6 Unconventional Hacks to Help You Get Better Sleep Tonight
You know the no screen time rule, but what about these other all-natural sleep aids?
Megan Madden
Sleep is one of the most confounding phenomenons of our existence. Every single one of us needs sleep to recharge and stay healthy. But despite its necessary function in our lives, even the top researchers are often flummoxed by it.
William Dement, the retired dean of sleep studies at Stanford University, a co-discoverer of REM sleep, and co-founder of the Stanford Sleep Medicine Center, was asked by National Geographic what his 50 years of research taught him about the reasons behind sleep. His answer might make you laugh—or cringe.
"As far as I know," Dement said, "the only reason we need to sleep that is really, really solid is because we get sleepy."
That's that, folks. We can go on and on about the astounding bodily functions that happen while we snooze (like how our brain uses that time to commit important things to memory and forget the rest) or about how much our health depends on it (like regulating the body's hormones), but at the end of the day—we just need to sleep. Whether we understand why or not.
It's important to note, however, that all sleep is not created equal. If you want to help yourself reap the benefits of quality shut-eye, try putting these simple tips to good use.
01. Keep Your Rhythm In Check
When the weekend rolls around it's all too tempting to stay up late watching movies and sleep in equally as late the next day. But as liberating as this may seem in the moment, disrupting your body's sleep schedule can have nightmarish effects.
Our sleep patterns and circadian clock need to work in tandem. When you switch up your routine a couple days a week, you're causing a bit of a shock to your system, which could result simply in grogginess, but it could also lead to depression, according to a PBS report. "It's better to not sleep in on the weekends and then take an afternoon nap," says psychologist Brant Hasler of the University of Pittsburgh, who studies how sleep and circadian rhythms influence reward seeking.
It's also a good idea to use the 90-minute rule. Since REM cycles happen in hour-and-a-half intervals, if you plan your night's sleep according to how many 90 minute segments you can fit in so that you're waking up at the end of one of one rather than mid-REM, you'll be nurturing your natural clock.
02. Change Your Sleep Attitude
Ever found yourself unable to fall asleep at night? Of course you have. For some of us, it's a rare occurrence. For others—the insomniacs among us—it's chronic. Usually tossing and turning results in torturous midnight hours spent imploring ourselves to fall asleep or fretting about how tired we're going to be tomorrow. But all that huffing and puffing ultimately works against us.
The answer, according to The New York Times, could be Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. A growing trend in the sleep world, CBT means restructuring your reactions to sleep—replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. Instead of "I'll never fall asleep!" tell yourself, "I will eventually fall asleep." Instead of "I'm going to be a zombie tomorrow," remind yourself of how you've functioned on little sleep before and been fine. Feeling more at peace with what's happening will make your body more relaxed and able to rest.
03. Let One Foot Out From Under The Covers
You may have thought this was just some weird sleep habit you developed in childhood, but a lot of us tend to keep five, if not all ten, of our little piggies out in the open at night. Speaking to the Science of Us, Natalie Dautovitch, a spokesperson for the National Sleep Foundation and a psychology professor at the University of Alabama, said there's good reason for this.
Temperature is hugely important to sleep. While we sleep our body cools, ultimately to about two degrees below our normal waking temps. According to Dautovitch, coolness encourages sleepiness, so our inclination to uncover our feet is really an effort to encourage ourselves into sleep. Our hands and feet "contain specialized vascular structures that help with heat loss," she says. "Sticking your toe out or your foot out could bring you to a more restorative sleep."
04. Assess What's Under You
If you're sleeping on some hand-me-down cushion from your parent's spare bedroom, the time for change is now. We spend a third of our life sleeping, most of that on our home bed, so a little investment will more than pay for itself.
Consider a mattress with ergonomics in mind, like the mattresses from OSO. One study from the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine surveyed participants' sleep after they were given new, medium-firm foam-based mattresses to replace their old ones, which were, on average, 9.5 years old. The results of the study indicated that participants' sleep quality "significantly improved" immediately. What's more, stress symptoms measured through questionnaires were "significantly reduced" after 4 weeks of sleeping on the new surface.
OSO allows you to define firmness for yourself by offering a gradient system that ranges from softer at one end to firmer at the other. A quick rotation of the bed lets you target your body's unique pressure points with softer or firmer support. Long story short, having a well-designed mattress is not a decision to sleep on (har har) and forget about it—it should be top priority!
05. Think Of Sleeping Like Flying
Perhaps you took an overseas trip this summer. If you did, you likely experienced the unfortunate fatigue brought on by jetlag. According to The Atlantic, "for each hour spent in a plane, a person needs approximately the same number of days to fully recover from jetlag." Sleep—or rather missing out on sleep—requires a similar recuperation plan.
If you think you can make up for a late weeknight once the weekend rolls around, think again. Your "sleep debt," as many refer to it, can't be repaid in lump sums. Instead, it's best to make up for lost time in small increments over several nights. If you lost out on five hours, you need to sleep one extra hour over the course of five days. Even if your sleep debt is huge, you should make every effort to prioritize your sleep! The smaller the deficit, the better.
06. Get Rid of the Blue
We've heard it 1,000 times, but it bears repeating—electronics are a non-starter for sleep. The blue light that emits from all those screens disrupts our body's melatonin production which aids in falling asleep. This no-screen rule should extend to your alarm clock too. Not only should you probably not be using your smartphone's alarm, but if your standalone alarm clock is giving off even a weak light, it could be hindering your sleep success too.
Ditching screens isn't the only bygone era resurrection that could rid you of counting sheep. Jennifer Adams, a sleep environmentalist, designer, entrepreneur and author of the book Bedrooms That Inspire: Rest, Relaxation & Romance, told The Huffington Post that we should bring standard lightbulbs back. LED bulbs mimic daylight. That's awesome most of the time, but when you're about to go to sleep, the last thing you want is your brain to be picking up on "daytime" signals. Says Adams: "I recommend that everyone keep their bedrooms, especially the bedside lamps, with just a regular, old-fashioned halogen or incandescent light bulb with that soft, warm light."
Sleep isn't just a life necessity; for many of us, it's a ritual. We love slipping into fresh sheets, snuggling up with a fluffy pillow, and drifting off into a state of restoration on our hibernation-inducing mattress. Just like anything else you do for your wellbeing, let sleep be something that you both intentionally practice and also enjoy. You'll be happier and healthier for it!

You Get What You Pay for at Clothingline's $10 Sale
By Racked Staff Sep 10, 2013, 5:08pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: You Get What You Pay for at Clothingline's $10 Sale
We've seen people make all kinds of mistakes at sample sales. Whether it be not bringing water to wait in line in 100 degree weather, or forgetting to charge their phones in anticipation of a four-hour wait, we thought we'd seen it all. We would never have thought we would find ourselves stranded at the Clothingline $10 sale without a credit card. That said, we weren't too distraught when we had to put down our Ikea bag and let other ladies take their pick with our finds.
If the Alexander Wang clothing giveaway and the most recent Theory sale had a baby, it would be this sale. The crowd was eager to sift through the merchandise, but not overly manic. Theory took up most of the sale, with merchandise from Free People, Gryphon, Bibelot, Helmut Lang, and Comptoir des Cotonniers lining the edges of the space. The staff wasn't kidding about a "limited selection" for men. There were only around four racks near the entrance with Theory shirts and pants for the gents.
Most of the Theory merchandise consists of pants, but with no try-ons allowed, they weren't getting a lot of attention. There were also some unappetizing accessories in the plastic bins. Rosette clutches and Free People tights in hunter green and fuchsia were largely ignored even though they were only $1 each.
Inspect your purchases carefully, because a lot of the merchandise has stains, rips, pulls, or holes in them. One particular snagtastic Theysken's Theory dress inspired many a "make it work" moment. No joke, we saw one lady tugging and pulling on the dress for a good 15 minutes.
Most shoppers weren't daunted by the sale organizers' threats to take stuff from you if they caught you hoarding. They congregated in the middle of the sale space to apply the "Would you wear this if you had gotten it at full price" test to their bags of merchandise.
Despite the rampant hoarding, most shoppers only ended up checking out around ten items each. However, when we left the sale there were still at least 100 people waiting to get in. With no restocking, we doubt there will be anything left for the after work crowd. Unless you're in the market for Theory pants. The one-day sale closes at 8pm tonight. —Joy Fan

WINNING! US Military Members to Receive BIGGEST Pay Bump Since 2010
FEATURED, MILITARY NEWS, POLITICAL NEWS
By Lauren Richardson
Military members will see their paychecks rise this week by the largest percent increase since 2010 and they have President Donald Trump to thank for it.
At the end of December, President Donald Trump, by way of executive order, mandated a 2.4% pay hike for uniformed service members and a 1.9% raise for federal workers. The Trump administration's initial budget blueprint called for a 2.1% pay increase, while the House and Senate suggested the 2.4% figure, which was eventually adopted by the president.
In 2017, the Obama administration issued a 2.1% increase. This year's raise will be the largest for the military since 2010, when wages jumped 3.4% under the previous administration.
The new pay increase went into effect on Jan. 1, however, this is the first full week that paychecks will reflect the higher amounts. The raise is in line with private sector wage growth, according to Militarybenefits.com.
Even though Trump signed the raises into law through the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in December, the government still needs to agree on how to fund the act during the budget process, since it is over the cap imposed by the defense sequester. With a Friday deadline looming for Congress to reach a deal to keep the government funded, the military stands to be impacted by a potential shutdown in a number of ways.
If the government fails to pass a budget by midnight on Friday, both civilian and active troop members are unlikely to receive paychecks. Active duty members are expected to continue to perform their tasks and all civilian personnel who are essential to supporting them will also be required to go to work.
The government is currently funded through a temporary continuing resolution (CR), which was passed to avoid a government shutdown on Dec. 21. The CR allows for the continuation of funding levels as stipulated under the fiscal year 2017 budget. – Fox Business reports.

Pinterest's Big IPO Bet is E-Commerce: Can It Beat Instagram and Amazon?
Joseph Young in Business News & Opinions March 24, 2019, 10:46 AM
Pintrest is the latest tech platform to file for an initial public offering (IPO) with US regulators. | Source: Shutterstock
Pinterest, one of the most widely utilized photos sharing platforms for content creators, artists, and casual users, has filed its S-1 form to conduct an initial public offering (IPO). In its post-IPO era,
Pinterest is reportedly planning to expand into the e-commerce market, competing against the likes of Instagram, Amazon, and Walmart.
Depending on the success of its initiative to create an e-commerce-enabled platform, Pinterest may be able to secure a new source of revenue it is yet to touch upon.
"We are in the early stages of our monetization efforts, and there is no assurance we will be able to scale our business for future growth," the company stated.
In 2017, the company was valued at $12.3 billion. Since then, the revenue of Pinterest has increased by $482.8 million to $755.9 million, securing a user base of 265 million last year.
Will Pinterest be Able to Compete Against Instagram and Amazon?
Earlier this week, Instagram integrated a new feature into its platform for users in the U.S., allowing users to purchase products directly from the app.
Through machine learning, Instagram detects products featured in photos uploaded by users on the platform, simplifying the process of users in searching and purchasing the products.
"From a consumer perspective, we're out to build a complete shopping experience," Vishal Shah, Instagram's head of product, said.
According to Michael Kors social media director Linz Shelton, ever since the inception of Instagram, users have been using the platform to discover and purchase products such as clothes and other fashion-related items.
"Allowing for direct purchases is a natural extension of how the social-media platform has been used. Since Instagram came out, people have been using it as a shopping platform whether it was conceived in that way or not," Shelton added.

Analysts have suggested that the introduction of Instagram's new feature would provide an additional source of revenue for the social media giant, increasing the stability and sustainability of the company.
Pinterest is eyeing a similar result with a similar strategy and it is in an ideal position to appeal to users as an e-commerce platform due to the popularity of the platform amongst users interested in fashion and design.
From food to furniture, as shown in Pinterest's top 100 interests in 2019, the topics users have shown interest towards throughout the past year have been truly diverse.

Hence, Pinterest may be able to sufficiently differentiate its business model from Instagram by pivoting to an e-commerce feature for a wide range of products in areas including food, interior design, fashion, and many others.
In the near-term, Instagram is said to be focusing on clothing products and working with companies like Nike.
What Does This Do For Amazon?
Amazon has diversified its revenues across a variety of services including Prime, Amazon Web Services, and daily grocery delivery.
Many companies in both the technology and retail market are betting big on machine learning and artificial intelligence to compete against Amazon and acquire some of the market share in the e-commerce sector.
While it remains uncertain whether the demand for online shopping on social media platforms could rise to an extent in which it begins to affect online sales of Amazon, Pinterest and Instagram are both eyeing to secure a niche market that is certainly scalable in the months to come.

October 31, 2007 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - Citing "poor conditions in the debt financing markets", private equity firm Cerebrus Capital Management has withdrawn its offer to acquire HRO outsourcing firm ACS.
In a letter to ACS' board of directors Cerebrus said, "We are very impressed with the management, business and opportunities of Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (the "Company") and continue to believe that the Company represents an attractive investment opportunity. We regret that we must withdraw our offer to acquire the Company due to the continuation of poor conditions in the debt financing markets." A copy of the letter was included in an SEC filing , published today.
Earlier this year, Darwin Deason and Cerberus Capital Management offered to buy ACS for about $6 billion ($62/share, versus trading at about $50/share today – see HRO Provider Buyout Offer Proposed ). Deason, founder of ACS, controls about 42% of ACS shares, according to the Wall Street Journal (he owns about 5%, but maintains about a 40% control over the company via a special supervoting class of stock). ACS eventually assembled a committee of independent directors, who were charged with negotiating with the buyers, while seeking potentially higher bids for the Dallas-based ACS, which also owns Buck Consultants.

Q: How to view method signatures when Objc-C is bridged to Swift and vice versa? If I've got some Obj-C code and I'm calling this from Swift code, or I've got some Swift code that I'm calling from Objective-C. Then how can I see what the method signature for these look like.
I've done this before and remember there being an Xcode generated bridging header that contains the bridged method signatures.
But I just can't find this at all now. I seem to remember it getting generated into the derived data folder, but I just can't find it anywhere at all.
Thanks

A: To see how an Objective-C interface is imported into Swift, select the header file and choose "Generated Interface" from the "Related Items" button:

Example: OClass.h:
NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_BEGIN

@interface OClass : NSObject

- (void)bar:(NSString *)string;

@end

NS_ASSUME_NONNULL_END

Generated interface:
open class OClass : NSObject {
    open func bar(_ string: String)
}

To see how a Swift class is mapped to Objective-C, select a Swift file and choose "Generated Interface -> "ProjectName.h" from the "Related Items" button:

Example: "SClass.swift"
class SClass: NSObject {
    @objc func foo() {

    }
}

"MyProject-Swift.h":
// ...
SWIFT_CLASS("_TtC9MyProject6SClass")
@interface SClass : NSObject
- (void)foo;
- (nonnull instancetype)init OBJC_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER;
@end
// ...

A: Objc to swift
Go to your Target -> BuildSettings->(search for "Objective-C Bridging")YouProjectBridging.h
Add your other .h files by #import "OtherVisible.h" in the  "YouProjectBridging.h"
Swift to Objc
In each .h file where you like to use swift code.
After imports add a line @class MySwiftClass;"
In .m file after imports add a line
#import <YourProjectName-Swift.h>

But first in swift class that you to like call should have access modifiers set to
@objc open class MyswiftClass

Same applies to its properties and function
 @objc public var button : UIButton!
 @objc public override func viewDidLoad()

Nov. 18, 2013 — Two Fulton County whistleblowers may proceed with legal claims that they lost their jobs in retaliation for reporting misuse of taxpayers' funds, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled today.
The decision strengthens enforcement of Georgia's whistleblower law by holding that sovereign immunity does not shield government agencies from claims filed under the statute. Reversing a 2012 decision by the Georgia Court of Appeals, the justices also found that the law protects all public employees, not just those who work in state-funded programs.
One of the plaintiffs, Gwen Warren, was deputy county manager in 2009 when she got her boss to establish an Office of Professional Standards to field complaints of fraud, waste and abuse by county workers. Maria Colon, the second plaintiff, was the investigator hired to look into those complaints.
In 2010, Warren and Colon reported that $183,000 intended for programs for the homeless had been diverted to benefit a private event-planning business and four county employees who owned it. Soon thereafter, County Manager Zachary Williams disbanded the Office of Professional Standards, fired Warren and demoted Colon with a cut in pay.
The pair filed suit, blaming political pressure for stifling the investigation and costing them their jobs. Fulton County officials said other factors led to the personnel actions and that the concept of sovereign immunity protected the county from having to defend the decisions in court.
The Court of Appeals tossed the sovereign immunity defense last year but sided with Fulton County's argument that whistleblowers may only file claims relating to a "state-funded program or operation." The Supreme Court held today that the appellate judges had reached that conclusion by erroneously conflating two code sections and then using language that does appear in the statute to define certain terms.
"Under our system of separation of powers[, courts do] not have the authority to rewrite statutes," today's ruling said, citing the court's 2006 decision in State v. Fielden.
Only one of the county workers implicated in Warren and Colon's report was prosecuted. Nicola Hosier, a former DHS financial systems supervisor, pleaded guilty and was sentenced in August to 10 years' of home confinement and/or probation and payment of $135,000 in restitution.
Many thanks for keeping us better informed.
Thank Goodness. you are still one of the few truly investigative reporters still able to do what many are prevented from doing by their "editorial managers and publishers.
Your voice is invaluable in providing what real news reporting is all about. Many, many others have forgotten, never learned, or are convinced the status quo is just fine.
As a Georgia Whistleblower, my case further confirms the corruption of our state's judicial system and disregard for Georgia's laws – especially by our state's Attorney General, Sam Olens.
* The definition of "pre•ter•mit" is: 1. to let pass without notice; disregard.

There are repeated references in the media to this being a coup or a hostile takeover of some sort. Even the word "insurgency" has been used. This was not due to a small radical group of the dissidents. More than likely, your own doctor supported this change.
Recently, the entire executive of the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) resigned. I was not going to write about it. My personal feeling was that internal OMA issues should stay internal. The public doesn't care who the executive of the OMA is. The public wants a health-care system that will be there for them when they need it, and doctors who will advocate for patient care needs.
However, there has been such a litany of half-truths, innuendo, uninformed speculation and outright lies published by the news media about this, that it really is time to correct some of the nonsense. Toronto Star columnists, in particular, have been almost virulent in promoting the notion that these resignations will somehow lead to a two-tier, private pay health-care system that will destroy the very fabric of Canadian society.
For the record, I seconded the motion of non-confidence in the executive of the OMA at the Special Council Meeting (SCM). I had a (small) hand in writing the not only the motion, but the "grievance" document that supported the motion. I was also one of the two keynote speakers in favour of the motion (OMA rules allowed for two speakers for, and two against). I think it's safe to say that I know the facts as to how this came about.
This blog is my personal statement only, and not meant to represent the views of any other organization or people. I will also not be talking about any other details of the meeting, other than to refute the erroneous media statements.
Firstly, the Star columnist who wrote the piece is clearly under the impression that this endeavour was carried out by what they view as two breakaway groups, the Coalition of Ontario Doctors (COOD) and Concerned Ontario Doctors (COD). They've long lambasted these groups for solely representing the views of high-billing specialists. The fact that the bulk of COD is made up of family physicians (the lowest-paid specialty) doesn't seem to change their narrative.
This was not due to a small radical group of the dissidents.
In fact, those two groups were not involved in organizing the petition. The Star columnist seemed to use as their source Dean Richard Reznick's blog on the issue, but didn't bother to notice that Reznick himself later admitted he was wrong after he published the blog, and corrected his statement.
Then Martin Regg Cohn made the incredulous assumption that Patrick Brown's Conservatives were behind this. Must be because the Liberals, whom the Star supported in 2014, are in a complete tailspin. Perhaps this is an attack on the perceived front runner for the next election, by linking him to two-tier medicine. Problem is, it's a completely false assumption. There were NO Conservative operatives involved. Zilch. Zero. Nada.
As it turns out, 19 of the 25 physicians who signed the request for the SCM were family physicians. When you consider the motion of non-confidence passed by 55 per cent of delegates at the SCM, along with polls that suggested up to 73 per cent of the membership wanted a change in leadership, you are talking about a majority of physicians who wanted change. This was not due to a small radical group of the dissidents. More than likely, your own doctor supported this change.
Then there are the repeated references in the media to this being a coup or a hostile takeover of some sort. Even the word "insurgency" has been used. Let's be clear about this: every functioning corporation has, as part of its bylaws, the ability to express concern about its leadership in one way or another. Without getting into the minutiae, let me state categorically that the bylaws were followed to the letter. If they weren't, do you really believe the OMA lawyers would have allowed it? This was a democratic vote that followed due process.
Probably the most ridiculous opinion shared in the Star compares the group wanting change at the OMA to TeaParty-style Republicans, or even styling themselves after Trump supporters. Let's get serious here. Are they really comparing a brown female immigrant physician (Nadia Alam) to a Trump supporter? Or a Muslim like myself?
If you want Trump-style politics, read Dr. Berger's venomous screed against Dr. Alam that the Star published two days later. There is no data presented, just a bilious, ad hominem attack against someone he disagrees with, along with gobs of righteous indignation. Saving a premature baby's life is "not special"? I challenge Dr. Berger to tell that to the parents of the baby. Now THAT was a Trump-style attack.
If they unite under a new executive, you will see much more advocacy for health care than ever before.
Let's be clear: the Star's columnists have a right to their editorial opinion. They can advocate for whatever cause they choose, and for whatever style of health care, physician payment scheme or whatever they want. Doesn't matter if physicians agree with them or not.
But what they can't do is use erroneous information and factually incorrect opinions to promote their views. Unlike the United States, where alternative facts are all the rage, in Canada, the truth matters. Shame on the Star for not checking the facts before publishing views that are clearly designed to frighten the public into voting for Premier Kathleen Wynne in the next election.
As for what it means for patients, that will depend on physicians. If they unite under a new executive, you will see much more advocacy for health care than ever before. Already there has been an uptake in doctors tweeting about articles about how Bill 41 is a mistake, or how wait times are so long and more. There will also be much more noise whenever the Premier Wynne's priorities are confused (like giving $8 million dollar raises to executives, while patients at hospitals are kept in hallways for lack of beds).
In short, it means that physicians are now far more activist and will take a much more strident tone advocating for health care than ever before. At the risk of sounding somewhat less than humble, Premier Wynne -- don't say you weren't warned.

Find out when Tartan Day is, and how this special day is celebrated in Scotland, the original home of tartan, and elsewhere in the world.
When is Tartan Day? Images
Tartan Day is celebrated on 6 April each year and is a worldwide celebration of Scottish heritage. Communities around the world take part in Tartan Day, organising parades, ceilidhs, meetings and talks. One of the best known Tartan Day events is the New York Tartan Day Parade, which is held on the Saturday nearest to 6 April, as part of New York Tartan Week.
The 20th annual Tartan Day Parade in New York will be held on 6 April 2019 with Sir Billy Connolly as Parade Grand Marshal. The parade will include appearances by the parade's own pipe band, and representatives of a range of Scottish heritage socieites and organisations, including the St. Andrew's Society of the State of New York, the New York Caledonian Club and The American-Scottish Foundation.
Despite its strong New York connections, Tartan Day was actually established in Nova Scotia, Canada in 1987, after a proposal by the Federation of Scottish Clans in Nova Scotia.
The date 6 April has special significance in Scottish history as it was on this day in 1320 that the Declaration of Arbroath was signed. The Declaration was drawn up at Arbroath Abbey and addressed to Pope John XXII. It was intended to confirm that Scotland was an independent state which had the right to defend itself.
Tartan Day in Scotland
Although Tartan Day celebrations tend to be focused on diaspora communities outwith Scotland, Angus Council established the first Scottish Tartan Day in 2004 and has since been followed by towns and cities including Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Montrose, Perth and Glasgow.

Like most innovations, AI can be deployed in a variety of ways and can be viewed as a positive development or the converse. Our attitude to change in healthcare to innovation does however skew our stance in many instances.
We tend to view changes to the existing business model as potentially deleterious unless proved otherwise, and, although there are merits to us being cautious, mainly because we need to make sure we satisfy safety and consistency of outcome, perhaps we sometimes overshoot the balance between assurance and innovation and end up not innovating at all.
We also, on occasions, tend to view any adverse event associated with new technology using different parameters of risk to what we normally use. Thus, adverse events in deployment or operation of new technologies tend to attract negative publicity, even if the elements of risk that they expose people to are less than the ones which the system is exposed to at present.
WHAT IS AI AND ITS RELATION TO MACHINE LEARNING?
We tend to use this term in the same breadth as machine learning although there are differences in how we should interpret these phrases. AI is as old as the hills and is in essence machines doing things that we would consider to be "clever", whilst machine learning is its application.
We are in the foothills of a wholescale adoption of the deployment of AI from the adoption of mechanised processes to read images more consistently, from simple routine radiology to fundoscopy and also to more esoteric and in many ways exciting developments, like the ability for us to identify which cases of potential sepsis need intervening early and which do, or do not, require antibiotic treatment.
But what is the potential to deliver better care in these instances?

For many households in Singapore, indoor gardening is our only option to bring nature into our homes due to our high-rise apartments and limited outdoor space available. But besides bringing about added greenery, indoor plants can also help to enhance your quality of life. Here are some reasons why you should consider having an indoor garden in your home, if you haven't got one already.
When we breathe, we take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. This is why plants and people make natural partners, as the two rely on each other for sustenance. However, do note that at night when the photosynthesis process stops, plants will start to respire like humans – meaning that they take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. There are a few exceptions to this rule though, like certain succulents and cacti, who continue to release oxygen at night. As such, you should place these in the bedrooms to keep air refreshed during the night.
Ever noticed how you feel calmer and less stressed when you're out in the woods surrounded by nature? The same would apply for houseplants. Plants have a natural aesthetic beauty about them, and because we as humans find beautiful things soothing, it will in turn result in lower levels of stress and fatigue. Not only that, indoor plants can also help to boost your concentration and improve productivity, meaning that they are perfect accompaniments for home offices or areas in the home where work is conducted.
While it may seem like a weird concept, placing plants in the bedroom can actually help you sleep better. Plants like Jasmine, Lavender and Aloe Vera all have a gentle and calming effect that can help to lower your heart rate, blood pressure, stress and anxiety levels, in turn leading to a better quality of sleep.
Notoriously adept at absorbing gases through pores on the surface of their leaves, houseplants make the best natural air purifiers. Not only are they able to cleanse the air from toxic chemicals like formaldehyde and benzene – usually found in paint, vinyl and solvents – they can also raise humidity by releasing moisture into the air, protecting you against respiratory problems. In addition, this also means that you won't have to spend big bucks on an air purifier to maintain a good air quality in your home!

"Things I Remember", by Mina Herrick King
Alexandria Bay in Years Past
The date of the first settlement of Alexandria Bay, I am not aware of, but it must have been in the early 1800s when the great landholder Leray arrived in this territory to take over land. It is believed that he named it Alexandria after his son Alexander.
Nevertheless, a better location could not have been selected to start a settlement, as this seemingly is the most beautiful part of the St. Lawrence River — with its numerous islands and the depth of water sufficient for large ships to dock with the cargo they carried. In those early days much was done by boats. The building of the new town at first may have been slow, but in a short time homes and stores of all kinds were constructed in the village.
I believe the well constructed stone building by the Cornwall Brothers, John, Andrew, Harvey and Charles, was one of the oldest of business places to be erected on the waterfront. Their good dock for the boats was very important, and much in use by the public.
In my young days we did enjoy a trip to the Bay as there was much for us to see and this store was a big attraction for us. Our parents would bring in ten or twelve dozen eggs to use as part payment for the needs of the family. Although the price of eggs was very little — $.12 or $.15 a dozen, it all helped and the store liked having fresh eggs to sell.
With no cash register on the counter, it was amusing to see the money that had paid for your bill put into a little basket; and by pulling a cord it was sent to the cashier, who was in a little elevated booth, to take care of and then send back the change and a copy of the bill. At this time I recall Mary McDonald taking care of this. She later became Mrs. Frank Moore. Frank Lyman and George Cornwall were busy as clerks; and in the summer they had many customers, so more help was needed. Charles Cornwall would then help out.
On the riverfront of the store was a nice porch which was an ideal location to watch the arrival of big passenger boats, and to hear porters from the various hotels calling out the name of their respective hotel. As by now there had been two large hotels built. The Crossmon in 1848 and the Staples in 1873. My mother was sixteen years old when she attended the opening of the latter with her father. This was a big event for someone her age.
As years passed, more hotels were erected in the village. The Marsden, St. Lawrence, St. James and The Bay View House on Walton Street. As the tourists increased each year, these hotels were well filled. This was quite an accomplishment for the town, as more residents were given work and new homes were built. This in turn caused many kinds of new stores to be placed into operation and thus supplying the needs of the people.
Some of the stores were: Walter Fox, Cornwalls, later Frank Lyman's with Gladys Hunt, Beatrice Ellis and Frank Moore as clerks. Frank Giffins, Benone Thompson, Tinker Thompson; Lewis Dobbins Groceries, Sam Miller's Meat Market; Vrooman's Groceries, Nathaniel Leonard's Bakery and Fred Swan on Walton Street. Also there was Fred Batchelder's and Nellie Ayoup's.
There was also construction and contractors: Mr. Simmons, J.B. Reid and son, Ralph, who built the new Catholic church to replace the old one on Crossmon Street. Mechanical work was done by Mr. Cranker and his son at Mill Point. I had heard that he even made a gun once. The Kelletts, and Charles Garlock were in the little basket; and by pulling a cord it was sent to the cashier, who was in a little elevated booth, to take care of and then send back the change and a copy of the bill. At this time I recall Mary McDonald taking care of this. She later became Mrs. Frank Moore. Frank Lyman and George Cornwall were busy as clerks; and in the summer they had many customers, so more help was needed. Charles Cornwall would then help out.

Mechanical work was done by Mr. Cranker and his son at Mill Point. I had heard that he even made a gun once. The Kelletts, and Charles Garlock were in the hardware business which was later taken over by Sterling and Royal.
As time passed, a few restaurants were to be found throughout the village. We often went to Reuben White's on James Street for ice cream. Mrs. Sheppard and her daughter, Ethel Pearce, had a small restaurant. We used to keep them in a good supply of eggs.
Not far from the river was an open air market of fresh fruit and vegetables. I believe a Mr. Long from Oswego was the owner. It was a grand place from which to select various fruits as he had a very nice display.
The first bank was located near this fruit stand in the lower part of the Marsden hotel. The Cornwall Brothers were connected with this bank and Charles Putnam was a cashier there for a long time. As this bank was not adequate for long, a new building was constructed not far from the Cornwall store and it had office space on the second floor, which was soon occupied by Clinton Wiltse and Bert DeYoung law firm.
The other apartment was taken by Dr. Francis Gillick, a young dentist who had moved from his Theresa office where he had a good practice. I had some dental work done before he married Corinne Alton, a nurse.
She was a pupil of mine in the sixth grade at Antwerp School where I had been assigned to practice teaching in 1909. There were other dentists eventually — Dr. Bigness and Dr. Lantier.
There were also clothing stores that I remember well: Samuel Guerrieri and Jacob and Isaac Friedman. They used to travel the country over with a covered wagon and two horses, supplying folks with all kinds of wearing apparel.
A Milliner store was essential for the ladies as we had to have a hat for each outfit of clothing in order to keep up-to-date. Mrs. Lefever and Poppy Winslow had a shop on Church Street opposite the Hartman Block. These ladies could make hats for whatever you wanted. Summer flowers and ribbon, and in winter and fall, mostly velvet on felt trimmed with a nice ostrich plume and feathers. I remember having a small bird attached at the side of a green felt hat with wings spread as if it were ready to fly.
I do also remember Calvin Wilson and his small store on Walton Street. He and his family lived upstairs. His wife, Mary, and daughter Allie, were friends of mine. My mother grew up with Mary Merrill when they were young. So this was our place to visit whenever we came to the Bay. And they would come to us since Mr. Wilson had a horse to drive.
There was a blacksmith shop, photography, one barber shop, Haas and Houghton furniture. A good friend of my grandfather had a shoe cobbler shop and leather repair. While my grandfather delivered the butter and eggs and chatted with his friend, I was allowed to go and watch the lights on nearby Heart Island.
The island itself looked like a big heart in the sky. And the lights were so beautiful that my youthful eyes could not watch it long enough.
There are many craftsmen around these days, but I remember Chauncey Wheeler. He was a riverman who made beautiful duck decoys. His art was much in demand, especially in the fall of the year.
The spiritual needs of the residents of the Bay were not forgotten, as some of the earliest buildings were churches: St. Cyril's Church, Methodist, St. Lawrence Episcopal, Reformed Church of the Thousand Islands. Only in recent years was there a Baptist church erected on Bolton Avenue.
Fraternal orders also came into being. A Masonic temple was built on James Street. The lower part was used for stores and at one time the only drugstore was Cook and Marshall's. The upper part was used for the lodge room and the meetings for Masons and Eastern Star. In the early 1900s, the Odd Fellows were organized and built a hall for their newly organized lodge. It was given the name of Hopewell. My father was a charter member as he had already joined an Odd Fellows Lodge in Brier Hill. Their hall was on the second floor and the lower floors were rented to the town clerk and The Thousand Islands Sun early in the 1900s.
It was about this same time that the Odd Fellows built their new building. The upper floor for their hall and the lower and basement was to be rented. This helped pay some of the large debts they had acquired. The ladies organized a Rebekah Lodge and they all worked together to get the debt paid off. Mildred Pickert was Noble Grand when I joined. There were other members like Lydia Avery, Elsie Brown, Ethel Pearce, Clara Brennan, Mrs. Charles Spencer, and so many more that I wish I could mention.
In a short time I had two young sons added to our family, and for living in the country I didn't care to leave them at night. I had no regrets whatever for getting a demit card, for at this time I enjoyed Jay and Vernon so much that I preferred to be with them in their baby years.
The fraternal order, G.A.R., The Grand Army of The Republic, was made up of Civil War veterans. It is long gone now, but my grandfather was one of them and he faithfully attended all meetings and marched in all of the parades.
The Redwood American Legion named their post in honor of Ivan Suits and Richard Hunter, who both lost their lives in battle. Each post constructed a building to be used for their meeting and rented it out to the public when they were in need.
My husband was a town assessor for several years and after the field work of property was completed, each assessor had to have a copier. So I became my husband's copier. Other copiers were: Ruth Walton, Laura Simpson, Bertha House, Margaret Spies, Marion Comstock, and Frieda Spies. Other assessors at that time were Lewis Dobbins, Harold Simpson, Claude House and John Spies. Our hours were long and ardous from nine until four every day for one month. We copied the assessment roll for several years in the Legion Hall of Alexandria Bay.
Education has always been one of the important things in any town. I think the first school building may have been built on Rock Street. A new building was later erected on the corner of Rock and Church Street. Later, as the population grew and more space needed, the new school was built on Bolton Avenue. My father had moved to Alexandria Bay and was much interested in school affairs. Soon he was elected to the school board. After the building was completed, a new school principal was found, Del Lyman, and the only secretary for the school was my sister, Ivah (Bigley). She had a big job to do, but she managed to do it and well.
We had several good doctors in town: Dr. Campbell, Forsythe, Cole, Sampson, Gokey, Lukins, Louis Hartman, Robinson and a doctor with the name of July. One of the good surgeons was Dr. Mantle.
I recall when my sister, Edna, and I were about ten or twelve years old. My father, mother and sister, Arloine, were making a trip to Montreal down the rapids on an excursion trip, but the two of us had to stay in the Bay. We stayed with a family who had an apartment on the third floor of the Henry Hartman block. We had two flights of stairs to run up and down.
With no plumbing in the apartment we had to go down the stairs to reach the outside toilets. Depending on how many were in a family determined how many holes their toilet would have. We made many unnecessary trips to the backyard just so we could see all that was going on in the St. James kitchen. And we could almost see Mr. Ackerman's livery stable and the horses there.
Each morning we were at the front windows early to see the donkeys brought from the pasture to the Crossmon for the day for the tourists to use. At night they were taken back again. Another thing to do early in the morning was to take a container to the front door for the milk that Charles Kavanaugh delivered. After a few days of village life we were happy to go back to Goose Bay.
We traveled many times up and down the river in our motor boat, the Iva B. I was the pilot of the boat. It easily carried ten people. Several times I would attempt to get onto the deck to prevent a heavy bang on the dock. My father warned me that some day I would do that once too often and go overboard. I disobeyed him and did it my way. We were about to enter the boathouse after a trip to the Bay when a heavy wind carried the boat past the door. I slid off and got a quick bath in Goose Bay.
We always visited Seven Isles in late summer or fall. It was owned by General Bradley Winslow and his wife Poppy who was a cousin of my mother. We packed a lunch to have them join us in a picnic dinner while we ran from one island to the other — as they were all reached by a bridge. Since Poppy took care of the cottages and served meals all season, this was always a special treat for her.

Liberal propaganda magazine The Atlantic glorifies chemical agriculture as "high-tech food," denounces belief in nature as anti-science
03/07/2018 / By Jayson Veley
In the eyes of many of the large seed and pesticide corporations, if you don't buy into the idea that genetically engineered seeds and chemically enhanced crops are the way of the future, then you are "anti-science."
Last month, the far left Atlantic magazine provided a platform for these corporations to spread their propaganda in exchange for corporate cash during an event titled "Harvest: Transforming the Food We Eat" sponsored by DowDuPont.
The event was centered on discussions with "farmers, foodies, techies and tinkerers" on how new technologies are changing the way in which we grow crops and cultivate animals, and what these changes mean for the future of food.
Of course, there were a number of things that were conveniently never addressed at the event, including the fact that dangerous pesticides have been scientifically proven to harm children's brains, the fact that DuPont covered up the health risks associated with the Teflon chemical which has contaminated waterways around the world, and the fact that DowDuPont refused to help clean up after a 1984 pesticide plant accident in Bhopal. How odd it is that these people who care so much about the "future of food" don't seem to take safety and the dangers associated with pesticides into consideration. (Related: A brain-damaging neurotoxic pesticide has been found in hundreds of foods.)
It's also ironic how those who are concerned about genetically engineered seeds and chemically enhanced crops are called "anti-science," yet the fact remains that all science is grounded in nature. If anyone is anti-science, it's those that are peddling this "future food" propaganda, because they are the ones ignoring the scientifically proven realities of the chemicals that they so strongly support. (Related: Dangerous farm pesticides are now showing up in America's drinking water.)
The notion that science is rooted in nature also applies to the ongoing debate over climate change, which incidentally is another issue where skeptics are labeled as "anti-science." According to a study put out last year by Australian scientists John Abbot and Jennifer Marohasy, most global warming is natural and not significantly influenced by human activity.
"We began by deconstructing the six-proxy series from different geographic regions – series already published in the mainstream climate science literature," the study states. "One of these, the Northern Hemisphere composite series begins in 50 AD, ends in the year 2000, and is derived from studies of pollen, lake sediments, stalagmites and boreholes."
"Typical of most such temperature series, it zigzags up and down while showing to rising trends: the first peaks about 1200 AD and corresponds with a period known as the Medieval Warm Period, while the second peaks in 1980 and then shows decline," the authors go on to explain, adding that in between these two peaks "is the Little Ice Age, which according to the Northern Hemisphere composite bottomed-out in 1650 AD."
Obviously, when it comes to the issue of climate change, science is based on nature because the climate has been changing for thousands of years naturally. The same can be said for the issue of gender, which the progressive left insists is on a spectrum rather than accepting the fact that there are only two genders in biology: Male and female. Here again, science is rooted in nature.
What advocates of "future foods," climate change alarmists and social justice warriors constantly do is replace science with propaganda. They claim to believe in science, and even go as far as accusing those that disagree with them as being "anti-science," but the reality is that they're the ones that don't face the facts. They're the ones that are anti-science, because they are anti-nature.

G.D. Falksen, Noted Writer and Steampunk Fashion Authority
Kathy Sharkey Fashion Leave a comment 2,278 Views
Described as one of the foremost authorities on Steampunk GD Falksen has been one of the strongest proponents of the steampunk movement. As a fiction writer and blogger, not to mention he looks amazing in Steampunk costumes, Mr. Falksen has been a go to guy for all things Steampunk. So I was terribly excited when he agreed to take time out of his busy schedule and talk about the fashion of Steampunk.
(CN) First and foremost can you introduce yourself?
(G. D. Falksen) My name is G. D. Falksen. I am the author of several books and short stories, including The Ouroboros Cycle series and a forthcoming YA book being released by Soho Teen in 2016.
(CN) Can you define Steampunk Fashion for our readers?
(G. D. Falksen) Steampunk fashion is simply fashion inspired by steampunk fiction and the steampunk aesthetic, essentially the sort of thing that you might find someone wearing in a steampunk novel or film. It's a diverse and varied style that combines the elegance of the 19th century with tremendous creativity and imagination.
(CN) Since Steampunk Fashion is based off of Victorian élan does the variety of Victorian fashion across the world fit in (ie. The American West during the Victorian era, Asian acculturation during the time period) or does the fashion have to be based upon British/European Victoriana?
(G. D. Falksen) High Victorian styles are often the most seen in steampunk (which is likely the result of late 19th century Britain's visibility in our modern popular culture), but in fact steampunk and steampunk fashion draw upon influences from the whole of the 19th century (and the 20th century up to the First World War) and from the entire world during that time period. Historically, the technological advancements of the period allowed for an unprecedented level of interaction between people across the world, and logically the even greater level of technology in steampunk would only increase this. In short, any culture or civilization that existed during the 19th century has an equal and valid role to play in steampunk fiction and fashion.
(CN) Aside from the obvious are there any stand out differences between women's and men's Steampunk fashions? Are these differences due to the historical time frame constraints or has the fact that Steampunk is a modern fashion trend created other differences/or lack thereof?
(G. D. Falksen) In a broad sense, men's and women's steampunk fashions would be influenced by the styles of the culture and time period they are drawing on (which, as I mentioned previously, is a very diverse topic that spans more than 100 years and the entire globe), but being a modern construction it allows for much greater freedom (it would have been taboo for a woman to wear a suit in the Victorian era; that is obviously no longer the case today). Really, steampunk fashion is about choice, options, and personal expression. It's about people drawing upon a historical period to help express their own personal style.
(CN) How would a Steampunk newcomer go about starting his or her own costume?
(G. D. Falksen) One of the great things about steampunk fashion is that it's about clothing rather than costumes, which often makes it easier to put an outfit together. Certainly, clothes from the 19th century can be difficult to locate (and those that can be found are antiques and better preserved than worn) but for a person interested in sewing, most fabric shops have at least one or two patterns for recreating 19th century styles. And furthermore, for a person just starting out, the modern three piece suit is descended from Victorian men's casual wear, while an easy Edwardian women's outfit is simply an ankle-length skirt with a blouse, all of which are easy to find in thrift stores (assuming you don't have the pieces in your closet already). From those two simple bases, you can then accessorize or add to your heart's content.
(CN) Are there some must haves when putting together a great Steampunk Costume?
(G. D. Falksen) I like to say "start historical and then add" for ease of assembly, but aside from that basic guideline there really isn't anything mandatory. It's all about drawing upon a mixture of period style and one's own imagination for personal expression.
(CN) How does Diesel punk and Steampunk differentiate in your opinion?
(G. D. Falksen) What's sometimes referred to as "dieselpunk" (alternatively you may be more familiar with the term "pulp adventure" or "pulp sci-fi") is a style of retrofuturist fiction and aesthetics based on the early and mid 20th century. It picks up where steampunk leaves off (at the end of the First World War) and continues on until shortly after the Second World War (I find it's easiest to say it covers from about 1920 to about 1950). Whereas steampunk takes the technology of the Victorian era (the steam engine and the various advancements it made possible) and says "what if?", pulp or "dieselpunk" does the same thing with technology in its time period (petroleum fuel, electricity, early generation computers, etc).
(CN) What are some of your favorite Steampunk concepts?
(G. D. Falksen) I'm generally fascinated by the history of technology, so I especially enjoy the way that steampunk translates modern concepts or capabilities into a 19th century industrial context. A computer revolution growing from Babbage's Difference Engine and Analytical Engine, for example, or the use of the telegraph to simulate the modern Internet. It's all extremely interesting from both a fictional and a historical point of view.
(CN) What concepts would you love to see done with a Steampunk twist?
(G. D. Falksen)I'm a big fan of spy-fi so I really enjoy seeing well done Victorian espionage, especially drawing on parallels to the Cold War.
(CN) What would you like people to understand about Steampunk culture?
(G. D. Falksen)I think it's important for people to understand just how diverse and expansive steampunk is. People shouldn't feel like they have to adhere to the same style as everyone else. It's about personal expression coupled with a love of history, and I think it really is big enough to offer something to just about everyone.
(CN) Are there any other things you would like to touch on about Steampunk fashion?
(G. D. Falksen)Above all, be yourself. All fashion is about expressing your own tastes and interests, so if you like 19th century fashion (and that's a really big topic) I say embrace it and use it to channel your own personal style.

Napoleon DynamiteJared Hess filmed an new ending to Napoleon after it was bought by MTV. The new ending cost nearly as much as the entire original film.Many of the characters in Napoleon are actual citizens of the town of Preston Idaho. Such as the chicken farmer and the children on the school bus, who scream after watching the chicken farmer butcher a cow with a shotgun.
Break dancer, bass fisherman, skilled numb chuck fighter, mythical warrior artist. In most Utahns estimation the greatest comic character of all time. Despite Napoleon's roots being in Idaho, Utahns are very proud that the filmmakers: Jared and Jerusha Hess, and stars of the movie Jon Heder (Napoleon) and Aaron Ruell (Kipp) are B.Y.U. alumni.

Former owner of Totally Awesome Computers and Totally Awesome Guns and Range "Super Dell" opened many locations of his computer shops before his fast driving and gun slinging antics got him in trouble. He was chased down by angry neighbors for speeding in their cul-de-sac. The neighbors caught up with Dell and he pulled his 45 on them, or maybe it was a 37. Dell was recently cited for flying his motored paraglide too close to the freeway. Schanze blames the demise of his business on the unfair media coverage he received. Come on Utah Stories Dell and we will give you the last word.

(deceased) Environmentalist, Author(waco some say). Abbey was paid one summer back in the '50s to keep an eye on things in the Canyon lands National Park. There he grew his beard, befriended the wild and wrote "Desert Solitaire" a book that maintains the theme that by exploiting nature we are removing a critical connection that binds us to nature and our true sense of humanity. Abbey believed Glenn Canyon Dam and Lake Powell were a disastrous mistake. His opinions helped ignite the environmental movement.

Forest CuchGraduated from the Wasatch Academy. Says it was the great education that he received there that inspired him to help more Ute children to have better access to good education.Believes that the public school curriculum teaches a false history of his Ute Indian tribe.
The Uintah-Ourray Reservation is the 2nd largest in the country with 4.5 million acres.
Ute Indian leader, head of the Utah Division of Indian Affairs. Cuch and other Utes believe the University of Utah Utes doesn't portray Utes in a demeaning manner, especially if the University of Utah gives all Ute Indians scholarships to attend their University for free (source). It's the least Utah can do for the harm they have done in granting them their "nation within a nation" status. Of coarse this is a cheeky commentary. Cuch is a very eloquent well read professional who is a great Indian leader. Cuch appears in the Utah Stories exclusive documentary on Ute Tribe Education.
Aaron RalstonRalston cut his arm off while not being able to stomach disecting a sheeps eyeball in 9th grade.Says cutting his own arm off was painful but also "the most beautiful thing I've ever felt."
Ralston videotaped the entire three days as well as the amputation. He has only shared a portion of that foodage with Dateline NBC
Rock climbing in Southern Utah alone without ropes, Ralston fell, got his arm pined between a boulder and a cliff. Six days passed before he sawed his own arm off with serrated army knife blade. Ralston then became a national figure, appearing on Oprah, Dateline NBC, Letterman. Ralston now makes six figures for speaking engagements as well as the book he has written about the experience "Between a Rock and a Hard Place". Advice to all crazy rock climbers: be ridiculously ignorant (climbing alone), saw a limb off and realize the beauty of life, write a book and you too could become rich and famous.

I've been working closely with most of these systems for years and I can honestly say that each generally works quite well but Microsoft seem to be doing their absolute best to confuse everyone and to blur these completely separate products together.
Office 365 for Business accounts used to be called Organizational Accounts which was simpler to differentiate but are now called Microsoft Accounts for Organizations.
Office 365 volume licenses can be managed via the Volume Licensing Service Center which is accessed via a Microsoft Account.
Office 365 for Business used to be managed via https://portal.microsoftonline.com/ but is now managed via https://portal.office.com/ - the same domain that is used to manage Office 365 Personal and Office 365 Home.
Logging in at https://login.microsoftonline.com/ sometimes inexplicably redirects to https://login.live.com/.
Office 365 ProPlus (Microsoft Office supplied by Office 365 for Business) connects to https://ols.officeapps.live.com/olsc/OlsClient.svc to activate.
Microsoft Accounts used to be called Windows Live IDs hence why a lot of services are hosted on the live.com domain. An example of this is Outlook.com which used to be called Windows Live Hotmail.
As reported by The Verge at http://www.theverge.com/2015/5/5/8552965/microsoft-outlook-com-office-365-migration, "Microsoft's Outlook.com will be powered by Office 365".
Exchange Online's MX records are domain.mail.protection.outlook.com - the same domain that Outlook.com is branded as.
Exchange Online is actually a trimmed-down, slightly different, ever-changing version of Exchange 2013.
OneDrive and OneDrive for Business used to be called SkyDrive and SkyDrive Pro, respectively, but had to change their names due to a dispute with Sky.
OneDrive for Business is the application, not the service. The service is provided by SharePoint Online.
SharePoint Online is actually a trimmed-down, slightly different, ever-changing version of SharePoint 2013.
A maximum of 5,000 or 20,000 items, depending on the type of library. This can be reached surprisingly easily and, if I recall correctly, screwed up the entire sync process for a client and had to be setup from scratch.
A maximum of 2GB data. Large ZIP or ISO or collection of images? Out of luck.
Unsupported characters of \ / : * ? " < > | # %. Look familiar? Windows restrictions includes unsupported characters of \ / : * ? " < > |. Did you notice that # and % are missing? Yeah, you can create filenames including # and % ("Survey #1.JPG", "20% standard rate tax.XLSX", etc) in Windows but they will NOT play nice with the OneDrive for Business app and, if I recall correctly, screwed up the entire sync process for a client and had to be setup from scratch.
Skype for Business is is actually a not-yet-entirely rebranded version of Lync Online.
Of course, this is only an overview and doesn't include things like Kiosk plans which provide Exchange Online mailboxes that are only accessible via Outlook Web Access.
I hope that this is at least informative to someone.


DEEP INTO THE BEKAA is a simulation depicting the first T-72 and Merkava tank battles in the final stages and hours of the Peace for Galilee Israeli offensive in 1982. These tank battles were the largest of the war and occurred as both sides sought to position themselves before the ceasefire at noon. They began at 10 a.m. as the Israeli Merkava tanks moved deep into the Bekaa Valley from their 77th battalion and the 409th Anti-tank (TOWs on Jeeps) swept far to the north until both collided with the fresh Syrian T-72 tanks of the 82nd Brigade, 3rd Armor Division.
As soon as elements of the Merkava tank battalion arrived, Syrian T-72 tanks began to fire from a distance of 2500-3000 yds. The Israelis inched ever closer to the Syrian border and in desperation, Syrian Milan AT units and Gazelle TOW gunships began to appear. To the Israeli, the going was a cautious advance yet one that had to achieve the most territory before the agreed ceasefire at Noon. The battle is unique for it was the first time the new Russian T-72 tank faced off with the new Israeli Merkava, for both their debut in battle.
Units represent single AFVs, helicopters or infantry AT teams. Each hex measures 324 yards from side to side. Each turn represents 5 min. time.

Iran's ordinary post-election detainees reach out for help
by Sam Razi | Mar 26, 2010 | Featured, From the Web, General, Human Rights
(Radio Zamaaneh) | March 25, 2010
A group of post-election detainees issued a letter to draw public attention to the ordeal of ordinary post-election prisoners who do not have the support and advocacy that is naturally given to prominent faces amongst the detainees.
In the letter, they state that for the mere crimes of "receiving or sending a text message or email, watching the protests or joining in the silence of election protesters," they are now being charged with "enmity against God (moharbeh), insulting government officials, propaganda against the regime and collusion."
In the past nine months, thousands of election protesters have been arrested. While there may be hundreds of well-known social and political activists amongst these detainees, there are also thousands of ordinary citizens languishing in prisons for joining the protests against the presidential elections which according to the opposition was rigged to secure Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election.
The letter published in Kalameh website says: "We are simple protesters to the outcome of the elections and there has been no media outlet to write a single word about us."
According to the information contained in the letter, some of these detainees have been tried without a defense lawyer or even the prosecutor's representative, and they have been handed sentences of over six years in prison.
The letter contends that the authorities keep accusing them of ties to various opposition groups or foreign organizations and spy agencies.
The detainees writing the letter ask: "How is it that embezzlers, smugglers, traders of University exams and organizers of bawdy houses are eligible for acquittals, leaves and release but no one even spares us a thought?"
In the weeks before Iranian New Year, a number of post-election prisoners were temporarily released on heavy bails. Most of the released prisoners were well-known political and social activists.
