Are you struggling to lose weight even though you are exercising and eating a healthy diet? Research now suggests that sleep quality may have a big role to play when it comes to getting rid of excess body fat.
Although studies have already found that sleep deprivation can make unhealthy foods more desirable and a high quality diet can improve sleep, newer research suggests that sleep has a big role to play when it comes to regulating our weight and levels of body fat.
A 2018 study published in the journal Sleep set out to examine the effect of sleep restriction on body weight, body composition, and metabolism. Researchers recruited healthy sleepers who were considered to be overweight or obese (defined by a Body Mass Index of 25-40). Participants were randomly assigned to a group that underwent calorie restriction for eight weeks or a group that underwent both calorie restriction and sleep restriction.
Calorie restriction to lose weight
For the calorie restriction portion of the study, participants consumed 95 percent of their resting metabolic rate (the number of calories your body needs over the course of one day when at rest). Calories were divided among:
- Breakfast (25 percent)
- Lunch (30 percent)
- Dinner (35 percent)
- Snack (10 percent)
In terms of nutrition:
- 50 percent of calories came from carbohydrate
- 30 percent came from fat
- 20 percent from protein
Lunch and dinner meals were provided to participants. Dietary guidelines were given to participants so they could prepare their own breakfast and snacks.
Participants were given three free days each week. For these free days, no calorie restriction was required — participants could consume what they liked (but were asked to record all food and drink they consumed).
The role of sleep
To test the influence of sleep quality, those in the sleep restriction group were told to restrict the amount of time they spend in bed by 90 minutes for five days each week, and to keep a regular sleep schedule. For the remaining two days, participants could sleep as they pleased.
Researchers measured the sleep duration of participants in this group using actigraphic monitors (medical-grade versions of consumer sleep trackers).
How calories and sleep affect weight loss
The study found that both groups has similar changes in body weight, with participants losing an average of around seven pounds over the eight weeks. However, the proportion of total mass lost as fat was significantly greater among those who did not experience sleep loss.
In other words, less sleep led to less body fat loss. Furthermore, since participants in the sleep restriction group were allowed to sleep as they liked for two days each week, these findings suggest that even catch-up sleep may not be enough to reverse this consequence of sleep deprivation.
Why does sleep deprivation make it harder to burn fat?
Unfortunately, we still don't know for sure! The authors of this study pointed out that previous research has suggested that leptin (a hormone that suppresses food intake) and ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates the appetite) may be affected by sleep. Specifically, sleep deprivation appears to reduce leptin levels and increase ghrelin levels.
What we can take away from this study is that sleep appears to play a big role in how our body regulates weight. If we don't get enough sleep (or get poor quality sleep) we may find it harder to lose body fat and we may be more likely to gain weight.
If you are struggling to lose weight, make sure you are giving sleep the same level of importance as exercise and diet.

Pajamas and Pancakes Birthday Party
Monday July 7, 2014see more by jen
My youngest turned 5 last week and we threw her a small pajamas and pancakes birthday party which turned out to be the easiest, most inexpensive kid party on record for me (around $80 total), so I wanted to share the ideas with you.
At 5 years old, my daughter's preschool friends pretty much are just thrilled to have a play date. Throw in some balloons and cupcakes, and life is really good.
Here are some of the SIMPLE pajamas and pancakes theme ideas that made it extra fun.
Pajamas and Pancakes Invitation
I found this cute pi's and pancakes invitation on Evite's premium line, Postmark under "Kid's Party Invitations."
Note: ours was NOT a sleepover but you can change the copy when you customize. We made it clear in the invitation that girls were to wear their pajamas and it was a drop off party from 10am – 12pm.
Cost: Free (somehow I had credits, I think I got them when Postmark launched?)
Pajamas and Pancakes Party Menu
– Pancakes
– French toast sticks with powdered sugar
– Bacon
– Fruit
My husband was the cook, and prepped these french toast sticks to freeze the night before and baked the morning of. He also made a batch of pancakes and bacon before the party started in the morning so everything was cooked and just needed to be heated prior to serving.
I also ordered donut holes from a local spot because, really, is there anything better than a donut hole?
And who knew that a bunch of 5 year olds would be so crazy for bacon?! We kept hearing "More bacon please!" Just a tip if you through a pajamas and pancakes party, allot for more bacon per kid than you might have originally anticipated!
Cost: $40
Pajamas and Pancakes Decor
Ridiculously easy. Birthday girl and I hit our local Party City and she picked out these Summer Lovin' rainbow plates, cups, napkins and table cover. I found the cute rainbow napkins at Target.
For the centerpieces, I filled 3 mason jars ($1.50 ea at Michael's) and stuck a Dollar Tree silk flower in each.
The morning of, I got a batch of helium balloons filled at my local grocery store and tied one to the back of each chair.
Cost: Approximately $30
Pajamas and Pancakes Games and Activities
Here is where I went Old School. Big time.
Games included:
– Make your own fruit look necklaces (supplies needed: Fruit Loops and string.)
– Duck, Duck Goose
– Musical Chairs
– Balloon dance (basically let a garbage bag full of balloons loose in the living room and let them go crazy.)
Don't underestimate the power of our old childhood games. Girls had SO MUCH FUN.
Cost: $7
Pajamas and Pancakes Party Favors
So I am on the "ban party favors from kid's birthdays" wagon, but we did end up with left over donut holes, so I put those in little baggies to send home with the kids, along with one of the helium balloons.
Cost: Nothing additional.
All in all, a great party. Kids LOVED wearing their jammies, breakfast food is cheap, and birthday girl didn't have to wait the whole day for her party to start.
Thanks for reading!!!
Hi Jen! Cute party! Where did you get the chairs and table? Was it rental?
Brilliant post! Thank you for sharing the party concept. I've got 2 littles who would enjoy this for sure.
I am lucky to have a neighbor who bought that kid table and 10 chairs off Craigslist so I borrow it every time we have a party. Otherwise, you can definitely rent. If you are in OC, http://www.bakerpartyrentals.com has great prices. The kid tables are only I think $8.75 each and kid chairs run about $1.50 each.
loved it all but your comment about banning goodie bags just ended this post on a sour note..I mean really who cares…goodie bag or not to goodie bag…it just doesnt even need to be talked about….it just puts a neg. spin on things and makes something as precious as a childs birthday party feel like a fight between moms who are just so bored they invent things to bicker about…
Such a cute idea!! I love the fruit loops in the mason jar vases!!
Faith – I didn't mean to end it on a sour note – I meant it more in a funny way. But still, nice to use items we already had for the party as favors!
Jen, I thought this post was sweet, start to finish! Such great ideas in a time where we are all working to simplify our lives and still give our kids, and ourselves, great, fun memories – well done!
What a fun party idea! I may do this for my daughter's 7th birthday in February. You never know what the weather will be like on 2/1, so this is perfect. She would love it!

Fun V-Day Gift Ideas
I know that Valentine's Day is a cheesy and made up holiday but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. Here are some amazing and fun handmade gift ideas from Etsy and 1000 Markets.
Instead of flowers that will die in a week, how about a fine art print that she can enjoy all year long. I love this Red Orange Hawaiian Wiliwili tree from 1000 Market's Arlene Salomon. It would look absolutely amazing in my living room. She has lots of images from Hawaii that are both stunning and unique.
This t-shirt is my gift to my darling husband this year. I traded with Pinuppixie for it awhile ago and have been dying to give it to him ever since. I think it is more than appropriate for our relationship and I'm sure we're not alone. She has lots of other kitschy and fun items that would make great gifts for guys or girls.
There are lots of yummy looking treats from food crafter's on 1000 Markets. This lil' bucket of love from asugaraffair can be filled with anything from Chocolate Covered Oreos to Chocolate Chip and Butter Cream Sandwiches.
If you are looking for the traditional gift of jewelry how about something really different like this anatomical tattoo heart necklace from wickedminky. I personally would love it even more than a traditional heart shaped pendant.
If you are looking for something really memorable and personal this original papercut of the two of you by papercutsbyjoe would be perfect. He can also incorporate your names, dates, and anything else you want him to say. I think they would also make a great wedding gift.
Etsy has some great alternatives to the hallmark generic aisle for all your valentine card needs. I love this Obama themed card from time2cre8. And for something really different GingerDead has this great goth card to let him know how your really feel about him!

Heh--i like that anatomical heart one too! I'm with you on V-day--I know it's cheesy, but I still can't help but like it. Still, i prefer the offbeat. I tried to be a bit offbeat with my new "not just puppy love" magnet for v-day, but you've definitely managed to find far more offbeat (enjoyably so!) items here :)

I would punch someone if they gave me an Obama card...but everyone I know knows me better than that. :)
I hate Valentine's day. I don't remember the last time I "celebrated" it. No cards. No dinner. Nada. I don't think I even mentioned it to hubby last year.
Maybe that's why I rarely push my jewelry for Valentine's day. It's hard to get enthusiastic for a day I don't celebrate. lol

The chocolate treats from a sugar affair look great to me! But then, who would not like chocolate on any occasion?

Thanks for including my Obama cards in your post! I'm not even much of a Valentine's Day fanatic (and I doubt that my husband even knows when it is), but it's fun to try to come up with ideas for cards.

About five million people are bitten, attacked, or mauled by dogs every year in the United States. Of those victims, nearly one in five must visit a doctor or go to an emergency room to receive medical care. Contrary to popular belief that focuses on "dangerous" breeds like Dobermans or Rottweilers, any dog is capable of seriously injuring or killing human beings. Not only can dog bite injuries be physically and psychologically difficult, they can also result in a significant financial burden. However, Pennsylvania dog bite victims may recover compensation if the owner's negligence was to blame for the attack.
The Philadelphia dog bite attorneys at The Reiff Law Firm can help you file a personal injury lawsuit or wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of a family member attacked by a dog. We have researched and handled thousands of injury cases since 1979, and support our clients with over three and a half decades of experience. To set up a free and confidential consultation, call The Reiff Law Firm at (215) 709-6940 today.
According to the American Humane Association, there are more than 4.5 million dog bites each year, and while the dog population may be declining, attacks are on the rise. Sadly, many of these attacks are preventable. While injuries can vary in severity, close to 30,000 reconstructive surgeries were performed in 2013 alone to repair dog bite injuries.
Children, the elderly, and postal carriers are the most frequent victims of dog attacks, in fact 50% all injuries associated with dog bites and attacks occur in children. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), dog bites were among the leading causes of nonfatal injury to children between the ages of one to 14 from 2003 through 2012.
Dog bite injuries can vary from mild to severe, and in some grave instances, even cause fatalities. The most common dog bite injuries include:
- Lacerations
- Broken Bones
- Severed Limbs
- Facial Injuries
- Physical Disfigurement
- Permanent Scarring
- Infection
- Permanent Disability
- Death
Dog bites are physically, emotionally, and psychologically traumatic for victims, especially children, and have even been linked to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These psychological burdens can require costly medical treatment and interfere with important parts of daily life like employment and relationships.
Liability and Compensation for Dog Bite Injuries in Philadelphia
In Pennsylvania, dog owners are not responsible for dog bites, unless they knew, or had reason to know, of their dog's deliberately violent nature. Under PA law, dogs are seen as domesticated animals, so they are deemed harmless, unless otherwise indicated by a vicious tendency or past history of attacks.
Dog owners, are legally obligated to restrain, control, or take other safety precautions, in order to prevent harm, if they have any indication that their dog may be a physical threat. If a dog is not secured on a leash, properly secured on their owner's premises, or under reasonable control, the owner can be held liable by a state court, for any unprovoked attack.
There are also laws in effect, in which dog owners may be charged with 'harboring a dangerous dog', if their dog has a propensity to violence, has a history of unprovoked attacks, or has been used in a crime. Landlords, may be liable if they knew of the dog's vicious nature or dangerous history.
As the innocent victim of a dog bite or dog mauling in Pennsylvania, you may be able to entitled to damages, for your injuries, pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost income, and other related expenses,. In one instance, we were able to recover $50,000 for our client's child who was bitten and permanently scarred by a dog bite. The dog in this case had never bitten anyone prior to this incident. Our legal team is highly experienced in handling dog bite liability claims and understand the physical, emotional, psychological, and financial difficulties they can often lead to.
Establishing liability can be complicated by factors like the dog's previous bite history and the severity of the injury. It is important to contact the experienced Philadelphia dog bite lawyers at The Reiff Law Firm to handle your injury so that you don't have to navigate the legal complexities on your own. We have the knowledge, dedication, experience, and compassion to help you fight for justice and fair compensation.
We do not recommend trying to settle a dog attack directly with the dog's owner or their insurance company. Insurance companies are known for trying to settle injury claims out of court, so the compensation they offer may not always have your best interests fully in mind. Often, insurance companies will offer to pay far less compensation to a victim of an attack, than the money they may have been awarded had they worked with an attorney. Furthermore, as a dog attack victim you may have to involve your own health insurance company, which can add frustration and anxiety to an already stressful situation. At The Reiff Law Firm, we strive to ease our clients emotionally while helping them navigate their liability claims.
Contact Our Philadelphia Dog Bite Lawyers
If you were seriously injured by a dog bite, attack, or mauling, or if someone you loved passed away due to their injuries, we may be able to help you recover compensation. To arrange for a confidential case evaluation completely free of charge, call the law offices of The Reiff Law Firm at (215) 709-6940 or contact us online today.

New Release: JoJo Featuring Wiz Khalifa - F*ck Apologies.
This is my new banger and I am so glad that it has a music video for me to review too. It is a timeless anthem that will definitely be something I'd constantly listen to even if I am actually sorry for something I've done. This marks the return of JoJo, especially with her new album on the way, which will be called Mad Love, and will include this song as it is the first single from the said album. JoJo performs with her natural flair, she isn't apologising for no reason and especially when she doesn't mean it.
JoJo, real name Joanna Levesque, has been finally making her comeback in the music industry, after a legal battle with her now previous record label. Finally out of her contract, she signed a new one and has been releasing new music since last year, including the incredible tringle of singles "When Love Hurts", "Say Love" and "Save My Soul". She's back and it's looks like it's going to be a solid return! Featured star is Wiz Khalifa, real name Cameron Thomaz, has dipped in and out of hits, most notable for number one single "See You Again", he will always be a prominent rapper. This song was written by Joanna Levesque, Taylor Parks and Cameron Thomaz.
Directed by Francesco Carrozzini, this music video is a pure performance visual with snapshots of extras who have nothing to apologise for, although society might think otherwise.
It easily relates to the song, removing shade and highlighting pride. Everyone is different in their own ways and they have nothing to apologise for, being different is not wrong whatsoever.
JoJo really takes a stance on this overall, working with the video and even getting into a pool naked. To do so is completely brave, and yet she has nothing to apologise for. She does what she wants now, especially after being released from her previous contract. She has freedom, and her fans are following her more than ever, helping to promote her any way we can.
As for Wiz Khalifa, he's rap shines in the song, and the visual does the exact same thing. Smoky and hazy, he puts on a performance that stuns, he means every word of that rap just like JoJo means every word of the song. This is why he will always have a career.
Overall, it's a great performance piece from JoJo, which is totally nothing new from her. As for the side clips, it's freeing to see so many people not caring and not apologising for who they are and what they do. Everyone should have the freedom to be themselves, to be able to show themselves to the world without hatred, without criticism and without apologies.

"When Phil Weiser told me he was running for Attorney General, I was really happy. I mean, really happy; I can't wait for him to be in this role. Phil is a special leader, a brilliant and amazing lawyer, and a champion of women's rights and equal rights – the type of advocate women need from our Attorney General's office.
Having worked with Phil during his time as Dean at the University of Colorado Law School, I know that his leadership on gender equity issues will be truly impactful. As a past President and longtime active member of the Colorado Women's Bar Association, I don't remember a law school Dean taking such an active role in partnering with us and supporting our mission to advance women in the profession the way Phil did as Dean. Among other things, Phil brought me to the law school to speak several times, including with the Women's Law Caucus and at a Dean's Leadership Luncheon; he brought together members of our legal community to examine a range of important challenges women face in the workplace, facilitating and participating in several programs personally; and he promoted women as speakers, panelists, presenters, and leaders.
Like so many women lawyers and law students, I have benefited personally from Phil's support. Phil generously nominated me for the "Ms. JD" organization's national Sharing Her Passion award, which I received. He supported my work as head of the Women's Bar and he has supported me during my career. What's amazing is how many other women he has taken time to support personally as well. As our next Attorney General, Phil's commitment to fight for equal treatment in the workplace, to make the AG's office a model workplace with respect to diversity and inclusion, and to spearhead best practices around supporting women in our legal and business community will make a big difference.
I encourage you to spread the word about Phil's candidacy and the many reasons—including his commitment to gender equity and leadership on women's issues—that he will make a tremendous AG for Colorado."

Our cats and kittens are on a mission to keep Melburnians warm; to defrost this city, one hooman at a time.
The felines – dubbed Purr Agents – are available to adopt for no fee (cats) or half price (kittens) until 31 July 2017.
The Purr Agents are tasked with making sure no lap is without warmth and no human without a snuggle buddy.
We want to deploy as many Purr Agents as possible into homes across Melbourne, so we're waiving the fee to adopt a cat and halving the fee to adopt a kitten – down to $90 – this July.
With their warm fur and soothing purrs, a cat or kitten will help keep you cosy all winter. But, they will give you love and companionship for the rest of their lives.
All cats and kittens adopted from the Home are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, flea treated and wormed, which is all included in the adoption fee.
Visit the Purr Agents Headquarters at our North Melbourne shelter today! Your Purr Agent awaits, and their mission starts with you.

I know I'm late to catch on to the latest cultural trends, since I don't have a TV or live in the States. But in case some readers are even more clueless than I am, I wanted to share a few videos I recently became aware of.
The first is the short film for Common's song Black America Again, from the album of the same name. It's directed by Ava Duvernay, perhaps the hottest director around right now.
Speaking of Common and Ava Duvernay, I finally saw the video for the song Glory, which I know was a big deal a few years ago, but again, I don't get out to the movie theater that much. So I still haven't seen Selma, but I'd like to.
In the meanwhile, one Duvernay film I do intend to see is the documentary 13th, about the criminal justice system. It's available on Netflix, so this one I will actually have access to.

Project Implicit: Harvard Website Tests Your Racial Preferences
Race is still a sensitive topic in much of the world. And while most of us may like to think of ourselves as not being biased, a test designed by Harvard University, the University of Virginia, and the University of Washington looks to reveal what we might feel subconsciously.
It's called "Project Implicit" and it's an online test that takes about 10 minutes to complete (I just finished it). According to the site, the goal is to "examine thoughts and feelings that exist either outside of conscious awareness or outside of conscious control." The test starts by asking you about your race, and any biases that you may possess – as a Caucasian male, it asked me about my feelings and preferences towards white and black people. Then, you're shown a series of pictures of white/black faces and good/bad words. You need to then associate those pictures and words with white/black and good/bad on the right and left of your screen.
As the test progresses, words will get swapped around, for example, putting "White People" and "Bad Words" on the same side and vice versa. The idea is that if this becomes tricky, it might mean you have a preference for one race or the other. Personally, I felt this seemed like a bit of an exercise in hand-eye coordination more than anything else, but I can see what the researchers are getting at.
At the end, you get some interesting perspective on what preferences you might have based on how you answered the questions. I'm not convinced the results aren't going to be quite similar for most everyone that takes it, but if you're bold enough to share your own findings, let us know how it goes in the comments.

Divi Slick Slider/Carousel Module Plugin
This weeks plugin is a Divi version of the excellent 'Slick' jQuery plugin written and released by Ken Wheeler. I have converted a lot of the options into a nice little Carousel plugin for Divi/Extra (Divi Builder based sites). I've written some custom layouts for the slides and integrated style selectors. I'll do a video on it later this week on Elegant Marketplace as usual. For those who would like to read up on it and see more screenshots please see the product page here

Hi Sean, I have the ET Slick Carousel modules loaded as a plugin on my WordPress site and I see nowhere a possibility even in the Divi Builder an make any adjustment. What did I do wrong?. I need your help please. Excuse my bad English. Kind regards Ulamae from Germany
- Yellow canary on June 19, 2016 at 3:31 am
Hi Sean, I have just purchased your plugin. It looks promising.
I want to use it to make a carousel of testimonials. Please take a look at this image:
So (in fact) I want to place three modules (testimonials) in this carousel module. Is this possible? If yes, please explain. Thanks in advance!
- Sondra Barker on July 9, 2016 at 5:24 am
Hi do you have a video demo on this, I would like to use a carousel slider for my blog posts. Will I be able to post the image, type in the title, and add a read more button?
- Matt on July 29, 2016 at 2:43 pm
Is it possible to change the number of carousel items based on viewport/device? I.e. Show 4 desktop, 2 in mobile states etc?
- bramvanast on August 27, 2016 at 10:58 am
I just puchased this module/plugin. How can I have a hover effect (opacity) on an image?
- streetwitch on November 22, 2016 at 9:44 am
HI, I need a carousel of audio modules rather than images – can your plugin do this?
- aniko on December 8, 2016 at 7:52 pm
Hi Sean,
I purchased your module but cannot figure out how to create the carousel showing thumbnail images instead of dots underneath the actual image.
Sorry for my ignorance, can you please help?
- BRYAN R DIAS on January 18, 2017 at 8:22 pm
Hi Sean – I have this plugin and am looking to create a post (category) driven slider. The only two modules I see are the SB Slick Carousel and the SB Slick Carousel (WooCommerce.) Unless I am missing something, the Slick Carousel seems to only allow me to build from slides. Is there a way (or something missing) where I can select a post category(s) to generate the slider content? I am trying to find something similar to the "Extra" theme's Carousel Post Slider module. Thanks, man!
- Masha on February 3, 2017 at 11:34 pm
Hi. I love your plugin! It works great as an image carousel. However, I can't get it to work with featured woocommerce products. It doesn't seem to pull anything into the page. What can I do?
- Natasha on February 7, 2017 at 5:19 pm
Hi, is there a way to change the image size? The carousel makes them so small. Also, is there a way to crop them the same size (similar how metaslider does "smart crop") Thanks.
- Timmy on March 9, 2017 at 1:05 pm
Hi Sean – I have the latest version of this plugin and am looking to create a post (category) driven slider. I'm trying to use the Slick Loop Archive to do this but cannot for the life of me figure it out. Unless I am missing something, Is there a way where I can select a post category(s) to generate the slider content? I am trying to find something similar to the "Extra" theme's Carousel Post Slider module just like BRYAN R DIAS.
- timmy on March 9, 2017 at 1:20 pm
Thanks sean I'll have a look now and get back to you if I need any more help.

Well its time for another new challenge at Southern Girls Challenge, how time is flying. The girls have come up with the fabulous theme of 'Sweet Treats', gee that really could be anything couldn't it. At this time of year its nice to create some small gift boxes containing small bits and pieces, and of course homemade sweets.
This one I have here was given to the owner of a small curio shop, who gave me a fabulous deal on some old doilies and pearls (who doesn't like a little extra 'thank you' gift sometimes?). She was completely gobsmacked and again gave me another great deal.
We have a 'garage sale' for the local hospice coming up in the next few weeks and if time permits I hope to make more of these to put on the sales table. As long as the price is reasonable I'm sure they'll sell like hotcakes.
Thank you for visiting. I hope I have inspired you into making some of your own gifts, afterall nothing tastes better than homemade does it?

Samsung Announces Plans for iPad Challenger
Samsung is the next consumer electronics manufacturer to come out swinging against Apple's iPad. A senior executive confirmed plans to release a "slate PC" during the second half of this year.
The key differentiating points for this tablet will address what Samsung feels are two major shortcomings of the iPad: lack of processing power and not enough connectivity options.
"I do feel that that slate-type platform has legs but I think the legs need to be far more powerful, for example an Atom-based product which has far greater flexibility, not to mention inputs and outputs," said Director of Samsung Australia's IT division Philip Newton at the Samsung Forum in Singapore. "This has more potential than an iPad."
The goal is to build a device powerful enough to become the primary computing machine for many people. The ARM chip that powers Apple's iPad was deemed not powerful enough to make the tablet form factor truly shine; hence Samsung reports that it is looking at two platforms from Intel to power the unnamed device: Atom or the Moorestown System on a Chip.
The slate will be a device "you could take to university and do a PowerPoint presentation on it, for example, or a device that could be taken home or to the office and docked," Samsung's Emmanuele Silanesu said .
Samsung is no stranger to the "in-between smartphone and laptop" zone, having released the Q1 ultra-mobile PC (pictured above right) back in 2006. Silanesu assures us that the forthcoming new tablet will have a much stronger focus on the consumer market than the Q1, which "was a very niche product for a vertical market... It was limited (in functionality), the price was relatively high, and it wasn't an attractive device for consumers."
It's not terribly much to go on yet, but how do you think Samsung's planned device might stack up against the other crop of iPad alternative hopefuls? Are you interested in some flavor of tablet device, and if so, what features should it have?

Ceravision has been producing a lamp system they call Ecolumination. Using microwaves to supply the energy, they focus the power into a small quartz or ceramic bulb. The company explains that because they are electrode-less, they last longer, while the technology provides high quality, energy efficient light.
Last month they worked their technology into the headlights of a BMW racecar and took it out for a fast test spin. They ran the test at Silverstone, the home of the British F1 Grand Prix.
Tim Reynolds, Ceravision's CEO, explains:
"The automotive project was conceived to demonstrate the effectiveness of Ceravision's Ecolumination lamps in the extreme environment of motor sport. Under test conditions on the Silverstone circuit, the headlights showed significantly lower energy usage than that of current headlamps or the projected savings from future LED lights."
The company is now seeking partners to bring the headlights rapidly to market. You can check out more of the tech, here.

WES Landscape Architecture: The redesign of the Altmarkt, Dresden's oldest square, was subject to a multifaceted and complex requirement profile: the integration of a tram stop and an underground parking facility with 468 parking spaces into the area of the square, as well as the restructuring of the adjacent pedestrian areas. An urban, representative and multifunctional town plaza has emerged – an inner city "stage" with a high quality of stay. The design concept has been consistently attuned to fit the changeful history of the plaza. Five water basins, in which the brightly-lit arcades are reflected, mark what was originally the historic border of the Altmarkt square. The natural stone blocks, which each have a relief worked into the upper side, make an appealing sculptural volume, even without water.

Recently, Radical Ducati have shared the pictures of a new BMW based build with a bold name "Interceptor". This, as they say, was "a joint venture between Radical Ducati and Max Boxer". The bike's built around modified and reinforced BMW R80 ST frame and powered by R100 engine.
A paralever 17″ rear wheel has been modified to fit a monolever swingarm with an R100RS bevel box. The frame was raised up to ensure a better ground clearance.
The engine comes with a pair of Dell'Orto PHM 40 carbs, equipped with MWR air filter pods. To provide some more nimbleness and make it a pure racing bike, the guys performed a gearbox revision and made the required racing adjustments.
The front end comes mostly from Ducati: Ducati Sport Classic fork, Ducati Monster yokes, Ducati Sport Classic spoked 17″ front wheel with Monster 900 rotors. Master cylinder and calipers are from Monster 900 and Classic Sport respectively. The front wheel's covered by carbon fiber RAD fender.
A modified bulky Laverda fuel tank is continued by reworked carbon fiber RAD 02 Montjuich solo seat. Pantahstica front fairing, with the cuts for Tomaselli clip-ons, was mounted on the front. The bike has been fitted with SuperMario 2 in 1 exhaust system with the muffler peering under the seat.
The painting and the whole design of the "Intercepter" are just amazing. This is one stunning build. I'd give it the best marks.
Find more specs and pics of the bike on the Radical Ducati website.

Prop Trevor Nyakane has been dumped from the South Africa squad for missing flights and a video session, the national rugby union announced Sunday.
A statement said the 24-year-old forward would miss the trip to Argentina for a Rugby Championship match on August 24 because of "repeated breaches of team protocol".
And a tweet from the official Springbok rugby account shed greater light: "No great scandal folks. Breach of protocol in Trevor's case means missing flights and video session."
Nyakane was among 30 players chosen for home and away Tests against the Pumas at the start of the annual southern hemisphere rugby championship that includes title-holders New Zealand and Australia.
But the prop from Bloemfontein-based Super 15 outfit the Cheetahs did not make the matchday 23 in the 73-13 rout of Argentina at Soccer City stadium in Soweto this weekend.
The 118-kilogram forward rose to prominence as an second-half impact player for his province and won his first Springboks cap against Italy last June as a replacement.
Nyakane also came off the bench against Scotland and Samoa in other four-nation tournament games and is considered a long-term challenger to tighthead incumbent Jannie du Plessis.
Coach Heyenke Meyer has replaced Nyakane with uncapped Lourens Adriaanse in his 26-man touring squad while Piet van Zyl takes the place of unavailable scrum-half Fourie du Preez.
Japan-based Du Preez, who came off the bench this weekend after a two-season absence, has been freed by Suntory Sungoliath only for the three South African home fixtures in the Championship..
Nyakane, injured hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle, full-back Zane Kirchner, centre Juan de Jongh, Du Preez and lock Franco van der Merwe drop out of the original 30-strong squad.
"We are allowed to travel with only 26 players and it was difficult to leave out a few of our squad members," Meyer admitted before the Springboks flew to South America Sunday.
"The players that stay behind will benefit from game time in the Currie Cup and will certainly be in the selection frame when we select the squad for Australia and New Zealand."
Despite the 60-point triumph against the Pumas, South Africa will be wary of facing them in western city Mendoza, where they snatched an undeserved 16-16 draw last season.
Backs: Bjorn Basson, JJ Engelbrecht, Bryan Habana, Patrick Lambie, Ruan Pienaar, Willie le Roux, Jan Serfontein, Morne Steyn, Jano Vermaak, Jean de Villiers (capt), Piet van Zyl

Society's overall perceptions of escorts include the image of a drug-addled, runaway who performs sex acts for money. People seem to think they lack values and morals and have low personal opinions of themselves.
Far and wide, rscorts are intelligent, beautiful, entrepreneurs who rely on their skills and talents to provide companionship for those who seek it in exchange for generous compensation. However, just like all other slices of the world population, many ARE plagued by addictions and problems that are exacerbated by their careers. Continue reading

A series of bomb blasts targeting Christians in Baghdad has killed at least three people and injured two dozen more, security sources have said.
At least 14 roadside bombs were detonated and a mortar round was fired in Christian districts across the Iraqi capital last night and early this morning.
An interior ministry source told Reuters that the attacks were a "continuation" of the massacre at Our Lady of Salvation church which killed dozens of worshippers last week.
According to one report, today's bombings targeted the family of one of the victims of the massacre.
The Islamic State of Iraq – an al-Qaeda front group – claimed responsibility for the Baghdad church attack and warned in a message published on militant websites that more attacks would follow. "We will open upon them the doors of destruction and rivers of blood," the statement said.
The latest bombings follow protests by Iraqi Christians in Sweden, Australia, Britain, the Netherlands, Germany and America who urged the Iraqi government to do more to protect the country's minorities.
About 300 protesters at the "Black March" in London called on Britain to remember its historic debt to Iraq's Aramaic-speaing Assyrian Christians, who fought alongside Britain in two world wars.
Two Christians were also reported to have been murdered on Sunday.

(AP Photo/Julie Jacobson) (Newser) – Tea Party activists are right to be angry, writes Dana Milbank—but that anger should be directed at their own supposed leaders. Ordinary citizens are being manipulated by deep-pocketed "plutocrats" and "professional politicians" like those at FreedomWorks, he writes at the Washington Post. And before you follow Glenn Beck's advice to donate to the mom-and-pop Chamber of Commerce, note that its board includes the likes of Pfizer, JPMorgan Chase, Dow Chemical, and Rolls-Royce. story continues below Also look at the personal fortunes and college pedigrees of some of the politicians taking biggest advantage of the movement. "There is genuine populist anger out there," writes Milbank. "But the angry have been deceived and exploited by posers who belong to the same class of 'elites' and 'insiders' that the Tea Party movement supposedly deplores. Americans who want to stick it to the man are instead sending money to the man." (Read more Tea Party stories.)

Show remote interest in stimulating toys
IN THE first of a two-part series we look at ideal remote-control toys for toddlers and young children, focusing on the educational and play values.
From just a few weeks of age children are fascinated with things that move, following the actions of parents, siblings, the family pet, even leaves blowing in the wind.
It is an interest that grows as they do and as toddlers they will follow things with glee running, jumping and dancing as they try to imitate people, animals and objects.
Kids love to move things with their hands and feet, relishing the feeling they get of affecting something despite their size.
Age-specific remote-control toys are excellent in aiding with developing motor skills.
Remote-control toys first rose to popularity in Germany in the 1960s and for many decades were confined to cars only. They were also called radio-controlled cars because radio signals are used to control the movement of the toys.
You have the option of wired or wireless.
Remote-control toys generally are battery or electrically powered, with some models for older kids and adults powered by fuel.
Think simple, colourful and unbreakable. Most littlies don't have the fine motor skills or co-ordination or even the focus to operate complicated dials and buttons.
But simple remote-control toys help with hand-eye coordination and problem-solving while the accompanying lights and sounds can stimulate the senses.
Of course these days remote-control toys are not confined to cars. There is a variety of options including planes, trains, boats and even animals, for girls and boys.
Let your child's interests be your guide to investing in a cheap and cheerful moveable train set (GeoTrax Remote Control Timbertown Railway, from $60) for example if he or she has a love for trains and likes being a conductor or a driver. Add their other little toys to the mix like small animals and buildings to increase interest.
If trains are not their thing how about a remote-control truck (Giggler, $11) or perhaps the Letterland School-Remote Control bus ($34.99) or even a girly offering from My Little Pony ($24.99).
Young children
Kids over three have better control over their fingers and greater success at moving something to where they want it to be.
This is an exciting age because not only can remote-control toys help with co-ordination and reflexes but they also can initiate an interest in science and technology.
They can learn how gears work, how the radio frequency is transmitted as well as learning direction and how to perform more complicated manoeuvres.
Remote-control toys that can be used outside (Eztec Radio Control Kawasaki ATV, $39) also help to keep children stimulated and in the fresh air.
Toys for this age group cost anything from $20 to $1000, but remember that these kids are still little and would be better suited for remote-control toys that are manufactured to toy grade not hobby grade.
They need toys that are durable, easy to operate and reasonably inexpensive.
Consider whether it is battery-operated and if not how long it needs to charge for.
Check the joystick is not too stiff for little fingers, the size of the vehicle, that it is easy to maintain and whether there are small parts that may fall off and become a choking hazard.
Like with toddlers the range includes, cars, boats and planes, but you can also add remote-control toys to match your favourite superhero (Superman, Man of Steel interactive and remote control, $79) or movie, as well as off-road (Bad Street Jeep, $98) and military-styled vehicles (Remote Control German Tier 1 and US M4 Sherman tanks, $99).

Four women who have been romantically involved with New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) have come forward with accusations that he physically abused them, according to accounts published by The New Yorker on Monday.
Two of the women, Michelle Manning Barish and Tanya Selvaratnam, told the outlet that Schneiderman, 63, "repeatedly hit them, often after drinking, frequently in bed and never with their consent," forcing them to seek medical attention. Manning Barish recounted Schneiderman "shaking me and grabbing my face," demanding that she repeat lines such as "I'm a little whore," and threatening her that "If you ever left me, I'd kill you."
Late Monday, just hours after the report came out, Schneiderman resigned.
"It has been my great honor and privilege to serve as Attorney General for the people of the State of New York," Schneiderman said in a statement. "In the last several hours, serious allegations, which I strongly contest, have been made against me. While these allegations are unrelated to my professional conduct or the operations of the office, they will effectively prevent me from leading the office's work at this critical time."
The women who spoke to The New Yorker said they were motivated to share their stories after witnessing Schneiderman become a vocal advocate against sexual misconduct during the rise of the Me Too movement in recent months. His efforts to combat abuse, including by filing a civil rights lawsuit against disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein, have received wide praise from women's organizations.
Prior to his resignation on Monday, Schneiderman had tweeted, "In the privacy of intimate relationships, I have engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity. I have not assaulted anyone. I have never engaged in nonconsensual sex, which is a line I would not cross."
Still, fellow politicians called on him to resign. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said, "No one is above the law, including New York's top legal officer."
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) stated, "The violent actions described by multiple women in this story are abhorrent. Based on this extensive and serious reporting, I do not believe that Eric Schneiderman should continue to serve as Attorney General. There should be a full and immediate investigation into these credible allegations."
Schneiderman's relationships with Manning Barish and Tanya Selvaratnam reportedly occurred between 2013 and 2017. The New Yorker also vetted similar accounts from two other women who chose to remain unidentified.
Manning Barish accused Schneiderman of being emotionally abusive, describing his attempts to control her body by demanding she remove a tattoo and lose weight. Selvaratnam described similar interactions, calling Schneiderman "a misogynist and a sexual sadist." Like Manning Barish, she said he had choked her. She also alleged that his violence became worse after President Donald Trump won the presidency because Schneiderman was angry he wouldn't have a chance at a role in the White House.
Selvaratnam, who was born in Sri Lanka, said Schneiderman would sometimes request she call him "Master" and slap her until she did. "He started calling me his 'brown slave' and demanding that I repeat that I was 'his property,'" she told The New Yorker.
Schneiderman was a state senator from 1998 to 2010 and has built a reputation as a champion of women. He notably advanced legislation to protect women from domestic abuse, including sponsoring the Anti-Strangulation Act in 2010.
Weeks ahead of The New Yorker's bombshell report, Schneiderman tweeted his accolades to the outlet and The New York Times for their Pulitzer Prize-winning reports on sexual misconduct in Hollywood, politics, media and tech.
Over the last year or so, the New York attorney general has repeatedly opposed President Donald Trump, with his office reportedly filing at least 100 legal or administrative actions against the Trump administration ― from challenging the travel bans to suing to protect women's access to birth control.
This story has been updated with news of Schneiderman's resignation.

Black Panther continues to rule Hollywood — and, for that matter, the world; it has now earned $905 million at the global box office after only three weeks of release. With $506.4 million of that total earned here in the States, it now stands as the ninth-highest-grossing film in U.S. history. With little competition on its immediate horizon, that sum should only continue to grow in the coming weeks — although it's not the sole arena in which Ryan Coogler's Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster is reigning, as confirmed by a new craze sweeping social media.
The M'Baku Challenge (#MBakuChallenge) involves people reciting the speech given by Winston Duke's M'Baku shortly before he engages in ritual combat for the Wakandan throne against Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa. And it has become such an immediate hit that Duke himself has already chimed in, encouraging more people to post videos of themselves trying to live up to his performance:
The #Mbaku challenge is killing me !! Keep them coming-O!!!. #BlackPanther https://t.co/H43rBWeOq3

I don't know about the rest of you, but ever since David Blumenthal left ONC he's had plenty of interesting things to say. I think he's still somewhat cautious, but you can tell he's given himself more freedom to comment on the state of EHR software and how it could be improved.
One example of this was in Andy Oram's writeup of David Blumenthal's speech in Boston a little while back. Here's one section of Andy's write up that really hit me (emphasis mine):
Perhaps Blumenthal's enthusiasm for putting electronic records in place and seek interoperability later may reflect a larger pragmatism he brought up several times yesterday. He praised the state of EHRs (pushing back against members of the audience with stories to tell of alienated patients and doctors quitting the field in frustration), pointing to a recent literature survey where 92% of studies found improved outcomes in patient care, cost control, or user satisfaction. And he said we would always be dissatisfied with EHRs because we compare them to some abstract ideal
I don't think his assurances or the literature survey can assuage everyone's complaints. But his point that we should compare EHRs to paper is a good one. Several people pointed out that before EHRs, doctors simply lacked basic information when making decisions, such as what labs and scans the patient had a few months ago, or even what diagnosis a specialist had rendered. How can you complain that EHRs slow down workflow? Before EHRs there often was no workflow! Many critical decisions were stabs in the dark.
Lots of interesting discussion points there, but the one I take away from it is that there's no such thing as the perfect EMR. Blumenthal is dead on that many doctors have this abstract ideal of what an EMR should be and it will never be that way. Certainly there are benefits to implementing an EMR, but there are also some challenges to using an EMR as well. No amount of programming and design are going to ever change that.
I wish I could find a description I read 4-5 years ago from an EHR vendor talking about the doctors they liked to work with. In it they described that they liked working with doctors who had reasonable expectations of the EHR implementation. They wanted to work with doctors who wanted to go electronic. They wanted to work with clinics that understood that some change was required as part of any IT implementation. From what I can tell, that EHR vendor has basically done just that.
Reminds me of trying to force my kids to do something they don't want to do. Never seems to end well. Instead, it's a much more satisfying experience for all when I help them understand why we're doing what we're doing. They still don't like some of the details in many cases, but at least they understand the purpose for what we're doing.
As long as doctors cling to some abstract ideal of EMR perfection, no EMR vendor will ever be able to satisfy them. A perfect EMR is not reasonable. Just because an EMR doesn't offer everything that you could dream, doesn't mean it's not an incremental improvement over what you're doing today.
Don't let the quest for perfection get in the way of incremental improvement. Perfection is more nearly obtained through many incremental improvement than giant leaps.

SEO, or "search engine optimization", means setting up your website so that it is as high as possible in the search engine rankings. Because search engine rankings are key to driving traffic and sales, SEO has become a very popular service. Some people treat SEO as rarefied knowledge that no ordinary person can learn. These people are, of course, talking nonsense.
Change from AP to SEO style, in order to improve the quality of your site's search engine optimization. Switching to a SEO writing style means including keywords as naturally as possible throughout your writing. As search engine rankings are built off the presence of keywords, your content will shine if you pay close attention to the words you use.
You need to put some thought into the anchor text you use for internal website links. Do not just put "click here" because this will not do anything for SEO. If you use the correct keywords in your anchor text, search engine spiders will be able to locate your content quickly.
Interesting meta tags on each web page can help improve your search engine results. These description tags are a great value, as they are easy to add and improve ranking. It is important to write meta tags which are short but informative. A cleverly worded meta tag should get more traffic to your site even if it happens to be ranked lower in the search engines.
Hosting your blog on your own site can actually improve your search engine ranking. Of course the end result of that will be more visitors to your website.
Your website should be accessible to a wide variety of audiences. Obviously you want to obtain higher rankings so your website has to be simple, clear and easy to use. Functions that allow bold, enlarged fonts should also be used to attract the reader's eyes. You should find a balance to appeal to readers and to search engines.
Be sure you register your site on all the key search engines. It is common assumption that this just happens automatically. It pays to check these results are still accurate on a regular basis. Regardless of its current position in the rankings, you must check to make sure it is at least able to be found.
Utilize one or two videos to help increase the web presence of your site. You can make use of videos for general introductions or to create video reviews. Post them to your site with keyword-rich labels. After making a video sitemap, submit it using Google Webmaster Tools. Then post the video to various video websites, including Yahoo and YouTube. Relax and watch your hits increase.
Even though search engine optimization is a very complex field in which full-time experts can be found, there is a level at which novices can enter and learn. There are many steps an ordinary person can take to improve their search engine rankings as the article above presented. It may be even easier than you imagined!

Days are passing by and development of Seclusion is still going at full speed. I might not be actively sharing details of the development, but that doesn't mean it's going bad! On the contrary, Seclusion has come a long way in the past year. Instead of going for an early 2016 release, I have decided to improve the game more and provide something I can be proud of. I'd like to think that I've reached that goal.
Story and atmosphere are very important components of Seclusion, so being secretive about what the game has to offer is intentional. With Seclusion Islesbury we are creating an absorbing dark tale that will try to make you feel the loneliness and despair of the protagonist Jason Endel. Hopefully, you will enjoy following him through his journey in the depths of Islesbury.
In the last few weeks, Seclusion Islesbury has reached its beta stage and is being tested for possible improvements and bugs. Many improvements have been made through the feedback we get and this is going to continue until the release.
It's not far anymore. The light has appeared at the end of the tunnel. From now on there will be more updates on the status of the game (for real this time) so don't forget to follow Seclusion Islesbury on Twitter and this blog. If you have any questions, suggestions and/or anything you want to share leave a comment or send a message. In the meantime enjoy some fresh screenshots here!

I said in the previous article that although the fans are essentially simple equipment and principle quite usual, regardless of the size or function of their specific, even in industry there is a tendency to underestimate the importance, enjoying our attention only when their performance is lacking, affecting, sometimes severely, the operation of other equipment. Therefore the calculation of the required air flow and ventilation choosing an industrial fan can be a real challenge, and the wrong choice can lead to its inefficiency. Therefore several principles of operation of fans believe it is useful to be mentioned below.
All fans, especially fans industrial builds, the principle of operation, the production and movement of currents flowing liquid or gas, depending on the environment. In general work environment is the air used either as industrial fans used for cooling of equipment or workspaces, whether they have to evacuate pollutants, dust, fumes or pneumatic conveying bulk materials.
The assembly's main rotor any fan is a profiled wheel which has the effect that by its movement, its kinetic energy to transmit air, setting in motion currents of fluid to be transferred. The principle of movement and action of the rotor is the flywheel. This is a mechanism whose main part is a wheel rotating rotor in our case, the drive stores the kinetic energy. Shaped wheel ensures a high moment of inertia, which opposes changes in rotation, based on the physical property of conservation of angular momentum. I mean a body that rotates around its axis tends to keep the axis of rotation and will oppose a disruptive impulse to another, along an axis perpendicular to the rotation axis and the axis pulse disruptive.
Flywheel's energy is transmitted by applying a torque, which makes the speed to increase progressively storing energy. The energy stored in the flywheel is proportional to the square of the speed of rotation ω2.In further flywheel or rotor, and releases this energy practically applying it a couple working environment, the fluid (air) floated by industrial fan which is driven at a speed so proportional to the square of the speed of rotation, as we saw above. Efficient industrial fan is just on a power calculation, which was reflected especially evident efficiency and ventilation equipment that transmitted the mass of fluid that train.
In this way, the fluid, air or polluted air contaminant, air transport for use as a pneumatic or air cooling benefits of supply with greater power than the power source continues. In other words the energy released by the rotor is multiplied against the power supplied by the engine. A flywheel can store energy to release gradually and suddenly, with great power. And the ratio multiplier depends primarily on the size of the rotor, the flywheel.
At the same time providing guidance of the industrial fan fluid (air) to the mechanical system is considered. The angular momentum of the flywheel is transmitted as torque to the mechanical system. The flywheel is the one that supplies power to its orientation to the desired position, respectively guiding the flow is fluid in the direction and force required for the purpose fan operation (transport heavy particles or less heavy quench maintaining a specified temperature when in space so there is a quasi-constant heat input from another source or to achieve a thermal threshold in a determined time, absorbing gases, vapors or bulk materials, etc.)
