Reader appreciates Business Journal re-design
I meant to send you a note last week congratulating you on the new look for the Grand Rapids Business Journal. Before I could get it out the door, the second one arrived in my mailbox, so I'm sending a quick e-mail before the third issue shows up.
I think the new size, the graphics, color and the layout are very nice. It makes the publication appear more contemporary and professional. I also like the way you're addressing the publication much better. Too often the mailing label was right where I didn't want it to be. Now the masthead is clean and unencumbered.
So, I just wanted to let you know that I noticed and I'm happy to see you are continuing to invest in the publication to make it a must read in our business community.

I believe that I am living in a hybrid space. Merely sitting in my room, having a somewhat arbitary and trivial conversation with a friend while simultaneously texting my sister and emailing my mum (all who are living in Australia), while trying to find the location of a rock concert on my phone's GPS… all four tasks (girls are extremely good at multi-tasking!) illustrate that virtual life and real life have become one and it is no longer possible to distinguish or separate the two.
I am living in a hybrid space as I am not restricted to the dimensions of space and time, by simply sitting in my room I am able to traverse space with skype, a text message or a phone call to the (literally) other side of the world. Adrian de Souza e Silva explores the idea of how ''the use of mobile technologies as connection interfaces blurs the traditional borders between physical and digital spaces'' (p. 261).
Silva continues by stating that interfaces (i.e. GPS on a mobile phone) are communication mediators representing, and may I add communicating, information between two parts, i.e. between a human and a computer. Silva introduces the concept of the 'social interface' which is an interface which mediates between two or more users. This 'social interface', therefore, reinvents communication relationships and the space in which the communication takes place. I no longer have to google directions from my home computer before I leave the house in order to find that rock concert, I can now simply roam the streets while using my GPS to navigate my way through the city in order to get to the gig. The city space is therefore 'changed'through the use of this interface (the GPS). The city no longer looks like a maze of consumeristic streets, but rather an organized and structured set of streets and directions to my intended destination.

Cherries are delicious. Whether for garnishing a drink or popping in your mouth, a cherry is sweet, tart fruit with many uses. Picking cherries isn't hard! You just need to examine them closely for defects, bad coloring, and firmness. Once you've picked your cherries, you need to choose a proper way to store them.
Picking Cherries
1Choose where you will pick them. You need to determine the location you will get your cherries from. Cherry orchards generally have the freshest cherries. You can also try the local farmer's market. If it's not the season, then you will not be able to obtain cherries in this manner. In this situation, you should go to your local grocery store. They will generally have cherries in stock.
- If you do end up going to a cherry orchard, you should pick cherries form the trees. Doing this is simple, just grasp the cherry with your forefinger and thumb, and gently pull it off of the tree.[1] Then, place it in a container.
2Check the skin. The quality of the skin usually indicates the freshness of a cherry. Look for cherries that have firm and glossy skin. Gaze at each batch to make sure there are no blemishes on the fruit. Feel them to see how soft they are. They should feel firm to the touch.[2]
- Avoid cherries that are too soft. These cherries are generally not fresh. Also, if cherries have wrinkles close to the stem, then they are generally not as fresh as they could be.
- This can be dependent on cherry type as well. For example, Rainier cherries are not as firm as other cherries. Take this into account when you are checking cherries out.
3Look at stems. First off, you should see if the stems are still connected to the cherries. Generally cherries with stems attached are fresher than cherries without stems. If the cherries you are looking at do have stems, check their color. Bright green stems signal cherry health and freshness.[3]
4Examine the color. You won't necessarily be looking for a particular type of red. What you are trying to determine is the overall concentration of red. Darker cherries will be fresher than light-colored cherries.
Preserving Cherries
1Avoid sunshine. Unless you are going to dry them, your cherries should be placed in a dark, cool place. Cherries should at no point be placed in an area where they will be exposed to a large amount of sunlight. This exposure will shrink and wrinkle them which will sap their flavor.
2Keep them cold. Cherries stay fresh in cold temperatures. Only keep your cherries at room temperature for a very short time. To keep your cherries fresh, you should refrigerate them. You just need to put the cherries in a resealable plastic bag, and then place the bag in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for 3–5 days, or even up to two weeks.
- If you keep cherries at room temperature, then you should be prepared to eat them immediately. For the cherries will only be good for up to 2 days. Make sure to wash and dry all cherries before eating.
3Separate them. Cherries will pick up flavors from other items in your fridge. Therefore, if you don't want your cherries to taste like your stew or garlic, then you need to put them in a space that doesn't contain any fragrant items.
- To help avoid this, make sure that you seal your cherries in containers or plastic bags. This will make it harder for the cherries to be permeated by smelly items in your fridge.
4Freeze cherries. By freezing cherries, you will make sure that they keep their freshness and flavor. You should choose whether you want to pit them or not. You don't need to pit them, but some prefer to do this. After you make this decision, then you just need to get your materials ready. Pull out a baking sheet, line the cherries in one layer then put them in the freezer. Wait for an hour, take them out and drop them in a couple of bags. You should make sure they are completely firm before you do this.
- When you put them in bags, make sure to squeeze as much air out as possible to avoid freezer burn. Frozen cherries can be kept for up to a year.[4]
Drying Cherries
1Preheat your oven. You should set the heat on your oven at 165°F(74°C). As you are preparing your cherries to be dried, the oven will be heating up. This should take about an hour.
2Clean your cherries. Wash the cherries that you have thoroughly. You are going to want to use room temperature water to clean them. After you clean the cherries thoroughly, you should dry them with paper towels.[5]
3Arrange the cherries. You should then place them on a baking sheet. Be sure to leave a bit of space between the cherries. They should be about half an inch apart from each other.
4Put the cherries in the oven. Decrease your oven's heat to 135°F(57°C). Now, you should place the cherries in the oven. Give the cherries six hours to heat up. They will look like raisins when they are done. You should then place them in containers and put them in the freezer.[6]
- You can also dry the cherries in the sun. Simply wash, pit, and dry them first, then place them on trays. Now leave them in a place where there is plenty of sun for two to five days. You may want to toss them in the oven for about thirty minutes afterwards to get rid of any bacteria.[7]
Community Q&A
QuestionIf cherries are so red that they are almost black does this mean they are ripe?Community AnswerYes, I found out the hard way and lost 70% of my first harvest. See the tip above in reference to the stem. When the stems are still green but starting to turn a shade, its likely time to pick.
QuestionDo cherries stay fresher if I leave the stems on?Community AnswerAll of the pictures show storing the cherries with their stems on, so I recommend leaving the stems on until consumption.
QuestionI was told to only wash the cherries you plan to eat immediately as they lose their nutritional value, is this true or false?Community AnswerThat is false. You can wash them anytime before the expiration date. You can wash all of them and put it back in the refrigerator so the next time you want cherries you can just eat them.
QuestionHow can I store cherries without a refrigerator for a week?Community AnswerUnrefrigerated cherries will last 3-4 days. You could try keeping them in a cooler with ice for a few extra days.
QuestionI'm assuming you wash the cherries before you put them on a tray and into the freezer?Community AnswerYes. Not doing so could lead to sickness.
QuestionCan I vacuum pack fresh raw cherries with the stalks on and store them in the fridge to make them last longer?Community AnswerYes. Removing air helps them last longer, refrigerated or frozen.
How do I store packaged dried cherries?
- If harvesting cherries from the tree, look for mahogany color in the cherries. Test cherry ripeness by taste; pick a cherry straight off the tree and see if it is sweet enough. Those that are will have the same hue and appearance as the one that you have enjoyed eating. After a time, you will know by sight which cherries are ripe and ready to harvest.

Article SummaryX
To select the perfect cherries, look for fruit with firm, glossy skin and bright green stems. In addition, examine the color, since darker cherries will generally be fresher than light cherries. If you're planning to eat the cherries within about 3-5 days, keep them in the refrigerator. However, you should keep the cherries sealed in an airtight container or plastic bags, since cherries can absorb odors from other food in the fridge. To keep your cherries fresh for up to a year, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Keep reading to learn how to dry cherries!

THE UNITED States has a proud tradition of supplying food aid to hungry people around the world, whether their plight is due to chronic poverty or sudden natural disaster. Still, food aid was never a purely altruistic exercise. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower kicked off the program that would become known as Food for Peace by saying that it would "lay the basis for a permanent expansion of our exports of agricultural products with lasting benefits to ourselves and peoples of other lands." In the six decades since, global food aid has generated sales for U.S. farmers, business for U.S.-flagged cargo vessels and jobs for U.S. seamen.
In this sense, the United States is no different from many countries that use foreign assistance to bolster domestic industries. But, over time, U.S. food aid has tilted too far in that direction, and too many dollars ostensibly devoted to helping the poor overseas are instead subsidizing special interests in this country.
Fortunately, President Obama's budget for fiscal 2014 includes a plan to modernize and reform the $1.5 billion U.S. food aid program. Mr. Obama would end "monetization," the inefficient practice whereby the federal government buys commodities from U.S. farmers and ships them abroad to governments and nongovernmental organizations, which sell them in the local market and use the proceeds for development projects.
Obviously, it would be a lot more cost-effective if the United States simply spent the cash directly on development, rather than diverting resources to food purchases and shipping — which, by law, must involve relatively expensive U.S.-flagged vessels. The Government Accountability Office found that monetization reduces the amount of money available to development by an average of about 25 cents per dollar.
Furthermore, "monetized" U.S. food amounts to subsidized competition for farmers in needy areas. In some cases, it would make more sense for the United States to buy food closer to where it's needed, thus saving shipping time and expense and, potentially, stimulating agricultural investment in the developing world. The Obama proposal would facilitate change in this regard as well, allowing U.S. aid agencies to buy up to 45 percent of relief commodities from non-U.S. sources.
Mr. Obama's sensible suggestions have bipartisan support in Congress, which is not surprising, since his Republican predecessor, President George W. Bush, embraced similar ideas. In a joint news release, Reps. Edward R. Royce (R-Calif.) and Eliot L. Engel (D-N.Y.), the chairman and ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, pronounced themselves "encouraged" by Mr. Obama's proposal.
Alas, those who benefit from the status quo are pushing back. Merchant-marine unions warn that less work for U.S. vessels will atrophy sealift capability that soldiers need in wartime — even though most U.S. troops are coming home from Afghanistan. Twenty-one senators from farm and coastal states — including Maryland's Barbara A. Mikulski (D) — argued in a letter to the White House that the plan could undermine agriculture, "one of the few U.S. business sectors to produce a trade surplus." But U.S. farmers are already heavily subsidized and prospering. They need less federal support, not more.
The people who have a legitimate claim on the American taxpayer's aid are the hungry millions overseas. Mr. Obama is right to want to supply it as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

If you're like me, you write a lot of posts for sites other than your own and want to be able to share those posts with your readers. Figuring out how to do this with particular systems might pose a specific challenge, especially if those networks only allow you to import one RSS feed. There may also be times where you want to only share writing by you, and if you have a lot of guest bloggers on your site as well as guest posts on other sites, having a full RSS feed for your blog won't do.
Creating a Custom RSS Feed
The solution to this would be having an RSS feed with only your content in it from each of the sources you write for. Of course, that is a challenge in of itself. When I came to the realization that I wanted this type of an RSS feed, I thought "Super, I'll use Yahoo Pipes." That didn't pan out so well, however, as some of the feeds I wanted to use didn't work with their system. If I ever do get it to work, or they fix the issues I've been having in the upcoming 2.0 version, I'll add the details here or create a new post.
In the meantime, I went for it the old fashioned way – by creating an XML file from scratch. Ok, not from scratch, but using the base elements from another RSS feed.
I created it using Notepad ++, a free text editor for Windows that can save code in PHP, XML, and other formats without any of the unusual characters that can slip into coding and make it unusable on a website. I'm sure there is something similar for Mac and other platforms, but I'll leave that to my commenters to share those with you as I'm a PC gal.
Here is a portion of my custom RSS feed looks with two posts in it.

Facebook Likes are a powerful way to get website visitors to socially engage with your brand. There are two types of likes you can solicit with Facebook's developer code - likes for website pages and likes for your fan page. The best part is users can like both of these directly on your website without having to go anywhere else! Continue reading at http://blog.kissmetrics.com/get-more-facebook-likes/.
<title>Want Major Media Exposure for Your Business?</title>
<pubDate>Tue, 21 Jun 2011 08:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
<dc:creator>Kristi Hines</dc:creator>
<category><![CDATA[Social Media]]></category>
<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.futuresimple.com/blog/?p=1022</guid>
If you have read articles on major media outlets like New York Times, CNN, ABC News, and other similar sources, you have probably wondered what it would take to get your name or business mentioned as an authority on a particular topic. And now, you can have that chance. HARO, which stands for Help a Reporter Out, is a site that connects reporters from major publications and media outlets with industry experts. How simple is it to start getting queries from reporters? It is as simple as these three steps. Continue reading at http://www.futuresimple.com/blog/want-major-media-exposure-for-your-business/.
The following are breakdowns of what portions you would need to change for your custom feed.
The Channel Information
The channel begins with the <channel> tag and includes the following information.
- Title – this is your custom RSS feed's title that show up if someone subscribes directly to it.
- Atom Link – this is the direct link to your XML once it is uploaded to your server.
- Link – this is the link to the website you have uploaded it to.
- Description – this is a short description of the content of your custom feed.
- Last Build Date – this is to be updated when you update new items to your custom feed.
The Post Information
Your posts are going to be enclosed in <item> </item> tags and contain the following elements.
- Title – this is your post title.
- Link – this is the direct link to the post.
- Comments – this is the link to the comments for the post.
- Pubdate – this is when the post was published. You don't have to be exact with this – I usually just change the day of the week, month, and date as I rarely have more than one new post go live during the day. Your newest posts should be at the top and oldest at the bottom.
- DC Creator – this is the author field and should be your name.
- Category – this is the category of your post.
- Guid – this is the permalink to your post. Generally you can find this by going to your post on the site (assuming they use WordPress or a similar CMS) and finding the <link rel='shortlink' href='http://domain.com/?p=4461′ />. Otherwise, you can go to the blog's RSS feed, view the source, and find the <guid>. Worst case scenario, you can you just put the same link as you put in the link portion. Using the shortlink should ensure that if the title or URL change, your feed will still be able to find it.
- Description – this is the description for your post. I tend to just use the first paragraph or a short paragraph as the goal is to get people to go to the main site to read the content. Creating the full feed can be time consuming.
Saving and Uploading
Before you save your custom feed, be sure it is set to use UTF-8 encoding. This is how that will look in Notepad ++.
I saved my file as freelancewriting.xml.
The next part may be different for some of you if the only domain you have is your blog.
I uploaded my custom feed to my Freelance Writing Portfolio domain since it does not have an active blog feed to compete with. As a matter of fact, since that site doesn't have a blog but is running on WordPress, I burned the feed to Feedburner and changed it to point to this feed as the site's primary feed by changing the following code in the site's header.php tempate:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title=" RSS Feed" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/khfreelance" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title=" Atom Feed" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/khfreelance" />
This way, if someone should want to subscribe to my guest posts, they can.
If you don't have another domain, I would suggest placing it in a folder on your root domain not named feed. Maybe use folders like myguestposts or mywriting, assuming those aren't categories on your blog either. Also, be sure your file name does not include the word feed (and especially not feed.xml) as that and or a folder named feed might compete with your main blog's feed. You can still get to it and burn it to Feedburner using the direct URL such as http://yourdomain.com/myguestposts/guestposts.xml.
The Custom Feed Results
Once your feed is complete, you can subscribe to it in Google Reader or another feed reader to see the results. Mine looks like this:
I'm still working on the spacing for the paragraphs, but for the most part, it gets the job done. Plus, since I use the PostRank Chrome Extension for Google Reader, I can get a quick look at how my guest posts are doing in the social engagement area.
Troubleshooting Your Feed
If you have any issues with your feed, try out W3C Feed Validation. It will usually be able to spot the problem and give you a link for more information on how to correct it. My feed doesn't validate perfectly, but it still works everywhere I need it to so far.
Where I Use My Custom Feed
Since I just created this little beauty last week, I haven't fully taken advantage of it, but I have started using it in the following places.
On LinkedIn
The WordPress app is a great way to display your latest posts, or in this case, my latest guest posts.
Just one of the many reasons I think LinkedIn is a great social network for bloggers!
On CommentLuv Blogs
When I comment on CommentLuv blogs, I can use http://kristihines.com/ as my URL and it will pull the latest posts from that custom feed into the CommentLuv dropdown. You can also just use the direct link to your custom RSS in the URL field and just switch it before you hit the submit button to your blog link to get your name linked to your blog and your CommentLuv link to your latest guest post (one of many tricks shared in the The Ultimate Guide to Blog Post Promotion).
On Triberr
Are you on Triberr? Assuming that you aren't going to bombard your tribe members with more than one post a day, you could add your custom feed link in addition to your blog link in your Account > Settings > RSS Feeds. Since my guest posts are in line with my main blog posts, they fit well with the same audience as my tribe's following.
On Your Blog
Want to display your guest posts in a page on your blog? You can use the RSSImport plugin for WordPress (or widgets that import an RSS feed) and add it to your page using the shortcode [RSSImport display="5″ feedurl="http://yourdomain.com/myguestposts/guestposts.xml"].
You can see how I used this on my Archives page under Latest Guest Posts.
Anywhere That Accepts RSS Feeds
Again, the above are only a few of many, many options. Where ever you can add an RSS feed, from Twitterfeed to social profiles, you can add this custom feed to display your writing from multiple sites! I have mine just to include my guest posts, but you could also include your own posts, or just your favorite posts from your own blog in the mix as a showcase of your top writing!
Your Use of RSS Feeds
Know of a simpler way to get the job done? Do you already utilize a custom RSS feed? Please share your thoughts and strategies in the comments!

In the meantime, I have other big new, which may help you forgive me for being so distant...during my busy, hectic summer, I somehow managed to sneak in an 'I do'! That's right, Jonathan and I tied the knot! And we did it super cheap, very eco-friendly, with lots of help from our family and friends. The big event took place in our back yard - we did the food ourselves, but as Jonathan is part-owner of a very successful restaurant, his mad-skills in the kitchen didn't make this seem as much of a stretch. We rented the cheapest (and most colourful) tent we could find, borrowed picnic tables from all our friends, shook out the white linens and presto! It was an event to be remembered. Everyone (including us) had a great time, and I couldn't be more excited (and proud) to share it with all of you too! Here are a few highlights...p.s. another way we saved money was by asking my kid brother to take the pictures. As a result, there's a real homegrown quality to these shots.

How does an Optical Cable work and how do I even know if it's working?
Optical cables are made up of a thin mirrored glass tube (often called Glass Fibre Cables)
The signal is converted from a digital signal to light and is then reflected down the tube (see below diagram).
Optical cables can temporarily fail or be permanently damaged if tightly bent. A tight bend in the cable will prevent the
light from travelling through the cable.
These cables generally have an effective range of up to 6m (20ft) any longer and the signal will start to degrade. In order
to allow longer cabling a booster or a repeater will be required.
To see whether or not a cable is working connect it to the unit that will be sending the signal (i.e. the TV) and point the
opposite end towards a surface. A faint red dot should be visible if all is working.

Cooking started to trend as a team building event around ten years ago and is now a popular choice in various forms; creating a three-course meal, Chinese cooking and Sushi Making being just a selection. Feeding your tribe and breaking bread together is one of man's oldest bonding rituals, so it makes a lot of sense.
Many venues have kitchens that we can use and this makes for a better event. If you have not yet chosen a venue then we can tell you where the nearest venue is to you, or your target location. Alternatively, we can bring a mobile kitchen to any venue. Some styles, for example Sushi, require less equipment and are easier to lay on.
Cooking together and then enjoying the added benefit of being able to share the spoils makes a very effective and enjoyable team building experience. You may be concerned about what will be produced, but worry not - our team of expert chefs will make sure all is well. Some of your team may even surprise you and some of them may surprise themselves.

I've lists some ideas below. Some are described in detail, and some aren't. Most are software projects that seem like they'd be useful.
Tools to learn
- Stripe for payments
- AWS lambda for serverless architecture
- WebGL for fast graphics
- Firebase for persistence
- Processing for generative art
- Dask for distributed computation
Short project ideas
- Evolutionary design
- Distribute computation across browsers
- WebGL for fast generative art
- New idea-generation strategies - by prompting with general principles or interesting combinations of existing ideas, artworks, and projects
- Text-to-voice - generate text and read it aloud for various purposes, like idea generation, meditation, visualization/imagination, audio-booking things
- Visualizing music
- Creating beautiful real-world artworks from media like laser-etched glass, wood-burning, or 3D printing
- Turning single images into dynamic videos
- Mental training - memorization, visualization, meditation
- Wordplay - connecting words using various rules, replacing words like mad libs, creating company/band names
Collect, develop, and share ideas.
I get ideas throughout the day, and I'd like to save them. I've tried different tools, but none quite fits what I want. In the end, I want a tool that's really fast to use, allows me to jot down a quick note or develop it in depth, and provides a global view where I can browse all my ideas in seconds.
What I've tried so far:
- Handwritten notes - have to carry around notebook, hard to look at all ideas together, can't edit or move ideas around
- Evernote - can edit and use images, but hard to sort and filter ideas quickly
- Google sheets - can edit and move ideas, see them all together, but iPhone app is slow to load and awkward to edit. Can't associate images with notes.
Here are the features I'd like in an idea-handling system:
- Fast mobile and web access - less than 15 seconds from having idea to recording it.
- Easily extend idea - one app for capturing 5 words of plain text, or 1000 words in Markdown, along with multimedia.
- Quickly browse and compare ideas - can see all ideas at once, in varying levels of detail.
- Quickly add labels - just an extra few seconds to add labels for priority and project.
Here are some other features that might be useful:
- Versioned - can always regain work, or see what changed in each revision
- Analytics - can see when I added ideas, a bit like Github activity monitor
- Open source - Github for ideas. Can see others' ideas, comment on them, fork them, contribute, etc.
- Help generate ideas - maybe incorporate idea combinator
Numbers to words
Convert any number into a memorable story.
There's a memorization technique in The Memory Book where you take a long number, convert each digit to a consonant sound, fill in vowels to make real words, and then imagine a scene making use of those words. The result is that a random sequence of digits becomes a memorable scene that you can decode to recall the original digits.
Here are the rules in the book for turning a digit into a consonant sound.
0 -> C, S (as in celery or salary)
6 -> Ch, Sh, J (as in chew, shoe, and Jew)
7 -> C, K (as in cake or karate)
8 -> F, V, Ph (as in file, vial, or phial)
9 -> P, B (as in pill or bill)
If you started with a number like 44634677129, for instance, you could convert it to the following sequence of consonant sounds - R, R, J, M, R, Sh, K, K, T, N, P. One way to turn that into a string of words would be like this: rare jam rash cook tan paw. There are probably better strings of words to choose, and that's partly why it might be nice to automate this process. In any case, once you have this string of words, you can imagine an exciting story or scene which incorporates them, and which you'll remember.
With a bit of natural language processing, it seems like this process could be automated. Start with numbers, convert them to consonant sounds, and search for words which are consistent with these sounds (they can have any vowels, since vowels aren't associated with a digit). This way, you could just put in any number you like, and quickly get some words back that you can then memorize more easily, and use to recall the digits later on.
Music analyzer
Search, annotate, and collect audio more easily.
A listener just presses play. An audio creator does much more - they cut, paste, mix, master, and add effects. I think there's a gap between the two for people who want to listen closely and maybe perform simple edits.
There are a few tasks that should be simple and easy.
- Search - if you have a long recording, you should be able to find the snippets that are important to you.
- Variable playback speed - quickly listen to an entire recording.
- Global audio visualization - see the structure of the entire recording at once. Also, see who's talking and when, or what the music sounds like.
- Retrieval - make it easy to find and replay audio you've searched for.
- Associate listener's notes with audio (at a specific moment, or over some range of time).
- Cut audio and create a new file from just the desired section.
- Bookmark important audio in a single location.
One use case for such a tool is the musician scanning through old material to find things worth reusing. This happens in a jam session, where people record for a long period, with the assumption that most of the recording won't be reused. Finding the parts worth reusing might be time consuming without the features above.
A journalist listening to a debate or interview might like to know who's speaking at each moment. That way, they can quickly navigate a long recording, and maybe transcribe it more easily.
I expect a simple web-based tool could be made to operate seamlessly with audio and video from places like YouTube and Soundcloud, along with files from a user's computer. There are good libraries for handling audio playback and simple edits, so this seems like a worthwhile project.

One month into the new year and there's already some pretty exciting stuff happening in the android gaming space. This week gives us some interesting picks and truly fascinating previews of games to come later this year.
Undead Slayer Hits Play Store; Hack N' Slash Fun For All, Almost
NHN Corp. Has just released Their Hack N' Slash game titled Undead Slayer onto the Play Store as of yesterday and So far it seems to be popular enough for a game put out by a one man development team. The game seems a lot like Dynasty Warriors. You play as a warrior from ancient china that must restore the peace by killing off all the zombies that have taken over. Endless undead hordes are the enemy, and you alone, armed with your sword and flurry of unique skills will have to take them down. There are 20 skills in all that will accomplish this task. Undead slayer has 90 stages total so it sounds like there should be a lot of replay value within the game. The game is free to play but it also has micro transactions within, so if you're someone that craves the immediate gratification, NHN has made sure you can play the game accordingly.
The only downside here, (and might I add it's a BIG one) is that the developer for some reason has chosen to make the game unsupported for anybody running a rooted device. I'm not entirely sure why NHN Corp. would want to limit their possibility to make a profit, but most certainly that's what's happening by cutting off people using a rooted device from playing their game. While it is completely within grounds of the developer's rights and free will to make this a feature of the game, I have to say that I am deeply disappointed by it and otherwise hope it changes. If you have a non-rooted phone or tablet and this game seems interesting to you, I have provided the link below so you can get your hack n' slash on.
Uningine Corp Dishes Details On Oil Rush RTS And Shows Off The Goods In A Hands On Video
If you're an RTS game fan than might be for you. Unigine Corp. will be releasing a full port of their PC game titled Oil Rush onto android next month. The sad news, is that it will be exclusive to devices running a qualcomm snapdragon s4 chipset. For how long, who knows. The game uses Unigine Corps. Own 3D graphics engine appropriately named, Unigine 3D, to provide the very best of eye candy. Thus far it looks to be one of the most visually striking games to ever hit the Play Store. Which makes it all the more of a letdown that it will be exclusive to Snapdragon processors. No Tegra love on this one guys. That being said, some juicy details have been offered up about the game for those of you that may fall into this small category of the android ecosystem and are looking forward to playing this game. The basic layout of the game is that the world's currency now relies on Oil, and you will have to build up your oil rigs to harvest it while keeping your own rigs and oil supply safe from others looking to steal your stash.
The game will have a lot to offer those that will have compatible devices.
-Stunning 3D graphics that have yet to be experienced before on mobile (every developer says this though)
- -Giant battles with enemy's and fierce attacks to become the owner of all the oil
- -Multiple game environments like arctic waters, Asian villages, sunken cities and more
- -Multiple game modes: tower defense, survival, oil retrieval, capture em' all, save the hero, rescue, and more
- -8-10 + hours of gameplay in campaign
- -15 quick play maps for fast paced action against up to 3 AI opponents
- -18 music tracks to play to
So far it seems like the gamers that will get to partake Unigines Oil Rush madness will have a lot to do. Hopefully the rest of us won't have to wait too long to get a taste of this made for android Oil Tycoon.
Gameloft Issues Statement Regarding Airpush Fiasco
In the last week or so, gamers that have been playing Asphalt 7 Heat had started to notice they were receiving notifications in their notification bars relating to what looked like ads from a service called air-push which Gameloft has been known to use. This caused a huge discontentment with many if not all of the games players and thus, the Apocalypse was brought down upon earth and its inhabitants. OK so things weren't that serious but the issue did cause quite a stir with the Asphalt 7 community and rightfully so. Paid games just shouldn't have ads. Period. After some time had settled in here we are a week later and Gameloft has actually issued a statement regarding the whole thing. Here is what they had to say.
Some Android fans of Asphalt 7: Heat recently got messages from the game popping up in their notification tray. Clearly the extreme speed of Asphalt 7 got our Customer Care team a little dizzy, because they mistakenly told users who complained that the messages came from the Air-push ad system.
Gameloft is not using the Air-push service, and Air-push has nothing to do with these messages. It was an internal error and a dedicated team at Gameloft identified the problem and leapt into action to solve it faster than a NASCAR pit crew.
We would like to apologize to our users and to Air-push for any misunderstanding, as well as the inconvenience of experiencing the bug. Our trusty crew has confirmed that our Asphalt 7 fans on Android should never receive these notifications again.
See you on the streets of Asphalt 7: Heat!
It's good to know that the whole thing was just a bug, and that a fix has been applied to correct any issues users were having. Although it seems some people may still be receiving the notifications. Hopefully this gets completely corrected in a fast manner.
Tekken To Be Reborn As A Card Battle Game On Android
Fighting games these days are a dime a dozen, really good fighting games are few and far between. A really good fighting game on android? There is nary a day that I don't wish there was one. Alas, my fellow gamers, the fighting game scene is light when it comes to the play store I'm afraid. The good news here, is that at least we can have a game based off of one of the most popular fighting game series out there. Namco Bandai has decided to bring their popular Tekken Fighting game series to android in the form of a card battle game.
Following in the footsteps of games like Pokemon and others, Tekken Card Tournament as it is officially going to be called, will have you pick your line up o characters and special ability cards and so forth, out of your deck of cards and then you will be pit against another player to compete in turn based style battles. If you're not one for turn based card battle games I certainly don't blame you as I am not really into them much either. However Namco Bandai is trying their hardest to make sure this game has some flare. They want to keep the game fast paced so things feel like a traditional fighting game while you're doing battle. To do this they are adding a match timer to the mix to keep the player on his or her toes, by forcing them to make decisions more quickly like if they were in a fighting match and needed to react to fast movements from and enemy combatant. Now it's getting more interesting. Add the fact that it's Tekken and maybe I could get on board.
One thing that Namco Bandai is doing differently here, is giving players the choice and ability to decide whether they want to play the game with real cards or on their devices by letting players purchase booster packs. Once a pack of cards is purchased, the player can scan the cards into his or her inventory and they will then appear in game. This sets them a tad bit apart from the competition and should make things just interesting enough to grab in the people that love this sort of genre, and who knows, maybe even intrigue some new comers. The game could be coming soon so you'll just have to stay tuned here to find out when. They are already selling the physical booster packs though so the game can't be too far off.
Finger Army 1942 Is Not Your Grandfather's Whack-A-Mole
I haven't played whack-a-mole since I was a kid. I'm talking the real, traditional whack-a-mole. Now there was a time however when I did start playing the digital touch versions of the classic whack a mole game that started popping up on android. They were fun for a while but quickly lost their charm. Whack a mole games for lack of a better description just became, more of a time waster really. Finger Army 1942 aims to send a roundhouse kick to the face of that idea. It takes what we know and love about the whack a mole genre and puts the game backdrop into a World War 2 era to give things a fresh feel, in an attempt to break the monotony of it all.
It does a fairly nice job I might add. Just from watching the video I could see myself playing this game and getting into it. There are also no moles in sight. That's right. The little soldiers are fingers (hence the name: Finger Army. I know right? Who'd have guessed?) and you must tap them to win the battle. Plenty of bonus points, what look like multipliers, power ups and a varied army of finger soldiers all with different abilities should keep your toes here. Or, I suppose fingers would be the more appropriate word.
The game's developers Tin Planet did a nice job here and I think they have a nice little diamond in the rough. If you are interested in picking this up you can grab it for $.99
Death Track Puts Tunnel Racers To The Test In This TRON Like Futuristic Title
TRON always has a way of pumping me up. The lights, the neon, the futuristic landscape, and of course, the super fast badass light bikes that travel on a ribbon of light. Out of the many games to hit mobile platforms over the years mimicking the TRON style this newest addition to the lineup, Death Track, really goes all out. Like all tunnel racers, you'll have to race through the tunnel corridor and dodge any and all incoming obstacles to continue advancing down the track.
The nice thing about Death Track is that it gives you the ability to do so while choosing to race in either a First Person or Third Person view, much like a lot of console racing games out there. This is a nice little add on to the game because sometimes 3rd person just feels more comfortable. Death Track gives you the ability to upgrade your bikes and use other abilities to help you race longer.
These boosters can help make or break a session. You can pick up Death Track for a cool $.99 in the Play Store but be aware there are some IAP's as well. They don't seem to be mandatory, which makes for positive impact on the gaming experience.
BIOHAZRAD 4 Creeps Onto The Play Store; Japan Only For Now
The popular console survival horror favorite, Resident Evil, or better known as Biohazard in Japan has entered our midst. The downside is that Biohazard 4 is only available in the Japanese Play Store at this time, and may very well stay that way. The game was exclusive to LG devices last year in Korea only and it looks like the availability has spread a little more to the east. If only it would keep going and hit western shores. *sigh*
Biohazard 4 features 2 games modes from what it sounds like; Story mode, and Mercenary mode. Story is self-explanatory. Mercenary mode is kind of like a time attack where you have to gun down as many zombies and evil monsters as you can. When I first learned this was out, I was thinking the same thing that some of you are probably thinking right now. I HAVE to pick this up!
The downside is what I stated above; Japan availability only. The silver lining in all of this is that if you are rooted and have the market enabler application, you can snatch yourself up a copy of Biohazard 4 for your survival horror enjoyment. Just be sure to have around $3.00 handy and the ability to read Japanese if you want to fully enjoy and understand the story. Anyone interested in trying this out?
Hills Of Glory Screenshots Surface To Show Off The 3D Awesomeness
Babel Rising's Mando Productions is at it again. Their newest project titled Hills of Glory 3D has gotten a few screenshots thrown out into the wild by the development team and it looks pretty damn good.
Hills of Glory 3D will be a tower defense game based around the World War 2 time period. You will have glorious battles across Europe and the Mediterranean. Defending your troops and points of conquest.
You will be able to deploy both ground and air based attacks at your enemy's for maximum efficiency. Choose the right combination to create an onslaught which the enemy cannot withstand.
So far it seems a lot different from your standard Tower defense style games. 11BitStudios Anomaly Korea and Anomaly Warzone Earth HD are perfect examples of what you can do with turning a tower defense game on its head though. So do expect this to be a lot of fun. No word on a release dates yet, but enjoy the screen shots to get hyped up.
Blitz Brigade Brings Cartoon Like Team Based FPS Action To Mobile
Anybody out there that has played Team Fortress 2 from Valve Corp on Steam can appreciate this game coming to the likes of Android and iOS. While not the only game to enter into this field, (The Respawnables is one I'm personally waiting on.) it is one that looks rather promising. Gameloft wants to tantalize us with this fun FPS style gameplay and have thrown out a teaser trailer for us. The trailer unfortunately doesn't display and gameplay what so ever, so we'll have to look forward to that in another video later on. The teaser does however get me psyched to see that this game exists.
The game seems like it will have a severely comical and almost Quentin Tarantino like feel to it. Which, if the gameplay is like in the video, I say bring it on. I have never played Team Fortress 2, but mostly because I never really knew what it was. After hearing about this type of team based FPS, I have to say I'm rather excited about it. Gameloft is being pretty hush on the whole thing from details to release date. So keep an eye out for our updates.

New York
The second volume of the BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors features a total of 217 art collections in 156 international locations, some of them quite off the beaten path in remote places. In this sense the guide comes in handy to discover some of the art world's most hidden gems and to guarantee some sort of adventure.
On the other hand, this publication also gives a whole new and exciting perspective on international art metropolises by opening up private space to an art interested public. To provide the readers some more background information on the most important art hubs worldwide and to give an impression of their unique dynamics, the guide dedicates seven Shorties (short texts) to metropolises such as Berlin, Buenos Aires, Paris, London, Beijing or Istanbul.
This time we would like to take you to one of the most exciting art cities in the world – bustling New York!
"The New York art scene continues to grow. Two major art fairs per year even fit into the calendar: The coexistence of the storied Armory Show and Frieze New York—on Randall's Island, in the East River—illustrates how receptive the city remains to art. Over 1 000 private galleries have arrived at the same opinion, and now some have jumped the river to Bushwick—a multicultural district in Brooklyn where established Manhattan galleries like Luhring Augustine or Kesting Ray now entertain their branches. If you have time for just a short visit to Manhattan, you'd better be selective. A nice art walk could lead you to Paula Cooper, David Zwirner, or Larry Gagosian in the important gallery district of Chelsea. You could then head up to the vicinity of Central Park, where the galleries of Michael Werner and Hauser & Wirth reside on the Upper East Side. From there it's only a short hop to the grand institutions of the American metropolis: The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) remains as attractive as ever, as does the Guggenheim Museum, and, of course, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the antique world meets American art from the twenty-first century. At the Whitney Museum of American Art you'll find contemporary American works of the twentieth century, and at the Sculpture Center you'll discover very fine exhibitions of current sculptors. But you can also feel like a pioneer and discover art the way curious New Yorkers do. They look over Brooklyn to Queens, at MoMA's PS1, which, along with the New Museum of Contemporary Art, in Manhattan, is one of the most established museums for contemporary art. On the border of Bushwick and Queens you'll find young galleries like Regina Rex, who may already be presenting the stars of tomorrow, today. And, to return to Bushwick: here is where you will find space for project rooms like Chez Bushwick or Norte Maar, whose exhibitions are not subject to the selling pressure of the city. And on the other side of the Manhattan Bridge, just at the edge of Chinatown, you'll find the gallery Canada, known for its sensational program."

Makes 2 loaves that are each about 10 inches long
For the Bread:
1 package yeast
1 1/2 cups water (90°- 100°)
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon rosemary, that has been finger crushed
4 - 4 1/2 cups flour
For the Filling:
½ cup flour
½ pound thinly sliced ham
½ pound thinly sliced cheese of your choice
For the Sauce:
1 Tablespoon brown mustard
3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
For the Egg Wash:
1 egg
1 Tablespoon water
1. Proof the yeast in a large bowl by stirring together the yeast, water and sugar.
2. Let proof for 10 minutes.
3. Add in the salt, mustards, turmeric and rosemary.
4. With a wooden spoon add in the flour, one cup at a time; adding just enough flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
5. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
6. Place the dough into an oiled bowl.
(Oiled bowl: place 1 teaspoon of oil into the bottom of the mixing bowl that you just used to make the dough)
7. Set dough in bowl, turn the dough over to coat all sides.
8. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
9. Preheat oven to 400°.
10. Toss the ham in the ½ cup flour. You want to coat both sides of each ham slice, so only work with one slice at a time.
11. Set the ham slices aside. Discard any unused flour.
12. Roll dough out to an 18x12 inch rectangle on a well floured surface.
13. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and spread the dough, evenly, with the sauce mixture. Just a thin layer is all you need.
14. Lay the ham slices in a single layer over the entire surface of the dough; slightly overlap each slice of ham. Be sure to cover the dough all the way to the edges.
15. Place a layer of the cheese over the ham in the same manner; overlap the slices and cover to the edges.
16. Starting with long end, roll up; so that you end up with a roll that is 18 inches long.
17. Cut the roll in half and place the rolls onto two ungreased baking sheets. Each roll needs its own sheet.
18. Make 3 shallow and diagonal slashes across tops of each loaf with a sharp knife.
19. In a small bowl, whip the egg and water together with a fork.
20. Paint the tops and sides of each loaf generously with egg wash mixture. Discard any unused egg wash.
21. Cover each loaf with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
22. Bake at 400° for 35 – 45 minutes, or until it sounds hollow when tapped.

While Nintendo is still hard at work to bring GameCube games on the Switch Virtual Console, we can start to experience some NGC nostalgia on Nintendo's latest hardware thanks to Mayflash's NGC controller adapter and the Pokken Pro Pad.
Some of you might have already tried to plug in their GameCube controller on Switch through the official Nintendo adapter. If you've done that, you should already know that it's not (yet) compatible. With Pokken Tournament DX on the way, this will be taken care of. But until then, you can use either Mayflash's GameCube Controller adapter or the more official Pokken Tournament Pro Pad.
However, these two only support one controller per console for now, so it's really limited in use. You can play really simple games like Puyo Puyo Tetris (not Zelda, sorry). This will do until we finally get the GameCube Virtual Console, with maybe some new GameCube Joy-Cons.

Tennessee's highest honor in the arts will be awarded April 14th to eight recipients that exemplify the state's finest cultural traditions including Macon County's own Newberry & Sons Chairs.
Established in 1971, the Governor's Arts Awards will be presented by Governor Phil Bredesen and First Lady Andrea Conte in a special ceremony produced by the Tennessee Arts Commission.
Recipients were selected from 56 nominees to receive awards in three different categories including Arts Leadership, Distinguished Artist and Folklife Heritage.Newberry & Sons Chairs, whose Macon County family tradition preserves much of the 19th century approach to chairmaking, has been chosen to receive the Folklife Heritage Award.
Located in the community of Willette, Newberry & Sons Chairs has been accredited as one of the state's finest craft treasures, with few other woodworking shops in the country claiming as strong a family legacy.
With five generations of craftsmanship invested in their business, Louie C. Newberry and his two sons Mark and Terry have kept the shop, and the tradition, alive.
Their earliest chairmaking ancestor in Tennessee was William Newberry. He was born in Georgia, but by 1840, the census noted him as engaged in manufacture in Jackson County, Tennessee, near his descendants' present day shop.
While other generational chair shops in Tennessee deserted old-style designs long ago in favor of bulkier posts and straight, high ladderbacks, the Newberrys preserve finer proportions in their work, sacrificing nothing of sturdiness or durability.
One characteristic of the Newberry style is their distinctive twill-weave hickory bottoms, a feature given up long ago by many Tennessee shops in favor of seats made from purchased fibers or slats.
The Newberrys fell their own hickories and painstakingly shave out long strips of inner bark for the bottoms. In this and many other steps, time and patience account in large part for what makes their chairs unique.
Aside from their creations, the Newberrys also construct some of their own tools designed for efficiency in their trade.
"Our customers are people who still enjoy the old fashioned way," said Terry. "We create chairs that you can't buy at Wal-Mart, furniture that's not made in China. Today, a lot of people are losing out on the way things were. It may not mean much to some people nowadays, but it's something we want to keep alive."
Creating all types of hand-crafted chairs including corner chairs, swinging chairs, high-chairs and 'chairs for two,' the Newberrys also welcome custom orders and the opportunity to bring life back into chairs that simply need a little TLC.
Louie, who still has a set of four chairs made by his father before he was born, remarked that quality has always been part of the tradition honored by his family.
"One thing with our chairs, is that they're not something you use for a little while and then throw away," he said. "These chairs are something to pass down in your family, something to share with future generations."
Over the years, the memories that have been made through the family business are ones the Newberrys say they feel grateful to have been a part of.
"My father could make something out of anything," Louie remembers with a smile. "I remember once he made a turning lathe out of a washing machine motor and the starter from a car."
Terry and Mark, who recall admiring their own father's craftsmanship when they were just young boys, were given their first task of "scratching the rough off of the bark" when they were 9 years old.
Working in a shop just behind the house they grew up in, it brings Louie, Terry and Mark great pleasure to watch Terry's three young daughters, Sarah, Elizabeth and Rachel, "make mud pies and play in the sawdust" during the summers when school is out.
Hoping to share their knowledge with others, Terry and Mark also work together in instructing Hickory Bark Seat Weaving classes at Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin, holding three classes a semester.
Included in the family business as well is Louie's wife of 44 years, Ruby, who takes all of their business calls and orders.
Working side by side each day with his sons, Louie could not imagine a job he would enjoy more.
"It means a lot to me," he said. "I enjoy working with my sons, and we have a lot of fun together. I don't see how it could get any better."
While the Newberrys have won several awards at various craft fairs where their chairs have been featured, the Governor's Arts Folklife Heritage Award, marks the first time their work has received state recognition.
"We are very happy to be receiving this award," Mark said. "We are very thankful for all of the help we've received from Robert "Roby" Cogswell (Tennessee Arts Commission Director of Folklife)."
Standing in their workshop surrounded by furniture created by their own hands, it becomes apparent that there is more to the Newberrys' rich family tradition than just the artform they have mastered.
"Come on in and sit down," Louie says with a laugh. "We have plenty of chairs."
The recipients of the Governor's Arts Awards will be honored at an invitation-only reception on Tuesday, April 14 at the War Memorial Building in downtown Nashville. The awards will be presented by Governor Phil Bredesen during a special ceremony later that evening.

Come November and it is a writing marathon! Set a target of word count and meet your target within the deadline. Thirty days of November indeed turns out to be precious and has paved the way for many successful writers. It is the month of NaNoWriMo and no one wants to lag behind in the writing race!
"I started my novel spree writing thanks to Nanowrimo in 2013. Choices: A Novel was the product. At that time my Hubpages friends were my writing buddies. Honestly, little did I know that I will catch this bug? But, honestly so far Iam happy with this microbe in and around me because it gives me the satisfaction to tame the characters and plot 'as I like'," said Ruchira Khanna, a biochemist turned writer and an established author.
Something that might seem like a Herculean task, but it gets completed in no time as you abide by your daily word count deadlines. It sure seems like a great way to kickstart the manuscript for the novel whose idea you have been harbouring in your heart for long. "I completed a whole novel in NaNoWriMo 2015, and was very thrilled about it. It was an exercise that helped me to stay on the path of writing, as I had to complete a mandatory number of words a day. Thus, it was more for a sense of fulfillment and completion that I took part. This year, I decided to participate just half an hour before the event took off! All because I wanted to be part of that amazing energy from NaNoWriMo that played a huge role in energizing my writing as well," said Deepti Menon, whose latest release 'Shadow in the Mirror' is making waves in the world of books.
The excitement this whole process generates is infectious! If you have participated in it once, it is impossible to miss on it the next time. "NanoWrimo 2013 saw the writing of Equinox, which got published. I love the whole process and excitement of the 'spree', irrespective of whether it does get published or not. This year, I have begun rather slowly, but others talking and joking about their targets encourages me! NanoWrimo rocks!" said Madhuri Maitra, an established author.
The group energy and its zing is something that keeps the pen at work till the deadline for the day is met. "The adrenalin flow is something and keeps us going and that in turn motivates me to fight my laziness in writing," said Reshma Ranjan, romance novelist.
Be it peer pressure, the adrenaline rush or the opportunity to pave the way to the final manuscript, November indeed turns out to be a very useful month for writers!

Senichi Hoshino to return to managing?
by Gen on Apr.26, 2010 @ 1:23 pm, under NPB
4/27/2010 4:28pm JST
...Senichi Hoshino was a guest on a radio program on the 26th and it seems he didn't deny anything that has been mentioned in the press since Sunday. In fact, he had more to say that pointed to a return.
"There's a part of me that still wants to put on a uniform one last time and I would be lying if I said I didn't miss the idea of competing. I'm a baseball player so I want to fulfill people's dreams."
He later added:
"I'd like to die wearing a uniform. That might post a problem for those around me though."
4/26/2010 1:23pm JST
Speaking at an event on Sunday, Senichi Hoshino said that he still has aspirations to manage and was hoping to get back into the game at some point.
"I thought I'd like to try one last challenge before the end of my career / life. I still have a fighting spirit. And I don't think anyone can be beat in that department."
At this point, it seems he's open to joining any of the twelve NPB teams. But with Hoshino being one of the faces of the Hanshin Tigers, you have to assume they aren't just going to let him walk. And with Akinobu Mayumi's contract up at the end of the season, Hoshino could be asked to return and take over the helm.
But if Mayumi takes the team to the Climax Series or the Nippon Series, removing him could be a little problematic, unless they convince him (behind the scenes) to step down "voluntarily" so that Hoshino can slide in for his final run.

Bootstrap makes front-end web development faster and easier. It's made for folks of all skill levels, devices of all shapes, and projects of all sizes.
We created this guide with great tips & tricks for the Twitter bootstrap for you. In the first part we will discuss the basics and tips for grid layouts, buttons and tabs. In the second part we will cover the actions area and how you can implement your code with bootstrap and how to switch to responsive layouts, use LESS preprocessor and customization options.
© Bootstrap
The Bootstrap framework actually comes from one of the Twitter teams, that wanted to put together a toolbox for coworkers, as a base framework for new web projects. It currently has almost 25.000 forks and 68.000 followers, at the version 3.1.1, being one of the most popular projects from Github. Besides HTML and CSS components it also includes a range of practical jQuery plugins for common user interface and since version 2 it supports and is heavily used for responsive layouts development. In the below examples we will use the 2nd version as a reference.
Although created by nerds, it is suitable for developers of all levels. It is intended to be a style guide, but well documented and with practical code examples that are ready to be used. Bootstraps down limit is Internet Explorer 7. Users who still develop and support IE7 unfortunately will not enjoy the benefits of gradients, rounded corners and shadows. Bootstrap follows the principle of progressive enhancement. The CSS code can be further developed and managed by using the CSS preprocessor LESS. Particularly attractive is the download section. You indicate which components you want in your download package and receive your personal variant, with colors, fonts, the degree of rounding of input fields and more. You are basically able to adapt it to your or to your client needs.
To start using Twitter Bootstrap, you should download the complete code including documentation from Github. There you will find in the docs/examples folder the document starter-template/index.html which provides a good basis for the first steps with Twitter Bootstrap. It starts - as expected - with the HTML5 doctype:
<! DOCTYPE html>
Then the base stylesheet is included:
<link href="../assets/css/bootstrap. css" REL="stylesheet">
This ensures that all HTML elements are cross-browser and displayed the same. Normalize.css is used. Unlike, for instance to a classic reset, the paddings and margins will be set to a reasonable default value in the normalization process. This is an excellent base on which to build with additional formatting. The stylesheet for the responsive layout is also involved. You should only use it when you really want to create a responsive layout:
<link href="../assets/css/bootstrap-responsive.css" REL="stylesheet">
The javascript file HTML5 Shim ensures that the newly introduced HTML5 elements are also styled in Internet Explorer:
< - [if lt IE 9 ]>

Samsung Challenges Apples iWatch With its Own Smart Watch
While Apple fans are clamoring about the most-recent iWatch rumors, another tech company has thrown its hat into the ring. Samsung has released an official statement about the company's plans to develop a smart watch, which will directly compete with the upcoming product from Apple.
While Apple has remained tightlipped about its exact plans, Samsung has directly approached the subject. Lee Young Hee, president of Samsung's mobile business department, said to Bloomberg, "We've been preparing the watch product for so long. We are working very hard to get ready for it. We are preparing products for the future, and the watch is definitely one of them."
While rumors about Apple surely motivated the company to open up about its plans, it seems as though Samsung has had a smart watch in the works for some time.
However, Samsung isn't being generous with details. The features and specs are, as of yet, unknown. Experts think that the winner of this competition, if there is a clear winner, will be the company that is better able to serve the needs of consumers.
Apple has had success with revolutionizing products in a way that makes consumers view them as necessary. Just look at the iPhone and iPad. Before those products, few people saw a need for a smartphone or tablet. While Samsung has also had success, the company seems to frequently lag behind its biggest competitor. Perhaps the smart watch is Samsung's chance to take the reins, and the company seems to be in a hurry to put it on the wrists of buyers.
Many opponents claim that a smart watch won't replace the standard watch, which is both a fashion statement and an ascertainment of money. While smart watches will definitely cost a pretty penny, they're not quite the same as a Rolex.
Apple fans are quick to defend the company's design aesthetics, but they're not the type who wear watches. In fact, mobile devices from the likes of Apple and Samsung are much the reason that Generation Y doesn't wear a wristwatch, which makes it doubly important for companies to market their smart watches in a way that is meaningful to the general public.
It's too early to call the winner, and other companies have already shipped their smart watches. Crowdfunded Pebble is among the companies that make smart watches to connect to the user's smartphone. The watch shows time along with incoming messages and phone calls, so the focus is seamlessly connecting technology. Additional apps expand the functions of Pebble, and it's likely that Apple and Samsung will do the same.
Critics say that this is just another way for tech companies to get the consumer's hard-earned dollar; and the smart watch won't necessarily add functions that don't already exist with smartphones. Smart watches should prove entertaining at least.
