If you're on track to lose weight and get healthy, this is good news for you. A research have shown that people who are in the Weight Watchers Diet Program has lost more weight compared to those who did it alone.
This is what Craig Johnston, the lead scientist of the research in Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, along with his colleagues found out after recruiting 292 overweight and obese adults in Danbury, Connecticut. The test was relatively easy. They split entire number into two groups, gave the first group printed materials about to lose weight, while provided the other group access to the Weight Watchers program for free.
The Weight Watchers program consisted of various tools they could use like an interactive website and mobile application. They are also encouraged to attend weekly meeting of the entire group. In the six months' worth of research material, the results showed that the Weight Watchers group in average had lost 10 pounds for each person. On the other hand, the people who were simply given handouts only lost just over a pound per person. This is clearly a huge difference in how the people reacted to the program.
In an interview, Johnston said that, "The people who were most engaged were the people who did best in the program." To add to what Johnston has said, Hayden Bosworth mentioned that "Having options to choose how you get that info and support is absolutely key."
One thing the study suggested that people are better when they stay engaged compared to simply talking to a doctor for a one-time advice. Moreover, if people did actually paid for the program that costs around $43, they will be more compelled to move and to stay healthy. This is one of the benefits of staying involved in the process.

Our Candles, Tarts, & Scent Sprays
We have been pouring candles for over 16 years and we take pride in each and every one. We use the premium that can retain the high amount of quality oils that we use. We put our money into the wax and the scent because we believe the smell is the most important part of any candle. Our small jelly jar candles burn around 60 hours and our medium and large candles 2-wick candles both burn around 85 hours.
Our tarts are made with the same fragrant oils as our candles but the wax is a harder version that allows it to release easily so you won't have to scrap to get them out of your burners. We are very confident they are stronger and longer lasting than other tarts you've tried! *Sold in increments of 4.
Our Scent Sprays are made with our quality oils. Spray a few sprays on the carpet in your home or your car for scent that will last for hours! These are extremely concentrated so one bottle will last for weeks. Spray throughout the house for an instant solution to a stinky problem! Perfect for teachers or anyone who's not able to use candles or tarts at their job. *For use on carpets

Big Think Interview With Catherine Asaro
Catherine Asaro
A conversation with the bestselling science fiction writer.
Over a year ago
: How do you integrate concepts from physics into your science fiction?
Catherine Asaro:
The editor who finally bought my first book said, "I like all the science in it. I like its hard SF. That's what we're looking for." And I said, "What is hard SF?"
He said, "You know, science based science fiction. You are putting a lot of science into your book." I said, "Oh am I?" I so much take for granted that part of my life now that I wasn't really consciously aware I was doing it. For "The Quantum Rose" it's really hard to say exactly what inspired that. I was working on my doctorate at the time and my Doctorate is in Theoretical Atomically and Molecular Physics. So it just seemed at the time completely natural that that characters and the plot points and the symbolism in the book would be mirroring quantum scattering theory. It just made sense to me; the story is a retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" in a science-fiction science-y setting.
And so the two characters Beauty and the Beast, the two people in the story who are playing those roles, seemed to me like they were acting like particles in quantum scattering theory. They were coming around, orbiting each other, bouncing off, you know, we were having coupled, channel interactions. It made sense at the time, so what I did was... the book takes place on a fairly low tech world where they're not going to break into soliloquies about quantum scattering theory.
Sometimes what I'll do is if it's a really neat idea that I want to get across, I might have a character do something like think, "I don't understand how this is going to work. And if I can't figure it out, you know, something terrible is going to happen, like an explosion will occur." So I'll use the character having to figure it out to show the principle I'm trying to show.
: How did you first get into science fiction?
Catherine Asaro
: I thought I would be a dancer. I always like signs because, you know, my father is a chemist, he's a nuclear chemist. And in fact he was the chemist who found the iridium anomalies in the earth's crust from the boundary 65 million years ago that made them propose that a comet or an asteroid hit the Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs, among many other species. So that's what I grew up around. We used to go to his lab when I was a kid and he would show us things, like he'd pour liquid nitrogen on the floor and we'd see how it'd beaded it up and ran in all different corners.
And then he'd put a rose and he'd take the rose out and tap it with a hammer and it would shatter. So I was always exposed to that as a child and I loved it but I loved the dancing too. I really didn't know which I wanted to do. I trained as a dancer all the way up until college and all the time in the back of my mind, every time I was exposed to science I'd think, "Well this is nice too."
They're both very intensive fields. If you're going to do well in it, no matter how much talent you have, you have to put the work in too. So if I was dancing six hours a day and studying six hours a day, I didn't have much time for life. So that's why mostly I concentrated on the dancing first.
I had some trouble reading when I was very young, like 4 or 5. And when I started first grade I was actually in the middle reading group and one day I went home and I picked up my sister's book for her class because she was in a grade ahead of me. And I read the book from front to back in one afternoon.
And I went to my mother and I said, "I want something to read. I read this book front to back," And she kind of stared at me and then apparently I found out later she went in the next to the school and said, "You have to do something with my daughter. She's not doing well because she's bored, not because she doesn't know how to do it." So they started trying to get me involved in reading and I remember one of the books that we got from the library was about these two kids, this brother and sister that went to the moon with their cat.
I just loved this. I loved going to the moon. I loved the spaceship. The whole idea of going into outer space. And I also liked that they brought their cat. So I found these space cats books that was written for kids and it was about this cat that when with this astronaut to the moon and Venus. And it was really my Eureka! moment. I thought, "I love this stuff. Outer space is wonderful." I want to read everything I can. So I did, I went to the kids library and I read pretty much everything they had available for children in the science fiction section, Andre Norton, Heinlein, Asimov, all of the classic names in the field.
It was always science fiction or fantasy. As a child I didn't really make a distinction between the two. I knew they were different. I knew science fiction was about if you extrapolate a scientific principle we know is true, what will happen? And I knew fantasy was made up out of more like mythologies, like, you know, fantastic characters and magic. But to me it was all that sense of wonder. It's different. It's stepping outside the usual life that we live and almost always especially in science fiction, you were stepping outside to solve a puzzle, which was the other thing I really liked.
: When did you discover your passion for science?
Catherine Asaro
: One day I remember going to the library and I started reading this chapter on electronic structure, I got there about 10:00 in the morning. And I thought, "This is really neat stuff."
So I read that chapter and I thought, "I like that. I'm going to read the next chapter." So I read the next chapter and then there wasn't anymore in the book about the stuff I liked, so I went upstairs to the physics library and I said, "Do you have any of this quantum mechanics stuff?" And they said, "Oh yeah." So they gave me a book by Linus Pauling and some other quantum mechanics books. And I took those downstairs and I read their sections on electronic structure, and I just loved it. I didn't want to stop.
I remember getting up at one point to get something to eat out of the vending machines. And then I was studying and somebody tapped me on the shoulder, and I looked up and it was the security guard. And he said, "I'm sorry ma'am, you have to go." And I looked around and the library was completely empty, I was the only person. It was midnight and they were closing. So I sat in there from 10:00 in the morning until midnight. I was just so enthralled by the subject and I knew then, I mean, that was definitely my "Eureka!" moment. That's what I wanted to do. That's what I wanted to study.
: What are the similarities between ballet and mathematics?
Catherine Asaro:
There are a lot of similarities or things that fit together between, especially ballet and mathematics. Ballet for one thing, it's all about spatial perception. To give you an example, I had a student when I was teaching physics at Kenyon College who was also a ballet dancer. And she was talking to me one time because she really liked physics and I knew her from both ballet and physics because I taught her as a physics professor and we both took the ballet classes at the college.
And she said to me, "Well, I'd really like to do physics but I know girls don't have as good spatial perception." And this was for a while a misconception; I'm not sure where it got started but the idea that girls somehow couldn't do this. I think it's pretty much fallen by the wayside now, but at the time she believed it. And I said, "Okay, I want you to answer a question for me." She said, "Okay." I said, "You're taking that ballet class for credit." She says, "Oh yeah, I'm taking quite a few dance classes for credit." I said, "So you have to do an exam or a final project." And she said, "Well yeah, of course."
I said, "What's your final project?" And she said, "Oh I choreographed a dance." And I said, "For how many people?" And she said, "Eight." And I said, "Okay, how did you choreograph this dance for eight people?" And she said, "Well I put on the music and I imagine in my head what they would do and then I went and told them what to do." I said, "So you envisioned for a three to four minute piece of music the steps of eight people moving in space and you figured out and played with that and came up with a plan?" She said, "Well yeah, of course." And I said, "I wish my physics majors had that good of spatial perception."
And I think it was one of those eye-opening moments. I know for me the realization that being able to make the connection between different areas of what we do in our life. If you can think in terms of imagining dancers or sports, and what they're doing on the playing field you have very good spatial perception. And that translates very easily into physics. Imagine the theoretical physics and how wave functions, and wave forms move, and that sort of thing.
The other part that's very connected is ballet is very much about algorithms and patterns, and numerics. Everything we do in an exercise, for example, at the bar is an algorithm. And you learn them, they become incorporated in our body. You think, "Okay two here, one here, one back, reverse it," and you have to be able to reverse things very quickly, learn them very quickly. You have to become so used to the patterns that especially if you become professional, you can just go like that when someone tells you to do such and such. That's means you're incorporating not only the spatial perception aspects, but the ability to quickly see and make patterns or algorithms in your mind.
And then of course there's also the classical music connection. We've known for a long time that many mathematically oriented people are also very musical. And even Bach, there have been whole analysis of the mathematics of his music; you get that in dance, too. So when you put all those things together, it's no surprise to me at all that I found a connection between ballet and math. And I'm finding it in my students, too. Now that you see more girls going into mathematics, you tend to see more girls in ballet too, so the connection is becoming more obvious. A lot of my best students who are female were also dancers or something similar, something connected to that.
: When you are writing a novel, solving a math problem, or dancing, what keeps you focused?
Catherine Asaro:
If I were to try and find a unifying emotion that kept me calm and focused while I was dancing or writing, or solving a math problem, I think the one unifying thing about all those that keeps my interest is creativity. It's what I like best about doing any of them. It's the creativity and also having the technical ability to use your creative impulses. To solve math problems, you need to know the basic mathematics before you can start applying it. So you have to get technical expertise in how to solve the problems.
To do ballet, I love doing it, but you need the technical ability to do the steps. I can imagine my leg up here but if I'm out of shape the leg won't go up even if I want it to. And it's the same for science and for writing. To write you have to be able to know how to put words together. So part of the joy of it for me is the mastery of the techniques. Watching yourself improve, seeing the improvement, seeing the leg go from here to here, to here, knowing you're getting better at it. The satisfaction of going, "Oh I can do that today and I couldn't yesterday."
But really that, in one sense, is the end to the means. And the means is that now I can apply my creative ideas and I have the tools to do it. I can tell that story that's been evolving in my mind. I have the tools now to put it down on paper and make it on paper the way I see it in my head. So I would say the creative part is the most satisfying for me.
: If you had to choose between teaching math and dancing, which would you pick?
Catherine Asaro
: If I had to decide and I could only teach either physics or math, or ballet, it would be a really tough decision. I think probably I would teach the math because you can keep teaching a subject like math or physics forever, essentially. Whereas with dance, you have to stay in shape and if you don't stay in shape it gets harder and harder to teach the class. That's not saying that every teacher has to be at the top of her peak or his peak, but for me I don't feel like I'm demonstrating well if I can't do the steps myself.
So if I were teaching dance, of course I would be doing more dance, but I think if I had to make a choice, as tough as it would be I would probably go with math as what I'd teach.
: Is there a specific benefit of excelling both science and the arts?
Catherine Asaro:
For one thing, it's very satisfying. For another, you get paid a lot better as a scientist than as an artist. I actually make a living as a writer, but it goes up and down and enough of a living to pay a mortgage on a house, and buy a car, and send a child to college oversees, no it's not enough of a living for that.
In other arts, for example music, I also sing and play concerts. And for people who are doing acting, and playing instruments, it's really hard to make a living unless you happen to be one of the people that hits really big. Whereas in science, once you get the degree, if you're reasonably good at what you do, you can pretty much get a well-paying job. So I would say the benefit of doing both is that when the arts side goes down as far as whether the economy goes bad or I don't happen to get a contract this term or whatever, you still have income from your work as a scientist.
But I think from a more creative point of view, the two complement each other. A lot of my writing has mathematics in it just because for me it fits so well. When I think about math it gives me an idea for the writing and when I think about the writing I go "Wait a minute, that gave me an idea how to solve a problem that I was working on in the physics or the math." As to how that happens or why I couldn't tell you.
: What's the biggest challenge in working in both arts and sciences?
Catherine Asaro
: I would say that both ask of you a lot of time. If you want to excel in either, it's not enough just to be profoundly talented because no matter how talented someone is and I sometimes see that with my math students. I'll get someone who I know has the potential to do brilliant work, but you also have to want to put in the time to do it. It has to be the thing that excites your passion, because it takes hours or work. You know, we talked about prodigies in music, well yes, they're prodigies because not only are they good but they play the piano for hours a day.
Same with my daughter who was sometimes called a prodigy as a ballet dancer, yes she was very good but the reason she was dancing professional at such a young age was because she put in six, seven hours a day sometimes dancing. And science is the same; if you want to get a degree, getting a physics major is not an easy curriculum. Getting a degree in math, going to graduate school and getting a doctorate in a scientific or mathematical subject, it's a big time commitment. And then when you go out into the world to work, you have to keep up on all the research. You have to do your own work.
If you're at a university you could be spending 70, 80, 90 or more hours a week on your job. So I would say the biggest challenge is finding the time to do both and do them well.
: What advice do you give your daughter about her own artistic and scientific pursuits?
Catherine Asaro:
I remember very much telling her when she would say, "Maybe I'll just quit ballet. Maybe I'll just quit math." I'd say, "Well you could do that." And she also was playing the piano excessively too. I said, "You're doing a lot, and it might help you to balance things better." I said, "But you know I quit dancing when I was in college and I've always regretted it. I was able to go back and pick up the, some of the techniques so I can still dance." I said, "But I wished I hadn't." And she said, "Okay, I'll think about it." And she thought about it, and she decided when she would periodically think about eliminating one of those things. She usually decided not to. What we told her was, we would support whatever she wanted to do. If she wanted to keep doing all three we would find ways to help her balance. If she wanted to drop something we would be supportive of that too.
And in fact, she did, when she was 6 years old. This is when it started coming up. It was pretty young. She was doing the both the ballet and gymnastics. She is very talented physically for coordinated-type exercises. And the coach said, "I think she can be a really good competitive gymnast."
And so they were training her to do that when she was 6-years-old and she was going many hours. And she said, "Mom I don't think I want to do this." She said, "I like the performance part of dancing more than the competitive part of gymnastics." And I said the same thing to her then. I said, "If you decide it's really what you don't want to do then we'll drop it because you shouldn't put that much pressure on yourself if you don't feel it's what you want to do." And the thing I usually always told her was think about it for a few days and so she thought about it.
And in that case she came back and she said, "I'm pretty sure it's not what I want to do." So she stopped doing gymnastics and I don't think she ever went back to it after that. Another thing that she always wanted to do was singing. She didn't have much time so she hasn't done a lot of it. But it's the same I told her with that. Never feel that you're not able to do something if you want to. I said, "Don't put pressure on yourself to do it if you don't feel you have time or you don't feel you're ready, or you're not sure whether you want to do it or not." I said, "Just the thing to remember is don't do anything that you want to do because you think you won't be able to do it."
I said, "Always try. It doesn't matter if you're not the best in it, that's okay. As long as you enjoy it." So I think that was probably the best advice I gave her was, don't limit yourself.

It would be an understatement to say that Congress has taken a multifarious approach on cybersecurity legislation.
In the Senate, where the focus has been on comprehensive legislation, there are two competing bills: One offered by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) called the SECURE IT Act, and the other introduced by a trio of senators from across the aisle called the Cybersecurity Act of 2012.
The House, meanwhile, has even more cyber bills circulating, although most of them are much smaller in scope than either of the Senate's.
Paul Rosenzweig, a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation and the former the deputy assistant secretary for policy at the Homeland Security Department, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss the competing proposals.

Federal employee bill tracker: How pending legislation could affect your bottom line
Rosenzweig hosted a Heritage Foundation discussion that included remarks by the Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who has also introduced a bill dealing with cybersecurity and intelligence sharing.
Rosenzweig said while he appreciates both approaches, he tends to favor a more incremental method.

Sara United States of ...
We had been in Budapest in April 2016 and really enjoyed our tours with Tomas and George. Lucky for us, Tomas was waiting for our tour and we greeted each other like old friends. We explored St. Stephen's Basilica, tried wild boar sausage, enjoyed strudel and wine tasting along with good conversation, and the headed out to several more Christmas markets before finishing up with mulled wine. Tomas did a great job balancing history and culture with the Christmas markets. There was plenty of conversation, lots of laughs, and my mom enjoyed learning from Tomas as much as we did!
This is a great introduction to the city of Budapest, but I think the night walking tour and cruise is the best way to familiarize yourself with the city, but if you're looking for holiday cheer, this tour gets it done, too.
Doing what: Budapest Christmas Market Tour with Wine Tasting
Thomas our guide was fantastic, very enthusiastic and eager to involve us in the tour. There was a horse race on and festival but he worked around it beautifully. The walk across to the castle was a highlight. Heroes square, Stephens Bascillica and the pastries were all highlights. His knowledge and way of delivering it ensured i remembered much of the information - he was a breath of fresh air.
The majority of the walking is quite easy and flat, the stairs at the end are quite strenuous. You even get to go on the quaint underground system (a must for all travellers!!) I would definately recommend this tour.

First a lesson on wines of Hungary and a wine tasting, excellent. Guide was a college student named "Barbie", a rough English translation. Then on to St Stephen's Church, also excellent on the history. Then on to the Christmas Market and hot punch. All around superb.
Doing what: Budapest Christmas Market Tour with Wine Tasting
4 hour tour took us all around the city. Guide was knowledgeable and good. I was only disappointed that we seemed to see several things only from the outside Mathias Church, St. Stephen's Church etc. Should have had a few more stops to get down and see.
Doing what: Budapest Tour with Optional Danube River Cruise
St Stephens Church is beautiful and the acoustics are exceptional! The concert was wonderful. The dinner cruise did have traditional Hungarian dishes, but except for the stuffed cabbage and sauerkraut nothing was exceptional. The boat needed paint and new carpet, but once we got to the beautiful lit up bridges and government buildings we all went to the upper deck or front or back of the boat anyhow to take pictures. Budapest is so beautiful at night along the river and to see it from a boat is highly recommended
Doing what: Budapest St Stephen's Basilica Organ Concert with Optional Danube River Dinner Cruise
Great way to explore the city. The tour guide was knowledgeable but we thought that the tour pace was rather fast. No free time was given during the tour so we couldn't go inside the St. Stephen's. Rather than lunch during the lunch hour, we only had a chance to have pastry and drink.
Doing what: Budapest All in One Walking Tour
The tour was good, but even in 3 hours it was too rushed to see much of the city. Mostly we just saw buildings from the outside without ever having the chance to see the inside. Although it was great to enjoy strudel en route, perhaps that 1/2 hour could be used to show other sites or to explore inside a building (eg. St. Stephen's) or pass in front of the Parliament Buildings. Budapest is spread out and doesn't lend itself easily to a walking tour - thank goodness for the metro. Barbara HB was a good guide and most helpful in arranging some other details for me.
Doing what: Budapest All in One Walking Tour
The city tour was OK, covering most of the main tourist sites. It didn't include stops at the Parliament or St Stephen's Church, which was disappointing. The guide tended to ramble on a bit. Danube cruise was enjoyable.
Doing what: Budapest Tour with Optional Danube River Cruise
Preceded by a Hungarian wine tasting and tutorial in a charming off street local book and media shop, followed by a fascinating visit to St Stephen's cathedral where perchance we were privileged to hear a rehearsal of the choir performing a Christmas cantata. The Christmas market was our favorite of mArkets visited in four countries largely made so by the sharing of personal favorite stalls and their offerings by our guide.

Great guide, good English would have liked to have found out more about tradition ,etc walked thru the Opera House, St Stephens on our way to the market. If you're there at Christmas do the market on your own, its fun and real easy. Good street food !! a local delicacy ,Rooster Testicles, Yummy!!!

Understanding preferreds may be simple, but it can get much more complex when trying to analyze the underlying company's ability to pay the dividends.
Tsakos Energy (NYSE:TNP) released a new preferred offering at the beginning of May. The preferred has a yield of 8%. This is a fairly decent yield, but how has the entire company fared lately.
The total offering amount is $50 million. So an 8% yield means the company will have to pay around $4 million in distributions yearly. Doesn't seem so bad for a company that made $60 million from operations in 2012, right?
TNP is unique because while it does produce a decent amount of cash flow, the cost of capital expenditures have caused it to report negative free cash flow. However, there may be a bright side to this. The negative free cash flow has fallen over the past three years from losing nearly $300 million to just $24 million. The company still has about a $145 million of cash on hand as well.
Besides lowering losses and a large amount of cash on hand, another reason why I believe Tsakos could be an interesting play is because management has cut the excessive dividend payments that used to exist. Last year, the company cut the quarterly dividend to 5 cents from 15 cents. In addition to this, Tsakos seems to have pushed back its current dividend that was due in Q1.
So the company does stand to save more than $10 million each year through the mix of cuts and suspensions. While these cuts and suspensions may concern those looking to invest in the preferreds, I believe they are necessary. The current 5%+ yield seems heavy for a company with negative free cash flow. In fact, investors looking to invest in the preferreds should take comfort in that the company is choosing to save money.
Finally, Tsakos has placed a unique provision in place in order to calm preferred shareholders. Under the Failure to Redeem or Dividend Default covenants, the company is required increase its dividend to 10% from 8%. So if the company happens to miss one quarterly payment, this would result in a dividend payment default. If TNP fails to redeem all of its preferreds on or before July 30, 2019, this would result in a covenant breach. This would mean the dividend would rise to 10% as well.
TNP's preferred B provides a unique opportunity to receive an 8% yield on a company that is cutting expenses and has plenty of cash on hand. It's likely the company could break even soon and with the preferred covenants in place, income investors could be at ease. I believe TNP series B provides income investors a decent yield if they are willing to take on a moderate amount of risk.
One last note, please be aware the preferreds are trading above par. I am not a huge fan of overpaying especially on a preferred like this. I recommend investors wait to get it slightly closer to par.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from NXT 200 grill We used this grill for the first time this weekend during our camping trip. The grill worked awesome. It used very little fuel and cooked everything very good. Very easy to transport and set up and very easy to clean. I can't wait to get the additional types of grills for it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Coleman NXT I have used this grill for tailgates and weekend camping. It is great for this applicationand should be more than adequate for music festivals next summer. It heats fast and when done cools quickly to pack away. The center of the grill might be a little hotter thanthe edges but is not a problem.Pros: Folds up for easy transportation and storageLarge grill surface used for 10 people at tailgateEasy to cook onCons: Not able to hook up to 20# tanks without purchase of additional itemsRight side tray/handle held on by undersize 6-32 screws that easily vibrate offwhen transporting. Bought some lock washers and think that fixed problem.Can not adjust for uneven ground and if not level the drip cup does not workand grease goes on legs of grill. Very messy.Wheels are too small and the method of attaching is junk. Do not expect them tobe nice and true running. The bolt will strip out the nut in the cross member longbefore it is tight. Too cheap to include a spacer to fix this problem? Not sure offix for that problem.Reluctantly recommend this product. Not a buy American fanatic but would improvethe build quality.

This will be Apple's first time venturing into the city, though many other tech companies have already established offices in the area.
The first hints that an acquisition may have taken place came when GeekWire noticed that Union Bay's co-founder Benn Bollay now lists himself as a manager at Apple on LinkedIn and seems to be attempting to recruit new workers in the area to the Cupertino tech giant. Bollay also wrote a post titled "Ever wanted to work at Apple, but didn't want to live in Cupertino?" and removed it shortly thereafter.

Following announcements earlier this month from both AT&T and Verizon, T-Mobile announced today it's introducing Voice over LTE support starting with the Seattle market:
So I'm thrilled to congratulate my team on the launch of Voice over LTE (VoLTE) in the Seattle area for our existing LG G Flex and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Light customers. Our friends at MetroPCS were the first to launch VoLTE in the U.S. back in 2012, and we've been working hard on a LTE Advanced version of VoLTE, which we plan to roll out to more T-Mobile customers throughout the coming year.
T-Mobile's CTO Neville Ray noted that the new technology, which brings voice calls onto the same LTE radio layer previously reserved for data, will allow "faster call setup times (almost twice as fast as a non-VoLTE call setup) and the ability to enjoy lightening fast LTE data speeds while on a call." It will also support the HD Voice or wide-band audio feature that Apple already supports. Ray explained how the technology works: expand full story

Preserves is a new record by ST/MiC and Elusive. It all started with the Beat Placement record Elusive released on Fly Definition Music back in the spring. ST/MiC was asked to do a verse on one of the beats for a promotional track. Problem was, he couldn't pick just one of the beats. So naturally, the hungry emcee in him ate up several of the beats in a short period of time. It started with the title track, Fly Def, which ended up being the first promotional freestyle for the Beat Placement (later on he added Jazz Addixx on the second verse to complete the track for the final version of Preserves). Within the first week ST/MiC had written 4 of the songs, recorded two, and by the end of the month he had written the entire EP, recorded all of the verses and was mixing down his verses while waiting on the cameo verses from the other emcees he included on the project. Everything came together really fast honestly. It was less than two months from the time ST/MiC got the beats until he finished the project, aside from having it mastered, which is a story in and of itself.

BrettL.Sep 6, 2007Adds a whole new dimension to Sims 2. I love the points you receive after returning from a vacation. The new environments are great, and really feel like a vacation. Sims 2 Bon Voyage is a great new expansion to explore.
TiaR.Sep 14, 2007I love this new expation pack .I think it's the best so far.I played for hours and never got bored. I'ts a must have for all sims fans.
TomC.Sep 16, 2007Oh my god this was the best of all the 10 Sims 2 games. This game is great, finally a Sims 2 game that lets you travel. Buy it and love it!!!
Sep 3, 2012For my opinion, this is the best expansion of The Sims 2. It doesn't only add new objects and possibilities, it adds the most special thing about the expansion, vacation. Exotic vacations and camping is full of enjoyments. You can rent a room in a hotel, where you can stay for 1 week max. What's good about vacations, is that you can meet people, and other stuff. 90 out of 100
Mar 8, 2013I'd say that this is the best Sims 2 expansion that I have played. It really enhances the idea of vacation in the Sims. It gives you tons of new items to work with and new things that you can do. It is also fun to build brand new vacation destinations for your Sims. A great expansion for a pretty good sim.
Awards & Rankings
Bon Voyage is a worthwhile expansion that makes plenty of neat little additions to The Sims 2.
It is time Maxis was held accountable for a product that has more bugs than it should – and fair-sized ones at that.
The vacation activities are certainly an entertaining break from the drudgery of everyday Sim life, and the new jewelry options and photo-taking feature are a nice addition to the game.

Wildlife Protection at Glover's Reef, Belize Falling Short
December 23, 2011 10:04 AM - David A Gabel, ENN
Belize, the small Central American nation facing the Caribbean Sea on the Yucatan Peninsula, is home to extremely diverse and tropical wildlife. A large stretch of sea surrounding Glover's Reef, an atoll reef lagoon that is home to a beautiful resort, has been placed under government protection. As a result of the fishing ban, populations of barracuda, groupers, snappers, and other predators have rebounded. However, populations of herbivorous fish have only slightly increased. This means trouble for the corals which depend on the herbivorous fish to eat the algae which collects upon and smothers them.
Diving Marine Mammals and Decompression
December 22, 2011 10:03 AM - Andy Soos, ENN
Decompression sickness (DCS) describes a condition arising from dissolved gases coming out of solution to form bubbles inside the body upon depressurization. So how do marine mammals, whose very survival depends on regular diving, manage to avoid DCS? Do they, indeed, avoid it? In April 2010, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's Marine Mammal Center (MMC) invited the world's experts in human diving and marine-mammal diving physiology to convene for a three-day workshop to discuss the issue of how marine mammals manage gas under pressure. Twenty-eight researchers discussed and debated the current state of knowledge on diving marine mammal gas kinetics—the rates of the change in the concentration of gases in their bodies. "Until recently the dogma was that marine mammals have anatomical and physiological and behavioral adaptations to make the bends not a problem," said MMC Director Michael Moore. "There is no evidence that marine mammals get the bends routinely, but a look at the most recent studies suggest that they are actively avoiding rather than simply not having issues with decompression."
The Female Brain During Pregnancy
December 22, 2011 10:00 AM - David A Gabel, ENN
Perhaps at no time is the human brain more altered than in a pregnant woman. It is a time of intense changes within the body not felt since puberty. The changes are not all physical though. What causes the unexplained cravings, the odd awakenings in the night, and the overall change in mood? According to a research study published in the journal, Current Directions in Psychological Science, there is a lot which we do not understand about the female brain during pregnancy.
December 21, 2011 01:46 PM - Andy Soos, ENN
Telemedicine is the use of telecommunication and information technologies in order to provide clinical health care at a distance. It helps eliminate distance barriers and can improve access to medical services that would often not be consistently available in distant rural communities. It is also used to save lives in critical care and emergency situations. Ronald Leach and colleagues at Howard University describe a highly asynchronous service model for healthcare delivery. The approach is much cheaper to implement than direct medicine and even less expensive than other approaches to telemedicine that have been suggested for rural and developing parts of the world. The approach to rolling out their solution is entirely incremental and would provide improved health service even in the initial stages before the system is fully implemented, the team says. "Our proposed service model provides relatively comprehensive, but not universal, healthcare coverage," says Leach.
Exploring Climate Change Impacts on Agriculture
December 21, 2011 09:55 AM - David A Gabel, ENN
The type of agriculture practiced in a given region depends heavily on the climate and weather that region receives. So naturally, with climate change, agriculture will be forced to change. Certain crops will have to be discarded for alternative crops which may grow better in the new climate. In other cases, agriculture will simply be no longer sustainable. Farms may have to close down or move to different latitudes or elevations. The unpredictable nature of climate change will make this quite a conundrum for farmers and the world at large.
Wine Mortality
December 20, 2011 11:42 AM - Andy Soos, ENN
Wine consumers, especially in comparison with harder alcoholic spirits drinkers, have been shown generally to have higher levels of education and income, to consume a healthier diet, be more physically active, and have other characteristics that are associated with better health outcomes. However, epidemiologic studies have been inconsistent in showing that, after adjustment for all associated lifestyle factors, consumers of wine have lower risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality than do consumers of other beverages. The new Boston University study examined level of wine consumption and total mortality among 802 older adults ages 55—65 at baseline, controlling for key sociodemographic, behavioral, and health status factors. Despite a growing consensus that moderate alcohol consumption is associated with reduced total mortality, whether wine consumption provides an additional, an unique protective effect is unresolved as a result.
The Core of the Earth
December 20, 2011 10:14 AM - Andy Soos, ENN
Based on the abundance of chemical elements in the solar system, the theory of planetary formation, and other chemical constraints regarding the remainder of Earth's volume, the inner core is composed primarily of a nickel—iron alloy. Because the inner core is more dense than pure iron or nickel, even under heavy pressures, it's believed that the remaining part of the core is composed of gold, platinum and other similar elements in quantity enough to coat Earth's surface. Identifying the composition of the earth's core is key to understanding how our planet formed and the current behavior of its interior. While it has been known for many years that iron is the main element in the core, many questions have remained about just how iron behaves under the conditions found deep in the earth. Now, a team led by mineral-physics researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has honed in on those behaviors by conducting extremely high-pressure experiments on the element.
Nitrate in the Thames
December 20, 2011 09:20 AM - Andy Soos, ENN
Nitrate pollution occurs usually as a result of agricultural practices (fertilizer). Intensive agriculture practices developed during the past century have helped improve food security for many people but have also added to nitrate pollution in surface and ground waters. New research has looked at water quality measurement over the last 140 years to track this problem in the Thames River basin. The Thames River catchment provides a good study example because the water quality in the river, which supplies drinking water to millions of people, has been monitored for the past 140 years, and the region has undergone significant agricultural development over the past century. The nitrate transport route as well as application use was studied for its net effects on the Thames.
Martian Landslide and Meteorite Strike
December 19, 2011 12:43 PM - Andy Soos, ENN
Cause and effect are not easy to distinguish. Dust avalanches around impact craters on Mars appear to be the result of the shock wave preceding the actual impact, according to a study led by an undergraduate student at the UA. When a meteorite careens toward the dusty surface of the Red Planet, it kicks up dust and can cause avalanching even before the rock from outer space hits the ground, a research team led by an undergraduate student at the University of Arizona has discovered.
Droughts could push parts of Africa back into famine
December 19, 2011 11:57 AM - Jeremy Hance, MONGABAY.COM
Drought and erratic rains could lead to further food scarcities in Africa warns the United Nations World Food Program (WFP). The WFP singles out South Sudan, the world's newest nation, and Niger as nations of particular concern. Earlier this year famine killed scores of people, including an estimated 30,000 children, in Somalia. In South Sudan drought and ongoing conflict threaten food supplies for 2.7 million people.
