When David Pogue, the
New York Times'
chief technology columnist, sat down with Steve Jobs after his "It's only rock and roll" keynote Wednesday, Pogue's first question was the one, as he put it, the "blogosphere's been buzzing about": Why did Apple (aapl) put a video camera on the iPod nano but not -- as widely expected -- on the iPod touch?
Jobs reiterated what Phil Schiller, his marketing vice president, had said earlier on stage: that Apple was pitching the iPod touch as a game machine -- the "funnest iPod ever." Adding a camera would have made that game machine less affordable.
In Jobs' words:
"Originally, we weren't exactly sure how to market the Touch. Was it an iPhone without the phone? Was it a pocket computer? What happened was, what customers told us was, they started to see it as a game machine. We started to market it that way, and it just took off. And now what we really see is it's the lowest-cost way to the App Store, and that's the big draw. So what we were focused on is just reducing the price to $199. We don't need to add new stuff. We need to get the price down where everyone can afford it." (link)
But according to AppleInsider's Kasper Jade, citing unnamed sources familiar with Apple's decision making process, that's simple not true. "While AppleInsider appreciates the company co-founder's play at damage control," writes Jade, "it's a tough sell."<!-- more -->
"Like the nano," writes Jade, "people familiar with the matter maintain that initial plans for the new iPod touch called for a camera akin to the iPhone's. Manufacturing tooling was prepped and specifications issued some time ago."
Jade notes that an extensive analysis of the cost of adding a camera to the touch would have been done months -- if not years -- in advance and submitted for approval to roughly two dozen members of Apple's top brass.
"According to those familiar with situation," Jade reports, "management gave the green light to equip the latest-gen touches with cams last year. But problems, as AppleInsider reported earlier in the week, began to crop up with the third party camera sensors Apple took receipt of earlier this year.
"After several passes through quality assurance were met with less than stellar results in the time leading up to Wednesday's event, an executive decision was made a month ago to pull the cameras from the touches altogether, others familiar with the situation say." (link)
In other words, it was a bad part, not cost or marketing considerations, that kept the camera off the iPod touches introduced this week.
According to Jade, Apple is still committed to equipping the funnest iPod with a camera, and new devices with the added capability could arrive unexpectedly at any time.

There was this guy who kept talking to me. He kept telling me how beautiful I was and he kept asking if we could hang out. I would constantly give him the same answer which was that I didn't feel comfortable hanging out with him. He kept asking for my number. How do I nicely tell a guy that I'm not interested? And if most guys say how beautiful you are and ask for your number, are their intention only for sex?
Most Helpful Guy
Anytime a guy is paying you any attention, his ultimate intention is sex. Now, he may or may not ALSO want a relationship to one degree or another, but in almost any case, a guy showing attention to an attractive girl is about sex. Guys are genetically programmed that way from millions of years of evolution.
This isn't a BAD thing, it just IS. It's only bad if you don't know how to handle it, and let yourself get used for sex when you don't want to.00|00|0
lol I'm saving sex for marriage so I don't think that would happen either way. But I didn't know how to handle the situation as usually when I tell people I dont feel comfortable talking to people I don't know, they usually respect that and leave me alone. But he just wouldn't leave me alone
- Show AllShow Less
I've met christian guys who are also saving sex for marriage. And as for the other thing, I do interract with guys, just not random guys in the subways who constantly ask for my number. I'm not in denial, but I just don't want anything to start before I'm ready and comfortable
Even christian guys who are saving sex for marriage are still MOTIVATED by sex.
But, yeah, I get that you weren't comfortable with a random guy on the subway, and that's just fine. You're probably best off sticking with the christian guys anyway - they're more likely to be compatible with you.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani comedian Alamzeb Mujahid had bad news for his fans after being freed by Islamist militants who kidnapped him in Peshawar city last month.
"I'm retiring from showbiz," Mujahid, whose stage name is Janaan, told a news conference without going into details about either the kidnapping or his reasons for quitting the stage.
Friends and colleagues were less circumspect.
They say Mujahid, an ethnic Pashtun, was kidnapped by Islamist vigilantes hell-bent on imposing Taliban-style values in North West Frontier Province (NWFP), a volatile region bordering Afghanistan.
A veteran of hundreds of theater and television plays, the slim, clean shaven 38-year-old actor has begun growing a beard for his life after comedy.
Reluctant to speak about his life-changing experience, Mujahid told Reuters he was joining Tablighi Jamaat, a Muslim missionary group, to preach religion.
"God has fed me before and will continue to feed me now," he said solemnly.
Mujahid was lucky.
Others who have fallen foul of militant morality squads, didn't get a second chance.
Catalog OF MURDER
In January, a woman dancer, Shabana, was dragged onto the street and shot in the center of Mingora, a town in Swat, a valley about 130 km (80 miles) north of the capital Islamabad where militants are virtually in complete control.
Gunmen tried to kill Pashtun singer Sardar Yousafzai in Dir district as he returned home after performing at a wedding party in December. He escaped but his harmonium player, Anwar Gul, was killed and four other people were wounded in the attack.
The climate for anyone associated with the entertainment industry in the region turned hostile after Islamist parties rode to power in NWFP on a wave of anti-American sentiment following the U.S.-led invasion of neighboring Afghanistan in late 2001.
The disapproving Islamist parties banned music on public transport and had movie posters featuring women torn down.
Militants went a lot further.
At first, music shops in tribal areas such as Waziristan were blown up and then attacks spread across the northwest as the Islamist tide radiated outwards, toward cities and towns.
Last June, gun-totting Taliban fighters roamed Peshawar, the provincial capital, in pick-up trucks, warning music shop owners to close their businesses or face the consequences.
The sight of them sent a shock wave through Pakistan three months after a civilian government had come to power, and security forces were ordered to launch an operation.
Since then more tribal regions and districts of the NWFP have become the stomping grounds of militants.
The army has conducted offensives in tribal regions such as Bajaur and Mohmand. While advances are made in some areas insecurity worsens in others. Peshawar is no exception.
The defeat of Islamist parties in NWFP following an election a year ago raised hopes that the northwest would again become a safe place to sing, dance and make people laugh.
But the secular Pashtun party now heading the provincial government has been unable to deliver despite good intentions.
Syed Aqil Shah, provincial minister for sports and culture, said everyone needs to stand up against the militants.
"It's wrong to assume that only the government can handle it," said Shah. "The entire population and the civil society have to confront these threats."
People don't want to wind up dead, though.
Several singers and musicians have already fled abroad, and others plan to follow.
"I'm scared of leaving my home. Even if I go out, my wife keeps calling to check on me," said one singer, who asked for his name to be withheld for fear of reprisal by militants.
"We are very scared. That's why I am planning to go abroad."
Others have simply found safer ways to earn money for their families.
"Ninety percent of the music is dead," said a musician, reduced to selling fruit and vegetables for a living.
Beside him lay his harmonium gathering dust.

2015 saw a lot of milestones in the craft beer world - perhaps the most notable being the number of craft breweries in the United States surpassed the historic high set in 1873, topping 4,100. But along with that rapid expansion, there was also a consolidation of sorts this year that could set the tone for and alter the landscape in the year to come.
Merger mania hit the craft beer world in 2016. And, ironically, it's the fusion of two giants that could have the biggest impact on smaller beer makers. The pending $107 billion merger of Anheuser-Busch InBev (bud) and SABMiller (sab) could create a monolithic distribution system that will have long-term repercussions in the industry, even if that impact isn't felt for years.
But the mega-brewers merger was just the cap on a year full of M&A. Take a look at some of the big deals that have been announced this year.
- Elysian Brewing acquired by AB InBev - January 23
- Full Sail Brewing acquired by PE firm Encore Consumer Capital - March 9
- Oskar Blues Brewery sells majority stake to private equity firm Fireman Capital Partners - May 22
- Firestone Walker combines operations with Duvel Moortgat – July 17
- Ballast Point bought by Constellation Brands - Nov. 16
- Lagunitas sells 50% ownership stake to Heineken - Sept. 8
- Saint Archer swallowed by MillerCoors - Sept. 10
- Golden Road Brewing purchased by ABInBev - Sept. 23
- Arizona's largest craft brewery, Four Peaks Brewing sells to ABInBev - Dec. 18
There are many more, of course, and it's a safe bet 2016 will continue the trend as craft continues to gain market share - and breweries position themselves for strong, long-term positions. Reuters, in fact, has already reported that employee-owned New Belgium Brewing has hired Lazard Middle Market to look for a buyer, with a valuation of over $1 billion being floated.
"Craft has reached a stage where these small brewers are real businesses now and the [companies] both within and outside of the industry are taking an interest," says Bart Watson, staff economist of The Brewers Association.
A lot of this year's deals were driven by brewery owners looking to transition out of the industry or set their companies up for the future. Big brewers also became more aggressive. And private equity firms took a larger interest in the field.
So, perhaps the question is ask is what will be driving the 2016 acquisitions?
A lot depends on how things shake out with AB InBev and SABMiller. If the deal goes as expected and MolsonCoors takes over the U.S. operations of SABMiller, that company could become someone to watch.
"So far, MolsonCoors has only done one acquisition, but there's some possibility that the newly formed unit will be looking to invest a little differently," says Watson.
If so, it will be competing with Anheuser Busch (anhvf). While the company's Budweiser brand has made it a point to belittle craft brewing throughout 2015, it has continued to invest in and purchase proven (and popular) craft brewers rather than launching its own craft division. The newly-combined company's loss of the revenue from the Miiller and Coors brands could push it to more aggressively pursue craft creators.
Private equity is a bit more of a conundrum. While several firms have sunk money into breweries, they haven't spun them off yet. And it's possible interest could slow down until there's a sense of whether the investments pay off.
What should be especially interesting to keep an eye on as we go into 2016 is what sort of price tags get attached to these days. Constellation paid $1 billion for Ballast Point. And while the financial terms of the Lagunitas-Heineken deal weren't announced, the Wall Street Journal valued the California-based brewer at $800 million.
Those sorts of deals could be aberrations, with the power of the brand names being factored into the cost, but the pool of willing sellers - especially among 'name brand' craft brewers - is getting pretty shallow. As a result, potential buyers may need to pay more to woo them. So even if the total number of deals declines in 2016, the total value of them coulf, in fact, go up.
"This is a supply and demand situation," says Watson. "Most of the [brewers that were thought to be willing to sell] on the rumor tree have shaken loose."

Integrate Jotforms with a school (or any) database system?Asked by alexzanderdausch on January 13, 2016 at 04:10 PM
I am a Student Services Coordinator and jack of all trades at a vocational school that serves about 300 students per year. I discovered and started using JotForms just over a year ago and since then I have built and implemented some totally amazing forms to allow people to apply online and many other things, because of how awesome JotForms is. Recently, my school decided to transition to a database system called Blackbaud. This is a very heavy and non-user-freindly database system with just an awful form builder. I have been wrestling with it endlessly. All the while my Jotforms are looking great, working great and functioning correctly. Even though Blackbaud is usually integrated by a large team of people, I have been tasked with the integration all by myself. It is nearly impossible to do, given that I have like 5 other jobs here.
All of that being said, my question is this: Is there any sort of searchable database system I can send Jotform information to and integrate with the forms that are submitted in order to avoid moving away from JotForms and continuing with the awful and dreaded Blackbaud. I already integrate the application forms with Google spreadsheets, Drive, Constant Contact and PayPal. That's all well and good, but I need to be able to use a database system where I can see student profiles, differentiate between who is accepted, enrolled, finished, etc. Please advise on anything I can do.
JotForm Support
Hello Alex,
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Joform, that really puts a smile in our face. :)
Anyway, while we do not have a direct feature for that, we suggest to find a perfect service that meets your requirement and that allows Jotform integration over Zapier.

While I can't provide you a specific service that offers such feature, I suggest to consider these CRMs https://zapier.com/zapbook/#sort=popular&filter=crm.
Alternatively, you can also send Jotform to your MySQL database, this requires basic experience with PHP scripting. Guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/126-How-to-Insert-Update-Submissions-to-Your-MySQL-Database-Using-PHP
If there's anything else you need help with, please let us know and we'd be happy to help you.
Thank you so much!

Just recently Australia, not sure about the rest of the world, celebrated Earth Hour, when for one hour, lots of businesses and people turned off their lights. More can be found on the net. We as a family did just that; turned off the lights, turned off the puters, xbox's, tv's, etc., and we lit lots of candles and had to rely on each other for entertainment.

My girls love doing this. The call it their "Little House on the Prarie" time.
How fantastic!! Wow, the United States could REALLY make a difference if we, as a nation, turned off all electricity for an hour. And with the cost of crude oil being so high, you'd think someone would suggest it!
I think that is a WONDERFUL idea to turn off the electricity for the night, not only to save money, but also for the joy of spending time with the family! I don't have children yet, but I plan on using your idea when I do. Imagine how much families the world over could benefit by spending that time together, playing games and bonding.
PS- That's cute about "Little House on the Prairie" time. :)

About MeHello my name is Laura, and I am a aspiring plus size model. Modeling is something I have always wanted to try, but lacked confidents. I really believe that plus size modeling is something I was called to do, due to my life experience thus far. Being bullied all my life because of my size, and spending years fighting my body in order try to become something I was never meant to be a size 2. It has taken me sometime but with the help of God, and my mother, I have finally learned to accept myself completely. And I am proud to be a curvy chick. That goes with out saying however, that I would like to live a long and healthy life, so I am in the midst of losing weight I have a personal trainer, and I am taking charge of my eating habits. My goal is get down to a size 12 by the end of the year. I am looking to some practice working in front of the camera in order to build my portfolio, and find poses that really work for me. No compensation necessary. Questions just ask.

Ospreys may have become the first team in Guinness PRO12 history to have secured maximum points from the first three matches of a season, but head coach Steve Tandy is refusing to get carried away.
The Welsh side backed up their early wins against Zebre and Connacht with an nine-try 64-10 thrashing of Benetton Treviso on Saturday.
Treviso did well to keep Ospreys out for much of the first half until Ben John scored, which was the first of four tries in 15 minutes.
And the home side continued after the break as Dafydd Howells, Keelan Giles, Ma'afu Fia, Alun Wyn Jones and a penalty try added to Treviso's early-season woes as they sit bottom of the table.
Ospreys' start is in stark contrast to last season, where injuries and absent players hit them hard, but Tandy insists there is still much work to be done.
"It is just a start. We keep going back to last season and it is like people think we have miraculously found players who had dropped off the face of the earth," Tandy said.
"But there was a World Cup last year and we had 20 players away and picked up a few injuries so it is not miraculous why we have turned it around.
"Olly Cracknell, Rory Thornton and Sam Davies had an indifferent start to last season but they have come through that.
"Those guys have experienced tough learning and it has grounded them. And then you get two Canadian boys for the whole of pre-season.
"The majority of the group we have had for a long time now so it stands us in good stead, but it is only a start."
Fly-half Davies excelled at the Liberty Stadium, as he set up first-half tries for John and Jeff Hassler before making way for Dan Biggar – who made his first appearance of the season following an extended break after Wales' tour to New Zealand.
Biggar is expected to regain the No.10 shirt from Davies, but Tandy is adamant the 22-year-old still has a big part to play and will combine nicely with Biggar this season.
"Sam is doing really well. Let's not forget what Biggs has done in the past so let's not forget him but it is not about one game, it is about the season," he said.

Philip Gramm
Destiny (Expression) Number 3
Philip Gramm is a male celebrity.
He was born on Wednesday July 8th 1942, in Fort Bening, GA, USA,.
Philip Gramm is optimistic, inspiring, outgoing, and expressive. People see him as cheerful, positive and charming; his personality has a certain bounce and verve that so powerfully affects others that Philip can inspire people without effort.
All of this upward energy is a symptom of Philip Gramm's tremendous creativity. His verbal skills may well lead him into the fields of writing, comedy, theater, and music.
Three is the number of self-expression - rich in imagination and spirit. But Philip has to be careful not to scatter his talents. His bane is that he often lacks discipline and order in his life. Philip Gramm should avoid becoming a "happy-go-lucky" spendthrift, escaping responsibility and commitment. He must learn to concentrate and focus.
These are the keys to Philip's success. Philip Gramm has great potential in the arts and areas that requires creative solutions to problems. He is able to perform leaps of imagination, providing unconventional ideas as if they suddenly descended from above. Hard work and focus, however, are the foundation for a successful future.
Though Philip possesses great verbal skills, his mind tends to see life as pictures rather than in words. Yet, Philip Gramm has the ability to think abstractly.
Creativity is a sensitive faculty that is often suppressed in childhood. If Gramm lacks the confidence to pursue his ideas, he may divert his abilities into a scattering of trivial pursuits.
To overcome this problem, Philip Gramm must make a choice. He has to limit his field of vision and the number of activities he is engaged in, and bundle his energies into a single thrust. Philip must focus his life, and choose the area that he loves the most, and commit. There, Gramm will find success. And a great deal of happiness.
Love, romance, and money are within Philip Gramm's reach. He is aided by his friends and admirers. Often people appear out of nowhere to help him in key situations. Philip has to learn to accept the involvement of others in his life. He is not a loner, nor is he particularly independent. Philip Gramm is social - he needs an audience and the support of others to fully realize his abilities.
On the down-side, Philip can be superficial, moody, and intolerant. He is emotional and sensitive, sometimes presuming criticism where none was intended. Gramm can also be jealous and gossipy. He needs to beware of becoming cynical and sarcastic. These traits can suppress his natural creativity.
Philip must be goal-oriented. This is a practical, step-by-step approach to his larger ambitions. If so, Philip Gramm possesses the natural abilities to attain a high degree of excellence.

North Carolina Fuel Price Wars Heat Up
Neighborhood's ultra low prices prompt angry questions against Salisbury retailer who insists he's not gouging.
SALISBURY POST, N.C. -- With the price of gas soaring in Salisbury Post, N.C. and neighboring counties, convenience store retailer Terry Hill is being forced to defend his pricing strategy. "In a year's time, 80 percent of the gas I sell, I break even or lose money on it," said Hill, the owner and operator of Hill's Minnow Farm.
"I don't want people to think we're making a killing on gas because we're not. The storeowner is the last person who wants the price of gas to go up. That's what brings people in."
After the Salisbury (N.C.) Post published an informal survey of area gasoline prices, Hill was found to have one of the highest prices in the market. He said he was worried that customers may think local service station and convenience store operators are gouging drivers on the price of gas. That's anything but true, Hill said.
Based on the Post's survey and reader calls, the lowest gas price in the area is available at the Wilco-Hess in Kannapolis and Petro Express in Concord, N.C., where a gallon of regular unleaded sold for $1.249 this morning. By comparison, the cheapest price observed in Rowan County was $1.379 per gallon. Yesterday, the report said, a gallon of regular sold for $1.479 at Hill's Minnow Farm. And Hill said that even at that price, he's lucky to break even.
He presented an invoice from his supplier, Mid-State Petroleum, showing he paid almost $1.44 a gallon for his gasoline. Factor in rental payments for the pumps and electricity and Hill figures he's probably losing money on every gallon he sells. Gas sales that customers charge to credit cards are even more of a losing proposition, Hill said, because he's required to pay card companies 2.5 percent of every sale. "When the price of gas goes up, I really take a beating," Hill said. "I hold my prices down as long as I can. I don't want to be the first to raise my prices."
Hill said the price he pays for a gallon of gas has risen dramatically since the end of May when he was paying $1.30 for a gallon of regular. He said he's had numerous customers complain about the price of gasoline. They remind him that fuel can be had cheaper in Cabarrus County.
Hill said places like Petro Express and Wilco are engaged in price wars with neighboring stations and are pricing gas low to attract customers to buy other more expensive products.
"It's making us look bad," Hill said of Rowan County merchants who charge more. "I put gas in for a convenience for my customers. If people don't support us, why bother? I hate to see Rowan County lose the business. We need it."
Jerry Rose, vice president of finance for Mid-State Petroleum, Hill's supplier, agreed that any station operator who is selling gas for less than $1.30 a gallon is losing money. "Competition sometimes drives those prices down," he said. "They're trying to get customers in the door to buy other products."
Rose also agreed with Hill that service station and convenience store operators are doing anything but getting rich off the sale of gas.
"The profit margin is very slim," Rose said. "We sell it to our customers at a very slim markup, and they sell it to their customers at a very slim markup. They certainly don't make 8 cents a gallon or anything like that on it."
Tom Crosby, a spokesman for AAA Carolinas, said instances like those in Kannapolis where dealers sell gas at a loss are rare but not unheard of. "It's just an old-fashioned gas price war," he said. "They're trying to lure customers in."

InVigor started with the idea that the exceptional genetic potential of canola could be harnessed by creating a hybrid of two genetically superior parental lines. In 1997 the first InVigor hybrid was launched on 20,000 acres in Canada. Today, InVigor represents over half the canola acres in Canada and is now a household name on the farm.
Our continued promise to you is to provide you with superior performing hybrids. From the ongoing technology investment and exceptional genetics to the incredible personal dedication of our entire team, this promise of minimizing risk and increasing yield continues today.
We remain committed to the success of Canadian growers through relentless innovation, the highest quality control standards and unparalleled production practices. Throughout each step of the way, our passionate team of InVigor experts continues to push the boundaries of performance.
There is a dramatic change in the wind in the way growers approach their canola harvest! Bayer is predicting that by 2020, as much as 40% to 50% of canola in Western Canada will be straight cut.
The benefits of delayed swathing or straight cutting are numerous, but the biggest advantage of pod shatter reduction technology is the added flexibility you gain. With the enhanced yield protection, giving you more freedom and flexibility when making crucial harvest management decisions.
Canola hybrids with the patented Pod Shatter Reduction technology will continue to enable growers to take advantage of straight cutting. This technology allows the pods to fill for a longer period of time resulting in larger seeds, a fuller pod and potential for lower green seed counts. Furthermore, this may also reduce the amount of volunteer canola in your fields by ensuring the seeds end up in your bin, minimizing management challenges in future years.
When planning to straight cut, use these tips for best results:
Clubroot is a devastating disease and can cause major yield loss. Implementing an integrated pest management system using a hybrid with built-in resistance is an excellent tool to help manage the disease. Maximize and protect the potential of your crop with InVigor L135C and InVigor L241C. Each hybrid has been engineered to help prevent clubroot development.
As part of an integrated pest management strategy for clubroot disease in canola, InVigor L135C and InVigor L241C have been developed to be resistant to the predominant clubroot pathotypes identified in Canada at the time of their registration.
In the field environment, clubroot populations may contain or develop additional pathotypes such as 5X to which InVigor L135C, InVigor L241C and other clubroot-resistant canola hybrids with similar resistance profiles could be susceptible. New pathotypes may become dominant in the clubroot population if canola hybrids with similar resistance profiles are used repeatedly in the same field. To maximize the durability of genetic resistance in canola hybrids, appropriate integrated pest management strategies should be followed.
While clubroot resistant hybrids may be a good tool we have to manage this disease, it is important that we use it in conjunction with other strategies to prevent the breakdown of resistance. Bayer CropScience continues to recommend that an intensive pest management strategy be employed when growing InVigor L135C and InVigor L241C to prevent resistance breakdown and further spread of the disease. Bayer CropScience supports the Canola Council of Canada's agronomic recommendations when growing these InVigor hybrids.

InVigor Choice LR250 is the first InVigor Choice hybrid with this innovative technology, which will combine the exceptional yield performance of an InVigor with built-in industry-leading herbicide trait technologies LibertyLink® from Bayer and Genuity® Roundup Ready® from Monsanto.
InVigor Choice may not fit all cropping rotations; we encourage you to consult with your local retail and agronomist to decide where InVigor Choice can best benefit your operation.
InVigor Choice LR250 is the first canola hybrid of its kind; providing growers the ability to control the toughest weeds on their farm without sacrificing yield.
As part of our ongoing commitment to the sustainability of Canadian agriculture, Bayer makes a substantial investment into the research and development of NEW InVigor hybrids annually. Our goal is to bring new innovations and technologies into the marketplace that will help maximize grower profits and minimize their risk.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is InVigor Choice important for Canadian canola growers?
Does this increase the risk of glyphosate resistance on my farm?
I am concerned about controlling volunteer canola in subsequent years?
Why is Bayer interested in InVigor Choice canola hybrids?

Bayer CropScience Inc. and MONSANTO are members of Excellence Through Stewardship® ("ETS"). InVigor Choice is commercialized in accordance with the ETS Guide for Product Launch Stewardship. The biotechnology traits expressed in InVigor Choice have achieved full regulatory authorizations in Canada and certain export markets with deemed functioning regulatory systems. Grain from InVigor Choice must not be exported without all necessary approvals in the importing country.

Our Demonstration Strip Trials are managed by real growers in their own fields, using their own equipment and practices. All trials are replicated on the same field to maximize the validity of the results. Each trial is also monitored to ensure all herbicide, fungicide and insecticide applications and swathing are appropriately timed. Hybrid varieties are only compared to one another when grown at common sites.
Cross pollination in your canola field is a normal occurrence in Western Canada. Therefore, volunteer canola can contain more than one herbicide-tolerant trait, regardless of the herbicide tolerance system(s) that have previously been grown. Volunteer canola should be actively managed and there are multiple options available to control volunteer canola of all herbicide tolerances.
For more information, check out the Canola Council of Canada's recommendations on controlling volunteer canola.

Want to use almond cream cheese pound cake for DS's birthday cake. Planning to use strawberry filling.
I know that a whipped bc would be good with it (think strawberry shortcake) but need a stiffer icing that will color & pipe well so I am considering using the wedding-crusting cream cheese icing recipe submitted by aztomcat.
My question is ...will using cream cheese frosting on a cake that contains cream cheese be too much? WWYD?
For anyone who would NOT use the crm cheese frosting...which whipped bc recipe would you use?
As always thanks for the help!
Naw....... as I remember the cm ch flavor isn't the much in the b'cream.
Thanks! I'll try it and see what happens. I am tired of making plain ole white cakes filled with vanilla pudding...LOL!
As far as I can remember the pound cake doesn't have a distinct cream cheese flavor either...just adds richness.
Will update after this weekend with the results...my family & DH's will be here for the party and neither is afraid to voice their opinions!

Updated at 5:37 a.m. Eastern
A team of U.N. chemical weapons inspectors returned Wednesday to the Syrian capital of Damascus to complete their investigation into "pending credible allegations" of chemical weapons use in Syria's civil war.
A report following the inspectors' previous trip said the nerve agent sarin was used in an August attack near Damascus.
The team spent three days at the beginning of September gathering evidence in Damascus' eastern Ghouta suburbs after that attack, and and published a report which the U.S. and its allies called conclusive proof that Assad's regime was behind the attack. Russia dismissed the report as "politicized, preconceived and one-sided."
The White House has said the attack killed 1,400 people, while activist groups have given significantly lower death tolls, but still in the hundreds.
The other sites, one of which is the town of Khan al-Assal outside the northern city of Aleppo, were meant to have been the focus of the inspection team's first mission to Syria, but they were in the country when the Ghouta attack occurred and quickly changed their mandate to assess the fresher evidence at hand.
Russia and Syria have argued that the U.S. and its allies jumped to quickly to their conclusions that Assad's military was behind the Ghouta attack, and that evidence from the other alleged chemical weapons incidents -- all of which have been smaller -- will support their claim that rebel fighters do have access to and the ability to use lethal toxins, including sarin gas.
Meanwhile, the top U.S. and Russian diplomats met Tuesday at U.N. headquarters in hopes of working out the details of a deal to have Syria give up its chemical weapons -- a deal which, for the time being, has staved off the threat of an imminent U.S. military strike.
CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan said there's been very little progress since the framework of the deal was agreed by Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Geneva almost two weeks ago. The U.N. meeting ran nearly two hours and there was a lot to discuss.
Kerry and Lavrov arrived for the meeting with sharp differences over the terms of the deal and how to enforce it. Hours before the men met, Lavrov's deputy told Russian lawmakers in Moscow that negotiations on the U.N. resolution to lay out the details of the deal were "not going so smoothly."
"Unfortunately it's necessary to note that in contacts with the Americans, things are not going so smoothly ... they are not quite going in the direction they should," said Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.
The Obama administration has called Russia's public statements since the initial Geneva meeting counterproductive.

Illustrator takes his passion & business to the next level
Posted by Ilise Benun on
Today's post and illustration are from illustrator Iain Keith of
I started a specialty art business in Canada's Atlantic provinces while in the thrall of recession. I had no formal education or experience, no money or credit, and a serious focus issue. Everyone said I was crazy, no one thought I would, could, or should do this. Indeed without ardent support of the universe, family & friends and a nigh psychotic bloody minded stubbornness I would never have made it through.
I am absolutely packed with passion for what I do and corresponding skills but the ability to market myself was beyond me, not to mention I was a terrible planner which was moot as I did not truly know what I want, I felt I was lost in the dark woods and sliding faster and faster downhill hitting every branch on the way, I started to finally acknowledge I may have to finally throw in the towel.
Enter Ilise. In one fell swoop she asked the questions to which I needed to find answers, got a sense of
who I was & where I was going, and prescribed step by step directions to get where I now knew I wanted to go. She is warm, open, encouraging but firm. If she's not some kind of marketing genius, I can't tell. She is currently arguably the most valuable resource to me in my business. She called in the dark while I was sliding down so I had a reference point, she found out where I wanted to go even though I didn't know, and held a lamp up to the path to guide me.
Since then things have been moving along so much I can barely keep up…I'm still rushing along but it's to a destination of my choosing which I can clearly see. Ilise is there in moments of crisis and calm, for advice or encouragement. I no longer feel so alone and I am renewed and revitalised in my endeavors to take my passion through to the next level, a new vista of opportunity.
Ilise taught me that money is nothing more or less than currency, by sharing my value instead of my time with others in exchange for this currency actually adds to my worth rather than subtracting, and how to build a network of relationships that is a community that fosters my ability to share my value with the world at large.

I'm going to be honest, I'm hideous. And before yo say"Oh, no you're not." I am. It's like my genetics fucked me up. To make things worse, I'm really shy. I feel awkward and inferior compared to others, especially prettier girls. So, because of this, I only have a few friends.
Most Helpful Guy
Most Helpful Girl
I think it's safe to say that most girls feel "ugly" at 14. I know I did, and sometimes I still feel self conscious at times. But that's normal.
What isn't good is allowing yourself to feel like other girls are prettier, and therefore, more deserving of positive attention. It simply is not true, and man, do I wish I could go back in time and teach my 14 year old self that! For a long time, I was friends with a girl who got allll the looks from guys, and seemed to have girls flocking to be friends with her. I tried everything to make myself into what I thought other people would like. But then it dawned on me... the ONLY thing she had that I didn't, was a heck of a lot of self confidence. She talked about herself in a positive light at all times... and there I was, the shy friend who thought the best way to attract people was through self deprication.
So the first thing you need to do, is to get out of your head the notion that you are ugly. Cause I'm willing to bet that you aren't. Also, I know it's easier said than done, but try your best to carry yourself with more confidence. Never talk yourself down, because in my experience, people are more likely to take advantage of your insecurities than they are to be understanding. Girls and guys alike gravitate toward positivity. So forget about the other girls, and work on loving yourself first. Never be afraid to show anyone your worth. You will save yourself a lot of heartache the sooner you come to that realization!
I hope I've helped. Stay strong :)00|00|0

What is the cash back limit at Walmart using various payment methods?
Cash back, sometimes known as "cash over" or simply "cashback", means stores will give you cash back when you check out. It's a well-loved method of getting quick cash because it means not having to find an ATM and potentially pay a fee. Stores never charge customers who want cash back. In this article, we're looking at how cash back works at Walmart.
In This Article

Can You Get Cash Back with a Debit Card at Walmart?
Can You Get Cash Back with a Credit Card at Walmart?
Can You Get Cash Back at Walmart Using a Check?
What's the Cash Back Limit at Walmart?
How Else Can I Get Cash at Walmart?
Similar Stores That Offer Cash Back
What's the Cash Back Limit at Walmart?
The cash back limit is imposed by your card! This means you can get $100 cash back at Walmart per transaction (which, again, may vary by Walmart location), but you can make multiple transactions until your card shuts you off. Getting $500+ cash back is entirely possible with five separate transactions, for instance.
You'll also be limited by how much you have in your account (although if you have an arranged overdraft you'll be able to get cash back even if it takes you into that).
You'll also be limited by exactly how much cash in in the register. You may have to go to a different register to keep withdrawing cash.
For more details on withdrawing larger sums of money, check out our post about how much cash you can get from an ATM.
How to Get Cash Back at Walmart Using a Debit Card
Getting cash back with a debit card is simple.
- Take your purchase (which can be as small as a pack of gum, providing there is no minimum payment necessary to use your debit card – which is rare) to the cash register at Walmart. Most self-checkouts allow for cash back however certain locations have self-checkout machines that do not offer this option. The only way to know for certain if you can get cash back using the a self-checkout lane at a certain Walmart is to call ahead or give it a try. For the guaranteed method, go to a human checkout lane.
- Swipe your card and the card reader machine will ask if you'd like cash back
- You'll pay pay for your purchase and the cash back in one transaction (i.e. $0.60 plus $60 cash back means your card will be charged $60.60)
- The extra $60 will given to you in cash (you choose the denomination of the bills)
- Your bank account will be debited the full amount
How to Get Cash Back at Walmart Using a Credit Card
As credit cards are usually not designed for cash withdrawals, you won't normally find this option when swiping them in-store. And if they do, most charge a cash-advance fee which begins accruing interest right away. This is a very expensive option and typically far more expensive than just paying an ATM fee.
But if your credit card does allow cash withdrawals, it'll work in the exact same way as with a debit card (see above).
One such credit card that does allow you to get cash back (and at no extra cost!) is with Discover. Using a Discover card, you can get cash back at tons of stores: Walmart, Sam's Club, Albertson's, Kroger, Dollar General, Food Lion, ShopRite, etc (see complete list below). Again, there are no additional fees when getting cash back with this card.
How to Get Cash Back Using a Check
To get cash back when paying by check, you simply need to write your check for the amount of your purchase + the amount of cash back you'd like up to $20. You cannot get more than $20 in cash back using a check at Walmart. To get more cash back, you either need to break up your purchase into multiple transactions and get $20 back with each purchase or you need to use a different payment method.
What's the Cash Back Limit at Walmart?
There is a maximum cash back limit at Walmart of $100 while using a debit or credit card. For checks, the cash back limit is $20. (Note that it's technically up to individual Walmart stores to set the policy for cash back limits, so the restrictions may be different at your local store. We recommend asking a cashier about the maximum cash back limit at that location to be certain.)
This can be issued in multiples of $20 — meaning you can get either $20, $40, $60, $80 or $100 per transaction. If you need more than $100 in cash back at Walmart, make separate transactions. The only problem you may run into is hitting your credit limit or hitting your debit card transaction limit for the day.
How Else Can I Get Cash at Walmart?
Besides using an in-store ATM, you can always get cash at the Customer Service desk. A fee of $3 is applied to get cash up to and including $1,000. The fee goes up to $6 if you want over $1,000 but $5,000 is the maximum. Although this method has a cost associated, it is easier and faster than making multiple transactions get get more than $100 in cash back. Though at these rates, you may just as well use an ATM.
Similar Stores That Offer Cash Back
Yes! It works virtually the same at most major retailers and even some smaller ones. The amount you can receive will be different – sometimes more, sometimes less than Walmart. Some places will even let you withdraw in other multiples of cash, not just $20 increments. Here are similar stores that offer cash back:
- Vons
- Village Super Market
- Food Lion
- Marianos
- JayC

In Summary
The cash back limit at Walmart is $100. To get more than $100, simply purchase your items with separate transactions. Can you get cash back with a credit card at Walmart? With a Discover card, yes. But most cards don't allow cash back. Can you get cash back with a debit card at Walmart? Yes. Just remember to watch out for maximum cash withdrawal limits your bank imposes. Can you get cash back with a check at Walmart? Yes. Getting cash back at Walmart is a great idea – more people should take advantage.

Its demonstration videos to show how to code "Hello world" program in Java using Eclipse IDE.
Java has 50 keywords; we have checked and discussed these keywords in this video.
Naming Conventions
1. Class names should be capitalized
2. Interface names should be capitalized like class names.
3. Methods should be verbs, in mixed case with the first letter lowercase, with the first letter of each internal word capitalized.
4. Variables: Lowercase first letter. Internal words start with capital letters.
5. Package name should be in lowercase letter
6. Constants name should be in uppercase letter.
Variables are constants are basic building block of any programming language, In this video we are going to check the same with respect with Java.
How Java decides, how much memory to occupy for a data. Data type is the answer. Data type is basic building block of any programming language.
Primitive Data Types
byte: The
byte data type is an 8-bit signed two's complement integer. It has a minimum value of -128 and a maximum value of 127 (inclusive). The
byte data type can be useful for saving memory in large arrays, where the memory savings actually matters. They can also be used in place of
int where their limits help to clarify your code; the fact that a variable's range is limited can serve as a form of documentation.
short: The
short data type is a 16-bit signed two's complement integer. It has a minimum value of -32,768 and a maximum value of 32,767 (inclusive). As with
byte, the same guidelines apply: you can use a
short to save memory in large arrays, in situations where the memory savings actually matters.
int: By default, the
int data type is a 32-bit signed two's complement integer, which has a minimum value of -231 and a maximum value of 231-1. In Java SE 8 and later, you can use the
int data type to represent an unsigned 32-bit integer, which has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 232-1. Use the Integer class to use
int data type as an unsigned integer. See the section The Number Classes for more information. Static methods like
divideUnsigned etc have been added to the
Integer class to support the arithmetic operations for unsigned integers.
long: The
long data type is a 64-bit two's complement integer. The signed long has a minimum value of -263 and a maximum value of 263-1. In Java SE 8 and later, you can use the
long data type to represent an unsigned 64-bit long, which has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 264-1. Use this data type when you need a range of values wider than those provided by
int. The
Long class also contains methods like
divideUnsigned etc to support arithmetic operations for unsigned long.
float: The
float data type is a single-precision 32-bit IEEE 754 floating point. Its range of values is beyond the scope of this discussion, but is specified in the Floating-Point Types, Formats, and Values section of the Java Language Specification. As with the recommendations for
byte and
short, use a
float (instead of
double) if you need to save memory in large arrays of floating point numbers. This data type should never be used for precise values, such as currency. For that, you will need to use the java.math.BigDecimal class instead. Numbers and Strings covers
BigDecimal and other useful classes provided by the Java platform.
double: The
double data type is a double-precision 64-bit IEEE 754 floating point. Its range of values is beyond the scope of this discussion, but is specified in the Floating-Point Types, Formats, and Values section of the Java Language Specification. For decimal values, this data type is generally the default choice. As mentioned above, this data type should never be used for precise values, such as currency.
boolean: The
boolean data type has only two possible values:
true and
false. Use this data type for simple flags that track true/false conditions. This data type represents one bit of information, but its "size" isn't something that's precisely defined.
char: The
char data type is a single 16-bit Unicode character. It has a minimum value of
'\u0000' (or 0) and a maximum value of
'\uffff' (or 65,535 inclusive).
Non-primitive—which include Classes, Interfaces, and Arrays.
Here is a demonstration video on , How we make using of variable under Java.
In this video we have discussed on Java laterals. Here is a documentation provided by oracle.
You may have noticed that the
new keyword isn't used when initializing a variable of a primitive type. Primitive types are special data types built into the language; they are not objects created from a class. A literal is the source code representation of a fixed value; literals are represented directly in your code without requiring computation. As shown below, it's possible to assign a literal to a variable of a primitive type:
boolean result = true; char capitalC = 'C'; byte b = 100; short s = 10000; int i = 100000;
An integer literal is of type
long if it ends with the letter
L or
l; otherwise it is of type
int. It is recommended that you use the upper case letter
L because the lower case letter
l is hard to distinguish from the digit
Values of the integral types
int, and
long can be created from
int literals. Values of type
long that exceed the range of
int can be created from
long literals. Integer literals can be expressed by these number systems:
For general-purpose programming, the decimal system is likely to be the only number system you'll ever use. However, if you need to use another number system, the following example shows the correct syntax. The prefix
0x indicates hexadecimal and
0b indicates binary:
// The number 26, in decimal int decVal = 26; // The number 26, in hexadecimal int hexVal = 0x1a; // The number 26, in binary int binVal = 0b11010;
A floating-point literal is of type
float if it ends with the letter
F or
f; otherwise its type is
double and it can optionally end with the letter
D or
The floating point types (
float and
double) can also be expressed using E or e (for scientific notation), F or f (32-bit float literal) and D or d (64-bit double literal; this is the default and by convention is omitted).
double d1 = 123.4; // same value as d1, but in scientific notation double d2 = 1.234e2; float f1 = 123.4f;
Literals of types
char and
String may contain any Unicode (UTF-16) characters. If your editor and file system allow it, you can use such characters directly in your code. If not, you can use a "Unicode escape" such as
'\u0108' (capital C with circumflex), or
"S\u00ED Se\u00F1or"(Sí Señor in Spanish). Always use 'single quotes' for
char literals and "double quotes" for
String literals. Unicode escape sequences may be used elsewhere in a program (such as in field names, for example), not just in
char or
String literals.
The Java programming language also supports a few special escape sequences for
char and
String literals:
\b (backspace),
\t (tab),
\n (line feed),
\f (form feed),
\r (carriage return),
\" (double quote),
\' (single quote), and
\\ (backslash).
There's also a special
null literal that can be used as a value for any reference type.
null may be assigned to any variable, except variables of primitive types. There's little you can do with a
null value beyond testing for its presence. Therefore,
null is often used in programs as a marker to indicate that some object is unavailable.
Finally, there's also a special kind of literal called a class literal, formed by taking a type name and appending "
.class"; for example,
String.class. This refers to the object (of type
Class) that represents the type itself.
In Java SE 7 and later, any number of underscore characters (
_) can appear anywhere between digits in a numerical literal. This feature enables you, for example. to separate groups of digits in numeric literals, which can improve the readability of your code.
For instance, if your code contains numbers with many digits, you can use an underscore character to separate digits in groups of three, similar to how you would use a punctuation mark like a comma, or a space, as a separator.
The following example shows other ways you can use the underscore in numeric literals:
long creditCardNumber = 1234_5678_9012_3456L; long socialSecurityNumber = 999_99_9999L; float pi = 3.14_15F; long hexBytes = 0xFF_EC_DE_5E; long hexWords = 0xCAFE_BABE; long maxLong = 0x7fff_ffff_ffff_ffffL; byte nybbles = 0b0010_0101; long bytes = 0b11010010_01101001_10010100_10010010;
You can place underscores only between digits; you cannot place underscores in the following places:
F or
L suffix
Demonstration video where the author has shown literals in action.
Type casting is a basic but very important operation. Here is what author needs to say about what type casting actually is.
As we know what is typecasting, let's check the type casting using primitive data type in action.
When it's come to user input in Java, it's little different when we compare programming language like C, C++, Php. Let's check how to take user input in Java.
An operator is a symbol that tells the compiler to perform specific mathematical or logical
Types of operators
1. Relational Operators
2. Misc. Operators
3. Logical Operators
4. Arithmetic Operators
5. Bitwise Operators
6. Assignment Operators
7. instanceof Operator
Demonstration video for usage of Increment/Decrement operator as postfix and prefix. Concept is simple and good to know. Let's check!
Decision making is about deciding the order of execution of code in program depending upon the
condition. In java programming decision making is done by following mechanism.
1. if statement
2. Switch statement
3. Conditional Operator
Let check the IF condition first!
