Proof of concept a hit with advertising and media industries
Capablue, specialist in TV Everywhere solutions, has been working with Channel 4 to create a proof of concept that explores the potential of future advertising formats. The interactive advertising application uses the second screen to provide the broadcaster with a more sophisticated and less intrusive way of showing ads and interacting with viewers.
Having developed the proof of concept in close collaboration with Channel 4, Capablue used its cloud-based Connected framework to build a plug in solution that uses audio watermarking to synchronise with linear broadcast. This ensures the two devices are synchronised no matter when the programme is viewed, taking into account +1 channels, time shift, PVRs, etc. Capablue also created and developed the user experience and design elements for the entire project to extend the Channel 4 corporate and channel brands to tablets and smart phones.
"Second screens are set to play a huge part in the future of broadcast advertising because they can be used to create a deeper engagement between content and viewers," said Capablue CEO Tom Cape. "We have been working very closely with Channel 4 to create a proof of concept that does just that. It encourages the viewer to interact with a brand by delivering a much more sophisticated advertising experience that pushes content straight to the consumer in a non-intrusive way. It's exciting to see such a future-thinking project like this come together and to play such a big part in it. This is truly a 'first' for second screen innovation."
The proof of concept was showcased to 400 advertising and media executives at the Channel 4 Upfronts in London last week. Each was given an iPad to witness the live demonstration. They all played along to a micro game, which was part of an ad that popped up on their screens. The in game scores were fed to a live leader board.
"It's important for us as a broadcaster today to think about how we engage with our viewers across all screens. In the connected world we need to create the best TV experiences for them no matter where they are. By doing this it also enables our advertisers to engage with those viewers in a more targeted and interactive way. Capablue understand this and has created a proof of concept that works for us, our advertisers and most importantly our viewers. It's clear from the positive response to the demo at the Upfronts last week that this kind of solution is what the advertising and media industries are after," said Carl Read, Digital Leader at Channel 4.
How the app works:
- The viewer is watching Channel 4 on linear TV whilst also having a second screen 'companion app' open. For example, a Made in Chelsea app for a tablet or smartphone.
- When the channel goes to a commercial break there is a non-intrusive overlay that appears on the app as a result of a corresponding advert.
- The user can choose to engage and interact with this overlay which will then launch to full screen.
- Within the ads on the app the user can register for a discount, play along with games, buy directly, share with social media networks, reserve an item , book a test drive, etc.
- Once the engagement is complete the user remains within the original second screen application.
Following the success of the live demonstration at the Channel 4 Upfronts, Capablue is continuing to work with the broadcaster to look at how this could become part of its future advertising offer.

Looks like we're not the only ones who have to hide our tattoos from our parents! British crooner Ed Sheeran also has to hide his new tattoos from his mother! Ed recently got two intricate pieces, one featuring work by the artist Matisse and another depicting a phoenix and King Arthur. The Belfast Telegraph reported that, "The King Arthur piece upset his mother apparently, as Ed vowed not to get any more tattoos on his hand. Recently he hasn't been sharing his skin art as much." As reported in the Telegraph, a source told British newspaper The Sun that, "Ed's keeping his new tattoos under wraps and hasn't really been showing them off as they're quite dramatic."
Whoops. You think he can still go on tour if his mother grounds him? If she's anything like my mom… We'll probably have to get a refund for those tickets.

When we obsess about weight issues or become drained by a relationship or crave a cigarette, we give our demons strength, because we aren't really paying attention to the demon. When we understand how to feed the demon's real need with fearless generosity, the energy tied up in our demon will tend to dissolve and become an ally.

What Your Demons Really NeedDaily Dharma for March 26, 2015
Precious Human Birth
Too much suffering is not good. If you become always manipulated by it, if suffering is always the boss, that is not good. And if you have too little suffering, you will not be inspired to pursue real happiness. That is why we speak of 'precious human birth.' Because being born in the human body provides just the right amount of suffering that we need in order to transform suffering into a source of wisdom and knowledge.Daily Dharma for March 27, 2015

The Value of Loving Ourselves
When we practice, we observe how much peace, happiness, and lightness we already have. We notice whether we are anxious about accidents or misfortunes, and how much anger, irritation, fear, anxiety, or worry are already in us. As we become aware of the feelings in us, our self-understanding will deepen. We will see how our fears and lack of peace contribute to our unhappiness, and we will see the value of loving ourselves and cultivating a heart of compassion.Daily Dharma for March 30, 2015

Tantric Art: Maps of EnlightenmentThe tradition of Himalayan tantric art evolved over more than a thousand years into a form notable for its iconographic complexity and stunning beauty. In December, Tricycle visited New York City's Rubin Museum of Art, home of one of the West's richest collections of Himalayan art. In this interview RMA curator Jeff Watt pulls back the curtain on this potent Buddhist art form.What role can art play in conveying the Buddhist teachings? Buddhists are always talking about tools to use on the path to liberation. Often we are accused of living in our heads, of being too abstract. Buddhist art—and more specifically, tantric art—gives us the opportunity to come down to earth and look at how Buddhism represents itself visually. How is the Buddha represented? How are his teachings and followers represented? More »

The Power of SolitudeWhen I mention my own experience of going into isolated retreat for ten days, most of my friends get a little suspicious. They think of another Ted who spent time in a cabin alone: Ted Kaczynski, the so-called Unabomber. Why do people often have such a negative impression of isolated retreat? We are a very extroverted society. Even though within the Western tradition the practice of seclusion and retreat are very much a part of our own spiritual culture—the contemplative practices of Roman Catholicism, for example—most people are not aware that they are part of our heritage.

The First PreceptTo refrain from killing is the first Buddhist precept. The Theravada tradition of Southeast Asia interprets this precept in terms that parallel a Western sense of morality: there is a clear-cut distinction between killing and not killing in which the existence of a breathing, moving being either comes to its end—or doesn't. In this view, there is a killer, a separate entity that is killed, and the activity of killing. Compassion is expressed by not harming others, and many followers honor this precept by choosing a vegetarian diet. More »

Welcome to the Real WorldIn the wake of the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks, in many quarters there is a subtle undercurrent of satisfaction, even glee, that the U.S. is finally experiencing a small glimmer of what life is like outside its privileged bubble. We have come to take for granted a level of prosperity, security, and personal freedom unheard of in most parts of the world. While we are obsessing about ups and downs of the stock market, the price of gas, or the hassles of HMOs, countless others are worrying about surviving ethnic violence and genocidal warlords, falling ill with no chance of treatment, or finding enough food to eat and clean water to drink. Can you blame people for feeling it's about time we joined the real world? More »

Now they have their own game and IP, Dragon's Dogma. It seems that they're pretty happy with their product. They're releasing a lot DLCs (Not Disc-Locket Contents) and they're developing Dragon's Dogma 2 at the moment.
Why would DMC3-4 director and team want to go back to work on DMC games after they got their own IP and it's selling much better than any DMC game?
On the other hand, Kamiya and P* can't touch DMC anymore after the DMC1, because of their relationship with Capcom.
I hate to break it for you, It seems that DmC will be the last Devil May Cry game, No more DMC games and no more DmC games for sure.

His lore talks about him eating a lot.
"The enchanting colors and aromas of Runeterra intoxicated Kog'Maw, and he explored the fruits of the strange world the only way he knew how: by devouring them."
"Kog'Maw consumed every nomad and any obstacles they put in his way, amounting to many times his own mass and volume."
"When his wake of catastrophe reached the Institute of War, an enthusiastic Malzahar greeted him with an enticing prospect: taste the best Runeterra could offer...on the Fields of Justice."
"taste the best Runeterra could offer...on the Fields of Justice."
So, if he joined the League to eat things, why do NONE of his moves involve eating? Why, if he understands everything through eating does he not eat AT ALL. In fact, he does the opposite! He vomits things up! His lore and his mechanics do not agree.
Would be neat to see him have to devour minions to power his attacks.
Junior Member
Personally, I always imagined what he is doing is spitting on things to soften them up to make them easier to eat. Sort of like how flies eat.

I wonder that too. The only one with eating is chogath. But hey, Im not complaining.

He's probably just horking up all the stuff he ate 'cause he's full =)

Oscars: Idina Menzel Belts Out 'Frozen' Showstopper 'Let It Go' (Video)
Broadway veteran Idina Menzel warmed up the Oscars stage with her standout performance of Frozen's Academy Award-nominated song, "Let It Go."
PHOTOS: Top 10 Movie Songs of All Time
Keeping on message with the icy theme of animated feature Academy Award winner Frozen, Menzel -- in a blush-toned dress, contrasting with her black gown from the red carpet -- worked the bare stage against glistening floor-to-ceiling jewels. Moments later, "Let It Go" collected the best original song Oscar.
In his introduction, John Travolta called Menzel "wickedly talented," a reference to her memorable turn as Elphaba in the Broadway musical Wicked. However, Travolta flubbed Menzel's name, calling her what sounded like Adele Naseem instead. Host Ellen DeGeneres, afterwards, called the performance "absolutely beautiful."
On the red carpet, a calm Menzel admitted that she was trying to "go with the flow" when asked about her performance on the main telecast. She performed the ballad to a standing ovation Feb. 9 at the Vibrato in Bel Air, Calif., during a cabaret show to celebrate the film, where Frozen voice co-stars Kristen Bell and Josh Gad also performed.
PHOTOS: Disney's 'Frozen' and 19 Other Wintry Movies
The three other nominated songs were "Happy" from Despicable Me 2, "Ordinary Love" from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and "The Moon Song" from Her.
Just days before the Oscars, the Academy held its first concert honoring the best original score and song nominees, where nominee "Let It Go" also was spotlighted.
The 3D-animated tentpole is the 18th film to hit $1 billion worldwide at the box office, joining seven other Disney titles to reach the landmark, including The Avengers, Iron Man 3, two of the Pirates of the Caribbean installments, Alice in Wonderland and Toy Story 3. Frozen is the top-grossing original animated film of all time.

NBC hack Brian Williams to Mitt Romney – are you going to pick an 'incredibly boring white guy' for VP (Video)
Anyone ever ask why Obama picked such an incredible stupid white guy like Joe Biden? Or why Obama never picked an 'incredibly boring black guy' for Vice President? Think the pink slime media would crow RACIST!?! Of course they would. But when you have NBC hack Brian Williams who actually bowed to his King Obama back in 2009 asking Mitt Romney if he's going to pick an 'incredibly boring white guy' for his Vice President, it's considered "journalism." The good thing here is that Romney actually owned Williams for his asinine question in a very classy, even way. When Williams asked his stupid question, Romney replied: "You told me you were not available." Excellent Mitt!
Watch Mitt slap down Brian Williams for his disgusting question:

I've been ill since last Sunday, the 20th of January. Thinking it could be the winter bug, Norovirus, I haven't been to my doctors. I've had diarrhoea since, and vomited on the Tuesday morning but not since. I'm not entirely sure it is the winter bug, but am being cautious in case. I thought everything was okay come wednesday morning since I felt a lot better, but stupidly had a bowl of cereal with milk and that didn't settle well. I was okay with some twinges all the way until friday where it just returned to what it felt like on the Monday. I can hardly walk without it hurting, the only time this has happened to me was when I had bladder infection. My appetite is so low I can hardly stomach a few bites. My mum says if I am not better by Sunday, she wants me to get a doctor's appointment on Monday..
Does anyone know if it could just be the winter bug and when it is most likely to die down? Or if it is something else?

Think of the phrase "Roses are red". Chances are trite declarations and gestures of love will immediately come to mind. Carrie Green's short story collection Roses are Red, however, is as far from a romantic trifle as you can get. These three stories explore the darker side of mankind, with selfishness and deception among Green's main themes. The lineup of Red is as follows: -A Long Distance Relationship.

Portrait of a John Deere tractor
Hans Droog lives in the scenic Hermann area, the so-called Wine Country of rural Missouri, where he paints large, highly detailed works in oil of farm life, wildlife and farm animals. These amazingly realistic depictions have led to commissions by serious collectors and notable companies including Anheuser-Busch, Ralston Purina, John Deere and the St. Louis Zoological Gardens. Specifically, for Anheuser-Busch, Droog designed a top-selling Christmas Holiday Stein and the popular National Park Wildlife Stein series, among others. The St. Louis Zoo has chosen Droog on four consecutive occasions to design the artwork for Zoofari, its major biannual fund raising and society event. Ralston Purina commissioned him to paint the...

ABC News' Sheila Marikar reports:
After a week on the road with her "One Nation Tour," Sarah Palin still seems ambivalent about jumping into the 2012 presidential race.
"Not only do I love my freedom of not having a title and being a declared candidate — that is liberating — I know you can make a difference as an individual," she said on Sean Hannity's Fox News show Friday night. "Hopefully, I can inspire others to know that you don't need a title. You don't need to be in office to effect positive change."
Yet, she said, she's still interested in running.
"It has been great being with my family on the trail, so the fire in the belly, it rages on after this week and continuing through the summer," Palin said. She's expected to visit Iowa and South Carolina as the summer goes on, and she confirmed earlier this week that her "One Nation Tour" will go west.
She suggested that the Republican establishment has reason to fear the tea party.
"If they're not careful in the GOP, there will be a third party rise-up," she said. "That is what the GOP should be fearing today."
Palin also took back comments she recently made about Republican contender Mitt Romney's challenges. (On Thursday in Boston — the day Romney declared his candidacy in New Hampshire — she told reporters that getting the support of tea party activists "will be a challenge for him.")
"Isn't that funny what reporters try to do?," Palin told Hannity. "It's not a slow news day when Mitt Romney declares his candidacy. I'm surprised they would take one comment that I made and act like it was a slow news day and try to make it into something bigger than it was."
Of course, after making those comments, Palin went up to New Hampshire and attended a clambake 15 miles away from where Romney made his announcement.

Government Operations:
Firms Reported to Have Commercial Activity in the Iranian Energy Sector and U.S. Government Contracts
GAO-10-639R: Published: May 4, 2010. Publicly Released: May 12, 2010.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-8979
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
On March 23, 2010, we issued a report entitled Firms Reported in Open Sources as Having Commercial Activity in Iran's Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Sectors. Based on open sources, we identified 41 foreign firms as having commercial activity in these vital sectors of Iran's economy from 2005 to 2009. As you requested, this report identifies which of the 41 firms in our March 2010 report had contracts with the United States government from fiscal years 2005 to 2009. Our March 2010 report and this report are intended to support congressional consideration of U.S. sanctions against Iran, including proposed legislation to expand the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA).
From fiscal years 2005 through 2009, the U.S. government obligated almost $880 million in contracts to seven of the 41 firms identified in our March 2010 report. U.S. agencies obligated almost 90 percent of these funds for purchases of fuel and petroleum products overseas. According to FPDS-NG, the Department of Defense (DOD) obligated funds to (1) Repsol of Spain for the purchase of fuel for naval and aviation purposes; (2) Total of France for the purchase of fuel, including jet fuel, gasoline, and diesel; (3) Daelim Industrial Co. of South Korea for the construction of family housing at a U.S. Army base in South Korea; (4) ENI of Italy for the purchase of petroleum products; (5) PTT Exploration and Production of Thailand for the purchase of jet fuel and other petroleum products; (6) Hyundai Heavy Industries of South Korea for the purchase of power transformers; and (7) GS Engineering and Construction of South Korea (then known as LG Engineering and Construction) for the construction of office buildings in South Korea.

Australian state seeking damages
Updated: January 15, 2013, 11:02 AM ETAssociated Press
ADELAIDE, Australia -- The government of South Australia state said Tuesday it will seek damages or compensation from Lance Armstrong after his reported confession to Oprah Winfrey that he doped during his career.

Use of health services in people with multiple sclerosis with and without depressive symptoms: a two-year prospective study
1 Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Karolinska Institutet, Huddinge, Sweden
2 Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
3 Department of Physical Therapy, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
4 Division of neurology R54, Karolinska University Hospital, Huddinge, Stockholm S-141 86, Sweden
BMC Health Services Research 2013, 13:365 doi:10.1186/1472-6963-13-365Published: 28 September 2013
To organize tailored healthcare for people with multiple sclerosis (MS), knowledge about patterns in the use of healthcare among subgroups, such as those with depressive symptoms, is essential. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore and compare the use of health services in people with MS and depressive symptoms, and without depressive symptoms over a period of 30 months.
Data on the use of health services by 71 people with MS and depressive symptoms, and 102 with no depressive symptoms were collected from a computerised register and by interview, then categorized with regard to disease severity (Expanded Disability Status Scale).
People with EDSS mild and depressive symptoms used more outpatient and inpatient care compared to those with no depressive symptoms. Furthermore, they received more unsalaried informal care as well as intense rehabilitation periods.
The issues underlying the differences in the use of healthcare need to be explored further, as well as the plausible implications for the organization of healthcare services for people with MS and depressive symptoms. Furthermore, the life situations of caregivers of people with MS and depressive symptoms should be considered, and appropriate interventions supplied in order to diminish caregiver burden.

Trade fits for Alex Smith
Five teams -- plus a wild-card -- that could pursue Niners' QB this offseason
In the spirit of International Myth-Shattering Week here in sports, let's look at another myth which might have flown just a tad below the intrigue threshold of some other storylines. Since Oprah was double-booked, consider it a public service.
Myth: The 49ers and head coach Jim Harbaugh made the move to start Colin Kaepernick over Alex Smith purely based on the merits of performance. They knew Kaepernick was the future and could do things Smith wasn't capable of, and they made a gutsy move because, as I wrote at the time, Harbaugh had earned the right to go with his gut.
Reality: A lot of it was about money.
The move to start Kaepernick now looks like a typical master-stroke from Harbaugh, but at the time, it was a perfect situation of a personnel move dictated by a trio of factors:
1. Smith was coming off a concussion, so it was easy to justify as a move sensitive to a hot-button medical debate in the NFL.
2. The 49ers at the time were 6-2-1, and had a little first-place cushion to test-drive CK for a week.
3. If the 49ers could learn whether CK was truly the starter-of-the-future, it could save them a bunch of cash. As I also noted at the time, if Smith was on the Niners' roster in 2013, he'd be there at a cap hit of $10 million.
For 2013 and 2014 combined, Kaepernick represents a cap hit of a $2.8 million. The reality is the 49ers didn't just start Kaepernick for what we now know is the potential to be the latest team with a frightening dual-threat QB. It was also because if he was even 80 cents on the dollar of the performance they could have gotten from Smith, they'd still be a really good football team with the knowledge that their young starter would almost surely get better, and also one more flexible to help itself elsewhere. Now, they have a great young starter who represents a two-year cost of what Mark Sanchez will make in about four weeks next season.
It also means Smith could be cut, but more likely, will be pushed in a trade. And it's actually a good time to trade him.

So I needed this
Left my old potting bench on the west coast when we moved. Had some stuff lying around so decided to make a new one. Finished it today so thought I'd share with all you lucky people here!!!
Also worked on the glass house some more. The potting bench is sitting next to it just off the slate patio we also put in when we had some visitors to help. Of course I had to bribe the guys with heavy equipment. I think they only got the
skidsteer stuck 5 times:) Now I have to regrade some areas once they dry out.
Thanks everyone for the compliments! The last one I made was out of parts from an old fence we took down. I loved the old weathered look of it. I'll just have to wait for this to age LOL. I also have some old barn doors that I want to incorporate on another outdoor work table. Anyone have pics to inspire me on that one?
Barn doors? Ohhh, that sounds nice!
I really like this one that you built, too...it will age...& looks good & sturdy & hopefully will get some "dirt stains" soon! Nice job! TFS! Jeanne S.
Kirk made a potting bench w/some type of doors...& it's gorgeous...I'll try to find it & post again.
Here's the post of Kirk's potting bench (old doors).
Here is a link that might be useful: Kirk's potting bench
Great sturdy large bench! I'd probably use it to hold pots of flowers. lol I imagine that weighs a lot!
Sunnyca: yes it's heavy. I moved it to it's permanent location when I just had the frame done. Knew that after I put on the lower shelf and top that it would be too heavy to move. The patio is about 10 x 12 and just sort of a free form layout using some free slate I got on craigslist.
jeanne: Love Kirk's bench, especially the fret work on it. That's along the lines of what I want to do with the doors. I also remember someone made an arbor out of doors, so I'm torn between those 2 ideas.
luna: I plan to fill the bottom shelf with colorful pots as a display too.
Thanks again for all the nice remarks!

Okay, I'm not a huge fan of "Christmas music" generally, but when I do listen to it I particularly enjoy the classics, such as Tchaikovsky's The Nutcraker Suite—and especially fingerstyle virtuoso Tim Sparks' amazing solo guitar (more accurately, a "Chema" Requinto made by Enrique Enriquez) version recorded in 1992.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of that landmark recording, Sparks has reissued the disc on Tonewood Records.
Preview tracks here:
And here's a video of Sparks performing "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" live.
Happy Holidays!

Sneaker News 2014 Year in Review: Top 10 Reebok Releases by Sneaker News 4 Comments
Great colorway and I like the nappy suede and speckled midsole. Probably won't cop, but I like them a lot.
December 18, 2012 BY Aaron Hope / 1
For a good while a second fiddle to Dee Brown's Pump Omni Lite, Michael Chang's legendary Reebok tennis trainers show they're equally adept at handling lifestyle-friendly casual makeups. In fact, this new 'Grizzly' Reebok Court Victory Pump stands out as one of its best recent showings, a rustic clay suede upper accented by ticked hiking laces, the speckled midsoles commonly associated with trail shoes and the warmth of rich red accents. Let us know how these compare to the other offroad RBK classics we've seen in recent years and grab these today at retailers like Social Status.

Car bomb kills 16 in Nigeria
Nigeria's UN headquarters have come under attack.
Nigeria's UN headquarters have come under attack.
by Eleanor Margolis Published
An apparent suicide car bombing has hit the UN building in Nigeria's capital, Abuja.
The explosion destroyed the lower floors of the building and left at least 16 people dead. Dozens of others have been injured.
Although no one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, an anonymous UN official in Nigeria told the BBC that the UN increased security at the building after receiving a tip-off last month that it could fall under attack by West African Islamist group Boko Haram.
Boko Haram, a group calling for the implementation of Sharia law in Nigeria, was blamed for a car bombing at police headquarters earlier this year. Nigerian government officials have blamed "terrorists" for today's attack.
The area around the building has been sealed off by police, and an operation is underway to clear up the heap of rubble, making sure no one is trapped.
Nigerian Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Viola Onwuliri has called the bombing, which took place at about 11am local time, "An attack on the world".
About 400 people are said to work in the building, but it's uncertain how many were there at the time of the attack.
A Unicef worker at the building , Michael Ofilaje, said that he saw "scattered bodies" and overwhelmed local hospitals are calling for blood donations.

Love Dolls: Safer Sex, Better Fun
A love doll is a sex toy that replaces a sexual partner during masturbation. But nowadays, it has become more than just a sex toy. Ones with a realistic figure with a perfect body and even a sexy, lustful face is most sought after. They could cost from hundreds to thousands, with the costlier ones being more human-like.
Max Weissbrodt of the Hausser/Elastolin company manufactured the first ever love doll in 1955. It was a 11.5-inch tall plastic doll that resembles today's Barbie dolls named Bild Lilli. These Bild Lilli dolls were marketed to men who visited the red-light districts of Germany. A high end, expensive doll may have an entire body with face and accessories that vibrate for better sexual stimulation. A cheaper one is inflatable and has just the pelvic part. These dolls are usually manufactured made using materials like welded vinyl or heavy latex or silicone. The more expensive ones even have realistic face, skin, a PVC or metal skeleton with flexible joints and are scented.
Most recent developments in the area of love dolls are:
1.Development of a very elastic gel that has better elasticity, shape memory, and durability.
2.Addition of a pelvic thruster motor for better stimulation
3.Audio capability using wireless headphones for more excitement.
These dolls have made their mark in the field of business by opening up new entrepreneurial developments too. There are agents who rent rooms and sex dolls to customers who approach them. A rental business that delivers such dolls to the customers' home also relishes customers.
Love dolls with the face of a porn star or a celebrity imprinted on them are the craze today. Some dolls may even have forms of animals or aliens which are not only used for sexual pleasure but also as gag gifts.
The main factors that have cause drastic increase in the United States market for such dolls are:
1.Availability of improved choices
2.Easier advertising through the internet web sites
3.Better retail outlets that give a wide variety of options to choose from
4.Helps in curtailing Sexually Transmitted Disease.
Researchers have warned that the frequent usage of sex toys like love doll that produces vibration or small electrical impulses could decrease the desire for normal sex. Also the uncontrollability of the function can cause injury and damage to the sexual organs and fertility.

As more applications and services move "to the cloud" (public or on-premise) cloud environments are increasingly adopting and building out traditional enterprise features. This in turn is enabling and encouraging cloud adoption from enterprise users. In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities.
In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.
