The 2015 Best Of TV Awards Winner for Best Guest Star is Enrico Colantoni "Person Of Interest".
Enrico Colantoni "Person of Interest" wins Best Guest Star in his 2nd consecutive year of making the finals of a category (Recurring Actor last year). The man who brings to life the bad guy who has a soft spot for the good guys, Carl Elias is officially the first actor on the show to win an acting award for the show.
Aleks Paunovic "The 100" had a solid run near the end of voting and moved all the way up to 2nd, coming from 6th with 2 days left. Nate Torrence "Supernatural" had the lead early on in voting, but too much vote splitting by SPN fans cost him a real shot at a win here, and he narrlowly finishes 3rd ahead of 2 other SPN Guest Stars, Travis Aaron Wade in 4th 1 vote ahead of Timothy Omundson in 5th.
Emily Bett Rickards "The Flash" finished in 6th, quite a bit further back than I predicted in my guesses for this category. Taraji P Henson "Person Of Interest" was 7th. Ksenia Solo "Lost Girl" nabbed an 8th place spot in her 5th consecutive finals for this character which included a 2nd place finish for "Recurring Actress" just last year. Just behind her was Emily Kinney "The Walking Dead' in 9th. Alex Kingston "Doctor Who" was 10th.

The Best Recurring Actor category might be poised to relinquish the dominance that Supernatural has had over it for 4 years. While the show does have 1 finalist in Curtis Armstrong, it seems like he will certainly have some serious competition this year from others on other shows. A bit of a shocker to me, Bradley James from iZombie led voting in the semi-finals. Ian Anthony Dale from "Hawaii Five-0" was tied for 2nd with Armstrong. Winston Duke from "Person of Interest" a 5th place Guest Star finalist last year, finds himself in the hunt for the Recurring honour this year. Noah Wyle, John Noble, Joshua Jackson and Jon Hamm all find themselves competing in this category this year, all previously were finalists in the main actor categories for completely different shows, in the past.
The Best Recurring Actress Category finalists had another minor upset (to me at least) in the semi-finals. Ann Mahoney from "The Walking Dead" a non-factor in round 1 voting where she finished 32nd, led voting this round. Felicia Day from "Supernatural" , the 2013 Winner of this award was 2nd. Alycia Debnam-Carey will have two spots in the finals, one for "The 100" & one for "Fear The Walking Dead". Michelle Borth of "Hawaii Five-0" makes the finals as a Recurring actress this year, after missing out on the finals in the Best Action/Drama Actress category last year. Camren Mannheim led 3 "Person Of Interest" actresses into the finals, along with cara Buono and Annie Ilonzeh. Ksenia Solo, a finalist last year in this category for "Lost Girl" is back with her work on "Orphan Black". Katrina Law, a finalist in this category last year, and caity Lotz, a finalist in the Best Sci-fi/Fantasy Actress category last year represent "Arrow" in the finals this year here. Rachel Nichols "Continuum" makes the finals one last time for her work on the show in its final season, this time in the Recurring category.
The Best Guest Star Category was led by the Winner of the Best Action/Drama Actress category last year. Emily Bett Rickards "The Flash" led voting for the same cahracter that won her the most notable actress award last year, this time on a different show. She was also a finalist last year in this category for this very role, finishing 6th. Taraji P. Henson "Person Of Interest" is a finalist for her work with the character that got her a finalist nod in 2013 in the Best Action/Drama Actress field. Travis Aaron Wade, a finalist for Recurring Actor last year is back in the finals as a Guest Star this year for his work on "Supernatural". Another "Suypernatural" finalist is Timothy Omundson, better known as a 3X finalist for Best Comedy Actor for his work on "Psych". Enrico Colantoni "Person of Interest" is back in the finals again after last year being there in the Recurring Actor category. Julian Richings "Supernatural" gets back into the finals after 1st appearing in this categories inagural award in 2011. Lucy Lawless "Agents Of SHIELD" is back in the finals in this category after finishing 3rd in it last year. Stephen Amell "The Flash" also returns after a 7th place finish last year. Grant Gustin "Arrow" also is back after being a finalist last year. Mark Hamill "The Flash" finds himself as a finalist, fresh off his massive 5 second role in Star Wars The Force Awakens. John Noble is a double finalist this year. With his Recurring honour, and his work on "Forever" he gets a spot in this finals too. Ksenia Solo "Lost Girl" is also a double finalist this year. Her Recurring nod, and her Guest Star nod for "Lost Girl", her 5th finals for this show (3 Sci-Fi/Fantasy Actress, 1 Recurring, 1 Guest). Wil Wheaton "The Big Bang Theory" is back as a finalist after being one for his work on the show in 2012. Robert Knepper "Hawaii Five-0" is back for a 2nd time in the Guest Star category, after being nominated last year for "Arrow" and its his 3rd straight year making at least the semi-finals in this category as he did so in 2013 for "The Blacklist" making him the first ever actor nominated in the same category 3 years in a row for 3 different shows. Rebecca Mader "Once Upon A Time" makes it back to the finals for the first time since 2012 when she did so with her Guest Spot on "Fringe". Sarah Bolger "Once Upon A Time" makes the finals for a 2nd time, last being 2013 as a Recurring Actress. Colin Donnell "Arrow" is back for a 2nd straight year for his work on the show as a Guest Star. Bex Taylor-Klaus the 2014 Best Youth Actress winner, is also back for a 2nd time for her Guest Star work on "Arrow". The 2013 Best Action/Drama Actor winner John Barrowman is in the finals with his work on "The Flash". Bob Newhart "The Big Bang Theory" is in his 2nd consecutive finals for Guest Star.
The Final round of the 2015 Best Of TV Awards will be under way with some categories soon. Each voting round will last 3 to 6 days..

The Winner of the 2014 Best Of TV Award for Best Guest Star is.... Osric Chau "Supernatural"
For the 3rd consecutive year a Supernatural Guest Star wins this award. Osric Chau, the 2013 Recurring Actor Award winner nabs the 2014 honour for Best Guest Star. Only a 31 vote margin of victory over another SPN familiar face, Kim Rhodes in 2nd, Rhodes held the lead several times as her and Chau leapfrogged each other a few times in the last 3 days before Chau took enough of a lead to not be caught. This is the smallest margin of victory in this category to date. In 3rd was "Agent Of SHIELD" guest Star Lucy Lawless.
Another Supernatural guest star, Rob Benedict nabbed 4th ahead of Person of Interest guest star Winston Duke in 5th, Duke held the lead for much of the 1st two days of voting before slowing down considerably. Shockingly, considering the dominance she has had in all her other categories so far this year, Emily Bett Rickards finished a mediocre 6th in the guest star category for her spot on "The Flash" just ahead of Stephen Amell for the same episode. In 8th was "Once Upon A Time" guest star Rose McGowanjust ahead of 9th place Cliff Simon from "Castle" and rounding out the top 10 was a rare 3 way tie with Colin O'Donnell "Arrow", Hugh Dillon "Continuum" & Bob Newhart "The Big Bang Theory" all tying for the spot.
Deon Richmond "Psych" nabbed 13th ahead of Natalie Dormer "Elementary" in 14th. Grant Gustin "Arrow" took 15th ahead of Robert Knepper 16th, Michael Rowe 17th & Charlotte Ross back in 18th also all from "Arrow.

The New Program category looks like an all but foregone conclussion with The Flash getting nearly as many votes as 2nd thru 5th combined had. It should also be noted that finalist Outlander led the opening round, and has won several other online polls in the last year of note. Despite their mediocre finish in the semi-finals heare, a win cant be ruled out for this internet phenomenon. Of course How To Get Away With Murder & Gotham will also do their best to rally more fans for the finals.


The latest addition to Xenonyms' catalogue is the debut release from OVER SEER member L3T3. A 23 year old producer from the city of Cracow. 'CARE' EP is an exciting piece of contemporary music influenced by various genres such as witch house, coldwave and experimental music.
Our pick off the EP is 'Incarnations'. A track that will have the listener leaping into a twisted industrial world carried on a synth, which does well to replicate an overly distorted string ensemble backed up with harder hitting drum lines.
L3T3's 'CARE' EP will be released on August 3rd.

JFK Heating and Cooling, LLC is proud to serve the Beavercreek community!
About Beavercreek, OH - Happy to be your hometown Heating & Air Conditioning Contractor!
Located in Greene County, OH, Beavercreek is a large Dayton suburb, and with a population of over 45,000 residents, it is the largest city in the county. The area was settled in the early 19th century, and a portion of Beavercreek Township was incorporated to become the city in February 1980. This city is found near the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, which provides employment for many of Beavercreek's residents. There are numerous other job opportunities and industries found in the region, which is part of the reason that Beavercreek has been ranked as one of the top 100 places to live by CNN Money.
Beavercreek is home to a variety of attractions and things to do. There are two main golf courses located in this community: the Country Club of the North and the Beavercreek Golf Club. Shopping is popular at the Mall at Fairfield Commons and the Greene Town Center, but specialty shops like Winans Chocolates and Coffees, the Beavercreek Florist, and Books & Co are also found in the community. Other notable attractions in the area include the Woodhouse Day Spa, the Gravity Spa Flotation Center, and Beaver-Vu Bowling.
Beavercreek is situated in between humid continental and humid subtropical zones with distinctive weather patterns throughout the year. Summers in the region are hot and muggy, with high temperatures in July reaching the upper-80s. Tornadoes are also popular during this season leading into the fall, so it is crucial that residents have access to central air conditioning to keep their homes safe and comfortable during the most severe of weather conditions.
Autumn tends to be mild and leads to a cold but dry winter. January is the coldest month of the year, with average high temperatures reaching the mid-30s. The community only sees about a foot of snow per year, on average, but it is crucial that residents still invest in a heat pump or furnace in order to keep interior conditions warm throughout the season.


what's funny is that when I first saw it on the 2017 718 , it immediately brought to mind the branding emblem location and orientation ....of the 2013 Dodge Dart !
It's just terrible and bad design.
So true and so depressing! Wish I had enough dough to get another 10 991.1s, lock them away and slowly deplete from the stash for the remainder of my insignificant life!
I keep hearing this and I'm wondering if it would be implemented with the TT/TTS becoming a mini 918 or as an alternative Carrera (maybe a C4/C4S) with the idea of fairly high production numbers. Or even both by sticking the electric motor up front for all 4wd drivetrains.
This is what I foresee for the TT/TTS platform. I suspect that the TT/TTS will be hybrid only and have performance numbers to rival the 918. 3.8 with new tech turbochargers would do the trick.
Interior should be updated to mirror the Panamera, I'm guessing. Lots of capacitive touch screen type switches.
Downside is that the TT/TTS will be even heavier than it already is and, personally, I would want to wait at least until 992.2 before buying into a brand new hybrid platform.
Really interested to see where the hybrid model might fit in the Carrera range... As a new 'base' model with the focus on economy, or above the S with the focus on performance?
I have had 7 Audi's in the last 13 years and I can say that until they get their nose-heavy feel completely eliminated, there will never be a reason to pick a TTS over any Porsche.
It's not a very logical shorthand.
I think he understands.... Audi used to make all their cars incredibly nose heavy. The last S4 with a V8 was probably the worst balanced german performance car you could get with an awful weight distribution.
He is saying that the AWD system on porsche makes the TT/TTS[911's] too front heavy.
Turbo has 40/60 weight distribution like the rest of them. It's still got an engine in the rear - seems weird to compare it to a front engine v8 Audi, but whatever.
AWD dynamics are a matter of taste, regardless of design.
...there will never be a reason to pick a TTS over any Porsche.
I thought the same as you at first, but the statement quoted above, "...pick a TTS over any Porsche" implies a TTS is not a Porsche. Which, of course, an Audi TTS is not.
But maybe it will remain a semantic mystery!

This lesson will cover a few examples to illustrate the equation of the tangent to a circle in point form. Let's begin.
Solution Note that the problem asks you to find the equation of the tangent at a given point, unlike in a previous situation, where we found the tangents of a given slope.
Therefore, we'll use the point form of the equation from the previous lesson.
The required equation will be x(4) + y(-3) = 25, or 4x – 3y = 25.
Example 2 Find the equation of the tangent to the circle x2 + y2 – 2x – 6y – 15 = 0 at the point (5, 6).
Solution This one is similar to the previous problem, but applied to the general equation of the circle.
We'll use the point form once again. The required equation will be x(5) + y(6) + (–2)(x + 5) + (– 3)(y + 6) – 15 = 0, or 4x + 3y = 38.
Solution We've done a similar problem in a previous lesson, where we used the slope form. Here, I'm interested to show you an alternate method.
The problem has given us the equation of the tangent: 3x + 4y = 25.
But we know that any tangent to the given circle looks like xx1 + yy1 = 25 (the point form), where (x1, y1) is the point of contact.
Therefore, to find the values of x1 and y1, we must 'compare' the given equation with the equation in the point form. Head over to this lesson, to understand what I mean about 'comparing' lines (or equations).
On comparing the coefficients, we get x1/3 = y1/4 = 25/25, which gives the values of x1 and y1 as 3 and 4 respectively.
The point of contact therefore is (3, 4).
Example 4 Find the point where the line 4y – 3x = 20 touches the circle x2 + y2 – 6x – 2y – 15 = 0.
Solution This problem is similar to the previous one, except that now we don't have the standard equation.
We'll use the new method again – to find the point of contact, we'll simply compare the given equation with the equation in point form, and solve for x1 and y1.
The equation of the tangent in the point for will be xx1 + yy1 – 3(x + x1) – (y + y1) – 15 = 0, or x(x1 – 3) + y(y1 – 1) = 3x1 + y1 + 15.
On comparing the coefficients, we get (x1 – 3)/(-3) = (y1 – 1)/4 = (3x1 + y1 + 15)/20. On solving the equations, we get x1 = 0 and y1 = 5.
Therefore, the point of contact will be (0, 5).
Note that in the previous two problems, we've assumed that the given lines are tangents to the circles. Comparing non-tangents to the point form will lead to some strange results, which I'll talk about sometime later.
Example 5 Show that the tangent to the circle x2 + y2 = 25 at the point (3, 4) touches the circle x2 + y2 – 18x – 4y + 81 = 0. Also find the point of contact.
The problem has three parts – finding the equation of the tangent, showing that it touches the other circle and finally finding the point of contact.
We've got quite a task ahead, let's begin!
To prove that this line touches the second circle, we'll use the condition of tangency, i.e. its distance from the center of the circle must be equal to its radius.
The circle's center is (9, 2) and its radius is 2.
The distance of the line 3x + 4y – 25 = 0 from (9, 2) is |3(9) + 4(2) – 25|/5 = 2, which is equal to the radius. Almost done!
Now to find the point of contact, I'll show yet another method, which I had hinted in a previous lesson – it'll be the foot of perpendicular from the center to the tangent.
To find the foot of perpendicular from the center, all we have to do is find the point of intersection of the tangent with the line perpendicular to it and passing through the center.
The required perpendicular line will be (y – 2) = (4/3)(x – 9) or 4x – 3y = 30.
And the final step – solving the obtained line with the tangent gives us the foot of perpendicular, or the point of contact as (39/5, 2/5).
Phew! We're finally done. That'll be all for this lesson.
The next lesson cover tangents drawn from an external point.


On December 21st, 2015, the Argentine Executive Power enacted Law No. 27,222, passed by the Argentine Congress on November 25th, 2015, which modifies sections 18 of the Mediation Law No. 26,589 (the "Mediation Law") and sections 16 and 17 of the Trademark Law No. 22,362 (the "Trademark Law").
Section 16 of the Trademark Law establishes a one year term for the applicant to obtain the withdrawal of the opposition or to file court actions against the opponent if the opposition is not settled (fulfilling the pre-trial mandatory mediation proceedings before filing the complaint). The Trademark Office will declare the abandonment of the application if the opposition is not withdrawn or if the applicant did not initiate legal actions against the opponent seeking the court to declare the opposition ill founded within this annual term.
Moreover, section 17 of the Trademark Law establishes that the complaint seeking the court to declare the opposition ill founded must be filed with the Trademark Office and that the Trademark Office haves 10 days to send the complaint jointly with the opposition file to the Federal Courts on Civil and Commercial matters. Lastly, section 18 of the Mediation Law established the suspension of the statute of limitation term due to the initiation of mediation proceedings against the opponent.
Law No. 27,222 modifies section 18 of the Mediation Law excluding the suspensive effects of the initiation of mediation proceedings in trademark opposition cases. Section 1 of Law No. 27,222 establishes that the suspensive effect of the statute of limitation term due to the initiation of mediation proceedings will not be applicable to trademark and opposition proceedings set forth in the Trademark Law. Therefore and in view of this amendment, the initiation of mediation will not suspend the annual term set for in section 16 of the Trademark Law to obtain the withdrawal of the opposition or initiating legal actions against the opponent if the opposition is not settled.
In addition, Law No. 27,222 amend sections 16 and 17 of the Trademark Law establishing that an affidavit of the attorney in fact declaring that the pre trial mediation proceedings have been completed must be submitted in order to be able to file compliant seeking the court to declare the opposition ill founded.
Law No. 27,222 will become effective as from 90 days of the publication date.

Former Days of our Lives star Kate Mansi (Ex-Abigail) certainly knows how to bring the cray-cray! And she is about to do it again when LMN premieres this Sunday, January 8th her new TV movie, The Boyfriend Killer at 8PMET. But Mansi also stars alongside another former DAYS star … Patrick Muldoon (Ex-Austin)!
In story, after her son is killed, Sandra Cruz gathers his belongings and meets what she thought was his ex- girlfriend, Krystal (Kate Mansi), at his apartment. When Krystal's story begins to present holes, Sandra starts suspecting that she may be behind her son's death.
To check out The Boyfriend Killer, be sure to tune in to the Lifetime Movie Network this Sunday. Now. check out Kate in action after the jump! Let us know if the trailer has piqued your interest to tune-in and watch Ms. Mansi!
I am so going to catch this. This movie sounds like it's something that's up my alley!!!
Those movies are over the top ridiculous. Paige Search (jade DOOL) was just recently in one. It's what LifeTime does. To me it's a disturbing trend. It does nothing for their careers.
Can you say Jodi Arias? Ripped from the headlines!
Ok fine, good for her.
Now come back and play Abigail at Days of Our Lives because this 'thing' isn't really working between Chad and the new actress – it's not difficult to understand why Chad isn't drawn to her – not to say that the current actress isn't attractive because she is – but there's no "chemistry" there in my opinion for some reason. I think the current actress is fine 'acting wise' but there's just something there….concerning the characters of Chad and Abby.
Kate Mansi is a GREAT Actress! I watched the movie Boyfriend Killer. She is great in it. She's very versatile. That's what makes a Great Actress. Best of Luck Kate Mansi!


To start, you have to learn about the wonderful world of "virtualization." Virtualization is a techie buzzword that simply means running another operating system (with all its associated applications) on another operating system — for example, running Windows 10 on your Apple's macOS platform.
The implication of this apparent magic is that you can actually run Microsoft Project on your Mac — something that most folks find unfathomable since Microsoft doesn't make a version to run natively on your shiny aluminum Apple laptop. So why not turn this problem on its head and just run Windows on your Mac?
It's economical in the end. Recently, IBM found that Apple hardware is more cost-effective than any other is. This year the company purchased 100,000 Macs for employee use instead of buying the hardware you'd expect, such as Lenovo or Dell. IBM estimates it will save about $600 USD per employee over three years in hardware expenses. In my own business, I've saved even more. I've found that the average lifespan of an Apple computer lasts longer than four years and my clients can run the latest operating systems throughout that lifespan.
If you have an Apple laptop at home and another PC laptop at work, you may find yourself having to choose one over the other — or worse, carrying both around! With virtualization software, there's no need for such backbreaking nonsense.
If you worry about PC viruses and PC malware (and who doesn't?), running a virtual instance of Windows is easier to recover from should a software bug bite you. Virtual instances of Windows that go south can be quickly blown away and restored fresh using snapshots.
Multiple instances of Windows can be created and run on a Mac at will, allowing you to test new software. If something goes wrong, you can easily roll back to a previous snapshot in time (similar to the previous reason).
In your virtual space, you're running authentic Microsoft software (just like all your office buds) and not some version created to run (and ultimately fail) for the Mac. For example, anyone who has tried to share Office for Mac files with Windows users will eventually run into a glitch or incompatibility. Trust me.
Moreover, in the case of Microsoft Project, you really have no choice! Project must be run in Windows, as there is no other version that runs on the Mac — unlike some of the other Microsoft Office apps that are built for both OSs.
Project Viewer 365 from Housatonic is a native Mac app that allows you to view or edit Project files on your Mac without virtualization. For users who don't touch Windows PCs that's a perfectly reasonable solution. However, it should be noted that the cost of $80 per year for a version of Project Viewer 365 that edits your .MPP files is oftentimes higher than the cost of buying true virtualization software. In my mind, running true-blue Project software to edit your precious project files is the safest and best way to go.
Getting Windows (and ultimately Project) to run on a Mac is neither complicated nor expensive. Note that if you're not technically inclined, the procedure may sound a bit challenging because it requires a software installation akin to installing Windows.
I've vacillated between these two choices over the years, with both doing the same thing in about the same way. I've recently settled on the Parallels product because of its great product support and overall simplicity.
A note to those who have tried Apple's Boot Camp Utility to run Windows on a Mac in the past: forgettaboutit — not recommended!
Install the virtualization package (Parallels or VMWare).
Install the Windows version of your choice into a virtual space, which is simplified with onboard wizards. Windows 10 is the ideal choice.
Install any version of Microsoft Project and any other Office and/or Windows apps of your choosing.
Run your instance of virtual Windows in full screen mode, allowing you to just swipe between working on the Mac side and Windows side.
You'll need lots of free hard drive space. Each virtual instance (called a virtual machine or VM in techie lingo) consumes from 30 gigabytes to 90, depending on how much you put into it. My most common VMs contain all of Office, Project and Adobe Creative Suite, and those are at least 50 GB large. Then, you need to factor in plenty of additional storage for growth (added files and even more apps).
You can run your virtual machine on an external USB3 drive, but for better performance and reliability, it's best to have your VM on your internal drive or SSD (even better). If you have to upgrade your SSD or hard drive, remember, it's worth the expense, as you're really getting two laptops for the price of one, plus the cost of a larger drive.
Once created, a virtual machine is contained in a single (albeit gigantic) file and can be moved from machine to machine as needed. As always, it should be backed up by copying to a safe location. If you're an OS X Time Machine user, you'll want to exclude this huge file from the Time Machine backup, since including the VM file in that backup will slow things down.
You'll need licenses for all the software running in your VM, for example, for a new instance of Windows. Windows 8 and above is recommended, and Windows 10 works best.
As far as what MacBook this approach works best on, the obvious choice is the fastest and most expensive! However, any new MacBook sold in the last year or so will work fine. Older MacBook Airs may struggle, but any MacBook Pro sold in the past few years will work well, as will any newer iMac. Newer Mac Minis also work and, of course, the power-horse Mac Pro will run many multiple VMs at once.
The important take-away about VM files is that once created, they can be copied, modified and shared. Everything you need is self-contained in that one ginormous file. Typically, (as done within my organization), a techie initially creates the VM file and shares with other staff (with appropriate software licensing applied).
Once all is installed and set up, you'll find working with Microsoft Project no different from working on any other type of machine. You just do what you do: create project schedules, produce Gantt charts and interact with Project Server just as you did on a PC. Nothing has changed here. You'll find that Project is snappy and responsive, as are all other applications running in your virtual environment.
When storing your work files, I recommend that you not save them inside of your virtual space, but instead save them to the cloud or to the file directories on the Mac side. VMs are great for running a different operating system and Windows applications on a Mac, but I wouldn't keep my precious project files there. I store all my work files in the cloud, so that no matter what happens to my machine, virtual or otherwise, I know they will be safe. Why? VMs can be used as temporary spaces, to either test new applications or otherwise be blown away — in case you catch a malware bug, which is common when working with Windows-based machines.
You may have work files in your Mac directories (on the desktop, in your documents folder, etc.). In that case, no fear! Your new VM will see these files and allow you to edit them directly without having a copy on the Windows side of things. In short, the VM running Windows is a collection of software running in a virtual space, interacting with all of your files on the Mac side.
You also get to choose which applications are run where, regardless of which side of the fence you're working on. For example, Parallels Desktop can be configured to open up all of your web pages in Safari, just in case you're not a fan of Internet Explorer or Window's new browser, Edge. Likewise, with document files; you can choose to open up spreadsheets in either Numbers or Excel, or presentations in either Keynote or PowerPoint.
My recommendation is this: If you're running, say, Windows 10 on your Mac, why not open all your document files using real Windows software? I know I do, and I have never been sorry. As a long-time Mac user, I have run into situations when using Numbers or Keynote that the files don't translate well into Excel or PowerPoint when I'm sharing with Windows users — too many gotchas for my nervous system!
As a lover of both the Mac operating system and the Windows 10 operating system, I've never been happier with my two-in-one machine. I've saved tons of money using this method and no longer have to tote around two laptops — the one I love (my Mac) and one I must use for my business (the PC).
For the past several years, I've found other advantages outside of maintaining two separate laptops. First, I find work much more enjoyable and affordable. Yes, I've had to upgrade my SSD, and I've had to buy top-of-the-line Macs, but I've saved tons of dollars and no longer have to work on what I consider inferior and short-lived hardware. I've truly found comfort and joy while working within the best of both computing worlds.
Oh, boy! I was glued to ms project like forever – and I hated it!
Let's be honest, this tool was designed like ages ago, it is a strong tool but not the Mac app at all!
Just try any alternative which supports MS project files and forget it like a nightmare.
@Allan K: ha! Well, that's another route. But some of us either love MS Project or have to collaborate with other MS Project users. I fall in both of those camps. In my workshops (www.pcatww.com/training), I do show participants many of those alternatives listed, and the best imo are Omniplan (which works in both macOS and iOS) and ConceptDraw (works everywhere). However, the import / export functions for all these tools is not perfect, and when collaborating on complex project structures, sooner or later you will run into a data transformation "gothca." So to avoid those snafus, I recommend just using the real deal when working with other MS Project users.
Thanx, Jigs! Sure, it's all just a Sophie's choice somehow.
@ Natalie: thx for the comment and best of luck with the install / setup. Just let me know here if run into any problems.
Great post Jigs. I completely agree that it makes life much easier combing Windows and Mac into one. Just to add to what you and Allan said, there are a considerable number of other Microsoft Project for Mac alternatives other than OmniPlan although many are cloud based. I agree with Jigs though that nothing beats the real thing in the end. Thanks again.
@ James T: thx for your comment!
I recently set up a VM using VirtualBox, free application. I was also able to snag a free version of Win 10 via the 'Windows Insider Program'. I found this setup recommendation on another site via Google search. Have you any experience with VirtualBox, if so any comments or suggestions? Only issue I am experiencing is easily sharing files across Win10 VM to MacOS and vice versa. Easiest workaround has been using my cloud service. Great article, thanks.
@ Mike… interesting, a Spanish virtualization eh? There are several apps like that out there, some I've tried with little luck. I am really digging Parallels Desktop Pro V12 right now… it will run anything windows I throw at it. And when I need Android or iPad project plan editing, I use http://www.projectplan365.com – also very cool!
@ MAC guru: not a fan of that service. I gave it a try and 1) no access to local file system that I could see, and 2) I don't feel comfortable entering in cloud credentials on a server in the Czech Republic. Call me paranoid, but legit services should use something like AWS or DO, imo.
Several PMs at my company work with Project based PPM (O365) on a Mac through Parallels – typically Windows 10 install. Some use it okay but several have experienced their virtual environment slowing Project down to a crawl where they have to wait a minute or more after pressing an option for it to respond. No one has figured out the issue – either they aren't technical enough or have time (since they are Project Managers – not IT gurus). For anyone out there who is considering this, also consider who can help you when things go sideways and you cannot update your projects. Some of our PMs have moved back to PCs just so they can remain productive.
Great article Jigs. Thanks. You mention "full screen" above. Have you used "Unity mode" in VMware?
Nice article. One question you don't seem to answer is how to get Windows most economically, and how much it should cost you. I guess that's just a task for Google, but for us Mac-only folks, it would be nice information to see in this article.
@bencarlon, thx for that. I had not seen that app before. Great features, but with my investment in .mpp, I won't be importing and exporting any day soon. For iPad / Phone, I use http://www.projectplan365.com, which opens .mpp natively. That said, I love the interface in Merlin and that Mindmap feature rocks.

Is it permissible for an Islamic charity to spend Zakat funds on assets owned collectively by poor and needy communities?
Q: Is it permissible for an Islamic charity to spend Zakat funds on assets owned by poor and needy communities, and which aim to benefit and assist poor and needy individuals? This may include building or financially supporting schools, hospitals, orphanages or wells.
الجواب حامدا ومصليا ومسلما ومنه الصدق والصواب
A: The principle recipients of zakat funds are the poor who must be given possession and ownership of the zakat funds. It is not sufficient to simply spend on the needs of the poor from the zakat funds. This is the position of the four Sunni schools of jurisprudence.
Please refer to the following link for a full discussion on spending directly on welfare projects: http://alqalam.org.uk/research-papers/utilising-zakat-for-welfare-projects/
Thus, it is not permissible for an Islamic charity to simply spend zakat funds on assets owned by poor and needy communities such as building or financially supporting schools, hospitals, orphanages or wells with the aim to benefit and assist poor and needy individuals without granting them possession and ownership. Transfer of ownership of such projects to local community organisations or cooperatives does not satisfy the requirements of zakat laws. There are stringent conditions that must be met in order to ensure the proper discharge of the obligation of zakat. Under an Islamic system, the avenues of expenditure identified in the question would be met through other income streams such as kharaj (land tax).
Fatawa, Zakat Fatawa, Zakat Recipients and Usage Fatawafatawa, Zakāt Fatwā
Is the Takaful model the government wants to introduce for funding university tuition permissible?
Is it permissible for an Islamic charity to give Zakat funds to individual beneficiaries in the form of goods rather than cash?


When a baseball-sized mass on Becky Spears' left ovary had grown even larger despite three months of standard therapy with birth control pills, her gynecologist recommended surgery.
Trouble was, the gynecologist's surgical partner was booked for two months and wouldn't have access to an operating room equipped for robotic surgery at a community hospital for a month after that. The prospect of waiting another three months sent the soccer-playing mother of three into a panic.
A relative suggested that Spears contact the experts at the UC Irvine Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, the only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center in Orange County and one of only 41 in the nation. In little more than a week, ovarian cancer specialist Dr. Krishnansu S. Tewari performed robot-assisted outpatient surgery at UC Irvine Medical Center, removing a cyst that had ballooned to nearly three inches in diameter inside her left fallopian tube.
Spears, a former middle-school teacher, was back to her regimen of shuttling children, running and playing in a women's soccer league within a month of the procedure last Jan. 27. She says Tewari "was glad we had done it when we did because it was just a matter of time before it would burst." She was also relieved to know that the tumor wasn't malignant.
Most women of child-bearing age develop ovarian cysts and 95 percent of these are benign, disappearing within a few menstrual cycles. Those that don't dissolve or respond to standard hormone therapy can be cause for concern.
Tewari told Spears after his initial examination that the soft mass was likely benign but that he wouldn't know for sure unless he operated, which he recommended given that it had grown larger since it was first discovered in October of 2009.
"You really don't know what it is until you get it out," explains Tewari, who led the university's participation in groundbreaking clinical trials of the drug Avastin®, which shows considerable promise in treating ovarian cancer. The disease kills an estimated 15,000 of the 22,000 U.S. women diagnosed with it each year and is second only to lung cancer in lethality among women.
Because the doctors at Orange County's only university medical center have access to more robotic equipment than at most community hospitals, Tewari was able to schedule a procedure right away. Within 10 minutes of removing the cyst at UC Irvine's Douglas Hospital, he got lab confirmation that it was benign. The robotic system's three-dimensional images also allowed him to see that she had healthy tissue throughout her pelvic area, prompting him to close three small incisions and send her home after anesthesia wore off later the same day.
Spears' word for Tewari is "incredible," and not just because he patiently answered her every query without "talking down to me," rearranged his schedule to get her in quickly and provided his mobile phone number, encouraging her to use it at any hour if she had a problem or a question. It also was because of his concern about her husband's ability to rearrange his business travel schedule so that he could be at the hospital when she had surgery.
Maybe so, but to the surgeon, her husband's presence was essential in the event that the tumor ruptured or turned out to be cancer. Likewise, giving out his cell number and checking in personally just before and in the hours and days after surgery is just good patient care.

Points of Interest in Santa Barbara Costa Rica.
Santa Barbara is home to one of the most unique tours in Costa Rica: The Ark Herb Farm. This destination is usually off-the-beaten path for tourists, but extremely popular with the locals. The Ark Herb Farm is dedicated to perma-culture, education, and research, and consists of a 17-acre farm with over 600 species of medicinal and culinary plants, many indigenous to Costa Rica and from around the world. This guided and informative walking tour will delight the senses, providing a plethora of sights and smells. One of the first farms in Costa Rica to offer culinary herbs throughout the country, The Ark Herb Farm tour is a moderately strenuous hike and is recommended during the drier months, December through April. Available to the general public, one can purchase fresh lettuces and greens as well as edible flowers and other plants that are grown on the property. Tips: bilingual tour guides are available and, for a small additional fee, a delightful luncheon will be served, tasting samples of the farm's bounty.
Speaking of eating…one of the most popular places to chow down is located at Santa Barbara Marisco's Seafood House just outside of town towards Alajuela. Great service and fresh food, this family style restaurant owns their own fishing boats and refrigerated trucks, making the seafood some of the freshest to be found in the central valley. Sunday brunch is almost a social event and the large dining room can be packed with patrons by 12:30 p.m. Tip: For a more peaceful ambiance, request a table on the pretty patio.
Volcanos are a major attraction in Costa Rica and Volcan Poas is nearby Santa Barbara. In fact, one drives through Santa Barbara to get there. At an elevation of 2,700 meters above sea level, the best time of day to view the volcano is in the morning hours. Be prepared: it can get wet and chilly. Finally, on the road down from Poas, another "don't miss" attraction are the La Paz waterfalls.
Accommodations in Santa Barbara are mostly boutique hotels with stunning grounds and/or vistas of the valley below or distant mountains. The very first such B&B in Costa Rica, the Finca Rosa Blanca, offers guests individual and family suites with artful, unique décor, a gourmet restaurant prepared from local foods, coffee tours, hiking and a lovely oasis of a swimming pool.

How to Invest in Tech Stocks
By Lachlann Tierney
Technology — we love it, you love it, the entire world loves it.
Our lives are inundated with all manner of gadgets and gizmos. From 'smart' products that make your day-to-day life easy, to dense software that keeps billion-dollar corporations running, tech is everywhere.
The only reason you can read these words right now is because of tech. Whether it's on your phone, tablet or computer, you're here because of the power of technology.
Even the staunchest technophobes can't completely avoid the stuff. Most of them at least have a mobile phone nowadays…
Which begs the question: Who is making all this stuff and more importantly, how can you make money out of it?
How can I get started investing technology stocks?
Just like most major industries, your best bet to make money on tech is through publicly-traded stocks. And these stocks mean you've bought a small portion of a company.
When it comes to tech stocks, we're talking about companies that make and sell tech hardware, software or even services. Corporations that are in the business of technology.
These are companies that are often on the cutting edge. The companies looking for new and exciting products and services that could transform our modern world.
In fact, you're probably already quite familiar with some of the bigger names out there.
Stocks like Alphabet Inc [NASDAQ:GOOGL] (Google's parent company), Facebook, Inc. [NASDAQ:FB], Amazon.com, Inc. [NASDAQ:AMZN] and Apple Inc. [NASDAQ:AAPL], are four of the biggest companies on the planet. And all of them are tech companies.

Each one of them has made billions of dollars thanks to revolutionary technology. And their shareholders, the people who own stock in the company, have made a pretty penny themselves.
For example if you'd invested $1000 in each of these companies five years ago, you'd have made $14,510! That would've been an average return of 362% across all four stocks, making them some of the best tech stocks in history.
Today, you can still invest in these companies, but don't expect to see those kind of results.
These stocks have had their heyday. But the broader tech sector hasn't!
The future of technology is growing more exciting day by day. New ideas, new innovations and new opportunities are around every corner. You just have to know where to look…
The tremendous gains aren't at the top end of the market. You need to search for companies pushing the envelope, companies that could become the next 'titan'.
how to find the right tech investments
What you need to understand about tech stocks and technology ETFs, is that they're a different kind of beast.
'Tech' itself is an incredibly broad term. You could be dealing with a chipmaker from China or a social media company in the UK, or even an artificial intelligence (AI) developer in Australia.
There is no definitive limitation on what 'tech' can be, or where it can come from. Generally, the mass media will just lump anything remotely digital into the tech category, but there's so much more to it than that.
You've got to follow the trends to see where tech is headed next. Trends that the mainstream doesn't have time for.
If you want to know tech, then you've got to be able to speak tech. And it's easier to learn than you might think. You've just got to have a willingness to learn.
Your best bet is to just start Googling. Give that search button a run for its money and start immersing yourself in everything tech related.
Don't know where to begin? We've got you covered. You can subscribe to Revolutionary Tech Investor— our free e-letter that provides leading tech news.
You'll find information on stocks, trends and all manner of tech related news. More importantly, we keep it simple. Sifting through the junk and jargon to bring you informative and accessible info.
Where to buy tech stocks
Finally, what you need to understand is that tech is global. Sure, the big names are mainly located in the US. But you can find tech stocks everywhere.
Locally, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) is home to hundreds of tech companies. Stocks like Altium Limited [ASX:ALU] and Appen Ltd [ASX:APX], are some of our best and brightest.
Altium has generated a staggering 1,310% return over the past five years. Meanwhile, early investors in Appen have pocketed a mammoth 1,495% in just over three years!
These are the kind of tech stock gains you can find in the market. But while they may be billion dollar companies today, that wasn't always the case.
Both Altium and Appen started out as small companies with diminutive market caps. And it's their small beginnings that have made them so profitable.
See, smaller tech stocks generally have the most upside potential for monster gains. Companies that could yield massive returns in very short spaces of time.
You've just got to track them down. Which is easier said than done.
Again, this will all come down to what sort of tech you're looking at.
Is technology a good investment today?
Right now, the tech sector is in overdrive.
Companies all around the world are clamouring to pioneer a handful of major tech innovations. We're talking breakthroughs like AI, driverless cars, blockchain, biohacking and more.
In fact, the competition is so fierce to be 'first' that entire countries are being pitted against each other. It's a massive race to a technological utopia that will revolutionise the world.
Currently, that race is neck and neck between just two main players: the US and China. Two countries where technology investments are booming.
In the US, everyone knows about Silicon Valley. The place where anyone worth their salt in the tech space is located. A proverbial playground for developing some of the most revolutionary ideas of the past half-century.
But now there is new a challenger from the East. China has fast become a tech powerhouse of its own.
They're creating their own Silicon Valley. A space that is now a hotbed of tech investments that rivals America.
It's shaping up as the most explosive tech boom ever.
That's just the start though.
The next decade is going to be unlike anything we've ever seen in human history. The technology on the horizon will change the world like never before.
And if you're savvy, it could change your fortune in a big way, too.

Facebook gaming developers Zynga – they of FarmVille fame – are heading to the city next year with a new game called CityVille.
With something of a nod to Will Wright's classic SimCity, Zynga is taking its tried-and-tested casual simulation gaming model to the metropolis.
CityVille will let players become urban planners in what Zynga calls its "most social game" so far.
Versions will release at the same time in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.
A beta version is due within the next few weeks, Zynga announced this week. There goes Christmas!
In CityVille, gamers will be able to run restaurants and businesses, move goods around the town using trains and boats, and build schools or clear land for city expansion.
The similarities with SimCity are fairly obvious, to anybody who has spend an inordinate amount of their lives lost in Will Wright's sublime urban-planning sim.
Zynga hopes that its game will offer players an addition 'more social' layer, to let them interact with their friends cities – franchising businesses, exporting goods and establishing trade links.
CityVille also features the first 3-D buildings and characters in a Zynga game.
Zynga currently boasts over 225 million users playing its games via Facebook, MySpace, iPad and iPhone apps.
Zynga creator Mark Pincus said at this week's Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco that he wanted to "dog activate" the Web – meaning that he wants to see Zynga's dog logo everywhere.

Rules 204 to 225 of the Northern Ireland Highway Code.
It is particularly important to be aware of children, elderly, people with disabilities and learner and inexperienced drivers and riders.
There is a risk of pedestrians, especially children, stepping unexpectedly into the road. You should drive with the safety of children in mind at a speed suitable for the conditions.
Drive slowly and be particularly aware of young cyclists and pedestrians. In some places, there may be a flashing amber signal accompanying the 'School' or 'Patrol' warning sign which tells you that there may be children crossing the road ahead.
Drive very slowly until you are clear of the area.
Drive carefully when passing a stationary bus carrying school children or showing 'School Bus' markings or signs as children may be getting on or off.
You must stop when a school crossing patrol shows a 'Stop for children' sign (see 'Signals by authorised persons' and 'Signs giving orders).
It is often difficult to see motorcyclists and cyclists, especially when they are coming up from behind, coming out of junctions, at roundabouts, overtaking you or filtering through traffic.
Always look out for them before you emerge from a junction; they could be approaching faster than you think.
When turning right across a line of slow-moving or stationary traffic, look out for cyclists or motorcyclists on the inside of the traffic you are crossing.
Be especially careful when turning and when changing direction or lane. Be sure to check mirrors and blind spots carefully.
When passing animals, drive slowly. Give them plenty of room and be ready to stop.
Be particularly careful of horses and horse-drawn vehicles especially when overtaking.
Always pass wide and slowly. Horse riders are often children, so take extra care and remember riders may ride in double file when escorting a young or inexperienced horse or rider.
Look out for horse riders' and horse drivers' signals and heed a request to slow down or stop. Take great care and treat all horses as a potential hazard; they can be unpredictable despite the efforts of their rider/driver.
Their reactions may be slower than other drivers. Make allowance for this.
They may not be so skilful at anticipating and responding to events.
Be particularly patient with learner drivers, restricted drivers and young drivers.
Drivers are required to display R plates for one year after passing their test, not counting any periods of disqualification or revocation (see 'Annex 8 – Safety Code for New Drivers').
These are places where people could be using the whole of the road for a range of activities such as children playing or for a community event. You should drive slowly and carefully and be prepared to stop or allow people extra time to make space for you to pass them in safety.
You should look and listen for ambulances, fire engines, police, doctors or other emergency vehicles using blue, red or green lights and sirens or flashing headlights or for Driver and Vehicle Agency Enforcement Officer vehicles using flashing amber lights.
When one approaches do not panic. Consider the route of such a vehicle and take appropriate action to let it pass, while complying with all the traffic signs.
If necessary, pull to the side of the road and stop, but try to avoid stopping before the brow of a hill, a bend or narrow section of road.
Do not endanger yourself or other road users and avoid mounting the kerb.
Do not brake harshly on approach to a junction or roundabout, as a following vehicle may not have the same view as you.
These small vehicles travel at a maximum speed of eighth miles per hour (12 km/h).
On a dual carriageway where the speed limit exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h) they must have a flashing amber beacon, but on other roads you may not have that advance warning (see rules 36 to 46).
These may need extra road space to turn or to deal with a hazard that you are not able to see.
If you are following a large vehicle, such as a bus or articulated lorry, be aware that the driver may not be able to see you in the mirrors.
Be prepared to stop and wait if it needs room or time to turn.
Large vehicles can block your view. Your ability to see and plan ahead will be improved if you pull back to increase your separation distance.
Be patient, as larger vehicles are subject to lower speed limits than cars and motorcycles. Many large vehicles may be fitted with speed limiting devices which will restrict speed to 56 mph (90 km/h) even on a motorway.
Give priority to these vehicles when you can do so safely, especially when they signal to pull away from stops. Look out for people getting off a bus or tram and crossing the road.
Be careful of electric vehicles such as milk floats and trams. Trams move quickly but silently and cannot steer to avoid you.
These warn of a slow moving or stationary vehicle (such as a Driver and Vehicle Agency vehicle, salt spreader, snow plough or recovery vehicle) or abnormal loads, so approach with caution.

A friend of a woman who took her life stands up to David Sedaris
Bob Collins December 3, 2013, 2:25 PM Dec 3, 2013
The image of David Sedaris, the author and humorist, is taking a significant hit this week as the result of his October New Yorker article about the suicide of his sister.
In her will, Tiffany Sedaris mandated that no one from her family was allowed to attend her memorial service.
Two boxes was all she left, Sedaris suggested in his article.
"So put that in your pipe and smoke it," our mother would have said.
A few days after getting the news, my sister Amy drove to Somerville with a friend and collected two boxes of things from Tiffany's room: family photographs, many of which had been ripped into pieces, comment cards from a neighborhood grocery store, notebooks, receipts. The bed, a mattress on the floor, had been taken away and a large industrial fan had been set up.
Amy snapped some pictures while she was there, and, individually and in groups, those of us left studied them for clues: a paper plate on a dresser that had several drawers missing, a phone number written on a wall, a collection of mop handles, each one a different color, arranged like cattails in a barrel painted green.
But, it seems worth pointing out now, if clues are what the family wanted, why did only Sedaris' sister, Amy, show up at Tiffany's apartment?
Now, a friend of hers, Michael Knoblach, has called out Sedaris in a column of his own in the Somerville (Mass.) Journal.
"Some of her family had been more than decent, loving and kind to her," he writes, suggesting Sedaris, himself, was a callous brother.
"Two lousy boxes" is not Tiffany's legacy. After her sister left with that meager lot, her house was still full of treasures. More than two vanloads of possession were pulled from there and other locations by friends. She was a hoarder of items worthless to most but vitally important to her.
There were fantastic art materials — milk crates of angular rocks (good ones), each crate containing one round stone, which perfectly fits the hand, bearing signs of some form of unorthodox flint knapping to bash and hammer the rocks into shapes she needed; dozens of boxes of antique broken ceramics or stained glass for her mosaics, many dug out of the ground from a hidden 19th Century dump whose location she shared only with me, my favorite broken bit being the bottom part of a piece of green McCoy pottery that now only said, "Coy," (pure Tiffany wit); ephemera; old CDV photos; old letters; fragments of vintage children's books; her collection of antique baleen corsets; an original picture sleeve from the Little Richard 45, "ooh! My soul/true, fine mama;" her antique baby blue high chair, in part covered with ancient happy dolphin decals in which sat a doll, representing her; and an old stuffed rabbit, a rabbit, representing the rabbit she once owned named "Little Sweet Miss Bitsy Who's Its," a.k.a., "Hooos," (the number of ooo's varied with her pronunciation) — she gave the rabbit away when she could no longer afford or manage to feed it/care for it — she had already long since given away her cat, Mister Wonderful; those beautiful, multicolored old vivid lead-paint broom handles David mentioned, which she used to have strung together as a divider between rooms when she had a larger apartment; and the cheap plastic flowers she scattered around her body before taking her life.
And he does, suggesting that Sedaris could've shared some of his fortune from writing and mocking the life of his sister.
"As this holiday season and time of reunions approaches, he wrote, "let this be a warning to others — not every black sheep is a lost sheep and some might come back into the fold with just a little more kind attention or modest financial assistance."
Update 1/31/14 – Sedaris reads his essay on This American Life.
