Reuters lags news-service rivals AP and Bloomberg in releasing mobile apps, but the company plans to spend heavily to make up for any lost time. On Monday, the UK news services company will release its Thomson Reuters (NSDQ: TRIN) News Pro app for the iPhone and Blackberry. The company has been in cost-cutting mode since last fall's global financial collapse, Chris Ahearn (pictured, right), Thomson Reuters' president of media, told paidContent that the company was still moving forward on Thomson Reuters Markets CEO Devin Wenig's promise to invest $1 billion in building up its multimedia capabilities. That push revolves around ramping up its video capabilities for both TV and the web.
— Balancing act: All three major news services' subscription businesses are hurting to some extent. And so, all three have been beefing up their multimedia offerings. Both AP and Bloomberg — which recently inked a deal that sends the former's content to the latter — focused their multimedia efforts as a way of broadening their consumer appeal with their mobile apps. In particular, the AP hopes to use multimedia as way to carve out an e-commerce business. Thomson Reuters' approach is more of a balancing act between those who rely on strictly financial and the general business professional. The effort is a long term one. And while last week's Q1 results were largely positive — profits and revenues rose by double digits — the media segment fell 18 percent, meaning that the business needs to quickly develop new revenue streams. — Subscription/ad rev hybrid: I spoke to both Ahearn and Alisa Bowen, Thomson Reuters' SVP, head of consumer publishing, after testing out the iPhone app last week. While both apps are being released free to BlackBerry and iPhone users, the company wants to turn them into products that generate both subscription and advertising revenue. The subscription part is at least several months down the road, while the advertising aspect is open for business on day one. For the first day or so, the apps will only carry house ads, Ahearn and Bowen said. More about the apps' specific features after the jump.
— Different apps for different audiences: The Thomson Reuters News Pro app has different characteristics for each of the two devices. The BlackBerry app is more text-centric, while the iPhone places more emphasis on the video and photo features. Ahearn: "The iPhone app is targeted to all business professionals, not just financial consumers, or users in legal or health and science. It's for Thomson Reuters professional audience writ large." He says the company will roll out a number of other products this year. "You

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will you blurb my book?
A: Maybe. It depends on several factors, the biggest being my schedule. Please have your agent or editor contact mine.
Q: When will your next book be out?
A: While You Were Gone, the second book in the Duplexity series, will be published by Knopf in August, 2015. It follows the story of the alternate Danny and Eevee in the parallel universe. Reading the second book will change your understanding of the first book. I'd tell you more but…spoilers.
Q: I like to write. How do I get published?
A: Well, that depends on what you write and what your goals are. If you're writing short stories, I suggest you check out resources such as New Pages or Duotrope to help you find the right market for your work. If you write novels and want to publish traditionally, I recommend you query agents (after getting your manuscript as polished as possible). A good resource for finding agents is QueryTracker. I don't have much experience with indie publishing, so I don't feel comfortable giving advice other than checking out the blogs of the big indie writers out there. I do, however, offer writing advice and resources on my blog, as well as in my writers group's podcast, Curb Chat (which is really fun, so you should check it out). One thing I encourage writers to do is get plugged into a writing community (not necessarily a critique group, but at least other writers you can chat with). Writing can be a very solitary endeavor. It's good to have people in your life who get it. It's good to encourage and be encouraged by them when the going gets rough.
Q: Will you read my manuscript and help me get published?
A: I know how frustrating the road to publication can be, but due to legal reasons, I can't read your unpublished manuscript. I have, however, shared a lot of my experiences and resulting advice on my blog. If you have specific questions about writing or publishing, you can always contact me. I might have answers.
Q: Will you sign my book?
A: The best way to get a signed book is to attend one of my events. If that's not possible, you may be able to request a signed copy from Changing Hands, an awesome indie bookstore here in my home town.
Q: Will you come to my school/library/teen event?
A: I'd love to! Contact me.
Q: Will you donate books or items to a charitable cause?
A: Maybe. Please contact me with details.
Q: Do you write by hand or use a computer?
A: I do all my writing on a computer, but I make a lot of notes by hand. And I love organizing chapters with note cards. I'm a bit old school that way. Also, I have an office supply fetish.
Q: There's a lot of science in Now That You're Here. How much research did you do?
A: A lot, which was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. You can read more about it here.
Q: Who is your favorite X-Men character?
A: Wolverine.
Q: Did you really meet Benedict Cumberbatch?
A: Yep. You can read about it here.
Q: Are you on social media?
A: Yes. You can find me on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, and Instagram. My most favorite thing I ever did on social media was create this photo of Wallace and BC and put it on Tumblr.
Q: Who's your favorite Doctor?
A: It's difficult to choose, but I have to go with Ten. As they say, you never forget your first Doctor.
Q: What kind of music do you listen to?
A: I'm all over the map when it comes to music, and I always listen to something when I'm writing. Usually I find a song that fits the chapter I'm working on, and listen to it on repeat while I work. On this page you can find a playlist for Now That You're Here. And there's one on this page for While You Were Gone.
Q: Who made the trailer for Now That You're Here?
A: I did, using the Adobe Creative Suite products. It was a lot of fun. I have a background in graphics and web design. I decided to try my hand at video editing, and voilà! (If you haven't seen the trailer, you can watch it here.)
Q: Is that your dog?
A: Yes. He's a goofball.
Q: My question isn't included in this list. Can I ask you something else?
A: Sure. Drop me a line.

Amidst the madness of Gamescom I fuelled my rage with a little Mad Max, the next open world title from Avalanche studios.
Having made a mark for free roaming mayhem with the Just Cause series, Avalanche have been hard at work making a barren wasteland for Mad Max to call home. I initially saw this title during its E3 2013 unveiling, and I'm happy to see it alive and well to this day.
Unlike Rico in Just Cause, Max doesn't fly helicopters – nor does he use a wing suit – which means making his car, the Magnum Opus, your power tool. After a rollicking cinema debut with Fury Road, it's as good a time than ever for a grand gaming adventure.
As you'd expect, upgrading your car is a major part of Mad Max. From expanding its weaponry, to increasing armour and handling, consider your Magnum Opus a gem in the ever-expanding rough. Via a gradual continuation of upgrades throughout the campaign, you'll get tougher, faster and more deadly.
During my fifteen minutes of fun, I had to destroy a handful of tankers attacking a stronghold. By ripping off the hatch on their tanks with my harpoon, I could then take my shot and cause a huge fireball in the process. It was mesmerising seeing such huge explosions, and it was classic Avalanche mayhem.
Aside from getting hands-on with the steering wheel, I also engaged in a bit of brutal combat. Much like any fighting mechanic these days, your main actions include attack, stun and counter. The higher your combo, the more insane your finishing move will be. Add boom sticks to the mix and you'll have the chance to skewer enemies and follow up with an gut-wrenching explosion. Quite literally.
There aren't any social features to Mad Max, and I feel as though it would've been cool to fend-off random online opponents in the sand. Then again, I'm glad that all the developer's focus has been on the single player experience.
Closing Thoughts
My short time in the wastelands was fun, and the objective of upgrading my car and gathering all the scrap I can find, seems like an addictive one. I'm eager to see how full of life the open space will be, particularly after the campaign, but until then I'll have to go mad waiting for it.
Mad Max is out on September 4th in the UK for PS4, Xbox One and PC.

'There was a point of time -- I am very honest about it -- that I was not raring to even put on whites. I wasn't part of any team -- I wasn't part of any first-class team. There was a time when I was dropped from my own first-class team. To have this opportunity to be part of the Indian team is such a huge bonus'
It took him six years to make a comeback to the Indian Test team and his spot as an opener is still not guaranteed but Abhinav Mukund would prefer to live in the present and contribute in team's cause rather than thinking about past or future.
With his 81-run knock, Mukund scored only his second Test half-century On Friday after his previous best effort of 62 against the West Indies in Dominica back in 2011.
Mukund has been a part of the Indian team since the Australia series early this year but given Shikhar Dhawan's 190 runs in the first innings and a possible comeback of Murali Vijay or KL Rahul, his place in the team will be under the scanner.
"I have the opportunity to do something in this Test. I don't want to think ahead to the next Test. Being the first-choice opener or second-choice opener doesn't make a difference. When you get a chance in the middle, I want to capitalise on it. That's what I thought," said Mukund. "There was a point of time -- I am very honest about it -- that I was not raring to even put on whites. I wasn't part of any team -- I wasn't part of any first-class team. There was a time when I was dropped from my own first-class team. To have this opportunity to be part of the Indian team is such a huge bonus. I take every game as an opportunity, that's all. If I am part of the team, not part of the team, again, I will try to do my best wherever I am," said Mukund.
The Tamil Nadu opener said his teammates have been very supportive since his comeback.
"The support staff and the senior players have made my stay quite comfortable. I have played a lot with Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja and all of these guys at junior level. I think the culture is as such that it is relaxed in the dressing room," he added.
During his knock of 81, Mukund put on 133 runs for the third wicket with skipper Virat Kohli who also overcame his bad patch to score an unbeaten 76.
"We have certain plans, where we try to hold our partnership together at the start and end of each session because when you start and end the session well, it is a big plus for the team. That's something we speak about a lot.
"I thought if two settled batsmen were not out today, that would have given us the impetus to get a few more in the first hour and then out them back in. Unfortunately I got out. It is not something we can control, but it is something we have in the back of our head that we finish the session well," he said.
His half-century served as a timely knock of course, but Mukund has also eagerly contributed on the field. He ran out Upul Tharanga from silly point and then took a one-handed catch to dismiss Niroshan Dickwella on day two as well.
"I was quite disappointed after the Pune Test because I dropped a sitter off Steven Smith. It was one of those catches that goes past you. I wanted to do well because I wanted to be a specialist somewhere.
"In the Indian team, it is very important that you be a specialist fielder somewhere. I have worked a lot with R Sridhar. He has been a great asset for me. He has made it mandatory that we take a certain number of catches everyday. Also the fitness aspect – it is important that you are fit to stand under the helmet for 70-80 overs. So a lot of credit to Mr. Basu," said the opener.
"I think the catch and the run-out did give me a lot of confidence. I have worked really hard in the off-season. I wanted to improve on my close-in fielding and also my batting. I have put in the hard yards. I have had a decent day but I am disappointed to get out on 81," he added.
Sri Lanka were bowled out for 291 runs in their first innings, handing India a huge lead of 309 runs. India did not enforce the follow on and Mukund said it should work in India's favour.
"There was a little bit of discussion, but I think there was so much time left in the Test match and the wicket is going to deteriorate. It was the management's decision. I didn't play any part in that.
"When the ball gets older, there was assistance for Dilruwan Perera. There was turn towards the end of the day. There are a couple of balls that are skidding on and going.
"There will be a lot more assistance for Ashwin and Jadeja in the second innings than there was yesterday or today. Probably by lunch or tea tomorrow, I think there will be a lot more turn," he signed off.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging concept based on the vision of a fully connected world, the ultimate goal of which is seamless connectivity between things, people, processes and data anywhere, anytime and in any condition.
In addition to providing a strong architecture, IoT platforms provide access to and integration with many value additions. These are typically additional layers of security, micro-services, data analytics, and emerging technologies. The strength of this ecosystem depends on how well the IoT platforms are able to integrate and create meaningful offerings for their customers. Devising a strategy to create a robust ecosystem that can cater to diverse customer requirements is one of the biggest conundrums for an IoT platform vendor.
Middle East Experience
Underpinning the development of IoT is extensive investment in telecoms infrastructure, particularly the more high-capacity networks such as fibre, 4G and the emergence of 5G. The Middle East has shown an appetite for such advances, with leading equipment providers such as Huawei and Nokia already running NB-IoT trials with some of the leading operators in the region. This is done with the view to being at the forefront of industrial IoT for countries such as the U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia.
In the Middle East, IoT investment has been led by smart city initiatives as the major cities look to make their infrastructure and systems more intelligent. This has been driven by the emergence of smart technologies as well as the growing pressure on the cities' infrastructure due to their large and rising populations. The U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia are looking to lead the way with their smart city initiatives, with both countries harbouring ambitions to have the first truly smart cities in the region.
In 2017, Saudi Arabia commissioned its first smart city in Yanbu through a partnership between the Royal Commission of Yanbu, Bayanat Co and Etisalat Mobility. The project was developed to promote sustainable urban development, featuring among others, emergency response, intelligent traffic management and intelligent energy management. The SANS smart pole system is also one of the key applications of the smart city initiative, which is based on street lights poles that include WiFi hotspots, video monitoring, sensors, information release, solar power systems and public address systems. The country's planned Neom smart city is expected to be one of the largest and most ambitious initiatives in the world, with an estimated $500 billion earmarked for the project. Expected to be completed by 2025, advanced technology will drive smart energy and water, transportation, biotechnology, media and entertainment and advanced manufacturing.
Dubai is also a top destination for IoT solutions, with the view to become a smart city. The focus of the city's transformation has been on its energy and public transportation infrastructure. To intelligently manage traffic and relieve congestion on the roads, as part of the smart city initiative, a range of smart devices including cameras and sensors are placed on the major roads and different parts of the city, which are then controlled centrally.
Other use cases for IoT that are already under way or planned include the following:
Autonomous Vehicles: The U.A.E. has already taken the lead in autonomous vehicles, where vehicles will be connected with each other, as well as with the road ecosystem (such as pedestrians, roadside infrastructure and network servers) through sensors, robotic drones and cameras. Such a use case will require very high-speed network connectivity, security infrastructure, integration of payment mechanisms (for toll, parking, fines, etc) and various other components.
Oil & Gas Automation Process: Connected IoT sensors are used to monitor asset performance and help boost rig efficiency by collecting data on water and oil quality, gas, humidity, leakage, flow and temperature, amongst others. There are four rigs in the North Atlantic Basin that have already adopted this solution. In the GCC, Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. are exploring remote monitoring of oil wells through IoT platforms. High speed connectivity will be one of the critical enablers in such scenarios, and can significantly boost the outcome of such an implementation.
The Way Forward
As part of their long-term smart cities ecosystems, Middle East countries could consider other advanced IoT systems in healthcare, utilities and public safety.
The development of Automated Warehouse Management systems is transforming the logistics and retail sectors. The U.A.E. is the logistics hub of the region, and has large numbers of sophisticated warehouses. This could be one of the immediate use cases for drones, enabled by 5G networks. Logistics and retail organisations can leverage drones embedded with a camera to scan the barcodes and RFID tags of inventory and automatically update the backend supply chain and ERP applications. It can also be used to ensure warehouse safety, speed up the delivery process and save on labour costs.
With the emergence of 5G technology, vehicle clustering can also be an important IoT application in the automotive sector. This refers to the clustering of a group of vehicles that are congested in the same traffic flow in order to ease traffic congestion. This however requires the city to invest in intelligent transportation systems and sensors in order to aggregate, analysis and automate the traffic flow.

We can't define in one word between the relationship between a husband and wife. You can write a book on it. Its undefined.
There are so many things which can define this relationship. I am defining some of them but these are a few things which I am showing here to you.
First and foremost is term Honesty. Honesty is a term which can be the crucial term in every relationship whether it is in between husband and wife, brothers and sisters, GF and BF etc.. One has to be honest with other partner for build a healthy relationship.
This doesn't mean that you will become cruel to your partner and tell in front of your partner's face about their faults and other things but a meaningful communication between the two of you about what things makes you both comfortable and what are thing which makes uncomfortable between you. Share you actual thoughts with your partner about herself/himself. Always discuss with her/him your views with full honesty. Without honesty there can be no Trust in between the relationship.
Now the second things which comes in my mind about relationship is Communication. Communication plays a very important role in each relationship. Being a husband and being a wife your communication to your partner is very much useful. You need to communicate with your partner so that he or she can understand you well. In a new married life especially in arrange marriage there is much need of communication between each other so that you both will be know about each other well and you will come to know about each other behavior. Communication plays a key-role in enhancing your relationship. Tell him/her about your daily routine , office life, your habits and you liking and disliking.
Next things comes to mind is Trust and support. Trust is the root of your relationship. You need to trust each other whatever the situation is this. I am not saying that you can trust blindly on each other but at least listen to her/him , take some time , think and then take a decision. If you can't trust each other then your relationship will not go longer. Now support is a word which defines also your trust on your partner. The more you trust on your partner, more you support him/her. Always support your better-half on any circumstances. She left her home , her family and relatives only for you. Now this is your responsibility to support her and make her feel special. May be she is wrong sometimes , then also talk to her , discuss with her , try to see her point of view and decide whether she is right or wrong.
Now the next important point is Respect to each other. Always respect your partner. It is for both , the husband and the wife. If you can't respect your wife or husband then you can you expect from others to respect your partner. I can't imagine a healthy relationship without the respect between two people. There are plenty of things my wife and I don't agree on. But that doesn't mean to be disrespect to her. A lot of minor disagreements can lead to major unhappiness.
There are so many other prospective which we can consider. They are endless but these are some crucial points which can lead to a healthy and successful marriage life.

Both the Samsung Gear S3 and the Zenwatch 3 promise to be powerful and nice looking smartwatches.
Which one is better and why?
For starters, they are pretty different watches at different price points. The Gear S3 is about $100 more than the Zenwatch 3, so we expect it to be better…and it definitely is in many ways better.
There are many more significant differences. Watch the video for more details:

Day Three was a monster. After two days, I felt like I was getting the hang of things. But I had no idea what I was in for.
I will have to go back and check the footage, but I believe this was the morning when there was a beautiful spider web on the back patio and I asked Harry to shoot it before the day began.
I was having a Terrence Malick moment. I waited on him while I was working at Hamburger Hamlet back in 2004. He could not have been nicer. He was eating with Wallace Shawn, which was a double thrill.
I have no idea who the third person in the group was, maybe a British billionaire. Or this guy, Jim Piddock (From Best in Show, and others):
Terrence Malick said to me, "Alex, I've been coming here for thirty years. I've never gotten past #1 on the menu." (That was the All-American Burger.) They drank Patron Silver Margaritas on the rocks and talked and laughed the whole time. Stephen Dorff was sitting at a table across from them with one of his reps. He asked me what Mr. Malick was drinking, and when I told him, promptly ordered one for himself. For a "bad boy" actor, he was pretty friendly, and it was sort of charming how nervous he was to be in the presence of a legendary filmmaker. He eventually went over to the table to say hello, and I was standing there as Mr. Malick greeted him warmly. His flustered reply to the director of Badlands was "Hamburger Hamlet.. It's the best." Adorable. I also thought he was great in Sofia Coppola's Somewhere.
Regarding my own movie, I have a thousand regrets. One of my greatest is that I cut out the shot of the spider. It was in a montage to begin the morning of the second day, and in my hope to make the movie as lean as possible without breaking it, I cut that and a few other things I liked.
I felt Day 1 and 2 didn't belong to me, so when I saw that damn spider web, I wanted it. Hell, this was a movie about people trapped in a house. The spider web is symbolic!!! Also, part of the idea of the movie was that the characters needed to get more in touch with their natural selves, and stop being the Hollywood wimps they had become. So nature.
At some point, I had an 86 minute cut of the movie. I showed it to people and they felt like it was too long. An editor who advised me in the process felt there was a really good 75 minute movie in there. So that's what I went for. I don't know. Maybe I could have split the difference. Or maybe people would have felt the extra five minutes was too much?
We'll never know.
(Unless you want to watch that version and I'll send you a vimeo link.)
So if you look at the schedule, the first three shots are Zach and Hoodie Man in the backyard. It's 1 5/8 pages.
It took a long time to shoot. At least long by the standards of this movie. It was about two hours. 10 A.M. and we were already bleeped.
First thing was the sun. We kept getting shadows where they shouldn't be. (We didn't have one of those fancy balloons you might see that float above the actors and diffuse the sunlight or actually light the scene.)
Then there were planes. We were pretty close to Burbank Airport.
Then it was just doing the scene.
I'm looking at the schedule and despite the insanity of getting in all those shots, people pulled it together and we got some really good work.
But it was the first day when I was told we were running behind and were going to have to cut things. I had to start thinking on my feet, instead of thinking on my ass. (Writing at my desk.) It was a butt-kicking.
I think it's all about finding a rhythm and pace that is faster than you're comfortable with, but using that lack of comfort to make you work harder and more efficiently. They say with running that your warm-up can be at conversational pace, but to actually get results, you're not working until you can't talk.
So Day Three was the day when we got bogged down in the proverbial mud. It wasn't shooting Apocalypse Now, but it was running at an uncomfortable pace.
I'm also learning this lesson in the sitcom writing class I'm taking. How to fit the most good stuff into a very small space. It's been a great exercise for me, because the format is so rigid that you need to make things as tight and efficient as possible. I think I had became a bit lazy with my writing. There's a big difference between fun for me to write and fun for you to read. And this applies to the final product of the movie. Every second is important. As our teacher said last night, "10 seconds of screen time is an eternity." Especially for a comedy. FAST. FAST. FAST. It might be fun for me to watch. I wrote it. I made it. These moments are all my little darlings. But if you're not me, you probably don't find them all that cute. They might even be dull. So I gotta pick up the pace and go.

The Pretend Husband and I were woken by a phone call at 4:30 this morning from our photog friend, BAC, to announce the birth of his daughter. Yay!
Of course, it meant we were awake at 4:30 a.m. and we got a little punchy with random comments and poking each other to move off our side of the bed, etc. The last couple of nights, the PH has curled up with a sofa pillow he named "Frankie" (yeah, he's weird), so he turned his back on me and cuddled with Frankie.
FunnyGal KAT: Frankie is a boy's name.
PH: No, Frankie can be a girl's name, too. Frankie is a girl.
KAT: Well, what's her full name? (meaning, what's it short for?)
PH: Rodrigues. Frankie Rodrigues.
KAT: Is she related to A-Rod [who plays for the Yankees]? (The PH is a die-hard Red Sox fan so I knew this would get his goat)
PH: No, she's G-U-E-S. She doesn't associates with the clan who spells it G-U-E-Z.
KAT: What is wrong with you?
So many books...

This is 'Peace,' who took his own life last week.
I just came from the memorial service, where I read a poem that Peace had composed.
Dorian gave me a stack of poems he'd written and said, "pick one," so I picked the one I have posted below. After telling her my choice she said, "That's the one I was hoping you'd pick!"
"Then why didn't you just hand me that one and ask me to read it at the service?" I asked.
"Because, this way, I'm certain it's the right choice!"
I will write a new rhyme
that will blow up your mind.
Elevate you into a new dimension.
No fear of darkness here, just liberation.
Hold on tight for the ride
it will free you inside
just have faith in a future that is better than now.
Make your dreams manifest
And leave your past behind
You can do anything
if you dare to succeed
Nothing stopping you now
Just have faith and believe.
Make your dreams manifest
And leave your past behind.
Angels watch your back
you can be in the light.
You can feel all the love manifesting inside.
Fear is nothing but thoughts
of a future not real
Be in the now
and alive you will feel.
Spread your wings and take flight
chase your dreams all day long
leave your worries behind
Life is only a song
that makes you feel good
You can choose all the lyrics
and become what you want
elevating your mood.
Light, I'm in the light
I'm stronger than ever before
Watch me now as I walk through the door
I'm stronger than ever before.
There's no reason to fear
what is no longer here
what could never become
it will make you feel numb.
It could mess with your head
Make you wish you were dead.
Just hold on to the light
let your spirit take flight
Hold on, have faith,
Reach out, dreams manifest
Stay strong, in the light you belong
this is your freedom song.
This is your freedom song.
Reach out, stay bright,
you deserve to enjoy
all of your life.
Suffering leaves you stuck in the dark
you can now make your mark.
Light, I'm in the light
I'm stronger than ever before
Watch me now as I walk through the door.
Watch me now as I walk through the door.
May 2018 ~ by Peaceful Ocean

The only option the college has to locate a student on campus is via the student's class schedule. A student cannot be located if he/she is not in class. There must be an extreme emergency to justify interrupting the classroom. An extreme emergency would include a sick child needing to be picked up at daycare; a serious injury to a family member; a death in the family; or other traumatizing event. The classroom will not be disturbed to deliver a message to remind the student to take care of personal business matters such as work schedules; keeping doctor appointments; to pay bills; or to stop by the grocery store. These issues have to be managed by the student outside the classroom. The student must make sure he/she communicates daily with relevant family members and others about their whereabouts especially if their schedule changes in any way. Remember, a student cannot be located unless he/she is in class should a legitimate emergency arise.

Combined with viewer voting they were safe from the dance-off that week.In Episode 4 they performed the Tango which was was convincingly impressive - the judges called it his best work on the season to date and scored them 29/40, which tied them for third place (once again with Anele and Brandon).Once again they were safe from the dance-off when viewer votes were added.In the fifth episode Robynn and Adil struggled with the Paso Doble, although it was Adil who bore the brunt of the judges' wrath. The couple scored 23/40 - their lowest score of the series - which placed them in joint last place (tied once again, incredibly, with Anele and Brandon).Thie time around the viewer votes were not enough to save the couple, who ended up in the dance-off against Gugu Zulu and his partner Sarah Cooper.Although judge Salome Sechele voted to save Adil and Robynn, the other three judges - Dave Campbell, Tyrone Watkins and Lilian Phororo - voted to keep Gugu and Sarah.Robynn and Adil thus became the third couple voted out of the competition, on 30 October, 2008.

Yesterday's broadcast of the Advent Carol Service from St John's College, Cambridge (which, strangely, actually took place a week ago), once again included several pieces of more recent music.
The newly commissioned piece came from a composer i've not heard of, James Long. Long's anthem, Vigilate, weaves together words from the Biblical books of Mark andamp; Revelation to arrive at a text that, in a nutshell, backs up its titular imperative—"watch!"—with an emphatic "or else". The music is fairly standard-issue new choral music, yet it's not without some telling moments; the opening andamp; closing stanzas perhaps punch hardest, andamp; while Long's use of snatches of Latin to echo the English is odd, the appearance of "gallicantu" ("cock's crow") is nicely judged. The middle stanzas lose their way somewhat, getting bogged down in the words, but the conclusion of "and every eye shall see him, And they also which pierced him", where the men's voices are abruptly silenced to leave just the trebles, is very striking.

The everyday practices of maternity and beauty are important for the enactment of femininity. This dissertation deals with femininities created in the context of changing ideas about "normality" in Soviet Russia during the mid 1930s-1960s and explores a diversity of norms, discourses and rituals. The main sources are women's magazines, advice books, and interviews with women living now in three different cities of the Russian Federation – Moscow, Saratov (Volga region) and Ufa (capital of Bashkortostan Republic).
The results of the research suggest that some parts of the Soviet discourses on maternity and beauty turn out to be similar to those that were characteristic for other European countries of the same historical period. At the same time the interviews show that the modern practices of medical and welfare institutions, the consumption of clothes as well as advice about appearance and childcare were situated in the context of shortages of goods, women's work outside of home, rhetorics of the "naturalness" of maternity for every woman as well as that of a woman's particular need to care about looking nice. Together with the home reproduction of many rural/patriarchal rituals of maternity and beauty it led to a contradictory everyday performance of femininity. Fluctuating categories of social status, ethnical belonging, geographical location and generation also contributed to a diversity of femininity constructions. Common sense normativities concerning practices of becoming a mother, caring for a baby and making oneself beautiful suggest that Soviet discourses on maternity and beauty were only partly accepted and reproduced by women. They were also partly rejected and subverted in everyday practices. The analysis of maternity and beauty practices shows that performative femininities were utterly complex.

Behind the Scenes: How Microsoft and RockStep Built an IoT solution for Research Labs
RockStep Solutions creates world-class scientific data management tools for research. Its innovative software system – Climb - is designed to transform and modernize information management in a laboratory setting.
As research facilities have thousands of units to house animals, and these units need to be checked on a regular basis to ensure the conditions are within compliance, Microsoft joined RockStep to develop a multi-tenant IoT solution that helps reduce operating and maintenance costs for their clinical trial customers. By reducing the number of visits to each unit they can cut maintenance and operating costs and improve the overall health of animals.
Join Jerry Nixon as he welcomes the team from RockStep – Abigail Ames and Keith Sheppard – as well as James Sturtevant and Nick Landry from Microsoft as they describe how the implemented this solution – from concept to deployment – in a matter of a few days.

Ok I've unflagged this. If you have any specific issues feel free to mention
them. But this is not the same package as the official arch mutt package, and
I'm not trying to sync or copy it.
Jonhoo commented on 2015-07-03 19:25
It's out of date in the sense that the dependency list, compilation flags, and included files (package()) are not synced with the upstream Arch package, and do not represent the current state of mutt upstream.
louipc commented on 2015-07-03 19:22
This is a source control based package. What is out of date about it?
Jonhoo commented on 2015-03-16 20:25
I've rewritten the PKGBUILD so that it is synchronized with Arch mutt PKGBUILD to simplify verification of the package if anyone is interested. Updated aurball here: https://jon.thesquareplanet.com/share/mutt-hg.src.tar.gz, PKGBUILD here: https://jon.thesquareplanet.com/share/mutt-hg.PKGBUILD (install file is same as for Arch mutt).

If you're building packages from source you should install the base-devel group.
Any package in that group used for building shouldn't need to be specified in makedepends.

Thoughts on the Career Software Developer
I just finished reading an excellent post by fellow TechTarget blogger Ron Richard entitled "The career, software developer (your comments appreciated)". His post is one which can't help but spur its readers thoughts both into their past and their future, at least for me it certainly did. The post ends by asking 20 questions — each of which is very capable of spurring significant discussion.
I immediately found myself wanting to respond with an answer to his question number 19. His question? "Will peer programming in the future involve a human and robot?" Perhaps I'm somewhat old-fashioned, (my grandchildren have pointed that out to me in the past), but I just can't get a picture in my mind of the software developer robot. Perhaps it would be an interesting artistic effort to create one! But that aside, I find myself questioning the use of the word "peer" in relation to a robot and a human being. I just can't envision that!
Our software development tools are getting smarter, they do think ahead for us in some instances as they fill-in the command it thinks we are going to use. I cannot conceive of the robot developer understanding anything but the most detailed of application requirements. The "artistry" of software development — particularly application software development — belongs to the human being. I certainly CAN conceive of the human "guiding" the robot wizard as it creates the application"code" (…probably not understandable by the human at that point…) which runs the logic and UI. Actually as I think about it, I could use some of that robot influence today!
Robotic software development I believe, and I hope is a long way off in the future. By that point in time, I won't be trying to earn my living as a software developer, and I can read all about it in the tech journals and be amazed. Until then I can keep coding and dream on!

If you find your Blog/Blogger ID on this list? You might want to take the situation seriously. Very seriously. Because Blogger takes violations of it's Terms of Service and Blogger Content Policy seriously.
Blogs/Bloggers on the list above may be subjected to the following penalties.
|Delete the offending content, blog post or blog.
Disable the author's access to his/her Blogger account.
Disable the author's access to his/her Google account.
Report the user to law enforcement. (Source).
On the other hand, you may decide to not take this "reporting" seriously, given who the complainant is. It's a crazy, paranoid, deluded troll who thinks everyone is attacking him & plagiarizing his blog posts.
|Luke: Since you insist on stealing my posts, I'll post them on your thread and make it easy for you. [Full text of post from Luke's blog Speak Your Mind titled The Clinton Machine]. (7/27/2016 AT 5:43pm).
Luke: I proved Shaw stole my post 3 times. You did miss it lying asshole and I'm not reproving it for a lying asshole like you. Again, check my blog for that Nader post lying asshole. Say what you want my blog proves alll of you lying assholes. By asshole. (8/07/2016 AT 3:23pm).
According to Luke Spencer's (his Google Plus ID) blog sidebar "their goal seems to be to force bloggers to close down their blogs". And he added "If they attack you, report it to Blogger, I did". "Their" being the bloggers on the list above. Apparently all these bloggers (myself included) are "buddies".
Although I know for a fact that nobody I mentioned initially is a buddy to either Lisa or Free Thinke. Also, Luke attributes "Dog Report" to -FJ, who, as far as I know is not Flying Junior. They're 2 different bloggers.
The following is the comment moderation note from Luke's Speak Your Mind blog.
|Due to continuous attacks on my blog by Rational Nation and multiple other aliases (RN), The Oracular Opinion and Blogger Sleuth (Pam), Progressive Eruptions (Shaw), Sleeping With The Devil and 5 other blogs (Dervish Sanders) and their continuous plagiarism of my posts, I have set moderation. If you have trouble with these nasty trolls report them to Blogger, I did.
Anyway, as "buddies" all these bloggers are apparently harassing poor Luke by plagiarizing his posts and attacking his blog. Now, I don't know if anyone else is plagiarizing his posts, but I can speak for myself. And I can say I'd never heard of this Luke character until he showed up on my blog and submitted one of his posts as a comment (the first one I quoted above).
And it looks like Luke is super pissed at Shaw Kenawe because she stole his posts 3 times! I asked him for proof in the form of some links to where this "stealing" occurred, but he refused. So I concluded it never happened. I think you've got to prove something ONCE before you can "reprove" it.
As for the "Nader post" Luke talks about, he submitted a commentary titled "Hillary's Convention Con" from Ralph Nader's website to the RNUSA blog (as a comment) without saying where it came from (making it look like he was submitting it as something he had written).
|Shaw Kenawe: For a troll who runs around the internet accusing people of plagiarizing his work, it is hilarious to read "Luke's" two comments which were taken word-for-word from Ralph Nader's site. At the end of his post on the DNC convention and Hillary, it does say "share and enjoy." But "Luke", who accuses people of stealing his work (false, BTW), should have either linked to the original text or at the very least, put Nader's name to it. So it goes. (7/31/2016 AT 09:25:00 AM EDT).
Luke didn't see the problem with him posting this on the RNUSA blog without attributing it to Ralph Nader. Apparently it says (somewhere) on Ralph Nader's site that people should copy and paste his articles onto as many blogs as possible. And, when you do that, you should never tell anyone where you got it or who wrote it. I don't know if this is true or not. I looked around Nader's site but all I found is the "share and enjoy" notation after each Nader commentary.
Maybe Luke thinks it says "share and annoy"? Which I think people were. Although I think they were more annoyed by Luke's accusations of theft. He tried it on Pamela's blog, and she promptly deleted everything he had written and banned him.
|Pamela Hart: Luke, you aren't welcome here anymore. I will not tolerate you accusing me of plagiarizing your posts. (8/8/2016 AT 12:59pm).
As for the plagiarism accusations, nobody stole any posts from Luke's blog. Or maybe they did. He comments on Lisa's blog (Who's Your Daddy, AKA "the stench trench") and a lot of spoofing goes on there, apparently. I look every once and awhile, and see people saying that some comments are from sock puppets. I think someone there spoofs Shaw's ID. And maybe the Shaw spoof stole from Luke's blog? But that's a guess. Only problem with that theory is that Luke says Shaw stole from his blog and posted it on her blog (as if she had written it). (Luke told me to check Shaw's blog for his content).
The same accusation he made against me and against Pamela. I know I never stole his stuff, and I very seriously doubt Shaw or Pamela stole his posts (there is no proof). So I'm going to go with Luke being crazy. That, or he thinks it's funny to pretend to be crazy. Although he does apparently write his own stuff (excepting the Nader post, which is on his blog). I ran a few of his commentaries through a plagiarism checker and the checker said it didn't find anything.
I did this because he made a huge stink when Jerry Critter called him "Cut and paste Luke", which caused him to call me an a-hole and swear at me a lot. Because (in response to Jerry), I asked "you know who he's cutting and pasting from this time"? (the other time being copying from Ralph Nader).
Perhaps I'd say, "sorry I implied you stole everything on your blog. That doesn't appear to be the case". But stealing was the accusation he made against me with his very first comment on my blog! And the dipshit KNOWS I never stole his stuff. So f*ck him. Perhaps I should report him! Although I'm quite sure absolutely NOTHING will come of this "reporting".
Because this has happened to me before. I did something that another blogger was convinced was going to get my Blogger account blocked.
|dmarks: I forwarded all [of Dervish Sanders'] comments to Google as spam, which often results in them classifying an account as spam and blocking it. (2/24/2013 AT 11:55am) See also SWTD #124.
This was back in February of 2013, and my account was never classified as spam and blocked. Mainly because dmarks never actually forwarded my comments to Blogger. I determined later (via reading his comments regarding what he did) that he just checked the box next to each of my comments and then clicked the spam button (while in the Blogger dashboard). Doing this does NOT forward comments to Blogger. And it NEVER (let alone "often") results in an account being classified as spam and blocked.
Blogger is only interested in spam blogs put up by professional spammers. Or "posting comments on other people's blogs just to promote your site or product" (source). They aren't interested in comments that someone (dmarks) might consider spam but are actually only annoying. Which is what my comments were. I annoyed him for a little while after he banned me because I called BS in regards to post he wrote concerning guns and Chicago (a post in which he put forward the gun nut argument, which is that Chicago is proof that gun regulation doesn't work).
Which isn't to say that Luke did something similar (only thinks he "reported" the blogs in question). Maybe he really did Report inappropriate content (on the linked to page). None-the-less I predict nothing will come of it. Especially considering the fact that Luke's accusations are all completely bogus.
Nobody is "harassing" him, nor is anyone stealing his content. Although, even if anyone was, it looks to me like Blogger is only concerned with copyrighted material (as they cite their copyright policy under this section). Has Luke copyrighted his blog posts? I doubt it. Not that anyone stole his posts anyway, so obviously this policy wouldn't apply either way.
Also, "harassment" has a legal definition, and, according to FindLaw "not all petty annoyances constitute harassment. Instead, most state laws require that the behavior cause a credible threat to the person's safety or their family's safety". It doesn't mean "someone is annoying me by submitting comments to my blog when I don't want them to".
This also has happened to me (someone claimed I was "harassing" them and said they were going to report me). The person told me to not comment on their blog anymore but I didn't listen (submitted more comments). And, while I don't know if he followed through and "reported" me, I do know nothing happened (OST #15).
The point being that nobody should be worried about being reported by Luke. Not that I think anyone is. If they've visited his blog and seen the notice (via his sidebar or comment moderation note) that says Luke reported them. Or that he's encouraging others to report "these nasty trolls" (IDs listed above). Nobody else will report anything. Because what Luke alleges never happened. And I seriously doubt Blogger cares about imaginary harassment or imaginary plagiarism.
BTW, if you want to report Luke, you can do so here (report inappropriate content). Then select either to report Luke for "harassment or bullying" or "Spam" (re him spamming his content to other blogs). Not that either of these actually apply. Since, as I pointed out, Blogger is really only concerned with copyrighted material and actual bullying (NOT someone being annoying). But if Luke can report other Bloggers for imaginary offenses, certainly those he is reporting can do the same.
Updates: 8/30/2016: Luke Spencer changed the title of his blog to "Words & Music". 11/24/2016: Luke Spencer removed the lies concerning people plagarizing him as well as the comment moderation note from his blog (DSD #49).

how on earth is taking a reactive metal salt in any way better than taking actual medication
Caesium compounds are rarely encountered by most persons. All caesium compounds should be regarded as mildly toxic because of its chemical similarity to potassium. Large amounts cause hyperirritability and spasms, but such amounts would not ordinarily be encountered in natural sources, so Cs is not a major chemical environmental pollutant.
Anyway, google, as ever, turns up a wondrous store of information on cesium - venture to the wilder reaches at your peril!

As I told Beca T. Weed today, "The Mayan calendar must be right. The end of the world is near!"
Whether I like it or not, I have joined Twitter.
As I explained on the With Care Facebook page:
It's with deep soul searching that I've decided to abandon Facebook for the greene
r lands of Twitter. I didn't really want to do it, my attention span is short enough as is and doesn't need any encouragement. I know that Twitter can be a divisive topic. I'm sorry if I'm slighting anyone but I'd love to be able to offer With Care promotions and contests to more than 15-40 people without having to pay for access to the other 345-320, you know? I'll leave all this goodness up for future internet archeologists to find and please feel free to add me to your buddies on Instagram or Twitter @withcarejewelry on both.
So. That's kind of a bummer. A lot of people spent a lot of time working hard to promote their businesses and gain interested followers. It's appalling to see the company that we made successful hold all of those connections hostage.
And now for my monthly Instagram photopuke.

Surface Reconstruction for a DIET breast cancer screening system
Brown, R.G.

This paper outlines a method for accurately tracking surface motion on an actuated breast as part of a Digital Image-based Elasto-Tomography (DIET) breast cancer screening project. The tracking method is validated in both simulation and experiment on a silicon breast phantom which has similar elasticity characteristics to human breast tissue. Given mean reprojection error ranges between 0.3 and 0.5 pixels for 2M pixel cameras the end result is sub-millimetre surface tracking of a silicon phantom actuated at 100 Hz. This highly accurate, fast and low cost method of tracking is thus well suited to a DIET system.

I like going to New York. I like the galleries and the theatre and the restaurants and bars and music. I think that city is more alive than Los Angeles.Sara Gilbert
Los Angeles gives one the feeling of the future more strongly than any city I know of. A bad future, too, like something out of Fritz Lang's feeble imagination.Henry Miller
Los Angeles is a city looking for a ritual to join its fragments, and The Doors are looking for such a ritual also. A kind of electric wedding. We hide ourselves in the music to reveal ourselves.Jim Morrison
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.Marcus Tullius Cicero
As much valour is to be found in feasting as in fighting, and some of our city captains and carpet knights will make this good, and prove it.Robert Burton
I can tell you that tonight in Des Moines, Iowa, my home town, people all across the city will be putting a hand to their ears and saying "What is that sound?", and it will be the sound of Mr De Vito, my High School Careers Officer, spinning in his grave.William Cullen Bryant
I, who loved and knew you, In the city that slew you, Still hunger on, and thirst, and climb, proud-hearted and alone: Serpent-fears enfold me, Syren-visions hold me, And, like a wave, I gather strength, and gathering strength, I moan; Yea, the pale moon beckons, Still I follow, aching, And gather strength, only to make a louder moan, in breaking!Robert Williams Buchanan
In the fledgling days of the town, the notorious Block 16 was set aside for card games and prostitution. Sin and commerce have marched hand-in-hand ever since, but this alliance made Las Vegas no more atypical than any other American city of the time. The difference is that Las Vegas extolled with pride what other places sought to hide. To the commonplace culture of heavily populated cities and industrial towns that made up the urban fabric of the country, Las Vegas alone stood as the behavioral "Other," a land where the "victimless" crimes of sex, drink, and gambling were not only condoned, but celebrated.MARK GOTTDIENER
Las Vegas history, the real Las Vegas history, makes fops and fools of even the most sincere explorers. The city's story is riddled with blind alleys, dead ends, crazy twists, and outright fabrication.JOHN L. SMITH
As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.Gore Vidal
Among the noblest in the land - Though man may count himself the least - That man I honor and revere, Who without favor, without fear, In the great city dares to stand, The friend of every friendless beast.Henry W. Longfellow
City employees will be hired and promoted because of their abilities - without outside interferenceJane Byrne
How absurd it must seem for an immortal soul to be destined for Heaven or Hell, and yet be sitting in a kitchen, as a maid, or to see oneself objectified as a mechanic! how falsely the usual sunrise waked us, the clock dial, the city street the job! How wrongfully people find themselves in these systems our time isn't there, our space isn't there, our space isn't even here... the whole social story of waking, and certainly the day of the mechanic, is false.Ernst Simon Bloch
