Those two foes, Macromedia and Adobe, are engaged in battle once more with new releases of their SWF (Shockwave Flash) authoring applications.
Macromedia's SWF has become the web-standard file format for vector-based, interactive multimedia content. There have been other contenders in the interactive animation game, such as Swish and Corel R.A.V.E., and Adobe has developed quite a credible alternative in LiveMotion.
In version 1, LiveMotion offered new users and designers a means of exploring "web animation" without having to take on the steep learning curve of Flash. While it offered an intuitive time-based interface to streamline animation production, the absence of any scripting ability meant it only offered the bare minimum of interactivity.
In Flash 5 Macromedia lifted its game by completely rebuilding its scripting capabilities and turning it into a serious media-rich application developer's tool. However it retained its sad old clunky interface.
So, in this latest round, they've both done as expected: LiveMotion 2 is now fully interactive, with extensive scripting ability; and Flash 6 (now called Flash MX) sports an elegant, new interface. But (of course) there's more.
LiveMotion's new scripting is powerful, and the script editor has a friendly (though not quite 100% accurate) syntax-helper and composition hierarchy for easy assembly. The methodology will take some getting used to for Flash users, but I think the creation of buttons, object methods and keyframe scripting is elegant and logical.
LiveMotion's superior timeline interface can be a major draw card to new users, but the production benefits gained here are quickly lost elsewhere. The Composition Window, the main drawing area and preview of your vector-based artwork is (gasp) pixel-based. And worse, zooming doesn't recalculate the pixels. Consequently, accuracy in placing or drawing objects is troublesome, especially coupled with the highly unpredictable behaviour of number entries in dialogue boxes such as the Transform Palette.
Also LiveMotion is very resource-intensive, and unless you are running the latest OS on a high-spec machine it can be sluggish. Exporting SWF can also be very slow, in some cases more akin to rendering a 3D animation.
Another word of caution in LiveMotion: just because you can doesn't mean you should. LiveMotion can seduce you into all manner of textures, patterns and 3D effects, but, as with "Object Layers", the output is bitmap. Their unchecked use will add kilobytes to your SWF waistline, and file-size obesity is not uncommon in LiveMotion.
Flash MX, meanwhile, finally addresses some of Flash's interface problems. The most welcome changes are the ability to at last create collapsible groups of layers in the timeline, and being able to split objects and text across layers with one click. Also timely is the introduction of a properties palette – a context-sensitive dialogue that avoids using multiple palettes to change an object's or frame's parameters.
Macromedia's big news is that Flash now supports video, which can simply be dropped on to the Stage and controlled within Flash, with interactivity. The Sorenson-Spark-based codec compresses remarkably efficiently.
Generator has been abandoned as Flash can now use scripting to dynamically add image files at runtime, as it does with text. This will please web designers who have run up against hosting companies' reluctance to to deploy Generator.
More interactivity with the server appears to be a goal with MX, as rumours of "ColdFusion MX" seem to suggest. Flash seems to be becoming less about browsing and more about interacting. As well as delivering content such as audio and video, and applications, with comprehensive code support, Flash MX seems to be set up to embrace multiple platforms and devices, remote servers, shared webcams and microphones for teleconferencing, and supplying full accessibility options for the disabled.
The major bug with Flash MX seems to be not in the application but in the player. The streaming of audio over a slow connection cannot be skipped (for example, if you move to another part of the movie, using a "skip intro" or "disable sound" button) and it continues to hog bandwidth in the background, thus disabling the smooth running of the rest of the file. Macromedia was working on a patch for the player as this was being written, but early adopters may well be unaware why their Flash experience is less than satisfactory.
A quick look at both these releases suggests Adobe is now in the game and, once issues such as the Composition Window have been sorted, LiveMotion will be a very useful product for intuitive animation design and integration with Adobe's other apps. Flash, however, must still be the only application for serious SWF site development.
Adobe LiveMotion 2 costs $302.63 including GST plus $13 shipping from Australia. Macromedia Flash MX costs $1261.73 ex GST.

Sky Blues boss says City have a great opportunity to capitalise on win over Red Devils
Coventry City boss Mark Robins expressed his delight after the Sky Blues' 3-1 home win over Crawley Town.
A double from David McGoldrick after John Fleck's early opener for City lifts the club to 19th place in the League One table after two consecutive league wins and just two defeats in their last eight.
McGoldrick's brace makes it 11 goals in 15 appearances for the Sky Blues and Robins said that his side are now halfway to they target points total in a week that sees them play back-to-back home games.
"It's that kind of result that makes people look and think that Coventry City have turned a corner but we can't rest on our laurels," Robins said.
I think the lads have put a great shift in and there's been some really good quality in there as well tonight. You could name every player tonight for their contribution. Cyrus Christie looked awesome at times, he was powerful and did really well down that right hand side and Carl Baker is starting to come out of that patch where we spoke about him trying too hard.
"Let's not forget that's a decent side that Crawley have put together. They have a bright and experienced front four and we said this would be a difficult run of games but our confidence is getting better, it's starting to build and we've lasted the 90 minutes better than we have done recently.
"I thought we dealt with everything fine, I didn't rwally feel as though we were under any real pressure and I thought their goal was slightly fortunate as William Edjenguele took a smack in the face just before they scored.
"We've talked about change though and how we are going to get through this period the club has been going through and we've got an opportunity on Saturday that we don't want to let pass us by.
"Scunthorpe have had a good win away at Walsall and we'll look forward to welcoming them on Saturday and getting a good game."

El Paredon, Guatemala
Reviewed by remote designer Rob Lewis who is currently documenting his travels through Central America on our behalf.
Where to stay -
For the last month I have been staying at The Driftwood Surfer hostel in El Paredon, Guatemala. It is regarded as the best hostel on the beach in Guatemala owned by three of the most welcoming gentlemen you will ever meet.
It has fantastic surfing opportunities on a mostly untouched black sandy beach which stretches for over 16km. They have a volleyball court on the beach with games played daily just before sunset and a swimming pool with a swim-up bar. Plenty of animals run around including two lovable dogs, a friendly cat and an adorable micropig which roams the restaurant/bar area.
Where to work -
The town the hostel is in is very small town and in the middle of nowhere so limited of places to work. I worked in the hostel in the upstairs restaurant/bar area which has plenty of seating and power points and of course easy access to smoothies/pepsi/beer depending on what time of day it was. The pool table offers a fantastic chance to take a break from work every hour.
Best place for WIFI -
The bad news for nomads is the lack of WiFi with the hostel offering just one communal laptop which is connected to the internet. They say this is because they want to keep the hostel 'social' so not everyone is staring at their phones - which works very well - but the reality is the hostel only gets a limited amount of gigabyte's a month so they mainly keep this for business use.
There are two ways around this. There is a splendid pizza restaurant 100 yards up the road which is part of a hotel which has WiFi. Or what I did was get a cheap Guatemalan sim card and tether through that. It's not ideal but does the trick. Unfortunately, backing up work/photos to a cloud is not recommended as this will eat all your data. You will have to wait to get back to a town or city with reliable wifi for this.
What was worked on -
I finished off a project is was already working on while I was here which was a casino redesign.
I also helped the hostel tidy up their website including uploading new images and also re-designed their restaurant menus. This offered an alternative to purely bar work.
On the photography side I was a wedding photographer for a spontaneous wedding held on the beach outside of Driftwood. I also done a photoshoot for Choza Chula, a local charity charity selling a range of clothing and materials raising money for local education.
Where to eat / drink -
Driftwood offers great food throughout the day and everyday ending with a family meal at seven which would be a themed all-you-can-eat buffet. All the food is cooked on site as one of the owners, Rusty, is a keen chef so offered a selection of food you would normally not be able to find available in this part of the world.
I mentioned before there is a pizza restaurant next door which is a fantastic alternative albeit more expensive then the buffet at Driftwood. And for those on a more stricter budget their is a local restaurant further up the road called Yolo's which you can drop by and eat a meal for 20Q (£2.20).
Chilling out -
Driftwood offers a decent swimming pool area with plenty of hammocks and sun loungers as well as a swim-up bar to enjoy a cold beer during the day.
They have a pagoda built on the beach with hammocks and an upstairs area with large beanbags for a daytime snooze. Don't forget the vast beach area to lay a towel down but beware the black sand gets scorching hot in the day. Because of this, it's entertaining to watch the surfers sprinting down to the sea and back up again.

Carennac is a famously picturesque
Quercynois village of stone houses with brown-tiled
roofs, clustered in narrow lanes around the ancient fortified Cluniac priory and chateau. The priory was founded
in the 10th century.
The village is highly photogenic and excellent for a leisured stroll while admiring the architecture of the houses and the imposing château building. Go through the stone archway to find the entrance to the 16th century château des Doyens with its corner towers and a gallery constructed above the gothic chapels of the church. The chateau houses the 'Espace Patrimoine', a permanent exhibition covering the art and history of the valley of the Dordogne.
Adjoining the chateau is the church of St Pierre; its porch decorated with a 12th century sculpture similar to that of the abbey of Beaulieu, and of Moissac, Collonges-la-Rouge and Cahors. The cloisters are peaceful and worth visiting - the highlight is the adjoining chapter house with its remarkable 15th century stone carving of the entombment of Christ.
Fenelon, later famous as bishop of Cambrai and the author of Télémaque, was prior of Carennac in 1681 and lived there for many years.
Certain houses date from the 16th century. Of the old ramparts only one fortified gateway, the buildings, the chateau and the tower of the priory remain today.
Location: On the left bank of the Dordogne, not far from the village of Loubressac.

Fireworks on the 4th of July are expected. July 3rd however, is the one day of summer that everyone is trying to either get into the city to enjoy the holiday festivities OR escape the city to anywhere that is quiet and lacking tourists. I was driving to Brooklyn for meetings. Roads were closed in the city to prepare for the July 4th festivities—the tunnel to get from Manhattan to Brooklyn had a vehicle broken down—there was construction all over Brooklyn congesting everything—I left two hours before my first meeting as I didn't want to be late. I arrived 30 minutes overdue. Two and a half hours to go 13 miles. Urban living at it's finest!
Driving back to my apartment was roughly the same scene. When I finally drove into the parking garage, I wanted to drop to my knees and kiss the ground. However, it is New York, so I settled for a fist pump and shouting "YES" as I exited my vehicle.
As I walked toward the elevator lobby, I noticed a large number of people waiting for the elevators. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed 3 firemen walking into the lobby. My first thought was that someone tripped the fire alarm as a practical joke. I heard a doorman tell a resident that as soon as the fire department gave the "all clear", they could bring the elevators down and all would be back to normal. The firemen disappeared into the stairwell. Three more firemen came into the lobby and disappeared into the stairwell as well. After about 20 minutes, three police officers arrived with 2 paramedics. This was not good.
Did I mention that when the fire alarms go off in New York, it is city law that all ventilation systems shut down? You got it, no air conditioning in July. That always makes for great attitudes amongst crowds of irritated, impatient people. Two hours had passed. At last, one of the doormen announced they were sending down the elevators. Yes!
Suddenly, I heard a noise that didn't fit. It was the sound of a water fountain inside the building. The only problem with that is there are no fountains in the building. As I looked up, I saw six elevators with walls of water coming from the ceiling of each and flowing into the lobby. It was a scene that caused me to drop my jaw in stunned silence. Elevators are operated with electricity the last time I checked—water and electricity can't stand each other. Again, not good.
I no sooner focused on the elevator and the massive amounts of water coming from them, when the three police officers emerged back into the lobby. They were walking with a girl approximately in her late 20s—she was sporting cuffs. Apparently, the fire sprinklers in her apartment were screaming at her and she had to quiet them, so she did what anyone would do to quiet the voices. She took a hammer to them. In case any of you are wondering, if you damage a fire sprinkler head with a hammer, it releases massive amounts of water.
A great, high floor view in New York is great—until there are no elevators. So for the rest of the week, the stairs were the only option. Thank goodness she quieted those voices! At least now I know exactly the time it takes me to climb 40 flights of stairs!
Question of the Day: Where were you the last time you heard a fire alarm go off? Go to our Facebook page, like us and comment!

The kitchen has always been one of the essential parts of a family life; some people see cooking as a pleasure, no matter how tired they are after work, they have the idea that there is nothing better than a good food for their dear ones and of course, for themselves. Whether it's an open kitchen or a separate space, the fumes generated during cooking contain a high amount of contaminants (more than 300 types in total), which not only contaminate the kitchen with fats and odours but could also affect the health of your family. As part of the household products, Xiaomi has developed a smoke extractor and an intelligent kitchen that can be controlled from a Smartphone, the price of the package is 2499 yuan ($ 375) and is sponsored by the seal of Mijia and Viomi like other products on its crowdfunding platform. The kit consists of a hood or smoke extractor and a two burner stove, so let's quickly see a little information of each.
Smoke extractor with elegant design and incomparable efficiency
The design of the hood has a depth of 38.5 centimetres and a slope of 15 ° that helps to promote the absorption of smoke. It has a suction of 21 cubic meters of air per minute. Its finish is made of stainless steel sealed with a laser, which will help keep it clean, thus being more resistant to rust and grease. The suction pressure is 425 Pa, with a noise of only 52 dB when in operation. When it is not working, the exhaust cover is closed to prevent further accumulation of grease in the equipment.
Xiaomi shows off with a safe kitchen
As for the natural gas stove, the burners are protected against fires, and the burners are made of aluminium to prevent rust. The glass panel has three layers of glass that protects against possible explosions. Also, it has a system that notifies when the spark battery has been expended. It has two rings: one inside and one outside, to ensure that the heat is distributed evenly by the pot or pan. In case there is a leak or the gas is left open, it will be cut automatically, avoiding accidents of this type.
The stove has a blue flame combustion system, which can perform the complete integration of gas and oxygen to achieve excellent energy efficiency. The full flame of 176 holes can reach a firepower of 4200W. It also has a pair of knobs that can rotate 230 degrees, with which a fine adjustment of the level of the flame can be made.
Another striking aspect of this package is that both devices can be controlled from the smartphone, thanks to an application. This way we can control all aspects of the kitchen and the extractor from the terminal wirelessly. We will also be able to know if we have left the gas open if there are significant amounts of smoke or other important details. At the moment it only reaches China with a price of $ 375, which includes stove, hood and installation.
You can also purchase the components separately (although it would cost more), the extractor (called Cross), is priced at € 382 ($ 449) while the stove (called Power 4.2) costs € 127.5. They will be on sale on October 31st.
Both the hood and the cookers have a free installation in China. But to think about a broader market with these types of products, we will have to wait a little longer, since offering this kind of service in other countries requires a logistics that Xiaomi is not yet able to guarantee.

Jeff's Thoughts - March 21, 2018
Lost Your Pruning Shears?
I have long been an advocate for "pruning and planting" in the credit portfolio. Now, the notion of "planting" is usually pretty familiar to the credit staff I work with around the country. Especially these days, growing the credit portfolio is on everyone's mind. All credit institutions are working hard to plant more assets in their portfolios.
This kind of "plant only" mentality is common during the upside of the economic cycle. We get locked in on growing the quantity of credit assets. Then, years later, when we have a downturn, we rediscover the virtues of pruning. Unfortunately, when business conditions are poor, it becomes much harder to unload those weak credits.
Successful gardeners know that there's a season to pruning. In credit, right now may be good pruning season.
Pruning and planting is not just about growing the quantity of credits in your portfolio. It is about growing the quality of your assets. Rather than just planting more and more and more, this approach involves shedding some credits and replacing them with better customers.
Why prune now? Because your competitors will be happy to take your weaker credits off your hands. In a time when so many institutions are obsessed with growth, and with the strong economy making almost every business look good, at least for now, it is the best of times for moving credits out of your portfolio.
Of course, this takes commitment and discipline. First, you have to commit to the belief that your long-term portfolio quality can be improved by removing and replacing credits. If you just cannot make the decision to let go of any customers, you will be missing an opportunity to strengthen your institution's future.
And it takes discipline to review your credits with an eye to how they might fare in a downturn. You need good analysis by your staff to recognize which borrowers may look decent in the current strong economy, but whose fundamentals place them at risk when the good times end.
Finally, it takes some guts to actually pull the trigger and help those borrowers make their exit. Whether you subtly raise their pricing to nudge them to move on, or whether you diplomatically explain that they just don't fit with the plans you have for your portfolio, it takes some determination to execute the pruning phase.
But after more than forty years in the credit business, I have repeatedly seen the impact of the ups and downs of the economic cycle. And I have decided that the institutions that do the best job of weathering the hard times are the ones who prepare for those hard times during the good times.
We are all excited to be working in this strong economy. It may be less exciting to think about a downturn and to take action to prepare for it. But a little pruning now will prevent a lot of pain later.
'Tis the season. Get out your pruning shears!

How the Gift of the Season Will Only Give you Back Pain
By Victoria Priola
Hoverboards were at one time primarily existent in the futuristic dreams of the "Back to the Future" films. Now, these levitation devices were one of the hottest selling Christmas gifts of 2015.
If airplanes and select cities don't want them, why would you?
Since the latter part of November 2015, the Internet has been filled with videos of people trying out this new technology. 102,000 results arise when the keywords "Hover board fails" is searched on YouTube.
People of all ages, mostly parents and young adults, have tried to successfully ride these boards.
YouTuber Stephen Lee Nott captured his hoverboard going up in flames immediately after usage.
Nott claimed that he charged his board through the previous night, which may have caused it to overheat, but no product should burst into flames moments after being used for a short amount of time.
Luckily, Nott was not harmed, but many others who take a test run aren't so lucky. Throughout these 102,000 results, people of all ages have tried to successfully ride these boards.
It's a balancing act most just can't seem to handle. Why do people keep going back for more, when they know what the end result is?
Because being the weak minded generation we are, we're attracted to anything with lights. Regardless of the precautions, we're always looking for the new thrill everyone is talking about.
According to Fox 5 News, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has been forced to issue a statement saying: "The office has heard from hospitals around the country, injuries including concussions, fractures, lacerations and internal organ injuries."
Most users that are injured from the product fall on their spine and back.
The problem lies with getting off the board. When too much weight is carried to the front or back of the board, it swerves in the opposite direction intended.
If a lifetime of back problems sounds like your cup of tea, a hoverboard is the right investment for you.
Instead of buying a $300 hoverboard, why don't you do something that can actually benefit you? With the money you'd put down on buying one of these "futuristic" items, you can go on a road trip, take a trip to the beach and actually have some quality of life.
When a scooter costs more than your phone bill, it's time for an intervention.
Toys R Us sells Razor Hovertack Electric Scooters for $599. Pre-ordering a Electric Scooter 2 Wheels Self balancing Balance Hoverboard Model HFS from eBay costs $7,000.
The free shipping must be a total selling point because 184 people bought them.
According to SFGate, retailers like Target and Amazon have pulled the product from their shelves due to safety concerns.
CNN announced that hoverboards are illegal in New York City, as if that will make them do any less harm. Hoverboards should be banned everywhere and discontinued. If a product is not absolutely perfect, get it off the market until then.
Maybe the perfect hovering object will come along in 2026, but us millennials aren't able to handle that yet.

The Numismatic Cabinet is both the only and the central institution of its kind in Slovenia. From the very foundation of the museum it has systematically acquired and scientifically studied numismatic and other museum exponents important for the monetary, financial, and banking history of the Slovenian lands. The systematic collection today contains around 80,000 objects (coins, banknotes, and other financial instruments, and also medals and counterfeits). Only from 1948 has the collection been overseen by a specialist curator. The Numismatic Cabinet has been an independent department of the National Museum of Slovenia from 1964.
In addition to perfecting the existing collections, the basic tasks of the cabinet are to document and classify the numismatic heritage and to study all the classical, medieval, and modern coin finds from the territory of Slovenia. The extensive collections and the results of their analyses are presented to the public with periodic exhibitions and in numerous publications. The Cabinet has developed the computer program NUMIZ with built-in parameters for the formats of publications in certain projects (catalogues for collections, hoards, finds of classical, medieval, and modern coins, Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum). This program has greatly aided in forming a central computer register for the coin finds from all periods throughout all of Slovenia. At the same time a professional register is also being composed of all the numismatic material kept in Slovenian museum institutions.
The Cabinet also has an extensive specialized library. Students from the Archaeology Department of the University of Zagreb are also introduced to coins from antiquity in the Numismatic Cabinet.
In 2000 the Numismatic Cabinet was awarded the Valvasor Prize by the Slovenian Museum Society.

Where do you gather?
We gather in the Screenland Armour Theatre in North Kansas City.
406 Armour Road North Kansas City, Mo 64116
When do you gather?
- Sunday mornings at 10:00am for corporate worship through preaching of the Word, singing of songs, and communion. (PreK-2nd ministry is provided weekly and 3rd - 5th on the 1st and 3rd weeks of the month)
- Throughout the week in homes for Community Groups.
What should I wear?
Come as you are. This means spiritually and physically. You don't need a new wardrobe for church here. Most of us wear jeans, some wear slacks and we are good with that too! We want you to be who you are. Our pastors usually wear jeans and button down shirts.
Should I bring anything?
If you own a Bible, then we would always suggest bringing it because we will use it every time we gather. If you do not own a Bible, we'd love to give you one when you are here! Also, you could bring a writing utensil and paper if you like to take notes.
What is your music like?
We are modernly acoustic and folk driven in our music. There is usually around 25-30 minutes of new and old songs and hymns with prayer and scripture weaved in through the service. We make sure that all the lyrics we sing and pray are biblically accurate, God glorifying, and gospel-saturated.
What do you talk about?
We have two goals in our corporate worship gatherings: 1. To give glory to Jesus. 2. For you to love Jesus more when you leave us than when you joined us.
Our pastors usually preach for about 40-45 minutes. Our pastors will typically preach through a book of the Bible over several weeks or months so that we can understand the entire book and it's applications in context. We believe in repetitively preaching the gospel to ourselves. You will hear the gospel multiple times through the worship gathering. The gospel message is that God sent his one and only son, Jesus, to die in our place in order to make a way for us back to Himself. We simply open up the Bible, then read and study what it says. You can always trust that we will reveal instructions and lessons according to God's Word.
Am I expected to give money?
We do not expect our visitors to give money at our gatherings. Our Emmaus church members give regularly as an act of praising God for who He is and what He has done. We believe that our generosity in giving is a part of worship. We celebrate the opportunity to give back to God and what He has so generously given to us by giving through an offering box at our connect table or by giving online. Giving is an act of worship as we thank God for what he has given us and trust him by giving back to him.
Who is Emmaus affiliated with?
Emmaus believes that partnership with other churches allows us to be a part of more gospel-work both locally and globally. Emmaus has chosen to partner with other churches through 2 organizations:
- Acts 29 Through our partnership with Acts 29, Emmaus has the opportunity to join around 750 other churches that are aligned by theological clarity, cultural engagement, and missional innovation. Acts 29 is a family of church planting churches that exists to encourage, resource, facilitate, support, and equip churches to plant churches that will plant church-planting churches.
- Southern Baptist Convention By partnering with the Southern Baptist Convention, we are able to join 45,000 other churches in giving and supporting the training of pastors and missionaries through 6 seminaries, including Kansas City's very own Midwestern Seminary; supporting the International Mission Board as they partner with churches to send limitless missionaries and mission teams into the nations with the gospel; supporting the North American Mission Board and the SendNetwork which partner to plant over 1,000 churches each year in North America; as well as supporting SendRelief and DisasterRelief ministries.

Heart's Club Classics with Pandora Christie 7pm - 10pm
I've always thought one of my shoulders was higher than the other, and now I know why!
My handbag weights a ton! Well 4.5kg to be exact as Kev made me weight it today.
Admittedly I carry around items I probably don't need on a regular basis but have them in there 'just in case'.
Kev thought he'd play a game to lighten my load by taking 8 items out in a Generation Game style
We got Rach from Soham on the show to try and remember those items,I could only keep the the ones she remembered, hear how she did…

In this post, I will briefly discuss the three most important concepts that need to be understood in order to consistently eat a healthy diet. It is undeniably true that we are what we eat, so understanding these concepts really is central to a healthy life.
1. Building your healthy nutritional environment
This remains the most important concept for maintaining a healthy diet. If the environment within which you live is filled with junk food and highly processed convenience food, that is what you will eat. On the other hand, if your environment is filled with healthy whole foods and your head is filled with quick and easy recipes for turning these healthy foods into delicious meals, healthy eating will happen completely automatically. So, make the commitment to only bring healthy food into your home and make the time investment to learn how to properly prepare this food. This really is the foundation of a healthy diet.
2. Nutrient density
This is the key indicator for selecting healthy foods. Nutrient density is the ratio of nutrients/calories in any given food. Our bodies need a wide range of nutrients to function optimally and it seems to be very close to impossible to get too much nutrients. It is definitely possible to get too many calories though. Excessive calories lead to weight gain and generates lots of destructive molecules called free radicals that literally cause your body to rust from the inside out. These free radicals can only be neutralized by micro-nutrients called antioxidants. In short, nutrients heal and calories kill. It is therefore obvious that you should choose only nutrient dense foods.
3. Balance
Many modern miracle diets say that you should eat a lot of one thing (e.g. protein) or totally stop eating another thing (e.g. carbs or fat). The obvious truth is, however, that the human body was designed to function on a balanced diet. We need proteins, we need carbs, we need fat and we need a whole range of other stuff too. Disrupting this precious balance is completely unnatural and very dangerous. Unfortunately, the standard modern diet is completely out of balance and contains far too much animal protein, dangerous trans and saturated fats and empty carbohydrates. Considering the massive degree of imbalance in our modern diet, our current degenerative disease epidemic really is no surprise whatsoever. Please balance your diet ASAP.
So, there you have it in a nutshell: build yourself a healthy nutritional environment, fill it with a wide mix of nutrient dense foods and live a long and healthy life. It really is as simple as that.

The Foo Fighters surprised fans on Thursday by releasing a new single and video for the song "Run."
The video for the hard-rocking song features the band rocking out in a retirement home, with all hell breaking loose once the song kicks into high gear (beware of possibly NSFW prosthetic boobs just past the 3:30 mark). The video was directed by Dave Grohl.
Check it out below:

Numb (Eyedea Dedication) by Copywrite
Let me start this off by saying Eyedea is very special to me. I saw him tear through cats on the Blaze Battle in Chicago in 2000 on HBO. I was immediately drawn to him. Despite not seeing any product from him I knew he was a dope MC and I knew it was only a matter of time. I heard his cut with DJ Abilities called "Now" in 2003 and was blown away. It is truly one of the dopest songs I have ever heard. He takes the fast rapping to a whole other level showing breath control that I think even Twista would envy. He's done Rock The Bells on several occasions most recently as 2009 and even performs Now on the documentary titled Rock The Bells. When he started his career I saw him and now he has passed away and I know he will be missed. He was a member of the Rhymesayers family and was loved by many in the underground Hip Hop community. Another member of that community is fellow battle legend and former MHz member Copywrite. He did a song yesterday, released it today and I am making it available for download. I am also including my favorite Eyedea and Abilities song "Now" for dowload as well. Rest in Peace Eyedea. He was 29 years old.
Just click on the titles to download the songs.

So I picked up a pair of 10J Work Eurolines as a spare pair of drift rims at a reasonable price.
I fitted a pair of tyres I had lying around and fitted the wheels just to see how they fit. I had to fit a 25mm spacer as the wheels aren't a fantastic offset but I am very happy with the way the car sits on them.
Can't wait for my next drift day in a couple of weeks.

Final Review B
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
Problem Rfb.1.
Define the term denial of service attack, with an example.
In a denial of service attack, attackers essentially disable a system from regular use. This can often be done without explicit access to the system; for example, a Web server can be attacked by simply sending such a volume of spurious requests that the server can barely respond to legitimate requests.
Problem Rfb.2.
Ben Bitdiddle reads that the one-time pad is perfectly secure, but he reasons that he can do a more efficient implementation by selecting a random 128-bit key and simply reusing it over and over - that is, we use the same 128-bit key to encrypt each group of 16 characters (16 ⋅ 8 = 128). Now suppose you receive a large body of English text encrypted using Ben's method, but you don't know the key. How might you attempt decode the message?
Starting from the first byte, we look at every 16th byte in the encrypted text and see which byte value occurs most often among this selection of bytes. Since in English documents, the space character is by far the most frequent byte, we can safely assume that the most common byte value corresponds to a space, and we can do a bitwise XOR of the most common byte value with the ASCII code for space (0x20) to arrive at what is almost certainly the first byte of the key.
We can repeat the process starting from the second byte to get the second byte of the key, then the third byte, and so on to get all eight bytes of the key. Once we get our safe guesses for all eight bytes, we can then apply the key to the entire message to decrypt it.
Problem Rfb.3.
Suppose Alice and Bob wants to use public-key cryptography so that Alice can send a message to Bob securely. How would they go about it (without reference to a particular public-key algorithm)?
First, Bob must generate a matching pair of keys, one designated as the private key and the other as the public key. He announces his public key to Alice, which Alice can then use to encrypt her message. Upon receipt, Bob will decrypt this message using his private key; he will be the only person who will be able to decrypt the message since he is the only person who knows the private key corresponding to the published public key.
Problem Rfb.4.
Describe the man-in-the-middle attack, whereby an attacker Eve can actually decrypt any messages sent from Alice to Bob.
Eve determines how she can position herself to intercept all communication between Alice and Bob. Eve generates her own matching pair of keys, one a private key and one a public key. When Bob publishes his public key, Eve intercepts the public key and sends her own public key on to Alice. When Alice sends a message, Eve intercepts the message encrypted with Eve's public key, decodes it using Eve's private key (so that she has intercepted the message). If she wants Bob to know that the message was sent, she uses Bob's public key to encrypts the decoded message and sends that encrypted version on to Bob. Neither Alice nor Bob have any way of detecting that Eve intercepted all communication.
Problem Rfb.5.
In RSA encryption, what do the private key and public key consist of? Knowing the public key, how could one conceivably compute the private key given enough computation power?
To generate a pair of keys, we first generate two large prime numbers p and q and their product N = p ⋅ q. We find some number s that is relatively prime to (p − 1) ⋅ (q − 1); then we compute a k so that (s ⋅ k) mod ((p − 1) ⋅ (q − 1)) = 1. The public key consists of k and N, whereas the private key consists of s.
Knowing the public key, k and N, if we had enough computing power we could factor N to get its two prime factors p and q. Knowing that, we can compute the value of s so that (s ⋅ k) mod ((p − 1) ⋅ (q − 1)) = 1, which gives us the private key.
Problem Rfb.6.
In a major blunder, a file containing millions of Adobe passwords was published, and the passwords were encrypted using a symmetric key system. Why would it have been better if Adobe had stored passwords using a cryptographic hash function instead?
If we had a symmetric key system, knowing the encryption key would allow all passwords to be decrypted into their plaintext if the symmetric key were to be acquired; while the encryption key may not be known (and Adobe's key remains unknown), in principle it could be found, and in this case the entire database would open up. However, with a cryptographic hash function, there is no known way to decrypt all passwords at once.
Problem Rfb.7.
In storing passwords, what is "salt," and how does it help keep the passwords secure?
Salt is just a random sequence of characters that is stored in plaintext along with the hash of the result of appending the password onto the hash. This is much more secure than simply storing the hash of the password, since doing the latter makes it far easier to perform a dictionary attack: The attacker can perform a single hash of a frequently-used password and compare it to all hashed values, whereas with a salted system, the attacker must try each individual salt value along with the frequently-used password, slowing the decryption process down considerably.
Problem Rfb.8.
How does TLS (on which HTTPS is based) address the possibility of a man-in-the-middle attack?
It relies on certifying authorities (CAs). Browsers are distributed with a relatively short list of CAs and their public keys. Sites generate their public keys and pay a CA to use its private key to generate a certificate of the site's public key. This CA certification process includes a check to make sure the site is who it says it is. Then, when a browser sends a request to the site, the site sends its public key as well as the CA-generated certificate. The browser can use its stored CA public key to authenticate the certificate, which ensures that the browser can be as sure of the site as the CA was during its initial check.
Note that a man-in-the-middle attacker could not uselessfully generate its own private key unless it could get the CA to certify the matching public key as corresponding to the site.

I realize none of you care about my life and updates but listen anyways. I have some good news to tell all of you and wouldn't mind your thoughts and insights, and even advice about some of it to make sure I am going about things in a good way.
- I applied to be a sponsored athlete with a supplement company. They are a very small business (still growing their site) and accepted my application. I will get my contract this weekend or week, which is exciting for me. They are not a HUGE name, but sadly, I have to start at the VERY bottom and work my way up until I grow a better resume and better appearance with more exposure and do more activities that BIGGER companies look for.
- I am thinking about starting a sound cloud account in which I record motivational topics/give advice to questions people may have or even share some thoughts on certain things going on. I do this kind of on YouTube, but not everyone has a YouTube account or utilizes it, so if someone has sound cloud , or wants something to listen to while at the gym, I figured this could be helpful 🙂
- I plan on starting a vlog on my YouTube channel, where I vlog at least once or twice a week, just sharing what is going on with my life, family, friends, might bring in guest speakers, etc. just something off the topic of all fitness related so everyone can relate or share their own thoughts and what you, just something fun 🙂
- I will start utilizing my snapchat and/or instagram video in order to talk to people one on one or promote things, or even to share videos .. – need some ideas of what people use snapchat for and insta for that can help me grow 🙂
- I already utilize pinterest, so if you do, follow me 🙂 I have good stuff I pin. and love following others and getting ideas.
- I plan on changing my blog theme here soon, once spring comes closer 🙂
- I am still accepting guest post and collabs, I have two people I need to get back to and those will be rolling out here soon hopefully &still willing to do guest post for others.
- I have a facebook fitness page, so follow that , hopefully once things get rolling and I get certified, I will have it more entertaining and worth your while, be patient with me
- I am thinking about starting a facebook group that anyone can join if they want to do more challenges, motivate each other, etc. – this isn't set in stone but give your opinions on that, I may do this on my page instead. we shall see
- I am now writing for another platform (an online mag) started today and it seems to be getting a lot of people who look at it or whatever, so that is good.
- I hope to change my domain name so that "wordpress" isn't part of it. My goal is to have it changed within the next 4-5 months .. if not sooner.
- I may be joining an affiliate program again down the road, once I get more comfortable with it and understand how to do them better.
- I am going to continue to make challenges that people can do, as it grows to be more popular and more people become interested, I plan on giving out prizes for them.. so that will be cool! especially if I am a sponsored athlete. My challenges, I have not decided how often (every other month, every 2 months, etc) so throw me some ideas 🙂
- I will continue to write for the editor when given the time and have the right topics.
- I have seen people using Twitter periscope, so may look into using that as well, if you get on Twitter
- I will be doing Question and Answers on YouTube as well 🙂 so if you have questions, I will start answering them on YouTube and the questions can be open to whatever, as long as they are appropriate obviously.
- If anyone has a podcast and wants me to interview, hey, let me know, I love doing those things.
- I have skype, and have thought about doing workouts on skype with people or talking to people via skype about different things – this would be down the road, but don't mind feedback on it.
- As far as more on my blog – I have had people ask me to do interviews on my blog, to start talking more about specific workouts again, etc. so if you have topics, let me know 🙂 these are things I can do.
So far, that is the majority of the news, I will have more down the road obviously as things start to change and unravel. I will always keep everyone updated as much as possible whenever I can. I will hopefully have days and times of which things happen, so it makes it easier for everyone to keep up with. I appreciate the support and willingness to learn and engage with me! so don't go anywhere, shit is about to real soon 🙂 ha

I started learning about and lifting weights back in 2008/2009 when I was looking for a healthy outlet to relieve stress and boost my confidence. When I started out, every day I looked forward to just putting my head phones in and shutting out the rest of the world for an hour or so and just building my strength physically which built my strength inwardly. The idea of working out with other people just didn't make sense to me and didn't seem as therapeutic as lifting by myself. I was independent and confident and didn't need anyone to hold me accountable to workout because I did it for myself. I worked out solo for 4-5 years and never felt like I was missing out on anything at all and actually almost saw it as a weakness for anyone who "needed" a workout partner.
However, somewhere in 2013 life had other plans and connected me with my above friend who soon became my every day workout partner. The first workout we did pushed me so much that I remember feeling nauseous for the first time in a long time. We met up at the gym, we did what we call "exercise for exercise" which means she would name an exercise we did then I would name one we did as a superset. Well the good thing and bad thing is we all tend to choose the exercises we are strongest in so when Amy chose burpees and plyometrics while I was over here just choosing heavy weights, we both got our butts kicked because it pushed us completely outside of our normal routine. Since then, I have been working out with a partner or in a group setting and am not a huge believer in it and here's why:
There's a saying that you only grow as big as the environment you're in…if you're the only one in your fitness world then you kind of are challenging just whatever you decide to program for your workout that day. However, when you have a partner who has totally different strengths then you-you become forced to challenge your body and mind in a totally different way. Amy (picture above), does awesome with plyometrics and when we first met she used to run all the time. Well any of you have followed me for any amount of time all know that I hate running and would rather lift seriously heavy weights for an hour then run for 5 minutes. Of course, the first time she asked to run together I was less than excited, but also realized some areas I needed to work on. Now, I workout regularly at a Crossfit gym with a group of 5-10 people. When I first was introduced to Crossfit a couple years ago, I was intimidated by the idea of working out with other people who were probably much stronger than me and looking like an idiot not knowing what I was doing, but also because it meant stepping outside my comfort zone and being vulnerable to show my weaknesses and areas I need to improve on.
I can honestly say that now almost 10 years later since my start of lifting weights in 2008 and working with a partner or a group setting, I am in better shape now than I have ever been because I am constantly being challenged and improving in all areas. There is always someone in the class who is faster, stronger and in better shape than me which is intimidating, but also forces me to step up and improve. The same is true for any of your life and sometimes hard to swallow that you are who you surround yourself with. I have tried denying this so many times in my life as an excuse for not to get outside my comfort zone, but the facts prove both on my fitness and in my business that I am a better person when I am surrounded with like minded individuals who are moving towards similar goals.
So in today's chat, my friends Kindal Boyle and Mee from Mee Eat Paleo Nut Butters share our stories about how we found our workout partners, what it was like the first time we stepped into a Crossfit gym or group fitness class, but also several suggestions on how you can find your workout and accountability partner.
In this video, I talk specifically about being part of a social media or Facebook group where you can share your workouts and goals. You are welcome to join my tribe of Flat ABS women who have gone through the 90 day transformation and are consistently working towards their goals in fitness and in life by heading here to join!
Join in on the conversation below and get ready to find your workout and accountability partner:
Do you have a specific question or topic you want us to chat about to help you in fitness, food, or mindset?

I started a farmgirl's dabbles to share favorite family recipes and stories from my life growing up on the farm in South Dakota. Most of my recipes come from my mom and grandmas, who taught me not only to pass dishes down to the next generation, but to also venture out of the usual menu and have some fun.

In what is proving to be an increasingly common occurrence, the Kardashian/Jenners have again been called out for copying. New York-based brand PluggedNYC, which is known for its colorful camouflage pieces, has taken to Instagram to call out Kylie Jenner's new "Camo Collection" – which launched today – alleging that Jenner "cut and pasted" their existing camo designs for own line.
Over the past several days, Jenner has been busy promoting the launch of her "Camo" collection in a series of Instagram photos, as well as at least one billboard featuring herself in a camouflage bikini. The collection features a range of now-sold-out bikinis, sweatpants, and crop tops, among other styles, all in varying shades of camouflage.
In two separate Instagram posts, PluggedNYC highlighted the similarities between its pieces, which have been worn by superstars like Rihanna, and those in Jenner's collection. But the social media war does not stop there. Twitter users have taken to documenting the full extent of PluggedNYC's allegations, which the brand shared via its Instagram story. Screenshots of the now-expired story show emails between the company and a rep for Kylie Jenner, who ordered PluggedNYC pieces for the star before she went on to allegedly copy them for her own collection.
If this sounds familiar, that is because Khloe Kardashian's team allegedly ordered an array of garments from indie label, dbleudazzled, before the reality star included lookalike designs in her latest Good American collection. Dbleudazzled designer Destiney Bleu made her thoughts known on social media earlier this week, calling out Kardashian for copying.
Per Refinery 29, Bleu has since received a cease and desist letter (pictured below) from the Kardashian legal camp, threatening to bring legal action against her for defamation if she does not stop claiming that Kardashian copied her. Kardashian's legal team has also reportedly demanded that Bleu remove all existing posts making reference to "copying" AND actively deter "trolls" from commenting on Khloe's social media posts about the alleged copying.
As for whether either Bleu or PluggedNYC have merited legal claims, it - unfortunately - seems unlikely. The designs that Bleu claims Kardashian copied largely consist of bedazzled leotards. They are unlikely to be covered by copyright law, which does not protect useful items, such as garments. The brand has a slightly better chance of claiming copyright infringement following the Supreme Court's ruling in Star Athletica v. Varsity - a decision that bodes well for many designers - but is still far from a home run for Bleu.
In theory, PluggedNYC has a better chance, as camouflage has been awarded legal protections in the past. For instance, in April of 2016, the Navy was awarded a trademark of its NWU 1 camouflage pattern, a pixelated black, gray and navy blue design. Although it was initially rejected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board held otherwise because the Navy "was able to show that due to actual use of the print, it has acquired the necessary distinctiveness in the eyes of the public."
However, since PluggedNYC likely cannot claim such distinctiveness (a relatively high legal bar), this may prove to be yet another instance of a designer unable to take action beyond making social media shout outs and generating publicity as those go viral. Nonetheless, we can certainly add the hypothetical cases at hand to a long list of other brands and designers that have called attention to this family's alleged disregard for - and willingness to profit from - others' designs.
And regardless of the legality of these indie designers' claims, there is a greater issue at play: The frequency with which large brands are consistently taking inspiration from indie ones without acknowledging their point of inspiration (and then in some instances, threatening to sue for defamation when the designers speak out).

-2018 NFL Schedule
-Strength of Schedule
Ask the Commish.Com
Draft Kit
Rudolph was selected by Pittsburgh in the third round of the draft. It's not an ideal short-term landing spot, as Rudolph will be glued to the bench as long as Ben Roethlisberger is healthy. Rudolph is, however, a good dynasty stash. He has exceptional size (6-foot-5, 235 pounds) and accuracy, which should offset underwhelming arm strength and small hands. He was superefficient at Oklahoma State, ranking near the top of this year's rookie class in nearly every statistical category. Rudolph will only be on the QB2 radar if Roethlisberger misses time.
Darnold was selected third overall in the draft. The USC product has just about everything you want in a quarterback. He's big (6-foot-3, 221 pounds), has a good arm and terrific accuracy. The big concern is turnovers. Darnold fumbled the ball 12 times and threw 13 interceptions in 14 games last season. He has been picked off 20 times during his past 20 games. Darnold is a good bet to make some starts as a rookie, but it's likely that he will spend most of the season learning the ropes behind Josh McCown and/or Teddy Bridgewater.
The Browns made Mayfield the first overall pick in the draft. If you like statistical efficiency, you like Mayfield. During his final season at Oklahoma, he completed 71 percent of his passes, averaged 11.5 yards per attempt, converted a first down on 45 percent of his throws, posted a 198.9 QB rating and a 92.6 total QBR. All were highest among quarterbacks who attended the combine. Mayfield posted an incredible 43-6 TD-to-INT ratio, and despite going downfield plenty (10.7 average depth of throw), he was off-target on only 8.9 percent of his attempts. Mayfield will need to adjust from the Sooners' spread system, so there should be an adjustment period. He figures to spend most of 2018 carrying the clipboard behind Tyrod Taylor.
Arizona looked to solve its long-term quarterback void by selecting Rosen in the first round of April's draft. Rosen has ideal size (6-foot-4, 226 pounds) with good accuracy and serviceable arm strength. He's not particularly mobile and struggled to connect on deep balls during his time at UCLA. Rosen is a conservative passer (8.1 aDOT last season), so his 26 interceptions in 30 career starts are a bit concerning. He'll start out behind Sam Bradford but is a strong bet to make starts in 2018. Rosen isn't worth drafting in season-long leagues, but keep him on your watch list.
Buffalo traded up and selected Allen in the first round of the draft. The Wyoming product sports ideal size (6-foot-5, 237 pounds) and elite arm strength, but his accuracy is about as poor as you'll find for a top quarterback prospect. Allen completed only 56 percent of his passes, was off-target 16.3 percent of the time and averaged 6.7 YPA in 2017, all of which are woeful. Allen has only AJ McCarron and Nathan Peterman in his way on the depth chart, so he is a strong bet to make starts in 2018. Of course, even if he steps up his game, Buffalo's run-first scheme and shaky supporting cast makes Allen a poor bet for fantasy success in 2018.
The Ravens traded up and selected Jackson in the first round of the draft. During his final two seasons at Louisville, Jackson threw for 57 touchdowns, ran for 39 more and was intercepted 19 times. An elite rusher, he totaled an absolutely absurd 4,132 yards and 50 touchdowns on 655 carries during 38 games at Louisville. Jackson's NFL completion percentage may end up being low, but he'll make up for missed throws with his incredible speed, athleticism and rushing ability. His reliance on his legs and slight build (6-foot-2, 216 pounds) raise obvious questions about his durability, but the upside here is massive. Jackson is unlikely to play much as a rookie, but he'll be in the QB1 discussion if called on to start.

This blog explores the complicated mix between culture, politics and sports among Latinos and Latinas in the United States.
So What?
Because "culture" is typically misunderstood when applied to the Latino/a population, it is either used to homogenize, or to present them fixed or static, or to construct them as "Other." Also, culture is rarely discussed alongside politics even though they are inseparable. An examination of culture and politics can offer important lessons for politicians, government officials, labor organizers, grassroots activists, athletes and cultural workers on how best to advance the Latino/a community politically and economically within the United States. According George Lipsitz, "Culture exists as a form of politics, as a means of reshaping individual and collective practice for specified interests, and as long as individuals perceive their interests as unfilled, culture retains an oppositional potential." (Time Passages)
Latino/a political empowerment must enter the "long march through culture." As Antonio Gramsci has suggested capitalism maintains control not just through violence and political and economic coercion but ideologically, through a "hegemonic" culture in which the values of the ruling class become the "common sense" values of all. Thus a consensus culture develops in which people of the working and middle-classes identify their own good with the good of the ruling class, and thus help to maintain the status quo rather than revolting against it.

Man Pulls Out a Machete On Construction Crew
Do you have something in your car that would be interesting or hard to explain to someone? Especially a cop?
Earlier this month, a man in Iowa City was arrested for waving a machete at a forklift driver. According to the Iowa City Press Citizen, the suspect had a verbal altercation with a forklift driver. Apparently, he was upset with the construction equipment in the road so he showed just how upset he was by grabbing a machete from his car and waving at the victim.
Doesn't this make you think what the hell? Where did this guy get a machete from and better yet why does he have it in his car?!
What's in your car that might surprise someone?

The Omnivore's Dilemma
Whooo! I just finished reading this Michael Pollan's book, named one of the 10 best books in 2006 by the NY Times. And what an excellent read it was. Over the last few weeks I almost missed my subway stop more than a few times on my commute to work because I was too much immersed in learning all about the omnivore's dilemma -- that is, what a modern man is to eat everyday?
The concept was as simple as it can be -- what am I going to eat today? What is it that I am eating? Where did it come from? How did it find its way to my plate? The book was divided into three sections: industrial/corn; pastoral/grass; personal/forest. The author traces the footprints of all the food ingredients back to its fundamental roots. Then, in the end, armed with the knowledge of the what, where, and how of the food, he sat down and enjoyed (at least tried to enjoy) the meal.
But why?
Mr. Pollan made a strong case with this question: why wouldn't you want to know who makes your food? We worry about a trustworthy investment advisor, a dependable car mechanic, a knowledgeable real estate agent, and even just a plumber. We solicit personal recommendations and website reviews before we go out and select any of these people. Why do we care less about the people/operations behind what nourishes our bodies? There are many possible answers -- like our trust in the USDA and the FDA. But we simply can't deny that most of us are operating with a state of blissful ignorance.
The industrial chain of operations led Mr. Pollan back to a field of corn in Iowa. From there he made his way to chicken farms and cattle feedlots. Along the way he learned about the antibiotics necessary for huge crowds of animals confined to a small space; the fossil fuel necessary to make nitrogen fertilizers for the corn; the pH change in a corn-fed cattle's stomaches that fosters the growth of deadly E. coli strain. Then, he and his family enjoyed a $14 McDonald's meal in a car speeding down an interstate. He also visited a grass farm on which grass, trees, chickens, pigs, cows, and humans constitute a sustainable harmonious farming cycle. And then at last, his exhilarating experiences of hunting (wild boar!), foraging (morels, chanterelles, and abalone!), and gardening made a most fascinating read.
My little write-up of course cannot do justice to this book. But I would recommend everyone to read it. It doesn't matter what you believe in -- organic, vegan diet, Atkins diet, fast food, slow food, whatever -- because the book does not teach you what you eat. It simply allows you to eat with a conscious knowledge about this very primitive, innate, and unchangeable human behavior -- putting food in your mouth.

Cool - I don't think the visuals do it justice. Get some different colors, have one that shows all your great integration modules. iOS version planned or even able to do same feature set?
@stepheninoue Hey Stephen. Thanks for the tip! Really appreciate it. One of our goals for this release was to have an iOS version for you guys. Unfortunately, we found that implementing on iOS is just not feasible. The iOS operating system works very differently from Android. It does not allow for alarm scheduling and other necessary background tasks. This is why you don't see many good alarm apps on iOS. To make Clockwise work on iOS, the user would have to keep his phone unlocked and awake the entire time he/she sleeps. This is how a lot of iOS alarm apps work. We know users wouldn't be too excited about that. There are a few other features that also wouldn't be possible. So we made a tough decision and decided instead of making a watered down version on iOS, we would focus our efforts toward making a great Android product.

Drew GallagherMaker@drewg2009 · Developer
Hello everyone! My name is Drew Gallagher and I am the co-founder of the Clockwise Smart Alarm. One year ago my friend Seth Delbridge and I set out with a goal: we wanted to make waking up a more engaging and inspiring experience. We released our first version of Clockwise last year and received a lot of constructive feedback that allowed us to rethink our approach. Key things we wanted to focus on in our second release were implementing the ability to create multiple alarms, adding better voices to the app, increasing app stability, adding alarm volume controls, improving our UX and design, and adding some smart features to improve the experience. Clockwise is a smart alarm that is built by you. You create alarms, add modules, set your tones, set your specific alarm settings, and wait to wake up to content spoken to you. Modules are add-ons that you attach to your alarm to add content to be spoken to you for when you wake up. If you want to hear the weather report for your area, the top reddit posts for a particular feed, or just want to be inspired by the quote of the day, Clockwise has you covered. We offer the following modules for customization: Weather Reddit Twitter News Reminders Countdown Traffic Quote of the Day This Day in History Fun Fact We allow you to customize your wakeup voices, snooze settings, alarm wake up times, alarm volume, module order, in app sounds, and more. We also added some smart wake features like Wise Wakeup for weather that reschedules an earlier alarm if there is bad weather in your area so you can try to get ahead of traffic, and we added the ability to snooze the alarm if you move your hand over the front of the phone when the notification goes off. The scalability of Clockwise is endless in my eyes. We want to add a lot more modules, smart wakeup features, and really make Clockwise the daily assistant that improves your daily experience. We hope you love Clockwise and we look forward to your feedback! Thank you!
Hey guys, this is Seth Delbridge - a co-creator of Clockwise. First off, I'm a collegiate athlete, and Clockwise was sort of my brainchild that stemmed from my tough time waking up for 5:30 am practices. After laying some groundwork, Drew Gallagher joined me and we released a pretty cool app last year. Since then we have revamped it and made it even smarter with awesome new features, better voices, and multiple alarm support. Clockwise is for the mornings where you want to know about the weather or news (you name it), but you're too tired to even see straight. Clockwise helps you out by going and grabbing the information you want and then speaks said info to you with some pretty high quality voices. We aimed to make waking up easier and I believe that's what we did. Give it try!
