Apple patent is for configurable input device
Posted by dsellers | Sep 6, 2012 | MacTech Blog, Uncategorized |
An Apple patent (number 20120227006) for a configurable input device has popped up at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. It shows that Apple is working on methods and systems related to having an input device configured according to a position of a user's hand relative to the input device.
In particular, in some embodiments, a method of operating a computing system is provided that includes determining an operational context of the computing system utilizing a processor of the system and configuring an input device for the system based on the operational context. The input device includes a plurality of discrete input members.
The method also includes displaying a virtual image representative of the input device on a display of the system. A position of a user's digits relative to the input device is sensed and the input device is reconfigured based on the sensed position of the user's digits. An image of the user's digits overlaying the virtual image representative of the input device is provided on a display of the computing system.
Here's Apple's background and summary of the invention: "Some common input devices for computing systems include a keyboard, a mouse, and a trackpad. Of these, the keyboard may be the most used. Often users look down at the keyboard when they type. This is not ergonomic and may lead to neck and muscle strain. Additionally, it is generally not advantageous for accurate and/or fast typing. Specifically, when users are focused on the keyboard, they cannot tell what has been input and typically revisit the input data to edit it.
"Moreover, when someone accustomed to looking at the keyboard tries to view the display instead of the keyboard, errors and frustration may occur as they cannot tell where their hands are relative to the keys they want to use. Further, when alternating between a mouse (or trackpad) and the keyboard, constant re-positioning of the hands on the keyboard is generally required for proper hand placement.
"There are provided methods and systems related to having an input device configurable according to a position of a user's hand relative to the input device. An image of the configured input device may be displayed for a user to view. Additionally, an image of the user's hands/digits may overlay the image of the input device to indicate their relative location.
"In some embodiments, a method of operating a computing system is provided that includes utilizing a processor to determine an operational context of the computing system and configuring an input device for the system based on the operational context. The input device may include a plurality of discrete input members. In some embodiments, the discrete input members may take the form of an array of sensors (e.g., touch sensors, pressure sensors, force sensors, and so forth).
"In other embodiments, the discrete input members may take the form of switches, such as keys of a keyboard, for example. Input received from the discrete input members may be configured so as to register as particular characters, icons, or other input based at least in part upon the location of a user's hands relative to the discrete input members. For example, in some embodiments, a resting or starting position of the hands may cause the discrete input members to be configured such that a 'home row' of keys, or other conventional key arrangement, for a keyboard is aligned with the user's fingers.
"The method may also include displaying a virtual image representative of the input device on a display of the system. A position of a user's digits relative to the input device is sensed and an image of the user's digits overlaying the virtual image representative of the input device is provided on a display of the computing system. In some embodiments, the image of the user's digits overlaying the virtual image shows the user's digits in positions approximating their relative location.
"Additionally, or alternatively, the user's digits may be shown in positions illustrating what input their digits overlay. That is, the illustrated digits may be shown as being over particular characters, icons, etc., that the discrete input devices will be interpreted as by the computing system.
"In some embodiments, a computer system is provided that includes an input device having a surface utilized for providing input to the computer in response to a user input, a first sensor configured to determine a position of a user's hand relative to the surface, and a second sensor configured to determine a touch of the user's hand on the surface. The computer system also has a processor communicatively coupled with the input device and a memory communicatively coupled with the processor.
"A display in communication with the processor is provided and configured to receive data from the processor to provide a virtual image of the user's hand overlaying an image of the input device. The image of the input device shows discrete input members and an image representing the user's hands overlaying the image of the input device. The displayed discrete input members are aligned at least in part based on the determined position of the user's hand relative to the surface.
"In still other embodiments, a computer system is provided having a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, and a plurality of sensors communicatively coupled to the processor. The plurality of sensors are configured to sense a position of a user's digits relative to a surface of the computer system and to sense an input from a user.
"A display of the computer system is configured to show an image representing a virtual input device and the user's digits overlaying the image representing the input device. The virtual input device includes a plurality of discrete virtual buttons configured to correspond in location with the sensed position of the user's digits.
"While multiple embodiments are disclosed, other embodiments will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following Detailed Description. As will be realized, the embodiments are capable of modifications in various aspects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the embodiments discussed herein. Accordingly, the drawings and detailed description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive."
David T. Amm is the inventor.

Describing his work as 'light architecture' Bleyenberg is best know for his large scale installations using diffractive holographic elements and dot-matrix hologram prints. He considers these holograms as projectors, casting light through space. He calls them "Agents of light". While such holograms have no image depth the shifting colours produce a different dimension.
Bleyenberg trained and practiced as a painter before focusing on compositions with optics and light. He has exhibited extensively in Europe and was featured in MIT Museum's Luminous Windows: Holograms for the 21st Century. Bleyenberg's public art commissions include Eyefire- Holographic Wall for the DFG, German Research Foundation, Bonn, Germany and New Burlington Flare diffractive light installation for New Burlington Place, London, England among others.
Renaissance:re is a series of holographic portraits which (re)establishes a connection to the Italian renaissance painters of the 15th century and the masters of early dutch painting. Quite a number of these artists used optical aids . They employed mirrors, prisms and lenses to create their highly detailed and realistic paintings and drawings. Like today, attaching importance to the science and technique of their time lead them to new ways of artistic depiction.
Combining drawing and computer generated sketches Blyenbergs' portraits link together concepts in art and philosophy. His research into the relationship of optics to painting styles informs these works which seek to push the application of light as a pictorial tool. Dynamic drawings of light are composed with the undulation of spectral colour.


- Prince Tassilo Von Bayern takes on the X-Bow Battle Rookies Challenge.
The suspense of a long winter break is coming to an end, as action gets underway in Monza this week for the first round of the 2019 GT4 European Series. Along with an exciting programme for Reiter and its drivers this season, Reiter & KTM Sportcar welcome new partner Valvoline onboard for the upcoming season! Team boss Hans Reiter adds: "We have an exceptional and international driver line up this year! Between Rwanda, Austria, Swizerland, Germany, Czech Republic and Norway, princes to former Formula One drivers, the GT4 series' to Xbow battle & W Series, an age range of 17 to 42 we have it all and are ready for a year full of action!
Mads Siljehaug (23) returns to the GT4 European Series, this time as a Reiter Engineering factory driver. The Norwegian brings valuable experience to the young pairing, in having competed with the KTM X-bow GT4 in the European Series in 2016 where he was Vice Champion & in 2017 where he won the Reiter Young Stars Championship. Joining Siljehaug, a new member of the Reiter Engineering team, Phil Hill (17) makes his debut into GT racing. The speedy German was Vice Champion in the 2018 Formula Renault NEC and although he is young, Hill has shown promising talent during testing. The duo will undoubtably be a force to reckon with and are eager to get under way!
Reiter Engineering Driver & Team manager Naomi Schiff (24) has qualified for the innaugeral season of the ground breaking W Series! The selection process which took place over the last months, saw a number of women from across the world fighting for 1 of 18 available seats in the W series F3 Tatuus cars. Schiff, who won the 2018 KTM X-bow Battle GT4 championship, has secured herself one of the 18 seats and will compete in her first full season in formula cars this year.
Schiff: " The opportunity which W Series is offering us women is undoubtably amazing! Its going to be a tough year competing for the top spot against the most talented women in motorsport, but im grabbing this chance with both hands and plan to make the most of it. This year with the help of Reiter Engineering, Leplan GT, Valvoline & BRM Germany, I will be flying the German flag high, and hopefully bringing home some silverware!
KTM factory driver Reinhard Kofler (34) heads into his third GT4 European Series championship with True Racing and Reiter Engineering. This season the Austrian driver strives to continue collecting podiums and has his eye on the championship title! Helping him to reach that goal will be Patric Niederhauser (27). The Swiss driver, much like Kofler, has proven his speed time and time again and will be a valuable addition to the team. Niederhauser first drove the KTM last season when he joined Reiter Engineering for the GT4 Central European Series. His results were impressive with back to back pole positions and podiums. The team is well prepared and ready to take on the challenge ahead!
Kofler: "It's going to be an extremely exciting year, the competition is strong, but we are very well prepared, and we're looking forward to the challenges."
Felbermayr & Reiter Engineering join forces again! This time bringing together young talents Eike Angermayr (20) and Mads Siljehaug (23) into the new ADAC GT4 Germany. Both Angermayr and Siljehaug are no strangers to the KTM X-bow GT4 nor the Reiter Engineering team. The two youngsters who formerly competed against one another will now put their experience together and join forces to form the #24 Felbermayr-Reiter team!
Tomas Enge who also heads the customer sport department at Reiter Engineeing returns to the popular Thailand Super series for the 6th consecutive year with long term Reiter Engineering customer team Vattana Motorsport! The Czech driver has already taken the TSS title in the past and hopes to continue bringing the team memorable moments!
Another familiar duo who are eagerly awaiting the start of the new season are Laura Kraihamer and Reini Kofler, the two Austrian True Racing factory drivers have paired in GT4 Europe in the past and will now bring their knowledge over to the new ADAC GT4 Germany championship!
Tassilo Von Bayern (24) takes on the KTM Rookies Challenge. The young prince is no stranger to Reiter Engineering and has already spent several sessions over the years testing our cars.
With bigger goals in mind Tassilo has chosen the rookies challenge as his path towards earning his International license and learning real race craft with Siljehaug as his driver coach! With a P4 qualifying at the first race the season ahead looks bright!

Top 10 Health Benefits of a Rocking Chair
Chairs & Seating Sep 12, 2022
Many of us suffer from ailments that come with age, like arthritis, insomnia, poor blood circulation, and stiff joints. Here, to relieve pressure and alleviate pain, a good old-fashioned rocking chair might be just what you need!
There are a lot of benefits of rocking chairs. It can provide an abundant amount of exercise and help stimulate blood circulation. It can also help maintain muscle tone and alleviate joint stiffness for seniors who don't get much exercise.
Additionally, it can help combat insomnia by lulling an individual to sleep with its gentle back and forth motion. Rocking chairs also provide a better posture with their sturdy backs and ergonomic design. What's more, they've been in existence for over 200 years!
A] What is a Rocking Chair - A Brief History
A rocking chair, also known as an old-aged chair, is a type of chair that has two curved bands attached to the bottom of the legs, connecting the legs on each side to one another.
Rocking chairs are an American invention that emerged in the 1700s. But, its design was derived from rocking cradles dating back to olden times. Intended to be used as outdoor furniture originally, the rocking chair quickly transitioned to being a beloved piece of indoor furniture. It was mostly used by seniors and by mothers to make their babies fall asleep.
Presently, rocking chairs can be found in all types of designs and a variety of materials like plastic and metal. However, nothing can beat the classic wooden rocking chair or the relaxing chair for old person, as it's sometimes called.
B] Health Benefits of a Rocking Chair
Helps with Arthritis and Back Pain
Arthritis is a painful condition that worsens over time. The rocking movement of the chair can help ease the achy and dull pain of arthritis and help circulate oxygen & blood to the joints. Also, if you've had a long day, you can just put your feet up and watch your favourite television show on a rocking chair while it soothes the arthritis pain.
Backache is uncomfortable, especially when it's chronic. However, rocking is a natural way to help ease the symptoms of back pain, as the rocking motion increases blood flow throughout the back. Also, it has been noted that the rocking movement of a rocking chair blocks the pain impulses from reaching the brain, which allows the brain to relax.
Provides Relaxation
The rocking motion of the rocking chair releases endorphins - a hormone that helps reduce stress and enhances mood. Rocking creates a feeling of relaxation and tranquillity, which is why most individuals like to drink a morning tea or coffee while reading a book on a rocking chair.
Calms newborn babies
Rocking chairs are the most common addition to all nurseries as they help calm newborn babies. The gentle motion of the rocking chair can lull the baby to sleep faster, especially when they are up for their nightly feeding. The smooth, arching motion of the chair also helps enhance the feelings of relaxation and increases parent-child bonding.
Helps with insomnia
The rocking motion of the chair is not only good for newborns, but also adults battling insomnia as it can help induce sleep. So, the next time you're restless and unable to fall asleep naturally, try relaxing on a rocking chair, and you'll be sleepy in no time.
Helps with dementia
Side effects of dementia include reduced concentration, confusion, changes in behaviour, withdrawal from activities, inability to complete tasks, and memory problems. These symptoms can be difficult to manage, and studies show that seniors suffering from dementia show a positive response to rocking chairs.
Having a healthy working circulatory system helps fight off cardiovascular diseases. It also reduces inflammation, enhances heart health, and keeps you active. The benefits of a rocking chair include the optimal working of the circulatory system, which helps improve blood circulation. Plus, it helps reduce pain.
Improves mental state
Rocking is often a relaxing activity for many because it releases endorphins in the brain, which improves mood and reduces stress. A rocking chair produces a calming feeling of nostalgia and happiness. It may even help relieve symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and depression because of its sensory qualities.
Acts as light exercise
Exercising for senior citizens who have arthritis or joint pain is difficult. A good solution for the same is a rocking chair. Simple rocking chair exercises can help strengthen muscles and loosen stiff joints without much force or exertion. Senior citizens can also carry out their favourite hobbies like reading a book or knitting while gently rocking in their chairs.
Improves balance
Senior citizens who have health conditions like Parkinson's disease can also benefit from rocking chairs. The body works to naturally balance itself as the chair swings while rocking. Thus, a rocking chair can help an older person improve balance and increase stability. This, in turn, can help them become more independent.
Benefits to nursing mothers
A rocking chair is more of a medical device than a piece of furniture. It can be used by people of all ages, especially nursing mothers. Sitting in a rocking chair while breastfeeding or during playtime can help enhance the mother-child bond. It is also an excellent choice for mothers to soothe their babies, as the gentle rocking motion can help calm the baby and lull him/her to sleep.
A good, high-quality rocking chair serves the purpose of improving both physical as well as mental health. They are not only functional and stylish but also provide numerous health benefits for all - be it a child, an adult, or an elderly person. From a home décor perspective, these classic chairs can add a touch of nostalgia and tradition to a household filled with modern furniture. So, browse through the many relaxing rocking chair options available on UrbanCart and make a purchase today!

Today, more and more college football players are using weight lifting as a valuable tool for improving their strength and speed. Travis Zachery is no exception to this trend, but for the senior running back from Marietta, GA, his main source of strength does not come from a bench press or a squat rack. Instead it comes from the strong support of his family and from a mother who has always been there for him even when things have not gone exactly according to plan.
After a stellar high school career as a basketball and football player at Marietta High School, Zachery became one the most highly sought after running backs in the nation. PrepStar rated him as an All-American and The Recruiting Advisor ranked him as the 17th best tailback in the nation. After countless discussions with his mom, he decided that Clemson would be the place that would best prepare to achieve his goal of one day playing in the NFL. More importantly, though, Clemson was close enough to his home in Georgia that his family would be able to come to every game.
As the youngest of four children, Zachery became the first member of his family to attend college when he came to Clemson in the fall of 1997. As a red-shirt freshman in 1998, he started all 11 games and became the first freshman running back to start every game for the Tigers since Terry Allen in 1987. That season he also led the team in rushing and all-purpose yardage and was named an honorable mention freshman All-American by Football News.
Success did not come easy for Zachery, however, and it was not until a late game 28-yard catch over North Carolina's All-American cornerback Dre' Bly in the fifth game of the season that Zachery gained the confidence he needed to become a big-time college tailback. "After I caught the pass over Bly it was like, 'Welcome to college to football' and that one play really helped my confidence," remembered Zachery.
The following season, in Coach Tommy Bowden's first year at Clemson, Zachery was suspended from spring practice and the opening game of the season against Marshall as a result of off the field discipline problems. Although his suspension was hard for him to understand at the time, Zachery now views it as probably the most important period of life.
"Looking back on it now, it made me see some things that I was not seeing at the time," recalled Zachery. "Getting suspended was very hard on me because all I could do was sit there and watch as my teammates performed so hard on the field. It helped me to realize though that I had to start doing things right if I wanted to be successful.
Last season, Zachery was named first-team All-ACC and became the eighth player in Clemson history to rush for 1000 yards. He had probably his best game of the season against Maryland on homecoming when he rushed for 151 yards and caught three passes in a game televised on ESPN2. For the season, he was second on the team in receptions with 29 and his 18 touchdowns set the Clemson record for touchdowns in a season. He became Clemson's career leader for receptions by a running back (60) and he also broke the Clemson record for most career touchdowns (39). His 108 total points last season set a Clemson single season record, and his 1370 all-purpose running yards were the seventh highest single season total in school history.
The effort his family makes to attend all of his games and the support the team gets from all Clemson fans is something that Zachery appreciates. "Every game when I get my four tickets I know that they are going to my mom, my two sisters, and my brother," smiled Zachery. "I also know exactly where their seats are every game and they are the first people I look to when I score a touchdown.
His entire life, Zachery has become accustomed to people telling him that he doesn't have the necessary size or speed to be a successful running back. Over his college career he has become not only one the best pure running backs in Clemson history, but he has also developed into the school's best receiver out of the backfield. His improvement as a player has not been simply by chance or coincidence but rather it has been by persistence and hard work.
Zachery says that he is very impressed with what he seen from the incoming class of freshmen and that he has very high expectations for himself and the team in 2001. He is a preseason Doak Walker Award candidate and all the pieces seem to be in place for an outstanding senior season. "The freshmen we are bringing in are getting better and better every year," Zachery said. "There is a great deal of speed in this year's class and if they keep working and doing the things they are supposed to, they are going to be very good.

Parkers foot bill as St. Paul makes money hand over fist
Bob Collins October 10, 2016, 6:52 AM Oct 10, 2016
Today's Pioneer Press analysis of downtown St. Paul parking rates raises an ongoing question: Are the parking meters tools to keep parking spots rotating to provide more options for drivers? Or are they no-armed bandits in a city with a declining downtown?
The PiPress says the meters are more expensive than those in Minneapolis, even though the downtown is generally devoid of retail. The rate per hour next year will go up again — to $2.25 under Mayor Chris Coleman's plan to "maximize" revenue.
At what cost to the city?
"It does discourage people. We hear complaints … and there's little new retail in downtown St. Paul. We're one of the first ones in years, and we're trying to build," Dave Unowsky, events manager at Subtext Books, tells the paper.
"They always talk about make a welcoming environment for retail downtown, and doing stuff like this does not make that the case," the store's manager added.
But people are paying because the city is making plenty of money, particularly since it can get rid of the humans that once patrolled the streets, emptying old meters of coins.
Net revenues this year — calculated after maintenance costs are taken out — are estimated to double over last year, from $1.85 million to roughly $3.73 million, even accounting for an expected lull during winter months.
Remember, that's net revenue — after maintenance costs. And that's despite the fact that city maintenance costs have gone up under the new, card-reading system — though those costs have somewhat leveled in recent years.
In 2010, the cost to maintain meters was about $420,000 — mostly to house and maintain the coin collectors' fleet.
But that shot up to $704,000 in 2013, and an estimated $810,000 this year, with added line items such as Visa and Mastercard service fees, armored car rental and routine maintenance on the new pay systems, including a new staff member.
That's on top of maintaining the old coin-collector fleet. And it also doesn't include the $240,000 it cost last year to install new machines. (In total, about $2 million has been spent thus far on installing the new system.)
The one thriving retail area of the city that doesn't have the new parking meters is Grand Avenue. Businesses fought the proposal last year.
Looking out the window at the World Headquarters of NewsCut, there's another impact of the parking meter cost. More people are parking in others' contract parking spots in private lots and taking their chances.
The mayor's office did not respond to the Pioneer Press' request for comment on its story.

Don't conservatives always say government should be run like a business? Downtown parking is a valuable resource and and failing to monitize it is simply bad business.
Let's not forget that a percentage of those meters each workday are occupied by downtown workers who have handicap permits or plates. They get four hours, then move to another spot for an additional four. That affects revenues too.
STPCommuter
It's very difficult to find a spot on the street near Grand and Victoria. I believe meters would have helped spur turnover.
Jack Ungerleider
I appreciate the downtown meters, particularly in the Rice Park area. If I make a run to the Latimer Central Library to get something specific that I've looked up online, $1 for a half hour at the meter is better than what I'd have to pay in any ramp or lot near by. Especially on a Saturday morning when all the lots/ramps have $5 or $10 event parking.
I know the article is focusing on the rate hikes for parking in St. Paul and not stating that parking should be free, but I think the notion of "free parking" plays a large part in our perception of this issue. The comments from the Pioneer Press article about "free parking" are interesting. If there is no meter at the mall in the suburbs or the restaurant in St. Paul people just don't think about the cost of parking their car. It isn't really free. Land isn't just given out for free to whoever wants it. The mall charges its tenants rent and the parking space is included in that rent. Obviously the store or restaurant then has to use that rental expense to calculate the prices for their goods and services.
I also wonder what the percentage of St. Paul's total revenue the parking meter money is, say the revenue for this year of $3.73 million.
Looks like someone at St. Paul City Hall has been reading streets.mn
http://streets.mn/2015/07/07/how-much-is-saint-paul-leaving-on-the-table-with-its-backward-downtown-parking-policy/
From toward the end of the article:
"I'd say that $1.5M is the low end, and the high end of how much Saint Paul is leaving behind in lost revenue is much higher (maybe double)."
Carlton Schaps
Psst, park on the street for free in the Midway or Frogtown and take the train to downtown. You get exercise walking to and from the train and won't pay more than the price of 2 train rides.


SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. — Snipers perched on rooftops. Police helicopters and drones hovered overhead. Officers in riot gear lined the streets. White nationalists and counterprotesters screamed at each other from fenced-off pens, but the tactics employed by law enforcement at the "White Lives Matter" rally last month in Tennessee might have prevented the kind of mayhem that had erupted at earlier rallies in other states.
Preparing for a speech by white nationalist Richard Spencer on its campus last month, the University of Florida sent a contingent of police officers to Berkeley to learn from the city's experiences.
"We have to be the mediator (for) people's ability to have free speech. But ... what we took away from Berkeley was to act quickly if something violent arose," University of Florida police Chief Linda Stump-Kurnick.
Josh Bronson, training director for the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, began developing a new training program for campus police within days of the Charlottesville violence. One of Bronson's primary messages is that meeting with group leaders on opposing sides of the barricades — before the rallies even begin — can help police avoid violence.
"The more communication that occurs, the more positive the outcome," he said.
At the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville on Aug. 12, white nationalists and counterprotesters converged at an intersection that remained unblocked by barriers or police tape. Officers largely stood and watched as people threw punches, beat each other with clubs, set off smoke bombs and unleashed chemical spray.
The response led to reports that officials had given an explicit "stand-down" order not to intervene, something authorities have vehemently denied. Charlottesville police Chief Al Thomas said white nationalists didn't comply with a security plan that police had devised to keep them separated from counterprotesters. Virginia's governor and other officials defended the response, saying police had to show restraint because the crowd was heavily armed.
A consultant hired by the state to review the day's events, however, issued a preliminary report last month that said the city "placed minimal/no restrictions on the demonstrators." It also found that many recommendations the state made to the city ahead of the event "were not accepted."
"We will not allow things to get out of hand," Durham said before the rally, where seven people were arrested but nobody was injured.
The list of items banned from last month's rally in Shelbyville, Tennessee, included weapons, bottles, backpacks, purses, masks, sticks and poles. A new Tennessee law enacted this year at the behest of the National Rifle Association prohibits local governments from banning people with state-issued handgun carry permits from being armed at any site that does not screen with metal detectors. To comply with that law while trying to ensure public safety, officials herded white nationalists and counterprotesters through airport-like security checkpoints staffed by an officer with a handheld metal detector.
White nationalist blogger Brad Griffin, who helped organize the rally, said the measures delayed the event's start by more than an hour but probably prevented violence.
"I'm not going to complain," Griffin said. "I'd much rather have to deal with that than what we did in Charlottesville."
Only minor skirmishes were reported on the University of Florida's Gainesville campus when Spencer spoke there last month. But three of his supporters were arrested on attempted-murder charges after an off-campus shooting later that day.
Alex Vitale, a Brooklyn College sociology professor who has studied the policing of protests for two decades, said law enforcement authorities need a "flexible, mobile response" that allows officers to prevent or quickly end clashes on the outskirts of rally sites.
"Police need to have a presence in these groups as they're moving around," he said.

Chris Bosh hasn't played since February.
The Miami Heat begin the second round of the playoffs Tuesday night when they take on the Toronto Raptors.
And by all measures, it appears they will do so without the help of perhaps their best player, Chris Bosh, who has been out since the All-Star break.
Bosh was set to play in the All-Star game when reports indicated that there was a blood clot found in his leg. Bosh missed the second half of the 2014-15 season when doctors found blood clots in his lungs.
Since, there's been almost no update on Bosh. The Heat initially said he's out "indefinitely" while Bosh put out a statement in March saying he felt confident he would be back this season. The Heat have not updated his status.
Now. according to reports from several insiders, there's an "awkward" and "unusual" standoff taking place between Bosh and the team.
On April 28, ESPN's Brian Windhorst was on the "TrueHoop" podcast and spoke about Bosh's status.
"Chris Bosh wants to play," Windhorst said. "Chris Bosh wants to be freed up to help the team, and the Heat have not said anything publicly. I have not seen a situation where a star player has been out for months, and the team has never said a word publicly about it. According to the Heat, they've never even declared what his issue is, publicly."
Windhorst continued, noting that it may be a money issue relating to whether it's safe to let Bosh play.
"If Chris Bosh is going to never be cleared by the Heat doctors to play in the NBA again, because he has what we believe is a blood-clotting issue, then it behooves the Heat to not play him, because it enables them to get him off their books faster."
Windhorst said he believes the Heat have Bosh's best interests in mind, but not updating his status has been strange. ESPN's Tom Haberstroh on the podcast called the silence "awkward."
Then, on Tuesday, May 3, Windhorst appeared on ESPN's "Mike and Mike" and elaborated further that playing Bosh could be potentially life-threatening.
"Of course the Heat would love to have [Bosh] back, but you just can't play when you're on blood-thinners, you just can't. And from what I understand, the Heat believe that there's no team in the league that would play Chris Bosh under the circumstances that he's facing right now.
"Having somebody who's had a blood clot before, the medication, it works, it's life-saving medication, but the side effects make it impossible to play. If you get elbowed in the side of the head, you can get in a situation where you die from bleeding inside your brain."
Similarly, ESPN's Dan Le Batard said that it's strange to see a team acting in a player's best interest against the player's wishes.
"I can't think of a lot of instances where a sports organization is acting in what appears to be the best interests of the player, over their own interests, and against the will of the player," Le Batard said.
"Chris Bosh wants back on the court, and now. Wants to get back to the Miami Heat. And the Miami Heat, on medical advice, are saying 'Absolutely not. No.' They're paying him, they need him, they badly want to get to an Eastern Conference Finals against LeBron. And they're telling him, 'No, you cannot work.'"
Le Batard called it a "conflict", adding, "it promises to get a little bit messier."
While it appears that the Heat are trying to protect Bosh, what makes the standoff unusual is that Bosh appears to want to get back on the court.
After the Heat lost Games 3 and 4 of the first-round series against the Charlotte Hornets, Bosh's wife, Adrienne, took to Twitter, promoting a hasthag "#bringboshback" to bring the power forward back to the court. Bosh himself then posted a video of him hitting a three-pointer in a gym, with the caption "Still got it."
As Windhorst and Le Batard hint, it's a complicated matter that could get more tangled. Bosh signed a five-year, $118 million with the Heat in 2014. He's owed a lot of money over the next three seasons, particularly for a player, who, to date, hasn't been able to finish a season the last two years. The Heat certainly have to weigh the business side of things, but all reports suggest they are also looking out for Bosh.
However, their business interests need to be weighed against Bosh's desires. If Bosh has any legitimate argument that he can come back and play, it may raise eyebrows over the Heat's intentions. But if Bosh is putting himself in a dangerous situation by trying to play through blood clots or while taking blood-thinners, the Heat are right to play it safe.

Is Your Kid a Clever Chemist? They Will Be After Exploring These Tools!
On May 27, 2014 by Matt Doyle
Chemistry is an important subject for all sorts of reasons. It explains what happens when you cook food; it helps you understand what is in all those household cleaners and shampoos that you buy; and it gives you some insight into the processes inside your own body.
Chemistry studies the nature of matter, and how it interacts with other matter. Many people describe chemistry as "the central science", because it links physical sciences, such as physics and astronomy, with other branches of science, such as engineering, biology and medicine.
Most importantly, though, chemistry can be enormous fun for kids, because it involves bright colours, goo, pongy smells, flashes and bangs!
In this article you'll take a look through some great tools and technologies that can kindle your kid's interest in chemistry, from cool experiments you can do in the kitchen through to amazing apps, games and videos that your kid will love. Enjoy!
Learn chemistry online
There are some excellent online resources that your kid can use to learn the basics of chemistry.
A good place to start is CHEM4KIDS, which introduces all the important concepts of chemistry in an easy-to-understand way. It covers the states of matter, atoms, reactions, and the first 36 elements. It also has an interactive periodic table that you can click to explore each element. CHEM4KIDS uses lots of illustrations and some videos to teach the concepts in a way that's both fun and engaging.
CHEM4KIDS uses lots of great illustrations to explain the basic concepts of chemistry.
For a more interactive learning experience, check out Mocomi's Chemistry for Kids, which has a range of videos, slideshows and interactive movies that are fun to watch, organised by age range. Here's a video explaining how batteries work:
Science Kids offers lots of different ways to explore the basics of chemistry, including home experiments, videos, games, quizzes and fun facts, as well as more structured lesson plans.
Finally, About.com's Chemistry section is a huge resource for learning chemistry. You'll find everything from a good basic introduction through to a whole chemistry for kids section, homework help, homeschool chemistry resources, tons of chemistry facts and a range of quizzes and tests.
Fun experiments to try
There are lots and lots of simple, entertaining chemistry experiments that your kid can do in the kitchen (just make sure they help with cleaning up afterwards!).
Steve Spangler has a fantastic range of easy, at-home chemistry experiments, most of which you can do using materials from around your house. Kids are sure to love the edible slime and fake blood, and learn a lot from the CO2 fire extinguisher and flame test experiments. And don't forget to check out the famous Naked Egg! The experiments are explained using an easy-to-follow recipe format, and many feature pictures and videos too.
Learn how to make an impressive carbon dioxide fire extinguisher in this Steve Spangler video.
Meanwhile, PBS Kids has a Kitchen Chemistry mini-site that's great for younger kids. In the Virtual Kitchen, your kid will solve puzzles and do experiments to learn about acids, bases and chemical reactions. Then, in the Reality Kitchen, they get to try out a couple of the experiments for real.
Chemistry Calendar is a YouTube channel with lots of experiments you can try at home, such as making glue, batteries, soap and lava lamps. The videos are well produced and easy to follow.
About.com Chemistry comes up trumps once again, with a list of chemistry projects for bored kids, chemistry projects you can do at home, and lots of videos showing chemistry experiments in action.
Finally, want chemistry experiments without the mess? There's an app for that! Chemist is an iPad app that simulates a real chemistry lab. You can place a beaker on a tripod, add some solids and liquids, give the mixture a stir, and place a burner underneath to heat it up. It's pretty realistic, and contains a big range of elements and compounds to play with.
THIX's Chemist app lets you play with all sorts of dangerous chemicals without blowing up half your kitchen.
Learn about the elements
A good knowledge of the chemical elements and the Periodic Table is fundamental to understanding chemistry. Fortunately, there are some fantastic websites and apps that can help your kid learn about the elements in fun, entertaining ways.
My personal favourite is The Elements: A Visual Exploration. This iPad app ain't cheap, but the level of detail in the app makes it worth it. You're presented with the entire periodic table containing an animated image of every element. Tap an element to explore it in detail. You can drag the 3D image around to view the element from all sides, and view a detailed info page on the element, along with lots more images that you can zoom into and rotate.
The Elements includes the periodic table, with each element spinning in place in gorgeous detail.
Each element's page contains a lot of detailed information, as well as lots of 3D images that you can spin and zoom in on.
The app even includes the famous Elements Song, with each element added to the table as it is sung. It's great fun, and kept my seven-year-old fascinated for ages.
If your budget doesn't stretch that far, there is a more affordable companion app, The Elements in Action. This app makes the elements come to life, with 79 videos of elements "doing their stuff". Watch what happens when rubidium is dropped into water (spoiler: it goes bang!), or when liquid nitrogen is poured onto a lake.
There are also a couple of great free periodic table apps. The Periodic Table Project marries science and art to produce an interactive periodic table, with each element's image drawn by chemistry students and enthusiasts. The history and a brief description of each element are included.
The Periodic Table Project presents an attractive periodic table using artwork created by students.
The somewhat plainer, but equally informative K12 Periodic Table of the Elements has useful data on every element, and makes a great reference for school studies.
There are also various online interactive periodic tables that are pretty useful for reference, such as WebElements, which includes lots of information on each element's properties, history and usage.
Chemistry videos to amaze and inform
Often the best way to understand chemistry is to see it in action. There are many excellent videos out there, ranging from lectures to experiments and demonstrations, that can really inspire your kid.
The Royal Institution has a series of entertaining Christmas Lectures by Dr Peter Wothers called The Modern Alchemist. There are three hour-long lectures: Earth, Water and Air. Dr Wothers explores various elements and compounds, with many exciting demonstrations involving members of the audience!
Another great lecture from the RI is Chemical Curiosities, in which Professor Chris Bishop dramatically demonstrates chemical reactions, acids and bases, colour changes, state changes, explosions, flashes and all sorts of other fun stuff:
The RI has also produced a cool video series called My Favourite Element, in which various eminent scientists discuss the elements they love, and why they love them.
Finally, Periodic Videos is an excellent YouTube channel covering all things chemical. There's a video about each and every element in the Periodic Table, some interesting experiments, and news and nuggets from the world of chemistry. For example, here's a video talking about the element titanium:
Cool chemistry books for kids
Finally, if your kid likes to curl up with a good book, there are some excellent introductions available, including the following:
The Periodic Table: Elements with Style! takes a fun, cartoony approach to explaining the most common elements.
Chemistry: Getting a Big Reaction, by the same authors, explains the basics of chemistry: the states of matter, Brownian motion, elements, compounds and more.
Chemistry for Every Kid: 101 Easy Experiments that Really Work is a fantastic collection of chemistry experiments your kid can carry out at home, using simple household ingredients.
DK Eyewitness Books: Chemistry uses gorgeous photographs and clearly-written text to explain the origins, history and importance of chemistry.
Finally, Amazing Kitchen Chemistry Projects You Can Build Yourself does a good job of explaining chemistry concepts while showing your kid how to make goo, create yummy treats, and have a lot of fun in the kitchen.
With Amazing Kitchen Chemistry Projects, your kid can learn chemistry and have fun at the same time!
I hope this article has given you a good idea of the wealth of chemistry resources out there for kids. Thanks to the internet, apps and other digital technologies, there's a huge number of ways that your kid can learn about chemistry.
Do you know of any other great chemistry resources for kids? I'd love to hear them. Please let me know in the comments below. Thanks for reading! 🙂

After a round of golf, you return to your ship. This evening offers an included excursion to attend the "Sound of Vienna" and listen to the "Alt Wien" orchestra play popular pieces from Vienna's classical era - a perfect end to your Vienna experience.
Fontana Golf Club's championship course promises an unforgettable golfing experience. Situated about 30 kilometers south of Vienna, the golf course is set in a lush natural setting and offers a view of the Schneeberg, the highest mountain in Lower Austria, and the foothills of the Viennese Forest. Conceptualized by the well-known Canadian architect Doug Carrick, the layout and design of the golf course provides players with a top-class, international golfing experience that is both challenging and fair. The course opened for play in 1996 and, from 2006 to 2009, hosted the European Tour in Austria and has since been considered one of the best golfing locations in Austria and Europe. Due to constant improvements and renovation, the Fontana course is expected to become one of the top 10 golf courses in Europe. The exciting 18-hole course will challenge players with its numerous bunkers and water hazards, combined with some easier holes to give a satisfying, well-rounded experience.
Stay Vienna
"Sound of Vienna" classical concert (cat. B)
In the very place where Johann Strauss himself once directed his orchestra from his position as first violin, the true essence of Vienna's classical music can once again be heard daily. The "Salonorchester Alt Wien", one of the best-known interpreters of classical Viennese music, presents an evening full of Viennese charm with the lilting sound of waltzes, polkas, arias and duets, as well as operetta and piano concert melodies. Accompanied by excellent opera singers and enchanting ballet soloists, Vienna's classical music reveals itself as a living firework display for the senses.

While the hilly terrain and many water hazards of the Kamptal course allow long tees, the Donauland course presents a more athletic challenge with its slanted areas and narrow first 9 fairways. A specialty at Lengenfeld Golf Club is the Golf Vinarium. Each tee is assigned an Austrian grape wine variety, turning the course into an educational wine trail that ends at the clubhouse. The practice area offers golfers a driving range with 40 range tees, practice bunkers and a putt and pitch area.
Optional golf club trip needs to be booked 1 month before departure.
Dürnstein walking tour and wine tasting
Start your excursion in Dürnstein, one of the best-known wine villages in the Wachau.

Your guide will show you the picturesque old town, the town walls and the Pranger Square with its lovely view of the castle ruins. You will walk along the Convent of Klarissen, past the baroque monastery and after a walk through the pedestrian area, to the charming Hotel Schloss Dürnstein. The journey then continues to a Wachau winegrower, where you will be able to sample a selection of the region's outstanding wines.

Picturesquely situated in the peaceful Bavarian countryside, the Quellness Golf Resort features the distinguished, 18-hectar Beckenbauer Golf Course, a championship course designed by renowned golfer Bernhard Lange. This exclusive course is one of the select few to host PGA European Tour events, specifically the Challenge Tour, which was held here from 2013 to 2015.

The course has been praised by some of the world's foremost players for its technical challenges as well as its impeccable condition. The flat but varied terrain incorporates a multitude of water hazards, such as streams, flood plains, and lakes, and requires golfers to play a precise game.

Situated at the foothills of the majestic Bavarian Forest, the Regensburg Golf and Country Club is a truly princely estate, complete with a clubhouse dating back to 1885, which was a former hunting lodge of the Counts of Thurn and Taxis. The Regensburg Golf Club first opened in 1966 with a temporary, 4-hole course. In 1968, famous golf architect Donald Harradine designed a 9-hole course, which he extended by another 9 holes in 1981. In 2000, the course was modernized by Thomas Himmel, who ensured that it meets modern playing requirements. However, the course's distinctive English parkland character, which it retains, is the work of Harradine. The grounds boast trees of up to 300 years old and offer spectacular views of the Danube valley. The undulating terrain and the water hazards present both a challenge to players as well as a feast of natural beauty. Among the club's achievements is its membership as one of the Leading Golf Courses of Germany.</span>

Regensburg walking tour
Regensburg is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Germany and its historic buildings are very impressive. Among these architectural treasures are churches, monasteries, the town hall and one of Europe's oldest bridges that has spanned the Danube since the 12th century. During this walk you will feel the former power and wealth of this city, which once controlled the trade route to the Orient.
During a short visit to the Regensburg Cathedral, dedicated to St. Peter, you can admire this masterpiece of Gothic architecture in southern Germany (Visits depend on the opening hours of the Cathedral and/or if a mass is celebrated, etc.).
Danube gorge and Weltenburg abbey with beer tasting
A coach brings you to Weltenburg, with a brief detour to the "Hall of Liberation", a historical, classical monument on Mount Michelsberg, above the city of Kelheim. This impressive marble building is fashioned after the Parthenon in Athens. It towers high above the Danube and can be seen from afar. Afterwards, board an excursion boat which will take you past the former city of the Wittelsbacher Dynasty and through the nature reserve "Weltenburger Enge" to the Benedictine abbey of Weltenburg. The monastery, founded by Irish or Scottish monks in about 620 AD, is the oldest monastery in Bavaria.

Selected Golf Clubs
The Pannónia Golf and Country Club is picturesquely situated in a valley bordering the Etyek wine region, east of the Hungarian capital Budapest. The 18-hole championship course was designed by the prominent Austrian architect Hans G. Erhardt and opened in 1996. Since then, it has staged many national and international events, including tournaments such as the BMW Golf Cup International and events sanctioned by the European Golf Association (EGA). The elegant clubhouse was designed by famous Hungarian neoclassical architect Mihály Pollack and blends beautifully with the wine-growing scenery. On the course, idyllic lakes serve as obstacles for eight holes. Doglegs provide suspense at holes 9 and 11 and pin placements may also present a challenge at the hilly greens. The immaculately maintained course meets the highest European
standards and offers players both a technically challenging as well as an optically appealing experience with its combination of beautiful vegetation, water hazards and sand bunkers.

You know those certain people in your life that you can talk to forever?
Anytime you find yourself in dialogue with that person, you never run out of things to talk about, there are no awkward moments, and you feel connected, excited and rejuvenated.
That is the exact feeling you want each of your website visitors to experience.
But how do you make that happen when your job is to simply publish content on your site and hope for the best?
One way is to offer your users a variety of visual elements throughout your site pages for maximum connection.
What's one of the most important things you want to consider when it comes to best SEO practices?
This fancy word simply means giving your visitors, users, and potential clients exactly what they are looking for once they arrive on your website.
Google takes 'engagement' seriously since it's a strong indication from your site visitor that they are consuming and enjoying your web page.
And since, only moments before, Google recommended that very web page of yours by placing it high in the search results, this 'dialogue' between the user and Google is a positive one.
By remaining on your website, Google learns that the page they are on is valuable for their original search term.
Remember this: Google does not make the final decision as to where your pages rank in the search results. Google 'listens to and sees' what your visitors are doing on your web pages to best determine where to pace your web pages for any given term.
Only then does Google make the decision where you rank — based on the history of what your users are doing on your website.
Are your users spending TIME on your website?
Are your users visiting PAGES on your website?
Are your users SHARING your content with their friends?
So, how do you make certain that the majority of your website visitors are finding what they are looking for, and enjoying what they are seeing?
Let's break down 'Engagement' even more.
What's the best case scenario you want to happen with your website.
You want to land new, happy, lifelong pet sitting clients, right?
How does that path happen?
*A pet parent in need of your service will head over to Google and search.
*Your website shows up high in the search results.
*Search user clicks through to your website and formulates an immediate impression on how they feel about you and your business.
*Potential client feels that you completely and fully understand her needs and is excited to have found you.
*New client gets in touch and you WOW her over the phone, via email, and in person!
Surely, none of things happen by accident. You must deliberately position yourself in the best possible way to assure each of those points above happen.
One of the ways you achieve this is by providing your users a plethora of visual elements on your page.
Google wants to see that, because your visitors want to see that.
Please note this is not about adding clutter to your pages. It's about adding visual clarity to your pages.
While it's fine to have posts and articles with paragraphs of texts only, you want to get into the habit of adding a combination of good looking photos, YouTube videos, audio broadcasts, and/or fun and relevant images, quotes, or other visual graphics.
The idea is to keep your visitors involved, connected, entertained, and educated.
This very article should also serve as a working sample of a post that contains various elements to keep you engaged.
Another way to do more good for your website visitors is to add video.
But what about adding a video transcript to the mix?
A video transcript is literally simply the written version of the content of the video.
In this video, I detail a handful of ways you can get your videos transcribed for very affordable prices.
Plus, the actual video transcript I provide below is the exact transcript I paid someone on Fiverr to deliver for a total cost of $5.
I received the transcript in less than 24 hours, and it was delivered perfectly in a Word document.
Hey there! It's Josh Cary with Pet Sitting ology keeping the topic in conversation about shooting video, making videos.
One of the logical questions I've now been asked is: "Hey, how do you transcribe your videos?" because as you see on the page here in this blog post, I have my video embedded and then I follow it up with a video transcript right here, which is a good practice because Google wants to be able to see a video on your page and then also be able to index some very good, original, unique, invaluable content.
But it also helps your user because not everybody wants to sit and watch or listen to the video. Maybe they'll push play, follow along for a little bit and it's very helpful for them to scan your transcript.
So, how do you do it? Well, just like anything else in life and in business, you have to decide whether you want to pay somebody to do it or you want to spend your time and do it yourself.
I'm gonna show you a couple of options in each category.
If you want to pay somebody to transcribe it for you, the general fee you can expect to pay is about 1 dollar per minute of audio or video. You also will see ways to get it for even cheaper than that.
Here are a couple of options. You go over to rev.com which is a popular professional transcription service. This service is 1 dollar per minute with a 48 hour turnaround.
Another popular service is called Speechpad. This too is a dollar a minute but they say for that fee it's one week turnaround.
I have also had luck getting transcriptions for my lengthier podcasts or my lengthier video hangouts on oDesk for typically about 50 cents a minute. So you can do a search on oDesk for transcription and then find somebody who has good reviews, many hours logged on oDesk and a good hourly rate. Send them an email to determine how much they will charge for your specific transcription.
Also, you can look on fiverr for transcription service. Here for example, a quick search for transcribe shows that for 5 dollars this person will transcribe 15 minutes of video, this person will transcribe 10 minutes of video so this is about 50 cents a minute, this is about 33 cents a minute.
With your research you can typically get very decent transcriptions for a few dollars if you're shooting five-minute videos.
Finally I'm gonna show you something very exciting that I discovered recently for those of you that actually want to save the money but invest your own time in transcribing your own videos.
Go over to YouTube. Go over to your YouTube video that you're looking to transcribe and something you might not know about is this transcript button under every video. Look what happens when you click on this. It pulls up an entire time stamped transcript of your video.
Now, a few things to keep in mind here. This is not done by a human, by a person. It's done automatically through YouTube via a program. What does that mean? Well, in part it's not going to be 100% accurate. I actually used this method on this transcription here and it was about 90 to 95% accurate but it took me probably 15 or 20 minutes to clean it up and get it where I want it to be.
So what do you do? Well, first you have to copy and paste all of this so you would highlight your video, you will copy it and then you can paste it into a Word document or a text document like I did here.
So when you paste it you'll see that you're gonna get text that you have to clean up so you're gonna have to spend some time removing the timestamp on each line and then you're gonna have to spend some time figuring out the line breaks and then you're going to go through it and clean it up but again, this took me about 15-20 minutes so this is an option for those of you that want to transcribe yourself and not pay somebody to do it for you.
So there you go. You have your two options. You can either find a worthy service to transcribe your videos and audio for a dollar or less per minute or you can spend the time to do it yourself.
Either way I think transcribing videos is a wonderful way to go and something you should look into.
As always, happy to keep the conversation going. Send me your videos and we'll talk to you soon. Thanks for watching.
The video transcription you see above is a real, unaltered example of what I received in a Word document from someone I hired from Fiverr.
I wanted to specifically hire someone to transcribe the video I did on the topic of transcription and show you the real results.
I hired the woman from the gig in the screenshot above. It cost me a total of $5 and I received the transcription in less than 24 hours. You can get in touch with her gig here.
What do you think makes for a solid user experience? Can you see how adding a variety of appropriate elements to your page, makes for a win? What do you prefer seeing on a website? Tell us in the comments below.
