Forrester's surveys show that individuals all over the world are using cloud technologies to store their personal and work stuff: files, contacts, photos, music, and videos. In Europe and the US, 61% and 77% of online adults respectively use one or more of these services. As a result, there's now a new internet gold rush to help you build your digital self – to help you access, manage and benefit from your digital information, using any smartphone, tablet, PC, or web browser.
Once your digital self is stored in online services, it becomes possible for providers to serve you with not only automated storage but advice. These providers do things such as automatically uploading your digital photos, synchronising your contacts everywhere and automatically assembling your expense report from photos, scans or emails of receipts. Or even advising you on the right financial strategy or workout times, based on your spending logs and work calendar.
The companies offering these services are a mix of leading startups, big tech companies and new players. For example, Phil Libin created Evernote to help you remember everything easily, after he grew frustrated at fiddling with files to organise information from work and home. Now Evernote has 45m accounts and a new deal to serve Telefonica's wireless customers worldwide. When you enter new notes, Evernote suggests related notes from your notebooks and those of co-workers you're linked to.
Drew Houston started Dropbox to give you access to computer files everywhere – motivated by his experience of needing files from his other computer. As of July, Dropbox has 170m accounts – 70m more than just eight months ago. Dropbox aims to be your file system on any gadget, so you can easily find, share and saves files no matter what browser or device you're using.
Manilla, Doxo and Volly are variations on the idea of helping you organise and manage your bills and statements on one central website for free. Your providers get more people using digital services instead of paper, plus the chance to offer you better services based on your usage and needs, based on analysing your actually financial records.
Apple's iCloud, Microsoft's SkyDrive, and Google Drive all aim to organise and store your key digital information online. Having all that stuff online makes new assistance and advice possible. Google Now, Cueup and Otixo each offer to analyse your email, schedule, contacts, social networks and other information in order to offer suggestions for managing your schedule, finding new contacts and being better informed.
Based on our research, we expect the battle to serve our digital selves to unfold over the next six years. Competitors big and little are jockeying for position, but none have a big head start. Individuals will come to be defined as much by where they store their digital selves as what their nationality is. Your choice of who to trust with the myriad details of your life in return for proactive services will be seen as a defining choice, just like choosing where to live or what kind of car to drive. The big American internet companies, major telcos, retailers and financial companies, and even some governments will compete to be the digital butler for the web of services that make up your digital self. Who you choose will define you. Will you become a Google, a BT, a Carrefour or a Baidu? Your choices will remake the power dynamics of the online world.

Ahhhh...the grand illusion
SUBMITTED: Friday, January 24, 2014POSTED: Friday, January 24, 2014
Yes I did agree to purchase the truck, but due to a simple misunderstanding it all went to hell...
A payment was indeed missed, but what Mr. Robb is NOT saying is that I spend upwards of 100$ hurrying to get his plates back to him and a payment that HAD to be sent over night to him...that was the amount of the payment that was missed..
and the bully...yes...Once we could or would not agree to his LUDICRIS late fee's that we're NOT in ANY of the paperwork I agreed to he got VERY hostile and abusive...and I simply did not want to deal w/ the abuse..plain and simple..
as for the ride w/ no reimbursement...again..part truths...He did give a ride to my driver and I down to K-falls..and when it came time to pay him, he wanted $200 for the first payment, I gave him $260(ATM would only dispense 20's) so I dont think that $60 was a tip for his kindness...
not sure what the 'extra' parts he's referring too...there we're 4 pieces of trim that we're not put back on...
Mr. Robb WAS paid in full 1236$ I think..I have proof...and yet he STILL filed a judgement against me and did not report it to the courts that the debt was paid..
to top it off, I didnt hear anything for well over a year after it was paid off...then he came and stole it and stripped it and left it on the side of the road..I have the police report and the finger prints..and Now he sits in Jail..
So WHO not to trust?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

POTTSTOWN Ś Hundreds turned out to the 100 block of East High Street Sunday afternoon for what, by all accounts, was the largest Carousel of Flavor yet.
In its ninth year, the food festival and community event brought out 18 local restaurants, which served their dishes to consistent lines of people
ôEverything has grown,ö said Miles Feather, the eventĺs chairman. ôToday is a blur. Itĺs a great day.ö
ôThis is the best around. Itĺs the biggest weĺve ever seen here,ö said Craig Miller, a chef for The Station Bistro in Kimberton. It was his third year at the Carousel of Flavor.
ôItĺs the best weather, the best turnout,ö Miller said.
Although the sun constantly played peek-a-boo for most of the event, the weather remained mild and a soft breeze dissipated smoke from barbecues in the main serving tent that stretched about 70 feet down the middle of the closed street.
The Carousel of Flavor is the largest fundraiser for the Carousel at Pottstown, a group that aims to bring a functioning carousel to Pottstown to drive tourism in the area.
ôWhen the carousel gets up and running, itĺll be a great asset to the community,ö said Sheila Dugan, co-owner of Grumpyĺs and Pottstownĺs Main Street Manager.
Dugan wore her teal ôBuy Localö T-shirt while she handed out chicken Italian sliders and butternut squash soup.
ôItĺs great to be buying local, to come out and get to know your customers, get your name out,ö she said.
Smith Family Plaza was full of festival-goers sitting at the regular park benches or tables set up specifically for the event. The Flathead Band played a variety of classic and modern rock songs in front of the fountain there while behind the fountain, a lady clown entertained some shy children.
A green trolley bus ferried those interested from the festival up to the carousel building to check out the progress being made there.
Community organizations and vendors had tables set up on the street close to North Hanover Street and a Philadelphia Steam fire engine was parked nearby.
Children ran around in plastic pink and green fire helmets.
In addition to the row of food tents, a beer tent featuring brews from Yuengling, Coors and Rogue was set up parallel to Borough Hall in the street. Police chief and current interim borough manager Mark Flanders stamped hands of those going into the tent with former borough manager Jason Bobst standing next to him.
The scent of grilling carried a block up and down High Street.
ôI came out because I love food,ö said Jonathan Munz, of Pottstown, who was out with his family. ôI know a lot of these places and the quality that comes with them. I definitely saw a couple that I want to try and I may be going to a few more of these places after this.ö
Bruce and Patti Pollock, from Stowe, said they appreciated the festival, something theyĺve made a point to get to in past years.
ôWe actually do try to come down,ö Bruce said. ôI like it. Itĺs a nice, hometown atmosphere.ö
ô(We like) to support local business,ö Patti said.
Feather emphasized that the organizers of the Carousel of Flavor looked to include more variety and new restaurants this year. One of the more popular new additions was the Bamboo Hut, a Caribbean cuisine restaurant. Throughout the afternoon, there was a solid line for those waiting to pick up their jerk chicken.
After seeing how many restaurants came out this year, Feather said heĺs excited for the 10th Carousel of Flavor, which he thinks could attract 25 restaurants.
Mayor Bonnie Heath was present at the event and praised what the event does for the borough.
ôI think itĺs creating a sense of place here, a place people want to be,ö she said. ôWeĺve had a big role in the Chester, Montgomery, Berks County region in the past and weĺre rolling back into that role.ö
Simply, the event brought the townĺs residents together, she said.
ôItĺs not just eating then running,ö she said. ôPeople are talking to each other. Thatĺs something we need more of.ö

Stay in the Light
I posted a challenge on Facebook, asking all of my Friends to create an opening sentence to a short story. The opening sentence to THIS story is the one that I picked from those selections (obviously). The sentence was provided by Kendra Perry-who just so happens to be my World History teacher.
This story started out being mere entertainment but, like most things I write, ended up being an allegory. An allegory for what, you may ask? Well, that's for you to decide.
The beeping wouldn't stop.
I blinked into consciousness and jerked up in my bed. A dark, gloomy mist seemed to shroud the bedroom. The door at the far side of the room was closed and secure. Dilapidated curtains blew in the wind—wind coming from the open window.
Open window?
An open window would not have been such a strange thing, had I not vividly recalled closing it the night before. I had been very intentional about doing so, as it was Winter. Cold nights and Winter went together like beer and bread—neither was preferable on their own, but together they gave a certain comfort.
My feet found the floor and carried me to the window. I looked out for a moment and listened. The beeping was still loud and shrill and just as clear—the sound was not coming from outside. I quickly closed the window.
The beeping was consistent and rapid, urgent. When I had first awoken, I had suspected it to be my phone, but the more I listened the more sure I became that it was something far more sinister. My night was about to be ruined, and I could feel it. Evil omens seemed to shout ghastly at me wherever I turned. My heart beat relentlessly, and I could feel my palms beginning to soak in sweat. I ran my hand through my hair and breathed deeply.
Somewhere, in earshot, a woman cried. I tried to force a swallow, but my throat didn't cooperate. I moved to the window, pushed the curtains aside, and stared deeply into the streets. Darkness had enveloped it; so much so, in fact, that it was impossible to see much more than a few street-lamps—swinging in the breeze. My eyes lowered to see a shadow—a figure—standing beneath the streetlight. It was nothing more than a silhouette—a faceless ghoul of the night—but the sight still made my skin crawl. It seemed to be facing me, staring at me. I stared back. It wasn't moving, but I could see it breathing. The shoulders of the shadow rose and fell consistently. Whatever it was, it was certainly alive. Slowly, the shadow receded. It stepped back and out of the light and disappeared into the darkness—retreated into the night. I licked my lips.
A crashing sound from behind me sent cold spikes screaming up my spine. I swung around and fell back against the window, my leg extended. "Who's there?!" I cried, my voice hoarse and desperate. When there was no reply, I sank to the floor.
Beep . . .
Beep . . .
Beep . . .
My head throbbed. I covered my ears in an attempt to drown out the blaring noise, and tried to calm my shaking body with deep breathing and quiet, peaceful thoughts. My thoughts were anything but peaceful, however. I was very worried and shaken by the sounds and darkness that surrounded me. I could see the light-switch on the wall by the door, but I feared the darkness too much to stand. Another deep breath, another quiet thought. My heart beat eased.
Fear . . . fear . . .
I composed myself as much as I could, gripping my hand—squeezing the adrenaline away. Another deep breath, another quiet thought. My heart beat eased once more.
Fear . . . fear does not exist.
I inhaled sharply, filling my lungs and throat.
Fear is a choice. Fear is an illusion. Fear does not exist.
I reached up, gripped the windowsill, and pulled myself to my feet.
I am not afraid.
I exhaled.
I was standing. I looked around the room, ensuring I was alone. I held my breath.
There were many sounds. The clock ticked, the window shook, the wind blew—and, still, a loud and shrill beeping . . .
I moved to the door. I hit the switch and gave one last glance behind me before forcing the door open. Light enveloped everything behind me as I moved from my room and into the hallway. The hallway had no electric lights—only candles aligning the walls.
Immediately, I entered the bathroom. There was a matchbox by the sink. I grabbed it and turned the bathroom lights on. As the bathroom was bathed with light, I reentered the hallway. I struck a match and began to systematically light all of the candles aligned on the right side of the hall. I then returned to light the ones on the left.
Now, that cursed beeping.
I descended the staircase quickly but calmly, careful not to allow myself to slip into fear.
Fear does not exist.
I lit another match and carried it with me as I searched the dark for the downstairs light-switch. The small flame offered little light, but just enough that I could walk without worrying about running into walls. I entered the kitchen and hit a switch. White lights flickered on, just as a terrible tearing sound erupted from behind me.
I paused, but didn't turn.
Footsteps echoed off the kitchen walls as someone—or something—approached me from behind. It was then that I realized that I had hardly taken any time to try and stay in the light, as I had been too busy trying to quench the darkness. I looked down at the ground and thought deeply, just as a cold, bony hand enveloped my neck.
Maybe that was my problem all along . . .
Beep . . .
Beep . . .
Beep . . .

Shaquille O'Neal Signs Deal With Li-Ning For "Dunkman" Line
Published August 15, 2006
|Li-Ning's Zhang Zhiyong (l) And O'Neal At
Announcement Of "Dunkman" Shoe Deal
MENDING FENCES: The WALL STREET JOURNAL's Fowler & Fong write the deal could help O'Neal "overcome perceptions of racism, which were initially sparked when [he] allegedly made derogatory comments" about Yao. O'Neal later said he was joking and that he was friends with Yao, but "many Chinese sports fans were rankled nonetheless." During the announcement of the deal yesterday, O'Neal "drew snickers from the audience when he said, 'I'm Shaquille O'Neal and I love China'" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 8/15).
POPULARITY CONTEST: Last year through November, O'Neal's No. 32 Heat jersey was the eighth-best selling NBA jersey in China. The following lists the top ten (THE DAILY).
|Rockets F Tracy McGrady
|76ers G Allen Iverson
|Rockets C Yao Ming
|Lakers G Kobe Bryant
|Cavaliers F LeBron James
|Nuggets F Carmelo Anthony
|T'Wolves F Kevin Garnett
|Heat C Shaquille O'Neal

SPIRIT OF '92: SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL's John Lombardo reports USA Basketball and Nike "will bring back apparel from the original Dream Team ... as part of its revamped merchandise strategy" leading into the World Championships beginning Saturday and the Beijing Games. NBA Senior VP/Global Merchandising Group Sal LaRocca said, "There will be a primary focus in recreating the first Dream Team from 1992, with every jersey from every player to be on sale with a November launch." Lombardo notes a marketing deal with the league calls on the NBA to run USA Basketball's merchandising efforts. USA Basketball and the NBA will split 10-15% of merchandising revenue generated from the World Championships to the '08 Olympics. The '04 Athens Games generated just $1M in merchandise sales (SBJ, 8/14).

The Grocery Delicatessan is a grocery store and delicatessen located somewhere in Manhattan.
The market was haunted by the Grocery Specter and ruined several aisles. The Ghostbusters and Slimer quickly confined and trapped it. However, some of its essence leaked onto an elephant ride near the doorway. It animated and followed the Ghostbusters to the Firehouse.

Indian Opener Shikhar Dhawan feels that it is good for the Indian Team that there is a healthy competition for the opening slot in the team.
The left handed opening batsman is ready for the Srilankan Series Coming this month, he is ready to make the most out of the chances he get to perform for the Indian Team.
"I think it is a good thing for Indian cricket that there is so much competition for the opening slot. Players put in more effort because you can be kicked out if you don't play well and make mistakes. I take it positively and try to ensure that I give my best," Dhawan said at the press conference in Chennai on Sunday. "It (Sri Lanka series) is going to be a good series. They have also got a young side and we also don't have a mature Test side, so it is going to be a good competition."
Shikhar Dhawan said about new Indian Test Skipper Virat Kohli that he brings much aggression to the team which helps the team to boost up there morale and help them to perform better.
The opener olso said about the aggresive style of cricket in any format "In Test cricket now, you also need players who can score quickly, it has become very important because sometimes in second innings or first innings if you score quickly it helps the team. I have always been like that, so it doesn't bother me. I just try to keep it simple. If I get a good delivery, I just defend it and If I get a loose ball then I hit it and make runs," Dhawan said.
When asked of the srilankan tour he said "It depends on the wicket. If the wicket is turning, it will be difficult for the batsman to play the spinner. Then you have to be more careful. You can't go and play your shots easily on a fast-bowling track also. You have to respect the bowler and every batsmen have their way of tackling the spinners."

Lucas, there's a bit more here http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/security.html but the gist of it is that there are groups (roles) defined in the _user db entries, and these + the user names can be applied to a given DB in the admin or members section. IIRC in 1.2.0 the name "readers" was swapped in for "members" as being a member also gave write access, not just read. Write access is typically controlled via validate_update_doc functions. A+ Dave

The Problem With The TwinsMature
"Mortician!" The Director called, adding a few comments to Medical's yearly reports. How exactly did Agent Carlson sedate Dr Westly and escape while she was in a full body cast? he typed out, and looked up as the door slammed open.
"Ah. Agent Morgan." He leaned back in his chair and raised his eyebrows, taking in Mortician's less-than-composed appearance. "The Archers running you ragged?"
"I've given them Zephyr. Someone's got to get a handle on that insane group. I swear, Agent Fuchs is causing me to go gray prematurely." He scrubbed a hand over his face. "Anyways, what did you want from me, boss?"
"Well, you know what Precedence's done to the poor Junior Agents. Although, remind me to keep an eye on that Agent Matsumura. She seems like she's going to be a surprising asset. But that aside-" Yakuza looked over Mortician's shoulder and hesitated. "Enforce the anti-eavesdropping methods, please?"
"Mmm-hmm." The man hummed, and did as his boss asked. Then he sat down in the chair in front of the other man's desk. "What's so secret?"
"Well, you have heard about Precedence's little stunt, yes?"
"Yeah, all of the senior agents are all abuzz with the news of it. Rumor has it a couple of them beat up the Executioner pretty badly. God knows the man must have been feeling pretty guilty about the whole thing in order to let a couple kids hit him." Mortician smirked.
"Oh, dear god. Medical's going to have a field day with that one. Jeez. Some of the doctors there have been waiting years to get their hands on that man." The Director sighed. "I'll fill out some orders for iron bars and send them down to Finance & Accounting."
"F & A's probably going to think you're starting to turn into a kooky old man."
"This job is enough to turn anybody a little stir-crazy." Yakuza resisted the urge to bang his head against the mahogany desk. "But back to the point - I think the pulse hit some people other than those in that room."
"What?" Mortician leaned forwards, his face crinkling a little with worry. "Who?"
"You won't believe it, but two people were walking outside the room just at that moment." The Director looked at him seriously for a moment. "Who do you think it was?"
"Oh, god." Mortician turned pale. "It was the twins, wasn't it?"
"If you're referring to Haley and Luka Galahad, then yes." Yakuza leaned back, smug as hell. "It was."
"Anyone but the Galahad twins. Please, anyone." Mortician moaned, covering his face with his hands.
"It's your fault you pissed off Haley Galahad's male counterpart. You did wreak havoc on the P.D.'s budget that year."
"The two who got gifts from that blast-thing just had to be people from the Political Division and Human Resources. Why not someone from Tactics & Strategy? Or even Weapons Designs? Agh." Mortician fumed a bit in his chair.
"Well, someone has to make sure that when we take out a tiny country's tyrannical dictator, it doesn't just fall into anarchy. And besides, if not for them, the entire Swedish government would be out for our heads." The Director was laughing a little.
"What did they get? I might as well know now."
"Mr Galahad seems to be able to sense life forces. As for Ms Galahad, she can change her body's temperature. A lot. We're talking extreme cold and extreme hot. On a semi-related note, Psych won the bet on best theory for the transformations. Their main doctor says that it seems to expand upon talents they have." Yakuza grinned. "For example, Agent Matsumura? She had a fearsome kick. Mr Galahad? Apparently has a green thumb - everyone else'll abandon a plant for dead, and he'll just nurse it back to health. Apparently he's good at seeing things' potential. And as far as I'm concerned, Haley Galahad just won himself the right to announce his Appellation - her brother, too."
"No. Just, no. This is a bad idea." Mortician looked a little desperate to stop this particular train of thought in his boss' mind. "This is a spectacularly bad idea."
"Oh, this is going to be very fun."
"Do you have any idea why we're going to Director's office? I've heard horror stories about that office. I just don't get it. P.D. even handed all the status reports in on time, which almost never happens."
"And as for H.R., we're- well, we're doing okay." Luka seemed a little worried, but upon seeing his sister's look of consternation, he said, "Look, it'll all be fine. Probably." They approached the Director's office.
"The twins? Go right in." The secretary - Revels - said, waving them into the office as they approached.
The heavy twin oak doors swung shut behind them, and both of them felt more than a little trapped.
"Sir?" Haley ventured.
"Ah, good. You're here." The Director looked up from his paperwork. "Sit down, please."
They shared a look, but seated themselves in the two identical chairs in front of the mahogany desk. The doors swung shut behind them.
"Now, I'm sure you two know what an Appellation is?"
"Yeah, it's where the chosen agents get to give themselves a handle."
The Director gave a considering nod. "Yes, that's basically it. Now, it's your turn."
The twins shared a look - unease and confusion mixed into one. "But we didn't really do anything," Luka said nervously.
"I know about the skills, Mr and Ms Galahad." The Director leaned back.
Haley went a little pale. "Oh."
"I'm not going to take them away. I won't state my reasoning, but the fact that you're both very non-threatening does play a part."
"Um," The male twin glanced at his counterpart. "You first?"
"Solitaire." She raised an eyebrow, as if daring him to argue.
"Ace," Luka said, glancing hesitantly at his sister.
"So quick to come up with your Appellation?" The Director asked.
"To be fair, we work in H.R. and the P.D. respectively. We have a lot of time to think about these things, and Jeremy from Interrogation brought some cupcakes by a couple days ago. He asked us what ours would be, and it kind of got us thinking about it." Luka shrugged.
The Director blinked. "Jeremy O'Malley has never distributed baked goods around the Recon & Asset area." He said, and there was a twinge in his voice, something reminding the twins of an offended little kid. It was quickly gone, however, and the Director pulled himself together. The man gave a thin smile, ad he said, "Of course, we'll have to introduce you to the Junior Agents. They've been here for 12 months, after all, and you've been here for twenty. And, of course, they share your addition of certain… talents."
Luka twisted a little, uneasy. "Won't they be upset?"
"Of what?" The man behind the desk asked.
"That we got to keep our wings." Haley almost whispered.
The Director frowned. "Wings?" He inquired. "You don't have wings."
"But we do. These gifts, they run fingers over our nervous system, breathe over our brains, poke at our bones. They look and look and touch and touch and then they settle themselves into our framework. They complete us. Another puzzle piece to our DNA, our makeup, our wiring."
"I… don't understand." The man's forehead furrowed, his hands itched over one another. "I- I kno- knew someone. Someone who lost their wings. It hurt them. A lot." The sentences he spoke were stumbling things, just learning to walk. Not his normal sentences, not smooth, not pre-planned, just honest. Newborn. "Did this- did it hurt them? A lot? Having their wings taken away?"
Luka sighed. "I have a friend over at Records & Archiving. Y'know, what everyone just calls the Archive? She watched the tapes for documenting. They were horrific. I saw a bit of them when she wasn't answering her phone and I went to go get her. She had told me beforehand that they were traumatic, and she might become emotionally compromised. She was crying. Crying. This is a woman who has watched torture and hasn't shed a tear. It was… I can't imagine the pain.
"That one with the branches. Oh god. The tape looped back to the beginning when it ended, and… it was a part of her. Less like an arm and more like a lung. Don't you see what you're doing to them? Yeah, it hurt them. A lot." He slumped into his chair and scrubbed a hand over his face. Haley was rubbing her palm over his back in slow, soothing circles.
"I-" The Director sighed. "I can't take it back. The Executioner's done it. What he does, he doesn't undo."
Haley was quiet for a moment.
Then, she said "When we meet these people, we want a proper introduction. Otherwise? They're going to hate us." She stood up, her hand on her twin's upper arm. They walked to the large oak double-doors, both seemingly drawing energy from one another.
"By the way?" Haley looked back.
"You might want to revise your assessment of 'non-threatening'." Luka smirked a little.
They doors slammed shut behind them.
The Director let his breath leave him with a small hissing sound, and then his head met the mahogany of his desk, resting his forehead on the cool wood.

Athlete's foot is a contagious fungal infection. It is caused by a certain kind of fungi that love warm, moist conditions (like in your boots or shoes).
LamisilAT® is proven to cure most athlete's foot between the toes with 1 week of treatment.
"What's the main cause of athlete's foot? Me! Digger, the Dermatophyte. I'm always hanging around, ready to kick up a little itch."
You can get athlete's foot by touching someone's infected skin, or through contact with surface (like a shower floor or towel).Treat & Prevent
Closed toe shoes (like sneakers) give the fungi heat and moisture that it needs to grow and spread.Treat & Prevent
Athlete's foot can spread – with just a little contact – to different parts of your body (hands, toenails, or the groin area).Treat & Prevent
Click to find out if the statement below is a fact.
#1: Athlete's foot doesn't need treatment.
FALSE: In most cases, athlete's foot will not disappear on its own – in fact, it could spread. Simple contact is all you need to spread it to your groin, hands, or other people. Use LamisilAT®, proven to cure most athlete's foot.Treat & Prevent Next Question >
#2: Only athletes get athlete's foot.
FALSE: Athlete's foot is spread on contact, so anyone can get it. Athletes are more likely to get it because of their lifestyle. However, anyone wearing protective footwear (like military personnel), people who live in warm climates, and people with diabetes are all at higher risk.Treat & Prevent Next Question >
#3: Moisturizer is a good treatment for athlete's foot.
FALSE: NEVER use moisturizer as a treatment for athlete's foot! That itch is not from dry skin. Your skin looks dry and cracked because it has a fungal infection. Use the proper treatment that is proven to cure.Treat & Prevent Next Question >
#4: As soon as my symptoms are gone, my athlete's foot is cured.
FALSE: LamisilAT® eases symptoms quickly, but you must continue treatment for the full 7 days to cure your infection. Stopping treatment too early can lead to recurring infections.Treat & Prevent Next Question >
#5: Medicated powders do not cure athlete's foot.
TRUE: While medicated foot powders can keep your feet dry and ease some of the itching of athlete's foot, these products do not cure the infection. Only antifungal products like LamisilAT® Cream or Spray can cure the infection in addition to soothing symptoms.Treat & Prevent

Aussie holding above 0.7400
Tatiana Norkina, FBS analyst
Despite the increased pressure by the bears, the AUD/USD currency pair keeps holding above the 74th figure. Yesterday, the bears once again attempted to break the level downwards, but the support remains ungiving.
In general, the four-hour Ichimoku indicator indicates a bearish sentiment in the market. However, the Tenkan and Kijun lines have not yet determined the short-term trend: there is nothing to replace the cancelled golden cross with. Therefore, we do not rule out a possibility of the pair recovering into the cloud's lower border area - 0.7440 - today, then the major downtrend may be resumed.
Technical levels: support – 0.7400; сопротивление – 0.7440.
Trade recommendations:
1. Sell — 0.7440; SL — 0.7460; TP1 — 0.7370; TP2 — 0.7310.

THE boss of bailed-out ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND yesterday claimed that
banks DESERVE the unprecedented financial bill they are footing for
the PPI scandal.
Chief exec Stephen Hester confirmed it was putting up its compo pot for
customers by £400million to £1.7billion.
And RBS admitted even this was only a "best guesstimate" of their final bill.
But Mr Hester dismissed calls for a compo claim deadline — and refused to join
rival LLOYDS in condemning firms filing thousands of claims for
He said banks such as RBS simply had to "suck it up" — and recognise their
mistakes of the past. The chief executive added that Lloyds may be more
concerned because they were facing a bill of £5.3billion.
He told The Sun: "I think the industry is having to take its medicine on this
as well as other issues."
RBS's move yesterday took the total pot for the entire industry to a
staggering £12billion — making PPI the biggest financial mis-selling scandal
of all time, above pensions mis-selling in the 80s and 90s. The enormity of
the scandal has sparked growing fury over the fact that not a single banker
has been disciplined over PPI.
Only ALLIANCE & LEICESTER — now part of SANTANDER —
has even been fined for their role in the "wrongdoing" by the Financial
Services Authority.
Instead the FSA has dished out penalties to motor dealerships such as GEORGE
WHITE MOTORS or sofa chain LAND OF LEATHER (see table).
Mr Hester yesterday said RBS stopped selling PPI soon after he joined at the
end of 2008. He said increasing regulatory attention was one of the reasons
"banks took it off sale".
An FSA spokesman yesterday said it was "very difficult to hold specific
individuals to account" over the scandal.
He insisted: "We always look to take the strongest action where we detect
serious wrongdoing." Insiders told The Sun the problem the FSA faced was the
burden of proof when battling the big banks.
The PPI provision at RBS helped push the group £1.2 billion into the red for
the three months to September 30, against a profit last year.
Stripping out exceptional charges and write-offs, RBS said it had made an
"underlying" profit of £2.9billion for the first nine months of 2012, up by
almost £1billion.
Mr Hester insisted the bank was making progress, and reiterated it would be in
a place where it felt the Government could sell off some of the taxpayers'
82 per cent stake before the next General Election.
He added RBS was continuing to restructure its retail business to put customer
service at the heart of everything they do.
He insisted the bank acted in January to reduce the pressure on branch staff
to flog products to earn a bonus, but unlike Barclays and the CO-OP,
simply hadn't decided to "trumpet it".
Libor fix fine 'in weeks'
ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND is poised for "settlement" talks with regulators
over its role in the Libor scandal.
Chief exec Stephen Hester signalled a fine could be just weeks away.
He said yesterday: "I would be disappointed if we were taking this issue up at
the time of our annual results in February without having had more news."
He insisted RBS was "stood ready" to engage with authorities on both sides of
the Atlantic.
But he believes the "explosive" reaction to the £290million fine slapped on BARCLAYS
this summer for years of manipulating the overnight lending rate has forced
regulators to spend longer "dotting the 'i's and crossing the 't's".
Both LLOYDS and HSBC are also expected to be among 12 global
banks eventually fined for their part in fiddling the Libor.
Bankrupt people in 2.5% rise
THE number of people going to the wall has gone up for the first time in a
Personal insolvencies hit 28,062 between July and September, a rise of 2.5 per
cent on the previous three months, figures yesterday showed.
The Insolvency Service said the number of debt relief orders had overtaken
bankruptcies for the first time.
These allow people less than £15,000 in the red to write off debts without a
full-blown collapse.
Joanna Elson, head of the Money Advice Trust, said: "People struggling with
debt often simply can't afford the £700 it costs to go bankrupt."
The figures came a day after regulators said projected investment returns on
pensions would have to be cut from 2014 — to stop giving savers "false
impressions" of the future size of their retirement pots.
Direct hit on profits at insurer
BRITAIN'S biggest motor and home insurer has seen its profits slide by nearly
a QUARTER.
Just days after axing 70 senior staff, DIRECT LINE yesterday revealed
it made £82.4million between July and September — down 23 per cent on the
same quarter last year.
It was the firm's first results since being floated on the stock market by ROYAL
BANK OF SCOTLAND a month ago as part of the bank's recovery drive.
Direct Line boss Paul Geddes blamed the profit fall on lower investment
returns and higher restructuring charges as the company steps up
redundancies to shave its cost base. It has now axed a total of 891 posts
this autumn.
Mr Geddes insisted the group — which also runs the CHURCHILL and GREEN
FLAG brands — continues to make "good progress".
The number of "in force" policies is up four per cent since the beginning of
the year at 20.1million.
Admiral's 'no' to war
CAR insurer ADMIRAL yesterday vowed NOT to follow rivals by slashing
The firm — part of the group which owns CONFUSED.COM — said it was prepared to
see its "rate of growth" suffer instead.
Chief executive Henry Engelhardt hailed it "the sensible strategy".
Motor cover has got cheaper since the summer. Admiral's turnover in the three
months to September was two per cent down on a year ago.
Store has groom to improve
A NATIONWIDE pets chain is rolling out grooming salons as people spend more on
pampering their pooches.
PETS AT HOME yesterday said the time was right after trialling the
concept for three years.
The store's groomers do everything from nail trimming to bathing and fur
Chief exec Nick Wood said: "We had 60 in March and are now going to be doing
30 a year. Ideally, all our sites would have them."
Profits at the privately-owned business fell 2.4 per cent to £76million in the
year to April as it invested in a new product sourcing centre in Hong Kong.
Sales at the firm were up three per cent in the past six months.
– CONSUMER chiefs have slammed the banks for slapping restrictions on
basic bank accounts, most typically used by savers with a poor credit
Campaign group Consumer Focus said there was a "race to the bottom" in terms
of services being offered by the banking giants.
– AMERICAN firms took on 171,000 staff in October — in a pre-Election
boost for President Obama.
Analysts expected a rise of just 125,000. But 20 million Americans are jobless
or working part-time.
– FSA chief Lord Turner has repeated his call for more "innovative"
ways of boosting the economy, in a sideswipe at outgoing Bank of England
governor Mervyn King.
Lord Turner, a candidate to be next governor, said Quantitative Easing —
printing money — was having a "declining marginal impact".
– CONSTRUCTION output has gone UP, a new report has claimed.
Economists at MARKIT said activity in the recession-hit sector rose
slightly in October — but the level of new work and employment continued to
Markit's Tim Moore said: "The bigger picture remains bleak."

My mom celebrated another trip around the earth this year and I went out to pay her a little visit. She instilled the wanderlust and love for travel in me along with a passion for collecting things from around the world. In turn, I'm passing those things along to my own daughter. This is a little peek at some of the fun and beautiful things in her California home. What interests do you and your mom share?

A major B2B technology company with a large sales force
The company's sales force, while extensive, could only focus its time and resources on a portion of the organization's prospect universe. For senior sales and marketing executives, deciding which accounts to prioritize were amongst their most critical strategic responsibilities. To improve these decisions, executives needed a robust method to measure the incremental impact of increasing sales focus on particular accounts, but had encountered the following challenges:
The organization needed a robust analytic process to overcome these challenges and inform better decisions around sales force prioritization, so it turned to APT's Test & Learn software.
Using APT's software, the company analyzed the account prioritization decisions from the previous year. Accounts that were selected for incremental sales force focus were treated as the 'test' group, while those that were not made up the control pool. APT's proprietary control-matching algorithms enabled the company to compare performance of test accounts to control accounts that were similar across a variety of dimensions (e.g., initial pipeline stage, annual revenue, etc.). This approach enabled analysts to overcome the inherent bias that existed in accounts selected for prioritization and isolate the true impact of the sales efforts.
APT's software measured a statistically significant 7% lift in revenue as a result of the incremental sales efforts compared to similar control accounts that did not receive extra sales efforts. Digging into the findings further, though, revealed unique new insights.
By segmenting the results, analysts found that the increased sales efforts had substantially different effects on different types of accounts. For example, accounts that had not previously been targeted with increased sales efforts actually responded best. Further, shorter tenured accounts responded better than longer tenured accounts, which were more likely to make repeat purchases regardless of sales intervention.
APT's software combined these key performance drivers into a model that ranked each account on projected responsiveness to additional sales focus. Armed with these insights, executives shifted long-standing strategic assumptions to prioritize accounts that were more likely to respond positively. This approach substantially improved the return on sales efforts, driving more than $10MM in incremental revenue per year.

Stocks turned tail in quiet trade early Monday, trading thin gains for equally slender losses shortly after the starting bell.
The Nasdaq reversed out of an early gain and dipped a fraction. The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones industrial average dimmed about 0.1% apiece. Volume was soft, down 3% on the Nasdaq and 26% lower on the NYSE, compared to trade at the same time Friday.
The stock market today faces a blank economic calendar and a relatively quiet day on the international news front. The dollar muscled higher, placing downward pressure on stocks, as well as oil and gold prices.
And there was no shortage of company news influencing early trade.
Morgan Stanley (MS) crept up a fraction and Halliburton (HAL) jumped 2% on better-than-expected Q2 results. Amazon.com (AMZN) rose nearly 2% to a new high after Wedbush Securities upgraded the stock to outperform from neutral and boosted the price target to 575 from 435.
PayPal Holdings (PYPL) finally shook itself from eBay (EBAY) and climbed 6% in its first official day of trade. Robert W. Baird initiated coverage on the stock with an outperform rating and a 45 price target. Susquehanna Financial Group initiated coverage on Friday with a 75 price target.
Toymaker Hasbro (HAS) bolted up 5% after Q2 earnings and revenue slipped less than analysts expected. Toys related to the film "Jurassic World," and the Marvel and Star Wars franchises, helped drive the beat. The gain sent shares well into new highs, leaving them extended after a rebound from 10-week support.
The Ambarella (AMBA)/GoPro (GPRO) team was taking another step toward recovery, with Ambarella up 3% and GoPro ahead nearly 4% at the start of trade. The move lifted GoPro back above its 200-day moving average and back on track, climbing the right side of a deep, nine-month consolidation.
Ambarella, an IBD 50 stock, is extended after the soft rebound from 10-week support that followed two months of climax run-type action.

About This Statistic
This statistic gives information on the digital buyer penetration worldwide from 2011 to 2018. In 2013, 41.3 percent of global internet users had purchased products online. In 2017, this figure is expected to grow to 46.4 percent.

E-commerce worldwide – additional information
With digital buyer penetration expected to edge close to 50 percent of internet users worldwide in 2018, the e-commerce industry is set to evolve and expand.
In 2011, the number of digital buyers worldwide reached 792.6 million. A year later, the number rose to 903.6 million and forecasters expect there to be 1.32 billion digital buyers across the globe in 2016.
One way of measuring the growth of the e-commerce industry is to analyze purchase intention rates. Global average online purchase intention rates of various product categories were calculated in the first quarter of 2011 and can be compared with purchase intention rates from the first quarter of 2014. The comparison revealed that each product category experienced a growth in purchase intention. In the first quarter of 2014, 34 percent of respondents were planning to purchase an ebook online in the next six months. This figure represents a 19 percent growth from 2011. Event tickets also experienced a 19 percent growth.
Amazon.com and eBay Inc. are two of the world's largest e-retailers. Their success can be determined by looking at their year-on-year revenue growth from 2006 to 2013. Both companies have experienced fluctuating revenue growth during this time. In 2010, Amazon achieved a 40 percent year-over-year revenue growth, whereas eBay, in the same year only experienced a five percent year-over-year revenue growth.

All reader reviews by Oblivion
Rhodes Barbeque Shack
i can honestly say that this food is the best food i have ever tasted. i was with a group of 6 people and we ordered starters which was wicked wing drummetes and BBQ Nachos, they were the right portion, not too filling which touched the spot.
For our mains we ordered 3 Texas Trios and Some side orders, the ribs were the best, succulant and juicy and the BBQ Beef is so tender. i give this food 10 out of 10.
The service is really good There is a young waiter called Daniel, who had everything under control and this is what people want in restaraunts.
This place is situated in the middle of no where in a built up area. The restaraunt is small which makes the place very warm, and limited number of table and chairs (i would say about 20 people can eat-in at any time).
Overall the restaraunt is really good and cool, it makes me feel at home and relaxed. I would recommend it for anyone going on a first date with someone special.

text: Captured Memories: Across the Threshold of War by Peter Liddle English | 21 Oct. 2010 | ISBN: 1848842341 | 336 Pages | EPUB (True) | 1.97 MB Peter Liddle was a pioneer in the recording of memories of personal experience in the First World War and in the social background of those who lived through those years. Later he moved into the recording of men and women for whom the Second World War was the formative experience of their lives. In a planned two volume collection of the most outstanding interviews of the four thousand he made, he has chosen for this 1900-18 book memories which take the reader back as many as a hundred and twenty years to days in sailing ships, a Hebridean boyhood, suffragist action, pre-1914 working class life and work in the North-East of England and city life in London as well as service in the Boer War, pioneering a settlement in Manitoba, Canada, and the Army's experiments in the use of man-lifting kites, aeroplanes and balloons. The main focus of the book is upon the First World War with The Western Front battles, the Gallipoli Campaign and the Battle of Jutland prominently featured, but the Mesopotamian and East African fronts and women nursing under particularly unusual circumstances are represented too. Several Victoria Cross award winners and a fighter pilot ace appear as do those whose distinction was to come later in their lives like Harold Macmillan, Henry Moore, Gordon Jacob, Emanuel Shinwell, Barnes Wallis and Victor Silvester. There is even an interview with the first conscientious objector to be court-martialed and sentenced to death before commutation of the sentence. This book is a veritable treasure trove of the past.
