Tony and Malia did the same things that Mara and I did in 1992. They took in the sights. They went to Broadway shows. They rode the subway. They walked all over Manhattan. Mara and I saw Miss Saigon and The Secret Garden. Tony and Malia saw Wicked and Billy Elliot.
Truth be told, I struggled with my inability to accompany them on this trip. But, due to poor health, I could not go. You may be healthy enough to travel but not be able to for financial reasons. Life can be tough. So, instead of packing my bags, I decided to work on finding joy in this trip I could not take.
First, I got actively involved in planning it by doing research on the web and making reservations for them online. I found the site for the Empire State Building because I wanted to see when they could take the elevator to the observation deck.

Transforming shops, restaurants and hotels with technology
Intelligent, connected technology is profoundly transforming the customer journey in the retail, hospitality and restaurant industries. Businesses need to rise to the challenge.
You walk into your hotel room, tired from the long flight. The lighting is subtle and warm, not harsh, the room temperature just right, the news is playing quietly on the TV and there are just the right number of pillows on the bed. And all of this arranged before you even arrive at the hotel.
It's not magic. It's technology.
The hospitality, retail and restaurant industries are changing and technology is leading the charge.
Interaction between smart, connected devices is helping to create a harmony: one feel, one interaction across multiple media and platforms that will cut costs, increase efficiency and push personalised, customer-controlled experiences to the fore.
The role of businesses in these industries is to break down the barriers between employees and consumers and orchestrate personalised, unforgettable customer experiences.
Retailers, hoteliers and restaurateurs who fail to do this run the risk of being eclipsed by tech-savvy rivals.
Retail, retold
The recession has shown the door to a number of large, established retailers - Woolworths being one among many.
But with instability comes opportunity. Forward-thinking retailers are using technology not to replace the human interaction of physical stores but enhance it. They're re-inventing the bricks-and-mortar store.
Uniqlo's 5th Avenue store in New York, for instance, uses large format displays (LFDs) to act as dynamic digital signage and show off the latest and greatest products, all controlled remotely from the company's Japanese headquarters.
Similarly, Nordstrom, the American fashion retailer, co-created an app with their customers that helps shoppers choose the perfect sunglasses.
It's about creating a more interactive, intuitive and dynamic buying experience for the customer. It's theatre for the shopper.
The first thing they notice is the Goldilocks temperature, controlled by a modern, efficient air conditioning system.
Next are the multiple large LFDs, like Samsung's 95-inch ME95C, the world's largest professional LED edge-lit display, with life-size models showcasing the season's latest trends – the mannequin finally gets a makeover.
But they also offer a more intimate, personal touch. Shoppers tap their smartphone on an interactive screen upon arrival and are provided with a personalised map based on data about their past searches and purchases, highlighting relevant departments, showing related new products and listing what's in stock. A nearby wireless printer allows them to seamlessly print off a hard copy of the tailored information.
Staff complement these interactions, using tablets as mobile point-of-sale systems and to answer customer queries on the spot; no more disappearing into the stock room.
It's the best of both worlds – the convenience of online with the experience of in-store making a reality of 'omnichannel' retail.
Transforming hospitality
The future of hospitality is personalisation.
Ninety-two percent of hoteliers believe that, by 2020, guests will expect their stay to be tailored by a series of choices they make before they even arrive, according to Samsung's 'Transforming the Guest Experience' white paper.
Smart, connected technology will let guests skip the queue at reception and arrive to a room prepared to their unique specifications: lights dimmed, correct temperature, TV set to their preferred channel and a mini bar stocked with their tipple of choice.
Using an app to check into a hotel is nothing new but the experience will become more fluid and far-reaching. The app will recognize previous bookings, using your saved preferences; act as a check-in system; provide you with a digital key for your room and give you information about the hotel's facilities and local area.
An in-room tablet will be used to adjust the efficient LED lighting, blinds, heating and air conditioning.
Need to print something off before you hit the conference? Easy. With Samsung's near-field communication (NFC) and Secure Release technology you can just tap your smartphone on the printer in the business centre to release your document from the printing queue.
And, with no room key to hand in, leaving is easy. Settle the bill and check out using the in-room tablet and away you go.
These changes ease the burden on hotel staff and give guests an unforgettable experience that they control, ultimately translating into more repeat business and profit.
The restaurant of the future, now
New technology will enhance both ends of the spectrum of the restaurant industry – fast food outlets to luxury dining.
Mobile point-of-sale and self-service systems will streamline quick-serve restaurants and LFDs and mobile devices will enhance the human element of restaurant service, rather than get in the way of it.
LFDs, embedded Samsung's smart signage platform (SSSP) software, will act as dynamic message boards, switching between content seamlessly, whether its a digital menu, changing during the course of the day and indicating options that take longer to prepare, or a birthday message for a regular customer.
Waiters and waitresses will use tablets, like Samsung's Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, to take orders and provide on-the-spot information about the food, such as nutritional value and source, and any changes to the advertised menu. This avoids servers having to leave the table and check with the manager or kitchen staff about offers and changes to the menu.
It's dining 2.0.
Re-imagining the customer experience
In all of these industries, the object of technology is to re-invent the customer journey and merge the best of physical, online and mobile to create a personalised, engaging and intuitive experience for the consumer.
Technology is also at work backstage.
LFDs with SSSP software keep employees informed about changes to shifts, stock issues and emergencies while connected mobile devices allow staff to communicate and collaborate effectively no matter where they are. It keeps the operation fluid and efficient.
In addition, much of the technology is cost-effective and green.
• Samsung's LED lighting provides power savings of 80 percent for the life of the bulb and last 40 times longer than regular bulbs.
• The d-LED BLU technology on Samsung's LFDs uses less electricity than traditional cold cathode fluorescent lamp displays, meaning lower operating costs.
• Efficient, smart air conditioning systems, like Samsung's DVM VRF system, paired with sensors to detect an unoccupied room, can drastically reduce unnecessary power usage.
Those who choose to embrace these new technologies choose a dynamic architecture of clever, connected devices that will improve customer engagement, streamline processes and, ultimately, boost profits.

As you fire up the grill, clean out the pool, and pack away your winter clothes, don't forget to get your air conditioner ready for the summer season too! Every winter, hundreds of homeowners purchase new heating systems and because of the drastic savings that are offered out of season, these homeowners often invest in a new air conditioning system as well. With the chill of winter behind us now, it is time to get that new air conditioner set up and ready for the season. Four Seasons has been calling around to all of our customers that need their air conditioners started up, but still there are many of you that haven't scheduled your free start-up appointment!
Don't Wait for the Heat to Start-Up Your New A/C!
When we install an air conditioner over the winter, the unit cannot be properly charged and tested because of the cold weather. The pressures and Freon levels will be off, and the unit will not work properly. If we were to start up the unit during the winter season with the cold weather, we could do serious damage to the compressor, and because of the cold weather, any adjustments we would make would be wrong for the heat of summer. That is why we always try to schedule a start up early in the summer season. We want your air conditioner to be ready when you need it, but you have to schedule your start-up first! Don't get left out in the heat and enjoy the many benefits your new air conditioner will have to offer! Call Four Seasons now to schedule your air conditioner start-up!

)A program that translates source code into object code. The compiler derives its name from the way it works, looking at the entire piece of source code and collecting and reorganizing the instructions. Thus, a compiler differs from an interpreter, which analyzes and executes each line of source code in succession, without looking at the entire program. The advantage of interpreters is that they can execute a program immediately. Compilers require some time before an executable program emerges. However, programs produced by compilers runmuch faster than the same programs executed by an interpreter.
Every high-level programming language (except strictly interpretive languages) comes with a compiler. In effect, the compiler is the language, because it defines which instructions are acceptable.
Because compilers translate source code into object code, which is unique for each type of computer, many compilers are available for the same language. For example, there is a FORTRAN compiler for PCs and another for Apple Macintosh computers. In addition, the compiler industry is quite competitive, so there are actually many compilers for each language on each type of computer. More than a dozen companies develop and sell Ccompilers for the PC.

It brings together a whole generation of humankind, from across the world and across all walks of life, in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common - our planet. It is a call to stand up, to take responsibility, to get involved and lead the way towards a sustainable future.

Yakshagana is a dance-drama form of coastal and Malnad region Karnataka. Usually scenes from great Hindu epics like Ramayana, Mahabharatha are recited and enacted in Yakshagana and could be closely compared to the Chinese opera. The characters paint their faces with bright hues and wear intricately adorned headgear. Their attire again is very vivid and colourful usually accompanied by weapons if the character is a king or if its a battle scene. More information about this traditional dance form could be found at: http://www.yakshaganapuppets.com/ or http://www.yaksharanga.org/ or http://www.yakshagana.com/
I happened to witness Yakshagana show at the Sri Varasiddi Vinayaka temple on Nagarbhavi road over the weekend. The speciality of this show was that all the characters were kids, 12-15 year-olds from Baalayakshavrunda, Samskaara Bharathi, Vijayanagar. They enacted the story of Mahabharatha. The best part was I had complete access to green room and I was the only photographer covering the event. The kids put up a wonderful show and it was very easy to photograph them. Below are the photographs of the same.

Try some of our alternative fish suppers, Healthy fish & chips with tartare sauce, Cod with tomato & chorizo sauce or Pesto & olive-crusted fish.
- Mix all the sauce ingredients together. Set aside. Lay the fish and bay leaves in a frying pan. Pour over the milk and 150ml/¼ pint water. Cover, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 4 mins. Take off the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 mins to gently finish cooking the fish.
- Meanwhile, peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized chunks. Put them in a saucepan and just cover with boiling water. Add a pince of salt, bring back to the boil and simmer for 10 mins or until tender, but not broken up.
- Lift the fish out of the milk with a slotted spoon and put on a plate to cool. Drain the potatoes in a colander and leave for a min or two. Tip them back into the hot pan on the lowest heat you can and let them dry out for 1 min, mashing them with a fork and stirring so they don't stick. You should have a light, dry fluffy mash. Take off the heat and beat in 1 rounded tbsp of the sauce, then the lemon zest, parsley and chives. Season well with salt and pepper. The potato should have a good flavour, so taste and adjust to suit.
- Drain off liquid from the fish, grind some pepper over it, then flake it into big chunks into the pan of potatoes. Using your hands, gently lift the fish and potatoes together so they just mix (see pic 1). You'll only need a couple of turns, or the fish will break up too much. Put to one side and cool.
- Beat the egg on a large plate and lightly flour a board. Spread the breadcrumbs on a baking sheet. Divide the fish cake mixture into four. On the floured board, and with floured hands, carefully shape into four cakes, about 2.5cm thick (pic 2). One by one, sit each cake in the egg, and brush over the top and sides so it is completely coated (pic 3). Sit the cakes on the crumbs, patting the crumbs on the sides and tops so they are lightly covered. Transfer to a plate, cover and chill for 30 mins (or up to a day ahead).
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. To test when ready, drop a piece of the dry breadcrumbs in - if it sizzles and quickly turns golden brown, it is ready to use. Fry the fish cakes over a medium heat for about 5 mins on each side or until crisp and golden. Serve with the rest of the sauce (squeeze in a little lemon zest to taste), lemon wedges for squeezing over and watercress.

Comments, questions and tips
Fabulous fish cakes! I used wild salmon and plain haddock. Had never done fish cakes with potatoes in them before and was impressed. Used the tartare sauce recipe from another GF recipe since I liked the ingredients more (included gherkins, added a nice hint of sweet) but I'm sure either is a good choice. A keeper for sure!
Still making this recipe so it is officially a keeper. One thing, I put all the tartar sauce ingredients in my magic bullet and whizzed it up. I also used less mayo and a bit more of the capers and parsley. It came out lovely, green, fluffy and super tasty. For anyone who is afraid this recipe is too much work, I have found it worth the trouble. And the fact that you can break up the tasks with no damage to the results means with a little planning, it doesn't have to be onerous.
It's lovely to read the different types of fish this recipe works with so well! I shockingly had all the ingredients except a lemon (and ran out for that!). I love the sauce because it's so different from American tartar sauce which is fairly bland. We are happy fish eaters on Fridays so this one is a great addition to my repertoire! Many thanks!
Excellent recipe - enjoyed by all. I made these last night in roughly the right proportions, using chopped up smoked salmon and cooked king prawns (leftover from Christmas day starters and frozen on the day) and a small piece of haddock found lurking at the bottom of the freezer. Delicious! They'd be great without the sauce, but with it they're outstanding.
I made these fish cakes using basa fillets and smoke salmon. I omitted the tartare sauce because I didn't have all of the ingredients but used some mayo to bind together. I served them as a starter with soured cream mixed with some chopped parsley, chives and lemon juice.
They did take a lot longer than 30 mins but it was worth it it as they were yummy and would definitely make them again!!
These fish cakes were delicious! And also HUGE! I made some slight adjustments to the recipe. I used a mixed fish pack which contained salmon, haddock and smoked haddock. I hadn't read the recipe properly and decided to make a different sauce rather than the tartare, but as I was making the fish cakes realised I needed some tartare sauce to actually put in them! Consequently I wasn't prepared and didn't have any capers and so did not add them to the tartare sauce and it still tasted lovely. I served the fish cakes with a prawn cream sauce that I made myself using butter, cream, a little of the leftover fishy poaching milk and some prawns, really really nice.
I doubled the recipe as I was cooking for 6 and had two leftover which I put in the freezer for another day. Will absolutely be making them again, and again!

Light, flexible and intuitive multimedia player, converter and editor
Thanks to Flip Player, you can play all file formats supported by Apple's QuickTime app, like MOV, AAC, H.264 and MP4. What is more, you can add support for more file formats through QuickTime components such as Flip4Mac. Hence, you can add support for WMV and WMA to Flip Player.
The distraction-free video playback environment provided by the Dim Light feature allows you to dim the background of your display and focus on the played video. This, combined with the support for Retina Display monitors enables you to get pixel-to-pixel fidelity without scaling or interpolation and preserve the sharpness and crisp of your video.
Fade out any distraction and enjoy the played video on your Retina Display or big-screen TV
The minimalistic and user-oriented interface automatically fades-in the navigation controls and displayed them only when you need them. The uncluttered and simple design makes it easy for you to skim through your video, fast-forward, rewind and jump or step without obscuring the video content.
Moreover, Flip Player's built-in converter helps you convert your multimedia content using predefined encoding profiles and import the media in various applications such as iMovie, iPhoto, iTunes or Mail. You can also convert them to file formats supported by your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV.
Expand Flip Player's feature list and capabilities by upgrading to the Pro version
More demanding users, can upgrade to the Pro, Studio or Studio Pro HD versions of Flip Player. The Pro version offers a Slow-Motion playback feature that can slow down the playback to one quarter of the original speed and allows you to use the JKL commands to slow down the video.
Amateur, as well as professional video editors will also love the JKL navigation keys and Command/Period stepping for a more efficient playback control. The premium features also include scale, trim, crop and rotate.
The conversion capabilities are also enhanced and can help you create ringtones and export content to Final Cut Pro.

After an
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, you lose leg
strength and motion and stability of the knee. It is important that you regain
your leg strength and motion as soon as possible, whether you choose to have
surgery for your ACL injury or not. Exercises to regain muscle strength and
knee motion should begin before you start treatment, whether treatment is a
rehabilitation (rehab) program only or surgery plus rehab.
The exercises outlined here are common exercises used
after an ACL injury. But your doctor may create a specific set of exercises for
you. Check with your doctor before you do any exercises.
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of four
knee ligaments that connect the upper leg bone (femur)
with the large lower leg bone (tibia). The ACL stabilizes knee movement by:
See a picture of the
knee and the ACL.
When the ACL tears, the blood vessels around the
ligament tear and blood can fill the knee joint, causing swelling. This can
result in both pain and loss of motion. The inactivity following an ACL injury
often results in weakening of the muscle in the front of your thigh, the
quadriceps. If nothing is done after an ACL injury, you may develop
chronic ACL deficiency—your knee may become less

Treatment is needed for an ACL injury. Treatment
is either a rehab program or ACL surgery followed by a rehab program. Surgery
is generally more successful if you condition your knee and surrounding muscles

Big Brother knows where your kids are, or at least where their clothes are
Let's say it's getting late and little Billy isn't home from school yet. Don't bother calling around to track him down, just have a satellite tell you where he is. Wait, what? Yep, clothing company Trutex is thinking about putting GPS tracking devices on school uniforms for children across the pond in Lancashire, U.K. Parents will have no trouble finding out exactly where their children are as long as they're in uniform. As you might expect, parents have reportedly expressed interest in the idea. The kids… well, not so much.
No one wants to feel like they're under the eyes of Big Brother, including school kids. The lack of privacy would allow for obvious benefits if a child went missing, but, for the same reason, we're betting kids will stow a spare outfit in their schoolbags.

1. Get you foster kids in groups activities.
One of the toughest parts of school for many kid is dealing with peers and making friends. Getting your foster kids into group activities such as youth group or sports can allow them to make friends before going to school. People pass judgment over appearance or preconceived ideas of what "foster kid" means. I think it's easier to get to know someone during an activity compared to after just sitting in classroom allowing those preconceived ideas to set in. Having friends before school, even just knowing people, opens the door to networking with even more people.
2. Discuss school expectations.
Discuss with your foster kids what you expect in your home when it comes to school. If this child is new to your home don't assume that somethings are just common sense. I always think it's important to put everything out there that your expect from your foster children so there is no misunderstandings. Let your kids know what kind of grades you expect, the behavior expect and also the actions you expect out of them. For example I think that with my help and guidance my kids can AT LEAST be able to get a C+ or above. I expect them to behave in class with respect for both the staff and other kids. I expect them to follow through with the actions of coming straight home after school. Remember as humans we don't learn well by being told "do this because I said so". Give a reason the rule is important, not only because it's less confrontational and more caring, but they understand what the consequences for their actions may be.
3. Let your foster kids get familiar with the area.
One of my bigger anxieties about going to school was not knowing where to go. I would think about embarrassing things that happen, like being that person that was sitting in the wrong class or forgetting where my locker was. My foster parents helped me a lot by letting me get familiar with the school ahead of time. I was able to see where my classes and locker were and also where I would need to go throughout the day. Small things like finding where the restroom was so I didn't end up getting lost were one less thing to worry about.
4. Discuss social situations and how to handle them.
Some kids have more social issues then others but everyone has something at one point. Whether it's being a foster kid, a kid of divorced parents, or even losing a parent, we all face things that make our lives different from others. Make sure you take the time to discuss these issues with your foster kids so they know how to respond to them. Also discuss with them what they are able to do with friends. It's sometimes an awkward thing for kids if they don't know what they are allowed to do. Let them know if they are allowed to have friends over or would be able to go to a friend's house if the opportunity arose and things worked out. If they are older you may discuss with them if they are allowed to ride with people or what people they may not need to hang around.
5. Help your foster kids feel comfortable with themselves.
Do what you can to make your foster kids feel comfortable with themselves. Make sure you let them know how much you care and how awesome they are. If you're able to let them help pick out their clothes, back pack, and school supplies they are more likely to feel comfortable with themselves. As a foster kid you feel like the odd one out. It's cool to be yourself, but sometimes you just want to fit in. You want to dress like the other kids or have some of the "normal" things like they have. Sometimes being taught that you can be comfortable with yourself is the first step to being comfortable in your atmosphere.

European Youth of Norway (JEF Norway) is a cross-party youth organization working for Norwegian membership in the EU, and improved and strengthened European cooperation.
Download our information brochure in your language here:
Bosnian / Serbian / Croatian folder
Our organization is a meeting place for young people who are either interested in, working with or studying the EU and European issues. Our members are between the age of 13 and 30.
What can we offer you?
- International Projects
JEF Norway has a strong international commitment. In 2011, we have, amongst other places, projects in Belarus and on the Balkans. Topics discussed are democracy, organizational development and support for a strengthened civil society, in the countries and areas concerned.
- Visit Europe
We give you the opportunity to experience the EU from the inside with our annual study trips to Brussels and other political capitals in Europe.
- Volunteer in Europe
We give you the opportunity to work from 3 months up to one year as a volunteer (EVS) in Europe through the Youth in Action program.
- Seminars in Europe
Together with JEF Europe, our regional umbrella organization, we offer you the possibility to participate in seminars, exchanges and conferences all over Europe. Please visit europeiskungdom.no or jef.eu for more information.
- National events
We have three major national events every year: Winter Conference (January), Summer Camp (June / July), and Student Conference (September-October). Check our website for more information.
Why do we work for a Norwegian EU membership and European cooperation?
- EU creates opportunities
The EU cooperation enables us to travel without passports, live and work where we want, and not least to study, free of charge, in almost 30 European countries.
- EU creates a stronger Europe
We believe that all European countries should actively contribute in creating a safer Europe and to secure peace in our part of the world. It's not more than 10 years since the last was war on the Balkans, and not more than 20 years since communism split Europe in two.
- EU solves crossborder challenges
27 European countries solve crossborder challenges related to climate and environment, migration, energy supplies and trade, every day. But only member countries have real influence in the making of EU policies.
- EU spreads democracy and human rights
The EU is the world's leading aid donor and the UN's most important supporter and contributor. EU countries currently pay half of the UN budget. In addition, the EU spreads important values such as democracy, freedom and human rights.
Want to join us?
Our main goal is a new EU referendum in Norway and more focus on Europe in Norwegian politics. To achieve this we must be more visible, stronger and bigger. You can help us with this by joining JEF Norway. Membership costs 50 NOK per year (approx. €8). Membership is open to young people under the age of 30.
How to sign up?
- Either: Send an SMS with «EU50 + name + date of birth (ddmmyy)» to 2040.
- Or: Join via www.europeiskungdom.no ("Meld meg inn"-form).
For any questions contact us at email@example.com.
Resident outside Norway?

Because a democracy is a government led by its people, voting to elect our leaders is a vital responsibility. With November's presidential election just four months away, the campaigns are heating up. Here are some online resources for kids and teens to learn about the American political process and keep up with the candidates.
BrainPOP: U.S. Presidential Elections5 stars
The BrainPOP movies are a perennial Surfnetkids favorite for elementary and middle-school kids. This one introduces the concepts of democracy, the two-party system, conventions, campaigning, voting and the electoral college. It even presents an overview of the 2000 tie-breaking Florida recount. After the movie, test your knowledge by taking the quiz, and then click on over to the Electoral College movie to learn more.
MTV: Choose or Lose3 stars
Created to mobilize twenty million potential voters under the age of the thirty, Choose or Lose is one part education, one part entertainment, and one part promotion. Best educational clicks for high-school students are Voting 101 (Political Conventions, What are Swing States?) and Vote Smart (position papers in printable PDF on topics such as the environment and health care.) Best just-for-fun click is "Their Heads, Your Words" where you can submit a funny caption for the picture of the week.
PBS: Kids Democracy Project5 stars
This PBS site for grades three to six is evergreen because it does not specifically cover the 2004 elections, but rather the process itself. "How Does Government Affect Me?" is the largest of the three sections, with pages of learning on topics as diverse as funding local schools to checks and balances in the three branches of the federal government. "President for a Day" is an interactive exercise where you learn all about the president's duties by creating your own presidential agenda.
Rock the Vote3 stars
Rock the Vote makes "political participation cool" by "incorporating the entertainment community and youth culture into its activities." Educational articles are interspersed with free MP3 downloads, and drawings for tickets to Rock the Vote fund-raising concerts. Learn election basics in Election 101 (you'll find it under Issues in the main horizontal menu.) Get answers to your voter registration questions in Voting FAQ (look for it under Action.)
Scholastic: Election 20045 stars
Scholastic: Election 2004 is my pick-of- the-day for grades three through eight. The audio site tour by Scholastic reporters Alana and Daniel introduces each of the five site sections, and is a great way to begin. My favorite clicks are Meet the Candidates (in Countdown to Election Day), History of our Elections (link on the homepage) and all the Activities. Activities include interactive and printable quizzes, an online scavenger hunt, a poll, and a terrific "If You Were President" game. Look for them in each of the sections.

"I am only sorry I didn't have the courage to undertake a course years earlier. It has given me a new lease of life and whilst I do eventually wish to work in the field of counselling I understand in today's climate this will not be an easy task to achieve, but NUI Galway has taught me there is a big world out there. Like much in life you only get out of it what you put in."
Mary Whelan
"I was delighted with the course & found it to be of great benefit to me in lots of ways. One of my reasons for doing the course was for personal development & it certainly helped in many ways. The challenge of doing the essays was new to me & while I found it tough going at the time it was very rewarding when the task was done. The teachers were very committed to the course & put a lot of work into it. While we were only a one night a week course I felt we were part of college life & the conferring was the icing on the cake. As a group, I think we got on very well so, for me, it was a very positive experience."

Dear App Store game developers, knock it off with the useless push notifications
Out of all the gaming device in my house -- and there are dozens -- my iPhone and iPad are the most frequently played simply because they are the easiest to pick up for a few minutes at a time. I -- and I imagine many of you as well -- play games on mobile devices when I'm bored or simply have a few minutes to kill on a break. But what I've never done is play a game because the game begged me to do so.
Lately, more and more App Store game developers have included push notification functionality in their apps. When you install an app and it asks permission to use push notifications, it's a brief but important test of trust. For most games, and especially for ones that I've paid for, I have (or at least "had") a tendency to trust that I wouldn't be bombarded with unnecessary notifications. But lately that's completely changed.
Instead of apps that actually need to use this functionality requesting access to it -- like those with social leaderboards or turn-based games -- now just about every popular app wants permission to bug you. The notifications being pushed by many games aren't alerts on game status or announcements of important bug fixes or features, but simply reminders that the game exists.
"Come back for another race!" No thanks.
"Your minions miss you!" I'm sure they'll get over it.
"The mission isn't over yet, soldier!" Well it will be once I delete the app.
If your game has to remind me to play it, doesn't that say something about the quality of the game itself? And if I've not played your game for a week and it decides to beep loudly in the middle of the night to tell me it "misses" me, it'll be deleted by the time the sun rises. I promise.
Then there's the blatant advertising. Instead of telling you to return to the game in a transparent attempt to manufacture a non-existent addiction, some apps push advertisements for the developer's other titles. This is absolutely inexcusable.
You want to use in-app ads to push your own wares? Fine. You want to make money off of in-app purchases that actually make your game fun to play? Go for it. You want to use my device's own built-in alert system to force an advertisement into my daily routine? Your apps will no longer be part of my mobile life.
At the moment, I've taken to denying every request for push notifications from games simply because they, as a whole, can't be trusted any longer.
You want to impress me with a new app? Include "No obnoxious push notifications" in your list of features. I'll be the first one to play it.

Online shopping and telecommuting may not reduce carbon emissions
A new report from Newcastle University says that online shopping and telecommuting could be having the opposite effect on the environment than intended. Instead of reducing carbon emissions these activities may actually be increasing them.
The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) at Newcastle released the report that looked at the "rebound effect" of practices that are supposed to be green.
Rebound effects are the unintended consequences of policies that are designed to reduce emissions, but on closer analysis can move the emission's production elsewhere or lessen the positive impact.
Working from home was found to increase energy use by 30 percent increasing emissions. Another problem with telecommuting is that it could increase urban sprawl as people feel free to move farther from their work.
The study found that environmental savings can be achieved if online shopping replaces 3.5 traditional shopping trips, or if 25 orders are delivered at the same time, or, if the distance travelled to where the purchase is made is more than 50km (31 miles).
This study was conducted in Britain. It would be interesting if the study were conducted internationally to see if the results would be the same. For instance different countries or areas of a country have different cultures of transportation. Some countries have excellent mass transit systems that are easy to use and cover extensive areas making it a better choice for travel than automobiles. In other countries more people walk or ride bicycles as opposed to traveling by car. In yet other spread out rural areas cars are the only way to travel.
Would a similar study in America show similar results or would different areas of the country show up differently?
Whatever the final results would be, conducting this study in other areas could prove beneficial for local policy planning. What works in New York City or Boston won't work for New Orleans or Jackson, Mississippi.
As Professor Phil Blythe, Chair of the IET Transport Policy Panel and Professor of Intelligent Transport Systems at Newcastle University, which produced the report, says:
"Our report highlights two important messages for policy makers. Firstly, climate change is a real threat to our planet, so we must not get overwhelmed by the task and use rebound effects as an excuse not to act.
"Secondly, policy makers must do their homework to ensure that rebound effects do not negate the positive benefits of their policy initiatives and simply move carbon emissions from one sector to another."
Statewide or national policies don't always work everywhere. In order to optimize our approach to climate change, we need to fine tune each area like you optimize the different parts of a bicycle – just the right frame, then the right wheels, then the gears, and the brakes.
Optimization for mountain rural communities will be very different than for dense urban areas. Or will it? Until more wide ranging studies like this one are conducted we just won't know.

"As Seen on TV" isn't just for the Slap Chop and ShamWow anymore–now sex toys are sold on television too. I recently saw this commercial for Trojan's new vibrator, eh I mean personal massager. And to think, when I was a kid I thought panty liner commercials were embarrassing.
The ad says it's so good, "It'll blow your hair back." But the real question is, why is the guy's hair blown back too?

In a recent piece (here) the Zero's political reporter, Jeff Mapes, creeps into the dark bushes of Oregon's political forest and spots the glowing eyes of Oregon's supposed "blue dog" Democrat Kurt Schrader:
Rep. Kurt Schrader, one of a dwindling band of fiscally conservative Blue Dog Democrats, once again pushed for a plan of tough-to-stomach tax hikes and budget cuts as envisioned by the Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction commission.
Schrader voted for Stimulus I, Stimulus II, TARP I and TARP II, and Cap and Tax and endless bail outs which have resulted in adding $5 Trillion to the debt and keeping the growth in the economy bumping along the bottom in recession and near recession. This is not fiscally conservative. Being slightly better than the rest of the Oregon Democrat Congressional Delegation on fiscal issues--and that's debatable-- doesn't make Schrader conservative; it makes him only slightly less awful than the rest of them. The real fiscal conservatives in the 5th Congressional District know it; it's about time the political scribes at the Zero started reporting it.
