In many dreams a single snake will come to bite you, and you may in fact be bitten after a brief struggle. To your amazement though, you will not exit, and may find that the situation is not as bad as you thought. This type of dream can come when you have been fighting for your life with some problem, relationship or challenge. Such a snake-ordeal is an important signal that you are going through a kind of initiation; a psychological and spiritual trial that has the potential to change your life for the better if you deal with it bravely and with a clear heart. You may have to give up something you thought you couldn't, or take a stand for your principles or faith. This type of dream is responsible for the widely held belief that "snakes represent transformation." In my opinion, these dreams state the potential for growth and transfCan't return outside a subroutine at D:\home\lifetreks.com\wwwroot\cgi-scripts\WebPages.pl line 193. ormation inherent within a current difficulty.

HomeEntertainmentRanveer Singh also spoke funny things on the marriage of his film...
Ranveer Singh also spoke funny things on the marriage of his film colleagues Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
Apart from his films, he is known for his vivacity. The actor compared himself with Vicky Kaushal when he hosted the Filmfare Awards on Tuesday and said interesting things about Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. He was seen chatting with Vicky Kaushal. The actor also told that there are many similarities between Vicky and him.
Ranveer said, 'This year has been great for Vicky Kaushal. Both Vicky and I are mother's darlings. We were both supposed to play brothers in Karan Johar's 'Takht'. The actor further said, 'Both of us are tall and handsome. We are both living our own 'Fairy Tales'.
Referring to his wife Deepika Padukone and Vicky's wife Katrina, the actor says, "People tell us that they are both out of our power." Ranveer and Vicky were supposed to play brothers in Karan Johar's film 'Takht' which is now closed.
Ranveer also made fun of Alia and Ranbir's wedding which took place at his house. The actor said, 'Alia-Ranbir's marriage was the best. It was short, private and comfortable. They saved a lot of money when it came to food. My Sindhi father is also very happy with his marriage.
Vicky Kaushal won the Best Actor (Critics) Award
While Ranveer Singh won the Best Actor trophy for his film '83', Vicky Kaushal won the Best Actor (Critics) award for his performance in 'Sardar Udham Singh'. Both the actors were accompanied by their wives and actresses Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif.
Deepika Padukone presented the Best Actor trophy to Ranveer Singh
Actually, Deepika presented the Best Actor trophy to Ranveer. While Ranveer was seen in a red suit, Deepika looked stylish in a long blue shirt and white shoes paired with matching denims. Ranveer Singh kissed Deepika on stage after winning the award.
Ranveer Singh will be seen in 'Rocky and Rani's love story'
Ranveer also commented on Vicky and Katrina when they were entering the venue. He said, 'Oh my God, beautiful couple, may God's blessings be on them.'

Bayern birthday experience for boy wonder Kruse
It's been a month to remember for Bayer Leverkusen striker Robbie Kruse, who celebrated his 25th birthday with an appearance against Bayern Munich at the weekend.
It-s been a month to remember for Bayer Leverkusen striker Robbie Kruse, who celebrated his 25th birthday with an appearance against Bayern Munich at the weekend.
Kruse-s showing off the bench - his sixth Bundesliga appearance of the season - helped cap a remarkable few weeks for the Socceroo lynchpin.
Since last month-s friendly in Brazil, Kruse has scored his first goals for Leverkusen in addition to making his UEFA Champions League debut.
Such experience for one of Australia-s main attacking weapons will be crucial in the lead up to next year-s FIFA World Cup and, hopefully, a telling factor at the Parc des Princes this Friday (Saturday morning AEDT).
"It-s been real exciting since the last Socceroos camp," said Kruse.
"I feel I-ve played really well for my club and put myself in a good position to warrant selection in the starting eleven.
"I feel I"m getting better and better every day at training, it-s really tough, so hopefully I can transfer that form and the way I-ve been going into the national team.
"It-s going to be another tough test (against France), but I-m sure we can bounce back and hopefully put on a good performance."
Another Australian showing strong form in Europe is defender Jason Davidson.
Davidson hasn-t featured in a Socceroos squad since February - his solitary cap at senior international level coming a year ago away to Scotland.
However, on the back of eight straight starts for Dutch Eredivisie side Heracles Almelo, the 22-year-old has returned to Socceroo calculations and is eager to make an impression in Paris.
"It-s definitely great to be back with the boys and I-m just looking forward to getting back on the pitch - or, training well and getting on the pitch if I do," said Davidson.
"I think most important is to train well this week and, if we do get an opportunity to play, try and do as much as you can in the game and show what you can do.
"It-s definitely a challenge (against France), but I think that-s what you look forward to as a footballer, playing against the big teams of the world and against the best players of the world.
"It-ll be a good challenge, but I think we can give it a go and try and get a result."


Meet the professor who began a library on wheels to make sure people on the fringes of society have access to literature and stimulating conversation—even chats about Chomsky.
Laura Moulton, a writing professor in Portland, Oregon, outfitted her bike with a mobile library and for several years, has been biking straight to the homeless every week, serving all genres of books to over 5,000 patrons.
"Being recognized and spoken to on the street and offered a book for someone who has really been struggling can be a really powerful thing," Moulton told Nation Swell.
Borrowing books from libraries is difficult for the homeless because they lack the required documents, like identification, and a home address needed to get a library card. Additionally, their everyday lives make it hard for them to return books on time, or in good conditions, triggering hefty fines. Many simply give up the luxury, which makes mobile libraries an ideal solution.
Her program, called Street Books, has received grants, but mostly is powered by people donating the books, and by Mouton peddling them to grateful readers.

Robert Griffin III hosted a football camp on Friday at Anacostia High and everyone, it seemed, was there. In addition to 300 local boys and girls, Wale, MC Hammer, Bow Wow, Jeffrey Wright, John Wall, Jay Gruden and several of Griffin's Redskins teammates, including DeSean Jackson, attended.
Kids at Griffin's first 'Friday Night Lights' camp participated in football drills and went home with some Adidas swag, including "Go Catch Your Dream" T-shirts featuring Griffin's logo.
Mike Vick, who will suit up for the New York Jets this upcoming football season, spent the weekend back in his native Newport News to host a youth football camp and to also play in a celebrity softball tournament. Both events featured some of the top names in the NFL.
Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy, former Eagles and now Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson, and Atlanta Falcons receiver Roddy White all came to help out Vick with the camp, which is run through Vick's foundation.
"This camp means everything," said Vick, who played a very active role in coaching the players on Saturday afternoon, "I think we're giving kids the mental ability to go out on the football field and no what it takes to be successful.
Also on hand were Baltimore Ravens and former Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor, Dallas Cowboys defensive back B.W. Webb, and current Tech receiver Willie Byrn.
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Someone wanted to win. Amid all the jovial byplay and silliness, all the fun trash talking between each other, someone had his gameface on, and had no problems letting everyone know it.
On Saturday at Neumann University's Mirenda Center for Sport, DeSean Jackson, now a Washington Redskin, made a triumphant return to the Philadelphia area and dropped 45 points on his pal's team, LeSean McCoy, during McCoy's charity basketball game benefiting McCoy's personal charity, Shades of Greatness, and ALS.
In the end, it was DeSean Jackson's team that prevailed over McCoy's, despite a 22-point slam dunk by the denim-short-wearing Connor Barwin, in a 93-91 victory.
Jackson was easily the best player on the court, which included Cleveland Cavalier Dion Waiters, boxing champ Danny Garcia, and rapper Nelly. And while everyone else was playing for fun—Jackson was playing for real. Maybe it was Jackson's way of telling the fans that packed the gym on Saturday this is what they'll be missing—or maybe it was just the competitive side of Jackson surfacing, there was no doubt he wore his NFL-I'm-serious gameface.
"I was here for the fans," said Jackson afterward.
Jackson took time to sign autographs, take selfies with fans and was very cordial to everyone—except the handful of media there covering the event.
The event itself was a raging success.
McCoy was everywhere, wearing an ever-ready smile—and engaging with everyone. He wasn't just a bystander as many celebrities hosting their own charity events sometimes are.
"This is important to me," said McCoy, whose grandmother, Maryann Branch, died several years ago of ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease. "I think sometimes where I face adversity, I look back to how she fought and struggled. There's times that I'm complaining about different things where it's not as serious as the things she fought, the disease she fought and that helps me get over my adversity sometimes.
There was one interesting aside from the charity event, which was also attended by Jeremy Maclin. It was interesting how either Maclin or Jackson were anywhere near each other during the early portion of the afternoon, but at halftime during a shoot-around, the two engaged in what appeared to be an animated discussion near midcourt, where Barwin stepped in.
Maclin and Jackson eventually laughed, shook hands, and left the court together exchanging cell numbers.

The top destinations to visit in Croatia
Let the LateSail team help you decide where to sail from in Croatia
Sailing advice
When planning a yacht charter holiday in Croatia it can be difficult to choose which area to sail from. With so many beautiful ports and towns full of history, picturesque beaches and fabulous sailing conditions, finding your ideal departure point can be a tricky decision.
Here at LateSail, we have experience in sailing from all of the major bases in Croatia so to help you make the decision, we've pulled together a list of the top areas to sail from and the things you can expect to see and do while there.
Famous for its terracotta roofs and its historical Old Town, Dubrovnik is at the southern end of Croatia on the Adriatic Sea. Dubrovnik is brimming with Renaissance history, the city is full of baroque style buildings and the wall surrounding its Old Town is distinctive and intriguing. Coupled with its typical Mediterranean climate of warm summers and calm sailing conditions, Dubrovnik is a firm favourite with the team here at LateSail.
Helicopter aerial shoot of Cavtat. Well known tourist destination near Dubrovnik
While in Dubrovnik, there are an abundance of activities to take part in and places to visit ashore that will make your holiday a memorable one. If you're a fan of diving and snorkelling, Dubrovnik is one of the most wonderful places to get underwater. With beautifully clear azure coloured waters, visibility is excellent and the sea life both inviting and breathtaking. See schools of fish, octopus and starfish who all dive excitedly between the many rocks and underwater corals that act as their home.
Ashore, take a walk along the city walls which offers breathtaking views of the ocean and surrounding areas before heading to St John's Fortress where you can visit the Dubrovnik Maritime Museum which exhibits navigational equipment and impressive ships and provides visitors with fascinating facts about the area's naval power and history. Take to Banje Beach for a day of R&R and choose from one of the many restaurants and bars that surround the city. One of our favourites is the Tavernetta Otto which serves traditional Mediterranean cuisine including locally caught fish and seafood and succulent cuts of meat.
How to get to Dubrovnik
There are plenty of scheduled flights to Dubrovnik from London Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester and regional airports with low cost airlines.
Transfer time to bases vary between 10 to 40 mins dependent on locations.
Located close to the popular tourist destination of Split, Trogir is a beautiful Adriatic gem that is often overlooked in favour of more well known Dalmatian destinations. The historical Renaissance architecture and baroque decoration make for excellent sightseeing while the the warm winds and multitude of sheltered anchorages are perfect for sailing. Connected to the mainland and the island of Čiovo by bridges, sailors have the opportunity to discover the Old Town of Trogir in all its wonderful glory as well as some of the beautiful sandy beaches and fascinating architecture of the adjoining island.
Harbour of Trogir, Croatia
As with all other Croatian coastal locations, snorkelling and diving are popular and well worth spending a few hours partaking in while moored at one of Trogir's marinas. But the real beauty lies in the Old Town where visitors will find themselves immersed in a timewarp of intrigue. Head to Trogir Cathedral, a 13th century triple naved gothic basilica which stands majestically at the centre of the Old Town. From here, head to the Tower Kamerlengo, a 15th century castle offering visitors the opportunity to view theatrical performances when visiting during the summer months.
For sunbathing and relaxation, a trip over the bridge to Čiovo is a must where you can travel down to Okrug Gornji Beach. This popular 2km long beach is ideal for enjoying the sounds of the waves as they lap against the shore and the clear cobalt blue waters are perfect for snorkelling and diving.
How to get to Trogir
There are plenty of scheduled flights to Split Airport from London Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester and regional airports with low cost airlines. Transfer time to the base is around 10 minutes.
Affectionately referred to as the gateway to the Kornati Islands, sailing from Šibenik offer silors a whole host of amazing things to see and do while on a yacht charter from this popular area of Croatia. Surrounded by stunning cobalt waters, Šibenik is the oldest native town in the eastern area of the Adriatic and acts as an excellent place to discover some of the area's 140 uninhabited islets and other islands of the Šibenik archipelago such as Zlarin and Prvic.

The warm climate and soothing breeze make for the perfect sailing holiday and there are many beautiful and secluded places to moor up for the day to swim leisurely from the back of your yacht or discover the marine life with a spot of snorkelling or diving.
On land, you'll be spoilt for choice for places to explore, with a mass of historical buildings, lush wildlife and quaint streets to wander. The triple naved UNESCO World Heritage Cathedral of St. James is a must see, decorated with 71 sculptured faces and a visit to the newly reconstructed St. Nicholas's Fortress will take you back to the 15th century when monument was erected. Head further inland for a day of magical adventures with a visit to the Krka National Park, surrounded by verdant flora and fauna and full of cascading waterfalls.
How to get to Šibenik
There are plenty of direct scheduled flights to Split Airport or Zadar Airport from London Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester and regional airports with low cost airlines. Transfer time to the base is around 50 minutes from both airports.
Located on the Istrian peninsula, Pula is one of the most northern sailing areas of Croatia but allows for excellent sailing and discovery of some of the country's most beautiful beaches. The town is littered with Roman ruins and has played a huge role in many battles throughout the centuries including World War II. It's coast is lined with gorgeous sandy beaches that attract many sunseekers throughout the season and watersports, snorkelling and diving are popular. It is also the perfect starting point for sailing south and visiting the pretty fishing village of Losinj.
Roman time arena in Pula, Croatia.
One of the town's most popular attractions is the Pula Arena, an amphitheatre that has near complete surrounding walls and where visitors can walk through the tunnels where the gladiators and lions will have been kept prior to their 'show'. It is now used for open air festivals and attracts many visitors throughout the year. Take a walk through the Arch of the Sergii, the gateway to Pula's historical centre and visit the Archeological Museum of Istria, full of historical sculptures, pottery and art that date back to Roman times.
For keen water sports fans, head to Medulin where the clear waters and excellent sea conditions make for the perfect place to spend the day enjoying a spot of windsurfing, kayaking, snorkelling and diving. While in Pula, visit one of our favourite restaurants, Farabuto, where you can sample some of the town's most delicious cuisine including locally caught seafood; mussels, squid and octopus or perhaps try a succulent steak, all of which are sourced from local eco farming businesses.
How to get to Pula
There are plenty of direct scheduled flights to Pula Airport from London Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester and regional airports with low cost airlines.
Transfer time to the base is around 20 minutes from both airports

Terminally Ill Mom's Wish For Her Teen Children
Adriane was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer two years ago. Now, she says she and her husband of eight years are in a battle with her ex-husband over who will raise her two teenage kids when she passes -- their biological father or their stepfather. The exes have been at war, and Adriane says she turned to Dr. Phil for help to ensure that she is doing everything she can for her kids.
"I just want to make sure no matter who has the kids, if I'm not here, that they're in the best place possible. That they are getting morals and values and learning right from wrong and just being molded into productive members of society," she tells Dr. Phil.

KUDO wins the Future of Meetings Award
July 3, 2019 in Announcements, business, interpretation, Interpreters, language, product, remote interpretation, simultaneous interpretation
We are very happy to announce KUDO as this year's winner of the 2019 Future of Meetings Award. After being shortlisted as one of the most promising startups in the meetings technology sector along with four innovative contenders, KUDO claimed the award organized by the Meeting Design Institute (MDI) in partnership with The Meetings Show.
The award is considered a true springboard for new products and services in the meetings industry, and its winner was chosen by a panel of experts that included some of the sector's heavyweights like Carsten Pleiser, Adam Parry, Felix Rundel, Rosa Garriga, and Sofia Teles.
What drove the juror's decision?
KUDO boasts a vast array of solutions to help event organizers widen the scope of their global events across geographic and language barriers. The platform offers a built-in language selector so everyone can speak their own language through human-powered, on-demand interpretation.
According to Ross Barker, commercial director of The Meetings Show and one of the judges, "The Future of Meetings Award showcases technology that is likely going to change the face of meetings and events in the years to come," "The competition was tough, but KUDO's solution really stood out."
"We're reinventing the meeting space from inside, in a disruptive yet constructive approach where the whole is always more than the sum of the parts", says Fardad Zabetian, KUDO's founder and CEO. "That can only be done by true industry insiders, which we are proud to be."
The award winner was announced on Thursday 27 June to an audience of 4,500 event planners and industry professionals gathered at Olympia London for the seventh edition of The Meetings Show. Ewandro Magalhaes, KUDO's VP of Marketing & Communications, received the prize in person from the hands of Ross Barker and Marteen Vanneste. Congratulations also goes to the team behind KUDO, Fardad Zabetian, Parham Akhavan, and Pablo Ramirez.
Additional perks of winning including complimentary membership to the Meetings Design Institute (MDI) for a full year, and a full booth at next year's edition of The Meetings Show, on June 20-24, 2020.

Supporting can pay off: People who take care of others live longer
Older Folks that assist and assist others are also doing themselves a desire. An international research crew has determined that grandparents who take care of their grandchildren on common live longer than grandparents who do no longer. The researchers performed survival analyses of over 500 people elderly between 70 and 103 years, drawing on facts from the Berlin Growing older Have a look at collected between 1990 and 2009.
In the evaluation of most previous research on the subject, the researchers intentionally did not include grandparents who had been number one or custodial caregivers. Instead, they compared grandparents who furnished occasional childcare with grandparents who did not and older adults who did no longer have children or grandchildren, however, who supplied care for others of their social community.
Emotional assist
Too extreme involvement reasons stress
The results of their analyses show that this form of caregiving will have a high-quality impact on the mortality of the carers. Half of the grandparents who took care of their grandchildren have been nevertheless alive about ten years after the first interview in 1990. The identical was carried out to contributors who no longer have grandchildren but supported their children — for example, by way of Supporting with housekeeping. In comparison, about 1/2 of people who did no longer help others died within five years.
The researchers were also capable of exposing that this tremendous effect of caregiving on mortality turned into now not restricted to help and caregiving in the own family. The records evaluation confirmed that childless older adults who furnished others with emotional support, for instance, also benefited. 1/2 of these helpers lived for some other seven years, while non-helpers on common lived for only every other 4 years Graet Report.
"but Assisting shouldn't be misunderstood as a panacea for a longer lifestyle," says Ralph Hertwig, Director of the Middle for Adaptive Rationality on the Max Planck Institute for Human Development. "A slight degree of caregiving involvement does appear to have high-quality outcomes on fitness. but preceding studies have proven that greater intense involvement causes strain, which has poor outcomes on physical and intellectual fitness," says Hertwig. As it isn't normal for grandparents in Germany and Switzerland to take custodial care of their grandchildren, primary and custodial caregivers were not covered inside the analyses.

The researchers think that prosocial behavior becomes originally rooted within the circle of relatives. "It seems potential that the Improvement of parents' and grandparents' prosocial behavior toward their family members left its imprint on the human body in phrases of a neural and hormonal machine that subsequently laid the inspiration for the evolution of cooperation and altruistic behavior toward non-kinfolk," says first author Sonja Hilbrand, a doctoral student within the Branch of Psychology at the University of Basel.

Founder Liz Reid has had fifteen plus years experience in global textile research and development in the apparel industry. Along my path in fashion, I worked in home furnishing development as well as on various interior design projects. Melding a successful career in fashion and a love of interiors, color development and travel, Upstage Interiors, a premier home staging and redesign company was created. Moving from a career in fashion to interiors was a natural progression. I am fortunate to have been able to take my skills and experiences and continue working with textiles, patterns and color in home staging and redesign.
After graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology, F.I.T. in New York, I began my career in fabric research and development. For the next 15 years I had the honor of working along side many talented designers in the apparel industry for such companies as Carmelo Pomodoro, Oscar de la Renta, Anne Klein and Ellen Tracy. My position as Director of Textile Research and Development included not only working with amazing design and production teams, but with textile mills globally. My travels have taken me all across Asia and Europe working directly with major textile mills in all facets of textile development and production, as well as attending all major textile fairs sourcing and shopping the latest trends. "I always loved the challenge of taking "couture" priced fabrics and garments and translating to affordable price points for the highest return on the dollar". Utilizing my resourcefulness, creativity and talent, my experience in fashion has strongly influenced my interior home staging and redesign philosophy.
In home staging and redesign, I truly believe every home can be beautiful regardless of size and price. I want your home to feel luxurious, welcoming, warm and authentic. You do not always have to spend a lot to make your home feel special and attractive. I believe in merchandising any home as economically as possible. I like to start with what you currently own and only when needed supplement additional investment accessories and furniture rentals.
Upstage Interiors ultimate goal is to assist in selling your home for top dollar in the shortest period of time. How do we do this? Through the keen eye of a certified home stager, Upstage Interiors will create alluring spaces to make your home feel inviting, authentic and desirable. We create an inspired life style that targets your specific buyer demographic. " I want to help in making your home look fabulous on a limited budget, get the "money shots" for your MSL listing, generate the most views over the competition, resulting in the successful sale of your home".
Staging and redesign does not have to be intimidating and overwhelming. We can work together to create your new space or if you are not a "hands on" person, Upstage Interiors will do it for you.

Apple: The Unicorn Phone Arrives, the iPad in Asia and the Location Fix Is In
Wed, 04/27/2011 - 06:22 by Greg Sterling
Apple issued three unrelated press releases this morning about the arrival of the mythic (and overhyped) white iPhone 4, the iPad 2 and its arrival in Asia and other countries and, finally, about the location-tracking controversy with a promise to fix the matter.
White iPhone:
Apple today announced that the white iPhone 4 will be available beginning tomorrow. White iPhone 4 models will be available from Apple's online store, at Apple's retail stores, AT&T and Verizon Wireless stores and select Apple Authorized Resellers.
iPad 2 availability in Asia and other countries:
Apple today announced that iPad 2, the second-generation of its breakthrough post-PC device, will arrive in Japan on Thursday, April 28 and Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and eight additional countries on Friday, April 29. iPad 2 will be available at Apple retail stores at 9 a.m. local time, select Apple Authorized Resellers, and online through the Apple Store beginning at 1 a.m. Additionally, iPad 2 with Wi-Fi will be available in China beginning Friday, May 6.
Location-tracking and the coming fix:
Here's the unusual Q&A press release verbatim:
1. Why is Apple tracking the location of my iPhone?
Apple is not tracking the location of your iPhone. Apple has never done so and has no plans to ever do so.
2. Then why is everyone so concerned about this?
Providing mobile users with fast and accurate location information while preserving their security and privacy has raised some very complex technical issues which are hard to communicate in a soundbite. Users are confused, partly because the creators of this new technology (including Apple) have not provided enough education about these issues to date.
3. Why is my iPhone logging my location?
The iPhone is not logging your location. Rather, it's maintaining a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers around your current location, some of which may be located more than one hundred miles away from your iPhone, to help your iPhone rapidly and accurately calculate its location when requested. Calculating a phone's location using just GPS satellite data can take up to several minutes. iPhone can reduce this time to just a few seconds by using Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data to quickly find GPS satellites, and even triangulate its location using just Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data when GPS is not available (such as indoors or in basements). These calculations are performed live on the iPhone using a crowd-sourced database of Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data that is generated by tens of millions of iPhones sending the geo-tagged locations of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple.
4. Is this crowd-sourced database stored on the iPhone?
The entire crowd-sourced database is too big to store on an iPhone, so we download an appropriate subset (cache) onto each iPhone. This cache is protected but not encrypted, and is backed up in iTunes whenever you back up your iPhone. The backup is encrypted or not, depending on the user settings in iTunes. The location data that researchers are seeing on the iPhone is not the past or present location of the iPhone, but rather the locations of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers surrounding the iPhone's location, which can be more than one hundred miles away from the iPhone. We plan to cease backing up this cache in a software update coming soon (see Software Update section below).
5. Can Apple locate me based on my geo-tagged Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data?
No. This data is sent to Apple in an anonymous and encrypted form. Apple cannot identify the source of this data.
6. People have identified up to a year's worth of location data being stored on the iPhone. Why does my iPhone need so much data in order to assist it in finding my location today?
This data is not the iPhone's location data—it is a subset (cache) of the crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower database which is downloaded from Apple into the iPhone to assist the iPhone in rapidly and accurately calculating location. The reason the iPhone stores so much data is a bug we uncovered and plan to fix shortly (see Software Update section below). We don't think the iPhone needs to store more than seven days of this data.
7. When I turn off Location Services, why does my iPhone sometimes continue updating its Wi-Fi and cell tower data from Apple's crowd-sourced database?
It shouldn't. This is a bug, which we plan to fix shortly (see Software Update section below).
8. What other location data is Apple collecting from the iPhone besides crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data?
Apple is now collecting anonymous traffic data to build a crowd-sourced traffic database with the goal of providing iPhone users an improved traffic service in the next couple of years.
9. Does Apple currently provide any data collected from iPhones to third parties?
We provide anonymous crash logs from users that have opted in to third-party developers to help them debug their apps. Our iAds advertising system can use location as a factor in targeting ads. Location is not shared with any third party or ad unless the user explicitly approves giving the current location to the current ad (for example, to request the ad locate the Target store nearest them).
10. Does Apple believe that personal information security and privacy are important?
Yes, we strongly do. For example, iPhone was the first to ask users to give their permission for each and every app that wanted to use location. Apple will continue to be one of the leaders in strengthening personal information security and privacy.
Apple says that "sometime in the next few weeks" the company will issue a software update that:
reduces the size of the crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower database cached on the iPhone,
ceases backing up this cache, and
deletes this cache entirely when Location Services is turned off.
It also says the "next major iOS software release" will encrypt the location data cache on the iPhone.
Apple has been sued (as usual) for the alleged involuntary tracking and storing of user location data. However there are arguably no damages at this point. As the Q&A above indicates Apple denies user tracking and, in accordance with the bullets above, says it will implement more privacy controls soon.

You may have seen the Bitter Ends pop up at the Bloomfield Farmers Market on Saturdays in the past, but now they've got their very own storefront in Bloomfield.
With farm fresh ingredients (straight from their own farm) and everything made from scratch including bread and pastries, soups, and sandwiches, we haven't been this ecstatic about a restaurant opening in a while.
Part of our excitement is due to the chef's, Becca Hegarty's, connection to Bread and Salt Bakery.
Like many food-loving Pittsburghers, we were devastated when Bread and Salt closed, but the bread Hegarty is baking up here is crusty, toothsome, and very reminiscent of the bread there.
Bitter Ends Luncheonette is a diner-style setup with a long, narrow building with the open kitchen on the left and a few small tables on the right. The menu is somewhat small with pastries, soups, and sandwiches, but it suits the restaurant's concept and space.
We started off with some sweets including donut holes and a maple donut. The donut holes were impressively light and fluffy on the inside with a good crunch on the outside.
They tasted like they were made from whole grain flour which was an interesting twist.
The maple donut was also delicious and was topped with an almost buttery maple glaze made with Pennsylvania maple syrup.
With our sugar fix complete, we moved on to healthier dishes like the vegetable soup. It was surprisingly hearty and savory given that it was vegetarian. Super thin slices of potatoes, turnips carrots, and herbs gave texture and freshness.
Of course, it was served with some of their crusty whole grain bread.
We also tried the veggie sandwich and the potatoes, both of which were revelations.
The potatoes were smashed hunks cooked up crispy on the griddle and covered in butter, onions, and herbs- who knew that fried potatoes could taste so fresh?
And last but not least, we dug in to the veggie sandwich which was made using more of their brilliant bread.
The bread was slathered with pumpkin puree that kept things creamy and saucy. A slew of crunchy veggies like lettuce, radishes, and carrots topped it off.
I never would have guessed that such fresh flavors could be coaxed from winter veggies, but Bitter Ends Luncheonette is proving it can be done, and done beautifully. And it makes us even more excited to return in the summer to see what they do with the height of summer veggie bounty.
Bitter Ends Luncheonette is located at 4613 Liberty Avenue in Bloomfield.

Garmin Experiences Ransomware Attack Causing Global Outage
Do you make use of a Garmin wearable device? If so, then you've probably noticed that your device isn't working the way you expect it to. That's because the company is experiencing what there are now describing as a global outage.
The notification on the company's website reads, in part as follows:
"We are currently experiencing an outage that affects Garmin.com and Garmin Connect. This outage also affects our call centers, and we are currently unable to receive any calls, emails or online chats. We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and apologize for this inconvenience."
The same message was displayed on the company's Facebook page, and was sent out on the company's Twitter account.
This outage and the fallout from it, is ongoing, and specifics and details have proved to be somewhat difficult to come by. At present, there are unconfirmed reports that the outage stems from a successful WasterLocker ransomware attack executed against the company's network that impacted an unknown number of systems and servers. However, the information leaking out from company employees is somewhat contradictory.
Assuming that the general buzz regarding a successful WasterLocker attack is correct, then odds are good that the damage to company resources was extensive. WasterLocker is well known for launching sophisticated attacks and demanding ransoms that frequently run into the millions of dollars.
Unfortunately, this isn't the first time in recent months that Garmin has found itself in the crosshairs. Late last year, Garmin Southern Africa publicly disclosed that they were the victim of a Magecart attack that saw customer payment and other sensitive information stolen from any customer who had placed orders on the company's shop.garmin.co.za portal.
Given the fact that ransomware attackers are known to steal copies of data before they encrypt files on the network, it's likely that at least some sensitive customer information was taken. Again, at this point, we have no details from the company. We can only assume those will be forthcoming in the near future.
Lack of proof of compromise, is not the lack of compromise. The assumption should be that any system hit was entirely compromised. Assumptions are what allowed this to occur. By now you have all heard

"This just gives us another opportunity to better serve the Columbus, Phenix City and Valley area," said Burkus, a spine surgeon.
The group decided to name the hospital after Dr. Jack Hughston, who founded Hughston Clinic in 1949.
Savory, who also will become the hospital's chairman, said the seven surgeons will still serve patients at Hughston Clinic's main Columbus campus at 6262 Veterans Parkway.
Jack Hughston Memorial Hospital will serve as a general hospital with an emphasis on orthopedics and provide another facility to perform surgeries and other procedures.
Mark Baker, chief operating officer of Hughston Clinic, said the purchase is in line with the clinic's strategic plan. Hughston Clinic has already expanded in LaGrange, Valdosta, Albany and other cities in west and south Georgia.
Baker said the group is now looking toward Alabama. Besides the latest acquisition, the clinic is also expanding its facility in Auburn.
The clinic will also be upping its number of surgeons from 18 to 22.
"We're not abandoning anybody," Savory said. "We're just expanding."
Prior to the deal, most Hughston Clinic surgeons performed surgeries at Hughston Orthopedic Hospital, Baker said. Though they share similar names and are located on the same campus, the two are not affiliated with each other.
Denise Kendust, Hughston Hospital vice president of business development and marketing, said Hughston Hospital expects to lose volume to the new Phenix City facility and is considering allowing other doctors to perform elective surgery there.
It's still up to the patient, though, where they would prefer to have procedures done.
"The Hughston Clinic physicians are still on the medical staff at Hughston Orthopedic Hospital, meaning patients have a choice where they have their surgery," Kendust said. "It is important for patients to research a hospital prior to having surgery because quality measures are different and so are the standards in which hospitals practice."
New CEO named
On Thursday, officials also announced Jack Hughston Memorial Hospital's new chief executive officer: James L. Matney, former CEO of the 60-bed Valley View Medical Center in Bullhead City, Ariz.
"One of the things that I focus on is a good quality product," Matney said. "That's what Hughston stands for... That expectation for excellence is a culture I'm hoping to bring to the table."
Matney, a former chief financial officer and accountant, said he also hopes to bring "sound financial principles."
As far as immediate changes, Matney said they will be expanding their operating rooms from four to six within the next 30 days.
The hospital also will dedicate its fourth floor to a new Hughston Orthopedic Center, which also will house a physical therapy gym.
A new benefits structure will also be implemented that should reduce employee health care costs by about 50 percent. Matney said that will hopefully attract quality health care professionals to the hospital. The hospital is currently hiring, including nurse and operating room technician positions.
When the $36 million Summit Hospital first opened last year, officials had predicted an average of 40 to 50 patients would occupy the 70-bed facility at any given time. However, in an August interview, Summit COO Ian Watson said fewer than 30 beds were routinely occupied.
About 200 procedures per month were expected to be performed in Summit's operating room, but the hospital had been conducting only half of that.
The first year was also marked by employee layoffs, a resignation by its CEO and the closure of its labor and delivery unit.
Savory said there are no immediate plans to bring back the unit.

Q: Display labels at the bottom and as a column in a ParametricPlot3D I would like to display the labels of a 3D plot (made of many subplots) as a column at the bottom of the plot. I managed to put them at the bottom, thanks to the option Placed, but they are always displayed in a row. How can I put them in column?
Here is a minimal working example. The actual code is much more lengthy.
test1 = Quiet@ParametricPlot3D[{u, 0, 0}, {u, 0, 1}, PlotLegends -> Placed[{"test1"}, Bottom]];
test2 = Quiet@ParametricPlot3D[{0, u, 0}, {u, 0, 1}, PlotLegends -> Placed[{"test2"}, Bottom]];
test3 = Quiet@ParametricPlot3D[{0, 0, u}, {u, 0, 1}, PlotLegends -> Placed[{"test3"}, Bottom]];
Show[test1, test2, test3]

The overall structure is fixed (I cannot plot test1, test2 and test3 as a single plot but I have to merge them through Show).
Thank you.

A: Something like this?
Legended[
  Show[
    Plot3D[Sin[ x] + Cos[ y], {x, 0, 2 π}, {y, 0, 2 π}, PlotStyle -> Red],
    Plot3D[Sin[ x] - Cos[ y], {x, 0, 2 π}, {y, 0, 2 π}, PlotStyle -> Blue]],
 Placed[LineLegend[{Red, Blue}, {"test1", "test2"}], Below]]

A: You can extract the graphics and the legends from the output of Show and reorganize the legends as follows:
test1 =   ParametricPlot3D[{u, 0, 0}, {u, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> Red,
       PlotLegends -> Placed[{"test1"}, Bottom]];
test2 =   ParametricPlot3D[{0, u, 0}, {u, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> Blue,
       PlotLegends -> Placed[{"test2"}, Bottom]];
test3 =  ParametricPlot3D[{0, 0, u}, {u, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> Green,
       PlotLegends -> Placed[{"test3"}, Bottom]];
show = Show[test1, test2, test3];
graphics = show[[1, 1, 1]];
legend = Column[SortBy[Cases[show, Placed[a_, __] :> a, {0, Infinity}], #[[2, 1]] &]];

Legended[graphics, Placed[legend, Bottom]] (* or *)

Google has some pretty high expectations for its Google Fiber service -- around 5 million subscribers within five years of its launch. As The Information reports, Google is nowhere near that goal two years into Fiber's rollout, and it appears that parent company Alphabet is looking to hit the brakes even more.
According to internal Google sources speaking to The Information, Alphabet CEO Larry Page asked Access, home to the Google Fiber business and headed up by CEO Craig Barratt, to cut its staff in half -- to 500. And Fiber's cost-savings won't just be layoffs; Page also wants Fiber to cut its costs for Internet access by one-tenth, possibly via wireless service.
Google's moonshot project for delivering ultra-fast Internet connectivity to various metropolitan areas doesn't come cheap. According to sources speaking to Recode, it costs Google about $1 billion for each new market it enters, thanks to all the infrastructure issues the company has to deal with when trying to deploy fiber. That includes covering the "last mile" -- as it's often termed -- between an area's existing fiber-optic infrastructure and the specific homes and businesses getting wired up for Google Fiber.
It's expensive enough that Page himself recently took some time on an Alphabet shareholder call to discuss how the company is looking to potentially move to gigabit wireless point-to-point transfers to cover this gap, which could allow Google Fiber's rollout to continue at a significant cost savings. With that comes an assumption that this unproven millimeter wave technology works as well as Google expects it to -- in more conditions than just a bright, sunny day with nothing blocking the signal, that is.
As Page put it, moving to wireless for the last leg of Google Fiber's trip to a home or business would be "cheaper than digging up your garden" -- perhaps up to one-fifth of Fiber's current deployment costs, as some sources have suggested.
If millimeter wave technology sounds familiar, it's the same kind of setup that Starry is looking to use for its internet service offering. The company recently released its Wi-Fi Station -- a simple touch-screen router -- in advance of an internet service plan that uses big access points (Starry Beams) to shoot a millimeter-wave signal to an antenna you attach to your house or apartment (a Starry Point). This antenna then beams the signal into your house (likely to your Starry Router, or other Starry devices), which serves as the backbone for your home network.
Still, despite potential cutbacks, Google Fiber is coming to Salt Lake City. Residents there can now sign up for Google Fiber TV and Internet service until Oct. 20. Google first announced plans to launch there in March 2015.

'Medicare for All' Is A Trap for Businesses and Employees
Sally Pipes Contributor
I cover health policy as President of the Pacific Research Institute
FILE - In this Jan. 30, 2019, file photo, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash, speaks at a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. Sen. Bernie Sanders is raising the stakes of the "Medicare-for-all" debate by expanding his proposal to include long-term care. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, File)
Some business leaders are hopping aboard the Medicare for All bandwagon. The Business Alliance for a Healthy California, for example, now has 300 businesses calling for universal healthcare.
But any businessman considering getting behind Medicare for All should know the sales pitch is flawed.
The architects of Medicare for All promise everything to everyone. No insurance premiums. No co-pays. No deductibles. No limits on care. For employers, less time and money spent dealing with health coverage.
A deeper look at Medicare for All shows that it will cost businesses a fortune. And their employees won't like the care they receive.
True, Medicare for All will eliminate the health insurance line item on businesses' budgets. But it'll vastly increase their tax bills.
Senator Bernie Sanders, the pied piper of single-payer health care, has floated several ideas for paying for Medicare for All. Among them: a 7.5% employer payroll tax that will extract $3.9 trillion over ten years from employers. Large financial institutions could be hit with $117 billion in taxes over ten years. Sanders has even called for changes to accounting rules that would result in $112 billion in additional corporate taxes.
Those are just the taxes that hit businesses directly. Many business owners take low salaries but realize most of their income as capital gains or dividends. Sanders would raise taxes on capital income for those who make more than $250,000 a year.
Individual employees will not be exempt from Medicare for All's flurry of new taxes. Sanders proposes to raise $3.5 trillion over a decade by levying a new 4% tax on every American household.
All these new taxes will be insufficient to cover Medicare for All's tab. Former Medicare trustee Charles Blahous estimated that Sanders's 2017 Medicare for All plan, which covers fewer benefits than the one he introduced in 2019, would increase federal spending by more than $32 trillion over ten years. Doubling projected federal corporate and income tax receipts still wouldn't reach that lofty figure.
And as Blahous has pointed out, it's likely that "the actual cost of M4A would be substantially greater than these estimates."
The plan assumes the government will be able to administer Medicare for All at the same low rate of cost as it does the existing Medicare program. But that's unlikely. The legacy program's administrative costs appear low as a percentage of total expenditures because the Medicare population has higher per-capita health costs. That makes sense—Medicare's beneficiaries are older, and thus consume more health care.
In other words, Medicare isn't uniquely efficient—it just spends a lot on health care.
Second, one of the trade-offs for low administrative costs is high rates of fraud. In 2016, the Government Accountability Office discovered $96 billion in improper payments in Medicare and Medicaid. That's double what the government spent administering all its health programs.
Under Medicare for All, the federal government will have to get aggressive about policing fraud, and thus sacrifice much of its supposed administrative efficiency, or get comfortable with hundreds of billions of dollars in improper payments. Neither scenario is appealing—or cheap.
Medicare for All also presumes providers will acquiesce to reimbursement rates that are 40% lower than those paid by private insurers. Payment cuts like that could put some providers underwater and force them to close their doors.
Historically, Congress has postponed Medicare payment cuts to doctors and hospitals just about every time it's had the chance. If those lower payment rates never come about, then businesses and individuals will be looking at much higher taxes than Sanders and company suggest.
Finally, Medicare for All would take away one of the primary ways employers differentiate themselves in the quest for talent—their benefits plans. According to the U.S. Census, more than 180 million people received health insurance through work in 2017. Research from Gallup shows that seven in 10 people with employer-sponsored coverage are satisfied with their plan.
They won't be satisfied under Medicare for All. That's in part because they'll have to wait for care.
Look to Canada, whose single-payer system bears a close resemblance to Medicare for All. Our neighbors to the north wait a median of nearly 20 weeks to get treatment from a specialist after receiving a referral from a general practitioner. Patients in certain areas wait even longer. In New Brunswick, it takes a median of 45.1 weeks to get specialist treatment.
Many patients aren't willing to wait. So they head abroad. SecondStreet.org, a Canadian think tank, estimates that more than 217,000 people left Canada in 2017 to seek care.
Medicare for All sounds like a good deal. But it will only hurt businesses, their employees, and all Americans.

I have a juvenile on probation who is detained for violations and new offenses. As a term and condition of probation, we have access to his Facebook account. There is information in his account we would like to preserve. Does anyone see a problem with his probation officer changing his password?
Did you ever come up with an answer to this?
Is there a particular need to lock down the account so that the person cannot access it? It seems to me the simplest way to preserve the information would be to either print the information as paper copies or convert the print to an electronic PDF and save that information. The person who does so will be able to authenticate it and link it to Defendant.
We have "locked down" the account until we can get a preservation letter to FaceBook. I have concluded that I am comfortable with the probation officers doing this, provided they do not post or make any entries while logged on as the probationer.

Conversion rate optimisation (CRO) is the process of making changes to your website to improve the ratio of site visitors to customers. We analyse the way users interact with your website, and develop ideas on how to increase engagement and conversion rate through various tests and changes.
A higher conversion rate results in a better ROI from every traffic source and campaign you run. It benefits every aspect of search marketing by increasing the value of every visitor to your site. The improvements are permanent so the value of each change continues long after the testing is complete. Even if you were to build a new website in five years' time, you will have the conclusions from every test we run which forms a knowledge bank of best practice for your next website.
Our conversion rate optimisation service will always be tailored to your individual needs, current site performance and commercial objectives. With this being the case, the tools that we use and the tests that we will conduct will vary from business-to-business. However, each CRO campaign will consist of a hypothesis report, ongoing testing and analysis with conclusions and recommended changes.
Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) – We use VWO to run A/B and multivariate testing without coding or HTML. This means that you don't need to change or update your website code every time you create an on-site test. VWO also has a powerful Landing Page Analyzer tool, a large community for usability testing and heatmap tools. We can utilise each of these during the planning and execution of our CRO tests.
Google Analytics – Google Analytics collects detailed statistics about a website's traffic and traffic sources and measures conversions and sales. Data from Google Analytics is monitored and evaluated for all aspects of the conversion rate optimisation process. Key insights from your Google Analytics profile are included in your monthly report, and your Account Manager will monitor this data closely throughout the campaign.
In light of its ability to permanently increase your ratio of visitors to customers, CRO is rapidly becoming a primary focus within many search marketing strategies; if it isn't yet integrated into your strategy, it's likely that you're leaving money on the table.
Below is an example of how our CRO service can make a difference to your business. As you can see from the example, a 0.5% increase in conversion rate could make the difference of £17.5k in sales for a typical monthly budget.
Pictured above: How CRO can make a difference to an average business.

In this What Works Scotland seminar, Briege Nugent presented findings from a qualitative study of young people living in poverty, providing unique insight into their lives.
and also what triggered, helped and hindered those who were trying to desist from offending.
The participants were met through Includem's unique Transitional Support set up in Scotland to provide emotional and practical help for those vulnerable in this age group. Over the course of the research, a small number never left the service, and for the majority who did, it was found that they had limited to no other support in their lives but were reluctant to ask for help, even when they were in real need.
They were all acutely aware of their precarious situation and in many ways had accepted or blamed themselves for their unequal position. This study, although small, shows the impact of what the Christie Commission refers to as 'the cycle of deprivation and low aspiration' that has been allowed to persist. We are living in a society, where a population of what should be aspiring young adults have little to no expectations of what they are entitled to, what they can expect and what the future holds.
In many ways, for them social justice simply does not exist. Briege Nugent called for renewed hope so that inaction and continued poverty and inequality are not rendered inevitable.
Her presentation was followed by reflections from Karen McCulloch from Includem, and open discussion on key issues.
