Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/tkb96b/global_telecom) has announced the addition of the "Global Telecom Expense Management Market 2012-2016" report to their offering.
TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Telecom Expense Management market to grow at a CAGR of 17.7 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increase in wireless expenses. The Global Telecom Expense Management market has also been witnessing the increase in acquisitions. However, the lack of awareness could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
The key vendors dominating this market space are IBM Corp., MDSL Inc., Tangoe Inc., and Vodafone Global Enterprise Ltd.
The other vendors mentioned in the report are Dimension Data Holdings Ltd., Pinnacle Communication Corp., Anatole SAS, Econocom Group SA., Telesoft Corp., Movero Inc., Veramark Technologies Inc., Ezwim B.V., TNX Corp., Avotus Corp., Telefonica S.A, Wide Point Corp., Accenture plc., CSC Ltd., Orange Business Services.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Telecom team said: ''One of the main trends witnessed in the Global Telecom Expense Management (TEM) market is the increased acquisition of niche vendors by global vendors. The Global TEM market is highly fragmented with several diverse as well as niche vendors. To increase their market shares, the diverse vendors are increasingly acquiring niche players. For instance, one of the leading vendors in the market, Rivermine, was acquired by Emptoris in 2011, and the latter was acquired by IBM in 2012. Similarly, vendors such as Tangoe and Vodafone are increasingly focused on acquisitions to increase their presence in this market.''
According to the report, one of the main factors that drive the demand for TEM solutions is the increasing wireless expenditure in enterprises. Over the past few years, wireless expenses in enterprises have increased significantly. Companies nowadays allow employees to use smartphones in a bid to support employee mobility. However, this leads to several issues such as security concerns, over-usage charges, text messaging charges, and device procurement charges. The management of wireless expenses is highly complex, and it requires efficient TEM solutions to minimize these expenses. Also, the growing adoption of cloud-based applications is expected to increase wireless expenses, which will further drive the need for TEM solutions.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

The thing with emulators is, you actually have infinite of all of them. You just have to make a copy of the game first. So like, I could say "hmm, I want to trade Silver with Silver.", copy the rom and the emulator, and then start each game. Its the same thing as buying 2 gameboys and 2 Pokemon SIlver versions.
There is nothing in the code of the cartridge that makes it incompatible with cartridges with the same name.

No videos were displayed, there was a featured image specified and the video did not replace the featured image. Would be cool if they updated it to work in latest WordPress.
This plugin simply did not work.
Does the job cheers. If anyone is having trouble getting it to show, be sure your template's functions.php has the directive for featured image. hint:
'<?php add_theme_support( \'post-thumbnails\' );?>'
Heavily modded custom theme version, using multisites, and this is exactly the plugin I needed! Works absolutely perfectly. You have to have a featured image set as well as the embed code for the featured video in order for this to work.
Needed a clean and simple way to replace featured image with a video and manipulate size. Easily done so with this using the embedded code straight from YouTube. After ten uses it requires a license key and navigates you to the developers website. While it is difficult on your own to find a way to purchase the key they have a popup window that immediate is shown that has a customer support agent on the other end ready to assist. The support was some of the best I've seen from any wordpress plugin and they easily helped me through the purchase process of the license key. When I purchased it, initially, the key wasn't working so I went back for support. They immediately addressed the issue and their dev team fixed my problem in a matter of minutes. For those who want an easy way to replace their featured image with a fully functional video this is the plugin for you! 5/5 is an understatement, I'd give it a 10/5 if I could!
installed as instructed
attempted to use as instructed
didn't work, option to enable video not showing up
using latest version of wordpress (391) and nothing fancy/custom on my site
try this other plugin guys:
I need to do what this plugin says it does, replace a posts featured image with a video. Unfortunately, you have to edit the base php files to do that. The developer needs to change the function so it does work on posts and pages.
i need this so much, replace a image of woocomerce product page, to a video enbed. if someone know how please tell me
Same as other reviews. Doesn't work.
As per other users reviews, this plugin does not function.

The Fremont Diner — As Good As It Gets
Sure, I have an appreciation for pull-out-all-the-stops tasting menus in which chefs maneuver and manipulate food into high art.
But it takes a place like The Fremont Diner to remind us all how wonderful the simple, the bare bones and the pared down can be.
I'm talking the perfect crumbly buttermilk biscuit you can't wait to tear into, and a thick, spicy tomato soup served in a heavy coffee mug with a spoon — all enjoyed on a picnic table underneath a tented patio.
Surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards on the Sonoma side of the Carneros wine region, The Fremont Diner evokes nostalgia from the get-go with its rusty pick-up truck parked outside and its wood-slatted building with its swinging front-porch door.
My husband and I dropped by a few weeks ago, paying our tab at the end of a most soul-satisfying meal.

Hello I run a network of about 25 computers all connected to a SBS 2003 server
I want to start using thin clients as building a computer for all the new employees we are getting is time consuming, plus all the other benefits of it.
I quickly looked it over and it seems my 2003 server can do it, but I should, and would prefer to have a separate server dedicated to it.
So what I would like to know, is what server do I need to buy? Can I get the 2008 version and have it work with my 2003 server? Or should I stick with another 2003 server, and what version do I need to get?
Also can I use my existing CAL's, or can I move them over, buy new ones, etc.?
And does anyone have a recommendation for a thin client to buy, I get all my stuff from newegg, so if you have a specific one that you suggest from them, that would be great.
Thanks for any help !!

Kings County Jerky Co. Goes Brick and Mortar in Bushwick
The Brooklyn meat monger unveils its industrial-chic kitchen and showroom.
No more bungee-cord-and-box-fan dehydrators for Kings County Jerky Co. Thrillist brings word of the company's industrial-chic new digs in Bushwick, where they'll be offering tours and weekend open houses featuring jerky and beer. The meat monger's website informs us that, in addition to classic, bulgogi, and orange-ginger beef flavors, Kings will soon start peddling a vegetarian mushroom snack, "strips of portobello mushrooms ... bathed in savory marinades and slowly dried into chewy, delicious jerky." That doesn't sound too different from the mushroom chips David Chang and his cronies over at the Momofuku test kitchen are making. If only that place offered tours!

To implement this change, all active/current Controlled Substances Registrations (CSR) will automatically be renewed on Aug. 20, 2015, and will expire on Aug. 31, 2016. New certificates will not be mailed with automatic renewals. CSR's may be verified by visiting the CSR Search & Verification System.

New/original registrations will continue to be accepted and processed. New registrations issued after Aug. 20, 2015, will expire Aug. 31, 2016. The completed application and $25 processing fee must be mailed to the address provided on the webpage. Fees will not be prorated.
Prior to registration or renewal your supervising/delegating physician must be listed with the Texas Medical Board as giving you prescriptive authority for controlled substances.

EMS may use the Application for Registration/Renewal for Practitioners with additional information. Signature of the EMS administrator, as listed with Texas DSHS, may sign in the space for "Signature of Applicant." The Medical Director's signature, CSR number and Board license number are required. This can be added at the bottom of the form.
The Modification of Registration - EMS form may be used to include the current information for the DSHS listed Administrator and Medical Director as recorded on the DSHS website.
Pharmacies will use the same application as practitioners. The fields for name, DOB and SSN may be left blank. Indicate the name of the Pharmacy in the address information area.
The Modification of Registration and Report of Theft, Loss or Surrender of Controlled Substances forms listed below must be signed by the registrant. The completed form may be scanned and emailed via send a secured email or faxed to (512) 424-5799.

The body needs living nutrients to reverse the DNA damage that can lead to diseases. More and more health-conscious consumers turn to barley grass juice to protect the body's vital cells.
Availability: In stock
Check items to add to the cart or select all
4.2 oz size (1 month supply) The rich scent, vibrant color, and delicious, fresh taste of BarleyMax are living proof its pure nutrition and health promoting power — there's nothing else like it! Made from the juice of gluten-free*, young barley leaves harvested at the peak of nutrition, BarleyMax is jam-packed with:
Plus, with its living enzymes and countless micronutrients, BarleyMax offers one of the widest spectrums of naturally occurring nutrients in a single source!
This powerhouse of raw, living nutrition helps your body build 300 million healthy new cells every minute of every day! And healthy cells help your body defend itself from free radicals, which cause DNA damage.
In fact, BarleyMax has been shown to protect human cells from DNA damage, the "biological rust" that plays a large role in aging and disease. As an added bonus, a study involving extract of barley leaf has shown to decrease LDL (bad) cholesterol! No other juice powder compares! So what makes it so different from dead, freeze-dried green juice powders? The secret is how it's made…
In the end, each 8.5 oz container of BarleyMax contains the gluten-free*, dehydrated juice of 15 pounds of freshly harvested barley grass, a much more nutrient-dense and better tasting alternative than freeze dried products or even freshly harvested "indoor" wheat grass.
Also available in Berry flavor.
* GLUTEN-FREE: Barley grass is inherently gluten-free. The barley plant only becomes gluten-containing once a head of grain develops. Since the barley grass grown to make BarleyMax is harvested before this stage, BarleyMax is gluten-free. Independent lab test results confirm that BarleyMax powder contains 3 parts per million (ppm) of gluten; the FDA standard to be considered gluten-free is 20 ppm.
Embark on a lifelong journey of vibrant health.
Celebrate a life where your body is no longer an obstacle, but your most valuable instrument to deep fulfillment, vitality and happiness.

Rated 5 out of 5 by austindenise This is a beautiful basket!!! I bought this as a "toy box" to try to corral all the fuzzy and squeaky toys my dogs own, while still keeping my living room attractive. It's perfect for that purpose, but actually attractive enough to use for many more sophisticated purposes :) April 20, 2014

Apple Net-Tablet to Market
Apple is indeed working on tablet-like device that may finally surface sometime next year
Rumors are swirling all over again about Apple bringing a tablet device to market.
The device will debut in the Fall of 2009 with a 7 or 9 inch screen, making it larger than the iPod Touch and iPhone.
A large screen iPod touch device to be released in the Fall of 09, with a 7 or 9 inch screen. Prototypes have been seen and handled by one of our sources, and Apple is talking to OEMs in Asia now about mass production.
While the Cupertino firm has been toying with a touch-tablet device for a few years, it was concerned that consumers may not respond favorably to such a device. Microsoft's Tablet PC was met with a lukewarm reception, and is primarily used in vertical markets such as sales, healthcare, and education.

The Kingston Lady Yellow Jackets enjoyed the comforts of home on Monday and Tuesday as Ronnie Ladd's squad rolled to a pair of easy wins.
On Monday, Kingston hosted Loudon in a District 4-AA contest and shutout the Lady Redskins, 10-0.
Tuesday would see the Lady Jackets knock off Meigs County in a non district game, 8-1.
Monday's Game
Kingston's Samantha Aycock fired a three-hitter with one walk and eight strikeouts in picking up the shutout victory over the Lady Redskins.
Offensively, Kingston played "Home Run Derby" as the Lady Jackets hit three home runs on the evening.
The Oliver Springs Bobcats wrapped up the regular season District 4-A title Monday evening with a 3-2 victory at Wartburg.
The title actually came with three district games left to play as the Bobcats improved to 9-0 in district play and no other team in District 4-A had less than four losses after Monday.
For Bobcat head coach Tony Kegley, winning the title early has a lot of rewards. The biggest advantage is avoiding playing in the tournament's play-in games on Friday, May 4 and Saturday, May 5.
Fans at Harriman's Flour Mill Flats were treated to a thrilling game Wednesday evening as the Midway Lady Green Waves downed the host Lady Devils in 10 innings, 6-4.
Much of Wednesday's contest would feature a home run contest between Lady Devil CF Haylee Goins and Midway's Danielle Borum. Both would hit two homers on the day with Harriman's Lindsey Higgins adding a fifth home run for good measure.
Goins, who hit two long balls 24 hours earlier at Rockwood, opened the scoring in the second inning with a solo home run to left field that gave the Lady Devils a 1-0 lead.
The Harriman Lady Blue Devils kicked off a busy and important week Monday evening with a 9-4 victory over Rockwood at home.
Like most basketball players growing up, Rockwood's Cleveland Davidson had a dream of playing college basketball. Davidson will now get a chance to live out that dream as the Tiger guard signed scholarship papers last week with Roane State Community College.
The Midway Lady Green Waves swept the season series against Rockwood with a thrilling seventh inning rally for a 7-6 win Friday at Midway.
It's often said you can throw the record books out the window when county rivals get together in any sport in Roane County.
When Harriman senior Lindsey Higgins started her high school career a lot of people believed it would one day end with her signing a college athletic scholarship.
That day came Wednesday as Higgins signed a basketball scholarship with Randolph College in Lynchburg, Va.
After opening the season with six straight wins, the Kingston boys tennis team finally tasted defeat Wednesday following a 6-3 setback at the hands of defending TSSAA Class A/AA state champion Christian Academy of Knoxville (CAK).
The Warriors took control early by winning five matches in singles. CAK's wins came as Tanner Debord defeated Lucas Clower, 8-1; Koi Royal defeated Brandon Griffis, 8-4; Josh Bowden beat Quint Gasque, 8-3; Jonathan Carrol beat Timothy Smith, 8-3; and Daniel Martin knocked off Darian Sams, 8-5.

I'm really enjoying the HTC One with my Atrio M5s (MG7).
The sound is clean and clear with enough power to get the lower end singing on the MG7s. Only complaint I've got is the volume increments are too large, but apparently that's being fixed in an upcoming update.

So I got bored before, and found a bunch of adapters that I had lying around, and created a monster adapter out of them.
Does anyone know if this is harmful to any of my devices? Of course I know it's useless, and I am going to remove it, but I just want to know if it does any damage.
There's a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter, which is plugged into a 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter, plugged into a 3.5mm to 3.5mm airplane "silencer" adapter.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gov. Chris Gregoire and top lawmakers have a tentative agreement that would end months of stagnation in the state Legislature.
Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown said in an interview with The Associated Press on Monday night that leaders and top budget negotiators had agreed on the framework of a final deal. They briefed their caucuses on those plans before returning to finalize their work with the governor.
Brown declined to discuss specifics.
The special session is set to end Tuesday. Monday's flurry of meetings caps months of fruitless negotiations over how to close a roughly half-billion-dollar shortfall for the two-year budget cycle ending June 2013. A Republican-led coalition in the Senate will not take up the budget until lawmakers approve a series of policy changes in state government.

formed over very long periods of time. For perhaps four centuries men have been thinking in terms of adversary sovereignty, with the implication that the state must have a reserve of unlimited discretionary power to protect its society against other states. States could not trust one another because all states were alike. For at least three generations, Western societies have considered redistribution of income and wealth a legitimate and important function of the state without worrying about the need for establishing any limits to it. And for almost a generation now, our politics has been dominated by the belief that the government knows what to do to maintain the private economy in satisfactory operation and that it should therefore be responsible for its operation and have the powers necessary for discharging that responsibility. All three conceptions are clearly inadequate to cope with contemporary reality, but it will take time for governments to elaborate more adequate conceptions and to persuade national electorates of their adequacy.
The question is, however, how much time we have left. From the policies conducted by the Western governments, the recently sovereign developing countries learn how the world works. Western influence on the world, though still great, is declining. Eventually our societies will be the minority partner in the terrestrial enterprise. What do we want the majority to believe about the liberal idea that animated the West's historical achievement and that we continue to profess but have, in recent decades, ceased to act upon? What kind of world will it be, if the majority comes to believe that the idea is a sham?

Saga Weapons Pt.6 by cpiWatch
©2007-2016 cpi
Saga Weapons Set Pt. 6
More Weapon Designs to drive you crazy with
Top Row, Left to Right
Composite Blade-a sword made out of advanced composite ceramics, with a long strip of synthetic diamond wedged between both layers of composite ceramics, forming the edge of the sword. Very lightweight, yet durable and sharp.
Shikomizue-The legendary cane sword. a single or double-edged sword, favored by Ninja and Assassins, as a handy, utilitarian concealed weapon. The cane was designed to look like any everyday cane or a very elaborate, well crafted custom cane. In the setting of the Saga, they are made out high-grade folded steel, and are given razor-sharp edges.
Joh(Short Staff)-shorter than the traditional Bo staff, longer than an Escrima Baton, the Joh, or the Short Staff, is a time honored weapon, hailing from Japan.
Muso Gonnosuke, used a Joh, to defeat the legendary Samurai Musashi Miyamoto, before Musashi created his trademark style Niten Nito-ryu(Two Heaven Two Sword School), and ever since then, it has been known to be a formidable weapon.
Joh of the Saga, are usually made out sturdy, hardy metals and composite materials, and can be used single handed and in tandem, like Escrima Batons.
Bottom Row, Left to Right
Fighting Dirk-Traditional close-quarter blade; not quite a dagger, but a little longer. Not suited for throwing, but very reliable upclose and personal
Combat Knife-Another Combat Knife; this time, used by Alchemyst Special Forces. This sleek Combat Knife, uses a foldable switchblade configuration, and is made out of advance composite ceramics; both durable and razor sharp. Alchemyst Special Forces, are known for their close-quarter combat skills and their Combat Knife is testament to that
Boot Knife-standard backup knife; called boot knife, because of where the knife is generally stored; in a sheath attached to a boot. Always handy to have a knife fight, and you lose your other knife or sword.
Guard Dirk-A common blade of choice during the Civil War, and now a favorite among Colonists on new worlds and such. Very study and sharp, and very utilitarian and multipurpose in its use, the Guard Dirk is highly recommended for those of you, venturing out into the Vast.
Right Column, Top Row, top to bottom:
Alchemyst Light Anti-Infantry Autocannon-This Lovely piece in the Alchemyst Corporation's arsenal; is the Light Anti-Infantry Autocannon. This sweet piece of power between your legs, fires a 25mm High-Explosive Armour-Piercing Incinderary Round(HEAPI), and has a payload limit of 30 rounds; more than enough to put down a small infantry of well-armed and armoured soliders. Caseless, and uses an advance muzzle break recoil reduction system.
Alchemyst Shocktrooper Rifle-This sleek, high-powered and oh-so-highly sought after Assault Rifle, is the pinnacle of machine manufacturing technology available to the people of New Telluria.
Lightweight, sleek, highly resistant to damage, low to non-existent jamming rate, recoilless, caseless, non-conductive, waterproof, acid-resistant, and can withstand great temperature extremes and great atmospheric pressure, The Alchemyst Shocktrooper Rifle, holds up to 90 5.56mm rounds per magazine, and up to 300 with drum saddle magazines. It is the ideal assault rifle, for those who are serious about their firepower.
Alchemyst Light Anti-Tank Pistol-This hellion of a pistol,is one piece of sideiron, you don't wanna mess with. Recoil is a monster for this babe, which fires 20mm shells from a Pistol, twice the length of a Desert Eagle, about the same weight.
Despite its drawbacks, this BFG is loud enough and powerful, to make even a Tarrasque soil itself. If you can handle the recoil, without it snapping your hand, then this a gun for you
Wastelander Nomad One-Shot Saturday Night Special-Standard One-Shot, Disposable Wastelander Zip Gun, that uses a 5.7mm round, shot from a gun barrel that has no rifle grooves, but instead relies upon a powerful hammer and firing mechanism, that fires the round at great speeds. It is a common weapon among Wastelanders, and thankfully, it is reloadable, because gods forbid if it was single-shot and that was it.
Thompson 3045 Light Submachinegun-This sweet and timeless classic firearm, has been improved upon for usage by Future Generations. Sporting the same sleek classic design, albeit more compact for tommorrow's shooters and their preferences, the Thompson 3045 is a sturdy reliable gun for those who have a taste for the classic
I really like how most of your weapons have a "blast to the past" look to them. For instance the Tommy Gun at the bottom. But more than that, the pistols both have curved grips. Reminiscent of the old west than of a dystopian technology. Very nice!
thanks I love using influences from various different periods when it comes to weaponry design, ya know? variety is always a good thing in this aspect
Blades to the left rock, and so does the shock-trooper rifle!!
^__^ I'm glad you think so
ohh i have always wanted a boot knife! i love them, there just cool!
Then Erabell shall get one backups are always a plus
I so want the "Alchemyst Light Anti-Infantry Autocannon"... It's too damn awesome!
Great weapons
Great weapons
Thanks Yeah, I'd love to have an Alchemyst Anti-Infantry Cannon and the Shocktrooper Rifle those two are by far, my favorite
The blades are great, and the guns are really nice too ^.^

And are you using a ruller?
Hmmm well, I'm not the biggest fan of 0.7 or 05 mech. pencils, they are soft and light... I do all my works with a black pen...
Try at home, a normal 2H pencil, but really sharpened, i like those the most
And I don't like rullers either... I can't be accurate with a ruller >.<

Thanks for the advice!!! 2H were a common for me for a while. don't know why I stopped using them
yes, I'm using a ruler the details would be a lot better, if I had more experience and control using a 0.7 mechanical pencil. I've used 0.5 for the most part, but every time I've used 0.7, the details don't seem to come out as clean and detailed. any suggestions?
Ooooh pointy,I like the blades and the pistols alot.

Ncomputing Thin CLients Is Good or Not .. ?
Good I. What sense? What are the requirements so that you can measure whether or not this particular type of device is appropriate?
Good. NComputing have one-to-one computer access at a very reasonable cost, and when it's time for a tech refresh, the costs are minimal compared to any other solution. This should be the only way it's done. And not to mention, NComputing's ease of deployment is was extremely simple and seamless.

Death Strip: Berlin Pays Tribute to Last Person Shot Crossing Wall
Chris Gueffroy died in February, 1989 while trying to flee across the Berlin Wall. He was the last East German citizen to fall victim to the state's policy of shooting escapees in the divided city.
Berlin paid tribute Thursday to the last person shot trying to cross the Berlin Wall. Chris Gueffroy died in a hail of bullets as he tried to flee East Germany on the night of Feb. 5-6, 1989. He was the last person to fall victim to the East German policy of shooting people trying to flee across the Berlin Wall -- although more were to die trying to escape from East Germany before the borders were opened on Nov. 9, 1989.
The young barman, who wanted to avoid his approaching military service, decided to try to escape after hearing from a border guard that the shoot-to-kill order had been revoked. Gueffroy and a friend set out to cross the border in the Treptow district of East Berlin. After getting through the first sets of barriers without any problems, the pair were spotted by guards. Gueffroy was hit by 10 bullets and died shortly afterward. His friend was seriously injured and seized by the guards.
East Germany's ex-leaders always denied they had ordered soldiers to shoot people trying to flee across the Berlin Wall. However, documents which surfaced in 2007 proved without doubt that such an order did exist. "Don't hesitate to use your weapon even when border breaches happen with women and children, which traitors have often exploited in the past," reads an order dated Oct. 1, 1973.
There is no universally accepted figure for the number of people who died trying to escape East Germany, either across the Berlin Wall or through the minefields along the 1,380-kilometer (860-mile) border between East and West Germany, as the East German state manipulated records in a bid to cover up the deaths. The August 13 Working Group, a private initiative, puts the death toll at over 1,200.
Gueffroy was not the last person to die trying to flee East Germany. Winfried Freudenberg fell to his death trying to fly over the Berlin Wall in a hot-air balloon on March 8, 1989. Later in the year, several people died trying to escape from East Germany to Poland. East Germany had closed that border after the Solidarity movement came to power in June 1989.
The corpse of the last known victim of the East German regime, Frank M. from Bad Freienwalde, was retrieved from the Oder River on the German-Polish border at the beginning of November 1989, just days before the Berlin Wall fell. This year will feature a series of events in Germany commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Whether low fat or low carbs, there are no difference in branded diets, says study. - Filepic
Low-carb or low-fat diets resulted in the most weight loss, but despite a difference of a few pounds between groups, all the programs in the study were about equally effective, says lead author Bradley C Johnston.
"The weight loss differences between branded diet programmes were small with likely little importance to those seeking to lose weight," he says.
Johnston, of the Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute in Toronto and McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, says any diet programme should include exercise and behavioural support.
The analysis included 49 randomised controlled trials that tested 11 popular branded diets for at least three months. All of the participants were overweight or obese, and they all had daily nutrient or calorie targets. Some had exercise goals as well.
The low-carb diets, like Atkins, South Beach and Zone, require that no more than 40% of daily calories come from carbohydrates and another 30% come from protein.
The low-fat diets, including the Ornish and Rosemary Conley diets, specify that less than 20% of calories come from fat, and 60% come from carbohydrates.
Johnston and his team also included trials of moderate macronutrient diets, like Biggest Loser, Jenny Craig, Volumetrics, Nutrisystem and Weight Watchers, which also require around 60% of calories from carbohydrates but allow more from fat and less from protein than the low-fat diets studied.
Compared to no diet at all, each of the diets produced more weight loss, but low-fat and low-carb were most successful, according to results in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
At the six-month point, people on low-carb diets had lost an average of 8.6kgs, which dropped to 7.3kgs at one year. Low-fat dieters lost an average of more than 7.7kgs by six months, which also dropped to 7.3kgs by one year. Moderate macronutrient dieters lost an average of 5.7kgs after one year.
The different diet brands within each category didn't make much difference, the authors write. For example, among the low-carb diets, the Atkins diet resulted in about two more kilograms of weight loss than the Zone diet at the six-month point.
"I think in general when people follow a specific plan and have a support system and guidelines that pull them away from their normal everyday behaviour, I would expect to see weight loss," says Lindsay Malone, a registered dietician at the Cleveland Clinic who was not part of the new review.
While weight loss appeared slightly greater with low-carb versus low-fat diets, "with either one you're making a lot of significant changes, eliminating junk food and junk calories," Malone says.
She and her colleagues typically don't endorse specific diet brands. Instead, they sit down with patients and talk about their lifestyle, what has worked for them in the past, and recommend certain characteristics of diets individually, she says.
Though the moderate macronutrient diets in the review resulted in slightly less weight loss than others, they may still be the best choice for some people, she says.
"Moderate macronutrient provides the greatest variety so is easiest for some people," says Malone. "If they are feeding a family or eating on the go a lot, maybe that is a little more doable for them."
Though the brands themselves didn't differ meaningfully, there are still advantages to branded diet programmes, Johnston says.
"Branded diets are likely more effective than general dietary guidelines because they typically involve a comprehensive programme including behavioural support and physical activity," he says. "Some also include prepared foods, recipes and meal ideas."
Health professionals can help assess which diet programme the patient is most likely to stick to and achieve lasting weight loss, as well as a diet's potential impact on other health measures like cholesterol and blood pressure, says Johnston.
"We know that you can achieve weight loss with more than one type of diet," Malone says. "The diet that really should be presented or offered to people is the one they're going to stick to." – Reuters

Got a green "Out n About Nipper Double V3" from irentstuff website. Loving it. Runs really well, has a great big hood which has been useful in all this sunshine. My main love is how easy it rolls. I dont fold it up much but that is also a fairly painfree exercise. My two kids are very happy going on a 3 mile walk just sat there taking in the scenery so i'm guessing the seats are comfy. The back bags are ok if a bit fiddly. Cant really complain!

Jack gave a very good overview of NoSQL.
0 · June 6, 2012
This was typical of Jack's presentations, an invitation to all who are willing to make the effort to get on the "bleeding edge" of innovation in the IT world. For me it demonstrated that once again as the demands of the business world change, (in this instance the incredible volume(s) of data), the IT gurus come up with a solution. Jack indicated that RDBMS and noSQL are not necessarily mutually exclusive, (e.g. RDBMS supplies client name and address info and noSQL app supplies all his twitter messages). The inference is that they both can be coded in the same developer app but no example (as I recall) was given.

OSCARS Q&A: Alexander Payne Returns Home For 'Nebraska'
Anna Lisa Raya is deputy editor of AwardsLine.
Much has been written about the decades-long journey Nebraska took to the big screen. For director Alexander Payne—who spent a year of that time just scouting locations in his home state—the gap allowed him to distance himself from his other road-trip movie, Sideways, and get Paramount behind his desire to shoot in black-and-white (having 2011's well-received, George Clooney-starrer The Descendants under his belt surely helped). The film, which stars veteran actor Bruce Dern, has been warming audiences since its early bow at the Cannes Film Festival last May and captures that tragi-comic vibe that runs through Payne's work.
Related: OSCARS: A Crowded Field Vying For Directing & Writing Noms
AwardsLine: How do you characterize the long gap between when you were attached to make Nebraska and when the film finally went into production?
Alexander Payne: The reason it took a long time is that I didn't want to follow up one road-trip film with another. In hindsight, the biggest advantage is in how Bruce Dern looks. He wouldn't have looked as great 10 years ago. You see different actors in movies and think, "Thank God they got that actor at exactly the right moment." Tatum O'Neal in Paper Moon (1973). Liza Minnelli in Cabaret (1972). I feel that way about Bruce Dern in Nebraska.
Related: OSCARS Q&A: Bruce Dern Talks 'Nebraska'
AwardsLine: Nebraska is the first film on which you don't share writing credit. What appealed to you about Bob Nelson's script?
Payne: It's a comedy with moments of gravity. I liked that. I liked the austerity of the script—it was under a hundred pages. Increasingly, I'm attracted to short screenplays. Nobody really wants a film to be over two hours, or at least I don't. So I liked this short screenplay that could make an interesting movie and that allowed me to shoot back in Nebraska.
AwardsLine: Your films tend to have these subtle moments that are very powerful. Paul Giamatti's response in 2004's Sideways when his character's ex-wife tells him she's pregnant. The desperation of George Clooney's character running in The Descendants. Bruce Dern's Woody driving by his old flame in Nebraska. How hard are those moments to capture?
Payne: The scene in Nebraska with that lingering shot on (Angela McEwan's) face—I don't recall if I actually even wrote it out for the screenplay—but I knew I wanted to have that as a surprising emotional punch at the end. And then I gave both actors the same direction. I said to (McEwan), "Even though you happily married someone else, you never forgot Woody, and this is the last time you'll ever set eyes on him." In Sideways, it's supposed to be a real gut punch when the ex-wife says she's pregnant, and that's exactly how (Giamatti) played it. In later takes, I encouraged him to smile, to cover what he's really feeling. (With Clooney) there's only one closeup on his face when he runs. It was a sort of anguished, comic sequence—just silent comedy. I came up with the idea a few weeks before shooting. I walked around the neighborhood and found that hairpin turn that he would run around.
AwardsLine: Bruce Dern and June Squibb both talked about how wonderfully hands-off you are as a director. Where does that confidence and trust come from?
Payne: I spend a long time casting, but once I've cast (a film) there's a reason why I selected those people. So I'm hands-on in selecting the cast, hands-off to see what they do with their characters, and hands-on again to offer suggestions.
Related: OSCARS Q&A: June Squibb On The Road To 'Nebraska'
AwardsLine: Were there any scenes in Nebraska that were particularly hard to shoot?
Payne: It's all hard when you have such a small shoot. I'm usually a 50-day kind of guy. But I only had 35 days to shoot this one because the black and white gave me a reduced budget. The whole movie was hard in that way, in trying to capture something photographically beautiful by shooting at the right times of day, making sure the scenes were lit as beautifully as could be. And because that allowed for very few cuts, the actors really needed to be up to speed for every shot.
AwardsLine: How do you balance the pride in what you did with Nebraska with the chaos of awards season?
Payne: The reason you're asking this question is that adult movies with any artistic credit are released in the last quarter of the year and expected to gird for battle for Globes and Oscars. So the films aren't being seen just for themselves, but rather in a competitive context. I resent that. What that does is blur the line between a good old-fashioned release for the film and what is seen as campaigning for an award, which for me it is not. I'm happy to do promotional stuff on the film, in large part due to gratitude and politeness to the studio that financed it. And if it helps put more butts in seats, I'm happy to do so. However, when I'm introduced as a two-time Oscar winner, I recognize that those things are valued by others. I'm happy that a film of mine has found an audience and some acclaim because that keeps me in business. A filmmaker's greatest concern is the ability to make future films, so all of those things help keep me in business.
Class act. Keep making the films your way, Alexander. I'll always find a seat.
Referencing Paper Moon and Cabaret makes me think he likes his movie a lot more than I did. I found it boring and trite and utterly inconsequential. If it had anything to say about memory or regret or family or aging or marriage or poverty or middle America, I missed it. There's an old lady swearing and lifting her skirt and that's always funny (no it's not). I think the director let his actors AND the characters down with this thin, thin gruel and then padded the crap out of it with pretty shots of grain silos.
Boo! One thing the movie was about… a son learning that his father wasn't just the one-dimensional character he assumed he was. He had love and heartbreak and pain and regret and kindness and mistakes throughout his life that made him just like his son… a human being.
Take a breath and try watching a film with an open mind, instead of all that pent-up anger at whatever's made you so hateful in life.
Nah, now Runner Runner. That deserves best screenplay for sure.
Worst writing of the decade. Garbage.
Dern's character isn't played for senile, just ornery and occasionally drunk, but somehow he lived his long life without ever having heard of sweepstakes marketing scams? These are not a 21st century invention and Dern is left trying to figure out if his character even believes he's a winner or not.
If you've got elderly people in your life or know anyone in middle America struggling to make ends meet, losing their hold on what their parents took for granted or seeking solace in a bottle, this movie will strike you as false and utterly pat (and not just because it thinks it's a comedy). There's nothing more substantial developed between father and son than pity and Stacy Keach's villain lacks only a twirling mustache to show us how awful he is (his character is a total re-tread of Beau Bridges' in The Descendants). I never loved About Schmidt but it's a richly-realized masterpiece by comparison. Sideways and Election are flawless. This is a facile movie any way you slice it.
But thanks a bunch for the psychological workup.
Am truly a fan, but Nebraska was Payneful.
Nice shout-out to Tatum O'Neal. She was fantastic in "Paper Moon". I'm the same generation as Payne and there are certain performances that still stand out from the 1970's and Tatum's is one of them.
You can't pay me to see a B&W film. Ridiculous and arrogant decision by Payne.
Can we pay you to stop making ridiculous comments?
Really? I can't tempt you to Some Like it Hot, Double Indemnity, High Noon, Casablanca, Philadelphia Story, Manhattan, The Third Man, It's A Wonderful Life, City Lights, The Maltese Falcon to name but 10? If that's really true then you are really missing out.
that's just your opinion…b&w is beautiful
Huh? Are you serious? Some of the great movies of all times are in black and white. Photographers will tell you that they typically prefer black and white images to color. I've seen Nebraska twice already and I can't imagine it in color. I' so glad that Payne fought for the right to maintain his vision. He's certainly earned it. Great film.
The old black and whites are great in black in white.
It doesn't work for this film because it is set in modern time.
Why not give us the beautiful, color, sweeping landscapes of Montana, Nebraska, Wyoming?
Only part I couldn't figure out…why B&W for a modern film set in big sky country?
Dear Alexander:
Please go back to working with Jim Taylor. No I am not him or his agent. I just think your films together is what made your work distinctive. I love Nat Foxon and Jim Rash (Loved The Way Way Back) but even The Decedents was not on the same level as Election, about Schmidt, Sideways or even Citizen Ruth.
And pair up with Rolfe Kent again.
A great movie. A unique take on America today. Beautiful performances, magnificent cinematography and the black and white choice was critical. My favorite movie of the past several years.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
