Firefox sports major facelift, improved Sync tool
Mozilla has released Firefox 29.0 FINAL for desktop, with Firefox for Android 29.0 also due for release shortly. Version 29 is a landmark release, sporting a major redesign of the program interface.
It also debuts a vastly improved -- and simpler -- Firefox Sync function using accounts, finalizes and enables the Gamepad API and offers a new interactive new tour to help step users through the new user interface.
The new user interface, codenamed Australis, has been in development for a long time, but has progressed smoothly through testing since first appearing in the Aurora build of Firefox 29. Windows users will notice the Firefox button has been dropped in favor of a platform-wide menu button accessible to the right of the main toolbar.
The new design also sports a new curved -- and slimmed down -- tab design, with an emphasis more firmly placed on the currently selected tab. Background tabs now fade more into the background, although rolling the mouse over one will make it more visible.
The new menu button is the same ≡ button found in rival browser Chrome, but aside from that and its positioning, the similarities between the two end. Firefox 29 adopts a clickable button-based menu that is also fully customizable, allowing users to drag rarely used add-ons off the main toolbar and on to the menu to keep them accessible, but less visible. The toolbar itself gains two new buttons for more easily adding and managing bookmarks.
Mindful of this major interface change, Firefox 29 launches with a first-run dialog that will step users through the new changes, and makes it clear how to both access and manage these new features.
Version 29 is also notable for overhauling the Firefox Sync function. It's now account-based, making it far easier for users to sync settings, bookmarks, history, tabs and add-ons between different machines.
The new release also finalizes and enables the Gamepad API, which has been present (but disabled) since version 24. The API makes it possible to play games through Firefox using a traditional console game controller.
One change is that navigator.plugins can no longer be enumerated -- this basically improves user privacy by preventing websites from getting a full list of installed plug-ins. Users will also find clicking on a W3C Web Notification will now switch back to the originating tab.
There are a number of tweaks for developers, from the implementation of the "box-sizing" control to the enabling of SharedWorker by default. The Add-on bar has also been removed, with its content now incorporated into the main developer navigation bar.
One issue with text rendering on Windows 7 and 8.1 remains unresolved, with users directed here for a workaround.
Mozilla is also due to release Firefox 29 for Android shortly. Changes include a Bing search plugin, support for Firefox Sync accounts, new quick share buttons, better integration for Open Web apps, plus the ability to both set a default home panel as well as hide and show panels.
Firefox 29.0 FINAL for Windows, Mac and Linux is available now as a free, open-source download. Firefox for Android 29.0 should be available shortly.

Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon exhibited his defensive prowess Monday evening and saved a man from injury in an accident that occurred while he addressed an election rally in Beit Shemesh.
As Danon spoke, an overzealous photographer in search of a better angle misstepped and nearly fell headfirst off the stage. Danon's instincts kicked in and he (literally) singlehandedly saved the photographer, who in turn held on to his equipment and saved it, too.
The event was captured on camera by another photographer, Yaakov Lederman. Lederman told Arutz Sheva that he believes the photographer who fell was unhurt and that he continued to take pictures a short time after the mishap.
Beit Shemesh will go back to the polls on March 11, 2014, in the wakeof allegations of widespread fraud in the previous vote. Police arrested several men on elections day who had hundreds of ID cards that were not their own, and residents of the city have alleged other elections-day irregularities as well.
Supporters of incumbent mayor Moshe Abutbul of the hareidi Shas party, who won the original elections by roughly 950 votes, have accused the Supreme Court of calling for a revote for political reasons. They argue that the alleged fraud was not on a scale that could have affected the outcome of the vote.

I have a sister-in-law who is a vegetarian and I came across this verse in Romans 14 that had me worried about her. It said:
"One persons faith allows them to eat anything, but another, WHOSE FAITH IS WEAK, eats only vegetables."
I knew there was something wrong about being a vegetarian! Just a bunch of weak faithed people that turn down Zaxby's chicken fingers for no reason at all and then choose to eat wasabi peas or chips that look like vegetables. I don't think I would survive without Zaxby's chicken fingers in my life…and we don't even need to get started on bacon. Bacon should not be left out of anything. It makes sense why their faith is weak…
Well…Paul had more to say in Romans 14. The next verse says:
"The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them."
God has accepted vegetarians…so we should too.
There are certain things in the Bible that are clearly forbidden (murder, adultery, homosexuality, theft, idolatry), but we need to be careful not to create our own rules and then make them equal with God's word.
Let me explain…there are certain situations I do not put myself in because I would leave with a guilty conscience and I would not feel like I was obeying God. It could be an area I struggled with in my past that I want to stay clear of. That is fine…I am listening to what God is telling ME and showing ME in MY life. But I can't take that scenario and condemn others who choose to enjoy their freedom in that area. It might not be an area of temptation in their life.
"Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another." Romans 14:13
Just as I can't make my friends or family live by my rules…I need to be weary of those areas of concern in their lives. If my actions are putting them in uncomfortable situations I need to be aware of that. We are all strong in some areas and weak in others…but we must be aware of how that is affecting those around us.
"If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love." Romans 14:15
The Bible does not tell us we can't ever drink a beer, but if we are around an alcoholic or someone who struggles in that area, out of love for them we probably shouldn't hit the bar scene. By doing that we would be turning something that we see as harmless in our eyes and using it as evil.
"Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall." Romans 14:20-21
Our relationship with God is a "personal relationship" that we learn in and grow in everyday. The Bible is clear on many things we should stay clear of, but it is also very clear that we are called to love others. Part of loving others is honoring the things in their life that cause them conviction. Christ died on a cross so that we could live a life of freedom. Do not be a stumbling block in the life of those around you. Love them and bring unity to your community through the way you love them. We have to do this life together and we have to love each other in the best way possible.
As far as it goes for vegetarians…that is between them and God.


text: I love getting together with the HB Car Club to check out their weekly HB Cars & Cruisin'. A great way to spend a Wednesday night. It all starts at The Detailing Pros in Huntington Beach before heading down to Main Street. This was by far the largest group of cars and people I have seen at the cruise so far. It just seems to keep growing. Put it on the list my friends, this is a great cruise to go check out.

"Excellent folks and very knowledgeable" – Jason Sowles, 5 star rating on Google
"When we began building our new home, we were interested in using rain water as our water source. We had little knowledge on how to properly harvest and utilize rain water. However, we were very fortunate to learn of KarSare Systems through a couple of KarSare's extremely happy clients. KarSare installed a charcoal filter, fiber filter, uv light filter, and roof washers in September of 2007. They also have maintained our cistern and water filtration system over the years until the present. We could not be happier with their professionalism, knowledge, advise, and honesty. Moreover, all persons involved with this company, especially Mike, Shannon, and Lisa, have been most kind and gone out of his or her way to help. We highly recommend KarSare without any reservations. We simply cannot say enough good about this wonderful company and we do not know what we would have done without their excellent specialty services. " – Danny and Libby, Nicholasville KY

Author's Note: We all know and love Wargrave for his lovely master plot that gave us And Then There Were None... but what if things were different? What if the last little Indian boy had indeed been the killer? Why would Vera of all people be the murderer? Let's find out...
P.S. I'm more familiar with the play than with the actual book, having done the play at my school, so if I make some play-book switch errors, forgive me.
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters, settings, or plotlines of And Then There Were None, those are Agatha Christie's. I do wonder if I own my own plot twist... probably not.
~Vera Elizabeth Claythorne~
"That felt good," Vera admitted, bringing down the gun.
She dragged the bodies up to the steps of the house—first Armstrong's, then Blore's, the Lombard's, gazing into his eyes for only a moment... Vera cackled, feeling no pang of sympathy. Lombard had been an idiot. To trust her, to have feelings for her, to think that they loved each other... Hugo had been the only one she would ever love.
Vera ran her fingers through her long hair, disheveling it. My ten little Indians rhyme! My rhyme! She was the only one on the island, she no longer had to keep up her "lovely, frightened, innocent, and sane" pretense.. She was free to be herself—a murderess.
She was almost proud of it, being a murderess. True, she once was that lovely, innocent girl. But once she saw Cyril's coffin slamming shut, something in her snapped. She held power when she murdered the boy—just by a few mere words, she had ended someone's world. She found she had liked being guilty of that, but no one understood it. Her sister had fainted, her mother had ordered her out of the house, and Hugo had abandoned her...all because Vera had said it. Vera had said, "I'm a murderess. I killed Cyril, and I enjoyed it. Help me, please-" She had still been partially that sane, frightened girl then, deep in her heart. No one would listen, no one would try to help her make sense of this all... She's a cold brutal murderess, they must have thought. They all lingered on She killed, and she enjoyed it. No one even heard the Help me! And now, it was too late. Now, it had come to this...
There was much blood on Vera's hands and streaked through her hair, immediately pointing to her as the guilty one. "So be it!" she laughed. "Let everyone know what I have become. Ten people are dead because of Vera Elizabeth Claythorne!" Her bloodied hands clenched into fists, then opened long enough to snatch the rope on the table, looping and knotting it into a noose as she muttered, "One little Indian, left all alone; He went and hanged himself, and then there were none."
Dragging the rope behind her, she marched up the stairs, still muttering to herself. These killings had been very different from Cyril's. Cyril's had seemed... simpler, somehow. All it had taken was a few words, and he was swimming... the current had done the rest. These were nine carefully-plotted killings, done with her own hands. The fact that nearly all the others were guilty of murder was a minor detail... to build up suspense... to see if they would admit that they enjoyed it, too... common ground before she killed them off. This experiment required nerves, suspense, terror building up. They were done according to a gruesome children's rhyme, one she had read to Cyril once and then several times again alone, for enjoyment. The sense of inevitability—no one can escape murder—also, Cyril's drowning had been for a reason, to marry Hugo. Now, Hugo was gone... These murders were pure killing drive, with no reason but so she could feel that sense of power again...
Vera opened her bedroom door and walked in, and then her eyes widened.
It was him. Standing at the back of the room, behind the chair that she had set up earlier for this moment. He was wearing that same horrified expression that he had worn when she had told him the facts of Cyril's drowning—horrified, disgusted, and morose. "Vera," he said in a pained voice.
"Hugo," she breathed. "Hugo, I love you."
Hugo stepped back. "Vera—what you did—you're-"
Vera shrieked, and flew across the room, jumping on top of the chair. "Hugo, love me! Pity me!"
"Vera, you murdered!" he stuttered.
"You drove me to this!" she hollered, swinging the rope wildly. "You—you don't understand! None of you ever understood! You all abandoned me—left me alone with my murdering instincts-"
"You're a murderess, Vera," Hugo repeated.
"I am, I am! A child murderess, a serial murderess—all because of you!"
"Why can't I swim out to the rock, Miss Claythorne?" Cyril was standing beside Hugo, looking ghostly pale, somehow guiding Vera's hand as she knotted the rope to the beam.
"You can—go to the rock, Cyril," she said, closing her eyes.
"The Lord is known by the judgement He executeth, the wicked is snared in the work of his own hand," Emily Brent, almost jeering, said. "The wicked shall be turned into Hell."
"You—young, lovely, and quite, quite mad." That was Captain Lombard in a slightly amused tone of voice.
"Leave me, you're gone!" Vera screamed. "I made sure of that!"
"Oh, yes, I've no doubt in my own mind that we have been invited here by a madman—probably a dangerous homicidal lunatic," Justice Wargrave, voice calm and powerful, declared. He tossed the noose over Vera's neck.
She shrieked again with laughter. "I killed you—all of you—you're dead!"
"Prisoner at the bar, have you anything to say in your defense?"
"Vera, you murdered!" her former lover cried out.
"Somebody, please, help me-" Vera whispered before ending her own world, and it all faded into blackness.

Not Again!
Yes, once again I'm laid up in bed. It's a damned nuisance as it puts all my plans back. Even more annoying is that it has meant that I was unable to meet with Robert, an online mate who is over from Canada. It's amazing how the internet creates friendships among people who have never met. I've some fantastic online friends who never fail to amaze me with their generosity. Robert is one of them. I won't embarrass him by telling you exactly how generous he is!
As you'll guess, very little has happened in the curing/sausage-making department. The only thing that we've managed to do is make some smoked back bacon. I would not normally mention it because it's one of those things that when you've already posted the recipe etc there's not much left to say. However, on this occasion things are slightly different as the meat is a cheap loin from the local wholesaler, it's just a larger version of what's sold in the supermarket - it was cured in a 'normal' food grade plastic bag rather than vacuum packed and it was smoked in a kettle barbecue as there's no door on my smoker at the moment.
The resulting bacon is still better than the supermarket's and had I not wanted it smoked, no special equipment would have been involved. As it is, the cold smoke generator that you can see in the barbecue only costs around £30 - it's a fantastic piece of kit, one of my best buys. It shows that there's no excuse for not having decent bacon. Make your own bacon, you'll get none of the horrible liquid in your pan that supermarket bacon produces and, like for like, it's often cheaper. If you don't feel confident to make it from scratch, you can always use one of these ready mixed cures.
There is one comment
Glad to know the recipes arrive ok, will have to try harder next time to meat, take care and stay well my friend
I'm somewhat incapacitated at present so replies may take some time. Please post urgent enquiries at the www.sausagemaking.org forum.

Signs of bed bugs
Bed bugs hide during daytime but leave behind several tell-tale signs of their presence. Find out about signs and where to look for their hiding places.

One of the biggest fears of travellers is waking up in a hotel bed with the tell-tale bites and droplets of blood on the sheets! They are also an increasing problem in student accommodation, care homes and apartments.

Club news
Devon County Champs, Torbay & North Devon Halfs & More
26th June 2017
Over the last week Okehampton Running Club members took part in a variety of races on three different terrains and also in a mixture of weather conditions.
On Wednesday June 21st Roger Voaden celebrated the longest day by winning the gold medal for the Vet 50 age group in the Devon County Championships 10,000m held on the track at Tavistock. He completed the race in 38:45.13, despite the extreme heat.
On the morning of Saturday June 24th a group of ORCs went to the Tamar Lakes parkrun. The runners were pleased that it was noticeably cooler than earlier in the week, with misty and slightly windy conditions. Chris Turner was first home and an excellent 3rd place overall in 19:08. He was followed by John Binns in 22:49, Jackie Dawes (3rd W45-49) in 24:47, Mags Jarvis (1 st W60-64) in 26:49. Geoff Hill ran with his daughter Shelby who achieved a new PB for the course and was the 1st girl aged 10 years in 32:52. Jackie and Chris also ran PB's for the course.
On Sunday 25th there were two events that ORCs took part in. These were the Torbay Half Marathon and the North Devon Half Marathon. The Torbay Half Marathon got underway in cloudy conditions. The race followed a route along Torbay road from Paignton Green to Torquay and back, with a second lap before the finish just past Paignton Pier. The ORC runners found the course tough going but still did themselves proud. First home was Geoff Hill in 1:26:34 which was very close to his personal best and clearly the parkrun on the previous day was very beneficial! Ray Lawrence was 2nd ORC to finish with a time of 1:32:10. Mike Westland was delighted with his time of 1:58:35 as he was severely troubled by a knee problem in the second half of the race. Lora Medland finished in 2:05:41, just outside the time she achieved last year.
Tracey Mills, Katy Speak and Carole Cornwall took part in the North Devon Half Marathon which has quickly established itself as one of the most challenging and visually stunning events in the UK. It took place in the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, starting and finishing at Woolacombe.
The first 7 miles of the race was along the North Devon Coast path and it included running across the length of Croyde Beach. Here the race started in misty rain but finished in bright sunshine. Tracey was first to finish in 2:36:54 followed by Carole in 2:41:09 and Katy in 2:41:11, all very good times considering the difficulty of the route.
Many thanks to Mags for the run report.
Bude Lifeboat Run & Burrator Horseshoe
21st June 2017
With the weather suddenly deciding it really was summer after all, runners in this week's races found the running conditions pretty hot. On Wednesday the Bude Lifeboat Run was held on a beautiful sunny evening and sixteen ORCs took part in what has become a hugely popular event. The challenging, but not too tough course, the fantastic scenery and the lovely family atmosphere means people come back year after year to take part in this race which is preceded by a junior race that is equally popular. This year a slight change in the six mile course saw runners set off from the rugby club along the path beside the canal as usual, but there was one new hill to negotiate before the long pull uphill to the top of Whalesborough Farm where the stunning view of the coast and Widemouth Bay takes runners by surprise. From there it is all downhill back to the farm and then a fast flat two miles beside the canal all the way to the finish. Geoff Hill led them out off the rugby pitch and held his lead for some of the way but, with a fast Ruby Run three days earlier still in his legs, he eventually finished 10th in a great time of 37.28. Mervyn Rice was the next ORC home, having a much better run than last year when he was recovering from injury and came home in 44.35, to be 3rd MV60. First ORC lady home, having also done the Ruby Run, was Jo Turner, finishing in 47.32.
Other ORC times; John Binns; 46.41, Karen Vallance; 49.20, Mike Westland; 49.35, Jackie Dawes; 50.54, Tracey Mills; 54.23, Phil Turner; 58.11, Deborah Cunningham; 58.13, Ruth Bushell; 58.34, Jane Richardson; 1.01.35, Jessica Corcoran; 1.05.01, Janet White; 1.05.35, Kerry Morashti; 1.05.38, Claire Sprague; 1.08.48.
The Burrator Horseshoe was held on Saturday in even hotter conditions. As part of the Meavy Oak Fair, this traditional fell race doesn't start until 3.00pm by which time temperatures had soared on a scorching day with only the faintest breeze. The course takes runners out from Meavy in a loop that takes in Burrator Reservoir, Sheepstor, Gutter Tor, Ringmoor Down and returns to the village via Meavy River Ford. Two ORCs, Rob Hicks and Paul Crease, took part and certainly did the club proud by finishing in second and third places. Rob finished in 46.26, just nine seconds ahead of Paul in 46.35, who was back running on his preferred ground of Dartmoor, after a brief diversion to road running for the Ruby Run Half Marathon the previous week where he had taken second place.
Many thanks to Jane for the run report.
Ruby Run & Awards Evening
12th June 2017
We had a very successful day at the Ruby Run last Sunday! This half marathon follows a route that runs between Holsworthy and Hatherleigh, with the start and finish alternating each year. This year's Ruby Run started in Hatherleigh and this is regarded as the tougher direction with more uphill and a harder second half. The steep hill leading into Holsworthy square from Coles Mill is a really testing finish at the end of a long hilly race too.
Okehampton had a good turnout, most of them running the full race, but a few being part of a relay team. Paul Crease, not normally a road runner and more usually to be found running on Dartmoor, put in an outstanding performance to come second overall in a time of 1.24.58, obviously relishing the hilly route. Geoff Hill was the next ORC home in 6th place, storming up the final hill to finish in 1.28.20.
Not too far behind was Graham Bryant with a terrific run to finish in 1.31.35 and come 10th, just a week after completing the Dartmoor Discovery Ultra Marathon. Chris Turner was the fourth ORC home in 11th place in 1.33.10 and these four made up Okehampton's team, winning the newly presented Dartington Glass Affiliated Club Trophy for the highest placed club with four runners home. Geoff Hill also took the prize for the First Local Male home. ORC runners were dominating the finish line by this time with Andy Vernon the next home (1.37.05), followed by George Haskell (1.38.08), and Ed Dumpleton (1.40.35), hitting his target time and setting a new PB in only his second half marathon and only nine months since he started running. John Binns was next (1.48.14) and then the first of the four ORC ladies, Jo Turner and Karen Vallance who ran the race together (1.59.49), followed by Deborah Cunningham (2.14.55), Rachael Haydon (2.16.44) and Alan Luffingham (2.18.23), who has run every Ruby Run since it first started in 2003. Kerry Tyler and Suzanne Gratton also ran together and finished in 2.36.50.
On Friday we held our annual Awards Evening at Okehampton Golf Club. This is a celebration of members achievements throughout the year and trophies are awarded for outstanding performances in different categories. Certificates are also awarded, covering six different distances raced by members and with different levels of award. This year eight runners managed to complete every distance from one mile to marathon; Lucy Brint, Jackie Dawes, Claire Stanbury, Nicola Smith, Andy Vallance, Rob Kelly, Chris Turner and Stuart May.
The Annual Awards as voted for by the members were;
Highest Achiever Female; Mags Jarvis.
Highest Achiever Male; Roger Voaden.
Most Improved Female; Becca Ewing.
Most Improved Male; Mark Hawkins.
Best Newcomer; Ed Dumpleton.
Hardest Trainer Female; Nicola Smith.
Hardest Trainer Male; Rob Kelly.
Coach of the Year Female; Charlotte Radnor.
Coach of the Year Male; Chris Aylen.
Member of the Year; Jane Jackson.
The Marilyn Cooper Memorial Trophy, which was presented to the club last year by Paul Cooper in memory of his wife Marilyn who sadly died last March is not voted for, but is presented to the lady runner who has raced the most miles in one year. This was won by Caroline Wilson, having clocked up 198 miles of racing throughout the year.
Many thanks to Jane for the run report
Dartmoor Discovery
5th June 2017
At the Dartmoor Discovery last Sunday four Okehampton Runners took on the infamous hills of this 32 mile road ultra marathon. For three of them this was a return visit to a course they had all raced before, but for one this was a new venture into ultra marathon running. The race starts in Princetown and follows a single lap course through Dartmeet, Poundsgate, Widecombe in the Moor,and Postbridge before making its way back to the finish in Princetown. On a good day the countryside is beautiful with stunning scenery, but the hills are relentless, especially in the second half of the course. Rob Kelly loves this race and was first ORC home in a terrific time of 4.31.32, an improvement of nearly 12 minutes on his previous record for the course. Just one person sepa-rated him from Roger Voaden, the next ORC back, finishing in 4.34.21 and behind him was Paul Carter in 4.35.52. For Graham Bryant this was completely new territory, having never run an ultra marathon before, and although he found it tough he put in a great performance to come home in 5.04.44.
Many thanks to Jane Jackson for the report

What Does Your Brand Sound Like?
Jamie Irvine -Posted on 0
Written by Jamie Irvine | 3-minute read
"Alexa, order me new jeans."
"Google, schedule me a haircut for next Wednesday between 10 am and 12 pm."
If you are a senior executive or a business owner I would like you to contemplate something that GaryVee asked at VoiceCon 2018; "what does your brand sound like?"
This is the future, VOICE is the biggest thing since the internet and social and the impact on users and businesses is so big none of us really understand how much it is going to fundamentally change our lives and the way we do business.
What does your brand sound like?
It's a really good question. For decades we have had to consider what our brand visually looks like but we have never had to consider what it sounds like.
Is it male or female?
Does it have an American, Australian, British, Chinese, German, Indian, or Spanish accent? What about a Canadian accent, eh?
When you start to think about what your brand sounds like you begin to realize how enormous the implications of VOICE really are and you start to appreciate how VOICE will force all of us to question what our business is all about all over again.
"What strategy are you employing now to ensure that your VEO works properly?" – Jamie Irvine
No that isn't a typo, I didn't mean to type SEO (Search Engine Optimization), VEO is Voice Engine Optimization and whether that is what they end up calling it or not, every business is going to need to optimize everything they do online for VOICE.
In the past, if you ranked well for certain keywords your website got onto the top page of Google and that was very good for business. Then Google AdWords came along and if you paid the most your ads were seen first. Social Media platforms changed the way we do business and incorporated their own advertising programs.
Very soon Google and Amazon will announce that they have a new way for businesses to compete for Voice Search Results. That is when everything for business will begin to rapidly change and the fortunes made and lost will be staggering.
Think about it.
When someone orders a pair of "jeans" on Amazon or Google what kind of jeans will you be buying? If you specify a brand that is what you will get but if you don't you will be sent a white label brand that is owned by Google or Amazon.
That is in the direct consumer space but B2B is going to be affected as well.
Let's say you are a distributor of Commercial Vehicle Parts and you are looking for a new supplier. Your procurement department uses VOICE to search for potential suppliers.
If you are a smaller player but have done your job correctly with VEO (Voice Engine Optimization) you will be on the top of the list and will get an opportunity to bid on supplying those parts where just a few years ago you wouldn't stand a chance.
Trust me, huge amounts of wealth are going to be redistributed very soon with this new technology. Companies like Google, Amazon, and most likely Facebook are going to be the first layer and will make the most money. But, intelligent business owners who employ a VOICE strategy early will be able to capture huge amounts of market share and outperform their competition.
Very soon websites and social are no longer going to be the minimum barrier to entry to do business. VOICE is going to need to be integrated into every digital product from websites to social to apps and even devices and technology that has not yet been released but will become a part of us as like our smart phones are a part of us today.
Imagine having a shower and saying to your shower head, "Google Assistant, add pick up cake to my to do list for tomorrow and schedule an appointment with the CEO of XYZ company to discuss distribution opportunity."
Voice is going to change everything and as business owners and senior executives if you are not at least contemplating how to integrate VOICE into your business model you are going to get buried by competitors who are going to leverage VOICE in ways that will have not yet emerged but will crush you into bankruptcy if you don't react fast enough.
If you are wondering how to get started I recommend that you at the very minimum authorize the development of a podcast for your business in the next 12-months and start testing what your business and its brand sounds like.
Irvine Media Group specializes in podcasts for the B2B Industry. Contact Jamie Irvine today to talk about a strategy for your business.

Canada's income gap is among the fastest growing in the developed world, a new report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development report has found.
The top 1% in Canada captured 37% of the overall income growth in the last three decades. Only the United States has a worse record, whose wealthy plutocrats took 47% of the total income growth in the same period.
The OECD explains that "changes in tax policies have contributed to the rise in top incomes and may have also driven the change in compensation practices in turn."
And the solution to this growing income gap, says the OECD report, is for governments to implement tax reforms by "changing tax rules for top income recipients," including raising the marginal tax rate on top earners, "abolishing or scaling back" tax credits and loopholes (such as stock options), and developing policies to increase transparency and reduce international tax avoidance.
Here's how the The Wall Street Journal summed it up:
"OECD calls for tax overhaul to tackle income inequality: Research body says very rich should pay more tax"

Welcome to your one-way ticket to the future of sustainable air travel.
Envision-awarded airports around the country are looking to the future to save you time and money.
The Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure – an organization cofounded by ASCE in 2011 – developed the Envision rating system to measure sustainable infrastructure projects.
Here are four future-minded sustainable airport approaches:
1. Renewable Energy Approach
The Water Source Geothermal project, implemented at the Nashville (TN) International Airport, earned an Envision Silver award for its closed-loop system that solves the cooling requirements of the airport's terminal building.
The project uses a quarry lake to chill water through lake-plate heat exchangers. Through this system, the airport saves more than 21.1 million gallons of potable water used in the airport's cooling towers and expects more than $430,000 in electricity cost savings.
Also, by harvesting the rainwater that collects in the quarry and pumping it into the irrigation system, the project saves more than 13.1 million additional gallons of potable water used for irrigation.
The Water Source Geothermal project will significantly reduce the airport's dependency on its natural-gas fired boilers, which use on average 39,700 therms of natural gas per month. Emissions associated with the use of these boilers is significant, but the Water Source Geothermal project will reduce emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, particulate matter of both 10 and 2.5 micrometers or less in diameter, sulfur dioxide, and volatile organic compounds – all of which contribute to poor air quality.
2. Efficiency Approach
The Providence's Runway 5 Extension at T.F. Green Airport project, an Envision Gold winner, lengthened the T.F. Green's main runway to 8,700 feet as part of a multiyear program to better accommodate aviation activity demand and enhance safety areas.
The extension improves flight efficiency through increased payloads and reduced weight penalties, while also accommodating long-haul service to the West Coast.
The project requires 34 percent less energy, resulting from design plans focused on resource conservation and reduced maintenance as key objectives. The project also features extensive LED lighting, and the design team evaluated lighting cables to determine that replacements could avoid disruption in aircraft activities.
The reduction in required pavement for the project also helped better manage stormwater.
3. Recycle-Everything Approach
The Detroit Metropolitan Airport's Runway and Associated Taxiways Reconstruction project, an Envision Silver winner, involves reconstructing an associated taxiway system that encompasses 6.5 miles of airfield pavement. The result is a safer connection for aircraft from the runway to the passenger terminals at the Detroit Metro Airport.
To reduce resource consumption, the project installed LED lighting and signage, reused stormwater for dust control (10 million-plus gallons of recycled water to date), and reused excavated materials, both on the project and in locations west of the runway, to balance the site and minimize maintenance needs. In addition, the contractor brought a concrete crusher on site to enable efficient pulverizing of materials for use on other projects.
The Runway and Taxiways Reconstruction project went beyond compliance with environmental regulations during construction by reducing existing impervious surfaces at the site, thus presenting long-term benefits to the ecological conditions on the airport. By minimizing the amount of pavement, stormwater runoff and the associated water quality impacts will decrease. This also minimizes future maintenance costs and the need for virgin materials.
4. Community Stimulus Approach
The San Diego International Airport's Green Build landside project became the first airport to earn an Envision rating. The Platinum award winner responds to community needs that provide for current and future demand for travel, while increasing customer service and serving as an economic stimulus for the San Diego region.
The project increases the quality of existing, operating, and recreational capacity for the public, while improving customer experience by providing 10 new aircraft gates, a dual-level roadway that separates arriving and departing passengers, more security lanes, and an expanded concession area.
At peak construction, the project created approximately 1,000 jobs, and with total economic impacts to include an estimated nearly 5,000 jobs over the course of the project.
The Airport Authority's small-business outreach program generated more than $415 million in contracts for local businesses – with $118 million going to small businesses – which in turn boosted local employment, training, and education, particularly among needy or disadvantaged groups.

Detectives say the victim, 48-year-old Joey Telles, was shot Friday around 8:30 p.m. on the 12000 block of Bonavista Lane. According to Sheriff's deputies, Telles was talking on the phone while standing in the front yard of his home when he was shot multiple times in the torso and pronounced dead at the scene.
Telles was gunned down almost two months to the day his 71-year-old father, Joseph Telles, was shot and killed outside his Whittier home on Placid Drive. According to authorities, Joseph Telles was shot on Aug. 24 while showing an SUV he was trying to sell to a potential buyer.
County supervisors offered a $10,000 reward in Joseph Telles case but his murder remains unsolved.
Family members say they have no idea why either of them were murdered and are pleading for the public's help.
"Somebody had to see something," said the victim's cousin Georgi Ortega. "Please help our family find this person, these people who have done this injustice to our family by taking his father and then him. There's no reason for it."
Investigators found a handgun on Joey Telles, but no other details are being released. According to neighbors, Telles owned a handgun to protect his mother who also lived in the home on Bonavista Lane.
So far, investigators have not determined a motive as to why the father and son were targeted.
Telles leaves behind a wife and four children.
Anyone with any information on either murder is urged to call Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.

The children enjoyed cutting and sticking and painting activities to make their own poppies. Some wore their own poppies, others noticed those the staff and other adults were wearing. On 11th November, at group time we talked about why we wear poppies and completed a minute silence surprisingly successfully (considering there were 6 children under 3!).
The following Friday we followed up the children's interest in Remembrance Day with a walk to the church to see the wreaths that had been laid.
Then we all went into the church to have a good look around.
On our way back to nursery we went for a run around in the field next to the Brake Pool. We were able to take children of all ages and once out of their buggies, our one year olds were keen to try and keep up with the older children...
... although finding a stick proved a big diversion, then they were gone!!

I could not omit Hollis Tibbetts' BLOG "Cloud should be "top down", SaaS "bottom up"? Huh?" because it reflects on the idea of Cloud adoption top to bottom.
It is not clear, however, from this BLOG or from the referred article of David Linchicum who is responsible at the top for making a corporate strategy for adopting Clouds, and SaaS particularly. Yes, as Hollis says, "Anybody with $25 to spend and 15 free minutes can create another new data silo for their corporation". Moreover, we hear more and more frequently that this "Anybody" is a Business Unit (BU) and the decision is made within the Line of Business and without considering IT involvement. Following Hollis, "Central IT (as a general category) has failed us here - and for the most part are still way behind the curve."
So, we are getting into a situation where an enterprise business agrees with decentralised IT capabilities owned by different BU. This business, probably, does not understand yet that separated SaaS solutions will need an integration sooner or later and this will cost additional money but there are no principle objections on this extra cost.
An acceptance of this overall picture illuminates the major mindset shift in an enterprise concept and organisation. From our previous experience, we know that if there would not be something with more power than just a corporate policy of control over Cloud engagement, i.e. something that would enforce his policy, the company with such Cloud-exposed BUs is looking for troubles of disbalance, efforts and product duplication, waste of resources and the inability to operate as a single unit in the market. We were in a similar situation about 20 years go already but with different vendors than Cloud ones.
In the book "Architects Know What Managers Don't" I offer the solution for these problems - both the split of IT and centralised coordinating mechanism that kerbs selfish BUs and preserves integral corporate interests other any others. However, the principal difference from the nowadays situation is in that in my model there are no hierarchical administrative structures in the enterprise and the IT resources are distributed not per product or geographic locations. Instead, the book describes a four-part organisational model of an enterprise based on functional Business Architecture.
The model includes: a C-executive level, a Cross-Functional Cross-Divisional Management Unit (CFCDMU), a family of semi-independent BUs, each of which provides certain business function or service, and a realm of compositions of business functions/services that may form enterprise products and/or services, external and internal. Each BU (representing a Business Service) manages its on IT resource while there are shared IT resources under the supervision of the CFCDMU [Business Architecture and Enterprise Technical Architecture belong to the CFCDMU]. Regardless how much or little money a BU has earned, the CFCDMU controls all resources to be spent on the transformation of the functional landscape of the company in transition to the strategic goals. Details of the Business Architecture that such organisation implements are described in the book.

Blackberry Smoke tells everyone that they are too country for rock and to rock for country, and that was on full display Saturday night as they tore up the Upstate Concert Hall. Lead vocalist and guitarist Charlie Starr, Bassist Richard Turner, drummer Brit Turner, guitarist Paul Jackson and Brandon Still on keyboards ripped through a set that contained songs from their long 16-year career.
Capping off a weekend of headlining shows after opening up for the legendary Govt. Mule all summer Blackberry Smoke proved to everyone in attendance that they deserve to be in a headlining spot. They are one of the tightest live bands this writer has seen with everyone on the band playing off of and complimenting each other to the fullest. Blackberry Smoke seamlessly blends Southern Rock, Country, Hard Rock and Jam music into their own style and they did it to near perfection. Starr's vocals live are just as smooth as they are on a recording.
Mid-way through the show there was a distinct sticky smell in the air near the front of the stage which led to Charlie Starr to make a new impromptu song which he called "Front Row Reefer", which was basically an ode to the best reefer being in the front of the house and the skunk was in the back. After riffing on the new song he asked the crowd if anyone got that on video. Maybe the cut will make the next album.
Blackberry Smoke play their music their way and have not changed that thinking over their long career, and it now seems people are finally starting to take notice. They have gone from a bar band to a band that is capable of headlining arenas, and this writer for one hopes that more people take the time to listen to them and appreciate one of the truly great modern bands that is keeping the rock and roll spirit alive.
Opening the show was Philadelphia's Stolen Rhodes whose brand of Southern rock got the packed crowd heated up.
Blackberry Smoke are on tour supporting their upcoming new release "Like an Arrow" which is slated to be released on October 14, 2016.

It's that time of year again! The time where we all pretend to start afresh with a clean slate, our hopes as high as the level of intoxication we're still at after a wild New Year's Eve. JUST KIDDING. My evening consisted of my yearly scheduled existential crisis and crying while watching Brooklyn 99 because of how overtired I am. YAY FOR THE NEW YEAR!
But everyone knows that the start of a new year is the time to make goals and resolutions, because goals you make at any other time of the year don't count, right? There's no motivation quite like seeing the date clock over to 1/1/18 when the clock strikes 12 and knowing you have 12 long months to achieve your dreams. Even though time is a manmade concept and the idea of a calendar year is a commercial concept designed to place restrictions upon your life and your worth. WOW, 2018 ME IS A CYNICAL ONE. Watch out, internet.
While everyone is making Goodreads goals, thinking about what they want to achieve this year, and how they can make changes to their life (like eating healthier or exercising more, where they then revert to their original habits six days later… Past Me, I'm looking at you…), I thought I should crush your dreams and tell you all the reasons why your bookish goals are unreasonable!
Just kidding! Sort of.
Here are some examples of unreasonable goals:
Finish all the books on my TBR!
No, Susan. Just no. Take a look at your bookshelves and think about how many unread novels there are. And then take a look at your wishlist full of 2018 releases and tell me you're going to read ALL the books you own, as well as all those shiny new releases. I admire your ability to dream big, but let me tell you just this once that you should give up. Or find the philosopher's stone and become immortal — one or the other.
Limit myself to only buying one book after I read five others!
HAHAHAHA. Yep, good luck with that. Walking into a bookshop and not buying anything is something I will never understand. AND I WORK IN A BOOKSHOP. I honestly think I'd have to stop going into bookshops — and work, for that matter — if I wanted to have any chance at being successful at that read five-buy one thing. And also disconnect my internet, because online bookstores are just as tempting.
Not buy every edition of the books I love!
Well THIS IS JUST ASKING FOR FAILURE. We all do the same thing every year — pledge to spend less money on books, not add too many books to our TBRs, and read the ones we already have. But then a new edition of a book comes out and we do what we always do: 1) Check bank account. 2) Cry. 3) Buy the book anyway. 4) Regret everything. 5) Put the book on your shelf next to all the other pretties and realise that not eating for a week wasn't really that bad after all and yes, of course you can afford the next illustrated Harry Potter edition as well. DON'T PRETEND I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES THIS.
Borrow more books from the library!
This goal isn't THAT hard to achieve, but it's actually the reading of the library books that proves to be difficult for a lot of us. You're asking me to commit to reading a book I selected in four weeks? Are you serious? Do you know that it takes me an average of eight years to read a book I bought? More often than not, those books will sit in a pile on your floor while you read More Important books, then the return date will come along and you'll realise you never even attempted to read them. And don't forget about the judgement when a librarian asks you if you liked the 27 books you're trying to shove in the return slot! JUST… NO. Maybe try limiting the amount of books you borrow at once instead?
Turn into a literal book dragon and fly away from the dumpster fire this world has become!
First of all, I LIKE YOUR STYLE. I'm not even going to tell you that becoming a literal book dragon is an unreasonable goal for 2018. But are you really willing to leave this hellish Earth forever and never return, not even for your most anticipated releases of this year? And the year after? Becoming a dragon isn't even the hard part — it's leaving all your loved ones behind. And by loved ones, of course I mean books. You don't need the loving touch of another human being when you're literally a dragon.
But because I don't REALLY want to be a downer on the second day of January, here's a list of more reasonable 2018 goals for bookworms!
Read books you enjoy, and try not to worry about how many you end up finishing this year.
Try something from a genre you haven't read much from before.
Recommend a book you love to someone.
Support #OwnVoices authors.
Aim to read more diversely.
Take the time to thank authors and tell them you appreciate their work.
What are some of your bookish goals for 2018? Did you make any resolutions last year that you couldn't keep? Do you have similar unreasonable goals to me? What do you hope to achieve this year, reading-wise? I hope you're having an amazing start to 2018!

Asus Unveils Zenfone Max With a Massive 5000mAh Battery
Asus, at the Zenfestival, has launched the Zenfone 2 Deluxe, Zenfone 2 Laser and Zenfone Selfie in India. Apart from this it has also unveiled another smartphone called the Zenfone Max, however, the company has not yet revealed the price of the smartphone and is said to be waiting until October to do so.
They did announce the biggest feature of the Zenfone Max – its 5,000mAh battery, which is said to last for more than a day after a single charge. The battery can reportedly also be used as a power bank to charge other devices.
Other features include, a 5.5-inch display with Gorilla Glass 4 protection, the Snapdragon 410 chipset processor with 2GB RAM. The camera comes with a 13-megapixel f/2.0 aperture at the back and a 5-megapixel selfie camera. In the same category is the Gionee Marathon M4, which comes with the exact same battery capacity.
Are you looking forward to this phone?

1. Catwoman
Yeah, that happened.
Best bring this up early. Catwoman is not only the worst film in the entire DC movie canon, but is also the worst film in the entire superhero movie canon. Even Elektra manages to be the bottom end of mediocre compared to this Halle berry-fronted Razzie hoover with its vile Anne Summers costume design.
This is the only example of the entirety of a film in this list, and that's just to emphasise that no matter how rubbish you think The Dark Knight Rises is, it's got nothing on this turd.
2. Green Lantern's big green race car
Green Lantern at its best was merely as bad as a particularly dull comic, but at its worst was an inane, insulting cartoon.
Its many crimes include flinging Phantom Menace-levels of CGI alien space chickens at its audience, keeping alive the proud tradition of Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer when it came to turning a classic villain into a fog bank, and thinking a tired mid-Nineties-style origin story with traditional hero wins by learning how to hero harder arc would pass muster in the multiplex the same year as X-Men: First Class and Thor.
That's all fairly lame, but nothing is as truly instantly dumb as Ryan Reynolds' Hal Jordan summoning a big green race car in the futile hope that this would impress the film's target audience of seven year-old boys.
3. Bane's stupid voice in The Dark Knight Rises
It was resoundingly mocked when it was in the trailer, and despite alleged attempts to improve Tom Hardy's clarity in post-production, Bane's silly voice still undercut whatever gravitas Christopher Nolan was trying to rinse out of his borderline offensive mess of anti-Occupy rhetoric, reductive female set-dressing and meaningless fan-baiting 'twists' on the canon.
The Dark Knight Rises was long, ugly and pretentious, but its true legacy is a man with a gasmask who sounds funny.
That's sad, isn't it?
4. Arrow's glistening shirtless marketing
It's The CW, so relationships come in triangles and men come shirtless, that's a given, but for Season Two of the network's SciFiNow-approved Green Arrow adaptation, they fed EVERYONE's shirt into the shredder to create the most homoerotic ad campaign since the throbbing pectorals of 300.
There's nothing wrong with a spot of homoeroticism, obviously; it's just that this doesn't really have any connection to the show. It's mainly just Stephen Amell that busts out of his shirt at every opportunity for some pull-ups.
The truth is that Arrow is far too sincere and on-the-nose to even have subtext, let alone homoerotic subtext. Even John Barrowman struggled to make it mucky, and he makes silence suggestive.
5. Man Of Steel's General Zod neck snap
This has been written about a great length elsewhere on this site, and it's pretty telling that apologists for the sterile disaster porn of Man Of Steel are forced to cite a grab-bag of obscure, unrelated issues of Action Comics from the Fifties to explain how there's nothing out of character about the very icon of comic-book heroism snapping the neck of General Zod.
Sorry guys, Man Of Steel was not without its redeeming qualities (mainly Russell Crowe riding a dragonfly), but this scene was the crowning obscenity in a Superman film that truly loathed Superman.
6. Joe Schumacher's Bat-nipples in Batman & Robin
Batman & Robin is loads of fun.
Seriously, it feels more like a comic-book than The Dark Knight Rises by a significant order of magnitude, and unlike Arrow, where the homoeroticism is largely a product of the marketing department dropping too many cans of Relentless at 3am and cackling wildly, it's pretty camp throughout.
However, this is a minority opinion, and Joel Shuchmacher's second Bat-flick is held up as a particular nadir for the character, and the suiting up sequence, with its powerful crotch shots and thrusting Bat-nipples, is a perfect example why nobody should ever be allowed anywhere near this franchise without being forced to read Year One, The Dark Knight Returns and The Long Halloween.
There may be a test afterwards, so take notes.
7. Mr Freeze in Batman & Robin
Along with the knowingly/shriekingly camp tone, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Mr Freeze is another delirious highlight, but we're flying so hard in the fact of consensus with Batman & Robin that we just have to accept that anyone else reading this hates the movie, despises ice-puns and started beating themselves in the temple when he led that wonderful singalong.
It was FABULOUS. NO, YOU SHUT UP.
8. Smallville cheating us out of Superman
After ten years of Clarke Kent learning how to be a hero, Smallville's tenth and final season promised up the moneyshot we'd all been waiting for – its key art showing the shadow of the Man of Steel splayed out behind him, the showrunners promised us pay-off, and then he's given the costume.
Come the finale though and… nothing. Seriously blue balls for Big Blue, and that will never be forgiven.
9. Bat-fleck in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice
Come on, now.
Ben Affleck is now a proven commodity (watch Argo and The Town, then come back), but somehow comic geeks won't ever be able to get past Daredevil. Marvel fans wept tears of joy when he was cast in Batman V Superman, delighted that they had fobbed off one of their own low-points onto their ancient enemy, and DC fans just wept.
Obviously he'll be brilliant, but it's great fun reminding everyone of Gigli.
10. Wonder Woman being reduced to a cameo
This is pretty shameful, and that's why it's coming last – for emphasis.
It's not that Marvel are a shining beacon of opportunity, but while they've at least turned Black Widow into a credible protagonist following her dreary introduction in Iron Man 2, as well as peppering the MCU with the capable and competent likes of Lady Sif and Jane Foster in Thor: The Dark World and Pepper Potts in Iron Man 3, DC will be introducing their most iconic female character (along with their African-American Justice Leaguer, Cyborg) in a glorified cameo.
Not only that, but Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman debut is being written by David S Goyer, who recently shocked fandom with his misogynistic screed against She-Hulk.
It's not surprising, then, that The Dark Knight Rises, Man Of Steel and The Dark Knight barely scraped through the Bechedel Test off the back of one perfunctory exchange each, while Batman Begins totally failed.

If someone was anticipating an amazingly updated PSP, the PSP-3001 isn't it. The supposed updates of GPS, 802.11n, Bluetooth, and a mic were nowhere to be found in the PSP-3001 FCC report.
So after all the hype, it certainly seems the new PSP-3001 is just a simple hardware refresh. Perhaps meant to keep hackers on their toes and challenge them to crack the new hardware. At least we now know there is an update coming sometime soon and I smell an official announcement right around the corner. (or is my neighbor cooking bacon again)

Abstract: The thyroid is one of the metabolism regulating glands. Its function is to determine the amount of calories that the body has to burn to maintain normal weight. Thyroiditides are inflammatory processes that mainly result in autoimmune diseases. We have conducted the present study in order to have a clear picture of both autoimmune status and the control of body weight. We have evaluated the amount of either thyroid hormones, or antithyroid, or anti-microsomal, or anti-peroxidase antibodies (Abs) in patients with high amounts of Abs. In a diet devoid of carbohydrates (bread, pasta, fruit, and rice), free from goitrogenic food, and based on body mass index, the distribution of body mass and intracellular and extracellular water conducted for 3 weeks gives the following results: patients treated as above showed a significant reduction of antithyroid (-40%, P<0.013), anti-microsomal (-57%, P<0.003), and anti-peroxidase (-44%, P<0,029) Abs. Untreated patients had a significant increase in antithyroid (+9%, P<0.017) and anti-microsomal (+30%, P<0.028) Abs. Even the level of anti-peroxidase Abs increased without reaching statistical significance (+16%, P>0064). With regard to the body parameters measured in patients who followed this diet, reduction in body weight (-5%, P<0.000) and body mass index (-4%, P<0.000) were observed. Since 83% of patients with high levels of autoantibodies are breath test positive to lactase with a lactase deficit higher than 50%, this fact led us to hypothesize a correlation with carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein and therefore a possible role of carbohydrate metabolism in the development and maintenance of autoimmune thyroiditis associated with body weight increase and slower basic metabolism.
Keywords: thyroiditis, thyroid hormones, thyroid autoantibodies, low-carbohydrate diet, protein diet

Certainly the amount of calories matters when it comes to weight loss, but whether the type of calories has any impact is more controversial. The results of several recent studies however provide a convincing argument that the type of calories matters.
Take for example a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that examined the effects of increasing protein in place of fat while keeping carbs constant. In this study, protein was increased from 15% to 30% and fat reduced from 35% to 20% (carb was constant at 50%). The increase in protein was clearly associated with reduced appetite and caloric intake, which ultimately led to a significant weight loss.
Exactly how protein curbs appetite is unknown, but this study suggests it may affect one of the most potent appetite hormones leptin.
Regardless of how it works, the data seem clear – increasing protein helps reduce appetite and caloric intake. This means it is a lot easier to lose weight when you bump up the protein intake.
Weigle DS, Breen PA, Matthys CC, Callahan HS, Meeuws KE, Burden VR, Purnell JQ. A high-protein diet induces sustained reductions in appetite, ad libitum caloric intake, and body weight despite compensatory changes in diurnal plasma leptin and ghrelin concentrations.
