Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) has been accepted to G-Cloud 9, further exemplifying Docker's commitment to delivering tools for application modernization and innovation across the UK public sector.
G-Cloud 9 is the UK government's latest framework that is designed to simplify and accelerate adoption of cloud-based services within the public sector. The inclusion of Docker Enterprise Edition subscriptions, training and Professional Services Organization (PSO) within HM Government Crown Commercial Service's (CCS) G-Cloud 9 Framework gives UK public sector organizations the opportunity to procure the de facto container solution through the online store known as the "Digital Marketplace" without needing to run a full tender, competition or lengthy procurement process.
Docker's meteoric rise within enterprise-class business has been built on its ability to be agnostic, agile and secure – whether for hybrid cloud migration, modernizing the application stack or adopting a DevOps methodology.
Bringing application modernization to the public sector
With the UK government's shift to cloud and DevOps, and move away from locked-down IT contracts in favor of smaller suppliers, Docker perfectly addresses these needs by giving UK public sector organizations the ability to innovate, transform, define, select and control their infrastructure. Additionally, these organization can retain staff who now feel engaged as they can run their programs from cradle to grave. Bringing control and ownership back home means CI/CD and agility is being delivered immediately, without third-party influence. UK public sector organizations can now slowly unshackle and loosen themselves from outdated and outsourced delivery models to bring modern services to the public.
Docker Enterprise Edition delivers:
- Choice of infrastructure – Gain the freedom to deploy anywhere today and move apps tomorrow. Docker EE is an infrastructure agnostic platform that can be installed on any physical, virtual or cloud infrastructure;
- Any application – Common packaging with containers, API and tooling allow for commercial ISV apps, homegrown traditional apps and microservices apps to all benefit from a unified supply chain for consistent security, orchestration and management with Docker EE;
- Full stack portability – Docker EE is an application platform allowing developers to define complex service composition, networking, storage, secrets and more at the application level. A separation of concerns allows developers to define app configurations and IT to deploy and manage them on different infrastructures without recoding. Eliminate the "works of my machine" problem, once and for all;
- Extensibility – Docker EE provides open interfaces, drivers, webhooks and plugins to easily integrate to a variety of enterprise systems and processes. Certified plugins and containers provide an extra level of quality and assurance with cooperative vendor support for production environments.
Docker is central to enabling digital transformation programs, as the defacto standard and leading container company globally. That message is getting stronger by the day with Docker reaching more than 12 billion image pulls to date. Additionally, there has been tremendous growth on Docker Store, which includes companies such as Oracle, Microsoft and HPE – with the latter two having OEM agreements with Docker.
UK public sector customers now have the opportunity to replicate the success that the commercial market has experienced with Docker implementations, including Global 2000 companies like MetLife and VISA.
We are delighted that two of our key partners in the UK public sector, Amazic and Quru, have been successful in joining the framework. Both companies have included Docker in their domain expertise as part of their product portfolios.

Example Lesson/
Day 24 - Setting the Table
Ah, the setting of the table. This sounds overwhelming but, hopefully, this lesson will help you remember a few "setting" rules that work for most everyone. First of all, we like to set the plates at a reasonable distance apart. This means not too far and not too close. If they're too far apart, it will make it hard to have conversation and make it difficult to pass things to one another. If they're too close, people's arms, legs and elbows get in the way with each other. So keep this in mind. Now, I'm not going to teach you how to set the table for a fourteen course meal. How often does that happen in our lives? These are instructions for a typical table setting that would be appropriate in most any home, whether for two people or for a dinner party for ten. If you need more formal instruction, there are lots and lots of books on formal table settings that would be fitting to serve the Queen. For the rest of us, here it goes: The dinner plate is on the table, centered to the chair. A salad plate is set on top of the dinner plate. The napkin is simply folded and placed on top of the salad plate. The knives are set to the right of the plate with the cutting edge facing towards the plate. You may set one or two knives, depending on whether you have more than one course that requires a knife. If soup is being served, then a soup spoon is placed on the outside of the knives. The forks are placed on the left side of the plate, with the salad fork being on the outside and main entrée fork being closest to the plate. The way you distinguish between a salad fork and an entrée fork is the number and size of tines ("pointy things on the fork"). The one with shorter or fewer tines, is the salad fork. A water goblet (glass) is placed above the top right of the plate (at 1:00 if your plate were a clock). That's it. Not so hard, is it? Look at the picture on this page and hopefully it will be clearer. Sometimes more than one beverage is served, which requires more glasses. Unique courses, such as appetizers, sometimes require different plates and utensils. However, this is a basic place setting and if you get this much right when you set the table for your family, I'm sure they will be very impressed. Now go home and impress your mom when you volunteer to set the table tonight, and she sees the beautiful result. See you next time.

The Rams started in Cleveland before moving to Los Angeles and then, 18 years ago, to St. Louis. For the franchise's Mt. Rushmore, however, the first stop yields to the last two.
All 12 finalists come from the L.A. or St. Louis eras, with no one from the team's eight-year stint in Ohio (1937-45) sufficiently standing out.

Shares reach record highs both sides of the Atlantic
Shares in London rocketed to levels last seen in early 2008 as strong economic data in Asia and North America and the promise of loose monetary policy lured buyers into equities.
The FTSE 100 jumped 1.4 per cent, or 86.32 points, to 6,431.95, while on Wall Street the Dow Jones industrial average surpassed its previous high, set in 2007, to reach a record of 14,281. Brent crude oil rose to $110.83 a barrel.
The gains were triggered by Chinese pledges to spend more public money in an attempt to hit an unchanged growth target of 7.5 per cent, coupled with news of the strongest services growth in the United States for a year.

By Corinne Dobbas | Tiny Buddha
"The more we see ourselves as a vibrant, successful, inspiring person who boldly declares and manifests her vision, the more we become just that." ~Kristi Bowman
I was kind of a chunky kid growing up.
In my own little world of trolls and playwriting, I didn't notice the chunk. I genuinely liked me. But when I entered the "real world" of opinions, people, and comparison, I began to realize or rather feel that perhaps my body wasn't good enough.
This thought was like a seed that was then planted in my brain. And every time I thought about it, I watered it. Soon enough, that seed sprouted and feelings of not being enough were just a part of who I was.
I was really good at disguising those thoughts, though. Most in my circle had no idea of how I really felt.
To be brutally honest, I didn't even know how I really felt until an event that happened (years later) shined so much light on my deep-rooted feelings of not being enough that I could no longer not acknowledge my feelings. At this point, I fully acknowledged that I had some serious work to do.
The beginning of the event (you'll see why I say beginning shortly) was with a boy. I was in my twenties. We were newly dating. We had just come back to his place after a nice dinner. We kissed. We decided to change and put on some comfy clothes to watch a movie.
While I was changing, a funny, unpleased look washed over his face, and he told me that he was surprised my stomach wasn't really that flat. That I had somewhat of a "muffin top."
I stood there, pulling my shirt over my head, stunned. I didn't know what to say, so I didn't say anything.
After the movie, I left, covered in shame. I felt confused, embarrassed, and alone. Despite all of that, I continued to still see him until he inevitably dumped me a few weeks later.
The real event was my reflection after this relationship ended, when I realized I felt so poorly about myself that I continued to stay with someone who made me feel deep shame. More importantly, I realized that he was just echoing and reflecting back my own feelings of not being good enough.
It was in this moment that I decided I was, in fact, enough, and that things were going to change.
Here's what I did to begin to boost my self-worth and how you can begin to recognize your own worth too.
1. Pretend you are your own best friend.
Simply start to notice what you're saying to yourself. You may be taken aback by how often you're saying unkind things to yourself (I know I was), but know that it's totally normal and part of the process. Allow yourself to observe the thoughts that come up and not judge yourself for having them.
When you notice that you're in this unkind space, ask yourself, "If this were a friend coming to me with these thoughts, my thoughts, what would I say to them?"
This question would always wake me up and radically change my self-talk. I could see how mean I was being to myself. I wouldn't speak to any other human being like I spoke to myself, let alone a friend. You may find this is the same for you.
If this is difficult for you, it may be because you don't think you deserve this level of kindness. First of all, you do. Second of all, you can combat this by choosing to focus on one thing you appreciate about yourself that day. Perhaps you appreciate that you decided to go on a walk even though you didn't want to, or you were kind to your coworker, even though she was being unkind.
Reflecting and recalling things you appreciate about yourself isn't always easy, but the more you practice it, the easier it becomes. And it's in this space you'll begin to see you deserve to be spoken to kindly, just like you would speak to a friend.
2. Surround yourself with people who bring you up.
I was notorious for saying yes when I really wanted to say no. Again, it all boiled down to not valuing my wants, my needs, or myself. The first time I said no (with grace), I was petrified. I was worried the other person would hate me.
Funny thing is, they didn't hate me. They began to respect me more. And the more and more I declined outings, events, dates, work, and time with people who brought me down, the more I made room for the things in my life that made me shine, feel happy, and feel whole.
By feeling this way, I began to really fall in love with myself and appreciate the power I had to make myself feel grounded. I began to feel enough.
And it was during this time that I joined a local yoga studio, signed up for meditation classes, and started regularly hiking. Through these activities, not only did I find self-worth, and myself, but I also began to grow a beautiful support network of likeminded individuals who would eventually become friends.
Related Article: 6 Signs You Have a Strong Friendship That Will Stand the Test of Time
You can do this too. Find and/or make time for activities that bring you joy, and know that a simple hello and a smile can go a long way.
3. Ask close friends or family members what they appreciate about you.
Sometimes (or a lot of the time) a kind word from someone we love and trust can go a long way. Their perspective can also help shed some light on qualities about ourselves we previously dismissed.
And when you have these words in writing, you can pull then out and reread them whenever you feel down.
The email I sent, and that you can send too, went something like this: "As one of the key people in my soul circle, would you mind telling me what you appreciate about me? I'd be so appreciative!"
Try it. Save their words. And reread them when you need them.
4. Get curious about why you're triggered.
We get emotionally triggered for all sorts of things—words, actions, decisions, comments, and the list could go on.
When I got serious about feeling my worth, instead of getting angry with others, situations, or myself when I became emotionally triggered, I got curious and began asking myself what still needed to be healed. By doing this, I was able to really heal my wounds and understand myself better, so the next decision, action, person, or words I chose would lend to better, more loving choices.
For example, comments about how much or how little I would eat triggered me because I thought someone was judging my body.
This observation made me realize I had more healing to do around accepting my body and being grateful for it. So I began to write what I appreciated about my body every day in a journal. Slowly, over time, I came to fully love my body—cellulite, "muffin top," and all.
You can do this too. The first step is simply becoming aware of when you're emotionally triggered, leaning into the "why" behind it all, and seeing what still needs to be healed.
5. Focus on kindness and helping others.
Choosing to switch my focus from "What's wrong with me?" to "How can I give back?" was immensely powerful.
What made me see and feel my worth was helping others—giving a compliment, holding open a door, calling my grandma, starting a random conversation with the woman bagging my groceries, helping an elderly gentleman who had fallen get back up, extending an ear, a hug, and a tissue for a girlfriend after her long hard day.
Related Article: 15 Simple Ways to Spread Kindness in Your World Starting Today
By giving back, even in tiny ways, I saw how much of an impact I had. I saw I mattered. I saw I had the power to create happier moments for others and literally turn frowns upside down. And when you see that you're capable of this, you can't not see that you are worthy and deserving of love, including your own.
You can try this too with as much as a simple genuine compliment.

Bio Class III Isolators
Class III Biosafety isolators are fully enclosed glovebox systems that separate the operator and outside environment from the hazardous materials inside. These systems differ from biosafety cabinets, which are typically modified versions of Class I or II cabinets and therefore not designed for complete containment.
MBRAUN uses a different approach. Our Class III biosafety isolator designs begin with containment as the objective.
All MBRAUN Class III biosafety isolators include:
- A built-in air handling unit with automated pressure control and protection against glove breach via an influx of air at more than 0.7 meter per second
- Ergonomic glove ports for ease of use and extended operator movement
- Double H14 high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration with safe-change filters
- A single-piece welded body with radius ball corners for fast and thorough cleaning
- Hinged window
- Internal metal surfaces of stainless steel grade 316L (1.4404)
- Hinged window
Please contact us if you have questions choosing the right bio-safety isolator system for your specification needs.

It's like summer camp for makin' movies, so I'm happy about it. I like public transportation and wandering around cities. Most of the time, I don't take myself very seriously. Or if you just want to give me something valuable, like eternal wisdom, a free ticket to Paris, or a house.
I am a graduate of Colorado State University, where I double-majored in English and Journalism. This guy comes off as a solid, down-to-earth, sweet gent with a great sense of humor.
He also has tapped into his childlike side, which is always an endearing quality. I absolutely can't stand the taste or smell of bananas. I'm not a picky eater…Rocky Mountain Oysters, Frog Legs, insects, whatever, I'll eat it. Wasteland, by Dan Bern, is the best song of the past 15 years (live version only. I think a lot of maxims are false, including 'Don't knock it 'till you've tried it' and 'fair and balanced' and 'Just Do It' and 'got milk?
This guy is mysterious, compassionate, fun and funny—an irresistible combo to women I just moved back to Australia after finishing ye ol' American Film Institute for screenwriterin'. ' I do believe that 'love conquers all,' but that's because I'm a hopeless romantic. You are beautiful, kind, compassionate, intelligent, witty, wonderful, giving, generous, self-assured, modest, humble, outgoing, shy, etc.
🙂 And last (I promise), if you think that Paris is the most beautiful city in the world, I think you should tell our parents to get ready for the wedding 🙂 I am crazy, stupid, and charming.His confidence comes out through his sense of humor. …nooooo not a BUTT a BUT, as in this is a pretty good profile . Movies: Gladiator, Fight Club, Braveheart, Anchorman! Six Things I Would Never do Without: • Laughter/ comedy • Exercise • Friends • Food • That's none of your business 😉 On a typical Tuesday night I am: Trying to figure out the major and minor products when 1-bromo-2-propene reacts with potassium tert-butoxide.

Oh, and I'm in the fitness biz, as well as back in school finishing up my pre-med reqs. You should message me if you are: Sexy, smart, fit and fun. We like to feel protected by a strong man that will bring home the bacon and make sure we don't get eaten by dinosaurs. I do have a bone to pick with his profile, well a few bones. From all of the other profiles listed, this guy was a "regular Joe" with average looks, but his sense of confidence in what he knew he was looking for in a gal; along with the great many adventures he had been on, gave him a "knight-in-shinning-armor-returning-from-slaying-a-dragon" appeal.

I spent a number of years in my early 20's road tripping and meditating. You can get a grasp of what I'm like from my friends prospective from this quote, and the "raunchy" part I hope is more about my sense of humor. Six things I could never do without: I used to say the ocean/beach, but I've since learned that I would give up the beach for some daily spooning.

|Friends of the Nine
The Crafter's Croft
Resources, OOC and Joining
|The Spade
Elkhelm's Court
IC Quests
OOC, Map and Resources
First, we start with a brief HISTORY of the kin itself. It was first called "The Blade Reforged", and led by Thraindan as an RP crafting kin. Thraindan's player took a break from the game, and the kinship fell into disuse. I, Forsyer, was the third person to inherit leadership for TBR, as the first successor also took an indefinite leave. I asked the founder whether I could use the kin for storing resources for Rising Force. He agreed.
The cosmetic mall was originally only contained within RF housing. I built up most of it, and so I moved it to this kinship and had it renamed, and moved a few of my own houses that were already in close proximity into the kinship. An RF member a while ago had nicknamed this section of the neighborhood "Elkhelm Lane", so I changed the name with the help of Cheyennelynne. When my writing was done, I changed the name to "Elkhelm's Court", to fit the RP nature of the kin while still retaining the vibe of the old name. Court, as in the seat of power for the fiefdom, and court, as a term for a street.
Aaaand then I realised that I almost had enough houses/alt accounts to take over a neighborhood. RF had fell into disuse, so I pulled most of my houses from it and moved all houses to the Harpole neighborhood in the Bree homesteads. I pulled the Spade and Friends of the Nine there as well- and gave Friends of the Nine a backstory, as well as began The Crafter's Croft. That all happened around 9/1/14
The Fall transfers of 2015 moved EC to Landroval. We're currently trying to take over the Harpole neighborhood of Landroval.
A few houses' resources were cleared out in December 2015, forcing changes made to how resources are stored. Now, The Crafter's Croft is where crafting resources are stored, and house owners of crafting material houses are in that kinship. TCC is now an invite-only kinship.
That about brings things up to speed.
I embarked on a writing adventure, which led me to many conclusions. This kinship is one of them. I had decorated it as Rohirrim, and said I'd use it for Feorsyer, but never really did. Now it has a purpose. Now, it fits into Feorsyer's story, and many of my other characters.
I established the Elkhelm's moral code years ago, but it's been long lost, so I'll do my best to recreate it.
Uniform: Feorsyer has also used the idea he implemented in Rising Force of a cloak that identifies kin members: the "Ranger's Cloak of the Rider", as seen in the picture on the ECRP page.
DISCLAIMER: I do not provide plot or character interaction on demand. I developed this RP for myself, and many of the characters fly solo. Plot and character interaction in EC are a privilege, not a right.
If you would like to join any of these kinships, feel free to contact me :) you may join for RP or OOC purposes, or both.
Officers of these kinships are characters that have joined ICly, while recruits are strictly there for OOC purposes.
Elkhelm's Court is the main kinship of these four. Nearly every character interested will be in EC, while still being able to interact with the other kinships' stories and resources.
As of 1/5/2016, The Crafter's Croft holds our crafting materials and permissions to crafting material houses. TCC is invite-only, as members are trusted. Small amounts of TCC resources may be requested of officers.
EC still stores the cosmetic mall.
If you wish to join for RP purposes, please visit the "Citizen Registry" within the forums. Note that I do not provide plot or character interaction on demand. There are long periods of time where I cannot RP, and I cannot predict when those will happen.
Characters within the Elkhelm's Court kinship may be considered citizens; they are not a part of the military unless they apply.
Houses may be claimed for citizens in RP. See the registry for details.
If you wish to join for OOC purposes, or if you simply want access to the resources, you will need to put an alt into Elkhelm's Court. There are simply too many houses now to keep a running permissions list on each one. Resources are FREE to use so long as they are used in moderation, and so long as pieces in the cosmetic mall aren't bound.

How do demographic factors influence the environmental impacts of households? A major two year study used the ecological footprint technique to measure the environmental impacts of over 1000 UK households. Energy and transport were the biggest contributors to the 'footprint' of households. Rural, adult and households with few members had significantly larger per capita ecological footprints than urban/suburban households, households with children and households with several members. Although 11% of these households could be regarded as environmentally sustainable, the majority would require a reduction of 60% in ecological footprint to achieve a globally sustainable footprint per person. Consideration is given to the policy implications of demographic influences on household ecological footprints, including proposed personal carbon allowances.

Splashtop Remote is the clearly the best and most affordable Remote Desktop App for your iPod Touch / iPhone / iPad. There are plenty of remote desktop apps based on VNC and other protocols. But what Splashtop Remote has taken remote desktop sharing to the next level and it is only priced $0.99 which is should be affordable by any standard!
This is one App that you have been waiting for! So what's the most remarkable feature of Splashtop Remote? Well, it not just lets you view your remote desktop for both Windows and Mac based system, but it also lets you to "listen" them. This implies that you can (quoted from Splashtop Remote website)
- Watch videos and play music stored on your PC, whether in iTunes™, Windows® Media Player, or Windows HTPC or XBMC
- Even watch Live TV using Windows Media Center or XBMC
- Play games such as Farmville™ or Bloons™
- Use your regular web browser with Flash
- Work on documents, including Word, Excel, and Powerpoint
- Fully control your PC in any way imaginable
The initial setup needed to start using this software is trivial. Just download the remote desktop application for your PC or Mac, install it, setup the security password, so that there is no possibility of any unauthorized access and you are ready.
Launch the iPod / iPhone / iPad and it would automatically detect the available machines on your Network.
The software which is installed on the desktop does lot of video and audio processing to compress data for smooth streaming, therefore it works well only on dual core or better machines. The audio quality received on the iPod was pristine, as good as if, it were residing locally on the device. Video quality is also more than acceptable. You can use standard gestures and standard pitching action to zoom in and out. This is one great little app that opens up tremendous possibilities. I would say it is live TV, live video, live audio streaming app rolled into a remote desktop app for iTouch / iPad / iPhone!

The splashtop app is certainly a cool concept, but I've heard that it sometimes has issues with lag time if the connection is not via wifi. I'm debating whether it's worth it, or if I should just stick to my desktop based remote desktop application?

West Midlands UKIP MEP James Carver, the alleged victim of racial abuse, says he is extremely disappointed by the reaction of a Black Country Labour MP.
UKIP MEP James Carver has today attacked Dudley North Labour MP Ian Austin, who took to Twitter to question whether police should be spending their time investigating the alleged racial abuse.
Abusive comments were made on Mr Carver's Twitter page earlier this month. The incident was reported to West Mercia Police who are now investigating the matter.
Mr Carver, who is believed to be the only British parliamentarian of Romary heritage, recently attended Worcester Police Station after he received an offensive tweet which questioned his parentage and also used the word p*key.
West Mercia Police say they are taking the matter very seriously.
Despite this, Dudley North MP Ian Austin has questioned, through a Tweet shown below, whether the police should spend time on looking into the matter.

Should hard-pressed police really spend time on sensitive UKIP MEP @JamesJimCarver upset at nasty people on internet? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
Commenting on Mr Austin's reaction on social media, James Carver, said: "Mr Austin is welcome to free speech however, free speech is one thing but racial abuse is something quite different. "I am proud of my Romany heritage so I am extremely disappointed by Mr Austin's Tweet. The police have confirmed that they are taking this matter very seriously. I'm appalled that this Labour MP has failed to recognise the seriousness of these allegations.
"He is clearly rattled by UKIP who are breathing down his neck in Dudley North and his inane tweet, shows his lack of understanding of the issues facing our Roma, Gypsy and Traveller (RGT), communities.
"Mr Austin should think twice before taking to his Twitter account to attempt to raise a misguided party political attack, but instead focus on the real issues behind this abuse. I will be writing to him privately and am happy to meet with him, should he wish to engage with me constructively, on the wider issues that I am raising".

text: Cuphead is a run and gun indie video game developed and published by StudioMDHR. As the title character Cuphead, the player fights a series of bosses in order to repay a debt to the devil. The game was heavily inspired by the rubber hose style of animation used in cartoons of the 1930s, such as the work of studios Fleischer and Walt Disney Animation, seeking to emulate their subversive and surrealist qualities. Cuphead was released on Microsoft Windows and Xbox One on September 29, 2017. Praised for its art style and noted for its challenging difficulty, it sold over one million copies two weeks after release. Cuphead is a run and gun game with role-playing elements, which features a branching level sequence and is based around continuous boss fights.[2][3] Cuphead has infinite lives, keeps weapons between deaths, can continuously fire his blasts and has a quick dash ability that can be used at will.[2] The player can also purchase more weapons and "Charms" from the shop using coins collected from the run-and-gun levels. Charms give the player special abilities like an extra life. Cuphead has a parry ability that, after successfully parrying five times in a row, enables Cuphead to perform a special move. After a level's completion, the player will be ranked with a grade based on their performance (factors including how long it took to beat a boss, how much damage they avoided, etc.). The levels are accessible through a top-down perspective overworld with its own secret areas.[3] The game also has a two-player local cooperative mode that allows another player to play as Mugman.

The Electrical Engineering department at Caltech has a faculty opening, and is targeting machine learning as a key area of interest. Reviewing of applications has just begun (started December 15), but all applications received by January 15th will be reviewed.
Caltech is an extremely small school (~300 faculty total), and departmental boundaries are almost meaningless. I anticipate having many connections to the Electrical Engineering department, so any machine learning person who joins will definitely not feel alone. So please apply if you're interested!

Layton first became involved with SRSB in 2009 when his family were referred by their social worker to the Little Sparklers Playgroup at our centre.
Layton is registered blind, has Cerebral Palsy and also has Hydrocephalus. At one point his family were told that he may not walk and would be bed-bound, but despite these challenges Layton can now walk for about 200 yards and can say a few sentences.
He attended the Little Sparklers group, which is a pre-school playgroup for children with a visual impairment (and their siblings). The group is tailored to the children and their specific requirements. They can play with sensory and stimulating toys such as tactile, fibre optics, cause and effect, dark dens etc. The group also arranges trips to other appropriate services like hydrotherapy pool sessions.
Layton is now at school, and mum Natalie feels that the group helped his development, "They play with toys that have lights and sounds and things that get them to use their eyes a lot more. He really enjoyed going and attended since he was a baby."
Layton is still involved with SRSB as still comes to Children's Parties, Activity Days and Annual Summer Trips. Despite all his problems and all the hospital visits, he remains so cheerful and has a permanent smile! We have all been so inspired by his progress and our staff and volunteers who work with him are really pleased to have played a part in part in this.

Isoxazolines are a potent new class of ectoparasiticides that exhibit their anitparasitic activity through specific blockade of insect GABA- and glutamate-gated chloride channels. Fluralaner (Bravecto®, Merck Animal Heath), afoxolaner (NexGard®, Merial), and sarolaner (Simparica®, Zoetis) are oral isoxazolines approved for the prevention of fleas and ticks in dogs. Mounting clinical experience and several recent studies have illustrated the efficacy of isoxazoline parasiticides for canine demodicosis. Given their ease of use, safety, relative low cost and the potential side effects of other available treatments, many veterinarians and veterinary dermatologists are now reaching for these newer products when treating generalized demodicosis in dogs. Regardless of the selected treatment, miticidal therapy should be continued until at least two consecutive negative skin scrapings are obtained at monthly intervals. Below are brief summaries of the recently published studies.
Fluralaner (Bravecto®):
A recent study of 16 dogs with generalized demodicosis compared the efficacy of Bravecto® given as a single oral dose with three monthly treatments of topical imidacloprid/moxidectin (Advocate®, Bayer) (Fourie et al. 2015). After a single oral administration of Bravecto®, mite numbers in skin scrapings were reduced by 99.8% on Day 28 and by 100% on days 56 and 84; significantly fewer mites were found on Days 56 and 84 on Bravecto® treated dogs compared to Advocate® treated dogs.
Afoxolaner (NexGard®):
In a recent study by Beugnet et al. (2016), eight dogs with generalized demodicosis were treated with NexGard® at the label dose on days 0, 14, 28 and 56. Efficacy was compared with eight dogs on topical imidacloprid/moxidectin (Advocate®, Bayer) applied at the same intervals. The percentage reduction of mite counts in the afoxolaner-treated group were 99.2%, 99.9% and 100% on Days 28, 56 and 84, respectively. Mite reductions were significantly higher on Days 28, 56 and 84 in the afoxolaner-treated group compared to the imidacloprid/moxidectin-treated group. Afoxolaner has also been found to be effective at the label dose when given every 30 days for 3 treatments in 4 dogs with generalized demodicosis (Chavez 2016).
Sarolaner (Simparica®):
Six et al. (2016) compared the efficacy of sarolaner and imidacloprid/moxidectin (Advocate®, Bayer) in sixteen dogs with generalized demodicosis. Eight dogs were treated with sarolaner (2 mg/kg) orally on days 0, 30, and 60 and eight were treated with topical imidacloprid/moxidectin every seven days from day 0 to day 81. In the dogs treated with sarolaner, pretreatment mite counts were reduced by 97.1% at 14 days and 99.8% by 29 days after the first dose. No live mites were detected after day 29.

Second time's the charm - Young carnival bands have good Road March
Carnival in Jamaica 2018 was always poised to be an unforgettable experience for revellers and with three big bands bringing the vibes to the street this year, mas delivered on all counts for participants.
The younger bands Xaymaca and Xodus, both in their second year on the road, got rave reviews from those playing mas.
Lake Sanu, a Xaymacan, travelled all the way from London to jump in Jamaica's carnival and described the experience as simply amazing. Sanu said she had zero regrets about taking the trip to Jamaica.
"This is my second time in Jamaica but my first time in carnival and my friends and I had an amazing time," she said. "Every thing from the costume to our time on the road was just awesome, and I have nothing bad to say about this experience. I definitely want to do this again."
Lisa from New Jersey told The STAR that this was her second time participating in carnival since 1998. Last year, she jumped with Bacchanal but made the switch to Xaymaca.
"It wasn't because I had a bad experience last year or anything. I just heard really good things about Xaymaca and decided to try them out," noting she had a good time. "Carnival in Jamaica needed this (referring to the expansion of bands). It's a really good look for the country and I hope the experience gets better as carnival continues to grow."
Nikey Howard from New York said she does carnival in Trinidad and Tobago every year, and made a vow last year to try the different carnivals across the region.
Last year, she attended Crop Over and this year she decided on Jamaica. She said she was not surprised by how much fun she had.
"I have a friend in New York who has a band in carnival called Crave and they have a section in Xaymaca. I've been to a couple of their events leading up to the parade and I was pleased, so I expected a good time today. I'm not disappointed," she said.
Feters in fellow carnival fledgling band Xodus also gave the thumbs up for Road March 2018.
Shaquanna Goolgar, who was marching for the second time in Jamaica, described it as a nice experience.
"I enjoyed the march, it was full of excitement. The music was good, they could have had some more dancehall," she chuckled.
Jason Walker, a two-time Xodus member, thought the mix of soca and little dancehall was just right. His only complaint was the food.
The lunch could have been a little bit better. They ran out of food at certain areas where we were booked to go through ... but overall it was good. Not complaining," he said.

Depressive symptoms were associated with increased mortality in older women
ACP J Club. 1999 May-June;130:78. doi:10.7326/ACPJC-1999-130-3-078
Source Citation
Whooley MA, Browner WS, for the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures Research Group. Association between depressive symptoms and mortality in older women. Arch Intern Med. 1998 Oct 26;158:2129-35.
Is there an association between depressive symptoms and mortality in older women?
Community-based, cohort study of participants in the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures with a mean follow-up of 6 years.
United States (Baltimore, Maryland; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Portland, Oregon; and Monongahela Valley, Pennsylvania).
7518 of 9704 ambulatory women who were ≥ 65 years of age (mean age 72 y) and were recruited from population-based listings.
Assessment of risk factors
Depression was assessed with the Geriatric Depression Scale (short form). Potential confounding variables (age; marital status; living alone; education; medical history; perceived health status; smoking; alcohol use; use of benzodiazepines, barbiturates, thiazide diuretics, and estrogen; blood pressure; physical activity; body mass index [BMI]; social support; and cognitive function) were also assessed.
Main outcome measures
Mortality was confirmed by death certificates and hospital records. 1 author, who was blinded to risk factor data, classified the cause of death.
Main results
Women with ≥ 6 depressive symptoms were more likely to be older, unmarried, less educated, and physically inactive; to smoke; to report fair or poor health; and to have medical illnesses, worse functional status, impaired cognitive function, and a greater BMI than were women with ≤ 5 depressive symptoms. More deaths occurred in women with ≥ 6 depressive symptoms than in women with ≤ 5 depressive symptoms (24% vs 11%, age-adjusted hazard ratio 2.14, 95% CI 1.75 to 2.61, P < 0.001). After further adjustment for potential confounding variables, the association remained (P = 0.003) (Table). Women with depressive symptoms had an increased risk for death from cardiovascular disease (P = 0.003) and from noncancer and noncardiovascular conditions (P = 0.01) but not for death from cancer (P = 0.93) (Table).
Depressive symptoms were associated with an increased risk for death from all causes, death from cardiovascular disease, and death from noncardiovascular and noncancer conditions in older women.

Table. Association between ≥ 6 depressive symptoms and death at 6 years in older women
|Cause of death
|Adjusted hazard ratio* (95% CI)
|All causes
|1.47 (1.14 to 1.88)
|Cardiovascular disease
|1.8 (1.2 to 2.5)
|Noncardiovascular and noncancer conditions
|1.8 (1.2 to 2.7)
|1.0 (0.6 to 1.7)†
*Adjusted for age, history of myocardial infarction or stroke, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, perceived health, and cognitive
†Not significant.
The prospective cohort study by Whooley and colleagues was large enough to strengthen support for a previously described association between depressive symptoms and increased mortality. Another study found an association between depression and death from coronary heart disease in elderly women but not in men (1). The large number of participants in the current study allowed the authors to adjust for many potentially confounding variables; however, this study was limited to white women. The statistical adjustments help to address the vexing problem that an association between chronic illness and depression might account for the association between depression and mortality. In this study, the association between depressive symptoms and mortality was weaker than that reported in other studies but remained statistically significant after adjustment for the presence of chronic illnesses. Despite recent studies that showed an association between depressive symptoms and cancer incidence in the elderly (2), death from cancer was not increased in this study.
The presence of an association does not prove a causal relation. No evidence exists to show that treating depression reduces mortality. Nevertheless, strong evidence supports other reasons to aggressively treat depression in older persons (3). The association between the presence of depressive symptoms and increased mortality further supports a link between emotion and resistance to disease.

"Most Powerful Pages on the Planet"
KwazaaFest 2008
Festival Raises Black Heath Awareness, Economic Power Potential
Darwin Campbell
DALLAS-For the 18th year, the KwanzaaFest celebration expects to draw thousands with the promise of providing quality family entertainment and programs of cultural, eduicational and social significance.
Spearheaded by Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price, the celebration will be Saturday, December 13 from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and again on Sunday, December 14 from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Automobile Building at Fair Park.
The celebration (which is free to the general public) attracts thousands of local, regional and national participants, vendors and sponsors. Each year, event organizers, who volunteer their time, earmark thousands of dollars and rely on corporate entities to help underwrite the cost. Estimated attendees for both days exceeded 50,000 in 2007.
Much of the celebration is aimed at improving the overall health awareness of the African-American community and offer opportunities to generate extensive exposure for sponsors, vendors, and entertainers via name and product recognition.
For the past 20 years, obesity has been on the rise.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 30-percent of U.S. adults, 20 years of age and older-over 60 million people are obese.
This increase is not limited to adults. The percentage of young people who are overweight has more than tripled since 1980. Among children and teens aged 6-19 years, 16 percent (over 9 million young people) are considered overweight. As a result, these increases placed our community at risk for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and a variety of other diseases and illnesses.
HealthFest includes more than 30 healthcare entities that render FREE services to individuals attending KwanzaaFest on Saturday from 10a.m to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 11a.m. to 6 p.m.

Some of the services provided during KwanzaaFest include:
Breast Cancer screening, Alzheimer's Disease Memory screening, Blood Drive, Weight and height screening, sickel cell anemia trait screening, cholesteral screening Diabetes screening and HIV rapid testing, vision screening, stroke and prostrate screening and many other health related checkups.
The third annual KwanzaaFest Beat Obesity 5K Walk/Run will also take place on December 13.
This is a remarkable occasion to inspire and be inspired by hundreds of individuals who are walking, or even running, to increase the awareness of obesity and its health related problems.
Kwanzaafest also creates a distinctive opportunity for those who participate to support this widely observed and liberating observance. shop with local independent business vendors in the community.
Other family activities include KidFest/TeenFest. It provides alternative entertainment or the entire family simultaneously during the KidFest KwanzaaFest weekend. KidFest/TeenFest has become a favorite family event, drawing thousands of parents and children each year.
KidFest/TeenFest also features:
Live state performances, safety programs for the home, arts and crafts, kids and cops, creative art classes, face painting and ballon art and theatrical African storytelling and other activities for youth and teens.
·Also new this year to the festival is the Kwazaafest Oncor Encore Great Debate Contest The debate competition will feature some 13 participating cities and their respected high schools whose top students (team) will debate on a variety of cultural and liberating topics affecting us today.
In the spirit of Kujichagulia, entertainment is always provided by individuals, aspiring artists, local schools, churches and social organizations as a form of self expression. KwanzaaFest's entertainment includes R&B, Old School, Jazz, Gospel, Dancing, Acting, Fashion Shows, African Dancers, Drummers, Debate Contest, and professional groups.
National Talent and Artists are secured by local radio stations and performances are for both days of the festival.
A few of the past and previously featured artists include: Freddie Jackson, Karen White, Usher, Howard Hewett, Twista, Guerrella Black, Profyle Group, Tevin Campbell, KeKe Wyatt, Avant, Alecia Keys, Tyrese, Omarion, Marques Houston, Mike Jones, Ludacris, God's Property, Nivea, Trillvile, T Pain, Paul Wall, Jaheim, Plies, Mario, Cassidy, The Dream, Ann Nesby, Elisabeth Withers, B5, Birdman, Trey Songz, Gorilla Zoe, Ledisi, and Jon B.
KwanzaaFest continues to reach an array of conscientious consumers.

What is the Aura?
The aura is the energy field emanating from all living beings. It is composed of many layers and it is important that they are balanced and radiant for our wellbeing. Our defense system tends to behave always in the same way, as a reaction to disturbing encounters in our daily lives, repeatedly creating similar blocks in our bodies.
How do Auric sprays work?
The molecular vibrations of crystals are passed into pure spring water and into your auric field inviting your energy to step into this vibration, creating harmony and balance. In time this blocking reaction gradually reduces, although at the beginning the body may still want to return to its usual defensive state. The process of healing takes some time to anchor.
Each spray contains a specific crystal formula that carries a certain healing vibration to tune into. Check the options available to see which one is best for you!
When to use it
- During meditation or yoga.
- To clear homes or public spaces.
- On your pillow before sleeping.
- Spray it on your altar.
- When waking up and before bed.
- When doing healing work, to help anchor the process.
Use them as you're inspired, the possibilities are endless!
Our products are all handmade with the finest quality crystals, Certified Organic Essential oils on a base of pure water from a natural spring of one of Bali's revered volcanoes where the water is fully charged with its natural life force. The water (Tirta) is very important to the people of Bali, one of the most important sacred objects (together with flowers) used in everyday Balinese life.
Crystals used go through a thorough cleansing protocol of sun and moonlight, and seawater and rest. Cleansed, programmed and activated to recall their natural life force and to attain the Sprays' objective.
Balipura water is cleansed by a UV Water purification system, which takes away 99,9% of harmful micro organisms, avoiding the need of chemicals or heat. It also goes through a process of energetic cleansing.
The water is then infused with Balipura Transfer Method™, where the water is never in direct contact with the Crystals, but infused through a process that multiplies the energy making it several times stronger than direct infusion. The infusion rests under the phases of the moon for a number of days.
Energetic Healing and Sound & Vibrational Healing are applied.
The production process is finished with a special Balinese Ceremony performed by a Balinese Priest to strengthen and to elevate the healing vibration of the sprays. This ceremony is celebrated under the full moon.
There is Palo Santo (sacred wood) from Peru, flowers, incense and candles always involved during production and all the production is handled in glass containers.
Production is made under our specific Balipura protocol and always approached under a meditative state.
Our products are all natural and haven't been tested on animals.
Water, Grain Alcohol, 100% Pure Essential oils, Bach Flowers, homemade extracts.
Each spray is handmade with the finest quality crystals (they are cleansed, activated and charged with its original life force) & Certified Organic Pure Essential Oils. All Auric Sprays receive a special Balinese Ceremony blessing and are immersed in a vibrational & sound-healing process, on a base of energetically cleansed spring water from our own natural spring in the heart of Bali's volcanic mountains.
We receive a certificate of authenticity for all the essential oils we use.

BUT, I have bounced back and I am, as usual, filling up my time with too many hobbies. My latest obsession is to teach myself to draw the figure from memory in any perspective and it ain't easy folks but hugely absorbing. Must get myself a good book on anatomy for artists so I will know what I am trying to draw!
Etegami making has slowed after the orgy of card sending and receiving that is New Year but I have made a couple in the last two weeks, now I just have to figure out how to make the nude a subject of etegami and I can combine my two current crazes.
This weekend is the inaugural Urban Sketchers Newcastle meeting with a group coming from Sydney to kick start the locals. It may need a big kick but wish us luck and good weather for Saturday.

Churrasco de Sao Paolo al la Parilla con Chimichurri Rojo
- Yield
- Makes 4 servings
- 1 recipe Chimichurri Rojo
- Two 1-pound skirt steaks
- 1/4 cup assorted olives, pitted and chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced Italian parsley leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly toasted and ground black pepper, to taste
- Prepare the Chimichurri Rojo, and then pour 2/3 cup of it into a resealable plastic bag and combine with the skirt steaks. (Reserve the rest of the sauce to use as a condiment.) Refrigerate overnight.
- To cook the steaks, prepare a medium-hot grill.
- Remove steaks from the marinade, and grill to desired doneness. (Because they are thin and have been marinated overnight, they will cook very quickly.)
- Divide each steak into two, and place each in the center of a warm plate. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle chopped olives and minced parsley over each steak. Serve with the reserved Chimichurri Rojo on the side.

End Of A Year will soon be releasing a new 7-inch and first in their Island Series of recordings. "I'm Going Through Some Shit" and "All Fruit Is Ripe" were recorded at Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, the studio founded by Bob Marley. Vocalist Patrick Kindlon explained the move as well as some future plans for the series:
"We like reggae and we like music history and it beats the shit out of going to one of the same five studios every band in the US insists on using. … So begins our 'Island Sessions' series of singles. Once a year we'll record a couple songs on an island. This year Jamaica, next year, I dunno, England? Haiti? Clerke Rocks? We'll try to do mix of famous studios and lesser-known spots. Anyone know anyone in Madripoor?"

And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. - Malachi 4:6
Unfortunately the hearts of the children have not yet been turned to the fathers in Denver. Since I can't be home this holiday weekend I took a drive through the oldest and largest cemetery in Denver. I'm shocked at the lack of flowers decorating the graves of loved ones. Only about 10% of the graves had flowers to indicate that they were remembered, and grocery stores do not have plats of mums on sale. I've always loved cemeteries. They feel like sacred places to me, full of stories. I considered continuing my family's Cache Valley tradition of adopting a forgotten grave and making sure that it is decorated each year, but with tens of thousands of lonely headstones on memorial weekend it seems futile.
Thankfully the veterans are remembered with flags, but no flowers from the families they were torn from. For those of you in Utah, where Memorial Day is marked with trips to multiple cemeteries dripping with flowers and visiting families, be grateful that you live in a place where people still care about their heritage.

Canon SELPHY CP910 review: print photos from your smartphone wherever you are, with this compact photo printer
Canon's chic little SELPHY CP910 is an upgrade of the CP900 photo printer they released in 2012 and has been issued in attractive glossy black or white editions. It's extremely lightweight (810g without the ink cartridge) and can easily be slipped into a ruck sack or overnight bag as it measures only 178 x 127 x 60.5mm.
Preparing to use the Canon SELPHY CP910 printer is comparatively simple. Simply drop down the side panel and slot in the cartridge. Then fill up the supplied plastic paper cassette with the required media, lower the front panel and click it into place.
The first incarnation of this model - the Selphy CP800 - made the mistake of omitting Wi-Fi connectivity and while the SELPHY CP900 attempted to correct this by including Wi-Fi printing, you still couldn't use Wi-Fi Direct. With the SELPHY CP910 Canon has finally got it right and you can now print from an iOS, Android or Windows RT device by downloading the Canon Easy-PhotoPrint app and scrolling through the menu on the 2.7in colour display to the Direct Connection option. Set your smartphone's Wi-Fi settings to the revealed SSID and enter the password and you're ready to rumble.
The USB port on the side will allow for PC or Mac connection or for flash drives and PictBridge printing and SD card photos can be accessed via the slot on the front. The control buttons and menus are extremely user-friendly and the LCD can be tilted to 45 degrees for better viewing.
Print times on the CP910 remain the same as before - in other words a slightly sluggish 47 seconds for a postcode size photo and just under 30 seconds for credit card images and mini stickers. This is mainly because you have to do several passes with the dye-sublimation thermal transfer printing system to arrive at the finished article.
The quality of the photos remains impressive, though, with sharp definition and true colours throughout. A certain amount of onboard editing allows you to achieve smooth skin, correct red-eye and even opt for sepia or monochrome prints, plus you can create ID photos of varying sizes.
The Canon 4 x 6" ink and paper set KP-1081N will deliver 108 prints for £34 (or £25.34 on Amazon) and an optional battery unit will officially set you back £80 and will provide 36 prints per charge.

I had posted this earlier this month about something called The Book 100. Basically, it's a list of 100 books that are within a genre in which you are personally interested in writing. I cheated a little a chose sci-fiction/fantasy and will be reading fifty books from each genre. Rather than a challenge, I'm considering this to be a goal, instead, which will be kept track of in the "Extras" section of my blog. There's no time limit or time frame, just an eventual goal of 100 books.
I've also decided that, rather than compile a list ahead of time, I'm just going to add books to my list as I read them until I have fifty of each. It saves me time and makes this a lot more fun and spontaneous. Keep checking back to see my reviews of these books.

The Book 100: Update
2 comments:
Glad to hear this is going well! How are you keeping track of your books? I kept notecards on each book with a brief summary and other details that I may have admired (or disliked). I'll forget those things otherwise!ReplyDelete
-Miss GOP
You know, I hadn't thought about that. Obviously I'll have my reviews on this blog, but I like the notecard idea, too. Thanks for the tip!ReplyDelete

A struggle for self-identity forms the core of this crowded novel, the latest entry in Kenneally's Hundred Oaks series.
Kate is spending her summer working as a counselor at a church-run camp. She's still reeling from her decision to help her best friend Emily get an abortion and hopes that in the mountains of Tennessee, she will get a sign that God forgives her. With a camp director who singles her out unfairly, counselors who don't act very Christian in Kate's judgmental opinion and the end of her friendship with Emily, there's only one thing that's going right: Kate's blossoming relationship with Matt, the boy who gave Kate her first kiss years ago at camp. Matt is charming, sweet and clearly crazy about her. But the way Matt makes Kate feel contradicts everything she's learned in church. If Kate wants to have friends and love, she'll have to decide what she believes. Kate's sheltered worldview is well-drawn, and the hesitant first steps on her spiritual journey are handled sensitively. There are more characters than necessary, especially with characters from Kenneally's other books making appearances, as well as too many issues, such as abortion, parental abuse and gay relationships, giving the story a kitchen-sink feel.
That said, Kate's growth will keep readers, Christian or otherwise, reading. (Fiction. 14 & up)

Creating Smiles
Fifth grade student, Olivia Dudas is a rock star when it comes to caring for others! In November, she decided that she wanted to do something different for the holiday season.
"Olivia saw on the news that the Pacers were visiting Riley Children's Hospital and the nurse mentioned that it was nice to see the children smile. Olivia then came up with the idea for The Traveling Bag of Kindness," said Olivia's mom Andrea Dudas.
"Giant gift bags were distributed to family and friends with items that they thought a child of any age would need. Then the bag was passed on to a friend, and they would do the same. The bags traveled from friend to friend filling up along the way," Mom added.
The Traveling Bags of Kindness were also in Delaware and Columbus OH, Georgia and Florida as Olivia had people who wanted to start it in their hometown to honor her endeavor. Olivia ended up with 63 bags, a large box of diapers, two scooters and three boxes of books that she delivered to Genesis. In addition, there were four bags that she delivered to Riley Hospital.
As word spread of her project, The Traveling Bags of Kindness began receiving publicity from Richmond area newspaper and radio stations. Then it spread further and was picked up by newspapers across the country and NBC's The Today Show. Since that time, Olivia has been contacted by Elizabeth Higgins Clark. Clark is involved with the #keepamericakind project and is also an actress. She had read the article about Olivia and wanted to inspire Olivia to keep it going into 2017. Clark has challenged Olivia to continue the kindness, and is sending her valentines to hand out. Olivia has taken it a step further and is starting a new project to spread kindness.
Olivia's goal is to deliver homemade valentine cards to area nursing home residents. Her mother reports, "We are going to put the call out over Facebook today. Our goal is to have 1,000 valentines that way every resident will get one. We are also asking for volunteers not only to make the cards, but be our delivery helpers."
And dropping them off at the front desk won't be enough. The goal is to personally deliver them to each area resident.
Do you want to share in Olivia's kindness this valentine season? You can make and drop off homemade valentines on or before February 10 to RMD Patti, 36 South 9th Street in Richmond. The delivery date will be Sunday, February 12. Any extra valentines will be sent to Riley Children's Hospital. If you are interested in making the cards or delivering, them they can email

Florio previewed the division for PFT Live and he's not too excited about the dream team.

From our sister blog, Bits—
Sprint today said it plans to begin selling its much-hyped Palm Pre on June 6. The timing could be risky.
At least that's the theory of some industry analysts, who note that Apple may well announce a new iPhone two days later at its Worldwide Developer's Conference. The near-overlap in timing could take some of the momentum out of the Pre hype machine and get the blogosphere and the early adopters buzzing about Apple, not Palm.
If Apple does announce a new phone on June 8 (a matter of widespread speculation) then "Sprint at least will have center stage for a few days before they're swamped," said Charles Wolf, a telecommunications industry analyst with Needham & Company, referring to the attention Apple might receive.

Once again, I am back with another article that is not a story. I don't really care, you'll have to suffer me like this. So, we're talking about android apps. There are so many of them that it is difficult for anyone to make sense of the Google Play Store and find the apps that can rizzle yo shizzle (whatever that means). So, without further ado, here are five apps that help me be productive n shit. I own an Xperia Mini Pro running Gingerbread, but it's soon going to be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich, so yeah, apps! Here goes:
1) Zeam Launcher - I like this one of all the launchers out there, because it's simple. Does what it says, doesn't take too much space and is pretty much a no-nonsense launcher.
2) Memoires - There are many diary apps in the market, and I've probably used all of them. But I recently started using this one. Very nice interface, good choice of fonts, plus ability to add tags and I didn't see any adverts. I was using diaro earlier but have successfully made transition to this one.
3) Little Photo - When you say filters, the first thing anyone would think of is Instagram. Little Photo is not Instagram. It's just an app with LOT of filters. And in my experience with the filter apps, this beats all of them hands down. There are just too many filters in this app. All are easy to apply, the end product looks awesome, and well, you can share it on Facebook or Twitter or wherever you like later. The interface of this app can use an uplift, but for the functionality it provides, interface can be excused.
4) Instacamera - Now, the thing with most camera apps is that you launch the app, wait a second or two for the camera to load (if your phone is fast) and then click the shutter, camera focuses and by then the moment has passed you by miles. SO, in comes InstaCamera. Put the widget on the screen, point the camera at what you want to click, tap the widget, and it saves the picture. None of that autofocus or launching camera bullshit. Even the settings for this app are a new icon in the app drawer. Great app, I love it.
5) Awesome Wallpaper - If you ask me, I love new wallpapers for my phone's screen. Some just put a smile on my face on a dull day or some shit like that. But most are well clicked pics that are minimal in nature. Now what I do here is that I download a wallpaper from this app, then process it through Little Photo mentioned above to give the wallpaper a whole different look. It looks great, looks unique and fits my idiotic sense of amusement.
Yeah, so these are my favorite apps, I use these a lot. I hope you find these useful.
What are your favorite apps? Drop me a line in comments, or as always, hit me up on Twitter, @69fubar
(Disclaimer: Just sharing these apps cuz I like them. No kind of monetary compensation from them to me, but if you can support the developers in anyway, please do so.)

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Four suspects are in jail and a fifth is in the hospital after a home invasion overnight in Wilmington.
Police have arrested: Angel Domonique Myers, 18, Jay Jawan Cromartie, 23, Jamaar Tyree Walker, 19, and Michael Alexander Betrand 20.
Police also have warrants for the fifth suspect Jamar Hakeen Gordon, 27, of Leland. Gordon was wounded during the invasion and is now hospitalized.
The suspects face multiple charges, including first degree burglary, attempted armed robbery, second degree kidnapping, conspiracy to commit armed robbery and one charge of firearm by a felon.
Police say the suspects broke into a home at 1901 Colwell Ave. just after midnight. Callers told dispatch they heard a gunshot go off inside the home. When officers arrived they found a shotgun and blood on the floor. Investigators say during the invasion one of the victims shot Gordon. No charges are being filed against the resident.
Investigators received information on the suspect vehicle and tracked the suspects to the intersection of South 16th Street and Robin Hood Lane. Police found four of the suspects in the vehicle with guns. All four suspects are in the New Hanover County Jail.
