While I was on my Internet Vacation, I spent some of the time I would normally burn on social networking sites looking for a To Do list system that would actually work for me. Over the years, I've tried many, but most are too complex, or too cumbersome when it comes to paperless devices. After reading LifeHacker's "How I Work" post on Gina Tripani, I believe I have discovered a system that works for me. At least, it has worked very well for the 10 or so days that I have been using it. I made some modifications to allow for some automation in the system. In order to give you the full picture of how my system works, let me first explain what I was doing before this system. Then I'll list my requirements for a new system. After that I'll describe the new system, and how I've customized it to allow for some automation that saves me time. For the automation piece, I had to write some code. As I write code for a living at my day job, this wasn't a big deal for me. Your mileage may vary.
My previous To Do list system
Actually, I wrote about it in general terms in my post on Paperless List Management Using Evernote, but I'll try to be more succinct and explicit here.
- Each To Do item on my list consisted of one note in Evernote.
- Each To Do note was tagged with the term "inbox" so that I could easily find it regardless of what notebook it went into.
- I used a Saved Search to look for all Notes tagged as "Inbox"
- When I completed a task, I removed the Inbox tag and replaced it with a Completed tag.
- If additional information about the task was required, I kept it in the note with the task.
- My wife could add items to my To Do list by sending a message to my Evernote email address with "#inbox" included in the subject line.
This worked okay for me for quite a while, but over time, I noticed problems:
- It could be cumbersome to add a note via iPhone or iPad. I wanted a method that would be at least as fast as using pen and paper.
- Glancing at my To Do list required pulling up the Saved Search. Easy on the desktop applications, but a bit more difficult on the iPhone and iPad.
- Completing a task required too many steps. I wanted something faster.
On the flip side:
- I liked having this information captured in Evernote
- I liked the ability to add things to my To Do list via email.
- I liked the discrete notes because it left room for future automation.
My requirements for a To Do list system
Given my past experiences, I had some pretty specific requirements that had to be met by any new system. They included:
- System had to be paperless.
- System had to be simple to use. My criteria for "simple to use": I should be able to add/remove to-do items to/from my list at least as quickly as I could if I was using pen and paper.
- System had to be flexible and support many to-do methodologies (e.g. GTD, etc.)
- Lists had to be in a format that would allow me to interact with them from outside the core system–preferably plain text files
- System had to be able to sync across all my computers and devices without effort on my part
- System had to allow adding To Do items via email
- System had to be able to integrate with Evernote
The core of my new system
After reading that Lifehacker post I mentioned above, I learned of Gina Tripani's project, Todo.txt, a simple, but powerful text-based to-do list manager. You can read all of the details on the tool,but the system is so simple, it doesn't require a lot of reading. The system centers around 2 text files, todo.txt and done.txt. There are command-line clients for Windows, MacOS and other platforms. All these clients do is allow you easier interaction and manipulation of the 2 text files. There are also some formatting rules you can follow to get more out of the system. (For instance, beginning any line with an (A) or (B), etc. assigns a priority to a task. You can include the date you added the task and the date it was completed (the command line tools can do this automatically). You can use +Project to indicate a project name and @context to indicate a context name. There are colorization files that allow the To Do list to be highlighted in color in your command line screen. Here is what my To Do list look like on my Windows machine at work:
You can see how the highlighting and sorting works. You can also see that I've aliased some of the command line tools. To see my To Do list, all I have to do is type "t" at the command line. To add an item, all I did was type:
t add "(B) Create process maps for apps SDLC"
and hit enter. I can do this faster than I can scratch this out on paper. With the command line tools I can do things like filter by project or context. I can search for words. I can change the priority, etc. When I am read to complete one or more tasks, all I have to do is type:
t do 4, 6
This marks tasks 4 and 6 as done. It puts an X at the front of those lines, adds the date that I complete the task, removes the lines from my todo.txt file and moves them to my done.txt file. That way I have a running record of all of the tasks I've done.
The command line interface looks identical on my Mac at home. But how do the two stay in sync?
Remember, the "lists" are nothing but text files. So I keep both text files, todo.txt and done.txt in a folder in Dropbox. My Windows and Mac command line tools are configured to point to the local Dropbox folders on the respective computers to see the lists. Dropbox manages the syncing of files. I don't have to think about it. If I update something at work, my list are instantly updated on Dropbox, which means they are updated at home as well.
And the todo.txt system provides mobile clients. I have a very simple app for my iPhone and iPad, both of which point directly to the files on Dropbox. Here is what the iPhone app looks like for my current To Do list:
The iPad version looks similar. Completing a task is as simple as swiping the task and touching the "Complete" button. Since the underlying files reside on Dropbox, everything syncs up. Adding tasks are very easy, too, and there are quick buttons for setting priority, context, and project.
So far, this is the simplest system I've found. If you run through my first five requirements, it meets them all to my satisfaction.
The power of automation
The last two requirements center around automation and making it easier for me to manage my lists. Once again, because this system centers around 2 plain text files stored in Dropbox, automation becomes a piece of cake. In fact, requirement #6–adding To Do items by email–required no coding at all. Here is how I did it:
- Set up a new email address in my domain specifically for To-Do items.
- Automatically forwarded this email address to my Gmail account.
- Set up a filter in Gmail that labels any email that is sent to the address created in step 1 with the "To Do" label
- Used IFTTT to create a recipe that takes any new Gmail messages labeled "To Do" and appends the subject line of the message to a file in Dropbox–namely the todo.txt file.
So now, if I sent an email to my To Do email address, within a few seconds, it shows up on my To Do list. Of course, I need to format the subject line the same way I would in the command line tool. In the sample I used above, the subject line of the email would look as follows:
Subject: (B) Create process maps for apps SDLC
No message body is required, and indeed, the message body is ignored. But the item gets on my To Do list. This provides a convenient way of allowing my wife to add things to my list.
All that leaves is requirement #7: system has to be able to integrate with Evernote. I did this integration in a couple of places, but most of it did require some coding and the use of at least one additional service. The benefit is that I've automated several things and saved a ton of time in the long run. Here is what has been automated:
- Any note in Evernote that contains an unchecked checkbox and has the text "@todo" in the same line of the checkbox is automatically added to my to-do list.
- Any item in my to-do list that contains "@en" in the text is added to Evernote as it's own note.
- Once each day, any items in my done.txt file that were completed that day are compiled together in a single summary note in Evernote with a Note title: "n Items completed on mm/dd/yyyy"
To create to-do items out of unchecked items in Evernote marked @todo, I made use of GeekNote, a command-line client for Evernote which was a runner-up in the Dev Cup finalists this year. I wrote a perl script that uses GeekNote commands to find any notes created TODAY that have unchecked boxes. I then parse the text of the note looking for lines that contain "@todo." These lines are then appended to the todo.txt file, which syncs up to Dropbox. This script currently runs once a day at around 6pm, after work, because I generally only use those checkboxes in my work meeting notes and phone calls.
I also use GeekNote and a perl script to read through my todo.txt file and identify any To Do items marked "@en". For each one it finds on a given day, it creates a new note in Evernote using the To Do item as the title for the note. This also runs just once a day. I use this for to-do items that I think I need to capture information about beyond the basic action in the future. It's nice to have a single note for the To Do item in these cases, and this provides an automated way of creating them.
Finally, once each night, I have a perl script that finds all items completed in my done.txt file for the day and uses GeekNote to create a single note listing all of the items I completed. This note is given a title of something like "5 items complete on 08/22/2012." It provides a kind of automated diary function so that I can easily see inside Evernote the items I completed on any given day.
This system has worked incredibly well for me in the 10 days or so that I've been using it. I spent a lot less time futzing with apps and complicated list managers and more time actually do the things on my list. The automation has been a huge win for me as well, and the simplicity of the system behind the scenes makes it easy to manage and integrate with other systems, like Evernote.

We all take vacations for different reasons. Here's a few to consider that you might not have thought of before...
Summer has finally arrived, which means time to enjoy the longer evenings and begin the countdown until your holidays. If you've got time booked off but you're not sure how to make the most of your holiday this summer, then read on for our tips.
Consider Medical Tourism
Medical tourism might not be something you've considered before but what better time to have it than during the summer holidays? Turkey hair transplant prices are incredibly low, which means you can have a life changing procedure for considerably less than in the UK or US. If you have been building up the courage to commit to having cosmetic surgery for a while, then take the plunge when you have plenty of time to plan and recover from it. There are many practices in Turkey which have the same high standard of care that you would expect at home.
Go Somewhere New
Even if you haven't got a holiday abroad booked, you can still explore new places near to you. Summer is the best time to take a trip, whether you go with your family, friends or on your own. Why not plan a weekend away somewhere you haven't been before? Or plan a day out exploring a new city to get into the holiday mood and make the most of the good summer weather.
Set a Goal
If you're worried about how quickly your time off is slipping away, try setting up a goal to achieve before the holiday ends. Perhaps you want to go to the gym more or there is a room you want to decorate, whatever it is make sure you have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and how long it will take to complete. Getting up early might not sound like your idea of a holiday but it does make a huge difference to how much you can get done during the day. Even if you want your holiday to be productive make sure that you do take some well-deserved time to relax and do nothing.
Do Things You Enjoy
This sounds obvious but all too often we end up checking our work emails or spending all of our holiday catching up on household chores. Try to make sure set aside time each day to do something you enjoy but never normally have time to do. Perhaps you have an instrument you used to play that is now gathering dust in the corner or you used to go for a run every morning but have been too tired recently. Taking the time to get back into your old hobbies is a great way to make the most of your holidays.
The holidays are the perfect time to reconnect with friends that your schedule is usually too busy to fit in. Perhaps you have friends who have moved away who are long over-due a visit. Make plans well in advance so you definitely have time to catch up. Why not make a day of it and go for a day out? Treat yourself as you are on holiday, after all!
Abby Nicolle, an Australian travel blogger, finding that holidays are the perfect time to reconnect with friends. She loves to make plans with loved ones and enjoy every moment.

Can Pre-Employment Tests Help Candidate Selection?
Companies live and die by the quality of workers they recruit. For this reason, companies over the years have sought out ways to screen applicants in order to select the right candidate(s) for the job.
One way of selecting employees is by the use of pre-employment tests such as skills tests, psychological tests, aptitude tests and personality tests.
Are there benefits in administering tests to applicants? What are the pitfalls involved in pre-employment testing?
Generally, employers use testing to find candidates that are most likely to succeed in a position. To do this, they may test the cognitive abilities and the knowledge of candidates. However, testing presents a variety of issues that the employer must deal with.
Do not include aptitude or skills test as part of your recruitment process on default. Testing usually helps you when you have many applicants or you are recruiting for an organization like a call center. Before administering a test, you should seek legal advice so you don't run afoul of equal opportunity laws.
Your tests should be reliable and valid. A reliable tests would give the same or similar results each time it is administered while a valid test would actually measure what it is meant to measure. Your test should be both valid and reliable and should be related to a job function. For example, is there a need to give a multiple choice numerical test while recruiting a customer service personnel?
If you want to avoid law suits, you must take proper care to make sure your tests are necessary. You should have a documented recruitment policy that outlines the need for the pre-employment tests and the skills, attitudes or requirements those tests measure.
In administering the test, you should ensure that you comply with labor laws. Accommodate people with disabilities by making the tests neutral to their disability. It must be repeated that whatever tests you are administering must test skills relevant for the job.
Tests can help you reduce the number of candidates if you use them as an initial step in the recruitment process. To get the great benefits from pre-employment testing, you should combine them with other assessment methods such as interviews, role plays and assessment centers.
If you want to increase the number of high quality employees in your company, consider using pre-employment tests as an initial screen/selection technique. Pre-employment tests also help you save time and costs. However, you should consult an expert in employment law to help you ensure that your tests are not biased against minority groups.

Humor, Memoirs and Poetry
A Picture of the Past
by Taylor Reese© 2006, 209 pp,.ISBN -13 978-933251-38-7, $16.95, Parkway PublishersMemoirs have
been high on the reading list since the huge success of "Angela's Ashes" and "Tis" a few years ago. More recently, we
read the thinly disguised memoir of Taylor Reese called "From Here To There," the first seventeen years of a North Carolina
farm boy, the son of a tobacco farmer.
Taylor's new book is out--without the disguise. It is an out-and-out memoir of a man who couldn't
manage the intricacies of an old-fashioned hotel switchboard, but who could go on to become president of an international
trade association where he rubbed shoulders with some of the great and mighty; a man who bought an airplane before he knew
how to fly; a man who was at one time a monkey and snake merchant in South America; and, a soldier who served his country
during World War II.
When you meet this man on the street or in the post office, you will never suspect that he is one of the
many dedicated members of our armed forces who sent coded messages to the four corners of the earth during wartime.
The book is an inside look at a time long past; a time we will probably never see again. If you
like a memoir of an ordinary person who is at the same time extraordinary, this is a book--an unassuming memoir--you will
thoroughly enjoy.
HUMOR Is Where You Find ItLook No FurtherbyTaylor Reese© 2004, 168 pp., ISBN: 1-887905-32-4,
Paperback, $12.95. Parkway PublishersA big laugh is good for you, it releases endorphins. Laughter adds to your well-being
and could even lengthen your life--a good laugh is actually better for you than chocolate and it won't rot your teeth.
HUMOR Is Where You Find It is full of short, pithy, clean stories. Some of us don't have time to find a comfortable
armchair for a few hours of reading--some of us have to read on the run. If you are one of these people, this is a book for
you. You will read about riders on a bus who are treated to Reuben's unauthorized presence. You'll meet Janice
Jean and her brothers who go from one wild caper to another, and you'll find a thousand other short funny stories, the
foibles of life. As a Court Reporter, Reese spent years listening. Now he tells some of those stories and other day-to-day
twists we all experience.
Humor and a Little Bit More Here are stories, essays and pithy
quotes that spring from every day life. Like the late Will Rogers, Taylor uses no fancy props. This is Main Street, USA--refreshing
as lemonade in summer or a paddleboat on a quiet river. $12.95, 176 pages, Paperback, Copyright 1999, ISBN 0-9663666-3-8
From Here To ThereA Boy's TalebyTaylor Reese© 2004, 185 pp., ISBN: 1-887905-34-0. $12.95.
Parkway PublishersA memoir is an intimate and personal window into a life. The history into a time and place can be
illuminating but sometimes dry. A memoir, on the other hand, can take you back in time in a way that makes you feel that you
are actually there--a memoir can give you the genuine flavor of the time. From Here To There opens a window on the
first seventeen years of the life of a farm boy from eastern North Carolina. The story pulls back the lid on a time long gone
when cotton was harvested by hand and when Cloverine Salve was the balm for all burns, scrapes, hurts and stings that boys--and
not a few girls--are prone to. This story makes you remember walking in the rain and the feel of mud squishing through your
toes. You may not have experienced an era when we had teachers instead of educators; you may not have had discipline as a
necessary part of the ABCs, but you can be there with a boy who knew those days. Taylor Reese lived on a farm where the work
was so backbreaking that out of six brothers not one stayed on the acreage to follow his father's footsteps. You may
not be able to live such days anymore but you can go there as you read From Here To There.
A Glimpse at Life A Collection of Poetry In a manner
reminiscent of Will Rogers, the poems of Taylor Reese tend to be homespun and down-to-earth. Taylor comes from the farmlands
of rural North Carolina, where people tilled the soil, had faith in the Almighty, and had little time for putting on airs.
This early background shows in his poems.
He sometimes rubs salt into the seams of the insincere and picks at the veneer
of the falsely pious or the hypocrite. Some of his poems may raise your ire, but they will make you think. $12.95, 137 pages,
Paperback, Copyright 2002, ISBN 0-9663666-7-0

Whether you're a true novice or an expert, I'd like to cover a few ideas of men's skincare, which we practice at Beauty Box Man, on a regular basis. Most men think a multi-use product can do everything (as long as it contains charcoal). But the reality of skincare lies somewhere between that and keeping it simple. Due to the sheer volume of product options on the market, skincare can be daunting at best, and confusing at worst. We chose to keep it clean and fuss free at Beauty Box Man Men in general don't want to waste time in figuring out what to use and when. But good skincare is one of the most powerful tools we have against most of the common issue's men face on their faces, acne, wrinkle and sun damage.
It could mean the difference between someone saying "wow "you look great, as opposed to "oh" have you been getting enough sleep. Effective skincare takes more than just washing your face with whatever soap you have lying around and hoping for the best. It takes just a little commitment, consistency and care – but will pay off, without a doubt.
Beginners guide
Building a skincare routine from ground zero, takes only a few simple steps, and you'll be surprised by how much of a difference you'll see after just a few weeks. If you've never washed your face with anything other than soap and never really used moisturiser. Then the following is aimed at you.
Step 1
When we think of clean skin, were conditioned to expect a dry, squeaky clean feeling, that might feel good on your body, but that same feeling on your face is actually bad. It means your skins protective barrier is disrupted, and you've stripped away good oils that keep it moisturised. Instead, use a specific facial cleanser that contains moisturising ingredients. Use it twice a day (morning and night)
Step 2 – Eye cream
Eye cream is like the swiss army knife of a mans skin care routine, it's a simple tool that can fix a whole lot of problems. Dark circles- it can help get rid of them, puffy bags from a great night? It can send them packing. Starting to see wrinkles and fine lines, eye cream can keep you looking fresh. Eye skin is thinner than on the rest of your face, so it needs more concentrated ingredients, and tends to loose moisture quickly and easily, start using an eye cream, morning and night, after cleansing, even if you don't do anything else ( but you should do other stiff too, so keep reading )
Step 3 – Moisturise.
Most men say they don't wear moisturiser because they don't like the way it feels on their face, totally understand, and totally agree…but find a moisturiser you can tolerate, this is why we made our own at Beauty Box Man, to combat all these negative results. We provide a lightweight formula, and easy to fit into your daily routine Wearing a moisturiser at the very least will keep your skin from feeling dry, and help it maintain moisture, that will keep it looking good for years to come.
As we move on in men's skincare, I will devise a plan for intermediate, and advanced levels. But for now, we have covered 3 basic steps
A step we can all take into consideration is SPF (sun protection factor).We should all be wearing a sunscreen every day, ideally a face cream with SPF factor is fabulous, this is why we created one, for efficiency and safety to skin. UV rays from the sun not only cause skin cancer but are also the biggest factor in our skins aging. It's a really good habit to get into

Deaths and infections from HIV and tuberculosis decline sharply in US
Published July 21, 2014
HIV/AIDS deaths dropped from a peak of more than 40,000 in 1995 to around 10,000 in 2013, and TB deaths declined at a rate of 3.7% since 2000. New TB cases are declining faster than the global average, but new HIV/AIDS cases are increasing.
HIV/AIDS deaths dropped from a peak of more than 40,000 in 1995 to around 10,000 in 2013, and TB deaths declined at a rate of 3.7% since 2000. New TB cases are declining faster than the global average, but new HIV/AIDS cases are increasing.
SEATTLE—Today, fewer people are dying from HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis in the United States, according to a new, first-of-its kind analysis of trend data from 188 countries. But while globally the pace of decline in HIV deaths has accelerated since 2000, when the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were established to stop the spread of these diseases by 2015, in the United States, the rate of decline in HIV/AIDS deaths has slowed down.
Published in The Lancet on July 22, the study, "Global, regional, and national incidence and mortality for HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria during 1990–2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013," was conducted by an international consortium of researchers led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington.
To help people understand the findings, IHME released a new Millennium Development Goals Visualization that allows people to compare and contrast progress achieved among 188 countries in meeting each of the health-related MDGs.
Globally, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis kill fewer people than they have in the past, and declines in new cases and deaths from these diseases have accelerated since 2000. Worldwide, deaths from HIV/AIDS declined at a rate of 1.5% between 2000 and 2013, while tuberculosis deaths declined at a rate of 3.7%.
Deaths from HIV/AIDS in the United States decreased by an annualized rate of 2.8% between 2000 and 2013, faster than the global average of 1.5%, and far slower than the 10.2% decline in deaths from 1990 to 2000. Deaths from tuberculosis unrelated to HIV infection dropped at a slightly faster rate (4%) than the global average (3.7%) between 2000 and 2013.
After adjusting for differences in population size and ages across time, the researchers found that 10 out of every 100,000 people in the United States were living with tuberculosis in 2013. In the country, there were approximately five new cases of tuberculosis per 100,000 people in 2013. In comparison, 145 out of every 100,000 people in the US were infected with HIV/AIDS and there were eight new infections per 100,000 in 2013.
In the United States, new cases of HIV and deaths from the disease were primarily concentrated in males. In 2013, there were 7,694 deaths from HIV in males compared to 2,503 in women. For tuberculosis in the United States, there were 630 deaths in males and 403 in females in 2013. Similarly, new cases and deaths from HIV and tuberculosis are more common in males at the global level.
At 2.9 per 100,000, death rates from HIV/AIDS in the United States were far lower than the global average of 18.5 per 100,000. For comparison, the death rate from HIV/AIDS in Mexico was higher at 3 per 100,000 but far lower in the United Kingdom at 0.34 per 100,000.
"The United States was one of the first countries to address HIV/AIDS through a range of programs, and it saw rapid declines in mortality after the peak of the epidemic in the mid-1990s," said Dr. Christopher Murray, IHME Director and one of the study's authors. "But we know we can do better. With more than 25,000 people becoming infected with the disease in 2013, we know that efforts to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS still are falling short."
Researchers found that greater access to treatment is needed as well. Globally, in 2013, there were nearly 30 million people living with HIV, 1.8 million new infections, and 1.3 million deaths from the disease. At the peak of the epidemic in 2005, HIV caused 1.7 million deaths. Global HIV incidence peaked in 1997 with 2.8 million new infections and has declined since the peak at 2.7% per year.
The study reveals substantial changes to previous understanding of HIV epidemics. In Latin America and Eastern Europe, HIV epidemics are substantially smaller than previously estimated – while in some countries, like the Philippines, the crisis is actually much bigger.
This updated analysis shows some notable differences when compared to the GBD 2010 study, and new estimates were found to be lower than previous estimates. Estimated HIV deaths in Latin American countries such as Peru, Venezuela, and Colombia were reduced by more than two-thirds in 2010. In the same year, the population of people living with HIV in Eastern and Central Europe was found to be over 60% smaller than previously estimated, highlighted by a 69% decrease in Russia.
Improvements in IHME's methodology revealed that cumulatively, countries identified as having concentrated epidemics had 39% fewer deaths and 53% fewer people living with HIV. In contrast, deaths in countries with generalized epidemics increased by 23%, and the HIV-infected populations were slightly higher by 3%.
With progress in reducing HIV at the global level, success in particular countries and regions varies as the HIV epidemic has peaked and declined at different times.
Regionally, the burden of HIV is concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa. Prevalence levels are highest in Botswana, Lesotho, and Swaziland (above 12,000 per 100,000 people). HIV rates in Botswana, for example, are 15 times higher than in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and 40 times higher than in Niger.
Researchers found similar variation in other regions. In Southeast Asia, HIV rates are substantially higher in Thailand and Papua New Guinea. HIV rates are relatively high in parts of Europe and Central Asia (Portugal, Spain, Ukraine, Russia, and Kazakhstan) and in Latin America and the Caribbean (Panama, Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, Guyana, Suriname, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and the Bahamas) where prevalence levels exceed 220 per 100,000.
"The global investment in HIV treatment is saving lives at a rapid clip," Dr. Murray said. "But the quality of antiretroviral programs varies widely. In order to reduce HIV-related deaths even further, we need to learn from the best programs and do away with the worst ones."
"The gains made in these three important MDG 6 targets are quite exciting. It will be especially interesting to see if the development of additional control tools such as new drugs and vaccines might accelerate the progress seen to date," said Dr. Peter Hotez, Dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital.
Earlier and more effective treatment has also helped shorten the duration of TB infections worldwide.
However, the authors note that aging of the population will lead to higher numbers of cases and deaths. In both the United States and at the global level, the bulk of tuberculosis deaths tend to occur in older age groups.
TB rates globally have declined between 2000 and 2013 due largely to progress in two regions: East and South Asia. In South Asia, which accounts for almost half of TB deaths, mortality rates declined annually by 4.2% during this period. In East Asia, death rates fell annually by 7.5%.
When looking at death rates that are age-standardized, meaning they were adjusted for differences in population size and ages over time and across countries, the highest rates for TB are in east and central sub-Saharan Africa (Lesotho, Somalia, and Burundi all had over 150 deaths per 100,000 in 2013).
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent global health research organization at the University of Washington that provides rigorous and comparable measurement of the world's most important health problems and evaluates the strategies used to address them. IHME makes this information widely available so that policymakers have the evidence they need to make informed decisions about how to allocate resources to best improve population health.

Attention: General Counsel
14. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in whole or in part at any time to any entity without your notice or consent. Any purported assignment by you in violation of this section shall be void.
15. Term and Termination of Agreement
These Terms are effective until terminated by you or Tarjimly as described below. Your rights under these Terms will terminate automatically with or without notice from Tarjimly if you fail to comply with any of these Terms (including by violating any license restriction contained in these Terms). In addition, Tarjimly may in its sole discretion terminate your user account on the Service or suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time without notice. We also reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Service at any time (including by limiting or discontinuing certain features of the Service) without notice to you. We will have no liability whatsoever on account of any change to the Service or any suspension or termination of your access to or use of the Service. You may terminate these Terms at any time by closing your account, and ceasing use of the Service.
16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
16.1 Disputes
Tarjimly is not a party to, has no involvement or interest in, makes no representations or warranties as to, and has no responsibility or liability with respect to any communications, transactions, interactions, disputes or any relations whatsoever between you and any other user, any Translator or other third party. Disputes between a user and Tarjimly are subject to this Section 17.
In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Tarjimly in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Tarjimly agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND Tarjimly ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
16.2 Exceptions
Despite the provisions of the paragraph directly above, we both agree that nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to: Bring an individual action in small claims court; Pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; Seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or To file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
16.3 Arbitrator
Any arbitration between you and Tarjimly will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Tarjimly at support tarjimly.org.
16.4 Notice Process
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or if we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail ("Notice").
40 Royal Oak Ct
Mountain View, CA 94040
Attention: General Counsel
The Notice must:
Describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute
Set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand")
We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Tarjimly may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Tarjimly must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
If our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Tarjimly will pay you the highest of the following:
The amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any
The last written settlement amount offered by Tarjimly in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator's award or $1,000
16.5 Fees
If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Tarjimly will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Francisco County, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted:
Solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator
Through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or
By an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address
If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Tarjimly for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.
The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
16.6 No Class Actions
YOU AND Tarjimly AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Tarjimly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
16.7 Modifications
If Tarjimly makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Tarjimly' address for Notice), you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Tarjimly' address for Notice, in which case your account with Tarjimly will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, will survive.
16.8 Enforceability
If Section 16.7 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 16 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 16 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 20 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
17. Modification of these Terms
We reserve the right to update or modify the Terms at any time without prior notice, and such changes will be effective immediately upon being posted through the Service, except as set forth below. These Terms identify the date of last update. Your use of the Service following any such change constitutes your agreement to be bound by the modified Terms of Service. In the case of material changes to these Terms, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the change, such as through sending an email to any address you may have used to register for an account, through a pop-up window on the Service, or other similar mechanism.
Material changes to these Terms will be effective upon the earlier of:
Your first use of the Service with actual notice of such change, or
30 days from posting of such change.
Disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved in accordance with the version of the Terms in place at the time the dispute arose. We encourage you to review these Terms frequently to stay informed of the latest modifications.
18. General
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms, you and Tarjimly agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within San Francisco County, California for the purpose of litigating any dispute. We operate the Service from our offices in California, and we make no representation that materials included in the Service are appropriate or available for use in other locations. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you, Tarjimly or any third-party provider as a result of the Terms or use of the Service.

DGaming, a technology company that seeks to push the decentralized gaming industry towards mass adoption, has announced the release of a decentralized wallet specifically designed for gamers. The wallet is immediately available to iOS users on the App Store and Android users on Google Play.
The DGaming Wallet forms part of a suite of tools and solutions being created by DGaming to push the decentralized gaming industry towards mass adoption. While the industry has shown early promise, its growth has started to stagnate as it seeks to expand beyond its current audience into the mainstream market. One of the key stumbling blocks is accessibility for mainstream players, something that DGaming, with The DGaming Store and The DGaming Wallet, is aiming to solve.
The DGaming Wallet is a mobile application that helps decentralized gamers manage cryptocurrency and in-game assets. They can send and receive their ERC721 and ERC20 tokenized assets conveniently and securely. Users can also send, store, and receive Ethereum (ETH), with support for other cryptocurrencies to follow. The Android version includes an in-built DApp browser so gamers can play games in the same place they store their assets.
"We have made an immense effort to get The DGaming Wallet into the App Stores. Firstly, it's unprecedented that a decentralized gaming-related solution is being published. Moreover, we are targeting a broad audience with our development, helping fresh players enter the DGaming industry without any extra effort. The application is as simple to use as a mobile banking app, and has a slick design," said Chief Business Development Officer, Marina Shim.
While it's the design of the app that is its current strong-point, DGaming believes the features they have in development will make this the wallet that gamers should invest their time in.
"We're building a wallet specifically designed for crypto gamers. This means it will include evident features such as managing game items, a DApp browser on Android, and support for the most popular gaming blockchains. We're working to introduce some exciting features that, although technically challenging to create, will make this the go-to wallet for gamers," said blockchain expert and DGaming's Chief Technology Officer Vasiliy Shapovalov.
The DGaming Wallet can be downloaded from the Apple App Store. It's also available for Android users from the Google Play Store.
For further information, please contact DGaming Head of Growth Management, Max Tesla at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Clerks, secretaries, service reps and others earning $30,000 to $80,000 a year fell from 52% to 46% of workers from 2002 to 2006, according to a new report. The trend threatens the region's upward-mobility track, one author of the 2008 Index of Silicon Valley report said: "If you lose the middle, it's harder to support the top." The report did offer good news for the region. It is outpacing the nation in overall job gains, partly due to a rise in median household income and international talent flowing into the state. But a 4% rise in low-wage jobs still highlights a growing workplace divide in the nation's tech capital. (Read more Silicon Valley stories.) See 3 photos Report an error

Legal procurement having 'profound, lasting' impact, survey says
New findings from the United States show the substantial impact of legal procurement on the bottom line of a business.
Procurement is having a "profound and lasting impact" on the purchase of legal services for the world's largest companies, according to the US-based Buying Legal Council.

Launching its new survey, the 2018 "Buying Legal Services Survey – Insights into Legal Procurement", the Council examined the purchasing behaviour of 153 legal procurement professionals, focusing on purchasing decisions, cost control, analyses and trends.
The survey results showed, ultimately, that legal procurement is changing the way companies do business.
With procurement's involvement, companies save 14.6 per cent of legal spend, and when procurement is well-aligned and works in tandem with the in-house legal team, companies save an average of 21 per cent.
Reflecting on the survey results, Council executive director Dr Silvia Hodges Silverstein said clients are now equipped with tools and data, and with senior management's backing, legal procurement has gained significant traction.
"When procurement teams pair with the general counsel and legal department, the costs go down and the effectiveness goes up," she explained.
"The survey shows the savings can be measured in the hundreds of millions of dollars."
Further, the survey demonstrates that legal procurement "is no longer an unchartered territory", the Council proclaimed, with the majority of legal spend now under some form of review and active spend management.
Relationship-only business approaches to buying and selling legal services is now a minority, the Council noted, having been replaced by a professional, business-driven approach to service bartering.
For law firms and in-house legal teams, the pressure is thus greater than ever. It is both a threat and an opportunity for the legal profession, the Council noted.
"Winners will respond and deliver better results at lower costs," it said in a statement.
In light of this, the Council said, now is the time to begin investing in the procurement journey, for those who haven't yet done so.
"It takes time to drive value: quick stints in the legal category are insufficient," the Council concluded.
"Legal procurement professionals contribute the most after five years of buying legal services."

An Evening Walk Through History
The first of the 2012 series is on Tuesday, June 5. Stuart Dempsey tells about "Carroll's Brigade at Gettysburg".
Col. Samuel Carroll had a reputation as an agressive combat soldier, and so did the men under his command. By the summer of 1863 the four regiments of his 'Gibraltar Brigade' had already proven themselves on many battlefields, and they would do so again at Gettysburg. The tour will investigate the role of the 8th Ohio in front of Cemetery Ridge, as well as the timely counter attack executed by the rest of this hard-fighting brigade on East Cemetery Hill. The total walking distance of this tour is approximately 1.5 miles for the round trip, including some inclines.
Cost is $30 per person (buy 6 and get one free; buy 12 and get 2 free). For more information contact:
The Brickhouse Inn is the perfect place to stay when you come to Gettysburg, PA.
