Will Facial Recognition Replace Strong Passwords?
On this blog, we spend a lot of time talking about sophisticated security threats. But we especially love talking about the other side: advanced protection to fight those threats. As criminals focus on breaking through systems and stealing identities, technology developers and security experts work even harder to stop them.
Here's a great example: MasterCard will soon start experimenting with a pay by selfie program that allows customers to use a facial scan instead of a password for online purchases.
The MasterCard facial scan pilot project will start with 500 customers. After the technical glitches are worked out, it's likely that the technology will get a wide release. For additional credit card security, MasterCard also plans to give customers the option of using a fingerprint scan, much like Apple's iPhone scanner.
But it won't just be MasterCard experimenting with facial scans. Microsoft recently announced that Windows 10 will also use the technology as a login feature. Security through selfies? Incredibly, it could be one of the new ways to prevent identity theft.
The End of Passwords?
So many of us struggle with passwords because we now need to lock down a long list of apps, devices and online accounts. Personally, I have a laptop, tablet and smartphone, along with online accounts for banking, two credit cards, investments and a mortgage. Each account needs a different password, and I know that a combination of letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers and symbols is the best way to go. The more difficult the passwords are to hack, however, the harder they are to remember. This is a struggle even if you use a password manager to keep track of your passwords!
It seems that companies are finally catching on that users need help with creating strong passwords and are coming up with technologies that use physical characteristics instead. But don't ditch your anti-hacker strategies quite yet. Here are the pros and cons of some popular systems:
|What It Is
|Two-Factor Authentication
|Identification that employs two components, such as a password and a limited use "code" that's delivered via email or text.
|An added layer of protection above your password alone. Difficult to hack because the thief would need to have access to your mobile phone or email to receive the second level of authentication.
|It's a hassle. You have to use multiple systems to unlock your account. Plus, timing is key; move too slowly and you have to start the process all over again.
|Password Managers
|An app that stores all of your passwords in one place, using one strong password.
|You only need to remember one login and password combination.
|If your password manager is hacked, it leaves all of your accounts vulnerable.
|Password technology that employs emoji characters rather than personal identification numbers.
|Pictures tend to be more easily recalled than numbers, and there are far more options over the traditional four-digit passcodes. Plus, no favorite pet name, birthdate or mother's maiden name for thieves to easily guess.
|Technology is not yet in wide release and can only be used on touchscreens. Also, with so many symbols to choose from (some of which look the same), users may inadvertently select the wrong symbol.
|Retinal Scans
|Recognizes the unique patterns within each person's retina.
|A low rate of false positives and high reliability, since no two people have the same retinal pattern.
|Equipment costs are high, and eye diseases like cataracts can affect the results. Also, many people find the scan invasive, since a device needs to be very close to the eye to be effective.
|Uses your unique fingerprint pattern as a passcode.
|Apple's use of fingerprint scans has driven more adoption, and the scans feel far less intrusive than retinal scans.
|Hackers have been able to duplicate fingerprints, and security experts have expressed concern that the technology isn't sophisticated enough yet for widespread use.
|Facial Scans
|Performs a scan of your face to validate your identity.
|Technology that uses facial scans, like MasterCard's SecureCode, has been used by law enforcement agencies for years, so it already has some kinks worked out.
|Privacy advocates have wondered if the technology could be more of a risk than a benefit, since faces could be "stored" in databases. This could lead to tracking without your consent as well as stalking.
Overwhelmed by the above options? Remember, it's still advisable to stick to your strong passwords — and here are some tips that can help. Also be sure to keep an eye (and a fingerprint!) on the growing field of authentication technology. Who knows? Soon, a selfie might just be the best credit card security available.

What Is A Contingency Fee Agreement?
In a contingency fee agreement the client agrees to give his or her lawyer a certain percentage of the money recovered in either a settlements or verdict. When the client's case is won the attorney will deduct his or her fee (plus applicable costs and fees) from the recovered sum. Additionally, the attorney may also deduct third-party expenses from the recoverable sum. These expenses can include:
- Filing fees
- Photocopying fees
- Court reporter fees
- Law office staff fees
- Expert witness fees
- Deposition fees, and more
If your case is lost, you may still be liable for these listed fees. It's important to fully read and understand your contingency fee agreement before signing.
If you enter into a contingency fee agreement with your lawyer be sure your written agreement spells out the percentage of money you and your lawyer will receive, and how it will be split. You should also understand the difference in percentage you will receive if your case is settled out of court or if your case goes to trial.
If possible and applicable, ask your attorney to provide you with an estimate of court costs and other expenses, and find out whether the lawyer's share is paid before or after other expenses are deducted.
Finally, it should be noted that some states do not allow contingency fee agreements for certain types of cases. Contingency fee agreements are generally not allowed in divorce or criminal cases.

At least one hotelbar which is not empty after 10pm ! Super ambiance
Rooms were nicely decorated Found our shower didn't work in the first room. We were then transfered and the second room had a door with a faulty lock, no security chain and a safe that didn't work. Also no shower curtain.
Price for week-end. Confortable room. It would be better rated Little bit old and too dark. It would be better rated 4 stars instead of 5
your customer service About the taxi men , When they drive from the hotel to the air port?
The hotel is in a very good location, many institutions are just around the corner; it has it's own style, staff rather helpful However, bathrooms and rooms needs some. restoration and cleaning; overall, everything is a little bit outdated
Location The front edge of our wash basin was covered in duct tape as a whole chunk of marble had somehow broken off. Very unhygienic. We were moved to a "business" room for the 2nd night. The check-in took ages, partly because - we were told - we'd booked through an agent on line. The reception desk was woefully slow and undermanned. There was no concierge to help with taxis etc. A 5star hotel surely would have better public services & facilities. The decor was oppressive with extraordinarily low ceilings. The general impression was that the hotel had aspirations above its station! PS I haven't seen the guest reviews about this hotel.
Very helpul staff when there were no taxis available!
Staff was nice and helped me out quickly to solve problems with the TV. there is a little too much wear and tear considering what I paid for my room. Location is not the best either.
Very comfortable beds, good sized rooms tastefully furnished and could not hear the lift. We opted not to have breakfast at 27 Euro per person as we felt this was somewhat over the top.
It is definetly not a quality star hotel. The restaurant is not open during sundays and holidays. A lot of malfunctions with the 2 elevators and the room was done always after 2. Maybe it was a qualiy hotel before, but now not really...
comfort, value of money cleanliness of the room
Pleasant, quiet and comfortable room. Very limited choice for buffet breakfast.
In house parking. Squeaking doors - when the room maid opened the door of the next room, it was as loud as if it'd benn in my room. (Need to put some WD40 on the door hinges.)
-safe, but dirty indoor parking available -friendly but lazy hotel staff ( I had to wait 10 minutes until they opened the car parking gate)
The guests liked the quietness, the rooms were clean. Just 1 lift serving all floors.
Desappointed Bad value for this price
I thought the hotel was very nice, it was comfortable, cleaned every day and the breakfast was lovely.
Convenient, pleasant No dinner or bar facility in teh evenings. No room mini-bar.
breakfast all good
Relatively low cost by Brussels standards, close to Louise commercial area and with bus connection to European Institutions area. has underground parking but not for high vehicles. Friendly helpful staff.
The location was good and the facilities were as advertised. The "secure" parking was anything but. The entry door was broken and open all the time. The garage has empty beer cans and othern rubbish strewn around. Looked like somebody was sleeping rough.
Great find! Great location, close to public transportation and grocery stores. Very convenient.
Clean. Convenient location No services whatsoever (self catering). very limited reception hours.
the kitchen The hotel reception was closed in the weekennd when I arrived and nothing was said about that. I stay 2 hours waiting someone to receive me.
Studio hotel, good for short stays. Excellent price/value. Tram ride from Metro station
Comfortable, simple room at reasonable price. All the right conveniences for a few days stay, internet, microwave, fridge etc. some rooms can get a lot of noise from the street
My only problem staying at this hotel was problems with the internet connection. It didnt work in my room.
Quite simply the cost Very Dated
good location noisy street outside
Easily traceble and well connected to Bus and Tram NA

BCCI chief opts out of Modi probe
The president of Indian cricket's governing body has stepped down from a panel that will probe Lalit Modi after the suspended IPL chief accused him of bias.
Shashank Manohar was due to sit on a three-man disciplinary committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that will hear allegations of corruption, indiscipline and money-laundering against Modi.
But Modi's lawyer Mehmood Abdi wrote to the BCCI demanding that Manohar should opt out of the committee because he had "reasons to believe there was some bias or prejudice against Modi."
A BCCI spokesman says Manohar, a lawyer by profession, has stepped down from the panel to ensure Modi is given a fair trial.
The BCCI has called a meeting in Mumbai on Saturday to nominate Manohar's replacement on the committee, which has politician-lawyer Arun Jaitley and businessman Chirayu Amin as the other members.
The BCCI, owner of the Indian Premier League, suspended Modi in April following the allegations, which also sparked a government investigation.
Modi was separately accused of planning an IPL-style league in England without the knowledge of the BCCI or the England and Wales Cricket Board.
The 46-year-old, the driving force behind the hugely popular IPL, has submitted written replies to the charges against him.

jennifer arthy, 12/07/2015 07:25
lovely bikini excellent coverage but still looks sexy, I like the fact that it has very deep side support there's nothing worse than your boobs getting pushed round the back and bulge out under your arms.
I ordered this bikini after trying on at least 5 in the shops today and was delighted at how well it fitted.

text: This is an e-mail I just sent to "Dean" at Microsoft: Dean, OK. Great. Now we're getting somewhere. But this does not fully answer my (our) questions. You state: "then you would need an existing operating system on your machine." What does THIS mean? Does this mean that we cannot boot to a Windows 7 UPGRADE disc on a formatted hard drive (with no operating system of any kind installed)? If so, during the install process, will the software want proof of a previous OS by asking for insertion of a licensed XP disc? Do you have any idea of how angry real and potential purchasers of Windows 7 are about Microsoft's reluctance to fully explain this procedure? Just go to windows7forums.com and get a taste of what's going on out there! Does Microsoft care that they are making even more people angry than already exist? Dean, I'll make this real simple. This is what I want you to ask an expert at Presales and Licensing Department (and please tell them I don't want the simple answer they originally gave): IS IT POSSIBLE TO BOOT DIRECTLY TO A WINDOWS 7 UPGRADE DISC ON A FORMATTED HARD DRIVE WITHOUT A PREVIOUS OS INSTALLED? IF SO, DURING THE COURSE OF THE INSTALLATION, WILL THE OPERATOR BE ASKED TO SHOW PROOF OF HAVING A LINCENSED COPY OF XP? IF SO, HOW IS THIS ACCOMPLISHED? WILL THE OPERATOR BE ASKED TO INSERT THIS XP DISK TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION? That's it Dean. By answering these simple questions without hemming or hawing Microsoft will satisfy the curiosity of computer geeks everywhere. All we want is a definitive answer. Is that too much to ask of Microsoft? Whatever answer you give me will be immediately transferred (with quotes) to several web sites dealing with this issue. Inform your friends at the Presales and Licensing Department that they will anger several thousand computer users of Microsoft operating systems if they continue to be secretive about this installation process. Stay tuned for Dean's answer which I will immediately post!

Tesco's first US venture Fresh & Easy was intended to be a friendly local grocery shop with a "neighbourhood market" format, meaning stores would be smaller than the average American supermarket and would attract customers who would pop in for supplies a few times a week as opposed to a larger, weekly bulk-buy. So far, so good – so why did it fail?
The main issue appears to have been a lack of understanding of both the target customer and the overall US grocery shopping culture. Shoppers reported that the selection of produce on offer was not comprehensive enough, necessitating trips to other stores. Additionally, Tesco's vision of a more casual, European way of shopping for food was simply not congruent with US consumer habits, and was subsequently rejected in favour of more traditional supermarkets like Costco and Trader Joe's, which offered a broader selection of brands and catered for larger, less frequent shopping trips.
International expansion is now a mainstay of most UK retailers' strategies, with recent research from Barclays showing that over 30% of UK retailers are planning on expanding online overseas in the near future if they haven't already done so. Fresh & Easy's high-profile failure occurred on a bricks-and-mortar level, but e-commerce retailers can also learn from Tesco's mistakes; the principle of successfully appealing to foreign shopping appetites remains the same.
Intelligent online merchandising should be the most urgent consideration for retailers looking to trade online in new markets. After all, if a brand has no physical stores in an overseas territory, then its website is the only point of reference customers have for getting the information they need to make a purchase.
In light of this fact, good quality product images and detailed product information pages are a basic necessity. This has the double advantage of increasing conversion rates by presenting products in their best light while simultaneously reducing returns, which are an expensive logistical nightmare and have contributed to the downfall of many ill-conceived international operations.
Overseas consumers often turn to foreign retailers for products that are currently unavailable or extravagantly priced in their home country, which means they will often be looking for a specific product as opposed to casually browsing. Website usability should therefore be fine-tuned in order to make the shopping experience as convenient as possible: large catalogues should be broken up into easy-to-navigate categories to help make finding those specific items easy.
Onsite search must also be optimised for an international audience by tapping into local tastes to make sure favourite brands and popular products are ranked accordingly – this will increase the likelihood of showing the right product to the customer, thus increasing sales.
Retailers must not forget to take advantage of the swathes of customer data available to them through the growing number of channels in use. Social media can be a valuable way of cultivating loyal overseas brand followings by allowing consumers to share their experiences of a retailer with other enthusiasts while having product queries or suggestions taken on board by the retailer itself.
Social media activity surrounding a brand can also act as a barometer for how well it is doing in a particular country – retailers are rarely offered such candid insights into customers' true sentiments, so this information should be applied to improve and personalise the shopping experience.
The practical aspects of international trade are also vitally important. For example, thorough research into the most common female clothing size in a new country (which could vary from the UK average) can avoid any warehousing issues like running out of stock. By the same token, highlighting any products not available for international export will prevent customer frustration in the final stages of the shopping journey.
Cultural tastes can vary wildly. Some products in a catalogue may prove redundant in a new market, while niche items may skyrocket in popularity, creating a cult overseas following. In practice, this will entail tailoring the experience by promoting the most appropriate content for the audience and proactively analysing the resulting data to continually improve the online offering. Understanding and successfully tapping into what customers want will give retailers the best chance of long-term international success.

|Efficient is a thoroughbred racehorse out of Refused the Dance by Zabeel. He was born around 2003 in New Zealand, and was bred by Bloodstock Resources Ltd and Cambridge Hunt Ltd.

Efficient (foaled 2003) is a grey Thoroughbred racehorse gelding, bred in New Zealand, who won the 2007 Melbourne Cup,[2][3] ridden by Michael Rodd, and the 2006 Victoria Derby.[4]
Efficient was by the outstanding sire Zabeel from the mare Refused The Dance by Defensive Play (USA). He is a half brother to Guillotine, winner of the 2008 MVRC Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes.
In his first campaign in the spring of 2006 he put together five consecutive wins including the Group 2 Aami Vase at Mooney Valley and ending with a win in the VRC Derby by 2½ lengths. Following his Derby win Efficient was entered into the Melbourne Cup field, run three days later. However, he did not pull up well enough and so was scratched from the race and spelled instead.
Returning in the autumn Efficient had a very light campaign of just two starts. In the 1,400 metre Group 3 Schweppervescence Cup he finished fourth behind Haradasun and fifth behind Miss Finland in the Group One Australian Guineas over 1,600 metres.
As a four year old in the Spring of 2007 Efficient resumed in the Memsie Stakes at Caulfield and ran 10th beaten 7 lengths. At his next start he ran fourth in the Group 2 Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes behind El Segundo and Haradasun. He then ran unplaced in the 2,000 metre Group 1 Turnbull Stakes. Three weeks later Efficient lined up in the Weight for Age Group 1 Cox Plate over 2,040 metres at Mooney Valley where he finished 9th beaten 6½ lengths by the winner El Segundo. Efficient's next start was the Melbourne Cup, his first start in a handicap race since his first campaign. He dropped 3 kg from the Cox Plate run to carry 54.5 kg. Due to his poor recent form he was sent out a 16-1 chance. Reunited with jockey Michael Rodd for the first time since their 2006 Victoria Derby win, Efficient settled back in the field and travelled well. He was pulled to the outside to make a run and in the closing stages Efficient went on to defeat Purple Moon by half a length.
His win dividend of $22.70 was the biggest for a Melbourne Cup winner in over ten years. He became the first grey to win the Melbourne Cup since Subzero in 1992.
Efficient has had three starts since his Melbourne Cup win, with one run in the autumn followed by two lead-up runs to the 2008 Melbourne Cup. However, he had to be scratched from the 2008 Cup with an injury.
Efficient was trained by expatriate New Zealand trainer Graeme Rogerson to win the cup, but switched to John Sadler soon after Rogerson decided to part company with the horse's owners, a syndicate headed by Lloyd and Suzy Williams.[3]
In winning the Melbourne Cup, Efficient became the first horse since Phar Lap to win the Melbourne Cup the year after winning the Victoria Derby.
Efficient has had twenty starts for seven wins and no placings. His prizemoney earnings are over AUD$4.5 million.[5]

Cruise a big disappointment
Sail Date: June 01, 2010
Reviewed: 6 years ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Suite
The food offered was fairly standard, but the presentations were lovely. Service was good some nights, slow others, but we adapted with a bottle of wine.
We saw our stewards, whom I named Cheach and Chong, exactly 3 times. I'm sure they work hard, but sometimes the room wasn't cleaned until late afternoon, and the cleaning was surface, not depth.
This was my 9th. cruise and it will be my last with any Holland American ship.
Pros: The people we met on the ship.
Cons: Our "superior verandah suite."
Recommends Noordam? No.

TotT: Avoiding friend Twister in C++
October 30th, 2007 | Published in Google Testing
(resuming our testing on the toilet posts...)
In a previous episode, we extracted methods to simplify testing in Python. But if these extracted methods make the most sense as private class members, how can you write your production code so it doesn't depend on your test code? In Python this is easy; but in C++, testing private members requires more
friend contortions than a game of Twister®.
// my_package/dashboard.h
class Dashboard {
scoped_ptr<Database> database_; // instantiated in constructor
// Declaration of functions GetResults(), GetResultsFromCache(),
// GetResultsFromDatabase(), CountPassFail()
friend class DashboardTest; // one friend declaration per test
// fixture
You can apply the Extract Class and Extract Interface refactorings to create a new helper class containing the implementation. Forward declare the new interface in the
.h of the original class, and have the original class hold a pointer to the interface. (This is similar to the Pimpl idiom.) You can distinguish between the public API and the implementation details by separating the headers into different subdirectories (
/my_package/public/ and
/my_package/ in this example):
// my_package/public/dashboard.h
class ResultsLog; // extracted helper interface
class Dashboard {
explicit Dashboard(ResultsLog* results) : results_(results) { }
scoped_ptr<ResultsLog> results_;
// my_package/results_log.h
class ResultsLog {
// Declaration of functions GetResults(),
// GetResultsFromCache(),
// GetResultsFromDatabase(), CountPassFail()
// my_package/live_results_log.h
class LiveResultsLog : public ResultsLog {
explicit LiveResultsLog(Database* database)
: database_(database) { }
Now you can test
LiveResultsLog without resorting to
friend declarations. This also enables you to inject
MockResultsLog instance when testing the
Dashboard class. The functionality is still private to the original class, and the use of a helper class results in smaller classes with better-defined responsibilities.
Remember to download this episode of Testing on the Toilet and post it in your office.

Until now. When a message in a bottle is washed up on a shore, it becomes apparent that there must have been at least one survivor.
Peter is a broken man. He appears to struggle to contain his grief as he holds a heartfelt TV interview about his loss. But all is not as it seems. Beneath the grief lies a more sinister side; Peter is involved with a beautiful - and dangerous - younger woman, and it soon transpires that he knows more about his family's disappearance than he is letting on.
He seeks to find whatever remains of his family, but is he really looking for a happy reunion? And could it be that it isn't just Peter who is hot on the Dunne family's trail? The race is on to rescue any survivors and discover what happened aboard the luxury yacht.

There are no reviews for this title yet.
Easy listening drivel. Some unexpected plot twists, some glaringly obvious ones. I found the narrator's voice a tad annoying....
"Worst book I have listened to."
In two years of enjoying Audible books this is the poorest. The actual storyline is ok and the technique of two narrators also works well but what lets the book down is the dialogue. It is so cliche ridden that you can actually guess what the next line is going to be in 9 out of 10 cases! I have read other books by the same author and have never been as conscious of anything quite so crass before. This book will make me think twice about reading or listening to anything by the same author again.
An unputdownable thriller. Fast pace, mixture of characters, the voices used give you a good idea of the characters. Excellent fast read (or listen)
"Exciting and different"
A quick moving and exciting story with lots of twists and turns. Really enjoyable, easy going, lots of far fetched coincidences, as you might expect.

PRESS DIGEST-Wall Street Journal - Sept 5
Sept 5 (Reuters) - The following are the top stories in the Wall Street Journal. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.
* Interest rates on mortgages for pricey homes have dropped below those on smaller mortgages, an event that lending executives say has never happened before. Borrowing rates for so-called jumbo mortgages, which are too big for government backing, historically have been set higher than rates on what are known as conforming loans, which are backed by Fannie Mae , Freddie Mac or government agencies. ()
* The U.S. auto industry has shifted into high gear with new-car buyers snapping up vehicles last month at a pace not seen since before the financial crisis. Low interest rates and slow-but-steady job growth are encouraging consumers to trade in cars and trucks that average about 11 years old, say auto makers, which are adding production capacity and overnight shifts to satisfy demand. ()
* Just ahead of a meeting Wednesday to discuss last month's unprecedented three-hour trading outage, Nasdaq officials got another unexpected jolt: The main data feed for Nasdaq Stock Market-listed stocks went down again. While the hiccup was far less severe than the Aug. 22 outage the latest issue with the system again spotlighted exchanges' reliance on just a handful of data feeds to disseminate securities prices and quotations. ()
* Bond investors could get their first taste of Verizon Communications Inc's new debt to fund its $130 billion wireless acquisition as early as next week, according to people familiar with the matter. () Continued...

I have just bought a mint used Ricoh GX100. I was attracted by its design as a serious camera rather than just a point & shoot. Sort of a cheap digital Leica.
So far the results have been mixed. I am mostly struggling to get sharp shots. I had a suggestion that I should think differently; with such a small sensor shooting at f/10 does not help with DOF or sharpness. Rather shoot wide open. I have done so and the results are much better.
It also seems to be better shooting at arms length rather than using the VF1 electronic viewfinder.
Below are some test shots.

The club's annual statement of accounts sent to shareholders this week showed that Sir John, his son, Douglas, and Freddy Shepherd, another big shareholder, collectively earned pounds 2.45m last year - almost pounds 1m more than star striker and world-record signing Alan Shearer is said to be on.
But it emerged yesterday that Sir John, who is standing down from the board of the holding company at flotation, will not draw a salary after receiving pounds 836,302 last year.
The two other board members will receive pay packets worth between pounds 40,000- pounds 50,000 for performing their duties as non-executive directors in the quoted company. Last year Douglas Hall and Mr Shepherd were paid more than pounds 745,000 each.
The size of the directors' wage bill - and the state of the debt-laden balance sheet - has raised eyebrows among investors as they ponder Newcastle's proposed pounds 180m flotation.
One leading football analyst noted that even the reduced salaries of the two non-executives were large compared to those paid at Aston Villa, which this week announced plans for a pounds 120m-pounds 140m stock market listing.
"It's nice money if you can get it," he said. "But if you look at Villa's accounts, three non-executives earn between pounds 5,000-pounds 10,000. That's more like the going rate."
The huge boardroom salaries paid to the Newcastle board last year were defended by NatWest, brokers and financial advisers to the issue. "The management team did not draw a salary for four and a half years," explained Paul Deakin of NatWest Markets corporate finance arm. "It was always the intention to pay them that amount but it should have been put in a contractual agreement and spread over the period."
Sir John, who will remain chairman of the football club after flotation, has never had a service contract with Newcastle since he took control of the club in 1992. Family companies owned by Sir John and Mr Shepherd own about 90 per cent of the club. Their stake is likely to be reduced to around 70 per cent after flotation as neither Sir John nor Mr Shepherd is selling any shares. They are also set to receive dividends that could make up for the salary cut.
Newcastle hopes to clear debts of pounds 30m by raising up to pounds 50m from the float. In the year to 31 July the club made an operating profit of pounds 5.9m on sales of pounds 28.9m but reported a loss after transfer fees of pounds 23.2m.

If you're looking for an alternative way of playing Clash of Clans, you usually think about your computer or laptop. If that's what you wanted then we'll help you in a little way by these simple steps on how to make it possible. Since it's for Android OS, you can't directly run the APK file on Windows operating system so we need an app that runs on Windows and capable of handling Android files. In this case we want an Android emulator app where you can install and run APK and other Android files in it. You may be searching at Google on how to play COC on your PC and given thousand results. To make story short, you will need 'Bluestacks' app player to play Clash of Clans on PC.
Here's to install and Play COC on Windows 7/8 desktop or laptop:
Go to http://www.bluestacks.com/ to download Bluestacks App Player
If you're on limited data, I suggest to download it using wired internet as it 200MB plus file. It may takes time when you're using regular cellular data unless you're using 4G/LTE network.
Once downloading is done, proceed to installation.
Installation is just clicking Run, Next, Continue and Finish.
Go to your desktop and lock for Bluestacks icon.
You're almost done. Since Bluestacks works as an Android emulator, it works like your usual Android smartphone but in a bigger screen. It will ask you to sign in your Google or Gmail account, just key in the account you used in playing Clash of Clans on your phone.
After successfully signing in your account, you can now download any app you want. Of course, first thing first search Clash of Clans on the search button.
Click Clash of Clash on the results found, then click Install. It will download and automatically install the app.
If you are prompted with the screen below, just click install apps to continue what you are currently doing.
Once done you can now see the Clash of Clans on your Bluestacks Home.
Click the icon to start the app and now you're ready to attack.

Hypnotic agencies, according to Myers, may be simplified into suggestion and self-suggestion.
This is self-suggestion or deferred determination, be it with or without sleep.
What is called auto-suggestion, or self-suggestion, is one of the most active agencies employed in mind building.
This is a field in which self-suggestion is of definite value.
This is a faculty which can be very much aided by forethought and self-suggestion.
Can we propose any form of self-suggestion effective for all the human race?
Fahnestock seems to have obtained by self-suggestion with healthy persons results in some ways surpassing anything since recorded.
Here at last was a fixed point beyond the chance of confusion with self-suggestion.
self-suggestion, and no mere physiological nexus, is responsible for the sleep or the hysterical access which follows the touch.
He explains the definite and varying characters of the supposed authors of the messages as the result of self-suggestion.
mid-14c., "a prompting to evil," from Anglo-French and Old French suggestioun, from Latin suggestionem (nominative suggestio) "an addition, intimation, suggestion," from suggestus, past participle of suggerere "suggest, supply, bring up," from sub "up" (see sub-) + gerere "bring, carry" (see gest). Sense evolution in Latin is from "heap up, build" to "bring forward an idea." Meaning "proposal" appeared by late 14c., but original English notion of "evil prompting" is preserved in suggestive (1630s, though the indecent aspect did not emerge until 1888). Hypnotism sense is from 1887.
suggestion sug·ges·tion (səg-jěs'chən, sə-jěs'-)
Implanting of an idea in the mind of another by a word or act so as to influence conduct or physical condition.

By now, my dear friends, you surely know I am an avid traveller. However, I have never thought of myself as one to give travel advice. Certainly, I'll recommend a few hotels, bars, museums, sights and restaurants to friends who ask, but I'm a designer first and foremost, not a travel agent. And yet, a conversation just last week made me ponder about all the little hidden alcoves, side street spots and unknown views I've experienced… surely I should share?
And so I have for your viewing pleasure, a brief account of my favourite locations throughout London.
Hotel: The Rosewood
The first stop is a luxurious hotel that knows how to please. At The Rosewood they know how to welcome you in style - you begin by walking through a carriage archway into an Edwardian courtyard before you arrive at the grand building itself. Inside, there's Cuban mahogany, the very rare Swedish Green and Statuary marble, a sweeping Renaissance-style staircase… it's simply breathtaking.
Now, I haven't even started on the impeccable service, the dining room, the spa, the fitness suite, and the lavish Rivolta Carmignani Italian Linen… and I'm always a fan of having my own personal Nespresso coffee machine so easily acessable!
Out and about: Portobello Antiques Market
Now it may seem at odds with all the luxury of the Rosewood, but I can't help myself. There's something fascinating about darting in amongst the crowd of a market, rifling through antique treasures, finding the perfect little treasure to take home with you.
The British do antiques like no other (after all, they have so much more history than us). At the Portobello Antiques Market on Saturdays you'll find all manner of jewelry, instruments, china, war memorabilia, books, photographs, fur and furniture (my one true love!) If you're a discerning picker these markets are for you.
Shopping: All Saints
I stumbled upon this fascinating store purely by chance as I wandered along Regent Street one afternoon. The fashion is very forward and quite particular. A little bit steampunk, a little bit rock n' roll, the clothes are all about grungy, distressed style - and not a bright colour to be seen! However, I respect a designer who does not compromise on their style for the sake of popularity.
Yet it was the interior design itself that really drew my attention. Cotton reels, looms and old sewing machines are scattered across the floorboards or line the bare brick walls.
Bags hung on cogs, shirts lay folded on printing presses, and jewelry was presented from beneath large bell jars. Regardless of whether it's your style, I implore you to take a stroll through All Saints and take in the daring aesthetics.
So what do you think? Should I quit the designer life and become a travel agent after all?

Titanic is a cavernous place just off Piccadilly Circus, carved out of the old Regent Palace Hotel, and designed to attract the young and groovy late-night crowd who flock to the Atlantic Bar and Grill beneath it. The Atlantic has never appealed to me, because of its vast size and scary door policy. But I have fond memories of the hotel, whose Carvery was the first London restaurant I ever visited (not very groovy, but plenty of gravy, as I recall).
A phalanx of gelled and overcoated security men guards the Titanic's revolving doors, but once you've persuaded them that you're a bona fide young person with a reservation, and not a befuddled tourist in search of a good Carvery, you're allowed down a flight of shallow steps into a huge, noisy and rather dark version of an ocean liner's dining room.
On first impressions, Titanic is an Art-Deco approximation of Hades. Clamorous and impersonal, the enormous space is dominated by a central bar, packed with yelling drinkers, most of them in suits or little black dresses. Marooned incongruously in their midst, in colourful clubwear and On Golden Pond hat, sat a gloomy Geoff, like a steerage passenger reluctantly prodded up into first class.
Looking up from his paperback, he greeted me: "It's horrible here, isn't it?" And indeed it was, although we couldn't quite work out why. The restoration is sympathetic, the detail opulent, the atmosphere glamorous. But there's also something oppressive about the darkness, the techno-ish background music, the endlessly circulating cigarette-girls - the sheer scale and cynicism of a place designed for shouting and spending rather than talking and eating. It was, we agreed, the most Eighties place we'd ever been in, even during the Eighties.
After margaritas from a menu of gimmicky cocktails, many of which seemed to feature Kahlua, Baileys or Malibu, we moved to our table. Something struck me as familiar about the leather banquette seating, the etched glass screens and the elbow- jostling proximity of our neighbours; we were in Conranworld - just like the original, but bigger and louder.
The menu, too, is a distillation of contemporary brasserie orthodoxies. It borrows particularly freely from The Ivy, both in its layout and the inclusion of several of that restaurant's specialities, such as corned beef hash. Seafood and fish are well represented, but there isn't much of Marco in it, apart from upmarket reworkings of declasse favourites such as chicken Kiev. Prices are surprisingly reasonable, given the surroundings and location, with starters at about pounds 6.50, main courses at pounds 10.
Geoff is a Caesar salad connoisseur, and found the Titanic's satisfactory, mainly because the lettuce was very fresh. It was a Little Gem, not the traditional Romaine, but worked just as well, though it contained some unadvertised pieces of bacon.
I too went for an American starter, a clam chowder, after checking whether it was Boston or Manhattan style (one is creamy and thick; the other all tomato skins and brine). Happily, it was the Boston, but the thin, wine- flavoured liquid that arrived bore little relation to the stand-your-spoon- up heartiness of any chowder I'd ever had. Crunchy little vegetable morsels bobbed about in it, rather than soothing chunks of potato and bacon and, unforgivably, the fragments of potato it did contain tasted reheated.
My main course, smoked haddock, was much better - an undyed slab of firm, fresh fish, its saltiness offset by the soothing ooze of a poached egg and a buttery, chive-flecked bearnaise. Underneath, a patty of bubble and squeak was pleasingly rough-hewn. Less successful was the "steak hache a la McDonald's", Titanic's jokey take on the hamburger. Served with home- made tomato ketchup and US-style fixings, it was a towering thing, its scale mirrored by huge chips, each as thick as a sailor's thumb. But the meat was dry and flavourless, and the chips too big to pack any kind of crunch.
One thing we couldn't complain about was the service. Waiters arrived before we expected them, and our wine waiter - respectful, friendly and DiCaprio-cute - served up our maddeningly delicious Cloudy Bay as though we were the most honoured guests at the captain's table.
Titanic's desserts are reliable nursery favourites. You'd think it would be hard to go wrong with a sticky toffee pudding, but mine was neither sticky enough nor toffeeish enough. Geoff's bread and butter pudding slipped down more easily. "It's the best thing I've eaten all evening - which is a major indictment of the establishment," was his verdict.
Marco has promised that a three-course meal at Titanic should cost around pounds 20 a head for food, and ours did, but with all the extras, including pre-dinner drinks and a service charge, the total topped pounds 90. "It feels like we're really on the Titanic," Geoff concluded, as we surveyed the ranks of shiny-faced revellers. "Don't these people know there's a recession coming?" I suspect Titanic will do very nicely. I just don't think either of us will be making a return voyage

The landlord does not accept the following in this place:
Living close to the city centre is a great advantage and not easily topped. However, living right next to the city centre and in one of the most prized areas of Barcelona is like finding a gem. La Barceloneta isn't just another neighbourhood, it's a hotspot for amazing food, lovely green areas and a mandatory spot when it comes to relaxing, thanks to its beaches. Also close to the flat you'll find transport links, cultural attractions - such as Museu d'Història de Catalunya and Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, amongst many others - and Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Keep in mind that the famous Gothic Quarter is really close, so while your being amazed by the stunning architecture, don't get lost in the middle of the never-ending fiestas.
This apartment has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. As you see, this place has a mix of comfort, location and looks. Make sure you don't miss this opportunity!

La Barceloneta
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Editor's note: this is a guest post by James Miller.
With the arrival of 4K ultra HD displays, professional media makers and hobbyists alike are scrambling to get the gear to deliver the kind of quality content that will become standard in the very near future.
As the new iPhone 6s boasts the capability to capture photo and video content in this ultra hi-def format, some documentary filmmakers decided to take a look at whether or not it's worth all the fuss. The verdict: Whether you're a hobbyist or a pro, the iPhone 6s (plus a few add-ons) can deliver a surprisingly film-like viewing experience on a shoestring budget.
4K video is twice the pixel density of HD and delivers the "feel" of film for the sheer fact that it meets the same standards as the film you'd watch on the real big screen. Here's the touching short film produced and shot entirely with the iPhone 6s:
Pretty impressive, right? There is a cinematic quality about this film, no doubt. The audio and visuals are all supportive of the story and had you not been informed in advance, you might not think twice about how the production team actually captured this footage. Thankfully, they took the time to show us how they did it using everything from XLR lenses to drones. The list of accessories is somewhat long, but we identified the three essentials you'll need to create epic films iPhone 6s videos.
1. mCAM by Action Life Media
So you've enabled 4K video capture via your phone's settings and have begun to dabble in shooting some photos and videos but you're hitting a wall in terms of being able to get that shot you've imagined in your head.
This little accessory will take you a step in the right direction. If you're done "just messing around" with 4K video and possibly want to get paid for your work, the mCAM by Action Life Media will start to bridge that gap. And for $99.95-$109.95 for the starter kit, it's a pretty good deal.
Straight out of the box it comes with a 37mm wide angle / macro combo lens that allows you to shoot wide or close-up. This offers slightly more versatility than the factory iPhone 6s lens, but it will only whet your appetite for better. That's a good thing, because you probably won't feel right mounting this on ...

Bug, You can use a lockable pistol case for ammo. Load your magazines open end down in you mag carriers. I use cheap ones with a velcro flap. Put them in the pistol case and lock it with a padlock. My pistols go into a gun safe that has a combo lock and an ace lock. My EDC gear goes in the suitcase with the safe and pistol case. Also as Lima suggest you can buy ammo when you arrive but sometimes that is not convient. Using my method I can load up when I reach my destination without much attention or delay. Where are you looking to move to?

Study objective: To develop and validate a brief, computer-scannable, self-administered questionnaire to monitor health-related quality of life in patients with COPD. The Seattle Obstructive Lung Disease Questionnaire (SOLQ) consists of 29 items measuring four health dimensions: physical function, emotional function, coping skills, and treatment satisfaction.
Methods: A series of studies was performed to assess reliability, validity, and responsiveness. Internal consistency was measured using a cross-sectional survey of 203 COPD patients. Reproducibility was tested over a 4-month interval among 97 patients with self-reported stable conditions. To assess construct validity, SOLQ scales were correlated with corresponding Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (CRDQ) scales, the COPD Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES), percent predicted FEV1, and 6-min walk test. Treatment satisfaction scores of 920 subjects were correlated with a general measure of patient satisfaction. Baseline and follow-up scores of subjects were compared to assess treatment responsiveness.
Results: SOLQ scales were reliable (Cronbach's α 0.79 to 0.93, and intraclass correlation coefficients 0.64 to 0.87). Change in SOLQ scores correlated with corresponding CRDQ scales: dyspnea, r=0.42; emotional burden, r=0.49; mastery, r=0.36. Coping skills correlated highly with CSES, r=0.93. Treatment satisfaction correlation was r=0.54. Significant changes occurred in all three scales postintervention.
Conclusion: The SOLQ is a reliable, valid, and responsive measure of physical and emotional function, coping skills, and treatment satisfaction. Brief, self-administered, and computer scannable, it is useful in monitoring long-term outcomes among large groups of COPD patients.

Home Made Tire Carrier
I am thinking of building a tire carrier to hold a 33 tire for my Warn rear bumper. It's not the one that holds the tire carries so basically I will have to drill holes and weld. I don't feel like spending $300-$400 for steel tubes.
Anyway have any pics and ideas please post them..
This is a great thread.
^^ Best home-made carrier.
I was working up in Sacramento. There was a truck customizing shop that did a lot of Hummers. In the pimping process they remove the tire carrier. I modified it to the jeep wheel bolt pattern. I got the carrier and spare tire for $125 then sold the tire which paid for the carrier.
Not an option for everyone but it worked for me.

By Sue Chang and William Watts, MarketWatch
Trump election victory is accelerating a selloff in long-dated Treasury notes
Long-dated U.S. Treasurys fell Wednesday, propelling the 10-year Treasury yield to trade above 2%, a level not seen since January, on expectations Donald Trump will significantly boost fiscal spending as well as uncertainties from an untested president.
"Right now, it's a fear trade," said Kevin Giddis, head of fixed income capital markets at Raymond James. "While it is very early and most are trying to understand the forward thinking, the general perception is that a Donald Trump presidency will take us further into debt and ultimately be inflationary, affecting the values of all debt, including Treasurys."
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note soared 15.3 basis points to 2%--a level it hasn't touched in nine months. The yield on the 30-year bond jumped 20 basis points to 2.815%, according to FactSet. At the short end of the curve, yields bounced back with the two-year up marginally to 0.878%.
Yields at the short end, which had earlier declined on haven-inspired buying and fading expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in December, reversed direction. Bond yields and bond prices move in opposite direction.
"The Trump victory means the global deflation crisis may finally be resolved. It might be chaotic how it gets better, but deflation's prognosis is much poorer, with Trump. And that is ultimately good," said Richard Hastings, macro strategist at Seaport Global.
After an initial drop, U.S. stocks rebounded with the S&P 500 index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average both up about 1%.Stocks had been moving higher, suggesting that there was some appetite for risky assets, which can be bearish for government bond prices, lifting yields.
Rob Carnell, chief international economist at ING Bank, said aggressive protectionism espoused by Trump is likely to be the greatest threat to U.S. growth while expansionary fiscal policy could offset some of the adverse impact. However, the Fed is likely to view the market turmoil as a financial market tightening, "and the case for a December rate increase from the Fed has diminished substantially." However, fed-funds futures, a popular way for Wall Street to bet on the odds of a rate increase by the Federal Reserve, held steady, with the market pricing in a 76.3% probability of a December rate increase, according to CME Group data (http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/interest-rates/countdown-to-fomc.html).
Government-bond prices initially rallied across the board, pushing yields lower, asthe potential for a surprise Trump victory over Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton rose. Treasurys typically serve as a haven asset during times of uncertainty.
The dollar had weakened (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/dollar-mexican-peso-drop-as-trump-secures-us-presidency-2016-11-09) versus major rivals but has since recovered with the U.S. dollar index gaining 0.5%.
Analysts said expectations that Trump will pursue large tax cuts and a significant increase in public spending, particularly on infrastructure, could lead to bigger deficits that in turn would increase the supply of bonds, which would weigh on prices and push up yields.
"Away from the initial reaction to Trump winning...the fact that the Republicans appear set to control both houses in Congress will help get conservative policies through," wrote Kit Juckes, global macro strategist at Société Générale,in a note. "Not good for international trade, but potentially pointing toward lower tax rates and possibly, an easier overall fiscal stance if it's hard to get spending cuts through as an offset. More than an FX issue, that throws out questions about the bull steepening in Treasurys."
