I use back-in-time for backuping up my projects. but my Database's are not included. I'd like to backup all database's scheduling by day or hours. Is there any tool to backup MySQL automatically?
MySQL Admin (discontinued - was available in natty) has a backup tool with a (basic) scheduler to make backups on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. It is even included in Ubuntu: mysql-admin.
Random image from the web:
My favourite way ofcourse is command line and I found a backup script on UF.
#!/bin/bash #Script to make a regular copy of a mysql database and gzip it into the SAVEDIR. USER="authorized_user" PASSWORD="the_password" DATABASE="database_name" SAVEDIR="/backup" /usr/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/mysqldump -u $USER --password=$PASSWORD --default-character-set=utf8 $DATABASE -c | /usr/bin/nice -n 19 /bin/gzip -9 > $SAVEDIR/$DATABASE-$(date '+%Y%m%d-%H').sql.gz
Edit the varibles, save it as .bkup.sh and run it in a crontab, then you have an automatic mysql backup. All the code for this script explained here. Kudos to kat_ams.
If you're on a server without a GUI, here's a package that will backup and rotate all of your MySQL databases daily by default.
sudo apt-get install automysqlbackup
That's it. The default configuration is sane so you're done unless you need something special. The backup files will be placed in
/var/lib/automysqlbackup which you should rsync somewhere off-site.
You can configure this program in
/etc/default/automysqlbackupmore info available after executing
man automysqlbackup– jmarceli Jul 28 '14 at 16:49

Whats the surf like?
Pohnpei is home to the world famous reef break, P Pass, which is named after the part of the island in which it resides, Palikir. You may know of place by a different name, the Caroline Islands, which was used to mislead any travelling surfers hunting for liquid heaven. Western Pacific typhoons produce swells from October to May which is the main surf season.
Micronesia is a constituency of Pacific Oceania region and comprises thousands of small islands in the western Pacific Ocean, Northeast of Papua New Guinea. Technically it is known as the Federated States of Micronesia, which was originally proposed by French Naval explorer Jules Dumont d?Urville in 1831.
Micronesia consists of four unique states, Kosrae, Pohnpei, Chuuk and Yap. Although they are considered to be a part of one territory, they all have their own distinctive traditions and cultural identities. About the only similarities between them are the beautiful coral reefs that fringe the islands.

Tough times in terms of sales and profits are hitting the entire industry hard, but Honda appears to be taking it particularly badly if the latest report from Japan proves true. News of the cancellation of Honda's V8 program, its CR-Z convertible, and perhaps most lamentably, its next-gen S2000 roadster, has emerged today. The report indicates that Honda's drastic reshaping of its future product lineup is being done with an eye to a leaner, greener brand image, according to AutoWeek. These factors would certainly toll the death knell of a planned RWD Acura V8 - possibly a heavily redesigned RL due around 2015, just as the V10-powered NSX has met its demise. 2008 Honda OSM Roadster concept

Who could supplant Joe D? Players weigh in
It was Joe DiMaggio's signature achievement (that is, other than marrying Marilyn Monroe) and it is baseball's enduring one. The 56-game hitting streak, which wrapped 75 years ago Sunday, is a monumental stretch of success in a sport with a foundation of failure.
You're simply not supposed to avoid the occasional 0-for-4 for such a prolonged period, and, proving the point, we've now got three-quarters of a century separating DiMaggio's ridiculous run from the present day.
It was Joe DiMaggio's signature achievement (that is, other than marrying Marilyn Monroe) and it is baseball's enduring one. The 56-game hitting streak, which wrapped 75 years ago Sunday, is a monumental stretch of success in a sport with a foundation of failure.
You're simply not supposed to avoid the occasional 0-for-4 for such a prolonged period, and, proving the point, we've now got three-quarters of a century separating DiMaggio's ridiculous run from the present day.
• Joe DiMaggio's run to 56: Rewriting the record
In the present day, there are added hurdles that even Joe D. never faced -- specialized bullpens, widespread shifting, an amplified media presence when hitting streaks reach even the 20s. All of these things make a modern-day 56 both unfathomable and, yes, fun to fathom. (One piece of context that helps explain the glaring difference between today and the Major Leagues in 1941: DiMaggio faced 54 pitchers during his famous streak, while Jackie Bradley Jr. faced 65 hurlers during his 29-game hitting streak earlier this year.)
With all of this in mind, we asked a wide variety of current players, managers and coaches -- 74 votes in all -- to look around the Major League landscape and pick the one guy they think is actually capable of doing what DiMaggio did in 1941. And our informal survey uncovered a single, clear-cut, vertically challenged but statistically sound victor:
Jose Altuve, you have been entrusted with a sacred duty, friend. Good luck.
• Play Beat the Streak, win $5.6 million
If you read our mathematical breakdown of which players have the best chance to unseat Joe D., you'll notice that there was a consensus on Altuve among the math and the men, but a big divergence of opinion after that.
Here's a rundown of how the votes went, with some comments for context:
Altuve, 36 votes
From Joe D. to Jose A.? Many of those surveyed seemed to think this is the Majors' best bet. Altuve has hit over .300 in each of the past three seasons, with a Major League-best .341 mark in 2014, and he's got the speed to beat out infield singles.
Twins manager Paul Molitor (who had a 39-game streak in 1987): "He's top of the order, more at-bats, a free swinger, hits righties and lefties, can bunt."
Red Sox outfielder Bradley Jr.: "He's got the combination of speed and the knack for getting hits. That combination is tough to stop."
Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw: "It has to be somebody who swings at a lot of pitches, doesn't take a lot of walks and puts a lot of balls in play. I guess Altuve fits."
Video: 56: The Streak. Will it ever be broken?
Nobody, 7 votes
OK, the goal here was to pick somebody, anybody who could catch DiMaggio. But seven people couldn't even bring themselves to entertain the thought. And frankly, it's hard to blame them, given the circumstances.
A's coach Ron Washington: "You have to have some serious luck. And I think you have to have some serious skill. I don't see anyone out there with the skill that a Joe DiMaggio or even a Pete Rose had. Some of the best in the game have challenged it and can't do it. I don't see where the generation that's coming through right now, with the way they incorporate platoons and more specialized things going on, I just don't see any player out there hitting in 56 straight games. That's one record I just don't see broken."
Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson: "The game's a lot different than it was from then to now. There are so many variables that have to take place. I don't ever see anybody getting close to it."
Cubs assistant hitting coach Eric Hinske: "It'll never be broken. No chance. That record will stand the test of time. Bullpens and the media will never let it be broken, ever. There's no chance."
Mike Trout, 6 votes
This is no nobody. This is the signature player of his place and time. That said, because his increased power came at the expense of his average the past two seasons, only a handful of people named him here.
Mets second baseman Neil Walker: "The first person that came into my head was Mike Trout. If there was a person to do it, it's going to be a person who has speed more than anything. Speed and contact."
Video: Bradley Jr.'s sizzling hit streak of 29 games
Bradley Jr., 5 votes
Definitely some sort of recency bias here, given that Bradley had recently wrapped a long streak when we began surveying the scene. But there's no denying his big league production has come a long way in a short time.
Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong: "That's magical to have that kind of stretch. You look at what Jackie Bradley did -- that was impressive, and what was it, basically half? It's going to be tough to see anyone do it. It has to be someone who can put the bat on the ball and who is quick enough to beat outs on balls. Maybe it's Jackie Bradley."
Miguel Cabrera, 5 votes
Four batting titles in the past five completed seasons, and at age 33, he's still got it.
Red Sox coach Brian Butterfield: "Normally, you'd probably think it's a guy that can run, so if he needs a hit, he can get an infield hit somewhere or maybe bunt. But I'd have to say Miguel Cabrera, because he is one of the better pure hitters in our league. Whenever people start talking about hitting, I always think about Miggy because he's such a difficult guy to deal with defensively. He can go from line to line. I have such great respect for him, and so does our team. He can take a ball in close to his body and shoot it the other way. Then he can take a ball away from him and pull it. He's so difficult to defend. When we are aligning our defense with him, we put everybody straight up. He can do anything with the ball. He's just such a great hitter and he can drive it to any part of the field, with power."
Francisco Lindor, 4 votes
The second-year shortstop has made an instant impact on the Indians. He had 122 hits in 99 games last year and hasn't missed a beat as a sophomore.
Royals coach Mike Jirschele: "He's got speed, goes to all fields and is obviously talented. But he is also a switch-hitter. I think that helps a lot."
Manny Machado, 4 votes
After enduring various knee issues and surgeries early in his career, the outstanding Oriole has solidified himself as one of the premier players in the sport.
Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper (who also picked Victor Martinez): "Low-strikeout guys, put the ball in play a lot, put a lot of pressure on defenses, hit to both sides really well."
Robinson Cano, 4 votes
He's finished with an average above .300 in eight of his 11 completed seasons.
Giants starter Jeff Samardzija: "I've seen him trying to hit singles. That's a lost art."
Video: A look back at Bogaerts' sizzling 26-game hit streak
Xander Bogaerts, 3 votes
More recency bias here, as Bogaerts had a 26-game streak that ended in early June. But this is one of the premier young shortstops in the game.
Astros manager A.J. Hinch: "He can hit the ball the other way and hits the ball low and finds a way to hit the ball to the outfield a lot."
Others receiving votes: Ben Zobrist, Carlos Correa, Dee Gordon, Mookie Betts, Nolan Arenado, Starling Marte, Adam Eaton, Christian Yelich, Devon Travis, Dustin Pedroia, Jason Kipnis, Jean Segura, Joe Mauer, Josh Harrison, Matt Carpenter, Martinez and Zack Cozart.

Prototype: NATO Apps
Created for Covisint, to present to NATO.
As part of their GeoGlam project, Nato is looking for a way to support agriculture and farmers across the world. These two app prototypes were created to present to them possibilities of how the Internet of Things could help both the government officials and farmers keep track of subsidies and crops in their area.
The government version of the app is meant to be used as a way for agriculture officials to keep track of crops and subsidies in various regions of their country. It can also alert them to any potential problems or unusual activity in areas they oversee.
On the farmer's app, we wanted to use IoT to provide precise information about the irrigation, soil levels, and growth of their crops. It would also provide information about pesticide, equipment and seed manufacturers, indicating which products would have the highest probability of yielding a good crop.
These prototypes were the result of many conversations. To the left, the first basic wireframes of the project are shown. I put these together from the initial email request, and then presented them in conversation to try and fill in the knowledge gaps on the project.

talk show. It might be right to say it speech. This is nothing to do with our marks therefore it was completely for our experiences.
Honestly, we participants thought that this was subtle burden because, currently we are very busy for dissertation, photographic project, making own website. However, almost we had no choice.
The talk's style is called "Pecha-Kucha", which means talkative in Japanese therefore speakers can talk casually, without any manuscripts ideally. Its contents are about our photography this time. In fact, most of course mates had own manuscripts and read them when they speech. Of course I was one of them. I really can't imagine without mine. But this is not proper "Pecha-Kucha" already.
My course mates were basically serious. They've introduced their bodies of work quite solemnly. Under massive nervousness, showing 20 slides 20 seconds each, that was what we had to do. So, the core was obvious.
But, I like to break a mould. I prepared my manuscript but I didn't practice reading it as I had no time to do this and also I knew it is just 6m40s, time terminates it automatically. Moreover, humor is one of essential elements to me. Too much seriousness makes audiences bored. Honestly, in my case I haven't got adequate bodies of work to show. Then I just introduced my images chronologically with some humor.
I have not imagined that my talk makes people laugh. But their reactions were truth.
20 seconds were very sort for me. In a sense, my manuscript was rubbish. I could have read more information.
Anyway, it's good experience and over!

With its name, the "9" in HND-9 Concept means that it's the 9th concept model that was developed by the Research and Development division of the Hyundai Motor Group in Namyang, South Korea.
Measuring at 4,695 mm long and 1,890 mm wide the HND-9 Concept is a wee bit longer and wider than the current Genesis Coupe. And in a move to improve CG, overall height is lower by 39 mm. This concept is then equipped with a 370 horsepower 3.3L turbo GDi engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission which will surely create that much-anticipated loud roar when you put the accelerator to the floor. As always, it will be rear-wheel-drive.
Hyundai has a adopted a new "spiral sculpture concept" to shape the HND-9 Concept. Albeit being a derivative of the Fluidic Sculpture design philosophy, it looks nothing close to Hyundai's current roster. Just to point its best features, the HND-9 sports a wide hexagonal front grill, sculpted tail lights, quad tailpipes, butterfly doors, and 22-inch carbon/alloy wheels. It looks absolutely ravishing and could even make some jaws to drop.
Just like the exterior, the HND-9 Concept's interior is a work of art. Hyundai's R&D team really placed a great effort to deliver a modern luxurious feel to it. According to the press release, the seats are covered in a "sporty yet luxurious mesh." But the shape doesn't look that "sporty" in the photo like a true sport bucket seat should.
While Hyundai has yet to confirm that the HND-9 Concept will indeed become the next-generation Genesis Coupe that's due in at least a year's time, the specs and dimensions does seem to point that way. But whatever this luxury sports coupe will shape up to be, I'm sure that any guy who drives it will have an extra 100 pogi points for the girls.

Shame on the CBI for Marans' discharge
In a shocking verdict, the CBI court has discharged all the accused, including former telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran and Sun TV boss Kalanidhi Maran in the illegal telephone exchange case.
The facts of the case stare at the judgment. The undisputed facts, each of which indicate the fraud, are: One, 323 high speed BSNL ISDN telephone lines were found installed in the Boat Club Road residence in Chennai of the Marans from January to May 2007 when Dayanidhi Maran was the telecom minister. Another 400-plus lines were installed in their Gopalapuram residence —making it 764 lines in all. Two, the lines were in the benami name of the Chief General Manager of Chennai Telephones, but in Marans' home.
Three, all the telephones were given separate serial numbers, which were outside the telephone system itself, so their existence was kept secret. Four, the 323 high speed lines installed in the Boat Club Road residence of the Marans were linked by underground cable with Sun TV network.
Five, since the lines were kept outside the system, they were automatically outside the billing and accounting systems as well. Six, since they were out of the accounting system, the user charges of the 323 lines and the over 400 additional lines were not known. Seven, the CBI had estimated that at 70 paise per pulse, the user charges for the 323 lines would have been over Rs 440 crore for the period of installation. Eight, the installation charges paid by the BSNL amounted to just `1.72 crore.
The facts came out because Dayanidhi Maran resigned after the Marans had a tiff with their grand uncle M Karunanidhi who was the then chief minister of Tamil Nadu. But by the time the 2009 general elections came, their relations got repaired and the CBI officer who investigated the case was transferred and hounded. The investigation that was then being done by the Chennai team was transferred to Delhi.
Even after the matter was exposed by The New Indian Express in June 2011, the probe did not pick up. I had to move the Supreme Court to get the CBI register an FIR in December 2013, which they were not willing to do earlier. But when the Marans were to be arrested in the case, they approached the judiciary and a court observed that it was just a civil case and the amount of loss was just Rs 1.7 crore. This was because the CBI never disclosed the real loss. The CBI was supposed to get the real user charges from the national gateway details in Hyderabad, which it did not. The CBI was never sincere about this prosecution from the day the honest investigating officer was transferred out.
What has happened now is a travesty of justice. The Special Court has said that there is no charge to be framed and the Marans are innocent. That a case like this has been handled so casually by the CBI is shocking and that the Special Court has not found the case fit enough even for trial is even more shocking.
The installation of hundreds of lines outside the system is a national security risk. And at that time there was a huge war in Sri Lanka with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in which India was strategically involved. There was also the shadow of arrest of a former DMK minister who was earlier booked under the National Security Act for harbouring the LTTE. None of these issues were brought to the notice of the court in the chargesheet, which does not even mention the user charges. It was a prosecution launched to lose the case.
If the CBI and the Central government are sincere about cleaning the polity of corruption and abuse of power, this case has to be taken up seriously. The CBI ought to file an appeal against the discharge and make further probe, get the details of user charges, fix the losses involved and prosecute the case in the right earnest.
The Marans who are now boasting about their victory ran away from filing a defamation suit, which they threatened The New Indian Express with in June, 2011. TNIE accepted the challenge with an article "Welcome, Mr Maran". The CBI has now made them claim to be honest. It is a tragedy.

In 1901, King Gillette, building an idea of the latter half of the nineteenth century, invented a safety razor with disposable blades (1). A host of disposable products followed including, cameras, tissues, paper cups, and diapers, until today, the disposable good is a common, and almost indispensable feature of society (2). Disposable goods offer a certain convenience, but have three aspects that, when considered, say something about the society that uses them with such abandon.
First, one has no obligation or responsibility to a disposable good; second, disposable goods are replaceable. One disposable razor or cup is as good as another. Finally, disposable goods are cheap, both in cost to obtain them and in the value people place on them. Even non disposable goods can become disposable. One recent writer, for instance, has remarked that people do not typically dispose of their computer because it has failed, but because a new one that seemed more desirable appeared on the market (3).
Today, however, it is not only goods that are disposable; rather, over the course of the 20th century, people too have become disposable. A divorce rate of approximately 50%, the commonness of extramarital sex and multiple partners, the high rate of abortion, and the various genocides over the course of the century make it impossible to deny that people today have become disposable. Why? Among several reasons, two stand out. One that I do not have space to fully discuss is the divorce between what Fulton Sheen calls, "freedom from" and "freedom for." The former concerns freedom from external constraint, the latter concerns the purpose of that freedom (4). The other is the "God is dead" materialism that pervades modern society. Man is only random collections of particles in a random universe. He is only matter, and because he is only matter, he does not matter. One cannot believe in a purpose for freedom, because there is no purpose to anything, and so liberty becomes license. Neither can one believe in a person's objective moral value; on materialism, persons have none. And so in a materialist society (whether ancient Roman or modern Western), people become disposable.
One area in which Man's disposability is clear is sex. Here, one disposable good, the condom, helps to make people disposable. The connection between the increasing use of birth control, materialism, and Man's disposability over the twentieth century is no coincidence.
The condom allows rejection of responsibility associated with sex and hence causes a divorce between the persons involved. Fertile sex entails significant responsibility. If a woman becomes pregnant, her ability to work may be limited, she will need to be supported, and so will the child. The condom allows "safe sex," the rejection of this responsibility, and when responsibility is rejected, love is rejected. The two always go together, when one goes, so goes the other. "Safe sex" is absurd, but "safe love" does not even exist. Real love always burns bridges behind it. When love and responsibility are rejected, then the woman (or man), becomes replaceable. One woman (or man), is just as good as another, and when one is just as good as another, then one is just as worthless as another. So people become cheap. Sex now is simply a matter of scratching an itch and one's partner becomes a mere scratching post. The commonness of premarital and promiscuous sex today testify to the truth of this. With responsibility rejected, people become replaceable, and they become cheap.
Children too have been disposable. Once a necessary part of a marital relationship, they are now a part of the responsibility that modernity rejects. Now they are only an optional (and often undesirable) side effect, a side effect that if not avoided, can be destroyed.
Historians once thought that people in the Middle Ages loved their children less because of high child mortality rates. There is no evidence for this. There is, however, substantial evidence that parents and people today do love children less. They are less willing to have them, and more willing to destroy them. Children are cheap. In a material cosmos a person's value is purely subjective, that is to say, dependant on what people think. Thus, in Pagan Antiquity, a child was not a person until the father picked him up. Similarly, in Pagan Modernity, a child is not a person until the mother decides to keep him. 4,000 abortions every day testify to how cheap human life has become.
Other examples might be given, but these suffice to show the trend. To a society fond of disposable goods, one more disposable good has been added, the person. Rejecting responsibility in the name of liberty, human life has become replaceable, and it has become cheap. This it ought never to have been, and it must not be if humanity is to remain human. Otherwise, we will find that we are increasingly living in a world of disposable goods, and disposable people.

"Freedom from" would describe how a person must not be externally contrained, while "freedom for" would describe the purpose, such as being free to choose a spouse. Today, however, the two are divided and people insist on "freedom from" while denying the purpose of that freedom. Hence the commonness of pre-marital and promiscuous sex.

Jim McColl of Clyde Blowers backs Scottish independence
One of Scotland's most influential business leaders has declared his support for an independent Scotland.
Clyde Blowers chairman Jim McColl said the Scottish government's efforts to turn the economy around were being "constrained" by the lack of economic powers at its disposal.
He also claimed the UK government had failed to recognise the importance of the construction industry.
He said that suggested Scotland needed "the levers of full economic control".
Mr McColl, who is a member of the Scottish government's Council of Economic Advisers, has previously called for greater fiscal control to be devolved to Scotland, but this is the first time he has expressed support for full independence.
His comments come a few days after the Scottish government laid out its plans for a referendum on independence with a Referendum Bill.
A cabinet reshuffle also saw Nicola Sturgeon moved from health secretary and handed an infrastructure portfolio, along with a new role overseeing the referendum.
In an article in the Scotsman newspaper, Mr McColl said Scotland's economy would "continue to flatline" unless there was a policy shift by Chancellor George Osborne which stimulated growth, particularly in the construction sector.
He said he welcomed the Scottish government's policy since 2008 to bring forward "substantial" infrastructure investment.
He continued: "They are making substantial efforts to set an economic direction tailored to the distinct economic characteristics of Scotland.
"However, they are constrained in their ability to influence events by two major factors. First, the lack of economic powers at their disposal.
"Secondly, by a UK government policy which fails to recognise the importance of the construction industry and real upfront public investment."
Mr McColl added: "The significance of these constraints for the future of our domestic industry and the associated jobs suggests to me that we require the levers of full economic control.
"I have argued that full fiscal autonomy should be offered to Scots in a referendum. However, no such option is gaining enough support to be realised in time to make the difference we all want to see for this and future generations.
"It appears that only independence as defined by the Scottish government, an independent nation within this social union and common market of the UK, will allow England and Scotland to pursue distinct economic policies in the face of different demands and competitive pressures."
'Widely respected'
First Minister Alex Salmond welcomed Mr McColl's support for independence.
"Jim McColl is one of Scotland's most successful business figures and job creators, and his opinions are widely respected across the country," he said.
"This is a hugely significant intervention in the debate on Scotland's future and I welcome his comments, which will only help to persuade more people of the need for an independent Scotland with the economic tools we need to create jobs and prosperity."
Mr McColl's comments followed claims by the chancellor that the SNP had not addressed the financial consequences of Scottish independence.
He said that included basic questions about Scotland's currency and monetary policy.
In a speech to business leaders at a CBI Scotland dinner on Thursday, he also argued independence would mean higher interest rates for households and businesses.

The Smith Optics Stage 5 on Campbell Mountain in Penticton got underway today on a spectacular morning on the shores of Lake Okanagan.
The sharp-end of the field got busy immediately stepping on the gas up the climb to the top of the mountain as they knew they had a race on their hands.
After a number of route complications on the course resulting in timing discrepancies, it was decided by the organizers to neutralize the stage and maintain all rider's standings from Stage 4 heading into tomorrow's final leg, Stage 6.
Riders still managed to experience the full worth of Campbell Mountain today enjoying the punchy climbs, chalky dry singletrack and bomber final descent into town past the impressive vineyards in Canada's wine country.
Despite the outcome of today we still have a major battle on our hands among the GC heading into the final stage with seemingly bullet-proof Cory Wallace (Kona) chased by the cool and calm Texan, Tristan Uhl (competitivecyclist.com).
Remember that battle unfolding in the women's GC to fill up the podium? It's still on and the ladies are raring to go as we wrap up 2015 ST6 tomorrow.
Stay tuned to see how the GC's unfold on the final stage starting at 7AM as riders hunt that finish line searching for their piece of glory.
Tomorrow's Stage:
Starting on the shores of Lake Okanagan, riders head up toward the 3 Blind Mice Trail before playing on the quick and flowing singletrack that this wildly popular trail has to offer.
After conquering the timed descent and hearing the calls of Lake Okanagan at the finish, Riders will head back on the historical Kettle Valley Trail (KVR) for a few kilometers before finishing with a dip in the lake's refreshing waters.
Riders can head over to The Bike Barn right down the road from the finish for a bike wash and a beer to celebrate their finish of six tough days of riding followed by the big party and final banquet tomorrow night.
Full results here.

- YogaYoga is a set of practices and principles for individual's comprehensive wellbeing and spiritual growth. Yoga is not only physical stretches and exercises, as commonly is misunderstood, but an age-old intuitive science, that helps us to get to know our innermost self, and to express our potentialities to the highest. This involves the moral and ethical principles of yoga, such as non-violence, the physical yoga postures, or asanas, and various meditation practices. Yoga asanas are gentle and controlled yogic practices, in which movement of the body is synchronised with breathing. The asanas are simple to learn and easy to perform. The practice of yoga has its roots in ancient India where these postures were called asanas, which means "posture." We teach yoga practices of varying difficulty suitable for both women and men of all ages. The effects of asana practice The internal organs and the endocrine glandular system are gently massaged, stretched and squeezed, in a way which brings the hormonal system of the body into balance. This together with strengthening the nervous system is the main way in which yoga brings physical and mental balance. Ananda Marga's system of yoga consists of complementary practices which help the individual to…
- MeditationWhat kind of meditation? We offer teaching in the classical meditation technique of mantra meditation, coming from the tantras, meaning liberation. Meditation is a process of concentrated thinking. In essence mantra meditation means the release from worldly constraints through concentration on a given idea. There is also the opportunity to develop your meditation technique and to learn various forms of concentration, breathing control and other elements for deeper meditation. Mantra Mantra meditation is a powerful resource that helps guide the mind on a set path and keeping the mind engaged with a single idea. Sound has the strongest effect on the mind of all the senses, and so the internal sound of a mantra is the most powerful way of concentrating the mind. It focuses the mind on a particular idea – the feeling of infinite peace and happiness. Goal of meditation A common reason why people practice meditation is to relax, but that is actually not the purpose of meditation, just a side effect. The goal of meditation can be described as Self Realisation. When we meditate, we will gradually discover that consciousness, our own conscoiusness is infinite. How some people experience benefits from meditation A feeling of more mental peace Getting more emotionally balanced…
- CommunityOne of the greatest supports through the ups and downs of ones spiritual growth is time spent with others who are treading the path of meditation. In Ananda Marga Copenhagen we have a fantastic community, open for everybody, where we support and share our common interest in spirituality and meditation. Group meditations Every Sunday at 4 pm, we offer colective meditation. This is called Dharmachakra. It provides an opportunity to feel the collective energy, when meditating together. Most people feel that collective meditation gives them a deeper meditation. At Dharmachakra, we also sing together using our mantra BABA NAM KEVALAM, and a spiritual discourse is given for inspiration to our spiritual path and growth. BABA NAM KEVALAM is a sanskrit mantra, meaning Love Is All There Is. Retreats We organize retreats on a regular basis, allowing the participants to go deeper into their spiritual practise, and having a great social experience. Usually a retreat will contain yoga, meditation, lectures, delicious vegetarian food,walks in nature and many other lovely activities. It will normally take place at our farm on the beautiful country side of Holbæk. Womens meditation At the moment we also have collective meditation only for women, once a month in each others homes. We share a female energi, and enjoy and strengthen our relationship. Jagriti life Opportunity…

A diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes is your body's way of telling you that you've already put off taking care of your body for too long and that you had better get started now. Heed the message and the diagnosis can mark a positive turning point in your life that will result in a longer, healthier and happier life. Ignore it and you could be headed for all kinds of misery such as blindness, amputations and heart disease along with a greatly shortened life to name just a few of the possible complications that can result from poor Type 2 Diabetes management.
While some people have a genetic predisposition to insulin resistance, a primary factor in Type 2 Diabetes, in most cases it's the lifestyle that turns that predisposition into a reality. The combination of poor nutritional habits and a sedentary lifestyle is why obesity and Type 2 Diabetes are at epidemic levels in the US today. There is good news however… you can choose how your Type 2 Diabetes affects you.
Successful Type 2 Diabetes management is 95% the responsibility of the patient with their doctor providing the other 5% in the form of prescription medication along with regular check-ups and blood tests. Unfortunately, statistics indicate that about 70% of Type 2 Diabetes patients take very little or no personal responsibility for their Type 2 Diabetes management beyond taking their medication or insulin shots. They may cut down a little on the sugar or carbohydrates but really don't make any significant changes in their diet and don't add exercise of any consequence to their daily routine. As a result, they continue to have unacceptably high A1C blood test results.
Successful Type 2 Diabetes management involves some very simple steps. If you drastically reduce the amount of carbohydrates in your diet, lose weight and exercise daily, you can have A1C levels that will be well below what is recommended by the American Diabetic Association. I know what you're probably thinking right now so let me add…I said the steps were simple… I didn't say they were easy.
To make the kind of changes necessary in your lifestyle to successfully manage your Type 2 Diabetes, you first need to decide that you want to be as healthy as possible for the rest of your life and that you want the rest of your life to be as long as possible. Being a man of faith myself, I look forward to an afterlife but, since I know it will be there regardless of when I get there, I want to keep enjoying this life for as long as I can.
Being a Type 2 Diabetic myself, I know what you're going through and I know what it takes make the changes necessary to successfully manage Type 2 Diabetes. My A1C levels are routinely in the 5.4% level, well below the under 7% level recommended by the ADA and, since my diagnosis in Feb of this year, I have lost 70 lbs and reduced the amount of medication I require to 25% of my initial dosage using the same hypnotherapy and NLP techniques I use with my clients.
As a professional Hypnotherapist and Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner I know how difficult it can be to change lifelong behaviors. It it was easy, hypnosis as a therapeutic model might not even exist. If you have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and are struggling to make the changes necessary to enjoy a healthier and longer life, then consider using hypnosis to help get you there.
Remember, the unconscious mind has a powerful effect on most behavior, including eating and hypnotherapy and NLP have been shown to be highly effective ways of permanently modifying behavior at the unconscious level.

Every January the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism holds a series of one-off seminars for students and alumni who want to learn a little bit about topics they may have overlooked in their studies. The school generously allows prospective students who have applied to sit in too. Earlier this week I took the first of three I signed up for, "Smart Photos with Smartphones."
So yeah, I spent three hours this week learning how to take pictures with my phone.
Despite how it sounds, the class what was actually very helpful. I have absolutely no training as a photographer. Sure, I know the terms – Exposure, Aperture, Shutter Speed, etc, etc – but that doesn't mean I know what to do with them. Even with the limited capabilities allowed by a smartphone, I would not describe my pictures as "professional," even when shooting for work.
There were only ten people in a classroom meant to hold double that, so I guess it wasn't the most popular choice. It was an interesting mix of people, though: About half of us were prospective students, there were two current J-School students, plus a couple of alumni - one was in her twenties, the other was probably in her late 40s - and a journalism professor from Brooklyn College.
Meanwhile, our professor, Scott Mlyn, is a pretty well credentialed guy: He was a photo editor for BusinessWeek and AP (That's the Associated Press, folks) before picking up the academic gig.
I bring it up because, while the class title may have said it was for "smartphones" in general, the lesson plan was clearly designed specifically around using an iPhone. It wasn't really a problem: Only two people had Android phones, and Mlyn had a some stock Android slides and a theoretical understanding of how the software works.
(Side Note: We didn't discuss hardware much, but teach preferred the iPhone for a reason. From the phones I've tested and reviews I've read, there is not a current Android phone with a comparable camera. If you need a non-iPhone and the camera your number one priority, Microsoft's Lumia series is your best choice.)
Based on the class, learning to take good pictures on your phone isn't about learning photography techniques as much as it is about figuring out to trick the phone's automatic features into taking the picture correctly. There were a bunch of little things you should (or shouldn't) do to make sure your photos look good, but there was really just one tool we learned about that really feels like it allows you to actively take better pictures:
It's called the Auto Exposure/Auto Focus Lock. You use it to pre-determine how bright your picture is going to be.
To use this feature well, it helps to know what about photo's Exposure, so here's my extremely feeble overview: Exposure, which refers to amount of light the camera is going to take in when it takes the picture. Professionals use an incident meter to register it manually, but smartphones - and digital cameras set to "auto" - do it by scanning how much light bounces off whatever its looking at. Because it's an approximation, sometimes cameras get it wrong: Pictures of white walls tend to come out dark no matter how well lit the room is, and pictures of darks walls always come out too light.
Ok, now this is how it works:
When you open the camera on your iPhone, you'll notice that yellow square in the middle: That's the focus tool. If you've fiddled with it you may have figured out that if you click on a part of the screen, the photo will be clearest in that area when you take your picture. What you may not know - or at least I didn't - is that the focus tool is also changes the photo's exposure. If you press and hold that spot you want for a few seconds, eventually the square will "blink" twice. When you let go, there will be a small yellow square that says "AE/AF Lock." It looks like this:
Once locked, the light and focal point of your photo will stay the same, no matter how weird the lighting gets. For example, If I take a picture of you wearing a baseball cap on a sunny day, chances are the photo will be too bright, because your shaded face will be darker than everything else in the picture. So before I take that picture of you and your stupid-ass hat, I'm going to find an evenly lit area, lock the focus, then take the picture with your face in the spot where I aimed the square. (It might help to frame the photo first, find where you want the focus to be and aim accordingly when you pick your lighting.)
There are more advanced camera apps for both iOS (Camera+) and Android (Camera Awesome) that allow you to lock the Exposure and Focus separately, but they cost a few bucks. Maybe you should just stick to this for now...
For the last 30 minutes of class, the professor critiqued our photos. That one of the lock up there? Yeah, he really liked that one. But this one?
That said, even the ones he didn't praise as much - He didn't actively dislike anything - looked much better than any photos I've ever taken with a phone. They look like winners to me... Well, most of them do.
Considering it's been a few years since I sat through any kind of formal class, I was pleasantly surprised to find it way more engaging than I remember. If this is what J-School is going to be like, I think it's going to be much better than my past educational experiences. Then again, maybe I just like phones that much.

We respect your privacy, and we want you to know how we use the information you provide to us. This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") applies to your use of our website located at http://lastfitnessnews.com/ (the "Site").
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting our Site and using our articles and site ("Services"), you agree that your information, including your personal information, will be treated as described in this Privacy Policy, which is also incorporated by the reference into the Terms of Use.
We have adopted this Privacy Policy to explain what information may be collected through the Services, how we and our parents, subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "Affiliated Companies"), as well as successors and related companies, use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties.
Information We Collect
Our Services typically collect two kinds of information about you: (a) information that you provide that personally identifies you; and (b) information that does not personally identify you that we automatically collect when you visit our Services or that you provide us.
(1) Personally Identifiable Information:
Our definition of personally identifiable information includes any information that may be used to specifically identify or contact you, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, etc. As a general policy, we do not automatically collect your personally identifiable information when you visit our Services. In certain circumstances, we may request, allow or otherwise provide you with an opportunity to submit your personally identifiable information in connection with a feature, program promotion, or some other aspect of our Services. For instance, you may: (a) provide your name and email address when posting a comment; (b) provide certain demographic information about you (e.g., age, gender, usage frequency, etc.) when participating in a survey, poll; or (c) send a general comment and/or recommendation on our Services through Contact Us form. Whether you provide this information is your choice; however, in many instances this type of information is required to participate in the particular activity, realize a benefit we may offer, or gain access to certain content on our Services.
(2) Non-Personal Information:
Non-personal information can include certain personally identifiable information that has been de-identified; that is, information that has been rendered anonymous. We obtain non-personal information about you from information that you provide us, either separately or together with your personally identifiable information. We also automatically collect certain non-personal information from you when you access our Services. This information can include, among other things, IP addresses, the type of browser you are using (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.), the third party website from which your visit originated, the operating system you are using (e.g., Vista, Windows XP, Mac OS, etc.), the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., America Online, NetZero, etc.), the search terms you use on our Services, the specific web pages you visit, and the duration of your visits.
(3) Device Location Information:
We may collect different types of information about your location, including general information such as IP address or zip code and more specific information such as the GPS-based functionality used to access the Services. We may use that information to customize the Services with location-based information, advertising, and features.
How We Use The Information Collected
(1) Personally Identifiable Information:
The personally identifiable information you submit to us is generally used to carry out your requests, respond to your inquiries, better serve you, or in other ways naturally associated with the circumstances in which you provided the information. We may also use this information to later contact you for a variety of reasons, such as customer service, providing you promotional information for our products or those of our Affiliated Companies, or to communicate with you about content or other information you have posted or shared with us via our Services.
(2) Non-Personal Information:
We use non-personal information in a variety of ways, including helping analyze site traffic, understand customer needs and trends, carry out targeted promotional activities, and to improve our services. We may use your non-personal information by itself or aggregate it with information we have obtained from others. We may share your non-personal information with our Affiliated Companies and third parties to achieve these objectives and others, but remember that aggregate information is anonymous information that is not intended to personally identify you.
(3) IP Addresses:
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Internet. Web servers (computers that "serve up" web pages) automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When visitors request pages from our Services, our servers typically log their IP addresses. We collect IP addresses for purposes of system administration, to report non-personal aggregate information to others, and to track the use of our Services. IP addresses are considered non-personal information and may also be shared as provided above. It is not our practice to link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable; that is, the visitor's session will be logged, but the visitor remains anonymous to us. However, we reserve the right to use IP addresses to identify a visitor when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our Services' rules or to: (a) fulfill a government request; (b) conform with the requirements of the law or legal process; (c) protect or defend our legal rights or property, our Services, or other users; or (d) in an emergency to protect the health and safety of our Services' users or the general public.
(4) Cookies, etc.:
"Cookies" are small text files from a website that are stored on your hard drive. These text files make using our Services more convenient by, among other things, saving your passwords and preferences for you. Cookies themselves do not typically contain any personally identifiable information. We may analyze the information derived from these cookies and other technological tools we employ (such as clear gifs/web beacons) and match this information with data provided by you or another party. We may provide our analysis and certain non-personal information to third parties (who may, in turn, use this information to provide advertisements tailored to your interests), but this will not involve disclosing any of your personally identifiable information. Please note that advertisers that serve advertisements on our Services and third-party content providers that serve content on our Services may also use their own cookies and other technological tools which are subject to such advertiser's and/or content provider's privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.
When using one of our mobile applications, you may receive tailored in-application advertisements. Each operating system, Android for Android devices, iOS for Apple phones, and Windows for Microsoft devices provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. Review the support materials and/or the privacy settings for the respective operating systems in order to opt-out of tailored in-application advertisements. For any other devices and/or operating systems, visit the privacy settings for the applicable device or contact the applicable platform operator.
(5) Email Communications:
If you send us an email with questions or comments, we may use your personally identifiable information to respond to your questions or comments, and we may save your questions or comments for future reference. For security reasons, we do not recommend that you send non-public personal information, such as passwords, social security numbers, or bank account information, to us by email. In certain instances, we may provide you with the option to set your preferences for receiving email communications from us; that is, agree to some communications but not others. You may "opt out" of receiving future commercial email communications from us by following the instructions at the bottom of most commercial emails we send, or as provided below; provided, however, we reserve the right to send you transactional emails such as customer service communications.
Security, Retention and Storage of Information:
We use commercially reasonable procedures to protect the personally-identifying information that we collect. No security system is impenetrable, however. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.

Other Sites/Links:
Our Services may link to or contain links to other third-party websites that we do not control or maintain, such as in connection with purchasing products referenced on our Services and banner advertisements. We are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by any third-party website. We encourage you to note when you leave our Services and to read the privacy statements of all third-party websites before submitting any personally identifiable information.

Strider, the 2014 update of the established series of the same name, is a largely unremarkable and unpolished exploration platformer in the vein of Super Metroid. It has several strong features, but at the same time they feel underdeveloped and are rarely used in ways which innovate the genre.
Its short length in terms of initial exploration means that the open-world exploration comes surprisingly quickly, but by the same token it comes before the player has really had much opportunity to use or master any of their newly-acquired abilities. This is in part due to the reliance on long chases and linear level design; the progression of the story drives the player through numerous areas without much opportunity to explore. Rather than acquiring an item and then returning through the area to use it, often the game will throw the player into a new area they may only visit a small part of with their current suite of upgrades immediately after making a first trip through one.
This would be fine if the game's map layout was logical, or if it had any kind of usable fast-travel or shortcut system. Instead the emphasis is on walking through lengthy areas with respawning enemies to try and reach shortcuts that are not clearly marked as going from one area to another (instead they are a blue or red warp point which the player must note down the end location of) and – in the game's most severe layout fault – often items are missably placed within long gauntlet areas which must be done in their entirety each time one attempts to grab the item. Thus playing Strider is a frustrating process of remembering which similar-looking corridor goes where, with a map that is useful for noting locations within a zone, but not within providing a good sense of how zones interconnect.
The locations are largely distinctive, if not exactly charming (a good number are simply grey-blue corridors with different military/sci-fi themes, making the variety of a factory, lava-filled cave and ancient temple welcome), but are at the same time brought down by a lack of enemy variety. A game like Super Metroid had enemies that felt varied between areas, and at the least had a good variety of types. Strider has three regular enemy models – a flying drone, a marine and a large mech – supplemented by a few area-specific enemy types in turrets, a larger mech and a small crab. Bullet patterns change, but ultimately the lack of visual variety is telling.
Visually the game is curious; it has a cel-shaded aesthetic that does some interesting things (heavily outlined, 2D-anime esque smoke effects look very good) but suffers when depicting character models, looking like a sub-par imitation of Street Fighter IV – and this is exacerbated by the model viewer unlocked as a secret. The effect is reasonable from a distance, but poor close-up, where akward idle animations and generally inconsistent model quality are obvious.
Ultimately its worst sin in aesthetics, however, is how hard it can be when the screen is full of particle effects to keep track of the player's location. In boss fights, where screen-filling enemies and attacks are frequent, losing track of the player's location generally results in a frustrating, undeserved death. This is compounded by the lack of easily-spotted feedback for damage; it is hard to tell from how the character model reacts how damaging an attack is, meaning the player must look to the health bar (distracting them from the precise positioning needed for the boss fights in question.) All told it is a messy system of visuals so busy that they impede gameplay.
On top of this, the mechanics of the game itself are at best unremarkable and at worst actively punishing. The controls are loose and awkward, with precision platforming sections often marred by an over-aggressive wall or ceiling grab – or the opposite, where the character moves almost uncontrollably to jump into a trap because the input to move up a wall was not properly received. Some of the game's optional puzzles require immensely difficult precision jumping with a wall-jump and air-dash combination that is unresponsive and awkward – going well past deserved difficulty into frustration. Similarly a series of Mario Galaxy-like microgravity sections have unintuitive and awkward jumping controls which ruin a potentially interesting quirk of gameplay.
Again returning to Super Metroid as a comparison; that game had equally challenging platforming sections, but reliable controls and physics that made them rewarding not frustrating. What the game also lacks is a real sense of exploration; while there are doors that require items to open and backtracking, most of the time they offer only a small number of rooms to solve for a single item. The individual levels are very discrete, which creates a far stronger sense of linearity over open-worldedness.
In terms of the selection of items available, there is a comparatively small number and most are variants on the three actual weapons gained – sword, throwing-knives and air dash. Each has four Metroid analogous elements – ice, fire, a purple homing attack similar to the Wave Beam and a default mode which can imprecisely deflect bullets. Three special weapons are also gained, and these quite ruin the combat balance; one is so powerful there is no reason not to use it to defeat bosses in short order, and once energy and ammunition upgrades are collected it becomes the dominant weapon.
There are moments when Strider is very fun; the basic combat is enjoyable, using the different elements in combination is easy, and moving around the levels should be fluid and dynamic. The boss fights are for the most part interesting, with only one or two really frustrating or poorly designed. However as a complete package it is lacking; the platforming, while fluid in low-stress situations is awkward and imprecise when it needs to be spot-on. The visuals do not hold up to scrutiny but look reasonable in motion. The items are formulaic and poorly-balanced, but at the same time work well at times.
Overall it is hard to recommend the game – those aspects it does well are ultimately such fundamental aspects of its genre that were they not adequately done it would be worthless. Yet there is, even so, some entertainment to be gained from it – when the frustrations do not show themselves, there is the sense that it is an enjoyable game.

The Commerce Department reports on the U.S. trade deficit for December. The report will be released Thursday at 8:30 a.m. Eastern.
SMALLER GAP: The expectation is that the trade deficit narrowed slightly to $38 billion in December, according to a survey of economists by data firm FactSet.
Continue Reading Below
EXPORTS AND IMPORTS: In November, the trade deficit fell to $39 billion, the lowest level in almost a year thanks to the country's swiftly shrinking foreign oil bill.
A big decline in the price of oil has helped trim the overall deficit even though U.S. exports have fallen, a reflection of global economic weakness and the rising value of the dollar. A stronger dollar makes U.S. products more expensive in overseas markets and foreign goods cheaper for U.S. consumers.
While economists believe lower oil prices will help the trade picture in 2015 as well, they are still forecasting the deficit will widen a bit as faster growth in the United States attracts more imports while U.S. exporters continue to struggle with the impact of weaker growth overseas and a stronger dollar.
The overall economy grew at a moderate 2.6 percent rate in the final three months of 2014 after turning in a sizzling 5 percent growth rate in the July-September period. Part of the slowdown reflected a swing in trade, which boosted growth by 0.8 percentage point in the third quarter but reduced growth by 1 percentage point in the fourth quarter.
For the whole year, trade was a small negative, trimming growth by 0.2 percentage point. The economy grew 2.4 percent in 2014 and many economists believe growth in 2015 will be slightly above 3 percent, giving the country the best growth in a decade.
The politically sensitive deficit with China, the largest imbalance the United States has with any country, was on track for a record in 2014.
That's created pressure on Congress and the Obama administration to take tougher actions against what critics see as China's unfair trade practices. U.S. manufacturers contend that China is manipulating its currency to keep it artificially low against the dollar as a way to make American products more expensive in China's market and Chinese products cheaper in the United States.
The widening trade deficit comes at a time when the administration is hoping to finally get Congress to approve the fast-track authority it needs to wrap up a major 12-nation trade agreement with Pacific Rim countries known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
The administration sees the trade deal as one of the areas where he may be able to find common ground with Republicans, who now for the first time in his presidency control both houses of Congress.

TV3 will air V in Ireland as part of their new fall line-up.
TV3 is a free-to-air television channel in Ireland, and was the country's first commercial broadcaster. It launched on September 20, 1998.TV3 is operated by the TV3 Group which also consists of 3e and tv3.ie. The main studios of TV3 are located in Ballymount, Dublin.
The channel broadcasts 24 hours each day. It relies heavily on international programming, in particular much of its prime time schedule is filled with shows from the UK's ITV under a long term contract. Under their contract with the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI) TV3 are required since 2008 to have 30% of their programming coming from Ireland, TV3 have done this through their Daytime schedule producing nearly 7 hours a day of live programming. They have a small staff of 200 employees to run two TV channels and one on-demand online service. This often means that the quality of programming isn't of high standard and is relatively cheap to make, on average TV3 spend about €10million on in-house productions which are generally aimed at the daytime market. They do not have a history of strong prime-time content, generally their home produce shows consist of at least one Independently produced show e.g. The Apprentice, a number of in-house documentaries such as Ireland Undercover and a number of BCI licence fee funded Independent products such as School Run,Diary of... and Modern Ireland.
TV3 will air V shortly after the American broadcasting. The date and time of broadcasting of V on TV3 is still to be announced however they have started showing clips of V in their fall line-up advertisements.
