Sound Design for VR and immersive experiences
Immersive experiences stimulate our senses—they draw us in, transport us to another place, and keep us in the moment. Immersion enhances everyday experiences, making them more realistic, engaging, and satisfying, on all our devices—whether we are playing a video game on our smartphone, video conferencing on our tablet, or watching sports on our virtual reality headset. And we are truly immersed in the experience only when the sound is realistic and matches the visual.
Sound has just as much influence on the way we interpret and feel the world around us as the things we see and touch.
As audiovisual technology continues to advance, consumers are able to be more deeply immersed in experiences than ever before. Immersive experiences herald a new phase of bold experimentation in audience engagement, and sound is essential to bringing the audience "all-in." As our world becomes more digital, brands, entertainers and venues are investing in total-sensory experiences for their customers – and music and sound are critical to making us believe in even the most fantastic ideas.
It is becoming a regular expectation of the headset user that there is going to be a binaural sound field, but there is still a lot to be explored within virtual reality, and sound is going to be playing a huge role within that.
Binaural Sound, or 3D Sound, is necessary to use within virtual reality, because it makes up part of the natural experience. Binaural sound technology creates a richer listening experience. By manipulating audio recordings in post production, the smallest of sounds in each ear can be altered, creating an immersive experience for the listener where they can hear sounds in all directions around them, as if they were present at the time of recording. Reverb is also incredibly important when creating a sound environment. Applying the correct reverb can mean the difference between believing you are actually in the virtual environment, and thinking that something is slightly off, which can break the immersive feeling. Implementing audio for VR has more technical requirements than games due to the frequent use of spatialization plugins and algorithms that enable users to better localize sound sources in the virtual world.
I feel that sound is half the experience. – George Lucas

92% of Google searchers only click Page 1 results. You need to be there.
Search engine optimization (SEO). It is a series on-going efforts to ensure your website ranks high on the results pages of search engines. The majority of people make search requests on Google but Bing, Yahoo and handful of others provide search results. People search for almost anything they're looking for personally and professionally. If your business isn't on the first page of their search, they'll find your competitors.
"Votes" from directories, reviews & social media.
Marketing you're already doing may help increase your rank on Google.
Digital Diva measures the strength of your website against these factors and address any weaknesses so you can climb to the top of Google results.
We synchronize your marketing so it pulls double duty by bringing in new customers and increasing your rank on Google and other search engines. We make sure your marketing works in tandem with the SEO strategy to bring you effective results.
Our philosophy is to build the strength of your website so your business acquires the most leads in your niche by being on page 1 of the search results. All marketing should feed into this strategy to increase the results.
Local SEO drives your website to the top of local Google results listings. Your business requires geographically targeted traffic to reach customers in your market. We put into place the correct location signals so Google and the other search engines use your geographic location when feeding search results listings.
Links from local authoritative websites and keywords are queued for geographic location as well as social media profiles and reviews. Each is synchronized so your website is honing in on your target geographic market.
We check your website's traffic sources to evaluate for accuracy and delivery. Citations and links signal the search engines of your location. Optimizing your presence on Google My Business, Google Plus and Google Places is another powerful signal for geography. The keyword strategy for your website will pair your keywords with location.
Local SEO efforts are focused on building consistent, reliable signals for the search engines. We have some other elements in our internal strategy but these tactics lay the foundation for local SEO. Your website is presented as a powerful local presence and your page rank will increase in local search results.
Search Engine Optimization is used to bring visitors to websites from search engines. It is a series of tactics to make your website more readable, more clearly defined, and best able to match search requests through relevant content, keywords and authoritative links. Search engines use spiders to crawl the internet to "read" and analyze every web page.
Websites that are the best match and highest quality for the search are ranked at the top of the results. Also factored in are how popular and relevant the websites are among hundreds of other variables. The spiders then rank the pages and present them as a list in the search results.
SEO originally focused on page structure to integrate targeted keywords and efforts to acquire massive backlinks. As Google evolved, and caught onto some of these SEO tactics, their ranking factors began to focus on a good user experience.
New SEO focuses on providing a better World Wide Web through content that offers value to the reader, backlinks through relationship building and short and long tail keywords that occur naturally in the content.
Google and the other search engines have their own algorithm to sort search results. They do not share their ranking algorithm with anyone. SEO is a process of preparing your website for when search engines "crawl" your site to understand its content and rank its relevancy, trust and authority.
the quality of the links with sites that show your website can be trusted as an authoritative site.
SEO professionals are guided by the best practice guidelines provided by the search engines and draw from experiences with various techniques. Our goal is to use the most effective practices to get website to rank as high in the search results as possible for as many keyword searches as possible.
The competitiveness of your niche and population of your location play a key role in the timeframe to see ranking changes. Quality SEO work takes time to prepare and to be read by the search engines.
Citations are one of the very first items we will complete. This takes one to three weeks to identify the sources we want to target, get an account set up for you with each source and upload the data. A few prominent sources want to do mail or phone verification. Data aggregators have schedules for uploading external data and then pushing out to directories. Directories have their own schedule for listing updates. And the search engines have their own timetable for crawling.
Results also depend on the competitiveness of your keywords. Ranking for "plumber" will take longer than "plumber disposal repair johns creek" which may only take a month or so.
And results depend on the scope of work to be done. If you are in a competitive niche where a lot of website content is needed, video creation for a video strategy and very specific link connections, it could take months to create all of the assets required and build relationships with those authoritative sites.
Generally, 3 to 6 months is a general timeframe for SEO results to show but we'll offer more specifics when we outline your custom strategy.
SEO techniques implemented on the website itself are referred to as "on-page" optimization.
Keyword targeting is a critical component of SEO and has evolved to include longer keyword tails to search. With growing familiarity with Google, users are more demanding. Now instead of searching for "Italian Restaurant" people search "Italian Restaurant Frutti di Mare".
We conduct comprehensive research to ensure all keywords and phrases are found to build an effective keyword strategy of short and long tail keywords.
We'll analyze your top competitors to identify their keywords, review your current website keywords and use Google Analytics to develop a keyword strategy. We never skimp on due diligence. We seek out keyword variations that get the highest number of searches as well as those with decent traffic but low competition. Effective SEO requires thorough, detailed activity but we know that hard work pays off in SEO. We provide monthly reports on keywords and their ranking changes so we can measure effectiveness.
Google has caught onto stuffing keywords into titles and tags and this is often penalized. Providing rich content that naturally incorporates interesting and searched-for terms provides information of interest to your visitors and demonstrates authority to the search engines. Building rich content and using keywords as a secondary method to confirm headlines is a more natural read for the search engines. And effectively disperses keywords throughout the website.
Google states that content is one of the three top ranking factors for its search results. In-depth content provides a natural path to long tail keywords. Providing useful, relevant content for users is rewarded by the search engines. Read more in our Content section.
A hierarchy is the organization for your website content that includes titles, categories/sub-categories, internal links and keywords using good Information Architecture practices. This helps search engine crawlers and visitors understand your website and find what they are looking for.
The crawler's goal is to find information so they can return it in search results but they must understand what it is first. Search engines can access, crawl, index and return data faster with a strong internal structure.
Effective SEO requires thoroughness and attention to detail. We take the time to ensure every step is undertaken with the highest standards and all work is completed by hand, not by a software program.
Building "votes" to establish your site as authoritative and worthy of high rankings.
No one can promise this. Google's algorithm has over 200 factors and never reveals their algorithm metrics. But our techniques use Google's highest factors for ranking and will give you the best opportunity to get there.
Google Search Results with Paid Ads on top, Map Pack in center and Organic Results underneath.
You'll find the Map Pack in a squared-off section above organic listings. Typically 3 to 5 listings depending on the city and niche, it is highly competitive. Google properties, citations and reviews play a large role in which websites are included.
This is another area in which we'll make sure you compete. We'll give you an assessment of what it will take to get there by looking at your competitors already in the Map Pack. We'll assess their level of SEO strategy engagement to measure what it will take to surpass them.
Google is exploring making one of the placements in the Map Pack paid. We've seen examples of this in the plumbing and HVAC niches in California. Organic listings are the best placement because they occur "naturally" and are highly regarded. There is a place for paid ads and with the right message at the right time, this can have a high rate of return. But you need to have a strong website that converts in place before advertising can achieve its maximum effectiveness.
Whether or not they move in this direction, it only makes organic listings more valuable. All the more reason to give your website a strong foundation to compete.
Google makes hundreds of tweaks to its algorithm each year. Some are major with a significant impact on search results.
In addition to keeping up with Google and other search engine algorithm changes, we also monitor what your competitors are doing to try to outrank you. Additional strategies may be required to compete with a large link strategy or other SEO strategy.
After we've achieved ranking goals, keeping the strength behind that SEO is important to maintaining your rank and maintaining your competitive advantage.
We'll provide an outline of strategies and tactics so you know each month what is being done to increase leads for your business. Monthly reports will track keyword ranking charts as well as other factors relevant to your custom strategy. You can call us anytime for questions. We are business owners ourselves and know the importance of client responsiveness. We do not hold you to a contract so you can choose to discontinue services for any reason. But don't lose your momentum.
We produce quality work and know the success of our outcomes. We think you will be so pleased with the results you'll not only want us to continue working for you but help your friends as well!
SEO techniques implemented off of the website are referred to as "off-page" optimization.
The name, address and phone number (NAP) of your business needs to be listed consistently in as many relevant places as possible on the internet. Think of these listings as "votes" from directories, social media and other informational sources that provide confirmation of your business and its relevancy. Learn more in our Citations section.
Google made a strong statement about the need for quality links to your website with the Penguin update. Websites with spammy links were penalized with lower rankings. Google stated that links are one of three top factors contributing to search ranking results.
We build relationships with quality websites that are educational and informational and are strong backlink sources. A significant amount of time and quality work is needed to contribute articles and blogs relevant to a client's website niche including forum postings and business reviews. We build these relationships so we can provide articles and posts to promote our clients and obtain links for them. Read more in our Authoritative Links section.
Reviews not only influence buying decisions they also signal search engines that your website is active. To have consistent signals moving between your website and the review platforms creates strong links and content which is evaluated during the search engine crawls.
We'll choose different review platforms based on your input and existing review pool. Depending on your niche and competition, we'll set up the most appropriate platforms and integrate any reviews you've already obtained.
We offer an easy to use tool to streamline review management that we can set-up for you.
Site navigation plays an important role in the value search engines place on each page of your site. The more often a page is linked within your website, the more Page Rank flow it has and the higher it will rank in the search engines. We put into place a solid navigation for your site according to Best Practices 2018.
We'll conduct an audit of your website's internal structure to make sure your website is sending the search engines the best signals. We'll be checking for site speed, domain health and broken page links. We may find calibrations our web developer can easily address or if you want your web developer to tackle these issues, we'll communicate with them.


VA Benefits . . .
We, at the Muskingum County Department of Veterans Services provide a vital and convenient link between our veterans and the Department of Veterans Affairs. We are not a branch of the Department of Veterans Affairs and do not approve or deny VA claims. We are legislated by the State of Ohio under the Ohio Revised Code, ORC 5901 and are funded by Muskingum County property taxes.
Our Veterans Services Officers are accredited by the State of Ohio and all are veterans. We work closely with the VA to achieve a common goal, and to assist the veteran in obtaining his/her rightful benefits under the law.
Benefits are available to veterans discharged under honorable conditions, full-time service members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Current and former members of the Selected Reserve and National Guard may be eligible for certain benefits if they meet the criteria.
Pension is a benefit paid to wartime veterans who have limited or no income, and who are age 65 or older, or, if under 65, who are permanently and totally disabled. Veterans who are more seriously disabled may qualify for Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits. These are benefits that are paid in addition to the basic pension rate.
Your countable family income is below a yearly limit set by law (The yearly limit on income is set by Congress), AND you are age 65 or older, OR, you are permanently and totally disabled, not due to your own willful misconduct.
The payment is reduced by the annual income from other sources such as Social Security.
To begin the process, you must establish eligibility by submitting VA Form 22-1990, Application for VA Education Benefits. The toll free number for more information is 1-888-GI-Bill1 or 1-888-442-4551.
Vocational Rehabilitation is a program whose primary function is to help veterans with service-connected disabilities become suitably employed, maintain employment, or achieve independence in daily living.
VA insurance programs were developed to provide insurance benefits for veterans and service members who may not be able to get insurance from private companies because of the extra risks involved in military service, or a service connected disability. The toll free number for more information is 1-800-69-8477.
VA burial allowances are partial reimbursements of an eligible veteran's burial and funeral costs when the eligible criteria are met. When the cause of death is not service related, the reimbursements are generally described as two payments: (1) a burial and funeral expense allowance, and (2) a plot or interment allowance.
Veterans, active duty service members, and eligible Reservists and National Guard service members, are eligible for an inscribed headstone or marker for their grave at any cemetery. VA will deliver a headstone or marker at no cost.
Burial in a VA national cemetery is available for eligible Veterans, their spouses and dependents, at no cost to the family.
We can help you obtain your military discharge documents, DD 214, military service records, military medical records or to get military medals. These documents are filed at the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC), St. Louis, or more recently, are being held at the appropriate military service facility. You can file your own request for these documents on-line by accessing http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/ . You will need to print out the signature page, sign and date, and fax or mail the page to NPRC.
Death Pension is a needs based benefit paid to an unremarried surviving spouse, or an unmarried child of a deceased wartime veteran. The death pension provides a monthly payment to bring an eligible person's income to a level established by law. The payment is reduced by the annual income from other sources such as Social Security.
VA home loan guaranties are issued to help eligible servicemembers, veterans, reservists, and unmarried surviving spouses obtain homes, condominiums, residential cooperative housing units, and manufactured homes and to refinance loans.
In addition to buying homes, a VA guaranty can also be used to obtain a loan to repair, alter, or improve a residence owned by the veteran and occupied as a home and to install a solar heating or cooling system or other energy-efficient improvements.
The first step in acquiring a VA loan guaranty is to apply for a Certificate of Eligibility. You then present this certificate to a lender of your choice. The VA does not make loans.
If you served in the active military, naval or air service and are separated under any condition other than dishonorable, you may qualify for VA health care benefits. Current and former members of the Reserves or National Guard who were called to active duty (other than for training only) by a federal order (Title 10) and completed the full period for which they were called or ordered to active duty may be eligible for VA health care as well.
We are fortunate to have access to a Community Based Outpatient Clinic in Muskingum County. It is located at 2800 Maple Avenue, Zanesville, OH 43701 and its telephone number is 740-453-7725. We encourage all veterans to apply to determine their enrollment eligibility.
Medical and prescription co-pays are based on financial criteria and VA disability ratings.
VA Medical provides mental health counseling at local clinics such as the one in Zanesville, at their medical centers such as the Columbus VA Outpatient Clinic and through Vet Centers. Vet Centers provide individual, group, family, military sexual trauma and bereavement counseling. Services include treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or help with any other military-related issue that affects functioning within the family, work, school or other areas of everyday life.

Q: Why is sys_call_table predictable? In (or after?) 2.4 the sys_call_table symbol was no longer exported to make it harder to hook system calls.
Ignoring that you can still obtain this information from the IDT or by reading /boot/System.map-<kernel-version>, I was wondering why this address seems to be constant across reboots and machines (with the same kernel version)? Is it just not worth making it dynamic? Is there a reason requiring it to be static?
What I am aiming at is this:
sys_call_table is no longer exported to modules in order to make hooking syscalls a little harder, but modules (i.e. kernel-space programs) can still easily get this info from reading System.map or simply guessing based on the kernel release information as the address seems to be identical for all machines running the same version of the kernel.

A: Since at least version 4.8 of the kernel, at least on x86, the kernel address space is randomised, including the system call table's address. See RANDOMIZE_BASE in the kernel configuration for the basic details.
This means that the address given in System.map is useless, and the address of the system call table changes at every boot. If you need to debug something and want to use System.map, you need to boot with the nokaslr kernel command-line parameter to disable KASLR.

A: Try the following:
//Hide the divider
getListView().setDivider(null);

//set the divider height
getListView().setDividerHeight(0);

Or, if you want to do it in XML:
android:divider="@null"
android:dividerHeight="0dp"

Now that you have seen the best DVD duplicators, you must have gained a fair idea of what features to target. Here is a quick summary for you:
Although the best DVD duplicators are usually standalone devices, they may be compatible to work with PCs too. Depending on your application, you can either buy a standalone tower or choose a model that connects with the PC.
Generally, standalone DVD duplicators don't need external software. They have their controller and a user-interface with an LCD. These peripherals are enough to feed instructions and display the required results.
Generally, a good DVD duplicator will support a broader range of disc types such as the DVD-R/RW, blu ray, Mini CDR, etc. Therefore, it's crucial to select the one with a broader range of supported disc types.
If you're buying for commercial purposes, it's best to buy a multiple DVD duplicator. Such DVD duplicators can save much time and energy, especially if you have large orders. For home applications, one to one duplicators is sufficient.
Good DVD duplicators will create copies within a few minutes. Generally, 3 to six minutes is a decent time for duplicating a full DVD. Anything that takes above eight to ten-minutes is not all that efficient.
Often, users find it difficult to copy protected videos with a CD DVD duplicator. There is not a definite YES or NO to this question. It depends on the nature of the DVD that you are trying to copy. For instance, if you wish to create a copy of a protected Blu-ray retail DVD, it's not possible.
The main reason behind this inability to duplicate copy-protected videos is that they are coded to prevent duplication. This protection mechanism is used for the copyright to ensure that the data transfer isn't possible without the owner's consent.
Because duplicating copyrighted CD DVD can be a legal offense, some manufacturers mention that their duplicator does not copy a copy-protected disc. However, if your CD duplicator can copy-protected CD DVD, the procedure can vary according to the duplicator controller specs. In general, there is no standard procedure for it.
DVD copiers come in a variety of price ranges, features, and supported formats. Most of these gadgets support a variety of duplicator software and DVD types. Therefore, it's crucial to know your kind of CD DVD so that you don't end up buying the wrong product.
Thankfully, the list of the best DVD duplicators has the best options. Moreover, you also know what to look for while buying such gadgets. Also, the list of best software should help you according to your preferred operating system. Therefore, it's time to unload your DVD CD shelf and start creating copies of your favorite DVDs.

Sometimes it is difficult to get things done with a Jack Russell Terrier around. I was minding my own business trying to read an e-book when this dog pops into my view.
When she turns her head like this, it only means one thing. My dog needs a neck message.
Okay, this is better. We're no longer at a nose length. She still needs that massage and she isn't letting me forget it. The Nook goes up on the shelf because my services are needed!
What is your dog's favorite place to be massaged? As you can tell, Misha's is her neck. She's pretty clear about what she wants too.
Elaine, I know! Try as we might when they get this up close and personal it is hard not to resist.
What a little sweetheart. In our household, it's Jessie Cat that likes neck rubs. She gets right into it. I like them too. Nice post. Thanks for sharing.
Jeanne, There is something universal about the comfort of a massage. My Lab was different, though. The neck wasn't her spot. She love her ears to be kneaded and gently pulled.
So sweet – love it!

ASIO4ALL : Universal Sound Card Driver with ASIO Interface
May 24, 2017 Trisha
Most of the Windows users who listen to music on their computers just use the official device drivers provided by the device manufacturers like Realtek or HP etc. While these are great, they are not as good as the ASIO4ALL – a universal sound card driver for all the WDM audio devices. Since almost all the computers manufactured after the Windows XP era have some sort of in-built WDM sound card, it works with all of these computers. The only computers it might not work with are from 90's (the ones running Windows 95/98 and Windows Me) and are perhaps already recycled.
ASIO4ALL uses the ASIO (Audio Stream Input/Output) interface to access the audio hardware directly which means that any latency that was being caused due to the regular audio device drivers is totally eliminated. But it is not like a regular audio device driver – it works only with the applications that support ASIO interface. For example, if you play an MP3 file using Windows Media Player (that does not support ASIO), then it will be played through your regular audio device driver. But if you use an application like Foobar2000 and configure it to use ASIO, only then the MP3 files will be played through the ASIO4ALL driver.
In fact, after you install ASIO4ALL in your Windows PC, you won't notice anything at all. It is only when you start playing music (or recording sound) through the ASIO interface, you will see the small green or red icon in the system tray of Windows taskbar. You can click on this icon to view the ASIO4ALL settings window. From this settings window, you can change the ASIO buffer size (default is 512 samples), change latency compensation settings, allow resampling of the audio data, and view the WDM audio device list for which ASIO4ALL is being used.
Conclusion: ASIO4ALL is universal device driver for all the sound cards and provides you high fidelity and latency free playback of your music. But it works only with the ASIO enabled applications like Foobar2000.
You can download ASIO4ALL from http://www.asio4all.com/.

The plan for Day 5 was three shows in one day, but circumstances only worked out for one. Instead, we also got to have an early meal with friends and saw a treasure trove of old lucha magazines and matches. Wish you were here, but hopefully getting to hear a little about it allows you to see a bit of what we did.
Important warning: no chance of Lucha Tuesday videos tomorrow. Videos will go up, but it'll be Thursday/Friday or I'll just hold it over for a double issue next week.


ELLSWORTH AIR FORCE BASE, S.D. -- In a fast-paced environment where individuals juggle work schedules and family obligations, distractions often lead drivers into making risky decisions while on the road.
"Immediately, most people think of cellphone use when talking about distracted driving," said Staff Sgt. Kenneth Hill, 28th Bomb Wing ground safety technician. "It's not just texting or making phone calls while driving. It's anything that averts a driver's attention from the road that can put them, their passengers [or anyone else] at risk."
Daydreaming, eating and reading are a few ways individuals can become distracted, unnecessarily putting themselves and passengers in harm's way.
Even though the 28th Security Forces Squadron and the dedicate personnel and resources to putting a stop to such reckless behavior, the base still has violators to watch out for and consequences that come with violating traffic laws.
"One distraction would be, of course, texting and driving or talking on the phone without a hands-free device," Hill said.
For anyone who operates a motor vehicle off-base while using a handheld electronic device to write, send or read text messages can be charged with a petty offense and a fine of $100.
The law does not apply to individuals who are lawfully parked, trying to contact 911, or using voice operated or hands-free technology.
"As far as on-base, I know the first offense of using a cell phone while driving is three points deducted from your driver's license and a warning about your driving privileges getting suspended," Hill said.
The punishments do not stop there. A second offense will earn Airmen an additional three points deducted from their driving record and a 30-day suspension from driving on the installation.
The third offense results in on-base driving privileges being revoked for one year and another three points deducted from their record.
Some consequences are more than just fines, point deductions or driver's license suspensions. Sometimes, lives are lost.
"People need to be defensive drivers while out traveling," Hill said. "You may be doing everything correct and abiding by the law but that doesn't mean the individual beside you or in the oncoming lane is."
In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least 3,300 drivers are killed annually from distracted driving while another 424,000 are injured each year.
Fortunately, Ellsworth has not experienced the loss of an Airman from a distracted driving accident, in part, because every individual has the power to help prevent distracted driving, Hill said.
"If you have children, make sure they are properly secured, and have everything they need prior to departing." Hill said. "Secure your pets properly so they aren't running around in the car, and that your radio and climate control is set prior to leaving. Also, while driving, don't answer your phone if you aren't using a hands free device. Let the call go to voicemail until you arrive at your destination to return the call."
Safety precautions are essential to preventing future accidents. If the call or message is that important, take the nearest exit or turn into the next parking lot and avoid a potentially dangerous situation.

Hi everyone!! Im new to this site!! I own 8 acres in ct in land zone 5. My question is. Can i bow hunt deer on my land with out a hunting license?
No. Only landowners with 10 or more acres may hunt deer or turkeys with landowners permits. Less than 10 acres, you need license which comes with 4 tags and small game. And for gun season, you still need private land tags, but don't need written permission on your own land.
Can you hunt firearms on 8 acres? I thought there was a minimum.
For rifle 10 or more acres is required.
Shotguns and muzzleloaders are ok. 10 acre min for rifles.
I knew there was some kind of minimum. Thanks for clarifing.

Q: How to add program to users program menu in VS2022 Installer projects? How do I add a program to my target user's program menu using Visual Studio 2022 setup project? Any way to do it would be great.

A: Assuming you want a shortcut to a program that is part of the installer package (most likely in the "Application Folder"), then you can use the following steps:

*

*Open the "File System" view for your installer project (right-click on the project in Solution Explorer and select the "View -> File System" command from the pop-up menu).

*Select the "User's Programs Menu" in the left-hand pane of that view, then right-click anywhere in the right-hand pane; you should then see a pop-up menu with a "Create New Shortcut" command (similar to that shown below)

*Select this command; then, in the dialog box that follows, navigate to the target (executable) for the shortcut and click "OK". A shortcut to that item will then appear in the right-hand pane of your File System View, which you can rename as with any other file in Windows.

To add an icon for the shortcut, select that new item in the right-hand pane and then, in the "Properties" window, select "Browse" from the "Icon" property. You can browse for an icon in the target file system – but note that, by default, only "*.ico" files are shown; you need to select "All Files" or "Executable Files" in the pop-up dialog if you want to find the target program and use that file's default (i.e. lowest ID number) icon.

The hour was between four and five, a desperate and hazy time in the Pleasure Dome. Too late to go swimming again, to venture out into the softplay land, or even to trek back to the holiday cottage, a good 15 minutes' distant, across the windswept plain. Yet also too early to go for dinner, though I noted with concern that the queue at the burger place was already swelling.
In the Pleasure Dome, nothing is as it seems. The trees are plastic, the rocks are fibreglass, and the fun never ends. But in the Pleasure Dome, everything is also precisely as it seems, incessantly, all the time. The lord of this place makes no attempt to trick you. It is all very obvious. If you have been made a fool of, it is because you have fooled yourself.
The hour was between four and five. My children were restless from their exertions in the swimming area. Wave pool, death slide, white water, too deep, almost drowning, stand on tiptoes, taste of chlorine, nothing but bodies, everything so hazy and blue.
"Look," I said. "It is the Monky Wonky Show." A stage, perhaps a bit dingy, but parents sitting on benches and children on the floor before them. "And it is starting in just 20 minutes. After it is done, it will be time to eat."
"OK," said Finn, who led his little sister down to the front, though not too close to the stage.
"I will stand here and watch," I called out after them, looking at my phone.
The benches and floor seating began to fill up, as the stated hour approached. Then, with little fanfare but with more grandeur than most could have mustered, Mr Plush stepped onto the stage, enormous gold shoes shining, baseball cap pushed back, just jauntily enough. "I am Mr Plush," he said, "uncle to all children at the Pleasure Dome."
The Pleasure Dome is that kind of place.
"We like to begin the Monky Wonky Children's Show by collecting your dummies. If you want to give your dummy to Monky Wonky, please do so now." Mr Plush, who is a practitioner of magic, pulled out a tremendous vine of pacifiers, sucked on and enjoyed by perhaps hundreds of children, now disused, sullen and dull, unwanted, discarded, part of Monky Wonky's hoard. "Please give your dummies to Monky Wonky now."
And how I had not seen it before, I do not know. Perhaps it was Mr Plush's artful distraction. But looming behind him was an enormous monkey, fuzzy, long limbed, yet strangely stiff. Monky Wonky. Our host, our benefactor, lord of this place. He held out his hands, palms up, waiting to receive the pacifiers, as Mr Plush pranced about, the court fool, seeking to draw dummies from out the mouths of babes.
None materialised. No tiny hands reached out to touch Monky Wonky's giant hands, to gift him the emblems of their early childhoods. Perhaps all the children were content to remain babies a bit longer or were already too old for this. Or perhaps Monky Wonky's authority had begun to wane. He did not speak. He did not look at the children. He just stood there, waiting for that which was his due.
Mr Plush and Monky Wonky retreated wordlessly backstage.
When they returned a few minutes' later, it was to sing a song. "You can find the words on YouTube," Mr Plush said. They were accompanied by Monky Girl, who I took to be Monky Wonky's wife. There was no obvious affection between them. Not once did Monky Wonky reach out his hand to touch hers, or the other way around, no shy glances, no tender monkerly caress. They remained always staring forward, with Mr Plush between them, whether ministrating for them or pulling their strings, I no longer knew.
Although Monky Wonky and Monky Girl appeared to be singing, it seemed to me that their voices came from elsewhere, a faraway place, in the back of my mind, or possibly just from the speakers above our heads. The song proclaimed their dominion over the entire Pleasure Dome, but also that the Pleasure Dome existed for the children. I wondered, really, how Monky Wonky felt about this. Was he a figurehead? Is this what he wanted? Had it been his plan all along to build the Pleasure Dome and then pass it on to the children once they were ready? Once he was no longer needed.
Mr Plush was smiling, always smiling.
The show continued, the songs were sung, the jokes were made, and at last it was time for the children to come up and greet Monky Wonky. Monky Girl went back behind the curtain, while Monky Wonky stood there onstage, not quite alone – for there was Mr Plush and then all the children – but it seemed to me forlorn. He stood looking straight ahead, as ever, a kind of fuzzy nobility, the largest monkey in all the world, reduced to this, in his own Pleasure Dome.
Finally it was the turn of my children. They were near the end. Only one other little girl remained beside them, and what she truly desired, I could not say, for she never did approach Monky Wonky. Mr Plush stood to the side, so as not to appear in the photos or be implicated in the crime.
"Go on up," I said.
My children went to Monky Wonky. He stretched out his arms. For all that he had sung before, he was silent now. Monky Wonky seemed not to know where to look. His eyes were plastic. My children hugged him from either side. My son smiled for the camera, but my daughter's face was buried in Monky Wonky's overalls, which were stitched directly into his fur.
"Look at me, Lena," I said.
She looked at me. I took a picture.
Monky Wonky looked in my direction, after my voice, but also through me, past the masonry pillars, past the shops and swimming pools and burger places, through the walls of the Pleasure Dome, out beyond the holiday cottages and the little field with the goats, even past the ferry terminal, settling in the cold dark February sea, where he might at last be alone, out of the noise, out of the performance, out of responsibility, though perhaps a bit wet.
"Say goodbye to Monky Wonky," I said.
The children ran down to me without saying goodbye. Mr Plush departed the stage. Monky Wonky stood there a moment longer, lingering in the spotlights. Then he turned and left.
I never saw Monky Wonky again.
But I often think of him.

We have 3 dogs and a 6 month pup. I just adopted a 9 week old pup last week and she has kennel cough. All our dogs vaccines are up to date but they never had that shot. We never go anywhere because we have them. Pup just has little gag, so I took her to vet . He put her on Cephalexin 250mg a day. If I get my dogs shots for that tomorrow will it help?
Kennel Cough is like the common cold or flu in humans, there are so many different strains of the virus that a vaccine can only cover the most common and it is still possible for a vaccinated individual to catch a strain.
Vaccines work by causing the body to create antibodies against a certain pathogen (in this case: strain(s) of kennel cough). These antibodies then recognize and destroy the virus when it tries to infect the individual. It takes two weeks or more for a dog's body to produce sufficient numbers of an antibody to fight off an infection, for that reason, giving a vaccine following exposure will not prevent infection and in some cases can make it worse as the body is now trying to produce antibodies against the actual infection AND against whatever the vaccine is for.
If your dogs have all been exposed, a vaccine will not do them any good. Your best bet is to practice quarantine of the infected pup from your other dogs and thoroughly clean any area of your home where the pup has been. Also practice quarantine of your dogs from other dogs for at least 5-10 days after the LAST dog has shown any symptoms and/or finished your vet's recommended treatment… you don't want to be like that parent who sends a sick kid to daycare and infects everyone in the neighborhood with the stomach flu.
Talk to your vet about your concerns, and consider adding Corona to their next 5/7-Way booster and the intranasal Bordatella vaccine to their bi-annual check-ups as their "flu shot equivalent" in the future.
if they havent been vaccinated for kennel cough then it is likely they will get it too. You can ask the vet for the nasal spray vaccine as it takes affect a little quicker, but you should get your other pups checked out by a vet soon just to be safe.
I would call the vet back up and ask. You already paid the vet so get your money's worth. My vet would answer my question if I called.

South Sudan: A New History for a New Nation
Douglas H. Johnson
Juba · South Sudan
Africa's newest nation has a long history. Often considered remote and isolated from the rest of Africa, and usually associated with the violence of slavery and civil war, South Sudan has been an arena for a complex mixing of peoples, languages, and beliefs. The nation's diversity is both its strength and a challenge as its people attempt to overcome the legacy of decades of war to build a new economic, political, and national future.
Most recent studies of South Sudan's history have a foreshortened sense of the past, focusing on current political issues, the recently ended civil war, or the ongoing conflicts within the country and along its border with Sudan. This brief but substantial overview of South Sudan's longue durée, by one of the world's foremost experts on the region, answers the need for a current, accessible book on this important country.
Drawing on recent advances in the archaeology of the Nile Valley, new fieldwork as well as classic ethnography, and local and foreign archives, Johnson recovers South Sudan's place in African history and challenges the stereotypes imposed on its peoples.

Missouri House proposes putting telehealth allowances into law
April 4, 2016 By [email protected]
The state House has again proposed allowing more medical care to be conducted remotely.
Representative Jay Barnes (photo courtesy; Tim Bommel, Missouri House Communications)
The legislation would create in Missouri law a definition of telehealth services and lay out when a doctor can provide services through video conferencing, or by the electronic transfer of a patient's medical records and other data. It would also allow for Medicaid reimbursement for those services.
The bill passed the House with only one "no" vote. Representative Kip Kendrick (D- Columbia) said it might be the best bill the House handles this year.
"The gold standard in medical care will always be the in-patient visits, but telehealth services can be used as a great way to extend access to healthcare and also reduce cost of healthcare," said Kendrick.
Representative Keith Frederick (R-Rolla), a practicing orthopedic surgeon, said telehealth makes it easier for doctors to talk to each other about a diagnosis.
"All of the pertinent information can be gathered into a data file, perhaps with a video of the examination of the patient, and the MRI and all the other pertinent details, the labwork, etcetera, and then that can be presented to the remote consultant," said Frederick.
The bill's sponsor, Representative Jay Barnes (R-Jefferson City), said among other things telehealth services could cut down on re-hospitalizations.
"The patient could go home from the hospital, be equipped with a device for a certain period of time where a doctor could have the opportunity to check in with them at home without them having to get in a cab and have Medicaid pay for the cab to get them back to the hospital," said Barnes.
A similar bill passed out of the House last year but did not reach the full Senate. Barnes said after last session, some in the healthcare community approached him saying that there was nothing in Missouri law to explicitly authorize use of telehealth.
He said the bill also includes provisions meant to protect patients.
"The provider has to be licensed to practice in Missouri, and the second is that they have the same standard of care as a doctor does in a phyisical setting," said Barnes.
Barnes said 41 other states already have laws or rules defining when a doctor can provide services through video conferencing or share medical records electronically.

Ital, also spelled I-tal (), is food often celebrated by those in the Rastafari movement. It is compulsory in the Nyabinghi mansion though not in the Twelve Tribes of Israel or Remi mansions. The word derives from the English word "vital", with the initial "v" removed. This is done to many words in the Rastafari vocabulary to signify the unity of the speaker with all of nature. The expression of Ital eating varies widely from Rasta to Rasta, and there are few universal rules of Ital living.
The primary goal of adhering to an Ital diet is to increase Livity, or the life energy that Rastafari generally believe lives within all human beings, as conferred from the Almighty. A common tenet of Rastafari beliefs is the sharing of a central Livity among living things, and what is put into one's body should enhance Livity rather than reduce it. Though there are different interpretations of ital regarding specific foods, the general principle is that food should be natural, or pure, and from the earth; Rastafari therefore often avoid food which is chemically modified or contains artificial additives (e.g., colour, flavourings, and preservatives). Some also avoid added salt in foods, especially salt with the artificial addition of iodine, while pure sea or kosher salt is eaten by some. In strict interpretations, foods that have been produced using chemicals such as pesticides and fertilizer are not considered ital. Early adherents adopted their dietary laws based on their interpretation of several books of the Bible, including the Book of Genesis ("Then God said, "I give you every Seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food." (Genesis 1:29)), the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Along with growing dreadlocks and the sacramental smoking of ganja, observing a vegetarian diet is one of the practices early Rastafari adopted from Indian indentured servants living in Jamaica. Rastafari's founder Leonard Howell, affectionately called "Gong" and "Gyangunguru Maragh", though not of Indian descent, was fascinated with Hindu practices and was instrumental in promoting a plant-based diet in the Rastafari community of Pinnacle.


Have you ever wanted to study how different subsets of your users behave over time? For example, ever wondered if users who register during a promo period have a higher average lifetime revenue than those who don't? If the answer is 'Yes!', then the Cohort Report Builder is the perfect tool for you. Magento BI is specifically optimized to perform this analysis and make it relevant to your business.
Cohort analysis can be broadly defined as the analysis of user groups that share similar characteristics over their life cycles. It allows you to identify behavioral trends across different user groups.
For a more in-depth primer on cohort analysis, take a look here - we wrote the site on it!
In your Magento BI dashboard, it's easy to create user cohorts based on a cohort date and a metric in your account.
Well, why is cohort analysis important?
As mentioned above, cohort analysis allows you to identify behavioral trends among different user groups. With a solid understanding of how certain groups behave, you can tailor your decisions and spending to maximize your sales. Take, for example, a lifetime revenue cohort analysis - while this kind of analysis is beneficial for many reasons, the immediate one is better customer acquisition decisions.
How do I create my own cohort analysis?
These are the instructions for using the Cohort Report Builder on the New Architecture.
Click Report Builder on the left tab or Add Report > Create Report in any dashboard.
In the Report Builder selection screen, click Create Report next to the Visual Report Builder option.
Now that we're in the Report Builder, let's add the metric that we want to perform the analysis on (ex. Revenue or Orders).
Note: Native Google Analytics metrics aren't compatible with the Cohort Report Builder. We recommend you reach out to support if you're trying to do this so we can help you brainstorm a solution.
This opens up a new window where we can configure the details of the Cohort Report.
Cohorts are grouped together by a timestamp, like registration date or first order date.
Note that you cannot use the same timestamp that the metric is built on for the cohort date. For an analysis that requires this, you can use the Standard report builder instead.
These parameters help you view only the cohorts that you are interested in, and the handy Preview box at the bottom of the window shows you exactly what cohorts will be displayed in your report.
By default, the current cohort will not be included unless you change the minimum amount of data required for each cohort to zero. In this case, the cohort for the current time period will include only partial data.
This feature allows you to set the time range of data that you view for the selected cohorts. For example, if you want to view 24 monthly cohorts based on customer's first order date, but you are only interested in the first 3 months of data for each cohort, you can set the number of cohorts to view to 24 and the time range after cohort occurrence to 3.
The interval for this value changes with whatever you selected in the cohort time period and the value is set to 12 by default; the value will not change unless you click on the calendar icon to edit it.
Here's an example to pull it all together. In this example, I want to check out order behavior after a cohort's first purchase to see if that cohort is coming back to make repeat purchases in the next 6 months.
Below are instructions specific to the legacy version of the Cohort Report Builder. If you are interested in using the new version, click here for more information about migrating to a Magento BI New Architecture account.
Cohort analysis in action! Here, we can see revenue growing over time on a cumulative and per-user basis.
In this section, we'll walk you through creating your own cohort analysis. For examples (and animated GIFs demonstrating the process), take a look at the Examples section of this article.
In the Report Builder Selection screen, click Create Report next to the Cohort Analysis option.
Now that we're in the Cohort Report Builder, let's add the metric (ex: Revenue or Number of orders) that we want to perform the analysis on.
The next step is to specify the cohort date. This is the date by which your users will be grouped. For example, this might be User's first order date or User's registration date.
Please note that you cannot use the same date the metric is built on (ex: created at) as the cohort date.
Next, we'll set the Interval and Time Period.
The Interval option allows you to set the length of your cohorts. For example, if this is set to Month, your report will be measured in months.
You can change how these intervals are displayed on the x-axis using the Duration menu.
Use the Time Period menu to choose the specific user cohorts to analyze. You can show every cohort, choose from a list, specify a time range, or define a rolling time range of cohorts to include.
If we were grouping our cohorts by registration date and then selected April, May, and June in the Specific Cohorts list, any users who registered in those months would be included.
Under duration, you can define the chart's x-axis settings - that is, how many time periods each data point represents and how many data points to include in the analysis.
Let's look at an example to understand this setting. Suppose you built a report cohorting a Revenue metric by Customer's registration date. You also wanted to use the perspective Average value per cohort member to see the revenue per buyer over time. To find the average value per buyer, we need to decide on the number of buyers to divide by. Is it the number of registered customers in your customers table, or is it the number of distinct buyers in your orders table for the same period of time?
This setting answers that question. Counting members in the customers table includes all customers (whether or not they made a purchase, ever) in the average. Counting members in the orders table includes only customers who made a purchase.
After you've defined the metric and how you want to analyze it, you can select the perspective you want to use.
Just above the report visualization is a drop-down of perspective settings.
Now that we've gone through how to create a cohort analysis, let's take a look at some examples.
I want to know how my user cohorts are growing over time.
In this example, we analyzed the Revenue metric, grouped our cohorts by the customer's first order date, and selected the 8 most recent cohorts (defined in the Time Period menu) to include in the analysis. To see how the cohorts grew over time, we used the Cumulative Average Value per Cohort Member perspective.
I want to know, on average, how many orders a user makes at different points in their lifetime.
For this example, we analyzed the Number of orders metric, grouped our cohorts by the customer's first order date, and included the 8 most recent cohorts (defined in the Time Period menu) in the analysis. To see the average number of orders for each cohort, we changed the perspective to Average Value per Cohort Member.
I want to understand how a user's future purchasing activity compares to their first month's activity with the business.
This shows the incremental contribution of a given cohort group at any given point in their life-cycle. (e.g.The "Week 6" point displays all data points made by users in their sixth week).
This divides the Standard cohort analysis in (1) by the number of users in each cohort group. This can be useful for comparing cohort performances on an apples-to-apples basis, as not all cohort groups may include the same number of users. For example, the average week 6 revenue per user from a certain cohort.
This perspective shows the traditional cohort analysis on a cumulative basis. In other words, it shows the total contribution of a given cohort to date at any given point in their life cycle. For example, the cumulative revenue after 6 weeks of users from a certain cohort.
This divides the Cumulative analysis in (3) by the number of users in each cohort group. It shows the average lifetime contribution (often average lifetime revenue) per cohort member at each period in the cohort's life. For example, the average lifetime revenue after 6 months of users that joined in June.
This analyzes the aggregate cohort contribution at a specific time in a cohort's life cycle as a percentage of their contribution in the first period. For example, the month 6 revenue divided by the month 1 revenue of users that joined in June.
This is the same as the perspective above, except that the first time period value of 100% is hidden.
The Cohort Builder is currently optimized for grouping users by a common cohort date. You might be interested in grouping the users by a similar activity or attribute - if that's the case, we would love to help! We recommend checking out this tutorial on qualitative cohorts to get started.
