IBM Tracks Rise in Cyber Monday Online Shopping
In addition, IBM reported that also for the first time, online traffic from mobile devices outpaced traditional PCs on Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving Day reached a new mobile tipping point with browsing on smartphones and tablets accounting for 52.1 percent of all online traffic. Overall Thanksgiving online sales were up 14.3 percent compared to 2013. The mobile momentum carried into Black Friday, which saw a surge in both online and mobile shopping as consumers brought their devices into the store to comparison shop. Overall Black Friday online sales were up 9.5 percent year-over-year with mobile devices accounting for one-in-four of all online purchases. New York City also retained its title as the top U.S. city for Black Friday online shopping. "Mobile has become the new Thanksgiving tradition as consumers find the best deals with their fingers as well as their feet," said Jay Henderson, director of IBM Smarter Commerce, in a statement. "We saw retailers harness the power of data to engage shoppers, identifying the unique preferences of their customers while quickly capitalizing on online, mobile or in-store trends as they emerged." The IBM Digital Analytics Benchmark is delivered to clients through the company's Smarter Commerce initiative, which combines innovation from $3.5 billion invested to develop IBM's customer engagement platform with expertise working with 8,000 global brands and 35,000 commerce engagements."Black Friday becomes more irrelevant every year," Forrester retail analyst Sucharita Mulpuru said in a statement. "Black Friday has been eclipsed by Cyber Monday, shipping cut-off dates in December, and even Thanksgiving." Forrester forecasts online holiday sales will reach $89 billion this year. Mulpuru added that Cyber Monday "promises to be the biggest ever as more consumers shop online and look for great deals. It's a short selling season again this year so retailers will need to be prepared for the few big dates that will be their big sales drivers."
IBM reported that Thanksgiving Day online sales increased 14.3 percent over 2013, with Black Friday up 9.5 percent year-over-year. Average order value on Thanksgiving was $125.25, down 1.8 percent over 2013; Black Friday was $129.37, down 4.4 percent. This trend may indicate that shoppers are becoming more comfortable and digitally savvy in how they use online coupons and rebates to secure the best bargains. Black Friday online sales were 63.5 percent higher than Thanksgiving Day. This is a decrease from 2013, however, when it was 70 percent higher as Thanksgiving online sales continue to eat into Black Friday shopping.

how to flush dns cacheNovember 21st, 2009 by Andrea Matesi 1030 Views
Recently I was making some modifications to my website, in fact, I moved the whole site from a windows server to a linux one.
After almost 24h (and once OpenDNS online servers got updated), I was still browsing the old one, so I discovered the problem was lying inside my client's DNS cache. I found many suggestions, but the bullet proof™ ones (at least for me!) are the following:
how to clean windows dns cache:
ipconfig /flushdns
how to clean ubuntu dns server, dns cache:
rndc flush
how to clean MAC OS X dns cache:
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

Everyone can agree that firefighters are all heroes -- but we dont really understand exactly what goes on in a fire. You might have seen Backdraft a million times, but it still doesnt quite capture the feeling of being in the midst of a blaze. A lot of people know about firefighting, agrees former Denver firefighter and current filmmaker Rob Bieber. Theyve seen a lot of movies that try to convey in some way the firefighters experience inside the burning building. But every single movie Ive seen has failed terribly to convey that experience.
Thats why Bieber and a cinematographer partner decided to make Rickys Rib Shack, a film shot entirely in Denver that truly does convey what its like to fight a fire. Because I was still on the fire department at the time, they gave us unprecedented access to everything, Bieber says. We got right into the action, into the middle of everything. So in the middle, in fact, that the cameras were damaged. We got bruised and a little bit battered, Bieber remembers.
If you missed the screening of Rickys Rib Shack on Wednesday, November 12, dont fret; it plays again on Thursday, November 13. Both shows are at the Landmark Theater in Greenwood Village, 5415 Landmark Place. Tickets are $12, which includes popcorn and soft drinks, and all proceeds benefit the Denver Fire Fighters Burn Foundation, which helps children with severe burn injuries. The film is not rated; it contains intense scenes and some adult language -- it was shot in a fire, for crying out loud -- so parents, use your judgement. Visit www.rickysribshack.com for more information.

The unmanned Titan 4A rocket, built by Lockheed Martin, lifted off at 7.30am carrying the satellite for the US National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). There have been no reports of injuries and the cause of the explosion is not known.
Television images broadcast showed the rocket was over the ocean when it exploded. "Oh no," the commentator said as the rocket blew up 40 seconds after lift-off. "At this time it appears we have had a major malfunction of the vehicle. We have had an explosion."
There were two or three distinct loud bangs, setting off car alarms and burglar alarms in nearby Cocoa Beach.
Space analysts said they believed the Titan was carrying an eavesdropping satellite which would have listened in on military and government communications in global hotspots such as the Middle East, India and Pakistan, and China. Together, the rocket and the satellite, reportedly code-named Vortex, were believed to have cost about $1bn (pounds 620,000).
The 20-story rocket was laden with nearly 500,000lbs of highly toxic fuel. But the USAF said there was no danger to nearby residents, as fumes blew out to sea and dispersed.
Under launch rules, the air force does not launch Titans if there is any chance that propellants could be blown towards populated areas in the event of an accident. A similar satellite was launched in May, also on a Titan rocket.
The last Titan 4 rocket explosion was at Vandenberg air force base in California in August 1993. The Titan 4A that blew up yesterday was the last of that model scheduled for launch. The air force last year introduced an improved version of the rocket, also made by Lockheed Martin.

It's All About JOBS, Stupid! Not My Uterus!
If you are like me, you've been receiving multiple action alerts from women's groups and democratic leaders on a daily basis the past 2-3 weeks about the GOP assault on women. The purpose of this post is to simply layout the pieces and intentions of the GOP's attacks on American women, and What YOU Can DO About It!
So much for the November 2010 Election platform of "Jobs, Jobs, Jobs" . . . because it seems that all the GOP has been doing since taking control of the House in January is attempt to chip away at my right to reproductive choice, privacy and health services. And boy have they been busy – in the past month 4 bills have been introduced that cut funding and restrict women's access to vital programs that support women and families.
1) H.R. 3—the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act – This is the infamous bill introduced by Chris Smith (R-NJ) that would make it illegal for even private insurance companies to offer health coverage for abortion. But, thats not all – it also takes things a thousand steps further by redefining the term RAPE, by only allowing victims who are subjected to "forcible rape" to have access to abortion services. I don't know about you, but last I checked no means no, and rape is rape, plain and simple. So congress has decided if the victim of a rape is drugged, mentally handicapped, under age (statutory) or a victim of incest its not "really rape" because it wasn't "forced." Now when people started speaking out and putting the pressure on – the GOP said they'd remove that language from the bill. But, surprise, surprise as of today the "forcible rape" language is still there and the bill has over 163 sponsors.
TAKE ACTION by Signing this Petition Against H.R.3 : http://boehnersamerica.org/splash/signup/splash01/
And enjoy this Daily Show Clip on the "forcible rape" language . . .
2) The Pence Bill or H.R. 217, the "Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act" - Introduced by Mike Pence, this bill's only goal is to restrict Planned Parenthood from receiving Federal funds for family planning services that have helped millions of women by providing access to basic reproductive healthcare. With over 160 GOP sponsors the bill plans on cutting more than $70 million in funds provided by the federal government, that often go to serve those women who can normally not afford basic medical care. The majority of Planned Parenthood funding doesn't go towards abortion, but to health services like annual GYN check-ups, birth control, and STI/STD testing.
TAKE ACTION against "The Pence Bill" and cuts to Planned Parenthood funding by calling (202) 730-9001 for the Congressional switch board or get patched through to your Congressman HERE.
3) H.R. 358, the "Protect Life Act – Introduced by Joe Pitts (R-PA), this bill would not only prohibit federal funding for abortions under the national health-care law, it would also allow doctors and hospitals to refuse to perform any abortion, even if it was needed to save the life of a pregnant woman
*The only TAKE ACTION alert I could find for this bill was from the Catholic Advocate
UPDATE 2/16/2011 – NARAL has created an online petition against both H.R. 358 & H.R. 3 – So Please TAKE ACTION: http://www.prochoiceamerica.org/get-involved/stupak-on-steroids/call-rep-021611.html
4) The Continuing Resolution for FY 2011 – proposed by House Republican leaders, according to the National Women's Law Center (NWLC)
- Eliminates the Title X family planning programs that provide funding for contraception and other preventive care to over five million women and men each year
- Cuts Head Start and child care for 368,000 children
- Cuts millions from nutrition programs for pregnant women and their children
- Cuts funding for prenatal care
- Eliminates funding for the Women's Educational Equity Program that helps schools comply with Title IX
- Cuts funding for Pell grants, which help low-income women afford college, by more than $800 per student
- Cuts funding needed to keep Social Security offices open and for meals, housing, and other supports for elderly women
TAKE ACTION Against "Continuing Resolution for FY2011′s" Drastic Cuts to services for Women and Girls by Signing this Petition!
Make no mistake, this is a full assault against women! Make sure you take action against each of these attempts to limit women's access to vital services and programs. The only "jobs" bill the GOP leadership has introduced was the "Repeal of the Job Killing Healthcare Law" which as studies and numerous statistics have already proven actually decreases the deficit and definitely does not "kill" any jobs. In fact, the new "Affordable Care Act" has already helped thousands of my generation who are unemployed and now allowed to stay on their parents health insurance until the age of 26.
The GOP claims to be acting on a "mandate" from the people – but, the majority of Americans when asked about specific provisions within the "Affordable Care Act" overwhelmingly support the new law. Meanwhile, the majority of Americans also respect and support a woman's right to choose – yet it appears that the GOP is allowing the conservative minority dictate their actions and could care less about the needs of the American people.
We are paying attention and we don't like what we see! As clearly stated in MoveOn's most recent ad against these malicious attacks on Women & Girls – We Will Never Go Back!choice, Continuing Resolution for FY 2011, Daily ShowFamily Planning, forcible rape, funds, GOP, H.R. 358, HR3, Moveon.org, NARAL, No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, NOW, NWLC, Pence BillPlanned Parenthood, Pro-choiceProtect Life Act, rapeRep.

MC Council tweaks redistricting plan
By: JAMES A. ROBICHAUX
MORGAN CITY — Moving the boundaries of city council districts — and therefore moving some Morgan City residents into different districts — was the subject of a public meeting last night at the city auditorium.
Consulting demographer Mike Hefner of Geographic Planning & Demographic Services LLC reviewed his initial proposal map with city council members, who discussed and made small changes they thought would be least disruptive to current constituents.
The overriding issue discussed in the meeting was that of maintaining a majority black population in District 3, as required by the Section 5 rule of the US Department of Justice, from the demographics from the 2000 census to the 2010 census.
"I've been working it quite a bit the last couple of weeks trying to figure out what combination of blocks of moving whites out and blacks in that might get our numbers up, but it's not really fitting very well," Hefner said. "What you think might pick up minority population is not picking up enough minority population to offset the non-minority population you're picking up in the meantime."
If a municipality or a parish has a pre-existing majority-minority district, the Justice Department requires that it be maintained when redistricting, even if it fails to meet 5 percent deviation in overall population that is otherwise mandated as absolute when drawing congressional districts. Limited geography for small municipalities makes maintaining such deviation limits more difficult. Therefore, Hefner said, the law allows more elasticity for population deviation when drawing local council districts.
Hefner presented his findings at the meeting Tuesday for council members and the public to offer input and suggest changes.
"I'm not one that develops a plan and says, 'This is the plan, this is the only plan, this is the only thing you're going to do.' I'd rather us all come to the conclusion together," he said.
"That's one reason why I don't come and just stick it in your face and say, 'Hey, it's got to be this or nothing.' So, the meeting tonight is to show you what the issues are, show you the problems we're running into, and see if we can't collectively come up with some ways to try to address the situation. If that's the best we can do, at least we know that that's the best we can do."
One of the many changes suggested at the meeting was transferring the areas bound by Redwood and Cottonwood streets between Bernice Street and La. 182 into District 4, though some councilmen saw a problem in that idea.
"There are people on Bernice Street who have been very, very loyal, and I would hate to get some flak from them," District 3 Councilman Ron Bias said.
Most of his fellow councilmen seemed to agree, noting that those residents had been transferred into District 3 after the 2000 census.
"What we're going to do for the meeting coming up on April 24 is, I'll have an introductory ordinance, and I'll also have a set of maps. The maps we're going to send out ahead of time, and the city's going to post them on its website," he said.
Hefner said the council should introduce an ordinance at the April 24 meeting, if the map meets its approval, then have another public hearing at the May meeting. Then, with no objection, the city will adopt the ordinance, and Hefner will submit it to the Department of Justice.
"We have to get Justice Department approval before the plan can go into effect. We have to have it by early August," Hefner said.
City elections are slated for the fall.

OK, let's make nails with heads (as we say over here). Please make this split on the Cayenne side. I can then get that new project via SVN. Afterwards I will upload the source into our own SVN (and keep everything under the ASL) and will work on that version. I will do the same with the dvmodeler. We can then send patches back to Cayenne relatively easy making a diff between the two repositories.

"I like this vintage style Santa graphic, but I read that the designer used a cutting machine to cut a red vinyl decal to afix to the cream painted wood board. I don't know what kind of cutting machine she is talking about and I wonder how pricey it is? I'd like an alternative to getting that Santa on there."
"This wall decor is very chic with any message you write on it! And it couldn't be easier. However, another option to using foam core board would be to actually buy an old thrift store bulletin board and spray paint it black. I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"

These free St. Patrick's Day crafts from Amanda Formaro make great homemade gifts. Make a pot of gold card to give to your favorite Irishman this year to celebrate the holiday.
- 5"x7" piece of light green card stock or construction paper
- black construction paper or card stock
- tan, yellow or gold construction paper or card stock
- scissors
- white craft glue
- construction paper OR patterned card stock papers in the following colors or shades: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple
- Pattern
- Fold 5"x7" light green card stock in half to create the card. Use the pattern to cut out all the necessary pieces from colored papers.
- Glue the rainbow pieces in place first. Next glue on the black pot, then the band for the pot. Finally glue on the "pieces of gold".
- Variations: Instead of card stock for the band, you can use a gold glitter. Another idea is to add little dots of gold glitter to the "pieces of gold" in the pot.
Note: Don't buy sheets and sheets of expensive papers. We used Sizzix brand paper pads, known as Little Sizzles. We used papers from both the Pastels (40-0014) pad and the Watercolors (40-0015) pad. These pads can be found in the scrapbooking aisle of your local craft store. Ours cost $4.99 per pad, each pad has 4 sheets of each solid cardstock, 3 sheets of each pattern paper, there are 80 acid free sheets total per pad. These papers were made for the Sizzix Die Cutting Machine. We have used these pads for many different projects, including our Charming Valentine Greeting Cards, our Quilted Keepsake Box, as well as our Decoupage Coin Banks.

Norway boss Per-Mathias Hogmo has suggested that Group H qualifying alongside Italy, Croatia and Bulgaria could be tight.
The four nations have been drawn together for the qualification phase for Euro 2016, alongside Malta and Azerbaijan.
"The draw could have been better for us, [but] it could have been worse," Norway Coach Hogmo has considered after the draw.
"Croatia are among the strongest sides from the second level. It's an exciting group, which I think will be quite tight."

You Deserve a Drink Deluxe
Boozy Misadventures and Tales of Debauchery
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • "Hart is a pull-no-punches comedian with a talent for self-deprecation in the guise of self-aggrandizement, a winning formula." –The New York Times
Mamrie Hart is a drinking star with a Youtube problem. With over a million subscribers to her cult-hit video series "You Deserve a Drink," Hart has been entertaining viewers with a combination of tasty libations and raunchy puns since 2011. Hart also co-wrote/co-starred in Dirty Thirty and Camp Takota with Grace Helbig and Hannah Hart.
Finally, Hart has compiled her best drinking stories—and worst hangovers—into one hilarious volume. From the spring break where she and her girlfriends avoided tan lines by staying at an all-male gay nudist resort, to the bachelorette party where she accidentally hired a sixty-year-old meth head to teach the group pole dancing (not to mention the time she lit herself on fire during a Flaming Lips concert), Hart accompanies each story with an original cocktail recipe, ensuring that You Deserve a Drink is as educational as it is entertaining.
With cameos from familiar friends from the YouTube scene and a foreword by Grace Helbig, this glimpse into Hart's life brings warmth and humor to the woman fans know and love. And for readers who haven't met Mamrie yet—take a warm-up shot and break out the cocktail shaker: you're going to need a drink.
Eric Michael Pearson
Modeling is tough.
To get ready for this shoot,
I didn't eat for, like, two and
a half hours.
One humid summer night in Austin, Texas, Mamrie Hart and I spent an hour drunkenly arguing and openly crying on the street while...
–The New York Times
"My Mom and I had Mamrie on IN BED WITH JOAN and we absolutely fell in love with her! She carries her wit in the palm of her hand, usually along with a delicious cocktail. In this book, Mamrie breaks into hilarious as easily as she drops into poignant. A girl who holds the torch for all the funny and smart ladies out there!"
–Melissa Rivers
"I loved this book. Mamrie Hart is hilariously brilliant, and really puts things in perspective with You Deserve a Drink. Specifically that I do deserve a drink. And the only person I feel like having one with right now is her."
–Judy Greer, actress and author of I Don't Know What You Know Me From: Confessions of a Co-Star
"You know that voice you have inside that tells you not to do certain things because they are reckless, embarrassing, or socially unacceptable? Mamrie Hart does not have that voice. She does it all and tells it all in You Deserve a Drink."
–Rachel Dratch, SNL alum, author of Girl Walks Into a Bar
"This book is way better than my book."
–Hannah Hart, New York Times bestselling author of My Drunk Kitchen
"You Deserve a Drink is like a night out with Mamrie Hart: charmingly weird & hilariously memorable. All that's missing is the hangover."
–Tyler Oakley, Youtube star
–NY Magazine's Approval Matrix
"An entirely hilarious read that will delight her current fans...and entice new readers who have enjoyed recent books by other humor heavy-hitters (Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Mindy Kaling)."
"Sassy, foul-mouthed, funny and fearless...I like this book so much I can't decide whom to loan it to first."
–Raleigh News & Observer

The Thanksgiving Table features recipes and tips that will make your holiday celebration one to be remembered. This recipe, Sautéed Green Beans with Shallot Crisps, is a perfect accompaniment to a Roast Turkey Breast for a Small Gathering.
Serves 8-10
My grandmother never knew I was the culprit; she never caught me red-handed, snitching the canned french-fried onions off the top of the green-bean bake she made every Thanksgiving. But every year, most of those crisp onions disappeared before anyone began filling a plate from the buffet table. That was some thirty-five years ago. Now that I'm at the helm when it comes to cooking Thanksgiving dinner, I've updated that classic recipe.
I still love crisp onions, green beans have always been a favorite vegetable, and the combination is a natural. So, in my pursuit of using fresh vegetables whenever possible, I offer this modern version of the green-bean bake. Keep your eye on the buffet table, though, because these shallot crisps are mighty good.
Shallot Crisps
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots (about 5 to 6 shallots)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds green beans, trimmed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
To Make Shallot Crisps
Set a plate lined with a double thickness of paper towels next to the stove. Heat the vegetable oil in a 6-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. (Test the temperature of the oil by adding 1 slice of shallot to the hot oil. If the oil begins to bubble and sizzle without splattering, and the shallot turns golden, then the oil is ready.) Using a slotted spoon, add half of the shallots to the oil. Fry until they are crisp and turn a dark golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining shallots. Set aside at room temperature until ready to garnish the beans. The shallot crisps can be made several hours ahead.
To Sauté the Beans
Heat a 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil, swirl to coat the pan, and then add the green beans. Sauté, stirring frequently, until the beans are bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the beans to a warmed serving bowl and garnish with the shallot crisps. Serve immediately.

The more Billy Davies protests that his Nottingham Forest side are not ready to play in the Premier League next season, the more determined they appear to be there regardless. When defeat at their local rivals Derby prefaced a run of three reverses in four matches their manager seemed to have a point, blaming tired legs and a lack of selection alternatives.
But after two gritty single-goal wins in five days they are back in the top two in the Championship and, barring a spectacular collapse, Davies will have to come to terms with being in the play-offs at least.
Gordon Strachan felt his side deserved not to lose but Forest came up with a resilience that Davies was right to highlight, particularly in defence, where Kelvin Wilson and Wes Morgan were outstanding. Though Middlesbrough had the greater share of possession, it was not until deep into the second half that they were able to test Forest's goalkeeper, Lee Camp.
Forest's ninth consecutive home win equalled the club record for a single season – Brian Clough's team won 12 in a row across two campaigns in 1980 – but Davies was just as excited at keeping a clean sheet.
"The way we defended, given the age of the players and the situation we find ourselves in, with 18 fit players, against a team just down from the Premier League, that shows you how far we have come," Davies said.
For long periods Forest were forced on the back foot, but their strength is their capacity to strike on the break and their goal was typical of their repertoire. Wilson's ball from the back found Dexter Blackstock, who set Radoslav Majewski on a run before taking the ball back as Forest rapidly turned defence into dangerous attack.
Chris Cohen, who had found the net earlier only to be denied by an offside flag, appeared as the overlapping runner on the right, and when Blackstock's pass set him up to shoot, he found a decisive finish. Camp came to Forest's rescue twice in the closing stages, pulling off an outstanding save to deflect a shot from Leroy Lita round his left-hand post, then keeping out a header from Emanuel Pogatetz with equal dexterity.

The biggest name left on the NFL free agent market is now a member of the New York Jets.
Former Titans RB Chris Johnson reached agreement with Jets on a two-year deal, per league sources.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 16, 2014
Johnson has hit the 1,000-yard marker in each season of his six-year career, rushing for 1,077 yards and six touchdowns in 2013. The once 2,000-yard back has definitely dropped in production over the past few seasons. After averaging 1,533 yards and 11 touchdowns in his first three NFL seasons, Johnson has posted averages of just 1,122 yards and five touchdowns in the three years since.
He's still productive, but it's pretty clear he's not the back he was his first few years in the league.
Johnson, though, would provide help for the Jets, who need a speed back coming out of the backfield. Chris Ivory had a solid season in 2013. So did Bilal Powell. But neither of those guys is a breakaway thread. Neither is going to outrun safeties. Johnson, though, can still do that.
Let's remember that while he has been worse, it's not like Johnson has been bad. He's just more of a situational back now, a speed back who can catch passes, as well. He'll join a Jets offense that already brought in Eric Decker and Michael Vick this offseason. Terms of the deal weren't immediately available.

Forecasting Accuracy, Rational Expectations And Market Efficiency In The Us Beef Cattle Industry
Recent studies have tested whether futures prices respond to U.S. Department of Agriculture inventory reports in accordance with the efficient markets hypothesis. These studies use survey forecasts to identify the anticipated and unanticipated information contained in a report. However, this approach implicitly assumes that survey forecasts be an unbiased and efficient predictor of the data in the USDA report. Furthermore, previous studies have not tested the bias and efficiency properties of USDA preliminary estimates as predictors of final revised USDA figures. This study introduces a framework for conducting tests of the efficient markets hypothesis in the presence of biased and inefficient survey forecasts, and preliminary USDA estimates that are biased and inefficient predictors of final revised figures. The approach is applied to the US beef cattle industry and results are quite different from those obtained using conventional analysis.

The Eagle Nebula (M16): Peering Into the Pillars of Creation (A nearby star-forming region about 7,000 light years from Earth.)
Description: A composite image of the Eagle Nebula (M16) with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope penetrates the dark columns of gas and dust to reveal how much star formation is happening there. The Chandra data (red, green, and blue represent low, medium, and high-energy X-rays respectively) show very few X-ray sources in the so-called "Pillars of Creation" themselves. This indicates that star formation peaked in this region several million years ago.
Creator/Photographer: Chandra X-ray Observatory
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, which was launched and deployed by Space Shuttle Columbia on July 23, 1999, is the most sophisticated X-ray observatory built to date. The mirrors on Chandra are the largest, most precisely shaped and aligned, and smoothest mirrors ever constructed. Chandra is helping scientists better understand the hot, turbulent regions of space and answer fundamental questions about origin, evolution, and destiny of the Universe. The images Chandra makes are twenty-five times sharper than the best previous X-ray telescope. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., manages the Chandra program for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory controls Chandra science and flight operations from the Chandra X-ray Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I would think 4 would have the highest surface tension because you have three OH groups and that will provide more opportunities for hydrogen bond formation. With that in mind, note that #3 has two OH groups, #2 has 1 OH group, and #1 has no OH groups.
rank in order of most oh groups to least that will be the same as highest surface tension to lowest
4,3,2,1 is the right answer the more OH group the highest surface tension.

Grey skies and cold rain made for an unpleasant December commute. Alexander Valtam grumbled to himself as he dismounted his motorcycle in the parking lot of the low slung brown office building where he worked. He pulled on the door of the building only to find it locked. He fumbled in his pocket for the key card and swiped his way into the lobby.
The building was full of small tech firms and consulting agencies. Most were staffed by only a few people. That left the building empty as Christmas approached, with the independent firms taking time off for the holidays. Alexander walked down the hallway passing various small logos and nameplates of neighboring firms until he reached his office. The door sign read "Fortunato Thaumaturgical and Transhuman Consulting" in bold letters, with "G. Fortunato, Th. D." below it. The "G" stood for Gretchen, his boss, who was currently out of town attending a professional convention. For magicians that meant it would be high on the hoity-toit and posturing with at least two magical duels to the death.
Alexander was the only member of the four person staff that was going to be in the office for the next two weeks. The secretary was only part time, and the intern had gone home for the holidays. That left him to check up on their few regular clients. Most were basic magical security jobs. Some of the work was local geomantic forecasting for the farm bureau. The rest were one-off information requests sent in by the DNR or local government. Alexander was no wizard, but he knew more than enough to handle the small stuff.

Global Operations Survey
Our Global Operations Survey shows that leading companies are reimagining operations.
As market conditions shift and competitive pressures intensify, so companies have to adopt new strategies. That, in turn, means they need new operational models to accommodate these new plans.
But rising volatility and business complexity have recently made operational transformation much more difficult. And, as another three billion consumers join the global middle class in the next few decades – straining far-flung supply chains –conventional operational models will come under increasing strain.
In a perfect world, a company's day-to-day operations are managed for peak performance, so that it maximises its profits while minimising its risks, costs and losses. But in the real world management must make constant trade-offs in the risk-cost-loss equation, if it's to keep the company's operational infrastructure aligned with its current strategy. To strike the right balance, management must be crystal clear about its operational goals and develop key performance metrics that will enable it to manage those operations within well-defined tolerances.
What does this mean for your business?
Companies in a wide range of manufacturing and service industries are reshaping their operations to make them more agile, flexible and responsive to changing market conditions. That's no easy task.
Over the past decade, most manufacturers have generated major business benefits by reducing operational waste, variability and inflexibility. But many companies have been unable to build on these gains because they haven't developed team leaders who can do three things: continuously identify and make efficiency improvements; align the corporate vision with activity on the shop floor; and demonstrate the technical and interpersonal skills that will help establish a lasting culture of operational excellence.
Creating an agile operation in the services sector is an even bigger challenge. In factories, idle workers and stacks of inventory provide clear signals that an operation is poorly designed. In service operations, by contrast, it's often difficult to identify waste and inefficiency. Management may be aware of operational problems without being able to define them in detail, let alone design ways to correct them. Yet failure to understand how well its operations are functioning can be fatal to a service provider.

In real time, this playthrough takes 13 minutes, 17 seconds. Sped up in the .gif above, it's 2:06. It's the amazing solution to a version of Snake, a genre of casual game going back almost 40 years, so old its original form is all but lost to memory. Advertisement This .gif hit a Russian message board about three days ago and went viral thanks to Reddit and imgur yesterday. The snake consumes 100 pellets exactly, increasing its length to 801 blocks, which is one block more than the cage can hold. Thus, this is a game that ends with a kill screen.Watching it play out, I thought someone had written a bot that either forced the game to put pellets in optimal locations, or predicted where they would pop up, or directed the snake on the longest route to it (to avoid running into its tail). Slowed down, though, it appears to be a solution executed by a human player. Advertisement A mesmerizing game of Snake [GIF]Reply80 repliesLeave a reply

"I can ID the leaves and the little ripples, the buds and the flower up at the top," Ellen Rubin, an accessibility consultant, tells me over the phone from the library of CUNY's Baruch College in New York. "For me, it seems quite busy because of all the background dots."
Rubin, who has been legally blind since the age of 17, is describing Van Gogh's Irises as she runs her fingers over a reproduction of the masterpiece. Created by Verus Art, a company that specializes in 3-D scanning and digital reproduction technology for fine art painting, the painting was made using the company's 3-D scanning technology and an elevated color printing process. In collaboration with the National Gallery in Canada, the company is recreating a select group of paintings that will be used by the museum to make its collection more accessible to the vision impaired.
It's part of a larger effort in recent years from museums that want to make their art accessible to the visually impaired. The Louvre was one of the first museums to set up a permanent gallery specifically for the visually impaired, opening its Tactile Gallery, where visitors can touch reproductions of art from its collection, in 1995. Since then, other museums have made accessibility for the blind a priority, too: the Denver Art Museum, Madrid's Museo del Prado, and Florence's Uffizi Gallery all have exhibitions that include touchable artworks. Meanwhile, the Museo Nacional de San Carlos in Mexico City also pioneered a concept of using collage to reproduce paintings that can be touched, according to the New York Times.
Though Rubin has been a frequent museum visitor all her life and now often works as a consultant to museums for their vision impaired programs, this is the first opportunity she's had to experience Irises. When I asked her for her initial reaction, she said that it's hard to get a sense of the painting as a whole. "I started from the top and moved to the bottom, so it takes a while before you can understand the whole thing," she says. In general, paintings with a sharper contrast between the background and the subject, or distinct outlines around various features of the painting, are easier to take in. "But it wasn't a drawback to the experience," she says even-handedly. "It's very impressive to touch a Van Gogh."
Verus creates the reproductions by carefully scanning the original artwork using a 3-D scanning technology they developed in-house. In Vancouver, where Verus is based, preservation specialists working for the company review the digital copy to ensure the reproduction accurately represents the color, texture, and brushstrokes of the original. The digital file is then sent to Holland, where Océ, a printing company owned by Canon, prints the painting in hundreds of layers to create a 3-D replica.
Rubin says she has touched tactile paintings like Verus's before, but has never experienced the same painting made with two different technologies, making it hard to compare. Generally, she says, more detailed paintings are a bit harder to make out, and an accurate representation of color is important, since most people who are legally blind can perceive some color. In New York, she's been to the Metropolitan Museum, the Whitney, and MoMA, among others, for activities or exhibitions for blind visitors, including guided tours and "touch" workshops, in which they can can feel sculptures—usually with gloves on. She wants to visit Madrid's Museo del Prado, which has created 3-D reproductions of six famous paintings—including Goya's "The Parasol" and "Apollo in the Forge of Vulcan" by Velázquez—in collaboration with the Spanish 3-D printing company Estudios Durero.
Like Verus Art, Estudios Durero uses sophisticated 3-D scanning technology and a relief painting method to create extremely precise copies of paintings that can be experienced through touch. The accuracy that these companies offer is a major step forward technologically, but it's also a costly investment for museums. Verus Art's copy of Irises, for example, goes for $3,495 on its website (through its partnership with the National Gallery, the company will create reproductions of select paintings in the museums collection, both for exhibit in the museum and to sell commercially).
Though the expense means museums have to be selective about which works they reproduce, there's reason to believe 3-D copies of paintings will become more widespread—Verus Art is currently in talks with other museums about the possibility of using the technology as a part of more educational programs in the future.
