In this modern era, Peoples are more conscious of security. Most peoples are using smartphone, tab, PC or any smart gadgets. Android is a popular platform of phones and tab. Obviously, You want to secure your personal files and data in your android device. Probably, You are using pin, password or pattern lock to protect your files. But is it enough? In one word, No. So, You should encrypt android device to protect your data. Don't worry. You can do it very easily. In this article, You will know it.
Why You Should Encrypt Android Device:
Normally, If you secure your file by a PIN / Password or Pattern, It is still possible to get access those personal files. Normal secured data can be read by following some special ways. When, You encrypt your files, It is almost impossible to read those things without proper credentials. Only, You can access your data by entering a pin or password. It looks very simple. But, To other peoples, It doesn't look so simple. They must know your credential to break the security. Even, They won't be able to access encrypted personal files with ADB or any bootloader. Even, Deleted encrypted files can't be recovered with any recovery apps or programs.
If your encrypted android device goes to any third-person, Your data will be safe. Even, No malicious app can track your files. It is a very good reason to encrypt your phone.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind:
If you wish to encrypt your device, It will be wise decision. Still there is a think, You will have to keep in your mind. Encryption can cause less or more performance decrease. If you encrypt your old android device, You may experience poor performance issue. Your device will be slower. For modern device, It won't cause so much performance issue. But, Still it will be noticeable. Another, Problem – A few devices offer unencrypt feature. That means, Most of the time, You may not have any chance to remove encryption without factory reset. So, Before going forward, Think twice.
How to Encrypt Your Android Device:
When security concern is a big matter, You can decide to encrypt your smartphone / tab. It is a wise decision indeed. There are two major ways to do it. I'll explain both.
Encrypt Android Device Using Built-in Feature:
Every android phones come with its own security features. If you are using lollipop, Marshmallow even earlier kitkat or any other older versions, Follow those things given below.
In some devices, You may not see any encryption options in security settings. In that case, Do these things:
After encrypting your android phone, You can't unencrypt it without reset. Encrypted files, photos, music can be access by a password, pin or pattern depends on your preference.
Encrypt Android Phone / Tab. Using Third Party App:
If your device has not such features for encryption, You may look forward to any popular third-party app. But, Choose wisely, Which app you are going to use to encrypt android phone. Don't pick any ordinary app. It can damage your personal files or cause serious problem in your phone that only can be fixed by factory reset.
Here are some popular options, That you can pick.
You can find all of them in google play store.
Hope, This article will help you to encrypt your android device. If you have any thing better suggestion, You can share by comment.

Tokyo Bay
Great article by Michael D. Hull ["Payoff in Tokyo Bay," September 2017]. However, the last sentence, in which he states that visitors to Missouri can stand on "the same teak-covered quarterdeck" where World War II ended, is somewhat misleading. The original planking from the deck where the surrender of Japan took place was cut from Missouri and is displayed on the wall at the MacArthur Memorial in Norfolk, Va.
James R. Recker
Indianapolis, Ind.
Editor responds: In 1999 USS Missouri opened as a museum ship [ussmissouri.org] at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, within sight of the USS Arizona Memorial. A plaque marks the spot on the surrender deck atop which Allied and Japanese representatives signed the surrender documents, ending World War II. While the MacArthur Memorial [macarthurmemorial.org] proudly displays a replica of the plaque and planking, Missouri retains "the same teak-covered quarterdeck" from that historic Sunday, Sept. 2, 1945.
American Sieges
Interesting article on sieges in American history ["On the Inside Under Fire," by Ron Soodalter, July 2017]. Putting the cannons from Fort Ticonderoga on display around the port of Boston was a brilliant maneuver, but the author failed to disclose there was absolutely no shot or powder available for those cannons. In other words, it was a gargantuan bluff.
Richard Gearon
Tucson, Ariz.
Editor responds: You're absolutely right about the gunpowder shortage in Boston, a crisis precipitated in part by British Lt. Gen. Thomas Gage's confiscation of supplies from a powder house in Charlestown prior to the outbreak of hostilities. But part of the brilliance of Colonel Henry Knox's retrieval of cannons from Ticonderoga was his simultaneous transport of the powder and shot to arm the guns. Thus a very willing George Washington was finally able to threaten the British with actual action, albeit limited to the supplies he had on hand.
[Re. "444 Days in Hell, March 2017:] Ron Soodalter describes Ayatollah Khomeini as a "scholarly, charismatic individual who combined an appreciation of ancient Persian poetry with a thorough knowledge of, and devotion to, the Quran." Quoting writer Eugene Solomon, he continues the description of Khomeini's personality as exuding "a captivating moral urgency and prophetic power."
This is quite a benign description for an individual who imposed an 8th century theocracy on a modern nation. The entire world now sees the morality of his vision.

Yank in the SS
When I picked up the January 2017 issue and read the article "A Yank in the SS," by Ron Soodalter, it literally sent a cold shiver down my spine. It is the first time I had ever seen a public acknowledgement of my father's World War II outfit, the U.S. Army Air Forces 354th Air Service Squadron, a small and very specified unit of 385 men. Any mention of the organization typically eludes most common web searches. Your article helped me understand more clearly the 354th's role in the war.
It's unfortunate, however, the information received comes in the context of a person (Martin Monti does not deserve the word American, soldier or man) defecting to the Nazis. Having met a number of the 354th servicemen through multiple war reunions, I am positive each and every one of them would have stopped this perpetrator through whatever means possible had they known his intentions.
That said, my father once shared a story about lack of security: He had suffered a broken bone in an air raid in North Africa. Before rejoining his unit, he was well enough to walk with crutches and attended the Casablanca Conference. Needless to say, an enlisted man's presence shows a certain laxness, but he recalled that at least one local man with camel in tow pretty much walked right up to the high-ranking participants. I remember him saying, "Now if that guy was a German, history would have been changed."

The Silver Lake Reservoirs comprise two concrete-lined basins, Ivanhoe Reservoir and Silver Lake, divided by a spillway, in the Silver Lake community of Los Angeles, California.
The lower body of water was named in 1906 for Water Board Commissioner Herman Silver, and in turn lends its name to the neighborhood.[1] The upper body received its name after the 1819 Sir Walter Scott novel Ivanhoe.[2]
The reservoirs are owned and maintained by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP), and could provide water to 600,000 homes in downtown and South Los Angeles;.[3] Only the smaller of the two, Ivanhoe, remains online. At capacity, it holds 795 million US gallons (3,010,000 m3) of water.[3] The Silver Lake Reservoir's water resources will be replaced by the Headworks Reservoir, an underground reservoir north of Griffith Park, slated for completion by December 2017.[4]
The reservoir is the focal point of the community and has evolved as a regional recreational resource. It is surrounded by several recreational areas, including a dog park on the south, a nursery school on the north, and the Silver Lake Recreation Center, which includes a basketball court on the south side of the lake. There is also a walking and jogging path, which stretches 2.2 miles (3.5 km) around the reservoir.[2] In April 2011, the City of Los Angeles opened up for public use a three-acre passive park on the east side of the lake dubbed the "Silver Lake Meadow," modeled after the Sheep Meadow in New York's Central Park. In January 2014, some local residents proposed transforming the Ivanhoe part of the reservoir into a public, beach-like swimming venue titled "Silver Lake Plunge" but informally dubbed "Hipster Beach."[5]
Environmental issues[edit]
In December 2007, the DWP announced that the Silver Lake and Ivanhoe reservoirs had both become contaminated with unusually high levels of the cancer-causing chemical bromate, and were immediately isolated.[6] The reservoirs were both drained over several weeks in March 2008,[1] and refilled in May 2008.[3]
Two months later, 400,000 black hollow plastic shade balls were placed in Ivanhoe, which remain in use, to reduce the likelihood of the sunlight-fueled bromate. Silver Lake Reservoir was taken offline permanently.[7][8] This incident pointed out the necessity of protecting the water supply by using underground tanks. The black plastic balls were created in Allentown, Pennsylvania by Orange Products Inc. The balls are also used at airports to prevent birds from landing in water runoff, thus preventing birds from being drawn into aircraft engines. The balls were certified by NSF International which certifies the safety of food, water, and consumer goods. In February 2013 LADWP contracted with Glendora, California-based manufacturer XavierC LLC to supply an additional 6.4 million hollow plastic shade balls for reservoirs.[9]

Founding Dean Paul R. Cohen of the School of Computing and Information Receives Nearly $1 Million Grant from DARPA
Dr. Paul R. Cohen, Founding Dean and Professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information, along with Dr. Mark Roberts in the Graduate School of Public Health and Dr. Greg Cooper in the Department of Biomedical Informatics, have received nearly $1 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for their project titled, "Curating Probabilistic Relational Agent-based Models."
Agent-based models, which simulate interactions between individuals to assess their effects on systems, are widely used in fields such as epidemiology, traffic engineering and systems biology. However, the technology to build agent-based models is surprisingly primitive. No algorithms exist to create large-scale ABMs semi-automatically, and current ABM development frameworks make no contact with modern knowledge technologies such as ontologies, machine reading, and machine learning.
This project aims to develop probabilistic models and algorithms for incremental, human-machine development of ABMs. These methods will be demonstrated in both a disease outbreak problem and a long-term economic risk-modeling problem.
"This award nicely highlights our mission," says Cohen. "The School of Computing and Information, and its Modeling and Managing Complicated Systems Institute, work with many stakeholders on hard modeling problems. In this case, we're working with Drs. Roberts and Cooper on disease modeling and with institutional investors on long-term risk."
If successful, the project would integrate data, text, and human expertise in ABM development. It would provide a clear semantics for agents and their behaviors, and it would accelerate ABM development and maintenance.
"It can take years to build a useful, analytical model," says Cohen, "so if we can accelerate model development, then government and other policy-makers can get rational, evidence-based answers more quickly. This is the fundamental reason for the research."
This project is part of DARPA's recently announced Artificial Intelligence Exploration (AIE) program.

Seahawks Richard Sherman Named One of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential
A Tweet by Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman revealed that he has been named one of TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential people of 2014.
Here is what the magazine had to say as to why he made the list:
"Richard Sherman, of the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, isn't just the best shutdown cornerback in the NFL. His smack-talking rant during a post-game interview, immediately following the NFC championship game, sparked a national conversation about race, stereotyping, and sportsmanship. Critics were quick to label the dreadlocked star a "thug." But Sherman, a Stanford grad raised in Compton, Calif., engaged in the debate — most athletes flee social questions — and wondered if that term is really today's way of calling him the N word. In a heartbeart, Sherman altered the discourse."

Who Designed Rocket?
Each and every one shows a lot of interest about the space. Once upon a time the rockets are very less in number and the people used to look at the rockets as a wonder. But, these days, the rockets are travelling into the space in many numbers and it has become a common issue. In these days, the travelling of the rocket into the space is a normal issue but not an amazing and interesting one. But, for many decades ago, one entering into the space is happen only in the dreams. But, the travelling into the space is made real by the experiments which are made by Godard. He is born on October 5, 1882. He used to feel amazed and wonder that how the items travel into the air with the help of a fire.
Godard has declared that the rockets can be designed by using the fire and one can travel on the moon with those rockets at the age of 32. He has proved and declared that the rocket can travel in the space in the year 1915. March 26, 1926 is one of the greatest and memorable days in the history of special research. It is on that day, Godard had designed the rocket which runs with the liquid engine and examined its working. That rocket has travelled into the space with 41 feet height. The experiment which is made on that day is the base for the rockets which are running these days. Godard, who is having the rockets as the base, has designed the missiles too. Though Godard is the discoverer of these machineries, he passed away without getting his dream of rocket travelling into the space. He died on August 10, 1959 suffering from throat cancer.

Hayley Easton Street shoots 'Stealth'
movie with the
EOS 5D Mark III
© Hayley Easton Street
New York, Istanbul, London and Monaco… all of these stellar locations have had a part to play in the remarkable journey of filmmaker Hayley Easton Street's movie 'Stealth'. Shot using a Canon EOS 5D Mark III DSLR as the primary camera, this clever and engaging short offers an illuminating peek into a world that many don't know about, as well as showing how making movies can take you on a fascinating trip. CPN writer Robert Hull spoke to Hayley Easton Street to find out more…
Let's look away from the bright lights of the big city; instead, we'll focus on a young man, Josh, as he walks the streets, late at night, looking for an opportunity. We watch on as he clambers along scaffolding and climbs up it, avoiding security guards on the prowl. A soundtrack murmurs with tension and continues to build as Josh makes his way to the top of the tower in the heart of the City of London. Surveying the cityscape as the morning breaks, Josh puts something on his back, moves towards the edge of the skyscraper and jumps off. A parachute opens and he drifts down to the streets: an exhilarated base jumper ready to blend back into the drudgery of the daily commute.
Written and directed by Hayley Easton Street the movie 'Stealth' was partly inspired by the life of Dan Witchalls, a base jumper who appeared in the Channel 4 television documentary 'The Men Who Jump Off Buildings' in 2010. Dan sort of lives the life of the character Josh in the film, by breaking into buildings and doing, usually illegal, base jumps. As Easton Street explains: "Dan gets up in the middle of the night. He leaves his girlfriend in bed and sneaks out. He's done about 1,200 of these jumps."
It isn't necessarily the illegal nature of a base jumper's thrill seeking that Easton Street wanted to explore, but the way this extreme activity often takes place without the wider world's awareness. She also wanted to look at what drives a person to do it. She reveals: "I wanted to get across a 'hidden London', or a hidden anywhere, actually. It's the idea that 'stuff' is going on all the time and you don't even know it. Who would ever dream someone is breaking into buildings several hundred feet high and then jumping off the roof? I do think that it's an addiction for the people who do that. It's a compulsion."
The irony of film-making means that what looks glamorous on screen is often created in a less-than-dazzling environment. Although Easton Street did find herself on top of central London tower blocks, the nuts and bolts of 'Stealth' were concocted on a set in south London. The practicalities of the shoot were underpinned by the compact dimensions of the EOS 5D Mark III, its incredible ISO sensitivity and the versatile accessory solutions that are available for it.
"We hired a warehouse location and built a space measuring around three storeys high and about 20 feet wide," says Easton Street. "This was in order to shoot the scenes where Josh has to creep, crawl and climb around inside the scaffolding that will take him towards the top of the tower." The space helps convey the scale of Josh's task but it didn't actually leave Easton Street and her crew much room for actual manoeuvring.
She explains: "The EOS 5D Mark III was a great choice of camera because it was everything we needed in terms of usability, size and the handling, which was great. We also had a RedRock Micro rig. Because we were in that confined area, within the scaffolding set, there was no space. The EOS 5D Mark III was brilliant for that part of the shoot. We were able to get in there and move around."
The need to film Josh's prowl to his jumping-off point at night, as well as having dark scenes on the scaffold set, meant Easton Street knew she needed a camera capable of delivering the goods in low-light. In discussions with Canon over the project, the EOS 5D Mark III – with its impressive standard ISO range of 100 to 25,600 – was suggested as the solution. Not only did the Mark III rise to the challenge, it actually surpassed expectations.
"We lit the set of our warehouse location for night, so we had blue light and some streetlight effects," reveals Easton Street. "We were concerned about making sure we always got the shot. But we ended up surprised because we found out we were almost over-lighting as the EOS 5D Mark III was so good in those conditions. We were actually able to turn some lights out!"
Another aspect of the EOS 5D Mark III that Easton Street and her crew found satisfying was the image quality produced, even when using a straightforward lens. Though she had access to a wide selection of glass, Easton Street found she was more than satisfied with the results using the Canon EF50mm f/1.2L USM lens. "We kept trying to use our other lenses but it all looked so great on that 50mm lens. It just looked beautiful. We mainly ended up using the 50mm f/1.2 (and the 50mm f/1.4 on the B cam) for the interiors and rooftop, and the EF70-200mm f/2.8 for the base jump footage."
After the claustrophobic set Easton Street – who describes 'Stealth' as her first "proper" movie – and the crew were able to breathe in the fresh air, and fumes, of London in order to shoot footage from the tower tops. However, it wasn't a simple process in gaining access to the skyscraper that takes a leading role in Josh's jump. Although access to the roof of Tower 42 (formerly the NatWest Tower) had been granted, on the basis that an illegal base jump wouldn't be taking place, it was withdrawn at the last minute. "I was called up and told: 'We think you're going to come in and do a base jump anyway, so we're calling it off'."
Ultimately, these fears were calmed and the team was allowed access to Tower 42 a short time after that initial date. But being one crew member down on filming day Easton Street suddenly had the opportunity for more hands-on time with the EOS 5D Mark III. She notes: "In terms of the menus and the intuitive controls the [EOS 5D] Mark III was brilliant. I was instinctively going to the correct button for the features I wanted."
The 'Stealth' team did make a departure from using the EF50mm f/1.2L USM lens when they landed in Istanbul to film base jumpers during the first round of the ProBASE World Cup at the city's Sapphire tower. An EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM zoom lens was used with the EOS 5D Mark III to film shots from ground level with the base jumpers waiting to jump from the top of the building.
It was then back to the 50mm lens for shots at the top of the building – plus a dose of post-production trickery, which no doubt benefitted from Easton Street's experience as a Visual Effects Art Director. "We got lots of different shots of the base jumpers and then we composited a base jumper into the Tower 42 footage," she explains.
Easton Street reveals: "It was crucial the jump was absolutely believable; we didn't want to do it in cuts to get around it. Instead, as it would have been way too dangerous to even position our actor on the edge, we took a green screen up to the roof, and filmed several passes of the actor. Tower 42 has three staggered rooftops, so we shot a clean plate of our hero rooftop from an elevated roof above. Then we set up a green screen a few feet back from the edge and, from the same angle, we shot the actor jumping against the green screen."
She adds: "Despite the extra headache of setting up a green screen at 600 feet, the beauty is that the lighting matches perfectly, whereas shooting in a studio it wouldn't. When we finally tracked, repositioned and composited the actor into the handheld clean plate, it looked totally believable that he's leaping from the edge. The actor had done some skydiving so was able to do a convincing 'dummy' jump onto the ground without injuring himself."
While that tells the story of London and Istanbul, what of New York and Monaco? These destinations are actually part of the film's story now that a viewing public has had a chance to watch it.
'Stealth' was screened as part of the International Manhattan Film Festival in Greenwich Village, New York, in November 2012 and at the Monaco International Film Festival (Angel Film Awards) in Monte Carlo in early December 2012, where it won three awards in the Short Film category: Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects and Best Producer. In between it has also enjoyed a run at London's Aubin cinema and been shortlisted for IMDB's New Film-maker Award. And, if that's whetted your appetite to see it blown up big, you'll also find it screening at the Lexi Cinema in London from 28 December 2012 to 4 January 2013.
As to why 'Stealth' is getting such strong reviews and winning awards, Easton Street believes it is down to giving festival crowds something different. "When it got shortlisted by IMDB I went to the awards," she remembers. "They shortlisted six films from 185 and 'Stealth' was different from a lot of them. I'm finding this a lot: not just the subject matter, but the look of it. It has been completely different to anything else it's been shown with, which I think has done it a lot of favours."

Grey, Not Blacklist
As the trustworthiness of Dominique Strauss-Kahn's accuser disintegrates, I wonder if Kevin Drum is reconsidering his case for hotels blacklisting accused flashers and other "pervs."
In other words, if we're willing to take housekeeper reports of perv activity seriously — and we should be — there's a pretty slim chance of blacklisting an innocent man. Still, it's true: mistakes can happen.
After considering Megan McArdle's objections, Drum hedges from his "zero-tolerance" stance:
So how about this instead: Get reported once and you're given a warning. My guess is that if you just forgot to deadbolt the door, you'll never forget again after that. Do it again and you're blacklisted for a couple of years. After all, everyone deserves a chance to turn over a new leaf. So let them back in after two years, but tell them that a third strike means they're banned for good.
For the record, I'm not commenting on whether I think DSK is likely to be actually guilty or innocent – I have no idea. I'm not even sure I disagree with Drum's second proposal in light of the possibility that DSK is innocent. But this extreme case underscores the potential concerns with that type of policy. Hotel chains have a duty to protect their workers but need to ensure that their guests aren't unjustly banned by and saddled with such a serious charge. Should they adopt a blacklisting policy?

Hundreds Of Jobs In Your Preference
Nowadays there are hundreds of job opportunities that are available for people. They can pick anything they want based on their preference, considering various factors including level of education, salary, the atmosphere, the tasks required and so much more. Nowadays very few people when compared to the entire population, engage in work that requires high level of physical activity as well as jobs that risk their lives. The rest usually get jobs that need to be performed in air conditioned rooms and on computers which however could be mentally stressful.
Protection at Work
Some of the intense job roles that require the workers to use a lot of physical effort and strength would be those involved in construction sites and those that require to load and unload goods. People who work in such a field require special care while performing tasks as their life is at risk at any given moment. They involve warning signs around the site to let others know what is going on in different departments, they need to wear bright coloured uniforms so others could see and would be aware that another worker is there so that they would not accidently harm anyone, these workers need to wear helmets to protect them from any unforeseen circumstance that could bring about any form of head damage, and they also need to wear boots to protect their feet and gloves to protect their hands as they may use different types of materials in their work. It is always advisable to have a person who is a health safety representative so he can look into these factors at all times ensuring the protection of the labourers.
Physical Activity
These measures are even applicable for those who are involved in loading and unloading goods, as they lift very heavy loads. They need to be physically fit and even eat well, as their body gets stressed throughout the day. Their body also needs to get good sleep.
Courses and Training Programs
There are various courses and training programs that teach individuals how to plan and to do these activities in the right way, some places even train you and even offer you license for work such as dogging in Adelaide, manual handling, load slinging, earth moving, scaffolding and so much more.
Learning the Right Skill
With the help of courses people can learn easy techniques and ways of doing these difficult jobs. However individuals who do high effort jobs should take care of themselves well, in addition, the employer's should make sure of their protection as well. This is important as the workers need to be fit not only to do the work but also because they need to look after themselves as well as their families.

Ban Sabai Village Resort & Spa
About fifteen minutes drive from Chiang Mai's busy city center, you'll discover the Swiss-owned Ban Sabai Village Resort & Spa, a small charming retreat wrapped in a dense forest of musa siam ruby and bulbous red heliconias.
Walk through the bamboo gates, and reception welcomes you to peaceful seclusion with a warm Thai greeting and refreshing juice.
The center-most guest cabins are surrounded by a tropical garden, near a pond filled with lily pads, and a bean-shaped swimming pool. Wooden lounge chairs, umbrellas, and towels are provided.
Encircling the grounds, a stone path covered by a verdant trellis of tangling vines connects each building to reception. Lanterns of scented lemongrass pepper the property helping to keep mosquitoes at bay.
With the resort's proximity to the city, dinner reservations are easily arranged. To dine in, visit the Wild Orchid Restaurant upstairs. The helpful waitstaff serve all courses with a smile, and many dishes are prepared with local ingredients.
Catering to your physical and mental well-being is part of the Ban Sabai Village experience. Staff invite you to try their Health and Wellness program, fitness center, or choose from a large list of spa treatments including, among others, detox body wraps, foot massage, and aroma oil massage.

Dr. Bobby Brown ranks as all-time batting leader with .439 lifetime postseason averagePosted: October 26, 2016 Filed under: Baseball, MLB, Uncategorized | Tags: .439 batting average, all-time postseason batting leader, Bobby Brown, Dr. Bobby Brown, Lou Brock, Pepper Martin, Ryan Sandberg, World Series Leave a comment
The all-time playoff batting leader is a 92-year-old retired cardiologist and former president of the American League and the Texas Rangers who played his last game more than 62 years ago. Robert William Brown, aka Bobby and the Doctor, spent his short career with the Yankees, played for five World Series champions and batted .439 in the World Series, the all-time best amongst players who have at least 40 postseason plate appearances.
Brown spent eight seasons with the Yankees before retiring in 1954 at the age of 29. The left-hand hitting Brown played both shortstop and third base for New York and would up a solid .279 career hitter. But it was in the postseason that Bobby Brown shined.
In 1947, Brown hit .300 in 69 games, and played a key role when the Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in a seven-game World Series. Brown, just 22 at the time, pinch-hit four times and he came through with two doubles, a single and a walk. His double in the fourth inning of Game Seven tied the score and sent the eventual winning run to third base.
In the 1949 World Series, Brown batted .500 with six hits in twelve at-bats, including a double and two triples, and he drove in five runs. The Yankees beat the Dodgers in five games.
Then in 1950, when the Yankees swept the Phillies in the Series, the Doctor went 4-for-12, with a double and a triple.
The next season brought a fourth trip to the World Series for Brown. In five games, he had five hits in 14 at-bats for a .357 average. The Yankees defeated the New York Giants in six games. By age 26, Bobby Brown had four World Series rings.
Brown won a fifth ring with the 1952 Yankees, but before the season ended he was off to Tulane medical school.
Second on the all-time post-season batting list is Colby Rasmus, who played with Houston in 2015 and before that St. Louis in 2009. Although Rasmus never played in a World Series, he compiled a .423 playoff mark.
Pepper Martin of the Gashouse Gang Cardinals, aka the Wild Horse of the Osage, hit .500 in the 1931 World Series and .355 in 1934 to lead St. Louis to a pair of seven-game victories.
Hall of Famers Lou Brock (.391) and Ryan Sandberg (.385) rank eighth and ninth respectively on the top 10 list.
Indians-Cubs would be dream Series matchup: Somebody's got to win and get off the schneidPosted: October 20, 2016 Filed under: Baseball, MLB, Uncategorized, World Series | Tags: 1908 Cubs, 1948 Indians, baseball droughts, Bob Lemon, Frank Chance, Mordecai Brown, World Series Leave a comment
The Chicago Cubs aren't the only MLB team with a long World Series drought. The Cleveland Indians, who captured the American League pennant, haven't won a World Series since 1948.
Although the Tribe's streak pales in comparison to the Cubbies, who haven't won since 1908, it's still the second longest championship drought in baseball history.
Baseball fans across America are praying for a Cleveland-Chicago World Series, since once of those two franchises will finally get off the schneid.
When the Indians last won in 1948, Harry S. Truman was POTUS, Gentleman's Agreement starring Gregory Peck won the Oscar for Best Picture, and pacifist leader Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated.
That year Cleveland defeated the Red Sox in a one-game playoff at Fenway Park to determine to AL pennant winner. The Indians then went on to beat the Boston Braves in six games in the first World Series to be televised nationwide. Outfielder Larry Doby hit .318 to pace the Tribe, while Bob Lemon won both of his starts, including the Game 6 clincher.
The Indians won AL pennants in 1954, 1995 and 1997, but lost the World Series both times.
You have to go back 108 years to find the last time the Cubs won a World Series. In 1908, when Chicago beat the Detroit Tigers in five games for its second straight title. The Peerless Leader, Frank Chance, managed the Cubs that season and also led all batters with a .421 average. Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown and Orval Overall each won a pair of games.
The Cubs last visit to the World Series came in 1945, 71 years ago, when they lost to the Tigers in seven games. Chicago also advanced to the Fall Classic in 1910, 1918, 1929, 1932, 1935, and 1938, only to lose each time.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, currently battling the Cubs in the NLCS, also have a long championship drought. LA last appeared in the World Series in 1988, when they beat the Oakland A's in five games.
In their first three decades in Los Angeles, the transplanted Brooklynites went to the World Series nine times, winning five. But it's been 28 years since the Dodgers' last title.

Pathophysiology of diabetes leads to autoimmune disease and it's also known as IDDM, whereas it can also lead to the Peripheral insulin resistance and also known as NIDDM or "adult onset" diabetes. Pathophysiology of gestational diabetes is also one of the types which develop high blood sugar levels in pregnant women who don't have any previous history of Diabetes. Every few years, the metabolic syndromes like diabetes is re-evaluates by community the present recommendations for the classification, diagnosis, and screening of diabetes, reflecting new info from research and clinical practice which facilitates understanding current hindrance and treatment choices and cost effectiveness in treatment and management of Diabetes as told in ADA Sessions.

Common risk factors or symptoms of Diabetes include increased weight, blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride (blood fat) levels. The main goal of diabetes management is, as far as possible, to restore carbohydrate metabolism to a normal state. To achieve this goal, individuals with an absolute deficiency of insulin require insulin replacement therapy, which is given through injections or an insulin pump. Research on Insulin is extensively discussed in National Diabetes Conference and Diabetes associations.

Macro vascular complication chiefly includes retinopathy and micro vascular includes neuropathy. Diabetic retinopathy is also the foremost common micro vascular complication of diabetes. It is responsible for ∼ 10,000 new cases of blindness every year in the United States alone. The risk of developing diabetic retinopathy or other micro vascular complications of diabetes depends on both the duration and the severity of hyperglycemia.

Diabetic Nutrition or Diabetic diet refers to the diet that is recommended for people with diabetes mellitus, or high blood glucose. There is abundant disagreement relating to what this diet ought to accommodate. Since carbohydrate is the macronutrient which raises blood glucose levels most importantly, the greatest debate is regarding how low in carbohydrates the diet ought to be. This is because although lowering carbohydrate intake will lead to reduced blood glucose levels, but as we know it is the best source of calories too and hence one can improve the health in a big way just by making small changes to the diet, while still enjoying their favorite foods. A diabetes diet is simply a healthy eating plan that is high in nutrients, low in fat, and moderate in calories (carbohydrates too). Manufacturers are now keen towards Diabetes Nutrition on introducing new low calorie food products with sugar substitutes and less oil, in view of the increasing consumer interest toward healthy consumption and facilitate diabetes prevention and its concomitant risk factors.

The metabolism of individuals with diabetes differs to the metabolism of individuals without it. In type 2 diabetes, the effectiveness of insulin is reduced and in type 1 diabetes, insulin levels in the body are terribly low. For this reason only, type 1 diabetes requires insulin delivery from other strategies. Insulin resistance, commonest in pre-diabetes. Metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, impairs the body's ability to metabolize glucose. The metabolism of people with diabetes is sort of similar to the metabolism of people without diabetes. The sole distinction is the volume and/or effectiveness of the insulin produced by the body. There is a selected organic process by which insulin is produced inside the body of person. Insulin therapy is usually recommended for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and an initial A1C level greater than 9 percent. Insulin therapy is also initiated as augmentation, beginning at 0.3 units per kg, or as replacement, beginning at 0.6 to 1.0 units per kg. Glucose control, adverse effects, cost, adherence, and quality of life ought to be thought of once selecting Medicare. Metformin should be continued if possible because it is proven to reduce all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events in overweight patients with diabetes. Titration of insulin over time is critical to improving glycemic management and preventing diabetes related complications.

The concept of and new discovery and emerging therapies like reverse diabetes for the treatment of diabetes has expanded in recent years. There is a lot of latest research on diabetes happening and elaborated at IDF diabetes 2016 and the latest includes some very rare forms of diabetes which are caused by single gene mutations. They are called "monogenic" forms of diabetes and new research is opening the door to specific treatments for these patients. With the advanced type1 diabetes treatment various devices e.g. insulin pumps which is used for the administration of insulin , rapid HbA1c monitoring, insulin pen, biomarkers, biostator, artificial pancreas and etc. are formed for the treatment. Number of innovation and treatment are increasing with the increase in research work by Research and development department in various sectors and endocrinology is getting treatment with these devices. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is a relatively new technology which has the potential to assist people living with type 1 or type 2 Diabetes and treated with insulin to achieve the goal of optimum control of blood glucose. This will remove the diabetes cholesterol.

Diabetes Drug Market has grown very rapidly over the time. The Diabetic drug sales of oral glucose- lowering treatments has increased from 10 billion USD TO 15 billion USD from 2005 to 2010 respectively, whereas the market of insulin plus analogues has made a rise to 4 billion USD from the course of 2005 to 2010 while the other drugs made increase of 1 billion USD in the same duration of time. Various companies are manufacturing different drugs for diabetic patients and the health complication caused due to it .Some of the advanced products like insulin pumps, sensors, biomarkers and Innovation seem to be the key to success because it is quite mature and without novel functionality. Tele-medicines and software's related to increased investments in research and development segment are expected to introduce competitive pharamaceutical products are discussed at different meetings like scientific sessions at cost effective prices in short time. This latest research on diabetes show as that the diabetes drug market segment would be filled with innovative products that would be able to offer better diabetes management which will protect from swollen pancreas to patients. Besides all these ayurvedic and herbal medicines were also found effective for the management of Diabetes. Therefore, the various gathering are done in order to protect from metabolic diseases and these gatherings includes the world Diabetes meetings.

Clinical trials are done basically to prevent disease, to develop new and better treatments, or to find a potential cure. A clinical trial is a way to carefully test a new drug or device in patients before it is approved by the FDA to be used in the general public. Clinical trials are an important step in our being able to have new treatments for diabetes and other conditions. American Diabetes Association also provides support in the clinical trials of Diabetes. They different trials for different type of Diabetes is being run here names as TrialNet is basically to delay and reverse the process of Type 1 Diabetes, GRADE is a comparative effectiveness study looking at what medications work best at lowering blood glucose levels in patients who are newly diagnosed with diabetes, RISE (Restoring Insulin Secretion study), D2D (Vitamin D and type 2 diabetes), Accelerating medicines partnership (AMP) and FNIH biomarker Consortium.

There is wide research going on in the field of cure, prevention and management of Diabetes. Researchers are trying to develop therapies and drugs which should not create any side effects to the patients of Diabetes. New researches are opening the help door for patients having rare form of Diabetes too for e.g. Diabetes caused by single gene mutations which is called as "monogenic" form of diabetes. They have also created insulin patches that imitated the body's beta cells by both sensing blood glucose level and releasing insulin. Many more researches are going on in the field of Diabetes i.e. Diabetes –depression connection, very low effort muscular activity and Diabetes risk and aerobic exercise improve brain function for people with prediabetes.

A study was done to see the combined effect of the components of energy balance (energy intake and physical activity) and the development of Type 2 Diabetes and the aim of the study is to examine the components of energy balance and the incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in a cohort of middle-aged women. This study was done on a population of 64,227 middle aged Chinese women who don't have any prior history of Diabetes or any chronic Disease. They collected all the data on diet and physical activity habits and they found that Body Mass index (BMI) and weight gain (since age 20) was strongly associated with type 2 Diabetes incidences. They also concluded that Energy Intake (EI) was associated with modestly increased risk, while physical activity (PA) was associated with decreased risk of type 2 Diabetes, less active women with higher EI and higher risk of type 2 diabetes than active women with lower EI. The EI to PA ratio (EI:PA) was positively associated with Type 2 Diabetes risk. This study suggests that energy balance plays an important role in type 2 Diabetes and this effect may be modified by BMI.

Book 7 of the Lone Wolves of Shay Falls releases next week! And in case you haven't started this howling good MMF series, D. Renee Bagby is hosting a free look at Chapter 1 of Book 1, DISOWNED COWBOYS.
Check out the DRB1stChp blog to read Chapter 1 now!
DISOWNED COWBOYS By J. Rose Allister
Book 1 of Lone Wolves of Shay Falls
Erotic | BDSM | M/M,M/F,M/M/F|
About the LONE WOLVES series:
They were cowboys torn from their livelihood after a fateful bite changed their destinies forever. When their pack is disbanded by a new alpha, the lone wolves are forced to roam the woods of Shay Falls with no way to return to the ranch life they once knew. Each must find a male pack mate of their own—and a female mate to hold that bond together.
Werewolves love fierce and forever—and their very control over the full moon can be influenced by indulging hot, raw passion. But between their secrets, hardships and a huntress with a mind for revenge, finding their way to romance and redemption may prove a rougher ride than wild nights spent taming full moon urges.
About DISOWNED COWBOYS:
When Aimee gets lost during a hike, she finds more than refuge in a dark cave—she finds a chained and naked cowboy who claims to know who she is. Dillon and his partner, Kyle, are werewolves determined to become her mates. Just one problem—she shows up for her appointment with fate while wearing another man's engagement ring.
The wolves will shamelessly pursue her, using every seductive trick in a cowboy's book to rope their mate. But even the combined desire of two insatiably virile werewolves may not be enough when Aimee's boss-slash-fiancé and Kyle's pack mates show up to challenge Dillon and Kyle's right to claim the woman they have dreamed of—and to each other.

Every so often now you hear about how great company or brands customer service is, or how awful. Everything is so public now because of social media, and so much of that customer service is being done via Facebook, twitter, and Google+. As the months and years go on it will only become more and more prevalent to respond to your customer through Social Media – it seems to be what the public wants anyways.
I follow various airlines on twitter, and I always notice the amount of conversation there is – whether its complaints about delays, or compliments about their in-flight crew, its incredibly constant. Of course they cant respond to every single person, but the airlines to try and respond to as many as they can. If there are delay issues or canceling issues, I've seen numerous times the airlines via Twitter trying to help and fix the situation. We all know there is nothing worse than hearing your flight is cancelled when you NEED to be somewhere that day.
Twitter is big for customer service because its so easy to reach out to someone, and say what you want to say. There is no guarantee they'll respond, but at least you've said your piece and that is that. We hope that they respond to us, and give is something in return of course, but even if they dont, others may see our comments.
Facebook is of course also huge for customer service. I find that it can be more of a slippery slope than twitter is. When you have an unhappy customer, all they have to do is post on your Facebook wall, and everyone else who comes to that page will be able to see it. Which also makes it extremely important that the company responds as quickly as they can, so they can show that they do take their customer service seriously. Facebook, and Twitter are basically forcing companies to take responsibility for their actions and if they dont, everyone will know about it.
One story that promoted me to write this blog post in the first place, was about a Taco Bell fan on Facebook, who posted a funny request on their wall. This person got a response, and Im sure it was not what he was expecting. You can see the exchange below.
Sure enough, Ryan got a speedo that said think outside the buns on the back of it! thought it was so awesome that Taco Bell first even recognized it, and then actually went through with it and sent him the speedo! I think this story shows the right way company should handle customer service. Granted, it did take them about 2 weeks to respond, but it was over the holidays so we can let that slide.
Customer service can really make or break a company. With the way social media is playing a role now, its out there for everyone to see. If I'm trying a new restaurant, doctor, business in general, I always check their Facebook accounts first, to see if they have one, and to also see what people have said about them on their pages.

Landscape Paintings 1
This semester I'm taking another landscape painting class, but this time my instructor is Kathy Altieri. She's an amazing teacher. One of the best I've ever had. Not only is she knowledgeable, she's really encouraging. She'll always find something good in even your worst painting. Here are some of my favorite painting I've done in class so far. They're all in gouache with no digital touch-ups.

Here's a little story 'bout Jack and Diane.
Jack, a male donkey, and Diane, a female emu, are an unlikely animal pair who have fallen in love. And although the two lovebirds (lovedonkeys?) are undeniably adorable, their tight bond is creating an obstacle for a North Carolina animal rescue.
According to Jennifer Gordon, executive director of Carolina Waterfowl Rescue, the odd couple was discovered in "a very small pen together" on an abandoned farm in Kershaw, South Carolina, last week. Gordon told HuffPost that their extremely close relationship wasn't apparent to rescuers at first, and the team decided to load Jack onto a truck before Diane.
"The emu went kind of crazy," Gordon said. "She was sticking her head through the fences and we were worried she was gonna hurt herself."
Gordon said she was a little worried about putting the two animals in a trailer together, but decided to try it and see what happened.
"As we got on the road, we looked back there and they were both laying down together and snuggled up."
Once the duo arrived at the Indian Trail-based rescue, Gordon said they decided to pair Diane up with another emu.
But it was a big mistake.
The Charlotte Observer reports that Diane "got frantic," according to Gordon. Jack "started crying" and "paced around like an expectant father."
"The donkey did not want other donkeys around the emu and the emu didn't like [her new mate]," Gordon explained to HuffPost. "So we just decided to keep them together and they were very happy."
The Carolina Waterfowl Rescue is currently trying to find a permanent home for Jack and Diane together, but the task is proving to be difficult. They don't want to split them up, but neither Jack or Diane get along with other donkeys or emus. Gordon also noted on Facebook that they "can't be put in with other animals."
Gordon said she'd prefer placing the two in a nonprofit sanctuary, but will consider private adopters if that doesn't work out.
"It wasn't easy trailering them and we don't think it's in their best interest to get moved multiple times all over the country," Gordon wrote on Facebook.

iPhone Nano, Touch Debut in Bernstein Analyst Rumornote
Would an iPhone that doesn't require a data plan spike Apple's addressable market in the mobile devices space? In a research note to clients today, Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi makes the case that it would.
Arguing that the market for standalone portable media players is certain to decline as consumers upgrade to multimedia smartphones, Sacconaghi says it would behoove Apple (AAPL) to migrate its vast iPod user base to the iPhone. But to do this successfully Apple needs a mainstream device–one free of the required $70+ a month voice-and-data service plan, which for some, is prohibitively expensive.
"Apple's iPhone has so far addressed the data-centric smartphone market only–in fact, in most countries where it is sold, a data service plan is a pre-requisite for buyers," Sacconaghi writes. "The other 83% of mobile handsets are largely sold without data service, except possibly text messaging. To more effectively address this part of the market, we believe Apple should offer an iPhone that does not require the user to sign up for a data plan."
Sacconaghi estimates that adding such a device to the iPhone lineup could potentially add $7 billion in revenues and $4 billion in gross profits annually (assuming a three percent market share).
So what would a lower-tier iPhone look like? Sacconaghi envisions two versions–the iPhone Nano and the iPhone Touch. The former would be a physically smaller device without the larger multitouch screen of its predecessor. It would not support Web browsing or run third-party applications. Think of it as an iPod Nano with an onboard cellular radio for phone calls.
The latter, the iPhone Touch, would essentially be an iPod touch capable of making phone calls. It would not require a wireless data service plan and would access the Internet via WiFi, just as the iPod touch does. While that might sound a bit too much like the current iPhone to be plausible, Sacconaghi notes that the 3G iPhone Apple will presumably introduce later this year could provide enough feature differentiation (read: multitasking, video conferencing, etc.) for the market to support it.
"For the more than 100 million iPod users worldwide, we believe Apple has a significant incumbent advantage in migrating these users to the company's mobile device platform," Sacconaghi concludes. "Everyone of these users uses Apple's iTunes software to manage music, and at least half also use the iTunes Store as a source of content. We believe iTunes usage leads to a 'lock-in' effect that discourages iPod users from switching to another platform. In part, the lock-in effect is only perceived–many users appear to be unaware that the majority of their iTunes music collection is likely compatible with other devices. However, there is also a real basis for the lock-in, since switching to another platform necessarily requires the user to learn how to operate new hardware and software. Ultimately, we believe that if Apple does not proactively migrate iPod users to the iPhone, many of them could find themselves forced to adopt another converged device platform despite the iTunes 'lock-in' effect."
