There is more than meets the stereotype to this Anglo-centric seaside resort. While most of Torremolinos is a brash high-rise heaven for fun-loving Brits, the low-rise western part is patronised by the Spanish and has a very different character. Soft golden sands stretch either side of town and there is a huge choice of entertainments by day and night. Aquapark is a white-knuckle water world; Tivoli World is the region's major theme park.

you can paint em but lots of folks like the new fiber optic sights. lots like night sights. but the fastest way is to use the tombstone image. if you look square down the back of the slide making thetop and sides even with the back of the frame making it appear to be a tombstone then set the top over your target. like how the colt new agent works.

CHICAGO Nissan Motor Co. Ltd.s assembly plant in Canton, Miss., has won the sourcing contract to build the next-generation Murano crossover.
Nissan Canton, which the company called a "cornerstone" of its North American manufacturing operations, has grown in the past 10 years from building one model to seven. Beginning in 2014, the Murano will be the eighth vehicle built in Canton and will require several hundred employees for production, Nissan said.
Bill Krueger, vice chairman of Nissan Americas, said that with the addition of domestic Murano production, the automaker is making strides toward its goal of manufacturing 85 percent of the vehicles it sells in the United States within North America.

Aereo presses pause on 'tiny antenna' TV-streaming service
TV-streaming biz Aereo suspended its services over the weekend, after the Supreme Court ruled last week that its operations breached US broadcasters' copyrights, but the firm has vowed to fight on. In a letter to users on its website, Aereo chief and founder Chet Kanojia said that the firm was just "pausing services temporarily …
On the one hand, he is taking someone else's transmission and making money off of it but on the other, big businesses are led by bastards and I would have liked to have seen them get a bloody nose.
Never mind, I'm not surprised and I suppose the decision is the right one :(
Re: I suppose the decision is the right one
Perhaps on the basis of the facts presented. The justices were correct that there is little effective distinction between cable companies and Aereo. They are also correct that broadcaster owns the rights to the material and has not granted a license for the rebroadcast from which Aereo makes their money. The recasting of legislation to require cable companies to pay broadcasters is at the heart of the issue. But given that broadcasters are using a public commodity licensed to them by the federal government, I'm quite sure the legislative rewrite was a bad one. And I suspect there ought to be some way to get it overturned vis a vie consumer interests.
Since 1996 when the DMCA became law, it has held up both the spread of technology and the free flow of information. It is a cure worse than the disease. But in a country where money is free speech, we're stuck with it.
Always thought that their 'dime sized antennae' based excuse sounded a little hollow. I'm all for disruptive technologies, but this always sounded to me like they had stepped over the line
It wasn't so much 'disruptive technology' as 'disruptive legalese'. And on that latter count, it failed.
what happened to "we have no Plan B"?
A couple months ago, in several videotaped interviews, Kanojia clearly stated that if the Supreme Court decision didn't go their way, they were essentially dead. "We have no 'Plan B'" is what he said. The only "next move" I can immediately think of is to become something of a cross between Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime's video service - but that would basically be a "me, too" operation so why bother?
I was rooting for Aereo (assuming that they weren't adding any content, just DVRing and retransmitting unaltered feeds) because the service was innovative. It forced broadcasters and content providers to keep on their toes to get/retain viewers and/or subscribers. For example, my cable provider recently began offering a Hulu-like service for their subscribers. I have been told that the Aereo situation has gotten them moving to add live TV to the streaming options. That's the real difference between Aereo and all the other streaming content providers - live events and "simulcast" of scheduled programming. Even though the decision went against Aereo, there is still a chance that consumers will benefit - albeit somewhat less so than if Aereo had won.
I don't see where any harm is coming from, in fact the original broadcasters are getting more money. The video stream isn't being modified in any way other than being compressed into a packet stream, so the advertisements remain but are now being seen by additional eyeballs (And without the transmitter needing to pay for more towers or electricity to bathe us in their signal).
The only harm could come from the cable losing out on people that would have bought cable service for just the local (And freely available) channels. In my mind, this is akin to a TelCo suing Skype for damages.
Re: Ridiculous
The perceived loss is from the fees the channels might have got from the cable companies Aereo's customers might have been subscribed to. Personally I think FTA broadcasters charging fees to cable companies or anyone else for that matter is a bit like having your cake and eating it, considering the ad revenue they already get from their broadcasts. This whole scenario is indicative of the mess that is broadcasting/cable/Satellite/ISP, (in fact anything to do with consumer tech, the judiciary are about 20 years behind in their understanding of it), in the US, a cold hard look at charges and practices is required, perhaps an independent body like the FCC but with clear teeth and legal jurisdiction without those lawyer beloved grey areas that seem so widespread in the US.
Re: Ridiculous
It's more about the future loss and risk from basic terms being re-defined in a whacky way - which is what a ruling favourable to Aereo would have meant. It's up to Congress to define those terms.
The Supremes decided Aereo was really a cable company - but cable companies have extremely cushy terms, they can use a compulsory license and pay a set rate far below market value for their content. No one denies Aereo has value - and that their technology could be useful to consumers and the industry if they licensed it. Much like picocells are useful to operators.
This story simply demonstrates what we already know - that the whole case was designed around fighting and winning court battle.
Re: Ridiculous
The problem is that the so-called broadcast networks got greedy and decided that they wanted more money than they get from advertising revenue. Therefore, they started charging cable and satellite operators per-subscriber carriage fees. Each time the contracts come up for renewal the broadcasters put up their fees significantly and there's a pissing match that results in the channels being blacked out for several days until a compromise is met. It is these rip-off fees that the broadcasters are unhappy with Aereo not paying.
They're not dead...
They're "resting".
It's in the details.
"Aereo sells a service that allows subscribers to watch television programmes, many of which are copyrighted, virtually as they are being broadcast."
I don't think they understand the meaning of broadcast. If I have an antenna and a small digital video capture device for private viewing, that's okay. I put it over at my mate's place because it gets better reception, that's okay. I pay a company to put it in a warehouse, that's not okay?
When 'they' send out the signal, that is broadcast it, and someone happens to receive it and store it for later viewing they should have no say over when or on what equipment is used. Aereo was not rebroadcasting any copyrighted material, they're delivering it to a single subscriber. One antenna, one DVR, one viewer.
Am I mistaken in that thinking? The court seems either ignorant of technology or unduly influenced by big * (media/pharma/business).
It's only Monday and I'm ready for a pint.
Re: It's in the details.
"One antenna, one DVR, one viewer."
I suspect that is the problem there. One antenna, one DVR, many viewers seems more likely. Unless they were really recording and storing potentially 1000's of copies of the same show, one for each subscriber who marked it for recording. I suppose in theory there could have been 1000's of simultaneous recordings of the same show at the same time being fed into a clever de-duping file system such that it was logically 1000's of separate files while being physically only one or a few on disk.
Re: Aereo was not rebroadcasting
Because Aereo was streaming it over the internet under US law they were rebroadcasting. Their lawyers should have known that and prepared a different approach.
At first glance, it does seem bizarre - free-to-air channels actually pay money to broadcast their signals to people - but then they try to charge third parties extra for doing that for free? The law seems against them though: if US cable companies have to pay a fee to do this, there's really no reason Aereo shouldn't. ('Lots of tiny virtualised aerials carrying the same signal down the same pipe' versus 'single shared aerial' is something I'd expect any judge to chuck out as hair-splitting, as it seems SCOTUS did here.) The fact they were actually converting and processing the signals, not just relaying them, can't have helped their case either.
It's a shame: I'd rather like to see a service like that flourish - but right now, the law doesn't allow it without paying extra.
"It's a shame: I'd rather like to see a service like that flourish - but right now, the law doesn't allow it without paying extra."
Not quite, it's the *networks* that aren't allowing it, and they're just using the law to get their way. If this were purely about the little bit of money they were arguing about, it would be working today - albeit at an additional cost.
But it's not. It's about advertising that is not being paid for for regions it wasn't destined for, it's about advertising that's being shown in regions it's not applicable to (wasted ad space), it's about much more money than that.
But the law is not on your side on that matter, well, it's not so cut and dried, they just used whatever applicable law they could get away with to squash Aereo - what they wanted to do in the first place.

A Japanese brewery created a beer made from coffee beans that have been harvested from elephant dung and it sold out within minutes of going on sale. The beer, made by the Sankt Gallen brewery is called Un, Kono Kuro – a play on the Japanese word for "crap." It's described as a "chocolate stout" even though it contains no chocolate. The coffee beans used in the beer comes from Thailand's Golden Triangle Foundation and cost approximately $100 per 1.25 ounces. My guess is that beer doesn't come cheap, but a beer that does is getting a new look. Budweiser beer is introducing a bowtie-shaped can, designed to mirror its longtime bowtie logo. The can will be available in eight-packs beginning on May 6th. Keep in mind, you'll be giving up a little bit of beer to get the new can, with it holding only 11.3 ounces rather than the standard 12.

didymiumSyllabification: di·dym·i·um
Pronunciation: /dīˈdimēəm /
Definition of didymium in English:
A mixture containing the rare earth elements praseodymium and neodymium, used to color glass for optical filters. It was originally regarded as a single element.
Example sentences
- In 1879 Paul-Emile Lecoq, gallium's discoverer, announced that there was another element contaminating didymium, which he called samarium.
- The discovery of praseodymium is credited to the Austrian chemist Carl Auer who found that a previously discovered element, didymium, was actually a mixture of two other new elements.
- Didymia, and its supposed elemental associate, didymium, then vanished from the chemical pantheon.
mid 19th century: from Greek didumos 'twin' (because it was closely associated with lanthanum) + -ium (used as a suffix for new metals).

Political Ads: The Best and Worst of 2014
From The Campaign Workshop:
Here is our list of the worst and best political ads of the year. You can also see my comments on the best and worst political ads of 2014 on C-Span's Washington Journal.
I can't say this is a non-partisan list, after all we are a Democratic political consulting firm. That said, we were not thrilled with all of the Democratic political ads we saw this year either.
Good creative matters more in political ads than it ever has before. This holds true regardless of political party affiliation. With all of the noise that is associated with political campaigns, there are very few good ideas, let alone good political ads, that actually stand out. Whether you are producing digital, mail, radio or television political ads — whether you are a Democrat or Republican — I think we can all agree that we need to strive for better and clearer messaging.
More Voters Rely on Smartphones and Social Media
From Kst Cafe:
Virtually all of us are dependent on smartphones: if you take a moment to look up from your screen, you'll probably see dozens of other people completely engrossed in their own.
In light of midterm elections today, a recent Pew Research poll highlighted in an article by The Hill revealed that voters are increasingly reliant on smartphones and social media to follow political parties, candidates and election news.
The poll, which surveyed 2,003 people from October 15-20, reported that Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike are using their phones and social media platforms to stay informed. According to the article, the number of voters who responded as using their smartphones and those who are using social media has doubled and tripled respectively, compared to data from elections in 2010.

Facebook ran its "voter megaphone" initiative in the United States Tuesday, letting users indicate whether they are voting and see similar messages from their friends, as our Micah Sifry has been covering in detail.
But what about the possibility of actually being able to verify that your Facebook friends have voted?
That is the functionality made possible through a tool in use over the past week in Oregon, Washington and Colorado. Built by developer Josh Cohen, it lets users check whether their Facebook friends in those states participated in early voting based on ballot data and send them a Facebook message.
They like me, they really like me
From Politico:
As he campaigned with frenzied energy along the Virginia coast on the Sunday before Election Day, with a growing sense that an historic upset was in reach, Ed Gillespie made a curious stop — at a Virginia Beach branch of Buffalo Wild Wings, the sports-bar chain.
The Republican Senate candidate wasn't there to cheer on the Washington Redskins. He was there, amid the framed jerseys of NFL greats and giant-screen TVs, for the sake of Buffalo Wild Wings itself. His digital adviser had crunched the numbers: Buffalo Wild Wings was the second most common Facebook "like" for conservative-leaning independents within his social network — the same kinds of people whom Gillespie desperately needed to get to the polls.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Badgeville, the #1 gamification and behavior management platform, today announced the launch of Badgeville Embed, a new product offering that enables technology and software providers to increase user engagement by 50% or more with their applications and reduce customer churn. Embed introduces OEM Networks, making it seamless for technology providers to manage engagement mechanics for thousands of customers.
The need for gamification has been indisputable: due to a lack of user engagement, half of software applications are not adopted by end-users, causing nearly $500 billion in unused software investments globally.[1] As users fail to utilize their products, software providers lose customers, creating missed revenue opportunities. According to a recent SaaS report by Goldman Sachs, a 2 percent increase in customer retention can improve a software provider's enterprise value by up to 20 percent.
"The integration of gamification concepts such as motivation and rewards often improves the usage of enterprise applications," says Alan Lepofsky, VP of Constellation Research. "Organizations of all sizes can use these features to enhance customer engagement as well as drive employees to get their jobs done more effectively. With the introduction of Badgeville Embed, Badgeville has made it easier for software vendors to add these engagement mechanics into their products without a lot of development effort. With gamification added, products often see greater adoption rates since people are more excited to use them."
Companies such as Saba, CallidusCloud, and Socialtext have leveraged Badgeville Embed to build more engaging user experiences with their products.
Badgeville Embed Partner Testimonials
Saba is the industry's leading provider of social software for team collaboration, enterprise learning and social talent management.
"For Saba customers, it is absolutely critical that the Saba People Cloud be a highly engaging environment they can depend on to meet their business objectives – and gamification techniques have always been central to our accomplishing this goal," said Ben Willis, Sr. Director of Product Strategy at Saba. "After careful consideration, we determined that partnering with Badgeville to integrate game mechanics into our product was cost-effective, scalable, and an excellent extension to our native gaming capabilities. Our Badgeville Embed integration allows our world-class customer-base to gamify their offerings quickly and effectively."
"Getting gamification right is a complex technical and design challenge. We're partnering with Badgeville because they understand gaming dynamics in deep, strategic ways that fundamentally change behavior in the enterprise. Badgeville Embed is the only offering in the space with the capability to scale, manage and analyze behaviors for our large user base," said Michael Idinopulos, General Manager of Socialtext
"Offering gamification capabilities directly in our offering is a big differentiator for our leading social sales platform. Gamification requires complex capabilities to create rewards and incentives that are meaningful to users. Partnering with Badgeville on this initiative has allowed us to get to market significantly faster and deploy the best of breed technology with minimal investment," said Rory Cameron, SVP of Corporate Development & Alliances at CallidusCloud
Badgeville Embed helps technology providers avoid the complexity of developing advanced, customized reward systems their customers need to engage their users. Layering game, reputation, and social mechanics similar to those utilized by Facebook and popular social games right on top of their own assets, product professionals can drive, influence and reward valuable user behaviors across their applications that encourage more repeat visits and overall customer retention.
"Badgeville Embed represents a huge milestone for both gamification and the traditional software industry as we know it," says Kris Duggan, Badgeville's CEO. "Now, product teams can incorporate proven engagement techniques right into the flow of their applications, driving desired user behaviors that maximizes customer value and boosts their renewal rates."
Key features and benefits for Badgeville Embed include:
- OEM Networks. Embed features OEM Networks, making it seamless for technology providers to manage engagement mechanics for all their clients in one unified interface.
- Robust enterprise security and access. Badgeville Embed features multiple levels of user access, giving technology providers granular control over who can access and modify information in the Behavior Engine Admin Console and apply engagement mechanics to their core products.
- In-depth Behavior Insights. With Badgeville Embed leveraging rich Behavior Analytics & Data, technology providers can better understand how users leverage their applications to complete a business process or connect with colleagues, improving their ability to build a better user experience.
- Robust Behavior Management in Days. Create an engagement program that enables you to manage behavior and apply engagement mechanics to your business applications. Rather than spending months custom building this functionality, you can be up-and-running in days without custom coding.
Launched at TechCrunch Disrupt in Q4 2010, Badgeville has grown into not only the leading gamification platform in the world, but also one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in Silicon Valley. The company has raised a total of $40M, including a $25M Series C led by InterWest Partners announced in May of 2012. Badgeville also recently expanded its global offices to EMEA to support customers in over 20 countries worldwide.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Artwork details
After Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Rochester, on the River Medway, engraved by T. Lupton
Date 1824
Medium Mezzotint on paper
Dimensions Image: 152 x 217 mm
Acquisition Purchased 1986
View this artwork by appointment, at Tate Britain's Prints and Drawings Rooms
Display caption
The joy of the images for The Rivers of England project lies in the beautiful detail which is not entirely suited to translation from delicate watercolour to the darker, smokier medium of mezzotint. This view of Rochester includes such interesting details as the line of washing hung out to dry in the river breeze between the masts of the large ship. Somewhat unusually Turner did not sell these watercolours, preferring to loan them for a fee to the engravers. Consequently they remained in his studio and now can be viewed at Tate Britain as part of the Turner Bequest.

Written and directed by Fred Mbogo, with Oyatsi, S. O as Choir Master.
A choir master based at Umoja University is angry that his boss has plagiarized his work. The harassed man is seeking out a way to solve the issue but is taunted by colleagues who ask: "What will you do?" What indeed can he do about it? He is consoled by his mother who, however, wonders: "Do you have to continue working under the same boss?" He composes furiously as a way of escaping; coming up with such beautiful songs that seek to restore his dignity. But he is still haunted by snide comments from people who doubt whether he is "man enough"! In the end, he must win, but will he first break all the drumsticks and clarinets? Does he have to? He is scheming to employ some sort of mob justice on the face of impunity! A hate for his boss is one tool he won't give up. He must win; but will he? What can he do?

Navigator of the Seas Cruise Review by Salty45: A Great Cruise!

Compare Prices on Navigator of the Seas Transatlantic Cruises
A Great Cruise!
After a two night stay in Barcelona we boarded the Navigator of the Seas. It had been two and a half years since we last sailed on the Navigator and not much had changed but we did notice that she was getting tired and ready for a face lift. We were told that that upgrading had been postponed till spring 2014, she will be very tired by then I'm afraid.
All that aside the cruise turned out to be one of out top three cruises for good times and great food. we enjoyed dinner in the dinning room very night with a great wait staff. If people complain about the quality of the meals they must have a wonderful life at home. The only meal we had that was less than great was the night we all went to Portofino where the meal was much less than spectacular and the seafood was cool by the time we got our meal.
The entertainment was very good, both in-house and shows in the theatre. Special mention to the Sunlight Band who we miss the most.
All in all we had a great time, put on a couple More of pounds and came home with some great memories. The only real negative from our point of view was the number of smoking venues and the lack of enforcement of smoking in non smoking areas.
I guess I have to mention the debacle when we arrived in New Orleans, even though it was the Port Authority and not RCCL that is responsible on this one. Over four hours to get off the ship and on the street is a little crazy. Less

Morning-after pill
Morning-after pill
Article Sections
The morning-after pill is a type of emergency birth control that contains the hormone levonorgestrel, a progestin, (Plan B One-Step, Next Choice) or ulipristal acetate, a progesterone agonist-antagonist, (Ella).
The morning-after pill can be used after you've had unprotected sex. Depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle, the morning-after pill can prevent or delay ovulation, block fertilization, or keep a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. Don't take the morning-after pill if you're already pregnant.
Plan B One-Step, Next Choice and Ella are the only morning-after pills that have Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in the U.S. (Plan B, which consists of two pills, is being phased out by its manufacturer.) However, many other brands of morning-after pills are available around the world.
If you're age 17 or older, Plan B One-Step and Next Choice are available over-the-counter at most pharmacies. If you are age 16 or younger or want to use Ella, you'll need a prescription from your health care provider.
Plan B One-Step
Plan B One-Step is a type of morning-after pill that can be used after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy. Plan B One-Step contains the hormone levonorgestrel — a progestin — which can ...
Why it's done
It's always a good idea to make a decision about birth control before having sex. However, the morning-after pill can help prevent pregnancy if you've had unprotected sex — whether you didn't use birth control, you missed a birth control pill or your method of birth control failed.
Conception typically doesn't occur immediately after sex. Instead, it may happen up to several days later. During the time between sex and conception, sperm travel through the fallopian tubes until they potentially meet up with an egg. As a result, taking emergency birth control soon after unprotected sex isn't too late to prevent pregnancy.
It's safe to use the morning-after pill during breast-feeding.
Keep in mind that the morning-after pill isn't the same as mifepristone (Mifeprex), also known as RU-486 or the abortion pill. The morning-after pill can prevent pregnancy. If you're already pregnant when you take the morning-after pill, the treatment will be ineffective and won't harm the developing baby. The abortion pill terminates an established pregnancy — one in which the fertilized egg has attached to the uterine wall and has already begun to develop.
The morning-after pill isn't appropriate for everyone. Your health care provider may discourage use of the morning-after pill if:
The morning-after pill may be an option if you have diabetes. You may need to work with your health care provider to manage your blood sugar level after taking the morning-after pill, however.
Consult your health care provider if you're breast-feeding. While Plan B One-Step and Next Choice are safe to use during breast-feeding, use of Ella isn't recommended.
In addition, make sure you're not pregnant before using Ella. The effects of Ella on a developing baby are unknown. However, if you're already pregnant when you take Plan B One-Step or Next Choice, the treatment will simply be ineffective and won't harm the developing baby.
Side effects of the morning-after pill may include:
Side effects typically last only a few days.
Using the morning-after pill may delay your period by up to one week. If your period is more than one week late, take a pregnancy test. If you have bleeding or spotting that lasts longer than a week or develop severe lower abdominal pain three to five weeks after taking the morning-after pill, contact your health care provider. These may be signs or symptoms of a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy — when the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube.
Emergency contraception is an effective option for preventing pregnancy after unprotected sex, but it isn't as effective as other methods of contraception and isn't recommended for routine use. An estimated 1 to 2 out of 100 women who have unprotected sex one time and correctly use the morning-after pill will get pregnant. The morning-after pill doesn't offer protection from sexually transmitted infections.
How you prepare
If you're age 17 or older, Plan B One-Step and Next Choice are available over-the-counter at most pharmacies. If you're age 16 or younger or want to use Ella, you'll need a prescription from your health care provider. Some health care providers may provide an advance prescription for emergency contraception, just in case.
Remember to talk to your health care provider about any other medications you're taking.
What you can expect
To use the morning-after pill:
If you vomit within two hours after taking the morning-after pill, contact your health care provider to discuss whether to repeat the dose.

I agree with Soars, Nog will be back just cause he lost doesn't mean hes done, physically he looked better than ever and even his striking was good its just cain was faster to land his strikes
Ed Soares on Big Nog's loss
Fresh from his clients loss at UFC 110 loss, Ed Soares was quick to comment on a few things regarding Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
Soares spoke highly of Valasquez;
"It's a breath of fresh air to see a guy like Cain moving up the ranks," Soares said. "I see a lot of similarities in him and Nogueira as far as their work ethic and how humble they are. He's a great guy, and congratulations to him. He fought a great fight and came in with a great strategy. Everyone really believed that Cain was going to shoot and ground and pound from the guard," he added.
He aslo dispelled any rumours of big nog's retirement, as well as taking the opportunity to critisize the critics, if you will;
"These fans love the sport so much," he said. "Well, they should really analyze the things that they say, because at the end of the day, these guys are human, too. I read some of the stuff that people put on the Underground and forums, and people need to realize—whether it's Nogueira, whether it's one of our fighters or not one of our fighters—that these people are human too and they have feelings and it's not cool."
Regarding His Future he said;
"He gets back on the horse and fights some more people. It could happen to anybody," said Soares.
