Digital Photo Memory Books
I always take a ton of pictures and then download them on my computer and there they sit. I always have high hops of scrapbooking, but in reality I never make the time to do it. So in the meantime the pictures just sit. I was recently given a coupon as a gift to get a free "School Days" book. This is a great way to create digital photo memory books to document your child's school year with pictures and with writing. I have been part of an affiliate program with Paper Coterie but had not done much with it since I really did not understand what it was about until I was given this coupon!
Life can get so busy between work, the kids, their activities, and taking care of the house that I tend to not make time to do "extra" things. Creating the School Days book was an extra thing that I did not put on a schedule. In my mind it was, I have time I will get it done. Well it so happened that the last day I thought about it was the last day I had to get it done before the coupon was no longer valid. I really wanted to take advantage of this offer so I quickly got my picture's together and was able to create my book.
While I was creating my book I realized that, although I have a lot of picture's I did not have a lot of picture's of just one child. I had a few individual pictures but most were with all three children together. So the book I created is more for all three kids, although Megan will probably be able to relate the most. Anna and Ethan are in pre-school so they can definitely be included in this book as well. I am so excited that I got this book done. It is absolutely adorable!
Below are some pages of the book I made through Paper Coterie. They also sent me an adorable necklace (on the card below) as a gift for being a new customer!
There are several different things you can create on the Paper Coterie site, such as Books, Calendars, Cards, Decor, Documenting, Gift Cards, Journals, Memory Keepers, and Planners. Creating something simple is a great way to get these images off your computer and put them into something usable, and they are adorable!
Paper Coterie is currently offering free journals to first time customers. You can start getting your digital photos off of your computer too!

Posted by: Tony Copperfield20 July 2015
Call me a paranoid catastrophist, but I reckon there could be a connection between two recent news stories – one on case management à la Unplanned Admissions DES and the other involving Jezza getting tough on hospital seven-day working.
So. The first one. Who'd a thunk it - producing care plans doesn't seem to reduce mortality, admissions or costs? But it does improve, by just a teensy, weensy bit, patient satisfaction. Which you or I could have told the researchers, given that we all know this exercise in futility succeeds only in eroding our time/souls while generating a ripple of positive feedback from punters who like the idea of us, er, 'caring'.
Now, if I was a politician, this would make me think that all that funding we're ploughing into the Unplanned Admissions DES is starting to sound like a waste of money. On the other hand, it's a cool PR exercise, so if only we could get those pesky GPs to do it for free… Oh yeah, we can. We just make it a contractual obligation.
Which leaves a whole heap of ex-QOF/new DES money to be re-earned in some other way. And that leads us to the second story. Because you can bet that, after hospital doctors, we GPs will be next in line for some aggressive negotiating, aka an imposed contract, to achieve a seven-day service. And the funding for this will come from…ah, you're ahead of me. Twice recycled money which will be trumpeted as carrot rather than stick.
Yes, this does sound a bit like psychotic pessimism, but when you've repeatedly been on the receiving end of malevolent governmental sleight-of-hand, it's the only rational response. So if you're not a paranoid catastrophist, too, you must be mad. Or working for them.
Dr Tony Copperfield is a GP in Essex. You can follow him on Twitter @DocCopperfield
Readers' comments (4)
Of course....i think the narrative is....make the workforce who cant even cope with 5 days do 7 days.....public outcry follows regards lower quality / lack of continuity, .........then once again appear as the conquering hero by bringing in private health to cover for those 'deficiencies'. we are so thick as GPs...they (Conbservatives)are 100 steps ahead in their scheming, not 'a' step ahead.
Can someone set up an undated mass resignation letter please for us ALL to sign as a show of solidarity etc ( even though obviously wouldnt be taken seriously , but would nevertheless get some coverage !)
so funny. they can only get you do do these things by asking you. If you say no then that's it
Anonymous 0:42am-clearly not a GP.
Is that your relationship with your boss then?
Do you say no when he asks you to do something?
It must be a luxury to not have to pay a mortgage, run a car or feed your family eh??
Last one out, turn off the lights!
You seem to miss the point - the object is to make the national contract so unattractive that we will clamour for local resolution. We will give up our right to a lifetime contract in order to survive in the short term. This will put us on the same level playing field as every other private provider and it is a slippery slope from there.

It was with great pleasure that we attended the Infant Aquatic conference held in Třinec, in the Far Eastern corner of the Czech Republic, between the 3-5 October 2014, as Birthlight representatives and conference lecturer.
The founder Eva Kiedroňová and her fantastic team opened the conference, which was titled 'The meaning and methods in swimming for infant and toddlers in individual countries'. It was organised by CAIPA which stands for the Czech association of instructors of psychomotor activities for infant, toddlers and preschoolers .
This provided a platform for discussion, introduction to different methods, time to reconnect with friends, make new ones and share with colleagues alike. We were privileged to be the first to present on our chosen subject 'The science of water parenting with an open heart' and we are pleased to say that it was very well received as it touched the hearts of the attendees and fellow lecturers alike.
The science of love, buoyancy, balance and movement is an area that birthlight has much to share with our fellow instructors.
We found a kindred birthlight spirit in the representative from Mexico, Beatriz Esesarte, who spoke so beautifully on the role of the instructor as a cultural transmitter and facilitator of the learning process. Her work is also based on a lifetime of research and we look forward to reconnecting with her in the future.
Even among those of very different philosophy and methodology, we found common ground in our love for the babies and parents in the aquatic environment.
The funniest but very in depth presentation was given by a long time friend of birthlight, Terje Stakset, on 'what makes an instructor a great instructor', with many deep one liners, such as 'communicate in the water, not under the water' and 'communicate with the water'.
In true birthlight style, we had many unexpected events, a welcome at the airport by Richard dressed in his beautiful folklore clothes, a bright orange deco bedroom, and Sylvie having to go behind the scenes to become part of the translating team as support and back up, as the lectures were being simultaneously translated into Czech, Polish, English, German and Spanish. It was quite a set up!
A special mention goes to Nikolas Chatzigiakoumis and his family, a fellow birthlight teacher, who took a road trip, all the way from Greece!
We have come away with so many ideas for the Birthlight 2016 aquatic conference (22-23 September 2016 at Girton College, Cambridge), and hoping that so many of the friends we have made from across the world, will be able to join us.
We would like to thank CAIPA, and especially Barbara Kiedroń and Veronika Motiková, for her full attention to our well being and also for the wonderful insight into the rich and diverse culture of Třinec and the surrounding area.
We truly had a wonderful and productive time sharing the birthlight philosophy with participants from all over the world and we look forward to many more fruitful and beautiful dialogues like this in the future.
Děkuji! Thank you!

Bierset 04/06 - 05/06
In june 2005 the airport at Liège was transformed in a huge heliport for the 2005 Helidays. This airshow, as the name depicts, hosts mainly helicopters demonstrations. Two solo demonstrations jumped out however, namely the Dutch AH-64A Apache and the UK Army CH-47 Chinook, which gave away a stunning presentation.
Gilze Rijen 17/06 - 18/06
The 2005 Open Dagen from the Koninklijke Luchtmacht were held at the Gilze-Rijen airbase, home of the 301 Apache Sqn. The biggest crowd drawers were the AH-64 Apache solo display and a rare Saab Draken which was to be taken out of service later that year. Other regular appearances at the Dutch airshow were made by UK's Red Arrows, Blue Eagles and CH-47 Chinook display, as well as the solo displays of both the Dutch and Belgian Air Forces F-16's.
Le Bourget 17/06 - 18/06 - 19/06
Le Bourget isn't really the greatest and most spotter-friendly environment, but once in a while there are some great participants for the public to enjoy. Biggest attraction in 2005 was without question the first public performance of the latest product of the Airbus family, namely the big A-380 airliner. Further presentations were made by a Russian Sukhoi Su-27 SMK, a French Rafale, a US-Navy
F/A-18F Super Hornet and the USAF F-16.

What is the maximum VA home loan amount?Answer:
The maximum VA home loan amount is $417,000 in all states except the states of Hawaii and Alaska, where the maximum VA mortgage loan amount is $625,500.
However, some lenders have developed VA loan programs exceeding the allowed VA loan limit under special conditions. The VA loan guaranty is 25% of the loan with VA loan limits set by Ginnie Mae (GNMA) at $417,000. Any customized VA mortgage loan programs will have additional specific requirements from the borrower.
Examples of VA Loans Exceeding the VA Home Loan Amount
Any VA mortgage loan amount exceeding the Ginnie Mae and Freddie Mac conforming limits could be called a VA jumbo loan.
Lenders will most certainly require that a borrower seeking to purchase a home with a VA loan exceeding the VA loan limit of $417,000 either comes up with all the extra amount, or at least part of it.
E.g.: A VA approved loan applicant lives in a high-cost area and the house they are purchasing costs $450,000. It is very likely that the lender demands the borrower to come up with cash to cover the difference between the VA loan limit and the house value - that is, $33,000.
If a VA-approved borrower is buying a house well exceeding the VA loan limit, say, $700,000 the applicant may be required to come up with percentage of the excessive amount over $417,000. It is likely that the lender will require 25% of the excess to be paid upfront and/or have additional requirements. For this particular example, the borrower may have to provide 25% of $283,000 amounting to $70,750.

VIENNA (AP) The Austrian ski federation says ski jumper Gregor Schlierenzauer is taking a break from competing but is aiming to return for the Four Hills Tour from Dec. 28-Jan. 6.
The World Cup record-holder with 53 individual wins will not travel to Nizny Tagil in Russia this weekend after a disappointing start to the season. His 14th place in Lillehammer, Norway, last Saturday was his best result.
In a statement by the federation, Schlierenzauer says, ''To get back to where I once was, I've changed and tried almost everything in the last few months. I've trained very hard but I just don't get the meters.''
A two-time overall World Cup champion, Schlierenzauer won the Four Hills Tour in 2012 and 2013.

Facts You Didn't Know About Your Toothbrush
Do you ever think about your toothbrush? You use it twice a day, but how much do you know about it? We've compiled a list of interesting toothbrush facts. The next time you brush, consider these bits of trivia!
- It's believed that more people own a mobile cell phone than those who own and use a toothbrush. There are nearly 8 billion mobile devices, and tablets, however- only 3.5 billion people are estimated to actually use a toothbrush.
- Where did toothbrushesh originate from? It's believed that the first modern toothrbush was invented by a prisoner in England, by the name of William. Between the time of 1780, William created a toothbrush from bone and used swine bristle for the brush
- However, before William invented what we know to be the toothbrush, it was infact, ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, and Chinese that crafted tools for cleaning their teeth. It was the ancient Chinese that used "Chewing Sticks" to freshen breath as early as 1600 BCE.
- What was used as the bristles? Orginally, the toothbrush bristles were made from boar or cow hair. In todays date- toothbrush bristle are made from material of choice which is nylon and has been used since the 1930's.
- More than 100 million bacteria calls your toothbrush their home. Your body is effective at fighting off these germs, but if you dont change your toothbrush regularly, you may catch an illness. The American Dental Association recommends that you change your toothbrush every three to four months.
Toothbrush Debate- Electric or Manuel?
From what we know, the first toothbrush was from an English prisoner, who fashioned a toothbrush from swin-hair bristles and bone. Luckily, toothbrushes have advanced considerably since then. We now have more appealing options for dental hygiene! With all of the different options out there, we can choose from an extensive selection.
However- with all of the options, for many people, the big question that still remains is: manual or electric toothbrush? Most electirc tootbrushes are so advanced. But is this all really necessary, or will a manual toothbrush do this job just as fine? Let's get into compare and contrast.
Advanced Brushing: Electric toothbrushes now come with timers that aide in helping you brush for the required time. Many also feature a pressure sensor to help alert you when you're brushing too hard, which in the end helps protect your gums from enamel erosion and irritation.
Manual Brushing: This toothbrush is much cheaper, of course, retailing at just a few bucks, without the need to have to find replacement parts. Manuals are indeed much easier to travel with and can use nearly anywhere without worrying about a charge. If the cost and convenience of an electric toothbrush doesn't appeal to you, than considering a manual toothbrush might be your best bet. And whenever it comes time to replace your manual brush, you'll find them readily available at most stores.
Plaque Removal: The American Dental Association says that because of electric toothbrushes vibration and rapid movements, it's indeed more effective at removing the plaque and stains in comparison to a manual brush. Electric toothbrushes are also able to hit hard to reach places that a manual often misses.
From sensitive teeth to serious gum disease, plaque is a major contributing factor. So it makes sense then, that an electric toothrbush is superior to removing plaque and make it a better choice for dental hygiene and health.
Mobility: Not everyone has the cordination to maneuvre a manaual toothbrush. This is what does make the electric toothbrush a good helpful options for people with mobility issues such as arthritis, or for kids and the elderly. One added bonus as well is for kids that uusally find electric toothrbushes more fun to use, which makes it easier for some parents to encourage a regular brushing.
Cost and Convenience: It's obvious to see why electric toothrbushes can be a more attractive option, however they dont come cheap. On average, an electric toothbrush retails for around $60- and that's before you factor in the cost of replacement brush heads.
It's also found that at times the brush heads can be difficult to find if the manufacturer discontinues the certain product. Then, your electric toothbrush can be rendered usless! Adding to the potential inconenience, you'll need to make sure you are charging your toothbrush regularly, wich may be difficult if you often travel.
Brushing Technique: There is a major downside of a manual brush that it's too easy to brush hard without realizing. Brushing hard over time can lead to dental enamel erosion, which could leave you vulnerable too tooth decay and sensitivity. Brushing too hard could also risk irritating your gums and causing bleeding.
Furthermore, people are finding that they overestimate how long they are brushing when they are using a manual toothbrush. Instead of the recommened two minutes to brush, some are putting down their toothbrush just after a minute, leaving plenty of bacteria behind.
So, what's the verdict?: It seems that the electric topothbrush is the clear winner of the manual. However, what if you can't simply afford one? The ADA states while electric toothbrushes do offer more benefits, routine and technique are much more important than the type of brush you are using. If you are brushing your teeth twice daily, thoroughly, than you can get an adequate clean using just a manual toothbrush.
With manuals, brush in a gentle, circular motion and avoid scrubbing your teeth back and forth. Doing this twice daily, along with flossing, your smile will stay happy and healthy!
The Final Note: Whether you are using an elextric, or manual toothbrush, always be sure to clean the toothbrush head after each use and replace every 3 months to limit any bacteria that love to thrive on brushes. And most importantly, don't forget to schedule your six- month check-ups so you can keep your plaque at bay!

6:20 PM... Aloha dudes... Been on the computer and such since I wrote last. And also in my room. Tried to find the Tara Lipinski tape from the 1998 Olympics, but NOOOOO- it has eluded me. Who knows where it is, all the videos are so disorganized. I am getting hungrier and hungrier pour le diner... (for dinner) In other words, j'ai faim!! :-D Hmmmm... Just thought of a poem I wrote about 3 years ago; it doesn't have anything to do with CURRENT current events, but I like it a lot. It's called VIOLENCE
A NATO bomb in Kosovo,
A massacre in Colorado.
Milosovich better get his senses straight,
While Klebold and Harris didn't feel so great.
A bomb at the Embassy in Hong Kong,
A kid at Heritage High gone wrong.
Children shooting guns all day,
committing suicide after they
have ruined other childrens' lives,
with parents' pistols, guns, and knives.
May be a little bit depressing but I am very proud that I wrote it. Time to go to dinner... It is SO cold outside! Au revoir, have a wonderful meal!! -Clarice (for Austin, David, Eric, and Chris)

Web design is a digital medium that makes it subject to the shifts in technology. With the way designers handle the technical challenges while still managing to create a website that is not only innovative and stylish but also user-friendly, it will be exciting to see what more can we expect in 2018.
In 2017, the focus was on mobile usage which means 2018 is going to utilize even more mobile functionality. Let's explore the web design trends you are going to see this year:
1. Web Animation
We live in a world where everyone is in hurry. Here, the animation plays a huge role in conveying your complex ideas and interfaces to your audience in a very short time. Moreover, animated logos and GIFs are surely going to be the trend.
2. Asymmetric Layouts
The responsive design movement enables the designers to build sites that adapt to different devices seamlessly. The unconventional and asymmetrical layouts still going to be strong this year meaning you need to try out something that is not only unique but also experimental.
3. Vibrant Colour Schemes
You must have seen the use of bold colours across digital platforms. Well, now we'll be seeing even more interesting ways of using colour. How colour choices can deliver an exceptional experience to our customers, especially by using them alongside personalization and customization.
4. Playful & Customized Illustrations
To make your brands stand out, 2018 will see a lot more illustration on the websites. Coming in different shape, size and style, they are visually engaging and add personality to your website. Playful and friendly illustrations that are tailored to your brand's tone can work wonders for your brand.
5. Making the most of Mobile
We all saw how mobile web overtook desktop browsing. Now, this year, there would be more focus on the mobile audience to deliver a sophisticated experience to the users. Mobile first would be the principle that web designers would follow. However, there is surely the danger of overdoing it, so the designers have to rely on motion to define the experience.
6. Evolution of AI
Artificial Intelligence has already made its way into the mainstream web design. Now, with people using Google Home, Amazon, and Apple's Siri etc., the design will adapt to this AI medium in a number of ways. In a couple more years, we'll be seeing even more of AI and machine learning in many of our systems we interact with, on a daily basis.
So, this year is going to be an interesting one with much emphasis on colours, mobile, AI and much more.

The Arizona Cardinals are strongly considering selecting Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick. If the Cardinals decide not to select him, there are expected to be a number of teams interested in trading up to the San Francisco 49ers\' slot at No. 2.
\"Now, if they don't do it, and he's still there at No. 2, I see an absolute feeding frenzy from teams looking to trade all the way up for Murray,\" wrote Jay Glazer. \"I just don't see him dropping past that. But man, if the Cards don't take him, that No. 2 slot that the 49ers own would probably be the most sought-after slot in a long time.\"

District Apostle Urs Hebeisen together with District Apostle Helper Edy Isnugroho and Apostle Samuel Hadiwidagdo serves the children of God at Kedu in his last visit in Java area.
Jambean congregation (East Kedu District) became the first stop in the divine service which merged with Langenrejo congregation on Tuesday, July 17, 2018. "Suddenly there was an angel of God near Peter and the light in the room. The angel patted Peter to wake him, "Get up soon!" The chains fell out of Peter's hands" (Acts 12: 7), became the basis of the service. The power of the devil wants to bind us to remain in sin. Yet Jesus has the power to deliver sin. Our part comes to the light of Jesus, then the bonding chain of sin will fall. Attending the service was 191 souls.
Then on Wednesday, July 18, 2018, the service for the entire district of West Kedu was held at Gombong congregation. 611 brothers and sisters takes part in the divine service which based on a passage from of Luke 11:10 "For whosoever asks, receiveth and every seeker seeks, and every one that knocks, and opens it." We converse with God as a benevolent Father. God gives those who asked to Him. Our prayers should contain: Humility because we can not say our merits before God, deep thanksgiving, faith because we believe in God's love and His perfection and rely on Jesus. We look for Jesus to find Him. We are looking for: first, the Kingdom of God. Same like Jesus, we want to understand and do God's will. We also want to always strive for peace with others. If we meet the closed door we want to knock on the door with humility and do not break it, for only God can determine as we enter into His mercy.
On this occasion District Elder Tri Prabowo received a well deserved retirement, as well as a silver wedding for himself and Sister Priksaniati.
Thursday, July 19, 2018 a musical event was held under the theme: "PRAISE GOD WITH JOY". Praise and musical presentation and the strains of keroncong became a new color in this musical events. "You have all been singing well, you have glorified God, and it is touched our souls as well for the souls in the realm" said District Apostle Urs Hebeisen at the end of the event.

Little more than a week after breaking the 23-year-old women's mile record in Monaco, Sifan Hassan raced over her favourite distance of 5,000 metres at London Stadium and bettered her own European record with a time of 14min 22.12sec – but it was only good enough for third place.
Such was the quality of the race in the 10th of the International Association of Athletics Federations Diamond League meetings this season that the naturalised Ethiopian, now running for the Netherlands, who holds the European title, had to give way to Kenya's world record holder Hellen Obiri, who won in a meeting record of 14:20.36 that was also the fastest run this year.
Second place on the second day of this fixture went to Obiri's compatriot Agnes Tirop in a personal best of 14:20.68.
Jamaica's renascent Olympic 100m champion of 2008 and 2012, 32-year-old Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, won the women's 100m in 10.78, just 0.05 off the 2019 world best time she shares with Rio 2016 champion and compatriot Elaine Thompson.
Britain's European 100m and 200m champion Dina Asher-Smith was second in 10.92, with third going to world 100m and 200m silver medallist Marie-Josee Ta Lou of Ivory Coast, who clocked 10.98.
China's Zhenye Xie produced a standout performance in one of the afternoon's non-Diamond League scoring events, the men's 200m, which he won in an Asian record of 19.88 from Britain's Miguel Francis, who clocked a season's best of 19.97.
Syria's world high jump bronze medallist Majd Eddin Ghazal won with an effort of 2.30m from Qatar's world champion Mutaz Essa Barshim, moving towards peak fitness after the serious ankle injury he suffered more than a year ago.
The Qatari, who is second on the all-time list of jumpers with a best of 2.43m, equalled his season's best of 2.27m and will travel on in hope of retaining his world title on home soil later this year.
Sweden's world discus silver medallist Daniel Stahl, who has been throwing more than 70m for fun this season, only needed 68.56m to win today, although that was a meeting record.
Fedrick Dacres of Jamaica, who has also bettered 70m this season, was second with 67.09m ahead of world champion Andrius Gudzius of Lithuania, who managed 65.40.
Germany's European long jump champion Malaka Mihambo produced a meeting record of 7.02m to defeat four-times world champion and London 2012 gold medallist Brittney Reese of the United States, who had a best of 6.82.
In other non-Diamond League events at the Muller International meeting, Samuel Tefera of Ethiopia won the Emsley Carr Mile in a personal best of 3:49.45, the fastest run this year, with Norway's Filip Ingebrigtsen, the 2016 European 1500m champion, finishing second in 3:49.60, a national record.
Britain's Jake Wightman took third place in a personal best of 3:52.02.
In the women's 800m, Britain's Lynsey Sharp won in a season's best of 1min 58.61sec.

As Conan must maneuver his allies and find the evidence against the Strangler while avoiding the watchful eye of his own elite guards, the Black Dragons. The Stangler races against time and the "strange phantom", he too, wants to avoid attention. And the King dying in the Stangler's favorite haunt would bring way too much attention...

Game Tiles Warehouse Maps for Conan
GhostShip Blue posted a topic in Maps and boardsI've been working on converting maps created by Kris at Game Tiles Warehouse from PDFs to jpgs usable by the online scenario editor. In the course of that work I've had the opportunity to talk with Kris a little and I asked about an urban map. Kris is willing and able to do one and put it up in the GTW store but I'm going to have to pay him for a commissioned work. The cost is $150 and Kris is willing to let the community pitch in to pay the commission. Is there enough interest in a 28" x 24" map of a market in Zamora's Maul - complete with market stalls, stairs, alleys and rooftops to warrant me looking into this any deeper?

Ideas and Suggestions
Mr Lee posted a topic in Batman: Gotham City ChroniclesAfter my chat with the guys at your stand at the expo and trying to get across my excitement in a slightly shrill way, I wanted to offer some feedback and potential ideas for characters and scenarios for the game. Character suggestions:- Bar the obvious suggestions of all of the Robins, I would suggest long time Batman fanatics would be really pleased to see Stephanie Brown (aka Spoiler) as a character would be very fun. The second and potentially more controversial suggestion for inclusion is Azrael as either a good guy or a bad guy depending on the campaign requirement. The Azrael/Batman suit from the Knightfall arc is one of the defining moments in Batmans history. Moving on to something a bit easier, I would like to suggest extra villains to potentially be in the game:- Lincoln March and the Court with his henchmen being the Talons. These are a relatively new addition to Batmans rogues gallery but have taken off in an instant because of how menacing they are, being essentially zombie ninja assassins. This would be nice saved for the hardest scenarios in the game! Lincoln March in his Owlman attire would be a pretty sweet miniature too! My second suggestion for a villain is another relative newcomer to the rogues gallery of the Batman:- Professor Pyg. His macabre fascination with making everyone perfect for the Mother of Thorns verges on horror. He always seems to have a faceless horde of Dollotrons (people castrated and made uniform by Pyg) and a penchant for the dramatic. Hes also very quickly become a favourite after his appearances in the Arkham Knight video game. Final villain suggestion is to ask in Doctor Simon Hurt. Dr Hurt worked against Dick Grayson as the Batman and resurfaced again recently in the Nightwing comics. He is Professor Pygs sponsor and is the follower of the demon bat Barbatos . He has been an unusual addition to Batmans rogues gallery in recent years but has made Dick Graysons life a living hell. Hoping other people have suggestions but these are what I would personally enjoy seing.

What's the next Instagram? Or Twitter? Or even Facebook? 🤔
What is the new app that 250M people use every day? These major networks (which also includes LinkedIn, Snapchat and Pinterest) have long defined the social media category, making it hard for any newcomer to snag market share. Like really, really hard. Space in our smartphones is precious real estate, which means we're less inclined to download new apps. Especially when all our friends are already spread across six huge social networks.
Case and point: RIP Vine. And Secret. And Yik Yak. And Peach. 💀
The next big thing
TikTok has recently emerged as a new — and successful — social app, at least from a usage point of view. In 2017, ByteDance (TikTok's China-based owner) acquired teen social app Musical.ly for ~$1B as a way to enter the U.S. market. Unfortunately Mindie, a very similar app that predated Musical.ly from a French-based team, didn't find the same level of traction.
In November, the app reportedly surpassed Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube in monthly downloads in the U.S. Yesterday, ByteDance announced that TikTok has reached 250 million daily active users, and then launched Duoshan, an app that is veryyy similar to Snapchat. 😱
If you're not familiar with TikTok, it's sort of like a social network for amateur music videos. Dancing, gymnastics, comedy, cheerleading and parkour are also popular on the app. TikTok is built to constantly grab your attention, and as a result its user base skews pretty young.
If YouTube, Snapchat and BuzzFeed had a baby, this would be it.
TikTok's long-term survival
TikTok is undoubtedly blowing up, which means the big six will try to own it or clone it. In fact, Facebook already (quietly) launched its own TikTok competitor called Lasso.
While cynics might claim consumer social is dead, TikTok illustrates that mainstream consumers remain eager to play with new toys. Here are 5 other social consumer apps that we're watching:
October is a semi-anonymous Twitter. 🐦
Blind lets you chat anonymously at work. 💬
Islands is like Slack but for college students. 🎓
Dialog lets you create your own radio show on the internet. 🎙
Horsealot is a social network for horse riders. 🐴

The emerging internet of things (IoT) is an extension of digital connectivity to devices and sensors in homes, businesses, vehicles and potentially almost anywhere. This innovation means that virtually any appropriately designed device can generate and transmit data about its operations, which can facilitate monitoring and a range of automatic functions. To do this IoT requires a set of event-centered information and analytic processes that enable people to use that event information to make optimal decisions and take act effectively.

I am happy to share some insights gleaned from our latest Value Index research, which provides our assessment of how well vendors' offerings meet buyers' requirements. The Ventana Research Value Index: Collaborative Analytics and Business Intelligence 2019 is the distillation of a year of market and product research efforts by Ventana Research. Drawing on our benchmark research and expertise, we apply a structured research methodology built on evaluation categories that are designed to reflect the real-world criteria incorporated in a request for proposal to vendors in analytics and business intelligence. Using this methodology, we evaluated vendor submissions in seven categories, five relevant to the product (adaptability, capability, manageability, reliability and usability) and two related to the vendor (TCO/ROI and vendor validation). This research-based index is the first such evaluation to assess the full business value of collaborative analytics and business intelligence software. You can learn more about our Value Index as an effective vendor selection and RFI/RFP tool at https://www.ventanaresearch.com/value-indexes.

World Rugby has approved an amendment to a law that will enable the wearing of goggles at all levels of the game.
In line with the International Federation's vision of "a sport for all", approval by the World Rugby Council follows a comprehensive law trial launched in 2014 after World Rugby identified the need to develop a product that paves the way for greater participation in a safe environment.
In partnership with Italy-based eyewear specialists Raleri, a design was developed to facilitate the inclusion of prescription lenses beyond contact lenses into a device that does not increase the risk of injury to the wearer or to players coming into contact with the wearer.
The successful trial attracted more than 2,000 registrants.
The detailed feedback from participants in the trial allowed World Rugby to develop an evidence-based performance specification in partnership with the Ulster University and the University of Bradford in Great Britain to refine the design of the goggles.
The trial has enabled those with limited or no sight in one eye to participate in the sport more comfortably, as demonstrated by the story of Italy international Ian McKinley, who became the first wearer of goggles in a senior international.
Born in Dublin, McKinley started his career with Irish team Leinster before he was forced to retire from rugby union in 2011 after losing the sight in his left eye after being caught by a stray boot.
He returned to the sport with the aid of protective goggles and made his Six Nations debut for Italy this year, having qualified via the residency rule.
The 29-year-old welcomed the announcement via a short video message.
"The approval of this law amendment is a very significant advancement for rugby and for contact sport, and as someone who championed the project from its inception, I am delighted to see goggles become enshrined within our laws," World Rugby chairman Sir Bill Beaumont said.
"This is a strong demonstration of World Rugby's commitment to game innovation and player welfare, but also our mission to making rugby a more accessible and inclusive sport at all levels.
"This pioneering project was launched to address a specific issue, and with the help of Raleri, Ulster University and the University of Bradford, we have successfully developed a product that will enable more people to play rugby in a safe and comfortable way and we thank all those involved, particularly the players, for their support and passion in making this idea a reality that will transform access to the sport."
Reflecting its commitment to advances in player welfare, the World Rugby Council also approved a "Law 4" trial to enable the assessment of headgear devices which, according to the manufacturers, have been designed to achieve specific, quantifiable medical advances, while aligning with "Law 4" and "Regulation 12" criteria.
Recognising the importance of assessing the evolution of technologies designed to manage and improve player welfare, trials will be permitted subject to strict criteria, including detailed evaluation by World Rugby, safety and independent test house assessment and shared trial research.
While headgear is permitted in law on the basis that it does not cause harm to the wearer or an opponent, current research does not indicate a concussion prevention benefit and World Rugby says manufacturers should not make such claims.
World Rugby has also issued a law application guideline and supporting educational materials to assist everyone in the game with the on-field sanction decision-making process for high tackles and shoulder charges.
Reflecting the International Federation's evidence-based approach to reducing the risk of concussion, the "decision-making framework for high tackles" was developed in partnership with union and competition delegates attending the player welfare symposium in France in March and includes player, coach, match official and medic input.
It is a step-by-step guide with the purpose of firstly improving the consistency in application of on-field sanctions by distinguishing between dangerous tackles that warrant a penalty, yellow card or red card, and secondly supporting protection of the head of both players by consistently and frequently sanctioning the tackle behaviour that is known to be the highest risk.
With research demonstrating that 76 per cent of concussions occur in the tackle, with 72 per cent of those to the tackler, and that head injury risk is 4.2 times greater when tacklers are upright, the framework is aimed at changing player behaviour in this priority area, via the promotion of safer technique, and builds on the January 2017 edict on tougher sanctioning of high tackles.
Available as a step-by-step PDF, the framework is also supported by an educational video and illustrates what match officials are looking for when determining a sanction.
The process focuses on the source of direct contact to the head, the degree of force and, for the first time, any mitigating or aggravating factors that may be applied by the match officials.
It is claimed it will be a useful tool for coaches, players, match officials, media and fans.
Furthermore, it is said to provide a fresh emphasis for future decision-making and does not retrospectively judge previous decisions.
"As a sport, we continue to put injury prevention at the heart of all our decisions," Sir Bill said.
"The decision-making framework for high tackles reflects that commitment.
"It is not a law change, but a provides a step-by-step guide for match officials with the objective of reducing the risk of injury through stronger and more consistent sanctioning of high-risk tackle behaviour.
"We are on an important and bold journey that will take the commitment and support of everyone in the game.
"I would especially like to thank the competitions and unions for their full collaboration in this important process."
World Rugby's Rugby Committee chairman John Jeffrey added: "This is an important player welfare and educational tool for the global game.
"The framework will benefit everyone in the game, not just match officials, and will set the standard that is expected from match officials when considering a high tackle or dangerous shoulder charge."
All World Rugby competitions and international matches will adopt the law application guide with immediate effect along with any competition that is yet to begin.
Competitions currently in progress can either implement immediately or at the beginning of the next competition season/hosting.
