Senior Correspondent Arnold Woodworth's Weekend Roundup
A Few Tips You Should Know Before You Get Started With The Bigger Screen On The iPhone 6
The Most Important Things To Consider If You're Trying To Decide Between The iPhone 6 And iPhone 6 Plus
I Just Held The iPhone 6 Plus In One Hand, And the iPhone 6 In The Other — It Took 2 Seconds To Realize Which Phone I Need
How iOS 8 Completely Changed The Way You Use Your iPhone
AW comment: The above headline is an exaggeration, but the features shown in the video are still neat.
5 must-have apps for investors
I've been using the Apple iPhone 6 for a couple of days now and frankly, I'd give it a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10.
I thought I'd want the bigger Plus screen for sure, but now that I have this iPhone 6 itself, I think it's plenty big already.
Every app I've tried runs with absolutely no lag, although some bugs have come up in certain apps that haven't been optimized for the latest versions of iOS. As a rule of thumb, if your app worked well on iOS 7, it will probably still work just as well on iOS 8. But if the app was buggy in iOS 7, it'll be even buggier in iOS 8.
The best apps for investors are:
KCast Gold Live
Stock Guru Pro
Wolfram Alpha
Apple Pulled The iOS Update That's Screwing Up People's Phones
Apple pulled the update about an hour after releasing it.
How To Fix Your iPhone If It Got Ruined By The iOS 8 Update
Apple's PR nightmare turns into social media's 'joke of the day'
It's time to chill out over 'bendgate' and buy Apple Stock
Analyst calls 'bendgate' irrational and reiterates buy call
a number of Apple fans on Reddit have started to pick apart the YouTube video ...... discrepancies in the timing of the video, with the clock on the iPhone 6 Plus reading 2:26 p.m. at the time of the bending, but reading an earlier 1:58 p.m. at a later point in the video after the bending was already supposed to have taken place.
Apple's Phil Schiller says 'go to the Genius Bar' if your iPhone 6 is bent
Apple's ubiquity is a blessing and a curse: an issue with a new iPhone will go under far more scrutiny than it would with any competing product, but at the same time anyone that does happen to have the issue should find it relatively easier to get support.
How Samsung Spent Billions Of Dollars To Destroy Apple With Attack Ads
Nude-Photo Hackers Are Sad Apple Ruined Their Fun
"The game is over," wrote one forlorn Anon-IB member. "We lost despite a major lead."
Angry users on the site blamed the high-profile celebrity nude leak for ruining iCloud hacking techniques they'd used for months or even years to silently download backups from iPhone owners.
Anon-IB's hackers seem more upset, however, about the email alerts Apple now sends to its users when their account is accessed or a backup downloaded.
POLICE: 'Apple Will Become The Phone Of Choice For The Pedophile'
Apple's new stance on privacy and encryption has gone down poorly with law enforcement, but it's not yet clear whether criminals are actually able to take advantage of Apple's products the way they fear.
Is Apple Picking a Fight With the U.S. Government? Not exactly.
With its new iOS 8, Apple has radically improved the way that data on its devices is encrypted. Once users set a passcode, Apple will no longer be able to unlock your device—even if ordered to do so by a court.
Orin Kerr referred to Apple's new policy as a "dangerous game," one that "doesn't stop hackers, trespassers, or rogue agents" but "only stops lawful investigations with lawful warrants." While Kerr has moderated his views since his initial post, his overarching concern remains the same: By placing customer interests before that of law enforcement, Apple is working against the public interest.
Kerr is wrong about this. Apple is not designing systems to prevent law enforcement from executing legitimate warrants. It's building systems that prevent everyone who might want your data—including hackers, malicious insiders, and even hostile foreign governments—from accessing your phone. This is absolutely in the public interest. Moreover, in the process of doing so, Apple is setting a precedent that users, and not companies, should hold the keys to their own devices.
Designing backdoors is easy. The challenge is in designing backdoors that only the right people can get through. In order to maintain its access to your phone, Apple would need a backdoor that allowed them to execute legitimate law enforcement requests, while locking hackers and well-resourced foreign intelligence services out. The problem is so challenging that even the National Security Agency has famously gotten it wrong.

New 'Bash' Software Bug May Be A Bigger Threat Than Heartbleed
Bash is the software used to control the command prompt on many Linux computers. Hackers can exploit a bug in Bash to take complete control of a targeted system, security experts said.
Apple Says Majority Of OS X Users Are Safe From Bash Exploits
Apple notes here, in OS X you should be safe so long as you haven't configured advanced access (which means probably most of our readers are okay). Apple will also issue an OS X update shortly to close the potential hole, so also just make sure you don't go enabling any advanced UNIX options before that happens.
Security Experts Are Racing To Destroy A Virus Called 'Shellshock' That's Targeting Apple Computers
Even though Apple has publicly said that this so-called "Shellshock" bug, deemed bigger and more damaging than "Heartbleed," won't affect the majority of its users, experts are still incredibly worried. The virus' potential reach goes well beyond consumers and could hurt entire web infrastructures.

Another incredibly inspiring discussion on SS. "What we give our attention to becomes our God". Sue Monk Kidd discusses the how giving our full attention to something (like nature) is a form of meditation. She talks about the importance of the choices we make for these present moments, what we let into our worlds, what we surround ourselves with. "We become what we pay attention to". Some how this take a complex idea and boils it down to such a simply stated belief.

Louis Schwarzman's amazing work
This interview was so inspiring too...I've been thinking about it for days...trying to take all of it in...I think it will come out in some way...art...poem maybe ...who knows...
"Nobody ever sees me"...Amanda Palmer sees you.
I heard this on a podcast while driving...it was so profound. I loved it so much that I had to watch it today. Please, if you wonder why your making your art...please watch this. Making art is about connecting to others really...that's the long and short of it. Everything is about feeling deep, real connections.

In the 21st century we are very aware of the dangers of smoking cigarettes, however it is interesting to find in the digitised newspapers on Trove the many accounts of how dangerous the practise was.
In the 1895 it was recorded in the Windsor & Richmond Gazette that an "eleven-year-old named Gilespie has gone hopelessly insane, at Warren, through excessive cigarette-smoking."
A few weeks later the topic was raised again, in the Gazette, this time discussing the situation in Windsor. Obviously smoking amongst teenage boys, was prevalent in the Hawkesbury.
"Juvenile smokers are to be found by the score in Windsor, and on any night an observant person may see specimens of the mature infant idling at street corners, or swaggering along the street with cigarettes between their lips...it is asserted upon the very best scientific authority that cigarette-smoking is the worst and most distinctly injurious form of tobacco indulgence. This applies to adults as well as to children; but, of course men, stronger of nerve and more hardy of tissue, are better able to withstand the assaults of nicotine. Upon the young however, the habit of smoking in any form has the most pernicious influence. It is a danger, physically and morally. It stunts his growth, undermines his nervous system and incuicates in him selfish and slavish habits; it injures the sight, and when indulged to excess, it impairs and even destroys the intellect. Smoking injures the sight without question...In the streets of our town mere boys have frequently accosted passers by for matches wherewith to light their 'bumpers'. A firm snubbing would meet exigencies of this kind, and perhaps act as a slight deterrent. Consistent discouragement on the part of parents would mitigate the evil. Not only mothers and fathers, but all sensible people who have the interests of the juvenile population at heart, should do their utmost to put down this detestable and injurious habit of cigarette smoking among young boys."
|THE SEDUCTIVE CIGARETTE pictured from the West Gippsland Gazette 21 Jan 1902, p. 8
Many of the articles refer to the appalling effect upon the nervous system and how smoking will stunt growth.
An impressive warning from over a century ago ~ why didn't the community pay any attention?

Bacon Wrapped Tofu: in which I simulate a foodie blog
This weekend I made bacon wrapped tofu for the second time, a dish I invented for an EMRL party/noise show around eight years ago. I initially wanted to create a dish that would offend both meat eaters and vegetarians, although it turned out pretty tasty. The first time I made it I just wrapped the tofu cubes and baked it at 350 degrees for around 45 minutes, draining fat as necessary. This time I used a slightly higher-quality bacon, and drizzled a bit of dry mustard on it before baking. I forgot to take an after-baking photo because I was in a hurry to serve them. The bacon flavor was absorbed nicely into the tofu.
Preserve Me A Seat drew a pretty good crowd, due to other projects rattling around I didn't have much of a talk about Sacramento theater history so instead I talked about historic preservation in general. Thanks to anyone reading this who made it out.

Learning Centre
We Are Here to Help!
Zero Xeno is here to help you understand the potential health risks that may be associated with products you use every day. Our goal is to educate you and provide simple easy solutions that can be incorporated into your daily routine. We are here to empower you on your journey to make healthy choices!
What Are Xenoestrogens?
Many people have never heard of xenoestrogens before so we've broken it down for you. 'Xeno' means foreign, and 'Estrogen' simply describes a female hormone. When put together in one word, xenoestrogens are foreign manmade chemicals that act like estrogen and impact your body's hormonal balance in a detrimental way.
In other words they are manmade chemicals that mimic estrogen and negatively impact your hormone balance. They are a class of chemicals that have various names such as environmental estrogens, chemical hormone disruptors, endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), endocrine disruptors, xenobiotics, obesogens etc.
Xenoestrogens are chemicals such as:
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and its derivatives
Propylene Glycol
And many, many more...
What's the Problem?
The problem with estrogen mimicking chemicals is that they are commonly used in personal body care and beauty products as well as household cleaners. When you're exposed to hormone disruptors through daily routines, these chemicals fool your body into believing xenoestrogens are your own estrogens which can cause a variety of different hormonal issues.
These may include:
The purpose of these chemical hormone disruptors in personal care products is to create lather, keep the body clean and fresh smelling, as well as make scents last longer. They are found in many natural skin care brands including organic baby products. In household cleaners they provide exceptional lather, cleaning power and long lasting aromas.
The Zero Xeno Movement!
It can be scary stuff to learn, but don't worry, you've come to the right place! At Zero Xeno we are dedicated to empowering people to make healthy lifestyle choices. Our mission is to educate on the dangers associated with xenoestrogens and provide simple easy solutions that lead to a healthier life!
Join The Zero Xeno Movement today and help us achieve our vision of a xenoestrogen-free world!

As Liberia becomes free of Ebola transmission, I do not only feel fulfilled as an individual but I am very proud of ActionAid's role in helping our nation reach this milestone.
It all started when I was selected to be as the Health and Wellness Champion for my organization. In my capacity had to provide regular update to staff and partners on health situation in the country. In July 2014 ActionAid Liberia got the first funding from IHART and began the response. Initially, the response started with social mobilization and contact tracing, medical supplies for health facilities and provision of food and non-food items and sanitation supplies for quarantined families. By mid-September, the response was extended to six counties and started looking at border issues. At this time we put on our human rights lens and started addressing the intersect between public health crisis and human rights. The team focus was accountability, capacity building for communities and women leadership in emergency preparedness and response. We were concern about access to health care services for women and key population during the crisis. We went beyond donation of supplies looking at how we can support counties and districts health teams to expand sexual reproductive health services for women and key population, capacity building training for state and non-state actors to prioritize women's rights issues during emergency and helping communities to establish resilience plan. This is what makes our response different from others.
With female leadership in the organization, it was easy to identify and respond to the specific needs of women and children. In late August there was a national call for sanitary napkins and adult pamper for female patients. It was on a holiday and our office was close; female staff had to gather person resources to respond to the call. We were up as early as 5:00am just to do so. Our response including building women's leadership to lead the change. We worked with female headed organizations and local women from the communities to social mobilization and contact tracing. 78% of community volunteers who led the door to door awareness were female.
Being on the frontline was not an easy thing. Between August and October, I partially quarantined myself from my family. I stopped direct contact with my children. It was a 2014 difficult thing to do; I cloud see the sadness in the faces of my children but I had to do it because I was not sure of the contacts I mad outside. We were out every day visiting quarantined homes and health facilities and ETUs. Responding from a right base approach was a bit difficult. Some times we had to get a bit closer to the contact. This was dangerous for us but we were also concern about giving materials in a dignifying way. This is another point that made our response different from others
From the experience during the outbreak, I believe that if we had functional strengthen systems and structures, particularly health systems, in place in Liberia, the crisis would not have escalated. There is a need for government and NGO partners to focus on strengthening those systems and structures.
We need to shift a bit from depending on others to help us in solving our problems. Liberians have the expertise and power to make the change. It was clear during the outbreak; Liberia (grassroots women and men) led the process. In ActionAid we believe that there is power in people and if you build up that they can lead their own change.
Today, I feel fulfilled as I (as an individual and as a part of ActionAid) was able to significantly contribute to Liberia becoming transmission free.

What's Their Back Story?
Written by Maryanna Korwitts on September 1, 2012. Posted in in General, In the News, Who's Got it Right
As you go about attempting to find a name for your new business, consider how some top companies came up with their names. Business naming is not always a scientific process but there should be meaningful thought applied to the choice of a brand if it is to successfully create the personality of the company.
—7-Eleven was originally called U'Totem, until the corp changed their hours to be open from 7AM to 11PM.
—Addidas comes from the nickname of founder Adolf Adi Dassler.
—Adobe founder John Warnock had the Adobe Creek running behind his house.
—Amazon was originally called Cadabra.com until it was determined that the name needed to speak of the huge projected scope of the company.
—Arby's founders, the Raffel Brothers opted for a subtle play on their name.
—August Horch founded Audi but the name Horch was already in use, so he simply went with Horch in Latin.
—Take the first syllable of "communications" and the last syllable of "broadcast" and you get Comcast.
—Geico is an acronym… Government Employees Insurance Company.
Whether you choose to have professional help in creating your company brand or not, be sure you develop a great back story. Then, when someone says, "how did that name come about?"… you can lock in your image by sharing your story!

I finished these walls shortly before Christmas for a restaurant called the Daily Diner run by the Union Gospel Mission
The Union Gospel Mission (UGM) is a nonprofit provider of services for the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. Through the Our Daily Bread training program, UGM will teach meaningful job skills to homeless people in order to help them change their lives. To accomplish this, UGM will develop and manage a for-profit restaurant that incorporates a culinary arts training program which will train and educate up to 30 clients per year. This business will be a self-sustaining enterprise with profits returning to the training program.
I forgot to take detail photos of the walls but there are cup hands and interesting plates with lots of memories incorporated into mosaic on these walls.
As with everything I could not have accomplished all it without the help of many, many friends! xo

Futuristic # 8
#8 Stennis Space Center – NASA has taken on the task of manipulating weather, through loud noises among other things. In the backwoods of the Mississippi wetlands NASA tests their Space Shuttle solid rocket boosters, consuming half a million gallons of fuel. During this test NASA managed to create artificial clouds that cause it to rain just after generating a loud noise.
NASA researchers reveal using a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen NASA is able to create clean rain clouds. By injecting aerosols, which scatter light into the atmosphere we could reflect more sun away from Earth and cool the planet.
Researchers say the sky could turn from a light blue to a blank white if scientists are forced to take drastic action to tackle global warming.

(Sub Pop, 1996)
The first Lilys 7" I ever plunked down for, and still top o' the heap after all these years. Criminal that these two songs, released as a one-off for Sub Pop, aren't available elsewhere, as they're easily as good as, heck, not only anything on the stylistically-similar Better Can't Make Your Life Better, but ANYTHING ELSE Lilys ever put out. The smashingly-titled "Welfare Murder Plot" covers a lotta ground in little time, lurching back and forth from slithery croon to chunky garage-pop before ending with a smooth-rockin' coda. Nothing finer than the ultra-catchy B, though, a tight Nuggets-y head-shaker called "Baby's a Dealer" that might be – yup! – the apex of this phase of the band's existence. So why in tarnation is it buried on the flip of an obscure 7"?? Mysteries abound in this life of ours!

The limited-edition range, which is associated with his "I Am Other" creative collective, will include men's and women's T-shirts and caps, available April 14.
During New York Fashion Week, the Oscar-nominated hitmaker also announced his eco-conscious fashion project with G-Star RAW called RAW for the Oceans.
The best part about his Uniqlo collection? It won't cost $44,000, like the Vivienne Westwood hat he just sold to Arby's for charity.

A MAN who allegedly threatened to murder a police officer during Edinburgh's New Year celebrations has appeared in court.
Aleksander Mackowiak is said to have made the gun threat during a phone call to Police Scotland's control room, at Bilston Glen, just hours before the bells.
Mackowiak is also alleged to have then called the control room for a second time in the early hours of New Year's Day and threatened to harm himself.
The 38-year-old, from Restalrig, is also facing a charge of threatening to attack Detective Sergeant David Robertson while he was being held at the capital's St Leonard's police station.
And a fourth charge states the Polish national shouted, swore and uttered offensive remarks at the police station on January 2.
Mackowiak appeared in private at Edinburgh Sheriff Court and made no plea or declaration.
He was remanded in custody and will appear back at the city court at a future date.

By Fred Wallace
Hi, this is Fred Wallace with " Off the Wire ".
To use the cliche nautical term, the Wiarton Schooners sunk last weekend.
It's somewhat unclear whether the Schooners requested a leave of absence or were told to take a year of absence, but the bottom line is for a second straight year a Greater Metro Junior Hockey League franchise in Wiarton has ceased operations.
A year ago, the Wiarton Rock hit rock bottom.
Amazingly, the Schooners didn't get as far as the Rock.
To almost everyone, this isn't a huge surprise, many felt Wiarton was doomed before they started.
In my view they didn't get much help when 13 of their first 16 contests in their expansion season where on the road against established franchises.
There were other issues of course, not the least of which was the player quality.
Having said that, I watched Wiarton last Thursday at Meaford and there were 2 players and the netminder who were of GMHL calibre.
Plus, while it means nothing, I liked the logo and jersey.
But in the end, the Schooners have run aground and from my viewpoint, I don't expect them to set sail in the future.
I'm Fred Wallace

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/24/2014 -- Memory can be a powerful trigger for motivation. Remembering fun times out with friends can lead a person to engage in more social events, or bringing up a memory of an illness that occurred after eating certain foods can increase aversion to eating them again. Recent research from the University of New Hampshire found that bringing up memories of positive experiences during exercise can actually motivate a person to become more active.
Participants in a study conducted by University researchers were asked to recall positive memories around exercise. When the memories were recalled, these participants showed higher levels of subsequent exercise engagement than with other participants who were not prompted to recall memories. A third group was asked to recall negative memories associated with exercise, and their opinions and intentions were also added into the survey.
At the end of the study, all the participants were asked to rate their future intentions to continue exercising, and eight days later they completed another survey explaining how much physical activity they had engaged in during the prior week. Not only had the positive memory group engaged in more exercise during the week, but the negative memory group had also engaged in more exercise than the group who weren't given any prompts.
Overall, the positive memory prompt group exercised the most out of the three groups surveyed, but this study offers insight into how memory can motivate and increase the amount of time individuals spend investing in their health and wellness.

The soaring temperatures on the London Tube over the summer months have been a problem for some years now. A London Underground team has attempted to come up with some engineering solutions to the problem by creating a groundwater cooling
system. The trial, which starts this summer, aims to make it cooler for passengers on platforms and will be tested at Victoria station which is so deep that it is effectively under water and pumps out 35 litres (eight gallons) a second, to stop it coming through the walls. The idea of the new system is to push the water through a network of pipes into heat exchange units on the platforms, which will suck in warm air and pump out cooler air. The heat could be used to power homes and offices above and this way the temperature will be brought down.
But this is only a trial to be tested this year and it is far from being put into work as well as new trains with air cooling systems that are promised for Circle, District, Hammersmith and City and Metropolitan lines.
Meanwhile the temperatures in the deepest tunnels, reach 30C (86F) in summer.
These changes might affect the London Tube in a drastic way. Some of the Tube lines might be closed especially on the hot summer days. London Underground assures that there are no plans to close any Tube Lines during the summer but in the future years it might get to the point "where the underground will become literally intolerable and you could face the prospect of loss of life" as Mr Livingstone from LU advised.
About 1,000 London Tube passengers were trapped for nearly two hours when three trains were held up in a tunnel. The Central Line closed after signal failures stopped the trains between Marble Arch and Lancaster Gate. The trains have been evacuated and three people were treated for the effects of heat.

Health regulator has failed and is not fit for purpose, says CQC chairman
PUBLISHED: 09:11 18 February 2014 | UPDATED: 09:12 18 February 2014
"Totally failed" and "not fit for purpose". David Prior's assessment of the performance of England's health watchdog is damning after spending a year at the helm at the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
The regulator, which is responsible for ensuring high standards of care are upheld across the country's hospitals, GP surgeries and care homes, has been accused of not acting quickly enough or thoroughly investigating scandals relating to Mid Stafford Hospital and Winterbourne View care home. The British Medical Association added that it had "no confidence" in the regulator last June after allegations of a cover-up over inspections at a children's hospital in Cumbria.
But Mr Prior, who stood down as Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital chairman last year after 11 years at the helm, said the criticism levelled at the CQC had been "completely justified".
However, he believed that the organisation had started to move in the right direction and it was his mission to restore the public's confidence in the CQC, which was established four years ago.
Mr Prior, who still lives in Norfolk, joined the London-based organisation last February where one of his first jobs was to pick up the pieces of the findings of the Francis Report looking into the failings of the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust, where between 400 and 1,200 more people died than would have been expected from 2005 to 2008.
He added that the findings of the report were "deeply shocking".
"The NHS is a values-based organisation with a moral entity and it was a real wake-up call. We are building on the lessons learnt from Mid Staffs to make sure it can never happen again in any other hospital."
"The CQC had failed totally and has not won the trust of the public or the doctors and nurses in the system. We are not fit for purpose at all. We have started to put things right, but it does not happen overnight. However, the primary responsibility of delivering high quality care is not the CQC's responsibility, but with the doctors, nurses and clinicians. Every board in every hospital have to ask themselves 'could it happen here?'. I do not think we can give a guarantee that bad things won't happen somewhere in the system because the system is so big. 1.7 million people work in health and social care and we have 40,000 locations to inspect."
The 59-year-old, who was a Conservative MP for North Norfolk up until 2001, also warned that the NHS faced going "bankrupt" if health chiefs from hospitals, community care and primary care did not work together to deliver a more community-focused model of care to cater for the country's older population.
"The most fundamental thing is to reduce the number of avoidable emergency admissions. If they carry on rising, it is not viable and there needs to be more integration of acute care, primary care and community care.
"The traditional way has to be stopped and it has to be stopped by treating people outside of hospital, otherwise the system will be bankrupt.
"The structure of healthcare is not much different from 1948, but the population has changed fundamentally since then and the demands of an ageing and elderly population are very different from the demands of a much younger population in the 1950s and 60s," he said.
Mr Prior, who has visited many hospitals in his role as CQC chairman said people in Norfolk were lucky to have the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
"The quality of care at the N&N is fantastic – and having been around many hospitals now, I am still of that view.
"The area of weakness in Norfolk has been the failure to integrate acute, community care, and primary care and that is a real opportunity over the next five years."
The CQC has introduced a new inspection regime and intelligent surveillance system to try and ensure it flags up problems with hospitals and care providers early.
"He added that the new inspections looked closely at the leadership of NHS trusts and social care providers.
"If you have poor leadership, everything goes wrong. If you look across Norfolk, the ambulance service have gone through a period of uncertain leadership – and the mental health trust.
"You cannot run highly complex organisations without having a fantastic leader at the top."

PrisonPlanet on Alex Jones' BBC Appearance
Alex Jones' PrisonPlanet website posts an article on his recent appearance on BBC radio (which Pat has mentioned a few times). I am just stunned that this savvy group of investigators hasn't broken 9/11 wide open by now.
After Guy Smith announced that the BBC would soon be releasing a new documentary devoted to Building 7, presumably given that they completely omitted the topic in their last hit piece, a strange new debunker was introduced as "Ronald Wick".
Mr Wick was introduced as a broadcaster in New York and "a well known 9/11 conspiracy theory debunker", yet having written about the 9/11 truth movement and the attacks for over six years, I have never heard of the man, neither has Prisonplanet editor Paul Watson and neither has Alex Jones. Furthermore, a Google search produces no related results. Seemingly then "Ronald Wick" is either not a "very well known" debunker or is hiding behind a pseudonym.
"Wick" attempted to counter revelations that the BBC had reported the collapse of building 7 a full 26 minutes before it's actual fall by suggesting that everyone had expected the building to collapse from fire damage for hours before it did. This claim does not hold up when put into context with statements from firefighters, reporters and first responders on the ground who have stated that they had to literally run for their lives when a 20 second demolition countdown began and the building suddenly fell.
"Wick" and the other debunkers also attempted to suggest we believe the BBC were somehow "in on the conspiracy" and were specifically approached and fed with a "script of events" on 9/11 because, according to Guy Smith, laughable though this opinion is, it is the media outlet most opposed to George W. Bush.
And you have got to love the ending:
Any rational person who listened to this chaotic exchange will have gone away wanting to hear more from Alex Jones, who draws his knowledge and discussion points from the study of history, declassified government archives, expert analysis and mainstream reports, rather than take heed from the total lack of any insight whatsoever from the two studio guests and the strange accusatory tone and debate framing of the mysterious "Mr Wick".
It is Wieck, genius. Geez, we know you read the blog. You just mentioned us yesterday.

Definition of Digestion| What is Digestion
Concept and Meaning of DigestionFrom the latin digestĭo, digestion is the action and the effect of Digest. This verb refers to the activity performed by the digestive system that consists of converting food into substances assimilated by the body.
Digestion, therefore, involves the transformation of having digested food. Foods, through this process, become simpler substances which can be absorbed by the body. Heterotrophic organisms (such as animals) rely on digestion to obtain energy from the organic matter they ingest, because food is converted to minerals and nutrients needed for subsistence.
It is important to note that the digestion takes place at different levels: subcellular, cellular and multicellular. The digestive system is composed of various organizations involved in chemical and mechanical digestion processes. The first step is mechanical (the size of the food is reduced), while the following are chemical (to prepare food for absorption).
Food process therefore begins with ingestion (food in the mouth), continues with digestion (mechanical and chemical to convert complex molecules into simpler substances, then reached the absorption (nutrients go to the circulatory and lymphatic capillaries through osmosis) and ends with excretion (undigested materials are eliminated by defecation).)
In a symbolic sense, digestion is related to mindfulness meditation something to understand it or suffering to be endure with patience: "I still can not digest the news", "Losing my job was for me a fairly tough to digest."

New York Mets minor league pitcher Brandon Welch has been suspended 50 games for his second drug violation.
The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball has suspended New York Mets minor league pitcher Brandon Welch for 50 games for testing positive for a drug of abuse for the second time, according to Danny Wild of MiLB.com.
The 23-year-old's suspension will go into effect at the start of the 2015 season. Welch was picked in the fifth round of the 2012 draft by the Mets. In 2014, he went 2-2 for the Brooklyn Cyclones, earning a 5.18 ERA through 33 innings in 14 appearances, including three starts. The right-hander struck out 21 batters and walked 12.
• CORCORAN: Does No. 1 farm system ranking spell success for MLB teams?
Major League Baseball's "drugs of abuse" include cocaine, marijuana, heroin, LSD and ecstasy. Players receive a warning after a first offense and a 50-game suspension after a second.
Minor leaguers who test positive for a performance-enhancing substance receive a 50-game suspension automatically.
The league has already suspended four players for violations of the minor league drug program this year, including Mets minor league infielder L.J. Mazzilli.

Coming to semiconductors, the world today is discussing the viability of 450mm fabs. I am well aware that Malcolm Penn has been pushing for 450mm fabs across Europe. I believe that one such fab will cost in the excess of $25 billion, if not more. So, who will invest that kind of money in India? Do we have clean water and 24-hour electricity supply in any state that's required for such a fab? What will this so-called 450mm fab manufacture? Does the fab have a blueprint in place? Well, have we even addressed any of these questions?

Lift off! PEI is flying high, just in time for one of the most exciting years in our history
MRSB Group's Managing Partner Shaun MacIsaac on the importance of flight to Prince Edward Island and his new role with the Charlottetown Airport Authority
As a small province, Prince Edward Island is lucky to have quick and convenient access to the rest of Canada via two major travel routes. The Confederation Bridge has now been connecting Islanders to 'the mainland' for over 15 years, while the Charlottetown Airport experienced another record year for airport traffic in 2013.
As a business owner I believe that the Charlottetown Airport is critical, both to our local economy and to our way of life here on PEI. Our small airport offers big opportunities to local businesses and organizations in the way of national and international connections, not to mention the ease and comfort of travel experienced by Islanders looking to visit family or take that dream vacation. In many ways, especially with the growing globalization of the world economy, the airport is what links the Island to the economic opportunities that lie beyond our waters. It is also part of what allows visitors to enjoy the sights, tastes and sounds that make our beautiful home what it is.
2014 marks the fourth year of my involvement with the Charlottetown Airport Authority (CAA) and my first year as Acting Chair. The mission of this visionary organization is to be Prince Edward Island's gateway to the world and to act as a catalyst for economic growth. I believe we can accomplish this through a set of strategic priorities and goals, which include enhancing existing air service to and from PEI, delivering the best 'small airport' service possible to passengers and engaging our local community.
Obviously 2014 is a very exciting year, with the 150th anniversary celebrations kicking off and predictions of a tourism boom that will benefit small and large business alike. As a PEI 2014 corporate sponsor, and an organization that believes in the importance of helping to make this event the best it can be, the Airport Authority is currently working with the airlines to increase access to the Island. I don't think there's much doubt that Prince Edward Island is the place to be this year, and we want to make sure that everyone has the chance to see what we have to offer.

Need help? Advice?
10-6 EST, m-f
The Cybex Priam Stroller is now available with Matte Black frames – all the elegance with a little less flash! This model comes with big, tough all-terrain wheels and the gorgeous, ultra-cozy Lux Seat.
The Cybex Priam Stroller with Lux Seat & All-Terrain Wheels is a truly formidable royal ride, with the most comfortable seat and toughest wheels available for this stroller model. The Priam is an extraordinarily adaptable and flexible stroller as well, transforming handily to suit your travel needs and your child's developmental stage, and the unusual and elegant styling is distinctive enough for any little prince or princess (or king or queen!).
The travel options with the Priam stroller start at birth: this configuration of the Priam comes with the Lux Seat, which can lie flat for optimal support and comfort for your child. Or, you can purchase the gorgeous Priam Bassinet (sold separately), to form a truly opulent pram, or add on a Cybex Aton Q or Cloud Q infant car seat (sold separately), to form a seamless, adapter-free travel system to ease transitions from car-to-stroller-to-house and back again.
The Lux Seat itself has every feature you could possibly want: for starters, it's reversible, so your child can gaze up at you or face the world. It also includes a padded seat inlay to snuggle your child, and an adjustable leg rest so you can tweak your child's position for perfect comfort. The truly enormous extendable sun canopy banishes UV rays with UVP50+ sun protection, while it allows you to peer into the rear viewing window. And you'll love the convenience of the one-handed recline mechanism, and the side-opening bumper bar, which is upholstered with lovely and sturdy faux leather.
At the center of the Priam Stroller is the lovely and lightweight frame (weighing 10.8 pounds), which boasts an ultra-compact, ultra-easy one-handed fold - it folds standing up with the seat still attached, making it super-easy to stow in your trunk or hallway closet.
This configuration of the Priam also comes with All-Terrain Wheels, adding even more versatility to this stylish ride: with these big, chunky wheels, you can thunder through grass, mud, and playground mulch, and skim over sidewalk cracks with the greatest of ease. The tough wheels don't add much weight either: the frame, seat, and wheels together add up to 27 pounds, putting it on the low end for such a fully-featured stroller!
With any wheels and any seat, the Priam can conquer far more territory and adapt to a wider variety of spaces than your average stroller. For instance, the tall seat means that you can use it as a high chair at restaurants, and an unusual two-wheel position helps you roll the Priam stroller up and down stairs, or through sand and snow. Accessories add even more flexibility: you can even buy this stroller some skis (sold separately)!
Ultimately, the Cybex Priam Stroller is a tough contender in the luxury stroller market, conquering urban environments everywhere with style and ease. It's a formidable stroller for a formidable family - one that, perhaps, looks just like yours.
The Cybex Priam Stroller is available with two seat options and three wheel options – you'll find all six combos of wheels and seats here at Magic Beans.

Because +Louis Porter asked for it. I decided to open up with two more Jaunter Rogue Talents.
Jaunter's Slice
Prerequisites: rogue 4, Jaunter's Hop, worships deity that can grant clerics the Trickery and Travel domains (or their subdomains)
Benefits: As a swift action, the rogue can expend a mote of movement to teleport some part of a creatures body into the closest empty square chose by the jaunter, this deals 1d6 points of damage + 1d6 points of damage for every two rogue class levels. A successful Will Save (DC 10+1/2 the rogue's class level + her Charisma modifier) results in half damage. The actual damage type is subject to GM determination but the default is slashing, resulting from a portal slicing off a portion of the victims exterior, a failed save usually resulting in more internal injury but it is still subject to Damage Reduction unless it is overcome by magic and slicing weapons.
Jaunter's Removal
Prerequisites: rogue 14, Jaunter's Hop, Jaunter's Slice, worships deity that can grant clerics the Trickery and Travel domains (or their subdomains)
Benefits: As a move action, the rogue can expend 3 motes of movement to teleport a vital organ out from inside the body of a living creature that is within 25 ft. + 5 ft./2 rogue class levels . If the subject fails a Will save (DC 10+1/2 the rogue's class level + her Charisma modifier) it suffers 2d6 points Constitution damage, plus 2 points of Constitution damage per round, and is rendered helpless. A greater restoration, limited wish, miracle, regenerate, or wish spell is required to negate this damage. A successful save results in the victim suffering only 2 points of Constitution damage (as the spell instead teleports a non-vital organ) and negates the helpless condition. After suffering this damage, a subject that succeeded on the saving throw is immune to this rogue's Jaunter's Removal for 24 hours. This is considered a spell-like ability with a caster level equal to the rogue's class level.
If this rogue is at least 16th level she can teleport a target creature or object into a solid surface or object that she can see within close range (25 feet + 5 feet/two rogue class levels). This has the same effect as a standard extraction except it can affect a non-living creature, and the subject becomes half embedded or fully embedded in the object. The same spells or effects will negate the embedded effect.

This probably wasn't the sort of awards show recognition Eddie Redmayne had in mind.
Still, the Les Misérables actor—or, more accurately, the health of the Les Misérables actor—was certainly the talk of yesterday's BAFTA Awards.
That's because after the Brit's dashing red carpet arrival at the London ceremony, he was doing a different kind of dashing altogether. Namely, to the backstage bathroom after falling ill with a bout of food poisoning.

Ross Abelow is a wonderful New York attorney that specializes in family law. He works to keep each family he represents legal and above board at all times. Ross is good at what he does. He is always making sure to keep up with any changes in laws. Any family member that needs legal representation, Ross will provide counseling. He can help with living wills, marriage documents, purchase agreements, and Last wills. He also does a lot of entertainment contracts. Ross Abelow graduated and begun work immediately. He hopes to help the unwanted animals in the city as well.
Ross Abelow is setting up a go fund me page for stray animals in New York and the surrounding areas. The go fund me page will benefit the local animal shelters as well. These shelters will use the funds to purchase food, blankets, medicine, and help with housing for more homeless animals. Shelters now are so full that they can not accommodate others. People need to adopt these animals so others will have a chance at a good life. Each dog or cat that is brought into the shelter off the street is given a chance at life. The ones that remain on the street are always fending for themselves the best that they can. These dogs and cats fight to stay warm in the winter. Helping by donating to the go fund me page will help these animals find a home and food.
When Ross Abelow was a little boy he loved animals. Most little boys hope to have a dog of their own. Training a dog and making sure he or she is healthy is the first steps a shelter takes to help to place the dog in a loving home. When looking for a reason to donate, look toward the reason of being kind and loving to something less fortunate than you.
If ever there is a need for a good family attorney, look at Legal Lighthouse for the list of local attorneys that specialize in what you need. You can find attorneys that specialize in helping in criminal cases, hit and run cases, worker's compensation cases, document and contract law, and big construction law. Ross Abelow will be happy to point you in the right direction.

Ever wondered what lies behind the hood of the humble Task Manager. Wonder no more…
The Task Manager in Windows is one of the most useful and easily accessible tools. It is virtually a window into the innards of your computer. You can: open new programs, kill running tasks, monitor CPU utilisation, get networking statistics etc. You can also use the task manager as a security diagnostic tool—to find malicious programs that might be running. Yet most people don't exploit all the capabilities of the Task Manager. That's about to change...
Open It
Everybody knows how to do this: the (in) famous [Ctrl] [Alt] [Delete] key combination. Click on the Task Manager tab and out pops the Task Manager (referred onwards as TM). You could also access the TM by [Ctrl] [Shift] [Esc]. Right-clicking on the Windows taskbar and clicking on the Task Manager on the menu also does the job.
Under The Hood
You will see a window with four tabs: Applications, Processes, Performance and Networking. Each of these tabs is used to get real time information about the state of your system.
This tab lists all the tasks that are currently running, and also their status. This is the first place to head to if your system is slowing down or has hung: Properly executing tasks have the status listed as running, while tasks that have frozen will show as "Not Responding". To end an application, select it and click on the End Task button. You have two other buttons: Switch To and New Task. Switch To brings the selected application's window to the foreground.
Right-clicking any task brings up a menu which pretty much does what the buttons do.
The Processes tab lists all the currently running processes. This is actually the most useful part of the TM. What is a process, you ask? Processes are running instances of applications. Consider the anti-virus program running in the background. A typical anti-virus program does several things simultaneously—checking for updates, scanning for threats, etc. So although you only see one anti-virus, it is running many simultaneous processes. You can set the priority for each process by right-clicking a process and selecting the Set Priority option. Selecting another menu option End Process Tree ends that particular process and any other process which it has spawned.
In the Processes tab you would typically see cryptic names like ctfmon.exe, svchost.exe, mdm.exe or winlogon.exe. They are the names of all the processes—good or bad. Some of these are critical to the system, and so cannot be changed. Since the process names are unfamiliar, this is where the Go To Process in the Applications tab comes in handy. Clicking on the option takes you to the corresponding process name.
Here is a brief description of some common system processes. A point to be noted: many Trojan horses, worms or viruses can have similar names as these processes, but the real ones always run from the System32 folder.
Svchost.exe: This is a system process. It stands for Service Host, a generic name for processes that are run by different system services like audio services, cryptographic services, DHCP, system clock etc. There could be multiple copies of svchost.exe running at the same time. To see which services are using svchost.exe go to Start > Run, type cmd and then type Tasklist /SVC.
Spoolsv.exe: It is a system process which handles printing tasks. It is essential if you need to print.
Lsass.exe: Stands for Local Security Authority Service. It is an essential system process that deals in local security and login policies. Terminating this process will make your system unstable.
Alg.exe: The Application Layer Gateway service is needed if you are using a third party firewall or Internet Connection Sharing. Shut it down and you will loose connection to the Net.
Csrss.exe: It executes the Client/Server Runtime Server Subsystem. All the graphical commands in Windows are executed by csrss.exe. Terminating this process will make the system unstable.
Explorer.exe: Windows Explorer is what runs all the eye candy. It runs the Windows Graphical Shell which includes the Start Menu, Taskbar, Desktop, etc. If you shut down explorer.exe you won't be able the use the GUI.
Smss.exe: Stands for Session Manager Sub System. It handles user sessions on the system and should not be shut down.
Services.exe: It is a system process which manages the start up and shut down processes.
The third tab is a graphical depiction of the CPU usage and Page File usage plotted against time. It's pretty much self explanatory: the only thing to remember is that if the graphs in both the cases are continuously at half the total height then your system needs some trouble shooting. There are statistics showing the number of handles (a unique value for resources like files and registry keys used by programs), threads and processes. The Commit Charge group shows the total memory allocated to programs, physical memory means the details of memory on the RAM and kernel memory means the memory used by the operating system kernel and various drivers.
The networking tab is the fourth tab in the TM. It shows a visual representation of the network connection. If you suspect presence of malicious software, shut down all apps and check the networking tab. Too many spikes in the graph might indicate that programs are connecting to the Internet without your permission.
It Boils Down To…
The TM is an easy and useful utility, though there are tools like Process Explorer which extend its functionality. So the moment you find your system acting up, don't panic. Press those three keys and become a certified geek.

"Fire and Rain"
Mesquite Sand Dunes, Death Valley National Park
This sunrise image from the Mesquite dunes is one of my favorites from my recent Death Valley trip, but it almost never happened. There's a familiar adage among landscape photographers for getting great images: "f/8 and be there." F/8 is the lens aperture setting (which may or may not be the right setting, of course, depending on the circumstances), but the be there part is something that I almost had to learn the hard way on this morning.
Wind and rain had been drubbing my tent for much of the night before, and when my alarm went off at 4:50 am, there was a steady rain falling and no hint of a break in the sky. I dozed on top of my sleeping bag for a while, thinking there would be no good light for sunrise and no reason to head out to the dunes as I had planned. Maybe 30 minutes later I sat straight up with the thought, "Dang, I'm stupid! I need to get out there and at least give it a shot." Sure enough, as I quickly collected my gear and jumped in my 4Runner, I noticed a very thin sliver of clear sky on the horizon where I expected the sun to rise. I raced down the road toward the dunes, about 25 miles away, worried that my delay might have already caused me to miss a great opportunity.
When I got to the parking area near the dunes it was still raining, but my pulse quickened as I saw faint sunrays start to filter through the distant break in the clouds. I hustled out onto the dunes, noticing the lines of footprints of two other photographers. It's still a bit of a hike from the parking lot out onto the main area of the dunes, and I knew I didn't have much time. I had scouted this area the previous evening, and saw now that to capture the rising sun, get a good composition of the dunes, and stay out of the frame of the two other photogs, I would need to quickly hike around their back flank to the far side. The dunes were starting to take on a surreal glow as I scurried around to the spot I thought would work. The wind was picking up, the rain was still coming down, the horizon was starting to explode with a sweet filtered light, and my quads were burning as I sprinted up the last steep dune with my heavy gear, wet sand flying in my wake.
I got to the crest of the dune and stood stunned for a moment by the sublime scene of "fire and rain" before me. Then I noticed one of the other photographers on top of a dune in front of me (and lots of unattractive footprints), disturbing my planned composition. (AAARGH!) Sometimes it's nice to include a human element for scale and impact, but this wasn't going to work. So, I looked around quickly to assess my options, then dashed over and up to the top of the next dune, which seemed to be the tallest one around. I imagine I would have been a comical sight, particularly if replayed in slow motion, desperately sprinting the final yards to the crest of the dune while simultaneously extending and adjusting my tripod legs and attaching my camera.
I positioned the tripod and camera as quickly as I could, awkwardly struggling to stabilize it in the sloped sand, trying to keep the rain off the front element of the camera lens, and quickly adjusting camera settings and composition. I started firing off bracketed exposures, quickly at first, then slowing down as I began to just take in and savor the amazing scene. The EXIF data from my exposures tell me the good light lasted less than 5 minutes, but it was the kind of experience where time stood still for me.
I started to reorient myself to my broader surroundings, and had a sinking feeling as I realized I hadn't been paying attention to whether there had been any lightning around. I was, after all, standing at the top of the tallest dune in the vicinity, holding on to a metal pole (tripod), in a rainstorm. I had been so focused on the sunrise and golden light in front of me I hadn't thought to TURN AROUND to see what I'd been missing: a giant double rainbow that was so close I could practically see the wee pots o' gold on each end! (Duh… why didn't I think of that earlier? Sunrays coming right at me through the rain?) I spun around and clumsily tried to get a decent photo, but 24mm wasn't even close to being wide enough, a good composition eluded me, and the rain was hitting me straight on anyway. I resigned myself to just enjoying the moment. The hasty snapshot (of one end) doesn't do it justice, but what was really interesting was that because I was high up on the dune, the arc of the rainbow wrapped around nearly 270 degrees (all the way around above me, and partially below me). It was like I was up in the middle of a rainbow circle.
The light show ended moments later, and even though I hadn't noticed any lightning, I decided to head for lower ground. I spent a good 20 minutes back at the car "chimping" at the images on the small display screen, and hoping my processing skills could do justice to what I had just experienced. Most of all, I was just happy to be there on this morning. And if you're wondering: yes, my aperture for "Fire and Rain" was set to f/8. 😉

NSW Container Deposit Scheme delays launch until December 2017
The NSW Container Deposit Scheme draft legislation was announced in September 2016. The Baird government developed the scheme, also referred to as "cash for containers," in association with the NSW EPA and slated it for launch on 1 July 2017.
On Friday 17 February, news emerged that the scheme will now be delayed until 1 December 2017, allowing an extra five months for further development and implementation – an essential extension given that infrastructure, resources, and a manager and deliverer for the sceheme have yet to be nominated.
Numerous environmental groups, including Keep NSW Beautiful, wrote to the government to advise an extension to the rollout was needed in order to ensure the plan that will take effect across the state – a massive undertaking – is the right one.
According to Government News, NSW Environment and Local Government Minister Gabrielle Upton said "This will be the biggest initiative to tackle litter in the state's history – stakeholder feedback is vital to get the scheme right."
Local Government NSW President Keith Rhoades said "The scheme has the potential to cut litter in NSW by up to 43 per cent, but the complexity of the collection and refund processes required have become increasingly clear."
We'll keep you posted as the plans for NSW's first Container Deposit Scheme continue, including any deadline changes or announcements. We know that to best fight litter, you need all the information about the infrastructure supporting the fight, and we'll keep doing our best to bring it to you.

Scott Borthwick thinks the challenge of being Durham's No 1 spinner next season can help him follow Joe Root into the England team.
With Ian Blackwell forced to retire through injury and no replacement signed, the Sunderland-born leg- spinner will shoulder the responsibility of being Durham's spinner when their season starts next week.
Gareth Breese is the squad's only other senior tweaker but, even with Blackwell missing for most of last season, he was still regarded as a one- day specialist.
It will put a lot of extra pressure on Borthwick – and the 22-year-old is confident it will bring the best out in him again.
He said: "I cannot wait. I am really looking forward to doing my best for Durham.
"I am buzzing, I really want the season to start.
"I was the leading spinner in the Twenty20 last year when Blackie (Blackwell) was not there and Breesie was injured. It brought a bit of maturity out of me.
"I know now if there is going to be spin bowled, I will be the one bowling it.
"I wil not be standing at slip hoping to get a bowl. That is a massive confidence boost. Hopefully, I can kick on in that role."
In his first five County Championship games of last season, Borthwick took one wicket in just 17.5 overs.
However, once Paul Collingwood came in as captain and told Borthwick he was his first-choice spinner, he responded with 14 more scalps.
Borthwick added: "The first half of the season was a struggle for not just myself but team-wise,.
"It was really difficult to bowl at the Riverside when your fingers were cold and it was raining all the time.
"Team-wise, the second half of the season we were fantastic.
"Hopefully, we can start this season the way we finished the last one.
"Hopefully. it will be a bit easier to get the fingers warm.
"My aim is to kick on and do really well for myself and for Durham as well.
"Colly coming in as captain helped, he is a fantastic captain.
"Phil (Mustard, the previous skipper) tried his best, he is a great bloke and a great cricketer but Colly has come in with experience of captaincy at the highest stage. It was a big turnaround and his own form improved massively as well.
"Hopefully, we can start this season the way we finished.
"The lads who have been at the Riverside have been working hard to make sure that happens."
Borthwick has just returned from the England Lions tour of Australia.
Like the team as a whole, he did not have the best of times Down Under, featuring in only one game.
However, Root's emergence this winter has encouraged him he can add to his one Twenty20 and two one- day international caps.
Borthwick said: "My aim is to get into that England side and stay there. had a bit of a sniff at it in 2011, I played two (one-day) games and I just want to play more.
"Joe and I were both on the Lions' tour last year and two years ago we were together at the Darren Lehman Academy in Adelaide.
"I have known him for a while and we get on quite well. I am pleased for him, he has done really well.
"He is a good player and I think he can get even better.
"The England Lions is all routed to the senior team. If someone gets injured you would hope to get your chance. For me, it is good to see players getting their chance."
