A checklist of important tips for designing a mobile commerce landing page, from the CEO of MobiMart.
Development of a dedicated mobile commerce web site brings with it many challenges. Developers need to take care of:
In this post, we will cover some considerations while designing and development of landing page in your mobile site.
Load time is the single most important factor which determines the success of your mobile site. Amazon found that with every 100-millisecond increase in page load time, its sales went down by 1%. Given the short attention span of the user, it's hard to keep him engaged if the load time is more than 4-5 seconds. Our experience with powering mobile sites for some of the top e-commerce sites in India has given us a unique perspective into the best practices for a mobile commerce landing page. Here are some of our learnings.
While every merchant wants to provide the best of feature capabilities on the landing page, it is recommended to start with basic capabilities like Category navigation (ideally text-based), Search, Cart, Account Activity. An ideal landing page should not be more than 100 kilobytes in size with a maximum of 100-200KB of images.
Designers, marketers and engineering teams need to work closely to minimize the number of elements on landing page to help improve page load as well optimize it for end user experience.
Internet Retailer has published a report on how large U.S. retailers measure up on their Mobile site performance.
The average being 6.95 seconds,you can see how Walmart, Sears and other fare here.
MartMobi is a mobile commerce technology provider.
Intelligent application of responsive design techniques can significantly improve mobile site performance.

"Those cars" deliver a strong message for retailers.

Redemption rates vary widely, but can be high when consumers request a mobile coupon.

If there's something you've bought offline that you weren't able to buy online, we're probably thinking about that."

I HATE THIS MOVIE!!! Go ahead, kill me if you want to but it's my least favorite animated film. At least it was released with an Animaniacs short. I didn't see it in theaters so I missed that.

I remember seeing this movie when I was really small, but not as small as the heroine, just... small, like when I was 3 or 4 at least.
This movie is semi-forgettable, and no matter how hard I try, I CANNOT FORGET IT!!! Or at least the colors and Thumbelina herself. Her voice is kind of annoying at times, and the funny part is that it's done by the same person that did Little Mermaid Ariel's beautiful voice.

The singing and music was amazing foxkidsfan. Loved this movie lol

I wouldn\'t say it was don bluth\'s best film, the songs were not as memorable as An American Tail (1986) or All Dogs Go To Heaven (1989). Also Don Bluth\'s luck at that time was a bit low, up until the critically acclaimed Anastasia (1997), this film used to be distributed by Warner Bros Family Entertainment, until fox got the rights. Then again Marry the Mole I think is the worst song ever written.

Good movie, but the plot sounds like it\'s out of a bad self-insert story. Everyone wants to marry Thumbelina, she is forced to work at a... night club? O_o;

I still have this on tape.
When I was seven I was Thumbelina for Halloween. I remember I had this weird crown type thing on the top of my head. I watched this again a few months ago with my cousin and it\'s an adorable movie.

I honestly dont know what to do
19 year old...just found out im pregnant..scared
i was 17 when I got pregnant with my son. he is now a beautiful 10 year old. I do not regret a minute and I love him with all my heart. I am still married to his father and have 2 other children. We are still madly in love and have been together going on 15 years married for 10.
Are you with the father?

I'm the baby ... or at least I was. It's tough for the baby too, but I'm glad that they tried to make it work & keep me :)
2young4this2be: Yeah I am gonna be that person... You know the one that preachs at ya...
But God will always provide for you, he never will leave you in a situation that you can absolutely NOT handle. Trust in him and his plan! Keep faith! A child is always a blessing! I wish you the best of luck and I will be keeping you in my t&p!!

RAINBOW Baby due 9/4/2014!
I was 19, just shy of 20, when I was pregnant with my first. He is 10.5 now. It really is your choice on what you do. Of course, I am pro-life, so I assume you will keep your pregnancy. You did not say a whole lot about yourself or your situation so not a lot of advice can be given.
I hope all works out for you.
I had just turned 20 when I had my first son. I would not change it for the world. Having a child changes your life completely. You get a whole new perspective on things. You just have a different appreciation for things. It is the best feeling in the world. I wish you the best. I don't know your situation or if you are with the father or not. When I had my ODS, the father and I did not stay together. We were going to get married, but it was for all the wrong reasons and I knew he was not the one I was supposed to be with....he was (and still is) very immature and is into alot of bad shit. I called our wedding off a week before (I was 2 months pregnant at that time). I realized I was only getting married because it was what my parents wanted. Anyways, everything has turned out perfect. I actually enjoyed being a single mommy. But I am happily married now and we have a 1 year old together and hopefully we conceived again this month. Anyways, good luck to you. You will be fine!!!
I was 17 when I got pregnant with my oldest daughter, 18 when I had her. She is now turning 10 years old in August. She is the best thing that happened to me, we struggled and we still struggle at times but I wouldn't change it for the world. I got pregnant with her sister when I was 19, had her when I was 20, I was married to the father though of both of my girls and we are now trying to conceive our third child, our youngest two will be over 8 years apart but we are more ready emotionally and financially now then we were when we had our two back in our teens/early 20's. If you are determined to make it work things will fall in to place. It will not be easy and you will struggle, but I wish you the best of luck and you can make it and that child will love you no matter what happens.

Grief encompasses a broad range of feelings and behaviors that are common after a loss. Sadness is the most common feeling . It is common and expected to experience sadness if you have lost someone you love. One of the most important factors in healing is having support. Even if you are not normally comfortable talking about your feelings under normal circumstance, it is important to have some place where you can express them when your grieving. We can help you gain an understanding of your feelings and provide you coping strategies for dealing with the loss.
Grief & Loss
For those who grieve, I offer support and encouragement for healing from their loss. Working through shock, numbness, denial, and disbelief is common to the grieving process, as well as emotions such as anger, guilt, and depression that may emerge. I support my clients in working through their grief, which helps them avoid physical or psychological symptoms. Readjustment and transformation develop gradually, as a new life emerges.
Broken relationships can often leave us struggling with a sense of grief and loss. Well Marriage Center specializes in working with emotional distress associated with relationships. We offer a safe and gentle space to process emotions, pain, struggle, and loss. We offer our 100+ years of experience working with individuals and couples to move through their grief and regain a sense of the fullness of life.
Grief and loss comes in many different packages: losing an elderly parent, a dear friend, and worst of all, a child. Another extreme form of grief and loss although not as readily identified in this category is the loss an adopted child suffers when being relinquished by his/her biological family. I have worked with many adopted children and adolescents who often struggle with depression and anxiety without even realizing that they are experiencing grief and loss. Often just labeling the grief begins the journey to healing. Others simply need permission to grieve. My office is a safe place where those who need to grieve are permitted to do so and find they then begin to heal.
Grief and loss is a normal process of major changes in our lives. Connecting with the loss is an important aspect of the process as well as finding what growth can be achieved through it. Sometimes it doesn't seem fair to be experiencing the loss or that God doesn't care. These are very real and normal feelings-and then growth happens. Growth that takes us to a deeper understanding of God's love for us.
As humans, we all encounter loss in our lives--loss of cherished loved ones as well as the loss that comes from difficult and painful experiences. Our bodies set in motion a process of grieving for those we have lost. We also need sometimes need to grieve what might have been, but wasn't. I see grieving as an organic process that encompasses our body and soul. Complicated grief occurs when our body or mind fights the grieving process--hoping to avoid what feels like unendurable pain. Support, attunement and empathy in the context of a safe relationship enables one to grieve and gain peace. GRIEVING MAKES ROOM FOR NEW EXPERIENCES.
Grief is the emotional suffering we feel after a loss of some kind. Whether it's the death of a loved one, the loss of a limb, or unexpected change to the world around us, at some point each of us experiences grief. Although the emotions that follow such a loss can seem unbearable, grief is actually a healing process. Together, I wish to accompany you on your journey towards healing.
Loss is a very real experience in every life. You may be facing the loss of a job, a financial downturn, the break-up of a relationship, an illness or even the death of a loved one. In therapy, I can help you through this loss and share in your grieving process. I believe that learning to grieve well our losses is an essential part of life and growth. Grieving in the presence of a caring person can be very healing.
Experiencing loss is part of every life and learning to grieve our losses effectively is a necessary pathway to growth. Whether it is the death of a loved one, sickness, aging, financial setback or simply the loss of a dream, no one is untouched by the pain of life turning out differently than expected. My approach in therapy is to provide a safe and compassionate place for you to journey through the stages of grief resulting in new hope for the future.
I believe that accepting our losses and learning to grieve well is a powerful tool for emotional and spiritual growth.
The death of a loved one can be extremely painful. For some, loss and grief can become prolonged and severe and can negatively impact functioning. Our team of highly trained and experienced psychiatrists and therapists are here to assist you during your loss. Your doctor or therapist at APS will work closely with you to tailor your treatment to your needs. There are times when counseling alone can be sufficient for reducing symptoms and for getting you back to a healthy place. At other times, medication may be needed in conjunction with therapy. APS is comprised of a multidisciplinary team of specialists who can also work closely together to coordinator your care in your time of need.
The death of a loved one is arguably the most traumatic experience any of us can face. The goals of Herndon VA grief counseling are recovery and acceptance. Herndon, VA trauma counseling seeks to help an individual process, debrief, and cope with an extreme stress. Recovery from loss through grief counseling Herndon, VA does not mean that all of the pain, memories or significance of a loved one are resolved, but that one is able to accept what has happened, and that those experiences and memories are an important part of life, but not all consuming. When you see a Herndon VA trauma therapist or Herndon VA grief counselor, you will find a listening ear. There are several stages of grieving, and compassionate therapy in Herndon VA can be a strong shoulder that will facilitate healing. Herndon VA grief therapy and counseling in Virginia can help one move through the shock, trauma, and acute suffering, so that you are not destroyed by what has happened. Most likely, there are still loved ones in your life who need you, and if you are grieving, you may utterly lack any emotional energy at all to deal with them. Herndon VA grief counseling can help stabilize you.
If you have experienced the pain and trauma of loss, grief counseling Herndon VA with a licensed therapist can help you move through. A Virginia grief and loss counselor has training and experience in helping people who have suffered loss to find strength, to cope, and move through the trauma. Herndon grief counseling can be an important tool to help you through this difficult time. And while nothing anyone can say can completely heal the pain, you can still find strength to cope and to find hope in the darkness. Therapy is a very important part of moving through grief. Please contact a Herndon, VA grief therapist below today.
Our purpose is to help people everywhere find great counselors and psychologists. Everyone can have a new start in life.

CMI to Bring Tezuka IP to North America
TOKYO and SAN FRANCISCO -- International production and creative management company Cross Media International (CMI), headquartered in San Francisco, California, has entered into an agreement with Tezuka Productions of Japan to develop distribution opportunities for Tezuka's extensive portfolio of popular properties and characters within North America.
Known as Japan's "godfather of anime," Osamu Tezuka has created manga and animation characters, including the iconic hero "Astro Boy," that have been known and loved by multiple generations in Japan and millions of fans all over the world. His works span the entire manga and anime spectrum, ranging from children-oriented and science fiction productions to serious drama, semi-documentary, and horror-themed properties.
Tezuka Productions General Manager Yoshihiro Shimizu said, "We are very happy to be working with another strong partner to help bring Tezuka content to North America. We believe that CMI's extensive experience both in creative production as well as originating and closing deals will be a great benefit to Tezuka Productions as we seek to fulfill our mission of sending out Tezuka's works to the world. We're very much looking forward to working with CMI."
CMI Founder and Executive Producer, Christoper Frey, added, "CMI is thrilled to be able to work with the great team at Tezuka Productions to bring renewed visibility and increased exposure to their many well-known properties within the North American market."

RUSE might be my favorite RTS of the past several years, and one reason for that is because developer Eugen Systems seemed to design it with wargamers in mind. It could be frantic, but it also felt a bit like what would happen if you turned Panzer General into an RTS.
So it's fitting that their next game is explicitly called Wargame: European Escalation , and I got in touch with Eugen CEO Alexis Le Dressay to learn just how this would differ from RUSE. It turns out that Wargame will be very different, throwing out Ruse's deception mechanics as well as a lot of RTS conventions. The result could be an even more interesting real-time wargame set in the late Cold War.
PCG: First, I absolutely loved RUSE and thought it was one of the best games of 2010. Unlike RUSE, however, Wargame is not being developed for consoles. How did console development affect your design for RUSE? How does Wargame benefit from the focus on PC?
Eugen Systems CEO Alexis Le Dressay: I'm very happy and very proud that you liked RUSE! The main difference between PC and the rest of the consoles is that PC is an open platform. Thanks to this, we can provide more online features and services. We can also be much more reactive post launch of the game and provide patches and upgrades for the community.
Now, RUSE was published by Ubisoft, but this time you are working with Focus Home Interactive? Why the shift?
AD: Wargame is a real-time strategy game for gamers and hardcore gamers. This kind of game fits better with a medium-sized publisher.
How does the Cold War setting change gameplay from what we saw in RUSE? The technologies are completely different, but does that impact tactics?
AD: The difference is pretty big. Wargame's period covers the years from 1975 to 1985. This period features helicopters, auto-cannon, ATGM (anti-tank guided missiles), electronic optical systems and a lot more new equipment. This means that the players will have to master new tactics.
For example, an ATGM can be wire guided. This means that the unit who fires it has to stand still to keep control of the missile and to have some chances to hit the target... But an ATGM can also be laser guided. In this case, the target tracking is manual but the tracking and control of the missile is automatic. This allows the unit to fire-and-forget!
Did deceptions work as well as you hoped in Ruse? How will ruses / deceptions work in Wargame, and are there any new ones you can tell us about?
AD: I think the deceptions worked well in RUSE. But, we should have done more of them and made them more deeply imbricated in the gameplay.
Even though Wargame doesn't feature any deception tools, it has some a very strong information and spotting mechanics. The use of recon units is as vital as it was the case in RUSE. We have some similitude in the way the player will have to think of the where is the enemy hiding, what is his main plan...
One thing I loved about RUSE is that it had so many different factions, and they all played so differently. Hardly anyone ever includes the French and Italians in WWII game, for example, but in RUSE they were two really interesting armies. What kind of differences are you emphasizing between NATO and Warsaw Pact armies? How different can Warsaw Pact armies really be from one another, since they were so heavily controlled by the Soviets?
AD: I'm very glad you appreciate the idea of having a great choice of units and factions! With Wargame, we have gone much farther in this direction. We feature more than 350 different units in the game! Albeit there are only two factions, there are several countries involved: USA, France, West-Germany, East-Germany, UK, Russia, Poland and Czechoslovakia.
The main difference lies in the fact that the composition of the army is directly made by the players. There is no more pre-created army, which means no more factions. From theses 150 units available (there is approximately the same number of equipment around 150 units for each side) you have to pick up the ones you want to play with. This is what we call the "deck". It has a limitation of units and the players have to unlock the different units.
On your website, I noticed a lot of discussion of supplies and experience. Now, supply points were simply the money you used for building in RUSE. How does it work here? Is the economy different in Wargame?
AD: In RUSE we named supply points the money of the game. The supply in Wargame is not money, but real supply. This means that units consume fuel, ammunition and so on.
The economy system is different in Wargame than in Ruse. In Wargame you start the game with an amount of Deployment Points that are granted by your HQ. You use these points to call for reinforcement during the battle or to place units on the battlefield during the deployment phase. Also, you can gain more Deployment Points during the battle by controlling strategic sectors.
Also, you say that units level up across the campaign? Will units also gain experience within multiplayer battles? For instance, if I have an armored unit that keeps surviving combat during a match, will it be a better armored unit by the end of the match?
AD: This is true for the campaign but it is different within the multiplayer battles. The persistent element that one can find in multiplayer is the creation of the decks. As I've said before, the players will have to unlock all the units. This means that you'll never know what kind of enemy equipment you'll face...
Matchmaking and multiplayer features were not a strong point for RUSE. It was hard to get a sense of the community and how many people were participating. I found it very hard to find opponents for the kinds of games I wanted to play, particularly at middle skill-levels. How will you improve multiplayer for Wargame? What kind of features will Eugen Net offer to people who like to study statistics, replays, or participate in tournaments?
AD: We're developing a much more powerful network engine for Wargame. We've also added more multiplayer services. For example, players can create a team and play against ranked teams. We have a replay system, a very detailed almanac for all the units featured in the game. As I've said, thanks to the PC platform we use for the game, we'll have the availability to create regular tournaments, patches and other updates on the game.

WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. – Crittenden County soybean farmers are putting their money where their mouth is, so to speak, spending several cents per gallon to burn a biodiesel blend containing soy oil in their tractors.
And they're also working with local school districts and municipalities to encourage them to use biodiesel in their diesel-powered vehicles to improve fuel efficiency and air quality for school children and other local residents.
The effort is getting a push from officials in West Memphis and Marion, the two largest cities in Crittenden County, which, along with other cities and counties in the Memphis, Tenn., Metropolitan Statistical Area, recently were found to be in non-compliance with the Federal Clean Air Act.
"Currently, 90 percent to 95 percent of Crittenden County farmers are using a 2 percent to 5 percent biodiesel blend," said Boyce Johnson, a soybean farmer and Crittenden County Farm Bureau president. "With 2.2 million gallons of fuel used since March, we estimate we've replaced 55,000 gallons of diesel with biodiesel.
"That's the equivalent of 37,000 bushels of soybeans, which may not seem like much, but if everyone will get on board and do a little bit, we believe all of us can eventually make a difference in these issues we face."
Johnson was speaking at an air quality meeting at the Mid-South Community College campus in West Memphis. The meeting was attended by area farmers and representatives of school districts, city and county governments and the Memphis Area Transit Authority, which runs a fleet of 225 diesel-powered buses.
An emissions specialist with the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality and a contractor with the Arkansas Energy Office also participated.
Each 1 percent increase in the amount of biodiesel in a blend with petroleum-based diesel fuel adds about a cent per gallon to the cost of the fuel, according to Johnson. So farmers who used 2 percent biodiesel or B2 paid 2 cents more per gallon and those who bought a 5 percent blend 5 cents more.
"Several of our farmers would like to use a 20 percent blend or B20 biodiesel," said Johnson, "but that additional 20 cents a gallon makes it difficult. If we can get Congress to pass the energy bill, the anticipated tax credits should make it more economical to burn B20."
Biodiesel users may already enjoy some savings that aren't readily apparent, according to Maureen Rose, a contractor with the Arkansas Energy Office in the state's Department of Economic Development. Rose coordinates the Adopt-a-School-Bus Biodiesel Program in Arkansas.
"One of the school districts in our pilot program reported they received up to 20 percent higher miles per gallon, especially on their older buses without fuel injection," she said. "That's not based on a scientific study, but it's an interesting finding."
Members of the audience said they've been seeing similar savings in their operations, primarily because of the increased engine "lubricity," or slipperiness of the biodiesel blend.
"B2 is actually a great fuel additive," said Gordon Petty with Ritter Oil Co., an East Arkansas fuel distributor that is providing biodiesel to farmers and school bus and government operations in Crittenden County. "You really don't need to add anything to the fuel to make it run better."
Biodiesel does have a solvent effect that may release deposits accumulated on tank walls and pipes from previous diesel fuel storage. The release of deposits may clog filters initially, a problem that surfaced in the Adopt-a-School-Bus pilot program in central Arkansas.
"Some of the school districts did report that fuel filters needed changing more frequently, but they are exploring other fuel filter options," said the state Energy Office's Rose.
Other than the fuel filter problem, the school districts have not had to make any adjustments to the school bus engines to allow them to run on diesel. Finding biodiesel supplies in central Arkansas has been a problem at time.
Under the Adopt-a-School-Bus program, the Arkansas Energy Office provides matching funds from a U.S. Department of Energy grant to offset the added expense of purchasing biodiesel. Having participating school districts find sponsors for their half of the funds allows the state to spread its grant money over more districts.
Besides improving fuel efficiency, biodiesel could help reduce toxic contaminants found in the exhaust from burning petrol-diesel fuels. EPA has identified more than 40 chemicals in diesel exhaust that it considers toxic air contaminants.
"A child riding a school bus is exposed to as much as 46 times the cancer risk considered 'significant' by EPA," said Rose. "Children are more susceptible to air emissions because they breath more rapidly and because of their smaller body size."
Biodiesel can also reduce carbon monoxide and ozone-forming hydrocarbon emissions, two of the major contributors to the air quality problems currently being experienced in the eight counties in Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee that make up the Memphis Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Crittenden County was in compliance with the federal government's Clean Air Act standards until 1997 when EPA lowered the minimum ozone guidelines from 120 parts per billion to 84 parts per billion.
"When EPA made those changes, it brought a lot of people into non-compliance," said Eddie Brawley, Metropolitan Planning Organization chairman in Crittenden County. "In 2002, EPA ruled that if you were close to the minimum, you could enter into an early action compact that would give you until 2007 to get into compliance.
"But a new study showed that with all the improvements governments could do locally the minimum for this area would only drop to 86 parts per billion, and we would still be 2 points over the minimum. On April 15, EPA declared Crittenden and Shelby Counties in non-attainment status."
Crittenden County, which gets most of its air contaminants from Memphis and Shelby County to the south and southeast, has been taking steps to reduce its own emissions by requiring vapor recovery systems on gasoline delivery trucks, limiting idling at truck stops by installing electrical outlets to provide heat and air conditioning into truck cabs and reducing volatile organic compounds by switching to alternative fuels.
"Using biodiesel is definitely one of the things we can do to help our situation," said Brawley. "We have petitioned EPA to change our status to marginal, which would give us some relief."
Johnson said he was proud of the action taken by farmers to help Crittenden County begin to improve its air quality.
"You take the reduction that we've seen in this county alone – in five months, farmers have displaced 55,000 gallons of diesel fuel with soybean oil," he noted. "That's not huge, but we're talking one county and five months.
"We have 75 counties here in Arkansas, and we have counties in Tennessee and Mississippi. If everyone will get on board and do a little bit, we believe it will all add up. And what you're displacing in time will reduce our dependence on crude oil imports."

I have a question about the recipe "Chicken , Sausage and Red Pepper Paella " from thirschfeld. Can I make this paella stove-top with a Le Cruset, or do I definitely need a stove?
From Our Friends
powered by ZergNet
pierino is a trusted source on General Cooking and Tough Love.
For paella you really need a wide, shallow pan. I'm not sure that Le Creuset even makes one. Traditionally paella is cooked outside. But it's acceptable to cook on a cook top or in the oven as long as you follow the basic rules.

not that great. you could have tried to make your own effects rather than just make text and draw kenny really weird.
second of all, do you have ANY idea how hard it is to edit these stupid smash pictures? going with premade special effects is way better than making crappy ones that look like kenny's diarreahing instead of setting a fart on fire. im not trying to be mean or anything, but im just keeping the limitations in mind. its not supposed to be accurate, its supossed to be funny.

I have tried so many Natural deodorants it's not funny anymore, but none of them worked & I always had to go back to the kind that has chemicals in it, until I got this one. People even ask what Fragrance I am wearing, I haven't told them it's my deoderant. I have already bought two more.
Great deodorant

Tried this today and it feels great, moisturizing but dry too. Lately my armpits have been getting itchy from antiperspirant - no itch today! Today, I cleaned out my car in 90 degree, humid weather, and my armpits are barely moist and I can still smell some of the light scent. It smells really nice, not way too perfumey, but a natural soft scent. I asked my husband to smell it and he even liked it but said it was a slightly feminine scent. I think it is a gender-neutral scent myself. I love it!
Beautiful Scent!

As soon as I opened it - I loved it. Aroma is amazing. Very relaxing. Smells like Peony or maybe Tea Rose. Dries fast. No bad ingredients, which is the main reason I bought it. No toxins. You will smell fresh all day. Wearing it is a treat. Just luxurious!
Works well and smells good!

I think it keeps me both dry and odourless (but I don't transpiration very much). The smell is quite strong but fresh, a kind of natural fresh feminine floral smell. The consistency of the stick is a bit hard – I've used Terra Naturals deodorant sticks before and they are softer on application.
Peace of mind...

I love knowing that this deodorant doesn't contain any propylene glycol, alcohol and aluminum. The scent took me some getting used to, but that's just based on personal opinion. I'm fine with it now. My sister says it smells like Magnolia :) It's a little more pricey than other deodorants, but it's worth it since they don't use harmful ingredients. It doesn't prevent sweating 100%, (especially if you live in places that have high humidity, as I do) but perspiration is a natural body process and shouldn't be altogether stopped. However, body odor isn't noticeable, because of the fragrance (and rice hull powder, i think). :)

Move over, Vine
It's been rumored for several days now that Facebook would inject video recording and sharing capabilities into its Instagram service, and lo and behold, that's exactly what the social networking site has done. Dubbed Video on Instagram, you can now record clips up to 15 seconds in length simply by tapping the movie camera icon. There are also 13 new filters added specifically for this new functionality.
"We're excited to see what the community will bring to video, whether it's your local cafe showing you just how they made your latte art this morning or an Instagrammer on the other side of the world taking you on a tour of their city, a mother sharing her joys in parenting as her children laugh and play or your favorite athlete taking you behind the scenes," Instagram announced in a blog post .
Don't worry if all you're interested in is shooting photos, you can still do that. Furthermore, Instagram reiterated that you, the user, has full control over all of your content. The only people that can see your videos are the ones you've allowed to see your photos.

Wong is such a fine, subtle actor that it comes as a surprise to find him a superb martial artist as well, as he convincingly demonstrates the superiority of Ip Man's technique over competing schools.
The filmmakers fall over themselves trying to respect Man's outlook on life, and this makes their subject seem more like a hyper-disciplined saint than a world-reknowned, ass-kicking hermit.
As a character study, Ip Man: The Final Fight would be more convincing if it didn't look so distractingly like a Hollywood musical.

Every year around this time, Starbucks release their special "Casi Cielo" coffee. I was introduced to this about a year ago and I have to admit, I'm hooked. Despite my otherwise mild disdain for the Starbucks franchise, this is one of the few thing they do exceptionally well. Quite literally, "Casi Cielo" translates to "almost heaven"… as it does seem to leave an exquisitely sophisticated yet vanishing "clean" finish on your palette that inspires you to ponder about the celestial skies. Okay, enough marketing mumbo jumbo. I'm by no means a coffee connoisseur, so check out this guy's review (warning: he's quite animated!). Otherwise, my own take on it is that it's a medium body coffee. There's definitely a strong flavor to it, kinda nutty, kinda earthy, a tiny bit of chocolate flavor… however, it is exceptionally smooth (very "clean" finish). There's almost no lingering acidity or bad aftertaste that you may find with other coffees (as tasted from a drip brew; a brew from a more finer ground with a french press may yield a different result). It is claimed to be an excellent post-meal coffee that would perfectly complement desserts, and although it's been my morning brew recently, I can wholeheartedly concur with that pairing suggestion as well. At $12.95 per pound it's a bit more than the standard fair but quite worth it. Since it's seasonal, quite a number of coffee fans stock up on it.

St. Cloud State drops 26 layoff notices on profs in single day
It's been a rough past week for a couple dozen faculty members at St. Cloud State University. In order to balance a stiff budget and meet union deadlines, the college sent out 26 layoff notices on the same day late last week to some unfortunate non-tenured staffers.
The layoffs are part of the state college's efforts to dig itself out of $13 million hole, according to the St. Cloud Times. Through the layoffs and retirement, the school plans to shed between 80-90 positions by the start of the upcoming school year.
Though the notices went out all at once, how to deal with a bad budget forecast has been a topic of discussion for much longer, says St. Cloud State spokesman Michael King.
"It's been discussed," says King. "I don't think anyone's comfortable when we're talking about losing these positions, but I think everyone has understood where we stand in terms of the budget and finances."
School administrators hope they'll be able to take back some of the layoff notices. Union rules state that the college has to give the bad news by Aug. 1 (this Sunday), which is why the notices couldn't be spread thinner. The school can still annul the notices, though, if it ends up squeezing more faculty out through retirement.
The layoffs come from six different colleges within St. Cloud State: College of Education, College of Business, Science and Engineering, Fine Arts and Humanities ,Social Sciences and Learning Resources & Technology Services.
Here's a letter from St. Cloud State President Earl H. Potter III sent out Wednesday to staff and students in attempt to lighten the blow:
To the campus community:
As we have gone about our budget planning process for FY '12 which starts July 1, 2011, we informed the campus community that we will use remedies at our disposal to try to minimize the impact of potential retrenchment, including attrition and the Board Early Separation Incentives (BESI). Yet, we continue to face a possible $13.7 million budget reduction based on the best information available now which indicates the state's deficit could range between $5 and $6 billion.
Know that this budget planning, Strategic Program Appraisal and reorganization, while certainly necessary for the University, is made more challenging by our funding issues. We were disappointed late last week to distribute letters to 26 probationary faculty members telling them that their appointments will end next academic year. According to contract, notification had to be made by August 1. We thank these valued faculty members for their service. Our budget situation made this action necessary.
Initially, at Meet and Confer on July 22, we shared with the IFO a list of 29 positions that would be eliminated. Upon further review, the final list will reflect 26 probationary faculty members receiving notices. The IFO has been informed accordingly.
Notices to probationary faculty, based on last spring's Strategic Program Appraisal, will save slightly more than $2 million and include faculty members in some of the 26 programs targeted for elimination. Others are in departments which may have some capacity based on current and future enrollments. The decisions also were made using the criteria of centrality to mission and alignment to strategic priorities; student demand; reduction in number of departments offering similar programs with substantial disciplinary overlap consistent with recommendations regarding consolidation and reorganization; program connectedness and impact on other programs and excess capacity and current cost structure comparisons.
Additional retrenchment notices for tenured faculty may be required after ending fixed-term, probationary and departures due to attrition and BESI, to reach a goal of eliminating a total of 80-90 faculty lines. Notices will come later based on timelines spelled out in the contracts. Other layoff notices will be made consistent with the requirements of the various bargaining units this fall and upcoming spring.
In the next phase as we work to resolve our budgetary constraints, we will notify eligible faculty members in specific units who qualify for the Board Early Separation Incentives (BESI) and who have the opportunity to request consideration.
As we continue our budget planning, there remains considerable uncertainty. The retrenchment decisions and now the BESI offering are made with the best possible information at this time and are made to ensure the University's flexibility in meeting its financial obligations for FY '12.
As we approach a new school year, we seek your assistance as we work through the sometimes daunting financial picture we face. I want to thank all those who have been involved in the hard work done over the summer to prepare ideas for discussion when faculty and students return for the fall semester. And, thank you to each of you for your continued dedication to the enterprise that provides an outstanding education for our students.

I immediately knew that I could trust her when she said she would keep my identity confidential. I work in a high-profile industry and it's easy to get caught in a camera lens. Sioux Falls was the perfect place to heal and Rebecca was the right person to take that journey with me. My confidence is so strong now. I feel calm and at ease like never before. My motivation is strong, my direction is clear, and my career is on the fast track. Thank you, Rebecca!

genocide: 1/3 of 3
Explaining Burma's missing 9 million people - evaporation, or genocide?
Guy Horton
20th November 2014The best way to deal with embarrassing, inconvenient facts is to ignore them, writes Guy Horton. And this is precisely what the international community is doing over Burma's demographic anomaly - 9 million people who ought to be there, but aren't. Their absence is prima facie evidence of genocide - but as we all celebrate the 'brave new Burma', no one wants to know. more...

Similar to a moustache, but instead of being on a mans upper lip a 'butt-stache' is the patch of hair found just above a mans butt crack.

Hey, I'm Marie!
Hello, I'm Marie and I'm 29.
I've lived in Paris for more than 10 years now, and I work as a strategic planner in a communication agency, and also do some creative work on the side, as an artistic director and set designer.
I'm sensitive to design and modern architecture, that's why I like big cities, and stay in beautiful apartments when I travel.
When discovering foreign countries, I like letting myself go where my curiosity takes me, discovering fun & unexpected places while walking, falling on an art gallery at street corners or a street art wall, spending the evening in a nice bar with the locals. And do some shopping obviously :)
I run away as much as I can from all the touristic stuff.
I'm always curious to meet new people, even more if they come from other countries.
When I leave Paris, I also rent my apartment that I share with my boyfriend Loïc, who's a copywriter in advertising.

"Tonight is a very special occasion for me since it will be my last speech after five years as a European Commissioner. Therefore I will not give you a lecture on the single market and financial services. I want to make it more personal by telling you about the three main lessons I have learnt from those 5 exciting years in the European Commission". Speech by Commissioner Barnier at the Bocconi University, Milan.
As of 1 November, four new Commissioners inherit the portfolio of Michel Barnier: Jonathan Hill, Elżbieta Bieńkowska, Věra Jourová, and Günther Oettinger. Commissioner Hill will be in charge of Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union, whereas Commissioner Bieńkowska will take responsibility for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs. Other policies (Copyright and Online services) have been incorporated into the portfolio of Günther Oettinger, the Commissioner in charge of Digital Economy and Society, and Corporate governance has been entrusted to Věra Jourová, Commissioner for Justice, Consumer and Gender Equality. We invite you to browse the sites of the new Commissioners:
The European Commission has adopted its first 'equivalence' decisions for the regulatory regimes of central counterparties (CCPs) in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore.
Today the Commission adopted a report containing a general assessment of the economic consequences of country-by-country reporting by banks and investment firms under Article 89 of the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD IV).
On 8 August, the European Commission made public a letter sent to the CEOs of six international car rental companies, asking them to end practices preventing consumers from accessing best available prices on the basis of their country of residence.
The European Commission welcomes the results of the EU-wide stress test by the European Banking Authority and the comprehensive assessment by the European Central Bank.
The European Commission has today adopted a delegated act and a draft proposal for a Council implementing act to calculate the contributions of banks to the national resolution funds and to the Single Resolution Fund respectively.

The White Sox doubled their showing on MLB.com's Top 100 prospect rankings.
2012 first-round draft pick Courtney Hawkins was the team's lone representative on the midseason Top 100 last summer at No. 67, but fell off the MLB.com rankings released Thursday.
In his stead, right-hander Erik Johnson (70th) and third baseman Matt Davidson (80th) cracked the list.
[RELATED: Erik Johnson eyes a 25-man roster spot with White Sox]
Davidson was ranked 64th by MLB.com last summer.
Hawkins hit 19 homers and stole 10 bases in 2013, but carried just a .178 average at Advanced Class-A Winston-Salem and struck out 160 times in just 383 at-bats.
With the Diamondbacks' Triple-A affiliate last season, Davidson hit 17 homers and 32 doubles with 74 RBI before being called up to the big leagues for the final month of the season.
[RELATED: Watch new White Sox 3B Matt Davidson demolish a baseball]
Johnson went 12-3 with a 1.96 ERA in 24 starts for Double-A and Triple-A and started five games in the majors late in the year, going 3-2 with a 3.25 ERA. The 24-year-old righty is in competition for the White Sox Opening Day rotation.

Adorable, built to last longer

This is a great bed for the dog's comfort, and the outside can easily be washed. The inside cannot be washed, so after months, it will still need to be discarded. Great bed for the price I paid.
Pros: easily washable cover
Cons: with most beds, after months the inside starts to smell....

Ugh! Okay, I'm pregnant with baby number 3 15w 2d and I am having the HARDEST time quitting smoking! I have cut down to 3-5 cigarettes a day and do okay with that. However, as soon as I run out of cigarettes I am completely panicked and it's all I can think about! I have tried suckers, making a list of the reasons why I want to quit and I have great support from my daughters and boyfriend to quit! My co-workers give me grief about still smoking and honestly I feel so ashamed and like I'm being a bad mom! I just can't seem to let go of the cigarettes! I was able to quit very early with both of my girls but they are 5 and 9 and it seems I wasn't as heavy a smoker then as I was when I got pregnant with this baby. We were told that we are having a boy and everything about this pregnancy seems to be different, including cravings and I swear I CRAVE cigarettes! PLEASE HELP!! I need suggestions, anyone have opinions on using an e-cig to quit? I'm not sure if it would help or even be less harmful to the baby.
STILL Smoking!
News flash: We put your body in toxic environments daily. The food you eat may be over-processed or filled with preservatives. Obviously smoking cigarettes isn't the best thing but the stress alone of quitting is harmful to the fetus as well. Unfortunitely we don't have control of what happens in our wombs. You can eat the highest quality foods, never leave your sanitized saftey bubble, quit drinking years before conception, never cuss, never think bad thoughts, never use nail polish remover or bleach and STILL, unfortunatly have something horrible happen.
It's your body and your babies body; it's your risk to take.
I kind of ranted but this hits home for me.
I had a really hard time with my first pregnancy - Honestly, the only thing that worked for me was telling everyone (including my husband) that I had quit, and I basically didn't want to get "caught". I would still sneak the occassional one, but it really made me quit - Try to not spend time alone - That is when it was hardest for me. Keep at it - it is one of teh hardest things that I have ever done. Also, do not let yourself start again after you have the baby! I wanted to really badly, but stuck to it, and it has finally gone away! I am at 2 years without now!
I guess I'm lucky because the thought of smoking while pregnant makes me start to gag. In fact it's one of the first ways that I knew that I was pregnant. I don't know if I feel that way because I know how bad it is for the baby or if it's a physical reaction.
Get an app that tracks how much time and money you're saving. Do something for yourself with that money before the baby comes.
11 year old, two 9 year olds and a sweet baby (7/13)
When you are going through a withdrawl just picture your brand new little sweet newborn crying because he is going through with draw at only a few hours old. Obviously you wont give into his craving. If he can tough it out and so can you!
People quit smoking everyday. People that have even less willpower and strength than you do. You CAN do it.
It was the hardest thing ever...but at the same time is as easy as just stop. Stop doing it. Your brain will make you think you need it or you will die...but you wont. Youll be fine. And as time passes you ll be better than fine!
2.5 years later and I'm too craving a cig...worst pregnancy craving ever. But guess what...too freaking bad. I'm pregnant. Somethings are just more important.
Start believing in yourself, let your momma bear instincts take over, and start protecting your baby!
Okay, I am sympathetic towards your cause, because I know that nicotine is addicting. Hope you get some help and support that you need to quit.
As far as the PP stating "It's your body and your babies body; it's your risk to take."....well that is just crap. It IS your body, so risk it all you want when you're not pregnant, but as far as your baby goes, he or she has no choice. Why even risk it??

Matthew 25:24-30New King James Version (NKJV)
24 "Then he who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.'
26 "But his lord answered and said to him, 'You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. 27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 28 Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.
29 'For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

The revolution after biotech, he says, will probably be nanotechnology.
"It's still on the drawing board, but that will transform the world," Dr. Lipsey predicts. To be sure, he worries that the world is moving too fast for its own good. The speed of technological change has picked up considerably over the past century, he says, and now we're faced with the prospect of a new revolution before we've had a chance to digest the current one.

I was wondering what some of you may use to aid with depression and anxiety? I was on zoloft, then that quit working, then I was on celexa and that didn't do a thing for my anxiety(they both also had bad side effects) so here I am wanting to try a natural alternative instead
I always hear a lot about St. John's Wort so I am open to it, but on the forums I visited, people said they took that and like 5 other things too. I'd like to keep the number of pills to a minimum, if possible.

text: I'm new to biking for the very most part. I remember riding some tiny thing with training wheels eons ago. I was never taught since then. Aside from brief mini lessons with a friend after work, I have nothing. But -- that shall change this weekend! I plan on purchasing my first real bike! Gonna look around the forum for the appropriate subforums and ask some questions!
