This is the other quilt I finished for the store where I work. This fabric is from a collection called Tiny Tots by Red Rooster fabric. Cute little vintage kids. (Although to me, it's not quite as cute as American Jane.)
We've had the fabric for a bit, but of course, the panel has not sold because we haven't done anything with it yet. So, it was time to do something about that. This is a crib size quilt.
I really like the back used for this quilt. Such a good green! Also, we had a few bolts of the stripe, so I used it for the bias binding and I'm pleased with the result.
My sweet 2-year-old decided it to come "help" me take pictures. Seriously 2 minutes after I took this picture, he threw-up all over the floor. Yuck. Fortunately, the quilt was off the floor by then. However, this would not have been the first time we got bodily fluids on a quilt ready to be returned to the quilt store (as my kids call it). A few years ago I took a quilt out of the dryer and laid it on the floor to admire. My little girls decided it would be fun to come sit on the warm quilt. Well, one of them was wearing big-girl panties for the first time and let's just say, that quilt got washed twice.

Hi, This is a really simple question but I've been stuck on this for a while now. Does this line of code read a boolean input from the console?
userInput = TextIO.getlnBoolean();
I have looked up the textbook I am using(Introduction to Programming Using Java, Sixth Edition by David Eck) and this is what it says to put for a boolean input. The bottom console says that there is an illegal boolean input value. But the console wont let the user input anything the program just stops at that line. The console highlights this line as the problem but I can't see a problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks David

how much you think to spend per person, for xmas present?
how much you think to spend per person, for xmas present?
Unique jewellery at affordable prices. Great Xmas present ideas!
For me it depends on the person and how much I have to spend. Usually I usually buy for:
- My boyfriend: 50 - 100(=$70 - $145)
- Our dog: 5-10(=$7 - $15)
- My parents, brother and sister: 10-15 p.p.(=$15 - $20)
However there are years in which I find it very hard to stay within that budget. If I see something really nice and it costs more I usually buy it anyway.
What is a Christmas budget???? I wish i really knew, cuz every year i spend way to much money then i had planned on lol. I do know what it is just being a little sarcastic lol
Now wait a minute, Susie. Just because every child can't get his wish that doesn't mean there isn't a Santa Claus.
I'm like you, ikey2, I don't have a budget. Yes, I should, but I do layaways and try and pick up things through the year, so that helps.
I Love This Christmasy Time of Year!
hmmmm, i spend far to much every year, i usually plan on spending around £300 on each of my children and i have 2 and £300 boyfriend, but last year i ended spending £600 on each of my kids and £500 for my bf, so i went well over budget .
LOL....I like your style, Kimmy. While I don't really stick to a budget, I try and make things equal with everyone.
I Love This Christmasy Time of Year!
I don't really budget either. At all. I pretty much just start buying stuff early in the year with a bit of the extra money we've got; I'll take a few dollars here and there and buy a present for someone, stick it in my stash, and forget how much I spent!
I dont have a budget either I just buy stuff as I go along and spread it out
from about October onwards..
Budget? Bah!! Never works...
Always buy more just because its Christmas season and Im happy...
And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless us!! Everyone!!''
A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens (1843)
Usually I spend about $1200, but as this year is the first since I split from my husband I'm bugeting for half of that. The hard part will be to not go over board shopping for my son - I want Christmas morning to be as normal as possible for him, but it'll be hard to not over compensate.

November 28, 2013
By Marilyn Marshall
Special to the NNPA from the Houston Defender
The murder of another Houston-area teen at another house party promoted on social media is causing concern.
Braveon Terry, a 17-year-old high school student, died outside a Southwest Houston home after a disturbance escalated into gunfire. Three other males were injured, and police are still searching for the gunman. A week earlier, another deadly house party shooting left two teenagers dead and some 20 people injured.
Both shootings have focused attention on the dangers that can arise from social media. To shed light on the subject, the Defender turned to expert Crystal Washington, author of the book, "The Social Media WHY."
Q: For those who aren't social media-savvy, how is it different from calling someone on the phone?
A: Unlike sending physical invitations or inviting friends by phone, posting party invites on social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram opens you up to the world. Even if you post the invitation on a private profile, friends can easily share the information on the social networks with their own friends and strangers.
Q: If a teen puts a notification on social media, is there any way to control the response?
A: The only way to control the guest list of a party where invites were posted on social media is to not include details such as address. Instead, include a phone so that only those approved will receive the details by phone. Another option is to allow guests to RSVP by email, but only send the event details to those who the host/hostess approves.
Q: Do you have any general social media safety tips?
A: Always remember that nothing shared on social media is 100 percent private. Direct messages and items posted on personal profiles can easily be shared with the world by friends.
Q: What can parents can do?
A: Using apps like Net Nanny allows parents to restrict sites and monitor what their children and teens post on social media as well as messages they receive. This is not an issue of trust, it is one of safety. Social media opens children up to a world of opportunities and dangers. One wrong move can result in cyber-bullying, connecting with pedophiles, or being turned down for jobs and scholarships. Strategic use can allow kids to connect with college recruiters, hiring managers, and even impact others through community service and posting positive messages.

I didn't mention it on this blog, but from Thursday, the 9th of February to the 16th, I took the week off to fly back to Australia. It was two years since I had been back.
It was good because almost the whole family was there, and it gave me a chance to see how I might feel going back home for good. I didn't do much but relax. My car was out of service most of the time but it's funny how after so long you don't forget how to drive.
The most notable thing I did was cut my hair. When I gave myself that "trim" in Japan it was lopsided, so I couldn't really wear it out without some repair. So early morning April 15th, I got the clippers out to do this:
When I came back to Japan I decided that I was going to keep it short, for quite a while so I decided to look for some hair clippers.
I was at a school party one Saturday and I saw a pair of Phillips QC5530 hair clippers that were supposedly on sale at Bic Camera. I bought them only to find they were the normal price. I had points for Yodobashi, so the next day I took them to Bic in Shinjuku for a refund, to get them at the other store.
Close to a month later I clipped my hair to 15mm, but I was thinking I wanted to get the other model, so again I took it back.
The other model QC5550 had a special shaver attachment like one you'd usually use for your face, but it does a little bit more:
See where I'm going with this?
Uh oh :)

Earnings momentum for The Blackstone Group LP (BX) has been rising since this asset management company reported solid third quarter results in mid October, which included a positive surprise of 31.0%. This Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) has beaten quarterly earnings estimates in three of the last four quarters with an average beat of 18.1%.
Blackstone has an expected long-term earnings growth rate of 19.6% and pays a dividend that yields 2.62% annually. Moreover, with a P/B multiple of just 0.68, this stock is an attractive pick for value investors.
Impressive Q3 Results
On Oct 18, Blackstone Group reported third quarter earnings of 55 cents per share, outpacing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 31.0% and reversing the year-ago loss of 34 cents. The better-than-expected results were due to significant top-line growth, partly offset by higher expenses.
Total revenue jumped to $1,223.1 million from a loss of $124.1 million in the prior-year quarter. The improvement was attributable to solid increases in total performance fees, total investment income, interest and dividend revenue, as well as other revenue. Total expenses spiked 57.4% year over year to $851.4 million, primarily driven by a sizeable rise in compensation and benefits expenses.
As of Sep 30, fee-earnings AUM advanced 26.9% year over year to $168.6 billion, due to $43 billion of gross inflows, partly offset by $11 billion of capital deployment activities.
Earnings Estimates Rising
Over the past 60 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2012 advanced 1.9% to $1.61 per share, as 9 of 11 estimates moved north. This implies year-over-year growth of 31.4%.
Valuation Looks Attractive
Along with an attractive P/B multiple, Blackstone Group has a forward P/E ratio of 9.3 (a P/E ratio under 15.0 and P/B ratio below 3.0 generally indicate value). Moreover, the company has a trailing 12-month ROE of 15.2%, compared with the peer group average of 10.5%. This implies that the company reinvests its earnings more efficiently than its industry peers.
Given the long-term growth projection of 19.6%, the PEG ratio comes in at 0.47, a 53.0% discount to the benchmark of 1 for a fairly priced stock. Therefore, the expected long-term earnings growth is presently priced at a discount.
Blackstone currently enjoys a dividend yield of 2.62%. So, in addition to being a value stock, the company offers a steady income opportunity.
Headquartered in New York, The Blackstone Group LP is an asset manager of alternative investments and a provider of financial advisory services. Founded in 1985, the company has offices in all major countries. The company has a market cap of approximately $6.48 billion. Other Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) asset management firms include AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (AB) and Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (VRTS).

(Nasdaq: MYL) announced today that its subsidiary in India, Mylan Laboratories Ltd., a leading manufacturer of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs, has been selected, through its South African-based subsidiary Mylan (Proprietary) Limited (Mylan Limited), as one of the leading suppliers of ARV drugs to the South African National Department of Health for the tender period January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014.
Mylan Limited secured a R1.12 billion share, which represents 19.1% of the R5.9 billion tender value.

Square Enix role-playing game Final Fantasy IV is now available on iOS. The game launched today in the iTunes store for $16 with compatibility for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
Final Fantasy IV originally launched in 1991 and has since been ported to a range of platforms, including a 2008 polygonal remake for the Nintendo DS. It was the first title to include the franchise's now-familiar Active Time Battle system. Also, this latest version features voice acting.
The iOS version of Final Fantasy IV sports a few system-specific features and alterations including support for Game Center, which allows users to earn achievements and track progress against friends. The game's difficulty level has also been adjusted for "improved playability," Square Enix said.
Final Fantasy IV is not the only franchise entry Square Enix has brought to iOS recently. The company last week launched Theatrhythm Final Fantasy as a free download in iTunes with ten $1-3 expansion packs available.

Poverty, Inequality, Violence, Race and Investment Matter
The Chicago teachers strike has gotten national attention, much of it presuming that the biggest issues are pay and evaluation. But the Chicago Teachers Union has stated that the two sides have been very close on pay.
And union members have no objection to evaluation; they just want a system not so skewed to standardized, high-stakes testing. These tests aren't particularly good ways to measure teacher performance and, even worse, have the perverse effect of forcing teachers to teach kids to take tests rather than to love learning.
But the big issues for these schools and for the teachers aren't talked about because they are officially "off the table." CTU teachers are most concerned about class size, about adequate facilities, about wraparound services from social workers to nurses, about well-rounded curricula including art and music and languages, about early childhood education that helps children come to school ready to learn.
This isn't fancy stuff
One concern is classrooms that reach temperatures of up to 98 degrees in summer; only 29 percent of schools are air-conditioned. Another is about textbooks for the first day of school. Many of Chicago's elementary and middle schools have no safe place for recess, and few have age-appropriate playground equipment. There are 160 elementary schools without a library; 140 are in the poorer South Side of the city. Even though a staggering 80 percent of inner-city teen boys are exposed to violence, 675 schools share about 205 social workers. Schools often must choose between art and music, if they are lucky enough to have either.Too often, Chicago is not providing the basics in public education for its most needy children.
Too often, Chicago is not providing the basics in public education for its most needy children. The CTU published a report detailing these concerns. But under state law, they can't negotiate about them unless their employer agrees - and neither Mayor Rahm Emanuel nor school officials will consent to enter into negotiations about these crucial conditions.
When the teachers strike ends and children return to class, teachers will get the blame for the performance of the students. But they can't negotiate about crushing poverty, broken families and hard streets that impact the hearts, souls and minds of the children they teach. And teachers can't even negotiate about the quality of the facilities and the educational opportunities provided by the schools where they teach.
It's not surprising that teachers react when a contractually agreed 4 percent pay raise is revoked or the school day and school year are lengthened without negotiations. They are frustrated at the lack of respect paid to the needs of the children they teach. And they are bound to be frustrated at the lack of respect paid to their own contracts.
No one likes teachers strikes. But teachers are on the front line. In a time of spreading poverty and rising hunger, with harsh exploitation of the poor by landlords and payday lenders, poor children too often come to impoverished schools.
Teachers take the rap for poor student performance without having the power to change what gets in the way of learning. Grading teachers on the basis of a machine-graded test cannot substitute for schools with playgrounds and social workers, classes with manageable numbers, or roofs that don't leak.
Poverty, inequality, violence, race and investment matter.
They must be a part of any long-term solution.

Hooray for glovebox milestone – and faster computers
It is the Microgravity Science Glovebox and it comes from Europe. And it has now logged 10 000 hours of research in space. But there is no time for a celebration: it is now busy pointing the way to a new generation of speed-of-light computers.
The multipurpose Microgravity Science Glovebox is one of the hard-working science facilities on the International Space Station. Housed in the US Destiny laboratory module, it handle a wide range of ESA and NASA experiments, including fluid physics, materials science, biotechnology and combustion.
At the moment, it is running the SODI-Colloid 2 experiment, which could provide the building blocks for a new generation of speed-of-light computers.
Colloid 2 is using SODI Selectable Optical Diagnostic Instrument to study colloids – liquids with suspended microscopic particles. Milk, paint and aerosols are colloids, for example.
We can build new materials with colloids as the fine particles naturally attract each other: they form bunches and can act in unison, like a single structure.
On Earth, this building process is dominated by gravity. In space, the delicate differences in attraction between the particles are dominant, sometimes leading to strikingly different structures.
SODI-Colloid is focusing on photonic crystals and their special light properties. These nano-structures are highly promising candidates for the future.
A potential product is an optical computer, where electrons are replaced with light. This would make computing literally as fast as light.
Refocusing on nanoparticles
SODI-Colloid ran for the first time in September and October of last year. The results were surprising: the science team did not think they would be able to tune the clustering and crystal-building process so well.
This could allow us to grow a colloidal crystal – an interesting dense material with no holes. To study this further, ESA is now running this second set of experiments.
After Colloid 2, the glovebox's next ESA experiment will centre on complex liquid mixtures. Improving our understanding of the basic characteristics of liquids could lead, for instance, to more efficient oil production.
Quietly celebrating a science machine
The glovebox was the first science rack from ESA aboard the Space Station, delivered by Shuttle in June 2002, and it has seen heavy use in the US module and in ESA's Columbus laboratory. It was located in Columbus for 18 months after Europe's module was delivered in 2008.
The 10 000-hour mark was achieved on 14 September at 12:45 GMT – a record for all research on the Station.
Astronauts typically set up an experiment in the glovebox and then leave it for weeks or even months to run automatically or be controlled from Earth. If necessary, they can intervene to make adjustments.
This automation frees the crew from routine science work and allows them to work on several experiments at the same time.
And, as Colloid 2 highlights, this fundamental research being pursued on the Space Station ultimately feeds through to our daily lives here on Earth.

Hi Bro... totally understand what you are saying. We exchanged e-mails (Francis from Montreal) so you know about the yearly migration to the Cape. During one of those migrations, I stopped at the Wright Brothers memorial museum. The guy there gave a very vibrant and animated speech on timeline of the first flight. He spoke about the guy who developpedthe Engine (I think his name was Taylor). Mr Taylor had an request to develop a light and powerfull engine. In 1903, light was heavy and powerfull (they needed 8hp) wasn't by today's standards. He had no clue what the carburator was doing so he ditched it to save weight. He also used aluminum crankcase as it was lighter. So no sparkplug, no pump (gravity fed), and no carburator...in 1903. In todays words, this is a four cylinder, flat pistons, fuel injection aluminium engine. It took a loooong time before it made it to my dad's car (in the 80's). So Greg Wright, keep ditching what we don't need and keep the concept alive by targetting on the purpose as you started to do. I even started to think about how to launch this kite in a wind gradient when there is nothing on the water and plenty 20-30 feet in the air (cold water does that). reverse lanch is not an option but there are potential solutions. Kite boarders are easily adapting and quite creative sometimes.boardriding maui wrote:The goal is light, fast, fun, range - whatever it is that myself, my family and friends want to ride.
These are interesting points. I realised that no kite will really take of well if you don't touch the bottom below your stated 7-8 knots. But Race kites almost never drop in the water... My Edge is just glued to the sky, even if there is not enough to ride. I have to admit that when I go out in 7-10 knots, the chances for me to have to swim back in are real. So I chose my spots carefully. Of course having struts is a big help when swimming back in: Deflate the LE, roll-up, put it on the board and paddle back to the laghter of your friends who did not bother inflating anything. But the riding objectives seemed to be riding in the waves which is always close to shore. Light wind cruising is also always close to shore for me as our winds are really inconsistant and swimming back is a real possibility (nev er happened as I could always walk back). I put my name in for a 17 and a 10, we will see what SB of my 12-9 and 7 I will keep. But if I want to go for a lake crossing, for safety reasons, the Edge will likely be it. For the fun in the sun, the 10 and the 17 to play with the guys flying heavy 19sronnie wrote:...I'm very interested in a kite that gets to the lightest possible relaunch wind. At the moment I'm thinking of about 7 or 8 knots although I have seen claims of less for LEI's.
...I would prefer to be able to get to the board and if necessary pack down and paddle in on it, so the lower the relaunch wind, the more chance of being able to get back to the board while attached to a downed kite, whether by swimming or relaunching.
I've gone out in winds where I know if I fall, or miss my tack there is a good change my kite will drop...ie if I lose my speed. With the light wind relaunch system I can get the kite in relaunch position before the wind is strong enough to lift the kite. There is quite a lot of surface stiction, and weight in these kites.flipper231 wrote: These are interesting points.

JIVE Up 6% on Q3 Beat; Q4 Rev View in Line
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of enterprise social networking software vendor Jive Software (JIVE) are up 65 cents, or almost 6%, at $11.85, after the company this afternoon reported Q3 revenue and a net loss that narrowly beat estimates, and forecast this quarter's revenue roughly in line with expectations while projecting a deeper-than-expected net loss.
Revenue in the three months ended in September rose 39%, year over year, to $28.9 million, yielding a 9-cent net loss per share.
Analysts had been modeling $28.8 million and an 11-cent loss.
Billingsfor the quarter, on a non-GAAP basis, rose 47% to $38.9 million.
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue in a range of $30 million to $31.5 million, and an adjusted loss of 15 cents to 17 cents a share. Analysts have been modeling a 9-cent loss on $31.2 million in revenue.
Part of the lower profit view is a 3- to 4-cent per share cost for the acquisition of two companies, also announced tonight. The company is buying Meetings.io and Producteev. The former provides for video conferencing through a Web browser, while the latter provides task management software.
Jive competes with companies such as Yammer, the startup that was bought by Microsoft (MSFT) this year, and with social networking products for enterprise from IBM (IBM).

I am developing a commercial app for Ubuntu Software Center. Since it is commercial, I do not want users can simply copy/download the app from somewhere else and put it into PCs without buying it first. This led me to License Key webpage on Ubuntu.com.
As you can see, the description is way too simple. Are there any tutorials or guidelines detailing the best practice in putting licenses to your software in Ubuntu?

I think of apps like ... the Washington Post socially ... for a war of the garden where they had this huge soda burst of ... user activity right and and ... and in a ... deal ... quite frankly I ... you know and and Facebook decided to make some changes I guess ... what I'm countries is is others like you you make the space to ... companies that come on board with you but at the same time they are also very ... willing to change things up ... a pan and ... change on time so how ... how you sort of ... make that pitch that you know where to work in Vienna for the long haul ... with these companies are willing to go on for ... we don't always get a read ... I'm for sure ... with that you relatively large team of people in my organization to ... our dedicated to spending time with photos from our developers ... to make sure that we try to write as much insight into where the plot ... is gone but ... at its core are ... overly striving to do is ... find that ... perfect equilibrium ... between ... a great user experience it and ... creating value for developers to that though continue to pass up on the way we do that as we listened to ... the signal we get from people on Facebook ... when asked whether the content that are seen as valuable or not with a quick indices Spaniard this is hiding a person or are marking something as spam on this is a negative signal ... a positive signal is commenting liking ... Reacher and clicking on the link itself all of this things get factored into our heart rhythm ... sometimes ... we yet you know we fall behind ... I don't hear the user signal fast enough ... to keep that equilibrium and place them in half to kind of ... turn the dial but harder to get it back to partially correct in that began in this case is you know ... we work closely with our partners to make sure that when they understand wire making the changes making it the ended the day ... anybody is building on our platform ... he wants ... more than anything else for this to be a long-term sustainable ... platform ... for ... partners they want people to continue using Facebook ... because that's going to really create value ... in the world for the next you know twenty thirty forty years ... anyway we did as if we keep Eesti interest in printers on people when they tell us ... what they're seeing isn't as valuable so that's that's the bounce for a which struck a difference to me that a man I hear from people that know about this but the talk about Facebook and ... the user experience team to trump ... pretty much everything from ... so it's it's kind of like ... is it sick and that he ... didn't get to convince your partners that they need to create non stuff for non standards ... in order that you know ... to sustain hair or you know yet if there's one if as ... I developers says what's the one thing I should focus on ... the answer is simple which is critically ... ill and then our job is to really on a cot ... in the summing that were starting to spend a lot more time ... focusing on especially with respect to media ... content which really ... deserves to be honored in an perspective in the nice pizza one thing just getting example ... recently we increase the size of the ... photos from ... news sites in India partner in the ratio or werent there all that way opinion in which is awesome right that's what you want as a user ... and as a partner that's certainly a much better ... experience for your content here ... you know if your purse ... in your sharing ... images from your friends are friends you for sharing images from Esquire that image needs to really be ... large Saturday captures the full essence of the plan ... rather than a little thumbnail that somebody can click on to to to go ... at ... it happens in the case that with this larger images people actually click more often ... we saw over fifty percent increase in click swinging only increase the size of the images so that it's a win-win for the partner ... it doesn't much better job of honoring their cars ... and for users it's ... more in gauging and actually end up going outside ... so ... me and photos are obviously ... did you guys ... essentially you have said to ... help your partner the one thing this is the sort of stuff thinking that we're seeing ... gets worn digital gets more sort of like ... this is probably was going to a PG veteran and we try to do that can best practices just as stocks this year he runs are ... partnership team and ... he has been a few dozen people that work closely with folks ... on him best practices learning from other ... developers have done things that work also trying that again provide insight into the system where we're trying to go with it and ... what changes or will be making them how to respond to changes cetera but ... that's one of things that we really pride ourselves on is ... having a large team that works closely with ... our partners ... one-on-one ... to make sure that we are doing our best to be a good spot our limited partners ... because that's not something you haven't heard for what has to make ... bake ... in a few harsh leader few sharply corrected developers are reading these other companies are just like our garden and suddenly the traffic light ... tanks in the tube you credit for it absolutely and and again I may say we don't always get it right ... aam you know ... a few years ago we were trying to manage the challenge of user feedback around games content in her in the feed ... aam a lot of people complain that they were seen too much FarmVille Healy took us awhile to find the right balance their debt the kid is is me we think we did find the right balance to the point where now ... im working for never playing games on Facebook over to under fifty million people monthly gains ... an interesting test case but it but the people that don't play games to finish that story and ... don't complain because are not seen a lot of stuff from you that if you expand your that is relevant and so ... it took us awhile the kind of find an equilibrium between dead ... and aam you know we've worked closely with our developers along the way and now we've got you know ... are really thriving ecosystem developers is more diverse than it's ever been we have ... on more charter as game genres we have ... aam were people playing games and spending money on games last year it paid out two billion dollars for developers ... I just on our desktop campus teams up which is ... you know ... Apple announced I think that that that about three billion ILS developers and have a few thousand versus seven hundred thousand so ... again we don't always get a rifle we really try hard to ... find an equilibrium where we're creating value ... for developers while the same time ... Korean platform people want to come back to first ... busy busy you fall into the category of not only kidding ... you know I ... think that ... we watched them feel he has filed to go public he should sit and ... make a significant amount of derivatives for it and then ... honestly ... both of you ... have parted ways you guys were willing to walk away from ... you know hundreds of names of dollars that they were they were ... putting into ... your revenues ... is that ... you know why why data on what does that say ... about new willingness to do that with other money making properties that meet you ... what I think we've locked away from saying on taxing is still our largest developer camps for ... on a bill that very large and robust business ... on Facebook ... aam there now really looking to diversify their business into mobile which is obviously the growth ... aam states for games and ... by the way we're doing the same thing we spent last year ... really have any hard into mobile becoming a mobile company ... I'm sure a lot more about that ... um but ... but you know we still we still spend a lot of time listening to their very close are there for good partner ... and aam you we have a very large business ... trip ... okay so ... it gained you have the traditional media apps things like what I mean ... one of the apps you know where to go every summer in a scene explode on Facebook and this coming we stop ... the Breeders' index experimented with it and work out ... like what I mean ... what's next is actually ... well this is this is the exciting things out ... Facebook had its ninth ... anniversary last week ever ... thank you very much ...

Friday we we we have ... many more developer succeeding on the property than ever before ... I we are seeing tremendous ... traction in Make or gains from companies like kicks I ... may look to Europe liking have just ... come out of nowhere ... don't really great publisher games and so on ... aam ... but following games the question was ... does this work training ups ... well we did after that is watch the like button and the next category I would say that really took off was news ... to come with a light on a lot of the new site to implement the like button and started to see a tremendous amount of traffic ... off this coming from Facebook through people like in our clothes on the New Times are ... Wall Street Journal etc turret and I'm ... and that was for the story of a two thousand and eleven ... on last year we saw was the emergence of social music companies like spot if I and these are really transform the music industry it by taking the Facebook platform in Korean a file fundamentally social experience around music ... aam and and makes sense because music is such a social experience anyway that's how we discover new music new bands songs ... from our friends from the people around us now on Sunday to do that ... XK online ... that Facebook was really a big part of that ... the two thousand and thirteen two thousand and thirteen we think ... is can it be the year of movies books ... fitness those are categories that were really excited about so as an example ... of Netflix actually spend a lot of time getting a lot changed ... in the U S to make it possible to do something that I think a lot of people wanted ... which is when you're watching movies on Netflix ... be able to share the pack your friends on Facebook began how do we make choices about what ... movies or TV shows to watch ... so often it's the people that we work with for the people that we ... are friends with the say hey have you when you watch town Abby that's how I discovered on the ... parade was seen people ... use the pristine about it ... um ... did you did that cemetery outside the U S Lewis when you're talking about ... and that Memphis because you can use outside the U S ... based areas outside the U S laws are different there and are starting to see some traction ... Audi sedan much bigger business in the U S has a much more potential it will all get to feel he'll get to play that Mitt on ... notebooks is an interesting category when you read a book you're investing ... what five to ten hours of your life that's a huge investment much more than the cost the book is that I'm spending on it and I'm ... so before we open the book we wanna make sure that that's can it be a good use for ... most of us ... do that by asking the people around this the people we trust ... hey what books you've read recently what what he think I would like you not smart Acer you know what ... how how well can suffer like ... book reads is actually becoming very popular app on Facebook ... for people to feel that the that ... I am today that it ... signed in June Shale was ... granted yet ... sure the books you've read and then integrate with case for consumers but your friends are Brad and how they paraded them and so on ... aam and and again keep in mind these are things that are foundational to our identity ... so in addition to one and published in ten years in the movies to watch the books I've read ... I also want that stuff on my timeline I wanted to be there ... when you and I knew for the first time ... the equivalent of the digital part Keywell and you wanna learn something about me ... away the Laguna might timeline and see the things they report and some other things are important me ... are the movies I love ... the books I've ... I've been reading and how you know what when a light ... on ... this is kind of an interesting one this is all mention it to say that it ... gets different structures to medium I think it it sort of shows the way ... to a lot of other things in the future and I think are gonna be ... interesting categories for social ... aam ... but the girl on mobile was that works well in mobile are ... certainly mobile first there's no question because what you need for fitness to really work continue to have ... you know your device with us are going for light reds are going for high ... so they can track the route that ... you can then share that with your friends ... and in a couple interesting things that they can do Nike Plus does this really well they can actually comment while you're either on ... your here that three that from ... your friends are cherry on retaining its common ... use case ... um ... you they can then you know learn about the routes that you go on and they can maybe get on that drops off that they're looking for five mile run the CD he did something up in the city that I wanna live there so maybe that's the route can take or maybe they want to join you for working on ... so those kinds of things that you know we think are really interesting you use cases that were never possible before ... better being unlocked with ... with this combination of social and ... in you are willing to make it ... it seems like you're willing to tweak ... timeline is well written so relate to prominence in the way these things show up so late ... to find a publisher if I'm ... many companies in China ... essentially what my application is the ... front and center ... in time right with its state of use cases that is that something you guys are ... tweaking our experimental college Lauro is tweaking an experiment ... as you know but again ... the high-level principle is for trying to find the right balance between a great user experience ... which we know by the signals we get from users ... and creating value for our partners ... three the traffic that were able to send them and by honoring their content for free with a sigh ... and so yes I'm I'm looking to you all Newsfeed will continue all week just launch Graph Search Katsidis in its infancy will continue to push their ... experience on desktop and experience on mobile will continue to evolve ... taking advantage and in particular a mobile taken advantage of some the things you can do ... on a desktop computer ... we talk about it is going for mobile first in twenty twelve ... to mobile apps in twenty thirty ... which means really creating experiences on the mobile device ... that just simply can't be replicated on what it what it what it would affect me make that seems really are what what what kind of fun ... just one small example we watched out last month ... a feature called nearby ... which are near Moe on is simply a way for you to ... search for ... small businesses and near where you are right now raising the need to be able to tell ... the service where you are that is what you can do from here ... and then look at the restaurants or bars ... and that your friends have ... checked into you were a blight ... on its kind you see this Social filter on ... on the things around and that's just a baby step in that direction so many things are unlocked ... on mobile one of things it's called on Facebook is Facebook is a mobile product and in ... even before or smartphones ... you are really ... for live proliferated ... it's always been and a mobile product in the sense that you know bring your computer with you to wedding a restaurant or party ... those are the places you want to be ... able to post Facebook ... aam and and frankly the ways that you want to consume Facebook a lot of people consume it ... in these bite size ... you know in comments when they have a few minutes to spare which is usually not when you're sitting that ... and so are the product is or if animal product for us it's been a matter of becoming ... catching up to that becoming a mobile company that's really what started ... last year will continue ... into the future ... so the bulls are painted questions were answered this question ... when Apple it without Graf surgeon and ... if the broader theme of discovery I think that ... you know it's good to ... have all these ... partners come in and build for ... the platform but ... it's the same sort of problem that Apple has it ...

I think that from a discovery perspective there's a really interesting thing happening on mobile devices now their seven hundred thousand applications in ... the iOS Apps Read about the same number of me if you look at last in the queue Coupland store ... aam what we're hearing from developers is their biggest ... challenge is getting discover that I do freak out and lights and one other things that we've been unloved is really provide a platform ... for discovery and mobile applications ... aam ... there is a study done by Konsker recently in the U S twenty three percent of time spent on mobile devices is on Facebook ... twenty three percent ... and I went the other top apps was its brand which is another three percent was really stress ... now ... what we've done is we've ... made so that he didn't agree with Facebook a new mobile application two hundred thousand of the seven thousand integrate with us ... people can share ... their experience in your mobile app on Facebook with their friends ... and when that story shows up in the speed of sound effects time they go in and download the application ... and three that we've now become a really big source of traffic to mobile applications the sun hundred needy billion clicks ... to the Apple iTunes store Google Play store ... it's the last two written our ... business offer this if you want to accelerate the kind of distribution ... you can buy ads in the speed ... on weak on a mobile app install apps and ... aam and all the sudden you know ... we've always talked about four categories of advertisers ... that really work for ... brands direct response advertisers local businesses and developers but that fourth one ... is becoming a much bigger category because all the sudden ... for seven hundred thousand developers that have the potential to really take advantage ... of or ... a members only Guinea continue to grow in the definition of a doubt that the developer ... is anyone with an application ... so why ... would I buy ... an iPad and like the reall ... purses and add a link a mobile applications will ... likely how do you know I determine what what's the best thing for me to actually purchase ... well we we have a ... new robust analytics package that helps advertisers understand her ... return on investment to click through rates and what's working what's not working but ... that certainly for mobile on ... for mobile advertisers there is no rail ... and a aam and and that's actually an advantage because what what happens on a mobile devices when the ad shows up it takes up virtually the entire screen it ... it's actually you know ... he's talking the old days of the Web as New homepage takeovers and paste but never went there we never did that ... aam but on mobile when your ad appears it's you know it's essentially the entire screen is filled with pizza content ... I'm and that worked for a rally or thing is people to spend so much time in the heat ... aam ... it's amazing we have ... a statistic that ... with six hundred eighty million of the billion people that we have on Facebook users on their mobile device every month ... and of those ... if you're using Facebook on mobile devices come back to the site on average seventy percent of those people cannot ever seen ... seventy percent ... on desktop ... its forty first ... so we've got Facebook with you all the time ... you're doing what I said earlier you're checking in between meetings or check in and when you're waiting for somebody or check in and when you're waiting for table in a restaurant ... and you're just using all the time and that that he becomes almost like an infinite scroll ... and for partners that just a tremendous opportunity it opens up all of this inventory ... for your content to be discovered ... for people to find out about things I'm ... thankful ... to have any ... questions from the audience ... it is ... by Jason from advertising each home ... here's what you think Facebook's role is in the TV ecosystem um this op order by Putin last week ... um ... which ... sort of to help them solidified out there their role as second screen ... aam ask because you know that conversation took last year with ESPN executives he said ... you know Facebook doesn't move for a dames ... Porter could it be the implication that order that ... aam so so what space Patrol and to um ... thanks ... Kath ... thanks for asking that I'm ... you know you first off this blog is certainly a second screen and the way that people are in gauging the TV content today there's no question about it ... aam we had ... fifty four million mentions ... of ... Super Bowl related activity during the Super Bowl we had something like twenty million mentions of Grammy related activity the other day ... um ... we are I know people are on Facebook while they're watching TV there asked on Twitter and other platforms as well ... it recently Instagram is actually becoming ... second screen as well for TV a lot of celebrities it's right now ... aam hashtag is in Amsterdam ... as much as it is Twitter ... but just ... to get out into the future as I think today is primarily being used in that way I think the interesting exciting ... vision for TV in the future ... as I'm ... you heard it earlier in last night was terrific ... talk about the future TV and when things he didn't touch on was ... the way that we watch TV is by turning on ... the screen and scenic River ... aam channel sometimes ... I'm that's the way that people have been a largely navigate TV for a long time ... the reality is is that most of us choose what to watch ... based on shares of Air France all this ... Ray and Aunt Anne Lester early mention which is fine in the least objectionable content ... in the career ... aam was the best cheese based on the fact that some he said he really I watch ... this episode of sixty minutes or I just relaxing Down Abbey ... I'm you know you you you really like it ... aam and and that's the primary discovery mechanism in the real world for how you watch TV imagine a world in the future ... this is something that we would love to work with the industry around women talk and lots of folks including Charlie and Sam Schwartz is here Comcast others ... about the possibility of its ... return on your TV ... or maybe it's a second screen he is to do this ... and what you're seeing is a feed of all of that shows your friends and watched ... and how they've treated the shows ... and I and and you're making decisions based on that rather than its based on the grid not or how many years out of the future that will be ... but that's a vision that we think is a really exciting and compelling vision ... for TV ... again Facebook's role is to power Discover ... we're not that media platform for consumption ... but we think we can play a big role in this country because we think most discovering the world ... is and always has been so ... it's ... for her from trying to ALM ... so that answers allotment by cementing ... taking taking in that time ... video as a whole France's TV set and the experience but you know there's ... this wave of online regional production is happening in the ... face of the complaints that really drives you ... to YouTube ... what are the thoughts of doubt ... developing on Facebook for ... more of that ... it's been experience on Facebook verses ... somewhere else like you to ... aam he does things where developers like ... a million I have ... yet at least we can watch that man ... but is there any else that can happen there you see on Facebook that makes ... video more endemic onto the platform ... source is ... using basically it would have it but you know five people in this room are ... huge you ... channels and they need more views and Facebook in place that but ... you know ... what are the other plans ... OE ... of the ... car is very open it's very sensible and we encourage experimentation ... you know and we we love to see companies trying new things ... I'm not not everything works but we think that's the way that you discover new new bands of opportunity ... the reality is what we've seen so far he says people don't necessarily want to sit ... and watch it you are moving on Facebook ... on and so ... that's ok ... because really that that the fundamental role that we provide ... is on the ability for someone like an appliques day ... when some new art center the application to use all the personal information about their ... identity and her friends ... to create a more relevant ... experience on Netflix and then we can ... allow them to share their ... viewing activity back to Facebook ... to show up in these Steve become a discovery platform ... for new content that their friends are ... indeed become interested ... and when that happens that the primary his case today is that ... we somehow traffic back to Netflix for the consumption happen ... in their experience for people more comfortable ... it's ... yes it's that Rebecca from Greenland ... where can create a FBX Park and ... Annie's been really happy with the partnership so far they've ever since launch we haven't heard much about how you guys are viewing things internally said to me talk alot about ... sure the demand side and a new buyer perspective and performing since March ... sure ... I'm ... thank you for having a partner and that if they SPX is the Facebook Exchange is a new ... capability that we added to our advertising platform recently ... um I I can share any specific numbers with you ... but suffice to say that that's you know they're very much a core part or advertising ... or going forward ... only one in a day on the ad stack we want to continue to add capabilities ... in the Facebook Exchange has been a really important new capability for us that a lot of advertisers are taking advantage of ... and I'm getting terrific results from Oak leaves ... you've seen at herself Yeshua continued bets ... and when to ... do here is a bargain before ... the demand for them and just about how ... you are talking about ... it being one of the primary second screen ... in subtle ways people I knew ... how to you guys meaning I was Facebook a certain influence how ... if you get the direction and instead go ... to economically Kevin ... Seaman an in house for little while ... and again but well you know it away in a desperate and so ... you know me I made my ... way ... well so we bought Instagram last year and I'm ... when the time since I we acquired them the crown from the roughly thirty million ... on active users to now they have ninety ... active users which is just incredible growth ... I'm and that and that short period time ... I'd ... I mentioned hashtags earlier that this ... this storm every weekend and in the Northeast ... aam was hashtag mean on Instagram ... and other or six hundred thousand mentions on Sunday ... on Instagram hashtag unit in your times that ... critical piece on and white tea ... store ... hashtag NYT store ... ALM that was all images from Instagram people attack that way ... from the storm so ... aam is RIM is the isthe platform unto itself Kevin ... and his team have ... done a treat the job ... reading that ... and basically you know what we did is he said but this is ... this is something that Tom is working extremely well people are resonating with it now ... it's a different use case for Facebook we wanted to continue to grow ... and succeed in we wanna make sure that that team ... has the freedom to continue to develop in the direction that they believe is the right direction so they they are ... with us on campus but they very much run ... as if they were still ... in the panic Company ... from the perspective of being able to really develop their product in the direction they believe is can ... maximize that the growth opportunity ... my ... he paid ... seventeen dollars for me out of some sort of like influence and steering ... steer your way towards my face well we wanna help right eye and said for example one of the challenges that Kevin has his small team ... and I'm a lot of people call call them a lot of celebrities and public figures want to ... be honest renters of the audience they're right and so ... for example one of the things that we've done is really help them manage this relationship SCA's Johnson again I mentioned earlier ... he's got a team of five or six people who just work with public figures for their Facebook presence now they can ... also help them with their Instagram presents as well ... aam and so ... you know what will be hopeful they can in whatever ways we can with the left with the resources ... that we haven't at Facebook ... to related continue to help them grow their business ... you know long-term there ... I'm doing something very similar to what we did a face but they're focusing on user experience and they're focusing on growth ... and are focusing on I'm killing the best possible product they can ... that's ... they believe that's the way to maximize the value of that business long-term ... and ... we certainly can argue that is very similar to what we did its ... bit ... last question ... Mori and Mark Ellen CTA ... I'm curious ... is Facebook a site which at categories he speaks for itself ...

The FA Cup Final will bring the curtain down on another thrilling domestic season in English football this weekend, with Arsenal looking to engrave their name on the famous trophy for the second year running. Aston Villa, who struggled through a difficult Premier League campaign before their late revival under manager Tim Sherwood, stand in the way of a 12th FA Cup final victory for the Gunners.
Given the comparative league positions of the two teams and Arsenal's excellent recent FA Cup record, it's unsurprising that Arsene Wenger's side are strong favourites to lift the trophy at 3/10 with Bet365 Sports at time of writing.
Villa to win is available at 11/4, which may seem generous, given their impressive semi-final victory over Liverpool. However, the West Midlands side's league form dipped once again after their safety from relegation was assured (a 6-1 defeat at Southampton was particularly damaging), and it remains to be seen whether Sherwood's combative managerial style can deliver long-term improvement at the underachieving club.
The FA Cup Final goalscorer markets may provide more value, with Christian Benteke an appealing 7/1 at William Hill Sports to score first at Wembley. The Belgian striker played a key role in Villa's resurgence after Sherwood was appointed in February, scoring 12 goals in the last 12 games of the season. Elsewhere, in the first goalscorer market, William Hill Sports offers 11/2 on Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey – who provided the extra-time winner against Hull City in last year's FA Cup final – and 7/1 on Theo Walcott. The England star netted a hat-trick against West Bromwich Albion on the final day of the Premier League season, but is not guaranteed a place in Wenger's starting line-up for the final.
Alexis Sanchez, who already has three goals for Arsenal in the FA Cup this season, is 21/20 to score at any time in the final at William Hill Sports. In the same market, Benteke is priced at 2/1 and Villa's Fabian Delph, who scored a superb winner against Liverpool in the semi-final, can be backed at 5/1.
When it comes to predicting the score, keen FA Cup historians will note that five of the last eight finals have finished with a 1-0 scoreline. At Coral Sports, that outcome is priced at 11/2 in Arsenal's favour and at 18/1 for Aston Villa. Under 1.5 goals in total is also available at 3/1, but those who expect the final to follow a similar pattern to last year's match – Arsenal were 2-0 down with eight minutes played and came back to win 3-2 after extra time – can get 11/2 on over 4.5 goals.
On their route to the final, Villa won three of their five games 2-1 (against Bournemouth, Leicester City and Liverpool). Sherwood's side are 22/1 with Coral Sports to record that result again on Saturday. Arsenal won 2-1 in two previous rounds to reach the final (in their quarter-final against Manchester United and against Reading after extra time in the semi-final), and 15/2 is the price at Coral Sports for another 2-1 scoreline in favour of the Gunners.
For punters who expect Arsenal to clinch the FA cup in extra time once more this weekend, William Hill Sports has odds of 8/1 (with Villa 22/1 to do the same). Both sides are 12/1 to win on penalties – an intriguing prospect, given that the winner has not been decided from the spot since the classic final of 2006, when a pulsating encounter between Liverpool and West Ham United finished 3-3 and Rafa Benitez's side clinched it on penalties. In 2005, Arsenal won a penalty shootout against Manchester United to lift the trophy after the final finished goalless.
