For the last few months, we've been conducting financial health seminars at companies in the Mumbai area. We hear a lot of users say – I don't earn enough to save. What difference will saving Rs. 500 or Rs. 1000 a month make? It's too little.
We can all relate to this sentiment. But it can limit us from realizing our savings potential. In this article, we will explore how starting early, even if it is a small amount, makes quite a difference to your savings success. This is because of a magical phenomenon called compounding.
Most of us have come across compounding in school. If you've repressed that traumatic memory, here is a quick reminder. The money you save or invest (called the "principal") earns interest. That interest also earns interest in the future. This adds up over time to generate substantial gains.
Let's do a fun exercise. Try your hand at the quiz question below.
The answer is Rs. 3800. Over 50 years, Rs. 1 increases by 3,80,000%! This is probably why Einstein called compounding the eighth wonder of the world.
Let's take a more real world example. One of our users is 23 years old. They said to us: "I can save only 500 rupees every month, but that seems so small".
Saving Rs. 500 each month at 6% rate of interest would leave them with Rs. 34,885 in 5 years. That seems like a large sum for a few missed coffees every month, right? Saving does not mean that you need to miss out on the things you like – just make sure you are saving something, even small, that you are comfortable with.
To understand why time has this outsize impact, we need to look at the formula for compound interest.
You can see from the formula that the final value of the investment grows linearly with the principal sum. If the principal doubles, the final investment value also doubles. But the final value of the investment grows exponentially with time. At a 6% rate of interest, doubling the time period from 5 to 10 years, more than doubles the final investment amount. To 2.35 times the principal amount to be precise.
This is why we have a cardinal saying at Easyplan – Start early, even if you start small.
Of course, there is another important factor which is the rate of return or interest. That also makes a significant difference. However, that higher rate of return is also associated with risk. We will cover how to navigate the risk-return trade-off in future posts.


The bikepacking.com's Los Tres Volcanes route goes around Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, and Chimborazo. It's not really part of their TEMBR route (Trans Ecuador Mountain Bike Route), but it can be woven into the middle of it for an epic ride (and hike-a-bike) through some amazing volcanic landscapes.
After our major hike-a-bike up Yanaurca de Piñan on the TEMBR singletrack route, Neon decided to strip his bike down to the bare minimum for our ride on the Los Tres Volcanes route. It turns out that the local Ecuadorian postal service "Correos del Ecuador" has a service similar to our post office "general delivery" in the U.S., where they'll hold packages for up to 30 days time*, so we shipped a rather sizable box south to Cuenca for only ~$6.
We left Tumbaco on the TEMBR dirt road version, following a series of mostly cobblestone roads to Pintag where we hooked up with the Bikepacking.com Los Tres Volcanes route. We gained a dirt road shortly out of Pintag, then cobblestone roads for most of the afternoon.
The ride from Pintag to Cotopaxi was mostly on cobblestone roads, but not your average cobblestone roads—these were soul sucking, bone shattering, energy sucking cobblestones—until we turned onto a smaller road with time polished little river rock cobbles. The smoother surface slowly lifted my mood, and my energy.
I was pretty happy to come across this mini forest of Polylepis as we rode toward Cotopaxi. Polylepis is thought to be the highest flowering tree in the world. They only grow at mid to high elevations in the tropical Andes, and there aren't many large stands of them left.
After a few more kilometers we turned onto a sandy dirt road. It was heaven, fast, smooth, sinuous dirt. Cotopaxi started to show itself through the cloud layer. Our moods shifted. The terrain was perfect for camping, empty and wild, with panoramic vistas. We rode a few more kilometers, along the outskirts of Cotopaxi National Park (riding on the singletrack route for a short bit to avoid going to Tambopaxi Lodge), until we had the perfect view of the mountain, before pitching our tent.
The sky was full of stars when I woke to pee in the night. My eyes immediately focused on Pleiades (my favorite constellation), then Cassiopeia. Cotopaxi was perfectly clear, like a giant on the horizon. I stood there just staring in awe, until I was too cold and began to shiver uncontrollably, before returning to my cozy quilt.
We woke to puffy clouds and blue skies. The air was crisp, near freezing, but the sun was shining, and considering we were at 3,710 meters (12,172 ft) it felt surprisingly pleasant (for how cold it was). The sun here is so intense that even on chilly crisp freezing mornings it can feel quite nice out, but when the sun dips behind a cloud, it feels instantly freezing. It had me unzipping my jacket to try to keep from sweating, then rezipping five minutes later (when it went behind a cloud) to keep from freezing.
We followed good dirt roads for most of the day. The views from the bike were otherworldly, large and small boulders dotted the landscape, small hills/mounds rose from the flat, and Cotopaxi stood tall like a god surveying its lands. When we stopped to eat I could see that what I thought was just a carpet of grass covering the surface, was actually a variety of different plants: mosses, lichens, ferns, lycopodium, flowers, and so much more.
Shortly after lunch we came upon a locked gate, the first of many we'd encounter on our way to Lasso. Thankfully we'd had a lot of practice getting our bikes up, over, and under locked gates during our time in Mexico, so we were able do these fairly efficiently.
After hauling our bikes over the gate, we dropped into a big wide valley and followed nice double track along the Rio Tamboyacu.
I'm not sure what these shallow pits were, but they reminded me of the tomb sites at Tierra Dentro in Colombia.
We passed several signs, after the locked gate, that suggested the area is a preserve of the local paramo. But obviously the road still sees a lot of traffic.
The roads were so nice that we rode several kilometers past one of our turns before realizing it. We backtracked to where we left our route, to find another locked gate. This one was a little tricker to get the bikes around. The gate was quite tall, so we opted to take our bikes over the berm fence* beside the gate, but that was also difficult because there was a three foot deep ditch fence on either side of the gate as well.
[* a lot of fences in rural Ecuador are earthen fences, where a deep ditch is dug around an area, and often in combination with a berm (utilizing the dirt that came out of the ditch).
We made it across the gate and fence to an old, mostly unused, two-track road that eventually deteriorated into meandering cow paths.
After a short while we came to another gate, thankfully this one was unlocked, but the cow on the other side gave us that look like he'd never seen the likes of anything like us before.
Shortly after that we came to another gate, also unlocked. We trudged through ten inch deep sticky mud, for thirty feet, before reaching dry ground. Several dogs came running out, barking, snarling, and growling. Usually I find this annoying, but we had just entered someone's private homestead through a closed gate–so I looked at them and said " I know, I know, but this is where our track went. Surely you've seen the likes of us before"? They sniffed my ankles, growling a little under their breath (and making me a little nervous), but eventually they wandered off, in the direction we were heading.
We passed a couple of buildings, then came to another gate where several men were working. It always amazes me here how no one seems alarmed by our presence. They do very often look at us as though we're very strange and foreign, but not like "hey, what are you doing on my land". Instead they smile and welcome us, ask us where we're heading and give us directions.
Looking back on the homestead.
After looking at our map, I realized where we had missed our turn and then backtracked to the locked gate with the earthen fence, we could have just continued down the nice road and it would have taken us around to the same place to cross the Rio Tambo, without having gone through the homestead. But then we would have missed this great interaction, which now, looking back, holds a very strong memory for me.
When we reached the tiny village of Tambo there were three gates to choose from, and our track made little circles on the map. We finally decided on one of the gates, but just in case, Neon also hailed directions from a local that was nearby. The local asked where we were heading, to which we replied "Mulaló" (a small town near the Panamerican highway). He pointed us in the right direction, adding "just follow the green".
The tiny settlement of Tambo.
Neon, getting directions from the local.
Horse corrals in the tiny settlement of Tambo.
Quilindaña rising above the ridge.
We continued on, following the green, for a few more kilometers before stopping to camp near a hand-dug mini-canal.
Near sunset the clouds cleared just enough for us to get a glimpse of Antisana. The views on this route have been incredible.
The next morning we continued on "the green", until our route dropped down to the Rio Tambo, and then for what seemed like an unnecessary hike-a-bike along the Rio Tambo, only to climb back up a "carry your bike" style hike-a-bike back to the green. My advice to future riders here is to just follow the green and don't drop down to the Rio Tambo after the small settlement of Tambo.
Snack break on the soggy paramo.
By midday we started climbing up to the pass. It was hard work, but there was the promise of a road on the other side.
It's steeper than it looks!
We encountered a lot of deep mud on the "trail" from the pass to where a road began to emerge. It never looked very deep, maybe an inch or two, but my rear tire was repeatedly sucked into a muddy void all the way past the brake caliper. When we finally reached drier, less muddy, ground I gave my brakes a good hosing off with my bike bottle. Shortly after we finally reached more of a road. It was highly eroded in places, but completely ridable for two wheels.
On the way down we encountered several more locked gates (four of them after the pass if I'm remembering correctly).
It rained the whole day, raining harder as we went down in elevation, so this locked gate (above) was the last photo I took. From this gate the route goes on through logging land, passing through several more locked gates before dropping down into a narrow river valley for one last steep uphill, followed by a sweet descent into Mulaló, and then a short ride on dirt into Lasso.
It's pretty special to get to be in these places. I don't always remember that at the time. Sometimes, in the moment, it feels like pure bliss, and other times I'm like "why does the route go this way", or this would be nice "if only …", but looking back I realize it was all magic and I wouldn't change a single thing. I keep trying to remind myself of that as I continue forward on this journey, to just be present, and that the magic is there if I'm open to it.
Pleiades is my favorite too! I love looking at it through binoculars; alone it would be worth buying a telescope or a spotting scope.
As usual,,, wow, you guys are tough.
You are in a never-ending place of astonishing mountain views, and gates that beg to be passed. I hope you got to Cuenca on time.

Google's Schmidt Leads Spongecell Funding
by Laurie Sullivan @lauriesullivan, June 6, 2011
Spongecell has caught the attention of Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt. He, along with Jim Pallotta, chairman and managing director at Raptor Group, led the interactive display ad company's latest round of VC financing. Brian Rooney, board member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and SilverHaze Partners also participated in the funding announced Monday. This round -- nearly $1 million -- brings the total to about $4 million.
Prior VC funding from Halo Venture Partners, The Pilot Group and SilverHaze Partners in 2007 gave the founding team of Carnegie Mellon computer science graduates financial support to turn an idea based on widgets into ad units.
Spongecell CEO and Co-founder Ben Kartzman said the founders set out to design the ad unit between 2006 and 2007 after brands made it clear they wanted the interactive features embedded in ad units, not widgets. By 2008, he said, the company began to see success, growing the client base from about 10 in 2009 to more than 250 campaigns in 2010. Today, the company supports 450 campaigns, according to Spongecell Marketing Manager Dan Silver.
Today the widget concept integrates into standard banner ads interactive features such as Google Maps, Facebook Likes, Twitter streams, YouTube videos, and the ability to download a coupon -- all within 48 hours. The content in the dynamic ad units also can update based on what someone might enter into a Web-based spreadsheet. It could take weeks for traditional creative agencies to do something similar, but with Spongecell's analytics engine, ad server and toolkit the process has been reduced to days.
The video integration required an infrastructure upgrade to the content delivering network and user interface, Kartzman said in an interview late last year.
By 2015, Google estimates that 50% of all display ads will include video, social media and real-time bidding.
It appears the relationship between Spongecell founders and Schmidt has been brewing since late last year. Spongecell founders were "in Eric Schmidt's office Thursday of last week and he said everything we're doing is in line with our philosophy," Kartzman told MediaPost during an interview in December. "He told us the next generation of ads should be dynamic and engaging. It can't be about the click."

John's Arcade checks out Pintastic New England, the free play room and Star Wars Pinball.
Here I am, at Pintastic New England, playing Star Wars, trying to take in as much information as I could. Here are my very early comments on the game.
Although some of Mr. Sullivan's tropes from previous games are there, that didn't get in the way of the fun. Scoring is out of whack with the multipliers and the end of ball bonus, but I like the new idea on how to use the moving X shots to your advantage.
Although some of Mr. Ritchie's tropes from previous games are there, it didn't feel like I was playing AC / DC Pinball or Spider-Man.
FAST, FAST FAST! SPEED! PUT YOUR FLIPPER DOWN AFTER YOU FLIP THE BALL! This is Star Wars on Methamphetamine, or a least a fever dream.
You progress through the story … sort of … in a Game of Thrones pinball kind of way.
It sounds fantastic! I'd like a headphone jack, please.

Solitude, isolation, and hot spring perfection in one of the most beautiful, remote, and desolate places in the United States in the shadow of Black Rock Point.
Located along the Applegate Trail, Black Rock Hot Spring was the first watering hole for emigrants as they crossed the vast playa of the Black Rock Desert.
Getting there today is no easy task, particularly after it rains when the playa is totally impassable. The only "road" on official maps (whether Google or USGS topos) is an unmaintained dirt/mud trail that leads directly south from the north off of Soldier Meadow & County Road 217 past Double Hot Springs eventually ending at the clearly marked Black Rock Hot Springs.
The most direct way is across the playa towards the northwest arm where eventually a dirt road will appear. The are numerous access roads to the playa from either Jungo Road along Jungo Road / County Road 49 along the southeastern edge or from County Road 34 and Soldier Meadow Road.
The spring itself is comprised of two connected pools, with the main source of heat being from the smaller of the pools to the east. Do not enter the smaller pool. Only enter the main pool via the large, sturdy dock that leads into the center.
There are several camping sites near the hot spring (in Nevada you must always camp at least 300 ft away from a water source) and the nearby hike to the top of Black Rock Point is absolutely worth it.
As always please practice the principles of Leave No Trace and leave the Conservation Area as you found it for future generations to enjoy.
Note: for new visitors to Black Rock Desert it is always a good idea to drop by the Friends of the Black Rock Desert office in Gerlach for the latest info on desert and playa conditions. The desert can be a remote & unforgiving place with no facilities. They are there to help!


Our benchmark Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the diverse character and rich tapestry of our mountain vineyard. An array of clones is planted on two exposed peaks, each distinctive for its topography and soils of fractured rock or volcanic uplift. The 2013 vintage reflects its warm growing year giving us a wine of richness and understated power.
2012 marks our third release of the Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon and represents a broad view of our mountain vineyard blocks. An array of clones is planted on two exposed peaks where vines of low vigor produce small berries resulting in a wine of deep concentration and refinement. The stellar 2012 growing season presents an exemplary display of site purity and expression.
Split Rock is a selection from younger vines that conform to the undulating hillsides beneath their rows. Roots struggle less here, soils are deeper, more fertile. Berries grow plumper and rounder creating a wine that is approachablele in its youth. We expect the Split Rock to be expressive of bright fruit and softer tannins. And while this is true for this year's Split Rock, it is also more expansive, broader, richer!
At first sip it is clear there is distinction in our second release, the 2014 Estate Malbec. The heightened complexity and apparent tannins come from Block A where the sturdy Cabernet Clone 341 is planted. The addition of Cabernet Clone 337 from Block G gives a softening counter-balance. Reigning above all is the glorious Malbec. Its subtle approach explodes deep and expansive. Is it too bold to say, 'this wine will blow your mind'. 75% Malbec, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. 115 cases made. Bottled June 22, 2015.
Barely four acres of chardonnay are nestled in one of our coolest spots, a gentle rising slope above Mark West Creek. This site sits at the lowest elevation of all our blocks and is planted to a selection of Robert Young which originated from the old Wente Vineyard. Our second release is elegant, restrained and belies the notion of a California Chardonnay.

Cask sample. Very deep colour. Massive amount of fruit and extract. Very sumptuous. Mocha coffee flavours and richness. Rich, sweet and quite dramatic. Rather pinched, astringent, oaky finish. Big, though. Hints of the flirtatious attraction of a top burgundy although perhaps slightly more acidity than one would expect in a truly great grand cru.
A mature yet attractively fresh nose offers up floral, earthy and spicy red berry fruit aromas that are showing traces of secondary development and are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is a really lovely mouth feel to the beautifully well-detailed middle weight flavors that display a subtle mineral streak before culminating in a complex, balanced and lingering finish where a touch of the wood influence resurfaces. There isn't much unresolved tannin remaining and for my taste this has arrived on the front edge of its peak drinkability though it should remain here for at least another decade. 2001 is an elegant vintage for this wine and I very much like it.


Fine jewelry brand, Braesen recently rebranded and renamed itself as Anakao. The move came after the company was embroiled in a trademark issue from a UK-based company working in the same sector. The UK-based company had raised objection to the name used by the jewelry company. It was at last year's International Jewelry London that Anakaolaunched itself as Braesen.
The CEO of the company, VinaySoudakarsaid that rebranding was quite a setback for the company but they are looking at this as an opportunity to fine-tune the brand image and focus on establishing the brand identity of the company.
On the occasion, the jewelry company not only launched its new look but also unveiled a new website. The name of the website is www.anakao-jewellery.com.
The company decided to rename itself after a small fishing village in Madagascar, Anakao a place which is still virtually untouched by modernity. As a company, Anakao deals with fine jewelry. It specializes in creating jewelry sets with 18 carat gold, which are set with colored gemstones and diamonds. The fact that Anakaobelieves in high-quality craftsmanship, makes use of modern and innovative techniques and refines jewelry designs, makes it a company to look out for.

China has sent one of its most modern warships to protect vessels extracting thousands of its citizens from Libya, in the Asian power's first naval operation in the Mediterranean Sea and its first deployment of military hardware in a civilian evacuation mission.
The Chinese navy diverted the Xuzhou, a 4,000 ton missile frigate, from anti-piracy patrols off the coast of Somalia and dispatched it to the Libyan coast on Thursday, according to a statement on the Chinese Defense Ministry's web site.
A Chinese navy convoy prepares to set sail for the Gulf of Aden on an anti-piracy mission, Feb. 21, 2011 in Zhoushan.
The Chinese government has also sent civilian ships and aircraft to evacuate about half of the roughly 30,000 Chinese citizens Libya amid escalating violence there, in what the state-run Xinhua news agency has described as China's biggest civilian evacuation operation.
The evacuation reflects the mounting pressure on China's government to protect the growing number of Chinese citizens living and working overseas, especially in unstable regions where China is seeking supplies of oil and other key raw materials to feed its booming economy.
The Xuzhou's deployment also illustrates the Chinese navy's increasing capacity to operate far beyond China's own shores in order to protect the country's perceived interests, including the security of its businesses and citizens.
As well as boosting the navy's public image, the Xuzhou's deployment could help it secure future funding, particularly for a program to develop aircraft carriers, according to Andrew Erickson and Gabe Collins of China Signpost, a website providing analysis and policy recommendations on China.
"Chinese policymakers now have a precedent for future military operations in areas where the lives and property of expatriate PRC (People's Republic of China) citizens come under threat," they wrote in a commentary on the deployment.
The two-year-old Xuzhou, which is armed with weapons including HHQ-16 surface-to-air missiles and carries a Z-9 helicopter, was one of three Chinese ships taking part in joint international anti-piracy patrols in the Gulf of Aden.
China's participation in those patrols, starting in January 2009, was seen as a milestone in the country's naval development, as its warships had not actively patrolled outside China's own waters before, and had not visited the African coast for several centuries.
China's navy has staged joint exercises and visited ports all around the world in recent years: Chinese warships visited Egypt, Italy and Greece last year. But they have never before launched a real operation in the Mediterranean.
India and South Korea are also sending warships to help evacuate their citizens from Libya, highlighting the growing capabilities of navies elsewhere in Asia, which has sparked fears of a regional arms race.
The U.S. and its allies in Asia, especially Japan, have repeatedly expressed concern about how China plans to use its rapidly expanding military powers and have started to boost their own arsenals and defense ties in response.
U.S. officials have been particularly alarmed by China's imminent deployment of its first aircraft carrier, and a "carrier-killing" anti-ship ballistic missile, as well as the unveiling of its stealth fighter prototype last month.
China says its military modernization does not threaten any other country. But active-duty and retired military officers alarmed many of China's neighbors last year by calling for Beijing to take a tougher stance on territorial disputes, especially in the East China Sea and South China Sea.
In the last month, however, Chinese officials and analysts appear to have been trying to ease those concerns by playing down the capabilities and ambitions of the People's Liberation Army, or PLA, and emphasizing the importance of international cooperation.
One of China's most hawkish military commentators, Rear Admiral Yang Yi, wrote a commentary, published Thursday, in which he praised the national military strategy paper released by the Pentagon this month (PDF).
"We should candidly tell the U.S. that the PLA has neither the capability nor the intention to challenge the U.S. for both regional and global military superiority," Adm. Yang, a former head of strategic studies at the PLA's National Defense University, wrote on the Chinese-language website of the Global Times newspaper. "[We] don't have any goal to pursue regional military hegemony, and China's sole objective of military modernization is to protect our national security and development interests."
Adm. Yang has been a vocal critic of U.S.-South Korean joint military exercises in the Yellow Sea and warned Vietnam it would regret its decision to hold joint naval drills with the U.S. in a disputed part of the South China Sea late last year. He also warned the U.S. in 2009 to stay out of affairs between the mainland and Taiwan.

What can be done to protect the incredibly long-lived Greenland shark?
Posted on August 16, 2016 by Guest Writer
Sonja Fordham
President, Shark Advocates International
Sonja Fordham founded Shark Advocates International as a project of The Ocean Foundation in 2010 based on her two decades of shark conservation experience at Ocean Conservancy. She is Deputy Chair of the IUCN Shark Specialist Group and Conservation Committee Chair for the American Elasmobranch Society, has co-authored numerous publications on shark fisheries management, and serves on most of the U.S. federal and state government advisory panels relevant to sharks and rays. Her awards include the U.S. Department of Commerce Environmental Hero Award, the Peter Benchley Shark Conservation Award, and the IUCN Harry Messel Award for Conservation Leadership.
A new study confirming the mysterious deepsea Greenland Shark as the world's longest lived vertebrate has made huge news in the last few days – from Science News and BBC to People magazine and the Wall Street Journal. While some scientists are questioning whether these sharks live quite as long as estimated (392 years ± 120), most agree they could well live for a century or two and – as a result — are particularly vulnerable to overfishing. Experts also warn that risks to Greenland sharks may be increasing as melting sea ice changes Arctic ecosystems and makes fishing in the region more feasible. Study authors are among those urging a precautionary approach to the species' conservation. In other words, an incomplete picture of status and threats should not be used as an excuse for inaction. So what might be threatening Greenland sharks today, and which upcoming policy opportunities might warrant consideration, given worldwide interest in these jaw-dropping findings? To come up with some ideas, I first took a look back.

Z Luccy pocházející Franchi pracoval po studiích od roku 1674 ve Florencii. Podle rodiště byl znám jako Il Lucchese a společně s Alessandrem Allorim a Pierem Dandinim převzal po smrti Justa Sustermanse od roku 1674 na téměř tři desetiletí roli nejvýznamnějšího malíře města. Pro svou dominantní roli ve Florencii byl Franchi čtyřikrát zvolen konzulem Akademie krásných umění. Od roku 1686 byl intenzivně podporován Vittorií della Rovere, velkovévodkyní toskánskou a ujal se jen neoficiálně existujícího úřadu dvorního malíře. Jeho tvorba obsahuje mnoho portrétů vysoké florentské šlechty (obzvláště Medicejských), měšťanstva i malby s náboženskými motivy.

Krátce před svou smrtí dokončil Franchi roku 1709 umělecké pojednání, které je jedním z nejvýznamnějších příkladů hodnocení Leonarda da Vinciho v období baroka. Rukopis, který je dnes uložen ve florentském státním archívu, byl vydán Giuseppem Rigaccim až posmrtně roku 1739. Nové vydání je z roku 2002.

Franchi byl ve spojení s prominentními umělci, historiky umění, sběrateli a učenci v celé Itálii, mezi jinými to byli Francesco Maria Niccolò Gabburri a Pellegrino Antonio Orlandi.

Tech Titans Band Together in Effort to Limit Government Surveillance
The heads of eight of the U.S.'s largest tech companies have started a campaign for new limits on how the government collects user information
By Nate Rawlings @naterawlingsDec. 09, 2013
The biggest names in tech launched their staunchest effort yet to change the way the U.S. and other governments collect user data from the Internet. The heads of eight of America's largest tech companies — a roster that includes Google's Larry Page, Yahoo's Marissa Mayer and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook — endorsed the campaign to call for new limits on government surveillance.
All together, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, LinkedIn and AOL issued an open letter to President Obama and members of Congress calling for reforms and restrictions on government surveillance. "While the undersigned companies understand that governments need to take action to protect their citizens' safety and security, we strongly believe that current laws and practices need to be reformed," the CEOs said.
Tech giants are scrambling to regain users' trust in the wake of former NSA contractor Edward Snowden's leaked documents that showed a high frequency of government snooping on people's online activities. Since then, the largest Internet companies have attempted to become more transparent about the NSA's surveillance requests in an effort to prove they're not government stooges — and a path to reform is laid out in this latest open letter.
The Reform Government Surveillance effort calls for five changes: limiting government authority to collect user information; better oversight and accountability of intelligence agencies, more transparency about the government's demands; respect for the free flow of data across borders; and avoiding conflicts between governments.
"The balance in many countries has tipped too far in favor of the state and away from the rights of the individual — rights that are enshrined in our Constitution," the letter says. "This undermines the freedoms we all cherish. It's time for a change."


Phil Dowd is, I reckon, one of the better referees in the premier league. Watching the match yesterday, I originally thought that he gave some very generous decisions in Chelsea's favour, I still think that but I now realise he gave at least one goal to United that was offside. Yesterdays match was probably the most bizzarre I've ever seen between two top teams. United's usual precision of passing was lacking and there was some very sloppy play from Uniteds midfield. Couple that with some very unusual waste's of good opportunity from Chelsea, Ramires and Fernando Torres in particular (in fact Torres, more infamous) meant that this was as far from the usual keep it tight game that United and Chelsea usually serve, as can be. It was a great help to United that Chelsea insist on having a clearly past-it John Terry as skipper and first choice centre half. Whilst Chris Smalling was fractionally offside for United's first goal, Chelsea's marking was diabolical. It wasn't as if Smalling was offside through a well marshalled Chelsea defence but by a shambolic and incoherent back four which left John Terry on his own, tracking back. By thirty minutes, Chelsea had spurned three great goal scoring oportunities from Torres and Ramires, but that was to get much better later.
Nani scored a belter to make it 2-0, he cut through the Chelsea defence like a hot knife through butter to hit, from twenty yards, a screamer which went flying past Petr Cech's right hand side.
Phil Jones was immense yesterday, he has made a massive impression on everybody at Old Trafford since his debut. Most people, myself included were pretty ignorant of him until he came to Old Trafford but now, he looks like such an imposing figure and for such a big lad, surprisingly nimble footed. He dosen't as much dance and skip his way through a defence, like Nani, as he just goes through them like a light footed tank. It's hard to believe he's only nineteen years old.
After the recent anihilation of Arsenal, the Stretford end serenaded Chelsea with Are you Arsenal in disguise ? Chelsea, who had in Ashley Cole one ex Arsenal player decided to answer that by bringing on another ex Arsenal player at half time in Nicholas Anelka. It took him all of thirty seconds to make an impact by threading a brilliant pass through to Torres who dinked the ball over De Gea to make it 3-1.
United's counter attacking play can be devastating. Juan Mata had a shot on Uniteds goal which was brilliantly saved by David De Gea, Chelsea took a short corner, lost possession and within ten seconds, United had hit the bar through Nani and then won a penalty. Wayne Rooney took the penalty and his standing foot slipped just like David Beckham in Turkey in 2003 and also more celebrated by United fans, John Terry in Moscow in 2008.
Torres missed three great chances yesterday but the one that everybody will remember and the one that'll have Ronnie Rosenthal doing cartwheels in gratitude, is the open goal miss in front a disbelieving & delirious Stretford End with five minutes to go. As Torres controlled the ball and rounds De Gea like the top class centre forward we know he is, I'm mentally preparing for 3-2 and a late siege on United's goal. The crowds reactions was like none I've witnessed in my thirty years of watching football. Relief, derision and the sound of scornful laughter from at least 73000 people. Even the Chelsea fans in the L stand behind me were laughing, though in a more rueful and resigned manner than we were. Chelseas heart, unsurprisingly vanished after the Torres miss, so much so that a bad miss by Dimitar Berbatov in the last minute will be, by most people, forgotten.

Data Warehouse Experts Team with Cloudera to Accelerate Adoption of Apache Hadoop-based Business Solutions.
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 06, 2012 Caserta Concepts, the industry leader in data warehousing analytics, today announced it has teamed with Cloudera, the leading provider of Apache Hadoop-based data management software, services and training, as a member of its Cloudera Connect Partner Program. The program, designed to propagate the innovative use of Apache Hadoop for a range of business applications is a comprehensive ecosystem of independent hardware vendors (IHVs), independent software vendors (ISVs), OEMs, VARs, systems integrators, (SIs), services partners and training partners. Caserta Concepts specializes in correlating traditional data with Big Data while Cloudera provides the application infrastructure for the development of industry-leading solutions.
"For clients who want to get an early competitive advantage leveraging Big Data, this partnership allows them to be even smarter about their customers, act more quickly on changes in their environment, and more accurately predict near-future demand," said Joe Caserta, CEO and Founder of Caserta Concepts.
Caserta Concepts joins the world's largest ecosystem of vendors and service providers driving innovation and adoption of solutions leveraging the Apache Hadoop platform. Cloudera Connect members receive unprecedented access to Cloudera's expansive toolset of Hadoop training, knowledgebase and marketing resources.
While many clients are pursuing pure Hadoop solutions for standalone applications, many others are struggling to determine how Big Data can help improve operations with their existing customers. Caserta Concepts provide solutions that link existing enterprise data and Big Data.
Enterprises are now seeing the advantages of combining their own RDBMS-driven data with non-enterprise, unstructured and social data. For example, Caserta Concepts clients are mapping social data and sentiment to their own operational metrics to create new, real-time predictors of sales spikes and customer demand shifts. For these projects, Caserta Concepts creates a data warehouse architecture that uses Hadoop and Hive in concert with their clients' RDBMS, ETL and Business Intelligence solutions – a new paradigm for information management.

Nearly everyone agrees that Congress is nonresponsive. Whether by design or happenstance, political leadership seems content to be stuck in the 20th Century. It's like they think we're not watching and we don't see everything that's really going on.
I believe that there's a way for Us to make Congress more responsive without changing the system.
Currently, major party leadership in Congress controls the agenda and the narrative to benefit private and political interests over the will of the people. Just two people have the final word and dictate the Congressional calendar. Most Congress People are helpless to do anything other than comply and side with the party that sent them to Congress. That's what most of them do, with occasional actions and regular fist shaking.
The difference between recent Congressional membership and membership in past Congresses is the absence of Moderate Republican and Democratic members. Once numbering hundreds, there are now just a handful.
There are Americans right this minute who want to Run for Congress and humbly serve our interests as part of a Moderate red and blue caucus who can influence and possibly control the agenda over party leadership and who will moderate discussions that focus on policies that promote equality of opportunity and economic certainty.
They're discouraged by the fact that less than 10% of American Voters turnout at Primary elections. Partisan voters who nominate the most partisan candidates. When the rest of us show up in November, most elections are already decided and we send the most partisan candidates to Congress. We lose.
Winning numbers are on our side. 235 Million Americans are eligible to vote. If the normal 65% turnout of General elections occurred at Primaries, we win. That's it.
Americans who want to Run for Congress need to know whether more of Us than usual will turnout and Vote in the 2022 Primary elections. In turn, we need to know whether they are likely to represent Us.
Let's listen to them and share what we learn.
Affordable Priorities
Let's nominate red and blue candidates from the Primaries who are most likely to represent the "affordable priorities" of most Americans. Championing American values on a Budget! What a novel concept.
Let's do this in 2022 and see how it works. There only seems to be an upside for We The People.

Staircases 101. Learn the basics of staircases.
A handcrafted staircase can very well be the focal point of your project and generally affects the character of your interior with its design and location.
Staircase construction is governed by the national and local building codes (CNBC – Canadian National Building Code). Codes regulate and set limits to the overall stair height, step width, rise and tread depth as well as the acceptable amount of variation between the individual steps.


I own two TAKA 3 4.5 5.3 sails and one 4.7 TAKA 5. There is some improvement in the new TAKA it feels super light in hands and just a bit more responsive. I sail 60 - 70 % in sideonshore cond . In a email response i got from pritchard who uses them a lot in such conditions he told to rig them with min 1 downhaul with min outhaul. The sails for sure rocks in side shore and side off conditions but in sideonshore it s more tricky Sometime i feel less power drive during the turn and in straight line it s grunty. When sailing in sideonshore adaptation is for sure needed . ANy thoughts ?
I'm not an Ezzy user and I'm not sure what you are asking here, specifically.
The Taka is well liked by the people I know who use them but it's worth noting they are effectively a three batten 'soft' sail, and that means they deposed at the luff as well as at the head. This is good for true wave riding but the downside is that you'd get more top-end stability from a sail with more battens.
The general thinking is also that you need more powerful sails for sailing in cross-on conditions whereas in cross to cross-off the increase in apparent wind when on the wave means that flatter sails that go more neutral when feathered are usually preferred.
It's always nice to hear how others rig their gear but to be honest if you aren't the same weight as them and aren't sailing from the same launch spot then other people's specific settings are pretty irrelevant. Chances are that their mast is not exactly the same as yours either.
But this is about feel. If you like the sails then stick with them.
Are you sure you're not trying to sail in the same angle of attack with side-on, as well as side-off?
They should be nowhere near the same.
Interesting thread. I understand none of it!
Please share your experiences with TAKA sails in side on shore days Do you like it ?
Taka is not a flat sail like typical sideshore sails 5.3 goes for 1.63 boom !!!
I have been running Taka 2's, 3, and currently 4's for a while now - They keep improving each version. Although I don't sail a lot in cross on, when I do, I have found they still perform great. They have lots of power if you rig them with a deeper profile (less out haul and less down haul), Iv'e always found you need a bit more power in cross onshore. So for light to moderate cross onshore I would rig them like that, if it's stronger, you can flatten them out more to keep the handling light. They really are a diverse sail with lots of range. I would say they do prefer more constant wind than super gusty (like most sails). I have used them in all conditions for the last 3+ years and have found that with the combination of a deeper profile and super gusty wind they can pull you around a bit in those conditions. That being said, they still handle those conditions pretty well and are an awesome sail with huge range - it's a small price to pay considering how amazing they are in all other conditions.
I have yet to try the Elite which is suppose to be more of an all round sail for all conditions and I do have a set on order and look forward to seeing how they differ from the Taka's. I think that I will eventually use a quiver of Takas and Elites, Taka for my 5.3 - 4.7 and Elites for smaller. I don't think I would want to use a Taka in 50+knts due to my comments above with super gusty wind. I have used my Taka 4.1 in gusty 30-40knts and it still went pretty well, I just think the Elite would be better in those conditions.
Thank you for your answers I have similar feedback from the Taka sails . They are powerful even for sideonshore days soft huge range unbelievable low end remarkable high end light in hands jumping passing the waves riding The only thing is that as by nature they tend to depower in the turn I feel I might want better a more powerful onshore sail or it could be just a matter of technique or just rigging the sail correctly Need more testing .Furthermore the min 2 down min outhaul rigging make you feel weird while sailing as the sail has a lot of torque You need to adapt your sailing at least for some time before feeling comfortable with it .
I am also thinking about the Severne blade pro in 5.7 ( negatives price must buy a useless 430) but a friend who has 2018 s1 pro 5.6 , tried my 5.3 Taka and told that the taka is better in the low wind range.
My largest sail is a 5.7 3 batten Goya Fringe. That slots into the range really well because it doesn't feel too different, but definitely provides more power & torque than the Taka 5.3. Makes pumping in super light conditions much better. Also I can use it with an Ezzy 430 mast.
Goya masts are 64.5 / 79, that's a difference of 14.5 vs a difference of 15 for Ezzy. So that sounds really similar. But the lower numbers for the Ezzy mast suggest it is a stiffer mast. What is the impact of a stiffer mast, and at 85 kg would I even notice a difference?

MRTI: Consistent Kaiser leads Indy Lights into Iowa
By Kyle LavigneJul 3, 2017, 3:23 PM EDT

The 2017 Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires season has been feast or famine for some drivers expected to be championship favorites.
Colton Herta has two wins and one additional podium, but has also recorded five finishes of tenth or worse. Aaron Telitz, too, is a race winner this year and has four additional finishes of fifth or better to his name, but his season has also been blighted by three finishes of 11th or worse.
Matheus Leist (15th and 11th), Nico Jamin (13th and 14th), and Zachary Claman De Melo (14th, 11th, and 10th) are also race winners who have suffered poor finishes at various times this year.
This highlights a remarkable aspect of Kyle Kaiser's 2017 campaign. The Juncos Racing driver, in his third Indy Lights season, has finished every lap of the season so far, scored a victory at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course (Race 2), finished on the podium five additional times, and has a worst finish of ninth. In fact, his season results run as follows: 6-4-2-2-3-1-9-3-2.
The remarkable run of consistency has propelled Kaiser to the lead of the Indy Lights championship as the series heads to Iowa Speedway next weekend.

However, one should not mistake Kaiser's consistency for conservative driving. As he explained after Road America, running conservatively could leave him vulnerable to other competitors, so he remains as aggressive as he can be.
"I don't want to put myself at risk by not being defensive or not being aggressive. I'm trying to drive the way I normally drive and hope everybody else respects the racing room," Kaiser asserted.
Multiple factors have converged to see Kaiser leap to the fore, but the engineering side of the team may be the biggest. Kaiser currently works with Peter Dempsey, a former competitor in the Mazda Road to Indy Presented by Cooper Tires and current Indy Lights engineer at Juncos Racing, and the relationship between the two has been a productive one.
"I like Peter a lot," Kaiser said of Dempsey's influence. "He worked with me in Pro Mazda, so we had a really good relationship. He's been super helpful."
The leadership of Juncos Technical Director Ernesto Gonella has also been a big influence. And while his style is a little unorthodox, as Kaiser explained, it's highly effective.
"He just goes by feel. Every morning, he goes 'What does the air feel like?' He's really cool, I love the way he works. He totally relates to the driver, which makes it a lot easier."
The next race at Iowa Speedway presents a unique challenge for Indy Lights as the lone short oval on the calendar, and Kaiser has personal experience with the difficulties of driving on short ovals. "I had a little accident there last year in practice, and that really was a wake-up call. You got to respect these short ovals."
However, given that his first Indy Lights win came on a short oval (Phoenix Raceway, 2016), Kaiser is confident his run of success will continue. "I like the short ovals. I got my first win at Phoenix, so I think we'll have a good setup and hopefully we'll be up front again."
Kaiser heads to Iowa Speedway with a 27-point lead over Matheus Leist in the championship standings.

Don't Just Tell Me, Show Me – How to Write with Emotion
Make me feel your story, make me sense it and experience it.
Take me into your world, and let me live it with your protagonist.
I'm an emotive writer, and my pieces concentrate much on the senses and the old adage: show, not tell. Not every writer swears by this approach, but my writing works more in this field than with explanatory description.
Emotions rule our world and fuel our stories, without emotion our stories become a boring and grim lists of actions. Stories begin with a dilemma and continue with the reactions to that impasse. All our reactions are emotional, we're human beings, not robots, and even if you're writing about robots, your story will need emotional content if it is to survive!
Showing emotion is vital to fire up your writing.
Life and Characters © Lisa Shambrook
Don't tell me your protagonist is angry, show me their fury, show me the whites of their eyes, that vein that throbs in their temple, the clenching of fists, and the heat flushing through their body… Don't tell me your character is sad, show me them picking at their food, their trembling chin, glistening eyes, show me how their voice breaks as they utter words, and how their hopelessness demonstrates itself by listless expressions and hands hanging at their sides… Don't just say they're happy, let me see their mouth curl in delight, their laughter lines, how they dance as they walk, a lightness of being, their confidence and relaxed shoulders…
Writers can use speech to demonstrate emotions, but nonverbal cues are even more important. We are told that body language conveys more information than words ever can. Statistics say that: words (what is said) account for 7% of the overall message we hear, tone of voice (how it is said) accounts for 38% and body language accounts for 55%…so 93% of all communication is nonverbal.
Let's look at an example, and because May was Mental Health Awareness Month, and I missed it due to chaotic family obligations, let's look at anxiety:
In this chapter from 'Beneath the Old Oak' Meg's mum is getting impatient, irritated and her anxiety manifests. First, a basic excerpt:
"Excuse me?" said Meg's mum. "Could we please try these in a size four?"
The sales-boy nodded. As he disappeared Mum glared at the whining child as his mother took the football boots from him. Mum glanced at her watch and sighed.
Meg moved to her mother as the boy and his mum left. Mum ignored her daughter's grin. "He's going to be a real brat one day. Ah, here are yours."
The sales-boy returned with one trainer. "I'm sorry," he said, "only got these in a three and then a seven, sold out."
"That's a vast difference in sizes, no others in stock? This is a shoe shop isn't it?" said Mum.
This paragraph works in that we can see Meg's mum is trying to get trainers for her daughter and we can see she's getting irritated, particularly by another customer and her son, but we can't really feel the emotions surging within her. Let's try the paragraph again with some small additions:
"Excuse me?" Meg's mum waved the black trainer at the sales-boy over the child's head. "Could we please try these in a four?"
He nodded, adding the trainer to his teetering pile of boxes. As he disappeared Mum glared at the whining child as his mother tried to prise the football boot from his grasp. Mum glanced at her watch and pulled an old receipt out of her pocket. She stared in the direction of the stockroom and began tearing the receipt into thin strips.
Meg sidled up to her mother as the boy's mum finally wrested the boot from him, returned it to the shelf and dragged him away, his complaints still echoing. Mum ignored her daughter's grin. "He's going to be a real brat one day. Ah, here are yours."
Meg noted the single trainer in the sales-boy's hand. "I'm sorry," he said, "only got these in a three and then a seven, sold out."
"That's a vast difference in sizes, no others in stock? This is a shoe shop isn't it?" The receipt in Mum's hand turned into confetti.
We immediately have more information about Mum's impatience, as she waves the shoe over the other customer's head. We see the sales-boy is busy, with teetering boxes. We also see the strain between the other customer and her son in two additional sentences. Meg notices only one trainer in the sales-boy's hand, which adds to the tension. Finally we make an addition that shows the anxiety building inside Meg's mother, and this is in an unconscious action displayed by her. Think about things you do when you're anxious and include them in your writing.
Meg's mum pulls an old receipt, a piece of paper, from her pocket. It's irrelevant except for the action which will show you her state of mind. She begins to tear it into strips, and the final sentence shows you just how much her anxiety is rising, by the fact that she's ripped the receipt up into tiny pieces, like confetti.
Meg's mum's anxiety grows as the chapter proceeds.
"Stupid boxes…" Mum groaned as she tried to fit the bulky shoes into the tight box.
"And it's too hot! We come in wearing coats, because it's winter. Why do they make it so hot?" Mum trembled, her fists clenching and unclenching at her sides.
Meg's sigh matched her mother's as she pulled off the shoes. She left her mum to pack them away and moved, in her socked feet, back to the display. Not a moment later she heard a frustrated grunt and a trainer flew past her ear. It rebounded on the wall and knocked three shoes to the ground. Meg ducked and twirled round. Her mother stood, red-faced and furious.
See how the actions clue you up on Meg's mother's growing anxiety, irritation and irrational behaviour.
The Emotion Thesaurus – invaluable!
We're often told to write what we know, and I'm lucky, or unlucky – your call, as I know what anxiety feels like. I'm able to write from experience and convey the very emotions I've undergone in my own life in my writing. But what happens if we've never experienced the things our characters do? After all, the average murder mystery wasn't written by a killer! One of the most comprehensive resources I have is The Emotion Thesaurus, it's invaluable! Written by Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi, you won't find a better guide to character expression out there*.
"As writers, we must take our innate skills of observation and transfer them to the page. Readers have high expectations. They don't want to be told how a character feels; they want to experience the emotion for themselves. To make this happen, we must ensure that our characters express their emotions in ways that are both recognisable and compelling to read."
(The Emotion Thesaurus Introduction)
So, fire up your writing, infuse your stories and take me on an adventure…
don't just tell me, take me with you!

* Note I have no arrangements or sponsorship through or with The Emotion Thesaurus or its authors, I just believe it's a darn good book!
To read more of Meg and her mum's battles, 'Beneath the Old Oak' is available in paperback and eBook on Amazon and Etsy.
'Turn those dreams of escape into hope…' Meg thinks her mother is broken. Is she broken too? Meg's life spirals out of control, and when she mirrors her Mum's erratic behaviour, she's terrified she'll inherit her mother's sins. Seeking refuge and escape, she finds solace beneath a huge, old oak. A storm descends, and Meg needs to survive devastating losses.

One second of inattention is all it takes to lose your camera to an opportunistic thief. Camera theft can happen anywhere, but it's particularly common in many European cities. The European travel expert Rick Steves recalls the summer when four of his travel companions had their cameras stolen and warns that some Spanish thieves will even smash the windows of your car – while you're in it – to grab a camera. Protecting your camera isn't merely about holding onto the device itself, but keeping the photos of your European adventure safe.
Don't use the sleeve or bag that came with the camera, since it will likely have the manufacturer's name or logo on it – a sure sign to criminals that a pricey camera is inside. Pick up a padded sleeve or bag that will snugly hold the camera without making it obvious that a camera is inside.
Carry a larger day bag to keep the camera inside. Choose a cross-body bag so the camera and your other belongings are always within your sight. Keep the camera inside the bag whenever you're not actively using it for taking photos.
Purchase an anti-theft neck strap. Some thieves use a cut-and-run strategy, running up to tourists and slicing the straps holding cameras around their necks. Buy a slash-proof strap from a camera store or online company. Keep the camera hooked to this strap around your neck when you're using it to take a series of photos.
Ask a traveling companion to act as a lookout while you take photos. Enjoy looking at a cathedral or museum together first, then pull out the camera to document any interesting sights while the other person looks around for any suspicious characters who might be eyeing you.
Stay vigilant at all times. If a local comes up to you and starts talking or trying to direct your attention elsewhere, be aware that he might be trying to distract you so a partner can grab your belongings.
Keep your camera in the hotel when you don't need it. Stop by your room to drop it off before dinner or before revisiting a place you've already photographed. Bury the camera inside clothing in your suitcase rather than leaving it out in plain sight. Keep it in the room safe if there is one.
Protect your photos by placing each filled memory card in your luggage or downloading each day's images to your computer. If your camera is stolen, you won't lose every picture you've taken.
Consider buying insurance to cover the camera if yours is a pricey model. Your travel insurance may cover stolen goods, or you may be able to add coverage for photography equipment under your personal policy. Check the fine print before buying any insurance, though, since not all policies cover photo equipment.

McGill Associates and Mathews Architecture teamed to complete an adaptive reuse project at 14 Riverside Drive in Asheville, North Carolina. On May 24, 2018, the project team was awarded a 2018 Griffin Award by the Preservation Society of Asheville and Buncombe County. These annual awards highlight projects and individuals who further historic preservation efforts in the County. This project had a rich history and multiple challenges to overcome, but regardless, the team persevered and the project won the 2018 Griffin Award for the best Adaptive Reuse project in Buncombe County.
Located in the River Arts District of Asheville, 14 Riverside Drive was a vacant building for about 50 years before construction on the project began. The goal was to renovate the building to become available for public use, but there were specific difficulties with this structure.
The main challenge was to modernize the building systems in a manner that did not take away from the historical significance of the structure. The space was originally used by Asheville Gas Works, then became the storage room for the Carolina Power and Light Company, before it was handed over to PSNC Energy.
Another obstacle was that all utilities had to be above flood plain, which was eight feet high up the wall – almost near the roof of the building. The team had to create a platform for the power panels, water heater, and other associated utilities that had to be hidden and blend in, historically, with the building. The electrical service also had to be mounted at roof-level, so the team decided to install a caged latter for access to the electrical service area.
The solution the team delivered resulted in a new building with radiant heat that allows the owner to use it as an open-air event facility for the City of Asheville, and that provides much-needed public restrooms to the area. McGill team members – Bob Wiggins, John Carter, Carlos Ford, and Ed Cooper – were all engaged in this project effort.
The team's hard work on this project demonstrates the ability to rehabilitate historic structures for continued use in the present and the future. The project resulted in an arts and cultural event center that is now a part of the River Arts District, instead of being an eye sore and a hazard, as it was previously.


A little break from all of our planning for the first year of travel in our motorcoach.
With the countdown app on this website now showing three months to go before retirement — it is a touch longer than that but close enough — I should let you know that we have also decided on taking a special cruise to mark this particular transition in our lives.
5 days after retirement, we will be flying out to Hamburg Germany and from there we will board the Norwegian Jade and take a nine-day cruise of Norway. And yes, on one of those days, we will be taking a trip on the world's most beautiful train journey, the Flam Railway.
Initially, we weren't planning to do anything at all as part of the start of my retirement other than a small family gathering.
Lorraine had other plans. Her view was that after 39 years of working and supporting our family, a special trip was in order.
We have thoroughly enjoyed planning this particular trip to a part of the world that we have not seen before. And once we return, we will only have a few weeks to get ourselves ready to begin our travels in our coach.

Q: Universal App using Health Kit I'm working on an App which uses some new iOS 8 Health Kit (HK) features.
At present the iPad doesn't get the Health app, so can't use HK. Since the HK features are not a major part of my app functionality, I could happily leave them out of the iPad version.
My problem is that there seems no way to get a universal app running on iPad once the HK entitlements have been added, even if no use is made of HK functionality.
Does anyone know any different? Is there a way (for example) to have separate 'per device' entitlements?
Thanks!

A: If you want to use HealthKit, Framework Reference clearly states that your app should be primarily designed to provide health or fitness service. If your app is not a health or fitness focused app, you might not able to submit your universal app .

In addition, your app must not access the HealthKit APIs unless the
  app is primarily designed to provide health or fitness services. Your
  app's role as a health and fitness service must be clear in both your
  marketing text and your user interface. Specifically, the following
  guidelines apply to all HealthKit apps.
