Key Findings
- 65% of under-24s were defined as having the "Digital Lifestyles" trait - a label that also represented more than half of those under 44, before dropping away among the over-50s.
- Just over a third of consumers feel nervous when theyre without a Smartphone to remain "connected."
- The online channel is vital in distribution, considering that 45% of consumers identified with the Digital Consumption trait - meaning that they prefer to buy goods and services online.
Standard demographic analysis often fails to reveal sufficiently deep insight into consumer behavior and the motivations behind this. We have produced an attitudinally based segmentation of the consumer market, and have used this to examine the market for key financial products. One of the eight key attitudinal groups is the focus of this brief: Digital Lifestyles. There are two ways in which Digital Lifestyles can be viewed in consumers approach to their services: being uncomfortable without a Smartphone to remain "connected," and being most comfortable online. Its from these two facets that the following trends within our model are derived: Always Connected and Digital Consumption.

Russian Fitness Model Stefan Chapovskiy
My name is Stefan Chapovskiy. I live in Saint Petersburg, Russia. I am personal trainer in fitness and bodybuilding (I graduated from the College named after Ben Weider; I have a diploma of international type); also I am fitness model. I take part in amateur competitions for natural athletes.
Sometimes, I act in films. All of these and many other I achieved thanks to natural bodybuilding. And I made it the style of my life. I would like to tell a bit how did it happen to me.
I came to sport rather early. In the age of eight, I visited a group in swimming; in ten I went to track and field athletics; in twelve I visited a shooting section. It had no influence to my appearance; I was very skinny teenager with thin bones and fast metabolism. At that age I was indifferent to the look of my figure. The situation changed at the age of thirteen. It was a period when the first tapes with action movies from Hollywood came to our city. First of all, there was a fashion on the movies about martial arts. And they determined my choice of the next kind of sport. I went to a section of taekwondo. Two year there didn't give me a special athletic look, but they strengthened my spirit, provided good stretching and self-defense skills. Nevertheless, it was just a prelude for the main thing. In 1992, I went to bodybuilding. It happened soon after the acquaintance with the film "Rambo" which impressed me very much. Sylvester Stallone became a cult figure for me for many years. And his movie characters Rambo and Rocky were sources of the strongest motivation for me.
So, I began my training. I was fifteen years old, 170 cm tall and my weight was about 50 kg. I understood that I had not particular genetic for that kind of sport. But fire was burning in my soul; or, if it was sang in a sound-track of "Rocky-3", I had "eyes of the tiger". I trained regularly and intensely (though in an unskillful way).
For the first year, I have trained myself at home, looking at the posters with Stallone which I set on the walls of my room. For the next two years, I went to a sports' hall. By the age of eighteen, I achieved the weight of 70 kg and grew up to 183 cm; my strength grew, too. But the progress became slower; then, it has stopped for three years. Nevertheless, I couldn't imagine my life without bodybuilding and I still kept trainings.
My fellows with whom I began to train have already quit this activity or left a natural way and began to use steroids for visual progress. But I read special literature and was a staunch opponent of anabolic. From the other side, I didn't want to yield to those who used such a dishonest way.
So, I began my experiments with methods of training; I worked with my head not with muscles only. I analyzed my training and found many mistakes in it. Got rid of them, I came to the right way which provided my second birth in bodybuilding. For the following years I grew extremely fast and strengthened myself. There was a moment when my weight reached 107 kg and in some volumes I surpassed some steroid and unskillful bodybuilders training aside. Then, it was a time to consider the quality of my muscles and methods of killing fat. An impetus was my desire to take part in an amateur competition. It wasn't enough to be huge in muscles; a relief shape and good proportions were necessary. Participants trained aside, in the same hall; some of them surpassed me in genetic, others used steroids.
I had to unite all the best of my former experience: fanatic possession of my first years of training, skillful approach to the methods of training and something new. I began to study thoroughly sporting dietetics, analyzed a great amount of data ad worked out a special diet with a schedule in hours; I also used such additions as protein, amino acids, vitamins and microelements. As a result, at the competition I demonstrated the best aesthetics of muscles and the quality of relief. My self-esteem has grown radically. And next year, when I received an invitation from the U.S.A., I decided to make an attempt which was much more than my initial dreams to take part in a competition of new talents in Hollywood as a fitness model. During a year I worked hard to prepare myself for it. First of all, I got mass of my body, then, for 2.5 months, I used low carbohydrates diet and two weeks without carbohydrates at all; but I still didn't use any prohibited chemicals I didn't use even ephedrine.
When I came to California, in the night before the competition, I couldn't sleep. I went for a walk on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and found there the star of Sylvester Stallone. For me, his fan from Russia, who went so far, it was a really magic place. And at the moment I understood that I would have to win. Next day it happened, I won in the category fitness model. I dedicated this achievement to Stallone (I wish I could say it to him!). And who knows what new adventures, travels and meetings are waiting for me in the future. I am sure that I won't stop at the achieved level. I don't know where I'll be in a year or two, but in 10 years and more I will profess the way of natural bodybuilding and associate new people to this wonderful kind of sport.
Age - 31
Favorite exercise - crossover
Favorite body part to train - arms
Hobbies - acting in films, travelling, and fishing.
Training philosophy - It is necessary to set a high goal. Not an unrealizable one for a natural athlete as a victory in the competition "Mister Olympia", but rather serious to mobilize all the inner resources and to go all out. As a result, one can pass far on the way to this goal even if he doesn't reach it absolutely.
And one more favorite trick which is good for those who like role models of the old school". In my player there are many soundtracks from old brave action movies with Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Van Damme. I am training with these songs, I identify myself with one or another character, and my motivation is growing up to the heaven together with my results.

text: Recently I had to take out my Vista drive and pit it into a holder where now it is like an external drive. I want to boot that drive but when I attach it to my new computer (64 bit Windows 8.1) it doesn't boot. I really want to run that drive again and while I can see all the data on that drive , it doesn't run. Therefore no applications work. Is there a way to make that drive a Bootable drive with my new 64 bit machine? ?? It was a Bootable drive before when it was in the other laptop. So why won't it boot when it is plugged into a USB port. I see it starts to boot but than up comes a back &white screen that wants you to chose various ways to start (safe mode etc).but none of them works and the computer reboots and wants to forget about that USB drive....

The future in a single word: downsizing. Downsizing is going to be popular, hip, cool, fashionable and sensible. People are going to be proud of their small houses…their small cars…their low-impact vacations…and their modest spending.
More than that…people are going to turn against money. Yes, you heard that right. Lucre is going to be filthy again. No, we're not going to explain…just remember our words.
Last week, in the International Herald Tribune , we saw a photo of a town that had been burned and destroyed in Kenya.
"Yes, there's almost a civil war going on," explained a lawyer we met yesterday. "I lived for many years in Kenya. There are different tribes there who don't get along with each other. Barack Obama's father is from Kenya. It's his tribe that does most of the killing."
But what was remarkable about the photo was the caption beneath it: "Investors hope calm will soon be restored."
Today, practically every story is a money story. The casual reader is expected to be interested not in the fate of the people…the wailing of widows…the political evolution of the country…the religious or tribal aspects…the effectiveness of the local fire department…the rhetorical appeal of the local demagogues…or anything else. The reader's primary concern is thought to be the money angle. "Gee, now that Kenya is in flames," he supposedly thinks to himself, "maybe I should move my 401k money out of the All-Africa Fund."
Speaking of downsizing, India's Tata Motors just downsized the family car. Yesterday, it took the drapes off its new Nano – which it has put on the market for just $2,500. The photo makes it look like a slightly stretched Smart Car. Not bad really. As far as we know, the vehicle is only for sale in India, but if it were on the lots in the United States, we predict that it would find plenty of buyers. The little can gets 50 mpg
Our London colleague Merryn Somerset Webb has written a book for women: Love is Not Enough: A Smart Woman's Guide to Making (and Keeping) Money . The book has been a big hit in England, with sensible advice on everything from credit ratings to credit crunches. It's now available in paperback; just follow this link:
Back in the U.S.A, meanwhile, old friend Michael Masterson, has a new book out – Ready Fire Aim . It's taken the number one slot on Amazon already. When it comes to starting businesses and making them work properly, Masterson is the best…in fact, he's the real brains behind our own publishing business.
Here's the link to find out more about his new book.

Foster's takeover speculation
The Foster's takeover speculation was the big talking point today, as a wine glut and marketing issues in Europe saw Rosemount earnings fall by 23 per cent.
TranscriptALI MOORE: Straight to the markets now. The Foster's takeover speculation was the big talking point today. The All Ords gained 38 points. In Japan, the Nikkei rose for the first time in five sessions, but trade was thin. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was up almost 1 per cent, with strong buying of index heavyweight, China Mobile. The Dow, of course, opened shortly at last night's close of 11,352. Pre-market trading points to another rise. Speculation, today, of a potential takeover of Foster's coincided with the beer and wine group's better than expected profit. The result $1.1 billion, despite declining wine sales. The takeover talk and the higher earnings saw the company's share price soar 9 per cent, as Bridget Glanville reports.
BRIDGET GLANVILLE: Foster's is now much more than just a beer company. As well as owning beers such as VB, Foster's also owns Southcorp, including labels Lindemanns, Penfolds and Rosemount. But the move into wine has been the big problem. A wine glut and marketing issues in Europe saw Rosemount earnings fall by 23 per cent. The company is now spending millions of dollars relaunching the famous wine brand.
JAMIE ODELL: We've returned Rosemount to its original proposition, the territory that made it such a famous and successful brand in the 90s. The taste, the look and feel, the language, all reflect modern, sophisticated style. The new Rosemount compliments the more traditional brands in our portfolio.
BRIDGET GLANVILLE: Foster's recorded a profit of $1.1 billion, up 26 per cent on last year. But the company has had to cut costs to get there. It sold the Foster's brand in Europe and India, and its breweries in Asia.
ANGUS GEDDES: They've really been working in a couple of areas. They've been trying to streamline their asset base, they have sold off a lot of their capital intensive breweries, realised a lot of cash, and applied that to reducing debt within the balance sheet. They've also worked very hard at integrating Southcorp, which they took over last year. They've worked very hard at, sort of, bidding that acquisition down.
BRIDGET GLANVILLE: Foster's now wants to continue to reduce its debt, and has plans for a share buyback. The company says it's a great achievement, given the $3 billion wine acquisition just over 12 months ago. But some analysts aren't so sure.
ANGUS GEDDES: The share buyback probably is a signal, really, to the market that I think Foster's management believe that the stock is actually cheap. They may be worried about some of these perpetual rumours in the marketplace that an international predator could suddenly appear on their register.
BRIDGET GLANVILLE: It seems the idea of a predator appeals to investors. The share price rose 9 per cent on speculation that a foreign buyer is about to make its move on the Australian icon.
ALI MOORE: Bridget Glanville reporting. I'll be speaking to Foster's CEO, Trevor O'Hoy, a little later in the program.
News of the Foster's speculation has, not surprisingly, reached one of its biggest markets, Europe. Earlier I spoke to Justin Urquart Stewart, a director at 7 Investment Management in London.
Justin Urquart Stewart, thank you very much for joining us. The big news locally today has been Foster's, the world's second largest wine company. That takeover speculation has reached you as well?
JUSTIN URQUART-STEWART: It has indeed. So far, though it is only speculation. No one has actually come out and said there is going to be a firm bid coming through. But mutter from the gutter is actually coming up with either Interbrew, which is a Belgian based brewery combine, or SAB Miller, which is the old South African Breweries that is now on the UK market, the London market here, but then bought into Miller and has been a very aggressive purchaser in Eastern Europe and also in Asia. So it would be quite logical for them to go after Foster's, if there is any truth in the rumour.
ALI MOORE: Indeed SAB Miller has already bought some of the Foster's assets.
JUSTIN URQUART-STEWART: It has indeed. So it will be interesting to see if they wanted to go after any more, particularly, of course, as Foster's has been going through this major change. Still, some of the beer assets would be very attractive, certainly, to SAB, but also the wineries as well, because of the possibility of being able to on sell that. They think there will be some good buyers for it. But it will be interesting to see if there is anything coming of that, because obviously that part of the business has had some problems for some time.
ALI MOORE: Indeed they have. What about the broader market today? How is the FTSE travelling after yesterday's holiday?
JUSTIN URQUART-STEWART: We were closed yesterday, the US was open, so on the back of the US, and, frankly, with very limited volume because most people are still on holidays, actually we've seen a little bit of improvement, but nothing particularly strong. We're looking, really, for this afternoon's figures coming out of the states, where we're going to be looking at consumer figures. Those consumer confidence figures are absolutely crucial. It's 65 per cent of the US economy, and if the US consumer decides that they've actually had enough and they've run out of money, because we know they don't save and their debt levels are getting pretty high, then that will be bad news for the US economy. What's bad news for the US economy, inevitably is bad news for the rest of us.
ALI MOORE: Indeed, on the thin trade, I presume things will get back to normal next week; end of the holiday season?
JUSTIN URQUART-STEWART: Yes, we have a phrase over here which is, "Sell in May and go away and don't come back until St Ledger Day," and being in the stock market, of course, the St Ledger is actually a race at Doncaster. That takes place in a couple of weeks time and that's when everyone is back from their holidays. It does not mean the market goes up, but it means the volumes will certainly go up. In fact we regard this as a season of storms now, where we start seeing much more financial volatility, not just meteorological volatility. Late September and October are always nervous times for investors. With the markets looking rather nervous at the moment, I suspect this year is going to be no different.
ALI MOORE: September, October around the world, a nervous time. Thank you very much for bringing us up to date.
JUSTIN URQUART-STEWART: Pleasure.

I have officially decided that I will be committing to the University of Georgia #CommitToTheG #Fam15 ?? pic.twitter.com/0Czuwg0gKR— (@SageHardin75) June 27, 2014
Three-star Marist OL Sage Hardin picked Georgia on Friday over a slew of schools including Vriginia and Cal. Hardin's commitment moves Georgia up to #8 in Scout.com's national recruiting rankings. It is the Bulldogs' 13th commitment of the year.
Hardin didn't have an offer from Georgia until two days after the Mark Richt Camp in June. That came just before a trip to the west coast to visit both Cal and Stanford. The Mark Richt Camp was set up as a tryout of sorts for Hardin.
He seemed to get a heavy amount of reps during drills, and held his own even though he seemed exhausted.
"He battled. Mark Richt, Will Friend, and Tracy Rocker worked Hardin and watched his every rep it seemed," Scout.com recruiting analyst Chad Simmons said. "They really pushed him until he couldn't go anymore."
The criticism of Hardin is that he plays for a school that runs an option-based offense – Marist. The War Eagles rarely throw the ball, so that means Hardin will have to develop not just physically, but in pass protection as well.
"He is still learning pass protection and struggled there at times," Simmons said. "But he is athletic, flexible and smart. His upside seems high, but Hardin needs time to develop his technique and physically."

Name: £428.
Age: Venerable, though probably neither older nor younger than £427 or £429.
Appearance: Haemorrhaging from your bank account right now to pay for yachts, designer slacks and high-end handbags for vulgar but rich "financial experts".
What are you on about? £428 is the sum the average Brit loses annually thanks to not understanding financial jargon. For instance, 32% of us don't know what the word "budget" means.
Morons. It's a supermarket, right? I know a lot about money me: why only the other day I spent some. By the way, what was that funky new emoticon after "32"? It stands for percentage.
What will they think of next? OK, let's test your knowledge of personal finance. What are EARs?
The big flappy things either side of an elephant's trunk? Clown. It's an acronym for Equivalent Annual Rate – 61% of Britons surveyed by the Money Advice Service didn't know either. Right – what is interest?
What I'm losing as you keep asking me these questions. Fair enough – 32% misunderstood the term too. What about ISA?
Oooh, oooh I know this. He's the Cameroonian frontman Brendan Rodgers snapped up in the transfer window? No, it's another acronym.
Intravenous Shareholder Aqualung? Impacted Shoulder Ailment? Iranian Sexypants Army? Nope, give up. It stands for Individual Savings Account.
I've got one of those. Wait, my mistake – thought you said overdraft. Definitely got one of those. They're ideal for keeping your money in, aren't they? Like posh socks, really. How about AER?
Easy – 1990s French duo who made Sexy Boy and Kelly Watch the Stars. Bit derivative of krautrock. No, it was a trick question – it means Annual Equivalent Rate – just like EAR. You're like so many financially illiterate Britons: 52% of those surveyed didn't even know what a loan was – even though a fifth of us has one. And 84% of UK adults do not read the full terms and conditions before taking out a financial product!
To be fair most of terms and conditions are only slightly less boring than Alex Ferguson's autobiography. True, Just as well finance lessons are to be part of the national curriculum.
Yes, it's great we've got a national curriculum for all the homeless little fishes and orphan sharks. You're thinking of an aquarium, you idiot.
Don't say: "I always use a spreadsheet – it keeps the wasps from landing on my pop tarts."
Do say: "I always use a spreadsheet – it helps me sensibly diversify my investment portfolio, optimise my incomings and outgoings and, best of all, helps me maximise my smugness."

Question: After a wonderful summer holiday in the UK, we have fallen in love with the idea of living in the countryside and commuting to London to work. We want to build our home or refurbish an old property. Our ideal plot is around one acre in a private probably semi-rural setting. We are aiming for a 3,000 to 4,000 square foot house with separate garage.
© Weef
One of the main reasons for our move is to get away from the confines of suburban living and not be overlooked by neighbours. We desperately want more space around us. We would prefer to build upwards rather than to have a basement floor. We like high ceilings and well-proportioned rooms and large windows.
We realise that we may have to pay quite a lot for the land as we have chosen such a prime location, but this is the one thing we don't want to compromise on. Can you help us?
Answer: I certainly can help you build your dream home in the countryside. The London commuter belt is a very popular location. And landowners tend to build several properties on an acre of land, further pushing up the price of a plot of that size. So be warned that prices will be very high.
Rather, focus on designing the new building in such a way that privacy is provided by avoiding any parts being overlooked. Landscaping can have a big impact on privacy too.
You may have to take the risk of only obtaining planning consent on purchase, or you could look for a change of use, such as converting an old pub, office or barn. Planning regulations have relaxed recently, so local authorities are required to work out future housing needs in their area, and allocate sufficient land to meet it, with the "presumption in favour of sustainable development".
This does not only refer to the environment, but also economic and social sustainability, so to help your development you would need to be able to prove a positive contribution to all three.
This is very often called 'Smart Growth', an urban planning and transportation theory that concentrates growth in areas with walkable, bicycle-friendly land use, including neighbourhood schools, complete streets, shops and a range of housing choices.
Many councils have been asked to release part of their green belt land. You can contact the planning authorities and ask them where the most recent changes have been made.
Please be aware of the green belt fraudsters online. Four people were recently convicted of selling small plots of green belt land to unsuspecting buyers, falsely claiming they could be built on, and received jail terms of between six and seven years. So, always check with the local planning authority that it is true.
There are very few deals to be found with estate agents so try other avenues, such as local newspapers, word of mouth and property auctions, some of which are held at savills.co.uk and allsop.co.uk. Better still, visit the areas you like and ask people in person if they wish to sell.

Ari & Mia, Boston's Americana sister act, are a soulful and spirited acoustic accompanied duo exploring the traditions of Southern Appalachia, Northeastern fiddle music, and the realm where their own compositions cross paths with older traditions. Their hearts also lie with early American swing and jazz music. Combine this with their bold approach to song and tune-writing and their interpretations of traditional music and the result will open hearts and dance floors. Ari & Mia's "intricate arrangements, soaring harmonies, infectious grooves and intuitive improvisations combine an old-time sensibility with a truly adventurous spirit," says Hankus Netsky of New England Conservatory.

Cost-cutting to hit mining jobs,state revenues in Congo- chamber
KINSHASA Aug 27 (Reuters) - Expected cost-cutting measures by mining companies in Democratic Republic of Congo are likely to lead to layoffs and reduce government revenues amid a sharp decline in metals prices, the country's chamber of mines said in a report.
Copper production is expected to slip slightly this year due to power shortages, said the report seen by Reuters on Thursday. Gold production would increase 33.5 percent in 2015, surpassing 26 tonnes, as new mines ramp up output, it added. (Reporting By Aaron Ross; Editing by Joe Bavier)

On ESPN2.
He just pitched the first, two quick outs, two singles, and then ended the inning with no runs scoring.
ASU with one in and two on in their half of the first, only one out.
All I care about are his mechanics and how long he's out there. If he really does have tendinitis he may try to overthrow to compensate which wouldn't be good.
He looked pretty decent in the first, smoother than the other night.
No idea what the real story is with his health, but he's pitching, so cross fingers.
Leake through two innings, 3 hits allowed, no runs, 4 Ks. Pitching in the third now. 1-0 ASU lead.
1-2 pitch looked like strike at the knees, called a ball. Then next pitch a HR.
1-1 game top of 3rd.
ASU up 2-1 heading into the 5th. Leake much better, obviously, on this evening than he was on Tuesday night. 5 Ks, I think, for Leake, through four innings. He's allowed one walk.
Huh. ASU manager is being interviewed, and acknowledges that Leake is not 100%. Acknowledges he is pitching through tendenitis.
Ack. ACK.
4 1P 5 hits, 1 earned run, 1 walk, 5 Ks so far.
Announcers assure us that Pat Murphy, the ASU manager, "cares deeply" for Mike Leake. Uh huh.
Leadoff double for Texas off Leake to start the 5th.
When the Reds sign Leake, they need to put a big bag of ice on his arm and tell them they will see him in February.
Sac moves runner to third. One down, runner on third.
Announcers talking about how badly Leake wanted to pitch tonight to make up for the other night.
And, something that he should have been told, "no, we got your back". Instead, they run him out there on short rest with an arm that is apparently not 100%. I don't get amatuer coaches sometimes.
2-2 game on a single.
Leake looks tired to me, his pitches are elevated and hanging.

Now the sideline reporter talking about how Leake is "short-arming" breaking balls to help with the pain.
What part of any of this sounds good to anyone?
Murphy goes to mound, conference, and they leave him out there.
The issue is reportedly "tricep tendenitis".
Double weeeeeeeee.
Leake picks up his 6th K and then a ground out to SS ends the inning.
2-2 game after five.
Leake's a gamer. That's good, I suppose. Not smart, I would mention, but, hey. It's not my career.

Nail Garden opened their first salon five years ago, and since then they have grown so much that they have already 5 locations in SoCal and they will be opening at least 3 more in the beginning of 2014.
I had never been at any of their locations but I have heard wonders from other friends and now I understand why. Their service is great. You are greeter as soon as you walk in and they offer you water, coffee and even hot chocolate (from their fancy machine). The salon is clean and very organized.

|Ship Quality
|The ship is new, but the carpet is dirty in the public areas. The windows are dirty. Fortunately, our cabin steward appeared to be better than most.
|Food and Dining
|Freestyle dining is horrible. One can make reservations for the dining, but they are useless. A reservation is simply one's scheduled time to come stand in line for the cafeteria food. Even with reservations, we had to wait in line for 45 minutes. People were complaining; some were arguing with the crew and the crew was arguing back. After that my husband refused to try to eat in the Grand Pacific or Alizar, and I hated the Aloha Nui Cafe. We were on vacation, and the dining situation was just too stressful for us. There are speciality resturants on board, cost about $20. per person, plus taxes, tips, and any other costs for drinks, etc. Even with the added cost, the service is still not as good as what one receives with other cruise lines for free. The added cost of the speciality restaurants really bothered my husband, when we had to pay and still did not get as good of food or service as other cruise lines. We didn't choose the cruise for the food, but the food was bad.
|Service and Staff
|Other than our cabin steward, the crew was very indifferent. The crew appeared to be poorly trained. Oftentimes, we were given misinformation. On other cruises, we have purchased photos, but our pictures were not good this time, i.e., eyes closed, awkward posing, etc.
This is the first cruise ship that we have ever been on that we were unable to find anywhere to dance, before midnight, and that's too late for us. I called the front desk to ask where we could dance. I was told, "Midnight...." I turned in a complaint card requesting if there is nothing available before midnight, at least put on a dance CD, instead of lounge music, and let us use the floor. I also asked for a call back, which I didn't receive. I quickly learned on this cruise that the entertainment is the view from our balcony and off the ship. There were in-rooom movies. There is little entertainment, except the movies, and I didn't go on a cruise to watch movies; I can do that at home.
There were onboard AA meetings, which I liked since the Freestyle Daily was full of drinking activities. I found the reference "Be There or Be Sober" offensive.
|Cabin / Stateroom
|Our cabin appeared to be one of the cleaner areas of the ship. We were very fortunate to have one of the few good cabin stewards. The cabin appeared to be smaller than those of competitors. The beds were comfortable. I requested bar soap for the bathroom and never received any.

This how Half star shows in RTL.
I think the the emty half should be at the end.
I would think this is expected since you are going from right to left rather than the default left to right.
I dont think so.
The half star should be fliped horizontly, example:
The rating system is actually part of the XF core, so I have resolved that there by flipping the images horizontally in RTL via CSS (this applies to the full and empty stars too, which does change the shadow position of it).

That was the only word Mark Crytchin could think of to describe the state of the Manhattan ER he worked in. Moments before, he and his colleagues had been glued to the small TV perched on top of the main office's filing cabinets, unable to tear themselves away from the horrifying picture of a giant tour bus swaying a hundred stories from the ground. And now the hospital was swamped with its injured passengers, none of whom would be alive if it weren't for the mangled and bloodstained man who lay limp and unmoving on the gurney Mark was now helping to navigate frantically through the crowded hallways.
The surgeon had seen exactly what had happened to the young hero in front of him. The entire thing was recorded on tape, and was playing on every news station in the world at that very moment. The fact that Spiderman was still breathing, however shallowly, was a miracle in and of itself. The huge chunk of bus that had hit him had been going fast enough to send a full - grown elephant flying. It had carried him nearly thirty feet down the road and had smeared him along the pavement for ten. When Mark got the call and ran to the ambulance, he was expecting to be greeted with a dead and unrecognizable corpse. But the young man was alive, barely, and Mark knew that it was going to take yet another miracle to keep him that way.
"Move! Get out of the way!" he yelled as they barreled down the hall. A nurse ran at his side, holding an IV bag aloft as its contents dripped down through the tube and into their patient's arm. In this business, every second counted, and with each passing moment, Mark could almost sense the life flowing from this heroic man's mutilated body.
They were in for a long and hard struggle for survival.
"Please! Let me in! You've got to let me in!"
"I'm sorry ma'am, but unless you are injured, there is no way you are getting into that hospital."
Anna glared angrily at the policeman blocking her way. He had no idea who he was dealing with. Well, actually, he did know, since she had already told him that she was Spiderman's friend and that he needed her support, but he hadn't believed her. And in all honesty, who could blame him? He must be getting that kind of thing a lot.
It had been two and a half hours since Peter had gone in there on a stretcher, and there was still no indication whether he would be leaving on his feet or in a coffin. A giant crowd had gathered at the doors, blocking the street and bombarding anyone who entered or left the building with questions. Flashbulbs went off blindingly, reporters blathered into their microphones, the police struggled to control the crowd, and still there was no news. Anna groaned. Peter was alone and hurt in there! If he was awake, he was probably scared out of his wits! He needed someone to be there for him, and that damn policeman just didn't get it.
She stalked away quickly, before her base instincts took over and she began hitting the infuriating man. She leaned against the wall of the hospital, beside a hot dog vendor who had obviously decided to take advantage of all the excitement and set up shop. He was doing well, and Anna distracted herself from her anger and worry by watching him squirt ketchup and mustard expertly on a little boy's hot dog.
And suddenly she had an idea.
Nathan Brandt was feeling decidedly frazzled. Today had been hectic, to say the least. First the bus on the Empire State Building, then the super – fight, then the explosion, and now this! Crowd control was one of the most infuriating aspects of his job, and he was about this close to whipping out his gun and shooting anyone who claimed to be related to Spiderman. Didn't these people read? If they did, they would have known that Peter Parker didn't have any surviving relations!
And speaking of Peter, Nathan was worried sick about the boy. In their brief encounter, the grizzled detective had developed a strong liking for the willful young man. He was a good kid, and the luck that Nathan had wished for him that day when he walked out of the interrogation room, completely unprepared for fame and notice, had obviously not come. Brandt didn't want to think about what the city would be like if he died.
"Hey, mister!"
An agitated voice broke through his thoughts, and he blinked and focused in on the same young woman who had tried to get by him before. He rolled his eyes.
"Look, lady. I'm not letting you in. Get over it. Go buy a hot dog or some – "
"No, look," she interrupted. "I know this is gonna sound really fake, but I just fell and cut myself."
At his skeptical look, she yelled indignantly, "I'm not lying!" And she held up her left arm. The thin fabric of her shirt was torn, and blood oozed from a deep cut, soaking the blue fabric with a thick red liquid. He stared at it suspiciously.
"Are you just gonna stand there?" the woman demanded frantically, looking faint. "I'm bleeding to death here, and all you can do is stare?"
He still had his doubts, but better safe than sorry.
"Alright, ma'am. Go on in. But go straight to a doctor. No wandering!"
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank you officer!" And she darted inside.
Mark Crytchin walked out of the operating room and nearly fainted with relief. Three hours and 234 stitches later, there was some hope. If everything went perfectly, and if Peter Parker had some will to live, he would get through this.
Discarding his bloodstained gloves in a trashcan, Mark trudged off to clean up and then make a press statement. He didn't notice the young woman in blue flannel pajamas making her way stealthily towards the room he had just exited.
Suddenly, two nurses pushed open the door and wheeled a gurney out into the hallway. The woman sat down on a bench and crossed her legs, looking supremely confident that this was exactly where she was supposed to be. The nurses didn't give her a second glance. They passed her, and she got up again, following them quietly.
The following is Doctor Mark Allen Crytchin's statement to the press outside Mercy Hospital in Manhattan, where Peter Parker, otherwise known as Spiderman, is being treated:
"Mr. Parker's wounds are severe, but we have managed to stabilize him. He is alive, as of this moment, and if everything goes well, he will survive. But he has sustained massive damage to his spinal cord, and it is very unlikely that he will ever make a full recovery. I'm sorry to say it is probable that Spiderman's webswinging days are over."
Spiderman's domain is New York City, but the entire world was holding its breath.
"Is Spiderman gonna die?" a boy in Tennessee asked his father tearfully.
"Do you really think he won't be able to fight bad guys anymore?" a middle aged man in France called out to his wife, his eyes glued to the television.
"Poor boy…" an elderly lady in Japan murmured as she cooked dinner for her grandchildren.
"Oh my God, Peter…" a red – haired young woman sobbed despairingly into the pleated cushions of her couch.
Sometimes, it takes the thought of death to make you realize just how much you love someone.
Pain. It filled his mind, blocking out everything else, until he could not even remember his own name. Where was he? What had happened to him? Snippets of action, like a dream, flashed before his eyes. A building. A girl. A bus, swaying in the wind. The Goblin. Harry. The name jumped unbidden to his lips. The girl, held up by the Goblin's strong grip. Anna. And then the fall, the fight, and the explosion. Shoving the Goblin down, and taking the blow himself. And then blackness.
His eyes flew open. The pain flooded in again, and he cried out. And suddenly Anna was above him, stroking his face soothingly, murmuring words he could not hear. The blackness took him again, but this time he knew it would not be for long.
A/N: Hope you liked it, even though the plot didn't really progress that much. Oh well. Sorry (again, for like the tenth time) for the wait.

This gentle exfoliant doesn't work overnight, but it is effective without over-drying the skin. Great product that will always be included in my skincare regime!
I've been using this for a couple weeks now. I don't have the miraculous claims some have but I have to say I like it so far. I don't use it everyday and perhaps that is the key and I need to be better at that but I gave it 4 stars because I have seen some improvement for sure.
If you read the label you'll see that there is a suggestion to leave it on for a minute or so. I use this with my clarisonic: I dip the tip into the jar and then after wetting my face I clean it with the clarisonic and soap that reminds me of a soft patchouli scent. At the end of the cycle I harvest the cream left on the brush and pat it on my skin. Then I take a shower waiting until last to rinse my face. The extra few minutes the product is left on the face make it work better. I use it as if it were a mini masque and it's just amazing.
I use this at night. This is helping me a lot with my dark purple acne scars, both old and new. The new acne scars don't set. They flare up and go away really fast! I'm allergic to hydroquinone, so this is a miracle for me. PCA soaps are like solid creams--they aren't bars. Comes with sponges, but I use makeup cleaner on them.
I suffer from melasma. I use this soap every morning and evening after I wash my face. I use in conjuction with glytone clarifying cream that contains 4% hydroquinone. My face has been so clear. I have received multiple compliments about my skin glowing. Yay!
i bought this to use on my body, so the packaging is a little difficult. if you were using it just on the face, its great since you just rub the pad onto the bar. it is not a bar that floats in the jar, the jar is filled with the product and it is stuck to the sides. i think ill slice around the edge so i can take it out of the jar since that would make it easier for me to use. i did try this on my face a couple of times and i think it made me break out a little. this contains great ingredients so im sure ill see an improvement with the pigmentation on my chest, back, and shoulders with continued use.
I use this soap on my back for marks left by acne bumps. It doesn't dry out the skin and it has a great lather. The only negative is that it doesn't work as fast as hydroquinone and the price is a bit high.
Use this product on alternate days/nights from regular regimen. Nice lather. Does not dry out my skin.

A frosty start to the day, as is fitting for New Years Day, before the rain returned. Even so, there was enough time for a quick trip round the garden with the camera.
Under the trees in the South Border there are primroses flowering and 2 sorts of Pulmonaria-sacharata and rubra.
The P. Rubra is spreading under the canopy of Apple trees. It's spreading quite enthusiastically but such a good colour for this season. It withstands the drought under the trees in summer well too, becoming dormant.
The first snowdrop opened today next to the beautiful Helleborus X nigercors. I planted it last spring and it has bulked up substantially.
Hellebores do really well in this garden and I intend to add more this Spring.
This one is pretty special too. It's one of the Credale Doubles I bought last year. Such a clear lemon.
And last but not least in this quick trot round revealed the beauties below – Iris reticulata Katharine Hogkin. Dependable, beautiful and very early this year. The first bloomed on December 26. We need some winter!
What is blooming where you are this strange season?

US STOCKS-Wall St retreats after S&P record; Ukraine woes in focus
* U.S. job growth an upbeat sign for weather-beaten economy
* Putin rebuffs Obama as Ukraine crisis escalates
* Dow up 0.1 pct; S&P 500 flat; Nasdaq off 0.4 pct
By Angela Moon
NEW YORK, March 7 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks pulled back on Friday, with the Nasdaq extending losses in late afternoon trading as investors adjusted their positions ahead of the weekend and caution prevailed because of the simmering crisis in Ukraine.
Both the Dow and the S&P 500 retreated from session highs.
The S&P 500 had climbed to an intraday record of 1,883.57 shortly after the opening bell, lifted by the Labor Department's report showing that U.S. employers added 175,000 jobs to their payrolls in February. Economists had expected a gain of 149,000 jobs, according to a Reuters poll.
But as the market digested the jobs report, some analysts said the data has sparked the possibility that the U.S. Federal Reserve would take more action at its policy meeting later this month. The Fed, however, is expected to keep reducing its monthly bond-buying program.
"It seems that the decent February employment report, although a step in the right direction, has resolved little," said Andrew Wilkinson, chief market analyst at Interactive Brokers LLC in Greenwich, Connecticut. Continuación...

Ruth, a trained landscape architect, joined the family firm in 2000. Here, she reveals her secret piece of countryside in the city, where to enjoy the finest modern luxe surroundings, and who makes the perfect poached eggs on sourdough.
I live in Dartmouth Park right on the edge of Hampstead Heath, with my husband David Walker, our three children and our dog, Eddie. We've been here since 1996 and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Being an architect, David transformed a large, dilapidated Victorian terrace into a clean, white, family home. The area is so friendly. My daughter, 17 and my twin son and daughter, 15, have been through the local state system. I have lots of friends here and it's got great transport. It's not as stuffy or formal as Hampstead — yet.
Secret shop: Harrington & Squires woodtype samples
David insisted on all white walls, but the next time we redecorated, I said no more white, I want colour. So now the house is in the same palette as the one I like to wear — a mix of mustard, ochre, sienna, rich red, aubergine purple and grey. We got the paints from Dulux.
It's a portrait of my great-great-grandmother, Tilly Tedesco, from the 1890s in Vienna. My mother's side of the family lived there and came to London in the war. My parents met when my mother went to work on a kibbutz. My father was in the Navy looking dashing, escorting her boat back. She was going to study textiles at Central School of Arts and he wanted to study design. Today he is chairman of Aram. In the Sixties he was designing schemes but couldn't find the furniture he wanted to reflect his modern approach. He was astounded by what he saw at the Milan furniture fair, designers pushing the boundaries with materials and design. Then he thought, why don't I sell them in King's Road?
I'd love Poul Kjaerholm's PK91 folding stool. It's such a joy to look at and very versatile. The steel has been manipulated into a curve and all the fixings are visible on purpose. He designed it in 1961. Today it would cost just over £2,000.

Harrington & Squires is run by two women who have set up a traditional letterpress in a building near Tufnell Park that's so narrow it's like a slither. They make their own stationery and run courses. It's a lovely place to shop (harringtonandsquires.co.uk).
Paul Cocksedge, in his twenties, has done amazing lighting installations. Then he designed the Vamp. You stick it by magnet on the side of any speaker and it becomes a wireless Bluetooth speaker. It's beautifully designed and very advanced.
The Granary Complex and Granary Square in King's Cross. The lofty proportions and architectural integrity of the original granary buildings have been sympathetically worked into the new complex which houses the University of the Arts, London. The sheer scale of the complex and the square in front of it are breathtaking.

There's a special spot on Hampstead Heath where I walk my dog. It's a mown path through a meadow area full of brambles and trees. I feel like it's this little secret space, created just for me.
The Delaunay is in Aldwych, just next door to our shop, so I go there often. I love its comfort-meets-modern luxe surroundings. It feels like a men's club. The food's very good.
The farmers' market on the Heath on Saturday mornings. It's really social and there's even a dog crèche. All the food has to have been grown or made within a 30-mile radius and most of it is organic. The quality, especially of the meat and bread, is excellent.
My ideal Sunday is to walk the dog on the Heath, then meet my husband at Kalendar café in Swain's Lane for brunch. I usually have poached eggs on sourdough bread with roasted tomatoes. Then I like to go to Brent Cross... I'm a bit of a serial shopper.

A Dinner Invitation
Gift for Ubiquitous
Wishing list prompt "Tris/Niko Celebrate"
Tris ignored the familiar voice, hoping he would decide she wasn't in and would go away. After all, he couldn't read her mind.
"Trisana, I know you're in there. Open the door please."
Tris sighed. She knew better than to refuse to obey that voice. Grumpily, she stomped over to the door and threw it open, before returning to her seat at her desk. Niklaren Goldeye stood in the door to her dorm room, one eyebrow raised.
"And good afternoon to you too," he said archly, before coming in and closing the door. He sat down on her bed, the only other place to sit in the small room. "At least I don't have to worry about what I will find in your bed when I sit on it, unlike Briar's."
Tris looked up from the book she was reading and glared at her former teacher. "What do you want Niko? If you couldn't tell, I am trying to study."
Niko pretended to cough into his hand to hide a smile. "Well, I see Lightsbridge hasn't improved your manners."
"And why should it?" Tris demanded. "I'm here to learn magic, not deportment. Now either tell me what you want or go away."
"I was passing through the area and I thought I would stop by to see how you're doing and perhaps even take you out to dinner."
"You know I can't be seen with you Niko! It would blow my cover. I'll just eat in the mess hall like normal."
"That's why we would go somewhere in the city where there would be no one from Lightsbridge to recognise you," Niko said patiently. "And if I recall correctly, the mess hall food is not that good. I thought you might like a break from it. Plus, Sandry and Daja tell me that you haven't made any friends here. Having company for dinner would be a nice change for you."
Tris scowled and turned back to her book. She muttered something that Niko chose to ignore, but sounded a lot like 'interfering busy-bodies'. Further muttering seemed to be directed at him. "I can look after myself, you know. I don't need you to molly-coddle me. And anyway, I have to study. I have a big test next week."
"Surely you don't want to spend your birthday in this room, studying alone."
Tris turend round to gape at Niko. "You, you remembered my birthday?" she whispered.
"Of course I did. And I would like to take you out to dinner to celebrate. Now, will you accept my kind offer or will you spend the whole evening hiding in your room?" Niko asked tartly.
"I, well, thank-you Niko. I'd love to have dinner with you," Tris said quietly.
"Good," said Niko turning towards the door to hide his smile. "Because I have presents for you from your family in Summersea which you don't get until we're at the restaurant. Now, I'll wait outside while you change."
He went into the hall and closed the door. From inside the room, he heard Tris call out, "Nowhere expensive!"

GBPUSD Daily Forecast: April 12
GBPUSD Forecast
The GBPUSD had a bearish momentum yesterday and hit 1.6276 earlier today in Asian session after another failure to make a clear break above 1.6400. The bias is bearish in nearest term testing 1.6250 – 1.6170 but note that the daily outlook remains sideways. Immediate resistance at 1.6360. A clear break above that area would change the intraday bias to bullish retesting 1.6400 but we need a clear break above 1.6400 to continue the bullish scenario, still testing 1.6450 – 1.6500.

Prince Harry sent Twitter into a frenzy this morning after debuting an unshaven look at Battle of Britain's 75th anniversary gathering.
Fans of the royal, who is fifth in line to the throne, were left swooning over the Prince's well-groomed beard as he was pictured inspecting Second World War aircrafts at Goodwood Aerodrome.
The Prince, who also turned 31 today, is usually clean shaven and his new look did not go a miss with admirers across the world.
Royal photographer Mark Stewart posted an image of the flame-haired Prince with the caption: "Bearded birthday boy Prince Harry gets ready to fly in the Battle of Britain Flypast".
After receiving numerous retweets, he added: "Prince Harry's latest look seems to be meeting with twitter approval."
Nicola Heath tweeted: "Prince Harry has a beard. Can't quite process this information."
And Miss Natalie posted: "Still got a bit of the beard going on #swoon #PrinceHarry"

Prince Harry looks hot with beard omg and his smile absbbsjsh
— Beba (@_MissKellyBiebs) September 15, 2015
Another Twitter user, Lis, joked: "Pressing question of the day: Does Prince Harry's beard have a twitter account yet?"
A fleet of Spitfires, Hurricanes and Bristol Blenheim bombs will take part in a fly past from Goodwood Aerodrome at 2pm before dispersing across wartime airfields in the south of England.
The aerial display will be a tribute to the Second World War pilots famously dubbed 'The Few' by Winston Churchill for their efforts in defeating the Luftwaffe.
A total of 544 personnel from Fighter Command died in the summer and autumn of 1940 as the RAF fought to force back the threat of any invasion from Hitler.
This year's commemoration is likely to be the last major anniversary which surviving members of the conflict, who are all in their 90s, will be fit to take part.
Tom Neil, 95, an ex-wing commander and Battle of Britain Hurricane and Spitfire pilot, will lead the formation from the rear of a two-seater Spitfire - the symbol of Britain's fight against Nazi forces.
The Prince will fly in the Spitfire PV202 piloted by John Romain, managing director of the Aircraft Restoration Company at Duxford, Cambridgeshire.
A royal spokesman said Harry is "incredibly honoured" to be part of the flypast on his birthday.

Discovery reveals evolutionary path from fins to fingers
Joyce Park stashed this in Science
Stashed in: Science!, Awesome, Evolution, Darwin, CRISPR, University of Chicago
Clever experiment using a method that wasn't available 5 years ago -- CRISPR/Cas -- shows that fins and fingers come from the same genes. Even they were surprised, despite the fact that these are the researchers that discovered the Tiktaalik "fishapod".
What's striking is how CRISPR enabled them to be meticulous AND fast.
"What matters is not what happens when you knock out a single gene, but when you do it in combination," Nakamura explained. "That's where the magic happens."
The researchers also used a high-energy CT scanner to see the minute structures within the adult zebrafish fin. These can be invisible, even to most traditional microscopes. The scans revealed that fish lacking certain genes lost fin rays, but the small bones made of cartilage fin increased in number.
The authors suspect that the mutants that Nakamura made caused cells to stop migrating from the base of the fin to their usual position near the tip. This inability to migrate meant that there were fewer cells to make fin rays, leaving more cells at the fin base to produce cartilage elements.
"It really took the combination of labeling and knockouts to convince us that this cellular relationship between fins and limbs was real," Gehrke said.
Future research includes new expeditions to find more fossil intermediates–such as Tiktaalik, a link between primitive fish and the first four-legged animals, discovered by Shubin and colleagues in 2006–in the transition from fins to limbs. They are also planning experiments with Hox genes to learn how a common population of cells can form such different structures in fish and people.

I love to paint, but I miss drawing. Today I took out my Micron Pigma pens. Finding a subject wasn't difficult. On my counter I spotted some Trader Joe's pumpkins and gourds along with some rich-looking Bittersweet that my husband clipped on the side of the road this afternoon. On Cape Cod Bittersweet is abundant, no need to buy a batch at the florist shop.
Fall is a special, beautiful time of year on Cape Cod. There is opportunity to roam around on foot, by bike, or by car without crowds. The scenery is spectacular. I wanted to capture a little bit of what I adore most about Autumn. I hope you like my drawing.
