Some Of The Things That You Need To Know About Modern Landscape Design
At the time it comes to present day landscape layout you will be able to come across lot of decorative alternatives available for you. The clean physical looks of modern yards are very popular and also extremely important for households, hotels and businesses. But creating and making it work is actually much more than just creating modern landscape design and as this imparts a more neat and clean look to the outdoor segment of the house.
Here are some of the advices and recommendations on how you can retain your present day modern landscape design for long time:
- Before you make a big decision one thing that you need to keep in mind is that you should start with creating an outline for the garden.
- This outline can comprise decorations like stepping stones, flowerbed, small ponds, fountains, furniture and other such things.
- It should also include the list of different plants, trees, grasses, shrubs, bushes, etc as well. You can also include in the outline the design and style especially with reference to any figurine or statue that you would like to install inside the garden.
- Make sure that you pay close attention to the shape of your flowerbeds inside and the hedges surrounding. As far as choices are concerned there is a wide range of selection available.
Modern landscape designs:
- One thing that you need to know is that modern landscape design is more than just aesthetics. In case you would like your garden to really look good then it is really vital to select meticulously at the time of selecting plants.
- Many newbie designers end up introducing invasive species. They actually do not consider that these plants might choke or destroy other plants.
- These kinds of plants can have impact on the entire yard and you should avoid such species. When you avoid such species you will be able to prevent your garden from destruction and save yourself from spending a lot of amount for the garden reconstruction. Hence make sure that you appoint experienced professional to help you with modern landscape design.
Choosing plants that can cool your environment:
- On top of that one more thing that you need to consider for modern landscape design is choosing plants that are not only aesthetically pleasing but all those which can actually compliment the entire garden environment.
- In case pollination is the basic concern then you need to try to plant flowers that will naturally appeal to bees and hummingbirds.
- In case there is some part of your garden that is in danger of erosion then you need to make investments in some good hearty grasses. This will help in maintaining the greenery all throughout. You must be a bit careful and cautious while styling and designing you will be amazed to see that your garden remains healthy.
- Another thing on which you need to pay attention to at the time of modern landscape design is deciding on different stones to make your garden look good. This can comprise stones that are carved in various modern day patterns to be used as stepping stones or just stones used for building borders along the flowerbeds.
- You need to know that stone patio can work wonders for creating the serene and modern landscape design ambiance which you always wanted. You can create a beautiful and steady appearance by sticking with one specific kind of stone. Other than that you can add creative twist through including diverse shades and textures.
In case you think that doing landscape designing is something that you would not be able to do it on your own then you need to hire the professional landscape designers to do the job for you.

I had a hard decision to make. I traded my Chinese Sks for ammo. That was my first rifle I ever purchased and I have fond memories of it at the range and in the woods. But I just know with ammo prices and availability, I needed to make a "management decision". I got plenty of .223 and some odd amounts of .308, 9mm, and even a box of 30-30. I just think a little ammo ahead is the thing to have. You can't shoot your gun without ammo. It could become impossible to buy surplus, and regular ammo could get extremely expensive, if it's available. I still have my favorite rifles and will most likely hang on to those. But who knows. Also, ammo could become a hot commodity. When a hurricane is out there, its nice to have plenty of food and water, and a full tank of gas.

The most noticeable feature of a pickup truck is its open-top cargo compartment. The big space offered by the rear cargo compartment's open-top feature comes in handy when transporting bulky loads. However, the lack of a protective covering for the vehicle's cargo may prove to be dangerous. In this case, the tailgate is the only defense of the pickup truck's cargo. The tailgate is a hinged panel mounted at the rear of the cargo compartment. The tailgate's location ensures that your pickup truck's load doesn't fall out of the cargo compartment.
The tailgate also acts as the safest entry and exit point for the cargo compartment. Because the tailgate is used frequently, it is highly prone to damage. Impact from road debris, as well as carelessness can result in the tailgate's early deterioration. Minor chips only ruin the tailgate's surface, but a bigger damage affects the tailgate's locking mechanisms. Because of faulty tailgates, you can easily lose cargo on the road, or worse, endanger other motorists. Fortunately, these problems can be avoided with the installation of a Better Built tailgate cover.
Better Built is popular for manufacturing high-quality and affordable truck accessories. The brand's tailgate cover is no exception. The Better Built tailgate cover is the ultimate tailgate protection for your pickup. The tailgate cover is a convenient accessory for guarding your tailgate's surface from scratches and dents. With the tailgate cover, you don't have to worry about external elements damaging your tailgate. The Better Built tailgate cover is made from high-grade aluminum with a diamond plate design. The diamond plate design decreases the friction created during loading and unloading of cargo. Additionally, the Better Built tailgate cover comes in a variety of styles and designs to complement your pickup truck.
What more can you ask for? The tailgate cover provides everything your tailgate needs, from protection to style. Search for the right Better Built tailgate cover here at Parts Train–the home of durable yet budget-friendly Better Built products. Do not waste your time looking for tailgate covers elsewhere. All the accessories and replacements you need for your pickup truck can be found right here at Parts Train.

Kombucha Kamp Product Review
Today we're going to have a look at an unboxing of a Kombucha Kamp purchase. GirlattheHelm is going to take us through it, describing in detail what comes in the package, as well as what it does and her impressions of it. She got it for a Valentine's gift! How lucky!
Kombucha Kamp scores high reviews on Amazon. A quick review shows scores in the four and five star range.
As usual, we have transcribed the video so that you can skim it easily or easily find specific details to assist you in making your purchase. You can find that text below the video.
Kombucha has been gaining in popularity over the last few years, with people ascribing many health benefits to consuming it. But we're not doctors, we're just here to help you make your consumer experience more informed.
To check out Kombucha Kamp's selection at their website, you can click this link. And if you want to consider some more reviews at Amazon, here ya go!
Ok. We are unboxing Kombucha Kamp. We have a brewer cap. A purple one. These are for my second brew. They are organic elderberries. Nice. This is a concentrate. These are the muslin teabags. This is the year-round heating system that she sends out. So this is our thermometer strips. This is for specialty blend. But we have Ph. strips. This is the evaporated cane juice sugar which is the best thing you can use for brewing kombucha. This is one of the mesh tea balls. This is the good one. Awesome.
Now for the big look-see. Scoby. We're going to kind of give you the difference between, size-wise. These are really nice. We're looking at five, six inches across. They're a pretty good size in comparison. This is my little mini-scoby. You can see the difference. They're on par thickness-wise but this one's smaller. So these are good. They make a gallon each. That's why you get two of them. The container itself will be about 2.5 gallons. And this will be the starting point. T
his is her very-well packaged heater and the reason it's cool is because you don't have to use the regular heating pads to warm your kombucha during the winter months. So this is specifically constructed by her understanding of kombucha as well as by engineers, so it's completely safe. It's using all certified parts. So you can see this is pretty darn interesting looking. It looks like a heater on the back window. These are all heat strips. This is nice because you do have the ability. I'm pulling this out because I want to show you the sides on it. This is how they seal it, so each component makes contact. You use the rubber bands. Here. And there's a how-to in there. It's nice because this will be able to go over the crock. She also sells t-shirts for your crock. I just don't know if they're applicable with the artisan stoneware that I'm getting. I really like this. It does come with a dimmer on it so we have the ability to know where we're at with the temperature and has the ability to adjust it.
Then we've got two kombucha scobies, we've got Hannah's special tea blend, we have the evaporated cane sugar, we have the muslin tea bags – three of those – and we've got the one large mesh ball. We have the concentrate, the PH strips, our thermometers. Then we have our flavoring. Dried elderberries. We've got our cap and I have the heating unit over here. So, altogether, that's what came in this package and it looks like everything we need to get started is right here. I have the .pdf and handbook available online.
This is a really great Valentine's Day gift. The packaging came good. I will note that the side of the package got smashed but that was a typical UPS thing, none of the contents were damaged. I really like this stuff. It looks like it comes in really, really good packaging. I mean, this is double sealed. I like that it's really thick plastic and it is heat sealed. It's not vacuum sealed, there is air in it, but there is a definite heat seal on it. Great job and we're really, really pleased so far and we can't wait to get the next big item that will allow us to brew.
Hopefully, that helps! Happy hunting! And make sure to check back for more deals and reviews.

I know, I know, I have vented about that before, but seriously, people do not no how to drive! Turning signals? What turning signals? I'm in the right turn only lane, but I'm going to turn left, and block those people that actually need to go.Crossing over for lanesof traffic at 60 mph, when the speed limit is 45.... I think that about covers it for now. Idiots.

Katy Perry has put to rest rumors of a connection between her newest hit "Part of Me" and her divorce from Russell Brand. Although some of the lyrics – like, "You can keep the diamond ring, it don't mean nothing anyway/ In fact, you can keep everything — except for me" – seem to relate to the end of her marriage, Perry tells MTV News the song is not about Brand.
"I wrote it two years ago, which is funny because everybody is like 'God, it sounds so current.' And some people that I work with were like 'You should just say you wrote it a couple of weeks ago.' I'm like 'I'm not a d—, I'm going to tell the truth.' I wrote it two years ago when I was writing and recording Teenage Dream, [but] it didn't feel right on the record. I would've had to take out one of my other songs that [made the album] a nice, complete package," Perry explains.
Perry, 27, and Brand, 36, split last December after one year of marriage. They reached a divorce settlement out of court and waived their right to a trial. "The parties have entered into a comprehensive written settlement of all issues, including, without limitation, with respect to the property to be confirmed or assigned to each party," court documents filed in February state.Brand will receive no spousal support from Perry, although under California law he was entitled to half of the money she earned during their marriage since they did not have a pre-nuptial agreement. Perry is estimated to be worth $70 million while Brand is said to be worth $20 million. Perry also requested that her name be changed back to Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson.

The barefoot trail goes through the Gontner upland moor from Jakobsbad to Gontenbad. Experience the unusual and varied sensations of walking barefoot and let yourself be surprised. Fields and streams alternate with rocky and asphalted sections, and there are Kneipp stations at the beginning and end of the trail so you can wash your feet. You can also bathe your arms in the «arm bath fountain» based on the Dr. Kneipp model, which lies halfway along the trail at the «Toobeschopf Museum». In Gontenbad you'll also find the famous natural mud bath where you can relax not only your feet, but your entire body.
Variation A: Since the barefoot trail goes along the route of the Appenzeller Railways, parts of the route can also be taken by train.
The barefoot trail covers mainly open terrain. While there are a number of restaurants nearby, you should wear some sort of head covering on hot days.
We ask that barefoot hikers stay on the trail. For safety reasons, you may not walk on the golf course. Farmers would appreciate it if guests do not walk in long grass.
The trail can be followed in both directions.
Places along the route: Jakobsbad - Gonten - Gontenbad

Our aim is to further enhance stakeholder engagement for proposed variations to LAPs. The new model involves emailing licensees and other stakeholders with a link to the ACMA website where all the information about draft LAPs is housed. This part of the site will be developed as the place for all information about LAPs and what's happening in licence area planning. Online ads on the websites of local publications and tweeting are also part of the new model.

From a powerful new voice in nonfiction comes this electrifying chronicle of a married man who leaves his wife to pursue a carefree bachelorhood - only to plunge into an abyss of shame, regret, and penis envy.
Thirty-year-old Alan Wieder has everything a man could possibly want: a nice home in L.A., a thriving Hollywood career, and to top it all off, a beautiful and adoring wife. Then one day in 2005 - the Year of the Rooster - he wakes up with questions: Have I settled down too soon? Am I consigned to a humdrum future of marriage, kiddies, home-cooked meals and hybrid SUVs? How the %&! did this happen to me?
And just like that - after ten years in a committed relationship - Alan decides to walk out on his wife to pursue his fantasy of becoming a hardcore bachelor. Explaining very little, thinking even less, he dives into his exhilarating new single existence - buying a vintage Porsche, moving into a tastefully decorated bachelor pad, ignoring his wife, and bedding as many chicks as possible. However, to Alan's surprise and dismay, becoming a single dude also unleashes in him a torrent of crippling insecurities that he didn't even know he had. And soon, his would-be swingin' bachelorhood is cut short - very short - by a strange and shameful obsession that drives him to utter madness.
Some men leave their wives only to discover that the grass isn't greener. What Alan Wieder discovers - about the perils of newfound freedom, and about his own fragile male psyche - is far more agonizing and wretched. In this riveting and brutally honest memoir, Alan recounts the true story of his impulsive, wild, and ultimately disastrous foray into bachelorhood. A tragicomic tale of betrayal, sexual (mis)adventure, and ultimately redemption, Year of the Cock marks the debut of a remarkably talented new writer.

A beautiful day in the City of Splendors: Shopping & Intrigue
Once again the sun rose on the most influential city in all of Toril, and it was going to be lovely. Spring has come to these parts, but today felt more like early summer. Bright, clear and warm, our adventurers rose feeling refreshed and renewed, although still quite filthy from their nights exertions. Quito's room was quiet and the door locked, so they headed downstairs as a party of 4. Lumiere inquired about Durnan, hoping to tell him of the second goblin patrol, the store room, and find out more about the Metal Master, but he was not available this morning. Thoral, Durnan's erstwhile appointment secretary and gatekeeper, told them to check back later. A big breakfast was on order, and then time to freshen up before a day on the town. They discussed their plans for today: some shopping and information gathering. First to the shopping. Heading to the Trades District, they unloaded some of their unneeded gear, picked up a pack for Wampa, and restocked on lamp-oil. They also wisely updated their wardrobe a bit, having a few changes of clothes is important when your outfit is soaked in goblin blood and covered in dirt. But most important was researching some of the loot they'd discovered. At Patient Fingers Finery, Lumiere and Wilkas had their finds appraised. 3 sardonyx gems = 150gp, plain gold ring, and gold necklace with teardrop solid gold pendent (in a style popular ~100 years ago) = 170gp. The ring with 1274 A.S inscribed upon it, the jeweler had no interest in buying. He wondered if it could be the betrothal ring from Salune Adarbrent, a noble woman from a prominent trading family who disappeared on the eve of her betrothal in 1274. It is the custom, particularly of the nobles, to put the family name first in all written and formal documents. Lumiere attempted to detect magic and noticed that the shop itself was wrapped in many kinds of magical protections and charms, and the betrothal ring was suffused with a faint blue aura. Corabelle, sitting outside, idly noodled on how much jewelry she might be able to fit into her pouches if given the chance, but was Lumiere warned her of the dense layers of magics inside and so she gave up on acquiring something nice to put around her neck, at least from that store. Next stop was at the Sharpened Quill to talk with Mycroft (and give Julien some scritches). Mycroft inquired about Quito, and asked Lumiere to send him along when she sees him next. Lumiere, Wilkas, and Corabelle got to hear the story of Salune Adarbrent:
She was the eldest daughter in the Adarbrent clan, and was due to be married to Todil Aran, the eldest son of a merchant clan in Neverwinter. The Todil's family history is apparently a bit piratical, and some eyebrows were raised among Waterdeep's nobles however the patriarch was convinced this was a good match for his daughter, as he had his eyes set on making stronger connections to the north.
However, on the morning of her betrothal, Salune had vanished. No reports of suspicous activity, nor any signs of struggle or entry were found. She had vanished, and no one ever saw her again. Her younger brother now leads the clan, and is not respected, but he is feared.
(Additional background supplied by Junqor Langedeap): The younger brother is a creature ruled by greed, and is dispised by Junqor. Whether this is because he is truly a bad man, or because he was Junqor's rival in teh shipping business, is an open question.
The ring that was found is apparently the ring she was wearing when she disappeared, but Mycroft suggested that going to the family might not be a great idea. Foul play was certainly suspected, and her brother (now the patriarch) had as much motive as any other person alive. Mycroft offered to do some discreet inquiries into the matter, provided the party come back and share their stories of adventure with him. Also, Julien (the cat) likes Wilkas, and that keeps Julian off of Mycroft's books, which is a great relief to him.
Upon leaving the Sharpened Quill, Corabelle notices that they are being followed by two separate parties: first and most obviously, by a pair of rough looking human men, and the more subtley by a fine looking dwarf in blue. At their next stop, Corabelle feints and drops under a wagon train heading south, skillfully dropping both tails and coming out behind them. The humans appear to be in disagreement as to what their orders are, and whether the party of Lumiere, Wampa, Wilkas and Corabelle was really the right target. They don't notice that the halfling has vanished, but the dwarf immediately catches on, and begins looking around him while still following the party of 3. Corabelle follows the follwers back to the Yawning Portal, where Wilkas, Lumiere and Wampa ascend and stake out a table with a good view of the door. Neither the men nor the dwarf follow them inside, as each of them turn and begin heading south. Unknowingly moving almost together in the throngs of people out this afternoon. Corabelle watches, and follows. Soon the men head down a street that takes them to the southeast, towards the Docks. She sticks with the dwarf, who was clearly more interested in her, than the others. As he winds his way south into the western docklands, she gets her first look at the depressed, occasionally depraved area known for cutthroats, drunks, press gangs and kidnapping. It's not as bad as she had heard, clearly it's got it's troubles, but normal people do attempt to make a living and this is their home. Eventually the dwarf knocks on teh access door in the side of a large building with the sign "Maereth's Storage." An unseen hand opens the door and he goes inside saying with exasperation "I lost her." As the door closes, she risks exposure rushes up to hear what she can of the conversation. Apparently, they are hoping to get ahold of her, and they will try to make contact tonight. Anything more gets lost in the clatter of Drays and wagons, street-hawkers, and drunken conversation on the street. Heading back, she notices the two men from before, still bickering over what they were supposed to be doing. With the beginning of a professional manner, she drops in behind them and follow them to a rougher part of the docklands and a Tavern in an alley off of one of the main streets. Inside the dive, where chairs and tables are bolted to the floor to discourage their use as improvised weapons, she attempts to eavesdrop, however it is much to noisy to hear anything of worth, but she does watch their meeting with a woman in a deep cloak. After watching the two thugs being berated and threatened, the cloaked woman quickly leaves the tavern and head north directly. Coribelle follows her through the Trades District, past the City of the Dead, and into the posh North Ward. Coribelle's plain cloak, and slightly grubby attire (by North Ward standards) would garner more attention from the City Watch, but as yet no one notices her. As her quarry turns left just before the North Gate, one watchful guard asks her business, and tells her to clear out of the North Ward. Corabelle complies, but slips his gaze and doubles back attempting to drop a tail on the becloaked woman. Eventually she does, and follows her west into the Sea Ward until she loses her in a maze of alleys between palatial townhouses and estates.
Heading back to the Yawning Portal, she notices no tail, and makes it back in time for supper. After filling Lumiere and Wilkas in on her day's trek, they attempt to see Durnan again, who is apparently called away on business, according to Thoral. The debrief Thoral, who seems concerned about the tails, intrigue is common in Waterdeep, but it is also rarely benign. Thoral suggests forgoing their rooms and staying in the hayloft over night, while he alerts Tordek who will be on watch all night.
While making plans to spend the whole evening at the table in the main hall, Corabelle notices Junqor Langedeap at a nearby booth. She give greeting, and he invites her to join him. Junqor is clearly still much upset at his son's death, but his grief has begun to harden into something sharp and fanatical. In his state, 'glad' and 'happy' are not words that describe any reaction of his, but he readily pays for the 6 left goblin ears that Lumiere took the previous night, and says he'll 'happily' pay for any additional ears they manage to liberate. He asks after his son's necklace, a gold chain and pendent with an onyx stone, and worries what 'they' would do with it. He hatred of goblins radiates off of him like a fever. At Wilkas' questioning, he briefly recounts his take on the Adarbrent clan, particularly it's current patriarch, and talks about how he intends to remake his family fortune starting with wagon trains to the north and east.
(Background from Mycroft: The Langedeap family history was typical of Waterdeep families. Several hundred years ago, his ancestors settled in Waterdeep with a nacent shipping business. Over the years it grew to a fleet of fast boats that did shipping as a way to pay the bills, but the passion was in exploration. New trade routes, and strange goods and spices were what made their name in Waterdeep. However a tragedy befell the clan, when they planned to resettle in some new land in the west. Most of the family and the accumulated wealth was loaded abort the Langedeap fleet and after they crossed over the horizon, they were never heard from again. Junqor has said "the ocean is a big place. I can only assume it took everything from me, but my son." And now the Underdark has taken even that.)
Apparently discussing his rival of the Adarbrents, Junqor had enough and promptly bid them good evening and left leaving his payment on the table.

*This week I'm reviewing an independent bottling of a single malt. These kind of releases are often single casks and limited to just a few hundred bottles. Of course, that means it might not be possible to obtain this exact expression anymore, however I still think it's worthwhile covering these expressions, just to give you an idea of what's out there. I'll give a little background on the bottlers themselves as well as covering the distillery of origin. Hopefully you'll find this useful.
When you first start to experiment with whisky the sheer choice on offer can be a bit intimidating. Having a little knowledge behind you can go a long way. To that effect, something you might want to look out for is whisky released by an independent bottler. These are a great way to further explore the world of whisky and often come at a reasonable price in comparison with official bottlings.
No two casks of whisky age the same way and distillers normally vat together multiple casks in order to get a consistent flavour profile from batch to batch. This vatting process leaves the customer safe in the knowledge that they'll be satisfied with their chosen dram time and time again but on the other hand, perhaps something is lost… A cask that matured particularly well perhaps, or developed some quirks of flavour along the way… A cask unlike all the others… That's where the excitement of single cask whisky begins.
Distilleries sell casks, sometimes just to raise a bit of capital, sometimes in a long standing deal with blenders and sometimes, because the maturation has resulted in something too 'different' to go into their core range. These casks often end up in the hands of independent bottlers who can release them without the pressure to stay true to a house style or to comply with a particular age statement.
A name I'm sure will crop up more than once on this site is Gordon & MacPhail. James Gordon and Alistair MacPhail founded their family grocers, tea, wine & spirits merchant in Elgin, Scotland in 1895. They bought casks of whisky in order to make blends to sell locally but before long they began to specialise in single malts, bottling whisky from distilleries like Macallan, Glenlivet, Glen Grant, Linkwood and Mortlach. Today they bottle single malts under many ranges which include The Cask Strength Collection, Connoisseur's Choice and The MacPhails Collection.
I'll be reviewing a bottle of Ledaig from Tobermory Distillery, bottled as part of the Connoisseur's Choice range. The distillery was founded in the town of the same name on the Isle of Mull, back in 1798, making it one of the oldest commercially operated distilleries in Scotland. The original name of the distillery, Ledaig means 'safe haven' in Gaelic. Over the years Tobermory has had a few rough patches and was closed for 41 long years between the 30s and the 70s. It reopened in '71 only to come very close to final closure in the 80s. It was saved then by current owners Burn Stewart and relaunched in 1993. The whisky that carries the Tobermory name is unpeated while that which carries the original distillery name of Ledaig is a peated version.
This particular release of Ledaig states that it was distilled in 1996 and bottled in 2013, making it 17 years old. This is one of the great things about Independent Bottlers… In my review of the Oban 14 year old, I mentioned that I like to see practical information on a label and this is exactly what I'm talking about – not only an age but a vintage as well. Furthermore, the label tells me that it was matured in refill American hogsheads and that it's natural colour and non-chill filtered. This gives us an idea what to expect from the dram.
The nose is Smokey and Grassy with Salty Sea Air, Seaweed and Lemon. Maybe even a hint of Kippers. In actual fact it's reminiscent of the Rock Oyster blended malt I reviewed in my previous blog. On the palate there's Honey, lots of Salt, Pepper and Cigar Smoke that lingers. A lovely dram in all honesty.
My first experience with Ledaig was with a non-age statement distillery release which was nice but a bit young and feisty. The official releases have been improving steadily and the standard 10 year old is a fine malt and a good alternative to Islay for those who like it smokey. If this 17 year old from Gordon & MacPhail is any indication, Ledaig can also handle a bit of age nicely which bodes well for future releases from the distillery.
The Scores: About the scoring system..
Smell: Much like the afore-mentioned Rock Oyster this just reeks of the coastline and casts up images of a storm brewing off some remote island. The smell of seaweed draped harbours and the ocean turning to froth on the wind. Wonderful.
Taste: Maybe a bit light on the palate but a good, smokey, salty treat nonetheless.
Value for money: If I remember correctly I paid around £45 – £50 for this. The average 10 – 12 year old (or more commonly these days, no age statement) single malts you find in supermarkets start at around £35 and are watered down to 40%. Here, for just a little extra you're getting a good age, higher strength at 46% and no chill filtering. That's why independent bottlers should be on your radar.
Total: 44 / 50

Why is Heidegger interesting?
For Heidegger, the question that philosophy should concern itself with above all is the meaning of being. What is the meaning of being? What does it mean for something to be? Before this question, language itself begins to break down.
What is it to be? This question is not the same as "what is" or "what kinds of beings are there"? The latter would be questions about particular beings – ontical questions, in Heidegger's words. The meaning of being itself would be an ontological question – indeed, the question that precedes all ontology. What is ontically closest is ontologically farthest: we somehow make use of the concept "being" constantly in our everyday life, but maybe for that very reason, it is very hard to theorise about it and become conscious of what it is.
Aristotle understood beings as substances with properties. This seems to lead quite directly to our western subject-verb-object languages, and to predicate logic, as we know it, for example, in computer science and mathematics. The stone is hard. hard(stone). P(x).
In Heidegger's view, since Aristotle, the sciences have been busy constructing ontologies of this kind – enumerating categories, describing what kind of things there are and what properties they have, and how the properties can be manipulated – but always in forgetfulness of being. The very core that such ontologies are meant to illuminate was left in the dark.
Being and Time is Heidegger's major work. It is very well worth the effort it takes to get through it (I recommend Hubert Dreyfus' Berkeley lectures for anyone attempting this on their own). Here, Heidegger tries to relate being and time to each other in such a way that they each become each other's horizons. Being becomes intelligible in terms of time, and time becomes intelligible in terms of being. Dasein – humans, beings such as ourselves – is the being which always already has an understanding of being, and lives in it. The questioning departs from this implicit, pre-ontological understanding.
If it is said that 'Being' is the most universal concept, this cannot mean that it is the one which is clearest or that it needs no further discussion. It is rather the darkest of all.
When we interrogate Dasein in order to gain an understanding of being, are we asking about humans, or about the universe? For Heidegger, the separation of the two is not possible. Any understanding of the universe that we experience – we humans, we as Dasein – is always dependent on our practices, our intellectual history, the understanding of being that we always already have. An objective, in the sense of being utterly separated, understanding of the universe is not possible (which is not to say that scientific efforts to be objective have no value – on the contrary). Inquiring about being seems to be simultaneously about the conditions for understanding ourselves and about the conditions for understanding the universe. These are not two separate domains.
Heidegger's account is not always crystal clear, but it does open up dramatically new perspectives on the world, on science, on life. It shows us that the everyday understanding of so much that we take for granted is utterly obscure.

THE community of Drumkeen has been left devastated following a tragic accident which claimed the life of a well-known local man.
On Thursday afternoon Norman Frizzell was found dead by his daughter after a tree fell on him in a fatal accident.
His funeral service will take place tomorrow (Saturday) in Convoy Reformed Presbyterian Church at 2pm with burial after in the adjoining cemetery.
Mr Frizzell (66) had been using a chainsaw to cut trees on land near his home and it is believed that the fatal injury took place while using the machinery.
The father of four was a well known mechanic who was highly-regarded in his local community.
For years he ran a small garage at his home and was known throughout Donegal in motor circles as a hard-worker.
He is survived by his wife Sheila and three daughters. His only son, Mark, worked in the garage with his father.
It is not clear exactly what happened but Mr Frizzell sustained injuries to his neck as a result of the incident.
However, he had gone to cut trees at 12.30pm in lands near his home at Augheygault and was found dead at 2pm by a daughter.
An investigation has been launched to discover how exactly the man died.
Emergency services rushed to the scene but it is understood that Mr Frizzell died at the scene.
Locals in the close-knit village have been left stunned by the man's tragic death.
The accident comes less than two days after another tragedy claimed another man's life less than fifteen miles away.
Luke Peeks, 26, was killed on Christmas day when his car left the road and ended up in a field close to nearby Stranorlar.
Garda Superintendent Vincent O'Brien has described Mr Frizzell's death as a "tragic accident."
The late Mr Frizzell is survived by his wife Sheila, son Mark, daughters Norma, Caroline, Ruth and Daphne, son-in-law Blane, daughter-in-law Denise, grandson Dylan, brother Robin and his wife Heather and the wider family circle.

Seeking Shelter in the Minefield of Unintended Consequences – The Traps of Limited Liability Law Firms
Document Type
Publication Title
Washington and Lee Law Review
Publication Date
Spring 1997
This article addresses the overlooked negative consequences of law firms transitioning from a traditional partnership to a limited liability partnership or company. Part I of this article introduces the topic by providing a brief history of the development of LLCs and LLPs and noting the lack of attention given to the detrimental consequences of such firm structures. Part II reviews the forces behind the limited liability movement and the emergence of limited liability law firms. Part III surveys the statutory approaches to limiting vicarious liability in LLCs and LLPs. Part IV then examines possible internal consequences of attorneys' practicing as limited liability firms. Using an economic analysis to evaluate possible outcomes of attorneys' limiting their vicarious liability through limited liability firms, Part V examines the external effects of the elimination of vicarious liability. After showing how the limited liability rules under LLP and LLC legislation adversely affect incentives to assure quality legal services, Part VI proposes an alternative approach to limited liability that eliminates strict vicarious liability for the acts and omissions of partners, while creating incentives for firms to monitor attorney conduct through reasonable risk management controls. This alternative approach limits attorneys' liability while protecting clients and other members of the public. Part VII concludes by summarizing the key points of the article and reasserting the benefits of the alternative approach to limited liability.

If you read my tweets you may have concluded Brent and I have been doing a lot of movie watching lately.
We've been a little lacking on the Christmas shopping. Honestly, I have been getting flustered with the traffic and all the crowds. Nothing like a little last minute, I suppose. I know some people thing gift cards can be a little impersonal, but I really like them. So, I've picked up a few of those quickly. Part of me thinks that unless something is homemade, handmade or personalized, then why not let the person pick their own gift, haha. Actually, I guess I go back and forth on that.
Anyways, back to the movie watching…
This past weekend we went and saw….
Black Swan was quite bizarre, but we both really liked it. It was definitely not the ordinary movie. I think Natalie Portman did an amazing job. I really love her. The movie kept us on the edge of our seats wondering what was going to happen next, which is usually a good thing. It was pretty intense and awkward at times.
The Fighter was also really good. I'm not a huge fan of fighting movies. This one had a lot go on that wasn't in the ring. Mark Wahlberg & Amy Adams, I liked together. Christian Bale played a good addict. If in question, this is probably a "guys" movie that a girl would probably not mind at all!
We've also watched a few movies at home over the past week or so….
I thought The Town was pretty good. It was kind of your typical bank robber movie. To me, it was a bit slow at times. Also, maybe a bit predictable. Overall, it was pretty good and I'd probably sit through it again…..and play on the computer.
All Good Things was another bizarre one. It made me question my love for Ryan Gosling
Noah. Not really, but he plays quite a different role in this. I had just been wondering where Kirsten Dust had been, and then this movie popped up OnDemand. I'm really not sure the story behind it being in the theaters or not being in the theaters. I do know that it was the most expensive movie OnDemand at $7.99. It was probably worth it versus us paying double that to see it in a theater. Throughout the movie, I was mostly thinking "that is just awful"…and "why is he doing that?"…. Oh, it was also based on a true story. The fact that guy isn't in jail blows my mind.
The Lodger & After Life are both a little lacking. However, they were both kind of played mind games. During both, you are just wondering what is the outcome going to be and who did what. So, for paying nothing to see them, they were fine to watch. After Life had a more Christina Ricci than I would prefer to see, and blood.
That's my opinion on these movies 🙂 Just wanted to share since many people on twitter were asking!
*Don't forget about my giveaways this week! You have the chance to get some adorable printables or win a $100 Visa gift card!

Paris Store Fronts
March 18, 2011 2 Comments
After scouring the floors of Euroshop, a team of FRCHers took a jaunt to Paris to gather further inspiration and soak in some of the worlds finest in retail, restaurant and hospitality design. While walking the streets between destinations, I found myself enamored with the charm of Parisian store facades, especially those with distinct use of signage and a powerful window presentation. These tried-and-true businesses establish their own unique brand identity while defining the character of their respective neighborhoods. Riffing off of the NYC Store Fronts post from a while back, here are some of the Parisian street level projections that caught my eye… and weren't too blurry!

Password Security
It should be self evident that a password-protected computer system cannot be considered safe if it's possible to compromise the password database. Windows does not have a spectacular track record in this regard, so it's worth your time to understand how passwords are formatted, stored, and protected. You should also be as familiar as possible with the tools used by bad guys to get access to your system passwords.
This topic also covers two new password-related features in Windows Server 2003:
Password Format and Storage
A user's clear-text password is never stored by Windows Server 2003 or any NT-based operating system. The password is converted into a one-way function or OWF, and it is this OWF that is stored, either in the SAM or in Active Directory. Another term for this OWF is a hash because it is obtained by running the user's password through a cryptographic process called a hashing algorithm. The system discards the clear-text password as soon as the hash is calculated.
Windows uses two different methods to hash a user's clear-text password:
Each Windows platform stores the password hash in a different location:
Password Vulnerabilities
Of the two password hashes, the legacy LM password hash is much more vulnerable. (For a detailed analysis, see www.insecure.org/sploits/l0phtcrack.lanman.problems.html. When you read this reference, pay particular attention to the ability of password crackers to derive the LM password hash by sniffing the contents of the LM Challenge-Response transactions. This makes it possible to get passwords without actually accessing the SAM or Active Directory.) Here is a quick rundown of the reasons:
NTLM passwords are much more secure than LM passwords for the following reasons:
Starting with NT4 SP4, Microsoft improved the session negotiation and authentication transaction processing in NTLM Challenge-Response. The new version, NTLMv2, comes in Windows 2000, 2002, XP, and the Dsclient update available for Windows 9x/ME. By default, Windows Server 2003 negotiates down to older authentication methods unless local or group policy has been set to block this action.
Password Storage Vulnerabilities
Password-cracking programs work most efficiently when they have a copy of the password list from the SAM or Active Directory that they can pound away at.
There are password dump programs that can steal password hashes for later processing. The most popular of these dump utilities is PWDUMP3E. Using PWDUMP3E, an intruder with administrative privileges can save the password hashes to a file, transport the file to another machine, then use a password cracker such as l0phtcrack to break the passwords.
I highly recommend that you obtain a copy of PWDUMP3E and l0phtcrack to check the vulnerability of the passwords on your system. You'll probably be astonished at how fast and easy it is to find most of the passwords on your system.
Password Policies
You can take steps to improve your users' passwords by setting a variety of group policies. This section contains the most commonly implemented password policies.
Eliminate Weak LanMan Passwords
You can set a policy that prevents storing LanMan passwords in Active Directory. This significantly cripples password-cracking programs such as l0phtcrack. It is theoretically possible to find a collision with an NTLM hash, but the process is much more complex than with LM password hashes.
The group policy that controls this setting is Network security: Do not store Lan Manager level hash values on next password change. The policy entry is set in the Default Domain Controllers policy. The item is located at Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options.
The legacy password will not be removed from Active Directory until the client changes the current password. With the default settings, this could take as many as 42 days. You can shorten the interval using the Maximum Password Age policy. This policy entry is set in the Default Domain policy. It is located at Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Account Policies | Password Policy.
Finally, you should eliminate all legacy authentication mechanisms except for NTLMv2. This ensures that the non-Kerberos authentication transactions use the most secure password handling. The group policy that controls this setting is Network Security: Lan Manager Authentication Level. The policy entry is set in the Default Domain Controllers policy. The item is located at Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options.
Before setting these policies, you must enable your downlevel clients to use NTLMv2 authentication. For Windows 9x and ME clients, distribute the DSCLIENT patch from the Windows Server 2003 CD. For NT4 clients, make sure you are running SP4 or later.
You must also set an Lmcompatibility Registry entry at the Windows 9x and ME clients. This Registry entry prevents the clients from sending LanMan password requests.
Account Lockout Policies
You don't want to give a bad guy the opportunity to bang away at a logon window trying all sorts of possible passwords until one just happens to work. An account lockout policy discourages this behavior by disabling the user account after a given number of invalid logon attempts.
Account lockouts cost money because they result in Help Desk calls. You can minimize the impact by setting an interval after which the lockout clears automatically. The group policies that affect account lockout settings are located in Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Account Policies | Account Lockout Policy. There are three parameters to set:
The Local Security Authority imposes the lockout policy on any service that accepts network connections. This includes CIFS/SMB, FTP, telnet, and HTTP. Repeated invalid logon attempts using any combination of these services will also trip the lockout.
The lockout policy has very few exceptions. The Administrator account cannot be locked out, but this exception does not apply to accounts with administrative privileges. Computer accounts cannot be locked out. Neither can domain trust accounts.
Reversible Passwords
MD5-CHAP and Digest authentication require that the verifying server know the client's clear-text password. The same is true when authenticating Macintosh clients using the Random Number Exchange UAM in the AppleTalk File Protocol (AFP) or remote access via AppleTalk Remote Access Protocol (ARAP).
Neither the NTLMv2 password nor the legacy LanMan password can be used for these transactions because the system stores one-way functions that cannot be used to derive the original password. Active Directory can accommodate authentication mechanisms requiring clear-text passwords by storing a reversibly-encrypted password. When an MD5-CHAP or Digest client attempts access, the system decrypts the password and uses the result to verify the user's identity.
The group policy that controls this setting is Store Password Using Reversible Encryption For All Users In The Domain. The policy entry is set in the Default Domain policy. It is located at Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Account Policies | Password Policy.
Computer Passwords
Now that we've seen some of the vulnerabilities of passwords and how to help overcome them (or at least limit our exposure), let's look at other places that Windows uses passwords.
Computers that are members of a domain have a password associated with their computer account. Active Directory stores the hash for this password in the computer's object, just as it does for user passwords. In addition to authentication and authorization, the computer password hash is used to encrypt data sent between the member computer and a domain controller. This is called a secure RPC connection. The data stream in the secure connection is encrypted using RC4 (a streaming encryption algorithm licensed from RSA Security) with the computer's password hash acting as the encryption key.
Diagnosing Computer Password Problems
Problems with the secure channel between a member computer and its domain controller can cause errors such as Unable to contact domain controller... when a user attempts to log on to the domain. If you think you are having problems with a computer's network authentication, test the secure channel with NLTEST as follows (the example uses a domain called company.com):
nltest /sc_query:company.com
DNS problems can also cause logon failures because the client cannot locate a domain controller to use as a logon server. If you get connection failures in NLTEST, you should look at network connectivity and name resolution.
The computer password used to set up the secure channel is changed every 30 days by default. Both the member computer and its logon server must be on the network for this transaction to occur. If a member computer (such as a laptop) is off the network at the time the password change is due, the client will change its password the next time it contacts the domain.
You can force a password change using NLTEST as follows:
nltest /sc_change_pwd:company.com
If a member server has lost its secure channel connection and cannot regain it, you can disjoin and rejoin the computer to the domain. The simplest and fastest way to do this is to log on at the member server using the local Administrator account then running the NETDOM utility from the Resource Kit as follows:
netdom remove server13 /domain:company.com
Then run the following:
netdom join server13 /domain:company.com
Restart the machine to let it complete the secure channel connection to the domain.
Credentials Cache
In modern Windows, a single domain password gives access to member servers throughout a forest thanks to transitive Kerberos trusts. Accessing servers outside the forest, such as standalone servers in a DMZ or servers in other domains, requires a separate authentication transaction with a separate password.
When you connect to a server outside your forest, you are prompted to enter a name and password for the target machine. When doing cross-domain authentications, you may need to specify a domain name in the format:
<domain_name>\<user_name> password
If you make this a persistent connection, the system reestablishes the session at the next logon and prompts once again for credentials.
Microsoft makes password management a little easier in Windows Server 2003 by including a new credentials database. This database is exposed via a Control Panel applet called Stored User Names and Passwords. You can store your username and password in the credentials cache and use them to automatically authenticate when reconnecting to the target server.
The credentials cache is stored in a file called Credentials in your profile under Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials\<user_sid>. The file is encrypted with your private key, which is itself encrypted with the Master crypto key. See Chapter 18, "Managing a Public Key Infrastructure," for more information about the PKI components of Windows Server 2003.
Names and passwords in the credentials cache are available at the command line for the NET USE command. For instance, let's say you create a drive mapping from the command line as follows: net use * \\server13\shared_folder. If you have an entry in the Credentials cache for Server13, the system will make the connection without the need to specify a username or password.
When using NET USE to make a connection, you can automatically save alternate credentials in the credentials cache via the /savecred switch. You'll be prompted for your username and password, which are then stored in the credentials cache if the logon is successful.
If you prefer to do all your credentials management from the command line, take a look at the new CMDKEY utility. This utility creates, displays, and deletes credentials in the credentials cache. For example, to add a new username and password to the cache, use cmdkey /add:<server_name> /user:<user_name> /pass:<password>. To see the contents of the credential cache, use cmdkey /list. Here is a sample listing:
C:\>cmdkey /list Currently stored credentials: Target: laptop Type: Domain Password User: laptop\administrator
Windows Server 2003 only stores CIFS/SMB credentials in the credentials cache. Upcoming versions will store Internet Explorer credentials, as well. This will enable the system to store usernames and passwords for web sites.
Storing Names and Passwords
To store a set of credentials, proceed as directed in Procedure 11.2.
Procedure 11.2 Storing User Names and Passwords
Password Resets
The ability to reset a password for another user is a highly privileged operation, as you might well imagine. If you can change a user's password, you can log on as that user and get access to the user's files and processes. The user's password also protects the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) keys stored for the user, which protect the user's encrypted files, encrypted email, and secure web access, along with any other application that relies on the system's PKI providers.
Utilities are readily available that make changing a user's local password a trivial exercise. For example, the for-fee version of ERD Commander 2002 (www.winternals.com) makes it possible to boot a machine using the four Setup disks then change the password of any user in the local SAM database, including the Administrator account. (You cannot use this utility to change the passwords for Active Directory accounts.) Using a tool like ERD Commander, you can change a user's local password then log on as that user and get access to the user's data.
Password Reset Handling for Local Accounts
Windows 2000 had a significant shortcoming regarding password resets. When you reset a user's local password in Windows 2000, the system rebuilds the master crypto key using the new password. This means that you can use ERD Commander to change a user's password then log on locally and open any files that were encrypted with the user's local account. (This deficiency does not apply to files encrypted while the user is logged on to the domain.)
Windows Server 2003 and XP correct this deficiency by leaving the master crypto key in its original state unless the user changes the password using the Change Password option from the Windows Security window. If you reset a user's local password using any other mechanism, you will not get access to the user's encrypted files or any other PKI-protected information. You'll be warned about this if you use the password reset feature in the Users and Computers applet in Control Panel.
If you reset a user's local password and, later on, the user discovers that the reset caused a loss of access to encrypted files or email, the user can change the password back using Ctrl+Alt+Del | Change Password. This regains access to encrypted files and email. You may need to relax local password history requirements to permit the user to reuse a password.
Password Reset Disk
One of the most common support calls is the "forgotten password" call. In a domain, this problem can be quickly corrected by resetting the user's domain password. If you support standalone desktops or servers, though, a forgotten password becomes a nasty problem. If you cannot get physical access to the machine, you must walk the user through a local logon using the Administrator account. This compromises the password. (For some reason, users who cannot remember their own password for longer than five minutes will remember the local Administrator password for years.)
A new feature in Windows Server 2003 and XP called the Password Reset Disk, or PRD, helps alleviate this problem. The PRD is a floppy created by the user that contains a special key created by the system for the user. If the user forgets his local password, he can use the PRD to authorize a local password reset. Procedure 11.3 demonstrates how it works.
Procedure 11.3 Creating a Password Reset Disk
When a user forgets the local password, use the steps in Procedure 11.4 to reset the password using the PRD.
Procedure 11.4 Using a PRD to Change a Password
Password Reset Disk Contents
As you can see from the preceding section, if a user's PRD falls into a third party's hands, that third party can use the PRD to get access to the local system. Here are a few highlights about the file on the PRD:
Anonymous Logon
When a process owned by a user accesses a resource on a remote Windows server, the underlying network application (CIFS/SMB or Winsock, for example) handles authentication transparently to the user.
If the process is owned by the Local System account or some other account with no network security context, it cannot authenticate on the remote server. Instead, it attempts a null session connection with the remote server.
Only a few server processes in Windows are designed to accept null session connections. For example, when a client scans for shares on a server using Network Neighborhood, the network file system makes a null session connection to the server to obtain the share list.
Every process needs an access token, so when the local server builds an access token for a null session connection, it attaches the well-known SID of the Anonymous Logon account. For this reason, the terms anonymous logon and null session are more or less synonymous in Windows.
In classic NT and Windows 2000, the Anonymous Logon account was automatically made a member of the Everyone group. This permitted a thread running in a null session context to access quite a bit of information about a server. This spawned a set of utilities designed to scan for NetBIOS services and other resources that accept null session connections. An example is the LanGuard network scanner, a free download from www.languard.com/languard/lanscan.htm. Figure shows an example of the kind of information collected by LanGuard when run against a classic NT4 BDC. Windows Server 2003 reveals much less information because of the additional restrictions put on null sessions.
Figure. NetBIOS service and port scan results using LanGuard.
In Windows Server 2003, the Anonymous Logon account is not a member of the Everyone group. This helps restrict what a NetBIOS scanner can detect. It's still possible to get a lot of information, though, simply by doing a raw port scan.
If null session scanners are a concern for you, you should enable group policies to block anonymous enumeration of shares and account names. These policies are located in Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Policies. Here are the policy names:
You may have a share that absolutely must be accessed anonymously, such as a printer share. If so, you can add the share to the Network Access: Shares that can be accessed anonymously group policy.

Hillary's New Deal
Hillary's New Deal: How a Clinton Presidency Could Transform America
This is the choice Americans face – between alternatives as starkly opposed to each other as in any election in our history, excepting the one in 1860, which led to the Civil War.
There on the convention stage was Sanders himself, railing against "the 40-year decline of our middle class" and "the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality that we currently experience." There was Sen. Elizabeth Warren, explaining how the system is rigged for CEOs and predators like Trump. And there, too, was Hillary Clinton, proclaiming that "Democrats are the party of working people," but the party needed to show it better; then saying, "Our economy isn't working the way it should because our democracy isn't working the way it should"; and touting a government program funded by targeted tax hikes on the rich, the "biggest investment in new, good-paying jobs since World War II," to rebuild America's infrastructure.
Clinton's program for battling economic inequality is another series of reinventions in the broad New Deal tradition. Her proposals include middle-class tax credits to be covered by raising taxes on the very wealthiest Americans and by closing tax loopholes; raising the federal minimum wage by 66 percent to $12 an hour, while supporting a $15 minimum in individual cities and states; protecting labor unions' collective-bargaining rights; and reducing child-care costs. To address the problems of climate change unimaginable to earlier generations, she has called for the installation of half a billion solar panels by the end of her first term, with the goal of providing clean renewable energy to every household in the country by 2027.

Equity markets are treading water after bouncing back yesterday, and now traders are faced with the prospect of another fall with no Greek resolution imminent. We are still in the eye of the storm and dealers are holding their breath as Athens is weeks away from going bust. Traders love jumping on the bandwagon, but on a day like today when the market isn't moving much in either direction, that is when their nerves will truly be tested.
Sentiment remains negative because of Greece, and today's sideways trading is just the pause before the next move lower. It is only a matter of time before investors' fears get the better of them, sparking the next round of selling – there is no point in being long when Greece's fate is still uncertain.
The pound surged on the back of the unemployment report, and the headline figure hasn't caught traders' attention. The rise in weekly earnings stole the show, putting the spring back in sterling's step.
We are expecting the Dow Jones to open 45 points higher, at 17,950, ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting tonight. Traders expect to hear the usual rhetoric from the Fed that interest rates might be hiked at any time, but there is no fear of that happening in the near term.
Janet Yellen doesn't want traders getting too accustomed to the record-low interest rates, but at the same time the US economy isn't ready for a rate hike, and this will override any possible warning of rates rising sooner than anticipated.

Over the course of the 21st Century, mankind has made tremendous leaps forward with technology. From mostly an industrial era, now to the digital era, it's hard to imagine life without infinitely connected tech sitting in our pockets.
If you're anything like Ray Bradbury, you're dreading the upcoming year, but if you're anything like me you feel like a school girl who just got asked to a dance for the first time.
2016 is set to be a year of innovation in several different areas, but I truly believe this year will bring more change than there has been since Apple launched the first iPhone in 2007.
Here are 6 technologies that will surely be monumentally closer to our lives in 2016.
1. Artificial Intelligence
Skeptics, thus far, have refused to label the current chess playing, game action, to-do list making software, Artificial Intelligence. But it soon will be impossible for them to deny the intelligent creations that are about to hit the market.
Scientists have been trying for years to make a viable learning neural networks and they've had wide ranges of success. They've even had success making emotionally reactive intelligence to respond to emotions that's riddled throughout a human's face.
Better be on the lookout, Siri & Cortana, while not the best right now, are about to change for the better and may end up knowing you better than you do.
2. Robots
2015 wasn't the best year for robotics. Still they struggled to perform the most medial tasks, and if they can perform it, it's extremely slow. But that's starting to change.
Companies like ABB out of Switzerland and Universal Robots out of Denmark are developing roots that can thread a needle and assemble circuits. Some newer robots that contain an open-source operating system called, ROS, are now able to learn from each other as thousands of developers are contributing to the software and perfecting the algorithms.
Soon robots will be assisting you at the grocery store and probably even ringing you up at the POS station.
3. Self-Driving Cars
Once only a thing of science fiction, self driving autonomous cars are currently being reviewed by the FTC to establish strong regulations, laws, and standards for them.
A lot of Silicon Valley's best electronics companies are testing self driving cars as your reading this. Apple, Google, Tesla, & Samsung are currently testing their own vehicles.
The best example of a self driving car is in the film "I, Robot." Check it out for a great idea of what this year will bring.
4. Virtual Reality
With products like Facebook's, Oculus Rift, virtual reality is not longer confounded to the holodeck on your favorite Star Trek episode but a real life experience.
While gamers are excited about getting to experience wars, aliens, and space in this new platform, Microsoft has taken it upon themselves to develop an educational VR version of Minecraft. Soon it seems, education will be done in VR. Just think about it, you'd get to "meet" Leonardo Da Vinci and see his inventions or visit an exiled Napoleon just after the French revolution.
5. Internet
HomeKit, Zuckerbergs not-so-secret automated home project, WiFi connected cars, everything is becoming connected. Apple partnered with Phillips to bring us the Hue light bulb system back in 2012, intelligent lights you can control with your iPhone, now it seems those are common place.
Everything is becoming smart now, and it's all about to be connected. Refrigerators, washing machines, door locks, TV's, lights, plugs, cameras, and even baby monitors are about to be connected to your home network and accessible through various apps on your devices.
How great would it be if your phone automatically turned on the heater, lights, and heated floors as soon as you turned off your phone alarm in the morning? It'd be awesome.
6. Space
Elon Musk showed the world that you didn't have to be NASA or the government to build a space vehicle. Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Charles Branson of Virgin, and of course Elon Musk have all spear headed space travel. Some have even promised consumer space travel for 2017. That means a whole lot of progress will be made this year.
Not to mention that, but plans to establish a base on mars are consistently being brought up by NASA scientists. Yes you read that correctly, a colony on mars.
It's going to be a fantastic year for tech, and we here at NewsBake can't wait too see what's coming down the pipe in 2016.

I am new to this whole business I am thinking of setting a Rickshaw business Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; I know first thing your going to say is that you only have half the season up there. Will that's True, but people do ride bikes all winter. That aside I would like to know how you charge a fair for any particular length you of ride?
Also how do you lease your pedicabs/rickshaws out?
Thank You
