The elves over at Google Labs have emerged once again with yet another interesting information experience--Google Fast Flip, which they announced on Monday on the Official Google Blog. Fast Flip was designed to address one of the nagging problems of using the Web as a news source: when trying to browse quickly through several news sites to get up to date on what's happening, many users, including those with "fast" Internet connections, find that it takes too long to load all of the content and pop-up laden webpages of the major newspapers and magazines. Thus, users in search of an informative web experience get a frustrating one instead.
Google News was a huge step in delivering news content in a digestible web format. It was, however, more of an aggregated digest of content; it didn't provide an information experience like rapidly flipping through all of the magazines in the dentist's office, which seems to be the experiential model Google had in mind as it designed and built Fast Flip. Before Monday, skimming quickly through the major online news sources was like trying to run in flip flops. Google has built fast flip flops.
At launch, Fast Flip had about 40 newspapers and magazines on board, including the usual suspects – NY Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, Business Week – as well as a couple I didn't know existed. I cannot claim that Veranda is on my must-read list, but, if I'm ever looking for a recipe for deviled quail eggs with capers, I'll caper on over there.
Flip Flop's content is all English language material at this point, but BBC News is in the fold already, and Google promises to work on gathering content in languages other than English.
When viewing the Fast Flip browser, users see a series of thumbnail images of newsy webpages that have been grouped into broad clusters like "popular", "sections", "topics", and "sources". In turn, each broad cluster is broken up into subsections. The Popular cluster, for example, is broken down into "Headlines", "Most Viewed", "Recent", and "Recommended". Exactly how a "Popular" webpage gets chucked into the "Recommended" subsection is part of Google's secret sauce.
Though Fast Flip gives you the ability to customize the content, organization, and presentation of its offerings, utilizing this feature remains fuzzy to me. There is a little "sign in" link lurking in the upper right corner of the homepage. When I clicked on it, I was presented with the standard Google account login box along with the following information and disclaimers: "Fast Flip uses Google Accounts for Sign In. Google is not affiliated with the contents of Fast Flip or its owners. If you sign in, Google will share your email address with Fast Flip, but not your password or any other personal information. Fast Flip may use your email address to personalize your experience on their website." So it seems that personalization may be a collaborative effort involving myself, Google, and the Fast Flip content owners. Think of it as your personalization team, which may make personal trainers passé.
Google and the Fast Flip publishers are in this to make money, and they plan to do it through ad revenues (surprise, surprise). Here's how the official announcement explained their plan: "These partners will share the revenue earned from contextually relevant ads. This gives publishers an opportunity to introduce new readers to their content. It also tests our theory that being able to read articles faster means people will read more of them, driving more ad revenue to publishers."
Does Fast Flip offer any lessons for libraries? You betcha. First, we need an institution like Google Labs, with some money and bright people. For awhile OCLC seemed to want to be a Library Lab, among other things, but I have a vague sense that goal has been put on the back burner.
Second, the ancient methods of humans browsing for information are getting an extreme makeover. No more crick in the neck from leaning in to read the spine labels of books on a shelf. Browsing is often what people do in physical libraries, but I'm not really sure that librarians have taken browsing seriously as an information experience in its own right and as a way to dip into a bigger pool of information.
Back in 1995, Marty Kurth and I compiled an annotated bibliography about browsing in a wide variety of information systems. It was published by Ed Wall as Volume 10 of Library Hi Tech Bibliography. Fifteen years later, I remember two distinct things about that whole project. The first is that the processes of human information browsing are much more complex than they seem pre-reflectively. The second is that the prospects for online browsing are much richer than browsing through a print collection. Google seems to be taking browsing seriously, designing information systems that enable and encourage rapid online browsing. Libraries need to take browsing seriously.
A third lesson to be learned revolves around the fact that a mobile version of Fast Flip was available at launch. Granted, the app is available currently only for iPhones and Android devices, but the folks at Google Labs saw the mobile app as mission critical, so they didn't launch the service until they had one.
A fourth lesson for libraries and publishers is that this rapid online browsing experience is all about the web content. Print isn't really part of the equation anymore. Having said that, I noticed that much of the content being made available wasn't very attractive to a Fast Flip browser. Many of the headlines were too small to read at a glance. Google solved that little problem by inserting the title below the thumbnail image. I can imagine many a Fast Flip content provider scrambling now to make their web content much more Fast Flippable.
Two cheers for Marshall McLuhan. The medium is at least part of the message, and part of the information experience.

This Volunteer of the Month award goes to Stuart Feldman. Thank you Stuart for being such an important member of the G.A.L.A. Community. Your hard work and commitment and hugely appreciated!!
Many of your have probably seen Stuart and Diana at the Wolfeboro Area Farmers' Market busy helping vendors unload their goods and setup tents. Both have been volunteering at the market for the last two years. Stuart has also been a key ingredient of the Fender Blender, not only serving smoothies at the Farmer's Market, but also helping to harvest the blueberries (pictured here) that are used in these scrumptious bike-blended beverages.
Conveniently, Stuart and Diana live up the road from G.A.L.A.'s office at the Ossipee Mt. Grange Hall located in Water Village, Ossipee. Stuart checks-in every once in awhile to see what is on the office "wish-list." Last week Stuart arrived with two staplers and bag of dry-erase markers – exactly what G.A.L.A. was looking for! These in-kind contributions really add up and help G.A.LA. save limited resources for other mission aligned projects.
The next time you see Stuart at the farmers' market be sure to thank him for all he does to help make G.A.L.A. as success! Thank you Stuart!

Taking a boat trip around the island is one of the most unforgettable experiences you can have on Capri. Here are the different types of boats available for rentals and charters on Capri, with or without a skipper. Under each category of boat, you'll find tours and special offers you can book online.

Renting or Chartering a Boat on Capri: More Information
- Do I need a boating license to rent a boat on Capri?
- There are certain categories of boats, including a dingy or small lancia, which can be rented without a boating license. However, if you have never navigated a boat before, it's best to opt for a rental with skipper.
- Are there less expensive alternatives than renting a private boat for a tour?
- Yes, you can take an organized group boat tour. Tickets cost less than EUR 20 per person, the tour takes about 2 hours, and there is a stop to visit the Blue Grotto (you must purchase your ticket separately). The companies which offer these group tours are Laser and Motoscafisti.
- Visiting the Blue Grotto
- During your boat tour, you can arrange to stop at the Blue Grotto. Unfortunately, the grotto is not always open as the cave mouth is only a meter above sea level, so the sea must be calm to allow visitors to pass through safely. You will have to transfer to one of the small rowboats which transport passengers inside the cave from your rental boat, and lie back to pass through. Tickets to the Grotto cost EUR 13 and in high season there is often a long wait to enter.
- If you have rented a boat without a skipper, you can anchor your boat to one of the buoys outside the cave entrance and wait for a rowboat to come and pick you up.
- Visiting the Blue Grotto
- Can I rent a boat to transfer between Capri and Positano or Amalfi?
- Of course! There are a number of boat rental companies which offer tours of Capri or the Amalfi Coast with departures from the island and arrivals on the mainland, or viceversa. A large gozzo or speedboat is always used for these tour-transfers.
- Renting a Boat in Positano or on the Amalfi Coast
- Where do I rent a boat?
- Almost all the boat rental companies on Capri are located in Marina Grande near the port and marina. There is just one company located in Marina Piccola on the southern coast of the island.

Canine Multi-focal Retinopathy (CMR) is a recently identified recessively inherited eye disease. The condition observed at an ophthalmologist's exam includes numerous distinct (i.e. multi-focal), roughly circular patches of elevated retina with accumulation of material that produces gray-tan-pink colored lesions. These lesions, looking somewhat like blisters, vary in location and size, although typically they are present in both eyes of the affected dog.
The disease generally develops in young dogs before 4 months and might progress slowly, might appear to heal, or might even appear and then go away again. Some dogs affected with CMR do not show clinical symptoms of disease until later in life. Most dogs exhibit no noticeable problem with vision despite their abnormal appearing retinas. And in almost all cases, CMR does not progress significantly over time. The lesions in the Coton de Tulear are often more serious and seem to remain longer than in some of the other CMR-affected breeds. In rare severe cases, the clinical diagnosis could be confused with progressive retinal atrophy (PRA).
There is no cure or treatment for CMR. Prevention is important.
Test method
The OptiGen® CMR test is a DNA-based test that accurately diagnoses CMR. The test also detects CARRIERS of this condition and clears dogs that are genetically NORMAL.
The CMR test is done on a small sample of blood obtained by your veterinarian. This allows the lowest risk of contamination of the sample and added assurance of a match of the sample with the identified dog.
The test application form can be found at:
Genetic/breeder information
The genetic test for CMR is valuable for identifying the cause of a retinal deformation. Given the exact genetic diagnosis, the owner can be reassured that there probably will be little or no vision loss due to this condition. All the same, future cases of the condition can be prevented using the CMR test as an information tool for breeding.
Due to the abnormal appearance of the CMR-affected retina, CERF, ACVO, ECVO and other ophthalmologist's eye exam reports typically record these multi-focal lesions as "retinal dysplasia" or "retinal folds", to denote a defect in formation of the retina. Such findings might disqualify the dog from breeding. Presently CERF doesn't list CMR as a specific condition, but does fail a dog for "retinal dysplasia/retinopathy – folds, detached."
Our current understanding is that CMR is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. This means the gene mutation responsible for CMR is located on an autosome (that is, a chromosome that is not a sex chromosome) and CMR disease results when the gene mutation is passed to the offspring by both the mother and the father.
Stats within CdT breed
The exact frequency of this disease, and of the gene mutation causing it, are not known as yet. Data accumulated through genetic testing will help to provide that information.

Reading my posts NAV ALM with Team Foundation Server | Branch Strategy and NAV ALM with Team Foundation Server | Merge Strategy you probably have been thinking: "Thanks and well done Luc, but doesn't sound like NAV specific."You're totally right! The setups I discussed there are totally product independent; and these are only three of them. You might even study the wider range of setups discussed in the Branching and Merging Guide by the Visual Studio ALM Rangers and choose (or conceive) one that fits your needs better.
Now the logical question following would be: "Aren't there any NAV specific matters to consider?"Sure there are, such as:
In this post I am going to elaborate on how you could incorporate NAV standard in case you are developing a product for a local market (bullets 1 and 2). In later posts I might pay attention to the more broader picture of the third and fourth bullets.
So your add-on is being developed for a local market in, let's say, the Netherlands (NL), meaning your code is added to NAVNL. Partly new objects and partly customized NAVNL objects.Therefor we need a container to hold the NAVNL code (NAV/main) which we branch to our add-on (add-on/main):
To this add-on branch we will apply a strategy as discussed in NAV ALM with Team Foundation Server | Branch Strategy.The schematic TFS structure would then look as follows:
Applicable hotfixes issued by MS will first be checked-in into NAV/main from where it will be integrated into the add-on:
In the different development setups I have been working so far I have implemented a number of extra layers, which more or less results in a structure as displayed below:

The online casino market is pretty diverse in 2016 and players have more choices and freedom with regards to their online casino options. Recently, we have been examining casinos that let you pay by mobile.
This modern method of payment is proving popular due to the benefits that it provides for players. Pay by mobile casinos let players make deposits by charging the outstanding balance to their mobile phone bill instead of a debit or credit card.
Pay by mobile is proving a popular method for depositing for many players that are wary of security when using the internet. The method eliminates the need for players to use a debit or credit card which will benefit mobile players looking to make deposits on the move. Pay by mobile is becoming increasingly popular with most online casinos offering at least one pay by mobile method. Choosing the right online casino can be tricky as there are many factors to consider. Different players play for different reasons but we think that the promotional offers on a site plays a huge role so we thought we would take a look at the kinds of offers that you can expect from a pay by mobile casino.
Common Promotions on a Pay by Mobile Casino
As with every casino, different sites will offer different promotions. The first thing to consider before selecting a pay by mobile casino is the welcome offer. The welcome offer is often the first thing that a player can redeem on an online casino. These vary massively in what they offer and we have seen many pay by mobile casinos offering some great welcome packages. We found that the most common offerings were a first deposit bonus and some free spins on certain games.
For the first deposit bonus, we found that a lot of pay by mobile casinos offered anything from 100% up to around 500% in most cases. Most of these sites will require a £10 deposit minimum to receive the bonus funds. Free spins are also pretty common with them being offered so that players can try out some of the games on the site before having to make that all-important initial deposit.
The regular promotions list is next and yet again, different sites will offer different incentives. The bigger online casinos such as Paddy Power and Coral have massive promotions lists but there are plenty of benefits to using some of the smaller pay by mobile casinos. The key is to find the right balance between pay by mobile options and promotional offers. Some players will want to play table games whereas slot lovers will benefit from a site that continually offers free spins to players.
Overall, the power is with the player when choosing a pay by mobile casino. With so many sites vying for your hard-earned cash, the key is to take the time to find the site that fits your playstyle. Then you once you have decided you can drive in and begin playing!

Lady Gaga flaunts bikini body in Mexico
She gained 30 pounds, then she got a surgery, but now Lady Gaga is almost back in shape. The 27-year-old singer is probably on diet these days and it shows. Of course she has a few more pounds to drop on her mid section, but she's on the good way in this matter.
The troubled singer was spotted by the poll in Mexico this week with some friends. She was wearing a sexy floral bikini.
"I don't really care if [people] think I'm fat, because, quite honestly, I did gain about 30 pounds", she told Stylist Magazine last year. But she did care after all. Otherwise, why did she put her body on a diet.

The Boston Red Sox needed a strong bullpen performance Thursday night against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. In 10 innings they had left 13 men on base.
Luckily, a strong performance is exactly what they got.
The Red Sox relief trio of Daniel Bard, Bobby Jenks and Jonathan Papelbon combined to allow just a bunt-single through the final three innings, holding down a 4-2 Red Sox win over the Angels in 11 innings. Jenks picked up his first win of the season after throwing a perfect 10th inning. Papelbon struck out Angels second baseman and primary power threat Howie Kendrick with a runner on second to pick up his fourth save.
Gonzalez Wins it in the 11th; Red Sox Squander Other Chances
The Red Sox broke open a 2-2 tie in the top of the eleventh. After J.D. Drew walked (one of two) and took third on a Dustin Pedroia (3-4, two walks) single to right, Adrian Gonzalez (2-5, walk) drove him in with a double to right that got past right fielder Torii Hunter and rolled to the wall. Jed Lowrie made it 4-2 Red Sox by driving in Pedroia with a sacrifice fly. During the previous at-bat, Pedroia had eluded a tag during a rundown.
The Red Sox had no trouble getting men on base Thursday night; it was getting them home that proved nearly impossible. Through 10 innings, Boston managed just one hit with runners in scoring position: a two-run single by Jacoby Ellsbury in the top of the sixth off Angels starter Tyler Chatwood (six innings, two runs, six hits, five walks, three strikeouts) for the 2-0 lead.
That lead was erased when starter Josh Beckett (eight innings, two runs, three hits, two walks, five strikeouts) finally tired in the bottom of the seventh (through five innings, Beckett did not allow a hit) and allowed a two-run home run to Hunter, tying the game 2-2. It was a lone flat breaking ball on a night of otherwise sharp pitches. Beckett continues to dominate, even if the win-loss record doesn't reflect it.
The Red Sox went 2-18 with runners in scoring position Thursday. They had eight multi-runner innings, but only capitalized twice (the sixth and the 11th). In the eighth, they had the bases loaded with only one out, but Drew struck out and Pedroia popped out to second to end the threat.
In the seventh, Drew and Pedroia reached on walks to start the inning, but Gonzalez popped out, followed by two strikeouts.
Youkilis Exits After First Inning with Bruised Left Shin
After Pedroia and Gonzalez reached on consecutive singles up the middle in the first, Kevin Youkilis waged a 10-pitch battle with Chatwood before grounding into a double-play. During the at-bat, Youkilis fouled four pitches off his leg and foot. Before the second inning, Youkilis came out of the game. Dugout cameras showed a significant bruise on his left shin.
Lowrie moved to third once Youkilis left, with Marco Scutaro taking over at shortstop. Scutaro went 0-3 with runners in scoring, but made a nifty play in the bottom of the ninth, sliding gracefully to stop a ball hit up the middle, getting up quickly and firing to first for the out.
The Red Sox continue to struggle with runners left on base. They average over six stranded per game. The pitching – both starting and relief – seems to be figuring itself out. But unless the offense can back them up with actual runs, eventually every pitcher will falter.
The Red Sox got lucky Thursday night. The Angels squandered as many chances as the Red Sox did (Drew's strong through to Pedroia helped gun down shortstop Erick Aybar's attempted triple in the bottom of the eighth). In the future, Boston might not be so lucky.

The flowerbed on the south side of the house is a sorely neglected area much to my dismay. We have been fortunate to have very loamy soil in most areas making weeding and gardening an easy job. But not here. The weeds were getting out of hand and it was time to get to cleaning but I needed to wet the soil down some. Time to set up the ol' sprinkler!
We're supposed to get some drenching this weekend but it won't be coming from the sprinkler. A good way to end the month I must say.
Have a glorious weekend~

Purchasing Managers' Indices (PMI) are those economic indicators that are derived from monthly (or periodical) surveys of private sector firms. They provide the future trends well in advance to the Government's statistics and hence, are comparable and credible.
The Flash Manufacturing PMI is provided for a country and utilizes about 85% of the total PMI responses for surveys per month. The flash Manufacturing PMI is usually an accurate indicator of the economic situation of the private manufacturing sector.
PMI can be explained as a type of survey developed to track business conditions in the manufacturing sector. Now a day, it is also used for surveys done in the services, construction and other private sector companies.
The PMI is given by two groups, Markit Group and Institute for Supply Management (ISM), where Markit Group produces indices for more than 30 counties and ISM provides PMIs for US companies.
For example, the Markit Europe Sector PMI is derived from surveys of about 6500 companies in 11 countries such as Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain, Poland and United Kingdom. After the global PMI is announced every month, the Europe EMI is also released.
The PMI index is derived using surveys consisting of questionnaires about different variables i.e. Output, books, prices, inventories and employment.
This index is usually provided for 8 major industries namely, basic materials, consumer goods and services, healthcare, finance, industrials and technology. 26 Sub indices of these major groups are also provided.
- This index acts as a powerful tool for the business analysts and decision makers for monitoring the business cycles industry- wise
- Sector trends are tracked and relative performance between sectors can be determined and key growth indicators can be identified
-Comparison with Government released statistics to observe accuracy of the PMI index
The graph shows how the Flash Manufacturing PMI is closely related to GDP. The index varies between 0 and 100 with any value above 50 indicating economic growth. The greater the divergence from 50, the greater is the rate of change compared to the previous month.
The Flash Manufacturing PMI gives the estimate of 85% of the total PMI responses of different sectors every month.
Hence, this concludes the definition of Flash Manufacturing PMI along with its overview.

Saint Laurent RTW Spring 2018 Collection at PFW
Paris Fashion Week got the most spectacular opening thanks to Saint Laurent. Anthony Vaccarello is not only the creative director of the luxury fashion house, but he lives and breathes Saint Laurent. This innovative genius staged the most astonishing show for Spring 2018. Models had a leggy moment. Voluminous figures and stunning glamour were everywhere.
"I want to tell the story of Saint Laurent, of Paris'Äö√Ñ√∂'àö√ë'àö√Ünothing more deeply than that. That girl of Saint Laurent'Äö√Ñ√∂'àö√ë'àö√Üshe wants to have fun. She's not depressed. She wants to enjoy life!'- Vaccarello said.
When you think of Yves Saint Laurent, the first thing that comes to mind is Paris. And what other landmark screams Paris better than the Eiffel Tower!? The mind-blowing Trocadero area near the base of the Tower served as a catwalk last night. Vaccarello wanted to pay tribute to the legendary Yves with his Spring 2018 collection. Things got even more emotional with the unexpected death of Pierre Berge in the beginning of September. Berge was the business mastermind behind the French fashion house, and Saint Laurent's best friend. Each seat had a card saying: "Maybe this is crazy love. The love of two madmen.", a personal note from Pierre to Yves.
Anthony dived deep into the archives of the fashion house, starting from the very beginning and focusing on the haute couture days. The opening looks were inspired by Saint Laurent's villa in Marrakesh and offered a relaxed bohemian style. The accent was on the ultra-short patterned leather shorts and loose shirts.
As the night progressed, designs got more elegant and sensual. The voluminous puffy dresses and tops that looked like real clouds left everyone in awe. Vaccarello expressed his wild spirit on the designs with the mesmerizing embroidery and sequins.
A-list celebrities got to watch the long-legged models walk on the huge catwalk with a sparkling Eifel Tower in the background. Robin Wright, Lenny Kravitz, Courtney Love, Frances Bean Cobain all arrived wearing SL from head to toes. The biggest face of this fashion month, Kaia Gerber had her Paris Fashion Week debut last night.
There isn't a single doubt that he did that, plus paid the honors of the biggest French designer in the best possible way. Each and every single design carries the YSL spirit. The Spring 2018 collection is a great way to remind the new generations of the Yves Saint Laurent's grand impact in fashion.

Tell the average speed of the person during whole journey :
A person goes from P to Q with a speed of 50 km/hr and returned back from Q to P with speed of 30 km/hr. Tell the average speed of the person during whole journey.
- 37.5 km/hr
- 35.5 km/hr
- 41.5 km/hr
- 38.5 km/hr
Professor Asked on 14th December 2015 in Maths.
Answer: (1) 37.5 km/hr
Solution:- Let the total distance from point P to Q = X Km.
Then time taken from point P to Q =X/50 hrs
and time taken from point Q to P =X/30 hrs
Then, Average speed = Total covered distance/ Total taken time
=2 X x 150/8 X
=300/8=37.5 Km/hr
Then, average speed of a person is 37.5 km/hr
So, correct answer is option (1) 37.5 km/hr.
Answer: (1) 37.5 km/hr

Road transport
Today one of the most common ways of delivery is an road transportation. Acceptable transit time, high flexibility, minimum handling loads during the transportations, as well as a greater risk coverage make a brief list of the undeniable advantages of autotransportation (compare: according to the CMR Convention, a compensation for loss cargo for a road transportation is calculated at the rate of 8,33 SDR (about 12 US dollars) per 1 kg gross, and for sea freight at 2-2,5 SDR). Road transport can rightly be considered the most "favorite" among customers.The first trucks were designed for different purposes. Someone wanted to indulge governors, for example, Ferdinand Verbiest created a toy truck for a head of the Qing Dynasty in 1672, China. Its length was only 65 cm, but it was one of the earliest ancestors of modern trucks. Someone designed special models for military purposes, for example to transport heavy artillery. They dispute a lot about who invented the first model of a moving cargo vehicle. Yet the palm is given to Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot. French mechanical engineer who served in an army for 20 years received an official order from the French Minister of War in 1764 to create a steam tractor for the needs of artillery. And already in 1769 he demonstrated his model of truck in Paris. Water in a cauldron heated by the fire divorced on the ground. Then steam rose and powered a drive mechanism. This model functioned only 12 minutes. In 1828 another French artificer Onesiphorus Pique receives a patent for his invention "Steam cart for use on a road." The cart had a differential with a bevel gear and a steering mechanism. Later, in 1891, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach joined their efforts and tried to create a motorized cart with the same purpose - to carry loads. And only in 5 years Daimler presents its first truck.Today you can hardly overestimate the importance of road transport, and road transportations worthily constitute a substantial part of the total traffic in the world.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" If you were to ask either of my oldest boys these days, one of their first answers would be, "...a computer programmer like daddy!"
We were given the opportunity to try out Homeschool Programming, a computer science curriculum targeted for kids and teens in 4th - 12th grades. I thought this would be a wonderful opportunity for our boys to experience first hand the type of work their dad does every day.
Homeschool Programming was created by homeschooling parents with degrees in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering who saw a need for computer science classes within the upper elementary to high school range. The courses are completed on the student's {or family's} computer and students only need to have basic computer skills to begin their class. Students can work through the material at their own pace and are able to learn independently.
The suggested course of study includes instruction in Visual Basic and web design for younger students and C# and Java for high school students.
Each course has instructional lessons, activities to practice concepts learned in the lessons and their solutions, supplemental instructional documents, tests and answer keys, and free technical support.
So, how did our family use Homeschool Programming?
First, let me tell you that I think computers hate me. No, really. I have some of the silliest problems and I feel helpless to solve them on my own. I get by with limited knowledge and understanding of all technical stuff and it frustrates me that I don't know more. My husband is great at humoring my computer illiteracy and usually with the swipe of his finger, problems are resolved. I really felt like he was the one who should be guiding our boys along as they used Homeschool Programming. Seriously, he supports our family doing this very thing...
But, as it turns out, I worked with them and it was a good thing. Really good.
We received KidCoder: Beginning Web Design as a downloadable product for the purpose of this review though customers receive hard copies of the student text and an installation CD. My husband helped me get each item downloaded to our desktop so the boys and I could easily find the files every time we needed them. I read through the first several lessons and completed the corresponding activities on my own before introducing it to my boys to get a feel for the program. I had thought they could be independent with using this program but after looking it over, I decided it would be best for me to read the lessons with them, then let them complete the activities without my help.
The lessons are chock full of information. They are written simply enough for upper elementary children to understand along with cartoon visuals and boxes to highlight important points. Technical terms are used and are given easy to understand explanations. I was concerned that my 4th and 6th graders would not read slowly or carefully enough to understand the information which is why I read the lessons with them. I personally had to re-read parts of the lesson for the terms and ideas to sink in. This is not an issue with Homeschool Programming or the way the information is presented. It has everything to do with me. I realize that I set myself up for failure at times because I don't try to understand computer related topics. I'd rather just let my husband or someone else fix it for me. Thankfully, my boys must have inherited my husband's brain for computer science because they didn't seem to have any trouble understanding what was being read to them.
The boys were able to easily complete the activities corresponding to each lesson and are well on their way to creating a website! In fact, they have really enjoyed learning about web design. We are planning to complete the remaining lessons as part of our school plan this fall and move to advanced web design in our second semester.
Though my boys have learned a great deal, I feel like I have benefited the most from Homeschool Programming at this point. I have a better understanding how to work with my blog and can look at the HTML code without feeling completely lost when I have a problem. I am excited to continue studying with my boys, growing in my confidence around computers, and becoming more proficient in creating and understanding web design.
So, is Homeschool Programming only beneficial for a family who homeschools? Or only for the targeted age range? Absolutely not! I believe that a wide variety of individuals, both in homeschool and public or private schools, both young and old, could gain valuable knowledge and hands-on practice from these courses!

By using the PmTrend object the PROMOTIC application becomes a trend server. In the trend server (running PROMOTIC application) it is possible to define multiple trend groups (or PmTrend objects).
|Group ID identifier
|Identifier of the trend group. It is a mandatory item. The trend group represents the PmTrend object and the designer must ensure that two groups do not use the same identifier. This identifier is used for example for addressing a variable in trend viewer. If, for example, group1 is set, then the internet URL address of this group data may be http://computername/group1 (if the PmTrend object enables the data for the Internet in the PmTrend > Web server page using the PmWeb object). In this case the computername is the name of the computer where the trend server is running, and group1 is the Web component identifier in the Web server page (this name is identical with the name in this configurator).
Macro expression can be used for input (it is evaluated while the application is launching).This is a system name and must not contain diacritics, empty string, spaces and the first character must not be a number.
|User defined name of the group
|User defined name of the group (or the PmTrend object). This name is used for displaying as user identification of the group.
Macro expression can be used for input (it is evaluated while the application is launching).
|Number of records in memory cash
|The number of records that are stored in memory. If the data is to be stored on the disk (i.e. the Use the data on the disc configurator is checked), then the data is stored on the disk and the defined number of records also into memory simultaneously. When client queries are being processed the trend server does not have to load the data from the disk but it can use the current data that is also available in the memory. When setting this constant it is necessary to understand that a high number of records in the memory (>1000) may cause higher intensity of RAM memory usage.
For example if a higher number of variables is being archived by all PmTrend objects together (for example 1000 variables in total) and for all PmTrend objects the configurator Use the data on the disc has been set to 2000, then it causes additional requirement of about 1000*2000*8 = 16 000 000 Bytes of RAM = approx. 15 MB of the RAM arises (the number 8 in the expression is the size of the Double data type).
|Timestamp accuracy [s]
|Timestamp accuracy in seconds. Before the timestamp is stored in the memory/disk, the time is rounded up to the specified accuracy. This defined accuracy must by supported by the storage system disk itself (if the data is stored also on the disk). The maximum possible accuracy depends on the type of storage on disk:
0.003 sec - for Database MS SQL server cyclic and Database MS SQL server backups (obsolete).
|Standard/local time storage
|Time storage type
Time is "local time" - During the daylight-saving season the time is saved as the "daylight-saving time", in the standard seasons as "standard time". The time is saved as it has been detected for example by calling the Run method.
Time is "standard time" - In the winter season the time is saved unchanged and in the daylight-saving season the time value is decreased by 1 hour and thus it is always saved as "standard time". This approach ensures correct functionality of the viewer in time of transition "standard time"/"daylight-saving time" and vice versa and therefore it is recommended.
|Read only (new records cannot be written)
|If the Storage type setting is set to any saving method other than Database Access backups (obsolete), Database MS SQL server backups (obsolete) or Promotic binary file cyclic, then this setting can be used to switch the object into the "Read only (new records cannot be written)" mode (i.e. reading data from existing files). In this case, the PmTrend object reads the data from databases created by the PROMOTIC system, or even from databases created by other systems. The database table from which the data are to be read must include the timestamp column configured as the Date and time data type. In this mode the object does not allow writing any data (by Run, RunTime methods), but other functionality remains unchanged (displaying the data by the TrendsView viewer, statistics and evaluation of the data by GetData, CreateFilter methods, saving the data into a file SaveToFile). Open methods allow dynamic connecting to requested table.
In this mode it is not needed to define the list of variables on the Data page (list of variables is read from the file as a list of columns of the database table). If the list of variables on the Data page is defined, then it is synchronized with the list of columns from the database table.
See: PmTrend object in "Read only (new records cannot be written)" mode.
Macro expression can be used for input (it is evaluated while the application is launching).
|Automatic saving after launch is enabled
|If checked, then the automatic value saving after application launch is enabled. The PmTrend object contains an internal timer (similar to the PmTimer object), allowing to save the selected values after defined time period. During each automatic saving (new record) the onAddRecord event is fired, the same way as during saving the values via the Run or RunTime methods. This event can be used for preparing the data to be saved.
|Autosave period [s]
|Autosave period in seconds. Each time this period passes the Run method is called internally, which first generates the onAddRecord event and then saves all current values from the Data page.
|Enable saving of variables on change
|Enable/disable optimized value saving. In this case the values (defined in Data page) are stored (into memory, on the disk) when calling the Run, RunTime method, only if the value has been changed since the last save and the difference is greater than the insensitivity range. The insensitivity range is a numeric value, defined separately for each variable, see Dead band. If at least one variable defined in the Data page of the PmTrend object does not fit its insensitivity range, then all variables defined in this page are saved.
|Change evaluation method
|Variable change evaluation method:
simple - by variable change - The variable change is evaluated as a difference between the new saved value and the value saved last time. If the new variable value is for example 35 and the last saved value is 34 and insensitivity range is 4, then the new value fits into insensitivity range (34-4/2,34+4/2)=(32,36) and the variable is evaluated as unchanged.
optimized - by direction change - The value change is evaluated as the difference between the new saved value and the direction (change in Y coordinate / change in X coordinate) of straight line connecting the values saved so far. In this case the insensitivity range is applied to the slope of the straight line connecting the value points.
|If no change, then save after [s]
|If the new values are repeatedly evaluated as unchanged (when calling Run, RunTime), then after the defined time interval (in seconds since last data save) the data is saved during the next calling of Run, RunTime (the insensitivity is not evaluated).

With more confidence than most 22 year olds and more grace than her 340 pound frame might suggest, weightlifter Holley Mangold is making her dream come true. She'll be competing in London on August 5th in the sport of Olympic weightlifting in the superheavyweight class. Holley has been weightlifting since 2008, and prior to that she played high school football and competed in powerlifting. She comes from an athletic family; perhaps best known is her brother Nick, an All-Pro center for the New York Jets. Glamourgirlz caught up with Holley to talk about about her love of weightlifting and preparation for the 2012 Games. Why did you choose to focus on weightlifting? I knew I couldn't pursue football professionally, and powerlifting isn't in the Olympics. My entire life I've wanted to go to the Olympics. The first time I tried weightlifting, I knew I could make it to the Olympics, this was my chance. So I started training with Mark Cannella at Columbus Weightlifting, teamed up with some great training partners, and put my sights on 2012. You knew 2012 was your year? Yes, but I didn't tell anyone at first. I'd say, "Yeah, 2016 would be great," and that's what everyone else said. But when I did tell everyone 2012 was my goal, it applied exactly the pressure I needed to my training, that's when I started seeing real improvement. What do you most enjoy about your sport? I think of weightlifting as being a 400-pound golf swing. It's a beautiful combination of technique and power. Really, it's a controlled explosion. All of this sounds crazy, but the first time the bar feels weightless, it pops off your hips and all of a sudden you're standing — then you'll understand. The first time I felt it, that's when I became passionate about the sport of weightlifting. Now that you've qualified for the Olympics, what does a typical training day look like? When I'm at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs my day usually goes like this: 7 am: Wake up 7:30 am: Weigh in and go for a walk, start to warm up for my day of training 8 am: Breakfast, this is the most important meal of the day for me. I throw down eggs, sausage, bacon, all the good stuff. 10-12:30 pm: First training session of the day 12:30 pm: Lunch — protein is my focus, I'm trying to lose about 10 pounds right now 1:30 pm: Rehab and Recovery — ice baths, saunas, soft tissue massage, stretching, these things are essential with my training volume 4-6:30 pm: Second training session of the day 6:30 pm: Dinner 7:30 pm: More rehab and recovery. I'm nursing a couple of nagging injuries so I have to stay on top of them. 9 pm: Bedtime How are you mentally preparing for the Games?
Before trials, I would think about the meet constantly. Visualize myself doing the lifts, crunch numbers, think about it all the time. But I'm not doing that now, I'll wait til London to think that way. Instead I am getting things in order. It's a lot easier to think about making sure everyone has tickets and focusing on today's training session than it is to worry about the competition. I haven't even looked at the other women's stats. In fact, I'm not sure who's going from the other countries! What is your goal for the Olympics? Numbers wise, I'd like to total around 280 kilograms for both lifts (that's 616 pounds total, or around 264 pounds for the snatch and 352 pounds for the clean and jerk.) This is the weirdest meet I've ever prepared for. Usually it's about qualifying for a future competition or hitting some PRs [Personal Records], and the Olympics is about bringing home a medal. That's it. I'm going to put whatever it takes on that bar to get on the medal stand. What would you say to someone who is interested in Olympic weightlifting but isn't sure where to start? First you have to find a local gym that has all the right equipment;there are weightlifting gyms, CrossFit boxes are also great. Learn the lifts, start to hone your technique. I think immediately you'll find it super fun because it is so technical. Weightlifting is for anyone. A person who just wants to stay in shape and needs some direction, or any athlete who wants to get better at their own sport, the lifts strengthen all aspects of athleticism. And to women who are worried you have to be my size to do weightlifting: You don't! Weightlifting is broken up into weight classes, there are women competing in the 56 kilogram class (123 pounds) who are doing amazing things like lifting twice their bodyweight. Weightlifting is fun, so fun. Where is the best place to keep up with you online while you're in London? I'll post all the fun to and , and I have a weekly blog going at . What's the one Olympic event you're looking forward to most? Tell us in the comments below!

Samsung has quickly moved on to its flagship after the Note7 fiasco; all eyes are now on the company's next flagship device. The Samsung Galaxy S8 is the company's next flagship device which is going to launch in the coming year, but there is not stopping to the rumor mill churning out lots of leaks and reports. However, we haven't seen any hardware related leaks just yet.
The new leak which was first reported by TechTastic from Weibo suggests that the Galaxy S8 will pack a 256GB storage option, although it is not clear whether this would be the larger variant or the standard one. Furthermore, the Galaxy S8 will rock a 6GB RAM keeping up with the current trend in the market. Even the Galaxy Note7 was expected to come with 6GB RAM, but the company had to go with Galaxy S7 specs with just 4GB RAM.
It is also expected that the Galaxy S8 will feature improved design, powerful internals and an optical fingerprint sensor embedded right under the home screen. A Dual rear camera setup is also expected and the biggest design change would the pressure sensitive display which is said to replace the capacitive buttons, physical home button altogether. Just like the Note7, the Galaxy S8 will also feature Iris Scanner.
Hope Samsung bounces back with the Galaxy S8 keeping in check the quality control issues this time with the Galaxy S8, as the company can't afford another Note7 scene. Stay tuned for more details on the Samsung Galaxy S8.

The owner of Mayfield Garden Centre in Kelso, which underwent a major expansion last year, has incurred the wrath of neighbours by applying for a permit to sell alcohol.
Carlisle-based William Strike Ltd is seeking a licence to sell drink from a small display area at the Glebe Lane site, close to the River Tweed, between 10am and 10pm daily.
The firm has also applied for an on-sales licence for its new 200-seater coffee bar/restaurant.
But it is the off-sales bid which has elicited objections from nine elderly residents living in nearby Mayfield Gardens.
"There is no call for off-sales within the garden centre," writes neighbour John Wightman in a letter to Scottish Borders Licensing Board which will consider the Strike bid tomorrow (Friday).
"It could affect the amenity of the area, especially if young adults choose to have late evening drinking sessions beside a highly dangerous stretch of the Tweed."
Mr and Mrs P. Rhodes claim the off-sales hours are "quite out of order in this peaceful area of Kelso" while Mrs J. Bastion states: "However small the outlet is, take-away drink should not be allowed on this site."
Another Mayfield Gardens resident, Mrs M. Gliksten, says the setting of the garden centre, a former market garden, is of "great environmental and amenity value".
She says last year's expansion of the business, including the provision of 100 car parking spaces, had already put traffic pressure on narrow roads, like The Butts and Glebe Lane, which have survived intact since the days of horse-drawn vehicles.
"Our concerns lie with the hours requested for off-sales which, we contend, would be an over-commercialisation of the site," writes Mrs Gliksten.
"If the application is granted, it will greatly increase the scope of the business and the premises could, in very short order, emerge as a supermarket."
She says that "after years of trouble", late night hooliganism and vandalism in the river area was under control.
"But residents remain fearful that night-time alcohol sales could lead to a resurgence of the problem," she adds.
Neither the police nor licensing standards officer Ian Tunnah have offered any objections to the firm's application.

Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO) announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2009.
Net revenue for the first quarter was $256.8 million, compared to $240.4 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2008. First quarter sales were led by Grand Theft Auto IV , Carnival Games , NBA 2K9 and Midnight Club: Los Angeles .
Net loss for the first quarter was $50.4 million or $0.66 per share, compared to a net loss of $38.0 million or $0.52 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company's increased loss for the first quarter compared to the prior year was primarily due to higher marketing, legal, and research and development expenses.
The first quarter results include $6.2 million in stock-based compensation expense ($0.08 per share) and $4.9 million in expenses related to unusual legal matters ($0.06 per share). Results for the first quarter of 2008 included $6.1 million in stock-based compensation expense ($0.08 per share) and $1.7 million in expenses related to unusual legal matters and business reorganization costs ($0.02 per share).
Non-GAAP net loss was $39.3 million or $0.52 per share in the first quarter, compared to a net loss of $30.3 million or $0.41 per share in the first quarter of 2008. (Please refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures and reconciliation tables included later in this release for additional information and details on non-GAAP items.)
Business Highlights
Among the significant recent business developments, Take-Two noted the following:
- Over 13 million units of Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto IV have been shipped as of January 31, 2009.
- Rockstar Games announced Red Dead Redemption, a follow-up to the 2004 hit game Red Dead Revolver , which is in development at Rockstar San Diego and planned for a fall 2009 release.
- 2K Play's wholly owned Carnival Games franchise, including Carnival Games for Nintendo's Wii and DS, and Carnival Games MiniGolf for Wii, has shipped over four million units worldwide.
"Take-Two led off fiscal 2009 with somewhat better than expected performance. Our sales reflected the continued strength and diversity of our portfolio of top franchises, including Grand Theft Auto IV , Carnival Games , NBA 2K9 and Midnight Club: Los Angeles . Looking to the balance of the year, the economy remains challenging and uncertain, and our industry will not be immune to this environment. Consumers will continue to be highly selective in their purchases, including interactive entertainment. We need to deliver innovative, exceptionally compelling products to compete for this more limited consumer spending, and we are confident in our ability to do so," said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of Take-Two.
Ben Feder, Chief Executive Officer of Take-Two, commented, "We believe that in this economic environment, publishers that can offer both quality and value will attract the broadest audience of consumers. We believe Take-Two is solidly positioned on both fronts, with our world-class studios creating triple-A titles and Jack of All Games' expertise in distributing value products. We will continue to focus on our competitive strengths in both of these areas, while also investing in promising emerging markets, and leveraging our leading edge software development tools and technologies. We recognize the challenges of balancing efficiency with creativity, and our team believes that we can manage the business effectively without sacrificing our renowned standards for excellence."

There are different kinds of tenants sign the lease agreement with the owner. Some have to live till the expiry of lease and even after that whereas the other has to leave the apartments before the end of lease. But the biggest disadvantage of lease is that you are bound o keep the apartment and pay the rent unless the lease time gets ends. If you do not act so there are many kinds of legal problems waiting for you because your landlord can legally bound you in a number of things owing to the breakage of lease agreement. It is the responsibility of the tenants to complete the written time of renting the apartment in the lease. This is basically done for the safety of landlords so they make an agreement of a year or more to bind the tenant for so long time.
However, if you want to move towards another place because of any of your problem ad there is enough time remaining in ending of your lease then do not worry. There are sublet apartment ideas built in for supporting and fixing this kind of problems of tenants. Sublet apartments are those kinds of apartments that are rented y the renters to someone else. This means that if a tenant himself wants to live somewhere else he can give the apartment to other tenant at his own behalf. Now he himself can receive the rent or the second tenant can send the rent to the landlord directly but the lease remains at the name of first tenants. This helps the three parties equally. Landlords keep on receiving the rent regardless of the issue that who is paying the rent. The first tenant can move to some other place without breaking the lease or affording two rents of the previous and net apartments whereas the second tenants gets the apartment without signing a lease and find an affordable residence easily.
There are many different kinds of reasons why people give their apartment to other tenants. Many times a person has to change the school or job so his residence moves to the other part of city also. As a person cannot live at distant places from the schools, colleges of offices so they require shifting toward those areas that are located near thee destinations. It urges them to make their rental apartment as sublet apartment and give it to some other person. Many times they need to relocate to some other place while keeping their rental apartment to themselves so that when they come back they have that rental apartment available for them. It is commonly not possible to get the same rental apartment after a long time so they did not want to leave the lease and keep the apartment in their ownership by making it a sublet apartment. In many cases landlords are aware of this process while many times they are kept ignorant of making their rental apartment a sublet apartment.

Railroad Suburbs On The W&ODSEARCH THIS SITE | MAP OF THIS WEB SITE
Barcroft Station, c. 1900, later demolished.
Until 1920, the residents of suburbs lived near railroad/trolley lines which led to cities. These pioneers of suburbia were fleeing from the problems of the city, such as epidemics. They also got more house for their money. Philadelphia had its Main Line, a string of suburbs built around the turn of the century along the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad leading westward from Overbrook to Paoli. Chicago had a similar line. Along Washington's B&O Line, Garrett Park, Kensington and Takoma Park grew up.
A string of much smaller suburbs grew up at the same time along the tracks of the W&OD, from Barcroft to Herndon. The Washington area was much smaller than Philadelphia until the 1950's. Moreover, Washington's largest suburbs were Takoma and Kensington. The tracks of the W&OD did not lead directly to Washington but rather to Alexandria, where commuters changed trains. The construction of the Bluemont branch solved part of this problem, because it led to Rosslyn, where commmuters could transfer to a trolley to Georgetown."Railroad suburbs sprouted along the high iron leading away from most major American cities, and
"Railroad suburbs took two forms, but the 'suburban good life' guided the development of both. Speculator suburbs, characterized by quickly erected houses lining new streets across former farmland, blossomed at former village depots within commuting distance of large cities. 'Model' suburbs, usually the result of enlightened speculators willing to chance long-term profits, were designed and built as whole entities, the schools, churches, shopping districts and other amenities erected simultaneously with the houses." John Stilgoe, Metropolitan Corridor
