More than one bookstore has closed; more that one bookstore owner has expressed sorrow over the shifting tides of how folks buy books. I still like to browse through bookstores, but I admit openly and candidly that I buy books through the internet and not very often from a bookstore.
The same will happen with clothing, but this new 3D technology may change the face of shopping beyond recognition and it may not only lead to internet shopping but also tailored in-store purchasing:
The Intel scientist has designed a high-tech mirror that shows how clothes look on a consumer who simply stands in front of an LCD monitor. Parametric technology simulates body type and how fabrics fit — based on weight, height and measurements.
Think of it as a digital fitting room. The concept is three to five years from fruition but could open the door for Intel in the retail market.
The convergence of smartphone technology, social-media data and futuristic technology such as 3-D printers is changing the face of retail in a way that experts across the industry say will upend the bricks-and-mortar model in a matter of a few years.
"The next five years will bring more change to retail than the last 100 years," says Cyriac Roeding, CEO of Shopkick, a location-based shopping app available at Macy's, Target and other top retailers.
Within 10 years, retail as we know it will be unrecognizable, says Kevin Sterneckert, a Gartner analyst who follows retail technology. Big-box stores such as Office Depot, Old Navy and Best Buy will shrink to become test centers for online purchases. Retail stores will be there for a "touch and feel" experience only, with no actual sales. Stores won't stock any merchandise; it'll be shipped to you. This will help them stay competitive with online-only retailers, Sterneckert says.
Branding strategist Adam Hanft says this all might sound futuristic, but much of it is rooted in reality. He says satellite stores will open in apartment buildings and office centers. FedEx and UPS will delve deeper into refrigerated home delivery. Google trucks will deliver local services. Clothing — even pharmaceuticals — will be produced in the home via affordable 3-D printers.
But this sentence is the heart of the strategy:
"Every waking moment is a shopping moment," says Steve Yankovich, head of eBay's mobile business, which expects to handle $10 billion in transactions this year. "Anytime, anywhere."
And stores are getting in on the action:
Just as online retailers led a revolution in retail shopping in the 1990s, bricks-and-mortar retailers are ready to use technology to fight back.
By the time you walk into a store in the near future, the employees there will probably know what you want to buy, based on information on your trusty phone or tablet. Merchants will know your gender, age, race and income, analyst Sterneckert and others say.
Once you're inside, imagine waving your smartphone over products and seeing what's inside. Holding the phone over a DVD's bar code might activate a movie trailer on the phone's screen, for example.

Well said: Virginia journalist killer getting just what he wanted. Editorial originally from the Arizona Republic, reproduced here in the Detroit Free Press.
In the meantime, of course, The Usual Suspects are waving the bloody shirt and demanding that us non-murderous non-nut jobs should be deprived of our rights.
Because it's the guns.
And, since the murderous nut job in this case was a member of the media, who murdered two fellow members of the media, the media will ignore the possibility that maybe the problem isn't guns, it's murderous nut jobs.
In addition to being a member of the media, the murderous nut job was a member of two other protected categories, as a gay African American male. Who was reportedly censured on the job for reporting on Election Day while wearing an Obama pin or sticker. And had to be escorted from the work place when he was terminated, after having filed grievances against just about everybody there.
But it's the guns.
Nut jobs are gonna nut, they're gonna find a grievance -- goes with the territory -- and once they go all murderous, they'll find the means.
Doesn't have to be a gun.

User management is central to 1upHealth's APIs. These endpoints allow you to create users, and manage their permissions and data. If you would like OAuth client keys to the 1upHealth API, create an account and visit our developer console.
An application can create users via the following call. Each response will contain the new user's
refresh_token, and
app_user_id. The
app_user_id helps you keep track of users between the 1up API and your own user management system.
curl -X POST "https://api.1up.health/user-management/v1/user" \
-d "app_user_id=myappsuserid" \
-d "client_id=clientidclientidclientid" \
-d "client_secret=clientsecretclientsecret"
You will receive a response like this
success: true,
code: 'accesscodeaccesscodeaccesscode',
oneup_user_id: 251,
app_user_id: '1499270216467',
active: true
code variable is the OAuth2 access code. You must exchange that to get the OAuth2 access token by following the the OAuth2 token grant steps. The
access_token and
refresh_token will be used to gain access to user data. Keep those secure via HIPAA compliant means of transmission and storage, along with all other patient data. The auth token expires after 7200 seconds (2 hours). You can also refresh the token by continuing with the OAuth2 token refresh flow.
If you need a new auth code for a user you already created on 1upHealth, you can make a request via the following method
curl -X POST "https://api.1up.health/user-management/v1/user/auth-code" \
-d "app_user_id=myappsuserid" \
-d "client_id=clientidclientidclientid" \
-d "client_secret=clientsecretclientsecret"
To see all users, paginate through the users' API endpoint.
curl -X GET "https://api.1up.health/user-management/v1/user" \
-d "client_id=clientidclientidclientid" \
-d "client_secret=clientsecretclientsecret" \
You can also query for individual users by adding the parameters `
If you need to change the
app_user_id, you can do that via the following command. The
oneup_user_id will be assigned, you cannot alter or request it.
curl -X PUT "https://api.1up.health/user-management/v1/user" \
-d "oneup_user_id=123" \
-d "app_user_id=newappuserid" \
-d "client_id=clientidclientidclientid" \
-d "client_secret=clientsecretclientsecret"
User deactivation will revoke the user's
refresh_token and
auth_token and will mark their
active field to
false. After a user is deactivated, that auth token can no longer be used to gain access to data.
curl -X PUT "https://api.1up.health/user-management/v1/user" \
-d "oneup_user_id=123" \
-d "active=false" \
-d "client_id=clientidclientidclientid" \
-d "client_secret=clientsecretclientsecret"
You can create any FHIR resource and associate it with the user. For example, you can create a Patient resource, and give the user a name, gender, age, etc. All you need to do is add the user's
auth_token to a request when creating or updating a FHIR resource.
Creating a FHIR resource now works like any other FHIR server with OAuth2 credentials. You would use the
access_token in the Authorization header value. The newly created resource will be available after a short delay (< 1 second).
curl -X POST https://api.1up.health/fhir/dstu2/Patient \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer accesstokenaccesstokenaccesstoken" \
-d '{
"resourceType": "Patient",
"id": "135375",
"meta": {
"versionId": "1",
"lastUpdated": "2017-05-26T12:00:41.233-04:00"
"name": [
"use": "official",
"text": "Bilbo Baggins",
"family": [
"given": [
"gender": "male",
"birthDate": "1993-06-20"
That will return a response with the resource id along with the rest of the 1upHealth object. Use the
id value, in this case it is
0a0cee5487a8, for subsequent queries.
{"gender":"male","meta":{"lastUpdated":"2017-07-18T18:41:54.774Z","versionId":"2"},"name":[{"given":["Bilbo",""],"use":"official","text":"Bilbo Baggins","family":"Baggins"}],"birthDate":"1993-06-20T04:00:00.000Z","resourceType":"Patient","id":"0a0cee5487a8"}
Query the recently added FHIR resource. Again, use the
access_token in the Authorization header value.
curl -X GET https://api.1up.health/fhir/dstu2/Patient/oneupresourcid \
-H "Authorization: Bearer accesstokenaccesstokenaccesstoken" \
If you already have a FHIR resource created, and would like to allow this user's credentials to view that resource, you can modify permissions of that FHIR resource. Beware, that your application must manage rights to data. 1upHealth is not aware if userA is legally allowed to view userB's data, only your app can make that decision. The auth token is for the user who created that resource. Essentially, that user is granting permissions to other users.
curl -X PUT "https://api.1up.health/fhir/dstu2/Patient/patientid/_permission/oneup_user_id_to_gain_access" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer access_token_for_user_who_owns_this_resource"
Similarly, you can delete a user's access to that resource.
curl -X DELETE "https://api.1up.health/fhir/dstu2/Patient/patientid/_permission/oneup_user_id_to_lose_access" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer access_token_for_user_who_owns_this_resource"
When FHIR queries are made for a resource using an individual user's
auth_token, only resources available to that user (via set permissions) will be returned.

Snap-Lock Standing-Seam Metal Roof Installation
Factory-made panels and flashing go together without specialty tools or subcontractors.
When you're a remodeler in a rural location, you often have to venture into uncharted territory because there's nobody else to do the job. This was the case on a recent project when I was asked to install a standing-seam metal roof as part of a major remodel. Although the roof was relatively small, it had nearly every complicating element you can think of: valleys, doghouse dormers, slope transitions, and even skylights. Our company specializes in difficult roofing projects and I take pride in our sheet-metal skills for flashing and built-in gutters, but I had never attempted a standing-seam roof. My crew and I had to figure it out on our own. To ensure our roof was done right, two of my employees and I attended a two-day training at the manufacturer's headquarters in preparation. This article describes everything we learned while installing this complicated roof.

Denis Leary is back in the FX business. The network has ordered to series a new comedy from the Rescue Me co-creator/star, titled Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll. Leary created and also stars in this new series, which revolves around middle-aged rocker Johnny Rock, whose dash with stardom was cut short due to his alcohol and drug abuse, as well as the fact that he slept with his best friend/lead guitarist's wife. His band, The Heathens, only managed to put out one very well-received album before breaking up, and now 25 years later Johnny is trying to get the band back together. FX has ordered 10 episodes of the half-hour comedy, set to debut sometime in 2015.
In addition to Leary, the cast also includes John Corbett, Elizabeth Gillies, Elaine Hendrix, and Bobby Kelly. Check out the first images after the jump, along with the full press release.
Here's the full press release:
LOS ANGELES, June 26, 2014 – FX is officially back in business with Denis Leary, placing a 10-episode order for the comedy series Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, it was announced today by Eric Schrier and Nick Grad, the Presidents of Original Programming for FX Networks and FX Productions. Created by and starring Leary, Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll is produced by FX Productions and Fox Television Studios, and will premiere on FX in 2015.
"It's great to be back in business with Denis Leary, Jim Serpico and Tom Sellitti, and we're thrilled to start on a new project that is both unique and hilarious," said Schrier. "Johnny Rock is the role that Denis Leary was born to play."
"I am extremely elated at the opportunity to once again be working with John Landgraf and the fine executive talent over at FX," said Leary. "They have a great platform for comedy, an award-winning marketing team and an amazing new Nespresso machine in the conference room. The Gran Maestria C520 Platinum? Get this: it heats the cup! Also, doing this show with FX will allow me to live one of my last show-business dreams: Emmy-winner Peter Tolan will be playing my gay stepdad. I know what you're thinking – isn't Peter just a few years older than Denis? In fact, we are the same exact age. I'm just prettier."
Said Fox Television Studios President David Madden, "We have been honored by long-standing collaborations with both FX and Apostle, so it's gratifying for us to be able to break new ground with them both. Our partnership with Denis and Apostle has been one of our most fruitful ventures, and this time out fans will definitely see a different Denis. As both actor and writer, Denis plunges into dazzlingly original arenas of dark comedy and, along with a stellar veteran cast, the results are just really funny."
Starring Leary, John Corbett, Elizabeth Gillies, Elaine Hendrix and Bobby Kelly, SDRR is centered on "Johnny Rock" (Leary), a middle-aged rock 'n roller who desperately wanted to be rich and famous. So far, he's 0 for 2. As the magnificently talented lead singer of New York's legendary early 90's band The Heathens, Johnny was on his way to the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. His best friend "Flash" (Corbett) was being called the next number one lead guitar player on planet earth. The critics loved them. Their live shows were selling out.
But Johnny had a problem with booze. And coke. And weed. And pills. And cough medicine. And oh yeah – he slept with Flash's wife. And his bass player's fiancé. The band broke up the same day their first and only record was released. 25 years later Johnny is trying to get the band back together. Why? Because as his soon-to-be-ex manager Ira Feinbaum tells him: "Johnny, you're 50, broke and completely anonymous. In rock 'n roll you know what that makes you? A bartender." 25 years later the sex might be harder to find, the drugs might be Luvox and Crestor and Cialis – but rock 'n roll will never die. It just has a bigger prostate.
The Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll pilot was written by Leary and directed by Michael Blieden. Leary, his company Apostle and partner Jim Serpico are Executive Producers. It is produced by FX Productions and Fox Television Studios. It will be filmed on location in New York City. The show will feature original music and occasional guest appearances by actual rock stars.
Leary starred in the award-winning, acclaimed FX drama Rescue Me, which he co-created and served as Executive Producer/Writer of the series that ran for seven seasons and 93 episodes. Serpico served as Executive Producer of Rescue Me. Leary, Serpico and Apostle are currently in production on the upcoming USA series, Sirens, and they produce the IFC comedy Maron, starring Marc Maron. Both Sirens and Maron also are produced by Fox Television Studios.
FX Networks features 10 comedy series across FX and FXX. In addition to Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, FX televises the Emmy®, AFI, TCA and Peabody award-winning Louie, the award-winning animated comedy Archer, new scripted comedies Married and You're the Worst debuting on July 17, and The Comedians starring Billy Crystal and Josh Gad launching next spring. The FXX comedy roster includes the acclaimed hit series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The League, Wilfred, The Untitled Tracy Morgan Project, and Ali G: Rezurection.

September 27, 2006
Not since NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft saw our home as a pale blue dot from beyond the orbit of Neptune has Earth been imaged in color from the outer solar system. Now, Cassini casts powerful eyes on our home planet, and captures Earth, a pale blue orb -- and a faint suggestion of our moon -- among the glories of the Saturn system.
Earth is captured here in a natural color portrait made possible by the passing of Saturn directly in front of the sun from Cassini's point of view. At the distance of Saturn's orbit, Earth is too narrowly separated from the sun for the spacecraft to safely point its cameras and other instruments toward its birthplace without protection from the sun's glare.
The Earth-and-moon system is visible as a bright blue point on the right side of the image above center. Here, Cassini is looking down on the Atlantic Ocean and the western coast of north Africa. The phase angle of Earth, seen from Cassini is about 30 degrees.
Earth no longer holds the distinction of being our solar system's only "water world," as several other bodies suggest the possibility that they too harbor liquid water beneath their surfaces. The Saturnian moon, Enceladus, is among them, and is also captured on the left in this image, with its plume of water ice particles and swathed in the blue E ring which it creates. Delicate fingers of material extend from the active moon into the E ring. See
, for a more detailed view of these newly-revealed features.
The narrow tenuous G ring and the main rings are seen at the right. The view looks down from about 15 degrees above the un-illuminated side of the rings.
Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this view. The image was taken by the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Sept. 15, 2006, at a distance of approximately 2.1 million kilometers (1.3 million miles) from Saturn and at a sun-Saturn-spacecraft angle of almost 179 degrees. Image scale is approximately 250 kilometers (155 miles) per pixel. At this time, Cassini was nearly 1.5 billion kilometers (930 million miles) from Earth.

Posted on Fri, Jun. 17, 2011What happened to Adam Herrman the unresolved question
The Wichita Eagle
EL DORADO — When Doug and Valerie Herrman pleaded guilty Friday to felony theft — for continuing to accept a state subsidy to help them care for their adoptive son after he vanished — it resolved part of the case surrounding the missing boy.
Anyone with information about Adam Herrman's disappearance can provide tips to Butler County sheriff's investigators by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 316-322-8817 or 866-484-5924.
Anyone with information about Adam Herrman's disappearance can provide tips to Butler County sheriff's investigators by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 316-322-8817 or 866-484-5924.
Unresolved is the question of what happened to Adam Herrman, the 11-year-old who disappeared without a trace from the Herrmans' Towanda mobile home in May 1999.
Butler County Sheriff Kelly Herzet said Friday, after the Herrmans pleaded guilty to the theft charge, that he has concluded one thing about the disappearance: "Did he (Adam) walk away? No, he didn't walk away. Something happened to that boy in that trailer in Towanda, Kansas, and Doug and Valerie Herrman know."
Herzet, who was the lead investigator on the disappearance case before becoming sheriff earlier this year, said, "I'm still focused on working this case as a homicide. The Herrmans still are, in my eyes, suspects, and we're going to continue to work the case as the leads come in, and I hope we can resolve the case in the very near future and arrests are made."
The way he views it, Herzet said, is "any homicide case is life-touching," and more so when it involves a child.
"In your heart, you know something's happened to this boy," he said.
It has now been more than two years since Butler County sheriff's detectives learned of Adam's disappearance and began investigating it. They've searched for his remains along riverbanks, dug up the Herrmans' former mobile home lot, interviewed person after person, chased leads, amassed boxes of documents, and still found no trace of Adam.
The Herrmans have not been charged with harming Adam, and Valerie Herrman has denied allegations from some of her close relatives that she abused the boy.
Mike Brown, Doug Herrman's attorney in the theft case, said when told of the sheriff's comments, "I'm not in position to comment." Chris Pate, Valerie Herrman's attorney in the theft case, declined to comment.
In Butler County District Court on Friday, Doug Herrman, 56, and Valerie Herrman, 54, each pleaded guilty to a felony charge that they collected an adoption subsidy for their son's care after he vanished.
The couple had been scheduled to face a three-day trial on the theft charge next week.
The charge alleged a scheme by which they continued to collect a monthly adoption subsidy for Adam, who the county attorney has said is the subject of an open missing person's investigation.
Authorities didn't learn that he was missing until late 2008, when his older, adoptive sister came forward to share concerns about him.
Under a plea agreement, the Herrmans pleaded guilty to the same amended charge they had been facing.
The agreement recommends 12 months of probation, but it will be up to the judge to determine the sentence.
Judge David Ricke said that depending on the extent of any criminal history the Herrmans might have, they could face from five to 17 months in prison and a fine of up to $100,000 when they are sentenced on Aug. 1.
The agreement also calls for the Herrmans to pay $15,488 in restitution, the amount they pleaded guilty to wrongly accepting.
Also under the agreement, they would each pay a $2,500 fine.
The charge alleged that the Herrmans accepted the subsidy from November 2003 until July 8, 2005, a month after Adam would have turned 18.
When Ricke asked Doug Herrman what he did to be guilty of the charge, Herrman responded: "I kept money that I was not entitled to."
Herrman said he and his wife adopted Adam in 1993 and that he lived with them until May 1999, when he disappeared. He had been in home school.
The Herrmans have previously said that Adam ran away from their Towanda home after Valerie Herrman spanked him and that they didn't report him missing because they feared it would cause them to lose custody of him and their other children.
Doug Herrman told the judge that the adoption subsidy from the state was to help him and his wife care for Adam. He described the boy as a "special needs" child who had "mental problems."
Doug Herrman admitted that the couple was receiving the subsidy although Adam was no longer living with them or in their care. Herrman also admitted that the couple didn't report to the state that Adam was missing.
When Ricke asked Doug Herrman where Adam could have been in the years after he disappeared, Herrman said he didn't know.
The couple initially received a $304 monthly subsidy for Adam, which grew to $704 monthly by the period from 2003 to 2005 for which the couple were charged, Doug Herrman said.
Under the original theft charges, the couple had been accused of wrongly collecting $52,800 between May 1, 1999, and July 8, 2005. But the charges were amended to accuse them of taking $15,488 from November 2003 until July 8, 2005, when the couple was living in Rose Hill. The evidence for the smaller amount and the shorter time frame was stronger than the evidence for the higher amount and the longer time frame, said the prosecutor, Butler County Attorney Darrin Devinney.
The Herrmans told Ricke they are living in Grove, Okla., and working for a Tyson chicken plant. Doug Herrman said he works in production; Valerie Herrman said she works as a wing packer.
After the hearing, the Herrmans and their attorneys offered no comment. The couple held hands as they walked to their car, followed by news crews.
Outside the courthouse, Devinney told reporters that he couldn't comment much on Adam's disappearance but said he considers the Herrmans to be suspects in their son's disappearance. Devinney was appointed county attorney and sworn in earlier this year after his predecessor, Jan Satterfield, was elected to a judgeship. Satterfield also has said she considered the couple suspects in the missing person's case.
Devinney said he considers the disappearance case to be a priority as much as Satterfield did, "if not more."

Software Reviews
Living DNA
- Covers 80 worldwide regions.
- In-depth geographic reporting.
- Family Networks feature makes it simple to build family trees.
- Constructing DNA profile can take between 10-12 weeks.
Bottom LineLiving DNA is an affordable solution for tracing one's ancestry back thousands of years and building a robust family tree.
Living DNA launched in 2016, so it is relatively new to the genetic-testing scene, but its parent company, DNA Worldwide Group, dates back to 2004. The UK-based company is made up of more than 100 scientists, academic researchers, and genetic experts around the world, and collaborates with universities, testing services, and genomics experts to refine its DNA results and migration routes. Living DNA is a good value and offers solid ancestry discovery and family tree-building features, even if it does take a while to complete your DNA profile.
DNA Discovery
Living DNA's test traces your family ancestry and takes you backward in time to show how your ancestors got from Africa to Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world. Like the excellent Ancestry DNA, Living DNA also has family tree tools. DNA matching with Family Networks, which Living DNA plans to roll out soon, will help you build your family tree using machine learning rather than relying on time-consuming manual work.
DNA tests are skewed towards U.S. users because as a nation of immigrants, there's a need to discover or confirm our origins. This isn't as present in Europe, where many families can trace their roots back hundreds of years. Living DNA still encourages Europeans to take the tests, as well, even if they know their origins. That way they can connect with distant relatives on other continents. Since DNA tests compare your DNA with populations in different countries, the more in-country data available, the more accurate your results.
Setup and Interface
The first step, as with all DNA test kits, is to activate it. In Living DNA's case, this entails using a unique 12-digit code. All DNA kits have unique codes that connect your sample to your account; your name or other identifying information are
Before taking the test, it's best to avoid drinking, eating, or smoking for at least a half hour prior to ensure a clean sample. You extract DNA using the provided cheek swabs and place them in the included vials. Then, you send the vials to their labs via a prepaid envelope. Results take about 10 to 12 weeks to process.
DNA Reports
Living DNA says it continually updates results based on new research; my results haven't changed since I received them in early 2018, but I wouldn't expect them to so quickly. My AncestryDNA results, first logged in 2015, have been updated only recently. Living DNA does not conduct health testing like 23andMe; it only looks at ancestry. You can choose whether to let Living DNA use your results in future research projects. The first project is to map the world's genetic history.
Living DNA looks at 80 worldwide regions to determine where your ancestors' origins. The company says this is more than double the number of regions that other companies offer. Your DNA results are available online, but the company also gives you the option to order a personalized book with illustrations.
There are three main sections of your results: family ancestry, motherline, and fatherline. The fatherline (Y-DNA) data is only available if you have a Y chromosome; having two X's, I could only see my motherline. If I can convince a male relative, such as a sibling, to take the test, I can get that data, too.
The Family Ancestry page shows an overview of your geographical origins; in my case, about 96 percent Europe and about 4 percent Central Asia. Tap on Explore in Full, and you can see an explanation of how it determined your DNA results, followed by a map of your ancestry. Click that to see a visualization of your DNA mix in the last ten generations. The plus button reveals more migratory detail—from Europe to Great Britain and Ireland to regions of England, Scotland, and Ireland, in my case. You can view this information in a human avatar, which uses colored dots to illustrate different regions that make up your ancestry. Alternatively, you can view this information in a color-coded donut-shaped chart.
Finally, you can see your ancestry in a video visualization that goes back 60,000-80,000 years. While viewing, you can pause the video and learn more about each era.
The motherline and fatherline results are similarly laid out with a history section coverage map, migration map, and phylogenetic tree. Since my results only included motherline data, I'll discuss that, but it presents both types of results in much the same way.
The coverage map shows the current common locations of your motherline haplogroup; in my case, Brazil, Portugal, and the United Kingdom were my top three results (good thing I speak Portuguese.) A haplogroup is a group of people who share a common ancestor on their motherline or fatherline. The migration map shows how ancient ancestors in your haplogroup moved around the world. Finally, the phylogenetic tree starts with the genetic group that contains every living person today and traces down through haplogroups to your subtype. It's a cool way to put your results in context with the rest of the human genetic world.
At RootsTech in February 2018, Living DNA previewed Family Networks, which will use machine learning technology to scan its database and build your family tree. When it rolls out (it's in a limited beta as of this writing), you should be able to verify relatives you know and have Living DNA check your guesses. Family Networks is set to go back 13 generations to find potential relatives based on your DNA results, sex, and age. If it's well implemented, this may be a handy feature for those who want to build a family tree but don't want to put in too much time.
In November 2018, LivingDNA posted on its blog about the beta program, which has already yielded results for many users. There's no word yet when it will officially launch. Additionally, LivingDNA is partnered with Find My Past, which gives users trial access to its database and will eventually let you link a family tree. The company is also rolling out the ability to upload DNA results from AncestryDNA, 23andMe, MyHeritageDNA, and Family Tree DNA, for inclusion in the Family Networks database. Finally, LivingDNA has launched a new testing chip for its DNA tests and will roll out new products that take advantage of it.
Use Technology to Discover Your Past
Living DNA offers an interactive look at your ancestors and your DNA composition, and as its database of European users grows can offer even more insight into your background. If you're not interested in health-related DNA testing, it's a great choice. Otherwise, you should give 23andMe, our Editors' Choice in this category, a try.
Humans aren't the only ones who can test their DNA. If you're wondering about your pup's heritage, check out our roundup of the best dog DNA kits, too.

Armor Home Services
"Your Local ADT Authorized Dealer"
Our Founding:
Jonathan Willis founded Armor Security in 1991, after he had a break-in at his home. After buying and installing his own security system, and doing the same for family and friends, he realized that there was a growing need for reliable security, and Armor was born. From that point, Armor was involved in several different dealer programs, and acquired or merged with several other security companies, eventually expanding nationwide into 25 different markets. Armor also garnered many awards during this expansion. These awards include: being a finalist for the First Line of Defense Award by the NBFAA in 1999, being a finalist for the Better Business Bureau's Business Ethics Award in 2005, and being ranked the top security company in Arizona by Arizona Business Magazine from 2000-2007. Armor also patented the Copper Cop during this time.
Our Founding:
In 2010, Armor became an ADT dealer; and started to create its own technology. Armor created the Blue Dot model; and developed the proprietary technology to run it exclusively for the Special Promotions group that Armor was a part of. In 2013, after seeing the success of the model, Armor was purchased by Defender, the largest ADT dealer in the United States. After the acquisition, Armor's business model was scaled by Defender nationally, opening and operating successfully in 9 different markets. In 2015, the founders of the company reacquired Armor through private investment.
Our Vision for the Future:
In 2015-16, Armor focused on rebuilding its foundation and infrastructure in Mesa, AZ, and at the end of 2016, partnered with Gorilla Security in Chicago, IL, in anticipation of expanding again nationwide. In 2017, Armor continued to grow, opening two more offices in the Phoenix area; and building the groundwork for expansion into the Tucson market. Armor was also included in an exclusive outing for ADT dealers with the highest KDI, broke into the Top 30 list of ADT dealers, and gained recognition for having the Top Producer in the region, as well as another in the Top Ten. For 2018 and beyond, Armor is continuing to pursue its mission of building leaders, and scaling our influence nationwide; and is looking for quality people to join us in pursuit of our goal.

Data relocation at one time was a matter of moving tons of paper. Record keeping was limited to ledgers, signed contracts and paper reports. Moving ledgers, contracts and accounts receivable was a matter of only keeping the documents dry and secure during transport.
However, business today relies more upon digital records than physical and moving these records necessary to business requires more attention to detail than in times gone by. Information stored digitally often powers companies large and small. When it is necessary to physically move the media the company can not afford a poorly planned move by data storage and relocation companies to disrupt the daily business or to compromise sensitive data.
Data relocation companies today often specialize in moving entire data centers, also data destruction and data storage. The challenges presented in moving, storage and data destruction of information stored on hard drives and flash drives are sometimes greater than those presented with traditional hard copy paper documents. A hard drive where data is stored might be recoverable unless data destruction is thorough and often professional companies are employed for just that purpose.
Businesses are transitioning to digital media because storage is so much more compact and given proper care the data can be safe indefinitely and compactly. When a company must relocate digital media it may be simply a move across town or may be transported around the world but the move requires planning and special procedures to have the least impact upon information dependent companies.
Sometimes a relocation may occur because the current facilities are not large enough or a more affordable location for the business must be found. Other times digital information and the center might be moved to consolidate information centers after a company merger. In the modern global and mobile world, relocation may occur for many reasons.
Relocation of these vital centers and digital information storage requires project management that encompasses every detail including the new placement of the servers or the equipment. It is not enough to simply order the equipment delivered many times the company moving the equipment will be involved in the planning. When the servers arrive may be just as critical as where they are to be transported.
Experts in IT and server needs as well as network management experts are usually on hand and have input into the planning of such moves. If a company miscalculates and the power needs or bandwidth needs exceed what their new location has been wired or allocated, day to day operations can suffer. Moving into a new center or transporting digital media for storage requires more attention to detail simply moving rooms full of paper did.
The safety of the information contained in digitally stored media and servers should be primary concerns of the company providing the move. Digitally stored information safety, in relocation and storage scenarios require environmental control as well as protection against trauma, since adverse conditions found in normal transport options can harm servers or digital storage media. Security should also be a prime concern since many companies most valuable assets is information which must remain confidential.

Volvo reveals new engine lineup for 2017
HAGERSTOWN, Md. – Next year will be a fuel efficient one for Volvo customers everywhere.
At its Hagerstown, Md. assembly plant, Volvo Trucks North America unveiled to a group of trucking industry journalists its new model 2017 Volvo engines, including improvements to its D11 and D13 engines as well as its new Volvo D13 engine with turbo compounding.
The enhancements to its already most fuel-efficient engines (the 11-litre D11 and 13-litre D13) take fuel economy to a new level, according to Volvo. The new and improved engines will deliver between 2.2% and 6.5% better fuel efficiency in comparison to its previous generation (2014 models).
"Volvo's 2017 lineup of engines is the most fuel-efficient we've ever offered in North America," said Goran Nyberg, president of Volvo Trucks North America.
The new D11 engine provides a 2.2% fuel economy improvement versus the 2014 model thanks to a variety of new enhancements like a new common-rail fuel system, a new wave piston that forces oxygen and fuel to mix together to burn cleaner, a two-piece valve cover and a camshaft that reduces weight by 27 lbs.
The new wave piston, that was named for its unique grooves that cause the oxygen and fuel to mix, turned a lot of heads during its initial testing, said Wade Long, director of product marketing for Volvo.
"This new wave piston helps increase our compression ratio on our D13 engine from 16:1 to 17:1…and the higher the compression, the better the fuel efficiency," he said. "The bumps in there…what that is doing is forcing the oxygen and fuel to mix together and burn more efficiency. And it's burning so efficiently that when we were testing these…the engineers thought that the monitoring equipment was faulty, because it wasn't registering soot…then they found out there's nothing wrong with the (testing) equipment, it was just burning that clean (with the wave piston)."
As for the new common-rail fuel system, Long said that it not only improves fuel efficiency, but driver productivity.
"We're very excited about this…because what we discovered is how quiet these engines are," he said. "I think the drivers are going to appreciate these new engines. We are bringing not only fuel efficiency, but driver productivity to the customers."
Long added that the new D11 offers up to 425 horsepower and 1,550 lb-ft. of torque, an increase of 20 horsepower. Production for the new D11 engine will begin in January 2017 and Volvo said it is ideal for regional, LTL and pickup/delivery applications. The D11 is available in Volvo VN daycabs, VNM 430 and VNL 430 sleeper models and VAH and VHD models.
As for the improved D13 engine, Long said it now provides a 2.5% fuel economy improvement over its predecessor, thanks to the same common-rail fuel system, wave piston and camshaft as the 2017 D11. Volvo said it added 100 ft.-lbs. of torque to the 455 horsepower, increasing it to 1,850 lb.-ft.
Production for this D13 begins October 2016 and will be available in Volvo VN, VHD and VAH models.
What Volvo staff was most excited to unveil to media was the new D13 with turbo compounding, which they said provides a 6.5% fuel efficiency improvement over 2014 D13 engine.
Turbo compounding is a technology that recovers waste exhaust heat, coverts it to useable energy and transfers it back into the engine in the form of 50 additional horsepower. Turbo compounding will give a 3% fuel efficiency increase over the 2017 D13 and Long said that it will also allow fleets to cruise in one extra gear.
"What I like to say about turbo compounding is that it brings back drivability to the truck," Long said.
The D13 with turbo compounding can be spec'd with Volvo's XE powertrain package. It is available on an XE driveline with a 2.47 rear axle ratio. As well, the engine enhancements that were included in the 2017 D13 engine, were also included on the D13 with turbo compounding.
"Turbo compounding is better for highway applications and cruising speeds," said Long. "So we will be targeting that for our customers. The D13 2017 is best for mixture of pickup/delivery and line-haul applications."
Production for the D13 with turbo compounding is set to start in mid-2017.
There are no major updates to the D16 engine when compared to the 2014 model, however production for the D16 begins in January 2017.
In addition, Volvo revealed its new one-box exhaust aftertreatment system (EATS) that combines the diesel particulate filer (DPF) with the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and diesel exhaust fluid doser into one single unit.
The new design improves efficiency and is 17 lbs lighter than the two-box unit. It also provides customers with additional frame rail space.
The one-box EATS will be standard on the D11- and D13-equipped powertrains. The two-box solution will remain on the D16.

I drive a 2013 Volvo .This truck has been in the Ryder shop 15 times in the past 2 years due to DEF problems. Can you do anything to help?
Volvo vechicles are the BEST in the world. As an ENGINEER i speaks off the BEST.
I have had volvos since 1996 and in my opinion are the best drivers truck out there. I had a 2015 730 tri drive with a D16, 600 hp, 2050 torque engine and it out pulled anything. Is Volvo continuing or discontinuing the D16 in NA? I hope not0

Last week was the regular meeting of the Greater Manchester Corporate Issues and Reform Scrutiny Committee. Prestwich Councillor Tim Pickstone represents Bury on the Committee:
This months meeting focussed on three issues:
Kerslake Report Implementation
Following the Manchester Arena attack, an Independent Review of the events and aftermath of the attack was conducted by five independent members and chaired by Lord Kerslake. This led to the publication of a report making 50 recommendations. The Committee is receiving updates on the implementation of this Report.
Some of the recommendations need to be addressed nationally, and contact has been made with Government to progress change here. Other issues are the responsibility of specific services, and we heard specifically from the Fire Service about changes they were making learning from the attack. The implementation of the recommendations is being led by the Greater Manchester Resilience Forum, which brings together all the agencies that need to be involved in a major incident or disaster like the Arena bombings, to ensure that all agencies are working together.
Greater Manchester Combined Authority Budget Update
The Greater Manchester Combined Authority now brings together a large amount of public spending. This includes everything to do with police, fire, transport as well as the new work and new spending which is being done directly by the Mayor or the Combined Authority at a Greater Manchester level. The functions of the former Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority are being brought into the CA this year.
In total the revenue budget of all these functions combined together is around £900 million this year. The capital budget (spending on one off projects) is around £500 million this year.
I asked about two issues: firstly, the underspend this year on money from Government for cycling projects (£10 million this year and then £50 million a year fort he next three years) and how we make sure this money is spent on cycling and walking. Secondly I asked about the money being spent on the Mayor's promise to end homelessness in Greater Manchester and the costs of the 'bed for all' scheme this winter (and how this can be sustained going forwards).
Greater Manchester Waste Procurement Update
The Committee also received an update on the procurement process for private delivery of waste disposal services. This item was held in private because it is confidential commercial information about the different companies that are bidding to provide this service to Greater Manchester (which also means I cannot report on the detail).
Two years ago Greater Manchester spent a lot of money buying itself out of the previous contract with to deliver waste services and is now re-tendering.I asked questions about the sustainability of what we are tendering for – particularly with the changes in waste going forwards that we are hearing about with plastic waste.
Any questions please ask. The papers for the meeting are here.

Registration for the 2014 season of JCC Summer Camp has begun! It's hard to believe, but summer's right around the corner and now is the time to sign your child up for a summer of daily swim lessons, new friendships, connecting with nature, and of course, your JCC family. In fact, this year our camp theme is Mishpacha, or "We are Family." That's because JCC camps are first and foremost, a family.
"Here at the JCC camps we wish to instill the values of togetherness, tradition, and heritage in all of our campers. It is through the lens of family that we view the past, live the present and have hope for the future. On behalf of the entire camp staff we are all so excited to have the opportunity to spend this summer with your children and to make your children's summer a memorable experience," said Halle Schwartz, JCC Director of Children, Youth, Teens, and Camping.
One way the JCC hopes to help grow its family atmosphere this year is through a new buddy system between the younger and older children—between Ora and Chaverim campers at the College Avenue location and between Chaverim and Hoover campers on Tuesdays when Chaverim campers in second and third grades visit Camp Hoover.
"This is so the children can see what they have to look forward to. Older campers can show the younger ones the skills they've learned and serve as role models. It starts the conversation of, 'Look what I'm doing at another camp,' and shows them things that they can also do one day. For the older kids, it will remind them of where they used to be to," said Schwartz.
Another exciting aspect of the 2014 camp season is the addition of Columbus Children's Theater Camp, an acting/performing camp in which campers will spend two weeks working with professional actors from Columbus Children's Theater exploring all aspects of creating a first-rate performance including acting, singing, dancing, script writing, set and costume design, and directing. These skills will culminate in a world-premiere variety show performed for the JCC, campers, and the whole community to see. This unique opportunity to get hands-on with theater is offered for campers entering 1st-8th Grades.
Parents now will also have the option buy their child's lunches at more camp locations: Ora, Chaverim, and Arye. And on Wednesdays at Camp Hoover, campers can look forward to learning a new skill—cooking over a camp fire! Campers will work with their counselors to learn the art of building their own camp fires and preparing meals.
Also new at Hoover this year will be the game, Battleship. "We've invested in a lot of new equipment for Hoover. We purchased more kayaks for a new game in which we bring the kayaks into the pool and see who can fill the kayak with water first to dump it over, sinking the opposing team's 'battleship,'" explained Camp Hoover Director Mark Moscardino.
After the success of last year's overnight camp visits, the JCC will add Camp Wise to its mix of camp overnight visits, for three camp visits total, to Camp Livingston, Emma Kaufman Camp, and Camp Wise, respectively. "We've developed a great partnership with these camps. We share ideas with them; it's very cooperative. After getting a taste of these camps last year through the JCC, some of our campers are now going to go spend a great four weeks of their summer at overnight camp. And who first gave them that opportunity? The JCC," said Halle Schwartz.
In keeping with this year's theme of Mishpacha, We are Family, each week campers will have a chance to participate in activities that bring home the notion that "our bunkmates are our family," explained Schwartz. During the first week, campers will build their home by collecting leaves, branches, and other items during nature walks, and then build their own home in their bunk using these collected materials. Then, campers will make mezuzot during a Shabbat activity to cap off the week.
During Family History week, Chaverim campers will put on a Talent Show based on the history of the Jewish people. They will act out the stories behind Purim, Hanukkah, Tu B'Shvat and other Jewish holidays. And for "Community is Our Family" week, campers will get to meet some important members of the community-at-large, such as Battalion Chief Burnzweig from the Columbus Fire Department and Zach Rosen of the Columbus Police Department.
"Family is so important. And really, the JCC is everyone's family. I'm most excited for the fact that our JCC Camp Staff are one, big family. We have a great team and everyone's returning this year," explained Schwartz.
Marie Wells is returning to direct Camp Arye after a year off. Mark Moscardino and Nancy Rosen will be back directing Camp Hoover. Kim Moore returns as Specialty Camp Director after a year at Camp Ora, and Shara Reiss returns as Camp Ora Director. Kaley Rosenthal also returns to direct Camp Chaverim. "It's like the whole gang is back together, reuniting like a family, too," Schwartz added.
For anyone who ever attended Camp Hoover, on the final day of camp, the JCC is hosting a Camp Hoover Family Reunion. All current and former Camp Hoover campers are invited to return to the beautiful, wooded setting of Camp Hoover to see all that's changed and stayed the same at their home away from home.
Besides family, one big focus at JCC camp this year will be on nature. After the positive response to last year's Nature Specialist at Camp Hoover, a Nature specialist will join campers at Camp Chaverim. "Nature's a very big part of Judaism," said Schwartz. "Caring for the environment and for nature is a Jewish value that goes into repairing the world and showing respect for others."
Camp staff are looking for material to use this season for nature and art activities. Fabric, tins, bottles, bottle caps, and other materials are being collected now, so please contact the Camp Office at 614-559-6251 today if you have any items to donate.
To register your child for a summer of memory-making that will last a lifetime, visit www.columbusjcc.org/summer-camps/ or contact Lauren Barnes, Camp Registrar, at email@example.com today!

Selling original branded products
If you offer goods you no longer need on an Internet platform, you need to be careful!
By now, most consumers know that the resale of counterfeit goods is forbidden. But even if you are completely sure that the products you want to sell are original, caution is required.
Original goods
If you didn't buy the branded products in a shop in an EU Member State or within the EEA, but in the USA or Asia, you are not allowed to offer it to customers in the EU/EEA, because the owner of the trademark still holds the copyrights for those products within the EU/EEA.
Creating the offer for sale
Who sells or auctions his goods online, usually references it with a significant description and product photos. To take such texts and pictures from the Internet (without charges or a registration) is tempting.
Those "works" are also protected by copyrights. Without the permission of the photographer or the author of the product description (if it exceeds a list of technical product features), you are not allowed to use the photos and texts! If you can't find terms of use on the website, directly contact the rights holder (contact details can be found in the imprint).
Note: Indicating the source is not sufficient! You don't gain the right to use foreign content just by referencing to the source.

Did you know that another name used for the aardvark is that of the anteater? What do you know? And no prizes this time for guessing what this creature's stable diet would be. You wonder though, would it be a good idea or would it be practical to install such a creature in your back garden? Do not ask the writers how but some, very few, people have pulled this off. But they also need special permits to bring over exotic pets. And they have to show the authorities clear proof that they have the ability and facilities to provide these special creatures with their wellbeing in their extremely unusual settings.
One thing they might not have to worry about is food. Because maybe there's more than enough, quite a few thousand actually, to go around. Of course we're talking about ants right about here. Ants in small colonies would not be noticed, they would be considered an important part of nature just like many other species, but when there is too many of them, oh dear. You wonder too whether the anteater would not mind trying something different tonight. Like how about a helping of termites? If not, then call the staten island exterminators just as soon as you have finished reading this story.
Because if you leave things just the way they are, you could be sitting with an even bigger problem later on. Go out one weekend and come back the next day and you might just find that you do not have a house to come back to. Ants may be hungry for work but termites, they are extremely greedy. For food. Wood, paper, pulp, plaster and all those other bits that go into keeping your house in one piece.

It starts with a steady mechanical beep. As the bright light begins to fade, you are able to make out a long hospital corridor that you don't recognize. People are pacing, concerned. Far down the hall, in the very last room, you see your own body lying motionless on a bed. Which is surprising, because you don't remember taking it off. And then things get weird.
After surviving a near-death, out-of-body experience, you are kidnapped by a doctor who is experimenting on people who satisfy certain… criteria. Escaping the doctor's laboratory will require new weapons, new powers, and a strong stomach for facing science gone bad.

Our very special offer for 2020 :
All Villers-Bretonneux as a half day tour :
- Adelaide cemetery from where the Unknown Australian Soldier was brought home
- Victoria School and visit of the new Franco-Australian museum
- Australian National Memorial on Hill 104 and visit of the new Sir John Monash Center

Also our full day tours in 2020 :
When it's springtime here in our Somme countryside – which has everlasting links with Australia since the legendary fighting days of 1916 – Canola is blooming yellow all over, draping our entire Somme landscape in bright shining gold, giving the appearance of a tribute to the many Aussie Diggers who fought for our freedom in this far away part of the world.
With this fitting image, we welcome you to TRUE BLUE DIGGER TOURS, a specialized touring company, exclusively dedicated to tour Australian battlefields and memorials along the old Western Front, including The Somme & Flanders Fields and bringing the ANZAC LEGEND alive!
Our tours are special! We understand, that you may not want to waste your valuable time after travelling half way round the world – and we have found that mixing up a tour coach with different nationalities and different interests is not a really satisfying experience to any single one of them. Because of this, TRUE BLUE DIGGER TOURS focuses exclusively since 7 years on Australian history of the Great War.
Following the opinion of Sir John Monash & Charles Bean, we have a strong conviction that the Aussie Digger of WW1 gave birth to the modern 20th century fighting soldier and we can prove this on Australian fighting ground!
I look forward to meeting you and guiding you on one of my battlefield tours.
I meet all my clients personally and pick them up with my TBDT bus, easy to spot with its Australian Flag crowned by the Rising Sun.
And please keep in mind: we provide tours all year round, even private tours!

Organic Honey
DevBhumi certified organic honey comes from the Apis Cerena honeybee indigenous to the high Himalayas of the Uttarkhand state of India. The area is famous for rich floral diversity. The valleys are filled with medicinal mustard and amaranth and the alpine meadows are free of pollution. The beehives include wall hives, log hives and wooden bee boxes that are kept in the high mountain villages.
DevBhumi organic honey is truly free of pesticides and other chemicals. It was the first honey in India to be certified organic in 1996. Organic certification is awarded by the Uttarakhand Organic Certification Agency (USOCA). Phytosanitary parameters are regularly tested by SGS.
In addition to certified organic honey, DevBhumi also markets multi-flora honey and litchi honey. All of our varieties of Devbhumi honey are available in sealed bottles of various sizes.

I should probably begin this review by explaining a bit about the Genesis Framework, of which Outreach is part. The framework offers a couple of key advantages: it is search engine optimised, and it is secure (the guys over at StudioPress do a much better job of outlining the benefits than me in their StudioPress 101 – it's a recommended read!). Since last year I've moved all my sites over to the Genesis Framework – it's that good. This very website runs on a customised version of the Modern Portfolio theme, which, along with Minimum and Metro, is one of my favourite Genesis themes.
So to use Outreach you have to be running the Genesis Framework – it won't work without it, and neither will any other Genesis theme. You can buy Outreach + the framework for $79.95. The framework alone is worth $59.95. $79.95 might sound like a lot for a theme, but you're not just buying a theme – you're buying a rock-solid foundation (with unlimited support and updates) for potentially every future site you own. Even if you only plan on owning one site, why not give it the best possible chance of success?
There are around 40 Genesis themes in all, and I believe there is enough variety among them to make at least one of them suitable for virtually every kind of site. You also have to remember that they are endlessly customisable – there's no limit to what you can do with them.
Let's get on to Outreach. Outreach was designed specifically for churches or other religious organisations. Despite that, it's being used on all sorts of other sites – a quick glance at the Genesis showcase confirms this.
What does Outreach have to offer?
Key features:
- front page slider
- 4 page templates (archive, blog, column, landing)
- 4 colour schemes (blue, green, orange, red)
- 6 page layouts (content/sidebar, sidebar/content, content/sidebar/sidebar, sidebar/sidebar/content, sidebar/content/sidebar, full width content)
- responsive
- custom widgets
One thing I like about Genesis themes is that they come with sample content so you can get your new theme looking like the demo and then work backwards replacing the demo content with your own.
