Shipshape IT believes the Cloud is a tool that should be used selectively and leveraged to the degree it provides clear and demonstrable value to clients. While this may sound obvious, all too often, our competitors insist that all parties' interests are best served by Cloud Computing—that is, migrating an entire business's servers and desktops to virtual servers and managing them from a vendor's data center.
While elements of such "full-virtualization" do in-fact hold benefit for clients, we have found it often serves the service provider's interests to retain the client even more. Accordingly, we often recommend alternative approaches that achieve the similar or the same results. These contingencies do not require up-front expense or long-term contracts—all the while providing clients with greater flexibility and value. Further, Shipshape IT's approach enables options for better and more affordable Cloud migration strategies, when and if they become more appropriate.
Application-Specific Cloud Solutions enable migrating one or more applications, such as email or ecommerce, to the Cloud:
Company-Wide Cloud Solutions enable a wide range of systems and applications to benefit from the Cloud. Examples include, greater systems availability, fixed expense and better disaster recovery contingencies. While these services may include virtualizing some or all desktops and servers, the driving force behind Shipshape IT advocating any degree of Cloud migration, remains establishing a cost-benefit or other tangible value for our clients.
For example, consider a client who has ten recently deployed PCs and the remaining 20 are twenty month-old servers and desktops that are functioning properly. Due to the capital invested and the near-term supportability of the systems, Shipshape IT would generally recommend maintaining these systems in the client's offices. To ensure proper redundancy and system availability is in place, we would simply leverage our Redundant Data Backup and Mail Security and Continuity included in Comprehensive IT Support - Critical MaaS. These services would enable all information and data to be stored in our data centers and, thus, in the event of a system or data loss, leveraged and redeployed via Shipshape IT's virtual systems. In other words, this client would achieve the benefits of full virtualization without the near-term expense and other resources associated with full system-wide migration to the cloud.
Shipshape IT maintains state of the art facilities within data centers in Northern Virginia and Northeastern, Pennsylvania. Our most common client service areas include Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, and New York. In general terms, systems at each of these locations leverage highly adaptable virtualization platforms, monitoring and management applications and data replication solutions. Together, these integrated tools, systems and processes provide Shipshape IT clients with scalable disaster recovery and business continuity solutions. Systems deemed critical are regularly backed up over the Internet via Redundant Data Backup; allowing appropriate client personnel to retrieve information via Shipshape IT's portal when necessary. Further, a "user-administratable" web interface is available enabling a properly authorized client to restore data from any PC, Mac, Linux client or server, onto the same or different platform. If preferred, clients have the option of using Shipshape IT staff to replicate the entire system and deploy it as a virtual system, accessible over the web.
In summary, the flexibility to replicate and deliver data from systems in your office or our fully virtualized Cloud allows you to immediately benefit from the safety and redundancy of our Cloud offering—regardless whether and to what degree you migrate individual systems. Accordingly, you can still leverage capital investments in PCs and servers and complete any term commitments for product leases or hosting and management agreements. Then, as hardware becomes obsolete, leases expire or other vendors disappoint, a compelling argument to migrate to the Shipshape IT Cloud may emerge.

Teaching the Art of Conversation During a Divisive Election Year
It's often tough for teachers to figure out how to talk about political issues or current events in class. During a divisive election year, it's even more difficult.
The news site AllSides.com and the nonprofit Living Room Conversations recently released a set of lessons aimed at helping teachers navigate those conversations as part of a program called AllSides for Schools. It's called "Elections and Relationships," and the goal is to teach young people in grades 8-12 how to examine controversial topics from all sides and discuss them civilly, even when they disagree.
The heads of the organizations that created "Elections and Relationships" point out that their partnership models the kind of discourse they'd like to see in classrooms. John Gable, the founder of AllSides.com, and Joan Blades, Living Room Conversations' founder, have different political views—Blades identifies as a progressive, while Gable is more conservative.
But both were focused on what they saw as a significant problem in society: The lack of conversation and understanding among people with different points of view.
"What we learned is that you need both," Gable said. "If you don't hear the other point of view, you can't really go anywhere. And if you don't understand the other person as a human being, you won't listen to them and respect them."
Gable said teachers began using AllSides.com to identify bias in news coverage before the company began developing a specific program for schools.
AllSides.com's focus is on presenting unbiased information and illuminating bias in media. Living Room Conversations focuses on building relationships as a foundation for productive debate.
The program starts with a lesson called "Relationships Matter," focused on respecting others even when you disagree. Students ask each other questions about their backgrounds and share experiences about being in contentious conversations. It also includes a series of lessons about specific topics like trade and economic inequality, which are paired with materials from the Christian Science Monitor and links to articles that present issues from different points of view.
As the school year gets into swing and the November elections draw near, many organizations have developed programs to help teachers teach about the election: C-SPAN, iCivics, and the Southern Poverty Law Center's Teaching Tolerance program are among the offerings. (This Education Week story includes more on teaching about the 2016 election.) Still, a survey from Teaching Tolerance earlier this year found that some 40 percent of teachers were reluctant to teach about the election.

John Wayne Gacy is one of the most recognized names in the world of horrific crimes. He was a prolific, homosexual serial rapist and cold blooded killer. He was convicted of the rape, torturer and murders of 33 young men and boys between 1971 and 1978. (Rumor has it that there were probably a lot more !)
Creepy Fact Number 1 –
John never graduated high school. (That's not the creepy part) Instead he dropped out in his senior year and left his native Illinois for Vegas. There he found employment at a mortuary, as an attendant. Here's the creepy part – It was here, in Vegas, where he discovered and, more than likely, actually allowed himself for the first time, to explore his sexual fascination with two things. One was the fact that when he saw the body of a young man laying dead in a casket, he was aroused. And secondly – the really fucked up part – was that the 'dead' part was what was turning him on. He crawled into the casket with the corpse and laid down against the dead body and caressed and fondled and cuddled with it. Now that's the creepy part! But this wouldn't be the last time John would lay and cuddle with dead boys. It would just be the first and would become a reoccurring trait that he would adopt over the years of murder that were, as yet, still out in front of him. He would, in the years to come, often keep the corpses of his victims as close as he could until decomposition would demand disposal. Even then he didn't move the bodies far. Just into the crawl space under his house! YUCK! That's pretty creepy too!

The Midwest might be called the nation's breadbasket, but here in Minnesota we often have unique challenges when it comes to getting going with our gardens in the spring. Why should such a fertile area have so many garden problems? One reason is we deal with a wide variety of weather conditions. In six months the temps can be as much as 120 degrees difference! And we also deal with wildly-fluctuating moisture levels – droughts and floods can occur within a very short time span. Add to that the fact that many garden pests love to call Minnesota home during the growing season, and you can have a real challenge on your hands.
But don't despair – there is hope for a successful spring garden, even in Minnesota. Armed with the right information such as recommended boosts for the soil (we're sadly deficient in rich topsoil due to an explosion in building development), hardiness zones, and bugs, you too can have garden plots bursting with colorful flowers and delicious vegetables. E How Home has Spring Planting Guidelines for the Midwest which should help.
The best garden design is one that takes into account the variety of factors – soil conditions and climate, drainage and sunlight, as well as other elements such as the architectural style of the home and the lifestyle of the owner. Architectural Landscape Design specializes in bringing all these factors together to produce beautiful Minnesota landscapes.

Brett Ratner stood on the stage and ran down the list of things he was called in the fall of 2011. "Homophobe. Bigot. Gay-basher. Ignorant frat boy. Fat, Jewish pig," the Rush Hour director rattled off. "I was called all of these names when I foolishly used a gay slur in a misguided attempt to be funny during an interview. Do I believe what I was called to be true? Aside from the Jewish and fat part? No, absolutely not. But I learned a valuable lesson: A word can matter, whether it's said with malice or a joke." STORY: 'Smash,' 'Amazing Race' Win GLAAD Awards Ratner was on the stage at the GLAAD awards in Manhattan a year and a half after he used the word "fag" in a question-and-answer-session for his film, Tower Heist. Outrage quickly built, and he resigned from producing the 2012 Oscars soon after. Ever since, he has worked to rehab his image, including making several PSAs for GLAAD. He was given the Ally Award on Saturday night and told the audience he had learned a valuable lesson. "Being insulted for using the word cannot compare to the experience of any young gay man or woman who has been the target of offensive slurs or derogatory comments," Ratner said in his brief speech. Prior to the ceremony, GLAAD president Herndon Graddick, who later joined Ratner onstage, praised the director for the work he has done. "He's gone further than anyone I've ever seen at showing how he really feels about the LGBT community," Graddick told The Hollywood Reporter. "He was really committed to make a difference, not just with us but with GLSEN; he held a fundraiser at his home to elect the first lesbian mayor of New York [Christine Quinn]. I believe he was never a homophobe, and I value all of his contributions and consider him a friend." FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Jordan Zakarin firstname.lastname@example.com @thr

" It was better before ! The vegetables had more taste. We often think so, convinced by our memories or by an inclination to magnify the past. But looking closer, was the food once so much better?
Take what nature gives us …
… yes, but without domestication , no food. The wild ancestors of our carrots, lettuce, radishes, eggplants and other melons, are not at all to our taste, or not edible!
Hervé Michel, breeder of lettuce at Vilmorin, explains: "We would not consume Lactuca Serriola, considered as the ancestor of the current lettuce. It is inedible, its leaves are very hard, hairy, thorny and too bitter. "
We would not eat wild eggplant either: no bigger than a ping-pong ball (with a diameter less than 3 cm), round, green, it contains mostly seeds, little flesh, and it is bitter .
Wild melons have spherical fruits 1 cm in diameter, with little flesh, translucent white, and many seeds inside. Their flesh is often bitter (presence of cucurbitacin).
Without human intervention, no food
All vegetables come from natural mutations that have appeared in wild forms, for example broccoli, cauliflower and romanesco cabbage are spontaneous mutations of wild cabbage. For his livelihood man has used variations among plants, over the centuries and in all regions of the world. Domesticated plants do not survive without the care of the farmers and the man would not survive without them. Delivered on their own, they return to a wild state that can not be exploited for our food.
From the continuous modeling of plants by man is born the extraordinary diversity of cultivated species and the wealth of current stalls, whose supply has exploded for 20 or 30 years.
Bitterness goes away, diversity explodes
A bitterness, unpleasant to our present taste, was present in many vegetables in the past. Few of us today would consume the endives of the 1960s, whose breeders were able to mitigate very strongly the bitterness. That of lettuce has long since disappeared, but breeders still work this aspect of chicory, escarole and curly.
"The improvement of plants for the taste is a complex task that requires a huge effort because it is not easy to measure: very many biochemical compounds are at stake," explains Michel Hervé. Blind tastings, such as tomatoes or potatoes are also used.
Tomato: zoom on the taste tests …
Tony Bonin, marketing manager at Clause Home Garden, says, "There are some very good varieties of beans, old and new. But old varieties of green beans had to be harvested at a juvenile stage, otherwise their pods were filled with threads. The selection first made it possible to produce straight pods, with small grains, and which remain soft longer on the plant, avoiding having to pick them every two or three days. In the 70s and 80s, the new varieties without strings and without parchment, making the pod less hard, have considerably improved the pleasure of eating green beans!
The sugar level is one of the criteria used in the selection of tomato, pepper and of course melon. The latter has undergone a remarkable qualitative evolution in the last 30 years: we were never sure to find a good melon in the 80s-90s. "There was a turning point in the 2000s," explains Ganaëlle Bernard, melon selector at Sakata Vegetables. "We went from smooth varieties to" written "types, with these small cross-linked bark meshes, which allow for better resistance to shocks during handling. Today, melons have stable sugar levels in the post-harvest time, as their flesh does not become virescent or watery. These qualities are homogeneous from one fruit to another, the bark does not yellow too quickly to ripen, which lengthens the shelf life. "The taste is changing: young people prefer a firm, sweet, not too aromatic or musky flesh."
Primordial for our health, the health aspect
In all species , genetic resistance to disease is sought. It is an essential selection criterion for the environment, the health of consumers and beneficial for producers because it contributes to the reduction of phytosanitary products. Thus, "80% of our lettuce selection work focuses on genetic resistance to diseases and viruses . For 20 or 30 years we have progressed enormously in this area, and thanks to the intrinsic resistances of the varieties we eat salads much less treated than in the 80s "testifies Hervé Michel.

Hey, want to help us crowdsource the Venture Cafe vibe??? We have two ways that is super fun and super easy.
- Add music to the Spotify playlist. We let music play during the session and it's there to cover any awkward silence. Let's make music together.
- Bring an item to add to our shelving behind the bar. Do you have a retro computer monitor you no longer want? Maybe some beakers or other science glass. What about an abacus? A 3D-printed creation? Help us put bits-o-innovation on display in the space.
This week at The Venture Café (4240 Duncan Ave, Ste 200, St. Louis, MO 63110) you will engage both sides of your brain. When we talk about innovation, we focus on improving the human condition and driving people to begin conversations with the following five words: In what ways can we…
If you want to put that to the test, then come to The Venture Café this Thursday between 3:00PM and 8:00PM for a great collection of people and topics that will fuel serendipitous collisions. On the docket this week, we'll explore:
- In what ways can we…learn from others in a similar position? The iSelect Fund is spotlighting a startup so others can learn from travels on a familiar road. They'll be in the James Crutchfield Room from 3:30 to 4:00.
- In what ways can we…visually communicate an idea using a whiteboard and a few markers? Don't worry, you don't need to be an artist. In fact, it is probably better if you are not. The team from Kendeo will work their magic in the Havana Room from 4:00 to 5:00.
- In what ways can we…figure out what part of a business is DIY (do-it-yourself) and where you might need to bring in extra brains? Guess what, we'll use a whiteboard to answer this question. RSVP to secure your spot in the Havana Room from 5:30 to 6:30 and learn from the brilliant brains from AEGIS.
- In what ways can we…whittle down a brilliant idea to the point that it fits inside a very specific container? A haiku-shaped container. Aimee Muirnin Dunne is doing two quick sessions for non-poets in the James Crutchfield Room from 5:30 to 6:00 and 6:30 to 7:00.
- In what ways can we…get more women involved in coding? Nothing more to add. This is a question that really needs to be answered! Coder_Girl will be in the house for an info blitz in the Big George Brown Room between 6:00 and 6:30.
- In what ways can we…encourage people to explore the light bulb moments that seem to take place every day? They don't need to start a full-fledged business, but exploring is important. BALSA Foundation will staff an Info Table where you can learn about the Entrepreneur's Roadmap.
- In what ways can we…increase the level of innovation in education? The EdSurge Summit is taking place in STL this weekend and we thinks that's awesome. Stop by the Info Table to learn about the summit and ways to get involved.
Each week we curate meaningful content for the innovation community. It's not simply about startups as much as it is about the right people in the right place having the right conversation that lead to an amazing new reality. Join us this Thursday between 3:00PM and 8:00PM to be part of the excitement.

Before we continue, let's get a couple of things straight: this is the DROID Turbo (model number XT1250), a souped-up version of the Moto X 2014 that's exclusive to Verizon in the United States. It's ostensibly a sequel to the DROID Maxx from 2013, and like almost all Verizon-branded devices, it has a locked bootloader. No custom ROMs for the poor DROID Turbo. And this is the Moto Maxx (model number XT1225), the exact same phone released without the Verizon branding or a locked bootloader, and currently sold only in Latin America. Bummer.
Now for the fun part. This is the CyanogenMod download page for the "quark," the codename that the developers have given to the Moto Maxx. Owners who unlock their bootloader via Motorola's online tool, then flash a custom recovery, can try out CyanogenMod's flavor of Android Lollipop right now (albeit with a few bugs, since it's a nightly). Of course, it's not as if they have to wait that much longer - Motorola's soak tests for the official OTA update began about six weeks ago, so it should be coming out soon.
The nightly build for the Moto Maxx will not work for Verizon's DROID Turbo. Neither will the official Lollipop builds, whenever they become available. DROID Turbo owners will have to wait for the 5.1 update (which might be a while) or hope that someone cracks the bootloader, as has happened for the last three generations of DROID phones. But with only a single model in the line and the Verizon-compatible Nexus 6 available to ROM enthusiasts, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Enough moping about Verizon exclusives. If you're lucky enough to live in Latin America and own a Moto Maxx (or you've snagged one from an importer), give CM12 a try - you might miss Motorola's voice actions and gestures, but you might appreciate CyanogenMod's customizations even more. Grab a Gapps package and flash it too if you want access to the Play Store and Google services, and a recovery backup wouldn't hurt.

During Hillary's infamous "alt-right" speech in Reno, Nevada, she not only tied Donald Trump to bigoted racists, but also to shock jock Alex Jones – a Texas-based radio host famous for questioning the government's official story of 9/11.
He's also famous for this heated exchange with Piers Morgan on gun control:
Here's what Hillary said in her speech:
His latest paranoid fever dream is about my health. All I can say is, Donald, dream on.
This is what happens when you treat the National Enquirer like Gospel.
It's what happens when you listen to the radio host Alex Jones, who claims that 9/11 and the Oklahoma City bombings were inside jobs. He said the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre were child actors and no one was actually killed there.
Trump didn't challenge those lies. He went on Jones' show and said: "Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down."
This is how Jones responded:
What they've done is create a strawman — a fake Alex Jones — and they're putting words in his mouth.
They can't find anywhere where I have said that I know that the kids killed at Sandy Hook are actors. I've hosted debates between people who say the story is true 100% and those that say the whole thing is a fabrication.
I've been criticized by leading conspiracy theorists out there claiming the whole thing was fake because I don't buy into that, but I do believe PR campaigns jumped on top of it, and did put out disinformation and spin some things…
So I'm there showing where they are taking a crisis and making it worse to go after our Second Amendment rights, and they turn that into I'm saying no kids died there?
You are a damn liar Hillary Clinton…
I just want Hillary Clinton to know this. I care about my country, I care about every person on this planet… regardless of what their supposed race is, and I know Donald Trump does as well.
Do you to say that I have a black heart –when you are a known war criminal and warmonger who backed Sunni/al-Qaeda operatives all over the world– is the height of hypocrisy.

Historically, the purpose of the Food Guide was to help the average Canadian understand how to meet their basic nutritional needs to prevent diseases caused by nutrient deficiencies (not to achieve optimal health). To this end, numerous organizations have been consulted to create the Food Guide, including scientists, medical doctors, social welfare representatives, farming representatives, politicians, etc. In other words, until now, there has been very little input from nutritional experts.
The BIG Problems with Canada's Past Food Guides:
Creating guidelines to educate Canadians on how to meet their basic needs, especially in the context of war or tough economic times, was an honourable goal for our government to strive for. However, after WWII, Health Canada began publishing Food Guides that claimed to be a "model for a healthy and balanced diet based on the latest science," which, in my opinion, has been a fraudulent claim.
In fact, there are very few nutritional experts in the world that have supported Health Canada's Food Guides. Over the years, it appeared as though Health Canada had been making biased dietary recommendations, such as encouraging significant intakes of dairy products, grains, meats, and processed foods. This bias may have been done intentionally to increase consumer demand for the nation's large dairy and farming industries (which have traditionally played a vital role in our economy). This point is reinforced by the fact that these unusual diet recommendations were not often found in the Food Guides of other developed countries, where those industries play a minimal role in their economy.
Unfortunately, the Food Guide naturally became the basis for (1) the health curriculum in publicly funded schools and in Universities that educate Medical Doctors and Dieticians, (2) diet and meal plans made for publicly funded institutions (i.e., public school cafeterias, hospitals, long term care facilities, etc.), and (3) for ridiculous marketing claims that label foods such as dairy, refined grains, and some processed foods as "healthy" and "essential" for a "balanced" diet.
As a result of the past editions of the Food Guide, thousands of Canadians with chronic health conditions, and/or struggling to lose weight, have suffered immeasurably. Even Medical doctors and Dieticians have pushed sick patients to follow the Food Guide's very bad advice, which nutritional experts have always known to be contributing factors to disease and weight gain.
Health Canada appears to have, for the first time, worked closely with nutritional experts to design a Food Guide that will help Educate Canadians on a health promoting diet, rather than a diet designed to meet basic needs! The New Food Guide has made a complete U-Turn and Health Canada has reversed many of the bad recommendations they used to make in past Food Guides! Here are some of the highlights:
The Good:
It appears as though Health Canada felt enormous pressure to finally publish an honest food guide to regain their credibility as more and more Canadians have been questioning their integrity. Many developed countries around the world updated their Food Guides long ago to reflect the views of nutritional experts. However, it took our government nearly 80 years to make these positive changes. Nonetheless, this major overhaul finally acknowledges all of the important work that nutritionists do and their contributions to healthcare.
The new Food Guide will also encourage Medical Doctors, Dieticians, and policy makers to make more competent recommendations, which I expect will improve the quality of patient care as well as meal plans, and cafeteria menus in public institutions (i.e., hospitals, long term care facilities, and public schools) where nutritional experts aren't always available.
As a side note, I expect the dairy and farming industries, who have worked relentlessly to lobby Health Canada over the years, protest the New Food guide as it will negatively impact their businesses. Be aware of their agenda to boost their profits at the expense of your well-being and steer clear from the misinformation that they are bound to spread.
As a scientist who is heavily engaged in cutting edge research with numerous distinguished medical institutions, I can confidently tell you that Canada's medical system is often up to 20 years behind the latest science in healthcare.
In this case, it took Health Canada nearly 80 years to publish a Food Guide that's starting to make sense and it will take even longer for conventional doctors, dieticians, hospitals, and public institutions to follow-suit with the changes. For this reason, I want to stress how important it is for you to do your own research and to advocate for yourself when it comes to making decisions over your health, because even healthcare professionals can be wrong.
When it comes to your health and well-being, you simply can't afford to wait for years before conventional medicine finally puts politics aside and reveals the truth. I always advise that you consult with a competent nutritionist to receive nutritional advice, rather than rely on government agencies or conventional doctors that have little to no training in nutrition.
I know all too well the magnitude of pain and suffering that many people live through, and I am well aware of how hard it is to find a trusted source of information.
It is my hope that I can be that trusted source of information for you and that through my articles, you may find the information you need to come one step closer to realizing your highest potential.

Euro Leagues: Weekend Preview
With all of Europe's top leagues back in full swing after the winter break "Stoppage Time" previews this weekend's top matches:
ENGLAND (Chelsea 22 games/51 points; Man. United 23/50; Arsenal FC 23/49)
For the first time in many years it looks as though more than two teams can challenge for the English Premier League title. However two of the contenders are to meet on Sunday as second place Manchester United, fresh from their League Cup semi-final win over local rivals Manchester City, travel to the Emirates Stadium with hopes of doing the 'double' over Arsenal FC after their 2-1 win at Old Trafford earlier this season. Chelsea will hope to put some more distance between themselves and their rivals in the Saturday evening fixture where they meet struggling Burnley FC. In other games in-form Birmingham City meet Champions League contenders Tottenham Hotspur whilst Liverpool FC, not for the first time in this tough season, hope to get back to winning ways at home to Bolton Wanderers.
SCOTLAND (Glasgow Rangers 22 games/51 points; Glasgow Celtic 21/41; Hibernian FC 21/39)
Sadly it seems that the much anticipated four-way challenge for the SPL has now hit the rocks after Rangers' good form has coincided with all of their potentials rivals dropping points. While the league leaders and current champions Rangers were strolling to a 2-0 win at St.Mirren on Wednesday Old Firm rivals Celtic lost 2-1 at home to Hibernian FC, who now have ambitions of claiming the second Champions League spot for next season. This weekend sees Rangers at home to bottom side Falkirk FC, Celtic play away at Hamilton Academicals and Hibernian face-off against mid-table St.Mirren.
GERMANY (Bayer 04 Leverkusen 19 games/41 points; FC Bayern München 19/39; FC Schalke 19/38)
In recent years the Bundesliga, arguably more than any top European league, has concluded with final-day drama and tension and this season has the potential to emulate some of the drama from the past. The top five teams in the league are separated by only seven points and with none of them playing against each other on Matchday 20 then this weekend may tell us more about each team's title hopes. Leaders Leverkusen, still unbeaten after 19 games, play against SC Freiburg on Sunday evening knowing if they need to win to reclaim top spot. In the meantime either FC Bayern (at home to 1. FSV Mainz) or Schalke 04 (at home to Hoffenheim) can take over the leadership of the league, if only for a matter of hours. Other top games include Hamburger SV against champions-in-crisis VfL Wolfsburg, Borussia Dortmund's trip to VfB Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt host 1.FC Köln.
FRANCE (Girondins de Bordeaux 21 games/47 points; Montpellier 21/39; Lille OSC 21/37)
Laurent Blanc's Bordeaux have ambitions to usurp Olympique Lyonnais as the top team in France and have a handy eight point lead over nearest challengers Montpellier. Many expect them to stroll to another three points in their latest match at home to second bottom team Boulogne. After reaching the Coupe de la Ligue semi-finals this week, Olympique Marseille will play against surprise title contenders Montpellier in a southern derby. A win for l'OM will allow them to overtake Montpellier in the table. Lille OSC, who were knocked out of the Coupe de la Ligue on Wednesday, will hope to put cup disappointment behind them with a win against Racing Lens. In the Côte d'Azur derby AS Monaco play against OGC Nice, a win for the former will improve their European credentials whilst for the latter will help les Niçoise pull further away from the relegation zone.
SPAIN (FC Barcelona 19 games/49 points; Real Madrid CF 19/44; Valencia CF 19/39)
La Liga has looked like a potential two-horse race ever since Matchday 1 and not much has changed now that we have reached the halfway stage of the campaign. FC Barcelona became only the seventh team to end the first half of the league season unbeaten and will hope to consolidate their position with a win away at Sporting, which is traditionally a tough place for any side to go due to the hostile reception their fans provide their opponents. Cristiano Ronaldo endured mixed emotions in his last outing for Real Madrid, his two goals in a 2-0 win over Malaga were overshadowed by his red card in the second half. El Real must play without their record signing this Saturday away at Deportivo de La Coruña where, surprisingly, Madrid haven't won since 1992. Third-place Valencia play against the team who occupied that position for most of the season Sevilla, who recently embarked on a torrid spell of one win in the last five games.
ITALY (Internazionale 21 games/49 points; AC Milan 20/40; AS Roma 21/38)
After last weekend's Milan derby many people have already suggested that the Nerazzurri should be given their fifth consecutive lo Scudetto already having built up a nine-point lead over their eternal and nearest rivals. However Inter coach Jose Mourinho would not want to take their next opponents Parma lightly as they are a team capable of beating anybody on their day. In other games AC Milan are at home to Livorno, who are struggling against relegation lying fifth from bottom, AS Roma hope that they can continue their recent good form at home to bottom side Siena whilst Juventus, with talk of crisis in the air, will have their work cut out at home to SS Lazio.
NETHERLANDS (PSV Eindhoven 19 games/51 points; FC Twente 19/49; Ajax Amsterdam 19/42)
The Netherlands is expecting the mother of all battles on Sunday afternoon as De Klassieker between Feyenoord Rotterdam and Ajax Amsterdam resumes again. Feyenoord are at home this weekend and will hope to avenge the 5-1 mauling they suffered at the home of their bitter rivals earlier in the season. Ajax will hope that a win for themselves can bring them closer to the main title challengers above them. FC Twente, who had led the table for most of the season, have been overtaken by PSV since the resumption of the Eredivisie after the winter break but Steve McClaren's men will be hoping to get back to winning ways at home to Roda JC Kerkrade whilst PSV are away at mid-table Vitesse Arnhem.
PORTUGAL (Sporting Braga 16 games/39 points; SL Benfica 16/39; FC Porto 16/33)
Little Sporting Braga have captured many people's hearts in Portugal as their title challenge continues. They lead the table despite having a much inferior goal difference to Benfica due to their head-to-head record (Braga won the first meeting 2-0 in October) but the 'Eagles' of Lisbon have been stronger since that game winning five and drawing two of their last seven games. Braga play against Benfica's local rivals Sporting Lisbon on Friday whilst Benfica plays at home to Vitoria Guimarães. Only six points behind both teams are FC Porto who have a tough away tie against Nacional Madeira on Saturday.

TFD organized and sponsored a meeting for the 6 CEO's from the leading forest certification systems (ATFS, CSA, FSC, MTCC, PEFC, SFI). The meeting occurred at the London office of IIED.
The last few years have seen the proliferation of forest product certification on international and national scales. Until recently, the systems for certifying these products stood fully apart from one another, with little communication about lessons learned or assessment of strategies. Seeking to facilitate the sharing of this information, TFD convened a series of dialogues from 2002 to 2004.

The weather was beautiful this weekend; a great time for the inaugural cook on my new Mak 2 Star General smoker. I set up 3 racks of St. Louis cut ribs which I bought at Cash and Carry; I also did 8 brats from New Seasons of various styles. I normally do baby back ribs but thought I'd try the meatier St. Louis cut this time.
Saturday afternoon
The cooker needed to be "seasoned" which I think really means burning off all the machine oil from manufacturing. So, I loaded in some pellets; turned it to high and let er' rip about 45 minutes.
The rub is Meathead's Magic dust, the recipe for which can be found at here at amazingribs.com. If you are interested in barbecue this is an excellent place to start.
Dinner is served.
They were easy to make, but they weren't my best ribs ever. They had a nice mild smoke flavor, but were a little tough and didn't have a rich meaty pork flavor. The smallest rack was the best leading me to think that they should have cooked longer. But that's part of the fun; figuring out what works and what needs work.

Recently I have been scouring the net trying to find robust, well-designed, large-population studies examining whether the health of vaccinated children is overall better or worse than their unvaccinated peers. Guess what. There isn't a single one in existence.
If I was a Government, crippled by ongoing costs of a growing population of patients with expensive chronic health conditions, I might be putting my hand in pocket and funding a massive and relatively cheap study of very simple design:
Question: Are vaccinated children healthier or unhealthier in long-term health measures?
It would be so easily done. 2 groups, one vaccinated, one unvaccinated, huge numbers in each group (10,000 or more), and record incidence of all common chronic health disorders by say, the age of 10. Measure everything – amount of other medication, health of mother, other toxic exposures, and DO THE STATS. It really wouldn't be hard.
The argument that doing studies with unvaccinated groups is 'unethical' has gone on for far too long. It is the most hilariously unscientific argument I can imagine. Apparently, the rest of the time, science must stand up to 'rigourous' testing, RCTs, prospective studies, informed consent…. but in the case of mass vaccination, for some reason, the powers that be are allowed to throw all of that out of the window and just crack on.
Recently Martin Blaser has published preliminary findings that antibiotics might not be the magic pills we once thought they were. Bizarrely, he seems to want to isolate antibiotics as the only possible causal variable in problems like obesity, childhood diabetes, asthma and autism. Surely it wouldn't take an enormous leap of imagination to question whether dozens of shots of aluminium, formaldehyde, animal DNA, viruses might have some negative repercussions on long-term health measures. Surely it's worth investigating… if only to satisfy my idle curiosity!
I feel sure there are plenty of parents of unvaccinated children that would be more than happy to take part in a comparative questionnaire-based study. If it were my study, the vaccinated group would only comprise children who had had the entire schedule of vaccines, and the unvaccinated group would only contain children who had had none, with exclusion of children with pre-existing health conditions. No. of rounds of antibiotics I think will also be one of the most important variables, and should be separately analysed.
When I started to properly read the much-sited German Study I had to do a double take, to see if I'd misread… in their sample of 13453 subjects, only 0.7% of the participants were unvaccinated. 0.7%! This is the moment when any self-respecting 'scientist' should crumple up the study and throw it in the bin. To put it in real terms, this means they have compared a sample of 13359 vaccinated children, with 94 unvaccinated children, and then started to draw conclusions. The weakness of this in terms of methodology is so blatant as to not even be worth pointing out. They then go on to make all sorts of claims about the rate of things like whooping cough being much higher in the unvaccinated group. I am slightly baffled as to how this was ever published. Even if whooping cough incidence is greater in the unvaccinated group, what I'm more interested in is the other health complaints that have replaced a mild case of whooping cough…. I think I'd take my chances with a cough rather than a life-long chronic health condition. So far, any studies that have been attempted are methodologically poor, and are, in my view, measuring all the wrong markers.
During my search for good studies, I came across Dr Suzanne Humphries, who is in the process of doing a study that may ignite the debate in a helpful way. I await the results with interest! I listened to her radio interview and was so encouraged to think that someone is indeed producing a piece of respected research looking at this point. She will use large numbers, look at all kinds of other variables, and will hopefully start to answer some of the long-awaited questions:
1. What is the incidence of autism, asthma, epilepsy, diabetes, ADHD, childhood depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, eating disorders, PANDAS, colitis, other health issues in the 2 groups? Is there a significant difference?
2. What further impact do antibiotics, steroids and other medications have? Is there a difference in health between those children who haven't been exposed to such drugs, and those who have?
3. Are toxic exposures pre-birth recorded and accounted for (e.g IVF hormones, anti-sickness, other medications taken by the mother during pregnancy/breastfeeding)
4. Why is autism more prevalent in the US than, for example the UK? Could it be linked to a more aggressive vaccination schedule? Is it worth doing a cross-cultural look at incidence, and number of vaccine shots before a certain age?
It breaks my heart when I see the amount of money put aside for 'genetic research' into autism. Last time I checked, genes don't alter in the course of 100 years. If even a fraction of that was used to fund research examining the obvious first-step questions listed above, we might find the need for genetic research melts away altogether. Surely that should have the Chancellor of the Exchequer rubbing his hands with glee. Especially if he starts adding in the budget required to care for the millions of chronically ill. The BBC reported on Monday that the cost of autism in the UK is £32 Billion a year. Question is – is this off-set by profits made from drug companies? According to the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI), the UK came 9th in a list of the top global pharmaceutical markets, being worth $21,635 million in 2012. So, the answer is, in short, no, it doesn't even come close to compensating the cost of autism alone. And this is only one diagnosis that may well be linked to vaccination damage. Think of the mind-boggling figures when you start to add in all the others… epilepsy, diabetes, asthma, food allergies, ADHD, colitis…. if there was a chance of reducing incidence of all of these we could probably reduce the deficit by a considerable amount within 10 years!
Okay, I know I've been a little ranty today, but once I started to examine the paltry evidence on offer, I became incensed. Maybe I might start my own study here in the UK…with the power of the world wide web, the sky's the limit!

Lovely Ladies & Gents
This summer I had two broody hens hatch out 15 chicks. They're all grown up now, one of the new roosters replaces our Mr Rooster who died suddenly. We were sad to see him go as he was a really great rooster. Luckily he passed on his Silver Laced Wyandotte genes to some of his offspring. They are quite lovely ladies to be sure.
I love these black and white ladies with vibrant red combs, they're quite lovely indeed. Hopefully they have the same temperament as Mr Rooster who was a laid back bird.
It was certainly a great experience watching broody hens hatch eggs and raise them with the rests of the flock. There are five roosters that will end up the freezer and the pullets will remain as our egg layers. They will replace any older birds that die or any that are lost to predation. I'm not sure if I have a favorite color/breed of chicken, though the black and white ones are really pretty. I keep thinking I'll narrow down my flock to only Silver Laced Wyandottes so I can sell chicks, but that's not going to happen any time soon.
Do you have a favorite color/breed of chicken?Filed under Uncategorized | Comments (7)

Our best chickens were mutts, bred by some lady who was trying to create her own breed. We started with six and ended up with two hens and a rooster. Never had any trouble with them, even the rooster, and the hens were good layers.
Then we got Rhode Island Red hens. Total pain, kind of feral, could escape any enclosure, laid all over the place, and ended up pilfering in my garden.
When our beloved rooster disappeared, we got a Welsummer rooster from someone else. Nightmare. Super aggressive. After he tried to spur every adult in the house and successfully spurred my toddler, he ended up as dinner.
We are currently chicken-less, which is actually kind of nice. The eggs from the Mennonite farm up the road aren't QUITE as good as our own, but good enough.
to kristin @ going country's comment
Over the years, we've had white leghorns, Rhode Island reds, comets, but by far, my favorite were the fluffy buff Orpingtons. Good layers, gorgeous ladies rummaging around in the yard. They interacted with us and followed us around in the yard like puppies. We don't have any right now until we build a new coop, but we're thinking about the wyandots or barred rocks for next time. Kristin is right, there's no eggs like your own!
to Myra S.'s comment
Susy, as you know chickens are just not my thing but I can remember the soothing sounds of contented hens scratching around in the barnyard. Even after all these city years without chickens, I can still remember the calming effect those sounds had on me even as a child. Almost makes me want to get some. …. Nah, just a fleeting thought. :-)
Have great chicken raising day.
to Nebraska Dave's comment
I like the continuity that your chickens creates, they are part of the support community.
to Charlie@Seattle Trekker's comment
I've had Gold-lace Wyndottes, and they were very tame and lovely to have as a domesticated chicken. I was surprised by the roosters too – all of them got on with each other and didn't harrass the ladies like others I've had at a young age.
They weren't as good layers as my New Hampshires, but still a lovely bird for temperament.
If I had to pick a favourite breed, out of the Pekins, Bantam Orpingtons, Araucana, Barnevelder, Gold-lace Wyndotes, Australorps, Isa Brown and New Hampshires I've owned, it wold have to be the latter. They were the best performer for food to egg convertersion, temperament and were extremely hardy.
Of course, it all depends on your breeding stock. If the breeder didn't select the same traits in their breeding stock, then it may be a different experience for someone else. If I had to pick a favourite bantam breed though, it would be the Orpingtons. Excellent temperament (especially roosters) good feed convertion, and laid a good sized egg for a bantam, which I was pleasantly surprised by.
to Chris's comment
beautiful ladies….enjoying the space and privacy
to bangchik and kakdah's comment
Lovely hens you have there. Keep in mind that the light colored birds are more susceptible to predation from hawks as they stand out more in the landscape. Then again, when the trees are leafless in your neck of the woods, you are probably likely to have the white stuff on the ground, so it might camouflage them more. For us in MA, we stick with the darker colored birds (barred rocks, golden-laced wyandottes, australorps, welsummers, easter eggers, and one remaining buff orpington).

The AirWatch Console is able to integrate with Content Delivery Network (CDN) servers to assist with the downloading of large files, in particular when deploying internal apps. Normally, when an internal app is deployed to a device, the device downloads the app directly from the AirWatch environment's database or from a configured file server. However, in large environments, especially during large deployments of internal apps, this can lead to bandwidth issues and significant performance degradation.
By integrating an AirWatch environment with a CDN server, available bandwidth is greatly expanded and the risk of performance degradation due to file downloads is minimal. The process flow is as follows:
- An AirWatch environment enables the use of a CDN at an environment-wide level.
- Whenever a device requests to download an internal app from AirWatch, the request is redirected to the CDN server.
- If this is the very first time this app has been downloaded, the CDN will stream the download request from the AirWatch database/file server, while caching the file locally for subsequent downloads.
- All subsequent downloads are performed from the CDN server, requiring minimum bandwidth from the AirWatch server.
CDN integration can additionally be used for apps deployed through the Windows Business Store Portal (BSP). With this system, customers can purchase apps from the Microsoft app store and then distribute them to devices through AirWatch in the same manner that internal apps are distributed. This process allows for CDN to be leveraged when deploying public apps to Windows devices.
Network requirements for SaaS environments
The Cloud Operations team is able to enable CDN for SaaS environments when necessary using an AirWatch-owned CDN account. If CDN is enabled for a SaaS environment, then devices must be able to connect to the CDN servers to download internal applications through AirWatch. Due to the distributed nature of the CDN architecture, companies must not block outbound traffic from enrolled devices in order for these downloads to complete successfully. If the AirWatch system is unable to connect to the Akamai CDN server, devices will be directed to download the app directly from AirWatch as it has done in previous versions.
Is the Content Delivery Network (CDN) feature supported everywhere?
The CDN offering is supported in all continents and countries except for The People's Republic of China.
Is the CDN useful for all deployments?
A CDN is useful for environments that deploy large applications. However, the current architecture of CDN integration does not support deployments that whitelist AirWatch servers to enable application rollouts.
What is the benefit of using a CDN?
You receive a significant performance increase in the distribution of internal applications.
What types of deployments (On-Premises, shared SaaS, or dedicated SaaS) can use the CDN?
AirWatch is currently offering the CDN for all environments.
- On-Premises: On-Premises environments enable this feature. For additional information and guidelines, please refer to the VMware AirWatch CDN Integration Guide.
- Shared SaaS: AirWatch enables this feature by default.
- Dedicated SaaS: AirWatch automatically enables this feature by default. Customers have the option to "opt out" if they choose by contacting AirWatch Support.
Can you disable the CDN in the AirWatch Console?
Yes. Speak with a VMware AirWatch Representative to disable the CDN at a specific organization group.
Does the CDN have any passive storage capabilities (is the data stored statically outside of AirWatch) or is it just a pass through?
The third-party vendor AirWatch uses, Akamai, caches the data securely for 100 days.
Internal applications often contain sensitive or proprietary information. AirWatch uses a third-party vendor, Akamai, to offer the CDN feature. To ensure information is safe, please list the security certifications in place to protect data.
Akamai and AirWatch use a SHA256 authentication method to protect data.
How does the CDN ensure data integrity?
Akamai uses HMAC tokens and pre-shared keys to ensure data integrity.
· To transfer data, the system uses specific HMAC tokens for each device. Devices do not know each other's HMAC tokens that reside on the generated URL query string.
· Servers in the network cannot access the origin server where the application resides unless they have the pre-shared key.
· Akamai passes the pre-shared key to the origin server using cookies. The pre-shared key is not in the URL. Without the pre-shared key, a request for access fails.
How does the CDN encrypt data?
For information on how Akamai encrypts data, please refer to the Akamai PDF on Secure Content Delivery Network.
What protocol does the CDN use to transfer data?
All communication uses SSL, both for uploading and downloading.
Can you configure the use of the CDN or the use of the AirWatch Software Distribution system per application?
No. The CDN and the Software Distribution systems are entire environment solutions. However, an AirWatch representative can disable either solution by Organization Group.
Note: When you enable the use of the CDN, only newly uploaded internal applications use the CDN method.
Can you deploy other large files, like product provisioning files or content in the Content Locker, through the CDN?
No. The only large files distributed through the CDN are internal applications at this time.
What is the difference between File Storage, External Application Repositories, and CDNs?
The difference in these offerings is the service that facilitates the connection to send and receive internal applications.
- File Storage: Acts as an extension of the AirWatch database. Use this option when you deploy large applications. The app packages are stored in the file storage instead of AirWatch database. Device services handles the deployment of the application to devices.
- External App Repository: This option is an alternative to uploading your proprietary applications to the AirWatch database or to file storage. Add these applications with a link in the console. This link can navigate to one of your internal repositories. Configure the authentication for your internal network repositories with 'External App Repository'. The devices would download applications from the internal network repository using the Content Gateway.
Note: CDN deployment would not impact applications added as a link to an external repository.
- CDN: When internal application packages are uploaded to the AirWatch database or the file storage with the CDN enabled, devices receive the application packages from the CDN node instead of AirWatch device services. The CDN nodes are geographically dispersed and are selected to act as a source based on the location of the device.

Picking up the iPhone 5 is almost jarring -- it's barely heavy enough to feel "premium," and it'll probably make you handle it with care for free of breaking it in half with too tight a tug. The new Dock Connector -- also known as Lightning -- is most certainly smaller, and looks most at home on the new iPod nano. Without further qualifying, have a look at the comparison gallery below.

You never turn down a victory, but there is still a reality facing the Scarlet Knights square in the face: While the result was different, a lot of Rutgers' problems still plagued the team on Saturday. Columnist Paul Franklin takes a look at that situation in today's Rutgers follow.
Check it out:
Rutgers football coach Greg Schiano didn't go out to celebrate his team's 12-10 victory over Connecticut on Saturday.
"I'm kind of boring," he said Sunday during his weekly media teleconference.
His team was pretty much the same. Aside from winning a game, only their second against five defeats, the game was pretty boring. Except, of course, in the final minute after UConn missed a likely game-winning field goal from the 42.
So while there was jubilation at Rutgers Stadium, nothing else about this season really changed.
As Schiano said, "The difference between the last three weeks and this week is not very much."
The offense scored only 10 points, for the second straight week, and in its three Big East games the team has averaged 12.3 points.
For the fourth straight game Rutgers rushed for fewer than 100 yards. Saturday's effort was 76 yards on the ground.

Required An Unique Academic Scenario For Your Kid? Try Alpine Academy
In a world disparaged in the face of authentic and genuine education, the option for how and where to inform the coming generations is among the most challenging. This choice, nevertheless, is made a bit simpler by Alpine Academy. There are few alpine academy complaints Residential schools can, at their finest, provide immersive school experiences, in addition to offer a more powerful sense of self-reliance, preparing the trainees for the adult years, however in a safe environment. Alpine does much better. Exactly what's more is that Alpine has a complicated system of checks-and-balances with a nationally well-known accreditation board, with whom the frequently go through assessment and changes to their programs.
Among the important things we wanted to learn in our go to was exactly what is a boarding school or domestic school? Exists a distinction? Movie theater and fiction have actually drawn boarding schools either as a punishment-ridden shabby orphanage-like environment, or a ritzy show-biz type honorarium where the rich can give the heritage of judgmental and frustrating commercialism to their kids. The truth is that it is neither. A boarding school is merely an education circumstance offered to people who might feel the have to remain in open areas, or in a more regulated environment, perhaps even somebody trying to find an experience in their teen mission for understanding. That's truly exactly what Alpine is. It's a safe location to check out, to recover and to become yourself.
It was a convenience the whole time of our trip to see that the location was clean which the location itself sensed of peacefulness and calm. I might inform practically right away that this would be a location of recovery. The tidy air alone would suffice to rejuvenate, however under the care of the specialists that run the school, I can envision that finding out takes place, not simply academically, however in the soul. This is an independent school that isn't really about the snobbery of custom, or the entire Dead-Poets-Society-like fascination with eminence and tradition. It has to do with getting in touch with the earth, the sky, and after that yourself.
When we went to the school, we didn't just take down the stunning premises, however we likewise visited the centers with an experienced personnel that was really responsive to concerns and were open with responses. The important things that struck me most was the interest with which they addressed these concerns. This makes a distinction to me. Knowing has its functionality to it, however it takes marvel and energy to influence young minds to engage strongly with subjects, which I did see at Alpine, in the personnel.
Upon going into, we were handed a sales brochure which contained comprehensive info and feedback which had actually been gotten from previous trainees. In it, in addition to the extremely favorable reactions individuals had about this specific boarding school, there was a succinct design of the accreditation procedure by the TFA, or Mentor Household Design company. Their system includes consistent monitoring and rechecking. Simply to boil it down, the procedure consists of all brand-new instructors and trainers be examined after their very first 6 months, and after that once again at 12 months, followed by yearly examination after that.

There are many different reasons that people have to have extended absences from work. Some are completely legitimate and expected, whereas others can be more dubious in terms of intent and length. But regardless of those details, every company needs to be ready for any change in personnel. The show must go on!
So specifically, within your company ranks, pay attention to general concerns regarding knowledge and extended absences, maternity and paternity leave, military leave, sickness or emergencies among employees, and how laws differ on a state per state basis with respect to legal recourse be the employer.
General Concerns Regarding Knowledge and Work
No matter what reasons are given for the absence of an employee, a primary concern is going to be what to do about knowledge transfer. There should be a plan in place already, but if it hasn't been gone over, supervisors (and even potentially stockholders) need to have some sort of logical process so that essential processes within the company are handed off immediately to people who can handle them efficiently. With a plan, there should be no change in company output. Without a plan, there could be logistical and financial catastrophe.
Maternity and Paternity Leave
Employees are going to need maternity and paternity leave. This is a given. So, in advance of the actual occasion, there should be plenty of time to sort out company responsibilities. You should have at least six months to make sure that whatever job is been done has the people underneath trained and ready to go. Durations of these types of leave vary from state to state and company to company, but they are generally considered extended even if they're longer than a few weeks.
Military Leave
If an employee is a member of the national guard, then there's the matter of if they get called up for duty. This presents a slightly unusual situation for employers, but it's extremely important that if there's a military member of the office or company, the process of handing off job responsibilities is as smooth as possible.
Sickness or Emergency
Another common reason for extended absence is going to be either a major sickness or an emergency that requires lots of fixing. If a major debilitative disease comes into the occasion, or something like a house fire occurs, employers need to be ready with an action plan.
Laws Differ On a State per State Basis
It's important to realize that there are different laws that apply for people getting fired or laid off when it comes to any of the above conditions. So if you're the owner of a business, it's up to you to know all of the details of extended absences before you even hire a single employee.

Nothing brings excitement like a new software upgrade, although anything less than the most recent Android 6.0 Marshmallow is kind of a letdown, but good things come to those who wait. For now, Canadian owners of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will have to be satisfied receiving the latest and last version of Lollipop – Android 5.1.1. The upgrade was expected in October, and thanks to a tipster and our source, we are happy to say that devices on Bell, Telus, SaskTel and Wind Mobile customers are reporting the OTA updates, and others should soon be following. In a hurry (aren't we all), you can always do a manual check to see if it is there waiting by going into Menu, Settings, About Device, Software Update and Update. The update is over 641MB in size and should give you a number of improvements – in the performance and battery area – and a number of code fixes.
The Galaxy Note 4 is still a very popular device even though the new Galaxy Note 5 has arrived on the scene. The Note 4, while still using a faux leather backing, introduced the real metal frame, and together they made for a truly premium looking device. It is also the last model to have a removable battery and expandable internal storage – two mainstays of the Galaxy Note line since Samsung introduced the first Galaxy Note. The S-Pen, though not up to the Galaxy Note 5's standards was a great improvement over the Note 3's. It is also the first of the Note series to receive Samsung's Quad HD Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and 515 pixels-per-inch (PPI). It is still running a 32-bit processor – the Snapdragon 805 quad-core – an excellent choice with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.
The Galaxy Note 4 introduced their 16MP sensor on the main camera along with autofocus, LED flash, OIS+ and Live HDR shooting. The main camera was coupled to a 3.7MP front-facing camera (FFC) with a wide-angled lens for great group selfies or conference room video chatting. The Note 4 was also the last big battery…a 3220mAh that was reduced in the Galaxy Note 5 to only 3000mAh…and it was removable as well. It was also the last Galaxy Note device with a built-in IR Blaster. Because of these features, many Note 4 owners are opting to stay and not upgrade to the Galaxy Note 5.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Amazon (AMZN) - Get Report has sent out invitations to an event in New York next Wednesday which is expected to mark the debut of the company's eagerly-anticipated streaming device.
The invitation, which shows an armchair and a bowl of popcorn, clearly indicates the company's desire to make inroads into the living room. "Please join us for an update on our video business," it says.
Speculation has swirled for months around Amazon's next big product announcement and media reports have pointed to the launch of a streaming device. TechCrunch reports that the device could come in dongle form and start shipping in April via Amazon's Web site and retailers such as Best Buy (BBY) - Get Report and Staples (SPLS) .
Read: Babcock Lands $2.7B Deal for Avincis
A number of tech heavyweights, however, are already playing in this space. An Amazon streaming product would be up against Apple's (AAPL) - Get Report Apple TV, Google's (GOOG) - Get Report Chromecast and Roku's streaming device. There has been chatter that Amazon's new offering could be part of the Kindle Fire family and carry Netflix (NFLX) - Get Report, Pandora (P) , Hulu Plus and Amazon Instant Video.
Amazon shares dipped 0.99% to $340.03 during Thursday trading.

Bank Fail.
I need a new bank account. I love me a credit union, and it's where I've been keeping my money for the past few years, taking advantage of my Longhorn student (then alumni) status and stashing it away at the University credit union. Fantastic for when you're living in Austin. I've got a branch all around me in my current location. But once you leave Austin? Not so much. And I hate paying ATM fees.
So I'm going to need something more accessible. Something a wee bit more global. But maybe something still Texan. Maybe even something Longhorn… Thinking about this earlier today suddenly all those Bank of America advertisements in the alumni magazine paid off and I recalled their "MyExpression Banking" program. Longhorn checks, check card, heck even a Longhorn AMEX! The perfect solution. Off I went to check it out.
I hit the website, told it what state I was in, and got this:
Well. At least it wasn't Oklahoma. Or Tech.
Might want to look at diverting some of that advertising budget over to the web guys BoA.

About stevia
- Given the growing global concerns about obesity and diabetes, beverage and food companies are working responsibly to reduce sugar and calories in their products, responding to both consumers and health and wellness advocates. Sweeteners from the stevia plant offer sugar-like taste and are becoming an increasingly important tool for these companies.
- Like sugar, stevia sweeteners are from plants. But unlike sugar, they enable low-calorie and zero-calorie formulations of beverages and foods.
- Stevia leaf extract is a natural-based, zero calorie, high-intensity sweetener, used by global food and beverage companies as a great-tasting zero-calorie alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners.
- Stevia is a naturally sweet plant native to South America; today, it is grown around the world, notably in Kenya, China and the US.
- The sweet-tasting parts of the stevia leaf are up to 400 times sweeter than sugar: stevia's high-intensity sweetness means it requires far less water and land than sugar.
- Research has shown that the molecules of the stevia leaf are present and unchanged in the dried stevia leaf, through the commercial extraction and purification process, and in the final stevia leaf extract product. All major global regulatory organisations, across 65 countries, have approved the use of high-purity stevia leaf extracts in food and beverages.

Dr. Emma Collins and her team are spending their third summer on the island of Little Happy studying the effect of climate change on the great white sharks who come to the nearby nursery every year to give birth. Along with the last two inhabitants of this former fishing village, their peaceful life is disrupted when a "scientific" team led by her ex-boyfriend and marine biologist Richard show up looking for three bull sharks who we soon learn aren't just any bull sharks.
