Professional Sports Authenticator and PSA/DNA Authentication Services have created a free online, hobby video series, "The PSA10 Webcast: Tips, Lists and Guides." Each 10-minute program in the series provides interesting and useful information about sports collectibles and is posted on YouTube as well as on the PSA website, http://www.psacard.com. The YouTube URL for the PSA and PSA/DNA videos is https://www.youtube.com/user/psasports.
"These brief videos are designed to improve the collector experience, provide a little fun and to give hobbyists the tools needed to build a better collection. We hope the series will prove to be valuable to the collecting community and help entice new collectors as well," said PSA President Joe Orlando.
The most recent program is titled "Collecting MLB Bats, From Babe Ruth To Derek Jeter, And How Experts Use Photos," and is narrated by Orlando. The video gives viewers insight into how photos can be used in professional model baseball bat authentication.
"The video explains how examining unique bat characteristics can help place professional model bats into the hands of the players. From handle preparation, such as the use of pine tar and tape, to the various styles of knob markings, we take a look at some of the top players in baseball history. We conclude the program with a detailed look at photo-matching, the ultimate level of authentication," explained Orlando.
Two other PSA10 Webcast programs also now online are titled "10 Tips For Building A Better Collection," also narrated by Orlando, and "4 Signs That An Autograph Might Be A Forgery" narrated by PSA/DNA autograph expert Steve Grad.
Upcoming videos which are posted every few weeks will cover topics such as card grading and collecting autographs.
"A big part of what we do at PSA is provide content in all sorts of formats. The information comes in the form of price guides, population reports, articles, images, expert narratives and so on. The PSA10 Webcast series is our latest form of giving collectors useful content and improving the hobby experience," said Orlando.
Another valuable and free resourse for beginning-to-advanced collectors is PSA CollectibleFacts™ (http://www.psacollectiblefacts.com), the unparalleled online reference for collectibles and memorabilia. There are detailed, illustrated sections and hundreds of web pages about bats, cards, autographs and tickets.

text: An Electronic Design article discusses whether the future of robots shold be life-like androids or general-purpose humanoids. Hiroshi Ishiguro argues for androids while Stephen Keeney, of Honda, believes humanoids are the way to go. For androids to be accepted in human society, the uncanny valley must be bridged. This makes androids a more difficult and expensive goal. Keeney argues that robots don't need to replace humans, just serve as tools that make our life better, so a humanoid design like ASIMO should work well. He also points out that years of science fiction have led people, even children, to have a great deal of acceptence of mechanical-looking humanoid robots. The article suggests that eventually, the only difference between the two will be exterior appearance, "take ASIMO's underlying technologies and apply human-looking skin made of silicon with integrated piezoelectric touch sensors and plenty of actuators for controlling facial features. You'd get Hiroshi Ishiguro's Androids."

Turning Tenons
The basis for the following article was written by Tyler Lane for his website, and is used by permission.
Turning tenons is the area of pipe making that allows for the least amount of error. One must be very precise and accurate with tenon turning in order end up with a well fit stem. Tenon diameter variances of hundredths of an inch have a HUGE impact on the tightness of the fit between tenon and mortise. This is why it is typical to turn tenons with a metal lathe. A metal lathe can turn to very precise diameters. For example, my Taig is capable of accuracies of 5/10,000 of an inch! Not bad for a $400 lathe!
Actually turning the tenon is rather obvious if you are familiar with the use of a metal lathe. Rather than going through a step-by-step explaination of the process like I have in other areas of the site, I will list some pointers that are helpful in the process.
Always keep your cutting tools sharp! I don't think I can emphasize this enough. In order to make clean, smooth cuts, that are almost polished as they are cut, you must have a sharp cutting tool. I use a HSS cutting tool, and I need to resharpen it with every stem I make.
For the nicest cuts, set the lathe to turn at its fastest speed. Unlike drilling, turning does better when the RPM is higher.
Use calipers to assess how close you are getting to the desired diameter. You will want to stop about 3 or 4 thousanths before your final diameter so that you can polish the tenon with some sand paper. (If you have a sharp enough cutting tool, the need for this is minimized.) I usually hit the tenon with some 400, 600, and 800 paper with the speed of the lathe set very slowly. I then polish the tenon with adab of beeswax by gently bumping the spinning tenon with the wax. I then friction polish the tenon by squeezing the tenon with a clean rag. The wax polishes the stem nicely, and I can see if my surface is sufficiently smooth.
Ultimately, each block of briar is a bit different and will not drill identically to the ones before it. Though you know the approximate diameter you will need your tenon, alway use the actual mortise it is to be used in as a final guide. Do this check WITHOUT removing the stem/rod from the lathe. Once the stem/rod is removed from the lathe you will never get it back in precisely as it was before. With the stem/rod in slightly differently, you will need to turn off a relatively large amount of material to get the tenon round and true along its new axis. If you were almost to your desired diameter, there is a chance you will not have the material available to do this, and you will end up with an out-of-round tenon. When you check the fit in the mortise, you want it to be a tight fit. As you continue to work with the pipe, for reasons that are currently a mystery to me, the stem will loosen slightly. BE CAREFUL with thin shanks, I have cracked more than one shank trying to force and overly tight stem into a mortise.
Here is a video of me turning a tenon. It is a Widows Media file, and includes me describing the process as I go along.

In 1993 -- nearly 20 years ago -- I went on a water only fast to protest the lack of conscience of the U.S. Congress towards hungry people.
I was mad that leaders in Washington, D.C. were going to eliminate the only committee that worked with the poor and hungry. So I fasted for 22 days -- water only. It was pretty lonely at first, but eventually 6,000 high schools and 200 universities joined me and the fast really caught on. The media began to publicize it. The results were powerful. I started the Congressional Hunger Center that has trained at least 60 professional hunger workers each year over the last 17 years. The World Bank held a conference after the fast and committed well over 100 million in micro-credit to poor people. These were just some of the results.
Well, today my heart is again filled with grief and pain for the suffering of hungry people because the situation is worse! There are 50 million hungry Americans, 17 million of them children. 25,000 people worldwide will die today from hunger and hunger-related diseases. One billion are malnourished worldwide. More people are living in poverty and hunger than ever before. The prices of food and energy are at all time highs. People are out of work. We do need to cut the deficit and need to get our fiscal house in order, but not on the backs of the poor and hungry. They didn't get us into the current mess, and hurting them is not the way out of it.
In Congress, they propose to cut 50 percent of food aid to hungry people overseas, and our WIC program and Head Start programs here in the U.S. one senator said about the recent legislation to cut the budget, "one half cuts too little and the other has too much hate." The voice for the hungry among our leaders has been silenced.
In the faith community and hunger community, we've tried just about everything, from reason, to letters, to visits, to admonishments. When you face a crucial situation and all the things you've tried seem to fail, a fast signals an appeal for divine guidance and direction. It's time to call on God. A fast has to be first unto God to humble ourselves and unleash God. Your faith is also unleashed when you struggle against injustice. Fasting, when done with the right heart and the right motive, may provide a key to unlock doors when other keys have failed. When you set aside the needs of your body and seek God with all your heart, you're saying, "God, I mean business, and I'm not going to let go unless you answer!" Fasting gives an edge to your prayers -- a power. And it says I do not intend to take no for an answer.
So on Monday March 28, 2011 -- nearly 20 years after my original fast -- I began fasting again, along with a growing movement of friends from around the country including Jim Wallis, David Beckmann, Ruth Messinger, and others.
The stakes are even higher this time around, as many of the proposed budget cuts will cause even greater harm to vulnerable people than the cuts that provoked my last fast. And I need you.
Broadly speaking, there are three central themes for this fast. The first is reminding people about the status of the most vulnerable, here and abroad. The second is to focus public attention on the proposed budget cuts and the terrible effects these would have on these vulnerable people. The final theme is that of a circle of protection. It's all hands on deck this time around, not just me. We are inviting you to join together in prayer and fasting to form a spiritual circle of protection around those who would be most hurt by the cuts.
[This blog post first appeared at HungerFast.org: a growing movement of those committed to fasting, prayer, and reflection to protect vulnerable people from budget cuts that lack conscience.]
Ambassador Tony P. Hall is a leading advocate for hunger relief programs and improving human rights conditions in the world. Tony Hall retired from official diplomatic service in April, 2006, and is currently serving as the executive director of the Alliance to End Hunger which engages diverse institutions in building the public and political will to end hunger at home and abroad. The Alliance has more than 75 members: corporations, non-profit groups, universities, individuals, and Christian, Jewish, and Muslim religious bodies.

Business Stories of the Week: July 14, 2017by Ellen Ranta Olson July 14, 2017
United will resell double-booked seats
After months of negative press (remember Dr. Dao, who was dragged down the airplane aisle?), United may have an answer to its oversold woes, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday. Instead of offering four-figure payouts to passengers at the gate who are booked on an oversold flight, the airline will offer travel vouchers up to five days in advance to passengers who agree to have their travel plans tweaked. It's a rare case of win-win for the airline and its passengers: consumers with flexible travel plans can earn a little bonus and United can resell their ticket at a higher profit margin.
Internet giants stage digital protest
Some of the web's most popular pages looked a little different on Wednesday, as companies like Netflix, Etsy, Amazon and Kickstarter, joined forces to stage a "Day of Action," the Internet's show of support for the current net neutrality rules that could be at risk under new FCC leadership, NPR reported. The protest included things like pop-ups, banner ads and the perpetually spinning wheel, all in an effort to show users what the web could be like if net neutrality regulations were rolled back. The online standoff came five days before the first deadline for comments on the FCC's planned rollback, which would remove the regulations that prevent Internet service providers from blocking or slowing websites or charging special fees to get their content in front of viewers.
Fed cites robust economy—and inflation concerns
Chairwoman of the Federal Reserve Janet Yellen took to the mic on Wednesday to deliver an optimistic message on the state of the American economy, focusing on job growth and the Fed's plans to begin reducing its bond holdings in the fall. But she took a more cautious tone when discussing inflation, the New York Times reported, noting that persistent weakness could cause the Fed to raise interest rates more slowly.
Defense Department binges on jets
The U.S. military's arsenal of F-35 fighter planes will soon grow by 74, as the Defense Department announced Monday it will pay $5.6 billion for the new "lot" of aircraft, the Washington Post reported. The government is in negotiations with Lockheed Martin for the first 50 units, but what remains to be determined is the cost of each plane: The F-35's helmet alone runs $400,000. Designed to be the next generation fighter jet, the planes make up the single most expensive military program in the history of the Pentagon, and account for a quarter of Lockheed Martin's annual revenue.
Honda's trucks cruise past Ford's
If you build it, they will buy—a good truck, that is. Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that in the last six months, Honda has sold 400,00 of its Ridgeline model, a car-like pickup that is popular with both truck aficionados and car drivers alike. Honda managed to not only nab some of the market-share from competitors like Ford, but it has also brought in new customers, converting sedan devotees to truck owners. In what could be considered a response to the Ridgeline's success, Ford has announced plans to bring its smaller Ranger model back to the U.S. market in 2019.
Apple and Google differ on dollars
As the market's two most valuable companies, Apple and Google both have an opportunity to shape the future of our economy. The Atlantic explored the companies' differing philosophies, as each one tries to determine what public companies should be doing with all the money they're making. In Google's world, fund managers decide how to spend, while Apple allows its big investors to call the shots.

Spring Awakening, the highly acclaimed, controversial teenage drama, can be seen at Derby Theatre until Saturday, May 31,
This is a Headlong, West Yorkshire Playhouse and Nuffield co-production, written by Frank Wedekind and being performed in a new version by Anya Reiss.
Unnerving, entertaining, funny and dark, Wedekind's play about youth caused riots when it exploded onto the stage in 1906 and has lost none of its provocative power.
In a society where we are constantly bombarded by overt messages and images, Reiss's startlingly modern adaptation piquantly evokes the sexual precocity and confused raw tension of teenage life today.
Frank Wedekind's Spring Awakening was first performed in Germany in 1906 and is notorious for causing riots due to its provocative content of adolescent sexuality, suicide, abortion and rape.
Brought bang up to date and shockingly relevant, this new version, commissioned by Headlong, filters the restless urgency and erotic energy of the original and questions how young people are shaped for their future by a generation that doesn't understand them.

14 November, 2017
Trainer Tony McEvoy is aiming to continue his consistent results in the juvenile races this season, with Oohood his only confirmed starter four days out from Saturday's Listed Merson Cooper Stakes (1000m) at Ladbrokes Park.
True to form, McEvoy has six of the 19 horses on the Merson Cooper shortlist, but Oohood was the only one of his babies to grace the Sandown turf on Tuesday morning - galloping with stablemate Concealer.
McEvoy first won the Merson Cooper in 2011 with Maximus Moonard and again in 2015 with Jackson before saddling up the equal-favourite last year - Vinland (fifth) - and now brings Oohood for a crack at the five-furlong event, for big supporter Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum.
While he has only had the one juvenile horse win for him this season - Sheikh Mohammed's Run Naan (twice) - McEvoy has placed with eight-of-11 runs from his babies in a promising collective start for his young horse flesh. Roobeena and Hikaya are another couple of the Sheikh's horses McEvoy has been able to get into the top three on debut.
And he thinks Oohood will be better for Tuesday's outing, in which Luke Currie rode.
"It was really nice, and to able to bring her here and familiarise her with the actual track she's running on on Saturday is a great help to us," McEvoy said.
"She quickened up nicely. Luke said she came down the hill well. I was really pleased with her, she pulled up fit and she's ready to go."
On a whole, McEvoy has so far been thrilled with the performances of his early-season two-year-olds - and also warned the best might still be to come.
"I'm very, very pleased with how they've gone. It says our structure's working with the babies, we're buying the right horses, there's a lot more to come with my babies so I'm really looking forward to the new ones I'm about to step out," McEvoy said.
McEvoy said he's throwing down the gauntlet to Vinland again on this raceday 12 months on from his debut in the Merson Cooper, stepping him up into the $250,000 Sandown Guineas (1600m) off the back of a Bendigo maiden win over 1400m on November 1.
"He ran very well that day [on debut], he got back and got a bit lost and ran on very strongly to run fifth," McEvoy recounted.
"I then took him to Sydney, he ran a great race in Sydney, he got knocked over, and on a wet track, and ran sixth.
"His return after knee surgery the other day [at Bendigo] was very impressive.
"Second-up to the Group 2 is an aggressive placement, but he's a horse I've got a lot of time for and I think he's up to it."
Nicconi mare Concealer is just another example of a horse McEvoy was able to get going as soon as she hit the track, winning the Ottawa Stakes at Flemington on debut in the spring of 2015.
However, she has unluckily been able to add to that success, albeit adding Group 2 and Group 3 placings since - including last start behind Lyuba on Melbourne Cup Day.
McEvoy said that might have been the run to tune her up for Saturday's attempt at the Listed Doveton Stakes against the boys - albeit he said his hands were tied with the schedule.
"The program's tough for a mare like her. That was the last mares race around [Concealer's last start]," he said.
"I've now got to take on the boys in the Doveton. There's just nothing else to run a mare like her in.
"Because she ran so well and it was only her second run in such a long time, eight to nine months coming off surgery, I just didn't feel like putting her out of work when she's in such great form and she hadn't been able to win a race for the owners despite running really well.
"She's trained on beautifully, she's lovely and bright, and I thought she worked bright here this morning, and she'll run beautifully here."
Concealer has been through a fair bit in her eight-start career, and McEvoy said overcoming mental demons from injury setbacks has been half the battle with getting her to her top.
"She's a real fighter. She had three lots of surgery on her hind tendon that got galloped on in a race," he added.
"Then she battled a nasty infection. It was touch and go for some time, and she pulled through. We don't have to doubt her fighting qualities."

It's hard to think of another time this season when Henrik Lundqvist smiled quite like he did on Thursday night, easy and bright and full of confidence, his seat in the corner of the Rangers' dressing room at the Garden again seeming to be his throne.
From underneath the Broadway Hat, it was Lundqvist, The King, as the star of the show, putting up 38 saves in a hard-earned 1-0 win over the Red Wings, his third shutout of the season and first since Oct. 31 against the Sabres.
It was one in which Lundqvist had no other choice but to shine, waiting just over 54 minutes until Mats Zuccarello dribbled one into the opposing net, less a singular play of brilliance more than it was the ugly yet effective karmic result of a game the Blueshirts deserved.
"The second half you could tell, as we got closer to the end, I think we both felt the next mistake was going to be the difference," Lundqvist said. "And it was."
When Zuccarello finished a nice give-and-go with Derick Brassard, he tried to make a cross-ice pass from in close that bounced off the stick of defenseman Brian Lashoff and just between the blocker of Jimmy Howard and the near post, a floating dribbler the only one of the Rangers' 48 shots that was able to beat the Red Wings goaltender all night.
"It was kind one of those games with two really good goalies, two good teams out there getting a lot of chances," said Zuccarello, now tied for the team lead with 12 goals. "So in one of those, it's typical that a goal like that is going to decide the game."
On Tuesday, Lundqvist found himself in another goaltending duel, this time with the Lightning's Ben Bishop. That one ended with Bishop getting the better of it, a 2-1 Tampa Bay win that spoiled a good performance from both Lundqvist and his team.
But on this night, Lundqvist was not going to be outdone, and his performance took the Rangers to 25-21-3, with a streak of 9-3-1 in their past 13 as they prepare for a weekend back-to-back, starting Saturday afternoon in Ottawa followed Sunday night at home against the Capitals.
Lundqvist shut down two first-period power plays for the Red Wings (20-17-10), and with 44 seconds remaining, a Gustav Nyquist shot hit the post behind his glove and then bounced against the back of his leg. Before it could cross the goal line, Lundqvist turned and covered it, making everybody in the building hold their collective breath for the longest of seconds.
"You kind of wait for a reaction when you hear it hit the post, and when you don't get a reaction you know it's behind you somewhere, so you don't want to make too big of a move, so I just turned around and it was right there," Lundqvist said. "It's fun when you get some puck luck, and maybe I earned it after a few that were tough bounces."
Those bounces seemed to encapsulate Lundqvist through the first part of this season, when he struggled before and after signing his seven-year, $59.5 million contract extension on Dec. 4. Yet in starting nine of the past 10 games, Lundqvist is 6-2-1 and hasn't given up more than two goals in the last five.
It's been a turnaround that prompted defenseman and fellow Swede Anton Stralman to declare, "Hank's back!" after the game. When that was brought to Lundqvist's attention, he finally was able to respond to that sentiment without reservation.
"I'm getting there," Lundqvist said, that smile on his face stretching from ear to ear.

I can feel it in the air. The days are slowly warming up. The grass is slowly becoming greener. The birds are returning. The bull frogs are noisy. And I can't wait to get out in my garden and get my hands dirty!
A Prayer in Spring
by Robert Frost
Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.
Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.
And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid-air stands still.
For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfill.

What's been going on lately? #CapeTownToCairo
Then a good reason to reach Cape Town presented itself. Cape Town is in the wrong direction if you want to reach Tanzania from Durban. But this was a good reason and worth the time and effort. So the captain of the "Northern Magnitude" invited me to stay onboard until we reached Port Elizabeth (our next port of call), which is closer to Cape Town. The bus from Durban to Cape Town takes 26 hours, while the bus from Port Elizabeth only takes 11 hours to reach the city. So we went with the "Port Elizabeth plan". However while we were still at sea on our way to Durban, there were high winds (in Durban), which caused the port cranes to stop cargo operations for several days. This in turn caused congestion and delay in Durban's port and eventually I didn't have time to wait for the ship to reach Port Elizabeth.
Best regards

Effective Science and Practice
Research on violence against children requires systematic approaches and multiple methods for organizing, testing, and contributing to the necessary knowledge base, and this can only be accomplished through the coordinated contributions of multiple academic disciplines and professions. For example, different types of violence against children require sophisticated contextual and transactional models in order to understand causal processes, moderating and mediating processes, mechanisms of action, and importantly, the immediate and long-term consequences of violence against children.
Along with this multidisciplinary requirement, productive research investigations will examine the many types of institutions and systems that impact children, especially those that can significantly ameliorate or worsen children's outcomes. To make significant contributions to practice, researchers must also be able to translate such knowledge into technologies that can be used by professionals, clinics, community organizations, and governments. However, before dissemination can be successful, these technologies must be refined and tested for safety, feasibility and effectiveness.

Hawaiian Airlines, in collaboration with The Walt Disney Studios, has unveiled the first of three custom painted Airbus A330-200 aircraft being adorned with imagery from the highly anticipated, CG-animated comedy adventure "Moana." The inaugural decal design features four characters from the movie on Hawaiian's fuselage as they take off on a wayfinding journey, including the demigod Maui, the adventurous teenager Moana, and her two friends: Heihei the rooster and Pua the pig.
Dwayne Johnson, the voice of demigod Maui, and Auli'i Cravalho, the Hawaiʻi-born actress who is the voice of Moana, were among the first to see the inspiring design when the plane was revealed earlier today in a hangar at the airline's home base at Honolulu International Airport (HNL). The surprise reveal was hosted by Hawaiian Airlines CEO Mark Dunkerley at a special event attended by several hundred members of the airline's Team Kōkua program — employees and their families who have volunteered their time and service to give back to the local community.
Next month, Hawaiian will reveal two additional livery designs featuring custom-made decals that show the characters interacting with the planes in dynamic and engaging ways. The unique artwork, created by Walt Disney Animation Studios in collaboration with Hawaiian's team, reimagines each aircraft as a modern-day voyaging canoe, flying Moana, Maui, and their friends to new and exciting destinations.
The overhead luggage bins on all three "Moana"-themed Airbus A330s are also being decorated with characters and artwork from the film. The planes will fly on Hawaiian's regularly scheduled U.S. domestic routes as well as to international destinations including Brisbane and Sydney, Australia; Osaka and Tokyo, Japan; and Auckland, New Zealand through March of 2017.
Guests traveling to any of Hawaiian's domestic or international destinations will enjoy special inflight entertainment to include an exclusive welcome video inspired by the film, the "Moana" movie trailer, and Cravalho's casting video.
Hawaiian also announced the Hawaiian Airlines Wayfinder Caption Contest which begins today and runs through Oct. 23 for fans in the United States, Australia and New Zealand. To enter, contestants will be asked to select one of three "Moana" illustrations and, in 150 words or less, capture the spirit of voyaging and wayfinding. Based on the quality and creativity of the caption, the winning entry will receive a Grand Prize trip for two to attend the Los Angeles premiere of "Moana" on Nov. 14. One runner-up will receive a First Place prize of 80,000 HawaiianMiles and a Second Place winner will receive a Hawaiian Airlines and Disney Moana co-branded gift pack. For more information and to enter, follow #SoaringWithDisneyMoana and visit HawaiianAirlines.com/Moana.
According to "Moana" producer Osnat Shurer, the story of Moana, Maui and their heroic journey sprang from the imagination of the filmmakers, who were deeply inspired by the glorious people of Oceania.
Though it operates with today's state-of-the-art technology, Hawaiian honors the courage and ingenuity of skilled Polynesian navigators, who were guided by the waves, wind, stars, moon and sun, by naming each of its A330 aircraft after celestial objects. The branded aircraft is N392HA, christened as "Hikianalia", the sister star to Hōkūle'a. Both are part of the constellation Iwikuamoʻo, and rise together above the Hawaiian Islands to help guide travelers back to their island home.
Hawaiian invites its guests and Moana fans interested in learning more about today's celestial navigation to explore the Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage sponsored by Hawaiian Airlines. Mālama Honua, to care for our Island Earth, is a four-year journey by the Polynesian voyaging canoe Hōkūle'a and the research canoe Hikianalia across the Earth's oceans. Powered by the wind, guided by the stars, and steered by the knowledge of ancient Polynesian navigators, the voyage will cover a total of 47,000 nautical miles and visit 85 ports in 26 countries.
A full list of Hawaiian's aircraft names can be found here.

Hikianalia is the Hawaiian name for the constellation Spica. It is also the name of one of the canoes that are taking part in a round the world voyage of a traditional sailing canoe without modern navigation.

Tired of your usual QWERTY keyboard on your Android device? A new innovation from Snapkeys might help refresh the experience for you.
Snapkeys is a translucent typing interface that features just four colored keys, which appear when users need to type. Each colored key has four letters, including one vowel and the letters that one commonly uses. According to its makers, the interface offers "a simple and intuitive way to enter text" that is, in their words, "fast, comfortable, and intelligent." It has predictive technology, one that is similar to what is found on other QWERTY keyboards today, that suggests the words that one may want to use. For convenience, users have the option of accepting or rejecting these words. Snapkeys also allows users to add words to the dictionary, use caps lock, and perform corrections. There are mouse functions as well as options to hide the snapkeys.
While the interface may be different from what many have, by now, gotten used to, the makers of the keyboard are confident that the technology will be a welcome change on mobile devices.
Benjamin Ghassabian, the Snapkeys CEO explains: "SnapKeys Si brings a long overdue upgrade to the mobile device market, where the screens of mobile devices have been limited to a QWERTY keyboard and a small text box. Despite innovations in smartphone and tablet technology, mobile devices today are still reliant on QWERTY-based keyboard designs, which were originally intended for typewriters and computers as a separate peripheral from the screen. The screen space of small mobile devices is precious and cannot be occupied by many keys."
Snapkeys, which uses the tagline "take back your screen," hopes to enable users to enjoy the display on their mobile device without the interference of an on-screen QWERTY keyboard.
On the Snapkeys website, those who are interested may try a private beta of the keyboard. However, its official public launch is scheduled in January.

VMI 76, Gardner-Webb 72
Stan Okoye scored 25 points and Ron Burks had 19, including two
key 3-pointers, as Virginia Military Institute defeated
Gardner-Webb 76-72 in a Big South Conference game Monday night.
The Keydets (7-7, 2-2) led by as many as 11 points in the first
half, but the Runnin' Bulldogs (7-9, 2-2) closed it to 39-36 at
halftime and built a 60-55 lead with 10:52 remaining.
A pair of 3s by Burks brought VMI back within a point, 60-59,
and the Keydets tied it, 64-64, on Okoye's three-point play. A
3-pointer by Keith Gabriel and Michael Sparks' layup capped a 16-5
run that made it 71-65 VMI with 4:28 to play.
VMI led 75-72 after Burks' layup with 43 seconds left, and after
Tashan Newsome missed a 3-pointer for Gardner-Webb, Okoye hit a
free throw for the final margin.
Stefon Johnson scored 16 points, making 7 of 8 shots, to lead

Eco homes that cut costs, save energy
A four-storey home in Delhi or elsewhere can run on minimum thermal power from the grid if the new guidelines for energy efficient homes issued by the ministry of new and renewable energy are implemented.india Updated: Sep 05, 2014 01:02 IST
A four-storey home in Delhi or elsewhere can run on minimum thermal power from the grid if the new guidelines for energy efficient homes issued by the ministry of new and renewable energy (MNRE) are implemented.
The voluntary guidelines for the residential sector in hot and humid areas recommends 15 energy efficient features for homes including installation of solar rooftop panels and solar water heaters that can substantially reduce energy requirement annually.
"If all the features are incorporated in homes up to four-storey buildings the requirement of energy from external sources would be bare minimum," said Sameer Maithel, who had developed the guidelines under Indo-Swiss Building Energy Efficient Project. "Taller buildings will require more thermal power as roof-top solar generation capacity will remain limited".
Implementing some of the measures like proper ventilation, use of light colour on walls and proper wall-to-window ratio would result in substantial savings on power consumption. About 20% of the cooling energy can be saved if internal and external walls have light colours and windows have extended overhangs. Use of insulation on walls and double glaze glass panes could result in saving of up to 50% electricity needed for cooling.
Ajay Mathur, director general of Bureau of Energy Efficiency — the statutory office for energy efficiency in India — said the cooling requirement of a room in a middle class home will go down from a 1.5 tonne air conditioner to a one tonne AC if the measures for one's bedroom are adopted. And it would translate into about 30 to 50% less energy consumption for cooling.
A big bottleneck for implementing the guideline was removed by Delhi Electricity Regulatory Authority (DERC) on Tuesday — the day the guidelines were launched — by announcing net metering system for Delhi.

Being early, fast, or quick is definitely impressive in most areas in life, like reading or running…but not in sex. In fact, if you've ever had sex with a guy who finishes too quickly, you know how much of a bummer it can be for both of you.
Sadly, it's also extremely common, according to a new survey by Promescent, maker of the first FDA-approved treatment spray for premature ejaculation.
Researchers at Promescent surveyed 502 men and women between the ages of 18 and 60 (most were in the 30-44 age range) for two surveys about sex. The men answered questions like, "Are you able to help your partner achieve climax?" and "Do you feel pornography affects your sex life personally?" The women answered questions like, "Are you able to achieve orgasm every time you have sex?" and "Does your partner ever reach climax after having sex for only five minutes?"

Responsible Business
The foundation of our responsible business approach is underpinned by the philosophy, 'being a responsible business is not about the way we spend our profits, it is about the way we make our profits'
Our strategy is focussed on the delivery our sustainability commitments in terms of our social, economic and environmental performance, along with our wider business responsibilities and governance. As such, responsible business is an integral part of the way we work and robustly embedded in everything we deliver.
Responsible Business is ultimately governed by our Chief Executive, Scott Wardrop, and his Directors. An established Responsible Business Committee, attended by representatives from all businesses within Eurovia UK, also meets regularly to discuss how well the Be Responsible Strategy is being implemented and to share best practice.
We have designated Corporate Responsibility (CR) Champions to manage and record their division's activities and liaise with the local community. Alongside their day job, they take the lead on planning, implementing and recording responsible business activities within each business area, feeding back to the Responsible Business Committee meetings. Line managers and the Group Sustainability Advisor support the CR champions in developing plans and communicating information to their designated business areas. Dissemination information is a vital aspect of the champions' role. Their communications via meetings, noticeboards and emails are supplemented by information about responsible business targets, events and achievements published in Insight, our staff magazine.
Sustainability is also supported throughout our business by the Group Sustainability Committee. Representatives from a selection of businesses and job roles site on the committee to support innovations and disseminate developments throughout the group.


text: Workstations In an industrial and commercial context, workstations are spaces set apart and designed to be compatible with broad or specific applications. Workstations, found on factory floors, in warehouses, office buildings, labs and other permanent and temporary facilities, aim to make work more organized, more easy and safer. No two applications are exactly alike and neither are workstations. Most are modular in design, meaning they consist of several segments, or "modules," rather than being a single piece. This allows workers to adjust them as needed for evolving applications or changing settings. It also allows for a high degree of customizability. They may also be mobile or function as a component of a greater system, like an assembly line. When it comes to workstation design, manufacturers and their clients have many options. Materials that manufacturers typically use to create workstations include: aluminum, steel, stainless steel, maple/hardwood block, wood laminate, plastic laminate, electrostatic discharge (ESD) laminates and a variety of plastics. They come with any number of special features, such as overhead lighting, tackboard panels, privacy panels, arm supports, grommets for wire access, outlets, overhead shelving space, drawers, adjustable keyboard trays, locking files and more. In addition, workstations can be designed to adjust in height, if needed. To protect them from the impact of collisions, the corners of workstations may be finished with PVC edging. Surfaces may be coated with scratch-resistant surfacing, and they can be built to comply with the strict standards of medical, defense or food-grade furniture. Laboratory-specific workstations can be built with lab-appropriate surface materials, such as epoxy resin, chemical resistant plastic laminate and phenolic resin. Additionally, cleanroom workstations can be covered with high-pressure, postforming horizontal grade laminate. Workstations can also be built to withstand the damage of natural and man-made elements, such as salt spray, humidity and moisture and chemical spills. For customer convenience, workstations may be delivered fully assembled, partially assembled or ready to assemble. To help them make the right decision, those shopping for workstations should consider a number of aspects of their application. For example, they need to keep weight requirements at the front of their minds. Can their potential workstation support the weight of its intended application? If it is a moving workstation, can it still move while bearing said weight? Along those same lines, those in the market should make sure that the model or models they are considering are suitably durable. In addition, buyers should consider working position; they want to be careful to select a model that does not force their workers into an awkward or potentially hazardous angle. Also, do they expect their application to periodically or constantly change? If so, they may consider a workstation model that can be easily updated. Another important consideration is industry standards and regulations. Customers may want to look for workstations with certain certifications, such as those from ISO (International Standards Organization), UL (Underwriters Laboratories), ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and BIFMA (Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer's Association). Bearing factors such as these in mind, if and when they communicate with manufacturers, potential workstation owners should be able to make much more informed decisions. For the best results, workstation customers should consult with one or more of the highly qualified workstation manufacturers listed here on IQS Directory. To suit the needs of customers, workstations are usually available in a few different levels of pre-configuration and design. Some workstations, for example, are available for "quick ship," or shipping within, on average, five to ten days. These workstations are not candidates for customization. Rather, they are available only in standard and highly common colors, sizes and designs. They are, in other words, stock products. Other workstations are available in standard/built-to-order designs. These workstations can be ordered in a wider range of colors, sizes and designs than quick ship workstations, and they may even be partially customized. They are not, however, the same as fully customized workstations. Fully customized workstations are rather those workstations that are designed and built for specific and unique applications. In this case, the customer works with the manufacturer, sharing specifications and requirements, so that the manufacturer can build the customer a highly specific workstation. Fully customized workstations take the longest to ship and they may be more expensive than quick ship or standard workstations.

Retin A was developed more than 30 years ago as an acne treatment. It's actually a twisted form of the Vitamin A molecule. Dermatologists prescribe it not just for acne but for a wide variety of other skin concerns that respond to exfoliating agents and "keratolytics" (a product that removes a plug out of a hair follicle or sweat gland. Since then a wide range of prescription molecules have been developed as well as their cosmetic counterparts.
Exactly what does vitamin A do? By its very nature, vitamin A causes drying of the skin and exfoliation. A bevy of prescription and OTC vitamin A topical preparations make use of this side effect to treat a variety of skin concerns.
The term Retinoid refers to any Vitamin A based molecule. It's a category, similar to saying antibiotic. They may be related, but some are stronger and more effective than others.
A retinoid has the ability to help unplug pores, even out skin discoloration, restore vibrancy to the complexion, reduce oiliness, treat skin concerns such as acne and psoriasis (the rx versions) and improve the appearance of fine wrinkles.
Topical Vitamin A has also been suggested to help build collagen fibers within the dermis helping restore elasticity and further improve fine lines.
Having trouble trying to figure out what all of the various names and strengths of prescription vitamin A creams on the market? While Retin A is undoubtedly the most widely recognized brand name, in recent years, the active molecule tretinoin, has been marketed under a variety of names (Retin A, Avita, Atralin Renova), some with different uses. Other retinoids which have come to market include Tazarotene (Tazorac and Avage) along with Adapalene (Differin). Some are mixed with other ingredients such as Ziana (tretinoin plus antibiotic clindamycin) and Tri-Luma (tretinoin with skin bleaching hydroquinone and steroid fluocinolone). Future prescription retinoids found outside the U.S. not yet approved include topical versions of Isotretinoin (Isotrex and Isotrexin).
Cosmeceutical retinoids include (in descending level of effectiveness) Retinol, Retinyl Palmitate and HPR (Hydroxypinnacolone Retinoate).
The use of these prescription retinoids can have side effects you won't like if you don't listen to the doctor's instructions as well pay close attention to what your skin is telling you.
Surprisingly, Vitamin A cosmeceuticals such as retinol and retinyl palmitate (usually used for skin rejuvenation) counterparts are thought to be mild and irritation-free. This could not be further from the truth. You typically need to approach and use all topical vitamin A products in a similar manner unless directed not to do so.
What to watch for
- Redness
- Burning/Stinging
- Peeling/Exfoliation
- Increased Sunburn Potential
This is actually why I created DERMAdoctor Poetry in Lotion 1% Retinol. This patent pending formulation contains a hydrating, calming anti-irritant base.
I have personally found my own set of directions very useful particularly for patients just starting out with a topical vitamin A product. This helps mitigate the irritation, dryness, redness, etc., that can develop early on and help keep patients motivated to continue using their products. This applies to stronger levels of retinol as well as prescription agents. As for the fear of using a topical Vitamin A product during the summertime. Applying such a product does not mean your skin will burn to a crisp if you go outdoors. It is certainly important that you wear a sunscreen daily (oil-free if you're acne prone) and pay attention to how much sun you're getting. But it doesn't mean just because it's summer you MUST give up your Retin A, etc. If you use a little common sense and a lot of sunscreen, you are unlikely to have problems. If you do have sunburn concerns, then consider a non-vitamin A product such as DERMAdoctor Photodynamic Therapy 3-in-1 facial lotion with broad spectrum spf 30 for your skin rejuvenation during the summertime.
How To Apply Your Product
- Start out using your product EVERY OTHER NIGHT
- Wash your face (or other area of treatment)
- Wait 20-30 minutes
- Apply a PEA sized amount of cream to your finger
- Dab the cream/gel around the area to be treated and rub it in well
- Wash off your hands
- Keep your product out of your eyes
- If you are treating wrinkles around the eyes, you may apply the product under the eyes and to the crow's feet areas. Avoid applying products to the upper eyelids with the exception of DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge eye balm.
Secret tip: water bonds with any retinoid and makes it more likely to cause irritation. What's the #1 ingredient in any skincare product you could ever choose? That's right, water. Retinoids are always a solo act. Never layer a moisturizer, night cream or anything else you can think of with it. On the off nights and during the day, feel free to use other skincare treatments.
All Retinoids, prescription and cosmetic exfoliate the skin, increasing sunburn potential. Exercise caution and wear a broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen daily!
There is no question in my mind that the day tretinoin became a "proven" wrinkle treatment that the true medical/cosmeceutical search for the fountain of youth began. And to think it all started with an acne cream!
If you find yourself using a topical vitamin A product every other night, particularly if you are experiencing any flaking, the use of a glycolic acid product on the off nights such as DERMAdoctor Litmus Test glycolic acid facial moisturizer is helpful for maximizing your skin rejuvenation results as well as controlling the flaking.
Finally, Vitamin A creams in general are not to be used during pregnancy or while nursing. From a pregnancy purist's standpoint, cosmetic retinoids should typically be avoided as well. Should you find yourself unexpectedly expecting, don't panic. Simply stop use and discuss with your Ob-Gyn.
Topical Vitamin A is here to stay! Enjoy the many wonderful options and use them wisely and in good skin health!

- Discover hidden toxins in your body with Dr. Hull's hair mineral analysis service.
Kidney (urinary) stones are one of the most painful disorders for a human being and one of the most common disorders of the urinary tract. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), more
than one million cases of kidney stones were diagnosed as early as 1985. NIDDK estimates that ten percent of all Americans will have a kidney stone during their lifetime. Men frequently between the ages of twenty and forty are affected more than women. Young men are also heavy consumers of soft drinks.
Suggesting a link between soft drinks and kidney stones, researchers conducted an intervention trial that involved 1,009 men who had suffered kidney stones and drank at least 5 1/3 ounces of cola per day. One-half the men were asked to refrain from drinking colas, while the others were not.
Over a three year period, drinkers of cola beverages, acidified only with phosphoric acid and those who reduced their consumption to less than half their customary levels, were one-third less likely to experience a recurrence of kidney stones. Among those who usually drank soft drinks acidified with citric acid (with or without phosphoric acid), drinking less had no effect. While more research needs to be done on the cola-stone connection, the NIDDK includes cola beverages on a list of foods that doctors may advise patients to avoid.
