Making Standard Tab and Menu Icons for Android Apps
When designing Android apps or designing graphics for Android apps, it is essential to conform to srict guidelines. Re-using images made for other operating systems, especially desktop-based, is not a good idea. Foreign icons will look out of place at best, or will make your Android apps hardly recognizable at worst.
Designing Standard Tab and Menu Icons for Android Apps Description: When designing Android apps or drawing graphics for mobile apps, one must conform to srict guidelines. Re-using icons designed for other operating systems, especially desktop-based, is not a good idea. Foreign images will look out of place at best, or will render your Android apps appear hardly recognizable at worst. Body: There are strict guidelines published in reference to Android icons. Different design guidelines are available for tab icons and menu graphics.
Tab icons represent individual tabs in tabbed interface. Tab icons must be supplied in two distinct states: selected and unselected. It is recommended that tab icons are designed as simple, flat shapes as opposed to icons shown in 3D or isometric projection.
Android OS and Android apps can run on a wide range of different platforms employing a wide range of hardware. In connection to icon graphics, those platforms can have different display sizes, screen resolutions, pixel density and dimensions. To accommodate the wide range of screens, Android developers should supply all tab icons used in their apps in at least three resolutions to be displayed on low, medium, and high density displays. Pixel-wise, the outer boundaries for the three sizes are defined as 24x24, 32x32, and 48x48 pixels. The size of the shape itself should not exceed 22x22, 28x28, and 42x42 pixels respectively. By including all three standard resolutions, designers can ensure that their apps will display properly on a wide range of platforms running the Android OS.
Menu icons are drawn in the "options" menu, and are shown to users when they press the Menu button. Similar to tab icons,
menu icons
are specified as flat, grayscale images. Like tab icons, developers cannot use 3D or isometric projections.
Pixel resolutions for menu icons are defined in a slightly more comprehensive way as opposed to to tab icons. Instead of two sizes defined for tab graphics (inner shape and boundary box), the inner shape of menu icons can be smaller or larger depending on whether they are square-shaped or not. If a menu icon is square-shaped, its dimensions should be smaller than for
shaped otherwise. The reason for specifying two different sizes is to establish a consistent visual weight across the two icon types.
The outer dimensions for ldpi, mdpi and hdpi icons are described as 36x36, 48x48, and 72x72 pixels respectively. Inner shapes for square, low-definition icons is 22x22 pixels, while non-square icons should fit into a boundary box sized 24x24 pixels. Similarly, mdpi icons should fit 30x30 and 32x32 pixel boundaries, while high-definition images should fit into 44x44 and 48x48 pixel boundaries respectively.
Instead of drawing your own icons conforming to these guidelines, Android developers have an option of obtaining stock images from professional designers. As an example, Android Tab Icons by Aha-Soft offer 112 unique tab graphics in selected and unselected states and all three standard resolutions. If an additional size is needed, developers can produce icons at any size by accessing scalable vector sources. Android Tab Icons can be viewed and downloaded at

If you write a thesis or dissertation, a literature review will be required to place your research within existing knowledge. This may be included in the introduction or theoretical framework, or it may be a separate chapter before the chapters of methodology and tests.
A literature review may also be assigned to you as a stand-alone journal. In this case, the material will look slightly different, but the literature review process will follow the same steps.
To define your Research Question Choose a Topic
A key study subject should guide your literature review. Remember, it is not a set of loosely linked studies in a field, but rather describes context and research trends related to a particular study problem that you are synthesizing, interpreting and analyzing.
Important tips fo you:
- Make sure that your research is not too wide or too narrow. Is this manageable?
- Start writing down terms related to your question. These are going to be useful for later searches.
- If you have the opportunity, talk to your professor about your topic.
Choose a scope for your literature review – collect and evaluate literature
You need a narrowly defined subject before you begin to search for literature.
When you write a thesis or research paper's literature review page, you must look for literature related to your research problem and questions. This is the first step to understanding your topic's state of knowledge before you start your own research.
When you write a literature review as a stand-alone task, you'll need to pick a subject and establish a central issue to guide your quest. This question must be answered without collecting or generating new data, unlike a dissertation research question. You should only be able to respond on the basis of a study of current publications.
Important tips to choose a scope;
- How many studies need to be examined? How extensive is it supposed to be? How many years does it have to cover?
- This may depend on your assignment. How many sources does the assignment require?
Select the databases that you are going to use to search.
Start by creating a list of keywords related to the topic and question of your research. Some useful databases for searching for newspapers and articles include the library catalog of your university.
- Google Scholar JSTOR EBSCO
- Project Muse (humanities and social sciences) Medline (life sciences and biomedicine)
- EconLit (economics) Inspec (physics, engineering and computer science).
- If you find a useful article, check the reference list to find more relevant sources.
- Take note of frequent references to find any significant publications that did not appear in your keyword search.
- When you keep reading the same stories, books or posts, be sure to check them out.
- Make a list of your search servers.Please remember to include extensive repositories such as WorldCat and, if applicable, Dissertations & Theses.
Find the literature and run your searches.
Keep a track record of your activity!
- Carefully review the research study abstracts. That's going to save you time.
- Write down the searches you're doing in each database so you can repeat them if you need to do so later (or stop dead-end searches you've already tried).
- Use the research studies bibliographies and references to locate others.
- If you lack any key works in the area, tell your professor or a scholar in the field.
- Using RefWorks to keep track of quotes from your study. See the tutorial for RefWorks if you need help.
Reviewing the literature
Some questions to help you analyze the research:
- what was your study's research question? What the researchers are trying to find out?
- Was the research funded by a source that might impact the findings?
- What were the methodologies of the research? Analyze your review of the literature, the samples and variables used the results and conclusions.
- Looks like the research is complete? Could it have been more sound? What additional questions does it raise?
- Why do you think that's when there are conflicting studies?
- What is the view of the researchers in the field? Was this study cited? if so, how was this analyzed?
There are different approaches to organizing a review of the body of literature. Before you begin writing, you should have a rough idea of your strategy. You may mix several of these approaches depending on the length of your literature review— for example, the overall structure may be thematic, but each subject is addressed chronologically.
The easiest approach is to trace the theme's development over time. Nonetheless, be careful to avoid simply mentioning and summarizing sources in order if you choose this approach. Try to analyze patterns, turning points, and key discussions that have shaped the field's direction. Give your interpretation of how and why some developments have taken place.
You can organize your literature review into subsections that cover different aspects of the subject if you have identified any recurring central themes.
For example, when you study research on differences in migrant health outcomes, key topics may include health care policy, language barriers, cultural attitudes, legal status, and access to economics.
When you derive your sources from a variety of disciplines or areas using a variety of research methods, you may want to compare the results and conclusions of different approaches. For example: Look at what results have emerged in qualitative versus quantitative research Discuss how the topic has been approached through empirical versus theoretical research.
A study of literature is often the foundation of a theoretical framework. You can use it to explore key concepts with different theories, models and meanings. You might argue for the relevance of a specific theoretical approach, or combine various theoretical concepts to create a framework for your research.
How to organize the literature review
The emphasis and intent of the literature review should be clearly defined in the introduction.
- You might want to divide the body into subsections depending on the length of your literature review. For each subject, time period, or methodological approach, you can use a subheading.
- When you compose, you can follow these tips:
- summarize and synthesize: give a summary of each source's main points and incorporate them into a cohesive whole.
- Analyze and interpret: not just paraphrase other authors — add your own interpretations where appropriate,
- examine the importance of results in relation to the literature as a whole.
In summary, the key findings from the literature should be summarized and emphasized.

A pretty pillow {DIY}
Who doesn't love a good scatter cushion?! I'm a self-professed decor enthusiast and for ages now I have been wanting to give my cushions a bit of an update. I had this image in my mind of a navy blue ombre tie-dyed scatter cushion and I thought it would be stunning to try and create it.
Very sneakily, I waited for a weekend when my mom was coming to visit to arrange this little DIY project. My mom studied fashion design, has owned her own boutique, is a master seamstress and she's amazing at tie-dye, from back in the 90's when it was super trendy! So, it may have been cheating, a little bit! BUT… I can do a bit of sewing and a pillowcase is just a square, so what could go wrong!?
This was actually super easy to do and didn't take too long at all. I am pretty happy with the end result. Here is a list of the items you will need and the steps to achieving this stunning DIY dye cushion…
You will need:
- 2 x 60x60cm cushion inners
- 2 x white fabric squares 60x60cm
- 2 x other fabric of choice (for backing of cushions)
- 2 x 60cm zips
- Fabric Dye
- Cut your cushion fabric to size (mine are 60x60cm)
- Rinse your fabric out
- Tie off the area that you want to remain undyed
- Bring water to the boil & add some salt.
- Mix your dye according to package instructions
I made the first batch of dye a bit lighter by not adding all the dye to the water, to create the ombre effect.
- Dip your fabric into the dye as far you'd like the lighter blue to go
- Remove and add more dye to the water to create a darker blue
- Dip the fabric again a bit above the lighter blue section
- Remove from the water and squeeze out the excess liquid
- Rinse in cold water and untie the ties
- Dry in the sun and Iron once dry
- Sew up your cushions and bask in the amazing feeling of creating two scatter cushions for only R150!
This was a really fun project and I must say that I am hooked. I am so keen to practice my sewing skills and keep making things for our little home <3 They turned out exactly as I had pictured in my head. The blue is a bit brighter than I hoped, but I am sure it will fade with a few washes.
Love, Mix

Free Gift Certificates!
Free Advertising!
Free Carpet Cleaning!
How To Give All Of Your Clients A $74 Dollar Appreciation Gift And Generate A Flood Of Referrals For No Effort, No Time, And No Money!
Dear Fellow Business Owner, Hello, it's Antaiwn Evans owner of Cleanup Man Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning. This letter should give you a bit more information about the way we can help each other. What I'm going to tell you can be very profitable to both of us. So, let me show you exactly what this strategy is and how it can benefit you.
You'll Get Carpet Cleaning Gift Certificates Worth $74.00 For Your Clients
I want to make it very clear that you do not pay for these. I provide them to you free of charge. I'll tell you why in just a minute. First, let me tell you a little about this free gift. It provides your clients with one good sized room (up to 200 square feet!) of free carpet cleaning. The service that I'll provide is my full scale, nine-step carpet cleaning service using a state-of-the-art, van mounted, steam cleaning machine. This would normally cost your clients at least $74 dollars so they can easily see the value of the gift you are providing.
You Get Free Advertising
I will pay for these free gifts to be mailed out on your letterhead, in your envelopes, with a letter written from your perspective (I've included a sample of this). So, when your client opens this letter it will be plain as day that the letter is from you. (I don't know about you, but when someone I do business with sends me a gift, I am forever loyal and I tell EVERYONE about them. One time my car salesmen sent me a $7 dollar tin of cookies as a thank you and, over the next few years, I bought three more cars from him and told every friend that was looking for a car to go see him. I guess I'm a real sucker for cheap cookies.) Plus, I'll promote your company - When your clients call me to their home to claim their gift, I will happily deliver promotional coupons from your office. What more could you ask?
Free Carpet Cleaning For You!
As a business person, I wouldn't want to recommend my clients to a company unless I could know what kind of service they'd get. So, if you are holding back the free gift for your clients just because you haven't seen what I can do, then by all means put me to the test! I'll clean the dirtiest room in your own home for free, if you like what you see, you can then feel comfortable recommending my service to your own clients.
Why On Earth Am I Giving Away My Cleaning?
I've come to realize that giving away a sample of my service to the right prospects is way more profitable than spending money on advertising. I know that once someone has seen my service they will call me again and again. Plus, some people will actually get the rest of their house cleaned right away. So, to make this work, I need to be sure that these free gifts only go to my target clientele. We've already determined that our companies share a lot of the same clients so this promotion is guaranteed to work wonderfully with your company.
How To Get Your Free Gift Certificates And Have Me Pay For The Mailing
It's actually quite simple. Here's what you need to do: Call me at (559) 234-2043 or E-MAIL and say, "I'd like Free Gifts, Free Advertising, Free Promoting, and Free Carpet Cleaning." We'll set a 10 minute appointment (I know you're busy) to meet and briefly talk about how this business building strategy works for both of us. I look forward to helping you generate a ton of referrals with this promotion!
Antaiwn Evans
P.S. Since I also recommend those who work with me on this promo, each type of business is exclusive. I send a TON of business owners to this site so...first come, first serve! Don't miss out! Reserve Your Free Gift Certificates! P.P.S. I want to make this as easy and simple for you as possible. So all you need to do is review the sample letter and certificates I've included and call me (559) 234-2043

If the outcome of last weeks French Open was predictable in its unpredictability, the history of this weeks European Open suggests normal service will be resumed. Of the eight winners this century, six had either won a Major, the Order of Merit or played in the Ryder Cup. And as Stephen Dodd won during the best spell of his career in 2006, only 2005 champion Kenneth Ferrie could really be labelled an outsider.
Past comparisons are only of so much use though, as all of that previous form came at the K Club in Ireland. This year the tournament switches to a new venue in Kent, for which there is no top-class tournament history. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, the London Club has rave reviews with the mixture of generous fairways, large greens and reachable par-5s pointing to low-scoring.
Like most Nicklaus designs, it sounds like a second-shot course, which normally favours the best players so theres every chance those tournament trends will persist despite the change in venue. Four class acts stand out as particularly obvious candidates, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Justin Rose and arguably the best player in the world on current form, ROBERT KARLSSON.
If the tournament does turn out to be a birdie-fest, I couldnt back Garcia with free money. Given a tough Major venue where his long game brilliance is emphasised, then Sergio must always be a candidate. In a putting contest though, he invariably gets left behind. Similarly, while Order of Merit holder Justin Rose is always respected on his rare European starts, I couldnt back him on this seasons efforts. As for Harrington, I do think this course is tailor-made for his talents, but fear that his main focus over the next fortnight is preparation for defence of the Claret Jug.
Karlsson makes much more appeal than his ranking superiors, and rates a cracking each-way bet at 16/1. Its a minor miracle how he failed to pick up a title during May and June, when playing the best golf of his life. After finishing 8th in the Masters, the Swede finished no worse than 4th in his next five events including the US Open. Even last weekends worst in ages 13th involved a strong finish at the weekend, and was hardly a disaster given the fact hes never performed at Le Golf National. The London Club, in contrast, looks perfect for his birdie-chasing talents.
A final round 68 in France suggested IAN POULTER is now fully recovered from the wrist injury that forced him out at Torrey Pines. Whatever his ridiculously inflated self-opinion, Poulter is always a serious candidate in Europe and is another attacking player who could make the most of this layout. Hes always worth keeping on side when available at decent odds in suitable conditions, as nine professional victories show hes capable of taking chances to win when they arrive.
Im not so sure the new venue will suit defending champion Colin Montgomerie though, another player who struggles to keep up when low scoring is the order of the day. Hes also half of last weeks odds, an over-reaction to making the frame that can also be detected in the prices of Soren Hansen and Richard Green.
In direct contrast, the odds for NICK DOUGHERTY have been enlarged on the back of his customary annual struggle at Le Golf National. 50/1 seems too big considering he finished 4th on his previous European Tour start, and again Dougherty looks the attacking type that I expect to thrive in low-scoring conditions. Over the past three months, the Scouser ranks 1st for putting average and 4th in birdie average.
40/1 chance Charl Schwartzel has similar qualities and is probably overdue a payout week after several near-misses but at twice the price, I prefer the chances of a pair who came through Open qualifying on Monday. Firstly Ive mentioned ALEXANDER NOREN several times this year as a first-time winner-in-waiting. While theres been no reward to date, Im happy to persist whilst hes available at big prices. Noren seems to play well on alternate weeks, so having played pretty well in Germany a fortnight ago Im unconcerned that he missed the cut in France on a course Id never expect to suit his attacking game.
Finally, JOHAN EDFORS proved three times in 2006 that he knows how to get over the winning line, and therefore warrants a bet at 80/1 on a course that is ideally suited to his talents. A birdie-machine on his day, I could see Edfors shooting very low here. Earlier in the year, Edfors was playing the best golf of his career without nailing a win but has gone off the boil in recent weeks. Mondays form in Open qualifying was his first for a few weeks, and could spark a further revival.
Good Luck!

Louisiana Republican AG Calls for Single Payer Health Care Because Insurance Co's Can't be Trusted
A Republican Sues for Single Payer Health Care
ThinkProgress spoke with Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell outside the Supreme Court on Wednesday. Caldwell opposes Obamacare and the individual mandate, but for a different reason than most of his fellow litigants: it props up the private health insurance industry. "Insurance companies are the absolute worst people to handle this kind of business," he declared. "I trust the government more than insurance companies." Caldwell went on to endorse the idea of a single-payer health care system, saying it'd "be a whole lot better" than Obamacare:
KEYES: You don't think the subsidies for low-income people are going to be helpful?
CALDWELL: No, no. The worst thing you can do is give it to an insurance company. I want to make my point. All insurance companies are controlled in their particular state. If you have a hurricane come up the east coast, the first one that's going to leave you when they gotta pay too many claims is an insurance company. Insurance companies are the absolute worst people to handle this kind of business. I trust the government more than insurance companies. If the government wants to put forth a policy where they will pay for everything and you won't have to go through an insurance policy, that'd be a whole lot better.

Kicking Off a Great New Year!
Why It's Doubly Important to Focus on Your Goals
2017 is behind us, and a great year it was – at least for ECI. With double digit revenue growth and an increasing list of new customers, 2017 was no doubt a heck of a year for ECI. This in a tough, sometimes declining market. We have a lot to be proud of, and we are!
2018 is here and with is a new year of hopes and aspirations. To kick-off the New Year, ECI's Global Sales and Marketing Division and top management met off site in our yearly Sales Kick-Off. This year the sales kick-off was located in Rome. As such, there was no better theme than the popular Dan Brown 'Angels and Demons' which accompanied us on our own 'path of enlightenment'.
As head of the team in charge of producing the SKO, I admit, that this is by far, the highlight of my year. There is no greater pleasure than spearheading, the one event that brings together the worldwide salesforce & virtually kick starts the year in terms of getting everyone on the same page and goal setting. Six months of hard work eventually culminate in a meeting of minds from all around the world, as sales managers, service managers, sales engineers and management gather for the event. An event tightly packed with learning sessions, demos, case studies and networking opportunities.
The work and organization involved in such events is massive, as anyone who has been involved with organizing such events knows. Whether it is looking out for the dietary needs of a wide variety of guest (which can range from food sensitivities to vegetarianism to dietary preferences, can you believe we had a few paleo dieters). Or the long presentations which need to be aligned and fine-tuned so that the sales force receives a cohesive message. Or perhaps it is the choice of theme which every year gives us a laugh or two and touches all aspects of the organization. All of these are under our careful watch and could not have been done without a dedicated team.
So much work goes into the preparation of such an event, that the event itself is often a last effort on top of a pile of efforts that have been expended up till then. Because of the short time frames, the event is usually fully packed and days are long. We did have a bit of time to enjoy the taste of Rome, but for the most part it is the atmosphere and our excellent team that get the ideas churning. I admit I am a sucker for passion, and there is nothing more engaging than a room full of people with a twinkle in their eye, gearing up for another year of fierce combat.
We had the opportunity to introduce our new Elastic Services Platform, train on it and experience a demo of our Muse software suite. We discussed plans for 5G, market trends, products and potential customer engagements. And yes we even discussed how we were going to win profitable business in these days of intense competition.
We recognized our best achievers at both personal, group and regional level. We heard from a group of our achievers about how to succeed. We even had an awesome, thought provoking presentation from our customers and contacts at Telecom Italia Sparkle – who took the opportunity to explain to us the situation as they see it. Peppering their presentations with interesting stories and anecdotes. And of course let us not forget our guest speaker Professor John Bessant, who told us a little bit about innovation and how it has changed over the years.
As a theme, Angels and Demons worked perfectly, adding a little humor to the intense learning sessions and helping us understand better who 'has what it takes' to be deemed an ECI Illuminati. In fact the team were tasked with solving a crossword, based on a list of clues from the story which were shared with them during the sessions.
And of course, I cannot go without thanking our speakers, case study leaders, demo leaders and all of those that worked behind the scenes to make this possible. From our security team, to procurements, to travel, and events management and organization. To our marketing and design team who worked for hours to ensure that this was the best sales kick off ever.
Well, we are back from the sales kick off, and the year lies ahead of us. Soon we will kick off the planning for the next SKO. I wonder where we'll host the next kick off and look forward to reaping the fruits of our labors with another stellar year. Thank you to my colleagues at ECI – I wish you a fantastic year!

KUSHIRO, HOKKAIDO – Abashiri Prison in Hokkaido allows well-behaved inmates to raise beef cattle at a nearby farm in a program designed to teach them that each life must be respected.
Meat from the black cattle has been on sale under the name Abashiri Kangoku Wagyu (Abashiri Prison Japanese Beef) at a shop next to the prison since February. Some of the cattle have earned the highest rank of A5 from the Tokyo-based Japan Meat Grading Association.
On the morning of April 22, one male inmate was brushing the back of a well-fed cow at a cattle shed at Futamigaoka farm, about 7 km away from the prison in Abashiri, which is located on the Sea of Okhotsk.
"We raise cattle from birth until they get shipped," the inmate, who is in his 30s, said. "We are learning firsthand how precious and transitory each life is."
The inmate, who has been working on the farm for a year, is one of eight Abashiri inmates taking care of some 100 head of cattle.
None of the inmates had any experience of cattle raising, according to the prison.
"People have warm feelings before animals," a prison official said. "We hope the time with living things will help them (the inmates) develop compassion toward others."
Abashiri Prison, which houses offenders serving sentences of less than 10 years, is the only jailhouse in Japan that has incorporated beef farming into its rehabilitation program.
At the farm, the inmates, who are all classified by the prison as well-behaved and likely be released on parole soon, work from 7:40 a.m. until 4:20 p.m., feeding cattle, cleaning the shed and maintaining the facility.
They also stay at an accommodation facility on the farm. The cattle will be shipped when they turn about 30 months or weigh 750 kg to 800 kg.
The inmate in his 30s said the cattle won high marks "probably because we give deep affection to each of them and try not to make them feel stress."
Out of five cows shipped on April 16, three received the highest A5 rank, while the remaining two were graded A4, according to the prison.
"Producing high quality meat largely depends on the raising environment as well as the bloodline and feed," said Yuichi Kubo, a judicial counselor who is supervising the program.
The prison started the farming program around 1997. Since Kubo took charge about four years ago, the quality of the beef has been improved with the cattle being fed more pasture grass and allowed to drink water anytime.
The beef produced at the farm has been distributed as Hokkaido-produced Wagyu through the Sapporo-based Hokuren federation of agricultural cooperatives.
In February, Aim Services Co., a Tokyo-based food service company, purchased some of the beef and started selling it at a shop next to the prison.
The shop said long lines form whenever prison beef is put on its shelves and noted popular cuts sell out immediately.
The beef is priced at ¥350 to ¥1,000 per 100 grams.

Melbourne couple married for 66 years say dancing keeps them young
By Nicole Mills and Jacinta Parsons
Every Saturday night, 92-year-old Wilhelmina Kortleven and her 87-year-old husband Frans put on their best clothes and their finest dancing shoes.
They wait eagerly at home to be picked up by members of a German folk band and driven to the kitsch restaurant The Cuckoo in the Dandenong Ranges.
The couple, who have been married for 66 years, are the unassuming star attraction of the entertainment offering at this outer-Melbourne venue.
Alongside the bulging smorgasbord, the pair twirl around the polished timber dancefloor every week, stunning diners with fast and nimble footwork that belies their ages.
Mrs Kortleven said the regular dancing kept her young.
"It keeps you mentally alert and I'm still very good in figures too. Nobody tricks me. They call me the bargain hunter in Coles," she said.
The Kortlevens have been coming to the Cuckoo for almost five decades but have been weekly attendees for at least the past six years.
In the past, when suburban dances were more common, they used to try different venues.
"We often had the German club, the Dutch club, the Slovenian club, even the Croatian club," she said.
"Wherever there was a dance we went there and we went only once a month to the Cuckoo, but nowadays it is every week.
"It's one day of the week I don't cook. My husband only gets breakfast and I have breakfast and that's all he gets because you've got to be hungry when you go to the Cuckoo."
Venue owner Daniela Koeppen Rosenfeld said the pair were an inspiration.
"There are no places left to be able to see two people dance the classical waltz or the two step and in harmony — the way they swing around together, it's like the two are one," she said.
"It makes me feel very young and fit — like if they can do it, I can too."
The Kortlevens met at a club in the Netherlands when Frans was 22 and Wilhelmina was 27.
They married in 1952 and moved to Australia the following year, escaping the devastation and housing shortage after World War II.
Although Wilhelmina was a champion dancer, Frans required a bit more work to raise him up to her lofty standards.
"He couldn't dance when I met him, but I used to teach beginners so it was easy," she said.
"I started dancing in 1947 in a championship in Holland. I was a champion then and I'm still fast. The quickstep I'm pretty good at now, and the polka."
Mr Kortleven said he was able to learn quickly under his wife's tutelage "because we got on so well".
It's this mutual adoration that also helped them through the hard times.
The pair could not have children, but rather than dwell on the past Mrs Kortleven prefers to think positively.
"It's a simple life. I'm happy with anything. Even at the school when they kids go past and they wave to me, little things like that make me happy."
Even a breast cancer diagnosis and mastectomy couldn't stop her from spinning her beloved around the dancefloor.
"I lost my breast last year, two weeks later I was back on the dancefloor," she said.
"Things like that don't worry me. I've still got another [breast] here.
"I've got not worries, no computers, no mobile phone — but I've got the Cuckoo."
Mr Kortleven said aside from dancing together, the secret to their long and happy marriage was having "tolerance of each other".
Mrs Kortleven, meanwhile, puts it down to "no nagging and know when to shut up".
"I get up at six o'clock and get my husband breakfast in bed, but later on he does all the floors and the windows so I've got the better deal, don't I?

Self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity and it's is important for maintaining balance and well-being all the time, every minute of every day. After the break, I have two things you can do to take better care of yourself.
High-Speed polarizing change is everywhere in the world today and it drains our energy and produces stress. It's high time to take care of yourself, to stop the energy drain and renew your resilience, moment by moment. Conventional Self-Care is often defined as eating healthy foods, treating yourself to something new, maybe relaxing on an extended weekend get-away. These are all good points.
Here's my first additional self-care tip: One of the most intelligent acts of Self-Care is Forgiveness. Forgive people and forgive situations. Move forward without carrying old emotional luggage. When we hold grudges and resentments, our energy is drained, our joy is clouded, and our health is compromised. Holding onto resentment is like drinking poison and expecting somebody else to die.
Here's my final Self-Care Tip: Appreciate yourself with Genuine Gratitude. Be as compassionate with yourself as you are with others. We easily comfort and encourage other people. Remember to comfort and encourage yourself; it's an act of heart intelligence which helps us re-balance our system quickly. Self-Compassion means love and care for ourselves that supports and regenerates our system. Self-compassion opens our heart to intuitive solutions for the best ways to handle life's situations. Self-compassion is one of the purest human emotions and qualities of the heart. It provides a regenerative energy that serves as a tonic for our cells and our overall operating system.

Latest Newcastle v Sunderland odds, team news, live stream schedule and match preview on the Tyne Wear derby (KO 12:45 GMT).
Resurgent Sunderland will look to continue their strong recent form when they make the short trip to St James' Park to take on their north-east rivals Newcastle.
The club are in the midst of a superb run of form that has seen them pick up 7 points from their last three games with their most win, a 1-0 success over Stoke, moving them out of the relegation zone.
NEWCASTLE v SUNDERLAND – FREE BET OFFER
Match Odds : Newcastle 19/20, draw 23/10, Sunderland 3/1

Key to their recent revival has been the form of Adam Johnson. The England winger has scored 6 goals so far in 2014 and he will hope that he can help inspire a first double over Newcastle since 1967.
Newcastle meanwhile don't have the worry of a relegation battle to contend with. The club are currently 8th in the table some five points ahead of 9th place Southampton and just 8 off a Europa league spot.
The club have endured a mixed week in the transfer market with Johan Cabaye leaving and Luuk de Jong arriving.
De Jong joins from on loan from Borussia Monchengladbach with the 23 year old Dutch forward is likely to start on the bench after failing to make a single appearance for the Bundesliga side this season.
The Magpies will be without Loic Remy through suspension after the French man failed to his red card from the Norwich match rescinded on appeal with his absence providing Alan Pardew with a minor headache as Yoan Gouffran and Papiss Cisse are struggling with minor knocks.
With Cabaye sealing a move to PSG during the week the creative burden will rest on the shoulder of Hatem ben Arfa.
The former Marseille man has made just 11 starts this season but is likely to be in from the start against Sunderland and will do so with the full backing of his manager.
"I have said to him, 'You have been waiting and you have been patient', because he has conducted himself well in and around the building and his temperament has been great," Pardew said.
"Now his time has come and, in football, you have to take the moment when it arrives.
"It's a blow to lose Cabaye, and I think we are all aware of losing that creative influence
"But we need to lean on other members of our staff if we don't get a replacement, and in particular Sammy, Marveaux, Hatem, those creative influences who have been on the sidelines."
Skipper Fabricio Coloccini is also set to miss out as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.
Sunderland meanwhile are set to hand debuts to a number of signings with Liam Bridcutt and Ignacio Scocco, signed from Brighton and Internacional respectively, set to take their places in the squad.

With all the pressure on the Federal Budget the past couple of years, it is clear to see that the way of government spending is changing. The implications of how it changes is very different from what we have seen before. Or is it? One of the clear changes is that spending is being cut. Sequestration calls for cuts if congress cannot decide what to trim from the budget. There have been several band-aids put on the FY2014 budget but the general consensus is that the budget will be trimmed significantly in coming fiscal years. This may mean creative ways to trim expenses in certain departments, like the DoD, and will result in a more competitive environment for those bidding on the remaining work.

Impacts of ending Sequestration
Posted by Mike Anderson on Fri, Nov 15, 2013 @ 03:32 PM
There are plenty of people offering suggestions about what the government's sequestration is doing to the industry of government contracting. Defense contractors are the largest segment of this population and probably the most impacted. There have been projections that the Department of Defense would have to lay off over 6,000 of it's civilian workforce in 2014 just due to sequestration cuts. It was also forecast that research and procurement could be cut by up to 16% and maintenance could be cut by as much as 12%.

Sequestration and Major Program Changes
Posted by Mike Anderson on Fri, Nov 08, 2013 @ 11:00 AM
As the Federal Budget changes and is whittled down, there will obviously be some programs that will be cut and or eliminated. It has been widely publicized that non-essential travel has been greatly reduced within the government to help reduce costs. Even the Blue Angels flight team was grounded for a period of time during 2013 (They will be back in the air for the upcoming fiscal year). I thought it might be worthwhile to look at some of the programs that we have heard of that could either be casualties or might be good candidates to survive.

A Billion Years of Starvation
The question of what caused bacteria to evolve into single-celled plants and animals—which they did more than a billion years ago—has long puzzled scientists. Now geologists from Oxford and Canberra claim to have evidence to bolster one intriguing theory: that prolonged nutrient deprivation forced simple organisms (prokaryotes) to cooperate and gradually merge as complex eukaryotic organisms.
The time between 2 billion and 1 billion years ago has been described as "the dullest period in Earth's history," with little going on geologically, climatically, or biologically. But because a lack of geologic activity meant that the oceans contained little erosion-generated phosphorus—the fundamental "biofuel" of the time—the stage was being set for the most momentous chapter in biological evolution, argue Martin Brasier of the University of Oxford and John Lindsay of the Australian Geological Survey in Canberra in the June issue of Geology.
The scientists did their study in an area of Northern Australia near the Gulf of Carpentaria where ancient oceans left a 6-kilometer-thick succession of limestone sediments. They measured carbon isotopes—which reflect total biological matter produced and buried in the oceans—at 10-meter intervals through 1.5 billion years of limestone and confirmed what others have inferred from the fossil record: a prolonged period of biological stasis. Brasier and Lindsay argue that the shortage of phosphorus, which is abundant only in younger rocks, pushed bacterial life into symbiotic associations which in turn developed into more complex cells with nuclei—the ancestors of today's plants and animals.
The idea that "long-term geological events [that kept phosphorus scarce] drove the evolution of eukaryotes" has been floating around for some time, notes geochemist Julie Bartley at the University of West Georgia, Carrollton. But, she says, "this is the first good database to support the notion of nutrient deprivation as the driving force."
Green Strategy for Water Flea?
Turning light into energy isn't a strategy used only by plants. Dozens of animals, including sea slugs and giant clams, adapt to meager environments by engulfing and modifying tiny photosynthesizing plants, such as blue-green algae. Now scientists may have identified the first arthropod player in the photosynthesis game: the water flea, a transparent crustacean called Daphnia obtusa that thrives in nutrient-starved ponds.
Gut samples from Daphnia living in shaded, temporary ponds that support little phytoplankton or oxygen have revealed what look like chloroplasts, the chlorophyll-containing parts of plant cells that convert photons to chemical energy. By comparison, Daphnia collected from a sunny, year-round farm pond have much fewer such structures, reported ecologist David Jenkins and physiologist Nada Chang of the University of Illinois, Springfield, at the June meeting of the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography/Ecological Society of America in St. Louis.
The scientists speculate that Daphnia in temporary ponds absorb—rather than digest—algal chloroplasts. Now they are trying to determine if these structures act like chloroplasts, fixing carbon to supply Daphnia with the sugar or oxygen it can't get from its environment. Says Paul Hebert, an aquatic biologist at the University of Guelph in Ontario, "Maybe these organisms are smarter than we thought."
Combating Student Torpor
Snoozing through algebra class may not be a capital crime, but it is now mobilizing action on Capitol Hill: On 24 June, Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) introduced a bill that would grant any school district in the United States $25,000 to rearrange high school schedules so kids can sleep later.
It's not just sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll that lead to teen morning drowsiness, according to scientists who appeared at a Capitol Hill press conference. There's also a bona fide biological reason: During puberty, the timing of surges of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin moves back about an hour from 9:30 to 10:30 p.m. Stanford University sleep researcher William Dement said that because most teens need up to 10 hours of sleep, early rising—many high schools now start classes shortly after 7:00 a.m.—is creating such a problem that it's "not uncommon to look at a high school classroom in the morning and see one-third of the students with their heads on their desks." Making kids go to bed earlier won't work because they won't be able to go to sleep, he said.
But districts that want to delay school face tough obstacles, such as potential disruptions in after-school sports and jobs, as well as increased costs for school buses, which, because of staggered schedules, also transport grade schoolers. Brown University sleep researcher Mary Carskadon related that "a district in Iowa debated the topic for 6 months" before finally agreeing to start the school day 5 minutes later.
Feminizing Science
The gender gap in science and engineering graduate studies continues to narrow, while total enrollments in all major fields except computer science continue a 3-year decline, according to the latest statistics from the National Science Foundation. Enrollment by white males took the biggest hit, falling by almost 7000 students, or 4.5%, between 1995 and 1996. Enrollments by non-U.S. males also went down slightly, while minority and non-U.S. women increased slightly.
Former AAAS Chief Dies
William Carey, former chief executive of AAAS, Science's publisher, died at his home in Washington, D.C., on 24 June at the age of 82. A former official of the Bureau of the Budget, Carey steered the AAAS from 1975 to 1987.

Types of rhinoplasty?
Korean best rhinoplasty can be performed to improve either aesthetic or functional aspect. Rhinoplasty for aesthetic improvement includes correction of low nose, deviated nose, dorsal hump, and bulbous nose.

WATERVILLE — Tasha York was waiting on a table at Silver Street Tavern Wednesday night when she heard someone yell for 911.
It was just before 10 p.m. New Year's Eve and the restaurant was crowded with people laughing, talking and enjoying live music, but York, a waitress, quickly made her way through the crowd to a man who had collapsed on the dance floor and appeared to be in cardiac arrest.
"It was an instinct," she said Friday. "This is what I plan to spend my life doing, and I didn't even think twice about going over to him." York, 37, of Waterville, is a nursing student who just completed her first semester of clinical work at Kennebec Valley Community College in Fairfield.
She took the man's pulse and started CPR with the help of another Silver Street employee, Mike Marshall. That's when they realized the man, Mark Boudreau, wasn't breathing.
"It seemed like he was having some sort of cardiac arrest," recalled York. "We got him to where he needed to be until emergency responders got here and could help him."
Boudreau, 61, of Waterville, was in stable condition at Maine Medical Center in Portland on Friday, according to his family, who said they credit Marshall and York with saving his life.
Boudreau is one of 11 siblings and has more than 20 nieces and nephews. He had a heart attack about 10 years ago and carries nitroglycerin tablets, which are used to treat chest pain.
"He basically died," said Jean Otis, his sister, who was with her brother that night. "He had no pulse and wasn't breathing. There was nothing showing that he had any life in him at all.
"Those two people were the key people that saved my brother's life," she said. "They came running over and performed CPR. Usually when something like that happens, the sooner you do CPR, the better the chance is that you can bring them back."
When emergency responders arrived around 10 p.m., Boudreau was starting to breathe and he was taken to Inland Hospital before being transferred to Maine Medical Center.
His family still isn't sure exactly what happened medically Wednesday night, Otis said.
Andrea Shorty, Silver Street general manager, said she wasn't surprised that Marshall, who just started working at Silver Street about a month ago and couldn't be reached for comment on Friday, and York, who has worked there since March, were so quick to respond.
"If they hadn't been working, I don't know what the outcome would have been," she said. "I couldn't have done that. I'm very grateful for those two. I can't say that enough. They're both great people in the community and we feel very lucky to have them at Silver Street."
After a brief moment of silence for Boudreau after he was taken to the hospital, the New Year's Eve celebration continued at the restaurant.
York said she finished her shift around 2 a.m. and hadn't given a second thought to what happened. But by Friday, dozens of people had made a point of thanking her, including Boudreau's family, both in person and on social media.
"I feel like I don't need to be thanked. It was just my instinct," York said. "I think there are a lot of people who have the ability to give CPR but it's scary. It's a scary situation and I think a lot of people are hesitant. I didn't think twice."

Actually, this technology is well over 20 years old. That haunting "lead" throughout 'With or Without You' is The Edge using an infinite sustain system. That was '86, '87?Joey wrote:...but will open up a world of new sounds for guitarists.
I hate knocking a great company like Moog, but that price is just astronomical. It's just not going to be in the hands of the people who could make the most of it; the poor and mentally disturbed. They'll just get a Sustainiac system and stick it in their Squier Tele.
Again, I'm sure it's top drawer quality and worthy of the Moog name - that's just an expensive guitar.

Superbowl Stadium Site Hacked
The website for Dolphin Stadium has apparently been hacked and is spreading malicious content, according to websense, and, on the front page a malicious javascript file is exploiting two vulnerabilities and is trying to install a NsPack-packed Trojan keylogger/backdoor. The two vulnerabilities are: Vulnerability in Vector Markup Language Could Allow Remote Code Execution and Vulnerability in the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) Function Could Allow Code Execution.
Websense Security Labs has discovered that the official website of Dolphin Stadium has been compromised with malicious code. The Dolphin Stadium is currently experiencing a large number of visitors, as it is the home of Sunday's Super Bowl XLI. The site is linked from numerous official Super Bowl websites and various Super Bowl-related search terms return links to the site.
A link to a malicious javascript file has been inserted into the header of the front page of the site. Visitors to the site execute the script, which attempts to exploit two vulnerabilities: MS06-014 and MS07-004. Both of these exploits attempt to download and execute a malicious file.
The file that is downloaded is a NsPack-packed Trojan keylogger/backdoor, providing the attacker with full access to the compromised computer. The filename is w1c.exe and its MD5 is ad3da9674080a9edbf9e084c10e80516 Source: Malicious Website: Super Bowl XLI / Dolphin Stadium

Falling oil prices give Congress a great opportunity to hike the gas tax, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday.
But the Democratic leader also cautioned that her party won't trade the store in return for the gas-tax increase being floated by some Republicans.
"I can't respond to their proposal because I don't know what it is," Pelosi said during a press briefing in the Capitol. "But I do think that if there's ever going to be an opportunity to raise the gas tax, the time when gas prices are so low — oil prices are so low — is the time to do it."
At 18.4 cents per gallon, the current gas tax hasn't changed since 1993, and many environmental and infrastructure advocates are urging an increase to help eliminate annual deficits plaguing the Highway Transportation Fund. That fund is filled primarily by the gas tax, but the combination of rising infrastructure costs and more fuel efficient vehicles has created a shortfall that reached $16 billion last year.
In the upper chamber, Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) are pushing legislation to increase the levy by 12 cents over the next two years. And both Sens. John Thune (R-S.D.), chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, and James Inhofe (R-Okla.), head of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said they remain open to the idea.
The government just can not stand for AMERICANS to have any extra money.
send the queer bitch back to cal.
how can we get this bitch Pelosi out of office
The current and final plan of our "Political Elites", "Never let a good thing for the people exist, Ever"! I note that even the so-called "good guys", the Republicans are all-in for raising the cost-of-living that the working folks have to bear. Incumbents are the "Real Enemies" of freedom, they play their "game" at our expense, Period!
Anything this idiot woman proposes is not good! What she proposes is a typical liberal attempt to hurt the American people!! She is a worthless waste of money for us taxpayers. I wished there was some way to get this woman out of the House of Rep. and send her home to San Fran. for good!
That is about as stupid as when she said, "you have to pass it before you can read it"…………..why would you want to raise gas taxes for?
Raising gas taxes when prices are low would be just like Gruber selling Obamacare to stupid Americans. Tax revenue should be made on more gas being bought as more people use low prices to travel more. It's not unusual for politicians to talk about raising taxes, but many politicians will be going home next election if they vote to raise any taxes.
Giving even more tax breaks and easing regulations on oil companies, banks and Wall Street firms when they're already making record profits makes just as much sense.
