There are a few 'The ______ of Our Lives' out there: Days. Time. Moments. Love. They define who we are, where we've been and where we are going. And today, many of those days, times, moments and loves interact with applications. Both the apps we tap and the back end applications used to chronicle these events have become as much a part of our lives as the happenings themselves.
The app, Life.
As reported on umpteen outlets yesterday, Twitter went down for about an hour. As news broke, there were also some fun headlines like, Twitter goes down, chaos and productivity ensue, Twitter is down. NFL free agency should be postponed, Twitter is down, let the freak-out commence and Twitter goes down, helps man take note it's his wife's birthday. It is amazing how much society has come to rely on social media to communicate. Another article, Why Twitter Can't Keep Crashing, goes right into the fact that it is globally distributed, real-time information delivery system and how the world has come to depend on it, not just to share links and silly jokes but how it affects lives in real ways.
Whenever Facebook crashes for any amount of time people also go crazy. Headlines for that usually read something like, 'Facebook down, birthdays/anniversaries/parties cease to exist!' Apparently since people can't tell, post, like, share or otherwise bullhorn their important events, it doesn't actually occur. 'OMG! How am I gonna invite people to my bash in two weeks without social media?!? My life is over!' Um, paper, envelopes, stamps anyone?
We have connected wrist bracelets keeping track of our body movements, connected glasses recording every move, connected thermostats measuring home environments and pretty much any other 'thing' that you want to monitor, keep track of or measure. From banking to buying, to educating to learning, to connecting to sharing and everything in between, our lives now rely on applications so much so, that when an application is unavailable, our lives get jolted. Or, we pause our lives for the moment until we can access that application. As if we couldn't go on without it. My, how application availability has become critical to our daily lives.
I think The Internet of Things will soon become The Internet of Nouns since every person, place or thing will be connected. I like that. I call 'The Internet of Nouns' as our next frontier!
Sorry adverbs, love ya but you're not connected.

For basic one-to-one voice or video calling solutions, WebRTC has proven to be a very powerful technology. Although WebRTC's core functionality is to provide secure, real-time p2p media streaming, leveraging native platform features and server-side components brings up new communication capabilities for web and native mobile applications, allowing for advanced multi-user use cases such as video broadcasting, conferencing, and media recording.

IoT generates lots of temporal data. But how do you unlock its value? You need to discover patterns that are repeatable in vast quantities of data, understand their meaning, and implement scalable monitoring across multiple data streams in order to monetize the discoveries and insights. Motif discovery and deep learning platforms are emerging to visualize sensor data, to search for patterns and to build application that can monitor real time streams efficiently.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Heavy rain spreads into southern WADrew Casper-Richardson, Saturday March 2, 2013 - 10:37 EDT
Parts of southern Western Australia have had their highest rainfall in nearly 30 years as ex-Tropical Cyclone Rusty continued to trek south.
After lashing the eastern Pilbara Coast with flooding rains, destructive winds and large waves, Severe Tropical Cyclone Rusty moved inland, taking heavy rain with it. Since making landfall, Rusty has moved south through central Western Australia where it weakened below cyclone strength. The heavy rain has continued though with widespread falls of 50-100mm.
To 9am on Friday some of the highest totals were in the northern Goldfields and Interior districts. Lorna Glen picked up 108mm which is their highest daily total since 1997. Carnegie had their highest fall in nearly 30 years with 87mm recorded.
During Friday the rain continued its trek south. To 9am on Saturday the heaviest falls were from around Kalgoorlie through to the Esperance Coast. Kalgoorlie itself had 88mm , making it their highest in 18 years and Esperance has had 51mm so far.
The rain will continue on Saturday with further falls of 10-20mm likely with isolated falls exceeding 30mm. Rain will ease later in the day with a few isolated showers lingering around the region on Sunday.

Blogs HNN WAFA SULTAN ON ARAB MISTREATMENT OF INDIANSFeb 17, 2008 8:21 pm
This video was taken in one of the Gulf areas, not exactly sure where. But seems from their language that they are Muslim Shiite. The owner of the place and his friends or relatives are beating an Indian servant for some reason. But regardless, whatever he has done, should be taken care by the law of the country.
These people have no right to take the law in their hands. It's every one's responsibility to take measures in stopping this type of atrocities against humanity. This is slavery and we are living in the 21st century.

Wednesday's Red Sox-Rays matchups: Ryan Dempster vs. Jeremy Hellickson
|06.19.13 at 11:23 am ET
The Red Sox will send Ryan Dempster to the mound Wednesday at Fenway Park to take on Rays pitcher Jeremy Hellickson in the final game of a three-game series.
Dempster (4-7, 4.21 ERA) is coming off a strong outing against the Orioles, in which he only allowed two runs on five hits and five walks through 7 2/3 innings. However, Dempster did not get any run support and received the loss.
One thing Dempster has done well in recent starts is pitch deep into games. The right-hander has lasted at least six innings in his last four starts after pitching fewer than five innings in his previous three starts. He lasted 122 pitches in his last start in Baltimore, which is his second-highest total on the season.
'Ryan did an outstanding job,' John Farrell said after the game. 'Obviously we pushed him a little bit hard in that eighth inning. Felt like that was his game.'
Dempster has struggled against Luke Scott in his career, allowing a triple and a double in seven career plate appearances. However, Dempster has done shut down James Loney throughout his career, holding him to a .105 batting average.
On the other side, Hellickson struggled in his last start, allowing eight runs on 10 hits through 5 2/3 innings. It was Hellickson's worst start of the season, and he has not pitched six innings or more since May 22.
Hellickson has had good control of his pitches this season, though, especially as of late. The 26-year-old righty has not allowed more than one walk in any of his last seven starts, and has only walked 19 batters in his 14 starts. Since May 11, 67 percent of Hellickson's pitches have been strikes.
Hellickson has dominated Will Middlebrooks, holding him to an .083 batting average with eight strikeouts in 12 plate appearances. David Ortiz has had a lot more success, hitting two home runs and a triple off the righty while maintaining a .520 on-base percentage.Rays vs. Dempster (RHP)

However when phoning front desk from your room are very quick to stop talking to you when you ask them questions it feels like they just wanna put the phone down all the time! The hotel looks tired which is why I puzzled as to why it was 4 stars but the quality of service was pretty good to be fair and I actually slept well. They could have had shower with better pressure to be fair, otherwise it was fine :)

Hotel staff were warm and welcoming. Damage and wear and tear showing throughout hotel. Room was so so until i noticed the window didn't close properly, bed wasn't anything special and pillows were super uncomfortable. Ordered food/room service after long work day at 9.15pm, no sign of it by 10.15. Called again, had multiple conversations with reception and restaurant staff before being told that it hadn't been put through. Got food at 11.00pm. Wasn't too impressed. Wouldn't stay here or at any Mecure hotels again.

Overall was excellent. However as I was lying in the bath, I could see dirt just below the toilet rim as it wasn't cleaned properly and did have to close the lid to relax. Room 320

Published August 28, 1998
Organizers predict that the Nike World Masters Games will finish with an operating "deficit of about" $500,000, according to Jeff Manning of the Portland OREGONIAN, who wrote, "Although disappointing, the shortfall is a relatively modest sum for an organization that for months danced on the edge of a financial precipice." The "low point" for the Games came in March, when, according to three World Masters Games board members, the event's primary lender, U.S. Bancorp, "demanded that the organization repay its three-months' overdue loan, reportedly between" $800,000 and $1M. Manning wrote that the organization struggled with a "revenue crunch brought on by disappointing athlete participation and slow sponsorship sales," and that the Games' "numerous financial challenges led to tension" between the Games' board and its CEO Doug Single. Organizers also said they found that Nike's presence as title sponsor of the event "hampered other sponsorship sales." Single said that he was "convinced" that traditional Olympic sponsors turned down the World Games "because of Nike's presence." Single: "They said no, and they said no in a major way." Manning added that the "good news for the Games' suppliers and lenders" is that the organizing committee "appears to have the resources to pay off the bulk of its obligations" (Portland OREGONIAN, 8/27). THE BUZZ: In Portland, Rachel Bachman wrote that some athletes and sponsors said the event "fell short of their expectations and of officials' plans." Bachman: "The short answer is money -- or lack of it. Lagging registrations led to a cash shortage, which forced Games organizers to cut back on everything" (Portland OREGONIAN, 8/27). THE NIKE FACTOR: Bachman wrote that because Nike was the event's title sponsor, paying $500,000 for that right, "many athletes mistakenly blame" organizers for the "event's shortcomings. Some athletes said they planned to boycott Nike." Cyclist & Bowler Ivanna Teneycke: "If I had any Nike stock, I'd sell it." Nike Dir of Global Community Affairs Doug Stamm: "We've put considerably more money and time and personnel to these Games than would ever be expected for a similar sponsorship" (Portland OREGONIAN, 8/27).

As of now there are no details on what he was caught with, although the only drug we know it wouldn't be is pot, because that only results in a fine not a full wellness suspension.
- When Raw went off air the other night HBK once again joined Triple H and John Cena in the ring. The crowd burst in to Owen Hart chants, which Triple H responded with "we all miss him." All the wrestlers clapped.

United States
#10 Sep 4, 2013
I hear him and his sister and her old man cook it at their aunts house on 21st street
#11 Nov 27, 2013
The Jon Raymer I know is a sweet man. When I first met him it was only by voice. I was staying in a room at a motel that he was at. He was sticking up for a young woman to her mother. To hear someone stand up to the unjust ways of someone well is just fucking sexy.
After gathering my courage I went out side just to see if maybe I could sneak a peek at him. At my surprise he was setting in from of my room looking broken hearten.We made conversation and I started showing him mt tats. Idk how but the next thing I know we are staying in my room together. I far from minded. We had some really good times.
He told me about his daughter and some of the things going on with her. I could see how much this broke his heart. Hell I even went to the court house with him but did not feel it was my place to go into the court room. I met his mom that day. I still wish I had met her differently but I can not change that. Later that day I got to meet his BEAUTIFUL daughter. I was aww struck. Then I went into panic mode after they left. I would say why but dont want to go into detail.
I met a few of his friends over the time we where together. They where a little fucked up emotionally as well as Jon and myself but they where good peeps.
Long shorty short He is a good person. Just like all of us. An just like all of us he is in some kind of emotional pain and we all try to cover it up with ever the fuck we can until we can get over it, but forget or not do what we should have done in the first place just road out the storm until it was over.
I have tried contacting him threw his peeps but to no prevail.
So if you are the young woman he was sticking up for You are no more than a fool if you dont stay with him. BUT both of you have got to get your shit together for the baby-girl.She deserves the best in life. She is only a child we are grown and should know better.
An tell him he is always loved and cared about. If not in person from a distance.
#12 Nov 27, 2013
If you are talking about Kelly then you don't know who the Hell you're talking about. Jon needs to stay the hell away from that crazy chick
#13 Nov 28, 2013
Idk her name but your probably right. As I stated she as well as he needs to get strait for baby girl, but if she is just wanting to use him/ take advantage of his emotion for her to buy her stuff. The fully agree with you.
It is no ones job to make her material need met except her own. If she had no interest in him other than material objects she should be a shamed of her self and repay him for what he has given her.He dose have a daughter to take care of. An to take away from a child is more shameful than any other crime because the are innocent.
Jon is a good hearten person that I fully believe gets taken advantage of just because of his carrying disposition.
I to am only a fool of compassion and I can only tell of Jon as I know him. An as I have stated I only knew him for a short while but enjoyed my time with him.
#14 Nov 28, 2013
I feel I must add Jon never did meth in my presents but drank(since it was put on this message bored).
That is what I mean about getting strait. He never did any other chemical except naproxen,oragel,and alcohol in the short time I knew him.

Strawberry cream cheese frosting are the magic words here. I don't even care if there is any cake under there. I'll be happy with a giant lump of strawberry cream cheese frosting.
If I were into this sort of style I would hire whoever made these amazing cupcakes to decorate my house. Now find me some cupcakes that look like Le Corbusier and the Eames brothers designed them and I'll be in heaven.
My husband has taken to doing most of the cooking in our house these days. He'd look adorable in this.
I doubt these would be allowed for serious dice play, but they sure would make gambling more adorable!
Cupcakes are not my first choice for movie watching snacks, but when they are this carefully thought out and so nicely themed! That ticket is especially impressive with it's little numbers all painted on so precisely. Do you think I could win a raffle with that sweet treat?

Sickle Cell Anemia Differential Diagnoses
- Author: Joseph E Maakaron, MD; Chief Editor: Emmanuel C Besa, MD more...
Diagnostic Considerations
SCD is suggested by the typical clinical picture of chronic hemolytic anemia and vaso-occlusive crisis. The diagnosis is confirmed when electrophoresis demonstrates the presence of homozygous HbS. In addition to HbSS, this test may also document other hemoglobinopathies (eg, HbSC, HbS-beta+ thalassemia).
Sickling variants and sickle trait must be distinguished from HbS disease. HbS exists in combination with other hemoglobins in a double heterozygous state. The clinically important diseases involved, observed in patients in the United States, are HbSC and Hb-beta thalassemia.
HbSC disease is a milder sickling disorder. It is present in 1 in 1100 African Americans. In the HbC mutation, lysine replaces glutamic acid in position 6 on the beta chain. HbA is not present. The RBCs contain 50% HbS and 50% HbC. Anemia is much milder, with Hb levels of 11 g/dL or higher.
Symptoms of HbSC disease are similar to SCD but less frequent and less severe. Splenomegaly often persists well into adult life. Aseptic necrosis of the femoral head is not more common than in SCD. A proliferative retinopathy may lead to progressive loss of vision.
The diagnosis of HbSC disease is made with Hb electrophoresis. The peripheral blood smear may have some sickled cells and a high proportion of target cells. In addition, microcytic, dehydrated, dense RBCs are seen. These may contain crystal-like condensations. Treatment and management strategies are similar to those employed in Hb S disease.
In HbS–beta 0 thalassemia, only HbS is found on electrophoresis. HbA2 is elevated and splenomegaly usually is present. The clinical picture is similar to SCD but is slightly less severe. Management is similar to that for SCD. In HbS–beta+ thalassemia, Hb A is present, usually between 10% and 30%. The spleen is usually enlarged. This disease is otherwise similar to SCD but is milder.
Sickle cell trait is the heterozygous carrier state of HbS. These individuals have approximately 40% HbS and 60% HbA, less so with coexisting alpha-thalassemia trait.
People with sickle trait generally are well and have the following characteristics:
Normal life expectancy
Not at excessive risk for infection
Not subject to painful crisis under normal circumstances
No anemia
Nevertheless, providing genetic counseling to prospective parents with sickle cell trait is important. Reports exist of excessive deaths under extreme conditions, such as military basic training involving strenuous exertion; however, this is very uncommon. Similarly, isolated reports exist of organ infarction and crisis under unusual circumstances. Many of these patients lose urine-concentrating capacity. Painless hematuria may be present.
HbS variants may occur as double heterozygotes with other Hb variants. These include HbD, HbE, and HbO Arab. These are observed very infrequently in the United States, and information about them can be found in hematology texts.
Other problems to be considered
Gaucher disease also expands the marrow cavity and causes bone marrow infarction. Unlike sickle cell disease, which causes splenic infarction, Gaucher disease causes splenomegaly.
Depending on the clinical presentation, the differential diagnosis may also include the following:
Valvular heart disease
Septic arthritis
Upper respiratory tract infection
Aortic arch syndrome
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy
Incontinentia pigmenti
Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy
Lupus erythematosus
Polycythemia vera
Talc and cornstarch emboli
Uveitis, including pars planitis

Dead Sea in October
We are really excited about our trip to Isreal at the end of October. Will the water temperatures at that time be too cold to go for a float in the Dead Sea?
Report Abuse
I have been there twice, that was February 2007 and in December 2007. In February it was impossible (for me anyway) but in December it was OK. Cool, but OK in December so I think October will be great. You might want to bring some aqua socks, the bottom is a bit rocky.
Report Abuse
Hi, could some one help me to plan our visit to Dead sea in December, we will have just one day. We will overnight in Jerusalen on December,27 and the next day we would like to go to dead sea and should be back to our ship in ASHDOD at 4 p.m. A family group of 8 people.
The question is could we rent a car with driver to do this? I never been to dead sea (that is big) where to go?

Pain and lack of function are the two main factors that motivate people with non-specific chronic low back pain (CLBP) to seek care [1].

It's always great to see new tools coming into the eLearning market. We've all been hearing the buzz about it for a while now. But the official ZebraZapps product is now finally released and open for all to test, and start creating some eLearning content. You can login for a 60 Day Trial to check out all the great features.

Then I'll be hitting the always excellent DevLearn in Las Vegas at the end of September to run a workshop on learning science for design (you should want to attend!) That might seem like enough, but I'll also be at Online Educa in Berlin at the beginning of December running an mlearning for academia workshop and seeing my ITA colleagues. and give a session on content engineering. At the end of October I'm down under at the Learning@Work event in Sydney to talk the Revolution. design mobile social strategy technology
DevLearn 2009 - Ruth Clark's workshop on Scenario Based Learning
The Learning Generalist
Today was my second day at DevLearn 2009 and I must say its been a great investment this far. Today I sat through the workshop by Ruth Clark on the topic of "Scenario Based Learning" and I thought I could do a quick report on some things I learnt from the experience. conference devlearn scenario based learning training learning adult learningWhat did I learn?

Concrete and Contextual
Clark Quinn
I'm working on the learning science workshop I'm going to present at DevLearn next month, and in thinking about how to represent the implications of designing to account for how we work better when the learning context is concrete and sufficient contexts are used, I came up with this, which I wanted to share. Regardless, then there should be expert oversight on feedback.
Designing Learning Like Professionals
Clark Quinn
If you're interested in learning more, I'll be running a learning science for design workshop at DevLearn, and would love to see you there. I'm increasingly realizing that the ways we design and develop content are part of the reason why we're not getting the respect we deserve. Our brains are arguably the most complex things in the known universe, yet we don't treat our discipline as the science it is. We need to start combining experience design with learning engineering to really start delivering solutions. The list goes on.
What Instructional Designers Don't Want to Hear

Upcoming Events & Workshops. October : Las Vegas (Devlearn). I'll be at Devlearn for a presentation on How to Make Community Part of Your Training. I love the weekly elearning challenges. They get us to do things we may not often do on our own. We get to practice new techniques and think through different ideas. We also get to see how others approach the same challenge.

In the learning game design workshop that Karl Kapp and I offer (the next one will be at DevLearn 2014 ), the very thing we do is to play some games. A lot of people want to design learning games, aka "serious games." If you do not play games, you will find it very difficult to design a great game. You experience different core dynamics and decide how fun they are.

#DL10 - Reflections on DevLearn and other stuff
In the Middle of the Curve
As those who talked to me at DevLearn found out - I haven't had much blogging or eLearning mojo lately. couldn't decide whether DevLearn came at a perfect time or at the worst time. think I needed the time away from the office more than the fantastic information DevLearn provides. I was To the relief of my employers, I did manage to walk away with two things of value from the week (besides a reduction in burnout). 1) Biggest takeaway - as a profession, we need to be focused more on creating learning environments and systems and less on building courses or creating content.

Bath mats are OK in the car, but not on the driver's side
Dear Readers: A recent column sharing a hint from a reader about using bath mats in the car, on top of the regular car mats, brought several comments from you, as well as an email from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Many readers wanted clarification that if you do place bath mats in the car, they are not to be placed on the driver's side, which is correct. I think this reader meant that she put the bath mats on the passenger's side, not on the driver's side.
The NHTSA states: "Incorrect or improperly installed floor mats in your vehicle may interfere with the operation of the accelerator or brake pedal, increasing the risk of a crash." It offers these tips from its Checklist and Tips for Safe Winter Driving:
Remove old mats before installation of new mats.
Never stack mats, as that may increase the potential for pedal interference.
Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for mat installation, and use the available retention clips to secure the mat in the proper position. This will prevent the mat from sliding forward.
Check that the mats are the correct size and fit for the vehicle and do not interfere with the full operation of the foot controls (accelerator, brake and clutch peddles).

P.S.: Thanks to all who wrote. It's nice to know that you care and want to caution others if they misunderstood the reader's hint.
Dear Heloise: Almost everyone in the Midwest has had to deal with the mess of snowy, slushy winter roads this year. With freezing temperatures, many carwashes also are closed. Even though we can't get the whole car clean, every morning we at least clean the headlights and taillights, and check the washer fluid. It's so important to see and be seen, especially during bad weather.

Dear Heloise: We subscribe to many magazines and newspapers. Also, we make charitable contributions throughout the year. Both often mail requests for payment soon after we have already made our payment for the year.
I bought colored index cards and a folder. Each charity is a yellow card, magazines pink and newspapers blue. I write the date paid, the amount paid and when the next payment is due. I have records going back four years, so I can see what I paid the past few years and decide whether I still want to continue.

Dear Heloise: Sometimes you don't have time to let your curling iron cool off before packing it when traveling. I know you can pack it in an oven mitt, but I take a cool, wet washcloth and wrap it around the hot barrel while I finish getting ready. It typically takes a short time (five to 10 minutes) for the iron to cool off enough to pack.
This works on flat irons, too.
