Amazon to Sell Android Apps
Amazon to Sell Android Apps
Amazon announced they will begin selling Android apps from their online store. The move is intended to stimulate interest for consumers and delvelopers alike. The deal was quite appealing to Google since, oddly enough, finding apps through its Android Market store proved to be a more than tedious process, while Amazon's store will function with little to no hassle.
Amazon will take their usual 30% cut of any app sales and developers can keep the rest. Developers must first agree to not sell their apps, on other websites, at lower prices.
Currently, there are more than 80,000 Android apps available. Google and Amazon both hope their recent deal will spur development, making it more of a competitor with industry leader Apple, who has around a quarter of a million apps in their arsenal.

Arti & Adrian
Arti and Adrian enjoyed a beautiful ceremony and vineyard lunch for 120 guests, before partying the night away with 350 at a grand hotel reception.
Arti tells us more about their special day…
I wanted our wedding to reflect our personalities and the love we share. It was filled with gorgeous flowers, handmade details, loving family and friends, amazing food and drinks, followed by a glamorous reception party.
Both our families helped to make everything come together so well. I spent endless days and nights designing invites, researching, planning and collecting things for the wedding. Adrian and I would be working late into the night hand crafting our wedding stationery, table numbers, wedding favours, seating plan and table settings. It was amazing to see it all fall into place on the day.
The tables were decorated with wildflowers and mason jars, the cake was a simple three-tier design adorned with gorgeous pink peonies, and we treated our guests to pink and gold chocolates in matching favour boxes.
For the evening reception, I wore a traditional Indian wedding dress, and the bridesmaids also changed into sarees. Extended family and friends joined us and celebrated the evening with an amazing dinner, dessert, drinks, dancing and more cake!
We wanted our personalities to shine on our wedding day. All of the handmade touches made it truly special.

Bobby Brown's cousin was hospitalized in the early hours of Friday (06Feb15) after he was allegedly hit in the head with a bottle during an altercation with the R&B star's sister.
Authorities were called to the W Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia at around 1am local time to investigate the incident after Brown's sibling, Tina, reportedly attacked 30-year-old Shayne Brown in a dispute over a valet parking ticket.
A statement issued by a representative for the Atlanta Police Department reads: "One victim Shayne Brown was struck in the head with a bottle by suspect Tina Brown. Mr. Shayne Brown chose to drive himself to the hospital. Mrs. Tina Brown left the scene before police arrived."
Shayne, who received treatment for "lacerations" to his head, has since declined to press charges against Tina.
The fight occurred after they attended a birthday dinner for Bobby Brown, who turned 46 on Thursday (05Feb15).
The gathering was a somber affair as the New Edition singer's daughter with his late ex-wife, Whitney Houston, continues to fight for her life in hospital.
Bobbi Kristina Brown remains in a medically-induced coma at the nearby Emory University Hospital after she was found unresponsive and face down in a bathtub at the Roswell, Georgia home she shares with partner Nick Gordon last weekend (31Jan15).
The Brown and Houston families have been keeping a bedside vigil for the 21 year old and have repeatedly asked the media to respect their privacy as they deal with the situation.
Her father briefly spoke to a reporter for U.S. news show Access Hollywood outside the hospital on Thursday, simply saying of his child's condition, "She's good. We're praying."
Brown's lawyer also released a new statement dismissing rumors suggesting relatives are gathering to say goodbye to Bobbi Kristina, while her cousin Jerod Brown took to his Facebook.com page on Thursday (05Feb15) to encourage fans to continue praying for her to pull through.
He wrote, "Though it seems the odds are against her, though doctors don't see any hope for change, though we might want to play detective and find out how she got there, though it looks impossible for her to stand again STILL PRAY FOR BK".
The sad turn of events emerges days before the third anniversary of Houston's death. The superstar drowned in a bathtub at a Beverly Hills hotel on 11 February, 2012. Her passing was drug-related.

Nurses with degree from unrelated field could improve nursing shortage
Nursing school candidates who have already completed a baccalaureate level degree in another field are able to complete their training in 12-15 months, according to the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation survey. Those nurses also tend to be older and more motivated, and as a result, have an easier time coping with the high demands of the nursing profession, tend to stay in their jobs longer and experience higher rates of job satisfaction than nurses whose first baccalaureate degree is in nursing. Many first-degree nurses leave the profession due to frustration and an inability to cope with the demands of the job, the report said.
Study authors surveyed 953 recently certified nurses for the study. Questions focused on job satisfaction, work settings and job aspirations. The full study appears in the January/February issue of the Journal of Professional Nursing.

Yes, the doc would be great! But, there is no document describing HIR commands at the moment. I am thinking of updating the sources with self-documenting code. Up to now the easiest way to find out what an instruction does is to look in the Opcode.cpp, where opcodeTable array is initialized. we can find the entries for our 2 instructions: { Op_TauLdIntfcVTableAddr, ..blablabla.. "ldintfcvt", "ldintfcvt %0,%d ((%1)) -) %l", }, { Op_TauLdVirtFunAddrSlot, ..blablabla.. "ldvfnslot" "ldvfnslot [%0.%d] ((%1)) -) %l", }, skip that Tau for simplicity and you get a more-or-less self descriptive names in the first column. What I am thinking of, is adding an extra column and fill it with more descriptive comments that could be printed on request, say ... -Xjit print_hir_doc should not take too much time, I think. You can always ask what these or those instructions mean, I'll try to explain > 2) When experimenting with the JIT related command line options to > ij.exe-Xjit...I found many of them listed in the vm/doc/GettingStarted > guide...Just FYI for interested folks. yeah, and many undocumented ones, specific to optimization passes.

OK, just need to check my ideas. In brief, I see 2 places where to devirtualize: in Translator and in High-Level Optimizer. Each has it's own benefits. Translator is faster, but less heuristic-oriented (can rely only on bytecode size). > BTW, do we currently raise the IncompatibleClassChangeError if the > objectref's class does not actually support the interface? Yes, AFAIR, IncompatibleClassChangeError works, there should be a special vtable entry on that.

Anyone who saw the movie The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert will remember the stony plateau the transvestites climb to gaze over the plain below. You can stand on that same spot (wearing sequins is optional) at Kings Canyon in Watarrka National Park (tel. 08/8956 7460 for park headquarters; www.nt.gov.au/nreta/parks/find/watarrka.html). As the crow flies, it is 320km (198 miles) southwest of Alice Springs. The sandstone walls of the canyon drop about 100m (330 ft.) to rock pools and centuries-old gum trees. There is little to do except walk the dramatic canyon rim -- but that's enough!

Everyone has their own superstitions when it comes to sports: some people wear the same jerseys every week, and others gather around with the same group of friends for every game of the season. But whatever team you're rooting for, we think the best kind of preparation for this Super Bowl Sunday is to get in the spirit by watching some of the best football movies to ever hit the big screen.
Films about high school football teams have practically become a genre of their own. We've seen sports programs overcome racism in in "Remember the Titans," families' lives changed for the better in "The Blind Side" and football-obsessed communities come together in "Friday Night Lights." It's rare that a classic high school football team movie doesn't involve some kind of personal transformation along with a team victory both on and off the field.
Click through the slideshow below for a few of our favorite high school football movies of all time, and tell us: What do you plan on watching before the Super Bowl? Sound off in the comments or tweet @HuffPostTeen.

A 14-year-old boy was hospitalized early this morning after being shot while standing on his back porch in the Gage Park neighborhood, police said.
The boy had just stepped out of his home on the 5100 block of South Albany Avenue when the shooting happened about 1 a.m., said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak.
The boy's older brother had celebrated his 20th birthday on Sunday and was with several of his friends in the backyard behind the home. The 14-year-old went out onto the porch to join them, police said.

Hey folks, I've been working on my BMC 1.5 for 4 weeks now, and I'm fairly sure that I have a problem with the injector pump.
The govenor housing bleeds fine, and I can bleed the high pressure lines, but the fuel flow is only a drop from 10 seconds cranking.
History on this issue is - startes with difficulty 10 months ago, and was over revving badly, I had to control the revs with cut out switch. I haven't opened up rocker cover, but there doesn't sound like there's damage there while cranking. I reckon I have low compression now, cos won't fire even with wd40 in air intake, but I want to sort the fuel flow first.
So, after that she sat for 10 months, the diesel bug came back, but I cleaned everything from tank to main filter now.
I opened up the regulating valve, and it was a little dirty, but nothing serious, cleaned up and put it back. The piston in there looks different to in the manual, it has a groove in the middle, like a seal should go there, but no sign of a seal. Is that just a new design? Or should there be a seal?
Anyway, I did some research, and realised I should have checked to see if transfer pump was turning while cranking, I check that tomorrow. Other posts suggest the metering valve could be the issue, and to try cleaning with ATF. I guess I try that when I can get some, next week probably.
Any ideas?

If you're goal is strength and general fitness then the most over-rated fat burning exercises pictured here can help you get stronger. But when it comes to sculpting your fittest leanest toned body with sexy female curves they are complete duds! Yes these 7 exercises pictured here are not so great for women looking to sculpt a sexy feminine figure.
Not only do they burn fewer fat and calories while you do them which stalls toning results, they also FAIL to turn up the post workout fat burn too. If you're like most normal women chances are you're not a big fan of these exercises anyway so you'll probably have no issue replacing them with the best exercises for women looking to get lean and sexy.
Bench dip is one of the most common exercises that women do to get rid of bat wings and "tone up" the arms but the reality is that even though you are pressing some of your bodyweight you are still isolating the tricep muscle and not using any other muscles which means fewer calories and fat burned which slows down your arm fatloss results. A better alternative to this is the hover press featured below. The hover press is a full body movement that works your triceps about 10 times harder than a kickback or bench dip and it also targets the entire back core and legs and takes a lot of effort to do which turns up the fat burn both during and after your workout.
Plank holds are the staple of every bootcamp trainer and fatloss trainer in the world. The problem with a plank hold is that it's a basic beginner move and is so easy that even an 80 year old lady with shoulder instability or a post pregnancy mom recovering from a c-section can do it (yes, I'm referring to myself). If you want to turn up the burn you MUST venture away from static planks and start progressing your planks to more advanced versions like lateral plank hops, swinging plank to press, or my personal favorite the plank dive featured in the video here.
*Most of these killer exercises that help you get your best female figure faster are from Hourglass Waist plan.
Pull ups and chin ups are one of the toughest exercises around because they're strength moves that require you to pull your entire weight. But in order for this exercise to be an effective fatloss move you would have to be able to crank out 8-12 of these at a fast pace and with excellent technique and not many women can do that rendering this exercise a complete waste of time in terms of weight loss and fat burning. If pull-ups are on your bucket list then save them for your non-fatloss workout days and instead get busy with the faster paced modified suspension trainer muscle up or the twisting straps row featured in video above.
Traditional pushups are also a strength move that even my male clients can't do correctly or quickly enough to burn a lot of fat and calories. Again if your goal is to speed up fatloss and weightloss save these for your non-fatloss workout days and instead get busy with the squat thrust to medicine ball press, squat thrust sandbell slam with or without press, or the inverted scorpion press sit thru featured in video here. Not only do these exercises work more muscle groups than basic pushups they challenge your endurance systems and improve flexibility, mobility, coordination, agility, balance, and power too.
Single leg squat or pistols look and sound like a hardcore move but to do them correctly you actually have to slow your pace way down which slows down the pace of your entire fatloss workout. But don't misunderstand and think I'm saying pistols are bad. They're actually an excellent move for hip stability and glute development that you should do on days when you're not metcon training and looking for maximum post workout after burn. If you want to target the glutes and entire lower body while burning maximum fat and calories try a twisting hick kick, lunge jump medicine ball knee drive or my personal favorite the twisting lunge straddle thrust featured in video above.
Step ups or walking lunges with heavy weight is exactly like hiking up a mountain with a heavy pack. It recruits major booty muscle and is amazing for building round firm glutes, a strong lower body and really great endurance but these moves are really not ideal for weight loss or fat burning. A better option is to lose the heavy weight and do stair sprints instead (wear a lighter weight vest if you like). Stair sprints or interval step sprints which can also be done on a chair is the equivalent of trail running up steep hills and it torches calories and fat like crazy. It's what helped me lose the last few pounds of fat quickly 12 years ago.
Tuck jumps or box jumps are sports performance moves that improve power and agility. The problem with these high impact exercises is that 80% of the population has no business doing these high performance moves which is why Crossfit and HIIT workouts featuring these moves are often described as "an orthopedic surgeons dream come true" . You have to be a highly conditioned athlete to perform these exercises with excellent technique and at a pace that will get you the calorie burn and post workout fat burn you're after WITHOUT getting seriously injured. If you want to burn the fat and save your knees and hips from permanent damage try lower impact cardio moves at a faster pace such as squat thrust to high kick, squat jack with medicine ball toss, or any of the moves featured above.

People in 21 states are more likely to be killed in a shooting than in a traffic accident, according to a new study.
Nationwide, the VPC said that 35,647 people died in car accidents in 2014, compared to 33,599 people who were killed by guns.
The new findings come despite the that fact that more people own cars than guns, researchers noted.
"Firearms are the only consumer product the federal government does not regulate for health and safety," VPC Legislative Director Kristen Rand said in a statement. "Meanwhile, science-based regulations have dramatically reduced deaths from motor vehicles in recent decades. It's well past time that we regulate firearms for health and safety just like all other consumer products."
The Violence Policy Center, which is linked to gun control groups, measured the number of gun suicides, murders and unintentional shootings reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to compile the report.

Well played, West Indies
West Indians from anywhere and everywhere, at home or abroad, must have wished that they were in Antigua last week, especially all day on Friday.
The reason was a simple one: West Indian cricket fans were in seventh heaven for a change at the end of a Test match, and against one of the top four teams at that.
The first Test between the West Indies and England ended in a draw on Friday at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, but unlike many times in recent years, after their world championship run, this time there was plenty to smile about.
This time, there was not the usual cursing and swearing that follows a West Indies performance. This time, there was a lot of cheering, much dancing, and many people who were happy that they were there.
Set a target of 438 runs and some 130 overs, or a few minutes less than one and a half days to survive, the West Indies not only squeezed home, but riding on the backs of captain Denesh Ramdin, Jason Holder, and Kemar Roach, they did so in style and with three wickets to spare.
At lunchtime on the final day they were in serious trouble at 162 for five, and shortly afterwards, they were struggling at 189 for six. Holder joined Ramdin, however, and together they launched a confident counter-charge of 105 runs off 32.1 overs, with Ramdin getting 57 and Holder 103 not out to lead the recovery.
And even when Ramdin handed James Anderson his lifetime dream, the wicket which broke the record for the number of Test wickets for England, at 294 for seven with an estimated 19 overs remaining, Roach, 15 not out in 75 minutes off 55 deliveries, stepped into the breach and stood defiant until the end.
It was a wonderful performance, a performance which, despite the situation of the game, saw Ramdin and Holder, but not the strokeless Roach, mixing resolute defence with admirable stroke play throughout the rescue act.
The man of the moment, however, was Holder, the 23-year-old West Indies one-day captain, and the man who, as a Barbados youth captain and opening batsman and opening bowler, scored an attractive 103 against Jamaica at Kensington Park in 2009.
I saw him in action then and I saw him in action on Friday on the television, and apart from the occasion and the pressure, there was no difference in his batting in an innings which lasted for 216 minutes and 149 balls and included 15 exquisite fours.
The draw came after a hard fight by a team which seemed prepared for battle, by a team which gave their all, or most of their all, and by a team which played brilliantly at times.
Apart from finishing the Test match on a good note, the West Indies played well, or mostly so throughout.
The fast bowlers were good, particularly Jerome Taylor and at times Holder; the fielders were good, for almost the entire Test match; and the batsmen, most of them, gave it their best shot, particularly veteran Shivnarine Chanderpaul in the first innings and young Jermaine Blackwood in both innings, but particularly the first innings.
Coming from a team ranked at number eight playing against one ranked at number three in the Test match format, the performance was quite refreshing and promising.
Ramdin's captaincy, however, left much to be desired, particularly the use of his two front-line fast bowlers. He seemed not to know when to bowl them, or from which end to bowl them.
Probably, however, it was not entirely his fault: probably his bowlers expressed a preference of ends, or maybe they were afraid of aggravating old injuries.
Whatever it was, it was, for example, disappointing to see England in trouble in the second innings and Taylor, bowling like a master with two wickets for 11 runs off five overs, out of the attack and out in the field twiddling his thumbs.
At another time, on another day, the captain would have had to physically take the ball out of a bowler's hand in a similar situation, such as during the Test match at Sabina Park in 2009 when England were wiped out for 51 runs with a younger Taylor preening himself with nine overs, four maidens, five wickets for 11 runs.
The bowling of Taylor and the batting of Blackwood were also among the picks of the West Indies during five days of interesting and at times exiting play.
With the West Indies enjoying the opening sessions on the first two days of play, with England starting at 34 runs for the loss of three wickets on day one and losing five wickets for 58 runs on day two, Taylor, in particular, bowled beautifully, pitching the ball up and getting it to swing.
Blackwood, on the other hand, paved the way for Ramdin, Holder, and Roach.
Playing in only his fifth Test match, Blackwood was confidence personified, from the start to the finish in his innings and in particular his first innings of 112 not out.
Going to bat with the West Indies on 99 for four in the first innings replying to 399 and the team in trouble, Blackwood batted like a veteran, and despite two lucky escapes, went on to register his maiden Test century before he ran out of partners.
A brilliant fielder, Blackwood is a lovely driver of the ball, and just as he had done in his first Test innings, he confidently drove the second delivery received over long off for six.
This time, also, as he moved to within a handful of runs for his first century when he chipped and drove Tredwell to the long-off boundary.
It was a good innings by a young batsman, and it was a refreshing innings for West Indies cricket. In fact, the entire Test match was good for West Indies cricket.

How To Tell You've Found The Right Website Design Company
Your company needs to make a big splash in the online world, and the only way your company can do that is by hiring the right web design firm. As one smart website design company has put it, "A website without marketing is like a voice in the dark." In this day and age, you need to invest money and energy into building a website and properly marketing it to potential consumers. At the end of the day, it all boils down to choosing the right design company for your needs and making sure that they're trustworthy.
How do you know for sure that you can trust your design company?
Consider The Services They Offer
A trustworthy design company doesn't just offer web development services, but a number of other services that you may need in order to ensure that your website is properly marketed. Online marketing, on-page SEO, and localized search are just some of the services you should be looking for. Additionally, you'll discover that a trustworthy company such as Hyperweb Communications can help manage your social media pages and create content for your website that can help you become a leader in your industry!
Pay Attention To Their Online Presence
A website design company is only as talented as the website they've created for themselves. You can look at a company's portfolio to get a good idea of what they're capable of, but nothing says much about a company until you've taken a look at their very own website. You should consider different aspects of their web design such as:
- Is it user-friendly?
- Does it contain helpful information?
- Are there high-quality graphics and images to enhance user experience?
- Is the website fast-loading?
Check The Company's Reputation
It's always important to know that you're dealing with a professional company that has years of experience handling the needs of clients. A reputable and trustworthy company will have no trouble displaying testimonials from satisfied clients or sharing information about the type of work that they've done in the past. Most importantly, you'll probably find a number of positive reviews written about them on Google reviews that can help you gauge the quality of service you're likely to receive.
Competitive Pricing In The Web Design Industry
Before you commit to a company such as Hyperweb Communications, it's important to know what you can expect to pay for great website design or marketing services. An honest company will never hide how much they charge, and will either provide you a free estimate for your website or have a pricing guide that you can download in your free time. Best of all, the right company for your needs will have competitive pricing and will provide professional services for your business!
Unfortunately, not all web design companies will meet the criteria described above. In fact, you'll find that only a handful of companies are truly honest about the services they offer and price those services competitively. With that being said, Hyperweb Communications is a web design company that many Ontario residents have come to rely on in the past, and you can too!
Check Out These Four Benefits Of Cloud Storage
Cloud storage has grown in popularity throughout the last few years and it continues to grow in popularity. If you are not taking advantage of storing files in the cloud, then you are missing out. If you want to learn about some of the benefits of cloud-based storage solutions, then continue to read the rest of this article.
1. Accessibility – Storing data in the cloud is ideal for those who are always on the go because cloud storage allows easy accessibility to data. It doesn't matter what kind of data you are storing on the cloud, you can access it with any smart device, regardless of where you are. It doesn't matter if you're storing work related files, entertainment related files, games or anything else, it's important that you have easy access to them and that is exactly what the cloud has to offer. There's no inserting storage devices or anything like that when you use the cloud to store your data.
2. Recovery – Another great thing about storing data in the cloud is you'll have the ability to recover data if something goes wrong. Everyone knows the importance of backing up their data, and one of the best ways to backup data is to store it in the cloud. If you store a bunch of files on your computer or mobile device and a virus or malware ends up wrecking havoc on it, causing you to lose your files, then you won't have to worry about recovering them. All you have to do is log into your cloud account and access your files once inside.
3. Security – When you store your data in the cloud, then you can rest assure that the provider has security measures in place. In fact, the chances are the provider has taken extra precaution and added as much security as possible. The main reason why security measures are put in place is to prevent non-authorized people from gaining access to accounts and stealing data. If you want peace of mind knowing your files and other data is safe and sound, then consider uploading everything to the cloud.
4. Cost – One of the most cost effective ways of saving money on storage is to use the cloud. Cloud-based services tend to be far more affordable than other hosting solutions, as well as external hard drives. If you run a company and you store many files and you need a lot of storage space, then there's no better option than the cloud. Furthermore, some cloud-based services allow you to upgrade as soon as you run out of storage space, so you never have to worry about going out and purchasing another hard drive or anything of that nature.
Do you want to enjoy the above benefits of cloud storage? Do you want to experience all of the potential benefits of using the cloud to store all your important data and files? If so, then find a cloud-based service that can meet your needs and offer you storage solutions at a fair price.
Where To Get Excellent Rates On Performance Bonds
Contractors that are able to win certain bids on projects will be required to get performance bonds if they want to pursue this line of work. It is like a type of insurance policy, making sure that the person who won the bid is going to be honorable and complete the job. This can be a huge problem for certain businesses where people are going to bid on projects, bidding so low that they would not even be able to complete the project without a loss. To prevent this from happening, which is a waste of time for people that are offering these different jobs, performance bonds will be required in many cases.
How Performance Bonds Work
These are bonds that can be obtained from bond companies, those that issue surety bonds and performance bonds alike. You can find these companies locally, or you may be able to get them nationwide. It is important to compare rates that they are offering, and also look at the requirements for getting each one. You will want to work with the company that will allow you to ensure up to $350,000 per job in some cases, and will only require a credit check, and no additional paperwork, in order to issue the bond.
How Do You Find These Companies?
You find these companies by searching online. This will allow you to look at as many different offers as you can. Some of them will allow you to save hundreds, or even thousands of dollars, which is why comparing these different rates is so important. If you can submit this information online, it will make it easier for you to submit multiple ones to different companies. If you can, you will find that this is the best way to get bid bonds or performance bonds because it is fast and efficient.
What If You Have Bad Credit?
If you have bad credit, there is still a possibility that you will be able to get performance bonds because they will look at your track record in this industry. You can simply show them proof of previous jobs that you have completed, and they will then issue the bond to you. You will be able to find several companies that will overlook average credit ratings, those that are under 700. Most of them can issue a bond in as little as 24 hours, or at least have it approved so that you can start working on your project.
Even though this may be a hassle for some contractors, it is a necessity in this world where people underbid others just for the sake of winning. They have no intention of actually honoring that bid, and then they have to fly the job once again to go through the process. If this is what you are going through right now, simply find a national company from websites like www.theislandsaz.com that offers bonds at the lowest possible prices. One of them will be able to give you a performance bond for one or more jobs that your company will be working on.

Important Facts About AEDs
Many individuals have recently become more attuned to the threat posed by sudden cardiac arrest. A dangerous phenomenon that often strikes without any warning signs whatsoever, these types of emergencies happen with alarming frequency when we least expect it. In order to raise public understanding of sudden cardiac arrest and to try and limit the number of resulting deaths, governmental units nationwide have started requiring artificial external defibrillators (AEDs) to be maintained in a wide range of public places.
AEDs are handy, portable tools which can, when properly utilized, greatly impact survival rates in a positive way for those who suffer sudden cardiac arrest. When medical emergencies of this type happen, time really is of the essence, and these devices can buy precious minutes that regularly make the difference between life and death.
Sudden cardiac arrest is often the result of malfunctioning of the heart's electrical system in which blood flow stops without notice. Without immediate treatment, those who experience this cessation of function typically die. However, it is frequently possible for such individuals to be saved by performance of CPR and the use of a defibrillator to provide an electrical shock to the heart. It is vital that a defibrillator be present and ready to use at a moment's notice, because it is estimated that for each single minute that treatment does not occur, a patient's likelihood of surviving the event drops by approximately ten percent.
An AED will be equipped with internal computers which will measure the patient's heart function by way of skin-attached electrodes. This determines whether or not is is appropriate for the patient to be shocked. If a shock is indicated, the machine will tell the operator to administer the treatment while guiding him or her through the critical steps. Anyone who has been trained on the use of these tools will agree that they are extremely safe and accurate in terms of assessing which patients are good candidates for shock and which are not.
Considering the amazing life-saving ability of these devices, it is not surprising that governments at all levels across the nation have begun mandating the presence of AEDs in a number of venues. Some of the public places where defibrillators may need to be placed include school buildings, government facilities, sports arenas, museums, nursing homes and airports.
Some states have also expanded Good Samaritan laws so that individuals who use these devices in order to provide emergency, life-saving aid to others will not be held liable if death or significant injury still occurs. This is seen by many as an important step in the expansion of availability of these vital tools.
Other organizations have taken the initiative to launch AED training, maintenance and placement programs as a means to improve public health outcomes in their own communities. Statistics have suggested that sudden cardiac deaths have been significantly reduced in areas that have instituted AED awareness plans and raised money for additional availability of the devices in public places.

BWS Manufacturing is a company that specializes in the design, building and distribution of trailers intended for the heaviest trucks on the road, whether they're hauling commercial products in an eighteen wheeler or a more specialized tractor trailer such as a lumber hauler or an oil and gas delivery truck. Without these and other trailers, mass industry in most parts of the world grind to a halt, yet few people realize the difficulties behind the conception, construction and use of these massive devices that make the modern world possible. Each large trailer is a specialized device intended for a specific job, and their design and manufacture must account for this every step of the way.
BWS Manufacturing designs and builds trailers for a wide variety of commercial and industrial purposes, with a focus on quality and reliability that makes the company's reputation grow with each new customer. Having been in business for almost half a century, the company has been there for a great many twists and turns in the modern trailer manufacturing industry, yet their focus on building quality trailers in the United States and Canada and selling their wares for the North American market has seen to it that they've survived the rough economic times of the past few decades to grow and even thrive on their reputation for building some of the best, most durable and most dependable trailers in the industry.
One of their designs from their in house engineering department has actually been awarded a patent on what many consider to be among the quickest and less difficult to load air assisted gooseneck trailers that are detachable. Indeed, a number of their models are air assisted for their tilting decks and ramps, using compressed air rather than heavier hydraulic lift systems. This has a number of benefits, the least of which is that the trailers are far more environmentally friendly for using fewer potentially hazardous chemicals. These designs also take a great deal less equipment to build, use and repair, making maintaining these trailers a less expensive proposition for the owner of the trailer, something any shipping company can find incredibly important for the long term use of their equipment. And, with the engineers and designs of the company continuing to push the envelop of what's possible, each new year is a new set of possibilities for newer, more powerful and efficient designs for trailers to match and exceed the competition.
The company employs a number of CWB certified welders that they treat not as laborers but as artisans. These welders and other workers have crafted a wide range of trailers for the company's sales lots for a wide variety of specialized purposes. Their trailers have been crafted for a wide range of agricultural purposes, as well as work in the construction and forestry industries. BWS also build trailers for the commercial trucking that brings goods from around the world to local stores across the continent. The company builds a number of other devices for hauling oil and gas and other more specific yet no less essential purposes.
A Simple Guide To Understanding Bid Bonds
Bid bonds are important as they act as proof of guarantee to project owners. They show that a contractor can comply with the bid contract and act as proof that they can complete the job as stipulated in the contract. These bonds are a guarantee that you provide to project owners stating that you have the capability to take on a project and implement it once the project owner has selected you during the bidding process.
Often, project owners don't know if the contractor has all the necessary resources to take up a project or if he or she is financially stable. However, with a bid bond in place, they can feel more comfortable when awarding a project to contractors knowing that if a contractor fails to deliver, they can get compensation from the bond.
What Happens When A Bond Obligation Isn't Met?
If bond obligations aren't met, the surety, and the principal – referring to the contractor – are held liable for the bond both jointly and severally. Often, there are some penalties that will take effect when the contractor fails to fully comply with the obligations stipulated in the bond. Both the surety and principal will be held liable for any additional costs the project owner incurs when selecting and awarding a different contractor. Normally, this is the difference in dollars between the lowest bid and the second lowest bid. The standard penal sum of most bonds is often 10 to 20% of the total bid amount.
Asking for bid bonds helps project owners sift serious contenders from jokers as it makes it hard for contractors to submit frivolous bids as they would be required to get the work done, or pay for bond premiums. At the same time, companies that issue bonds perform comprehensive financial and credit reviews before providing bonds to a company.
When bidding, most contractors will estimate what a job will cost them to complete. They then submit this cost to the project owner in the form of a bid. This means that the company providing bond will have to pay the project owner the difference between the lowest bid and the next lowest bid. There are times when bonding companies may sue contractors who defaulted to recover these costs. However, the possibility of a lawsuit is usually determined by the terms of the bond itself.
The Miller Act stipulates that all federal project bidders should submit a bid bond before bidding for any project task. Since this is one of the most effective ways to ensure that you get serious people working on a project, many private companies have opted to copy this approach to protect themselves from risks during the bidding process.
As a contractor in the construction industry, it is extremely important that you get surety bonds if you want to be more competitive. In some localities, surety bonds are required for you to obtain permits and licenses. Similarly, almost all developers and project owners will require that contractors submit bid bonds before they can bid on their projects.

Is Accounts Receivable Financing Right For Your Business?
Small business owners primary concern is to generate cash flow as well as keep enough capital in the books to fund payroll, inventory, etc. This is a constant struggle for many business owners and dealing with cash flow shortages is a ever present fear lurking around. Traditional small business financing such as a line of credit or loans may not cut it and possibly out of reach. It's at times like these that business owners will consider the option of accounts receivable financing. What we'll be discussing here are a bit more about how this is structured as well as some pros and cons of this creative financing model.
Another word used in the industry to refer to accounts receivable financing is known as factoring and one of the oldest forms of commercial financing. The whole process involves the selling to a specialized financing or factoring company the outstanding invoices or "receivables" at a discount. The factoring company will take on the risk of these outstanding invoices with the intent of making the difference of what is owed to what they pay out. This benefits a small business as a quick influx of cash is possible instead of waiting months for the invoices to be paid.
Now the amount of discount is where the differences lie and is something each factoring company has their own proprietary methods to evaluate. Usually this is based upon the creditworthiness of the client which owes the bill as well as the amount of time that has passed. An invoice that is more than a month or two old is seen differently from a risk perspective than one that is current. Ninety day old invoices already pose significant risks and usually not taken on.
Be aware that this is a type of unsecured financing with no need of any collateral to secure it. There is no need give away an ownership of your business either so the quick cash may be absolutely necessary during lean times. There is also many cons to this, as with anything involving financing.
First there is a stigma as most customers will be informed of the factoring company receiving the money instead of you. Factoring can be more costly than traditional loans and the contract could be much longer than you've anticipated. Since a factor is not a debt collection agency, if the customer doesn't pay, you will owe even more than you started. Despite all of this, accounts receivable financing clearly has a lot of positives that outweigh the negatives, depending on your situation.
As you can see, it's not without good reason that accounts receivable financing is a popular option for business owners. Hopefully what you read here has given you a better picture of how you can implement it if necessary.
Corporate Event Planning Tips
Are you tasked with having to plan a corporate event soon? If so, you are likely going to want it to run as smoothly as possible. Below we will discuss some of the best corporate event planning tips that you should implement for your next event.
Corporate Event Planning Tips:
1. Plan Ahead.
It is wise to always try to plan ahead when you are planning on corporate event. If you need to secure a special venue, you are going to want to do so first thing. The lack of planning ahead could result in having to settle for a specific venue or place.
2. Budget.
Always – repeat – always come up with a budget that you are going to stick to. Nothing is worse than planning an event, only to find out that you went significantly over budget. It is always advised to leave some room in your budget for overruns and mistakes. That way, you know that you are covered in the event that something goes wrong.
3. Scan Contracts and Agreements.
If you sign contracts and agreements with service providers, you need to scan them in and keep copies of them. This will protect you in the event that one of the service providers messes up or tries to over charge you.
4. Invitations.
Be sure that you send out your invitations ahead of time with enough leeway that people will be able to properly RSVP for the event. This way, you will have a proper head count and know exactly how many people to prepare for.
5. Music.
If you are planning a corporate event, do not make the mistake of hiring a huge music company. It is important to keep the music mellow and more so like background music than in your face type of music. Corporate events are more social gatherings than they are 'parties.'
6. Emergency Contingency Plans.
Whenever planning any type of event, it is important that you make emergency plans in case anything goes wrong. Plan for potential natural disasters, illness, poor weather, etc.
7. Delegate Tasks.
The fact is, corporate event planning can be difficult and time consuming. You may be better off delegating minor tasks to others to help you take a more 'project management' type of approach. You do not want to get caught up in all of the little things. You will be better off delegating the small tasks and keeping your eye on the bigger picture.
8. Transportation.
One of the biggest things that project planners forget to take into account is the transportation both; to and from the event. It is essential that you take these considerations into account in order to effective plan a flawless event. See whether or not people will have space for parking, or if other arrangements have to be made. Believe it or not, but transportation can literally turn a successful event plan into an unsuccessful one very quickly. This should be a key thing to do before you finalize your planning process.
As you can see, there are a ton of things that you need to consider when planning an event like this. It is important that you really focus on the planning stages and come up with a solid budget that you can stick to throughout the process. It is also important to have contingency plans in case anything goes wrong. Also, be sure to protect yourself the best way possible by keeping all of your signed contracts handy. And lastly, you will want to take more of a project management approach and delegate tasks accordingly.

U16 Div1 Football Championship Final Naas 6-23 Kilcullen 2-05
U16 Division 1 Championship Final
Naas 6-23
Kilcullen 2-05
This all-conquering Naas U16 team came to St Conleth's today determined to add the U16 championship to their list of achievements, and despite a tricky opening 5 minutes, went on to totally dominate the game with their fluent football style.
The conditions could at best be described as autumnal with sun, a strong cross wind and a few heavy showers. This game started with a serious pace to it. Kilcullen were straight into the game and their attack after 2 minutes led to Naas wing back Paddy Kelly receiving a harsh black card for a marginally late tackle - a shame to see a 15 year old dismissed in such a big game in this manner. Paddy was replaced by Shane Coffey who did a great job in Paddy's absence. Another card, this time yellow, on Paddy McDermott for a little push had the sideline excited, but an early point for Dermot Hannafin, a left foot shot to the net by Tom Brown and 3 quick points from Sam Morrissey had Naas ahead 1-04 to no score after 10 minutes.
Eamon Dunne was detailed to pick up Kilcullen danger man Paudie Behan from the start and Jack Cleary played in a deeper role, with both lads on top throughout. The Naas wingbacks were on the ball a lot and moved the ball quickly. Great work by Alex Beirne out in the middle led to another Naas goal - finished by Sam Morrissey following lovely inter passing. A Sam Morrissey fisted point, left footers from Hanafin and Browne, before Paddy McDermott again finished to the net to make the score 3-07 to nil with 22 minutes played. Kilcullen were guilty of kicking 4 balls short into David Morrissey in the goal and each led to a Naas counter-attack, with Mark Maguire and Conor McGroary available to take quick ball.
At this stage Naas were dominant across every line of the pitch. Alex Beirne added 2 points, 1 from a well struck 45, and Paddy McDermott pointed to make it 3-10. Naas were then penalised 60 yards out, and the ball moved forward for backchat. Kilcullen took it quickly, with Paudie Behan latching onto it 25 yards out and blasting on the run to the roof of the net leaving David Morrissey with no chance. A great finish. However, Naas won the resultant kick out, worked it quickly up the field, with Jamie Osborne drilling a left foot shot inside the right hand post to the net for an immediate response. Kilcullen got the next kick out, and a high ball into the Naas square was contested by a bunch of players To everyones surprise, the referee awarded a penalty, which David Morrissey duly saved, with the deflection going over for a point. Half time- Naas 4-10 Kilcullen 1-01.
The message at half time was to maintain the same gameplan - move the ball quickly, work hard, ignore the referee, keep focussed. The message was taken on board - Jack Carroll struck a nice point, Alex Beirne followed up with another, before Paddy McDermott sprinted in from the left and rifled a shot into the top right corner for goal number 5. Jamie, Sam and Alex raised 3 more white flags before the Kilcullen substitute Scott Fleming finished a breaking ball to the net - the score at this stage Naas 5-15 to 2-01. Kilcullen's left half back hit a good point, as the the right corner back. However, Dan Woulfe, on for Jack Carroll, responded by getting on the end of a good pass and coolly finished goal number 6.
Late points from Tom Browne and Jamie Osborne finished out the scoring with the 30 winning margin far greater than anticipated. The platform for the win was the Naas defence and midfield where the stats show the Naas dominance in winning breaking ball and kick outs, and the forwards who were accurate all day, working hard for each other and playing at pace. David Morrissey's kick out almost always found a Naas player and the turnover count was low.
This group of players have had an incredible few years - September 2014 marks the last time they lost a league or championship match, away to Athy 3 years ago. They have won all before them since including the U13, U14, U15 and U16 championships, and the U14 and 16 Leagues. Liam McCormack, Lead Mentor, and everyone associated with the team thank them for their dedication, attitude and the sheer fun that they have provided us down the years.
A big thank you to all the parents for your support and understanding also. Thank you also Cyril Kevlihan for your calm advice this year and the impact you have made. As mentors it has been a pleasure being associated with the group. Its only a few years since they were in the football nursery with Tommy and we now look forward to watching them stick together and keep this run going at Minor and eventually Senior level. Nás Abu.
Scorers: Paddy McDermott 2-05, Sam Morrissey 1-05, Tom Browne and Jamie Osborne 1-03, Alex Beirne 0-04, Dan Woulfe 1-00, Dermot Hannifin 0-02, Jack Carroll 0-01.
