Antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, teens, and young adults. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy or when the dose is changed should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior such as becoming agitated, irritable, hostile, aggressive, impulsive, or restless. Should these occur, report them to a doctor right away. PRISTIQ is not approved for use in children under 18.
Do not take PRISTIQ if you are allergic to desvenlafaxine, venlafaxine, or any of the ingredients in PRISTIQ. Do not take PRISTIQ if you currently take, or have taken within the last 14 days, any medicine known as an MAOI (including intravenous methylene blue or the antibiotic linezolid). Allow 7 days after stopping PRISTIQ before starting an MAOI. Taking an MAOI with PRISTIQ can cause serious or even life-threatening side effects.
Before taking PRISTIQ, tell your healthcare professional about all prescription and over-the-counter medications and supplements you take or plan to take including those to treat migraines and psychiatric disorders (including other antidepressants or amphetamines); to avoid serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition; aspirin, NSAID pain relievers, or blood thinners because they may increase the risk of bleeding.
Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Talk to your healthcare provider about the risk to your unborn baby if you take PRISTIQ during pregnancy.
Are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. PRISTIQ can pass into your breast milk. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby during treatment with PRISTIQ.
Discontinuation symptoms may occur when stopping or reducing PRISTIQ, so talk to your healthcare professional before stopping or changing your dose.
Until you see how PRISTIQ affects you, be careful driving a car or operating machinery. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking PRISTIQ.
In clinical studies, most common side effects with PRISTIQ 50 mg were nausea, dizziness, sweating, constipation, and decreased appetite.
PRISTIQ is a prescription medication approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adults.

B.Sc. Thesis & Project
HTL Mödling
At TU Munich, students are required to attend one seminar during the course of their bachelors degree. However, the organizers of some other seminars were so kind to let me join theirs as well. A seminar typically consists of 8-10 people, each of which holds one of the 90 min talks as a lecturer would. In some seminars I was allowed to hold multiple lectures. Depending on whether it is a Bachelors or a Masters seminar, the talks are given in german or english.
Here are the lecture notes for the talks I held.
B.Sc. Thesis - Abstract Wiener Spaces
The goal of this thesis is to set up a measure theoretic and functional analytic framework for a differential and integral calculus on infinite-dimensional topological vector spaces (TVSs). In the introductory part, we make some naive approaches and immediately see why they are doomed to fail. We give further motivation from pure mathematics, physics, and financial economics.
In the second part, we will introduce the basic notions of measures on locally convex TVSs and consider the problem of choosing "the right" sigma-algebra. We then define Gaussian measures and discuss the celebrated Theorem of Fernique and its consequences. After that we study the associated Cameron--Martin space and consider the example of the finite-dimensional real space R^n and the classical Wiener space. In the last part of the chapter we state and prove the Theorems of Cameron and Martin and summarize the theory in its most natural setting, separable Frechet spaces.
Finally, we consider the dual viewpoint, stemming from Quantum Field Theory, in which we start from a formal density w.r.t. a (hypothetical) Lebesgue measure and subsequently develop the corresponding functional analytic framework. In the final chapter we employ parts of the theory to obtain a generalized version of the classical Theorem of Schilder from the Theory of Large Deviations.

Project - Fractional Brownian Motion
Fractional Brownian motion (fBM) is a one parameter generalization of Brownian motion which can be seen as the convolution of white noise with a power kernel t^(H - 1/2), splitting fBM into three quite distinct classes: 0 < H < 1/2, H = 1/2, and 1/2 < H < 1. Originally, fBM was introduced by B. Mandelbrot and J. Van Ness as a continuous time model for a long-range dependent stochastic process, specifically for the study of economics, hydraulics, and fluctuation in solids. From a probabilistic point of view, fBM is particularly interesting since it is neither a Markov process nor a semi-martingale. We will show both of these results alongside some other probabilistic and analytic properties.

NEW ORLEANS – A Slidell employer is alleged to have failed to permit an audit by labor union groups.
Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 60 Pension Fund, Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 60 Health and Welfare Fund, et al. filed a complaint on March 30 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana against Rucker Mechanical Contractors LLC alleging that the employer violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Labor Management Relations Act.
According to the complaint, the plaintiffs allege that they and the defendants entered into an agreement and that they sought to perform a payroll compliance audit of the defendant in December 2016. The plaintiffs hold Rucker Mechanical Contractors LLC responsible because despite the demands seeking compliance, the defendant allegedly failed to remit contributions.
The plaintiffs seek all unpaid contributions, liquidated damages, attorneys' fees and costs and all other legal or equitable relief. They are represented by Louis L. Robein and Paula M. Bruner of Robein, Urann, Spencer, Picard & Cangemi APLC in Metairie.

I wonder if Selena's family, upon watching this performance, felt an eerie sense of déjà vu. The consensus reads, "Selena occasionally struggles to tell its subject's story with depth or perspective, but those flaws are rendered largely irrelevant by Jennifer Lopez in the title role".

Harassing Thief Girl Ch. 97
Mr. Robot	Harrasing Thief Girl	 January 7, 2019 January 10, 2019 8 Minutes
https://ncode.syosetu.com/n3461cg/97/
I'm Going Home Nya
"By the way, what about my family's home nya?"
As expected of the dull cat girl, she quickly noticed that the topic of the fishing village where her parents lived had not recently been talked about–discarded for the more interesting matter of the dragon this time around. Ellis quickly laid the record straight.
"It's all right. I've already received a request from the Merchant Guild, so as soon as the first carriage and a few other logistical concerns have been taken care of, we should be able to head right on over."
Yes, this was a complete and utter lie. The truth was that everyone besides Katie had been having so much fun playing with the Land Dragon Ra-chin that they had completely forgotten about the western fishing village.
Claire had asked Ra-chin to decrease to about a three meter long size and rode him all around Warren. The other citizens were able to quickly get used to Ra-chin's appearance as a result, and soon the sight of the two melted their hearts. It also became a popular sight for children who loved to play around with his swinging tail or run up alongside them. It was quite the positive result, so it couldn't be helped that he had been reduced to Claire's personal mule.
Frau enjoyed sparring while wearing full protective armor against Ra-chin in his 2 meter long size. Well, it allowed Ra-chin to learn how to fight in narrow spaces while Frau learned how to properly judge the strength behind an enemy's attack, so a little pain cannot be helped.
Ra-chin's worst memory had to have been while he was playing with Reeve though. She took him while he was in his human form to Master's Hideaway to teach him gambling. As a result, the guardian dragon of Warren suffered one humiliating defeat after another and lost all of the money he had been given. He even lost against Buzz and Doug. Having been exposed to the red-hot shame of being a massive loser, Ra-chin had sworn to never go back to Master's Hideaway ever again.
So in order to cover for Ellis's tiny white lie, Reeve came to the Merchant Guild.
"Is Maria here?"
"What's the matter Reeve?"
"I have a request, as soon as possible, I need you to prepare a carriage for the sake of visiting the western fishing village."
"I wonder, will you being going as well Reeve?"
Ufufufufufufu.
"If you would accompany me inside the carriage, I can use a mandate as the guild master to have a carriage prepared right away."
Maria threw a blatant invitation right towards Reeve without thinking about her age. But Reeve thought about it. From Warren to the fishing village, Katie said it would only take about half a day if they traveled in a straight line. That meant they would arrive during the day and could leave early next morning. And there is no way Maria would try something funny while the sun was still out.
"I understand, that condition should be acceptable. Could I ask that we be prepared to depart early one morning?"
Maria had never thought that Reeve would agree, but she soon got over her surprise and started barking out orders all around.
"Nicole, I shall take care of directly purchasing new marine products, so find a place to distribute them! Ichiro, immediately prepare the wagons and my horse-drawn carriage! We depart tomorrow people, so let's go!"
"Maria, we are leaving tomorrow?" Reeve tried to confirm.
"Fortune favors the quick Reeve!" Maria shouted out her reply while still barking out more orders to her guildlings.
Thus, as usual, Reeve was forced to return home from with Merchant Guild with drooping shoulders.
"Mistress, sorry. We're leaving early in the morning…….tomorrow….."
This was the confession Reeve made when she returned right before dinnertime. Katie jumped up in excitement at the wonderful news, but the other three shared a not-so-eager look. They had made zero preparations for any kind of trip. So Katie was the only one who moved forward to thank Reeve for the news.
"Thank you nya, Reeve. It's all right, we are already ready to go nya."
Although this was a lily garden, the cat girl was the only one who had flowers growing in her head. She truly believed that all the preparations had been finished without her noticing.
Then the next day inevitably came around.
In order to show the people in the fishing village that it was safe to travel to Warren, Ra-chin had to come along with them as proof. Thus it was also necessary to bring Pi-tan along as well or else have to deal with his pouting and burning jealousy. Ellis and Claire confirmed with each other that it would be necessary to extend the length of the carriage in the future, but there should be problem this time since it was just a half day's journey. And so they linked up their carriage to Maria's caravan.
Although it wasn't much of a caravan this time around as Maria had prepared only two carriages. The first was Maria's personal deluxe carriage dedicated to leisurely trip for her. The second one would be for the carrying of products which was being driven by Goro.
"Goro, it's been a long time," Frau immediately moved to greet the driver.
"Mm, too long," Goro greeted her back with a smile.
The two of them had been cooking friends ever since the very first trip the girls had taken to Marsfield. A gachihomo and gachilez. It was a rare relationship where a man and a woman could talked intimately between each other with a zero percent chance of any romantic emotions popping up. So Frau took a seat next to him and started catching up.
"Reeve, over here."
Meanwhile Maria started calling out to Reeve from within the luxury carriage. Reeve left her spot as the driver of her own luxury carriage and started heading over having completely given up.
"Sorry nya."
"Don't worry about it."
A cat girl who didn't know what else she could do other than apologize and a noble daughter who had a headache from thinking about her future shared a short exchange while sleepily staring at the sky.
As a result, Ellis's carriage had Katie acting as the driver with only Ellis, Claire, Ra-chin, and Pi-tan riding as passengers. But none of the other three held any worries as whenever it was just those two girls together, their talks usually end up steering in a more serious direction. Sure enough, no sooner had the carriages started off than Ellis and Claire had started to busy themselves talking about the second phase of constructions projects currently underway, the management of the new apartment housing, new improvements that could be done to their luxury carriage, and an extension plan for their mansion.
Ra-chin meanwhile rushed over and climbed on top of Ellis's knees. Ellis unconsciously began stroking his back leading Ra-chin to look down on Pi-tan as if to declare his victory. Not one to suffer such an indignation, Pi-tan climbed on top of Claire's lap and laid down on his back. Claire unconsciously started to pet Pi-tan's stomach whose upside down line of sigh declared his reverse victory. Understanding this provocation, Ra-chin turned over onto his own back and had his belly rubbed as well. Ellis and Claire were so engrossed into their own conversations they were left completely unaware of the ongoing battle happening right under their noses.
Thus until they arrived at the fishing village, the sight never before seen of a guardian dragon and an invulnerable monster constantly showing their bellies to a couple of little girls continued to unfold.
When the scent of seawater started to fill the air, everyone peeked their heads outside of the carriage windows.
What spread out in front of them was a blue shining sea.
Ellis hadn't visited the sea since her elementary school excursion back in Eiji's world, and she had never felt any need to go back. As far as she was aware, there was nothing fun there she wanted to do.
But right now was different.
Excitement started to well up in her chest as she muttered to herself, "Let's really enjoy the ocean!"
It was only a short while later that the carriage was able to arrive at the naming fishing village where Katie's parents lived. It had some spectacular scenery that was the exact opposite of how the ocean looked from a distance. There were numerous flimsy looking huts that looked like they would collapse after the first strong wind spread out around the muddy ground. A few small fish and other dead animal carcasses lined the streets creating the unique smell of the beach and old fish for everyone to enjoy.
Ellis couldn't help but frown in spite of herself. But Katie didn't seem to notice her friends' reactions or the smell as she immediately headed towards a specific shack.
"Pa, are you still alive nya?"
As she started banging on the door hard enough that Ellis thought she was going to knock it in, a large cat man soon came out looking irritated. The hair covering his body was as black as soot and his expression was engraved with a number of deep wrinkles.
"What gya, why are you back here now Katie gya?"
Her father spoke gruffly and didn't give the warmest welcome he could have, but Katie didn't seem to mind it and started talking regardless.
"Since the dragon in the hills is gone, I came here to do trade for Warren nya. I came to tell you about it nya. You should go grab the other villagers now nya."
"Gya! Is that true!?"
It turns out Katie's father is the village chief for this village.
Katie's father Gatis¹ immediately spread the word to the villagers and instructed them to all gather at the beach.
Ellis's group looked out over the ocean while they waited. The white sandy beach was fine to the touch and spread out with an almost 300 meter width. At its north side was a steep cliff and to the south was a more rocky area.
"Maria, does everything look all right?"
Ellis walked over to try and get Maria's impressions, but the guild master remained silent. Instead she looked out over the gentle movement of the waves while blocking some of the sun off her face and enjoyed that cool ocean breeze. She might not have said anything out loud, but in her heart, Maria was thinking, "Ellis is a genius."
Soon all of the villagers had gathered with them on the beach. Even though they say all of them, their total number amounted to less than a hundred people, and every single one of them was a cat-like beastman.
On behalf of those villagers, Gatis tried to confirm with Katie. Was the dragon truly dead? But Ellis replied for her. She explained to him that they had actually chosen the path of coexistence rather than destruction. She then placed Ra-chin on the beach's sand and chanted out {Reset Body}.
The Land Dragon's body shimmered white and regained his gigantic size, but almost predictably, a panic ran through the crowd of villagers. Gatis looked like his black fur was about to turn white, and the only reason why nobody had started running away yet was because they were too afraid to move.
"Everyone, look at this nya!"
To try and calm them all down, Katie yelled out as loud as she could. She had jumped on top of Ra-chin's head, straddling him like you would a horse.
Unfortunately at the same time, a voice spoke directly into each villagers' consciousness.
"I am sorry for any problems I have caused. I have made a contract with this blonde-haired girl and become a guardian dragon to Warren, so I beg for your forgiveness."
It goes without saying that it took quite awhile to gather all of the fleeing villagers back together after that.
1. I feel like right now is a good time to just point out that in romaji, the cat people Katie's name looks like Kyati, Mati's name looks like Myati, and Gatis's name looks like Gyatis, so there is a running gag there with all of their names sounding cat-like.

This is the first time a British government has released an annual report. 'We hired [freelance photographer] Richard Baker to go around the country taking pictures of people and ask them to write down their opinions of the Government. We then superimposed that writing on to their pictures and used it as a central feature of the report,' says Johnson Banks design director Michael Johnson. He describes the project as a kind of balancing act, between looking back and looking forward, and between information, design and readability.

Wellesley Jewish Alums Stop Donations After Hillel Firings
Grads of women's college irked by layoff of two Jewish leaders as part of so-called 'restructuring' move – while anti-Israel sentiments are being fanned by a pro-Palestinian group on campus.

NEW YORK – The furor that greeted a Wellesley College decision to dismiss the two Hillel professionals at the prestigious women's college, in the middle of the semester and when anti-Israel activity is increasing on campus, took administrators there by surprise.

Hysteria over Wellesley firings is cover for denial and delusion
On November 12, administration officials abruptly fired Patti Scheinman, director of the Jewish student organization's Wellesley chapter, and David Bernat, the Jewish chaplain, offering only "restructuring" as the reason. As a result of the outcry, both on campus and off, the college administration says it has launched a search for an interim campus rabbi.
The move particularly dismayed Jewish students, who said they feel they have been left on their own to deal with campus activity that some say has crossed a line from anti Israel and anti-Zionism, to anti-Semitism.
In addition, some loyal alumnae, upset about the lack of transparency and suddenness of the firings — which Wellesley staff and faculty insist were not related to the uptick in anti-Israel activity on campus, and whose timing is coincidental — said they were withholding donations in response.

On Sunday night, dean of students Debra DeMeis, who was responsible for firing the two Jewish professionals, sent out an email announcing that the college will employ an interim rabbi before a new, permanent one is hired. Her email also included the most direct language to date, acknowledging the vulnerability that Jewish students – who comprise about 10 percent of the Wellesley student body of 2,474 – are feeling. The email was co-signed by Nancy Kolodny, an emerita chemistry professor.
"Following the events in Israel this summer and recently, the discourse on many college campuses has been inflammatory and destructive," their email says, adding, "It has contributed to a heightened sense of vulnerability among Jewish students, and others, and created a culture of fear and avoidance, rather than productive engagement."
Wellesley President H. Kim Bottomly sent an email Friday to the entire campus community calling for "reasoned discourse," on a "diversity of ideas and perspectives [including] a wide range of challenging opinions." Without naming individuals or groups, she said, "In light of recent world events, as well as those on campus, I strongly reaffirm these values."
DeMeis and Kolodny also sent an email Friday, to the entire campus community, about the firing of the two Jewish staffers, explaining that, "We believe that it is time to return to having a Rabbi anchor Jewish life on campus." It also obliquely referred to recent confrontations between members of the new chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine and pro-Israel Jewish students, who say the SJP's activities make them feel unsafe.
"These are critical times for Jewish life on all college campuses. Wellesley stands strong in its commitment to creating an environment in which all students feel comfortable participating in the open exchange of ideas and views," wrote DeMeis and Kolodny in that email.
When the academic year began, SJP hung up posters on dining-hall walls of children killed in the Gaza Strip this summer during the Israel-Hamas conflict. Among them was a poster in the student center asking "What does Zionism mean to you?" There was a blank space for students to add their responses to the question, under which appeared the phrase: "Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and racism will not be tolerated."
Nevertheless, the first things people wrote in answer to the question about Zionism were "genocide," "apartheid" and "murder." Additional associations were written in later, some positive and others negative.
Meanwhile, members of Wellesley's new SJP group (national SJP sources will not say how many chapters there are on American campuses) withdrew from a long-standing dialogue that has been conducted in recent years at the college about Israel/Palestine. In addition, they invited anti-Zionist speakers to campus who have, according to pro-Israel students, equated being a Jew of conscience with being anti-Zionist.
With regard to the firings earlier this month, DeMeis told Haaretz that the administration prefers that ordained clergy work with the Wellesley Jewish community. The move had been in the works since last spring, she explained, and was made after consulting with several Jewish faculty members. DeMeis said her goal is to have a full time rabbi on staff by next August.
Broken-off dialogue
Wellesley's SJP chapter currently has a dozen active members, and a total of about 50 other students are involved, said one co-founder. The student, a senior Middle Eastern Studies major, worried about her future job prospects, asked not to be identified. She did say the chapter has a handful of "very vocal" Jewish members.
Previously, pro-Palestinian students had participated in a campus dialogue group with pro-Israel students, moderated by Wellesley's office of religious and spiritual life, but it pulled out of it early in the year. We "felt condescended and disrespected by the students who made it imperative that we engage," according to the SJP founder, who agreed only to correspond by email with Haaretz. The group has decided to focus on building their new chapter, and want "to prioritize public rather than private dialogue," and divorce religion from political issues, she wrote.
Asked if the decision not to participate in the dialogue is related to the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement's so-called anti-normalization philosophy, with respect to ties with Jewish and pro-Israel groups, the senior wrote: "We fear that attempts of normalization can simplify the issue and create an illusion that everything is 'equal and balanced' " when in their perspective, it is not.
Wellesley's SJP will only engage again in dialogue if several conditions are met, she wrote: if it takes place within the framework of a public, "politically recognized" event, and if all participants agree that Israel's "occupation and colonization of all Arab lands" should be ended, that "the [separation] wall dismantled," that the "fundamental rights to full equality of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel" be recognized, and that the Palestinian refugee's right of return be "respected, protected and promoted."
Asked if by "all Arab lands," SJP means the State of Israel, the student declined to be specific. "Defining 'all Arab lands' would be an overstepping of our bounds as a solidarity organization," she wrote.
At present, Hillel International is working closely with Wellesley officials to find a full-time rabbi, said David Eden, Hillel's chief administrative officer. "In the meantime, as we do with many campuses experiencing increased anti-Israel activity this semester, we will be sending people and resources there to help our Jewish students."
Asked for details, Eden wrote that members of Hillel International's "new Israel team" will go to Wellesley after Thanksgiving. He did not respond to requests for more information.
For their part, both dean DeMeis and a Wellesley spokeswoman declined to say how many phone calls and emails they got from alumnae about the layoffs of the campus Hillel head and the chaplain.
Dismayed alumnae
Haaretz has learned that some Jewish alumnae of the college, among them women living in Israel, are dissatisfied. Some are withholding donations in protest.
"I am absolutely dismayed with the messages being sent out – the timing and the language – from the college. To my mind they are grossly inadequate and a poor attempt to placate the alumnae," said Rachel Mann Gould, class of 2001, and a Yokneam resident, who has chosen to stop her contributions for now.
The fact that the staffers have been "terminated is unfortunate and the college has handled it poorly at best," Gould told Haaretz.
"That said, their terminations are not rooted in anti-Semitism, and attempting to link the two together is counter-productive. However, at the same time, the whole issue of the restructuring at Hillel on campus is raising a whole host of memories and experiences for alumnae that have and [yet] have not been addressed by the college and are tied to anti-Semitism. So," she added, "there is a connection, but no causation or correlation" between the Hillel firings and increase in anti-Israel activity.
Gould declined to specify how much she gives Wellesley, but said she has directed gifts from Intel, her husband's employer, to Hillel's endowment and annual programming. Since graduating, she has also chaired class fundraising and is now class secretary. "I have always given gifts to the college since graduating," she said.
Heather Stone, a 1985 Wellesley graduate and an attorney living in Tel Aviv, told Haaretz: "I am disappointed that the college administration's reactions to the alumnae have been statements that should have been sent proactively and not retroactively.
"If the best interests of the students were really at the heart of the college's decision, transparent communication and a transition period that fostered trust on the part of the Jewish students should have been ensured," said Stone, adding, "I have informed the Wellesley Fund that I will not be giving to them until this is resolved and greater transparency has been obtained."
As disturbing as the anti-Israel activity is to some Wellesley students and alumnae, Prof. Larry Rosenwald, who has taught at the college for 34 years, is relieved that students are engaging with any political issue at all.
Rosenwald, who is director of the college's Peace and Justice Studies, was one of the faculty members consulted when DeMeis considered firing the two Jewish leaders on campus.
"I like civil and vigorous discourse," said Rosenwald, who says that there is usually a feeling of apathy. "When many potentially conversation-creating events have happened in the Middle East and elsewhere, our capacity for dialogue has seemed to be exhausted so nobody on campus was saying anything."
He added: "I saw a couple of the [SJP] posters. They're provocative. But they are also, in my view, protected speech. Part of me wishes that Wellesley Friends of Israel had put up posters asking about Hamas rockets, or with pictures of Israelis killed in the war."
"The energy at SJP interests me," he told Haaretz. "I want to have a genuine public conversation. I prefer that to the silence we've had over the last few years."
The environment around Israel-related issues is no different today, said class of 2001 graduate Miriam Berkowitz Blue, from when she was a Wellesley student. People "didn't feel comfortable putting an Israeli flag in the Hillel lounge. And that was during peacetime," said Blue, who lives in the Boston area. "Israel has never been a popular subject at Wellesley."
Judy Maltz adds: On Monday, Eric Fingerhut, the president of Hillel International, defended the decision by Wellesley College to oust two representatives of the Jewish student organization, stressing that the move was meant to enable the hiring of a full-time rabbi on campus.
"I believe that the college is wanting to strengthen Jewish life on campus by moving to a model based on the full-time professional support of a rabbi on campus, which other schools have," he told Haaretz.
Fingerhut said, however, that the replacement of the Hillel representatives on campus "certainly wasn't handled as well as it could've been."
Israel occupation


When I moved house earlier this year, we were without internet service in our new home for several weeks. For the first time in quite a long time, my iPhone was not using a Wi-Fi connection during the day, causing me to truly understand just how much data I send and receive from my phone. I hit the cap of my data allowance for one billing period, and felt the pain of being rate-limited for a large stretch of time. However, during those few weeks I learned how to painlessly (i.e. barely noticably) reduce my cell data usage. Here are some tips from my experience that will hopefully be of help should you find yourself without Wi-Fi and concerned about burning through your iPhone's data allowance.
1. Turn off cellular data permission for some apps.
In the Settings app, select Cellular from the main menu, then scroll down a bit. You'll see a section called "Cellular Data" listing all of your apps and a bunch of switches. Turn the switch off (white) for any apps that you would like to prevent from using your cell data. For apps with the switch turned off, it will appear as though you have no data connection until you're on Wifi.
As you can see from my screenshot, I disable cell data for a lot of the games my kids play. I like to be agressive disabling cell data; I turn off cellular-data access, and turn it back on when I realize that I need to use that app while outside of my house or workplace.
This is actually a tip from a previous article on extending your iPhone's battery charge. Check out tip number three from that article to learn to reduce the frequency that your iPhone syncs your email.
Another tip from our series on extending your iPhone's battery charge, reducing the number of apps asking for your location (and uploading it to a server) will remove more excess data-usage. Check out tip number seven from that article to learn how to disable location services for individual apps.


4. What is the impact of agreements on that collaboration?
5. What is the influence of culture on agreements between Americans and Germans?
Fourth, estimate the impact of agreements on collaboration. That impact may vary depending on the nature of collaboration of a given success factor. Agreements in one area of collaboration may be more important than in another area.
This gives you a $ or € number for the impact of agreements on collaboration for that success factor. In other words, you have quantified topic of agreements contribution to collaboration.
Fifth, and finally, estimate the influence of culture on agreements.
Keep in mind that collaboration between Americans and Germans requires not only the willingness and the ability to, among other things, enter and fullfill agreements. Most importantly, it requires that the two cultures understand the fundamental differences in how they understand agreements.
Assign a % to each success factor. Then multiply that % by the degree to which collaboration is impacted by agreements, as quantified in Step 4.
This gives you a $ or € number for the influence of culture on agreements for that success factor. In other words, you have quantified culture's contribution to agreements.


I want to control the bandwidth between two computers, one is the client and another is th e server. The server sends image data to the client. But I don't know how to control the bandwidth between them. Are there any popular tools from which I can begin? I think the traffic control should be very easy in my application.. I am running programs in Linux.
Well you can give a try with CBQ bandwidth mngt .

The Women of NASA Have Been Transformed into LEGO Minifigs
by Chip Chick July 21, 2016, 7:02 pm
Lego did right by everyone when they started up Lego Ideas. Lego fans can submit their own dream sets (and possibly get a bit of cash if they become real), Lego has an endless supply of creative suggestions, and we all get some awesome new sets out of it in the end. The fan submission site has been responsible for Doctor Who sets and, more recently, buildable figures for Adventure Time. Today, we're seeing a new submission that we hope hits that all-important 10,000 supporter threshold, ASAP — a set of five minifigures celebrating some of the most prominent women in NASA history.
The submission contains minifigs for Sally Ride, Margaret Hamilton, Katherine Johnson, Mae Jemison, and Nancy Grace Roman, all of whom broke barriers and advanced the mission of space travel in their own ways. Sally Ride was the first woman in space, while Mae Jemison was the first African-American woman in space, there for her abilities as a doctor. Katherine Johnson and Nancy Grace Roman were instrumental in the Apollo and Mercury missions and the Hubble Space Telescope, respectively. Margaret Hamilton worked on in-flight software for the Apollo 11 moon landing mission. That's a long way of saying they're all very, very deserving of being immortalized in Lego form.
The proposed set would come with a display plate and tiny buildable figures of the space shuttle and the Hubble Space Telescope, along with small mission control and lab settings. It looks amazing, and we want it pretty much now. We're not too far away from jamming the refresh button on the Lego Ideas page, watching the supporter count.
The submission comes from a familiar place — user 20tauri, better known as Maia Weinstock. We also fell in love with another of her submissions last year — the Lego Supreme Court Bench, which featured four Lego minifigs for former and current women on the Supreme Court. That included a phenomenal minifig for Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but sadly, Weinstock had to turn the minifigs into unspecified women because of Lego's rule against making political figures (sadness). That submission and the new NASA idea are both looking for supporters, so head over to Lego Ideas and click those buttons if you want these sets to become real!

One of my favorite summahtime memories was in college. I got a job on a film set in Maryland for a few days and instead of flying, which they offered, I took it as an opportunity to go on a solo road-trip through the south.
It wasn't too far, actually, maybe six or seven hours. And instead of opting for highway only, I went for the route that took me on a lot of one lane roads, running straight through a bunch of small towns in North Carolina and Virginia.
I packed a large sweet tea, made a super long mix-CD and filled up my Jetta.
Nothing crazy happened. I stopped off at a diner, had hoecakes and ate Western North Carolina BBQ. At dusk, fireflies helped light up the roads. I listened to music my parents did. But mostly I remember thinking that everyone seemed so happy and normal and maybe this whole idea of moving to Los Angeles to work in the film industry, which is inherently sort of abnormal, was maybe flawed. Maybe they had it right and I had it all wrong.
In another world, I'm a southern grandmother who'd love nothing more than to invite you into my rambling old house, offering sweet tea and using the persuasion of pie as a way to force you into listening to the stories of my youth. I'm probably dressed in a mumu, a floral mumu, and my house shoes are actually cute. And let's be honest, I probably don't have a corgi, but instead some sort of mangy, one-eyed lapdog. He's cute.
If I did a good job and talked you into staying for dinner, there'd be some sort of salad with buttermilk ranch dressing and my absolute favorite…spoon bread. I love traditional-straight-up-no-twist spoon bread. It's fluffy and custardy and if you make it at the right season (read: late summer), it's sweet and rich. I love the addition of cheddar cheese and charred corn. But my absolute favorite is the sweet corn-spiked milk that is the base of this recipe. It makes it delicious. I mean, it's practically drinkable.
If I did my job, you'll want to make this dish in a mumu with rollers in your hair. I support this. Here's the link on PBS Food.

The interface on the monitor, aka the parent unit, is basic, simple, and intuitive, while many of its competitors have awkward controls. When panning and tilting the camera, for example, the Infant Optics responds immediately and can move in very small increments. The text on the menu displays look like something off an old Motorola RAZR, but the commands are easy to interpret and less confusing than those of some competitors. A group of four buttons makes it easy to pull up the menu and make a change (to the volume, say) without losing sight of the image on the screen. Other nice minor touches, like a display that constantly notes the temperature in the baby's room, appear on this model but not on all of its competitors. This is not a touchscreen, but frankly, if you've ever used an iPhone, you'll find the touchscreens on most baby monitors to be sorely substandard.
The Samsung's display, at 5 inches, is among the largest and crispest you'll find on a baby monitor. However, the touchscreen response is sluggish, which makes it difficult to smoothly pan or tilt the camera. And when you pull up the menu, you lose the video and the audio output—that's a weakness compared with our pick, which continues to display video and play sound while navigating menu functions.
The Motorola MBP853CONNECT is a Wi-Fi® video baby monitor that enables you to keep an eye on things while at home on the handheld parent unit and away on compatible smartphones, tablets, and computers. A full-color, 3.5" diagonal LCD display shows real-time video and sound from your baby's room, and the Hubble app for iOS and Android features live video streaming and sound, motion, and room temperature notifications.
Motorola's greatest strength is its out-of-the-box usability. Like the comparable VTech Monitor, it's perfect if you want to use the monitor mostly in-home. Leave the camera pointing at your child, run to the next room to do a little work, and you've got a screen right there with two-way audio and night vision. You can even pan and tilt the camera using the base station, albeit with noticeable latency.
Parents are spoiled for choice nowadays, thanks to the rise of the connected home and new technologies like live-streaming video and high-resolution cameras. No matter which type of baby monitor you buy — whether it be an old-school audio-only monitor or a fancy Wi-Fi video monitor — it will have two parts: a monitor in the baby's room and a receiver that you carry around with you to hear and/or view your baby.
While the price is too high compared with our other picks to merit a recommendation, the Arlo Baby by Netgear Smart HD Baby Monitor and Camera does have some appeal, mostly because it overcomes some of the traditional shortcomings of Wi-Fi monitors and security cameras used for that purpose. Its main advantage is that its app can continue to play audio even if the app is not open in the foreground of your mobile device. This means it can continue to broadcast sounds from a baby's room while parents sleep elsewhere, alerting them if there's trouble (as a traditional monitor would), without the hassle of loading the live stream every time. It also offers some unique features: The camera itself can work wirelessly off a rechargeable battery (which no other monitor we've tested can do), and it can track and chart several days' worth of temperature and other environmental data in a child's room. These features alone don't justify its added cost—the current price is about $100 more than that of either our pick or the least-bad Wi-Fi monitor we've tested—but that cost may be easier to swallow if you're already using other Arlo devices, which we began recommending as a runner-up in our piece on indoor security cameras in fall 2016. As with most Wi-Fi monitors, owner reviews note problems with the signal dropping out, sluggish response time when opening the video on an app, and other irritations, such as problems seeing the feed on multiple devices.
Well-suited for parents with on-the-go lifestyles, Motolora's Wireless Digital Video Baby Monitor consists of a battery-powered parent unit with a color video LCD display with microphone and a convenient clip-on attachment, as well as a jack-powered baby unit with a night vision camera and a built-in microphone and speaker. The parent unit is an optimal monitoring device for parents who work from or stay at home, but cannot always be in the same room as a napping or sleeping infant. So whether you're working on a project for work or catching up on laundry or cooking dinner, the parent unit gives you the flexibility to see and hear your baby even while you're moving around. Furthermore, the baby unit features a temperature sensor that can alert you when your baby's room gets too hot or too cold, as well as a built-in microphone and speaker that allow you to both listen and talk to your baby. Also, the baby unit plugs into a wall outlet and can be easily moved from a nursery to a playroom as your baby grows older. Along with the two-unit wireless baby monitor, a rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack, battery door, belt clip/stand and two power adapters are also included.
The Levana Lila video product is a dedicated camera and parent unit which means you don't need to tie up your personal device or use the internet. This option is user-friendly and has a respectable range that could work for most average size homes. The Lila has long-lasting battery life and a reasonable price with fewer features than much of the competition, but that is part of what makes it easy enough for grandma to use.
The Nanit couldn't be more perfect for analytical types. The camera—when placed just so—uses computer vision to watch your baby's every move, and then tell you what it means. You get a notice on your phone, which acts like a handheld monitor, when your child is awake, acting fussy or has fallen asleep. The Nanit also assigns a sleep score to each night based on how many hours your child was actually crashed out. Other stats include how many times you went into your child's room and how long it took for your little one to fall asleep. Because the Nanit streams live video and audio to your phone, you can also check in on your kiddo when you're away from home. It also has a nightlight and temperature and humidity sensors.
Winner of this year's JPMA innovation award for safety, the Nanit Smart Baby Monitor is an over-the-crib Wi-Fi video monitor that uses computer vision technology to track a baby's sleep habits/patterns and provide data-crazed parents with stats and customized sleep tips in the morning, most of which are written by medical professionals. The only catch is that to receive these reports and tips, you need to pay $100 a year for Nanit Insights, the company's subscription-based service. For parents who'd rather not pay the monthly fee, Nanit is still a sleek HD video monitor with night vision, one-way audio, and a soft glow LED nightlight.
Child Safety: We care a lot about the safety and well-being of your babies, and our baby monitor reviews are no exception to that rule. Most of the safety issues with baby monitor systems revolve around the parent's due diligence: secure the wires out of reach and out of sight from your baby, make sure you put the camera out of reach (especially when you're mounting to the rail of a crib), and always keep them away from water and a running humidifier. In addition to these basic safety tips, the newer heart rate monitoring, breathing monitoring, and movement monitoring systems can add confidence to parents worried about their baby sleeping in a different room. A good example of a baby monitor with heart rate monitoring is the Owlet Smart Sock that can track heart rate and blood oxygenation levels, and stream that information to an app on your smart phone. Of course, don't be too confident because these devices are not hospital- or laboratory-grade monitoring systems, so keep that in mind.
Whether you allow others one-time or occasional access to enjoy a special moment or you establish a schedule during which a regular caregiver can view and listen through the monitor, the process of controlling access is equally easy. Now, what if your baby or toddler just did something super cute when no one else had access? No worries, you can share video clips or stills right over the web.
If you sleep in the same room as your baby or live in a small enough space that you can always hear or see what your baby is up to, you probably don't need a monitor. Otherwise, most parents enjoy the convenience a baby monitor provides—instead of needing to stay close to the nursery or constantly checking on your child, you're free to rest, catch up on Netflix or get things done around the house during naptime. Monitors can also double as a nanny cam to keep an eye on your child and their caretaker.
The audio is quite good as well, with very little distortion. As with other Wi-Fi video baby monitors, there is lag as the video stream travels through distant servers before reaching your smartphone. In our tests, the SCD860 had good results one moment and issues shortly after. This is one of the reasons we gave it a low score for connection quality. A few of our testers had trouble setting up this baby camera using the smartphone app. The camera doesn't work without a wireless connection, unlike traditional video baby monitors that use a handheld receiver. The app is easy to use, and it lets you set up push notifications and adjust the sound sensitivity. We had a few connection issues independent of our Wi-Fi connection, which could cause concern. For a time, we had no connection, so we didn't know what was going on in the other room. This monitor lets you track the temperature and humidity in your baby's room and has a nightlight with multiple light color options. If your baby is upset, you can use the app to talk to them or play one of the 10 lullabies through the camera's speaker. The Philips Avent Smart baby monitor SCD860 has a two-year warranty, which is the longest of all the models we tested.
This camera is awesome! This is the third camera I purchased, I returned the other two because I was unable to set them up. The only difference with this one is that the instructions actually walked me through the issue that I was having getting it to work with my router. Once I was able to get it set up, it has worked with no issues. I use it daily to check on my pups while I am away. I highly recommend this!
This type of monitoring device attaches to your baby via their diaper, clothing or as a sock depending on the model. Most of the wearable options alert in the room and only a handful send a message to a parent device (smartphone or similar). In our experience, many of these have high false alarms from moving and crawling babies or high Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Levels (which we try to avoid). The Snuzo Hero SE is a cost-effective wearable with a unique vibration feature and very low levels of EMF.
Every parent we spoke to agreed. A video monitor is the way to go. It's the difference between getting up to check on your baby because you thought you heard a noise or glancing at a screen to see if you really need to get out of bed. Video monitors are useful well into the toddler years, too. That screen can help you decide whether you need to step in and comfort your child, or if you can wait out a tantrum.
See more with the only high definition 720p resolution camera that uses less WiFi, data and power than other video baby monitors. This means you can stream live video without any of the lag of other WiFi video baby monitors. A 130° super wide angle minimizes blind spots so you can get a full view of the nursery or crib without panning and tilting. The camera's ultra-clear night vision lets you see the full view, even in the darkest of rooms, unlike other video baby monitors, which offer a narrower field of view.
The Infant Optics DXR-8's interchangeable optical lens, which allows for customized viewing angles, truly sets this monitor apart. It gives the option of focusing in on a localized area or taking in the whole room. Couple that with the remote pan/tilt control and night vision and you've got a monitoring system that not only grows along with your baby, but one that can be adjusted to follow her around the room as she plays. Parents can calm their baby with the two-way talk feature and monitor the temperature to make sure the baby is safe and secure.
As you'd expect, the talk back functionality and audio quality in general are great—easily better than the crude talk back features on our video monitor picks. With the battery lasting about 19 hours on a full charge, this monitor had the strongest battery life of any in our test (not entirely a fair comparison, as this is the only one with no screen to power). Rated to a range of 1,000 feet, it exceeds the range of our pick (700 feet) both as advertised and in practice during tests.
Don't be fooled by its cute looks and adorable green bunny ears: Netgear's Arlo Baby is a very capable baby monitor that delivers sharp video of your nursery to your smartphone. The Arlo Baby includes features such as night vision, temperature and air quality sensors, a color-changing nightlight and a speaker that can play lullabies. All of this is very easy to manage thanks to a well-designed mobile app.
Another prominent Wi-Fi–enabled monitor is the Withings Home video monitor, which we dismissed without testing. This is The Nightlight's pick for the best video monitor. The most notable drawback to the Withings is that currently more than a third of Amazon reviewers give it two or fewer stars (out of five), citing problems similar to what you see on most other Wi-Fi video monitors: bad connectivity, a bad picture, unreliable air-quality sensors, and issues with overall quality and durability. In reply to some of the negative reviews, Nokia stated that it was looking into making improvements to this model. The rebranded version, the Nokia Home Video & Air Quality Monitor, was recently released and has not yet received many reviews (the app has mixed reviews).
Using the buttons, you can swivel the DXR-8's camera (so you can eyeball more of the room) and zoom in close. It actually comes with two interchangeable lenses – a standard and a zoom lens – and you can also buy a separate Infant Optics Wide Angle Lens (Est. $12), all of which can be used with the zoom button. This gives you lots of flexibility when deciding where to mount your camera, Baby Bargains points out. "Depending on the configuration of your nursery, your only option may be to put the camera on a dresser across from the crib -- then the normal lens might do. But if you mount the camera on a wall above the crib, the zoom lens might be better." Later, if you use the monitor in a toddler's room or playroom, the wide-angle lens might be the best choice.
Many parents find that a basic sound product more than meets their needs. They plan to run to baby's aid each time they hear them cry, and they don't need to spy on their baby with video. Using a sound option is the cheapest way to go to get a quality product that works well. However, if you need or want to see your baby, then a video option is the only way to meet this need. Choosing a Wi-Fi option means no concerns about range, the ability to see your baby when you are away from home, and usually better image quality. Wi-Fi also means you'll be able to use it for longer as potential security or nanny cam; this adds value you may not be considering right now (but should). Movement monitoring options are a luxury that most parents can do without. If you're worried about your little one and SIDs, studies show that having a baby sleep in their own bed in your room (along with standard safe sleep practices) goes a long way in helping to prevent SIDs and could potentially be more effective than movement monitoring. Choosing a great beside bassinet may be a better solution than a movement product. However, if your heart wants a movement product, then be sure to consider a sound or video option to pair with it so you can be sure to hear the alarm from another room.
Historically speaking, baby monitors and wireless video systems have been notorious for indiscriminately sharing radio frequencies with other gadgets, meaning neighbors might have been able to eavesdrop on the things going on inside your house. Modern-day video monitors are smart enough to find the best frequencies to avoid interference and encrypt the signal from camera to monitor for standalone units or camera to router to online for smartphone-based monitors. Almost every model supports the option to add a second camera if you'd like to monitor another room, too.
If you're absolutely sure you want a Wi-Fi–enabled baby monitor, we found the iBaby M6S to be the best option of the three we tested (the others were the Arlo Baby by Netgear and the Evoz Glow Baby Monitor). The iBaby offers the benefits common to most Wi-Fi monitors and is slightly easier to set up than its competitors. But like its competitors, it shares the significant drawbacks, noted above, that we believe make RF monitors a better choice overall.
The MBP853CONNECT's remote pan, tilt, and zoom function gives you a 300 degree view of your child's room, while infrared night vision helps you see your little one in low light levels. Communicate with your baby from anywhere with the convenient two-way communication feature. An integrated temperature sensor enables you to keep an eye on the room temperature from the parent unit or receive free alerts to your device if the room gets too hot or too cold. Choose from five integrated lullabies that help keep your baby calm and relaxed, soothing them back to sleep.
Your baby needs constant attention, but you can't be in its room every hour of every day. That's what baby monitors are for. What started as audio-only infant care devices to let you listen in on your child from another room, have since added video cameras and connected features to the mix so you can always keep an eye on your little one. There are still some great audio monitors out there—here we're focusing on models that also provide some form of video feed.
The Nest Cam Indoor Wi-Fi tied for the high score in this review with the iBaby M6S Wi-Fi. This monitor earned the high score for video quality, range, and battery life, with second place scores for ease of use and features. Its impressive performance helped it win the Top Pick award for Long-term Use. The Nest is a cool surveillance camera you can use to watch your baby, but given that it isn't specifically designed with baby in mind, it lacks some of the fun features parents may want like lullabies and nightlight. The Nest Cam offers motion detection, sound activation, 2-way talk to baby, and 8x digital zoom. The Nest Cam camera can not be controlled remotely, but instead relies on a large field of view you can zoom into and then search in a way that looks similar to pan and tilt. The downside to this camera is it does not continue to monitor if you use another app or take a phone call making it hard to use full time if you only have one device, so we recommend using a device other than your phone for consistent baby viewing. The Nest Cam is the most expensive Wi-Fi monitor in the group, but it is still cheaper than 3 of the dedicated monitors, and its long-term use possibilities make it an investment we think parents will use for years to come as a nanny cam, home security feature, or checking in on pets.
The MPB36S has everything you might want in a video baby monitor. You don't have to squint to see your baby because the LCD screen is a large 3.5 inches and shows a clear color picture. Alongside the screen, there are buttons that let you pan the camera from side to side and tilt it up and down to see every angle of the room. The zoom feature lets you get up close to make sure your baby is safe and fast asleep. You can soothe your baby by choosing among five pre-loaded lullabies or talking directly into the microphone.
Beyond security, Wi-Fi monitors have other disadvantages. In our tests, connectivity was more of an issue with Wi-Fi monitors than it was with RF monitors. We tested our Wi-Fi monitors on two separate routers and consistently had problems—we'd often lose the connection some time in the night and not even realize that the monitor had disconnected until morning. This happened with all three Wi-Fi models we tested. We never really felt confident relying on any of the connected monitors overnight, despite the fact that the modem and router were literally on the other side of a wall from the monitor. Other owners (like this one) have had the same issues.
"I love this system and how it allows us to monitor the baby so well! The cameras are easy to install and set up with Wi-Fi and you can mount the cameras over the crib. This allows a full body view that a lot of monitors can't offer. The clarity of the picture (that you get from an app on your smart phone) is amazing and the automatic night vision mode makes seeing baby any time of the day simple--you can check on baby anywhere your smart phone is. I love how versatile this system is and that we can move the cameras anywhere--which means we can use them after baby is out of the crib. It's a great investment for any family and I highly recommend it."
【EXCELLENT 1080P FULL HD VIDEO】345° horizontal & 90° vertical rotation range create a complete 360° coverage, Stunning HD Video Quality with 1920 x 1080p present you a crystal clear picture with sharper details than 720P security camera system surveillance to know what is happening when you are not at home. Supports SD Card, Phone, Tablet and PC for Storing and Reviewing.
The iBaby M6S Wi-Fi is the number one video monitor out of the 9 competitors in this review. This monitor earned top scores for range, ease of use, features, and battery life with a second-place score for video quality. The iBaby's impressive performance during testing and subsequent overall high score resulted in it winning an Editors' Choice award for best Wi-Fi monitor. This cool Wi-Fi product is the only one we tested specifically designed with baby in mind. It features humidity, temperature, and air quality sensors to help ensure baby stays cozy, and it comes with 10 lullabies and the ability to add your own music and voice. The iBaby is easy to use, has true to life images, and works as it should. It offers sound activation, motion detection, 2-way talk to baby, and a remote control camera. The iBaby will continue to monitor baby even with another app running. If that weren't enough, this fun looking camera has a reasonable price point, coming in cheaper than half the competition we reviewed.
Are you a Mac fan? If so, you'll love the amazing functionality and ease of use provided by the Cloud Baby Monitor app—which turns your iPhone, iPad or computer into a monitor with just one download. At just $4, a fraction of the price of traditional baby monitors, the Cloud Baby app brings you a host of functionality at the touch of a button, including white noise, night light and lullabies—all controlled remotely. But what makes this the best baby monitor app is the high-quality and industry-standard secure audio and video monitoring capabilities.
The Motorola MBP36S ranked with the best video baby monitors in our audio tests. While there was a minor crackle through the baby unit, the connection was strong. We could hear clearly through the parent and baby units. The high-sensitivity microphone produces a lot of noise, though. Even on low volume settings, the parent unit can be a little loud.

The LeFun is an inexpensive Wi-Fi camera that makes internet watching affordable for almost every family. This useful camera works with your personal device and is the only option here that features true pan and scan features to move the camera around the room remotely. The image quality is also impressive given the lower price and simple design. This camera is a good choice if your house is bigger or you'll be spanning more than 3-5 walls between rooms where range could become an issue.
Technology has changed the way parents monitor their babies. With today's audio and video, parents can keep an ear peeled and an eye out for the most subtle changes in their little ones.

Don't make the same mistake I did! We have the MBP36S baby monitor that we purchased in 2016. I dropped the parent piece into the bath tub and needed to replace it. So I came here and bought the same monitor, same model number, to replace my water logged version. After trying to pair the device with our existing cameras, I had no luck. Called Motorola and they tell me that the new version of this monitor (same exact model number) isn't compatible with the previous models. They're only compatible with the new version. It got even more confusing from there...He said there's still older versions for sale and you can tell the version by the model number on the inside of the device under the battery. SO moral of the story is, there's no way when buying this monitor to know which version of the MBP36S you're getting. So if you're buying this to work with additional cameras, proceed with caution. Motorola - you really should have just changed the model number. Problem solved.
When shopping for baby monitor, try to choose a product that offers both quality and security. For best results, opt for a model that offers both audio and video capabilities. You should be able to see and hear your baby in real time and also talk back to them as needed. Baby monitors can vary dramatically in quality, but today's models offer stunning HD video that ensures you can see your baby's surroundings with crystal clarity. Purchase the best quality you can afford, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your baby is closely within reach.
The Motorola MBP36S digital video baby monitor features wireless 2.4 GHz FHSS technology, which offers a reliable connection for better range and less chance of a dropped signal. It is equipped with multiple camera viewing with picture-in-picture and auto-switch screen options, allowing you to add additional cameras and keep an eye on the entire family in up to 4 rooms of your home. (Model: MBP36SBU, sold separately.) The superior wireless range of the MBP36S allows you to stay connected to your baby up to 590 feet away.
Using the speaker, you can tell the Project Nursery camera to pan and tilt, play a lullaby, check the temperature in the nursery and more. You can do all this from any room that has an Alexa-powered speaker, so that you don't need to enter the nursery and risk waking up your sleeping baby. If you already own an Echo speaker, Project Nursery sells the Alexa-enabled camera on its own.
Most smartphone-based cameras give you the option to watch video and audio live or receive notification alerts when the camera notices a distinct change in noise levels or motion. This is an effective way to allow you to keep tabs on the little one with the constant tax to your nerves. After you receive the notification, you load the app to listen in on exactly what your camera heard. This takes just moments. In our testing, small noises, like a cough or grunt, didn't generally set off the noise sensor, while cries did. But false positives can and do happen.
Users consistently report being impressed with the crystal-clear quality of the MoonyBaby monitor and the special features this particular model comes equipped with, including a baby room temperature display, zoom capabilities, a talk-back button, long-lasting battery life, and five soothing built-in lullabies. With so many advanced features and the ability to link to up to four cameras at once, it's no wonder the MoonyBaby is on so many parents' wish lists.
Most dual monitors come with split- or even quad-screen viewing, and the DBPower Digital Sound Activated baby monitor does just that. This model supports up to four cameras, allowing you to monitor four rooms at once. With features like remote pan/tilt/zoom, room temperature monitoring and alert, two-way communication and manual or automatic video recording, we found the DBPower to be the best dual baby monitor.

This was my first book I have read of DH Sidebottom and Rebecca Sherwin. This story was a different read for me. It took a bit for me to get into story. Once I did, I grew to like the characters. I enjoyed the story because there was so many twists and turns. I also enjoyed how they described the scenes in vivid detail.
I look forward to reading more books from them.

Base Closure Proposal Faces Uphill Battle
Virginia's Fort Monroe military installation was closed in 2011.
The Defense Department's latest push to persuade Congress to authorize another round of base closures is unlikely to succeed this year, according to analysts.
A recent Pentagon report concluded that the Defense Department has 22 percent excess infrastructure capacity. For the Army and Air Force, the excess is 33 percent and 32 percent, respectively.
"Spending resources on excess infrastructure does not make sense," Deputy Secretary of Defense Bob Work said in a recent letter to lawmakers.
Based on historical trends, another round of base realignment and closure could save the Pentagon $1.5 billion to $3 billion in annual savings in perpetuity once up front costs are paid for, according to Mackenzie Eaglen, a defense budget analyst at the American Enterprise Institute.
"These savings could make a major dent in the need to reinvest in the U.S. military's combat power," she said in an email. The extra funds would be enough for the Air Force to buy five additional F-35s and eight C-130Js; the Navy to purchase 14 additional F/A-18 Super Hornets; or the Army to restore readiness levels, among other procurement options, she noted.
But BRAC is unlikely to be approved by lawmakers in an election year, analysts said. Beyond that, it will continue to be an uphill battle.
"If a new president isn't interested in spending the political capital at the White House to get this through and the new [secretary of defense isn't able] to berate Congress into submission … then it just won't happen," Eaglen said.
Pentagon leaders have threatened to act unilaterally and use existing waiver authorities to close down unneeded facilities. But an end-run around lawmakers would be a difficult proposition.
"While DoD could exercise these waivers, you still have to go through the environmental review process, so that's going to slow you down," said Andrew Hunter, director of the defense-industrial initiatives group at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, during a briefing with reporters. "That gives Congress enough time to come in and pass a law prohibiting this specific action you're taking."
Outside Capitol Hill, there is growing unity within the broader national defense community about the need for BRAC, Eaglen noted. Interested parties are tired of "the death-by-a-thousand-cuts" to military construction accounts — the result of efforts to offset the cost of maintaining excess infrastructure, she said.
"The louder their voices become, the more likely Congress is to act," she said. "But again, this is an open question" as to whether that will happen.
Todd Harrison, a defense budget analyst at CSIS, said the next administration should consider pursuing a different path in the face of congressional intransigence.
"Right now it appears that the politics are not supportive of a base closure commission, so let's find another way forward that doesn't have to use a BRAC-like construct," he said.
The Pentagon could propose smaller sets of closures and provide Congress with a list of specific bases that should be shuttered. That could reduce opposition from some lawmakers who fear that an unpredictable BRAC commission could lead to job losses in their districts, he said.
"It could flip the politics here and make this more appealing to members of Congress if you just go ahead and name the losers up front," he said. If you identify "the congressional districts that are going to lose on this, that implicitly makes everyone else a winner and so then you've got some basis of support."

Independent, broad-minded and creative, affectionate and friendly, yet can be unpredictable and rebellious.
Does this personality description resonate with you? If you're nodding your head, then your birth sign must be Aquarius.
For you, attraction isn't just about looks. You also want your potential partner to be able to stir your mind and excite you. You take time to trust and build up a relationship.

By nature, Pisces are compassionate, adaptive, devoted and imaginative, but can also be indecisive and escapist. This could be a good pairing because they will understand your need for freedom.

Aries personalities are independent, generous and optimistic. However, they can also be moody, self-involved and impatient.

Taurus is potentially the least compatible birth sign for Aquarius.
They are dependable, loyal and generous. Their weaknesses though, are being possessive, stubborn and self-indulging.
Their kindness makes for an excellent friend. However, you'll find that those born under the birth sign of Taurus are not adventurous. Furthermore, you might find their possessiveness difficult to deal with.
Gemini's are energetic, imaginative and adaptable, yet impulsive and restless.
They have a zest for life, and like you, love excitement and trying something new. You might just have found your soul-mate if you date a Gemini!
Loyal, dependable and adaptive are some of the positive characteristics of those born under the sign of Cancer. However, they can also be moody, clingy and self-pitying.
With your independent nature, you might find their strong need to attach themselves to you rather overbearing. Nonetheless, with their adaptive nature and your affection, you might be able to meet each other half way.
You'll be drawn to Leo's ambitious, generous and loyal character. However, their domineering and stubborn streak may be hard for your butterfly spirit to deal with.
This personality is possibly everything that you're not: analytical, precise and inflexible. Though, if you're looking for someone to bring order into your life, it could be a case of opposites attracting. You'll appreciate their helpfulness and reliability, but when you want to be a bit impulsive, will their in-depth analysis drive you to despair?
Easy-going, peaceful and idealistic - you'll love dating a Libra. With their inherent intuition, they'll understand exactly how you're feeling. They also love excitement and new situations, so you won't get bored with them easily!
You might find it hard to cope with Scorpios suspicion and jealousy. However, you'll love their loyalty and resourcefulness. In addition, once you discover their passion and intensity, it will be hard for you to let them go.
You're both independent and innovative. Sagittarius will appreciate your creative ideas, and you'll love their visionary nature. At times they can be unemotional, but this can be a positive trait, as they don't let emotional problems hold them back. As a result, they are well adjusted and flexible, which can make for a great relationship between you two.
Dating a Capricorn can go one of two ways. Either you'll find their dictatorial and unimaginative nature impossible to deal with, or you'll appreciate their loyalty and resourcefulness. If you're patient and see the relationship through, you'll also learn that deep down they are very romantic and loving.
Now that you know which birth signs you are most compatible with, are you ready to find your perfect dating partner? Sign up to Match and start looking for your match made in heaven today!
