Angelina Jolie knows the paparazzi have a job to do, she just wishes they would do it from a distance.
The superstar mother of six told Larry King Wednesday she wishes there was a law protecting the children of celebrities from relentless shutterbugs.
"I do think and I do hope that there will at some point be laws about how close they can get to children with cameras," Jolie told King.
Getting rid of them altogether is not an option, she admitted.
"I don't think the hunger for it will ever go away, and so I think it will always be fed," she said.
But with her and mate Brad Pitt jet-setting around with half a dozen kids in tow, she worries about the young 'uns' privacy.
"I think at some point it's going to be clearer that it's emotionally not healthy," Jolie said. "And with long lenses, there's no need. I'm somebody that would like there to be a law about the distance they have to children."

He was 'good for it'
"I'm the only Jewish redneck captain on the Bay. What could be better?" Captain Bob Slaff liked to say, with a huge smile beneath his signature handlebar mustache. Capt. Bob was an icon in Maryland's recreational and commercial maritime communities. He was also my good friend, mentor and colleague.
Bob and his wife Ester ran a successful marine business in Wilkes-Barre, Penn., that included distributing British Seagull outboard engines and Avon inflatable boats, Marlow rope and other supplies. Then one day 31 years ago, he called on Fawcetts in Annapolis and Wilkes-Barre was history. He and Ester never looked back. His company, Inland Marine, merged with IMTRA Corporation, and he and Ester later retired.
He loved the Bay and boating, and he treasured his life in Annapolis and Eastport.
Retired meant nothing to Bob.
Soon after he came to town he was asked to join the board of directors of the Maryland Marine Trades Association, where I served as executive director. He served two terms as president. I had never met anyone so enthusiastic about his life — or the marine trades.
He and I were in the group that founded the Eastport Yacht Club for sailors and boaters who didn't want to live under the rules of the Annapolis Yacht Club. He was a happy member of the club for 27 years. Appointed to the Maryland Boat Act Advisory Council, he served for over 20 years to make sure boaters were not hampered by overly restrictive regulations.
Bob touched the water in every way he could. Into his 80s, he wrote on boating topics for The Capital, the Mariner and the Baltimore Sun. For his "significant and extraordinary contributions to the maritime community and the promotion of recreational boating and fishing in Maryland," Gov. Martin O'Malley honored Bob with the title of Chesapeake Bay Ambassador.
A strong supporter of the Maryland Watermen's Association, he would always ask me "does the MWA need a little hit?" By which he meant financial help. "Because if you do," he added, "I'm good for it."
Captain Bob Slaff passed away peacefully at age 89 on March 8.
He was good for it, as his friends, colleagues, devoted family and wife of 65 years surely knew.

Survey shows that while many use it personally, only about half of CFP® professionals use social media professionally
Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. today released the results of a comprehensive survey of CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals' use of social media along with a new guide to help CFP® professionals navigate the ever-changing world of social media.
CFP Board's new Social Media Guide for CFP® Professionals aims to help the 67,000 CFP® professionals throughout the country promote their CFP® marks through effective use of social media. The document, which can be found here and on CFP Board's website, provides tips and best practices for getting started with social media or enhancing a current social media strategy.
According to a survey of CFP® professionals, about 73 percent of those surveyed say they use social media, though only about 45 percent use it for professional purposes. The top reasons CFP® professionals cited for not using social media for professional purposes included:
"These results indicate that CFP® professionals are interested in using social media as a platform to educate the public about the value of financial planning and why they should use a CFP® professional in addition to using it as a tool to network," said Kevin R. Keller, Chief Executive Officer of CFP Board. "More work needs to be done though to help CFP® professionals and others better understand the rules of the road when it comes to the use of these communications tools. This is why we are excited to provide a brand-new resource that will help CFP® professionals in their use of social media."
Additional highlights of the survey include:
About the Survey
The survey was completed in October 2012 with 3,532 CFP® professionals responding with the results used to enhance CFP Board's engagement with CFP® professionals through social media. Results also provided guidance for the development of the new social media guide, which will help CFP® professionals effectively use social media while complying with their firms' requirements.
ABOUT CFP BOARD: The mission of Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. is to benefit the public by granting the CFP® certification and upholding it as the recognized standard of excellence for competent and ethical personal financial planning. The Board of Directors, in furthering CFP Board's mission, acts on behalf of the public, CFP® professionals and other stakeholders. CFP Board owns the certification marks CFP® , CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® (with plaque design) and CFP® (with flame design) in the U.S., which it awards to individuals who successfully complete CFP Board's initial and ongoing certification requirements. CFP Board currently authorizes more than 67,000 individuals to use these marks in the U.S.

Abbott, Langston visit camp
The Angels welcomed two of their best and most popular pitchers in franchise history — Jim Abbott and Mark Langston — to camp on Monday, to interact with the younger athletes and enrich them with the club's rich tradition.
"These guys were terrific pitchers," manager Mike Scioscia said. "Even more, they're terrific people. We're excited to have them interact with our pitchers, especially the young pitchers. Sometimes a pitcher thinks he's on an island; that's not the case. It's great to have those guys here."
Scioscia said another great Angels lefty, Chuck Finley, will make an appearance along with Tim Salmon and Bobby Grich. Don Baylor, who spent time with the team last spring, is busy in his new role as a coach for the Rockies.
Scioscia, who spent his Dodgers youth getting to know legends such as Roy Campanella, John Roseboro and Sandy Koufax at Dodgertown, has been trying to connect his players with those who preceded them in the Angels' colorful tradition.
Joe Saunders, who emerged as an All-Star last season after battling Ervin Santana for a spot in the rotation in the spring, is the latest in a long line of superb — and occasionally eccentric — Angels southpaw starters. It all began with the inimitable Bo Belinski of no-hit and extracurricular fame, followed by the superb Clyde Wright and remarkably gifted Frank Tanana.
Few teams in history have had a better trio of lefties in the same rotation than Abbott, Finley and Langston from 1990-92. They were a combined 55-28 in '91 — Langston winning 19, Finley and Abbott 18 apiece — for a club that finished 81-81.

So many great memories in this post. No championships, of course, but a lot of great memories! Including Chuck Finley yelling, "Heads UP!" in my direction during a Garret Anderson at-bat on the first practice field. Fin was shagging flys in LF. I was walking along the path away from home plate. I heard the crack of the bat but figured since it was GA, I was safe. The ball bounced at my feet. I looked over at Fin and he said, "Missed you by thatmuch." Thanks, Chuck!
Thanks for the updates Lyle. These blog posts are just the ticket for those of us excitedly awaiting Opening Day.
What a wonderful year to be covering Spring Training, eh? The Tempe air charged with youthful energy. New arms gunning for a spot in the rotation, pen. Prospects at 3B, 2B, 1B, C, all hustling to make this is their breakthrough camp.
D*mn, I'm jealous! Ah well, send the boys my love. . .BeesGal http://www.chiburibird.net/sporkballblog/

Former Asymptote blog editor Allegra Rosenbaum interviews translator and scholar Jennifer Scappettone, whose profile appeared in our Winter 2016 issue. Her translation of Italian poet Milli Graffi was featured on the Asymptote blog last week and her translation of F. T. Marinetti's futurist poetry appeared in our Spring 2016 issue.
Who are you? What do you translate? (This is just a preliminary question! To be taken with an existential grain of salt.)
I am a poet and scholar of American and Italian nationalities who grew up in New York, across the street from a highly toxic landfill redolent of the family's ancestral zone outside of Naples (laced with illegal poisonous dumps). I translate Fascists and anti-Fascists; Italian feminists and a single notorious misogynist; inheritors of Futurism and the historical avant-garde; and contemporary poets who are attempting to grapple with the millennial burden of the "Italian" language by channeling or annulling voices from Saint Francis through autonomia.

Jenelle Evans.
The soap opera of trouble magnet Jenelle Evans just underwent a plot twist.
E! News has exclusively learned that the erstwhile "Teen Mom" star has had all four pending charges against her -- including simple assault, marijuana possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance -- dismissed in court Monday morning.
What did Jenelle have to say about Snooki? Read her diss!
The charges stemmed from the arrests of both Evans and her ex-boyfriend Gary Head in North Carolina back in June, when an altercation turned physical and less than one-half ounce of marijuana was found on the premises.
"Jenelle was very pleased with the results today in court," her attorney Dustin Sullivan (who incidentally is racking up quite the flattering stats for himself, having successfully handled the dismissal of 23 of the 24 charges brought against Evans under his stead), told E! News.
Unfortunately, Head didn't get quite as clean an escape.
Check out Teen Mom's Farrah in total model mode
In court last week, Evans scored another legal victory, having been granted a no-contact order against Gary, which prevents her ex from direct or indirect contact with the reality star for one year.
"She is excited to have this chapter of her life behind her and feels confident that she will be protected with the no-contact order in place," Sullivan told E! News. "As for what this means for Jenelle, she has another set of charges dismissed and she can move on with her life."
Now let's hope these two kids can keep themselves out of trouble.

Bill Wolkoff has found greener pastures outside of Silicon Valley.
Wolkoff, owner of Sky River RV, moved his dealership from Sunnyvale, Calif. – located in the heart of the information technology Mecca – south to Paso Robles, a community in the farm, ranch and vineyard country about halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The move occurred during January. Wolkoff described his sales during February as very good, although he said his business in March was flat.
However, Wolkoff believes Sky River, an Airstream, Itasca, Rialta, Carriage and Trail-Lite dealership, has more potential in Paso Robles.
Silicon Valley is the area at the south end of San Francisco Bay that includes the cities of San Jose and Palo Alto. "I won't bad-mouth that market, there are dealers who are successful there," Wolkoff said. "But it's becoming crowded and towns are passing laws banning people from parking RVs in front of their homes."
Also, the astronomically high cost of housing in "the valley" made it difficult to retain employees without paying "exorbitant wages" beyond what Wolkoff said he could afford.
"And people there (Silicon Valley) are so busy, they don't have the time (for the RV lifestyle)," he continued. "They are younger and they don't have families."
The customer base in the Paso Robles market is not older, but a higher percentage of couples have children, which makes them stronger candidates for buying RVs, Wolkoff added.
Until recently, the Paso Robles market was "under-dealered," but Wolkoff said that changed because "a few more have sprouted up."
Sky River had to deal with a "rolling (power) blackout" recently, and Wolkoff believes the 40% increase in the cost of electric power passed on to California businesses and consumers during March will have a slightly negative impact on the RV market.
But Wolkoff, a New York native, added, "We're used to earthquakes and floods (in California). And it's not as bad as snow."

Scuba diving in Spain: Cabo de Gata
Every year, thousands of people from all over the world choose to go scuba-diving in their free time, and Spain is one of the best places to do it.
Scuba diving
Beach at Cabo de Gata
Discovering the underwater world of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Nature Reserve in Andalusia is simply a matter of making up your mind. Come to this natural spot, a UNESCO biosphere reserve, and plunge into the crystalline Mediterranean waters. A fascinating journey awaits you through a stunning and mystery-filled sea bed in an unrivalled setting. Are you coming?
The 63 kilometres of coastline in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Nature Reserve are a genuine paradise for scuba diving and snorkelling enthusiasts. This enclave is the first Terrestrial and Maritime Park in Andalusia and is just 20 minutes by car from the city of Almeria. Come and discover the hidden coves, cliffs, unspoiled beaches and dunes at the edge of the shore in this desert-like landscape with its amazing coastline and crystal-clear waters, warm and clean all year round.
Thanks to the excellent underwater visibility, the mild temperature of the water from January to December, the calmness of the sea, and over a thousand animal and plant species on the sea bed, this area is a popular choice for diving fans. But remember, the park is a protected nature area. So if you decide to practise scuba diving on your own, you will need to obtain a permit from the Environment Department of the Regional Government of Andalusia. For this, you will be required to submit your official diving qualification and relevant insurance. And don't forget that underwater fishing is prohibited in the entire park.
Another option is to hire the services of one of the specialised diving clubs in the area. These companies offer guided dives as well as courses for all levels, including technique improvement for expert divers and beginners courses. Equipment hire, underwater guides and boat transfers to various points along the coast are all included with the course. To enrol for one of these courses, you must be over 14 years of age and must provide a medical certificate confirming your suitability for this sport.
A unique experience awaits divers. You will be able to contemplate hundreds of fish of varying colours, species and sizes: starfish, octopus, sea urchins, sponges, algae, the best-preserved Poseidonia meadows along the Mediterranean coast... Caverns, ravines and caves also await you: sea beds with incredible geological formations, creating a sci-fi setting of brightly-lit areas, semidarkness and constant contrasts of colour.
Besides, the sea at the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Nature Reserve contains hidden "treasures". For example, the Vapor Arna opposite Cabo de Gata itself, a steamboat almost 100 metres long that sunk in 1928 and is still in reasonably good condition; the Punta del Castillo at San José, ideal for nocturnal diving; the Cueva del Frío, a vast crevice with a cavern 14 metres long; the underwater nooks and crannies around Escollos, by the fishing village of La Isleta del Moro; and Cala de San Pedro, a cove where archaeological remains are frequently found. To do apnea diving (without tanks – holding your breath) or to snorkel, you need do no more than don your goggles and snorkel tube to observe the fascinating underwater animal and plant world. The best thing is to head for the tourist office in the park itself, where they will be able to clarify all your queries. There are also numerous other activities that you can practise locally, such as hiking, bird watching, caving, windsurfing, water skiing, climbing, paragliding, hang gliding, cycle touring, kayaking, etc. What are you waiting for?

How (and How Much) You Pay into Social Security
Copyright © 2012 AARP. All rights reserved.
Social Security is paid for through taxes. (No surprise there.) But you're not the only one paying into the Social Security pot: Your employer also pays a portion of your Social Security tax. All that money that's taken out of your paycheck today goes to pay the benefits for today's retirees.
If you're a wage earner, you pay into the Social Security system straight out of your paycheck. This payroll tax is dubbed "FICA," which stands for the Federal Insurance Contributions Act. The Social Security portion of your payroll tax is typically 6.2 percent of earnings up to a certain amount, which is adjusted annually (in 2012, the cap was set at $110,100). Employers also pay 6.2 percent for each employee. In addition, workers and their employers each pay 1.45 percent of all earnings for Medicare's Hospital Insurance Trust Fund.
If you're self-employed, you're on the hook for both the employee and employer share, which usually adds up to 12.4 percent for Social Security and 2.9 percent for Medicare. This tax is dubbed "SECA," for the Self-Employed Contributions Act.
In recent years, politicians have been increasingly willing to ease the payroll tax burden in response to economic conditions. In 2011, for example, Congress approved a "payroll tax holiday" to boost the economy; it lowered the worker's tax rate to 4.2 percent instead of the usual 6.2 percent. Employers still paid the usual 6.2 percent. The self-employed paid an overall rate of 10.4 percent. (In early 2012, politicians extended the payroll tax holiday through the end of the year.)
Most workers pay Social Security taxes on all their earnings, because most workers don't earn above the cap for Social Security payroll taxes. Well more than half — maybe three-quarters — of U.S. households pay more in Social Security taxes than in federal income taxes. Although no one enjoys paying taxes, people tend to accept the Social Security tax because it enables them to earn important benefits.

50 Butterflies were treated to an awesome get-together in conjunction with Butterfly Project Malaysia's 4th Birthday Bash. JerlynnL in partnership with The Butterfly Project Malaysia was kind enough to host the party, we had a blast!
Mamasan Tammy's opening speech and introduction on what is Jerlynn'L.
Jerlynn'L products are suitable for all age groups. The brand is inspired by a male Chidori bird which spends a big part of its life away from its family in search of a safe place to build the family nest. The father bird would give his life to raise his family and protect them from predators. And just like the story, Jerlynn'L was created by a father to protect and provide daily care products for his precious children.
The founder of this brand realised that the best way to protect and care for his children was by creating quality, customized child-safe and paraben free products. Hence Jerlynn'L was born.
Jerlynn'L has formulated skin care that not only restore skin health but to protect even before skin problems arise. Its Signature Collection is simply one of a kind! It contains 4x more Ceremide III compared to other products in the market. Ceremide III helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin and improve skin's elasticity.
The collection protects the family from head to toe.
Here's the yellow birthday cake! It spells fun, fun, fun with loads of jelly bean candies and marshmallow as toppings.
Happenings at the party!Grace and Rawlins stole the show and became the unofficial "MASCOT" of the event. Both Beauty and the Beast (Maleficent) was the centre of attention at the Butterfly Malaysia's 4th Birthday Bash. Everyone wanted a piece of them (in their photos of course), including me and Rika Jue. Here's my OOTD for the party. I wore a yellow mustard top with a beige flower headgear and the show stealer here is the Bright Yellow Hawaian Hoola Skirt. Nope I did not DIY this skirt myself. Bought it at Fun N Cheer many moons ago and I had no opportunity to wear the skirt up till now. I only pinjam my gf Edazz pakai once for an event. Glad I could finally put it to good use once again.
As a proud member of the Butterfly Project Malaysia, and personally I love butterflies too....I decided to decorate my right cheek with golden butterfly stickers that looked like tattoo upclose. Cantik tak?

The teaching on Salford's Physics degrees is recognised to be of outstanding quality. A unique element is the high level of employer engagement involved. Courses are informed by the internationally excellent theoretical and applied research undertaken by Physics staff who lead the theoretical and applied research groups of the Materials and Physics Research Centre.
Physics degrees at Salford are highly careers-focused. Physics was awarded a score of 23/24 points in the last official UK University Subject Review by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education for the Quality of its Teaching. This score means that our courses, our teaching, and the learning environment that we provide are amongst the best in the country.
In the 2010 National Students Survey Physical Sciences at the University of Salford gained an outstanding 96% score in Student Satisfaction.
Physics courses and accreditation
We run undergraduate courses in Physics, Physics with Acoustics, Physics with Studies in North America, and Pure and Applied Physics, with pathways including the Open University's Open Plus scheme and entry via a Foundation Year. Our Physics degrees are accredited by the Institute of Physics, and so lead to recognised qualification as a physicist; 3 or 4 year options are available.
More information about Physics degrees at the University of Salford...
Careers in Physics
Career opportunities for physics graduates are many and varied, and are typically available in sectors including Physics and Technology research, the Aerospace industry, Information Technology, the Optics and Laser industries, Acoustics and Teaching. Many graduates work in fields where a numerate background is required, such as banking, stock dealing, other parts of the finance industry, and development of various types of automated systems.
Recent employers of graduates from Salford physics degrees include: ADT, British Nuclear Fuels, European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) Astrium, Gabriel Scientific Consultancy, and the Royal Air Force.
For a more detailed description of physics graduate employment opportunities, career paths and working life, please visit: Career Directions and Working Life from the Institute of Physics; Typical Job Sectors and Careers Using Physics from physics.org.
Why study physics? Why study physics at Salford?
Physics underpins much in our everyday lives: basic magnetism led to CAT, PET and MRI scanners, photonics led to CD's, LED displays and barcode scanners. In fact much of technology today - mobile phones, solar panels, hydrogen cars, computer technology, music technology and many more - is founded in physics. As a result physicists are in great demand in almost every walk of life.
Whether you will eventually run your own business, or play a vital part in an established institute or company, there is a diverse range of employment sectors to choose from. For example, here is how Alex Seeley - a Tax Adviser at Ernst & Young - described the skills that a physicist develops:
"Physicists are excellent strategic thinkers because they can successfully interpret complex information into actionable results that can positively affect organisations. Data collection, extraction and outcomes are core functions for business and such skills are inherent in physics."
Physics at Salford
A unique part of the Salford physics degrees is our emphasis on employer engagement. Professional physicists from employer organisations - like Salford Royal Hospital, the Royal Navy, BDP Acoustics, Atkins Global, and OpTIC Technium - come in to talk about real-life situations of working in industries where physics graduates are sought after. Students are also given problems to solve related to the industry of the guest speaker.
As a Salford physics graduate you will have no shortage of skills. Our teaching methods and physics courses provide you with skills that are relevant in any working environment. As well as being highly numerate, analytical and logical, the chances are that you'll also be a creative thinker - capable of communicating effectively, managing projects and excellent at problem solving and negotiating.


text: Memetix 12 Posted May 15, 2010 My group is starting a rogue trader campaign next week and, having some spare time, I have created an all singing and dancing spreadsheet to aid with character creation and subsequent advancement. It supports all careers, origin path, skills and talents and tracks XP spent. It is written in Excel (2007) and mostly works in 2003. There is a printable custom character sheet (2 landscape pages) and a fully functional front and back sheet that print with the official character sheet image as a watermark. However due to a bug with image scaling in Excel 2003, this part only works in 2007. I could do with some "play testers" to find any bugs and a place to post it on the internet.

Greenwood, S.C. - The Georgia Southwestern Lady Hurricane soccer team couldn't come back from a 2-0 deficit Saturday afternoon as they fell to the Lander Bearcats, 2-1, at the Jeff May Complex in Greenwood, S.C.
The 'Canes, looking to ride a wave of momentum from their thrilling double overtime victory against Brewton-Parker this past Wednesday, played the Bearcats even through the first half.
In the second, a goal from Jamie Shaw and a header from Jenny Peterson put Lander up 2-0.
In the 87th minute, freshman forward Amber Milner got the Hurricanes on the board with her first career goal but the Blue & Gold couldn't muster anymore offense as they fell 2-1.
On the game, the Bearcats outshot the 'Canes 37-4 including a 15-3 SOG advantage. Senior GSW goal keeper Amber Bahri had a great defensive effort for the Hurricanes as she accounted for 13 saves on the day.
Georgia Southwestern falls to 2-4 overall and 0-2 in the PBC and Lander improves to 3-1-2. The Lady 'Canes return to the pitch on Tuesday, Sept. 18, as they travel to Alabama State.

Harvard Introductions vs Texas Tech
TUCSON, Ariz. – In the first elimination game of the 2011 NCAA Softball Tucson Regional, the Harvard softball team was unable to get its bats going, falling, 7-0, to Texas Tech Saturday afternoon at Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium. With the loss, Harvard (36-16) becomes the first team eliminated from the Tucson regional, while the Red Raiders move on to play New Mexico State, which fell to Arizona, 8-0, in Saturday's first game.
Through four games of the Tucson regional, every contest has been a shutout. NMSU blanked Texas Tech, 9-0, in the first game of the tourney and No. 10 Arizona topped Harvard, 10-0, Friday night. The Crimson moves to 3-8 all-time in NCAA action with the loss.
The Red Raiders got to Harvard starter Laura Ricciardone early, knocking the rookie out after bringing home six runs on seven hits on just one out. Cydney Allen logged the biggest hit of the inning for Texas Tech, launching a three-run double to the right-center field gap to put the score at 6-0. Rachel Brown relieved Ricciardone and got the Crimson out of the inning after seeing one more run cross to make it 7-0 after half an inning.
Brown restored order quickly, getting three quick outs in the second and striking out two batters in a one-two-three inning in the third to keep the Raiders off the scoreboard. The Crimson got something going in the second when Marika Zumbro pushed a single over the shortstop's head and Whitney Shaw reached base after getting hit by a pitch. Jane Alexander got a solid piece of a rise ball on a one-and-two count, but it was right to the third baseman, who gloved it to quell the threat.
Harvard put two runners on again in the bottom of the fourth. Kasey Lange led off with an infield single to second base and after an Allison Scott fielder's choice, Emily Henderson drew a walk with a heady at-bat. Texas Tech pitcher Kelsey Dennis made a good pitch to Harvard seven-hitter Shaw, getting her to pop up to the catcher to end the frame.
Brown continued to sit down the Red Raider hitters, putting together back-to-back one-two-three innings in the fifth and sixth to keep the deficit at seven runs for the Crimson. Fellow lefty Brittany Talley came in to pitch for Dennis in the fifth inning for Texas Tech and was workmanlike, sitting down the Crimson in order in the fifth and sixth innings. Brown recorded her fifth-straight one-two-three inning of the game in the top of the seventh, bringing the Crimson into the final frame with a seven-run hole.
Talley fanned two Harvard batters in the final inning to seal the 7-0 victory for the Raiders. The Crimson wraps up its season with a 36-16 overall record, which stands as a program record.

Will Rose, independent photographer who regularly works with Greenpeace, writes from the Esperanza...
We're in and out of internet range now so I'm not sure when this will go up on the website. As if to mark the occasion thick swirls of fog have cut us off from the recent blue crisp Arctic horizon.
The crew are subdued but in good spirits albeit a little tired after the rough Atlantic crossing, long working days and the sudden lack of awe inspiring scenery of Greenland's coastline. Sailing in towards the mountains around Nuuk after being starved of land felt like sailing into a new world, a different planet which for those who hadn't seen it could only silently gaze in amazement bereft of the ability to speak. The colours here are incredible, the evening sun washes jagged green mountains, distant glaciers, small islands and the serene blue sea with golden light. Birds swoop and effortlessly glide by the ship mirrored in mercury like silver water turning your head until they're silhouetted against the evening sun and a shimmer of a million diamond sparkles.
I photographed a native Inuit fisherman, in Nuuk, who has come out to support the Greenpeace campaign here in the Arctic. He reminded me of so many people I met with my girlfriend while working in Russia and China last year. He was speaking Danish but with strong local dialect, I understood a little of what he was saying with my limited Swedish, well the odd word. He was a calm and intelligent man stating his concerns for his livelihood that would be destroyed by the carelessness, greed and profit hungry oil companies. His eyes shining wisdom - very similar the to the nomadic people we met in the Yamal Peninsula, in North Russia. And just like Yasha, the tribe leader we stayed with in Siberia – he was in tune with his environment and increasingly worried by the changes happening to his landscape. In Yahsa's case it was the permafrost melting, the lake ecosystem collapsing and their food source disappearing. The fisherman was aware of the fine balance of nature and how easily it can be disrupted and tipped out of sync.
We arrived 120 miles west of Disko Island on Sunday night and within a few hours of arriving here a helicopter appeared out of the fog and viewed us, turned then disappeared back into the greyness. Our presence here seems to be causing great paranoia and fear. I don't understand why an oil company has the protection of the navy, marine police, special forces, helicopters and countless speedboats to protect an oil rig from a peaceful Greenpeace ship while the surrounding pristine wilderness and the global climate gets none.
I've just returned from a morning taking pictures of Cairn Energy's massive logistical operation to stop Icebergs drifting towards the two drilling vessels. Huge tugs linger by football pitch-sized blue hunks of ice ready to lasso them and drag them away. They even have ships firing huge jets of water for hours onto icebergs to make them melt and break up - a reflection of the oil industry's attitude to the Arctic.
I can't help thinking of all the people my girlfriend Kasja and I encountered when working in the Ganges Delta in India. Seeing homes that had been destroyed by cyclones, washed into the sea, women carrying concrete blocks and bolders on their head building sea walls to protect themselves – as they pointing out to sea saying "that's where my home was."
If climate change continues and the ice here continues to melt, the 4 million people who live in the Indian part of the Sunderbans where we were welcomed and greeted with hope will face the threat of rising sea levels.
Climate Change is not a secondary issue on this campaign. It's always in the forefront of our minds. We're here to bear witness to the oil industry's desperate search for the last drops of an addictive substance society needs to kick. We're a long way from home but we hope we're doing something important by challenging the oil industry and saying loud and clear that we need to finally go beyond oil.

Have Greenpeace ships pigs who are fed in the cages, cage hoes, young calves, commercial salmon, commersial heering in their freezer? Have Greenpeace ships a policy against the discarding of animal residues remaining?
In Greenland folks eat a large degree only adult animals who have lived all's there life out there in the beautiful nature. Up to 75% energy supply from hydroelectric plants in Greenland(if one takes hydropower plants under constrution now). The remaining 25 % shall be provided with excess energy from the hydropower plants utilities made into hydrogen.
See Thats GREEN stands for also!

Melting icebergs cannot raise sea levels, they are already displacing water equivalent to their volume when floating. Likewise the Arctic which is basically one gigantic iceberg. I think you are confusing the Arctic with the Antarctic which is an ice-covered land mass. Large-scale Antarctic ice melting really would raise sea levels.

Its a good job the "friendly Innuit" chose to make his living through fish and not seals eh? otherwise his livelihood would have already been destroyed.
Of course the Navy should be there to protect both the rig and the drill ship. How ironic if the distraction caused by environmentalists boarding either vessel, caused the one thing they were apparently trying to stop. Do you understand that?
Paranoia and fear?? more like a bit of light entertainment and monotony breaker! In all honesty Tiger Woods divorce has had more airtime. So has it all been worth it? All the extra resources used by the Esperanza, its crew and by default the Navy vessels. It's not the workers on either of the Stena Vessels that made the decision to explore in the Arctic. Or shall you blame them and demand that they quit their livelihoods cos that will stop all oil exploration. Go camp on Cairns doorstep with more molasses.

If only we had a green industry as enthusiastic to get the job done like these oil drilling folk. I understand green energy is to take a lot of time money and energy to start seeing any benefits from and that that oil seems to be a more reliable source of energy. However what baffles me is the governments ability to turn a head to the devastation caused by such greedy outlooks and the use and processing of such dirty energy.

Behind my house lies the wreckage of a home destroyed in the earthquake. In the yard, behind this crumpled house, down a path lined by chickens and bushes, is a bright green wooden house. After the earthquake a family lived in the yard of the crumpled house as their own home was destroyed in the quake. Due to donations to our ministry's earthquake relief fund from people around the world, Child Hope/MdL was able to build a pre-fabricated home, this green house, for this family. The mother of the home works across the street from our boys home as a cook. She sells her food on the street. Everyone in our ministry refers to her as "The Happy Cook" because she always has a gigantic smile on her face.
About two months ago "The Happy Cook's" daughter, Sophiana, approached me saying her ear was hurting. Sophiana attends the school that it is a part of our ministry. I checked out her ear and started her on a week's course of Amoxicillin. The pain continued beyond the week. She saw me in the clinic and asked for help again. I am not very knowledgeable about ears and the treatment for ears (beyond Amoxicillin) so I instructed her to go see a doctor at a nearby hospital. A week later she approached me saying it was still hurting and the doctor she saw said it looked fine. No medicine prescribed. I gave her ibuprofen and had the principal of the school, Ivens, explain to her mother how to take her to the University of Miami Hospital that was created here after the earthquake. A few days later I ran into the the principal and Sophiana on the street, looking for me. Sophiana and her mother had visited the U of M hospital, but the guards would not let her in the gate. I was annoyed for her, but not surprised. Sometimes if you don't get there early enough you won't be allowed to enter to see a doctor at their clinic and if you don't look like you're in the midst of an emergency, you won't be allowed to enter the hospital. In my mind, this was an emergency as the bone behind her ear was starting to swell and cause the ear to stick out.
Ivens asked me to take her to the hospital as, because I am white, I could have a better chance at getting her in. As much as I hate it, I knew this was true. The first time I took Sophiana there, we were told two doctors were in surgery, but all the other doctors (foreigners who staff the hospital for a few weeks at a time) had left due to the unrest from the elections. Because I was persistent, I managed to talk to a nurse who instructed us to come by early the next morning and Sophiana would see a surgeon. The next morning found those doctors absent with no plan to arrive that day. Sophiana saw another doctor who appeared to be an intern and did not get excited enough about the infection to satisfy me. She was prescribed a ten day course of Augmentin and we were referred to General Hospital to see an Ear Nose and Throat doctor. I've never been to this hospital but I'd heard stories. Antonio, who was driving us, said he would need to bring a mattress to wait if he were to go by himself. In other words, he would be sleeping there for a long time before he were to get seen. He had a little more hope if I were to go, but still thought we should find another place for her to be seen. Later that afternoon a nurse practitioner arrived with a team from Canada to stay with us for the week. He checked out Sophiana's ear and thought she should be hospitalized and started on IV antibiotics. The swelling from the ear had also spread to her eye. Her ear infection had turned into an infection called mastoiditis, where the bone behind and above the ear becomes infected. The worry is that it can spread to the brain and cause meningitis.
The pictures are a bit grainy, but you can see the swelling (the shiny part) above her ear. Her eye was swollen shut for a day before beginning aggressive antibiotic therapy.
We checked out a few other hospitals that afternoon who refused to treat her and each recommended General Hospital. That night I sent out a few emails to missionaries here and to a doctor in the states who often volunteers her time in Haiti with other missionary friends of mine. This doctor, Jen Halverson, kindly called me that night and we discussed Sophiana's case. She passed on the girl's info to another expat doctor working at General Hospital and then we met her the next day. An ENT was also supposedly working there, but of course he was not there that day. The expat doctor, although specializing in TB, was very knowledgeable about how to treat the infection and suggested a course of antibiotics that I actually already had in stock at our clinic. I gave Sophiana five days of intramuscular injections of Ceftriaxone as well as oral Augmentin. I include these details in case medical people read this and take an interest in helping Sophiana.
At General Hospital we were referred to an ENT in the same area and we actually saw him later that day. He confirmed her diagnosis, took it very seriously, and agreed on the antibiotic regimen. After 5 days of Ceftriaxone IM, it was discontinued and she was started on Sulfacetamide ear drops and continued on the Augmentin. Fluid drained from behind the ear early last week, relieving much of the pressure and pain. This week I took Sophiana to another ENT recommended by Dr. Halverson for a second opinion. He recommended changing the ear drops to Ofloxacin and continuing the Augmentin for another five days. He has ordered a CT scan and recommends having a mastoidectomy performed, a surgical procedure where the infected portion of the mastoid is cleaned out.
This blog post has two goals. One, to share what healthcare in Haiti is like and how difficult it can be to navigate. Two, to share Sophiana's medical and financial needs and ask for your help in meeting them. The cost of the CT scan is $275 US dollars. Each doctor's appointment is $34 US dollars. The cost of the surgery is approximately $12000 HD (I'm waiting to hear back from the doctor about the exact amount), which equals $1,500 US dollars. Added together, this amounts to $1,877 USD (I am presuming that she will need at least three more doctor's visits, if not more). We are in need of people who will consider contributing to the cost of the CT scan and to the cost of the surgery. With most Haitians earning less than $1 per day, this is obviously not something Sophiana's family can pay for. Without the surgery, she may not regain her hearing in the affected ear and the infection will most likely spread to her brain. Please prayerfully consider how you may help her. If you are interested, you may donate here. Please include a note that you are donating specifically to Sophiana's medical fund, as otherwise the money will be allocated elsewhere. All donations are tax deductible.
Thank you for reading and for your prayers on behalf of Sophiana. May your New Year be blessed!

Press Release
State Legislation & Policy
NCLR and EQCA Say Anti-LGBT Groups Are "Grasping at Straws" with Lawsuits Challenging Law Protecting LGBT Youth From Psychological Abuse
(San Francisco, CA, October 4, 2012)—Today, two anti-LGBT groups, the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality and Liberty Counsel, filed a second federal challenge to the new law signed Saturday by California Governor Jerry Brown that will protect lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender young people in the state from dangerous and potentially deadly psychological abuse. Senate Bill 1172 was authored by Senator Ted Lieu, co-sponsored by the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR), Equality California, Gaylesta, Courage Campaign, Lambda Legal, and Mental Health America of Northern California, and supported by dozens of organizations.
The law—which goes into effect on January 1, 2013—prohibits state-licensed therapists who claim to be able to change their clients' sexual orientation or gender expression from using dangerous practices known to lead to extreme depression and suicide. With Governor Brown's signature, California became the first state in the country to prevent mental health professionals from subjecting youth to these dangerous practices, which have been rejected by every mainstream mental health association as ineffective and dangerous.
One of the plaintiffs in the case filed today is Joseph Nicolosi, a California-based advocate of psychological practices that attempt to change sexual orientation. Ryan Kendall, a victim of these abusive practices and former patient of Nicolosi's, testified about his experiences during the Proposition 8 trial in 2010 and shared them again this summer with the California Assembly's Business, Professions and Consumer Protection Committee: "As a young teen, the anti-gay practice of so-called conversion therapy destroyed my life and tore apart my family. In order to stop the therapy that misled my parents into believing that I could somehow be made straight, I was forced to run away from home, surrender myself to the local department of human services, and legally separate myself from my family. At the age of 16, I had lost everything. My family and my faith had rejected me, and the damaging messages of conversion therapy, coupled with this rejection, drove me to the brink of suicide."
"These extreme anti-LGBT groups are grasping at straws with these lawsuits," NCLR Executive Director Kate Kendell. "Every mainstream medical and mental health association in the country has warned that these practices are ineffective and dangerous. The state has the right and obligation to protect young people from this abuse, which can lead to depression, substance abuse, self-harm, and even suicide. This law is no different from a thousand others that protect kids, from prohibiting underage smoking and drinking to requiring parents to use car seats. NCLR will commit all the energy and resources necessary to defend this vital and life-saving law."
Added David Codell, Equality California Board Member and pro bono counsel: "The latest lawsuit seeking to prevent Senate Bill 1172 from going into effect is misguided and meritless, just like the similar lawsuit filed earlier this week. Senate Bill 1172 is groundbreaking in addressing the particular harms to minors posed by dangerous practices by licensed health care providers intended to change a child's sexual orientation or gender expression. Despite the advances that Senate Bill 1172 represents, however, the new law fits squarely within a well-established set of laws designed to protect minors from harmful practices by licensed professionals. Equality California is committed to educating the public and the courts about the new law, its validity, and its benefits to California youth and families."

A professional refreshing change

My son Harry has been attending Esprit Martial arts for the last 5 months. After more than a year at a different school I found Esprit a refreshing change. The classes are a good size with enough teachers on hand to ensure that each child gets the right amount attention. This means that they are consistently developing strong and effective techniques. Harry has responded so well to the classes and was delighted to recently achieve his yellow belt. Beyond the Karate however the children are learning discipline and more effective listening skills which are incredibly valuable to them on so many levels. I'm delighted with his progress.
A Life Changing Experience
01-03-2016 by Melinda
My son is loving learning Jiu Jitsu with John, it is a fun, supportive atmosphere that teaches focus, strength along with self-defence. One of the first things that he was taught was how to fall safely, protecting the head. This skill came in handy, when he fell off a wall he was climbing onto a hard concrete surface. He tucked in his head, as John had taught him avoiding, what could have been, a serious head injury and walked away with only a few grazes and bruises. I would recommend Esprit Martial Arts to any one!

Qside Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit, cooperative financial institution owned and controlled by its members – the people who use its products and services. Like all other credit unions, Qside is based on the concept of "people helping people".
Membership begins when you open a basic savings account. Both membership and the basic savings account are completely free as long as you maintain a minimum balance of $25. Learn how to join and open a basic savings account here.
Unlike banks, we return all profits to members in the form of higher dividends on savings, lower interest rates on loans, lower fees and expanded services. Members have a say in how the credit union is managed and can vote and participate in annual meetings, help elect the Board of Directors and serve as volunteers.
Qside was originally chartered as the Waterside Federal Credit Union in 1940 by a group of employees from Con Edison's Waterside Power Plant. In February 2003, we moved our facility to Flushing, Queens and adopted our current name, "Qside Federal Credit Union". We chose 'Q' to reflect our expansion into the Queens community and beyond, and 'side' to maintain the connection with our past. In August 2013, our loyal membership allowed us to purchase a new building to relocate our headquarters and main branch in Queens Village, NY, representing an exciting growth stage for Qside FCU.
Today, Qside has more than $50 million in assets and serves over 9,000 members with a field of membership that includes people who live and work in our local Queens community as well as individual employee groups. As we have grown, so has our commitment to our members-first, not-for-profit.

Swimming Pool Blog

Pool Heater Repair: Rear Header Replacement
I got an email from a pool owner in Texas who found himself in need of a heater repair due to a rare winter freeze recently. When things thawed out, Gary's Raypak RP2100 pool heater was leaking a good amount of water on the left side. I told him right away, "Heater header, it's like a manifold on the end of your heat exchanger. You need a new one. Gaskets, too."
After a hefty estimate on replacing a cracked pool heater header from his local pool service company, Gary decides to give this pool heater repair a try. Gary's Raypak heater, common on US pools, is similar to gas pool heaters made by Jandy or Laars, and the repair tips here could be used on most pool heater repairs.
Heater headers are a cap on the end of the heat exchanger, which is a set of copper finned tubes that the pool water gets pumped through. The tubes absorb the heat of the flames below, and the return header or manifold, as it's sometimes called, returns the water out of the exhanger and on to your pool.
The return header on this older model Raypak is made of Cast Iron. Brass heater headers are also available as an option, but are not as common. Most modern heaters now have migrated to the use of thermoplastic headers; Raypak is now using a plastic known as Capron. Whether your return header is plastic, brass or iron, they all bolt on to the heat exchanger with 6 or more nuts screwed onto sturdy bolts.
To repair your pool heater, and replace the return header:
1. Remove side access panel. There is no need to remove the top on the Raypak. Older Laars heaters however, do require that you also remove the heater top in addition to the side panel.
2. Remove the high limit switch (shown with wires in the picture at right), and the pressure switch siphon loop tube. Use care not to damage the wires or the soft brass fittings.
3. Remove the nuts from the throughbolts. Don't lose 'em!
4. Use a heavy, flathead screwdriver to pry the 10lb. return header from the heat exchanger.
5. Use a smaller, sharp flathead to pry off the old, round gaskets from around the tubes.
6. Scrape any rust from the mounting plate, and install new gaskets.
7. Bolt on the new return header, in a criss-cross pattern. Torque tightly.
8. Reconnect hi-limit switch and siphon loop tube.
9. Reinstall side panel.
Cast Iron and Plastic pool heater headers take very little time to crack. The expansion of ice can be a powerful force. I hope that you have not also experienced the need for this pool heater repair, but if you have, I sincerely hope that this post has helped to take some of the guesswork out of how to replace your own cracked return header on your pool heater. Simple hand tools are all that is needed. That is, besides a new pool heater return header. And Gaskets, too.

Multitasking As We Age: Grantee Adam Gazzaley Explores Working Memory BACK
AFAR grantee Adam Gazzaley, MD, PhD, is featured by several major publications, including the New York Times and TIME, for his recent study on the declining ability to multitask as we age. Dr. Gazzaley and his colleagues published their findings in the April 2011 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Science USA. The study, designed to examine differences in working memory, compared a test group of younger adults with a group of older people. Researchers asked participants to look at an image and identify its match after a brief pause. In a second trial, a distraction (a picture of a face) was added in the middle of the test. While both groups performed quite well on the initial test, the results of the experiment showed that older adults had a significantly harder time completing the task when they were interrupted. Using MRI scans, Dr. Gazzaley and his team believe they have found the reason for this disparity: the brains of older adults took much longer to switch between the different "networks" involved in studying the two images. Dr. Gazzaley believes that these results could have serious implications in modern society, where technology has made multitasking and interruptions basic parts of life. However, he also hopes that further research could lead to the development of techniques for both improving and preserving working memory, thus allowing older adults to keep up in a fast-paced work environment.
Dr. Adam Gazzaley is the founder of the Neuroscience Imaging Center at the University of California, San Francisco, and an associate professor of Neurology, Physiology and Psychiatry. He is a recipient of the 2005 Pfizer/AFAR Innovations in Aging Award and a 2002 Glenn/AFAR Postdoctoral Award.

AutoCodesOBDII Code ListB0025 CADILLAC
B0025 CADILLAC - Right Roof Rail Air Bag
Possible causes
- Faulty Right Roof Rail Air Bag
- Right Roof Rail Air Bag harness is open or shorted
- Right Roof Rail Air Bag circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
Possible symptoms
- Air Bag Warning Light ON
B0025 Cadillac DescriptionDuring a side or frontal crash of sufficient force the inflatable restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) will allow current to flow through the deployment loop in order to deploy the right roof rail air bag. The SDM performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity and for shorts to ground or voltage. A shorting bar is used within the right roof rail air bag connector which will short together both high and low circuits when the connector is disconnected. This will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag during servicing.
Precautions for SRS "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" Service
- Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, side air curtain modules or seat belts.
- Never disassemble or tamper with safety belt buckle/retractor pretensioners, adaptive load limiting retractors, safety belt inflators, or probe the electrical connectors.
- Do not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
- Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes. For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes have passed.

Aboriginal Artists Also Featured in WAG's 100 Masters
It's not just Rembrandt and Van Gogh. The Winnipeg Art Gallery's 100 Masters: Only in Canada exhibition is bringing five centuries of the world's greatest art to Winnipeg, including stunning examples of Indigenous works from coast to coast to coast.
"It's absolutely right 100 Masters should have Bill Reid's Wasgo and Alex Janvier's Lubicon alongside Rodin's The Kiss and Warhol's Mao," says Stephen Borys, WAG CEO & Executive Director, who curated the exhibition. "When I made my requests for one hundred masterpieces from galleries across Canada, choosing works that highlight this country's stellar Aboriginal artists was a given. Their level of craft, their quality of expression and their cultural significance undeniably make these artists masters."
100 Masters: Only in Canada, which runs May 11 to August 18, is the final exhibition in the WAG's centennial year. Aboriginal artists represented in the show are Norval Morriseau (Anishinaabe), Bearman; Marion Tuu'laq (Inuit), 30 Faces; Jane Ash Poitras (Cree), From Riel to Peltier; Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun (Coast Salish), Shaman Dancing in Sunset; Robert Davidson (Haida), Killer Whale Transforming into a Thunderbird; and Chief Nakaṕankam, Mungo Martin, (Kwakwaka'wakw (Kwagu'ł), Cannibal Birds mask.
On Saturday July 13 at 2pm, curator, art historian and educator Jaimie Isaac will be giving an illustrated talk focusing on the exhibition's Aboriginal artists. A member of Sagkeeng First Nation, Jamie Isaac holds a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and an Arts and Cultural Management Certificate from the University of Winnipeg and worked as the visual arts coordinator for the inaugural Truth and Reconciliation Commission's national event in Winnipeg.

This is the first evaluation conducted on WFP's role and performance as a cluster lead. The evaluation assessed the effectiveness, efficiency, utilization, results and satisfaction of the Logistics Cluster's products, services and activities at global and country levels. Overall the evaluation found that under WFP's effective leadership the cluster strengthened partnerships and increased coordination in humanitarian logistics. WFP inputs of skilled staff, funding, back office systems and leadership enabled the cluster to undertake the expected global and country activities. At country level, the cluster's operations were found to be relevant, effective and provided value to participating organizations. While the ability of the cluster to learn and apply lessons was hindered by the lack of systematic approaches, the cluster demonstrated improvement over time. WFP's financial, reporting and tracking systems did not enable the level of transparency partners required.
The recommendations seek to engage the Global Logistics Cluster, its partners and WFP management in designing a 3-year strategic plan; strengthening financial and reporting systems; enhancing the organizational structure and decision-making; improving cluster human resource management; extending partnership outreach; and engaging in global policy and inter-cluster coordination.

The last three decades have seen technological innovation ramp up at an unprecedented rate. Nevertheless, not all developments are created equal. Some will succeed, some will inevitably fail, and some – infuriatingly – will show promise only to have it amount to nought. The trick is working out which are which, and making sure you don't bet too heavily on any single solution before it's sufficiently mature to warrant the vote of confidence.
The problem with technology trends is that it can be hard to tell which are passing fads and which are actually likely to change the way you do work (or the spaces in which you do it). That lack of certainty makes investing heavily in new technology before its proven itself something of a gamble. But the substantial competitive advantage that can be gleaned from making good technology calls early, means it's a gamble many are still prepared to take.
These are some of the biggest trends in technology today, along with a look at whether or not they're likely to fade from view or become business staples in years to come.
Internet of things (IoT)
There's a reason everyone's talking about IoT – it's destined to be one of the trends that stick. In layman's terms, it refers to internet-connected devices, which covers everything from smarthome tech like video cameras and motion detectors to connected cars, coffee machines, refrigerators or even industrial equipment. As sensors get cheaper, low-energy Bluetooth gets more efficient and fibre internet becomes ubiquitous, connected devices are only going to become more prolific. Thankfully, though, they're also going to be become far more affordable.
Whether you're looking to minimise costs in your office by reducing utility consumption, find out which areas are actually getting used and when, check air quality or simply work out which desks are actually getting used every day and which aren't, IoT promises to improve efficiencies while reducing overheads.
Voice recognition
Closely tied to IoT is voice recognition, and the digital personal assistants like Apple's Siri, Microsoft's Cortana and Amazon's Alexa. Though it might take us a while to get accustomed to talking to our gadgets – especially when other people are in earshot – consider how normal it is now for someone to take a mobile phone call in a Post Office queue, where two decades ago this was socially taboo. Voice control makes the most sense for IoT devices, because eventually they're likely to be all around us, and intuitive voice commands are far more efficient than dedicated apps.
Virtual reality (VR)
Though the gaming sector is the one most likely to showcase the possibilities of VR at the outset, its potential applications in other industries are myriad. From training simulations and travel destinations teasers to corporate real estate visualisation and educational apps, VR isn't going away anytime soon. YouTube, Facebook and Google are all investing heavily in VR, which should be endorsement enough for most people.
The challenge for companies looking to use it successfully is finding uses for it that actually harness the technology to create something that couldn't be done any other way, rather than a rehashing of an existing solution. Which means unless your business has an obvious use case for it, it's probably best leaving VR to those who need it.
Augmented reality (AR)
AR often gets mentioned in the same breath as VR, but is arguably far more exciting and likely to create even more compelling solutions. Instead of making the user feel like they're in an alternate reality like VR, AR adds images, information or other content to our existing reality. The most well-known instance of AR today is Pokémon Go, the mobile game that's turned gaming company Nintendo's fortunes around.
Pokémon Go, despite its popularity, remains niche in virtue of being a game. Microsoft's forthcoming Hololens, meanwhile, looks set to turn AR from a curiosity into a useful business tool, and could change industries like healthcare, education, design and – of course – gaming and entertainment, too. But, like VR, the truly useful business cases for AR remain to be seen.
Wearable tech
A few years old now, wearable tech doesn't show any signs of dwindling in popularity. Though the Apple Watch and various Android Wear smartwatches have yet to prove themselves indispensable, fitness trackers and sports watches from the likes of Fitbit, Jawbone, TomTom, Garmin and Suunto continue to win new fans by the day.
With companies like Discovery Vitality rewarding users for sharing their fitness tracking data, wearables are set to become ever more commonplace. For employers, they could also make it possible to incentivise staff to stay healthy – reducing sick leave and lost productivity in the process.
Whatever the tech, wherever possible it usually pays to hold off a generation or two before committing. Better to err on the side of caution and only implement those solutions that have demonstrable, tangible value, than to spend heavily on gear that might be outdated in a year and that staff may not actually take to. As the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) movement has demonstrated, you may not even have to buy the tech your staff want to use, but what you will need to do is be able to support it once they've got it.
