If you thought your swanky Bose sound dock was fancy, get a load of this. Designed by the Italian concert sound experts at Outline, the system has a transforming case that lets you position the individual speakers in a variety of ways. The speakers run off a 400-watt amp and solid wood bass reflex design which – in English – means they sound great. But that performance is pricey, standard units cost upwards of US$1,300 and a leather option is up for grabs for US$3,000.

Investing in a rising interest rate environment
(page 1 of 2)
After six years of holding interest rates at record low levels, the Federal Reserve recently began a subtle campaign that suggests interest rates will soon be rising. This month, while reiterating its longstanding position to keep short-term interest rates near zero for a "considerable time," the Fed announced two important steps toward beginning the process of raising interest rates: the end of quantitative easing and two new interest rate hiking mechanisms.
Given the Federal Open Market Committee meets twice more this year, once in October and again in December, there is a very real chance that if the economic data regarding employment and inflation continue to show signs of growing strength, the Fed will remove its "considerable time" language from its forward guidance yet this year.
As arbitrary as it may seem, the simple removal of this phrase from future Fed guidance is likely to be interpreted by the markets as the signal for the beginning of the end of ultra-low interest rates.
During the past 33 years of generally falling interest rates, we have enjoyed unusually strong returns from bond funds. Again this year, despite nearly universal predictions to the contrary, one of the top-performing fund categories, with a total return of 13%, has been long-term bonds.
At the risk of being labeled just another "boy who cried wolf," I believe it is time to begin adjusting your investment strategy in anticipation of a rising interest rate environment. While some believe the Fed's economic outlook to be too optimistic, it is forecasting that three years from now short-term rates will be over 3%.
How you prepare for rising rates should depend on where you are relative to your retirement date.
Retirees: Rising rates will be cheered by most retirees and those close to retirement. Higher interest rates will make it easier to generate income in retirement and put less of your accumulated retirement savings at risk.
As short-term rates rise, consider liquidating intermediate- and longer-term bond funds and, in their place, purchasing shorter-term bond funds. Fortunately, for assets held in 401(k) and 403(b) plans, most offer vehicles that are called stable-value or fixed-rate funds. These funds are ideal for your conservative assets in a rising interest rate environment because they currently generate a much higher yield than that of a money market fund with extremely high safety of principal and little or no interest rate risk.
Downshifters (15 years or less from retirement): While news that rates will be rising is likely to lead to a short-term sell-off in stocks, the good news is that rising rates have traditionally been beneficial for stock portfolios at a very critical time for your savings. The key is not to panic in the face of any short-term pullback and, as stock prices invariably rise, periodically harvest gains by gradually taking equity risk off the table and shifting some of your assets to bonds.
Ideally, the "downshifter" wants his or her bonds to earn T-bills + inflation. To accomplish this, you should focus on stable value, TIPS (Treasury inflation-protected securities), and money market funds while rates are rising. For those willing to take additional risk in exchange for higher expected returns, consider adding a small (10%-20%) exposure to higher-yielding bond funds.

Robot Waiters will start serving in a Tokyo Café
Japan is moving forward by employing robots in various areas of life. They have introduced self-governing robots performing various roles in a hospital, nursing homes, and schools. Now, a café in Tokyo has been planning to launch robotic waiters remotely operated by people with physical disabilities.
The humanoid OriHime-D robots will start their services at the Dawn ver. Beta café. The robot is 1.2 meters tall and its weight is 20 kilograms. It carries a camera and a speaker, and stream the footage to the PC or tablet of an operator using the internet.
The pilot run of the café is scheduled for weekdays starting from 26th November to 7th December. Ory Laboratory created the robots and planning to open a permanent café using robot waiters by the year 2020 near to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.
Ory Laboratory also making an addition to OriHime-D by developing a smaller robot and it will be used in telecommunication area in Japan. It will have 600 grams in weight and 21.5 centimeters in height. These robots can move around the offices of at least 70 companies to facilitate employees who are unable to work due to illness or other issues.
The area of elderly care in Japan has increasingly adopted these robots. A number of health-care institutions are taking interest in employing robots in order to help their patients to move. The Japanese Ministry of Economy and Trade & Industry have estimated that the robotic service industry in Japan might reach 4 billion U.S dollars per year by the year 2035.

Winter is approaching again and the issue of icing will be a major headache for many. It is not only a major inconvenience, but also security hazard. Icing makes it impossible to bulge the doors and windows at times. Icing on the driveway or pathway is a potential hazard which might cause an accident at any point of time. This is why it is imperative that you take the issue of icing quite seriously and ensure that de-icing is done at regular intervals or as and when necessary.
De-icing might sound like a tough job, but with the right liquid de-icer the work becomes a breeze. There are common chemical de-icing agents available at affordable rates which will help you with the job.
If you are looking for the cheapest and most effective de-icing agent, the inorganic salts will be the best choice. Inorganic salts are the compounds which contain chlorides in them. Due to the easy availability and low cost associated with it inorganic salts are used most commonly as the de-icing agents. Here is a list of the most commonly used inorganic salts which will allow you to take care of your icing issues –
These salts increase the rate of de-icing and help in faster melting of the ice which has formed. Calcium Chloride supplier or Magnesium Chloride supplier Innovative Surface Solutions can be contacted for the availability of the liquefied versions of these salts. Sodium Chloride is quite readily available or you may even opt for common salt of rock salt. However, do not use inorganic salts in a large quantity on vegetation as it can damage the fertility of the soil and the vegetation as well, unless you are absolutely sure that the type of vegetation will survive in a high saline environment. Though, use of water after de-icing is a good way to reduce the concentration of the salt in the soil and thereby save the vegetation. Rain also does the same job.
Organic salts are perfect for those who are too worried about causing any damage to the environment through use of inorganic salt compounds. Inorganic salts are acetate compounds. Acetates are bio-degradable and will not cause any damage to the environment and can be used without any risk to the vegetation as well. The common salt acetates which are used as de-icing agents are as follows –
The above compounds are also available with many inorganic salt suppliers. However, the cost is pretty high for acetates and thus the use is quite limited. Some of the acetate salts can cost as much as 30 times that of rock salt.
Use of sand, calcianated clay or cinders along with de-icing agents is also common to increase the effectiveness of these agents. However, use of these materials result in leaving of residue after ice is melted which needs further cleaning. Thus, you will have to assess the situation and emergency before you proceed with any one of the aforementioned methods for de-icing.

"I'm recently widowed," she explained, "and I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house." "Not to worry," Peter said, "we'll be happy to sleep in the barn." Nine months later, Peter got a letter from the widow's attorney. He then went up to visit his friend Bob and said, "Bob, do you remember that good-looking widow at the farm we stayed at?"

"We find the defendant Not Guilty of all four counts of bank robbery," stated the foreman.

The man's attorney turns to his client and asks, "So, what do you think about that?" The defendant, with a bewildered look on his face turns to his attorney and says, "I'm real confused here.

It was 6 p.m., and I was about to leave the coin laundry where I was employed. My boss called me over and asked if I would mind dropping off someone's laundry on my way home. "It's for my cousin," she apologized, "who's eight months pregnant and can't get out much anymore." I cheerfully agreed and, driving to the address, knocked at the door. A little girl, the sister-to-be, answered. "Hi, there," I said with a big smile. "Is your mommy home?" Holding up the white bundle of clothes, I explained, "I have a delivery for her." The child's mouth dropped, and her eyes went wide. "Mom!" she shrieked, "come quick! It's the stork!"
Cajun math A Missouri farmer passed away and left 17 mules to his three sons. The instructions left in the will said that the oldest boy was to get one-half, the second oldest one-third, and the youngest one-ninth. The three sons, recognizing the difficulty of dividing 17 mules into these fractions, began to argue. Their uncle heard about the argument, hitched up his mule and drove out to settle the matter. He added his mule to the 17, making 18. The oldest therefore got one-half, or nine, the second oldest got one-third, or six, and the youngest son got one-ninth, or two. Adding up 9, 6 and 2 equals 17. The uncle, having settled the argument, hitched up his mule and drove home. ____________________________________________________ Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Homemade Jigsaw Puzzle Make a personalized homemade jigsaw puzzle by gluing a photograph to a piece of 1/4 inch plywood.

What is diabetes mellitus?
Diabetes mellitus is a collective term for various metabolic disorders. They all have in common that they lead to elevated blood glucose levels.
Diabetes is common.
The risk of becoming ill with diabetes rises in particular with increasing age.
For example, one to two percent of those under 50 years of age are affected by diabetes.
In comparison, more than 20 percent of those over 70 years old already have diabetes.
On the whole, the rate of type 2 diabetes mellitus is rising globally.
Type 1 diabetes is the rarer form of diabetes. Of all people with diabetes, only one in 20 has type 1 diabetes. The proportion of type 2 diabetes is around 90 percent while the remaining five percent comprise rare, special forms of the disease.
In young people, however, the proportions are reversed: type 1 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes among those under 25 years old.
Diabetes mellitus type 1
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease and is caused by the total absence of the hormone insulin. This type of diabetes is therefore also called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
The disease usually already begins during childhood or adolescence, but type 1 diabetes can also develop later in life.
To date, type 1 diabetes cannot be cured yet, but can be treated well with insulin.
However, people with type 1 diabetes must inject insulin for life.
Diabetes mellitus type 2
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that is becoming more and more of a problem worldwide.
In those affected, the body can only insufficiently process carbohydrates such as sugar – resulting in an elevated blood glucose level.
Type 2 diabetes begins gradually and is often discovered very late.
The cause of the disease is a resistance to insulin on the one hand (reduced sensitivity of the body's cells to the blood glucose-lowering hormone insulin), and a lack of insulin ('exhaustion' of the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas) on the other.

Learning Curves
I've been reluctant to investigate Google+. Time is precious and I already feel like there isn't enough of it. I have a tendency to want to know it all and do it all, and unfortunately, I'm learning I can't. However, I've quickly become a fan of Google+ and I'm sure I've only dipped into a very small part of everything it has to offer. I know I have to be patient with the learning curve as I delve into some new tools and think about how I can use them.
To begin with, we have a Google community where we can discuss articles, share our thinking, ask questions, or post resources we've found. That has been powerful this week. All 8 of us are reading the same articles, all 8 of us are commenting, and all 8 of us are learning from each other. What great professional development this is. As opposed to all of us reading common articles and getting together a week or two later to discuss it in person, we've each been able to have access to others' thinking whenever it's been convenient. We just log on to our Google+ community, and everything is right there. I had time to mull over others' responses and had many "aha" moments as well as I considered other points of view.
Tonight we met on Google Hangout. All 8 of us in different parts of Columbus (or Michigan), gathered to discuss our readings and our goals for this class. As we talked, Troy was able to keep notes of our conversation on a shared Google doc that we could all see. In addition, we had the capability to share our screen, have a side bar chat, and watch YouTube videos. If you're feeling silly, there is even an option to add a pirate hat or crown to your face showing on the screen.
This class is giving me lots to think about as a classroom teacher as well as a teacher leader helping other teachers venture into new territories. I'm thinking of ways to use some of these tools with my fourth graders as they read collaboratively or using Google hangouts to invite authors or guest speakers to talk to my classroom. The possibilities are endless!

Game 9 - Red Sox
Red Sox 10, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 1
Record: 5-4
As far back as MLC's inaugural post in April 2003, we've understood and cautiously embraced the Epstein/James high-leverage bullpen construction model. Cautiously embraced in theory, anyway, because the Sox never had the overall depth to make it really work in practice. The model says that the game's final three outs may not always be the most important, and that a manager should be willing to use the best arm(s) available in non-traditional closer situations.
Last night was one of Terry Francona's shining strategic moments as the manager of the Sox, and a repudiation of sorts of the nattering ninnies who decried the new-fangled bullpen thingy when it collapsed under the weight of too many Chad Foxes, Bobby Howrys, and Brandon Lyons back in 2003. The Sox led the Angels 4-1 in the top of the 8th, but found themselves in a tense spot when Brendan Donnelly hit old friend Orlando Cabrera to put runners on the corners with one out and the menace of Vladimir Guerrero digging in at the plate.
Tying run at the plate in the form of the opponent's most dangerous bat, and Francona wasted not a moment in going to the pen to get Jonathan Papelbon. Six pitches later, Guerrero had whiffed to end a mano a mano showdown and Garrett Anderson had lined to left to end the inning. The game was saved in that sequence.
The Sox plated 6 in the bottom of the 8th and Francona lifted Papelbon, saving his most explosive weapon for another day. No save for Paps, which might impact the ego of a more fragile or less team-focused closer. Managers don't often win or lose games, but you could argue that Francona's prudent and decisive deployment of his best bullpen arm weighed heavily in the final tally last night. Even more importantly for the long term, he sent a clear signal to his team that wins are more important than individuals - and Papelbon boosted his skipper by going right along with the decision. It's worth highlighting, by the way, the balls Paps showed in staring down Guerrero and beating the Angels' stud strength-on-strength. I've analyzed this in some detail, and I've come to the conclusion that Papelbon can pitch the baseball.
Tim Wakefield turned in his second sterling outing in as many chances, and was finally rewarded with some offensive support. Wake scattered 5 hits in 7 innings with only 2 walks on his ledger, and only Mike Lowell's wide throw on Maicer Izturis' leadoff grounder in the top of the 8th kept Wake from going deeper into the game.
Papi shook off consecutive strikeouts to start the game to drive in 3 clutch runs on roped liners to right. J.D. Drew continued to endear himself to Sully and Murph, driving in 2 runs on 2 hits and smoothly handling a tough chance on a liner by Casey Kotchman that kicked crazily off Fenway's unique walls. In fact, in what's becoming a mournful and increasingly bitter refrain, the only part of the offense that underperformed was Coco Crisp.
The Sox' centerfielder had real and viable excuses for his struggles in 2006 - he was burdened with high expectations and huge shoes to fill as he replaced the beloved Johnny Damon, and Crisp's early-season broken finger impacted him for the rest of the year. The Nation was unusually patient as Crisp turned in a .702 OPS, more than 100 points below his 2005 mark with the Indians, partly because the rest of the team wasn't very good, and partly because his performance could be written off to the injury. This year, though, that patience has already begun to wane. Crisp's 0-for-5 last night dropped his average to .121 and his OPS to a pitcher-like .353. As bad as that sounds, it looks even worse - the newly bestowed Coco Pops nickname testifies to his inability to drive anything and the overmatched presence he's carried to the plate thus far in 2007. Francona's next miracle: to lift Covelli from the depths of this slump, because the Sox haven't much in the way of options behind him in center.
After last night, though, in Terry We Trust, at least for now.

Madden 18 is best all-around football video game you've ever seen: review
It may not be the most well-written Madden game you will ever play. But it definitely is the best all-around football video game you've ever seen.
In so many ways, Madden 18 is the NFL football video game you've been waiting for: The visuals and gameplay both see incremental improvements that push the to their finest levels ever, and for the first time in the history of the franchise, there's a decent story mode called "Longshot." Smart tweaks make every moment of your Madden experience more accessible and more in line with whatever takes place in the actual NFL, and both the solo and multiplayer action overflows with options.
It's a wildly ambitious package even if its greatest ambition, Longshot, isn't nearly as cool as you want it to be. Longshot is the series' first true foray into the story modes that suddenly proliferate the sports gaming landscape, and it has larger goals than any sporting game story mode before it. It aims to give you a deep and relatable experience that feels unique and unforgettable.
In moments, Longshot does this, telling the hard-luck story of Devin Wade, who charts a unique path to the NFL, via reality show, years after leaving his college football team. Wade is instantly sympathetic, and the potent Frostbite engine makes him and a handful of other characters come to believable life.
Uncharted: Lost Legacy explores new territory, characters: review
When you're playing through one of Wade's high school flashbacks on the field, the experience is terrific, and much of the early portion of Longshot also provides a unique football tutorial, forcing you to read defenses and learn some nuances of NFL playcalling (which you will never use again).
But in too many other moments, it strains the bounds of credibility, and too often the story, despite its several endings, robs the gamer of any agency. There's nothing quite like being ahead, 21-7, against an aging Dan Marino in a 7-on-7 playground game only to have the game cut to a scene in which "the next score wins" for the sake of some dramatic moment.
Longshot can't decide whether it wants you to guide the story or it wants the story to guide you, and that can frustrate, even when the script is passable and interesting. Most of the characters, from Wade to his friend Colt Cruise to an annoying network exec, are obvious archetypes, but the tale is still decent enough.
Make your minutes count.
Despite its flaws, Longshot is fun, and it's a solid initial way to break into Madden 18. You get a strong dose of the graphical improvements that underlay the new experience, and the triumph of Frostbite in this sports game. This graphical prowess translates to standard gameplay, where Madden 18 looks excellent, overflowing with lighting effects and far less of a synthetic look to players. There are more varied body types, too, making the football field come even more alive, and everyone moves about with more fluidity. Best of all, the crowds and stadiums showcase greater details, creating a more convincing experience overall than any previous Madden.
Nintendo New 2DS XL hits all the right notes: review
The on-field action remains standout, if largely the same as it's been in previous years. But the entry points to that action are now drastically improved. Franchise campaign, solid a year ago, sees few upgrades this time around, but it is strong, and you can now start it at any point during the season, with updated rosters. Play Now Live lets you play whatever game is actually taking place in any given week, with the proper rosters, then jump into a season or franchise right there. It's a much-needed feature that all sports games should duplicate.
Meanwhile, Madden Ultimate Team gains further depth, thanks to online cooperative play. If you're into Ultimate Team, you've been waiting for this, and it plays strongly, rounding out a massively deep Madden package.
What developer EA Tiburon does with Madden 18 is impressive, in large part because there finally truly is something for everyone. The single-player gameplay meshes well with the suite of multiplayer modes to yield a terrific all-around package that's loaded with replay value.
Madden 18 isn't perfect in its first try with a deep story mode, but it is still loaded with plenty of fun. Some years, perhaps you can skip Madden.
But this isn't one of them.

The screenshot seen at the top of this post was taken from the new AudioAcrobat.com home page, which could very well now be LIVE — click here to test! This new home page does seem to hint at AudioAcrobat's availability on your favorite smartphone… Coincidence? Not at all.
Perhaps you've even read Pt. I, Pt. II, Pt. III and/or Pt. IV of the New AudioAcrobat Features and Design Series and have already discovered the first four new features to be announced. If so, our hats off to you … and here's New Feature #5!
New Feature #5: Player Themes
We'd be lying if we told you that we've never been recognized by our golden audio and video players. It is this creative branding which has accompanied us and our members on our collective journey through streaming audio and video on the Web since 2004. It is this very same ability for our members to brand their AudioAcrobat players with styles which match their businesses and values which seems paramount in taking our service to the next level.
Enter AudioAcrobat's newest feature, Player Themes. Player Themes are a unique and compelling solution for anyone looking to publish audio or video to the Web –and be noticed! Customize audio players with eight (8) different Button Styles, ten (10) degrees of Button Padding, a wide array of Button Controls and a nearly infinite Color Palette.
Video is where AudioAcrobat's new Player Themes truly excel. Here, the same eight (8) Button Styles are present, along with the ten (10) degrees of Button Padding and nearly infinite color palette; however, when viewing the Button Controls, members will see a new 'Fullscreen' option … which fulfills a BIG feature request for our members. No pun intended.
Additionally, members will find Fade Type and Delay Options as well as the ability to increase your passive income with an embedded Affiliate Link and Custom Branding. These are both VERY exciting components of Player Themes for video and we anticipate that our members will thoroughly enjoy stepping their game up as well when it comes to publishing custom branded video players on the Web.
Is there a feature which you feel could be made easier to use? Is there a feature that isn't present but would make your life easier? Let us know by submitting an email or tweeting us your feature request!

So we knew it would happen sooner or later and the fact we're all gagging for it makes it even more special to hear indirect confirmation that Noel Gallagher is indeed recording a solo album. I guess this also indirect confirms Noel is not going to form a new band. No surprises there eh?
Miles Cane from The Last Shadow Puppets confirmed he'd played a guitar track for Noel's album in an interview with the Independent:
Question - Reading the roll-call of guests on your record felt like leafing through the Christmas issue of Q magazine. There's Noel Gallagher, Super Furry Animal Gruff Rhys, the singer from The Courteneers. You must have one hell of a Rolodex.
Answer - Noel sings on one song, he's only doing harmonies. It's great. We met a couple of times, he asked me to play guitar on his solo record. I played on one track, so he repeated the favour. I'm very honoured.
And if you wondered what Liam was up to, he's in a new band called Beady Eye....

Italian pharmaceutical company, NTC, has granted licence and distribution rights of a portfolio of ophthalmic products to Mundipharma — a pharmaceutical company with a presence in ophthalmology.
Eye treatment
"Partnering selected ophthalmic products of our portfolio and pipeline with a leading company like Mundipharma is very valuable and important to NTC," stated Riccardo Carbucicchio, president and CEO of NTC. "It also represents to us a confirmation about the value of the development efforts we are putting in the ophthalmic space."
NTC's portfolio of ophthalmic products address unmet medical needs in the treatment of several diseases, such as blepharitis, dry eye, allergy and glaucoma in the Middle East and Africa region.
"The NTC portfolio of products complements our current ophthalmology franchise very well and this deal marks an important step in our strategy to build a diversified portfolio and leverage on our strong market leadership in the Middle East & Africa Region," commented Dr Ashraf Allam, vice president of Mundipharma Middle East, Turkey & Africa Region. "This is a great result for patients in the region, who will benefit from access to NTC's products with higher therapeutic value."
