Assuming you haven't obliterated the 2011 political season from your memory -- and truly, who could blame you? -- you may recall that activists were conducting a pair of write-in campaigns on the November ballot.
In the District Attorney's race, advocates for police accountability were waging a somewhat paradoxical "whisper campaign" to write in the name "Jordan Miles." Miles, of course, is the Homewood high-school student accosted and beaten by undercover police back in 2010. Critics have been hoping -- vainly -- that Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala would press criminal charges against the three officers involved. And Zappala was up for re-election -- unopposed -- this year.
Elsewhere on the ballot, environmental activist Dana Dolney and her supporters sought to write in her name in the county executive race. This was a reprise of Dolney's impromptu campaign during the spring Democratic primary; environmentalists were upset that all the major candidates in the race supported drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus shale layer.
So how did these write-in candidates do? Here are the totals, which our very own Chris Young has delivered fresh from the county's Elections Board (which requires a few weeks to tally write-ins):
Jordan Miles: 1,476 write-in votes (out of a total of 3,520 cast)
Dana Dolney: 704 write-in votes (out of total of 1,730 write-ins cast in that race)
On the bright side, the folks behind the Miles effort did garner more support than Republicans bothered to seek. And Dolney improved on her performance in the primary, in which she polled just under 500 votes.
But it's hard to imagine either Zappala, who garnered more than 181,000 votes, or county exec-elect Rich Fitzgerlad (142,000) losing much sleep over that.
I mean, to not capture a majority of the write-in votes, at least? Oof. If you can't garner the "malcontented smart-ass" vote -- which makes up the write-in electorate -- it might be time to rethink your political strategy.
Elsewhere on the interwebs, some pro-choice activists are raising concerns about Siri, the voice-activated iPhone function that caters to its user's every whim.
Well, maybe not every whim. Siri, it seems, can tell you where to find Italian restaurants in North Beach, remind you about appointments or chores you need to do. But when it comes to abortion and reproductive health, advocates worry, the cat seems to have its tongue:
I have heard from others in the women's reproductive health community that Siri is noticeably silent on these issues.
Siri works by reading your speech, translating that into whatever action is necessary -- pulling up a contact's information, adding an appointment to your calendar, or, if information is what the asker is after, pulling from the web. ... [So] if abortion information is plentifully available on the interwebs, and Siri is pulling those types of requests from the web, why does Siri not have an answer about birth control or abortion?
(H/t to DailyKos for link.)
We were curious about how Siri would handle reproductive-health related questions here in Pittsburgh. But inasmuch as we work in print journalism, we're not what you'd call "early adopters." So we consulted Andrea Shockling, who owns a newfangled Siri-compatible phone, and is an acquaintance of our music editor.
Shockling -- who was within city limits when she sought out this information -- found that when asked for women's health options around town, Siri indeed appeared a bit tongue-tied:
Requests for information on birth-control also prompted a shrug:
Still, when Shockling asked for Planned Parenthood by name, she got locations for clinics in the area. And even a more open-ended request produced valid results -- a listing of nearby OB-GYN practices:
Shockling suspects the problem may be that the interface system isn't quite as sophisticated as it may seem.
"The thing about Siri is you can't be too conversational," Shockling says. "She's a computer not a confidante. But ask for Planned Parenthood, and she'll tell you where they are located.
"I don't think there's any conspiracy," Shockling adds.
In fact, as with the sometimes comic results obtained by a mobile device auto-correct function, Siri's search results can provide some laughs. Assuming your medical condition isn't too dire, of course.
If you ask for "family planning," for example, you get family restaurants:
Though honestly, a few visits to a restaurant with your kids in tow -- or someone else's kids at the next table -- might actually be the best advertisement for birth control I know of.
Sure, the Republican candidates for president may all seem like losers, but you can still be a winner. For the next debate -- 8 p.m. Tue., Nov. 22, on CNN -- download our Republican debate Bingo cards, and get ready to turn meaningless clichés and buzzwords into victory.
There are six different Bingo cards, created by City Paper's Al Hoff, who has sat through every GOP debate this season. Using the links below, download one, two or all six!
TO PLAY: Every time a candidate -- not the moderator -- says the word in quotes listed on your card, cross off that square. Likewise if a candidate makes a reference to a category in capital letters (e.g. says "India," for ANY ASIAN COUNTRY). The middle square is a freebie: Cross it off when the first candidate says "Obama."
Mark off any five squares in a row -- vertical, horizontal or diagonal -- and that's a winning Bingo. Alternatively, the player with the most crossed-off squares at the end of the debate wins.
Bingo turns the debate into a nail-biter: Can this many Republicans talk for so long without saying "tax and spend," or mentioning their own wonderful family?
But wait, it's also educational! Playing Bingo forces you to listen to every word the candidates say. You'll never again miss a bungled reference to a Nirvana song, Rick Perry calling Americans "untrustworthy," or Ron Paul's insistence on "real money."
No need to thank us. Let the games begin!
I spent the Tuesday evening live-Tweeting Occupy Pittsburgh protest at the Developing Unconventional Gas conference at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. But here are a couple quick observations from the event:
*For one of the first times during the month-long occupation, tensions between protesters and police escalated as determined Occupiers crashed an opening-night reception hosted by oilfield services company Halliburton. Five protesters were arrested and charged with failure to disperse, defiant trespass and obstruction of roadways. The Post-Gazette has the identifications here.
I was surprised the number didn't increase. At one point, about 200 protesters and 20 officers -- including three K-9 units were standing toe-to-toe. At that point the ball was in the Occupiers court. If they wanted to, certainly some of them could have made it to the conference doors. However, most seemed to stick to their guns and did not give officers any reason to take action against them, just as they have for the entire occupation thus far.
The number looked as though it might rise to six when officers surrounded a protester (pictured above,) and accused him of touching and impeding conference attendees as they made their way downtown toward their hotels. Did some of the protesters get up close and personal with some of the attendees? Absolutely, and police warned them about it.
However, officers seemed to do little when attendees laid their hands on or got a little too close to protesters. I personally witnessed three or four instances of antagonistic behavior by those at the conference, but no admonition came from the cops.
*The other thing that struck me on Tuesday night was the interaction between those at the conference and those protesting. For the most part, protesters were well behaved. They were emphatic, they were loud and they were passionate, but by and large they were well-behaved.
The same can be said for most of the conference attendees. They were either polite as they made their way through the throng of protesters into downtown.
But then you had those on both sides who did nothing but belittle the other. There were multiple middle fingers flying throughout the evening, along with harsh words.
"How the fuck can you sleep at night?" screamed one protester at the passersby.
"Go to work," yelled one conference attendee. "We've got rigs and need people to work them."
But then you had both protesters and conference attendees who actually engaged one another, listening to each other's point of view. Neither side wavering, of course, but listening just the same
One conference-goer stood and talked to protesters for at least 20 minutes, listening to their perspective and sharing his own. While he didn't wish to give his name, he did talk with me a bit about why he decided to stop and chat.
"What I was trying to convey was that I've obviously spoken to a lot of gas people … and I [wanted them to] understand that no one here is anti-earth and we're working to make sure that the drilling is done as safely as possible.
"I think we need to be working toward using renewable energy as much as possible, but I also believe that right now natural gas is better than coal."
And while some protesters listened, it was pretty clear they were still skeptical of the industry and its regulation and planned to continue their protests.
"This whole industry is like a magician who urges you to 'keep your eyes on my right hand' and in that hand he's got jobs and promises," says activist Elizabeth Donohoe. "And then when you're not looking at the left hand they're using it to put money in the pockets of a few by raping the natural resources of this state."
Citing a "humanitarian civil rights issue," advocates want to amend the city's hiring process, so that job applications for many government posts no longer inquire about an applicant's criminal history.
Currently, city job applications require candidates to check a "yes" or "no" box about whether they have been convicted "of any felony of the law." A subsequent line requires applicants to describe the offense.
But in a joint press conference and post-agenda meeting with City Council members Tuesday, representatives from the Formerly Convicted Citizens Project, Black Political Empowerment Project, Urban League and other groups asked that the box be stricken.
"In the right situations, with appropriately placed inquiry, criminal background checks promote safety and security at the workplace," said Dean Williams, director of the Formerly Convicted Citizens Project. "However, imposing a background check that denies any type of employment for people with criminal records is not only unreasonable, it can promote public-safety issues and can also be illegal under civil rights laws."
Advocates joined council member Rev. Ricky Burgess, who proposed a bill this spring to remove the box from city applications. (Burgess' bill exempts applications for public-safety positions like policework and firefighting; applications for those posts would still require a candidate to disclose any criminal history.) Yesterday, Burgess announced plans to expand his legislation to cover vendors who do business with the city.
"It is important that a criminal conviction doesn't become a life sentence," Burgess said. "These are people who have paid their debt to society and ere entitled to employment."
Burgess says that his bill wouldn't require the city to hire anyone with a conviction. Nor would it prevent the city from asking about a criminal background; it would only delay that question until after the rest of the applicants' history had been considered. "After the first interviews, if they are being seriously considered for the job, [the city] has every right to ask," Burgess says. "Then that person -- in person -- can defend or give context for their life history."
The FCCP put forward its own legislation at a post-agenda yesterday. The group's legislation extends beyond government hires, prohibiting all private employers within city limits from asking about criminal records on their written applications. The FCCP bill looks to the city's Commission on Human Relations, which investigates claims of discrimination, to enforce the measure.
"The problem with the box is that it doesn't distinguish between a person who has committed a low-level offense many years ago and has been completely rehabilitated versus a person who has recently committed a violent crime," says Williams.
Advocates met with Burgess and councilor Bill Peduto yesterday at a post-agenda hearing on Burgess's bill. Burgess said he planned to put forward a compromise version of his legislation, with hopes of passing it by the end of the year.
Six corrections officers at SCI-Pittsburgh were arraigned this afternoon on charges including official oppression, criminal conspiracy and witness intimidation. The charges come in the wake of explosive sex-abuse charges against Harry S. Nicoletti, a CO charged in September after a lengthy grand jury investigation by the District Attorney's office. As with Nicoletti's indictment, the allegations here focus heavily on claims that inmates -- especially those convicted of sexually abusing children -- were themselves targeted by COs for physical and psychological abuse.
The PA State Corrections Officers Association, which represents prison guards, has issued a statement about the charges: "As we have maintained, every citizen is entitled to his due process under the law. The legal system should be allowed to take its course."
A summary of allegations follows:
Brian Olinger. Olinger faces charges of official oppression. Page six of the linked affidavit outlines accusations by an inmate that Olinger "urinated and possibly defecated" in the inmate's bed while other COs watched -- and then, telling the inmate "I made your bed for you," made the inmate lie in it.
Bruce Lowther. Lowther's attorney, Mark Fiorilli, said Lowther was the most recent of the charged guards to be suspended from his job as a CO at SCI Pittsburgh. He was suspended without pay on Friday. He is charged with official oppression, simple assault and conspiracy. The affidavit outlines an accusation by an inmate who said Lowther and Nicoletti put the inmate's head in a toilet and forced the inmate to say that he was forced to do it because he is "a piece of shit." Fiorilli denied the charges: "We look forward to challenging these accusations," he said.
Jerome Lynch: Lynch is charged with official oppression, simple assault, conspiracy, intimidation of a witness, terroristic threats and criminal solicitation. The affidavit accuses Lynch of threatening a convicted child molester with "a lead enema." Lynch then allegedly smacked the inmate, threw him to the floor, and began choking the inmate with his arm against the inmate's throat, shouting, "I should just fucking kill you." His attorney, R. Hagen Starz, declined comment.
Kevin Friess: Friess is charged with official oppression, simple assault, criminal conspiracy and intimidation of a witness. Pages 12, 13, and 14 of the linked affidavit outline circumstances in which Friess allegedly participated in verbal abuse against inmates with Nicoletti. Page 14 outlines a circumstance in which Friess and two other COs were heard smacking an inmate. Inmates claim that Friess was a "lookout" officer while Nicoletti and Kelly abused inmates. Friess attorney Casey White denied the charges: "Consider the sources of these allegations," he said. "We're eager to defend [Friess] in court."
Sean Storey: Storey is charged with official oppression, simple assault and terroristic threats. On page seven, an inmate says he witnessed Storey take his shirt off, go into the cell of a "Caucasian male pedophile inmate" and come out "sweating with some blood on him." His attorney, Christopher Capozzi, denied the charges.
Tory Kelly: Kelly is charged with official oppression, simple assault, criminal conspiracy, conspiracy, terroristic threats, intimidation of a witness and stalking. In August, he was charged with intimidating a witness after the grand jury investigation was initially made public. Pages 16, 17 and 18 of the linked affidavit outline multiple instances where Kelly was accused of physically assaulting inmates.
Notably, two sergeants who City Paper believes were among those suspended earlier this year do not appear to be among those charged today.
Casey White, the attorney defending guard Kevin Friess, surmised that the men had become witnesses for the prosecution. Mike Manko, press secretary for the DA's office, would not comment. Instead, he forwarded DA Stephen A. Zappala's statement on today's arrests: "My office, and this community, cannot tolerate conduct like this from persons in an authority position in this type of institutional setting."
A+ Schools announced the good news during a press conference this morning, when the Hill District-based nonprofit unveiled its Seventh Annual Report to the Community on Public School Progress in Pittsburgh. The 125-page report, which provides an in-depth look at student achievement within individual schools and which tracks improvement compared to previous years, reveals a number of positive trends. In addition to narrowing the achievement gap between black and white students, the city district also saw an increase in "Promise-ready" students, as well as a rise in the district's graduation rate.
"We are seeing a lot of progress," Carey Harris, executive director of A+ Schools, announced at a press conference in the Hill District this morning. "There's plenty to be proud of in the Pittsburgh Public Schools."
The racial-achievement gap has long plagued school districts across the country, including Pittsburgh. But over the last four years, according to A+ Schools, the disparity between test scores for whites and blacks in the Pittsburgh Public Schools has been steadily decreasing.
In 2008, for instance, the gap between black and white students scoring proficient or advanced in reading on state tests stood at 34.9 percent. By 2011, however, that gap has narrowed to 30.6 percent. The achievement gap in math also narrowed over the same four-year period, from 28.5 percent in 2008 to 27.2 percent in 2011.
"We are pleased to see the achievement gap beginning to be closed," said Sala Udin, chairman of the board of A+ Schools. "We're beginning to make some movement."
Here are some positive highlights from the 2010-2011 report:
"It's important for us to celebrate the gains we've made," said Nina Esposito-Visgitis, president of the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers. "But we know our work isn't done."
Indeed, Harris pointed out during her presentation that there are still causes for concern when it comes to the district's racial divide, especially at the high school level. For example, she said, in all eight of the city's high schools, 60 percent of white seniors were eligible for the Pittsburgh Promise scholarship program. But in just two high schools were 60 percent of black students eligible for the academic scholarship.
While Harris noted that the district's high schools need to improve, her presentation didn't highlight any specific issues. But leafing through the high school section of the report, it's easy to see there are some serious problems.
Take Westinghouse High School, for instance. In 2011, 0 percent of its 11th-grade students scored proficient or advanced in science (the district average was 22.5 percent), while just 6.9 percent scored the same in math (the district average was 47.5 percent). Also, just 25 percent of Westinghouse seniors were eligible for a Promise scholarship, nearly 35 percentage points below the district average.
The good news is that the district is in the midst of reforming Westinghouse. The bad news, however, is that relaunching it as a 6-12 school with single-gender classes has proven to be a disaster.
While the mood at today's press conference was upbeat, it's uncertain how the district will be able to build upon its successes as it tackles a $38 million budget shortfall. On Nov. 7, Superintendent Linda Lane proposed cutting 300 teaching positions next year, the latest in a long line of belt-tightening measures introduced in recent months.
"The Pittsburgh Public Schools is facing a daunting challenge to keep making academic progress with less resources," Harris said.
We'll have to wait until next year's report to see if they succeed.
Jordan Miles for District Attorney?
It's unlikely to happen, but local police-accountability activists trying to drawn attention to their efforts have started a "whisper" campaign urging Allegheny County voters to write the former CAPA student's name on the Nov. 8 ballot instead of voting for current District Attorney Stephen Zappala.
"[Zappala] runs unopposed every time," says local activist Paradise Gray. "So why not run Jordan against him?
"We're committed to trying to get justice for Jordan," he adds. "This is a great way to bring more light to the case."
Since his controversial arrest and beating at the hands of three undercover city police officers last year, Miles has been the face of efforts to reform the Pittsburgh Police.
On Jan. 12, 2010, Miles was arrested by three members of an anti-gun task force, who claimed they mistook a bottled soft-drink for a gun -- no trace of either was found -- and said Miles tried to run from them and resisted arrest. But photos taken afterward of the former CAPA High School honors student, his face swollen and his scalp raw, became a flash-point of controversy across the city.
Anger over the incident increased in early May, when U.S. Attorney David Hickton announced that the officers involved in the beating -- Michael Saldutte, Richard Ewing and David Sisak -- would not face federal charges, due to a lack of evidence. Soon after, city officials announced the officers would be reinstated to the force. At rallies held soon after, protesters hoisted signs bearing Miles' beaten and bruised face, and urged Zappala to press charges against the officers.
They're still waiting.
Gray told City Paper that the idea for the write-in campaign was first discussed as far back as May, shortly before the Justice Department decision was announced. He says word began to spread once Zappala's office began investigating Miles' arrest shortly after.
It's unclear why the write-in campaign hasn't been publicized more heavily in the months since then -- especially with less than a week to go before the election. Generally speaking, the purpose of a write-in campaign is to get as many voters as possible to take part. But the effort is being billed as a "secret" ... and other than Gray, police-accountability activists who have been active in the Miles cause, including Tim Stevens and Brandi Fisher, did not return multiple phone calls for comment.
The effort does, however, have a Facebook page. So we'll have to see how far social media can help this whisper travel.
In an effort to ensure the financial stability of Occupy Pittsburgh, nearly 100 members of the local protest movement debated a proposal last night that would link Occupy Pittsburgh to a nonprofit fiscal sponsor, allowing the group to accept tax-deductible donations.
Two hours into the meeting, however, things turned ugly when one of the proposal's authors stormed out of the room, charging that facilitators were trying to "kill" the measure.
From the outset, the Occupy Pittsburgh encampment on Mellon Green has been sustained by donations of food, water, and even portable toilets. But it lacks a formal means for accepting financial contributions. During a general assembly meeting held inside the United Steelworkers building, Downtown, the Occupy Pittsburgh "donations working group" introduced a proposal to begin doing so.
Under that proposal, the movement could receive funds under the auspices of the Thomas Merton Center, a long-established peace-and justice group.
"Having the ability to accept online and check donations, and receive cash and non-monetary donations which are tax-deductible to the donors in a legal and organized way is an absolute necessity for the movement to continue," the one-page proposal states.
Nathaniel Glosser, who presented the proposal to the audience, estimated that it costs roughly $8,000-12,000 a month to run Occupy Pittsburgh's Downtown encampment. "There is a lot of need for funds ... and a transparent system to track [them]," he said.
Some occupiers suggested that Occupy Pittsburgh create its own nonprofit arm. But that would take at least six weeks, the working group concluded. So it proposed the sponsorship arrangement instead.
Fiscal sponsorship allows a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to sponsor a "project" whose participants haven't created a tax-exempt entity of their own. Other Occupy movements, including Occupy Wall Street, have found fiscal sponsors.
"A fiscal sponsorship is not an alliance, affiliation, or collaboration," the proposal states. "It simply is use of another organization's nonprofit status so that funding can be received, while members of Occupy Pittsburgh work towards becoming financially independent."
If the Garfield-based Merton Center became Occupy Pittsburgh's fiscal sponsor, it would take care of the movement's accounting and reporting to the IRS. The center would take a 5 percent administrative fee per transaction for its services.
"The Thomas Merton Center is uniquely qualified to be a sponsor of this group," Glosser said.
Not everyone was happy with the proposal. Some raised concerns about where the money would be deposited; Merton Center chair Michael Drohan told the audience that the center has an account at PNC -- whose business practices Occupiers have protested within the past couple weeks.
"I'll be damned if my money goes anywhere near [PNC Bank]," asserted Jim Blue Thunder, who'd been involved in a demonstration at a Downtown branch of PNC.
Other critics expressed concern about implications of being a "project" of The Thomas Merton Center, since not everyone may agree with the nonprofit's mission and principles.
Indeed, although last night's discussion didn't touch on it, the Merton Center's own finances, and its relationship with protest movements, have at times been rocky. The anarchist Pittsburgh Organizing Group, for example, had been a "project" of the center, but parted ways due to philosophical differences. Merton has also experienced financial stumbles of its own, which last year prompted the Center's board to lay off full-time staffers, a process Center leaders admitted wasn't handled well.
But those who supported making the Center a sponsor argued that developing a fiscal sponsorship would make the movement's finances more transparent, possibly enticing more donors. One occupier, who is part of the food working group, mentioned his discomfort when passers-by at Mellon Green make cash donations to him directly.
"I'd like to get this [money] out of my hands," he said.
Tom Cox, 49, of Lawrenceville, said many donors feel uncomfortable putting money in tip jars at the camp site. He said supporters of the movement would be more willing to donate to Occupy Pittsburgh if they could do so in a more organized way.
Most of the crowd appeared to agree: After a two-hour debate, facilitators held a straw poll to gauge support. By my estimate, supporters of a sponsorship outnumbered opponents by roughly two-to-one. (Notably, most of the opposition seemed to come from people who have been camping out at Mellon Green; support came largely from noncampers.)
But minutes after the straw poll, Glosser started yelling and stormed out. Other participants followed, urging him to calm down. "I'm too pissed!" he said. Accusing meeting facilitators of trying "to kill this proposal," he said, "I suggest everybody walk out!"
Reached the following day by phone, Glosser said, "It's an internal matter that I am not entirely comfortable discussing for publication."
After Glosser's departure, meeting attendees decided to table the proposal until next week, so the working group can further develop it.
But without naming Glosser, some people said they wanted another representative from that working group to lead future discussions. One occupier, whose question was shot down by Glosser earlier in the meeting, said he was tired of being bullied at general assemblies.
After the meeting broke for a recess, some said Glosser's outburst was nothing new. As occupier Bram Reichbaum said, "He has a bit of a temper."
Gov. Tom Corbett last week warned that transportation funding isn't his priority for this term. Port Authority CEO Steve Bland, meanwhile, is warning yet again that if the state doesn't act soon, riders can expect more misery.
Last week, Corbett was in town for a Waterways Symposium, and told the Post-Gazette and Tribune-Review that he "doesn't have a deadline in mind of this year" for addressing statewide transportation issues.
Speaking to reporters after today's Port Authority board meeting, Bland says the governor's comment "gives us not much hope that something will be done in the short term.
"Whether you're Port Authority or other transit agencies," Bland added, "you have to start planning for that eventuality."
Port Authority brass last month presented what it called the "matrix of doom": scenarios for the transit agency based on possible state funding and a new contract with Amalgamated Transit Union Local 85, which represents Port Authority drivers. Bland announced on Sept. 23 that without contract concessions and help from the state, the agency could face a $64 million operating deficit. That could lead to layoffs, curtailment of night and weekend buses, and the elimination of weekend light-rail service as well as up to 40 routes. The agency is already reeling from previous cuts that reduced service by 15 percent, raised fees and laid off nearly 200 workers.
"If anyone had doubts in March that we were cutting into bone," Bland said at the time, "the next round would be pure amputation."
Frustration about Harrisburg's inaction has been palpable over the last year, and increasingly so after Corbett's remarks last week. Rick Geist, Republican chairman of the House transportation committee, told the Post-Gazette, "The governor put together a commission, and it put forth recommendations and then everything just stopped."
And last week, Republican Jake Corman (R-Centre), announced he will introduce legislation for a funding package, using many of the suggestions from the Governor's own Transportation Funding Advisory Committee Report. The TFAC report identified $2.5 billion in funding suggestions, from merging smaller transit systems to increasing registration and license fees.
In a statement, Corman cited the urgency of the transportation funding situation: "We can't continue to ignore these pressing challenges, which are directly related to public safety and economic development. Now is the time to act -- the evidence is overwhelming and the need is there. The only thing holding us back is political fear."
And while Bland notes that such support indicates "statewide consensus that we have to act sooner rather then later," he cautions that "clearly without the support of the governor it's going to be very difficult."

Harbhajan Singh lauds ITBP work, turns counsellor for stranded pilgrims, tourists
Flash floods, cloudbursts and landslips have claimed 52 lives in Uttarakhand while damaging 175 houses across the state. "I am not sure if can make the pilgrim to Hemkund Sahib. But I will definitely come again," he added.
India cricketer Harbhajan Singh, who is on a pilgrimage but stuck due to incessant rains, on Tuesday lauded the efforts of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police's (ITBP) for helping rain-hit pilgrims, here.
"We are lucky to be here at the ITBP's camp. They have helped lot of people and rescued them. I thank ITBP for doing such a great job," Harbhajan told reporters here.
Flash floods, cloudbursts and landslips have claimed 52 lives in Uttarakhand while damaging 175 houses across the state.
"I had come here for yatra (pilgrimage) to seek blessing of the God. But due to incessant rains we are stuck here. People are saying we are stuck here but I will say we are lucky that we are safe due to god's grace. Anything could have happened in this bad weather," the spinner said.
"I am not sure if can make the pilgrim to Hemkund Sahib. But I will definitely come again," he added.
The cricketer is staying at the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) camp at Joshimath since the last three days after he too could not reach Hemkund Sahib gurudwara due to inclement weather.
The off-spinner today accompanied ITBP officials to the forces' barracks and campuses where stranded pilgrims are being provided food and medicines and talked to them.
"He counselled them (pilgrims and tourists) that all would be well soon and that force personnel and others are trying to bring as much succour as they can. He gave them food and water and spent with them," a senior ITBP official said. The ITBP has deployed close to 600 personnel for relief and rescue operations in the state and has opened up its office and residential buildings for the people to stay.
"Our jawans have even emptied their barracks to accommodate the people who are stuck. Every effort is being made to provide food, water and medicines through two private choppers that have been pressed in by the force," the official said.
The force has spread its men to rain-hit areas in Kedarnath, Gaurikund, Govindghat, Pandukeswar, Karnaprayag, Badrinath and Uttarkashi.

Demetris – Don't Displease The Master
Released: July 30, 2013
Demetris must have done something very bad for her master to have decided to chastise her so fiercely. You'll see exactly what we mean when you settle in to watch this Full HD BDSM roleplay video. This is one of the most intense scenes we've had on House of Taboo lately. Marcus generally looks like such an easy-going guy, but in this bizarre encounter it's clear that female slaves shouldn't get on his character's bad side, because he will: bind the slavegirl with red leather straps and leave her stewing in anxiety alone on a bed; pinch her nipples and spit in her mouth; cram a gold plug in her asshole, leaving a crater-like gape afterward; span…

Sensitive assays are required to detect proviral bovine leukemia virus (BLV) in donor cattle used for the in vivo preparation of Australian tick fever vaccines. 5' Taq nuclease assays using 3' minor groove binder DNA probes (TaqMan®MGB) were developed and compared to conventional PCR assays for sensitive detection of Australian BLV. Seven beef and dairy herds were screened using DNA prepared by a variety of protocols to evaluate these tests. Comparative sensitivities of PCR tests were determined by testing log10 dilutions of plasmids with inserted BLV sequences. Animals were also screened by the BLV standard agar-gel immunodiffusion test (AGID) and commercial enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for antibodies, and an ELISA for detecting viral antigens expressed (VAE) in lymphocyte cultures. The TaqMan®MGB assay based on the pol region was the most sensitive and specific for the detection of BLV. This is the first report of a sensitive BLV 5' Taq nuclease assay.

Question about Mag Innovision LT765b 17" Flat Panel LCD Monitor
I have a dual monitor setup, and the MAG just started going black. It comes up just fine, but after a few minutes, the picture just ends. My PC still thinks the monitor is connected, and the display on the other screen is unaffected...even the power on light doesn't change. I've checked all of the connections, and even tried re-connecting the video cable, but the only thing that brings the picture back is a power cycle (after which the image is fine again for a few minutes). I'm afraid it's just done, but wanted to see if there were any other suggestions first.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Posted by chezy on
same problem- picture goes black after a few minutes
I used to repair LCD monitor from Dell. It works for me. You might be using
these following steps to examine what wrong with your monitor. After you turned PC on and
monitor stopped working or went black, you have to check that if you can see the image on the
screen or not by shining a flashlight into the screen, not directly but find
the best angle to the screen and take a look very closely. If you can see the
icons or any image (Start menu), there will be a minor problem. This is because of CCFL lamps
inside screen. Some of them were broken and it is very easy to replace. If you
cannot see anything on the screen, there'll be some problems with inverter board. If you
have soldering tool and want to fix it by yourself, check the caps first. It
may cause this problem. Some caps might show leaking or burn spot on the board
because of too high temp. If you don't have soldering tool, you better go get a
technician to do so.
Hope this help!! If anything I can help you with, feel free to let me know.
Thank you.

Diegetic sound:
This is sound coming from within the world of the film (dialogue, objects within the film etc.)
Non-diegetic sound:
This is sound coming from outside the world of the film (Film score, voice over and sound effects added in during the editing process).

Stephanie is an early riser, Jeff is not. Right around the time Stephanie indulges in her post-yoga morning soup, Jeff rolls out of bed and takes to the guitar—his morning ignition. After strumming his way to an inspired state, it's coffee time, just as Stephanie returns from her run with Pique, the pair's dog. Though both move through autonomous morning rituals, they come together as yin and yang in their business, Book More Brides.
Stephanie and Jeff Padovani are the epitome of a dynamic duo. Their roles as business partners are clearly defined, divvying up their responsibilities according to their strengths.
"He's the fire starter, he comes up with the ideas and then I make them happen," proclaims Stephanie.
Only brief guests in their domain, we fire at them long-winded questions, they reply in swells of giddy banter, often interjecting with wisecracks, clarification on key points, or to support the other's claim. This is them just being themselves; this is who they are in full view.
Their Poughkeepsie, New York home is their sanctuary, their living quarters, and their business HQ. All the magic happens right here with the occasional pitter patter of cat and dog paws echoing through the halls—a welcome interlude to a busy day.
The fruit of the couple's partnership, Book More Brides, equips and empowers wedding professionals to get all the business they could ever want. In their own words, they help professionals and vendors in the wedding industry, who are awesome at what they do, market themselves and communicate their value to attract the clients they want. It's through the wonders of automation, learning by doing, and playing to their individual strengths that we can trace the lineage of their success.
Jovially playing off each other's words, the power couple regales us with the story of how they first met. It's the classic workplace romance. Steph and Jeff first caught eyes while working as resident marshmallows in the clean room at IBM. Marshmallow being slang for the full body anti-static suits they wore that revealed only their eyes.
"Well, she was the only female marshmallow so I got friendly with her, and she ended up being my trainer!"
It didn't take long for their professional relationship to blossom into a full-blown romance. Thus, they were soon bound in life and in business.
Rather than endure the banality of the corporate world for a moment longer, Steph and Jeff bailed out to pursue their version of freedom—entrepreneurship. Their initial a-ha moment happened at a wedding they attended where they learned that the wedding DJ, who had besmirched the good name of music just moments before, was making a substantial income. A light bulb went off. Not to be surpassed by mediocrity, Jeff being a professional musician and the outspoken schemer of the pair, suggested they foray into the wedding DJ industry—and off they went.
"We did probably over a thousand weddings and we realized, when we reached that point, that we really enjoyed the business side more than being DJs, and we were always helping our wedding vendor friends with problems with their business, so we're like, hmm.."
Soon after, Book More Brides was born—the third of their business ventures at the time. However it was nothing more than a mere concept; barely in its infancy with no revenue let alone a product to speak of.
Big-time proponents of the Jeff Walker launch formula, the two sought the last whopper of a puzzle piece to get their business off the ground: a business automation platform.
But what led them to ONTRAPORT for their first launch?
"We planned on releasing seven days of free content, inviting our email list, and offering an affiliate program, so we needed the tools to put all this together," Stephanie said. "ONTRAPORT seemed most accessible, it had all the features we needed, and so we went for it."
And it payed off! Their first product launch, a recording of a free live webinar they had hosted, made them $26,000 in sales and more than tripled the size of their email list. A second launch in which they debuted their first real product, a training program titled "The Automatic Expert System," followed a couple of months later making $50,000.
Though engrossed in an industry with deep pockets, Stephanie and Jeff retained their modesty when it came time to plan and budget their own tying of the knot.
"We got married in our backyard. Our entire wedding cost, maybe, $4,500 including dress, rings, booze, everything."
A modest wedding was all the pair ever wanted. It's this palpable brand of authenticity—and staying true to themselves—that draws in and engages their target market. It explains why they've never been shy about their stumbles, all of which have become valuable learning experiences along the way.
Stephanie and Jeff are the sort of people who have a knack for spinning blunders in their favor and then sharing that experience with their audience. While DJing weddings, they launched their first product in conjunction with an affiliate/joint venture launch—a big marketing faux pas—yet came out with a profit and a fortified list. They didn't know any better yet prevailed nonetheless. All because they had mimicked the marketing superstars and streamlined their launch process with automation.
Another incident arose just as they began to make a name for themselves. The husband and wife duo were invited to speak at Wedding MBA, the largest annual bridal convention in America, where they'd been granted a sizable booth yet prepared no collateral to furnish it with: no posters, handouts, signage, nothing. When it came time to man their *cough* minimalistic booth, they were approached by loads of puzzled attendees and had to laugh off their plight. They spun what began as an embarrassing mishap into a conversation starter… and then proceeded to videotape the ordeal. Their video documentary of that event became a lesson to their followers in 'craptastic' marketing.
"People responded well to it, that kind of vulnerability and authenticity. Like, wow, most people just want to make themselves look good all the time," said Stephanie.
That's the flavor of actionable education the Padovanis offer their clients, redefining success in line with their winning formula: quality, targeted content that delivers value. In doing so they've not only attracted the clients they want, they've helped countless clients do the same.
With thirty product launches now in the bag, Steph and Jeff are hungry for more. So what's next? The couple plan on stepping away from solely event-based launches to implementing a fully-automated evergreen sales funnel, one in which a product line is available year-round at a fixed price.
"What we're doing now is focusing on how can we create an evergreen sales funnel. How can we really take what we've got and those leads coming in, and take them through a sequence automatically. And ONTRAPORT lets us do that. It gives all the tools to create the email sequences and send them to the right pages, and track who's doing what, are they actually watching the videos? Are they actually visiting the pages? And follow up with them in accordance with their biggest interests, and really make it more valuable for them, and easier for us," added Stephanie.
Now in the early stages of scaling, the pair who has gone from three businesses to one is refining the systemization portion of their business.
It's been a hell of a ride for the twosome going from employment to fully automated business owners, but Stephanie only has encouragement for budding entrepreneurs in any niche:
"They don't think they can create a business without sacrificing their family. I'm here to tell them that they can, but you have to really be strategic about it. You have to know, first, why you're doing it, what's important to you, and what you really want this to look like when you're done."

By Mike Dodd, USA TODAY
CHICAGO A relatively subdued Chicago Bears populace awaits Sunday's home playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks, unsure if the anticipation is a dance to the Super Bowl or a death watch.
The cause of restraint is Rex-itis, a nagging affliction for the faithful since the team's first preseason game in August.
Quarterback Rex Grossman, completing his first full season as the starter, has been as inconsistent as the weather, throwing more interceptions than touchdowns in December. What exacerbates that ailment is an increasingly vulnerable defense and a recent history of first-round playoff failures at Soldier Field.
"I don't think the bookies in Vegas are getting as much money on the Bears as they expected," cracked Steve McMichael, a member of the 1985 Bears and host of a Sunday talk show on ESPN 1000 in Chicago.
SEAHAWKS AT BEARS: Previews, predictions from USA TODAY
Rarely has a team with a 13-3 regular-season record (and a quarterback who is 17-6 for his career as a starter) generated so much angst among its fans and doubt from national observers. One NFL television analyst after another has questioned Grossman's ability to lead the Bears to Super Bowl XLI.
In late November, Fox's Troy Aikman said Grossman was holding the team back (but later added he would stick with him as the starter). NBC's John Madden said the young passer didn't seem to be playing with much confidence and some of his troubles were "just terrible fundamentals." CBS' Shannon Sharpe said Grossman should be benched for his admission he didn't prepare enough for the Green Bay Packers game two weeks ago.
The Bears' response to the unsolicited critiques: 13-3. But it's Grossman's Jekyll-and-Hyde routine that makes the Bears' prospects so uncertain.
"Rex gives them the best chance to win — and he also gives them the best chance to lose," ESPN analyst Sean Salisbury said. "He can be spectacular at times, no question about it. … (But) he's an extremist. If he plays bad, it's awful. He's got to find a middle ground."
Grossman, who has been unflinchingly candid in assessing his play, didn't hide the pain from his three-interception, first-half outing Dec. 31 against Green Bay. "I've been in this position before, and hopefully I never come back," he said. "I hate this. I hate it right now."
Last week he said his regression against the Packers was the result of lax preparation and focus for a game that meant nothing for the postseason, a confession he acknowledged Wednesday he shouldn't have made. He had said, "It's the last game, it's New Year's Eve and there were so many other factors that brought my focus away from what is actually important."
Salisbury, a former NFL quarterback, said such an admission could plant seeds of doubt among his teammates, who have backed Grossman consistently. "After playing a bad game, please don't tell us preparation was a problem. Once in a while you need to lie to us," Salisbury said.
The fourth-year pro said the comments were taken a bit out of context but agreed Wednesday that he shouldn't have made them publicly: "I definitely regret it and won't talk … as openly anymore."
He said he is staying longer at Halas Hall this week, getting to bed earlier and letting his wife handle distracting chores such as ticket requests: "You're going to see a focused and intense quarterback."
He is reacting to the criticism and armchair analysis as he has all season, with an air of confidence and perspective.
"One, it's a challenge, and I'm going to step up to the plate and take that challenge head on," Grossman said. "And two, I don't listen to it, I honestly don't. … I'm sure they're saying negative things. They've said extremely positive things when I've been playing well and said some extremely negative things when things were going bad. It's just a distraction either way."
Injury-free for first time
The 26-year-old passer from the University of Florida, a Heisman Trophy runner-up as a sophomore and the Bears' first-round draft choice in 2003, started the final three games of his rookie season, then had a season-ending knee injury in the third game of 2004. Last year he broke his left ankle in the preseason and missed all but the last three regular-season games.
Goal No. 1 this season was to start all 16 games and shed the injury-prone talk. Mission accomplished, but it came with a few blow-ups.
After a shaky preseason in which backup Brian Griese outplayed him, Grossman won the NFC offensive player of the month award for September. The inconsistency began with Game 6 in early October, a six-turnover performance (four interceptions, two lost fumbles) against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football.
Grossman since had four games with a passer rating greater than 100 (seven for the season) and four with a grade below 40 (five for 2006). He appeared to break out of a dreadful midseason slump with three consecutive games without an interception down the stretch but relapsed in the finale against the Packers — completing two of 12 passes for 33 yards with three interceptions and a 0.0 rating.
Heading into his second playoff start, he can look to three areas for signs of revival:
• His second-best game of the season came after a bye week following the meltdown in Arizona. Bears coaches used the time to work on his fundamentals — an approach they also took last week — and he responded by completing 23 of 29 for 252 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions against the San Francisco 49ers.
• With one exception, he has rebounded from poor performances with solid games. (The exception was back-to-back three-interception efforts against the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings.)
• In the first Seattle game, Oct. 1, he hit 17 of 31 for 232 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 37-6 victory. He faces a depleted Seahawks secondary Sunday.
More than statistics, coaches and teammates say, Grossman has the determination and mental toughness to come back.
"His answer to adversity is to figure out a way to get it solved," said Purdue offensive coordinator Ed Zaunbrecher, Grossman's quarterback coach-offensive coordinator in his final year at Florida. Grossman insists he hasn't been shaken by the tumultuous season: "I've never lost my confidence. I've just had bad games."
Grossman stays aggressive
Although overshadowed by the turnover-filled efforts, Grossman's seven games with a passer rating of 100-plus was second in the NFL to the St. Louis Rams' Marc Bulger and the most in a single season by a Chicago quarterback since the rating was introduced in 1973. He is the fourth 3,000-yard passer in team history.
Quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson said the coaches have been preaching patience to Grossman, getting him to check down to the second or third options if needed.
"He had a lot of success with that, then he tended to get overaggressive and a little more reluctant to check it down when he was going through his midseason slump," Wilson said. He doesn't think the struggles will make Grossman too tentative in a big matchup. "That's not his game."
Grossman made it clear his basic mind-set hasn't changed: "If it's there, I'm taking it. That's how you play football. … If the throw is there, give it a shot. We're trying to win the game, not kick field goals."
"He's kind of a throwback guy," Zaunbrecher said. "Some guys look really pretty and their stats are OK but they never move the ball. He's a guy who's always out there trying to win the game."
An admirable trait, Salisbury said, but one that needs to be tempered when things are going badly.
"You take guts away from a quarterback, and I'll show you a loser," he said, but "when he starts off slowly, he hasn't gotten to the point in his game where he says, 'I'm not going to compound the mistake with another one.' … Don't compound it with four more stupid plays."
Smith stands behind his QB
Sunday's game could play a significant role in the organization's assessment of Grossman, who has one year remaining on his contract.
Coach Lovie Smith has remained solidly behind the starter, and while he gave Griese playing time in each of the Bears' last two regular-season games, he is dismissing the notion there'll be a quick hook if Grossman starts poorly Sunday.
The Bears haven't won a playoff game at home since 1990. Two of three consecutive losses came after they earned a bye. In 2001, Chicago rolled to a 13-3 record but was knocked off by the Philadelphia Eagles 33-19. Last year the Bears convincingly defeated the Carolina Panthers 13-3 in the regular season but were upset by them 29-21 in the playoffs.
Sunday's playoff opener "is an important game for the whole of Chicago's psyche. I'm not just talking about the team. The town needs a playoff win," McMichael said.
All-pro linebacker Brian Urlacher said anything but a Super Bowl berth will be a setback: "To go through this season the way we've gone through this season (and lose) would be a huge disappointment."

New figures from the BBC shows how viewing figures for the iPlayer is starting to mirror that of traditional TV.
While traditional TV viewership climbs dramatically from 3pm, before peaking at 9pm; iPlayer figures start to rise at 3pm too, but peak at 11pm – two hours later than traditional TV.
The disparity is likely due to users accessing the iPlayer on their smartphones and tablets once they have gone to bed.
More than 23 per cent of ALL iPlayer requests come from mobile devices, with connected TVs generating 20 per cent.
According to the BBC, there was a record number of iPlayer requests in October 2012, with 213 million request for TV and radio programmes over the 31 days – the first time iPlayer plays have broken 200 million in a month.

Khloe Kardashian slams 'negative' body critics
Khloe Kardashian has hit out at body critics after sharing a revealing bum selfie.
The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' beauty posted a picture of her torso and the top half of her bottom whilst laying in bed in a Calvin Klein bra and jogging bottoms.
Alongside the photo posted on her Instagram account, she wrote: "Good morning"
The 31-year-old beauty's 46.6 million fans had a lot to say about the sexy image and Khloe was clearly unimpressed and slammed those who wrote "negative" comments under the image and for wasting their time in doing so.
In a series of tweets, posted on Saturday evening (16.04.16), she wrote: "It is 8: 30 AM on Saturday morning and people still have something negative to say. I guess negativity never sleeps huh?! ... You know if you don't like something you don't have to look at it right? Let alone waste your energy to comment. thirsty thirsty thirsty ... Anyways... Shout out to all the real ones who uplift!! I love and respect you all! Stay shining (sic)"
The 'Kocktails with Khloe' host later showed her haters she isn't phased by their comments by showing off her super-toned body with yet another gym mirror selfie with her "gym buddy" Malika.
Alongside the photo, she wrote: "I'm so proud of Malika for being my workout buddy today and killing it!!! Thanks "@domanatrixtraining for making her throw up lol happy Saturday!! (sic)

Australian Pat Farmer, who arrived home today after becoming the first person to run from the North Pole to the South Pole, says he's a different person to the one who set out on that epic journey back in April.
'I was dropped off by Russian helicopter on the 6th April in the North Pole. You could just imagine how I felt when that helicopter left … thinking to myself that all the things I told people I was going to do, now I have to do … I stood at one end of the earth and I gazed down at the other and by simply putting one foot in front of the other I achieved this enormous goal.'
Pat's superhuman effort was about much more than breaking records or personal glory.
His purpose was to raise awareness and money for Red Cross water and sanitation programs around the world, a cause about which he is extremely passionate.
Unsafe water and poor sanitation have claimed more lives worldwide over the past century than any other cause; and some four million people die each year from diseases associated with the lack of access to safe drinking water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene.
Pat Farmer completed his 20,919km fundraising pole to pole trek last Sunday (19 February at approximately 10am local Argentinian time - 12midnght, 20 February AEST).
Today, after seeing his two children, Brooke (17) and Dillon (14), he said the thing he was looking forward to most was a meat pie. "I was asked by many people what did I miss most about Australia and I have to say a meat pie, I absolutely craved a meat pie.'
Every day of the last ten and a half months had been difficult, he said. 'I felt broken and beaten so many times … Every day I felt terrible, I had aches and pains in my legs, I had blisters, I had bruises. Luckily I had a great regime where I looked after my body in the evenings … I went through 22 pairs of running shoes, one pair of snow shoes, two pairs of boots.
'(But) I can't help but feel I am better person as result of what we have been able to achieve over this run; there's something about doing distance, something about fighting the elements … there's something special about doing something for another person, hurting yourself to be able to improve their quality of life.'
The whole run was done on a shoestring budget, said Pat. 'Because the focus was on the International Red Cross, and it was about raising funds. We have raised money in Canada, in the USA, and we raised money in each of the countries we passed through. We are continuing to raise money and will do for the course of this year, and who knows how much longer beyond that.
'The purpose of this journey was not about Pat Farmer, it was not about setting records … it was about trying to bring home a very strong message, and that was the message of humanity.'
Australian Red Cross CEO Robert Tickner told the press conference, to rousing applause, that Pat had got one thing wrong. 'You said something that was wrong, dead wrong; you said 'I'm not special'. You are a legend.'
Pat has cemented his place in the history books, he said afterwards. 'He's successfully done what no one has ever done before in running from the North to the South Pole, and he's gone a huge way towards changing the lives of people in Timor-Leste. Pat has truly done us proud.
'It's not too late to get behind Pat. You can still show your support for his incredible feat by donating to the cause so dear to his heart.' Donations can be made here.
Pat's run took him through Canada, the United States, Central America and South America to Antarctica. He has passed through 14 countries has clocked up an average of 80km a day, the equivalent of two marathons, with no days off. He has suffered dehydration, stress injuries and unimaginable pain, battling through the extreme cold of the Arctic, the dangerous jungles of the Darien Gap, and the heat of the deserts of Peru.
Funds raised by Pat have already been used to fund a project in Timor-Leste connecting a school and a clinic on the outskirts of the town of Com to the settlement's clean water supply. The money will also be used to build extra latrines at the school and fund hygiene education for the students and teachers.
The local village chief says the new infrastructure will make a huge difference to the health of the people in Com.
'Chronic water and sanitation problems are one of the greatest issues facing the world today. Unsafe water and poor sanitation have claimed more lives worldwide over the past century than any other cause - more than war, more than malnutrition, more than natural disasters,' Mr Tickner said.
For everyone, no matter where they live on this planet, water means life and wherever there is a lack of clean water and sanitation then disease, death and economic hardship take over.
For media inquiries or more information contact Kim Batchelor on 0457 542 113 or email. Images are available of Pat's arrival back in Sydney and of the press conference, as well as from his run

Frustrated Customer Buys 23 Pies To Spite Spoiled Kid In Line
Apparently, after waiting in line in front of an angry and rude mother and her unruly child, a man who was having a bad day (and a migraine) decided to ruin their day...
The child was screaming "I want pie!" punching his mother, so he politely asked her if she could calm him down; she replied with mind your business..so the man bought up every last pie — all 23 of them — and walked out of Burger King, turning only to see the enraged mother and child, helpless as the cashier told them that the restaurant had just sold out of pie
ORIGINAL STORY HERE >> Reddit
Matt Siegel, better known to Bostonians as "Matty in the Morning," has ruled the ratings in the Boston market since he first arrived at KISS 108! Matty's unique interview style and insightful yet sarcastic commentary has allowed him the good fortune of winning the coveted National Association of Broadcaster's Marconi Award for Personality of the Year, not once, but twice.
The Matty Show's signature segment is the wildly popular "Right Now," where Matty takes live callers and helps listeners with whatever is going on in their lives! In addition to his national awards, Matty has been inducted into the Massachusetts Radio Hall of Fame. When he is not on the air making New Englanders laugh during their brutal morning commute, Matty spends a great deal of his free time on the golf course attempting to lower his handicap.

Smart thermostats can be controlled remotely using smartphones/ tablets or desktop computers. With Google buying Nest, smart thermostats are now the hottest home accessory to have this winter!
Quite a few of them like Nest and the tado° learn and adapt to your behaviour which could end up saving you some serious cash.
British Gas Hive
Hive Active Heating is built around a dashboard, which enables users to manage your home's temperature using a smart device.'Design' a heating schedules and alter your home's temperature whenever you want using Geolocation. The device can automatically turn the heating on if you are on holiday- saving you a colossal amount of bother, time and money. It alerts you when you've gone out and left your heating on, or when you're returning home and the temperature's set lower than you'd like. You can get a Hive for £199 (including installation) or £149 is you're a British Gas customer.
Nest learns your habits, i.e. what time you leave the house on weekdays and based around it creates a personalised "heating schedule". Eventually, the Learning Thermostat will know so much about your habits that you'll never have to change the temperature by hand. The Nest also has a motion sensor, which can detect when your home is empty and doesn't need to be heated. It also allows you to control your heating via your smart phone, tablet or desktop. The Nest Learning Thermostat can be purchased for £249 (including installation) on Nest's website or as part of an npower's Intelligent Control October 2016 energy plan.
Scottish Power Connect
Connect allows you to control your heating remotely or create a daily schedule, or simply turn it off when you go on holiday. The app, available on iOS and Android (but only to ScottishPower customers), also enables you to "boost" your heating if you need it to be warm in a short space of time. The design also makes it easy to put your current schedule on "hold" should something change. So if, for example, you miss your train home, you can simply pause the schedule to avoid heating up an empty home. Customers can pay an upfront fee of £66 and then a monthly payment of £9.94 per month for two years, or spend £12.69 every month for two years with no other fees.
The tado° device learns from users' behaviour and tries to match your home's temperature to your preferences, in the most energy efficient way possible. When the home is empty, it turns the heating off and when it detects your coming back from work, for example, it begins to turn the heating up. The system also takes into account weather conditions and, according to tado°'s manufacturers, can help users save 26% on their energy bills. The app is available via iOS or Android device. The product will set you back £249 or you can rent it for £6.99 per month. If you opt for the rental plan you will be happy to hear that if you don't save £100 in your first year, you will have one year's rental fees refunded.
Honeywell Evohome
Evohome split your home into various "smart zones", in which you can control the heating individually. For example it's a cold day and you have guests coming round, you can heat up the spare room so they're comfortable when they arrive. Evohome has the usual array of smart thermostat features, including allowing you to remotely control your heating, it can even detect temperature changes, such as an open window, and adapts accordingly. Honeywell's evohome prices start at £249 (installation not included) and a further £70 for each device needed to create a smart zone.

Minerals are the building blocks of rocks – they make up the solid Earth's crust. Understanding Minerals & Crystals takes a close look at minerals, how they form, why they differ and how to go about identifying them.
It begins by examining the nature of atoms and the way they bind together to form minerals with distinctive crystal structures; and it discusses the nature and classification of these crystals, and includes a mineral identification key. The second part of Understanding Minerals & Crystals contains detailed descriptions of some 80 common and important minerals, including how they were named, their properties, ID pointers, uses and where in the world they are found. All are lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs.
Understanding Minerals & Crystals will be invaluable to those interested in any of the earth sciences, or in mineral/crystal collecting – from academics and students to general enthusiasts.

Expat voters flock home to have their say
Expat voters took to social media as they headed home to vote in the referendum.
Various hashtags have appeared on Twitter throughout the day, including #hometovote.
One user, Ali Mason, flew all the way from America to have her say.
She tweeted: "I flew from San Francisco to vote Yes today. No biggie. #hometovote"
Musician Hozier also tweeted a selfie with the caption: "Eire! Have some hrs free, flying in to vote tomorrow. It's the most important thing you'll do. Don't forget! #MarRef"
Pictures showing trains between London to Holyhead packed with people travelling home and queues for flights to Ireland were retweeted thousands of times.
Reuters reporter Naomi O'Leary tweeted "Rousing rendition of 'Ta na gays ag teacht abhaile' fills Holyhead port #hometovote" - a Gaelic phrase which translates "the gays are coming home".
Some people were unable to return to the country in time and - because postal voting was not available - started the hashtag BeMyYes, encouraging others to vote in support of gay marriage.
Actress and singer Susan McFadden tweeted: "Wish I was at home tomorrow to give my YES vote.. Come on Ireland let's show the rest of the world how it's done.. #equality #BeMyYes"
Other Irish celebrities to add their voice to the campaign day included comedian Ed Byrne, who said on twitter: "Right now I'm as far from Ireland as it's possible to be but I'd still like to wish all the yes voters a happy #MarRef day."
UFC title challenger Conor McGregor also tweeted his support for the Yes movement, saying: "Myself and my team are urging everyone to please VOTE YES TO EQUALITY! Every human deserves equal rights #WeAreAllOne".
