Apple has begun removing apps containing "overtly sexual content" from its App Store, according to developers.
Multiple developers independently reported on Thursday that they received a letter from Apple stating that apps containing sexual content were no longer allowed due to complaints from customers:
The App Store continues to evolve, and as such, we are constantly refining our guidelines. Your application, Wobble iBoobs (Premium Uncensored), contains content that we had originally believed to be suitable for distribution. However, we have recently received numerous complaints from our customers about this type of content, and have changed our guidelines appropriately.
We have decided to remove any overtly sexual content from the App Store, which includes your application.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter. If you believe you can make the necessary changes so that Wobble iBoobs (Premium Uncensored) complies with our recent changes, we encourage you to do so and resubmit for review.
iPhone App Review
Apple did not respond to a request for comment.**
Pornography has played a confusing role in the history of the App Store. When Steve Jobs introduced the App Store in June 2008, porn was at the top of the list of content that would not be allowed in apps. However, a few apps containing nudity have snuck into the App Store in the past, only to be pulled by Apple later. Ever since, apps containing only partial nudity (e.g. "Beautiful Boobs," or "Asian Boobs") have appeared in the App Store.
Apple as of Friday has removed a number of apps containing partial nudity. However, Apple still appears to be in the process of removing them, as a quick search in the App Store still reveals some of these apps (as pictured to the right).
One of the apps that remains is Playboy. Alex Miro, owner of the iPhone app reviews blog Krapps, questioned whether the ban would also apply to big publications who print photos containing sexual imagery such as Playboy or Sports Illustrated, since it might hurt Apple's relationships with publishers who were planning to produce magazine apps for the iPad.
"Let's see if they have the balls to remove Playboy, Sports Illustrated, Maxim or Hooters," he said. "Those need to be taken down."
We'll find out soon enough.

There are some moments and some hotels that are so perfect that you'd actually have to try to forget them… Our stay at The Scarlet, Cornwall, was just that: a perfect romantic retreat. But let's take a step back and start at the beginning.
The Scarlet has long been at the top of my list of UK hotels that I wanted to stay at and so when I was invited to stay I couldn't have said yes more quickly! It's a part of Mr & Mrs Smith hotels, a brand that I always look to when choosing a hotel, so I was fairly sure it was going to be a magical stay, but I was completely unprepared with how much I was going to fall in love with The Scarlet.
We checked in early as we had a lunch reservation nearby, and left our luggage at reception. And that's when I first noticed that The Scarlet is different. There's no reception desk, just sofas and plenty of space to put your feet up and feel as though you're at home and not in a hotel.
After our tour of the hotel, which I'll tell you about in the next post, we were shown to our room, which was on the ground floor, next to the spa. Our room was part of the 'Just Right' category: an open plan bedroom and bathroom decorated in soft, welcoming tones.
With the bed facing the coastline it's the perfect place to wake up, throw open the curtains and enjoy one of the best views in Britain.
The Scarlet is a luxury eco-hotel, meaning that wherever possible they try to reduce their carbon footprint. So not only is the bed the fluffiest, comfiest bed that you'd expect from a luxury hotel (and covered in linen that I was oh-so-tempted to buy when we got home), but it's also responsibly sourced, and been chosen with the environment in mind.
It also means that there isn't the traditional coffee maker or kettle in your room as that's not very planet friendly, but you can phone reception at any time day or night (and I tested that!) and they will happily bring you a warm drink.
The decor of the room itself, as I said is warm and homely. But I loved that it had the space for my city friendly high heels, Burberry handbag and White Company snood (an essential for a British winter!)…
…but also reminded you of your country setting, and so was perfect for my Dubarry boots and Weekend Journals guide to Cornwall.
When I was planning my trip I was so grateful for my Weekend Journal: it's a beautiful travel guide which gives you a hint on where to stay, where to eat and what to see no matter where in fair Cornwall you are. A bit of a lifesaver if you don't have the time to research the trip completely on your own.
And that, to me, was the beauty of The Scarlet: it was all designed so that your experience could be exactly what you wanted it to be. If you want to get dressed up in your heels and dress for dinner then you can. Or, if you want to spend the entire time outdoors, that's entirely possible too.
As soon as I had jumped on the bed, squealed with excitement that we were finally here, I saw the view…
The beauty of the Cornish coast is something that gets me every time. The last time we visited we were staying in St Mawes, but its the area around Newquay that I love the most.
And on our little balcony there were two seats which were perfect to watch the sunrise, sun set, or even just watch the tide come in…
The bathroom is set just behind the bed, with a spacious bath and sink right behind the head board and the shower and loo set back, behind frosted glass.
Luxurious, eco-friendly toiletries await, as well as a beautiful little pot of bath salts to make your bath that little more indulgent.
After freshening up and soaking in the view with a glass of champagne, it was time for a very exciting and very romantic experience…
So we popped on our dressing gowns and headed to the spa reception – after I had one more moment listening to the waves crash on the beach!
We were shown into the light relaxation room, an area of the spa where there are seats, swinging pods and recliners to allow you to truly relax and appreciate your surroundings.
We were booked in for a sunset hot tub for two, which I had been looking forward to for months. I've seen so many photographs and Instagrams of these hot tubs, and I couldn't quite believe I was finally there
The hot tubs over look the ocean and are full of heavenly warm water (especially heavenly when you're staying in November and it's rather cold outside!). The water is still so that you can listen to the waves crash on the ocean, which we also found gave us the time to really enjoy the other's company and conversation.
But a moment like that calls for something if you ask me…
With champagne in hand, a view I couldn't get enough of and Andy with me, I couldn't have been happier. It really was one of the best travel experiences of 2016.
The Scarlet is an adults only hotel which at that moment made complete sense: time to just enjoy the company of the person you're with. Which I suppose is just how The Scarlet came to be known as one of the most romantic hotels in the UK.
After watching the sunset, finishing our glass of champagne and laughing more than I can remember, our host kindly brought our robes back from where they had been hung, and we headed back to our room to get ready for dinner.
A Cornish dream come true is the only way I can describe our first afternoon at The Scarlet – and it's one that I don't think I'll ever forget.

We were guests of The Scarlet, but I would very happily go back again and again and again… So all opinions are definitely my own.

Does anyone have them? I can't seem to be able to find any. And no, I don't need a source to watch Initial D online, just .ass or .srt files. And if you have for more than First Stage like Second or Fourth. Please let me know.

Localised badger culling can more than double the risk of TB infecting cattle, a new Medical Research Council study has shown.
The results come as the government considers whether farmers should be allowed to organise badger culls in selected areas. They confirm that responding to TB outbreaks by killing local badger populations can significantly raise the risk of more cattle contracting the disease.
This is different from "proactive" culling which systematically eradicates badgers from known problem areas covering at least 150 square kilometres.
In a few days the government is expected to announce whether farmers in selected areas of western England should be granted licences to carry out proactive badger culls.
Prof Christl Donnelly, from Imperial College London, who led the Medical Research Council trial, said: "These findings add to the evidence that localised reactive badger culling has a detrimental effect on tuberculosis risk for cattle.
"This may explain why culls in the past were ineffective at reducing the incidence of bovine TB."
Surviving badgers from a partly culled group tend to wander over a larger area and may have increased contact with neighbouring cattle, leading to the spread of TB, experts believe. This is known as the "perturbation" effect.
Reducing badger numbers may also allow other infected animals to enter territory from which they were previously barred.
Bovine TB is a major animal health problem in Britain. In 2009, one in every 10 herds tested showed evidence of the infection, resulting in the slaughter of 35,000 cattle.
Over the past ten years, the slaughter of infected cows has cost the British taxpayer around £500m.
Efforts to control the disease have been hampered by the transmission of TB bacteria between wild badgers and cattle. This has led some farmers to declare war on the badger.
The new findings, published in the Royal Society Journal Biology Letters, are based on analysis of data from the 10-year Randomised Badger Culling Trial (RBCT) set up by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) in 1998.
Trial areas were randomly assigned to different culling strategies, including mass "proactive" culling, "reactive" localised culling, and no culling.
An earlier analysis of the trial data published in 2003 found that localised reactive badger culling increased the incidence of bovine TB in cattle. This led to the practice of reactive culling in response to bTB outbreaks being suspended. However, some experts questioned the way in which the results were interpreted.
The new research, using data from 1998 to 2007, focused solely on herds in the reactive culling areas.
Prof Donnelly's team compared herds with confirmed bTB with herds that were tested but showed no evidence of infection.
The results showed that any localised "reactive" culling operations in the year before a TB outbreak and within one kilometre of the affected herd more than doubled the risk of cows falling ill. This was after adjusting for the number of confirmed outbreaks nearby.
Leading zoologist and government adviser Lord Krebs, architect of the RBCT, had already criticised the policy of badger culling because it only reduced TB in cattle by "12-16%".
He said: "You leave 85% of the problem still there, having gone to a huge amount of trouble to kill a huge number of badgers. It doesn't seem to be an effective way of controlling the disease."
David Williams, the chairman of the Badger Trust said: "This research shows that if you carry out localised culls where there are infected animals it's the worst thing you can do."
A Defra spokesman said: "The findings are consistent with the approach set out in last year's consultation, which did not propose reactive culling.
"Professor Donnelly's work on proactive badger culling has shown that the benefits have continued in the years since the randomised badger culling trial, while the negative effects of perturbation disappeared soon after culling stopped."

Eskimo armor
The Eskimo armor is an armor set consisting of the Eskimo Hood, Eskimo Coat, and the Eskimo Pants. Each piece is very rarely dropped from Zombie Eskimos, each having a 0.67% drop chance.
Wearing the full set does not provide a set bonus. It grants a total of 4 defense.
Due to its low defense and high rarity, it is generally favored more as a vanity set rather than a viable armor set.
Set[edit | edit source]
Crafting[edit | edit source]
Used in[edit | edit source]
|Crafting station
|Pink Eskimo Coat
|Work Bench
|Pink Eskimo Hood
|Pink Eskimo Pants
total: 3 row(s)
Tips[edit | edit source]
- The best way for hunting this set is killing Zombie Eskimos during a pre-Hardmode Blood Moon, with both a Battle Potion and a Water Candle in effect.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- This armor set may be a reference to Popo, one of the protagonists of the vertical platform video game Ice Climber which was developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985. Popo wears an outfit almost identical to the Eskimo armor.
- Eskimos are the indigenous peoples who have traditionally inhabited the northern circumpolar region. In Canada and Greenland, the term "Eskimo" is predominately seen as pejorative and has been widely replaced by the term "Inuit", even though the Inuit are a distinctive group of aboriginal peoples in Canada.
- Eskimo armor is one of 7 armor sets that do not provide a set bonus, the others being Angler armor, Gladiator armor , Ninja armor , Obsidian armor , Pink Eskimo armor, and Rain armor .
- On Mobile, the armor is named as follows: Snow Hood, Snow Coat and Snow Pants. This applies to the Pink Variants as well.

Configuring replication (by alaric)
Storing all your data on one disk, or even inside one computer, is a risky thing to do. Anything stored in only one, small, physical location is all too easily destroyed by flood, fire, idiots, or deliberate action; and any one electronic device is prone to failure, as its continued functioning depends on the functioning of many tiny components that are not very easily replaced.
So it's sensible to store multiple copies, ideally in physically remote locations.
One way of doing this is by taking backups; this involves taking a copy of the data and putting it into a special storage system, such as compressed files on another disk, magnetic tape, a Ugarit vault, etc.
If the original data is lost, the backed-up data can't generally be used as-is, but has to be restored from the backup storage.
Another way is by replicating the data, which means storing multiple, equivalent, copies. Any of those copies can then be used to read the data, which is useful - there's no special restore process to get the data back, and if you have lots of requests to read the data, you can service those requests from your nearest copy of it (reducing delays and long-distance communication costs). Or you can spread the read workload across multiple copies in order to increase your total throughput.
Replication provides a better quality of service, but it has a downside; as all the copies are equally important, you can't use cheaper, slower, more compact storage methods for your extra copies, as you can with backups onto slower disks or tapes.
And then there's hybrid systems, perhaps were you have a primary copy and replicate onto slower disks as a "backup", while only using the primary copy for day-to-day use; if it fails then you switch to the slower "backup replica", and tolerate slower service until a new primary copy is made.
Traditionally, replicated storage systems such as HDFS require the administrator to specify a "replication factor", either system-wide or on a per-file basis. This is the number of replicas that must be made of the file. Two is the minimum to actually get any replication, but three is popular - if one replica is lost, then you still have two replicas to keep you going while you rebuild the missing replica, meaning you have to be unlucky and have two failures in quick succession before you're down to a single copy of anything.
However, this is a crude and nasty way of controlling replication. Needless to say, I've been considering how to configure replication of blocks within a Ugarit vault, and have designed a much fancier way.
For Ugarit replication, I want to cobble together all sorts of disks to make one large vault. I want to replicate data between disks to protect me against disk failures, and to make it possible to grow the vault by adding more disks, rather than having to transfer a single monolithic vault onto a larger disk when it gets full.
But as I'm a cheapskate, I'll be dealing with disks of varying reliability, capacity, and performance. So how do I control replication in such a complex, heterogeneous, environment?
What I've decided is to give each "shard" of the vault four configurable parameters.
The most interesting one is the "trust". This is a percentage. For a block to be considered sufficiently replicated, then copies of it must exist on enough shards that the sum of the trusts of the shards is more than or equal to 100%.
So a simple system with identical disks, where I want to replicate everything three times, can be had by giving each disk a trust of 34%; any three of them will sum to 102%, so every block will be copied three times.
But disks I trust less could be given a trust of 20%, requiring five copies if a block is stored only on such disks - or some combination of good and less-good disks.
That allows for simple homogeneous configurations, as well as complex heterogeneous ones, with a simple and intuitive configuration parameter. Nice!
The second is "write weighting". This is a dimensionless number, which defaults to 1 (it's not compulsory to specify it). Basically, when the system is given a block to store, it will pick shards at random until it has enough to meet the trust limit of 100%. But the write weighting is used as a weighting when making that random choice - a shard with a write weightinh of 2 will get twice as many blocks written to it as a normal block, on average.
So if I have two disks, one of which has 2TiB free and the other of which has 1TiB free, I can give a write weighting of 2 to the first one, and they'll fill so that they're both full at about the same time.
Of course, if I have disks that are now completely full in my vault, I can set their write weighting to 0 and they'll never be picked for writing new blocks to. They'll still be available for reading all the blocks they already have. If I left the write weighting untouched everything would still work, as the write requests failing would cause another shard to be picked for the write, but setting the weighting to 0 would speed things up by stopping the system from trying the write in the first place.
The third parameter is a read priority, which is also optional and defaults to 1. When a block must be read, the list of shards it's replicated on is looked up, and a shard picked in read priority order. If there are multiple shards with the same read priority, then one is picked at random. If the read fails, we repeat the process (excluding already-tried shards), so the read priority can be used to make sure we consult a fast, nearby, cheap-to-access local disk before trying to use a remote shard, for instance.
By default, all shards have the same read priority, so read requests will be randomly spread across them, sharing the load.
Finally, we have a read weighting, which defaults to 1. When we randomly pick a shard to read from, out of a set of alternatives with the same priority, we weight the random choice with this weighting. So if we have a disk that's twice as fast as another, we can give it twice the weighting, and on a busy system it'll get twice as many reads as the other, spreading the load fairly.
I like this approach, since it can be dumbed down to giving defaults for everything - 33% trust (for a three-way replication), and all the weightings and priorities at 1 (to spread everything evenly).
Or you can fine-tune it based on details of your available storage shards.
Or you can use extreme values for various special cases.
Got a "memcached backend" that offers fast storage, but will forget things? Give it a 0% trust and a high write weighting, so everything gets written there, but also gets properly replicated to stable storage; and give it a high read priority, so it gets checked first. Et voila, it's working as a cache.
Got 100% reliable storage shards, and just want to "stripe" them together to create a single, larger, one? Give them 100% trust, so every block is only written to one, but use read/write weightings to distribute load between them.
Got a read-only shard, perhaps due to its disk being full, or because you've explicitly copied it onto some protected read-only media (eg, optical) for security reasons? Just set the write weighting to 0, and it'll be there for reading.
Got some crazy combination of the above? Go for it!
Also, systems such as HDFS let you specify the replication factor on a per-file basis, requiring more replication for more important files (increasing the number of shard failures required to totally lose them) and to make them more widely avilable in the cluster (increasing the total read throughput available on that file, useful for small-but-widely-required files such as configuration or reference data). We can do that to! By default, every block written needs to be replicated enough to attain 100% trust - but this could be overriden on a per-block basis. Indeed, you could store a block on every shard by setting a trust target of "infinity"; normally, when given a trust target it can't meet (even with every shard), the system would do its best and emit a warning that the system is in danger, but a trust target of "infinity" should probably suppress that warning as it can be taken to mean "every shard".
The trust target of a block should be stored along with it, because the system needs to be able to check that blocks are still sufficiently replicated when shards are removed (or lost), and replicate them to new shards until every block has met its trust target again.
Tell me what you think. I designed this for Ugarit's replicated storage backend and WOLFRAM replicated storage in ARGON, but I think it could be a useful replication control framework in other projects, too.
The only extension I'm considering is having a write priority as well as a write weighting, just as we do with reads - because that would be a better way of enforcing all writes go to a "fast local cache" backend than just giving it a weighting of 99999999 or something, but I'm not sure it's necessary and four numbers is already a lot. What do you think?

What Is the White Stuff on a Baby's Tongue?
The sight of a gurgling, well-fed baby warms nearly everyone's heart. Alarm bells may start to jangle inside a new parent's head, however, when he spies a coating of white stuff on his baby's tongue. Instead of assuming the worst, a parent needs to switch gears to investigative mode, Make a quick and thorough examination of the strange, white coating to determine the proper treatment. The Ludlow Pediatrics website advises that certain white-tongue conditions are most common in newborns.
It May Be Milk
Before making a determination on the identity of the white stuff coating a baby's tongue, check how frequently the coating appears. If the coating seems to come and go and usually shows up after feeding, it may simply be milk residue. Milk residue wipes off a baby's tongue easily using a soft dry or damp cloth. If the skin of the baby's tongue is pink and healthy-looking after the residue disappears, no further treatment is necessary.
It Might Be Thrush
If, however, white, blotchy spots appear on the inside of the baby's cheeks and roof of the mouth as well as the tongue, the baby may have thrush. The yeast infection Candida albicans often invades the mouths of newborns or babies less than 2 months old, states the Women's Healthcare Topics website. Passing through the birth canal, treating infections in infancy with certain antibiotics, or breastfeeding can cause a newborn to contract thrush. Thrush on a baby's tongue resembles curdled milk or cottage cheese. When wiped away, it may reveal raw, red or even bleeding areas. Babies with thrush often show persistent signs of discomfort during feeding or nursing.
Treatment of Thrush
Mild cases of oral thrush may spontaneously disappear on their own, while more stubborn cases require treatment with an anti-fungal agent, says Ludlow Pediatrics. Doctors usually prescribe Nystatin drops for baby or topical anti-fungal lotions to treat the yeast infection. Babies receive the drops several times a day using an eyedropper. On the bright side, oral thrush in infants is rarely serious and easily treatable. However, mother and baby may ping-pong the infection back and forth to each other through breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding and Thrush
Women's Healthcare Topics suggests breastfeeding mothers also use Nystatin cream at the same time babies with thrush receive treatment for Candida albicans. This lessens the chance of the breastfeeding mother and baby reinfecting one-another. Preventative steps against oral thrush include air-drying nipples between feedings and sterilizing any pacifiers or synthetic bottle nipples by boiling them in water for about 20 minutes. Sometimes, Candida albicans occurs after a breastfeeding mother takes a prescribed course of antibiotics, which can lower the threshold for developing yeast infections. If this is the case, the breastfeeding mother might consider supplementing breast milk with formula while she's on antibiotics.
Infant Oral Hygiene
The Intelligent Dental website suggests cleaning a baby's mouth and tongue thoroughly after feedings as a wise oral hygiene practice. Simply dip the edge of a clean washcloth or square of sterile gauze into a small bowl of warm water, open the baby's mouth and wipe away any milk residue. Use a gentle circular motion with the cloth on the baby's tongue. Intelligent Dental also recommends massaging the baby's gums and the inside of his cheeks during the cleansing process.

ezeep Dash Sends Print Servers into Retirement
ThinPrint delivers the simplicity of a management cloud portal with secure, local printing for on-site Macs and PCs – even without an Internet connection
ThinPrint, the print solution expert, today announced the launch of ezeep Dash, the company's new server-less print management solution. The new solution, being unveiled at this year's VMworld, fully migrates print management to the cloud, while printing itself still takes place locally. By eliminating the need to implement and manage on-site infrastructure, ezeep Dash delivers significant resource savings for companies of all sizes, including small and medium-sized businesses.
"ezeep Dash can be described as the Gmail or Salesforce of printing," said Thorsten Hesse, chief product officer at ThinPrint. "As Gmail makes the mail server unnecessary, and Salesforce makes the CRM Server obsolete, ezeep Dash means print servers are no longer required."
With ezeep Dash, administrators can use the cloud portal to effortlessly define printers and assign employees or groups. Everything else, including the installation of drivers, adjustments for changes to IP addresses and driver updates are all automatically taken care of by ezeep Dash and its agents on users' machines.
Users can take advantage of easy usability and availability that ezeep Dash provides. Each user can manage the printers assigned to them via the convenient Self Service Portal. And, while printer allocation takes place in the cloud, the entire printing process continues to be available locally on the user's device, even if the computer is offline.
ezeep Dash is of considerable interest to companies of all sizes looking to reduce their administrative workload as well as the number of help desk calls. This is especially true for small and medium-sized enterprises that are increasingly focused on the cloud and no longer have their own server structure. These organizations will find ezeep Dash to be the perfect solution for meeting their printing requirements.
ezeep Dash works with Windows machines and with Macs. Each user costs just $0.57/€0.57 per month.
ezeep Dash integrates seamlessly with the ezeep product family, and additional ezeep functionality, such as mobile printing, can be easily added.
ezeep Dash will be available in the fourth quarter of this year. Interested parties can learn more about ezeep Dash at ThinPrint's booth #1331 at VMworld in Las Vegas, or by visiting https://www.ezeep.com/dash

The overwhelming SNP victory in the General Election has seen the sitting Ross, Skye and Lochaber MP Charles Kennedy swept from office, with Ian Blackford winning over 20,000 votes to secure his seat in Westminster.
Following a national trend which saw the SNP win a total of 56 seats out of 59, Mr Kennedy placed second behind Mr Blackford with 36 per cent of the vote (14,995) compared to 20,119, or 48 per cent.
Mr Blackford sent out a message of thanks to all those who had supported him, adding: "I am delighted, privileged and honoured and I do not take for granted what it means.
"I wouldn't want to represent anywhere else and it is important to represent the people and work hard to campaign on local issues, of which there are so many, including connectivity – both transport and digital – and electricity prices.
"I will work hard to represent all the constituents. I am there to serve the interests of everyone."
Speaking after the results were announced in Dingwall, Mr Kennedy said: "The greatest privilege of my public life over these past 32 years has to be being entrusted with the responsibility of representing this constituency.
"That is thanks to a generation and more of voters who have extended that trust to me and I hope looking back over those 32 years they will feel that it was trust well placed."
Mr Kennedy added, darkly, that the election would become known as "the night of the long sgian-dubhs."
Lindsay McCallum, standing for the Conservatives, came third with 2,589 votes (six per cent); Chris Coniff, Labour, was fourth on five cent (2,043 votes); Anne Thomas for the Greens took 1,051 votes followed by UKIPs Philip Anderson (814) and Independent candidate Ronnie Campbell (191).
In the Western Isles, Angus Brendan McNeil retained his seat, winning 8,662 votes (54 per cent) while the Labour challenger Alasdair Morrison was on 4,560 votes (29 per cent).
Behind them, on eight per cent (1,215 votes) was Mark Brown of the Conservatives, Christian Party candidate John Cormack and the Lib Dem's Ruaraidh Ferguson.
In Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross it was another end of an era, as the SNP's Paul Monaghan won over 15,000 votes to knock the long-standing Lib Dem John Thurso into second place.
Overall the SNP recorded 50 per cent of the vote nationwide, taking key seats from Labour including those of leader Jim Murphy and Douglas Alexander, while Lib Dem Danny Alexander also lost out.
Indeed the only non-SNP MPs elected are the Lib Dem's Alistair Carmichael in Orkney and Shetland, Labour's Ian Murray in Edinburgh South and David Mundell for the Conservatives in Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale.

Why don't I use Dove products anymore? I used to be a big fan of Dove products, most especially the soap and lotion due to their fragrance. I was legit obsessed. My holy grail item was the Dove lotion, which was apparently "moisturising" and supposedly good for "dry skin." I always found that it never truly moisturised my skin as my skin still felt dry after using it. It was like after my skin absorbed the cream, my skin still somehow managed to be dry, which seemed mind-boggling for me. Yet still, stupidly I refused to divorce myself from this unhealthy and unfulfilling marriage to my beloved Dove cream.
|Copyright & Image Credit: @NayTheMua
In the ad (pictured above) we see a Black woman appear to turn White after using Dove soap. What is Dove trying to imply here?
Why don't I use Dove products anymore? I don't use Dove cream anymore, because I have very sensitive and delicate skin. My skin gets offended easily and I am allergic to their bullsh*t. I can't, don't and won't condone nonsense.
I'm sorry but do you really mean to tell me that all those execs, PR experts, and marketing team specialists sitting in their boardroom actually OK'd this ad and thought it was acceptable? And yes, I am aware that Dove has slogans like "Beauty for all" and has previously done inclusive beauty campaigns and commercials.
But no, this isn't the first time Dove has missed the mark and I can guarantee for as long as we continue to support (either through purchasing Unilever products or being passive
ly silent in these situations) it won't be the last. And yes, I can see they've apologised but sometimes an apology just isn't good enough. But no, I haven't missed the irony of the coincidental timing of this ad's release and the fact that it's #BlackHistoryMonth. Wake up and smell the coffee people.
|Credit: Makon
However, the fact that they could do something like this shows me they can't come to the cookout. This ad shows me that Dove and its parent brand Unilever don't think highly enough of my skin to consider my thoughts and feelings. I on the other hand, think and care way too highly of my skin to put a product on it that would cause it so much irritation. Therefore, there is no space on my beauty cosmetics table or in my bathroom for them as I have washed my hands off Dove and its parent company Unilever.

Small businesses have so much more to compete with in today's market, mainly because consumers put a lot of stock in a company's Search engines base results on your computers IP location, so whatever you are looking for will be tailored to the area you reside in. This can make it difficult for local small businesses to succeed if they don't have proper local marketing in place.
– 92% of consumers have used the Internet to search for local businesses in the last year (Forbes)
– 50% of consumers who conducted a local search on their mobile device ended up visiting the store after ( Google)
– 4 out of 5 consumers prefer ads tailored to their zip code
– 66% of consumers who searched for local information on a computer or tablet wound up visiting a store within five miles
When you search for your business name online, what appears? If you have a verified local Google business page, customer reviews appear under your listing. This is important for the simple fact that consumers have faith in reviews, so they are more likely to patronize a business that has a lot of good reviews.
Another important trend brought up in several studies is consumers searching on the go. People on the go tend to search for an address of a company before purchasing anything. With a verified Google local business page, consumers will be able to access the address of your business quickly.
Trusting AdMoreZing to set up your Verified Google local business page will result in visibility that you can't get from any other form of marketing. If your business is verified properly, search engines will direct consumers to your page, and this in turn will attract the audience you want.

VT2542 with Simon Home Security System Drops Incoming Calls

Post subject: VT2542 with Simon Home Security System Drops Incoming Calls
About a year ago, I moved into a new home that had a GE Simon Alarm System already installed. I already had
and I have no desire to sign up for a home land line because of bad experiences with Qwest. For home insurance, I was offered a significant discount if I signed up for a centrally monitored security system. So I called our local utility company that also offers security system monitoring to ask if they had some solution that supported those with
. They sent out a technician that actually connected my home telephone wiring to
adapter and it worked great, every test I did over the past year worked flawlessly.
However, recently I started experiencing some of the common problems that have been reported with my router/phone adapter(WRTP54G) such as router freezing, slow internet connection, packet loses, lost connection, and I had to reboot the device almost daily. However, as long as the internet connection was active, the phone still continued to work fine.
The network problems were annoying and I eventually got fed up and upgraded to the Motoroal VT2542, my network is working the way it should be and I now have a superfast connection. However, I am now having phone issues for incoming calls (outgoing calls work great 100% of the time). About 50% of the time when an incoming call is received, I'll get a quick ring or two and then nothing, the person making the call will either immediately be disconnected, or will hear some very loud static after a couple of rings.
I experimented and discovered if I disconnect the VT2542 from my home phone wiring the problem goes away. I've disconnected my phone from my home wiring so the only thing connected was the security system and the problem exists, so for some reason it isn't playing well with my security system. Since my phone works without my security system, one may assume that my security system is at fault, yet the fact that it worked great with the WRTP54G for about a year leads me to believe that it has something to do with the VT2542. I should also note the problems exist only for incoming calls and the security system. All tests made with the security system and outgoing calls work great.
I have called and e-mail
several times, they say they changed a couple of settings, we give it a try, it works 50% of the time, and when it does they say 'problem fixed' and hang up. But the problem inevitably returns. I have looked at the telephone NID and verified that all wires to the landlines have been disconnected, I have tried using a splitter to the phone adapter so one line goes directly to the phone, the other to the home wiring without any success.
Does anyone have any advice? I have searched long all over the 'net and can't find anyone with similar problems.

This is a total shot in the dark, but you could have a polarity issue. Phone systems are DC. Usually it doesn't matter which wire is positive and which is negative, but with security systems it sometimes does. If the technician got the polarity wrong, it might not have bothered the Linksys but does bother the Motorola.
Is there any way that you can check polarization? (A DC voltmeter would do nicely.) If not, do you have access to the wiring so that you can try switching it?

Post subject: Ademco Lynx Security System and WRTP54G line polarity
Thanks for suggesting a polarity check. Today I activated monitoring on an Ademco Lynx security system. My
call log showed two outgoing calls to the service center, but the tech didn't call back. I spotted your post and dug the polarity checker out of my toolbox. The polarity was reversed all through my house, through the distribution panel, through the RJ31X, all the way back to the line out ports on my WRTP54G TA!
I never thought to recheck line polarity when I switched to
When I called the monitoring center back, they confirmed the system check worked fine. FWIW I'm using an Ademco LYNXRPK-EN security system, a WRTP54G
adapter, and Ocusafe/Criticom monitoring through safemart.com . I had to switch my service to the Line 2 port after a lightning strike last year.

Post subject: How to do a polarity check?
I've been trying to figure out myself how to hook up the monitoring to my security system via my
connection as well. Back when I finally spliced the line for the security system and plugged it into the house wiring (after disconnecting my home from the phone company outside my house) my dial tone for normal voice calls via
would go away. If I unplugged the cable from my sec sys, then the dial tone would return. I stopped pursuing things at this point thinking it just wasn't going to work.
It sounds like polarity may be my issue as well. How do I verify either way as I'm not 100% how to go about checking?
If I find out my polarity is reversed, how do I correct it? Just flip the green/red wires? If memory serves me correct - when I look at my sec panel - there's a total of 4 wires connected from the house wiring...not sure if they are all being used as I think only 2 wires are for voice. Are the 2nd pair being used for anything?
Any help to get this straight would be huge as the wife is not letting the house not being monitored go quietly.... LOL
Secondly - to allow my security sys to ride over the
connection - is it necessary that I plug it directly into my phone adapter and pay for a 2nd line? Is it better to do it this way versus using the house wiring?
I have since stopped using my internal house wiring as for whatever reason...over the last year I couldn't get my dial tone to work....so I took my 5.4G phone base and plugged it directly into the phone adapter...not sure why my house wiring suddenly stopped working. No idea...needed the dial tone so stopped using that wiring. Could a fw upgrade have done it somehow?
Appreciate any insight from folks in this area...this would be a huge monkey off my back if I could get this workin properly!!

If you have a voltmeter, check the polarity on the red and green wires at one of the jacks. The green should be positive. If you don't have a voltmeter, then just try reversing it. Flip the red and green wires at the jack where you're plugging in the
box, assuming that's how you're doing it.

khan59, your alarm system should be connected directly to the
box, and your house phones should be connected to the alarm system (hence four wires to/from the alarm.) Double check the splice to the alarm system. There's a nice explanation of the splice you need to make at
Alarms are almost always wired up so the alarm can seize the phone line, using four wires to an 8 pin ethernet-looking RJ31X jack. The incoming land/Vonage line is connected to the two center pins of the jack, and the house phone(s) are connected to the two outside pins. When the alarm cable is not plugged in, the jack itself bridges the inside pins to the outside pins; when there's an alarm system plugged in, the alarm system bridges the pins unless/until it has to seize the line away from the house phones. To do that, the alarm system has to have a 4-wire cable leading to the RJ31X jack.
Go to Ace or Home Depot and pick up an inexpensive phone line tester. It should glow green when you plug it into your
adapter, when you plug it into the RJ31X jack, and when you plug it into a house phone jack with or without the alarm system plugged into the RJ31X. If it glows red, the polarity is reversed somewhere. If it doesn't glow, something's not connected.

Monogenism(redirected from Monogeny)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical.
the doctrine in anthropology which asserts that mankind has a single origin and that all the human races are related to one another by blood kinship.
According to monogenism, contemporary mankind has one species (Homo sapiens), and the human races are intraspecific subdivisions that formed as a result of modern man's settling in various areas of the world. Monogenism is confirmed by a multitude of anthropological facts and above all by the fact that all the human races yield fertile offspring when mixed.

Father, take this cup from me?
Week beginning: 27th January, 2019 | By Natalie Johnson | Leeds
'Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established… he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted…'
Romans 13:1–2 (NIV, 1984)
'Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, "Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God. For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."Acts 4:18-20 (NIV, 1984)
If you are anything like me, I suspect that you try to obey the law as much as possible, and dislike the idea of breaking it. But what about where the requirements of the laws of the land and the requirements of God's law are different, and you can't obey both? As the UK moves away from its Christian heritage, this may become a growing issue. Perhaps there are already issues arising in your practice area or context?
Acts 4 would suggest that we need to obey God's law. But what if we are not clear on exactly what God's law requires? Daniel objected to his diet under the Babylonian regime, but not his new name or education (Daniel 1). The newly converted Naaman promised never to make burnt offerings or sacrifices to any god other than the LORD, but sought forgiveness for when his master bowed in the temple of Rimmon causing him to bow too (2 Kings 5:17–18). Jesus paid the temple tax so as not to offend (Matthew 17:24–27), but Peter and John do not seem to have been so concerned about offending when declaring their primary allegiance to God (Acts 4:18–20). It may be that different approaches are required in different situations. May God give us the wisdom (James 1:5) to know what honouring him looks like in our context.
Further listening: Mike Ovey – Keeping a clear conscience as a lawyer: Workplace ethics: where should we draw the line?
Prayer Points:
1. For the wisdom to know what to do, and the courage to do it.
2. For those facing a cost for obeying God, wherever they are in the world.
3. For robust and clear biblical teaching to equip the church in this generation.

Every year, I spend months brainstorming a new kind of latke only to end up making classic potato latkes for Hanukkah. Made well, they are always a clear winner for me over potato alternatives like beet, parsnip, zucchini, sweet potato, etc.
Maybe it's my upcoming trip to Japan, but I've been thinking a lot about mochi recently (Japanese glutinous rice cakes) and a light bulb went off: savory, chewy, mochi latkes! The addition of mochi flour makes the latkes lighter in consistency, yet the chewiness it adds makes it incredibly satisfying, even addicting.
Continuing with the Japanese theme, I decided to top them with an Asian pear and persimmon relish instead of the classic apple sauce and sour cream. The topping is stewed in browned butter, making this the best latke I have ever made. It's a delicious blend of my Japanese and Jewish cultures and a metaphor for how blending two cultures can inspire an improvement to the original tradition—in this case: Latkes! After all, isn't this what "Jewish food" is anyway?
Mochi Latkes
20 small latkes
- 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
- 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and shredded
- 1/3 cup mochi flour
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- vegetable oil for frying
Asian Pear and Persimmon Relish
- 2 medium-sized Asian pears, peeled and chopped into 1/4" cubes
- 1 medium-sized fuyu persimmon, peeled and chopped into 1/4" cubes
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- Crème fraîche
- Flakey sea salt to finish
- Cinnamon
Relish Directions:
- In a small pot, brown the butter. It will take about 10 minutes, but you need to watch it the ENTIRE time. The butter will melt, then simmer, then brown bits will start to appear. After the bottom of the pot seems to have a fair amount of browned bits, remove it from the heat. Browned butter goes from browned to burned (blackened bits instead of browned bits) in an instant, so be very careful. It should have a nutty, toasty aroma.
- Place the fruit in the pot with the butter and put it back on low heat. Stir frequently for about 10 minutes. The fruit should cook slightly but still maintain a bite/crunch. Strain the butter and liquids from the fruit and let the relish cool completely.
Latke Directions:
- Since we're only grating two potatoes here, I like to just use a box grater (the side with the large holes) for both the potatoes and onion. If more than doubling this recipe, I would use a food processor.
- If you're serving the latkes today, turn on your oven's warming drawer or your oven to 250°F. I prefer to make mine in advance and freeze them.
- Place 1/3 of the grated potato in a cheese cloth or a clean, thin dish towel and squeeze very tightly to remove all liquid from the potatoes. Do this three times until liquid from all the potatoes is removed. Place potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add the grated onion with liquids. Now add in the mochi flour, eggs and salt. Stir well to combine. You'll want to work quickly here so the potatoes don't oxidize and discolor too much.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed pan (I use a large stainless steel pan) with vegetable oil to about a 1/2" depth over medium heat. Test to see if the oil is ready by putting a little grated potato into the pan. If it immediately bubbles, it's ready. It should take about 10 minutes for your oil to heat. Keep a careful eye on it while it's heating up because you don't want it to be too hot or your latkes will burn. Conversely, if you start cooking your latkes before the oil is hot enough, they will end up greasy on the inside and give you a stomach ache!
- Line a cookie sheet with a wire rack and a couple of layers of paper towels over it. Place it near your frying pan. This is where your latkes will cool.
- Add the latkes one at a time in the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd them. I cooked five at a time, max.
- The latkes are ready to eat when they are cool to the touch but still warm inside. Top with crème fraîche, then fruit relish, then a light sprinkling of cinnamon.
- If you are freezing your latkes, preheat your oven to 425°F an hour before you plan to serve them. Bake them for 10-15 minutes from frozen. If possible, bake them on a wire rack on top of a cookie sheet. This will help air circulate all around, ensuring they will be crispy on both sides. Cool on paper towels for about 5-10 minutes and garnish as indicated above. Happy Hanukkah!

Tweetbacks and More From Disqus
This is an infomercial for our portfolio company Disqus. And I am proud to say that because Disqus is hands down the best comment system on the web and its getting better every day.
Disqus has some great new features and they've rolled them out first on Mashable, a leading tech blog that now uses the Disqus comment system. The new features include:
1) tweetbacks – when the post is discussed on Twitter, those tweets will be brought back to the comment thread
2) diggbacks – when the post is discussed on Digg, those comments will be brought back to the comment thread
When combined with Disqus' existing support of FriendFeed comments, this provides the triple play of social media. The blogger gets to see all of the discussion in one place and so does the reader. This is a big deal to me and I bet to many other bloggers.
3) Retweet the comment. There is now a checkbox in the disqus comment field to retweet the comment you are leaving. This may be an even bigger deal because so many amazing comments are stuck behind the comment link. Now you, the commenter, can tell the world about your amazing comment and get the traffic to it you deserve.
Disqus partnered with a company called UberVU to deliver these features. Disqus posted about this news and so did Mashable. You can see the new features in action on that Mashable post. I hope they will be available here on this blog shortly.

Remember when I spoke about "Decade Style" here? One decade that I always have truly admired was the 70's- it had a sprinkling of everything from glitz and glamour in the Studio 54 era, to the casual and comfortable aesthetic of the hippie bohemian movement. 70's style continues to inspire and influence designers, artists, trends, and manages to make it's way into columns and articles monthly. With it's influence came tastemakers that forever imprinted the world with their cheeky spin on 70's style. While I will always have a soft spot for the glamour side of it all, the down-to-earth, girl-next-door vibe reigns supreme any day in my book. The style icons from that era that really inspired me were Jane Birkin and Joyce DeWitt. Jane needs no introduction, she been written and referred to ad nauseam- her playful neck ties, and penchant for high waisted flares made her an icon in her own right. Joyce, better known as Janet, was the girl-next-door on the sitcom Three's Company that aired in the late 70's. Janet was had a sexy tomboy aesthetic and a memorable hairdo that only she can continue to pull of. This western, eclectic outfit was inspired by those two and the 70's style that continues to influence us all today.
Big thanks to ASOS for sponsoring this post!

astrology, Full Moon, Full Moon in Sagittarius, Moon in Sagittarius, The Daily Word image, The Lunar Essence
Since there are no new aspects perfecting for the 18th, I thought it might be time to consider the upcoming Full Moon. For once I think we'll be served best to look at it early, with time to consider what kind of choices we might like to (or have to) make. But before we do, the word image for the 18th: A nuclear reactor shuts down on its own, to the surprise of the attending technicians. Considering we're in approach to the Full Moon, this may describe a situation where, before we reach FM circumstances, we will temporarily 'shut down' the issue or energy outflow, in an attempt to 'cool off' what will end up being the subject of FM tensions. Anything you feel overwhelmed by or find suddenly 'cut off' likely signals what will end up being hashed out at the Full Moon, and in the days after.
The Full Moon for May falls at 1 Sagittarius 13 at 2:14 PM PDT on the 21st, closely conjoined Mars in retrograde; the effect then is that the Full Moon perfects and in its aftermath Earth, Mars, and Moon draw ever-closer to one another, suggesting a period of a few days over which the Full Moon effects may unfurl, where we may learn something, or expand our horizons (both Sagittarius), and so fulfill the FM promise.
With generous orbs we also see the Full Moon opposes Venus and Vesta, and since anything opposing a Full Moon is automatically conjoined the Sun, this tells us that what occurs during and following the FM is most likely rooted in matters of relationship, either those involving home and mate, or those involving what we love and dedicate our life energy to, with potential for involvement of assets in the relationship/ dedication mix–and as everyone knows, there can be quite a clash over where one may put one's effort and attention, as a limited number of hours in a day forces choices: do we choose our causes or our relationships? Do we choose what pays with Love or Money? Even those of us who find a balance will continually be adjusting for the ebb and flow of energy and need. This FM and the period that directly follows may challenge us to decide what we're going to do (Mars) about that balance. Be prepared, as the voice of the ego (Mars) will be at least as strong in the equation, and maybe more so, as what we love and are dedicated to (Venus, Vesta).
We're stretching our orbs when we count Pallas as square the Full Moon, but as this creates a T-square with the oppositions, it pays to note what it's telling us: that what's smart and/ or practical may conflict with the way we're seeing and weighing options–we may be allowing the ego too much say. We can also count the FM as the midpoint of a close Zeus-Pluto square, which implies developments will deal with tensions surrounding change to the ambition and desire picture. And, minor aspects, semi-squares from Black Moon Lilith and Juno (which are conjoined in Scorpio) to the FM suggest what occurs is propelled more than a little by issues of anger, denial, or empowerment that have been hidden, and now come clear.
The Sabian Symbol for the Full Moon is, 'White-capped Waves Display The Power Of Wind Over Sea'. We have an interplay of elements here, emotion (Water) and intellect (Air), and perhaps need to keep in mind that neither should prevail; in the image we see their interaction, the way the intellect can buffet the emotions. It's a reconciliation we want, one that accommodates, as much as possible, both emotional and achievement-oriented needs.
For a Full Moon we also look to the Sabian for the Sun, in order to know something of the origins of the current Lunar situation: 'Santa Claus Furtively Filling Stockings Hanging In Front Of a Fireplace' This suggests that Full Moon events, no matter how they make us face things we'd rather not, or that we feel force choices that reveal a little more Self-interest than we're comfortable showing to others, actually deliver a gift, one that gives us a venue for energy expression (the fireplace) that is much truer to ourselves.

I just gave a quick demo of this powerful and amazing feature that is often overlooked in the SharePoint Business Intelligence visualizations – the presentation deck is on SlideShare. Note that Visio Services in SharePoint 2010 does not require the viewers to have Visio – the diagrams are rendered as images or Silverlight. These images can be connected to external data sources to provide live, rich visual context. You can also add interactivity into diagrams to enable drill-through and also pass parameters to other web parts. Here are a few samples of a simple heatmap, retail floor plan connected to POS data, hotel room availability, a strategy map, a business process diagram and a map. There are many other examples that overlay images and objects to get even more creative!

Groom to Win for the Horse-Showing Ring
Groom to Win for the Horse-Showing Ring
Want to prove you are a serious competitor? Then enter the ring with a serious shine. Not only does meticulous grooming demonstrate good horsemanship, but it also creates a lasting impression in the judge's mind. Set yourself apart from the crowd with these tips.
Manage That Mane
To shorten your horse's mane, do not cut it with scissors. The proper way to shorten is by pulling and thinning the mane by hand. Horses are not as sensitive about this as humans. However, if too many hairs are jerked out at once, the horse will become irritated.
Start pulling at the longest part of the mane. Work evenly along the entire mane. Take the longest hairs from the underside, pulling only a few hairs at a time. Make sure you pull the hairs out completely rather than just breaking them off. Broken hairs make manes thick and bushy with frizzy split ends.
How about what's under the mane? In AQHA's 15-page FREE report, Judging Halter Classes, you'll get an understanding of the ideal American Quarter Horse. You'll train your eye to acknowledge balance, structural correctness, breed and sex characteristics, muscling and more.
Clipping is an art, and the only way to be good at it is to practice. If you are a novice, don't start practicing the day before the show. If your horse has never been clipped, you'll have to work with him long before the show date to get him used to the clippers.
For the show ring, bridle path, ears, muzzle, jaw and fetlocks should be clipped clean, so they look smooth and neat. The best time to clip your horse is after a bath, once he is dry. Clipper blades must be sharp, clean and oiled. Dirty, dull or dry blades will not do the job. To help achieve the polished look you want, download AQHA's FREE Clipping Tips report.
Washing Up
Give your horse a bath a few days before the show to give natural oils enough time to regenerate a glossy sheen on the coat. Any stains or spots can be touched up on the day of the show.
Keep soapy parts wet. If allowed to dry, shampoo leaves a film that will dull the coat. Rinse your horse thoroughly with clean running water. Keep the water running until no more soap runs out with the rinse water. Be gentle when you wash your horse's face and head. Use just a little soap. Do not get water in your horse's ears or soap in his eyes.
Shampoo your horse's mane and tail like you shampoo your own hair. You can double up his tail and wash it right in the bucket of soapy water. Don't scrub too vigorously when you're working on the mane and tail; you can break off hairs.
A shining finish makes the biggest impression when it is combined with a conformationally correct horse. To learn what characteristics judges value, get AQHA's FREE report, Judging Halter Classes.
Use a good conditioner to make the mane and tail more manageable after shampooing. After your horse is rinsed, scrape his coat as dry as possible with a sweat scraper. Towel-dry your horse after you've removed as much water as possible with the scraper. Dry his heels to avoid drying and cracking. Then walk him until he's dry. Depending on the weather, you might want to use a cooler or blanket. Wool is always good because it keeps him warm while letting moisture escape.
Make a Shining Finish
While nothing can replace a healthy, natural shine, a good-quality hair polish gives your horse the added edge that attracts attention. Apply hair polish to your horse's mane and tail right after shampooing to keep the hair tangle-free and more manageable. Then, right before you go into the show ring, use it on your horse's entire coat for a first-place finishing touch.
Foot Notes
Hoof cleaning and moisturizing are great for day-to-day grooming, but feet have to look extra neat for the show ring. Use hoof polish to give hooves a sharp-looking shine. Make sure to remove it completely after the show and apply moisturizing hoof dressing immediately to the clean hooves to keep them in good condition.
