Great Ways to Stay Cool During Summer
With summer not far away, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to stay cool over the hot months. Here are some ideas for staying comfortable whether it been air conditioners or water.
Swimming pools
This is a fairly obvious option. Who doesn't love a good splash in the water during the summer. Swimming in cool water lowers the body temperature especially if you are willing to get your head wet. However, you can't stay in the pool at all times, unfortunately and that much exposure to the sun is not good for you. Make sure you wear sunscreen whenever you are swimming or out in the sun at all.
If you are lucky enough to have a beach near you, it is probably the coolest area of your town. Of course, you can get in the ocean and chanc (more…)
Top Tips for Designing Above Ground Pool Decks
Having a pool is great. It makes for a great place for your kids to play and to entertain friends and family. Your home may quickly become the hot place to hang out during the summer after you install a pool. It certainly can feel like you have a bit of a resort in your back yard. If you have a pool, you need a deck for it. There are a lot of great options for an above ground pool deck.
Above Ground Pool Deck Ideas:
- Wood: This is the most popular material for all pool decks. One of the biggest reasons is that you are only limited by your imagination in terms of what you can build for your above ground pool deck. Wood decks are very affordable. The cost will vary based on what kind of desk you design.If you decide you want to make your deck out of wood, remember to factor in the costs associated with maintaining your deck. You should absolutely have it treated. These decks still will need a decent amount of work to keep them safe from the elements and water fro the pool. The vast majority of above ground pool decks are made from wood because of how many different kinds of looks you can create. Remember, there are different options for wood. You can pick between cedar, pressure treated pine and redwood. All make beautiful decks.
- Recycled Plastic. If you want the look of wood but not the feel (splinters are never fun), some companies are now making decks out of recycled plastic. This is made to look like wood but is more durable and you are doing the planet a favor by reusing plastic.
- Stone: These decks are very durable and can be very classic looking. Stone is one of the most expensive materials for above ground pool decks but the cost may be worth it. Not only do they look great, they last a long time. You do not need to worry about wear and tear from foot traffic. Travertine, a limestone that is made from hit mineral springs, is a very popular stone material. It is a popular option for decks, floors and other surfaces around the house. Stone decks can make a real impression.
- Aluminum: This is not as common a material for above ground pool decks but has the advantage of being very durable, they last longer than most other deck materials. They are very easy to put in and comfortable to stand on as the carpet they are often lined with feels great on the bottoms of swimmers' feet.
- Composite decks. Some people consider these to be the best option for many reasons. You can combine stone and wood for these versatile decks. While wood is popular because it is versatile, nothing beats composite decks for the range of styles that can be made by combing wood and stone.
- Resin. People like this material for their above ground pool decks because it will not deteriorate during the cold, winter months. They come in a number of different shapes, which are often more interesting and unique than their aluminum counterparts. If you work with the company, you can probably find a specialized design to meet your needs and style. Because they are remade, installation is very quick. and painless.
Like any other part of your landscaping and home's exterior, above ground pool decks should compliment your home. They are a direct reflection of your style and personality. They can really add value to your home. When you are looking at materials for your deck, look at a variety of patio design options. Most of all, have fun with your deck. You can really bring a fun element to your home design and this will benefit you should you decide to sell your house. Adding a deck, even without a pool, to your home can give you a return on investment of more than 70%. So not only can you have fund designing and using your pool deck but it is a solid investment.
How Can I Prevent Break-Ins In My Home Or Business?
Are you creating a small business or looking to start one? While there are many things you have to keep in mind in order to be successful, such as marketing campaigns and maintaining a close eye on customer reviews, there are simple daily habits that you need to be mindful of to encourage safety in the long run. When it comes to installing a door or two, you'll need to research commercial door locks and different types of keys to ensure your financial efforts don't go to waste! Homeowners and renters face many of the same issues when it comes to security and a strong lock can literally make or break a good foundation. Read below to (more…)
Look at Brick Patios for Your Next Backyard Project
If you love to grill and use your patio often, you?re not alone: although the most popular grilling days are Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day, a full 60 percent of grillers report that they use their grill year round! While many people use the terms deck and patio interchangeably, technically a deck is made of wood and a patio is made from brick, concrete, or stone. The word patio is Spanish and means the courtyard of a building or house, so that may help you to remember the difference.
If this sounds like you, you might be thinking about upgrading your patio area by installing one or more brick patios. Brick patio designs are numerous, and if you want to design your own the o (more…)
Roofing Repairs Done by Commercial Contractors
Are you currently having problems with your roof? If you are, you should consider hiring commercial contractors to help you decide what types of roofing materials to use to either repair or replace the current roof. Each year, that industry generates an estimation of $46 billion in revenue located in the United States. A home is an investment worth putting some money into in order to live in it for the long haul. Retirement is right around the corner and it?s much cheaper to get new roof than living with a current one with problems. Do you know that as much as 20% your roof gets cut from longer life expectancy if you layered on top of an existing roof? (more…)
Why We Should Care For Our Environment
Taking care of the environment is something that we are all responsible for. There are many ways that we can contribute. Being green is not something we do but a way of living. Maybe you are asking yourself why you should even care about the environment. First of all, the only way to live a healthy life with clean air is through a clean environment and don't forget that we are not only cleaning the air and our world for ourselves but for our kids and our kids' kids. The truth is, this is our home and we should take pride in where we live. Here's a few ways that we can take care of our world.

Keep Your Carpet Looking Great With these Tips
Do you have carpets in your home? Most people in the United States do. It covers nearly 70% of the floors in the country. According to Houzz, nearly 40% of homeowners say they like their bedrooms to have carpeting. The question is then, how do you keep your rugs looking the way they do in carpet stores?
Carpet Stores Tips for Maintenance and Cleaning
Deep clean them on a regular basis. You should vacuum often but then every now and then it is worth it to hire a carpet company to do a very thorough cleaning of all your carpets. This will remove dirt, dust, danger and germs. This is especially crucial for people who have asthma or other breathing problems.
Fight stains with a few common household items.
Ice: If you have ever gotten gum stuck anywhere, like in your hair, you probably know that the best trick is to freeze it. That makes it less sticky and easy to remove. All you need to do with your carpet is place an ice cube on top. After the gum is frozen, you can use a spoon to peel it off the carpet strands. You may have to cut a little off but it will not be noticeable.
Shaving cream: This works wonders on most stains. Using it is as simple as spray, let set and then blot it away. The stain should lift up easily. For basic stains, let the cream sit for about 30 minutes. Wait longer for stains that resist being removed. You can try this more than once.
Hydrogen peroxide will remove blood. You do not have to be a serial killer to want to get a blood stain out of your carpet. Pour it directly on the stain and then blot it clean with towels. If you have a lot of it, try to remove any crusted blood before you add the hydrogen peroxide. The compound should foam a but when it gets in contact with the blood but do not worry about that.
Get rid of wax with your iron. Place a paper towel on the area affected and a cloth on the iron. Heat the iron to a low to medium setting and iron the floor. The wax will melt and stick to the towel. Be careful about heating the iron too much or leaving it on the carpet too long as either can burn the carpet.
Protect your carpets and the environment at the same time. Many experts from carpet stores agree that using organic compounds to remove pet stains are better for your carpets than harsh chemicals, which damage both the carpet and are bad for the environment. If you have pets, at some point they will make a mess. Using these products can extend the life of your flooring. Many of these products also work with more human stains like coffee and wine.
Like most floor options, if cared for properly, carpets can last and look fresh from the carpet stores for decades. Preventing stains is often the best way but as you live in a home and not a museum, having plans to deal with spills, stains and other issues will help keep your home looking great for years.
There Could Be Mutant Turtles in Your Sewer and Other Things You Should Know
Though it is certainly not something very glamorous to think about or to deal with, making sure that your home sewer system is in proper working order and up to date is crucial to the happiness and functionality of your every day life. While you may not know the first thing about sewers, scheduling a sewer inspection and any subsequent repairs will make things much more pleasant in the long run, not only due to the reduced amount of hassle for you, but for anyone in the surrounding area as well. Sewers that are in poor condition or that are causing problems are not something that can easily be hidden or ignored.

Are You Looking for Local HVAC Services?
It has been 18 years and it is finally time to make a change. After all of this time in your home you have never spent the money to finish the basement. Mostly used as a crafting and sewing area, the large unfinished space also makes a great place for sleepovers. This week, however, when the winter temperatures dropped below zero, the coldness of the basement has prevented anyone from spending any time down there.
You and your wife have decided that it is time to finish what you never bothered to start. Before any floor plans or decorator choices are made, however, you have both decided that the priority is to find one of the local HVAC services and receive some advice on making the space more warm and comfortable during the coldest of winter days.

Why Every Home Should Have a Security System
Count to 15 slowly. In the time it took you to count to 15, one house in the United States was burgled, according to ASecureLife.com. One in 36 homes in the U.S is burgled each year and the average loss is $2,230 per break in, according to the FBI. In total burglaries cause $4.7 billion in property losses. Statistics on home invasions are harder to find, but also represent a risk for home owners.
Home security systems can reduce the risk of being burgled by as much as three times. A 2012 study of convicted burglars looked at factors that deterred burglars from a target house. The respondents indicated that they considered close proximity of other people, whether or not there were escape routes, and most importantly, signs of increased security such as alarm signs or outdoor cameras. Just over 60% o (more…)

B-D reports:
How this press release over at Variety got butchered this bad is beyond my comprehension, but we went out and got the full announcement so you guys know the full story on Sanctuary, which was adapted by Stephen Susco (The Grudge) from a novel by John Connolly. Read on for details on Lionsgate's acquisition and a super long synopsis for the film, which Mark Amin and Alison Rosenzweig (Windtalkers) will produce.
Official release below:
Good men may be hard to find, but bad men will be coming to a theater near you. And, if Stephen Susco's spec script SANCTUARY is any indication, they do some of their best work in the dark.
Lionsgate and Sobini Films purchased the script for Mark Amin and Alison Rosenzweig (WINDTALKERS) to produce. Susco will exec produce, along with Michael Gaeta.
Based on John Connolly's novel BAD MEN, the script is a supernatural thriller about a woman with a mysterious past who takes refuge on a haunted island off the coast of Maine, known to locals as Sanctuary.
Irish thriller author Connolly published BAD MEN, his fifth novel, in 2003.
Susco adapted the book on spec for producer Rosenzweig, who optioned the Connolly tome out of her development fund. They then set it up with Sobini, and structured a co-financing arrangement with Lionsgate's Peter Block and Jason Constantine, who will oversee for the studio.
Susco wrote Sony's THE GRUDGE and the upcoming GRUDGE 2. His script for RED, based on the Jack Ketchum novel, rolls in October with Lucky McKee helming.
"Stephen's an amazing writer," Rosenzweig said. "He's in a class of his own. So it's been a great thrill working with him. And the creative team at Lionsgate and Sobini really responded to his vision of the movie."
Lionsgate and Sobini have teamed up on a number of projects, including PEACEFUL WARRIOR, directed by Victor Salva, in June.
Tracy Rice is also attached to produce.
In 1693, the settlers on the small Maine island of Sanctuary were betrayed to their enemies and slaughtered. Since then, the island has known three hundred years of peace.
Until now.
Four men are descending on Sanctuary, their purpose to hunt down and kill the wife of their leader and retrieve the money that she stole from him. All that stands in their way are a young rookie officer, Sharon Macy, and the island's strange, troubled policeman, the giant known as Melancholy Joe Dupree.
But Joe Dupree is no ordinary policeman. He is the guardian of the island's secrets, the repository of its memories. He knows that Sanctuary has been steeped in blood once; it will tolerate the shedding of innocent blood no longer. Now a band of killers is set to desecrate Sanctuary and unleash the fury of its ghosts upon themselves and all who stand by them.
On Sanctuary, all hell is about to break loose...

Demonstration and Unofficial Sports at the Olympics
It is fascinating the large number and variety of sports that have at one time been part of the Olympic Games, either as official or unofficial demonstration (exhibition) sports.

Until recently, most Olympic Games have had a variety of demonstration sports held as part of the Games, held at the same time as official sports but not eligible for medals. Atthe first few Games, there were many sporting contests held at the same time, but not all have been given Olympic status.
There are some interesting sports that were included as demonstration sports at the Olympic Games, some later becoming part of the official program (such as baseball), others disappearing from world sport althgether (as maybe they should). Some of the more unusual sports include taxi and delivery van racing and cannon shooting in 1900. See the complete list of demonstration sports. See also our list of demonstration sports at the Winter Olympics.
Demonstration sports were not "officially" introduced until 1912, though before then some sports competitions were held simultaneously to the games, and today are considered "unofficial" or demonstration sports as well. A well known example is Pigeon Shooting in 1900.
Originally, demonstration sports and events were included to showcase sports or events which were unique to the country hosting the Games, but recently they were often used as a stepping stone in the application for consideration as a future Olympic medal sport. In 1989, the IOC voted to disallow unofficial demonstration events at Olympics, starting with the 1996 Games.
These days, specific rules that must be followed in order for a sport to be accepted as part of the official program. That means unfortunately for some, fortunately for others, many of the sports described on this website will never be seen again on the world's stage.

A Dark Moon
So here I stand. In the arms of my mortal enemy. But I can't seem to move away. I hear my brother scream for me to leave, to run. Yet as he tilts his head towards me, I can't seem to want to move. And as his lips touch mine, I feel complete. Luna, adopted daughter of Edward and Bella Cullen, faces the battle inside herself which Bella had to when she was human.
This is my first story. Please be nice. Also I need a beta
1. Chapter 1
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 587 Review this Chapter
You all know of my parents. Or at least you should. Well they aren't really my parents but they are the closest I have. Edward and Bella Cullen. That's right. I am their daughter. They found my twin and I in the woods, dying from an attack. 16 years old and dying. They saved us. If you know about them, you know how. Kalel and I have never had a family. Well not until the Cullens. I don't feel the need to tell you about my family because you already know.. But I should tell you about myself.
My real parents named me Luna. That was the only thing they ever did for me. Twins wasn't on their plans for their life. They gave us up. But Kalel and I have always taken care of ourselves. Numerous people have tried to separate us but none were victorious. We had too strong of a bond. And as vampires, the bond grew. We are powerful. So powerful that people are scared of us. And that is when we are apart. When together, we are unstoppable. Kalel loved this life. I didn't. I prayed for death every day. I wanted to leave this horrible existence. After all, I was the outcast of the family. Everyone found love. Kalel had Marie. I was happy for him, really, but it seems that I lost my brother. So here I stand, atop a mountain. Wishing for death.
A stench hit my nose. Werewolves. I turned around to see a man watching me carefully. I could tell by his smell that he spent a lot of time around werewolves. His features were amazing. I found myself not wanting to perish anymore if I could just stare at him. My dead heart jumped as he walked towards me. He took my hand and pulled me away from the edge. He was so warm. Almost too warm. "Please don't stand so close to the edge" His voice cut my despair. He pushed my raven hair back, tucking it behind my ear. He left his hand there. "You're too beautiful for that." I felt myself blush.
That was unexpected. He moved his hand to my cheek. "Thank you" I whispered shyly.
He chucked at my blush. "May I ask your name?" He was so gentleman like. "I'm Seth. Seth Clearwater"
He dropped his hand and went to grab mine. His hand felt amazing on mine. As he laced his fingers through mine I spoke.
"I'm Luna Cullen" When I spoke my name his hand dropped. "What did I d-" He cut me off. "You're a bloodsucker." He wasn't asking he was stating a fact.
"Why don't you smell to me?" I instantly realized what he was. It certainly explained why he was so warm. I backed away slowly.
I saw Kalel, his mouth turned into a snarl. "Luna get away from him"
Seth just stared at me. Looking at him, I couldn't seem scared.
"It's ok Kalel. I'll be home in a minute go ahead." He hesitated but nodded and took off running towards the house. I sighed and turned back towards Seth, crossing my arms over my chest.
"You don't smell to me either." My dead heart felt happy.
"Did you really care whether I died or not?" Part of me hoped he would say yes, but I pushed that side back.
He ran his fingers through his hair. "Well yeah... I did before"
I bit my cheek. "So not now?"

The game I just had, all Tier IV. Tnba2018 and me were the only humans, we had the same plane, but were positioned differently.
Why was I at the middle and he on the bottom? One of my BSh-2 was above, the other beneath me. My Ki-43-I was below me, his was above etc... So it's not the hitpoints of the plane, nor the class.
What makes your place? WL%, number of games, the equipment of your plane, the expert/medium/rookie level of bots, what?

The Health Benefits Of Dancing
Dance is one of the oldest forms of self-expression and entertainment on earth, existing since antiquity. But aside from just being an enjoyable way to express and entertain one's self, there are some great health benefits to dancing, or dance movement therapy.
Physical Benefits
Dancing is a physical activity and it has all of the same physical health benefits as walking, bicycling, or swimming. Dancing is a great way to strengthen bones and muscles, maintain a healthy weight improve balance and stay healthy in general. Dancing is also an activity that is appropriate for nearly everyone because it's so easy to vary the intensity based on fitness level and ability. Simply by increasing the dance tempo or adding a turn or dip, dancers can increase the intensity and get more of a physical benefit.
According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, it is estimated that 200 million women worldwide are affected by osteoporosis. One of the best ways to increase bone density and reverse the bone loss of osteoporosis is low impact, weight bearing exercise, such as dancing. Dancing increases muscular strength as well, something that is lost as people age. The loss of strength and bone density adds up to a loss of mobility and quality of life as people get older.
Dancing is a great way to maintain a healthy weight as well. A healthy weight is essential to everyone, no matter their age is. However, as people get older, metabolism slows. In addition, more and more people have sedentary lifestyles, with more people working in offices instead of in physical jobs, such as construction. By spending a little time dancing, people can rev up their metabolism and have some fun doing it.
Balance is essential for preventing injuries in people of all ages. Each year, one out of every three people 65 years of age or older will suffer some kind of fall resulting in an injury, and often those injuries are fatal, says the CDC. One of the best ways to increase balance is with dance, according to several studies conducted at the University of Missouri. The studies found that seniors who participated in group dance classes had improved balance and gait, which are two major factors in preventing falls.
According to the results of several research studies whose results were compiled into a report by the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, exercises like dancing can actually help ward off disease. One study showed that stress hormones that suppress the immune system are reduced during moderate physical exercise and that the effect is cumulative over time. This means that by dancing just a few days a week, people may be able to weather the cold and flu season unscathed.
Emotional Benefits
In addition to better health, dancing can make people feel better in other ways as well. Dancing has been shown to help prevent mild depression and improves confidence among dancers.
Depression is becoming an increasing problem among adolescents and adults of all ages. A study in The International Journal of Neuroscience found that dance movement therapy was shown to improve depression and improve psychological stress by regulating the levels of serotonin and dopamine in the body. Since dance is a social activity, it helps with the feelings of isolation that people who suffer from depression, or older people living alone, often feel.
Dance also helps improve confidence. Each time a new dance step is mastered, dancers experience an increase in confidence in addition to an elevated mood. That increase in confidence carries over to every aspect of life as Stanley Tucci's character Link demonstrated in the 2004 movie "Shall We Dance".
Mental Benefits
A 21-year study of seniors published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that frequent dancing actually helped stave off the affects of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, as well as increasing mental acuity for people of all ages. In short, dancing makes you smarter.
The study followed a group of seniors 75-years-old and older and was conducted by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. The study examined several forms of physical and cognitive activities and found that dancing had a 76 percent reduction in the risk and affects of dementia.
In addition, the complexity of dancing can actually increase neural pathways, this study found. These neural pathways increase as we learn. The brain rewires these pathways as needed throughout life. When it comes to the human mind, the phrase "use it or lose it" really does apply.
Dr. Joseph Coyle, a psychiatrist with Harvard Medical School, wrote in commentary on the study:
"The cerebral cortex and hippocampus, which are critical to these activities, are remarkably plastic, and they rewire themselves based upon their use."
Dr. Katzman, one of the study's authors hypothesized that people are able to resist the effects of dementia because they have an increased cognitive reserve and a greater complexity of neuronal synapses.
Things to remember:
- Dance is a physical activity so it's important to consult a doctor to be sure the activity is safe.
- A dancer should try several different styles of dance, but give each one a few weeks. This way the dancer can determine the style they like most.
- Dancing should be fun. If it isn't, it's not being done right.

History of Tobacco Regulation*
A peculiar relationship exists between production and revenue. In 1970, cash receipts from tobacco brought in $11 million for Pennsylvania; tobacco farmers and cigarette taxes amassed $194.6 million for the state. By comparison growers in North Carolina collected $576 million while the state collected only $13.4 million in cigarette revenues (USDA, Tobacco Situation, 1971b: 43).
The federal excise tax on a package of cigarettes is currently eight cents and has remained so since 1951. The combined state and federal tax was highest in Pennsylvania; 26 cents for 20 cigarettes, which was 58.2% of the retail price. Connecticut's 24 cents and Texas's 23.5 cents were close behind; the average for the United States was 46.8%.
To the Federal and state governments today, tobacco is a financial asset. The total federal and state revenue collected f rom all tobacco products in 1971 amounted to over $4.7 billion. Local governments excised the product further bringing the sum total to $4.8 million (USDA, Tobacco Situation, 1971b: 44).
From the years 1890 to 1930 cigarette tax collections from tobacco soared from approximately $1 million to over $339 million. By 1950, they exceeded $1.2 billion.
Totals for the years 1890 to 1970 are recorded in the following chart (Tobacco Tax
Council, 1970: 5)

National Pet Month is celebrated in May in the U.S., and the U.K. celebrates their version in April. Perhaps the world can celebrate this wonderful cause together, all year long!
A recent University of Georgia study report* revealed a significant finding related to the lifespans of dogs that have been spayed or neutered versus dogs that were still intact (not spayed or neutered).
So many kitties waiting in animal shelters. So few homes for them. What can be done?
Since June is the official Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, we'd like to offer three ways you can help.
When Nancy learned that her cat Walter had an eye tumor, her first thought was, "Oh no, my poor kitty. What can I do to take care of this?"
Her second thought was, "Thank goodness I have pet insurance." She knew that pet insurance would possibly save her hundreds to thousands of dollars for Walter's care.
Pet owners across the U.S. and Canada now have another place to search for lost pets following a natural disaster or other event.
Social Media for Lost Pets SmallLocal Facebook pages are quickly being set up to help reunite lost pets with their owners.

In our state, breast cancer is the number one form of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women.
In 2013, it is likely that 2,280 women will be told they have breast cancer and around 420 women will die from it in Arkansas alone.
Breast cancer in men is rare, but nationwide over 2,000 cases are diagnosed each year.
Finding cancer early can save your life. And since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we'd like to remind you about some of the prevention programs made available by acts of the General Assembly.
During the most recent legislative session, the Joint Budget Committee voted to isolate the appropriation for the BreastCare Program into a single line item in the Department of Health Budget. The amount appropriated for BreastCare 2014 is $8,998,524.
When the Arkansas General Assembly passed the Breast Cancer Act of 1997, the fate of hundreds of Arkansas women took a turn for the better. Guidelines were established making breast cancer diagnostic and treatment services available through the BreastCare program to Arkansas women who had little or no health insurance or who could otherwise not afford these critical services.
BreastCare is a comprehensive early detection program providing free breast and cervical cancer screenings to Arkansas women age 40 to 64 who have no health insurance and a household income level at or below 200% of the federal poverty level.
So far this year this program has provided mammograms to over 7,000 women. Last year over 12,000 women were served by the program. The services are offered at health departments, community health clinics and even private clinics in some cases can bill the services to the program. Women can enroll online and find their nearest provider at www.ARBreastCare.com.
Research has come a long way in providing detection and treatment. But there is still work to be done. Although the legislature will continue to evaluate and prioritize funding for such programs, help from the public is crucial. Even if you don't have financial resources to give to a national charity, there are ways you can help. Go to www.nationalbreastcancer.org to find out more.

The 3 Mistakes of My Life – Chetan Bhagat.
The new release of Chetan Bhagat, "The 3 Mistakes of My Life. I read it last weak-end, and what I can say in one line is it is typical Chetan Bhagat style book. It seems that Mr. Chetan Bhagat has some kind software, which he use to write his novel. He just puts new characters, names, situations in the software and the novel is ready. The characteristic of his protagonist is similar, their thinking process is also similar. As in the main character in his first book "Five Point Someone" would have done same thing if he was put in place of Govind patel of this book. Actually his first book and this book is so similar that it seems like he just change the name of his characters and put them in different situation. As you can make out that the main characters in both the book is not at all heroic, he is absolutely normal average person nothing extraordinary. But his best friend is more like a hero. Then the love track of main character in this book immediately reminds you of first book. One more thing which suggest that Chetan Bhagat is working on well thought format is that he included numbers in all the titles of his books five, one and now three. Or may be it is his superstition to add number in the titles. This may be because he is entered in the world of bollywood. He is certainly decided to write his novels keeping bollywood in mind. His first two novels are already on the floor to be in bollywood movies. And the way this book is shaped this is also going in same direction.
If I don't compare this novel with chetan Bhagat's earlier works. Then I am really impressed with this book. It has friendship, love, business, cricket, religion, riots, and ya happy ending, everything a bollywood movie demands. The book starts of really well. An email to author from a businessman who is going to take slipping pills. Excellent isn't it, everyone wants to know why he is doing it, you want to get bottom of it, and so you never keep book down. And if that happens author is winner isn't it.
Chetan Bhagat has front runner of these new breed of authors who don't use heavy duty English, instead he use just simple spoken English in India, Indian sentiments, passions. So he is surely represents youth of India. I just hope he doesn't lost in bollywood and keep up his good work and write many more novels in future.

'Marley' Documentary Eyes 4/20 Release
Magnolia Pictures has set the not-so-surprising release date of April 20 for the documentary "Marley" - more commonly referred to as 4/20 - but director Kevin Macdonald has already plotted the bonus material for the DVD package.
The two hour, 24-minute film will be accompanied with a disc that contains concert footage of four songs previously unseen, a 20-minute interview with Bunny Wailer, an interview with Stephen Marley that did not make it into the film and 20 minutes of people all around the world speaking about Marley and his music.
The film will be released theatrically, digitally and through video on demand simultaneously; a two-CD and three-LP soundtrack will be released April 17. There is no release date yet for the DVD.
While the film sticks closely to the story of Bob Marley's rise as reggae's first international superstar, Macdonald became involved only after he had assurances from the Marley family that he would be allowed to do the film he wanted. This authorized biography was first in the hands of Martin Scorsese, who could never fit it into his schedule, and then Jonathan Demme, who went down a path that the Marley's felt was inappropriate.
"I once made a film, about 10 years ago, with Mick Jagger," says Macdonald, a Scottish director known for documentaries and the much-lauded "The Last King of Scotland." "I followed him around for six months with a little camera. In the end his company was financing the movie and we disagreed about the cut. It was not a happy experience for me so I didn't want to get into that situation again. I was very clear and they were very clear that I would make the film I wanted to make. I would listen to what they have to say but I had to have editorial control."
Ziggy Marley, the first child of Bob and Rita Marley and the most visible musician with that iconic surname, backed up Macdonald's take on the process.
"On some stuff I gave my opinion, but Kevin override and I say OK because I trust Kevin," Ziggy Marley says. "He's a director, I'm not. I did my little part to get him access (to people in Jamaica).
"I'm a movie person. I know what makes a good movie is taking that ride -- laughter and the tears. When I saw the first cut, we were on the right track."
After viewing a three-hour cut of the movie that obviously needed to be trimmed, Marley recalls, "I said don't take out the sad stuff, because that's the stuff you really feel deep inside of you."
Macdonald set out to make a film that would inform the Marley children and grandchildren about Bob's life, which led to Billboard posing the question to Ziggy Marley about which stories he had never heard. One concerned his father's concern about his fair skin, the other about the song "Small Axe," which has long been seen as a song about taking down corrupt governments. In reality, it was about specific people in the Jamaican music industry.
"This film is not hearsay," Ziggy notes. "This is the real stuff here."

OLs bounced back to winning ways with a comfortable success over Shipston despite allowing the visitors to dominate territory for long periods of the first half.
OLs kicked off and gained a penalty within seconds of the start for offside, allowing stand-off Brad James to convert a long-range three-pointer.
The lead was shortlived as Shipston gained a penalty in front of the posts to bring the scores level.
The game continued to be played inside the OLs half with the home side displaying excellent defence but failing to convert good possession, when gained, into positive link-up play.
The home side did regain the lead when James converted a second penalty to provide another shortlived lead before Shipston's first-half dominance created a try to move them ahead.
The conversion attempt was wide and just when it looked as though the visitors would end the first half with a lead, the OL forwards gained the ball from a lineout inside the Shipston ten-metre zone and began a rolling maul that involved all of the forwards and quite a few of the backs.
It ended over the Shipston line with scrum-half Mark Foley touching down for a try that went unconverted but gave OLs an 11-8 interval lead.
The second half saw a complete transformation in OLs' play with the three-quarters being brought more into the game and some excellent flowing rugby keeping Shipston on the defensive.
Quicker ball from the hard-working forwards enabled the back line to move it at speed and three excellent tries were scored by Old Leamingtonians.
The first saw winger Ciaran O'Connor gather the ball wide out and outstrip the defence to touch down between the posts for a converted try.
The next backs try came courtesy of another smart move, with centre Simon Hemming touching down, again converted by James.
The bonus-point was the pick of the bunch with the overlapping Ryan Dee taking a pass from O'Connor on the left wing and evading three tacklers before touching down.
The conversion put OLs 30-8 up before Shipston scored a converted try on the stroke of full-time.
n Old Leamingtonians Ladies got back to winning ways thanks to a 19-7 success over Old Newtonians.
OLs struggled for rhythm in the first half and needed a try from outside-centre Shannon Lynch, converted by Dee Hardwick, to take them in at the break level.
However, they found another gear after the break and two quickfire tries from captain Jen Vermeulen, one converted, secured the victory.

In 2012, I added running to my fitness routine. In addition to training a few times a week, I actually ran in eight 5K races and often finished ahead of people half my age, though I had to spike their water to do so. I took up running because, while I am interested in the therapies we represent, I actually want to take as few of them as possible.
But what interests me as much as physical fitness is mental improvement, and specifically enhancements in skills that will help me be a better writer and marketer. This year, as part of a team, I wrote a website, and the intricacies of learning what it took to make it shine were fascinating to me. The adage you don't know what you don't know is more accurate than I dared imagine. It got me thinking.
What if each of us resolved to markedly improve just one skill this year that would help us, our teammates and our company?
For a writer like me, perhaps that skill is learning more about writing effectively in the digital space. Or developing a deeper understanding of the strategy that goes into making a campaign stand out. Or even conceiving new ways to harness my imagination for optimal concepting results. There's no shortage of things I'd love to learn or improve—it's probably the same for many of us—the key is to choose at least one and make it a priority. And when that improvement benefits us both inside and outside of work, I'd call that a happy accident!
I can envision an art teammate wanting to learn a new program and figuring out how it would make a presentation pop, or an account person wanting to learn about a totally new technology and how it would apply to healthcare marketing in a way that would make a client say, "Wow!" Technologies exist today that just a short time ago were unknown or unused, but are now staples. All it takes is interest, imagination, and some effort.
Learning new skills helps keep us fresh, relevant, interested…and interesting. Just envision the results if each of us committed to learning one new, meaningful skill that we could share with our colleagues and which could improve our performance or our company's ability to compete in the crowded, evolving pharmaceutical landscape. Wouldn't that be, well, neat?
So this year, while we make our resolutions to lose weight, eat better, laugh more, improve in 5K races without resorting to cheating (maybe that's just me), let's resolve to add something to our plate. Just one new skill that we can be proud of. Multiplied by the number of people with whom we work, that's a lot of new ideas and a fabulous way to blow past the competition without even breaking a sweat.
A happy and healthy new year to everyone.

Keeping Your American Dream Alive – a reporting strategy
The doors have opened and we apparently are rushing towards new immigration laws.
That's what Washington says.
But does Washington listen to the world of immigrants as you know it?
Does it see the faces, and hear the stories that you can tell? Will the changes match watch these people want and expect?
Experts say immigration reform will live or die in the next few months.
So, now seems the time to tell these stories about how immigration works and doesn't work.
You say you've told it many time before. Or that everybody knows it.
Well, the fact is that we all forget and there's nothing wrong with putting it together in a reporting campaign.
What kind of campaign?
Here's are several strategies.
One – You tell the stories about what is wrong with the system, but you put a face and a voice if possible on these problems.
The face of someone whose paperwork was lost in the bureaucracy, of someone whose wife was among the 1,100 deported nationally daily, of someone who paid $5,000 to a fake attorney or a notario claiming to solve their legal problems.
You tell us about the workers who live in the shadows where they are undepaid and abused. You let us see what it is like to abandon hopes step by step as many undocumented do until they have nothing to stand on.
You produce these stories one at a time; a voice, a face, an issue. And you let them run for the next few months.
Two – You take apart the political process, step by step. Your goal is to explain what is likely to happen and what is happening.
You look at who gives what money to what politicians – city, county, state, national – for or against immigration reform.
You measure – from what the politicians say – is the flow of voices and lobbying. Who is talking more? Who is exerting more influence?
You interview your folks in Congress and ask them to give you updates on how the process is working.
You seek out politicians on the other side of the reform issue and let them talk about their views, their scenarios and what they expect will happen.
Three – You translate what this means or will mean for people waiting for changes.
You look into the costs, the waiting time, and the legal difficulty of taking part in the reform if it passes.
You explain where to find legal help and how to make sure it is legitimate, cost efficient and accountable.
You point out the scams already targeting uninformed and unsuspecting immigrants.
You focus on the agencies that provide advise for immigrants, and let them explain what they see taking place.
You update the situation for those Dreamers and how the process is working for them.
You interview the federal officials with crucial roles in immigration policy today and report on how the process is working.
You update these reports in short, concise presentations as the political system churns on.
Four – You do not have the staff or the time or the energy to do all of this reporting.
So what do you do?
You rely on your audience, on your readers, your listeners, your followers.
You open up your websites to crowdsourcing or to bloggers who filters voices from the community. You partner with a community organization or a university's journalism or social work department and let them help you present these voices.
You monitor and skim what people say and produce a running account of the humanity that flows into your hands. You take advantage of the great concerns about the impact of these changes to let people share their thoughts one by one digitally in print or in audio or video.
You turn to groups like the Latino Policy Forum, whose recent workshop on immigration reform got me thinking about this, or the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR), asking them to help you chart the kind of stories that will cement your coverage.
Before you give up, talk to me. This is no time to sit back

As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
Ulrich is a German friend, who is of Scandinavian origins, and he is quite the gifted genius. He knows things and shares things, often about the things I natter on about here, that actually have a scientific or recorded background. What I am explaining here is the Holy Ghost reveals things to me, which are often times known by the ancients, and in this private conversation I notice things.
The thing about Ulrich though is he has a special gift in he can always inform me of things and never convey he knows more, as his knowledge is a gift and he is a true God given carrier. He is a remarkable person to understand so very much, and yet be so secure that he can teach in the manner Christ accomplished in everyone hearing the message, realizes how wonderful the message is.
I happened upon something called the Akashic Records, and as I enjoy learning and exploring, I began reading about them and found this:
The Sanskrit term akasha was introduced to the language of theosophy through H. P. Blavatsky (1831–1891), who characterized it as a sort of life force; she also referred to "indestructible tablets of the astral light" recording both the past and future of human thought and action, but she did not use the term "akashic"
The akashic record is like an immense photographic film, registering all the desires and earth experiences of our planet. Those who perceive it will see pictured thereon: The life experiences of every human being since time began, the reactions to experience of the entire animal kingdom, the aggregation of the thought-forms of a karmic nature (based on desire) of every human unit throughout time. Herein lies the great deception of the records. Only a trained occultist can distinguish between actual experience and those astral pictures created by imagination and keen desire.
When reading the first part, the revelation came to me, that is this is the matrix, in what I natter on about. It is fascinating to me that if I would be included in the above, as a set of three different people in three different ages, all arriving at the same explanation of that this energy is, and have the ability to read it, then it therefore exists in form.
What is interesting to me at this point, is the way God utilized me to change the time line to elect Donald Trump as President of America. I recall a dream record which ended with US Presidents after George W. Bush, and that tracked correct, but now we have by God's Grace, an American President in Donald Trump, which was not seen in the dream.
By God's Grace, I have changed time lines, and apparently created new time lines in His Will. I have by God's Grace lessened events, and set events back onto the schedule they were to appear.
I get no tablets in this, as what I feel and see as this entity is a living, pulsing elastic, nerve out there moving at light speed.....for those who have butchered game, the matrix feels to me like those small muscles on the front shoulder of a deer's leg.
Am wondering now if I should conduct an experiment with God's agreement to see if the puppets will dance.
Richard and Stephanie speak of the matrix in what it is. The wonder I have now is how long others have known of it and how it is utilized. It is like plasma thought programming.

The Section Assembly of the American Anthropological Association is outraged by the failure of the Ferguson and Staten Island grand juries to indict the police officers who killed Michael Brown and Eric Garner, and the dismissal of the case against the officer who killed 7 year old Aiyana Jones. In the hundred days since the murder of Michael Brown, police have also murdered 12 year old Tamir Rice, Ezell Ford, Darien Hunt, Aura Rain Rosser, Tanisha Anderson, Roshad McIntosh, Akai Gurley, Vonderitt Myers, and Rumain Brisbon, among others – all unarmed. These incidents reflect a blatant disregard for the value and dignity of their lives and the communities in which they live. These events are representative of a broader U.S. history of systematic anti-black violence, dating back to the enslavement, lynch laws, and the prison-industrial complex that affects black children, men, women and gender queer people.
As members of an academic discipline with the distinctive history of establishing the language and "science" of race, which has been used to justify settler colonialism and slavery, we understand the roots of this state violence. While U.S. ideologies hold that we are all equal under the law, this has never been the case, and in fact inequality has been structured into the justice system from the start, and is currently escalating via the militarization of local police forces.
To this end, we want the Executive Board of the American Anthropological Association to: 1) make a formal statement condemning these activities and structural conditions, 2) create a Task Force to explore issues related to racialized police brutality and extra-judicial violence; and 3) call on the U.S Justice Department to review the use of force by police and to make a commitment to working for the eradication of racism and racialized state violence.

SHAMED Adam Johnson has backed Ched Evans in a secret prison recording - blasting: "If she's too drunk to consent you get done for rape".
The ex-England ace said he felt sorry for fellow footballer Evans, who was cleared of rape at a retrial last year.
Paedo Johnson, 29, who is serving six years for sexual activity with a girl, 15, was filmed moaning about women getting drunk on nights out.
In a video inside jail, Johnson told a fellow lag: "If she's apparently (makes speech marks with fingers) too drunk to consent you're getting f***ing buried.
"People on nights out you know who've been p***ed, the girl's been p***ed, a bit like with Ched, what happened to Ched, where you can feel a bit for them (the offender).
"How many birds have you gone back with who've been p***ed, you've been p***ed, f*** them?
"If they say, 'I can't remember what happened' you're f***ed.
"D'you know what I mean? You get done for rape."
Evans, 28, was cleared of raping a 19-year-old woman following a retrial in October, last year.
The former Manchester City footballer already served half of a five-year prison sentence after he was originally convicted of the offence in 2012.
Evans always maintained his innocence from the very outset – saying the woman had invited him to "join in" a 4am romp with fellow footballer Clayton McDonald.
The striker, who fought a five year battle to clear his name, celebrated footie ace Joe Hart's 30th birthday bash in Manchester last weekend.
Evans was pictured arriving at the partner Natasha Massey at the party in Manchester on Easter Sunday.
The Sun revealed today how Johnson was filmed telling inmates he wishes he'd raped his victim.
Most read in news
In a video inside jail, a fellow lag points out that he did not commit rape.
Johnson laughs: "I wish I f***ing did for six year."
He also makes crude breast gestures about the girl. Sources say his hopes of release are now over.
The disgraced former Sunderland star told jurors at his trial he was "ashamed" of his actions.
But in a shocking video recorded behind bars by cons, defiant Johnson blamed his celebrity Premier League status for landing him in jail — and dismissed his crimes as "f*** all".
Asked by inmates what would have happened if he was "Joe Public", he said: "I would have got a caution at the police station. They might not even have charged."
The shock six-minute film, believed to have been filmed in the laundry room at HMP Moorland sparked an immediate investigation by prison chiefs.
Prisoner: "How long you got, six years int ya?"
Johnson: "Yeah."
Prisoner: "And you never even f***ed the bird?"
Johnson (laughing): "I didn't even get my c**k out."
Prisoner: "It's not like you f***ing raped her or owt like that?"
Johnson (laughing): "No, I wish I f***ing did for six year."
Johnson, who has a two-year-old daughter with his ex Stacey Flounders, then told how his victim used to wait for him with her "t**s out" when he played for Sunderland.
Johnson: "I was going to the home games like, you park your car in the car park and she was at my car every game right, waiting for me, just standing there like in all the gear and that... like tight jeans, little shirt, t**s out (makes crude gesture), not like skirts and that.
"Then after the game she was asking for pictures all the time.
"This went on for about six months and the next thing she says, 'Can you get us a signed shirt?' and uh... then she added me (on social media).
"I accepted her, got talking to her, I didn't, I didn't know, I just thought she was 17, 18.
"Got talking to her for a few weeks and then I met up with her and f***ing kissed her and..."
Prisoner: "Next thing you're doing a six stretch."
Johnson (laughing): "And there's lads on here who's f***ing shagged like 12-year-olds and got 13 months and that.
"D'you know what I mean? They got like half the time!"
The ex-England star is later asked if he will play professional football again when he gets out — but says his chances will be wrecked by "do-gooders".
Johnson: "I've got more chance abroad. You can't get a second chance in England man.
"All them do-gooders they'll come out and say, 'Nah he can't play and all this, he's done this'."
He then lashes out at his victim's family — accusing them of only pursuing the case because he was famous.
Prisoner: "If you were Joe Public, you wouldn't have gone to jail."
Johnson: "I would have got a caution at the police station. They might not even have charged… If I wasn't who I was, he (the girl's dad) wouldn't have gone to the police station. I didn't even get me c**k out or f*** all."
Johnson has lost an appeal against his sentence as well as his conviction for sexually abusing the girl — but says it would have been different if he was "Joe Public".
Johnson: "He'd get off but because it's me he won't... that's what I'm saying. People think I'm getting special treatment. I get treated actually less."
He was jailed in March 2016 after a three-week trial where he admitted one charge of grooming and one of sexual activity with a child. He was also convicted of a third charge of sexual touching.
The court heard how he demanded nude photos of his victim, who was 14 when they met.
Det Insp Aelfwynn Sampson said at the time: "Johnson exploited his position as a local hero to take advantage of a young and impressionable girl.
"From the start of their contact, he knew full well that she had just turned 15 and yet this did not stop him. He no doubt thought that he would get away it."
Johnson repeatedly told jurors at his trial that he was "ashamed" and felt "awful", grovelling: "I wholeheartedly and unreservedly apologise for my actions."
But sources said his comments in the South Yorkshire jail were likely to crush his hopes of a switch to a cushy open prison.
They claimed it could also damage any later attempts to secure an early release.
Justice campaigners have blasted Johnson for his "appalling" lack of remorse — and said his comments could stop other victims from coming forward.
An NSPCC spokesman said: "What part of 'age of consent' does Johnson not get? To make it crystal clear to him: adults can't have sex with children.
"His lack of remorse for sexual activity with a child is appalling and shows utter contempt for his victim."
Claire Waxman, of Voice4Victims, added: "These victim-blaming comments minimise the appalling crimes of rape and child grooming and can trigger trauma for victims."
Lauren Seager-Smith, CEO of Kidscape, said: "There are still a lot of men out there who think if a woman is drunk and wearing certain clothes she is fair game and we have to smash through that."
Barnardo's chief Javed Khan added: "Victims are never to blame, regardless of what they wear or what they have drunk. Convicted offenders are always at fault, whether or not they are famous.
"We want other victims of child sexual abuse to have the confidence to come forward."
Asked about the video, Johnson's dad Dave said: "Whatever this shows it can't hurt him any more than he's already been hurt.
"However this has been made it is illegal and I'll be contacting our lawyers about it."
The Prison Service did not comment.

ADAM Johnson's latest comments expose his claims of sorrow and regret as calculated lies.
At his trial last year, he told jurors he felt "shame and remorse" over his conduct with the 15-year- old girl, and "wholeheartedly apologised for the stupidity" of his actions.
He told Bradford crown court: "She was blameless and could not have consented. It was all my fault. She was a child and should have been safe in my company.
"My behaviour was wholly unacceptable."
Prosecutors blasted him for not pleading guilty at an earlier hearing.
Johnson twice tried to appeal his conviction. His lawyers argued jurors would assume Johnson's reason for delaying his guilty pleas was partly that he lacked remorse.
His legal team insisted that the star was contrite.
But both appeals were rejected by judges.
And our explosive video now reveals him as an arrogant liar.
Speaking to his cellmates, Johnson's true contempt for his victim and the justice system spill out as he moans about getting stitched up by a money grabber.
THE shocking footage is likely to end Johnson's chances of an early switch to a cushy open jail.
He has so far served a year of his six-year term.
As a first-time offender, he would have expected to be considered for a move to open conditions in the coming months.
Once there cons enjoy more freedom, with no lock-up times and the chance to land day- release jobs.
But jail chiefs will not be impressed by his latest brag. One key part of the decision covers whether inmates "understand how their actions affected the victims of their crimes".
Under existing rules Johnson will be released after three years and serve the remaining sentence on licence.
But inmates can leave even earlier on a tag if bosses decide they are not a risk to the public.

Successes and failures of Vatican II could help shape better Vatican III
RITE & REASON:It is right we celebrate the last Vatican council but there were significant failings also, writes GERARD MOLONEY
NEXT THURSDAY marks a momentous anniversary for the Roman Catholic Church as 50 years ago, October 11th, 1962, the opening session of the Second Vatican Council began.
Bishops gathered to consider the great issues affecting the church. Nothing would be quite the same again. It is still difficult to credit the impact and scale of the council's achievements.
To have lived through that period of change and hope must have been extraordinarily exciting. It was a good time to be alive and to be Catholic.
The council's successes were numerous. For many Catholics the changes in the liturgy were the most immediate and striking. There was the truly profound change in the understanding of Baptism; that by virtue of the sacrament all the people of God share a common responsibility to preach the Gospel.
There was the opening up of the church to the world. Just as at Mass the priest now turned to face the people, so now a confident church turned to face and embrace all of humanity. It led to a new relationship with other Christian churches and with other religions, a recognition that salvation was possible outside the Catholic Church, as well as to a new emphasis on scripture.
The model of church changed also – from a pyramid model with the pope on top and the laity at the bottom, to a circular model, with a more interdependent set of relationships. So parish councils and conferences of bishops and synods of bishops were put in place. The old church triumphant redesignated itself as a pilgrim church, journeying on the way.
Fifty years on, it is right that we celebrate the many insights and achievements of Vatican II but it is clear that there were significant failings also. The council didn't address adequately major issues around sexual morality, especially contraception, second unions and homosexuality, which have become a source of increasing division within the church.
It failed to address the problem of clericalism and clerical culture, now brought into sharp relief by the sex abuse scandals.
The church failed to put into practice the principle of subsidiarity – in other words, to devolve power to local churches and not centralise everything in Rome. And so there was a failure of collegiality and a failure to give any real voice or authority, not only to lay people and clergy, but also even to local conferences of bishops.
Significant too has been the push back from the spirit and reforms of the council. Those who opposed or resented the council and its teachings have been busy conducting a "reform of the reform". So we are witnessing an increasing Latinisation of the liturgy. The new translation of the missal is a move in that direction. As is the accommodation of those who support the Tridentine Mass, and the increasing obsession of certain clerics with silken garments and pompous rituals.
Perhaps even more disturbing has been the trend among some clergymen to turn inward. Just as they now revert, or want to revert, to saying Mass with backs turned to the people, so also they envisage a smaller, purer church that has its back turned firmly on the world, engaging with it only in opposition.
Bishops meet in Rome again this month for a general assembly to discuss "new evangelisation".
It will be a sombre affair. The landscape of the church is very different from that of 1962. The shortage of priests, the collapse in church attendance and religious vocations, the abuse crisis, the disconnection between official teaching on marriage and sexuality and what many Catholics believe, the alienation of many women and young people from the church, are problems that are becoming ever more acute.
Some would say only a new council can address how the church is governed, how the priest shortage can be met and how the church's teachings and rituals can speak meaningfully to the secular culture of today.

May 26, 2019 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
13th July 2015
With Apple's new payment system rumoured to launch this week – possibly as early as Tuesday 14 July – research shows the new technology could see consumers' spending habits spiral out of control.
Apple Pay™ will allow shoppers to make contactless payments with their iPhone 6, 6 Plus and Apple Watch. At launch more than 250,000 locations will accept the system.
While the technology is welcomed by those hoping for a simpler, easier and faster way of paying, a survey from price comparison site uSwitch.com found that a quarter of people fear that using their phone instead of cards and cash will see them spend more. In addition, a similar amount expect it might drive them to make more impulse purchases.
READ MORE: Will Apple Pay™ be a "game changer"?
The study found that consumers are after extra features to help them keep a handle on their spending, such as the ability to check their balance and a cap on 'tap and go' payments being part of mobile payments. Some 10% would like limits on when and where they can use mobile phone payments – such as the time of day and in pubs and clubs. Worryingly though, a quarter fear no other tools will help them stay in control of their finances.
Given the size and brand power behind Apple, unsurprising 26% said they would feel more comfortable about using mobile payments with the Californian giant behind the technology.
But, despite the power of the brand, it does not seem that even Apple Pay will be the final nail in the coffin for old-fashioned cash – almost six in 10 consumers, at 57%, are not comfortable with using their mobile phone to pay for goods or services. And despite the fact that – in theory at least – Apple Pay is a safer way of paying than cash and cards, according to uSwitch, fears over the technology's security, as cited by 45% of respondents, are still topping the list of concerns.
Commenting on the study's results Nicolas Frankcom, money expert at uSwitch.com, said: "It's great to see technology making shopping simpler, but the convenience of tap and pay may have a sting in its tail. As payment becomes simpler and more detached, there's a danger that debt problems could worsen.
"Our research shows that a quarter of consumers fear they'll spend more money than intended if they use their phone rather than cash or a card to pay. One in ten would even welcome limits on where and when they can use mobile phone payments to help curb impulse spending."

"We Pay People Based On The Work They Do": The Gap Pays Men & Women Equally
The gender pay gap that ravages our workforce ceases to exist at a major retailer ironically called The Gap, ThinkProgress reports.
Women, on average, earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. For women of color, that figure plummets to 64 cents for every dollar a man earns. Granted, nearly half of the pay disparity can be attributed to women's different choices in occupations, which are usually lower paying compared to their male counterparts. And another 10 percent can be blamed on differences in work experience.
But "economists cannot explain the remaining 40 percent of the wage gap between men and women," according to American Progress, even when controlling for job differences, experience, and education level. American Progress points a finger at America's institutions for its unwillingness to budge on equal pay for both men and women.
The Gap, though, is an exception.
"We pay dollar for dollar across the organization, regardless of level," a Gap Inc. spokeswoman told ThinkProgress. "[O]n average, women at Gap Inc. are paid at a one-to-one ratio compared to their male counterparts across our organization."
And when it comes to ladies in leadership, The Gap is an anomaly as women are well-represented in high-ranking roles. Women make up 70 percent of store managers, 60 percent of directors, 50 percent of vice presidents, and 47 percent of executive vice president. By comparison, among America's top companies, only 46 percent of store managers are women, only 39 percent are directors, and less than one-third are VPs and EVPs.
"We pay people based on the work they do and the value they bring to our company," the spokeswoman added.
The retail industry is no angel when it comes to gender pay discrimination. On average, women in retail make 72 percent of what their male counterparts earn. Saleswomen, ThinkProgress adds, make $4 less an hour than men. "Women also hold the majority of low-wage retail workers."
This isn't the first time The Gap has made significant moves for fair compensation. Just last February, the multinational clothing retailer hiked up their lowest minimum wage to $10 an hour. "Our decision to invest in frontline employees will directly support our business, and is one that we expect to deliver a return many times over," Gap Chairman and CEO Glenn Murphy said.
As progress in closing the pay gap has stagnated over the past decade (women made $704 a week in 2013, the same as 2004), it's noble that The Gap is being conscious about providing equal pay and opportunities for women.

Christmas Mouse Days 6 and 7
Friday morning, my kids found Monty nestled on the shelf next to the sugar bucket, wearing a Santa hat and bringing with him a pouch marked "magic seeds"
After school, we planted the seeds in a bowl of sugar.
It had been a long day, so I chose a super simple assignment - this morning they got to hunt for candy canes.
I didn't take any pictures of them searching. My house is kind of a mess. haha!
Until next time!

Everyone knew going into this season that the Canucks would be hard pressed to produce offence at even strength. Perhaps nobody knew more so than the Canucks themselves.
Combined with their general inability to generate positive shot differentials, Vancouver was always bound to a path less travelled if their destination was the post-season. That means playing to a tie at evens on most nights and putting the game away on special teams. There's a large element of luck involved therein, but such is life for the league's have-nots.
The Canucks penalty kill has, mostly, been a strength under Head Coach Willie Desjardins. His power play perhaps less so. Last season they finished 26th in the league in conversion rate. This season they're ranked 28th.
At this rate, USA TODAY's 65 point prediction is optimistic. If the Canucks can't fix their power play, that is.
They're not generating enough shots as a team, and even fewer that threaten on a consistent basis. Part of that is personnel. And if you're looking at a Canucks power play that features the Sedin twins, Loui Eriksson, Brandon Sutter and Philip Larsen, it's not particularly difficult to find the weakest link.
The Canucks are generating shot attempts at a half-decent rate with Larsen. Hell, they're even generating unblocked shot attempts and shots in general at a better rate with Larsen on the ice than without him. If one were to look solely at the numbers, Larsen would flesh out as having a genuinely positive impact on the Canucks' shot rates, which is important, because those are a better indicator of long-term success with the man advantage than goals.
Wherein the problem lies is the distance of the shots. On average, Larsen is launching pucks 50-feet from the opposition net. A quick glance at the players in that range reveals a venerable murderers row of the league's best trigger-men. In fact, it's not even generally low relative to power play quarterbacks leaguewide.
If you can sling the puck like Shea Weber, that's not an issue. Larsen isn't Weber, though. He doesn't have a particularly strong shot, and he's not even all that proficient at getting it on net. Which is especially concerning when one looks at the percentage of shots Larsen is responsible for on the Canucks' first unit.
That's not so bad, right? Well, peel the onion back another layer and the discolouration becomes increasingly stark.
We all knew the plan going into this season was for Larsen to run the Canucks' power play from the point. I didn't think that would entail running more than 50% of their attempted shots through Larsen. All of which are coming from the least dangerous regions of the offensive zone. That goes a long way towards explaining the Canucks standing as the league's 10th worst team by scoring chance generation.
Looked at in the context of the big picture, it does beg the question as to why the Canucks felt secure in handing the keys to their power play to Larsen. He's an apt puck mover, and there hasn't been a noticeable drop in their ability to move the puck from Alex Edler last season to Larsen in this one. By that same token, we're talking about a player who's never scored more than a single power play goal in a season; a player who's shot four-and-a-half percent over the course of his career.
That's much more on the coaching staff than the player, though. Larsen's never been a power play quarterback at the NHL level and nothing in his first stay in the NHL indicated he was capable of handling that role. There's a place for Larsen on an NHL team's power play. I don't know if the Canucks have him in that space, though. Larsen is much more puck mover than a shooter, and the Canucks have him attempting more than half of their shots with the man advantage.
And even if he had the shot to fulfil that role, it's so predictable at this stage that teams have clued in and invested a disproportionate amount of their manpower to blocking his shots with the man advantage. Which places the onus firmly on the Canucks' shoulders to adjust their scheme.
To the Canucks credit, they took their first step towards that end on Saturday. Down a few with nothing to lose, the Canucks altered their first unit to include Troy Stecher alongside Larsen. That was noteworthy for a number of reasons, but most especially because the Canucks had been running a four forward, one defenceman unit to that point in the season.
It also forced them to break from their traditionally ascribed to 1-3-1 formation. Which looks a little something like this:
The advantages to running a system of this ilk are immediately apparent. If you're going to run your power play through the point, it forces at least two men into the middle of the ice, or in the case of this still three. That turns the perimeter into a tariff-free zone, where the trigger men can pass among themselves with relative impunity.
Of course, the pratfalls of this system are equally obvious. Good luck getting the puck to the middle of the ice where shots are most dangerous. Further to that end, just getting pucks through can be an onerous task in and of itself — something the Canucks realize all too well this season.
There isn't any one size fits all way to run a power play. Where I take umbrage with the Canucks current setup though is that it takes the onus of finishing out of their best players hands and tries to generate the majority of its offence from a point man who hasn't really demonstrated to this stage in his career that he's capable of doing that. Particularly not in the context of their scheme.
When the Canucks started to integrate Stecher into their first unit, you could see them shifting their philosophy accordingly, though. They began to run more of an overload system, which looks like this:
Similar to the 1-3-1, an overload system relies heavily on a strong net-front presence. Dissimilar to the 1-3-1, that net front presence has a lot more freedom in the offensive zone. The F1 (or the foremost forward in the offensive zone) doesn't necessarily have to act as a screen. Puck retrieval, especially in the form of rebounds, is just as important.
This system opens up the most dangerous areas of the offensive zone but places a heavier burden on the trigger men to be quick in their decision-making. Running an overload system often relies on the five-man unit operating in a sort of rotation to try and create holes and find passing lanes. It's a puck possession oriented approach that requires quick puck movement, strong coordination and patience.
If one were to focus on the first unit entirely, this scheme appears best suited to their players individual skills. Eriksson isn't shy of the net, and the Sedins have as strong a cycle game as any pair of forwards in the league. Of course, this might force Sutter from the first unit. He's not a particularly strong offensive puck possession type player.
But the needs of the many outweigh those of the few, and the Sedins desperately need to be placed in a situation where they can best utilize their skills. I just don't see that from the Canucks' current setup. If they keep moving towards an overload system that emphasises quick puck movement, I'd expect improvement to follow not long thereafter.
It's not like they have anything to lose at this stage trying as much.
