Ford earnings fall on Europe slump
DEARBORN, Mich. � Ford Motor Co. has tidied up North America, sweeping out old products and excess costs. But the rest of the world keeps making a mess.
The company�s net income fell 45 percent to $1.4 billion in the first quarter. Ford took a beating from plummeting European sales and weaker results in Asia and South America. It also started paying more in taxes.
North America came to the rescue, with a $2.1 billion profit, its best first-quarter performance since Ford began reporting the region separately in 2000.
Procter & Gamble net income slips
NEW YORK � Procter & Gamble Co. said Friday that it is rolling back some price increases and focusing on introducing new products in developed markets as the world�s largest consumer product maker seeks to reignite market share growth.
The maker of products ranging from Bounty paper towels to Luvs diapers also lowered its guidance below expectations for the fiscal year as its third-quarter net income dropped 16 percent, hurt by restructuring charges and continued high costs for items such as diesel fuel and packaging. Shares fell 3 percent in morning trading.
Chevron stickswith oil and it pays off
NEW YORK � Chevron never bought into North America�s natural gas boom the way Big Oil peers such as Exxon did.
That decision appears to be paying off.
The San Ramon, Calif., energy giant reported Friday that its first-quarter profit increased 4.2 percent as oil sold for higher prices. Meanwhile a plunge in U.S. natural gas prices contributed to an 11 percent profit decline at Exxon. ConocoPhillips, another major U.S. natural gas producer, saw its profit fall 3 percent.
Merck posts big profit jump on lower charges
Drugmaker Merck & Co. said Friday that its first-quarter profit jumped 67 percent despite lower-than-expected sales, because of lower spending on production, marketing and research as well as an arbitration charge a year ago.
The maker of Singulair for asthma and allergies said net income was $1.74 billion, or 56 cents per share, up from $1.04 billion, or 34 cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding one-time items such as integration of acquired businesses, Merck would have earned $3.04 billion, or 99 cents per share, up from $2.86 billion, or 92 cents per share, in 2011�s first quarter.
Yahoo escalates patent battle with Facebook
SAN FRANCISCO � Yahoo is bringing out more artillery in its patent battle with Facebook.
It is adding new allegations of intellectual property theft to its six-week-old lawsuit against Facebook. In court papers filed Friday, Yahoo Inc. now says Facebook�s online social network infringes on 12 of its Internet patents, up from 10.
Yahoo also denied allegations that it has been infringing on 10 of Facebook�s patents and accused its rival of engaging in shady behavior.
Among other things, Yahoo says Facebook violated an agreement between the two companies to notify each other of possible patent infringements before filing a court claim.

This makes the third time I've started this introduction- my mind is racing with ideas to write about. I apologize for the length in between posts, but I've been house searching, purchasing a brand new home, and organizing a move. On top of that, I've attended a pre-trial that once again rocked my world. You'd think by now, I'd always have on my safety gear, and that I'd be prepared for the days when I walk out my front door, and once again my world changes forever. That eventually, I'd add safety gear to my numerous other costumes, masks, equipment, and alter-egos it takes to survive the death of your husband. But, this stubborn girl just wants to exist in her world where "everything goes according to plan." And, so over the past few weeks, I've been forced to once again change who I am because one person who, I don't even know, decided to link our futures together forever. I have so much that I could write to you about, and considering I'm taking a much needed vacation from the real world, and I'm currently siting on a bed in a hotel room, I just might write more later…but for now, one thought just keeps replaying in my head. And, I've learned, if I just write about it, as scary as it may be, these are the blogs you all need as much as I do. They seem to be the ones that respond to both of our needs the most. I blog not just for me, but for you as well. So, as you are reading this, please be mindful that "Never take someone's feelings for granted because you never know how much courage that they took to show those feelings to you." Today's post takes a considerable amount of courage. It lets you into places, I generally keep guarded even from my own self. But, I firmly believe that there are lessons for others to learn through my experience, and that because of the circumstances, my life lessons can also become moments of inspiration for you as well.
And so we begin with the events of one month prior to today. I was house-hunting, juggling life insurance claims, being a mommy to a little boy who lost his daddy – sadly all events that seem to have become my new "normal/routine." And, I thought I was fine. I disregarded my therapist's advice when she said, " I think buying a house is just too much for you right now. I think you should wait." I figured, she was wrong. Yep, completely a narcissistic thought, but she obviously didn't know me. I could handle this! So, I house hunted. I rationalized it in my mind with thoughts such as, " just because you lost your husband, doesn't give you the green light to be financially irresponsible. You have the means now to own a house, so stop throwing money away on rent." It seemed logical at the time. But, what I really was doing, was covering up my real reason to leave the house. Really, I wanted to move so badly because I just couldn't handle the bad memories anymore. I couldn't handle being bombarded by memories in every inch of my house. I didn't want to think these thoughts because in my mind those thoughts betrayed J. Now, I realize, those thoughts weren't a sign of betrayal- just my mental well-being. I found it increasingly more difficult to be happy and positive in the house we were renting. And, I thought that buying a new house would solve that problem. It seemed logical in my mind at the time, and really in the end, it was the right decision. But, moving out of that house, packing up J's things, and being forced to relive every memory we've basically ever made together, caused me to have to posses an Olympic like strength. You know, those guys who pull an eighteen-wheeler across payment with just their own personal body strength- that's the amount of strength I needed. And, then, in the same instance, it's strength I didn't want to possess…
Somehow, with numerous breaks, and the help of friends who are my lifeline at this point, I found a house, packed up J's items and my own, and moved. I walked out of the house that was the last place we ever lived together. And as I walked out that door one final time, I was overcome with a unique combination of happiness and sadness. Buying a new house was the first real step I've taken that secures C's and my future. It's the first huge decision I've made that separates us from the events of J's death. And, I didn't know if I was ready for that, but I also knew I wasn't ready to stay in the old house. So, I walked out the door and into the new home- the symbol in my mind of the rest of C's and my life. And, once again, as I walked out the door, I felt like I had that huge harness attached to my body, and that I was lugging behind me an eighteen-wheeler. Staying in the old house brought back memories I no longer could bear, and I wanted, craved, desired a fresh start. And at the same time, I felt that giving myself that fresh start betrayed J. Welcome back my old friend: self-imposed guilt. But, I shut the door. I got in my car. Drove across town, and I walked into the new house. And, behind me came my huge, heavy, cumbersome eighteen-wheeler.
When I walked into the new house, I wanted more than anything to leave behind the truck. To take off my harness, to stop being strong, and to just sink into the safety of my "new" start. But, I found oddly enough, I wasn't happy there either. If anything, it felt like someone had secretly added more cargo to the truck, and that instead of just pulling a truck, I was pulling a truck that was half-full. I distinctly remember laying in bed one morning at 3 am thinking, "why would I think a new house would solve my problems. Erase the bad memories of answering the door at 12:40 am?" I hated, well still hate, that front door. I hated looking at it, walking down those steps, walking across the drive way. I hated looking at the closet where the dress I wore to J's funeral was still sitting. But, when I looked in the closet at the new house, or I walked through the new front door…I felt nothing. Not happiness, not sadness – simply nothing. And, as much as I hate feeling sadness, I hate feeling nothing even more. I wanted so badly to be as "happy," as I told all of you I was. And really, I was happy with the house. It's everything I could possibly want. But, when I looked at its beauty, all I saw was guilt.
The beautiful countertops, the hardwood floors, the beautiful trim, the huge closet, all reminders of my own guilt. That, I wouldn't have this beautiful house, if J didn't die. That because of his death, I'm standing in my dream home. And, I just cried, and cried, and cried. And so here in lies what I like to call my intelligence vs emotion complex. Intellectually I know my thoughts are silly. That J would be more than happy for us to have this beautiful house, a secure future for C, etc. But emotionally, I'd give every bit of it up, just to see him again. The life insurance claims, the new house, the new car, all of it…every single ounce, just to see him again. Sometimes I struggle with letting my intellectual restraints go, and just feeling. And in that moment, at 3 am in, laying in my bed at my dream home, I despised my situation. I doubted my fate, my strength, my ability…and I just wanted to go back to my old "normal." To go back to the rent home that wasn't beautiful, but functional, and for J to be there with me. And so, this time, I added more weight to my almost full truck. And, I had to put on an even bigger harness to tow it with. I prayed for my load to lessen, or for me to be able to work through my thoughts…but I woke the next day, feeling just as burdened.
I got up, tackled the tasks before me, and at 12:09, yes I remember the exact time, I sat down to organize a pantry. And then, this overwhelming moment of panic overtook my body. I had forgotten about the pre-trial scheduled for 1 pm that day. And, while I still had 50 minutes, I was sitting in my pantry organizing outfit- far from appropriate for a court preceding. So, I showered, dressed, and quite literally flew out the door. I might have tripped in my rush to leave the house! In my rushed panic, I failed to clothe myself with the appropriate gear for the hearing. I still wore the harness, pulled my almost full truck behind me, but I failed to pray, to reflect, and to get my thoughts together before entering this pre-trial. You may ask why that was even necessary. It's just a pre-trial. But, a pre-trial means, once again, I am forced to look the man who hit J in the eyes, and see him walk free. And once again question my OWN views of humanity. I needed my safety gear on today…and I was too rushed to even think about clothing myself against seeing him again. Now, looking back, it's sad that pre-trials have become almost a normality for me. That being in a court room, hearing my husband's death discussed, has become a "normal/routine" part of my life.
I jumped out of the car, and quickly walked the what seem like 400 million steps to the top of the courthouse. I walked into the front lobby, and I'm greeted by his and his family's faces staring back at me. And, I stop. I freeze mid step. It's obvious we know it each other…the proof is in the looks on each of our faces. I had forgotten, he was out on bail. That we would be sharing the same lobby. And, in that half of a second, I crumbled. I didn't know what to do. I panicked while standing completely still. The rest of the world went on around me in slow motion..and I just stood still. And, as I stood still, the momentum of pulling a loaded down eighteen-wheeler behind me, causes it to crash into me. To knock me emotionally off balance, but somehow I still stand. And, I begin to weigh out my options. I don't want to appear afraid, I've already been made victim enough..but I can't logically go over and verbalize my thoughts to him. So, with the weight of my truck constantly pushing against my back, and my mind going in a million different directions. I stare at him…I look him in the eye, and all of his family with him. And, I decided retreat… and while doing so, I'm hating myself for doing that. I wanted more than anything to just stand right there, in that moment, until we were allowed into the courtroom together. I wanted to push back the weight of the truck, and to just stand there in the same room with the man who potentially/accidently killed my husband. But, I couldn't. I didn't have the strength, plus not to mention, I knew all of the officers would be irate with me for doing so. I retreated upstairs to my safety net…and I felt like I left every ounce of my own personal strength back downstairs with him…for him once again to rob me of something that is MINE.
In the elevator ride to the department, I fought back tears… I hated the fact that I was having to do this. That I couldn't just make myself stand downstairs. That, yet again, his decision, controlled my life. I prayed for strength that I didn't even WANT TO have. I felt the weight of the truck bog me down, and it took every once of my personal strength to force myself to walk out of the elevator. God bless the poor ladies at the front desk, they read my moment of panic, and leaped into action. I hated showing that weakness to them…to admitting to needing help, but I had no other choice at that point. Bless the officer, I'm sorry, I didn't even catch your name, who left his phone call, his report, and who just walked a fearful me back downstairs. He didn't know what to do, I'm sure he felt like he wasn't helping at all. But the sense of safety he gave me at the point when I couldn't be strong enough to give my self it, is indescribable. For a moment, those ladies, and this officer, took my harness from me, and helped me bear the weight. Again, I prayed for strength I didn't wish to really have. Strength I needed, but never even wanted.
Throughout the court hearing, I sat and watched without emotion. I pushed back, and pushed back my truck that so badly wanted to pass me, to run over me, and to cause me to completely lose control. And, so somehow, I made it through. I was escorted back to my car by officers who once again didn't know what to say to me, but their presence said everything in the world to me. I drove away, and I still pulled my truck. The truck that was dirty, scratched, far from beautiful…but yet I still pulled it because what else am I supposed to do with it?
The days went on, and I kept tugging, and then I woke up one morning, and I thought, " I'm just done with this. I don't want to pull this anymore. I don't have the strength, and I simply just can't. I need to get away." So, I did. C went to spend time with his grandparents, and I booked a hotel room. And, I went to dinner and movie with a dear friend. A person who I've known forever, but has re-entered my life because we are fighting the same demons. We are pulling the same trucks, and we both have strength we never wanted to have. After the movie, we sat FOREVER, and talked. And upon returning to my room that night, one portion of the conversation kept replaying in my mind, (I'm paraphrasing), "sometimes we have situations that cause us to become stronger, but they result in strength we wished we didn't have to have. Lessons we wished we didn't have to learn." And, in that moment, and the many hours thereafter, it dawned on me that it's okay to not want to have this strength. To not want to pull this dirty, scratched up, heavy truck anymore. That wanting to shed myself of the bad memories, the front door, the doorbell, even my own phone with the record of the 20 something missed calls I had between 12:30 am and 12:40 am on the night of June 14th, wasn't betraying J. Buying a beautiful new house and wishing my life could return to "normal," wasn't betraying him. Retreating upstairs, and leaving every ounce of my own personal dignity on the bottom floor of the courthouse, was okay. That in this moment, I don't have to want to posses the strength I've been given. I may not even appreciate it fully. To want to give it all back for a simple hug. To want to be able to look at piece of grass in the park without horrible images flooding my mind. To want to even have the numerous scratches on the walls of my new home that were so frequently caused by his duty gear. Are all simply okay.
All of you say you are "in awe of my strength." My strength isn't a choice. It isn't something I'm currently in awe of. It's something I'm forced to have, or maybe I'm choosing to have it. I've yet to work through that aspect in my own mind. What I do know as I sit on a hotel bed in my pjs, and escape the world on my "me" vacation, is that I can't trade in my truck for a lighter model yet. That, sadly, it's not time to fully unload it…that I have to keep my harness on, keep tugging, and that sometimes, I have to allow others to wear that harness for awhile. That maybe I can repair a few scratches in the faded paint color, I can unload a few items…but that my battle is far from over, and that this truck and I are forever harnessed together. I'll never be able to leave it behind because it is a symbol of my fate. The path I'm chosen to have, and leaving it would be abandoning J's memory. It's paradoxical, it bogs me down but it is also the means by which I will become a better person. The days of my world being rocked, are still looming ahead of me. I'm more prepared than 4 months ago, but I'm scared of the strength I'm going to be called upon to have in the future. Eventually, I know I'm going to be a better person because of it. But, until this happens, I'll wear my tiara, leopard print rain boots, Wonder Woman costume, numerous other clothing items, and my harness. And, I'll just keep pulling and trying to share my load when it becomes too much to bear. And to learn to become okay with not wanting the strength I possess, but eventually learning how to utilize it into making me a better person. Until, then, I'll exist in my new house..and I'll just keep pulling.

Twitter responds to Fox host calling out Trump
GOP Sen. Jeff Flake says "resentment is a not a governing philosophy" and that times are odd for true conservatives in U.S. politics. Flake announced Tuesday he would not seek re-election during a speech clearly directed at President Trump. (Oct. 24) AP
Fox News analyst Neil Cavuto didn't pull any punches when talking about President Donald Trump on his latest segment of "Common Sense" on Tuesday.
Cavuto took issue with Trump's latest beefs with Lavar Ball about not giving the president credit for rescuing his son and two other basketball players from China and Sen. Jeff Flake's comments regarding the Republican party's future if they continue to back Trump.

Additive oxidative water treatment methods for elimination of endocrin disrupting chemicals
University of Szeged
environmental sciences
Doctoral School of Environmental Sciences
Thesis supervisor:
Tünde Alapi
Location of studies (in Hungarian): SZTE Szervetlen és Analitikai Kémiai Tanszék
Abbreviation of location of studies: SZTE
Description of the research topic:
Due to the low biodegradability, some of the endocrin disrupting chemicals appeared in the waters, including treated and drinking waters. Moreover, many of these compounds are supposed or proven carcinogens, mutagens or endocrine disruptor. Biological water treatment method is generally not effective to eliminate these compounds. The presence of emerging biological active, persistent trace pollutants in both drinking water and aquatic ecosystem represent a great challenge for conventional water treatment methods. Even thou they have very low concentration this can be one of the most important problems of the society in the next decades. Consequently, efforts must be made to develop water treatment techniques, as well as to build tertiary water treatment units, which can be based on the Advanced Oxidation Processes. The aime of this research topic is the optimization of various Advanced Oxidation Processis (such as ozonation, UV and VUV photolysis and heterogeneous photocatalysis) and their combinations for elimination of these trace pollutants including determination of intermediates and mechanism of transformation.

Discussion in 'Off Topic Forum' started by pc747, Dec 6, 2016.
I've tried car wax and even sealant on the glass of my phone. Both worked great, but of course wear off over a matter of days.
As much as a clean freak I am with my cars, it certainly is a losing battle when it comes to my devices because it just gets so much more interaction.
I got a $10 Amazon GC, I may try this stuff out.
Why? Wax was never intended for glass.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
I just I ordered some an hour ago.. More so for my touch screen on my car that gets so fingerprinted up I can't see it in the sun... But I bet it will be good for both. It should come on Friday.. Ask me by Sunday, I will have tried it out. I paid 13.95 on Amazon prime with 2 microfiber cloths
Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
Not sure if it's really wax. When I was a kid there was a product called glass wax that you put on the windows. Let it dry and rubbed it off. It was great.. If this is half as good, it will be awesome on the phones. I have a glass screen cover, I wonder if it will be as good on that..
Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
Ask on Sunday? Was hoping that you'd post a review all on your own.
I got some lens cleaner with my prescription glasses, the poly lenses come out super slick vs. other stuff, like Windex, dedicated screen cleaners and such.
I will post a review..I use eyeglass spray too, but I'm hoping the glass wax will repel fingerprints too and be a superior product. Also I ruined the dashboard of my previous truck spraying a tiny bit of Windex toward the glass covering my speedometer. The Windex drops got thru in places and looked like chicken pox on sunny days and to clean it you'd have to drop the dash. So something thicker is what I wanted for the touch screen primarily. I just don't want to forget where to post so you'll see it because I am subscribed to so many threads. But if you follow me, you will be notified anyway wherever I post...

Should Obama lift the ban on Cuba? Should US citizens once again be allowed to visit the communist nation? "On January 1 1959, Cuba went from a dictatorship palatable to the United States in Fulgencio Batista to one that has been a nagging thorn in every president's side since Eisenhower in Fidel Castro."
Now is an opportunity to change policy towards Cuba. Is the US ready?
When Obama reached out yesterday to congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen (and finally got her on the phone after she hung up on him, twice) She asked Obama to work with Bob Menendez and Albio Sire to discuss Cuba policy.
There is hope that change is on the horizon.

I think the US should lift the ban on Cuba, now. The time is right.

Susanna and I (Miho) are in Team CURE, and we had our first Google hangout meeting today with Josh, Galen and Andrew – it was great to finally talk with them after a bunch of email exchange!
CURE works on criminal justice system from the perspective of human rights – and for this CoDesign class, they would like to work on the issue around sexual offenders who are highly marginalized community.
Josh, Galen and Andrew have been very helpful providing Susanna and me a lot of article and other medias – because it is such a new topic for both of us – and we began to have some ideas of projects. All of the ideas cover either/both of two main things.
1. Legal definitions of sexual offenders include a very large spectrum of people – from those who did public urination to those who committed serious rapes – and they will be all put in Registry and usually cannot get out of it.
2. How the Registry affects very the sexual offenders's lives after they are released from the prison (restriction on where to live, where to be, activities, etc.) which is very different from any kinds of restrictions on other serious criminals
We are gearing towards creating an interactive multimedia that increase the general awareness of people on these two points above. The keywords for us are map, personal stories and statistics. More detailed information would come later. 🙂
We've had a very dense (and very fun) talk today, and Susanna and I are now digesting the contents while brainstorming some ideas for DiscoTech workshop. Some ideas we have are
1. Mapping where sexual offenders can't live/have other restrictions in Boston (with colored pencils etc.)
2. Asking people what alternative laws to be made, and compare the results to the currents ones
3. Illustraton Charrete of laws
4. Question generations for storytelling
5. Roleplay (testify as a sexual offender) and compare with the actual testimonies
6. Reaction recording while people watch videos related
7. Some sort of discussion generating workshop: "can you list what offences will land you on the registry?" "what do you think the restrictions are on offenders?" "what do you think the consequences are of being on the registry?"
and more! These ideas above are mostly what we brainstormed before having the hangout meeting, so later this week, we will have a more detailed/polished workshop idea for DiscoTech.

The Mesolithic Period was among the three specific periods of Stone Age. In the archaeology of the Old World, Mesolithic Period was the period between of Upper Paleolithic and the Neolithic. When the last era of glaciers finally came to an end, the Earth warmed up, people loved this weather and began the period of Mesolithic. Another term for "Mesolithic Period" was Epipaleolithic.
The word "Mesolithic" was the creation of an archaeologist John Lubbuck. The term consists of two compounds "Mesos" meaning middle and "Litho" meaning stone. The most remarkable difference between Paleolithic and Mesolithic was the sophistication of the weapons. Mesolithic people favored to stay in fixed places. They developed agriculture and started to domesticate the animals like goats, sheep, pigs, and cattle. These animals were the certain sources of milk, meat, skin, and wools. And then came the creation of drawing ploughs and carts which helped human a lot in labouring.
Agriculture Development in Mesolithic Period
Although Mesolithic people used new agricultural methods, they still didn't give up their nomadic lifestyles. For example, one famous method was the "swidden". This swidden method was the process when the men harvested their crops and burned the remnants to drive off the insects. The ash was to nourish the land so it would promise a fruitful harvest. But as time went by, the land lost its nutrients and crops were no longer fruitful. When this time finally came, Mesolithic would abandon this plot of land and found another. It might take several years for a plot of land to revive.
This period experienced not only the new agricultural method but also the techniques of domesticating animals. People of this time started to raise and domesticate animals. They became the main source of meat, skin, and milk. So without hunting and risking life with dangerous animals, life was more secure with controllable supply of food.
Human Survival
Some people now see the invention of agriculture in Mesolithic was a threat to people of that time. Because if people chose to grow crops, they would have to encounter the incredible power of nature. Other believed that this new agricultural invention was just temporary and the innovations of this time would trigger the new Neolithic period.
The Mesolithic culture evolved in many ways. For example, they no longer lived in small tents. Rather, they built bigger house. But it seemed that those houses were not strong enough to win the power of harsh weather.
With the development of agriculture, the Mesolithic people continued to invent and improve their weapons. Most of the Mesolithic artifacts were found in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Indeed, the stone tools helped the agriculture life a lot. Especially the plough which had the greatest effect at that time. When they figured out that animals could draw the ploughs, it reduced a great amount of human labor.

Fair System? A Healthwatch ERY Report.
"I have the right to access treatment and register with a GP practice," says Healthwatch East Riding of Yorkshire, speaking on behalf of homeless people.
'Fair System?' reports on Healthwatch ERY's own research into whether it is easy for people with no address and no identification to access NHS primary care services in East Yorkshire. A new 'registration rights card' has been introduced to empower rough sleepers to access health care, and to remind local GPs of the national guidelines.
Matthew Fawcett, Healthwatch East Riding of Yorkshire Manager, and Chris Mills, Community Outreach Officer, explain the research and outline the recommendations.

Ever since its creation in the late 1890s, basketball has become one of the most popular sports in the United States. Nowadays, you can find basketball courts in thousands of playgrounds, schools, and parks around the whole country.
Playing basketball has numerous physical and psychological health benefits. It helps children develop social skills, while also helping them stay fit and in-shape. Aside from that, it's just a great way to have fun and let out some energy!
Although it has become one of America's favorite past times, some neighborhoods don't allow homes to have permanent or in-ground hoops.
For these cases, having a portable basketball hoop is a great solution that will help you and your family enjoy the benefits of basketball while still abiding by the rules. Portable basketball systems can be used indoors and outdoors, on grass or a hard surface, as long as it's flat and level.
There are dozens of brands and hundreds of models to choose from, so finding the best portable basketball hoop for your house is not always straightforward.
For starters, you have to figure out what features you need to have while still sticking to your budget. Also, consider who will be using the portable basketball hoop, because that will dictate features such as height adjustability, backboard material, and rim type.
Because of this, we've put together an article that will tell you everything you need to know about portable basketball hoops. This includes what features you should look out for, the different materials they are made of, and much more.
Basketball is a relatively new sport, and one of the few that can be precisely traced back to its origins. Traditionally, it has always been limited to parks and playgrounds. However, thanks to the development of portable basketball hoops, you can now set up your own court at home.
As the name indicates, portable basketball hoops are stand-alone units that consist of a backboard and rim, which are attached to a support pole and a base.
This allows families to enjoy the benefits of playing basketball without having to drive to a park or public court.
The biggest benefit of owning a portable hoop is that you can conveniently take it apart, pack it, and take it with you when you are moving homes.
Most portable basketball hoops also come equipped with wheels for easy transportation, minimizing the need for any heavy lifting when the hoop is assembled.
Keep in mind that most portable hoops will require tools and a decent amount of assembly, so you will need to wear your DIYer hat after you purchase one.
Owning a portable hoop can help encourage your household membesr to do more exercise, especially children. Basketball appeals to all age groups and genres, so having a hoop right at home can help your kids stay in shape.
There are two main types of basketball hoops you can purchase, and they both offer different benefits and advantages They can be divided into two major categories: in-ground basketball hoops and portable basketball hoops.
As we explained in the previous section, portable hoops are stand-alone units that can be moved and placed in driveways and yards. They come in an array of backboard sizes and materials, but what sets them apart is the fact they can be moved, stored, and transported.
Most portable hoops consist of four main elements: the backboard, a rim, a support pole, and a base. The backboard and rim are attached and supported by the pole. The pole sits on the base, which is usually filled with sand or water to maintain stability.
Thanks to the portability these hoops offer, families can now enjoy the many benefits of basketball even if they are not close to a public park or playground.
Since it's not permanent, you don't need to get a construction permit of any sort for the portable hoop. You'll have some assembling to do, but once setup, you can simply wheel your hoop around and fill up its base for a safe and stable playing court.
Having a portable hoop with a single ball can keep a decent number of children busy for hours. They are perfect for parents who move from city to city regularly, or who have more than one child to entertain.
Like all things, portable basketball hoops also have certain disadvantages and setbacks. The first and most common concern is the durability of the rim or the backboard.
Although they are built with stability and safety in mind, portable hoops are not attached to the ground. This means that a heavy windstorm can cause them to topple over, which in turn can damage the backboard and rim beyond repair.
Mobility is a key part of a portable hoop, but certain models are harder to place and move than others. This basically boils down to finding a model that has functional wheels that help you move the hoop around at will.
Portable hoops almost always have smaller backboard than in-ground models. At the same time, the material of the backboard will influence its size. Smaller backboards are made of plastic, while larger boards are usually made of acrylic or tempered glass.
The last thing you have to keep in mind is that low and mid-range portable hoops are not regarded as being the best for dynamic or explosive players.
This is due to a combination of a poor-performing backboards and stability concerns for players who want to practice dunking drills.
On the other hand, in-ground basketball hoops are permanent fixtures that require you dig a hole and fit the support pole with concrete. They are the most traditional forms of basketball hoop available, but they can't be stored or moved at all.
The main characteristic of in-ground hoops is that they are permanent additions to your home. This can become a major problem for those who rent, not to mention homeowners that need to seek additional construction permits for installation.
There's no denying that in-ground hoops give a sense of familiarity, basically the same as playing in an actual gym or playground.
However, most of the time they are used in driveways or require you build a specific area for them, which can be time-consuming and expensive.
After considering the added construction and permits costs, it's no surprise that in-ground hoops tend to be significantly more expensive than their portable counterparts.
In-ground hoops are also less likely to suffer damage as they will not topple over during windy days or in case someone hangs from them.
Moreover, these hoops often boast of bigger backboards and sturdier rims, which give them a smoother feel for layups and bank shots.
Lastly, permanent hoops tend to last longer than portable hoops and suffer less damage when exposed to inclement weather conditions.
There is no question that portable basketball hoops are the best choice for active families who are likely to move houses. But, making the right purchase goes beyond mobility.
In order to get the best movable hoop for your home, you have to consider all its features and characteristics.
Before making a choice, keep in mind the area you'll be using your portable system in, who will be using it, and what backboard type serves your purposes best. As for safety, you should also consider the base size and capacity, as well as support pole design for maximum stability.
If you have a sports area inside of your house you should purchase an indoor portable basketball hoop. Indoor hoops are often better quality and feature either acrylic or tempered glass backboards. They are more suitable for serious players who want to develop their skills.
If you plan to set up a court on your driveway or side of your house, a portable outdoor basketball hoop would be a better choice. Although they are usually not as fancy, outdoor hoops are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and usually last longer.
If you move houses a lot and you're not sure where you'll be in the next few years, then you may want to choose a portable hoop that can be used for both indoor and outdoor purposes.
Choosing the right rim will improve the rebound rate and the overall sturdiness of the hoop itself. They can be categorized into three types, each one with its own set of benefits and disadvantages.
The most common type found today is the standard rim. This basic rim design has been around for decades, and is not equipped with compression spring technology. This means that if it's dunked on, it will eventually break or bend beyond repair.
Standard rims tend to be the most affordable type so if you're not going to be dunking or spending much money, they may be a good fit for you.
If you are looking for a court that has a more professional feel to it, you may want to think about getting an exposed breakaway rim.
Breakaway rims feature a spring-loaded mechanism that is suitable for light dunking.
Having an exposed rim gives a nicer feel when shooting and helps improve the rebound effect.
These are both great benefits, especially for competitive teenagers trying to sharpen their game.
If you are looking for a rim that mimics professional standards, then you need to select an enclosed breakaway rim. These rims are designed with heavy dunking in mind, and feature a fortified spring mechanism that prevents any bending, warping, or breaking.
Besides featuring a stronger build, the springs are housed in a metal compartment, protecting the mechanism and extending the rim's usable lifespan.
Backboards are another key factor to consider when selecting the right backboard. The two main questions you need to ask yourself are about size and materials.
There are different backboard sizes you can choose from, but it all comes down to the skill level of the player using the portable hoop. Having a small backboard makes bank shots and layups almost impossible, while bigger boards can help youngsters develop their skills faster.
The smallest size available for a residential portable basketball hoop is 44-inches. Professional basketball backboards are 72-inches wide, but the biggest backboard found on a portable basketball system is around 60-inches.
If you want to have a good basketball experience without sacrificing space, a backboard in the mid 50-inch range would be a good fit for you. These are compact enough to be transported easily and can mimic the feel of a regulation hoop to practice layups and bank shots.
Keep in mind that sizes vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but all of them fall between the 44 and 72-inch threshold.
The cheapest and most common types of portable hoops found are equipped with polycarbonate backboards. Although they are very durable, this particular material completely kills the rebound effect, which means it's not suitable for hardcore players.
Polycarbonate portable basketball hoops don't have the best performance because the ball loses momentum when it bounces off the backboard. Although they make a good choice for teaching basics, skilled players will much prefer acrylic or tempered glass backboards instead.
Acrylic can be considered a mid-tier material because it's not as expensive as tempered glass, but performs way better than polycarbonate backboards. Acrylic portable basketball hoops are great for active families with players of different levels.
Although they are not as durable as polycarbonate, acrylic hoops are still sturdy enough to last for years. They tend to give great value for money and work well in any type of weather. The rebound effect is much better than polycarbonate but not as good as with tempered glass.
Tempered glass portable basketball hoops are the most expensive type, but for very good reasons. Tempered glass offers an unparalleled performance, mimicking the rebound effect and overall feel of professional-grade backboards to the tee.
The main issue with this type of backboard is that they are susceptible to shattering. They make great additions to indoor areas where strong winds are not a problem, but you need to be careful if you live in a windy area or with players hanging on the rim.
The support pole is essential to the safety level and functionality of the portable basketball hoop. These mechanisms are responsible for holding up the hoop itself. Higher-end designs also add stability and increase the performance of the entire hoop.
Support pole designs can be divided into three types:
One-piece support pole designs are the most stable, and are not usually found in portable hoops. This design is often found in high-end in-ground models because they are sturdy, prevent excessive shaking, and are structurally sound.
Stability is a key feature for portable basketball hoops, and two-piece support pole designs give them a substantial amount of stability.
Although they may be a bit more expensive, two-piece support pole hoops are by far the safest option. This is especially true with modern hoops that have adjustable heights. In these cases, having a stable structure adds an additional level of security.
The most common type of support pole is the three-piece design. These type of support poles use a three-piece mechanism to keep the hoop elevated. That being said, three-piece portable hoops are not as stable as in-ground models, which can be a nuisance for high-level players.
The base size and capacity of your portable hoop will depend on how heavy the backboard is. Portable hoops have hollow bases which you can then fill up with sand or water. The weight keeps the hoop stable and prevents it from tipping over.
The size and capacity of the base will also dictate the hoop's stability. Cheaper hoops that have a small, light backboard tend to have smaller base capacities, somewhere around 27 gallons.
Acrylic backboards are heavier, and they tend to have bases of anywhere between 35 and 40 gallons. Besides preventing tipping, these bases also give them a decent amount of stability.
The largest bases are by far those found on tempered glass portable hoops. These usually go up to 50+ gallons, which makes them extremely stable. This also reduces the chance of tipping over even during strong windstorms.
Purchasing the right portable hoop means finding a model that suits all of your family members. That is easier said than done, especially if you have children with big age differences. Catering a young child and a growing teenager with one hoop can be challenging.
In order to address this issue, portable hoop manufacturers have created adjustable models that can be elevated from around 7.5' to up to 10'.
There are two common mechanisms found for adjusting the height of your portable hoop. Telescoping mechanisms allow you to adjust the height of the hoop in 6-inch increments and are the most basic and affordable design on the market.
The second mechanism often found in higher-end portable hoops is through a jackscrew, pneumatic, or hydraulic element. These are often referred to as "infinity" settings because they allow you to select any height between the max and minimum options.
There are dozens of reputable manufacturers that sell high-quality portable hoops. Some of these include:
Lifetime has been producing durable basketball hoops in both portable and fixed models. The company manufacture both indoor and outdoor equipment, meaning you can rest assured knowing that your Lifetime portable basketball hoop will in fact last you a lifetime.
Spalding is one of the most recognized brands in the game of basketball, mainly for being the official ball and backboard of the NBA. Spalding also manufactures high-quality basketball accessories for residential purposes.
Spalding portable basketball hoops are known for their professional feel and durable design. Although they tend to be a bit more expensive, you will definitely know where the dollar difference went when buying one of their products.
Bison has been providing high-quality sports products since 1985. All its products, including its portable basketball hoops, are known for being safe, innovative, and durable. The company is a premium basketball equipment supplier, and so you can always count on Bison to deliver high-quality products.
The Goaliath portable basketball hoops are sturdy and innovative. The company's well-crafted designs feature steel frames for additional support and durability, while its deep-set center is engineered for maximum balance.
You always have to check for anchoring options when shopping for a portable basketball hoop. All models come equipped with a hollow base, which can then be filled with either sand or water to anchor it down to the ground.
The best way to weigh down portable basketball hoops is to use sand to fill up the base.
Sand is much denser than water, weighing up to 13 pounds per gallon, contrary to water that only weight 8 pounds per gallon.
Unfortunately, portable basketball hoops are known for blowing over during heavy wind storms.
Some users have tried to fasten them down using additional heavy objects, but not only is this ineffective, it can also create additional health hazards and void the warranty.
If you want to anchor your portable hoop with additional support, you can use systems such as the Hoop Anchor. This system consists of two 17-inch anchor screws which are fixed into the ground.
Then, using a combination of three heavy-duty straps, you can fasten the portable hoop to the ground without having to place anything on top of the base.
Finding an adjustable hoop that has the right backboard and rim type will make the world of difference to the players, regardless of their age. That being said, you have to do your homework and understand the different types of hoops before making your final choice.
It doesn't matter if you are looking to help your child sharpen his or her skills or simply want to build a fun environment, adding a portable basketball hoop to your house will be one of the most memorable purchases you could ever make.
If you are still not sure which is the best model for you, check out our portable basketball hoop buyer's guide for more in-depth information!

At about 5:10 yesterday, I got a call from Pops {the M kids Grandpa}. He asked me if I was watching the weather, to which I cheerfully replied that it was just raining--nothing to worry about {I love thunderstorms}! Well, he says, there are tornado warnings south {I think--he used lots of directional words and I'm not overly familiar with the area...or NESW :/ } and you need to take the kids to the basement. I was a little skeptical that we would have a tornado, but who am I to argue with Pops?
I must also include here that the oldest M kid, Jac, is TERRIFIED of strong winds/thunderstorms etc. as well as the basement. So, as I definitely did not want to deal with hysterical children {I had all 5 yesterday} I turned going downstairs into a game and we ended up sorting/folding laundry while we waited.
At this point, I thought of calling Marsh and letting her know that there could be a possibility of tornadoes in our area and she should go down to the basement. While I was on the phone with her, we heard the siren in the middle of town that signaled people to find shelter. So we did in our respective locations.
I came up periodically to check on the weather and didn't notice too much of a difference from a normal thunderstorm. I was back on the phone with Marsh and described the cloud formation that was right above the house. It seemed like there was a definite distinction in the sky: stormy gray and dark angry clouds. Sort of like in the cartoons when there is a dark black cloud hanging over someone. The clouds seemed to be moving quite fast, and in the distance I thought maybe I was seeing a tornado, but wasn't sure because over towards church I could see patches of blue sky and it just didn't look like our area would get a tornado. The siren went off again, and I came back inside from the porch and collected some snacks and things for the kids just in case something did happen.
Around five to six, Pops called me and said that a tornado touched down in the next town over from us--less than a ten minute drive--and so it should be alright for us to leave our hideaway. Whew. The kids had no idea what had gone on and their only complaint was that I didn't give them any of the snacks--other than that, they had fun
This morning at school, both Marsh and Jimmy Dean told me that I had seen a funnel--the beginnings of a tornado. Wow. It was the providence of God that it didn't touch down in our town, especially because the surrounding towns all had sightings/touchdowns.
So, my first experience with tornadoes was....a really cool experience--overall anyway :)
The following link is a recording of the weather on someones cell that lived south of where we were, if you want to watch--I saw the same thing, but much more up close and personal.
{I didn't know how to show just this one clip, so excuse the other videos}

The purpose of this thesis is to identify performance outcome criteria for accelerator programs with university links. Hereby, the study aims to extend the knowledge about important evaluation criteria and influencing factors on performance outcome and to close the gap between incubator and accelerator literature. The objective of the study was to investigate, (1) how participating persons evaluate the performance outcome of the accelerator program, (2) how the evaluation between accelerator and incubator differs and (3) why the evaluation differs.
Frame of references
Literature about science and technology parks, incubators, accelerators and performance evaluation was used to create the theoretical foundation for this thesis. A research gap about the performance outcome evaluation of accelerators was found, due to the newness of the model.
The study followed an inductive approach and was of exploratory nature. A qualitative case study was chosen to investigate an accelerator within a science and technology park environment. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the primary data and the methods of coding and categorizing were used to structure and analyse the data. Due to the inductive approach, literature was used to discuss the findings in the end.
Proposition 1: Accelerator performance outcome is mainly evaluated by subjective criteria: "goal realization", "entrepreneurial motivation" and "entrepreneurial education".
Proposition 2: The performance outcome gets influenced by micro level criteria like "practical experience", "network support", "personal development", "program structure" and "individualization".

ABUJA—The Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, Prof. Umar Danbatta says Nigeria runs the risk of losing the benefits of emerging technologies unless private sector partner with telecommunication operators in bridging data divide.
Prof. Danbatta stated this during his presentation on the topic: Leveraging on ICT for Sustainable Economic Development, on a side line of the 16th Meeting of the Joint Planning Board and National Council on Development Planning, NCDP, in Minna.
He said the total of 37,104 km of fiber network deployment currently is a far cry from national infrastructure needed to bridge data divide in the country.
He explained that the current 21 percent broadband penetration and 90 million teledensity in the country is unacceptable to the Commission as it is working hard to meet the 30 percent broadband penetration target in 2018.
He said: ''Even with success recorded in voice, if it is not replicated in data, we cannot claim to be successful. We have 10 terabytes of fibre ready to be deployed but we cannot deploy this capacity due to the existing infrastructure.
''That is why the Commission is working hard to avoid a repeat of negative effects of data divide in other countries.''

China: Australian CEO sentenced to 13-yrs prison for bribery, embezzlement
usatoday.com on December 7, 2011 reported that an Australian businessman detained in southern China was sentenced Tuesday to 13 years in jail for embezzlement and bribery, Australia's government confirmed. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in an emailed statement that Matthew Ng planned to appeal the sentence, which was handed down by the Guangzhou Intermediate Court at a hearing Tuesday. Consular officials were present for the hearing, it said. Ng is CEO of Et-China, a travel services company reportedly embroiled in a dispute with a local Chinese partner. "We have made clear to Chinese authorities our strong interest in Mr. Ng's case," the Australian government statement said. It said that Prime Minister Julia Gillard had raised Ng's case with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in April and that other Australian officials discussed it several times with their Chinese counterparts.

There are many people in the world working to make sure that they are able to deal with the problem of diabetes. The biggest problem which many will encounter is insulin resistance. This is a problem in which your body will not be able to accept the insulin that you are getting from food. To understand how this develops, it is important to start looking at how it develops. This will help you to be able to avoid the problem in your own life.
Weight gain is one of the biggest problems in which diabetics will be faced with the possibility of this problem occurring. Because diabetes can actually be caused by being obese and the foods that you ate to be that way, it is likely that to continue to be obese will cause you to have even further problems with the disease.
The exercise that you are committing to should be low impact so that you will be able to minimize the stress that you are putting on your feet. Diabetics encounter a lot of problems with their feet which is why it is important to do everything that you can in order to protect them. Using exercises like elliptical machines and water exercises will help in maintaining your body weight while reducing the strain on your body.
You will also be able to maintain your weight by paying better attention to the foods that you are eating. This will maintain your body weight while also decreasing the amount of glucose that you are taking in. Keep in mind that the body will convert starch and carbohydrates into glucose within the body. The more that you consume or convert, the harder it will be for your body to cope with it.
Diets which are high in protein and low in sugars will help in maintaining the presence of healthy digestion. It will also make sure that the insulin levels within the body will be able to normalize for a healthier tomorrow and fewer problems.

More and more everyday people suddenly into 'prepping' for disaster
by J. D. Heyes as republished from NaturalNews. It's not just "fringe" types and end-of-the-world religious prognosticators; more and more "everyday people" are sensing that something is wrong with their country and the world, and are taking steps to prepare for turbulent times.
Yes, technically they are "preppers" in today's lexicon, but they are far from the kind of people that that term engenders. In fact, some of these "newbies" might even be your neighbors.
As reported by Fortune/CNN:
More and more Americans are spending money to get ready for an uncertain future — gathering food, water, tools and skills to help them weather anything from a hurricane to a pandemic.
Contrary to images of deluded or gun-obsessed "lone wolves," many preppers are average consumers reacting to concrete worries, and their way of thinking is spreading, fueling an emerging lifestyle trend. That lifestyle is generating demand for a broad spectrum of products offering survival — or even comfort — when large-scale systems go down.
'It's not just country people anymore'
You can see the diversification of the prepper at many of the latest expos and conferences aimed at peddling goods to this emerging and ever-changing consumer demographic.
"To get a closer look," wrote David Z. Morris for Fortune, "I visited Life Changes, Be Ready!, or LCBR, a new expo that held its second event on the weekend of November 2nd and 3rd, in Lakeland, Fla. [emphasis added]. LCBR gave an immediate sense of one big way that the preparedness crowd isn't marginal at all — economically. The show floor was packed with a dizzying array of small businesses and products that defied stereotypical 'prepper' classification — not just ammunition and crossbows and camping gear, but also seed banks, beehives, financial planning, and acupressure."
Indeed, said many of the expo's vendors and entrepreneurs on the showroom floor, business has been rising.
One of these entrepreneurs, John Egger of Self Reliance Strategies, has been making and selling prepackaged seed banks for about four years. His market is expanding, he says.
"It's definitely picking up. It's not just country people anymore. We really cater to a suburban market … We call it suburban homesteading," he told Morris.
Much of the new gear isn't directed at low-rent folks or cave-dwellers. Items vary in price from $5,600 for a portable solar charging station to $649 for "Stomp Supreme" field medic kits offered by a firm called Doom and Bloom, LLC.
"This is the one recommended for people expecting civil unrest," Morris quoted company officials as saying.
More reporting from Morris:
The diversity and type of products on offer was also remarkable. Egger's seeds, for example, were prominently labelled "Organic" and "Non-GMO" — and so were all the other seeds on sale at the show. Those are distinctions you might not think were important to the same crowd in the market for a crossbow, but according to Egger, "you don't have to explain to people anymore" why eating organic matters.
Prepping: Not a 'fringe' activity anymore
In addition to new high-tech, high-end products, there were also some quirky items. Earthworm farms and beehives were for sale as well, and at least two companies were selling essential oils.
In a back corner of the showroom, Mike Mah – aka No Stress Mike – was offering $30 pain reduction sessions, employing a "Hoy Chi" energy healing technique. His flyers predominately stated that he attended every Tea Park event he possibly could. He manipulated spines of dozens of show patrons who were willing (even as he kept a handgun tucked into his beltline).
There are many things that are driving new crowds to prep shows: the unevenness of a skyrocketing stock market, even as job growth and wages stagnate; uncertainty about the nation's spiraling debt; angst over policies enacted by President Obama; the costs and requirements of Obamacare; and political partisanship.
But there is one common denominator among all: Prepping isn't a "fringe" activity anymore, and failure to be prepared is the worst sin of all.

Yote Howler - Triple Toe Calls Predator Call

- Reviews
Don't look at a howler call like the Yote Howler and think it can make just one traditional coyote howl. Far from it. This call can be used to bark, whine, yelp and yip, too.
Those sounds can pay big dividends when chasing coyotes.
Instincts are the reason. Barks, yips and yelps trigger all kinds of behavioral responses. Some coyotes respond territorially. Others come looking for pups or mates. Still more might respond in a social, pack-like way.
The Triple Toe Calls yote howler is a black walnut coyote howler that is by far the easiest coyote howler on the market to use.
