3 lower back stretches to ease back pain
For one reason or another, we have all had it - lower back pain. Women who menstruate are familiar with the constant ache and tension caused when the muscles surrounding the reproductive system contract during a period. Athletes suffer from lower back pain caused through any number of slight injuries. Additionally, those with desk jobs, who spend their days sitting in office chairs, also complain of lower back pain.
Consider that the muscles that are sending pain signals could be connected to muscles that are the source of the tension. Just applying pressure where it hurts will not help in that specific scenario. Luckily, stretching is one way to ease the pain by releasing some of the tension. When practiced regularly - perhaps daily after exercise or during a lunch break - they can be tremendously helpful.
Here are a few simple stretches for lower back pain relief. Be careful not to overstretch, and ease into them gently.
1. The prayer stretchKneel with your butt on your calves and lower your chest to the ground as if in prayer position. The goal is to reach your hands together as far forward as possible, so that your chest is close to the ground. You should feel this stretching the muscles around your spine.
2. The hip flexor stretchKneel with one leg at a 90 degree angle with your foot on the ground, and with the knee of your opposite leg stretched behind you on the ground. Place your arms on your upright leg and lean gently forward, so that your outstretched back leg is stretched at the hip flexor point. Hold this for 30 seconds and then switch.
3. The knee to chest stretchLay flat on your back, with your feet on the floor, and your knees pointed at the ceiling. Relax, breathing in and out deeply. Grab your knee and pull it slowly to your chest. Hold for 30 seconds, then release gently and switch to your other leg.
Repeat each stretch twice. We recommend doing three sets of these stretches for lower back pain once a day.
Read on to learn more about the stretches and exercises that are good for back pain.

Adobe has introduced a new way for people to get its products, by allowing them to rent rather than buy the company's latest software.
Instead of trying to find the four figure sum to buy the company's new Creative Suite 5.5 collection of apps, Adobe is now allowing potential users of the software to rent on a monthly basis.
It means that project workers can pay as they go for the software.
"Today also sees Adobe debut an affordable and flexible subscription-based pricing plan, attractive to customers that want to get current and stay current on Creative Suite products, have project–based needs, or try the software for the first time," says the company.
The new Subscription Editions should ensure that users are always working with the most up-to-date versions of the software, without the upfront cost of full pricing.
Adobe Photoshop will cost £28 per month, Adobe Design Premium CS5.5 £72 per month, and Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection - the package that includes everything - for £116 per month.
The news comes as the company announces a new version of its Creative Suite package, CS5.5. The new offering, due to go on sale later this month, brings a number of enhancements to InDesign and Dreamweaver, amongst others.

Wolfe claims she was unceremoniously removed from her co-founder role sometime after the company's chief marketing officer, Justin Mateen, offered the view that "having a young female co-founder 'makes the company seem like a joke' and 'devalues' the company," according to the lawsuit, which was filed in Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles. She also alleges that on April 6 at a company event, Mateen referred to her as a "whore" in front of CEO Sean Rad. In her suit, Wolfe says she and Mateen were dating at one time. Most of her complaints seem to center on his behaviors, and Mateen has been suspended by IAC, which owns Tinder in addition to other dating properties like Match.com. "Immediately upon receipt of the allegations contained in Ms. Wolfe's complaint, Mr. Mateen was suspended pending an ongoing internal investigation," IAC said in a statement emailed to USA Today. "Through that process, it has become clear that Mr. Mateen sent private messages to Ms. Wolfe containing inappropriate content. We unequivocally condemn these messages, but believe that Ms. Wolfe's allegations with respect to Tinder and its management are unfounded." Wolfe also claims she was subjected to a "frat-like" environment that tolerated "misogynist, alpha-male stereotype" types of behaviors. The litigation maintains she complained about such treatment but was ignored by Rad and IAC. Wolfe is requesting compensatory damages, including lost pay, punitive damages and restitution. Meanwhile, recent months have represented a tough stretch for tech companies when it comes to how they are perceived to treat women. Less than five weeks ago, Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel had to apologize after explicitly demeaning emails about coeds surfaced from his days at Stanford University. And in late April, marketing software company RadiumOne fired its CEO, Gurbaksh Chahal, after he pled guilty to physically abusing his girlfriend in an incident that took place on Aug. 5, 2013.

Meet Your Manager
Jim Landon became City Manager of the City of Palm Coast in January 2007. Before coming to Palm Coast, Landon served as city manager of Lancaster, Texas, for nearly five years and previously held city manager positions in Missouri and Oregon. He began his career as a land use planner for Clark County (Las Vegas), Nevada, then held planning positions in Colorado and Oklahoma.
With that strong background in planning, Landon now specializes in development, infrastructure and planning – all important issues for fast-growing Palm Coast. In May 2013, Landon received the Florida City and County Management Association's Award for Career Excellence. A native of Arizona, he grew up in Klamath Falls, Oregon. He received his undergraduate degree in geography from Oregon State University and earned a Master of Public Administration from the University of Colorado Denver. He and his wife, Tresea, have two grown children and a granddaughter.
The Council/Manager Form of Government
The council-manager form of local government combines the strong political leadership of elected officials in the form of a council with the strong managerial experience of an appointed local government manager. Approximately 59 percent of U.S. cities with populations of 25,000 or more, and 47 percent of U.S. cities with populations of 5,000 or more have adopted the council-manager form.
The Mayor and City Council members act as the political head of the city. They are responsible for setting policy, approving the budget, determining the tax rate, and formulating broad long-term policies that outline the City's public function. The manager is appointed by council to carry out policy and ensure that the entire community is being served. The manager makes policy recommendations to the council, but the council may or may not adopt them and may modify the recommendations. The manager is bound by whatever action the council takes.
Responsibilities of the City Manager's Office
The primary responsibility of a city manager is to implement the policies of the elected City Council. In addition, in the council-manager government, the manager assumes responsibility for:
- Directing day-to-day operations;
- Preparing the annual budget;
- Overseeing personnel matters;
- Recommending policies or programs to the City Council;
- Keeping the council fully advised of the financial and other conditions of the city; and
- Supplying the council with information to aid decision making

text: (Please see table at bottom, corrected to comply with an official correction from Lipper) By Trevor Hunnicutt NEW YORK, Aug 31 (Reuters) - U.S. fund investors regained their risk appetite during the latest week, draining money market funds and pouring their cash into stocks after six straight weeks of withdrawals. Stock exchange-traded funds in the United States attracted $9.2 billion during the week ended Aug. 30, the most since June, according to Lipper data on Thursday. That more than offset the $3.1 billion that bled from equity mutual funds in the same period, the research service said. Mutual funds are heavily favored by retail investors, while ETFs draw a diverse set of clients, including fast-trading hedge funds. Tom Roseen, head of research services for Thomson Reuters' Lipper unit, said there is plenty to worry about with ongoing conflict between North Korea and the United States as well as "lofty" U.S. stock prices. Yet the global economy looks good. "People were a little bit more aggressive," Roseen said of ETF investors. "They were just focused on the good news." Funds focused on domestic shares pulled in $3.9 billion, the most since June. Internationally focused equity funds pulled in $2.2 billion, the most since July, Lipper said. Money market funds, which have pulled in tens of billions this summer as calm markets turned turbulent, posted $19.9 billion in withdrawals during the latest week, the data showed. But Roseen said uncertainty is keeping demand up for some safe-haven investments. Gold is trading at $1,321 an ounce, up nearly 9 percent from early July. Precious metals commodities funds, which invest directly in gold and other similar assets, pulled in $766 million in their largest week of inflows since June. The VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF pulled in $213 million, the most since March. That fund buys shares in companies that produce bullion. The following is a breakdown of the flows for the week, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds: Sector Flow Chg % Assets Assets Count ($blns) ($blns) All Equity Funds 6.136 0.10 6,126.670 11,448 -Domestic 3.928 0.09 4,199.973 8,165 Equities -Non-Domestic 2.208 0.12 1,926.697 3,283 Equities All Taxable Bond 2.128 0.09 2,503.163 5,773 Funds All Money Market -19.912 -0.77 2,560.250 1,092 Funds All Municipal 0.345 0.09 393.086 1,408 Bond Funds (Reporting by Trevor Hunnicutt; Editing by Jennifer Ablan and Andrew Hay)

6. Tell us something about you that's "off-the-wall".
Some people know this, but I hate cereal and milk together. The look, the smell, everything. It makes me gag. My kids RARELY get to eat cereal. It's like a special treat.

HELL yes, I would keep it in the backyard and feed it romaine lettuce off of my second story deck. I would also take it to an apple orchard, so it could pick the best apples from the tree. I would also walk out side every morning and sing:
Now, I will answer Kristen's questions!
1 – If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
Temporal Stasis.

Social Media, a New Customer Intelligence Platform for More Sales
Today, companies are increasingly using social media for business purposes. They integrate its power to enhance internal and external communication, marketing and recruitment trails. Alongside, a majority of businesses also use it to enrich Customer Management Software and spur sales both, locally and globally.
Social media is an inventive apparatus that aids you to significantly initiate and extend conversations across online portals to reach out to more and more prospects in a short span of time. By doing this, it gives you prolific opportunities in sales and assists you to branch business growth from ground to sky.
Currently, it is the fastest customer intelligence platform that diligently helps you to achieve rapid sales. So, let's take a look on a few major ways through which it can help you in sales.
Form a vast Network
Every business intends to extend its network across sectors and industries. Today, social media can speedily help you in this endeavour. All you need to do is create a profile on different platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and more. Alongside, start joining various groups and communities on these forums that are relevant to your business. This way, you can touch base with numerous prospects across cities and towns, not only in India but globally as well.
Social Posts
Your second step here should be to embrace one of the best Business Intelligence Solutions i.e. blog- posts. Through blog-posts you can initiate conversations within the group and stay active on social platforms. If done regularly and in the right style, this technique can well establish you as a thought leader. Today, you can also post videos on YouTube to touch base with prospects who prefer listening or watching instead of reading.
Content is the foundation of any brand or a business. It conveys your vision, values, ethos and offerings to the prospects and gives them a chance to learn about your business through Salezshark crm, even before you pitch. Hence, it becomes crucial of all companies to build strong, profound and customer- centric content. Today, you can easily achieve this, by gaining insights of your customers through Sales CRM, Marketing Automation CRM and more.
Fastest route to attain customer feedback is through social media. Customers present here, give you instant feedback through their comments which helps you to alter or modify the product/ service according to their need. Such customised product can deliver better results in sales. Besides this, real-time feedback from prospects also helps you to rapidly populate and enrich your Leads Management CRM Tool with relevant insights.
Build Relationships
Good relations often turn into leads. So, the most important thing for sales people is to develop and nurture relationships with customers. At present, social media gives you an open arena to do so. In this digital age, people share a lot of information/ concerns on social platforms; hence, you need to wisely monitor and listen to what they say and accordingly engage in a conversation to develop a relationship.

Not only are industrial-type products considered more efficient and effective, they're also thought of as the ultimate adult toy.
The only downside is that they can go out of favor if too many consumer product companies flood the market with versions of the professional model.
"People always want what someone else doesn't have. You're talking about a very select strata that wants a status symbol," a New York interior designer told The Wall Street Journal. She's installing the currently hot Traulsen industrial refrigerators in clients' kitch-ens, the kind with see-through glass front doors.
But, as the Journal says, "no sooner does an upscale home feature become common than the race is on to find its even trendier successor. The chic item of today has a way of being copied and popping up in the tract home of tomorrow." Sub Zero refrigerators have been pushed aside by Traulsens among the au courant. But my wife Merrilee tells me the Sub Zero 700 series now offers refrigerator or freezer drawers away from the main unit.
Sub Zero says its system "is not intended just for the kitchen. Think about refrigeration in the den, family room, master bedroom suite or an entertainment area." Yeah, think about that, Traulsen.
The other new kitchen item that's destined to be coveted by the rich and famous is the Miele dishwasher, which doesn't look or sound like a dishwasher because it has an internal control panel and is totally silent. Merrilee points out that the other hot trend, running contrary to the commercial equipment trend, is to design a kitchen that doesn't look like a kitchen. People are buying antique cupboards and furniture and using them in place of traditional kitchen cabinets.
The Journal article said other hot-ticket products, taken from the business-to-business world, are personal car-wash systems, complete with brushes, soap pads and blowers ("I call it my automotive bidet," one proud owner said); motorized clothes racks like they have at the cleaners; and, "for the truly chic urbanite," heated public sidewalks.
The aging baby-boom market is destined to collide head-on with the professional-to-consumer crossover market. With plenty of time and money on their hands, baby boomers are going to look for new hobbies that will evoke another vocation they always wanted to pursue.
So, over-50s with a love for dogs, cats and other assorted animals will buy those stainless-steel tables and other veterinary accoutrements to better service their pets. Local colleges might even offer classes on routine "vetcare" activities, such as grooming and vaccinations. Instead of a "great room" (which the Journal says is "well on its way to middle America"), people will build examination rooms equipped with grooming shears and pet medical supplies.
The power of the professional market first hit me a couple of summers ago. Merrilee and my older daughter, Heather, learned about a professional-cook supply store and a paper and provisions warehouse outlet. Neither store advertised to consumers, but they wouldn't turn down sales from anybody.
Merrilee and Heather had a great time shopping there because they could stock up on authentic restaurant stuff, such as red plastic deli baskets with paper liners, ketchup and mustard squirt bottles, and even a chef's hat.
At the paper and provisions place, Heather bought cardboard holders for hot dogs, ice cream cartons, Coca-Cola plastic drink cups with lids and a hole for the straw, individual-size cups for ketchup and paper hamburger wrappers.
As Merrilee says: "Sometimes little girls like to play restaurant. Well, sometimes housewives like to play restaurant." And, I have a feeling, there's a

There are many combinations of stitches that can be used to knit the fingers of a glove. I created a series of diagrams, with three different examples (patterns), to explain how fingers are created in knitted gloves. This is definitely the case where a picture (or several) is worth a thousand words. Using the approach outlined here, you will be able to create custom fitted fingers appropriate to the number of hand stitches on your needles. Read more
These instructions apply to a thumb knitted from a slot, created with a waste yarn placeholder. The advantages of this style of thumb include its ease of construction, ability to accommodate many stitch and color patterns and simplified glove construction. You continue knitting the pattern as if the thumb weren't there, which it isn't until later. When using two circular needles and this thumb design both the right and left hands can be knitted identically to the start of the fingers, reducing construction complexity. Read more ... for stepwise instructions and photos.
This mohair glove can be knitted in two lengths. The gloves were knitted from a skein of yarn left over after knitting a lace sweater. I wanted to have long gloves to wear with the sweater, but wasn't sure if I had enough yarn remaining, so I decided to start with a provisional cast on 4" from the wrist bone. This ensured that I had enough yarn to complete a pair of short gloves and could invisibly pick up stitches to augment the length afterwards. Shown is the short length, with the provisional cast on (green yarn) at the cuff.
I found it helpful to analyze how a glove fits before I designed my own knitting pattern. I looked at leather gloves and the single pair of knitted gloves that I had purchased, and studied the wear and fit problems. Then I knitted a pair to size, and documented the process as I progressed. The first step is measuring the hand and understanding how the measurements translate into the knitting pattern.

It's that time of year - we couldn't be more ready for sunshine. In celebration of the season give this icy refresher a try: Chocolate Granita, a chocolate treat served in Italy. Grazie Così Buono!
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coffee, water, and sugar. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, whisk in the chocolate, and continue to whisk until melted, about one minute.
Transfer mixture to a square glass or metal baking dish. Place on a level surface in freezer. After about 45 minutes, use a fork to begin to scrape the granita. Leave granita in freezer, scraping with a fork every 30 minutes until a fluffy, snow-like texture has formed, about 3 to 4 hours. Once the entire granita has reached this consistency, it is ready to serve.

Global Force Wrestling ring announcer David Penzer was a guest on the Wrestling Inc. Podcast on Wednesday where he talked about Shane McMahon praising him at the final WCW Monday Nitro in March 2001.
WrestlingINC.com owner Raj Giri asked Penzer what it was like backstage leading up to the end of WCW.
"You know, you're hoping for the best," Penzer explained. "Back then I was working in the office too, assistant to talent relations and I was sitting in on booking meetings, junior booking person and working for John Laurinaitis and talent relations and Terry Taylor so we were just kind of doing our jobs, hoping for the best. We didn't know.
"The Internet wasn't like it is now, you couldn't turn on your cellphone and get instant access. It was almost like a different world where you didn't get immediate feedback. Social media, Twitter, everything's immediate so we didn't have a choice. We just kind of went about our business and hoped for the best. But there was definitely an underlying sense that things weren't looking good. But again, it was a totally different world. You got up and read USA Today to get the news."

ProsWide variety of live sports and on-demand entertainment content. Reliable, high-quality streaming. Well-organized interface. Capable DVR functionality.
ConsExpensive. No ESPN. Can't watch content offline. Mobile app could use polish.
Bottom LineIf you're a sports fan and want to cut the cord, fuboTV is worth a look for its wide variety of sports programming as well as its other entertainment channels.
Cutting the cord doesn't mean you can't watch live sports or primetime shows. While the market for video streaming services is saturated, fuboTV is one of the few that primarily caters to sports fans. This "sports-first, but not sports-only" service combines 85 channels of bona fide sports, news, and entertainment content, easy-to-use DVR capabilities, and reliable performance. The best part is that fuboTV covers practically every major sport and league at the college, national, and international level and is available on a wide range of platforms. It's as expensive as a standard cable subscription and is missing a few notable channels, but otherwise, fuboTV is a great experience for sports fans.
Sports and Entertainment Galore
fuboTV's flagship subscription plan, fubo Premier, costs $19.99 per month for the first month, but that quickly jumps up to $44.99 per month after the introductory period. Its price has increased (from $39.99) and the trial period has been shortened (down from two months) since the last time we did a full review. fuboTV was expensive before and this increase makes the monthly cost a bit harder to justify, despite its 80+ channels spread across the sports, news, and entertainment markets. To be clear, these are not watered-down versions of channels, however; they are the real thing. You can watch the on-air channels, record live content to DVR storage, and binge through a good selection of on-demand shows and movies.
The Premier plan offers sports programming from NBC, CBS, FOX, NFL Network, NBA.TV, MSG, NESN, and several international channels. Basically, if there's a game or match you want to watch, fuboTV likely carries it, regardless of the sport or league.
There's also an impressive collection of entertainment channels. For example, fuboTV offers the Travel Channel, HGTV, and the Food Network for lifestyle content. You can get financial news from CNBC and FOX Business. FX, USA, SYFY, National Geographic, and the Weather Channel also make an appearance. Recently, fuboTV added AMC and Sundance TV to its lineup. In this sense, fuboTV is comparable to SlingTV and YouTube TV, although with a larger focus on sports.
One major omission, however, is ESPN. None of the subscription tiers or add-ons include ESPN programming, which could persuade some sports fans to look elsewhere. Additionally, fuboTV's news lineup is missing some key players. It has a good selection of channels including BBC America (new), MSNBC, NBC, and CBSN, but CNN and PBS are notably absent.
Recently, fuboTV launched a new, even
You can supplement any of these base plans with add-on content, though fubo Premier gives you the most options. For example, you can combine the Premier plan with the Latino or Português packages respectively for $12.99 and $14.99 per month. There's also an $8.99 Sports Plus option, which adds channels like the NFL Network's Red Zone and Fox College Sports. New packages include Adventure Plus ($4.99 per month), International Sports Plus ($5.99), and Showtime ($10.99 per month). If multiple people intend to use one account, then you may want to opt for the Family Share add-on, which increases the number of possible concurrent streams from two to three for an additional $5.99 per month.
For comparison, YouTube TV costs $40 per month and features more than 60 channels. Sling TV's cheapest plan costs $20, though it only includes 25 channels. Still, Sling TV's most expensive option is $40 per month and includes upwards of 50 channels. Hulu Live TV costs $39.99 and includes 50+ channels. All three of these services offer
On a desktop, you can only access fuboTV via the web, so you won't run into any compatibility issues with Windows or macOS. fuboTV offers apps for Android and iOS, as well as on Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Apple TV, and Roku. fuboTV recently updated its Roku app with the ability to continue watching video-on-demand (VOD) content from where you left off and a new Electronic Program Guide (EPG) that shows up to seven days of future scheduled content. You can try the service with a free seven-day trial on any platform, but unfortunately, this option requires a credit card. I tested out fubo Premier on a Windows 10 PC and a Google Pixel running Android 8.1.
Search and Select
Setting up a fuboTV account requires an email, a ZIP code, and a valid credit card. After you select your content plan, it takes you to the main page immediately. fuboTV gets points for not making users fuss with configuration settings, but I dislike that I had to provide a credit card up front. Both Netflix and Hulu have the same requirement, but that doesn't make it any less irritating.
fuboTV's interface is clean and compact. It uses a mix of black, grey, and white with occasional orange accents for emphasis. The dark blue color scheme of the previous version is now gone (for the better) and the layout feels more coherent. The top menu is organized into five sections: Sports, Series, Movies, Channels, and My Videos. In the upper-right-hand corner, you can access account settings and Help section.
The Sports tab (default) shows a couple of featured events in a top-level slider, along with air times and recording options. All the different sports categories appear across the top, which you can filter further based on their associated leagues. Below that, fuboTV displays a complete list of sports events for the day. From here, you can jump into watching a live event or hit the DVR button to schedule a recording. Alternatively, you can navigate up to 72 hours backward in time from the day to view Lookback content (more on that later) or forward up to 10 days to schedule a future recording.
fuboTV divides entertainment content into two categories: Series and Movies. You can browse content based on what is popular, currently broadcasting, or by genre. It also lets you search for shows directly. Of course, fuboTV doesn't create original content, which you will find on Netflix and Hulu.
Strangely, you can't navigate backward from the current day to view Lookback content from the guide. A new header, called Networks, allows you to select and view content from specific channels. For example, if you click on CBS, the interface shows a brief summary of the network, a list of live and upcoming content, and any on-demand series it offers. However, fuboTV doesn't integrate any of the search options from the other sections here, which is disappointing.
The My DVR screen features large thumbnails and organizes content into a simple list structure. You can use a search bar to search for a team, league, sport, or channel, but I wish I could search by date, as well. Also, the search doesn't pick up on general sports names either, so instead of "baseball," I had to search for "MLB." This might not be too much of an issue if you don't plan on recording a lot, but it could become an issue if you tend to horde content.
The overlay on the video-playing screen is minimally intrusive and disappears quickly into the background, as it should. Live events and DVR content launch quickly, and I rarely encounter lag or stutters while streaming. In fact, the whole interface is snappy. I had no trouble watching live PGA Tour events, news on MSNBC, or 60 Minutes on CBS. Switching between channels is painless and streams launch quickly.
Record and Rewind
fuboTV has robust DVR functionality. The base account includes 30 hours of DVR storage, though the Cloud DVR Plus add-on increases that limit to 500 hours for an extra $9.99 per month. It records DVR content to the cloud and keeps shows and programs
I like that you can schedule DVR recordings well into the future. Unfortunately, there's no option for watching DVR content offline on mobile devices. Both Netflix and Amazon Prime Video let you download content for offline viewing. Catching up with the game on a long flight or commute would surely appeal to many users. Or if a video takes up too much space to store or is simply inconvenient, an option to just listen to the game's audio should be an option.
Another cool feature of fuboTV is Lookback. With Lookback, you can go back up to 72 hours in the past to view any sports or entertainment events that you missed. All you have to do is click on the calendar and navigate back to the original airdate. Unfortunately, you can't record Lookback content to DVR storage. Further, although the vast majority of channels do support Lookback, some do not.
One of the newer FuboTV features, Startover (currently in beta), lets viewers watch currently airing events from the beginning no matter when they tune in. For example, if you are in the middle of cooking or cleaning when a game or program is set to start, you don't have to rush; just launch the stream whenever and drag the progress bar back as far as you want. According to fuboTV, this feature is currently available on about 25 channels, including AMC, BBC America, NBA TV, and Pac-12 Networks. In practice, this works well. I launched a live show on NBA TV and had no trouble navigating back to the start. I also wish fuboTV had a picture-in-picture mode for large-screen devices.
Recently, fuboTV launched support for the 4K and HDR10 streaming standards (in beta), starting with broadcasts of the 2018 World Cup on FOX and FS1. It seems likely that fuboTV will continue to expand coverage going forward. In order to stream 4K or HDR content, you need a device or display that supports those standards as well as the latest version of the fuboTV app. The company's list of compatible devices includes the Apple TV 4K, Chromecast Ultra, FireTV 4K, FireTV Cube, Roku (Premier, Premier+, Ultra), and Android phones, such as the LG V30, Razer Phone, Samsung Galaxy S9, or Sony Xperia XZ2. Also note, that fuboTV recommends a connection speed of at least 40Mbps to stream this content.
Watch Wherever You Are
Downloading and signing in to the mobile app is a pain-free experience, though you do have to give it permission to access your location (not uncommon for this sort of service). The app boasts a dark theme with white and orange highlights. It looks sleeker than the previous version, which relied on a predominantly dark blue color scheme and was a bit cumbersome to navigate.
The main view shows a series of featured sports events scheduled for the week in large, beautiful thumbnails. Below that are categories for Live & Up Next Content, Recently aired games, and a category list of the different types of sports content it offers.
On the bottom, you can tap to switch between the Sports section (the default), Series, Movies, Channels, and MyFubo (new). The Series and Movies sections are organized similarly to the Sports Section, with highlighted content up top and a breakdown of all its offerings below.
The MyFubo Section shows your recorded content, scheduled recordings, and the Continue Watching section. This last section should theoretically populate with shows and programs that you started on another device, but this never worked for my account either for live shows or on-demand content. The profile icon leads you to page where you can connect a Facebook or Google account, opt out of sending your data to
The mobile app offers all of the same viewing functionality as the desktop app, so you can watch any live events, record content to your DVR storage, and even watch Lookback content. Performance is quick. It only took a few seconds before it launched a live stream at full quality. I used PCMag's fast 60Mbps (download) Wi-Fi connection for testing on mobile, three times as fast as fuboTV's recommended bandwidth of 20Mbps. I don't recommend trying to stream over a cellular network, as to avoid ridiculous data-usage costs. Playing recorded DVR content worked just as quickly on mobile.
! Team
If you don't have a cable subscription, you have many options when it comes to streaming TV shows and movies. However, this selection gets considerably smaller when it comes to streaming live sports. fuboTV offers an impressive 85-channel lineup of sports and entertainment content, multiplatform support, and dead-simple DVR functionality. It costs almost as much as a standard cable subscription and could still benefit from additional channels (especially CNN and ESPN), but it's an otherwise excellent option for cord-cutters.

Today Bangkok, February 14, Ricoh Company, Ltd. (Shiro Kondo: President and CEO), announced plans to purchase 121,000 square meters of land from Amata City Company, Ltd., to build a production plant for laser printers and MFPs in order to reinforce its manufacturing network in Asia.
With this new plant Ricoh is seeking to build a production hub, exchanging parts, materials, human resources and know-how within the Asean region. This action is in line with the concept of the CEPEA, including EPA/FTA. At the same time the new facility will realize a sufficient capacity of production to meet increased business needs, while serving as a hedge against over-dependence on China. Furthermore Ricoh aims to strengthen its customer relationships throughout the Asean region by coordinating with its regional sales network, starting with Ricoh (Thailand).
Today marks the occasion of the signing of the land reservation contract between Ricoh and Amata.
Outline of the new plant:
1. Name and representative director (to be decided)
2. Location: Amata City industrial park, Rayong prefecture, Thailand.
3. Size of land: 121,000 sq meter
4. List of products: monochrome laser printer, color laser printer, color MFP and related parts.
5. Production capacity: (140,000 units/month starting at 20,000)
6. Number of employees: 4,000 starting at 1,200
7. Initial investment: 10 billion yen.
8. Start of construction: August 2008 (projected)
9. Start of operations: September 2009 (projected)

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
For a brief, glimmering moment in my preadolescent years, I had bigger boobs than all my friends.
It didn't last long. As soon as everyone else linked their cares to the furious and snarling Puberty Engine, I would fall behind, and stay there. It wasn't a huge surprise, to be fair -- my mom was quite notoriously flat-chested as I was growing up, a point that, like most small-bosomed women, was both a source of freedom (bra-wearing as option and not necessity!) and annoyance (no big boobs to boob out with).
I topped out as a B-cup -- well, really an A+ cup, but the bra size I generally wear is 46B, because what 46A bras exist are neither particularly comfortable or cute, and are not much cut for dresses that would show cleavage if significant cleavage I had. So a 46B it is, and I MOSTLY fill it out. Indeed, my biggest problem tends to be with swimwear, which is always cut for significantly larger boobs than I can supply and into which I have historically sewn a properly fitting-bra so as to mitigate this problem.
I feel like I know my tits pretty well, all things considered. And yet, here's the thing: for most of my life I have pretty much never done regular monthly self-exams. Part of this is just avoidance -- I'm sort of put off by doing exams because on some level I'm afraid I might feel something weird and then have to freak out about it. But part of it is also that I never feel like I know how to do it right.
Thus I was pretty psyched when, a few years ago, the American Cancer Society decided to reframe regular self-exams as optional, in light of gathering evidence that found that these checks didn't seem to improve your chances of being diagnosed, and may actually do damage by causing many women to have biopsies they don't need.
And this might be true. But the fact remains that of the three women my own age I've known to have breast cancer -- all of whom have survived, yay -- ALL THREE initially found their first lump by a self-exam. Two found said lumps within a few weeks of an annual physical in which their doctors performed an exam themselves and found nothing suspicious.
This is not to say that doctor checks aren't useful. Before I had a doctor who did annual breast checks as part of my regular pelvic exam, whenever I tried to do a self-exam I would rather stupidly mash the shit out of my boobs, which was unpleasant, and therefore led to me avoiding doing it. Turns out mashing is unnecessary, and the point is really just to become familiar with your boobish tissues; the idea is that if you know your boobs really well, you'll notice any changes, even if they're slight.
A doctor who sees you once a year? Probably not going to notice changes like you are, groping yourself on the regular so any new additions stand out to you.
We've all heard it before, but here's a refresher in how to do a self-exam. Also, BreastCancer.org has some useful self-feeling tips, like it's a good idea to do your exam at the same point in your monthly cycle since your boobs may feel different depending on where your hormones are at. Also, that you shouldn't freak out if you feel something that feels maybe lumpy possibly, since most boobs are not uniformly the smooth consistency of a bowl of expertly-prepared Jello instant pudding. Lumpiness may be normal for you -- the point is to notice any NEW lumpiness that changes from your regular lumptastic baseline.
They also suggest keeping a journal of your boob experiences. ACTUALLY, they suggest making boobmaps, on which you note your archeological breast findings and their locations so you remember what's normal and what's not. This is just hilarious enough that I might consider doing it.
So how about you? Do you guys do regular self-exams? If not, why not? Are you trying to be better about it? Let's talk tit health in comments.

we might yet show them all;
those who doubt true belief
who break when they land,
those who don't hold hands,
who don't climb trees.
we might yet stand on a corner embracing
like two teenagers.
like lovers outside of time
stones shaped by the waterfall

but manifests as a beam of light
we haven't failed, the sound says

Maritime News
Seafarers still face danger in piracy-prone waters
10 March 2017
Seafarers continue to face dangers in several "hot-spots" where pirates and robbers are active in targeting vessels for criminal attack. Recent incidents reported to the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) worldwide Piracy Reporting Centre (PRC) include the following.
- Seven men armed with guns fired on a bulk carrier around 106 nautical miles off Bayelsa, Nigeria on 8 March. The vessel increased speed and commenced evasive manoeuvres, and all non-essential crew retreated to the citadel. The pirates abandoned their attack after 40 minutes and moved away.
- A skiff with around six people approached and followed a cargo ship for about 90 minutes around four nautical miles off Lihiman Island, Philippines on 5 March. The master raised the alarm, increased speed and activated the fire hoses. A Malaysian patrol vessel escorted the vessel to Sandakan port.
- Three robbers boarded a tanker anchored at Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela on 1 March. The alarm was raised and the crew mustered, and the robbers escaped empty-handed.
- Two robbers boarded an offshore support vessel about six nautical miles off Mumbai, India on 17 February, stole ship's equipment and escaped.

Daemen College is the only institution in New York to be selected as one of the top "50 Best Value Small Colleges" in the U.S. for both business administration and biology degrees by Best Value Schools, an online guide to the best values in college education across the country.
"Daemen's rise in national rankings and reputation indicates a growing awareness of the outstanding quality of our programs, faculty and student learning experience," Daemen President Gary A. Olson said. "We are pleased to be recognized with these new top rankings that represent our steadfast commitment to academic excellence and to making an exceptional Daemen education accessible and affordable to our students."
In the 2015 listings, Daemen is ranked No. 47 among small schools in the U.S. offering a bachelor's degree in business administration, and No. 48 among institutions offering a bachelor's degree in biology.
Based on data from College Navigator that's maintained by the National Center for Education Statistics, each of the lists include top small colleges across the country with 3,000 or fewer students that offer an undergraduate degree in business administration or biology. Rankings also are based on net price, which factors in tuition, financial aid and additional expenses, and admission/selectivity rate.
"As these rankings indicate, we offer undergraduate degree programs of the highest quality at an exceptional value," said Dr. Michael Brogan, Daemen vice president for academic affairs and dean of the college. "In particular, the business administration and biology programs provide rigorous academic curriculums and a learning experience that inspires students to be successful in the classroom and in their careers."
The Best Value Schools rankings are the latest in national distinctions that laud Daemen for value and return on investment. The college was named among the top 200 private colleges in the country for best ROI in PayScale's 2015 report. It also was selected one of the "50 Most Affordable Small Colleges for a Human Resources Degree" by HumanResourcesMBA.net.

Architecting the software for the Catena 1911
Series Introduction
This post inaugurates[1] a new series describing how MCCI is approaching converting our Catena 1910 HSIC USB and MIPI.HSI analyzer/generator platform from PCIe to USB 3.0. I figure it may be interesting (at least to MCCI people) to track, step by step, our thought processes.
The Catena 1911 is the combination of a fairly large FPGA and a compute platform. Here's the gory detail from the schematic:
The 1910 uses PCIe to connect to a Windows system (through ExpressCard slots, usually). (You can see the product brief here.) The 1911 is a new version of the 1910 that uses PCIe or USB 3.0 -- more on that decision below.)
The remainder of this article is an overview of the system architecture for the 1910 and 1911 to give the interested reader an idea of the size of the problem space. (The next article will go into the details of the software architecture.)

In BBC The Reading Group, we bring together listeners, students of English, literature teachers and other contributors from the world of books to share their enthusiasm for reading.
We discover the history behind one of the most famous places for reading in the world – the Reading Room of The British Museum in London. Author Jenny Hartley talks about reading groups around the world.
Listen to the BBC The Reading Group Part 6 programme:
ANNOUNCER: You're listening to The Reading Group from the BBC World Service. In this series we bring together listeners, students of English, literature teachers and other contributors from the world of books to share their enthusiasm for reading. We hope that following this series will encourage your own interest in reading books in English as a foreign language.
Gary: Hello. In The Reading Group today, we visit one of the most famous places for reading in the world – the Reading Room of The British Museum in London. Who used to study there? And what kind of library is it today? We send a Reading Group reporter from Argentina to find out.
Well, later in the programme, in the last of our talks about the reader as a detective, author Gillian Lazar offers help on understanding the themes of a novel.
But first: an update on reading groups. You might be wondering why to join one – reading is after all very much a private pleasure. Well, our studio guest today has done a survey of 350 reading groups in the UK and she can tell us what makes them tick. Jenny Hartley is the author of The Reading Groups Book, published by Oxford University Press. Jenny, welcome.
Jenny: Hello. I'm from Roehampton University in Surrey where I've been teaching English literature and women's writing in particular for many years.
Gary: Jenny, how do you explain the growing number of reading groups?
Jenny: Well, it does seem to me that people have always read in groups, more so before the days of cheap printing and the spread of literacy. And for many of us, reading does start as a group experience, if you think back to your past and you think of sharing books with your parents and perhaps with your brother and sister, and usually that's a very good memory.
Gary: It's true that books are often read to us when we are young and it's a group activity, but reading is also thought of as a solitary activity, one person described it as the lone voyage.
Jenny: Yes, and some people hate the idea of sharing books with each other and they do see it as something you do on your own in private. But I think there's also a growing recognition that people have always shared books as well, and that reading can be a collective experience.
Gary: So, in some senses the reading group phenomenon is not a new one.
Jenny: Oh, definitely not. It goes right back. There is a wonderful carving on a cathedral in Spain of the apostles sharing their bibles with each other, so a sense there of arguing with each other and talking and discussing what they are reading.
Gary: You did a survey of about 350 reading groups. What did you ask them? What were you trying to find out?
Jenny: Who's in the groups, what kind of people join reading groups, and we wanted to find out about the books. What are they reading, what is it that makes a good or bad book for a reading group?
Gary: Where do these reading groups happen?
Jenny: Anywhere you can think of. Mostly they happen in people's houses. Bookshops as well are quite a good place, but of course it's got to be quite a big bookshop.
Some groups prefer to meet in a wine bar or a cafe. I've come across groups all over the place. There's one in a dentist's waiting room, after hours, and I think that's a great use of the space. There's a group that meet in the zoo because they are reading stories about animals.
Gary: So, people are reading everywhere. What exactly are they reading?
Jenny: The top books that people read mainly are literary fiction or modern fiction, books that are being produced now. Though reading groups often would like to vary what they read so perhaps they'll decide to read a non-fiction book every now and again, and history is quite popular.
Gary: In your research, did you come across any groups where there's a mix of native speakers of English and non-native speakers of English.
Jenny: Yes, some of the keenest groups we heard from are ones where they're made up of a mix of English-speaking incomers who want to get to know the country they're living in and perhaps they don't many people there because they've just arrived, and non-English speakers who want to improve their English. So it's ideal for both sets of people, it's a kind of win-win situation. And we heard of quite a few groups like this in countries all over the world, such as in Spain, India and Greece. The Greek group choose their books very imaginatively.
Partly they are constrained by what they can get hold of, but they also have an idea of what will work well for them. They did very well with Ted Hughes's translations from Ovid. The Greek speakers could bring different things to the group to everyone else, so that's what makes for a good session.
Gary: When you were looking at the data you collected, did you find anything that makes a group more likely to succeed than fail?
Jenny: What really makes for a good session with a group, is a book that causes controversy, that has a lot of different opinions coming in. The thing about that is, you really can't predict what it's going to be. If you all love a book, sometimes it can fall a bit flat, because after you've all said "we all loved it" where do you go from there? If a book has something you can argue about, precisely what did happen, that's what makes for a really good session. Most groups like a certain degree of argument. You'll get to know each other and how you like to read, and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it.
Gary: Jenny Hartley, thank you very much.
Now just a short walk from our BBC World Service base here at Bush House is The British Museum. And this houses a very special and historic library – The British Museum Reading Room. We sent Reading Group reporter Adrian Sack to discover more about the place where Karl Marx, author of The Communist Manifesto, used to study almost every day for thirty years.
Insert 1 – British Museum Reading Room package
Adrian (Reporter): Adrian: The British Museum Reading Room opened in May 1857. It cost one hundred and fifty thousand pounds to build, and is one of the largest domed buildings in the world. Originally, it was home of the British Library, and only to be used by very few readers, who needed a special library card. Now, the British Library has moved to another building in London and the Reading Room is open to the general public. I had an appointment with the librarian, to find out some of the library's history, and to discover who uses it today. It was a wonderful moment when I stepped into the vast circular room.
Adrian: …This room looks like a great tram. I can see thousands of interesting books, of every colour and size. I've come to meet Pam Smith, the librarian. Pam, what was the reading room like when it opened in 1857?
Pam Smith (librarian): When it first opened the Reading Room looked very much like it does now, because it's been refurbished to look just like it was when it first opened. This is a wonderful circular room and the desks are arranged like a spider's web, coming out from the centre of the room. There is room for 300 places here and at times it must have been very crowded. In the middle of the room we have a raised desk where the superintendent of the room would sit so that he or she could observe what was going on throughout the room.
Adrian: What was the Reading Room for?
Pam: Originally it was the British Library Reading Room and it was a library for those people doing particular research. It was a library of last resort. If they couldn't find a book anywhere else this was the library to come to. An application had to be made to use the room, so it was a very special place.
Adrian: What is the Reading Room used for now?
Pam: Now, it is the British Museum's information centre. So if you want to find out more about a particular object in the British Museum, if you want to research the cultures that are represented here, this is the place to come.
Adrian: What else do the people look for here?
Pam: They may just come as a place to study, because it is a rather nice environment to sit and just do personal study.
Adrian: You are showing me two very old books. What do they contain?
Pam: These are the British Museum's Signature of Readers. They are books that anyone using the Reading Room had to sign to say that they would a bide by the library regulations. Here we have number 9404, which is Karl Marx.
He was a regular reader here. He came for about 30 years, he was using this room as a place of study. We think he probably sat in the range of seats between K and P because that's where the politics books would have been, in the reference section around the room. So it may be one of these seats that Karl Marx sat in. In fact it was a very popular room with revolutionaries. We think Lenin worked here as well, and there are stories that the Tsarist police were trying to track them down in London, so some people applied for a reader's ticket under false names, so they could be less easily traced.
Gary: Our Reading Group reporter was talking to librarian Pam Smith.
Now Gillian Lazar joins us again, this time, with a guide to help you understand the themes of a novel.
Insert 2 – Gillian Lazar
Gillian: Like a detective, a reader gathers clues – the words in a book. Like a detective, a reader tries to reconstruct what happened and why. Like a detective, a reader knows that the story of what happened is shaped by its teller, and needs to be evaluated accordingly. But detectives, unlike readers, are interested in unambiguous facts – the date, the time, the place of the crime. For a reader, there is interpretation rather than facts. So what helps us, as readers, to make an interpretation of the themes of a novel?
When we read a novel, we begin, like detectives, with the facts. Imagine for example, that we read a novel about a hoard of Roman coins that a farmer discovers buried on his land. The questions asked by a detective may include – when were they discovered and by whom? But as the reader of a novel we might use these facts to raise wider questions about the meanings of the discovery, such as: How has the farmer's life changed since he found the coins, or even, what do the Roman coins represent or symbolise? In other words, when we read a novel we ask philosophical questions about its deeper meanings. And asking these kinds of questions helps us to interpret the themes of the novel.
Something else which can help us to interpret the themes are any groups of words which recur throughout a novel, and which may begin to take on a symbolic value as we read. In F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, for example, a number of words reappear repeatedly. These are 'dust', 'ashes' and 'smoke', and they are in marked contrast to the many other words describing radiance, brightness and glamour in the book. These two opposing lexical groups provide us with clues to some of the themes of the novel – the moral corruption that lies at the heart of the glamorous world that Gatsby, the main character, so desperately wants to enter, for example. So, be aware of any groups of words which recur throughout the chapters of a novel, and which seem to have more than just a descriptive or factual significance. Ask yourself these questions: Do these words contrast with any other clusters of words in the text? Do these words have any symbolic or metaphorical significance which can help us to understand the novel's themes?
The job of a detective is to solve a case – to have a neat and tidy answer to a mystery. But this is where we, as readers, part company with our detective. For we will never have neat and tidy answers; only the many questions that the themes of a novel raise for us, and the many interpretations we make of them.
Gary: Thanks to Gillian Lazar. Next time we begin a new series of talks, starting with an introduction to simplified readers. And we interview a best selling author of these fantastically helpful books.
ANNOUNCER: And that brings us to the end of today's programme. If you'd like to share your reading experiences, you can join our BBC Learning English group on Facebook. We'll have topics on the Discussion board linked to the subjects covered in The Reading Group programmes. So, until next time, happy reading!
