Going beyond the Sorp

Andrew Hind has some advice for charities in the process of writing their annual reports.
Sorry for interrupting, but there is something we need to tell you...

There are many reasons why we here at PF should not receive a letter adressed 'Dear Sirs'. Many reasons. But, chief among them is the fact that myself, my editor Lucy Harvey and our group editor Tania Mason are, in fact, women. There is not a 'Sir' among us.
Last week I found on my desk an A4 package containing a rather nice-looking annual report and a single page letter addressing me as a man. Clearly, I thought, this package is not for me and the charity in question has no interest whatsoever in me reading it.
Although it could appear otherwise, this rant is not me throwing a last-minute grenade into the long-dead political correctness wars, but rather just frustration at what is a needless alienation of at least half of an organisation's potential supporter base.
Not only is the form of address 'Dear Sirs' extremely old-fashioned and quickly identifies an organisation as out of touch with the developments of the last 50 years, but it indicates that very little effort has been put into the mailing at all.
With direct mail such as this, it is little wonder that direct mail is seeing decreasing response rates across the board. Here at PF we hear often of successful and innovative direct mail campaigns and so it is disappointing to see that there are still organisations out there operating so far behind the times.
I must admit, however, that while I didn't read anything much beyond 'Dear Sirs', the mailing - technically - was effective. Good direct mail should evoke emotion, outrage even. It's just that, in a perfect world, those feelings should not be aimed at the charity trying to solicit your support.

'Dear Sir or Madam' is another clue to an organisation that doesn't much care either.
My wife - or it may have been addressed to me - had a letter from Jaguar cars addressed to Norris Pauling - the other mistake was in thinking we would even be interested if they had got the basics right! These organisations don't alienate half the population - they alienate all of it!

Willis Jackson Hartman III, 25, was charged with use of child in sexual performance. Court documents allege he, "taught, encouraged and authorized" two underage siblings to perform sexual intercourse. The probable cause statement says the victims were 5 and 7 years old in March when the incident allegedly happened.
Police say Hartman was in care and custody of the children at the time. The childrens' mother notified police of the incident after Hartman no longer had contact with the children.
Hartman was arrested Wednesday in the 3500 block of Hillview Drive. He is held on a $50,000 surety bond and is not allowed to have custody with any minor or child and no contact with either victim.

Nuclear plant ends Bechtel contract
Maintenance deal goes to La. group
•San Onofre's two nuclear reactors can generate 2,200 megawatts of electricity when operating at full power, enough to supply 1.4 million households.
•Southern California Edison owns 78 percent of the plant, SDG&E 20 percent and the city of Riverside 2 percent.
NORTH COUNTY The operator of the San Onofre nuclear power plant has terminated its long-standing maintenance contract with an engineering firm a month before it plans to undertake one of the largest construction jobs in the plant's history.
Southern California Edison, owner of the oceanfront plant, is ending its deal with Bechtel Corp. The Louisiana-based Shaw Group will take over the job Monday.
Nuclear power plant maintenance entails knowledge of systems and procedures to ensure that equipment operates safely and dependably, and meets Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations.
Edison will still use San Francisco-based Bechtel, one of the world's largest engineering firms, to replace two massive steam generators at each reactor, which will entail slicing holes in the giant domes.
San Onofre has been trying to improve its safety record, which the NRC and industry watchdogs have criticized.
Ross Ridenoure, San Onofre's chief nuclear officer, said Bechtel wasn't removed because it was doing a poor job, but because he believes the Shaw Group is a better choice.
Edison appointed Ridenoure chief nuclear officer about 18 months ago to improve the plant's safety record, and he has hired a team of new managers to assist him.
The plant has been conducting regular training sessions to stress safety, under terms of an NRC order.
"Given San Onofre is going to be operating differently from what we did in the past, I thought Shaw was a better fit with the overall strategy of how we're performing at the station," Ridenoure said.
"Shaw is the largest maintenance supporter in the country, (servicing) 39 of 65 nuclear power plants," he said. He said San Onofre was the only nuclear power plant that used Bechtel for maintenance.
Bechtel was the major contractor and architect on the plant's two operating reactors, which were licensed to operate in 1982 and '83, and has performed maintenance at the plant since 1994.
A Bechtel spokesman didn't respond to a request for comment.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has cited the plant for a series of safety violations over the past four years, and many of those lapses are blamed on human error.
In March, the NRC gave the plant poor marks for a loose connection on a backup battery that is used to start a backup diesel generator. Last year, it disciplined the plant for deliberately falsifying fire inspection reports from 2001-06.
The plant received a better report in May, when the NRC found seven violations "of very low safety significance." The violations were placed in the "green" category, the lowest of a four-tier rating that progresses to white, yellow and red, the worst possible rating.
San Onofre's battery connection problem was rated white.
Nuclear critics said they didn't have enough information to express their opinion on whether Edison removed Bechtel because of such problems, but they voiced concern about the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station's recent record.

My first school choice has been NCM, but it's been very hard to track down willing/available preceptors. I currently live in GA but may be living in TN within a year. Does anyone have any experience with getting a preceptor with NCM; making trade or financial agreements, etc? I would love to hear how you did it.

Hard Dinghys out there?
My advice is to do the hard dingy. I''ve cruised with inflatables and they aren''t durable enough to withstand poking from fish fins and other fun stuff you do while cruising. Get one with hard chines instead of a peapod (rounded) shaped hull. Hard chines give more initial stability and are better for on/off loading without being too tippy. Get one that has a little stern rocker so it tows well when doing short hops in smooth water. Plumb bows with deep forefoots won''t tow as well as others. I''ve used the molded plastic types and like them for lightness but they aren''t as durable as fiberglass. If you can find anything similar to an old Dyer 10 grab it. If you are looking for a larger boat then throw what I said out the door and find a 12'' aluminum boat from Sears.

Jack Wells Davis; Olympic silver medalist, Training Center founder
Developed communities in San Diego
One of his favorite Olympic stories goes back to the 1952 Games and an old USC shirt worn by his roommates who became gold medalists. After Parry O'Brien wore the shirt under his jersey and won the gold in the shot put, Cyrus Young figured it might bring him luck. He wore the shirt, won the gold in the javelin throw and offered it to Mr. Davis. "By the time the shirt got to me, it was kind of ripe and stretched out with wear. I decided not to wear it, and I only got a silver medal. In the back of my mind, I can't help but think that if I'd worn the shirt, I'd have won the gold," he said in a 1984 Union-Tribune article. Survivors include his wife Carol PC Davis; two daughters Jackie D. Gray of Petoskey, Mich. and Tracy D. Sinnott of Point Loma and a son Trent W. Davis of Park City, Utah; seven grandchildren and two stepgrandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in his memory to the University of Southern California memorial Athletic scholarship fund.

Well, then, here's the record for them. A live recording overseen by producer-keyboardist Jason Miles, Soul Summit has a trio of singers (Maysa, Susan Tedeschi, and Mike Mattison)backed by a bunch of studio pros who've played with everyone from Marvin Gaye to Elvis Presleydoing the familiar "What a Man," the vaguely familiar "Memphis Underground," and the designed-to-sound-familiar "Chicken and Waffles." The question is, Why? Why do a "Shotgun" that lacks the sheer sonic blast of Junior Walker's sax? Why release a "Son of a Preacher Man" that, despite Tedeschi's earnest vocals, doesn't come close to Aretha or Dusty? Why unleash a nearly-12-minute "James Brown Medley" that can't summon the rhythmic propulsion of Poncho Sanchez's covers, much less hold a candle to the Godfather himself? Early on, Miles and company inadvertently posited the perfect question concerning soul karaoke, via the instrumental "Can You Feel It?" I can kinda hear it, yeah, but feel it? No way.

Umag Semi-final Saturday Washed Out
Umag, Croatia
by ATP Staff|
Torrential rain has forced the cancellation of play at the Vegeta Croatia Open on Saturday. Both singles semi-finals and the doubles championship were postponed to Sunday.
ATP Supervisor Gerry Armstrong officially called off play for the day in Umag at 8:41 p.m. local time.
Sunday's play will begin at 10:30 a.m. on both Centre Court and Grandstand court, with defending champion and second seed Tommy Robredo slated to face 2012 titlist and home favourite Marin Cilic. The second semi-final features top seed and 2013 runner-up Fabio Fognini and qualifier Pablo Cuevas.
Cilic is looking to extend his 15-match win streak on Croatian soil when he meets Robredo for the sixth time in their FedEx ATP Head2Head series, while the Spaniard is seeking to reach his 20th ATP World Tour final. Fognini, meanwhile, is competing in his fifth semi-final of the year and will square off with Cuevas for the second time. Cuevas is currently riding an eight-match win streak following a title run on the clay of Bastad two weeks ago.
The doubles final pits fourth seeds Frantisek Cermak and Lukas Rosol against Dusan Lajovic and Franko Skugor. Lajovic and Skugor are looking to become the first Serbian-Croatian duo to win a tour-level doubles title. Cermak is seeking a third Umag crown after triumphing in 2009 (w/Mertinak) and 2002 (w/Knowle).

I'm posting a message here to reassure all those boys and girls that - contrary to what some spoilsports might try to tell you - I'm real enough,and will be there without fail on Christmas Eve. Don't forget to leave a carrot or two for my reindeer, and if you fancy adding a small nip of something warming for me it will help keep out the winter chill.
Best wishes to you all for a Happy Christmas and a peaceful New year.

Hmmm... I'll have to check my naughty book, and if that confirms what you say I'll give you a good report if Santa asks me. I imagine he's inundated at the moment, but we'll see if he picks this up.

Dear Father Christmas,
Seeing as you dart around the skies over Christmas without fail, whatever the weather, could you give a present to Heathrow Airport of some de-icing equipment that actually works, and maybe a pair of wooly gloves & hats for the staff? (I think there are two blokes, and a wheelbarrow). My wife was due home from Milan today, but Heathrow has got a little cool, and they have all gone home and left the airport, so she's stuck out there amongst all those dreadfully boring and unattractive Italian chappies, and she'll be sooo bored and lonely. She could fly to Stockholm (minus 3), Warsaw (minus 8), Prague (minus 8) or Moscow (minus 13), but Heathrow (minus 1) is no go. The BA flights are the only ones that are cancelled (again!) it seems.
Anyway, I'm sure you could use some choice words to get them up to the speed of other International Hub airports. Alternatively, there's a delightful chappie called Boris who might like a whole new aiport, if you could fix it for him...
Yours, a little jaded and alone...

"The BA flights are the only ones that are cancelled (again!) it seems."
That's not the case - other airlines are affected,and it's not a lack of de-icing equipment that has caused the trouble; the problem has been fog.
All airports have problems with fog, but Heathrow is a special case. When fog descends on an airport the airport authorities order an in increase in the separation distance for inbound aircraft. This is to ensure that there's an increased margin of error to allow an aircraft that has touched down to clear the runway before another one comes down.
At most airports there's no problem - landing intervals can be extended without much disruption to service. At Heathrow it's different. The airport is currently operating at 99% of total capacity - an aircraft lands or takes off every 45 seconds. The aircraft separation distance for the approach is normally three miles, but in fog that is automatically increased to six miles. The effect in flight schedules is rapid and dramatic - far fewer inbound aircraft, which means fewer aircraft to turn around, which means fewer take-offs.
What Heathrow does is to try to limit the effect on passengers by deliberately cancelling flights in advance of predicted fog. It does this in order to let airlines contact and notify passengers ahead of the problem, so they can make alternative arrangements, or notify people who might be travelling to meet them.
It's all very annoying,as you've discovered, but it happens in the name of safety. Instrument landings are all very well, but the main danger with fog is when aircraft are on the ground,and moving around the airport. Increased landing intervals give the ground controllers a bit more leeway when monitoring the movements.
None of which makes you feel any less lonely, I'm sure. I've been in the same boat several times, and I know how frustrating it is.

Oh, don't confuse me with the FACTS! Not on this thread, surely! Or should we discuss some other... nope... not going there... (My reference to the BA cancellations was from the Italian end... and all those colder flights that were operative. I'm sure most other Heathrow-based airlines are equally affected).
I remember a thread started by you only a few months back where you, yourself, were questioning the very same thing - why Heathrow is so drastically affected by fog, and we got some very informed answers about the distance between aircraft in fog, runway clearance time, and the like. It's a pretty intractable problem. That's why I thought the jolly old O.P. should sort things out. Double-decker runway overnight, or a shiny BorisPort (which I could probably see from my window at the moment, twinkling away beyond the offshore windfarm).
Me, I fly much less nowadays. The internet and conference calls have pretty much put paid to work-based jollys for now. I'm just worried about my poor, lonely, hungry wife, left in a tatty Milan hotel, with no food, no drink, no company, and nothing to do. I'll just have to defrost a bit of pizza and open a can of beer, with a cat for company. Lucky me!

Mini Fender Flares
Mini makes vehicles that quickly become an important part of your life because they're fun to drive and they all have history. When you own a vehicle like this you want it to look as good as it possibly can for all the people who are going to see you as you drive past, but keeping it clean is only the beginning. To achieve the results that really make a difference you need to install aftermarket accessories, starting with the perfect set of Mini fender flares!
Your fender flares will have an immediate impact on the way the vehicle looks while also protecting your paintwork from the common damage caused by rocks, dirt, mud and other things that can hit the body when you drive over them. When you install any new accessory you need to find the right look for your existing style, and we have a wide variety of fender flares from wide style to street style and everything in between. Even though our products are of the highest quality you don't have to spend a fortune because we have the kind of prices that give you value for every dollar you spend!

One of the things I love most about living in a rural area is the chance to see a variety of wildlife. And this summer has brought many visitors to our yard. For several weeks now, a pair of mourning doves has dropped in during their daily journey. They usually come in the morning, and while they spend some of their time pecking around our bird feeder, they seem to prefer walking about our patio. I'd offer them a chair and a cool drink, but they're terribly shy.
Our resident hummingbirds, on the other hand, have no qualms about asserting themselves. If I don't return their feeder quickly enough after refilling it, I get a scolding that surely means, "Bust a move, lady! We're thirsty!"
Then there's Jane Doe. She's our deer friend who finds our apple and pear trees quite delicious, and that long grass we haven't trimmed in a while makes for a cozy napping spot, thank you very much. She even tolerates our presence just so long as we don't try to get too neighborly.
All of these winged and four-legged guests have prompted me to become better educated about our local fauna, and Patricia Lichen's field guide is a great place to start. From black-capped chickadees to yellow jackets, Lichen offers concise yet fascinating chapters about each species. Did you know that a mole's fur, just like velvet, can be pressed in any direction? This allows for easy forward and backward travel through those tunnels that mar our beautiful lawns. What about those ladybugs that invade my house every spring? Like opossums, they can discourage predators by playing "dead" — rolling on their backs and folding up their legs. And what exactly are "Hollywood frogs"? If you're watching a movie and a scene calls for "background frog noise," more than likely those screen "ribbets" came from Pacific tree frogs. Movie stars right under our windows — who knew?
If you want to know more about the birds and the bees appearing in your yard, consider checking out this entertaining guide. Even those prolific garden slugs, the bane of gardeners everywhere, are fascinating creatures. I have to say, though, that their mating habits might be better described as icky rather than passionate. But I suppose even slugs need love.

Ill Bill
What's Wrong With Bill?
Uncle Howie
If you want to hear him in action, check out Ill Bill's What's Wrong With Bill?, which dropped this month on Bill's label, Uncle Howie Records (which also houses heads-only NY acts like Immortal Technique, Goretex, and Ill Bill's posse gig Non Phixion). It's a great album if you're into that grimy, journeyman's kinda New York hip-hop (that could never be mistaken for that grimy, Elsewhere kinda hip-hop). Ill Bill's raps here are pretty similar to his Non Phixion raps: porn, conspiracy theory, anti-government rants, murder death killusually all in the same bar so as not to bore. His flow, a rough but nimble whiteboy lope a bit like RA the Rugged Man's, is rock solid and totally convincing as he turns his spittled rage on George W. Bush, school shootings, his hard-knock youth, and aliens. His brother Necro (specializing in murder death kill) produced the album. Aside from the opening title track (which sounds exactly like Black Rob's "Whoa") and a few bits of pretty mafioso strings, the beats all have the same steely, unsmiling East Coastclassic feel that has built Necro's realer-than-real rep behind the panels. When he's not producing, Necro is a ferocious entrepreneur who has his own signature porn-flick series, runs his own record label (Psycho+Logical), and interacts megalomaniacally with his hopelessly devoted fans. He types in all caps, and makes sure to end all communications with a friendly reminder to DIE.

As CNA Escalates Union-Busting Raids on SEIU Members...
LOS ANGELES, April 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As the California Nurses Association escalates shameful and recently violent efforts to raid nurse members from SEIU (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2008/04/battle-of-the-n.html), SEIU local union United Healthcare Workers-West (UHW-W) still refuses to join other SEIU local unions in taking action to stop the CNA's union-busting tactics. UHW-W is refusing to act while circulating carefully worded flyers designed to give the impression that UHW-W is distancing itself from CNA.
"Actions speak louder than words when it comes to making a stand against the shameful union-busting of the CNA," said Sue Weinstein, RN, Executive Director of SEIU Local 121RN. "It is time for UHW-W to publicly and unconditionally condemn the CNA and join the rest of SEIU healthcare workers in our effort to put an end once and for all to the CNA's tactics. UHW-W's refusal to participate in our efforts to stop CNA union-busting undermines the efforts of SEIU healthcare workers to build a stronger union."
UHW-W continues to refuse to take concrete actions in solidarity with other SEIU local unions against CNA's union-busting:
-- This week SEIU local unions suspended per capita payments[1] to AFL-CIO Central Labor Councils (CLCs) to protest the raids of AFL-CIO affiliate CNA on SEIU until the AFL-CIO takes action to stop the CNA's shameful actions. UHW-W was the only SEIU local union to refuse to put their money where their mouth is and continues to make payments to the CLCs.
-- UHW-W is refusing to contribute organizers and money to the united effort of other SEIU healthcare local unions to reach out to CNA members and ask them to tell their leadership to stop raiding SEIU and other unions.

The Isle of Wight region
Popular since Victorian times as a holiday resort, the Isle of Wight is known for its outstanding natural beauty and for its world-famous sailing based in Cowes.
The island has a rich history including its own brief status as a nominally independent kingdom in the fifteenth century. It was home to the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, and Queen Victoria built her much loved summer residence and final home Osborne House at East Cowes.
The island's maritime and industrial history encompasses boat building, sail making, the manufacture of flying boats, the world's first hovercraft and the testing and development of Britain's space rockets. It is home to the Isle of Wight International Jazz Festival, Bestival and the recently-revived Isle of Wight Festival, which, in 1970, was one of the largest rock music events ever held. The island has some exceptional wildlife and is also one of the richest fossil locations for dinosaurs in Europe.
Yarmouth, a very pretty harbour town, 10-15 minutes walk along the seafront. Yarmouth is the smallest town in the UK, and also the oldest town on the Island. Yarmouth Castle, a stone artillery fortress built for Henry VIII in the mid 16th century.
Blackgang Chine and Robin Hill. Two great adventure parks for children. Robin Hill is the venue for Bestival in September.
The Needles Battery. Overlooking the Needles, one of the most rescognisable coastal features in England, the battery was built in the latter part of the 19th century to defend the Solent against France. Also the testing site for the Black Knight and Black Arrow, Britains' first space rocket.
Appledurcombe House. Kids can learn falconry at the Owl and Falconry Centre.
Carisbrooke Castle. Famous as the castle where Charles I was imprisoned before his execution.
Osbourne House. The summer home of Queen Victoria, and the place where she died
Brading Roman Villa. Fascinating excavations of a Roman villa. Great for kids, who get to dress up as Romans as they wander round the ruins.
Dimbola Lodge. The Freshwater home of Julia Margaret Cameron, the famous Victorian portrait photographer. The house is now a museum with permanent exhibitions of Cameron's work and photography of the Isle of Wight pop festival.
Fort Victoria. Home to a marine aquarium, model railway, underwater archaeology, planetarium

In such a fabulous location, with so much outdoor space on the doorstep, this is a welcome opportunity for most of our guests to get their families away from the TV and outside playing in the fresh air in a safe and secure environment. This is why we have configured the living room furniture to be facing each other, and not lined up facing the TV. We appreciate this doesn't suit everyone's behaviour on holiday.
We certainly do provide logs and kindling wood, firelighters and matches for our guests, but we don't do this (for lots of reasons) during the summer months. May is, I'm afraid, past the cut off point for this service.
Our welcome packs are emailed to our guests, as many of our guests prefer to know what to do and where to go well before their holiday. Also, some of our recommendations need to be booked in advance. However, in future we will print out a copy of the welcome pack and leave it in the cottage as a back up.
Thank you for noticing that the cottage was very clean. Unlike most holiday rentals we do not use contract cleaners. We use a local housekeeper who takes enormous pride in preparing the cottage spotlessly clean during every turnaround. I once caught her removing the powder tray from the washing machine and cleaning it with a toothbrush! We are not exactly sure what is meant by the sofa being 'past it's comfortable best', because it is professionally cleaned regularly. But if it is in any way broken or stained it will be removed and replaced immediately.

aWallet Password Manager
• Securely stores your passwords, credit card information, e-banking credentials, web accounts and other custom data.
• There is a built in Editor for changing or creating new data Categories with custom icons.
• Search within fields.
• Contains no advertisements.
• Supports backup and restore of the encrypted data file to the Android USB device.
• Export of unencrypted data in CSV format to the USB device.
• There is an Auto lock feature that can be preconfigured for a specific period of time.
PRO FEATURES, available via single In-app billing payment:
• Password Generator
• CSV Import
• All data is encrypted, including Entry names, Category definitions and the data itself. Even the choice of Favorite Category is encrypted.
• Encrypts data using AES and Blowfish algorithms with key sizes of 256, 192 and 128 bits. And also supports Triple DES with key sizes of 168 and 112 bits.
• When the data file is decrypted, up to all combinations of algorithm, key size and cipher mode of operation (CBC, CFB, OFB and ECB) are tried with the Master password to unlock the data file. This was inspired by TrueCrypt and makes brute force attacks longer. The app itself does not store any hint to the actual cipher, key size or cipher mode of operation.
• Uses a randomly generated 'salt' combined with the Master password. Salt helps to protect from off-line dictionary attacks.
• The key to open the data file is created by combining your master password with the 512-bit 'salt'. The result is hashed 1000 times by SHA-256. Repetitive hashing makes a brute force attack more difficult.
• Supports auto destruction of the data file after a predefined number of unsuccessful unlocks have been tried.
• Unlike other similar Android apps aWallet has no internet access permission (forever). The only permissions this app has is to access to the USB device to backup/restore the data file in case you lose your phone. USB device access is also needed to export to CSV file format. Permission is also granted to the Google Play billing service to allow for the optional purchase of the aWallet Pro features.

Advanced Task Killer
-Ignore List
-One tap widget
-Auto kill
-Customize item height
ATK is often used to kill app and clean memory. We do suggest people use ATK manually kill apps instead of auto killing app.
1. How to use it (for new users to quick start)?
ATK is pretty simple. Open this tool and take a look at the running applications list? Uncheck some apps you don't want to kill (such as Advanced Task Killer and some system apps) Tap the button 'Kill selected apps', it will kill all applications checked.
2. How to use it (for new users to do more)?
If you don't want to kill any app, you can tap it on the running applications list. Then it's checking box will turn to gray.
3. Why there are app running that I haven't used or even opened?
Some app will start up once you turn on your phone or be invoked by some events.
4. What is ignore list/ignore?
Ignore list is for you to ignore some app you don't want to kill. If you long press on the app listed on the main screen of ATK, the menu will pop up, then you can select 'Ignore', the application would be moved to ignore list. When you tap 'Kill selected apps', it won't be killed any more.
5. What is default action for long press?
You can set your default action for long press and click on the settings. The system default action for long press is pop-menu. That means you when you long press on the application (displays on the running applications list), a pop-menu would shows up. For example, if you want to switch to the application after you long press on it, you can set the default action of long press to 'Switch to'.
6. Why I lost my network connection after I tap 'kill selected apps'?
This is because some apps related with network connection are killed, such as 'voicemail'. You can ignore it instead of killing it.
7. Why my Home reloaded?
This is because some apps related with Home are killed. Such as 'HTC Sense', 'Mail'(if it is integrated with Home). You can ignore it instead of killing it.
8. Why I cannot receive notification of Email?
This is because you killed 'Email'. Instead of killing it, you need to ignore it.
9. What is Auto Kill?
If you want to kill apps automatically you need to choose one of auto-kill level
- Safe: Only kill the apps aren't running but still consume memory.
- Aggressive: Kill the apps running background and apps aren't running.
- Crazy: All apps except for apps you are using with.
You should be able to see Auto Kill information shows on the title, like 'Auto-Kill: 12:20'. That means auto kill will start at 12:20, you can also change the frequency to impact the auto kill start time.
App killer is only a tool to kill apps and task. It won't help your battery directly. But if you kill any app which consumes battery a lot, you might think app killer is helping your battery.
Advanced Task Killer Pro is paid version which doesn't contain ads.
Note: For android 2.2 and later version, task manager cannot kill services and front apps, you have to force stop them. If you use task manager to kill them, services might restart; also notification won't be erased from the top bar. So we don't suggest people use task manager kill them.
Wakelock Detector [Root]
Need root access due to permission changes!
If not rooted, this alternative solution might help: http://goo.gl/Yqdh2F
Ever wondered why your smartphone screen doesnt turn off automatically when it should have, the screen wakes up all of a sudden or you find your phone battery drained even when you exited apps and turned off the screen? This might be due to wakelock holding apps. "Wakelock Detector" helps you to detect battery draining apps in your Android phone by checking wakelock usage history. Now you can easily find out what keep your phone awake and drain your battery when it is idle!
"Wakelock" is a mechanism of power management service in Android OS, which can be used to keep CPU awake (Partial wakelock) and keep the screen on(Full wakelock). Applications which use wakelock privilege improperly leads to situations where the CPU or phone screen stays active without user's knowledge and thus causing dramatic battery drain.
"Wakelock Detector" shows wakelock usage statistics for all applications, which ever held wakelock since boot. By default it displays CPU wakelocks sorting by the longest usage time. Further, you can choose Screen wakelock type to see screen related wakelocks. For instance, if your screen is keeping on even after screen timeout or your screen turns on randomly by itself, then you can choose Screen wakelock type on the top (Brightness icon) to see which apps are using screen wakelock. Furthermore, if you are interested in currently running applications then you can change sorting type to "Active" which shows active running applications on the top. For further details please refer to FAQ inside Settings.
Main features:
# shows both CPU wakelock (Partial wakelock) and (Full wakelock) ;
# merges wakelocks of corresponding app into one expandable view for better user experience;
# currently active running applications are shown in red color;
# allows easy sorting options by Running state , Wakelock time and Alphabetical order;
How to use:
#1 Charge your phone above 90% and unplug cable (or just reboot the phone)
#2 Give it a time (1-2 hours) to accumulate some wakelock usage statistics
#3 Open "Wakelock Detector"
#4 Check the apps on the top, if they show very long wakelock usage time then you found the cause of your battery drain!
We are working on improving the performance of the "Wakelock Detector" by adding new features regarding wakelock issues users usually face. We are trying to follow up all your comments. And we know that the application is not ideal yet. We would appreciate if you send us email before giving negative comments in the Play Store. Your feedbacks are always welcome!

Samsung DVFS Disabler
Samsung introduced "Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling" (DVFS) on its devices since Jellybean updates, it is a high level monitor to control the CPU frequencies scaling, Samsung used it in the past to cheat on its Benchmarks by releasing the cpu limits while while running a Benchmark tool.
DVFS is the main cause of many CPU scaling down issues on Kitkat updates, and this caused the devices running Touchwiz Kitkat builds to become very laggy after a heavy use or after playing games for a few minutes.

Witnesses: Ship with 600 migrants sinks off Libya
MILAN An overcrowded ship carrying up to 600 people trying to flee Libya sank just outside the port of Tripoli, the U.N. refugee agency said Monday, citing witness accounts.
Aid officials were still trying to confirm the fate of those people after the vessel broke apart Friday in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Libya, UNHCR spokeswoman Laura Boldrini said.
Witnesses who left the Libyan capital on another boat shortly afterward reported seeing remnants of the sunken ship and the bodies of some passengers floating in the sea, she told The Associated Press.
Other witnesses saw passengers swimming to shore but it was unclear how many survived, according to the International Organization for Migration.
Its staff on the tiny Italian island of Lampedusa interviewed a Somali woman who said she lost her four-month-old baby in the sinking. The woman swam to shore and managed to board another boat heading to Italy, the IOM said in a statement Monday.
A Libyan government spokesman in Tripoli had no comment Monday evening when asked for information about the sunken refugee ship.
At least three other boats that left Libya in late March have disappeared, with hundreds feared dead, Boldrini said.
The number of people fleeing North Africa has soared since mid-January, after Tunisia overthrew its longtime dictator and set off a series of uprisings in Egypt and Libya. Some 25,000 people, mostly Tunisians, have flooded Lampedusa, which is right off the North African coast.
Since fighting began in Libya in mid-February, the IOM estimates that another 10,000 people have reached Lampedusa or the neighboring island of Linosa from Libya - including almost 2,000 who arrived on five boats last weekend.
Many of those fleeing Libya are foreign workers from sub-Sahara Africa, who in the first weeks of the war were mistaken for mercenaries funded by Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and attacked by Libyan rebels.
The witnesses told aid workers that some would-be passengers in Tripoli became scared Friday and changed their minds about boarding the second boat but were forced onto the ship by Libyan soldiers.
"This is the first time that IOM has been told of migrants being forced by Libyan officials to get on a boat," IOM group said. In the past, some have reported being robbed by officials and soldiers of their savings and possessions like mobile phones.
Boldrini said the deaths and disappearances among people trying to cross the Mediterranean to flee unrest and repressive regimes in Africa is increasing as smugglers begin to use bigger and less seaworthy boats.
"Most of the boats, if not all of the boats, are unseaworthy," said IOM spokeswoman Jemini Pandya. "In addition, the boats are way overladen."
Witnesses of Friday's sinking said the Libyans "continued putting people onto the boat, way more than they should have," Pandya said.
In other missing boat cases, Boldrini said the UNHCR told the Italian Coast Guard that two boats carrying 120 and 360 migrants respectively left Libya in late March but never arrived in Italy. Their relatives fear they are dead since they have lost contact with them.
