A post showed up on Engadget this morning that caught my eye.
Laser projected virtual keyboards? So 2004. These days, tech firms are dreaming up completely invisible typewriters, or at least Syntellia is. By marrying a Leap Motion sensor with its own Fleksy predictive keyboard, the company has created a system that seems to let you type on thin air
Yet another crazy-cool thing coming out of SXSW this year. You might say I predicted this. Last week I wrote posts about each of these companies and how I was excited about the work they are doing. I ended my Leap Motion post remarking on the promising future the miniscule device has. I suggested it could read sign language and allow people with arthritis to control computers without the joint pain, to control of a television without a remote.
Then, in my Fleksy post I suggested ways Fleksy could make the move out of touchscreen devices and incorporated into computers. I wrote specifically how it could be used to speed up typing and allow a dramatic increase in accuracy.
But what I neglected to put together was what would happen if Fleksy worked with Leap Motion. Well, turns out they were already thinking about this and have announced Fleksy integration with Leap Motion, and it's pretty brilliant. Imagine controlling your AppleTV with the Leap Motion, swiping in the air through videos and songs. When it came time to do a search in the Netflix app, you'd have the ability to simply type in the air using Fleksy integration instead of the traditional, and painfully slow, method of input with the AppleTV onscreen keyboard.
I'm not sure if I'm a genius for thinking abstractly of these two ideas or dense for not thinking of combining the two. Either way I'm even more looking forward to the delivery of my Leap Motion. Apple being the silo that it is, we might have to work with some XMBC hackers to get the above integration working but it would be worth it.

National Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the cultures, histories, and accomplishments of Americans of Hispanic or Latino ancestry. This yearly celebration begins on September 15 and ends on October 15. Across the United States, many communities, businesses, and schools take time to recognize and honor this heritage. The U.S. Hispanic or Latino population exceeded 50 million in 2010, constituting more than 16 percent of the total U.S. population.
Here are some BLS data that highlight the Hispanic or Latino labor force:
National Hispanic Heritage Month began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week. The celebration expanded in 1988 to span a month-long period beginning on September 15 and ending on October 15. The independence anniversaries of Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua all occur during this time period.
National Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the cultures, histories, and accomplishments of Americans of Hispanic or Latino ancestry. Across the United States, many communities, businesses, and schools take time to recognize and honor this heritage.
The U.S. Hispanic or Latino population exceeded 50 million in 2010, constituting more than 16 percent of the total U.S. population. In this Spotlight, we take a look at the Hispanic labor force—including labor force participation, employment and unemployment, educational attainment, geographic location, country of birth, earnings, consumer expenditures, time use, workplace injuries, and employment projections.

In 2011, across all age groups, men of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity had higher labor force participation rates than their female counterparts. (The labor force participation rate is the number of people employed or actively seeking jobs as a percent of the civilian population.) The difference in labor force participation rates for Hispanic men and women was greatest for persons ages 25 to 34; the rate for men was 92 percent, compared with 65 percent for women.
Among women, the highest labor force participation rates occurred in the 45 to 54 age group; the labor force participation rate for all women in this age group (75 percent) was higher than the rate for Hispanic women (70 percent).
The Hispanic labor force has grown significantly in recent decades—increasing from 9 million in 1988 to 23 million in 2011. Among detailed Hispanic or Latino ethnic groups identified in the BLS Current Population Survey, Mexican Americans comprised 63 percent of the total Hispanic labor force in 2011. Cubans are the smallest detailed ethnic group among Hispanics or Latinos, accounting for about 4 percent of the total Hispanic labor force in 2011.

In New Mexico, Hispanics or Latinos represented 42 percent of the total labor force in 2011, the highest share of all states and the District of Columbia. Two of New Mexico's bordering states—Arizona and Texas—also had high percentages of Hispanics in the labor force, 29 and 36 percent, respectively. Illinois was the only state along the Mississippi River in which Hispanics composed more than 10 percent of the labor force. Among all states, New Hampshire had the smallest share of Hispanics in the labor force (2 percent).
In 1992, thirty-nine percent of Hispanics or Latinos age 25 and over in the labor force had not graduated from high school. By 2011, that share had declined to 31 percent. About 12 percent of Hispanics or Latinos in the labor force had at least a bachelor's degree or more education in 1992; college graduates accounted for 16 percent of the Hispanic or Latino labor force in 2011.

In 2011, foreign-born Hispanics or Latinos had a higher labor force participation rate (70 percent) than the native born (63 percent). Among non-Hispanics, foreign-born Asians and Blacks or African Americans also had higher labor force participation than their native-born counterparts. The labor force participation rate for Whites, however, was higher for the native born (64 percent) than the foreign born (60 percent).
Less than a high school diploma
High school graduate, no college
Some college or associate degree
Bachelor's degree and higher
Unemployment varied among the foreign- and native-born Hispanic labor force in 2011. For those who had not graduated high school, the unemployment rate for the native born (17.4 percent) was much higher than the rate for the foreign born (10.8 percent). In contrast, native-born Hispanics with a bachelor's degree or more had a lower unemployment rate (5.0 percent) than their foreign-born counterparts (6.7 percent). The unemployment rate for Hispanics or Latinos with some college experience but not a bachelor's degree was about the same for the native and foreign born.
In 2011, foreign-born Hispanics or Latinos who were full-time wage and salary workers earned 77 percent as much as their native-born counterparts. Among Whites, Blacks or African Americans, and Asians, foreign-born and native born workers had similar median weekly earnings.
Unemployment rates are historically highest for those ages 16 to 19. In 2006, the unemployment rate for Hispanic or Latino teens reached a historic low of 15.9 percent (the series began in 1973). Four years later, in 2010, the unemployment rate had doubled to 32.2 percent, the highest rate since the series began. Unemployment rates for other age groups have remained below those of teenagers, but Hispanics or Latinos ages 20 to 24 have higher unemployment rates than those in older age groups.
Since 1989, the unemployment rate for Puerto Ricans (those living in the 50 states or the District of Columbia) has remained above the rates for Mexican Americans and Cubans. In 2005, the unemployment rate for Cubans reached a low of 3.3 percent; in 2011, the unemployment rate for Cubans was 11.2 percent, about the same as that of Mexican Americans and the overall rate for Hispanics or Latinos.

For most of us, words like virtual, almost and nearly are interchangeable. So if you almost make it off the couch and nearly do a workout, have you done a virtual workout? Sadly not.
Virtual fitness is the fusion of exercise with technology. But if this conjures images of awkwardly powering through sets of star jumps wearing a virtual reality headset – fear not. Virtual workouts are the same workouts you already know and love, or perhaps want to try, designed for ease and convenience to suit your own schedule and needs.
Typically, virtual workouts are played in gyms on the big screen – some clubs have them prescheduled and some facilities enable you to play the workout whenever you fancy. It's the round-the-clock accessibility that makes them a hit with everyone from shift workers to moms, and anyone else who's not keen or able to battle rush hour at the gym.
Virtual classes are often a gateway for live group fitness classes. So, if the thought of joining a throng of confident, seasoned group exercisers in a packed fitness studio daunts you, virtual could be the way to go. Virtual workouts typically attract smaller numbers, and you can go at your own pace, which makes them ideal if you're a novice looking to learn the moves.
Not all virtual workouts are created equally. The best are based on proven exercise science. Choose a LES MILLS™ Virtual workout and you'll be doing the same workouts that are loved by millions worldwide. These workouts are developed by fitness professionals, they feature moves developed by exercise scientists and subjected to a rigorous testing and development process. What's more, they are led by highly-skilled presenters who have been hand-picked from all over the globe.
Research shows the camaraderie of group fitness can be very beneficial, and there are also findings indicating that technology-based "virtual" group fitness can be advantageous too. A University of Michigan study looking at group fitness video games found that those who worked out virtually had increased motivation and performed better than when they were alone. It all came down to the fact they were alongside "superior" players. This suggests that when people work out virtually, the fact that they are exercising alongside leading fitness professionals on-screen may help them raise the bar and improve performance.
There's also proof that the sensory experience created by modern technology can help. A recent study of immersive cycling class THE TRIP™ showed the audio-visual components encourage participants to work out at harder than they perceive with less discomfort.
You can now enjoy the benefits of LES MILLS Virtual workouts in fitness facilities around the globe. Find out more here. You can also work out with Les Mills on the small screen with LES MILLS™ On Demand.

Bloggers are often looking for ways to increase traffic to their sites. There are several ways to go about doing this. Optimizing for the search engines, buying advertising, submitting posts to search engines, and article syndication are all ways that bloggers can gain traffic.
Guest posting is a great way to publish relevant content that adds value and enhances user experience. Most importantly it establishes credibility and respect from major search engines. Guest posting is a mutually helpful and powerful method of getting more traffic that is beneficial to you. You can also buy guest post on high quality sites as well. Once you find best and instant guest post service you can buy guest post on quality sites in a right way and can get benefits.
Blogging is a great learning experience not only in terms of your writing but also in interacting with other people who think very differently from you. There are a number of reasons people all over the Internet have to maintain their blogs. Some keep blogs for personal documentation of their experiences. Others maintain their own personal web spaces for more professional purposes like network expansion and even monetary benefit.
Here are some of the benefits that make it worthwhile to consider guest blogging:
1. It enhances your reputation.
Whatever you're chosen niche may be you can become known as an expert in your field and guest blogging is a tool that will help build your reputation in a number of ways. To begin with when you post an article on a well known blog you have an opportunity to show that community that your opinion is valued by other leaders. Secondly the fact that someone else feels that you can add value to their content is like others vouching for your credibility.
2. Wider exposure in your niche.
Let's face it there is always room for more visitors to your website. Because the internet is so huge there is a chance that millions of people who could benefit from you website have no idea that you exist and by becoming a guest blogger you will have the ability to leverage the SEO and traffic volume techniques that have already been done by the owner of that site.
By posting on that blog you are receiving access to people who would otherwise never know about you at all. As an example if your website is dependent mainly on social sites then you could possibly guest blog on a site that focuses more on forum participation or video creation, thus granting you access to visitors that would never have found you under normal circumstances.
3. Networking.
When you are new to a particular niche, guest blogging is a good method to begin networking. Not only will you create a relationship with the owner of the blog who is giving you the opportunity to post as a guest but in all probability they will tell other people about you as well.
The benefits to be gained by effectively networking in your chosen niche cannot be over-emphasized and guest blogging has proven itself to be one of the best methods of getting started.
4. Don't overlook the long term benefits! Most people overlook the long term benefits which is understandable when you consider the number of short term benefits that you can focus on. One great long term benefit is that if your article is good then there is a good chance that the owner of the blog will refer to it in posts that he/she makes in the future which will give you a double benefit as you will only have had to post it once and an added benefit is that it will continue to provide you with back-links to your site for many years ahead.
Submit guest post + Health sites, this strategy can help you obtain high quality backlinks and establish credibility.

The command line isn't just for wise Linux beards. It's actually an awesome tool with almost limitless functionality. Here's a primer on how it works, and how you can do almost anything with it.
Note: This article is meant for people who are either new to the command line or only have a couple of command-line tricks up their sleeve. If you're already conversant with most basic commands, you can send this article to others that still aren't up to your skill level and spread the good word about how great the command line really is.
What Is the Command Line?
The command-line interface, sometimes referred to as the CLI, is a tool into which you can type text commands to perform specific tasks—in contrast to the mouse's pointing and clicking on menus and buttons. Since you can directly control the computer by typing, many tasks can be performed more quickly, and some tasks can be automated with special commands that loop through and perform the same action on many files—saving you, potentially, loads of time in the process.
The application or user interface that accepts your typed responses and displays the data on the screen is called a shell, and there are many different varieties that you can choose from, but the most common these days is the Bash shell, which is the default on Linux and Mac systems in the Terminal application.
By default, Windows systems only include the anemic Command Prompt application, which has nowhere near the power of Bash, so for the purposes of this article we're going to suggest you use the open source Cygwin tool as your Windows command line, since it's quite a bit more powerful. You'll also at some point want to read parts one, two, and three of our series on using the Bash shell under Cygwin—the tips apply to Linux and OS X as well.
Basic Command Line Usage
To get started with the command line, you'll need to open up a terminal window and get ready to start typing commands. Here's a list of basic commands you can use, organized by the type of activity that you might want to perform.
When you run your terminal application (Cygwin on Windows, Terminal on Mac and Linux), your command prompt will start up pointing to a specific folder on your hard drive. You can navigate between folders, act on files inside those folders, or perform other actions.
List Files
First, let's display a list of files inside the active folder. For this task, you'll need to use the ls command. You can pass a number of parameters to the command to display extra details or change the sorting. For instance, if I add -l
to the end of my ls
command, I'll see a detailed listing; -t
will sort the results by file time; -S
will sort by file size; and -r
will reverse the sorting. You could use a combination of these together, like this command, which will show all files sorted by file size with the largest files at the bottom:
ls -lSr
If you use the –a option, you can see hidden files, and you'll also notice something else in the listing: there are two entries for "." and ".." at the beginning of the list. These represent the current folder—the "." folder—and the parent folder—the ".." folder.
Change Directories
You can change between directories using the cd
command, and using what we just learned about the ".." folder, you can use the following command to switch to the directory directly above the current one:
cd ..
You can navigate to either full or relative paths. For example, the command above navigates to a relative path—one above the current folder. If you're in /path/to/
and you want to navigate to the folder stuff
inside that folder, you can simply type:
cd stuff
You can also navigate to absolute paths. Again, if I were in /path/to/
and I want to navigate to /another/path/
, I would simply type:
cd /another/path
To swap directories to the previous working directory, the '-' (hyphen) shortcut is handy to have on hand. For example, if you were in the /first/folder/path/
directory and then switched over to /etc/
to make a configuration change, you might not want to type in the full path to switch back. You can quickly switch back to the previous working directory with this command:
cd -
Creating or Removing Folders
To create a new folder, you can simply use the
mkdir <foldername>
command. You can then remove any folder with the
rmdir <foldername>
command—as long as the folder is empty. If there are files in the folder, you'll have to delete those files before you can remove the folder.
Creating and Removing Files
You can use the
touch <filename>
command to create a new, blank file, and then use the
rm <filename>
command to delete files:
rm filename
You can quickly remove all files in a directory by using the '*' (asterisk) wildcard—another simple tool that will come in very handy during your time in the command line. For example, if you're in a folder and want to delete every file inside that folder, just type:
rm *
If you want to delete a list of files and folders, including all files from subdirectories, without prompting you for every single entry, you can use the -r option for recursive, and the -f option for force. This command will wipe out every instance of a matching filename pattern (note the slightly different use of the wildcard) from the current directory and below:
rm –rf filename.*
Edit Plain Text Files
The command that you use to edit text files will be different based on the platform you're using and the application you prefer to use. If you're using Ubuntu Linux, you can use the nano editor to quickly edit files, which might be more suitable for beginners.
nano /path/to/file
Otherwise, the vim editor is available on just about any system and can be invoked with the vi
Displaying Files
You can display the file contents directly on the screen with the cat
command, but the results will probably go flying past you on most large files, so it's usually better to use the more
or less
commands. For instance:
This will display the contents of a file on the screen, and prompt you to scroll through the file a screen at a time.
Command Redirection
Each command line application can accept standard input and writes to standard output, and you can use the >
or |
operators to redirect output from one command into another, which lets you chain commands together into much more powerful commands.
For instance, if you want to use ls –l to display a list of files but it keeps scrolling off the screen, you can pipe the output from the ls –l command into the input of the more
command by using the | character:
ls –l | more
If you wanted to save the output of that list directly into a file instead of displaying on the console, you could use the >
operator to redirect the output into a file instead:
ls -l > filename.list
You could then use the cat
command to display the contents of that file, pipe that into the grep
command (detailed further below), and then redirect that output into a separate file:
cat filename.list | grep keyword > filefound.list
Running a Script in the Current Folder
If you have an application or shell script in the current folder, you can't simply type the name of the command and expect it to start. You'll need to add a ./ to the beginning of the command in order to start it. Why? Because in the Bash shell, the current directory, or "." folder, is not included in the system path. So to launch scriptname.sh in the current folder, you'll need to use:
Using History
You can use the history command to show a list of all the recently used commands, or the up/down arrows to loop through them. The Ctrl+R shortcut key will start a search mode where you can type the first few characters of a command to search through your recent history.
Looping Over a Set of Files
If you want to loop through a set of filenames and perform an action on each one, you can use the for command to loop through a set of files. For instance, to loop through all the .txt files in the current directory and display them on the console, you could use:
for f in *.txt;do echo $f;done
Find Files
You can use the very powerful find command
to search for files on your system. For instance, if you wanted to find all files with .txt in the name that were modified in the last 5 days, you would use this command:
find . –name "*.txt" –mtime 5
Find a Text String in Files
The grep
command can be used to quickly find text within files, even searching through subdirectories. For instance, if you wanted to search through all files in the current directory and below it for "text string", you could use this command:
grep –ir "text string" *
Batch Rename Files
You can use the rename command to quickly rename files using a regular expression pattern. For instance, if you wanted to rename all files containing foo to contain bar instead, you could use a command like this one:
rename –v 's/foo/bar/g' *
Using Bash Shortcut Keys
There are a number of very useful shortcut keys you can use in the bash shell, and it pays to master them all. Here's a couple to get you started:
Ctrl + U: Clears the line from the cursor point back to the beginning.
Ctrl + A: Moves the cursor to the beginning of the line.
Ctrl + E: Moves the cursor to the end of the line.
Ctrl + R: Allows you to search through the previous commands.
Customizing Your Command Shell
There's no need to do your work in a boring terminal when you can do all sorts of tricks to customize it, like changing the colors, fonts, and adding aliases to complicated commands to save yourself time.
You'll want to start off by reading our guide to customizing the command prompt, which will show you how to change the colors and add them to your profile so they show up when you launch a new shell.
Using Aliases
Aliases save you loads of time by shortening long, complicated commands down into really simple ones, or by setting the default parameters to a command so you don't have to type them every time. For instance, if you wanted to set up an alias for installing packages on your Ubuntu setup that's quicker and simpler than sudo apt-get install packagename, you could use something like this:
alias agi='sudo apt-get install'
This alias would make it so you could simply type agi packagename
at the shell to install any package in fewer keystrokes. You can also use aliases to set the default arguments for a command, so if you always wanted ls to actually do ls –l, you could use this alias:
alias ls='ls –l'
There are any number of useful aliases that you can use to personalize your setup, but if you're having trouble coming up with good ideas, check out the list of the ten most useful aliases.
Control Your System from the Shell
The terminal has a rich set of tools for manipulating processes and checking on system stats. You can use the ps
command to see a list of system processes like this:
ps aux
You can then use the
kill <pid>
command to get rid of any processes that you want to kill. You can also use top to easily kill processes
from a more graphical list of running processes by simply using the K key.

Each design is carefully thought out and made with love and carries with it, it's own, distinctive style. Due to the fact that all earrings are handmade in small batches, there may be small imperfections.

Q. My mother was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and I'm worried she is pulling away from those who care about her. I think it might be good for her to talk to others who've been diagnosed to get some guidance. Where should she go?
Your question is a good example of how a cancer diagnosis affects the entire family, not just the loved one who was diagnosed. Both caregivers and patients share similar challenges, although with different perspectives. Speaking with people in a similar situation can often be helpful. Many hospitals offer support groups, so I would begin your search by speaking with a hospital social worker who can let you know about available support groups. If you are having difficulty finding local face-to-face support groups or if traveling is difficult, CancerCare offers both telephone and online support groups for colorectal cancer patients and for caregivers.
There are additional organizations that offer support groups, information on how to connect with a local support group, or "buddy" matching programs:
- Colon Cancer Alliance
- American Cancer Society
- The Cancer Support Community
- United Ostomy Associations of America
We know that "one size does not fit all," and it's important to determine the type of support services most beneficial to the person in need. A support group can be helpful, and often individual counseling may be more appropriate. Introduce this information to your mom and allow her to ask questions and share her decision with you. And don't forget to consider support for yourself. Our support group participants tell us they are glad they took the chance to connect with others, and report that they now have a greater understanding of their treatment, side-effects, options, medications, and emotions.
