The following article aims to assist users in removing the screen-locking /account stealing virus called fake Amazon pop up ads. The removal guide is designed to work for all iPhones and MacBook Air.
Apple device users, beware. Your smartphones and laptops are under attack yet again, and this time the perpetrator is fake Amazon pop up ads. fake Amazon pop up ads is what is known as a ransomware virus, only, luckily, it's not the type that encrypts your files and leaves you unable to access valuable data. Instead, this variant belongs to the screen-locking virus type, which only blocks the screen of the affected device and thus prevents you from using it. Speaking of which, fake Amazon pop up ads specifically targets iPhones and MacBook Air laptops. We have not yet received reports of any other Apple devices being affected.
How to deal with this virus? What to expect?
The hallmark of this particular strain of screen-locking viruses (there have been several released over the past few months) is that they don't give you any information straight away. They tell you to contact an email address (fake Amazon pop up ads in this case) and only after you have done that do you begin to realize that you've actually fallen victim to a common blackmail scheme. In this case, the criminals behind the ransomware request they be sent an amount of 50 USD in order to have the screen of the smartphone or laptop unlocked.
Obviously, paying the criminals and complying with their demands should be the last thing on your to-do-list. And it's a good thing that you came to this page in search of a more viable solution to this problem. And we will also gladly provide you with one. Below you will find a detailed removal guide, with step by step instructions that you can implement yourself. We will also appreciate any feedback in the comment section, as well as questions regarding the steps described below. Our team of professionals will be happy to answer them.
And after you have successfully removed fake Amazon pop up ads and unlocked your device, we would like for you to start implementing some basic safety measures from now on, so as to avoid future infections of this type. A good place to start would be to be more careful with the websites you visit online. Avoid illegal and shady sites, torrent and file-sharing platforms as well as anything that looks like it could be harboring malware. In addition, as spam emails are among the leading ransomware transmitters, you would be wise to double check any incoming correspondence before interacting with it. Be especially careful with messages from unfamiliar senders or with suspicious addresses, and do not interact with attachments or links unless you are sure they're trustworthy.
fake Amazon pop up ads Removal Guide
Restart your device (for iPhones and iPads) by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the slider appears on your screen. Drag the slider for shutdown and press the Sleep/Wake button again.
If this is not possible and your device is not responding, you can force re-start your iPhone or iPad:
- For iPhone 6s and earlier, as well as iPads, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button together with the Home button for ten seconds or more. The Apple logo should appear on your screen.
- For iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, do the same for the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons.
For MacBook Air users, try to remove the battery from your device, then re-insert it and restart the computer.
After restarting your device, does the problem persist? If so, carry on to the next step.
In the event that the screen still remains locked, it would be best to contact Apple Support.
After (hopefully) unlocking your device you may want to check for any traces of the virus left. The following works for a Mac device.
Start Activity Monitor by opening up Finder, then proceed to
Once there, look at all the processes: if you believe any of them are hijacking your results, or are part of the problem, highlight the process with your mouse, then click the "i" button at the top. This will open up the following box:
Now click on Sample at the bottom:
Do this for all processes you believe are part of the threat, and run any suspicious files in our online virus scanner, then delete the malicious files:

All in a Day's Work: Tracing a Colonial Ancestor from the US to England in Occupation Records
This post is written by guest blogger Kate Eakman, Senior Researcher for Legacy Tree Genealogists.
Making the leap backward from the United States to England during colonial times can be difficult. There aren't those lovely modern passenger lists to use to determine the identity of the family left behind, places of birth, and family or friends who have already immigrated. But, if you are fortunate, and know one or two key pieces of information about that colonial ancestor, Findmypast has some great databases which can help you to make that leap across the pond.
Let's imagine your ancestor was John Randall, an Englishman by birth who ended up in Anne Arundel County, Maryland by the 1790s. From the census records you know that he was born no later than 1765, but he could have been born ten or twenty or more years earlier than that since he only appeared in the "white males 45 years of age and older" columns.
You also know that John was a joiner or a specialized carpenter who made the wooden parts of a building such as stairs, door frames and doors, and window frames. But you are stuck on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay, unable to find John Randall in England. A search for John Randall with various spellings of his name results in a thousand possible matches for men born in England between 1725 and 1765.
Fortunately for you, there are a series of specialized document sets on Findmypast which can help you trace John Randall. They are all related to his occupation and can be used to trace any ancestor who lived and worked in a specialized trade in England between 1442 and 1933.
From medieval times, the most common way for a young man to learn a trade was to become an apprentice. His parents would pay a fee to a master craftsman to take in the young man for at least seven years and teach him the skills of the trade. Careful records were kept of the name of the apprentice, the name of the master, and the trade which the boy was to learn -- and those contracts still exist today. Findmypast has several of these record sets available: Country Apprentices 1710-1808; City Of London, Haberdashers, Apprentices and Freemen 1526-1933; City Of London, Ironmongers, Apprentices and Freemen 1511-1923; and London Apprenticeship Abstracts, 1442-1850.
In the case of John Randall, you know that the haberdashers (in England this meant dealers in small items used for sewing such as buttons, thread, needles, etc.) and the ironmongers (one who made iron hardware, such as handles, hinges, and locks) were not the places to look for him, but the Country Apprentices and the London Apprenticeships Abstracts are both possible places where a man who was a joiner might be found.
Your search yielded two entries for the same person: Master John Randall, a carpenter from Sherrington or Sherington in Gloucestershire, took in two apprentices--one in 1761 and one in 1764. While it is certainly possible that Master John Randall of Gloucestershire could be the ancestor you seek, we still need to find some evidence that this man emigrated between 1764 and 1790.
This is where another document set comes in handy. Findmypast has a set of passenger lists (Early Emigration from Britain 1636-1815) which, depending on the date of travel, can contain some very specific information. Your next step is to search that document set for John Randall of Gloucester, traveling between 1771 (when James Lowe's 1764 apprenticeship would have ended) and 1790 (when you already found John living in Anne Arundel County, Maryland). Your search resulted in four possible options, three who traveled to Philadelphia and one who traveled to Maryland:
The three men who left in 1774 for Philadelphia were a sawyer from Kent, a husbandman from Salisbury, and a laborer from Salisbury, none of which matched the ancestral John Randall, joiner. But the first man on the list was 40-year-old John Randall, a carpenter and joiner from Gloucestershire. He embarked on the ship Sibella from London on 21 March 1774 and landed in Maryland.
You can also see a copy of the actual passenger list which provided you with the information that John was traveling with his wife, 30-year-old Ann Randall. Their final destination was Maryland where they intended to settle. This matches the age of the woman who appeared in the U.S. census records you had already found and provides a possible name for your ancestor's wife.
While there is still more research necessary before you can definitively say that the John Randall you found in Gloucestershire is your ancestor, by utilizing these unique record sets available on Findmypast you have managed to find what appears to be the ancestor you were seeking. And, once you have verified that the two men are the same person (John's Maryland will naming his wife, Ann, would be a great start, or a deed naming the two of them buying or selling a piece of real estate, would be another way to confirm the connection1) you have a very specific part of England to begin your search for John Randall and his ancestors in Gloucestershire.

Every Thanksgiving, it happens all across America: Well-intentioned hosts do a disservice to wine appreciation by serving wines in dusty, dirty or detergent-tainted stemware.
Thanksgiving is a time when families get together. As a result, it's one of the few times each year when people use all of the stemware that they have in the house, oftentimes reaching deep into the glassware cabinet for "stems" that have been collecting dust all year.
It's also one of the times of year when people bring out their best wines. Tragically, so much of that wine is wasted in glasses ill-suited to accommodate the nuance of fine wine.
Here are five tips for prepping your stemware for Thursday's feast, whether you'll be serving wine in glass or crystal.
5. Wash Your Stemware Ahead of Time
A side table adorned with a battery of resplendent wine glasses will add panache to your party. And it's always great to have extra stemware on hand for unexpected guests.
4. Wash Your Stemware Without Detergent
Remember: Wine has alcohol in it and one of the miracles of wine is that it sanitizes its vessels. (It's one of the reasons that wine plays such an important role in the human experience.) Use hot water and a dish towel to remove any traces of lipstick or sediment.
3. Dry Your Stemware Well
After washing your glasses, use a dish towel to dry them well. This is more important than it may seem: Tap water has minerals in it that can taint the glass and if you leave moisture in the glass to dry, the liquid will aggressively collect dust from the air as it evaporates. VERY IMPORTANT: When drying your glasses, be sure not to twist them from the base; otherwise, you risk snapping the stem.
2. Never -- I Repeat -- NEVER Serve Wine in Warm Stemware
Pouring wine into a warm glass will drastically affect its aroma and flavor. It's one of the reasons that you should prepare your stemware beforehand. Having to wash and dry stemware at the last minute because unexpected guests have arrived is the last thing you want to do when you're about to serve your Thanksgiving feast to the people you love.
1. Prime the Glasses with Wine
In antiquity, the Romans would pour a little bit of wine on the ground -- a libation -- as an offering to the gods. Not only did this sanitize the vessel, it also helped to remove any unwanted dust. Wine -- NOT WATER -- is the ideal liquid for prepping the glasses. The two main elements in wine are water (H2O) and alcohol. When you add even the smallest amount of water to that balance by virtue of water residue, you upset the equilibrium. The alcohol and acidity in the wine are ideal for rinsing the glass of dust and detergent taint.

Engaging with our readers is essential to the mission of the Houston Press. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Houston's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
Here's how you do it: Line up, say, six glasses; pour a very small amount of wine into one glass, just enough to be able to cover its entire inner surface when swirled; then swirl the glass; then pour the wine into the next glass; and repeat.
Whether you're drinking a humble Beaujolais Nouveau or an aged Barolo or Burgundy (and even if you're serving your wine in common glassware), these steps will ensure that the wine can show its best.

One Platform for Value-Based Care
Value-Based Technology Platform
Manage Your Entire Value Business from a Single, Integrated Platform
IdentifiSM was built to manage value-based care for providers and health plans. Powered by advanced data integration and predictive technology, it combines care management, network management, risk adjustment, core claims administration, member management, reporting and analytics into a single, unified platform.
"Getting the technology in place and reminding people that this has to be physician-led…those things together are really what this relationship is about."
Dr. James Porter
President, Deaconess Health System
Focus on the Patients You Can Impact Most
Identifi brings together a complete set of data from electronic medical records (EMRs), claims, labs, pharmacy and self-reported and socioeconomic sources into a clinical profiling and predictive analytics engine that prioritizes patients you can impact.
Accurate and comprehensive record for each patient
Our data integration team aggregates, normalizes and quality-checks data before it is combined into our patient-centric data warehouse.
Clinically relevant facts about your patients
Identifi's configurable rules engine continuously updates patient profiles to ensure accuracy. Records contain clinical facts about each patient that are used to evaluate the impact of interventions.
Patient predictions that balance risk and your ability to make an impact
Identifi's predictive models and stratification logic combine insight-rich patient profiles with the latest advancements in data science to accurately identify open gaps in care. The result is a set of priorities that providers can use to direct efforts toward the greatest opportunities to positively impact the health outcomes of patients.
Integrate With Your Host EMR
User interface integration
Our EMR integration pushes critical insights and recommendations to your physicians within the host EMR. This allows physicians to quickly assess patient risk, see open care gaps, document risk appropriately and stay connected with the rest of the care team—all at the point-of-care.
Data integration
Identifi integrates data from a wide variety of EMRs and practice management systems, bringing relevant clinical data into our enterprise data warehouse and clinical profiling engine.
What Makes Identifi Different
Powerful prediction
One of the most accurate in the industry, our model boasts a c-statistic of .82—an indicator that it strongly predicts which patients will experience a given outcome.
Evidence-based interventions
Interventions are built into personalized care plans and made actionable through mobile and web-based applications, and EMR integration.
Beyond population health
Fully integrated network management, utilization management and core claims administration drive a holistic approach to value-based care driven by a unified technology platform.
Identifi Applications
A web-based application that supports care advisors in triaging patients, conducting assessments, developing care plans and managing their list of prioritized action items. Identifi Care considers your patient's risk level and specific health problems to recommend a set of evidence-based interventions.
A web-based application for physician practices that keeps them connected with the extended team helping their patients. The application also helps physicians identify and resolve undocumented chronic conditions and offers reporting to monitor a performance against value-based care goals.
A tool designed for patients to easily interact with the care team when enrolled in a care program. The secure mobile application allows patients to access the care team roster and to initiate contact or upload biometric data while on the go.
A web-based application built for provider-owned health plans. Unlike utilization management (UM) solutions created for payers, Identifi Review is fully connected to the rest of Identifi, so UM decisions can be supported by the latest EMR and claims data and the patient's current care plan.
A web-based provider data management application allowing providers and network managers to create, maintain and access provider directory data. Identifi Network provides a central location for network managers to document changes and track interactions with providers.
Health Plan
Supports health plans with claims adjudication and processing through a flexible benefit configuration process. It also enables premium billing, automated nonpayment processing, member enrollment data tracking and provider contract management.

One of the first non-lawyers to lead an English law firm has died at the age of 56.
Cheshire firm Aaron & Partners last week announced the sudden death of its chief executive Andy Duxbury (pictured), who had been with the practice since 2006.
Born in Blackburn, Duxbury graduated from the University of Leeds and spent the next 20 years working in marketing and business development roles for companies including Boots and RAC.
He moved into the legal profession in 2000 – first with Bevan Ashford as marketing director and then with Cobbetts in Manchester.
Aaron & Partners had first appointed a non-lawyer chief executive in 1990 and Duxbury used the skills and experience he had gained from within and outside the profession to help the firm develop.
Simon Edwards, senior partner, said: 'Lawyers are not easy to manage, but Andy was always able to build consensus through his clear thinking, determination, patience and charm.'
Mark Briegal, corporate partner and head of the firm's professional practices team, added: 'As a non-lawyer chief executive with a commercial and management background, Andy had a broad view of the business and was able to articulate our strategy and implement it.
'Andy was one of the reasons that I joined Aarons and I shall miss him both personally and professionally.'
Despite the pressures of his role, Duxbury found time to serve as chair of advisers' network Cheshire Professionals and a member of Cheshire Business Leaders, as well as being an active member of the Cheshire branch of the Institute of Directors, of which he was chairman for three years.
His funeral will be held on Thursday at 10.40am at Chester Crematorium.

Steel Import Monitoring System Proposed for Extension Until 2022
The International Trade Administration is proposing to extend the Steel Import Monitoring and Analysis System for five years, until March 21, 2022. Comments on this proposal are due no later than Nov. 14.
The purpose of the SIMA system is to provide steel producers, steel consumers, importers, and the general public with accurate and timely information on anticipated imports of certain steel products. Under this system steel import licenses obtained through an online system are required by U.S. Customs and Border Protection for filing entry paperwork for imports of steel mill products. Import data collected through the issuance of these licenses are aggregated weekly and posted to a publicly available Web site. Further details can be found here.
The ITA states that the proposed renewal of the SIMA system comes at a time of significant challenges to the steel sector due in part to the extensive structural excess production capacity currently present in the global steel industry, which exacerbates import pressures and increases market volatility. The domestic steel industry and other steel market participants have previously expressed support for the SIMA system because it permits all participants to monitor import fluctuations in a timely manner.

Best Foods for Building Muscle: If you are working out with the aim of gaining muscle weight instead of losing fat weight, you will need to approach your diet in a different way. Most recommended healthy diets are designed with weight loss or maintenance in mind, which means that they will not contribute enough calories to allow muscle gain.
Muscle foods are high in protein and calories as well as vitamins and minerals, to promote muscle growth. Be careful with this kind of diet; it must be paired with a lot of weightlifting and other exercise, or else instead of muscle you will find yourself putting on a lot of fat! Here are some foods to pair with your workout routine for optimum muscle gain:
Eggs spent a while being out of favor because of their high dietary cholesterol content. However, recent data has shown that consuming cholesterol does not have as much of a role on blood cholesterol levels than initially thought. In fact, eating a lot of eggs shows very little link with heart disease, and is also a great way to gain muscle. Egg yolks contain a lot of concentrated protein and energy, perfect for a workout routine. Hard boiled or poached is the healthiest way to eat eggs, but a fried egg or two or maybe an omelette with breakfast can be fine in moderation.
Nuts are a fantastic source of healthy, clean calories for a weightlifter looking for muscle food that can be taken on the go. An ounce of almonds or cashews contains around 160 calories, as well as some high quality proteins, fats, and fiber. Unsalted, raw nuts are again the healthiest form, but roasted nuts with some salt are still miles ahead of starchy, oily snacks like potato or corn chips. Carry a package of nuts with you to up your calorie intake without eating any junk.
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is a double whammy of fitness. Not only do the curds contain casein, which is a slow digesting dairy protein, but they also contain good bacteria for your digestive system. Casein is great because it helps protein stay in your blood for a more prolonged period than most easier to digest proteins. Live cultures will break down nutrients that are difficult for your digestive system to work with, getting more nutrients out of all the other food you eat. Make sure to get full fat cottage cheese; this has more casein in it, and also more clean calories from fat, which is ideal.
Gaining muscle instead of fat requires a lot of focus on clean, healthy calories from fat. It is not possible to stick to an ordinary diet, because muscle building requires a lot of calories. However, if your go to for extra calories is pizza and beer, the weight you gain is not going to be muscle. Focus on clean sources of calories, like those mentioned here and other healthy, calorie-rich foods, for the energy and nutrients you need to get buffed up.

Health: programme for accelerated action on HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis (2001-2006)
Health: programme for accelerated action on HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis (2001-2006)
This summary has been archived and will not be updated, because the summarised document is no longer in force or does not reflect the current situation.
Health: programme for accelerated action on HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis (2001-2006)
The European Union is drawing up a programme for action aimed at accelerated action against the three main communicable diseases, HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, in developing countries. It is based on three major objectives: to increase the impact of existing interventions, make key pharmaceuticals more affordable, and support research and development of specific global public goods to confront these diseases.
Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament of 21 February 2001 - Programme for Action: accelerated action on HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis in the context of poverty reduction [COM(2001)96 final - Not published in the Official Journal].
This programme for action sets out the political framework presented in the Commission communication on the same subject of September 2000 also concerning the fight against the main communicable diseases. It aims to accelerate action against the three major communicable diseases (HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis) which kill 5 million people every year, particularly in developing countries, and which represent a substantial obstacle to development. In line with the policy set out in the previous communication, the programme for action is based on the same key objectives: to improve the effectiveness of existing initiatives, make pharmaceuticals more affordable and support the research and development of global public goods to confront these diseases.
Optimising the impact of health, AIDS and population (HAP) interventions targeted at the major communicable diseases and poverty reduction
The Commission considers that priority must be given to HAP interventions in the total budget for development cooperation for the period 2000-2006. As far as financial aid is concerned, a reform of aid management is required in order to allow more rapid disbursement. Consideration should be given to opportunities to direct unspent resources within country programmes and to use African, Caribbean and Pacific states (ACP) funds and other regional resources.
The importance of close cooperation with other international organisations is again emphasised. The Commission plans to conclude agreements with many organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and with the Member States to provide necessary technical and normative input to country programming and identification exercises.
Strengthening of pharmaceutical policies and capacity building
This action will be launched through national and regional cooperation, capacity building and financial assistance. Efforts will focus on the practical aspects such as budget management, purchasing, etc. The Commission will support, in particular, the development of quality control capacities, especially with regard to local production and the use of generics.
The Commission aims to accelerate the registration and marketing approvals of key pharmaceuticals in developing countries based on existing registration in developed countries, particularly via the existing programmes for key pharmaceuticals.
It also aims to promote closer cooperation between the pharmaceutical sector in developed countries and developing countries by encouraging the manufacturers of generic products and research laboratories to enter into licensing agreements and joint ventures with partners in developing countries. These activities require adequate protection, particularly in relation to intellectual property rights.
Making key pharmaceuticals more affordable
Tiered pricing: the high price of key pharmaceuticals is an enormous obstacle to progress in this area for developing countries. A global tiered pricing system aimed at providing these pharmaceuticals at lower prices in developing countries is essential for success in the fight against the three major communicable diseases. Such a system should be established following consultation with all the actors at global level: governments, the private sector (especially the pharmaceutical industry) and NGOs. It should also be accompanied by effective safeguards to ensure that these pharmaceuticals are actually delivered to the poorest developing countries (for example, technical measures such as differential labelling and trademarks).
Tariffs and taxes: there are other factors that can increase the price of these pharmaceuticals: tariffs, taxes, importation, distribution and local registration fees, etc. The effect of these elements is being analysed but importing countries (particularly the developing countries themselves) should perhaps be encouraged to reduce or abolish these factors.
Intellectual property legislation: there is a strong link between intellectual property and public health since the pharmaceuticals are protected by patents and their unauthorised production is forbidden. The Commission proposes helping World Trade Organisation (WTO) developing country members to implement the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), which should facilitate the sale of key pharmaceuticals whilst protecting manufacturers. It is important to note that there is a certain degree of flexibility within this Agreement. Compulsory licences may be issued in certain circumstances, in particular to address urgent public health concerns.
Research and Development (R&D)
Strengthening and increasing support for research and development at Community level: action against communicable diseases in developing countries is becoming increasingly important in the context of the Community's research tools. The Commission plans to commit EUR 130 million in research on the three major communicable diseases under the 5th Framework Programme for Research. Furthermore, a new major initiative is envisaged to support and accelerate clinical development and new interventions. The Commission is currently in the process of drawing up a communication on a European research strategy for global public goods to confront these three diseases. The Commission's assistance aims mainly to increase support for basic and strategic research with greater coordination at European and international level and to create a European clinical trials platform.
Capacity building in developing countries: developing countries will be involved at all stages of the research process. The Community expects vocational training and advanced scientific and technical training for researchers in developing countries to have a lasting impact. There will be close cooperation with the Community on specific studies.
Incentives for the development of global public goods: this involves, in particular, measures to encourage private investment in R&D activities and work on regulatory aspects in relation to new products. The Community will also continue the work of the Community research team on an AIDS vaccine.
Participation in global partnerships: within the framework of close cooperation at global level, it is important to promote the reform of the international financial architecture to foster increased availability and development of specific global public goods. In addition to strengthening partnerships with United Nations agencies and the WHO in particular, there should be closer cooperation with the United States and Japan.
The instrument chosen depends on the entry level. The main instruments are:
Funds will also be available from the private sector and other partners.
The Commission must develop specific efficient financial instruments for investing in global initiatives. The current financing system based on thematic budget lines is far from efficient.
The establishment of an institutional framework to facilitate political dialogue on this subject is also strongly advised.
This programme comes under the framework of the Community's global development policy, priority being given to poverty reduction and special support for the areas of health, AIDS and population (HAP). From this point of view, the programme must respect the basic principles for support for operations that require, inter alia, the adoption of a specific approach for the context and the environment and the involvement of the various actors.
The interdependence of the three objectives requires coherent, collective and simultaneous action at all levels. Progress will be followed up at two levels: global follow-up with the international partners and Community follow-up of the direct actions of the European Community.

I love reading about history and listening to stories, but more than anything I enjoy looking at the pictures that tell those stories. I like going through the 20-some photo albums my parents have and imagining how life was like, what the story was behind the photos, and how I feel like when I see those photos. All my life I've been in love with the act of documentation; from taking photos to writing in journals. It's much more interesting to tell stories using visuals so I approach photography from a storytelling style.
I live in Green Bay with my husband and our two kids. I have a degree in Marketing & Graphic Communications. I began shooting with a DSLR in 2010. Before that, I've photographed with film cameras.
I like to travel every chance I get - especially road-trips! I love sunflowers, raspberry sundaes from Culvers, and sunny-breezy Summer days. In my down-time, I enjoy designing websites, social networking, and creating collages of stuff I tear out of magazines.

You Can Now Let Alexa Listen for Longer
While some people think Alexa is stupid Let's Face It: Amazon Echo's Alexa Is Stupid There's no doubt voice-controlled assistants are the future, but is Alexa the solution? Perhaps not. In this article, I'm going to argue Alexa is actually rather stupid. Read More , most of us realize Amazon's artificial intelligence is extremely capable. After all, Alexa can help you play music on your Echo All the Ways to Play Music Using Your Amazon Echo and Alexa The Amazon Echo excels at playing music. Here are all the ways to listen to music using your Amazon Echo and Alexa. Read More , control your smart devices Best Amazon Alexa Voice Commands for Phillips Hue Take your Philips Hue lighting system to the next level with these easy-to-use voice commands for Amazon Alexa. Read More , dole out medical advice You Can Now Ask Alexa for Medical Advice Alexa has learned a new skill, and this one turns Amazon's smart assistant into a fount of medical knowledge. Just make sure you get a second opinion, eh. Read More , and even order takeout Alexa Can Now Order Takeout From Amazon You can now order a takeaway meal from Amazon Restaurants using nothing other than Alexa and your own voice. Which is perfect for those people who are too lazy to cook. Read More .
The only problem with Alexa is the need to say "Alexa" every time you want her to do something. Which can be a drag if you want to issue multiple requests. However, Amazon is endeavoring to make this a thing of the past with a new feature called Follow-Up mode.
Alexa Gains a New Follow-Up Mode
Follow-Up mode, as first spotted by CNET, means you can now ask Alexa to listen for longer. Once you have opted in, Alexa will then keep on listening for a few seconds after dealing with a request. Letting you make another request without saying "Alexa" again.
What you CAN do with Follow-Up mode is string multiple requests together. So, ask Alexa something, then when she's replied with OK, ask her something else. What you CAN'T do is ask her to do multiple things at once. Because she cannot yet multitask.
Not even joking went down stairs at 3am to my Alexa making a pizza and shouting drunk slurs at me…
— Arron Crascall (@arron_crascall) March 12, 2018
To turn Follow-Up mode on, just open the Alexa app and go to the Menu. Then, click on Settings and select your device. Then, just scroll down until you see Follow-Up mode, and toggle the slider across to On.
Even with Follow-Up mode on you can tell Alexa to stop listening by saying "Stop," "Cancel," "Thank You," or "Go to Sleep". She also won't remain active when there's audio playing, or when she's not entirely sure you're talking to her directly.
A Good Follow-Up to Alexa Laughing
Follow-Up mode is available on all hands-free Alexa-enabled devices, which includes the Echo Dot, the Echo Plus, and the Echo Show. Unfortunately, it's only available for U.S. English, although Amazon could add support for other languages in the future.
This seems like a good skill for Amazon to give Alexa. However, not all of Alexa's new skills are so welcome. Amazon recently gave Alexa the ability to laugh on command Amazon Stops Alexa From Laughing at You Once upon a time there was a nice, friendly artificial intelligence called Alexa. And then Alexa went rogue and started laughing at everyone... Read More . Cue people being scared witless by an unnatural laugh emanating from the darkness.

Trimming inventory has been made easier as visibility of shipments improves, but it leaves little room for error and even a slight disruption can divert cargo into the air.
05 Dec 2018
Of course, many factors can be involved in an air cargo volume uptrend, but this holiday season trade tension and the threat of higher tariffs certainly is one.
22 Nov 2018
Europe's main hubs are operating at maximum capacity, pushing increasing volume into secondary airports that are not always suitable.
19 Nov 2018
Like commercial aviation's takeoff and landing slot booking system, BRUcloud enables forwarders to reserve guaranteed slot times and designated warehouse dock doors with ground handlers, enabling their truckers to quickly discharge loads or collect shipments.

Collaboration is not just an activity, but a process, and it requires a focus on customer experience, logistics executives told the Traffic Club of Chicago at a Business Development Symposium Wednesday.
09 Nov 2018
Efforts to digitize the bill of lading that must accompany each shipment, whether on an ocean vessel or tractor-trailer, aren't necessarily new, but they're gaining ground in an era of e-commerce and tight capacity.
09 Nov 2018
Three major online buying events — Singles' Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday are coming — and when they are combined with the evolution of the three into global shopping and shipping events, it means more pressure on air freight pipelines.
07 Nov 2018
Executives from Imperial Logistics International participated in a wide-ranging question and answer session concerning the mounting intermodal transport challenges facing shippers and forwarders moving cargo around Europe.
23 Oct 2018
"There should be enough space as supply catches up with demand, but it is still possible to have a peak like we did last year [2017]," a spokesman for Freight Investor Service said.
19 Oct 2018
"I don't know if the peak this year will look like last year, but we have about 20 freighters and take a lot of volume in our widebody fleet that we expanded quite a bit, so there are a lot more destinations," Cathay Pacific CEO Rupert Hogg said. "But going into next year the future is unknown."
02 Oct 2018
The two main regional markets for air freight — Asia Pacific for international shipments and North America for domestic shipments — may be headed toward slower growth, due to the ongoing trade war between their two largest economies, Airports Council International said.
28 Sep 2018
The International Air Transport Association said this slowing growth was coming against a backdrop of rising trade protectionism measures, and wider momentum in global trade was weakening.
27 Sep 2018
At Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world's busiest passenger and 42nd busiest cargo airport, congestion and delays in picking up/dropping off loads are adding wait time surcharges, and in some cases storage expenses, on to already high transport bills.
26 Sep 2018
Further, trans-Pacific shippers will welcome the additional capacity, especially this peak season, for several reasons.
30 Aug 2018
Air cargo freight rates between China and the United States have been rising since July, according to US-based logistics provider C.H. Robinson, and shipper concern about lack of space on the trans-Pacific trade is a factor in that rise.
15 Aug 2018
The JOC Top 50 Global Logistics Providers, published on JOC.com on April 13 and in the April 16 Journal of Commerce magazine, misstated the annual revenues for Nippon Express.

"Trade wars never produce winners. Governments must remember that prosperity comes from boosting their trade, not barricading economies," the International Air Transport Association said.
03 Aug 2018
Schiphol's management said it expected lower overall freighter air traffic movements in the first half, due to capacity constraints, but its longer-term analysis remains encouraging.
31 Jul 2018
However, shippers should still expect some robust peak season pricing from the airlines that are seeking to extend their profitability, which grew at a strong rate in the first quarter.
25 Jul 2018
A slight dip in demand for air cargo in the first quarter has quickly reversed, with volume steadily increasing on the east-west trades.
20 Jul 2018
E-commerce and high-speed rail are enabling China-Europe rail services to give the air cargo industry a run for its money.
30 Jun 2018
Amazon's new network could help reduce shipper costs, and even aid other transportation providers, as volumes outstrip capacity. But as one might sense, Amazon's latest play also will affect resources in an already beyond-tight US trucking sector.
28 Jun 2018
Nippon is expanding cross-border services as Asia-Europe demand increases and as five Mekong subregion countries adopt an agreement that could serve as a trade model for other regions.
01 Jun 2018
Nova Scotia-based Tangier Lobster does not cut corners nor does it nickel and dime transport providers. "We will pay extra for the very best logistics options because we have extremely valuable cargo and do not want to disappoint our customers," Owner Stewart Lamont said.
30 May 2018
Austin, Texas, may one day be on air cargo operators' "A-List" for cargo pick-up, but until then shippers will continue to adapt, develop creative air transport solutions, and find air service niches to transport products to customers.
29 May 2018
Rising confidence in the air cargo market is good news for air cargo providers, as shippers and their forwarders move to lock in space and avoid the capacity constraints that characterized peak 2017.
09 May 2018
A series of factors has lined up to ensure European shippers importing air cargo from Asia will be stuck with services to the congested hub airports.
07 May 2018
Air cargo is changing — no longer is tonnage the sole, ultimate metric. Air cargo companies and the airports that serve them must be entrepreneurial-minded to meet the needs of transit-time, cost-sensitive shippers with their high-value cargo, and so far, three key Canadian hubs are meeting the bill.
01 May 2018
FedEx Corp. has tapped John A. Smith to run its FedEx Freight division as president effective Aug. 16, succeeding the retiring Michael Ducker. Smith, 56, has been with FedEx since 2000 but is unrelated to the company's founder Fred Smith.
27 Apr 2018
The rate hike may be just the beginning of additional, larger Federal Anti-Monopoly Service fee increases, as part of Russia's response to the West's latest package of sanctions, imposed by the United States, and supported by many European allies.
05 Apr 2018
The year is off to a good start in terms of air cargo volume, but the trade dispute between the United States and China is making confident predictions for 2018 difficult.
28 Mar 2018

28 Mar 2018
Life has been good for heavy-lift air cargo operator Antonov after the breakup with its partner, with the company notching job wins in oil and gas, energy, aerospace, agriculture, telecommunications, and other industries. But that, in a sense, was not surprising, given its advantage — seven AN-124-100 freighters with payloads capable of transporting 150 metric tons.
19 Mar 2018
E-commerce and pharmaceuticals are driving up air cargo volume and leading the industry into a period of sustainable growth.

In the long-running snowball fight between rival makers of snowball equipment, SnoWizard scored a huge win on Thursday when its competitor, Southern Snow, was ordered to pay $102,000 in federal court because it infringed a SnoWizard patent. Mark Waller, who covered the trial for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, noted that Thursday's judgment came as a result of a bitter, years-long conflict between the manufacturers.
SnoWizard has been at the center of the battle for control of the New Orleans snowball market for years, and the controversial company has been pelted with plenty of accusations. Waller said that in 2009 four companies had even joined an attempt to get the feds to prosecute SnoWizard under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act — originally intended to target the Mafia and other organized crime organizations.
In 2009, Gwen Filosa, also reporting for The Times Picayune, described a lawsuit filed by Parasol Flavors against SnoWizard, accusing them of stealing trademarked names. At the time, she wondered aloud if the case had "a snowball's chance of being taken seriously by the courts."
It did. Four years later, on Wednesday, Waller reported that Judge Nannette Jolivette Brown had signed a consent decree which stated that the following names were too generic to trademark and any snowball maker could use them — "hurricane, buttercream, buttered popcorn, dill pickle, Georgia peach, king cake, praline, cookie dough, cake batter, mudslide, orchid cream vanilla and tiramisu."
Yes, they were calling each other crooks and operators of an organized crime organization because they used the name "hurricane" in New Orleans. We're lucky that popular New Orleans tourist spot Pat O'Brien's didn't get embroiled in the mess. The French Quarter bar is often held to be the creator of the famous Hurricane cocktail.
If you're wondering why the battle was so bitter, wonder no more. In the greater New Orleans area, where genuine snow is virtually unknown, tasty snowballs like "mudslide" and "cake batter" are traditional summer treats.
Tyeesha Dixon reported in the Baltimore Sun that start-up costs for starting your own snowball stand usually run around $10,000 to $15,000. A commercial snowball shaving machine alone can cost up to $4,000 — and soft, fluffy shaved ice is critical to the making of a genuine New Orleans style snowball.
On their website, the 75-year-old SnoWizard is currently offering a "super" start-up package for a tad over $10,000, although there's a "budget" package for around $2,800.
Any way you shave the ice, there's a lot of money for manufacturers in snowballs. So is the snowball fight finally over with the $102,000 judgment? Waller says no. A separate case involving several of the contentious snowball makers is still making its way through the courts.

Making of a professional software developer!
I came across an interesting lecture on professional software development by Robert Martin, a promotion part of video lecture series on clean code. I would recommend every software developer, and aspiring ones, to listen to. I believe that you will find this as quite thought provoking, and inspiring, just as his many other lectures are. You would find it gently nudging you out of comfort zone into challenges of evolving into a true professional
Head count of manpower involved in software development has multiplied manifold from the time I started my career in software development more than two and a half decades back. Technology involved has changed, and software development environment has changed as well. World of software, and its role in the world, too has changed quite a lot since then…. and, as software reached out to every walk of life, complexity and expectations too has increased manifold.
As we have reiterated many times over, software is essentially a construction in mind in first before it is executed in computer. It gets created in the minds of users, customers, developers, testers, … and often these do not connect breaking dynamic equilibrium of balance as software evolve. Making it still harder, complexity and disconnect increases exponentially with increase in the number of minds involved. It does not make any sense to wish these complexities away. These are here to stay. It can only get more complex and challenging, as we depend more and more on software.
Key to being a professional is to get on top of these. That is, a true professional would stand up for what he believe in, what he likes to do, take up the initiative, own up the commitment and deliver to the commitment. A true professional will see commitments as extremely important, not a casual word. We work as we work as a team, and a whole chain of commitments depends on your commitment. Many business, and many lives, depends on it and if commitments are not honored all of them are affected. It is your responsibility to see that commitments made by you are honored within time, budget and quality expectations. That is, you are absolutely in charge of the situation, rather than its victim.
Note: Video of interviews with a super star from Indian film industry and another one with a master batsman from Indian cricket embedded here, both worked their way up fighting many odds. Both are involved in a profession which calls for individual excellence and team work for success. Both are professional who made indelible in their space, and are reflecting back on their rich experience. I believe spirit of professionalism cuts across many disciplines. It may differ on details but fundamentals remain the same. It is about conviction, self belief, working hard for what you believe in, working as a team and and winning against many odds, in the right spirit
I believe, technologies, processes, methodologies and tools have evolved to a great extent by now and these can help us address the key challenges, if we can put these together in the right way, as people/team enabler. Well, it is important to get it right.
Also, it is important to stay clear of dogmas, and realize that when we direct attention towards moon by pointing in that direction, the pointing finger is not moon. It might sound trivial but it is common to see finger being confused as moon. What do I mean by that?
I have seen process quality standards like CMMI degenerating into a compliance ritual. Insistence (by whom? It is interesting to know) on excessive documentation leads to outdated, and even lack of (gets postponed as it is time consuming), documentation. Later documentation is done purely to satisfy auditing needs. That is, an initiative intended to help you manage collapse on its own weight. The real problem is not with CMMI but in its adoption
I have also seen free and honest communication getting compromised in so-called 'agile' environment with regular meetings turn into witch hunting and 'save my skin' interactions. That is, the term 'agile' gets stripped of its core values and gets used as a matter of convenience rather than any good. Again, what fails is not 'agile' but its adoption
Automation initiative, that starts with purchase of a commercial software for software development, get stuck in learning some esoteric aspects of the tool rather than addressing true automation needs. Again, problem is not automation rather how automation is approached and implemented
It is curious to see the patterns of wrong adoption repeating itself. While technologies, processes, methodologies and tools can help us in addressing key challenges, often, it is the related technical details grab attention through advocacy of vociferous loyalists and marketing machinery, rather than applying them right. The fact that these are enablers in the first place is conveniently forgotten
Looking around, it look forward to a phase in software development, a phase that physics had gone through between Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton … a phase of consolidation, period of drastic and intense changes with far reaching impact. We have seen some of these continuing even into early 20th century through Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg , et al…. and as an industry, we continue to deal with more unknown factors than known ones, till the dust settle
I hope to see software development eventually settling down to become a profession, in its true sense… It has changed over years but still it needs to go a long way before it can truly be called a responsible profession.
Lifecycle of a buzzword: A cynical perspective
In my tenure in IT industry spanning more than two decades by now, I have seen rise and fall of many buzzwords. Some of them are: Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Base Computer Systems in 1980s, Rapid Application Development and Object Orientation in 1990s, Use cases and Stories in 2000s, … and the list goes on… debate goes on 'object oriented or structured?', 'agile or CMMI?', 'agile or UP?', 'use cases or stories?'
I am not disputing the value of these but rather questioning the hype that comes around these as they emerge. These hype help business of promoters but adversely affect their proper interpretation and implementation. It is equivalent to percolating modern innovations and approaches in healthcare through marketing machinery, skilled in marketing than healthcare.
Hardly any scientific analysis can happen without demystifying buzzwords first, and that requires going to its very origin. I do this regularly, try to see through these hype, just as I am sure many others like me in the industry also do. In the process, I have also noticed a pattern to meteoric rise and fall these buzzwords, going through different phases as below. Quite often, this is carefully orchestrated for obvious reasons.
Discovery: Each of these emerge out of experiments in a relatively small group; some one or a team taking extra care to pull out key factors those helped and those worked against. Those helped soon are packaged into best practices, spiced up with adequate marketing masala .
Evangelization: At this point, it takes a curious turn that marketing machinery is now active looking for 'nails' for this new found 'hammer' . That is, inventing problems for new found 'silver bullet' is a business imperative to justify cost put into packaging the solution!
Adoption: This effort, in general, is richly rewarded, finding fertile ground in the minds of 'managers' looking for 'quick-fix silver bullets'.
In most of the cases that I have come across, problems are project specific though might have some resemblance to problems elsewhere. Solutions from outside, based on experiences in solving similar problems elsewhere, can help providing objective assessment and guidance but cannot simply solve these problems, by themselves. It is so because problems, in their very nature, are unique, intrinsic and integral to the project. External agencies (consultant, contractor, methodology, tool, ..) can help to identify but uprooting must necessarily be internal act.
At Mount Everest: What follows is a war of buzzwords; at times, one winning over another at times in terms of mind share to become 'de facto' standard…. Curiously, this is beginning of decay and rotting starts within, largely unnoticed… Each buzzword acquire new meanings far away from its original form….Originators are now caught between dilemma of what they created or dumping it…They go about issuing clarifications and revisions, further adding to noise…
Big Bang: What follows is disillusion and decline. Horror stories of failure emerge out of cupboard and world is on the look out for a new buzzword … and the life starts all over again.
Outsourcing: sustaining business growth
Companies in India have been into outsourcing model, with reasonable amount of success so far. Many companies of recent origin has been shot to prominence, living standards of a section (yes, it is only a tiny fraction still but rest of India is still starving) has improved, quality of infrastructure is improving (of course, not yet how it should be but it is changing). Good but I think, it is not yet time for India Inc to rest on its laurels.
Why talk about it now? I came across an interesting write up 'When will TCS become the next Accenture?'. It is an eye opener; it should be one. As per the write up, TCS ranks as #1 in software services/outsourcing and it is (but it is only) 9th largest software services company in the world; where are the rest? What is India Inc's share in global business?
Being successful is one thing, sustaining and building up on earlier successes is yet another. if first part is hard, second is harder. I am not referring to packaging and marketing. They are required but that is not sufficient in itself. It is also about watching the ground we stand, it is about assessing the battlefield, and realigning strategies to evolving world.
What I find particularly interesting in the write up is 'employee utilization'. It brings hard questions on many intangible aspects of how business is functioning. What was 'good enough' for the past is not 'good enough' for the times ahead. It is not just about TCS. It is about India Inc
Be the change!
This blog post is inspired a blog from my friend 'Are we losing a long term Vision'
I do not think this is a recent happening. This tendency used to there and will continue to be.
It takes conviction in oneself to be different; determination will follow. Conviction, determination, observation, and perseverance are critical to success.
I agree that there is visible mediocrity and lethargy even highest echelons in corporate hierarchy, just as with any other social segment. In my observation, it is intentional rather than accidental. It is a lack of application rather than a lack of skills. It is a matter of convenience, riding the wave created by some other leader in the past.
Well, it happens at the cost of the company. Is any one bothered? Patient is under close medical supervision while admitted into hospital, and under very close monitoring in the ICU. Routine sets in, after being discharged from the hospital. Do we take care even after that? How many of us do strictly follow medical instructions for healthy living? Personal health is one's own priority and responsibility. If that is compromised, there is surprise that organization health is compromised
As many times in the past, this brings me back to Mahatma Gandhi to say 'Be the change you want to see in the world'
What it takes to be a leader?
What it takes to be a leader? Is leadership a natural skill or an acquired one?
My take is: In Indian philosophy, we say 'Tat Tvam Asi'. It translates to 'that art thou'. God is in you; You are God. Difference between the leader and the rest is that leader is able to see the God in the self and the other is lost in the illusion. Once you start seeing the God in you, you start seeing God in others and everything else. You start seeing the potential for synergy and potential for making things happen rather than letting things happen. You move on, and take the team with you, come rain or sunshine
Therefore, I think it is natural that 'A leader is neither born nor made but identified himself / herself'. It is a case of self realization and self actualization, or an approach towards it.
Who can be a better person than the one who rose from humble beginnings in one of the remote places in India to become the President of India. In a world that is desperately searching for success, there is a lot to learn from his experience and wisdom
Patterns of healthy business: Cash flow
Taking analogy between business and living organism further, cash flow is like breathing. An organization with problems in cash flow inwards and outwards indicates a very dangerous situation. Breathing also part of being in active relation with the ecosystem with continuous exchange.
Money is the oxygen for any business. Hardly anything can be done without exchange of money within and outside. Short supply of money can be fatal and impact is immediate. This situation is result of poor performance in sales or lacunae in management of finance, or both. Impact of failure in sales is immediate, resulting in a cash crunch. Also, resources may quickly be drained out with poor financial management, leaving the organization gasping. This demands quick action with both departments working in tandem.
Note that quick does not mean adoption of desperate, ad hoc measures. Desperate measures could be too visible from the market, revealing the rot within. This makes business even more vulnerable and such measures could set the business on a tailspin especially under weak health.
What is required, at this stage, is intensive care with quick remedial action and close monitoring.
Elementary, right? Are you surprised why I am discussing this here? Can a business man, an enterpreuneur, or a professional manager make such mistakes? Fact is, there are surprisingly many business which fiddle around in these areas. There are tell-tales signs visible to trained eyes.
Watch out before decide …. to invest or work with
Patterns of healthy business: High trust, process oriented work environment
Going ahead with my experiences of healthy business is importance of high trust, process oriented work environment. Does the title 'High trust, process oriented work environment' sound like oxymoron? Fact is, it is sometimes interpreted and implemented so but it does not need to be so.
Start up companies are generally driven by entrepreneurial drive, high team cohesion and intense passion about work and business. Work gets done in the best possible ways with extreme focus on execution and success in every sphere of activities taken up. Team is characterized by i) mutual respect and trust, ii) quick and clear communication and iii) continuous feedback and correction
Healthy business culture retains best of both worlds. In the attempt to move to a healthy business culture, companies of entrepreneurial business culture slips down to bureaucratic business culture as they grow bigger. This happens when process is introduced to "control" rather than to "enable". This situation may be manageable where work is mechanical and mundane but drags down heavily when applied in the areas demanding creative and intellectual contribution. In an environment of mutual respect and trust, there is a lot that process can help in, when it is introduced as an enabler.
Such environments are characterized by professionals, they work with self respect, respect the peer and expect respect in return. They work not just for money but for passion as well. They are proud of their work products. Each one of them is aware of the need for checks and balances. Adoption of process is natural when process helps them do it better.

Mimicking American Apparel's beloved circle scarves, this simple project for a DIY Galaxy Circle Scarf tutorial is a great way to save money and look chic. A knowledge of sewing, a black scarf and bleach on hand are the only important things one should have.
By putting bleach into a spray bottle and squirting the substance on the black scarf, the color of the fabric will begin to change in front of your eyes. As adding bleach to dark colors is considered a faux-pas in the laundry world, it is now acceptable as it ombres the fabric to add gumption to the accessory. The DIY Galaxy Circle Scarf is a simple and easy way to get a designer product for minimal cost.
The DIY Galaxy Circle Scarf is Out of This World

Britain wants to see accountability for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and Saudi Arabia should investigate the death thoroughly and in a way that adheres to international laws, Prime Minister Theresa May said on Wednesday.
Last week, a UN rights investigator said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and other senior officials should be investigated over the murder, given credible evidence against them. A Saudi minister said the report contained "baseless allegations".
"We do want to see accountability for this horrific murder... We expect Saudi Arabia to take the action necessary to ensure such violations of international and national laws can't happen again," May said in parliament.
"We're obviously closely following the continuing investigation," she added. "We expect it to proceed in line with internationally recognized legal standards."
