Remember Foursquare, the location-sharing app created in 2009 by Dennis Crowley and Naveen Selvadurai that put mobile geo-locating via "check-ins" on the map?
After losing ground to social networks like Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and even Facebook, with users migrating from stand-alone services to social platforms that contained geo-location features within themselves, Foursquare lost its patina and saw its user-base declining.
But a data licensing partnership and a $15 million "commercial and technical" investment from Microsoft may be the infusion Foursquare needs to regain market share as it works to integrate its recommendations into Microsoft's local and search product.
Foursquare has collected data on 45 million users, 5 billion check-ins, 40 million "tips" or recommendations and a bank of 1 million registered local merchants—all low-hanging fruit to charge customers for relevant alerts, coupons or premier listings, as well as personalized search results and better ad-targeting for Microsoft's Bing search engine.Continue reading...

The average American household will spend $44 on candy for Halloween this year, a total aggregated spend of more than $2 billion. And the top chocolate brands—Snickers, M&M's, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups—won't be the only brands to benefit.
This year brings the usual bonanza of contests and antics from a broad swath of brands eager to show their playful—and spooky—sides.

let's make a deal
Posted by Mark J. Miller on October 7, 2013 05:12 PM
Daily-deal sites have gone through various growing pains in recent years, with several efforts being shuttered. One of those was Microsoft's Bing Deals, but now the effort is getting new life under a new program, Bing Offers, which consolidates offers from such sites as GroupOn and LivingSocial. The initiative is currently being tested in Seattle.
According to TechCrunch, Microsoft has launched "a limited test of a new Bing Offers feature" that allows users to "link their credit cards to their Microsoft accounts." Users will be able to swipe their linked credit cards to utilize a deal that they've pre-purchased online, eliminating the need to keep track of QR codes, emails and other forms of coupons. The capability comes through CardLinx, which counts Bank of America, Discover, Facebook and LivingSocial as clients. With a goal to "reduce consumer and merchant friction for payment-enabled offers and ads," the technology behind the program is one being similarly utilized in efforts by Facebook and Amazon.
While Microsoft is currently only offering link-ups between businesses like Pizza Hut and Bucca di Beppo, it plans to take the initiative nationwide soon.

Following a recent facelift that included a revamped logo and improved search results, Microsoft's Bing search engine has now announced that it will incorporate Pinterest pin boards into its image search results.
The engine's results already included social media data, but now when a user does an image search, related pin boards from the social site will populate on the right side of the screen. The added function gives the search engine a bit of a human touch, as all other image search results on Bing (and Google, Yahoo, etc.) are populated by an algorithm.Continue reading...

brands under fire
Posted by Sheila Shayon on September 17, 2013 07:07 PM
It's pretty clear that Microsoft has more problems than just selling the products and software it makes. After posting—and pulling—seven amateur ads knocking Apple's design process, the company has drawn more negative attention to itself than its intended target.
Following the debut of Apple's latest iPhones last week, the company posted a series of short videos dubbed, "A fly on the wall in Cupertino," which featured several bumbling actors posing as Apple designers pitching the gold iPhone 5S and the plastic 5C to two people, arguably Tim Cook and Apple design chief Jony Ive. "You asked us to create the gold standard in iPhones," one actor says, "And it turns out... that is super hard."
The videos were quickly criticized for bad acting, low-budget production values, and worst of all, not being funny. Following the backlash, Microsoft pulled the videos, and a spokesperson told CNET that they were "intended to be a lighthearted poke at our friends from Cupertino," but "it was off the mark, and we've decided to pull it down."Continue reading...

Following a recent trend of web facelifts, Microsoft's Bing search engine has debuted a new logo and site redesign as it looks to continue its fight to overtake Google search.
The move follows logo updates by Yahoo, YouTube and (maybe) even Google itself, but Bing's transformation goes a lot farther than simply going from a round to flat design.
According to a blog post by Lawrence Ripsher, General Manager of User Experiences at Bing, changes have been considered for some time as the way people search has changed in recent years. "We 'search' on maps using our fingers, ask our devices questions using our voice, use our social networks to figure out what's happening, and even use our phone's 'eyes' to navigate foreign cities," he wrote. "Search has never been asked to do so many things in so many different ways across so many devices."Continue reading...

Fox News is breaking broadcast TV's fourth wall with Bing Pulse, an on-screen tabulation tool that lets viewers identify their political affiliation, gender, and "agree" or "disagree" with the show's talking topics in real-time.
Since July, Special Report with Bret Baier has experimented with the social tool that appears on-screen as a virtual poll, but afte successfully engaging viewers, the tool will now be used three times per week, including its addition to the newly-launched show MediaBuzz, anchored by Howard Kurtz.
"The next generation of viewer is going to expect more," said Baier told Variety. "They are just going to want to have more ability to let their feelings be known and have some interaction and see some payoff."Continue reading...

Great article on "The Genius of the Inca" in the current National Geographic!
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
Cool! I went and checked their website, and for those who don't subscribe to the magazine, here's a link to the article online:
There's also related material, such as an interactive map, articles about Machu Picchu, and a photo gallery.
That is a wonderful article! Thanks all!!
I just found this post and I will be arriving in Peru on July 19 as well. This will be a solo trip that has been on my list for a long time. The hiking package is a 8 day 7 night hiking trip from Cusco to Machu Picchu through SAS Travel. I am so looking forward to this trip.
We booked ourselves a Peru vacation the schedule prior, I believe. Going in July 5! Very very excited here!
Our family is also on the July 5 trip. I am starting to get excited.
Happy to see a few other July 5 families here. It's just my husband and I - and we cannot wait - three months away!!!
See you all soon.
You will love this trip! My 10 yr old daughter and I were on this trip with Adena's family---in fact, the "pool time" that Adena mentions is the first time my daughter met her children, and they all became inseparable for the rest of the trip.
I would highly recommend going to Lima a day early. Our flight from Miami was delayed and we did not reach the hotel in Lima until 2 am. Thank goodness the next morning we had a free day to relax and explore in Lima rather than having to jump on another plane to Cuzco. On our free day before the ABD tour began, my daughter and I actually walked from the hotel to the Huaca Pucillana archaeological site (referenced by Adena above); the walk took you through the Inca market and some residential areas which were interesting. I thought the ruins at Huaca Pucillana were very much worth seeing, and a good introduction to some of the ruins and eras explored later in the trip. And lunch was in a nice outdoor area, as explained by Adena, which offered a sampling of Peuvian fare with something for everyone's taste.
Regarding medication: I took the altitude medicine, but my 10 yr old daughter did not---she took only an occasional advil for a headache.
I exchanged for some Peruvian currency from Bank of America before our trip---you don't need much, but I always like to have some for taxi rides, the stray market souvenir, etc. I, too, ran out of funds at the end for the guides' tips and had to scramble a little at ATMs, so keep that in mind when changing (and keeping!) money.
We had Ernesto and Rae (a previous guide on the ABD Costa Rico and Alaska tours) as our guides last summer in Peru. Ernesto lives in Cuzco, and also handles tours for A&K, so I'll bet he is still doing some of the ABD Peru tours this summer. We had Rae in Alaska, so we were delighted to see her again last summer in Peru. I'm not sure where she is this summer.....
Both Rae and Ernesto are great!
I had Rae in Alaska year before last, also. She *is* great!
We had an incredible small group in 2009 - Alejhandro was the local guide - she was a constant bundle of enthusiasm and energy. We also had Michael from ABD - also very good (not to be confused the beloved bald Mike who I think has been on every ABD trip) and another fellow as a guide in training.
Alejhandro was absolutely incredible with the kids - and was their best friend from day one forward. There was nothing she would do, or get the kids to do, I so hope she is still available. At the final dinner, she also went to the market and bought each of the kids a very nice present based upon what they had each talked about throughout the trip.
You will so love this trip.

Foxtail Fern Questions
I recently purchased a foxtail fern at a local nursery. When I brought it home I took it out of the plastic pot it was in and put it in a ceramic pot with a hole in the bottom to keep indoors. I thought I could break up the root ball but decided against it since the roots were very well packed. I've been watering it once every few days but the water mostly just runs out the bottom of the pot. It gets sunlight from the windows it's near only in early morning, after about noon there's no direct sunlight in the windows.
When I received it I pruned off the dead growth and continued to water it when it felt dry. My issue is that I keep noticing more of the growths are turning yellow and dying. It's not real fast but it seems like the internal growths keep dying on me. I don't know if I'm not watering it enough, if it has too much/little sunlight, or if the pot isn't big enough. I would repot it in new soil but I don't know how to break up the root ball because it is extremely tightly packed.
Any help someone may be able to provide is greatly appreciated.
Hello Matt,
Congrats, on your new Foxtail Fern.
FF's dislike heat. Fronds will brown if air is hot.
Some humidity is required.
Direct sun, 'especially if your plant was in shade at the store,' will burn fronds.
Although I don't believe in over-potting most plants, FF should have plenty of space, especially if the medium dries fast.
If you're watering daily, either the room is too warm, or your FF needs a larger pot.
Did you notice the amount of space between root-ball and 'new' inner container?
Haven't had one of these plants myself, but it sounds like there may be a solid ball of hydrophobic peat as the rootball. If so, it's much easier to remove after a soak in a bucket of water so it can accept water again. It make take 30-60 minutes to soak to the inside if it's really hard/solid. Usually the peat will crumble away easily at that point. But sometimes it won't, in which case I might decide it's easier on me and the plant to first cut off the bottom third to half of the root ball. Then remove as much excess peat from the top as possible. Cut a slit from top to bottom on each side of the remaining mass. Repot with some room on the sides as well as putting a little new soil to replace that taken from the top. This should give the plant a good shot at growing some new roots, and help keep the inner ball from drying so fast in the process. When you repot next time, you should be able to remove most of the remaining peat without tearing so many roots.
The ones I see in pots in this area are always in shade but a little morning sun might be preferable in PA, IDK...
I think you need to break up that root ball. Any plant that has a tight root ball will die because the water will run out of the pot around the root ball and it basically doesn't get any water.
I don't think I can agree that they don't like heat. They are used outdoors here in full sun for landscaping plants, and Houston is very hot for several months of the year.
Foxtail 'Ferns' are not ferns but are related to Asparagus. Here they're called Asparagus Ferns, and there's a lot of different varieties. They grow from small tubers, if broken off these can sprout and form new plants. That's why they've become serious weeds in some places and very difficult to get rid of. Digging them out usually results in numerous new small plants. And they're very tough, drought resistant, sun resistant, and almost extermination resistant.
Soaking the root ball and then washing all the old soil out won't hurt the plant. Depending on your climate be careful about how you dispose of any broken off bits.

In the modern world, most people have seen free adult porn. There are many communities and sections in the society that have a strong opinion about adult material. Most of these opinions are negative. These people argue that free hardcore porn can disrupt social order, and encourage people to commit sexual assault, rape and other crimes. These people also believe that even when porno does not trigger a crime, it contributes to the abuse of women.
In recent years, there have been many studies regarding the relationship between pornography and crimes against women. The results have been eye opening and astounding. The people who participated in these studies changed their views about pornography after they witnessed the results.
After the studies, researchers have started arguing that porn is just an expression of a person's fantasy. It just inhibits sexual activity, and even acts as a positive displacement of aggression. Adult films offer a readily available medium of satisfying a person's sexual arousal, which serves as a good and safe substitute for harmful, illegal and dangerous activities.
Some feminists said, free XXX porn is also a perfect way to empower women. It loosens them from the unjust and unnecessary shackles of social restrictions and prudery. With such changed opinions about this topic, people have started wondering if XXX content for free is ok for us or not.
Over the years, here have been some studies regarding the effects of free online porn on the human mind. Many researchers have investigated the basic link between sex crimes, attitudes toward women and pornography. It's worth mentioning that erotic videos are considered legal in the United States under the First Amendment, unless judged obscene.
In every investigation, researchers have found some interesting. Most researchers suggest a decrease in the number of sex crimes when porno is made readily available. Since free porn has become widespread, it's not very difficult to find a study population.
When it comes to numbers, the United States of America alone produces more than 10,000 erotic movies each year. According to industry experts, Adult videos, DVD sales and rentals have become a huge industry, and generate around $4 billion each year. The internet has also become a good source for such content. More than 40 million adults visit erotic porn on a regular basis. More than 25% of regular users download free adult movies at work.
Contrary to popular belief, it's not just men who are interested in free HD porn. Around 10 million women in the USA accessed sex websites on the Internet in September, 2003. According to other industry experts interested in the subject, the adult industry makes more money than some of the major online corporations combined, including Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Google.
It's important to understand that no correlation has been established between negative attitudes toward female and exposure to sexy videos. In order to determine the effects of pornographic material on the society, researchers often expose people to adult material. They measure any variable changes in the viewers' attitude or predict hypothetical behaviors.
Researchers also interviewed numerous sex offenders, and discussed their experiences with such material. This was done to examine whether XXX films were a reason for sex abuse or negative changes in the behaviors and attitudes of these people.
Surprisingly, there haven't been many studies that found a strong relationship between sexy videos and antisocial behaviors. Even those that established a relation just focused on far fetched assumptions and hypothesis.
According to studies involving men who had seen free live porn, these men were more tolerant in accepting women than the ones who hadn't seen free sex videos. Studies even found that there was no relationships between porn and any kind of misogynist attitudes.
Until now, there haven't been any researchers that could find the opposite. Most of them have been positive and some of them even show that adult videos become a good medium to release sexual frustration and anxiety. It does not lead to any negative attitudes or antisocial behavior. It's high time some groups and communities get over this idea, and let people use their freedom and free time as per their choices.
These days, you can easily find Hug Fuck free adult porn online. Some websites may charge you for the service, while others allow you to watch your favorite videos for free.

Team Grades: Kansas City Sacks San Diego's Playoff Hopes
On Sunday in Kansas City the Chargers were simply outplayed by a Chiefs team that was also playing for its playoff life. With their 19-7 win and season sweep of the Bolts, Kansas City eliminated the Chargers and claimed second place in the AFC West outright. That is probably little relief, however, as the Chiefs will also be in for a long off-season.

Researchers Spray-Paint Batteries Onto Almost Any Surface 92

That's great and everything. But what kind of capacitance can they get out of these?
As little as possible, one hopes, though I've never heard of parasitic capacitance [wikipedia.org] as a major consideration in battery design. But when they get down to spray painting them on surfaces, who knows? Certainly the designers of any non-trivial circuit that is sprayed onto a surface will have to deal with this phenomenon.
Good day to avoid cops. Crawl to work.

serious protection
By Coco Girl
from Takoma Park, MD
I ride very often, several times a week, in all kinds of weather. Some of it is commuting, and I worry about crashes being potentially serious. I like this jacket for the protection. It does fit under the jacket I have w/ the protection removed from that one. However, though I used the sizing chart studiously, it is extremely tight, and hard to get on and off. I get that you need it tight to keep things in place, but I really enjoy breathing. I'm a size 6-8, closer to 6, I ordered a medium, which should be 8-10 per the sizing chart. I wish I had ordered a large.

You have a point MattHollingsworth. So my next question would be what would be the closest hop (substitute) for Crystal hops?
Well it is not for a hoppy beer it is for this recipe here. I am planning on brewing allot of this to last me the summer and I am just trying to stock up in preparation for the batches.
I guess I will just order from Chicompany.com and get the 1/2 lb of crystal, that should give me at lease 8 batches.
Ummnnn, that recipe calls for only a single 60 minute hop addition (1/2 willamette, 1/2 crystal). No offense to BM, but you can use just about any mild flavored hop with the same effect. At 60 minutes, you're only getting the bitterness, all of the flavor and aroma has boiled off by the end. Don't beat yourself up trying to find crystal pellets, because it won't matter in the end. My advice is to just use willamette and make sure you adjust the amount to give the right amount of IBU's.
+1 what rnrchemnerd said. For a 60 minute addition you don't need to agonize at all. You won't be getting much if any hop flavor from that addition.

I'm asking purely hypothetically I am not actually selling beer or in a position to start up a brewery myself, at least not any time in the near future.
What legal or rights issues would there be for a brewery using public domain imagery in their labels? (For example, old paintings from the 1800's where the artist is long dead.) Is there a fee / no fee / required permissions / annoying paperwork? I don't know of any breweries that have really gone this route, so maybe it's not legally possible at all.
Guessing someone out there will probably know. Thanks!
I would say that most commercial breweries commission artists/graphic designers/marketing firms to create their labels and branding. They'd probably be the ones to ask since I have no clue lol. Good luck finding out though!
Public domain means the images are unregulated. That said, don't assume that something is public domain just because it is old. There are no shortage of exceptions to the standard copyright expiration rules.
"Be excellent to each other." -Benjamin Franklin
If an image is truly in the public domain, it can be used in any manner you wish. However, as said previously do not assume an image is in the pubic domain just because it's old or the artist is deceased. Copyright does survive the original artists death.
Also, you would be surprised how many large companies "steal" images on a regular basis; not because they are too cheap to buy a license but because they happen to be employing someone (typically a younger employee) who thinks nothing of it.
Oh and just because someone says it's ok to use an image doesn't meant it is. Get a release, always get a release.
As a photographer, this is always one of those issues that never seems to die.
As a side note, if you happened to use a copyrighted image and that image was in fact registered, you could liable for statutory damages of 200.00 to 150,000 per use.....
Even 200 per bottle can make that beer very expensive.
My point exactly, kids today actually believe that it's ok to use your image, they think they are helping get you exposure, to which I respond exposure doesn't put food on my table.
Great info from everyone, thanks. I guess I'll continue using old paintings for the aesthetic, which I love, and likely have a fun legal scavenger hunt if I ever do miraculously get to use them to sell my own beer.
Or maybe I'll be able to convince my artist girlfriend to finally make some art for me...

Completed quilt from 2006 swap
Finally finished my quilt from a 2006 sampler swap on this forum. We exchanged 12 blocks. I made two more blocks and the center star. I quilted it in 5 sections and then put them together. Each star is quilted differently. I used this quilt to try out all the stitches in my machine. I pieced the center star and then appliqued it to the background.
I'm keeping this quilt for *me*. Thanks to all of you wonderful quilters for making these blocks.
Here is a link that might be useful: Pattern from Quilter's Cache
Thank you all for your lovely comments. This was a very well-organized swap. We took a vote on several things and one of things we agreed upon was to use the same background fabric - it was a Moda marble. I bought some extra and used it for the center star. I learned a lot from the discussions leading to this swap. It was coordinated by Judy (juttz). Thanks, Judy.
You did a nice job and the idea of using the same Moda background contributed to its success I am sure as did your choice of using the green and gold plus the center star to tie it all together. It makes for a "keeper" for sure. Great work and TFS. Jayne

1. Re: Actual differenceKarthick_Arp Sep 27, 2013 3:04 AM (in response to Shuumail)
Associative Array (Or call it Indexed collection) are sparse. You can do this
type tbl is table of varchar2(10) index by pls_integer;
var tbl;
var(100) := 'karthick';
var(200) := 'oracle';
Such a thing is not possible in nested PL/SQL collection type. If you use Nested collection type you need to use .extend and create 200 elements in your collection to store that 2 values. Basically when ever you want to bulk collect a result from SELECT you can use Nested PL/SQL collection and for manual assignment you can use Associative Array.
2. Re: Actual differenceShuumail Sep 27, 2013 10:08 AM (in response to Karthick_Arp)
Thanks for the reply. You mean to say nested table is sequential and associative array is not sequential but in which scenario we need to specify associative collection. I think we can use nested with the combination of forall and then insert it into target name but I don't know when we usually use associative collection....
any other thoughts?. Any good example for collection?

Support For Cutting-Edge Health Research Will Create Jobs, Attract
TORONTO, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ - The Ontario government is providing $150 million through the Next Generation Jobs Fund to encourage research-based pharmaceutical companies to invest in Ontario, Minister of Research and Innovation John Wilkinson has announced.
"Attracting these investments will create good-paying jobs that support
the discovery of new medical treatments for diseases that affect us all,"
said Wilkinson. "Supporting this research will strengthen Ontario's economy
and create a higher quality of life for Ontario families."
The biopharmaceutical industry:
- Employs over 9,000 Ontarians in high-value jobs, such as researchers
and scientists
- Invested more than $550-million in Ontario in 2006 to enable the
discovery of life-saving therapies, such as antibiotics, new vaccines
and more effective cancer treatments
- Makes up thirty-one of Canada's top 100 corporate R&D investors.
The $150 million will create jobs in the biopharmaceutical research community by enabling companies to apply for grants, loans, forgivable interest loans and funds for building infrastructure, research and training.
"Our government's $150 million investment is focused on increasing the amount of health research and advanced manufacturing activity that is happening right here in Ontario," said Minister of Economic Development and Trade Sandra Pupatello. "The significant investments that biopharmaceutical companies make in health research are essential to the growth and success of our emerging biotechnology industry, and other sectors that are important to Ontario's economy."
The $1.15-billion Next Generation Jobs Fund supports job creation in
areas where Ontario has a strong competitive advantage and is designed to
build and strengthen industry, create jobs and make

Intel DC S3500 480GB Enterprise SSD Review - Test System and Methodology
Test System and Methodology
We utilize a new approach to HDD and SSD storage testing for our Enterprise Test Bench, designed specifically to target long-term performance with a high level of granularity.
Many testing methods record peak and average measurements during the test period. These average values give a basic understanding of performance, but fall short in providing the clearest view possible of I/O QoS (Quality of Service).
'Average' results do little to indicate the performance variability experienced during actual deployment. The degree of variability is especially pertinent, as many applications can hang or lag as they wait for I/O requests to complete. This testing methodology illustrates performance variability, and includes average measurements, during the measurement window.
While under load, all storage solutions deliver variable levels of performance. While this fluctuation is normal, the degree of variability is what separates enterprise storage solutions from typical client-side hardware. Providing ongoing measurements from our workloads with one-second reporting intervals illustrates product differentiation in relation to I/O QOS. Scatter charts give readers a basic understanding of I/O latency distribution without directly observing numerous graphs.
Consistent latency is the goal of every storage solution, and measurements such as Maximum Latency only illuminate the single longest I/O received during testing. This can be misleading, as a single 'outlying I/O' can skew the view of an otherwise superb solution. Standard Deviation measurements consider latency distribution, but do not always effectively illustrate I/O distribution with enough granularity to provide a clear picture of system performance. We use histograms to illuminate the latency of every single I/O issued during our test runs.
Our testing regimen follows SNIA principles to ensure consistent, repeatable testing. We attain steady state through a process that brings the device within a performance level that does not range more than 20% during the measurement window. Forcing the device to perform a read-write-modify procedure for new I/O triggers all garbage collection and housekeeping algorithms, highlighting the real performance of the solution.
We measure power consumption during precondition runs. This provides measurements in time-based fashion, with results every second, to illuminate the behavior of power consumption in steady state conditions. Power consumption can cost more over the life of the device than the initial acquisition price of the hardware itself. This significantly affects the TCO of the storage solution. We also present IOPS-to-Watts measurements to highlight the efficiency of the storage solution.
Our test pool features SSDs of varying capacity and it is important to bear this in mind when viewing results. We placed the Intel DC S3500 into the value category due to its current price point of $1.22 per GB (this is subject to market fluctuation). All SSDs in this category retail from $1.00 to $1.50 per GB. The first page of results will provide the 'key' to understanding and interpreting our new test methodology.

The recent US law pertaining to Conflict Minerals is the latest example of ever expanding and evolving government regulations related to the use of product materials and their origin within the supply chain. Learn more about this new regulation.
The United States Dodd-Frank Act, Section 1502, is landmark legislation that requires manufacturing companies to understand and disclose the use of minerals mined in or around the war-torn region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Companies listed on the U.S. stock market have until May 31 each year to disclose whether any Conflict Minerals are found in their products. And companies not directly regulated by the SEC will be impacted too as audit requirements are pushed down through the entire supply chain including privately-held and international companies.

Attroney Korbell, as fa I am concerned was on top of everything. Very responsive and always returned my emails and phone calls. If she didn't have an answer to my question, she got back to me as soon as she obtained it. She handled my child support and child custody case, She is an Excellent Attorney.
Lawyer was not knowledgeable and often gave conflicting information. I was frequently confused and misguided. Realized attorney was also making agreements on my behalf without my knowledge or consent and caused a detrimental failure in my case. Plenty of attorneys here in Allegheny County- please consider someone else!
