A common issue with children, bedwetting affects around five-seven million children in the United States. Affecting mostly boys, bedwetting occurs in all ages and both sexes.
Many people view nocturnal enuresis as a childhood condition, but both adolescents and adults do suffer from it. One-two percent of adults and one-three percent of teens can be classified as enuretic. Around five percent of boys and one percent of girls at age 12 have the condition.
A child who has a parent (or both parents) who were also enuretic is more likely to suffer from bedwetting. It is no longer believed that stress or sleep disorders are a risk factor for developing the condition.
At one time, it was thought that bedwetting was due to psychological factors, but now, medical professionals believe that physiological and developmental factors play a role. It is widely believed that for the majority of children who suffer from bedwetting, there is not a medical cause. Instead, it's more likely due to a developmental delay with the bladder, causing the child not to wake up when the bladder is full.
Another factor believed to be a cause is the lack of an antidiuretic hormone that most people produce in their sleep. This hormone reduces the amount of urine that is created during sleep. This factor is common for adults who are enuretic. An overactive bladder or bladder cancer can also be a cause for adults.
To diagnose a child with nocturnal enuresis, he or she must be at least five years old with two or more incidents of wetting the bed a month. During the evaluation, the doctor will conduct a physical exam, take a urinalysis and study the medical history of the child. Other factors, such as injuries or infections, need to be ruled out before a diagnosis is made.
Commonly, doctors will advise parents to take a "wait and see" approach. Most children do grow out of it. Due to the unsettling nature of the problem, many parents would rather seek treatment to allow the child to have a better sense of self-esteem, especially if it is a nightly occurrence.
To correct the problem, there are several treatment methods available for parents that do not want to wait it out. One option is an alarm that goes off when it gets wet, which has shown promise for patients and families. There are also medications that can be used: desmopressin, which decreases urine production during sleep, and imipramine, a drug that relaxes the bladder muscle.

The new Google Chrome operating system isn't like Windows, Mac or Linux. For one thing, it will make your computer turn on faster than a TV does. For another, it can't change files on your computer. Your programs and files exist only on the web. The nice thing about that is that if you lose your computer, you don't lose programs or data. Borrow any machine and you'll still see your own stuff, as soon as you log in.
If you want your files to exist somewhere other than on the Internet, you can also plug in a USB drive and the contents open up in their own window, called a "panel."
Tech-y types can download the beta version of the Chrome OS here. To make it work, you need the free "VMPlayer," which allows Chrome OS to run "virtually," without changing your own operating system. VMPlayer is easiest to download here at download.com.

What kind of editor do you need for your novel?
To produce salable work when publishing independently, it is important to hire a professional editor to make your book its best. But did you know there are four different kinds of editors? Knowing which kind your book needs is key to getting the most out of your investment. I learned the hard way and share with you my journey here.
Sucking at Amazon ads, round two
The tougher the job, the greater the reward - George Allen Sr.
Where is my river of money, my shower of Benjamins, my riches in royalties? I did, after, write a whole book and send it into the Amazon machine to be served up on Kindle's around the English-speaking world. Don't I deserve my reward!
When I took my first run at an Amazon campaign to promote my novel Succubus, I failed to generate any results (I wish I was being hyperbolic - I mean no results). I made some tweaks to the wording and placement of my ad and sent it out into the world for a second run. The result? More of the nothing. In fact, less of nothing.
The campaign was programmed to run for ten days with a $10 per day budget. Amazon could have taken $100 of my hard-earned dollars, but apparently chose not to. Because the problem was not that people did not click my ad or that when people did click my ad, they failed to convert into readers of my book. The problem is that the ad wasn't even served by Amazon.
Over the ten-day run, Amazon served the ad (impressions) only three times. Three times! Which is actually less than the number of impressions my first ad triggered (the ad I 'fixed' for the second campaign). Of course I generated no clicks. No-one saw the ad. It never had a chance to be judged, to draw the eye, to encourage someone to want to at least look at the book's page and ponder for a fraction of a minute if they wanted to download a sample.
I don't understand how this happens. And God knows there isn't a human being at Amazon I can call and ask (there isn't, is there?). I want to know what to try next. Should I change my pricing? Should I target a different keyword/category? Should I change my title? My book cover? To find some hint at what to try for round three, I turned to the all-powerful and all-knowing multi-colored Artificial Intelligence behind the curtain of my computer screen - Google.
It's about the motherfudging keywords dummy!
The first article I read covered the basics of what the Amazon ad campaign program is and reinforced that I at least set my campaigns up right. But it didn't really have any deep insight drawn from experience of how to make the system wake up and recognize your ad. It did have this helpful suggestion though - As a general rule of thumb, I've found that impressions and clicks can be hard to come by, so more keywords is better. You never know which keyword might turn out to be a surprise winner, and you can always pause under-performing keywords from your campaign once you have data.
For my second ad, I targeted the category of which my book is listed (Supernatural Thrillers). This seems to suggest that targeting keywords, and a broad set of keywords, might get the ad served. Those keywords need to be relevant though. Otherwise, the ad will not resonate with the potential reader. That led me to this Amazon page regarding keywords for Mystery and Thriller authors.
Back to the campaign. I duplicated campaign number two. There's no need to change the ad because in order to test the ad itself, I have to get it served. My focus this time around is on how to get impressions. Then I can pivot to converting impressions to clicks and clicks to sales.
In the new campaign setup, I paid more attention to the keyword section. Honestly, I am slapping my forehead about it this but I thought you could only choose one. But you can, in fact, select multiple keywords.
Amazon presents you with a list of suggested keywords (keywords tied to your category and, I assume, book description). It also allows you to create your own keywords. The theory I'm testing here is that I need to target the ad to a broader potential pool of readers (as identified by the keywords they are searching in), but not too broad as to waste impressions on readers who are not looking at anything even remotely related to my fiction. That led me to develop a keyword list ten words and phrases deep. Most related to the content (Succubus, Supernatural), but I also added some of the top supernatural thriller author names. I figure if someone is a Dean Koontz fan, they might be open to my book.
I really do feel like I'm stumbling to try and figure this stuff out. And I consider myself a reasonably smart person. The fact that I am only figuring out keywords as part of the ad campaign process the third time through is embarrassing. But I'd rather share that I am dumb and just learning than pretend I have all this stuff figured out because I am writing this for the next person like me, someone who is trying to figure things out for themselves and just on the front end of a lifelong journey to create and share their art.
This campaign will run for two weeks. I will post results after I get them.
Tennessee Honey – after writing
How to write a first draft
A fitful first start at Amazon ads
Why soft-launches don't work for books
Since I published Succubus, I have not done much to promote it. If I had to examine my reasons why, I'd say fear ranks at the top of the list. Fear of negative feedback, specifically. The result of that inaction is predictable; my book has sold only a measly handful of copies.
Not promoting your first self-published book is a predictable mistake. If you read any of the advice available online from the successful independent authors who have blazed the path for writers like us, they all say the same thing. Don't just publish your first book and hope for the best. You have to promote!
Beyond the fact that I have no sales and no revenue from this eighteen-month long project, my lack of promotion means I also have no reviews. Good and bad, reviews are the kind of feedback a writer can grow from. As much as my instinct was to launch my book into the world by sticking it quietly in a corner or Amazon and drawing no attention to it, I need feedback. From actual readers.
Reviews also mean a lot to the almighty Amazon algorithm. That algorithm is like a self-perpetuating machine that can launch your book beyond any reach you can develop for yourself. It's a snowball that if you can just get your book rolled into, builds you readers and money and the opportunity to reach the ultimate dream of writing for you complete living. If I ever want the machine to kick in and start promoting my books to likely readers, I have to it to get noticed. Sales and chatter (reviews) are what matter.
All of which is to say that I know I need to promote my story.
There are, of course, a million ways to promote a book. If you Google the subject, you can very quickly go down the rabbit hole of peoples ideas, theories, past successes, and paid services. I am little-more pragmatic than that. I don't have a blog following or a social-media presence (since I'm not wired that way) so I am going to focus first on learning to use the tools available. Since my book is on Amazon exclusively (for sale and as part of the Kindle Unlimited program - a conscious decision until I actually build a readership and need to expand back out to other markets), I am learning to use the Amazon ad campaign options first.
My first Amazon ad campaign
Setting up my first Amazon Ad campaign was a painless process. The options to try Amazon ads come up right in your Kindle Direct Publishing dashboard. There are a few small steps to get started.
- First, you create the campaign (give it name, select the book you want to promote). It auto-generates an ad from your cover and you type in a snappy, short come-on pitch. My initial pitch "Logan Baker Baker enters a mysterious desert compound and falls under the spell of an alluring but frightening entity that calls itself Constance."
- You program what categories or reader groups you want to target. In this case, I chose the option for Amazon to decide what categories to place your ad.
- You set the duration of your ad. I opted for a one-week run (to limit the test).
- You decide how much you want to risk/invest. I set a budget of $10 per day maximum. The way the ad works is that Amazon serves the ad and when someone clicks on it, you get charged $0.25 for that click. With a $10 per day budget, I was paying for 20 potential clicks on my ad per day.
- Once you complete the process of building a campaign, it goes through an approval process. It took 48-hours the first time (which meant my ad ran only five days and not seven).
The theory is that a certain percentage of people who click on an ad will download the sample, select the book as part or their Kindle Unlimited subscription, or buy the book. That percentage is the golden number. The higher percentage of people who 'convert,' the less each sale costs (in clicks). If I can yield a sale for an average cost of something that does not consume all my profit per book, then each ad campaign should return greater than its investment (if $10 invested gets me $20 in royalties, then I am golden). If I can get that conversion number right, reinvesting profit from all sales should produce a snowballing reader base. And get my the reviews and readers I need to actually get this thing rolling.
And then there were none
My ad ran. But, unfortunately, at the end of the run, I have nothing to show for the campaign. Looking at the stats, I can see that Amazon barely served the ad at all. And that for the 19 times they did serve it, no-one clicked on it. So I never even had a chance to convert someone into a reader ;-(
On the positive side, the experiment cost me nothing. On the negative side, I again have no feedback on which to grow. So I replicated the campaign to try the experiment again but am left to guess what adjustments to make to try and succeed.
My first guess is that the ad text was not strong enough so I have re-written it this way. "Logan Baker enters a mysterious desert compound and finds himself in the fight of his life with an alluring but frightening supernatural enemy."
My second guess is that the targeting was not specific enough so I set the ad to target the Supernatural Thrillers category on Amazon.
The new campaign is running. The results (impressions served, clicks, and any corresponding sales or KU reads, can take days after the fact to show up in the reporting. I'll be watching and see what I can learn from the iteration of the ad. Hopefully, there will be some feedback to measure, some hint at what is working and what is not. So I can adjust, iterate, try again. And share everything I learn as I do it.

Are you afraid that you'll never look as good as a celebrity? You may want to rethink this. All it takes is the proper motivation and knowledge and you can achieve any look you are going for. This article will help you obtain the look you desire.
For an easy and fast fashion boost, wear a belt. You can get a belt in many designs or colors. When you're wearing a monochrome look, a pop of color around your midsection can add interest to your outfit.
An up-do is a fantastic way to change your appearance for a period of time. Long hair is a real pain during busy times. When you don't have time to fuss with your tresses, grab a hair elastic, and pull long locks up into a cute, messy bun.
Be careful when wearing those sexy sheer blouses or dresses. If you select an item that shows a bit too much skin, you will just look like you are trying too hard.
When it comes to hair accessories, there are millions of options available. Some hair accessories you can use are headbands, ponytail holders and things like hair extensions. No matter the length of your hair, be sure to include some hair accessories in your wardrobe for every occasion. For example, if you want to look athletic, wear an athletic suit and a matching ponytail holder. When going for an evening out, select a fashionable barrette that complements what you are wearing.
Bring lots of neutral colors when you go on a trip. When the colors all go together, you can use them daily without any worries. You can pull your whole look together with a belt, scarf or some other colorful accessory.
Go through your closet and clean it out once in a while. Having a lot of clothes may feel like more options, but it isn't always the truth. Excess closet clutter actually limits your options! Sift through your wardrobe, tossing any items that don't fit well or that you haven't worn in a year or more. A wardrobe comprised of a few classic, versatile pieces will be more wearable than a closet full of outdated styles.
Stay away from floral patterns if you are of the larger body size. Depending on the fabric, these shapes can actually emphasize your largest attributes, creating an unflattering look. Find a dress with smaller patterns to reduce the emphasis on your body size and more on the detail.
As you can see, it isn't that hard to look your best. Taking time to learn fashion tips can help assure you always look good. By utilizing the tips and techniques located in the aforementioned article, you will look your best.

KeyNexus, a division of Dark Matter Labs, today announced a secure encryption key-management service that lets organizations store, manage and audit the encryption keys they use in the cloud.
Expected to be available the end of this month, the KeyNexus service will initially support Amazon Web Services. The service will cost about $50 per month for two AWS instances where encryption keys are needed, though there will be a trial period where it will be free. Dark Matter Labs makes a line of data-encryption hardware appliances and the KeyNexus service represents a next step for that technology for cloud security key management, says CEO Jeff MacMillan.
[RELATED:Flexibility stressed for encryption and key management in the cloud]
[MORE:When tech empires fall: 10 companies and products that dominated... and then didn't]
"Companies are realizing they don't want to store their encryption keys in the cloud," says MacMillan, noting that the Cloud Security Alliance, the group devising security standards for cloud-based services, says the encryption keys used in them should not necessarily be stored in the same cloud for security reasons.
Since business customers increasingly expect to use encryption in a variety of cloud services, the question is where it might be best to store a slew of them securely. MacMillan's argument is that enterprises shouldn't store and manage encryption keys in the same cloud location where they're used.
"You'll have encryption in 10 different clouds, and manage seven to 15 sets of keys," MacMillan says. He points out that there are already a handful of encryption vendors for Amazon Web Services today, including Trend Micro, Porticor, SafeNet and Afore Solutions.
The KeyNexus services for AWS is based on hardware appliances kept and managed at Equinix in the U.S. where the encryption keys are encrypted in hardware-based storage and available round-the-clock to the customer. KeyNexus may support other cloud-based services in the future as well. Dark Matter Labs is based in Victoria, Canada.
The KeyNexus key-management service evolved from the Dark Matter Labs hardware appliance used for key management, which Vijay Raghavendra, CTO at Inkiru says he deployed for the Inkiru data-analytics platform that supplies e-commerce-based analysis for purposes of both fraud prevention and customer buying patterns.
"It was important for us to meet the standards set by our customers," said Raghavendra about secure key-management in the cloud, though he adds that because Inkiru was just acquired by Walmart Labs for Walmart's e-commerce operations, there are no plans now for immediate use of KeyNexus.

I get the following error when trying to connect to a particular FTP server on port 990.
Using Implicit SSL ImplicitSsl: 1 AuthTls: 0 AuthSsl: 0 ftpConnect: Hostname: ftps.xyz.com Port: 990 Connecting via SSL/TLS IdleTimeoutMs: 10000 socket2Connect: connect2: connectImplicitSsl: clientHandshake: clientHandshake2: readHandshakeMessages: sockRecv: Socket operation timeout.

(3) --connectImplicitSsl ConnectFailReason: 103 --connect2 --socket2Connect ConnectFailReason: 103 --ftpConnect Failed to connect to FTP server.
This was caused by the FTP server being configured for explicit SSL/TLS on port 990.
Port 990 is customarily the implicit SSL/TLS port for FTP. Implicit SSL/TLS is such that when the TCP connection is made, the TLS handshake immediately begins. Both sides, client and server, must be expecting this to occur. Otherwise one side would be "talking" the TLS handshake while the other was not (and a timeout would occur).
Explicit SSL/TLS is different. It's when TCP connection is made initially, and then later via an FTP command, the TLS handshake occurs to convert the connection to a secure channel.
Programmers often get confused by the Ftp2.Ssl and Ftp2.AuthTls properties, and often set them incorrectly. The "Ssl" property indicates implicit SSL/TLS, whereas the AuthTls property indicates explicit SSL/TLS. The AutoFix property, turned on by default, automatically fixes the problem when the programmer sets AuthTls = true for port 990. However, if some FTP administrator, not aware of the standard conventions for particular port numbers, configures the FTP server such that port 990 is for explicit TLS, then AutoFix=true will cause a problem. The solution is to set AutoFix=false, and then set AuthTls = true for port 990 (but only for the case where the FTP administrator, in my opinion, made the very poor choice of using port 990 w/ explicit TLS).

Our new website goes live on November 4. If you would like to see the future of innovation, click here for a preview of the new Franklin Fueling Systems website.
"Skimmers" are devices which thieves use at fuel dispensers to steal customers' credit and debit card information from at-pump card readers. As skimming technology becomes more advanced it also becomes more prevalent. Wireless skimmers can be hidden within the dispenser, making them extremely hard to spot. In one US State alone, the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Service found 166 skimmer devices between March and December of 2015. Each skimmer may affect between 100 and 5,000 consumers before it is discovered, stealing on average $1,000 from each victim¹.
In November 2015, Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Adam H. Putnam announced the filing of legislation² to help protect consumers from skimmers and provide better tools to combat fraud at gas stations, by:
There is also a range of options available from Franklin Fueling Systems that offers ways for station owners to protect consumers from skimming and data theft.
Fuel Management Systems
INCON™ brand TS-550 evo™ fuel management systems feature highly sophisticated processors and software. The powerful rules engine allows you to wire various inputs and outputs to determine if your fuel dispenser pump is being tampered with and, if so, what actions the tank gauge should take. Pairing the fuel management system with a few third-party sensors or accessories can greatly improve your ability to protect your fuel.
Property Security
A magnetic contact sensor includes two surface mounted magnets which can send a signal to a controller when one magnet moves away from the other. Mounting a magnetic contact sensor on your dispenser access panels or your exterior doors provides added security against theft or tampering. Once paired with a TS-550 evo™, the tank gauge can sound an alarm if either the access panels or exterior doors are opened when they shouldn't be. This feature successfully aided in the arrest of criminals attempting to install a skimming device in California in 2014³.
The TS-550 evo™ can be programmed to send two types of alarm on a triggering event: audible or silent. An audible alarm will alert station staff and could help to scare away anyone tampering with fuel dispensers. A silent alarm will send a text message or email alert to the site owner, police department or another designated contact without alerting thieves.
As skimming devices are placed in at-pump card readers it is important that station owners are able to keep an eye on these at-risk pumps, especially those further away from the storefront. TS-550 evo™ tank gauges can be paired with motion sensor devices to automatically turn on lights or video surveillance cameras when a customer pulls in to the forecourt and turn off again when they leave. This adds an extra level of security, especially for 24/7 fueling points, and also reduces costs as video surveillance equipment and lights are only turned on when they need to be.
The TS-550 evo™ can also be programmed to automatically shut down a dispenser if the video surveillance camera covering it stops working. If surveillance cameras are tampered with the affected pump will shut down, warning site owners that the pump needs to be checked for evidence of tampering. This feature can help protect a site owner from fuel theft, as well as protecting customers from skimming devices.

A Google Sitemap is a very important element for ranking of your website : it is used to tell Google which pages it must include in his engine. It also helps your new pages to be ranked quicker, and to be sure that all your relevant content is indexed.
A Sitemap, it's basically a map of your website (I hope you already guessed it); a tree of pages in which the level of importance of certain pages over some other pages is cleary visible.
Of course, it's not mandatory to create a Sitemap for your website, its purpose is especially to help Google (then also yourself). It is possible that not all the pages you included in your Sitemap will be added in Google. Even if you show him the way, Google isn't dumb, it will only rank pages that are really relevant.
This means that you should give up for contact pages, help pages, or any other page that is not relevant. Rather than this, try to rank your « best » pages, those that have content of quality.
Depending on how your website is build (static website or dynamic website), the way to build your sitemap may vary. This article will show you some common ways to do it.
At any time, you should refer to the Google documentation about Sitemaps.

When I say static, I mean a Sitemap you have make yourself, line by line, and that won't update itself automatically. That's what we normally use for websites that only have static contents, pure HTML.
To do this, don't waste your time in writing it yourself, you can rather use an automatic Sitemap generator. You can also use it for a dynamic website that doesn't rewrite URLs, but you will have to generate it everytime you want to update it (usally, often) – this is something you'll forget to do, for sure.
Create a dynamic Sitemap
A dynamic Sitemap will update itself automatically, which is useful if you update your website on a regular basis. The method given here is using URL Rewriting to make it more clean and simple.
First, create a .htaccess file, located at the root, or modify the .htaccess file you may already have :
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
# Link for the Sitemap
RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml$ /sitemap.php [L,NC]
This way, sitemap.php will allow us to automatically generate the content of the XML file (the real Sitemap). Each time Google will try to open sitemap.xml, sitemap.php will be executed and will make an update of the XML « file ».
Create a file named sitemap.php. In the example bellow, we get the content of articles of an imaginary blog.
The structure of the table used in the example bellow :
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `blog` (
`id` mediumint(9) NOT NULL COMMENT 'ID of the article',
`texte` text NOT NULL COMMENT 'Text of the article',
`date` date NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COMMENT='Articles of blog';
The content of the file sitemap.php :
// normally, it's localhost
$user = "USERNAME";
$pass = "PASSWORD";
$bdd = "NOM_OF_THE_DB";
@mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass) or die("Unable to connect : ".mysql_error());
@mysql_select_db("$bdd") or die("Unable to select dabatase : ".mysql_error());
// Indicate file type : XML document
header("Content-Type: text/xml");
// MySQL query to get articles of the blog
$requete = "SELECT id, date FROM blog ORDER BY date DESC";
$resultat = mysql_query($requete);
// Writing of the XML file
// Headers :
$sm = ";
$sm .= 'xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
// Articles of the blog
while ($blog=mysql_fetch_array($resultat,MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$sm .= '
$sm .= '
$sm .= '
$sm .= '
$sm .= '
$sm .= '
$sm .= ";
echo $sm;
As you may guess, the Sitemap schema is working on this structure :
|Location of the page. Don't forget to write the domain (http://www.domain.com).
|When was the page updated the last time (or when was it created). This data is normally recorded in your database by your scripts. You must give this value with a W3C valid format.
|What is the frequency of updates for this page? (always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, never). This is only to help Google, Google may not respect this indication. This is useless to set always if you do not plan to update a page once it is created.
Priority is a way for Google to know which pages are more important than some others in your website. This comparison doesn't apply to other websites. It is useless to put 1 everywhere, you won't help yourself. Give a higher priority to pages that seem more important and that updates often.
If everything is well working, you should be able to see your Sitemap if you try to reach the page sitemap.xml. Check if it is valid, and then submit it to Google.
Bien sûr, il est possible d'améliorer ce script de plusieurs façons. Par exemple, vous pouvez stocker dans vos tables de données, dans une colonne priority, la priorité à donner à chacune des pages. Même chose pour le changefreq.
Of course, it's possible to upgrade this script in many ways. For instance, you also could store your pages priorities in an additional column. Same thing for changefreq.
It's of course a lot less complicated with CMS.
Create a dynamic Sitemap for Joomla!
For Joomla!, you have 2 major choices of components : xMap and Joomap, both available for J!1.0x et J!1.5x versions.
Je n'ai pas essayé Joomap, mais xMap fonctionne très bien. Il existe des extensions pour la plupart des composants connus (Sobi2, Adsmanager, Community Builder, …), ce qui est indispensable. Il s'agit des deux plus connus, mais il existe d'autres composants.
I didn't try Joomap, but xMap works fine. There are extensions for most of the popular components (Sobi2, Adsmanager, Community Builder, …), which is very important. xMap and Joomap are the most known components, but there are other components you may want to try.

Photo of the Nuthatch bird; Recently becoming a frequent visitor and a pleasure to watch & photo shoot. A very fast/versatile operator and will be posting quite a few images considering it's frequent visits. In this capture the bird is on the attack (or more like a hijack) to take control of his feeder. Not much editing beyond background contrast & colour which I think enhance the overall composition. Hope you enjoy!
About the Bird
Nuthatches are compact birds with short legs, compressed wings, and square 12-feathered tails. They have long, sturdy, pointed bills and strong toes with long claws. Nuthatches have blue-grey backs (violet-blue in some Asian species, which also have red or yellow bills) and white underparts, which are variably tinted with buff, orange, rufous or lilac. This particular one in the photo is the Eurasian Nuthatch.
Nuthatches prefer a fairly temperate climate; northern species live near sea level whereas those further south are found in cooler highland habitats. Eurasian and red-breasted nuthatches are lowland birds in the north of their extensive ranges, but breed in the mountains further south. All nuthatches nest in cavities; except for the two species of rock nuthatches, all use tree holes, making a simple cup lined with soft materials on which to rest eggs.

Soccer News of Friday, 19 July 2013
Source: Sky Sports
Porto are ready to sell Liverpool and Tottenham transfer target Christian Atsu this summer.
The Portuguese club have been locked in contract talks with the Ghanaian international for the past few months as they looked to bump up his release clause and see off interest from Spurs and Liverpool.
But the report claims they've now given up having failed to make a breakthrough, and are ready to offload the winger to the highest bidder.
Liverpool and Spurs are thought to be among the main suitors, although Merseyside rivals Everton have also been credited with an interest.
A Sky Sports source said: "Porto have indicated they would be willing to sell Christian now as he will not sign a new deal.
"Christian has always said he would like to play in the Premier League and a number of clubs are interested in him."
Atsu hasn't travelled with the Porto squad on their pre-season tour of Holland as he looks to sort out his future.
The Portuguese champions are now open to offers for the skilful winger, which could attract Premier League bids.
Liverpool and Spurs are both thought to be looking to add to their attacking options - especially out wide.
But Roberto Martinez - the recently appointed Everton manager - is keen to add to his squad this summer, and the report claims the Toffees - along with Tottenham - are one of two clubs monitoring developments closely at this stage.

From adrenalin 18.7.1 to 18.8.2 clBuildProgram exited with CL_BUILD_PROGRAM_FAILURE while trying to buld binary from SPIR source with options "-x spir -spir-std=1.2".
clGetProgramBuildInfo return error description:

An invalid option was specified.
Error: BRIG code generation failed.
At the same time clGetDeviceInfo with CL_DEVICE_EXTENSIONS says that cl_khr_spir is supported extension on my R7 360.
I'm confused, does AMD dropped support for SPIR, or this is just a bug? Anyone know something about this?

MIAMI — It's the perfect Miami morning at Carlos Justo's penthouse — warm and bright, with luxury yachts powering through the sparkling blue Atlantic Ocean some 30 stories below.
Justo, a 53-year-old real estate agent, has been awake since 3:30 a.m. but he shows no sign of fatigue. His eyes scan back and forth, from the high rise condos, to the water, and back to the condos.
An assistant, sitting at a glass table with her back to the stunning view, is talking business. She wants to know whether he will receive any commissions or checks anytime soon.
"Right now, we don't have any money," Justo says. He continues talking. Fast. Pacing back and forth, he gazes out the window.
"There's money to be made," he says, grinning. "I'm creating the team. I'm creating the billion-dollar real estate team."
In fact, Justo is $20 million in debt. He is five months into a massive bankruptcy filing. The IRS is after him for $6 million.
And yet, he dreams.
A Cuban immigrant who came to the United States with nothing, Justo's is a rags-to-riches-to-rags story, a peculiarly American dream.
Like so many of our modern titans — like Donald Trump — he inspires both admiration and contempt. Greed, he acknowledges, fueled his rise. Hubris ensured his fall.
Next time, he says, it will all be different.
Stared in high-end market
Living among the wealthy didn't come naturally to Justo; he was born in Cuba, and as a child lived without electricity, running water or plumbing.
His family came to Miami in 1967 when Justo was 11. He got his GED at night school but by the time he was 19, Justo had learned English and bought his first home — a modest, stucco triplex — for $20,000 with money he made as a janitor.
For the man who grew up with so little, talking about homes came easily. So he got his real estate license. Early on, he targeted the top end of Miami's real estate market, the places most folks see on TV: mansions accessorized with palm trees, sugar-sand beaches and turquoise waters.
In 2000, he brokered the $19 million sale of the area's most famous home, the Ocean Drive mansion where fashion designer Gianni Versace was killed.
Justo's success was astronomical, the product of his aggressive enthusiasm, uncanny knowledge of the ultra-rich and a phenomenal real estate market.
In 2005, Justo was worth $20 million. He and the agents who worked for him sold $200 million in real estate in a single year. He was also the owner of 12 multimillion dollar estates in the county's most exclusive enclaves; he intended to eventually flip them and make a profit. Justo and his business partner, Irving Padron, were awarded a prestigious Sotheby's franchise and opened its offices in one of the few historic mansions in downtown Miami.
His strategy seemed like a sure thing in a city filled with speculation.
Unlike most other brokers in Miami at the time, Justo never dealt in new condominiums — he thought they were too risky. In 2005, he was quoted in the Miami Herald as saying, "I refuse to sell condos; I think it's irresponsible. They will end up falling on their asses."
Motivated by greed and ego
Those were the days when Americans were addicted to real estate. It seemed like on every cable channel, there was a different program featuring the nation's collective obsession. Justo was in the middle of it all; a promo for "Million Dollar Agents" described him as "the biggest fish in Miami's shark-infested pool of real estate."
Crews filmed him racing maniacally around Miami, showing luxury homes by day (from a helicopter) and going to parties at night (in a chauffeured Rolls Royce). Cameras captured his unorthodox methods of doing business: using a lunar calendar to plan deals, going barefoot during meetings, meditating with his sales team.
Justo was a natural on TV, with his amber eyes, bald head and perpetual tan. His custom-made, silk suits — white or black or occasionally red — looked suspiciously like pajamas, which he wore to closings and clubs alike.
"We get paid for having fun!" Justo roared in one episode.
Justo spent $1,000 on sushi lunches. $3,000 a month on life coaching. He didn't accumulate many things — he enjoyed sparsely decorated, all-white furniture and rooms — and freely let his friends stay in the various homes he owned.
Justo says that during those years, he "wasn't operating out of integrity" — and that many of the people surrounding him weren't, either. Greed and ego were his motivation. He took advice, he says, from the wrong people and didn't pay attention to details.
He also didn't make many friends, says Kevin Tomlinson, a real estate blogger and Miami Beach agent who says Justo stole on of his clients in the late '90s.
"When I got into the business, he was the king. He was the legend that everybody looked and aspired to be," Tomlinson said. "But over the years, his reputation within the broker industry is a mixture of people being afraid or intimidated by him and his success or downright loathing."
Justo took out mortgages he couldn't afford, tapped into equity, splurged with credit cards. He didn't diversify his portfolio and didn't save a penny.
"I knew the market was going to crash," he said. "It was irresponsible what we did, what all of us did in the United States. We took out huge loans, we bought things that people had no business buying."
Checking account balance: $49.73
Friday, Feb. 13, 2009. A clerk at the federal court in Miami stamped "RECEIVED" on Justo's bankruptcy filing.
For three years, Justo had tried to avoid filing Chapter 7, even borrowing $15,000 from his 85-year-old mother and $75,000 from his 83-year-old aunt to pay his monthly debts. But he was underwater on too many mortgages. There were other creditors, too, including the IRS, which claimed that he should have filed his taxes in the United States, not in the Virgin Islands, which Justo says is his principal residence.
He was named in two lawsuits, one filed by a former real estate agent who worked for his team, and another by Padron, his former business partner. Both sought hundreds of thousands of dollars, alleging that Justo didn't pay commissions on various deals.
Justo had no savings, no stocks, no bonds.
His checking account hit bottom at $49.73. His financial picture was summed up in one dry sentence in the bankruptcy filing: "At the current time, the debtor has no income due to the state of the real estate market."
That week, at the urging of a friend, Justo had offered his penthouse as a crash pad to a group of traveling Buddhist monks from Tibet. As the monks chanted in an even baritone, Justo's mind reeled in turmoil.
"What happens if everything is gone?" he thought.
He wrote a $3,000 check as a donation to the Buddhist monks. It bounced.
'A world with all possibilities'
Sparked by a former co-worker, Justo had studied New Age and Buddhist philosophy for years, visiting meditation retreats, spiritual centers and monasteries. But somehow, he said, the concepts of attachment and greed never really sank in until he went bankrupt.
It was the scariest thing he had ever done; scarier than meeting Fidel Castro twice in the mid 1990s, more daunting than coming out as a gay man to his parents.
"Fear is not something I'm familiar with," he says.
It was scary, he said, because it forced him to confront the truth: He had failed. He had come close to bankruptcy before, always somehow pulling himself back from the brink by selling a property or getting a loan. There was no safety net this time, not in this economy.
When he first realized he was about to lose everything, Justo wondered whether it was better not to exist at all. It was the first time, he says, that he had ever considered suicide.
"Then I thought, I'm alive, I love my life. I have my health. I don't have cancer," he says. "I started to realize how little I need to really live."
As he sheds mansions (five have already been taken by the bank, and it seems like the penthouse will be gone soon, as well) and possessions (he only owns about $6,000 worth of stuff, including furniture, clothing and, some Buddhist art), Justo insists that material possessions mean nothing to him.
And if he manages to make money again, he insists he won't be foolish with it.
"I'm creating a real estate empire based on love," he says, adding that he plans to give large chunks of his cash away to charity — once he puts a million dollars each in the bank accounts of his mother and aunt.
"In the past, I created my own hell. I needed to be brought to my knees," he says. "Whatever you believe, you create. Today, I live in a world with all possibilities."
But for Justo, those possibilities still include luxury. "I've been rich and I've been poor, and I like being rich a lot better," he says.
He says that after he pays his family back, he wants a yacht. And maybe a personal chef.
Which begs the question: Has he really learned from his mistakes?
He's back and ready to sell
It's 8:30 a.m. on a bright Miami morning and Justo has assembled a dozen people in his penthouse. They sit in a circle facing the boss and drinking coffee.
Four of Justo's "Billion-Dollar Team" are in attendance. One of his lawyers is there. So is Justo's masseuse. And a banker who is foreclosing on the penthouse. There's also an interior designer, a former client who owns a $12 million estate and the architect who is designing Michael Jordan's Florida home.
Justo talks, nonstop, for nearly two hours. The message: He's back and ready to sell. If he is afraid of the future — one in which he has to borrow money to pay his bankruptcy attorney, his cell phone bill and food — he's not showing it. It seems as though Justo is actually having fun talking about his troubles.
"That Bernie Madoff guy, the day he came clean and said he stole all those millions, that's the day he was freed," Justo says.
It's Justo's acceptance of his failure that will propel him back to the top, his friends say.
"I fully expect him to land on his feet," says Jeffrey Rubenstein, one of Justo's lawyers. "He owns what has happened to him. In this day and age and particularly in Miami, that's a very unusual thing."
But his brother, Alex Justo, is worried.
"To me, I don't think my brother needs what he's trying to build again," said Alex, who thinks his brother should focus on what he's good at — selling — and not involve others in his success. "Forget about making this billion dollar whatever. There's no other Realtor in town that does what my brother does. He's a genius."
Justo and two of his agents descend from the penthouse and hop in a Range Rover — the Rolls Royce is long gone — and they begin a daylong frenzy of appointments and meetings. First, a cup of turbocharged Cuban coffee with his mother. Then, a powwow with his bankruptcy attorney. In the lobby, a flat-screen TV broadcasts a CNN headline: "Good Borrowers Go Bust!"
When Justo emerges from the hour-long meeting, an agent tells him that a Saudi Arabian sheik wants to know if there are any estate rentals in Miami for $20,000 a month. Justo orders the agent to follow up, immediately.
In the car, there are calls to clients, showings arranged, listings discussed. Then, a break for lunch.
There are no more three-hour lunches. Justo and a few of his agents go to South Beach to eat on lounge chairs on the sand. His sales manager — a man from Macedonia who started as his chauffeur three years ago — totes a small bottle of sake in a lunch pail for Justo. Another agent brings a plastic bag filled with plastic foam cartons of ceviche.
Justo kicks off his loafers and strips his white pajama-suit off. He's down to his black Speedo.
Finally, he's stopped talking. He runs on the sand alone, toward the turquoise ocean. Wading into the water, he dives, head first, into a wave.

Tom Catalano looks on approvingly as three clean-cut, dead-eyed guys slouch under a wall of electric guitars. Members of the Ukrainian rock band Yavyshche, they're scarfing gyros before heading off to practice.
"A lot of musicians come in here to eat because they like to watch the videos and hear the surround sound and look at guitars," says Catalano, the owner of Tommy's Rock & Roll Cafe, a music store and sandwich-and-doughnut shop near Chicago and Western, on the edge of the little Italian neighborhood called the Patch. "But we get the whole gamut: Hispanic customers, black customers, white customers, city workers, suit-and-tie guys, and young kids all come in here."
Catalano says the place is a success because he runs a clean ship and serves good food with friendly service. But the visual impact of rows of bright, shiny, lacquered Strats, Gibsons, and Ricks catercorner to rows of sweet, shiny, glazed crullers, bismarcks, and bear claws must trigger some primitive pleasure receptor in the brain to keep guitar sales going at odd hours.
"I've sold many guitars at 7:30 in the morning," says Catalano. "Some guy'll stop in for coffee and a doughnut and start eyeballing them. I'll say, 'If there's anything you'd like to see up there I'll pull it down.' And he'll play it right here. They don't blast it, but I'll say, 'Wait until it clears out if you really want to hear this guitar scream.'"
Catalano has dabbled in psychologically manipulative business practices before. In 1969, when he was 19, he, his brother, and a friend opened a head shop called the Ox--featuring a wide selection of bongs, pipes, and black-light posters--inside the buffet-style Paul Bunyan restaurant in Old Town. Years later he ran a place in a mall in Matteson he named Zoo Cookery, selling candy, ice cream, cookies, hot pretzels--and stuffed animals.
About four and a half years ago, the owners of the doughnut factory next door moved to Addison and sold their outlet business to Catalano, who had been distributing their doughnuts to fast-food restaurants. Almost immediately he and his partner--his son, Tom--started making changes, adding 25 kinds of sandwiches ("gravy sandwich--69¢"), rearranging counters, adding seating, installing a slushy machine. But it wasn't a until a year and a half ago, when he was thinking of opening a separate store to handle the guitar trade he was running out of his house, that he thought of combining the two. "I was thinking, I've got people over there already and it would be really cool to have pictures up and guitars hanging and music videos going on. I'll make it a rock 'n' roll cafe." In the week between Christmas and New Year's they hauled in the guitars and amps, put up some Tom Petty, ZZ Top, and Van Halen posters, and perched a huge TV that plays Fleetwood Mac and Eagles concert videos on top of the refrigerator.
The renovations are ongoing. A few weeks ago a neighborhood photographer hung up her collection of 22 autographed stills of Elvis impersonators. "I used to play with that guy," says Catalano, pointing to a photo signed "Tony Rome." "We used to do a 50s set where we'd dress up in leather coats with our hair slicked back and sunglasses and that kind of stuff. And then we'd do a Vegas show where we'd wear vests and shirts and he'd drive up in a limo. We even did weddings for all these Elvis-crazed people. I stood with him for three or four years until it busted up like most bands do." Now there are plans to expand into the back of the factory with keyboards, drums, and PA equipment.
Catalano has lived on the same block in the Patch his whole life, and he's played guitar in rock and blues bands almost as long. His first guitar was a Teisco--a cheap, mass-produced Japanese model--and he and his brother took lessons from an old guy in the neighborhood who was really an accordion teacher. "We went to lessons for a few months, just learning a note here and a note there," he says. "We got frustrated just learning these little 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' songs." Instead they bought a chord book and taught themselves Beatles tunes. Eventually they began playing clubs and dances, and along the way Catalano cultivated a guitar collection, buying, selling, and trading as he fell in and out of love with them.
"It's like when you were 19 and had a girlfriend and you really liked her, but then you saw another girl that tickled your fancy a little bit more," he says. "I guess it's the same thing with guitars." Catalano estimates he's fallen out of love with about 25 guitars he once swore he'd never sell. One of them--a black hollow-body Guild Deluxe Jumbo 12-string--is hanging on the wall with a $1,495 price tag. "I bought this guitar for myself," he says. "It's a beautiful guitar, a rare guitar. I've never seen another one like it. I really loved it, and then after a while..." He trails off. "It's just a fickle kind of thing. That's who I am."

Our second and third 12 months sport research students have been within the mist of the wholesome faculties project through March and April. As most NBA followers have in all probability heard by now, the Cleveland Cavaliers' Kevin Love scored 34 points in the first quarter final night time in main his staff to a 137-one hundred twenty five victory over visiting Portland. It was a record for many points in the first quarter, but not for any quarter. This is significantly fascinating particularly because girls's comparatively weak leg bones have been a crimson herring for scientists for some time. It is obvious now, but the truth that this mystery survived for therefore lengthy probably has to do with the assumptions early scientists made about women. In fact, we were simply looking in the mistaken place.

What's Happening? How to Recognize a Pet Emergency
That gagging sound you hear in the hall or the odd way your pet is suddenly holding their paw…there are times in a pet owner's life when the unexpected occurs. Even when we do our best to protect them, our animal friends still have a way of getting into trouble.
Unfortunately, almost all pets will experience some type of pet emergency at some point in their lives. There are false alarms, however, like the time you went overboard when your pet had that single bout of diarrhea. The problem is how to stay alert and proactive while also remaining calm and informed. That's why the team at Goldorado Animal Hospital wants to help take the mystery out of pet emergencies.
Emergencies That Need Immediate Attention
Before we dive in, let's cover the facts. The following situations always need veterinary attention, even when a pet appears "fine:"
- Fall from a height
- Attack from another animal
- Hit by a car
- Sudden lameness
- Injury to the eye
- Obvious fracture or deep wounds
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Bleeding from the mouth, nose, or anus
- Severe vomiting/diarrhea
- Difficulty breathing
- Delayed birth (more than 3-4 hours between kittens/puppies)
- Abdominal bloating (stomach is hard to the touch)
- Trouble urinating
- Seizure
- Loss of consciousness
Monitor and Contact Your Vet
Other times, symptoms may indicate a possible pet emergency that could also easily be a false alarm. After all, pets do get the occasional tummy ache or muscle pain after too much fun at the dog park. If you observe the following signs, we recommend calling us for further instructions:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Sudden muscle or joint pain that is alleviated by rest
- Slight increase in temperature
- Coughing, sneezing, or respiratory illness
- Lethargy
- Feeling something is "off" with your pet
Pet Emergency Preparedness
One great way to assuage some of your fears about pet emergencies is to have an emergency plan in place. For example, do you have a pet first aid kit? Do you have a list of emergency clinics nearby?
Here are a few ideas of how to be more prepared for any situation:
- Create a list of emergency clinics and after-hour instructions.
- Keep a list of your pet's medications and medical records in a location that's easily accessible.
- Store a crate or carrier, as well as extra leashes and collars in a convenient place.
- Assemble a pet first aid kit and download the first aid app from the American Red Cross.
- Keep extra blankets and towels in your stash of pet supplies.
While a pet emergency is something we don't want to think about, being informed and prepared and acting quickly can help get your pet back on track should the need arise. If you'd like more information, please contact us!

Mountain of the Great Redoubt; and I was still seeming close upon it; yet, in truth, gone a long and weariful distance.
And in the space of five hours was I clear of that House; and did have a greater ease about my heart; but yet was not free to come to food nor to slumber, the both of which I did sorely need; for I had slept neither eat for a weariful time, as you do know.
And three days more I journeyed thus, and did never cease to creep downward weariful upon my hands and knees; and the Diskos I had to my hip, and so shall you know how I carried it.
And you shall mind how bitter had been my labour and weariness in all that time; and I did know of a surety that sleep must come heavily upon me; so that I was sorely in need that I should search out a safe place; for I should not be lightly waked, until that I had slept away the tiredness of my heart, and the weariful achings from my body.
And a great trouble began to take me; for, indeed, Naani had not told me how great was the sea; and it might be that I should wander a weariful age across it, before that I come to the far side.
Yet, in a time, I had more of courage which brought strength unto my heart, and I began again to go upon my way, but with an utter caution, and I then to creep for a weary time upon my hands and knees among the dank and weariful rocks and boulders that lay in the bottom of the Gorge.
At that we looked at one another through the smoke and the growing dark, and, even as we looked, it became plainer heard, until, in a while, it was all about us — aye! it seemed to come floating down through the broken framework of the skylight as though some weariful, unseen thing stood and cried upon the decks above our heads.
Thus, after a weariful time of pulling, we got the end of the bigger rope up to the hill-top, and discovered it to be an extraordinarily sound rope of some four inches diameter, and smoothly laid of fine yarns round and very true and well spun, and with this we had every reason to be satisfied.
Thus, after a weariful time, away Eastwards the sky began to tell of the coming of the day; and, as the light grew and strengthened, so did that insatiable growling pass hence with the dark and the shadows.
And so I came at the last to a time when I had walked through four-and-twenty weariful hours; and was eager that I should come to

5 Reasons Why We Feel Pappi Ji Of Tanu Weds Manu Returns Deserves A Spin-off
Actor Deepak Dobriyal, who played Pappi in Tanu Weds Manu film franchise, scored a sixer hitting it out of the park with his acting and comic timing.
Cinema in India revolves around three major elements – an A-list actor, his larger-than-life heroic act and a happy ending for everyone. But what happens to the sidekick? Don't you think that a second fiddle is a reason the lead man is able to woo a girl, fight the baddies and end up living the tale? But does he even get an ending? At least Pappi from Tanu Weds Manu Returns didn't.
Actor Deepak Dobriyal, who played Pappi in Tanu Weds Manu franchise, scored a sixer hitting it out of the park with his chops. He has conveniently stolen the thunder even with lead star R. Madhavan and Jimmy Sheirgill in the frame. But his life revolved around that of Manu Bhaiyya, and the Noida ki dukaan of course. But what I deeply wish is to see if how Pappi Bhaisaab met the Sharma family and escalated to becoming their second son. My answers and your dose of endless laughter can be guaranteed only with a spin-off. But for those who need more convincing, here are 5 reasons why we hope the makers consider giving Pappi his shining moment with a standalone film:
1. Pappi Ji has a spot-on comic timing!
His idea of happiness is binge-eating garama garam samosas with a sumptuous spread of tomato ketchup over it – kaafi dilchasp! Moreover, he thinks Delhi's pollution has worsened because of the increasing number of lovers and doesn't waste a 60,000 INR London ticket just to get his brother out of a mental asylum. Pappi Bhaisaab is hands down one of the most interesting characters to ever feature on the 70mm.
2. Pappi is a sidekick like no other, even Manu Sharma would agree.
Right or wrong, Pappi stands by Manu through thick and through thin. Even when he falls in love with the bade daat wali Bhabhi aka Datto or decides to marry Raja Awasthi's girl once again. No matter what he is never bitter – even when Komal rejects him. You've got to love his confidence though – LOLs translate into Love for this Delhi boy!
3. Pappi's idea of love is, well, extra emojis on WhatsApp jokes!
In Tanu Weds Manu Returns we only get to see how Pappi is hell bent on marrying Komal, Manu's BFF Jassi's cousin. He presumes from her replies to his jokes that she loves him back. But how did this meeting happen? It would be interesting to have an insight into the not-so-romantic tale of Pappi and Komal.
4. How did Pappi meet the Sharma family?
Pappi is like Manu's younger sibling. But he is not shown to have a family of his own. So, was he an orphan? Or did he abandon his parents for the Sharmas – he is undeniably quite capable of doing so FYI. How Pappi came into the lives of Manu and his parents is a laughter riot we'd all love to be a part of!
5. The secret to Pappi's hilarious and bang on one-liners…
I mean, is it even possible? For someone to possess this impeccably high and unparalleled sense of humour? Like every word out of his mouth can leave you in splits. What are your thoughts about Pappiji, and do you think he deserve a separate movie? Comment in the box below and let us know.

For howler, who'd been feeling vaguely out of sorts, these stuffed Indian flatbreads were just what the doctor ordered. "I could walk. I could SEE," he testifies. "Go now and get yourself some."
Active ingredients–besides wheat flour, corn oil, and a good measure of spice–include aloo (potato), mooli (radish), or gobi (cauliflower), among others. Warm them on a skillet till slightly crisp, and eat them with yogurt, Indian pickle, dal, or kachumbar (a relish of tomato, onion, cilantro, chile, and lime juice). Or just by themselves.
howler's restorative came from a Patel Brothers store in Floral Park. Delicious Foods' paratha has also been sighted at the Subzi Mandi stores and, in Manhattan's Curry Hill, at Little India Store.
