Quick Snacks: Nutty Hemp Cashew Salsa
Mmmmmmm this is my favorite way to make salsa that has some good nutrition in it too. It can happen. Yes, you can make your own salsa from scratch, but this recipe involves using a jar of Organic Salsa. That is the quick part. This is how to improve store bought organic salsa, or regular homemade salsa. The following amounts of the ingredients are approximate, and you can adjust to your individual taste, and to the amount of salsa you are making. I just want to give you the overall idea of what to add into the salsa of choice, to make it a nutty super-food special! Once you pour your salsa into a bowl, just take a few seconds of your precious time to add a handful of raw organic cashew pieces, 2 TB hemp seeds, 2 tsp nutritional yeast, 1 TB flax powder, and 1 tsp of chia seeds. Mix and let mixture sit while you go to the pantry to get a bag of Garden of Eatin' Organic Blue Tortilla Chips, or Mediterranean Snacks Baked Lentil Chips.
I can assure you that this super salsa is always the hit of the party! Although I say...that you can go ahead and make some just for yourself, on any old day. I won't tell....just don't eat the whole bag of chips....save some for another day of crunch satisfaction. A handful is fine. Using some chopped carrots and celery even better! This is such a hearty nutty salsa, that is so totally satisfying, and so filling, that you really will not eat too many chips after all. Oh that does look yummy! For you sporty types, this would be a perfect addition to the game snack table.

"Chasing Dreams"
8x10 acrylic on canvas
Available through DPW gallery/auction
I lost a dear friend yesterday.
Sad, very sad.
It made me think of this piece of mine, Chasing Dreams.
And of something I wrote a long time ago.
And I wonder if you know me, or would like to if you don't,
and I wonder if you understand what I'm telling you upfront,
That it really doesn't matter if we're different or the same,
That it really doesn't matter if we're different or the same,
We all are dogs or sailing ships in Parker Brothers game,
and once again I ask of you to quietly refrain,
from saying that I'm wrong,
each day bears a song,
life goes ever on.
Take a moment today & tell someone you love them.
Life is full of moments,
but never as many as we think there are.

A Research Proposal and Its Writing
A research proposal is a tricky challenge for the student. Furthermore, it requires much time to make a good proposal and to state clearly important facts and arguments. A research proposal is a really extensive task that is the part of the most work-intensive assignments in the academic practice. However, it can be easily done with the following of the effective structure and understanding the needs of the teacher. There are some of them, and you should take them into account during the writing of the task.
Title page
Firstly one should write good title page that is the start of the paper and the easiest part of the assignment. It should include some personal data, the title of the research proposal and the other data regarding the paper.
Creation of title
Creation of title can be a tricky thing as it will be the main topic of the paper. To write the title just after the writing of the proposal can be a good decision. Brainstorming, creating the arguments can help come up with a general idea of the paper. You should create an approximate title as the teachers should know whether you are on the right track or you have chosen the wrong topic for analysis. Finally, you will get a good title that will suit the task and its requirements.
Managing the time for the assignment
After the creation of the title, one should think of the time that is required for the task completion. Some people think that writing of a research proposal is an easy thing, and it can be done within few days as it is not the research. It is only a proposal. However, in fact, it requires much more time as one should study many resources, learn the main arguments that are available and develop a strong text relevant to the chosen topic. Otherwise, a proposal will be poor, and your academic career can be doomed.
Therefore, you should think twice of the deadline and better decision to estimate time with some ample to have time for this. Missing the deadline is a strict violation of the rules and can even lead to the decreasing of the mark. Therefore, one should clearly estimate how much time is needed to paper itself and how much can be required for the editing and making some corrections to the paper as raw version, even of the research proposal will never lead to good feedbacks.
After the title comes the summary or the thesis statement of the project, this part introduces the main arguments of the paper and claims your position, so here you should include the main facts, which are supporting idea in the paper. This part is a summary of the paper. Many authors write this part of the paper even before the other parts. Meaning that you can investigate the main arguments and further writing will be based on them.
Literature review
Then one should include the review of the literature. This part is quite hard as it requires the reading of the books and their understanding. So, this part is the hardest one. Mostly these are the most important of the research proposal, and you should make them before the writing of the whole paper as they involve the main idea of the proposal and sources that are used.

Yes, we finally have a logo for our Wire Goddess Team on Etsy - this fabulous piece of
wirework by the very talented Ruth Jensen:
wirework by the very talented Ruth Jensen:
It was fun making something as a challenge, and we also have our first Wire Goddess
challenge up and running, with a theme of Harvest Time, appropriately for this early
onset of Autumn. My entry is this Harvest Moon pendant:
It gave me a chance to play with my polymer clay for a change, and although I knew exactly
what I wanted to do, I think 'challenge' is the correct word, I struggled a bit with this one!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing all the other entries, and I'm enjoying having specific
themes to work to for a change.
In other news, I noticed that there were very few earrings and rings in my Etsy shop, so I'm
working to fix that - there are several new pairs of earrings now available, and when I've
finished the ring I'm currently making (for myself - to take on my hols!), I hope to add some
more. Is there anything people would like to see there that they don't currently? Challenge
me - I'm up for it! :D
(Oh, and apologies for the weird font and spacing on this entry - Blogger is doing my head
in at the moment!)

We've all heard stories about people who lose money through bad investments.
Some put money into schemes advanced by friends or family members. Other people might get "tips" from a variety of sources that promise their advice will lead to a "sure thing." Still others might overhear investment advice from a professional but misunderstand and invest unwisely.
Smart investing is critical when planning for retirement; that's why many people turn to professionals for investment advice. However, not all advisers are created equal, just as not all investments are right for everyone who has money to invest.
Stockbrokers and some financial advisers are held to a "suitability" standard. They recommend investment products considered "suitable" for a given client. Another standard is termed "fiduciary," meaning the adviser must act in what's believed to be the client's best financial interest.
A range of investment products might meet the suitability standard, with some returning more in fees to the adviser than others. It's in the adviser's interest to recommend a product that will earn the pro a higher fee; even if it's not the best fit for the client, it's still "suitable."
Maine's Department of Professional and Financial Regulation cautions investors that "brokers may recommend investments that appear suitable but may not be optimal for investors' objectives." The PFR website goes on to say, "Because of the manner in which they are compensated, it is possible for brokers to have incentives to sell financial products that may not entirely align with clients' goals."
With that bit of background, we come to a proposal by the U.S. Department of Labor to update rules governing financial advising. Current rules were written during the Ford administration. Since then, total investments in IRAs, 401(k) plans and other defined distribution plans have swelled and will reach $7.3 trillion by 2016. That's an estimate by the Securities Industries and Financial Markets Association, or SIMFA, a trade group representing securities firms, banks and asset managers.
The Labor Department has for several years proposed changing the definition of fiduciary regulation; the department said recently it will withdraw its current proposal and issue a new one shortly. A coalition of consumer and labor groups is calling for rules requiring all financial advisers to put clients' interests first when giving retirement advice. On its website ( www.saveourretirement.com), the coalition charges that the financial advising industry "wants to continue slicing off large pieces of that pie by selling retirement investments with hefty costs, poor returns, and high risks."
SIMFA calls the last proposed rule "overbroad" and said it would "limit investment choices and drive up costs for the individuals it is intended to protect."
SIMFA says 149 U.S. representatives and 34 senators have written to the Department of Labor and the Office of Management and Budget in opposition to the proposed regulation and the expected new proposal.
Meanwhile, the Financial Planning Association, Certified Financial Planner Board of Standard Inc. and National Association of Personal Financial Advisers are calling for certification of financial planners who operate "with fiduciary accountability and transparency."
This coalition argues that the "title 'financial planner' should be recognized as distinct from sales persons – and held to corresponding competence and ethical standards similar to those required of a CPA, doctor or lawyer."
When choosing a financial planner, ask "How will you be compensated? What are your qualifications? What is your general philosophy on investing? What kind of client turnover have you had in recent years?"
When asking for advice on investing your money, you want to feel comfortable with answers to those and related questions.

McCoy Tyner
Hank Mobley was a perfect artist for Blue Note in the 1960s. A distinctive but not dominant soloist, Mobley was also a very talented writer whose compositions avoided the predictable yet could often be quite melodic and soulful; his tricky originals consistently inspired the young all-stars in Blue Note's stable. For this CD, which is a straight reissue of a 1965 session, Mobley is joined by trumpeter Lee Morgan, trombonist Curtis Fuller, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Billy Higgins (a typically remarkable Blue Note lineup) for the infectious title cut, three other lesser-known but superior originals, plus Wayne Shorter's "Venus Di Mildew."

"A course in happiness" is a personal development and well-being program available as eBook and eCourse. You can order here two versions of our eBook:
– $18.50 version: our eBook using AmAre as a framework to cultivate joyful living and personal development
– $98.00 version: our eBook, which also contains in the index the url and password to access our eCourse,to use AmAre as a framework to cultivate joyful living and personal development
The first eleven chapters of "A course in happiness, meaning, motivation, and well-being" are based on AmAre, an acronym for personal development which stands for "being":
– Aware and Accepting
– Meaningful and Motivated
– Active and Attentive
– Resilient and Respectful
– Eating properly and Exercising
They also address questions like "Is happiness an inside job? Or does it depend on external factors?" by thinking in terms of degree of facilitation. Some events are like a weight, making harder for people to fly; some are like a lift, facilitating people's happiness. But, at the end of day, considering even the way human beings discern between weights and lifts is subjective (same event can be considered in various ways, and especially with different degrees of effect, by different people), happiness is about attitudes, it is not a place to reach through external factors. Enjoying the life from moment to moment is beneficial, getting attached to what gives pleasure is not. Pain happens, suffering is optional; change happens, growth is subjective; it is up to each person to decide which direction is taken.
Two other chapters are devoted to measuring the external outcomes of living happily, both on a personal and social level. The last two chapters are showing the connection between Consciousness and Science of happiness, and how to start Shifting paradigms to facilitate our joyful living.
The Appendix offers examples of how AmAre can be applied to several aspects of daily life (relationships, peace, parenting, etc.), an Overture to future releases, short Inspirations, a list of Suggested readings, a final assessment of the personal AmAre index and a wrap-up to put all together with an action plan.

Published on February 23, 2016_updated title Nov 21, 2017
by Donna Jack
This post was originally started August 19, 2015, but I didn't put it on the public site at that time. It is being published today to demonstrate some of the serious problems in public education.
One of the problems is that students are given only one way to look at the world – through the eyes of people who hate this country. They are taught not to think. That is the viewpoint of the 2014 and 2015 AP US History framework.
I continue to hope that if students and graduates are able to hear and see the truth, they may begin to understand that they have been deceived through the conditioning in our public schools.
This blog piece continues the theme of what compulsory schools (public schools) are training our children to become. One of the things they are being taught to do is disobey or disregard law. They also are being taught there is no value in the founding documents of our country: The Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They are not even made aware of their content. This is done intentionally in order to gain control of their attitudes, beliefs and behaviors.
Schools in this country do not teach cursive, so most students, and a growing number of graduates, are unable to read cursive. They don't even consider that they can teach themselves to write and read cursive.
Without this skill, they cannot read the original founding documents of our country, as they were written. They they have to rely on what others say are in the founding documents.
Our nation was designed to be a nation with laws that protect individuals and minorities. This was meant to make all people equal under the law (and free) — that there would be no special favors or exceptions to singularly reward or punish. The logical outcome of making exceptions, carving our favors or punishments, can be seen today, as we are moving closer to tyranny.
(linked definition of tyranny, from merriam-webster.com: cruel and unfair treatment by people with power over others. : a government in which all power belongs to one person : the rule or authority of a tyrant.) ]
Words on YouTube: "Education Policy Analyst Ross Izard takes a look at the changes made to this year's Advanced Placement U.S. History framework, and what those changes tell us about last fall's "censorship" controversy in Jefferson County, Colorado."
Background to the controversy
This past school year Colorado Jefferson County board of education member Julie Williams proposed that there be established a community curriculum review committee. One of the things that spurred this on was her reading of the left-slanting, America-hating 2014 Advanced Placement US History (APUSH) Framework. Several people in Jefferson County had looked at this framework as well, and were upset.
One of the main duties of the Colorado Jefferson County School Board is to decide what curriculum is to be used in the classrooms. The school board needs need to review (and have others review and share with them examples from in the curriculum), so the board can decide, with knowledge, what curriculum they should choose for the school district to purchase for the schools.
To date, this responsibility has not been adequately addressed, and the boards have rubber-stamped what the school district "experts" recommend in a school board meeting – or several school board meetigns. Unfortunately the school district "experts" have a financial or power interest in which curriculum is chosen – or they have a bias from working within the system.
The entire school board (3 republicans and 2 democrats in 2015) voted to implement the then-new-flashy-expensive math curriculum recommended by the experts.
The new members didn't get to review other choices of curriculum ahead of time, and didn't have input from people who outside the school system.
When Julie Williams became aware of serious problems with the new AP US History Framework (problems she saw that that people in Jefferson County and across the nation also reported), she proposed a review committee made up of citizens. This review committee was not to be made up of people within the school district (district personnel or people already on the district curriculum review committee).
Previous people on the district curriculum review committees had not done their job. It was revealed in a school board meeting that reviewing curriculum before it was to be voted on by the board, just wasn't happening with the committee, with rare exception. Even if and when they met, they saw no problems with the Type #2 approach to education, so didn't challenge proposed curriculum. Check here to see the difference between Type #1 and Type #2 education.
When Julie proposed the community review committee at a school board meeting, the opposition (union members and others) exploded, and jumped on their excuse for the recalls they had planned from the election almost 2 years earlier.
The unions decided right there at the presentation of the idea for the citizen curriculum review committee, to make up a "censorship" issue. One thing that especially upset the unions was that Julie didn't like civil disobedience to be taught.
Isn't civil disobedience breaking the law? Wasn't that what the teachers, administrators, unions, etc. displayed with all the student/faculty walk-outs during school hours not long after this explosive meeting?
Wikipedia defines civil disobedience as: Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal to obey certain laws, demands, and commands of a government, or of an occupying international power.
Is this what we want the schools teaching our children to do? These students and teachers were supposed to be in school. They were instructed to break the law and walk out of school and protest.
Well, because thousands of people across the country saw the same problems with the new APUSH Framework, and even a group of scholars from across the country signed a document that expressed to the College Board their concern over the 2014 AP US History Framework, the College Board had to admit that they were indeed censoring out all the good stuff of US History. They said they "redid" the 2014 AP US History Framework (APUSH), and published the 2015 AP US History Framework.
Schools frantically contacted the College Board (which owns the AP US History), asking if schools districts were going to have to get new textbooks and other teaching supplies and training. The College Board said that all the textbooks and other teaching material would remain the same. Question: What kind of changes did the College Board do that didn't require schools to make any changes in AP US History? Really nothing.
One example of this slant to the left in the public schools was witnessed in a statement by a student testifying at a school board meeting. The student said that if you took everything bad out of American History there would be nothing left. It would be boring.
Look at the Home Page of this site to see Type #1 and Type #2 education compared. The AP US History was and continues to be Type #2, no matter how they say they "change" it. It is Type #2 that is destroying the mental and moral aspects of students today – their attitudes, beliefs and behaviors are being shaped into what Type #2 education conditions them to be.

Warde hold off St. Joseph 55-51
By Chris Elsberry
FAIRFIELD — Libby McKenna's only basket of the game turned out to be the biggest.
The Warde senior took an outlet pass off a turnover at midcourt and outraced two St. Joseph defenders to the basket to score with 61 seconds left to play to give the Mustangs a three-point lead and Caroline Aufiero added three crucial free throws in the final 36 seconds as Warde held off a heroic upset bid by the Cadets, winning 55-51 Tuesday night at the Mustangs gym.
"We've been doing this all year and I'm really proud of them. They didn't give up," Cadets coach Chris Lindwall said. "They responded, which is what we've been doing all season. This is our fourth game (losing) by four now, we've had the lead, but we just can't finish the game. We're making some young mistakes, silly mistakes."
St. Joseph lost its third straight to drop to 2-7 on the season but it was the fourth time the Cadets lost by seven points or less. They are a team without with just two seniors and started Tuesday's game against the Mustangs with four juniors and a sophomore.
"We're just trying to find the right fit to where we are," Lindwall said. "Everyone did what we wanted them to do for three quarters of the game."
Warde hadn't played a game since losing to Staples in the finals of the Todd Berger Christmas tournament on December 29 and it showed in the first half against St. Joseph. Not only did the Mustangs miss eight free throws in the first half, they missed the first 11 shots they took — many from point blank range — as the Cadets took a 20-19 lead into the locker room at halftime.
"In the first half, they definitely pressured us a lot more … we hadn't played in 12 days so we were rusty, but I credit them a lot, they played us so tough," Warde forward Olivia Parisi said, who led the way for the Mustangs with 22 points. "They covered the middle which is kind of our strong point, they did a good job with that."
To the point where, with 3:49 left in the third quarter, St. Joseph held a 35-27 lead.
That's when Warde's defense finally changed the game.
The Mustangs put together a 17-2 quarter-ending run, sparked by a pair of 3-pointers from Toni Lamparski, to head into the final eight minutes with a 44-37 lead.
"I had to protect the kids with the fouls trouble we had so we kept changing defenses, our diamond, our pressure, out run and jump, we did our multiple defenses and the bench stepped up," Warde coach Dave Danko said. "Toni made a couple of huge three's, the kids on the bench stepped up and did some things and that's the sign of a good playoff team."
"We went into the locker room at halftime and we were like, the rust is all off us now, we're going to come out and play with same intensity they were playing with and go farther," Parisi said. "We had some huge plays from people on the bench, Toni made some huge 3's at crucial times, it was a team effort."
Despite the quarter-ending run by Warde, St. Joseph refused to go away, pulling within 50-49 with 1:34 left on a basket by Emma Elrod, but McKenna's big basket and Aufiero's free throws locked down the victory.
"We didn't answer the bell against their pressure," Lindwall said. "Dave did a nice job mixing up his defenses to throw Kathryn off a little bit. They're an experienced team, a lot of those kids played a lot last year. We were able to contain Libby, which was a goal of ours and we tried to contain Olivia as much as we could."
Added Danko: "They made a run but they didn't get the lead. They got within one or two … our hands were tied by the amount of fouls we had in the first half because of our sloppy play but we weathered the storm. The defense wasn't the problem, it was us being unable to finish (in the first half), we left so much out there."
Warde's Olivia Parisi. The senior scored 16 of her game-high 22 points in the second half as the Mustangs staved off the Cadets upset bid.
St. Joseph's Elena Ball. Fifteen of her team-high 17 came in the second half as the Cadets battled to the very end to steal away the win.
"St. Joe's has lost some close games this year, they've been in a lot of close games against good teams. We were fortunate that we stayed out of foul trouble in the second half and that allowed us to put a little more pressure on them." — Warde coach Dave Danko

Page 3: Independent Business Owners (IBOs)
In order to understand what IBO customers want in terms of products and service, Amway builds up typical customer profiles. These are made as full and accurate as possible. In that way, Amway can target its current support services. Equally important, it is able to anticipate the future needs of its various customer groups, and can target them with specific product information.
Amway knows that most IBOs are entrepreneurial individuals who want to sell quality products to people they know or meet. Most also fall into the ABC1/2 categories of socio-economic grouping. This is often used by marketing departments to segment the total audience and identify particular groups they want to target.
Most of Amway's IBOs are well educated and ambitious, and many have families. Working from home, they supplement their family income mainly by working part-time, although some work full-time. Most of these IBOs have web access, many of them having bought PCs to support their children's educational progress.
The research revealed that many IBOs felt they needed more support for their selling activities. In particular, they wanted quick, secure access to more accurate, up-to-date information that related specifically to them. The answer had to lie in a carefully constructed, properly run, well thought-out Internet operation.

In our FINISH programme more than 75% of sanitation density was reached in 717 villages in different states in India.
To sensure sustainability a social enterprise was established by the FINISH society: the FINISH Services and Management Company (FSMC). FSMC aggregates household demand for sanitation and translates this into bulk purchases of material and actual construction. Large parts of the proceedings of this organisation directly flow back into FINISH Society to carry on activities for raising awareness and demanding construction of sanitation in the communities. This safeguards the sustainability of the programme in India.

Publication details
Post-print of: Hughes, M & Heycox, K 2006, 'Knowledge and interest in ageing: a study of final-year social work students', Australasian Journal on Ageing, vol. 25, no. 2, pp. 94-96.
Published version available from:
Peer Reviewed
Objective: To evaluate social work students' knowledge of older people's issues and their interest in working with older people in the future. Method: Fifty-five final-year students completed a questionnaire, including a knowledge/myths instrument and an interest scale. Independent variables included students' prior contact with older people and exposure to a course on ageing. Results: Students achieved an average 70.4% success rate on the knowledge/myths instrument; no student got all answers correct. Interest levels were moderate with an average score of 5.13 on a 10-point scale. Prior participation in ageing courses was positively correlated with knowledge of older people's issues and interest in working with older people. Conclusions: Correlations between course attendance and students' knowledge and interest are in line with international findings. Such courses should challenge common myths associated with ageing and should promote social work with older people as skilled practice within complex health, welfare and family systems.

- Transcript Body:
- 1. technologyflow.in http://www.technologyflow.in/how-to-install-android-on-pc/ How to install Android on PC by Three methods While Android 5.0 Lollipop just beginning to be deployed on smartphones and tablets of the moment, we often forget that there is another method to test the latest mobile operating system from Google. Today we are presenting on How to install Android on PC with three simple methods. For example by launching its Android Lollipop PC via an emulator for developers. But thanks to our tutorial, handling becomes everyone! Your PC is possible to run Android, and the truth is it's very simple, but there are several ways. Want to know how to install Android on a PC? Follow these simple steps. How to install Android on PC? 1. Install Android on PC by Using Android SDK: To begin, we offer a tutorial centered around the Android SDK. Behind this name hides the Google SDK that we will use to start an integrated emulator. The latter is able to run many versions of Android including one that interests us recently. This tutorial was done on a PC running Windows 8.1 64-bit. The screenshots in this folder so from this version, but it is possible to achieve the same result with Mac OS X, Linux (32-bit or 64-bit) or even on a Windows 32-bit mode. Requirements: Download and install the JDK (Java Development Kit). Without it, it is impossible to carry out the operations explained in this tutorial.
- 2. Download the latest version of the Android SDK (click Download Eclipse ADT and select 32-bit or 64-bit depending on your machine). These components are based on the whole basis of this folder. You know what you have to do! Thanks to which we can download Android Lollipop and other necessary tools. Download the Android SDK zip file to your PC (32 or 64 bits). Unzip it in a place to remember, since you will use later. Open the SDK Manager program and wait for it to load. Open the program from Start menu. Then click on "Tools" you must select Android SDK Platform-Tools. Choose whole Android 5.0 (API 21) section. Click "Install Packages", accepts and confirms the installation. The process will begin automatically. Creating Android emulator Lollipop: After completing the previous installation, return to the Android-SDK folder and open the AVD Manager. Then click on the create button and a window where you can set the parameters of the emulator, where we introduce the following appears:
- 3. AVD Name: the name of the emulator, but not space. For example, Emulator Lollipop. Device: select one of the preset models. I recommend Nexus 5. Target: Android version to install (Android 5.0 – API 21) CPU: ARM selected. Skin: select "Skin with dynamic hardware controls". RAM: 512 or recommend allocate 1024 MB (will be "stolen" from the PC, so do not overdo this figure). Securities not specify default values should stay. Then press OK. The first time you open the emulator may take a few minutes to start, like when you install on a smartphone. You can configure the emulator the size they appear on the screen of your computer. Congratulations, you have Android Lollipop on your PC. Immerse yourself in Material Design and tell us what it is to experience Lollipop on a personal computer. 2. How to Install Android on PC with Andy emulator: Andy is an emulator, free, free and easy to install that will allow you to have the Google operating system on your laptop or your desktop computer. The emulator promises a full Android experience on your desktop, including the user interface stock, free Google Play Store, application synchronization with your smartphone or tablet, notifications and more.
- 4. All messaging applications, games and other tools that heretofore thought unique to mobile devices can now be used from the PC. Also, for more players offers a feature that may be more interesting, is that during the smartphone games we can serve as a joystick. How to Install Android on PC with Andy emulator : The first is to download the application to your desktop. No matter if you have Mac, Linux or Windows operating system. It's the same executable for all. You can download it from the official website of Andy . Then just follow a few simple steps to install Andy. The emulator works exactly like when you first configure an Android device. You have to register the Google account, choose the language, time and date and those details. Finally, on our desk a home screen that is actually directly application drawer appears. We see some tools available, but we have access to Play Store from where we can download more. At first glance, therefore, is actually a full-fledged Android emulator. You could replace small laptops and make them more practical. How about Andy? Read the installation tutorial: How to install WhatsApp messenger app using Andy Android Emulator 3. How to Install Android on your PC with Bluestacks: Bluestacks is another emulator widely used to have Android on PC, but has less functionality than the two options that I have shown above, although it is easy to use.
- 5. First, we must download the emulator from its official website . We must have Android SDK installed on your PC. It's simple, no need to be guided, as the program helps you. Bluestacks also installed like any other program on your PC, which makes the whole process very simple. Once the terminal process, it automatically opens the emulator to begin moving on it. You can install applications or APKs you have downloaded to your PC. Despite being an option, we recommend option 1 or 2 as the most useful, being Bluestacks the last option in our opinion. Conclusion: The given above are most popular methods. After installing the android on PC., we will get the android environment like Android smartphone. If your computer is enabled with Internet, You can access the Google play store and install every app which is useful like Whatsapp, Viber, Games and any other popular apps. This methods on How to install android on PC is very useful for Android lovers. Have Android on your PC? Have you made through these options or know others?View More

Here's an excellent speech by David Kappos, the Director of the USPTO.
I particularly liked this excerpt: "Software patents, like all patents, are a form of innovation currency. They are also ecosystem enablers, and job creators. The innovation protected by software patents is highly integrated with hardware. All of it must remain eligible for protection. The current software patent "war" is hardly the first patent war—and unlikely to be the last in our nation's patent history. Whenever breakthrough technologies come onto the scene, market players find themselves joined in the marketplace by new entrants. The first instinct of the breakthrough innovators is to bring patents into play. This is not only understandable, it is appropriate. Those who invest in breakthrough innovation have a right to expect others to respect their resultant IP. However, in the end, as history has shown time and time again, the players ultimately end up agreeing to pro-consumer solutions via licenses, cross-licenses or joint development agreements allowing core technologies to be shared."
Indeed. Of course I'm biased. But the fact remains that without at least one patent application (preferably more) in play, you're not going to get far in generating serious commercial interest in your new software product. And it remains baffling to me why Europe and the other software naysayers don't get on board with this. The future is software and preventing innovators from protecting it adequately by way of patents is short-sighted.
So why the pic? Don't forget that without some meaty algorithms you're going to have troubles...

The patch is actually comprised of the Western Garbage Patch, located near Japan, and the Eastern Garbage Patch, located between the U.S. states of Hawaii and California.These areas of spinning debris are linked together by the North Pacific Subtropical Convergence Zone, located a few hundred kilometers north of Hawaii. This convergence zone is where warm water from the South Pacific meets up with cooler water from the Arctic. The zone acts like a highway that moves debris from one patch to another.The entire Great Pacific Garbage Patch is bounded by the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. An ocean gyre is a system of circular ocean currents formed by the Earth's wind patterns and the forces created by the rotation of the planet. The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre is created by the interaction of the California, North Equatorial, Kuroshiro, and North Pacific currents. These four currents move in a clockwise direction around an area of 20 million square kilometers (7.7 million square miles).The area in the center of a gyre tends to be very calm and stable. The circular motion of the gyre draws debris into this stable center, where it becomes trapped. A plastic water bottle discarded off the coast of California, for instance, takes the California Current south toward Mexico. There, it may catch the North Equatorial Current, which crosses the vast Pacific. Near the coast of Japan, the bottle may travel north on the powerful Kuroshiro Current. Finally, the bottle travels westward on the North Pacific Current. The gently rolling vortexes of the Eastern and Western Garbage Patches gradually draw in the bottle.The amount of debris in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch accumulates because much of it is not biodegradable. Many plastics, for instance, do not wear down; they simply break into tinier and tinier pieces.For many people, the idea of a "garbage patch" conjures up images of an island of trash floating on the ocean. In reality, these patches are almost entirely made up of tiny bits of plastic, called microplastics. Microplastics can't always be seen by the naked eye. Even satellite imagery doesn't show a giant patch of garbage. The microplastics of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch can simply make the water look like a cloudy soup. This soup is intermixed with larger items, such as fishing gear and shoes.The seafloor beneath the Great Pacific Garbage Patch may also be an underwater trash heap. Oceanographers and ecologists recently discovered that about 70% of marine debris actually sinks to the bottom of the ocean.While oceanographers and climatologists predicted the existence of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, it was a racing boat captain by the name of Charles Moore who actually discovered the trash vortex. Moore was sailing from Hawaii to California after competing in a yachting race. Crossing the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, Moore and his crew noticed millions of pieces of plastic surrounding his ship.Marine DebrisNo one knows how much debris makes up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre is too large for scientists to trawl. In addition, not all trash floats on the surface. Denser debris can sink centimeters or even several meters beneath the surface, making the vortex's area nearly impossible to measure.About 80% of the debris in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch comes from land-based activities in North America and Asia. Trash from the coast of North America takes about six years to reach the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, while trash from Japan and other Asian countries takes about a year.The remaining 20% of debris in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch comes from boaters, offshore oil rigs, and large cargo ships that dump or lose debris directly into the water. The majority of this debris—about 79,000 tons—is fishing nets. More unusual items, such as computer monitors and LEGOs, come from dropped shipping containers.While many different types of trash enter the ocean, plastics make up the majority of marine debris for two reasons. First, plastic's durability, low cost, and malleability mean that it's being used in more and more consumer and industrial products. Second, plastic goods do not biodegrade but instead break down into smaller pieces.In the ocean, the sun breaks down these plastics into tinier and tinier pieces, a process known as photodegradation. Scientists have collected up to 750,000 bits of microplastic in a single square kilometer of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch—that's about 1.9 million bits per square mile. Most of this debris comes from plastic bags, bottle caps, plastic water bottles, and Styrofoam cups.Marine debris can be very harmful to marine life in the gyre. For instance, loggerhead sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellies, their favorite food. Albatrosses mistake plastic resin pellets for fish eggs and feed them to chicks, which die of starvation or ruptured organs.Seals and other marine mammals are especially at risk. They can get entangled in abandoned plastic fishing nets, which are being discarded more often because of their low cost. Seals and other mammals often drown in these forgotten nets—a phenomenon known as "ghost fishing."Marine debris can also disturb marine food webs in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. As microplastics and other trash collect on or near the surface of the ocean, they block sunlight from reaching plankton and algae below. Algae and plankton are the most common autotrophs, or producers, in the marine food web. Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own nutrients from oxygen, carbon, and sunlight.If algae and plankton communities are threatened, the entire food web may change. Animals that feed on algae and plankton, such as fish and turtles, will have less food. If populations of those animals decrease, there will be less food for apex predators such as tuna, sharks, and whales. Eventually, seafood becomes less available and more expensive for people.These dangers are compounded by the fact that plastics both leach out and absorb harmful pollutants. As plastics break down through photodegradation, they leach out colorants and chemicals, such as bisphenol A (BPA), that have been linked to environmental and health problems. Conversely, plastics can also absorb pollutants, such as PCBs, from the seawater. These chemicals can then enter the food chain when consumed by marine life.Patching Up the PatchBecause the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is so far from any country's coastline, no nation will take responsibility or provide the funding to clean it up. Charles Moore, the man who discovered the vortex, says cleaning up the garbage patch would "bankrupt any country" that tried it.Many individuals and international organizations, however, are dedicated to preventing the patch from growing.Cleaning up marine debris is not as easy as it sounds. Many microplastics are the same size as small sea animals, so nets designed to scoop up trash would catch these creatures as well. Even if we could design nets that would just catch garbage, the size of the oceans makes this job far too time-consuming to consider. The National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration's Marine Debris Program has estimated that it would take 67 ships one year to clean up less than one percent of the North Pacific Ocean.Many expeditions have traveled through the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Charles Moore, who discovered the patch in 1997, continues to raise awareness through his own environmental organization, the Algalita Marine Research Foundation. During a 2014 expedition, Moore and his team used aerial drones, to assess from above the extent of the trash below. The drones determined that there is 100 times more plastic by weight than previously measured. The team also discovered more permanent plastic features, or islands, some over 15 meters (50 feet) in length.All the floating plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch inspired National Geographic Emerging Explorer David de Rothschild and his team at Adventure Ecology to create a large catamaran made of plastic bottles: the Plastiki. The sturdiness of the Plastiki displayed the strength and durability of plastics, the creative ways that they can be repurposed, and the threat they pose to the environment when they don't decompose. In 2010, the crew successfully navigated the Plastiki from San Francisco, California, to Sydney, Australia.Scientists and explorers agree that limiting or eliminating our use of disposable plastics and increasing our use of biodegradable resources will be the best way to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Organizations such as the Plastic Pollution Coalition and the Plastic Oceans Foundation are using social media and direct action campaigns to support individuals, manufacturers, and businesses in their transition from toxic, disposable plastics to biodegradable or reusable materials.
Strange Cargo
When ships are caught in storms, they often lose cargo to the oceans. The following are just a few of the strange items that have washed up on shores:
- In 1990, five shipping containers of Nike sneakers and work boots were lost to the Pacific in a storm. People in Washington and Oregon snatched up the shoes on shore, holding swap meets to find matched pairs to wear or sell.
- In 1992, rubber duckies floated in the Pacific when a ship lost tens of thousands of bathtub toys. The ducks were accompanied by turtles, beavers, and frogs.
- In 1994, a ship lost 34,000 pieces of hockey gear, including gloves, chest protectors, and shin guards.
Quotable Captain
"So on the way back to our home port in Long Beach, California, we decided to take a shortcut through the gyre, which few seafarers ever cross. Fishermen shun it because its waters lack the nutrients to support an abundant catch. Sailors dodge it because it lacks the wind to propel their sailboats.
"Yet as I gazed from the deck at the surface of what ought to have been a pristine ocean, I was confronted, as far as the eye could see, with the sight of plastic.
"It seemed unbelievable, but I never found a clear spot. In the week it took to cross the subtropical high, no matter what time of day I looked, plastic debris was floating everywhere: bottles, bottle caps, wrappers, fragments. Months later, after I discussed what I had seen with the oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer, perhaps the world's leading expert on flotsam, he began referring to the area as the 'eastern garbage patch.'"
Capt. Charles Moore, discoverer of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, in an article for Natural History magazine in 2003Worldwide Garbage PatchesThe Great Pacific Garbage Patch is not the only marine trash vortex—it's just the biggest. The Atlantic and Indian Oceans both have trash vortexes. Even shipping routes in smaller bodies of water, such as the North Sea, are developing garbage patches.

Amazing Service...
We had a fantastic time in Bratislava with a huge thanks to Albie who organised our transfers, gun shooting range, bar crawl with Mishka and was able to give us suggestions of things to do and places to go all weekend. Albie made the trip totally stress free and looked after us all on the night of the Bar crawl. I would highly recommend Bratislava Stags to anyone visiting and would definitely use them again when returning

Moduli of Prym Curves
Here we focus on the compactification of the moduli space of curves of genus $g$ together with an unramified double cover, constructed by Arnaud Beauville in order to compactify the Prym mapping. We present an alternative description of it, inspired by the moduli space of spin curves of Maurizio Cornalba, and we discuss in detail its main features, both from a geometrical and a combinatorial point of view.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 14H10, 14H30.
Keywords and Phrases: moduli of curves, étale and admissible double covers, spin and Prym curves.

Takashi Shimizu's The Grudge 2 hits theaters October 13th.
Yahoo! Movies have posted two interviews and a clip that was shown at this year's San Diego Comic Con. The sequel delves into the secrets behind the grudge's wrath and introduces a seemingly unrelated host of new characters who find themselves connected by the curse.
