4 Fitness Trends That Will Be Major in 2017, According to a Google Insider
Katie Maguire・March 13, 2017
Over the past year, several wellness trends have emerged. Think: staying in as the new going out, inflammation-fighting beverages FTW (turmeric latte break, anyone?), and putting your best makeup-free face forward rather than trying to get that Kardashian contour just right.
One thing that's certain? Fitness will remain the top extracurricular for millennials. And while SoulCycle and Barry's Bootcamp studios aren't going anywhere anytime soon, according to the pros at Google: the future of technology will have a major impact on the top trends of 2017.
"In 2017, specifically, we see the fitness experience becoming even more mobile, so on a phone, app, or tracker, to keep up with the everyday woman's crazy schedule and life."
Your phone may soon become a big part of helping you get the most out of your sweaty pursuits, Google business development pro Mary Liz McCurdy said this weekend at the Adidas Women Future of Fit panel at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
"Because we work with so many apps, we've seen firsthand the major uptick in apps popping up all over that aim to help people—and women in particular—reach their best, most fit selves," she explains. "In 2017, specifically, we see the fitness experience becoming even more mobile, so on a phone, app, or tracker, to keep up with the everyday woman's crazy schedule and life." (A few can relate to that, right?)
Scroll down to see the 4 major fitness predictions that McCurdy says will be huge this year.
1. Apps will become way more user-friendly (read: cool)
Instead of having to spend countless minutes (and hours) per day inputting your morning matcha latte, midday apple-and-nut-butter-snack, and post-spinning kale salad—not to mention endlessly searching for the closest match to your local spirulina smoothie—apps will become much easier to use, McCurdy says. "Apps are moving away from just counting calories or fitness tracking," she says. "From allowing users to snap photos of their healthy creations and interact with others to motivate each other to reach fitness goals, to in-app coaching and meal-delivery-service partnerships, logging your healthy habits will become much less cumbersome and allow users to reach their goals and actually stick to them."
Her app suggestions: Lose It!, LifeSum, and Lark
2. Pocket-sized trainers will be way more prevalent
While the future of the boutique fitness bubble is considerably uncertain, you don't need a crystal ball to know that more people are finding virtual trainers and workout programs that they can reach to no matter where they are. "In-app coaches and custom training programs are allowing people achieve their fitness goals on their time and at their level, whether they're in a hotel, gym, or their living rooms," McCurdy explains. "Especially with the uptick of social media communities—from BBG girls to #transformationtuesday junkies, people are actually finding in-pocket programs that change their bodies and provide a network of comrades in their pursuits."
Her app suggestions: BodBot, Sweat with Kayla, and Freeletics
3. Boredom is creating a whole new category of adventurous fitness
As much as people are loving their countless miles spent on treadmills—just me?—many are getting a little tired of the same ol' fitness pursuits (no matter how many celebrities pop up in their spin classes). The solution? Finding adventurous ways to get your sweat on, says McCurdy. "Besides just taking workouts outdoors with hikes and biking excursions, technology is also opening up a whole new category of fitness," she says. "People were getting bored of their regular playlists and self-guided sprints, and in 2017, game-ified cardio and story-led workouts will step in to keep people entertained."
Her app suggestions: Zombies, Run!, Runtastic, and Tracks
4. Meditation and mindfulness will only get bigger
Just in case you were nervous that your stress-busting secret weapon was losing steam in 2017, fear not—McCurdy confirms that it will only get more mainstream this year. "It's grown 50 percent since this time last year," she explains. "And access to techniques and reminders are only going to get more prevalent, thanks to new apps." She also predicts that it will become a bigger part of an average person's routine, popping up in places it never has before: everywhere from offices to schools to workout classes.
Her app suggestions: Headspace, Calm, and Simple Habit
These aren't the only trends that will blow up in the next year: find out why hyper-functional beverages will be everyone's new health tonic. Or see why the social scene is sobering up with alcohol-free clubs and events.

Somewhere you asked, "What next?" Consider a triptograph per week? I probably don't realize the effort of such a challenge but maybe it's another way to get your photos up and viewed. I'm glad I popped on this page and saw the montage of your photos….very powerful. Love the color, movement, combination of words and shadings. Awesome~!

How to Prolong the Life of Your Smartphone Battery
Smartphones are getting more versatile and amazing as each day goes by, but with the increase in their capabilities also came an increase in the amount of energy that they need to operate.
Seeing how battery size is quite limited if you want to have a reasonably small phone, most people have simply accepted the fact that they need to recharge their phone every two days, but if you are tired of this routine, there are a number of things that you can do in order to make sure that you get some extra juice out of your battery.
Some of these solutions will only work on older Android phones, as they have already been addressed in newer ones, but some will be able to benefit you regardless of the age of your device and the version of Android that it is running.
Image credit: www.mobileshop.eu
Keep your Phone Away from Heat
This is one of the universal solutions that will help you regardless of what phone you have. You'd be surprised at how much of an effect can heat have on your battery life. Try keeping your phone out of your pocket as much as you can, and never leave it in the sun or in a hot car.
Different connections that your phone is trying to establish or maintain can be really draining on your phone. Your data connection is especially tricky, so if you have a Wi-Fi connection available, make sure that you are using it instead of the data connection. If not, simply turn the data connection off when you are not actively using it. If, however, there are no Wi-Fi connections in the area, make sure that your phone is not constantly searching for one. Likewise, make sure that your Bluetooth is off whenever you are not using your headphones or making data transfers, as it can also drain your battery in no time.
Smartphone screens are getting nicer to look at, but their improvements, along with their size, contribute to the fact that they are one of the major drains on your battery. Luckily, minimizing their influence is quite simple. Apart from keeping the brightness at a lowest acceptable value, you should also make sure that you have removed all the unnecessary eye candy, such as live wallpapers and similar. Likewise, you shouldn't allow the screen to turn off after it has been inactive for a while, but should do it yourself, as soon as you're done with what you were doing. If you still want to it turn off on its own, at least set the time limit to the lowest value you can.
Rooting the Phone
Finally, if you want access to some of the more advanced solutions, rooting your phone may enable you to really make a difference. For one, you can flash a lower voltage kernel than the one you're currently using, or even underclock your CPU, so that it wastes as little energy as possible when you are not actively using your phone. Rooting your phone will also allow you to remove unnecessary bloatware, as well as automate different energy saving processes.

Real talk – I tried making this for Valentine's Day last year, and kind of blew it. I attempted to put too much on the puff pastry before adding the eggs, which slid right off while they baked, leaving nothing but the weird looking yolks (see Instagram picture below). One year on, I'm improving the recipe – keeping it simple, yet still cute, and sure to impress your Galentines or Valentine.
- 4 eggs
- 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry
- Heart-shaped cookie cutter (you can also shape the pastry with a knife or spoon if you don't have one)
- Flour (just enough to dust on the pastry sheet)
- Around 6 (a handful) cherry tomatoes
Serves: 2 people
Estim. Prep & Cooking Time: 30 mins.
- Allow puff pastry to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. If you don't have time, click here for helpful fast-thawing tips.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (you can use tin foil and spray with cooking spray in a pinch). Set aside.
- Lightly spread flour on a large cutting board, place sheet of puff pastry on top, then dust a little more flour on top of the pastry.
- Use a rolling pin or a glass to smooth out any creases or bumps in the pastry dough – but don't roll too hard. This is just to smooth the dough, not spread it out.
- Use the heart-shaped cookie cutter to make 4 heart-shaped pieces out of the pastry. If you don't have a cookie cutter, you can use a butter knife to draw 4 hearts (about 4×4 inches) by hand.
- Carefully transfer the pastry hearts to the baking sheet, keeping them at least 2 inches apart.
- Use a knife or spoon to draw an inner border in each heart, about a 1/4 inch inside the edge. This will allow the edge of the pastries to puff up, creating a border for the eggs.
- Use a fork to poke multiple holes in the inner section of each pastry. This keeps the inner part of the pastry from puffing up too much.
- Bake pastry hearts for about 8 minutes, until the edges rise.
- While baking, chop the cherry tomatoes into 2-3 slices each.
- Remove pastries from the oven. If the inner heart sections have risen as high as the edges, pierce them again with a fork.
- Press down on the pastries' inner sections with a spoon to create significant indentations for the eggs, then crack an egg into each heart. If you aren't able to press a deep enough well, the eggs might slide off while baking, which is what happened to me last year, and is why I've updated this recipe!
- Place a few cherry tomato slices on top of each egg, and add your preferred seasoning (I used salt and Trader Joe's Everyday seasoning).
- Bake again for about 12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set, but the yolks aren't overcooked.
- Set out to cool and remove any extra egg white if you wish to keep the tarts looking like hearts – I do this with a knife.
- Take pictures of your creation, share with your Galentines and/or Valentine, and tag me!

Love it! Smooth application and beautiful pigment!
I love this product! I use the shade star as a cream highlighter for both my face and eyes. It is a beautiful champagne shimmer shade that blends and lasts very well. I'm on my second pot of it and will continue to purchase!
I love this eyeshadow! It's very pigmented and the ingredients are just amazingly pure. This stuff goes on smooth and blends very well. Since trying this eyeshadow, I'll never use any other brand. I usually only buy the colors that are on sale, but hope to own them all one day.
I bought the shade star on sale. It's a super beautiful and natural color. It adds a little sparkle to your eyeshadow look without being too bright. It's super easy to use as well, all you have to do is put some on your finger and apply it to your eyelid. I will say that because it's a cream eyeshadow, it doesn't last as long if you have oily eyelids (like me). That would be my only complaint.
I love this shimmer. the "no makeup makeup look" so beautiful in the sunlight and natural looking

Book: Castles, Follies and Four-Leaf Clovers: Adventures along Ireland's St Declan's Way, by Rosamund Burton
Genre and Year of Publication: Travel/pilgrimage, 2011
Where I got it: Gift from a friend, last year (read in July; reviewed in October)
Length: 288 pages
Briefly, it's an account of a trek along an ancient Irish pilgrimage path which is being restored / revitalized
Comments: This was a re-read. Having just completed my second Compostela book this year (see my last post) and deciding that I'll never do it, I turned to this book again, in which Rosamund Burton treks the much shorter, much less known, and much less supported-by-amenities (such as hostels) St Declan's Way in Ireland. Running from Cashel in Co. Tipperary to Ardmore on the Co. Waterford Atlantic coast, it's about 100 km altogether, over some low but not easy mountain terrain, as well as along river paths and pleasant country paths. In this re-read, I saw that the author really pads out her account of the trek with a lot of stories about the people she met, their family history, the history of their houses, etc. Many of these people were already known to her, as she lived for a time locally before emigrating to Australia. These padding-stories are not uninteresting, by any means, but they were not exactly what I wanted to read about right now. It's a well-written book by an author who isn't quite sure whether she's "really" Irish or not, and who explores this question well in these pages, without letting the work degenerate into an angst-fest. Burton belongs in the "spiritual but not religious" category, and finds a lot of spiritual meaning in her trek. St Declan's Way is an unusual trek, and this is a new slant on a popular theme (the pilgrimage journal). Hopefully the Way will become a bit more popular in the future, but hopefully too it will never become part of the "pilgrimage industry" in the way that the camino to Compostela has.
Challenges: Non-fiction challenge; Full House Challenge for the Category "Re-read"; Reading Round Ireland (Waterford – where the author lived for a time)

I love to have a recipe that uses fresh ingredients
is easy to prepare and delicious too, of course.
I am a salsa kind of girl- so for me- it is perfect for setting out to enjoy as an appetizer.
I don't do technical, majorly detailed recipes for entertaining.
I want to enjoy visiting with guests and relax
so simple and easy entertaining recipes are the way to go.
Salsa is open to interpretation- more heat, less heat
a little corn or bean addition- etc. Have fun with it and make it your own.
Here is a favorite recipe of ours
serrano chile
sprinkling of sea salt (optional)
You can also add:
cut whole corn
whole black beans
chunks of fruit
ahem…watch out vampires. 😉
The Serrano chile has a little bit of warmth- not too much
but if you want a super mild
chile- you can choose something different.
After mixing everything together- squeeze the lime or lemon juice into it
and sprinkle your salt if you are using it and mix again.
I recommend tasting to make sure it is to your liking and then

A mischievous man (Felino Dolloso) pursues his passion for music and acting after losing his corporate job, his marriage and his home. Will he be successful in finding the fame and stardom that he's craving for?
Review by Andrew L. Urban:Comedic docufakery is different to mockumentary in as much as a mockumentary is presented as a documentary - but it's fiction. Docufakery, like this well-meaning, soft-hearted oddball film - is a self-aware fiction pretending to be a documentary. You can't mistake one for the other.The central subject of Adventures ... is the homeless man of the title (preferring to go by the name, Bobo), played with effusive energy by Felino Dolloso, whose giant wig of decorated (and annoying) dreadlocks is the real star - at least we see more of it than of him (behind sunglasses). The chapters are introduced by bold intertitles and subsequent scenes jump out at us - as does the film, which feels as if it has ambushed the viewer. As we follow Bobo on his adventures, we are introduced to a variety of characters in and out of the music business, as well as the wife who left him.The freewheeling, formless, improv style offers little by way of engagement and the hyperactive Bobo character distances the audience from what is in any case a rather unsavoury and self-centred oaf with musical pretentions. At least that, the persona he projects.His encounter with a drug dealer (Rico Banderas) who reveals he's actually selling flour not cocaine is a welcome highlight, but we have to wait 40 minutes into the film. Without a real story hook for most of the film's run time, or a strong character interest, the film drags through its paces as Bobo tries to reconnect with his ex wife. This, then, is the heart of the film, with Bobo delivering a heartfelt apology to her via the doco camera in a complete change of tone, with a heartfelt touch. But it comes too late to rescue the film. Perhaps this approach would have made a more successful short film.The best thing about the film is its (mostly) excellent sound.

Larry and the "Ping of Death"
Also known as "Larry mounts a DDOS attack against every single machine running Windows NT"
Or: No stupid mistake goes unremembered.
I was recently in the office of a very senior person at Microsoft debugging a problem on his machine. He introduced himself, and commented "We've never met, but I've heard of you. Something about a ping of death?"
Oh. My. Word. People still remember the "ping of death"? Wow. I thought I was long past the ping of death (after all, it's been 15 years), but apparently not. I'm not surprised when people who were involved in the PoD incident remember it (it was pretty spectacular), but to have a very senior person who wasn't even working at the company at the time remember it is not a good thing :).
So, for the record, here's the story of Larry and the Ping of Death.
First I need to describe my development environment at the time (actually, it's pretty much the same as my dev environment today). I had my primary development machine running a version of NT, it was running a kernel debugger connected to my test machine over a serial cable. When my test machine crashed, I would use the kernel debugger on my dev machine to debug it. There was nothing debugging my dev machine, because NT was pretty darned reliable at that point and I didn't need a kernel debugger 99% of the time. In addition, the corporate network wasn't a switched network - as a result, each machine received datagram traffic from every other machine on the network.
Back in that day, I was working on the NT 3.1 browser (I've written about the browser here and here before). As I was working on some diagnostic tools for the browser, I wrote a tool to manually generate some of the packets used by the browser service.
One day, as I was adding some functionality to the tool, my dev machine crashed, and my test machine locked up.
*CRUD*. I can't debug the problem to see what happened because I lost my kernel debugger. Ok, I'll reboot my machines, and hopefully whatever happened will hit again.
The failure didn't hit, so I went back to working on the tool.
And once again, my machine crashed.
At this point, everyone in the offices around me started to get noisy - there was a great deal of cursing going on. What I'd not realized was that every machine had crashed at the same time as my dev machine had crashed. And I do mean EVERY machine. Every single machine in the corporation running Windows NT had crashed. Twice (after allowing just enough time between crashes to allow people to start getting back to work).
I quickly realized that my test application was the cause of the crash, and I isolated my machines from the network and started digging in. I quickly root caused the problem - the broadcast that was sent by my test application was malformed and it exposed a bug in the bowser.sys driver. When the bowser received this packet, it crashed.
I quickly fixed the problem on my machine and added the change to the checkin queue so that it would be in the next day's build.
I then walked around the entire building and personally apologized to every single person on the NT team for causing them to lose hours of work. And 15 years later, I'm still apologizing for that one moment of utter stupidity.

Reese Brown and his company had quite a time. Through they passed hours of general inactivity with drinking during the election of January 17, 1856, they finally got the expected fight when proslavery men attacked Stephen Sparks. The immediate rescue didn't bring exchange of fire, but one came as soon as proslavery and antislavery men could separate far enough for it. They exchanged rounds at long range, in the dark of night, and took cover within some nearby houses. In the exchange Sparks' son suffered minor wounds. Two proslavery men did worse. One of the latter, a man named Cook, would die from a gut shot.
Fearing for his safety, Dr. Edward Motter sent to Kickapoo for help. The Kickapoo Rangers came, trapping Brown and some of his men on their way home from Easton. Brown tried to warn them off, but the Rangers had numbers on their side. J.C. Green described the encounter in rather retrained, summary terms. Henry Adams provided the Howard Committee more detail:
When we were about half way from Easton to Leavenworth, we met two wagons loaded with men, and one of the wagons was drawn by four animals-mules, I think. They hailed us to know where we were from, and wanted us to stop. There was a double track, and Mr. Brown drove by them without stopping. Shortly after we passed them, we saw another and a larger party in front of us, two wagons, and about thirty on horseback. The party in the wagons we already met, shouted to those in front of us, and they answered by shout, and then all rode around and surrounded us.
Green's account broadly matches that, but the way he tells it you could almost think that the men from Kickapoo executed some kind of smooth battlefield evolution and, after some consternation, Brown surrendered. Adams speaks to the genuine chaos of the moment, with men not just maneuvering but also charging forward to fully envelop the group.
Brown's party dismounted and raised arms as the proslavery men rushed forward, "levelling their guns and shouting." Adams inquired, amid "a great deal of noise and disorder," as to who had charge of the Rangers and Pierce Risely pointed him to a Captain Martin. Martin heard his name and rode over. Adams asked if he could get control of his men. Guns brandished or not, no one on the free state side seemed keen to fight it out just then. Martin obliged, "partially succeeded," and the crowd settled enough that Adams
turned round and saw George Taylor, one of our party, on the ground, and two or three men were around him, and partially over him, and he was making an effort to get up. As he got up, his head came in sight, and a man who had a hatched struck at his head.

Marvel's August solicitations feature a notable absence, as there appears to be no new issue of Cable. The title's cancellation was later confirmed by series writer Zac Thompson through his twitter account.
The time traveling mutants latest series debuted in 2017 under Marvel's X-men relaunch, ResurreXion. This volume will end with issue 159 which will conclude the series last storyline, 'Past Fears'. This storyline features Cable battling Metus, a character from his past, as each installment of the arc delves deeper into the hero's past.
For those sad Cable fans, the character will appear — according to the solicitations –alongside Deadpool in an annual issue written by David F. Walker and illustrated by Paco Diaz. This annual is most likely capitalizing on the duo's on-screen appearance in Deadpool 2. With the reception the film and Brolin have received, Cable is sure to make a return to at least one regular Marvel Comics series in the near future. Maybe even another solo ongoing series.

Wall Street Speculation
Legislation was introduced on Wednesday to impose a financial transaction tax on the trading of stocks, bonds and derivatives. The measure would reduce gambling on Wall Street, encourage the financial sector to invest in the productive economy, and significantly reduce the deficit without harming average Americans. "This bill offers us a clear choice. We can balance the budget on the backs of working Americans and senior citizens on fixed incomes or we can ask the gamblers on Wall Street to pay a little bit more in taxes," said Sen. Bernie Sanders, a cosponsor of the bill.
Under the proposal, there would be a speculation fee of 0.03 percent on credit default swaps, derivatives, stocks, bonds, and other financial transactions. It would yield about $200 billion in new revenue over the coming decade. The lead sponsor in the Senate is Tom Harkin. Rep. Peter DeFazio filed companion legislation in the House.
Some of the largest and most profitable financial institutions in this country now pay little or nothing in federal income taxes. Last year, Bank of America received a $1.9 billion tax refund from the IRS, even though it made $4.4 billion in profits and received a bailout from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department of more than $1 trillion. Citigroup made more than $4 billion in profits last year but paid no federal income taxes, even though it received a $2.5 trillion bailout from the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury. And, in 2008, Goldman Sachs paid only 1.1 percent of its income in taxes even though it earned a profit of $2.3 billion and received a bailout of more than $800 billion from the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury Department
"Enough is enough," Sanders said. "At a time when we have a record-breaking national debt and unsustainable federal deficit, the very least we can do is demand that Wall Street pay its fair share.

Buying Guide of The Best Lightweight Flexible Garden Hose
Choosing the best lightweight hose from the many hoses out there can difficult to some people. Here is how you can single out the perfect choice.
Some hoses are made of rubber, others made of vinyl but may also compose of other materials such as polyurethane or nylon. Some are made of a combination of rubber and vinyl. Vinyl is less expensive and is excellent for small tasks like watering plants.
Hoses made from this material work better in mild climates. Rubber hoses are more expensive and more durable. They can be used to transport even hot water and hold up very well in harsh weather.
Garden hose vary in lengths. You can find lengths of under 10 feet to ones with over 100 feet in length. Common lengths range from 25 to 50 feet long. Shorter hoses will cost you more per foot than longer hoses, but are often easier to drain and coil.
I find longer hoses heavier and difficult to handle. The length you choose should be determined by the task at hand or the size of your garden. It should also be determined by the ease of use. Long hoses are difficult to handle.
Fittings connect the hose to the water spigot. Plastic fittings are a lot less expensive but have a shorter lifespan. You can go for brass fittings, which are more durable. They also maintain their threads for longer.
Crush-proof brass fittings are much stronger than those made from stamped brass. Whether the fittings are made from brass or plastic, female octagon-shaped fittings are better than regular round fittings. They are easier to use too.
Kinking and Burst Strength
Before you purchase the hose, you can open the package and unroll a few feet and fold it back to see if it kinks. Kinking can be annoying, and it is one of the reasons why using a garden hose can be so difficult.
You should also check the label for its burst strength. Burst strength is simply the amount of pressure than can cause a hole to burst through the hose. Burst strength varies from 50-600 psi. Higher psi means the hose is stronger.

I haven't updated in a while…I've been a bit preoccupied with…well, teaching. I agreed to teach a high school discussion class, which meets seven times in a semester, as well as a high school interview, which I do three times total this year. I get extra money, but it also means I'm extra tired from having to plan and research more. I got behind on planning for my regular classes too (or so I say. I still plan ahead by at least 2 weeks, but I used to plan ahead by a month). And then I had to plan my summer camp and that took even more energy.
I've also been struggling personally since the "honeymoon phase" of staying in Korea ended a few months ago. I , admittedly, miss my friends and family back home and I generally have difficulty with adjusting to some things in Korea and find that I get bored super easily. I have no interest in watching anything, and I'm just not in the mood to do anything, which makes it harder for me to write here as well. When I first arrived in Korea, I was convinced I could stay here for at least 2 years. But now I can say with conviction that I'm leaving after just one.
As much as I enjoy my life in Korea, there's only so much I can take…I'm currently deskwarming a lot because of summer camp lately, so maybe I'll update more often…we'll see….

For today's Mexican cartel Facebook and an IP address is as invaluable as machine guns and armour-piercing bullets, says Brad Barker, president and founder of US intelligence contractor, HALO corporation.
In Barker's view, 'cyberspace' is the new battleground and social media is the weapon of choice, of course backed by actual weapons, killers, and transport for shifting drugs and humans.
The problem for US law enforcement is that Mexican drug cartels have been quicker than them to embrace social media, such as Facebook but also blogs, for intelligence gathering, Barker told the AusCERT conference in Queensland.
Media and social media is the weapon of "mass effect", said Barker.
"They're killing people, they're using media to get their word out. It's media that's the payload," he said.
Facebook has allowed cartel members to automate intelligence gathering processes that would have taken trained intelligence gatherers years to acquire.
As evidence of his claim, Barker pointed to the La Familia Mexican cartel which recently incorporated Facebook into its 'mode of operation' for human trafficking. The cartel would plant a teenager, illegally brought in to the US from Mexico, in an expensive US private school as part of a human trafficking program.
"The kid attends class, gets good grades, joins sports teams, gets popular. They get on Facebook, they Friend everybody. I Like you, I Like you, I Like you," he said.
What sounds like a convoluted method of intelligence gathering is in fact highly efficient, said Barker.
As the social network built up, La Familia "shot-callers" in Mexico were logging in to the plant's Facebook page and scouring it for human trafficking targets.
"And they said, bring me her, bring me her and bring me her," he said, with the kidnapping decision based on visibility, value and vulnerability.
"They're doing this remotely from a foreign country with agents in the US, and they're using Facebook to automate the process of target selection."
Another turning point for Mexican cartels' use of technology occurred after the confusing standoff between Anonymous and the Zeta cartel over an allegedly kidnapped Mexican blogger who had an affiliation Anonymous.
Anonymous' threat to expose members of the cartel was met with the response that 10 people would be killed for every person whose details it leaked. The blogger was released but Anonymous backed down and chose to sit on the information they claimed to hold.
"Anonymous, a hacker group - very powerful - basically bailed on Operation Zeta. And now the Zetas ... went up against the most sophisticated hacktivist group in the world and prevailed."
While not everyone would agree with Barker's assessment of Anonymous, the Zeta's triumph "sent a very serious message to law enforcement in the region that these guys are standing virtually uncontested."
More importantly, the event inspired the Zetas to invest in IT training that would be used to silence Mexican bloggers.
"The Zetas got confident and started to outsource some training for how to do IP trace routing. They learned how to tag, track, locate and eliminate the people that were blogging the cartel's activities," said Barker.
"It was chocking off their revenue streams... They had to put an end to it. And how did they do it? The same old way they have been: by killing people in a public way and torturing them and then writing notes to the media in their own blood that this is what happens to you if you blog about the Zetas."

CATLIN staff participated in the Society of Military Engineers (SAME) US Marine Corps Engineering and Construction Camp in June at MCB Camp Lejeune. Mike E. Mason and Kameron Smith represented CATLIN and the SAME Cape Fear Post at the STEM Camp.
They hosted the Engineering Reaction Course which included five activities for each team with direction and evaluation provided by the Post. Following each event the teams were graded and an eventual team winner was declared at the end of the competition.
The SAME – US Marine Corps camp is geared toward students interested in pursuing engineering related studies in college or a service academy and is built on the steps Professionals encounter when working with a client to deliver sound installation and facilities related products.
Campers live, eat and complete activities as a squad of 10, under the guidance of a uniformed service member and two STEM related working professionals. Berthing is provided in Marine Corps barracks, meals are taken at galleys or in the field, and instruction is conducted at various sites aboard MCB Camp Lejeune.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Does Not Care About Your Book Club, and 10 Other Things I Learned at her City Arts & Lectures Event
1. She is running the show. Who run the world? Chimamanda.
The person interviewing her last night, Dave Eggers, is also an author, albeit not one of the same international renown as Adichie. They are friends, and she had some questions about The Circle and What is the What, so she turned the tables and started interviewing him! To his credit, he demurred, and tried valiantly to get her back on track with questions about her own work. Still she persisted – she took over the interview. While it was a bit maddening as I really wanted to hear about Adichie's work rather than Eggers's, I was in awe of her disregard for the conventional way this evening was supposed to go. She wanted answers!
2. She is irrepressibly stylish and glittering.
She glided out onstage at the Nourse in a white sequined top, and tight boot-cut patterned pants with stiletto heels. So beautiful it hurt the eyes. It may be shallow to comment on appearance, but to be fair we clapped for so long that the first few minutes were just looking at her.
3. She thought "maybe 7 people would read Americanah."
Throughout the evening, her modesty stood out. She cried when she told us what Chinua Achebe had said about her work. She lifted up the work of other rising African authors, saying, "It takes off the burden of representing everybody. It's a relief to have more African voices."
4. Half of a Yellow Sun was the book she felt she had to write.
"I felt that I had lost something," she said, after it was published. It was a weight off of her, but a personal one. After that she felt free to write "the book I wanted to write," which was Americanah.
5. She's a born writer. "I don't remember when I didn't write."
Though she was tracked to be a doctor, she has always written, and always wanted to be a writer.
6. She loves Philadelphia.
God, who doesn't?! What up Philly.
7. "The writing of Americanah was a political act."
She said, "I became black in America. I didn't get the memo that black was bad. There is some defiance of that in the writing of Americanah. I can write about race in America because I do not have the terror of talking about it." She went on to talk about how American culture is obsessed with comfort, and part of the reason the conversation about race that we always say we are going to have on a national level has never happened is because it would be very uncomfortable.
8. She has a crush on Michelle Obama.
"She is the coolest woman in the world! I had to write about her." She also spoke about how everyone's inflated expectations of Barack Obama as "Jesus Christ" have led him to be unpopular now because "he has not turned water into wine."
9. Her next book will be a science fiction children's book.
Psych! She joked that she'd have to kill us if she told us what her next project is, but her "vision is too dark" for children's lit.
10. She is not too high-brow-literary to dish about celebs.
She is excited about Lupita Nyong'o playing Ifemelu, and she is grateful that Beyoncé upped her "cool factor with the nieces and nephews!"
And finally… She does not care about your book club's hypothesis.
Question and Answer sections always give me a case of squeemy-stomach, because people often use them to listen to themselves talk more than ask questions of the guest of honor. Last night was no exception – though there were some great questions about identity and internet writing, we also heard from a man who wanted to tell her what her next book should be about, and another man who talked about himself as an "ideological reader" and asked her "how she would want her books to be used politically."
The absolute worst, however, was a woman who stood up and didn't even ask a question, but rather blessed us all with the conclusion that she and her book club had come to about Americanah. This woman was white, and the gall of her need to enforce her cultural norms on Adichie just floored me. She said, "We realized that Americanah follows the structure of the Odyssey exactly!" and despite the fact that everyone burst into nervous laughter, she continued to lay out how she felt the story of the book matched this old dead white guy's epic tale. She meant it as a "compliment," but why on earth did she think she needed to take this Western literature standard and apply it to a piece of contemporary literature that has been hailed as groundbreaking in both style and content? It was like she needed to remind Adichie that the standard was and will always be the "classics" of white Western culture.
Adichie laughed, looked incredulously at Dave Eggers, and then provided a very gracious joke about how of course that had been her intention from the start! She was generous. It was a kindness. The book club lady sat the hell down.
It was thrilling to be in the presence of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and her beautiful brain.

Before considering any design, whatever project you work on, you need to understand basic things about UX. And it's never too late to learn them if you missed it before. The main thing to start with is to find the way how people scan web content. That will help to improve user engagement dramatically.
Before reading people usually scan the page. They quickly move with their eyes through information, only stopping at the parts that seem important to them. An interesting thing that eye tracking studies have shown that online readers scan information in the shape of the letter "F". Did you know?
And this way was named F-Pattern. How does it work?
- The top of the "F" is formed when users start reading your headline at the top of your page. Also they might read what's beyond — the description of the article.
- Then readers move their attention back to the left side of the screen and move their eyes down the page until they come across another heading or information that catches their eye.
- The second horizontal line of "F" is formed when users spend some time reading what they've found in so-called "topic-line" (which is vertical part of "F").
Once the reader has gotten the information he wants, he will continue to scan the page, stop if there is anything else catch his eye. But in most cases, he will move to another page of your site or leave.
If your website layout and content do not match the F-pattern, the user will probably leave to a site where scanning is easier.
The benefits of F-pattern:
- It makes your design more intuitive
- You can prioritize your content and control where users spend more time
- Users get what they need faster
Advises based on F-pattern implementation:
- Put the most important elements first
- Generate engagement with your sidebar
- Use design elements and colors to highlight the F-pattern
- Make your header eye-catching
- Don't ignore the bottom of your site. Make break ups using pictures or subheadings. It will make a site more visually appealing
Taking advantage of a pattern or layout that is proven to work can ensure you get the most viewers to your site. Once the viewers are at your site, the F-pattern makes sure they are viewing the most important information first. You can decide what information is most crucial.
World's best practice:
- Place your logo on the top-left
- Place your contact phone on the top-right
- Use F-pattern for the content on your page
Use this information as a guideline to develop your website and content. Of course, there a lot of sites that use other patterns, but their success is based in most cases on the original design idea and unique techniques rather than on the pattern. And if you don't have this outstanding design idea, make sure you use F-pattern to make users stay on your site.

Dear Empaths - Episode 1
11/10/2017 09:23:22 pm
As I research, read, and listen to intuitives talk about what it means to be an empath, I find that many do not have children. I'm pretty sure I'm an empath (and an introvert), and I definitely struggle with boundaries. But it's difficult for me to listen to how to create, manage and live intentionally when I have very definite and wonderful obligations to my marriage and my family. I'm a stay at home Mom trying to start a business, and have a spouse, children, a dog, etc. I need to hear from middle income folks who do the cooking, the cleaning, the shopping, the scheduling, the kid care, the laundry, the juggling. I need to hear from other people like me. I love that you've all chosen lives of contemplation, and do think that's in the cards for me at some point, but i don't have the luxury of time & space at the moment.

Alex Verhaest – Angelo
For this art piece by Alex Verhaest she wanted to deform the face of the actor to give him a surreal, almost alien-like appearance. The head and body were taken from different shots to capture the right emotion. The left-hand image shows the original material of head and body. The right-hand image is a small part of the actual art piece which loops continuously.

This post is born out of sheer bloody frustration.
I am not sure it will be a particularly long one but it will be a bit of a rant, just so you know.
I never planned to post tonight and had over the weekend pre-blogged some posts ready for this week but I have been rudely interrupted by Mack. Remember him?
I do.
I remember him because he was soooooooo frustrating. He was the kind of guy who made you want to gouge out your own eyeballs, not because he was horrible or because he was boring but just because he was down right irritating.
He LOL'd a lot. Remember?
I picked him up on it a lot but it was more than that. He was so non-committal. He messaged, but sporadically and always after a long and bloody annoying pause. It always felt like he was maintaining contact but was never really sure why, or even if, he wanted to have a conversation. In the end, I got bored and moved on.
This was quite some time ago now. Maybe two months or so, anyway he has long since been forgotten, until yesterday, when he decided to message me out of the blue. As you do, if you're a bloke and you're at a bit of a loose end!
Do you want the whole conversation? Or just snippets? If I do the whole conversation this will go on for a while? Here is the start of it at least…
Mack: Hello Trouble, Still online then? x
Me: Yes. Well you weren't going to whisk me away from it all were you!
Mack: Well you didn't want to talk anymore, which was disappointing to be honest!! x
Me: Oh fuck off! You just Lol'd at everything and took 24 hrs to reply to a message. Mr Straight Talker, be straight at least?
Straight Talker is his username, now that does need a LOL.
Mack: Not at all. Well I may lol a lot, you picked me up on that before! Lol But you went quiet after we met so guessed you either didn't enjoy or didn't like me, or both? Lol x
Me: Stop fucking LOLing. It is so bloody irritating. LOL I messaged you the same day! You were messing about. Taking 24 hours to reply to messages, who needs that shit. You want me or you don't? Just bloody say so. It's no big deal but I'm not going to hang around waiting for you to decide.
Mack: I told you before I left I wanted to see you again! I didn't know your thoughts though, didn't want to hassle you if you weren't interested. x
Me: Oh God. You are infuriating. I don't recall you saying anything of the sort and five message over a whole weekend is hardly what you would call hassle?
Mack: Ah! See. You don't recall or don't remember? I definitely said it. Actually I think I said it twice, you just obviously didn't listen, typical woman! 😉
Oh. you think. You think I am a typical woman?
Me: Well, perhaps you should have reiterated that in one of the five messages. It is easy when you are straight and just say what you think. I am far from a typical woman. I won't take any of your nonsense for a start.
Mack: Back to being my fault then? Go on then say it as it is, what were you thinking that evening after? x
The messages get longer at this point but no less frustrating.
I am caught between my reasonable self and my completely fucking bat shit crazy self, who, not unreasonably, I don't think, wants to punch him in the face for being a complete bloody idiot.
I won't bore you with the rest of the messages but suffice to say we were at stalemate, with him suggesting that I ignored his last messages, which in fairness I did because they didn't really say anything. All over that whole weekend he didn't really say anything about anything. He was being cagey and not committing to a thing.
I know, that is just how guys are because they can't possibly be honest and straight and just say : actually I like you. In case we say, well, actually I don't like you. I mean heaven forbid.
Do you know the funniest thing, is that men say women are complicated. I am not complicated. I am about as far from complicated as anyone could be. I just wanted a no strings attached bloke, to date and have sex with, he would have been perfect for that had we have had any further dates and got on. He is single and about 40, if I remember correctly, never been married and no kids. What was the problem?
The problem it is safe to say, is that someone else took his fancy and that is fine but at least have the bloody balls to say so!
He is obviously a commitment phobe and so am I to some extent but I don't want him to move in, I just want to have a good time with someone whose company I enjoy for however long that lasts but he didn't give me the chance to say any of that.
We both ended up agreeing that the actual date itself could have gone better and there was a lot of pressure on both sides to go through with the 'pre planned naughty sex scene'. I still maintain that he was more nervous than he thought he would be and afterwards it was awkward, despite us not actually having full sex. It could have gone better and I think we were both a bit unsure as to whether we would be able to meet again but you have to talk or not talk, you can not just be half-hearted about it.
If you think it will be too awkward then leave it, if you think you would quite like to do it again then say, don't just leave it somewhere in limbo land while you pluck up the courage to admit that maybe it could have gone better.
Just say, actually shall we try that again but with no pressure? Just bloody get it out there man! However, he chose limbo land.
So, sorry Mack but you snooze you lose.
PS. Apologies if this is badly written, spelt and incoherent. I blame my inner rage.

Hales withdrawn from WC SquadComplete overreaction from the ECB as usual - nothing ever changes there You would assume his place would go to one of Foakes/Vince/Denly - i'd go for Vince
The fact he's been caught taking drugs for the SECOND time and after the Bristol incident tells me there's only one person to blame here and that's him. Complete and utter stupidity and deserves everything he gets.
So Durham have lost out on the final qualifying spot by virtue of having two games washed out to Lancs none. For some reason the ECB have changed the rule this year so it goes off games won instead of net run rate.Lancs won 5 of 8 with 0.344 net r/rDurham won 4 of 6 with 0.472 net r/rLancs go through. Absolutely ludicrous.
If it went on the head to head that would be fair(er) but purely games won is madness
This Eng attack really is powder puff - they need to include both Archer and Curran in place of Willey and PlunkettI'll give Woakes a few weeks - looks undercooked
Archer makes the squad along with Wood.Dawson also gets in, Denly and Willey miss out. Think I would have liked to have Willey's left arm swing although he can be very wayward at times.
Absolute right squad, never been impressed with Willey.

MS Terramar Nile Cruise
MS Terramar Nile Cruise
Additional Information: The order of the itineraries maybe amended as a result of low water levels, adverse weather conditions, lock closure or other unforeseen circumstances. Moorings at night are usually alongside other cruise vessels which may affect views from your cabin and sightseeing, when possible is organised to avoid the heat of the midday sun. When mooring sometimes diesel fumes can be evident.
You will be escorted by an English speaking Egyptologist at all times during the tours and excursions. All river cruises itinerary can be amended in sequence due to navigational circumstances but the above points of visit will not change.
General Facilities: -
The ship is very spacious and has a large luxurious lounge bar plus a large restaurant which will seat all guests in one sitting.
There is a reception area with a gift shop and boutique.
The ship has a Health Club with sauna, Jacuzzi and gymnasium and for those not quite so energetic there is a billiard area .

Description: The Terramar is one of the, if not the, most luxurious and comfortable cruise liner on the River Nile. Its dimensions are the same as the larger cruise ships on the Nile but with a view to exclusivity the ship has only a third of the number of cabins in the form of suites that you would find in another Nile Cruise ship of this size.
The cruise offers privacy, plenty of breathing space and the comfort and luxury you would expect from a ship of this size with just 20 suites on board.
There are 60 service orientated staff to look after the 40 guests cruising which is a ratio you will not find on any other ship on the Nile.
The 20 spacious suites are: -
2 Royal Panoramic Suites of 40 sq.meters
4 Pharaonic Suites of 33 sq.meters
8 Rustic Suites of 30 sq.meters
6 Presidential Suites of 33 sq.meters
All the suites are equipped with internal telephones, colour TV with two video channels, individually controlled air-conditioning, bathroom with bathtubs, hairdryers, mini-bar and panoramic windows looking out onto the Nile.
Note: When joining a Nile cruise you are joining a cruise with an international client mix as the cruise will be accepting clients of many nationalities.
Entry Requirements: On entry into Egypt, you must obtain a visitors visa at the port of entry, the fee is £15 (subject to change). Sharm El Sheikh is considered a free zone, due to being located in the Sinai Peninsula. Travel on excursions outside the peninsula, the visitor's visa is a requirement.
note: For travel to most countries, a British passport must remain valid for at least 6 months after your scheduled return to the UK.
