Mitigate Mobile Cross-platform Headaches
Android is now the most widely used mobile operating system in both the United States and the world , according to the research firms Canalys and Nielsen. But behind that news lurk a lot of headaches for enterprise developers.
For example, 48 percent of U.S. smartphones run Android. So unless an enterprise is comfortable alienating 1 out of every 2employees or customers, its developers have to create apps for at least iOS, BlackBerry or Windows Mobile. If that enterprise is multinational, then its developers can add Symbian to their to-do list.
"We have European customers that say: `We know Symbian is going to die. It might take five years, but in the meantime, a large percentage of our workers have Symbian phones,`" says Adam Blum, CEO of Rhomobile, which provides development tools.
If that weren`t enough work for developers, there`s also fragmentation within some operating systems. For example, each Android smartphone vendor often has a unique implementation of the OS, while differences in screen size and resolution create additional variables that affect an app`s user experience.
Web or Native?
Some developers sidestep fragmentation by using "Web services" or "Web apps," which consists of taking the phone`s browser and stripping off the user interface so it appears to be an app. One drawback is that the browser isn`t always able to access phone hardware, such as the GPS radio or accelerometer, thus limiting what this pseudo app can do.
"This is a very valid approach if you do not need to do anything fancy," says Vince Chavy, product management director at RADVISION, a videoconferencing vendor whose portfolio includes endpoint apps that run on Android and iOS devices. "It is easy, and it is quite amazing what you can do with HTML5 and CSS nowadays."
Some enterprises like Web apps because they leverage their developers` existing skills. "What we always hear is, `Because my developers have Web skills, you get all that productivity and affordability across all phones,`" says Blum.
The alternative is a "native app," whose benefits include better performance because the software doesn`t have to pull everything from the Web. If the target audience is made up of customers rather than employees, then another benefit is that native apps can be distributed through app stores.
"You will be closer to the look and feel of the device," says Chavy. "You are only limited by your imagination and the OS SDK APIs."
Write Once, Run Many
The big downside to native apps is that code for one OS version can`t be reused to create other OS versions. The corollary to that requirement is that if the enterprise doesn`t have developers versed in all of the major codes, it has to find them, which increases costs and lead time. "You need a different code base for iOS and Android," says Chavy. "You need to find Objective C developers for your IOS client and Java/Android developers for the Android client. Those are tough to find!"
Hence the growing selection of tools that enable cross-platform app development, such as MoSync , PhoneGap and Rhodes .
"You develop in C/C++," says Henrik von Schoultz, MoSync co-founder and vice president of marketing and sales. "We will later also use other languages, like JavaScript and Lua. The developer uses MoSync APIs, and at build time we use an intermediate language and have profiles for your target devices. We compile native to the OS you want to target.
"If a feature does not exist on an OS, the system tries to handle that. For example, if the target device doesn`t have GPS, you may use positioning from the cell towers."
So how much time could a developer reasonably expect to save by using MoSync versus developing from scratch for each OS? It depends, but in one case, a developer went from Symbian to Android in about four hours . "If you have an app with loads of logic and not so much UI, you can save up to 80 percent," says von Schoultz. "But if it`s a very UI-intense app, you may save maybe 30 percent."
PhoneGap, meanwhile, emphasizes the importance of having both apps and a mobile-friendly website.
One Size Doesn`t Fit All
Tablets and smartphones come in an ever-increasing range of screen sizes and resolutions. As a result, developers also have to ensure that their app looks and works just as well on a 3.5-inch display as a 4.3-inch display, or on both an Android phone and an Android tablet.
"The first decision is if you want the same GUI on the phone and on the tablet," says Chavy. "Some developers decide to have the same UX. In that case, they just make sure that when they design the GUI, it can resize nicely by deciding on which area resizes and by setting proper anchors on the objects.
The catch is that consumers and business users increasingly expect tablet apps to take advantage of the extra screen space.
"For example, in our SCOPIA Mobile application, on the phone, you can see the video or the presentation, and not both at the same time," says Chavy. "On the tablet, since you have a bigger screen, we have layouts with both the video and the presentation."

Patients lost to follow-up varied across studies. Two studies showed a low risk of bias in this domain: one of them reported one loss in the control group, which constituted 2.5% of the sample (
Badgley MischkaBankston smtiJm2
); whereas the other study reported 11% and 10% losses to follow-up in the experimental and control groups, respectively, for similar reasons in both groups ( Nishijima 2007 ). The two other studies showed a high risk of bias in this regard as one of them had different loss rates between the groups (9.2% in the experimental group and 3.7% in the control group) ( AriatCatalyst VX Defiant 8 GTX 400G Ic3Dy
), while the other reported high rates of losses in both groups (43% in the experimental group and 26% in the control group) ( Foot PetalsTechnogel Tip Toes for Flip Flops 6ZGGTM6G
). None of the four studies reported an intention-to-treat analysis.
Three of the included studies showed a low risk of bias in this respect as they all described the results obtained for each of the outcomes included in the objectives or the methods section (
Fukahori 1999
Mendivil 2006
Nishijima 2007
). The other study had a high risk of bias because it presented the results as differences between the initial and final values (
Vasque Breeze 30 Low GORETEX Hiking Shoe Womens RA03anXU
We could not conduct a meta-analysis due to the clinical heterogeneity, with different interventions (setting, type and intensity of exercise) and outcome measurements reported in the trials. Moreover, the risk of bias was high for all the identified studies.
None of the four included studies considered all-cause or cardiovascular mortality as outcomes.
None of the four included studies considered any cardiovascular event, such as acute myocardial infarction or stroke, as an outcome.
Two studies considered total cardiovascular risk as an outcome. There appeared to be no significant differences between the study groups ( Mendivil 2006 , Hellenius 1993 ). One of the studies reported an 8.38% (standard error (SE) 1.1) and 10.71% (SE 1.5) average probability of suffering a cardiovascular event at 10 years after the 16-week follow-up in the experimental and the control groups, respectively (P = 0.054) ( Mendivil 2006 ).
The other study, which did not describe the baseline values for the total cardiovascular risk, only reported the differences observed in each group: -0.87% (95% CI -1.57 to -0.17) in the exercise group versus 0.21% (95% CI -0.52 to 0.94) in the control group. Additionally, the average 10-year Framingham risk score by the end of the six months of intervention was estimated to be 8.8% (95% CI 5.5 to 12.5) in the exercise group and 9.1% (95% CI 6 to 13.5) in the control group. The differences between groups were not significant ( Hellenius 1993 ).
Clarifai's Android SDK enables machine learning directly on your device, bypassing the traditional requirement of internet connectivity and extensive computing power. It makes it easy to use image and video recognition on device and in real-time.
The Android SDK is currently available in Private Beta. You can get more information about the program here.
Since the Android SDK is in a Private Beta program, you need to apply to get access. Once you are accepted into the program, you will receive email instructions on how to install the SDK and get setup.
In order to run the SDK, you would require a Clarifai account. Please create one here before proceeding with this guide.
Clarifai Android SDK supports applications running on Android API 21 (Version 5.0 "Lollipop"), or later.
The Clarifai SDK is initialized by calling
Clarifai.start(applicationContext, apiKey);
within the
package. We recommend starting it when your app has finished launching, but that is not absolutely required. Furthermore, work is offloaded to background threads, so there should be little to no impact on the launching of your app.
The SDK is built around a simple idea. You give inputs (images) to the library and it returns predictions (concepts). You need to add inputs to make predictions on it.,
All inputs are created from a DataAsset object in the Android SDK. A Data Asset is a container for the asset in question, plus metadata related to it. You can create a DataAsset initialized with an Image on Device or from a URL as shown in the example below.
Clarifai has a variety of Pre-Built Models to predict against. Android SDK currently supports
General Model
only to be loaded on device. As the product evolves, more Pre-Built models will be added to the SDK. The sample code below shows how to load the
General Model
and make a prediction against it.
Just as with our API, you can use the predict functionality on device with any of our available Pre-Built Models. Predictions generate outputs. An output has a similar structure to an input. It contains a data asset and concepts. The concepts associated with an output contain the predictions and their respective score (degree of confidence.)
The API is built around a simple idea. You send inputs (images) to the service and it returns predictions. In addition to receiving predictions on inputs, you can also 'save' inputs and their predictions to later search against. You can also 'save' inputs with concepts to later train your own model.

I'm just wondering.....do we have anything but this kid's relatives and a very one sided newspaper article to back the circumstances being described for the photo? A photo can be worth a thousand words and a caption can contain a lie for every word it has.
Absolutely Zero evidence in the picture to support anything the article is claiming. A little proof beyond words....beyond the claims of parents who hate the Israelis so much it vibrates. That's all I ask...and in this case, it's what is entirely missing. My opinion.. Of course and as always.
Israeli human rights activists have accused border police of using a 13-year-old Palestinian as a human shield.
Rabbis for Human Rights say that Mohammed Badwan was tied by police to a jeep during a recent demonstration in the West Bank village of Bidou.
The police apparently hoped this would stop Palestinians from throwing stones during a protest against Israel's West Bank barrier.
Israel's Supreme Court banned the use of human shields in 2002.
Rabbis for Human Rights also say that the boy was beaten by Israeli police before being arrested.
Israeli police spokesman Gil Kleiman said: "It's unclear what happened, we do not expose civilians to physical damage willingly."
The case is to be investigated by the Israeli Justice Ministry.
Mohammed later told the Reuters news agency: "I was scared when they got me at first, I thought they would put me in prison. I was scared a stone would hit me."
Mohammed's father, Saeed, said: "When I saw him on the hood of the jeep, my whole mind went crazy - he was shivering from fear."
Rabbis for Human Rights director Rabbi Arik Ascherman was detained by police when he tried to intervene to help Mohammed.
"It is very sad to see that we have come to this position. There is disbelief," Rabbi Ascherman said.

Some people have to learn the hardway, theyre blessed with being meatheads. If i threw a rock at someone and hit them when i was a kid, my dad would throw a rock and hit me with it showing me how it feels. The lesson i would take away would be "man that hurt, i don't want to do that again, that musta been what it felt like to them".
Being lenient with certain people (especially kids) shows them you are a weak minded individual and they will walk all over you until you nut up. Kids only understand one thing. Pain.
How is this right??? No one seems to be able to answer this question.
In this scenario I do not know what you are trying to get at.... did that boy tie some kid to a car??? since he tied someone to a car is that why they tied him to a car??? Oh it was rock throwing soo why didn't they just chuck a rock back at him???

1980 Miracle on Ice: Greatest Moment in Sports History Will Never Get OldFebruary 22, 2011
Today marks the 31st anniversary of the Miracle on Ice, the fairytale story of the very amateur 1980 United States hockey team and their impossible defeat of the not-so-amateur powerhouse Soviet Union.
A story that every hockey fan, every American, knows by heart.
The story of the United States Olympic Hockey team has translated into feature films, documentaries and books. As the date nears, we are reminded of the events, especially if it falls during the Winter Olympics. Heroes of the team often make appearances at NHL events and, as hockey fans, there isn't a long period of time that passes without some mention of the miracle in the NHL world.
Yet no matter how many times the story is mentioned casually in hockey talk, no matter how many times they show the clips of those final 10 seconds of the game and no matter how many times the words "underdog" or "adversity" are mentioned to the point of overuse, it will never get old.
The miracle may have happened over three decades ago, but it continues to ring loudly in the hearts of Americans as if the initial celebration was still carrying on in the streets of Lake Placid that were bursting with national pride.
Sports have a uniting factor on countries around the world and the United States is no different. A look into our history and you will find plenty of moments where Americans stood together to chant "U-S-A, U-S-A!" to those chosen to represent our country. These moments include Landon Donovan's lone goal against Algeria in the 2010 World Cup, the moment Michael Phelps won a record eight gold medals in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and Lance Armstrong's miraculous defeat of cancer and his comeback to win seven consecutive Tour de France's.
Amidst those times of pure elation and celebration, we realize some moments are far greater than ourselves and will carry so much more meaning than what we may simply see with our eyes.
The United States hockey team's defeat of the Soviet Union was just that. It wasn't just a hockey game.
It was so much more.
The Cold War had wrapped its chains around both stagnant countries with concerned citizens of both countries waiting to see when one side would make the first move.
In the meantime, the economy was sputtering along. Interest rates were through the roof and gas prices steadily increased, as did the lines in gas stations.
Morale was at an all-time low and Americans, divided because of the turmoil inside and outside of the border, needed something to bring them back together.
This is where the United States hockey team came into play—a group of talented yet average players attempting to do the impossible.
They were America's answer to the frustrating events of the times.
It's easy to say the miracle that blossomed from their glorious moment had to do with the group of young amateurs beating a team of professionals on the greatest of stages. The real miracle, though, was the newfound hope generated by the moment, that feeling that something good finally happened to a country waiting for something to pull them out of the darkness.
The fact that the victory was against the Soviet Union was the cherry on top. Shakespeare couldn't have scripted the moment better.
What's more perfect is that there will never be a moment like it again.
America isn't some kind of hockey superpower (yet), so to make that claim is certainly a big deal. Surely most would assume that the greatest hockey moment would belong to Canada or Russia, countries that have consistently remained at the top of the totem pole in terms of anything related to hockey.
There have been times where I noticed Canadians joking about how the 1980 win is all the USA has and will have because Canada will wipe the kitchen floor against future American teams. Call it a cop out, call it an excuse, but whether those words ring true doesn't matter to me because there is nothing that can take away from that moment, regardless of an abundance, or lack thereof, of future success.
In last year's Winter Olympics, not much was made of the United States hockey team put together by Brian Burke despite the 100-percent participation of NHL players. The ideal match up was Canada vs. Russia.
Sidney Crosby vs. Alex Ovechkin, 2.0.
However, the Americans went through the round-robin tournament quietly going undefeated and slamming the door shut on the Canadians to seal the first seed.
The stunning win that silenced all of Canada ironically took place the evening before the 30th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice. The connections between the two were immediately made.
Ultimately, the connections were forced and very weak because the Americans, while underdogs, were also professional athletes just like the Canadians.
In the end, Canada had the last laugh, beating the United States 3-2 when it counted: in overtime during the gold-medal game. But despite the outrageous celebration that went on for weeks after Crosby's game-winning escaped goalie Ryan Miller's pads, there was proof and a little faith that America could be up there with the best in hockey.
And it started with the 1980 team, or even the often-forgotten 1960 team.
Nowadays, we can still draw from the events of the United States/Soviet game and they would be applicable to sports and life today.
For example, Soviet coach Viktor Tikhonov's decision to not pull Vladimir Myshkin in the final minute of the game could have been a huge difference-maker. Who knows what could have happened with the help of the extra man.
Or American coach Herb Brooks' decision to send out Mark Johnson who scored a huge tying goal in the final seconds of the first period.
Some things are just meant to go our way in the strangest ways, be it a metal lapse or impulsive decision.
We can also look at the work ethic of the American team from the start of their training in June of 1979 to the Olympic Games—a lengthy and grueling process that became the backbone of the team's success in the tournament.
Clearly, hard work while maintaining a constant eye on a goal is the surest way to success.
Following the 1980 Olympic Games, Sports Illustrated released a cover honoring the United States victory with a snapshot of the post-Soviet game celebration. No supplementary description was added to the cover, mainly because it wasn't necessary.
For those of us who weren't alive to experience the moment, words can only explain so much.
For those of us who were alive, no words are possible.
The 1980 Miracle on Ice is a moment that lives on in the hearts of Americans and hockey fans worldwide, more often than not as the greatest moment in sports history.
But more resonant than the final score on the scoreboard was what the miracle presented to the United States not only immediately after the game, but in the many years that followed: the importance in believing that nothing is impossible and that working hard can take you places no raw skill can.
On this day, we remember what it felt like to stare impossible in the eye and not be the first to look away. We remember that was possible because of a childlike belief among a group of young hockey players and their aggressive but supportive coach.
And it will never get old.

Last weekend was a journey back in time for Newborn Chambers, 92, of the Marche community just outside Maumelle.
The World War II sailor was one of several veterans of that war who were given a flight to Washington, D.C. to visit the new WW II monument. In fact, 80 veterans actually made the trip compliments of Tyson and the Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas.
He said it was a fast trip flying to Washington and back the same day spending about four hours touring the WWII monuments but one he'll never forget.
Chambers, a retired attorney, said he spent the most time at the Midway section of the monument because he was involved in that battle at sea which he said was the "turning point of the war."
Almost all of the action in that pivotal battle centered around the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier, he said. From the bridge of his ship, the USS Astoria Chambers said he had a bird's eye view of the major action that eventually sunk the Yorktown that night but the two other aircraft carriers that the Japanese never found used their fighter and bombers from those two aircraft carriers to so decimate the Japanese navy.
His only regret was that his older brother didn't live long enough to make the trip to Washington, he said. Since they both served on the same ship he said his older brother pulled a few strings to get him — the younger brother transferred to shore duty at Pearl Harbor where he spent the rest of the war.
As soon as the Astoria returned to Pearl Harbor for repair his older brother got him transferred off the same ship, he said.
Part of the reason was the fact that the five Sullivan brothers were all lost when the USS Juneau went down on Nov. 13, 1942, and the U.S War Department changed policy to prevent that happening again.
The younger brother served until he was discharged in October 1945 and he then spent five years in the naval reserve retiring as a Chief Petty Officer.
Chambers said he went through basic sailor training with the oldest two Solomon brothers, and they were all sad to hear about all five going down together.
Chambers said he grew up in McCrae, a small White County town. After the war he attended the University of Arkansas and after his undergraduate work he attended law school there.
In addition to his daughter Mary Alice who is living with him he has another daughter in Maumelle, Cindy.
The trip was like traveling back in time he said and he relived the Battle of Midway that he said he watched from the bridge of the Astoria. After he was moved off the heavy cruiser he said the Astoria was hit and sunk in August 1942 at the Battle of Savo Islands..
He said his older brother had to swim miles at sea for hours before he was rescued. If he had still been on the ship, he said he doubted they'd both have made it off.

text: Home » News » Ubisoft Toronto Develop New Splinter Cell Ubisoft Toronto Develop New Splinter Cell Stuart Davidson May 25, 2010 News Ubisoft Toronto, a Canadian studio that haven't long been in existence, will be working on the next Splinter Cell title. The game will be produced entirely within the Toronto studio with no game elements or developments being outsourced. This is according to the producer Alex Parizeau who will be at the helm for the game. He said: "I'm excited. We have very high ambitions for the project, and it's a great opportunity, because Splinter Cell has a lot of visibility, and we're really hoping to attract a lot of senior talent and people who have a lot of experience in the industry. We we want to build the studio around that, a really strong core team, and that [Splinter Cell] is going to provide us with a really good platform to do that," he added. "I think we have a really special chance to build something strong from the start." Studio head Jade Raymond added: "A lot of the games that come out of the Montreal studio, or the European studios, have much more of that 'continental' flair. Beyond Good and Evil, for example, couldn't have been produced other than in France. It's a very European-feeling game. When you think of it like that, I think the Splinter Cell franchise fits Toronto." Share On

The Connecticut College Arboretum (CCA) provides a welcome relationship with the natural world and its plants and other life forms. CCA offers opportunities for teaching, research, conservation, recreation, public education and observing wonderous beauty. CCA is a huge arboretum and botanical garden founded in 1931, and located, obviously, on the campus of Connecticut College in the towns of New London and Waterford. Including the campus itself, the Arboretum encompasses about 750 acres of preserved open space in southeastern Connecticut. Once a farm surrounded by woodlands, the Arboretum offers visitors a chance to explore a diverse collection of natives and botanicals, to watch a show at the outdoor Flock Theater, or to simply wander and enjoy the beauty of a precious natural resource. The Arboretum includes tracts of land that are not dedicated to specific plant collections, but rather are preserved as natural or managed areas. These areas offer a rare look at some of the region's habitats of native plants and animals. These "Natural Areas" total about 200 acres. The oak and hemlock forested Bolleswood tract is located west of the Arboretum Pond, and the rocky, wooded, 40-acre Mamacoke Island in the Thames River is attached to the mainland by a small tidal salt marsh. Arboretum policy calls for no manipulation other than the maintenance of trails, so these areas remain undisturbed by human activity. Natural areas serve a number of significant functions and are an integral part of the Arboretum's identity and mission. Scientifically valuable, natural areas are the "controls," the standards, or common denominators by which serious land management programs can be judged and evaluated. They preserve samples of vegetation types, and serve as examples of processes of natural change and development over time. CCA is located in southeastern Connecticut, about five miles inland from Long Island Sound. Recent glaciations (recent meaning in the last 250,000 years!) greatly affected the landscape in the area. Its rocky soil, glacial boulders, the Connecticut coastline, and numerous wetlands are all direct results of these glaciations. The glacier scoured hilltops and deposited till in the valleys. The Thames River, beside which the Arboretum is situated, also has glacial origins. There's also Mamacoke Island, a 40-acre natural preserve and national treasure! There is considerable diversity in plant communities within the Arboretum. The forests are part of the central hardwoods vegetation zone. Within the Arboretum, there are also many wetland types, including forested wetlands, bogs and tidal marshes. The Arboretum also contains a tidal salt marsh. Mamacoke Marsh, situated on the Thames River, is one of the few unditched marshes left in Connecticut. Tidal marshes are incredibly productive systems in terms of both vegetation and fauna, and act as a nursery for large numbers of marine organisms. In terms of education, Connecticut College is not lacking in originality or hands-on experience. Since its establishment in 1931, generations of students and professors have used the Connecticut College Arboretum as a living laboratory to learn about the natural world. With a wide diversity of natural and managed habitats a few steps away from the lecture and residence halls, over 20 courses regularly use the Arboretum. Honors and Master's thesis projects, as well as student individual study projects, commonly use the Arboretum as an applied research site. Non-students also enjoy a wealth of programs and activities at CCA. Kids, for example, can attend fun and functional programs ranging from mushroom hunts, learning to use a microscope, and creating holiday ornaments to map and compass-reading and coral reef workshops. Adults can participate in leaf and tree walks, take a course on the mysteries of Mamacoke Island, study winter waterfowl, or join a holiday wreath-making session to name a few of the possibilities! When you're headed out to CCA, whether alone, with friends, with family or with the tiny tots, and whether you're there to photograph, observe, bike, walk or hike the natural areas; even if you're headed to read in the Natural Areas, don't forget to print out the following Top Five Attractions and Exhibits list. This list is a compartmentalized version of a map, and a "to-see" list of sorts! Use it in addition to any materials or maps you receive upon entry to the Arboretum! 1. SALT Seminars
Smaller American Lawns Today is a movement introduced in June 1997 by Dr. William A. Niering, professor of botany at Connecticut College. The SALT mission is to reverse the lawn mania in America by restoring home and industrial grounds to more harmonious, productive, ecologically sound and naturalistic landscapes. The SALT seminars offer an alternative vision of the mono-cultured classic lawn and encourage attendees to see the natural beauty that abounds in their very own yard. In the annual SALT seminar, participants learn how to cut back on the size of their lawns and to have beautiful, sustainable, and friendly home grounds, too. Once established, you'll never want to go back to a boring, mono-cultural lawn! This seminar is a true once in a lifetime event that will change your entire outlook on gardening and landscape design.

Yoga for Transformation – Beyond Asana Into Awareness : Streamlining Excellence in a 6 week program.
You desire to step into your excellence, to cultivate a life filled with possibility and brilliance.
To experience a deep sense of satisfaction in Self, with a healthy body and mind.
Imagine your stress levels dropping, better sleep, improved communication in your most important relationships. Building confidence and self-esteem into an Integrated Self. Creating more clarity within you and in your choices than you may have ever known before.
Imagine that feeling that you love after a deep yoga or meditation practice staying with you throughout your entire day, rather than diminishing the moment you get back to your car. Imagine instead, that you can carry this feeling with you into every circumstance and situation for the rest of the day, developing a new experience of focus and of consistent well-being, even in scenarios that would normally leave you feeling stressed and anxious.
How amazing would it feel to cultivate this so that it grows into becoming a new way of life, becoming a powerful new habit that supports and energizes you everyday in any situation?
We all want to understand the core of our individuality, our own personal operating system. You know that a calm, confident, self-assured identity is magnetic, and this personal sense of confidence will create a deep self reliance and mastery that allows you to stay calm and balanced in every situation of life. How are you going to take what you sense really matters and put it into action so that you can finally know "YES, I am on my path doing exactly what I was born to do!" it if you can't see it?
Our lack of self esteem shows up with poor eating or sleeping habits, or by becoming cynical or pessimistic. We procrastinate & doubt the very things we know that we need to do in order to progress our life in the directions that we desire. Constant frustrations are actually masking your insecurities.
Yoga for Transformation can completely reshape the landscape of your life. From stress and fatigue to energized awareness and abundant creativity. From stagnation and feeling trapped in a loop, to that sense of finally breaking free to establish yourself in ways that have up till now, felt stuck at the dream or planning stage for far too long.
Yoga for Transformation is a life practice, one rooted in the ancient science of yoga but integrated for a throughly modern approach. Where you learn to expand that space that you feel on the mat, and carry it forward into every aspect of your life off of it.
Yogis, meditators and spirit seekers who desire to begin a practice or deepen one, learn how to imbue new concepts and ideas easily and simply into everyday life with only 5 minutes every morning.
Reimagine life as it is, to one you deeply desire it to be, then create the foundation and the framework to achieving it. In only 42 days, you create a new habit of excellence by breaking the old habits that actively prevent it.
Learn techniques that assist you in peering behind the curtain of your limiting beliefs. Understand that these generate the very tendencies that you have used to create the experiences that drag you down.
Learn to fortify your foundation, so that you can continue to build upon it forever, higher and higher because where you choose to go has no end.
Yoga for Transformation is a cellular, soul-level practice that generates a cohesive body, mind and spirit. Only when you create this solid triumvirate state, can your inner foundation be strong. This is what builds the fabric of a life filled beyond simply 3D, but manifests the experience of a faceted, multi-dimensional existence. Exponentially expanding you from your soul level outwards.
Invest in your self, in your health and your wellbeing for the long haul. Recreate your life from the inside out, and create not just a new way of thinking, but an entirely new habitual way of Being.
Yoga for Transformation is a 6 week daily practice of a unique mental, vibratory, auditory and physical system that will break the habitual tendencies and beliefs that cause you doubt yourself, sell yourself short, and keep you stuck. You will finally discover what your Superpowers already are, and break the cycle of lack and limitation that have created the circumstance as you now experience it. You expand the awareness of who you and generate a life that you are passionate about living. This transformation helps you to see, and then break the negative tendencies of limitation. You will learn that the world you dream about is already within you, or you would not be feeling its pull.
Are you ready to learn the truth? Most people think yoga is an exercise routine that you do on a mat, a way to get more limber or reduce stress. Yoga is actually a 5,000 year old science and it is not just what you do on the mat, but is a full system in how to live your life. Enlightenment will never come by comparison with another, or by inflating your ego to be more "spiritual" than someone else. It comes by being honest to your soul.
First, you must find your habits of limitation. Yoga for Transformation techniques assist you with a new habit of excellence that becomes a much more satisfying and passionate way of being. You generate a new achievement and awareness naturally as a result.
You will experience:
- Increased Intuition.
- Feelings of being present in every situation of life, not just watching it pass by.
- Improved communication in all of your relationships, from the most intimate to the community around you.
- Self-mastery and personal ownership as the creator of your life.
- The ability to understand what you truly want, and how to create the roadmap to get there.
Everything that you want to feel and experience is already available within you, but if you are creating a habit of driving to what you DON"T want, you will never arrive at what you do. You can keep driving down the same old avenues and get the same old results that you can't stand, or you can evolve it into the Roadmap for your future that you sense is possible, but has not been designed yet.
I've created a system, a potent combination of yoga and hypnotherapy techniques combined to awaken you to a new experience of your life, one with you as the creator of it. Specific affirmations combine with yoga mudra, breath, meditations, and a journaling practice every day for 42 days that work synergistically to break down your bad habits and beliefs of lack and limitation, and set you up for freedom from them.

"She helped me reveal to myself my own powerful healing abilities, and has opened up new and exciting possibilities for my life and work. Even though the circumstances of my day-to-day life have not changed dramatically (still have work, kids, husband, etc.), the way I go through it all is radically different– with more confidence, grace, gratitude, hope, and love." – Dr. Bergen Nelson
"Kristen has created a symphony of beautiful tools which are perfect for this time in the world. While I consider Kristen a dear friend of mine, I can vouch for her being a friend to you as well. Authentic and Supportive. I highly recommend Kristen's work. ~ Karena Virginia ~ Spiritual Teacher, Healer and author of "Essential Kundalini Yoga"
"Through her program, classes and guidance, I now have tools to get through anything that comes my way. I have learned how to breathe and focus. I have learned how to get through stressful issues and how to prevent anxiety from taking over, allowing myself to move forward and be a better me so that I can be a better mother to my children and a better person to those around me. By reading the daily affirmations and meditating like she has taught me, I am able to now do this on my own, even though I know she will always be there to help. I am grateful to have these tools and this book to refer to for extra support in my life." – Tehila Koshki

The garage can be much more than just a covered place to store your vehicle. It can be a small woodshop, a place to store whatever doesn't fit in the home, or to store your tools for working on your car or truck.

As a leading provider of HVAC services in this area, we want you to know that we also install and service garage heaters in the Chicago, IL area.

Benefits of Garage Heaters
Why install a garage heater before next winter? It's not too hard to see why you might want to:
- Heated storage.
- The garage is a great place not only to keep your car clean and clear of debris throughout the year, but also to store things like food, water, and other beverages, as well as houseplants. If you don't such items to freeze, then you'll need a garage heater.
- Comfort when you've got to work.
- Whether you work out of your garage, or just as a serious hobbyist on the weekends, the winter will challenge your ability to do what you need to do in the garage. A heater makes winter a lot more pleasant.
- Efficiency and power.
- We install quality garage heaters from brands such as Lennox, which are incredibly efficient, which means you save money in the long–term. We'll also make sure that your heater matches the size and heating requirements of your garage precisely.
Signs that You Need Garage Heater Repair
Like any other piece of HVAC equipment, your garage heater will not simply last indefinitely. Our job is to make sure that your home has an outstanding garage heater, one well suited to the winter here in Chicago. But even beyond installation, you can also rely on our team for all of your garage heater repair needs. The key is to catch the problem before it can do serious damage.
- Has your garage heater started to make an odd sound? If so, then let us have a look at it to make sure it's not broken.
- Has it become inefficient? You can definitely expect your heating bill to rise during the coldest part of the year—that much is obvious. But if you notice a sudden spike in the cost of running your garage heater (or any other heating system in the home, for that matter), then let us know.
Those are just a couple of common signs to watch out for. If your garage heater has broken down completely, then give us a call right away. We offer garage heater repair 24/7. We also offer garage heater maintenance, which we can do as part of a general HVAC maintenance plan, or whenever you'd like us to have a look at your system. Contact Elm Heating & Cooling, Inc. today!

Fall of Giants
Published in September 2010, and debuted at #1 on The New York Times' hardcover fiction bestseller list. The paperback edition reached #1 on The New York Times' bestseller list in September 2012.
Fall of Giants is a magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in the Century trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families – American, German, Russian, English and Welsh – as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.
Thirteen-year-old Billy Williams enters a man's world in the Welsh mining pits… Gus Dewar, an American law student rejected in love, finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilson's White House… two orphaned Russian brothers, Grigori and Lev Peshkov, embark on radically different paths half a world apart when their plan to emigrate to America falls afoul of war, conscription and revolution… Billy's sister, Ethel, a housekeeper for the aristocratic Fitzherberts, takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert herself crosses deep into forbidden territory when she falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German Embassy in London…
These characters and many others find their lives inextricably entangled as, in a saga of unfolding drama and intriguing complexity, Fall of Giants moves seamlessly from Washington to St. Petersburg, from the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty.
As always with Ken, the historical background is brilliantly researched and rendered, the action fast-moving, the characters rich in nuance and emotion. It is destined to be a new classic.
In future volumes of the Century trilogy, subsequent generations of the same families will travel through the great events of the rest of the twentieth century, changing themselves – and the century itself. With passion and the hand of a master, Ken brings us into a world we thought we knew, but now will never seem the same again.

It's a very powerful visual the provides a lot of personality to something and represents certain themes very well. Fire backgrounds are a great way to add fire to an image without it completely over-taking the other elements of your design. So please have a look at these 5 magnificent fire backgrounds and enjoy!

Flames - Basic Blue Double Wide by jbensch
These are the classic hot rod flames. You see these quite a bit on school lunch boxes to the actual hot rod they originated from to apparel and lots of other things. Since hot rod flames are so common and over done I wanted to find something that was a bit more unique from the standard fare that you find and I feel like jbensch really added a unique touch to the design of the flames. I did also select this for the traditional flames on blue color scheme because it's difficult to find flames that aren't on a very dark background and it's tradition, which is something I don't particularly like to mess with.

Radial Flames by Dark Warlock
This background by Dark Warlock is a bit more abstract but since the nature of fire is so random and abstract itself, I feel like it fits with the theme of fire. It's also a background looks incredibly like a painting and features a lot of colors and contrast which adds a tremendous amount of depth to the image and makes for a lovely care that can be given to someone who maybe isn't crazy about the traditional, wavy fire design like the ones featured on hot rods.

In Flames by The-fishy-one
In Flames by The-fishy-one is another very lovely painted style gradient that really captures the colors and spark of flames. The colors mesh beautifully from dark to light and is a very open and neutral background, leaving lots of room for customization. The wallpaper is available in a zip file at its source and contains 7 resolutions which are listed on the preview image.

Fire by Hellheimer
This simple fire background is smooth, elegant, and a little jazzy. Its cool and refreshing brush strokes almost distract you from the fact that it is indeed a small flame. I always admire people who can compose a clear subject with so few line as it creates a beautiful, clean and, simple product which makes is great for a lot of things both professional and personal.

Firewall by Alexander-GG
Alexander-GG has put together a molten looking fire background that focuses more on the glow and intensity of fire rather than the sparks and curling tips of a match's flame. This wallpaper has realistic visuals, depths, and textures and is sure to light up your background incredibly well. It is a beautiful wallpaper that is available in several sizes ranging from iPhone resolution to very large wide screen resolutions.

President Sirleaf Opens 51st Session of ECOWAS Summit of Heads of State and Government; Outlines Achievements
Sunday, 4th June 2017

Harbel, Margibi County: President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has opened the 51st Session of the Summit of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government and outlined achievements during her tenure as Chairperson of the Authority of Heads of State.
According to an Executive mansion release, the Liberian leader was speaking in Harbel, Margibi County at the Farmington Hotel when she opened the 51st Session of the ECOWAS Summit of Heads of State and Government.
It can be recalled exactly one year ago, on June 4, 2016, in Dakar, Senegal, on the occasion of the 49th Ordinary Summit of the ECOWAS Heads of State and Government, the Authority entrusted with the leadership of the ECOWAS Community. She praised her predecessor – Senegalese President, Macky Sall, who had worked tirelessly on Community matters.
She acknowledged the progress made by Liberia, which was considered a pariah state just fifteen years ago. President Sirleaf said it took the sacrifices and the solidarity of members of this community to bring us to this day, when we can lead the sub-regional organization and be able to receive you all, in a peaceful and trending Liberia.
She also paid homage for the great work accomplished by those who held the mantle before her and ensured that our community work in the interest of our people, putting our unity and solidarity above all other consideration.
Recounting her assumption of the chairmanship of ECOWAS Authority, President Sirleaf immediately prioritized a four-point agenda with the main thrust on Consolidation of Democracy, Strengthening our Peace and Security Architecture; Improving Financial Stability and Promoting Institutional Reform, including the Review and Restructuring of the Community Institutions; Promoting Regional Integration through Agriculture; and Infrastructure Development.
She said in the area of democracy – sub-region recorded impressive gains leading to the peaceful transition through elections achieved in Cabo Verde and Ghana. President Sirleaf, on behalf of ECOWAS applauded Ghana for being the leader in this regard on the Continent. She paid tribute to the leadership of our ECOWAS Mediator, President Buhari of Nigeria, which saw a 22-year political domination in The Gambia come to an end in a peaceful transition. This, she noted was accomplished through several diplomatic and mediatory missions by the Mediation Team – Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Liberia. She further recognized the pivotal roles played by Senegal, Guinea and Mauritania.
She indicated that this success came as a result of full solidarity and firm resolve by all of you to implement the decision taken at the 50thSummit, which received world acclaim and established ECOWAS as a model of decisive leadership in defense of regional democracy in Africa.
She said diplomatic and mediatory missions were taken to Guinea Bissau under the leadership of President Condé of Guinea as Mediator that brought together a historic gathering of representatives of all the political parties of Guinea Bissau in Conakry in October 2016. "Their discussions culminated in the Conakry Agreement, which outlined the roadmap to a resolution of the long standing political impasse in that country, she observed.
President Sirleaf said these achievements would not have been possible without the support and collaboration of the African Union, United Nations, European Union, as well as other friendly bilateral partners outside our region.
On efforts to consolidate peace and security in our region continue, she said: "With the realization that in the absence of peace, there can be no development. Terrorism has brought instability, death and destruction to many member states of our Community. What started a few years ago as a dispute about autonomy in northern Mali is now spreading. Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria have all been victims of terrorist attacks. In this regard, we acknowledge the gallant efforts of the Nigerian Government in degrading the capability of Boko Haram and support the spirited efforts of the Government of Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso and Cote d'Ivoire, together with other countries of the Lake Chad Region." She stressed - "We can stem terrorism only if we strengthen intelligence capacity, improve information sharing and enhance coordination with the African Union and other regional organizations on the continent."
President Sirleaf informed the summit that good progress has been made in the restructuring of the Community institutions. She said in early December 2016, she undertook a working visit to ECOWAS Institutions in Abuja and met with the President and Judges of the Community Court of Justice, and the Speaker and Bureau of the ECOWAS Parliament at their respective headquarters. She said the visit provided her an opportunity to better understand the internal workings and the pace of the implementation of reforms, including fast tracking of the work of the Maxwell Stamp Consultants in restructuring Community institutions. She then thanked the leaders of the various institutions for the opportunity granted her during the visit with them.
She commended the Authority of Heads of State and Government for supporting reforms in all the Community institutions aimed at reducing operational and administrative costs, inefficiency and mismanagement of resources. The outgoing Chairperson emphasized that the reallocation of resources from administration to programs will improve services to our people. She however used the occasion to commend, particularly, the exceptional support and commitment made to this effort by the President of the Commission, Mr. Marcel de Souza.
She noted that existing protocols and mechanisms - call for financing our Community through contribution of the Community levy by Member States, which is the principal means of meeting the operational costs of our institutions and responding to security emergencies such as those faced by our peacekeeping troops in Mali and Guinea Bissau. She joined her colleagues in commending His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari for the relief brought by his recent expressed commitment to continue Nigeria's support to the community levy.
Touching on regional integration, she said the road to regional integration is likely to be long and require consistency especially where economies of several of our countries have progressed tremendously in the past years but are now plagued by the sharp decline in commodity prices on the world market.
She noted that regional integration plans continue on course as a result of the Community's collective resolve to implement the Protocols on Free Movement of People and Goods, particularly the Common Internal Tariff (CET), the ECOWAS Trade Liberalization Scheme (ETLS) and the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA).
"Our community has achieved considerable progress in the last four decades, including harmonization of macroeconomic policies, trade integration, regional infrastructure, all resting on the pillars of peace and security, democracy and rule of law. We applaud the free movement of people throughout our sub-region as the greatest achievement of all, because it provides to our people the freedom of cross border movement, without having to stand in line for visas, she emphasized."
President Sirleaf said: "To reach our objective of total integration, we owe it to our people to make cross border trade and travel as easy as possible for our people by eliminating harassment and imposition of personal fees by those many border posts. We must recognize that most of our people who travel across borders for trade, seasonal work or family visits do so by road. Small business and migrant workers constitute the backbone of our economic development and integration. Commerce will greatly be enhanced if we have a seamless cross border movement."
Looking forward; she said we have determined that agriculture and infrastructure will enable us to achieve transformation in the implementation of our Vision 2020. The success of several of our countries in value addition in agriculture can be expanded and our trade integration enhanced through acceleration of the several ongoing regional projects in roads, energy, and railroads. "Agricultural programs should consider innovative ways of integrating young people to minimize youth unemployment; a strong case also exists for air services connectivity to provide cost effective movement of citizens, increased trade, and tourism, as called for by the Yamoussoukro Declaration and Decision, she stressed."
On Infrastructure in the Region, she underscored the development of road networks and energy generation and distribution. She then commended the Heads of State of Nigeria and Cote d'Ivoire and the Ministers for Public Works, Road Infrastructure and Justice for launching the critical Lagos-Abidjan Corridor. "Today, we will be breaking ground, leading to finalization of the treaty on the second phase, the Dakar-Abidjan Corridor (DAC). We look forward to signing the DAT phase to meet the challenges to all of us including our development partners for rapid implementation of these important projects, she announced."
The summit was attended by 12 Heads of State from Cape Verde, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Cote D'Ivoire, Guinea, Ghana, Togo, Mali, The Gambia, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissua and Liberia. The summit also saw the participation of Israeli Prime Minister – Netanyahu, the EU Vice President, the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary General on West Africa/Sahel – Dr. Mohammed Ibn Chambas, among others.

Book Review: 'Honolulu,' by Alan Brennert
Wednesday, March 11, 2009
By Alan Brennert
St. Martin's. 360 pp. $24.95
In America's collective consciousness, Hawaii is largely idealized, a modern-day Eden dotted with palm trees, cloudless skies -- a vacation destination and little else. But beyond the Aloha State's tropical climate and white-sand beaches lies unrivaled cultural complexity, a rich and sometimes dark history that is frequently whitewashed by the islands' blindingly paradisiacal qualities.
Alan Brennert's "Honolulu" redirects our attention to Hawaii's oft-overlooked background through the story of Jin, a young woman who immigrates to Oahu early in the 20th century. Born to a conservative family in Korea, Jin is reared in a culture where women were largely isolated from the greater community, forbidden to attend school and considered "merely vessels by which to provide society with an uninterrupted supply of men." (Her given name is Regret, a moniker that reflects how her parents felt about the birth of a daughter.) At 16, yearning for freedom and education, Jin auctions herself off as a "picture bride" to a supposedly handsome, well-to-do man who will pay for her to come live with him in Hawaii. Jin has barely traveled outside her village, but Hawaii, she's assured, is "a tropical paradise, where food grows so abundantly that if one is hungry, all one needs to do is reach up and pick something off a tree to eat."
Instead, Jin arrives in Oahu to marry an alcoholic who works long hours on a sugar cane plantation, gambles away his nominal wages and beats her. Desperate and terrified, she flees to downtown Honolulu. There, as the city around her develops from a provincial boom town to a cosmopolitan capital, she meets unlikely friends and fellow immigrants. With their help and her inherent resourcefulness, Jin grows into an independent, prosperous woman living a tropical version of the American dream.
To its core, "Honolulu" is meticulously researched. (Brennert's previous novel, "Moloka'i," also depicted a precocious heroine in Old Hawaii.) He intersperses cultural details -- song lyrics, movies, popular books from the era -- that add textured authenticity, and he incorporates major historic events, such as the Japanese annexation of Korea in 1910 and the Oriental Exclusion Act of 1924. Most dramatically, Brennert uses characters from the Massie trial, a 1932 criminal case in which a white woman was charged with murdering a young Hawaiian boy who had been accused of raping the woman's daughter. As it did in history, the trial divides the characters in "Honolulu" along racial lines and lays bare the resentment between locals and haoles (the white colonial overclass).
In many respects, Jin's story is prototypical, the bildungsroman of an aspiring woman, yearning for a life beyond the one society has prescribed. (Jin Eyre, anyone?) But in mooring this familiar character to the unique history of early-20th-century Hawaii, Brennert portrays the Aloha State's history as complicated and dynamic -- not simply a melting pot, but a Hawaiian-style "mixed plate" in which, as Jin sagely notes, "many different tastes share the plate, but none of them loses its individual flavor, and together they make up a uniquely 'local' cuisine."

2 uninjured in small plane crash
Plane crashed after routine landing, takeoff sequence
2 uninjured in small plane crash
Plane crashed after routine landing, takeoff sequence
COVENTRY, Vt. —
Investigators are looking into how a small plane crashed in Vermont after performing a routine landing and takeoff.
Both people aboard the Cessna 140 survived Saturday afternoon's crash; they were not injured. The plane came down in a field near the end of a runway at Newport State Airport.
The Caledonian Record reports the plane's landing gear was damaged, causing it to land on its belly.
Vermont Aeronautics Director Guy Rouelle said the plane touched wheels down on the runway. When the pilot sought to take off again, the plane lost the aerodynamic lift of one wing, causing the plane to stall. The plane left the runway, but it pitched at a steep angle to one side.
Rouelle said both people are pilots. Their names haven't been released yet.

Chai, Mint Masala, Blue Lotus
Blue Lotus' new variety is a taste sensation! Exhilarating and surprising, it rises to the same standard of excellence that defines Blue Lotus Chai, and that our fans have come to expect.
Ingredients: Naturally brewed and flash-dried black tea powder; 100% Certified Organic powdered spices: ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, peppermint from extract.
Non-GMO verified.
From the makers of Blue Lotus Chai:
"Our tea is dehydrated true-brewed Indian black tea that is blended with finely ground spices to produce a powder that is completely soluble in hot liquid. Stir into hot water/milk ¼ teaspoon of our blend and you're finished with preparation!
Because Traditional Masala Chai is black tea based; there is approximately 15%, or 1/7 of the caffeine in coffee. That means you would have to drink seven cups of our chai to equal the amount of caffeine in the same size cup of coffee. BLC actually has less caffeine than black or green leaf tea."
