[by Gwak Min sun / translated by Chloe Yun] Everyone gets jealous of celebrities' flawless skin. What is their beauty secret to keep skin healthy and glowing despite of their tight schedule?
It is hard to keep healthy skin without special care. Of course, there are few lucky people who were born with good skin condition, but it is still not easy for them to protect skin from external stresses. Most of celebrities with perfect skin reveal that they pay much attention to skincare, from careful cleansing method to special skincare product to dermatological treatment.
What kind of beauty products do celebrities use? Let's fund out their secret weapon to flaunt flawless, radiant skin.
◆Skin trouble NO! Professional trouble spot gel
If you find out you got acne on your face in the morning, you would be depressed and lack of confidence all day long. We introduce a beauty product that calms irritated acne and erases the spot quickly.
Natural, organic cosmetic brand Young Shop Story's 'AC Clear Magic Gel' provides excellent antibacteria effect, quickly curing skin troubles and ease irritated skin. It contains herbal vitalizing no. 5 which provides nutrition, treats acne spots, and accordingly helps keep smooth skin.
'AC Clear Magic Gel' has got more attention since it was known to be a favorite product of the two K-pop stars, U-KISS's Dong Ho and Rainbow's Koh Woo ri. We highly recommend 'AC Clear Magic Gel' for those who look for an effective skin trouble care.
◆ Essene to boost skin cell reproduction
If you put a lot of products on your face, they would not be effectively absorbed to skin, no matter how good and expensive the products you use. Most women follow 4 steps—toner, essence, moisturizer, and cream in order—but it is okay to delete either moisturizer or cream step, for they have very similar effect. However, never forget the essence which provides skin with special nutrition!
Young Shop Story's 'Nature Solution Skin Essence' is a product that boosts skin cell reproduction. It has become popular as actor Kim Jae won and KARA's Gyu Lee recommended it as their favorite. It has a smooth texture and great smell. Its orgainic ingredient NMF keeps skin moisturized all day long and controls water/oil balance.
Especially, 'Nature Solution Skin Essence' is only made of natural, organic materials, excluding any chemical ingredients such as paraben, ethanol, and artificial coloring, so every skin type and age group can use it without worries. (photo by Young Shop Story)

Levi Chavez is waking up a free man after a Sandoval County jury acquitted him of his wife's murder on Tuesday, but his legal battle isn't over.
A wrongful death lawsuit filed by Tera Chavez's family can resume now that the murder trial is over. The civil suit alleges Chavez staged the theft of his truck for insurance money and then killed his wife when she found out.
The family's attorney, Brad Hall, released the following statement about the pending suit:
"I intend to meet with the Personal Representative of the Estate and then the guardian ad litem for the children, and evaluate our options in a week or two, as our schedules permit. There is no particular hurry, and the same evaluation will take place, no matter whether the criminal case was 'win, lose or draw' for any particular party. Its (sic) a legal analysis, primarily, with an eye towards what is best for the statutory beneficiaries. Levi Chavez, the guardian ad litem for Tera's children, and the Personal Representative of the Estate all previously stipulated that the only beneficiaries of any settlement and insurance proceeds are the children."
During the murder trial, Chavez's defense team fought to obtain evidence from the civil case, but the judge prohibited it.
According to the Associated Press, the city of Albuquerque has already paid $230,000 to the Cordova family to settle claims against the police department in this civil case.
Tera was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in October of 2007. Initially, her death was ruled a suicide, but later changed to a homicide by Valencia County investigators after claims of a botched police investigation surfaced.

: :lwkt_relalltokens is defined in thread.h, but because :of an #ifdef in lwkt_thread.c, thread2.h is included :instead of thread.h. Are these backwards in the #ifdef? Ouch. It's a bit more complicated then I originally thought. Or actually, less complicated then I thought. The token code still has the same semantics as it did before, but on SMP systems I am using an active spinlock now instead of a passive per-cpu lock. When I originally coded it I forgot that the spinlock routines would not work as interlocks on UP builds (because they are just degenerate NOPs on UP builds). But, at the same time, on a UP system there is no need to track tokens on a per-thread basis and no need to have a spinlock or even *DO* anything when a thread switch occurs. Since by definition a held token is only 'active' when the thread holding it is running, the only thing that is needed on a UP system is to check whether a token is being held by a preempted thread. Neither lwkt_getalltokens() or lwkt_relalltokens() needs to be called at all on a UP system. I am cleaning it all up now and will commit a fix shortly. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Multiple-scanning-probe force microscope measures electrical transport in graphene flakes
Technology for measuring the electrical transport properties of nano- and micro-sized samples is a key factor in promoting the practical use of rapidly developed functional materials. In many cases these measurements are performed using fixed electrodes fabricated by a lithographic technique. However, the residue of resist materials introduced during lithographic processes may affect the properties of the measured object. Also, it is not always easy to place electrodes at desired positions on randomly distributed microscopic objects such as exfoliated graphene flakes on silicon dioxide (SiO2) films.
To tackle these challenges, a team from the National Institute for Materials Sciences (NIMS) and HORIBA Ltd, Japan, has developed a multiple-scanning-probe microscope (MSPM); a direct measurement tool for characterizing nano/micro conductors using two or more probes individually controlled in the manner of scanning probe microscopy.
A specially arranged tuning fork probe, which can be operated in vacuum, air and liquid environments, is used as a self-detection force sensor to operate the MSPM as an MSPFM, namely, in frequency modulation atomic force microscopy (AFM) mode.
Probing graphene
The group demonstrated simultaneous AFM imaging with four independent probes closely positioned around the same microscopic feature on the sample surface. Four-terminal electrical measurement is performed in air by placing each probe electrode in contact with a graphene flake exfoliated on a SiO2 film. The sheet resistance of the flake is then measured by the van der Pauw method.
The MSPFM has the potential to measure the intrinsic electrical properties of microscopic materials regardless of the conductivity of the substrate without using a scanning electron microscope.
The team's results provide a new approach to probing nano/micron-scale signal transfer in a wide range of materials in various environments, such as in ultrahigh vacuum, air and liquid.
More details can be found in the journal Nanotechnology.
About the author
The study was conducted by researchers from the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and HORIBA, Ltd. Seiji Higuchi developed an integrated control system for a multiple-scanning-probe microscope during a doctoral course of material science and engineering at the graduate school of pure and applied sciences, University of Tsukuba. He is currently a visiting researcher at NIMS from HORIBA, Ltd. In the company, he is developing and marketing the application of multiple-scanning-probe microscopy. Osamu Kubo and Hiromi Kuramochi are researchers from the International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA), NIMS. Tomonobu Nakayama and Masakazu Aono are the principal investigator and the director-general of MANA, NIMS, respectively.

Editors Notes
Now a global super brand, Nike started from humble beginnings in 1950s America. A college track coach named Bill Bowerman, and an athlete named Phil Knight, combined their skills and knowledge to bring innovation to the world of running shoes.
One of these innovations was inspired by Bill Bowerman's waffle iron. Bowerman realised that by creating gridded grip on the soles of their shoes, the shoe would have greater traction yet still propel the runner forward.
From the start, Nike recognised the significant correlation between equipment and performance. They carry this guiding principle through all of their products, whether that's the football kit for the Brazilian national team, golfing gear for Tiger Woods or your running shoes.
The brand continues to seek new and innovative ways to develop superior athletic products; this can be seen in the technology worked into improving your running experience with Nike+ products.

Glasgow Travel Guide
Just a few decades ago, Glasgow was a gray, gritty city of dank pubs and homely slums. However, the same dogged Glaswegians that survived years of deterioration kindled a cultural rejuvenation in the '80s and '90s, fanning the flames of urban renewal throughout the city. Today, Glasgow offers a high-intensity clubbing experience; a surprisingly good art scene; a live-music scene, which has discovered the likes of Franz Ferdinand and Snow Patrol; and numerous places to ... continue» Read More
When to Visit Glasgow
The best time to visit Glasgow is the months between March and August when temperatures reach their peak and daylight hours are long. On the flip side, the winters are characterized by bitter cold and short days. Budget airlines, flying from London Heathrow (LHR) or other major hubs, have made Glasgow travel relatively affordable year-round. But to find deals on hotels, you should book a trip over the weekend when business travelers have returned home.Read More Best Times to Visit Glasgow»

Getting Around Glasgow
Glasgow Neighborhoods
Nearly 70 square miles in area, Glasgow is broken into several large districts -- the City Centre, which references much of the centralized area north of the River Clyde; the West End, located west of the City Centre; and Southside, located across the River Clyde from the City Centre. Note that some of these districts are further broken into smaller neighborhoods.
City Centre
The City Centre is the central sweep of development just north of the River Clyde. This large neighborhood contains Glasgow's coveted shopping districts. Lining the Sauchiehall, Buchanan and Argyle pedestrian streets are a number of department stores, boutique shops, and high-end chains, including Debenham's and Jaeger. When it rains (and it will), head indoors for more shopping at Buchanan Galleries, St. Enoch's Square, Princes Square and the jewelry trove at the Argyll Arcade.
Waiting out afternoon rains at the cinema is always a good idea, and the City Centre has several venues, including the Glasgow Film Theatre, which shows indie films and the Odeon City Centre, which shows Hollywood blockbusters.
The City Centre's northeastern neighbor has been called Cathedral, Townhead and Medieval City, among other names, but visitors can easily recall it by remembering what it holds -- the Glasgow Cathedral, among other historic attractions. The site of the cathedral, which was built between the 12th and 14th centuries, had religious purposes dating back to St. Mungo in the 5th century. The adjacent Glasgow Necropolis is a Victorian cemetery set on acres of rolling green and makes for a peaceful -- even meditative -- stroll on a nice afternoon.
Trongate and East End
Located east of the City Centre and south of the Glasgow Cathedral, the Trongate and East End area is most famous for the vibrant Barras Market, which sells everything from food to furniture, and much in between. Fodor's says, "Stalls hawk antique (and not-so-antique) furniture, bric-a-brac, good and not-so-good jewelry, and textiles -- you name it, it's here." Barras is a must-see, but guard your wallets against pickpocketers.
Also in this less impressive eastern side of the city is the Tron Theatre, a 17th-century church turned contemporary-theater venue. And sidled up against the river is the Glasgow Green, one of the city's oldest public parks.
Merchant City
Merchant City's boundaries run from the northern George Square to Argyle and Trongate streets in the south, which is southeast of Glasgow's Cathedral area. George Square is generally considered the geographic, as well as the figurative center of Glasgow. Let's Go Scotland says, "Filled with couples, tourists, and pigeon feeders, the square is frequently the site of citywide displays and events. Although named for George III, the square's 80 ft. central column features a statue of Sir Walter Scott, Scottish novelist and poet."
Brimming with Georgian and Victorian architecture -- represented in the City Chambers building, among others -- this neighborhood is one of the few residential districts in the city. But you'll also find a healthy array of hot clubs and bars, restaurants, hotels and stores, leading many to compare this area to New York's Soho.
West End
Anchored by the University of Glasgow, a towering example of neo-gothic architecture set atop one of Scotland's telltale emerald hills, the West End area bursts with youth and energy. Travel Channel says, "Its parkland setting and cosmopolitan vibe mix seamlessly with the fashionable, affluent feel of the surrounding area." Second-hand shops, green parks and ethnic eateries mingle with opulent homes, fine-dining establishments and high-end stores, giving the West End a refined bohemian ambience. Also located in this western neighborhood is the Museum of Transport and Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, around which millionaires make their homes (in Kelvinside). The Botanic Gardens and Kibble Palace are more tourist favorites. And the restaurants congregated in this area are the best in all of Glasgow.
The Southside, located on the south side of the River Clyde, is the urban City Centre's verdant opposite. Filled with green space, from Bellahouston Park, which contains the House for an Art Lover, to Pollok Country Park, which contains the Burrell Collection, the Southside is also heavily residential. Here the Citizens Theatre shows performances of everything from Shakespeare to contemporary plays; the Tramway houses the Scottish Opera and the Scottish Ballet; and Hampden Park hosts football games, concerts and other events.
A bit grittier than Edinburgh (its eastern counterpart), Glasgow sees its fair share of crime, but most of it is inflamed by drugs or too much alcohol and amongst local Glaswegians. Lonely Planet does warn tourists against participating in any Orange marches, which relate to the centuries-old hostility between Protestants and Catholics.
The best way to get around Glasgow is by foot. Many of the best things to do are located in the city center, and the grid layout makes it very easy to navigate. But several attractions are on the outskirts, necessitating the use of the public transportation system or a car. Black taxis are also available, and you can hail these on the streets or find them in taxi ranks (or lines) throughout the city center. If you took a plane into Glasgow International Airport (GLA), you can take a train, bus, taxi or rental car the 10 miles into the city center.Getting Around Glasgow»

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Land of Israel is a special, sacred place for those who believe in the Bible. Like the ingathering of the Jewish people into the land of Israel, the restoration of the land itself is the unfolding of prophecy.
When Israel's restoration began, the land was largely barren. Today it is fully of lush green forests lovingly planted by the Jewish National Fund. There is still much work to do. What better way to participate in the restoration of the Land of Israel than by planting a tree.
Partner with the JNF to complete the reforestation of the Promised Land.
"And when you come into the land and have planted all kinds of trees for food..."
Leviticus, 19:23
In the Jewish calendar Tu Bishvat is marked as the New Year of trees.
Tragedy struck on Mount Carmel near Haifa in December of 2010, during a particularly hot and dry winter, when a fire raged out of control and destroyed millions of trees, as well as parts of settlements, including the artists' village of Ein Hod. Israel had to call on foreign countries to assist in putting out the fire, which took four days to accomplish. It then took over a year for the land to recover sufficiently to begin replanting trees lost in the fire.
The Jewish National Fund (JNF) has supporters of Israel to thank for much of the reforestation of Israel that donations have made possible. Since 1901, the JNF has planted over 240 million trees in Eretz Israel.

Product Information
- Pony Royale Princess Ponies from Pony Royale
- We recommend this product for ages 3 and up
What It Is
Pony Royale is a new line of collectible ponies with changeable hair and fashions. There are 12 ponies in the line, each with a different jewel in its forehead meant to represent the 12 birthstones. The packaging communicates the name of the Pony Royale figure and its birthstone. The pony characters include Harmony, Dewdrop, Lily, Diamond, Sky, Rosie, Lavender, Misty, Sunburst, Brooke, Sienna, and Starfire. Each 6.5-inch pony figure can stand on its own and has a moveable head. Each pony comes with an extra mane and tail, a hair brush, and one set of fashions, including a saddle blanket, Saddlette (an embellishment piece that goes on top of the saddle blanket), crown, and bustle. To change the mane and tail, simply slide them out and slide in the new mane and tail. The hair and fashions can be mixed and matched among all 12 ponies. With just two ponies, kids can create more than 60 different looks. Each pony is sold separately.
Is It Fun?
The changeable hair and mix-and-match fashions make Pony Royale an open-ended and creative play experience. This line is a great mix of fashion play, hair play, princess play, and even some nurturing play, as kids dress up, take care of, and imagine all kinds of adventures for their Pony Royale ponies. The pony figures' realistic yet fantastical look appeals to kids, as does how easy it is to mix and match the hair pieces and fashions.

Full detailed profile on Nick Fallon Played by Blake Berris on Days of Our Lives Daytime Soap Opera.
Blake Berris (NBC)
Birthday: August 24 1984
Back at the pub, Gabi leaves Sami and runs into Nick outside. They set a breakfast date for tomorrow and Nick goes inside. He greets Caroline and tells her he's trying to be a good person. She'll be the judge of that. She goes and Nick blackmails Sami into hiring Gabi as the new face of her new "Dimensions" line.
At Club TBD, Tad eavesdrops as Nick pretends he's on a call with Gabi and comments on how she only agreed to date Tad because she felt sorry for him. Nick tells "Gabi" he'll call her back and apologizes to T for what he heard. Tad's hurt and Nick asks him not to let Gabi know what he heard. He texts Gabi that he has her notebook and offers to drop it off.
Later, back at Gabi's, Tad calls to cancel their date. He says the tickets fell through. Once they hang up, Nick acts as if he feels bad and thinks Kate may be able to get them tickets. Gabi isn't sure they should go out together because of Will and Sonny. Nick says he gets how protective they're being. He takes off and Gabi mutters that she won't lose her daughter no matter what.
Sami and Ciara wander through the Horton Square to find the ten pairs of earrings Sami promised. Ciara bargains for expensive pairs as Nick walks up. Ciara explains what's happening and Nick makes remarks about remembering Sami's earrings from the woods. Sami takes Ciara shopping and after spending a bundle on earrings they return. Abe arrives to pick up Ciara. They leave and Sami is off to see Nicole.
Nick arrives at the club after receiving Gabi's text. He hears Tad and Gabi's plans for their date and questions her. She receives Will's text and Nick hides her day planner. Tad sees Gabi out and watches as Nick fakes a call to Gabi to make it look as though she accepted Tad's date because she feels sorry for him.
Abigail sits at the Horton Square flashing to sex with EJ. Nick walks up and he talks about Gabi. He asks if Abby has ever been connected to someone with their soul. Abby stammers and admits she has. He says he has this with Gabi. Abby is doubtful. Nick gets it but would rather take the risk instead of living with regret. He leaves and she thinks about her own situation and realizes he's right.
Back at Sonny's, he and Sami try to co-ordinate wedding dates when Gabi calls with an apology and reminds him of their bond. Sonny appears happy with this and after she hangs up, Nick hopes that made Gabi feel better.
Outside the pub, Nick tells EJ he has two words for him: attempted murder. EJ informs Mr. Fallon he's not thinking very clearly. Nick chuckles. EJ asks what he wants. Nick tells him he knows about him sending his men to clean up the woods where Kate and Sami dragged him. He wants EJ to leave him alone to rebuild his life. EJ agrees - unless he becomes a threat to Samantha.
In the Brady Pub, Nick asks Gabi to join him for chowder. She agrees, but feels it's weird to sit there like nothing happened. He says he's changed. She points out that he blackmailed Kate. He justifies it - he'll make her millions. He insists he doesn't blame Sami and Kate - he understands why they hate him - yet what they did was wrong. Later, Hope and Ciara arrive. Hope assures Ciara she and Aiden won't be having playdates. Nearby, Nick says goodbye to Gabi and tells the baby her mother is beautiful.
At Gabi's, Sami tries lying to Nick about the three of them being far away from the woods the night he claims they tried to murder him. Nick plays on Gabi's insecurities. "Does she talk to you like that?" Kate orders him out. Percy flashes to saving Nick's life and Nick asking him not to call the cops. "I'll make it worth your while," Nick said. Percy hands over photos of Sami, Kate, and Gabi hurtling Nick into the river and says Nick didn't want them to wind up in prison. Kate thinks Percy and Nick knew each other previously but Percy claims that's not true. They ask what he's going to do with the photos. Nick jokes about putting them into a scrapbook. He says he saved all of Kate's texts - he was one of the friends on the call list. He wants a chance to start over. He tells Gabi he thinks of his scar as a reminder of him attacking her. The men leave and Gabi wonders if he really has changed. Sami loves her but tells her to grow up. Gabi can't be reasoned with so they ask her not to "buy into Nick's bull." Will arrives and kicks Gabi and Ari out because he wants a little alone time with Sonny. Will digs up some candles and wine and tells Sonny's picture this will be a Valentine's Day they'll never forget.

Rockefeller, Toyota mark milestone at W.Va. plant
BUFFALO, W.Va. (AP) — Sen. Jay Rockefeller is returning this week to what he considers one of the signature achievements of his nearly 50-year career, the Toyota manufacturing plant in Buffalo.
Rockefeller will join Toyota Motor Corp. chairman Shoichiro Toyoda and others in celebrating production of the 10 millionth unit on Wednesday afternoon.
In March, Toyota announced a $45 million expansion of the Buffalo plant that will create 80 jobs.
It increases the plant's annual production capacity of six-speed automatic transmissions from about 400,000 to 520,000.
The transmissions are produced by Toyota Motor Manufacturing West Virginia Inc. for the Avalon, Camry, Lexus RX350, Sienna and Venza.
The expansion will increase the plant's work force to about 1,200 employees.

Seventy-four years on, the heroism and sacrifice of these young men is the stuff of legend, romanticised and steeped in patriotism. So often portrayed with the iconic RAF moustache, the majority were probably too young to even have a moustache. Who were these men? How do they remember the Battle of Britain and what became of those who survived the years of war? What happened when they stopped being pilots, stepping out of uniform and back into civilian life?
One thing would definitely come out of the massive change that is needed, there would be a lot fewer news stories like this one. Because it is not the fact that three women got a compensation payment for injuries sustained whilst marching, it is the fact that they were treated differently to other military personnel that grabs the headlines.

Step 9: What would I improve?
Reflecting over the build there are some improvements I will do over the next few months and no doubt publish ACCC v2.0:
- Look at putting the arduino to sleep thus conserving power. I tried running it on a rechargeable battery but the code was eating power at a rate of 40mA which meant it drained rechargeables overnight. I believe I can get it down to 10mAh or less when asleep and then normal rate for the duration of opening and closing the door
- If power can be conserved I will put a small solar panel up on the roof to trickle charge the motor and arduino batteries so it can be completely off the grid
- I would like to add an LDR (Light Detection Resistor) to one of the spare analogue lines and combine the reading to fine tune the opening and closing times. I wouldn't trigger the door opening or closing on light detection alone as it could be volatile to poor weather or the garden flood light as the fox enters our garden!
- Alternatively instead of one fixed opening and closing time each month create an algorithm that takes current and next month and works out the daily increments to the times for opening and closing
- Integrate the microswitches into the pine side rails for extra protect from nosey hens
- Create a pair of flashing LEDs to show when the door is down. At the moment we are still checking by going out to the garden. It also acts as a deterrent to vermin as they don't like anything with flashing eyes
Firstly, a great instructable - I'll definately be basing my set up o it in the spring.
One suggestion That would be good is some form of timed switch to trigger an LED light in the coop that would increase the light-hours - to ensure decent egg production in the darker winter months. NOT on a battery level!!! But I've read it can be better for the chickens to have a minimum of about 11hours light a day.
I'm not an electronic/programming buff, so there's every chance it may not be possible, but would be good if it was.
I look forward to version 2. Any ideas when it will be ready?
I am currently working on version 2 which has:
- a visual indication the door has closed successfully,
- ability to turn on a low power heat lamp when the temperature drops too low
- Improved display and time setting
- those who would like to keep the lights on for a little while to keep their egg production up. Chickens normally needs10 hours of light to produce a single egg
It is likely to be a couple of months so watch this space. Further improvements for my fine feathered friends serious or funny are greatly welcomed - R-C
From that last photo, one improvement that the hens would like is to add a heated towel rail for their roost ;)
I was thinking that you could skip the arduino and go just with a photodiode and a few mosfets, but that is a good point. The fox walks near the security light, the light goes on, the door opens, and the fox gets a snack.
All around great instructable. Lots of good details..
Perhaps there is a photodiode out there that senses a wave of light that isn't emiited by the flood light but is still emitted on days with alot of overcast, maybe UVB light around 350nm. Then a temp sensor to control the heat lamp.
If I am to have hens, and Mrs. keeps saying so, then a door opener is a necessity as there is no way I am out there at 5 AM in the summer!
It would be great to see the door set times in real time format, and to adjust as you say according to light and calendar. But even without those features, it is still a very nice project!
Keep up the great work.
I would also suggest do support the British Welfare Hen Trust if you live in the UK - http://www.bhwt.org.uk/ Seeing these wretched creatures turn back to proper hens is immensely fulfilling. As one of my co-instructable comrades says 'Real Eggs Rock'

RSSOwl development will not stop, but either not continue at the current speed. I already opened RSSOwl 1.1.1 in CVS, but it will not contain new features. It is intended as maintenance release to 1.1 and should get released in some weeks.
People interested in the changes, please checkout via CVS and compile it from the sources.

People everywhere. Parties that seem to be on continuous loop all day. Vendors marketing new ideas, new startups or new swag everywhere you go. And then there's the conference with its many speakers presenting on topics ranging from anything to everything. With 30,000 people in attendance, the South By Southwest Interactive Conference can be overwhelming. So from a recent SXSW newbie to you, here are three questions to ask yourself when preparing to attend SXSW 2015.
Venture capital certainly has its place within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Some of our nation's largest companies (and employers), like Apple, Google and FedEx, have secured this form of funding. But plenty of Kauffman Foundation research tells us that VC funding isn't as mainstream in startups as one would gather based on its common place in startup news. In fact, less than 20 percent of the fastest growing young companies ever take venture capital money.
Crowdfunding lets entrepreneurs present their ideas to a large number of potential investors who can help startups reach their funding goals.
Healthcare's Grand H@ckfest, a collaboration between the Kauffman Foundation and MIT's H@cking Medicine, kicks off tonight in Boston.
"No business plan survives first contact with customers," Steve Blank says. What? Isn't the point of planning that you maximize the likelihood of success in the marketplace? Well yes, but perhaps not the kind of planning you might be thinking about. A business plan conceived on paper, powered by a great idea or invention, enhanced by research on the size of the market and a customer profile, has great potential. But it also has a crucial flaw.
Bootstrapping refers to sustaining a business through personal investment and without external help.
It was a thrill for me last summer when I had the chance to sit down with best-selling author, entrepreneur and teacher, Gifford Pinchot III. For someone like me who has been an entrepreneur and who now works at the foundation for entrepreneurs, to meet the legend who actually coined the term "intrapreneurship" was a real treat. During our visit, I had the chance to ask Gifford about the motivation that led to the publishing of his best-selling book, Intrapreneuring: Why You Don't Have to Leave the Corporation to Become an Entrepreneur, in 1985.
Baby boomers are micromanagers, work hard, do not understand technology, are stubborn and want to destroy the planet. Millennials are lazy, entitled, tech savvy, want to save the world and don't know how to communicate in person. Although the generalizations of baby boomers and millennials vary, they do share one similar characteristic, they both share particular entrepreneurial characteristics. Millennials crave freedom and earning potential. Baby boomers have a desire to build something.
Angel investors are wealthy individuals who are often former entrepreneurs.

The Weekly Blab 5.27
The Weekly Blab
Volume 5, Issue 27—April 4, 2011
Continuing a Proud Tradition…
It's a fact that when I support a sports franchise, it's almost always the kiss of death. During the last World Cup, I hoped that the United States, Mexico, and Ivory Coast would make it into the finals, and they were all eliminated pretty early. Every time I started rooting for another team they promptly lost, right down to the final when I was rooting for Holland. Last year's winning of the Premiereship and the FA Cup by Chelsea was the exception that proves the rule. This year, I'm off to my usual fate with Chelsea pretty much eliminated from the finals thanks to a tie with Stoke this Saturday, and the Boston Red Sox have opened 0-2. Stay tuned, but I know which way this is going.
Out and About
Some excellent events were held at SPSU this past week. I wish, in general, that more people—faculty, staff, and students—would show up for these, 'cause they're great. Yes, I know we're all busy, but as Woody Allen once said, "90% of life is showing up."
On Wednesday, at SPSU's first "Courageous Conversations" event, Dr. John Carter spoke about how the Washington DC Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial went from an idea someone had in their kitchen, to a project stewarded by Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, to a national fundraising effort, to reality in 21 short years (I'm only partly sarcastic here—this is a relatively quick gestation for a national memorial). Dr. Carter had a number of interesting artifacts with him—samples of the bricks that Alpha Phi Alpha sold to fund the initial project, a commemorative shovel from the groundbreaking, pictures, etc.—that were on display. His talk was centered around the theme of "breaking through the wall" that so many people have in believing that something is impossible. To me, the most interesting part was the detail Dr. Carter went into about the multitude of necessary steps to bring the project to fruition. Too often, we believe that to identify a need is the same as meeting the need. Carter's talk pounded away at the fact that it's just plain hard work, and that the people you need to help at the beginning won't pay any attention, but will often show up to take credit at the end if you're successful. The MLK Memorial will officially open on August 26, and if you visit the Alpha Phi Alpha (Martin Luther King's fraternity) website, you'll see a cool countdown clock for the event. The event drew a decent turnout of about 100 people, almost all of whom stuck around afterwards to ask questions and speak to Dr. Carter. Special thanks to Arthur Vaughn for suggesting and inviting Dr. Carter, and to Jeff Orr for handling the logistics for the event.
On Thursday, as part of SPSU's International Movie Series, Rajnish Singh introduced the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Iyer", an Indian movie about a group of people riding a bus through rural India whose trip gets interrupted by religious rioting between Hindus and Muslims. The movie is also a sort of story of forbidden love between Meenakshi, a Tamil upper-caste Hindu woman traveling with a young child, and Raja, a photographer who is Muslim who initially is just trying to help her with the child. With the exception of one scene, the movie is a call for religious and cultural understanding, and comes to a reasonably satisfying and realistic conclusion. Adding to the enjoyment of a fine movie (look on Amazon—everyone rates this at 5 stars) was the pleasure of seeing Bob Harbort channeling his inner Bernice Nuhfer-Halten, even down to a wig and nametag (photo by Rajnish). You can't find entertainment like that in Hollywood! Only about 10 people came, but we all had a good time and an interesting discussion of the film followed.
On Saturday, SPSU hosted the 2nd Annual Bathtub Races (a revival of an older tradition). The event was organized by students this year, and drew a respectable and enthusiastic turnout. While fraternities dominated the top 3 results and Residence Life and Housing won it, the Honors Program took an impressive fourth place and had some excellent T-shirts. After the races, Jill, Mark and I took a walk down the Savannah Walk (the new walkway between Building J and the Parking Deck), which is now in full bloom. It's the prettiest walk on campus, IMHO, and we thoroughly enjoyed it until the pollen made me start to itch and sneeze.
World of Chemistry (err... Physics)
In a previous BLAB, I mentioned the discovery of graphene (single layer graphite), a material that seemingly can do it all. Well, Chemistry (err…Physics) marches on, and an article just appeared in Science News about a new way to make silicene, the silicon equivalent of graphene. The idea of silicene's existence was not proposed until 2007 by Prof. Lok Lew Yan Voon of Wright State University and grad student Gian Guzman-Verri, and first prepared as nanotubes by Guy Le Lay (University of Provence, Marseilles France). Now, on March 24 at the national meeting of the American Physical Society, Antoine Fleurence (a physicist at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in Ishikawa) announced a route to preparing silicene by growing a thin layer of silicon on top of the ceramic material (you knew it had to have boron in it) zirconium diboride. Silicene has the same structure as graphene (sheets of hexagons, just like SPSU's stylesheet—we're so up to date!), and shows mega-promise as a material for electronics. Damn physicists, trying to steal everything!

Apple has reportedly started cracking down on apps offering the ability to download music from third-party services like YouTube that normally don't allow users to do so. In addition, a separate report claims that Apple has also started going after apps that incentivize users to either watch ads or share content through social media networks.
The first report comes from MacRumors, which notes the App Store has replaced results for the search query "music download" with an advertisement for iTunes Radio followed by other music services like Spotify (pictured right). At first glance it appears to be Apple simply cleaning up search on the store (I'd expect to get iTunes Radio, Spotify, etc for the search "music download"), but MacRumors also claims that "Apple has asked them to remove audio downloading functionalities from their app, perhaps to prevent potential piracy." For now the apps still live on the App Store and the change doesn't appear to have taken place in countries outside iTunes Radio availability. Results in the Canadian App Store continue to show apps for download music illegally from YouTube and other online services.
Another report has popped up claiming that Apple is also not too happy about apps that are encouraging users to watch ads or share to social networks in exchange for rewards. A report from TechCrunch detailed the change, which also appears to extend to apps promoting apps other than their own through the methods mentioned above.
It's worth noting that Apple's App Store guidelines have always had rules against promoting other apps and we've seen Apple reject apps in the past that include functionality that might compete with the App Store. There are a lot of grey areas in the App Store guidelines.
We'll have to wait and see if this is part of a broader change to the App Store in iOS 8, which also introduced app bundles, Editor's Choice picks, app video previews, and more, and if Apple is truly going to remove these third-party music downloading apps for good.

If Apple where so against Apps promoting other Apps, then maybe they should go after the Apps that make them money as well…! Like Candy Crush…!!! I have that and refuse to play it, as much as it is a good game, the constant promotion of there other apps gets on my nerves, and also promotes double standards by apple…!
Do you think apps like Apps Gone Free, that search for promotions and discounts for good apps, will be affected by the new policy?

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
1,055,516, Patented Mar. 11, 1913.
W/T/VESSES INVENTOR UNITED srarn AIENT OFFICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 11, 1913.
To all whom it may concern:
- Be it known that I, WILLIS Mason CAR- rnn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hinges, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to folding devices; and, while it may be embodied in constructions adapted for various purposes, it is more particularly applicable to hinges when used with light objects.
Objects ofthe invention are to provide a hinge which is particularly suitable for use with light folding elements; which can be easily and quickly applied to said elements; which will connect the elements in close relation; which will be inconspicuous; and which will be very simple and cheap in construction. These and other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and in part be more fully explained in the following description.
The invention consists in the novel parts, improvements, combinations and features of construction herein 'shown and described.
The accompanying drawings which are referred to herein and form a part hereof, illustrate an embodiment of the invention, the same serving in connection with the description herein to. explain the principles of the invention.
Of the drawings: Figure l is a perspective view of an advertising folder embodying my invention, showing the folder in a position suitable for exhibition purposes;
. and Figs. 2 and 3 are horizontal sections of the same, parts being broken away, showin the folding elements and the hinge in diflerent positions.
A folding device constructed in accordance with certain features of my invention includes in combination, a pair of folding elements, a hinge connecting said elements, said hinge comprising a flexible member extending through eachof said elements from an adjoining edge to an adjacent surface thereof, and means for securing said member in operative position. In one embodiment of the invention, said flexible member extends through each of said folding elements from its adjoining edge at a point near its front face to a point in its rear face, and the opposite ends of said flexible member are turned toward the adjoining edges of said elements to form securing members.
Referring now in'detail to the drawing, the invention is illustrated as embodied in a folder suitable for advertising purposes. While the folder may take various shapes and be made of a varying number of parts, as shown, it comprises a pair of folding elements or sides 1, 2, oblong in shape and of suitable dimensions.
The particular construction embodying the invention and illustrated in the drawings is intended for display purposes, as on a show case or in a, window and preferably is to present to view only the front face containing the advertising matter. This advertising matter may be of a quantityor design requiring more or diflerently disposed space than is afforded by only one of said folding elements or sides 1, 2, and it may not be desired to enlarge one of said side pieces to accommodate the said matter. It will be seen, however, that it may be very desirable to have no space between the two side pieces or elements of the folder or any pronounced line of demarcation. For example, the advertising matter may consist of the representation of a design, as of a human face, extending over the adjoining portions of the two folding elements, and the space within which the folder is to be dis played may be so confined that the folder must be folded at an angle, as illustrated, in which case, the adjoining edges of the folding elements 1, 2, must be kept in close contact, to preserve the continuity of the design, yet be foldable with relation to each other, While at the same time the folding means is outof sight or inconspicuous. By so keeping the sides of the folder at an angle, also supports for keeping the device erect may be dispensed with if desired.
The prime feature of the invention therefore, relates to the means provided for foldably connecting the said elements 1, 2; and, while the connecting means may be of various forms used in divers ways, preferably and as shown, said elements are connected by a hinge which preferably comprises a member 3, which, as shown is made of a stri of flexible material, as tin. In the embodimentof the invention illustrated this flexible member 3 extends through each folding element from its ed e adjoining its companion element to an adjacent surface,
and preferably and as shown, it extends diagonally through the element from a point in its adjoining edge near its front face to a point in its rear face, see Fig. 2. It will be seen that there is thus provided a hinge, which While sufliciently flexible, will yet give the required rigidity to the device and at the same time be not in view. In order, however, that the hinge may be held securely in place, means are provided for securing, preferably the ends of the flexible member 3 to the folding elements 1 and 2. While this may be done in various ways and with different instrumentalities, preferably and as shown, the ends, 5, 6, of the flexible member which project beyond the rear face of the device are turned inwardly in the direction of the adjoining edges of said elements. By this means although the device may be often flexed, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3, the edges of the adjoining folding elements will be kept in the desired close relation.
It will be seen that a folder constructed in accordance with my invention is at once simple, cheap, and easily constructed, and besides carrying out the objects of the invention, as heretofore alluded to, possesses other advantages which will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
In its broader aspects my IIWGIIHOII. is not limited to the precise construction shown and described, nor to any particular construction by which the same has been or may be carried into efiect, as many changes may be made in the details ther of without departing from the main principle of the invention and without sacrificing its chief advantages.
What I claim is:
A folding device including in combination, a pair of folding elements havin adjoining edges, a hinge connecting sai ele ments, said hinge comprising a flexible member extending through each of said elements from the adjoining edge to an adjacent surface thereof, and having its opposite ends extended beyond the surfaces of said elements to form securing means.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
