Apple's New iPad, Extortionists Threaten iCloud - TMO Daily Observations 2017-03-22
Apple introduced a new iPad and updated the iPhone SE yesterday, and today is dealing with hackers threatening to trash millions of iCloud accounts. Dave Hamilton joins Jeff Gamet to look at Apple's latest gear and lament the slow demise of the iPad mini, and to talk about how trying to extort money out of the company is a pretty bad idea.
Why the iPad mini is On Its Deathbed
A long time ago in this galaxy, Steve Jobs thought the 7-inch class iPad would be a bad idea. There wouldn't be enough room to create great apps, he said. The rest of the tablet market jumped in anyway, and Apple just had to follow. Think education. But Mr. Jobs was right. The 7.9-inch experience wasn't that great for anything but iOS. Phablets arrived. And so, John ponders the demise of Apple's iPad mini.
Apple Drops Prices, Bumps Storage on iPad Line

|Three Commandments
|Written by Administrator
|Sunday, 14 December 2008 19:55
To produce a tasty foodWe are on our toes to produce a lot of variety of products with different shapes, textures, tastes, flavors, fillings and toppings that would satisfy a customer like you. We are also prepared to produce many new products when you want them. Just tell us about a new product you want and we will try our best to do it for you.
To produce a safe foodWe have instituted suitable systems for food safety and product quality assurance, based on current international best practices. This is a continuously evolving system. The core elements are enlightened management, concepts, systems and procedures, highly trained and motivated people and implementation. The focus is on assuring customer delight. Food Safety system: A good food safety system consists among others, Good manufacturing Practices (GMP), Good Hygene practices (GHP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). The objective of these systems are to produce at all times a safe food for the customers. Food safety is assured by the selection of suitable processing methods, machines, layouts and plant sanitation. Process flow charts are prepared, process and procedures are evolved, tested and implemented. Critical control points leading to food safety and food quality are identified, monitored and corrected. Employees are trained and educated on best hygiene practices and food safety systems. It is also realized that the raw material suppliers are our partners in our quality movement and they are carefully selected and due to continued dialogue with them, supply of safe inputs are assured. We are responsible for the food safety up to the point of consumption of the product by the customer. The valuable suggestion and inputs from customers are a great help in continuous improvement of our food products. Proper advice is given to the customer for maintaining with reasonable care, after sales food safety and quality of the food product which he buys.
To produce a healthy foodThe energy and nutrient needs of the people vary widely depending on their age, physical activity etc. This is assured by the proper combination of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, food fibers, vitamins and other micro nutrients suited for each age group. It has been acknowledged that much more than the calorie and protein difficiency, most of the Indians are undernourished and lack certain vitamins, minerals and micro nutrients. In tune with the current international practice and as advised by nutritionists and leading authorities, we have instituted a program of progressive enrichment of the entire range of food products. All ready we have been using additional wheat proteins, whey proteins, soy and milk minerals in many of our food products. Now we have started adding certain essential vitamins and minerals to further enrich our range of our products. Lately even addition of food fibers has been found to be essential for human nutrition. We make many products with added food fibers. If a group of customers have any special dietiary needs such as low calorie, high fiber, low fat, no added salt, no added sugar or any other similar unusual needs, we will be able to develop suitable products for them. Your family's health is our care.
Hidden commandmentActually there is a hidden fourth commandment, that is to produce a quality food. Customers almost never notice quality but always notice lack of quality. Hence quality is often a hidden element. Customers like you set the standards for quality by buying or rejecting a product and help improve quality standards of a product by constructive comments and suggestions. From the customers perspective, quality is the combination of the above three commandment; that is tasty food, safe food and healthy food. Quality is often described as consistency. This is assured by putting in place total systems similar to food safety. Here the emphasis is on producing a consistent product through a quality assurance system made effective through the participation of the customers, management, employees and the vendors. Please do tell us how we can further improve our products and service to you. You are our best quality partner.

Staying Healthy Through Yoga Meditation♫ Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
Yoga is one of the many low impact exercises which is designed to help strengthen both the mind and the body. While some think that it is just sitting down in a lotus position, there is more to it than that which is probably why this has been practiced for more than 5000 years. Yoga meditation allows the person to relax. After closing one's eyes, the individual can listen to the silence and escape to that special place. For a few minutes, it allows the participant to forget about the problems in life and then wake up feeling rested.
The exercise itself takes discipline and practice especially if there are distractions around when there are a lot of people in the room. The individual should pretend no one else is there to be to take advantage of what this exercise has to offer. Yoga has evolved through the years and there are many forms to choose from. A beginner can enroll in a gym to learn the basic moves from an instructor and then continue to do this with a group or at home.
The key to yoga meditation is breathing. Everyone does it differently but once the person is able to get in tune with it, the rest will become easy. The best way to achieve this is by drawing the spine to a straight position and keeping it there the whole time. Those who are not used to maintaining a lotus position on the floor can still practice this by sitting on a straight back chair. This should be done until the individual is ready to participate by doing it on the floor.
Another technique to practice yoga meditation will be to lie down on the mat and put the legs on top of the chair. The spine should be flat the whole time so the person's breathing will not be disrupted. The person does not have to say anything throughout the yoga meditation. The instructor will take care of everything by playing a CD of relaxing music playing or the sound of water flowing down coming from the speakers.
The only thing the individual should focus on is the air being inhaled and exhaled,see our Free Yoga meditation videos. This should not be forced but rather letting it just flow freely in and out while being stationary in that position. As the person gets up and does the other positions, the participant should not forget to concentrate on the breathing. This is because yoga meditation does not only give the individual inner peace but also a positive personality development.

Rihanna & Her Braids Rock I-D Magazine + Alexis Fields & Brandy Catch Up Over Comedy
Rihanna is i-D magazine's cover girl once again. Check out her interesting cover shot inside, plus her oversized denim coat fashion statement....
RiRi and her braids are the cover stars of the new Music Issue of i-D magazine. And it's stirring up talk all over the interwebs. That's what RIRi does best.
i-D's Fashion Director Alastair McKimm talks about the Paris shoot with Rihanna:
"She really is one of the most creative, talented and inspiring women I've ever had the pleasure of working with. The energy and enthusiasm she brings is intense. She's the ultimate icon of our time."
The issue will be out in the UK February 5th and February 9th worldwide.
Meanwhile, Rih hit up her fave eatery Giorgio Baldi for the second night in a row yesterday, wearing that oversized denim statement jacket aso for a second night in a row:
Well, chick knows how to make anything work.
Elsewhere in L.A. last night:
Remember Alexis Fields? Kim Fields' real life little sister and everybody's bestie on TV? Well, she's a mom who's doing her own thing now. And she's looking fabulous.
Brandy caught up with her actress friend at All Def Digital comedy jam. Looking cute ladies!

I love my job. Period. I dig in and really get involved. Unfortunately, I also lose track of time. And with amount of work I need to do on a daily basis, this is not a good thing. It fouls up the flow of not only myself but all the other people in my department that count on me. Something needed to change (mostly me).
So, I resolved to find a solution. And what a simply elegant solution it is too: an eggtimer for my iGoogle.
Without going into the various merits of the plethora of personal homepages (i.e. mashup) available, let's just go with iGoogle for the moment. If you don't have a personal homepage, feel free to check out iGoogle. If you already have a gmail account, try logging on with that to see if you already have access to it. You can then go under Tools>Options>Main and set it as your homepage (FireFox).
iGoogle has a variety of gadgets that can be added to the homepage. The one that has worked so well for me is called Timer by Poturi.
You input the amount of time you want to use and it counts down for you. When it gets to zero, not only will it flip back to your home page from whatever webpage you were on, the browser will flash, a small pop up will appear, and it plays a sweet little "tingaling".
Let's just say that it gets your attention.
Why not use an real honest to goodness egg timer? Mostly because I don't have one. And since I'm on the computer quite a bit, this works really well for me. I stop what I'm doing and move onto the next item on my ever growing "To Do" list (for which I use "Remember the Milk" but that's another Tip!).
Do you have any WAHM tips you'd like to share? I'd love to hear from you!

SWANSEA — The Joseph Case High School indoor track team is small, in terms of numbers, so the Cardinals do not have an easy time going up against other schools in team competition. But Case has some good athletes and promising young runners who are performing well individually and they keep trying to achieve personal bests at the meets this season.
"While we're taking a few knocks on the chin this year, over the next few years, we should get better," first year coach Tim Irish said.
Counting both boys and girls, Case has about 30 student/athletes on the indoor track team. The Cardinals have had several athletes reach the qualifying standards for the South Coast Conference Championships.
For the girls' team, Amelia Bissaro and Danielle Robillard have qualified for the conference meet in the high jump. Bissaro has cleared the bar at four feet and two inches. She also has run the 55 meter hurdles race in 11 seconds and sometimes competes with the four by 400 meters relay team. Kaisey Fleet's best time in the 55-meter dash is 8.4 seconds and she has also run the 300- meters race in 51.2 seconds. Aly Kern has a time of 7.9 seconds in the 55-meter dash and a time of 47.5 seconds in the 300-meter race. Kendra Lane is only four seconds away from qualifying for the SCC meet in the 1,000 meters race.
"I really would like to see everyone improve for themselves and also see us improve as a team," Bissaro said. "We want people to learn about determination and perseverance through track." Manny Alves is coaching the sprinters for the track team.
"He's brought our times down a lot since the first meet," Fleet said.
For the boys' team, Carnell Jones has run a sub 45 second time in the 300-meters race. Christian Barbosa has also qualified in the conference meet in that race.
Kevin Toland has made the qualifying time in the 600-meters race. Irish said Toland always scores points for the team in meets, usually coming in first or second place in his races. Nick Silva has competed in the mile run. Corey Storm is only 10 seconds off of qualifying for the conference meet in the 1,000-meters race.
Bissaro said all of the athletes on the team are dedicated and make an effort to cheer each other on "It's fun," Bissaro said of competing for the track team. "It's hard in the winter because we're struck inside. It's hard to leave your house and go to the meets at night, but it's been a good season."

These days I'm more race director than triathlete and spend a weird amount of time sifting through your results and how you, as a group, move about the course. This study of spreadsheets helps us configure things like wave starts, turnarounds, and when to have the pancakes ready. But while looking at the data for those elements, you notice other things. And here recently I noticed how specific athletes jump around in the standings based on your times in each of the 5(!) legs of the race.
Here's today's excel sample: The Men of the 2017 Lake Meridian Sprint Triathlon. The chart below shows the Top 10 men and the top 5 finishers highlighted in different colors. It shows them at every critical point of the race: Swim exit, T1 exit, T2 exit, and finish.
Wondering if it's any different in the women's field? So was I. It seems the women have a bit less sporadic path to the podium (at least on this day) Here you go:
Of course the shorter the distance, the more important transitions are. If that's the case, the overall Olympic results shouldn't be affected as much by transition times - which does turn out to be the case and you can see that on the LMT Results from last year Here.
Wondering who had the fastest combined Transition times? Me too! Andrew Richards who ended up 2nd overall had the fastest with a combined time of 1:33. HOWEVER, 46-year old Clare Osborn beat up on all but the top 3 male finishers with a combined time of 2:04. Clare - you are the hero of this blogpost.
There are a lot of cool things you get to be a part of when you help put races together - and we're looking forward to sharing those with you on Mondays this season in a "Race Director University" series. Where lessons are taught NOT in a clinic, I assure you, but by making changes (and mistakes), and looking closer, and trying hard to give you the best experience on race day. We welcome your feedback and suggestions!
Thanks for racing at the RTB events - we are in full swing getting ready for you and we know you are doing the same. Wishing you Happy & Injury-Free Training!

Both my grandmothers were born and raised in Texas. And both of them grew amazingly beautiful flowers. There wasn't anywhere they couldn't grow something. They grew herbs in pots, rusted cans, broken coffee cups and old shoes. They planted abundant beds of lupines, bells of Ireland, coleus, daisies, roses, irises, asters, purple cone flowers, and dozens of other things I don't know the names of. They cultivated under shade trees, in bright sun, against the house, next to the road, in and around rocks. They coaxed lovely, voluptuously full, green growth up trellises and wire fences, down narrow breezeways, out of the hard – packed dirt or sandy soil – name a spot, it probably had something blooming in it.
Either one of them could take a limp, unidentifiable, half-dead twig, break it into three pieces, and in a month's time have a rose, a lily, and a fig tree reaching for the sky.
You would think one of them would have shared that particular magic with me before kicking the proverbial flower pot.
But, no.
My pattern is to ask four different people working in a nursery really important questions, like: what will grow in this part of Texas? Sun or shade? How often do I need to water? How long will this plant last before I kill it?
And it's not like the weather cooperates. If I water, it will rain for three days. I'm the one to blame for spring flooding this year. If I hold off watering because the forecast predicts major downpours, the day will turn blazing hot, glaringly bright, and by late afternoon my plants will be crawling out of the ground in an attempt to reach any available shade. And yet, I dare not water in the evening or they may get a fungus or leaf spot, or some kind of flesh eating bacteria.
Having said this, I must confess that my perennial torture chamber continues outside my back door. I have lambs ear that wilts in the sun and drowns in the rain. There is a Lantana with big blooms and no leaves on spindly stalks, spider plants that alternately bloom one day and turn brown the next, a two foot tall aloe that left a two inch baby behind before sinking into itself and forming something that looks like a 2,000 year old mummy, and a gardenia that's racing all of them to the compost bin. Some last longer than others, but I swear I can hear all of them gasping.
I should quit killing things; I know! But my head is full of pictures of Texas desert oases created by these amazingly gifted, tight-lipped, old women who are separated from me by only two generations and a few dozen years. Where are my green genes? What incantations did they whisper before retiring at 7:30 each night? And what concoction might they have been putting on their plants at 4:30 in the morning before everybody woke up?
Maybe if I dig up my grandmothers, fly to New Orleans and bring back a Voodoo priestess, she can do something to get the truth out of them. Okay, I know it sounds crazy. It's a long shot, but I have to do something! Even the weeds are starting to lean away from me as I walk through the back yard.

Finally it has arrived! The 1700 square foot, two level shopping mecca took me on a European
vacation this morning without a trip to the airport!
At 8am we were treated to a VIP media tour to give you guys the low down
on the range and the Burnside store. We were greeted by gorgeous well dressed Spanish men bestowing gifts! A great leather Zara tote became my gift and my shopping bag as I was overwhelmed with the choice and quality on offer. With a good look around, a few trips to the fitting room and a touch and feel of fabrics and textures, I must say I was impressed. The thing that surprised me most was the price point in relation to the quality. Great fabrics, classic pieces, looks for all tastes
......and did I mention that Adelaide gets the 2012 summer range before Europe?
Zara Woman Great classic timeless pieces with splashes of key trends. The pieces are also merchandised in looks to save you time trying to work out what shoes and handbags go with what.
Zara Woman Collection Exclusive designs and pieces only available in 1500 select stores around the world, Adelaide being one of them ... Yay!
Zara TRF (Upstairs) Aimed at a fashion forward youth, a little younger with key seasonal pieces
Zara Basics Tees & tanks, great quality from as little as $14.95
Zara Man - Gorgeous clean and well made. Modern and
classic options. I am loving the suits and slim fit shirts.
The linen pieces and super fine Italian shirting are to die for too.
Zara Kids Cute fashion forward "mini me's" - great shoes - denim and accessories for kids.
So how does the Women's SIZING measure up?
S = size 6
M = size 8-10
L = size 12-14
XL = size 14 -16

Lakepoint One connects generations of families
When Jim Grant and his wife decided to retire, the last thing they wanted was to end up in a retirement community where everyone was in the same age group. At the same time, they were looking to become a bigger part of their grandchildren's lives.
When they discovered that Westhills Land Corp. was developing a "multi-generational community " on about 500 acres in Langford, about 30 minutes drive northwest of Victoria, they thought they had hit the jackpot. So they decided to create their very own family enclave.
"There are three generations of our family in this subdivision," Grant said. "My daughter and her partner are across the street and she is expecting, and my son and his wife, with our grandchild, (are) around the corner."
"We're just overjoyed with the grandchildren coming along. We don't have to drive anywhere," he said, adding he "can have an extra glass of wine" and not get into trouble.
"We're looking to getting involved looking after the grandchildren," said Grant, who moved from Toronto 18 months ago after selling his electronics manufacturing business there. "We have the time to give our kids, who have their own professional careers, a break. It also gives us an opportunity to have more exposure to our grandchildren. I see so many people with grandchildren that for geographical reasons, they can only visit once or twice a year."
Developing such mixed neighbourhoods, where retired people can live alongside young growing families, was exactly what Westhills had in mind when it began building its master-planned development in 2007, says Westhills' real estate sales and marketing manager Dale Sproule. Plans call for a build-out of up to 5,000 homes.
The developer has already built a mix of housing types, including some 500 single-family houses and townhomes and condos, which Sproule says sell as quickly as they are built.
And now, Westhills is adding 46 apartment homes in a six-storey building overlooking Langford Lake.
If the market co-operates, he said, they could be followed by a 15-storey residential tower, which would be the tallest structure in the region outside of Victoria.
That may happen sooner than later, if Canada's last census is any indicator. It found that this community of 30,000 is the fastest growing in B.C. and fifth fastest in Western Canada.
"We are expecting a mix of buyers from people in their late 20s to young families and lots of people who want to stay out here to downsize and retire," Sproule said.
The condominium building of concrete, metal and wood-frame construction will feature two floors of commercial office space — including Westhills' own corporate office — with four floors of apartments overhead, ranging from studios to two-bedroom homes. On top of those will be a rooftop landscaped terrace, with a barbecue kitchen, lounging and seating areas — and a view of Langford Lake. The apartments are designed with open-concept interior floor plans with oversized low-E double-glazed windows overlooking the lake and nearby mountains. Floors are finished in wide-plank laminate in the living areas.
Kitchens come equipped with solid quartz countertops, soft-close cabinet drawers in either contemporary high-gloss or natural grained two-toned finish, and a full-height ceramic backsplash. The kitchen appliances, rated Energy Star, are stainless steel with an electric ceramic range, counter-depth refrigerator, over-the-range microwave, and dishwasher. Homes also have stacking washers and dryers, and some units have built-in pantries or high-profile storage cabinets.
Bathrooms feature ceramic floors, walk-in frameless showers, undermount sinks in quartz counters, and soaker tubs in some plans.
With Langford Lake just steps away, it's not surprising that Lakepoint One provides homeowners with facilities to store kayaks and paddleboards, plus a bike rack for each unit in a secure section of the building's underground parking. Also included are an electric car charging facility and a pet-washing station.
Across the street is a new YMCA-YWCA building built by Westhills and jointly operated by the Y and the city of Langford. Sproule noted that having the Y next door, with a wave pool and fitness facilities, negates the need for Lakepoint to duplicate such amenities.
Other amenities, such as shopping, are also within easy walking distance, including 80 boutique-style stores, restaurants, coffee shops, banks and other services.

|Love my Red Sparkle Skirt
|Last year's Teal Sparkle Skirt
We got together last weekend, had a fun sleepover with wine and subs and decorated our shirts! Nothing fancy, it's just a fun tradition!
We got to the race about an hour early. My honey volunteered to be our photographer. Bless his heart, he froze! It was cold and rainy!
The race started about 10 minutes late, which was annoying! We finally got started, there were 2000 people, so it was a very slow start.
It rained the whole time, but once I started running I warmed up quickly.
My stepson ran with us too. I love that he loves running races with me!
|This is what happens when I run while taking a picture. Blurry! Our beautiful State Capitol.
My time was 32 minutes. I was a little slower than usual because of the rain and being dark. But we did it!!
We had a fun time! After the race we went to Panera Bread for some delicious cheesy broccoli soup, which warmed us all up!
Yesterday morning was my 12 mile long run. My last one before my Half next Saturday! I was planning on running outside, but stepped out in the 43 degree weather, and decided to just run on my treadmill. I posted on my facebook about how I was a chicken when it comes to running in the cold! But my sweet friends encouraged me to just bundle up and run outside anyway! I mean, who wants to do 12 miles on a treadmill?!
I realized I just need to push myself, step out of my comfort zone, and just do it! So, I did! And I'm SO glad I did! It was wonderful, and again, once I started running, I warmed right up! This whole weight loss/running journey has shown me I can do so much more than my brain thinks I can!

Eek! I have several photos to share and yet I have been so lazy about making a post.
My punishment? Doing one big post as concise as possible. gah!
Well, let's do it in months:
October – the household and a couple of friends went to Mack's in New Hampshire for apple picking and squash overdosing. Personally I purchased four squashes: a delicata, two sweet dumplings, and a sunshine (which I later learned is a variety of kobocha, aka Japanese pumpkin).
I liked the delicata fine, but it wasn't anything special. I adored the sweet dumpling, but maybe that is because I stuffed it with spiced apples. The sunshine was definitely a favorite, but I was sad that I had stuffed it with apples too. The sunshine squash had a flavor a lot more like chestnuts than like your normal squashes.
November – I started to make a lot of batches of what I like to call "pancake muffins." They are exactly like what they sound like. Pancake batter cooked in an oven instead of on the stove top. So much faster and cleaner! And in easy to grab serving sizes too.
I have been using the Bisquick Healthy mix (because I am too lazy to even mix together basic pancake batter) with yogurt as my liquid to simulate a yogurt pancake batter. I've tried blueberry yogurt (the house favorite), strawberry (also pretty good), apple with cinnamon (very disappointing flavor-wise), and mixed berry. Last night, I made a batch with raspberry yogurt. Basically, the more flavorful yogurts work best for this. Once the batter was mixed, I plopped it into a muffin tin at 375F for about 15 minutes.
They taste best straight out of the oven, but keep well in the freezer. The only downside to storing in the freezer is that they seem a little drier after you reheat them.
Seriously though, pancake muffins have become my latest addiction. They also seem to keep me full longer than my favorite healthy cereals.
December – the new obsession? Challah bread. I made my first loaf last weekend and I'm making my second loaf as we speak. I nearly freaked out when I was in the middle of making my first loaf. In a moment of ditziness, I used water from my Brita filter… the same Brita that I keep in the fridge for cold water. Three hours later, the dough had barely budged.
I was worried that I had ruined it. Luckily, I've had some introduction to slow fermentation using colder temperatures, I didn't think all was lost. So I decided to warm up the dough in a slightly warmed oven. Once all of the chill was gone, I left my bread bucket with my dough on my kitchen counter. Three hours later, it had doubled beautifully. I went about braiding it (also my first time) and let it do it's final rise (and skipped the second rise completely because it was getting rather late).
My propensity for laziness reared its ugly head again, and I used a milk wash instead of a proper egg wash. When everything was said and done, the challah tasted wonderful but it just wasn't shiny. I have nothing to compare it to, but I was pretty satisfied with my first challah attempt. (The recipe I used was from Beth Hensperger's "Bread Made Easy" book, if you're curious.)
With the slow fermentation accident, I wondered how it would turn out if I did a proper slow fermentation challah bread. On top of that, I had been watching bread videos featuring no-knead techniques which is basically a slow fermentation (http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/).
Couldn't the two be put together? I thought I was onto something interesting.
I realized today that I wasn't all that original. Googling "no kead challah recipes" spit out more responses than I had expected. Eventually, I came across a post on Steamy Kitchen (http://steamykitchen.com/blog/2008/01/13/challah/) that seemed to have exactly what my head was thinking of experimenting with. I thought about re-using Beth Hensperger's recipe, but decided to go with what was on the Steamy Kitchen blog. Overall, the measurements weren't too different. My only substitution was to use oil instead of butter.
So now, I have a dough just hanging out in my fridge, waiting for tomorrow when I will actually shape and bake it.
In the meantime, here are photos of the challah loaf I made last weekend. It only lasted a few days before I had eaten it all. (Photos of challah loaf no. 2 later.)

With A/B testing software, you can show one group of website visitors one version of a page, show another group another version and see which version gets you more clicks or phone calls—easy, quick, and cheap or free. Impressive!
Except, as a small local business with a low number of site visitors, it may be tough to get meaningful results. Hmmm.
Here's the deal on A/B testing (AKA split testing, website optimization or conversion rate optimization) for small business websites:
What you can test
Typically, you'll take your home page or a landing page, alter one element such as the headline or main image or the button language on a form, and test that against the original. Or you might change the placement of an element on the page. Or try out different prices on a special offer. You can also do multivariate testing, changing multiple elements in different combinations.
Small-business friendly A/B test software
Check out Unbounce, Optimizely and Visual Website Optimizer. Free trials are available and starter fees are $17 to $49 monthly. The software allows you to create test pages by rearranging or over-writing existing pages on the fly, without involving IT help. Google Content Experiments is free and promises you faster test results (see more below) but you create test pages by adding new pages to your site, so IT help is needed.
OK, so how many site visitors do I need for a test?
This is actually easier to understand by playing with an online sample size calculator like this one from Optimizely.
A/B testing seeks to predict what all site visitors will do based on a sample of site visitors. The sample needs to be large enough so that the result isn't skewed by random chance. You choose how precise you want the test to be.
The sample size depends on how you set the dials on:
- Conversion rate and minimum detectable change on the rate. Say you're testing a new button design. The old button gets a 20% click rate (conversion rate). You set the test to detect a change of plus or minus 5% in the new button design–that's 5% of 20% or +/-1%. If the new button has a conversion rate lower than 19% or higher than 21%, it will be detected but between those numbers, not detected.
- Statistical significance is the likelihood that your results are showing a FALSE difference between the original and the test, in other words, a chance result. The standard is 95%, meaning 5% or less likelihood that the result is chance.
- Statistical power is the likelihood that your results are picking up a TRUE difference. The standard is 80%; in other words, the test will show a true difference 80% of the time and miss a true difference 20% of the time.
Use the Optimizely calculator to see how changing these elements changes the sample size needed to view the test page. For instance, with 95% statistical significance, 80% statistical power:
- 20% conversion, 5% change = 19, 907 sample size
- 20% conversion, 10% change = 5,006 sample size
- 10% conversion, 5% change = 44,846 sample size
- 10% conversion, 10% change = 11,293 sample size
The other element is time: How long will it take your site to reach the required number of visitors and is running an experiment in that time frame timely enough to help your business?
(Google Content Experiments offers a different approach that quickly starts directing more site visitors to the variation that appears to be winning to complete the test faster and with smaller samples. There's some controversy in the testing field over whether that produces unreliable tests for small samples.)
How to get started
Before testing, put serious effort into choosing the right site change to test:
- Understand site visitor behavior by studying your Google Analytics or other site metrics data.
- Focus on something with bottom-line impact.
- Go for bold changes that visitors won't miss.
- Test out your ideas first by showing designs to customers.
The bottom line
Never having dropped $252,000 on testing, I'll defer to the sadder-but-wiser advice in "What Spending $252,000 on Conversion Rate Optimization Taught Me" by marketing software entrepreneur Neil Patel. He's talking about using consultants, not DIY software, but the lessons apply:
- "You tend to get only a few wins each year that drastically affect your revenue." Give it a year before your test program is cash-flow positive.
- Your goal is not to get more buttons clicked on your site but to increase your total number of sales. Focus on revenue.
- "Just because a test says it increases your revenue by 30%, it doesn't mean it will maintain that increase in the long run." So you need to keep testing. "It's a never ending game."

You have, no doubt, read numerous anti-getting older tips over the years. The following article contains some innovative hints and tips, as well as some that are tried and true, to help you defy the effects of aging and retain your youthful appearance and vitality for many years to come.
Have you considered the benefits of injection therapy? This is a great way to reduce the effects of wrinkles. Injection therapy helps by relaxing muscles in the face, thereby decreasing wrinkles. Many people consider injection therapy to be a safer alternative to surgery for wrinkle correction. Several treatments may be required in order to see effective results.
Gray Hair
While you may be at peace with your gray hair, you may want to consider new makeup application techniques and shades. The gray hair may make your complexion seem a bit paler and washed out, so alter your makeup accordingly. Warm up your skin shade by applying blush and a slightly darker makeup base than you would typically choose. Highlight your lips with peach and rose shades of lip gloss. Add definition to your eyebrows with a brow pencil, and use a yellow-based concealer under eye shadow. Gray hair can be very striking when paired with complementary makeup.
Consider life a journey of exploration and enjoyment. Try to set goals for yourself so that when you achieve them, you will feel prideful and happy.
Eating a healthy diet is probably the most influential aspect of growing older well. Strive for a balanced diet that includes fruits, veggies, lean protein, whole grains and a minimum of healthy fats. Processed foods do nothing good for your health and they may make you look older.
Eating a balanced diet is the most important thing that you can do to age well. Your diet should be low in cholesterol and saturated fats, and high in whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Eating this way ensures that your body is getting the nutrients it needs.
Getting enough sleep every night is one of the most important anti-growing older steps you can take. Seven to nine hours is the amount you want to shoot for. Lack of sleep can put people at risk for diseases, such as heart-related conditions and depression.
Medical Records
Keep all medical records. When you have a copy of your medical records, changing doctors or seeing specialists will be simple.
Make an effort to increase the amount of anti-oxidants that you consume daily. Specialists recommend this because the unfortunate appearance of disease-causing free radicals will greatly diminish. Fruits and veggies that are darker in color are the richest in antioxidants. Some examples of such foods are blueberries, spinach, and squash.
Make sure to save up enough cash so you can retire, as well as some in case you run into health problems. For your golden years to be secure, however, you need to be sure you can handle the financial strain that getting older can bring.
Improving your diet can combat the effects of aging. Eat a wide array of veggies, dairy, meat, and natural sugars to get what you need. Have three or four smaller meals every day, and avoid excessive snacking.
Be sure to keep learning new things and this will keep your mind working. Old age does not prevent you from learning new things. Anything that stimulates the brain, such as a computer course or even a crossword puzzle, will keep your mind active, and you feeling on top of your game.
It is our hope that you will use what you have learned here to help yourself as well as those you love. If you are always learning new things then you will keep your mind young which will give you a higher quality of life and help you to live longer,

One of the games' stories included the comeback of defender Jan-Ingwer Callsen-Bracker.The atmosphere was electric in the 88th minute, and the sight of Jan-Ingwer Callsen-Bracker warming up on the sidelines was a contributing factor. Even when stadium announcer Rolf Störmann called his name when announcing the line-ups, there was a special feel in the air. Following the fourth goal, things only got more exciting: the 'role-model professional' received a standing ovation for his return to the pitch after being injured for around a year and a half.

The Elon University community is mourning the loss of a former employee killed Friday in an attack at a restaurant in Afghanistan.
Alexis �Lexie� Kamerman, 27, was determined, fun-loving and dedicated helping others, those who knew her said this weekend. She was among the 21 lives taken when a suicide bomber and gunmen attacked a Kabul, Afghanistan, restaurant Friday.
Kamerman had been in the country less than a year, working as a student development specialist for the American University of Afghanistan, according to a release by the Collegiate Water Polo Association, where she was a former director of membership.
At Elon University, Kamerman served as an assistant director of residence life for the 2012-13 academic year. She left Elon to pursue knowledge and make a difference for Afghan women.
�She saw the world as a place to explore and be a part of,� said Smith Jackson, Elon�s vice president for student life. �I had dinner with her at the end of the (academic) year � She had a real gleam in her eye about this opportunity she�d found out about. It was something she saw she could make a difference in. She said, �I�m going for it.� She was a kind of go-for-it person and that�s what she did.�
The university will host a gathering of friends for remembrance of Kamerman at 6:30 p.m. Monday in the Numen Lumen Pavilion.
The Collegiate Water Polo Association listed her personal, academic and athletic accomplishments in its release and also included an emailed statement from her family.
�She was an amazing young woman � smart, strong, beautiful, funny, stubborn and kind. And fearless. She took the job at the American University of Afghanistan to help the young women of Afghanistan get an education and take their rightful place as leaders in Afghan society. As you could probably guess, her death is a shock to us all and we can�t imagine a moment going forward when she won�t be desperately missed,� Kamerman�s aunt Julie Pfeffer wrote.
Kamerman was a native of Chicago. She graduated from Knox College, in Illinois, in 2008 with a dual bachelor�s degree in Anthropology and Sociology. She earned her master�s in higher education from the University of Arizona in 2012.
Jackson notified Elon students and staff of her passing by a campus email.
�She had many friends at Elon and was a very engaging and positive-minded professional who championed the ideals of inclusion and respect,� that email said.

It is an interesting campaign tool by Greg Abbott - lawsuits.
It works, though.
These days, when most cringe over absurd lawsuits against fast-food establishments because a person spills coffee on herself, the attorney general of Texas is on the campaign trail touting the number of lawsuits he has filed.
I don't blame him. Go for it, because it all depends on the target of the lawsuits.
Abbott, the presumed GOP frontrunner for governor, made a stump stop in Amarillo this past week at Oliver Saddle Shop.
One of his selling points?
Abbott has filed 29 lawsuits against the Obama administration.
"The thing I may be best known for are the lawsuits I have filed against Barack Obama and his administration," said Abbott, a comment that drew applause and appreciative hollers. "I have filed - already - 29 lawsuits against Barack Obama and his administration."
Abbott pointed out the "challenge" he waged against Obamacare (time will tell if the "affordable" part of the Affordable Care Act is an accurate term) and the "multitude" of lawsuits he has waged against the Environmental Protection Agency "that is trying to impose job-killing regulations on the robust energy industry in the state of Texas."
The lawsuits are just a symbol of a larger battle, and even if the attorney general was preaching to the Amarillo choir and only trying to score political points, he has a point that will resonate.
There are many, especially in Texas, that agree with Abbott's description of the federal government as having a "heavy hand" and being "overreaching" in its quest to control more and more of our lives. Abbott may have been using politician-speak (which hardly makes him unique among Republicans or Democrats), but there's still an element of legitimacy to what he says - if you look past the lawsuits to the reasons behind them.
A pat on the back
To gas prices: Hard to believe, but gas prices deserve a pat on the back. I recently saw gas for less than $3 a gallon - provided you had a discount card, which I, conveniently, did not. Still, gas for less than $3 a gallon makes it a lot easier to fill up the tank.
A kick in the pants
To the national debt: It is amazing that this country is some $17 trillion in debt, but most of us just shrug.
Sooner or later, someone is going to have to pay this bill. It is as simple as that. What is disappointing is the level of apathy about what this means for the future.

How did I make this card (6"x6") :
1- Cut a 6x6" piece in a white cardstock.
2- On this square, create your "patchwork" with different kind of squares ( using different patterned papers, different sizes...). When the right association is found, paste it on the white cardstock.
3- Cut to open the card in order to have 2 pieces from this patchwork.
4- Paste this 2 parts on the card and add few embelishments.

We cut concrete, not corners.
At Penhall, safety isn't just a practice – it's our culture. Ensuring the safety of our team and industry partners is a deeply ingrained Penhall priority. Through comprehensive and consistent training, mentorship, and a Behavior Based Safety (BBS) program, Penhall has maintained one of the best safety records in the industry.
Behavior Based Safety Program
Over the years, Penhall's BBS program has prevented injuries and increased safety awareness. Using various methods, employees and supervisors are taught how to talk with each other about safety, recognize safe and unsafe conditions and behaviors, and correct unsafe actions.
Safety-Focused Training
Throughout the first two weeks of employment, new hires are introduced to Penhall's unwavering commitment to a safety.
Our Zero Accident work place training is conducted in the following ways:
- Employee orientation – new employees receive comprehensive, in-depth training on Penhall's dedication to safe, accident/incident-free work environments.
- Field work introduction – new trainees serve in various capacities of both helper and worker and receive performance reviews by both peers and management.
- In-class training – new employees are trained on the basics of the concrete cutting industry; includes presentations, written test, and review of standard operating procedures.
- Shop training – new employees receive training in Penhall's maintenance shop on the aspects of care and preventative maintenance of the equipment used in the field.
"In observing Penhall, it was immediately obvious that they had the skills and capabilities necessary to perform the work we needed. It was also obvious that the Penhall crew and their on-site management were extremely focused on safety. They repeatedly demonstrated effective planning and communication with their personnel, as well as with other work groups on the Project, including Kiewit. Their repetitive reinforcement of "Safety First" started with their first meeting in the morning and continued throughout the work day. They not only talked about safety, they demonstrated it in all their activities. I was very impressed by their communications, their conduct of work, work activity preparations, peer checking, and their willingness to utilize a questioning attitude. The Penhall team truly "Talked the Talk and Walked the Walk" for safety with their people. Using a term from my military days, BRAVO ZULU to Penhall, job well done!"

Always Running
I run a lot. Literally. A typical Saturday is a 20+ mile run followed by a 10+ mile run on Sunday. 30+ mile weekends give you a lot of time to think and ponder. It is my time to recharge and enjoy the beauty of the world.
A Secret
I have never told my wife this, but I spend most of my time thinking about her when I run. You see, I play with my wedding ring on these runs. Moving it around my finger with my thumb and pinky finger I ponder our life together and the day we met. I recall our conversations. I remember her telling me that she can do anything that she sets her mind to do. It keeps me grounded and focused. It is also what keeps me alive. Really, let me explain.
Finding the Right Balance
Distance running is a delicate balance. Not only a balance of strength and will, but a balance of proper hydration and electrolytes. I have ran with people that run so hard they pass out. I don't have that will to push that hard in me. I prefer a different approach.
My wedding ring is my life line; an indicator of proper balance. When my ring is too tight, there is an imbalance. Sometimes it can get so tight that I want to cut it off. But it is up to me to figure out the imbalance. Am I pushing too hard? Am I drinking enough water? Do I need a salt tablet or have I taken too many? My ring is the indicator that tells me if I need to make any adjustments. If I don't make any adjustments, I am setting my self up to crash.
You Know What is Wrong
We are all running full steam ahead. So how do you know when life is out of balance? When the balance between work and family is teetering the wrong way. You feel pressure from all sides and you want to "cut off the ring" to relieve the pressure. I would bet that you actually know when things are our of balance.
It is up to you to take action. Tweet This
Here is one quick action you can take right now: A friend of mine recently wrote a post about his dedication to taking more time off of work. He says that after time off, he comes back more refreshed and with a healthier perspective. I encourage you to take some time off to gain a new perspective and find balance.
Measurement is Motivation
After some time off, think about how to measure your journey. What is your 'wedding ring?' I have poster up in my office that reads, "Measurement is Motivation." Consistent measurement will ensure you arrive at the finish line without passing out. For me, my wedding ring is the tool that keeps me focused on moving forward and evaluating whether I need to make adjustments or stay on course. It is my motivation to either push harder or hold back and make adjustments. It is personal. It keeps me focused on the right balance of pushing just hard enough to accomplish the next goal and not so hard where I ignore the consequences.
It is Personal
Your 'wedding ring' may be core values that you hold dear to your heart. It may be your faith or a faith symbol. What ever it is, make it personal. Make it something you can see everyday that reminds you to take time to measure and adjust.
Small Steps
My 30+ mile weeks are adding up a my first 100 mile run. 100 miles to think of my wife and what the rings means to our marriage. 100 miles of paying attention and making critical adjustments – not over correcting or under correcting. In all that I do, I strive to be better with each step. That requires a lot of evaluations.
My secret is is taking small, consistent steps forward. Small steps give you time to evaluate how things are going and make adjustments before it's too late. Small steps make a 100 mile run through Kansas easy. They make building a business a process. Small steps are the building blocks to long term success. Sometimes a small step is making the decision to get out of bed. Other times the small step is a little bigger – like deciding to open up a new office in a neighboring city.
Either way, even the smallest of steps keep things moving forward. Tweet This


text: A couple things I noticed, and would like to ask about: When I plug my phone in, the LED light on the left hand side of the D2 does not light up anymore. Is this a known issue / fixable? Will there be any form of power control for the D2 in terms of changing the 3G peak/off peak settings? I noticed that the settings for a lock screen time limit was removed (i.e. 15 minutes w/ screen off until the phone asks for a pin). Will this be re-implemented? Thank you in advance for your answers, and keep up the amazing work on my new favorite ROM

Chapter 36 1 Have mercy upon us, O Lord God of all, and behold us:2 And send thy fear upon all the nations that seek not after thee.3 Lift up thy hand against the strange nations, and let them see thy power.4 As thou wast sanctified in us before them: so be thou magnified among them before us.5 And let them know thee, as we have known thee, that there is no God but only thou, O God.6 Shew new signs, and make other strange wonders: glorify thy hand and thy right arm, that they may set forth thy wondrous works.7 Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath: take away the adversary, and destroy the enemy.8 Sake the time short, remember the covenant, and let them declare thy wonderful works.9 Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire; and let them perish that oppress the people.10 Smite in sunder the heads of the rulers of the heathen, that say, There is none other but we.11 Gather all the tribes of Jacob together, and inherit thou them, as from the beginning.12 O Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by thy name, and upon Israel, whom thou hast named thy firstborn.13 O be merciful unto Jerusalem, thy holy city, the place of thy rest.14 Fill Sion with thine unspeakable oracles, and thy people with thy glory:15 Give testimony unto those that thou hast possessed from the beginning, and raise up prophets that have been in thy name.16 Reward them that wait for thee, and let thy prophets be found faithful.17 O Lord, hear the prayer of thy servants, according to the blessing of Aaron over thy people, that all they which dwell upon the earth may know that thou art the Lord, the eternal God.18 The belly devoureth all meats, yet is one meat better than another.19 As the palate tasteth divers kinds of venison: so doth an heart of understanding false speeches.20 A froward heart causeth heaviness: but a man of experience will recompense him.21 A woman will receive every man, yet is one daughter better than another.22 The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance, and a man loveth nothing better.23 If there be kindness, meekness, and comfort, in her tongue, then is not her husband like other men.24 He that getteth a wife beginneth a possession, a help like unto himself, and a pillar of rest.25 Where no hedge is, there the possession is spoiled: and he that hath no wife will wander up and down mourning.26 Who will trust a thief well appointed, that skippeth from city to city? so [who will believe] a man that hath no house, and lodgeth wheresoever the night taketh him?
Chapter 37 1 Every friend saith, I am his friend also: but there is a friend, which is only a friend in name.2 Is it not a grief unto death, when a companion and friend is turned to an enemy?3 O wicked imagination, whence camest thou in to cover the earth with deceit?4 There is a companion, which rejoiceth in the prosperity of a friend, but in the time of trouble will be against him.5 There is a companion, which helpeth his friend for the belly, and taketh up the buckler against the enemy.6 Forget not thy friend in thy mind, and be not unmindful of him in thy riches.7 Every counsellor extolleth counsel; but there is some that counselleth for himself.8 Beware of a counsellor, and know before what need he hath; for he will counsel for himself; lest he cast the lot upon thee,9 And say unto thee, Thy way is good: and afterward he stand on the other side, to see what shall befall thee.
