ViViFi technology introduces a new smart, safe, healthy electric switches that can be used anywhere. Its waterproof switch so there are no constrains on the place where the switches will be used, no fear from short circuits or electric shocks, it's simply behind walls!
1- Electrical Switches:
ViViFi technology introduces a new smart, safe, healthy electric switches that can be used anywhere. Its waterproof switch so there are no constrains on the place where the switches will be used, no fear from short circuits or electric shocks, it's simply behind walls! By using touch sticker technology, multiple switch applications can be used at once, e.g. tuning light on and off, increasing or decreasing light intensity by slide touch, controlling smart home solutions including all devices and applications.Such an innovation has the extreme advantage of being hygiene, anti-bacterial that it can be washed and sanitized easily. It does not require any fixation or mounting on the wall except for a simple drawing or engraved shape, and thus it would be highly beneficial to use it in hospitals and homes.
In contrast with normal switches, our innovated switches contain no high voltage devices, which increases its safety to the maximum. They can be easily washed by water or any other liquids very easily. When those switches are used, there will be no unreachable parts to wash and no bacterial environment will exist accordingly.
One of the most outstanding features of our highly innovative switches, is its multitasking nature, meaning that you can perform multiple tasks using a single circuit- single switch; e.g. turning on/off the light, controlling light intensity, turning air conditioner on/off and controlling its temperature using only a single switch! Glowing feature is also one feature that differentiates those switches from normal ones. The glowing feature allows users to easily allocate the switches in dark areas. Adding our touch switch will add many features better than normal electric switches.
Our technology introduces a new smart, safe, hygienic electric switches that can be used anywhere an electric switches is needed, its waterproof switch so there are no constrains on the place where the switches will be used (Bathrooms, Kitchens, Chemical labs, etc,) no fear from short circuits or electric shocks, it's simply behind the walls! The Vivifi product is very safe, as it is installed behind the wall, making it completely unaffected by shocks and with the possibility of water reaching it with time is very low compared to available products.
Designs of available switches have so much details, which make them harder to clean, leading to dirt and bacteria forming on them - and this can be mostly observed in public places. The product of our project isآ extremely hygienic, the surface is flat, and hence is easy to clean, as all the electronic circuits are in the wall without any complex casing out of the wall ,So the possibility of dirt and bacteria forming on it is very low asآ there are no longer unreachable areas to clean.
Long Lifetime:
Our switch have a very long lifetime compared to other switches because of the absence of mechanical switches which have shorter life time due two mechanical fraction , and it can be damaged by water or even by anyآ hard shock on the mechanical switch . On the other hand our switches are waterproof, no mechanical fraction, Hard Shock resistibility.
Custom Design:
Companies manufacture electric switches in many shapes trying to make them fit with various interior designs, yet they do not manufacture different shapes based on the requirements of a specific interior design. They also manufacture switches that have only one function such as turning the lights on, and the user cannot change their shapes or functions. The Vivifi product can be reshaped to go with various interior designs, as it can be installed behind tiles, wood, glass, or any metallic material used in decoration. Also, its shape can be designed as per the designer's needs, such as having it in the form of a lit snowflake on the wall. My company also offers designers the option of determining the switch's function, for example having it control the light's intensity.
Glowing feature can be used to easily allocate the switches in dark rooms unlike normal switch which is hard to allocate in dark areas. Our stickers will glow in dark areas so you don't need to search for the switch in the dark, it founds your finger!!
Economic Feasibility:
According to previous industrial feasibility this will lead to a great economic feasibility. Adding a new touch feature to normal electric switch will greatly increase its sales compared to normal electric switches, as the new switch will be very interactive, easy to use, easy to locate, washable all these above feature will make the touch switch number one in sales compared to other electric switches. The touch switch will not contain any mechanical parts so the cost will be decreased, it will not contain any exposed parts so it's very safe with no fear from electric shock. Not only the touch switch will have all these features but also with lower price so it will combine adding a new features with lowering the cost , which will increase company's income significantly .
2- Advertising Panels:
One of the amazing applications of such an invention is the advertising stickers. Touch sticker technology can be applied on all advertising indoor screens turning audiences' experience from the traditional passive experience into a funny interactive one. Users can explore all design aspects of any advertised products through animations using only a simple screen on which a transparent touch sticker is fixed. One of our main feature is the custom design of the touch advertising tools so you can design your own touch Mannequin to advertise the clothes or you can do it with any shape of your mind. Product lines, price of each product, options and characteristics of each product can be interactively explored by users in a highly attractive way using this innovation.
Economic Feasibility:
According to previous features, interactive advertising is the future of the advertising where no need to get the costumer to see your advertise, instead the user will be very excited while exploring your products or using your advertising tools. So advertising tools sales will increase significantly due to the combination the new technology with advertising business which produces a new era in interactive advertising.
3- Touch Menus:
By using touch sticker technology, restaurants will never be the same. Clients will no longer need waiters to order their desired meals. Only smart menus fixed on the wall or drawn papers on the tables will do the job. Just by touching the drawing of the desired meal, customers can order for themselves with no waste of time or catering. Fast food will get much faster than ever and automation will be the main feature of future restaurants.
Economic Feasibility:
According to above features the restaurants will have no queues the costumers will reduce the wait time accordingly the costumers served by unit time will increased compared to other restaurants which have no just system attached. So as the numbers of costumers served by unit time increase the total income will increase and you can save a waiter. So the sales with such new modern system will be increased significantly.
4- ViViFi Integrated Circuits:
Touch controllers are semiconductor integrated circuits used to sense and condition position data from touch screens. Touch controllers market is a subset of the touch-screen market which is currently witnessing high growth. Historically, touch screens have been used in industrial equipment, kiosks, and other non-consumer products. In the past few years touch screens have rapidly been penetrating areas such as mobile phones, portable navigation devices, gaming, and other applications. Indeed, the advent of the Apple iPhone in 2007 and Apple iPad in 2010 has resulted in a seismic increase in the touch controller business. Spurred by the success of Apple's iPhone and iPad, shipments of touch screen displays in devices like smartphones and media tablets are booming, causing the market for touch controller integrated circuits (ICs) to almost triple in size within five short years. vivifi business model for the first three years involves the designing and licensing of Intellectual Property (IP) rather than the manufacturing and selling of actual semiconductor chips (i.e. fabless company model). We license IP to a network of customers, which includes the semiconductor integrated device manufacturers (IDM) and original equipment manufacturers (OEM). Those customers utilize Vivifi IP designs to create and manufacture system-on-chip designs, paying Vivifi a license fee for the original IP and a royalty on every chip or wafer produced.

Zehoo centralizes a user's documents from a multitude of sources making them searchable, viewable and shareable from your smartphone. Zehoo enables users to maximize their online experience by seamlessly integrating document content into their established online routine where their documents are neatly organized and readily viewable to simply store and file on the cloud and use in ways not previously possible.
The emergence of cloud storage platforms has radically grown over the last 10 years with products such as Gmail, Dropbox and others. What we didn't expect was the clutter that would emerge as a result of having multiple storage services. With every cloud service offering limited free space, consumers landed up with their private and confidential documents in different locations. Consumers often have to jump between services, logging in and out of each account whilst trying to find specific documents. Zehoo is the next step in cloud productivity and innovation. What it does is simple: it grabs all user documents from the various cloud locations and pulls them through into a single and unified document inbox. Zehoo is a mobile application as well as a web application. This enables registered users to configure, view, edit and organize their documents in the office as well as while they are on the road.
Zehoo is a free consumer app that anyone can register for, which enables private company documents to be viewed, edited and shared by closed communities (with enhanced security). The enterprise version is currently in development applicable to the corporate world, with the emergence of decentralized offices and collaborative operational methodologies. The app is available on the Android Google Play store.The app makes special use of fax to mail technology and has developed strategic partnerships with some of the biggest license holders in Africa and Asia.The app creates a single Universal Document Inbox by grabbing and aggregating all documents stored in the cloud, as well as mail attachments (sent and received) into 1 APP with 1 LOGIN and 1 USER EXPERIENCE: Zehoo.
The core component of Zehoo is that all document images, prior to being received by the user, are subject to OCR, which renders the document useful to the user in being able to search within content and editing un-editable documents and also to be able to offer contextual advertising to generate revenue as well as analytics. Users can store documents in mail attachments, on cloud storage services known as Public Cloud and on personal computers and networks, known as the Private Cloud. Zehoo solves the problem of a user having documents stored across all these platforms by simplifying document management from one application.
Zehoo enables users to manage and organize all storage items from within the app. Documents can be viewed, renamed and folders can be created. Documents can now be shared as links via social media as well as by mail attachments. OCR enables text editing of imaged documents as well as the ability to search for documents across all storage platforms simultaneously using document name as well as keyword of document content. A unique Fax to Mail number is allocated which enables the user to fax physical documents directly into the app. Documents can also be emailed directly to the app as well as uploading of camera images of documents.

Being part of the "Class of 2012" in the inaugural Demo Africa Challenge was quite an honour for us. I never knew that we could successfully pitch the iPay product in under 6 minutes!
We are already talking to potential investors and this is a significant milestone for us. We have already closed some deals with other participants from other parts of Africa at Demo Africa 2012! The press also received our product very well. It was great to get all the attention. As far as we are concerned, the only way for iPay now is up! up! up!
I was privileged to present Mobiflock at the inaugural DEMO Africa event in Nairobi, Kenya. The event was a whirlwind of inspiration, constructive feedback, endorsement and meeting face-to-face with some of the leading minds on the continent. The format is cleverly worked out to keep even the most attention deficit entrepreneur gripped, and there is ample time for networking, getting to know fellow demonstrators and meeting other stakeholders. I left clutching a valuable pile of business cards, feeling delighted with the exposure Mobiflock had received.
For us at mPawa DEMO has brought us more than Investment. Even though we are yet to close a full round of funding estimated at about $280K, we have had the privilege of closing a partnership deal that was valued at $55,000.00 to access a market value of over $5m in Kenya alone. This is the most significant and direct impact we have had being at DEMO in 2012. Others are media reach and marketing which we valued at over $25,000 over the last 10 months.

Idaho has a bill allowing "live bait" to draw in wolves....
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 02-20-2012 - 2:00pm
While it doesn't actually mention dogs....it does contain the words "live bait" which could be dogs, horses....etc.
|Tue, 02-21-2012 - 10:34am
I should think that would quilafy as animal cruelty! To the bait, especially, as well as th wwolves.
|Tue, 02-21-2012 - 12:58pm
I believe it does....but since when has animal cruelty been a priority, especially when it comes to wildlife?
|Wed, 02-22-2012 - 10:06am
This was on our local news station the other day~
I can definitely understand that farmers are suffering from the loss of their cattle, but using the family dog as bait just seems wrong. In fact, I can't imagine someone really using the family dog. It would be a real shame to see people grabbing strays, adopting or buying pets for this use.

I am so happy with these shorts. They are the perfect fit because they are a little bit longer then your standard short length. I love this because I can't stand when my shorts ride up and are super annoying because I'm constantly pulling them down but I don't have to worry about that with these shorts. They are stretchy so they fit nice and tight (no saggy bum) but are still soft and non restricting.

Who concerns you the most in the AFCN
We all know the clowns are much of a worry this year. They may surprise a few people in a few games, but overall, they arent a major threat in the division this season.
So who concerns u the most..the ratbirds, or the bengals ( u know how hard it is for me not say bung..., but out of respect to our bengal friends I will refrain ;) )
Re: Who concerns you the most in the AFCN
I picked the Ravens. Im hoping with all the new additions they turn into the Redskins lol. But they improved the most of all the teams in our division.
Re: Who concerns you the most in the AFCN
Im not so much worried about the Ravens as long as Kyle Boller is the quarterback. The Bengals seem to be heading in the right direction right now...
Enough about them, Lets go STEELERS!!!!!!!!!
Re: Who concerns you the most in the AFCN
The ratbirds will only go as far as Boller will carry them, and so far, that isnt very far! The bengals are improved, but their troubles getting their big draft pick signed and in camp will hurt. They have a pretty good defense as well.
But here's to the black n gold heading up the AFCN after December !! :cheers:
Re: Who concerns you the most in the AFCN
I'd have to say the Raven's. Until the Bengals prove they can win I will never consider them a threat. The Raven's on the other hand have proven they can win and they still have a good D. That will make them tough even with Boller as the QB. If Boller settles in and plays well they will give us a run. If not then we should have the division by 2-3 games easy.
Re: Who concerns you the most in the AFCN
I'll say you have to watch out for the Bengals, Only bc the defense is improved and if the offense clicks it will be hard to stop it....Now if Ben does not have a sophmore slump I will say the steelers are the Bengals biggest threat.....And Cleveland better watch out bc with Boller leading the Ravens, they could easily lose the last place spot in the division.
Re: Who concerns you the most in the AFCN
This is a hard one. Right now I'm not completely sure who I see as our biggest threat. With what I saw from the Bengals last night, I can't say I was completely impressed with their starters esp. with their offense. However, it is preseason, this is something I think I will have more of a grasp on once regular season starts
Re: Who concerns you the most in the AFCN
The AFCN, who concerns me most? That would be the Pittsburgh Steelers. We have a great team. In this division it would take a total melt down by us, for us not to win it. Our defense is the best in the division, and maybe the NFL. And it is defense that will win it for us again. Our offense is good enough to win it all. Injuries always play a part, sometimes it isn`t the best team in the end, its the healthiest. So if we don`t beat ourselves, and Ben improves just a little, because our offense isn`t centered around having to have an explosive passing game, we will win the AFCN, the AFC and the fifth ring.
Re: Who concerns you the most in the AFCN
The bengals scare me the most it's not the Ravens I know we can split the series or even sweep them. But it's the Bengals that could actually sweep us just becuz there offensive fire power. But it's going to be really interesting but I has to be the Bengals. IMO
Re: Who concerns you the most in the AFCN
:iagree: Couldnt have said it better myself cleve... but no fair bringing the obvious into it :rofl:

College students and best friends Ginger Matheson, Jim Duncan, and Kyle "Dixie" Canning, pool their cash to buy a "ghost" in an online auction. The three think it's all a goof, but once they open up the antique box to examine their "treasure," they unleash the vengeful spirit of an Irish servant girl who has been wreaking havoc on her owners throughout the generations
I am the most indulgent non-believer you're ever going to meet, I love ghost stories, I love so called "real" ghost stories, reports of demons, show me your psychic powers, I'm all ears. Tell me about the ghost that used to come into your room late at night in your sorority house and touch you dirty, I want to know about it! I will listen to your ghost story with the utmost attention and interest and at the end of the day I won't believe a single of it. But for me it's not about believing, it's not about if you can convince me it's real, I want to hear the story, I like the ride and I love hearing a good yarn. And I'll even placate you if you tell me a GOOD enough ghost story but it can't be lame nothing about people with hook hands, it's over done or floating disembodies heads or pirates. That being said there are even a few ghost films that still give me a good scare… "Kill Katie Malone" is not one of them…
"Kill Katie Malone" has 2 really strong things going for it in the beginning, it has an original idea: Buy a ghost on an "e-bay" like web site; compounded with one of the main characters believing in ghost -great one less person in the story line that needs to be convinced. Working against the film is everything else in the movie. I accept that a large bulk of horror is clichéd, if you love horror from the depths of your heart you have to accept this fact. Mind you I say "accept" I didn't say "like." You also have to accept that movies get made for the Sci Fi (sorry Syfy) Channel.
I think I'm amongst the general consensus in stating that Syfy original pictures are some of the worst pieces of ass product ever made. That being said, I don't know what the distribution "Kill Katie Malone" has found yet, but the Syfy channel will be knocking down their door as soon as they have gotten a screener.
The story starts out original…ish but the characters have about as much depth as Paris Hilton's intellect. Am I being too hard on this film, well maybe, I'm not its audience, the film constantly plays like it's rated PG 13 and yet is oddly rated "R". I like unrated sex and gore, I enjoy camp, and I enjoy realism but there is a place between the two poles of camp and realistic where you kind of wind up with "soap opera." This feels more like an after school special about why you don't buy ghosts off of the internet at college than anything else. That might be due to the casting: Masiela Lusha -the teen daughter from, "George Lopez," Stephen Colletti teen start of "One Tree Hill," Jonathan McDaniel on the made for tweens and teens TV show "That's so Raven*." Notice the over usage of the word "teen?" Dean Cain shows up for a few scenes, oh yeah, and to keep it "real" they do have Nick Hogan who is out of prison so I guess that gives this production street cred…
I do have to say I don't think ill of Nick and his dad got a raw deal as of late but that is way off the subject. In watching this film I just keep trying to figure out who they made it for and I just keep coming back to 13 year olds. I don't know the average age of the read of HorrorNew.Net, so if you're 13 and you've never seen a horror film… I still wouldn't recommend this one.
Every time something bloody is about to happen the movie just cuts away and I mean like in "we not going to show you anything!" There could have been a great scene of a girl getting her arm loped off at the elbow joint with a paper cutter but NO! Or for that matter a Shakespeare teach having her tongue yanked out. In the 1950's they weren't this bad about cutting away like that. And back then they had to cut away because of the Haze code. IF you want to know what happens when you don't cut away and "run with it" see the career of Herschel Gordon Lewis.
Sometimes I get a feeling about a production; everybody knows horror is one of the safer generas to make an investment in. And that's good it gives us blood for money, but sometimes people think they can dupe horror fans and make a fast buck on us. Horror fans on whole ARE NOT stupid and we do see through these simple reuses… Sometimes…
Also the fact that this film is set in a college dorm and is is PG-13 safe –no nudity, drinking, sex, drug use, general hooliganism behavior, blows my mind, I get this is clichĂ© that we have to accept BUT I'm sorry I've gone to more than one college and just in the usage of language alone on every day basis was an "R" rating not to mention everything else I was doing.
I don't like writing bad/nasty reviews of the films it makes me unhappy, I'd like to give you the reader something good to go out and watch. Not just tell you "hey, avoid this" but unfortunately with this film lacking the fun of camp or the brutality of stark realism and that being the film isn't bad enough to be laughed at or good enough to be enjoyed, I don't know what else to say -well, other then Sy-fy channel here we come.
*First time I heard the title of this show I assumed it was about a misanthropic teen goth girl and it didn't make sense as to why it was on the Disney channel.

(Updates with comment on capital levels in the fourth paragraph.)
June 10 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. economy is growing unevenly and regulators should avoid setting new capital standards so high that they stifle lending, according to the head of Wells Fargo & Co.
"This has been a very difficult downturn," said John G. Stumpf, chief executive officer of Wells Fargo, during a speech today in San Francisco, where the company is based. "The economy is recovering, it is true," he said, "but growth is very uneven."
Regulators are deciding whether to impose higher capital cushions on the biggest lenders to avert a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis. Bankers including Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co., have said regulators risk slowing the recovery if they rein in banks too tightly.
"There are some who would suggest more capital is better," Stumpf said during the 25th Annual Conference of 100 Black Men of America Inc. That's not necessarily the case, he said, urging "the right amount of capital" to allow room for lending. Wells Fargo is the biggest U.S. home lender and the fourth-largest bank by assets.
"We want to be in a position to make lots of loans, to help small businesses grow," Stumpf said.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair defended higher capital buffers for the biggest banks yesterday and said U.S. regulators must guard against pressure to be less vigilant in overseeing the financial industry as the nation recovers from the credit crisis.

Research Interests:
Pedro is interested in Malaria, one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. There are approximately 300-500 million cases of malaria, which result in around 1 million deaths a year. The nutritional status of the patient has long been suspected to play a major role in disease outcome in malaria, but the effects of specific nutrient deficiencies remain controversial and poorly characterized. Using an experimental model of severe malaria our team aim to define host nutritional and genetic factors modulating disease outcome. In his free time, Pedro enjoys sports and social work.

Research Interests:
My major research interests lie in cellular and organismal hormetic responses stimulated by dietary intervention. Low levels of stress originating from reduced caloric intake, alterations in amino acid composition and short-term fasting have been previously shown to elicit resistance to larger stresses induced by ischemia, radiation as well as cancer chemotherapeutics. What are not completely understood are the signals, activation cascades and transcription factors needed to elicit the hormetic response. In my research, I study the roles Sirt3 and Nrf2 play in the dietary preconditioning stimulated hormetic response against ischemic reperfusion and ionizing radiation. An ultimate goal would be the development of a dietary regiment that would offer protection to patients and their organs as they undergo chemo- and radio-therapies as well as surgeries where blood flow is restricted for a prolonged period of time.

Research Interests:
I am interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying dietary preconditioning against acute surgical stress in mice, using an ischemia reperfusion model. More specifically, I am working on the role of mTORC1 pathway in sensing dietary nutrients, and the downstream effectors that provide protection from acute stress.

I used a little less oil and it still worked well. Baby spinach with some thin sliced red onion was delicious. Quick and simple. Husband also enjoyed it.
This is excellent - I've made it many times. I sometimes increase the olive oil to 1/2 cup if the shallot taste is too strong. This dressing is also spectacular on bibb lettuce or with spinach.
Finally, a salad dressing with a kick! My French friend loved it. Just 3 forks though, I think just a little less shallots & it would be perfect.

The Sharp Aquos Crystal is very close to being an Android nerd's dream device. It has virtually no bezel (except on the bottom) and comes with a stock version of Android 4.4.2. It looks unlike anything else on the market in the US today, and many Sprint customers will no doubt be happy to pick one up from the carrier starting today at $239.99 off-contract. People who prefer to walk out without putting any money down can get the phone for $10 a month.
Perhaps you noticed that AT&T started selling the low-cost HTC Desire 610 late last month for just $0.99 on-contract and $200 without. That was apparently only the first step in HTC's attempted conquest on the mid-range device market in the US. The 610 is now on sale direct from HTC and the Desire 816 is launching on August 12th (tomorrow) on Virgin Mobile and direct from HTC.
Sprint's Virgin Mobile pre-paid brand is announcing a new plan option today called Virgin Mobile Custom. Can you guess what the hook is from the name? Yes, it's a cell phone plan that you can customize. The plans come with a basic level of service, then you choose what extras to add. The catch is that you'll only be able to get these plans at Walmart stores.
The Galaxy S5 is a pricey phone, the cost of which the big four American carriers typically offset by pushing consumers towards two-year contracts. They generally also offer the choice to pay for the entire phone upfront, but people who want to own the phone outright and have the several hundred necessary to do so stand to benefit from shopping around for the lowest price, and lowest commitment, option available. Today both Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile have added their names to the list of providers willing to sell a Galaxy S5, doing so for $599.99 with no contract.
Do you like the idea of water and ingress protection on the Galaxy S5, but don't feel like ponying up for a flagship phone? Then Kyocera hopes you'll consider its Hydro Vibe smartphone, at least if you're a potential Sprint or Virgin Mobile customer. The "ruggedized" Android phone will be launching on Sprint on May 9th and Virgin on May 27th. Sprint is talking up its "Easy Pay" payment plan, where the phone costs ten bucks a month for two years, but Virgin will sell it outright for $149.99.
Ever since the shutdown of Nextel, Sprint has been preparing to make use of the newly vacated spectrum for its tri-band LTE known as Spark. The carrier has announced today that Spark is launching in six more markets, bringing to total to 11. Virgin Mobile broadband customers can also get a taste of the speed starting today.
Competition is really heating up in the low cost, off-contract smartphone market these days. Motorola's Moto G, revealed just last week, is the meteor that could potentially change the landscape here in the US when it strikes early next year, offering specs that far exceed anything we've been conditioned to expect for $179. But that's the future. As for now, Americans looking for an affordable but capable off-contract handset can now pick up the HTC Desire (or, more specifically, the HTC Desire 601) from Virgin Mobile for $279.
Virgin Mobile has added the ZTE Supreme to its lineup of Android smartphones, a 4G LTE smartphone that will cost $299 with one of the carrier's no-contract plans starting at $35 a month. The device is priced to compete with the likes of the Nexus 4 (before its price drop) and comes equipped with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, a 1280 x 720 5-inch display, a 13MP rear-facing camera, and a 2,500mAh removable battery.
The LG Optimus F3 is available today for $179.99 off-contract with Virgin Mobile. The phone comes with Android 4.1.2, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, and a commendable 2,460mAh battery. The 4G LTE-capable handset will reportedly last long enough to sustain a sixteen hour conversation, though such battery life might require more work on your end when throwing out the dead battery excuse to avoid people.
The LG Optimus F3 has a 4-inch screen shielded with Gorilla Glass 2, a 5MP camera in the back, and your typical inferior camera on the front.
Look, I know what you're thinking. You need Samsung to release another Galaxy product, because there's nothing yet in their device lineup that appeals to your particular set of needs. I get it. Sure, there are other brands by other manufacturers out there, but nothing feels quite so comfortable in the palm as yet another Galaxy device. So here it is, the Samsung Galaxy Ring for Virgin Mobile, a 3G-only budget-friendly handset with Android 4.1 and halfway decent specs.

FEMA and Krugman are drinking the same Kool-Aid
Submitted by bytejockey on Wed, 08/01/2012 - 11:02. Permalink
Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman repeated his assertion this week that the United States could benefit economically if the government began pouring money into anti-ET defense in preparation for a possible alien invasion of Earth.
Even a faked war of the worlds scare might help, he suggested.

Bow Tie-Down System for Boat Trailers
- Rated capacity 1,500 lbs. per strap
- Length: 43''
- Width: 2''
- Polyester webbing
Bow Tie-Down System for Boat Trailers 11 11
Quality product Purchased product to stop the bow from bouncing on country roads and it does what it is supposed to do. Quite well as a matter of fact. Pricey but effective. EZ to operate (even for my wife)! August 21, 2014
5 minute install-Best Purchase I have had the tie downs on the rear of the boat trailer now for 8 years and absolutely love them. When I broke to buckle on the bow tie down, I decided to install the ratchet in the front for the bow as well. 5 Minutes and I was done. Two points in the rear of trailer and one at the bow, I never have to worry about straps. Saves so much time at the ramp. September 4, 2013
Works great Originally bought these for a different boat but they bolted up perfectly to my Karavan trailer for my 2012 Bayliner 185 BR. It took me about 10 minutes or less to install them. Besides easy installation I like them because they are a lot easier to use than the standard "cam" style straps. My wife can get the boat cinched down tight enough for highway travel by herself without busting knuckles or, heaven forbid, breaking a fingernail. May 21, 2013
Easy to Install Had these as original equipment on my Skeeter. Did not unlatch one, one day and weight of boat kind of worked it over. Bought a new one and was really pleased with how easily it installed and corrected my dumb mistake. These are very reliable transom tie-downs and if I did not have them, I would get them and install them. April 29, 2013

A rise in Brazil's equity markets could force pension funds
nearing their portfolio limits to dump stocks, the chief
investment officer of Latin America's largest pension fund has
"If the stock market in Brazil skyrockets, we're probably going
to have a problem, we're going to face limits very soon," said
Renê Sanda CIO of Previ, which holds retirement savings
worth over $80 billion equivalent.
Previ's Plano 1 has almost 60% allocated to equities, bringing
it close to the 70% equity allocation limit set by Brazil's
pension regulator, Sanda said.
"Maybe we will have to ask for a waiver or try to sell some
investments," he said.
Sanda's comments underscore difficulties faced by pension funds
across Latin America as they attempt to find strong but stable
returns for their rapidly growing assets against the backdrop
of a shifting regulatory landscape.
