Why Renting is Popular
Renting is becoming more and more popular, especially in the demographics of those between the ages of 18 and 35. Recently a thousand renters in this age bracket were surveyed to find out the top reasons why renting is the lifestyle of choice for them. Understanding the minds of these renter can help Fort Worth property managers attract these renters to their units and keep them happy in long term rental contracts.
Not So Handyman Gets Maintenance Help
A top reason for someone to choose renting a home over purchasing is the ability to call maintenance. When you don't have the skills yourself to fix problems around the house, constantly calling someone to come do the work for you can get very expense. When asked about maintenance, any renter feel less pressure about worrying about serious repairs on things like furnaces, appliances, water heaters. It is simply easier to make a simple call and let your Fort Worth property management company take care of the problems. Specialized has the resources for group discounts for maintenance supplies and equipment. So tenant and property owners both win when a repair is needed. Regular inspections helps keep an eye on potential problems before they turn into a bigger headache with bad timing.
Renting means less commitment where you have to stay. Fort Worth property management can decide lease options. Renters can choose to follow job options with less worry about leaving behind real estate if a relocation is necessary. Relationships, neighborhoods, pets, are all life changes that may mean a new location is needed. Renting gives that freedom. And many of these renters that were surveyed didn't think that their renting status would change anytime soon even though most did not grow up in a rental situation.
Money and Convenience
One of the top reasons given by renters for choosing to rent over signing a mortgage is the bottom line cost is generally cheaper. Even though renter know they aren't building equity with property ownership, rent can be less expensive overall than a mortgage payment. That can leave more money in the bank for important things like food and utilities.
Fort Worth property managers can be assured that the population of renters is not declining. People are always going to be looking for that perfect home in just the right neighborhood where they can put down some roots at least for awhile. Investment rental property owners will be there to help them move in.

As IUPUI's 50th anniversary draws near, another claw-some event will enjoy a 20-year celebration.
The fall of 1998 was a major, transitional year for campus: IUPUI Athletics earned NCAA Division I status and a new, fur-ocious (last pun, maybe) mascot was chosen by the student body. The Metros era officially ended when the original Jaguar logo was created by SME Branding from New York.

Today's building industry not only demands more and more reduced construction time on building site, but also an advanced and mostly construction attendant design phase. Even though there is software available to support design processes in distributed environments, most applications only support simple document based exchange of information. In this paper a knowledge based system is presented to support cooperative, comprehensive design processes in distributed environments. The presented research project is financially supported by the German Research Community (DFG – Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft).
Implementation of an Agent-based Bidding Consortium in the Architecture of an Agent-based Virtual Marketplace (2004)
In this research project we intend to transfer the whole AEC-Bidding process to an agent-based virtual marketplace. Hereby, the existing legal regulations have to be considered. Important aspects in developing the virtual marketplace are to provide the possibility to realize an agentbased bidding consortium as well as to integrate subcontractors.

Finally, I was able to start my peppers and tomatoes. I think I may have been avoiding this a bit because I have three varieties of tomatoes and six varieties of peppers. What was I thinking? Oh, yes, I love tomatoes and peppers!
I started with a rubber tote full of the topsoil/compost mix we had delivered last week. I mixed in a little over a 1/4 cup of powdered egg shells, 4 TB of organic bone meal as fertilizer and about a quart of coffee grounds. Joe was my little helper…and yes, it was messy.
Egg shells are about 95% calcium and help with root and shoot growth. Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen and do not have to be "composted" first but can be added right to the soil. The nitrogen also helps to establish big roots so that the plants can take in more water and nutrients…which means bigger yields and tastier produce! Bone meal is rich in phosphorus which plants need to help with photosynthesis and regulating moisture so that they can stay strong and stocky.
After mixing all of this up I started filling my containers…I used a variety of planters, egg-shell cartons, sour cream containers, etc. I made sure to poke holes in the bottoms of the containers that did not already have them. All of the dirt-filled, hole-drilled containers then went into totes, cookie sheets, 9×13 pans filled with water in order to ensure that the soil slowly soaked up the water instead of dousing from the top and letting the water drain out.
This process took awhile so I was able to get the kids down for a nap and clean up the kitchen floor…did I mention that Joe was "helping". 🙂
After the water made its way through the soil, I planted 2-3 seeds per pot. These are going under the grow light tonight and I will check on them daily, making sure the soil stays wet and encouraging them to become big beautiful tomatoes and peppers.

I knew a couple who used to live in Arthur Erickson's Waterfall Building but I was too uneducated to appreciate it at the time. Looking back, I wish I had explored it more and taken more photographs. Now I just have to rely on a Google Image search to share with you this important piece of design in Vancouver.
"The building was designed in 1996 with Nick Milkovich Architects. The concrete and glass structure houses units for artists that combine living and work space. The focal point of the project is the central skylit gallery that makes use of innovative steel trusses to hold up the large sloped glass front. Steel is also key in its use in the construction and detailing of the balconies, stairs and enclosures -- the lightness and texture of which creates a sharp contrast with the heaviness of the exposed concrete frame." - Text from University of Waterloo
Fans of the TV show The L Word may also recognize this building as it was a prominent location for the series.

from an email study series on "SIGNS" (no. 6)
If there is one message for which I could easily develop an obsession, it would be the second coming of the Lord Jesus, commonly called "the Rapture".
The heart and core of this series of studies is that very subject. This may shock you but there is the greatest of dangers - FOR THE CHURCH - in the message of the Rapture.
The common understanding among Christians pertaining to the subject is only what they have heard someone else say. They have never studied it for themselves with an open heart and mind being subjected to the Holy Spirit who would show them the truth. He is the great teacher of truth. If we listen to Him we will never stray from the truth of the Word. John 14:26
As recorded in the discourse of Jesus, pertaining to His second coming, in Matthew twenty four, the very first sign to which He referred was that of a deception perpetrated against His very own.
It is a very strong warning, that preceding His second coming, there will be a flood of deceptions and deceivers attacking the body of believers in Christ.
Mt. 24:4 For MANY will come IN HIS NAME, saying I AM CHRIST, and MANY will be deceived.
This is prior to His coming, and is a great and serious problem facing the church of today. We have already seen smatterings of this around the world; some have attracted larger following than others, but they are out there, and will increase in number as the day of His coming draws nigh. The knowledge of the rapture is far too casual, too light, and even sometimes too frivolous.
Because of that, when the man of sin comes, he will imitate the true Christ with signs and wonders, until many who are today serving the Lord will follow him - out of ignorance.
They will say; "he fits all the requirements".
Mark quoted Jesus, and gave us a bit broader perspective of the coming deceiver and his co-workers who are noted to be false prophets. Their main weapons will be false signs and false wonders. Mark 13:22
These demonstrations will be very powerful and convincing. Unless one is filled with the Spirit and the Word, the possibility of deception is there.
Their efforts are to seduce the people of the Lord into following them, and foolishly, there will be those who look at the manner of their appearing, and the demonstrations put on by these false ones, and be thoroughly fooled.
This is not a dollar store deception, but is a first class operation. Paul warned that Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Cor. 11:14.
Good counterfeit money often is passed and received as authentic - because the receiver cannot tell the difference.
The position of an angel of light is pretty impressive.
Many will believe and receive the antichrist when he comes,
Editor's comment: Jesus said that many of us would, didn't he? (In Matthew 24:4, and Mark 13:22, quoted above)

In the last article I explained how your voice and body communicate something to your audience long before the content of your words hits their brains. Today I'll share two secrets on connecting with your audience and wise use of slideware.
Theodore Roosevelt said, "No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care." A presentation is not just about content delivery. It's about connecting with people. Audiences today need to feel and experience your presentation, not just hear facts rattled off to them.
Here are just a few tips on establishing a connection with your audience:
The invention of PowerPoint and other similar presentation tools was a major development in the world of presentations. Words and images presented in inventive ways can appeal directly to your audience's imagination, adding power to your spoken words. As mentioned above, a picture can say a thousand words. But presentation slides can also be distracting if not used carefully.
There's a story about a Psychologist who was asked what he does when he feels down. He replied "I find someone in need and help them." When you truly care about your audience it's easier to connect with them. When you make the presentation about them and deliver with confidence they'll sit up and take notice. When you provide relevant illustrations which draw them in and hit their emotions, lives can be changed. At the end of the day, it's not really about making a better presentation; it's about improving lives. It's about making a better world (or at least a less boring world).

An insight into the craftsmanship and story behind the manufacture of DMM products at its Llanberis base in north Wales. See for yourself how throughout every stage of production, starting with the raw material, strict standards of quality control are maintained. Incredible precision even when hundreds of tonnes of force are being used and careful control of the critical variables involved many of the processes, such as heat treatment, are all part of the story.

A question we get asked at DMM is why is knotting Dyneema® (Dynatec) to make your own slings strongly not recommended. It may be possible to achieve quite high breaking strengths using specific knots but that is only part of the picture.

In this day and age, people are so busy with their lives they often forget how essential a good night's sleep is for your health, both mental and physical. According to the statistics, adults in the UK are under-sleeping. People are out socialising till the early hours of the morning, working late at night in the office or even just sitting at home watching the latest series on Netflix. We all are as guilty as each other for not giving our body the rest it deserves.
Sleep is vitally important to optimise your long-term health and wellbeing, as is a proper exercise and nutrition routine. It is scientifically proven that sleep, exercise and diet go hand in hand: if you eat and train well, you will sleep better; if you sleep and eat well, you will be able to train better and harder; if you sleep and train well, you will be less likely to crave unhealthy snacks, preferring instead healthier and more nutritious food. I know I always get the best out of my training sessions when I am well-rested and have had a nutritious and delicious meal beforehand.
With the hectic, technology centred lifestyles that we lead, one thing I would recommend is turning off blue-light sources (e.g. phones, laptops, tablets, TV etc.) an hour or so before you go to sleep. The blue-light reduces melatonin production in the body, an essential hormone that tells your body when it is time to sleep or to wake up. Just turn off your phone, relax and try to get the recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleep. You will feel a lot better for it.

In 2006, I have decided to reduce intake of animal produce. Little by little, I stopped eating pork and discontinued drinking cow's milk. And that's where Soy Milk and I met. I am really not lucky in finding soy milk that is locally produced so I have to search for big grocery stores to buy imported soy milk. I was a fan of Vitasoy because I could easily get it in any SM malls plus it's relatively cheaper. Now that there's no SM grocery store near my place that sell this product, no soy milk for me for the past months. And I'm just glad that I saw Silk Soy Milk in Starbucks. It's twice the price of Vitasoy but now I can have my fix of soy milk anytime.
Did you know that you can request soy milk as an alternative for your non-fat milk in Starbucks and in Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf? They can do that for an additional charge but it works wonders with cold Green Tea. Try it! :)

Last week Endocode was happy to welcome our friends from the GNOME community to Berlin, and our humble office, for the GNOME Developer Experience Hackfest. About 25 GNOME contributors came with the goal of improving the developer tools and documentation for GNOME and related technologies like GTK+ and GLib.
Creators of one of the leading desktop technologies for Linux, the GNOME project consists of contributors from around the globe. Periodically, these contributors get together in one location for an intensive few days of work known commonly as hackfests. This time, Berlin was chosen and Endocode was asked to host.
We are always eager to do what we can to further open source software. Such intense, in-person meetups are a great way for communities to grow stronger bonds, increase motivation and simply get stuff done.
To give a sample of what people were getting done at this event, here a few links from attendees.
- Chris: Welcome to Berlin for the GNOME Dev X Hackfest
- Allan: GNOME Developer Experience Hackfest, 2014 Edition
- Christian: Berlin Dev-X Hackfest
- Kat: Developer documentation
- Sindhu: Writing Shell Extensions in GNOME
- Sindhu: Dev-X day-2-3
- Philip: Developer experience hackfest 2014
- Aleksander: Profiles in Devhelp
- Cosimo: DX Hackfest in Berlin
- Henri: Flowhub and the GNOME Developer Experience
- Emmanuele: Berlin DX Hackfest / Day 3
- Lasse: DX Hackfest, Berlin – Boxes
- Allan: DX Hackfest
- Zeeshan: Berlin, DX hackfest, Boxes, rain & sunshine
- Philip: Berlin DX hackfest and Clang
More photos of the event can be found here.
It was a pleasure to host the hackfest and we'd welcome the GNOME folks back again. We'd also like to extend the invitation to other open source projects looking for a friendly host for their Berlin event.
p.s: We also want to say thank you to our friendly neighbors Rocket Internet who lent us some tables and Kalkscheune who lent us some chairs for the event.

Probe First, Ask Questions Later
Since we recently wrapped up the conflict involving the Fantastic Four, the Sub-Mariner, and Magneto, let's have a look at the cover from the issue beginning that arc, alongside its counterpart in Marvel's FF reprint mag, Marvel's Greatest Comics, and see what changes took place between 1970 and 1979:
The first thing that probably jumps out at you (if you don't count the masthead differences) is that the viewscreen monitoring Namor in Atlantis is now in monochrome, which may or may not be an improvement. There's little question that the addition of color in the original brings the cover more to life and would make it more noticeable on the sales rack; but with the screen's overall size reduced in proportion, perhaps the need was felt to make it definitely appear to be a viewscreen, rather than Atlantean forces charging them from the next room (which, given the word balloons and the 3D aspect of the original, may not have been entirely clear to begin with).
The removal of the word balloons makes the cover much more dependent on its captions, particularly with the backs of the FF turned to us. The caption regarding Namor has been moved to accommodate the placement of the masthead; but in addition, its wording has been changed to instead reflect the Sub-Mariner's "savage" strength, rather than merely his "super" strength. It's anyone's guess whether the new word was chosen with Namor's solo title in mind, cancelled in late 1974 but which began sporting the word "savage" above its title for its last few issues; but for sales purposes, it's an improvement over "super," which may have simply pointed out the obvious since we're reading about comic book super-powered characters.
What these adjustments leave open to interpretation, however, is--what exactly is the Sub-Mariner doing? The posture of the FF indicates they're clearly taken aback--but why? They see Namor and the other Atlanteans up in arms--but the cover otherwise gives no indication of the reason, or how it involves the FF. On the other hand, that actually falls into place with the tone of the story. All the FF initially know is that strange magnetic disturbances are wreaking havoc with the city, and they're coming from a disturbing source:
Yes, you read that correctly--Reed is taking unilateral offensive action against a foreign nation, even though he doesn't yet have any facts beyond the disturbances' point of origin. Did he forget to pick up that hotline to Washington first? And what kind of useful information is a sonic probe supposed to give him as to what Atlantis is up to--unless it's to tell him how quickly Atlantean infrastructure will crumble when it's subjected to a high-intensity sonic wave?
And following that up with a concussion missile? Well, now we know why Namor looks furious.
So that takes care of the general impression the revised MGC cover leaves us with. As for the other changes, they're a little more subtle. Franklin's hair and clothing color have been changed, though his hair color would shift back and forth from brown to blond for at least the next 20 or so issues; and the coloring of the equipment panel and arc is now more consistent with that of machinery. The intensity of Johnny's flame seems somewhat diminished, maybe because the dunce realizes he's bursting into flame within a foot of his infant nephew. And the "This is the one you've been waiting for!" box has been removed, since the story has long since been revealed. (They probably could have gotten away with, "This is the one you've been waiting to re-read!")
All things considered, I'd have to give the nod to the original cover, as there looks to be much more happening in the scene to be interested in. I also like the wider range of color, as well as the color choices being made--the Fantastic Four title catches my eye more because of its white lettering, whereas the red coloring on the MGC cover yields little contrast with the gray machinery behind it. And are we more interested in watching a fighting-mad Sub-Mariner on "television," or a foe who looks like he's about to burst through that screen to clash with the FF? From his vantage point, I'm thinking that Franklin finds the original image greater cause for concern.

Could Google Glass Arm Activists in the Digital World?
WASHINGTON – Google Glass has become the must-have digital device for tech-savvy people, but some hope that the Internet-ready eyewear can provide innovative ways for anyone to engage in political advocacy and grassroots activism.
Google Glass is a wearable computer with a head-mounted display that lets users take photos and videos, search the Web, send texts, and use apps. The visor responds to voice commands and can also be operated via a touchpad located over the user's right temple.
Glass takes mobile technology to the next level. Users do not have to pull their phones out of their pockets. They do not have to unlock it and go to the app they want. Instead, users can simply just say a command and the device will take a picture or record a video.
Since the company unveiled Glass in 2013, the wearable technology has been available to only a select few VIPs and developers, or "explorers," as Google calls them, who want access to the device to design applications. The company says there are currently 10,000 so-called explorers.
The device went on sale to the general public on April 15. Google sold out of the device, which it made available on its website for $1,500, by the next day.
Speaking at the Cato Institute, Peter Ildefonso IV, web and database programmer at the Leadership Institute, said wearable technology allows everyone to become a documentarian by letting users capture more footage while moving around freely, without being "as obvious."
"These devices are so discreet that many people won't notice you're wearing them until they directly focus on you," Ildefonso said. "This is one huge benefit of these devices in addition to how quickly they can be accessed."
Ildefonso believes that Glass, and other types of wearable technology, could become a powerful tool for activists by layering the devices' features on top of what they are doing, whether walking around a protest or sitting at an event.
"Not only we can increase the number of activists, but also we can make those members more effective by training them on tools that they can use on the field," Ildefonso said.
Glass has a number of critics. They criticize the unappealing design of the Internet-connected eyewear, and raise privacy concerns about people being recorded without their consent. Others complain about its role as a status symbol for the tech elite.
Glass has stirred up controversy, with several high-profile confrontations in San Francisco between users and skeptics making headlines. In particular, these altercations have become more prominent as part of a larger backlash against tech companies, such as Google, Twitter, and others, and gentrification in the city.
A study conducted by market research firm Toluna indicated that a majority of Americans are not interested in purchasing Google Glass due to concerns about personal privacy. Almost three-fourths of respondents said they would avoid wearing Glass in public, citing concerns about being mugged.
The tech giant has taken steps to convince consumers that its product is more than a niche gadget for techies.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Maybe for spending time with the family, but our wallets suffer big time during this season. It seems like everything involved with the holiday season requires money. Gifts, flights, warmth. Household bills tend to be the least of your worries during the winter months with all the other expenses, but it can really rack up. Here are 11 ways you can save money during the holidays by cutting down on your bills.
Turn down the stat
Turn down the thermostat. Turning your thermostat down by just two degrees can save you at least $100 a year depending on your provider. It might be a little colder inside, but throw on a sweater or cuddle up under a blanket and you'll feel just as warm and toasty. You can also program your thermostat to be cooler during the day when you are gone and warm back up right before you get home.
Fill 'er up
Make sure your dishwasher and laundry machines are filled to capacity and try to run them in the "off hours". You can find out when these hours are simply by calling your power company. These machines are also more energy and water efficient when they are full, so you're saving in more than one area.
Before the cold really starts to kick in, make sure your home can stand up to the weather. You can go big with this one and buy better installation or double-paned windows. Door sweeps are a less expensive way to keep that pesky cold out. Or you can simply block all the drafts with a pair of socks or a blanket. Whatever you decide, you're stopping money from just flowing out of your home in the form of heat.
Close those drapes
Keeping your blinds open lets the warm air leak out and the cold air in. During the night or anytime the sun isn't shining through, keep those drapes shut. When it's sunny though, open those babies up. The sunlight will naturally warm up the room and money will magically appear in your wallet. Okay, not really. It just won't leave your wallet as fast.
Don't Idle
On cold mornings, it's habit to go out and start the car 5-10 minutes before you leave. All your new Toyota Highlander santa left under the tree needs is a quick 30 seconds. Anything more than that is wasting gas causing you to constantly be filling up.
Check out that fridge
The only place in your house that should be cold is the fridge and freezer. Clean or change out the coils on the fridge and make sure everything is sealed up completely. Next time you need to purchase a fridge, make sure to look for an Energy Star model, which is as energy efficient as you can get.
Clean the filter
This one will take less than a minute and save you tons of money. Clean your furnace filter every two months and you can increase its efficiency by 50%.
Close the damper
Your fireplace is a great way to warm up, but it's also a great way to lose heat. When it isn't in use, close the damper. Otherwise, you're just letting the heat get sucked right up your chimney. It also creates a draft that you should have already gotten rid of.
Warm up the water heater
Insulating your water heater will keep the water warmer while it travels through the pipes to you. Getting a low-flowing showerhead also means you get a warm shower. It uses less water and, in turn, uses less heat. You get warmer water while your wallet keeps a little cash. This trick can save up to 10% on your gas bill.
Light solutions
This is one that you can implement year round. Changing your old light bulbs out for LED light bulbs will make a huge difference in your electricity bill. This may not help cut down any costs in the heating area, or heat up your home at all, but it will make your home brighter and consume less energy.
Energy suckers
Another tip you can use all year long. Even when you think the tv is off, it really isn't. Items that use electricity, keep using electricity while they're plugged in, even if they're turned off. Make sure to unplug them once you're done using them and you can save up to $75 on your energy bill a year.
Following these simple tips can save you hundreds. And we all know how valuable every penny is during the holiday, or shall we say spending, season. Now go use all that money you saved to buy your loved ones the gifts they've been bugging you for all year.

The first-floor entrance will feature a flourishing foyer decked with elegant Jerusalem stone, with a benefactor wall honoring all our partners in the Chabad at Yale building project. The Library and Conference Room will be a place of in-depth study and probing research, with thousands of volumes on hundreds of topics in Jewish thought, ranging from Talmud and Kabbalah to today's moral challenges. Daily classes and study groups will meet in the Conference Room for study, discussion and debate on all things Jewish, from the arguments of Maimonides to modern Jewish medical ethics. An inspiring art gallery will lead to the Synagogue/Lecture Hall, a handsome hall that will facilitate Shabbat and holiday services as well as the many lectures hosted by Chabad at Yale. The first floor will also comprise offices for the rabbi and administrative assistants.
The second floor will feature the center's dining room, perhaps the most-used space in the building. Chabad at Yale consistently attracts overflow crowds for its five-course gourmet dinners for Shabbat and Jewish holidays—and the dining room will be built to match. The dining room is designed to comfortably accommodate over 100 students at any event, incorporating an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy that engenders that all-important sense of Jewish family and community so integral to Chabad life. The dining room will be paired with a state-of-the-art kitchen to match.
The third floor will offer the Yale Jewish community a superlative student lounge complete with pool table, piano and seating area—a safe haven of comfort and the ideal venue for small events, and a cozy retreat for relaxing and hanging out with friends. The third floor will also comprise two fully-appointed guest suites with accommodations evoking the finest hotels, allowing Chabad at Yale to regularly host visitors, guest speakers, alumni, parents and friends in uncompromising comfort, class and centrally-located convenience.

Information for employers and interns
Information for employers and interns
Inclusion Scotland is funded by the Scottish Government to create internship opportunities for disabled people in Scotland. These internships give valuable paid work experience to help disabled people develop their careers.
Internships are supported by Inclusion Scotland to ensure that they are accessible to all who apply. Application support is available to those who need it, and reasonable adjustments will be made if necessary from application to interview. Once an intern is chosen they will be supported to identify any adjustments they might need in work. This may involve an Access to Work claim. Employers will also be advised around adjustments and the Access to Work process.
An internship is a time limited position that is of mutual benefit to the employer and intern. Internships on this programme will focus on a specific project or piece of work where the intern will be challenged to use and develop their skills in a supportive environment. Roles offered in previous programmes have varied but included research, events planning, marketing, communications and social media work. All internships offered by Inclusion Scotland are paid at least the Scottish Living Wage which is currently £9.00 per hour.
We do not provide support for the following scenarios:
Funding for individual disabled people to set up internships with employers.
Funding for employers to set up a placement for a specific disabled person
Funding for employers to extend current contracts of disabled employees on other employability programmes such as Community Jobs Scotland or Modern Apprenticeships
Funding to turn volunteer placements into paid employment opportunities
Funding to support housing costs of interns relocating for work
We have a monthly newsletter which has information about our internships and the work we are doing around access to politics and public life. You can sign up to our newsletter by clicking this link.
Our privacy policy has information about how we use your personal information you give us when you sign up. Please click here to read it.

Losing or having your phone stolen is one of the most common fears we have for our smartphones, but do you know what to do if the worst happens?
With over a million mobile phones being stolen each year in the UK, more technology is being developed to help track your stolen tech and we're here to look into what apps are available to track your smartphones if they are lost or stolen. .
AnApple based app cleverly entitled, Find My iPhone, which aims to do exactly what is says on the tin.
The app is free to download from Apple, and uses GPS in order to track down the exact location of your iPhone.
You simply log into your iCloud account, or use the Find My iPhone app on another Apple device, and the location of your phone will appear on a street map.
Further to this, the iOS operating system used in the iPhone is installed with a Lost Mode option, which allows you to immediately lock your iPhone with a password, and sends a message to the phone displaying your contact details for either the thief or good-doer who has found the handset to call you on.
The Lost Mode on your iPhone even carries on tracking the whereabouts of your device even after you have locked it, meaning that if the subtle plea to the thief to call you, you can always track them down to an exact location.
Furthermore, apple has kept updating the Find My iPhone app, allowing you to select a car icon on the map displaying your phone's location in order to receive driving instructions on how to get there.
The Locate My Droid app provides a service for those of you with Android operated phones, and works much the same as Apple's Find My iPhone app.
If your phone is lost or stolen, Locate My Droid allows you to log into your account (using your Google account) from any other Android device in order to track your phone using GPS.
The app then returns an up-to-date street map to you, displaying the exact location of your handset.
Because the tracking feature doesn't run until you activate it, the battery levels of your mobile phone are not affected, meaning that your phone won't turn itself off because of your efforts to track it down!
Like the iOS version of Find My iPhone, Locate My Droid also allows you to lock your handset remotely, stopping a thief from accessing your private details, or from using the phone for their own devices.
The iGotYa app is another app to track your stolen tech, but one that goes that step further than Find My iPhone.
iGotYa doesn't just use GPS to track the location of your stolen phone, but it also takes a photograph of the culprit when the wrong passcode is inserted when trying to unlock the device.
The app is made by Cyndia, and has been responsible for many owners being able to track down their stolen devices.
In fact, stories criminals who inadvertently took photographs of themselves while trying to unlock phones have been rife since the app has been made available. Photographs are automatically emailed to the owner, who are then able to contact the police with the evidence.
After the passcode to unlock the device has been wrongly entered, similarly to the iPhone's Find My iPhone app, a message appears on the home screen asking for the thief to return the phone to its owner.
Also, while taking a photograph of the thief does not necessarily guarantee your phone being returned to you, it has helped to name and shame many culprits whose photographs have been released on websites and in newspapers as a result.
GadgetTrakis available on all smartphones and also offers security cover for all of your tech, including laptops and tablets, and was awarded the Mobile Star Awards' 'Best Security App'.
The app, which costs around £2.50, tracks the stolen device using a combination of GPS and Wi-Fi positioning, making its predicted location even more exact.
The user has the option of remotely wiping all of the personal details from the phone, stopping a thief from accessing important information from the stolen phone, such as contact details, bank account numbers or passwords, the type of things many mobile phone insurance do not cover.
Yet another feature which makes this app stand out from the other, free, apps available is that GadgetTrak can alert you when it detects that a new phone number has been assigned to the phone.
By passing on the handset's new phone number, you can continue to track your stolen device even after the new owner has changed the SIM.
If GadgetTrak is downloaded to an Apple device, a camera support feature will be activated, which takes a photograph of the culprit, increasing your ability to name and shame any thieves into giving themselves in.

Young Mums Graduate from Family Nurse Partnership Programme
A group of local, young and first time mothers recently graduated from the Family Nurse Partnership programme with the Southern Health and Social Care Trust.
The mothers who signed up to the programme in 2015 also celebrated the milestone of their babies' second birthdays at the event which is supported by both the Department of Health and the Public Health Agency and the Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough.
First developed in the USA over 30 years ago, the nurse-led home visiting programme is offered to young mums aged 19 and under and their families. The same family nurse visits the mum and her family from early pregnancy until the child's second birthday, taking them through a range of activities and supporting them with the many issues that families can face. Since 2012, 180 young mums in the Southern Trust have benefitted from the programme
Congratulating the graduates, Roberta Brownlee, Chair of the Southern Health and Social Care Trust said: "Being a parent is of course so rewarding but as all of us mums and dads know it isn't always easy. We all want the best for our children and sometimes we can worry that we aren't doing our best.
"We are delighted to have our team of Family Nurses to support our young mums to help give their babies the best start in life, giving young parents help in dealing with common insecurities, getting them to think about their future aspirations for education, training and employment and supporting them to be the best parent that they can be.
"We are extremely proud our young parents – all of their beautiful babies and toddlers are a true credit to them. Today we can really see the difference it has made and we wish them all the very best and look forward to seeing what the future holds for them.
"Family Nurse Partnership is a great example of how through early intervention we can focus on the future health and wellbeing of child and mother, improve social and educational outcomes and have a positive influence on the long term outlook for families."
Graduates from the programme were presented with a certificate of achievement and a commemorative cup.
Trusting the North Pole elves to continue making toys and presents for Christmas, the one and only Santa Claus took a break from his very busy Christmas build up to meet the children and present them with gifts.
Commenting on the Family Nurse Programme Miriam from Portadown commented: "Without my family nurse I wouldn't be the mother that I am today. Thank you for teaching me so many things."
Laura McConville from Craigavon said: "The Family Nurse Programme has helped me to be a good mummy to my daughter. I like the support and visits from the Family Nurse."
Petra from Dungannon said: "Having a Family Nurse means I always have someone to contact about my child's health. The programme has helped me learn new things and made me more confident as a mother."
Applications to Family Nurse Partnership should be made as early as possible in pregnancy (up to 28 weeks). Applications can be received from anyone - any Health and Social Care professional, Teachers, a family member or you can self-refer. For further information Tel: 028 3756 4632 or Email: email@example.com

- Get a consolidated view of your operations: Integration helps your business save time and resources by consolidating the necessary information you need all into one place, making sure your team is operating as efficiently as possible.
- Avoid drastically modifying your processes: With processes already in place, integration helps limit the extent to which those operations need to be modified and reduces the likelihood you'll have to hire or train someone for new software expertise.
- Gain more control over your data: Access to the API also gives you direct access to raw data. Access to this information allows you to build custom reports and conduct data-driven analysis that are specific to your business. Additionally, this lets you more easily pull and share custom datasets cross-functionally or with external stakeholders.
We've always approached our product offerings from the viewpoint of the user, making sure that we're delivering the value our customers need to operate more efficiently. While our software is highly intuitive and presents dumpster data in a way that makes it highly actionable, we realize that some customers have already built processes around their proprietary or other third-party softwares. We want to accommodate all of our clients and future customers who find value in our complete dumpster data offering. That's why we've expanded our product line to offer software integration capability through our API, making our data available outside of the Compology app for the first time.

Can't Pay Child Support? Or Won't?
Child Support: Millions Don't Get Money, but Experts Can't Agree on Why
Millions of parents are not receiving their court-ordered child support.But experts disagree on the reason– because parents can't pay, or parents won't pay. After a divorce, it's tough enough to get through the emotional upheaval but add to ita spouse that's in arrears for child support payments and you've got a big legal and financial mess to boot.
According to Jeffrey Leving, a Chicago attorney who specializes in father's rights, of the parents who don't pay, Most of them are not deadbeats, they are just dead broke." Not so said Sari M. Friedman, a New York attorney who specializes in custody issues. She believes it comes down to financial perspective. Sometimes can't or won't is subjective," Freidman said. Can you afford something? Is there a subjective element in that?It's a system of priorities."
Whatever the reason, about three-fourths of all parents who receive child support payments are not getting it. all or any of it. A recently released report by theU.S. Census puts the figure at 77 percent of custodial parents. A poll for www.Wevorce.com, conducted by GFK Roper Public Affairs and Media, put the figure at closer to 70 percent.While most parents who receive court-ordered child support are women, when it comes to nonpayment of that money, there is no statistical difference between the sexes in delinquency, according to the census.
Leving, co-author of the Illinois Joint Custody Law and author of "Divorce Wars," a guide to divorce battle tactics, believes the problem stems from the court system — which is ordering payments that are too high for most people to afford. And parents whose children live with their ex — called noncustodial parents — have a hard time getting the court to cut the payments when they can't pay them.
But Friedman,who is general counsel for the Fathers Rights Association of New York and the Fathers Rights Association of Long Island, said two parents with the same financial means can make different choices — one might consider child support a priority and paywhile another parent might say he or she can't pay because the money needs to go elsewhere.
Linda Leitz, a financial planner for Pinnacle Financial Concepts and author of "We Need to Talk: Money and Kids after Divorce,"thinks most people pay their child support, but Like anything, it's those egregious exceptions to the rule that stand out and make us think abut how we can make the system better,"she said. Leitz, whose book focuses on resolving financial issues after divorce, believes most noncustodial parents have the means to make the court-ordered payments.For those who can't because their pay has declined or they've lost their jobs,there's always an option: If you really cannot pay, then by all means, get in front of a judge who will agree with you,"Leitz said.
If there are financial issues,a noncustodial parent should return to court or talk with their child support enforcement agency as soon as possible, said Elaine Garretson, who fought her ex-husband for 32 years for unpaid child support. Don't ignore it because it is overwhelming,"said Garretson, who documented her experience in the book, "Deadbeat Daddy."
Contemplating Divorce?
For attorney Eric Rosenkoetter, the issue is clear cut. Rosenkoetter,executive counsel for government relations and legislative affairs for SupportKids, a private child support collection agency, said some parents simply choose not to pay — even when they have the money. That's a lot of parents not paying one single dime," he said.
In his work, Rosenkoetter said, talking with the noncustodial parent about the mounting debt of court-ordered child support can help. He said noncustodial parents who get behind in their payments tend to give up completely. …That's the worst thing they can do because it just gets them farther behind faster," Rosenkoetter said.

Top of the terror class
A former student of a US community college has risen to the upper echelons of al-Qaeda's global operations, security officials have said. According to the US government, Adnan el Shukrijumah, a former science and chemistry student from Broward County Community College in Florida, was part of an "external operations council" that conceived and approved terrorism plots. The Miami Herald reported that the fugitive, who is believed to be hiding in Pakistan, rose to operations chief when a number of his fellow terrorists were killed by a US drone attack. His precise whereabouts have been unknown since he left his home in Miramar, Florida a week before the New York terror attacks of 11 September 2001.
'Arab Spring' in the academy
The European Students' Union is to work with the Euro-Mediterranean University to back democratic change at North African and Middle Eastern universities. The collaboration will focus on institutions in Jordan, Egypt, Libya and Tunisia in light of the recent uprisings in those countries. The ESU states that the fluid situation in the region made it necessary to set up "a solid foundation for a democratic civil society" by organising workshops to support democratic change and human rights in higher education institutions. Bert Vandenkendelaere, the ESU's chairman, said: "It is of tremendous importance to improve the quality of education in North African and Middle Eastern countries. They need our assistance in setting up high-quality universities ... to improve the future life prospects of young people."
United States
'Sham' leader in dock for fraud
The president of a US university dubbed a "sham" by federal prosecutors has been arrested over her alleged involvement in fraudulent student-visa schemes. Susan Xiao-Ping Su, president of Tri-Valley University, was arrested last week after a federal grand jury indicted her on 33 counts of conspiracy to commit visa fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, "alien harbouring" and making false statements. The Contra Costa Times reported that the indictment alleges that the president engaged in a two-year scheme to allow students to stay in the country on student visas without attending classes in exchange for cash. It also claims she committed money laundering crimes totalling more than $3.2 million (£1.9 million) from the proceeds of the visa fraud. "Today's indictment alleges a visa-fraud scheme through which the defendant accrued millions of dollars and took advantage of others' eagerness to come to the US," said Melinda Haag, US attorney for Northern California.
Flour power
Three public universities in Singapore have received S$1 million (£493,000) each from a flour-milling firm. Prima Ltd has donated the sum to the National University of Singapore, the Nanyang Technological University and Singapore Management University to mark its 50th anniversary. In addition, the Singapore University of Technology and Design has been awarded S$2 million, which it said would be used to fund scholarships. The company said the institution had received more than the others because it was a new university and needed more financial support. Channel NewsAsia reported that some of the donations will be used to set up professorships and fund research.
Multidisciplinary oversight
The vice-president of a Qatari education organisation has become the inaugural president of the country's new multidisciplinary university. Abdulla bin Ali al-Thani, a senior official at the Qatar Foundation, will head the Hamad bin Khalifa University, according to the Gulf Times. The university was created by the foundation to complement the activities of international branch campuses at the Education City complex. Dr al-Thani said he was "deeply honoured" to have been entrusted with the leadership of the institution. "Qatar Foundation's academic network enables it to offer programmes whose quality matches that of its partner institutions. Now we are seeking even greater benefit for Qatar and the region by guiding a multidisciplinary, research-led university," he added.

Few wines are anticipated like Beaujolais nouveau, that purple-y, peppery elixir that is born in France of the Gamay grape. That's in part due to Beaujolais and Thanksgiving going hand-in-hand in people's minds, and the fact that the wine keeps to the same annual release date: the third Thursday in November. It's like Beaujolais nouveau's birthday, and how do we thank it, year after year? By drinking it right down, and then sighing with satisfaction. Cruel, deliciously cruel.
Wine havens and other institutions around Los Angeles will be toasting the event with specials and tastings; Beaujolais Passions at the Petersen Automotive Museum is but un grand boum on Thursday, November 19th, 2009. Another major soiree is the Francophone Fest at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, also on Thursday, November 19th.
So, what's the deal? First off, there are several labels that turn out the Beaujolais nouveau, so the prices vary, meaning that picking one up for that Thanksgiving Eve appetizer party you've committed to won't be too painful in le pocketbook.
Two, it's a seasonal tradition, like those platters of over-fried hot-wing platters that seem to spring up everywhere just before Superbowl Sunday, so picking up a bottle during the next week feels like the appropriate thing to do.
And three, it's yummy. "Deeply yummy" and "tickly to the tongue in a yummy way" are some words we've used in the past while drinking it. We're wishing now we'd thrown in "leatherishly oaky" or "like butter on hot corn" but we clearly weren't on the ball at the time.
Beaujolais c'est (almost) arrive!

The equinox can be described as the time when the center of our Sun is situated over our equator, which happens once in spring and once in autumn. On equinoxes, the length of days and nights are about equal on the entire planet, though this isn't perfectly so for various reasons. Regardless, the equinoxes have been seen as special moments since pre-historic times, meaning that they are excellent times to head out on vacation.
Athens, Greece
Greece has its fair share of natural beauty. However, there are a lot of people out there who choose to visit that particular country because of its historical sites, which are connected to a culture that continue to have a pervasive influence throughout the west. There are various places from which interested individuals can start their exploration of Greece, but Athens tends to be an excellent choice. In part, this is because of its cultural legacies. However, it should also be noted that its status as the current Greek capital makes it a sensible starting point from the perspective of logistics. Better still, fall means a lowering in the number of tourists, a lowering in the prices for tourists, and a lowering in temperatures without becoming cold, which can make it an excellent season for those who are curious in the sights and sounds of Greece.
Bavaria, Germany
For most people, Bavaria might be most familiar to them because of Oktoberfest. However, it is important to remember that Bavaria has other cultural institutions that are worth checking out, with examples ranging from its art museums to the Nymphenburg Palace. In particular, head out on the Romantic Road, which passes through both pastoral villages and picture-perfect towns to finish at the foothills of the Alps, which come with their own wonderful tourism opportunities as well.
Cusco, Peru
Cusco was once the capital of the Inca Empire. Nowadays, it is still a city of some note, but it tends to be best-known for its archaeological sites as well as its buildings from the Spanish colonial period. The single most famous site in the entire region is Machu Picchu, which is a classical Inca citadel erected on high ground that remains the single most famous symbol of that particular civilization. With that said, be warned that the bookings for visiting the site can be filled for months and months, meaning that people who are planning to head out to Cusco in Peru should make sure to make their bookings well ahead of time lest they are forced to leave in disappointment.
Montreal, Canada
The Canadian province of Quebec possesses a distinctive culture from the rest of Canada. Primarily, this is because it started up because of French speakers, who have had a very different experience from their English-speaking counterparts to say the least. Regardless, this culture means that Quebec can be very interesting for outsiders, though they might want to start out in Montreal, which is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the entire country. Partly, this is because Montreal has its own wonderful sites of interest that are livened up by the brilliant colors of the fall that are best between mid September and early November. However, it should also be noted that a lot of its residents are bilingual, which should make it much easier for outsiders to get around.
Southern California, United States
Autumn is a surprisingly good time to visit Southern California. First, this is because the region experiences Indian summers, meaning that it will remain relatively warm later into the calendar. Second, this is because the beaches will become less crowded during the season, which should make for a better experience for those who head there anyways. Finally, it needs to be mentioned that fall can make for some truly spectacular sunsets in Southern California, which can make its already impressive landscape that much more so when interested individuals manage to catch them at the right places at the right times.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (B)
The purpose of this study is to develop the methods to analyze the influence of traffic information to individuals' travel behaviors and to estimate the traffic demand under the information systems. For this purpose, in this study, some problems of the ordinary behavioral model are identified and the concept of the new behavioral model to solve these problems are considered.At first, six problems of the ordinary disaggregate behavioral models to analyze the influence of traffic information are discussed. And the concepts of the new models to solve these problems are discussed and some of them are applied to the homecoming trips and shopping trips under the hypothetical traffic information. These are (1) the models included drivers' past experience, (2) the models included the substitution of each factor of alternatives, (3) the models included the increase of the factors to be considered to evaluate the alternatives, and (4) the models included the difference of individuals in evaluation of the alternatives.By the application of these models, it is known that the problems of ordinary behavioral models can be solved by these new models and some knowledge are given about the drivers' behavior under the traffic information systems.

Moss Creek Planation has very little activity because people who discover it tend to stay put. In all of the period from January 1, 2010 to May, 2011, there were only three sales - a Victorian listed for $319,900 (down from $359,900) is under contract, a colonial with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths sold for $354,816 (from $395,000) and a colonial with 4 bedrooms and 4 baths and partially finished basement sold for $260,000 (from $299,000). I have details of these and other properties in Moss Creek.
The only two properties now available (May 2, 2011) are the elegant one-level contemporary on Headtown Road with over 6 acres, and a colonial with four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, beautiful gardens and lots of great features, just back on the market and drastically reduced in price. Although this is not my listing, I have many pictures and details. Perhaps the most important highlights of this property are the exceptional yard and gardens. Custom built by Frank Hobson, it was designed with great care and the owners have spent years improving both the home and the yard (1.36 beautiful acres).
One of the attractive neighborhoods on Claude Simmons Road, Moss Creek Plantation is a quiet area of only thirty-six homes on two streets of well-kept homes which show their owners' pride. Homes are mostly traditional in a range of prices. You may be familiar with some of the neighboring subdivisions, separated by rolling hills and beautiful farmland - Strawberry Fields, Alexanders Grove, Sterling Springs, Mizpah Hills, and the new development, Sawyers Pond.
I have detailed information on properties in all of these neighborhoods and will be happy to help you in any way I can.
If you are thinking of this as a place you might like to live, may I tell you why people enjoy living in Moss Creek? They enjoy being in a small neighborhood (only thirty-six homes) surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful farmland. They appreciate the lower taxes of not being in the city. They like walking or driving past lovely homes and well-maintained yards, visiting with friendly neighbors. Moss Creek Plantation is close to Johnson City Medical Center, Quillen College of Medicine, School of Pharmacy, VA Hospital and a wide variety of specialty medical practices. The new Children's Hospital (2008) and Franklin Woods Hospital (2010) are within fifteen minutes. It's close to many restaurants and shopping areas, including new Hamilton Place, over 250,000 square feet of retail space on State of Franklin, still growing.

Case Management
The Court may set the case for Case Management in short order. This is a hearing before the Court for the attorneys to tell the Court where the case is proceeding and how long they think it will take to prepare it for trial. Your attendance is not normally mandatory but as always you are welcome to attend any hearing on your case and if the Judge requires your attendance we will notify you. Once the matter has been heard at Case Management and if you have previously mediated and reached impasse, it will be set for pre-trial at which time the attorneys will appear before the Court and set the time and date for hearing with the Court's assistance. It will be necessary that we provide a list of all witnesses and identify all documents which we intend to use at trial. Your help is instrumental in this process and I ask that you identify all witnesses whom you believe would assist with the trial and all documents which you believe would be beneficial to the Court at trial to prove our case.
I cannot identify all the documents that would assist with your particular case but these would include bank statements, photos, purchase agreements, receipts, checks, letters and other documents to help the Court determine if the property or debt is marital or non-marital or to otherwise prove your needs and entitlements.You will be billed according to our written agreement on a monthly basis. The statute provides that the party with the greater ability to pay is responsible for the fees and costs, but the Courts have traditionally required payment of fees and costs according to each party's ability based upon the assets and income of each after conclusion of the case.
I prefer that you place all requests or questions in writing so that I may answer them in writing. Please understand that my secretary, Marge, has been with me for 32 years and is integral to my business. I ask that you treat her with the respect and courtesy that she deserves. She is not the attorney on your case and she is only authorized to give out scheduling information or information to the client that is contained in the file. Confidential information will not be given over the telephone as she cannot be assured she is speaking with the client and I ask that you seek such information only from me. If it is scheduling of appointments or checking on upcoming hearings or the like, I ask that you ask Marge for this information in order that I do not have to charge you for the telephone call on a matter that she is well qualified to respond to. Other matters which she is not qualified to answer will be turned over to me by her. Leaving detailed messages with her will facilitate our return of your call.
We look forward to dealing with you in this very stressful time of your life and hope that you will help us improve the practice should you see any area in which we may improve. Working together we will get the best results and benefits for you.

Maybe they're in denial.
Nine out of 10 parents believe that childhood obesity is a nationwide crisis – but half of the parents of overweight kids failed to recognize their own child's weight problem, according to a new study.
Only 4 percent of polled parents reported that their little darlings were 20 percent or more over their ideal weight, according to the survey by Consumer Reports, which was released online yesterday.
But when the parents fed pollsters their kids' height and weight, the numbers revealed that a hefty 19 percent of the kids were overweight.
"There seems to be a disconnect between what parents say and what's happening in their home," said Nicole Saunders, associate health editor.
In addition, almost half of the parents of kids who were considered "overweight" (20 percent over their ideal size) said the family doctor never recommended the kids diet.
The survey – which polled more than 3,000 adults across the country – also found that overweight kids were much more influenced by TV commercials for food and restaurants.
