KL Minardi Asiatech drivers Mark Webber and Anthony Davidson today kicked off their preparations for this Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix in positive fashion. Both men worked through the full technical programmes specified for today, including the normal tyre comparison runs.
The team's new signing, Davidson, who makes his Formula One debut for KL Minardi Asiatech at the Hungaroring this weekend, covered the greatest number of laps of any competitor in the course of Friday's two one-hour sessions, despite suffering a gearbox problem at the end of the morning. This was rectified during the lunch break, and the 23-year-old Briton was able to carry on climbing the steep Formula One learning curve during the afternoon. Davidson and Webber both reported making good progress fine-tuning the handling of their cars for Saturday's all-important qualifying session.
"I'm really happy that I managed to keep the car on the track today and did the most number of laps. I'm still learning the circuit, along with everything else, and I don't yet feel totally at home in the car, so there is definitely lots more to come. Anyway, I'm glad to have the first day of my first Formula One weekend under my belt without any dramas."
"It has been a pretty good day. We got through our normal programme for Friday, and compared the tyres, which is not a hard decision this weekend: it looks like the soft tyre is definitely the way to go. We had our race fuel load in, as normal, and are looking forward to qualifying tomorrow, which should be quite exciting for us."
PAUL STODDART, Team Principal
"It has been an excellent day at the office. Both KL Minardi Asiatech drivers ran their quota of laps and completed their technical programmes for the day. We're pleased to welcome Anthony to the team for the next two races, and are particularly proud of the job he did today. It is all the more commendable when one considers he had not driven the car before this morning's first practice session."
"It also has to be said he was lucky that the one technical problem he had occurred at the end of the first session rather than at the beginning of the second. This provided the mechanics with sufficient time to sort the matter and get Anthony back on track to complete his running. While on a different programme today to Anthony, Mark put in his usual solid performance, snapping at the heels of the manufacturer-backed teams. We now look forward to a solid performance from both drivers in qualifying tomorrow."
The Asiatech engines displayed their customary reliability, helping both KL Minardi Asiatech drivers, in particular, Anthony Davidson, to rack up an impressive number of laps in today's practice sessions.
Position: 19th
Fastest lap: 1 min 19.490 secs

We balked outside the hotel. "No way this is it…" I said, double taking the lounge on the other side of the glass: the maroon wallpaper and plush carpet were seething with money. It was really cold out on the street, however, and we'd just come all the way in from Astoria to midtown to see what our friend promised was a "cover-free Gypsy Jazz" night.
Pushing through the revolving doors the hotel lobby stank of perfume, like it was someone's job to spray some kind of Chanel "eau-du-butt" everywhere. My mind immediately wondered who took a stinky poop and was paying for the privilege of a large cover up.
The lounge was even worse. Walking in I felt highly conscious of my cotton T-shirt and BEACON High school sweatshirt that I quickly and awkwardly pulled over my unwashed hair. Jackson and I chose a place in front of the musicians who were sound checking. I sat down on what can only be described as a bed-chair. The kind of bench that is so big you debate weather to slouch down or sit straight up because there is no middle ground. I went for the full slouch and tried to pretend I had a lot of money.
Looking around the room I saw nothing but up-scale douche, and like the eau-de-butt smell, I kept getting the feeling that someone was farting, but was too rich to let others smell it. I fingered my engagement ring and adjusted my coat, trying not to let the leather seat slip me onto the floor.
One beautiful waitress after another waited on us. I ordered a Tawny 12 year port that arrived in the smallest, longest, most grotesque port glass I'd ever seen. I laughed when the waitress brought it over. "This is so not me," I whispered to Jackson, he glanced back at me with his untrimmed bed-head hair and cotton V-neck and agreed.
The funny thing about gypsy jazz is that it wasn't meant to be played to a room full of farting rich people. It was a music meant for people to make songs about the wealthy and laugh at them. It struck me as ironic that this incredible 4 piece band was playing romping tunes of the poor on their stringed instruments to the super rich, only to go home to their modest apartments in the outer boroughs later that night stinking of the terrible perfume and thumbing the cash they made. I, however, was sitting on the bed-bench getting tipsier and tipsier and wishing I was surrounded by like-minded young adults with a big plate of cheese in front of me, sitting somewhere with a roaring fire, the smell of roast pork and a lot of not-so-rich people; instead of sipping a new 16 dollar cocktail.
Luckily, my wish for more like-minded people came true as more friends showed up, forming a group of rag-tag "kids" sipping their 9 dollar beers and tapping their fingers to the jazz.
I got up to use the bathroom at one point, casually walking to the toilet past over-sized vases of purple flowers that one musician mistakenly called Lavender (but they weren't… I don't know what they were, honestly) when I walked past what looked like a large blob of white semen hanging from the ceiling. If this didn't get everyone's attention in the hotel, then I don't know what could. I literally stopped in my tracks and stared and the (what do I call this thing, statue?) blob and stared. "What the fuck?" I said to no one, inhaling another round of heady eau-du-butt. I laughed, the sound of the gypsy jazz floating out from the lounge and reminding me that I had to pee.
After coming back from my hiatus at the women's room (where, by the way, one can watch themselves pee into the toilet in large room-sized mirrors!!) I turned to Jackson and remarked that when we do eventually get ridiculously wealthy, I never want to come to places where my farts don't small and odes to God's white and holy cum drip from the ceiling. Nope.

With the NHS funding and rationing debate intensifying the financial pressures more intense than before. And with renewed warnings about the dire state of NHS finances. The deficit being onerously placed on Councils and council tax rises to cover social care funding is it any wonder that we are facing Care in Crisis?
Now, in a report published today we hear how Bereaved families are being 'let down by NHS'. Something the The Edith Ellen Foundation picked up on in our first report published, and provided to the CQC.
The CQC do not need another review, they need action and Care Staff need regulated ongoing training.
When our vulnerable fear care is not there to support them, this is the time to change from the old ways and to improve the Kindness in Care.
NHS deaths not dealt with properly, however what about all the deaths in care homes, how many of these are avoidable and through wilful neglect? The families that dare ask questions get given notice. How many Autopsies would show this, and how many will actually put the honest cause of death?
NHS deaths not dealt with properly, however what about all the deaths in care homes, how many of these are avoidable and through wilful neglect? The families that dare ask questions get given notice. How many Autopsies would show this, and how many will actually put the honest cause of death?
The Edith Ellen Foundation Kindness in Care is to serve the people and serve the people well.
The NHS investigations into patient deaths are inadequate, causing more suffering to bereaved families, families who are all too often shut out or left without clear answers.
Prominent recent cases include the deaths of Thomas Galligan, 79, who collapsed less than an hour after being discharged as well enough to return home. And the case of Patricia Fowler, 75, was left lying in pain in a cardiac ward for three days before she was seen by a consultant because she had the same first name as another patient. A death which was entirely preventable, but there had been failures in her care and neglect had contributed to it.
Key findings
- The level of acceptance and sense of inevitability when people with a learning disability or mental illness die early is too common
- There is no consistent national framework in place to support the NHS to investigate deaths
- A failure to prioritise learning from deaths so that action can be taken to improve care for future patients and their families
- Many carers and families do not find the NHS to be open or transparent
- Families and carers are not routinely told what their rights are when a relative dies, what will happen or how they can access support or advocacy
The CQC's review looked at NHS trusts in England providing acute, community and mental health services, placing a particular focus on people with mental health conditions and learning disabilities. But Everyone's unexpected death is as important as anyone else's, they should all be seen as unacceptable.
The CQC's Dr George Julian said: "We must learn from these families. Their trust, honesty and candour are an example to us all." But are the CQC actually listening the time has come to stop talking about learning lessons, to move beyond writing action plans and to actually make change happen.
When a loved one dies in care, knowing how and why they died is the very least a family should be able to expect.

Awful Handwriting Yr 4(6 Posts)
DD is 8 and in Yr 4. She has suspected dyslexia and has been screened for auditory processing problems which cause her massive issues with her spelling. She lacks confidence in spelling words so often looks at the word whilst writing which means she's not looking at her own writing - if you see what I mean!
Last year I spoke to her then teacher who wasn't fussed on the presentation but was more interested in the content. Her teacher this year hasn't said anything and parents' evening isn't till June. Her handwriting has not improved from last year at all. She came home with a handwritten party invite from another girl in her class and I was shocked at how neat her handwriting is!
Part of the issue is DD doesn't take pride in the schoolwork, isn't interested in writing and wants to get it done in the quickest time possible. I am worried that, as she goes into Yr 5, she's not improving and I'm not sure what to do! If she concentrates and writes really slowly, she can write neatly but this takes a long time and in class I'm assuming she doesn't have that time. I've also noticed she has a funny pen grip. We bought her a fountain pen to see if it would improve her writing but it made it worse as it had the finger grips that she just couldn't tolerate. She she writes with a Berol handwriting pen which I hate!
Will it improve by itself? Is there anything I can do to help her (providing I can get her to do any writing). I did think about seeing her teacher but don't know if it is serious enough to not wait until PE.
Any ideas?
It won't improve by itself.
Exercise will help to strengthen shoulder girdle, wrist and fingers which is important for writing.
As far as pencil grip is concerned if it hurts or impacts on writing fluency it needs attention.
Speed Up is a good handwriting programme for older children
I would avoid those dotty handwriting sheets if possible.
Thanks mrz. I'll look into that writing programme.
My dd is in year 3 and I feel horrible to say that I was shocked and a bit gutted when she brought home her Christmas cards from her class mates, most of the boys even write better than her. Her poor teacher needs a medal for being able to read her writing sometimes,at home I make her redo any written work thats messy and agree it's a time thing as I have said to her loads of times about the importance of making her work look presentable and she says she hasn't had time!
Have you seen the senco at school? I saw ours as one of my sons (age 8 year 3) has terrible handwriting. We got a referral to occupational therapy and he has dysgraphia. So they have sent suggestions to school for a special pen with a grip, a slanted writing board, and to do some exercises with theraputty to strengthen the muscles, and also he gets to do creative work on the computer as although he still needs to write, it's more about the ideas for that work.
She's under the SENCO and has 1:1 weekly for various issues she's been screened for. Handwriting hadn't come up however! I'd love to get get tested by an EP as I have just had dyslexia diagnosis and she had similar traits, although my spelling and hand writing have never been a problem.
Dh thinks she's fine and I'm over reacting completely.

Finally the good one! :D
Language: English, Italian, Spanish, French, German
In the curious village of St. Mystere, townsfolk speak to each other in riddles, lock their doors with sliding puzzles and hide their secrets within brainteasers. When a wealthy baron passes away, his will reveals an elusive treasure hidden someplace inside the village. Now it's up to Professor Layton to untangle St. Mystere's riddles and puzzles, find the hidden treasure, and crack the case.
When the wealthy Baron Augustus Reinhold passes away, his will reveals a hidden treasure in the village of St. Mystere. Unable to locate the treasure themselves, the baron's family calls upon renowned puzzle expert Professor Layton and his apprentice, Luke, for help. Upon the pair's arrival, their search for the treasure is interrupted by the suspicious death of another member of the Reinhold family. Now with two mysteries on their hands, Professor Layton and Luke must work their way through the village's many puzzles, riddles and brainteasers to find the truth.
* As Professor Layton, players tackle more than 130 puzzles as they unravel the mysteries of the village. Challenges range from mazes and riddles to logic and sliding puzzles, many of which are new for the North American release. Touch-screen controls make working through puzzles a snap for players of all skill levels, and new puzzles are available weekly for download via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
* Unlike other puzzle-driven titles, Professor Layton is the first to offer a story, cast of characters and style that are just as strong as the game play. Fully voiced animated scenes bring the story to life, while the funny and eccentric villagers and the classic, hand-drawn art provide a stylish charm that will appeal to gamers and non-gamers alike.
* The storyline and puzzles are tightly integrated, so that as you explore the world and progress through the adventure, you will encounter more and more puzzles. Many of the puzzles are new to the North American release.
* Characters: Archaeologist and puzzle master Professor Layton, his wide-eyed apprentice, Luke, and a host of quirky townsfolk.
* Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Content: Each week for half a year, a new puzzle will be available for download via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

IndyCar race winner Justin Wilson will race in the Sebring 12 Hours later this month in the Michael Shank Racing Ligier JS P2.
He replaces Matt McMurry and lines up alongside Oswaldo Negri and John Pew.
McMurry, who became the youngest ever participant in the Le Mans 24 Hours last year with Greaves Motorsport, will instead race in IMSA Prototype Lites with JDC Motorsports.
Wilson, 36, raced for MSR in last year's Sebring 12 Hours, finishing ninth in a Riley-Ford. Wilson also raced in the event earlier in his career, making his debut with the Ascari SR1 car in 2002 while he was still a rookie F1 test driver. He finished in sixth place on his first visit to Florida.
Motorsport.com had last month followed up rumors of McMurry leaving the MSR LMP2 line-up but the team said he was still an important part of it.
The 17-year-old was slated to contest the whole 2015 Tequila Patron North American Endurance Cup in the MSR Ligier.
It remains to be seen if Wilson will race in IndyCar at all this season after three consecutive years with Dale Coyne Racing.

This application is related to U.S. application Ser. No. 07/981,463, filed Nov. 25, 1992, entitled "Battery Charging and Discharging System and Corresponding Method", by George Thomas, and assigned to Motorola, Inc.
This invention relates in general to rechargeable battery cells, and more specifically to battery cells having a piezoelectric means of vibration.
The use of forced convection by mechanical excitation has been used extensively to provide enhanced efficiency of electrochemical processes in the chemical industry. In solution based chemistries, this is often provided in the form of stirring to increase the rate of convective mass transport. In electrochemical plating or deposition, this often gives rise to smoother plating and higher plating rates. More recently, mechanical excitation (or ultrasonic vibration) has been demonstrated to facilitate ion diffusion in electrochemical cells, leading to enhanced charging/discharging efficiencies, higher electrochemical storage capacities as well as improved cycle life of cells. In the patent application of Thomas (U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/981,463, filed Nov. 25, 1992), a means for providing the mechanical vibration consists of an ultrasonic transducer contained in the battery housing or in a battery charger, and mechanically coupled to the battery cells. In both of these illustrations, the vibrating device as well as the power source from which the device is activated are additional components to the individual battery cell. This translates into added weight and thus reduced energy density of the battery. It would be highly desirable and a significant contribution to the art to make a device that did not have an extra part.
Briefly, according to the invention, there is provided a rechargeable battery cell with an integral vibrating means. The cell has a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte is disposed between the two electrodes. The electrolyte comprises a piezoelectric material that functions as the vibrating means when subjected to an alternating electric field.
In an alternate embodiment of the invention, there is provided a rechargeable battery cell with an integral vibrating means. A piezoelectric material functions as a separator between the two electrodes, and also as the vibrating means.
In an alternate embodiment of the invention, there is provided a rechargeable battery cell with an integral vibrating means. At least one of the electrodes contains a piezoelectric material that functions as the vibrating means when subjected to an alternating electric field.
In another embodiment of the invention, a piezoelectric material that functions as a vibrating means when subjected to an alternating electric field is attached as part of a current collector of at least one of the electrodes. The piezoelectric material performs an additional function of being an electronic insulator for the purpose of stacking such cells.
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a battery cell in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of a battery cell in an alternate embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of a battery cell in another embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of a battery cell in another embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a schematic representation of a stacked battery construction in still another embodiment of the present invention.
A conventional battery cell has at least three elements: a negative electrode, a positive electrode and an electrolyte. The electrodes must be separated from each other to prevent direct electric contact, thus avoiding short circuiting. The configuration of the electrodes determines the voltage and capacity, and thus the energy, of the cell. For high energy density batteries, the electrodes are often a composite structure, comprising the active material, a binder, the electrolyte, and sometimes a current collector. Each of these components provides a distinct role in the proper and efficient functioning of the electrode. The electrolyte provides the medium for ionic motion into and within the electrodes where the electrochemical reactions take place. Depending on the nature of the electrolyte, the cell may or may not contain another element that serves as an insulating separator. For example, in liquid electrolyte cells where the electrodes are in close proximity, separators are required, and are of a porous nature to allow wetting of the electrodes with the electrolyte, thereby permitting the ionic motion or transfer. In cells having a solid electrolyte, the electrolyte also serves as a separator. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that most cell constructions require that the electrolyte be contained in both the separator and electrode structures.
Ultrasonic vibration increases the rate of mass (in this case ion) transport within the electrolyte and electrodes, leading to reduced recharge times, enhanced electrochemical capacities and improved cycle life of cells that utilize the mechanism. If the means of vibration were now an integral part of the cell, and contained within either the separator, electrolyte, electrodes or combinations thereof, a very efficient charging system would be provided.
In this invention, the means of vibration is a piezoelectric element (e.g., quartz, ceramics, alkali-metal salts, organic polymers, etc.). Piezoelectric materials have the intrinsic property that when they are subjected to an electric field, minute mechanical strains are induced, causing the piezo-material to distort. When the field is removed, the piezoelectric material returns to its original shape. Conversely, when they are subjected to small mechanical strains, they generate electric currents. By turning the field on and off rapidly, the piezoelectric element can be made to vibrate. An alternating (AC) electric field serves this function. This is the principle governing their use as means of mechanical/ultrasonic vibration. Vibration can be provided over a wide frequency range by varying the frequency of the AC field. In addition, piezoelectric materials are electric insulators and they can be made to be porous, as in quartz frits, for example. These properties make them ideal for use as separators, as electrolytes and as insulating layers between stacks in electrochemical cells. Mechanical flexibility of polymer based piezos also make them suitable for conformal battery constructions.
While the specification concludes with claims defining the features of the invention that are regarded as novel, it is believed that the invention will be better understood from a consideration of the following description in conjunction with the drawing figures, in which like reference numerals are carried forward.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a battery cell 10 has a positive electrode 14, a negative electrode 16, an electrolyte 18 disposed between the positive and the negative electrodes, and a separator 12 preventing direct electrical contact between the electrodes. The electrolyte 18 provides the ionic connection between the positive and negative electrodes, and the separator 12 is wholly or partially a piezoelectric element 20. If the electrolyte 18 is a liquid, then the liquid is absorbed within the porous structure of the piezoelectric separator 12, providing the necessary ionic connection. If the electrolyte 18 is a solid, as shown schematically in FIG. 2, then the piezoelectric element 20 is embedded within the electrolyte, or it is the solid electrolyte, thereby eliminating the need for a separator and providing dual functionality. Ionic connection is again provided between the electrodes by the electrolyte.
Referring now to FIG. 3, an alternate embodiment of the invention, the vibrating means is contained within one or both of the electrodes 14 or 16. When the electrode 14 is subjected to an alternating electric field, piezoelectric element 20 contained in the electrode functions as the vibrating means, causing the entire cell 10 to vibrate. This construction can be used in both liquid and solid electrolyte cells. Liquid electrolyte systems may require a separator 12, depending upon the state of physical separation between the electrode pairs.
The battery electrode contains a means for the transport of electric current in addition to the electroactive materials. During the charging process, a small AC signal is superimposed on the Direct Current (DC) signal, and applied to the battery cell 10 via appropriate current collectors 22 contained in the cell as substrates or contained within the electrodes. The DC signal performs the usual charging of the cell, and the AC field provides the necessary small displacements or strains on the piezoelectric element 20, causing it to vibrate the entire cell. The current collectors of the battery cell are used as the current leads for providing the vibration and charging of the cell. The current collector in the composite electrodes should be in direct contact with the vibrating means so that the necessary current can be applied.
Referring now to FIG. 4, still another embodiment of this invention, the piezoelectric material 20 that functions as the vibrating means is adhered to, mixed with, embedded, or otherwise contacted as a dispersed layer, coating, laminate or mixture, with, or as part of the current collector 22 of at least one of the electrodes 14 or 16. When cells utilizing these current collectors are stacked in some fashion, say back-to-back, the piezoelectric materials, being electronic insulators, act as the insulating layer in the cell assembly. This configuration is schematically illustrated in FIG. 5. In electronic applications such as radio communication devices, it is often customary to arrange cells in series to provide a multiple of the single cell voltage, or in parallel to yield a higher storage capacity. A battery package designed for this application is manufactured by arranging a plurality of cells 10 between a pair of electrically insulating layers 20, such that one layer isolates opposite terminals of the cells.
Each of the examples given above constitutes a battery cell or cell stack with integral vibration means. During charging of these cells, the electroactive species is oxidized at the positive electrode. The positive ion liberated at this electrode is transported through the electrolyte to the negative electrode where the necessary electrochemical reaction takes place to store energy in the cell. The rate of positive ion migration through the electrolyte is a direct function of the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte. The migration rate as well as the rate of ion diffusion within the electrode structures together determine the charging limits of a given cell. The rate at which ions are transported can be altered by mechanical vibration, preferably at ultrasonic frequencies, to provide the necessary convective mass transport. In the cell designs of the above examples, the vibration is effected via the piezoelectric element in the cells. During charging, an alternating signal superimposed on the DC charging current is simultaneously supplied to the piezo element(s) via the cell current collectors. This induces vibration in the piezo, with the result that the entire cell vibrates, increasing the mass transport of the primary ions across the electrolyte from one electrode to the other, and also within the electrode structures. This invention is not restricted to any one particular cell chemistry or design. It can be applied to all rechargeable batteries, for example, lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal-hydride, lithium, etc., but the most preferred application is in cells with a solid-state electrolyte construction. These cells seem to have relatively lower ionic conductivities than cells with liquid electrolyte constructions. Because of the solid nature of all the components in solid state cells, diffusion of ions seem to be the only effective means of mass transport available in these types of cells. This results in the sole dependence of ionic motion in the electrolyte and within the electrodes during charging processes on diffusion.
In the prior art, the means of vibration is contained either within the charger system or within the battery pack or housing, as a separate component. This translates not only to additional weight of the battery pack and charger system, but also requires additional electrical leads from the power source to the vibrating means. In the present invention, the means of vibration is an integral part of the cell, thus providing a compact structure for the entire cell. No additional current leads other than the ones necessary for cell charging are required, and because one item is replaced with another there is no additional weight. This compact cell design provides an efficient means to ultrasonically vibrate a cell to yield faster mass transport, leading to enhanced charging efficiencies, and reduced recharge times without any adverse effect on rated capacities. Because cells can now be charged at faster rates, the useful storage capacities amassed at a given charge rate will be higher. Additionally, the enhanced efficiency of the electrochemical processes leads to enhanced cell cycle life.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be clear that the invention is not so limited. Numerous modifications, changes, variations, substitutions and equivalents will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

What Are Anonymous Applications
The desire to hide one's identity or express any opinion without specifying authorship was born a long time ago. There was the site Just A Tip back in the 90s. There was a possibility to send anonymous tips to other users.The system was not perfect, of course – these tips were sent as anonymous emails, and it was possible even to get feedback.
In a word, the popularity of anonymous applications is based on this desire to hide user's identity.
Types of Applications
Anonymous mobile applications started gaining popularity in 2013-2014. According to Facebook's research, most users chose anonymous apps because of its size – no extra services – and because of privacy risks. Also, a part of these anonymous applications does not require users to create a user profile.
Sites like English-language 4chan and Japanese 2channel provide an anonymity without any kind of account, but users can still be tracked through their IP address. Of course, different anonymizing services can encrypt this parameter too.
So what kind of anonymous apps exist? Here is a brief list:
• Private social network apps
• Anonymous confessions apps
• Anonymous social sharing apps
• Anonymous chats apps
Read also: Social Network App Development
Let's consider them in detail. What are the nuances worth paying attention to when creating this kind of apps? What questions do you need to find answers on during the mobile development process?
Private Social Network Applications
To answer the question "How to make an anonymous social network app?" in general, we need to consider several points:
1. Will there be a need or the possibility to create an account in the application? For what purpose?
First, there is a question of the degree of anonymity. For example, many blogs like LiveJournal do not require user's personal data, and all you need is email and nickname. There are e-mail services that do not require personal data such as a phone number, and you can use any name and surname. So some of the apps require registration, but all content is published anonymously, and the data is used only for advertising.
Second, registration is a possibility to avoid cyber-bullying and to monetize the app – for example, to connect purchases of any extensions and additions (sticker packs for chats, more storage for user's content or even opportunity to use some kinds of this content like animated pictures or video) to a specific user.
And third, some sort of registration can allow you to give your users to see a history of their activity, maybe to edit or delete their posts and so on. This information can be stored locally on the device, for example.
2. Some private social network applications allow users to have a few profiles: public and anonymous.
Of course, there are a few ways to implement this into the app. The first one is to create two independent classes for every profile. Then tokens of sessions switch from one class to the other class when a user switches a profile. This way affects the database because of the lack of dependencies between classes. The second one significantly reduces anonymity. There is about the storage of all user information (real data and information for the "anonymous" account) in one profile. In this case, ordinary users will see one selected by the owner of the profile. But any network request would transmit all information about this user.
Minds may be an example of such social network.
Anonymous Social Sharing Apps
Now information is increasingly moving from textual content to visual. Therefore, many people appreciate the opportunity to anonymously post their favorite images (or other media). This is the basis for anonymous social sharing apps – they can be either separate app or feature inside a social network app.
If you want to build an app like Whisper for anonymous social sharing, you need to consider the following:
• What type of content users are supposed to share? The choice of data storage method depends on this – for example, which of the cloud services to choose.
• Will it be possible to have a news feed? And where will the data about its formation be stored? In fact, it's still the same issue of creating an account, which we covered in the previous section.
Anonymous Confessions Apps
Anonymous confessions apps – this is also a kind of social sharing apps in some way. The difference is that users share confessions. Accordingly, the requirements for this kind of apps are slightly easier: only text support is needed – alongside the same login question. Some applications go further and add features to select or upload images for the background or for accompanying their texts – as well as audio recordings.By the way, these functions can become a way of monetization.
Examples: combined PostSecret, Ask.fm.
Anonymous Chats Apps
Chats can be either separate applications or be part of an anonymous social network.
The main questions to be solved when creating an anonymous chat are:
• Will the chats be encrypted? If so, what type of encryption will be used? In solving this issue, we advise focusing on anonymous peer-to-peer technologies.
• Where will the chat history be stored – on the user's side or on the server's side?
• Will the correspondence be deleted? Through what time?
Examples: application like Secret and Yik Yak (both were shut down).

What To Consider During Anonymous Chat App Development
Anonymous chat app development is not a difficult work now. There are many ready-made solutions, for example, the open source SQRL protocol. But, as can be seen from the examples above, many known anonymous apps were shut down – mostly because they are encouraged bullying and give way to the growing popularity of simpler applications like Snapchat.
The main goal of anonymous social network applications is to share content anonymously, and this is also the main problem. On the part of users it is permissiveness and impunity (true or imaginary), and as a consequence – toxic community and so-called cyber-bullying. Of course, this can and should be fought in several ways:
• Warnings from the application.
• Some restrictions: login – for example, 'anonymity' from the Secret app included providing email or a phone number, regional or so on.
• Complaints from users (some kind of self-policing), some kind of content moderation or development of the intelligent system for responding to complaints. This includes the ability to customize personal news feed and personal blacklists.
• Limiting the types of content that users can publish. For example, the Blurtt app creators (it was also shut down) recommended to provide a library of pre-approved images.
Another problem of anonymous apps is the low payback. These apps cannot collect much information about users because of the anonymity itself. Developers of the Whisper app offer to use a "keyword-based" system, where advertisements are shown to users depending on certain words they type. Another way is to monetize various additional features, for example, avatars, emoticons or stickers. In some cases, even the possibility to use graphic and video elements in communication can be a source of profit – there was the Yik Yak app approach.
One can say that anonymous apps are popular and demanded on the one hand, and there is a sufficient amount of technology for their creation and maintenance now, but on the other – extremely difficult in terms of payback. The main secret is to create the app that users will be ready to pay for.

Cuba is a city in Crawford County, Missouri, United States. The population was 3,230 at the 2000 census. Cuba was once visited by Harry Truman during a tour of U.S. Route 66. He surveyed the property that would eventually become Indian Hills Lake and was thoroughly impressed with the prospect of it. He predicted it would be popular for jet-skis once they were invented. Indian Hills Lake was originally known as "Indian Head Lake" because the skull of a Native American was found during excavation.

"The 2013 release from this Huon Valley-based star-in-the-making was a ripper of a wine. This 2014 release - wild yeast, unfined - continues the run. The fruit feels incredibly pure and yet there's ample undergrowthy character too. That's a combination for you. Reductive characters add a minerally edge; woodsmoke and glossy oak keeps the feeling of polish high. But it's the fruit - cherried, boysenberried, almost plummy - that sets the tone, and drives the quality. This still seems incredibly young and fresh; it has a tang that seems almost raw. It's gorgeous drinking."
95 Points
"We have here a new star in the making. Pinot noir from the Huon Valley. For the story of the vineyard click here. The wine itself sees 10% whole bunches, wild yeast, and is bottled unfined. It's the handiwork of Paul and Gilli Lipscombe. Snooze, you lose. This wine will fly. It deserves to. I've never met Paul or Gilli but I could tell as soon as I twisted the cap: these are not average wine folk, and this is not your average wine endeavour. 400 dozen.This is the first release. Imagine the joy of Paul and Gilli when their first wine started to form and grow. There must have been high excitement. The wine announces its quality in unequivocal fashion. It's perfumed, spicy, savoury and sweet; it won't be pigeonholed. It stands on feet of firm tannin and acidity; upright; confident. It offers boysenberry, cranberry and sweet red cherry. Undergrowth. Herbs. Smoky reduction. It's tangy but it's also silken. Its complexity is like old money; so inherent, it seems simple. The finish soars. As everything about the wine predicted it would. The rush. The inevitability. The quality."
"Made by Paul and Gilli Lipscombe. Wild yeast, 10% whole bunches. Unfined. Lightly stalky nose and palate, very sweet strawberry fruit but the fresh acidity and slight peppery character (presumably from the stalks), means it is not overly sweet. In fact that stalky character gives a savoury flavour rather than a herbaceous character. Very fine texture, extremely supple, delicate but sustained. So elegant. Delicious in its light fragrance and sweet fruitedness. (JH)
"This is like a stripped-back Lamborghini roadster. All the essentials; nothing superfluous. It is an attractive, beautifully structured pinot from one of the coolest vineyards in the state (at Cradoc in the Huon Valley). This is the first commercial vintage (tiny amounts were made in 2012) and it is delightfully aromatic, medium-bodied with dense fruit, hints of mushroom and forest floor, along with well-integrated oak and bright acid. A dashing debut."

Neurology, January 5 2010
According to this new study high levels of vitamin D in the blood may help elderly people ward off dementia, Alzheimer's disease and stroke. The study found elderly people with vitamin D insufficiency were twice as likely to have dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and stroke as those who weren't deficient.
For the study, Buell J.S. and colleagues from Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University examined the association between vitamin D status, dementia, and cerebrovascular disease among 231 women and 109 men aged 65 to 99 who participated in the study from 2003 to 2007. Of the participants, 23.9 % had dementia like Alzheimer's, 14.5 percent had Vitamin D deficiency, and 44.3 percent had vitamin D insufficiency.
Vitamin D deficiency was defined as having less than 10 ng/mL of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and vitamin D insufficiency was defined as having lower than 10 to 20 ng/mL of vitamin D in the blood.
After adjustment for age, race, sex, body mass index, and education, vitamin D insufficiency was linked to 130% increased risk of all cause dementia, 15% increased risk of Alzheimer's, and 100% increased risk of stroke.
As striking as these numbers are, and they are dramatic—130% greater risk of dementia, 100% greater risk of stroke—why isn't there more knowledge and action amongst the conventional medical community? Having populations screened for Vitamin D status is a public health measure I could get behind. Though I would like to see the optimum range be the goal—50-70 ng/mL.

Blogging technology is a piece of cake. TypePad powers my blog, and this product is very well done.
The only two things that I can't find are:
* An automatically-generated table of contents. "Recent posts" only puts up the last ten posts. I need something that will go back to the very beginning.
* I want to do a "Dear Abby" column in which people post questions, and I answer. These can't be comments tied to a specific post because they would get buried. I'd like to create an archive of questions and answers that people can search. I looked at a couple of Wiki products, but I didn't have the mental energy to adapt them to my needs.
I think I know the answer to the first thing.

fEvery now and then there is a story that comes along that puts life into perspective and hurts your heart all at the same time. My story of Daisy Martinez Scott is such a story, and it is one that I am absolutely proud to bring to all readers, not just subscribers because it is a story that everyone needs to know.
Because Daisy and her family are hurting, and you and I need to figure out what we can do to ease their burden. It's not that Daisy isn't truly a message of hope because she is. But even the bravest among us have their down days, their days filled with fear. Daisy is no exception.
Daisy Marie Martinez Scott has an unbelievably rare condition called Carney Complex. I've told you that before. In fact, Carney Complex is so rare that there are only a few hundred cases worldwide. Lately Daisy's condition has worsened as have her finances.
"I had my last open heart surgery on March 11, 2014, for a recurrent heart tumor from 2011. I go every year the National Institute of Health (NIH), and last year in January they thought they might have seen a tumor, but it was too small to tell."
Daisy's husband, Corey, left the military in June of 2015. Less than three weeks later, they had no health insurance.
"I am supposed to have an MRI every year, and I was due to have one in July to see if it was a tumor and if it was growing, but we did not have the money to do it so we did not."
Then in January, Daisy flew back to NHI by herself to finally have the MRI done…out of pocket. They did an echocardiogram first.
"I've seen those tumors so many times that even I recognized what I was seeing on the screen. While I was having the echocardiogram done, I told the tech that I could see that I had a heart tumor. He stopped what he was doing and told me that I had put him in a bad position and that he would have to call a cardiologist. The cardiologist just confirmed what I already knew, but he ordered an MRI to be sure…but I already knew…"
Daisy is supposed to take an injection every month to slow down the rate that the tumors are occurring. The cost of each injection is $6,000.00
"The last time I had an injection was in June because Corey was out of work from June until October. I have been fighting with our insurance company since October, trying to get them to cover this medication. I have called every single day, multiple times a day. I have tried crying and everything else I can think of to try to get them to understand how important this medicine is to me."
Daisy was able to get an injection last month while she was at NIH because the hospital provided to her free of charge.
"All of the other months, I was without the injections, but just a few days ago, I finally had a breakthrough, and our insurance company has agreed to cover the cost of the injections."
One would assume that any shot costing $6,000.00 would have to be something pretty exotic, right? Not so. Daisy can actually order the medicine and pick it up at Walmart, or she can even have it drop shipped to her home, where Corey gives her the injection.
"When they told me that I have to have another surgery, they also said that I should come home to Texas and have it here at UT Southwestern in Dallas. I have now seen a cardio surgeon, but this tumor is so close to my lung that he wants to have a plan in case he has to take part of the lung."
So, bless her heart, she does the hardest thing of all…she waits.
"It's pretty tough," the young woman admitted to me. They told me that I absolutely have to rest and no working.* That makes it really hard because we only have one income. I'm not even supposed to lift our two year old while I wait for the surgeon to call and tell me the plan."
Daisy also has the same two tumors that we discussed in our last interview, but those have not grown and are still responding to medication.
"I know that I don't need to worry, but I do. I dread the surgery, and then, I know that I won't be able to sit down and play with our daughter again for a long time. She is so young, and she needs me and doesn't understand…" she trailed off, and I could visibly see the sob that that was desperately trying to escape."
But children are resilient, and at the moment Mommy and Daughter play doctor games, with little Denver posing as the doctor who is taking care of Mommy.
"I try to make it fun. She was going to 'school' when I worked, but with me out of work, I just can't afford to pay for that now. So she is home all day with me, and she actually plays well by herself and entertains herself quite well."
When the call comes, Corey and Daisy will have to go, leaving little Denver behind with Daisy's mom.
"Of course, Corey will have to have some time off work. My mom will have to have some time off to take care of Denver, and that is a huge stress because Corey just has to be able to work."
And it was at this point that I simply stopped typing. The stress on this dear young woman's face is hard to look at, and the shaking voice broke my heart. I know that the tough Daisy, the fighter Daisy that I know and love will surface again, but for this day, it was all quite simply too much for her to continue to discuss.
I did tell Daisy that as soon as she knows the plan and knows what her insurance will cover, I know that there are many of us who will want to help ease the burden. This little family has enough strikes against them at the moment. Money should not be one of those.
*Daisy has requested a doctor's release to allow her to go back to her job at Bayer Motors. Of course, because the family is so far behind on its finances now, what income she will create will go to paying past debts.

May 2, 1996 in Oakland the Angles went on to beat the A's 3-1. Jim Abbott would go 7.1 innings, allowing 1 run and striking out 6. In the game Rex Hudler would hit a home run, his 4th of the year at that point. In 1996, Hudler, nicknamed the "Wonder Dog" would have his most productive year with the Angels hitting 16 home runs in only 302 at bats while batting .311 for the year. Hudler would play for the Angels from 1994-1996 during his 13 years in the majors where he was a first round draft pick of the New York Yankees in 1978. Rex was known to have played every position on the field except pitcher and catcher in his career. While 1996 was Hudler's last year playing for the Angels he would later become a color commentator for the Angels radio and television broadcasts for 11 years.

If you're shopping for a brand new car, there at the moment are many manufacturers that provide vehicles with digital radio as standard, with others providing it as an possibility. From removing financial incentives for overseas car makers to requiring they launch Chinese automotive brands, Beijing has tried to curtail the seemingly countless reputation of non-local autos as domestic brands proceed to cede floor to their international counterparts.
Home players have profited from this enlargement, but their market share is receding compared to international automobile makers: the 30% portion held by Chinese language car manufacturers on the end of 2009 fell to 26% in 2012 in response to monetary analysis agency Sanford C. Bernstein.
The automotive market in India have been in a burgeoning stage with all types of automobiles flooding the market with a view to meet the calls for of Indian prospects who are more and more exposed to state-of-the-world vehicles and need the very best with regards to purchasing a car.
A variety of Chinese language automobile manufacturers have failed foreign safety requirements, sullying the reputation of Chinese car producers and making it troublesome for indigenous manufacturers to market themselves at dwelling and abroad Brilliance China Automotive, a firm tied to each Bayerische and Toyota, tried to sell its BS6 sedan in Europe in 2007, but earned only one out of 5 stars for security from a German car affiliation, which said the driver would have little chance of surviving a side collision.
From 2017 onwards Europe will work with the Worldwide Harmonised Gentle Vehicles Test Process (WLTP), a check for new automobiles that goals at stopping automotive manufacturers from abusing the previously normalised laboratory conditions.
