There is a website run by the BBC that is probably the most accurate way of working out the typical rent and how much you might be able to afford if they would need to rely on benefits to pay all or part of their rent.
Think about any towns or cities that you might be interested to live in. Is there anywhere where relatives or friends of the family currently live?
– It is quite easy to use so don't worry.
This website will let you know what the weekly amount you might be able to get in benefit towards the rent for size of the household looking to rent. You need to take this weekly amount and x it by 4 to give you a monthly benefit rent figure. Then put this monthly figure into box on the BBC website where it asks you how much can you afford to pay in rent per month.
Press submit and this will show you on a map the market rents for the size of property you need compared to how much you might be able to obtain in benefits to pay for the rent. A lot of areas will be unaffordable so 'hold' the mouse over a lot of areas on the interactive map and it will come up with the average monthly market rent so you can compare this to what you typically might be able to afford with the help of the benefit rent figure.
Make a list of the areas where you might want to consider living and contact your case officer or the housing options team on 0800 694 0280. We might be able to help you to look for accommodation in these areas.

Livr social network only allows users to login if they're drunk, using a breathalyser
Luke Edwards · 7 March 2014
Best iPhone apps 2020: The ultimate guide
Just when you thought social networks couldn't find originality anymore along comes Livr. This social network uses a smartphone breathalyser attachment and only allows you to login when you're drinking.
Of course, in spite of the great idea and inspired name, this may face issues about responsible drinking. A Facebook drinking game was pulled a while back after someone died playing it.
Unlike other social apps Livr aims to help people have a good time without the worry of being publicly exposed. Everything stays within the app to share with fellow drinkers, and if it all gets a bit too messy there's a Blackout button to reset everything as if you were never there. Or if it was a good night there's a "Send morning after report" option to share with others.
Once in the app there are various sociable games on offer. Truth or Dare allows people to set dares and also take part in carrying them out. Presumably this involves video or photographic evidence. Drunk Dial is exactly that and randomly connects you to another user for chat. Then there's Hot Spots which shows areas on a map that have drinkers with circles darkening in colour depending on how drunk they are. Finally there is a section for drinks deals in the nearby area and after hours places that are still serving.
The app is due to be released in the spring. Whether it will be free or not isn't clear but presumably you'll need to buy the breathalyser. Livr will be available for Android and iOS.

The key to successful writing for TV and radio is learning to write to a specific brief, and to modify storylines, scenes and characters to work within budgetary and filming restrictions. Important skills are learning to accept feedback and collaborating with other members of the production team. The Drama and Comedy Writing Online Diploma is designed to tap into your creativity and is based in "Active Learning". Most of the actual learning takes place within your own activities – that is, writing! You will learn by doing. Completing this project will increase your confidence in your ideas and abilities, and you'll feel prepared to pitch your first script and get started on your next.
Could I Write For TV?
The fact is, someone has to – because the TV networks need a constant and never-ending supply of new shows…
Okay, so your next question will most likely be:
Can I Get In On Writing For TV?
And the answer is: of course you can, if you sign up NOW for my latest Academy writing course:
Writing Successful Drama and Comedy for TV Networks!
First off, let's see if you have what's needed to write for TV:
Do you have…
A fertile imagination
A need to communicate in writing to the masses
The ability to tell a compelling story (I can teach you that!)
Information on how to pitch to Networks & TV Producers (I got that covered for you too!)
Expert knowledge about the 'rules' of TV writing…
Now, this is where I come into my own.
In case you don't know me, I'm Rob Parnell, considered by many online sources (including Google and Wikipedia) and various personalities to be the first and last authority on writing, self-motivation and personal creativity.
I have created over 110 published books, courses, books and information resources, many of which have been translated into foreign languages. I am often described by friends, family and students as an 'over-achiever'!
For the last decade, I have been increasingly drawn to the visual media. As a writer, I've worked with Hollywood producers, been intimately involved with some very exciting film and TV projects and, best of all, been paid a small fortune by production companies and media funding bodies to learn and hone my screenwriting abilities.
So much so that we've recently formed our own production company, R&R Books Film Music, just to deal with the legal and logistics that tend to surround working within the visual media.
I Can Teach You How to Write for TV
The television industry has its own rules – rules that are not generally broadcast (no pun intended) to the general public. In order to compete as a TV writer, you need someone on the inside – like me – to help you.
I have so much information to share with you about writing for TV, I want to invite you on a journey into the world of television.
It's actually relatively easy to meet with producers and TV network executives – there's a good reason for this, which I'll teach you later (in the first module, immediately on sign-up!) But the hard part is presenting yourself and your material to the TV industry in exactly the right way.
Because, unless you follow the TV industry protocols – and major things like the way you format documents – you don't stand a chance.
Yes, even something as seemingly innocuous as the way a script and a TV program proposal looks is enormously important. More than that, your material has to look exactly right, or you won't get a serious look in.
But, don't worry, my friend, I can teach you everything you need to know about writing for TV.
In the SIX VALUABLE LESSONS, you will learn:
Module One: Introduction to Writing for TV
A thorough analysis of the genre, how it works, how we got to where we are now and where we are heading in TVLand. Insights into successful writers, execs and producers in the TV world, past, present and future. How TV has changed in the last few years – and why the industry now welcomes new writers, ideas people and independent producers, directors and even web-based media individuals (like you!) Also, crucial clues as to how to quickly familiarize yourself with TV trends, including up to the minute insider tips on how to seem like a TV expert (without doing much work!)
Module Two: Your Ideas & How to Present Them
Curiously, one of the last questions you'll be asked in TV is whether you can actually write. You can go a long way with a good TV drama or comedy pitch without writing anything but a proposal. In this module I teach you the exact format you need to present your ideas. I'll also show you how to go about contacting people within the TV industry. It doesn't matter if you're shy or nervous – there are effective ways around these things. This module includes case studies and examples. I'll also teach you exactly how to brainstorm ideas like a professional so that you never have to want for inspiration again!
Module Three: What's Different About TV Writing?
As any writer knows, good stories come out of great characters in interesting scenarios. Once you've had a good idea, how do you develop that for TV? What are the rules that are specific to the audiovisual media? I'll teach you the subtle differences and we'll go over some of more familiar aspects of story telling that still apply to writing for the small screen – things like character development, story arc, long term serial considerations and other TV genre specific musts. Here we'll also investigate 'pushing the envelope' with regards to time-slot, moral correctness, network politics and social responsibility.
Module Four: Scripting, Editing and The Story Bible
A TV script is formatted differently from a movie script – and ne'er the twain shall meet! There are rules on timing and pacing (read: ad breaks) that you absolutely must understand and incorporate into your screenplays when writing for TV. I'll explain how professional script editors work too – and why you'll never get all of your words onscreen. Plus, we investigate the 'Story Bible'. How to write and create the basis of your TV series, so that you don't have to write every script – if you were ever allowed to do such a thing anyway! Module includes actual TV templates you can adapt for your own use.
Module Five: A Special Masterclass on Comedy Writing
Often considered the most difficult, demanding, yet rewarding of all the TV genres. In fact, to those in the know, Comedy writing has long been essentially formulaic and really not that difficult to understand and/or emulate. In this very special, first for the Net, Masterclass, I will teach you everything you need to know about comedy writing, from how to write funny sketches to a long-running comedy series. By the end of this module, you'll know how those writers achieve seemingly effortless comedy following just a few simple rules.
Module Six: The Money & How You Get PAID
As the famous TV series tells us, despite all the creativity in the world, it's the Dirty Sexy Money we're ultimately after. In this module, I explain how writers get paid for TV work – which is surprisingly often, even when your work doesn't appear on TV – and how much you can expect to make. I explain how TV gets funded, where the money comes from, who and why gets paid when, and how to negotiate deals where you get paid lots of money BEFORE everyone else and AFTER, again and again. This module also includes market listings and tips on how to start and maintain a lucrative TV writing career.

The IRS has introduced new cost of living adjustments to the federal estate and gift tax exemption someone can use over their lifetime. The new federal estate and gift tax exemption will be $5.49 million dollars in 2017. This is an increase from the prior exemption of $5.45 million for 2016. As a result, an additional $40,000.00 can be passed on by gift or in your estate, tax free starting in 2017.
Unfortunately, the annual tax free gift exclusion amount stays at the same level at a total of $14,000.00 (this amount has been in place since 2013). This is the annual dollar amount of gifts that can be given to an individual without counting toward the lifetime consolidated exemption of $5.49 million for 2017. As a result, each year you can give up to $14,000.00 to an individual using the annual gift tax exclusion (in fact a married couple can each give the $14,000.00 – totaling $28,000.00 for each calendar year). These gifts will not count towards your lifetime exemption amount for the Federal Estate tax.
Estate taxes are becoming less relevant to the majority of Americans due to the "permanent" fix that was provided by the federal government a few years ago. The estate tax simply does not impact the vast majority of people. Additionally, the Tennessee inheritance tax is now abolished in Tennessee for any person who dies in 2016 or later. It simply does not exist any longer. So there are no separate considerations needed to handle any Tennessee inheritance tax.


When applying for a planning permit associated with a proposed licensed venue, some Councils in Victoria require certain information in order to properly assess your application against the relevant planning scheme and other controls in their particular area. To ensure that your application is processed in the shortest possible time frame, it is important to include all required information specific to your local government authority.
Some Council's in Victoria, including (but not limited to) the cities of Stonnington, Yarra, Moonee Valley, Monash and Greater Dandenong require you to lodge a 'Noise and Amenity Action Plan'.
What is a Noise and Amenity Action Plan?
A Noise and Amenity Action Plan is a written document which describes, in detail, the potential noise and amenity impacts the could result from the inception of a proposed licensed venue in a particular area. The plan also describes actions which can be taken to reduce any negative impacts resulting from the proposal.
What is included in a Noise and Amenity Action Plan?

Last week in Rome 150 nuns from the Catholic Benedictine order met for their four-yearly congress.
They assembled at the Sant' Anselmo Monastery on the Aventine hill above the ancient ruins of the Colosseum and the Forum.
Also meeting in the monastery were leaders from some of the world's major fishing nations, members of the International Coalition of Fisheries Associations (ICFA).
The Benedictines pride themselves on their fellowship and thus it came to pass that the less than saintly fisheries representatives were guests at an ample lunch in a sea of black and white habits.
The ICFA annual meeting, always held in this monastery before a second day with fisheries officials at the nearby United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation, was attended by the US, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, France, UK, Spain, Denmark and New Zealand.
Fisheries are complex, confronted by many issues.
Topics covered included fisheries management on the high seas, curbing illegal and unreported fishing, the status of world fisheries stocks, seafood marketing and consumption, individual country reports, protection of endangered species, plastics pollution, science and research, development of the blue economy, growth of aquaculture and improved communications.
There is increased emphasis on the need to defend fisheries' interests in the face of determined opponents and better communicate the many success stories and importance of the sector in food production and economic contribution.
"Scientists think in stocks, communicators think in people," the US National Fisheries Institute head John Connelly said.
In that vein New Zealand produces about two billion seafood meals a year, which resonates much more than statistics on tonnages and species and stocks.
Global fish production peaked at about 171 million tonnes in 2016, with aquaculture providing 47 percent of the total.
The fast growing Alaska pollock is the top caught species.
The seafood sector employs 60 million people worldwide.
Consumption of fish has grown from an average of 9kg per person in 1961 to about 20.5 kg today.
"In general, fisheries are managed well but that is not the public perception," Connelly said.
Governments are often not effective advocates.
The growth of third party certification of fisheries, driven by consumer demand, is in part an indictment of governments' governance.
FAO fisheries and aquaculture division director Prof Manuel Barange said the aim of all the world's fishing stocks being sustainably caught by 2020 would not be achieved.
But Marine Protected Areas were "a very poor method to sustain fish stocks - you need to consider the social and economic impacts as well".
He believes the public is very confused when talking about fishing and aims to change that.
Fifty eight percent of the world's fisheries are sustainably managed, according to the FAO's just released two-yearly voluminous report on the state of world fisheries and aquaculture.
New Zealand sits squarely within that category.
The international outlook is for stable wild fish capture, reduced waste, continued innovation and growth in aquaculture.
As for fishing leaders breaking bread with the Benedictines, St Peter, the most revered of Jesus Christ's apostles, memorialised in the world's largest church, St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, was a simple fisherman.
And while we now may pay more homage to the God of Quota, fish continue to feed the multitude as they did in biblical lore.

Clergy and War—a Confused Picture
OUTSPOKEN FOR WAR
A CHASTISEMENT OR BLESSING FROM GOD?
THE BASEST OF WAR PROFITEERS
MONEY BUYS NO FAVORS FROM GOD
The War to End Wars
Religion and War in Recent Times
Awake!—1972
What Determines the Direction That Religion Takes?
WHEN Jesus concluded his famous sermon on the mount "the crowds were astounded at his way of teaching; for he was teaching them as a person having authority, and not as their scribes". (Matt. 7:28, 29, NW) He drew heavily upon the inspired Hebrew Scriptures to give substance to his sermon, and this gave it a ring of godly authority. Unlike the scribes and Pharisees, he did not depend on the traditions and commandments of men for support. Of Christ it is written, "The sheep follow him, because they know his voice." (John 10:4, NW) His voice echoed the Bible. They heard in his words the righteous principles of the Bible. His speech was plain, his words simple, his meaning clear. No double talk to be variously construed and interpreted, no hairsplitting or ambiguity to smack of a cagey lawyer more than a fearless minister. He did not water down or compromise or abandon his principles in the name of an endless string of "expediencies". With him it was Bible truth regardless of consequences. It was this kind of talk that astounded ears accustomed to the preaching of scribes and Pharisees who feared men, sought to please men, to be admired by men, to be enriched by men. Jesus pleased God, and spoke with the authority of God.
What about those claiming to speak for God today? Do they do so with an authoritative Bible ring of truth and righteousness? Or do they echo human opinion, as did the scribes and Pharisees? Let us sample some of the views on war, since that is a current theme of their sermons.
On November 29, 1950, the National Council of Churches was officially constituted. It embraces 31,000,000 members of the American Protestant denominations. The council's own claim is that "it lifts up its voice in behalf of the Christian way of life". Because of the war peril a commission had been "asked to seek under God for a Christian word that might guide or strengthen our fellow Christians and our fellowmen in the darkness we face together". The "word" forthcoming was a lengthy report that was very obscure. It condemned pacifism, advocated the United Nations; justified total mobilization, but not total war; declared no methods of fighting clean, but opined some methods dirtier than others. Atom bombs? If used on us first, we could "use them in retaliation with all possible restraint".
What scriptures were offered to give the ring of Bible authority to the report? None. Two members of the commission refused to sign it, one saying that the statement was involved and confused and had the effect of "making Christians do reluctantly what military necessity requires", and the other said the report was a "contradiction of terms" and offered no "distinctive moral guidance from the Christian gospel". Certainly no one could conceive of this mass of confused wordage coming from the mouth of the fearless Nazarene.
Unmistakable, however, was the position taken by Dr. Billington of the Akron, Ohio, Baptist Temple. He contended that "as a man of God" it looked to him as though "God is not with us", and advised: "Drop the A-bomb and stop it [Korean war]. God gave it to us. Let's use it to protect our Bibles, churches, schools and America's way of life." The Word of God will endure forever, and that without atom bombs. The same can be said concerning the true church. (1 Cor. 15:50-58; 1 Pet. 1:25) If God gave the atom bomb to the United States, did he also give it to the Soviets? Would we expect Christ to speak as did Dr. Billington? Or would he be more likely to cite as a principle, "Those who take up the atom bomb will perish by the atom bomb"?—Matt. 26:52.
Josef Cardinal Frings, archbishop of Cologne, declared on July 23, 1950, that "war is not only the right but even the duty of a nation" and that "unqualified conscientious objection to warfare as propagated by certain quarters does not coincide with Christian principles". (AP dispatch published in Albany, N. Y., Times-Union, July 24, 1950) What Christian principles? No scriptures were offered to give this assertion an authoritative ring. Nor were any offered in Osservatore Romano when it gave Vatican approval to Truman's decision to build the hydrogen superbomb, because "there is no other way out". (N. Y. Times, February 3, 1950) True Christians still rely on God rather than bombs as the way out.
Adding another facet to the clergy position on war, Roman Catholic Edmund A. Walsh, vice-president of Georgetown University, said concerning atom bombs, if the nation felt it were on the verge of being attacked: "Neither reason nor theology, nor morals require men or nations to commit suicide by requiring that we must await the first blow." He added that American use of the bomb first would place "an appalling responsibility" on the accuracy of its intelligence sources reporting the imminent attack upon the United States. Then he proceeded to shoulder that "appalling responsibility" by saying: "The protestations of peaceful intent spoken by Vishinsky in the United Nations are only the actors' lines of a prepared script designed to distract the audience from an approaching Pearl Harbor."—N. Y. Times, December 25, 1950.
Adding a brilliant polish to this facet of striking the first blow of a third world war, the official newspaper of the archdiocese of Boston, The Pilot, said on September 1, 1950, that a preventive war against Russia may be necessary. It held that offensive wars are moral under certain conditions, if fought for a "morally certain right", and added: "There is considerable evidence to establish the fact that the Soviet is guilty of real crimes and is contemplating further ones, and we seek merely to defend basic human rights."
Moving on to get another view of this many-sided picture of the clergy and war, we come face to face with the frequently expressed position that God brings the wars upon us as a chastisement for our sins. An example of this is found in the New York Times' report of July 24, 1950: "Our own sins have undoubtedly brought upon us this new chastisement," the conflict in Korea, Auxiliary Bishop Joseph F. Flannelly, administrator of St. Patrick's Cathedral, said yesterday. No scriptures are offered to make this position sound authoritative, whereas logic makes it unreasonable. If the war is a chastisement from God, why rail against the Korean and Chinese communists, and the Soviets that lend their backing? Flannelly's position would require us to recognize these communists as instruments in God's hands.
A few weeks later, from this same pulpit, an about-face is made. No longer is the war lamented as a chastisement from God, but is proclaimed a blessing from him. From the New York Times, September 11, 1950, we quote: "Sorrowing parents whose sons have been drafted or recalled for combat duty were told yesterday in St. Patrick's Cathedral that death in battle was part of God's plan for populating 'the kingdom of heaven.' 'It is a thought not always remembered,' he [Msgr. W. T. Green] continued, 'but it is the first responsibility of Christian parents to do what lies in their power to give their children back to God at whatever time, place and circumstances in which he chooses to call them, so that they may become true citizens of the eternal kingdom of heaven.'" If war is a part of God's plan for populating the kingdom of heaven, why should Catholics try to thwart him? Why should they pray for peace? Why not do all in their power to encourage war, that through it their children may gain the Kingdom? Why have peace, and thwart God's plan, and keep heaven unpopulated?
Centuries before Christ Israel was God's holy nation, and was used in wars that were approved by God, and at times he even fought in behalf of his people Israel. Yet even under such favorable circumstances the Israelite soldiers that fell in battle did not go to heaven. (John 3:13) David was a man of war, divinely approved wars, but he did not ascend into heaven. (Acts 2:34) After Christ came, Christians are spoken of as soldiers, but not the usual kind: "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage warfare according to what we are in the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly." (2 Cor. 10:3, 4; Eph. 6:10-17, NW) The Christian Greek Scriptures disclose God's method of populating the kingdom of heaven, but carnal warfare does not appear as a part thereof. Green's words lack backing.
Much talk is heard about taking the profit out of war. One of the cruelest forms of war-profiteering is exemplified by a letter written to Catholic parents during World War II. It was from Archbishop Sinnot, of Winnipeg, Canada, and dated March 1, 1944. After the salutation "My dear Catholic Parents", the first lengthy paragraph reads like an extortion note:
"I have received from the Pastors of the different Parishes a list of those who have boys overseas. Some time ago, as you are aware, I called on Catholic Mothers to enroll their boys as Perpetual Members of the Society of the Propagation of the Faith. I said: 'What better guarantee for any boy exposed to all the hazards of war! A guarantee, should he be killed, that he will go at once to his Maker, to be with Him for all eternity. A guarantee, should it be God's will, that he will return to his dear Mother and to those who love him.' This has been explained to you over and over again, from the pulpit and you have been urged to enroll your boys. A few, who have been personally contacted, have answered the appeal, but all the others have maintained a stolid indifference. If I were to conclude that you were indifferent to the safety of your boy, I would be doing you a grave injustice. You are not indifferent. What then can be the reason for the inaction! Some say, in fact many say, that they cannot afford it. That is not a reason, that is a specious excuse, unworthy of a Catholic Mother. You receive a portion of the boy's pay, and what better use can you make of it. 'Oh', you answer, 'I am trying to have a nest egg for my boy when he returns.' When he returns. Wouldn't it be better to take the best means you know to ensure the boy's return. If he does not return, what good, under heaven, will the 'nest egg' be to him. I am not advising you to take the boy's money, I would much prefer that you use your own money. But, if you must take the boy's money, take it as a loan. Surely you will be able to make it up in the years to come. Do you not think, with a little economy and a few less shows, you will be able to set aside one dollar a month, until the full amount is paid up? It is not necessary to pay the $40.00 at once. You can pay any sum you wish, by instalments. You can pay, say, $5.00 a month, or $10.00 every three months. You can take a year, you can take two years, you can even take three years. Three years, that is almost the equivalent of One Dollar per month. The important thing is to ensure the boy's safety, as far as we can do so,—his safety in time and eternity."
It is difficult to conceive of such heartless nagging for money, under any circumstances. When it is done in God's name, it is the rankest fraud and blasphemy. The humane mind balks at believing God might return safely from war a son with a forty-dollar price tag. Or to take that son to heaven if a forty-dollar ticket is provided. What scripture can possibly be twisted and wrested to even hint at such vicious money lust on God's part? Not one! The falsity of such extortion done in God's name is shown at Micah 3:11 (AT): "Her chiefs pronounce judgment for a bribe, and her priests declare oracles for hire, and her prophets divine for cash. Yet they lean upon the LORD, saying, 'Is not the LORD in the midst of us? No misfortune can befall us.'"
But misfortune can and will befall those who think God's favors can be bought with money. On one occasion a man offered Peter money for a gift of God. The apostle Peter, very unpopelike, said: "May your silver perish with you." (Acts 8:18-20, NW) It was Peter who said to those in charge of congregations: "Shepherd the flock of God among you, not under compulsion, but willingly, neither for love of dishonest gain, but eagerly." (1 Pet. 5:2, NW) This rules out the dishonest use of nonexistent pagan purgatories or burning hells to extort money from the surviving friends of the deceased. The Bible shows the dead are in the grave, asleep in death, awaiting a resurrection to life on earth. (Eccl. 9:5, 10; John 5:28, 29, NW) No clergyman can interfere with this divine purpose, whether he is given or refused money.
From the foregoing it is clear that the clergy offer no consistent, comforting counsel regarding war, no sure guidance backed by the authority of God's Word, and their leadership in other problems is similarly confused. The majority of those thinking war un-Christian are too weak-kneed to say so in wartime. Others clamor for war to rid them of their enemies, just as the Pharisees forced the Roman military to kill their exposer Jesus. Some support defensive wars, others preventive wars, and still others outright offensive warfare. One says war is a chastisement from God for our sins, another says it is his way of populating heaven. Others hover over their congregations like vultures, opportunists that swoop down in wartime to extort money from grieved parents. War-profiteers of the basest sort.
Sincere Christians turn from these confused men, turn to the clear truths and Christian principles of God's Word. There they will find words of authority. There the sheep will hear the voice of the Good Shepherd, and will learn the way to follow, and will find the path to life in a new world.—2 Pet. 3:13; Rev. 21:1-4.

Since Microsoft unveiled Windows Phone 7 Series at MWC in February, I know you've heard a lot of "stay tuned to MIX for more details." Well here's a peek at some of those details Microsoft is addressing today. To help set the tone leading into MIX, Microsoft is sharing some important elements for the Windows Phone 7 Series development platform.
First and foremost, let me stress that Microsoft isn't working alone on this. The company has had hundreds of face-to-face conversations with ISVs over the past year to help ensure that we are delivering a platform that address their core needs. Interestingly, nearly 70% of developers cited "ease of use" as the most important factor in selecting a development environment.
Silverlight. Developers and designers want a separation between design and code, and a lightweight markup language that allows the quick delivery of rich, well performing applications that can provide experiences on multiple screens. Microsoft Silverlight is a robust, mature, and popular runtime that meets these needs, and our developers have been asking us to bring this to mobile for some time. With Silverlight and Microsoft's Windows Phone development platform, developers will have effective development tools and platform for creating and deploying high performance, compelling mobile applications.
XNA. Many developers want to expand their portfolio to include 2D and 3D games, but are not equipped to handle the expense of modern game development. XNA give more developers the opportunity to bring games to the phone.
For Microsoft, the cost of going from good to great is a clean break from the past. For example, previous Windows Phone content will not run on Windows Phone 7 Series.
More information is available in this blog post from Charlie Kindle.
Note, too, that Microsoft will be discussing the Windows Phone 7 Series development platform--its components, capabilities and opportunities--in depth at MIX starting March 15. I'll be in Las Vegas for MIX, so expect more info then.


This is a typical French wine taster (tastevin), but not one of the numerous late 19th century examples,but an earlier one. The shallow bowl is plain with a caulked edge, (ie it is thicknessed by hammering around its top edge). Unlike many, it is higher grade silver and this example is stamped with the name of the original owner - R MOREAU adjacent to the marks. It has a loop (snake) handle, also marked with the maker's mark , which appears to be PN over D with a key between the P and the N(?) all within a lozenge (see second image).
The bowl is 3.1", 8 cm. diameter and over the handle measures 4.3", 10.1 cm. The tastevin is in very good condition, of good gauge and with its original patination.
One has to wonder if this was originally ordered by a member of the famous house of Moreau in Chablis.

Julian Assange's old blog.
Wed 03 Jan 2007 : Witnessing
Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love. In a modern economy it is impossible to seal oneself off from injustice.
If we have brains or courage, then we are blessed and called on not to frit these qualities away, standing agape at the ideas of others, winning pissing contests, improving the efficiencies of the neocorporate state, or immersing ourselves in obscuranta, but rather to prove the vigor of our talents against the strongest opponents of love we can find.
If we can only live once, then let it be a daring adventure that draws on all our powers. Let it be with similar types whos hearts and heads we may be proud of. Let our grandchildren delight to find the start of our stories in their ears but the endings all around in their wandering eyes.
The whole universe or the structure that perceives it is a worthy opponent, but try as I may I can not escape the sound of suffering. Perhaps as an old man I will take great comfort in pottering around in a lab and gently talking to students in the summer evening and will accept suffering with insouciance. But not now; men in their prime, if they have convictions are tasked to act on them.

Did I ever tell you about the time Nataliya took me out to go get a drink with her? We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally Nataliya takes me to a vacant lot and says, 'Here we are.' We sat there for a year and a half, until sure enough, someone constructs a bar around us. Well, the day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. Nataliya yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found 'em!'
The history of warfare is similarly subdivided, although here the phases
are Retribution, Anticipation, and Diplomacy. Thus:
Retribution:
I'm going to kill you because you killed my brother.
Anticipation:
I'm going to kill you because I killed your brother.
Diplomacy:
I'm going to kill my brother and then kill you on the
pretext that your brother did it.
Does anyone know an easy way to make this material into a PDF?
If sheep entrails could in any way be related to the weather, i.e. sheep trails only originate where it rains, then you could use it as an accurate model for discerning what the weathers going to be like. Either, sheep shit makes it rain, or raining makes sheep shit. Sheep don't shit "randomly" sheep shit after they eat, it doesn't rain "randomly" it rains after water collects in the atmosphere.

I know that the idea of labelling inconvenient people as "terrorists" isn't as important as Fox reporting Onion articles as fact, but here you go...
Congressman Peter King is at it again:
Congressman wants WikiLeaks listed as terrorist group
The incoming chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee says WikiLeaks should be officially designated as a terrorist organization.
Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), the panel's presumptive next head, asked the Obama administration today to "determine whether WikiLeaks could be designated a foreign terrorist organization," putting the group in the same company as Al Qaeda and Aum Shinrikyo, the Japanese cult that released deadly sarin gas on the Tokyo subway.
"WikiLeaks appears to meet the legal criteria" of a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, King wrote in a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reviewed by CNET. He added: "WikiLeaks presents a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States."
King's letter was prompted by a massive document dump totaling more than 250,000 State Department diplomatic cables, which WikiLeaks gave in advance to news organizations, including Germany's Der Spiegel and Spain's El Pais, that began appearing on the Internet this morning. The White House has condemned the release, which Der Spiegel called "nothing short of a political meltdown for U.S. foreign policy."

It's not really been much of a meltdown, though, so it's pretty transparent that this is crooked. Going to mail my congress thing about this.
Chekha
Palin also believes Wikileaks should be considered a terrorist organization. And if she were to become President, she could declare it without Congressional approval, IIRC.
Of course, Clinton only backed away from overtly saying it herself. She said Wikileaks "threatened international stability". I mean, that's the kind of language that has historically led to Article 5 of NATO being invoked. No doubt soon GOP Congressmen will call for the invasion of Wikileakistan.

Dan Croll Releases Music Video To His Latest Single 'Coldblooded'
New Album 'Grand Plan' out 21st August 2020
Author Daniel Taylor
© Max Knight
This month saw Dan Croll release not one, but two new singles ahead of his upcoming album Grand Plan, out 21st August 2020. His pair of singles, Hit Your Limit and Coldblooded not only outline what to expect from the seasoned songwriter's new album, but also acknowledge how Croll's has honed his craft.
In accompaniment of the single, Croll has also released a music video for Coldblooded. This sees him, once again, collaborate with visual team The Wild Honey Pie, who have produced every video for his latest record. Filmed in the LA-based music shop 'Old Style Guitars', the video eloquently compliments the overall aesthetic of Dan's new music.
Focusing solely on Croll for the duration of the video, the singer-songwriter intimately performs Coldblooded in a way that allows you to appreciate the heartfelt lyrics. The setting and lo-fi style also underscore the wider themes of discovery, love and discomfort Dan wants to convey across the entirety of his new record. View the video below.
Croll's new album Grand Plan chronicles a 12-month period that begins back in February 2018 when the singer-songwriter decided to leave the UK and move to Los Angeles.
Dan explains:
The past two years have been a rollercoaster, starting from scratch, alone in a different country, but I'm so happy to have come out the other end with this collection of songs. Feels great not only to be back on the music scene, but to be doing it with songs that I finally feel represent the influences and music I truly love.
It is abundantly clear that a short break from the music scene has allowed the Staffordshire-born singer to truly understand and express the elements of music he loves most. In doing so, Dan has been able to deliver songs that emphasise everything that the multi-instrumentalist does best, providing us with the inimitable Spacebomb country-psych-soul style that saw his previous singles Compliment Your Soul and From Nowhere see global success.

Q: Quantization of a classical system (e.g. the case of a billiard) There have been already several questions asking for an introduction to quantum mechanics
for a mathematician, but this one is slightly different, and more restrictive.
I know (some)
quantum mechanics, but I'd like to find a reference which explains, in a way as clear and systematic as possible, how we pass from a classical system (in the hamiltonian formulation,
with a phase space $X$, and an Hamiltonian function $H$ on it) to the corresponding
quantum system, with an Hilbert space $V$ and an Hamiltonian operator $\hat H$ on it.
If the reference is precise and rigorous mathematically, that's a plus (ideally it would even define a functor $(X,H) \mapsto (V,\hat{H})$ of the adequate categories); if the reference gives a lot of physical intuition, that's also a plus.
I ask this question because I am trying to understand Quantum Unique Ergodicity, in particular
the classical example of Billiard. In this example $B$ is a closed region of the plane with a
smooth boundary, and $X=B \times S^{1}$, the second factor corresponding to the velocity vector. The Hamiltonian in the inside of $X$ corresponds to free motion, but it has to be defined somehow on the boundary so that it corresponds to the ball reflecting on the boundary in the standard way (I am not sure how exactly). Then I am told that the quantic version of this system is a $V$ which is the space of function on $B$ which vanishes on the boundary,
and I'd like to understand why, and $\tilde H$ is the laplacian (that I more or less understand). If anyone has an explanation for that example, that would be great.
EDIT: Thanks to all for your five answers. Each of them taught me something valuable, and collectively they taught me I knew much less about Quantum Mechanics than I thought.
SECOND EDIT: Since answers keep arriving, let me add something:
When I said I was "told" that quantization of a Billiard B is the space of functions on B
vanishing at the boundary, it is true but I also read it A. Hassel, "What is quantum unique ergodicity?", page 161.
Now that I realize that my question was too vast and too difficult (for me to understand fully the answer).
I'd like to precise it by asking: when people working in Quantum Theory
quantize a classical physical system (like in the article quoted above), what specific method do they use? Or are they just math people happy with any quantum system having some analogy with the classical one and leading to a mathematically interesting problem?

A: There have been many attempts to develop a mathematical theory of quantisation, a functor that produces a quantum system for a given classical (Hamiltonian) system. Ideally, one would like to replace classical observables (functions on phase space) by quantum observables (operators on a Hilbert space) such that the commutator bracket of the quantum observable agrees, to first order in the Planck constant, with the Poisson bracket of the corresponding classical observables. Such a functor doesn't exist, there are various theorems that show that in general this is not possible.

A: Quantization is not a functor.

A: As to the bulk of your question, which I take to be a reference request for mathematical accounts of quantum mechanics, I am partial to the book Quantum Mechanics for Mathematicians by L. Takhtajan.
Be sure to look over the MathOverflow thread Where does a math person go to learn quantum mechanics?, as it contains many good references.

A: Let me add some comments.
I think the question has many faces: 1)  general principles of correspondence classical to quantum world 2)  quite a concrete question about boundary conditions for quantization of billiards.
About (1) I have written something in Quantum mechanics basics
I can add more, but not sure it is appropriate...
About (2), let me add some comments, it is not full answer, but may be still of some use.
So Joel asks " But I am not sure why the wave function should be defined on R^2 instead of just on B, and even while it should be continuous."
Yes, I think from physical point of view it should be defined on R^2 and should be continuous, let me explain some arguments which come to my mind.
How can you confine a particle to restricted billiard region "B" in practice ? What physical experiment you keep in mind ?
The answer is the following - let us create a potential barrier with very high energy  U(x) = U_0  - outside "B" and U(x) = 0 inside "B".
Well, actually I think such discontinuous potential barrier is not practical, but we can smooth as much as we want.
Classical particle with energy < U_0 cannot go outside the barrier, but quantum particle
can make tunneling inside barrier with exponentially decaying wave function.
Now we just want to consider the limit U_0 -> infinity.
That would correspond to confining quantum particle to the region "B", again in practice there are NO infinities, so always small probability for particle to be  outside region B,
but as mathematical abstraction it is Okay to take U_0 = inf.
So now we come to  mathematically  well-formulated questions :
Consider smooth potentials U_n(x) which approximate U(x), where U(x) =inf in R^2\B and U(x) = 0, inside B.  Consider  the wave functions Psi(x) which is solution of the corresponding problem (Laplace + U_n(x) ) \Psi_n(x) = \Lambda Psi_n(x)
0) Is it true the limit \Psi (x) does not depend on approximating sequence U_n(x) ?
1) Is it true that limit Psi_n (x) is continuouos ?
2) Is it true that Psi_n(x) = 0 outside B (including the boundary) ?
I hope the answer is YES, on both questions, but I am not sure I know the arguments.
It is better to start with these question on R^1 not R^2 - this is done in any quantum mechanics textbook, I am sorry I a little forget the details.

A: Joël asked in a comment that amplified on the original question: "What is not clear to me is how this hypothesis get translated in the quantum setting... I was told that the corresponding quantum system is the space V of function on B vanishing on δB, and the Hamiltonian is the Laplacian. But how does that translate the hypothesis about bouncing? If we assume a weird bouncing where the the inward angle is said twice the outward angle, what would be the attached quantum system?"
A basic requirement for any method of quantization is that it should recover the classical behavior in the limit $h\rightarrow0$. As a first example, let's take the standard classical billiard-ball system, with equal angles of incidence and reflection $\theta_r=\theta_i$, and do our quantization using the path integral method. In the limit $h\rightarrow0$, you get complete interference for all paths except for the one of extremal length, which is the one that has equal angles of incidence and reflection.
Now let's consider your system with $\theta_r=\theta_i/2$. The time-evolution of this system doesn't preserve volume in phase space, so by Liouville's theorem it can't be described by a Hamiltonian. Typically a quantization method starts from a Hamiltonian description, so that's a problem. Physically, the rule $\theta_r=\theta_i/2$ lacks time-reversal symmetry, so under quantization, I suppose the wave equation would have to have a first derivative with respect to time in it. I think what this example shows is that quantization methods are like a set of tools that are made to be used for different purposes. Only certain kinds of classical systems have quantized counterparts that are of interest, and each quantization method is a tool that was only designed to be used on certain classes of systems of interest. As another example, the quantization methods used for the electromagnetic field fail when applied to gravitational fields.
Other answers have discussed the fact that quantization is not a turn-key process. To make this more concrete, I think it's helpful to consider the simplest example I know that is of actual physical interest, which is an electron in an externally applied electromagnetic field. There you get the Aharonov-Bohm effect, which is a nontrivial nonclassical effect that would be hard to anticipate.

A: As the non-uniques of a quantization scheme was already brought up, I will add a nice resource which gives a broad overview of different techniques:
Quantization Methods: A Guide for Physicists and Analysts, arXiv:math-ph/0405065
For geometric quantization the standard textbook account is Woodhouse: Geometric Quantization.

A: Apparently you have been told that the Laplacian with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions is the quantization of the classical billard on the unit sphere bundle over $B$. That is not the only possibility. If the Dirichlet conditions are replaced by Neumann (or Robin) boundary conditions, the corresponding classical Hamilton system is the same billard.
The correspondence between quantum and classical systems typically arises by taking the semi-classical limit which, in a quantum mechanical setting, consists of letting Planck's "constant" tend to zero. Given that quantum mechanics is more fundamental than classical mechanics, why should one even hope to be generally able to go from classical to quantum, or to have a quantization functor? The non-existence of a quantization functor has already been pointed out in an answer, which maybe refers to the Groenewold-van Hove Theorem.

South Shore Frolics won't return in 2019, "foreseeable future"
For more than six decades, the South Shore Frolics was a Bay View fixture stuffed with parades, live music, festival food, classic car shows, games, and the "Blow Up The Beach" fireworks display. That tradition came to an end in late 2017, when the Bay View Lions Club (which had hosted the South Shore Park festival since 1995) announced the fest would not return in 2018.
And now, in case you were holding out hope that the Frolics would return this summer, the Lions would like to remind you that nope, it ain't happening.
Here's a message that was posted today on the Frolics' Facebook page:
To answer all the questions we have received surrounding the South Shore Frolics in 2019, we are sorry to say there will be NO event this year nor in the foreseeable future. The Bay View Lions appreciate all the support Frolics goers have shown us over the years, and we truly sympathize with you over its loss. As we have previously stated, the skyrocketing costs involved with putting the Frolics on was to [sic] much for the Bay View Lions to sustain.
The permanent cancelation punctuates a long history of problems for the fest. The Lions canceled the parade in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016; the fireworks were the source of drama in 2016; and some neighbors continually complained about noise, litter, property damage, and an atmosphere they said no longer represented Bay View.
So, R.I.P. South Shore Frolics. Again.

Dark chocolate truffles infused with rose flavor are a luxurious, elegant chocolate dessert that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Learn how to make homemade chocolate truffles to give as gifts or to treat yourself with.
Dark chocolate truffles really are on the top shelf in the chocolate confection hierarchy. The cost and packaging remind us of this. Their perfectly round prim form, often with exotic flavors, nested in fancy boxes with only a few sold together imply their luxe standing.
Unlike drugstore candy that is approachable and commonplace for all, truffles infer by their mere presence that they might be too good for us, too sophisticated for a normal palate. That they shouldn't be eaten while wearing holey jeans or flip flops. And certainly not without mascara or lipstick. A collection of them in one place touting complex combinations of fillings and outer coatings can feel like stumbling into a cocktail party of the best and brightest, urging one to consider if they are good enough to be in their company. They are a bit snooty, or maybe it's just how we look at them.
Did you know you can easily you can make dark chocolate truffles yourself? That's right. You don't need to pay $3 for one in a little gold box. I had not realized this until office friends began giving them as gifts. I was shocked wondering where they got them and how they could afford to give them out en masse. I soon learned they are a fairly simple homemade confection and though I don't make them often it's always fun when the mood strikes.
Never liking to do anything mainstream I'm sharing my latest concoction with an eye towards Mother's Day: Rose-flavored Dark Chocolate Truffles. We love rose flavoring in my house in fact I've made enough rose recipes to do a roundup of 10 Rose-flavored Dessert Recipes. I typically have used rose extract in most of my recipes however rose water is also popular especially in Middle Eastern recipes. It can be a very strong flavor so taste what you make and start with a small amount of the rose flavor, increasing slightly until reaching your preferred flavor is key.
In the case of these truffles I began cooking without setting out my mise en place. I dove into the pantry for the rose extract only to realize I'd rearranged everything and did not have time to locate the extract. Instead I used a new rose water, which I found in the end was fairly potent more like an extract. The moral to this story is every rose water or extract differs from the next so tasting while cooking is important not to overwhelm the dish.
I've used a few different methods for coating the truffles and allowing them to set. This time I tried something new inspired by a short video from Saveur on dipping truffles. The video uses toothpicks inserted into the truffles for swirling and allowing the truffles to harden off a surface which can cause pooling to form a 'foot'. Once again I began the process, ran downstairs to grab a piece of Styrofoam leftover from a craft project as suggested by the video and couldn't find it. Get everything ready before you begin; do as I say, not as I do!
With no time to waste, I quickly came up with an alternative; tin foil gently wadded and then compressed between a baking sheet with sides and a cooling rack. This provides cushioning to insert toothpicks into and the cooling rack provides additional stability. A grid cooling rack may be used or two cooling racks with non-grid pattern, turned at 90 degrees to allow a grid to be formed.
I wanted a simple, fun decoration on top and used edible pink pearl dust and edible stars which are both Wilton products and can be found in the baking section of a craft store, fine cookware shops or online. The decorations may look more like a pop art project than the design work of a confectioner but it's good by me.
The rose flavoring with dark chocolate is an unexpected flavor combination and a sophisticated one. Rose flavoring tastes like roses smell. Ponder that for a moment! With our sense of smell and taste being linked they are the only sense that are interchangeable in this way and it makes for fun flavor play!
The smell of roses translates into rose-flavored dark chocolate truffles for a luxurious treat!
Fully line a 9 by 9-inch baking pan with foil.
In a medium heavy saucepan, heat the cream over medium to medium-low heat until starting to simmer. Watch and stir as the cream heats to avoid burning.
Add the chocolate and stir constantly to melt the chocolate; around 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the rose water. Spoon into the prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the chocolate is completely chilled; 4 hours or overnight.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a melon baller scoop balls of the chocolate from the chilled pan and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Chocolate may be rolled between the palms of your hands to form balls. Note: the balls will be rolled again so they do not need to be perfect at this stage. Place the sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 15 minutes.
Remove the pan, rolls the balls gently between the palms of your hands to smooth out the balls. Insert one toothpick into each chocolate ball with a pointed end outside the chocolate ball (if there is only one pointed end on the toothpick). Place back onto the baking sheet and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
When 10 minutes is left before the chocolate balls are ready to be removed from the freezer, prepare a stand for the dipped truffles either by using a block of Styrofoam or gently wadding sheets of thin foil, placing them onto a baking sheet with sides and positioning a grid pattern cooling rack (or two cooling racks on top of each other in opposite directions to form a grid; see photos) pushed onto the foil compressing it. Assemble any decorations for the truffles as well.
In a heatproof small metal bowl, placed atop a simmering saucepan of water, place the chocolate baking chips and stir often while they melt. Stir until smooth.
Remove the chocolate balls from the freezer and one by one, holding the toothpick, swirl the ball in the melted chocolate to coat it. Hold it over the bowl of chocolate and gently shake to allow excess chocolate to drip back into the melted chocolate. Place the toothpick into the foil on the prepared baking sheet or Styrofoam block and apply decoration. Repeat to coat and decorate all the truffles. Place in the freezer to fully set for at least 20 minutes. Do not discard the melted chocolate in the bowl.
Once the truffles are set, reheat the chocolate over a saucepan of water. Remove the toothpicks from the truffles and dab a small amount of chocolate on the toothpick hole to cover it. Place the truffles on a parchment lined baking sheet placed in the refrigerator to harden. Store in the refrigerator.
The bulk of the total recipe time is comprised of chilling periods.
Truffle recipe adapted from the James Beard Foundation.
I absolutely love this idea, you made a great rose flavored dark chocolate truffles. I'm gonna try it at home.
Love your addition of rose water for a unique treat! And those edible sprinkles are to die for, party ready!
These would be a delicious sweet treat. I love the gold stars on them. I will have to try this recipe.
Chocolate is our favorite all the time! I'm sure kids would also fall in love with these.
These look delicious and rose flavoured sounds really interesting! I would love to give these a try!
These little like tasty little ditties. I love your thorough instructions / recipe on preparing them, as well as your pictures.
Mmm! I love those flavors and the truffles look so cute too! I want to make some!
These look delicious. My son is home for the summer and he loves finding new dessert recipes to try. I will have to show him this one.
I love that Pam! I hope he'll like the recipe!
You certainly had me at dark chocolate but I am totally curious about the rose flavor. I love those cute finishing touches you added too!
I'm so glad you like the recipe Brandy! I hope you'll teen will too!
Those look so yummy. I can't believe how easy it is to make something that looks so difficult!
You had me at "edible stars!" Is there anything on which these could not be used? Wow, I had no idea. Thank you for broadening my horizons.
No, nothing. I'm going to put them on everything. Glad to share them with you.
These truffles looks divine! I love the stars!
Thanks Sommer! I love those little stars too.
Wow. Those are SUPER fancy. I actually never realized it was so easy to make something that seemed so high end. Thank!
They do seem fancy don't they? BUT they are easy to make! I love that about truffles. And no one knows they are easy……except you now!
Oh my word. I could eat about 34 of those right now. Wowza!

I hope you enjoy the new YES & NO; I'm proud of everyone's work, and think this issue is dynamite!
From time to time—more and more, in fact—people ask me what is YES & NO all about. They've heard about it but haven't seen it in the flesh, as it were. What is its appeal and why does it appear to be continuing to go from strength to strength? Clearly these are mostly people who were naysayers in the early days of the development of the idea; people who were convinced the magazine was sure to fail and would never succeed.
Now that the 6th edition has just been launched—after a fantastic CHAMPAGNE TAITTINGER Reception at the studio of artist TANYA LING in Covent Garden, London—some are still scratching their heads.
Many more are clapping their hands and celebrating the fact that the YES & NO exists at all. In a way, the magazine defies logic. Its concept is so simple, it's absurd to think why no one has thought of the idea before.
So what is it about YES & NO that's so appealing?
YES & NO is a magazine about everything. But it's not about anything. The reason why it takes this form is simply because I'm interested in everything. Therefore, I believe its appeal is rooted in the plain fact that it is a bold, multifaceted independent publication that speaks to free, rational individuals who exercise their own judgement. This isn't the egotistical, self-centred man on the street. This is the independent thinker whose interests are essentially for the good of all.
Earlier this year en route to the FIFA WORLD CUP I was in Paris. Sitting on the Metro, heading from Gare de Nord to Jussieu in the 5th arrondissement, I caught sight of a poster advertising the MUSÉE YVES SAINT LAURENT. Later that day, at around 6pm, I arrived at 5 avenue Marceau where the museum is located—YSL's former studio.
Saint Laurent inspired me when I was 12 or 13 after I'd read an interview he gave for BRITISH VOGUE. The interview accompanied a feature on Saint Laurent's fur coat collection. The piece was called "Superlatives". This was before the notion of Animal Rights became a thing worth thinking about, before PETA was founded.
Saint Laurent's coats—for her and for him—were made of furs from around the world: fox, mink, astrakhan, silver, white, black. You name it, Yves used it with flamboyant abandon; and he designed them from the neck right down to the toe. Some even had matching hats or muffs for that ultimate finish!
I was too young and ignorant to think about the meaning of fur coats on any moral or ethical grounds. In the interview, however, the single thing that Saint Laurent said, the thing that stayed with me and opened up worlds of possibilities, was that he'd always looked for (and found) inspiration in "the gesture".
The gesture could take any form—a thought, a glance, a mark made by a paint brush or a pencil… At least, this's how I remember it, his voice, the feeling it gave me. And when you see the museum dedicated to his life and work, you see (and feel) his touch and his voice everywhere.
