Facebook's Advice to Marketers: Post Stuff About Your Brand
It's no secret that Facebook has decided the best way to spur more advertising on the platform is to encourage marketers to use their brand Pages more effectively.
With that goal in mind, Facebook looked at postings on 23 brand Pages over one month to see which posts did the best. The upshot: When you talk about things related to your brand, you'll get more engagement.
For example, a post by a cruise line marketer (Facebook did not disclose which brands exactly were involved in the study) stating "I decided to go on my first cruise because ____," performed better than one that said, "Hang in there everybody. Monday will be over before we know it."
"Topics related to brand or about the brand were significant predictors of increased engagement," says Sean Bruich, head of measurement at Facebook. "When pages post about topics related to brands, they increase engagement."
The advice may seem obvious, but Bruich points out that many brands try to stay relevant by "just publishing the latest meme."
Facebook's other advice to brands is to use photos, albums and videos to generate all three types of engagement and to post a clear call to action ("Like this if…") to increase likes. The company also confirmed the conventional wisdom that asking a question in a post will lead to more comments.
Though the study took place during the period in which brands switched over to Timeline, the research didn't delve into the topic. Despite that, some researchers, including Simply Measured, have seen a big difference in engagement with the new platform.
Facebook's focus on getting brands to use their Pages better coincided with the introduction of Timeline for users last fall. (Timeline for brands just became available in late February.) Facebook believes that more engaging brand Pages will become the main focus for advertisers on the platform and that amplifying status updates and other brand Page activity will be a viable alternative to traditional advertising.
With Facebook's IPO set to hit later this week, not everyone agrees that Facebook can herd big marketers over to the new platform. Nate Elliott, a Forrester Research analyst, called Facebook's latest ad strategy a "tiny evolution from its existing ad model" and noted that "companies in industries from consumer electronics to financial services tell us they're no longer sure Facebook is the best place to dedicate their social marketing budget – a shocking fact given the site's dominance among users."

NORWALK – Mater Dei's football team pushed aside another dose of adversity Saturday to stake its claim for a second consecutive national title and reward its veteran coach with a milestone victory.
The Monarchs also might have set in motion plans for an even longer reign.
With several juniors and sophomores and even freshmen contributing, Mater Dei defeated De La Salle for the second consecutive year in the CIF State Open Division championship by posting a 35-21 victory before 4,823 at Cerritos College.
Junior quarterback Bryce Young threw for 296 yards and two touchdowns and senior running back Shakobe Harper rushed for three scores as Mater Dei (13-2) defended its No. 1 national rankings by MaxPreps and High School Football America against the Spartans (12-1), a consensus top-10 team in the nation with a stellar defense.
The Monarchs also delivered Coach Bruce Rollinson his 300th career victory despite playing without star cornerback Elias Ricks. The junior missed the game for a reason Rollinson declined to discuss because of student confidentially.
The absence loomed significant as the Spartans, known for their ground attack, made big plays in the passing game and pushed the Monarchs harder than in last season's 52-21 result in the championship game. Mater Dei also lost rising defensive back Josh Hunter — a starter as a freshman — after a big hit late in the game.
But pushing aside adversity was the Monarchs' lasting signature this season. They overcame an early-season forfeit for using an ineligible player. They found redemption in the CIF-SS Division 1 final against rival St. John Bosco after a lopsided loss to the Braves in mid-October.
And they had to fight one more time Saturday, which Rollinson thought was fitting.
"I'm in it for the kids and I'm really, really happy and gratified that I got to get my 300th win with this team because there were times when it was looking shaky and how they did overcome adversity," said Rollinson, who raised his arms to the Mater Dei faithful with about a minute left in the game.
"It makes it that much more special."
Harper agreed.
"With the group that we had to do it with this year makes it even more special because of all the stuff we've been through all year," Harper said. "We had some highs and we had some lows. Lots of lows. …(We) stayed positive. We never got down on ourselves."
De La Salle trimmed Mater Dei's lead to 28-21 with 6:09 left in the fourth quarter on a 1-yard TD run by James Coby on fourth-and-goal. The score came after the Spartans blocked a punt, another obstacle for the Monarchs to overcome.
But the USC-committed Young led Mater Dei on a seven-play, 85-yard scoring drive that Harper punctuated with a 15-yard TD run with 3:55 remaining. Harper finished with 122 yards on 22 carries.
Senior wide receiver Bru McCoy positioned the Monarchs for the score with a spectacular one-handed reception. McCoy had seven catches for 116 yards.
"Bryce Young took over in that last drive," Rollinson said of the passer, who finished 18 of 25 in the game. "(And) if Harper isn't one of the MVPs of the game, I don't know who is."
Mater Dei led 14-7 at halftime but marched the second-half kickoff 67 yards on seven plays to take a 21-7 lead. Harper capped the drive a 15-yard touchdown run highlighted by a spin between two defenders at the 5.
Young set up the score by standing his ground against a heavy rush to complete a third-and-9 pass to McCoy for a 24-yard gain to the Spartans 40.
Mater Dei opened a 28-7 lead with 4:52 left in the third quarter with a 1-yard TD by Harper after junior linebacker Jacobah Fuamatu recovered a fumble. It was the Monarchs' sixth fumble recovery against De La Salle the past two years and they later added a seventh.
De La Salle kept fighting. Lumagia Hearns caught a 67-yard TD pass from sophomore quarterback Dorian Hale on a short slant route early in the fourth quarter to cut Mater Dei's lead to 28-14.
But the Monarchs soon responded to the challenge like they did all season.
"Coach said earlier this week 'Fortune favors the bold' meaning when you're willing to step up and rise to any occasion, things usually fall you way," McCoy said. "We came out with the mentality, game after game, practice after practice, that there ain't nothing we're afraid of. … Overcoming all that adversity is really a testament how we handle ourselves."
Mater Dei capitalized on a high snap on a De La Salle punt to open a 7-0 lead with five minutes left in the first quarter.
Young zipped a 27-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Cameron Gardner shortly after the Spartans sailed a snap over their punter.
Mater Dei forced the punt after a sack by sophomore Raesjon Davis. The linebacker finished with a team-high seven tackles, two sacks and four tackles for losses.
The Monarchs' defense created another scoring chance later in the first quarter. With the Spartans driving deep into Mater Dei territory, lineman Evan Bennett recovered a fumble at his 26 with 3:28 left in the opening period.
Mater Dei turned the fumble into a 37-yard touchdown pass from Young to a streaking McCoy just seconds into the second quarter.
Tight end Mike Martinez helped spark the seven-play, 74-yard scoring drive with a key reception over the middle. The UCLA committed senior finished with six catches for 87 yards.
Mater Dei scored 14 points off De La Salle turnovers, one year after scoring 28 points off turnovers in the 2017 state game. The Monarchs also didn't commit a turnover Saturday.
De La Salle responded with its own pass attack to tighten the score before halftime. Hale threaded a 9-yard touchdown pass to Grant Daley with 9:08 left in the second quarter.
Hale helped set up the score by narrowly avoiding a sack and lofting a screen pass over the Mater Dei defense to Coby, who dashed for an 83-yard gain to the Monarchs 8.
Mater Dei's defense held the rest of the half. Darion Warren-Green, a junior, and Fuamatu recorded tackles for losses while Steele Dubar collected a sack.
The Monarchs held De La Salle to 3 yards rushing on 40 attempts, an average of 0.1 per carry. The Spartans sailed punt accounted for a 32-yard loss but Mater Dei's defense still played well with three sacks and three fumble recoveries.
Mater Dei's offensive line of sophomore George Miki-Han, juniors Tai Marks, Kamuta Levasa and Sefita Tupe and senior Robert Gibson allowed only one sack. And the unit didn't feature standout left tackle Myles Murao, who suffered a season-ending leg injury against JSerra.
Murao was also part of the adversity the Monarchs overcame in 2018 but will be yet another junior coming back in 2019.
"We got a real good team coming back. Let's go for 315, baby!" Rollinson said.

When talking kitchen designs, you will aware they are literally never end or limitless! Many available themes to choose make homeowners feel easier to start a kitchen remodel project. Futuristic kitchen designs have a special place too although its popularity below modern style. This design tries combining creative functionality and latest technology to create an efficient space.
Unlike other designs, futuristic kitchens are famous for few movable decorations and very rely on minimal color such as steel gray. Some professional designers using popping colors such as sky blue or deep red to avoid a dull look. Making the lights turn into any other color is a brilliant idea you can do to change the kitchen atmosphere. Just one push on a button, kitchen will look totally different room and boost mood too.
As you move into the future, daily tasks in the kitchen are bound to be easier. However, that doesn't mean there will be a robot, but you will be easier to find and take everything you want. Nowadays, several kitchen industries make automated drawers and cabinets. Futuristic kitchen designs rely on linear layout instead of the conventional rectangular or square. Meanwhile steel and glass become the most important building materials. Pillars, islands and counters are using unorthodox shapes and irregular forms. All of these elements are able to create a clean and neat look, but also will remind you with minimalist and unconventional. Futuristic kitchens must be eco-friendly, a must! Materials and appliances must be environmentally compatible. So, you should choosing electric appliances with energy star logo or buy a dishwasher that help conserve water.
Whether you have a big or small space, there is always a reason to update the kitchen into an amazing room. As the homeowner, you can also merge several elements from other designs into this one to suit your needs and personal taste. So, don't hesitate to put any ideas you have for better result.
Are you interested to try futuristic kitchen designs? This could be a nice choice if you want something different from the modern style.

Dell Latitude E7470 Freezes during registration
I am trying to register and upload an new image. We are running Centos 6 with FOG v.31. I want to upgrade to 1.2 but dunno how it will affect the other images ie our main one we use which is HP Compaq 6200 Pro. I look at the compatibility list and the HP says it works in v.32 nothing on v1.x.x yet. We have made a snap shot of the FOG server itself in case the upgrade goes haywire but didn't know if there was any work around in v.31. I am out sourced to my position from my parent company and do not have access to change certain features but I can get them to do it for me provided I give enough evidence of it being needed done.
Any help would be great and Thanks in advance.
@SusejNatas Go ahead and update again. RC-4 is out.
@george1421 I'm already pleased with the speed of 1.3.0 but my network admin left for the day so I have to wait till tomorrow to copy over the information. But I'm already impressed with some of the improvements so far but I am still at bare bones.
I was going to have this solved but I don't think that is something I can do. I'm a n00b to these forums so that might be the reason also.
@SusejNatas in the end you will have a much better env with 1.3.0 on a newer os. FOG 1.3.0 is also much faster with deployment than 0.30. Plus so many other web gui changes to mention.
@george1421 They don't give me access to the vsphere where my company outsourced me too. I am waiting for him to restore the vm snapshot of the original server so I can see if I can export what I can to move over. The network admin does the storage moves and what not they just wanted me to upgrade/build the fog server. I can't really move forward with all my transfer till he sits down and does what i asked him to do ie DNS option for the new IP and restoring the previous snapshot of the old fog server. He also installed Ubuntu 16 so i said f*** it and installed fog trunk to go along with it.
Thanks everyone I ended up building a Never Server and restoring the old one as a backup in case we run into issues with out old images on the new one. My New one is on Ubuntu 16 running Trunk much faster than v.31. This is a new environment for me. But thanks for all your help!
@Wayne-Workman I might not have given my entire logic with the just update to centos 7 bit. Understand that Centos 6 will receive updates until Q2 2017. This is akin to MS stopping updates for XP. While Centos 6 will continue to function after Q2 2017 any newly detected vulnerabilities would not be patched. IF the OP is at a cross roads right now and is considering upgrading to FOG 1.3.0, then now would be a logical time to consider the move to Centos 7 too. But again, that is only my recommendation. I understand environmental issues may not allow the OP to update the OS at this time.
I agree with George.
If you can build a new server from scratch, do it.
@Wayne-Workman I don't happen to have a vm template of centos 6 any more, but I can spin up a new vm tonight with centos 6 on it and test.
BUT my recommendation to the OP (for what ever its worth), if they have a virtualization environment I would spin up a new Centos 7 vm and then install 1.3.0-rc2 on it clean. Yes that will mean that they will have to recreate the FOG environment all over, a lot can be done by copy and pasting and then transferring the /images directory over. So it will be some work to do. BUT what it will give you is a fall back system in case of difficulties with the new version of FOG. If the new FOG server falls down the old one is still there, all you need to do is power it on.
With that said, I can spin up a new centos 6 vm tonight and see if fog 1.3.0-rc2 installs without any monkey business. Understand this will not be an exact match for the OPs environment since the OP is upgrading fog from 0.30.
It's hard to keep the compatibility list updated. We only know what people tell us. Generally, if the model ever worked with fog, it will work with future versions - generally.
Upgrading from .32 to 1.3.0 RC2 should go smoothly. You'll need to set your old images to use 'partimage' instead of partclone.
Before updating, take a DB backup. I don't know if .32 can export the DB or not, in later versions it's located in FOG Configuration -> Configuration Save -> Export. If you don't have that, you'll need to do it manually. Instructions on that can be found here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_MySQL
Also, if you don't have FOG doing dhcp, you'll likely have it setup in Windows, and option 067 for this old installation is likely set to the old unsupported file, you'll want to change that to
Further - CentOS 6… @Developers @Moderators @Testers can anyone confirm that 1.3.0 RC2 works on CentOS 6 without a hitch?

In defense of e-reading: reasons to read with Android
What is reading on a smartphone? It's a niggling reminder you're not reading a book; it's the best opportunity in history for people to read more; it's a strain on your eyes; it's convenient and it's complicated. Many refuse to read something as important as a novel on their smartphone, but I believe it is not only worthwhile, but a new window on an age-old pastime.
Reasons (and refutations of reasons) not to e-read
The complaints surrounding reading on smartphones are few in number, but each is huge and all but universal. Most prefer the feel, the physicality of a book. There's nothing so palpable as turning a page or hearing the spine crack to be found on a smartphone. Certainly, there is no way around this, but there is no perfect way to read, either.
As someone who has moved around a lot in the past few years, taking more than 10 books with me at any one time is a significant inconvenience. Sacrifices have to be made, no matter how you choose to read. Essentially, my argument is that any reading is good reading, and if you have a choice between a reading more on a smartphone or reading less through books, I'd choose the former.
Another common complaint is that smartphones are uncomfortable to read on. The screen is too bright, too small, the scrolling motion too distracting and tiring on the eyes. Even a Kindle is preferable to a smartphone for many, but then the convenience of a smartphone is unparalleled; you have it on you all the time anyway, so why not carry a weightless novel on its internal storage?
It's also easier than ever to adjust your smartphone display to be as comfortable as possible. There are screen dimmers for bed readers, and apps like Moon+ Reader that offer a high level of customization. I've found that a yellow Sans Serif font on a black background works well.
Our smartphones are insistent, needy little beasts. They feed us a constant stream of notifications, which, for me, at least, mostly see immediate dismissal. All this crying for attention from our smartphones makes it easy to get sidetracked when reading on one. If you're committed to trying e-reading out, make sure you disable all notifications (yes, even WhatsApp) when you're sitting, or lying, down to read. A break in concentration can be fatal to the smartphone reader.
Reasons to e-read
A recent article over at The Atlantic painted an unusually romantic picture of smartphone reading. It concerns a technological dive into Marcel Proust's sprawling masterstroke, In Search of Lost Time. The author compares reading this 4,000-page opus on his smartphone to navigating a vast ocean without a compass, a voyage in which the smartphone screen becomes "a tiny glass-bottomed boat".
Reading on a smartphone can be a liberating experience when seen in this way. Cast adrift of a material footing, not knowing where we are as we would in a book just by the feel of the pages between thumb and forefinger in each hand, leaves only the words and the void between them. We are dwarfed by the mystery of what has passed, what is to come and where we are in relation to the whole, and this is a positive thing.
This untethered experience has the potential to make reading more beguiling and immersive than it has ever been (assuming you do have those notifications disabled).
More tangibly, reading on a smartphone, if you commit to it and accept its shortcomings, means you will read more. If you can digest a chapter on the train to work, a couple of paragraphs as you wait for your coffee, then why not take advantage of this? Why not join Ahab in his maniacal pursuit of Moby Dick while you enjoy your bimonthly pedicure?
All these idle moments, usually wasted, can be turned towards a worthwhile pursuit, a voyage away from mundane distractions and into the fantastic. Perhaps one day soon you can finally, at last, tell people you've read War and Peace. There is surely no greater reward than that.
What's more, you can pick up Moby Dick and War and Peace for free over at Project Gutenburg, along with over 50,000 other titles. Then there are cheap options like StoryBundle and Humble Book Bundle, as well as regular offers in the Play Store.
Do you read on your smartphone? If not, have I in any way managed to convince you it might be worth a go? Let me know in the comments.

Moran, A., Nancarrow, S. and Butler, A. (2005) "There's no place like home" A pilot study of perspectives of international health and social care professionals working in the UK. Australia and New Zealand Health Policy, 2 (25). ISSN 1743-8462
Many countries are reporting health workforce shortages across a range of professions at a time of relatively high workforce mobility. Utilising the global market to supply shortage health skills is now a common recruitment strategy in many developed countries. At the same time a number of countries report a 'brain drain' resulting from professional people leaving home to work overseas. Many health and social care professionals make their way to the UK from other countries. This pilot study utilises a novel 'e-survey' approach to explore the motives, experiences and perspectives of non-UK health and social care professionals who were working or had worked in the UK. The study aims to understand the contributions of international health and social care workers to the UK and their 'home' countries. The purpose of the pilot study is also in part to test the appropriateness of this methodology for undertaking a wider study.
A 24-item questionnaire with open-ended and multiple choice questions was circulated via email to 10 contacts who were from a country outside the UK, had trained outside the UK and had email access. These contacts were requested to forward the email to other contacts who met these criteria (and so on). The email was circulated over a one month pilot period to 34 contacts. Responses were from physiotherapists (n = 11), speech therapists (n = 4), social workers (n = 10), an occupational therapist (n = 1), podiatrists (n = 5), and others (n = 3). Participants were from Australia (n = 20), South Africa (n = 10), New Zealand (n = 3) and the Republic of Ireland (n = 1). Motives for relocating to the UK included travel, money and career opportunities. Participants identified a number of advantages and disadvantages of working in the UK compared to working in their home country health system. Respondents generally reported that by working in the UK, they had accumulated skills and knowledge that would allow them to contribute more to their profession and health system on their return home.
This pilot study highlights a range of issues and future research questions for international learning and comparison for the health and social care professions as a result of international workforce mobility. The study also highlights the usefulness of an e-survey technique for capturing information from a geographically diverse and mobile group of professionals.

Buhari Urge Nigerians Not To Lose Hope On Abducted Chibok Schoolgirls
Estimated Reading Time: <1
President Muhammadu Buhari says his government is in touch with the captors of the Chibok girls to secure their release.
The president urged Nigerians not to lose hope that the girls would return, assuring them that he would do his best to reunite abducted girls with their parents.
In a message on the third anniversary of the abduction of the girls, Buhari consoled the parents of the girls, saying, "I feel what you feel".
"We were determined to secure the release of the Chibok girls and others forcefully abducted from their homes and communities and retake the occupied territories," he said in a statement issued by Femi Adesina, his spokesman, on Thursday.
"Determined to secure the freedom of the abducted girls and recover lost territories, this administration gave the necessary political and logistical backing which energised gallant members of our armed forces and other security agencies to overrun the headquarters of Boko Haram in the Sambisa Forest and scatter the terrorists from their strong base.
"Today, the group has been degraded and is no longer in a position to mount any serious, coordinated attack, other than sporadic suicide attacks on soft targets. Even at that, their reach is very much confined to a small segment of the northeast where they had previously held sway unchecked.
"On the Chibok girls, we have had reason to celebrate the return of twenty-four of them and thousands of other Nigerians who were forcibly abducted by the terrorists.
"Furthermore, government is in constant touch through negotiations, through local intelligence to secure the release of the remaining girls and other abducted persons unharmed."
He sent special appreciation to the parents and families that had endured three years of agony waiting for the return of their children.
"I feel what you feel. Your children are my children. On this solemn occasion, my appeal is that we must not lose hope on the return of our remaining schoolgirls," he said.
"Our intelligence and security forces, who have aptly demonstrated their competence, are very much equal to the task and absolutely committed to the efforts to find and return the schoolgirls and others abducted by Boko Haram.
The president emphasised that the federal government was willing to bend backwards to secure the release of the remaining Chibok girls.
"We have reached out to their captors, through local and international intermediaries, and we are ever ready to do everything within our means to ensure the safe release of all the girls."
On April 14, 2014, 276 girls were abducted from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno. Out of that number 81 have regained freedom, while 195 are still in captivity.

We are located in the parish of Southampton overlooking the blue water of the South Shore of Bermuda.
Our lovely church standing among ancient leaning grave stones was named after the mother of the Virgin Mary traditionally known as Anne. There is a large statue of St. Anne in our sanctuary mirroring the statue behind the altar in the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity in Hamilton.
The story of St Anne bears a similarity to that of the birth of Samuel whose mother Hannah (Anne in Hebrew) had also been childless and bore a child late in life. Although St. Anne receives little attention in the Western Church prior to the late 12th century, dedications to Anne in the Eastern Church occur as early as the 6th century.
We are an inclusive and family oriented worshipping community where visitors find a welcome no matter what their church background. We believe in doing things together, helping people to joyously grow in faith, love and confidence in the Lord.
We have just over 100 on our electoral roll with an average Sunday attendance at our main service of 45. Following the service we usually have a time of fellowship with refreshments in our hall.
During the summer we often have holiday visitors from the three hotels in our parish, The Reefs, The Fairmont and The Pompano.
I hope you find this website both helpful and informative and that as you visit us you will find spiritual refreshment and joy.
Every Blessing

Dolphin is the file manager of KDE.
I'll show how to use dolphin for common file managing tasks, and how to customize it to your needs.
When we open the dolphin from K-menu it shows starting directory - by default it is your home directory. That's the place in system, where all your files are kept. You can write your files outside of this folder, but all applications are configured to propose this folder as place to write your files to. And this is easier, when you are keeping your things here.
To open file, or go to folder just click on it. You don't have to double-click. It's KDE, not windows - you can click only once :).
Selecting files - in KDE, by default when you click once on something, it activates. In Windows you have to couble-click for that effect. So, there is problem, what to do in KDE if you don't want to open folder or file, only select it ? Answer is simple - over any icon in dolphin, when you hover your mose over it, there will be small "+" sign. Like that:
When you click that sign, this file/folder will be added to selection. You can easily select many files in that way (selecting by draging rectangle also works).
Many selected files looks like this:
We also see here, how we can deselect files - when file is selected, and you place your mouse cursor over it, in place of "+" sign there will be "-". If you click it, file will be deselected.
Customizing Dolphin.
- Grouping files:
Sometimes there are many files in directory, and you are only interested in text files, or images. There is a way to separate files of different types in dolphin, without moving it to subdirectories.
In menu View there is option "Show in groups". Let's enable it.
- Split view:
You can split view in Dolphin, to make it easier to copy between folders, etc. It will look like in old Norton Commander or Total Commander (or Midnight Commander).
D3lphin is a fork of Dolphin for KDE 3. It lacks some features of Dolphin from KDE 4. It is also less known, because for KDE 3 default file manager was Konqueror. This fork is not supported by KDE and is no longer maintained by its author.
In KDE 4 Dolphin opens by default, when we click on any folder, it can also be started from K-menu.

All year long, there have been comparisons with this year and 1968. For awhile, the radical Democratic challenger once again looked as if he'd bump off the establishment candidate—only to have the vice president take the nomination. Meanwhile, on the GOP side, Donald Trump has been channeling Richard Nixon, with his talk if the "Silent Majority," and "Law and Order."
He spoke Sunday on the issue, as reported by Fortune.
Donald Trump condemned the killings on Sunday of three Louisiana police officers as the fresh spasm of violence put a somber note on the opening of the Republican National Convention due this week to formally nominate him for the White House.
Trump seized on the shooting deaths of the officers in Baton Rouge to bolster his case that he is the better candidate in the Nov. 8 U.S. presidential election to restore law and order than his rival, Democrat Hillary Clinton. . .
Despite a lack of clarity about the motive and specifics of Sunday's incident, Trump sought to link the violence to the U.S.-led fight against Islamic State, writing: "We are TRYING to fight ISIS, and now our own people are killing our police. Our country is divided and out of control. The world is watching."
Ironically, it is the Democrats who are pushing the 1968 analogy.
Democratic strategist David Axelrod tweeted that Trump's effort to make himself a law-and-order candidate reminded him of a similar attempt by Richard Nixon in 1968, when the Republican won his first presidential election.
"Someone's been studying '68," Axelrod tweeted.
For those too young to remember, 1968 was a time of unpopular war, racial upheaval, and dissatisfaction with the status quo. Richard Nixon portrayed himself, literally, as the "Law and Order" candidate, and he beat Democratic Vice President Hubert Humphrey. There was even name-calling, but from the vice presidential candidate, Spiro Agnew, not Nixon, himself. This year, Trump is taking the "bulldog" role, and we assume, Pence will be left to reassure half the public that "he didn't mean it."
The comparisons with 1968 fall apart in just about every facet. First, while people, particularly Democrats, are frustrated by war, they don't blame Obama for starting it, as 1968 Dems blamed LBJ. In fact, the war is not really an issue. There's no real call to "bring the boys home." Second, there is racial disorder, but it is very different from 1968. Instead of being a general frustration with a lack of progress toward equality, this year's anger is specifically related to profiling and police killings. It's largely localized and focused, not wild, unfocused fury.
But the most important difference between 1968 and this year is that the expected demonstrations and possible violence are aimed at the "Law and Order" party, not Democrats. While Bernie's fans are still angry, they are not nihilists, as many of Gene McCarthy's and George McGovern's fans were in 1968. Reports are that 85% of them are "settling" for Hillary Clinton, already. The Democratic convention may seem orderly, for once, especially coming one week after what could look like chaos.
So it will be up to the Republicans to respond to this year's protests. RealClearPolitics says that could actually be an opportunity for them.
• Does this convention project competence or chaos, and what is the implication of that?
This is partially out of the hands of Mr. Trump and Republican convention organizers, as the 1968 riots at the Democratic National Convention proved. But Mr. Trump and the GOP will pay for, or benefit from, the answer to this question.
That's because, in recent decades, the Republicans of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush emerged as contenders for, if not the claimants of, the title that once was the exclusive province of the Democratic Party: the natural party of governance.
The Democrats' possession of that title was eroded substantially by the chaos of Chicago in 1968.
In Cleveland this week, every hit from a billy club, every canister of tear gas, every bullet would undermine the claim the Republicans have fought so fiercely to defend. The party that won power in 1968 on a law-and-order plank desperately requires law and order at its own convention nearly a half-century later. Indeed, last Monday, Mr. Trump, responding to police shootings and shootings of police officers, declared, "I am the law-and-order candidate."
Law and order — but not so much that the party is vulnerable to the Ribicoff critique.
The Ribicoff critique? The reference is to Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, Democrat of Connecticut, remembered for his speech nominating Sen. George S. McGovern for president in 1968, four years before the South Dakota Democrat actually would win that nomination. "With George McGovern as president of the United States," Mr. Ribicoff said, to the disgust of Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, "we wouldn't have to have Gestapo tactics in the streets of Chicago."
Regardless of speeches and balloons and whatever other fun-and-games Trump has planned for the GOP convention this week, the real message people may take away is how they responded to the reactions of Trump, et al, to protestors. Will they be seen as competent and in control? Could they possibly even defuse the situation?? Or will they come off as angrily flailing around, impotent victims of unfairness? We'll know by next weekend.

"We need more integrated perspectives of science and society. My vision is an inter-faculty research and teaching platform integrated in European universities that inspires and fuels salient transdisciplinary research on societal transformative needs to meet the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)."
– Dorothy J. Dankel, PhD
Dorothy J. Dankel (born 1979) is a researcher with an interdisciplinary marine science background. She incorporated a variety of scientific themes in her Ph.D. thesis "Building blocks of sustainability in marine fisheries management" including numerical modeling of marine fisheries strategies using harvest control rules. Part of her specialization in marine fisheries management includes research stays at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, School of Marine Science and Technology (SMAST) and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria.
Dankel began social science and humanities related research at the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities (Senter for Vitskapsteori, Faculty of Humanities) at the University of Bergen in 2010. During the "Reflexive Systems Biology" project funded by the Research Council of Norway, Dankel worked closely with a social anthropologist in synthetic biology labs in USA and applied social science and anthropology methods including ethnography and text analysis. From 2009-2015 Dankel chaired the ICES Working Group Fishery Systems (WGFS), and subsequently led the transition to Working Group Maritime Systems (WGMARS). In 2012 Dankel led the team that created a new institution for annual high-profile research dissemination with high school students called Forskningsdagene UNG (Researcher's Night for High School students).
Since 2012, Dankel has been a board member of the Nordic Marine Think Tank (www.nmtt.org). Dankel is a co-editor for the Routledge textbook Management Science For Fisheries: An introduction to simulation-based methods, and has co-edited two special issues for the academic journal Futures on social and ethical topics of biotechnology, synthetic biology and society and Post-Normal Science in Practice (April 2017).
Dankel was invited to give a Talk @ Google lecture at Google's Cambridge campus in May 2013 on integrated ocean assessments. She represented the University of Bergen as a "young innovative researcher" for the annual University of Bergen Christie Conference in 2015.
Currently, the consolidation phase of her research reveals compelling information in the science for policy realm. Dankel's current work demonstrates an interdisciplinary framework to analyze the networks of scientists and policy-makers in marine Integrated Ecosystem Assessments. Dankel strives for new thinking in the marine sciences, including integration of the humanities into long-term management plans. Transdisciplinary perspectives of integrated assessments have the opportunity to advance the frontiers of knowledge and set a clear and inspirational target for research quality assurance of integrated assessments across Europe.
Her vision is a research and teaching platform on the topic of science for policy that is inter-faculty and integrated in European universities. Such work could inspire and fuel salient transdisciplinary research on societal needs and grand challenges, also aiding the university's contract with society.

On the Day of Archaeology 2013, I was on the 3rd day of 4 of my very 1st archaeological dig. I was a volunteer at Bodfari Hillfort in North Wales, one of several hillforts on the Clwydian Range, the smallest and apparently the steepest!
I have had no previous formal training or any kind archaeological experience other that visiting castles & museum etc. and watching TV programs such as Time Team. So I was very keen to learn as much as possible whilst volunteering but also very aware that the team were only going to be onsite for 2 weeks. I felt a little torn between just getting stuck in and questioning every action and decision the Archaeologists were making. I soon realised that the Archaeologists were quite happy to explain their methods and ideas to me and I think we all found the natural cadence of the team we were allocated to.
I was helping to dig trench three at the southern end of the hillfort. The section I was excavating was an extension which cut across the inner and middle ramparts; the team had found a wall structure at the middle rampart with a rubble and soil section packed behind, there was also a section of bedrock further in towards the inner ramparts which the Archaeologists thought could have been used to build the wall. These structures had all shown as anomalies on the geophysical image data taken in 2012.
I was chasing out the edge of the wall with my trowel, hopefully to reveal a nice straight line, we hadn't gone very far down at this point so much more work was to be done to be sure that this was indeed a wall structure, before that could happen all digging, mattocking and troweling stopped for soil sampling and measuring. Although I'd never done this before the Archaeologists and the more experienced volunteers explained everything to me so I was able to get directly involved in the measuring and sampling, not rocket science I know but with limited time for the team to get as much done as possible, I really appreciated this attention.
The Archaeologists also didn't seem to mind my close attention while they were discussing what their thoughts were on what they were looking at and during and after the planning stage. I was quite intrigued with their discussions and thought process's especially when they didn't quite agree with each other, I found it absolutely fascinating to watch and to listen to.
By the time I left the dig the next day, the last hour being thwarted by a thunder storm, we were not really any closer to working out whether the wall was a wall, if it was Iron Age or Roman and where if anywhere there is a soil level down there. There are still so many unanswered questions, though I think that this is the nature of Archaeology and why we all love it so much.
Many thanks to Gary Lock and John Pouncett and their brilliant Bodfari13 team of Archaeologist and volunteers. Thank you.

Angola's many natural resources make it one of Africa's wealthiest nations.
During 2011, Angola continued with its main macroeconomic policy of reducing inflation, deepening international reserves, and increasing capital spending on infrastructure to promote economic diversification and poverty reduction. The country continued to implement the IMF Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) program (USD 1.4 billion in liquidity), which was signed in November 2009. The SBA aims to increase fiscal and monetary discipline; reform the exchange rate system; improve public financial management; create a sound banking system and enhance fiscal transparency. In 2011, Angola took measures to overhaul the tax regime, establish a debt management unit and manage and track the flows from the oil sector to the budget. The Central Bank (BNA) moved away from a temporary rationing exchange rate system to an auction system. A comprehensive strategy for private sector development was also drawn up. A contraction in capital expenditure and better expenditure control during 2011, allowed the authorities to make domestic arrears repayment of the USD 7.5 billion, which it had incurred since 2009.
The government continues to allocate more than 30% of its budget to social spending. In 2012 budgeted social expenditure will increase by 1.6% to 33.3%, double what will be spent on defense, security and public order; and education and health budgets will be increased by 10%.
Economic growth and fiscal sustainability are still highly dependent on the oil revenues.
Angola is Africa's second largest oil producer, after Nigeria, producing over 1.9 million barrels per day (bpd). Since the global economic slowdown and the acute oil price drop that triggered domestic fiscal and balance of payments shocks, the country has been gradually recovering. Its GDP growth slightly increased from 3.4% in 2010 to an estimated 3.5% in 2011, driven mainly by rising oil prices and strong non-oil sector growth of 7.7% which helped to offset production problems in the oil sector. The country is expected to record GDP growth rates of 8.2% and 7.1% in 2012 and 2013 respectively. This will be driven mainly by the start of the USD 9 billion Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project and the expected increase of oil production to over 2 million bpd. Inflationary pressures remained high at 14.5% in 2010 and an estimated rate of 13.5% in 2011 mainly as a result of strong growth in domestic demand. However, this is projected to fall to 10.0% and 9.4% in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
Second to oil, diamonds are Angola's main export product. Major diamond reserves are located in northeastern Angola, a region endowed with the finest and top quality stones. In fact, 70% of diamonds discovered are of great quality, listing the country among the main diamond producers.

Immediate frozen embryo transfer improves pregnancy, live birth rates
Women who underwent immediate frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) following a stimulated in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle were more likely to have ongoing pregnancy and live birth compared with those who underwent delayed FET, according to a study presented at ESHRE 2019.
"Immediate FET following a stimulated IVF cycle had a significantly higher ongoing pregnancy rate than delayed FET. The findings of the study support immediate FET after a failed fresh ET cycle or a freeze all cycle," said study author Dr He Li from Shanghai Ji Ai Genetics and IVF Institute, Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Fudan University in Shanghai, China.
The researchers conducted a study involving 724 women (aged ≤43 years) from Shanghai and Hong Kong who were randomized to undergo either immediate FET (n=362; FET performed in the first cycle) or delayed FET (n=362; FET performed in the second cycle) after a failed stimulated IVF cycle between August 2017 and December 2018. All FETs were performed in hormonal replacement cycles. [ESHRE 2019, abstract O-068]
In the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis, women who underwent immediate FET had a significantly higher rate of ongoing pregnancy than those who had delayed FET (47.2 percent vs 39.2 percent, relative risk [RR], 0.72, 95 percent confidence interval [CI], 0.54–0.97; p=0.030), which exceeded the predefined equivalence margin of 10 percent.
A similar result was seen in the per-protocol analysis with a significantly higher rate of ongoing pregnancy among women in the immediate FET group compared with the delayed FET group (49.6 percent vs 41.5 percent, RR, 0.72, 95 percent CI, 0.53–0.98; p=0.034).
In addition, women in the immediate FET group had an increased live birth rate than those in the delayed FET group (39.5 percent vs 31.5 percent, odds ratio, 0.70, 95 percent CI, 0.52–0.96). However, the number of live births among 56 women are still pending, said Li.
Significantly fewer miscarriages occurred among women who had immediate FET compared with delayed FET (11.2 percent vs 19.7 percent, RR, 1.95, 95 percent CI, 1.09–3.47; p=0.022 for both ITT and per-protocol analyses).
All other pregnancy outcomes, such as positive hCG level, implantation rate, and clinical and multiple pregnancies, were comparable between the immediate and delayed FET groups for both ITT and per-protocol analyses."FET has become an increasingly important part of IVF, but there is still no good evidence to support when to perform FET following a stimulated IVF cycle. Since all published studies are retrospective and the findings are contradictory, a randomized study [was] needed to provide level one evidence to guide the clinical practice," said Li.

So, I finally got around to seeing BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN the other night.
You know, I think those two fellas were more than just good friends.
Sorry, I can never resist that one. It is like when I hear that someone is pregnant and I say, "Wow. Do they know what caused it?"
I know better, yet I am easily amused.
I haven't been avoiding the film or anything, I just didn't happen to see it until now.
It was decent enough.
I do have a problem, historically, with films where characters — played by the same actors — age more than a few years. That irked me some. Not a powerful irking, but some irkage nonetheless.
I'm also not sure exactly what I took away from the film.
Maybe that when left alone on top of a mountain, guys will resort to rough-housing and angry butt-sex to pass the time. And that those two things, we all know full well, are the cornerstones to any good relationship.
I initially didn't buy the relationship at all. To me it was just two dudes with an annoying job having a few drinks. Then suddenly Heath Ledger is spitting in his hand and getting down to work.
My first reaction to it was joking about all those sexy sheep as an alternative choice. (Damn Scottish blood.)
I did, however, begin to buy the relationship when Heath Ledger was chainsmoking in his apartment with Jen from "Dawson's Creek" and waiting for Gyllenhall to arrive to "go fishing." There did seem to be a yearning there.
Though I think it was a bad decision for Ledger to channel the dude from SLING BLADE. I spent half the movie waiting for him to say "I like them French fried potaters." He did say "Mmmm" numerous times.
I also feel a bit misled. I was expecting a "cowboy" movie. Like a western. Something set in Kansas in the 1860s. With gunfights and hookers and junk.
But, Kate Mara was in it. That made up for a lot.
I cracked up laughing when in the end credits I noticed — after watching for 2.5 hours — that it was based on a short story.
I liked the film. I didn't love it. I'm not sure what all the fuss was about.
What I did learn was that…
1) Some love stories weren't meant to be.
2) Trying to force love, when it isn't there, doesn't work.
3) If you are using fishing trips for a cover for your gay sexcapades, at least bring home a couple of friggin' fish.
Look at me. I'm growing. I got through this entire thing without once mentioning a topless Anne Hathaway and —
Ah crap!!

CHICAGO (STMW) — An FBI search of a west suburban home uncovered about 22,000 images and 186 videos of child pornography and child erotica,and on Monday, the homeowner was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
James Thielberg, 61, pleaded guilty last September to using his personal computer to search for, download, view and trade child pornography from 2000 through 2010, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.
On Monday the former Villa Park resident was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney's office.
The sentence, 120 months followed by lifetime supervised release and restrictions on computer and Internet use, was imposed by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly, the release said. Thielberg was also ordered to pay $5,000 restitution to identified victims of child porn whose images he transported or stored on his computer.
On three occasions in late 2009 and early 2010, undercover law enforcement officers, all outside of Illinois, posed as "friends," using an Internet-based peer-to-peer file sharing network to downloaded numerous images of child pornography from Thielberg's computer, the release said.
Thielberg has been in federal custody since his arrest in January 2010 after the FBI search of his home, which found that he sorted, categorized and catalogued some of his collection by creating user folders, the release said.
The collection of child porn demonstrated a strong sexual interest in children, and more particularly, in pain, bondage and sadomasochistic behavior with children and infants, according to court documents.
Theilberg must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence before he is eligible for release, and there is no parole in the federal prison system.

The Role of Hemoglobins C, S, and NBalt in the Inhibition of Malaria Parasite Development in Vitro
- Previous Article

- Next Article
The host cell competence of hemoglobin C (HbC)-containing erythrocytes for Plasmodium falciparum was studied by in vitro culture. HbC homozygous red cells did not support the growth of the intracellular parasite. Heterozygous cells, however, were competent. In addition, HbC increased the resistance of sickle cell hemoglobin (HbS) red cells when present in the double heterozygote, SC, cultured at low oxygen tension. This effect most likely resulted from the ability of HbC to enhance the sickling of HbS-containing red cells. Oxygenated SC cells were indistinguishable from normal and AS cells in host cell competence. Another double heterozygote, SNBalt, showed decreased sickling and decreased resistance to malaria parasite growth. The evolutionary significance of these results is discussed.

US cable network, HBO has reportedly experienced a cyber attack from hackers who are threatening to leak upcoming episodes of Game of Thrones.
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the hackers have already released data on shows like "Baller" and "Room 104", and are threatening to leak more.
ALSO READ: HBO show to end in 2018, possible spinoff
The hackers reportedly contacted reporters via an email on Sunday, July 30, which reads:
"Hi to all mankind. The greatest leak of cyber space era is happening. What's its name? Oh, I forget to tell. It's HBO and Game of Thrones……!!!!!! You are lucky to be the first pioneers to witness and download the leak. Enjoy it & spread the words. Whoever spreads well, we will have an interview with him. HBO is falling."
A company statement released by HBO said it "recently experienced a cyber-incident, which resulted in the compromise of proprietary information.
"We immediately began investigating the incident and are working with law enforcement and outside cybersecurity firms. Data protection is a top priority at HBO, and we take seriously our responsibility to protect the data we hold," the statement added.
Describing the attack, HBO Chairman Richard Plepler said the attack was "disruptive, unsettling, and disturbing".
"As most of you have probably heard by now, there has been a cyber incident directed at the company which has resulted in some stolen proprietary information, including some of our programming. Any intrusion of this nature is obviously disruptive, unsettling, and disturbing for all of us. I can assure you that senior leadership and our extraordinary technology team, along with outside experts, are working round the clock to protect our collective interests.
"The efforts across multiple departments have been nothing short of herculean. It is a textbook example of quintessential HBO teamwork. The problem before us is unfortunately all too familiar in the world we now find ourselves a part of. As has been the case with any challenge we have ever faced, I have absolutely no doubt that we will navigate our way through this successfully," Plepler concluded.
According to the reports, about 1.5 terabytes of data is believed to have been stolen.

The hackers allegedly obtained written material as regards the next episode (S7E4) of the hit series.
Back in April, Netflix was hacked and episodes of season five of "Orange is the New black," were leaked online.
Disney also had a similar experience in May when it was threatened with the early release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 5."

Reading your work has been something that has always excited me. "New Update?! AWESOME" Yet, it took me doing this blog and really looking into what made webcomics happen to truly appreciate/ understand them and their creators. I have followed a lot of careers throughout my reading years and I really admire all the hard work that goes into creating a story that is 100% yours.
You put in hours creating content that people can share and enjoy from anywhere. You don't know who it may impact and how much it means to people but you put it out there anyway because it means something to you. And that's what matters, how much it means to you. Because as a reader, I can tell. I can tell if you've poured your heart and personality into something. I can also tell when you haven't and are just trudging along. Either way, you are trying and growing and killing it!
Some of you want to quit and I see it a lot on twitter or when a webcomic page stops updating. It's really sad, but makes sense. You all have skills that deserve to be recognized and compensated for. Your time is worth something and it's good to realize that. Whatever your reason to quit or keep going, know that it's all up to you and your happiness.
I hope that you will keep going. I hope that you continue to find value and joy from creating and sharing. I want you to be fulfilled and to make things you are proud of. And you should be proud! Because you put out content that is amazing and special and unique. Things that publishers or studios may not want to put out there, but you do because you believe in it and you know others may too. And I believe in it!
If you are reading this and are a creator, keep it up! If you are reading this and are a webcomic reader, show your support! Write your own letter, tweet at creators and let them know you love them! They want to hear from you!! Know that they don't owe you anything! You owe them! And they owe everything to themselves for making great work!!
Keep up the hard work and being creative!

Apple Store is a chain of retail stores owned and operated by Apple Inc. The stores sell various Apple products, including Mac personal computers, iPhone smartphones, iPad tablet computers, iPod portable media players, Apple Watch smartwatches, Apple TV digital media players, software, and select third-party accessories.
Mac Store has horrible customer service and techs are poorly trained, according to Ghada at consumeraffairs.com
"Had several bad customer experiences at the Tyson's Corner Apple Store. Some of the techs are not well trained and one damaged my Apple Watch. Manager Adam was horrible in responding to my request to repair the watch. After months of trying to reach Apple customer service to resolve this and no response to dozens of emails, I finally gave up and purchased a new watch Series 5 Cellular. After a few months, I started having issues with it—could not hear callers when I answered from the watch."
Mark ashby says"I received the wrong colour"
Former Employee - Service Technician says"Terribly disconnected upper management with no real care for employees, even management at some of the individual stores was atrocious. Terrible pay, not many benefits, and attempts to keep people working full time listed as part time so they didn't have to provide benefits. No chance to move up. Promises of raises that were never delivered to people or ended up being meaningless ($0.30-$0.50 cents/hr increase). Employees were fired for meaningless things to attempt to get others to step in line and work harder to compensate for lost people."
Store Manager (Former Employee) says"I do not recommend this place. Management members have no sense or knowledge. Management even could not explain your pay statement. Threat of firing you on every single small mistake. Called me silly person and abused me for small mistake that even could be ignored."
Michael Emmett says"I ordered through this store given the fact they advertise next day delivery if ordering before 1:30pm. At the time the site displayed no notifications that they were experiencing delays due to COVID19 nor at any point during the order process was there notifications that delays could be experienced. Only that the product would come the next day. After ordering (Tuesday) I received no notification that the product would be shipped and only after I sent a follow-up email to my order-notification (Wednesday) did I receive an email that the product would be shipped the next day (Thursday). Given the current climate I gave the company the benefit of the doubt and left it. It's now Thursday and I've received yet another email to say that the product won't be shipped out to me until the next day (Friday). Upon contacting the store via their chat I was told that the store had a banner over the weekend noting delays. I explained that I placed my order on the Tuesday to which I was told that they had taken the banner down after the weekend as they no longer were experiencing delays. I was then told that they had experience high volumes and had to distance due to COVID19 which had caused delays. I explained that this is fine but I had not been notified about this at all and there was no banner or notifications on the site - which meant the conversation just kept going in circles. Rather than taking responsibility and trying to help the guy on the chat just blamed everyone else. Terrible service - I don't even care what the product is like - they don't give a damn about their customers. Given the amount of money I spent you'd think they could give a nominal refund (which is all I asked for). Instead I was offered money back on my next purchase but I'm unlikely to buy a 2nd computer so a pointless offer. I'm now at the Saturday after ordering a 'next day' delivery. Still no product, no attempt to do anything from the store other than try and distract from their bad service by saying I swore and no help from UPS. To be honest I wish I'd gone directly through Apple. At least you know they are reliable and will make an effort to help the customer"
says"The managers don't do anything, delegate everything to everyone else without any type of training or proper structure within the company. The company owes US Bank tons of money and is struggling to make overhead every month. Meanwhile, they choose to stick with selling Apple products which give a 5% margin at best, and stock useless or uninteresting accessories only because it has great margin. They dont believe in giving raises for hard work or because you have been with the company every year and have sold or serviced to thousands, making a lot of money for them. The pay is a joke. You'll start at minimum wage, even as a technician. Apple pays it's sales people at least 11.00 an hour, and their Geniuses at least 16.00 an hour. You never get any new Apple products in your store until weeks after its release, making dealing with customers who want the products pissed off at you for a while. Most of the time you have to send your customers away because we dont stock ____ or dont service ____. I'd highly advise trying to get into Apple if this is what you want to do. Although it is a lot harder to get a position with them, it's worth it. Most of the time they don't even interview you here. I've seen people hired right on the spot just so they have 'warm bodies' because people quit all the time."
Operator (Former Employee) says"Always promote their favourite people if you are straight forward than they don't like to hear their weakness they are worse . They fired me from the store bcoz district manager spent like me and they give my store to the guys whose store is always on Facebook for his poor service so I always slow clap for these people.Worse management in head officeYou will waste your time"
Mark ashby says"I didn't get the correct colour"
Customer Service Representative says"Terrible pay for what is asked of employees, no raise structure to speak of, very confusing and changing company policy, lots of negative reinforcement, horrible HR department, feel unappreciated due to low pay for the job at stake, feel as though knowledge is wasted on low wage, HORRIBLE bonus structure; designed to cheat employees out of a bonus rather than reward them with a bonus"
Assistant Manager (Former Employee) says"I had been working since 2008 in this company and working every day to make just enough money to survive there was no appreciation from anyone for working for 12 years and they just fired the whole store for stupid reason so I can recommend to work but don't make it your retirement plan job because no respect from anyone for your hard work."

How Difficult is it to Learn HTML5?
What is all the fuss about how difficult it is to learn HTML5? HTML5 is the most current version of HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language), the open standard used to describe web pages. Being the latest of a language standard, it introduces new ways of doing things while some things which were done in a certain way are now done differently.
These are rightfully the ingredients for a recipe for panic and confusion. No one wants to venture out of their comfort zone in how they have been doing things. So, should this new most current standard be a cause for concern? Hardly not.
It is All in the Mind
It is all about how you perceive the challenge ahead of you. The learning curve of HTML5 is relatively simple. There is a perceived notion that there is more to HTML5 than meets the eye and with all the promotional talk about it, there is no surprise at how difficult one may think it is to learn HTML5.
Modern websites are getting more animated, dynamic and more intelligent. They are able to respond based on the users' preferences as well as location of the user, time of the day as well as other factors. HTML5 introduces the ability for web browsers to become the foundation for web applications.
All this might be a little bit too much to swallow for someone with a background in traditional websites or for beginner web designers. Getting up to speed would therefore be highly dependent on my next point.
Your Attitude and Determination
The next thing that will affect your ability to learn HTML5 is your general attitude and your determination towards the whole process. I guess this is the same with anything you want to learn and HTML5 is no exception.
If you are not ready to read adequately and do substantial amounts of practice exercises all the while being patient, you will not go very far in your quest to successfully learn HTML5. If you plan on relying on copying and pasting other people's code, your determination will definitely turn into frustration and eventually failure.
The Process
The easiest way to learn HTML5 is to get a copy of the HTML5 standards specifications and documentation of what is new and what is deprecated. Next, take some time to familiarize yourself with the syntax definitions and the tags that make up the language.
Even though there is a lot of technical stuff in the specification, that will not be necessary for you to read as a web developer. Having a general knowledge of the details in the specification can help with your understanding of some of the advanced techniques you may want to use in your web page.
The section of the specification that would most interest you as the web developer is the section, "The elements of HTML." This covers definitions of the tags and their attributes as you would expect to use them.
You will also need to note that these specifications are not in their final form and therefore may change without notice.
Simply reading these documents is not going to make things easy for you. Learning to develop website is just like Math. You require practice. So to get yourself tuned to and familiar with HTML5 you will need to get your hands dirty and start coding web pages using the new tags.
The Reality
By now you should realize that the straightforward answer to how difficult it is to learn HTML5 would be that it is not difficult. This is dependent on the individual and what the user is actually trying to achieve.
HTML5 is not all about the tags. HTML5 supports built-in video and audio without the use of plug-ins. There is also a Canvas for displaying and creating sophisticated 2D graphics as well as drag-and-drop features for dynamic and improved Web application user interfaces.
HTML allows for storage of data on the local computer giving web applications the ability to function even when offline.
These features do tend to complicate things when it comes to HTML5. As it goes beyond the normal conventions that most web developers had become accustomed to. Unfortunately advanced features do not work in a vacuum or as simple elements. They require a third scripting to function.
The built-in video and audio capabilities would still be effective without JavaScript or CSS3.
The Canvas element with the 2D rendering context definitely has he steepest learning curve of any of the HTML5 elements.
So again you may ask. How difficult is it to learn HTML5? The answer is that it is relatively simple for basic usage generally on websites, and quite a challenge for advanced usage in relation to building web based applications as this comes with complexities.
The determining factor is your readiness and willingness to put time into reading the specification and following online tutorials and examples and within a few weeks you should be competent with your HTML5 skills.

i am a sanyo zio owner for 1 year and another grueling year before i can switch it out for something that actually works. the main issue is the signal: i recently got an airvana airrave and that solved my problems for in home signal but not outside. of my family i always have the worst signal, my mom also has a zio but the signal is a tiny bit better i dont know why. my dad's evo always has a decent amount of signal probably because he has a better qualcomm card installed. is there any way to improve my signal outside of home? and also is their a way to overclock this phone beyond 600 mhz cause i have setcpu and thats as far as it goes.
thank you
I think it is the phone itself because i have had mine for almost 2 years and my service sucks. I can't wait until my contract is up because I am going to another company. Sprint has done nothing to better the service that this phone receives. I drop calls all the time
That's unfortunate because you don't understand how to use it's functionabilities. I have had my Zio for 2 years and it works perfectly. As a matter of fact I have stumbled upon many features I was unaware of. 90% of the time if you would just call Customer Service, they can guide you as they have guided me through step by step operations to get the results of Picture taking, videos, 3 way, music, Web browsing and email for Yahoo and Google. This phone is perfect if you just ask you'll learn to use all of it's capabilities and enjoy your phone as I have
Hi can I weighin? I have had the same problems, the airave does help at home with a wifi connection. yet the person cribeat that answered this is obviously had not experienced any of these . glitches. good for him! however, anyway, the zio was pulled a long time ago, because of the software problems and the mergere of sanyo with kyocera company.

Lincoln County Icelandic Lutheran Church
In November of 1879, the Icelandic Settlers organized a congregation. Thirty-two charter members signed the Constitution with annual dues of 50 cents to be paid in two installments. In 1881, the services of Rev. Halldor Briem (a pastor from Iceland) were obtained.
In May of 1884 a building site for a church was decided by the flip of a coin. A structure 30' x 18' x 12' was completed by Kristjan Schrain on July 1, 1884. At the first meeting in the new "Meeting House" plans were made to have debates, speeches and discussions on various subjects.
On May 8,1886, official approval was made with Johann Jonsson to pay one year's taxes on his 160-acre farm in return for a two-acre building site on his farm in Section 20 of Limestone Township. The tax amounted to $13.60. Twelve years later the plot sold for $60.00 and the building for $155.00.
On November 6, 1886, the organization, now called the "Progressive Society", made plans to landscape the grounds and members pledged to donate 170 trees to plant around the Meeting House. Plans also were made to hold a raffle to raise money for chairs. One hundred chairs were purchased for $44.00, plus $2.00 for hauling from Minneota.
In December, 1888 the organization was again renamed the "Reading Society". $30.00 was spent for books, three-fourths to be Icelandic and one-fourth English or Danish. Also in December, 1888 a separate organization was formed which called Rev. N. Steingrimur Thorlaksson. He served until 1895 when he was replaced by Rev. B.B. Jonsson.
In the summer of 1899 a church was built. Rev. Jonsson served as pastor until 1914. During the next four years, the congregation had several pastors; among them were Rev. Fridrik Fredrickson of Iceland and Rev. Runolfur Fjeldstad. In 1918 a call was accepted by Rev. Guttormur Guttormsson, who served until his death in 1956 at which time he was president of the Icelandic Synod.
In the fall of 1922, the church building was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Many church records were also destroyed in the fire. A new structure was built on the same site and dedicated in June, 1925.
Other pastors after Rev. Guttormsson were Rev. Wallace Bergman, Rev. Donald R. Johnson, and Rev. L. Jerome Anderson. When Rev. Anderson left in 1966, due to few members, it was voted to disband and merge with other churches in the area.
Church organizations included a Luther League in the early 1900's. It was replaced by a "Young People's Society" in the early 1920's. The Ladies' Aid was organized on Dec. 17, 1899 with thirteen charter members. They were faithful to the work of the church whenever and wherever needed until the disbanding of the church.

The AU has awarded South Africa the prize for being the best country in Africa in advancing women's economic rights.
It was, however, trumped by Rwanda when it came to political rights for women
African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma announced the awards at the closing ceremony of the AU summit in Kigali, Rwanda.
Algeria and Tunisia were joint winners in the category of social rights. Algeria was the overall winner in all three categories.
South Africa topped a list of 11 countries in advancing women's economic rights. The award was measured by the following indicators: the amount of paternity and maternity leave, employment ratios between men and women, the income gap between men and women, access to credit, land and assets, and property rights.
Algerian, Botswana, Ghana, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Namibia, Seychelles, Zambia, and Zimbabwe also got mentions in this category.
South Africa's ambassador to the AUC, Ndumiso Ntshinga, accepted the award.
In terms of political rights for women, Dlamini-Zuma announced the winner as ""Your gracious host". Rwanda's President Paul Kagame received the award. Rwanda is the only country in the world with more female MPs than male ones, with 64% of the seats.
Dlamini-Zuma said nearly half the AU's member states had made progress in one or more of the categories and hoped more would be done in the next five years.
"There is progress. It might not be as fast as we would like, but there is genuine progress. But what is heartwarming is that every country has something in which it is doing well."
The theme for this year's AU summit was human rights, with a specific focus on women's rights.
