I have this funny problem:
- I hate silver/light gray finish of non-touch e7440 but prefer it's matte screen over glossy touch screen.
- I like visuals of E7440 touch with it's dark grey and carbon.
Therefore I plan to buy e7440 touch and if I won't be happy with the glossy screen, I would like to retro-fit a standard non-touch matte screen. Is it possible (screen back lids are the same in case of touch and non-touch models) or are there some physical differences between the screens and carbon/non-carbon lids?
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
The parts won't interchange between the touch and non-touch screens, no. They are indeed different.Read other 4 answers
Good morning: I'm trying to know if there is a Thinkpad model with touch and matte screen. In my company we have several Thinkpad:Yoga S1, tactile and matte, with ghosting problems.X 1 Yoga, touch and glossy. I'm looking for a matte display quality as the one existing in other models, not touch, such as T480S.It is or has been a touch Thinkpad model with a matte screen quality? Computers with touch screen you can configure in the Lenovo shop but usually it is not clear if it's matte screen.How can I find models with these features? Very thanksRead other answers
Hi - my E7440 touch screen went black the other day and I've been unable to get it back. There will be times when the screen turns on, functions normally, but as soon as the PC reboots on reboot its black again. I can connect it to an external monitor and it works, also the touch screen functionality still works while connected to an external monitor.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix the display? I'd really like to be able to use this as an actual laptop again.
Initial research came back with Fn F8 which does not work. Suggestions greatly appreciated
thank you
Hello Everybody,
I have a Latitude E7440 non touch screen version that needs a complete new display assembly due damage. I was wondering if it is possible to fit a complete touch screen assembly as a replacement? I noticed that the back shell of the touch assembly is slightly different and I guess the whole structure is heavier than the non-touch version.
Many thanks,
It is possible - but everything north of the base/keyboard needs to be replaced -- upper structure, bezel, screen, cables, antenna wires and hinges.Read other 1 answers
Hi all. I'm planning to buy an X1 Carbon, and I'd like a hint to help me to choose between touch and non-touch display; I'm not planning right now to make a major use of the touch panel, but this could change in the future. Apart from the touch feature, there are other differences between these two options? Image quality? Screen surface, matte or glossy? Thickness? Weight? Battery usage? Other? Thanks in advance for any suggestion. EDIT: Sorry, wrong forum section. Can't find a button to delete. Somebody can kindly move to the right section? Or delete from me? ThanksRead other answers

Hello and welcome,
I have no personal experience with the Carbon series, but the way I read the base spec the touch option is only available with the FHD screen. I guess that's "other" ...
Used primarily for photo processing. Happy with my progression W500>W520>W530>P50. Really looking for a lighter weight machine and was expecting to buy a P1, but the power requirements and glossy surface of the 4K screen killed my purchase.Anybody feel the same?Read other answers
Hi, You don't need to spend money to swap. Please try the following steps to disable touchscreen. First, go to the device the manager by opening the "Charm Menu" and search for "Device Manager." If you don't see it, change the search filter to "Settings."Once in the Device Manager, expand "Tab." Then find "Human Interface Devices" and expand it.You should see several "HID-compliant device" listings. Some PCs will call it an HID-Compliant Touch Screen, but yours may vary?if you don't have a touch screen option, you may have to try each HID Compliant ____ until one works. When asked if you want to disable the device, select "yes." That's it! The touch screen on your Windows 8 device should be disabled. You can turn back on any time. Regards.Read other 1 answers
Thinking of replacing my current Lenovo. Is the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 15.6" Touch screen matte/Anti-glare?
Hi coffeelady,
Welcome to the Community Forums.
Checking on the product specification sheet, screen it shows as antiglare.
Some: 15.6" (396mm) FHD (1920x1080), anti-glare, LED backlight, 250 nits, 16:9 aspect ratio, IPS
Some: 15.6" (396mm) UHD (3840x2160), anti-glare, LED backlight, 300 nits, 16:9 aspect ratio, IPS
You can also share the machine type model (MTM ex. 81CA000JUS) from the sticker or from here for your machine's details if needed. Similar offer models also show the same multi touch antiglare screens from the Lenovo website.
I hope this helps answer your query.

I have Dell Inspiron 5547 laptop (Touch Screen, 15 inches, 16 GB RAM and i7 4th Gen processor, Out of Warranty). Some days back, suddenly the display went dim and anything is hardly visible. After some initial investigation, the display chip (may be VGA or LED display chip) on the motherboard appears to be burnt out (may be due to voltage surge). Even the numbers printed on the chip is not readable because of which it is difficult for the local repairing shops to repair this problem.
I think Dell India Service Center doesn't deal with chip level repair and hence replacing motherboard is the only way they can fix this. This will be very costly (considering that the laptop is not under warranty so will have to pay for warranty extension, motherboard replacement and repair service) and time consuming.
Hence, to avoid all this I have come here to seek some assistance.
If there are anyone using the same laptop (Inspiron 5000 series 5547 Touch Screen Display with i7 4th Gen Processor and 16 GB RAM) then could you please take a clear picture of your laptop's motherboard or if you recognize the display chip then only that should be sufficient. In this case, I can read the chip related number from the image and try to repair it.
What are the charges for buying a warranty for the laptop, motherboard of my laptop and repairing charge?
Request your response and help.

You'll have to call Dell about the possibility of a warranty extension; in the US, it's sometimes possible but will likely run over $300 -- or about what a board replacement would cost.
If you're getting video, the GPU is OK -- and it's more likely the power circuit to the backlight that's bad. It'll likely cost as much to repair as to replace the board -- though you'll still be putting $300-400 into an out of warranty system, so replacing the system may be a better idea (if you do this, consider buying a 3-year warranty with the next system).
Hi, I have just upgraded to 8.1 and the only issue I have so far is the not working multi-touch gestures function.

ISSUEThe 720 touchpad and touchscreen are the worst. This issue started out of the box before I had even gone on line. When the touchpad does work, the right click/left click distinction doesn't work and I have to use the screen, when it's working, for the long hold until the right click options appear. When the screen is working, the ability to close a window and touching it just the right way is dubious at best. I've tried modifying sensitivity, etc, in the control panel, but there is no difference. When both window and touchpad stop functioning, I plug in an old HP mouse I have, but when I'm mobile, this means running the mouse down my leg if I don't have a surface to place my laptop upon. And it also means carrying a mouse with me everywhere I go. My line of work is often standing and walking with clients so not really possible in my line of work. RETURN/REPAIR OPTIONS AREN'T OFFERED OR ARE NOT PRACTICALTo back up a bit, I attempted to return this to BestBuy, but was four days beyond the allowable return date. I contacted Lenovo, but it's all about mailing it in or turning the laptop over and being without anything for a few days. Hard to find those few days. I've tried to live it, but it's been an enormous killer of productivity, not to mention incredible frustration and some embarrsassing typos.

This has a built in CPU (i5) with Win7 32bit installed. The IDS touch screen was working fine, the it stopped
working. The thing is, the Touch screen calibrates fine using Elo calibration software for spotting the corners of the screen but when you do the mouse check, it does not recognize moving the cursor or selecting anything. I suspect a Win7 problem so where would a good start point be?
Without knowing much about your system, I would say the first thing to look at is maybe update or reinstall your drivers.Read other 2 answers
My Lenovo U410 Touch recently got damaged - the hinge broke causing the touch screen to **bleep**.I was told that a repair was not feasible as none of the repair shops near me were able to source the parts needed.I therefore bought a new laptop. However, there is a lot of data on the old laptop that I want to access, including sorting out the licensing of MS Office (by uninstalling from the old one).I cannot do anything about it as the old machine is completely unusable as due to the touch screen being cracked, it seems to think it is constantly being touched in multiple places on the screen. This means that I cannot access the laptop to copy the data or uninstall Office. Anyone know any way around this that doesn't involve taking it to a repair shop to "recover" my data.

Haven't updated your laptop's trackpad driver lately? Then you may well want to consider doing so, at least if your laptop is equipped with a Synaptics trackpad. As a user on the Hardware Zone forums discovered, the latest Synaptics driver seems to enable multitouch gestures on older laptops that didn't previously support them, including two-finger scrolling, and three-finger click. What's more, while the drivers themselves come from HP, they should work just fine on other laptops with a Synaptics trackpad. Hit up the link below to try it out for yourself.

hi Hersh,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
First do a Power Drain
(If the battery is removable)
Remove AC and Battery and hold the power button down for 15 sec.
Turn the computer back on and see if the Touch capability is now detected under System Properties,
If not
I suggest you contact Lenovo Technical Team about the Issue as this may be a device detection issue.

I've had this machine about about a week, so far I really like it. Can't say yet that I love it yet, but it does what I need it to and the price is better than a tablet with the same functions and already has a keyboard. This machine is kept in a padded case when not used in my desk drawer it does not bounce around in my briefcase etc.
This morning the left button on the touch pad does not work. At first glance it sort of looks like it is caught on something or stuck, the right button works great a broken switch under the button is also possible but this thing doesn't move at all I'd think a switch would still move just not contact properly inside. I need my machine and I've made a couple of upgrades like a SSD for the stock hard drive and a 8 gig ram chip, I am not thrilled about pulling those components in order to return for warranty replacement etc. as I'm pretty sure you won't be returning the same machine I sent in. I'm considering pulling it apart to see if it is indeed stuck so it can be pushed back out from the inside but if this is a common issue with this machine I'd like to know that...

This is an fyi about the final resolution of this issue. After a lot of arguing dell sent me what was supposed to be the touchpad but what I got was only the plastic palmrest no touchpad. Then because it's a "daughter card" I got more argument about the touchpad. I got hot enough that I opened up the back, lifted out the battery, took out the two funky looking screws and the whole pad just fell right out of the machine. The buttons seemed fine so I screwed it back down, put the battery back in and closed it up. It's now great, the button was indeed hung up on the edge of the plastic palmrest. This is a very well designed inside machine, it all screws down and all connections are with plugs or ribbon cables. I wrote back to dell and told them they need to fire their tech manual writers because they're idiots, a monkey could have done this. Apparently it is not easy to find only the mouse pad it's generally sold with the palmrest from what I can tell. This whole machine is so well designed I scratch my head why the cpu isn't socketed unless they decided there was no room for a socket etc, which I can see that argument. So if your mouse pad quits try popping it out first it may just be hung up.Read other 1 answers
Hey everybody, I just received my P40 last week as a replacement for another Lenovo device. So far, everything seems to work fine with one exception: When I turn the screen over to the "tablet position", the touch screen and the touch pen show erroneous behaviour.a) As soon as I make the first input with the touch pen, I cannot make any further input with my finger, so the touch input is simply turned off. The Windows setting to ignore touch input when the stylus is used is not active.b) When I try to tap buttons at certain areas of the screen, especially at the upper edge, the cursor of the stylus starts jumping around and shows up at the lower edge of the screen. That means that when I for example tap on the "X" symbol in the upper right corner to close a window, I actually click on some of the symbols in the system tray in the lower right corner. This problem stops occuring as soon as the angle between the two case parts (screen and keyboard) reaches/exceeds approx. 40°. It does not matter if Windows is in "Tablet" or "Desktop" Mode. I already tried to manually install another Wacom driver mentioned at https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-S-Series-ThinkPad-Yoga/Wacom-Tablet-Service-for-ISD-Driver-Win... and https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-P-and-W-Series-Mobile/P40-Yoga-issues/td-p/3293985.

The touchscreen stopped working suddenly on my Envy TouchSmart Sleekbook 4-1115dx.

The laptop has vertical lines of dead pixels running across the screen and I want to get the LCD replaced. Now the non touch screen model of this laptop has a Full HD variant (1920x1080) as opposed to the standard 1366x768 WXGA HD display while the touch models only come with the WXGA HD LCDs. Can I replace the LCD of my touch screen model with the FHD one? I have been able to detach the digitiser from the LCD itself and have the hinges and screws so I would assume it would be a simple case of changing one LCD with the other. The replacement touch screen models all come with the digitizer and hinges attached which is not something I require so it would be easier (and cheaper!) if I only got the LCD replaced. Lastly, if this is possible, do I need to purchase any additional cables? If so, which one?Thanks in advance.
You're going to need at least the FHD wiring harness:
the screen
and the bezel
You may or may not be able to re-use the back cover/hinge assembly - usually these are different between non-touch and touch versions.
I have a Lenovo T470s with multi-touch (MODEL: 20HG-S0DT00). The stock screen is only 250 nits. It uses Incell touch, not a separate touch digitizer. I want to replace this with a much brighter screen. I am not finding any compatible FHD touch screens, so I am looking at WQHD options.Initially, I ruled out using the great HDR Dolby Vision 500 nits display from the 2018 X1 Carbon and X1 Yoga because those panels are eDP 4-channel (I believe) and a post on here or thinkpads.com says that the T470 motherboard only supports eDP 2-channel. However, I began to suspect that was incorrect and today I found a post on Reddit confirming that the T470s motherboard supports 4-channel eDP: https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/7uqxlf/just_finished_my_t470s_fhd_qwhd_transformation/dtm...Therefore, I think it may be at least theoretically possible to make this upgrade. Multiple people have already upgraded T460 and T470 ThinkPads to non-touch WQHD panels. However, I do not see posts from anyone who has upgraded from FHD touch to WQHD touch, and that's what I'm trying to do. Any suggestions are appreciated. I do not know which cable to purchase and I do not know if I will have problems with the top cover or any other parts.

The trackpad (from how it seems) causes Windows to switch to touch mode on the W541. What triggers touch mode?- Using the trackpad;- Unlocking the laptop. So why care if the W541 does not have any touch capabilities anyway?- Apps switch to touch mode which enlarges elements and makes work inefficient;- Websites switch to touch mode which makes certain web elements unusable;- The notifications button is moved off the screen for a while (see attachment);- The famous touch keyboard button shows up in the taskbar. What we have tried so far:- Updating all drivers provided by Lenovo;- Disabling tablet mode from Settings ? Tablet mode;- Disabling the Synaptics Pointing Device from Device Manager;- Disabling Human Interface Devices (even though nothing with ?touch? is listed here) from Device Manager;- Disabling all trackpad features from Synaptics. The way to work from the W541 is to use a mouse without ever touching the trackpad and to never lock the laptop which is ridiculous. Operating system: Windows 10 Enterprise (issue also confirmed on Windows 8)

Hi there, sorry to be a bother.Like the title says, my touch screen stopped working. I went on to my computer one afternoon and found my mouse stuck in the top left corner, fidgeting. This was what I was expiriencing. (My touch-screen still worked fine at the time, but I still couldn't do anything or control the mouse, but I could tell that it was still working and it still responded.) After a bit of time and a few restarts later, it went back to normal, but my touch-screen then stopped working. I'm used to the touch-screen working incorrectly occasionally, and much like the mouse thing, a restart or two helps.It has now been three days and my touchs-creen still does not work.

Hi Magnutus, welcome to the forums.
Please check if you Lenovo S210 is on warranty under with this tool.
After that you can open a ticket with Lenovo for the screen to be fixed, if it is not under warranty it will have a cost.
If you are the guys that like to fix it yourself (and it is not under warranty) I can recommend you to check the support site for your model, read the Hardware Maintenance Manual (on the documents area) and check how the machine is organized on the inside. On the parts lookup page you can find the parts number so you can find a replacements for the component that is giving you issues.
I hope this links helps you.
My X220 tablet comes with pen and limited touch support with 2 touch points. I have no issues on windows 7 but on windows 8.1 it has changed to be working with only 1 touch point since some time that I don't remember exactly when. So that I can work with one finger only and 2-finger functions such as pinch to zoom are unavailable. My drivers are all uptodate. I think I should completely uninstall the related driver before reinstalling but don't know how to procede and couldn't find the solution. I tried uninstalling all HIDs through Device manager and one-by-one, specifically wacom device. when I uninstall it, I lose touch option completely. but reinstalling through Device Manager sounds like recovering exactly the previous faulty condition. Maybe there is a conflict with windows 8.1 like Microsoft Input Configuration Device which might be unlikely. So is there any other way to have full wipe and clean reinstall of those touch screen drivers? I appreciate it if you put links to the drivers for me, if they are not available on Lenovo Support. Tell me if you had the same touch issue in Windows 8.1 and how you solved it. Thanks

Hello, My Thinkpad Yoga is connected to a large display through ThenkPad docking station. Its lid is closed. During my work, from time to time I see random touch clicks on my screen, and random opening of menus. It is clear that the touch screen is active although the lid is closed. When I open the lid, and still connected just to the 2nd display (large screen) display the phenomena stops. Worth noting is that although only the 2nd display shows an image, the laptop touch screen is still sensetive to touch. This is I guess why the random touches show up on the screen -- it feels the keyboard not fingers. I expect the touch screen to be disabled while the lid is closed or when projecting only to the 2nd screen. The solution of opening the lid while connected to the docking station is not acceptable. Lenovo's local support suggestion to disable touch for the Yoga is also not acceptable -- people purchase Yoga to get Touch. A solution please! Yaron

Hi i am looking at getting a 3 monitor set up either adding 2 monitors to the all in one set up or using 3 monitors with a tower. I would like to get all the monitors to be touch screen monitors because the idea is to not use the mouse because its causing my arm problems. I'm going to use voice activation and an extended pen like a wand to touch the screen and drag documents between screens. Firstly, Just wondering if anyone has seen any limitations with this kind of set up? I'm aware i may need more than two Hdmi slots for example. Secondly, will i be able to drag documents between monitors without using the mouse ie will my finger or pen allow me to do so? Thanks for your help. MPRead other answers
I have a kiosk on which I've just installed 8.1 pro. It has an oem touch screen manufactured by General touch (p/n st6001u). I've installed the driver and it seems to work but Windows still says "no pen or touch available". My customers using the
kiosk will need to type on screen in addition to just clicking. Is there any way to for the OS into touch mode? I believe under 7 there was an option in Windows features but I can't seem to find anything on 8. Google has been no help.
Any ideas?

How important is the role of President of the Feature Film Jury for you? How did you prepare yourself?
It's a huge honour. Cannes celebrates arthouse films, which are extremely important for me, both as a spectator and a filmmaker. I go to the cinema at least twice a week, more for pleasure than to judge the films on show. Here, I'm going to have to judge them, and of course I'll be subjective, because the best thing I can do is speak up for those films I like. But I'll also be very flexible and open to the opinions of the eight Jury members. I want them to try to persuade me if I don't see things the same way as them. We all share the responsibility for picking the winners!
As for preparation, I tried to sleep well these last two weeks and I've had quite a lot of work to do: getting my suits fitted and making sure I don't put on weight so I can get into them at Cannes!

SPRING, Texas, July 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Southwestern Energy Company (NYSE: SWN) today announced the completion of its previously announced underwritten public offering of 98,900,000 shares of its common stock, with net proceeds from the offering to the company totaling approximately $1,247 million after underwriting discounts and offering expenses.
The net proceeds from the offering will be used to repay $375.0 million of the $750.0 million term loan Southwestern Energy entered into in November 2015 under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement with various lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and lender (the "2015 Term Loan"), and the remaining net proceeds of the offering will be used to fund Southwestern Energy's tender offers (the "Tender Offers") to purchase for cash, subject to certain conditions, up to $750.0 million aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued interest, of its 3.30% senior notes due 2018, 7.50% senior notes due 2018 and 4.05% senior notes due 2020, and for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of additional indebtedness outstanding under the 2015 Term Loan, the completion of wells already drilled or the funding of other capital projects. If the Tender Offers are not consummated, or the aggregate amount of securities tendered in the Tender Offers and accepted for payment is less than the net proceeds of the common stock offering dedicated for that purpose, Southwestern Energy may use the remainder of those proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of additional indebtedness outstanding under the 2015 Term Loan, the completion of wells already drilled or the funding of other capital projects. Payment of the $375.0 million of the 2015 Term Loan has the effect of extending its maturity to December 14, 2020.

I have an exciting review for you today!
I love pink eyeshadow and cream bases,
so what is better than a combination of both?
I'm sure you have already heard of Maybellines Color Tattoo's (€9,99) and how good they are,
so I wanted to see how well they would work for me!
Is this a hit or miss?
The packaging looks good! Need, stylish and minimalistic. It's only a little weird that the text is printed on the bottom, like you can see on the picture. Because of this, the product will be laying in your stash with the bottom up, which is a little unusual.
Wow! The pigmentation is amazing! I love the colour, the shimmer and the texture! It feels applies like butter and when it is dried, it doesn't move anywhere anymore. It doesn't dry too fast, so it you can blend it very well! You can go all out and apply a thick layer or just use a little bit for a more natural look. It's also good on it's own, but I like to set with an eyeshadow and apply a highlighter and a crease colour. With or without eyeshadow(base), it doesn't crease! I don't know if it lasts 24 hours -because I take off my make-up before I go to sleep- but it at least lasts for the whole day! It also is a lot cheaper then -for example- a mac paint pot (about €20,00) and I don't see a big difference between that and this base which is around €9,99.
The color tattoo on it's own
This is the look I made! As you can see the base looks amazing! Here I've applied two eyeshadows over it and a highlighter in the center. I absolutely love it! It's heavier then I wear it to school, but I just wanted to show what you could do with it.
So, what's the verdict?
- You might find €9,99 a lot for a cream base
- I can be hard to neatly use the product/it can be hard to keep the packaging clean.
- It lasts the whole day
- Perfect as a base or just on its own
- You can use the bases as eyeliner too
- The colours are pigmented amazingly!
- The bases are easy to blend
- You can apply the colours super easy
- There really worth the money and they're a lot cheaper than some cream bases
- The packaging is neat, practical and stylish.
Overall, this is a really multifunctional and it works amazingly!
What is your favourite color tattoo if you use them?

Amazon's intelligent assistant explained Share Pin Email Print Smart Home: Alexa & Amazon Echo Smart Home: Alexa & Amazon Echo Individual Echo Products Echo Plus Echo Show Echo Spot Echo Dot Echo Connect Set Up Your Echo Learn About Alexa Echo Set Up Tips Echo Show Set Up Info Customize and Use Your Echo More Tips & Tricks What a Smart Speaker Is How Virtual Assistants Work Make Calls With Your Echo Control Your Echo From Your Phone Which Echo Should You Buy? by Jeremy Laukkonen Jeremy Laukkonen is a tech writer drawing from experience as a technology ghostwriter and as the creator of a popular blog and a video game startup. Updated July 05, 2019 59 59 people found this article helpful Amazon's Echo is a smart speaker, which means it's a speaker that does more than simply play back your music. Sure it can play music, but that's barely even the tip of the iceberg. Harnessing the power of Amazon's virtual assistant Alexa, Echo can tell you about the weather, create shopping lists, help you in the kitchen, control other smart products like lights and televisions, and a whole lot more. What Is Echo? At its heart, the Echo is basically two speakers and some computer hardware wrapped up in a sleek black cylinder. It comes equipped with Wi-Fi, which it uses to connect to the internet, and you can also connect it to your phone via Bluetooth. Without access to the internet, the Echo can't do much, unless you have the Amazon Echo Auto. In that case, the capabilities are a little different, but with a home Echo, you can stream music from your phone via Bluetooth, but that's about it. In fact, there are actually better wireless speakers out there for the money if you can't, or won't, connect the Echo to the internet. When an Echo is connected to the internet, that's when the magic happens. Utilizing an array of built-in microphones, Echo listens for a 'wake word' to call it into action. This word is Alexa by default, but you can change it to Echo or Amazon if you like. What Can an Amazon Echo Do? When you wake Echo up (with a certain spoke phrase), it immediately starts listening for a command, which can be given in natural language. That basically means you can talk to the Echo, and it will do its best to fulfill whatever request you make. For instance, if you ask it to play a specific song or type of music, it will attempt to do so using the available services. You can also ask for information about the weather, news, sports scores, and more. Due to the way that Echo responds to natural speech, it's almost like talking to a person. If you thank Echo for helping you, it even has a response for that. If the idea of talking to a speaker doesn't appeal to you, Echo has an associated app for both Android and Apple phones and tablets. The app allows you to control your Echo without talking to it, configure the device, and even view recent commands and interactions. The 10 Best Amazon Echo Accessories of 2019 Can Echo Eavesdrop on Conversations? Since Echo is always on, always listening for its wake word, some people are naturally concerned it might be spying on them. And while it technically is, the reality actually isn't all that scary. Echo does record whatever you say after it hears its wake word, and that sound data can be used to improve Alexa's understanding of your voice. This is fairly transparent though, and you can easily view or listen to all of the recordings that an Alexa-enabled device has made of you. Information about recent commands is available via the Alexa app, and you can view a more complete history by accessing your Amazon account online. How to Use an Echo for Entertainment Since Echo is a smart speaker, entertainment is the most obvious use for the technology. You can ask Alexa to play one of your Pandora stations, for instance, or ask for music from any artist included in Prime Music, if you have a subscription. Support is also built-in for streaming services like iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and others. Google's music subscription service is conspicuously absent from Echo's lineup, which is understandable since Google offers its own competing smart speaker device. However, you can easily get around this obstacle by pairing your phone to an Echo via Bluetooth and simply streaming that way. Echo can also access audiobooks via Audible, read your Kindle books, and even tell jokes if you ask. The Echo even has some pretty cool Easter Eggs, if you know what to ask. Using Echo for Productivity Beyond the entertainment factor, Echo can also provide a wealth of basic information on the weather, local sports teams, news, and traffic. If you tell Alexa the details of your commute, it can even warn you about specific traffic issues you might run into. Echo can also make to-do lists and shopping lists, which you can access and edit via the smartphone app. And if you already use a service, like Google Calendar or Evernote, to keep track of to-do lists, Echo can handle that as well. While Echo has a lot of functionality right out of the box thanks to Alexa, it's also extensible via skills, which third-party programmers can use to add functionality. For instance, both Uber and Lyft have skills you can add to Alexa that let you request a ride without touching your phone. Other fun and useful skills you can add to your Echo include one that allows you to dictate text messages, another that allows you to order pizza, and one that will even tell you the best wine pairing for your meal. Amazon Echo and the Smart Home If you're already on board with the idea of talking to your own virtual assistant, then there's good news. You can also control everything from your thermostat to your television in the same way. Echo is capable of acting as a hub to control various other smart devices, and you can also connect it to certain third party hubs that, in turn, control even more devices. Using an Echo as a hub in a connected home is a little more complicated than asking it to play your favorite music, and there are a lot of compatibility issues to worry about. Some smart devices work directly with Echo, many require an additional hub, and others won't work at all. If you are interested in using an Echo as a smart hub, the app includes a list of compatible devices and the skills to go along with them. Continue Reading

July 11, 2017 What's Next in Standards-Based Exchange of Electronic Health Data
For the first time, previous participants can submit suggestions for possible demonstration topics or scenarios at HIMSS18. The Showcase planning team will be posting on July 18 the list of at least 20 new scenarios on the Showcase website for participants to review. Organizations will then choose the topic they would like to participate in and begin developing the storyline with other organizations. Together, they will coordinate their use of standards to achieve interoperability and demonstrate the value of the continuum of care for the HIMSS18 attendees.
June 27, 2017 Clinicians Are Critical to Data Standardization & Interoperability
The U.S. has made significant strides to enable interoperability in our healthcare systems. Today, providers and patients expect medical records at their fingertips. New advancements in technology have enabled these achievements, but our work is not complete yet. During the final Nursing Informatics and IHE Joint Webinar, Solutions and How to Engage Within Interoperability, Cathy Ivory, PhD, RNC-OB, RN-BC, Indiana University Health; and Emma Jones, RN, MSN-BC, Allscripts; explored the solutions and opportunities within IHE International (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) to engage nurses in health IT to impact patient care.
June 22, 2017, FHIR shows great promise, but older interoperability standards aren't going away yet
FHIR was a hot topic at the HIMSS17 conference earlier this year, with a number of technology vendors claiming to fully embrace the open API. But as Healthcare IT News Editor Mike Miliard points out, FHIR "isn't going to supplant existing HL7 standards such as Version 2 and CDA any time soon."

Zahra Clare Baker Update: Stepmother Elisa Baker Deemed Flight Risk, Bail Increased
NEWTON, N.C. (CBS/AP) The stepmother of missing 10-year-old North Carolina girl Zahra Clare Baker had her bond increased Wednesday after a judge decided she was a flight risk.
Catawba County District Judge Robert Mullinax Jr. listened intently as Elisa Baker's grown daughter testified against her mother, claiming she has been carrying on an online relationship with a man in England who was sending her thousands of dollars despite her marriage to Zahra's father Adam Baker.
Amber Fairchild testified that her mother rarely worked and had even said she wanted to leave North Carolina the day before she was arrested.
After a childhood spent moving from house to house, Fairchild says she fears that her mother will continue her nomadic ways.
While the bond hearing unfolded, investigating were combing through a landfill for the body of Zahra Claire Baker who was reported missing by her father on Oct. 9.
Hickory Police Chief Tom Adkins said investigators did not expect to
find a body there, but would not elaborate on what they were hoping to
Investigators said Wednesday that they were seeking a serial number and other details about the artificial leg the little girl wore after surviving her bout with bone cancer.
During the bond hearing, prosecutor Eric Ballas hammered forward citing Elisa Baker's tendency to miss court appearances.
Over the last 20 years, she failed to appear on previous charges ranging from traffic offenses to communicating threats.
"The only time this defendant comes to court is when the sheriff's office brings her to court," Bellas said.
Ultimately, the judge decided to increase the bond from $40,000 to $65,000 because of the "disturbing and unsettling allegations" levied against Elisa Baker who appeared in the courtroom via video camera.
However, Defense Attorney Scott Reilly found it unsettling that the judge increased what he believed was an already excessive bail.
Reilly believes that if the judge paid attention to the standard guidelines for those charged with obstruction of justice instead of the media attention surrounding the case, Elisa Baker's bail would be set at $10,000.Zahra was last seen in public Sept. 25 and investigators have asked anyone who may have information to fill in the case's timeline to contact the Hickory Police Department at 828-328-5551.

Joint Operations Saves Guymon Goose
Friday morning, the Guymon Fire Department's Swift Water Rescue Team was called to assist Oklahoma Game Wardens in capturing an injured goose at Sunset Lake here in Guymon.
According to Oklahoma Game Warden Max Crocker, over the past couple of days multiple reports from the public stating of a goose that was injured and possibly crippled was at Sunset Lake. Local Animal control officers when attempting to get close to this elusive goose were hampered when the goose went straight for the water and would not let anyone near it. Same thing occurred with the Game Warden attempted to approach the goose. So Game Warden Crocker then contacted the Guymon Fire Department that had quick deployable boats and personnel trained in water type rescues. "We have the personnel, equipment, and training for special water situations, and this was another agency needing assistance in a manor we can provide," said Assistant Fire Chief Grant Wadley.
Water Rescue team members were on the water in boats while the Game Warden and other Rescue members were on land locating, following, and eventually capturing the goose with large specialized nets. Once the goose was safely captured, Game Warden Crocker and Rescue Team Paramedics were able to locate the fishing line that had injured the goose, safely cut the fishing line off the animal's leg, and then return him safely to the remaining birds on the lake.
This is the second time Guymon Fire Department Swift Water Rescue team has worked alongside another state agency. In 2017, while deployed to Hurricane Harvey in Houston, they worked together with other Oklahoma Game Wardens and Oklahoma Highway Patrol lake patrol division.

Syngenta Commemorates Retirement of Celebrated Scientist Mary-Dell Chilton
Syngenta celebrated the remarkable career of Mary-Dell Chilton on September 7, during a recognition event at the Syngenta Innovation Center in Research Triangle Park, NC. At age 79, Chilton is retiring from the company, but her contributions to agriculture and humanity will endure for generations to come.
Chilton is widely recognized as a founder of modern plant biotechnology, after she and her research teams demonstrated that Agrobacterium is an effective vehicle for DNA transfer and produced the first transgenic plant. Her ground-breaking work in academia and the private sector ultimately led to the development and commercialization of biotech crops, which help farmers effectively manage damaging insects, disease complexes, weed pressure and abiotic stress — resulting in greater yields, profitability and efficiency.
"Few have made as indelible a mark on our industry and society as Mary-Dell Chilton," said Michiel van Lookeren Campagne, head of global seeds research, Syngenta. "Her curiosity, innovation and hard work helped usher in a new era in agriculture. During her 35 years with Syngenta and a legacy company, she shaped our biotech seeds research program into the robust R&D engine it is today, and she will forever be part of the Syngenta family."
While it is difficult to quantify the extent of Chilton's contributions, the productivity and economic success of biotech crops are staggering. On average, biotech crop adoption has increased crop yields by 22%, reduced chemical pesticide use by 37%, and increased farmer profits by 68%. A recent economic impact study reports that the financial benefit of biotech crops at the farm level globally was $18.2 billion in 2016 alone — and as much as $186.1 billion for the period between 1996 and 2016.
Chilton's significant contributions to agriculture have resulted in numerous accolades, including the prestigious World Food Prize in 2013 — the definitive international award recognizing individuals who have "increased the quality, quantity or availability of food in the world."
Beyond her professional and scientific achievements, Chilton mentored and supported countless students and colleagues throughout her tenure, nurturing talent and encouraging further contributions to agriculture and life sciences.

Today I got the note from the movers who came and took our UB Packout– official weigh in for my ridiculous crap was 358 lbs. Remember: You are allowed up to 1000 lbs. I packed like I'm planning on being homeless on the beach. A cabana, lots of towels and a plethora of lawn chairs. (Oh! And dog beds and a griddle!) WTF. All I can do is laugh…If you lose your sense of humour along the way, the ride will be miserable indeed…

Division of Me and MrsUSN
Well, it was never my original intention for this to be one of those blogs where I use it as a personal journal. That's why no names, no rate, no rank, none of that have been used. But– life happens. Anyone who has been a military spouse knows, life (and Murphy's Law) tend to 'happen' at the worst possible times. Or so we think at the time– somehow they always end up being blessings in disguise. Heavy disguise. Invisible Man levels of disguise…
Anyhow– Initially, I wanted this blog to chronicle our move to Hawaii and all the chaos involved in that. I had no idea life would toss us a curve ball like this one. My dad was diagnosed this week with a Metastatic Malignant Melanoma, I mentioned it yesterday. Well, obviously this has really screwed with my chi. To put it mildly. But part of this crazy life (Mil or Civ) is adapting, improvising adn overcoming. This is one of those moments where ones' tuck n' roll skills are really important.
Since SeaMonkey is away, adn I am handling this move and now this, a sick parent– I'm going to need this blog to pull double duty for me. I understand, not everyone wants to read about my personal life, and admittedly- I don't expect it will be anything thrilling. But it's a vent. It's a place for me to keep sane during this craziness. So, I've added a page to this blog– the division of me adn MrsUSN. When you go to mrsusn.com you will find my moving info. If you want to know how I (personally) am doing– I've added a page.. In the menu on the right just click 'Brain Salad' and you can see whats in my head lately. Hopefully this will keep my blog relevant to strangers looking for moving advice, or friends/family wondering how I'm doing.
****03/10/14 EDIT: I had to remove the 'Personal' Page–simply because I coudln't find a way to send my updated posts directly to it. Everything defaults to the main page. SO, buckle up or get off the ride, because it looks like anyone who stays is in for both the personal and more public sides of my life. **** ❤ Mrs.USN ****
In the meantime, please enjoy this pitiful look at how my packout went the other day. 2 Days into dads diagnoses, I just couldn't think straight. As is evident by this shipping manifesto… (go ahead, count how many folding chairs and coffeemakers I packed! ) It truly is ridiculous. (FYI: the bins marked 'clothing' were actually just beach towels. Yeah, beach towels. No clothes were packed…)
I need more time…
Holy hell what a week…
So, this week (from Wednesday on) will go down in the books as the WORST week of my life, thus far. Wednesday, I got a text from my mom "Dr's office called, bad news, both gotta go in. Uh oh." So, needless to say, THAT was on my mind. That evening I found out just how bad the news could be… My healthy as a horse dad, was just diagnosed with Malignant Nodular Melanoma, Stage t4b. I hate that I didn't have to ask what that meant. For the uninitiated, cancer runs on a scaling system of 0-4. t4b means tumours, stage 4, and the b indicates a likely spread to organs. My folks walked into the office expecting to hear 'you need to have surgery' and walked out with my dad only having 4 months to live. 4. Months. 4 months.
I don't think I have to tell you, I went to pieces. Still am. We all are.
How am I supposed to move halfway around the world away from them right now?! I just want to go down there and be there for them, and help them in any way I possibly can. But I can't, not yet. I have to move my house, ship his car, hire the property manager, rent my house, and give my notice at work.
So, after 2 days of pretty much non-stop sobbing I came up with my tentative plan. I need to save my dad. I'm not ready for goodbye. I called HR for my school district today and got my leave balance: 35 days. I asked the hardest question: "Can I use my sick leave for a terminally ill parent?" The answer lifted a weight: YES. I know right about now you are probably thinking 'What about FMLA?'– well, FMLA goes into effect AFTER you have used up your own leave. It also is unpaid and really just exists to protect employees jobs, should they need extended leave. I'm not coming back here. I don't need it. What that 35 days WILL allow me however, (with a doctors note explaining this) is to leave as soon as the packers move me out. I'll head straight for my parents home, down in FL. I will use my last 3 weeks stateside to be with them. I need to be there. Additionally, what I will be able to do is give my "last day" as May 1, so I can still be on payroll, but use my sick leave for the month of April and still get a paycheck. That last paycheck is how I will be able to afford to fly home if dad loses this battle. Which he can't. He just can't.
I spoke to my sister and brother (Seattle and Rome,Italy) and we've decided to spend "St.Paddy's with Daddy." So we will all be converging on them at the same time, flying in from our various points on the globe. He will be one month past diagnoses and should be already following whatever agreed upon protocols it takes to fix this. I'm guessing he'll be feeling it by then, so having all 3 of us home to help should be good for both him and mom. The part I'm dreading though, is going to be when I have to get in the car and leave. At some point, I will have to leave for my cross country trek and then board the plane that takes me so far away from him. I hate it so much. This move that I was excited about, is suddenly weighing so heavily on me. SO much is depending on how his treatments go and how he responds to them. I've found cases of Stage 4b's actually recovering! I HAVE! It's not a big percentage, but it's big enough for me to have faith. And pray. Not gonna lie– right now, I'm taking prayers, wishes, karma, light and love, and anything else anyone is willing to give to keep my dad.
Meantime– today was my UB packout. You'll forgive me if this wasn't a priority?
In a nutshell: I didn't pack. I haven't slept since Tuesday night. I'm a hot mess. Packing did not happen. Since sleep didn't go so well either though, I was up early and tried again to pack. I grabbed some of the Rubbermaid tubs I have saved from so many moves, and started throwing things in them. Now, mind you, the UB packout is supposed to be things you need to set up your new home. The vitals. What did I consider vital this morning? Sigh… yeah. Not much. As a result, when this shipment arrives in HI — opening these boxes will be like Christmas in the Alzheimer's ward. I say that not as any kind of insult to anyone with Alzheimers, but simply a commentary on how random my packing was this morning. Example: one box, labeled by the movers: "Dog beds and Griddle." Because, you know, I TOTALLY kept those items together. (What?!)
I already warned the SeaMonkey– I'm pretty sure I packed a coffeepot, linens, a beach cabana, and about 65 folding chairs. Don't ask. I was (and am) distracted.
Oh, I failed to mention the part where I fell apart on the movers. Yeah, that was magical. One of the movers was about to remove a strip of blue painters tape from one of my rubbermaids and I flipped out. On the tape, in my dads neat-but skritchy handwriting were the words "Muffin Pans". I flipped out. "NO! Don't take that off!! My dad wrote it…" and I fell apart , before managing to squeak out "…he's stage 4." He understood immediately, and bless that man, he took clear packing tape and covered the painters tape. "We'll protect it. It will be there when you get to Hawaii. And I'm sorry about your dad."
One thing I am always amazed by— when confronted with cancer, even in a stranger, people are compassionate and want to help. This man had been in my house for 30 minutes, I blew up on him over a piece of tape, and he was still so kind and took measures to protect what was so important to me at hte moment.
A little kindness and understanding really do go a long way. ❤
Comin' up quick…!
So, this week.
OH, this week.
This week? Oh NO!
Whats on this weeks agenda…? Well, I'll be interviewing potential property managers, packing out another load of stuff for goodwill, getting the info on shipping the SeaMonkeyMobile, getting said SMMObile ready to ship (oil change, nearly empty tank, replace windshield, deliver to port…), waiting for the call that says when the movers are coming, pay for the pet movers and car shipping, do our taxes, and —oh yeah!— packout on Friday!!!
Yup. First Packout (UB) goes out on Friday. What that means is, all the urgently needed crap goes first. (Urgently needed in HI but somehow not here for the remaining 6 weeks..?) Wait.. 6 weeks?!?!?
OMG. Shit's gettin' real folks. I am moving to a tropical island in the South Pacific in a few weeks time. I had a feeling this was going to happen fast, even when it seemed like it was forever away. I think that has something to do with SeaMonkey being gone. Deployments, schools, underways, field-ex's, whatever the reason he's gone– we dread them and hate all the lost time, but somehow, they always go SO fast. I might be an anomaly. I seem to always be hearing or bumping into wives who are CONSTANTLY bemoaning their husbands absences. Don't get me wrong, I hate that he's gone, but I understand it's not personal. He's off to work. I'm pretty sure this is what it must have been like for Lois Lane and Superman. She understood, when he took his glasses off and put on his spandex (er…SuperSuit?) he was off to do his job. She just hoped at the end of the day, he would be home, take off his cape and put on his Clark Kent flannel PJ's. That was their time.
This doesn't mean, I don't wish he were here to handle some of this…He is going to owe me SO big for this….
I wasn't going to do it, but I'm gonna. Double-post today!
If you are reading this blog (hi!) chances are you are looking for info regarding a PCS move overseas or OCONUS. Rest assured, you're in the right place, however today I'm giving a commercial interruption. Or- if you grew up in the 80's- cue the spinning block letters on the black screen: SPECIAL . This is a very special episode… lol! (Anyone remember those? Anyone?) Usually they were indicators that a tv show was going to take on an 'edgy' topic such as anorexia, suicide, drugs, or abuse and it would announce that it was a "VERY SPECIAL EPISODE" and encourage parents to open the gates of discussion with their kids. Which they never really did, beyond "Psh. Drugs. You know better."
Todays VERY SPECIAL EPISODE is about Cancer.
Today is my one year Cancerversary. I am one year past the point of hearing the words "Cancer Free." and it's AMAZING. It's easy to think of what cancer takes, but it's more important to think about what it GIVES. Yeah, seriously- it gives! I swear!
It's given me an amazing sense of perspective. I have learned how to brush off A LOT of things that just aren't important to me. People get worked up over the dumbest of things, and thanks to cancer- I really don't anymore. I guess you could say my 'give-a-damn' is broken. Don't get me wrong- you don't lose your passion for things that matter to you, you just become more selective about what you LET matter to you. Traffic? Care not. Rude people? Whatevski. Changed plans? Please. Get Cancer and you will write the book on changing plans… You learn how to tuck and roll, whether you are ready or not. Believe it or not, you are readier than you think and more capable than you would imagine. Cancer reveals things– inner strength, acceptance, fight, determination, and yes, hardest of all– vulnerability. None of those are positives or negatives, they are just truths. Things you find when you're digging for … well… you don't know exactly what. You're looking for a reserve that you aren't sure you have, of a supply of something that you can't put your finger on. Strength? Focus? Trust? I have no idea. Even after walking across those coals, I can't tell you much about it. I know that cancer strengthened me. I know that it strengthened my marriage. How weird does that sound? Cancer is THE Destroyer to end all destroyers (agreed!) but it's also rather Phoenix like. Out of the ash, comes something stronger, and more amazing than you could ever think possible.
I am a NavyWife. Nav.Wif. MilSpouse. Dependant. OTHER. I'm used to tucking and rolling. I know when a fight just isn't worth having, and how to accept what is out of my hands. I know how to make the most of a bad situation. I know I am stronger than I've ever given myself credit for. But what I didn't know- was sometimes, you have to let yourself be weak. Sometimes, no matter how much you value your independence, you have to let others help you. Take care of you. Let them show you that they are there for you. My SeaMonkey does not do 'powerless' very well. He rages against it. No matter the situation, he is going to do SOMETHING dammit!! But Cancer? He couldn't rescue me. That fight was being waged at the surgical and cellular level and was just completely out of his big monkey hands. So instead, Cancer taught him how to be gentle. How to be understanding. How to nurture. How to take care of me when I was sick. He was my knight who rode into CVS ready to battle to the end, the pharmacist that took too long giving me the meds I needed. He learned that nausea is a game changer and deal breaker for any and all scheduled plans. He learned that Ginger chews should be kept in every vehicle, end table, coat pocket and location in the house.
My folks? Also amazing. They supported me through it, flying up to be with me when I would have otherwise been alone (ship was out) or when they knew SeaMonkey needed a little help. For them though, I think it was *slightly* easier. I say slightly, because Cancer isn't easy on ANYONE. But for parents? From the day their child is born, they nurture them. They take them through every childhood illness and injury, and it becomes instinctive to them to take care of their kids. Now, they don't usually expect to still be doing it when their adult-child is sick– but they somehow still know what to do, say and how to do it.
Now? Cancer is now one year in the distance of my rear-view mirror. I can still glance back and remember my visit to that town, but I sure as hell have no plans of returning. I have my scars. They tell my story better than any blog post could. I learned my lessons and I'm keeping my car in drive…
HOW could I have done this…?
Really. HOW? HOW in the world could I have crossed off SO much stuff on my January/February to-do list for this move, if it weren't for the last 2 weeks of Snow Days?! 😀
Seriously. In the last 2 weeks, I have only been to work twice- and both were half days due to the weather. It's been A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. With a capital ZING. In the last 2 weeks, I have managed to firm up our move (Both DD1299 and DD1787 have been submitted and confirmed), set our HHG packout, our UB Packout, double checked and confirmed flight info for me and the 2 pups, confirmed hotel reservation in Honolulu (finding Pet Friendly accommodations means PLAN AHEAD!!! We are using Navy Lodge on Ford Island), visited Fleet & Family for some more 'heads up' info (regarding pack out, unpacking, assessing our movers, etc), hired the Pet Mover (FYI: Island Pet Movers), and called San Diego about 'Opportune Sea Lift' for my vehicle. After speaking with the gentleman I reached, I decided against using it. OSL is a VERY cheap way of getting your car to the island, BUT (and it's a big But–heh heh..) there is NO way of knowing when your vehicle will arrive. HUH? Yeah. So, imagine paying $250 to ship your car (such a deal!) but then the car may not show up for 6 mos. How much would a rental vehicle cost you in that interim?? Penny wise-Pound foolish. Scrimping on one end, willl end up costing you more on the other end. So, I'm looking at hiring Pasha (based on reviews I've read) to ship my car from San Diego to HI. It will run me about $2100 BUT (another big but! lol) it will be on island within a week. Which means… only a week of a rental vehicle. Since I want to (need to…) find a job on the island, I need my car. So- $2100 it is. (**reminder: SAVE RECEIPTS!!! What the Navy won't reimburse, you can claim on your taxes as moving-related expenses!)
Next up on my hitlist: Continue trashing/donating everything that is striking me as clutter or less-than-vital. EVERYTHING. Scrub my house down and make it look nice, because I have a hot date with a Property Manager on Friday. He's coming out to have a look at the house, tell me what he can offer me, answer my questions, etc. If all goes well, I may have him on Payroll by the end of the day. Which then means, I have crossed off: Movers, Flights, Pet Movers, HI Accommodations, Vehicle shipping arrangements, and House off my list. Pretty much, anyway… 😉 What still needs to happen of course- is I have to get his car ready to go in the next week or two, and get it gone. I have to have everything ready for the UB Packout on Valentines Day. (*Prior to that is getting both bikes re-conditioned so they are RTG with the UB, so we can ride our bikes in HI while waiting for our HHG to arrive) Whew!
So, there's that. This is where I'm at. Sitting at the computer, instead of hurricaning through my house and tossing stuff in the trash/donate bags. This WILL happen today.
But for now? I'm indulging a bit in some procrastination. Today is my one year Cancerversary. I have made it one year cancer free, and honestly? I kinda just want to take it all in and enjoy that simple life-changing fact. 🙂
