is not a new idea. Nike was one of the big brands pioneering the field with its various partnerships with Apple under the Nike+ brand, which morphed into the Nike+ Fuelband wristband fitness tracker in 2012 before being discontinued in 2014.
Nike Running apps was continued by nike to make for smartwatches and smartphones including being a launch partner with Apple's smartwatch. For sporting goods manufacturers having a digital ecosystem is likely to aid customer loyalty as changing your running tracking app with all its data and previous logs of your activity is more involved than simply slipping on a new pair of trainers.

These days, I'm already used on wearing skinny jeans all the time for it's the only style that will perfectly suit my body. There are times that my friends will tell me that I look too skinny on my skinny jeans :( that's why I'm trying to refrain wearing the dark shade but instead look for a faded or light shade of skinny jeans that can make me look a little bit fat because of the color.
There's a new trend of skinny jeans that I've been seeing lately and that is the polka dot printed jeans. If you are tired of wearing plain then this polka dot prints will definitely make your attire more fashionable and attractive. Here are some polka dot printed jeans that I saw on some shops.

While specialty pieces of equipment may be essential for your application, the essential pieces of equipment are the same for nearly any electronics lab. Multimeter A multimeter's measurement flexibility combined with their precision and accuracy make multimeters an essential tool in any electronics lab. Multimeters will typically be able to measure both AC and DC voltage and current as well as resistance. Multimeters are often used in troubleshooting designs and testing prototype circuits. Multimeter accessories include transistor testing modules, temperature sensor probes, high voltage probes, and probe kits. Multimeters are available for as little as $10 and can run several thousand for a high accuracy, high precision benchtop unit. LCR Meter As versatile as multimeters are, they cannot measure capacitance or inductance which is where the LCR meter (Inductance (L), Capacitance (C), and Resistance (R)) comes into the picture. LCR meters come in two variants, a lower cost version that measures the total impedance of a component and a more expensive type that measures all of the components of the impendence of the component, equivalent series resistance (ESR) and the Quality (Q) factor of the component. The accuracy of low-cost LCR meters is often quite poor, with tolerances as high as 20%. Since many capacitors have a 20% tolerance themselves, compounding the tolerance of the meter and component can cause additional problems in designing and troubleshooting electronics. Oscilloscope Electronics are all about the signals and the oscilloscope is the primary measurement tool to observe the shape of signals. Oscilloscopes, often called oscopes or just scopes, display signals in a graphical format on a pair of axes, generally with Y as the voltage and X as the time. This is a very powerful way to quickly see the shape of a signal, determine what is going on in an electronic circuit and monitor performance or track down problems. Oscilloscopes are available in digital and analog variants, starting at a few hundred dollars and running into the tens of thousands for the top of the line models. Digital scopes have several measurements and trigger options built into the system which make measurements of peak-to-peak voltage, frequency, pulse width, rise time, signal comparisons, and recording waveforms simple tasks. Soldering Iron The core tool for assembling electronics is the soldering iron, a hand tool used to melt solder to form an electrical and physical connection between two surfaces. Soldering irons come in a few forms, with the cheapest being plugged directly into an outlet from the hand tool. While these soldering irons work, for most electronics work a temperature controlled soldering station is much preferred. The tip of a soldering iron is heated by a resistive heater and often monitored by a temperature sensor to keep the temperature of the tip steady. Soldering iron tips are often removable and are available in a range of shapes and styles to accommodate different types of soldering work. Precision Mechanical Tools Every electronics lab needs a few key mechanical hand tools to help with the basic tasks and make more complex tasks much easier. Some of the key tools include shear cutters, wire strippers, ESD-safe tweezers, needle nose pliers, precision screwdriver set, "third hand" tools, and alligator/test clips and leads. Some tools, such as the ESD safe tweezers, are essential for surface mount work while other tools, such as the "third hand" tool are very useful when soldering components to a PCB and the component, PCB, soldering iron and solder all need to be held in place. Optics Electronic components get very very small. Small enough that they can be difficult to hold with even precision tweezers let alone see. Basic lab optics such as magnifying loupes and large articulated magnifying lenses are useful in many cases but do not provide a great deal of magnification, with 5-10x magnification available at the higher end. Loupes and magnifying lenses work well for basic lab needs, but if surface mount assembly and inspection work will be done, then a stereomicroscope is ideal. For surface mount work, a stereomicroscope that provides between 25x and +90x magnification which supports precision soldering of surface mount chips and board level inspection. Stereomicroscopes start at around $500 and are available in fixed or variable zoom, multiple lighting options, and additional optical paths for mounting cameras or for multiple users. Power Supply In the end, it's difficult to test a circuit without applying power to it. Several types of power supplies are available to support electronics design and testing with a number of features. For a general purpose laboratory power supply, variable voltage and current controls are one of the most important features. This allows one supply to provide a wide range of voltages that can be adjusted for any application. Often these power supplies can operate in either a constant voltage or constant current mode, allowing rapid testing of components or portions of a design without building a specific power regulation circuit. Other Equipment The equipment above only scratches the surface of the equipment that is available and might be critical for your application. Some of the other common equipment with more of a focused use includes: Function GeneratorsSignal GeneratorsSpectrum AnalyzersSignal AnalyzersPattern GeneratorProtocol AnalyzerNetwork AnalyzerTransistor Tester Continue Reading

Math Autobiography
My Mathematical Autobiography
My best experience in math class was when I was just in third grade. I had to transfer schools because my parents didn't want me to go to a private school anymore. The first day, at Valentine Hills, we took a multiplication test that we had to complete to see whether we were doing the maximum of our capability. I don't know what my score was, but it must have been really good, because the next day I was placed in accelerated math class. Where I got to know everyone and have a great time.
My worst experience in a math class, however, was the year before. As I said before, I went to a private school. This school didn't really have much of an accelerated program, so I had to drag a desk into the corner with a couple other students and just keep doing math problems over and over again until my hand hurt. I think that learning should be interactive, not just doing problems out of a book.
My most memorable experience in math is less of an individual experience, rather than an overall experience with one Mr. Porath. His class always fascinated me. Every Friday we would take a day out, do word problems, and do science Olympiads. His motive was to make us think outside of the box, not just try to remember the rules of math, but to make us know why it was that way and plenty of other ways to do the same problem. He made a major impact in my math, not forgetting my life too.
My favorite part of mathematics is the fact that it isn't really a subjective subject, you either got it right or wrong. Unlike in English where what we think could contrast to what our teacher thinks and then we don't get the point because its subjective.
My least favorite part of mathematics is the fact that some of the rules seem to just be randomly made up. I know that all math rules are created for a reason, but it is funny how, sometimes, they seem to have come out of nowhere.
My overall feelings of mathematics are definitely positive. I do...

I'm constantly feeling fear…
I've never been this scared, at least not consciously. Fear does weird things to people, it brings up all kinds of hell-bent emotions and knee-jerk reactions. One current example from my life: I'm starting a new business and in doing so leaving behind an identity I spent years creating. I'm leaving behind financial security, people I care about, work I've loved, and a music community that I've been an integral part of for the past ten years.
That shit is scary. It can make me worry about what will happen if I don't have enough money. What's the next best way I can make money and who can I go out and get it from? Or what if nobody cares about what I'm doing and I'm a total failure and they think what I'm doing is boring and then all leave me and then I'm all alone for the rest of my life with just myself except for maybe my cats?
My fear is also my guiding light. I know that the more I push, meander, and sprint my way through its muddy, foggy resistance the more my heart will be filled, to the point that it's bursting wide open with joy. This is what I keep my eyes fixed on. And lest you think I see this joy as something separate from myself, something to be attained, I'll tell you that I feel it in the deepest parts of me, it's part of me. It's waiting patiently, lovingly, for me to unpack all those layers that have been muffling it for so long. And as the layers come off it it stretches and yawns and breathes deep, tremorous breaths.
And plus, fear has got its own set of fears! What threatens it are the most honest and authentic parts of myself, my gifts. I've got gifts that I can express like nobody else is able to. I'd like to share a few of them with you.
Gift #1– I love and appreciate those around me as openly and honestly as I can manage. I say "I love you". I let them know how well they support me. I let them know how their gifts encourage mine. I speak these truths to the point that I feel embarrassed and ashamed and nervous. But you know what? If the way I feel afterward is any indication of how THEY feel then I just made their day, week, or month. With just a few words I have the power to validate a part of them that may have been yearning to be seen and acknowledged for years, perhaps even a lifetime.
Gift #2– I look to support others before finding out how they can support me. I have everything I need. I am loved and taken care of. I will always have enough food and a place to sleep and people who care about me. I know deep down that this is true and from here springs a mindset of abundance: What do I have to offer that will benefit you? How can I help you feel more heard, more loved? I have enough to share, and I would love to share it with you.
Gift #3– I'm deeply committed to (my own and others') honest growth. This means that I don't bend to my fear of feeling. This means that I will not run away when things get tough (at least not for too long). This means that the people in my life can trust me, deeply. It's not that I won't make mistakes, but it does mean I will come clean and do everything in my power to make things right. It means that I won't settle for anything less than the very best that life has to offer, even if (especially when) our fear wants to trick us into believing we don't deserve it.
Fear's always going to be with me and I'm not in the business of pushing it away. I'm making friends with it. Pressing close and learning the feel of its body against mine, the sound of its voice whispering in my ear, and the smell of its presence. Me and fear, we're getting familiar with each other and some days you might even just see us walking down the street together, hand in hand and looking each other in the eyes, laughing about that time when we ALMOST didn't and really thought we couldn't and had it in our heads that we probably shouldn't but went ahead and did anyways.
I want to hear about three of your most honest and authentic gifts, ones that truly define you as a human, friend, lover, and son/daughter. Actually, I NEED to hear. From you and everyone else. The more we share this stuff the more complete we (all) become, and the most beautiful part is that we get to do it together. Take a few moments and share in the comments below.

When I read Ranma ½ during my first year of high school, I fell in love with Rumiko Takahashi's signature expressive art. I loved her colorful cast just as much, always getting caught up in over-the-top situations. Like many people, I remember it fondly. Yet the older I get, the harder it is to ignore some of the most problematic aspects of the series, especially how it deals with femininity.

Quote of the Day: Hekiganroku
Words soon fail –as they should! –as they've always done! –perhaps poetry and "poametry" are systems of compensation for this system of failure where words fall short of a more intuitive understanding! –happened to me in the Quality 16 Cinema, on Jackson Road in Ann Arbor, Michigan –when "limited fork" was conceived and born; I left the movie understanding something that I couldn't completely express, and since then, I've spent so much time trying to express "limited fork theory" in ways that spread a truth that I experienced and felt immediately….–on every scale that I occupied, in every location that I ever occupied; all systems of times and dimensions merged…. My struggle has become expression of what I understood…. Want this to remain a struggle…
"The sound of the rain drops
is heard in the empty hall."
~ Hekiganroku

One of the ways that Zen Buddhism differs from other schools of Buddhism is in its concept and cultivation of direct enlightenment – moments of instant realization of truths in ways that cannot be explained in words.
Over my years of study, I've compiled a rather large collection of inspiring quotes: a selection of them sit aside in a purple box for days like today when I'm not quite sure what to write about. Days like this, I like to sit and read through each of them, one-by-one, until I find one that inspires me to write.
While I've come across this quote many times before, it didn't mean all that much to me; but I could tell there was a deeper meaning that I just wasn't seeing yet, so I have…

can I ask what palette Alison is holding in the picture?
This week on our Beauty Insider show, we've got a selection of hi-tech skincare devices, great gifting ideas, and a gorgeous collection from Caudalie.
Today's Special Value from Beauty Bioscience
The GloPro from Beauty Bioscience is a home device that mimics the needling achieved in the very popular salon treatment, which is used because it's more invasive than topical application products, and therefore may have a more stimulating effect. When you use it, you'll definitely see and feel an immediate result, and if you want a glowier, plumped-up, revitalised look to your skin, this is definitely for you.
It must be used on perfectly clean skin, as you don't want the device to get clogged up. Clean the device after each use, and I wouldn't recommend this for high-coloured, blemish-prone or sensitive complexions. Normal-combination-dry skin wanting a fresher bloom to re-energise their look will love this.
A hi-tech hero
Another at-home device that I've really been enjoying recently, is the Tria Age Defying Skin Laser. This uses extremely advanced technology that comes from the dermatological and medical side of the beauty industry, and uses fractionated lasers to help revitalise the look of your skin.
When I first tested this a couple of years ago, I had lots of people asking me what treatments I'd 'had done', because of the effects. Due to the fact that it penetrates deeper than a cream, it has the ability to (with continued use) completely change the look of skin. However, results are gradual, and you need to commit to using this.
Specifically, it works on helping to improve your complexion above and beyond the ability of your normal creams and treatments, and helps with lines, wrinkles and discolouration. This is a great device for anyone looking for more results, who's already on a top quality skincare regime.
Love bold brows? Try this…
Just for today, we've got a great offer on the Bardou Brow Booster, which comes in four great shades. This free-from brow formula acts like a semi-permanent tint, with fibres that cling to your brows and last for many days. My top tip is to avoid cleansing and exfoliating directly over the brow, if you want it to last longer. It's great to apply after your at-home facial on clean dry brows, after you've done your weekly facial. This helps you achieve 24-hour brows, and you can apply this as often as needed.
If you want to see our full range of brow products, click here.
Caudalie skincare treats
This four-piece skincare collection from Caudalie is great for helping to recover the look of your skin from visible signs of sun damage like darker marks and discolouration, as in the winter months with less intensity from the sun, it's the perfect time to work to correct summer damage.
If you want to perfect your skin now before spring, this collection is fabulous for helping you along the way. This also contains the Beauty Elixir, renowned for being a great make-up artist secret, as it preps skin, seals make-up, refreshes tired complexions and can also help to temporarily firm the look of your skin. A must-have for your handbag or desk drawer!
Christmas gifting ideas
Although Christmas is still a while away, it's the perfect time to start checking names off your list and purchasing gifts for the beauty lovers in your life.
Here are just a few affordable treats to discover, and they're all under £10!
I also love our Molton Brown baubles, the gorgeous Nails Inc I Believe in Unicorns collection, and this stunning set from Bobbi Brown, featuring a Shimmer Brick, Cream Shadow Stick, Gel Eyeliner and a shimmering lipgloss.
Remember to check out QVC's Facebook page and my Facebook page, and you can also send me your questions, queries and blog post suggestions on Instagram and Twitter! Let me know in the comments if you've discovered The Beauty Stash too.
There's plenty more beauty goodness to be found at 8pm this evening, so make sure you tune into QVC Live to enjoy a show jam-packed with the best products, experts and brands.

This Michelin-starred D.C. power lunch hot spot is opening an outpost in Coral Gables
Fancy Michelin-starred Washington, D.C. Italian restaurant Fiola, owned by husband and wife restaurateurs Fabio and Maria Trabocchi, is opening in the fall in Coral Gables at the 1515 Sunset Building.
In addition to Fiola, the Trabocchis also own acclaimed D.C. restaurants Sfoglina, Fiola Mare and Del Mar. This will be their first outside of the nation's capital.
"Maria and I have always loved visiting South Florida with our children, and we have long hoped we would one day be able to open a restaurant in such a growing, vibrant, and diverse community," says the James Beard Award winning Chef Fabio Trabocchi. "Fiola was the first restaurant we opened together, and we think it's only appropriate for our first restaurant outside of the D.C. area be one that means so much to us. We're excited to come to Coral Gables, and we hope to make our dining room feel like your own."
Among Trabocchi's signature dishes: Lobster ravioli with ginger and chives; bucatini and prawns; hay smoked potato gnocchi with morels, ramps, and Pecorino di Fossa. Fiola will also offer a variety of salads, crudo, pastas, meats and seafood, from both the grill and raw bar, using local ingredients "whenever possible.
This is the second D.C. Italian restaurant to announce an opening in Miami. The first was Sette Osteria, opening in Wynwood.
Fiola in D.C. is a power lunch powerhouse. But don't ask the owners who eats there. They won't tell. And the same goes for Miami. "We know 'who's who' so we can set the dining room flawlessly to make everyone happy — that includes understanding things like when they want a quiet table in the corner, as well as who sits next to whom," Maria Trabocchi told Thrillist, adding "There is nothing casual about a power lunch — it's when important things happen."
1500 San Ignacio Ave., Coral Gables

So this '02 Taurus with only 87k miles on her starts right up every time multiple times a day except for twice in the last 3 weeks. The first time was 3 weeks ago and the second was today. It happened the same both times. Turn the key and stop to let the pump prime, then when I turn to the start position the engine turns real slow and sort of in fits. Usually when a battery is low the engine turns slow but in rhythm. During my 2 starts the engine barely seemed to turn and the crankshaft rpm seemed to vary. On both starting events I let off the key and tried to start 2-3 times with rests in between. But then eventually on the 4th try it starts right up just as quickly as a normal start.
I have No clue as to what might be causing this. Only thing I know to do is, next time it does this to put a voltage meter on the battery to see if it's weak. Actually though, because both events the engine ended up starting up like normal that would indicate something other than the batt. Electrically this car is a little odd though. The interior light never comes on when the doors are opened, for years, and then last week it comes on twice when one of the rear doors is opened.

Pushing the start button the engine turns and will forever without starting. But if I use the kick start it will start with one or two kicks everytime, any idea as to what is going on. New good battery and coil, I'm ready to try anything. It's a great bike, but this is getting anoying. Thank you.

Last time I installed a remote start system it was on an old Dynasty whose wiring was too delicate to work on really. A couple weeks after installation it started ok but a ton of white smoke came from under the dash. I uninstalled the entire system and everything was fine after that.
So in picking out a starter for this '02 Taurus I want something simple that will work with this car well. The start systems I'm seeing are generally designed to do door locking and unlocking, trunk release, etc. As this car already has those functions on a fob I won't be using any function on any future remote start system other than the remote start.
Can anyone with knowledge of my car recommend a decent but low cost / low extra functions start system that would work well with my Taurus?

Hi all new to the forum I have a Yamaha Moto 4 champ (100cc?)
