A View from the CLOUD – Has Communication Really Changed? (Part 2)
There was a wonderful show in the late 1960s and early 1970s called Laugh-In. As a young child at the time, it was my first memory of watching television with my mom and dad. I can't remember if it was shown on the same night as the Muppet Show, but they both seem to go together in my memories. They were both quick and witty, and they made me laugh, even at the jokes only my mom and dad seemed to get.
Laugh-In featured many guests in addition to its hosts Dick Martin and Dan Rowan. One of those guests was Lily Tomlin who played Ernestine the Telephone Operator. She was famous for the line, "one ringy dingy."
That line kept popping up in my mind as I prepared to write a follow-on blog post to A View from the CLOUD: Has Communication Really Changed (Part 1) The Laugh-in video of Ernestine the Telephone Operator is worth a quick watch now, both for a good laugh and to frame the rest of this blog post. In addition to laying the foundation for a piece on communication, it quite surprisingly also raised issues of privacy and security… Lily calls it omnipotent (that's potent with an omni in front). I'll tackle those in a separate post… Continue Reading →
CLOUDDimensions: Monetary Instruments Though the Lens of WHO, WHAT, WHEN & WHERE (Part 2 – Credit & Debit Cards)
Since the first installment of monetary instruments through the lens of CLOUD Dimensions, I've had the pleasure of attending both SWIFT's Operations Forum of the Americas and am in the midst of the South by Southwest Interactive. Earlier today, I attended two panels at SXSWi. One was on the topic of consumer lending, and the second was on the topic of bank innovation. Each of these events have added to my thinking on this topic, as well as reinforced my belief that we need to dig below our conceptions of money and banks to truly understand where the advance of technology is taking both us and our future economy.
Throughout the second panel, ably led by Brett King of Banks 2.0 fame, I found myself repetitively tweeting the same meme that is developing here on monetary instruments. "Money has always been mobile." We once moved it around by stagecoach. With the advance of technology, we've added checks, debit and credit cards to the mix. And, as was pointed out during the bank innovation panel at SXSWi, we are now adding mobile devices to the mix, too.
Whether by stage coach, card or mobile, however, each of these mechanisms is simply a distribution mechanism for the money itself. Mobile hasn't reinvented money, it has just become the stagecoach of the 21st century. So, to understand the future of banks and monetary instruments, we must continue to think about the ways in which we use money as a medium of exchange, unit of account, and a store of value. Because it is in its role as a store of value, that the magic of money can be advanced in the 21st century. Money began as commodity money. Early coins, like shekels, had value based on the weight of a commodity. In the case of shekels, that commodity was barley (citation to wikipedia). Of course, money is now digitally recorded, so we must ask ourselves, how do we 'weigh' the value of money in the 21st century?
I began this journey over the meaning of money at Sibos in Amsterdam, and the conversation continues at Chris Skinner's blog at the Financial Services Club in his post on "Money is meaningless." CLOUD has added some additional comments on this topic at the FSC blog. The other comments are also worth your attention.
To be continued….
CLOUDDimensions: Monetary Instruments Though the Lens of WHO, WHAT, WHEN & WHERE (Part 1 – Checks)
As I was reading through my opinion piece from Sibos 2010, so graciously included by the editors in the latest SWIFT Dialogue magazine, a number of additional thoughts began to strike me about our monetary instruments and the sheer number of tags that intersect through them.
Late last year, I put together a series of posts in the standards section of our CLOUD website on the dimensions of CTML, outlining the basics of WHO, WHAT, WHEN and WHERE I Am™. Each of these individual posts looked at these dimensions through the lens of an individual, however, these axes can extend beyond people. They are equally capable of being applied to other physical artifacts, like our monetary instruments, the most common of which are check, debit cards and credit cards.
The goal of this discussion is to explore these four dimensions and how they intersect through our monetary instruments, starting with the most traditional of instruments, a check and then building on this same exercise with other instruments like credit and debit cards. These individual posts on monetary instruments will lay the foundation for a broader whitepaper on payment systems and how they could work in a future CLOUD-enabled Internet. I'm looking forward to the work session on the payments landscape in 2011 at SWIFT's Operations Forum – Americas in NYC next week to get a better sense of the industry's current thinking on the topic.
As you read through this thinking, it may be useful to pull out a check from your wallet, purse, briefcase or office drawer and take a look at it from the view of CLOUD's dimensions. The first thing I noticed when I looked at one of my own checks was the fact that there are three separate instances of a WHO tag on this piece of paper. One of these WHO tags is in the top left and bottom right corners of most checks. In the case of my check, my name, my wife's name and our address is in the top left corner. This same exact tag is also found in the bottom right corner. Of course, in this case, the WHO tag is represented as a machine-readable number, my account number, but in essence, it represents the same information that is found in the top left corner.
The next set of WHO tags is found in the bottom left-hand corner of the check and not far above it in the same region of the check. This WHO is both the human-readable and machine-readable tags representing the bank that holds my account. The machine-readable tag is commonly known as a routing number. The final WHO tag is the one which we write on the "Pay to the Order Of" line. It indicates to whom these funds will be remitted.
Before moving on to the WHAT I Am and WHEN I Am™ tags found on our checks, it is important to point out that a check is not actually money (obvious but worth restating). In a sense, it is a distribution tag that states how my funds are to be moved. The same is true of debit and credit cards. They aren't money either. They, too, are distribution mechanisms that state how, when and under what terms money is to be exchanged. I won't dwell on the topic here, but it is possible, and very likely, that we each have not only checks that we use for our banking relationship but debit cards and credit cards that come from the same institution. In the case of the debit card, it really isn't a different monetary instrument at all but simply another distribution tag that streamlines the paper process of a check. And, for that matter, the credit card is the same as the debit card, except I'm not moving the underlying funds from my own account but "borrowing" them under specific credit and interest terms for the money that I will have available to me in the future, just not now. More on this line of thinking later…
So, let's return to our check and the CLOUD Dimensions associated with it. In the top right hand corner of our check, we have a line for the date, something we call WHEN I Am in the language of CTML. This WHEN I Am could be today or a date in the future. It is a way of saying to the payee and the bank when the funds can be exchanged. We also have a place for a WHAT, which we represent both numerically and in words. Of course, I'm referring to the amount of funds to be exchanged.
What I discovered going through this exercise is that this one 'monetary instrument' is basically a large physical tag cloud to use an Internet term. On this one piece of paper, there are a significant number of tags, each representing not only a unique piece of information but also representing a number of interacting relationships, all of which have "context" because the tag cloud all occurs on this one piece of paper. The next post on CLOUD Dimensions and monetary instruments will look at this idea of tag clouds and their representation by credit and debit cards.
A View from the CLOUD: Has Communication Really Changed? (Part 1)
Every so often, it is useful not having a computer science degree. As a liberal arts undergraduate, with an MBA and JD, I am liberated to ask questions that may seem trite to the most seasoned veterans of technology. One of those questions is about email, and with Walgreens and McDonald's email marketing lists being hacked recently and Angela Levin of the Daily Mail asking deeper questions about privacy and Google's free email, now seems like a good time to think about email from a CLOUD point of view.
The "Hamburgling" of McDonald's and Walgreen's email lists speaks to security and where data is stored, while the article on Google's free email points to far deeper issues about how we view and use the Internet. In the case of Walgreens and McDonald's, the information for communicating with me is stored in their databases. In the case of Google, not only is my email address stored in their database but all of my emails are on their servers, too. None of this is unique to these specific companies. The problem is we have replicated our approach to information in the paper-based era with similar views of information in the Internet era. The virtual world is simply not the same as the physical world, and this recent incident with emails shows how CLOUD's view of the Internet can completely change the approach that allowed these hackers to be successful.
The issue to be addressed here is not so much how the hackers were able to succeed in their theft but instead what CLOUD's future model for the Internet can mean to our communications in general. At the general level, we have a 2 X 2 matrix by which we communicate. There are synchronous and asynchronous conversations, and there are one to one or one to many communications. Whether through physical means or electronic ones, the matrix is still relevant to describing the paths by which we connect and receive messages.The examples in this matrix are not meant to be exhaustive but illustrative.
For each of these communication "vectors," we have a tag. We may have a phone number, a Skype name, an email address, our physical residence or mailing address, or a Twitter name. Interestingly, each of these tags has one thing in common. Us. No matter what the communication vector or path, the message still leads to us. So, really all someone needs to know about me to communicate with me is me. Call it the ultimate version of ME 1.0!
At this point, you may be asking what any of this has to do with the hacking of the marketing databases at Walgreens, McDonald's and others. In today's model for communicating on the Internet, everybody that wants to communicate with me has to store each and every one of my unique tags to do so. Whether it is email or phone or Twitter, this means that each of my addresses or "tags" has to be stored in every database at every company that wants to send me a message, which leads to the outcomes that McDonald's describes as a "Unauthorized Customer Data Access."
What if the various mechanisms for communicating with me were in my control? What if all you needed to know about me to communicate with me was me. In a CLOUD-enabled world, local ownership and use of data extends to our communication vectors. In each case, phone number, Twitter handle, email address or physical address, these "tags" are associated with me and are in my control. As a result, I am able to decide how these tags are managed. Walgreens would never need to know nor store any of this information.
Let's think through how this might work. Since Walgreens is the "pharmacy that America trusts," I may have decided to enter into a relationship with them on multiple fronts. Let's suppose I've placed an order for photos. Obviously, photos are physical items, and as a result, Walgreens will need to mail them to my physical address. If I have shared this "tag," when they print out their mailing label for shipment, my physical address gets printed. No need for them to store it, because I'm managing this communication vector on my terms. Now let's suppose that I've also entrusted Walgreens with my pharmaceutical needs. Depending on the urgency of these communications, I may have allowed Walgreens access to multiple points of access to me. They don't need to know which ones, because I'm managing it. If there is a recall on a drug, I may choose to have such a message sent to me in three ways: text, phone call and email. Walgreens doesn't need to worry about which one I have chosen, they just need to send out the urgent message, and, for audit purposes, know that I've received the message, no matter which channel I have chosen to receive it through.
A world of ME 1.0 not only changes privacy, security and data portability, but it can change communications, too. When the Internet starts with us, communications are no longer pushed but pulled. As a result, there are no longer databases scattered everywhere with my information in it, and no "unauthorized data access customer notices" to send. Even if a hacker gets one of the tags to one of my communication vectors, it doesn't matter. I'm not in relationship with them, so even with my "tag," they can't push a communication to me, because I'm not pulling it.
Part 2 will explore this new concept of communication vectors in more detail, as well as unpack the issues raised by Angela Levin with those creepy ads we get when we are on mail.google.com.
CLOUDDimensions: WHO I Am™
During meetings this past week in New York City and Philadelphia regarding CLOUD in both finance and health, two separate questions were raised that help frame a deeper discussion regarding WHO I Am™. The first question posed was in relationship to Facebook Connect, OpenID and CLOUD's concept of WHO, and the second was in regards to whether WHO I Am or WHAT I Am would be the container by which various dimensions and data would be stored.
Technology Problem or Time for a Paradigm Change?
Since CLOUD believes the future of the Internet lies in a paradigm shift and not just a technology shift, the initial drafting of CTML (contextual markup language) is still in the future. Crafting a new standard while the issues are still framed by paper-based paradigms like web pages would be putting the cart before the horse.
However, it is useful to discuss some of the more philosophical underpinnings embedded in these questions from our northeast roadshow. Since log-ins and forms have boxed us in to solutions that mimic how we've handled these issues in the past, it is better to not allow them to box in our visions of the future. Rather than thinking about WHO I Am in the context of web pages or forms, let's think about this question in a broader way.
Does My Birthday Define WHO I Am?
Each of us is defined by not only our relationships with other people but by a collection of information that is gathered up over a life time. Does our address or our birth date really define WHO I Am? Birthdays or addresses, in some ways, are simply tags (WHAT I Am), tags that mark some aspect of our paths through life. As discussed by our recent posting on WHEN I Am, even birthdays are not fixed in time as evidenced by our own country's change in calendars in the 1700s that moved us from the Old Style to the New Style calendar, a change that also "moved" George Washington's birthday by some two weeks. Of course, the date of our birth is an important mark along any path. It is "where" we each start. It is the ultimate expression of two WHO I Ams combining so as to create a whole new WHO I Am, but the birthday as a discrete data element doesn't define us or define our WHO.
No matter how well OpenID captures my data and enters it efficiently into the multiple web pages and associated forms, it is still entering data into forms. And, that is the problem. Even the OpenID foundation web site recognizes this, "OpenID is a safer, faster and easier way to log in to web sites." But I don't want to log into websites. That's the whole problem. With all of these websites, I have my data scattered everywhere. Having my birthdate entered into more web silos, faster is exactly the problem. Why reenter the birthdate at all?
Somewhere on the Internet, there exists a data point that validates that I was born. I have in my filing cabinet a physical "tag" that proves where I was born, when I was born and to whom I was born. It is called a birth certificate. That "tag" is the most valid version of my birthdate in existence. I've certainly written my birthdate down on a lot of forms in my over 40 years on this planet, but not one of them is validated. The OpenID-style approach makes it easier to further populate the Internet with this same date. But that completely misses the point.
With the many eGovernment efforts occurring globally (I was born outside of London), it is entirely within reason to expect that my birth certificate, or more importantly, the data and tags contained within it, would be accessible electronically. This validated birthdate should never be required to "move," just like web pages don't move. It should become one of many tags or threads that intersect to form my evolving WHO I Am. On my path through life, I have also been tagged by the United States government as a citizen (of which I am very proud), and every ten years, I receive another WHO tag from the US Government in the form of my passport. None of these tags are part of my identity, but the accumulation of these tags create a very robust "tag cloud" that makes it quite clear that I am WHO I say I am.
WHO I Am and Digital Weaving
So, WHO I Am is a really a tag cloud and not a data container. It is a cloud formed by our connections to other people and other experiences. These connections are much like the threads of a weaver (discussed further in my End of LInearity blog), and these threads/tags "flow" through my WHO I Am. The richer these connections; the richer and more colorful is the fabric that is woven by the "flow" of my tags. As a result of the distributed nature of information in a CLOUD-enabled Internet, the idea of "logging in" goes away. It is entirely within reason to envision a CLOUD-enabled web page or other presentation layer that allows me "to pierce my fabric" (in the words of a recent lunch companion) to see my connections to other WHOs or my other WHATs (from health to education to finance and beyond). No logging in necessary, because that is just not WHO I Am.
CLOUD Dimensions: WHEN I Am™
Time is the greatest innovator. — Francis Bacon, "Of Innovations" 1625
We live in a world measured by time. The earth has always moved around the sun; the earth has always rotated on its axis; but we have not always measured WHEN in the same way. We've gone from sun dials to sands through the hourglass to uranium clocks and Greenwich mean time. This makes thinking about WHEN I Am™ an interesting issue, not only from a metaphysical perspective but especially with respect to both the way in which WHEN captures the specific aspects of time and how WHEN impacts our WHO, WHAT and WHERE.
A History of Time
Before delving deeper into WHEN I Am, it is important to brush off some aspects of the history of time, a topic eloquently considered in detail by Daniel J. Boorstin in Book One of his tome, The Discoverers. As Mr. Boorstin captures in his preface to Book One — Time in the Discoverers: "The first grand discovery was time, the landscape of experience. Only by marking off months, weeks and years, days and hours, minutes and seconds, would mankind be liberated from the cyclical monotony of nature. The flow of shadows, sand and water, and time itself, translated into the clock's s staccato, became a useful measure of man's movements across the planet. The discoveries of time and of space would become on a continuous dimension. Communities of time would bring the first communities of knowledge, ways to share discovery, a common frontier of the unknown." Continue Reading →
CLOUDDimensions: WHERE I Am™
Places, the recent introduction by Facebook, has opened another vector in the ongoing privacy discussion, a discussion sparked not only by Facebook, but by Google and others. Google's Street View is another actor in this on-going privacy debate and Eric Schmidt's own comments about privacy reveal a distorted view of the key component of the Internet, ME.
WHO, WHAT, WHEN & WHERE in World of ME 1.0
As was mentioned in yesterday's post on CLOUD's Dimensions, Who, What, When and Where look different in a world of ME 1.0, as opposed to a world of Web 2.0. This post looks specifically at one of these four axes, WHERE I Am™, and provides more detail on CLOUD's thinking on this particular dimension. To frame our discussions on dimensions, the diagram to the left will become more prevalent in CLOUD's public facing conversations about its work. In this case, WHERE I Am is shaded to indicate that for the purposes of this conversation, WHERE is a fixed vector or axis.
As one unpacks the idea of WHERE I Am, there are actually several components acting in concert. There is, of course, my physical presence, but there is also the dimension of geography. WHERE I Am is actually a combination of two places: mine and the geographic location I happen to be occupying at any given moment. With or without ME, the geographic location still exists. Continue Reading →
CLOUDDimensions: WHAT I Am™
As was pointed out in the first post on the topic, there are four dimensions to the future CLOUD "hypercube": WHO, WHAT, WHEN and WHERE, and it has been several weeks since I posted some thoughts on the third dimension in this series on WHEN. WHAT I Am has been left until last, because as I've discovered, it is the hardest one. Fortunately, during my flight over to Brussels for the Sibos conference in Amsterdam a week ago, the reasons for the difficulty started to dawn on me.

NEW YORK — The owner of a vintage film photo booth previously housed in a now-closed New York City bar is looking for its new home.
The photo booth had been sitting inside HiFi Bar in East Village for the last five years before the bar closed last fall. WNBC-TV reports owner Trixie Salke says she purchased it from a Coney Island amusement park that closed in 1995.
Salke says she now wants to see the photo booth in a place where it's appreciated, not necessarily a bar but a "busy place with lots of people."
Salke says she would sell the photo booth outright for $10,000, but says a profit-sharing option is available.
The unique booth uses black-and-white photography and is not digital.

Welcome to the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast. Three new movies were released this Fourth of July weekend. Melissa McCarthy's "Tammy" came out to a mixed reaction. Sean and I both enjoyed the film, however the trailers were selling us on a different movie then "Tammy" ended up being…oh well. "Deliver Us From Evil" turned out to be just another possession movie, but a fairly competent one. Finally "Earth to Echo" kind of missed with the whole found footage thing, but I'm sure kids will like it.
This weeks "Does it Hold Up" film is Paul Haggis' "Crash." This is my least favorite movie of all time. Both Sean and Josh initially praised this film. After rewatching the film they were both disappointed in themselves for initially liking the movie. They both did a good job of explaining why they were tricked. Seriously this movie is a giant piece of crap and it actually sucks more now than it did when I originally saw it.

Welcome to The I Hate Critics. It's award season so lets talk about the comedy of the year "Hercules." "Hercules" should have advertised itself as a comedy. This is a wanna bee "300" with no fun. "Lone Survivor" took a real life story and took it a little too "Ramboy." Then Bob goes on to wonder what every movie would look like if Peter Berg directed it.
Speaking of disappointment, "August: Osage County." It's probably good on the stage, but not so much on the screen. Sean's top two movies of the year are "Her" and "Inside Llewyn Davis." Josh and I can't argue with him. Both movies are award worthy. We had such a good time talking about these two films.
Our undisputed classic is "Amelie." This is a romantic comedy that is also an art film. Everybody I know that has seen this loves this movie and it surprises me that they love this movie, but it really is that good.
This week in 1984 a soft-core porn named "Hot Dog…The Movie." There was a wet t-shirt contest in it. Our contest this week is to come up with a movie that made it to the theater that includes a wet t shirt contest since "Real Cancun" not including "Piranha 3D."
Our trailers this week are:

Managing Homeschooling with More Ease
|Posted by Eileen Miller on February 25, 2014 at 10:40 AM
I thought I would give new homeschoolers some advice from the 23 years I've been engaged in this process. The more children one is homeschooling...the more of a challenge the effort can be on our time and organization. I have five children: one in grad school, one a senior in college, one a senior at a Catholic high school, one a freshman at this Catholic high school, and one still homeschooled with me. I homeschooled my four older children up until ninth grade where they enrolled in private high schools with an above par transition!
I have found that if I can help my kids focus on more knowledge with a subject at an earlier age, the easier it is to manage their homeschool endeavors at a later age. For example, last year my first grader completed the entire Harcourt Science textbook. We did science three days every week. I absolutely loved this book as the experiments were easy, many, and very instructional. The textbook consisted three units with six chapters averaging about four lessons per chapter. Here is the table-of-contents.
Harcourt Science - Life Science: Living Things Grow and Change, Homes for Living Things; Earth Science: Exploring Earth's Surface, Space and Weather; Physical Science: Exploring Matter, Energy in Motion (This book is extremely manageable. We complete about 4 to 6 great worksheets per lesson dispersed through out the week and conduct a simple experiment with easy to find items. I can read the lesson and worksheets on the weekend so I can be prepared during the week. We do not complete a lesson in one sitting.)
I covered more science that required my assistance with my college sons when they were in first through third grade also. This gave them a big picture of what the discipline of science consisted of while they were at a young age. It opened the door for them to engage in the subject more independently when they were older. This also makes more time if you have any new members join your family in the future because, heaven knows, an infant depends entirely on mom.
This year since my first grader completed a efficient amount of science in first grade, we are able to take a science class in a coop that teaches one day a week rather than three days a week. Our units are on the solar system, anatomy, magnetism, and birds. It will cover less ground than his first year but is a more socially oriented method as he is participating in a wonderful group setting with like minded Christians. A social setting can be a great asset if the kids are all learning similar morals and virtuous concepts. An added benefit is that my partner in teaching has a nursing background and is a great teacher. This gives us more time to focus on the new subjects he is pursuing this year with Latin and spelling.
Now, I've heard of some curriculums that don't even teach science in the early years. I have experienced that this is more applicable to little girls than little boys. My sons loved to be engaged in more hands on experiments. My little girls were more happy just 'being.' I can't say this is the same for every child, but I can definitely say it is the case in our specific family.
Therefore, if you have many children you are homeschooling...try to pick a subject you can teach them a bit more broadly and then the following year you can be a bit more relaxed in this area. Science is a good choice because it can require more of a time and planning commitment.

This workshop will introduce participants to the work of the Jubilee Centre for Character and Values on the role of character and values in the legal profession. The workshop will introduce the dilemma approach that the centre uses to studying professional character or virtue and will focus on the virtue of courage. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss one of two dilemmas designed by the Centre to illustrate courage in conflict with other virtues and values. Participants will discuss to what extent certain courses of action (and the reasoning behind these courses of action) reflect courage in ethical decision-making and will discuss how important courage is in relation to other character strengths a professional may demonstrate (e.g. loyalty, justice or wisdom).

What a pity that so many new believers are left to seek spiritual nourishment from whichever source presents it. From the research I've done and my own experience, I discovered that cults attract mainly seekers of truth. Hardened atheists and devotees to various religions have no use for cults as they are secure in their own beliefs. New Christians, as I was in the early seventies, have no discernment skills so they fall for any lie that masquerades as truth.
In my case, I had given my life to Christ at a vacation Bible school held in the basement of my sister's friend's mother's home. I went there expecting the usual stories and treats that I'd had at the Lutheran church. But Mrs. Blacklock taught something I'd never heard before. She said that everybody was headed for hell but those who accepted Jesus into their hearts and asked forgiveness of their sins would be saved from that terrible fate. I pondered this new teaching for five days, then decided to surrender myself to the Lord.
I don't blame Mrs. Blacklock for not personally inviting me to her church but I wish she had. As far as I know, nobody came to my family's home to invite Diane and I. Mom doesn't remember either. When I was sent back to Jericho Hill School for the Deaf and Blind in September, I returned to the same Anglican church I had attended for the previous five years.
I became spiritually hungry during the summer of 1970 but nobody had told me why church attendance was important. Consequently, I sought spiritual nourishment from radio preachers. Most of them spoke of basic things which I had already learned but one voice stood out among the rest. When I heard The World Tomorrow, I became captivated with Garner Ted Armstrong's persuasive doctrines and analysis of world news events. This was so different from the "Jesus loves me" preaching I'd heard that I faithfully followed his program.
Then a friend invited me to his house church in November of 1971. Far from the usual Bible study topics, the lay minister spoke of the same sort of things Armstrong preached. I became so captivated by Brother Herald that I joined what I thought of as Thee Church.
As I attended the Wednesday evening meetings, I soaked up everything Brother Herald taught as if it was gospel. Here was somebody who refused to paddle around in the shallow end of the scriptural pool. My desire to know more about God was satiated by his biblical interpretations and I saw no danger in what I learned.
I realize now that Thee Church was a cult and that Brother Herald set himself up as God's mouthpiece. Had I been mentored in apologetics, I would have spotted Brother Herald for the blasphemer he was.
This is why I wrote How I Was Razed: A Journey from Cultism to Christianity. People need to know the truth so they can spot a counterfeit gospel immediately. Read more about this testimony of God's providential guidance at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Virtual Bookworm Publishers.

Using a Face Mask to Treat Apnea with CPAP
When beginning CPAP therapy to treat sleep apnea, the CPAP face mask tends to be the part of the treatment that is hardest to become accustomed to. CPAP machines help treat and prevent sleep apnea because they provide a constant supply of air to the lungs through a breathing mask that prevents the airway from collapsing or becoming obstructed. The air can be pumped into the lungs at different pressures depending on how much additional effort is needed to maintain the open airway. Because this treatment option is non-invasive and requires little medical monitoring, it has become the most commonly used method of dealing with sleep apnea and has been successful in eliminating problems associated with the disorder in over 95% of the cases.
CPAP Face Mask Problems and Solutions
In order to provide the pressurized stream of oxygen to the lungs, the sleep apnea sufferer wears a CPAP face mask while sleeping. The face mask is generally similar to ones worn by patients in hospitals who are using oxygen tanks to help them breathe. Although the CPAP face mask is a very effective way to provide the oxygen stream to the lungs, it can be hard for sleep apnea sufferers to get used to wearing a breathing mask while sleeping. In fact, there are a few different problems associated with the mask that make many people reluctant to continue this treatment option despite its history of success.
One of the first problems associated with the CPAP face mask is that many people get slightly claustrophic when they put on the mask because it is difficult to learn to breathe the pressurized stream of air provided through the mask. Another problem people tend to have with the CPAP face mask is sleeping with it. After years of sleeping without wearing anything on their heads, many people have difficulty learning to adjust their sleeping habits to accommodate the demands of the mask. Sleepers that move a great deal while sleeping often have the most problem because the mask and tube will get tangled up as they turn or the mask will become displaced or dislodged.
In order to deal with these problems, CPAP designers have attempted to create different modifications and accessories to help make the masks easier to wear and more comfortable. Instead of the traditional breathing mask, many CPAP users opt to use the breeze CPAP mask that attaches at the nostrils and seems to remain in place more securely. Using adjustable head and chin straps also helps to hold the mask--regardless of which type of mask it is--in place more securely and comfortably.

The new tax on banks was introduced by George Osborne's emergency budget, designed partly to replace the bank levy, a tax on global balance sheets of the biggest banks, which has led to discontent in the industry and even the possibility of giant banks like HSBC leaving the UK.
According to the Financial Times, pre-tax profits for TSB in the six months to June were £44 million, down from 20.1% for the six months to December. The bank said it recognised a full-year FSCS levy charge of £14.8 million during the period.
Sky News has reported that the £1.7 billion takeover by Sabadell is on course to be completed as soon as Sabadell, under City rules, moves to buy out the remaining TSB shareholders who were yet to consent to their holdings being sold.
British lawmakers and regulators want to establish more competition in this sector, by breaking the dominance of Lloyds, Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays, HSBC and the UK arm of Spain's Santander, which together control more than four out of five personal current accounts in Britain.

Why don't people do what they're supposed to do?

If your answer is "yes," then this hard-hitting instructional guide will teach you how to become a self-aware, emotionally intelligent leader who brings out the best in people. You'll learn how to improve people's performance, save time, save money, and cultivate engagement while increasing your team's success.

What are other's experiences w/ insurance settlements? I'm C4/5 complete, 5 yrs post, 50yrs w/ no current significant health issues. I'm covered under a Pennsylvania workers comp insurer. The reinsurer is General Reinsuranse Corp. It seems like most of the people here are still involved w/ insurers. Any idea what % of sci cases are settled and over what time periods? I sure would like to end this abusive relationship w/ my insurer.

Grandy's been visiting the past week. This means laundry has been put away after taking a turn in the dryer instead of the usual "clean hamper" dump. Sleeping in occurred for the mama as I pretended like I couldn't hear kiddos waking up. Outings happened as best we could manage, although our wet, chilly, windy weather didn't oblige to our efforts.
Still, we managed to dye two dozen Easter eggs that were very gently (sarcasm) thrown overhand into the lavender bushes or hidden inside the train table for our hunts. I guess we'll know in a few days if we actually found them all or not.
The kids rode their own giraffes on the carousel for the very first time! You must understand that Selah Grace took the first two years watching friends ride and cheering them on happily, but was NOT going to get on herself. We spent a fair amount of time this past year riding as a family on the stationary bench of the carousel. Now that she is nearing 4, she feels ready to give her own giraffe a go. Maybe in a few more months she'll upgrade to a horse that actually goes up and down. As for Josiah, he's wondering why we wasted our time on the bench and haven't been doing this dare-devilish-riding all along.
Sometimes you strike gold with pictures like this, where everyone is doing their own thing while having lunch beside the pond. Josiah is stoked about the duck a few feet in front of him.
And because I can't NOT celebrate a holiday. And because celebrating to me means going out in the world and being a part of the bigger, culminating crazy. And because my husband knows this about me and loves me, we went to the St. Patty's parade at the edge of Balboa Park. In the wind. In the rain. No umbrellas. With kids. Bring it.
A true family outing, some of us whined and some of us over-exaggerated how great it all was to keep up the positivity. By the end we all came away very wet, but with good memories. Nate's favorite might be that right after I took this pic below, the little Shetland pony pulling the fairy cart in the background laid down in the middle of the street for a good five minutes to take a break. Or perhaps it was watching the next group of roller-derby girls push each other down in the wet prizes these little ponies left on the street. Since no animal or person got hurt, I was glad there was some redeemable aspect of the wet parade experience for Nate because I need him to continue to say yes to my excited, last minute plans of, "Hey! There's a parade at 10:30, let's all go! It's raining, but it'll be fine!" Usually I try to throw in the clencher, "It's FREE!" just to make my argument for why we should go do something like drive downtown on a non-holiday, holiday and stand for two hours in the swirling rain without appropriate clothing sound like a fantastic idea. It was.
Oh yeah. And then this happened toward the end of Grandy's visit. Josiah locked himself in his room. I spent 30 minutes trying to get in the lock with bobby pins, paper clips, and tiny flathead screwdrivers and a few worthless second trying to saw the handle off. Then I spent another 15 minutes just beating the Beetlejuice out of the door handle with a mallet trying to break it off; it just bent. At this point I threw in the towel and called our local fire station to ask if they could please send a fireman to break it off. They sent a whole truck with seven guys and a giant ax/crow-bar. And now we get to forever be telling Josiah the story of how when he was just a little toddler he locked himself in his room and the fire department had to come break him out. I was a little too preoccupied with comforting Josiah and talking with the firemen to remember to ask for a posed picture with him and the guys by the truck in front of our house. But I did get this blurry iphone shot for the photo books.
Even though it was a kind of "dull", rainy week around here we still managed to make some memories. The funny thing about making memories is that most of the time you aren't aware that's what's happening in the moment. But when the day or week has finished, when you have time and a breath to look back, you get to see just how many you made. Thankfully moments don't wait around for me to tell them to be memories. They just are and I get the benefit of receiving them.

Food processor is a very useful appliance in a kitchen. It is sometimes rightly called the workhorse of a kitchen because of its utility in so many of the kitchen tasks. Once you get in the habit of incorporating your food processor in most of your recipes, you will not be able to imagine a life without it. It makes work in the kitchen much faster and simpler. Tasks like chopping vegetable which takes several minutes when done by hand, not to mention the energy wasted while doing so, are completed in a matter of seconds using a food processor. Here is a list of tasks it can perform for you:
One of the main purposes of a food processor is chopping vegetables and nuts. The main blade which fits in the work bowl is used for chopping. This blade chops your ingredients into smaller pieces. You can control the size of the pieces by controlling the duration for which the machine runs. The longer you run it, the smaller will be the pieces that you get.
Your food processor can also be used to grind meat. This function is performed by the same S shaped blade that is used for chopping vegetables. Instead of buying minced meat from the store, you can make cheaper and healthier minced meat by using your food processor to grind raw meat. This way you can also control the texture of your minced meat. If you want finer texture, you can run the machine longer. If you want courser texture, you will run it for shorter intervals.
Food processors come with slicing disks which are used to slice vegetables like carrots, onions etc. you can even slice fruits with it. For slicing, you will fit the slicing disk on top of the work bowl and close the lid. Then add the vegetables from the chute at the top of the lid while the machine is running to slice them. Some food processors come with the ability to slice with different thicknesses as well.
The grating disk of the food processor is used for grating a block of cheese. This saves the user from much trouble by saving his time and the risk of cutting his fingers. You can also use this disk for grating vegetables, for example you can grate potatoes to make hash browns.
Kneading dough:
Food processor can be used to knead dough as well. Some food processors come with a dough blade. If not, the normal chopping blade works fine as well. You can make different types of dough to make pizza crust, pie crust, 'roti' or bread. In case are planning to purchase the best food processor check out this website first.
You can use your food processor to puree food as well. For example you can puree tomatoes to make tomato sauce. You can also puree different fruits and vegetables to make baby food. However, while pureeing food that involves a lot of liquid, you need to be careful not to overfill the bowl or else it will leak resulting in a lot of mess.

Train Accidents: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Representing Chicago Injured Clients: We Fight to Win
Power, Rogers & Smith, L.L.P. are train accident attorneys based out of Chicago, Illinois. We provide legal counsel to victims who suffer train accident injuries because of transportation service negligence. Below are some common questions that plaintiffs have about train accident cases. Schedule a free consultation when you call our team at (312) 313-0202.
If I suffer a train accident injury, can the transportation service be liable?
The transportation service might be liable for your injury if the service was negligent, and caused your injury. The federal government has created few regulations as to the liability of common carriers to injured passengers. In most situations, individual state law applies in determining whether a common carrier is liable for personal injuries. In most states, the general rule is that a common carrier may be liable for personal injuries to passengers. A common carrier is generally required to use the highest degree of care, diligence, and vigilance in the transport of its passengers to the appropriate destination. The carrier must have the necessary equipment and a reasonable degree of skill to carry out the transportation of passengers.
What constitutes train accident negligence?
Failure to use reasonable care while operating a train constitutes negligence. Determining who was at fault in any train accident means figuring out who was negligent and responsible for causing the accident. If your injuries are the result of an operator's failure to use reasonable care while operating the train, then you might have a valid claim.
What is the NTSB?
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent federal agency with jurisdiction over train accidents in the United States. The NTSB issues safety recommendations aimed at preventing future accidents. The NTSB also conducts special studies of transportation safety issues of national significance.
What role does the FBI play in the investigation of a train accident?
The FBI's role is to investigate the possibility of sabotage or some other criminal act that may have contributed to an accident. Although the FBI is consulted in many large train accidents, it takes over jurisdiction only in rare cases where criminal acts caused the accident.

This is an excerpt from Koge Bog
(Denmark, 1616 - Martin Forest, trans.)
The original source can be found at Martin Forest's website
XXVII - To salt beetroot. First put in a still two bricks on the edge, thereon put some pieces of wood and then pour water in, but not close to the wood. On these same pieces of wood the beets are put and hten the helmet is put on. Put it under a good fire so that the beets can cook in the steam, but not too soft. When they are cooked, cleaned and cold they are cut into thin slices. Put in small pieces (like chopped lard) of horse radish, and of aforementioned cut beets first a layer is put into a new glazed pot: thereon sprinkle of the same horseradish, danish cumin, small crushed pepper and a little salt: then another layer of beets, and another of the aforementioned herbs is sprinkled over. Then you pour over a good Alegar, or half Alegar and half wine vinegar, as much as covers the beets. Then put a lid on wiht a good weight, and tie over a clean cloth and put it in a comfortable place. A few days after they can be used, but don't touch it with bare fingers.

Product description: Extamax is a male enhancement supplement that boasts of being able to increase penis size and enhance sexual potency. It targets maximizing the length, width, and power of your genitals, which can translate to increased self-confidence in the bedroom. This strikes a responsive chord in erectile dysfunction sufferers, as well as those who simply want to be more in the lovemaking – in terms of their size and what they can offer to their partner.
Ingredients: Yohimbe, L-arginine, Maca root, catuaba bark, muira puama, Tribulus terrestris, oat straw, cayenne, ginger, and Korean ginseng
Features and Benefits:
This male sexual enhancer capitalizes on the mechanism of increased blood flow to the male genitals, which can result in bigger, better erections and improved quality of the performance and sexual intercourse. Extamax claims that the increase in the amount of blood that fills the penis during erections leads to potentially permanent growth in the penile tissue in the long run.
- Contains an impressive lineup of herbal extracts for male enhancement
- Offers a variety of ordering options to its customer
- Offers money back guarantee
- Penis enlargement claims border on exaggeration due to lack of clinical or anecdotal evidence
- Contains yohimbe, a highly controversial ingredient
- Misleading Free Trial claim, which only actually comes with a future Autoship signup
Conclusion: Extamax attracts male enhancement seekers with the primary claim of penis enlargement. But we find that beyond the marketing copy, we find nothing much to vouch for this benefit – there is hardly any clinical data or finding to show us numbers and statistics pertaining to Extamax performance in this area. The formula also includes yohimbe, which is warned against for its potential serious side effects. We would also like to see more honesty in the Free Trial offer – it comes with a future Autoship and may entail actual spending.

Stored ZC2144 in the line up of surplus locomotives at East Tamar workshops, December 2005
Diesel Traction Tasmania was formed in 2011 to preserve members of the various classes of diesel locomotive that were likely to be scrapped in the near future and that were not attractive to the existing preservation groups. Their aims initially focused on the large English electric locos of the Z, ZA, ZB and ZC classes which were soon to be removed from regular service and likely to disappear.
In mid 2012, Tasrail donated locomotive 2144 (former Queensland Railway 1318, then Australian National's ZC19) to the society. It is currently stored at East Tamar workshops whilst other arrangements are made.
The group has since rebranded themselves as the Launceston and North East Railway, to support their efforts in getting a base and access to parts of the former North East line between Coldwater Creek Junction and Scottsdale. As part of this effort they have, in conjunction with a private individual, acquired railcar DP14 and trailer PT5 from the Burnie City Council.
