Sarcopenia is the process of loss of body mass, specifically the musculoskeletal tissue, with age, which ultimately leads to a syndrome of clinical entity poorly defined as frailty. It is probably as old as humanity itself. Functionally, frailty is described as a syndrome characterized by a progressive decrease in the body's reserve and declining resistance to stressors, possibly because of declining capacity of multiple physiologic systems resulting in higher vulnerability morbidity and mortality. Ayurveda also mentions morbidity occurring with advancing age and various options for its management. Elixirs are recommended in Ayurveda, popularly called 'rasayana', for recovery from the symptoms of frailty. Worldwide, because of the wide demographic profile, the process of ageing exerts its effects on geriatric populations at different ages. Europeans were the first to paraphrase the word frailty for the ageing process. With better medical care and nutrition, a substantial subset of populations survives longer than 60 years or longer worldwide. The most relevant aspect of the recognition of syndrome of frailty is that the process is, to some extent, reversible, provided that adequate attention is paid and a timely intervention is performed for the needy subset of population, which is likely to improve the quality of life markedly, besides resulting in an increased life span.

FUJIFILM Corporation (President and CEO: Shigetaka Komori) and Inca Digital Printers today unveil the Inca Onset S40i flatbed UV inkjet printer. The new printer supercedes the Inca Onset S40 and includes many new intelligent features that increase productivity and reliability.
Supplied by Fujifilm, Inca's exclusive global distribution partner, the new Inca Onset S40i is being shown publicly for the first time worldwide on the Fujifilm stand in Hall 8b at drupa 2012.
The Inca Onset S40i, like the Onset S40, meets the high-volume, fast-turnaround production needs of specialist display print companies, using 168 new-generation, user-replaceable printheads (28 per colour) on a full width print array delivering a 28 picolitre drop size. Key new features of this latest Onset family member include:
Reduced bed masking: A new 15-zone vacuum table reduces bed masking requirements for substrates thinner than 3mm. This reduces setup times and increases overall machine productivity.
Innovative UV sensor system: Printheads need regular maintenance but this varies depending on the type of substrates used and the volume of work produced. The Onset S40i's auto sensor system constantly monitors the machine condition and informs the operator when automatic cleaning is required.
Sophisticated substrate height detector: Sensitive mechanical substrate height detectors deliver accuracy and reliability to provide enhanced substrate and printhead protection.
In addition, a new Fujifilm Uvijet ink system has also been launched providing improved adhesion and finishing properties. Combined with Inca's advanced software and the high precision ink drop placement of the Fujifilm Dimatix printheads, the end result is superb 600 dpi print quality with the option of four or six colours. With these enhancements across hardware, software and consumables, Fujifilm and Inca are able to prove that making an investment in the Inca Onset S40i will pay for itself in just six months, while providing unmatched quality and productivity.
The Inca Onset S40i produces superb POS-quality display graphics economically at throughput speeds of up to 470 sqm/hr, equivalent to 94 full bed sheets/hr (3.14 x 1.6m) and onto substrates up to 50mm (2 in) thick. A choice of uni-directional, bi-directional and super high quality print modes can be selected depending on the specific job requirements. As a result, it is ideal for the production of single and double-sided display POS, exhibition graphics, backlit/frontlit displays, outdoor signage printing and cosmetic/fashion graphics etc. The Onset S40i is compatible with Inca's flexible automation system which offers customers the choice to operate manually or with semi or three-quarter automation from the same configuration. For those requiring the ability to incorporate variable data printing as simply as possible, the Onset S40i also supports Inca's Print Run Controller (PRC) software module.
"The Inca Onset S40i incorporates several significant new features that combine to increase overall machine uptime and print quality," says Heather Kendle, Inca Digital director of marketing. "Companies invest in Onsets for their high volume production capabilities and we continually evaluate new features that can make life easier by simplifying maintenance, maximising throughput, and reducing costs."
"We continue to work closely with Inca Digital to ensure that the customer's needs take priority," comments Tudor Morgan, group marketing manager, wide format at Fujifilm. "The new features added to the Onset S40i are another huge step in increasing the efficiency of what are already the most productive UV inkjet flatbeds in the market today, and we look forward to demonstrating the capabilities of this model on our stand at drupa 2012."
There are 18 different configurations available in the Inca Onset range, offering a choice of productivity levels and ink options. This enables companies to pick the right model, at the best price, performance and, therefore, return on investment (ROI) for their business.
The Inca Onset S40i is commercially available from Q2 2012.

At $999, the XF 16mm f/1.4 is not an easy buy for many photographers, but it offers ample value to those with the funds to make it happen. We were a bit let down by the lack of edge sharpness at wider apertures, but the image quality elsewhere is so good that it easily makes up for it.
Fast, f/1.4 max aperture, Superior build quality, Weather resistant, Very low distortion, Great value
Vignetting, soft edges at wide apertures, Intermittent autofocus errors
Still despite those shortcomings the Fujinon XF 16 mm f/1.4 R WR should be assessed positively. It provides useful images already from the maximum relative aperture, gives you a high resolution level on stopping down and it corrects geometric deformations noticeably better than its rivals; what's...
too high longitudinal chromatic aberration,, distinct vignetting,, significant coma,, some problems with spherical aberration.
This lens is certainly capable of delivering excellent quality images. When you consider the robust build, weather resistant construction and excellent handling of this lens, the £730 price seems very reasonable indeed.
Very good sharpness in the centre at maximum aperture, Excellent sharpness across the frame when stopped down, Relatively lightweight, Traditional design, Excellent build, Weather resistant
Only fairly good sharpness towards the edges at maximum aperture
Since the launch of Micro Four Thirds by Olympus and Panasonic in 2008, every other major camera manufacturer has come up with its own mirrorless camera system. With this proliferation of new mounts for compact system cameras, though, comes a need for new lens ranges to match.
My review won't give you information you couldn't find in others, but I still feel the need to share my excitement. All the tech stuff has been explained by others, and better than I could.
The aperture ring of the lens I received did not work correctly. It would randomly jump into automatic mode when selecting different apertures. Optically the lens produced beautiful images. However, the lack of consistent aperture control requires that I return this lens.
I used it in an outdoor shoot of small boats in a harbor and was impressed with the image quality. Even when up close, the angle was wide enough to capture the entire boat. If you're not used to a wide angle lens, then you'll be surprised to learn that you have to get up very close to the subject to...
I am really enjoying the close focusing capabilities with this lens. Once you get your mind wrapped around the possibilities, opportunities to capture amazing images anywhere. Super fun and incredible image quality.
Wow, you have to have this lens.
This Fuji prime is one of the best lenses I own, if not the best. It has remarkable clarity and definition. For me this 16 mm is an ideal wide angle landscape lens when the situation requires it. There is minimal if any corner distortion, even wide open. Mounted on the XT-2, it gives a nice balance.
Sharp images. Just don't take pictures with the lens hood on. You'll get a circle in your image
Fast, light and really sharp. A great addition to my Fuji setup.
This is an astonishing lens from Fuji's stable. The sharness even wide open at 1.4/ 1.8 is mind boggling (imagine saying that for a 16mm), fall off is very manageable and there is hardly any distortion (I don't know if Fuji is correcting it digitally, but its not there in the RAW file and that's all...
This lens is solid, if you want a wide lens, this is your pick. However, if I were to do it again, for travel photography -- I would just get the 18 + 23 f/2 primes because of size/weight.

Minnesota Vikings 2015 NFL draft picks, order, selections
The Minnesota Vikings have seven selections in the 2015 NFL draft, including the 10th overall pick.
Minnesota finished 7-9 in 2014 and played most of the season without Pro Bowl running back Adrian Peterson, who was put on the commissioner's exempt list after being charged with hitting his son with a switch. He was later suspended after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor.
During the first round of the 2014 draft, the team selected linebacker Anthony Barr and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who started 12 games for the team last year.
In the offseason, the team's big move was trading for wide receiver Mike Wallace.
Below are the selections Minnesota has in the draft:
Round 1, Pick 11 (11th overall)
Round 2, Pick 13 (45th overall)
Round 3, Pick 12 (76th overall)
Round 4, Pick 11 (110th overall)
Round 5, Pick 1 (137th overall)
Round 7, Pick 11 (228th overall)
Round 7, Pick 15 (232th overall)

Follow us
The waterfalls, streams and creeks scattered throughout the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. Before moving to Portland, I never photographed landscape scenes, focusing exclusively on urban and architectural subjects. When I stood in front of my first waterfall, shortly before moving to Portland, I instantly fell in love with the grandeur and beauty of this particular type of nature.
Best Time To Visit
Tourists typically visit Portland and the Columbia River Gorge, which is a short 30-40 minute drive outside of the city, during the late spring and summer months, when the overcast, grey and rainy skies go away and leave us with an insanely lush and verdant forested landscape. However, while the weather may be agreeable, it also results in throngs of people overcrowding these areas, often making it extremely difficult to get to your intended destination.
I prefer visiting the gorge area during the autumn and winter months, during the week and while it's raining. Aside from the great reduction in tourists, I find that the overcast skies allow me to really bring out the greens of the lichen and surrounding trees, especially when using a circular polarizer. Another bonus of having overcast skies is that I don't have to worry about hard shadows or overly bright sunlight as the light is diffused and soft.
Town of Arrival
If you are flying in, you will want to select PDX as your airport. From the airport you can reach the entrance of the Gorge in about 45 minutes by taking I-84 eastbound towards Troutdale.
Favorite Location While Visiting
I am a big fan of Ruckel Creek Falls. It's not the most famous or largest waterfall in the area but it offers a wonderful variety of subjects to photograph and the trail leading away from the upper falls offers a fabulous hike.
Physical Activity Needed
One of the great things about the waterfalls within the Columbia River Gorge is the variety of effort offered to visitors. Some waterfalls are located within a stone's throw from the paved parking area. Other waterfalls require a mild-to-moderate hike. Finally, there are waterfalls that take several hours to hike to and require you to be in moderate-to-good shape. Regardless, you need to wear good hiking shoes and pack layers as the air tends to cool off the closer you approach the falls. You also need to pack a few microfiber cloths because your lens will definitely get coated with spray the closer you get.
There is a good number of waterfalls in the area which are fairly accessible and offer paved paths for wheelchair access. With that said, keep in mind that these paths may be at an incline or decline, so some effort will be required. Other waterfalls will require hiking to get to and the distance can range dramatically depending on the destination.
Area's Favorite location
The most popular attraction by far is Multnomah Falls. In addition to being celebrated as Oregon's tallest waterfall, it is also adorned with the very picturesque Benson Footbridge. Multnomah Falls has the largest parking area in the Gorge but if you plan on visiting during the weekend and/or when the weather is nice, prepare for a massive wait to park. You will also be joined by tons of other tourists, so keep in mind that maneuvering with your camera and tripod may be challenging. Still, if you have never seen this waterfall, I highly recommend you carve some time to.
Besides Photography
You can choose to partake in some of Oregon's famous microbreweries, artisanal coffee roasters and its charming wine region. Additionally, Portland is renowned for its food culture, so I strongly recommend exploring the plethora of fabulous restaurants in the area. I'm a huge fan of Dove Vivi pizza in NE Portland and Bamboo Sushi in SE Portland.
Exciting Discoveries
Ok, this is more of an exciting food discovery than a photo discovery but it's worth sharing. In all of my years eating hamburgers, I never considered adding peanut butter as a topping. Little did I know what I was missing. If you have time, be sure to swing by Killer Burger and get their Peanut Butter Pickle Bacon burger. Thank me later.
Do Not Miss
One of the most serene memories I have is watching the sunrise over Mt. Hood while standing at the foot of Trillium Lake. That scene has been carved into my mind and anytime I need to calm down, I remember what it was like to be there.
Best Advice
It is no coincidence that Oregon's State abbreviation, OR, is found in the word 'Explore.' While visiting this magical place, keep your mind open and allow yourself to discover new things. Before visiting Oregon for the first time, I never thought I'd be into landscape photography. I had never camped a day in my life. Now, I don't know what I'd do without it.

I made a good decision before I went to bed last night. I looked at the weather forecast and decided that a day in at home would be a really good idea. A bit of rain doesn't bother me in the slightest.
But rain + crowds = no no no!
And anyone out for the day certainly wasn't going to find time to visit the market either, so I have been busy sorting photos whilst half-watching the Queen's flotilla doobrey on TV.
What a grey and wet day it turned out to be. By 5.30pm poor Liz and her immediates were the only ones left on the top deck watching the boats go by; all the others having scarpered to the warm and dry of the lower decks.
The aerial shots of the boats, especially the man-powered (rowed) boats looked great but I must admit I'd expected the flotilla to be more jam-packed and was a bit disappointed by how sparse it all looked. One thousand boats isn't really a lot when spread out over such a long stretch. Perhaps I was expecting so many boats that you could run across them from one side to the other... now that would have been worth seeing! And it could be a new Olympic sport!
Whilst watching the narrow boats I was reminded of a similar trip I took in the opposite direction. We had better weather for it too.
Here's an account by someone who was there.
And here are some pictures taken along the Thames on nicer days:
3 June 2012
Never mind Liz...

The winter solstice has always been special to me as a barren darkness that gives birth to a verdant future beyond imagination, a time of pain and withdrawal that produces something joyfully inconceivable, like a monarch butterfly masterfully extracting itself from the confines of its cocoon, bursting forth into unexpected glory. – Gary Zukav
It's now officially winter, but even now there are steps you can take to improve your fields for the spring season.
- Attend educational programs – The Cornell Turf Team presents at numerous events during the winter months. Check our Facebook events pages for events near you. NYS IPM Program staff presentations can be found here. Your local BOCES also offers seminars. Don't hesitate to give them suggestions for topics you are interested in learning more about. Can't find a presentation near you? Check out the Cornell Turfgrass sports turf resources. You don't need to dedicate much time out of each day on the website to greatly increase your turf management knowledge.
- Check out the Field Management Schedules at http://safesportsfields.cals.cornell.edu/schedules. On deck: dormant overseeding. These schedules can also help you in developing (and defending) your budget.
- Conduct site assessments for each field to direct resources (products, equipment, labor) to areas with greatest need. While you won't be able to rate turf color or feel of ground, you can assess bare spots and where ice is accumulating – both areas to target for aerification, topdressing to raise low spots, and overseeding. For more information, visit http://safesportsfields.cals.cornell.edu/site-assessment. Once the growing season begins, be sure to update your site assessment.
- Develop or adjust field scheduling protocol – It takes a village to maintain safe, healthy fields and now is good time to begin or continue conversations about field scheduling. We have covered this topic at http://safesportsfields.cals.cornell.edu/field-scheduling. If you need help in convincing administrators, athletic directors, and coaches in the importance of investing in and protecting sports fields, the half hour presentation by Dr. Frank Rossi on Duty of Care covers a topic sure to prick up their ears – liability.
- Maintain equipment – In between snow removal and frantic bed bug calls, make sure those mower blades are sharp and balanced. Spring will be here before you know it.
For the most up-to-date information on sports field management, follow the Cornell Turfgrass Program on Facebook and Twitter.

Sensor: The Panasonic GX8 features
The Panasonic GX8 features 20 Megapixel CMOS 4/3 sensor and Sony A6300 features a 20 MP APS-C sensor, Sony A6300 sensor carry more resolution as well as bigger sensor.
Both the sensor are built on different technologies, the Sony A6300 sensor is built with active Phase AF pixels inside the sensor so it will do fast AF compared to the Panasonic GX8.
The Sony advance Hybrid CMOS AF features 425 phase based AF points and 169 contrast based AF points, will allow camera to lock AF in a little time of 0.05 sec, on the other side the Panasonic features exclusive DFD auto-focus system. that also locks AF in .07 sec. However Sony clearly wins the game by .02 sec difference.
Take a look at the difference in AF time of both the camera.
|Sony A6300
|Panasonic GX8
|AF lock time
|0.05 sec
|0.07 sec
|Continuous shooting speed
|11 fps
Continuous shooting speed of A6300 is faster compared to Panasonic GX8 camera despite of having more resolution.
ISO range of the Sony A6300 is more broad and another biggest advantage is the larger sensor area compared to the Panasonic GX8 43 sensor. More ISO will sure help you get neat and clean night-shots without noise banding or color noise.
Dual IS in Panasonic GX8 is un-comparable, Panasonic becomes the world first company to feature Dual IS in a camera system, the Panasonic GX8 comes with built in sensor shift IS mechanism and when you add a OIS lens in the camera, the camera IS system sync with the Lens based IS system to give you ultimate result.
The Panasonic GX8 features and Sony A6300 both can record 4K videos at 30fps.
The Panasonic GX8 features 3″ touchscreen vari-angle monitor with bit high resolution compared to Sony A6300.
Verdict: Both the camera have almost same price tag, so we recommend you get the Sony A6300 camera since the camera features more advance AF and better sensor on the other side the Panasonic GX8 camera features built-in image stabilization. So if you prefer built-in IS over image quality and AF you can get the GX8 camera.

A while ago I made a quick stop at the Musée de la Vie Romantique, 16 rue Chaptal, 75009. I am not sure why, but I expected it to be a museum of romance in the modern sense of the word. What I found was a museum that was dedicated to the 19th century era of French Romanticism. The main floor is filled with a variety of mementos of George Sand, a writer and leader of the Romantic movement, while the upper floor contains a number of paintings and sculptures from that time period.
Although I did enjoy the museum, the picturesque garden with a teahouse was the most appealing part of the visit for me. It was a perfect spot to enjoy a drink away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
P.S. The teahouse is open from March to October and the museum is free of charge for all permanent collections.

Two Larimer County medical doctors accused of giving medical-marijuana recommendations to undercover officers who admitted they didn't have health problems have been arrested for attempting to influence a public servant, a felony.
Dr. Dallas Williams, 73, of Milliken, who practices at the InHarmony Wellness Center in Windsor, and Dr. Joseph Montante, 63, of Longmont, who practices at the Dr. Green Blossom Wellness Center in Loveland, each posted $3,500 bond after their arrests Thursday.
Larimer County investigators from the Sheriff's Office, the North Metro Drug Task Force and the Colorado attorney general's office received a tip the doctors were giving out recommendations for people without ailments, authorities said.
Undercover officers visited the doctors. They said they had no medical conditions but still obtained the recommendations, authorities said.
The doctors couldn't be reached for comment Friday afternoon.
Colorado Medical Board records show that in 2009, Williams received a written reprimand for allowing an esthetician to perform procedures in a clinic that she was not authorized to do.
The records also show Montante and the state Medical Board reached a disciplinary stipulation in the 1990s, but specifics about what he got in trouble for were not readily available because the records are not electronic.

Beer Labels
Beer labels were first added to bottles around 1870 in America.
No one know's that exact date but it was sometime after the end of the Civil war. For the next 149 years breweries would begin applying beer labels to bottles. The beer labels had many different designs, from simple text, to graphics and logos. All in hopes to expand their beer sales and seperate them from the other beer manufacturers.
Today with advanced label printers and equipment the label printing industry has changed a lot.
With many different selections of label materials like white, clear, or metallic, it has never been more easy to print an exotic beer label that will grab your customers attention.
Bay Tech Label has been printing custom labels since 1986 with excellent customer service and quick delivery all across the United States.

A Healthy Nights sleep
We all know that feeling. The alarm goes off, you reach out to hit snooze and the first word that comes out of your mouth is .... "eurrrrrgghhhh".
Waking up after a poor nights rest is something that will affect you all day long. You have to concentrate a little bit harder on making that first cup of coffee, you probably need an extra one too to get you going. You're first few hours will drag and then you'll feel that post lunch and post dinner crash even harder, when your body tries to convince you to have a snooze while it digests your food. Tiredness makes your brain crave sugar to keep it functioning so you'll be resiting the urge to not eat all that candy and chocolate, and the only one certainty is that when your head hits that pillow, it won't take long before your in a deep sleep and dreaming away.
Making sure you get a good nights sleep is absolutely key to a productive and positive day so here are 15 key ways that you can ensure you get as good a nights rest as possible.
1. Get Yourself Regular
One of the best ways to train your body to sleep well is to go to bed and get up at more or less the same time every day, even on weekends and days off! This regular rhythm will make you feel better and will give your body something to work from.
2. Sleep When You Are Sleepy
Only try to sleep when you actually feel tired or sleepy, rather than spending too much time awake in bed.
3. Get Up And Try Again
If you haven't been able to get to sleep after about 20 minutes or more, get up and do something calming or boring until you feel sleepy, then return to bed and try again. Sit quietly on the couch with the lights off (bright light will tell your brain that it is time to wake up), or read something boring like the phone book. Avoid doing anything that is too stimulating or interesting, as this will wake you up even more.
4. Avoid Caffeine And Nicotine
It is best to avoid consuming any caffeine (in coffee, tea, cola drinks, choclate, and some medications) or nicotine (in cigarettes) for at least 4 to 6 hours before going to bed. These substances act as stimulants and interfere with the ability to fall asleep.
5. Avoid Alcohol
It is also best to avoid alcohol at least 4 to 6 hours before going to bed too. Many people believe that alcohol is relaxing and helps them to get to sleep at first, but it actually interrupts the quality of sleep.
6. Bed Is Just For Sleeping
Try not to use your bed for anything other than sleeping and sex, so that your body comes to associate bed with sleep. If you use you're bed as a place to watch TV, eat, read, work on your laptop, pay bills, and other things, your body will not learn this connection.
7. No Naps
It is best to avoid taking naps during the day, to make sure that you are tired at bedtime. If you can't make it through the day without a nap, make sure it is for less than an hour and before 3pm.
8. Sleep Rituals
You can develop your own rituals of things to remind your body that it is time to sleep - some people find it useful to do relaxing stretches or breathing exercises for 15 minutes before bed each night, or sit calmly with a cup of caffeine-free tea.
9. Bathtime
Having a hot bath one to two hours before bedtime can be useful, as it will raise your body temperature, causing you to feel sleepy as your body temperature drops again. Research shoes that sleepiness is associated with a drop in body temperature.
10. No Clock-Watching
Many people who struggle with sleep tend to watch the clock too much. Frequently checking the clock during the night can wake you up (especially if you turn on the light to read the time on your clock or watch) and reinforces negative thoughts such as "Oh no, look how late it is, I'll never get to sleep" or "it's so early, I have only slept for 5 hours , this is terrible."
11. Use A Sleep Diary
This worksheet can be a useful way of making sure you have the right facts about your sleep, rather than making assumptions. Because a diary involves watching the clock (see point 10) it is a good idea to only use it for two weeks to get an idea of what is going on and then perhaps two months down the track to see how you are progressing.
12. Exercise
Regular exercise is a good idea to help with good sleep, but try not to do strenuous exercise in the 4 hours before bedtime. Morning walks are a great way to start the day feeling refreshed!
13. Eat Right
A healthy, balanced diet will help you to sleep well, but timing is important. Some people find that a very empty stomach at bedtime is distracting, so it can be useful to have a light snack, but a heavy meal soon before bed can interrupt sleep. Some people recommend a warm glass of milk, which contains trytophan, which acts as a natural sleep inducer.
14. The Right Space
It is very important that your bed and bedroom are quiet and comfortable for sleeping. A cooler room with enough blankets to stay warm is best, and make sure you have curtains or an eyemask to block out early morning light and earplugs if there is noise outside your room.
15. Keep Daytime Routine The Same
Even if you have a bad nights sleep and are tired it is important that you try to keep your daytime activities the same as you had planned. That is, don't avopid activities because you feel tired. This can reinforce the insomnia.

Getting Started
The User Notifications give you the ability to manage push user-facing notifications to the user's device from a server or generate them locally from your app.
Local notifications and remote notifications are ways to inform users when new data becomes available for your app, even when your app is not running in the foreground. For example, a messaging app might let the user know when a new message has arrived, and a calendar app might inform the user of an upcoming appointment. The difference between local and remote notifications is straightforward:
With local notifications, your app configures the notification details locally and passes those details to the system, which then handles the delivery of the notification when your app is not in the foreground. Local notifications are supported on iOS, tvOS, and watchOS.
With remote notifications, you use one of your company's servers to push data to user devices via the Apple Push Notification service. Remote notifications are supported on iOS, tvOS, watchOS, and macOS.
Both local and remote notifications require you to add code to support the scheduling and handling of notifications in your app. For remote notifications, you must also provide a server environment that is capable of receiving data from user devices and sending notification-related data to the Apple Push Notification service (APNs), which is an Apple-provided service that handles the delivery of remote notifications to user devices.
When to Use Local and Remote Notifications
Because apps on iOS, tvOS, and watchOS are not always running, local notifications provide a way to alert the user when your app has new information to show. For example, an app that pulls data from a server in the background can schedule a local notification when some interesting piece of information is received. Local notifications are also well suited for apps such as calendar and to-do list apps that need to alert the user at a specific time or when a specific geographic location is reached.
Remote notifications are appropriate when some or all of the app's data is managed by your company's servers. With remote notifications, you decide when you want to push a notification to the user's device. For example, a messaging app would use remote notifications to let users know when new messages arrive. Because they are sent from your server, you can send remote notifications at any time, including when the app is not running on the user's device.
Enable User Notifications Support
When you are ready to add remove or local notifications to your application, activate the User Notifications framework, under the IOS Native Editor window. See the image below:
Note: Enabling User Notification, will also enable App Delegate.
Requesting Authorization to Interact with the User
In iOS, tvOS, and watchOS, apps must have authorization to display alerts, play sounds, or badge the app's icon in response to incoming notifications. Requesting authorization puts control of those interactions in the hands of the user, who can grant or deny your request. The user can also change the authorization settings for your app later in the system settings.
To request authorization, call the RequestAuthorization method of the ISN_
UNUserNotificationCenter class.
If the local or remote notifications of your app interact with the user in any way, you must call this method to request authorization for those interactions. The first time your app ever calls the method, the system prompts the user to authorize the requested options. The user may respond by granting or denying authorization, and the system stores the user's response so that subsequent calls to this method do not prompt the user again. The user may change the allowed interactions at any time. Use the GetNotificationSettings method to determine what your app is allowed to do. After determining the authorization status, the user notification center object executes the block you provide in the callback parameter. Use that block to make any adjustments in your app. For example, if authorization was denied, you might notify a remote notification server not to send notifications to the user's device. Always call this method before scheduling any local notifications and before registering with the Apple Push Notification Service. Typically, you call this method at launch time when configuring your app's notification support. However, you may call it at another time in your app's life cycle, providing that you call it before performing any other notification-related tasks.
using SA.iOS.UserNotifications;
int options = ISN_UNAuthorizationOptions.Alert | ISN_UNAuthorizationOptions.Sound;
ISN_UNUserNotificationCenter.RequestAuthorization(options, (result) => {
Debug.Log("RequestAuthorization: " + result.IsSucceeded);
Example of determining the authorization status:
using SA.iOS.UserNotifications;
ISN_UNUserNotificationCenter.GetNotificationSettings((setting) => {
Debug.Log("Notification Settings:");
The notification settings as represented as ISN_UNNotificationSettings object.
Once your app is authorized, you may feel free to implement notifications you want.

QLogic, swaying in the doorway with a tatty photocopy of its lousy prelim results in hand, has warned staff they will be axed to cut costs.
A couple of weeks ago, the server-storage connectivity card vendor signaled poor first fiscal 2016 quarter results were coming: sales will be up to $19m lower than the most optimistic estimate; a 5.4 per cent decline from the year-ago quarter.
Prasad Rampalli, QLogic's CEO, said he was "disappointed with the level of business activity during the quarter," and would "work through these headwinds, leveraging our technologies and solutions to expand our addressable market opportunities."
That's not a short-term fix and, if the headwinds affecting QLogic continue, costs must be cut to show investors things are being done while the longer-term fixes are being readied.
We have heard that Rampalli is preparing to lay off up to 200 of his 927 or so staff, and that morale is low. Henrik Hansen, QLogic's EMEA marketing head, who said he had just returned from holiday, told us: "I am not aware of any restructuring plans and hence cannot comment."
QLogic's shares have been trading in the $14 to $16 range from March to July. The results warning sent them off a cliff to the $11 to $12 area. If Rampalli can't announce decisive actions on July 30 when the first quarter results of the fiscal year are formally reported, they could nosedive further. Investors wouldn't be pleased with the new CEO; he took up the role when joining Q in February. His honeymoon is well and truly over. ®

Not long ago, cigarettes were a way of life. To many, they still are. To us, they were both comfort and calamity. We craved the experience but despised the struggle. We clung to the security but surrendered to the addiction. We anticipated the moment but concealed the stigma. We needed the satisfaction without the duality. It was time to make a change. It was time to start our mission. The mission was to find the right alternative. It didn't exist. So we made it.

The scientific disciplines of hydrology and hydrogeology are expanding as the Earth's water is being recognized by governments and individuals as a shrinking resource-no entity can afford to take water for granted. At the present time, there is no single reference source for definitions. The Encyclopedic Dictionary of Hydrogeology is a practical, comprehensive reference guide with complete definitions of terms in hydrogeology and other fields closely related to water practices. This concise reference not only defines terms and concepts, but also provides a clear explanation of key elements so that an in-depth understanding of processes may be obtained.

Mac didn't like bodyguard jobs. But he disliked kidnappers even more. So when Julian Porter, big shot movie producer, said, "Come to Hollywood, take care of my kid," Mac left Chicago and went to Hollywood. Julie'd had a threatening letter about his daughter, Linda, age five. The note said, "We're going to grab her unless…" and then there was the usual talk of big money. So Mac set up 24-hour protection. He made it his business to find out about the people in Porter's household. He talked to the producer's young wife, who made a habit of swimming in the nude. He talked even more to Bernie Wolf, Julian's "Man Friday", who seemed to spend a great deal of time with Julian's wife Carol. And he met Julian's ex-wife, Linda's mother, who had begun to regret the divorce settlement and was hanging around Linda in a suspicious way. They all got on with Mac, but not with Julian Porter. In fact, Mac decided practically everyone around Julian had a reason to hate him and to want a piece of his talent and his money. And Linda was their biggest opportunity to cash in…
"Mac is one of our best private eyes." — San Francisco Chronicle
"Thomas B. Dewey is one of detective fiction's severely underrated writers!" — Bill Pronzini
"Mac has been called one of the most believable and humane PI's in crime fiction. He is reluctant to use either his gun or his fists, but will do so when the situation demands it, or in self-defense; he doesn't merely solve his clients' cases, but provides moral support and sympathy as well; and perhaps most notable of all, Mac feels, and is not afraid to show itópain, loss, sorrow, loneliness." –thrillingdetective.com

Green Man pub in Rackheath, near Norwich closes
A famous Norfolk pub that has been a landmark on the main road between Norwich and Wroxham for centuries has closed, after the landlord said he was losing money and could not continue trading.
Iestyn Thomas took over the Green Man pub, in Wroxham Road, Rackheath about 16 months ago. But he said that the wash-out summer had hit the pub hard and he had been forced to close up yesterday.
Mr Thomas said: "We cannot continue trading as we are losing money. It's a very difficult industry to be in at the moment, in the middle of a recession. There are a lot of pubs going out of business, and there have been for a long time. It's becoming increasingly difficult to offer value for money, with the overheads we have. The summer weather was bad as well."
The pub is a popular live music venue and also famed for its Tuesday night jazz evenings, which are now in their 10th year. It's a member of the Norwich Inns buying group of licensed premises, which also includes Broadland Taverns, whose managing director Mike Lorenz said: "It's very much indicative of the times we are living in. Pubs are struggling to meet their costs and ultimately licensees have to decide whether it's viable to carry on."
The pub is part of the Wellington Pub Company estate, which was unavailable for comment yesterday.
The Evening News' Love your Local campaign has urged people to either use or risk losing their local pubs.

TORIT, 12 September 2013 [Gurtong] – The leaders said that such songs should be avoided from being played on public radio stations because young South Sudanese will always listen to and interpret directly for action hence destroy their thoughts and their future lives.
The state Legislative Assembly threatened in one of their resolutions, raised by the SPLM Women list from Torit County, Hon. Angela Ajana Pio, to impede any radio stations found broadcasting such songs including immoral dramas considered immoral to the general public.
A section of the public has disclosed that they need songs that encourage and advocate for good morals and peace.
Torit residents who spoke to Gurtong recommended that there is a need to form a public protection committee to keenly monitor radio stations that secretly sneak into repeating the practice.
While the legislator, Angela ajana Pio, said some songs are very bad, abusive to women and misleading especially to children, MPs commented that a number of songs are immoral and should not be played for public on radio stations.
The State Information, Broadcasting, Telecommunications and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Clement Laku Chichim concurred that several songs played at various radio stations are informative and educative helping the public change attitudes from bad to good habits saying those songs that appear unhelpful to the public need to be discouraged from being televised or broadcast.
He empathetically clarified that songs that appear conveying harmful impacts to South Sudanese kids, girls in particular should be shunned.
Though the concerned Minister and the Parliament specify the imminent execution of the resolution, they both advocate that Media houses across the state if found guilty will face penalty consistent with the South Sudanese Media Act.

Review: Best Coast and Bully at First Avenue – Minneapolis, MN – June 8, 2015
No longer part of the new indie darling group, Best Coast has been clubbing it, with a couple hundred shows and a few thousand miles now under their jangly belt. Gone are the days of Drew Barrymore-directed videos and the lo-fi sound that carried them through their honeymoon period of their debut album (Crazy For You) back in 2010. Best Coast is back and louder than ever as a rollicking 5-piece touring band, shedding much of the pop glory found on their 2nd album, The Only Place and replacing it with more rock and roll than ever before. The California-style sun-baked melodies take a backseat behind the triple guitar threat onstage.
While oldies ('Boyfriend') elicit the biggest crowd responses, the Best Coast duo of Bobb Bruno and Bethany Cosentino have found their anthem for now and the years ahead. 'California Nights', the lead single, title track and most endearing mid-tempo rocker from their new album is the evening's musical highlight. It's a song that lyrically captures the essence of the band more than any other since Barrymore's 'Our Deal' direction lit up MTV five years ago. 'Night's is the centerpiece of a show that is carried by Cosentino's Jenny Lewis-style voice. Her genuine modesty at the outpouring of support from the boisterous Minneapolis crowd was evident between most of the songs.
1200 fans filled the venue at 90% (which common sense would say is 100% when you're there) and watched a singularly focused Bruno and the rather enigmatic Cosentino rage through a long collection of 3-minute rockers. Cosentino stopped at one point to let the crowd know what it meant to her for them to sing her emotionally driven lyrics back to her. It was an 80 minute love fest, clocking in at just the right amount. While perhaps never being able to revive the pop song glory of The Only Place, Best Coast is still interesting enough to believe there's ample room for more musical growth and something new a couple years from now.

Before becoming a SAHM, I worked full-time. I hustled in the morning to round up my sweetie and everything he would need that day for morning daycare and school. I prepared myself for the day, loaded him into the car to drop him off, and headed to work.
I spent all day at a job I half hated and half loved, feeling the guilt of leaving him in someone else's care while I went to work. My paycheck was just covering the cost of daycare itself.
It was always in our family plan to have me stay home with our children, but we never seemed quite ready to make the leap. With my second pregnancy, however, the decision to stay home became an absolute must. The cost of daycare ALONE was enough to convince us, among many other factors.
The transition from working full-time to staying home at 20 weeks pregnant was pretty easy. I basically napped all day while Max was at school, counted kicks, and went to my prenatal appointments. I mean, who could complain?
But the transition from one kid to TWO at home all summer by myself was exhausting. It's been a year since we've transitioned to two, and I can tell you that most days I am still pretty exhausted.
BUT I've found a couple of tricks along the way that have really helped me maintain my sanity and keep my eyes off of the clock during the day…
Develop A Routine And Stick To It
Now you may be thinking, where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, every single baby book and article ever written. Well, here it is again, listed at #1 because it FREAKING WORKS.
It is soooooooooooooo important to get everyone in the house on board too. Babies that are on a routine (you'll actually be lucky if they put themselves on a routine FOR you!) are happier. It doesn't need to be fancy or charted it just needs to fit everyone's immediate needs in.
Not to mention, if you have all the kids in bed by 8:00 p.m., you can plan your glass of wine, catch up on your favorite shows, etc. It's called "Mom's alone time" and we all need it.
And on another note, STICK TO YOUR ROUTINE. Last Tuesday, I woke up an entire hour later than I usually do, and while we weren't late to anything, it threw our day completely off. And I felt no more rested than I did the day before! Not worth it.
Shower At Night
This is kind of obvious too, but I used to drive myself crazy trying to shower during naps. It just isn't plausible to shower during the day. The little one wakes up, or the older one needs me to open something/attach a Lego man's arms that have somehow popped off his body, while his dad was originally two feet away from him on the couch.
Put those babes to bed, and then jump in the shower. You'll have the best chance at actually cleaning yourself, and maybe even shaving.
Learn To Be Present
What I really mean by this, is to play. The millennial generation of parents is actually expected to fully entertain their kids…by the minute. Talk about demand! I imagine that babysitting grandparents probably feel that demand now too. I don't condone or agree with entertaining your kids 24/7, that's just exhausting, but I do think there is something to the idea of playing with your kids.
So drop the laundry basket, and play! I find that I feel incredibly stressed trying to do everything around the house that needs to be tended to while my children are constantly fussing for my attention.
So one day, I dropped the broom, the sponge, and the Swiffer. I sat down, and I played… like a kid. My kids loved it. I listened to them babble, talk, and make explosion noises. We were all happy just being together.
It is hard to 'ignore' the overwhelming pile of laundry in the hallway, the scuffs of dirt on the kitchen floor, or the obvious shed of dog hair all over the sofa.
But I discovered that by being present for playtime, they felt heard, and I felt released from my duties as a 'maid' for a while. I could worry about cleaning later.
Involve The Kids In Cleaning
Yep! Not only will they have to learn these life skills later in life, but you also need help with them now. Just like you teach them to clean up after themselves when they are done eating, you can teach them to do certain age-appropriate chores around the house.
This not helps you out but also teaches them responsibility.
My son Max actually LOVES to help me load the washing machine and then empty it into the dryer. He will hand me clothes to wash (little does he know he is actually learning to separate colors, whites, jeans, etc.) and then I will hand him the washed clothes to load into the dryer. He even pleads with me to put the dryer sheet in each time.
Avoid Netflix
Netflix, Hulu, Movies, Lifetime, etc. I used to watch a lot of Netflix, and it can be really easy to do when you have kids.
Binge watching a show steals your attention from your routine, from your kids, and everything you need to get done! While I was more entertained on an adult level, so to speak (no ABC'S or Dr. Suess, yay!), I was also sucked into a TV show all day that became the only thing I wanted to pay any attention to. And I found myself feeling more sad and lonely.
So that prompted me to….
Go Outside
Weather permitting, you should be getting the kids outside. It's actually great for your memory AND any mental fatigue you're having. #MOMBRAIN, anyone?
I found that on the days I spent at least 30 minutes outside were my happiest days. It can also be so freeing to feel the wind in your hair – you forget the four walls surrounding you and all the loneliness that comes with being the only adult in the entire house all day. Not to mention how much energy the kids burn once outdoors (and more energy burned = longer, deeper nap).
Also, try to find out when and where some local kids activities are happening in your area.
A great place to find these is on Facebook, under 'Events'. You can see what's happening around you and decide if its something your kids would enjoy. I love to scan this section of Facebook so I can see local face painting events, cider mill openings, fairs, and plays I know my kids would love to get out of the house for.
Talk To A Friend
Hopefully, you've got some of these, because having kids can really isolate you from the world. At least, that's how it feels.
My best friend and I FaceTime at least once a week, and it really helps my sanity. I'm not sure she even knows it, because I'm sure on the other end of the phone I look completely worn out and am probably too tired for complete sentences. But it truly does help, especially the parts of the conversation that have absolutely nothing to do with my kids. I love hearing about all of her "adulting", her family, her sweet poochie, etc. She also reminds me that I am not so awful at "momming".
So find yourself a friend that will let you download your day, and make you feel like you really are rocking it as a mom!
Set A Plan For The Day, And Get It Done!
Being a SAHM is really tough. It is literally, and I feel like such a whiner when I say this, harder than any other job I've ever had. My advice is to write what your plan is for today, tomorrow, and the next day. If it helps you to plan your meals, habits, to-do for the day, errands, etc, do it!
With #mombrain going on, it's so hard to remember, well, anything. I have a FREE Printable Daily Planner if you need a quick printable option for organizing your day (and even more free printables for my loyal subscribers).
That's it for now! I'm still figuring it out as I go. There are challenging days, and it can be difficult trying to keep up with it all. But these eight little tips/tricks have really helped me regain some mind power and energy so I can better channel it to raising these little monsters of mine.
I'd love to hear some tips my readers might have that have helped you while staying at home. What works for you?

A Monster Calls – Wed, Oct. 12 @ 9:15p
(Free Sneak Peek w/ dir. J.A. Boyona in person!)
This highly anticipated dark fantasy from lauded The Orphanage director J.A. Bayona, A Monster Calls is a children's tale of the old-school variety: brooding and beautiful, with adult themes of jealousy, anger, selfishness, and death. Adapted from the hugely popular novel of the same name, Bayona's interpretation of Patrick Ness's story employs dimly-lit visual conventions to represent the overwhelming loss and grief felt by our young protagonist, the grieving Conor. The boy seeks companionship and solace via the titular monster, an enormous, ragged tree beast, voiced by Liam Neeson, who is at turns terrifying and tender as he offers a chance for catharsis. Guillermo del Toro protégée Bayona goes suitably dark and deep, creating a fractured, haunting, but painfully lovely world, allowing our young hero, caught between dream and reality, to find his own way back to the light.
Dir. J.A. Bayona, 2016, DCP, 108 min.
