Customer Traits
Customer traits are pieces of information about a customer, like their plan, number of licenses, name, etc. that are defined by you or the systems, like Segment, that you integrate with.
You can view a customer's traits on their dashboard, setup subscription tracking based on traits, use them for sorting and filtering, or even define Success Metrics using numeric traits.
Editing a customer's traits
In the Traits view for a customer, you can see all the currently defined trait values for that customer. Traits are separated by their source: Custom traits are traits defined in Vitally, and traits from each of your integrations (e.g. Segment, Stripe, Mixpanel, etc.) are visible on their own tabs.
Editing an existing trait
Both custom traits and traits from your integrations can be edited. Just click into the field for that trait, change the value, and hit save to save your changes when you're done editing!
You can do the same from the accounts list, giving you spreadsheet-like ability to edit your data. Any cell that, when hovered over, highlights blue can be edited with a double-click.
A couple notes on editing traits:
- If the editor for a trait is a different type than you expect (e.g string instead of number), you can change the type by selecting Manage custom traits in Actions
- If you edit a trait from an integration in Vitally, if the integration sends it again, your edit will be overwritten
Creating a new custom trait
You can create a custom trait directly from the customer's traits view by selecting Create a trait in Actions. After naming and selecting a type for your new trait, you can add a value for that specific customer.
Sending trait updates to Segment
If you've configured your Segment integration to send group calls back to Vitally, editing a trait will cause Vitally to immediately send those updates to Segment.
Warning: Be cautious when editing traits from other integrations. They may overwrite traits in other systems, or be overwritten themselves the next time Vitally receives data from that integration.
Managing trait definitions
Each trait in Vitally has a source, a name, a type, and a status. You can manage the attributes of your traits and create new custom traits in the Traits section of your Account Settings.
Pro Tip: Use our 'quick jump' window (using the
cmd + k shortcut) to jump straight to your trait settings.
Custom Traits
You can create new traits in Vitally to store data that is not contained in other systems. This might be the last date you contacted the customer, the name of an important stakeholder, or a brief description of the customer relationship. Traits that are created and managed in Vitally are called Custom Traits.
You can manage custom traits from the Traits section in your Account Setting. Like you can from the account's Traits view on their dashboard, you can also create a new Custom Trait here.
You can automatically set a custom trait's value using Rules.
Traits from integrations
When Vitally receives traits from your connected integrations, like Segment, Mixpanel, Stripe, and Clearbit. You can change the type or of these traits, but you cannot edit their name as the name is owned by the integration.
You can also delete traits from integrations. But, if the integration sends it again, the trait will be re-created in Vitally. If you want the trait to not be visible even if it is seen again, set its status to Hidden.
Trait Status
Each trait has one of three possible statuses in Vitally, all related to how they are displayed:
- Visible: The default state. We'll show these traits normally.
- Hidden: Hidden traits will not be shown in Vitally. Use this when you receive traits from an integration that you don't care about seeing in Vitally.
- Pinned: Pinned traits will be shown at the top of your trait lists. Use pinned traits to prioritize the traits you look at frequently.

Autonomous gasification cottages
On the feasibility of the system arrangementgas supply to you as no one else can tell the happy owners of country houses and cottages: the benefits of civilization are especially valuable when available. You can heat with wood or try to warm up the house with the help of electricity. Both are very expensive, the first and more laborious. The most economical option is the power supply has been gasification. Unfortunately, connected to the main gas supply is not always possible. The subject of careful consideration today will be a stand-alone cottages gasification of liquefied gas. Let us consider the disadvantages and advantages of the arrangement, as well as possible difficulties in installation and operation.
- Advantages and disadvantages of autonomous gasification
- Autonomous gas supply system device
- Possible difficulties in use and methods of their resolution
Advantages and disadvantages of autonomous gasification
To use only one gas stove equipgas supply system, as you know, is not necessarily enough to connect with the cylinder LPG. Autonomous gasification need to comprehensively address the problem of heating devices at home in the winter and hot water all year round.
Liquefied gas can power an electric generator, andbecause the creation of a reserve source of energy, and even in conditions of frequent power surges will be far not superfluous! Thus, gasification cottages apart from the obvious benefits is valuable because it will help to make the house completely volatile. Among the advantages of autonomous gas supply cottages opportunity uninterrupted supply of fuel to the consumer, ease of use, environmentally friendly, and most importantly, economical.
Autonomous gas supply system device
The system consists of a gas tank(Gas tank) filled with propane-butane mixture, valves, devices to automatically adjust the fuel gas phase pressure, as well as a gas pipeline connecting the tank with gas consumers.
Gas tanks come in various sizes and allowmaintain sufficient gas reserves decreased for the autonomous system houses throughout the heating season. Gas holder can be mounted on the ground or buried in the ground.
When choosing the installation method is important to considerclimate features. Low temperatures in winter prevent gas transition from the liquid to the gaseous fraction, which can cause it to lack for customers. Therefore, aerial installation is more often used in areas with warm climates, and in areas with harsh winters underground gas tank placement expedient, soil provides the required temperature level. When underground and aboveground gas tank placement is important to take into account the need to protect against corrosion. Standing on the surface of the paint tank, designed for underground installation is coated with special resins and anti-corrosion polymer compositions.
Possible difficulties in use and methods of their resolution
Liquefied gas, in fact, an explosive substance,at higher temperatures (for example, in summer) it significantly expands the volume of the liquid increases, which leads to an overall increase of pressure in the tank. Capacity can develop leaks, quite simply burst from internal pressure. To avoid such a scenario is absolutely forbidden to fill the gas tank of liquefied gas by more than 85% of the volume.
Another probable difficulty in operationautonomous gas supply systems is to ensure the safe operation of the pipeline and all systems. Even a small leak from the pipeline can be extremely dangerous. Gas is about two times heavier than air, so that "flows" in the lowest areas, accumulating in cellars and basement rooms and then mixed with air, it forms an explosive mixture explosive. Therefore, it is important to the proper arrangement of the boiler. All heaters must be above ground level. Good ventilation (natural) - another necessary condition. Be sure to regularly check the joints for leaks. The room, where there are gas appliances, consumers have to be equipped with gas detectors.
Among the main advantages of the device autonomousgasification system is the possibility of power supply in automatic mode, at least the control of the user, the economic feasibility and performance. The main condition for effective work is a responsible attitude to everything matters, because the gas is explosive, negligence at any stage of the installation and operation of the system is not allowed. Each installation that uses liquefied natural gas must undergo compulsory registration with the relevant authorities, all the activities for installation, installation, refueling must be carried out only by qualified personnel (with appropriate license).

Draw Time
A stunning example of how
to grip a pistol. This is so bad it's hard
to look at.
I was able to get out for a few hours yesterday afternoon for my midweek practice session. I wanted to work on my draw. In my post about the steel plates match this past Saturday I mentioned that I was having some issues with a consistent draw and grip that day. Working on that today I noticed something helpful. When shooting without a cover garment I have typically placed my right arm and hand in pretty much the same position I would with cover. You know, arm naturally at my side and arm extended a few inches from my body. But today I tried something a little different. Instead of holding my arm out so that it did not touch the gun handle. I broght my arm in just enough so that the inside of my arm would barely touch the grip of my pistol. When the buzzer went off I would be able to find my grip much faster. Looking at the times, I believe I decreased my typical time for the first shot by about .20 – .30 secs or so. This may be a common technique. I really don't know. I'll have to look around and see. But it seems to work for me.

Software Licensing Audit is an element of IT resource management that analyzes the condition of a company's software, organizing and replenishing the lacking licenses and implementing procedures to enhance software management process. It is addressed to a wide range of companies and institutions.
The Stages of Software Licenses Audit
A standard software licenses audit consists of three main stages:
- Software inventory
- Introducing a rescue plan
- Creating certain procedures and codes of behaviour concerning programs and applications.
Software inventory – it serves for gaining a detailed set of information concerning possessed IT resources in a company. Firstly, it is necessary to determine what kind of equipment is used within a company – this includes the number of workstations, servers and OS's. In the meantime a type of installed software also should be verified. As a result, a detailed report covering the difference between the number of licenses and the data gathered after the audit is generated.
Rescue plan – after generating a comparison report that compares a factual status of possessed software with the number of possessed licenses, the next step is to get rid of each piece of illegal software that happened to appear on the company's devices. This process also includes unnecessary and unused applications. If a company possesses more licenses than installed programs, they might be installed accordingly.
Creating procedures and codes of behaviour – the last stage describes how to behave with software resources within the whole infrastructure. By implementing those procedures you minimize the risk of installing illegal software – thus, diminish the legality issues and – resulting from them – financial consequences.
Software Licensing Audit System
Statlook system is a program serving the purpose of checking the legality of software. Apart from that, it also is a complex system to manage IT resources and control workers' performance.
Main functions of statlook system:
Remote resource scanning in order to detect installed applications
Remote resource scanning to detect files – no matter how they are defined
Manual computer scanning (Agent on an external memory drive)
Updated software patterns (free pattern databases updates)
Creating own software patterns
Assigning the licenses with software patterns in License Manager
Assigning licenses to computers
Detecting programs' suites (e.g. Office) and OS's
Detailed data concerning the condition of software and its compatibility with possessed licenses (Audit)
What is the point of auditing?
The issue of software legality becomes more and more important. The law enforcement is increasingly responsive to denunciation concerning possessing illegal programs. As it seems, the decision of implementing current audit is inevitable. It is a burning issue – especially while taking into consideration that your end-users are apt to download and install applications and programs from unknown sources.
Basic aims of performing an audit within the organization are as follow:
Listing programs – in a way that a person responsible for possessed software was sure that each installed piece of software has a license
Checking out if there is a factual need for programs to purchase
Optimal usage of programs by the Users.
Benefits for IT
Ensuring the legality of possessed software
Multimedia files, fonts and other files inventory
Better task management
Enhanced IT infrastructure security
Benefits for Business
Legality of business
Securing employees from breaking the law
Data security enhancement
Remote Software Audit
Software licensing audit in statlook enables the administrators to easily identify unlicensed programs and multimedia files, and – as consequence – minimize the piracy within the company. Ensuring the legality of possessed software guarantees that your company is secure and will not experience harsh consequences of legal misconduct.
With remote software audit the administrator can perform the whole operation from one place, what vastly decreases the amount of time spent on this activity. Nowadays this is a must in case of such systems – especially concerning companies that use more than several dozens of workstations on a daily basis. With Agents installed on each company's computer which serve as means of connection between workstations and statlook's administration console, the audit can be performed without a need to visit each place in person.
It is especially important for system's functionality which main aim is to save time of IT administrators. The audit might be performed from one place and its results might be displayed later on as detailed, yet transparent reports; tackling the issue individually, by groups or for the whole network. Each audit should be performed in a way that does not disturb others work and prevents the network from congestion.
The consequences of having illegal software
Increased risk of virus infection – without a properly prepared code of conduct every worker may download illegal software
Lack of technical support – unlicensed software lacks technical support from its producer's part.
Lack of compatibility – Different versions of software will cause a downgrade of overall work performance, waste of time and workers' frustration
Conflict with law – people responsible for the company's management might be held liable for legal misconduct within the facility.
Why does my company need audit?
What are the benefits of performing an audit within a company? First – and foremost – it directs a right course of managing company's software and prevents us from breaking the law concerning copyrights. To manage our software effectively, we need to gather all the necessary information concerning the licenses – which programs are installed within the network? Is every program licensed? Is every license used? Is every version up-to-date?
- Ensuring the legality of your software
- Securing from the consequences of breaking the law by the end-users
- Listed multimedia, fonts and other files
- Better time expenditure
- IT infrastructure security enhancement
- Security from data breaches

for those who live in the southeastern u.s., you may be happy to know that triton pcs (a member of the at&t wireless network) has been authorized to sell the danger hiptop communicator device. this is the first carrier other than t-mobile that supports the hiptop, and i hope to see this trend continue and provide some competition to t-mobile. the suncom hiptop device will be available starting today at suncom retail store locations in norfolk, richmond, and fredericksburg, virginia. availability will expand to other regional stores this summer. there are no specifics in the press release stating if the device will be the current monochrome model or the new color model, so i believe suncom will start by selling the monochrome model. t-mobile and at&t have signed a roaming agreement that is supposed to go into effect in june.

The Effects of Social Media
Social media usage is at an all time high. The common and highly controversial topic on the effects of social media, has been debated since the beginning of the social media age.
Sophomore Kyle Denning believes social media has room for growth within the platform.
"Social media allows for me to connect with my friends outside of school, as well as to keep me up to date with my interests," Denning said. "With the constant updates I believe social media will only become a larger part of our lives in the near future."
According to a study by www.journalism.org, as of 2013, 72 percent of Americans get their news straight from their social media. Denning has used the power of social media news to make himself a more knowledgeable individual.
"Often, I learn new information that I feel I otherwise would not have learned if it wasn't for the power of social media," Denning said. "I feel that I am able to widen my intelligence and take in new stuff everyday."
With the endless capabilities in social media, junior Courtney Holland believes that social media can help you see the world in a new perspective.
"You are able to experience new things and read unique stories through the power of social media," Holland said. "It's amazing to view things you've never seen before."
With positives there are always negatives. Social media is no exception. Freshman Caleb Karie believes the ability to talk to someone behind a social media platform can cause problems that would not exist without it.
"It is easy to have what you say interpreted in a different way then what you meant," Karie said. "This is because of the fact that you aren't face to face and so it is hard for people to tell the emotion behind what you are saying."
Cyber bullying has became a problem throughout the world due to the increase use of social media. This is causing concern among many, including schools. Holland believes there are risks to everything you post on the internet.
"I believe people love to cyber bully because they know the person they are talking about has no idea who they are, so it's easy to hurt them," Holland said.

Puerto Rico v. Alexander
ELR Citation: 7 ELR 20751
Nos. No. 76-1216, 438 F. Supp. 90/10 ERC 1575/(D.D.C., 08/12/1977)
Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) and the Corps of Engineers' regulations providing for the issuance of permits to discharge dredged and fill material apply to unnavigable waters within Puerto Rico. The court rules that plaintiff has standing to sue under the Declaratory Judgment Act for preenforcement review of the regulations to determine the scope of its sovereignty over waters within its borders. Moreover, the claim is ripe because the regulations are final. Defendants' motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction must therefore be denied. Moving to the merits, the court rejects the contention that §§7 and 9 of the Puerto Rican Federal Relations Act make the regulations inapplicable to Puerto Rico's unnavigable waters and grants defendants' motion for summary judgment. The court concludes that the FWPCA Amendments of 1972 do not fall within the limited exception for locally inapplicable federal statutes provided by these two sections. The legislative history of the FWPCA indicates that federal regulatory jurisdiction under the Act was to be extended to the full extent permitted by the Commerce Clause. It would be impractical to allow unregulated pollution in Puerto Rico's upstream unnavigable waters while attempting to regulate under federal jurisdiction pollution in the downstream waters. Federal regulation of navigable waters without concurrent regulation of their unnavigable tributaries is inconsistent with the congressional intent and policy of the FWPCA.
Counsel for Plaintiff

Tom, Nicole to Share Custody
Nine months after the surprise announcement that Tom Cruise was suddenly splitting from Nicole Kidman — which was then followed by spats of legal bickering, public relations wrangling and carrying on what was, at times, a very public split for such a private couple — the hanging matters have been resolved. Cruise, 39, and Kidman, 34, "have come to an amicable, full resolution of all issues," according to a joint statement released to PEOPLE by Cruise's attorney, Dennis Wasser. The settlement, which was reached late Wednesday, was accomplished, said Wasser, "to ensure that the best interests of their children were protected." Cruise and Kidman, who were not present in court, will share the custody of their two children (Connor, 6, and Isabella, 8), both of whom were adopted at birth. Kidman had sought primary physical custody, while Cruise requested shared physical custody. Just recently, Cruise told PEOPLE, "My kids are the most important thing in the world to me. They always have been and they always will. There is nothing else in the world that matters to me right now." Not revealed is how the couple's property and assets — which Fortune magazine estimates to be $250 million — will be divided. To ensure privacy, the court papers have been sealed. "Tom and Nicole," Wasser went on to say, "will remain close friends." "We're family. We're going to raise these kids together . . . We're now just the parents that are no longer together but we still care about each other and there is a lot of love and respect there," Cruise told "Access Hollywood" this week. The Hollywood hunk, who has been romantically linked to "Minority Report" costar Penelope Cruz, also told "Access" that when it comes to getting married again, it's never say never. "I don't have any feelings like I'm never going to get married again. I don't feel that way. I'm very much a romantic, an optimist."

My sister, Jamie, requested a Weekly Schedule printable, to replace her Holiday to-do List in her 12×36 frame. Lisa, was nice enough to throw one together for us!
I ended up printing gone for myself and I BEYOND love it! It's so nice to go over my planner each week and copy it to the Weekly Schedule for my whole family to see. I have gotten tons of compliments and "I need one of these" from neighbors and friends too! Lucky for them – all I have to do is send them over here and they can get one!
I am going to move my Winter to-do list to another wall, so I did get my Weekly Calendar up on the wall!
I decided to put it on that particular wall, because I walk past it 1000 times a day. It's the wall I look at as I exit my kitchen, walk down the hall and as I enter my laundry room! I have loved having a place right by my kitchen to write down what groceries I need, etc!
We don't have a crazy packed schedule yet, but it will be nice not to have to worry about my husband not knowing our weekly schedule.

Yes, Santa and his flying reindeer are a ridiculous piece of cultural fiction. Jolly St. Nick and his band of toy-making elves are not real (I apologize if I'm breaking any hearts here).
I will also say that Santa and crew are a fantastic cast of characters for a murder mystery.
I can say this with confidence having played 'Trouble on the Santa Cruise' as a fundraiser for EduDeo with our small group from church.
We brought in a babysitter to watch the kids, dished out the raclette set (if you don't know what raclettes are, think 'personal stirfry' served with meats, cheeses and potatoes), and we enjoyed a night of hilarity for a great cause.
A murder mystery dinner is a party for 8-10 people. Each guest is assigned a role as a suspect in a fictional crime. The guests come dressed up as their character - and over the course of the meal, discloses facts about the murder (where were they that night - what reason mght they have to commit the crime, etc).
Each character are given facts to disclose - so there's no need to stress out about improvising answers on the spot.
The story is also rife with jokes and jaw-dropping moments.
You can play the game on your smartphone (via wi-fi) - or you can print off a script. The whole event is organized and hosted through Parteza - a free application that makes assigning roles and sending invitations effortless.
All in, I would call our party a success. We grew closer together as a small group, laughing at grumpy head-elf, a hyperactive Blitzen, and a Santa with a horrible compulsion to eat anything.
We also raised funds for EduDeo, sharing the real story of Christmas -- the birth of Jesus Christ -- by providing children with a quality, Christ-centred education.
If you're looking for a fun Christmas or New Year's party idea - host a murder mystery on behalf of EduDeo.
It's easy to do, and creates an unforgetable evening.
Have questions or concerns about hosting a murder mystery? Let us know! We'd love to help make your night a success.

The reputation of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, son of an English mother
and a father who was a doctor from Sierra Leone, has suffered
in recent years, although at one time his music enjoyed considerable
popularity in England, while as a conductor visiting New York
he was hailed by one critic as "the black Mahler".
Choral Music
Coleridge-Taylor's best known composition is the cantata Hiawatha's Wedding Feast, later extended as Scenes from the Song of Hiawatha, based on the poem by Longfellow.
Orchestral Music
The ballet music from Hiawatha was later arranged as an orchestral suite. The Petite Suite de concert of 1910 has retained a measure of popularity also in a piano arrangement.

It was the best laugh I had had in a long time. Samantha, the soothing female voice on our family GPS, was indicating a left turn ahead. She had been warning us about it for two miles. The husband staunchly refused to get into the left hand lane, doubting that Samantha knew this distant area of Michigan as well as he did. We had passed through this area maybe four times before.
After his repeated denials that a lane change was necessary, it turned out that Samantha was correct and there was much "eating of crow" that followed.
You know how women tease men about not stopping to ask directions? Even with someone IN the car GIVING directions, the man said "NO. I will not follow your directions."
Samantha: In 2 miles turn left onto Highway 41 North.
Husband: No.
Samantha: In 200 feet turn left onto Highway 41 North.
Husband: No.
Samantha: Turn left onto Highway 41 North.
Husband: No.
Now Samantha can be pretty goofy. Sometimes she tells you to get off major highways and take service roads, seemingly just because she wants to have a look around. You always have to be making decisions about whether she knows more than you do. Sometimes she does, sometimes she doesn't. So, although I am teasing my poor hubby mercilessly about this, the chance was really 50/50 that he was correct in disregarding Samantha's advice.
This brings me to one thing I really like about being Catholic, you have a single point of final answer to your questions and you don't need to second guess things all the time. Back in my Protestant days, everything my church told me, like my GPS tells me now, had to be scrutinized and analyzed by me. To quote Simcha Fisher, "My theology credentials are: I am a housewife with a computer". Now, of course, I had the Holy Spirit to help me discern. Catholics and Protestants, alike, though, will tell you that listening for His voice and discernment in general can be tricky and a precarious science.
There may be times when someone in the Catholic Church might give me a bad steer. The good news is that with the exception of doing something blatantly against the obvious moral law, my obedience to my superiors (husband, boss, church, parents) always gives me the right answer on God's final exam.
Not having to reinvent the wheel by repondering every moral and social issue since history began, frees up time for living the vibrant, joy-filled Catholic life God wants to bless me with . . . and for getting lost in Michigan.

Saami (Lapps), one of the most ancient and enigmatic peoples of Northern Europe, have lived in the North of Fennoscandia since olden times. Their origin, culture and language remain not fully investigated. The roots of this people date back to the Mesolithic, and their ancestors were reindeer hunters and fishermen of Northern Europe. Genetic research in recent years revealed the commom features of the modern Saami and the descendants of an ancient population of the Atlantic coast of the Ice Age – contemporary Berbers and the Basques. The Proto-Saami moved to Lapland for the first time from the south following the retreating glacier and the northward migration of wild reindeer (this happened no later than in the 4th millennium BC), and gradually reached the place of their today residence. Their common homeland is divided now by the political borders of Russia, Sweden, Norway and Finland, and stretches from the Kola Peninsula in Russia to the northern regions of Scandinavian countries.
In accordance with their customs and way of life, the Saami engage in all the types of economic activity characteristic of the peoples of the Arctic Circle. They practice reindeer breeding in its two variations: large herd and forest; hunting and gathering; river, lake and sea fishing, and marine mammals hunting.
The dominant feature of the exhibition are the unique objects collected among the Saami in the first two decades of the 20th century on the territory of the Kola Peninsula, in Norway and Finland (acquired by O.O. Vizel, S.I. Sergel, V.A. Plotnikov, L.L.Kapits). These collections reflect the most archaic stratum of folk culture and create a vivid image of the last nomads of Northern Europe. Impotent components of the exhibition are also the items collected by D.A. Zolotariev from the Kola Saami in the 1920s.
The exhibition contains about 200 objects and 30 historical photographs that ideally provide an opportunity to represent in entirety traditional way of life of the Saami. The reindeer in the history of this people may serve as a visual representation of their lives. Saami reindeer breeding had unique features that are displayed in such articles as a sleigh-boat which is considered to be one of the most ancient means of transport in Europe; tools and devices for herding reindeer, and several types of male and female reindeer harnesses. Also are included in the exhibition the complete outfit of a reindeer-breeder, fur and woolen clothes, an abundance of birch bark, wooden and bone utensils, and the complete structure of a portable dwelling.
Ritual objects which also form part of the exhibition round out the portrait of the Saami as do the articles used to care for children: unique cradles in which infants were carried on reindeer across snows of Lapland.
Exhibits; about 200 items
Exhibition area: not less than 150 m²

Unzip the download (Stingray Traffic Manager Cacti Templates.zip)
Via the Cacti UI, "Import Templates" and import the Data, Host, and Graph templates. * Included graph templates are not required for functionality.
* Due to the method used by Cacti for creating graphs and the related RRD files, it is my recommendation NOT to create all graphs via the Device Page. If you create all the graphs via the "*Create Graphs for this Host" link on the device page, Cacti will create an individual data source (RRD file and SNMP query for each graph) resulting in a significant amount of wasted Cacti and Device resources. Test yourself with the Stingray SNMP graph.
My recommendation is to create a single initial graph for each Data Query or Data Input method (i.e. one for Virtual Servers and one for Global values) and add any additional graphs via the Cacti's Graph Management using the existing Data Source Drop downs.
(click image for full size)
Cacti is sufficient with providing SNMP based RRD graphs, but is limited in Information available, Analytics, Correlation, Scale, Stability and Support.
This is not just a shameless plug; Brocade offers a MUCH more robust set of monitoring and performance tools.

Foxconn is on a hiring spree, rumors are kicking into high gear, and now a new report states that Apple is ramping up chip orders. It can only mean one thing… Apple's new iPhone 5S is on the way. Digitimes on Thursday cited unnamed supply chain sources in claiming that Apple has increased the pace of its integrated circuit (IC) orders as it prepares to launch new devices this fall.
An earlier report stated that Apple's iPhone 5S will enter mass production this month, and the handset is expected to feature a new processor, an upgraded camera and possibly an integrated fingerprint scanner. Digitimes notes that Apple's chip orders for iPhone and iPad models in the second half could account for as much as 70% of Apple's total chip orders in 2013.

i've finally found some time to sit down and write our proposal story, so here goes. about a week and a half before christmas this past year, my brother came home from his mission and beej and i were both able to head down to arizona for his homecoming. i was going back to arizona a week later for christmas and had mentioned how nice it would be if he could come back down with me, but we both knew he couldn't miss work and we couldn't really afford to both come back either.
we've been dating for two years and have talked about getting married so this didn't come from left field. we did the whole ring thing together and picked it up together so i knew he had it. he kept teasing me that he was going to hold on to it till march and i was like oh please no haha. the anticipation would have killed me if he waited that long.
there were a few hints leading up to the proposal, like my mom calling bj and leaving a voicemail that he refused to check in front of me, or when my dad called a family meeting when i was at home for christmas and said "let's go to california for a few days, and then come back and hang out with bj". i kinda just blew those things off because even though i knew we'd get engaged soon, i just thought it would for sure happen when i got back to utah.
just a side note to my story....when i go home to arizona, i don't get ready unless we are going out, and usually it doesn't even happen for that. i truly turn into the biggest bum you've ever seen. no makeup, greasy hair, big tshirt, and leggings. but i don't care because i just hang out with my family when i go home so no big deal. but my sisters knew that if i looked like hagrid when i got engaged that i'd be like why didn't you tell me to throw something on or brush my hair?!
little did i know they'd been working up a plan. the day after christmas my mom was like let's go shopping and my sisters followed it up with "yeah and then let's go take pictures with all our sisters." (this was their way of getting me ready for the day) so we were all getting ready and then my mom left to go sign papers for my brother's car (but she was really picking bj up from the airport and my dad was signing the papers). my dad and brother came home before my mom so i asked where's mom? and they were like she's getting groceries (okaaaaaay not). so she rolls in probably twenty minutes later and i'm thinking we're leaving soon so i follow her to her bedroom and she pulls out this envelope from her jewelry box and goes "oh shoot i totally forgot to give this to you yesterday, it was from bj for christmas." i look back now and find it so hilarious how forgetful my mom was pretending to be.
i debated almost reading it later since i thought we were needing to go, but i read the letter and about halfway through i started crying because i figured out what was going on. it was the sweetest letter he's ever written and i will cherish it forever. i keep it in my purse so i can read it whenever i want. at the end of the letter he told me he had one more christmas gift for me and to come get it in my driveway. somehow all my family managed to already be outside, which i don't know how that happened. so i'm crying and screaming while i'm heading to the front door and i come outside to find a little trail of rose petals and bj standing in the front patio area where our yard furniture is, and my family is all behind him in the yard. i go over to him and i think he was planning on a little speech, but i couldn't shut up, so he got down on one knee and asked "do you wanna marry me" hahaha and i screamed yes!!!!!! it felt so surreal. he was nervous and shaking when i went to grab him, it was so cute haha but i felt incredibly happy and was glad my family was able to be apart of it. and he got to spend the rest of the weekend in arizona with all of us!
i cannot wait to be his wife (wife...sounds so weird) we've dated for over two years, and we've had our ups and downs, but there's nobody more perfect for me than him. we're complete opposites in almost every sense, but he's the other half of me that i'm not, and it makes me whole somehow. as cheesy as that sounds. ever since we first started dating, even before i knew i loved him, i could always feel this incredible amount of love he had for me. i've never met anyone more loyal and he puts up with every weird habit, every weakness, and every flaw. and the love always feels the same. i wouldn't care if we were poor the rest of our lives, if i get to spend everyday with him then i'm more than happy. having him by my side and making him him happy is all that matters, nothing else. i say prayers all throughout the day that nothing happens to him because he is everything to me, and i couldn't imagine living without him.
so there you have it...the carmacks are coming for yaaaaa summer 2014! ;)

The Mindy Project's" hilarious Ike Barinholtz — who plays kooky nurse Morgan Tookers on the Fox comedy (he's also a writer on the show) — didn't land the eccentric role the old-fashioned way. In fact, it was a techie meeting of the minds between him and the show's creator and star, Mindy Kaling.
[Photos: Mindy Kaling's Red Carpet Style]
Kaling tweeted about him, he tweeted back, and one thing led to another, Barinholtz told Yahoo's "Sidebar" host Ben Lyons. The rest is history (well, at least since 2012, when the series premiered).
"We actually talk in person now," Barinholtz joked. "I'm waiting for the day for our relationship to sour, and we go back to only talking on Twitter, and then not at all."
Devotees of the sitcom, which kicked off Season 2 on Sept. 17, hope that's never the case!
Fun fact: Barinholtz first auditioned for the role of arrogant ob/gyn Danny Castellano, played by handsome New Yorker Chris Messina. While Barinholtz probably could have pulled off the "New Yorky" role, most would agree that the casting is spot-on as is. In fact, the role of Tookers was created for Barinholtz. Now that's a testament to how much Kaling wanted the comedian onboard.
Speaking of handsome, Barinholtz revealed that he often gets mistaken for a Wahlberg (we see the resemblance!), but not Mark or Donnie.
[Related: James Franco Joins 'The Mindy Project']
"Someone will be like, 'Are you a Wahlberg? You're not quite as handsome as Mark, and you're not quite as cool as Donnie. Are you like Chuck Wahlberg, the third Wahlberg who runs like a plumbing supply?'" Barinholtz told Lyons. "And I tell them, 'Yes.'" (Note: The real Wahlberg family is huge, with way more than three brothers.)
So he's not a Wahlberg; that doesn't mean Barinholtz doesn't run with an awesome crew of his own! We're talking about comedy A-listers Jason Sudeikis, Seth Meyers, and Jordan Peele. But is there any friendly competition between the members of the tight-knit gang?
[Related: Fox Fails to Land Noms in Major Emmys Categories]
"You're really happy when they do really well, but there's a part of you that's like, 'Good for him! He got that big part in a movie! That's good, that's good.' But you're happy for your friends when they do well," Barinholtz confessed with only a tinge of teasing bitterness.
Now that Barinholtz is growing up (at least in some ways; he and wife Erica Hanson welcomed their first child in June), what advice does he have for his younger self? "Wake up earlier! You know, I used to sleep till noon. All that time — that's like six years I've wasted by laying in bed like a lump."
Now there's some sage advice.
"The Mindy Project" airs Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. on Fox.

The extent of my sewing continues to be quilting bee blocks. I'm happy to say as of now, I'm sewing for the current month. For now, I'm caught up. I'm finding this single block sewing to be the perfect food for my creative hunger. Snack food, if you will. I've been able to try new techniques in small increments without a large commitment of time or resources. Tracy asked for a block with texture. Texture and pops of color on gray.
For texture I tried my hand at honeycomb smocking. I'm a long way from doing anything as beautiful as the photo in the tutorial, but I'm pleased with the texture the smocking adds to the block. I added a wee bit more texture and some color too with a strip of selvedge tucked inside a seam, leaving the raw edge exposed.
I'm going to be moving. Moving my sewing room, that is. More on that later... Have a wonderful Monday, friends!

After seeing patients with stiff spines for over 15 years, I have learned a few things about what it takes to be healthy. And one thing I can be certain of, is that there is a direct relationship between the function of someone's spine and their overall health.
This makes complete sense since the skull and spine protect the central nervous system which controls the body. Stress and tension on this "axial skeleton" puts stress on the central nervous system, and that is not conducive to good health.
The problem usually starts when we get so busy that we fail to take time to take care of ourselves.
Consider the cat and dog. They are some of the least busy creatures on the planet. They do what they want or mindlessly do what we programmed them to do… or, they do nothing at all. But when they get up from doing nothing at all, they take time to stretch. And when they stretch, they do it with an emphasis on their spines. And they will stretch their spines several times a day – literally after every period of inactivity.
I am convinced that what should be an innate action in us was meant to protect us from a degenerating spine and the "vertebral subluxation complex", the spinal condition that chiropractors work to correct.
But for some reason, we educated humans don't stretch our spines innately. I am convinced that this is why there is a demand for chiropractic in almost every plaza in America.
But it may be easier to prevent spinal problems from developing than to fix them later. And keeping our spines functioning can slow down the spine degeneration process and may even reverse it to some extent.
"Disc dessication" or disc dehydration from lack of proper spinal joint function is a condition that can cause pain, arthritis, joint range of motion abnormalities, decreased nerve funtion, changes to your health, and further joint degeneration; and it is a preventable condition.
Chiropractic adjustments are particularly beneficial when it comes to restoring individual spinal segments to proper function. Supporting and maintaining function with proper exercises following a chiropractic adjustment is a key to getting better quickly and preventing future problems once your former spinal problems have been corrected. The combination of chiropractic and proper exercise can prove to be a winning combination and a path to better physical performance, less pain, and more health.
Follow Up: Today, I found a very related article about this very same thing proving it works. You can find it at the well.blogs.nytimes.com. It is titled "For Neck Pain, Chiropractic and Exercise Are Better Than Drugs"

New Delhi: While the country continues to fight for justice for the Delhi gangrape survivor, the 23-year-old medical student continues to be on a ventilator. Doctors on Monday said that the survivor had bouts of vomiting on Sunday night.
On Sunday, the doctors said that the girl continued to be serious and is not out of danger although doctors say she is stable, conscious and been communicating with them and her family members. The girl underwent another operation on Sunday afternoon after she complained of pain in the abdomen and respiratory distress, said Dr BD Athani, Medical Superintendent of Safdarjung Hospital.
Dr Athani said that a procedure was carried out for an abdominal wash on the victim. Her bilirubin level had increased to 6.3 and the platelet count, which has been fluctuating wildly, went down at 19,000. Her bilirubin level also remains a cause for concern.
Dr MC Misra, chief, AIIMS trauma centre, who is assisting the doctors treating the survivor said, "There was a abdominal wash that was carried out as there was some fluid collection inside the abdomen. Surgical option had to be used as high dosage of antibiotics didn't help. There are chances of bleeding which is scarce. We can't call her out of danger out."
She is still serious and is back on ventilator support. The doctors also said that she is being made to sit up, take deep breaths and undergoing physiotherapy.
The survivor had been given some juice on Saturday evening and had been taken off the ventilator for over 36 hours. The doctors also tried to take her off the bed and make her take a few steps. Doctors say the young paramedic student was made to get up from her bed and take a few steps. Doctors say they would continue with the exercise.
However, there is still some time before she actually starts walking on her own. Doctors had also said they are keeping the patient on high doses of antibiotics and high standards of hygiene - two important factors for preventing infection.
Doctors from the hospital's psychology department had on Saturday cleared the victim's psychological health by saying she is "very composed and responding well to their questions". They had said the survivor, who was beaten by iron rods and then raped by half-a-dozen men in a moving bus, was "extraordinarily stable" and "optimistic about her future". The doctors had also lauded the victim and said she didn't show any signs of being sad.

We recommend worming with either:
- Drontal
- Fenpral, or

Public health issues with intestinal worms
- Discourage puppies or dogs licking young children's faces.
- Make sure children wash their hands, and do not place their fingers in their mouth, after handling puppies or dogs.

Paymo is a great tool for receiving payments and also has some extra features that will help you keep your projects on-track and moving forward.
You can try Paymo free for 15 days by clicking here.
PayPal is considered one of the fastest, easiest and most popular options to receive online payments.
Once a payment is processed, funds are instantly credited to your account.
PayPal charges a nominal fee for every transaction, and they have very strict policies, so it's a good idea to avoid any fraudulent or suspicious transactions.
This is considered by many as the most secure method for buyers and freelancers to process payments online.
A freelancer only begins work after the client has deposited the money into an Escrow account (handled by an independent, trusted third party) for a certain fee.
The money gets released once the job is completed. Escrow is a recommended option when working on a big job with an unknown client.
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
In this payment system, funds can be sent from one bank account to another and there's no intermediary party involved.
Essentially, you just need to provide certain banking information to your client and the funds will be wired to your selected account.
Google Checkout (Now Google Wallet)
Google Checkout is an integrated payment gateway that monitors your account information with its fraud protection program.
You're allowed to accept free money transfers and integrate your Google account with other payment systems.
A good thing about Google Checkout is the low fees charged.
Similar to PayPal, Moneybookers allows you to send and receive funds via bank account, debit card and credit card.
It processes payments instantly, without geographical limitations (unlike PayPal which has set limitations on certain countries like India).
However, a major drawback with this payment option is that you can't use it for online shopping.
Western Union
Western Union money transfers are quick and convenient, albeit the fees are comparatively higher.
Having more than 300,000 locations worldwide, you can receive payment from clients on the other side of the globe.
To send funds, your client has to go to any nearby Western Union branch and deposit the payment which you can collect from the pre-selected location.
Cash Wire Transfer
Cash wire transfer is a safe payment method but it usually takes a few days to complete.
Your client goes to the bank to order the transfer and a code is sent to your bank to request fund disbursement.
Both the recipient and sender are charged with a fee for the service.
This is another fast and convenient payment option that functions like PayPal, although it's not popularly used by many online businesses as of yet.
MoneyGram is quite similar to Western Union except that it has fewer branches worldwide, approximately 100,000.
Also, there are transaction limits so it's not an advisable option when transferring large sums of money.
Xoom works like Western Union but it allows transfer of funds only and it's restricted to online transactions. Your client can choose payment options like credit card, bank account or PayPal, and send the funds directly to your preferred account.
How do you receive payments?
There are many other money transfer methods available online. Just keep in mind to choose the right payment option that will safely and surely let you receive the payment for your hard work.

Sergio Aguero has declared himself fit amid fears that he had suffered another injury setback.
City fans received some worrying news on Sunday night as it was reported that star striker, Sergio Aguero, had picked up an injury in training while on international duty with Argentina.
This injury was confirmed as an adductor strain, and thankfully not Sergio's recurring hamstring problem.
Aguero has since given an interview to Argentinian publication, Diario Olé, putting the minds of the City faithful at ease.
"I'm much better. After the Peru game I had two days to make the recovery and I did a little bit of football today. I'm quite well," said Aguero.
"I'm quite well now," Aguero continued, "you get physical fitness from playing, not from training. Bauza has the decision – I'll be available for Tuesday."
Aguero has developed something of a habit of picking up injuries whilst away on international duty, and he himself has recognised that.
"Sometimes you think: 'Why didn't I stop?', but when they call you for the national team, you want to play at any cost."
Let's hope that Sergio's role in Argentina's game against Paraguay on Tuesday is minimal, and he returns to Manchester in peak physical condition for City's tricky fixture against Everton this weekend.
