Amazon Launches @Author On Twitter, Connecting Readers To Writers
Those new to Twitter often see the authors they love as just a tweet away – but are soon disappointed at the lack of response to their 1001 questions, usually because said author is too inundated with a steady stream of @mentions to respond to any of them individually.
Amazon is trying to cut out the noise on Twitter and give readers a platform to connect to the authors they adore in a meaningful way. Announced on Thursday, Amazon's @author program allows readers to tweet questions to authors using their Kindle – and actually get a response.
@author is launching in limited beta on both the Kindle and Amazon Author Pages, and features such writers as Timothy Ferriss of The 4-Hour Workweek fame and New York Times writer Susan Orlean (who we interviewed about her Twitter habits a few months ago).
Readers who have made at least one purchase from Amazon can participate in the @author program.
If using a Kindle, the reader can highlight a passage they'd like to ask a particular author about, and then enter their 100-character-or-less question, beginning with @author (i.e. @susanorlean, etc.). If the reader doesn't have a Twitter account connected to the Kindle, he or she will be prompted to create one.
You can also access all of the questions that have been asked, and ask your own, via the web if you don't have a Kindle. You just have to visit the author's page on Amazon by either searching for his or her name or checking out this list of participating authors and clicking on the profile you'd like to visit.
You'll receive an email when your question has been answered.
This is a cool way to interact with authors, in an intersection between Twitter and Amazon.com. Although many of these authors are already active in Twitter as it is, Amazon is bringing together pertinent tweets about their writing, and is making it more likely that those authors will get around to answering your tweet. So what are you waiting for? Ask your favorite authors your most burning questions, and hear the answer straight from them!

The "Made in China" tag is recognizable to nearly every North American. The label is usually sewn into fast-fashion items that consumers have been gobbling up over the past 10 years, often denoting poor quality and harsh working conditions.
Helen Lee is one of China's vanguard designers changing our connotations with the country's role in fashion. Based out of Shanghai, Lee designs high-end, smart, and considered clothing that is proudly made in China. Clean designs rooted in functionality draw comparisons to Phoebe Philo's Céline and classic Jil Sander, paired with unexpected details a la hip American it-girl designers Rachel Comey and Maryam Nassir Zadeh.
The brand is a favourite in the contemporary Chinese woman's wardrobe, and one of the few Chinese designers to be carried in Hong Kong's Lane Crawford. Lee has garnered a good deal of attention in the North American market, as well, most recently showing her Fall/Winter 2016 collection at LA Fashion Week, prompting buys from famed boutique H. Lorenzo. Recently re-located to Vancouver, where her husband is from, Lee has set her eyes on her new home continent.
"I was supposed to be an accountant," Lee laughs, taking a sip from her glass on the sun-soaked patio at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Realizing the profession she went to university for wasn't for her, Lee followed her calling back to school, this time to the Raffles Design Institute at Shanghai's Donghua University. From there, Lee travelled to Japan to work in the fashion business before moving back to Shanghai to start her first label, Insh.
Lee describes Insh as the first clothing line based on the Shanghai lifestyle—combining city-slick wearability with bold prints. "I was using a lot of lifestyle elements, kind of an east mixed with western kind of style," she explains. "The T-shirts, the weight and everything, are simple, easy to wear, but all of the elements—especially the graphics—are very fun and expressive." The resulting label is youthful and vibrant, a reflection of the swiftly changing city.
Eventually, Lee's clients began moving into the office. "All of my customers from Insh were growing up," she says. "They had different working environments: some are becoming managers, and they want something more sophisticated." After custom tailoring office-destined attire for many of her clients, Lee eyed a market that once again hadn't yet been targeted in Shanghai, and launched her premium label Helen Lee in 2011. "The line focuses on the working people: office women who want something unique and not too serious," Lee says. Elements of Insh's cheeky attitude are still present—abstract rabbit motifs dot refined fur coats and silk separates, and casual bomber jackets are paired with blouses matching in pattern. Helen Lee is contemporary day wear, made for the woman who cringes at the thought of dressing "business professional".
And while the garments may boast the "Made in China" tag, Lee works closely with Chinese manufacturers ensure her work is done to the highest quality. All of Helen Lee's patterns and prints are designed by Lee, and it takes great attention and time to assure everything is done to her standards. "We have been working with the factories for many years, but I have to say it's very difficult," she admits. "I had to spend a lot of time and invest a lot for the first few years; you have to make sure they understand the quality and everything." Lee's devotion to craftsmanship and design makes more than a quality garment—it makes a quality industry.

Colored Pencil Palette
As an oil painter I learned early on to create a palette of all my colors as I was using them. It was helpful to create the exact shade or tint that I wanted.
Colored pencils are no different. You can use them lightly to make a tint or press harder to make a shade. You can also take those two colors and add black or white to darken or lighten the color.
Many colorists blend colors when they are coloring and having all your colors in front of you while you color can inspire your creativity.
I myself hadn't colored since my college days. Thank goodness I had a nice range of Prismacolors as they were the top of the line even then. Now there are so many other choices and I will get into those choices in a later article.
For now I wanted to create a "Palette" that anyone could use when they get a new set of pencils or markers to see what the colors look like before you use them.
I am including an actual palette that I created for a cheap set of colored pencils that is a great starter set for anyone who wants to test the waters without a great investment of money.
The set that I purchased was the Sargent Art Colored Pencils a pack of 50. They were $8.29 at the time of my purchase at Amazon. So with the cost of Get Back to Nature you could start a new hobby of coloring for under $20.00. Here is the colored palette for the Sargent set. It shows how it would look lighter with cross hatching and pressing hard to get the darker shade.
Sargent 50 Colored Pencil Palette
I also recommend you get a good pencil sharpener if you don't already have one. This Prismacolor Scholar Pencil Sharpener is only $1.59 at time of writing but it will keep you colored pencils sharp which is necessary when coloring.

When navigating the world of self-directed investing, one of the most important things to understand are the rules governing how you may fund your account. Overfunding your account can get you in trouble with the IRS and incur tax penalties. Underfunding your account can result in missed opportunities and overlooked tax advantages.
Individual retirement accounts may be funded via transfer, rollover, conversion, or IRA contribution. Contributions differ from transfers or rollovers in that they do not involve moving funds from one account to another. Instead, a contribution is a deposit made directly from an individual or their employer into a retirement account. Contributions are also not to be confused with Roth conversions, which involve converting pre-tax cash or assets from a Traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA into a post-tax status with a Roth IRA.
Every year the IRS sets IRA contribution limits based on the type of retirement account and the account holder's age. The 2018 Traditional and Roth IRA contribution limit is $5,500 with a possible $1,000 catch-up contribution for those age 50 and over. The annual deposit threshold will increase to $6,000 in 2019 (with the $1,000 catch-up contribution remaining intact). 2018 SEP IRA contribution limits are the lessor of $55,000 ($56,000 in 2019) or 25% of earned income. Employee contributions to a SIMPLE IRA may not exceed $12,500 in 2018 ($13,000 in 2019) with $3,000 catch-up contributions available to account holders age 50 or above. Visit the IRS website for more information about 2018 and 2019 contribution limits.
These contribution limits apply to all IRAs, including self-directed varieties that hold alternative investment options. "Self-directed IRA" is simply a moniker and not an IRS or legal designation. In other words, an IRA that holds real estate is no different than an IRA that holds stocks from a contribution limit standpoint. All IRS rules that apply to non-self-directed retirement plans also apply to their self-directed counterparts. Also bear in mind that while you may open and fund as many accounts as you want, annual contribution limits apply per person and not per account. For Traditional and Roth IRAs, the $5,500 limit applies across any such plans you hold. For example, if you have two Traditional or Roth IRAs (or one of each), you may contribute $2,000 to one and $3,500 to the other, $5,500 to one and nothing to the other, etc.
Knowing and understanding how to fund your self-directed IRA can help you make the most of your retirement savings and mitigate the risk of tax penalties. While contributions represent just one method of funding your account, they are a key part of your overall retirement strategy.

'Glee' 'Sweet Dreams' Songs – Full Episode List
Following last week's school shooting-themed episode, which drew criticism for being too soon after the Newtown/Sandy Hook tragedy, 'Glee' is back with an all-new ep, dubbed 'Sweet Dreams,' set to air Thursday, April 18 on Fox. It's packed with some killer songs, including an oldie but goodie that Gleeks have seen and heard the cast perform before.
During 'Sweet Dreams,' the New Directions learn that the theme for this year's Regionals is 'Dreams,' so, of course, everyone has passionate opinions about what songs they should sing.
Back in New York, Rachel's audition for the Broadway revival of 'Funny Girl' is finally here. With no NYC action on last week's heavy-hearted ep, this should be a special rendition, especially since Lea Michele is constantly compared to Barbra Streisand, best known as the 'Funny Girl.'
Also, this is not the first time that Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin'' has been performed on the show. The first time was incredibly special, and it is bound to be just as memorable on 'Sweet Dreams.'
Guest stars include NeNe Leakes of 'The New Normal' and 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' fame, as well as Broadway star Idina Menzel, reprising a recurring role she's had throughout the series.
'Glee' 'Sweet Dreams' Songs – Full Episode List
-'Next to Me,' Rachel & Shelby (Emeli Sande)
-'Fight for Your Right (To Party),' Finn & Puck (Beastie Boys)
-'You Have More Friends Than You Know,' Marley, Blaine, Unique, Sam

YMCA Camp Kitaki
Summer Camp Activities
Summer Camp Activities
The activities at camp have all been designed to be used as tools. Tools to teach skills, including hard skills like archery, and soft skills like making friends. They have been designed to impart values, by the honesty used in games like Gaga to the responsibility of seen in groups cleaning up after their crafts time. The activities have also been designed to be age appropriate and progressive, meaning going to the lake when you are 8 is way different than going to the lake when you are 13!

The first four of the 75 Doha Metro trains have arrived two months ahead of schedule at Hamad Port in Qatar after a three-week journey by sea from Japan's Kobe Port
The remaining 71 trains are expected to arrive as per the schedule by 2020, according to Qatar Rail.
The trains will be transported to Qatar Rail's Al Wakra Depot for conducting all the necessary tests in order to ensure that they meet passenger safety standards to be ready for the operational phase.
The order for 75 sets of trains for Doha Metro project was awarded to the consortium of five companies led by Japanese Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd in February 2015.
According to Qatar Rail, the fully automated and driverless trains for the Doha Metro aim to reach 100km per hour. The total 75 trains consist of three cars – Gold Class with 16 seats; Family Class with 26 seats and the Standard Class with 88 seats.
"The designs of the Doha Metro trains are an embodiment of Qatari heritage and culture combined with state-of-the-art technology," said Qatar Rail to the press.
"The design is custom-made for the Doha Metro project and the interior is inspired by the progressive architecture present in Doha skyline, once again combining traditional and modern elements," Qatar Rail further added.
The Doha Metro is being built in two phases. The first phase consists of the construction of three lines and 37 stations, which are expected to be open to the public by 2020. The second phase will be completed by 2026, which will include the expansion of the phase one lines, the construction of an additional line and another 72 new stations.
Recently Qatar Rail has announced that the progress of Doha Metro Phase One stands at approximately 62 per cent. Most of the civil works have been finished and scheduled to be completed by the end of 2017.

CHICAGO (CBS) – The Guardian Angels are out Wednesday night, escorting commuters on the Pink Line after a deadly attack. CBS 2's Pamela Jones reports that another woman was robbed near the scene tonight.
Bobby Butler was trying to stop a robber from snatching a woman's purse Monday night. But the "robber" opened fire, killing Butler.
The Guardian Angels say they'll be out until the last train leaves the Central Park station Wednesday. They're warning riders about a string of reported attacks in the area.
CBS 2 was there when an el passenger says a man ripped her purse from her hands.
Important papers, keys, and the contents of her purse were tossed on an el platform minutes after the reported purse snatching. The victim says it's what happened when she refused to give money to her would-be attacker.
Blanca Garcia will get her belongings back. But it happened while volunteers were passing out flyers in a case where a robbery cost a man his life.
"It's just incredible that we can't be every place at one time. But when we are someplace, it could still happen in such a close proximity," said Franklin Harris of Guardian Angels.
Bobby Butler, 55, was trying to help stop an armed robbery. That victim got off the el Monday night and walked to her car where she was attacked.
Paul Rutherford of Cook County CrimeStoppers retraced her steps.
"She turned around and seen the guy, and she froze. She seen that he had a gun. He had his hand on his waist," said Rutherford.
He says Butler ran from about a block away to the woman's side.
"He yelled, hopefully tried to startle the guy and maybe he can run away," said Rutherford. "But this guy was determined to grab that purse."
The suspect shot Butler, then ran off down an alley.
Butler's family joined hands tonight, hoping someone will help them find his killer.
"I don't hate that he tried to help someone. I just wish it would have been a better outcome to the situation," said Jeffrey Butler, Bobby's brother.
Butler's family says he was just released from jail about six months ago. He had started a new job and was trying to turn his life around.
Unfortunately, his family will now spend the rest of the week trying to collect money to pay for his funeral.

In some of my trips, no matter how much I plan and budget meticulously, my expenses far surpass my estimates. These trips are often the exception to the rule, which is that you can definitely explore exotic places without breaking the bank or selling an organ. Watching your pennies will help, but there are certain tips and tricks that will score you unbelievable deals and sales.
Flight Deals and Timing
Your flight will often be the most expensive part of your trip. However, there are ways to ensure that you minimize this expense. One of this is to plan your trip during off-peak times to enjoy considerable savings without compromising on getting an enjoyable experience. If you absolutely have to get away on a holiday, make sure that you book it way ahead of your departure date to take advantage of the significant cost difference. Two to three months usually do the trick.
Make sure that you also compare across different booking sites or use a comparison site specifically designed for that purpose. Some websites help you see short-term travel deals. When you strike before the deal expires, you can score amazing deals to some of your dream destinations. Some people also have a deal-planning strategy, where they decide where they want to go depending on the deals that are currently available.
Eat and Drink Like a Local
Many travelers make the mistake of spending so much money on eating out for every meal of the day. I would definitely recommend opting for cooking at least one meal if you have a kitchen in your room or buying fresh fruits from a local market or grocery store near your hotel. However, to make the most out of trip, eating out is a must. When you do, make sure that you eat and drink like the locals. Stay away from touristy restaurant and bars. Research online to find recommendations from locals on the best places to wine and dine.
Embrace Public Transport
Using Uber or taxis can add up really quickly when you are abroad. It is cheaper to use the public transport as much as possible. If you are not in a hurry, try the bus or the train. If the place you need to go to is not that far away, try leaving early and just walking. Remember that you get to see and experience more when you are on foot.
Support local crafts and handmade products.
Curating crafts and handmade products while traveling is something you should consider to put on the plan list. Etsy Marketplace is non-stop growing, and people are now consuming more of a slow process product. You can take the chance to open your Etsy shop. Listing curated products based on the location or city you have been visiting. The fast, comfortable way to get your limited product gone fast at a high price is using the Etsygeeks seo service. Your Etsy product listings will be on the top-rank searching, with high-quality traffic converted.

Economic indicators up, but hiring is still sluggish
WASHINGTON -- Factories are producing more. Construction is growing. People are buying more cars. The holiday shopping season is off to a strong start.
Normally, all that would suggest a bright outlook for the economy. Problem is, employers still aren't hiring much, the number of people seeking unemployment benefits remains high and Europe's debt crisis poses a grave threat to the future.
Thursday's mixed economic picture came a day before the government will report on unemployment and job growth for November. That report is expected to show a modest net gain of 125,000 jobs, scarcely enough to keep up with population growth. The unemployment rate is projected to remain 9 percent.
Analysts say the economy remains locked in a good-but-hardly-good-enough position: It's growing consistently, yet too weakly to induce employers to hire aggressively.
"The economy is picking up momentum as we close out 2011," said Neil Dutta, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. At the same time, it faces "an ongoing flu in Europe" and other challenges, such as uncertainty about future taxes and spending in the United States, Dutta said.
For now, factories are expanding. The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, says its manufacturing index rose to 52.7 in November, up from 50.8 in October. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion. Factories have grown for 28 straight months.
Manufacturers are slightly more hopeful about the next few months because of cheaper raw materials and healthy demand, said Bradley Holcomb, head of the ISM's survey committee.
Still, he said, companies have tempered their outlook because of concerns about whether the economy will grow consistently, uncertainty about federal taxes and regulation and fear that Europe's debt crisis may trigger a global economic panic.
Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo, suggested that employers are reluctant to hire freely because the U.S. economy's future appears hazy.

Rocco DiSpirito's Now Eat This! Italy: Episode 1, Caprese Salad (Video)
A typical must-do list for travelers to Italy runs as long as the Appian Way. You must see the Vatican. You must commune with David and the diners at The Last Supper. You must go back in time to 79 A.D. in Pompeii. You must wander around Venice until you get lost. A list can go on and on and on.
Italy offers so many significant things to do, though, that unless you've got a year or two, it's hard to actually do everything. Yet one thing makes on everyone's list: You must eat in Italy. For sustenance, of course, but also because Italy's cuisine is among the most celebrated in the world.
Among those who have eaten their way through Italy is New York Times best selling author and celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito. In Now Eat This! Italy, a new video series for AOL, DiSpirito travels to Italy to learn how to make great Italian food in the shadow of real Italian mothers. The twist? He wants to make great Italian food that won't expand your waistline.
DiSpirito kicks off his series today with mama Maria Escolano and a classic Caprese salad.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to another fun Flower Soft blog hop! This is my favorite all new Flower Soft product yet … I've got 1 to show for it today but it's been such an hot item in my house, the 2 others in the package are already gone as gifts! It's more than just a frame to embellish – it's a instant craft in a bag! My kids love it, my neighbor took 1 for her disable sister to work with – well there was only 3 in a pack.. I wish there were 10!
Here's mine:
My frame was painted with black gesso over a thin layer of Viva Deco Inka Gold and sprinkled with Flower Soft glitter frosting (Hint of Violet). It was meant as a gift so I added the focal image, embellishments and a bottle shaped card from the Wine Buff collection. Your next stop is Dawn's blog and she decorated it with paper and embellishments with a photo so she could display in her home – oh the endless possibilities!!! I LOVE it!!
In case you need the whole blog hop map .. here it is:

Tim Hudak had everything going for him heading into this election: a catchy slogan, a nice round number, and a plan to eliminate 100,000 public sector jobs.
He even had an economist from the American Tea Party lined up to back him up. The only thing Hudak was missing, it now appears, was a calculator.
Several economists who have analysed Hudak's "million jobs plan" now say it's riddled with so many holes, it would actually create closer to 50,000 jobs. (The Ontario PCs have already acknowledged that523,000 jobs in the plan would be created anyway if the province maintained the status quo of the last decade.)
"It is economists of different backgrounds who are pointing this same thing out," said McMaster economics professor Michael Veall.
The error, first noticed by the Ottawa Citizen's David Reevely, was analyzed in depth by economists with different ideological leanings (see here, here, here and here).
Here's how Hudak's big math error works.
Team Hudak commissioned the Conference Board of Canada to supply them job creation estimates. The data was provided as person years of employment, a way of measuring work by representing it as a year of work.
Team Hudak apparently mistook each "person year" for one job and multiplied this by a factor of eight (because they wanted to forecast eight years). This led to bewildering conclusions — a single person working a job for eight years is counted as eight separate jobs created in Hudak's "million jobs plan."
Since Hudak's million jobs plan was counting on half of them being created anyway, "the remaining 300-400,000 now become closer to 50,000," economics Mike Moffatt of Western University's Ivey School of Business told CBC.
Here's a round-up of what other economists are saying about Hudak's math:
"Elementary but critical arithmetic errors in their calculations resulted in the Progressive Conservatives vastly overestimating the number of jobs their plan would create. These errors demolished the underlying economic rationale the party had put forward for its smaller-government, lower-tax plan."
Paul Boothe, Western University economics professor, former deputy finance minister of Saskatchewan and former federal associate deputy minister of finance
These numbers may seem fanciful, and they are. But they became crazier still when the PCs decided to multiply the estimated increase in employment by the number eight — by the number of years the "million jobs plan" would take. In other words, each forecast job was counted not once, but eight times.
Scott Clarke and Peter DeVries, former Finance Canada advisors
"Normally when economists think about a policy change and its impact on employment, it might take several years for the full effect to hit the labour market but I think you would consider the total number of jobs created over that period ... You wouldn't count them up per year, which it sounds like they've done."
Christopher Worswick, Carleton University economics professor
"Everyone is getting wrapped up on the size of their numbers, when really all the numbers are conflated ... What that is, is just going out to multiple consultants ... until someone comes up with numbers that look good to you. It's absolutely cherry picking."
Eric Kam, Ryerson economics professor
For his part, Hudak, who has a Master's degree in economics, is dismissing this universal condemnation of his math skills:
"We strongly disagree with that interpretation. I think that the economics is straightforward." 1
"Economists might argue if it's 100,000 jobs or 150,000 jobs through lower taxes on job creators ... It's a fun argument, but we're all in agreement it's going to create jobs." 2
For a more detailed look at why Hudak's "tax cuts = jobs" theory doesn't really create jobs, click here now.

Part II: Diving into the basics of ALM and how did Microsoft start with an ALM solution?
According to Wikipedia:
Application lifecycle management (ALM) is the product lifecycle management (governance, development, and maintenance) of application software. It encompasses requirements management, software architecture, computer programming, software testing, software maintenance, change management, project management, and release management.
For each specific technology, there exist one or more dedicated ALM tool(s) in the market. Only a few tools offer true support for cross-technology Application Lifecycle Management. Serena offers a number of related tools for requirements management, version control and release management. Serena Dimensions CM integrates for example with many popular application development tools straight out of the box like Visual Studio (.NET) and Eclipse (Java). Another example is Rational Team Concert (RTC) from IBM which is positioned as a lean collaborative lifecycle management solution. IBM also offers a rich RTC client plugin for Eclipse and Visual Studio. Atlassian is an Australian software company which focuses on issue tracking, collaboration and other related software development products to work faster and smarter, together. Their tools are very popular in the Java community, but they also offer a Visual Studio Connector to interact with JIRA issues and Bamboo builds right from Visual Studio. The Atlassian tools in combination with a powerful version control system like Git or Mercurial can also be seen as a competitor in the cross technology ALM space.
But for now I want to highlight Microsoft's Application Lifecycle Management solution. Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 will actually be officially released on November 13, 2013 at the Visual Studio 2013 Virtual Launch Event. The RTM version has been made available for a few weeks already and can be downloaded at http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads.
Some history about Team System
Let's get back in time when it all started. Microsoft released in November 2004 (9 years ago) their first version of an integrated application lifecycle management solution (codename Burton): Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2005. Before, Visual Studio was only a dedicated tool for developers/coders. This shifted completely with the release of Team System where multiple stakeholders were involved in the software development process.
Microsoft studied the way how software teams developed software and decided to build a new product that would substantially increase the likelihood of project success, predictability and software quality. Team System actually transformed the Visual Studio IDE into a powerful collaboration tool for the entire software development team. Visual Studio 2005 Team System was designed to achieve four primary goals:
- Be productive by reducing the complexity of delivering modern service-oriented solutions
- Be integrated with all tools, and facilitate better team collaboration
- Be capable by being robust, secure, and scalable, and by having the ability to work remotely
- Be extensible by allowing processes to be customized
The complete solution consisted of a series of different editions, targeted to the various stakeholders:
- Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Architects
- Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Developers
- Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Tester
- Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server
A common misconception was that TFS replaced Visual SourceSafe as just a new version control system. This is of course incorrect because version control is only a small part of the TFS feature set. Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) was written from scratch (no link with SourceSafe) and uses a SQL Server database as a means of scaling to large environments and infrastructures.
Team Foundation Server is the central and key component in the ALM solution which offered extensible team collaboration. Team System was clearly designed as a lifecycle platform that enabled third-parties, customers, and solution providers to extend the base functionality with new features and customize the tool for the unique aspects of certain businesses. The Microsoft Solution Framework (MSF) – a set of software development processes, principles, and proven practices – was merged into the product via two Team Project process templates: MSF for Agile Software Development and MSF for CMMI Process Improvement.
At this time, the target audience for Team System were (large) enterprise development teams with a focus to improve the joint outcome of software development on the Microsoft platform (.NET). No sign yet of cross-platform development tools or support for multiple (non-Microsoft) development languages. Visual Studio 2005 Team System can be seen as v1 of the ALM offering from Microsoft. Later in 2006 another client Team System edition was added to the offering: Visual Studio 2005 Team System for Database Professionals. The DB Pro or Data Dude edition worked in conjunction with version control to manage database changes next to application code changes.
In Part III I will cover how Microsoft is extending their ALM offering in the next versions to typical non-Microsoft customers: a look at heterogeneous software development.
Part III: Heterogeneous Software Development
Part IV: A fully integrated testing experience with TFS 2010
Part V: TFS 2012 and Continuous Value Delivery
Part VI: TFS 2013 and Visual Studio Online

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Philomena meets Orphan Train in this suspenseful, provocative novel filled with love, secrets, and deceit—the story of a young unwed mother who is forcibly separated from her daughter at birth and the lengths to which they go to find each other.
In 1950s Quebec, French and English tolerate each other with precarious civility—much like Maggie Hughes' parents. Maggie's English-speaking father has ambitions for his daughter that don't include marriage to the poor French boy on the next farm over. But Maggie's heart is captured by Gabriel Phénix. When she becomes pregnant at fifteen, her parents force her to give baby Elodie up for adoption and get her life 'back on track'.
Elodie is raised in Quebec's impoverished orphanage system. It's a precarious enough existence that takes a tragic turn when Elodie, along with thousands of other orphans in Quebec, is declared mentally ill as the result of a new law that provides more funding to psychiatric hospitals than to orphanages. Bright and determined, Elodie withstands abysmal treatment at the nuns' hands, finally earning her freedom at seventeen, when she is thrust into an alien, often unnerving world.
Maggie, married to a businessman eager to start a family, cannot forget the daughter she was forced to abandon, and a chance reconnection with Gabriel spurs a wrenching choice. As time passes, the stories of Maggie and Elodie intertwine but never touch, until Maggie realizes she must take what she wants from life and go in search of her long-lost daughter, finally reclaiming the truth that has been denied them both.
Trigger warning for rape
It's 1950's in Quebec and Maggie is the daughter of the local seed store owner. The French and the English just barely tolerate each other, the tensions are high. Maggie's heart is captured by Gabriel Phenix, a poor french farmer from next door. When Maggie get's pregnant at 15 years of age, her parents give up her baby Elodie for adoption so Maggie could get her life back on track.
Elodie is being raised in one of Quebec's impoverished orphanage's. When all the sudden the laws change, her orphanage is converted into a mental institution and hundred of orphans become trapped in that system, classified as mentally ill.
Years later, Maggie cannot stop thinking about Elodie, and hopes to find her daughter again.
This book follows both Maggie and Elodie and how they grow as people in the life they have been thrown in. This book also explores The Duplessis Orphans who were the children that were victimized and falsely certified as mentally ill by the government of Quebec, Canada mid 20th Century. It wasn't easy to read at times, the beginning of the book especially was a bit rough for me, because it involves rape of Maggie as a teenager by an adult and it was very uncomfortable.
I thought the writing in this book was well done, the author did a fantastic telling both Maggie and Elodie's stories, even if Elodie's part was also difficult to read at times, you just cannot help but sympathize with the characters.
This topic was new to me, I did not know much about Canadian history prior to this book, nor about the animosity between the people. I found this whole topic fascinating and very heartbreaking, especially with what happened to these orphans.
There was a bit of a struggle with this book at times based on the misogyny of the male characters and how they kept assuming that children will make a bad marriage better. When Maggie first get's married, I wanted to throttle her husband for disregarding Maggie's dream and forcing her into producing babies. Thought given the time frame, it isn't all that surprising, does not make it any less annoying.
The ending did feel like it wrapped up kind of weird and convenient, I didn't expect it to be as neat but it was really touching.
Overall, the writing I found really good. The storytelling flowed. I did find myself invested in the characters and their storylines. I did enjoy it and looking forward to more from this author in the future.

Home improvement projects offer excitement for any homeowner, but can prove to be a tad difficult in some aspects. However, if you do not have the necessary skills for a home improvement project, you need to gain the knowledge before beginning any project. Continue ahead to some tips that will get your home improvement skills up to par.
Replacing the hardware in your home such as doorknobs, hinges, pulls, light fixtures, etc, can transform a home from one era to another. It is a quick and easy way to make your home look newer and more updated just by switching out these little details. Brushed nickel and copper are great new trends that will spice up your look.
If you must patch your roof, aluminum tape that is three inches wide is all you need to do the job. Make sure that the surface is dry and clean, and then simply peel back the tape and press it on there like you're using duct tape. This creates a waterproof barrier over these cracks.
Want to save a coat or two of paint? When you paint wood or drywall that needs to be primed first tint the primer to match your final paint color. By tinting the primer you will reduce the amount of coats you need to paint the surface by a coat or two.
Painting the interior walls of your home can be a great way to freshen up your decor. Painting is inexpensive and allows for much creativity, based on your color choices. It's also easy to change, should you decide to go in a different direction. To add a quick and effective punch to any room just grab a can of paint and go!
If you have small holes in your wall, you can repair them by using spackling paste. Simply apply the paste to fill the holes and wait for it to dry. The paste may expand and crack, so you can apply a little more paste if needed. When dry, sand away any excess until the dried spackle is flush with the wall. Then paint the wall any color you desire.
If you don't have enough space for a small office, you can use a small portion of your living room for that purpose. Buy a small privacy screen and place a desk behind it with a matching chair. You can purchase small shelves to install on your wall to store your pens, pencils, staplers and other important items.
To help you identify the contents of containers, hot glue a sample of the enclosed items to the containers. It can get tough to locate the fasteners you need among all the different ones you have, no matter how well-organized your storage area is. These labels provide better organization so that you do not have to waste time.
As you complete one home improvement project after another successfully, your confidence is sure to grow. If you don't have much home maintenance experience, make sure you are utilizing the tips provided in the above article so that you can properly finish your project.

MRM Assays
Unlike the unbiased discovery approach, which attempts to detect all proteins in a biological sample, MRM is highly selective (targeted), allowing researchers to look for specific peptides or protein fragments of interest. Use of MRM, which was selected as Method of the Year by Nature Methods in 2012, has been increasing dramatically due to its high sensitivity and specificity and its ability to provide absolute quantitation. Because there is no need for expensive and time-consuming antibody development, this approach also offers significant time and cost savings over antibody-based methods.
Caprion uses a fit-for-purpose approach for developing MRM-based assays. Assays range from research-grade assays that measure 100s of proteins for rapid discovery or verification of biomarker candidates to assays that provide absolute quantitation of a single or a few proteins for diagnostics or clinical applications, performed under GLP.
Caprion's MRM-based offerings include:
- Off-the shelf multiplexed panels for CNS, immune response, toxicology, and plasma/serum proteins
- Rapid development of custom panels
- Fit-for-purpose assays for non-clinical and clinical use
- Validated assays for clinical use (biomarker quantitation or PK)
The MRM assay development process is described below.
Protein targets can be selected from multiple sources, including prior "omics" studies, literature, and pathway analysis (1). Following in silico analysis to predict the best peptides for MRM analysis (2), peptides are synthesized (3) and are typically isotope labeled to facilitate accurate quantitation over multiple sample batches.
Synthetic peptides are then analyzed to determine the best transitions (or fragment ions) to monitor (4). Further optimization is performed to assess sensitivity and dynamic range (5) before characterizing assay performance in the relevant sample matrix (6). Controls and standards are included as needed to provide fit-for-purpose assays spanning research through clinical use.
How MRM Mass Spectrometry Works
MRM uses triple quadrupole mass spectrometers coupled to liquid chromatography to enable greater specificity, sensitivity, and quantitation of analytes of interest. In the first quadrupole (Q1), a specific peptide that corresponds to a protein of interest is selected. The peptide is then fragmented in the second quadrupole (Q2) and a filter is applied to allow a specific fragment, also referred to as a transition, to enter into the third quadrupole (Q3) where its intensity is measured. Because of the double selection approach, which improves signal-to-noise and reduces interference, and the multiple measurements per protein, MRM is one of the most specific assays for protein measurement.

The Yearly Salary for an Oil Rig Helicopter Pilot
If you have the proper training and licensing, you may consider working as an oil rig helicopter pilot. These jobs require you to transport rig crew members between the mainland and offshore oil rigs or drilling ships. Some oil companies hire their own pilots, but many contract with firms that specialize in providing pilots to the offshore oil industry. Before you consider a career in this field, you should learn about the pay. Understanding how much pilots earn in yearly salary can help you decide whether the job's right for you.
Starting salaries for oil rig helicopter pilots range from about $35,000 to $50,000 per year. Pilots generally earn in that range during their first two years on the job. Salaries then increase to $50,000 to $70,000 per year. High-end employers may pay as much as $100,000. Top pay usually goes to the most experienced pilots or to pilots working difficult jobs. Pilots can earn more if they work overtime hours and holidays. Some companies also offer a 401(k) or a similar retirement plan and medical and dental insurance.
Work Schedules
While some pilots work traditional five-day workweeks, most do not. Instead, they must work a set number of consecutive days and receive the same number of consecutive days off. Some pilots work seven days and receive seven off-duty days, but companies may require 14 days on and 14 days off or a month on and a month off. These jobs give pilots the flexibility to work part time on shore jobs and to live a greater distance from companies' main offices.
Contributing Factors
The exact salary of a helicopter pilot in the oil rig industry depends on multiple factors. The most significant is experience. Pilots with extensive experience earn more. Inexperienced pilots earn the least. Where you work and the company you work for also impacts how much you make. Some employers pay a premium to attract pilots to jobs in foreign countries, where few local residents have the qualifications for these jobs. Employers also pay more for jobs with unattractive features, such as working on a rig in a cold-weather climate or in other potentially dangerous conditions.
Career Outlook
The job market for oil rig pilots is strong. According to BAC Helicopters, offshore flying is the biggest job market for helicopter pilots, for multiple reasons. First, the oil industry has been in a boom period, and most of the untapped oil is underwater. Not enough qualified pilots are available due to training requirements and a general lack of interest in working on an oil rig. Some qualified pilots don't wish to spend days at a time away from family, and some fear the dangers involved with flying offshore and spending time on an oil rig. Many oil rig pilots work in the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, Alaska or Indonesia.

AT LEAST 50 people were killed in clashes between Islamists and police in Egypt yesterday, as thousands of the military's supporters marked the anniversary of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
Loyalists of deposed Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, overthrown in a July military coup, tried to converge on a central Cairo square for the anniversary celebrations, when police confronted them.
At least 45 people were killed in Cairo and five south of the capital, while another 268 people were wounded across Egypt, senior health ministry official Ahmed al-Ansari told AFP.
He said that "majority of the deaths were caused by bullets and birdshots," adding that the identities of the dead were being ascertained.
Yesterday's death toll was the highest in clashes between Islamists and police since several days of violence starting on August 14 killed more than 1,000 people, mostly Islamists.
In central Cairo, police fired shots and tear gas to disperse stone-throwing protesters. AFP correspondents saw several suspected demonstrators being arrested and beaten.
An interior ministry statement said police arrested 423 protesters in Cairo, accusing them of vandalism and "firing live rounds and birdshot".
