Demand for current-gen Apple's iPhone is still high months after the release of the iPhone 4S, latest market research reveals.
A survey by ChangeWave Research found that more than half of those who plan to pick up a new smartphone in the next three months– 54 per cent to be exact – are eyeing Apple's kit.
By comparison, just 13 per cent said they want a Samsung phone. That figure, however, has nearly tripled since the survey was conducted the last time back in September 2011.
And although demand for the iPhone has slipped from 65 per cent since then, that's to be expected considering the iPhone 4S has already launched with another not expected anytime soon.
Increased consumer awareness of smartphones in general and the release of the Galaxy Nexus are said to be contributing factors to Samsung's growing popularity, with anticipation mounting for the inevitable announcement of the Galaxy S3.
However, we reckon Apple will be more thrilled than Sammy by the findings. According to ChangeWave, Apple has "never dominated smartphone planned buying to this extent more than two months after a major new release".
And when it comes to customer satisfaction, the iPhone still leads the pack by some distance with a staggering 75 per cent current owners stating they are 'very satisfied' with their handsets, as opposed to 47 per cent of Samsung users and a rather appalling 22 per cent of BlackBerry owners.

Fiona co-founded Orchestra Vitae with Michael in January 2012.
A first study violinist, Fiona attended the Royal College of Music Junior Department before reading music at undergraduate and Master's level at King's College, London. She is now a scholar at the RCM where she is involved in research for her PhD. Her thesis is focusing upon the role of the Royal Albert Hall in London's musical life. Since beginning her PhD Fiona has been asked to participate in four talks about the RAH's archive. The talks were held during the 2012 Proms Season and were a collaboration between the RCM, RAH and the BBC Proms. Fiona has subsequently been invited to speak about her work on the Royal Albert Hall for Archives for London in April 2013.
Fiona performs regularly on a freelance basis in London and the South East. She plays as part of several chamber ensembles and orchestras and is a member of The Gibbs Trio, which she plays in alongside her brothers, Mark and Iain. The Trio performs regularly in London and across the South East giving recitals and providing entertainment at weddings and corporate events. Recent recitals have taken place at All Hallows by the Tower, London and at the Under Ground Theatre in Eastbourne.
Fiona began orchestral managing when Vitae was created and has since become involved in other projects at RCM and with King's College, London.
Alongside her studies and other commitments Fiona teaches violin, piano and music theory privately and at a primary school in North West London.

|Rated R
|Reviewed by: Jim
|Release date: February 27, 2004
|Released by: Fox Searchlight Pictures
Colgate University turned out a comedic quintet in the mid 90's who named themselves Broken Lizard. After their antics in Super Troopers a couple of years ago in subverting the likes of Police Academy and C.H.I.P.S., the raucous stand-up performers are back with Broken Lizard's Club Dread.
This time it's part horror, part comedy show that probably would fare better with some editing on late night programming for Comedy Central. But, director Jay Chandrasekhar has enough slasher/sexual material to allow for an appreciative male, mostly college-age audience to enjoy it all. Club Dread uses a tropical resort for its setting with the director being less outrageous overall in following the Scream formula, with a machete-wielding serial killer in the booze-soaked, sun-kissed Pleasure Island. It doesn't quite run into the ribald Eurotrip territory which had its grads wandering onto the wrong nude beach.
Bill Paxton is the owner of the resort, a has-been pop star, named Coconut Pete, whose big hit was Pina Colada Burg. He doesn't like being compared to the leader of the Parrotheads Jimmy Buffet, as his song came years before the famous drinking song Margaritaville.
The 24 hours partying off the coat of Costa Rica with new islanders would appear to be a satisfying siesta until dead bodies begin to show up in unexpected places. The heavy dinging and a human fruity :Pac-Man game conjures up images of The Real Cancun and Scooby-Doo before lurid sights shake up things.
Legend has it that Machete Phil could be lurking in the jungle, a phantom on the prowl for hedonistic guests. Others in suspicion include the enigmatic, burly masseur with a pleasing, special touch (Kevin Heffernan, Jenny (Brittany Daniel of Joe Dirt), the athletic, well-toned fitness instructor whose mentor suddenly met his demise. Also, there is Putnam (Chandrasekhar) who is a bratty tennis coach with a goofy British sound in his voice, Dave (Paul Soter), Coconut Pete's nephew, induced by jealousy and on ecstasy, as well as the Fun Police's Sam (Erik Stolhanske) and Speedo-wearing driving master Juan, a dread-locked Steve Lemme.
Jordan Ladd of Cabin Fever gets involved with Steve, as these warped minds showcase standup routines with plenty of hit-and -miss jokes, often in nude form. A chase scene involving a cart is like Club Dread, going on for a while, but somewhat amusing in execution. It just seems stale for the most part even with a neat film allusion. The production is workmanlike and the overall tone tries to balance out the chronic gratuitous gags with the leisurely congeniality that exists on Pleasure Island. Thus, the irreverence that tries to live out the casual life through a slasher streak comes across as scattershot with the nasty sometimes sly lampooning more appealing to its participants than the viewer.

Hopeless millennial or a senior having moments?
Burt's Eye View
I'm a lot younger than I feel. Or than the calendar claims I am.
I chanced upon this happy news reading a newspaper article in which researchers rate millennials as hopeless when it comes to basic life skills.
I thought I had life skills down pretty well. The truth is, I don't have life skills; I have a wife.
If there was no Terry to tell me what to do, a search party probably would find me expired in my easy chair with an empty water bottle at my elbow and an unfinished game of solitaire blinking from the laptop perched on my knobby knees. There'd be holes in my T-shirt and flies circling my socks.
Why? Because I would have become so absorbed in the solitude of my computer screen, I'd have forgotten to eat.
It's the way we hip youngsters are.
The generation dubbed as "millennials" were born from the early 1980s to the early 2000s, which makes them roughly 15 to 35 years.
According to my birth certificate — back then, records were recorded with chisel and hammer — I belong to the gang known as "baby boomers." Boomers hobble in at age ranges from 53 to 73. I'm nowhere near tripping over 73, but I do confess to enjoying my senior discount at McDonald's.
But I can't be as old as the calendar claims. Listen to what researchers found out about millennials:
Young adults are great at conversing online but because they spent their formative years glued to screens, they are incapable of small talk, solving problems, thinking critically, or even cooking and changing a tire.
Except for the glued-to-a-screen childhood, that sounds like me. The main feature on our immobile phone was a rotary dial, and for quite a few years, we didn't own a single television set.
But swept up in a wave of youthful living, now I carry a smartphone everywhere. I break out in hives if forced to commit small talk, I'd rather text than call, and I'd avoid all conventions, weddings, business meetings and other senseless commotions except that I'm often foiled because of my lack of problem-solving skills to escape them.
I can and have changed tires, including once in the rain. A pretty girl was involved, which explains that. Young guys are suckered into lots of stupid acts when pretty girls are involved. Old grizzled guys just nod their heads and say, "Phone's over there. Call your boyfriend and whine to him about your stupid tire. I'm sittin' right here where it's warm and dry."
I used think I possessed pretty decent culinary skills but events of a few days ago corrected that delusion as well.
I'd fired up the grill and had a set of kebobs sizzling over the flames. Savory scents of roasting peppers, onions and marinated beef wafted through the window screens, tickled my sweet wife's nostrils and lulled her outside. Just not soon enough.
I'd placed the kebobs in a sort of a wire basket press and set the metal basket on the grill. The basket was unclipped so before I flipped it on the grill, I reached in to grab the metal clasp, and…
I'd misplaced my critical thinking.
Now I am back to sitting in front of a screen, talking to no one while I tap out this text with a blistered finger.
It's time to give up my senior discount at McDonald's. Obviously, I'm not that old. I'm just another hopeless millennial. My life skills say so.

What we like about this yacht
The Benetti 120ft (2006) is elegant in a word. We like that it is moderately priced for its quality, amenities and service level. It has a deep wood interior that is the signature mark of a classy yacht. A nice saloon bar for that after dinner drink or pre-dinner cocktail. Alternatively take your drinks al-fresco in the Jacuzzi and enjoy a great glass of Mediterranean wine under the stars

The Benetti 120ft (2006) ranges in rate from $152,000 to $170,000 for a 8 day/7 night charter depending upon time of year and length of charter.

They are also not inclusive of Country VAT and Repositioning Fees (if applicable). Your Yacht Charter Specialist will negotiates all the terms to provide the best possible value and pricing.
As yachts within this category travel outside of their home ports, repositioning fees are determined by where the yacht is at time of charter request. For example if a yacht with a home port of Athens has a Croatian itinerary around the dates of your requested charter and you have requested a Croatian itinerary, your Yacht Charter Specialist will negotiate with the yacht's management as to what will be your relocation percentage of the charter.

If a small craft license is not available, a crew member will be required to drive the Jet ski

Most people listen and read western propaganda, Kim is this bad and he's this mad. Oh yes, I forgot Kim was the mad president who invade countries across the world and kill thousands of woman, children and old people. Who are the mad murderers, a few months ago a TV presenter ask a senator on MSNBC if America will get rid of their nuclear arsenal, the answer was NO America must defend themselves.
Now the million dollar question is, why can't Kim be allowed to defend NK.
The question of title is ludicrous.

Tuesday's forecast is for increasing clouds and a chance of afternoon rain over parts of Long Island, the National Weather Service said.
Both Nassau and Suffolk counties could get rain, mainly after 2 p.m., with winds from the west-southwest, the service's Upton office said.

Some scattered showers could develop after sundown, he said.

Clouds continue to increase during the nighttime hours, with winds shifting to the west-northwest at 5 to 10 mph. Overnight lows are shy of 50 degrees.
Wednesday opens with clouds and possibly morning showers, Hoffman said. Sunshine pushes its way into the act during the late afternoon, he said.
Daily highs are in the mid to upper 60s, with winds from the north shifting to the south-southwest at 5 to 10 mph.

Switching hostsPosted September 4th, 2008 by Enrico in Podcast News
I started The Japanese Learner on a small web server running off of a home ISP connection. I figured I would start small and grow as needed. Little did I expect that I'd be seeing so many hundreds of hits from all over the world so quickly through the iTunes Music Store. That ISP connection is now completely taxed and I need to switch hosts post-haste.
That means I'll be taking the site down later tonight as I back up the files and database to move over to a new web host. I hope to be able to bring the site back up early next week but there may be unforseen technical difficulties in making a switch like this so quickly. This also means that the release of episode 3 will be delayed.
My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you all for listening to the show and I hope you continue to enjoy The Japanese Learner in the future!

Local MMA champion heads to Fresno for title rematch
—Paso Robles has its own California Amateur Mixed Martial Arts Organization champion in the featherweight division. His name is Chris Elisarraras, he's 24 years old and at 5'6", 135 pounds, he loves to fight. Next Saturday he'll travel to Fresno to get back in the ring with Samuel Fierro of Kingsburg, California for a rematch. He'll fight for the 135 title belt, last bout with Fierro was the 145 title belt that he won from Fierro when they first met in Visalia in September. It will be his last bout of 2016.
Elisarraras says he loves the pain and adrenalin that comes with the terrain.
"I love it, I love everything about it, I love getting hit, I love getting beaten, I like when somebody beats me…because it's the only time I feel I've pushed myself to the extent that I can go, when I'm dropped. It's funny, I went home the other day and I laid in bed and I told my girlfriend, I said 'Wow, today was the best day of practice I've had in a really long time,' and she asked why and I said 'somebody dropped me' (a guy hit me hard enough to drop me to the floor and that rarely ever happens) and she goes, 'You're really weird.' Because who says that?"
Elisarraras is a character of his own creation—he wears painted nails and a blond strip down the middle of his head. He's studied the life and martial arts of Bruce Lee, quotes Lee liberally, and has even has a Bruce Lee tattoo across his back.
You wonder how he went from being the small kid in the neighborhood, surely the one who got bullied, to becoming a budding championship fighter?
"I got into fighting in my younger days when I was running around being a hoodlum and whatnot. I grew up in a rougher part of town. I was always really small and got bullied a lot, so I got into fighting," he says. "Once I realized I was pretty good at it, I tried to start training, inconsistently, because it costs a lot of money, and it was always really hard, so I bounced around from gym to gym. I've been training on and off six to seven years, but I've only been taking it seriously the last three months. Three months ago is when I won my first championship. I realized I should take it more seriously. Now I'm training everyday."
Elisarraras is an amateur fighter for now, picking up matches through the California Amateur Mixed Martial Arts Organization (CAMO), which is solely authorized by the state to regulate amateur fighters who are matched in weight classes.
He sees a professional future in fighting, however. His head coach, Josh Johnson, does too. "I've been working with Chris on his technique and conditioning, on kickboxing, jujitsu and wrestling. Three months ago, he beat his last opponent with a week's notice. After this weekend's fight," Johnson said, "he'll have a record of four straight wins. There's a good chance he'll go pro."
Working out at The Pit in Atascadero the other night, Elisarraras looked disciplined and determined.
"It looks very prosperous," he said of his new career. "I've only been serious about [fighting] the last three months. Looking at myself on video from three months ago to now there's a world of difference in my technique and my strength as an athlete. And that's three months. I can't imagine what I'm going to be like in three years."
You gotta dream big, no matter what weight class you're in.
"I'm trying to be UFC champion of the world, in the 135 weight class," Elisarraras says. "If I can win the 135 championship, I'm going to go for the 145."
Elisarraras isn't just a scrapper. He studied criminal justice at Cuesta College and started his own production company, Lady Luck Productions, which hosts events and parties.
For now, there's no money in the amateur MMA fights he's winning, though Elisarraras says he makes a living with his business. It's a good thing there are sponsors stepping up to back the Paso Robles native.
"Sponsors help out a lot. It was costing me quite a bit of money when I was doing this on my own. When you add up the food, the travel, the fees, the licensing, the gym costs and the time you're taking to go do this, you're looking at $3,000-$4,000 a fight."
Elisarraras will fight Fierro again on Dec. 17th, 2016, 7 pm for the 135 title belt, at the Tower Theatre, 815 East Olive Ave in Fresno.
North County businesses interested in sponsoring Elisarraras can contact him via Facebook.

An older find from my folder!
Way back in February, Miss A wore Joyrich X Giza for their Touch come back and their special performance with Over U.
Min wears Joyrich x Giza chain skirt.
Jia wears the Joyrich X Giza dress and biker jacket in white.
I know you can't see Suzy's shirt on the picture, but it's there! She wears the t-shirt. I'm pretty sure her jacket had the Giza-print on the back but I can't find it!
Finally, Fei who wears the tank top.

Tara Hickman's ergonomic armrests for chairs, and someone's question about standing desks, reminded me of this patient from Grey's Anatomy. He's paralyzed from the neck down but still able to walk by connecting his brain activity to this nice robot suit.
The reason I thought of him (assuming it's not immediately clear to you all) is because his limbs are fully supported and he's standing. It got me thinking, instead of designing arm rests that attach to a chair, what if we designed arm rests that attach to a body? If the users are not restricted to the chair, they can work while sitting, standing, or walking around. Not only do they have support, but also they have the freedom of mobility. This simple ability to take breaks and stretch every once in awhile is crucial for preventing musculoskeletal disorders.
Instead of changing how we sit at work, let's change how we work.
As Professor Intriligator explained in the HF GIM, Human Factors is not just about the physical components of a design but also the cognitive and emotional ones. So instead of studying how a person sits at a desk, let's find out why they do that. What are they thinking and how are they feeling? It's step #1 of design thinking: empathy. If people don't like sitting for long periods of time, instead of making sitting more comfortable, let's just eliminate sitting. It's that simple. Think about it this way: if I told you that I wanted a pet but that I was allergic to cats, would you get me a cat and some allergy meds or would you get me a dog?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- High-profile Wisconsinites were center stage at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. last week, with the vice presidential nominee, the chair of the party and one of the GOP's most prominent governors all hailing from the state. On Thursday in Charlotte, Democrats will hear from their own well-known Wisconsinite: Rep. Tammy Baldwin, currently a nominee for Senate, who will try to counter the messages coming from the Republicans in her state.
"Last week in Tampa, at the Republican National Convention, the nation got to see a bunch of folks from Wisconsin -- [Gov.] Scott Walker, [Republican National Committee Chair] Reince Priebus and obviously [Rep.] Paul Ryan," Baldwin said in an interview with The Huffington Post. "My job tomorrow is to introduce folks to the Wisconsin I know, which is one that embraces heartland values, has an incredible work ethic and believes fundamentally in fairness. There ought to be only one set of rules of the road, that too often the big and powerful interests are attempting to write their own rules."
Baldwin said she worried that Americans have misconceptions about Wisconsin after hearing so much from Walker and Ryan.
"You're going to get a very different impression of the Wisconsin that is actually a state with a proud progressive tradition," Baldwin said, previewing her speech. "I know that much of America really does embrace the heartland values of Wisconsin itself."
Baldwin is running against former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson for Wisconsin's open U.S. Senate seat. She will have a primetime speaking spot on Thursday, the same night President Barack Obama will address the convention. Baldwin also spoke at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colo.
The congresswoman said that while she considers Ryan, who was elected the same year she was, a friend, she was "disappointed with some of the misleading and inaccurate things he said in his speech."
In particular, she mentioned the fact that he seemed to blame Obama for the closure of a General Motors plant in Janesville, Wis., that in fact failed while President George W. Bush was still in office.
"We each represent half of Rock County, Wis. He represents the city of Janesville that has the General Motors plant that closed down," said Baldwin. "To suggest in his speech that it was our president's fault -- or under our president's watch -- is, I think, playing on the real heartbreak our constituents faced when that plant closed."

This past week, Mark Lanegan released Imitations, his album of old-timey covers. The video for his version of John Cale's "I'm Not The Loving Kind" follows a haunted, leathery cowboy — a figure even more grizzled than Lanegan himself, if you can even conceive of this — as he trudges through the neon absurdities of Las Vegas. It's a striking video; check it out below.
Imitations is out 9/17 on Vagrant.

How does one describe a Flaming Lips show?
It is weird and wonderful, exciting and magical....... like going to the circus when you were little. You kind of know what to expect, but it is slightly different every time.
My first Lips show was in NYC in the late 90's, and I have seen them many times since. That makes me feel old and young at the same time.
I am a very different person then I was all those years ago, but the great thing about live music is that when you are in a crowd full of people and really listening to the words, it doesn't really matter. I was grabbing confetti out of the sky just like the young girl next to me........and I was happy!

In response to the high-profile case of a Stanford student sentenced to six months in jail after his rape conviction, state Democratic lawmakers are introducing two competing bills to mandate prison sentences in such cases.
"We need to send the message that sexually assaulting vulnerable victims who are intoxicated or unconscious is a serious crime," said Assemblyman Bill Dodd (D-Napa). "Letting a rapist off with probation and little jail time re-victimizes the victim, dissuades other victims from coming forward and sends the message that sexual assault is no big deal."
Dodd is one of a trio of Northern California legislators behind one bill along with Sen. Jerry Hill (D-San Mateo) and Assemblyman Evan Low (D-Campbell). The bill would prohibit probation or suspended sentences in cases where the victim was unconscious or too intoxicated to give consent.
Democrats in the Legislature continued their effort Wednesday to force a November ballot showdown over how lawmakers pass bills and how the public sees their proceedings.
The fight centers on an effort requiring all legislation to be in print for at least 72 hours before a final vote. Several years of failure on similar proposals in Sacramento sparked an effort by an influential Republican donor to launch a Nov. 8 ballot initiative campaign.
Now, even though lawmakers are trying to rush in with a solution themselves, the GOP heavyweights aren't backing down.
Dozens of faith-based colleges in California are objecting to legislation they say would infringe on religious freedom by allowing lawsuits from gay and transgender students who feel discriminated against because their sexual orientation conflicts with church tenets.
The dispute is a new slant on a debate that is roiling other parts of the country where states have sought to adopt so-called "religious freedom" laws, which allow businesses to decline service to same-sex couples if such service would violate their religious beliefs, or restrict the use of restrooms by transgender residents to facilities designated for the gender of their birth.
California election officials continued to count ballots on Tuesday, with the latest tally showing a slight narrowing in the Democratic presidential race and most of the uncounted votes cast as provisional ballots.
In all, more than 7.8 million ballots have been counted from the statewide primary that's now two weeks in the rear-view mirror. A report published late Tuesday by Secretary of State Alex Padilla showed more than 784,000 ballots still had to be reviewed.
Tuesday's vote count showed a slight narrowing of the lead for Hillary Clinton over Sen. Bernie Sanders. One week ago, Clinton was besting Sanders by 476,271 votes. As of Tuesday afternoon, that lead had shrunk by more than 29,000 votes to 446,987 votes.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will have to look at whether its suicide prevention programs are meeting female veterans' needs under a California-led bill that passed the House on Tuesday afternoon.
The House OKd the Female Veteran Suicide Prevention Act sponsored by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) by a voice vote. The measure had already passed the Senate and now heads to President Obama.
The VA already has to review its suicide prevention and mental health programs annually under the Clay Hunt SAV Act. The Female Veteran Suicide Prevention Act requires the VA to produce separate data and statistics on female veterans.
San Bernardino County and the city of Ontario could reclaim control of Ontario International Airport under legislation that passed the House by a voice vote Tuesday afternoon.
The legislation, H.R. 4369, allows some of the $2-per-passenger facility charge collected at the Ontario airport to be used at Los Angeles International Airport.
A stipulation of Los Angeles World Airports' agreement to transfer Ontario International Airport to San Bernardino County and the city of Ontario last August was that the Ontario airport would reimburse LAX for millions in fees used to pay for new terminals in the 1990s. When both airports were owned by Los Angeles World Airports, the fees could be used that way.
The intense debate within California's Democratic Party over Uber and Lyft was laid bare Tuesday morning when a bill that would ease regulations for ride-hailing companies from Assemblyman Evan Low (D-Campbell) advanced out a state Senate committee over the intense objection from committee Chairman Sen. Ben Hueso (D-San Diego).
Low's bill would exempt ride-hailing drivers from having to purchase commercial license plates, a savings of up to $80 a year per driver depending on car size. He argued that Uber drivers pick up customers in the same car that they pick up their kids from school and shouldn't have to pay the fee.
But Hueso saw the bill as just another attempt in the Legislature at undermining the taxi industry to pump up Uber and Lyft.
The sister of Sharon Tate, the actress murdered by followers of Charles Manson during a brutal two-day rampage across Los Angeles in 1969, left Gov. Jerry Brown with copies of an online petition Monday signed by some 139,000 people.
The petition's message is simple: Brown should deny parole to a former member of the Manson cult, Leslie Van Houten.

The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star made her red carpet debut with musician Danny Fujikawa at her mother Goldie Hawn's Snatched movie premiere in Los Angeles on Wednesday (10May17), and couldn't help but gush about her new love on the red carpet.
"He's the best!" she swooned to U.S. news show Extra, before referring to him as "my cute man".
When asked what she likes best about the new relationship so far, Kate replied, "How long do you have? He's a good man."
It seems her family members also like Danny - Kate's mum Goldie and her long-time partner Kurt Russell gave the former Chief guitarist a thumbs up.
"He's a nice guy, Danny. Yeah, I like him," Kurt told Entertainment Tonight. "I always approve. Kate brings good guys."
And Goldie added, "He's a great guy... He's very special actually."
Kate and Danny made their red carpet debut just two months after they were first romantically linked.
Kate, who appears to have something of a penchant for dating rockers, was previously married to Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson, who is the father of her 13-year-old son Ryder. They were together for seven years until their divorce in 2007. The 38-year-old blonde beauty was also engaged to Muse star Matt Bellamy before they split in 2014. She shares five-year-old son Bingham with Matt.
Kate was more recently romantically linked to DJ Diplo and 24-year-old pop star Nick Jonas.

The smartphone pioneer BlackBerry can stop creating its Classic model, the corporate same on Tuesday, some eighteen months when launching the device it had hoped would lure users preferring a physical, instead of touchscreen, keyboard.
Blackberry's move is that the latest shift faraway from its money-losing phone business and toward its package. Shares within the Canadian technology company fell over third when associate degree govt confirmed the move in a very company diary post.
"The news is another negative for this phone business," same Morningstar analyst Brian Colello. "It appears additional and additional doubtless that the corporate goes down the trail of exiting handsets."
Colello same BlackBerry desires a success mid-range, Android-based device. while not that, he said, the phase can doubtless be finish off. He same he wouldn't expect it to be oversubscribed to a different company.
The Classic was launched early last year, with a physical keyboard within the vein of its daring precursor and battery-powered by the company's own overhauled BlackBerry ten software systems, that have didn't regain market share ceded to Apple's iPhone et al.
BlackBerry has since launched a phone battery-powered by Alphabet's dominant robot package and plans many additional. BlackBerry chief govt John bird genus last month expressed confidence the company's trimmed-down phone business will flip a profit by a voluntary Gregorian calendar month point.
BlackBerry has turned from its once-dominant smartphones to the package that corporations and governments ought to manage their devices. Some analysts and investors have steered BlackBerry jettison handsets entirely.
Separately, an interior United States Senate note sent by IT employees and obtained by Reuters on Tuesday same BlackBerry had told major America carriers Verizon and AT&T that each one BlackBerry devices dewberry bush ten had been out of print.
Asked specifically regarding the note, a interpreter for BlackBerry same its device strategy relies on a cross-platform model and it'll still support BlackBerry ten.

Old Spice's Hairy Director of Marketing Quits
Wolfdog had held post for just a week
Editor's Pick
Well, that was fast. The revolving door of the upper levels of the marketing hierarchy have claimed another victim: Old Spice's director of marketing, Wolfdog. The hairy CMO, who was hired to launch Old Spice's newest collection of guy scents, the "Wild Collection," had held the job for just over a week. Reasons for his departure are unclear, but his parting message provides some clues.
Below, a short reminder of all he accomplished.
He burst onto the scenes with a memorable introduction that had him eating up other, less-accomplished marketers at the company, schooled millions on the basics of business via a series of "how to succeed" videos. He even held interviews using cutting edge technology, (Google Hangouts) and helped out "celebrities" like The Bachelor's Sean Lowe. While doing all this, he also released an album of tunes that would inspire you to succeed at business, one of his many philanthropic efforts that also included posting a number for people to call if they wished to look like they were busy at the office. Wieden & Kennedy Portland tells Creativity that his campaign generated more than 4 million video views in total, over 30,000 new social fans, followers and subscribers -- and over seven years of video content was viewed. That last number just happens to be the average lifespan of a wild wolf.
We'll miss you, Wolfdog -- but we wonder who'll be next to lead Old Spice marketing. As the outgoing marketing executive says, it could be any species, including, maybe, a hawk.

Difference between Laticrete Multipurpose & Laticrete Spectraset?
The only difference I see based on the bags is that Spectraset is a "premium' modified mortar....and it cost $28 a bag vs. $12.
I'm using this on floor over hardibacker, 12x12 porcelain. I've seen the comment that Spectraset works well on porcelain....why so?
Because of the additives added to the mortar that give it better adhesion qualities.
Looking at the data sheets, there isn't much difference in their uses. The Spectraset has a stronger shear strength on porcelain. 340-370 psi to 250-300psi for the Multipurpose.
The Latacrete ad to the right has all that info. :)
and the shear strength would mean.....
Shear strengh would be in plane movement in relation to the substrate. I would use the higher modified with the porcelin, which is known to have problematic bonding issues. :tup1:

The list of health benefits from taking Omega 3 on a daily basis is endless. The fatty acids in Omega 3 are anti-inflammatory and as some form of inflammation is believed to lie at the root of all diseases, increasing our consumption of these fatty acids can help improve health in general.

Didn't accept my pdf. Useless.
Didn't accept my pdf. Useless.
This app has worked well for me in the past but now it closes whenever I click on New Fax.
I'd used iFax a few times in the past, but the UI was a little clunky. It worked, but wasn't the most user-friendly experience. Just installed the newest version onto my laptop to send a fax, and was pleased to see a new UI. The experience is much smoother, more streamlined. Frankly, I just wish more places would ditch fax technology and accept email copies of documents. Until that happens, this app is a winner for bridging the gap.
Nicely done app. Simple and easy to use. Should be 5 starts but giving it for because since v3.0 it seems like there's an update at least once per week. No details on what the udpates do but it's annoying and I suspect unnecessary.
Ditch the fax maxhine and cancel your landline, this app is so easy to use! Fill in the cover sheet, attach your doc's of PDF's and send, its just that easy. With several options for fees, there is a price point for everyone. Get your own fax number to receive faxes. Exceptional app!
I downloaded the app, then tried to buy a credit pack; selected the $2.99 pack. The little spinning wheel in the center of the screen spins for a while, the stops. No credits purchased. Useless program if you can't buy credits to pay for a faxed page.
I thought version updates were to improve a product. Previous versions allowed one to use previous faxes to a specific recipient as a template, changing the attachments as needed. Say goodbye to all that! Now you have to start all over.
Even tough the apps introduction says that Turkey is included, it actually is just included in order to sent faxes to. Within the circumstance of wanting to purchase a fix fax number in order to be able to get faxes with a Turkish code number, this is not facilitated. Yet the system (even tough a bit costly in comparaison with normal fax) works great and flawlessly. All in all the app and its use are easy and comprehensible and it is indeed a good alternative to a real fax-machine especially by doing economy of space, ink and paper if one can afford it instead. LOVE & PEACE
I don't have a lot of other fax apps to compare this to. Its been a decade since I did. I have used this app a few times in muntiple cities without any problems. I like that it has templates for coversheets and that it keeps a log of all the past faxes.
This new version is totally borked! I can't copy and revise text I previously sent. It limits my characters on the cover page and either crashes or gives me errors. It used to work! Now it doesn't. This is awful.
The good: Ifax works pretty well and is fairly intuitive. The pricing structure is not bad for ala carte fax sending. Word of warning: Buy your credits before you send a fax, or your cover page will be sent blank. Somehow the cover page loses it's text during the credit purchase process. When you have sufficient credits, the entire fax sends fine. The bad: your sent faxes don't sync between all your devices. The iffy: Their customer service is clearly not native english speakers, which leads to form letter answers and miscommunication when they go off-script. However, they do respond within 24 hours and I did get a credit for the blank cover pages, it just took a few more interactions than desired. Tip: if you dont need a cover page, don't send one, and you'll save the credits/money. I'll continue to use this app if they push out an update to correct this cover page bug.
Would like to integrate Adobe acrobat reader DC with antidote correction software and Ifax in a one touch application. Using this software from the track pad from my macbook pro would like to fax more easy. Sound complicated? Sending directly from my favorite Safari software could be great.
As with other posts for this version, the app no longer functions. I get the "invalid parameter" message when I push Send. Clicking nearly everywhere else causes the app to quit. When I re-open the app the fax I was trying to send shows up as a draft but clicking on it causes the app to quit. iFax has always been extremely easy to use - awaiting the bug fix.
I have used this application previously and have not had too many issues. Now it won't send my 2 page fax. I get "invalid parameter" error messages and it is crashing when I click on the country of origin for the fax number and on various other activities. I've spent almost an hour trying to get one 2 page fax sent unsuccessfully. I gave it two stars because it used to work. I have lots of unused credits for an app that doesn't work. Time to find another application for faxing.
I bought the app and bought credits because I wanted an app that could send, but not receive faxes. I tried to use it twice and it did not work for different reasons. In 2016 I tried to send a fax and the app could not find the ample credits I bought, so I bought additional credits to get the fax sent. I complained and they found the credits and added them to the account, but did not refund the more expensive credits I was forced to buy. Recently I needed to send a more lengthy fax. This was during the period when there was a new update every day. When I tried to open the app, the app failed to open. I contacted customer service. There were a number of time wasting questions and finally they, on June 30, asked for my log in ID, which I gave them, and since them they have gone silent. There are other similar apps available in the app store that work perfectly first time. So, I have an app that does not work and credits that I cant not use or even access
I had successfully sent faxes to a particular fax number, 1 page, 7 pages, etc., with iFax. When I tried to sent an 11 page fax to the same number, I received an "Invalid Fax number" error message. I tried to resend, but continued to get the same error message. Yet, if I tried to send 1 page to the same number, it worked. I send an email to their customer support, but received no help except a message back saying they had received my email. In the end, I had to go the local UPS Store and send the fax because it was time sensitive. It cost me $10. I want my money back for the app and the credits I purchased within the app. If you purchase this app, know that it'll only work intermittently and respond with nonsensical error messages when it does not work. Also, the customer support isn't going to help you, at least not in a timely manner if at all.
Don't you just hate it when you need support, put in a ticket, wait the half day or so it takes to get an answer only to find out that they did not read your request and tell you via some canned response to do something that you told them in your email that you've already tried? Now you have to wait again because they didn't read in the first place! Well, here is another company that does that.
The new update just will NOT open the application!
I cancelled my yearly iFax service this year and asked for a refund. My renewal was through PayPal, but the app was downloaded through the App Store. The company replied and laid out the steps for ME to issue THEM a refund through MY PayPal. When I explained this to them, they stated that they cannot control PayPal and cannot help me. I use PayPal for my business as well, and this is not how any of this works. This app is run by scammers- DO NOT USE
Stated at the beginning that you could send a one time fax for free. Went through the process and at the end… GOTCHA… asked for payment. Deceptive, would not recommend

National Institutes of Health (NIH), in conjunction with the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), Now Use Our Integral Hypnotherapy™ Methods for their Scientific Research of Mind/Body Healing
May 2018 News update: The 4-year study funded by the NIH and conducted at University of New Mexico Hospital utilizing our techniques is now complete. It was a great success for hypnotherapy. This study's purpose was to determine if hypnotherapy is, or is not, inferior to drug therapy in the treatment of Overactive Bladder/Urinary Urgency. Part of what makes this such a significant research study is that it involved 162 patients – a significant sample of the population. Also unique to this study is that it tested hypnotherapy against the current standard treatment (drug therapy.) 81 patients were randomized into the hypnotherapy group and 81 randomized into the drug therapy group.
We are receiving preliminary reports from the physician investigators which show that the patients receiving hypnotherapy had equivalent results to drug therapy, and in those patients who were moderately to highly responsive to hypnosis, the one-year follow-up showed superior results to drug therapy. While hypnotherapy may not be appropriate for everyone, this scientifically rigorous study is breaking new ground in the mainstream acceptance of hypnotherapy as an adjunctive modality. When the final analytics and peer review are completed, we will update this page again.
33 million Americans, or one-tenth of the population, suffer from Overactive Bladder/Urinary Urgency. We're very happy to be contributing to helping these people live better lives.
Below is a post from 2013 when we began this journey.
Historic Milestone
This is a historic time for the Hypnotherapy Academy. In August of 2013, we received word that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in conjunction with the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) is funding a three-year study of the Hypnotherapy Academy's Integral Hypnotherapy™ methodology.
The NIH, which is one of the world's foremost medical research centers, is part of the US Department of Health and Human Services and is our nation's medical research agency.
Hypnotherapy Academy associate instructor, Robert Sapien, MD, said, "We who received our training at the Hypnotherapy Academy, have all witnessed the high rate of success of our clients. As a medical researcher, this inspired me to enlist Tim (Tim Simmerman-Sierra, Academy director), in c0-designing the hypnotherapy protocols for scientific study. This is an unprecedented opportunity to put forth a robust scientific study that quantitates our client's success. It is also important to mention that less than 10 percent of applications to the NIH-NCCIH are successful in getting funded. I am honored to be representing you — the Academy alumni — in spearheading this effort."
On behalf of all Academy graduates, we appreciate the importance of Dr. Sapien's research, and how this directly adds to the prestige of Academy alumni. (Many Thanks to Dr. Sapien!)
The approval for this study is also an acknowledgement of twenty plus years' hard work and devotion on the part of Academy lead instructor, Tim Simmerman Sierra, former two-term president of the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners, developer of the Integral Hypnotherapy™ method, co-director of International Board of Hypnotherapy, and author of Medical Hypnotherapy, volume 1. During this time he has evolved the techniques, improved the quality of care and raised the industry requirements for certification in hypnotherapy. As a former nationally registered paramedic, he teaches from a unique perspective, bridging the healing power of hypnotherapy with conventional medicine.
This NIH hypnosis study and others like it, continue to verify the effectiveness of Integral Hypnotherapy™ as an important adjunct to conventional medicine.
Below you will find the information about the clinical trial that paved the way for the NIH funding.
Clinical Trial Shows "Superior" Effectiveness
with Academy Methods: The Positive Results from this Clinical Trial Led to the NIH-Funded Study
Overactive Bladder Syndrome
"Hypnotherapy for Treatment of Overactive Bladder: Randomized Controlled Trial Pilot Study"
Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, 2011 Nov;17 (6):308-13. Komesu, YM, Sapien, RE, Rogers, RG, Ketai, LH
A recent clinical trial at the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque shows the effectiveness of the Academy's hypnotherapy methods in comparison to behavioral therapy alone. The population studied was women who suffer with overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome. OAB syndrome, affecting 17% of all women in the United States, is experienced as urinary urgency, increased frequency, nocturia (need to urinate often at night), and sometimes with incontinence. Along with the physical symptoms, women with OAB also experience stress, embarrassment and decreased self-esteem.
Academy associate hypnotherapy instructor, medical researcher and Chief of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Dr. Robert Sapien, designed the study using the methodology developed by Tim Simmerman Sierra, codirector of the Hypnotherapy Academy. Sapien said the objective of the study "was to gather data to compare hypnotherapy to an already proven standard treatment, in this case, behavioral therapy."
Conclusion: both groups showed improvement with treatment; however, the hypnotherapy group showed significantly higher scores in the effective relief of symptoms and improvement in quality of life, than the behavior therapy group.
The hypnotherapy group had an overall improvement of 67% (in only three sessions), while the behavioral therapy group only 42% improvement.
The research team (Yuko M. Komesu, MD; Robert E. Sapien, MD; Rebecca G. Rogers, MD; and Loren H. Ketai, MD) concluded: "This pilot study is notable in that the hypnotherapy group had superior global improvement in their OAB symptoms compared with behavioral therapy alone."
Dr. Sapien added as a side note, that the group of women in the study who did not receive hypnotherapy (the control group) indicated that they were disappointed that they did not receive hypnotherapy. After the study was completed, they were given the option of returning to have the hypnotherapy protocol. All of the women chose to return for the added benefit of hypnotherapy.
With studies like this paving the way, obtaining your training at the Hypnotherapy Academy of America could not be more timely.

The Camera doesn't Lie...
Between moving stuff around, finding bits and pieces, holding the backdrops Dan carries around with him on photoshoots, and trying not to fall over the lighting supports or trip over the power cables I managed to take a few illustrative photos ~
Three shots of the same thing really: Dan the cameraman in action under the strong lighting he brings to the sessions; Phil acting as 'Atlas' holding up the world, or at least the backdrops {which are interesting in themselves, one being painted and the other photoshopped}; and the third showing the scene captured in that one shot. Although the two backdrops are alarmingly different where they meet, judicious editing and photoshopping of the final pictures will render that invisible in the end product I'm told.
The photoshopped background is downloaded from the web and then blurred slightly to create the illusion of depth in the distance. Where the board meets the table edge can be blurred away too to give an even greater feel of the scene stretching away into the 'distance'. In some shots the background is used upside down to provide a gentle blue backdrop too. These are my Mutineer Miniatures resin buildings with the two scratchbuilt shrines I made. The trees and vegetation are a mixture of The Last Valley, plastic palms of various sizes from Tiger Miniatures, and the ubiquitous aquarium plants from a local Garden Centre or Pet Store! It really does look much better in this photo than I thought it would before we started!
Several scenes are set up at the same time, to make the photographer's job easier, as this is not a battle report article but a guide to how we set about the project, illustrated by photographs of the finished collection. {Finished? What am I saying?} So in the picture we have: a cavalry charge; aerial combat above the table; a Bhurpa ambush; and an encounter with two Yetis! The 'mountain range' in the back right was a £4.00 buy at the Garden Centre, reduced because it was cracked. Phil washed it with Sepia ink to tone down the in your face orange colour and dry brushed it with creamy white so that it almost matches the buildings' colour scheme.
So many photographs are taken in a session, far more that you might imagine, and all posed specially for the effect Dan wants to create to accompany a piece. The main camera has two different lenses; for table shots and for close ups; but I was also surprised to see Dan using his mobile phone to take even closes shots of figure groups than the one in the picture above. By the time the session was deemed to be over Dan had taken 78 photos as I said at the start and I was really tired! Anyway, I hope this is of general interest to some of my visitors at any rate. As I said, keep an eye out for the finished piece and the pictures from yesterday in the New Year. Now, back to painting Dragoon Guards for the Wars of the French Revolution project...

It does look great! I think I need a big light like that!ReplyDelete
Thanks Christopher! It should be said the lights do show up the figures;warts and all in the case of mine!Delete
Brilliant! Interesting post David. An insight to what goes on behind the scenes for making an article for WI. Look forward to seeing the article in print.ReplyDeleteReplies
Glad you enjoyed it Mark!Delete
There I was gone ;-)ReplyDelete
And back again. Nice summary of the days proceedings, the back drops certainly set the scene, looks like we will be needing some for new GHQ in due course.ReplyDeleteReplies
Glad you are restored to my time frame! Back drops on the to do list! As I type GHQ2 is being painted white!Delete
Interesting, shows just how much time and effort goes into magazine articles.ReplyDeleteReplies
Glad you found it interesting Matt, and took the time to say so too! I've done many pieces for WI down the years and I think most readers don't appreciate how much time and effort it takes: time which you could spend painting, building or playing even! Cheers!Delete

They're all over the country. I typed in "Governor's School" and found respectable sounding math/technical schools. But I also saw personal horror stories from kids on their home pages. One was of the NC Governor's School.
Apparently they're run by the state board of ed. Be very wary. It wouldn't hurt to talk to alumni. Maybe you could ask for an alumni list?
I was there.
I attended Arkansas Governors' School in 1992 when this was written (while X42 was running for Prez the first time). I don't have time to respond to all this right now, but I will say the truth is somewhere in the middle. The whole thing was slanted hard to the left, but it wasn't really brainwashing. Overall, I'd say it was a positive experience, but there were also obvious problems with the way it was structured.
If anyone has any particular questions you want a first-hand account on, fire away.
Here's the Virginia site. It's run by the Virginia Department of Education.
On one of my previous posts a parent mentions that the seed money (three years) for these programs came from the Carnegie Foundation. This makes sense because the testimonials here ranging from 1983-1996 describe a similar format ("no absolutes," "we are the elite," "no one will understand this," PC curriculum). It seems that the Department of Ed takes over the operation after the seed money runs out.
So how are these schools funded today? Do they have a line item in the education budget? When were they first authorized? Was legislation put forward in various states in the same year? I'd like to know.

Teaching, working with the sound system, prayer and study and helping provide direction and general oversight and administration of Grace Covenant Church
Cathy, my first and only true love, and I have enjoyed 30 years of marriage. She keeps me grounded and motivated to be always improving in all aspects of my life.
We have 3 terrific sons, Jeremy, Aaron and Jared. Jeremy, our oldest, is married to Stephanie and they take care of our 2 oldest grandchildren, Hannah and Miranda. Aaron, our middle son, is married to Cori Wilson of Sarasota, giving us our second daughter, and they also reside here in Sarasota. Jared is our youngest son and still lives at home.
Favorite Scripture:
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:2 & 3.
Education: Associates Degree in Business Management; American International University.
How I got involved at Grace:
I had the privilege of being part of the beginning of Grace Covenant Church with my wife and some good friends in 1999.
Some Favorite Things:
Spending time with my wife. We've recently "discovered" the west in our last two vacations and plan on traveling there again on future vacations. The Grace Covenant family has been an important and integral part of our life. I enjoy boating & fishing, and my wife is my favorite fishing partner, and I also enjoy woodworking. I still have some doors and drawers to build for that last project and look forward to the new projects to come.
My hope and vision for Grace:
It's been said that "you can't take anything with you when you leave this world". At Grace Covenant we build relationships for eternity because we know that our relationships with other believers will be eternal, just as our relationship is, with our Lord Jesus Christ. As individuals and families become involved with Grace Covenant my desire is that their lives will become richer because of the sound biblical teaching, combined with the support and family spirit that surrounds Grace.
