Poor sound quality can destroy a phone call in seconds. Often times any interference in sound is due to hardware and accessories dysfunction, low quality, or poor connections to your computer or other devices. Make sure everything is plugged in the right places, check for the sound quality by making test calls, and replace your old hardware periodically, so that your voice is crystal clear. Sometimes, you may even have to make sure that all your software programs are updated, especially if you are using mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets.
If you do not place your mouthpieces (whether a smartphone or a mic) at the correct angle and distance from your mouth, you may either sound like the mic is in your mouth, or you may be barely audible. Make sure that you position your mouthpiece correctly, and run a few test calls and ask your colleagues or employees how you sound. Do this every day until you get the distance and position right, specific to the device you are using.
If your throat goes dry, you will sound hoarse or tired. It is important to keep your hydrated always, especially if you handle a number of calls. Make sure that you drink enough water, eat healthy, and take every step to keep yourself energized and hydrated. The person on the other end of the telephone call will know if you are thirsty, and it does not sound as cute as you may think. Make sure that you are hydrated so that your customer gets to hear you in your best form.
It is said that a customer can sense whether you are smiling or grimacing, when you receive a call. Even if you are not in the mood to smile, relax your facial muscles, and smile so that your voice appears cheerful. After all, when you smile, the sound escapes from your voice box in a different manner than when your facial muscles are contracted. Relaxed facial muscles are known to change the quality of your voice, and this can be recognized by people even without seeing your face.
Getting enough rest is one of the most important things you can do to ensure you sound cheerful on the phone. When you are physically and emotionally tired, you will not sound cheerful. Instead, your voice sounds dull, lethargic, and possibly even annoyed. These negative feelings are transferred to the customer or the caller, who can become distracted by your tone. If you wish to sound great on the phone, you should start getting enough rest in between calls you make and receive. A well-rested person will naturally sound cheerful and friendly, without much effort.
Your next step to sounding great over the phone is to pay attention to the way you pronounce words, especially the ones you use frequently. No matter which part of the world you are from, pronouncing English words the way they are supposed to makes a huge difference in being comprehensible to your customer. Grab Daniel Jones' Pronunciation Dictionary and keep it at your desk all the time. The book teaches you how to pronounce every word in both American and British accents, while also providing information about various other available pronunciations.
If you sound like you are in a hurry, your caller can tell. You may be interpreted as impatient and distracted. No one wants to speak to a sales executive or a customer care agent who is impatient. Make sure that you speak slowly, and that your rate of speech isn't too fast. This doesn't mean you have to read out each word as if you were dictating to someone. All you need to do is to ensure that you speak calmly, and without being in a hurry. Try taking three deep breaths before you answer the phone. This ensures that your rate of speech is normal, and that you sound pleasant and friendly.
If you want to sound great over a telephone call, you need to make sure that you are listening to the other person. Listen closely and repeat back to the caller their main points or concerns. This is an important rule that every virtual receptionist or call center agent follows. You should also allow the person to complete their sentences, and never interrupt them when they are speaking. If you feel you have something to say that you might forget after a minute, keep a notepad and a pen ready. Sometimes, old fashioned tips and tricks come in handy even in these postmodern times.
Keep all your files and folders well organized and make sure that your workstation is clean and clutter-free. When someone calls you up, you shouldn't have to start searching for a document, a folder or a file. Everything should be easily accessible and you shouldn't be left searching for something either on the telephone or at your desk. If you must look for something, consider placing the caller on a brief hold rather than speak as you are rummaging around. In fact, a good virtual receptionist knows that being organized can reduce the duration of a caller being kept on hold.
When you speak confidently, it completely changes your tone of voice. It shows that you are competent, well-organized and a good communicator. If you are selling something, a lack of confidence in your tone can imply a lack of confidence in your product. Confidence is a skill that can be practiced, and even performed. If you are not a self-assured person, pretend that you are, and you slowly start becoming more confident overall. A good virtual receptionist is not someone who is always fearless, but someone who "performs confidence" at the right time and place.
In order to enhance customer experience, you should not only provide great customer care, but also ensure that you sound great over the phone. Your voice quality and tone can make more difference than what you are actually saying. After all, you are not just providing a service or selling a product. You are making a difference in a customer's life. Your voice is a crucial part of how your customer perceives the interaction and, in turn, your business.

In the monastery of Chudov an old monk Pimen is writing a chronicle of Russia. He tells his novice Grigoriĭ of the history surrounding Boris, and Grigoriĭ resolves to avenge the murdered Dimitriĭ. Leaving the monastery Grigoriĭ claims to be the dead Tsarevich and with two vagabond friars Varlaam and Misail escapes across the border into Lithuania. In his Kremlin rooms Boris learns of the pretender. His councillor Shuĭskiĭ aims to reassure him by recounting the murder of Dimitriĭ but this throws Boris into a state of hallucination.
In Poland, Grigoriĭ's lover Marina dreams of becoming tsarina and her Jesuit confessor Rangoni exhorts her to support the Catholic cause. Marina joins Grigoriĭ in a moonlit rendezvous and she drives him forward with his ambitions.

Hello! I am Cookie. Do not let my name fool you! I am a proud Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix. Christina visited friends at the Selma Cotton Mill one day and asked if any rescues who they thought would be a good therapy dog candidate showed up to please let her know because Dooli was almost ready to retire. I showed up the same day she was visiting! After no one claimed me, she adopted me.
I bonded quickly with Christina and my new family. I enjoyed playing with my new toys, getting treats, snuggling for naps, and meeting my new dog cousins! Then, Christina took me for obedience training. After obedience training, Christina began to take me to work and she along with my canine brother Dooli (who is a legend he said), began to train me for therapy work. I cannot believe I have gone from being homeless to working with Christina to help people learn how to relax, change their negative thought patterns (hey, I had my own to change!), and many more goals we work on together. She pays me with love, walks, my favorite treats and playtime! I also travel with Christina to teach other professionals how to incorporate animals in therapy settings. We recently went to New York! I made a lot of friends and enjoyed the Madison Park!
I will always be grateful to Dooli for passing his job on to me! He taught me how to work hard by sleeping, snoring (providing free aromatherapy a.k.a. passing gas) and occasionally being playful. Sometimes I have to be serious and listen/follow my obedience commands so I do, especially to teach children why we have to be civil sometimes for ourselves and others. Dooli let me come to work with him for 2 months and trained me!
I work with the best animal team here at Animal Assisted Therapy of the Triangle and at Fuzzy Face Refuge! I am so happy I work with other therapy animals here Ella and Miles. When I am at the farm, I have fun seeing the goats, rabbits, geese, horses and ponies! When I take breaks I visit Melodie and her pups at Green Earth Herbals right here in the building and just play!
I also had the best human trainers at Carolina Ranch in Garner, Adam and Morgan. They made training fun and taught Christina how to continue my training at home. I enjoyed my time there so much I still visit them to stay sometimes!
When not working, I enjoy playing with my canine sister, Miss Maude, who is blind (she is my best friend), visiting my animal cousins, family, playing with my favorite Teddy Bear, petting people on the head, giving kisses, and acting like a cat sometimes. Everyone calls me Cat-Dog!


Let's face it: Any situation in which your business's operations can be made more efficient is a welcome one. One area in which many business owners fail to see the potential for streamlining is web design and development – but having a dedicated team focused on your site's well-being will trickle down through all areas of your business and leave you with more time to focus on other areas.
A website is a major business asset, one which demands time and attention. No high-functioning site exists in a vacuum; it needs to be monitored, updated and – though no one wants to face this prospect – fixed when things go wrong. This sort of work puts untold stress on an IT department and can result in other key projects being moved to the back burner for unforeseen amounts of time. Enough setbacks and progress slows to a crawl.
This is where a dedicated team hired to handle your business's web design and development is so critical to the efficiency of your operations. No longer will untold hours be wasted in chasing down the latest bug or threat to your site; instead, your in-house team can focus on that which improves your processes and profitability while your website's needs are still being taken care of.
Keep in mind, too, that dedicated teams are bound to be well-versed in your site and everything that could potentially require attention down the line such as outside threats or critical updates. So rather than chasing their tails trying to track down and resolve an issue (which is a full-time job in and of itself) or spending time making edits to your design as needed, a dedicated web design and development team is more likely to be able to resolve issues quickly. This means you're up and running faster, without spending precious in-house resources.
Business is moving faster every day – don't allow your organization to fall behind by failing to take advantage of everything technology allows. Hiring an offsite team dedicated to your website can only result in your favor.

How Headspace Focused on Honesty and Built a Scalable Formula for Success
Headspace, an online meditation app, has one powerful mission: to improve the health and happiness of the world. After launching in 2010, they worked to help people experience the benefits of meditation anytime, anywhere.
They had achieved this mission in many ways and secured millions of beloved users around the world--the next step was to find a way to scale this process. Headspace reached out to Fohr in 2019 with a few goals in mind: to reach new users, increase app downloads, and utilize influencer marketing to better understand their target audiences.
Fohr built a bespoke campaign that helped Headspace solve several challenges at once. Through market research using Fohr's tools, they suggested six different audience segments that could benefit from using the app. They conducted user testing and allowed these influencers the freedom to share their personal journeys while exploring the Headspace app for the first time.
The campaign proved that sincerity strikes a chord, achieving 762% more cost efficient CPMs, a high volume of app installs, and delivering +213% over the amount of estimated impressions. Read more to discover how the Fohr team exceeded all campaign expectations with honesty at its core.
When Headspace first approached Fohr, they had dipped their toes in the influencer marketing space but hadn't seen much success. One of their main goals was to drive clicks and mobile app installs, a metric usually reserved for bottom-of-the-funnel marketing. To achieve this, the Fohr team needed to find the right influencers, the ideal deliverables, and the correct cadence that would drive an audience to action.
The second area of focus was audience research. The goal was to use influencer marketing to better understand which audience segments were interested in mindfulness, and which spheres of influencers they could tap for future and iterable campaigns. Through this testing, they could discover which influencers were able to drive the highest conversion. The Fohr team needed to build a robust list that would give the campaign ample breathing room to test and reiterate.
The challenge is not simply finding those who love your brand or product--but finding the right people that can effectively communicate that story to an audience, and move them to action.
It's easy to be effective, human, and personal with influencer marketing when you are working one-to-one. It's difficult to create meaningful work when you're operating at scale. The Fohr team dedicated themselves to applying one-to-one principals they knew would work to a larger group at every step in the process. These principles included 'a conversational conversion' approach and an understanding that 'the specific is universal.'
The first key to success was audience testing. The team used Fohr's proprietary technology to identify influencers in six key test categories. These groups were likely to be under high stress and thus in need of an app like Headspace. The robust list of influencers included storytellers, athletes, creatives, healthcare professionals, new moms, and chefs.
The Fohr team worked with 100 influencers to set up a 3 month cadence designed to gather a large test and learn about different audiences. Referencing the 'why' behind the influencer selection made for smooth onboarding, and this showed through positive sentiment.
A post shared by Jess Kirby (@jessannkirby)
When I got the opportunity to partner with @headspace I knew it was meant to be.
- @jessankirby
They also used Fohr technology to identify individuals who had an average caption length of 100 words or longer. This came with the knowledge that gifted thinkers and writers would be best suited to speak the truth with sincerity. As a result, 60% of the top performers were videos speaking to-camera, rather than still images or product walk-through content. They also learned that new mothers drastically outperformed all categories, and that this audience resonance is strong.
The brief included two key Fohr principles. 'Conversational conversion', rather than key messages, ensures that rather than regurgitation of the brief, the content is based on direct experience. Without a script, the results were honest thoughts on mindfulness that demonstrated their progress and process.
The second Fohr principle is 'the specific is universal.' This asks influencers to dive into the granularity of their experience; favorite meditations and why, time of day, and their personal thoughts on meditation before trying Headspace. This approach produced diverse, personal, and relatable content, reaching 47 million impressions, 213% above expectation and 5.44 million views.
The team at Fohr learned that influencers who addressed initial meditation skepticism and showed how Headspace changed their own perception over time were key drivers. This resulted in 762% more cost efficient CPMs and 9,756 app installs, with a $3.84 cost per install.

1 Nov 2016 --- The European snacks market is worth more than 14 billion euros – and counting. Research from a recent pan-European consumer survey by the GNT Group found that two thirds of Europeans reach for crisps, nuts and savory nibbles at least once a week and 11% eat them as often as several times a day.
The research also found out that not only the brand name and a low price, which interest 48% and 41% respectively, are important. Even though – or possibly because – crisps and the like are not the healthiest kind of snack to eat, natural ingredients are essential for more than one third of consumers (36%), and are actually even more important than the fat (34%) and calorie content (27%) or the organic status (11%).
When it comes to ingredients, consumers are particularly alert with regard to colorants. Colors are often used to give snacks red, orange, or yellow shades in order to trigger certain expectations of how a product will taste. Basically, Europeans agree with that, as many of them (25%) consider appearance to be a decisive criterion when buying snacks. But they do think that colors should be utterly natural. Otherwise, they back off: 47% of the Europeans try to avoid products containing additive colors as much as possible.

HMRC boss defends call waiting times
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has responded to claims that taxpayers are experiencing unnecessarily long call waiting times.
Chief Executive, Lin Homer, has spoken out after a report from Citizens Advice said thousands of people were waiting 47 minutes to get their calls answered.
"I don't think the overall trend is worsening," Homer told members of the Public Accounts Committee, but promised taxpayers a better service in the coming months.
"We aren't answering enough calls within five minutes, but we are now doing more 'once and done' calls," added Homer.
"We have already apologised for what we see as a failure in our performance at the end of last year, and the first couple of months of this year."
Back in June, Homer apologised for the service, admitting it was "not up to scratch", after figures showed that a quarter of all calls went unanswered.
The total number of telephone calls answered by HMRC fell from 79 per cent in 2013/14 to 72.5 per cent in 2014/15, according to figures from the National Audit Office (NAO).
Data from a Citizens Advice study during the last 12 months found that 11,500 frustrated callers vented their anger on Twitter. On average, those who tweeted were forced to wait an average of 47 minutes before their call was answered.
Nevertheless, HMRC responded to the survey believing it to be "unscientific" and "out-of-date". In specific case, a user tweeted they had attempted to contact HMRC on four separate occasions and was forced to wait an hour for a response each time.
It was calculated by Citizens Advice that callers holding on the line to HMRC for an average of 47 minutes would be hit with £4.66 in call charges.
An HMRC spokesperson has confirmed it has taken on an additional 3,000 staff in a bid to reduce the delays.
"We are sorry that some customers have struggled to get hold of us, but this unscientific and out-of-date survey of tweets does not represent the real picture now.
"In reality, answer rates on our phones are improving and wait times are falling."
Homer confirmed new telephone systems had been installed, which would also go some way to reducing waiting times.

"North West Canine Cakes baked the cutest birthday cake for my dog's birthday. They provided excellent customer service on the phone, great in person and on-time delivery, and my dog really seemed to enjoy his birthday cake. Not to mention their prices are awesome! I'll definitely be spreading the word about this company!


I went to Mata Petisco Bar tonight with 5 friends for Summerlicious, and it was such a disappointing experience.
We were seated by the window and we actually really liked the space and the vibe of the restaurant. It was a beautiful evening, so getting a nice breeze was appreciated. Soon after arriving our waitress took our drink orders. I wanted a beer, and my male friend next to me wanted a cocktail. I had to tell her 3 times what beer I wanted and even had to point it out to her on the menu because she did not seem to be able to compute what I was telling her. The friend in front of me asked about the beer special (not really a special but rather the rotating tap) and our waitress explained that the beer on rotation was very hoppy, and hoppier than the IPA on their menu. My friend loves hoppy beers so he chose the rotating beer. About 5 minutes later, a beer was placed in front of the friend next to me and another in front of the friend in front of me, and both beers looked exactly the same to me. So I grabbed my beer from my friend (I hate when wait staff assumes that being female means that the dude orders beers and the chick orders cocktails) and the waitress seemed confused as to why I grabbed my friend's beer. Sigh. Then she told the friend in front of me how she had made a mistake and the beer on rotation was in fact not hoppier so she decided to change his order to the beer on the regular menu. What?! My friend was too nice to say anything, but come on! You don't just change a customers order without confirming with them first! She should have come out and told him about her mistake and then asked if he would be okay with the beer from the regular menu or if he still wanted to try the beer they had on rotation. But no, she took it upon herself to make the decision. On her defense, she made a note of telling us that she was new.
The portions were TINY! And the food was bland, and uninspired. I had the cheese balls that were a total letdown. They were doughy, bland and with little texture contrast. I did ask the waitress if there was a sauce or something I could dip them in, and she suggested some cheese – seconds later a small saucer with cream cheese was brought out. The cheese balls did taste better with the cream cheese, but still not great. But it was a nice gesture. For the main I had the poutine and again, it was bland and boring – and I love cassava! The way I made the dish edible was by dousing in hot sauce and adding salt. For dessert I had the cheesecake and it tasted more like a custard and though a super tiny portion, I was only able to eat two small bites and left the rest behind – the dessert just tasted wrong!
In terms of my friends, they spent a lot of the night trying to make feel less guilty about my dinner choice. We all agreed that the food was mediocre, bland, the portions ridiculously tiny – even for Summerlicious, and definitely not worth $25 plus the automatic 18% that they charged us!
The consensus was: NEVER COME HERE AGAIN! And then we made the trek to Grand Electric for some tacos since we were still starving!
I guess I should update my review because the restaurant has "apologized." I don't really see their message as positive, but maybe I am reading into it. So I will give them the benefit of the doubt and take it as positive and kind gesture.
Hi Itanni, sorry to hear that you didnt enjoy your experiencs at Mata. We were warned by some friends of your review on Yelp, Bookenda and your blog. Yesterday a food writer contacted us saying that he posted a coment on your blog. We tried to find but looks like it wasnt published. We unsderstand the "beer situation" you mentioned. One more time, sorry for your experience.
Warned? Yes, I reviewed "my experience." Unfortunately I did not have a good experience, and I shared my perspective. That said, these review sites will show you the statistics on my reviews and tha I give very few negative reviews. I do not attack restaurants – only share my personal experience – which is the point. As for the "food writer" that messaged me – well, I don't address messages that attack me personally. I have NEVER attacked another person. These responses reinforce my experience.
I went to Mata for summerlicious as well. I also had the cheese balls and they were terrible… I am from Brazil and I have never had fried cheese balls, I don't think you are supposed to deep fry them, that's why they were terrible, plus I am pretty sure they are store bought. Everything else as from was just bland.


Shlomi Noach has made a couple of posts (here and here) on Visual Editors vs. commandline for MySQL working with SQL statements. All in all, I tend to agree with him in many respects, but I am surprised that he recommands MySQL Query Browser, as this is the editor that breaks one of the things that seems to annoy him (and me) most: Every SQL statement that is issed uses it's own connection. Which is not to say others may feel differently about it.
As for myself, I started developing my own MyQuery tool because there are things you just cannot do from the commandline, and there are things that are really complex and non-inituitive to do from the commandline, and you need a better tool than the commandline. Again: This is not to say that there is something wrong with the MySQL commandline, it really should not be full featured, but it should run all SQL commands with ease.
So, what was I missing in the commandline MySQL that led to the development of MyQuery, and project that I am still working on, on and off? Mainly, using the commandline makes it REAL hard to develop and debug scripts. That was the main reason! At the time that I released MyQueru 1.0, I was involved in a project that required A LOT of SQL scripting. And if you have a big, big SQL script, then you know what happens: The scripts runs for a few 100 lines, and then there is an error or a typy, and the commandline just keeps processing until we get an error, and then it stops (alternatively, you use --force, in which case you usually get truckloads of errors, and even if youjust get one error,it gets lost among all the other errors).
OK, so the script failed with an error, then you just fix the error and run it again? Right? Well, that approach assumes that your script is idempotent, which isn't always possible and is at least difficult in many cases. Wouldn't it be neat to have the script running stop when there is an error, allow you to fix the error, and then keep running from where the error occured? That is exactly what you can do with MyQuery.
You have a script that takes forever to run. You might have the odd error in there, but you can fix them afterwards, just run the script please! But also tell me about any errors in there, so I can fix them! OK, MyQuery does this too. You can run with force in MyQuery also, but the errors are should in a special errors tab. After the script has finished running, you can see the errors in the error output tab, and that is not intermixed with any status printouts or anything. And yes, click on an error text and you get to that position in the script.
Using SQL to generate SQL? Yeah, you can do that with the MySQL commandline, but MyQuery makes it far easier.
MyQuery has a bunch of other neat features, like the ability to save and store blob data to disk (doing that from the commandline is somewhat possible, but only with many limitations. INTO DUMPFILE only works for single row for example), extend the interface with custom tools, using SQL statements, or the MyQuery API and many other things (One supplied tool will nicely break up a long SQL statement into several indented lines, simple but useful when working with big SQL statements). That MyQuery has a colour-coded editor with a very flexible setup is also a bonus that makes it easier to work with.
Actually, the reason I started developing MyQuery is probably still the best reason to use it: To run scriripts.

Telecom Policymaking a Piecemeal Effort, Walden Predicts
DOJ's Rosenstein hopes for 'responsible encryption,' others see continuing cybersecurity problems
Gary Arlen
Congressional action to update the Telecommunications Act will be incremental, according to Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.), chair of the House Energy & Commerce Committee.
"We're looking at it piece by piece," Walden said at the 2018 State of the Net conference on Monday, Jan. 29. He added that Congress also "needs to look at the FCC operation" overall, acknowledging that "we live in a different era" than when the 1996 Telecom law was enacted. Walden said he expects a "program-by-program" evaluation, but did not suggest any timetable or urgency for the review.
More From SOTN: Rosenworcel Seeks Wider Investigation of Fake Comments
Walden's outlook on piecemeal telecom reform legislation echoes the view of his Senate counterpart Sen. John Thune, chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. At the SOTN conference last year, Thune also avoided any expectation that an omnibus revision of the Telecommunications Act is likely.
Walden also addressed net neutrality and broadcast spectrum issues in his remarks. He blamed the FCC's 2015 Open Internet ruling for creating an unnecessary barrier, but stopped short of promising any Congressional lawmaking on the topic either, as others have suggested.
"We ought to be able to find common ground to prevent bad behavior," such as paid prioritization, Walden said. But he contended that the issues are "not fully understood," saying, "We need to get certainty on what will drive more investment."
Related: Walden Says House E&C Will Hold Hearing on Paid Prioritization
Walden said he believes that lawsuits about the issue "will force America further back" in Internet development. He did promise that his committee will hold hearings on the topic, but did not specify a schedule.
In addition to his vow to find more money for the broadcast channel repack, required after last year's incentive spectrum auction, Walden vowed "a continuing effort to find more spectrum" and indicated that he expects that the FCC will "proceed with more spectrum auctions."

Asked about white space uses in the broadcast spectrum, Walden said he'd like to "maximize spectrum use but not interfere" with current operations.
"I'm not opposed so long as there is no interference," he explained.
A subsequent SOTN session on "The Fragmentation of Communications Policy" focused on privacy. Former Federal Trade Commission chair Jon Leibowitz, now in private practice at Davis Polk and Wardell law firm, said that the FTC is a "muscular agency" in this category and warned that state oversight of the issue is unacceptable.
"A federal solution - not a patchwork of state rules" is needed, Leibowitz said.
Another panelist, former National Telecommunications and Information Administration Director Larry Irving, now a telecom consultant, responded that the "FTC is not the right agency to regulate privacy over the Internet." At that, Chris Lewis, VP at Public Knowledge, insisted, "There is no reason why you can't have multiple cops on the beat," saying such an arrangement would provide "robust power" for enforcement.
Irving characterized the "likelihood of legislation in the near term is de minimis."
DOJ's Views of Security
Deputy Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein focused on security in his remarks at the final SOTN session. Attendees were cautioned that he would not talk about or respond to questions about that day's revelations relating to the Russia allegations involving White House and Congressional activities.
Nonetheless, Rosenstein plunged into the fray, warning that, "We'll probably have more [cyber attacks] in the future with people protecting themselves" against such incursions.
He also said the DOJ is seeking "responsible encryption."
"We favor encryption but not to the exclusion of legitimate law enforcement concerns," he said. "We need to continue to improve our cyber defenses so we can help private sector protect themselves."
He urged that "federal agencies work with industry to combat threats."
"We need to improve our cyber defenses to help protect the sector," he said.
In response to a question about intellectual property protection, Rosenstein said it was a "top priority for us," citing global coordination of efforts to fight piracy.
Public Dismay/Confusion
Earlier in the day, Sally Shipman Wentworth, vice president of Global Policy Development at the Internet Society, described an ISOC study which found that the user-centric vision of the Internet "has been lost." Commercial providers and government involvement now is dominant in Internet operations, factors that users don't understand, she said.
Wentworth also noted the "enormous explosion of threat vectors," singling out the massive role that government agencies will play in the Internet of Things, such as sensors for traffic, local security and other public services. She said that such activities will involves organizations that "have not necessarily been part of the Internet discussion so far," suggesting potential problems as new ventures and services emerge.
Her concerns were reinforced by findings from another new research report, unveiled at the SOTN conference.
Eighty-five percent of Americans said that the Internet has had a positive impact on their lives, but 56 percent said they believe it has weakened American democracy, according to the study by the Internet Education Foundation www.neted.org , which produces the SOTN conference. The "Society Under Strain" report found that Americans are "skeptical about the ability to secure the Internet" and about financial innovations that many don't understand.
"Americans have high hopes for what the Internet can mean to their lives, but as technology advances it creates new concerns that ultimately end up before Congress and regulators," said Tim Lordan, executive director of the Internet Education Foundation.
"Americans look to policymakers for answers," he added. "A majority (53%) believe that the laws and regulations that we have today aren't working to deal with the issues that arise due to the Internet."
The study, conducted by Vrge Strategies, found that Americans are mixed on whether artificial intelligence and virtual assistants enabled by it will be beneficial or harmful. Thirty-seven percent said it will benefit them by making their life and work easier; nearly the same amount (36%) said it will be harmful by creating security and privacy issues.
According to the report's analysis, Americans overwhelmingly expect Internet companies to protect customers from cyberattacks: 52% cited Internet companies, 19% said the government and 18% expect consumers themselves to be responsible for protecting their Internet uses.
Nearly half of respondents (48%) said that while some incidents can be prevented, the "Internet cannot be protected from most cyber attacks."

The LSystem starts with the seed 'A' and iteratively rewrites that string using the production rules. On each iteration a new string/word is derived.
Each string represents a word. All words form the language of the LSystem.
There are different types of LSystems: deterministic, stochastic, context-free, context-sensitive, parametric, timed-depending on the rules and the way they are applied by the LSystem.
Currently RABBIT supports context-free deterministic L-Systems.
The derivation strings of developing L-systems can be interpreted as a linear sequence of instructions (with real-valued parameters in the case of parametric L-systems) to a 'turtle', which interprets the instructions as movement and geometry building actions. The historical term turtle interpretation comes from the early days of computer graphics, where a mechanical robot turtle (either real or simulated), capable of simple movement and carrying a pen, would respond to instructions such as 'move forward', 'turn left', 'pen up' and 'pen down'. Each command modifies the turtle's current position, orientation and pen position on the drawing surface. The cumulative product of commands creates the drawing.
Thank you so much for these tutorials and resources. I'm learning a lot of useful stuff here and I appreciate the clarity of presentation.
Happy to hear you like our tutorials.
We plan to extend the Edu section of the site with some more video tutorials and online courses. Hopefully, it will be pretty soon, so stay tuned!
We have just announced our new project Morphocode Academy: an online training platform for architects and designers.
Is there a symbol command for Angle scale which can be used in the production rules? There is a port to insert a slider to set the "Angle scale" in the turtle but there aren't any symbols listed above which allow you to implement changes to the default angle in the production rules.
In the current version, there is no way to control the angle scale. We plan to add this feature to the next version.
By the way, what rolls left A(Default Angle) degrees? I can see / rolls right A(Default Angle) degree though.
It seems that we've missed that in the tutorial.
Can you please elaborate what is A=!""[B]////[B]////B ?
Is it any equation?How you derive it?
Can You explain it in detail?

Tacitus, a Roman orator and public official, is considered one of the greatest historians as well as one of the greatest prose stylists of the Latin language. The Histories begin on January 1, 69, with Galba in power and proceed to the death of Domitian in 96. The five books of the history still extant are part of an original work of twelve to fourteen books. The narrative as it now exists, with its magnificent introduction, is a powerfully sustained piece of writing.

Freight Rail, RailState
Rail Capacity Report – 12/27/2022-1/2/2023
We've been reporting on the Grain movement in Canada to the Port of Vancouver for the last fifteen weeks. For most of this period, the railways have appeared to be doing well with westbound movements toward Vancouver. However, during the holiday season, there was a significant decline in train volumes. Specifically, the seven-day-average number of trains westbound toward Vancouver fell from 26.6 trains/day as of 12/19/2022 to 14.4 trains/day as of 12/26/2022, and only partially rebounded to 23.7 trains/day as of 1/2/2023. (For comparison, as shown on the January 2022 portion of the rail capacity chart, the disruption to rail operations related to the 2021 holiday season was timed a little later and had a different trajectory, but was similar in overall impact, with average volumes dropping to about 17 trains/day for approximately a 10-day period in January of 2022.)
Observations for Holiday Season 12/20/2022-1/2/2023:
The 7-day moving average number of trains moving westbound past Chilliwack was 14.4 trains/day as of 12/26/2022 and 23.7 trains day as of 1/2/2023, both below the average of 25.7 trains/day that is required to move a typical grain harvest and the typical volume of other commodities.
The moving average number of trains/day was at or below 25.7 trains/day for all 14 days during the past two weeks. In addition to the holiday, a reduction in demand likely also contributed to the reduced train volume.
We estimate that about 5 grain trains/day are required to move the expected grain harvest. The railways moved an average of 4.0 grain trains/day during the week ending 12/26/2022, and 6.1 grain trains/day during the week ending 1/2/2023, close to the required average for the holiday season overall.
As of 1/2/2023, rail traffic in three of the seven categories we track was above its long-term average level (grain at 6.1 trains/day, manifest at 3.9 trains/day, and petroleum at 3.0 trains/day.) Other traffic was near its long-term average level of 1.0 trains/day. Intermodal traffic (5.0 trains/day), coal (3.6 trains/day), and potash (1.1 trains/day) were all below their long-term average levels for the eighth week in a row.
We will continue to monitor the corridor to Vancouver during the grain season and provide updates on trends we're seeing.

Third molars, also known as wisdom molars, are the last teeth to erupt and are positioned at the end of the mouth. Sometimes they never erupt due to lack of space to position themselves in the dental arch.
They erupt between 16 and 25 years of age, most people have four wisdom molars, sometimes people do not develop them at all or only the upper or lower two. The function of wisdom molars is considered to be lost in evolution.
Wisdom molars have to be removed with oral surgery when they present a danger of developing cavities due to bacteria that can get trapped between the two teeth and can affect the adjacent tooth, or when it ¨eats¨ the root of the adjacent tooth to take up its space, causing the tooth to lose its function.
A sinus lift is an oral surgery that adds bone to your upper jaw. The bone is added between the jaw and the maxillary sinuses, which are on either side of your nose.
People who have lost teeth in their upper jaw, particularly the back teeth, or molars, do not have enough bone for implants to be placed.
When gum disease caused bone loss.
Another reason to bone loss is tooth loss. Once the tooth is gone, the bone begins to be absorbed back into the body. If the tooth wasn't replaced on time and it has been missing for a long time, there will not be enough bone left to place implants.
Bone augmentation or bone graft is a procedure that involves adding bone or bone like materials to the jaw in order to be able to place dental implants.
If a person does not have enough bone where a tooth has been extracted or has been lost, a dental implant cannot be placed because it will not hold in the jaw.
A patient will need a dental implant to replace a missing tooth, whether it was extracted or it broke some time ago or if it needs to be extracted and replaced immediately. The doctor will determine whether or not there is enough bone to place the implant, however, in most cases, the bone augmentation oral surgery is necessary.
First, there are autografts (or autogenous grafts), in which the bone is taken from the patients own body, usually from the chin in dental procedures. This type of bone graft has proven to be the most successful, since there is no other graft as compatible.
There are also allografts (or allogenous grafts), which are taken from human donors, and are converted by the patients own bone into natural bone. They undergo numerous controls and sterilization processes; they are often chosen to avoid a second surgery procedure other than the implant placement.
Then, there are xenografts, or bone augmentations taken from animals, most commonly from cows. These go through strict processes in order to become biocompatible and sterile for future use.
Lastly, there are alloplastic grafts, made from artificial or synthetic materials, either calcium phosphates or hydroxy apatite, that stimulate the patients body to form natural bone. Alloplastic grafts have the least success rates of all the types of bone augmentations; however, it is the one with least probabilities or risk of infections.
Bone augmentation offer patients who have had extractions the opportunity to create an area filled with bone or bone like materials in order to place in dental implants or to restore defects in the bone. They are very successful and it is an excellent option for being a good candidate for implants or any other dental restoration procedure.

Every plant is endowed with a defense system that is specific to it. Some are strongly built, some have thorns with which they protect themselves, and yet others are bitter and sting. Even the gold and diamond which are valuable minerals are surrounded by warriors beneath the earth. Which means every valuable things created by Allah is under protection. Then, how about this Ummah; how about its land and Muslims and what measures are we putting in place for their protection?
The Vice President of this great country belongs to the family of Redeemed Christian Church. The former President, Obasanjo and Jonathan, they both also have where they belong. During their regime, many universities were registered for the churches and big projects were also executed apart from being majority in all government establishments.
As it stands today, many of these churches that benefited mostly during the time of Obasanjo and Jonathan have been transformed into a movement. Each of them is like another Vatican city in Rome or let me say a government if you see the ways and manners of their operation.
The most surprising part of it is when you have Muslims in government you hardly see anyone who belongs to a mosque not to talk of helping the growth and development of Islam. The reason is our mosques do not influence the life of individuals the way the Churches do and there is no orientation for our Imams to understand that Islam is beyond five daily prayers.
With this, when one community is growing and developing, transforming itself into a Movement with the belief that they are to rule and defend democracy and the other is moving backward, condemning and criticizing one another , there is no how the former will not control the later, and if nothing is done to arrest it, I tell you, the consequences will be devastating.


It was after 10pm when I arrived at the Ladera Hotel on a residential street in Santiago's Providencia district, and the imposing stone facade at the entryway gave the property a fortress-like feeling. Staff buzzed me through both exterior and interior doors, into the lobby of this sleek and modern boutique hotel. And despite the somewhat intimidating exterior, the staff at the reception desk were helpful and welcoming.
Compared to the Hotel Magnolia, a Santiago boutique lodging in a historic 1929 building that mixes old and new, the Ladera, which opened in 2016, is 100 percent contemporary.
The hotel commissioned local graffiti artist Mauricio Inostroza, who goes by the name Fisek, to create colorful art work throughout the hotel, including a 25-foot-tall vertical mural that hangs adjacent to the elevator.
Besides the artwork, one of the hotel's best features is its rooftop terrace with a long narrow swimming pool and a lounge with an honor bar. Up here, the city feels miles away.
The 36 guest rooms are chic and comfortable, though not large, with dark black-brown furniture and colorful accents. A glass panel with an interesting abstract pattern divides sleeping and dressing areas. The beds are very firm but comfy, with reading lamps on both sides, and more of the vibrant graffiti-inspired artwork above the headboard.
Wi-fi is complimentary and available throughout the hotel. If you don't have a local SIM card for your mobile phone, the hotel can provide you with a Chilean cell phone for the duration of your stay.
Rooms have mini fridges stocked with complimentary water, soda, and juice, as well as one-cup Nespresso machines. Other amenities include satellite TVs and in-room safes.
The contemporary bathrooms are designed with a dressing area, where the large, sloped-basin sink and a stand for towels are located, and two separate cubicles with frosted glass doors housing the toilet and the shower. Toiletries are from L'Occitane, and robes and slippers are provided.
Rates, which typically range from US$150-210/night, include breakfast, which is served beginning at 7:30am and continuing all day — a nice touch for late sleepers or jet-lagged travelers (though unfortunately, I had to leave to catch a flight before breakfast service started).
The Ladera is somewhat removed from the more commercial sections of the Providencia district. It's about a 10- to 15-minute walk from the Pedro de Valdivia metro station, crossing an overpass above the Mapocho River.
The hotel provides bicycles for guests' use, at least for those guests brave enough to tackle Santiago's often congested streets on two wheels.
But if I had a chance to stay a little longer at this stylish boutique hotel, I'd start by admiring the cool artwork, then head upstairs to the pool.

A hand grenade and a powerful bomb were recovered from different places in Imphal West district of Manipur, official reports said on Wednesday.
Reports said a China-make grenade was deposited at the office of a private shop in Mantripukhri area, about 8 kms north of here, by some unidentified persons yesterday.
Bomb experts later defused the explosive, reports said adding that motive behind the incident was not known although police suspected that this might have been connected with a monetary demand from the shop by some militants.
Reports said police also detected a powerful bomb planted near a Border Security Force camp in Mayang-imphal area and it was later defused.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) held the first and only hearing on the Clean Energy Incentive Program (CEIP) yesterday in Chicago. More than 300 people were in attendance, and nearly 140 people delivered oral testimony in support of both the Clean Power Plan and this innovative program to advance renewable energy and energy efficiency.
The Clean Energy Incentive Program (CEIP) is a voluntary program that is designed to provide incentives to states for more rapid development and early investment in clean energy projects, particularly in low-income communities.
The program is part of the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan, which is the nation's first-ever requirement to limit carbon pollution from existing power plants. The CEIP requires states to opt in to the program in order to be eligible for incentives to develop solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro projects, as well as double incentives to develop energy efficiency or solar projects that serve low-income communities.
If a state opts in, the CEIP may allocate early action emission allowances or emission rate credits to eligible projects for the electricity saved or the renewable power produced in 2020 and 2021, ahead of the official CPP start date in 2022. The state will first award early action allowances or credits to the projects, then the EPA will provide matching awards up to a national limit equal to 300 million shorts tons of CO2 emissions.
Unfortunately in February, the Clean Power Plan was put on hold by the Supreme Court until the current legal challenges are resolved. Thankfully, this does not prevent states from moving forward with drafting state implementation plans or planning to participate in the CEIP.
What is the significance of the hearing?
On August 3, the EPA hosted a public hearing in Chicago to gather feedback on the CEIP. This is the only public hearing scheduled on the CEIP in the entire country, placing Illinois front and center on clean energy.
The EPA's decision to come to Chicago, plus the exceedingly large turnout of testifiers and rally participants, underscores that our state and region have a vital stake in this issue, and that the Midwest broadly supports progress on clean energy. The Rally for Clean Energy was held at noon at Federal Plaza, and brought out hundreds of people from across the nation.
The EPA proposed design details for the CEIP on June 16, 2016. Once finalized the program's rules will help guide states and tribes that chose to participate when the Clean Power Plan becomes effective. The hearing was an opportunity for citizens to comment on the changes made to the updated CEIP proposal.
I gave testimony at the hearing on behalf of the Union of Concerned Scientists. I stated that in developing the CEIP, the EPA was right to recognize the need to address two fundamental issues underpinning the equitable and efficient implementation of the CPP.
Rally for Clean Energy at Federal Plaza outside the CEIP Federal Hearing in Chicago.
The first issue is the need to enhance incentives for the near-term deployment of renewable resources and thereby cutting emissions and limiting a rush to natural gas.
The second issue is to ensure that low-income communities—who have historically borne a disproportionate burden of pollution from our dependence on fossil fuels and have suffered from chronic underinvestment in local clean energy and energy efficiency resources—are specifically prioritized for meaningful investments in energy efficiency and renewable resources.
To achieve this, some important revisions must be made before the CEIP is finalized. First and foremost, the CEIP should prioritize incentivizing clean energy projects that need the greatest support to come online and provide direct benefits to disadvantaged communities.
We recommend that the agency redistribute the matching award pools such that renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in low-income communities are eligible to receive a greater portion of the 300 million short tons set aside for the program.This adjustment in reserve allocations also reflects the fact that the recent extension of the Federal Production Tax and Investment Tax Credits for renewable energy will provide a significant boost to these projects in general, lessening the need for further incentives through the CEIP's reserves that support renewable energy not located in low-income communities.
We also urged the EPA to adopt a framework for defining "low-income communities" that recognizes state-specific factors and definitions, while simultaneously maintaining a minimum threshold to ensure that benefits flow where they are needed most.
We can make the CEIP stronger and we urged the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure that benefits are delivered equitably and to respond to critical questions about community engagement.
The EPA will accept comments from stakeholders and the public on several key design elements of the CEIP, until September 2, 2016.
Constituents need to advocate for their states to participate in the CEIP. We urge states to opt in to the CEIP, to ensure the benefits of a clean energy economy are accessible and beneficial to all. States should also actively engage environmental justice groups to best design and implement the CEIP within their specific states.
As written, the CEIP is voluntary and benefits would go only to states that act ahead of key deadlines.
States need a clean energy infrastructure in place and ready to go the moment these benefits take effect. Several states, including several in the Midwest, have yet to convene stakeholders on the CPP. We must act now.
Tell your governor to power ahead on the Clean Power Plan.

Q: Display progressdialog without text Android Android 2.3.3
I have a progressdialog that shows, Loading.. as text. Here is the code for the progressdialog .
progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(mContext);
            progressDialog.setIndeterminate(true);
            progressDialog.setMessage("Loading...");
            progressDialog.show();

If I remove the line progressDialog.setMessage("Loading...");, I get a progressdialog of the left and an empty box on the right that occupies the width of the parent.
I want to display only the progressdialog , aligned at the center. Please refer to the images below..
This is what i have...

This is what i want...

Can someone help me with this?

A: Working and looking good on material design with accent color (if you have them)
Tried hard to make it work on both 5.0+ and lower API version. And the solution is to make it with a dialog instead of a progress.
in layout folder create a file aux_progress_spinner.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent"
              android:background="@android:color/transparent"
              android:gravity="center"
              android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/progressBar1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        />

</LinearLayout>

Create a function somewhere...let's say Utils.class
   public static Dialog LoadingSpinner(Context mContext){
        Dialog pd = new Dialog(mContext, android.R.style.Theme_Black);
        View view = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.aux_progress_spinner, null);
        pd.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        pd.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(R.color.transparent);
        pd.setContentView(view);
        return pd;
    }

In your fragment/activity call:
 private Dialog progress_spinner;
 progress_spinner = Utils.LoadingSpinner(mContext);

 //------ Where you want it ------
 progress_spinner.show();

 //------- Dismiss it --------
 progress_spinner.dismiss();

Optional: add a simple CountDownTimer to test how it looks
        new CountDownTimer(1000,1000){

            @Override public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {

            }

            @Override public void onFinish() {
                progress.dismiss();
            }
        }.start();

A: Try this 1.create a method like this :
public static ProgressDialog createProgressDialog(Context context) {
    ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
    try {
        dialog.show();
    } catch (BadTokenException e) {

    }
    dialog.setCancelable(false);
    dialog.getWindow()
        .setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT));
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.progressdialog);
    // dialog.setMessage(Message);
    return dialog;
}

// Xml Layout :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:background="@android:color/transparent" >

    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/progressBar1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true" />

</RelativeLayout>

and call this method wherever you want :
if (progressDialog == null) {
    progressDialog = Utils.createProgressDialog(Login.this);
    progressDialog.show();
} else {
    progressDialog.show();
}

A: you can add below style in your style.xml
<style name="progress_bar_style">
    <item name="android:windowFrame">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowTitleStyle">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@android:style/Animation.Dialog</item>
    <item name="android:windowSoftInputMode">stateUnspecified|adjustPan</item>
    <item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">false</item>
    <item name="android:background">@android:color/transparent</item>
</style>

where you add any color in color.xml file.

A: You can use:
Progress progress = new ProgressDialog(getActivity(), android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_TITLE);

If necessary, add to Gradle dependencies
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.0'

A: If you happen to get the error : "requestFeature() must be called before adding content", the solution is to call progressDialog.show() BEFORE you call progressDialog.setContentView(R.layout.progressdialog).

A: Use ProgressBar instead of ProgressDialog.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ProgressBar.html

A: you can use :
progressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
and if you want no title you can :
progressDialog.setTitle(null);

A: MuraliGanesan's answer is correct, but I use just Dialog, not ProgressDialog to avoid "requestFeature() must be called before adding content" exception

A: You can do this by just creating one class which extends Dialog class:
Let's say I have created below class:
public class TransparentProgressDialog extends Dialog {

    public ImageView iv;

    public TransparentProgressDialog(Context context, int resourceIdOfImage) {
        super(context, R.style.TransparentProgressDialog);
        WindowManager.LayoutParams wlmp = getWindow().getAttributes();
        wlmp.gravity = Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL;
        getWindow().setAttributes(wlmp);
        setTitle(null);
        setCancelable(false);
        setOnCancelListener(null);
        LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(context);
        layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
        LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        iv = new ImageView(context);
        iv.setImageResource(resourceIdOfImage);
        layout.addView(iv, params);
        addContentView(layout, params);
    }

    @Override
    public void show() {
        super.show();
        RotateAnimation anim = new RotateAnimation(0.0f, 360.0f , Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, .5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, .5f);
        anim.setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator());
        anim.setRepeatCount(Animation.INFINITE);
        anim.setDuration(3000);
        iv.setAnimation(anim);
        iv.startAnimation(anim);
    }
}

Put TransparentProgressDialog in style.xml:

        @null
        @android:color/transparent
        true
        @null
        @null
        @android:style/Animation.Dialog
        stateUnspecified|adjustPan
        true
        @android:color/transparent

Now you can put any progress image which will circulate:
TransparentProgressDialog pDialog = new TransparentProgressDialog(mContext, R.drawable.progress);
pDialog.show();

That's it.

A: Based on MuraliGanesan answer I created a subclass of progressDialog.
public class LoadingDialog extends ProgressDialog {

    public LoadingDialog(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    @Override
    public void show() {
        super.show();
        setCancelable(false);
        getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
        setContentView(R.layout.custom_progress_dialog);
    }
}

Also you have to create the custom_progress_dialog.xml in res/layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@android:color/transparent"
    android:layout_gravity="center">

    <ProgressBar
        android:id="@+id/progressBar1"
        style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true" />

</RelativeLayout>

And you use it as easy as this:
LoadingDialog dialog = new LoadingDialog(this);
dialog.show();
:
:
dialog.dismiss();

A: This work for me in MonoDroid:
progressDialog.SetMessage((string)null);

Try this in java:
progressDialog.setMessage(null);

A: ProgressDialog.show(this, null,"", true);

A: What I have done is..
private ProgressDialog progressDialog;

private void loadProgressDialog() {
    try {
        progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
        progressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
        progressDialog.setMessage("Please Wait...");
        progressDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
        progressDialog.setCancelable(false);
        progressDialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

private void showProgressDialog() {
    if (progressDialog != null && !progressDialog.isShowing()) {
        progressDialog.show();
    }
}

private void hideProgressDialog() {
    if (progressDialog != null && progressDialog.isShowing()) {
        progressDialog.dismiss();
    }
}

Council of State tears up fines for 'illegal Macedonian workers'
Social affairs minister was wrong to fine five companies for using foreign workers to build a railway bridge over the IJssel river, the Council of State said on Wednesday.
Rail operator ProRail, two Dutch companies, a German firm and one from Macedonia were each fined €552,000 after inspectors found 62 workers from Macedonia and Bulgaria working on the project in 2009 and 2010.
The social affairs ministry argued the men were employed by the Macedonian firm and should have had a work permit to be employed on projects in the Netherlands.
The companies, however, insisted the men were employed via the German firm and did not therefore need a work permit. The Council of State on Wednesday agreed with the reasoning and said the minister had not proved they were employed by the Macedonian company.
In addition, the workers had German residency permits which allowed them to travel and work throughout the European Union, the court said.
