Question: Your writings are very philosophical. What do you think…
Buy Like Buffett: Invest in Apple Stock without Steve Jobs?
Apple has been in the news almost daily over the past few years. The news was positive the majority of the time with the company coming out with a great product followed up by an even greater product. For the first time in awhile there was bad news today at Apple Incorporated. CEO Steve Jobs is taking a medical leave of absence from the largest technology company in the United States. CEO Tim Cook will assume charge of day to day operations at the company.
So, should you invest in Apple without Jobs? The Growth of Apple, Inc.
Most of the success of Apple is due largely to Steve Jobs. Jobs built Apple into the behemoth that it is today. He started the company back in 1976 and returned the company back to its position of dominance. Apple was floundering before Jobs returned to the company in 1997. The stock was a dog and the company appeared headed for extinction.
Steve Jobs revitalized the company with his innovative inventions like the iPod, iPhone and iPad. Apple has grown into the second largest company publicly traded company in the world with a market cap of $320 billion dollars. The stock has gone through the roof and trades just below $350 a share. Jobs is not only the driving force at Apple but the leader that inspires confidence from shareholders and Wall Street investors.
Time To Buy Apple, Inc.
The stock has had a meteoric rise and has made a ton of dough for investors over the past few years. Apple won't grow at the 50% rate of the past few years but the stock can still grow at a 20% clip especially with the new Verizon iPhone deal. That deal alone will add billions to the company's revenue. Apple still has a fantastic balance sheet with $25.6 billion dollars in cash and absolutely no long term debt.
If the stock drops dramatically, I would be very tempted to start buying Apple soon. In my opinion, the stock is reasonably priced at its current valuation. The stock will probably suffer a pullback over the next few weeks as investors worry about the company's future. This might be an opportunity for prudent investors to pick up shares on a pullback.
Investors have sold off the stock many times over the past few years, only to watch it rebound mightily. There is no reason why this trend will not continue. Hopefully Steve Jobs will return in perfect health and patient investors will be rewarded.

About the Author
Alexandra "Alex" Scott was born to Liz and Jay Scott in Manchester, Connecticut on January 18, 1996, the second of four children.Shortly before her first birthday, Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer. On her first birthday, the doctors informed Alex's parents that if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. Just two weeks later, Alex slightly moved her leg at her parents' request to kick. This was the first indication of who she would turn out to be-a determined, courageous, confident and inspiring child with big dreams and big accomplishments.By her second birthday, Alex was crawling and able to stand up with leg braces. She worked hard to gain strength and to learn how to walk. She appeared to be beating the odds, until the shattering discovery within the next year that her tumors had started growing again. In the year 2000, the day after her fourth birthday, Alex received a stem cell transplant and informed her mother, "when I get out of the hospital I want to have a lemonade stand." She said she wanted to give the money to doctors to allow them to "help other kids, like they helped me." True to her word, she held her first lemonade stand later that year with the help of her older brother and raised an amazing $2,000 for "her hospital."While bravely battling her own cancer, Alex and her family continued to hold yearly lemonade stands in her front yard to benefit childhood cancer

The Marvel Heroes Turbo-Air Spider-Man Hero Launcher is a classic stomp rocket that launches a Spider-Man rocket approximately 25–30 feet into the air. Lock in the launcher and attach the stomping piece with the air tube to the launch pad. Slide the rocket onto the launcher, then step back and stomp down to send the rocket flying.
The rocket is easy to assemble and simple enough for kids to use on their own. And because it's kid-powered, kids will like competing with their friends to see who can launch Spidey the highest.
The Marvel Heroes Turbo-Air Spider-Man Hero Launcher from Playhut is for ages 4 and up.
You must stomp very hard on the launcher to get maximum height. This may be difficult for younger children ages 4–5.

- Artists Turbo Turbo
- Release Date 2012-03-16
- Labels GND Records
- Catalog GN016
- Description We are very surprised, as we recieved the Demo from the two German Brother Duo Turbo Turbo, because Manfred and Bernd live only a few blocks away from the GND Office. Swab and Charge are called the debut release from these very talented guys. Swab is a high energy techno track with juicy bleeps and a filthy bassline. The second track ist called Charge. As we listened the track for the first time, we said: sick! Charge, is a real techno rollercoaster and smashed the dance floor. Take your time to listen to this track from beginning to the end to get a full experience. Both tracks are designed for big clubs and peak time sets. Get ready for Turbo Turbo!

In Windows 7 there is the ability to scale the GUI size up by going to Control Panel -> Personalize -> Set custom text size. However, there is no obvious way to set the zoom to anything below 100%. I come from linux, so I'm used to being able to make the interface smaller. Is there any way to make this happen?
if you want to use DPI settings below 96 (100%), start the Registry Editor (backup your registry first) and navigate to
LogPixels value is 96 decimal.
For 90 percent font size, set to 86 decimal.
For 80 percent font size, set to 76 decimal.
Close REGEDIT and reboot the computer.
If some text appears too small or blurry try different value or return to 96 dpi.

This historical, set at the start of Queen Victoria's reign, was totally gripping. Liberty Lane, the protagonist of the novel, is everything you could wish for. Independent-minded, well-educated, but still a product of her times. When she is offered boys' … Continue reading

Groupon today announced it is rolling out tailored offers. Will more daily deal sites follow?
Well, it seems like our blogs are having an influence.
Last week I posted a blog entry noting that the one-size-fits-all approach that characterizes many daily deal sites has led me to unsubscribe from their e-mail lists. And today Groupon launched a service that tailors each subscriber's stream of daily deals to their personal preferences and buying history.
Coincidence? Obviously. But the potential effect on daily deal sites could be widespread.
Personalization is rapidly spreading—a survey by Patricia Seybold Group and the Institut Telecom Paris conducted earlier this year of 100 U.S. and European companies found that every respondent who didn't already have a product recommendation engine in place was planning to deploy one by next year.
The reason is that retailers like skateboard and apparel retailer West49 are finding that customizing content—both in e-mails and on their sites—can produce dramatic results. In the case of West49, the retailer increased its e-mail click-through rate from an average of about 10% to more than 30% within only a few months.
Similarly Build.com improved its conversion rate by 23.1% within a month of adding personalized recommendations for similar and complementary products to its product pages.
If daily deal sites can find a way to tailor promotions to the consumers receiving them, these sites could be a force to be reckoned with.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have been singing a new song in their latest Soul2 Soul II Tour shows—but no word yet on whether it's headed for a single.
Among Tim and Faith's latest encore songs is a tune titled "Shotgun Rider," which some have confused with a Marty Robbins record of the same name. But this song was penned by prolific Music Row songwriters Jeffrey Steele and Anthony Smith, along with Sherrié Austin. So will the song make its way to either Tim or Faith's next album, or possibly become a new duet single? Right now, both Tim and Faith's management teams insist that those details have not been worked out yet. So . . . stay tuned!

63 reviews | 4.2 out of 5
THe main reason I bought this was because no one could hear me on the old MOtorola, one that folded. This device is even smaller, but the microphone works great. People can't hear me only when I talk very soft, and even then - when I turn up the device volume, seems the mic volume is raised as well.
Only drawback is that the lowest possible volume is still often too loud. The earpiece digs into the ear, and when it's too loud it's impossible to get away from the ear drum. But the blastic that goes around the ear is semi-flexible and I can sometimes let it just hang, not sit inside the ear so it's not too loud...
There is voice notifications telling you when phone is connected or disconnected, which helps. Device seems to automatically disconnect from phone, though. WHen you get a call - click once to connect to phone, once to answer. But battery life is incredible...
One more drawback - instructions said it's not usable when it charges. The old Motorola I had was usable. But charging doesn't take long.
Overall, I recommend it!
I have had this bluetooth for over 6 months, and I HAVE NOT had one bit of problems with this. I was on the phone and the person on the other end heard my little dog barking outside and the door was closed. The person on the other end can HEAR EVERYTHING VERY CLEARLY. On this end of the line, YOU CAN HEAR EVERYTHING CLEARLY!!
The voice recognition system, WORKS WONDERFUL!!! VERY SAFE FOR DRIVING!!!
I thought I lost this today, and I DECIDED AT THAT MOMENT, THAT I WAS GOING TO BUY THE VERY SAME BLUETOOTH, because this is the BEST BLUETOOTH!! I did extensive research before I purchased this. I'm glad I did. I know I've got the BEST ONE!!!
I bought this bluetooth to replace another Motorola BT that I accidentally put through the wash in the pocket of my shirt. I use it with an IPhone for business and it functions very well. The battery life is good. I can hear well as long as the earpiece is firmly in my ear. People I talked with say that they can hear me very well too with a minimum of background noise. The good news / bad news though is that it is small. That's good because the unit is lightweight and you don't even know you are wearing it; however, the buttons are very small and hard to find / use when it is on your ear. With practice you will probably get used to finding the right button but for people without nimble fingers, it is a consideration.
I just purchased the Motorola HK201. This is the most comforatble bluetooth I've ever had. I bought a Motorola previously that fit over your ear, but not in it. I used it for years and then lost it. I bought another and I couldn't wear it for very long because it hurt the inside of my ear....lost that one after a couple weeks. This one is fantastic. It fits perfectly in my small ear and doesn't pinch at all. As with my propensity for losing bluetooths, the price was right as well. Very easy pairing, sound quality is great! Love it.
Not very expensive and not sure if any of the expensive ones would work any better. I've owned Motorola Bluetooths in the past and they seem to make quality devices. It is comfortable enough to wear hours at a time. I wear it all day because it is so convenient to be able to cook or do other things while talking on the phone and not having to hold the phone up to my ear! Sounds are clear and people that I talk to don't report any background noises or hissing. I wouldn't trust any of the very inexpensive devices (under $ 25).
This is a wonderful little bluetooth headset. I thought that I would only use it when I was driving, but found it so comfortable and convenient that I have ended up using it whenever I am on the phone. I am able to leave the phone in a spot that gets good reception and walk around or have my hands free to write, do dishes, etc. This little gadget has sure helped to keep me productive, even when I am on the phone. (Especially those annoying calls when you are on hold). At only 34.95, this is a great value. The sound is crisp and clear and the headset can be worn comfortably for hours at a time.
This is my first ever Motorola bluetooth and I just love it . The price was awesome , other sites wanted to charge at least $29.95 and up , but of course it was cheaper purchasing this bluetooth at Walmart. Not even spending $25 for both the earpiece and shipping combined . Kudos . Set up with my Android was very easy . And I don't have to worry about talking and people saying that they can't hear me like with my other bluetooths , 7 to be exact . So I think this one is a keeper . I would recommend this headset to anyone looking for something simple and easy to use .
I have had numerous Bluetooth headsets and always end up preferring the Motorola brand. This one has been the best so far. It was very simple to pair, the features are great and the sound is exceptional (and I am a little hard of hearing) and it is comfortable enough to wear even under my motorcycle helmet. Also stays charged for a long time. I would say this is one of the best out there in this price range.
Bought this to work with LG Banter and it works. Spoken features are great, in case you push buttons by mistake or intentional when driving you'll know what feature it is using. Clear sound. Sits just outside ear canal so if you have small ear canals these should work for you. The Walmart.com price can't be beat in the stores. Worth the money. I will buy additional ones for family.
This bluetooth works great for me. Only problem is for people like me who have very small ears its hard to adjust it to fit and sometimes if your adjust it to much it snaps in half. But other than that I love it, you can hear it very clear and people can hear me very clear.
I have owned this item for 3 months, it was good in the beginning, but now it has nothing but problem. The Bluetooth will not activate on my phone half the time. It cuts in and out often, the noise reduction does not work well either. I have purchased a different Bluetooth and got rid of this fantastic mess of a product.
I bought this for myself. I find the headset to be light weight and comfortable. The main problem I have, is that even when the volume is turned all the way up on the device I cannot hear the person on the other end, unless they shout. That doesn't make for very pleasant conversations. I will be taking it back to the store. I might add that I have very good hearing, and I used this in a very quiet place. I even had my husband try it to see if I did something wrong. He agrees, too quiet.
Works great with Iphone and with Siri. Fits great and the battery life is fantastic. Buying one now for my wife and son.
Makes driving much safer now hands free easy set up.
the incoming calls are clear and everyone I speak to on it can't even tell. my carrier charges twice the price for this model. I love that the bluetooth is voice animated to make sure your phone and device are connected. It even lets me know when the battery is low.
I personally did not like it, the the piece that fits in the ear is to large for the ear. The plactic
piece that should hold it on the ear is very flimsy does not hold very well.
I had high expectations for this, but i was a little disappointed. overall it's okay but the noise cancellation could be a whole lot better
Awesome Bluetooth! Motorola always does a good job.
This bluetooth is terrible. Everyone I talked to on it said it sounded like I was driving with the window open even when they were closed. Not one person told me I sounded clear. I returned it and bought the motorola H560 which fits the same and is only $4 more and everyone says the sound is SO MUCH BETTER!
I purchased this product based on the reviews here. some were good and a few were bad. I found the product to be junk. my current blue tooth works but it does not have a rechargeable battery so i thought motorola should be a good one. this bluetooth has issues with the volume. at its highest level it sounds like a whisper. sitting in my quiet house i could barely hear the commands. at the mid and lower levels i couldn't hear anything. I have the volume up all the way on my phone and still can't hear it. Don't waste your time or your money.

I have a domain that points to my ISP assigned IP though a CNAME (cname goes to my noip address incase my ISP decides to change the IP), I would like to route different subdomains to various IP:PORT combinations in the internal networks, but I'm not entirely sure how to accomplish this.
Currently, I have nginx acting as a reverse proxy for several different subdomains, and routing to the appropriate apache server. But I would like to also route subdomains to specific IP:port for non http communication such as RDP or VPN.
The idea is to be able to reach my services using different subdomains instead of using port forwarding to get directed to the correct IP:Port.
I have ClearOS (CentOS6) as a gateway between my network and the internet, would something with iptables work?
The end result should be something like this
- rdp.example.com -> 192.168.1.1:3389
- vpn.example.come -> 192.168.1.5:1194
- www1.example.com -> nginx -> 192.168.1.1:80 (This is already setup)
- www2.example.com -> nginx -> 192.168.1.4:80 (This is already setup)
Can anyone help?

Jane Pauley, who, while campaigning for Barack Obama in 2008, declared "I want to see the cool, steady hand of Barack Obama on that Bible on Inauguration Day," has joined CBS News as a contributor to CBS News Sunday Morning. She also gushed back in 2008: "Not only could Barack Obama be a good President, he'd be an exceptional one. And I so look forward to it."
Pauley, who worked for the Indiana Democratic State Central Committee in 1972, co-hosted NBC's Today show from 1976 to 1989 and has been a contributor again to NBC's morning show since 2010.
Using her husband's last name, Jane Trudeau, she maxed out to the Obama campaign in 2008 with a donation of $2,300, per OpenSecrets.org [1].
(TVNewser [2] item and USA Today [3] post on her network switch.)
Pauley's yearning for Obama, quoted above, came in interviews with WISH-TV and WTIU-TV in Indianapolis after an Obama campaign rally in September of 2008. (See the video for clips from those TV stories.)
WTHR.com reported [4] at the time:
Former Today Show and Dateline co-host Jane Pauley returned to Indiana Sunday in support of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Pauley started her day speaking to supporters at Southside Park.
The Warren Central graduate will lead a door-to-door campaign in Central Indiana...
After her first Today stint, Pauley co-hosted Dateline from 1992 to 2003. The MRC reviewed Pauley's later years at NBC with a Media Reality Check in 2003, "Jane Pauley's 'Unusual Empathy' for Liberals [5]," which recalled how she once cued up Hillary Clinton: "What don't you do perfectly?"
Pauley is amongst 30 "media-Obama revolving door" names listed in a February Media Reality Check [6]I complied. (Excerpt posted on NewsBusters [7])

Discovery Triples CEO Performance Bonus After Profit Climbs 42%
Discovery Holdings Ltd., which owns South Africa's largest medical-insurance administrator, tripled Chief Executive Officer Adrian Gore's annual performance bonus after company profit increased by 42 percent.
Gore, 46, was paid a total remuneration of 8.46 million rand ($1.23 million) in the last fiscal year, which included a basic salary of 2.3 million rand, a performance bonus of 4.67 million rand and a so-called phantom bonus plan of 924,000 rand, according to the Johannesburg-based company's annual report received by e-mail yesterday. The previous year's annual report showed Gore's salary package totaled 5.16 million rand, including basic pay of 2.91 million rand, a performance bonus of 1.56 million rand and phantom pay of 51,000 rand.
Discovery, which Gore founded in 1992, has increased net income every year for 10 years. In South Africa, which doesn't provide a national health-care system, many companies including Rand Merchant Bank and Avusa Ltd. have joined Discovery's medical plan to provide private health care for their staff.
Discovery also offers programs linked to gyms and retailers such as Pick n Pay Stores Ltd. to encourage customers to use the insurer's services. As the domestic market has matured, Discovery has branched out into China, the U.K. and the U.S. to maintain its earnings growth.
The company's phantom bonus plan is cash-settled and linked to Discovery's share price, paying out two, three and five years after allocations are made, according to the company. The insurer's share price has risen 33 percent in the past 12 months.

New Works 4 Week: AfterLife
This weekend Red Eye Theater continues its month-long multidisciplinary festival, New Works 4 Weeks, with a solo performance starring Candy Simmons called AfterLife. The play, co-written by Simmons and Chris Van Strander, has toured the Fringe circuit to wide acclaim in the U.S. and Canada, receiving the Best Female Performer award in the 2008 Victoria Fringe. Centering on three American women in three different time periods, the work explores the changing roles of women throughout the 20th century. There's Ruth, a 1928 Appalachian midwife, who desperately wants a family; Marion, a 1950s homemaker who discovers yoga; and Karma, a film producer in crisis. Simmons is a great performer, and the show promises to be both entertaining and thought-provoking. The festival continues over the last two weekends in June with works from interdisciplinary dance artists Taja Will and Laura Holway. Both of their pieces were presented in their beginning stages during last year's festival, and will get full productions this year. The New Works 4 Weeks festival continues though June 26. For more details, see Red Eye's website at redeyetheater.org.

After viewing the premises I decided that I had enough respect for myself, and cared enough about personal hygiene, that I let them keep the room, and found another place to stay. This was the filthiest place I have ever seen, and I have been in combat overseas, so that is saying a lot. Given the choice between staying inside, or sleeping in the muddy parking lot out back, I would choose the parking lot were it not for the safety concerns. ...

Rated 5 out of 5�by Mechanic Comfortable Like the boot comfortable only heel hurts on the back of the boot. Still getting them broke in March 5, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Contractor Very Comfortable, Good Boot. Very Comfortable. Short break-in period. Fits well. Size as stated. Good price. A little heavy but probably the steel toe and sturdy sole accounting for added weight. February 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dave 12 Hour Boots A year ago I had a cheap pair of boots that just tore apart right before work. I headed down to the store and after trying some different boots on, these were the ones I picked. I was in a rush and really didn't shop around as much as I normally would, so I was a bit under confident in my purchase. At the time I worked in a factory that builds parts for Nissan, I worked 4 days a week, 12 hour shifts as quality control (read-ton of walking across a huge factory floor and in between buildings - pedometer says usually 7 miles a day walking). Before I got these boots by the end of the day, and especially the week, I was barely making it out to my car. I had bought some Dr Shoals custom fits from a Walmart kiosk near the pharmacy section; that helped a bit but not much. These shoes alone are great but I decided not to waste my $40 Shoals CF inserts... I popped those into my new Timberland Pros and the transformation was complete. Not only was I able to walk around the factory and to my car with ease but it greatly reduced whole body fatigue. If you've ever went from shoes that offer horrible support and throw everything out of whack to ones that don't...you know what I mean. At the time these were more expensive than they are now. At either price I'd say they are a great deal. I've owned a lot of shoes and worked many jobs most of which require being on the feet all day. These shoes (and Dr Shoals) made an otherwise negative quality about my job into a positive. I did wear these daily, and now that I don't wear them for factory work I still wear them weekly. If you didn't care to read any of that, final verdict...buy these shoes. January 19, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5�by 11 Too tight Read the reviews online about the boots being too small/ tight and they were correct. We returned the boots without any difficulty and my husband tried the wide version but still did not like the fit. We ended up with a completely different pair of Timberlands. Dick's was great about exchanging the boots. January 17, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5�by Rosie well constructed, excelent stitching, very light weight These boots are about as good as they get. The leather is well stitched and very easy to break in, the treads are excellent, and they are very well insulated. Overall, its a very good boot! I work in landscaping and they hold up to my everyday wear-and-tear job. January 7, 2015

Tracking variable environments: There is more than one kind of memory

Three kinds of memory help herbivores track changes in the environment. The first is the collective memory of the species with genetic instructions that have been shaped by the environment through millennia. This includes skin and gut defense systems. Auditory and visual stimuli and sensations of pain impinge upon the skin defense system that evolved in response to predation. The taste of food and the sensations of nausea and satiety are an integral part of the gut defense system that evolved in response to toxins and nutrients in plants. The second kind of memory in social mammals is represented by the mother, a source of transgenerational knowledge, who increases efficiency and reduces risk of learning about foods and environments. The third kind of memory is acquired by individual experience. Postingestive feedback from nutrients and toxins enables individuals to experience the consequences of food ingestion and to adjust food preference and selection commensurate with a food's utility. The three memories interact, each linking the past to the present, and collectively shape the present and future of every individual. Thus, the dynamics of foraging involves appreciating the uniqueness of individuals and subgroups of animals, each with their own genetic and behavioral history, and recognizing that foraging behaviors may not be stable, optimal, or even predictable in the conventional sense.

Scripture: Psalm (NIV) 100:1 Shout for joy to the LORD all the earth.
2 Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
3. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Observation: Joy and gladness, shouts and songs are proper expressions in God's presence. In the above verse, I am told that gladness is to be a part of my worship.
Application: My circumstances may not be the source of my shouts and songs, of my joy and gladness. But I know who created me. I am His. I am a sheep in His pasture. I have much reason for joy. True joy in my heart will find some outward expression.
Prayer: Lord, when circumstances would make me hopeless, unhappy, and gloomy Your presence, Oh God, causes me to shout and sing and worship with joy and gladness! Amen

Morning, Roy, how are you feeling today? We've got some entertainment lined up for you tonight: first there'll be bingo in the lounge, then some pretty girls are coming in to do a sexy dance…
Girls in Japan are going gaga over this unbelievably perfect Chinese cosplayer, but much about him remains a mystery.
Chinese officials are set to discuss ways to stimulate the country's sputtering housing market during its Central Economic WorkingConference later this month, according to Chinese state media.
Whether it's deserved or not, China has something of a reputation for producing convincing copies. Another thing the country is known for, however, is having authorities that do not suffer fools gladly…
Back when China enforced its one-child policy, slogans were publicly displayed to deter citizens from having too many children. Many of them were not so much educational, however, as disturbing…
Beijing police have arrested a man who, while impersonating a woman, convinced another man to marry him and loan him tons of cash—all while maintaining that his victim had made him "pregnant."
At one time, nearly all of the 270 households in the village of Shawo would have been engaged in woodcraft, but today just six elderly men know the old techniques. Luckily, a younger generation is taking steps to ensure that the craft does not die out.
Disney's very first amusement park in mainland China, Shanghai Disneyland, is slated to open its doors in spring 2016. With the Chinese government's recent decision to end its controversial one-child policy and allow citizens to have up to two children per family without facing fines, the world's most populated country is bound to be teeming with more people than ever in the years to come.
Disney chairman and CEO Robert "Bob" Iger has expressed delight over the government's change on the one-child ruling, and has revealed some of the company's plans to incorporate China's rich culture into the magic of Shanghai Disneyland and satisfy Chinese visitors of all generations.
Every country has its own culture and unique customs that come with it. Understanding the social etiquette of the country before visiting can help to make the experience less overwhelming.
In China, you might be surprised to find that burping is considered a way of complimenting the chef or that a gift will be refused several times before it is accepted.
Here are 13 customs to know before traveling to China.
If you ever thought you'd been stuck in a traffic jam, you may want to think again.
Aerial footage taken yesterday in China shows what happens when thousands of people arrive at a toll booth at once as they head home after a week-long national holiday. With cars stretching as far as the eye can see and 50 lanes of vehicles, this is one traffic jam you don't want to be in.
We all know that scarecrows can be terrifying. but are they really scary enough to keep humans at bay? Well apparently in Russia, scarecrows scare you!
On the border between China and Russia, stuffed scarecrows man the border patrol guard towers. Is this a case of budget failure, laziness, or just a joke gone hay-wire? Read on to find out!
Some things are inseparable from a Japanese summer: fireworks festivals, face-melting heat and humidity, young men and women awkwardly courting in yukata, and of course the deafening roar of cicadas. Here, the vociferous critters just provide the soundtrack to summer, but did you know that in some places, they are on the summer menu too?
Our intrepid Japanese reporter Ponkotsu did and he sent off to the cicada-producing center of Lishui in China's Zhejiang Province for a bag of bugs to taste test.
A woman in China is being skewered on the Interwebs worldwide for her decision to refuse help from the fire department in rescuing her three-year-old child, who was trapped inside her luxury BMW on an exceptionally hot summer's day.
Fire crews are currently battling a blaze at a petrochemical plant in Rizhao City in China's Shandong Province following a massive explosion which occurred at just after 7:30am local time today.
Onlookers caught the moment the plant exploded on camera, only to then run for their lives as subsequent explosions caused the ground beneath their feet to shake.
Every summer for the past eight years, huge algae blooms have taken over the beaches near Qingdao, a city in the Shandong province of China.
The bright green stuff has blanketed at least 13,500 square miles of ocean this summer, according to the South China Morning Post.
And this isn't the first time it's happened. In 2013, the blooms got as big as the state of Connecticut! Check out this year's algae infestation.
Soaring summer temperatures can bring more dangers than sunburn and heatstroke. In Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province, TVs, computers and fans simultaneously caught on fire in 50 apartments when the voltage of the electrical supply suddenly surged above the standard level.
A set of infographics claiming to show differences between Hong Kong and China has been attracting attention online – much of it negative.
The striking images, which were created by a Hong Kong artist and posted to the Facebook page of Local Studio HK (本土工作室), cover topics such as cultural differences, politics, habits and censorship. As you might expect, it's ruffled more than a few feathers.
Believe it or not, the practice of women shaving their armpit hair in the United States is only about a century old. Before, apparently, around 1915, society didn't really expect women to shave their underarm hair at all. This had a lot to do with the fact that razor companies weren't shaming women into doing it yet, but also because, according to sources, back in 1915, even the mere mention of female underarm was enough to give men of the time an extreme case of the vapors.
Perhaps even more surprising, though, is the fact that the shaving of armpit hair among women didn't catch on in China until the 1990s – a mere two decades ago! And despite, or perhaps because of, the practice's relative newness, Chinese women are taking to the Internet in droves to proudly post photos of their armpit hair as a show of gender empowerment in the 2015 Armpit Hair Competition!
Scottish travel writer and photographer John Thomson was one of the first western photographers to travel to the Far East. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, he travelled extensively in China, recording what he saw for posterity.
From elaborately dressed brides to working fishermen, Thomson captured landscapes and city scenes, people and places. The result is a captivating insight into the everyday lives of Chinese people almost 150 years ago.
With pretty much everyone carrying a camera in their pocket these days, we're able to capture everything from the hilarious to the terrifying right as it happens, and the footage almost always finds its way to YouTube for everyone else's viewing pleasure.
Speaking of hilarious and terrifying, this video clip from China is a little bit of both.

She says it and means well, "It's going to be okay."
And I think, "No, it's not…but I am."
It's the paradox I'm learning to live with these days as my dear Grandpa Hollie faces illness and is getting ready for heaven at age 93. It doesn't matter that I've written a book about being okay—it still hurts. And that's the whole point. Continue Reading...

She loves connecting with the hearts of women through words as a life coach and blogger as well. You can hang out with her at www.holleygerth.com.
That last few weeks have held their share of questions. Like ping-pong balls they ricochet through my mind.

How will I get through this financially?
Should I really take that leap of faith
