Google's New Rules for Publishing Job Postings
Google has updated its guidelines for publishing job openings that have been marked up with job posting structured data. Failure to adhere to these guidelines could result in a manual action.
Here is an overview of the new guidelines site owners will need to comply with when using job posting structured data.
Site owners will be required to remove a job posting when it is no longer available. This could involve either removing the entire posting, adding a noindex tag, or removing the job posting structured data.
Job posting structured data must only be used on individual job postings. It cannot be used on pages that display lists of all available job openings.
All information included in the job posting structured data must also be visible to users on the job description page.
Google emphasizes that these guidelines are being put in place to ensure an optimal job seeking experience for Google Search users.

How to tell if you have fake Twitter followers (and how to remove them)
Social networks have expanded popularity contests beyond the schoolyard, where users vie to become the next Instagram celebrity or at least have enough followers to be considered an "influencer."
But, unlike the schoolyard, anyone can buy popularity on social networks. Richard Roeper, the film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times, was suspended on Tuesday for buying 25,000 followers after a New York Times investigation revealed the practice was widespread.
The New York Times claimed that Roeper and others such as actor John Leguizamo, motivational speaker Eric Kaplan and British baking star Paul Hollywood purchased followers from a website called Devumi, which charges a mere $50 for 5,000 followers.
Buying followers or paying for any type of interaction is against Twitter's terms of service and may result in suspension. If a company buys more users to make itself seem more popular than it actually is, or a journalist buys them to meet a standard of followers that an employer has set, it's also, as the Times noted, potentially fraud.
Spotting fake Twitter uses is generally fairly easy, though fakers have gotten better at it over time.
Tools like TwitterAudit can automatically scan your followers, revealing the number of fake followers (for free) and allowing you to delete and block them (for $5 a month). Use Luca Hammer's Account Analysis tool to look at accounts individually. Consistent daily rhythms and constant retweeting of spammy handles or accounts are a good sign the user is a bot.
The quickest way to manually spot obvious fakers is to look at their profiles. Many advertise spammy links or use excessive hashtags. To look over many at once, click "followers" below your own profile image. Stop users from following you by clicking the three vertical dots above and to the right of their usernames, then click "block."
Another quick way is to look for offset followers-to-following ratios, particularly if the following count is maxed out around 5,000. Twitter puts a limit on the number of accounts a user can follow until he or she has more followers. A user who has 171 followers and who is following 5,001 people is usually fake.
It's easier to do this with a third-party tool, as Twitter doesn't list these counts on users' following pages. StatusBrew is free, lists these numbers, and allows sorting based on followers and following.
If the ratio is unclear, look at the user's followers. Many of them may be obviously fake, as well. Just note that many Twitter users, especially large accounts, attract "fake" followers on their own.
To really sniff out fakers, try right-clicking their profile images on Chrome and searching the web for their images. The Times reported that some of Devumi's accounts appeared to be close approximations of actual people. The real accounts will often appear when you search for their images.
Why do fake followers even matter? With hundreds of millions of monthly active users, including the president of the United States and other important heads of state, Twitter has truly morphed from a microblogging platform into a method of communication that's as accepted as a telephone. A user who inflates his or her follower count can leverage outsize impact on the outside world.
As the Times notes, they can "help sway advertising audiences and reshape political debates. They can defraud businesses and ruin reputations."

How to prevent your social media accounts from oversharing
Your social media accounts help you share your daily life with friends. But the mobile apps can go further than that, automatically alerting everyone when you become available online, read a message, or even visit a nearby location.
If you don't want your nearest and dearest to know what you're up to every minute of every day, as a general rule, try posting less frequently. Your photos, check-ins, and text updates can convey more information than you intend. Beyond that, here's how to tweak certain key settings on your apps to leave a smaller digital footprint.
Disable activity status
Many social apps will show your friends a notification when you're active, and even when you're offline, they can display the last time you visited. If you'd rather not broadcast your presence, many social networks will let you turn off this display.
In WhatsApp for Android, head to the main app menu by tapping the three dots on the top right, then choose Settings. If you're on an iOS device, you can access Settings straight from a tab on the bottom of the screen. Either way, your next step is to select Privacy. From this screen, tap Last seen and then Nobody to prevent anyone from knowing the last time you accessed WhatsApp.
Instagram also recently added an indicator of when you were last active. To turn this off, tap the Profile tab (a portrait silhouette) and then hit the menu button (on Android, it looks like three dots, and on iOS, it's a cog icon) on the top right. Finally, turn off Show activity status. As on WhatsApp, this hides your own activity but also prevents you from seeing when anyone else was last active.
Similarly, you can hide your active status in Facebook Messenger too, but it stops you viewing who else is currently online. Hit the People icon (the two portrait shapes) at the bottom of the screen, then tap Active, and turn the slider next to your own name to off. All your messages will still come through, but no one else will know when you're actually active in the app.
Turn off read receipts
When you're trying to preserve your privacy, one-on-one messaging options let you stay off the social media radar while still keeping in touch with people. So next time you're ready to post an update, consider pinging a few friends in a group chat on, say, WhatsApp, rather than broadcasting your activities to everyone you know. To preserve even more of your privacy, first turn off read receipts, those notifications that let your friends know when you've read their messages.
In WhatsApp for Android, for example, you can head to the main app menu (tap the three dots to the top right) then choose Settings, then Privacy, and untick the Read receipts box. It's the same on iOS, but you can access Settings straight from the bottom tab bar. With that done, no one will know when you've picked up your messages, but you won't know when your friends have seen theirs, either. On the same screen, you can tap Last seen and then Nobody to stop anyone from knowing when you were last active inside WhatsApp. Again, this setting blocks you from knowing the same about any of your contacts, so you can't have it both ways.
Twitter also lets you disable read receipts in your direct messages, so contacts won't know whether you've read their notes yet. Tap your avatar icon on the top left, pick Settings and privacy, go to Privacy and safety, and untick the Show read receipts button. The usual deal is in place here as well—once you untick that box, you won't be able to see when other people have picked up their direct messages either.
In the Facebook Messenger and Snapchat apps, you can't turn off read receipts. Still, sticking to individual chats in apps like these will preserve your lurker status better than posting on public social media networks.
Stay off the map
Social media apps can use your current location to feed you relevant ads and alert you about nearby events. But they can also broadcast your whereabouts—a feature you might want to turn off.
On Snapchat, for example, tap the ghost or Bitmoji icon on the top left. Then hit the cog icon on the top right, pick See my location, and make sure Ghost Mode is switched on. This mode prevents others from seeing where you are.
Facebook also shares your location with your friends. To disable this feature, tap the menu button (three horizontal lines) on the right-hand side of the screen. On Android, your next step is to pick Account Settings; on iOS, choose Settings, followed by Account Settings. Either way, follow up by tapping Location, selecting Nearby Friends, and setting the main toggle switch to off. This will prevent your friends from looking up your current location or getting alerts when you're in the area.
These networks can also attach your location to your status updates. On the bright side, Facebook and Twitter make it easy to avoid oversharing: They will only reveal your location if you specifically tap the location-tagging button while composing your post. Still, it's worth double-checking your message before you post, to make sure you're not accidentally revealing too much
Limit the audience
To use social media networks without broadcasting your presence, we've discussed sending direct messages to a few contacts rather than posting updates for all of them to see. In addition to that method, Facebook lets you limit the audience for your updates on a post-by-post basis.
Whenever you're composing an update, tap the audience selector button just under your name—it will probably say Friends, but it might have another label, depending on the default audience for your posts. Once you tap it, you can limit who will be able to see this update: Simply select More followed by Specific friends. This lets you hide your update from most people on Facebook while still adding to the News Feed of a few select contacts.
No other social media app gives you the same level of control. However, Twitter and Instagram do let you choose between posting public messages and limiting your audience to only your confirmed followers. Boosting your privacy in this way does mean that you'll have to specifically approve any new followers before they can see your posts, but it won't affect your list of current followers.
On Twitter, you can switch to a protected account by tapping your avatar on the top left, then choosing Settings and privacy, Privacy and Safety, and Protect your Tweets.
To do the same on Instagram, tap the Profile icon (the single portrait silhouette) followed by the menu button (on Android, it's three dots; on Instagram, it's a cog icon) on the top right of the screen. Then turn on the Private Account option.

Millions of Fortune 500 email credentials found on the dark web
About 10 percent of the email credentials of all those employed at Fortune 500 companies have been leaked on the dark web, according to a new study.
The VeriClouds report, which included data from a three-year period, that looked at 27 million Fortune 500 staffers and found about 2.7 million credentials among the eight billion stolen credentials found on the dark web. If that is not bad enough VeriClouds found that the stolen data was found in multiple locations thus increasing the possibility it is bought and used by malicious actors. The good news is the number represents a 7.5 percent decline from 2016.
"We see that on average each leaked Fortune 500 email address, associated with an online account, is found at 2.3 leaked data sources. Furthermore, the availability of credentials data increases when many bad actors repackage or combine older breach data and resell it," the report stated.
The availability of these passwords opens a corporation up to any number of potential cyberattacks, including spearphishing, credential stuffing, and account takeover attacks, which can lead to bad guys having direct access to personnel or corporate networks.
Workers in the telecom, industrial and energy sectors saw the highest percentage of stolen credentials with 23 percent, 18 percent and 17 percent, respectively, leaked. The financial, technology and healthcare fields had more records on the Dark Web, but this is primarily due to the fact that those industries have more employees overall.
In many cases the Fortune 500 firm is not directly to blame for the data loss because their employees used their corporate email address, and possibly the same sign-on credentials, to create an account at a third-party website. If this entity suffers were to suffer a breach and the person has used the same login then the Fortune 500 company could be vulnerable.
Compounding the problem is a large number of weak passwords associated with their accounts.
"Computers, Office Equipment industry has the largest percentage of weak, compromised passwords with 25 percent, followed by Transportation Equipment and Telecommunications industries with 17.6 percent and 12.9 percent, respectively," the report said.
When it comes to shear volume commercial banks have the highest number of weak or compromised passwords with 109,000; telecom is next with just over 100,000; and the computer, office equipment sector is third with 73,000.

How academic researchers are opening online access and ousting profiteers
The academic world is supposed to be a bright-lit landscape of independent research pushing back the frontiers of knowledge to benefit humanity.
Years of fingernail-flicking test tubes have paid off by finding the elixir of life. Now comes the hard stuff: telling the world through a respected international journal staffed by sceptics.
After drafting and deleting, adding and revising, the precious discovery has to undergo the ritual of peer-reviews. Only then may your wisdom arouse gasps of envy and nods of respect in the world's labs and lecture theatres.
The goal is to score hits on the international SCOPUS database (69 million records, 36,000 titles – and rising as you read) of peer-reviewed journals. If the paper is much cited, the author's CV and job prospects should glow.
SCOPUS is run by Dutch publisher Elsevier for profit.
It's a tough track up the academic mountain; surely there are easier paths paved by publishers keen to help?
Indeed – but beware. The 148-year old British multidisciplinary weekly Nature calls them "predatory journals" luring naive young graduates desperate for recognition.
'Careful checking'
"These journals say: 'Give us your money and we'll publish your paper'," says Professor David Robie of New Zealand's Auckland University of Technology. "They've eroded the trust and credibility of the established journals. Although easily picked by careful checking, new academics should still be wary."
Shams have been exposed by getting journals to print gobbledygook papers by fictitious authors. One famous sting reported by Nature had a Dr. Anna O Szust being offered journal space if she paid. "Oszust" is Polish for "a fraud".
Dr Robie heads AUT's Pacific Media Centre, which publishes the Pacific Journalism Review, now in its 23rd year. During November he was at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) in Yogyakarta, Central Java, helping his Indonesian colleagues boost their skills and lift their university's reputation.
The quality of Indonesian learning at all levels is embarrassingly poor for a nation of 260 million spending 20 percent of its budget on education.
The international ranking systems are a dog's breakfast, but only UGM, the University of Indonesia and the Bandung Institute of Technology just make the tail end of the Times Higher Education world's top 1000.
There are around 3500 "universities" in Indonesia; most are private. UGM is public.
UGM has been trying to better itself by sending staff to Auckland, New Zealand, and Munich, Germany, to look at vocational education and master new teaching strategies.
Dr. Robie was invited to Yogyakarta through the World Class Professor (WCP) programme, an Indonesian government initiative to raise standards by learning from the best.
Dr. Robie lectured on "developing investigative journalism in the post-truth era," researching marine disasters and climate change. He also ran workshops on managing international journals.
During a break at UGM, he told Strategic Review that open access – meaning no charges made to authors and readers – was a tool to break the user-pays model.
AUT is one of several universities to start bucking the international trend to corral knowledge and muster millions. The big publishers reportedly make up to 40 percent profit – much of it from library subscriptions.
Pacific Journalism Review's Dr. David Robie being presented with a model of Universitas Gadjah Mada's historic main building for the Pacific Media Centre at the editor's workshop in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
According to a report by AUT digital librarians Luqman Hayes and Shari Hearne, there are now more than 100,000 scholarly journals in the world put out by 3000 publishers; the number is rocketing so fast library budgets have been swept away in the slipstream.
In 2016, Hayes and his colleagues established Tuwhera (Māori for "be open") to help graduates and academics liberate their work by hosting accredited and refereed journals at no cost.
The service includes training on editing, presentation and creating websites, which look modern and appealing. Tuwhera is now being offered to UGM – but Indonesian universities have to lift their game.
Language an issue
The issue is language and it's a problem, according to Dr. Vissia Ita Yulianto, researcher at UGM's Southeast Asian Social Studies Centre (CESASS) and a co-editor of IKAT research journal. Educated in Germany she has been working with Dr. Robie to develop journals and ensure they are top quality.
"We have very intelligent scholars in Indonesia but they may not be able to always meet the presentation levels required," she said.
"In the future, I hope we'll be able to publish in Indonesian; I wish it wasn't so, but right now we ask for papers in English."
Bahasa Indonesia, originally trade Malay, is the official language. It was introduced to unify the archipelagic nation with more than 300 indigenous tongues. Outside Indonesia and Malaysia it is rarely heard.
English is widely taught, although not always well. Adrian Vickers, professor of Southeast Asian Studies at Sydney University, has written that "the low standard of English remains one of the biggest barriers against Indonesia being internationally competitive.
"… in academia, few lecturers, let alone students, can communicate effectively in English, meaning that writing of books and journal articles for international audiences is almost impossible."
Though the commercial publishers still dominate there are now almost 10,000 open-access peer-reviewed journals on the internet.
"Tuwhera has enhanced global access to specialist research in ways that could not previously have happened," says Dr Robie. "We can also learn much from Indonesia and one of the best ways is through exchange programmes."

Google Photos can now recognize your pets
One of Google Photos' best features is face recognition for easier grouping, search, and sharing with friends and family. Google is now extending that detection and adding naming support for your cats and dogs.
The picture backup and management service has long been able to recognize animals in general and surface them in search results. However, users would not be able to easily find pictures of just their pet and have to rely on general lookup terms like "dog" or "cat."
That is changing today, with Google Photos now recognizing specific dogs or cats as long as there is a clear shot of their face. Users are able to label them by name and in turn have them treated as people when looking for pictures.
It appears that there is a new combined "People & Pets" section where animals show up. From there, tapping through to those images should feature the ability to "Add a name."
Other pet-centric features already available in Google Photos include the ability to search by specific cat or dog breed. Additionally, users can search for animals with emoji.
Today's new features complement Photos' existing ability to make movies from images of your pets. Since May, some users have been greeted by clips of their pets, but users can also manually make movies by heading to Assistant. Here, they have control over images and the background soundtrack.
The pet recognition and tagging feature is rolling out in most countries starting today.

Here's a list of great stuff you missed in 2017 because you're in a bad-news bubble
We're all worried that instead of improving the world by making information more accessible, the internet has done the opposite by creating echo chambers that further entrench our prejudices.
Most of the discussion in this area tends to revolve around political views. Thanks to the decline of traditional media and the proliferation of new online media outlets, people are less exposed to ideas that contradict their beliefs.
However there's a bigger, far more damaging filter bubble out there. And because its existence is at the commercial core of the modern-day media machine, almost nobody is willing to admit its existence.
Welcome to the bad-news bubble
Forget fake news. Our real problem is balance. Respectable news outlets say they're giving us an objective view of the world, yet drown us in a daily deluge of conflict and negative headlines: nuclear sabre rattling in North Korea, South Sea games of chicken with China, chemical attacks on children in Syria, the mother of all bombs in Afghanistan. And then there's the runaway temperatures in the Arctic, economic collapse in Venezuela, authoritarianism in Turkey, the slow-motion disaster of Brexit in the UK, and, of course, the never-ending headlines from Washington overshadowing it all. It's manufactured drama, and we can't tear our eyes away.
All this bad news is great for business. According to a report released by Neilsen in April, news consumption across all media in the US, including cable TV, radio, traditional broadcast TV, and smartphones, has risen by 18% in the last year. Other English-speaking countries like Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom will have experienced similar increases.
There's no incentive to report good news in the modern-day attention economy, because it doesn't get traction. Sure, democracy dies in darkness. But you know what else dies in darkness? Optimism.
Sure, democracy dies in darkness. But you know what else dies in darkness?
Optimism.Every headline, every news report, every viral video tells us that things are falling apart. No wonder we're all in despair. Starving children, angry analysts, and dying polar bears make for easy availability heuristics: We tend to judge the frequency and probability of something happening based on how easily we can bring it to mind, and these things are memorable and iconic. And every time we discuss the lying politicians at a dinner party or see someone complaining about them on Facebook, we retrieve those memories and make them even stickier.
Bad news is the only news because it's an addictive product. That's why it's everywhere. It doesn't matter that we're living in the wealthiest, healthiest, most peaceful, and most democratic time in human history. It doesn't matter that poverty is decreasing, that fewer people are dying from war, or that more mothers survive childbirth. It doesn't matter that human rights are improving or that more kids are learning to read and write than ever before. These stories are invisible because they don't shock us or make us angry. And that means they don't sell.
It's not clear whether more visibility would make a difference, either. Thanks to something known as the kickback effect, evidence that contradicts our worldview only further entrenches it. It makes us feel good to stick to our guns, and we're great at rationalization. Research shows that we experience a genuine rush of dopamine when processing information that supports our beliefs. That means that no amount of statistical evidence will convince progressives that they're not morally superior, conservatives that immigration is good for the economy, or environmentalists that GMOs are safe. Similarly, evidence cannot compete with most people's belief that poverty is rampant and that war and terrorism have never been worse.
So how do we break out of the bad-news bubble? Read more good news—there's plenty out there!
To start, here's some from the past week that you probably didn't here about:
The World Health Organization (WHO) just announced that Mexico has become the first country in the Americas to eliminate trachoma, an eye disease that affects young children.
Solar power recently broke through the 50% mark for electricity in California. They used to say it could only ever provide a fraction. Now they say it can never be 100%.
Canadian coal production has dropped to a 30-year low, and is expected to see further decline as the country moves to phase out coal-fired power plants by 2030.
Thanks to a new government initiative, the number of Indians with access to proper sanitation has increased from 42% of the population in 2014 to 63% today.
The number of executions recorded worldwide has fallen by 37% since 2015. The decline was largely driven by fewer deaths recorded in Iran and Pakistan.
A doctor in Virginia has found a cheap, effective cure for sepsis, one of the planet's deadliest diseases and major problem in hospitals around the world.
For the first time since the Industrial Revolution, Great Britain has gone an entire day without using electricity produced from coal.
India's Ministry of Sanitation has just issued a nationwide guideline allowing transgender people to use any public toilet of their choice. INDIA 1. NORTH CAROLINA 0.
Japan has officially recognized a same-sex couple as foster parents, marking a first for the country and signaling a growing recognition of LGBTQ rights in Japan.
A five-month-old whistle-blowing policy in Nigeria has already helped recover more than $200 million from corrupt businessmen and politicians.
Taiwan has become the first Asian country to ban the eating of cats and dogs, with new laws imposing fines for consumption and jail time for killing and cruelty.

Scientists think they found proof of a parallel universe
Composite; NASA
Scientists believe they may have discovered evidence of a parallel universe that crashed into our own in a galactic impact mirroring a car crash.
Since 2004, when it was first spotted by NASA, scientists have been baffled by the discovery an unusually cold region of space which is 1.8 billion light years across and colder than its surroundings.
It was thought the region might have been a trick of light or it was colder because it had 10,000 less galaxies than other areas of the same size.
Now a new study has stumbled upon an incredible possibility, that the 'Cold Spot' cannot be explained as a void and was not due to "line-of-sight" effects.
Instead, researchers at Durham University believe it could be the first evidence of the "multiverse."
They believe a parallel universe could have smashed into ours affecting it in a way similar to a multiple vehicle pileup.
That impact was so incredible, according to this research, that it pushed energy out of a huge region of space resulting in the Cold Spot.
"Perhaps the most exciting explanation is that the Cold Spot was caused by a collision between our universe and another bubble universe, believe it or not," said Professor Tom Shanks, an astronomer at Durham University and a co-author of the study.
"If further, more detailed, analysis proves this to be the case then the Cold Spot might be taken as the first evidence for the multiverse."
"I remember some scientists suggesting that there could be detectable effects on the galaxy distribution after this 'cosmic shunt' of two universes colliding.
"Basically colliding universes could leave a slightly anisotropic galaxy distribution in our own universe — a bit like a pileup on the motorway.
"So we can look for this to test how seriously to take these ideas."
According to The Guardian, "each universe carries its own different version of reality."
"There will be one where you wrote this column and I read it, even a really weird one in which Donald Trump uses Twitter to spread nothing but amusing cat videos," Stuart Clark wrote in the publication.
The Cold Spot occurred at the formation of the universe more than 13 billion years ago.

10 best productivity apps for Android
The reason smartphones exist is so we can be more productive. They're like tiny super computers that we keep in our pocket. They connect to the web, let us do work, and we always have them on us. That makes them prime candidates to help us all be a little more productive. There are a ton of options for apps that can help you be more productive in your life. Let's take a look at the best productivity apps for Android!
HERE ARE SOME MORE EXCELLENT PRODUCTIVITY APPS!
Price: Free / $34.99-$69.99 per year
Evernote is one of the hall of fame productivity apps that virtually everyone knows about. It has a ton of features, including syncing between devices, cross-platform support, offline support, and you can take virtually any kind of note imaginable (list, voice, video, text, image). You can also collaborate with other people. It's as easy as sharing your note. Its free option is a bit lackluster. However, there are two pro subscriptions to choose from that add more features.
The Google Drive suite of productivity apps. They're all fantastic. First, you'll have Google Drive, a cloud storage app with support for literally all file types. On top of that, you have Google Keep, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. These let you take notes and do office oriented work. Finally, you have Google Photos where you can easily store and view photos and videos you've taken with your smartphone. Combined, these apps cover virtually any need regarding file sharing, file storage, office apps, note taking apps, and even photo storage. Businesses are going to the cloud every day and now you can too with relative ease. You can purchase additional Google Drive space if you need it.
IF by IFTTT is one of the more interesting productivity apps available on Android. The app allows you to make recipes that tell various apps to do various things at various times. It essentially takes almost any task and makes your phone do it autonomously. This is a must-have for those who use things like smart lights and other IoT devices. Additionally, you can do quick things like auto-save your Instagram photos to Dropbox. It's powerful, but there is a learning curve. You can find a variety of pre-made recipes with a few simple Google Searches.
LastPass Password Manager
Price: Free / $12 per year
LastPass isn't just one of the best productivity apps, but also one of the best security apps. It stores your login credentials for various sites. You then use it to log in. With it, you can come up with more complex passwords, log in faster, and you don't have to remember your password to every site you use. That takes out a lot of the pain when it comes to doing stuff like that. There is also a LastPass Authenticator app that adds an additional level of security. The free version of the app covers most bases, but you'll need the $12 per year subscription to get all of the features.
Microsoft Apps
Price: Free / Some require a subscription
Microsoft Apps shows you all the apps that Microsoft has on the Play Store. Included is a variety of apps that can boost your productivity, including OneDrive, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Cortana, OneNote, Outlook, and many others. Much like Google Drive, this is a suite of apps that all work together to bring you one cohesive experience. There are also apps like Microsoft Remote Desktop that let you dial into your Windows PCs from your Android phone. There are a ton of apps here and they all have Windows support as well. It's a good way to merge mobile and desktop experiences for those that rock Windows.
Newton Mail
Price: Free / $49.99 per year
Newton Mail is one of the most powerful email apps out there. It supports almost every email provider. Additionally, it has a host of plugins for apps like Evernote, Trello, Todoist, Pocket, Zendesk, and others. That allows you to seamlessly integrate one into the other for faster work. The interface is simple and easy to use. There is also syncing support that makes switching devices easier. You can get a basic set of features for free. However, you'll need to fork out $49.99 per year to get the full experience.
Price: Free / $4.99 per month / $39.99 per year
Pushbullet is one of the classic productivity apps. It helps bridge the gap between your phone and your computer. You can do things like respond to text messages, send files, and even set up channels to get notifications about specific things. It should work on Mac, Windows, and even Linux. That makes it a good solution for just about anybody. The free version gives you a taste of the features. That way you can test them out. You'll have to go pro to get unlimited amounts of everything.
Slack is easily the best business chat app currently available. It supports text and voice chats. There is also integration for Google Drive, Asana, and other productivity apps. You also get support for Giphy in case you want to goof around a bit. You can make a virtually unlimited number of channels. That way teams can break off and talk about their projects individually. It's powerful, it's easy, and unless we missed something, it's totally free too. All businesses should use this.
Trello bills itself as a virtual sidekick. The idea is to help you stay organized at work and at home. It does this by being a pretty darn good task manager. You can create what are called Boards to help keep your various projects organized and each board allows you to work on one task at a time. The app allows for collaboration with coworkers and friends which makes it great for a work or family environment. It also comes with Google Drive, Dropbox, and Android Wear support. It's entirely free to use forever. That makes it one of the great productivity apps on a budget.
Wunderlist is probably the best current to-do list app. It employs a simple interface that helps you get things done. You can create to-do lists, individual tasks, and other things. You can even use it for grocery shopping. Just make every item a new task in a sub-folder called Groceries. It's high customization makes it easy to use for a variety of different things.

The Burns, Ore., District Bureau of Land Management has put out a memorandum about its population management plan for the Warm Springs Herd Management Area: "The research project is proposed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and Colorado State University (CSU) in cooperation with the Burns District Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The Burns District BLM proposes to allow the USGS and CSU to evaluate the safety, complication rate, and feasibility of ovariectomy via colpotomy on wild horse mares and the impacts to mare and band behavior once returned to the range as compared with an untreated herd."
The American Wild Horse Campaign wrote: "The weight of scientific evidence and public opinion clearly supports a BLM decision NOT to proceed with these sterilization procedures.
"The 'ovariectomy via colpotomy' procedure is dangerous, costly and impractical for use in the field, due to the serious health risks they pose to the horses and their unborn foals, and also due to the great expense of purchasing the equipment and training the number of veterinarians necessary to implement these procedures on the range."
The WindDancer Foundation feels that the CSU vet college will tarnish its reputation with this proposed sterilization surgery. My personal veterinarian, both a graduate of CSU and a licensed MD, denounced this procedure as being reckless, an unprofessional ethics violation and cruel to these wild horses.
Please stand with the WindDancer Foundation to denounce this project. Call on the hospital director of the CSU vet school to pull its participation from this project, and call the USGS office in Fort Collins and the Burns, Ore., BLM office to condemn this sterilization procedure.


Ants outnumber humans something like 140,000 to 1 so if you have a family of 4 there's… let's see… a whole lotta ants in your yard. And that's where you want to keep them, in your yard.
Ants are not just numerous, they're also tenacious. If a single ant scout finds its way into your kitchen, it's going to leave a scent trail directly back to the colony which countless other ants will follow. You can kill the trail of ants on the counter, but that won't balance the invasion equation. You have to regularly wipe down all surfaces on tables and countertops with a mild bleach or vinegar solution to clear away the scent trails. Food should be in air-tight containers and crumbs need to be regularly removed from under stoves, toasters, and around baseboards.
To keep ants out of your house and out of your life caulk is your best friend. Seal cracks around doors, windows, pipes, utility lines, and any other tiny entry point into your abode. This work is doubly beneficial since it will also help keep out roaches and spiders, along with drafts and cold air.
Once your house is fortified, it's time to do some outdoor ant removal. Ants live in compost and wood piles, trash bins, and rotting leaf piles. Relocate these ant hidey holes as far from your foundation as possible.
Now that your main ant prevention efforts over, it's time to plan ahead. Buy some ant baits and place them around the house where the critters might be found. The persistent ants that foil your best efforts will eat the bait and take some back to the colony to kill the queen. In the long run you will outnumber the ants in your house 1 to none. And with those kinds of odds you won't have to worry about ants in your pants, or anywhere else.

Bitcoin: The Dilemma of "The More the Merrier"
Ansh Raj, Rishabh Airi, and Shakir Othaman

From stock market rallies to growing talks of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBCD's), digital currencies like bitcoin continue to draw interests from financial professionals, economists and regulators alike. Amidst this, its role in the expanding world of green investment also makes way for novel research ideas. In this article, we will inspect Bitcoin from the lens of ESG and regulations, while also exploring the pricing of the asset and its demand and supply.
"I would like to get rid of the Federal Reserve too! I would like to have the money controlled by a computer."
Elon Musk is a champion of two things- clean energy and finance market disruptions. That Bitcoin, the market's most hotly contested asset today, had its value jump by 20% after the billionaire changed his Twitter bio to "#bitcoin" bears testimony to his frenzy-rousing abilities. Musk's electric vehicle and "clean energy" company Tesla also invested $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency; the investment has been subject to its dramatic profit and loss-making fluctuations. The focus here, however, is on the significant departure that Musk makes from his commitment to carbon emission reduction with his investment and overall faith in Bitcoin. For beyond the realms of disruptive investment patterns, bitcoin is also responsible for heavy damages to the environment. Bitcoin's dynamic with social and corporate governance - the other two determinants of investment sustainability and societal impact - is less easily identifiable. But a deeper analysis into these fields as well brings out mixed results at best and a low-rated judgement at worst.
Will an ESG-based verdict bear any significance for investors interested in Bitcoin? Literature continues to pour over the cryptocurrency's even more cryptic performance, because of which it is. ESGs may have grown in importance over the recent years, with impetuses from ambitious announcements of firms like BlackRock - but their ability to offset the sheer mania surrounding Bitcoin appears tenuous.
WHY BITCOIN CONSUMES SO MUCH ENERGY?
Bitcoin's digital nature may lead one to believe in its clean energy motives. Like most other cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin is also founded on the notion of an immutable ledger known as the blockchain, consisting of transfers of values from one party to another. Bitcoin's transactions are validated by a process called mining, which is done by solving complex mathematical equations on supercomputers. On average, every ten minutes a server finds an acceptable solution and the miner gets a reward from the bitcoin system. This incentivization feature in Bitcoin's model that promises the miners of being rewarded in some bitcoin if they manage to solve the complex hashing algorithm is called the proof-of-work mechanism. (The Economist, 2018). Therefore, "the more successful bitcoin gets, the higher the price goes; the higher the price goes, the more competition for bitcoin; and thus the more energy is expended to mine." (CNBC, 2021).

This by nature is an energy-intensive initiative, with the gravity of their carbon footprint being left unnoticed, leading to some concern within the sector of the imminent need for broad international regulation in a bid to stall such exponential growth in energy usage. According to Digiconomist's Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index, Bitcoin's annual consumption is estimated at around 77.8 terawatt-hours, up from 9.6 terawatt-hours in 2017 along with producing 36.95 megatons annually, thereby having a carbon footprint comparable to that of New Zealand. An alternate index, compiled by the Cambridge Center for Alternative Finances, estimates a much larger figure of 108.4 terawatt-hours— more than the entire annual energy consumption of the Netherlands. (Bloomberg, 2021).

ESG AND BITCOIN: IMPACT INVESTMENT AND ESG REGULATIONS
As one of the fastest-growing asset classes, ESG investments are expected to reach a total of $35 trillion by 2025, almost half of all investor portfolios. This is partially resultant of investors recognizing ESG-friendly assets as an effective hedge against volatility and downside risk. This newfound interest in ESG investments is good for society at large considering that the world is facing a widening socioeconomic gap and unemployment, especially due to the pandemic. Under these circumstances, impact investment has the ability to play a prominent role in mitigating these challenges and play a vital role in shaping the recovery and future of the global economy. (Coindesk, 2021).
As a result, this surge in the popularity of impact investments and ESG-friendly funds has provided the cryptocurrency community with an opportunity to capture this momentum through the usage of tokenization technology by leveraging the investor appetite for these asset classes, thereby increasing the probability of accelerating the maturation of the digital assets sector, along with the acceptance of asset-backed tokens and other digital assets in more traditional financial circles.
Apart from benefitting the ESG community, tokenization technology also has the ability to serve the purpose of bringing real, off-chain, substantive value to the digital assets market in the form of tokenized sustainable infrastructure, thereby becoming extremely appealing to traditional finance and serving as a vehicle for greater crypto adoption and digital assets' acceptance in institutional and political circles. (Coindesk, 2021).
On the other hand, for the blockchains to develop an impactful ESG framework and demonstrate sustainable governance, a system is required to neutralize the carbon footprint generated by such significant energy consumption. The carbon credit market designed to tackle carbon emissions is presently geared towards nations, large industry players and institutional purchasers. (NASDAQ, 2018). For instance, most mining pools are situated in China, comprising a majority of the Bitcoin market, where the major fuel used by these networks is from coal-fired power plants, resulting in an extensive carbon footprint for each transaction. According to the University of Cambridge's Centre for Alternative Finance, Chinese miners account for about 70% of Bitcoin production, tending to use renewable energy—mostly hydropower—during the rainy summer months, but fossil fuels—primarily coal—for the rest of the year. (Blandin et al., 2020).
Therefore, to introduce the core principles of sustainability into the blockchain, there have been a few projects announced that aim to incorporate the inclusion of REDD Carbon credits, allowing users to neutralize their energy consumption and carbon footprint by paying a small fee in addition to normal cryptocurrency transaction/gas fees. This would impact significant energy usage issues associated with blockchains, thereby acting as a substantial improvement over the current REDD carbon credit trading markets. (NASDAQ 2018).
BITCOIN AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE
Regulators and policy-makers are concerned about the misuse of cryptocurrency as a mean for money laundering and financial terrorism. The core of the problem lies around the framework of the transfer mechanism, i.e., anonymity and decentralized transactions (Houben et. al., 2018). In this section, the discussion would be based on the European regulatory framework for digital currencies including TITANIUM and AMLD5.
First, TITANIUM, an acronym for Tools for the Investigation of Transactions in Underground Market, is designed to conduct research using novel data-driven techniques and provide solutions to support Law Enforcement Agencies to undermine illicit transactions in the crypto-market and darknets. One of the key projects that the agency working on is to create a set of services and forensic tools to analyze the virtual distribution ledger to trace money laundering and financial terrorism activities. Moving forward, it is important to acknowledge whether the tools can work effectively for both pseudo-anonymous and fully anonymous coins and considering the cost and time involved in doing such analysis. The organization partners with research institutions and defence agencies including University College London, Interpol, and Trilateral Research (the UK and IE-based enterprise).
Next, the European Union legislation framework, known as Anti Money Laundering Directive 5 (AMLD5), designed to combat money laundering activities, synchronised action between the Member States, and regularly updated based on the international framework called Recommendation for the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Enforced in 2018, the updated framework includes virtual currencies (where cryptocurrencies describe as their subset) and each Member State has to implement it within an 18-months period (Keatinge et. al., 2018).
Nevertheless, there are some precautions in which the regulations enforced should not curb the development and innovation of the technology as it can benefit economic growth. Governments need to clarify the boundaries to assist financial institutions to make informed decisions to manage their risks.

I was an Inquisitive Child. How Francesca Ucci, the artist, was born!
I was an inquisitive child with a mischievous streak. My favourite toy was a kaleidoscope which changed patterns and colours as I looked into it and turned the cardboard tube.
My mother was from Italy and was always talking about the wonderful bright places in Italy as she grew up. She dressed me in bright primary colours – a red cardigan which she knitted me, a yellow skirt or blue trousers that she made.
She spoke to me of the lovely colours of dresses that Italians loved to wear, but oh so tastefully.
These influences were cemented in my mind on trips to Italy where I fell in love with the brightness all around me from the blue sea, to the yellow and red melons!
Once I had begun to understand my very nature, I began to leave dark paintings behind and moved forward with a brighter palette.


You've likely heard the term "HSA" used when talking about health insurance plans. But what exactly is it, and what do those three letters stand for?
HSA stands for "health savings account." It's a savings account that's often created in connection with a high-deductible health insurance plan and is designed to help you pay medical expenses.
Generally, any adult covered by a high-deductible insurance plan may establish an HSA. For 2015, a "high-deductible plan" is defined as one with an annual deductible of at least $1,300 for individuals and $2,600 for families.
An increasing number of employers offer HSAs as one of a handful of health insurance benefits available to their employees. Some offer contributions to their employees' HSAs, similar to how certain companies contribute to their employees' 401k accounts.
"A qualified medical expense" covers a wide variety of procedures, such as tests, that a doctor may decide are medically necessary. Depending on the specific HSA, one of these expenses can be drug-sensitivity, or pharmacogenetic, testing, as long as a doctor has prescribed the test.
Private insurance covers pharmacogenetic testing in many diagnostic situations, including adverse drug reactions or lack of response to medication, pain management, cancer management, and management of many co-morbid conditions. For testing situations not covered, money in an HSA can often be used to pay for the cost of the test.
For more information on HSAs covering pharmacogenetic testing, contact your health insurance provider or your' employer. For an in-depth look at HSAs in general and how to make the most out of them, check out this Forbes article.
Has your doctor prescribed YouScript pharmacogenetic testing for you, but you're worried about paying for it? Genelex, the makers of YouScript, is committed to making the benefits of pharmacogenetic testing accessible and affordable.
Even if you don't have health insurance, are on a high-deductible plan, or your final patient responsibility poses a financial hardship for you, we offer a Financial Assistance Program, which includes reduced fee options for those who qualify.

Jorginho brings joy and confusion with unique penalty on Premier League debut

After the gloom of last season, Chelsea were badly in need of a dose of positivity.
Enter Maurizio Sarri and "fun" football. Enter transfer window excitement. Enter Jorginho.
The former Napoli midfielder is a big, beaming smile with the body of a footballer attached to it. He hasn't stopped smiling since day one. So when he scored his first Premier League goal on Saturday, the only thing that changed is that his smile became an even bigger smile!

Jorginho's goal came from the penalty spot, taken in rather unique style that we saw once in preseason as well.
We've seen the Frank Lampard or David Luiz method of bashing it into a corner many times (which seems to be the most sure-fire). We've seen the Hazard style of not even looking at the ball while sauntering up until the goalkeeper commits. And then there's Jorginho's style of ... well, whatever this is.
Late in the half, after some smooth interplay between Jorginho and Barkley, the latter's flick finds Alonso who is fouled in the box and Jorginho steps up to cooly convert the penalty. 2-0. #CFC pic.twitter.com/wgd8CLrLam

According to his coach of old and new, this isn't a new thing.
"I don't know, he has always kicked the penalty like today."
-Maurizio Sarri; Source: football.london
It's certainly unique, almost like an evolution of the classic "paradinha" where the shooter would stop suddenly to send the goalkeeper one way or the other. Here's Ronaldo showing how it's done, in a classic example.
Since that style was deemed illegal after a while, the modern paradinha needs to incorporate continuous movement while still throwing off the timing of the goalkeeper. By changing the approach speed, Jorginho's little hop serves the same purpose as the old stutter step, while also disguising the shape of the shot. Done correctly, it's probably unstoppable as it involves no guesswork on the shooter's part. For his part, Jorginho's has missed just once in 11 tries so far.

As an added bonus, it's confusing more than just the opposition goalkeeper. Here Huddersfield striker Steve Mounié, mind blown.
"It was weird.
"He jumped before the penalty and Ben (Hamer) had already dived, so I don't know why the ref didn't make him retake the penalty.
"It was a little bit weird. The ref needs to explain that to us because I don't understand why (it was not retaken).

HA-HA!
If it doesn't have a nickname already, then it needs one. Bring on your suggestions, otherwise we're assigning "hippity-hoppity". And let's be honest, no one wants that.

PA 03/2019: Filing strategies: factors to consider when deciding whether to file an international application with a national (or, where applicable, regional) Office or the International Bureau as receiving Office – an example of a US resident [..]
WARNING: Although the information which follows was correct at the time of original publication in the PCT Newsletter, some information may no longer be applicable; for example, amendments may have been made to the PCT Regulations and Administrative Instructions, as well as to PCT Forms, since the PCT Newsletter concerned was published; changes to certain fees and references to certain publications may no longer be valid. Wherever there is a reference to a PCT Rule, please check carefully whether the Rule in force at the date of publication of the advice has since been amended.
Filing strategies: factors to consider when deciding whether to file an international application with a national (or, where applicable, regional) Office or the International Bureau as receiving Office – an example of a US resident who is a national of Canada
Q: I am a US patent agent and have been approached by a client who is resident in the US and a national of Canada. The invention that my client wishes to protect was the subject of an earlier national filing in the US. My client intends to file a PCT application and possibly sell the rights to it in the future. As there may be a new applicant from an Asian country during the international phase, what factors do I need to take into account when deciding which receiving Office to file the application with?
A: In accordance with PCT Rule 19.1, the international application should be filed with the national Office of the Contracting State of which the applicant is a national and/or resident, or with the International Bureau as receiving Office (RO/IB).
Because of the nationality and residence of your client (hereinafter "the applicant"), he/she has the option of filing the PCT application with the receiving Offices (ROs) of the United States of America (RO/US), Canada (RO/CA) or RO/IB.
Several factors may affect an applicant's choice of RO, including:
national security considerations;
agent's right to practice before the RO;
choice of International Searching Authorities (ISAs) and International Preliminary Examining Authorities (IPEAs);
language(s) accepted by the RO;
whether electronic filing is possible with the RO;
whether the RO has any outstanding notifications of incompatibility in relation to certain safeguard provisions (such as restoration of the right of priority under PCT Rule 26bis.3);
in the event of filing close to the expiration of the 12‑month priority period, the time zone difference and the hours of operation of the RO; and
cost of filing at the Office concerned (the transmittal fee and certain other fees which may have to be paid for the benefit of the RO vary amongst Offices) and whether the RO offers any fee reductions, as well as modalities of payment of fees.
We will look at some of the specific points that you may wish to consider when deciding with which RO to file the application, given the circumstances outlined in your question. Note that these are not exhaustive, and there may be other issues to consider.
National security considerations
In most cases, you are considered to have permission to file with another Office if you have either filed an application for the same invention at the relevant national Office a certain amount of time previously (which varies from Office to Office) and have not received a security notice stating that you should not file elsewhere, or if you have explicitly requested and been granted permission. Note that the United States law includes restrictions on the filing of patent applications for inventions made in the country. Known national legislation which restricts the filing of international applications with other Offices for reasons of national security are summarized at:
www.wipo.int/pct/en/texts/nat_sec.html
Filing with RO/US: Where the subject matter of the international application is identical to that of the earlier application, the priority of which is claimed in the international application, and the international application is filed with the same Office as the earlier application, any necessary security checks will normally already have been carried out by the time you file the international application. If this is not the case, RO/US will not forward the application to the IB for processing (nor to the ISA for the purposes of international search) until such time as the national security clearance has been given.
Filing with RO/CA or RO/IB: if you file directly with either RO/IB or RO/CA, neither of these Offices will carry out a check of national security prescriptions – you would be responsible for ensuring that the PCT application complies with any U.S. national security requirements before filing.
Choice of ISAs and IPEAs
It could be useful, where possible, to choose an ISA which would search prior art that is particularly relevant to the region where protection is ultimately sought. For example, if protection will be sought in Japan, it may be useful to choose ISA/JP as that Office may find relevant prior art in Japanese, which may not be accessible to other ISAs for language reasons. Please also bear in mind that if you obtain positive search/examination results from an ISA (or IPEA) which is the same Office from which you ultimately wish to obtain a patent, this should make it easier to obtain positive results before that Office upon national examination. However, choice of ISA (or IPEA) is limited, depending on the RO with which you file your international application.
RO/US: you would have a wide choice of ISAs (and IPEAs) as RO/US has specified the following ISAs (and IPEAs): the patent Offices of Australia (AU), Israel (IL), Japan (JP), the Republic of Korea (KR), the Russian Federation (RU), Singapore (SG) and U.S., and the European Patent Office (EP).
RO/CA: the Office has specified only itself as ISA (or IPEA), so you would not be able to choose any other Office as ISA (or IPEA) if you file with it.
RO/IB: the competent ISAs (or IPEAs) are the same as would have been competent if the international application had been filed with the national Office of, or acting for, a Contracting State of which the applicant is a resident or national (see PCT Rules 35.3 and 59.1(b)). This means that applicants with different countries of residence and nationality filing an international application with RO/IB may have a wider choice of competent ISAs when compared with filing before a national (or where applicable, regional) Office acting as RO. For instance, in your case, when selecting the ISA, you would be able to expand the ISA/IPEA coverage as you would be able to choose the Offices which have been specified to act as ISA (or IPEA) by RO/US (in view of the applicant's country of residence) as well as by RO/CA (in view of the applicant's nationality).
It is recalled that you can request a supplementary international search by any of the Authorities that offer this service, regardless of the receiving Office with which you file the international application, but the Authority specified for supplementary international search must be different from the Authority that has performed the international search.
Right to practice before the RO
Although none of the three ROs require the applicant to appoint an agent, if an agent is appointed, there are certain requirements which must be met.
RO/US: provided that you are registered to practice with the USPTO, you are entitled to act as an agent for the international application if you file with RO/US.
RO/CA: the agent must be a person or firm entitled to practice before the Office. If you are not entitled to act before RO/CA, and the applicant wishes to be represented by an agent before that Office, he/she would have to appoint another agent who meets that requirement. Otherwise, you could be included as an address for correspondence, however, any submission to the RO or the International Authorities would have to be signed by the applicant.
RO/IB: while any resident or national of a PCT Contracting State may file an international application directly with RO/IB (PCT Rule 19.1(a)(iii)), and the RO/IB is in that sense considered a "universal RO", it is not the case that any agent could act as agent before the RO/IB – the right to practice is governed by PCT Rule 83.1bis1 and the question of which agent may act as such for a particular international application is linked to the nationality and residence of all applicants. As the applicant is resident in the US and you are presumably entitled to act before RO/US, you would also be entitled to act as agent before RO/IB for the international application concerned (as would any agent entitled to practice before RO/CA).
For further information on other issues raised in this Practical Advice (for example, permitted language(s) of filing, whether electronic filing is available at the RO, amounts of fees payable, information on restoration of the right of priority under PCT Rule 26bis.3 and criteria applied), please refer to the PCT Applicant's Guide, Annexes B and C, in respect of the Office concerned, at:
www.wipo.int/pct/en/guide/index.html
and to find out whether an RO has any outstanding notifications of incompatibility which may influence the RO with which you may file, please refer to the table at:
www.wipo.int/pct/en/texts/reservations/res_incomp.html
Another useful resource for comparing Office information is the "Office Profile" in the "ePCT Reference Data Lookup" at:
https://pct.wipo.int/ePCTExternal/pages/home.xhtml
In accordance with PCT Rule 83.1bis(a), any person who has the right to practice before the national Office of, or acting for, a PCT Contracting State of which the applicant, or if there are two or more applicants, any of the applicants is resident or national shall be entitled to practice in respect of the international application before the RO/IB.

Connect Accounting was established in February 1998 by myself, Sav Nicotra.
After having qualified as an accountant in 1992, I had already gained many years experience in both public and private sector accounting. This experience included accounting for large corporate companies to private individuals tax computations. This experience has also allowed me to contribute to various accounting periodicals and also to prepare Vat and Tax Tribunals.
Along with accounting knowledge has come business experience and we at Connect Accounting share this experience with new business start ups and help with all areas including obtaining finance, employment law and even personal financial well being, although we are not financial advisers.
In 1993 I became a franchisee of a Vat Consultancy based in the West Country. Although I was specialising purely on reducing the Vat quarterly payments of the small cash retailers, I realised that the same service could be offered in all areas of Taxation including Company and personal tax.
Such a demand for not only reducing tax liability but for offering a unique personal accounting service resulted in the introduction of Connect. We now trade as Incorporated Financial Accountants, and our practicing Certificate number with the Institute of Financial Accountants is 950.

Gladbach boss Favre rules out Dante return
By FourFourTwo Staff published 15 March 15
Bayern Munich defender Dante is not set for a return to Borussia Monchengladbach, according to the coach at Borussia Park, Lucien Favre.
The Brazil international has struggled for starts under Pep Guardiola this term and was substituted after just 32 minutes in Bayern's 3-1 win over Hannover last weekend.
While Guardiola explained the decision was purely tactical and Dante also expressed his understanding of the change, speculation has been rife that Monchengladbach could be ready to re-sign the 31-year-old.
Sporting director Max Eberl explained he remains in contact with the player, but coach Favre stated there was no chance of the defender returning north.

You'll feel lucky AND in love when you're immersed in this love-filled pashmina style shawl. This scarf features 100% acrylic woven material; a black backdrop offsets the cheery red heart-scattered pattern in a spirited design you will love. Watch your love grow as the hearts increase in size, fanning the edge of the scarf. Fringed edges complete the wrap, making it the perfect accessory for that romantic date or if you feel like showing yourself some love. Makes a perfect gift too! Imported.
I received this scarf yesterday. It is absolutely beautiful, the colors are bright, just like on the picture and the packaging was a welcoming surprize.
I love this scarf! I wear a lot of black/grey/dark colors, so it's a nice way to add a pop of color to my outfit. I think the hearts are cute, though I'm sure it's not everyone's style. I love it though.

Politics|Obama Counters G.O.P. With Plan to Extend Spending Freeze
Obama Counters G.O.P. With Plan to Extend Spending Freeze
By JACKIE CALMES JAN. 25, 2011
See how this article appeared when it was originally published on NYTimes.com
WASHINGTON — By proposing a two-year extension to the three-year domestic spending freeze he called for a year ago, President Obama sought to quickly counter Republican demands for deeper cuts to shrink government and reduce annual budget deficits.
But Mr. Obama, in his State of the Union address Tuesday night, declined to suggest additional ways to rein in the unsustainable growth of Medicare and Medicaid or to resolve the long-term financial problems facing Social Security. He is waiting for the new political dynamic of divided government to sort itself out before inviting Republicans to plunge into the risky business of addressing costly entitlement programs.
Mr. Obama "recognizes we have to do more," Gene Sperling, the chief White House economic adviser, said before the speech. "But he also recognizes that it's only going to happen if we create a frame and an atmosphere that allows both houses and both parties to work together."
For now, the president would extend a partial freeze of domestic spending that he proposed in last year's address while increasing the government's economic "investments" in areas like research and education.
Mr. Obama also called upon Congress to join him in simplifying the corporate tax code by eliminating loopholes in exchange for lowering the 35 percent rate, and perhaps to overhaul the individual income-tax system as well.

The annual address allowed Mr. Obama to directly answer the new House Republican majority that has spent weeks attacking him as spending too much. But he also spoke to a national television audience, in effect beginning a debate about the country's priorities at a time of large annual deficits and unmet public needs that will probably last through his term and re-election campaign.
Mr. Obama called his proposal to extend to five years his earlier three-year spending freeze a "down payment" on reducing annual deficits. The freeze would apply to spending covering a wide variety of domestic programs, but that slice is only about one-seventh of the federal budget — limiting the overall deficit reduction that would result.
The freeze would exempt the biggest and fastest-growing areas of the federal budget — Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and the military. But the Pentagon is coming in for cuts in the annual budget Mr. Obama will send to Congress in three weeks: Administration officials say it will include proposals from Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates squeezing $78 billion from military accounts over five years.
The five-year freeze in so-called discretionary domestic spending would reduce deficits by more than $400 billion in the 10 years through the fiscal year 2021, the administration said. By comparison, a group representing most House Republicans last week called for cutting $2.5 trillion over that decade.
Mr. Obama acknowledged that his budget-cutting measures would not go far enough when an aging population and rising health care costs were driving up projected annual deficits. Both sides, he said, "have to stop pretending that cutting this kind of spending alone will be enough."
Even so, the president declined to embrace any of the recommendations of a bipartisan majority on the fiscal commission he created last year, and which finished in December. He proposed that commission in last year's State of the Union address, saying, "This can't be one of those Washington gimmicks that lets us pretend we solved a problem."

The commission's majority report proposed cuts through the fiscal year 2020 in all spending, including for Medicare and Social Security, and an end to a raft of costly tax breaks for individuals and businesses so the revenue savings could be used to lower tax rates and to reduce deficits.
The naysayers on the commission included its three House Republicans, including Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, the new chairman of the House Budget Committee, who delivered the Republican response to Mr. Obama on Tuesday night. They said the proposed cuts were not deep enough.
While Mr. Obama told lawmakers that the parties must come together to make the necessary tough choices, his decision not to embrace the fiscal commission's report as the basis for immediate bipartisan talks disappointed many centrist, anti-deficit groups — even as it pleased liberal activists who have been lobbying against the recommendations.
"He really has to kick off this discussion," said Maya MacGuineas of the bipartisan and centrist Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. "It was his commission. They reported at the end of last year. There needs to be a follow-up, and it needs to come from the president."
But other budget analysts said Mr. Obama was smart not to get out front too soon. Already newly empowered Congressional Republicans are struggling to come up with the specific cuts they need to keep their ambitious campaign promises.
"Major deficit reduction will not happen without bipartisan negotiations," said Robert Greenstein, founder of the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, "and it would have been a mistake for the president to lay out a detailed deficit-reduction plan now, only to have his opponents attack it and try to blow it up."
"The last two times that we had large, successful bipartisan negotiations on the budget — in 1990 and 1997 — the president did not lay out all the changes he would be willing to accept before the negotiations began," Mr. Greenstein added. "Why should this time be different?"

Please keep in mind that there is a lot more to cover with vector dependence and at this stage, am going to give the quick and nasty shortcuts that you may or may not have success with.
sourcefile.cpp(231) (col. 13): remark: loop was not vectorized: existence of vector dependence.
sourcefile.cpp(234) (col. 17): remark: vector dependence: assumed FLOW dependence between (unknown) line 234 and (unknown) line 234.
sourcefile.cpp(234) (col. 17): remark: vector dependence: assumed ANTI dependence between (unknown) line 234 and (unknown) line 234.
You have examined you structures and for the life of you, you see no such dependency.
sourcefile.cpp(231) (col. 13): remark: LOOP WAS VECTORIZED.
sourcefile.cpp(290) (col. 17): remark: loop was not vectorized: vectorization possible but seems inefficient.
When you I run this code snippet (keeping in mind there is other stuff as well), my elapsed time is 12.2448 seconds.
sourcefile.cpp(290) (col. 17): remark: LOOP WAS VECTORIZED.
My elapsed time is now 8.7879 seconds. ~40% speedup? I'll take that, thank you very much.
I've just learnt something new.
You can declare functions as simd(ified) by either specifying the length or opting for automatic detection.
You can do the same with loops.
loop was not vectorized: vectorization possible but seems inefficient.
Which is not actually true (from experience).
I would like to be able to chain the vectorisation pragmas together (something like: "#pragma ivdep & vector always") but I cannot. The "#pragma vector always" will override the low trip count the compiler detects.
Loop execution time (for sample) reduced to 12.5% of original runtime. Results exact. Sick.
I have 14 years experience in software research and development for extreme-scale, high-performance computing (HPC) systems and massive scale data analytic and throughput methodologies. I apply these skills learned from a strong background in supercomputing, data processing and massive scale, scientific visualisation in every task I have put in front of me.


When I feel distant from the Lord, I ask myself if there is anything, any part of my heart that I am withholding from Him. He promises that when I seek Him with my whole heart, that I will find Him. On those days when He seems far away, I ask the Lord to come, to purify my heart so that I can seek him wholeheartedly. I don't want to hold anything back. I want to give Him my all!
love this beautiful reminder to seek Him with all of our heart! joining you in seeking wholeheartedly!
Thank you Laurie. Have a blessed week.
Me too, my friend, which is why I posted this verse. Seeking Him out with you today, and tomorrow, and every day after that.
Thank you for the beautiful reminder to seek and to love Him with all our heart, mind and soul.
Thank you friend. Have a blessed week!
great passage! always encouraging that He wants us to find Him.
I love that He's always waiting for us. He never moves. We are the ones who move. It's choice. We either move towards Him, or away from Him. But He remains constant and waits for us to look for Him.
Come, Lord Jesus, come into my heart and make me whole. God never leaves us, it is us who walk away from Him, either intentionally or unintentionally when life gets busy. Isn't it amazing, that all we have to do is stop and turn to face Him? Cry out Lord help me and He is right there drawing us closer into Him.
Today in our preschool class we taught the children about the importance of stopping and listening for Jesus' voice. Although He is always speaking, we hear more of what He wants to say when we slow down, when we stop.
This verse has been on my heart this week. So often we quote Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you…" but we forget the following verses. Very encouraging scripture.
Have a blessed day Joan. Thanks for linking up!
Thank you for this beautiful reminder Barbie.
You're welcome Charina. Have a beautiful day.
There is such a sweet fragrance of the Lord on your blog Barbie. I know it is because you DO seek Him. I love this scripture.
BTW … I have tried twice to link up, but Mr. Linky is being a stinky! So far I haven't had success. We shall see.
Thank you for your sweet comment. And yay! You got linked up! I am praying for you and for your parents!
I wish that was in my backyard as well! Thank you for stopping over today Shari!
There are times I can't feel His presence, but without a doubt, I know He's there. I believe the "knowing" is part of my growth and trust in Him.
Thanks for hosting every Sunday!
So thankful to have you on this journey my friend! Leaning and trusting. It's a daily journey.
Thank you Barbie. I've had a couple of hard days and feel myself shutting down a bit. I don't want to do that, I want to be whole hearted no matter what.
Saying a prayer for you right now Elizabeth. Asking the Father to come and surround you with His peaceful presence.
Oh, you just know all my favorite verses, don't you Barbie.
We are kindred on this one…striving with you, friend, to have Him become my all in all!
We are kindred spirits my friend! Have a beautiful week!
I loved this. Thank you for reminding me that I need to seek Him with my whole heart. Your picture was beautiful. I wish that was in my back yard.


Digital transformation – the updating of information technology solutions and services – is one of the highest priorities for government today. Given its potential to improve citizen services, cut procurement costs and improve productivity, federal agencies are aggressively pursuing this objective. But while digital transformation is pursued, many agencies have yet to see real outcomes in the way digital tools facilitate mission goals.
In a recent GovLoop survey of 163 federal government professionals, more than 60 percent of respondents said their agency's ability to innovate the way it meets its mission and service citizens was "average" at best.
The survey, conducted by GovLoop in partnership with Appian, also revealed a number of reasons why this disconnect between priorities and outcomes exists. Specifically, we found that agencies face multiple roadblocks to achieving digital transformation, including a misunderstanding of the concept, outdated legacy systems and ineffective planning to leverage new tools.
But in an interview with Jason Adolf, Industry Practice Leader for Federal at Appian, we also discovered several tactics for overcoming these challenges to both define and achieve digital transformation. He also explained how development environments called application platforms-as-a-service (aPaaS) can help move agencies forward even as resources dwindle and citizen expectations rise.
This research brief examines the data from our survey to define the obstacles agencies face in pursuit of digital innovation. It also details the tactics and tools organizations can leverage to move forward and meet mission goals.

Kurt Student (12 de maig de 1890 – 1 de juliol de 1978) va ser un general de la Luftwaffe alemanya que lluità com a pilot durant la I Guerra Mundial i com a comandant de les tropes Fallschirmjäger (paracaigudistes) durant la II Guerra Mundial.

Biografia
Student va néixer a Birkholz, un poble de Züllichau-Schwiebus a la província Brandenburg, a Prússia (avui Polònia).

Student ingressà a l'Exèrcit Imperial Alemany com a oficial candidat el 1910 i va ser nomenat tinent al març de 1911. Després de servir inicialment amb un batalló (Jäger) d'infanteria lleugera, va realitzar el curs de pilot el 1913. Serví des de l'inici de la I Guerra Mundial i fins a febrer de 1916 al Feldflieger-Abteilung 17 al Front de Galàcia, i després al Front Occidental en unitats aèries del III Exèrcit, incloent al Jagdstaffel 9 (Jasta 9) (que comandà entre octubre de 1916 fins a maig de 1917). Aconseguí 6 victòries contra aeroplans francesos entre 1916-1917.

Durant el període d'entreguerres intentà que l'aviació militar alemanya no quedés obsoleta. En la postguerra immediata va ser destinat a la recerca militar i a desenvolupament. Va participar en el desenvolupament dels  planejadors, que no estaven prohibits pel Tractat de Versalles. També assistí a les maniobres de la Força Aèria Roja, on tingué el primer contacte amb el concepte de les operacions paracaigudistes.

Després que Adolf Hitler ascendís al poder a Alemanya, la Luftwaffe va ser secretament restablerta. Student va ser transferit del Heer a la Luftwaffe, sent nomenat per Göring com el cap de les escoles d'entrenament de la Luftwaffe, una posició que seria oficial quan el 1935 el Tractat de Versalles va ser denunciat. Al juliol de 1938, va ser nomenat comandant de les tropes paracaigudistes, i al setembre era nomenat comandant general de la 7. Flieger-Division, la primera divisió paracaigudista alemanya.

Si bé la divisió no participà en la invasió de Polònia, les seves tropes van demostrar la seva vàlua durant la Blitzkrieg el 1940 als Països Baixos, on les seves tropes van capturar la fortalesa belga d'Eben-Emael. Va resultar accidentalment ferit al cap per foc amic prop de Rotterdam al maig de 1940, una ferida que el deixaria fora de joc durant 8 mesos. De resultes de la seva valentia i lideratge en aquestes operacions va rebre la Creu de Cavaller de la Creu de Ferro.

El gener de 1941, després de restablir-se, va ser nomenat comandant general del XI. Fliegerkorps, el nou comandament per a unes forces paracaigudistes en expansió. Des d'aquesta posició, Student dirigí l'Operació Mercuri, la captura de l'illa de Creta al maig de 1941 (al gener va proposar una operació similar contra les tropes britàniques a Irlanda del Nord, en les mateixes línies que proposava el Plan Kathleen, mentre que Göring li proposava que el seu objectiu hauria de ser la conquesta paracaigudista de Gibraltar, via Operació Fèlix). L'Operació Mercuri va ser un èxit, però l'alt nombre de baixes va fer que Hitler prohibís futures operacions paracaigudistes.

El 1943 planejà l'Operació Roure (Unternehmen Eiche), el triomfal raid conduït per una unitat especial de la Luftwaffe per alliberar al dictador italià Benito Mussolini. El conegut commando de les Waffen SS Otto Skorzeny participà en aquesta operació. Student rebé les Fulles de Roure per a la seva Creu de Cavaller pel seu paper en aquesta operació.

Student va ser enviat a Itàlia i després a França, on participà en la defensa de Normandia el 1944. Va ser posat al capdavant del 1r Exèrcit Paracaigudista i participà en la contenció de l'Operació Horta prop d'Arnhem. Després d'una breu estada al Front Oriental a Mecklenburg el 1945, va ser capturat per les forces britàniques a Slesvig-Holstein a l'abril del mateix any. Va ser presoner de guerra britànic fins a ser alliberat el 1948.
