Freshtime Futures Trust is set to host a star-studded annual gala to raise awareness and funds to support young people in Lincolnshire.
The Night with the Stars Gala will take place on Saturday 28th October 2017 at Springfields Event Centre in Spalding, Lincolnshire and promises to be a night to remember.
Headline acts Aaron Carty as Beyoncé and Jamie Flanagan as Michael Bublé will join the Bootleg Bee Gees and The Look to entertain guests while professional impressionist Darren Altman, who rose to fame on Britain's Got Talent, will MC the event.
The gala is one of a handful of events planned for the year to help the Freshtime Futures Trust raise funds to support local young people in achieving their ambitions.
Mark Newton, Managing Director of Freshtime and Trustee of the Freshtime Futures Trust, said: "We received such positive feedback from everyone who attended our first gala that when people started to ask what our plans were for 2017 we wondered how we would ever top it.
"Having raised £40,000 during the gala in 2016 we knew that we would have to pull out all the stops this year to deliver even more to our guests, and we hope the choice of entertainment reflects that."
The trust recently announced its first beneficiaries as pupils of The Pilgrim School, a Community Special School (Hospital School) which supports 120 children aged four to 16 across its sites in Lincoln, Sleaford, Louth and Boston.
ther round of beneficiaries will be announced soon after the next trustees' meeting.
In the meantime, applications for funding are sought from young people aged 11 to 25 living in the Lincolnshire area who need financial support to help them achieve their goals. Application forms can be downloaded from http://freshtimefuturestrust.org
Funding can be used to pay for anything from specialist sports equipment to travel costs to attend school, further education or an apprenticeship. Applicants who enjoy a specialist sport or art should also get in touch if they need equipment or access to expert training.
To buy tickets for the Night with the Stars Gala Dinner, which cost £50 each, contact the team on 07769 930 124 or email email@example.com

5 Doughy Male Sitcom Characters Who Make the Rest of Us Feel a Little Better About Ourselves
By Dustin Rowles | Lists | April 17, 2012 |
By Dustin Rowles | Lists | April 17, 2012 |
This post is not designed, in any way, to discount the issues that women face today when they pick up a magazine or turn on the television and find that their reflections are not accurately depicted in pop culture landscape, and I hope to God it's not taken that way. This is a much more difficult issue for most women: Our culture sets unfair standards for females, and it sucks when many try to live up to those impossible standards. For instance, I saw an image of a former iCarly star on Buzzfeed this morning and it made me ill: No woman should ever aspire show off her rib cage. That's not even something that's photoshopped in, and as a dude with daughters now, I got a little shaky at the thought that some teenage girl might stumble upon her favorite "iCarly" star and push herself to look like that. There's no shame in natural thinness, of course, but this image seems to celebrate an unnatural form of beauty.
Still, while this is an issue more complicated and complex for women, it's not something to which men are immune. We feel insecurity, too. We have self-esteem issues about our bodies, as well. Most guys do not look like Joel McHale or Taylor Kitch when we take off our shirts. In fact, because society expects even less from us, we're inclined to meet those lowered expectations. As a result, a lot of us are prone to letting it get away from us, and it can feel defeating. While fat guys on television -- Kevin James, Jim Belushi -- often manage to marry women with a heady mixture of sloth and charming sexism, the more doughy among television's men often tend to attract women with enough wit to compensate for their spare tires.
This makes dudes feel good.
Indeed, it's nice to see guys on television who cannot fit into Banana Republic's skinny jeans and who wear a lot of hoodies to disguise their lack of six-pack abs. When we see a guy with a spare tire married to Anna Faris or dating Michelle Williams, it gives many dudes hope, even if it's false hope that belies the fact that they're not wealthy and on television or even half as funny. But we can aspire, can't we? And we can aspire without wasting hours at the gym. If only we can reboot a beloved and long-dormant franchise with sophisticated wit and charm, Michelle Williams will love us, too!
Here are five guys who we see on television that make us feel better about ourselves.
Jake Johnson, "New Girl"
Jason Segel, "How I Met Your Mother"
Tracy Morgan, "30 Rock"
Adam Pally, "Happy Endings"
Chris Pratt, "Parks and Recreation"

Medical Treatment Guidelines Available Online
WSI has recently begun publishing medical treatment guidelines, which WSI uses in the Utilization Review and Claim management process.
The treatment guidelines are evidence based and developed primarily from Work Loss Data Institute's Official Disability Guidelines (ODG) . By adopting these guidelines, WSI ensures the use of the latest available medical evidence to facilitate optimal treatment decisions for an injured worker. Medical providers should be familiar with the guidelines and follow the recommendations.
Currently, the only published guideline is the Lumbar Fusion Guidelines; however, WSI will continuously add more procedures to the list as treatment guidelines are developed. To view the guidelines, visit the Medical Provider – Treating Patients section of our website.
For a complete copy of ODG guidelines and access to the references, subscribe to ODG. WSI has negotiated a discounted rate of $220 per user ($279 off the regular rate of $499).

These six-foot tall KEF speakers are made of shiny aluminum, and they're so incomprehensible that the high-end Brit speaker maker has named them after an atomic particle. Muon speakers aim high, trying to be the ultimate loudspeaker, with their specially molded aluminum form that the company calls "organic." We were wondering, though, what does "organic" sound like? Chirping birds? Free-range barnyard noises?
Aside from that crock of total horseshit in the press release, we do like those undulating curves of Muon's daring design; kinda reminds us of our fave architect, Frank Gehry. But sheesh, can't there somewhere be a full head-to-toe shot of these things? Well, what do we expect? The speakers will be introduced at some froufrou design trade show in Milan, and of course, price was not part of the conversation.

These are stills of the video shoot last week. Thanks to Kim, Rhoia, Natasha, JoAnne and David for the water niad come to life story. I am eager to start the edit. Though i have a new program with it's inherent learning curve so may take me awhile.
There is a saying here..the simple "if its worth doing, it's worth doing well" and the more heroic
"To do anything in this world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and shrinking of the cold and danger, but jump in, and scramble through as well as we can. ~ Sydney Smith"
Ok this is over the top for the task at hand, yet i like the attitude and it suits the whole of fashionRIP. On the path with faith and ever widening knowledge this is how to play in unified fields.

Making the mother first guardian in all official papers — from birth certificates to school admission — is missing the point. Badly. High-powered panel it may be that decided that women will be "empowered" if we drop dad's name a notch below, but how can being named ahead of a man in a shared responsibility activity be viewed as empowerment? Enlighten me.
Common sense suggests that if 'first' and 'second' guardian slots in any given official form are creating problems, change the language of the form. Drop the first and second and third, just keep it at Guardian and ask for both guardians' names if applicable. If it's a single parent, so be it. If it's not a biological guardian, that is if the kid has a step dad or mom, that too should be kosher. And importantly, make sure that the kid faces no problems, and neither do his/her guardians, if the guardians' names in the birth certificate do not tally with those in the school admission form. Life happens.
The problem lies not in whose name comes first, the problem lies in the system trying to split guardianship. Equal guardians, equal responsibility. It is ridiculous to suggest that by putting the mother's name first, the child is better off.
Surely guardianship should be made gender-neutral or gender-agnostic, defined by what is good for the child. At the risk of repeating, you can't pull out the bogey of empowerment to say women first. It's unethical and against all senses of natural justice. Guardianship cannot be viewed as empowerment of women.
One of the reports have quoted an again-single woman who has said that with these changes, a mother will then be able to take decisions on a child's behalf without the system asking who the father is. I understand this to mean that the system must grant a mother, as a guardian, the authority to decide for her child without asking a male authority. Fair enough.
The rule should then read Any Guardian Can Take A Decision. Not mom first!
Point is, if we don't change the language and simply switch slots, we continue with the only First Guardian Can Decide rule, if it exists. So if we make the mother first guardian, are we practically telling daddy get off, you can't decide for the child. And if that's not the case, then hello, committee, are we talking paper-work here or mindset?
Are the suggestions of empowerment as reported not at the expense of another individual's basic right? Dads don't have the equal rights over their children? Hogwash.
This report seems to be divisive and ill-conceived, its intentions fuzzy in the first place. Also, if the term 'empowerment' is used in this conflicting manner, it will soon become a dirty word.
That said, custody battles are necessarily traumatic. It is about splitting guardianship, though we do seem to confuse it with ownership of a child. But I have yet to hear of a dad getting custody of his kids because his name was written in the First Guardian slot in a school admission form or the birth certificate. The general perception, and this is a point made out of anecdotal non-data, is that in India it is usually financial or health considerations where a father gets an under-12's custody. It's well worth asking the high-powered panel to show us the evidence that demands such a change.
Empower women by all means. Make laws gender-friendly. Give women recognition as farmers for starters. Currently, though women perform about 70% of all agricultural activities, the farmer must be a man. Change that ma, will you? Or is the ministry of women and child development only concerned with the woman's role as a mother and that's all they need to 'empower'?
Give women recognition as single parents and as heads of family. Don't make them run around pillar to post to fill up the simplest of forms. Get the system to recognise The Mother As Equal Guardian. But not More Than Dad, or worse, Better Than Dad.
Dads matter. Don't mess with them. And when looking at guardianship, focus on the child, not on empowering women.

Advantages of Cloud Computing
One of the less talked about advantages of cloud computing is the 'BYOD' culture within the workplace. Standing for 'Bring Your Own Device', this allows employees to use their own laptops and mobile devices to access their company log-in in order to complete work, share information and perform a number of other day-to-day business-related tasks. It's an immense cost saving for business-owners as the budget used for purchasing, insuring, maintaining and regularly replacing office technology is massively reduced.
Advantages of Cloud Computing
With employees having constant access to databases and company information at any time, employers benefit from a more productive workforce. Rather than the traditional routine of having to get ready and commute to their desk to begin their working day, employees tend to be 'on' from the minute they are up, thanks now to cloud computing. Commuters can get more done in their day. Business travel no longer means a lost day in the office. And for organisations keen to ensure they retain the skills of employees who are also parents, they can continue working and fitting in their eight or nine hour work day between their school runs and in the evening. All in, BYOD helps to promote a healthy work/life balance and a happier, more effective workforce.
The Cost and Service Advantage of a Cloud Server
Although you don't need to have your server on Cloud to embrace many of its advantages, more and more companies are choosing to move their servers to Cloud for cost savings. Moving your servers into the cloud reduces the need for expensive bulky servers and computer rooms to keep all of a company's information stored securely. While big corporations used to dedicate large suites of rooms – or even entire floors – to their computer servers and data storage areas, these can all be done away with, with the cloud. The renting of virtual storage and using digital storage solutions are much cheaper than trying to keep everything in-house. Companies that offer cloud storage can also devote much more of their resources to protecting their client's data than each of those clients could possibly hope to do on their own. Information in the cloud is kept securely (as long as recommended security procedures are adhered to!) and with digital vaults becoming ever more popular, they are kept fully up to date with the latest security features, anti-virus programs and firewalls.
By using the cloud for company records and information, you are less at risk of losing your data. In a traditional office block, the computers, along with all the current information is kept on one floor, or all in one area. Back-ups are generally stored in safes or in filing rooms in the same building. In the event of a natural disaster or exceptional weather, the office building could be catastrophically damaged, even destroyed…along with all that information. Keeping data in the cloud ensures that once new premises have been found, the company can swing back into action immediately.
Cloud Advantages for Small Businesses
Many small businesses, most of them sole traders or freelance workers, operate efficiently due to the cloud. They are able to keep their costs down, respond to customer queries from anywhere, at any time and keep their online presence fresh and active. Many large companies have also very successfully moved to the cloud. One example is Netflix, the television streaming company. Accounting for up to one third of all the internet traffic of North America on average weeknights, Netflix keeps up with user demand only thanks to the flexibility and scope of the cloud, and is now seen to be one of the most important cloud computing companies. Apple is another example. Their smart and savvy personal assistant Siri can access huge amounts of information, processing questions and responding quickly thanks to the shift into the cloud. Without it Siri would be slower, less responsive and unable to give the tailored responses that make her seem almost human.
There are many other advantages of cloud computing we haven't even mentioned here. With the ability to dramatically transform the way a workplace works, almost every business model can benefit.

Our coaches and dietitians will sit down and chat with you to understand how your mind, body, social and work life operates.
We want to get down to the nitty gritty to see how you tick – we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We want to get to know YOU.
From that first consultation we'll help you to establish both short-term and long-term goals, along with a nutrition plan to suit your lifestyle, fitness level and physical ability.
Next it's time to kick start your training with a free trial, where we'll conduct an initial fitness assessment session with you so we can review your physical abilities and fitness level.
This is also a great opportunity for you to see how we operate.
Our PC Health club coaches will do a full review to tailor an individualised health and fitness plan to ensure we get everything that's needed to help you achieve your goals.
Body composition scans and measurements. A body composition scan allows us to review a deeper understanding of your body make-up with comprehensive measurements instead of just looking at the scales. This scan assists setting realistic goals about losing fat, toning up, and putting on muscle.
You have the option of a sit-down consultation with our dietitians so they can put together a nutrition plan in accordance with your goals and dietary requirements.
New workouts every week that are allocated and tailored to you
At the beginning of each week our coaches prepare 12 brand new workouts which are displayed on a weekly rotating menu. These consist of six functional fat burning workouts, and six workouts based around strength and conditioning.
At the start of each week we'll ask you to update us on your weekly schedule, so we know how many training sessions you will be able to attend. Of course, we welcome and encourage you to attend as many as you like, but we also understand that life gets busy and each week can differ.
Once you confirm your availability for the week, our coaches will then allocate the appropriate goal-specific workouts especially for you within your schedule. (Nb: This process is reviewed on a weekly basis to assist with your fitness goals.)
Workouts are tailored to each individual and in addition to these workouts your coach will add in extra programming depending on individual goals, rehab, fitness levels or other health issues.
Our service is very much designed and tailored to meet individual needs.
Once your workouts are allocated, you then have the flexibility of coming into the gym anytime during our coaching hours and having a trainer available to you to take you through the workouts.
Our friendly trainers will be there to welcome you as soon as you set foot inside the gym, eager to get you started on your path to success.
We'll also be there to monitor all your sessions and beware – if you miss one, we'll chase you up!
Your success is our success.
Flexibility to come in whenever you want – no bookings necessary.
Train for as long as you want, or as short as you want.
No group classes, you train on your terms and at your own pace with your own workouts.
PC Health club coaches are available to you to suit your needs – eg. provide you with specific assistance, help with training techniques, support you with lifting, rehab exercises, or motivation to help you dig deeper.
Our PC Health club app lets you communicate with coaches and dietitians 24/7.
Our dietitians use it to develop nutrition plans, track your daily nutrition and give you instant feedback on food choices. Moreover, Our Coaches use it to create custom workouts, keep track of your progress and if you have a fitbit we track how hard you work in the gym.

Eating Disorders
We have conducted research on eating disorders in Oxford for the last 30 years ! Cooper & Fairburn have focussed on the description and definition of eating disorders across diagnoses, as well as their treatment using psychological methods. These range from enhanced cognitive behavioural to interpersonal psychotherapy, with a particular interest in disseminating these psychotherapies using the new information media in an innovative fashion. More basic research is done by the Park and McCabe groups, who investigate the brain mechanisms involved in the development and maintenance of eating disorders. They are interested in the effects of food as a reward on brain responses, as well as ways of processing information particular to patients with eating disorders. In their research, clinicians work closely with experimental psychologists and neuroscientists to throw light on both physical and mental aspects of these disorders.

Your Preparation For My PHP Components Session At #phpnw11 On Friday
Posted by Stuart Herbert on October 4th, 2011 in #phpnw, Conferences.
Coming to my Friday session Maintainable Applications In PHP Using Components at PHP NorthWest 2011 Conference? Great! I'm looking forward to meeting you.
And I have a little bit of prep work for you to do before the session, please 🙂
- This is a hands-on session, so make sure that you pack your laptop and its power supply!
- Please get your dev environment setup and working before you leave – in particular, make sure that you have the latest version of phix (current 0.13.2) installed.
I've published installation instructions for:
If your operating system of choice isn't one of those, there are also manual installation instructions on the Phix Project's website.
There'll be a few minutes at the start to help anyone having trouble with their development environment, (and I'm free all morning for anyone who needs longer) but because we only have about 3.5 hours to cover everything, anyone who turns up with a seriously fscked dev environment will be asked to pair-program for the rest of the session, sorry!
- Have a clear idea what you need to get out of our afternoon session together.
- Bring along a list of any questions you might have. Hopefully the session will cover most of these … the rest I'm sure we'll cover in the bar afterwards!
I'm not expecting you to have read my series of blog posts about creating and maintaining packaged components of PHP code, but you will find the session easier to follow if you have.
Interested, but haven't bought a ticket yet? Buy one now 🙂 In the US? I'll be doing an all-day version of this session at ZendCon in mid-October together with Chris Hartjes.
Already using phix, and got ideas and suggestions to make it better? I'll be around throughout the Saturday and Sunday of #phpnw11 (normally with my beloved Nikon at hand – that's how to recognise me!), and I'd be delighted to get your feedback and discuss your ideas further.

text: Fat Cat Posted December 24, 2014 Figured it's about time for this thread. Jump Festa just went by and Square released some gameplay, a new character (Cidney, not Cindy), and a new trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ6TcgcYpPs Still no release date (of course), but it looks like it's getting there finally. I wasn't really excited before honestly, but it's starting to look pretty fun even if the boy band main characters are kind of cliche. Share this post Link to post

Thank you so much for this info, it was something we never looked at as we had no idea of parents, as despite every certificate that we have purchased, and there have been quiet a few, nothing helped. The brother Alfred and George who is mentioned being in Melbourne and his profession a Tanner looks like you have finally given us the breakthrough we need. George is Bootmaker on one of the certificates and his son in law was a tanner so it is adding up.
This will help us greatly, once again, thank for your help.

In his article A Brief Rant on the Future of Interaction, Bret Victor counters the status quo and a recent video from Microsoft projecting the future of interaction. Victor argues that, while the future does encapsulate using our hands, the future is tactile and not touching glass or 'Pictures Under Glass.'
He summarizes his argument as:
In this rant, I'm not going to talk about human needs. Everyone talks about that; it's the single most popular conversation topic in history.
And I'm not going to talk about about technology. That's the easy part, in a sense, because we control it. Technology can be invented; human nature is something we're stuck with.
I'm going to talk about that neglected third factor, human capabilities. What people can do. Because if a tool isn't designed to be used by a person, it can't be a very good tool, right?
He further argues:
Now, take out your favorite Magical And Revolutionary Technology Device. Use it for a bit.
What did you feel? Did it feel glassy? Did it have no connection whatsoever with the task you were performing?
I call this technology Pictures Under Glass. Pictures Under Glass sacrifice all the tactile richness of working with our hands, offering instead a hokey visual facade.
Is that so bad, to dump the tactile for the visual? Try this: close your eyes and tie your shoelaces. No problem at all, right? Now, how well do you think you could tie your shoes if your arm was asleep? Or even if your fingers were numb? When working with our hands, touch does the driving, and vision helps out from the back seat.
Pictures Under Glass is an interaction paradigm of permanent numbness. It's a Novocaine drip to the wrist. It denies our hands what they do best. And yet, it's the star player in every Vision Of The Future.
And finally:
Our hands feel things, and our hands manipulate things. Why aim for anything less than a dynamic medium that we can see, feel, and manipulate?
I agree that this vision is more far reaching and one that many an engineer has attempted — trying to get closer and closer to reality. We often need to push future visions beyond what we expect today.

The highly anticipated Cris "Cyborg" Justino vs. Amanda Nunes fight is closer to becoming a reality.
The UFC is hoping to book the women's featherweight title fight for UFC 232 on Dec. 29 in Las Vegas, sources confirmed with ESPN.
Nunes posted a signed bout agreement for that event on social media Wednesday night, after Justino tried to persuade her earlier in the day to fight at UFC 228 on Sept. 8.
According to multiple sources, the promotion wants the fight to happen at its year-end show, scheduled to take place at T-Mobile Arena. The fight is expected to be for Justino's 145-pound title.
Justino (20-1, 1 NC) is considered the best female fighter in the world. Her lone loss came in her professional debut in 2005, and most recently she defeated Yana Kunitskaya in March via first-round TKO. Justino has openly stated that she would like to fight before Dec. 29, but that doesn't appear to be the plan at this time.
Nunes (16-4) is the UFC women's bantamweight champion. Her win over Raquel Pennington in May was her seventh in a row, and she holds victories over Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Valentina Shevchenko, among others. Should she win, Nunes would become just the third fighter in UFC history to be a champion in two weight classes at the same time.

Apple is taking over the games market. One day soon your iPad will be a full replacement for your Xbox, Wii or PlayStation. It will run the latest games, the latest technologies and its processor will possess enough grunt to match any gaming console out there.
Think about it. Apple's already selling millions of games each month via the App Store, where games are the biggest-selling category.
Look at the craze for Angry Birds at the moment. There's already talk of a movie and the game is the both the top-grossing iPhone and iPad gaming title. This one title has racked up over 10 million paid downloads on the iPhone so far -- that's success, right?
Look at the other titles in there: Scrabble, Reckless Racing, Restaurant Story and more. What you'll see is that when it comes to games Apple is offering the full range: from casual to traditional; from action to adventure and more.
[This story is from Computerworld's Apple Holic blog. Follow on Twitter or subscribe via RSS to make sure you don't miss a beat.]
Some of the most advanced (and expensive) games hint at the kind of power you'll see in future titles, as new games engines appear for the platform, (Unreal is on its way).
What we see now is just the tip of the iceberg. Apple is already developing iPad 2.0. This will host a faster processor, will maintain the as-yet unintroduced AirPlay support and offer much, much more.
That faster processor, and further improvements in the hardware and system level support and developer implementation of ever-more sophisticated graphic technologies will open new vistas for gaming on Apple's platform.
In time it's likely we'll see some impact from this as some games migrate from iOS to the Mac via Apple's Mac App Store. Apple will become a pre-eminent gaming company.
Think too about Apple's GameCenter. The social gaming network lets you play games against friends and strangers, offers online leaderboards, matchmaking and more. We learn today that Apple has begun approving a range of titles which support GameCenter, as it prepares the ground for the release of iOS 4.2.
Here's the future scenario, a lot of which is already here: You'll be in a bar with friends, you'll pull out your iPad and play a shared game of Monopoly. Each of your chums may have their money and property portfolios held privately on their own smartphone.
Perhaps you'll all play a racing game, with each vehicle controlled by each player's own phone, but visible on your iPad. That game already exists and is called PadRacer -- and is featured in this video.
When you get home, you'll hit the AirPlay button to play whatever your latest fast-paced action game might be, using your iPad as the controller but watching the action on your flatscreen TV, thanks to your Apple TV box.
After this you might watch a film or TV show downloaded from iTunes, Netflix or another source, or perhaps just bore yourself to sleep with broadcast TV. Maybe you'll make a FaceTime call.
This isn't a pipedream. This is what games industry insiders are whispering about.
Donald Mustard is the creative director at Epic subsidiary, Chair Entertainment. He believes that a game with graphics as complex as those found in 2006 Xbox hit, 'Gears of War' will be possible to run on the iPhone by 2012.
He was speaking to Develop Magazine as Epic moves toward the release of Infinity Blade, its first title to run on Epic's Unreal Engine 3.
The game is already "way beyond" what you can expect on a DS or PSP, he added.
Epic Games VO Mark Rein believes mobile gaming is the future. That in future games consoles will be more powerful and portable. They won't be huge devices permanently tied to your TV.
"Imagine walking into a bar with some friends, propping it up on the table and playing games like Dance Central or Kinect Adventures anywhere you go," he said.
"Then when you get home that same device will use technology like AirPlay or wireless HDMI to connect to your big screen, you'll pick up a wireless controller, or use your phone as controller to play games like Gears of War," he told Develop magazine.
These are just some of the reasons gamers will flock to future Apple devices.
Developers will continue to offer titles for the platform, because it isn't fragmented, making it relatively easy to develop for; because it already has a huge market of potential customers and because those customers are already primed and ready to spend cash on digital content.
Customers will continue to get into Apple's ecosystem because it is secure, stable and offers a consistent quality experience (failed alarm clocks notwithstanding).
Contrast that stability with this study from Coverity, which reveals hundreds of defects within Android's OS, 25 percent of which are high risk.
Another Apple advantage here is that while the likes of Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo see games as the principal market for their gaming solutions; Apple sees games as just one of its markets, albeit one in which it shines.
And this will be part of the reason Apple is expected to sell 100 million iPhones and up to 48 million iPads next year, according to the analysts at Wedge Partners.
In gaming, competitors are fretful. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime last month told Forbes, that Apple is becoming a rival that could "absolutely hurt us more than Microsoft in the near term."
Think about this, and then think about what you'd like a game to do on your iOS device. Then see if anyone's developed it yet, because if they haven't perhaps you could make an App for that.
Signing-off, here's today's funniest Apple-related video clip.

I hope that everyone had a great Christmas!
Mine wasn't quite as I had imagined it would be as I haven't been very well for several days now. I have a few different tablets to keep taking though, so hopefully I will be back to normal soon!
You may remember though that one thing I had planned for Christmas was the making of a Frozen-related something for a little girl I know, who came over to Australia with her family at the same time as we came over.
I started out with plans for a blanket that could double as a play mat of some kind, but I really wasn't happy with either the colours or the texture of the yarn I had found. I therefore put the plans on hold, until I realised that I could make bunting instead! It wouldn't matter about the texture then, and would have the added bonus that I could miss out the worst of the colours…
I managed to leave it until the last minute to actually finish off this plan, and so the evening before Christmas Eve I was hooking away furiously to finish of the snowflake centres:
Next up was to surround the snowflakes with colour. I chose the two colours that seemed to match the Frozen theme best (out of what I had available) – a turquoise and a purple – and added a pink as I had been informed that the recipient LOVES pink!
The next morning, Christmas Eve, I added the edging to each triangle. Double crochet with occasional picots down the sides, and leaving the ends loose for decorating with beads. I had begun by leaving chains and adding a bead to the bottom of each end, but I went off this idea. I unpicked the chains and threaded 2 different-sized beads to both ends, near to the bunting triangle. I thought this looked much better!
Then, using the same colour as the edging, I joined all of the triangles together: I chained 35, then double crocheted along the top edge of the first triangle, then chained 3, then double crocheted along the top edge of the next triangle, and so on and so on until all were joined. I then chained 35 from the final triangle, before turning and adding 2 rows of double crochet along the whole length.
And then it was finished!
I couldn't hang it up at home for photos – there's nothing to hang it on in the apartment, and we're not allowed to put pins in the walls. Draping it on my sofa bed just didn't work!
I realised I could tie it to the balcony railing though – it was not lost on me that I was taking photos of snowflake bunting in front of palm trees in 30 degree heat!!
The little lady who now owns this bunting already has this great wallpaper mural from Next:
|Image from next.co.uk
Hopefully the bunting will make a good addition :)
P.S. The bunting is entirely my own pattern, I know I have rather uselessly missed Christmas, but when I am feeling better I will write up the pattern in case anyone wants to make Frozen bunting of their own!

1) Jacques Kallis retired from all formats of International Cricket: Veteran South Africa cricketer Jacques Kallis on Wednesday announced his retirement from all formats of cricket. He had previously retired from Test cricket after the series against India in December 2013. Kallis - rated as one of the biggest stars of contemporary international cricket - played 166 Tests, 328 ODIs and 25 T20Is in career spanning 19 years. The all-rounder scored 13289 Test runs and another 11579 in ODIs and 666 in T20Is respectively.
2) Landslide kills 20 in village near Pune: At least 20 persons were crushed to death and 126 others trapped under debris after a landslide triggered by the relentless rain hit the remote tribal village of Malin in Ambegaon taluka of Pune district early on Wednesday morning. District Collector Saurabh Rao said six people had been extricated from the rubble and another 14 were reported injured. Rescue operations will continue through the night. The village with a population of 700 is at the base of a hill, 112 kilometres from Pune city and near the ancient Bhimashankar temple.
3) IAF chief Arup Raha takes over as new CoSC: IAF chief Arup Raha 0n 30 July 2014 took over as the Chairman, Chiefs of Staffs Committee from incumbent Gen Bikram Singh who is retiring on Thursday. The chairman, Chiefs of Staffs Committee is the senior-most military officer in the country. Raha was handed over the baton of the COSC by Gen Singh at a ceremony in South Block, defence officials said. Raha, 59, will hold the office for a period of 29 months and would probably be the longest-serving officer in the chair. He has got the long tenure because of the resignation of former Navy Chief Admiral DK Joshi in February after a series of mishaps involving naval warships. Raha will continue in office till December 2016 and is expected to push for increasing jointmanship among the three services as the CoSC.
4) Iraq elects Fuad Masum as president: Iraqi lawmakers elected a veteran Kurdish politician as the nation's new president on Thursday, hours after an attack on a prison convoy killed dozens of people, brutally underscoring the challenges faced by the country's leaders as they struggle to form a new government. The 76-year-old Fuad Masum, one of the founders of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan party led by Iraq's previous President Jalal Talabani, accepted the mostly ceremonial position after winning two—thirds of the votes in parliament, noting the "huge security, political and economic tasks" facing the next government.
5) Chowdary tipped to be new CBDT chief: Senior IRS officer K V Chowdary is tipped to be the new Chairman of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the apex authority of the Income Tax Department. The 1978-batch Indian Revenue Service officer is presently working as the Member (Investigations) in the CBDT and is expected to take over the new charge from August 1 after incumbent Chairman R K Tewari retires on July 31. Tewari, a 1976-batch IRS officer, has been at the helm for the last five months after he took over the top post on March 1.
6) NASA rover breaks out-of-this-World Distance Record: The US space agency's Opportunity rover has now clocked more miles on Mars than any man-made vehicle to reach another celestial body, NASA said Monday. Since arriving on the Red Planet in 2005, the solar-powered robot has journeyed across 25 miles (40 kilometers) of Martian terrain. That surpasses the previous record, held by the Soviet Union's Lunokhod 2 rover, which landed on the Moon in 1973.
7) Chinese journalist, lawyer win Magsaysay award: An influential Chinese journalist and a crusading environmental lawyer from China are among this year's winners of Asia's Magsaysay awards, the organisers announced. The Manila-based Ramon Magsaysay Award, named after a Filipino president who was killed in a plane crash, was established in 1957 to honour people or groups who change communities for the better and is often described as Asia's Nobel Prize. Among this year's six awardees is Hu Shuli, 61, founder and editor of Caijing, a business magazine famed for its groundbreaking investigative reporting that has had a profound impact on China.

Social Perspective
Our educational system isn't built to teach us how to succeed in life. It teaches us how to self-learn and critically think. These are the tools to become successful. However, the majority uses these tools to land corporate jobs, 9-5 careers and such. Entrepreneurs use our given ability to self-learn & critically think to further progress our wealth and financial situation.
Inside a Millionaire
What are the habits of millionaires? How do millionaires think? What do millionaires invest in to progressively make more money? For instance, here's a featured topic covered in this FREE downloadable guide:
Do the opposite of what poor people do:
Seems easy? This is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Let me explain this mindset: let's look at this as reverse engineering. It's hard to see what millionaire think and do, right? They don't always tell or show you everything they invest in, how to think, etc. So, let's observe poor people. Instead of following what they do, let's do the opposite. Let's go through an overview of how poor people live - they buy food 3, 4, 5 times a week, they constantly "reward" themselves by buying clothes, staying on top of fashion trends, they save money for the sole purpose of buying a new car. 40 years later, they're doing the same shit, struggling with the same bills, complaining to the same people about their shitty lives.
DO THE OPPOSITE. Start cooking, live a healthier lifestyle (no point being rich if you you don't have the luxury of time to enjoy what you've accomplished), stop rewarding yourselves when you have deserve to celebrate yet. Being alcohol free for two weekends in a row is NOT an excuse to spend $500 at a bar and blackout. Getting an 'A' grade on a quiz is NOT an excuse to blow $100 at the mall. Your milestone result is NOT your final result.
Trust me, this is harder than you think. Even now I give into the temptation of buying food, I mean it's so much easier to buy than to cook. But the difference is, I have the budget to spend $5000/month on food, and unless you do too, I suggest to not follow my footsteps.

Dr Sohail Gandhi, family physician
Ontario PC MPP Jim Wilson presented Dr. Sohail Gandhi, a family physician at the Stayner Medical Centre for 20 years, with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal.
"This prestigious medal is Canada's way of celebrating Her Majesty the Queen's 60-year reign, and it is being awarded to outstanding citizens who share Queen Elizabeth's devotion to service" said Wilson.
Dr. Sohail Gandhi was recognized for his distinguished career in the field of medicine, notably for his involvement in the establishment of the Georgian Bay Family Health Team.
The Georgian Bay Family Health Team formed under Gandhi's leadership in 2007 as part of a provincial strategy to address a shortage of family physicians.
Wilson lauded Dr Gandhi for making Ontario and Canada a better place to live. "They have improved the well-being of our communities and inspired others to take up the call to service," he said.

Per SB 216, the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System will change beginning with the 2020-2021 school year. Districts and schools, other than those participating in the voluntary pilot program, will continue to use the current OTES system for 2018-2019 and 2019-2020.
There will be no changes for 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 evaluations.
Ohio teachers, school administrators, higher education faculty and representatives from Ohio's professional associations developed the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System in collaboration with national experts in the area of teacher evaluation.
Ohio's system for evaluating teachers is research-based and designed to be transparent, fair and adaptable to the specific contexts of Ohio's districts (rural, urban, suburban, large and small). The evaluation system builds on what educators know about the importance of ongoing assessment and feedback as a powerful vehicle to support improved practice.
Two key components of Ohio's evaluation system are a rating of teacher performance (based on classroom observations and other factors) and a rating of student academic growth.
Measuring student growth is challenging because school districts cannot use the same single student assessment for all teachers. They can use value-added ratings from the state assessments when available. If those are not applicable for a given subject or grade, districts can choose to use other assessments provided by national testing vendors and approved for use in Ohio. For subjects without state assessments or approved vendor assessments – such as art or music – districts should establish a process to create student learning objectives to measure student progress.
Over the past decade, Ohio made important education policy advances to encourage high-quality teaching, student learning and achievement, as well as excellent standards and accountability.
In 2004, both the Governor's Commission on Teaching Success and Senate Bill 2 addressed the topic of teacher quality.
House Bill 1 in 2009 directed the Educator Standards Board to recommend model evaluation systems for teachers and principals to the State Board of Education for their review and adoption. The Ohio Teacher Evaluation System was created in response to this mandate and designed to be used to assess the performance of Ohio teachers.
Beginning in 2014-2015, Sub. House Bill 362 enabled districts to select a less frequent evaluation cycle for teachers rated accomplished or skilled for the previous school year. This bill also introduced the alternative framework, which was subsequently altered by Ohio House Bill 64 in 2015.
The Teacher Evaluation web page features more information, including updated graphic charts explaining the modified alternative framework as well as the original framework.

Moore Ties Career Wins Record As Canaries Even Series in Sioux City
SIOUX CITY, IA -- Ben Moore earned his 53rd win in a Sioux Falls Canaries uniform, tying him with Rich Hyde for the franchise career record. More importantly for the Canaries, the 5-1 win evened their series in Sioux City and gave them a chance to win a fourth consecutive series Sunday evening.
The Canaries jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the third inning off Explorers starter Greg Holt when Kevin Dultz singled and came around to score on an RBI groundout by Brandon Jones. Holt was effective the rest of the way, giving up just two runs in 7.1 innings of work.
Sioux City was able to tie the game in the fourth. Rene Tosoni lead off with a single and when Nate Samson singled to follow, Tosoni advanced to third when Sioux Falls right fielder Steve Tinoco bobbled the ball. That set up Tom Mendonca who scored Tosoni on a sacrifice fly.
Both pitchers were locked in until Holt finally cracked in the eighth inning. Stephen Branca led off with a single for the Canaries, but was retired at second on Kevin Dultz's fielders choice. Explorers manager Steve Montgomery went to his bullpen with one out and Dultz at first, but the move backfired as Geoff Broussard walked three consecutive hitters to give the Canaries a 2-1 lead. Montgomery was then ejected for arguing balls and strikes before Kenny Long retired Chris Valencia to end the inning.
The Canaries added three runs of insurance in the ninth inning. Chris Duffy drew a one-out walk and after Branca and Dultz loaded the bases with singles, Tinoco drove in two with his base hit. Shelby Ford would add a third run with a single of his own and that gave Moore plenty of cushion for the ninth, which he finished to notch his fourth victory of the season to improve to 4-1.
The rubber match between the Canaries and Explorers takes place Sunday evening at 6:05 PM in Sioux City.

I've recently written a text on nude models on magazines' covers, but now I see that I could've waited two days more for this coquettish (god, I love that word) July issue of GQ.
One may like Sacha Baron Cohen or not, but you have to admit it - he's got a pretty nice body! And regarding humor - well, depends on what you like. Myself, personally, I still quote Borat from time to time with my former flatmate.
"Hey, Brüno, I recently started collecting unemployment. Any style tips for someone on a tight budget?
Times are hard, but if you shop around und are prepared to vear some things twice before throwing zem avay, it is still possible to look good on a clothing budget of about $20,000 a veek. Ich mean, obwiously you vill need a bit more zan zat if you are planning on leaving ze house.(...)
Dear Brüno, where should I be putting my iPhone? The wife says the belt clip is totally out, But it looks like a tuna sandwich in my pocket. Anyplace else?
Vhat ein stupid question. Keep it in your assistant's pocket, obwiously."

This is a fine example of Thomas Ewing's 1845 map of the World in two hemispheres. Both the Western and Eastern Hemispheres are drawn and offer a fascinating snapshot of the world during a period of rapid globalization and discovery. Africa and Australia are largely unmapped in the interiors with coastlines accurately rendered. The map is color coded according to continents with counties named but their boundaries not defined. Various important cities, rivers, islands, mountain ranges, and several other topographical details are noted with relief shown by hachure. Four diagrams are including on each corner of the map. This map was published in 1845 by Oliver and Boyd as part of Ewing's New General Atlas.
Oliver and Boyd, Ewing's New General Atlas: containing Distinct Maps of all the Principal States and Kingdoms throughout the World, (Edinburgh) 1845.
Very good. Minor wear along original centerfold. Some foxing at places.

There are some fascinating new medical studies out that link heightened anxiety levels to deficits in new brain cell development.
"This realization could lead to novel approaches to treating a variety of anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), because people who suffer from such conditions have trouble telling the difference between situations that merit fear and those that are innocuous," say two Columbia University neurology professors, Mazen A. Kheirbek and Rene Hen, writing in the July 2014 issue of Scientific American magazine.
For years, scientists believed that adult humans stopped producing new neurons, but then about 20 years ago, evidence from the brains of adult rodents, monkeys, and even humans showed that new neurons are being produced continuously in two areas of the brain, one of which is involved with smell and the other involved in learning, memory, and emotion.
According to Kheirbek and Hen, one of the learning and memory functions that appear to involve new neurons involves pattern completion, which is laying a memory down so that it can be retrieved. The other involves pattern separation, which is recording details of an event so that it can be distinguished from other events.
The neurologists tested their theory in lab mice by shutting down neurogenesis, or the production of new neurons, in some mice and boosting it in others. Then they took the mice from their safe home cage and put them in another cage in which they got a mild electric shock.
"Animals lacking new neurons remained overly skittish, reacting in alarm in both environments, even after repeated trips to the harmless box proceeded without incident," they reported. But that didn't happen with mice with an increased number of new brain cells.
Several other studies have also shown that mice lacking in new neurons have been unable to distinguish between safety and danger, the neurologists said.
"If neurogenesis is, in fact, involved in pattern separation in humans, the finding could offer insights into the cause of anxiety disorders such as PTSD," said the article, Add Neurons, Subtract Anxiety. "Psychologists have long suspected that the overgeneralization of memory contributes to anxiety disorders, which are marked by an exaggerated, sometimes crippling, fear response, even when the environment holds no immediate threat. Such inappropriate generalization could be the result of a diminished ability to distinguish between a past trauma and an innocuous event that shares some similarity with the traumatic event – for example, a picnic that is interrupted by a unexpected loud noise.
"Individuals with a normal capacity for pattern separation might flinch at the sudden boom but quickly realize that the park is not a war zone and continue with their lunch," it said. "A veteran with impaired ability to carry out pattern separation, on the other hand, may be unable to separate the sound of a car backfiring from the memory of a battlefield – a mistake that could precipitate a full-blown panic attack."
Researchers have found that most humans continue to add about 1,400 new brain cells per day to the hippocampus well into old age. While the authors speculated about a deficit in neuron production, they suggested no reason why so many vets would be experiencing this disorder.
They did, however, explain what cures the condition: exercise. Mice running on a wheel in their cages showed increased rates of neurogenesis.
And that may well explain why vets who are kayaking, whitewater rafting, hiking, and mountain climbing are able to alleviate the symptoms of PTSD. They're producing more new brain cells and reducing their anxiety levels.
