T+2 shortened settlement cycle update: Trade processing has been added to your bookmarks.
T+2 shortened settlement cycle update: Trade processing
Are your T+2 trade processing changes on track?
Q1 2016 is behind us and the migration to a shortened settlement cycle (T+2) is fast approaching. To be ready for industry testing—and to meet the targeted migration data of September 5, 2017—organizations should be completely finished with development, implementation, and internal testing of their modified trading systems, reference data, and trade processes by the end of 2016. Between now and then, there is a lot of work to do, and not much time to do it.
Getting started
The move to a T+2 shortened settlement cycle will have a significant impact on systems and processes across a wide range of areas, from order management through post-settlement. While the individual changes are expected to be relatively straightforward, their sheer breadth and volume make it important to stay on schedule.
For organizations just getting started, a good first step is to conduct a thorough trade processing assessment—including a complete inventory of affected processes—to help identify required activities and resources and budget for additional resources, hardware, and software. When planning, organizations should also consider the availability of IT personnel with in-depth knowledge of their internal trading systems (including legacy systems). Early review of trade processing could also provide opportunities to improve your organization's operating infrastructure and transform the way your organization effectively addresses business, technology, and operational risk.
Where do you stand?
To determine if your T+2 shortened settlement cycle migration efforts related to trade processing are currently on track, ask yourself the following questions:
Unless you can confidently answer all these questions, your T+2 team might need to pick up the pace. Lagging behind could have significant consequences for your organization's reputation and financial results, including trades that fail because they cannot be settled in a compliant manner within the required timeframe.
Critical issues to consider
As your organization prepares to execute the required changes starting in Q2 2016, there are a number of issues to consider at various points throughout the trade lifecycle.
Order entry and trade capture
Organizations should take a hard look at how they pool trades for order entry management and then determine if these processes need to be completed more quickly for T+2 settlement. Also, manual order entry processes and procedures should be reviewed and updated as needed. Coordination with vendors and service bureaus will likely be necessary to determine if any of their processes for order-entry management and trade capture need to be changed. Other important considerations include mutual fund "ack/nak" procedures and the timing for resolving "nak" trades to maintain the correct price and settlement.
Payment mechanisms and trade funding
Check and Automated Clearing House (ACH) processing will need to be completed more quickly to ensure cleared funds are available for settlement on T+2. Also, it is important to consider any changes that might be required to trade funding processes and procedures (and the subsequent education and communication that will be necessary to keep customers informed). Although the changes in this area are expected to be relatively simple, even small changes can create a significant amount of risk.
Trade matching and affirmation
The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has new cut-off times for trade matching and affirmation in Real-Time Trade Matching (RTTM) and Omgeo. Organizations need to look both at legacy and vendor or service bureau systems and processes to ensure the new deadlines can be met. Also, changes to trade matching and affirmation may require changes to service level agreements and procedures. When implementing changes for T+2, organizations should review the percentage of trades that are currently not matched quickly enough to meet the new, shorter deadlines. They should then determine if any changes are needed to internal controls and policies in order to decrease the number of failed trades.
Physical securities delivery
Organizations should consider what percentage of their trades involve physical securities. They should also consider what percentage of physical securities are for sale and determine whether to increase efforts to dematerialize remaining physical securities.
Stay tuned
The SEC has indicated support for the planned transition to a T+2 shortened settlement cycle and expects to issue preliminary proposed rules by the second quarter of 2016. In the meantime, other regulators—including FINRA, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and various self-regulatory organizations—have already submitted notifications of proposed rule changes to the SEC.
The migration to T+2 is an important breakthrough for the financial services industry and as such, it is important to get it right. Financial services providers that fail or fall behind could be in a difficult position as the rest of the industry moves forward. That being said, the good news for organizations just getting started is that it is not too late to pursue an accelerated implementation plan and get caught up on the critical path.

What is methodology in sociology
Briefly to summarize the contributions of Small to sociology which are embodied in his books, we should give first place to his work as a historian of sociological thought. Here be has been the most voluminous American contributor, and has rendered a real service in interpreting the developments of Germanic social science in such a fashion as to be of the greatest possible utility to American readers. This was an achievement of the highest importance, and in all probability was one which would not have been performed at all if Small had not executed it. He was also a tireless worker in promoting the cause of sociology in all of his writings. No other American writer devoted as much attention and energy to the program of justifying the existence of sociology as a subject of academic and professional standing and importance. He has been the leading propagandist of sociology in this country, employing the term "propagandist" in its best sense as a form of highly animated and enthusiastic education. He was likewise an indefatigable contributor to the indispensable, if somewhat thankless field of delimiting and justifying the province of sociology, and stating what he believed to be its objectives. If these last two contributions are interpreted, as Small himself interpreted them, to mean an elucidation of the problems of sociological methodology, then he has been our most voluminous contributor to this department of sociological endeavor.
(33) -tions." Some may object that the present writer is too narrow or technical in his definition of sociological methodology, but even if we concede that Small was correct in his conception of this field we must admit that, except in the politico-economic province, he wrote and talked primarily sociological method instead of indicating just what it is.
Sociology is the scientific study of society
Sociological Methodology is a compendium of new and sometimes controversial advances in social science methodology. Contributions come from diverse areas and have something useful -- and often surprising -- to say about a wide range of topics ranging from legal and ethical issues surrounding data collection to the methodology of theory construction. In short, Sociological Methodology holds something of value -- and an interesting mix of lively controversy, too -- for nearly everyone who participates in the enterprise of sociological research.
Sociological Research Methods - SparkNotes
The Clifford Clogg Award is presented for the best paper written by a graduate student that either makes a significant contribution to sociological methodology or that uses existing methodology in an innovative way to address an important substantive problem. The paper must have been written within two years of submission. The author/first author must be a graduate student at the time of submission and all authors must be graduate students when the paper was written.

As you can deduce from the title, director Simon P. Edwards' new film SIX HOT CHICKS IN A WAREHOUSE is a grindhouse-style horror movie, and it's one that promises to be ultraviolent and neon-soaked. What is it about? That title gives you a good idea, but let's allow Edwards to explain it himself:
First came the title. Something stupid. Something which would grab attention and divide opinion. Something which people would make assumptions on and cause lively debate.
In an unusual order the story was built from the title. Firstly how could we connect these together? Girls, a warehouse? The obvious was a creative space or photography studio. This gave us our villain. A body obsessed photographer with a real gripe about being transparent in a world of beauty. Next came the horror and the far fetched storyline? The photographer taking extreme measures to 'improve' himself and stumbling on a method of revenge for years of being rejected and ignored. This same method providing a catalyst for turning the girls against themselves in a bizarre sequence of violent and uncharacteristic events.
Having successfully completed a Kickstarter campaign back in February, SIX HOT CHICKS IN A WAREHOUSE is currently in production, with Edwards having assembled a cast for it that includes Jessica Messenger, Oliver Malam, Sabine Crossen, Jade Wallis, Sandra Huzuneanu, Elesha Thorn, Max Rudd, Lucy-Anne Brooks, Holly Springett, Monty Jordan, Chloe Toy, and Jesse Jane. Yes, some of those cast members are also porn stars.
The film was scripted by Edwards, with some assistance from Kate G. Smith and Kim Dyer. Edwards is producing with Mark Benfield and Jessica Messenger.
The plan is to have SIX HOT CHICKS IN A WAREHOUSE released by the end of 2016, and it sounds to me like it's going to be a fun one.

Information technology -- Keyboard layouts for text and office systems -- Part 8: Allocation of letters to the keys of a numeric keypad
Technologies de l'information -- Disposition des claviers conçus pour la bureautique -- Partie 8: Affectation de lettres aux touches d'un pavé numérique
ISO/IEC 9995 defines a framework for the layout of all alphanumeric and numeric keyboards across the widest spectrum of today's and upcoming applications using keyboards. The functions to be performed by keyboards are grouped into three categories that correspond to the main physical sections of the keyboard. Application of ISO/IEC 9995 in the design of keyboards will provide the user with a unified, predictable user-machine interface by dividing the keyboard into functional areas and sections and allocating functions to keys. ISO/IEC 9995-8:2009 specifies the allocation of letters to the keys of the numeric zone ZN0 of a keyboard which has the ten digits zero to nine allocated in the "1-2-3" layout. The layout specified in ISO/IEC 9995-8:2009 is intended for applications of information technology equipment keyboards where letters instead of digits are used for the mnemonic retention of numeric information.

My emails are going to spam. What should I do?
Deliverability is something we take quite seriously and we're so glad you are too. We do our part for you – a good 30% of the effort is on our end – but the majority of actions that keep your emails away from SPAM filters are on your end. The things that we can take care of for you are:
- Authentication (SPF & DKIM where applicable)
- Automated/immediate unsubscribe handling
- Complaint Handling
- Monitoring Blacklists
- Managing IP Reputation
- Feedback Loop Management
Beyond that, it's on the individual mailer to take care of things like keeping a clean list, overall domain reputation, email content, and contact engagement. We supply the foundation that allows our customers the possibility of 100% inbox ratings if they are following best practices. Unfortunately most marketers are blissfully unaware of their own role in getting that coveted inbox spot.
It is sometimes the case that a new customer get deliverability bumps or declines when migrating - but this is generally because anyone who had a positive reputation on a separate IP (another email provider) is now moving to a fresh sending environment - which often means a new whitelist needs to be added on the recipient's end.
The best thing to do is to make sure you're up to best practices in your marketing and you'll be great - consistency is key. Those best practices are:
- List Cleanliness - Is your list segmented so that only the right offers go to the right tag or segment?
- Domain Reputation - Is anyone else mailing on behalf of your domain - one bad affiliate can cause your mail to go to Spam. That's why we're so protective of our domain and IPs so we can keep you safe.
- Contact Engagement - Have you made use of the Cold Subscriber feature lately and pruned your list?
- Email Content - Are you using a spam checking tool on your messages to check the content of your email? There are all kinds of words and phrases you can use that will trigger spam filters.Use one of these services to check the spam score of your email content:
If your email scores poorly, change your content to follow the advice. If it passes just fine, get in touch with our support team and we'll take a look.
If you'd ultimately like to setup a custom domain, your first steps to doing so are here.

Any one have any experience going to an osteopath, positive and negative stories please thanks
Post Deleted Because: The OP deleted this post
I think you see this boogie man everywhere. You can be a medical professional without being bought by 'big pharm', I doubt the surgeon who operates is on the take LOL
In the US they are full doctors and surgeons LINK (see my first post)
Here the term is less assured. The UK have protected it to some degree by law, but in most countries it does not hold any sanction for using the term, like here. Much like the words nutritionist, councilor, farm fresh... these are meaningless term undefined. Even the OCI recognise this LINK
I don't mind accepting criticism when I write something that is incorrect, but I did not write that anyone could set up as a Registered osteopath (I assume you mean with the OCI). I just stated that it is availible for anyone to get a piece of paper to frame on the wall stating they are an osteopath... I could print a page saying I am the US President... but I would not as that office is still held by a clown (with small hands).
Betty 12 you are wrong - a registered Osteopath is not something just anyone can set up as - and that's the only osteopath the likes of VHI will refund on so you can be quite CERTAIN they have checked and double checked their medical credibility. The lady I go to has her honours BSc(Ost) 3 masters in various specialist areas and a Phd. I ride and get thrown from time to time and she is my goto - always fixes me up and I have referred many to her. I also know another osteopath who works mainly with children and babies and the local Public Health Nurses send babies to her - imagine how wonderful she had to be for that to happen!
In the US as with Veterinary and Medicine, you do a fairly general degree first and then go to Osteopathic/Veterinary/Medical school to do the equivalent of an MSc and specialise - my niece is in the process just now.
I like people to be honest about their abilities. I do not like those who dress up in white coats to sell me toothpaste. If they hold a medical degree (accredited by a proper institute) then I would be fine bring them my medical issues, but too many have a piece of paper you can buy for a few euro and 20 hours of class work... honest, I have seen the ads.
If you see the OCI's site, it seems to be very concerned you got enough insurance so they will let you join... afraid of getting sued no doubt ;) LINK
Thanks Betty12 for your concern but I'm fine, no need for a GP.Like I said I can't remember exactly what he said it was a few months ago. You really don't like Osteos, do you!
I don't wish to go off topic, but suntime, did you see your GP about this sensation? There are multiple causes and not all to do with blood flow. Many are hormonal, degenerative, autoimmune, renal, etc... it is a symptom best brought up with your doctor. Bloods should be ordered to check thyroid function as well as the hormones.
Pinching such a large and vital blood vessel would cause a lot more symptoms and serious ones, so I would rule that out.... ask your doctor. If you felt globally cold then it is not circulation, that hits the extremities but the core temp would not suffer so.
PS... the muscles around the rib cage can not compress the heart so... try it at home, you can't squeeze them tighter as the ribs form a solid cage to prevent compression. If that was his explanation, I would seek another professional in future. The only condition I heard of that does involve the rib cage pinching blood vessels is Thoracic outlet syndrome. It was the GP on Newstalk and I looked it up... other than that I know of nothing else, and that only effects the arms/hands.
I'm sure there are plenty of dodgy ones out there the same way there are plenty of doctors who write a prescription as soon as you walk in the door.The guy I go to most certainly knows his anatomy. I mentioned the last time I was there that i was really cold and was wondering was it anything to do with my circulation. He said I was tight in my ribs and they were pushing down on my aorta and restricting the blood from flowing as well as it could be (I'm paraphrasing here can't remember what he said word for word!) That night I woke up sweating and was back in my summer pjs which I normally wear year round. So if you can find a good reputable Osteo I reckon you'll never look back. A Physio friend of mine drives from cork to Dublin to see this guy when she's in trouble with her hip.
I'm a runner and I go to my osteopath once or twice a year. He is a sports therapist too and brilliant. My pelvis is usually out of whack from tight muscles, carrying my two year old DD and sleeping on my stomach and he sorts it right out. I think u may be thinking of a chiropractor who do feck all!
If someone doesn't fit your washing machine right, what's the worse that can happen.... ?
Going to college is not the same as being awarded a medical degree. I would guess at least a third of young people you know have a degree, but would you let them operate on you... not with a BA in marketing I wouldn't LOL
The problem with the 'good guys' is that it takes just one wrong move and... From my experience with talking to a few (for a family member who heard good things), I was very concerned of their lack of knowledge of basic physiology. One I asked out straight if they know where the thyroid gland was, they pointed to their ribs.... (it is in your throat). Another did not even know that there were screws in her spine despite my pointing them out... he was about to 'straighten' the disks... if he had pushed it would have been a trip to A&E in an ambulance. From the 5 I met only 1 seemed to have a functioning knowledge and she was smart enough to realise she was out of her depth. Thankfully she saw the error of her ways and is back under the care of a specialist with pain management.
On pain medication, it does help healing by reducing inflammation and giving the body time to calm down and return to normal. Without pain relief the muscles tighten and cause further damage, so don't avoid pain meds thinking it is better for you, it just prolongs your recovery.
The guy I go to is great, yes he went to college. He's been practising for 20 odd years. I wouldn't let a chiropractor near me. I went to one once who told me I'd need 10 sessions, how could he possibly know how I'd respond to any treatment. Anyway he left me in bits, I went once. Chiropractors work on bones and pay little attention to muscle. I realised on my last visit that I've being going to this guy for 13 years (we were working out where he was practising when I was first treated). I could go 3 years without seeing him but when my back goes he's the only person I'll go too.The lady who treated my kids said to me if she can't fix it in 3 sessions or less she's doing something wrong. She once had to see my child a 4th time and so didn't charge me. No I don't take any pain killers I used to a long time ago but don't now. I have 2 bulging discs and am sometimes quite uncomfortable but I try not to take anything.I guess like any person you go and see in any walk or life there are people who are good at what they do and ones who are useless.
Have they gone to college?? I've problems with my back but I'd be nervous to let someone near me who doesn't have a degree as proof of qualifications.There is a guy near us who is ment to be great but I always thought they were quacks (I could be completely wrong about my assumption).
It is an interesting distinction. In the US an osteopath is a medically certified doctor / surgeon. Over here the term is not medical at all and anyone can use the term to describe themselves. By and large there is no difference as the term is undefined legally here.
Be very careful as they can cause great harm.
Sun time what do they do are they similar to chiropractor? My dh has back problems he is taking difene every single day since mid August there has to be something else he can do, do you take pain killers?
I think they're great! I go to a fab guy and he works wonders on my crook of a back. I only see him about once or twice a year and he straightens me out. My kids also went to one (different one) and again I found her wonderful.
Glad your little son is feeling better. Poor little thing on medication for so long

Reclaimed Wood Stool Seat
I found this great old style stool on Amazon.com for only 100 bucks. All the metal work is solid and it looks great but the wood top was pretty lame. I found some scrap wood near the loading dock in our building and used it to replace the new stool seat with a rustic reclaimed wood seat.
Here I just traced the original seat and then cut it out with a jig saw.
I'm really happy with how this turned out so I made four more. The sealer is still wet in these photos:

Sunday 01/10/10
At six o'clock on Friday morning, the sky is still pitch black. Cloudy overcast obliterates any feeble starlight or moonlight. In the South End boat house, harsh electric lights illuminate only the main corridor. The corners remain in inky shadow. The conversation is muted as befits a group not yet quite awake. Most people exhibit hair bearing traumatic evidence of a messy divorce with the pillow. Half of the group grasp steaming mugs of coffee or tea. The bustle of organized chaos reflects in echoes off the dark walls. The Sunrisers are preparing for a Pier 7 swim.
The equipment layout bespeaks a practiced efficiency. Three or four people slide an inflatable boat out of its specially constructed rack and position it onto a small, wheeled trolley. The Zodiacs roll into their place in the assembly area just outside the boat house. The heavy outboard motors have their own specialized hand cart. These carts wheel out to the assembly area where two people wrestle an engine onto the stern of a boat while another person keeps the bow tilted down. With the outboard locked into place and pitched forward, the stern is allowed to settle. Someone retrieves a gas tank from its locker outside the boathouse, checks the fuel level, connects it to the motor, opens the vent, and primes the hose. The appropriate number of personal flotation devices and blankets begin to fill the boat bottoms. "Man Overboard" signal flags, bailers, and marine radios find their way into their constructed slots. In slightly more than fifteen minutes, the fully equipped Zodiacs stand like sentinels in a row. The entire activity has the feel of a Special Operations mission (minus the weapons, of course).
Leadership is ad hoc. Individuals who know the drill perform the necessary tasks and direct any bewildered bystanders.
"We need some help pulling this Zod' out of the rack."
"Would you hold that bow down while we mount this motor?"
"Get six life vests and toss them in the bottom of each Zod'."
"Let's do a radio check on channel 69."
"How many swimmers do we have so far?"
"Has everyone signed the sign-out sheet?"
"OK. Let's do a final swimmer count."
The calculus of pilot coverage begins with the swimmer count. A brief negotiation ensues and one swimmer may give up a slot in order to pilot and provide the appropriate balance. By 6:30 am, we are trundling the Zodiacs down the boat ramp in a cacophony of wooden clatter. Once in the water, the pilots give sharp tugs on the starter ropes, assign seats to distribute the weight, and carefully pull away from the dock.
Several cove swimmers are plying their way around Aquatic Park and not all wear lights, requiring pilot and passengers to keep a sharp lookout. We edge cautiously to the Bad Becky where the passengers hunker down in an amiable pile amid swim coats and surprisingly warm and snuggly blankets. The pilot accelerates and we cruise past the breakwater.
A fresh breeze from the west is in combat with the east-flowing ebb current. The battle generates a steep high chop and we begin bouncing along at our top dry speed of 10 knots. As we approach the corner at Pier 39, a blue-gray glow begins to puncture portions of the cloud cover in the east. The dim celestial light provides an incandescent backdrop for Yerba Buena Island and the Bay Bridge. Fifteen minutes after leaving the dock, we are coasting to a stop at our rendezvous point off Pier 7. The city has not quite come awake and the urban symphony has yet to commence. The chugging of the engine ceases and we soak in the early morning stillness.
We wait a brief spell to give the ebb a chance to build. One of the pilots contacts Vessel Traffic Service. He gives them our location, destination, number of swimmers, and number of the marine channel we will be using for boat-to-boat communication. VTS responds with a laconic acknowledgement. Two minutes later, the swimmers roll backwards into the 51 degree water. The shock of the cold water erases the last traces of sleepiness. Breaking dawn shoots shafts of light sideways into the translucent green water. With the tangy taste of brine in our mouths, we strike for home.
The agitated sea demands concentration to maintain a smooth, even stroke. The pilot craft disappear behind the taller waves. Occasionally, a recovery stroke greets nothing but air until the body drops off a watery precipice. Other times, the Bay snatches an arm in mid-return and slams it back, forcing a one-arm stroke drill. Coach Val's instruction is paying dividends though, and the steady glide of the Texas two-step builds confidence for the Channel.
This is not a race and swimmers bear partial responsibility for pilot coverage. The faster swimmers reverse course a couple of times to return to the group and tighten the spread. Sunrisers call this behavior "podding up." It adds to the sense of camaraderie.
By the time we turn the corner again at Pier 39, the ebb has gained strength and we are streaking back to Aquatic Park. Within an hour of getting wet, we curl around the breakwater and stroke for the beach.
At the beach, the swimmers make their way back down the boat ramp to meet the pilots. Together, they retrieve and stow the Zodiacs. After-drop and hypothermic tremors take a toll among the swimmer helpers. One by one, they make their way to the warm sauna. By the time they are dressed, the equipment is re-stowed and ready for the next mission.
The Sunrisers conduct perhaps three hundred swims a year. It's small wonder that they operate with such quiet competence. For me, it was a treat to be liberated from the strict confines of the Cove. The hour seemed to fly by. The rough water was just an added training bonus. This experience and the anticipation of the ones to follow make me glad to have established a dual membership with the South End and the Dolphin Clubs.

Curve Wall Mounted Bed
May 19, 2009
Filed under Uncategorized
I'm of a like mind agree with the article "To be honest I'd love to see 3,4 or even 5 cats sleeping in beds like these", it is pleasantly to see cat sleep like that.
Unfortunately this bed only suitable for cat. But maybe also suitable for puppy, but can't set the bed to high.

Happy Belated 4th of July! We hope you had a fun and safe night watching your local fireworks.
Yesterday, beatmaker/producer/engineer Itay Lerner of Blue Pointe Productions informed me that the project him and Elias have been working (See Previous Article) on would drop later in the evening. At 7:00 pm, he messaged me it had just dropped. The summer oriented, 15 track album entitled "Rosé" did not disappoint. The album can be downloaded on HERE, through Elias' Bandcamp account. It can be downloaded for FREE if you input $0.00, but please if you are able to, do your best to support these guys! The album is brought to you by The Epiphonix (Elias and Itay) and Blue Pointe Productions.
If you've been sleeping on them, you better get yourself antiquated.
The Tracklist
- One Life (Prod. Oscar Freely)
- Bambino (Prod. by Mr. Mayes)
- English ft. Chip Locke (Street Talkin')
- Just A Little Lovin' ft. Millsz
- All these Words (Prod. by Lius Fader)
- Abe Lincoln (Prod. by Rams)
- Fight The Power ft. Wes Guy (Prod. by Rams)
- Goddamn (Prod. by Rams)
- Daily Routine
- The Equinox (Prod. by Lil Cabey)
- L.O.V.E. (Prod. by Daniel Scenery)
- Animal (Prod. by Rams)
- Way of Thought (Prod. by Mr.Procheck)
- Beef Stroganoff (Prod. by JocTheProducer)
- Dollars & Change (Prod. by Apollo Gold)
Start from "One Life" to "Dollars & Change" and you will pick up motifs of ambition, overcoming struggles and social adversity, success, and transitioning from adolescence to adulthood of Elias' recent life. For a hip-hop artist, his lyrical style handles, if not MURDERS the beat, and still packed with content and is only 18. This ambitious content and success-based mindset needs to spread to influence the upcoming generations. Other than the positive vibes, it is clear Elias composed material based on personal topics about his life. Regardless of what mood the lyrics give off, each track is accompanied by an appropriate beat. You might even be caught off guard by some, because they have SLAP! The songs with features should definitely be paid attention too as well. Every track serves its own purpose while still complementing the album was a whole. This album is complete fire based on the composition, production quality, and artist creativity. You will realize the project is light years beyond anything mainstream the way Elias and Itay are stepping out of their industry's comfort zone. They are going to be one of the music groups responsible for putting Portland on the map as an outlet of hip-hop music.
If you have not yet heard their previous work "Late Nights & Garden Buds" please click HERE to get a FREE Download! His Facebook Page and the Blue Pointe Productions Website.

What is an advertising-supported software
If Netflix Scam reroutes are occurring, advertising-supported software is possibly to blame. If commercials or pop-ups hosted on that portal are appearing on your screen, you must have set up free program without paying mind to the process, which allowed adware to arrive into your operating system. Because adware enter silently and may work in the background, some users aren't even see the adware setting up on their PCs. Expect the adware to expose you to as many adverts as possible but do not worry about it directly harming your computer.

Last week, we promised to share some of our favorite pumpkin decorating tips. Websites like Pinterest can offer ideas galore for innovative ways to bring fall's iconic gourd into your home.
From classic carving to painting and preserving, we can't wait to try out some of these twists!
1. Pumpkin centerpieces – make yours last
Love those tiny decorative pumpkins? They make for excellent seasonal tablescapes like we talked about on last week's blog. To make your pumpkins last all season long, 365ishpins.com suggests two simple steps: First give your pumpkins a bath in one part bleach, ten parts water. After a ten minute soak, dry them off and buff with a soft cloth and Vaseline for an extra shine.
2. Create your own pumpkins
Want to leave the real thing outdoors on your front step? You can make your own pumpkins by getting a little creative with items around your home. We love this one from theturquoisehome.com that can be made by painting mason jar lid rings and tying them together.
3. Decorate, decorate decorate!
While we love a classically carved jack-o-lantern, there are a number of kid-friendly pumpkin transformations that make it easier for the whole family to take part. From laurenconrad.com's pom pom pumpkins to Better Homes & Garden's candy corn gourds, there are a million ways to make your pick of the pumpkin patch your own. Happy decorating!

How do you decide that you should install an android app? Is it because someone suggested it to you or you read up on the mobile app reviews on Google Playstore? You might be directed at the mobile app because your colleague or friend suggested you to install that mobile app, but most of us are in habit on checking the app reviews left by the mobile users, it makes us understand if we can deal with what went wrong with other users or simply the android app has no issues and it is safe to download the application on our android devices.Which is the reason why today every real app user is interested in getting better app ratings for their apps on google play. Therefore, they contact App Store Optimization Agencies which follow the Play Store Guidelines and enhance user experience enabling them to get positive reviews. Here are some ways in which you can get more 5-star app ratings for your android app.
Tips for Getting 5-star app reviews.
- Embrace the negative reviews on your app brand. What happens is that the app developer might turn a blind eye towards negative reviews of the app, these are the ones that potential users concentrate on most. So take time and reply to the negative reviews on your app and be quick in accepting the limitations of your apps and work on how you can make it better and the bug fixes or any fixes on time. This will not only get good ratings on your app, but also help you get more keyword installs on android – as this will spread out a positive word about your app. Once you are confident, you can buy app downloads for android app, and boost your app reputation through legit app promotion means. There are actually many sites that sell cheap android installs. You can also ask your friends to review android app and inform you of any bugs. It comes very handy to get your app reviewed this way.
- There are apps that might help you in asking the satisfied customers to leave behind a review, a good example of that is Appirater which works for both android apps and ios apps, or you can add this small snippet to your app so that it will prompt the users that have downloaded your app to leave behind a review – Do not get paid reviews, follow the guidelines. Remember, buying is a shortcut to getting cheap android reviews, but, it isn't an effective way to promote your android app in the long run. The reason why we discourage this practice is because, in this arrangement, users get paid to review apps, and they are often not reliable and cause a lot of damage to your app. So, never buy app reviews for iOS.
- Asking Satisfied users to rate your android app can be tricky it's necessary to get feedback from the users but you need to time it right, let the customer use it for a few days so that he/she can give you a proper feedback based on their use of this app. Sure, you can boost your android app by getting a lot of installs, but that stratergy doesn't always work. Had this been so easy, every mobile app marketing agency would have done the same. So, it is always best to get app reviews organically. Many app review sites provide app store ratings, this is indeed great for app promotion, but it isn't the best way to do android app marketing.
- Social media is the best platform to promote your apps, most of our populace is addicted to it, you can provide a means to make it possible for the users to share the app with the popular social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and many others. It is quite easy to get app store reviews by boosting your android app's social presence. There are many app reviewers which will help you get reviews for your app. If you are wondering how to promote an app, this is the best way to do it. There are many app review exchange sites too, but they are best avoided.
- Respond to the mobile app reviews which on time, don't keep the users waiting. Punctuality is universally accessed as a good thing, so be quick about replying to the negative app reviews and let the users know that you are doing your best to solve their issues and are working on it. This gives more return for investment then paid app reviews. Getting a good app review isn't as difficult as you think it is. In fact all this will help you raise app reviews to a great level. This will help you increase app installs for both Android and iOS, and then you can also buy downloads for your app. This will eventually help in App Store Optimization and will help your app rank better.
These things will really help you with the goal of getting better apps ratings and also help you increase mobile app downloads, and when you do work on these it's a sure thing that you will be able to see the difference it makes on the app ratings of your application. There are few other ways in which you can work on getting better ratings. For instance you can buy positive reviews on best android review sites; but for now, these will suffice. And as you go on you will learn the others on your own without any assistance from anyone. And besides, it is important to take off your reliance from fake app store reviews – be it Android or iPhone app reviews and ratings. This will enable your app to become one of the most distinguished 5-star apps on play store. You can apply the same principle for itunes app store reviews,

Use Sensor.TYPE_LIGHT instead of finding the int value
I am having difficulty finding the correct sensor int value for the light sensor. All the documentation online refers to Sensor.TYPE_LIGHT.
Is it possible to change the autotools event to use the string (Sensor.TYPE_LIGHT) instead of the int (not sure what it is yet, i cant find it)?
Thank you

Nazi Roots of Modern Radical Islam <span class=""> – Annotated
However, after over 700 years of peaceful coexistence, the true start of the Arab-Israeli conflict can be dated to 1920 and the rise of one man, Haj Amin Muhammad Al Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem. As grand mufti, al Husseini presided as the Imam of the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, the highest Muslim authority in the British mandate.
Al Husseini found the Nazis to be a strong ideological match with his anti-Jewish brand of Islam, and schemed with Hitler and the Nazi hierarchy to create a pro-Nazi pan-Arabic form of government in the Middle East.
However, al Husseini's central role in the creation of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1964 is perhaps his most indelible mark on the Middle East today.
Most Mideast observers today recognize the younger Al Husseini by the secular name he adopted as his own in 1952, Yasser Arafat.

I am still one of those sleep deprived MOMs. The girls are about seven and a half months old and, like their singleton brothers, do not sleep through the night. My children tend to begin sleeping through the night at a year. Until then I am usually up with them for at least one quick feed.
Sleep training just does not work here. I don't have the mental or emotional fortitude to listen to my children cry. Since the girls are both still under fifteen pounds each, I'm going to assume they still need a certain amount of night nutrition, comfort or both.
I'm not complaining. I don't need advice. It is just where we're at right now.
Coffee is my friend. And so is my Kindle on iPod touch which allows me to read, in the dark, and not have to balance a book on my lap with a baby or two.
The boys all sleep wonderfully now, so I'm pretty sure the girls will some day as well!
They still sleep in the same crib, and seem to enjoy it. They don't wake each other, though they do enjoy playing with each other in the morning. They snuggle at night.
I now have a new tool in my bedtime arsenal! I'm a member of Music Moms through Childsplaypr.com. This last week I was sent a CD by David Garrett called Rock Symphonies. This CD is an awesome blend of classical violin with classic rock and roll songs from bands such as Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith and Nirvana. This CD has a very "cool" feel, in that the boys enjoyed listening to it, but it is also calming and enjoyable for the babies.
I like to introduce my children to many genres of music and this CD adds to a collection of varied artists!
A little about David Garrett:
- International superstar David Garrett has been performing sold-out classical violin shows since he was a young boy, playing with the London Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Russian National Orchestra by Age 12.
- The German-born musician has breathed new life into the genre of classical music and has amassed a large and devoted global following of fans, most of them younger than the listeners traditionally associated with classical music.
- He holds the Guinness Book of World Records title for the fastest performance of "The Flight of the Bumblebee", which her performed recently on Oprah.
- PBS is airing a special this month (also called Rock Symphonies) of Garrett's sold out Berlin show, where he performed in front of 18,000 fans.
- Rock Symphonies debuted at #2 on the Billboard Classical Crossover chart (second to Sting at #1) and is still holding its position.
- Rock Symphonies is available at Best Buy, iTunes and Amazon.com.

January is a perfect month to travel, unwind and relax after the busy holiday season and Ted an Doris Nichols with Butch and Betty Emmons did just that. They just returned from a cruise to Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Jamaica. Good food and good friends equal a fun vacation. Susie and Max Martensen took a few days to experience the migration of the Whopping Cranes at the wildlife sanctuary in Rockport, Texas. This is not the first time my zany neighbors have participated in this type of unusual activity. Earlier this year they, along with their sister Liz Martensen, spent several days observing hummingbirds and helping to tag the many species to follow their migration.
Enjoy these beautiful days with the activity of your choice, but do get out and celebrate your life.
It will be Girl Scout Cookie sale days starting Feb. 15. Please help our scouts by purchasing the delicious cookies. They freeze well and make the perfect snack for those long walks or golf games you are all enjoying.

Is it possible to imagine a Democracy installed fully by pacific means? I am sure it isn't.
Moreover when Democracy means a direct defiance to the ruling power sructures.
Mexico, my country, is a good example about how much the Democracy costs. Almost 100 after the beginning of the Mexican Revolution (1910), from which the current political power structures came from, it is sad to admit that the social inequity existing 100 year ago is still a constant today and that the sources of it are far away from being extinguished.
However, the mexican revolution also gave us examples of people who did not fear to face the dictatorial power based on his personal beliefs that a real and free Democracy would be the only way to follow for a nation who urged itself to finish with the social and economical inequity lived for centuries in this country. Based on those democratic principles, it was Don Francisco I. Madero, the first one who defied the power structures, represented by the old president Don Profirio Díaz. The history (not the official one), tells us that Madero's mistake might have been to think that the country was ready for a real democratic state. But it wasn't and Madero was killed by means of the old and still underlying power stuctures.
Mexico is a very different country now, and even when there are still thousands of moral debts with many people yet, we have to recongnize that there are also many rights that have been conquered by the mexican society, at very high costs, and one of the is the freedom of speach.
These days many people in Iran is fighting as well to conquer what they believe to be a real Democracy. Unfortunately many of them are paying the highest cost on it. That is why I post here below a link to a site dedicated to a 25 year old girl who was killed two days ago by the iranian state police during a protest in Tehran: Neda Soltani was her name (which means voice in Persian).

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
Seems to me there's been a lot of hyper-ventilating about AMD's Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition with some implying it's an overclocker's dream. My friends at XBit Labs have taken a close look at what's possible (HERE) and concluded:
"…[The] new Phenom II X4 965 working at 3.4 GHz frequency is pretty much as fast as Core 2 Quad Q9550 at 2.83 GHz nominal speed and fall behind Core i7-920 with even lower nominal frequency of 2.66 GHz. So, AMD CPUs lose to Intel competitors quite significantly in IPC (instructions per clock). It is this particular fact, but not the insufficiently high clock speeds, that do not allow AMD solutions to find their way into the high-end price segments.
Moreover, considering that Phenom II X4 965 has increased to 140 W typical heat dissipation, its launch seems even more to be the "last resort". We obviously shouldn't expect Phenom II X4 processor family to speed up any further, at least until new Deneb core stepping comes out (which we have no information of so far). So, Phenom II X4 965 will most likely remain the fastest quad-core AMD processor for a while. And within this period of time Intel may not only expand their Lynnfield processor family, but also start production of 32 nm technologies. In other words, while today we reviewed Phenom II X4 965 as a mainstream solution, in the near future Phenom II X4 processor family will have be just a low-cost quad-core offering, like first generation Phenom X4 CPUs."

Alkanes are a simple molecule abundantly available in crude oil. Andrew's work centres around designing catalysts that can convert these simple and readily available molecules to high value chemicals such as those used in pharmaceuticals.
The Frankland Award recognises outstanding contributions to pure and applied research in organometallic chemistry or coordination chemistry. Andrew receives £2000, a medal and a certificate.
An illustrious list of 47 previous winners of the Royal Society of Chemistry's Awards have gone on to win Nobel Prizes for their pioneering work, including Harry Kroto, Fred Sanger and Linus Pauling.
Andrew commented: "I feel most honoured to be presented with this award, especially given the impressive roll call of past recipients. This award really recognises the hard work, dedication and talent of all of my co-workers over the last 15 years at both Bath and Oxford; and I am delighted that their contributions are being recognised."
Dr Robert Parker, chief executive of the Royal Society of Chemistry said: "It is an honour to recognise the illustrious achievements of our prize and award winners in our 175th anniversary year.
"We were founded in 1841 by a group of academics, industrialists and doctors who understood the power of the chemical sciences to change our world for the better. Our winners share that vision and are advancing excellence in their fields, whether through innovative research or inspirational teaching and outreach.
"We are proud to celebrate and support the work of inspiring and influential individuals, whose work has the potential to improve so many lives."
Award winners are evaluated for the originality and impact of their research, as well as the quality of the results which can be shown in publications, patents, or even software. The awards also recognise the importance of teamwork across the chemical sciences, and the abilities of individuals to develop successful collaborations.
