Security, especially when it comes to apps, has always been a huge concern for Android users. Every now and then you will see new reports of malicious apps being present in the Google Play Store. Malicious apps exist and they do make it to the Play Store and on to our devices. Unfortunately, a malicious app is only discovered after it's been around for a while. One way to keep ourselves safe is to limit what permissions an app has. Some apps might ask for additional permission as you continue to use them, or after they have been updated. If you ever feel an app is asking for too much access to your device you can always revoke it and as of Android 6.0, you can individually manage app permissions for any app and revoke them selectively. Here's how. Read More

Customize The Quick Access Toggles In The Notification Panel In Android 6.0
My dad uses an Android phone and he knows the basics of it. One thing he's always had a problem with is the toggles in the Notification Panel. He manages to tap the WiFi toggle and turn it Off, and then he wonders why the internet isn't working (or who turned the internet Off on his phone). I've often wished I could just get rid of some of those toggles and it seems someone at Google has heard my silent prayers. In Android 6.0 there is a new experimental feature that allows you to customize which toggles appear in the Notification Panel. You can not only remove a toggle but also rearrange how they are ordered. Here's how. Read More
How To Enable The Invert Colors Toggle In Android 6.0
Back in Android 5.0 (Lollipop) the toggles in the Notification Panel were a major addition. These toggles allowed users to quickly turn On/Off some of the most frequently used settings on the device like Bluetooth and WiFi. It also had a toggle that let you use the flash on your phone as a flashlight. With Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) there's a new toggle in the Notification Panel called Invert Colors but it is greyed out so that you cannot use it making you wonder why it's there in the first place and what exactly is it going to take to get it to work. To make the Invert Colors toggle functional, you need to turn it on in the Settings app. Here's how. Read More
How To Enable System UI Tuner In Android 6.0
Android 6.0 is slowly rolling out to devices and it certainly comes with lots of new features that you will want to explore. Some features in Marshmallow are experimental and hidden away unless you decide you absolutely want to, have to, need to, try them out. These new experimental features reside in a preference in the Settings app called the System UI Tuner but you won't simply see the preference there if you open the Settings app. System UI Tuner, because of the experimental nature of its settings, has to be enabled first. Here's how. Read More
Stop Android 6.0 From Saving Your Passwords To Your Google Account
Android 6.0 comes with lots of new features and one of those is Smart Passwords. What does Smart Passwords do? Well it takes your passwords and syncs them to your Google Account so you never ever lose them again, ever. It sounds great, right? Google will have all your passwords and everything you use requires a Google account. It's basically a version of 'One Ring to rule them all' that fits our world. The feature unfortunately is turned on by default when you upgrade to Android 6.0. In Android Lollipop a similar feature existed that saved your Wi-Fi password to your Google account. With Android 6.0 it takes things further and stores passwords entered in apps and websites. If that alarms you, here's where you can turn the Smart Passwords off. Read More
How To Access The Built-In File Manager In Android 6.0
A few years ago, Android used to come with an app that made it possible for users to browse files stored on their device. Whether it was the internal memory or a memory card you wanted to access files on, the app let you do it. It was basic but unfortunately it soon disappeared. Users have since used file browsers that are available on the Google Play store but as of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, there is once again a default file browser available on the system. Accessing it is a bit tricky though because it's not a stand alone app as you would expect it to be. Here's how you can access it. Read More
How To Minimize A Video In The Facebook App
The Facebook app is updated regularly with bug and security fixes and little else to mention in its changelog. Every so often though, one of the updates is a big one that adds new features, or makes yet another change to the UI of the app. The most recent update to the app brought its design closer to iOS 9 (though it's still crashing like a drunk) and it introduced a new way to watch videos in the app. You can now minimize a video that's currently playing in the app so that it takes up just a small area at the bottom right of the app while you continue to scroll through the rest of your feed. Here's how. Read More
How To Block An Email Address In Gmail
I've used Gmail as my main email service for years now. Gmail's handling of spam is what got me to stick with the service and abandon my Hotmail account. Where Gmail does an excellent job of handling spam, there is a certain kind of spam that it has no filter for; the spam that's not obvious spam, but still spam. These are emails from people that are legit users and aren't trying to scam you out of money but are instead trying to sell you things; office furniture, web development services, or trainings that have nothing to do with you. You can mark these messages as spam but Gmail will not treat it as such and the next email from any of these senders will make it to your primary inbox. There is good news though as a new block feature is being rolled out to Gmail users on the web and on Android. The block feature allows users to block emails by email address. Here's how to use it.

How To Move To iOS From An Android Device With Apple's App
A while back Google made it easier for anyone tired of their iPhone to switch to an Android device. There is an official page that helps you move your data from an iOS device to an Android device and make the transition as painless as possible. On September 9, 2015 Apple at its iPhone event fired back and announced an app called Move to iOS. It's the first (and possibly last) Android app that the company has ever built and the names pretty much says what it does; it helps you move from an Android device to an iPhone. Since iPhones work differently than Android devices you might be wondering just how the whole move works. Here's how. Read More
Privately Exchange Photos Of An Event With Your Facebook Friends
Everyone has a phone and just about every phone in existence has a camera and that means given an event, a party, or even a slightly fun lunch hour, lots of photos will be taken. You might end up with everyone having snapped photos of a fun night out or if you're trying to conserve phone battery, you will have appointed a designated photographer to take all the photos. Once the photos have been taken, Facebook is the go-to place for sharing them so everyone has a copy. If you prefer private sharing of your photos however, Facebook has you covered with its Moments app. The app is kind of old and just upgraded to version 2.0 but it's just now been made available outside the U.S. What it does is that it automatically groups photos together based on the location and time they were taken. A group of such photos is called a moment and you can share it privately with one or several Facebook friends. Here's how it works. Read More
Install An App APK On Your Android Device From The Desktop [Windows]
One of the things I'm most envious about when it comes to Android is the ability to initiate an app download from the desktop version of the Google Play store and remotely install an app to any Android device associated with my account. I would kill to have something like that on iOS. Pure APK Install is a new Windows app from Pure APK; a service that lets you download app APKs from the Google Play store. The app works independently of its own service and lets you install any APK file on your system to your Android device. You don't need root access and you can choose whether an app is installed to the external storage or the device's internal memory. For anyone who has trouble downloading and installing apps on their device, Pure APK Install is a simple solution. Read More
Arrange Photos In Your Facebook Post When Uploading Them From Your Phone
The photos we share on Facebook make up a huge part of how we interact with other people on the social network. Take the ability to post photos away from Facebook and you'd be left wondering what to there. Facebook knows just how important photos are and it makes a deliberate effort to give us a great photo sharing experience. It also buys apps like Instagram to make sure it owns all your photos. Photo sharing is of course a feature everyone uses and if you often post photos from your smartphone you might wonder how you can post them in the right order (appetizer, main course, drinks, and dessert). The Facebook app lets you arrange them easily whether you're posting them for the first time or editing a post after sharing them. Here's how. Read More
Search Imgur For Reaction GIFs From Inside Facebook Messenger
Imgur, while great for sharing images on Reddit is notorious for its very bad mobile apps. They recently released a fresh Android app and just a while before that overhauled their iOS app. The effort made on either one was unimpressive but Imgur still remains one of the biggest hoards of images available online. If you installed the app but are considering uninstalling it because it's so terrible you might want to keep it around because it lets you search for and send reaction GIFs from the Facebook Messenger app. Here's how.

Export Your Firefox Profile From A Non-Rooted Device To Your Desktop [Android]
Android users are divided into two categories; those that root their devices, and those that do not. The debate to root or not to root centers on points like warranty, unlocking the real power of your device, removing bloatware, risking a bricked device, and overclocking it to its death. Regardless of which side you root for (pun intended), the fact is that Android users with a rooted device can do more than those with a non-rooted device. One such limitation is accessing protected files such as your Firefox profile. Fortunately, there is a very simple way of exporting and saving it to your desktop without needing to root your device. Here's how. Read More
Schedule Text Messages For Any Date And Time On Your Android Phone
Scheduled text messages is a feature that popular mobile platforms seem to ignore year after year. Granted there is no one popular app out there that would convince them that scheduling a text message is a much needed feature and that is probably why no one pays much attention to it. That said, it can be useful and SMStagger is a free material design app for Android phones that does the job beautifully. You can search for and select a recipient from your contacts, select the date and time when a message should be sent, and compose your message in advance. When the message is due, the app will send it. Read More
Get Visual And Haptic Feedback From Your Phone When You Make A Typo [Android]
Autocorrect may have ensured that we make fewer mistakes when writing a report, or composing an email but it has affected how well we can spell and to some extent, it's also had an impact on how shortsighted we've become when typing and proofreading. We expect autocorrect to not only correct misspelled words but to also fill in for the ones we've missed and generally know what word it is we meant to type. It works great with spelling, not so great with grammar, and not at all when we make a typo. Tipo is a free Android keyboard that identifies when you've made a typo. The keyboard flashes red and you get haptic feedback from your device when an error has been made and autocorrect failed to fix it. The app is free but offers an upgrade of $0.99 that will help you improve your spelling. Read More
Get Guided On-Screen Instructions To Compose A Better Photo
The rule of thirds is a fairly popular rule that people can easily learn to compose better photos. There are of course other layout rules and options that you can try but knowing a rule often isn't enough to compose a good photo. You must have some understanding of how to position the main object. Camera51 is a free iOS and Android app that comes to the rescue; it provides an on-screen guide to help you frame all objects you want in a photo such that you have a nicely composed photo in the end. It's incredibly easy to use and can serve as a good learning tool. Read More
Silence Your Alarm With A Wave Of Your Hand [Android]
Waking up is hard, and waking up with some sense of what not to knock over is harder. If you're the regular adult with a job or just the average student trying to get through the semester two things are likely; you aren't very well coordinated the second you wake up after staying up too long (yet again) and you probably use your phone as an alarm clock. Mix those two together and you realize that turning the alarm off every morning comes with a fifty percent risk of you dropping your phone. Wave Alarm is a free Android app that takes the risk out of the equation and lets you turn alarm clocks off by waving a hand over your device. The app picks up movement from your camera and turns off the alarm. Read More
Get iOS Like Assistive Touch On Your Android Phone
Android is no stranger to soft or floating keys and there are many apps in the Google Play store that add differen types soft keys to your device. You won't find similar options for iOS but soft keys come packaged as an accessibility feature of the OS. Most iPhone users will be familiar with Assistive Touch if their home button is or has been faulty at some point. Assistive Touch for Android is a free Android app that adds a floating button to your device's screen. It is built to replicate Assistive Touch on iOS and does a decent job of it. Be warned though, the app has ads that like to sneak up on you. They do not appear when you're using the app but will pop up a lot when you're setting the app up. Read More
Get Notifications To Wake Up Your Locked Screen On Android Lollipop
Android Lollipop axed a few features of the OS that had been very popular in the past. Lock screen widgets are a good example but some other, more subtle changes made by Google include notifications no longer waking your screen up when it is locked. For people with newer devices this isn't too much of a big deal because if their device has the supported hardware, they can just tap the screen to wake it up. For users with older devices, and the Nexus 5 is one of these older ones, it's a different story. Your device will buzz and ring, or pop, when you receive a new notification but you have to use the power button to wake it up. Glimpse Notification is a free Android app that will wake your screen even if it's locked each time you get a notification. The app does not require root access. Read More

Three approaches recommended for characterization of toxicity impact potential in a life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) are tested on a case study and compared. The two equivalency factor methods are the Persistence, Bioaccumulation, and Toxicity (PBT) method and the Multimedia Fate Modeling (MFM) method using a Mackay Level III model with state-specific environmental data. The simplified risk assessment (SRA) method involved dispersion modeling using site-specific environmental data. The life cycle inventory information evaluated by all three methods was limited to manufacturing of the RDX-based explosive in Kingsport, Tennessee. The effort to collect site-specific environmental data and conduct air dispersion modeling for the SRA method required about 24 times more effort than the PBT method and about 4 times more effort than the MFM method. Direct comparison of impact potential scores for the three approaches were limited to inhalation toxicity scores for nine air pollutants modeled by SRA. Correlations were made on the rank order of the impact potential scores for the nine air emissions evaluated for all three LCIA methods. Although the number of chemicals compared is very limited, the best correlation coefficient (0.96) was between the rank orders for the MFM and the SRA methods. The minimal effort and reduced accuracy of the PBT approach make it best suited for screening large numbers of chemicals for further evaluation of the highest ranked chemicals. The intermediate effort and reasonable accuracy (includes transfers to other media) of the MFM approach make it well suited for LCIAs involving comparative assertions or governmental policy decisions. The maximum effort and assumption of highest accuracy make the SRA approach suitable only after limiting the locations of interest to a few sites by screening with the other two approaches.

The deadline to participate with your photos is till Friday 27th so don't wait too long.
I'm going to start a project with making plushies of pets for people tho first I need examples for such!
I'm gonna make them in two categories: Cartoony style and Realistic style.
I'm gonna use many different fibers, depending on what fits to the animal's look - fur, fleece, minky, felt, etc.
And now the good part!
I'm gonna make a giveaway for some of these! You can get a plush of your living or deceased pet!
1. You need to write a journal about it with a THUMB to this journal on your account! (You cannot edit an old journal, make a new one, I'll check!)
2. Then write here a comment providing a photo/s of your pet(You need to have all rights to the photo!), preference in style(cartoon/realistic) and link to your journal.
3. Wait patiently
Nope, there is also something I have to get from it right?
1. I'm not gonna make them for everyone. I will choose photos of pets I would like to make and let the chosen people know!
2. In exchange you give me the rights to use your photo and photo of a plush made for you in my portfolio and shop as an example. (Only for the chosen photos)
3. You need to give me your shipping address if you want to get your plush, not only a photo of it (But it's obvious, right?)
4. You need to pay for shipping (It's about 10$), but if you cannot pay, don't worry we will somehow manage to make an agreement so don't let this make you not join the fun! : D
And that's it! I hope to have many entries here! And not only dog's photos, I would love to have many differents kinds of animals, birds, fishes, rodents, everythin (dog obviously are ok too).

Installed and there are no settings available under Settings->Media. Looking for another plugin to handle responsive videos.
Works as described quick and easy especially when uploading and installing from zip. Tested on full browser phone and 10.1" tablet, both orientations - works well.
This plugin not working when activate jetpack plugin
This plugin is great! One note on the installation instructions - the step about enabling auto embed isn't in WordPress 3.6.x -- you don't have to do it.
Also, don't put the actual iframe code in your post. Do what the installation instructions say in point 4 - WP automatically turns links into embedded videos.
*Also, to avoid videos from "filling" the page while they are pulled from the respective provider, just add a CSS class to the container using "overflow:hidden" along with max-width and height parameters.
Thanks for the plugin!
So simple, so awesome.
This is a great plugin. It requires no setup after installation, works with a good selection of video sites, and fills the player screen with video very nicely at any screen size.
The only thing it could do better is detect the size of the video container and fill the container at large screen sizes.
As the previous poster mentioned, FitVids for WordPress does this, but the setup is more complicated and the author still has done nothing to make it easier (for 90% of installs, using "body" as the jQuery Selector is all that is needed). What is impressive about this plugin is that, once setup, it works for virtually all videos that you can embed on a page.
If you only use YouTube or Vimeo, then the Fluid Video Embeds plugin is your best choice. It requires no setup after installation, and does a superior job of filling the player with video at all screen sizes (as well as filling the video container).
Unlike the previous poster's comment, my experience is that Responsive Video Embeds still works fine.
Thank you, Kevin, for developing this fine plugin.
This plugin does not work for me.
The instructions regarding auto-embed are out of date.
The author does not appear to be supporting this plugin.
I've found a working alternative: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fitvids-for-wordpress/
Tutorial: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-embed-responsive-video-to-your-post-in-wordpress/2012/04/30
It just works...
Only problem is that it doesn't allow me to prevent the conversion of some URLs.
This plugin only worked for me if I disabled the shortcode embeds module on Automattic's Jetpack plugin. Otherwise it doesn't do anything.
I mentioned it in the discussion forum but didn't get a reply. Judging by the various unsolved threads there, I don't think the author is maintaining this plugin anymore. Better to find an alternative which comes with some level of support or engagement.
Using Genesis framework and child theme, but it cuts off the videos on the right.

The spacious and comfortable superior conservatory room with lovely complimentary Cadbury treats. The buffet breakfast was tasty with a decent range to choose from. Prompt and friendly service from all staff throughout.
Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Didn't like the small bath towels.
the welcome was very friendly,use of pool very good,nice and warm in cold weather.
Really cheap rooms. A nice place to stay. I would return.
Only downside was that were not given an option of a smoking/non smoking room and although I usually don't mind being around smoke the smoking room we were given was very stale. After returning to the room it always took ten minutes to get used to the smell of smoke. I know that cant really be helped too much but a simple air freshener in the room would do the job. Rooms could do with a lick of paint.
Some of the most friendly and helpful staff I have encountered. The spa was fantastic, beautiful and relaxing.
The staff were pleasant and courteous, especially the reception. The food was prepared and presented well. The hotel as a whole had a relaxing atmosphere and would definitely choose again if in that part of the country.
Only one thing and that was the room was a bit too chilly.
The hotel was reasonably priced and the staff very helpful and attentive at all times. Room quality was also good.
Quality of evening meal was poor and did not represent particularly good value for money. Quality has dropped significantly since our last visit. Head of restaurant was patronising and disinterested (not the waitresses - they were excellent) which is odd considering the number of complaints we overheard him receiving! Also prices of drinks at the bar were, in some cases, extortionate.
The room was bright, shower excellent.
Public areas were cold, couldn't stay in bar because it was so cold. Restaurant meal was over priced - mine was too big my husband's ridiculously small - served large and small wine in two glasses of equal quantity but different shapes. Breakfast poor, limited.
I stayed at the hotel because a family wedding was there, so it was very handy for this.
I would not pick this to stay at because the rooms are all over the place and it was a long walk from reception to our room. At breakfast if it was busy, they staff could not keep up with the demand. We had to wait to be seated & then we had to wait for fresh breakfast to be put out on thre buffet. They even had to send uostairs for more bread.
Food good, location good
Room dirty and dark/ dingy. Poorly maintained and not cleaned properly.
facilities and location gave good value
Evening meals could be a lot better. No proper lounge area
15 minutes walk from the Centre of Birmigham, clean and comfortable
Breakfast far too expensive £8.50 for English breakfast to expensive
Luxury and modern styling, lovely lobby, restaurant and classy bar, clean and felt quality, professional and smart staff
The drunk young italian thug at the bar....... The lack of free satellite tv channels...... Plus the parking that had to be in the NCP around the corner was closed at 11pm when I got back to the hotel!
Excellent service
Absolutely not as quality as advertised.
Good breakfast.
Single room very small. No picture on itv channels.
Oriental brasserie was unusual & food was excellent
It was a little hard to find
How accessible the station, NIA etc were to us
Taxi company used by hotel (Falcon)
Clean,friendly staff, very good location, free wifi,
5 minute walk from city center
Room is very small,Not much room for luggage
Although the room was on the small side it was very comfortable and the room was very clean and just right for an overnight stay.
The TV in the room was a bit to big and made your eyes go funny after a while!!
Friendly staff, adequate room size and appropriate facilities. Value for money.
Carpets, floors and shower looking a little tired and in need of sprucing up. Lighting level and distribution in the room not entirely helpful for working at the desk.
Clean and pleasant hotel. Good value for money
The location was perfect
Was saturday night and till 1am there was a music from a local disco club that you can hear till inside in your room. A bad noise.
The booking hadn't been confirmed so luckily another room was available.
We got a nice welcome at the reception and given a key to the room. After walking up through an extensive quantity of stairways, we got to our designed room. They had kept for us a room for 4 people at the place of two.
The first room, with a clean double bed, was dark, the only window was with a view on garbage and abandoned furniture, the bathroom had carpeting floor, always wet, because the tub-shower had no curtain, and the wall paper was coming off here and there. So we choose the upstair room with two windows with a nice view, a small TV, and a lot of furniture.The place had character, but kind a need some maintenance.
The hotel is next to a few restaurants, the city bus pass by and you are close to the motorway, so convenient.
Restauarant was excellent with very attentive staff who were very professional
There are certain areas which could be improved upon. The TV sets in the bedrooms could be upgraded and a little attention to detail in the bedrooms would lift the general standard of the hotel tremendously.

Don't Vote is maddening because it flops back and forth between great and... well, not so great. It contains both some of O'Rourke's most scholarly work - there's a lot of real research here - without sacrificing the wit. In these chapters, his work is sharp, illuminating and still an entertaining read. But Don't Vote also contains a bunch of one-offs that are really nothing more than reprints of some of his magazine articles, and not his best ones at that. These contribute no understanding, don't move the central thesis about government ahead and are really just filler (or worse).
Not bad, but not great. Parliament of Whores is still my favorite O'Rourke rant.
American politics are dominated by news bites and slices of incomplete information and people that vote often lack a basic understanding of economic principles or in my opinion much logic. P.J. O'Rourke writes a line about what is wrong with politics, half the voters are less than average intelligence.
Using sarcasm and lots of analogies, he writes short examples of why certain political issues are often carried to absurdity, states like California with strict gun laws have lots of murders while those with very lax laws don't, for example, and also that we should probably have vote control because voting leads to politicians taking us into war which leads for far more deaths caused by guns.
He writes about the futility of much of the left and right ranting (radio, books, etc.) because it's like preaching to the little old ladies wearing white hats in the choir.
I enjoyed how he worded the observation that we allow 19 year old's to vote, but we don't trust them with a beer.
Just because he uses lots of tongue-in-cheek humor, sarcasm, and analogies that could be seen as over the top in there usage, he is obviously a well read and well informed and well connected person and his writing is crisp and straight forward. Much of the chapters read like part of a conversation with a neighbor over a beer while bar-b-cuing some burgers. Good old fashioned complaining about how stupid so much of the American political scene is, was, and will be for the foreseeable future.
He points out that taxes make Republicans, logic makes libertarians and having children makes conservatives.Read more ›
Well, P.J. O'Rourke's at it again. He's written a virtual sequel to Parliament of Whores that shows that in the intervening 18 years American politics has managed to become even more screwed up. And there's no one better suited to lampooning the state of American politics than P.J. O'Rourke.
But what separates this book from the many other books of political satire is that O'Rourke isn't just a bomb-throwing satirist. When, just a few pages in, O'Rourke is name-checking Michael Oakeshott, you know you're reading the work of an author who's done his homework. This book is a satire, to be sure, but it's an intelligent and thoughtful satire. This book manages to mix Oakeshott, Adam Smith, and a schoolgirl's game of "Kill, F@#$, Marry" into a devastating and intelligent critique of American politics. O'Rourke's takes on everything from health care reform to the national debt, and manages to skewer these hot-button political issues without coming across as preachy or pedantic.
O'Rourke is America's best political satirist - because he's America's most well-read and intelligent political satirist. This book, like Parliament of Whores, is destined to be a classic that will still be readable and worthwhile in 20 years -- while other political satires have long since been sent to the remainder bin.
And the Kindle edition is reasonably priced too, which makes this a must-download for this election cycle and long after.

Thousands and thousands of Americans on the Medicare program are learning that with the perfect Medigap Insurance Coverage it's possible to:
Compare a Medigap Insurance Plan ASAP with the protection you need at the price that is perfect your budget.
Protect your health and safeguard your assets with a Medigap Insurance Plan
Like hundreds of thousands of patients whom we have helped since we first began years ago, you probably seen that trying to come to a decision on the proper Medigap Plan can be confusing to say the least. Furthermore, getting a Medicare Supplement Insurance Carrier to work with in sizing up quotes is trying as well.
Good news though, this isn't always the case. Locating a Medicare Supplemental Broker that can take the pain out comparison shopping is simple as ABC when you take into account that:
Obtain a Medigap Insurance Policy through our company and have peace of mind about both your more affordable costs and the up to 100% protection.
Moreover that is not the totality our team is willing to do for you. Have you ever tried before to sign up for an insurance plan like a Medicare Supplemental Insurance? Many US citizens are unfortunately denied a plan or received limited coverage on their plan that they were blind sided by only after they had paid the initial premium payment. Additionally way too often there can be stressful problems involved in getting a refund or procuring substitute matching Medigap Insurance Policy or other coverage.
Our customers will tell you, that things like this don't happen to them. The Medicare Supplement Brokers we've hired are also experienced and highly-trained "field underwriters.†we'll not only assist you in locating the least expensive for Medicare Supplemental Insurance Rates, but we'll double check you do be approved for the that particular plan first, before dealing with any paperwork. With a few quick questions about your health, you could easily qualified for Medicare Supplement Insurance Coverage which should enroll you you immediately , a bunch of issues to drive you crazy or fears you might revoked coverage.
We do not counsel a policy for you unless we know for certain your approval will be guaranteed by the Medigap provider And, our Lowest Rate Guarantee insures that you not ever have to pay a dime because of our services and are always making payments the cheapest available cost on the recommended policy you sign up for.
Also, for your convenience, we have made arrangements with all of our Medigap Insurance Companies to let you apply for their plans with an agent on the phone in a manner of minutes. You will have the best Medicare Supplement Insurance Prices available, protection for the rest of your days and, if you pick a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan F, you will never ever pay a penny going forward for Medicare covered treatments.
If you want the best a Medicare Supplemental Plan F is the perfect policy thanks to the following:
Medigap, as it ls often called, is the name applied to health care plans usually called Medicare Supplemental Insurance. Medigap Insurance Plans cover the gaps in Medicare protection that aren't covered by Medicare Parts A and B and are made to fit with Medicare like a key fits into a lock.
A Medigap Plan is not an alternative for traditional Medicare like a Medicare Advantage Plan, but instead works with traditional Medicare. Also, Medigap Insurance Plans differ from Medicare Advantage because they've no deductibles, no co-pays and no issues with being "in nework" as to where you can receive medical treatment..
When you opt for the recommended Medicare Supplement Insurance Medicare Supplement Insurance Coverage like Medicare Supplement Plan F you will never, ever have a need to open up your wallet for any money at all when you undergo treatment in a hospital, specialty treatment center or doctor's office that accepts Medicare.
When you enroll in a Medicare Supplement Plan F, if your medical expenses are out-of-this-world, you will will not ever have to pay any extra bills for medical expenses providing that Medicare green-lights your treatment.
Medicare Supplemental Plans: How they work
When you seek out medical care with a specialty treatment center, doctor or hospital, all you have to do is show them your Medicare Supplement Insurance card to the specialty treatment center, doctor or hospital. Then, almost magically, everything will be taken care of for you.
The fact is that, when your claim is filed with Medicare for Medicare Part B charges, Medicare most likely will reroute your claim direct to your Medigap Insurance Carrier without you needing to do anything. After that, your Medicare Supplement Provider will process the claim, in most instances electronically and automically
With a comparison that is simple to do on our website of Medicare Supplemental Insurance Rates, you will find the one that is right for your finances and your health and then you won't have to worry about extra medical expenses ever again.. To review, if you pick a Medicare Supplemental Plan F from our company, you'll never open your mailbox and see a leftover medical bills to pay for.
Everyone here strongly believes that doctors should be allowed to prescribe what the absolute best medical attention is for you while your Medigap Policies insures you aren't wiped out with medical bills. What's more, when you sign up for a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans like a Medicare Supplemental Plan F it is YOURS FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. Unlike the restrictive Medicare Advantage Plans, if you continue to pay the premiums every month, the Medigap Company can never, ever take your plan away
Like hundreds of thousands of elderly people we have advised down through the years, you have discovered that trying to make a conclusion on a Medicare Supplemental Policies is often annoying to say the least. Also, trying to get a Medigap Insurance Carrier who will help out as you assess Medigap Plans is often wearisome too.
Fortunately, it doesn't have to be. Locating a Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plan Broker whom you can trust is a piece of cake because of the following:
Plus there's no need to pay for our services.
Medicare Supplemental Rates: Why enroll and buy with us us?
If you are on Medicare, you're possibly facing difficult final decisions about signing up for the ideal Medicare Insurance Policy and you're possibly being misled by Medicare Advantage salespeople.
Medigap Policy Carriers are required to offer the exact same coverage. Therefore it is so very, very important to compare and contrast Medicare Supplemental Insurance Policy Premiums from the nation's best companies through a partner that is on your side.
We are not like others, since we work for you, not for any one particular Medigap Provider. Our insurance industry professionals examine every of the Medigap Plan Companies that sell Medicare Supplement Quotes and partner those that are reputable and also they should honor their commitments into the foreseable future. It's pretty simple,, our industry analysts excludes all the small Medicare Supplement Insurance Policy Providers and the untrustworthy.

Thanks to our exhaustive research, our licensed agents find the very best for current situation , not what the Medicare Insurance Plan Carriers want to sell to you.
What is more that's not the full extent that we can do for you. Ever tried to take out a plan like a Medigap Plan? Many Medicare patients, are often denied coverage or gotten restrictions on their policy that they didn't see coming only after they had taken care of the first premium. Unfortunately there's often frustrating problems involved getting the money you put down for the first premium or signing up for replacement Medicare Insurance Policy or other coverage.
Things like this don't happen on our watch.
All the licensed Medicare Supplement Policy Agents also are Medicare Supplement Policy Field Underwriters. This means we'll not only help you to buy the most affordable Medigap Policies, we will also make certain qualify for the plan before we walk you through the approval process. By answering a few quick and easy questions regarding the status of your health, you could easily be quickly qualified for a Medicare Insurance Plan take you you the first time, without issues or worry of of denied claims for lack of coverage.
We will not suggest a Medicare Insurance Plan to you until we know that you qualify to be approved by the Medicare Insurance Plan provider. What is more, our Best Premium Promise makes certain you never ever pay a penny for what we do and that you will always pay the lowest amount of money for the recommended coverage you are qualified for.
For your convenience , we made deals with all the big Medicare Insurance Plan Companies to let you apply for coverage over your phone in a matter of minutes. You get the lowest Medicare Supplement available to you, a policy for life and, if you sign up for a Medicare Supplement Plan F, you will never ever write another check again for Medicare covered Medicare-covered.

A finite hyperreal number $r$ is a number defined as a sum of a real number and an infinitesimal number $\omega$: $$r=a+\omega$$ Do you know if is it possible (and useful) to define a complex number as $$c=a+i\omega\ ?$$ Thanks
I am not sure, whether following is helpful or related to your question:
But do you know wick rotation$[(x+t)\to (x+it)]$.. See wikipedia page.
Many system can be change to other system by wick rotation. For example take born infeld equation and minimal surface equation, these are related by wick rotation of one variable.
That is if $\phi(x,t)$ is solution of Born-infeld equation then $\phi(x,it)$ will be solution to minimal surface equation.
So if we define $z= s+t\in\mathbb R$ some variable in solving Born-Infeld equation, then $z= s+it$ will be some point in domain of definition of minimal surface.
I can't explain this transformation completely but you can see wikipedia pages and one article of Rukmini Dey.
This is one particular example. Basically $t\to it$ gives many time very new result in transform equation.
The complex numbers can be defined as numbers of the form $x + i y$ where $x$ and $y$ are real. All constructions of standard analysis work in non-standard analysis, so this statement remains true in the non-standard model: hypercomplex numbers are numbers of the form $x + i y$ for hyperreal $x$ and $y$.
Whether it's useful to single out those complexes with standard real and infinitesimal imaginary part, I think it unlikely. Finite real and infinitesimal imaginary part is more likely to be useful.
For example, in complex analysis, one often constructs contours that include paths of the sort $x + i \epsilon$ to approximate the real line, or circular arcs $a + \epsilon e^{i \theta}$ to approximate a point, where $\epsilon$ is a small positive real number, and then takes the limit as $\epsilon \to 0$.
Replacing $\epsilon$ with a real infinitesimal would probably be useful.
One of Euler's applications of infinitesimals in the context of complex numbers was his proof of the infinite product factorisation for the sine function. He first proved this for the hyperbolic sine function using infinite integers and infinitesimals, and then rotated by $\sqrt{-1}$ to obtain the identity for the sine. Additional details can be found in
Kanoveĭ, V. G. Correctness of the Euler method of decomposing the sine function into an infinite product. (Russian) Uspekhi Mat. Nauk 43 (1988), no. 4(262), 57--81, 255; translation in Russian Math. Surveys 43 (1988), no. 4, 65–94.
Some recent articles have dealt with this in detail, as well.
Sorry, this is not an answer, but I cannot figure out how to comment on your question.
Where is this definition from? Is 0 a standard real or an infinitesimal? If the standard reals and the infinitesimals count as finite hyperreals (and they do by the half dozen definitions that I've seen), then you would need to allow both $a$ and $\omega$ to take the value 0 in order to get these numbers as sums of reals and infinitesimals.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Audi TT
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.8
One-of-a-kind styling, stirring driving performance and solid craftsmanship are the hallmarks of a respectable luxury sports car, and the 2012 Audi TT possesses these qualities in a marked degree. The TT's 2012 roster features standard all-wheel drive for every trim level as well as a new high-performance TT RS model, which boasts a 360-horsepower turbocharged engine, improved aerodynamics and distinctive design cues. While the Audi TT Coupe, Roadster and more stirring TTS toe the fine line between sport and luxury, competitors like the BMW Z4, Mercedes-Benz SLK and the Porsche Cayman tend to offer a more focused approach. With such a broad mixture of capability, style and performance, the 2012 Audi TT ranks among the most versatile luxury sports cars ever assembled.
If you're on the hunt for a 2+2 coupe or a 2-seat roadster, chances are your ideal pick delivers a wholesome dose of performance, style and fun. In the Audi TT, you'll find equal measures of all three, plus the multi-seasonal security of Quattro all-wheel-drive.
Enthusiasts who value involving dynamics and visceral feedback over refined athleticism will find the Porsche Cayman or Boxster more accommodating to their particular requirements.
For 2012, the range-topping TT RS is added to the lineup along with a handful of feature content revisions.
Our first impression of Audi's latest TT was formed while behind the wheel of the Roadster, navigating a winding coastal road near the San Francisco airport. Top was down, sun...
... was shining – and a driver in MG's classic TC was approaching in the opposite lane. The juxtaposition of two classic shapes in an environment tailor-made for the driving enthusiast capsulized the appeal of the TT platform. It may lack the overt communication of Porsche's Boxster or the evolving nostalgia of BMW's Z4, but behind the wheel, the TT inspires on any number of levels, and through any number of seasons. Add the crisp gear changes of standard dual-clutch transmission and you have a capable weekday tool and a potent weekend toy.
Concerns regarding a conventional soft top's inability to maintain acceptable interior noise levels have convinced some carmakers to substitute cloth roofs for heavier, more robust hardtop systems. The Audi TT's triple layer soft top suppresses wind noise like a hard top, yet without the added weight.
In congested city traffic, it's a smooth-shifting automatic. On the track, it's a swift-shifting, pedal-free manual gearbox. The standard S tronic transmission is another example of the Audi TT's remarkable ability to adapt to a variety of driving situations.
Whether you step inside the 4-passenger Coupe or the 2-seat Roadster, the 2012 Audi TT's cabin is beautifully built and elegantly designed. The flat-bottomed steering wheel and driver-intensive dashboard project a sporty feel, while the Coupe's hatchback design provides a high level of practicality and adequate cargo space. Moreover, the TT Coupe's rear seat folds flat for extra luggage room, but its passenger carrying ability is best suited for small children or professional contortionists. Most of the TT's controls are straightforward and intuitive, though the optional navigation system's dash-mounted control dial feels ergonomically incorrect.
While some might compare its shape to an overturned bathtub, there's no denying that the Audi TT's innovative design makes a striking visual statement. To help maintain the Roadster's sleek appearance, the multi-layer soft top folds flat into the rear shelf. Generous use of aluminum helps reduce overall weight and increase structural rigidity, which yields improvements in both handling and safety. S and RS models receive unique bodywork and standard 19-inch alloy wheels, while all models benefit from Audi's signature LED daytime running lights and a rear spoiler that automatically retracts and extends when supplemental downforce is necessary.
Audi's renowned Quattro all-wheel-drive system is standard issue on every 2012 TT model, a key distinguishing feature in a class predominantly occupied by rear-wheel-drive sports cars. Additional standard equipment includes a sporty flat-bottomed steering wheel with integrated paddle shifters, 10-way power front seats with pseudo-suede inserts and a 9-speaker audio system. Surprisingly, a basic USB port with iPod connectivity requires the optional MMI Navigation system. Passenger protection is comprised of six airbags, Audi's backguard seats, which are designed to reduce the severity of whiplash-related injuries, and hill-hold assist to keep the TT from rolling backwards on an incline when switching from the brake to the accelerator.
The top-level Prestige trim bumps the Audi TT's base price by some $6K, but it includes body-hugging sport seats, a Bose premium sound system, navigation, and a host of additional comfort and convenience amenities. If you dread the characteristically harsh ride of traditional sport-tuned suspension setups, we suggest you opt for the TT's available magnetic ride system, which automatically adjusts suspension damping based on road conditions and driving style. Finally, those looking to add a touch of exclusivity to their TT will appreciate the available Baseball Optic package, which lines the cabin with premium leather and seam stitches resembling those of a baseball glove. Batter up!
Under the hood, you have your choice between two torque-rich inline-4 powerplants or a new, low-displacement 5-cylinder engine that whips out a staggering 360 horsepower. A 6-speed manual is the only transmission available for the TT RS, though TT and TTS models send power to the wheels via a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic. And despite its lack of catchy consonants, the standard TT model will propel you from 0-60 in well under six seconds.
2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4
211 horsepower @ 4,300-6,000 rpm
258 lb-ft of torque @ 1,600-4,200 rpm

"Audi, long known for its design and quality has continued that reputation with the TTS Coupe. I have owned several sport coupes from quite a few different manufacturers, but I have never owned an automobile that comes close to the quality of the Audi TTS. My 2010 TTS has a "Launch Control" feature (rarely found on cars back in 2010) that allows you to keep your foot on the brake and also on the gas pedal and the car revs up to exactly 3600 RPMs until you release the brake pedal- then hold on because all four wheels are going to propel you to 60 miles an hour in 4.8 seconds; while most other are trying to get traction to get their cars moving, you're halfway there! That's just some of the fun part about the car. The more serious side of the car is that it's very stable, due to its ability to brake and power each of the four wheels independently. It design remains constant. It takes a keen eye to tell the difference between a 2010 and a 2015 TTS, which is one of the reasons why they hold their value so well."

"I bought this car used to serve as a second car, something to drive mainly for the fun factor. It delivers that in abundance, even for a 75+ geezer. My only hesitation was the car's reputation for electronic "gremlins," and unfortunately have experienced a couple in my first five months of ownership. So far, the emissions light has come on unexplainedly and the top refused to close. In both cases, a simple computer reboot solved the problems, but the cost and inconvenience make such things troubling."

I think he is correct. He probably knows what reports the analysts have ready to issue once they get the numbers on the final merger. We may have to wait till August 8 though.

I'd like to believe it but if Cramer said it ... you know how often the guy is wrong. Let's just hope he's right on this one.

Pawlenty compares GOP to Eminem during Bruno ass-encounter
Photo courtesy of MTV
Gov. Tim Pawlenty knows exactly how to create a beautiful image in our minds. Whether it's the GOP's constant effort/fail to "relate" to the young kids or just a really bad comparison on his part, Pawlenty brought a smile to our faces this morning. And for that we thank him.
While speaking to the College Republicans National Convention this weekend in Washington, D.C., he managed to compare the GOP's current state to that of Eminem during his stunt with Sacha Baron Cohen's character Bruno during the MTV Movie Awards. In other words, the GOP has Bruno's ass in its face and they are pissed. But it was planned, so what does that mean? What he was trying to say was Eminem was pissed and had to "regroup" from the situation, just like the Republicans.
From National Journal:
Opening his remarks with a reference to NBC's "Inside the Obama White House" special, Pawlenty told the gathering of about 200 students, "I haven't seen something that staged since that half-naked Austrian fell onto the face of Eminem at the MTV music awards."
"Eminem was mad," he continued, to laughter and applause. "And so, just like Eminem getting dumped on, we've got to kind of regroup. We've got to continue to fight. And we've got some things worth fighting for."
Avoiding future ass-drops by Cohen would probably be a good thing.
Watch the clip from the awards show:
While some believed it was unplanned and Eminem's anger was legitimate, he later confirmed it was a planned stunt for the show.

It's that time of the month again and I have a wonderful guest I can't wait for you to meet.
Most of you already know the amazing Enstine but for those that don't you are in for a real treat.
This man teaches people how to make money online so if you've ever been sitting on the fence then you need to start following him.
Just by reading this post you'll definitely learn a few things so are you ready?
Adrienne is one of the reasons my blog is where it is today. I have been able to build an active community and a blog that generates averagely $1000/month in less than 1 year thanks to relationship building skills I learned from reading this blog. I started by grabbing her free eBook, then I got hooked.
You can imagine the excitement being invited to post on this same blog that has top quality content. When she wrote to me about this opportunity (Yes, it is an opportunity), I took a long breath because I knew I must do something epic to be up to the task 😉
This is my third guest post of the year. I started off with an article on PowerAffiliateClub where I shared some quite interesting points to help you make money in Affiliate Marketing. Here is the post
My second guest post was on Donna's blog. Donna has one of the blogs you really have to add to your list of blogs-to-visit if you want to succeed online. Not only does Donna publish exceptionally good content, she also invites authors who add more quality to her blog with sharable content.
On Donna's blog, I continued with Affiliate Marketing by sharing 3 little known tricks to earn more affiliate commissions. I encourage you to check out that one too.
Here again, I'm sharing about something that will help your online business. It's an area most online entrepreneurs neglect but my experiences have taught me a great lesson. I'm a lover of metrics and believer in stats so permit me share with you something I strongly believe will add value to your online business.
By the time you have a firm understanding of your audience; it will be practically possible to increase your income with your current content and traffic.
So here we go …
Each blog or website has a target audience and a well-defined target audience is the first element to a marketing strategy.
You can't just get into blogging and start writing about just anything. One of the first things you must do is define the readership of your blog. Once this is done, it will be easier to strategize how to reach and connect with them.
Well, in this post, I'm not talking about how or where to find your target audience and build a community. I want to focus on how to really understand what your readers want each time they are on your blog.
Now, this is crucial because it can literally transform who you are and help you discover the business power of your blog or website.
If you want to be able to connect the dots and build a strong blogging community of active readers, you'll have to invest in Adrienne's product. Download your copy here
One of the reasons most bloggers fail today is that they just go on throwing content on their blogs without asking themselves if what they post is what their readers really want.
If you understand the core needs of your audience, you'll be able to create content that addresses them directly and the end result will be an unavoidable exciting experience. They've never taken the pains to find out what's working and what's not.
Here is the point …
When you hit the nail at the right spot, your readers will find exactly what they are looking for. This will keep them stuck to your blog;
They will sign up to your list, follow you on social medial, bookmark your blog, talk to others about you, contact you with business proposals, etc.
While you and I strive every day to attract more and more new readers, it is even becoming more difficult to keep them because we are unable to give them what they want. That's one big reason why readers leave your blog and never return.
The same traditional content that is posted elsewhere is found on your blog. You are making practically no difference but the truth is you have to step out of the crowd, stand differently and shine. However, it will always become difficult to be proactive and create an impact if you don't understand the readers you are writing for.
If you study their behaviors (while they are on your blog) and tailor your content to meet their needs, sticking around your blog is definitely going to be irresistible.
Adrienne posted a guest article on Andrew's blog I'd like you to check out. She discussed some very strong points to help you keep your readers always coming back for more. Check out her article here
How do I read my reader's mind?
There are a couple of tools and things you need to help you look into the minds of your readers and rightly interpret their behaviors.
While suggesting these tools, I'll be sharing my experience and practical results from running some of them on my blog. Let's start with heatmap tools
1 – Online Heatmap tools
This is the most exciting technology that reads your readers' mind through their clicking activities on your blog posts. It gives you the opportunity to look through the eyes of your readers as they navigate on your website.
Heatmap tools capture and record mouse clicks, movements and scroll reach thus helping you know how users engage on your blog. This indicates what content is hot and what is not.
These tools are designed to count mouse clicks on different elements on a web page (links, banners, images, videos, forms, etc.)
Here is how I was able to use a heatmap tool to discover what's not working on my top menu.
NB: The bleu/yellow dots are represent clicks by readers on those areas.
After installing the heatmap tool, for over 72 hours, the menu item "Premium Posts" never got any clicks. I was like 'what?' Is this true? Not even a click?
Ok so what next?
I removed that item from my top menu and added something else. So let's see the results
Now, I replaced "Premium Posts" with "Web Traffic" and in less than 48 hours, there were already clicks on the new menu item.
This is nothing by chance. It opened my eyes to what my readers are interested in. I have been doing this with banners, forms and gradually understanding my readers.
2 – Using the Most Popular Post section of your blog
Most bloggers have areas on their blogs (usually on the right sidebar) to showcase articles that have currently gotten the highest number of comments or views.
The truth is some of us have not come to the understanding that these popular posts are a typical revelation of the areas we should focus on for more results.
On my blog, posts on SEO, Web Traffic, Make Money and controversial topics go like crazy. How did I know this? My popular posts, heatmap tools and Google Webmaster Tools/Google Analytics have this revealed to me.
Now, there are other ways to know what your readers are interested in. You may want to conduct a survey and put together opinions from readers, dwell on some stats from Google Analytics or simply take note of the topics that attract more social shares and comments. These are simply telling you the direction to take.
Improving Your Business
The essence of this post is to help us understand our communities, what they want, the kind of problems they seek to solve and then develop content that will meet them at the real point of need.
Let me end this post by giving you an assignment –
Go identify the 3 most popular posts on your blog in terms of comments or views. List the topics you focused on in these 3 popular articles
Next, find out which of these 3 you can easily come up with another detailed post. This time, go beyond your limit and throw in real meat.
By the time you publish another post on a popular topic, you will be helping your readers solve more problems and creating for yourself more business opportunities.
The End…
Let me end by thanking you for reading to this point. I will be excited to hear from you in the comment box below. What do you think about understanding your readers and dealing with them the right way?
Which are some of the tools you use to read your visitors behavior and how effective are they?
We look forward to hearing from you and we also appreciate you sharing this post with your friends.
Thank you so much!
