Skullcandy used to be a fashion statement—although that statement seemed to say "I'm a loud teenager!" This headphone mainstay was flashy and heavy on neon. But in the past few years, consumers have been drawn to high-end competitors with signature sounds (such as the bass-heavy Beats by Dr. Dre), and Skullcandy realized its product was all show. So it built an in-house engineering team—previously, all this work was farmed out—to maximize airflow and enrich the audio. The new line now boasts a branded Supreme Sound. "We've strengthened the diaphragm of the headphone to smooth out high frequencies," says chief merchandising officer Dan Levine. In a market catering to audio geeks, he wants Skullcandy's statement to be heard, not just seen. ($150, skullcandy.com)

"Sarah fouled her own nest, and I can't understand why. I hate to think it was simply greed or ambition."I'll tell you what it is: Stupidity. Or perhaps better stated as ignorance. It's a blind faith in some bullshit somebody tries to pass as "free market." But, how is it really a free market when we have state and federal taxpayers funding the highways and overpasses below.
Expenditures at a time where Alaska isn't exactly the wealthiest state in the world and beyond that, we are discovering that we are too poor for expansive spatial relationships between home and work, you to me, me to goods, etc. Distances only exacerbated by incredibly expensive and physically corrosive highways and interchanges.
Let's take a look at Wasilla shall we?
This has been covered ad nauseum, but still important, Wasilla is a town of 9,780 people. Half of which are apparently on Meth because it is such a miserable place. I quote again from the previous article:
The two lakes are the town jewels, the only eye relief along a harrowing corridor of strip malls, big-box stores and fast-food drive-throughs that is Wasilla. "Lord, help me get through Wasilla," reads one Alaska bumper sticker.Unfortunately, Google Earth only has decent photography of the edges of Wasilla, not the thriving downtown that we've told has been completely gutted for auto-centric, and ultimately very ephemoral auto-oriented nameless, placeless, and faceless, strip center style development.
Each of these pictures comes from within 6 miles of "downtown" Wasilla, if there still is such a thing, but based on the aerial, still within the boundary of suburban expansion.
The first, and closest to downtown. Keep in mind, all of these interchanges, pricing I would guess, in the 8- to 9-figure range times four. Nine thousand, seven hundred and eighty people. This one is still under construction. Whole lot of bang for their buck the taxpayers of Alaska are getting: a gas station, strip center, and two big box stores that will be empty within ten years.
Next. Somebody please tell me the purpose of this interchange? So the five people that live along it don't have to drive 1 mile to the next one?
Talk about bridge to nowhere?! Here is an interchange and overpass that stops. ON BOTH SIDES. Sure, it is intended to go further into the hyper-population explosion that is the metropolis of Wasilla. 9,780. This bridge alone probably cost about $25 million dollars. That's about 35 million Euros if you're scoring at home...or even if you're alone.
Last, and I can give a pass to this one because it is the intersection of the Glen Highway and the Parks Highway, but the question remains: Why does 9,780 people need a fully built out highway?
I'm certain some engineering firm was paid handsomely, a few big box developers swindled the city, state, and any federal assistance that joined the party, and retail dollars from the few wallets not dedicated to meth in Wasilla, get sucked in the middle of the night to Bentonville, AK, further impoverishing the people.
Temporary ones. Ones that leave as well. This is the small mindset of the current Republican party: handouts to the road lobby for the sake of short-term growth with no mind for the long-term consequences.
As I've stated before, I'm working on a paper regarding how transportation policy needs to follow more of an economic mindset. And that is, to focus on the return on investment, the big picture return, in terms of the type, quality, and sustainability of the development that various transportation types and designs create.
Because development is always a reaction to the form transportation takes. Ugly road: turn your back on it, put a parking lot in front, and a wall in the back.
Hopefully, we can prevent other towns from succumbing to Palin's "small town" values of turning over the keys to the quality of life of the residents and taxpayers to every special interest with their hand out.

It should come as no surprise that Israel's permanent military occupation has caused Palestinians to respond with individual acts of desperation.
While Israelis water their lawns and swim in Olympic-sized pools, Palestinians a few kilometers away are literally dying of thirst.
Our own progress against racism in the United States remains too recent, too fragile, and too incomplete to go on abetting apartheid in Israel.

If Obama wants a say in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, he needs to be prepared to back up his words with actions.
Israel showed bad faith in rearresting a man exchanged for Gilad Shalit -- and worse faith by holding him in administrative detention.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Open sesame!
We are always thinking (ok, obsessing) about unique, beneficial and all natural balm combos. Decidedly, we took a challenge; to create balms based on basic Ayurvedic Dosha principles.* Ayurvedic who? Dosha what? Hurraw is lucky to have an Ayurvedic practitioner on staff so bear with us here. Talk about obsessed! After two years of diligently formulating our asanas off, satisfaction arose.
We infuse rich, cold pressed organic sesame seed oil with plants, fruits and roots known to compliment each Dosha. We melt in our creamy raw organic coconut oil, rich raw organic cacao butter and emollient cold pressed organic castor oil. We mingle in a trio of flavors from pure essential oils and all natural flavor extracts to create a unique, long lasting, very nourishing lip balm.
Kapha balm:
An infusion of tulsi leaf.
Invigorating and zesty grapefruit subtly melds with stimulating eucalyptus while fresh ginger gives a bit of warmth.
Other Ingredients

Ordered over 21 lip balms on here. It smells as described and long lasting. Moist, smooth to apply. A bit shiny but not oily, waxy nor sticky. Suitable for OZ spring
Amazing balm!
Posted by Reviewer3100864 on Nov 20, 2016
I love the Hurraw balms! They are rich and creamy without feeling sticky on the lips. Medium staying power, but my lips feels soft long after the balm is gone. The smell of this one is quite interesting, booth fresh and spicy.
Easier to buy
Posted by 4839018474728547600 on Oct 18, 2016
Because I wanted my daughter to use natural products I started making lip balms myself. They were successful, but then I stumbled upon Hurraw and given that they consist of natural ingredients it is so much easier just to buy. Besides I couldn't compete with their range of flavours.

Looks indeed like a regression from bug 666446, especially given the m-i regression range from comment 2.
The stack in comment 0's crash report has frame-destruction code calling into image code, which calls into more layout code (which possibly assumes our frames _aren't_ being destroyed, and triggers the crash as a result).

Yes, I was working on a crashtest to verify that this doesn't happen in the future, but the site's toolkit is taking too long for me to understand what's going on. So, I'll push this patch in a few minutes and write another bug to create a crashtest.

Yes, 16 x 16 would by 4800 x 4800 at 300 PPI.
I think you've nailed the primary issue. It started with the addition of trousers. I'm not going to complain because of the extremely high quality of the trousers...seriously folks, I will not buy trousers/pants off the rack anymore.
I was shocked that they had added and taken so much in about 2 or 3 monts time. They've gone from a shirtmaker to a full range bespoke clothing maker. That's quite a leap and I don't think they have competition in that regard. They need a whole new website in my opinion and the back room processes to accompany it.
We do not really save measurements, we instead save your shirt in the form of a real pattern made of thick cardboard paper, with your details written on it.
The idea is to save it for life and be able to provide the same exact fit shirt after shirt, year after year, if you so desire.
But, if you would like the measurements, we can provide that as well.

AAA Questions Disparity in Buffalo Gas Prices
AAA Questions Disparity in Buffalo Gas Prices
Prices falling but not fast enough
BUFFALO, N.Y., June 14, 2012 — On behalf of its 860,000 member motorists, AAA Western and Central New York is questioning the price of gas prices in the Buffalo-Niagara Region. Despite decreasing in recent weeks, prices in Buffalo are still nine to sixteen cents higher than the neighboring Upstate markets of Rochester, Syracuse and Albany.
Today's daily average for self-serve regular unleaded in Buffalo is $3.79, a decrease of 19 cents in the past month. The average in Rochester is $ 3.70, down 26 cents in one month; Syracuse is at $3.63, down 28 cents; and Albany is at $3.66, down 24 cents.
"While motorists may be pleased to see some relief at the pump in recent weeks, we can't help but question why prices remain higher in the Buffalo area compared to other Upstate cities," said Wally Smith, Vice President of AAA Western and Central New York. "We'd like some answers on behalf of our members and look to the industry to provide an explanation."
It is not uncommon to see some fluctuation between markets and stations within the same market, depending upon how the product is supplied to and priced at the local level. This disparity between Buffalo and other areas of the state has occurred in the past but was not this significant.
As Upstate New York's largest member services organization, AAA provides nearly 880,000 members with travel, insurance, financial and automotive related services. Since its founding in 1900, AAA has been a leading advocate for the safety and security of all travelers. Visit AAA at www.AAA.com.

Against the background of recent methodological debates pitting ethnography against interviewing, this paper offers a defense of the latter and argues for methodological pluralism and pragmatism and against methodological tribalism. Drawing on our own work and on other sources, we discuss some of the strengths and weaknesses of interviewing. We argue that concern over whether attitudes correspond to behavior is an overly narrow and misguided question. Instead we offer that we should instead consider what interviewing and other data gathering techniques are best suited for. In our own work, we suggest, we have used somewhat unusual interviewing techniques to reveal how institutional systems and the construction of social categories, boundaries, and status hierarchies organize social experience. We also point to new methodological challenges, particularly concerning the incorporation of historical and institutional dimensions into interview-based studies. We finally describe fruitful directions for future research, which may result in methodological advances while bringing together the strengths of various data collection techniques.
The Rise and Fall of Human Rights provides a groundbreaking ethnographic investigation of the Palestinian human rights world - its NGOs, activists, and "victims," as well as their politics, training, and discourse - since 1979. Though human rights activity began as a means of struggle against the Israeli occupation, in failing to end the Israeli occupation, protect basic human rights, or establish an accountable Palestinian government, the human rights industry has become the object of cynicism for many Palestinians. But far from indicating apathy, such cynicism generates a productive critique of domestic politics and Western interventionism. This book illuminates the successes and failures of Palestinians' varied engagements with human rights in their quest for independence.
BackgroundWe devised and implemented an innovative Location-Based Household Coding System (LBHCS) appropriate to a densely populated informal settlement in Mumbai, India.
Methods and Findings LBHCS codes were designed to double as unique household identifiers and as walking directions; when an entire community is enumerated, LBHCS codes can be used to identify the number of households located per road (or lane) segment. LBHCS was used in community-wide biometric, mental health, diarrheal disease, and water poverty studies. It also facilitated targeted health interventions by a research team of youth from Mumbai, including intensive door-to-door education of residents, targeted follow-up meetings, and a full census. In addition, LBHCS permitted rapid and low-cost preparation of GIS mapping of all households in the slum, and spatial summation and spatial analysis of survey data.
Conclusion LBHCS was an effective, easy-to-use, affordable approach to household enumeration and re-identification in a densely populated informal settlement where alternative satellite imagery and GPS technologies could not be used.
Is the contemporary Mediterranean zone an urban space? This chapter from the volume Implosions/Explosions reflects on this question through an exploration of recent cartographic evidence compiled from state-of-the-art geospatial datasets created by leading research labs at Columbia University's Earth Institute, the Oak Ridge National Lab, and the European Commission, among others. We begin by considering various representations of concentrated urbanization, with specific reference to traditional indicators such as population (size and density) and the geographical extent of major urban regions. Such representations reveal a thick web of urban development stretching around the Mediterranean zone, albeit mainly in apparently bounded settlement configurations. In a second, more speculative step, we consider several possible representations of extended urbanization, the broad fabric of land uses, infrastructures and sociospatial connectivities that at once facilitate and result from the configuration of dense agglomeration zones. Such maps significantly broaden our understanding of the contemporary urban condition by demonstrating the ways in which the formation of the Mediterranean urban system hinges upon the reorganization of land uses and interspatial connections across the entire continent and beyond. In the early twenty-first century, understanding the "urban" character of the Mediterranean—or any other zone of the earth's surface—requires not only fine-grained empirical data and cartographic sophistication, but systematic theoretical reflexivity regarding the categories being used to classify sociospatial organization.
Foreboding declarations about contemporary urban trends pervade early twenty-first century academic, political and journalistic discourse. Among the most widely recited is the claim that we now live in an 'urban age' because, for the first time in human history, more than half the world's population today purportedly lives within cities. Across otherwise diverse discursive, ideological and locational contexts, the urban age thesis has become a form of doxic common sense around which questions regarding the contemporary global urban condition are framed. This article argues that, despite its long history and its increasingly widespread influence, the urban age thesis is a flawed basis on which to conceptualize world urbanization patterns: it is empirically untenable (a statistical artifact) and theoretically incoherent (a chaotic conception). This critique is framed against the background of postwar attempts to measure the world's urban population, the main methodological and theoretical conundrums of which remain fundamentally unresolved in early twenty-first century urban age discourse. The article concludes by outlining a series of methodological perspectives for an alternative understanding of the contemporary global urban condition.
Living in a highly interdependent world is not an option—but at present, being educated to do so competently is. Despite the many courses and initiatives designed to support international and global education in colleges and universities around the country, the undergraduate curriculum as a whole is not adequately preparing most students to be capable global citizens (see Reimers 2013; National Research Council 2007). Lack of serious commitment to designing a curriculum that prioritizes global learning for all undergraduates has on most campuses made global education a peripheral undertaking, limited primarily to those students and faculty specializing in international area studies. Without leadership to make global education more central to the undergraduate curriculum, global learning will become ever more marginal—with compounding consequences for most college graduates, who will be ill-equipped to live as global citizens.
Bringing global education to the core must begin with deliberation among faculty and administrators about the kinds of competencies graduates should be able to demonstrate, and to what purpose. Imagine, for example, a world where all college graduates understand how their lives are influenced by global processes and events, where they have the motivation and capacity to collaborate with others across national boundaries to advance the well-being of humans and the planet.…
Empires at War, 1911-1923 offers a new perspective on the history of the Great War, looking at the war beyond the generally-accepted 1914-1918 timeline, and as a global war between empires, rather than a European war between nation-states.
The volume expands the story of the war both in time and space to include the violent conflicts that preceded and followed World War I, from the 1911 Italian invasion of Libya to the massive violence that followed the collapse of the Ottoman, Russian, and Austrian empires until 1923. It argues that the traditional focus on the period between August 1914 and November 1918 makes more sense for the victorious western front powers (notably Britain and France), than it does for much of central-eastern and south-eastern Europe or for those colonial troops whose demobilization did not begin in November 1918. The paroxysm of 1914-18 has to be seen in the wider context of armed imperial conflict that began in 1911 and did not end until 1923.
If we take the Great War seriously as a world war, we must, a century after the event, adopt a perspective that does justice more fully to the millions of imperial subjects called upon to defend their imperial governments' interest, to theatres of war that lay far beyond Europe including in Asia and Africa and, more generally, to the wartime roles and experiences of innumerable peoples from outside the European continent. Empires at War also tells the story of the broad, global mobilizations that saw African soldiers and Chinese labourers in the trenches of the Western front, Indian troops in Jerusalem, and the Japanese military occupying Chinese territory. Finally, the volume shows how the war set the stage for the collapse not only of specific empires but of the imperial world order.
His Hiding Place is Darkness explores the uncertainties of faith and love in a pluralistic age. In keeping with his conviction that studying multiple religious traditions intensifies rather than attenuates religious devotion, Francis Clooney's latest work of comparative theology seeks a way beyond today's religious and interreligious uncertainty by pairing a fresh reading of the absence of the beloved in the Biblical Song of Songs with a pioneering study of the same theme in the Holy Word of Mouth (9th century CE), a classic of Hindu mystical poetry rarely studied in the West.
Remarkably, the pairing of these texts is grounded not in a general theory of religion, but in an engagement with two unexpected sources: the theopoetics, theodramatics, and theology of the 20th-century Catholic theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar, and the intensely perceived and written poetry of Pulitzer Prize winner Jorie Graham. How we read and write on religious matters is transformed by this rare combination of voices in what is surely a unique and important contribution to comparative studies and religious hermeneutics.
Joyriding in Riyadh opens a window onto youth culture, revolt and the attempt to maintain order in the Saudi kingdom, where young men use this modern oil-rich urban setting to express the tensions and test the limits of their society. At once a unique look at youth, the city, and the modern kingdom, Pascal Menoret's portrait reflects a first-hand encounter with the modern realities, for young men, of a traditional society having been recently transplanted to the urban grid and its automobile.
Religious Bodies Politic examines the complex relationship between transnational religion and politics through the lens of one cosmopolitan community in Siberia: Buryats, who live in a semiautonomous republic within Russia with a large Buddhist population. Looking at religious transformation among Buryats across changing political economies, Anya Bernstein argues that under conditions of rapid social change—such as those that accompanied the Russian Revolution, the Cold War, and the fall of the Soviet Union—Buryats have used Buddhist "body politics" to articulate their relationship not only with the Russian state, but also with the larger Buddhist world.
Thomas Hobbes laid the theoretical groundwork of the nation-state in Leviathan, his tough-minded treatise of 1651. Leviathan 2.0 updates this classic account to explain how modern statehood took shape between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, before it unraveled into the political uncertainty that persists today.
Modern states were far from immune to the modernizing forces of war, technology, and ideology. From 1845 to 1880, the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Argentina were all reconstituted through territorial violence. Europe witnessed the unification of Germany and Italy, while Asian nations such as Japan tried to mitigate foreign incursions through state-building reforms. A global wave of revolution at the turn of the century pushed the modernization process further in China, Russia, Iran, and Ottoman Turkey. By the late 1930s, with the rise of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, the momentum of history seemed to shift toward war-glorifying totalitarian states. But several variants of the modern state survived World War II: the welfare states of Western democracies; single-party socialist governments; and governments dominated by the military, especially prevalent in Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East.
Toward the end of the twentieth century, all of these forms stood in growing tension with the transformative influences of globalized capitalism. Modern statehood recreated itself in many ways, Charles S. Maier concludes, but finally had to adopt a precarious equilibrium with ever more powerful economic forces.
Advancing the Human Right to Health offers a prospective on the global response to one of the greatest moral, legal, and public health challenges of the 21st century - achieving the human right to health as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and other legal instruments.
Featuring writings by global thought-leaders in the world of health human rights, the book brings clarity to many of the complex clinical, ethical, economic, legal, and socio-cultural questions raised by injury, disease, and deeper determinants of health, such as poverty. Much more than a primer on the right to health, this book features an examination of profound inequalities in health, which have resulted in millions of people condemned to unnecessary suffering and hastened deaths. In so doing, it provides a thoughtful account of the right to health's parameters, strategies on ways in which to achieve it, and discussion of why it is so essential in a 21st century context.
Country-specific case studies provide context for analysing the right to health and assessing whether, and to what extent, this right has influenced critical decision-making that makes a difference in people's lives. Thematic chapters also look at the specific challenges involved in translating the right to health into action.
Advancing the Human Right to Health highlights the urgency to build upon the progress made in securing the right to health for all, offering a timely reminder that all stakeholders must redouble their efforts to advance the human right to health.
Recent decades have seen growing concern about problems of electoral integrity. The most overt malpractices used by rulers include imprisoning dissidents, harassing adversaries, coercing voters, vote-rigging counts, and even blatant disregard for the popular vote. Serious violations of human rights, undermining electoral credibility, are widely condemned by domestic observers and the international community. Recent protests about integrity have mobilized in countries as diverse as Russia, Mexico, and Egypt. Elsewhere minor irregularities are common, exemplified by inaccurate voter registers, maladministration of polling facilities, lack of security in absentee ballots, pro-government media bias, ballot miscounts, and gerrymandering. Long-standing democracies are far from immune to these ills; past problems include the notorious hanging chads in Florida in 2000 and more recent accusations of voter fraud and voter suppression during the Obama-Romney contest.
In response to these developments, there have been growing attempts to analyze flaws in electoral integrity using systematic data from cross-national time-series, forensic analysis, field experiments, case studies, and new instruments monitoring mass and elite perceptions of malpractices. This volume collects essays from international experts who evaluate the robustness, conceptual validity, and reliability of the growing body of evidence. The essays compare alternative approaches and apply these methods to evaluate the quality of elections in several areas, including in the United States, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America.
In Paper Cadavers, an inside account of the astonishing discovery and rescue of Guatemala's secret police archives, Kirsten Weld probes the politics of memory, the wages of the Cold War, and the stakes of historical knowledge production. After Guatemala's bloody thirty-six years of civil war (1960–1996), silence and impunity reigned. That is, until 2005, when human rights investigators stumbled on the archives of the country's National Police, which, at 75 million pages, proved to be the largest trove of secret state records ever found in Latin America.
The unearthing of the archives renewed fierce debates about history, memory, and justice. In Paper Cadavers, Weld explores Guatemala's struggles to manage this avalanche of evidence of past war crimes, providing a firsthand look at how postwar justice activists worked to reconfigure terror archives into implements of social change. Tracing the history of the police files as they were transformed from weapons of counterinsurgency into tools for post-conflict reckoning, Weld sheds light on the country's fraught transition from war to an uneasy peace, reflecting on how societies forget and remember political violence.
In this thought-provoking book, noted China experts from Harvard Business School and the Wharton School assert that while China has experienced remarkable economic growth in recent decades (nearly 10 percent for more than thirty years), it now faces major challenges--tests that could shift the country's political and economic trajectory. A lack of accountability, transparency, and ease of operating in China--combined with growing evidence of high-level corruption--has made domestic and foreign businesspeople increasingly wary of the "China model." These issues have deep roots in Chinese history and the country's political system. Regina M. Abrami of the Wharton School and William C. Kirby and F. Warren McFarlan of Harvard Business School contend that the country's dynamic private sector could be a source of sustainable growth, but it is constrained by political favoritism toward state-owned corporations. Disruptive innovation, research, and development are limited by concerns about intellectual property protection. Most significant of all is the question of China's political future: does a system that has overseen dramatic transformations in recent years now have the capacity to transform itself? Based on a new and popular course taught by the authors at Harvard Business School, this book draws on more than thirty Harvard Business School case studies on Chinese and foreign companies doing business in the region, including Sealed Air, China Merchants Bank, China Mobile, Wanxiang Group, Microsoft, UFIDA, and others. "Can China Lead?" asserts that China is at an inflection point that cannot be ignored. An understanding of the forces that continue to shape its business landscape is crucial to establishing--and maintaining--a successful enterprise in China.
Japan at Nature's Edge is a timely collection of essays that explores the relationship between Japan's history, culture, and physical environment. It greatly expands the focus of previous work on Japanese modernization by examining Japan's role in global environmental transformation and how Japanese ideas have shaped bodies and landscapes over the centuries. The immediacy of Earth's environmental crisis, a predicament highlighted by Japan's March 2011 disaster, brings a sense of urgency to the study of Japan and its global connections.
The work is an environmental history in the broadest sense of the term because it contains writing by environmental anthropologists, a legendary Japanese economist, and scholars of Japanese literature and culture. The editors have brought together an unparalleled assemblage of some of the finest scholars in the field who, rather than treat it in isolation or as a unique cultural community, seek to connect Japan to global environmental currents such as whaling, world fisheries, mountaineering and science, mining and industrial pollution, and relations with nonhuman animals.
The contributors assert the importance of the environment in understanding Japan's history and propose a new balance between nature and culture, one weighted much more heavily on the side of natural legacies. This approach does not discount culture. Instead, it suggests that the Japanese experience of nature, like that of all human beings, is a complex and intimate negotiation between the physical and cultural worlds.

Kony Updates MobileFabric MBaaS, Adds Developer Options
Enterprise mobility platform provider Kony delivers Kony MobileFabric 6.5, with enhanced developer freedom, security and agility.Kony, a provider of enterprise mobility solutions, announced a new release of its Mobile Backend as a Service (MBaaS), Kony MobileFabric 6.5. The new release enables developers to use any open mobile developer framework and tool of their choice to build applications. Also with the new release, developers can take advantage of new API management, Mobile App Management (MAM), analytics and Application Performance Management (APM) services that have been added into this latest back-end mobile infrastructure release, the company said. "IT and app developers alike are often trapped by technological limitations that prevent them from building innovative mobile apps," said Burley Kawasaki, senior vice president of products and strategy at Kony, in a statement. "Kony MobileFabric provides organizations with the best of both worlds – giving the organization the opportunity to innovate at a faster pace with pre-built, enterprise grade backend services without conceding on control needed to keep the business from risk. Developers are free to use any toolset they choose and IT can provide flexibility and security simultaneously." Typically, creating enterprise-class mobile apps requires building and maintaining a lot of custom-built integration code. Kony officials said recent studies they have conducted show that over 40 percent of development projects have custom build backend mobile infrastructure.
However, Kony frees enterprises from this dependence with pre-built components and services. This helps to lower the cost of developing apps. Kony also helps enterprises optimize the customer experience for enterprises by providing better insight into users' mobile usage, user journey and events, engagement and crash analytics. This insight enables them to take action and prevent any disruption to their mobile experience, which is critical to ensuring higher mobile app adoption and satisfaction.

What is organic farming?
The origin of the term organic farming dates back to 1939, when Lord Northbourne first used it in his book Look to the Land, published in 1940, where he described a holistic, ecologically balanced approach to farming, contrary to the already emerging artificial farming [1] that relied in non-natural chemicals that would artificially promote plant growth and rapidly increase farmers benefits.
In order to be considered organic, foods need to be free of artificial food additives, chemicals, pesticides and the like. It goes without saying that Genetically Modified Organisms fall out of the scope of organic food description.

I'd bargain that an increasingly annoying eater of wasted time (there should be some kind of metric for this) involves sitting in front of a typical login screen (take your pick, from online banking to shopping to social networking to blogging to gaming and back around again) while one's face becomes redder and angrier and steamier as a message is returned again and again that says something to the effect of: Sorry, your username and/or password is forgotten and/or lost to the e-winds.
One of my geekier obsessions is content and information aggregation. There should (and likely is) a great solution out there, a simple web-based interface that simply and elegantly gathers all the maelstrom of usernames, passwords, and, well… crap that's needed to get things accomplished online nowadays.
I'll walk through my own personal journey and current (so so) solution with the hope that some cutting edge folk out there know about something better. A perfect comment to this piece, therefore, would be: Haven't you been using flibberjibber.info (or some such), it saved my life back in the day (read = Christmas, 2006), n00b!
Phase One: I tried to remember stuff
This didn't work out so well, as you might imagine.
Phase Two: I tried to write stuff down
This yielded marginally better results, though I ran into the age old problem of having to remember where I wrote stuff down. Since I'm typically online in one of several locations throughout the day, the problem became having to remember where my stuff was written down at any given time.
Phase Three: I got (sort of) organized
Finding 37 Signals was a great help. I used Backpack for a spell as a way to organize lists and information. It worked fairly well, but at the time the interface was a little bit clunky and glitchy (this was back in the spring of '05, so I imagine it's much improved by now), so I abandoned it and slipped back to Phase Two befuddlement for a spell.
In early 2006, I moved onto Basecamp, another 37 Signals product. It's basically very simple project management software, in the best possible sense (anyone familiar with the term chronogram will know what I mean!). The great thing about 37 Signals is that they try to KISS (keep-it-simple-smarty).
So I now use Basecamp's writeboard feature as a general dump for all the URLs (including multiple social networking profiles, work-related login information, blogging software tools, etc.) I need in my day-to-day online experience. No matter what computer I'm in front of, I can easily login to one website (allowing me to simply remember one web address and password instead of dozens!) and gather all of the information I need at any time.
Some things that used to drive me batty are now much easier to deal with. A great example is Wine Country Gift Baskets, an absolutely stellar place to find gifts and quickly ship them to anywhere in the country. However, they force you to provide a unique customer ID of their own choosing that is an eight- or nine-digit number. Basecamp has provided me with a way to continue to utilize this service without losing the last remnants of my sanity.
However, I'm convinced that something better is out there or in the process of being developed. I'd like to be able quickly search the first few letters of "My URLs" (or whatever) to instantly bring up the web address, login information, and password that can aid me in plugging into and out of the wild array of websites and interfaces that make up a typical day online.Powered by Sidelines

Body shock
YOU HAVE to queue up twice to completely experience the Mysteries Of The Human Body exhibition. There's a queue at the entrance and another inside the venue.
The queue inside allows you to see a specimen of a human brain. A sign reads: 'Weigh the brain yourself'. Unlike conventional specimens, the brain was not preserved in formaldehyde or encased in glass; you can hold it in your hands.
I was tempted and joined the queue for the chance to view a real brain.
The brain was warm and moist due to visitors handling it, according to a guard at the site. One woman put a napkin over the brian before taking hold of it.
I wondered if the donor ever imagined how his brain would be toyed with by thousands of visitors.
Co-organised by the Japan Anatomy Laboratory, the show already attracted 2.5 million visitors in Japan last year. Similar exhibitions were said to have been 'very successful' in Germany, the United Kingdom and Korea.
This 'hands-on' approach is all made possible by what is known as plastomic technology, a method that extracts water and injects plastic resins.
If handling the brain upsets you, it's time to go, because the body specimens on display are not like the illustrations seen in biology textbooks.
Suspended by hair-thin wire, one item reveals peeled-off muscles radiated from a specimen that exposes the inner parts of the human body. Another is a skinless corpse vertically cut into halves so visitors can feel their way down from the brain to the intestines. Now I know why people say beauty is only skin-deep.
According to the organisers, all the specimens were donated by individuals specifically for medical, educational and research purposes. However, it has been reported recently that none of the donors had agreed to have their body plastinated.
Wanda Hau Yuet-king, who accompanied her eight-year old daughter to the exhibiton, said the specimens provide a way to better undertstand the human body. 'It is a good way for children to learn about the inner structure.'
However, Pierre Yves Rolin, who only found that they were real bodies upon entering the show, said the presentation of specimens goes beyond the needs of education.
'It's too extravagant,' he said. '[The way it's presented is] more for show than medical purposes,' he said. 'I would rather donate my body for organ transplantation. I have just seen many ladies touching the privates of a male specimen. I don't want my body to end up like that.'
Some students pondered the ribcage of the specimen, perhaps to confirm what they had learnt in text books. But at the same time, when T-shirts are sold with specimens graphically printed on them, you wonder whether the exhibition is designed to shock and the commercial side outweighs the educational message.
Mysteries Of The Human Body will run until February 23 at the Hong Kong Exhibition Centre, China Resources Building, Wan Chai. Admission: $40 for students

As you arrive at the front door of the courthouse of the Alexandria Division of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia ("EDVA"), you are met with a sculpture of a blindfolded Lady Justice bearing the slogan "Justice Delayed is Justice Denied." And believe me, they are not kidding. Resolution of your business dispute will occur at breakneck speed, so be prepared!
Known nationally as the "Rocket Docket," the EDVA resolves cases at a pace roughly twice as fast as that for federal courts nationally; the average time from the filing of a complaint to trial in the EDVA is about 11 months, the fastest in the country.
Many businesses in the Washington, DC metro area that find themselves faced with litigation, especially those that deal with federal government contracts, will have their disputes resolved in the EDVA. This happens either because of the domicile of a party, the fact that the contract was entered into or to be performed in Northern Virginia, or as a result of a venue selection clause in the contract.
Therefore, it is essential for your litigation counsel to be knowledgeable in the practices and procedures in the EDVA, or else your company will be playing an expensive game of "catch-up" and any requests for a break from the hectic schedule set by the Court will likely fall on deaf ears.
How fast is fast? The initial order that allows for the commencement of discovery (when the parties "show their hands" by exchanging written interrogatories, requests for documents and conducting depositions) and it establishes certain other key dates, which are usually issued within 30 days of the time a defendant answers the complaint. The discovery period will also be set at this time, and the period will be limited to 90 or 120 days from the date of the initial order.
The brevity of the discovery period is one of the most startling aspects of practice in the EDVA to "outsiders"; three or four months to complete discovery in a complex business dispute that could involve multiple claims for relief, numerous parties and tens of thousands of documents is in practice very little time, as procrastinating litigants learn to their peril.
Judges in the EDVA are generally not sympathetic to scheduling problems and issues caused by heavy case loads. Unlike as is often the case in state court practice, the parties cannot agree among themselves to extend the discovery deadlines in the EDVA and the dates will not be changed by the judges, absent extraordinary circumstances.
In what is even more alarming to litigants that are used to cases getting bogged down in the courts, the trial of a dispute in the EDVA will be set for four to eight weeks from the final pretrial conference, which usually occurs shortly after the conclusion of discovery. Again, any request to extend the trial date will be met with extreme disfavor by the court.
As a result of the pace of the Rocket Docket, well-prepared EDVA plaintiffs can use the speed of litigation to their advantage by lining up the support for their case, preparing their witnesses and retaining consultants and experts in advance of filing. Oftentimes, defendants faced with EDVA litigation perceive themselves as at a disadvantage from the outset, inasmuch as for those reasons the pace can be seen to favor the plaintiff. By the same token, defendants faced with a claim that is subject to dismissal prior to trial will be able to bring the issues to the court sooner rather than later, and the perennially well-informed bench in the EDVA has a reputation for willingness to summarily dismiss cases in appropriate circumstances.
With apologies to Edison, litigation in the EDVA can be summarized as "one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent preparation." Be mindful of venue selection clauses in your contracts and of the possibility, due to the facts of your situation, of your business dispute landing in the EDVA. If it does, be prepared from the outset for a sprint to the finish line by gathering your documents, preparing any potential witnesses, and aligning yourself with a litigation team that is familiar with the pace and procedures of the "Rocket Docket."

Crop tops, formerly synonymous with the nineties, have returned and it seems like they're here to stay. A well-ingrained staple of spring and summer, they've been seen gracing the streets and the crowds of music festivals. Afraid they might be a bit too baring? Not to worry, we've got you covered.
1 – Pair them with high-waisted bottoms. Because a crop top is so short, a higher waistline allows you to bare a little while still leaving a lot to imagination.
2 – Pair with this season's hottest trend: the midi. The crop top is a perfect way to balance out the midi. The latter with its longer length requires something that's shorter and a little more feisty.
3 – Pair with looser clothing. Crop tops tend to run rather tight. They're form fitting and midriff baring. Balance that out with something that is looser and has more flow–like a maxi skirt, harem pants, or wide-legged pants.
Keep these three tips in mind and you'll be well on your way to rocking this chic trend. Need more style inspiration? Check out our Street Chic board.

With the lowered stance and front splitter, Gotta Have It Street already looked pretty aggressive. We just weren't done. Now we've added a Roush Side Skirt and Rear Splitter.
While quite a few 2010-2013 Mustangs came with fog lights, many of the base or high performance models, like the Boss 302, weren't available with this feature. Enter Starkey Products' new fog light kits, which quickly and easily allow you to add new fog lights.
If you remember, CJ Pony Parts' Gotta Have It Race 2013 Mustang GT reached 11.05 in it's last race of the 2012 season, which means it is required to have a major safety upgrade for the 2013 NMRA racing season: A Roll Bar.
TMI's line of Premium and Sport upholstery has been exceptionally popular with many Mustang owners. However, their new Sport II and Sport R upholstery is even better.
Over time, many versions of the Mustang headlight have been plagued with fading and yellowing of the lenses, creating both cosmetic and potentially major safety issues.
A few weeks ago, we upgraded the interior lighting on a 1967 Mustang coupe, demonstrating how big a difference new, brighter lights can make over the factory's notoriously dim lights. Today, we're showing you how to fix another dim lighting issue: The single bulb taillights on a 1967 Mustang.
