Ever wondered why you spend so much time and other resources shuttling between different healthcare facilities to get services? Well, Factom (FCT) might have the answer for you. This is a blockchain based application that targets how data is stored and shared. Data stored on the Factom ecosystem is unalterable.
This is a trustless ledger that secures your decentralized data keep your identity under wraps. This is a functional coin that will disrupt many industries including healthcare, mortgage and learning institutions' systems. Data stored on Factom is secure due to its immutable capabilities.
Tim Draper has a soft spot for blockchain and stated:
"Centralized data is prone to critical failure by any individual mistake, whether by user error or malicious hacking. By decentralizing data through the blockchain, Factom avoids critical failures due to user error or hacker."
Factom (FCT) price Check
The price of the Factom (FCT) has been a concern for many after the market plummeted early this year. The coin has been able to withstand the storm and emerge immediately after shedding the December-January gains.
Exactly a year today (April, 12, 2017), the coin was trading at $4.86 before skyrocketing to a high $78.37 early January. After the market crash, the coin dropped to a low of $19.51 and has been steadily rising to the current trading price of$24.57 and gaining 19.97% points against the dollar.
The steady growth is attributed to the increasing real world application capabilities of the platform. Organizations are turning to the platform for securing and sharing data and other sensitive information. The increasing use cases and more crypto users looking for blockchain real life uses will see the coin stability and value increase in the next coming months.
Factom (FCT) Use Cases
To start with, Factom (FCT) allows users to add entries to the blockchain. As an open source data layer system, it instills honesty on how data is stored by businesses, institutions and individual. Entries to the blockchain are reentered immutable and can only be edited with your consent.
Patient healthcare data is very private and confidential and needs a platform that allows it to be shared anonymously, securely and in a transparent manner. Factom in the health sector acts as a central depository where data is stored and shared between patients, practitioners and other stakeholders.
Big companies find data storage as a big challenge; Factom offers them a system that the can trust with their information. The platform is now being used as an anchoring system where information is authenticated and time stamped every 10 minutes.
Factom is already transforming the mortgage industry and has more anticipated uses including SLA logs, property deeds, e-voting, healthcare record safe keeping and immutable audits among others. To sum it up, the network helps its users eliminate risks that are common with centralized data depositories.
Making Entries in to the Factom Blockchain
Factom charges users a small fee for data entries. The fee uses its native token known as Entry Credits (EC). These tokens are basically used to protect the stem from spamming. These tokens cannot be used no elsewhere or can they be redeemed. You can only purchase them from the factor exchange (FCT). EC can only be used to pay for Factom platform services.
The FCT coin however can be purchased from exchanges where it is listed. Some of the places you can buy FCT coins include Poloniex, Binance, OkEx, GDAX, UpBit and Huobi among others. Being backed by these exchanges means FCT has a global appeal the current popularity is based on the route to market the marketing team behind the coin have chosen.
Going by the historical data and market performance, Factom (FCT) is a coin to invest in. The opportunities behind the platform are many and many crypto enthusiasts tend to undervalue the coin. On the other hand, the team behind the platform is working hard to ensure user records are data are secured against hacking and manipulation.

Beverly Hills News – City Seeking Public's Input in Southeast In Motion Workshop
Posted: Monday, June 20, 2016 – 3:19 PM
By Victoria Talbot
The City of Beverly Hills is sponsoring a community workshop to get feedback from residents and businesses on the future La Cienega Subway Station. The public is invited.
Cities throughout the region are planning strategic accommodations at subway stops to take advantage of the opportunities presented, and to provide efficient services for those boarding and departing the trains.
The Southeast area of the City has long been eyed for economic revival, a condition dictated by the lack of parking and shallow lots. The addition of a subway that can bring business to the area that does not require parking presents new opportunity. The station provides opportunities for land use and businesses to supply amenities and provide transportation opportunities to complete the destinations of travelers.
The subway station will be located at La Cienega and Wilshire Boulevards.
The City is asking the community to join in for the third community workshop to assist in creating a plan for Southeast Beverly Hills in the Robertson-La Cienega corridors and the future La Cienega Station.
The event is 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, June 22 at the second-floor Beverly Hills Public Library Auditorium. Two-hour parking is free at the Civic Center parking structure located next to the library.
For more information contact Timothea Tway at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.beverlyhills.org/southeastinmotion

It's that time of year again when my home town holds its own folk festival. . .
It's a bit of a different affair this year as the Folk Festival is now standing alone from the normal month-long general Festival organised by the Council – still we soldier on regardless and the Folk Festival Committee has done a stirling job in getting together a few interesting events.
Once again I got persuaded ("conned"!) into doing all the publicity for the event – click here for the 'new look' flyer and visit the (very hastily put together) website here >>

To choose the best home staging courses, it's important to first research and understand what you need as a result. For instance, if your goal is to become an interior designer, you may want to take home staging classes within that educational context. If instead, you want to become a home stager only, conducting informational interviews with real estate companies or other potential employers to check what educational credentials they require can be a good idea. Also, weigh the value of the home staging courses you're considering with their cost.
For example, there are many professional home stagers who offer convenient online classes or study programs. Especially since these aren't schools, you'll need to ensure that they meet any home staging certification or accreditation standards set by your country or region. Otherwise, any money you spend on home staging courses won't be worth the cost. Also realize that if you decide to learn home staging from a distance education model, either through a certified home stager or an accredited school, you probably won't have the benefit of hands-on experience.
If possible, look for an accredited program that will include assisting a certified home stager on actual customer projects. If the home staging classes you're considering offer only theory and don't include hands-on training, these may not help you get the experience you need to start a career in the field. Be especially wary of non-accredited home staging courses that aren't even connected to qualified professionals in the industry. Even if the classes are being offered by experienced home stagers, books and DVDs to teach you theory may not be worth the cost if you won't receive proper certification, as you could likely research the same information yourself for free.
Home staging classes or programs that offer training by allowing you to assist on real projects may give you enough beginning experience in the field, along with the required education, to get the type of work you want upon completion of the courses. Again, it's important to research ahead what taking the home staging courses is likely to do for your career in the field to avoid disappointment and wasting your money. Another idea for getting additional hands-on experience is to check with reputable home staging businesses in your area who aren't selling courses, but may be able to offer you work as an assistant while you're learning class material elsewhere.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

The "Roomba" robotic vacuums, supplied by iRobot are available in 5 different models. Which one to choose? This page shows you clearly the differences and how you can find the perfect model for you.
The chart below lists more than a dozen features for each of the 5 models, currently available.
For more information on what each feature title means, just click on the title and you will be given a full description.
To see more details of each model, just click on the photo at the top of the chart

As you can see all 5 models are "self charging" This is because all models feature a "Home" station. Here the robotic vacuum parks and is automatically recharged.
Just make sure the Home Station is plugged into a power outlet!
Once the Roomba is in the charge mode, it will stay until charging is complete. It will start a new cycle if scheduled to do so or if manually started.
Note that the clean cycle time must be less than the run time or vacuuming will be incomplete.
The two 900 series models incorporate this feature. When the robot returns to Home for a re-charge, it "remembers" where it was in the cleaning cycle and upon completion, returns to the spot where it was and resumes cleaning.
Note that The 900 series have the longer run times and can clean larger areas.
Just the 880,960 and 980 have this ability.
The model 880 is unique in coming complete with two infra-red light equipped "Light Houses". These can be placed at doorways and then the robotic vacuum cleaner will stay in the first room until the cleaning cycle is complete and then enter the next room.
This is a more efficient way to clean than trying to finish two rooms and continually moving from room to room.
You can select to keep the vacuum permanently out of a room, if desired
The 960 and 980 do not use Light Houses but do have a longer run time and the navigation system comes with "Visual Localization". This enables the robot to see obstacles and compensate it's path.
The 980, with it's long run time of 2 hours, can clean up to 2,000 sq.ft. on a single level.
The 900 series have "Visual Localization" and vSlam® technology to create visual landmarks so it does not loose track of where it is or where it has been
This video is well worth a look because it shows so much. The 980 model is seen in action and a map is displayed, showing the path that the robot takes in cleaning an entire level.
Please note that the robot does NOT move at anything like the speed shown and will takes a few hours to clean an area of this size!
This is approximately how long the robotic vacuum will run after charging at the Home Station.
The times are for comparison purposes only! Run times can be affected by many factors, such as floor type, battery condition and how dirty the floor is!
This is another approximate time that can vary depending on battery condition and is shown for comparison purposes only.
Rechargeable batteries have a life span largely determined by the number of charge/recharge cycles it has been subjected to. When the run time and/or recharge time start to change then the time to replace the batteries may be approaching.
It is a bit like setting a digital alarm clock! You can program any time of the day to start and set up to 7 times per week.
The short video below shows how it works-
All models except the 650 use these rubber rollers. Good for all floor types and they reduce hair tangles.
The model 650 uses brushes that can be a problem to keep hair tangles to a minimum. (Especially if you have pets)
Just the 960 and 980 models have this feature. You can connect from your smart phone and check the status of the robotic vacuum. You can select custom cleaning preferences and change schedules. Very convenient!
This feature is only available on the 900 series models.
The 3 stages are-
On the 860,880 and 960 models there is 5 times the power of previous models and on the 980 you will experience 10 times the power.
The 650 has brush rollers instead of the extractors. Hair can more easily tangle. and can be a challenge to remove.
Only available on the 980 robotic vacuum: When a carpet is sensed, the vacuum motor is boosted to 10 times the power, to really dig deep and suck up the maximum amount of debris!
Optical and acoustic sensors detect high concentrations of dirt ,debris,dust and pet hair and the robot will do several passes over the area, ensuring it is as clean as possible.
A spinning side brush sweeps dust and dirt from wall edges and corners into the path of the 3-stage cleaning system.
High efficiency Heppa filters capture 99% of allergens, pollen and small particles down to 10 microns in size
Stairs are no problem for any Roomba model, Sensors "see"the edge of stairs and the vacuum reverses before it can tumble down.
A disadvantage with the sensors occurs if you have carpets with black strips in the pattern. Roomba assumes these are stairs and will not clean them!
I have heard of some customers taping over the sensors, so as to allow cleaning of the black stripes.
This unit can block off a doorway and prevent Roomba from leaving a room.
It should be placed on the outside of the doorway and the arrow, on top of the unit, should be pointed across the opening.
There are 2 modes that can be selected by a switch: When "Auto"is selected then the unit will be activated when the Roomba starts a cleaning cycle.. It will be switched off after 135 minutes.
2 alkaline "C cells are needed to power the virtual wall and they should last about 6 months.
This unit can be used as a"virtual wall" and keep the Roomba in the rooms that need to be cleaned.
If set to "halo" mode then a 4 ft. (1.2M) diameter keep-out zone is created, that can keep the robot away from pet dishes or Christmas trees etc.
Unit is powered with 2 AA cells and a set is included with the original purchase
This unit can be used for multi-room cleaning. It should be set up as shown in the diagram and then Roomba will clean each room completely and then be allowed to move to the next room.
It can also be used as a virtual wall and protect areas from the robot vacuum.
The lower switch turns the unit on and off. When "on" it is in a low current standby mode and is switched fully on when Roomba approaches.
The upper switch is to change from lighthouse mode to virtual wall mode.
It does require (2) "c" cells for power.

The Monday Morning WHIP // 164
Why? This week, Stan (http://branddna NULL.blogspot NULL.com) says that's the most appropriate question to ask.
When you show your work to people chances are there are gonna be things that people don't like.
It's an occupational hazard to be honest.
But rather than getting annoyed or trying to change their mind, I suggest you ask why they don't like it and how they would make it better.
Then go away and spend some more time with your unloved idea, and see if their feedback makes it better.
If it doesn't, disregard it. But please don't ignore it.
Try looking at your unloved idea from a number of different angles. Play with it a bit more. Change it completely.
Just don't put it back in your folio the way it is.Tweet

When's the last time you talked about somebody behind their back? The last time you made comments, however small, about something someone else said or did? Based off of my own personal experience, it was probably fairly recently, maybe as recently in the last week or so.
Looking at the last time you gossiped, why did you do it? You had something to say about this person, and for whatever reason, you decided that it was easier to go behind their back and say whatever it was to somebody else, or maybe even multiple people. Maybe you were in a group of gossiping people and in order to join in, you brought up something juicy to add to the conversation. "Did you hear what he said," or maybe, "I can't believe she did _____!"
Before I continue, I should point out that I don't mean to point the finger at you and scream "shame;" I've done my own fair share of gossiping in the past, as has nearly everyone. Whether we feel pressured into it by the conversation, or whether we simply enjoy creating drama in relationships, I'm willing to bet that every person you've met in your lifetime has gossiped about someone at least once. But, if I'm trying to get my point across to you, it makes the most sense for me to try and get you to think about your own actions, as opposed to somebody else's. But I digress…
The word itself, gossip, has an already unsavory stigma attached to it – we associate gossip with the popular kids at school or the celebrity tabloids. Most people I know shake their heads at publications such as The Enquirer, a celebrity tabloid with headlines that are the equivalent of physical, tangible click-bait, but those same people often bring up others in their own lives behind their backs, laughing, scoffing, or even fuming at them.
So…gossip isn't good. I don't need to tell you that. Next to nobody will say they "support" gossip if you ask them about it, but nearly everyone still gossips anyway. Gossip is bad, hurtful, and deceitful, as most people will agree. So why the hell do we still do it?
Is it like smoking? Smoking has been clinically proven to be detrimental to your health, but I know dozens of smokers. Certainly they're aware that it's bad for them, but they do it because, one way or another, they enjoy it. It relaxes them, they like the smell/taste, etc. So is that why people still gossip? I don't believe so, because while I know dozens of smokers, I know hundreds of people, and if each one of them gossips at least a few times, by that logic, they'd have to enjoy something about it. I refuse to believe that humanity is so incredibly demented that nearly all of us get our kicks out of going behind someone's back. It just doesn't add up, at least not for me.
I don't write about this today because I'm being gossiped about, because as far as I know, I haven't been recently (at least, not that I know of). I bring this up because I have experiences with friends who are being gossiped about, people whom I respect, admire, and care for immensely. The sad part is, the individuals who are doing the gossiping, I also respect, admire, and care for. If these people were fields of flowers, the part of them that gossips about others is scorched earth – burnt, dead foliage in a field of otherwise beautiful nature.
Again, I don't claim any innocence in this, nor do I believe really any of us can. I don't enjoy gossiping, but I've found myself doing it anyway when the conversation is leading towards it. This is something personal that I want to work on going forward – standing my moral ground with others, even when I feel pressured to conform to how they believe I should feel or act.
And while I've seen gossip many times in my life, I've also seen those who find out they're being gossiped about. I've seen tears, collapsing against the wall…I've even seen holes left by fists of rage, peppered into the drywall. It's heartbreaking. Whether the response to gossip is sadness, rage, or hatred, it all stems from a feeling of betrayal. Even if what was said about them wasn't "all that hurtful," the fact that it had to be brought up behind their back is often the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Absolutely nothing good comes of gossiping. All of us have our reasons we tell ourselves for doing it, but I swear to you that none of those reasons are worth it.
In the past few weeks alone I've seen so many people hurt emotionally by what has been said about them rather than to them by others, and I felt I needed to write something about it, partly to get it off my own chest. My mind is spinning and my heart is racing just writing this, because it's genuinely something I feel incredibly passionate about, even if I'm nowhere near where I want to be in my "stop gossiping" journey myself. But I'll be damned if I'm not going to try to get there.
Stay strong, and remember others.
– Ryan

So you'd like to see yourself in print, maybe in your favourite cake magazine, well don't be put off and think you're not good enough, everyone between the covers of a magazine started where you are now.
But there's more to it than putting a few words on a page and sending in your favourite pictures, editors love discovering new talent and the only way they will know that you exist is if you let them know.
Here are a few things to do to take you one step closer:
1. Choose the magazine you would like to be in.
2. Find the editors page and see if there's a contact email or a submissions email address.
3. Send a short email asking them how you go about submitting ideas for an article, alternatively if the magazine has a website then check to see if they have submission guidelines on there.
4. If you are at a cake show and the magazine has a stand then go and talk to them about submitting articles, face to face will give you a better chance of impressing the editor than a simple email.
5. Don't expect an immediate reply to your email, editors are very busy and their inboxes will have more emails in them than yours.
6. Put your design head on, magazines are always looking for stunning images, new skills and techniques, if they can catch a readers eye with your cakey creation then they're happy. Don't send them anything that they've already seen a hundred times before unless it has a new twist.
7. If you don't get a reply from the editor then try another magazine, it's not that you're not good enough it's just that they may have someone doing the same sort of thing already on their books.
These are the things that an editor may ask for:
1. A colour sketch or collage of your ideas, better still if you've got a photograph, editors aren't always cake people so assume they know nothing about cake and then you won't assume they know something that's important to your design.
2. Some magazines will send you a style guide in which they wish you to write or a format to which your piece will have to conform, this could be a set word count for the whole article including material and equipment lists, written in a certain font, submitted in plain text format with no formulas or presets. At the end of the day the editor wants to cut and paste your words directly into the system they use to create an article and not have to mess around altering anything…help them out and they will use you again. Make sure you have a copy of the magazine when you create your article as it will help as a visual guide.
3. Photography is a big thing obviously and different magazines deal with this in different ways, some will arrange a photographer to come to you, some will insist you bring your project and steps to them for photography (normally at your own expense), or they may ask you to do your own photography, if his happens make sure you ask if the images need to be in a certain orientation eg landscape or portrait, also ask is a there a resolution or image size you have to conform to.
4. Ask how the editor would like all of the text and images sent to them, they may suggest burning them to a disk and mailing or using a shared folder in Dropbox or sending them through a system called WeTransfer.
5. Now at this point you may think it's ok to hire a photographer because you want to do your creation justice with good images, nice idea but very expensive.
6. Okay let's burst your bubble a little, don't think you're going to make money from this……I've been writing magazine articles for years and have lost count of how many I've written, a lot of the time I've been paid nothing because I've been told it raises my profile in the public eye, the most I've ever been paid is £150 for one article. Now take into account out of that money you have to pay for all of your materials and equipment, any travel to and from a photoshoot, sometimes you even have to buy the magazine to see your own article when it comes into print. Not a lot of money at the end of the day and I can assure you the money does not cover the time you've spent making and planning the project.
Why do I keep doing it, there's a certain thrill to opening a magazine in your high street shop to find you're within its covers, better still is walking into your stationery shop and finding that you've been given the cover and there is your artistry looking down at you.
Yes it does raise your profile in the public eye and if you can do it enough times and become a household name amongst the cake decorating community it could open doors to you. It will help you generate some good images for your website and portfolio, it will also challenge you as a designer to think outside the box and try to find the next big thing….maybe a new colour scheme a new shape, a new technique.
Good luck and I hope to see you in print soon.

What Big Arms You Have . . . and So Many
It's in Disneyland, of course. Being prepared for underwater duty is the giant squid that "terrorizes" passengers of the huge park's submarine ride.
Composed of rubber, the lengthy tentacles are operated by a system of compressed air and interior wires. They reach out at the excited kiddies as they ride by.
