The men's tennis team is entering the 2019 season on the back of 8 consecutive Big 8 Conference titles and 3 straight Northern California championships.
In addition, the Beavers have been in the top 5 of the state rankings in each of the past 6 seasons. This year they are looking to continue that success with a very young and talented squad. The only returner from last year's NorCal championship team is Big 8 First-team All-Conference member, Sam Hall. Joining Hall in pursuit of another great "Beaver Magic" season is a strong group of freshmen that have plenty of talent and will look to earn the experience over the course of the year so that they may have the opportunity to compete for the state title once again.

[EASY] 2 simple Android tasks
Proračun $10-30 AUD
Hello freelancers,
I will need 2 basic android apps. a basic calculator and a basic task manager
1. The description of calculator is attached on the IMAGE with name calc.PNG.
2. The description of task manager is below:
Task manager:
Develop a task manager that will store tasks. It will have a main screen (TaskListActivity) with the list of current tasks from which one can create a new task (by pressing the "New Task" = " " button) to display details of a job on another screen (by double-clicking a list in the list ) and delete a task (selecting tasks with a checkbox and clicking the Delete button). Only jobs that are not completed, sorted in ascending order based on their deadline, should appear in the list of jobs. The list for each task will show: the name of the job, its date of creation, the date of its deadline, and an check box for selecting the job or tasks to be deleted. A job creation screen (NewTaskActivity) will be followed by the appropriate information: job title, detailed description, and date. to complete the deadline. In addition, this screen will have three buttons: "Save" (""), "Complete" ("") and "Return" (""). Save will automatically take the date of creation of the new job. All information is stored in a table of a relational database and the application will return to the home screen. With "Finish," the job will be saved in full and the application will return to the home screen. With "Return", the application will return to the home screen. For simplicity, the task details screen (TaskDetailsActivity) displays the same information as the new job creation screen after having retrieved it from the relational database. The "save", "finish", and "back" buttons on the screen that shows the details of a job will have similar functionality as above on the new job creation screen, but modifying the existing job entry rather than creating a new record.
II'm sending you some indicative queries to save and search for jobs you enter in SQLite.
create table TASKS (
rowid integer primary key autoincrement,
name varchar (80),
description varchar (300),
creationdate datetime default current_timestamp,
datetime deadline,
completed boolean);
This creates a table that you do not need to put either rowid or creationdate, it creates them automatically! The following is the correct way to insert a new task.
insert in TASKS (name, description, deadline, completed) values ('first task', 'this is the description', '2019-5-13 18:30:00', 'FALSE');
And to get the list of incomplete tasks:
select * from TASKS where completed = 'FALSE' ORDER BY DEADLINE ASC;
It is recalled that small capitals do not play a role in SQL, except that they are in quotes.
It is also reminded that you can read the base on the mobile or emulator by transferring it to your computer (using the Device File Explorer from AndroidStudio) and opening it with SQL browser for SQLite (if you do not have it, you can download it) .
Thank you a lot!

German actress Diane Kruger's skin is just to die for.
Completely flawless and ultra pale are the buzzwords for spring beauty and Diane is wearing it well at the opening of the Roberto Cavalli boutique at Paris fashion week. I especially love her minimal blush and the almost pearly look of her complexion.
Just a hint of smudgy black kohl on the eyes and the palest shimmery grey blended into the lids looks elegant without being old fashioned. The ubiquitous nude glossy lip keeps the look fresh and works well with the mix of textures in Diane's outfit. The chain-mail dress and fur bolero combo is also offset by simple, short hair with a retro thirties do. Take note girls.

NASA Study Shows That Space Travel Affects Spine of Astronauts
How does space travel affect the spine? Astronauts on long missions in space have atrophy of the muscles supporting the spine—which don't return to normal even several weeks after their return to Earth, reports a study in Spine, published by Wolters Kluwer.
The results provide new insights into the elevated rates of back pain and spinal disc disease associated with prolonged spaceflight, report Dr. Douglas G. Chang of University of California, San Diego, and colleagues. "This could provide helpful physiological information to support a manned mission to Mars," the researchers write. The data were obtained as part of a NASA-funded research study, led by Drs. Alan R. Hargens and Jeffrey C. Lotz.
Spinal Supporting Muscles May Weaken During Spaceflight; No Change in Disc Height
Six NASA crewmembers were studied before and after spending four to seven months in "microgravity" conditions on the International Space Station. Each astronaut underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the spine before their mission, immediately after their return to Earth, and again one to two months later.
The goal was to understand factors affecting lumbar spine strength and low back pain during long-duration spaceflight, as well as the spine's response after returning to Earth gravity. Back pain is common during prolonged missions, with more than half of crew members reporting spinal pain. Astronauts are also at increased risk of spinal disc herniation in the months after returning from spaceflight—about four times higher than in matched controls.
These changes are accompanied by an increase in body height (about two inches), thought to result from spinal "unloading" and other changes related to the lack of gravity. The researchers used an image "thresh-holding" technique to estimate lean muscle separated from non-lean muscle components.
The MRI scans indicated significant atrophy of the paraspinal lean muscle mass —which plays a critical role in spinal support and movement—during the astronauts' time in space. The lean muscle, or "functional," cross-sectional area of the lumbar paraspinal muscles decreased by an average of 19 percent from preflight to immediate postflight scans. A month or two later, only about two-thirds of the reduction had recovered.
There was an even more dramatic reduction in the functional cross-sectional area of the paraspinal muscles relative to total paraspinal cross-sectional area. The ratio of lean muscle decreased from 86 percent preflight to 72 percent immediately postflight. At follow-up, the ratio recovered to 81 percent, but was still less than the preflight value.
In contrast, there was no consistent change in the height of the spinal intervertebral discs. Dr. Chang and coauthors write, "These measurements run counter to previous hypotheses about the effects of microgravity on disc swelling." Further studies will be needed to clarify the effects on disc height, and whether they contribute to the increase in body height during space missions, and to the increased risk of herniated disc disease.
Meanwhile, the finding of paraspinal muscle atrophy suggests possible preventive steps to reduce the spinal effects of spaceflight. For instance, core-strengthening exercises, like those recommended for patients with back pain on Earth, might be a useful addition to the astronaut exercise training program.
Yoga might be another promising approach, especially for addressing spinal stiffness and reduced mobility. Dr. Chang and his colleagues conclude: "Whether new exercise countermeasures can prevent in-flight paraspinal muscle atrophy, improve spinal pain and function, shorten recovery time, and how such exercise might be performed in a microgravity environment with available exercise equipment need further study."
Dr. Chang commented, "Above all this science, what I find is the most unique aspect about space research is the inspiration, curiosity and excitement generated in nearly everyone I talk to in terms of overcoming personal challenges, questioning our place in the Universe, and addressing change here at home."

Miami Heat
Heat beats Wizards, still alive for playoffs
After an inspiring and dramatic win here Saturday, the Heat will enter the final four days of the season with the ability to beat out any of three teams for a playoff berth. But Miami also will need help to surpass any of them.
The Heat's exhilarating 106-103 win against the Wizards at Verizon Center, coupled with a Chicago loss and wins by Indiana and Milwaukee, leaves the Heat still at No. 9 in the East and not in control of its playoff destiny.
That's because No. 7 Indiana beat Orlando, preserving a one-game lead over the Heat, which owns the tiebreaker with the Pacers. Miami (39-41) has the same record as No. 8 Chicago after the Bulls' loss to Brooklyn, but Chicago owns the tiebreaker with the Heat.
So here's the bottom line: If the Bulls or Pacers go 1-1, the Heat needs to go 2-0 to make the playoffs.
If both the Bulls and Pacers go 2-0, there are very few scenarios where the Heat could make the playoffs. One such scenario would involve the Heat going 2-0 and Atlanta 0-3.
Though the Heat trails Milwaukee by two games and would win a two-team tiebreaker with the Bucks, Milwaukee announced Saturday night that it has clinched a playoff spot.
But the situation would be far more dire if the Heat hadn't pulled out a game that went back and forth in the closing minutes.
After Hassan Whiteside – who scored 30 points - hit a turnaround to put the Heat ahead by two with 1:01 left, Washington's Marcin Gortat tied it with a tip-in with 47 seconds to go.
John Wall hit only one of two free throws with 21 seconds left, and James Johnson put the Heat ahead with a driving finger-roll with 11 seconds left.
"It was designed for him to make a play," coach Erik Spoelstra said.
Then Josh Richardson – who was brilliant defensively all night – stole a pass from Kelly Oubre Jr., was fouled and made two free throws, leaving the Heat ahead by three with 9.7 seconds left.
After a Wizards timeout, Whiteside blocked Bradley Beal's three- pointer with 1.8 seconds left.
Why was Whiteside, a center, defending Beal, a shooting guard who is seven inches shorter?
"Coach Spo told me, 'You are defensive player of the year in my mind,'" Whiteside said. "I said: When a three-time NBA coach tells you that, it means a lot. I said, 'Not one, not two, three. It means a lot, coach.' In my mind, I was thinking I want to guard whoever gets the ball and try to make big block.
"I didn't want to leave my feet. He did a hesitation, a cross and then a stepback. I tried to get my left hand in there over the ball."
Tyler Johnson said: "There might be one other center that can do that."
Whiteside, after going scoreless in the first half of the previous two games, was terrific, with 16 points in the first half en route to finishing with 30 points (on 12 for 19 shooting), 12 rebounds and three blocks.
"Nobody can guard him on that team," guard Goran Dragic said. "He was amazing, patient in the low post, doing everything."
Dragic opened 0 for 4 but then came alive after a three-point first half, closing with 18 points, seven assists and two steals.
And Richardson, despite making only two of six shots on a 10-point night, put his fingerprints all over this game with five steals and sterling defense.
"Josh Richardson saved us," James Johnson said. "I had never seen anyone defend John Wall and Bradley Beal like that."
Wall and Beal each finished with 16 points, Wall shooting 5 for 18 shooting and Beal 6 for 15. What's more, Wall had eight turnovers and Beal five.
Johnson, making his third start in a row in Luke Babbitt's absence, again filled the box score with 15 points, 11 rebounds and five assists.
Tyler Johnson added 19, including a big late three with 3:03 left.
And don't forget Wayne Ellington's 10 points, including two threes.
The Heat overcame a 44-36 rebounding deficit and 11 missed free throws (in 36 attempts) by helping force 20 Wizards turnovers and getting big baskets down the stretch.
And so the Heat enters the final two games – home to Cleveland on Monday and home to Washington on Wednesday – in a position nobody could have imagined at 11-30: still alive for postseason.
"This team has become very gritty and very stubborn," Spoelstra said.
James Johnson said there were tears in the locker-room after Friday's loss in Toronto, but that was replaced by the emotional high of Saturday.
"[Friday] night hurt," Ellington said. "Everyone was emotional after the game."
The Heat likely will get a motivated Cleveland team on Monday.
With Boston beating Charlotte on Saturday, that means Monday's Cleveland-at- Heat game will be important for the Cavaliers in the battle for the No. 1 seed, suggesting LeBron James will play.
"This is what we live for," Dragic said. "The players want to be in this position. You feel alive. It's a lot of pressure, a lot of nights you don't sleep because you're so anxious for other results or your games. Some players like this, some players don't. All the players in this locker-room feel the same, that we deserve it and fight to the end."

The Colour Collaborative :: November / Faded
This steady pace of seasons, changing every moment...ticking by - this year has almost tocked out.
Tick-tock, tick-tock. The timepiece is silent but the evidence is clear.
As leaves tumble down the days are adjusting to the changing climate, creeping along trying to catch us unaware, shifting us ever so slowly into a state of hibernation.
Summer a distant memory away, Autumn fading faster than I'd like, Spring feels so far away and yet so close to touch...it's almost unbearable and yet we still have the Winter to endure. I know this route so well, the path well trodden and yet even though time seems to pass far too quickly the older I get sometimes, just sometimes, it can be so insufferable.
My favourite season has almost faded into the background, Winter is fast approaching, advent is almost upon us...please let it snow.
Autumn, faded but not forgotten...until another year comes to pass.

What is The Colour Collaborative? All creative bloggers make stuff, gather stuff, shape stuff, and share stuff. Mostly they work on their own, but what happens when a group of us work together? Is a creative collaboration greater than the sum of its parts? We think so and we hope you will too. We'll each be offering our own monthly take on a colour related theme, and hoping that in combination our ideas will encourage us, and perhaps you, to think about colour in new ways.

Mid-West Alliance: Carroll top dog at Trump International Golf Links Ireland
The weather put paid to plans to play the first Mid-West Alliance event of the season at Dromoland earlier this month. But there was only a testing wind to trouble the hardy souls who headed to Doonbeg to tee it up at Trump International Golf Links Ireland on Sunday.
The overall 2017 MWA winner and reigning Irish Amateur Open champion, Peter O'Keeffe from Douglas headed a quality, 75-strong field.
But it was Castletroy's Dave Carroll who took the top prize in Category One for players of three handicap or less, coming in with 32 gross stableford points to pip clubman Andrew McCormack on a countback thanks to his superior back nine.
Jason Twomey took the spoils in Category Two (4-9 handicap) with 29 points, edging out Adare's Laurence Kelly by a point.
In the Kemmy Stonecraft Over 45's category, Castletroy's Gerard Maher had 30 points to win by three from Mid-West Alliance veteran, Fergus Harrold.
The second event is at Galway Bay on Sunday 25 February.

These days, most people understand how important vulnerability management and following stringent security procedures are when it comes to protecting your home or office system from a computer virus.
However one of the biggest cyber security threats of the near future might not be to our PCs or laptops – it might be to our cars.
While there have been no known cyber virus attacks on automobiles yet, the growing propensity to include high-tech computer systems in the latest vehicles means this issue needs to be addressed now rather than later.
For that reason multinational computer chip suppliers Intel are already preparing for this next online security battleground, according to an article published August 20 by Reuters.
The company has recently contracted an ethical hacking team to hunt for bugs and faults which could potentially make vehicles vulnerable to viruses, which if left unchecked could have extremely dangerous consequences.
Jack Pokrzywa, manager of ground vehicle standards at SAE International told Reuters.
Mr Pokrzywa added.
While a cyber-attack on your business might not be as life threatening as an attack on your automobile could be, it is still important to consider the potential ramifications that could occur should a server be breached and confidential information be stolen.
Taking a few steps to protect your organisation in advance, such as those being taken by automobile manufacturers, is an important part of ensuring you are protected in the future and that you are minimising the potential risk of cybercrime.

Nonprofits and social services organizations know that planning and passion can make or break a startup. Naturally, many charitable organizations turn to business insurance to ensure they can continue pursuing their vision and helping communities and people in need. However, there are still many misconceptions about business insurance, what it can offer an organization, and the actual amount of financial risk involved in foregoing insurance altogether. Without the facts, you may inadvertently leave your business open to loss in the event of an accident or liability claim. Read on to learn the most common myths about business insurance and the facts you need to know before purchasing a policy.
When your nonprofit or social services business needs business insurance, the details matter. Your notions going into your search will determine the types of coverage you look for — or the ones you pointedly pass by. But if your business doesn't have adequate coverage or the requisite policies for the protection it needs, it only takes one lawsuit to devastate your finances. That's why it's imperative to either do your research or work with an insurance expert who knows the nonprofit industry (hint: the Nonprofit Specialist agents at insureon are happy to help!) when shopping for insurance.
To start your business protection plan on the right foot, read on for the most common business insurance myths and take note.
Though many people — even those with considerable business savvy — fall prey to this kind of thinking, know that this is the number one business insurance myth. Closing your nonprofit or social services business will not spare you from the financial avalanche of a lawsuit. If someone sues your company and the court finds it guilty of wrongdoing, it doesn't matter whether your business is still operational or not. You will still be responsible for paying the costly court settlement out of pocket if you don't have the appropriate business insurance policy to back you up.
Along the same lines, some nonprofits believe that the fact that they have such limited funds will shield them in the event of a lawsuit. However, this is an equally misguided notion. The absence of great wealth or valuable assets doesn't mean you aren't collectible. In truth, if your business can't cover the cost of settlement or judgments, your personal finances can be collected. Your board members' personal assets can be collected, too, which is why many nonprofits opt to carry Directors & Officers Insurance. This policy ensures that if someone alleges the company misused funds or mistreated employees, the talent on your board won't pay out of pocket for court expenses and settlements.
No matter the size of your operation, your nonprofit will always benefit from risk management and protection planning. And because funds are usually tight in charitable businesses, chances are your company could not comfortably weather a financial crisis and still have the means to continue your mission. Business insurance offers your organization a safety net by transferring the financial obligation of a costly claim on to your insurance provider. So if someone sues your business or you lose your business equipment in a devastating fire, your insurance company offers the compensation you need to pay court costs or buy new gear.
Errors & Omissions (E & O), a valuable tool when it comes to professional liability claims, is just part of the larger business protection puzzle. It's true that E & O claims tend to be among the most costly, but there are other liability concerns, too. For example, if a third party is injured at your office or building, you'll need a General Liability policy to cover their medical expenses or to pay for court fees if they sue. If someone at an event becomes intoxicated and causes a car accident, you could be named in a liquor liability lawsuit.
As mentioned earlier, you'll also want to carry Directors & Officers Insurance to protect your nonprofits board members from the executive decisions they make on behalf of your company. And don't forget that if disasters occur — such as a fire, tornado, or theft — and your business property is destroyed, you'll want to have a Property Insurance policy in force so you have the funds to replace your items and repair your office space. When you work with the insurance experts at insureon, we can help you determine the coverages that meet your business needs and help you find competitive quotes, too.
Even if your nonprofit is entirely run by volunteer work, your business could still be held financially responsible for injuries your team sustains while performing their duties. Plus, your state may mandate that you carry Workers' Compensation Insurance regardless of the status of your workers. This coverage ensures your business has the funds to cover their medical needs if an accident occurs. It also compensates your nonprofit for court costs, settlement expenses, and attorney's fees if an injured worker sues your company for negligence or failure to provide a safe work environment. To learn more about Workers' Comp and your state laws governing the coverage, contact an insureon agent today. We can help you determine the policy that adheres to your state's regulations.
When you're ready to find a reliable business protection plan, simply complete our all-online application. Because we appreciate that no two businesses are alike, we can even create a custom policy based on the unique risks and concerns for your nonprofit or social services organization.

Money Observer's Dogs are having a diamond 2017: over the first nine months of the year, they have produced a sparkling 9 per cent return from share price alone, and 14.4 per cent with dividends included, compared to 5.4 and 9 per cent respectively for the FTSE 100 index.
Regular readers will know that our Dogs are corporate rather than canine, made up of 10 unloved companies from the FTSE 100 index as measured by their dividend yield. Compiling the portfolio does not require technical analysis or investment prowess, but simply involves selecting the 10 companies with the highest historic yield, based on past dividend payments (which can be obtained using a screening tool on websites such as Interactive Investor or Digital Look). Divide your investment equally between them and hold for one year.
Crude it may be, but it has proved remarkably successful. If the rest of 2017 is as good as the first nine months, it will mean that the Dogs have romped home ahead of the index in four of the past five years, and seven of the past 10.
The logic behind this is straightforward: a high dividend yield can be a sign that a company is unloved, either because it has been through a bad patch or because it is in a sector that is out of favour with investors. In such situations, the shares can often fall well below their fair value and will bounce back strongly when sentiment changes. In the meantime, patient investors will be rewarded with generous dividends underpinning the high yield.
Of course, a high yield can also indicate that the market expects the dividend to be cut – something which does frequently happen with Dogs companies. While that is obviously not good for income, it is not necessarily all bad news, as a company's shares can often rebound when anticipated bad news, such as a dividend cut, actually happens.
No dividend cuts
There have been no dividend cuts among our portfolio so far, but the performance of the constituents has varied. Romping home in first place is Persimmon, the housebuilder, with a 52 per cent return including dividends, reflecting the huge boost to the sector from the various government schemes aimed at helping people onto the housing ladder. The two financial companies – Legal & General and HSBC– are some way behind but, with total returns of more than 19 per cent, have still produced more than twice the 9 per cent return for the FTSE 100 as a whole. That has more than compensated for the losses suffered by two of the portfolio – utility SSE and Royal Mail. Overall, seven of the companies outperformed the index over the nine-month period.
-Global dividend payments surged by 14.5 per cent in Q3 of 2017
Those who choose to follow the Dogs must not attempt to add a layer of analysis on top: the strategy requires investing equally in all 10 companies and holding them for a year. The portfolio is thus large enough so that, even if a few of the constituents perform badly, the portfolio as a whole can still do well. Selection should be based on historic yields and only companies that have actually announced a dividend cut should be excluded, not those where the market is predicting one that has not actually happened.
As is required by the strategy, we are not making any changes to our portfolio at the moment – we will start a new portfolio for 2018 at the next update. Those who want to start now, however, can either select a portfolio themselves or use the companies shown in the box above, which are the current top 10. The current portfolio differs from our 2017 one by just two companies, with BT and GlaxoSmithKline– which have both featured in previous Dog years – replacing Persimmon and Capita, which have been pushed down the yield table by a rising share price.
The success of the Dogs strategy underlines the importance of dividends to total returns, something that has long been accepted by investment theorists. The past few years have been exceptionally good for income investors, with robust dividend growth across many sectors. Capita Asset Services predicts that, for 2017 as a whole, dividends will grow by more than 11 per cent – a very healthy return given that inflation is just 3 per cent, albeit on a rising trend, and that it is all but impossible to get even 2 per cent from holding cash.
That growth is driven by two key factors – the devaluation of the pound following the Brexit vote last year, which has boosted the sterling value of dividends from companies like HSBC, BP and Shell (which pay dividends in dollars), and a dramatic recovery in the fortunes, and thus dividend payments, of the big mining groups. Capita estimates in its Dividend Monitor that mining companies accounted for two-thirds of the rise in dividends in the first nine months of the year, and says that at constant exchange rates, growth in the full year will be 8.5 per cent.

Balsamic Chicken With Mushrooms
This budget-friendly, easy dish serves up a savory-yet-light supper. Pair it up with a kale salad, or maybe a brown rice and veggie combo, but it also satisfies all by itself, at only 240 calories per serving, with 27 g of protein, and 65 mg of cholesterol. It's also low in fat (9 g), carbs (12 g), and sugar (4 g), with a nice boost of potassium at 480 mg.
1 lb. chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
1 tbsp. olive oil
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. margarine
10 oz. mushrooms (sliced)
¼ tsp. black pepper
1/3 cups balsamic vinegar
½ cups chicken broth (fat free and low sodium)
Place the chicken breast in a plastic bag, and pound thin with a mallet. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a frying pan. Dredge the chicken in flour, and coat it on both sides. Add the chicken to the pan, and sauté 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan, and set aside. Melt the margarine in the pan. Add the mushrooms and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan, and bring it to a boil to reduce the liquid. Add the chicken broth to the pan, and simmer 2 more minutes. Add the chicken breast back to the pan, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Discussions of migration and remittances often revolve around statistics that illustrate the sheer scale of migrants (231 million in 2013) or money flows ($404 billion that same year). But each one of the 231 million migrants is a person who leaves family members, friends, and the familiarity of their culture, and many of them retain strong ties with their home communities, sending money but also exchanging information. Sociologist Peggy Levitt studies these information flows and refers to them as social remittances. Social remittances are "defined as ideas, know-how, practices, and skills that shape their encounters with and integration into their host societies…and promote and impede development in their countries of origin." They can come in the form of norms, practices, social capital, and identities. Unlike their monetary counterparts, social remittances are difficult to quantify and not yet well understood.
Michael Clemens and Timothy Ogden's reframing of the remittance research agenda proposes thinking of migrants and their sending families as part of one household unit. While they may be separated geographically, they are connected financially and socially, through the transfer of money and exchange of ideas and information. Especially today, a wireless connection and a chat application like Skype or WhatsApp allow for voice, picture, and text exchanges essentially free and in real time.
Levitt and others describe both positive and negative effects of social remittances on the development of receiving countries. For example, she observed an immigrant community in Boston playing in a local sports league that used vendor contracts and organized game schedules. Sharing these structures with members of their home village spurred those back home to pressure local government officials for new recreational facilities and accountability mechanisms in contract enforcement. However, some community leaders in the sending country fear "that migrants import values that weaken families, deify consumerism, and encourage sexual permissiveness."
How do social remittances interact with money remittances? Does the exchange of new information and ideas affect household financial decision making? The short answer is we don't know. But we may have some hints. Jean Lee recently wrote about three papers studying migrants and migrant households that receive financial literacy training. All three studies show some impacts on either the migrant or the receiving household changing financial behavior or improving savings, knowledge, and other behaviors. For example, in the Seshan and Yang study, wives of Indian migrants working in Qatar were more likely to seek out financial literacy training if their husbands had received training themselves while abroad. The flow of information and the knowledge sharing from the trainings may have contributed to these behavior changes.
Levitt's work speculates that information exchanges at the local level can have a broader, even national impact. (For example, changing attitudes about contraception brought home via migrants could affect fertility rates.) In light of this possibility, there is still a lot left to discover at the intersection between social and monetary remittances. How will the transmission of information about financial structures, tools, and systems change behavior in receiving countries? Just as the migrants in Boston spread the word on contracts, perhaps they (and others) will share ideas on financial innovation.

Charles Tucker II was the son of Charles Tucker I and father of at least three children, including Charles "Trip" Tucker III, Elizabeth Tucker, and at least one other son. He was considered a bit eccentric. His eyes apparently bore a close resemblance to those of Lorian. (ENT: "Fusion", "First Flight", "E²", "These Are the Voyages...")
When his son Trip was a child, Tucker encouraged him to become an engineer. (ENT: "Similitude")
In 2152, while experiencing the Crossing, Trip relived raking leaves with his father when he was nine years old. (ENT: "The Crossing")
In 2153, Tucker and his wife lost their daughter Elizabeth in the Xindi attack on Florida. (ENT: "The Expanse") Prior to her death, he used to bug her about giving him a granddaughter. (ENT: "Demons")

Full-body scanners cause confusion
WASHINGTON -- Travelers still getting used to removing their shoes in public and pouring shampoo into tiny bottles may soon have to adjust to something new in the airport security line -- giant machines that scan their bodies for anything a terrorist might use to cause harm during a flight.
High-tech, full-body scanning machines are already in use at a handful of airports, but they may become more common as security officials around the world respond to the attempted attack on an airliner on Christmas Day. The Netherlands announced Wednesday that the scanners would be used for all flights heading from Amsterdam's airport to the United States, and an official in Nigeria later said that country planned to buy full-body scanners too.
What exactly are these machines, and how do they work? What are the drawbacks to using these types of scans?
Here are some questions and answers about the devices.
Q: How do these full-body scanners work?
A: The two main types of scanners are "millimeter wave" and "backscatter" machines. Millimeter wave units send radio waves over a person and produce a three-dimensional image by measuring the energy reflected back. Backscatter machines use low-level X-rays to create a two-dimensional image of the body.
Q: What sorts of things can they find?
A: The machines are designed to uncover what a physical pat-down could turn up but a metal detector wouldn't find. That includes plastic or chemical explosives and nonmetallic weapons in a pocket or strapped to someone's body.
The machines would also find guns, knives and other metallic objects that would set off a metal detector.
Q: What can they not find?
A: Generally, the machines can't find items stashed in a body cavity. So the scanners wouldn't stop at least one common smuggling method used by drug traffickers.
Q: How common are they at airports?
A: Because of fears that the scans infringe on travelers' dignity by revealing bodily contours, European officials have generally limited the machines to tests in airports or train stations.
In U.S. airports, the Transportation Security Administration has begun expanding the use of full-body scanning machines, although passengers can opt for a physical pat-down instead. The TSA has 40 in place, just bought 150 and plans to buy 300 more.
Six of the machines are being used instead of a metal detector at airports in Albuquerque, N.M.; Las Vegas; Miami; San Francisco; Salt Lake City; and Tulsa, Okla. The other 34 are used for secondary screening of people who set off a metal detector in Atlanta; Dallas/Fort Worth; Denver; Detroit; Indianapolis; Jacksonville and Tampa, Fla.; Los Angeles; Phoenix; Raleigh-Durham, N.C.; Richmond, Va.; and two airports in the Washington area: Baltimore/Washington and Reagan National.
Q: Is there a way to make the scans less revealing?
A: The technology has evolved to reduce the clarity of identifying details. The systems blur faces, or they produce body images that look like chalk outlines.
Amsterdam's airport is moving ahead with full-body scanners after trying new software that projects a stylized image -- rather than an actual picture -- onto a computer screen. It highlights the area of the body where objects are concealed in pockets or under the clothing.
The TSA says it uses logistical methods to safeguard privacy. Full-body images are viewed in a walled-off location not visible to the public. The security officer assisting the passenger cannot view the image, and the officer who views the image doesn't see the passenger.
The machines can't store or print images, and the TSA says officers who view the images are not allowed to take cameras or cell phones into the screening rooms.
Q: How long does it take to be scanned?
A: The machines are getting faster but still can take up to 15 seconds to scan a traveler, which could make the process slower than using metal detectors.

I too andrea am a clean freak.
I like tidy too but clean yes it must be clean.
I just sat on PC as my reward for finishing the jobs I needed to do and had no energy to do!
All done and looks spiffy and now just to make dinner.

You'll feel happy tonight you did it all.
Cluttered house cluttered mind.

Good on you Andrea - i quite like cleaning like you have as well. Especially when the house is quiet and there are no interruptions - my only problem is it doesnt stay that way for long! I love standing back and admiring it all before it gets mucked up again. Sometimes i think its good exercise too. Mel xxx
p.s your house looks wonderful!

Good morning Andrea,
They say cleaning is good for the soul & I have to agree...sometimes I think there is no more a satisfying feeling than when you have done a big clean. Good to see that behind your washing machine is the same stuff you find behind mine...how does all that powder end up underneath whei I ever so carefully tip it in over the clothes????
Have a great week.

Hi Andrea - when you are home alone cleaning is rewarding. It is when someone comes home and messes it up that is a pain in the butt!!

Ahhh a fellow cleaning fanatic. I like a clean and tidy house too and find cleaning theraputic - especially when no-one else is home to mess it up.
Enjoy that fresh clean smell and tidy space.

Ok Sweets...I digress! I LOVE LOVE LOVE to clean, too! My family thinks I'm nuts. I won't leave my house if it is torn up. Just the way it is! This is MUCH BETTER than living in a mess in my opinion!
Love your Blog! Would LOVE to have you as a link! LMK! K?

The Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) helps everyday Canadians realize the dream of building their own business through the power of franchising. The CFA advocates on issues that impact this dream on behalf of more than 700 corporate members and over 40,000 franchisees from many of Canada's best-known and emerging franchise brands. Beyond its role as the voice of the franchise industry, the CFA strengthens and develops franchising by delivering best-practice education and creating rewarding connections between Canadians and Canadian franchise opportunities. Canadian franchises contribute over $100 billion per year to the Canadian economy and create jobs for more than 1.9 million Canadians. The CFA produces Franchise Canada, the Franchise Canada Shows, and LookforaFranchise.ca.
For many Canadians, their home is their most valuable asset. It's no surprise that homeowners from coast to coast place a heavy value on keeping their investment – whether it's a bungalow, condo, cottage, or duplex – in tip-top shape. According to the Canadian Home Builders' Association, 69 per cent of Canadians own a home, while four in five millennials want to buy one.
There's a reason why franchise concepts within the home improvement and maintenance sector are a big hit with Canadians across the country. In 2015, Canadians spent more than $17 billion on home improvement, or an average of $5,000 per household (Statistics Canada).
Investing in a home improvement franchise allows you to capitalize on this trend, without having to build your business from the ground up. Featuring a wide range of franchise concepts in construction management, emergency restoration services, concrete repair, wood renewal, window cleaning, and more, the July/August issue of Franchise Canada provides the tricks of the trade you need to uncover the right opportunity, and to build your franchising future in this burgeoning industry.
The franchising adventure doesn't stop in the home, however. This issue will also include an engaging lineup of exciting opportunities in other thriving sectors, including travel and hospitality, food service, and more. And as always, we'll share inspiring success stories, expert advice, and helpful tips and tricks to help everyday Canadians of all stripes achieve their dreams of business ownership.

The CFA continues to be instrumental in helping Canadian businesses such as ours grow. As members, we undoubtedly owe it an enormous debt of gratitude, and on behalf of McDonald's, I thank you for your tireless work over the years.
All franchisors need a unified voice to communicate to government across the industry regarding the legislative and policy issues that impact franchising, and the CFA does great work in that regard.
Great team of dedicated people who are committed to helping the industry be what it was designed to be in spite of all the governmental intrusions and regulations. The CFA has our back!
The CFA is a first-class association that not only listens to its members, but also acts on their behalf while representing for the greater good of franchising.
By joining the CFA, we were able to learn in hyper-mode what would have taken years of trial and error.
Apart from the credibility being a member affords a franchise, I am so appreciative of the many learning opportunities that have been offered to myself and my peers in the industry and the strong leadership that has kept the CFA relevant and current.
The staff and service is a class act. Being a new franchisor, the service and support you have provided to our startup have not gone unnoticed. Thanks for everything.
You know that you're in good company when you look at their roster of members, suppliers and most of all, the knowledgeable team from the CFA. Great networking and learning at all of their events.
The degree of professionalism, thoroughness of research, and communication sophistication all lead to credibility and trustworthiness of the organization.
Good networking opportunities and valuable content.
All of our franchisees were excited to hear we're part of the CFA. It's good to be part of a reputable organization and to know that they feel the same way about us. CFA gives us credibility and is good for guidance along the way for both myself and my franchisees.

alegancy is my style
this phone is really great. it's a basic phone but i've been using for 3 years and it's still okay. very light, keypad is soft to touch, petite and love this phone!!
i got the phone for my 21st birthday four years ago and its still going strong cuople of bruises but it is still intact talk about quality
I purchased this phone for my teenage daughter two years ago and she loves it. It has never skipped a beat. I have recently offered to upgrade to a newer phone and she has refused preferring to keep this one.
I love this phone. I've had for 4 or 5 years and it's still working great.
It has had cola spilled on, been dropped outside and other places a number of times, it's been threw once or twice and it has been in the washing machine and it still works.
I'm getting a new phone soon but i doubt it will be as good as this one.
I will keep it as a backup when something goes wrong with the new one.
i've had this phone for almost 3 years and it's still going good.the memory is super,its beautiful even thou its been around for a couple of years.its one of the best samsung has ever made for past 3 years!i llloooove this phone to death,its like my diary as well!!!!!!
My friend wants to buy this phone and it only costs about 90 - 80 dollars here. He has 600 dollars to splurge on a cellphone but he told me he was feeling cheap so he's buying this instead on an Xperia or a blackberry or a 5800 xpressmusic or something else.
i had this phone for allmost 3 years.
this phone is the best phone i ever had.
if this phone had a card slot it would be the best phone ever.
-the memory zise is good
-the sound is good
-the pictures and video are good
-its a very good looking phone

-great to text message
It's a very beautiful phone. :)Not so function great, but very ok!!! :)
I've had this phone for nearly 3 and have now moved on to a new one (my mum has my Samsung now). It's not the kind of phone you'd want to have for too long. Yes, it does the job if all you want is a phone for just texting and occasional calls, but there are a few downfalls which make the phone not enjoyable.
One of the worst downfalls is the camera button on the side of the phone. It is because of this that the Samsung E530 takes photos (or videos, depending on what it is set to at the time) in your pocket or even in your bag. Not only is this annoying, it takes up precious space, considering there is barely over 100mb of space (which is another disappointment).
Secondly is the outdated 1mp camera. At the time I got this phone, I didn't really care what the camera was like, whether it was high in megapixels or was the worst camera ever. I just wanted a phone. But once I stated taking photos, I discovered a 1mp camera doesn't cut it. The photos are of decent resolution but the result you'll get is a blurry, pixelated photo. This is the as the video recorder. It is very sensitive to light--you'll find out that photos and movies taken of someone in a spotlight will be nothing but a streak of white light.
Lastly is the lack of dictionary. I tend to send sms's with words from different languages and abbreviations, so I was disappointed when I realised I couldn't save them to the dictionary (because there was none). Instead, I had to save them as templates which was a pain and most definitely annoying to insert.
Despite the cons I have described, there are a few pros which I have been pleased with.
Sleek design. It's very cute on the outside (although I never liked the pink colour) and has good sized buttons suitable for those with slightly bigger fingers.
"Women's Life" application. I loved having the option of keeping track of my period on my phone, rather than using a calendar. Not to mention it gives you a fair idea of when you could be ovulating, which can prevent you from an unwanted pregnancy. This is my most missed extra.
"Bobby Carrot" Java game. It may not be the best game on a phone but it does help pass the time.
Overall, this is okay for a temporary phone. I would highly recommend this to parents who are looking for something for their 12-14 year old daughters.
I've had this phone for over two years now. recently I've had to resort to using it again.
The reception is horrifying! the design is pk in my opinion. and the phone dies within 2 days, I have to carry my charger practically everywhere with me in case it dies on me.
From the people I know everybody hates samsung phones... the battery and reception are horrifying
Well I've had mine for about 2 1/2yrs now and i think i'm ready to move on to another samsung model. I keep it in it's protective cover and rarely drop it yet the blue light on the outside is only half showing. Also the camera takes pics on its own when in my bag. I'm finding the pink colour to be a bit babyish and want a change.
i have this mobile it's very nice i like it and this phone it's for girls thank you
i had this phone for 2 years and within those years it was slammed to the ground,thrown around like garbage,practically broke apart because of all the throwing but that did nothing to stop it from functioning excellently. Everything still worked well so i feel this phone is very good.

The title of the world's longest zip line will soon belong to the United Arab Emirates.
Located at the tallest point of the Jebel Jais mountain this zip line is set to not just extend the record of the longest zip line, but to introduce its own unique features.
"We are launching the longest zipline in the world," said Haitham Mattar, chief executive of the Ras al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority. "We are aiming to launch by the end of the year, with a mini adventure park around it as well."
Already home to the world's tallest building and biggest shopping mall,The United Arab Emirates is quickly stacking up on world-class attractions. According to the Independent, the line will be longer than 28 soccer fields (about 9,200 feet or 1.7 miles) and more than three times the height of of Dubai's tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa.
The previous record holder was at the Toroverde Adventure Park in Orocovis, Puerto Rico, which is roughly 2205 meters long.
"What makes this zip line unique is that participants are strapped in the face-down position, which makes them really feel like they're flying through the air," cited Home and Leisure. "There is no age limit, but participants have to meet the minimum weight of 77 lbs and the maximum weight of 330 lbs, and a minimum height of 47 inches."
If you're below these measurements, sorry, you'll just have to wait your turn. Mattar also said: "This zip line will be like no other experience out there. Once harnessed to the zip line in a horizontal superhero position, participants will soar through the sky as if they're a bird. It's the closest you can get to the experience of flying."
That sounds thrilling and, erm, terrifying. But it's certainly sounds worth a try.

(The following started as a quick share for a newsletter but turned into a short story just for a little fun. )
Last week I accidentally discovered a sure fire way to motivate me to get to the office early.
And it starts by telling you I've had some pretty stable relationships with beds so far in my life. Yes. Beds.
No matter how many couches, futons, or hammocks I sleep with I usually have a steady relationship with a single bed on a regular basis - well not single in that sense. I mean I usually make it a couple - I mean double - with the ones I go for. Some have pairings have even lasted for years.
My day to day schedule can vary but I usually try to commit a solid 7 hours to my bae/bed each night (it used to be 10 hours in the early years of university - I could sleep FOR HOURS back then).
As more things are demanding my attention these days we've experimented partnering up with other objects to make sure things stay balanced in our relationship. Since then it has been a challenge to figure out what to bring into our circle of trust. Night lights and extra pillows have been tried. Even getting a little freaky with a pizza box and some ranch dip...oh wait, that might have just been some bedroom porn I saw once...moving on.
So far my mobile phone has taken that spot in our new threesome where many other objects just couldn't fulfil my sleep cycle needs (sorry other alarms, it wasn't you, it was me).
Since then my bed has been a bit jealous of the attention I show my phone sometimes but ultimately it knows that Ash needs to get up and do stuff, and as long as I can get it done I'm going to keep coming back each night.
I usually have a few words with both of them each night and we compromise between time spent with my bed and when my phone is going to insist I wake up in the morning. This conversation changes so often that I set a new time each night as a little ritual. ("Okay bed I'll be there by midnight, but phone is going to want me up by seven")
Last week we were about to take our three way one step further and thought I would try the new "sleep" feature on my phone.
Instead of setting a new alarm each night, it would automatically go off at the same time each morning as a new trust exercise (good relationships are built on trust - remember that).
Which is all fine and everything but as anyone who uses something other than a bedside alarm clock knows...your phone has this habit of travelling with you...almost everywhere.
Like the office...
Sometimes when I'm at my office I have a bit of me-time by putting the phone in the desk drawer so I can focus at the task at hand without it seducing me in the middle of work.
But it just so happens this particular evening I didn't think to take it out of the drawer until it was too late and I was already halfway out the office door to leave.
Yup. I wasn't even back at home yet when I realized I forgot my phone at my desk. I could have gone back BUT - and here's the big BUT - I had already said "goodbye" and "have a great evening!" to my three remaining coworkers AND WE KNOW THERE'S NO GOING BACK FROM THAT.
Ah. It was okay. People lived without phones at one point, right? I could do this. So I continued home happy to make the most of a phone-less evening and to tell my bed that it would just be the two of us that night.
And as we embraced each other and I snuggled up close to enjoy our alone time, distraction free.
7 glorious hours later I woke with the sun peeping through the blinds and felt a little bit of satisfaction. Flexible working hours meant I could take a couple extra minutes this morning. Feeling good.
Although it was short lived when of all the things I could have started the day with my brain took care to greet me with one little detail.
My alarm.
On my phone.
It was going to go off.
Not beside my bed.
At my desk.
At work.
In an open plan office.
Right within earshot of everyone.
At full volume.
In 30 minutes.
Crap. 💩
Oh, and all the directors happened to be in for an early meeting today.
Double crap. 💩 💩
So instead of the lie in I had planned for the morning, I instigated Operation Alarm Silencer.
Scrambling to get ready I proceeded to the office at twice the normal pace to stop my phone from disrupting the work of all the early risers and prepare for action movie level bomb diffusal. As the local church sounded the first top of the hour bell ("local church" - that's European cities for yah) I burst through the door of the office and with a quick nod to everyone who glanced up at me, marched over to my desk.
I pull the door handle and...locked. A electric tingle goes through my spine and I reach in my pocket for my keys. Not there. *Gasp* where's my keys? Oh, right, other pocket.
I insert the keys and I can feel the vibration of the impending telling off I was about to get ("And where do you think you were last night leaving me all alone here?!"). Masked by the noise of the drawer opening in one motion I simultaneously pulled the handle with one hand and pressed the snooze button with the other.
Mission completed. *Phew*
Damage report: One funny look from Mark. Everyone else seems to be unaware of the catastrophe that was just prevented. Excellent work Agent Ash.
Well. That's one way to make it in the office on time.
Lesson learned: Don't bring those new features to the bedroom and your relationships unless you're ready to face the consequences the morning after. 😛
