Big Data makes some people breathless. And it makes others shiver. What both sides share is the understanding that Big Data is going to make a big difference, in all of our lives. Whether that difference serves the social good or not remains to be seen.
Big Data is the information produced by our on-line interactions. Some people call it "data exhaust" – the by-product of our online shopping, browsing, networking, emailing, calendaring and the like. Everything we do online leaves a digital trace somewhere. And those digital traces of human activity are adding up to huge datasets.
Humans aren't the only players in this mix. The Internet of Things is poised to be an even bigger piece of the global Big Data pie. As increasing numbers of things are tagged with devices that produce information – "I am too cold" "I am no longer functioning" "I am consuming too much electricity" — Big Data will be not just be information about what we do, but it will be information about everything. Big Data is going to keep getting bigger.
The notion of massive data sets that offer, for the first time in history, global pictures of whole systems sounds pretty exciting. Experts in fields ranging from sociology to energy efficiency to economics to philanthropy are jumping into the fray, trying to find ways of mining Big Data for insights, solutions and new products and services. It has the potential to make our world better, faster and cheaper.
Andrew Zolli, curator at PopTech, recently recounted a story of how Big Data is helping to better people's everyday lives. This story focuses on Water for People, a nonprofit that works at a grassroots level with very poor communities around the world to build sources of clean water. In a recent audit, the organization found that fully 60% of the wells they put together were no longer working. So they built an automated technology platform called FLOW that allows people in the field to update on a point by point basis the quality of their wells. The updating takes place via an Android device and it synchs automatically to a Google Maps picture. Today, the organization and their local partners can see at a glance 60,000 water sources and determine if they are green, yellow or red.
Zolli commented, "We are going to be producing a lot of data in real time for the first time ever to see if the behavioral change models we are putting into place actually work. This terrifies many people in the space. For the first time, the data about the thing that we did is going to be a primary asset that we can open source, remix, and do deep mash up analytics on top of. The ability to push the data out into the field suggests that even when we fail, the precise data about how we failed is going to have enormous value. The data may do the talking for us in the future."
Peter Warden, in an article at O'Reilly Radar, argues that the real disruptive power of Big Data is price. With the introduction of Hadoop clusters (an open source, distributed computing model), anyone with an Amazon account can process huge amounts of data for just dollars an hour. Processing costs are dropping in the same way storage costs dropped in the last decade. Warden writes, "Now that processing has become cheap too, a whole universe of poverty-stricken hackers, academics, makers, reporters, and startups can do interesting things with massive data sets."
Investors and marketers are also chasing the Big Data dream. Data mining, knowledge management, personalization, and much more are huge opportunities for startups and established players to create new solutions. And as Big Data moves increasingly to the cloud, making it accessible from anywhere, whole new categories of companies will emerge. Ping Li, a partner at Accel, wrote in GigaOm of a new wave of enterprise technology solutions that are moving beyond traditional relational databases into new, disruptive architectures optimized for the cloud. "As this cloud stack hardens, new applications and services –- previously unthinkable -– will come to light, in all shapes and sizes. But the one thing they will all have in common is Big Data."
It all sounds very cool. But there is a flip side.
Big Data has not so subtle overtones of Big Brother. Who is collecting all of the information we leave in our digital wake, both intentionally and unintentionally? How can it be protected from unwanted suveillance? What can be learned about us from it? And, perhaps even more significantly, how will this new knowledge impact the evolution of social norms? As internet researcher danah boyd said in a recent speech, "Big Data isn't arbitrary data; it's data about people's lives, data that is produced through their interactions with others, data that they don't normally see let alone know is being shared. The process of sharing it and using it and publicizing it is a violation of privacy. Our obsession with Big Data threatens to destabilize social situations and we need to consider what this means."
Big Data analysis not only can be irresponsible, but it can be deeply misleading . One of the more insidious aspects of Big Data is our shared cultural belief that data are objective and that analyzing them produces facts, not opinions. Once people in all professions begin to dig into Big Data sets and start to draw conclusions from them, we need to heed boyd's words of warning, "Every act of data analysis involves interpretation, regardless of how big or mathematical your data is." In other words, as we build tools to analyze these massive data sets, we need to be attentive to where the data come from and not seek answers from them that they cannot reliably give.
Many highly respected professionals, from all fields, will turn to Big Data to understand and solve problems, support policy decisions and directions, and create innovations on all fronts. We must remain mindful that the biases and misinterpretations of these data will impact people's lives. As boyd says, "The Uncertainty Principle doesn't just apply to physics. The more you try to formalize and model social interactions, the more you disturb the balance of them." A fair and useful warning.
Beyond that, we need to be aware that all the tiny pieces of data in those massive sets represent some action, somewhere at some time, that takes place in a specific context. And that context often includes a person, like you and me. When it comes to the safe, responsible and effective use of data, that context matters. We need to find ways of housing Big Data not just in the cloud, but within a social construct that protects all of us who give birth to its many elements.

Rolling Stone remains the leading magazine worth quoting. This is one that never ceases to provide food for critical thought. One of finest pieces of journalism that is there today. Or there was ever.
This week, Matt Taibbi writes about Kashmiri earthquake and says:
Even the most godless among us has to tremble before the biblical scale of the past twelve months' headlines: the tsunami that swallowed south Asia, the deadly lady named Katrina (also known as America Not Immune) and now this. We do not seem to be going forward very much, but every few months we lose, somewhere, a big piece of the world map, a mysterious and enervating process that is becoming like an ominously steady drip that can be heard all over the planet.
And this, the massive earthquake that rocked Kashmir on October 8th, is the worst by far of the troika. It is a calamity the dimensions of which the world so far has completely failed to appreciate or understand. Coupled with the geopolitical nature of the misfortune — testing the nerve of two antsy nuclear antagonists and the political health of a somewhat notorious but also critically important American ally regime — the continuing disaster known as the Kashmiri earthquake threatens to be a world-shaping event as important as the Iraq War itself."
A very humanist, and a very critical examination of the disaster, not stopping at the 80,000 toll, but actually predicating the aftermath of it as the bigger cataclysm yet to appear. This winter, he knows Pakistan will bleed. And the world, like in the past, may remain largely indifferent. An ally of the United States not since Bin Laden, but since well before the Bangaldesh War, Pakistan stands to count on the world leaders' contributions to rehabilitate its people. Pakistan government and its people have done all that they could in times of adversity. Now is the time for the world to respond. Albeit lately. Taibbi says:
It just so happens that this process is taking place at a time when, in the wake of the tsunami and Katrina, giving from the West is unusually phlegmatic; to date, only about $131 million of a U.N. target $550 million has been raised, an embarrassment that has prompted U.N. officials to issue statements actually chiding tight-fisted Western donors.
The U.S. Army was active in Muzaffarabad and other places, making nearly thirty helicopters available. But while it gives aid with a grunt at the end of a stick, or out the bay door of a chopper, fundamentalist Muslim organizations and Pakistani political parties are traveling high in the mountains by foot to give it by hand, with a kind word and a few more in the mother tongue."
Matt Taibbi, often compared with the Gonzo, is a phenomenon all by himself. Hunter S. Thompson indeed had a different style of writing than Matt. But where they intersect well are the level of honesty, the uncanny sense of dark humor and vivid critical imagination. Just as an example of his well meaning cultural locations, Taibbi in an interview said recently why he would not be called a journalist anymore (he said this referring to his editorial position in a paper in Russia). Why the demise had to be there, and why mainstream media is so fucked up:
I really loved Russia and I thought it was a great place. Unspoiled and different from America in such a great way, it's so different. Everything in America is so uniform. In Russia everywhere you go is completely insane. In Russia, if you wake up in the morning to go do something you're supposed to do for your job and end up 100 miles away stone drunk with a bunch of strangers it's totally OK. In America we're so efficient. When the Americans came into Russia en masse in the mid 90's they all had this crusading missionary attitude – like we have to change this place and turn it more into America. We have to take all these dingy old buildings and replace them with our gleaming corporate storefronts. We have to replace all these interesting idiosyncratic people and replace them with middle class managers who all want to buy IKEA furniture and go on vacations in Ibiza. They had a real missionary zeal about it.
And the reporters were worse than everybody. A lot of them didn't speak Russian too, and that infuriated me. They would hang out with each other. They would go only to Western-style bars, live in their compounds and write all these stories. That the plot of the story was always the same: If this politician spoke English and was pro-American than he was the good guy and whoever the Russian guy was the bad guy. And they were really ruthless about it. I got really upset about it."

Our scriptures, the Ramayan and the Mahabharat have some examples of great friendships. Social status, caste or race couldn't deter friendships even then. These stories go on to substantiate the strength of the relationship we choose for ourselves.
Ram – Sugreev
Ram was the seventh incarnation of Vishnu. He was in pursuit of his wife Sita, abducted by the demon king Ravana. Sugreev, the king of apes too had a similar story. His brother Bali had banished from the kingdom. Sugreev lived in the mountains of Rishimukh, where Bali would never come due to a curse. Sugreev needed someone powerful enough to overthrow Bali. Ram needed someone with the resources to locate Sita and free her from Ravana's captivity. The situation sowed the seeds of friendship between individuals of two different species. As per the pact, first Ram killed Bali and made Sugreev the king. Sugreev then mobilized a huge army of apes to locate Sita and help Ram kill Ravana in battle. A friendship forged in mutual distress, lasted lifelong. Adversities create strong friendships!
Ram – Vibhishan
Ravana's brother Vibhishan was a firm devotee of Vishnu. This was peculiar given he belonged to the demon race and it was obviously not appreciated by the demon king. Vibhishan was quick to recognize Ram has the supreme self and insisted Ravana return Sita and apologise for the act. Ravana, too egoistic to realize his mistakes and blinded by his powers, banished Vibhishan from the kingdom. Left with no choice, Vibhishan befriended Ram who promised to make him the king after killing Ravana. In a friendship between individuals of two different races, Vibhishan helped Ram in various stages of the war and ended up divulging the secret of Ravana's immortality. A victorious Ram, as promised, declared Vibhishan the king of Lanka. A foe's foe, always a useful friend!
Krishna – Sudama
Krishna, the eighth incarnation of Vishnu belonged to the royal family of Mathura. Sudama had his roots in a poor Brahmin household. Being classmates, they became closest friends. Once, when assigned the task of gathering firewood, they got stuck in a thunderstorm and spent the night on two adjacent trees. Sudama carried all the food and ended up eating Krishna's portion as well. Krishna joked about making Sudama 'pay-up' for the same, someday. As grown-ups, they moved on with life. Krishna became the king of Dwarka whilst Sudama remained poor. With time, Sudama's poverty got worse and he decided to seek help from Krishna. He reached the palace of Dwarka with a fistful of beaten rice as a humble gift for his long lost friend. Krishna wept at Sudama's state and greeted him with open arms. Such a bond friendship that went beyond social status shocked everyone. Sudama was treated as a royal guest whilst Krishna savoured every bite of the beaten rice. Sudama returned home to realize his poverty was a thing of the past. Mystic powers of Krishna had given him all that he needed but could not say. A true friend listens to words unspoken!
Krishna – Arjun
Krishna and the Pandav princes were cousins and Krishna was particularly fond of Arjun. It was friendship that that bound them more than the family relations. A friendship that stood the test of time, Krishna was by Arjun's side through thick and thin. Among many things, it was Krishna who helped Arjun build the city of Indraprasth. To strengthen their ties, Krishna got his sister Subhadra married to Arjun, against the wish of his elder brother Balram. It was on Krishna's advice that Arjun set on his pursuit of divine weapons and attained them. Arjun considered Krishna's guidance and advice so valuable that he chose an unarmed Krishna over Krishna's million strong army. In spite of being a king himself, Krishna agreed to be Arjun's charioteer is the war of Mahabharat. When Arjun's mind wavered at the thought of fighting his own kith and kin, it was Krishna who guided him back to the path of Karma through the Bhagwat Geeta discourse. During the war, it was the combination of Krishna's strategic thinking and Arjun's execution that led to victory. Right friendships do put you on the winning track!
Duryodhan – Karn
The citizens of Hastinapur had just witnessed the martial skills of their royal princes who trained under the tutelage of Guru Drona. The young Pandav prince Arjun, an archer, had the audience mesmerized with some sharp shooting and use of divine arrows. Guru Drona claimed Arjun to be most skilled archer of the time. A young man entered the scene, challenging the claim. Karn, who claimed to be a skilled archer himself wanted to fight Arjun to show his mettle. On being asked to introduce himself, Karn claimed to be the son of a charioteer. He came from a lowly class versus the royalty of Arjun. Karn was denied an opportunity to exhibit his skills and was insulted. Duryodhan, the eldest Kuru prince was impressed by Karn's courage and declared him the king of Anga, which bestowed Karn a status equal to that of Arjun. Thus began a friendship that went beyond caste. Karn, till the end of his life, remained a staunch friend. He remained a loyal friend when Duryodhan needed him most, fighting the Pandavs. Even after discovering that he too belonged to the Pandav clan. Friends in need, friends indeed!

How do London bagels compare to their carb cousins in New York and Montreal? We journeyed to Brick Lane in London's trendy Shoreditch neighborhood to investigate this controversial situation.
After we heard a rumor that Beigel Bake has bagels that rival New York City and Montreal, we hit the tube and headed to Shoreditch' Brick Lane to be the judge of this dubious bagel claim. You see, we're somewhat bagel obsessed.
We love bagels in New York, Montreal and even in our home city of Philadelphia. But London? How good could the London bagels really be???
After entering Beigel Bake's simple storefront, we got a good vibe right away from the shop's stereotypical Jewish deli atmosphere. Since plain was the only bagel option, we didn't spend long picking out flavors.
Instead, we staked our spot at the slim counter and ordered one with smoked salmon and cream cheese and a second with salt beef, mustard and a gherkin. Within just a few moments, our bagel sandwiches arrived ready to eat.
Our bagel with smoked salmon, also known as lox, was straight up good. On the smallish side, the bagel was less dense than a New York bagel and not as sweet as a Montreal bagel. The sandwich tasted pretty good, and it disappeared quickly into our bellies.
We were mildly impressed by Beigel Bake but still weren't convinced about London bagels … until we bit into the salt beef sandwich. Loaded with devastatingly moist salt beef (similar to corned beef in the U.S.), slathered with mustard and topped with a pickle, this sandwich blew us away with its flavor and size. We took turns eating it until it was gone.
In fact, we would have bought a third bagel to share, but we were low on cash and the shop does not take credit cards. It's a shame because compared to New York, Montreal and Philadelphia, London bagels are downright cheap. A bagel with lox in NYC would cost a heck of a lot more than £1.80, that's for sure. Note -- this was the cost at the time of our visit and is subject to change.
Perhaps the best part of Beigel Bake is its hours. This bagel shop is literally open 24 hours a day, making bagels the perfect late night snack after a session at the pubs. Savvy budget-oriented travelers will want to make a pitstop here before trekking home to one of the best hostels in London.
Although the shop also sells sweets and bread, we recommend sticking with the bagels since they're so darn good. Just be sure to bring some pounds with you when you go.
Beigel Bake is located at 159 Brick Lane, London E1 6SB, UK.

Camping is a fun for people of any age. Read on to find some great advice so you embark on a fun wilderness adventure.
Don't worry about over-packing for your kids on a camping trip. Camping can get very messy. Kids are seriously attracted to dirt. This means you should prepare to have dirty during the day. While this cannot usually be prevented, you should have extra clothing on hand.
Make sure to have an idea of the weather before going on your trip. There are several websites that will give you about local climates. This information can help you better prepare by having the right clothes and equipment.
Try to fit swimming into your camping trip if at all possible. You might long for a good shower at your home when you are camping.
Emergency kits are one of the most important things to bring on a good thing to have prepared for any camping trip. Take precautions for wildlife too, like antivenom.
There may be spiders or bears that could pose a threat.Every camping spot has a few dangers that you should be aware of.
If you are camping for the first time, keep your camping adventure near your home. You don't want to be far away if you decide you've had enough of camping, or you might figure that you want to cut your camping trip short. You might find that you haven't packed enough clothes or food.A lot of issues can happen to those camping the first time, so do not go too far for your first camp trip.
Always pack enough food and the proper foods. A bout of food poisoning can end a fun trip. Prepare all of your food properly and research any necessary precautions.
People of every age love camping. It is important to educate yourself about camping prior to going on your next camping trip. Hopefully the information you learned here will help you enjoy your camping trip.

Home security is something that you can't take lightly. Defending your home from intruders and threats extends even into the backyard. It's not just a concept that begins at your front door. Your backyard can be a very vulnerable area because it's an open space. Burglars are always looking for the least guarded and most vulnerable area to target. However, there are sure-fire ways to make your backyard less likely to be hit by thieves. Here are some of the easiest ways to make sure that your backyard becomes burglar-proof.
Think About Installing Robust Fences
Fences that are hard to break through or climb over are ideal for preventing burglars from getting into your property. The fence enclosing your backyard has to be high enough that it is impossible for the would-be burglar to climb and strong enough to stop anyone from kicking it in. Examples of ideal fences to keep out would-be robbers are chain-link fences and picket fences with really sharp points. The locking mechanism has to be top-notch, too. You should have either a lock or a latch that self-closes installed. Anything else, like a lock with a latch hole, is too easy to pry open.
Guard Your Outside Belongings
You should also try as hard as possible to secure the items that you keep in your backyard. If you are like a lot of folks, you probably keep lawn furniture, BBQs, tools, and other valuables in your backyard throughout the year. For starters, you should be sure to always put away all of your tools each day after you use them. You should use a chain or even a cable to lock your lawn furniture down tightly. Finally, remember to take pictures of your backyard from time to time; this will help you to document anything that's been stolen, just in case.
Obtain Sensor Lighting
Sensor lighting is great for added security in your backyard. It works like this: When motion is detected, the light will come on and stay on for up to 20 seconds at a time. This will clearly spook the would-be burglar, deterring him from continuing on with his illegal activity and causing him to flee. The light then automatically turns off when no more motion is detected. The good part about these sensor lights is that they are relatively cheap to purchase and easy to install. Sensor lights can be aimed at the backyard as well as the patio area, decks, and stairways.
These are the absolute easiest ways to make certain that your backyard becomes burglar-proof. For too many homeowners, the backyard is often neglected, but that's a mistake that could invite trouble. It's always better to be extremely vigilant and take these smart and practical pieces of advice in order to secure the backyard. Home security is something that extends into your backyard and doesn't just include the inside of your property. It is always best to deter thieves before they make it to your front or back door.

|The Furchester Hotel
|Air date
|January 9, 2015
|Simon Davies
|Jack Jameson
On a windy day, Furgus struggles to keep the revolving door from spinning wildly. The wind blows all of the papers in the hotel around. Suddenly, something whooshes into the lobby - it's Super Rock! With some help from the monsters, he's placed on the papers, keeping them from blowing away. He then hears the sounds of a brick wall in distress. Elmo helps him to the garden.
The two find a brick has fallen out of the wall. Super Rock is able to get it back in its place (with much help from Elmo). Super Rock declares Elmo has his new assistant and Elmo fetches a dish towel from Cookie Monster's laundry line for a cape. As they head back to the lobby, the Tea Time Monsters barge through, knocking down Super Rock. His cape receives a large tear in it, upsetting him; his cape is the source of all his rock powers!
While Phoebe goes to get it re-sewn, they try lifting his spirits by using him to cover blowing papers again. However, the wind is too strong and blows him and the papers away. Super Rock feels he's just an ordinary rock now, when Furgus gets trapped in the revolving door, which won't stop spinning. Elmo rolls Super Rock into the door, stopping it and saving Furgus.

Tips for Finding Best App Programmers
There are many companies that claims to include the best team of Android app developers, but all cannot be the same. Hence, it is important to check 10 must have tech skills in app programmers in order to get high ROI application.
Structured Query Language
Numerous banking, e-commerce and several other apps are dependent on databases. SQL has a set of instructions which can be used to interact with relational databases. With this language, you can achieve the proficiency of acquiring the required data from huge and last but not the least, multifaceted databases. Thus, android app programmers should be aware of SQL.
Java Programming Language
The knowledge of this language is considered as the basic requirement for developing path-breaking apps based on android. Hence, the developer needs to be proficient with the syntax of Java and basic programming language. Java can be used for developing android apps on mobile phones and tablets.
Android Software Development Kit
SDK is a software development kit that includes all the necessary libraries as well as files. Moreover, the kit also includes sample code with working app and the Android Virtual Device Manager is also there. With the device manager, application programmers can test their app on any version of Android.
This full-fledged programming language can provide dynamic interactivity on websites. Functionalities that this language offer are collecting and manipulating a video stream from user's web cam, generating audio samples, 3D graphics and setting CSS styles. In addition, it has functionality that includes Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) built into a web browser and third party APIs to include functionality in their sites from content providers like Facebook and Twitter.
MUST READ: Why Android Is Suitable For App Development?
This is a standard way to encode the data for internet based apps. It simplifies data transport by minimizing the complexity as data can be easily read by different applications. Moreover, XML also promotes data sharing by offering software as well as hardware independent way of storing information.
Android Studio
It offers tools that paves the way for hassle-free development of apps on any Android device. With world-class code editing, debugging, performance tooling, build/deploy and a flexible build system, development of unique and high-quality app is possible. Thus, android app programmers should be well-aware of Android Studio.
Git is a free and open source distributed version control system, designed to handle both small and large projects. This version control system records changes to a file or a set of files. It is widely used for software development and also features a distributed revision control system.
JavaScript Object Notation is a lightweight data-interchange format. Among app developers, JSON has emerged as the best language tool for interchanging data. It holds data in a human-readable collection that can be easily accessed in a logical manner.
This mobile app development platform uses a single JavaScript code-base for its apps and gives immense support to real-time mobile analytics. The platform helps in creating apps for Android, iOS and hybrid apps also.
This is cross-platform development tool, allowing developers build native, android and windows app with a single shared c# code-base. There is no exaggeration in saying that for an android app programmer, cross-platform development skill is very important as this helps in delivering apps on different platforms. The tool includes native API access and has the ability to add components directly from an interface.
Such is the business trend these days –"A business without a mobile application is a startup without investment". The latest trend or better to say necessity is that every business whether on a large scale or small scale, will have a genuine and user friendly mobile application that not only helps the business to grow but also helps in promoting the business, creating an identity and also enhancing the image and prestige of the business.

Whether you are an Android user or a apple's iOS user, you have to admit the way Android has taken off in business marketing. It is said to be getting bigger and better day by day so tighten your seat belts as Android has a lot more to offer for you and your business.
With the availability of more and more OS platforms, app developers are presented with a dilemma on what platform should their app be developed. The Android OS, developed by Google remains the top choice for app developers. It is based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as tablets, and smartphones. It has been the best-selling OS on tablets and on smartphones since 2013, and has the largest installed base.
So why do developers choose Android?
Let's take a look at few of the reasons that make android the top and obvious choice among app developers.
Android apps are mainly developed using Java programming language, making it easily portable to other mobile operating systems like BlackBerry and Ubuntu. Apart from mobile OS, android apps can also be ported to Chrome OS. Microsoft has already begun developing a new way to port android apps to Windows 10 with more ease.
Custom ROMS
"Rooting" is the Android equivalent to jailbreaking and helps the developers to install customized operating systems on the device. By doing this the developers can learn more about the OS, and improve its performance. Some Android manufacturers even help in "rooting", where as jailbreaking is an actual crime in the USA.
Low Entry Barrier
Android actually encourages people to develop more apps and the approval process is very simple, in this way android provides a lower entry barrier. The developer has to register on the Android market, prepare the APK and submit it to Android. And the app development can be done on Windows, Mac or Linux. However in the case of iOS devices, development of an app requires a mac and a yearly subscription to the Apple Store.
Versatile Hardware Choice
Android is made to be compatible with almost any device that is manufactured around the globe. This gives the option of using a variety of device for the development and testing of various applications. These developers include a wide range of advanced features into the device, which can then be effectively utilized by developers worldwide. These features are comparable to those available with the expensive models and high-end phones, and are also easy to fit into your budget.
Easier to learn
Google's Android is reported to be much easier to learn than the iOS or BlackBerry, by professionals who have studied both. And it can be learned from scratch, faster than other platforms. Hence, developers starting out with mobile application development will find it very easy to develop for Android.
Introduction Of Marshmallow
Recently Google Inc. revealed the latest and most awaited version of Android OS, i.e. Android M- Marshmallow. It presents developers with exciting ways to enhance their existing apps. Here are a few significant features.
The Android Pay
Android pay allows users to store all the information regarding their debit or credit on the device. This helps developers to market their apps and incorporate micro-transactions within the app. Regular payments can be made to any shopping or game app without having to enter the Credit Card Information all the time.
App Linking
Marshmallow came with an update in improving Android's app linking ability. Now when a user opens a company's domain it automatically opens the company's app if it is installed on the device. It does not ask whether it needs to open in the browser or another app.
All the above-mentioned features along with being innovative and creative make android the top choice among android app developers across the globe.
Android is an open and a free platform which built on the software Linux. It offers a complete and whole software stack including operating systems along with key mobile applications. Android system was initially launched in the year 200 when it was in its early development stages. With the efforts of Google, the familiarity and visibility for android mobile technology grew substantially.
This is one of the core reasons why android is fairly competing with apple and many other multifarious smart phone operating systems .The demand for the android system has escalated so undoubtedly it can be said the best platform which is suitable for app development. There are several reasons why it is suitable for application development such as:
1) INVESTMENT COST IS LOW WITH HIGH ROI: Android provides a free development kit (SDK) to the entire community of developers which further minimizes the development and other costs of licensing.
This is the android platform is considered a quite enchanting way of developing apps because it is easy for handset manufacturers and wireless operator to work on it. Conclusively, faster development of android based phones can take place.
4) EASY CONSOLIDATION: Android is very beneficial in the way that it can be easily integrated according to the needs of the business units. It provides the best link between the architecture and the application processes. Easy integration of the mobile app can be done according to the requirements. Hence, the need for complex technical customization is reduced.
5) EASY ADOPTION: Applications of android are encrypted in java language with the help of largely set libraries. It is easy to adopt and do scripting of the code for mobile applications in the android OS. Java developers can easily perform the transition of the code script in a mobile application.
6) VARIOUS CHANNELS FOR SALES: Android applications can be installed in different ways. You need not have any specific channel for the promotion and distribution of your product. Rather, you can self-create multiple channels or any third party application for easy building of sales and publishing your advertisements. It is quite interactive and easy ways to reach out to your customers.
With the advent of recent technologies and emerging techniques have led to grow the market of mobile industry, which in turn, given rise to rapid increase of Mobile applications. Due to tremendous acceleration of this growing and lucrative industry, everyone is trying to leverage this growing industry. But being a part of this is not at all that easy.

Fairfax Fuels Rumours Of Domain Split With Share Trading Halt
Fairfax Media has issued a trading halt to shareholders amid speculation that the company will spin off its real estate business into a separate entity.
Fairfax said in an ASX statement yesterday that the trading halt was issued "pending a release of an announcement in relation to the Domain Group".
The trading halt comes after the Fairfax-owned Australian Financial Review revealed the company is being advised on the move by Macquarie Capital and the new business will be run by Domain CEO Anthony Catalano.
According to the AFR, Fairfax would retain between 60 per cent and 70 per cent of Domain under the separation plan, which is designed to let a market value be placed on the real estate business, which delivered 40 per cent growth in Fairfax's earnings to $120 million during the 2015-16 financial year.
Fairfax is expected to report its results for the first half of this financial year tomorrow, but the company's shares could remain in a trading halt until the market opens on Thursday.

A Canadian Influence
Pierre Elliot Trudeau was a great influence on Canadian history, and helped maintain strong bonds with the French society in Canada creating a strong bond between the French and the English, while promoting Canadian unity and independence.
Pierre Trudeau was first elected Canada's Prime Minister in 1968. He remained in power over the following 16 years, except for a Leading Canada until 1979 and again from 1980 to 1984, the influence of Trudeau's policies and actions is still strong. From the Official Languages Act in 1969, to the October Crisis in 1970, the 1980 referendum and the patriation of the Constitution in 1982, Trudeau dominated Canada's political landscape like few others.
Trudeau was born Joseph Philippe Pierre Ives Elliott Trudeau in Montréal, Québec, in 1919, the youngest of three children. Growing up in a bilingual household Trudeau learned the advantages of being able to speak both languages fluently, and saw no problem with having both the French and English language as a primary language.
Trudeau was a founder of the review Cité Libre ("Free City"), which was established in 1950 and became the leading publication attacking Duplessis and his party, the Union Nationale. Trudeau was also a leader in the formation of the Rassemblement; a group devoted to fighting Duplessis by arousing public opinion against him. It provided much of the intellectual basis for the revived Québec Liberal Party, which defeated the Union Nationale in 1960. Cité Libre emphasized concern for the individual and held that economic opportunities should be equal for all, so that each person could develop freely. According to Trudeau, aspirations to make Québec a separate nation were wrong and the province should instead seek its fulfilment within the Canadian federal system. The ideal state for Cité Libre was democratic, socialist, federal, and pacifist.

The Morning Download: Managing the Revolution
Good morning. The phrase "adapt or die" no longer implies an evolutionary process; it implies revolutionary transformation. Many CIOs will be caught flat-footed by the surge in consumer adoption of Android-based mobile devices, which is growing six times faster than the iPhone did after it launched, forcing CIOs to imagine a new paradigm for managing these devices in the corporate environment. And as Forrester Research analyst James McQuivey tells CIO Journal, the pace of change no longer gives CIOs a chance to catch their breath. "Companies once had a decade to embrace and respond to disruptive technology, but that's not the case anymore," he said.

On Wednesday October 28, 2009 the Los Angeles County Sherriff's Department (LASD) released RFP IS-10255005 for a Mobile Data Computer (MDC) System. The Department is seeking a vendor to enter into a three year contract with options to extend for a total of 5 years to provide Mobile Data Terminals, associated hardware/software, installation, training and maintenance. The vendor will also provide recommendations and design of the integration of future technologies including, Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR), In-Car-Video, and LA-RICS private data network modem and Printers. These components will be installed in 125 department vehicles at a time for a total of 2,500 vehicles; this will be one of the largest Mobile Data Computer projects nationwide.
Additionally, the LASD is interested in deploying Digital In Car Video Cameras in the near future and will accept cost proposals for Digital Video Solutions in conjunction with this RFP. This portion of the RFP is optional and purchase of the cameras may or may not be executed at this time. Purchasing these technologies at the same time allows the Department to save time and maximize purchasing power by consolidating the bidding, installation and training schedules.
While many smaller implementations of Mobile Data Computers are falling by the wayside due to budget cuts this year, this RFP represents an opportunity for vendors to do a tremendous amount of business with a single agency. The LASD is the largest Sherriff's Department in the U.S. and the fourth largest local level law enforcement agency in the U.S. This RFP will likely generate heated competition for the money involved, and an elevation in status that comes with winning such a large contract.
The Department has established the following timeline for the RFP: written questions will be accepted by the Department until November 4th, on November 10th a mandatory proposer's conference will be held and final proposals are due November 24th. I will continue to report on this project and GovWin members can receive automatic updates on the RFP process by logging in and marking Opportunity Report 58980.

Benefits of Installing Blackout Blinds in Your Bedroom
Sleep is a big deal. So big, in fact, that people will do just about anything to ensure they get the best night's rest possible. One of those things is installing blackout curtains or blinds in the bedrooms of their home. Blackout blinds can provide uninterrupted sleep by blocking out light, especially during the mornings and midday. However, they have many more benefits, as well. Below are four benefits of installing 'blackouts' in your bedrooms.
Blackouts Provide Noise Reduction
Noise outside can be just as disturbing, if not more disturbing, than sunlight. However, a good blackout blind can completely block out or reduce the amount of noise entering your bedroom. So, you won't be awakened by the sounds of cars driving by, lawns being mowed, kids playing outside and more. This means you can sleep in when you want.
They Can Help Lower Your Energy Bills
Energy efficiency is another bonus of blackout window treatments, as energy efficient products can save you a lot of money. Blackout window treatments have thicker material, which can help insulate your room by keeping the heat or air in while blocking out drafts. They can also help cool your room by significantly reducing the amount of sun and heat entering your room. So, your bedroom will be comfortable all year round, which is also a major contributor to a good night's sleep.
Available in Many Styles and Colours
Blackouts are available in a variety of styles and colours, which means it won't be difficult to find a blind colour that matches your décor and style. However, the most popular styles are roller, Venetian, Roman and vertical blinds. The blinds you choose will depend on your style and needs, but roller and Roman blinds are the most effective at reducing noise and the amount of light that enters your room. These styles and more can be found at Braid Flooring and Blinds.
Provide Optimal Privacy
These blinds not only block out the light, they also prevent anyone from seeing into your room or even seeing your light from the outside. Not only that, roller blinds and others like them allow you to see outside without allowing anyone to see inside. This makes them ideal for bedrooms, where lots of privacy is needed.
If you have questions about blackout blinds, please get in touch with us.

I'm typically a leggings all day every day kinda girl and on the rare occasion that I do wear jeans, I'll change into sweats the minute I get home.
At the beginning of my break I found these jeans in my closet and aside from loving the super dark wash, I loved how soft they were without ever being broken in. I decided to wear them out shopping a few days later and I forgot I was wearing them and was convinced I was wearing leggings. I quickly remembered when I tried to pull a pair of pants over them in the store like I always do with leggings (I'm not a fan of fitting rooms). These definitely are my new go to jeans when I want to stay comfy all day and you'll be seeing a lot more of them in future posts.
I'm also still getting used to being in front of the camera and realizing how difficult it is for me to stay serious long enough for my picture to be taken. I'm so thankful Janice (who took these pictures) was so patient and really got into the shoot. I wouldn't be able to do these posts without my great friends (and little sister).

This may be unlike any question you have ever answered.
I have a sweet lady friend who I met online nearly 9 years ago. We are both married but our personalities clicked within minutes and we have been in daily contact since 2002. Our conversations have run the gamut….from how
to raise teens to home repairs….but also in the sexual realm.
We have discussed D/s many times and even roleplayed a few times but this past week she admitted things to me that confirmed she is indeed submissive and that she wants to pursue it further. Unfortunately we live 750 miles apart!
We met once at a restaurant and the next morning in my motel room 2 years ago. A nonsexual meeting that was over much too quickly. Do you have ideas on how we could have a successful D/s relationship while not in physical contact? Also what books or websites can I read that describe a non/pain type of dominance? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Healx finds possible treatments for rare diseases by finding new uses for already-approved drugs. Using their proprietary technology, Healx identifies which drugs or compounds could be matched for treatment for rare diseases, highlighting them for further testing. Healx works directly with patients to discover the key symptoms that need treatment, in order to focus on creating a direct response that aims to give them a better quality of life.
How they're disrupting
A combination of advanced data analytics, genomic profiling and natural language processing has given Healx a new technique for discovering connections between drugs and diseases. This technology allows matches to be found much more efficiently, both in terms of time and money.
Disruption potential
Out of the 350 million people globally who live with a rare disease, 99% don't have a viable treatment. With drug repurposing saving years and millions of dollars worth of development in comparison to standard drug discovery – as well as upping the success rate by 20% – there is a huge potential for growth.
Investments and future
The company has received $1.8 million in funding, with investments from Jonathan Milner and Amadeus Capital Partner. The firm says it will use the money to expand its technology platform and accelerate the drug review process, in hope of finding treatments to more illnesses.

The weather has been nothing but calm in Connecticut, but newsrooms across the area received an alert Thursday morning that a tsunami warning had been issued for parts of the state.
It was pretty clear that it was a mistake and the National Weather Service said that what was supposed to be a test was accidentally transmitted as a warning.
"As part of a routine monthly test issued by the National Weather Service/NWS National Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer Alaska...the NWS New York NY office sent a tsunami test warning message over NOAA weather radio all hazards. This transmission was sent to local emergency alert systems for possible redistribution," a statement from The National Weather service says. "There is no tsunami threat at this time."
The accidental alert mentioned Fairfield County; Long Island Sound, east of New Haven; New Haven County; Middlesex County and New London County.
The actual forecast is for nothing but a beautiful fall day, with highs between 75 and 80 and a light breeze.
Tsunami are rare, but they can happen along the East Coast. Read more anout tsunamis here.

FRINX Releases FD.io Distribution for Bandwidth-Hungry Applications
Bratislava, March 2017
FRINX, the Bratislava-based open source networking specialist, releases a distribution of the FD.io project and OpenStack ML2 drivers. Customers who run data plane hungry applications like media production or network function virtualization in OpenStack, benefit from the FRINX FD.io/ML2 distribution by gaining feature-rich, deterministic packet forwarding in user space together with a lightweight monitoring agent developed by FRINX.
FRINX has created a supported distribution of the FD.io Linux Foundation project and has added analytics software that allows the extraction of network data statistics and log information from the data plane. Analytics and log information are made available via a Kafka stream and can be stored as simple log files.
The FD.io technology brings enormous improvements in performance, drawing on Cisco and open source development and several years of production deployment experience. FRINX underpins all this with support from its team of open source networking experts.

FD.io packet processing runs in Linux user space, improving availability and speed of innovation. FD.io integrates DPDK PMD device drivers that support a wide range of NICs.
FRINX offers customers an alternative to the existing OpenStack networking options when they require a simple and feature-rich networking solution with unmatched deterministic data plane throughput and rich analytics.

Rimage presents efficient solutions to the long term preservation of digital video recordings on the IBC Frankfurt / Amsterdam, September 09, 2010 three trends characterize the AV industry: reduced costs of optical storage media, growing data volumes through HD and 3D, as well as longer archive guarantees on Blu-ray discs.

#GoingToBat Community Spotlight: David Robertson
When David Robertson isn't on the mound for the White Sox, he spends his time working with his foundation – High Socks for Hope.
Robertson and his wife, Erin, founded High Socks for Hope in 2011 after a tornado devastated his hometown of Tuscaloosa, Ala. Originally founded to support victims of natural disasters, High Socks for Hope has spread its mission to helping the homeless, disabled veterans and families in crisis.
The Homeless Veterans Program assisted Tuscaloosa Veterans Affairs to fully furnish 50 transitional housing units at Valor Grove. The complex, which opened in 2014, provides a safe place for veterans to live while transitioning from life in the military to civilian life.
Beds were the first items purchased for the Homeless Veterans Program; however, Robertson and the Foundation are also furnishing living rooms and dining rooms.
High Socks for Hope has also implemented a weather safety program to improve awareness about severe weather. The foundation distributes Weather Backpacks – filled with weather radio, batteries, basic toiletries, first aid kit and miscellaneous items -- at weather awareness events in the communities impacted by the 2011 tornadoes in Alabama.
The foundation's reach has grown beyond Alabama and has furnished more than 150 homes in New York following Hurricane Sandy, 25 homes in Oklahoma and Texas following a 2013 tornado and eight homes in Illinois following another natural disaster.
Currently, Robertson and High Socks for Hope are raising funds to help families affected by the February tornado in the Alabama towns of Aliceville and Pickens.
The funds raised through the High Socks for Hope website will help with building supplies and basic household items for families who lost everything.
Major Leaguers are #GoingToBat for causes near and dear to them, as they personify the Players Trust's motto to 'care, act and inspire.' To learn more about the charitable interests and activities of David Robertson and other Major Leaguers, please click here.
