The "typewriter method" isn't the only way to remove corn on the cob. Try this technique to use fresh kernels in recipes. Line a tray with a towel to collect the corn that falls (and protect the blade of the knife). Remove husk, but leave stem intact. Cut off the tip of the cob to create a flat end. With a chef's knife, slice the corn as you rotate the cob.

It's much safer to do this by cutting the cob in half. Then put the cut side down for a more stable base for cutting.

I think I know what happened here. The Baweja's spent so much money on
the Australian locales and special effects / animation on the 2050 part
that they ran out of money and employed themselves as the story /
screenplay writers and also forgot to employ an editor. The result is a
movie reeking with inane, hammy dialogue, a story crammed with
unnecessary sub-plots and silly twists and turns. And I honestly think
they put every scene they shot, up on the screen. They forgot the
editor or his scissors
He-man type, extreme sport loving Harman falls for a mills & boon type, pink colour loving, Priyanka who writes a diary, scribbles hearts, and names toys 'Winkydinks' and 'Boo'. Harman woo's her by break dancing and doing all the silly things that work only in movies and never in real life. He also immediately transforms from an alpha male character into a mushy, soppy mass of goo, who breaks into tears at the drop of a handkerchief. Enter an uncle, mad scientist type, who has a time machine, some more very silly twists and turns, and we're off for Mumbai 2050.
There are three glaring examples of sub-plots which didn't need to be there at all The two kids : firstly I know of no kids like them, they're irritating, try to be cute, are all senti-mushy-yucky and mouth sentences no self-respecting kids would. Secondly, there's not one reason why they had to exist on-screen. Harman Baweja's Dad again, the whole father-son relationship thing was unnecessary. The story wouldn't have changed one iota, if Harman had simply remarked 'i'm on my own'and we would've saved fifteen minutes of screen time The whole Hoshi angle : an unnecessary caricature of a villain they introduced in the 2050 part of the film.
Come to think of it, they could've just shown Harman and Priyanka to be dating already, spared us the whole courtship thing and gone ahead directly with the 2050 part. So whats good about the film ? The locales in Australia are very nice, well-chosen and for a change its not about Sydney, the opera house and Sydney harbour but something more interesting. Priyanka is all pouty, looks decent, even in red hair. And the futuristic animation / special effects are good. Not great, but good and with a couple of nice touches (the Kantabai hologram and the paan-making robot were interesting thoughts). Harman can dance, look good but is overly made-up (the lip gloss is too prominent) and is very bad at dialogue delivery. His character, during courtship, is also shown doing a couple of things which are very silly (getting up while a roller-coaster is moving and stealing a toy) and kids may take up on that. And eets long, this movie, very painful and very long.
I went more for the 2050 part but unfortunately it's the Love Story part that dominates they don't let go even in the 2050 part and spoil that too. When I first heard the toy name 'winkydinks', my instinct was to get up and run. I didn't obey it and sat through. Big mistake. Big. Huge ! For more reviews, please go to apurvbollywood at blogspot. Thanks

I thought Luke Wilson starrer Idiocracy was the worse sci-fi ever. But
LS 2050 tops Idiocracy in terms of how bad a movie can get. I simply
lack the right words to review this film so I am going to keep it short
(I've already wasted too much time in the theatre cannot afford to
waste anymore.) This is, face it, an exceptionally bad movie. This film
seriously lacks direction and dimension. You feel painfully bored right
from scene 1 and if the first five minutes of a movie does not grip
you, it never will. In fact, I lost my attention right from the first.
Then that lame staircase scene with Dalip Tahil and more cumbersome
scenes Priyanka trying to catch a butterfly in the park. And the
mountain bike race and OMG, I had to check my ticket every once in a
while to make sure I was in the right auditorium wanting to watch a
decent sci-fi flick.
Then once we're convinced that these too couple with absolutely no chemistry are dating the story transports us to this really wacky place supposedly but certainly not Mumbai in 42 years time! Then follows some bizarre sequences that look almost identical to Star Wars (the flying cars or whatever you call them, ) Robots (the city, building design, etc.), I Robot (ha ha, robots assembly line,) The Island (lame XBox fight,) Terminator (skin rip of a robot) a song that's almost identical to Idhar Chala from koi mil gaya, Bridget Jones' Diary (Sana actually starts writing with "Dear diary " ha ha ha) and perhaps many others too that I may have overlooked.
Oh god, I can write a book on the inconsistencies with this film And whatever with the brand endorsements in the year 2050! Hard to believe Lux would use the same label (and same ambassador) for 42 years (especially for a brand that comes up with new media campaign every year) and that line "Ceat Tyres ke 100 saal.." and all that bull**it.
And whoever said Harmann looks like Hritik that is one hell of an incorrect statement. He is no way even close to the Hritik Roshan. Boman Irani is really annoying.
Final verdict 2/10 for some clever CGI, an open air stage floating in the air, Priyanka's costume and that's about it!
Oh god heaven's sake such a piece of crap God save us
Imagine if this is a future really then we better be in 2008 only
But wait!!!!! before going in the future, we must actually spend the first half cringing and yawning at the love story between Harman and Priyanka
And of course Harman's father Harry has directed the film so lot of reels spend in trying to show his various qualities which are bad like slow motion introduction, plus lot more awkward comic scenes
The first half is a bore
The second half is even worse and the villainy track is even worst
There is nothing remotely engaging in this yawn feast
Maybe a few scenes but the impact is not there
Direction by Harry Baweja is mediocre Music is okay
Harman tries to dance, look, talk, walk like Hrithik and looks like a poor clone of Hrithik and his voice sounds like Sonu Nigam and plus he is too awkward Priyanka is awful Boman irritates and overacts the rest are bad too
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Here's the story: Harry Baweja, a mediocre director but doting father,
manages to scrounge enough money to launch his beloved son Harman in a
dream project. They set out to find a damsel to play the female lead
and come across Kareena, who reads the script, is a bit indecisive, but
signs anyway because she doesn't have any other big projects. Suddenly,
Kareena starts getting a lot of film offers that are much more
lucrative, and she decides to walk out on the Bawejas. Enter Priyanka,
a simple, pretty, girl-next-door type looking for love. She's already
tasted success with Krrish (in the sci-fi genre) and thinks she's made
for this. So she signs up. Here starts the love story of Priyanka and
This is their real life story, and if you think this is boring, just watch Love Story 2050.
The director has invested a lot of money into the film, but his investments have gone to waste. Filled with special effects and nice locales, the makers thought they could lay off actual screenwriters and do all the storytelling ideas themselves. Bad move. The story and screenplay, from the very first shot, are the worst thing about the film.. so basically, everything else is a little better, which doesn't really matter, 'cos you've lost your audience's interest.
Our main man, Harman (what was his name in the film??!!??) is a motherless boy living in Australia, with a rich father who gives him no attention. This makes for our first useless sub-plot. Played by Dalip Tahil, our hero's dad has two scenes and his character only adds boring minutes to an already boring start. The 3 token friends our hero has (making a comfy, 90s-style foursome) are nothing but guys who are uglier, skinnier and dumber than him. So they're pretty wasted too. Off the top of my head, that's about 20 minutes which our movie editor ignored.
On a morning jog, our hero comes across a girl who somehow has the magical powers to control cosmic forces in such a way that butterflies land in the palm of her hand. Apparently, it isn't as hard as it sounds because our man does the same thing once she's gone... and a couple of times over through the course of the film. This girl of course, is Sana (Priyanka), a girl who writes a diary, loves cute/mushy toys and has never done a bad deed in her life. We are taken through another 10 minutes of uncut footage regarding a friend of hers, and a bicycle race through rocky terrains.
Anyways, so he chases her around, trying to woo her with his break dance moves and constant, needy bickering. What girl wouldn't fall for that? Our Sana is no different. They hit it off, and we're treated to the regular song and dance sequence along with romantic moments, just to "build up the love story".
We're soon introduced to some more useless characters via the girl's family, namely her parents and her adolescent siblings. The latter provide plenty of irritation through to the end of the movie. An important character that suddenly gets thrown in at this point is Uncle Ya (Boman Irani), who plays the passionately mad scientist, complete with the frizzy white hair, the overgrown mustache and the ceiling-high chalkboard. For the past 15 years, he's been inventing a time machine of sorts and he finally succeeds.
Meanwhile, our lady love Sana dies in a horrific accident, and our hero is sad as hell. Some subliminal messages tell him that she has been reborn in the future, in 2050, and is living in Mumbai, so he must go. And that's just the intermission.
Cut to the future, and we see a city (apparently Mumbai) that looks way beyond 2050. Flying cars, obedient robots, mid-air concerts and interfaced boutiques are the highlight of our city. Impressive effects, though. 2050 is made up of a mix of SFX ideas from The Fifth Element, Minority Report, iRobot and a few more Hollywood flicks.
Thrust into this unlikely future are our hero (still can't remember the character's name!!), Uncle Ya, and Sana's whining siblings. They finally find Sana, who is now Zeisha, the greatest rockstar/popstar/teen-queen in the world. It's now up to our team from 2008 to remind Zeisha of her past. The director decides that the audience has not had their fill of unnecessary characters, so he throws in a pink teddy-bear that talks, a multi-lingual robot that looks like Angelina Jolie with dreadlocks, and a Darth Vader style villain named Hoshi. Hoshi, apparently has a back-story where he used to be Uncle Ya's assistant and he betrayed him, or something useless like that. All in all, it's a happy ending 'cos Zeisha decides to go back to the past and replace Sana, and life goes on.
After THAT story, you'd think this movie would have some saving grace. Well, the music by Anu Malik is way below average. There isn't a single song that leaves a mark. All our actors are quite bad, and doses of overacting by our leads doesn't help. The locations are fresh, but Harman breaks into a jive every time you try to look at them. Idiot words such as Winkydinks and Boo are thrown around shamelessly to name inanimate characters. Harman looks decent, can't act, and grew up watching Hritik Roshan films. Priyanka is too bubbly to handle in the first half, and too fake in the second. Boman Irani does a fair job, but his character seems to change shades sometimes. Archana Puran Singh (as Sana's mother) provides moments of humor. At over 3 hours in length, LS 2050 is a movie that has the potential of being really interesting and new for the Indian audiences, but ends up trying too hard to be a saga of love, and one that doesn't seem to end.
well the movie is a bad copy of a lot of English movies. Major portion
has been ripped off The Time machine.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0268695/ As in the original the Hero looses the Heroine (both of them don't know how to act) hence you know what happens if you have seen the time machine. The Robot in the movie is too similar to the She-robot in Robbin Williams Bicentennial man hence a rip off. I saw "Matrix","The terminator", "Shark boy and Lava girl" and Mila Jokovich's "UltraViolet" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0370032/) fights in the movie. Virtually The director of the movie believes that all the indians are living under and rock and they would not have seen those movies and if it is made for the international audience then I salute the director :D. Its one of the worst movies I have seen.
And yeah the hero though looks like Hritik he only managed to be a bad copy.
This is an overlong, ultra cheesy remake of HG Wells' Time Machine. The
script is mangled almost beyond recognition by the makers. Clearly
intended as a star vehicle for Harmen Baweja, the poor actor is forced
to play second fiddle to leading lady Priyanka Chopra in Mumbai of the
future. He comes across as a weak imitation of Hrithik. The Special
Effects are are anything but special and simply not worth the hype.
There are oddly offensive jibes at the Hindi language, and a ridiculous
villain crops up suddenly out of nowhere. Truly awesomely and
mindbogglingly pathetic. A must-avoid film!
Overall 1/10
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Love Story 2050 centres around two opposites falling in love. On the
one hand there is Karan (Harmen Baweja) who is very energetic and lives
life on the edge. And on the other hand, there is Sana (Priyanka
Chopra) who is a self-assured, yet rule-orientated individual. After an
unlikely accident, Karan's only hope for saving Sana rests in the use
of a time machine.
The story is one of many problems this film has. It's difficult to tell whether it was the complexity of a sci-fi film that got to the script writers, or their own idiocy, but Love Story 2050 does not even attempt to tell a viable story, let alone a love story. For the most part, the futuristic setting of the film, its major draw, does not even come into play until the interval has subsided. The story borrows heavily from various Hollywood films, most notably Time Machine, Back to the Future and Terminator, and there is very little which is unique. It also moves as a fairly slow pace, and the silly attempts at humour always fall short, and does not help the film's pacing. If director Harry Baweja had only tried to make a more serious film, it would have been less frivolous but most importantly, a better film.
But regardless of whether the story is taking place in the present or future, it is entirely predictable and illogical at times. One such example being when Karan is trying to catch-up with Sana, who is in a bus, and Karan comes to a stage where he jumps up onto an above crossing bridge, only to jump off it a second later. What is so vastly comical about all of this is that he is trying desperately to get to the bus, but instead of merely running through the facility he was in, he decided to take a few seconds from running to do some climbing and jumping. The musical segments do not fare any better, and are fairly weak. From terrible dance movements to poor music, except for perhaps Chopra's concert number in the future, the music never helps to aid the film from feeling as if it is being dragged along to its conclusion, which itself is quite bad.
The acting is sadly low-key. While Copra does seem suited for her characters, she is still quite offbeat from the whole affair never bringing any convincing characteristics to her character. However, it is Baweja that truly disappoints. As the lead, his acting is not particularly good and neither was his line delivery. Perhaps this can actually be credited to the poor dialogue and even poorer characters. Where Sana and Zeisha comes across as strong-willed females, they inevitably fall for Karan to the point where their lives need his existence for them to even be able to talk. And Karan is such a pathetic excuse for a man that I was really hoping he'd be killed before the interval, but alas he was not, and his overly sensitive and exaggerated need for love finds its way throughout the entire film: basically, there was no characterization whatsoever. There is no need in discussing the other actors as they are all average at best. In fact, the represented characters are utterly annoying. The teddy robot Boo, was a badly implemented distraction from the film, and Sana's younger siblings, Rahul and Thea, were unnecessary to the overall plot, while Dr. Yatinder (Boman Irani) as far too silly to even be considered as a credible scientist.
The usual sex appeal of a commercial film is present, and remains thus so. Violence is minimal and arguable so terribly choreographed that you really could not call it violence. However the language department did contain a few blasphemous terms, and a surprising number of scatological terms, though it was in moderation.
If there is any positive to the film, it would be in the CG department. While special effects are never great by any means, Mumbai in the future is rendered quite beautifully, but more so during the night than during the day. But even the CG is not fully realized as it comes across as something out of a video game instead of a high-budget film production.
I will admit that Bollywood films are not exactly my cup of tea, but I have enjoyed, to some degree, all of which I have seen, especially loving the recent Sakar Raj. But Love Story 2050 is such a mismatch, that it's impossible to even understand how the film ended up so badly. The acting is not good, though sympathy must be given to both Chopra and Baweja because they didn't have a decent script to work with, and the production design was clearly not well thought through. Love Story 2050 has so much potential to be a worthy attempt at standing toe-to-toe with Hollywood, but doesn't even begin to scratch at this potential. Instead of the futuristic sci-fi flick which was supposed to hit cinemas, what has shown its place is a Bollywood film that will have even Indians embarrassed, and that is saying a lot.
I thought that this movie would be great, as I respect Mr. Baweja, but unfortunately he chose wrong story and director for the film, which completely ruined his reputation of great film producer, this film has nothing to offer; it is an insane remake of Hollywood flick "Time Machine" which was a flop film. Harman Baweja (Hero of this film) has done well job, but it could have been better if he didn't copy Hritik Roshan's acting and dancing style, because Hritik is still alive and well established actor, Harman should be unique and make his own mark by his own style, Priyanka is not hot in Bollywood as she was previously, in the whole film is pathetic, vfx of the film can't save this film to sink because Hollywood is flooding movies with superb vfx but still content in some of them is missing, neither music can help to rescue this film, it is a disgraceful awful movie, police should use this film to torture criminals, other than that it is a great embarrassment, go and spend money on bear but not on this film because after watching this film you would be needing medical attention...
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
When I saw the cover of this movie I thought; "Finally Hritik Roshan
made a new movie!" But it wasn't Hritik who played in this movie, it
was Harman Baweja. It is not a compliment that I thought Harman was
Hritik. Don't get me wrong, I love Hritik a lot, but I don't like
people who try to steal the image of an other actor. Now there are
several things I didn't like about Harman: - He is not a man, he is
just a boy. He acts very stupid. He talks weird, he tries to copy
Hritik too much. - I did not understand why this boy made it in the
Bollywood industry. Then I saw the name of the director; Harry Baweja.
That explained a lot.
I'm glad I bought this movie just for 1 euro 50. This movie is very poor. This was the first time ever I saw that a movie got a bad review on the back side of the DVD cover!
Everything about this movie is crap; - The movie itself looks like "Back to the future", "Time machine" and "The fifth element". Nothing about the special effects and story was original or new. - When Karan meets Sana for the first time, he sees that a fake butterfly lands on Sana's hand. Who believes that! Then the same butterfly lands on Karan's hand. Yeah right. - Karan sees Sana in a bus and he runs after the bus. He jumps onto a bridge, walks over the bridge and then jumps of the bridge. What a moron! He could have walked under the bridge to be faster, but no, that would be too easy. - Sana gets a hand-doll called winkydings. Isn't she a little bit too old for such a childish toy? - Sana dies, bus accident. Karan wants to get his love of his life back. His uncle has a time machine. Yes, Karan does not go back to the future, no, he goes into the future to find Sana. Then you really must be a moron. - Karan goes into the future with his uncle Yatin. This uncle looks like the professor of Back to the future. Fake hair, fake mustache. When they get into the future, this uncle can explain a lot of the future things. That's weird, how does he know? Everything is new for him too! - When Karan sees Zeisha, he thinks she is a reincarnation of Sana. Why would he want to fall in love with the reincarnation of Sana, when he could go back into the past to save his Sana for a bus-accident? No, he lets Sana die and goes for a future look-alike. - The fight scenes were horrible and very fake. There are no emotions on the face of Harman. - In the future there is a scary man with a helmet on his face. No-one knows who he really is. It would have been very great if this man would have been Karan's future him. But no, that was a disappointment.
What a bad movie. What a bad actor (Harman Baweja). I have no respect for someone who copies someone elses image. What a bad actress ( Priyanka). She is a beautiful woman, but that's it. Good as a model, bad as a actress.
Huge expectations and a big launch of a talented star Harman Baweja was
all in the air before the film hit the screen. And the other exciting
feature of the movie was its theme of Time Travel into the future.
These were the thoughts in the mind of every viewer before seeing the
movie. But after watching it the viewer feels dejected with some sad
feelings for the hard working debutant Harman.
No doubt the movie is Grand and well made technically but it lacks gravely on the script level as the viewer never seems to be into the narration at any moment. The excitement of watching a Time Travel movie drops drastically as nothing happens in the first hour and we are just watching a love story of a boy trying to win over a girl.
The other sad part of the movie is that intentionally or unintentionally Harman is quite similar in looks with Hrithik Roshan and that's a drawback for him. He impresses with his dance and acts well but exactly in the same manner of Hrithik. So in future he will have to work out a different identity of his own putting more efforts towards the same. Priyanka looks good and sports him in his debut venture. Boman Irani becomes too excited in some scenes but Archna Puran Singh manages to entertain in her few scenes.
Special Effects are good but the future interpretation is not so impressive with excessive use of robots, flying elements and computrised interiors. Mention of Hypnotism in 2050 is also quite innovative of the script writer. While watching the future you never seem to be excited enough which takes away the spirit of watching a so called science fiction. In fact the 2050 factor has only been used to add a USP to the film and it has not been worked upon well.
Director Harry Baweja had a good idea but the execution lacked in many departments. I wish he had taken more inspiration from the Hollywood movies on similar theme. Musically Anu Malik has surely added new stock to his sound library but has come up with only few melodious tunes.
Inspirations to the movie include "Back To the Future" series & "Time Machine". The sequence of Priyanka dying in an accident is highly inspired. In the English version the hero goes back in the past to change the happenings and tries to save his girlfriend. But each time he goes back she dies in a different manner. That part of the plot is more interesting than going into the future and winning over the girl again. If you surely want to enjoy the Time Machine rides then you must watch the three movie series of "Back To The Future".
In all the movie which is a launch pad for Harman Baweja could have been much better with all the backing of a huge budget. But Harman surely makes his presence felt in the industry.

What does 'attention' mean to you? This unit will help you to examine how we 'pay attention'. How do we manage to single out sounds and images that require attention and how easy is it to distract someone and why?
After studying this unit you should be able to:
- understand different cognitive psychological aproaches used to examine such forms of attention as attention to regions of space, attention to objects and attention for action;
- summarise the different cognitive psychological approaches undera fairly abstract definition of the term;
- know how ideas about attention have changed and diversified over the last fifty years and how well they have stood up to examination.

For many of us the concept of attention may have rather negative connotations. At school we were told to pay attention, making us all too aware that it was not possible to listen to the teacher while at the same time being lost in more interesting thoughts. Neither does it seem possible to listen effectively to two different things at the same time. How many parents with young children would love to be able to do that! One could be excused for feeling that evolution has let us down by failing to enable us to process more than one thing at a time. If that is how you feel, then this unit might add insult to injury, because it will cite evidence that we do in fact process a good deal of the material to which we are not attending. Why, you might ask, do we go to the trouble of analysing incoming information, only to remain ignorant of the results? To attempt an answer it is necessary to consider a range of issues, stretching from registration of information by the sense organs, through the processes of perception, to the nature of awareness and consciousness. Attention is a broad and intriguing topic. That breadth makes it very difficult to offer a simple definition of the term, so I will not attempt to do so until the end of the unit.

I was driving home from work and I was braking for a light the anti lock brakes happened for no reason. I drove a bit further and as I was turning for another light the anti locks happened, the light on the dash went crazy and then the car died. Complete loss of power in mid turn, but my flashers worked. I tried starting it about three times, and nothing. After about five minutes of panic it finally restarted.

Work life balance is good. Executive level keeps employees well informed of changes and future company goals. The company does a great job celebrating holidays and birthdays.Cons
Pay sucks. In addition management does not create a pipeline to resolve issues. Management shows a lot of favoritism due to their inability to execute there own job duties. As a result, many lower level employees find themselves victims to bullying and cliques.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Pay more attention to employee complaints!!!! The company talks a lot about employees being family, maybe they should pay their employees better so they can actually provide for their family at home. Stop spending so much money on celebrations and increase employees pay.Doesn't RecommendNeutral Outlook

Low temperatures open The Sheltering Tree
Date: November 28, 2012
by: Megan Hoye | Staff Writer
(Click "Like" to become a fan of the Palm Coast Observer.)
When the temperature drops below 40 degrees, a sign appears outside the First United Methodist Church of Bunnell: "Shelter open tonight."
People come from as far as Daytona Beach for a warm place to sleep — from the nursing students, still in their uniforms from clinical courses, who stay up all night studying, to the out-of-work contractors.
The Sheltering Tree, a cold-weather homeless shelter, opened Sunday evening when, for the the first time this season, weather forecasts have dipped below 40 degrees.
The shelter meets a need First United Methodist's pastor, Beth Pardner, and one of its members, Carla Traister, saw several years ago after they saw a person sleeping in the church's doorway. That person inspired the pair to open The Sheltering Tree.
"It was very distressing for us to think that someone was sleeping outside the church when they could have been warm inside," Traister said.
She knows what being cold feels like. She went without heat for a time when she was living north of Florida.
"It was very cold," she said. "I just don't ever want to be that uncomfortable again. I can't imagine sleeping outside in that kind of weather, on the ground."
Despite the difficulty, she said, she would never trade the experience. It gave her perspective.
"To me, homelessness is painful to see," she said. "I just don't see why, with as much as we have, it's still a problem."
The shelter is at the United Methodist Church of Bunnell and opens at 5 p.m. and, manned entirely by volunteers, serves dinner to local homeless people. The church also offers bathrooms with towels and soap, toiletries and clothing. Breakfast is also served in the morning.
When it first opened its doors in 2008, The Sheltering Tree hosted three guests. That number soon expanded, and now a typical night sees anywhere from 12 to 36 guests.
Traister hopes to see the shelter evolve into a drop-in shelter that's open regardless of the weather.
Anyone can become homeless, she said, and getting out of that situation is difficult without resources.
"A lot of people are one pay check away from homelessness," Traister said. "It happens to all kinds of people, especially those laid off."
Once a person is homeless and can't do laundry, shower regularly, or even list an address or phone number when applying for jobs, finding employment and becoming financially stable is almost impossible.
The envisioned drop-in center would have laundry facilities and other resources to help the homeless change their circumstances. But until enough funding is available for that, The Sheltering Tree is doing what it can to be a resource.
Although there are shelters for victims of domestic violence and families in Flagler County, The Sheltering Tree is the only place for individuals to seek refuge, Traister said.
So for now, on any but the 10 to 30 nights per year when the shelter is open — the nights when temperatures are cold enough — homeless people retreat to the woods or behind buildings, or wherever they can escape the wind.
Although Traister constantly looks for ways the shelter can help the homeless more, she knows The Sheltering Tree has made an impact. During the shelter's short life, she's watched many homeless residents find employment and permanent housing.
Most of those success stories, as she calls them, either donate money to the shelter or volunteer there.
The Sheltering Tree is at 205 N. Pine St. in Bunnell. To volunteer, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
"(Homelessness) is something we need to fight," Traister said. "It does take time and resources to do so, but it shouldn't be ignored."

Hot off the presses: We've just published our 2014 US and Canadian Bank Digital Sales Benchmark reports, in which we assess the public websites of the five largest retail banks in each country — as well as their mobile sites and downloadable apps for smartphones and tablets. Our benchmark looks at a range of criteria across four categories: discover, explore, buy, and onboard (see image below).

Forrester has just completed our 2014 US credit card secure website benchmark, in which we assessed the features, functionality, and content on the secure websites of the six largest credit card issuers in the US.

It's the latest craze sweeping the nation… No, I'm not talking about Fruit Ninja, I'm talking about gamification.
There's a reason "gamification" is the buzzword on the tip of so many tongues these days. It takes ideas and structures from games - the video kind and other types - to guide companies in their quest to affect consumer behavior. So should digital strategists at banks and financial institutions use gamification to meet their business objectives?
We'll get to that, but for now let's start by clarifying what we're talking about. Forrester defines gamification as:
The insertion of game dynamics and mechanics into non-game activities to drive a desired behavior.
These mechanics come in many shapes & sizes – SCVNGR, a mobile game developer, has a list of more than 40 – but here's a quick list of four major ones:
· Points. The most basic element of gamification, points is any type of virtual currency – or, in a few cases, IRL currency. Digital strategists at banks & credit card companies have used this tool for years in the form of rewards points.

Hotcakes, you've got some competition: the phrase "selling like tablets" might soon enter the global lexicon. And it's not all hype — though there is a fair bit of that as well. Tablet users in the US are estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 51% from 2010 to 2015. That's a fast-growing market for firms of all stripes.
As such, the tablet as a touchpoint is becoming a critical consideration for eBusiness & Channel strategists. This is especially true for executives at banks, as financial transactions benefit from the immediacy of the mobile channel, but users often struggle to make these transactions on smaller smartphone screens.
Enter tablet banking.
Forrester has previously identified best practices for tablet apps in financial services, but only in the past year have leading banks rolled out robust tablet banking efforts. One of the strongest tablet offerings we've seen is from Citibank.
In my new report, I outline the process Citibank went through in building its own tablet banking strategy, developing an iPad app, rolling it out to customers, and continually improving the service. We outline how Citi:

Microsoft Office 365, Dynamics CRM Online goes live in Australia
Microsoft Australia will now be locally hosting Office 365 and Dynamics CRM Online in its Australian datacentres in New South Wales and Victoria.
Microsoft Australia will now be locally hosting Office 365 and Dynamics CRM Online in its Australian datacentres in New South Wales and Victoria.
Microsoft will be rolling out its promised, free subset of mobile-device-management features to Office 365 commercial customers over the next four to six weeks.
Microsoft has bought another productivity company. This time it's LiveLoop, a vendor of collaboration plug-ins and tools for Microsoft Office.
Other cloud giants with FedRAMP status handed down by other U.S. Government departments include Microsoft Office 365 and Amazon Web Services.
Microsoft has inked a number of deals to help Windows 10 make progress in China, particularly on mobile.
Enterprises and developers get a new technical preview for Office 2016 and a test run for Skype for Business.
If you're testing the Windows 10 Technical Preview, Microsoft has a friendly word of advice for you: Fasten your seat belt. And if you're worried about the risk of crashing, consider downgrading to the Slow ring.
Microsoft has released the first public preview of Office 2016 for Mac, its updated Office suite for Mac OS 10.10 users, which is due out this summer.
Today's preview release of new Office apps for the Mac brings much of the familiar Office for Windows interface to Mac users. It's a long-overdue update to the cluttered Office for Mac interface. Here's what you'll find.
Microsoft has struck a deal with Deutsche Telekom that will see the operator sell Lumia and Office 365 to its roughly 90 million mobile subscribers across 12 countries.
Microsoft switched to a monthly update cadence for Intune starting in February, when it added new functionality for managing Office mobile apps on Android devices.
Microsoft continues to plug away at its Sway app, which could highlight the future of Office.
The new mobile suite aims to make voice, video and web collaboration easier.
Microsoft has debuted two new mid-tier handsets with a nod towards business users in the form of a free Office 365 subscription.
Office for Android doesn't yet run on devices with an Intel processor. Here's a list of tablets to avoid if you need to use Office right now.
Expect Microsoft to open up even more of its Office 365 and other cloud service APIs to third-party developers in the coming months. Here's why.
In iOS news this week came a warning about bricking iPhones, pen support hits OneNote for iOS, rumors of a public beta for iOS, and Microsoft Office adds iCloud support.
Starting with Office for iOS, Microsoft is enabling its new Word, Excel and PowerPoint apps to access third-party cloud-storage services, including Apple's iCloud.
Apple is trying to tempt Microsoft Office users into jumping ship.
Microsoft rolls out its first updates for the year to Office Online, its free productivity apps for consumers.

The Health and Social Care Act 2012 requires Hertfordshire County Council and its partners to engage with emerging Clinical Commissioning Groups and transfer public health functions to the county council.
Since 1 April 2013, Hertfordshire County Council has been tasked with coordinating the local NHS, social care, children's services and public health through new Health and Wellbeing Boards. In Hertfordshire, a shadow board began meeting in July 2011 to prepare for its new responsibilities.
Hertfordshire's Health and Wellbeing Strategy 'Healthier people, healthier communities' was launched in February 2013. You can find out more about Health in Herts and watch a brief film about the Health and Wellbeing Strategy.
Did you know cigarettes actually rot your body from the inside?
New research reveals that poisons in tobacco smoke break down the body's main systems, damaging your brain, teeth, eyes, bones and muscles. A powerful new anti-smoking campaign launched by Public Health England, and supported by the borough council and Hertfordshire County Council, highlights this deterioration and degeneration of the body caused by a process similar to rotting. So with two-thirds of smokers saying they want to quit and New Year's resolutions being made, look no further, help is here.
Your local Stop Smoking Service has been developed by experts and ex-smokers, and with their support you are up to four times more likely to quit than if you choose to go it alone. In fact nine out of 10 smokers who have used their local NHS Stop Smoking Service would recommend it.
For free, friendly, specialist advice about quitting, contact Hertfordshire Stop Smoking Service:

If you, or someone you know needs help or support to stay healthy and well at home call Herts Help on 0300 123 4044 and quote 'Home 1.' Or for more information visit Herts Help.
Do Something Different in Herts is a range of programmes designed to improve your health, weight, stress and happiness.
The idea is that rather than thinking or learning about a change in your lifestyle, you follow a series of Do's that will help you to make the change in small manageable steps.
These programmes are free for anyone over the age of 18 who lives in Hertfordshire, but hurry: there are only a limited number of places available.

Ice Hockey
In the last few weeks Tash has turned her hand to bell-ringing, BMX racing and she even joined a brass band. I think it's fair to say, with pretty mixed results so far. But when she said she could ice skate we thought now could be her time to shine. Although, this form of skating isn't exactly elegant or graceful.
NATASHA THIELE, REPORTER: Determination. Speed. Victory.
This is what these guys stand for!
Jake and Alex have been playing ice hockey for more than 5 years.
Ice hockey is a team sport that's been in Australia for more than 100 years.
It has a huge following in countries with freezing temperatures like Canada, where it's the country's favourite sport.
And a couple of years ago, Jake and Alex went over there to train with top hockey players.
JAKE: That was probably the hardest thing, like once we got off the plane and stuff we had to train and that was the first time I've ever travelled overseas.
Australia has its own national ice hockey league with 8 teams.
These guys have been training with the Adelaide Adrenaline, which involves 6am starts.
JAKE: You can never slack off, you can never just take a week off or a couple of days off 'cause you're fitness test will go straight down!
There are five players on each side plus a goalie, which makes six.
At the start of a game, the puck's dropped between two players in what's called a 'face off'.
The players then speed skate around trying to hit a rubber disc called a 'puck' into the opponent's net.
The puck is frozen before a game to stop it from bouncing and sticking to the ice.
It makes the puck pretty hard and it can be hit as-fast-as 160 kays an hour.
While it can be dangerous if you've ever hit with one, there's also the sticks and the sharp blades on the skates to watch out for.
ALEX: You do get the odd slash on the wrists or behind the leg where there's no padding!
JAKE: I got hit and my helmet came up and the stick came down and hit me right here!
With so many things that could hurt you it's important to wear protection.
You need shin pads, protection for your thighs, back, chest and shoulders, as well as elbow guards, headgear and gloves!
All together it's pretty heavy.
REPORTER: So what are the first things I need to know about playing ice hockey?
JAKE: Well puck handling to start off with, you just gotta make sure to keep it, you wanna keep it around the heel of the blade, you don't want to be puck handling like that, it's less controlled. You wanna get down low, so your blade's completely flat on the ice.
ALEX: You wanna have your left hand down the shaft like a 'v'.
JAKE: Make sure you keep your head up, otherwise if you look too far down you're going to end up (REPORTER: Falling over!) face first.
REPORTER: Ok, alright.
So after being taught the basics of how to play ice hockey, I thought I'd challenge them to a game.
Jake and Alex have always wanted to represent their country and they'll get that chance, when they head to Taiwan next month for the Under-18 World Championships!

I love Ice Hockey but there is no clubs around where I live. In NHL I go for Torronto Maple Leafs.
