In the last number of years, we now have witnessed a sudden boom within the demand of smartphone's, tablets and iPads etc. This has increased the demand of mobile apps and forced app developing companies to rethink regarding their ways of meet the augmented demand of the apps. Businesses have added more burdens around the app developing companies, by demanding customized apps to accommodate their business requirements. Often app developers have to be quite innovative while designing and developing such apps. Irrespective of app developers delivering best apps, it's seen how the business owners don't use them and causing their downfall. Through this jot down, I will throw some light about the top factors that cause the failure of an business app.
Entering the smartphone market could be easier than you imagine. With the right software, code structure, plus a little know-how a great idea can turn into the following profitable mobile sensation. The company Research In Motion also referred to as RIM comes with a exceptional BlackBerry Developer Zone which enables users to make and distribute original apps and themes. These applications can differ from data storage to games.
Seamless iPad Social Networking Applications Development is important for deriving the true fun for the iPad. Professional iPad developers / programmers are able to do far better in developing iPad social networking applications. Modern web can be acquired with a great deal of social media sites and every social networking website offers various features. You can choose anyone of them and make custom iPad social network application, but it requires expertise to implement all the features seamlessly. There are some common features of iPad Social Networking Applications like Photos, SMS, GPS, Multiplayer Game, Calendar, Video, IM, Personal page, Video conference and much more. Professional iPad social networking developers can readily integrate the existing social media marketing network sites plus they can get customized applications at the same time.
The close participation from domain business stakeholders in RAD can result in feedback loops where, while prototyping, modeling, and testing, ideas for changes are readily apparent and "thrown in the mix". The PM (as well as the remaining team of developers) should reign within this behavior by making certain any changes proposed fit from the scope of the defined business requirements. Re-scoping or changing direction is ok, and not in the middle of revision cycles.
Especially in recent years, businesses are aggressively seeking quality solutions for thriving in their respective field and wanting to possess the most effective one. This is an emerging situation as of this moment. They want to choose exactly the best. Consequently, there is a huge demand in constructive technologies and solutions. Unquestionably, this scenario has certainly made database integration more sought after. A large number of people consider PHP as a better means to fix take care of their technical challenges. Needless to say, PHP content management comes as a huge relief in case you aspire quality and competence in all of the their efforts. There are various benefits when seeking the help of PHP. This open source language has become a big benefit in developing and deploying powerful applications. The platform offers various advantages commonplace to build up absolute applications for users.

Our luck continues this week as Pastor Point has been looking like something out of a surf movie. With 4-5 ft sets rolling down the reef, our guests couldn't believe their eyes! Not another surfer to be seen on the island, and off shore winds blowing all day – it was a dream come true!
As the week coming to an end, we managed to fit in the Samoan cultural trip to our schedule with a nice cool dip in the local waterfall; for the night, an Aganoa Fia Fia performance was put on for them to enjoy.
Waking up Friday morning, Aganoa Rights was doing its thing with off shore winds and a cracking south swell, whilst relaxing in the lagoon and going for another bike adventure, the guests this week experienced everything Aganoa has to offer.
Looking forward to what the new week brings!

The first step in gaining control of your finances is knowing exactly where your money is going. You would be surprised how much money you spend on a quick run to the store here or a soda from the vending machine there. It's impossible to track everything in your head. You might think you have a good handle on your monthly bills, but you'll be amazed at how much you spend on your daily expenses.
If you are truly serious about gaining control of your finances, you need to know where every dollar goes. Every spontaneous shopping trip, even that fruity drink you had with dinner one night, I can't stress enough how crucial it is to keep track of EVERYTHING!
When you can easily see where each dollar is going, you might find some small changes that could greatly impact your financial situation. This could help you stretch your paycheck a little further, help you contribute more money to paying off your debt, or help build your savings.
I will show you how to do it.
What are your expenses?
Grab a piece of paper and write down every expense you can think of. This includes any monthly bills, or any regular activities you do.
Here is what some of my categories look like:
- Rent & Water
- Health Insurance
- Car insurance
- Renter's Insurance
- Electric
- Internet
- Food
- Gas
- Cell Phone
- Netflix Subscription
- Prescriptions
- Shopping
When you are first starting out, start with the basics. Your spending habits will help you create your categories. For example, if you find yourself sitting in a doctor's office at least once a month, you might consider adding a category for doctor's visits.
If you don't already have a budget or you are tracking your expenses for the first time, make your categories as broad as possible.
Choose your method of tracking
I personally chose Mint to track my spending. All you need to do is add your bank accounts, and that's it! It does all the work for you. If you don't want your financial information given to a third party, you can always use Excel, or the old fashioned pen and paper.
Even though I use Mint, I personally like to have a printout to keep track of what I've already paid and when due dates are. I recommend being redundant and keeping both if you are able to, but one will work just fine.
Keep your hard copy on the fridge, or somewhere you will see it all the time. I keep my print out in my purse with me, so I can check on our spending in my spare time.
Below is the Expense Tracker I use to track my spending. There is a place for you to put the date, and whether you used cash, debit, or credit to pay for your purchase. There are seven blank spaces for you to put in your own categories. This chart works best if used for daily expenses rather than bills.
Use my expense tracker to get organized and help you track every cent!
I'd recommend tracking your expenses for 1-2 months to really get a sense of where you're spending your money. Once you have a good idea of your spending habits, and how you want to spend your money, it's time to create a budget!
Check back next Friday for How to gain control of your finances: Creating a budget.

How to make a food poisoning injury claim
To start with, you may think that you have an upset stomach or maybe a tummy bug, but these usually only last 24 hours so if you are feeling ill for longer than that, there stands a good chance that you have food poisoning. If you have contracted the illness from eating at a food outlet, you may be able to make a food poisoning injury claim in Sedgefield.
Food poisoning can be why you need to make an injury claim in Sedgefield
Food poisoning is caused by food becoming contaminated, usually with bacteria or sometimes with viruses or chemicals such as pesticides. In the right conditions, bacteria will thrive and rapidly spread. The situation everyone should try to avoid are:
- Cross contamination of foods;
- Using food that is past its use by date;
- Not cooking food thoroughly;
- Keeping cooked food at warm temperatures for a prolonged period;
- Not storing food at the correct temperature;
- Letting someone who is ill or has dirty hands handle the food; and
- Not keeping the preparation and cooking areas clean.
Any of these can make the food contaminated and cause an injury claim in Sedgefield.
Foods that it is more likely to happen with
There are some foods with which you should take extra care because they are more susceptible to becoming contaminated. These include:
- Poultry, pork and raw meat;
- Sausages and burgers;
- Kebabs;
- Raw shellfish;
- Unpasteurised milk;
- Raw eggs;
- Pate;
- Soft cheeses;
- Cooked sliced meats; and
- Pre-packed sandwiches.
Any of these served to you while you are eating out, could cause food poisoning and lead to an injury claim in Sedgefield.
How you will feel if you have food poisoning
Normally you would start to feel ill within one to three days of eating the bad food. The symptoms you can expect to experience include:
- Nausea;
- Stomach cramps;
- Vomiting; and
- Diarrhoea.
Most cases of food poisoning our bodies will fight, and it will clear up on its own within a few days. Until you feel well enough you should rest, have lots of sips of water and not eat any other food. When you feel ready to eat again, you should start with foods that are easy to digest such as toast.
The consequences can be serious from food poisoning
Severe cases of food poisoning often make people really ill, can mean hospitalisation and can even end in death. There have been several high-profile outbreaks over the years where deaths have occurred. These situations tend to be because of contaminated water or something that is produced in large quantities and is on the supermarket shelves.
Making a food poisoning compensation claim
If you have been made ill by bad food, you may be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim. Accident Advice Helpline can help you to do this and will ensure that you are compensated for being made to feel so ill. If you want to talk to someone to see if you qualify, contact our helpline on 0800 689 0500/0333 500 0993 from a mobile and speak to our advisors.

As the entrance requirements for engineering programs vary, learn about the various specialization options available. Given Highline Community College plumbing classes, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the hvac technology department for course registration deadlines, and hydraulic engineering program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Highline Community College
Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090). Within the hvac technology department, you may consider East Arkansas Community College engineering majors as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

Anxiety Panic AttackGet the panic disorder symptoms solution
Did you know, that just about one third of American adults experience at least one anxiety panic attack in their lifetimes? This data shows that having anxiety has become the most common emotional disorder even more so than depression or alcohol abuse. Some of us probably don`t realize it but we experience anxiety in our lives which can eventually lead to panic attacks.
To really learn about panic attacks, is to experience panic itself. Those who suffer from anxiety panic attacks, has a major life change instantly. They start to feel unexplainable fear, uncontrollable dread, as if they are going crazy. Other than that, their body starts functioning differently in relation to the attack that took place. The immediate cause of such attacks is said to be imagining feeling trapped and helpless. Though, there are situations wherein panic takes place after a big life changing moment such as death, crime or disaster.
In other cases, an anxiety panic attack is a result of several months or even weeks of stress and can happen to anyone. However, they say it happens more to persons who worry a lot, are perfectionists, or have experienced some kind of abuse in their life. It is also said to be a hereditary illness that has been passed on from the family, but there are also some cases that have not had any family link to the illness.
The ways to treat an anxiety panic attack is through therapy and medication. There are two types of therapy which are cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure therapy. There are also two kinds of medication which are antidepressants and benzodiazepines. Although there are treatments to an anxiety panic attack, these aren`t cures. They just help prevent attacks from reoccurring but there is a chance they can return.
Aside from the recommended treatments, here are some tips that can be useful if you suffer panic attacks or know anyone suffering from it:
* Learn about panic - knowing panic attacks like the back of your hand will help a lot. You can determine if you are experiencing it and know that you aren`t losing your mind.
* Discover how to control your breathing - if you get used to breathing deeply during a panic attack, it can help to relieve symptoms. This tip will allow you to calm yourself if when such attack takes place.
* Avoid smoking & drinking caffeine - both of those can trigger panic attacks from taking place.
* Be skilled at being relaxed - incorporate relaxation activities in your daily routine such as yoga and meditation. This will make your body relaxed fighting any signs of panic.
These treatments and tips don`t seem to be instant solutions to panic attacks and anxiety. There is a new program though that proves to be effective in eliminating panic attacks and general anxiety quickly and permanently. Panic Away is a powerful technique that will get rid of your panic problems without the use of medication. The goal of Panic Away is getting you back to your former self and ensuring that you will never fear the thought of having a panic attack again. Panic Away may just be the answer you`ve been waiting for to solve your anxiety problems.

Melvin and Sherry Hill described their son, Tim, as a good, but adventurous young boy.
"He loved to climb on things," Sherry said. "One time, when he was going to feed his chickens, he jumped over the fence instead of opening the gate, fell and broke both of his arms. He was a good boy, just a daredevil," she said.
The Vandalia City Council has approved a budget that includes deficits in three funds, but those deficits will not create an overall deficit.
That's because surplus monies in those funds will be used, if necessary, to offset the deficits. Also, those deficits may be smaller than anticipated.
Three days after going over the budget for the current fiscal year during a work session, the Vandalia City Council approved on Thursday afternoon a spending plan tied to that budget.
The start of a new school year may be delayed in some Illinois districts, but not in Vandalia.
In recent weeks, Vandalia Superintendent of Schools Rich Well has kept school board members, administrators and teachers updated on the stalemate in the state capitol that means a delay in the release of funds to Illinois school districts.
"There's no mechanism yet to send out funds for schools," Well told the Vandalia Board of Education at its July meeting.

The NBA decided to move the trade deadline to 10 days before the All-Star Game, stating:
The Board of Governors approved moving the trade deadline from the Thursday after the NBA All-Star Game to the Thursday 10 days before the All-Star Game. With the new placement of the trade deadline, teams will be able to settle their rosters before the All-Star break and avoid the disruptions that result from players joining new teams just as practices and games are beginning to resume following the All-Star break.
Yeah. That was the reason, even though that's never been a problem before. What was never a problem before is an All-Star getting traded during the All-Star Game and then hearing about it for the first time in a postgame interview.
That's what happened to DeMarcus Cousins last season.
Now, I get it. It's understandably weird and the sort of situation you want to avoid, but it was helped by the fact they were playing in the city where "Boogie" was traded.
There's a big problem with this move, though, and it undermines the whole point of the All-Star Game.
To illustrate why it's an issue, imagine that Cousins wasn't being traded to New Orleans, but by New Orleans. And imagine further that this trade happened 10 days earlier. And then all the fans in New Orleans get to show up and watch the player they voted into the game represent another team.
I get it. Trades happen. And in this one very unusual, very awkward, very isolated incident, there's a perfect storm of what can go wrong with the deadline after the All-Star Game.
But henceforth and forever (or at least until the rules change back), stars who get traded at the break are going to represent a team whose fan base did not put them in, and the fan bases who did put them in won't have the same sense of being able to claim "That's my guy!" Rather, the All-Star Game will just be an exercise in torture for them.
That's the All-Star Game, and you might not care, but it's the whole point of the All-Star Game. So it kind of matters. But let's look at the bigger picture.
One of the issues that fans are dealing with is teams deciding to tank. Teams aren't only tanking more often now, they're doing it more brazenly. And typically the date when teams decide whether they're going to push for a playoff berth or more lottery balls is the trade deadline. That's the point of no return.
Moving up the deadline date only moves up the "tank date," too. Fans of teams won't have the All-Star Game to look forward to and they won't have the rest of the season to look forward to. Pretty much for at least a third of the league, the season will effectively end the beginning of February.
But hey! At least we won't have that one isolated incident where a guy finds out he got traded after the All-Star Game anymore.

my co-workers son that lives in NYC recommended Wo Hop. I took my mother and daughter last week while we were on vacation from Texas. We stood in line for about an hour, but it was well worth the wait. The price we a nice break from all the other places we had eaten at in NYC. Also folks in front of us had driven two hours to come have dinner at Wo Hop. They said they make the trip about every three months to get their Wo Hop fix. It was fun waiting in the line and heading down the stairs. The place was soooo small, but totally cool! I loved the pics all over the wall and intend on send one to them the Dallas Cowboys new home. We are use to the small little egg rolls we get here so we ordered two orders of egg rolls. Big mistake the rolls are LOGS!!! They were huge! We noticed the portion size on the food was huge as well so we shared. The food was awesome! The staff was fun. the check was small. It was by far the BEST meal we had on the whole trip. Thanks Wo Hop!

I love going here!! \\The Waiter John is the best!! They are so friendly there! most Chinese restaurants we go to.. they throw down the utensils at ya which is such an insult..Ok So I recommend this place for great food and friendly service!! love it!! this month I think I have been there 3 -4 times!! with my family...with our best friends!! it just rocks! especially the CRAB!!! hmmm we going back for my son's 19th birthday! oh yeah!
Oh so disappointing experience...it wasn't horrible but too many flaws for my taste....service was ok, though not too quick, and food with lot of ingredients but cold and kind of greasy...also me and my boyfriend ordered same type of dishe (spicy and sweet) but dosage of spices differ greatly...mine too spicy and his for dietitians...Maybe somebody would like but I wasn't too thrilled
My husband and I visited Nom Wah over Memorial Day weekend (2014). It came highly recommended, and we waited in line about 45 minutes for a table (spend your time reading about the history of the parlor and of Doyle St.). It was definitely worth the wait. Friendly staff and great dim sum. Can't wait to take the in-laws there for a treat!
Had a wonderful brunch at Noho Star on Lafayette and Bleecker the other day. It was great - the pancakes with fresh fruit were beyond delicious. My friends had salad, omelets, all excellent. Coffee is strong and the various drinks intoxicating! A varied menu, friendly waiters. A must!
I know there was a shift in management for a little while, however this place is back to being my favorite place for Chinese food. I always make sure when I visit the city to order from here with my friends.
Back in the late 1950's would go to a great Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown on Mott Street called So Lee's. Remember owner telling me snow peas a great delicacy in China at the time. Great food.
I highly recommend Noho Star for breakfast. The food is delicious. The staff is friendly and attentive. One can linger, read the provided New York Times and enjoy the ambience.
Ordered beef/broccoli and friend ordered spicy beef szechuan w/vegetables and a couple of tsing-taos and guess what? Food and service were excellent; will come back again.
This place cooks some of my favourite Chinese meals. Last time me and my friends ordered online, and all I can say is that the service was fast! Thank you!

Listening to the TV news on Monday morning, I heard a brief story about an order from President Donald Trump to create an Office of American Innovation, to be headed by Jared Kushner and staffed by various business executives helping out on a part-time basis. Despite the office's name, its goal will not be to spur innovation in the U.S. economy in general, but rather to spur innovation in government management.
It was remarkable to me that a story on improving government management had actually made the morning news (on NBC at least). The Washington Post also had a detailed story on this initiative.
I do not generally count myself as a Trump fan, but if we are going to be fair minded, we must be willing to give credit where credit is due. This initiative has the potential to be a home run for the American people.
Last week I blogged about the administration's management agenda. Having expressed skepticism in posts just after the election about whether Trump's administration would have a government management improvement agenda at all, I last week expressed happiness at how the tone of the budget document was closely tied to a non-ideological mainstream good government agenda for improving the performance of government.
When I wrote that post, however, I will confess that I wondered to what extent the words in the budget document simply reflected the views of its author, former OPM Director Linda Springer, and might not have gotten any attention from more-senior administration officials.
The creation of the new innovation office puts those fears to rest.
What do I like about the announcement of this new office? How do I count the ways?
A new innovation initiative? Veterans of past efforts react with hope tempered by experience
The first thing I like is that the Post story noted that Trump sees this effort in the context of something he did 30 years ago to help renovate the Wollman Ice Skating Rink in Central Park. According to Wikipedia, "The rink was closed in 1980 for a proposed two years of renovations at $9.1 million. Six years and $13 million later, after the problem-plagued work was still not completed by the city, Donald Trump persuaded Mayor Ed Koch to let him complete the work in four months at $3 million in order to have it open by the end of the year. Koch initially objected but later agreed to Trump's proposal when Trump offered to pay for the renovations himself with the stipulation that he be allowed to run the venue and an adjacent restaurant and use the profits to recoup his costs.
According to the Post article, "Trump sees the innovation office as a way to institutionalize" that sort of business-driven effort. Hope Hicks, the president's spokeswoman, said Trump "recognized where the government has struggled with certain projects and he was someone in the private sector who was able to come in and bring the resources and creativity needed and ultimately execute in an efficient, cost-effective, way." The goal is what friends of good government seek, which is improvement in government performance.
I already knew about this old effort and had once written about this in my book, Procurement and Public Management. I was a little surprised that Trump even remembered that he had done this so long ago, though perhaps I shouldn't have been. The Wollman Rink was both an admirable hands-on effort by a business leader to help out government, and also hopefully a way to help share lessons learned with the city about, in this case, ways to improve the procurement process.
So can the new innovation office bring more of the same? "Viewed internally as a SWAT team of strategic consultants, the office will be staffed by former business executives," the Post writes, "and is designed to infuse fresh thinking into Washington, float above the daily political grind and create a lasting legacy for a president still searching for signature achievements." The article quotes a statement by Trump to the paper: "All Americans, regardless of their political views, can recognize that government stagnation has hindered our ability to properly function, often creating widespread congestion and leading to cost overruns and delays. ... I promised the American people I would produce results, and apply my 'ahead of schedule, under budget' mentality to the government."
The use of business executives in Trump's new efforts may remind some of the Reagan administration's Grace Commission, headed by Peter Grace, then CEO of the W. R. Grace Co. The business executives working on the Grace Commission were directed to produce examples of waste that made agencies look bad. (I wrote about the Grace Commission at the time, and found that essentially none of their headline-grabbing examples of waste panned out when you examined them further.) However, the new innovation office is rejecting that approach in favor of a more-collaborative and less-confrontational one.
One of the leaders of the effort is quoted in the Post piece as saying that "they did not see themselves as an imperious force dictating changes but rather as a 'service organization' offering solutions." This is refreshing just because it is so rare in discussions of public management, especially when the discussions get into the more public or political realm.
Even Democrats, who don't share the hostility to government of most traditional Republicans, frequently cannot avoid the temptation when discussing government management to drift into the language of waste, fraud, and abuse, and to state or imply agency incompetence or malfeasance. The approach of the Trump administration sets an example not just for Republicans but for Democrats as well.
The Post story tellingly noted that the effort was being led by Jared Kushner, one of the least-ideological people in the administration, and that the initiative did not include Steve Bannon, the ideologue whose management agenda, such as it is, is to "deconstruct the administrative state." Kushner's involvement, given his closeness to the president, sends a fantastic signal to people in the agencies that the president takes this seriously, a signal stronger than any president has ever sent before.
"At least to start," the story says, "the team plans to focus its attention on reimagining Veterans Affairs; modernizing the technology and data infrastructure of every federal department and agency; remodeling workforce-training programs; and developing 'transformative projects' under the banner of Trump's $1 trillion infrastructure plan, such as providing broadband Internet service to every American."
This is a great list. Trump team, good luck!

The Department of Agriculture is looking to cut down on the number of agency CIOs in the name of efficiency and better communication across mission areas.
Ninety days after the Trump administration's executive order, FCW sat down with agency cyber leaders to discuss what's changing.
Thoughtful analysis, as expected. But regardless of Jared's brain power and smooth style, and, discounting his inexperience, one would not expect a competent performance from this White House. Jared will have help, much of it uninvited. Expect a major FUBAR--that's what many experts think. It will be in the noise level, however, and won't do much damage.
Steve, in addition to my own detailed post about this on FB and elsewhere, I'd add a comment here. Your reference to the Wollman rink is significant for other reasons. The offer to fix something with a proviso to take over its ownership, operation, and revenue stream, is precisely the option DJT has suggested for America's infrastructure repairs. I'll defer to others on the merits of privatizing our highways and bridges.
With regard to good government and efforts to improve, I am not enthused by either the "SWAT" moniker (typically associated with response to dangerous crises, and para-military gear), or the "government as business" mantra. For many years, I have advocated RIGHT-SIZED government. Agencies adequately funded to have the people and resources necessary to accomplish their missions. Effectively and efficiently, with both accountability and commitment to continual learning, adaptation, and improvement. The biggest obstacle to this that I know of, is the failure to distinguish truly complex challenges (with no knowable solutions) from the technical ones (where experts know what will work). Time and time again, managers treat the former as if they were the latter.
We can, and must do better.
For someone who doesn't generally count himself as a Trump fan, you spend an awful lot of time writing fawning articles about his ideas. It's gotten to the point that I can barely stand to click on anything you publish anymore.
"a great list"? Really?
It's way too big for a small office led by someone new to government. The only thing going for him is the clout of his father-in-law, but Kushner himself has too many other assignments. The likelihood is he'll get pulled into one or two of them, those which seem more promising and rewarding, and slight the others, leaving the field open for someone with pet ideas to try to incorporate into the bureaucracy.
