The Ego Has Landed is a compilation album by English pop singer Robbie Williams. After the success of Williams around the world, especially in Europe, Williams was signed to Capitol Records in the United States, which is a part of EMI, the album was released in May 1999 in the United States and Canada, and later issued worldwide.
The Ego Has Landed is not classed as one of Williams' own solo albums as it was a compilation of his first two albums. It was his American debut album, combining tracks from his two official UK studio albums at the time, Life thru a Lens and I've Been Expecting You. The title is a parody of the famous transmission, "The Eagle Has Landed", from the first manned spacecraft to land on the moon.
Track listing[edit]
- "Lazy Days" – 3:53
- "Millennium" – 4:04
- "No Regrets" – 5:09
- "Strong" – 4:37
- "Angels" – 4:24
- "Win Some Lose Some" – 4:19
- "Let Me Entertain You" – 4:21
- "Jesus in a Camper Van" – 3:38 (replaced by "Phoenix From The Flames" - 4:02)
- "Old Before I Die" – 3:54
- "Killing Me" – 3:57
- "Man Machine" – 3:35
- "She's the One" – 4:18
- "Karma Killer" – 4:28
- "One of God's Better People" – 3:35
- The album contains a hidden poem after track 14 called "Hello Sir".
- Latin-American editions of the album feature "Angels" (Spanish version) as the track 15.
Williams embarked on a US Promotional Tour and when his first American single, "Millennium" was released, it peaked at No. 72 in the Billboard Hot 100. The album The Ego Has Landed was released in May 1999 in the United States and peaked at No. 63 in the Billboard albums chart, not having the success that he enjoyed in Europe. Despite this, Williams enjoyed good video airplay and received a nomination for the MTV Video Music Awards for "Best Male Video"; he did not win, but the exposure helped the sales of the album.
Capitol Records, trying to make Williams a bigger star, released a second single from the album, the ballad "Angels", for which Williams shot a new video. When it was released in the autumn of that year, the song became a somewhat bigger hit than "Millennium", charting at No. 41. However, this was not enough for Williams, so he concentrated on the rest of the world where he was already an established act. The album went on to sell 596,000 copies in the United States[3] being certified Gold by the RIAA in November of that year.[4]
The compilation was released worldwide (as a limited edition in Europe, pressings for the album are still going strong in Latin America, Asia and New Zealand to this day) and the album was a success in New Zealand, reaching No. 1 on the Official Albums Chart.[5] It went on to sell 140,000 copies being certified 9× Platinum. In Australia, the album ensured platinum sales over 70,000 copies. The album was promoted in Latin America as well. Williams recorded a Spanish version of his hit "Angels" and it was included as a bonus track on the album and then released as a single (almost two years after its original release in English). The Spanish version was a substantial hit in most Latin American countries, but as the single had already been big in 1997, most video and radio outlets focused on the tracks from his album I've Been Expecting You. Despite this, the compilation proved to be a medium success giving him Gold sales in Mexico and Argentina. It has sold over 1 million copies worldwide.

NuForce NE600X Red In-ear Headphones
"Context: I primarily listen to music through my setup of FLAC -> HRT Music Streamer II -> Little Dot Mk3 -> Hifiman HE-400. I bought these primarily to use at the gym with an ancient RCA mp3 player that only has 512mb, because expensive gear and sweat don't mix IMO.

" I initially bought these as a temporary replacement for my AKG K26Ps that crapped out on me after being left in a car for two weeks, and because I knew I'd want earbuds for music on the go.

Blue Spring State Park
Welcome to Blue Spring State Park
Blue Spring State Park covers more than 2,600 acres, including the largest spring on the St. Johns River. Blue Spring is a designated Manatee Refuge and the winter home to a growing population of West Indian Manatees. During our infamous Manatee season, which approximately runs from mid-November through March, several hundred manatee can be viewed atop the spring's overlooks. The spring and spring run are closed to all water activity while manatees are present during this time. Swimming or diving with manatees is not permitted; this rule is strictly enforced.
The spring´s crystal clear, 73 degree water can be enjoyed by swimmers, snorkelers, and certified scuba divers with a partner during our designated swimming season. Fishing, canoeing and boating are also enjoyed along the St. John's River. River boat tours are available; for reservations, call St. Johns River Cruises at (386) 917-0724.
A self-guided tour inside The Historic Thursby house, built in 1872, can also be experienced. In addition the park has plenty of picnic areas as well as three covered pavilions. Air-conditioned cabins and a full-facility campground are available for visitors interested in staying overnight.
Due to heavy visitation, we recommend arriving early to ensure entrance into the park.

The upcoming HIPAA Omnibus Rule is poised to transform an already challenging privacy and security landscape for business associates or those who provide services to HIPAA "covered entities." The HITECH Act has already imposed greater compliance responsibility on business associates and their subcontractors. The rules are set to change further and failure to comply can result in compliance reviews, investigations, seven figure financial penalties, and other sanctions. In fact, the Office for Civil Rights, the agency responsible for HIPAA enforcement, recently announced concerns regarding business associate HIPAA compliance and plans to target business associates in upcoming audits.
If this is not enough to keep your privacy officer and security officers busy, there are overlapping, and continually evolving, state data security laws that must be evaluated along with HIPAA in order to ensure full compliance with privacy and security requirements. It is critical to protect your organization on all fronts with respect to these laws.
Mintz Levin is following the developments related to the final HIPAA Omnibus Rule closely, and we will hold a webinar on the final Rule within days of its release. Watch this space for the announcement!

Cubs recognize Clemente prior to Hispanic Heritage Month
(Photo by Louis Requena/MLB Photos via Getty Images)
Pirates Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente was an icon for the game of baseball for what he did both on and off the field. Prior to Friday's game, the Cubs will kick off upcoming Hispanic Heritage Month with a tribute to the life of former Major Leaguer with a special on-field pregame recognition. His son Luis Clemente, members from Clemente High School and the cast from the Off-Broadway musical 'Clemente: The Legend of 21' will all be on hand.
Clemente, a Puerto Rican-born professional baseball player spent 18 seasons with the Pirates, winning four batting titles and 12 Gold Gloves. He was the first black Latino player inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame after passing away in a tragic aviation accident en route to aid earthquake victims in Nicaragua in 1972. He was known for his baseball skills in right field and his charity work in Puerto Rico and Latin America.
The musical 'Clemente: The Legend of 21', now playing at NightBlue Performing Arts Company at Stage 773 through Sept. 14, celebrates the life of Clemente in the form of a "bio-musical" with a mix of Latin sounds and dance.
Members from the show will sing Friday's National Anthem and lead the crowd in the seventh inning stretch with Luis Clemente.
Now Playing: The Cubs honor U.S. champion Jackie Robinson West Little League at Wrigley Field
Chicago's Jackie Robinson West All-Stars, who claimed the U.S. Little League title and played in the Little League World Series against South Korea, joined the Cubs for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Little League team enjoyed a day at Wrigley Field with teammates, coaches and their families. Before the game, Cubs players celebrated JRW's accomplishments by wearing the Little League team's home jerseys and ball caps during pregame routines.
JRW had a meet-and-greet with Cubs players, toured the clubhouse, was recognized in the pregame ceremony—which included the team's coach, Darold Butler, throwing out the game's ceremonial first pitch—and led the crowd in "Take me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch.
The Cubs-worn JRW jerseys and ball caps, along with two jerseys signed by the entire JRW team, will be up for auction through Cubs Charities at www.Cubs.com/auction. Bids for jerseys will start at $100, and hats will start at $45. All proceeds will benefit Jackie Robinson West Little League.

The Cubs have excited baseball fans with their recent youth movement, but no youngsters wowed America quite like the Jackie Robinson West All-Stars. The Chicago South Side Little League team captivated the country last week, claiming the U.S. Little League title. The team will be on hand Monday to throw out the first pitch and sing the seventh-inning stretch on Labor Day as the Cubs kick off a six-game homestand against division rivals Milwaukee and Pittsburgh.
All of those players on the JRW squad were born in the 2000s, the decade being celebrated on this homestand, as the Cubs continue to honor 100 years of Wrigley Field with decade-themed promotional giveaways, specialty food and beverage offerings, and entertainment. On Friday, Sept. 5, Hall of Famer Greg Maddux will be recognized with a 3000th Strikeout bobblehead for the first 10,000 fans. On Sunday, Sept. 7, the first 5,000 kids 13-and-under will receive a Clark the Cub Build-a-Bear Doll, and the first 1,000 kids can run the bases postgame.
The team will host two special events, which offer fans a chance to attend a game with others who share the same interests along with an exclusive promotional item and fan experience. Salute to Armed Forces Day is on Monday, Sept. 1, while the Cubs Oktoberfest Celebration is Wednesday, Sept. 3. A Special Event ticket is required to participate in each event.
Fans coming to the ballpark Monday through Wednesday also can take home a Hall of Famer's autograph for a charitable cause. Fergie Jenkins will sign autographs from 10:30 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Cubs Store across from Wrigley Field on Monday, Sept. 1, and inside Clark's Clubhouse on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 2-3, from 6 p.m. until the sixth inning to raise money for the Ron and Vicki Santo Diabetic Alert Dog Foundation. Vicki Santo and Logan Burke, the first recipient of an alert dog from the foundation, will throw ceremonial first pitches on Sept. 3.

Historic Moments:
The Chicago Cubs made three playoff appearances during the 2000s (2003, 2007-08) and recognized several of the team's most important alumni, including Hall of Famers Ernie Banks, Fergie Jenkins, Greg Maddux and Ron Santo.
On Sept. 27, 2003, the Cubs swept the Pirates in a doubleheader to clinch the NL Central. The team retired the No. 10 jersey in honor of Ron Santo the next day. In his speech, Santo said, "This is my Hall of Fame." He would later be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame posthumously.
On July 26, 2005, Greg Maddux struck out Omar Vizquel for his 3,000th career strikeout. The No. 31 jersey number he shared with Fergie Jenkins was retired May 3, 2009, in their honor.
During Labor Day weekend in 2005, Jimmy Buffett turned the Friendly Confines into Margaritaville, selling out two shows inside the ballpark.
On March 31, 2008, the Cubs unveiled a statue of Hall of Fame infielder Ernie Banks at the corner of Clark and Addison streets. The Cubs also returned to the postseason for the second-straight year, clinching the division title by defeating the rival Cardinals 5-4 on Sept. 20 in Chicago. Wrigley Field established an attendance record in 2008, as 3,300,200 fans attended 81 regular season home games.
On July 29, 2008, The "Road to Wrigley" Game featured the Cubs' Class-A Peoria Chiefs, managed by Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, vs. the Kane County Cougars. The game drew 32,103 fans.

From the Pages of Vine Line: The Chicago Bears at Wrigley Field
The following can be found in the August issue of Vine Line.
Playing football at Wrigley Field always presented its fair share of challenges. First, there were the shorter-than-regulation end zones and the wooden boards covering the Cubs' dugout entrances. Add in the tilted field, mercilessly beaten-up turf, tiny locker rooms and other quirks, and the gameday experience was far from perfect.
But that didn't stop the Chicago Bears, one of the most storied franchises in football history, from calling the Friendly Confines home for a half century. Legendary players, from Dick Butkus to Mike Ditka to Gale Sayers, all graced the field, and the Bears brought the beloved stadium its most recent championship in 1963. If anything, the now-100-year-old ballpark's quirks only added to the lore.
Of course, the substandard field conditions didn't faze Butkus. The rough and rugged Hall of Fame linebacker said he enjoyed playing at Wrigley Field more than at Soldier Field, where the Bears moved on a permanent basis in 1971, during the latter stages of his career.
The Bears legend recalled an episode during his rookie season in which he was sitting in the crowded clubhouse awaiting instructions on the next day's opponent, but couldn't hear a word coach George Halas was saying.
"I don't know what the deal was, but all the veterans would bring their dogs to practice and have them in the room there," Butkus said. "The old man's trying to talk, and the dogs are barking, and I'm thinking, 'Jesus.' One had a pit bull. [Ed O'Bradovich] had a Great Dane. But to me, that was the pros."
Welcome to football at Wrigley Field. It might not have been the ideal situation, but it was never dull.
* * * *
Back when football was first played at Weeghman Park—as the stadium on Clark and Addison was known at the time—it wasn't really done with the fans in mind. Getting spectators into the stadium was obviously a priority, but the new sport was primarily concerned with finding its footing in the muddy ground of expansionism. Football games were played at Weeghman simply because teams needed a venue, and the park's owners felt it would be a good way to make a little extra cash. The stadium was sitting dormant for half the year anyway.
But the baseball-first facility presented a number of challenges when it came to laying out a 100-yard football pitch without risking player safety—especially after the renovation that added an outfield wall and reshaped the bleachers in 1937.
The field ran north and south from left field to behind home plate. The north end zone ended just 18 inches in front of the solid brick left-field wall, while the southeast corner of the south end zone extended into the first-base dugout. To even out the surface, the grounds crew filled the dugout steps with sand. This also meant that corner of the end zone was smaller than the regulation 10 yards.
These hazards might sound ridiculous given the way the modern game is played, but according to Cubs historian Ed Hartig, there were hardly gifted wide receivers, let alone fade routes leading players into the corners of the end zones, during that era.
"Back then, it was supposed to be a running game," Hartig said. "You didn't run to the back of the end zone to make a catch. This is a time when the goalposts were still on the goal line."
* * * *
In the ballpark's early football days, it mainly drew high school, military and semipro squads. Sometimes as many as four games per day were scheduled on the field. Starting in 1919, independent teams like the Hammond All-Star Football Club, which signed a six-game lease, wanted to test the sport's popularity in the city.
With a roster that included players like Olympic great Jim Thorpe and Northwestern standout Paddy Driscoll, the Hammond squad managed to draw upward of 10,000 fans at some games that season. The potential of the new sport sparked the interest of a few more Chicago-based teams and quickly led the Decatur Staleys to the city's North Side.
In 1920, former University of Illinois standout George Halas was put in charge of a company football team funded by food starch conglomerate owner A.E. Staley. In his inaugural season at the helm, Halas came up from Decatur to play a few neutral-site games and then led his Staleys to a de facto championship game at Cubs Park, where the team battled the Akron Steel to a 0-0 tie in front of 12,000 fans.
Halas believed the game might have an audience in Chicago, and, coincidentally, Staley was looking for an out.
"After a couple years, Mr. Staley said, 'We're a starch company. We're not a sports team,'" Hartig said. "'I can't keep supporting [the team]. I will for one more year, if you can get an opportunity to find your own supporters.'"
With the temporary backing of Staley, Halas took the team from central Illinois to the big city in 1921 and quickly found a home—albeit one with a field that fell a few yards shy of regulation. Halas reached out to Cubs President and Treasurer Bill Veeck Sr. about using Cubs Park.
The two sides reached a handshake one-year agreement in just minutes. The Cubs received 15 percent of the gate (20 percent when the receipts exceeded $10,000) and the concessions, while the Staleys retained all rights to the game programs. According to the coach's autobiography, Halas by Halas, the deal would remain unchanged for the remainder of the partnership.
"The deal they got at Wrigley in terms of concessions and that type of stuff was very, very favorable to the team," Hartig said. "The Wrigleys weren't looking to make a big amount of money off the Bears."
In conjunction with the move, the team was renamed the Chicago Staleys. One year later, with the contractual obligation completed between Staley and Halas, the new owner changed the moniker to the Chicago Bears, noting that his football players were larger than the Cubs baseball players with whom they shared the stadium.
The Bears would call Wrigley Field home for the next 50 years, enjoying seven NFL titles, franchise-defining superstars and incredible individual performances. The field conditions were rarely pristine due to the team's heavy practice load—the grass was usually gone so the team would paint the playing surface green—but some former players wouldn't have had it any other way.
"Even though it was a baseball field, I just felt it was great playing there because that was the essence of being a pro," said Butkus, who called Wrigley home from 1965-70. "A pro should be able to play at a prairie on the South Side if need be."
Off the field, the locker rooms were also far from ideal. The Cubs clubhouse back then was a smaller version of the cramped quarters the North Siders call home today. But imagine that room with more people, bigger pads and larger human beings. Butkus joked the rooms were probably too small for a basketball team. Still, he believed it was a better situation than what the visiting teams had to deal with.
"I don't think they were too happy with the field when they played here," Butkus said. "I really don't think the opposing team liked walking down from their locker room, with those screens there [and] with everybody yelling and throwing [stuff] at them."
That's home-field advantage at its Chicago best.
* * * *
Despite the stadium's shortcomings, there was no shortage of great play on the field. One of the best individual performances in NFL history occurred at the Friendly Confines on Dec. 12, 1965, when Bears Hall of Fame running back Gale Sayers tied an NFL record with six touchdowns in a single game. All day long, he wove in and out of a hapless 49ers defense that had a difficult time keeping its footing in the heavy mud.
"It was my game, it's as simple as that," Sayers said. "I've always said, and I'll continue to say, 'God gave me a gift to go out there and run with the football,' and that's what I did. I probably could have scored 10 touchdowns that day, but, hey, the time ran out. It's just a day that was a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
Another notable performance on the Wrigley Field turf occurred in December 1963, when the Bears—led by quarterback Billy Wade and standout tight end Mike Ditka—wrapped up the NFL championship with a 14-10 win over the Giants. It marked the last time a Chicago team claimed a title at Wrigley Field.
Eventually, as the game grew, football became too big for the cozy confines of a baseball stadium. Attendance continued to soar, and the small ballpark was unable to expand to meet demand. In 1970, it was announced that the next fall's season would be the last at the facility. While Wrigley Field generally held slightly less than 37,000 fans for baseball, the Bears drew at least 40,000 to each of their final 56 games there, a stretch that began on Dec. 16, 1962.
"There are a couple of reasons why they left," Hartig explained. "The NFL wanted bigger stadiums, and the park just couldn't do it. In addition, the NFL … got more into television coverage. They wanted cameras in the end zone, and there wasn't really room for it [at Wrigley Field]. And the end zone was dangerous."
On May 13, 1971, the Bears announced Soldier Field would become the organization's new home. The bigger stadium held 52,000 fans—8,000 more than Wrigley held at capacity—and was much more prepared for the NFL's massive growth. Despite the new venue, it wasn't a hit with all the players.
"I really enjoyed playing [at Wrigley Field]. I thought it was better than going to Soldier Field the first couple years," said Butkus, who spent three seasons at the Bears' current home. "They put in the damn Astroturf, and in the locker room over there, you can see the beams holding up the stadium. It was ready to cave in at any moment, it looked like."
The Bears have long had a reputation as a gritty, smashmouth football team. And while Soldier Field is packed with its own history, much of the dirt and grit that defined the organization's early years first manifested at the corner of Clark and Addison.
"I enjoyed playing here at Wrigley Field," Sayers said. "I've always said it was 50 yards wide and 100 yards long, and that's all I needed."

Historic Moments:
Wrigley Field witnessed several noteworthy events in the 1990s, including Kerry Wood's 20-strikeout game, the unveiling of the Harry Caray statue and the addition of Jack Brickhouse's "Hey, Hey" to the Wrigley Field foul poles.
On July 9, 1990, Ryne Sandberg won the Home Run Derby on a warm summer night at Wrigley Field. The next day, Wrigley Field hosted the All-Star Game for the third time as the American League defeated the National League, 2-0. That same year, after Greg Maddux had gone 13 starts without a win, manager Don Zimmer promised to swim across Lake Michigan if Maddux won his next game at Wrigley Field. Maddux delivered with a 4-2 victory over the Padres.
Though Zimmer showed up to the postgame news conference in a life jacket and sunglasses, he declined to make the 60-mile swim, claiming he "swims like a rock."
On Opening Day in 1994, Karl "Tuffy" Rhodes hit home runs in three consecutive at-bats off the Mets' Doc Gooden to become just the second player in major league history to hit three home runs on Opening Day.
On April 7, 1994, Michael Jordan made his Chicago baseball debut, playing for the White Sox and going 2-for-4 with two RBI in the Windy City Classic. The exhibition game ended in a 4-4 tie after 10 innings.
In 1997, Juniper bushes were added to the center field batter's eye, replacing several rows of empty, deteriorating bleachers.
On May 6, 1998, in one of the most dominant pitching performances in big league history, 20-year-old Kerry Wood struck out 20 batters to tie a record and beat the Astros, 2-0, in his fifth start. Wood allowed just one hit—an infield single. That year, Wood earned the National League Rookie of the Year Award.
On June 5, 1998, the Cubs and White Sox played their first Interleague game at Wrigley Field. The Cubs won on a Brant Brown home run in extra innings and completed a sweep of the Sox two days later.
On June 30, 1998, Sammy Sosa hit his 20th home run of June against the Arizona Diamondbacks, earning Player of the Month honors and setting a major league record for home runs in a month.
In 1998, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire staged a memorable home run chase, culminating with Sosa earning the National League Most Valuable Player Award.
On Sept. 28, 1998, the Cubs went head to head with the San Francisco Giants in a Wild Card Tiebreaker Game. Steve Trachsel pitched a no-hitter into the seventh inning, and the Cubs beat the Giants 5-3 to claim the National League Wild Card spot on a Gary Gaetti home run.
On April 12, 1999, the Cubs unveiled a statue of Harry Caray at the corner of Sheffield and Addison and added Jack Brickhouse's iconic "Hey, Hey" to the Wrigley Field foul poles.
Finally, On Sept. 25, 1999, the Cubs honored their All-Century team before a matchup against the Pirates. Twenty players and one manager were elected by fan balloting. That same year, Mark Grace went 2-for-4 in the final home game of 1999, finishing the decade as the major league leader in hits (1,754) and doubles (364).

Fans will also have the chance to enjoy live entertainment starting at 11 a.m. until the beginning of the game, and after O.A.R.'s postgame set.
Available for purchase during the performance will be ballpark food and beverage options, including Vienna Beef hot dogs, snacks and Anheuser-Busch products, as well as O.A.R. merchandise.

Apple changes MFi policy in response to POP charger Kickstarter campaign
The POP charging station from Edison Junior prompted a policy change from Apple
The POP Portable features a 2,600 mAh battery
The POP charger features a combo 30-pin/micro-USB connector
The POP charger comes in battery-powered "Portable" and AC-powered "Station" models
The POP charger can charge multiple devices at once
Article Summary
Last week, after Apple pulled the plug on the POP multi-device charging station crowdfunding campaign, the device was set to claim the dubious honor of becoming the largest refund from a Kickstarter project to date. After exceeding its funding goal almost three times over, Apple informed the device's creator, James Siminoff, that its licensing rules wouldn't allow a device that featured both Lightning and 30-pin adapters. Apple says it has now reviewed its specifications, possibly giving POP the green light.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane
The Ocean at the End of the Lane (Hardcover)
By Neil Gaiman
Usually Ships in 1-5 days
A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home and is drawn to the farm at the end of the road where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl and her mother and grandmother. As he sits by the pond -behind the ramshackle old house, the unremembered past comes flooding back--a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
A groundbreaking work as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out.

Mobile phones have transformed East Africa, not just from a social and cultural point of view, but access to and use of mobile phones and applications is also shaking up the region's entire economic system. m:lab East Africa has organized editions of its regional mobile startups pitching competition and conference dubbed Pivot 25 and Pivot East respectively in the past two years. In this years competition there will be a paradigm shift from focusing on mobile applications and developers to startups becoming sustainable enterprises according to organizers who held a briefing session for media on Tuesday 12th February.
Pivot East is about catalysing the growth of mobile start-ups, with an aim to amplify and consolidate the gains of East Africa's Mobile developer and entrepreneurship ecosystem. The final pitching conference will take place in Kampala Uganda from 25th - 26th June 2013
A key objective for Pivot East 2013 is "to facilitate discovery of the next wave of high potential mobile start-ups".
Other objectives include;
- To consolidate recent gains of the regional mobile ecosystem and help direct the thinking from mobile applications to mobile entrepreneurship.
- To sustain the push towards mobile innovations being high in the agenda of regional governments, corporates and development agencies
- To raise the quality of mobile startups in the region and to improve their investability
Organizers giving a media briefing at iHub. From left: Moses Kemibaro (Pivot East 2013 producer), Ken Mwenda (eMobilis MD), Erik Hersman (iHub Founder) and John Kieti (m:lab Manager)
The competition has five categories as follows :-
- Mobile Finance – including mobile payments, banking, insurance etc.
- Mobile Enterprise – including management of human capital, the value chain, marketing, production, customers etc.
- Mobile Entertainment – including gaming, social networking, magazines, music, video, photography etc.
- Mobile society – including education, agriculture, health, governance and other social development themes.
- Mobile Utilities – A catch all category including applications for enhancing the usability and versatility of mobile devices.
During the media briefing a few issues were raised, why there are so many pitching competitions in the region. This is because techpreneur are not taught how to pitch their products to investors in school. Pitching competitions gives them a platform to learn about how to talk about their products to investors. Its important to have enough competitions to build our capacity and companies"
Pivot Eastorganizerswill conduct information workshops across the region in the next four weeks for mobile developers and entrepreneurs. The first information workshop will be held in Nairobi at iHub on 23rd March 2013 10:00 - 12:30pm.

Entries to the competition are to be submitted through the startups information platform on entries.pivoteast.com.
The deadline for submission of applications is on 15th April 2013. Applicants are encouraged to start building their startup profiles early and to source for the required information pieces

Pocket Sandwich Theater
5400 East Mockingbird Lane, Dallas, TX 75206Map
Suite 119
+1 214 821 1860
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Neighborhood: East Dallas
Best described as interactive theater, Pocket Sandwich Theater is a great entertainment venue. Enjoy a sandwich or salad while experiencing parodies of a popular play or locally written comedies. Patrons shout "boo-hiss" at the villain and "hip hip hooray" to the heroine. Newcomers might think the popcorn is a snack, but regulars know that it's used to pelt the "bad-guys" on stage. This unique adventure is fun for all ages. You will leave with your sides aching from laughing out loud. Dinner selections include sandwiches, salads and a few basic appetizers. The bar offers wine and mixed drinks along with beer by the glass or pitcher. Make reservations at the beginning of the week, as seats are hard to come by.

Comment: There's not one answer (Score 1) 496
My dentist once told me that I obviously have viking blood. (He was right; I'm essentially half Scot and half Russian.) I am also a diabetic. I'm not alone. Roughly a third of Americans at this point are either diabetic or on the road to diabetes. If I ate the kind of carbs this guy eats, I'd have to load up on hundreds of units of insulin, and I'd never lose a pound. That's not speculation, I've tried that sort of diet. (Was a vegetarian for years, and couldn't lose weight on a 1200 Calorie vegetarian diet. And I was ravenously hungry and depressed all the time.)
Instead, the diet that has worked for me (very successfully) has been cutting the carbs. Most of my calories come from meat. I eat 4 or more eggs and bacon for breakfast. I quickly learned, by following my blood sugar meter, that I simply could not tolerate the 200+ grams of carbs that the government recommends. Since making the decision to follow my blood sugar 100% and ignore studies that, at best, present an average of what worked for someone else, I've lost well over 100 lbs. while increasing my lean body mass. My trigclycerides, once over 1000, have plunged. My HDL is high, my LDL is low, and most importantly my last A1c (a measure of blood sugar over time) was normal for a non-diabetic at 4.9%.
I'm glad his diet worked for him. It wouldn't work for me. No doubt, my diet wouldn't work for him. And that's ok. The notion that there's one perfect diet for everyone is virtually idiotic. And, most importantly, it doesn't work. That's not to say that there aren't some useful general principles, some patterns that are more likely to work for you. But at the end of the day it's your health; take the time to figure out what will work for you.
