This episode features a live recording of Derek and James Randi on stage at Skeptrack 2015 this past Labor Day weekend at Dragon Con in Atlanta, GA. Derek and Randi discuss the origins of The Amazing Randi and his work exposing fakers and other harmful charlatans over the years.
This episode Derek digs into a recording which he conducted out in California at the Skeptic Society "I The Year 2525" conference. It is a recording Derek did with Dr. Donald Prothero not long after he finished his talk which was about the current state of the climate, how we know that humans are causing massive change, and what we might be able to do to help mitigate and, possibly, improve things going forward as a global society.
This episode continues our series of special content which Derek recoreded while attending The Amazing Meeting 13. Just after she gave her talk on stage, Derek sat down with Natalia Reagan, anthropologist, writer, actress, and comedienne. Using her specialized knowledge in primatology, she was one of the judges on the television show, "10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty". Find out a bit more about how Natalia decided to leverage her advanced science degree and experience into a form of skeptical outreach which has been seen by millions.
With The Amazing Meeting ending only a couple days ago, Derek doesn't wait to give you the first recorded interview from the event. Derek talks with Jim Baggott, author of many books on the nature of reality and physics. His latest work, "Farewell to Reality: How Modern Physics Has Betrayed the Search for Scientific Truth". Baggott argues that there is no observational or experimental evidence for many of the ideas of modern theoretical physics: super-symmetric particles,super strings, the multiverse, the holographic principle,or the anthropic cosmological principle. These theories are not only untrue, it is not even science. It is fairy-tale physics: fantastical, bizarre and often outrageous, perhaps even confidence-trickery.
This week Derek gets back from his trip to the Skeptics Society Meeting and gets right back to 'work' by talking with Sunny Fugate and Jeane Wong. Jeane founded 'The League of Extraordinary Scientists', (LXS), a community effort to bring quality 'science-ing' to K-5th grade classrooms in the San Diego area. Find out how the LXS is determined to bring their proven method of delivering science into the classrooms of the youngest students, and how they believe they can make it happen across the world.
Skepticality is almost a decade old. In light of the upcoming landmark, Derek and the show's usual crew of contributors decided they needed to start bringing to listeners different content to supplement the standard format. Today, we present the first installment of Skepticality: On The Side in which you can listen in on Derek, Susan Gerbic, Tim Farley, and Bob Blaskiewicz as they discuss the history of Skepticality, and some of the hot topics they have been following in the realms of skeptical thought and pseudoscience.
This week Derek has a conversation with Julien Musolino. Julien is an associate professor of cognitive psychology and psycholinguistics and Rutgers University and the author of the book "The Soul Fallacy: What Science Shows We Gain from Letting Go of Our Soul Beliefs". In this episode Julien describes why he argues that the existence of the soul is a testable hypothesis Ð one thatÕs failed time and time again to hold up against the weight of scientific evidence. And, despite these findings, why he and everyone else should not be sad, or depressed by this fact, but to embrace it and lead a happier and more productive life.
The simple act of eating a cheese sandwich change your mood? Will taking some commonly prescribed drugs make you more likely to help random strangers on the street? Well-known neuroscientist, Molly Crockett, may have some answers. In this episode of Skepticality, Derek explores altruism, morality, and values-based decision-making in humans, with Molly, who reminds us against blind acceptance of some of the more overstated claims about neuroscience in the media.
This week Derek has a conversation with Sheldon Helms, a member of the Bay Area Skeptics, and one of the people involved with Operation Bumblebee, a scouting operation put together by Susan Gerbic to go to one of the big events put on by Chip Coffey, a self described psychic. Sheldon provides some details about his involvement in the operation, and how two teams of skeptics worked to put together a fairly detailed event.
This week Derek brings you a taste of what you may have missed by not coming out for the yearly Skeptic events at Dragon Con. A recording from the star studded panel, "Denying Evolution and Climate Science". Which involved Matt Lowry, David DiSalvo, Dr. Steven Novella, and Barbara Drescher.
This episode Derek tracked down Sikivu Hutchinson, a passionate skeptic and rights activist. Sikivu is the senior intergroup specialist for the Los Angles County Human Relations Commission, and the author of several books centering around race, gender, politics, and atheism in minority society within the United States. Her most recent book, 'Godless Americana: Race and Religious Rebels', attempts to shed light on the issues centering around minorities which often become overlooked by many in atheist communities and skeptic circles.
This week Derek talks with Thomas Goetz, past Executive Editor for Wired Magazine, co-founder of Iodine, and author of healthcare related books. Thomas's latest book, 'The Remedy', is about Robert Koch, the father of modern bacteriology and his quest to find the cause and cure for tuberculosis, and the relationship between him and Arthur Conan Doyle.
This week Derek talks with Executive Editor of Sports Illustrated Magazine, Jon L. Wertheim. Jon is the author of 'Scorecasting', the New York Times Beselling book which is a interesting blend of Freakonomics, Moneyball, and Mythbusters. Yes, the book is about sports, but it comes at the world of sports from a scientific angle to expose the hidden forces which shape how games are won and lost, while breaking down many of the superstions and myths which are embedded in popular culture about sports in general.
This week Derek talks with Gary Kaskel, film maker turned animal protection advocate. Gary's latest book, "Monsters and Miracles: Henry Bergh's America", is a biographical look into Henry Bergh, a man who founded two social justice organizations directly after the United States Civil War. Almost everyone has heard of the ASPCA and about the same number of people also believe that children should be protected and have the right not to be treated as property. However, what most people don't know is that both of those things were pushed up to the forefront of public understanding due to one man, Henry Bergh. Find out more about the man who can be easily called 'The most famous American you've never heard of'.
This episode Derek sits down with two guests. First is Jonathan Tweet, game designer, and science advocate. Tweet comes on Skepticality to discuss his latest writing project which will be coming to Kickstarter quite soon. It is a fun science book aimed at pre-school level children teaching the basic facts behind evolution and how living things came to be. Next, Derek talks with Allen J. Woppert about his latest book, 'The War On Science Goes Batshit', a Young Adult book about when a biology teacher in the small town of Batshit, Illinois attempts to slip Intelligent Design into the High School classroom. Derek talks with Allen about how the book came to be, and the challenges in writing a book geared toward a Young Adult audience which has the teaching of evolution as its main topic.
This episode Derek has a discussion with Bruce Carlson, the creator and host of the popular podcast and radio show 'My History Can Beat Up Your Politics'. The show has a mission, to apply history to the politics of today. Many times people tend to use historical references to justify their modern day political ideas, Derek wanted to find out more about how Bruce attempts to correct bad thinking when it comes to the intersection of politics and the past.
This week Derek has a conversation with William MacAskill. William is a former Fulbright scholar at Princeton University, and PhD at Oxford University. William is the founder of OxfordÕs Center for Effective Altruism and of 80,000 Hours, a service which helps determine how best to use your time to do the most good. As a person who is deeply concerned with the effects of charitable giving, he set out to provide ways for people to give in the most effective manner possible. What are the best places to give your money so it has the highest potential to further good in the world? William discusses why it was important for the charities he helped create have a scientific way to determine where donations and/or work should be best directed for the most good.
This week Derek speaks with Raphael Lataster, a secular PhD researcher in religious studies who focuses on philosophy of religion, Christian origins, logic, Bayesian reasoning, and the social impacts of atheism. His Master's thesis dealt with Jesus mythicism, concluding that historical and Bayesian reasoning justifies a skeptical position in regards to any form of 'historical Jesus'. His work led him to write his new book, 'There Was No Jesus, There Is No God'. Derek decided to sit down and talk with Raphael and find out more about how the ideas contained in the book came about and how they fit when so many prominent, modern, religious scholars tend to keep making statements as to the historical certainty of a Jesus figure.
Skepticality was the recipient of the 'Ockham's Razor Award for Best Podcast 2014! Along with a short announcement about that, this week Derek talks with author Andrew Endersby about his newest book, "America's Imaginary Hostage Crisis". In 1979 a group of Iranian students invaded and occupied the US Embassy in Tehran. The United States military decided the best way to try to deal with the event was to use a group of newly 'trained' psychics using remote viewing to determine what was going on within the walls of the embassy. Now that the actual papers which detail what the remote viewers actually reported, how accurate were they, really?
Since Skepticality took a break last episode, Derek comes back with two interviews to fill the void of having no show for a full month. The first is with Dale McGowan; author, speaker, philanthropist, and founder of 'Foundation Beyond Belief'. They discuss how the Foundation came to be, what the current goals are, and how people can get involved worldwide. After Dale, Derek has a discussion with Karen Stollznow; writer, linguist, and author of several books which have a skeptical slant. Derek talks with her about one of her latest books, 'God Bless America', which takes a look at some of the unusual religious practices and beliefs across the United States of America.
This episode Derek has a chat with Robert Blaskiewicz, who has been highly involved in bringing attention to the dodgy cancer research that Stanislaw Burzynski has been conducting. Then, Guy Harrison visits Skepticality, once again, to talk about his new skeptic focused book, 'Think', which aims to give rational thinkers a set of tools to help talk to, and work alongside, those who hold dubious beliefs.
This week Derek has an interview with Keith E. Stanovich, a CSI fellow and is the Canada Research Chair of Applied Cognitive Science at the Department of Human Development and Applied Psychology, University of Toronto. His work in critical thinking and how science goes about measuring intelligence has won him many awards. Derek wanted to find out a bit more about his work and what areas of research he has been working on in recent days.
With the coming anniversary of Isaac Newton's birthday, Derek , sat down to have a chat with Faisal Saeed Al Mutar. Until about 9 months ago, Faisal was living in Iraq where he was at odds with the Sunni, Shai, and Al-Qaeda. He now lives in the United States after being granted asylum. In his short time living in the United States, he was gone on to help build an amazing community of people dedicated to making society a better place through the promotion of humanism, secular values, and skeptical thinking.
With the shopping season upon us, Derek decided to sit down and talk with someone who knows a bit about how to sway people using the power of marketing. neuroscientist, Dr. Peter Steidl, has been an adviser to the World Health Organization, represented Australia at the European Center for Social Science Research, and is an author and working professional in the world of Neuromarketing. Just how much power, or sway, can marketing really have on the spending habits of people?
It is the creepy time of year once again. To celebrate the coming of All-Hallows-Eve, Derek has a chat with Greg Gage, a neuroscientist who is dedicated to bringing citizen science to the world of what goes on in the brain. As the founder of 'Backyard Brains', Greg has invented do-it-yourself equipment which you can use, at home, to conduct experiments which demonstrate how the nervous system works. Nothing could be more fitting around Halloween than learning how you can create your own 'zombie' cockroach!
It seems that every other day there is another news story or article touting some breakthrough in the world of neuroscience. This can tend to cause even the most ardent science lover to be confused as to what the practical applications are of the brain research we keep hearing about. This week on Skepticality, Derek speaks with Dr. Robert A. Burton, author of On Being Certain, about his latest book A Skeptic's Guide to the Mind. Dr. Burton's latest focus is on identifying the strengths and limitations of modern neuroscience. His book helps us to better understand the topic so we can make better use of the information contained with the plethora of published studies.
This episode Derek talks with #209 - Watching Bad Science - Interview: Michael Kruse, the current Chair of 'Bad Science Watch', consumer advocacy group based out of Canada which focuses mainly on educating the public about important issues surrounding bad claims dealing with health and medical issues. Michael and his group have been in recent struggles with anti Wi-Fi panic caused by a misinformed public, frustrating governmental restrictions on scientists communicating their findings, and 'nosodes' a form of homeopathy claiming to be an effective vaccine for preventable disease, which has been contributing to a low vaccination rate in several areas across Canada.
This week on Skepticality, Derek chats with James Daily and Ryan Davidson, the creators of the popular legal blog, Law and The Multiverse and the newly released book based on the site, The Law of Superheroes. If there's one thing that many science and reality-minded people tend to do quite a bit, it's over analyze every little detail in the movies, TV shows, books, etc., that they find entertaining. James and Ryan, being lawyers, decided to take that same mindset and explore what might happen, legally, if some of the fantastic things depicted in comic books and superhero entertainment actually happened in real life.
This week Derek presents double Dino-related goodness! First off he has a discussion with Tyler Keillor, a Fossil Laboratory Fossil preparator and Paleoartist. Then Daniel Loxton, of Jr. Skeptic, joins in to talk about his newest book, "Pterosaur Trouble", the next installment in the 'Kids Can Press' line of "Tales of Prehistoric Life" books.
This week Derek has a discussion with Loren Collins, the author of the book 'Bullspotting: Finding Facts in the Age of Misinformation'. The book is a guide for people to distinguish real conspiracies from conspiracy theories, and real science from pseudoscience. Loren set out to provide a way to use the tools of critical thinking to spot real evidence from information which has been manipulated to create false impressions of the truth.
This week on Skepticality, Derek interviews geomorphologist and Professor of Earth and Space Sciences (University of Washington) David R. Montgomery about how his work led him to write his latest book The Rocks Don't Lie: A Geologist Investigates Noah's Flood. The book is thoughtful and readable, and attempts to respect both young Earth creationist views and the world of evidence-based geological science. According to the books publisher, with an explorers eye and a refreshing approach to both faith and science, Montgomery takes readers on a journey across landscapes and cultures. In the process we discover the illusive nature of truth, whether viewed through the lens of science or religion, and how it changed through history and continues changing, even today.
This week Derek sits down with Nicholas Eftimiades, Chinese Intelligence expert who was the Chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency Space Division for a period of time. He recently penned a new book which is a science fiction novel set 200 years in the future where a few androids decide to communicate with the Almighty.
This week on Skepticality, Derek interviews Massimo Pigliucci about his latest book, Answers for Aristotle: How Science and Philosophy Can Lead Us to A More Meaningful Life, discussing what lead him to write the book, and getting his personal take on the modern skeptical movement.
We all survived one more end of the world scare! Now that we have to keep on living, Derek decided to sit down with Sharon Hill of 'Doubtful News' to chat a little about what some of the big skeptical news stories of 2012 were, and get her thoughts about might be looming over the horizon for 2013.
words and phrases, such as 'shag', or the seemingly innocent 'feisty'.
wants others to come and discover why we use the words we use.
Have you ever really paid much attention to what is depicted on clothing, toys, and such made for children? This episode Derek sits down with Kristine Duehl, a PhD of Biology who focuses on plants and the biomes in which plants and their common fauna live. When Kristine had her first child, she wanted to ensure that her own kid had learning materials which were accurate to the real world, so she created 'The Budding Biologist' book series.
This week Derek has a chat with Phil Edwards, the author and creator of the website, and book 'Fake Science 101'.
This week Derek briefly re-caps the events of the Skeptic Track at Dragon*Con 2012. For those of you who could not make it out for the fun and excitement, he plays one of the group sessions from the event. It is a panel which involved JREF Outreach Coordinator, Brian Thompson, Best Selling Authors Michael Stackpole, Scott Sigler, and Gail Z. Martin, as well as Skepchicks Rebecca Watson and Amy Davis Roth. As they discuss using popular art and creative endeavors to get skeptical and critical thought into a segment of the population which would otherwise never seek out the information directly.
This week Derek spends a little bit of his time before the start of Dragon*Con with Victor Stenger discussing his latest book, "God and the Folly of Faith: The Incompatibility of Science and Religion". Based on his experience as a particle physicist, Stenger outlines how hard science actually has a lot to say about all supernatural and religious claims, even though many have mistakenly gone too far to accommodate ideas for which there is no scientific evidence.
go", soon after he took his own life to join his Heaven's Gate brother in the 'next level'.
This week Derek sits with Deb Simpson, author of the new book, "Closing The Gate", a deeply personal book about her brother, and the story about how he got involved with such a destructive, and manipulative group. A rare look into some of the inner workings and the effects that such groups can have on the families which they end up effecting.
In this weeks installment of Skepticality, Derek talks to Ian Harris, a science based comedian who is part of a troupe of comedians who all center their work on topics that science loving folks will really enjoy, the tour is called "The Evolution of Comedy Tour". Ian and Derek discuss how comedy seems to be a great fit for skeptical and scientific issues. Then Derek checks in with Bob Carroll to discuss his new e-book, "Unnatural Acts" which he produced as part his ongoing efforts over at skepdic.com.

"There Are No Two Marrows" explores, with great humour, a real modern-day dilemma. Archie, a somewhat eccentric retired coal miner with traditional northern passions and pastimes, informs his family, out of the blue, that he intends to take his own life and wants their help in celebrating it. The story traces his reasons, the impact of his decision on his dysfunctional family life, the reaction of the community and the realisation that the best-laid plans are not guaranteed success. Within a background of innocence, fun, personal dilemmas and Christian beliefs the nature of relationships are scrutinized by exploring a range of diverse, often odd, characters.

If you work with a large number of RD file data sets, chances are that you want to automate the post processing portion of your workflow. Currently RT-Post Process does not support batch processing from the GUI. This is something that we are working toward in an upcoming release of the software, bringing it into the core toolset. However, for the short term we can provide scripts and tools that can help users to get the results that they require in a simple manner.
Required - The latest version of NAVsuite, which will contain the post processing command line tool blended.exe which will process each file individually.
You can download the last two here as a zip file.
The way the batch script works is it calls the tools mentioned above from the command line to act on the files in the directory in question. To do this it needs access to the location of those tools, this is what path variables allow us to do.
Windows 10 - Right click on the windows icon in the start bar and choose "System"
Note that the path will only be updated for new command prompt windows that are opened after the path has been changed. If you have a command prompt open then you will need to close it and open another one so that this change takes effect.
The way the example batch file is written is that it expects to see a folder with only RD files in it. It will then process each one and place the resulting NCOM files (and CSV if the NCOM2CSV tool is also used) in the same folder.
So place all the files that you need to have processed into a folder in preperation for the batch process.
If you wish to customize this utility to output specifically the measurements that you need then this then take a look at our decoder article here.

This page is largely complete but linked pages are not yet complete
This section of the website has been created to give insight into typical families we work with. Actually, if you go through all the cases, once we get them all posted, you will see that there is no such thing as a typical case. Every one is unique. But we will give you some usable examples. We give you a very brief description of the vignette on this page with a link to a page with the complete story. Some of these stories are composites of more than one client; in all cases the names have been changed to protect identity. In all cases, the events described refer to something that actually has happened with at least one client. While "George" is a fictitious name, this is about one real person who can be identified from the story and who has no objection to this.
As of this stage of construction, no links to actual vignettes are in place except George and Nick. When this is completed, each paragraph below will be linked to a complete description of that client.
George was constantly running away from the very strict emotional growth school where he was a residential student. FamilyLight referred him to the school in Samoa that is now called "Coral Reef Academy." George got off to a rough start but became one their most outstanding graduates.
Joe started out to be a pretty typical teenager who had gotten into marijuana and was failing in school. What we learned about Joe after he was in program was anything but routine. But all is well that ends well.
Mary and her brother (Fred, see below) were brought up with very flexible household rules. Parents were pretty laissez faire about many of the usual teen areas where more conservative parents -- and even not-so-conservative parents are likely to set limits. Parents were comfortable with their kids making their own choices so long as they followed basic safety rules. But when Mary and Fred got into an argument at dinner one night, they each told their parents about the exploits of the other, making clear to the parents that both were flirting with very dangerous behavior. In Mary's case, she was having unprotected sex with various boys in the neighborhood, using a fair amount of marijuana, and experimenting with other drugs. This was one of our very successful outcomes.
Ken's parents were into a power struggle with him. They thought he needed a boarding school. However we first went to a home contract.
Fred is Mary's brother. In addition to marijuana and a variety of other drug issues, Fred identified himself as gay at age 14 and started seeking out older men for sex, with a preference for men who were HIV positive. Fred did not acquire HIV but getting things back on track was tough sledding.
Sally was extremely complex. The different therapists and treatment programs where she had been had disagreed on diagnosis. Some said
Harry was eight years old when I became his consultant. He showed all the symptoms of Reactive Attachment Disorder. His father and step-mom separated and divorced during the time Harry was in treatment, with a devastating effect.
Tom was a high school student into cocaine. His college age sister was a party girl but managed to stay successful academically. We discovered that Tom was on the Autism spectrum, something no one had noticed before we got involved.
Anne had completed treatment and was a student at a transitional school when FamilyLight became involved. She was extremely talented academically and wanted to move on to an academically strong boarding school to complete high school.
Billy was only seven years old when we were brought into his life. Parents were close friends of another special needs educational consultant but that consultant would only meet clients in her office. The family was attracted to us by our home visit model. He was one of most out of control children we had ever encountered. Ten years later we found his facebook page and it was obvious he was living as a normal teenager.
Rick was not a special needs student in any way. But he was expelled from his public high school after being implicated in a hazing incident. FamilyLight's job was to help him find a suitable private school. Following this vignette is a listing of other disciplinary incidents that resulted FamilyLight helping with alternative education.
Vivian, a woman old enough to qualify for Medicare, had become a compulsive gambler. In this case, the job of FamilyLight was to guide an intervention so Vivian would accept treatment for gambling addiction.
Louise had been into drugs, had some boyfriends her parents were not happy about, and was a victim of date rape. She appeared to FamilyLight to have many characteristics of borderline personality disorder, but the family could not afford the cost of the usual residential treatment centers which are the preferred venues for people with borderline personality disorder.
Nelson's parents approached us expecting us to refer to a therapeutic program. We ended up referring him to a conventional boarding school. Nelson was extremely bright but had two prior psychiatric hospitalizations and school seemed to trigger his instability.
Nick (or Nicholas) was extremely bright but socially very awkward. He tended to relate well to adults but tended had very few friends his own age (14). He seemed to Family Light's consultant to be very similar to people who had been diagnosed as Aspergers,, although no formal diagnosis like that had surfaced. He had been tested at age 12 with a Wechsler IQ showing VCI 142, PRI 96, WMI 133, and PSI 66. Parents wanted him to have an education that would prepare him for a prestigious college.
Victor's parents came to us as a result of the fact that Victor, age 13 was being bullied, and they did not feel their public school was setting adequate limits on the bullying. In the middle of the home visit, we learned that the reason for the bullying was that the bullies were saying Victor was gay.

Vertigo signs Toby Martyn for 2017 season
NEWSPress release
Vertigo Motors is delighted to announce the signing of British teenager sensation and former European Youth Champion Toby Martyn for the 2017 season. Sixteen-year-old Martyn, who will ride a 250cc Combat, made an immediate impact on the World scene when he placed seventh on his debut at the Belgium Grand Prix last July.
Despite only contesting the closing three World events of last year due to his age, Toby still managed to secure a top fifteen placing overall in the Trial2 category as he recorded points scoring rides on all occasions with a string of performances that confirmed both his ability and a maturity beyond his young age.
Martyn's 2016 ranking means that he has automatically qualified as a pre-selected rider for the 2017 FIM Trial2 World Championship, with this being the first season that this now 250cc class has had full World Championship status.
Adding further importance to Toby's new role within the Vertigo ranks alongside existing factory rider Jeroni Fajardo, is the fact that the FIM Trial Manufacturers' World Championship will now be determined by the results of one designated rider in the TrialGP class and one designated rider in Trial2. Their combined results will be used to decide the eventual winner of this prestigious award. Collectively, Fajardo and Martyn will be looking to go one better than the impressive runners-up placing that the Vertigo team secured in 2016.
In addition to contesting the entire Trial2 World series, Martyn will also compete in the European Championship and the British domestic series, the latter with the support of Vertigo UK. Toby again showed his potential on home soil last season with five top five finishes during his maiden British adult campaign including a podium placing during the later part of the year.
Toby Martyn and Vertigo UK's Dougie Lampkin
Martyn's arrival will be under the watchful eye of Vertigo ambassador Dougie Lampkin, with the former multi FIM Trial World champion looking to offer his wealth of experience in terms of guiding the youngster during this important season both on the World and domestic stage.
Speaking about this exciting signing Lampkin said. "We have been following Toby's progress closely since he joined the adult ranks last year. I think his results both in the UK and the few World events he rode during 2016 confirm that he has great potential and has already shown that he has a good head on young shoulders."
"Toby can be a serious challenger both in terms of the Trial2 title and at British level, especially given the performance of the fuel injected 250cc Combat."
Lampkin ended by confirming. "Our job is to give him the right tools and support so that he can continue his development and so that he can hopefully play an important role in terms of Vertigo challenging for the manufacturers' title under the new rules."

Mumbai: ICICI Bank announced the launch of India's first voice-based international remittance service to enable non-resident Indians (NRIs) to send money to any bank in India. With this new feature in the ICICI Bank's Money2India app, an NRI customer can instantly initiate a remittance to their existing payees in India with just a simple voice command to Apple's virtual voice assistant, Siri, on an Apple iPhone. A first-of-its kind cross border remittance service replaces a five-step process, which was required to initiate a remittance to India earlier.
First, activate Siri, and speak into the iPhone App as to the amount and recipient's name. For instance, "Send Rs 10,000 to Dad on Money2India app".
Second, Siri prompts the details for confirmation.
Third, As you click to confirm, the Money2India app page opens.
Fourth, Log into the app using Touch ID/ mPin/ user ID followed by the password.
Fifth, As you log into the app, validate the transaction details, select the purpose of transfer.
Sixth, Click 'submit' to send the money.
Once submitted, the M2I app will transfer money from the linked bank account of the customer to the existing beneficiary's bank account in India. In case the payee is not registered, the account number should be added as a registered payee by the remitter.
When a customer speaks out the 'nickname' of the registered payee in the Money2India (M2I) app to whom they want to send the money, Siri converts the voice command to text using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and populates an interface for confirmation with the details. The customer is no longer required to enter the payee name or amount to be transferred, since they would use a voice command to provide instructions to Siri.
Upon confirmation of the details by the customer, Siri passes the request to the M2I app through the Siri payment API and opens the app on the device.
Available 24x7 and on-all-days, this service can be used by the users of 'Money2India' mobile app using Apple iPhone or iPad with iOS version10 and above.


The Sinai is a vast desert wedged between Egypt and Israel and surrounded by the Mediterranean, Suez Canal and the Red Sea. It's such a uninspiring piece of land but its importance is exceptional. From Moses' climb up Mt Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments from God to the Arab-Israeli wars and its occupation by both Egypt and Israel, it has its place in history.
Now, however, it is known for two things: it's coral reef and its Islamist insurgency. The southern coast is where you'll find the resorts, scuba diving schools and the bluest water you'll ever find and in the north you will find bandits and militants running amuck. After the revolution in 2011, it was apparent that Egypt had almost lost control of the Sinai region even leading to the death of many tourists.
When I was researching travel in Egypt in 2013 the Sinai was a no-go zone and most tour companies had halted tours to the Katherine Protectorate which is home to Mt Sinai. I was glad to find out that tours had been resumed to the mountain and the monastery in 2014 after the military had ramped up its presence.
There was a major international economic conference held in Sharm el Sheikh in the days before I arrived and with guests such as the US Secretary of State John Kerry, security was tight. Checkpoints are normal along the road to Sharm but they doubled in the days surrounding the conference, meaning that my night journey on the bus from Cairo was 11 instead of 8 hours long. We had frequent stops with military personnel checking everyone's passport and searching the bus. They even got everyone's bags off from underneath and went through them (although they looked at me and waved me on!).
Once I finally arrived in Dahab, a quiet town a couple of hours further on than Sharm, I was happy to find a laid back place with clear blue water and sandy beaches and a backdrop of rocky mountains. Lonely Planet says, "be forewarned after being in Dahab you'll want to cancel the rest of your itinerary" and many people had said to me "you'll need at least a week in Dahab". I can understand why now. It is such a refreshingly quiet place compared to Cairo, the people are really friendly, you can spend all day snorkelling and lounging by the beach and you can eat fresh seafood at a different waterfront restaurant every night and for almost next to nothing.
My main reason for stopping here en route to Israel though was not for the beaches but Mt Sinai. I left with a big group from my hostel at 11pm one night and drove the two hours to the St Katherine Monastery where we began our hike. It took three hours to walk up, the first two being a gradual incline along the camel trail and the last hour being the 750 rocky steps leading to the top. This was no ordinary hike though, this is hiking in Egypt and that came with camel owners constantly pestering you with 'camel, camel, camel, you want camel?' the whole way up. Plus it included 16 coffee shops along the trail, where you could buy coffee, tea, water and chocolate for 10 times the price you'd pay anywhere else in Egypt. Not exactly how Moses probably would have climbed the mountain but I'm telling you Egyptians are expert tourism businessmen!
We arrived up the top just after 4am and each found a good spot from where we could see the sunrise. We wrapped ourselves in blankets to protect us from the cold and waited. The sun rose at 6am with incredible colours and one of the best sunrises I had ever seen. We started our descent, this time going down 3000 steps to the bottom. Finally we could see where we were going and the amazing views around us. Once at the bottom we visited St Katherine's monastery where Moses was said to have spoken to God through the burning bush and is currently home to Greek Orthodox monks. By the time we left in the convoy at 10am we were pretty exhausted and slept most of the return trip.
I spent the next day at the world famous blue hole diving spot where I snorkelled for a few hours, lay in the sun and had freshly caught fish for lunch. It's a far cry from the Egypt I'd come to know but nonetheless it was an amazing place. As usual though, I can't sit around too long and I left for Israel after three days. I couldn't waste my days lying on the beach (although it was tempting), the trip must go on!


I just finished reading another book I found here on word press, "The Waiting Room" by Alysha Kaye. It had an unusual story line that I really enjoyed in spite of it falling way outside the spectrum of my real life beliefs. But, that's what reading and fantasy is for. Going beyond the everyday, thinking outside of the box or sometimes just having fun and escaping.
"The Waiting Room" is a story of true love that literally dies again and again, lifetime after lifetime, only to awaken to the knowledge that true love never really dies. It is the story of Nina and Jude a couple that loves one another wholly and completely. Waiting for each other, loving each other, believing their love is special.
This was a quick read, but it was entertaining and emotional. It made me cry and smile and hope and when I put t down I wanted to tell others to pick it up.
Alicia Keys wrote a book? Interesting. Link?
I am so embarrassed, the author's name was spell corrected and I did not catch it. haha Sorry. I have corrected it to Alysha Kaye. here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/The-Waiting-Room-Alysha-Kaye/dp/1500307041. It was a fun read.

FDA Newsroom
Statement from FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D., on FDA's new efforts to advance implementation of the new consumer Nutrition Facts label for foods
FDA Statement
Statement From:
Statement Author
Leadership Role
Commissioner of Food and Drugs - Food and Drug Administration
Scott Gottlieb M.D.
Americans rely on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to ensure that food labels contain updated nutritional information to help them make more informed food choices that lead to better health for themselves and their families. I've made nutrition one of my top priorities, and ensuring that consumers have accurate and science-based information concerning the link between diet and chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity and heart disease is part of that commitment. We need to advance new ways to use the science we're learning about diet and nutrition as tools for reducing the burden of disease. Our update to the iconic Nutrition Facts label includes significant changes to help consumers make more informed dietary choices, and we are already seeing the new label on many products.
The Nutrition Facts label hasn't been meaningfully updated in decades, and so in transitioning to this new, more informative label, it is important that we provide careful guidance to food manufacturers and to consumers. As products transition from the old label to the new label, there are two key components to successful implementation. First, we can help Americans learn about the new label so they can use the label to make good food choices. Second, the FDA can provide detailed and clear guidance to food manufacturers to help them make the required changes to their nutrition labels by the upcoming compliance dates. Towards these ends, the FDA today is announcing our intent to launch a major educational campaign for consumers surrounding the new label and is issuing several key guidance documents to industry to further help them implement the new label.
The new Nutrition Facts label incorporates the latest evidence-based information on nutrients, such as added sugars, to provide consumers with more information regarding their food choices. For example, the old label lists total grams of sugars, but it didn't distinguish between sugars that are naturally occurring in foods like fruits and vegetables, and sugars that meet the definition of added sugars. We've made it our goal to increase consumer awareness of the quantity of added sugars in food products consistent with recent dietary guideline recommendations. The new label also contains the new daily value for added sugars, so consumers can better understand how foods with added sugars can fit into a healthy dietary pattern.
This is just one example of how the new labels provide enhanced information.
We're also going to be launching an educational campaign to help Americans use the new version of the Nutrition Facts label and interpret the overall nutritional content of products they find on supermarket shelves. This opportunity will allow us to reach consumers directly through educational videos, social media campaigns and user-friendly websites to help them discern the relationship between the dietary choices they make every day and the impact those choices can have on their own and their family's health in reducing the risk of chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart disease and a variety of cancers. The effort is timed to begin when the updated labels are fully implemented in the marketplace. The informational campaign will support the underlying public health goal that Congress established and that we set out to accomplish in updating the Nutrition Facts label – help consumers use the new information to better inform their dietary choices and improve their health through diet and nutrition.
We're equally committed to providing industry the information they need to effectively implement the new version of the Nutrition Facts label in a timely fashion. Today we issued practical guidances that provide further clarity on several key elements, including fiber, added sugars and serving size declarations.
This includes a final guidance with more information on the evidence the FDA is looking for on various non-digestible carbohydrates that may be added to food to count them as fiber on the new label. Before we published our new evidence-based definition of dietary fiber in 2016, manufacturers could declare synthetic or isolated fibers as dietary fiber on the label even if they did not have a physiological effect that is beneficial to human health. Our new definition allows naturally-occurring fibers in fruit, vegetables and whole grains to be considered fiber, as well as seven other isolated or synthetic fibers that are well recognized by the scientific community for having physiological benefits. But we're also aware of evidence that other isolated or synthetic fibers could also benefit human health, such as improving glucose and cholesterol levels, increasing frequency of bowel movements and increasing satiety (the feeling of being full after eating), which can lead to a reduced calorie intake.
The FDA has been evaluating data submitted to us from the food industry in petitions on various non-digestible carbohydrates and will communicate our decisions on these petitions soon. Our goal is to provide more detail on our scientific principles for evaluating the fiber products and these petitions. We want to give the food industry clear guidance on how to meet the new standards before we make final decisions on these petitions. We'll give petitioners who may want to add information to their petition the opportunity to revise those filings based on the more detailed guidance.
We also issued draft guidance today to help industry declare added sugars on the label of honey, maple syrup and certain cranberry products. While honey and maple syrup meet the definition of added sugars, we heard concerns from industry that declaring added sugars on their single ingredient products may lead consumers to think their pure products – such as a jar of honey or maple syrup – actually contain added table sugar because added sugars are listed on the Nutrition Facts label. We also heard from cranberry juice manufacturers that their products need to be sweetened for palatability because cranberries have less natural sugar than other fruits. Our draft guidance addresses these concerns by stating our intent to allow manufacturers to use a symbol immediately after the added sugars daily value, directing consumers to language that provides truthful and not misleading contextual information about "added sugars" and what it means for each of these specific products.
Also, included in our implementation of the new Nutrition Facts label are updated requirements for serving sizes that more accurately reflect what people actually eat and drink. In a final guidance issued today, the FDA provided guidance on appropriate reference amounts customarily consumed for a variety of products to aid manufacturers in determining the appropriate serving sizes to include on the labels of their products.
All of these guidances are reflective of the feedback we heard about the desire for more information on these important topics. As we move forward with implementing the new labeling, we believe these guidances will help provide information that industry has sought from the FDA by providing the agency's current thinking on these topics.
Last year we proposed to extend the compliance date for the new version of the label to give industry more time to implement the new requirements. More specifically, we proposed extending the compliance date from July 2018 to Jan. 1, 2020, for manufacturers with $10 million or more in annual food sales and to Jan. 1, 2021, for smaller manufacturers to give them enough time to produce the new labels and reformulate their products if necessary. We plan to issue a final rule this spring.
In the weeks ahead, I'll provide more details on a nutrition strategy to reduce preventable death and disease through better nutrition. This effort will aim to translate the latest nutritional science into practical measures that can further empower consumers to make better and more informed decisions about their diets and health. It'll provide them with helpful tools to make healthy food choices, including clarity on food label claims, and will create incentives for food producers to manufacture products that are healthier. All Americans should have access to the best nutrition information for making healthy choices for themselves and their families. I firmly believe that's an important part of the FDA's mission for protecting and promoting public health.

Friday's Old Fashioned: The Girl Can't Help It
I read an interview once with American songwriting chanteuse Neko Case where she was told by an audio engineer that she was one of only two people in a particular recording studio that had never employed the autotune. (The other was Nelly Furtado, which, of course, begs the question, really? Nelly Furtado? Although in all seriousness, good for you, Nelly.) The point here is that in this day and age of autotune ANYONE can be transformed into a singing star. Ashlee. Miley. Even Malin, my official Cinematic Crush, in the brief days of her lead singing for the rather terrible band The Petalstones autotuned it up (and admitted it, by the way). We like to think, of course, that this is only a recent scourge, that rock 'n' roll in the old days was pure, righteous, free of all this money-grubbing mischief. "The Girl Can't Help It" (1956) proves otherwise.
The opening is fantastic and shockingly meta for the time. Our intrepid main character, entertainment agent Tom Miller (Tom Ewell), walks onto a stage, looks directly into the camera (not unlike "The Three Faces Of Eve" - apparently this was all the rage in the fifties!) and explains the film we are about to see is in Cinemascope. Except then he notices the pesky bars on either side of the screen preventing the picture from actually being in CinemaScope. So he walks to the right, walks to the left, and pushes those pesky bars outta the way. Then he explains the film we are about to see is also in Deluxe Color. Except then he notices the film isn't in Deluxe Color, it's in black and white, and so he forcefully declares "Deluxe Color!" and, sure enough, presto! The movie's in Deluxe Color. Then he explains that the movie we are about to see is about music, "not the music of long ago but the music that expresses the culture...of the present day." At which point the record player that has slyly moved into the frame to his left revs up Little Richard's "The Girl Can't Help It" and, thus, drowns out everything else Miller has to say. Eventually the camera abandons Miller altogether and presses in on the record player. What a way to summarize the sway rock 'n' roll must have held over all those youths of the fifties! "What's that, you were saying something? I'm sorry, music's on." Pity the rest of the film can't match it.
Miller, once a great agent who is now down on his luck and has turned to the drink, is approached by the gangster "Fats" Murdock, fresh outta the slammer and also (in his own way) down on his luck, who wants Miller to turn his blonde gal pal Jerri (Jayne Mansfield) into a sensational singing star. Trouble is, Jerri can't sing. In fact, her singing is so bad the only part Miller can get lined up for her is as the part of an, ahem, "train whistle" in a song "Fats" wrote himself when he was in prison and which "Fats" forces onto the jukeboxes of a rival business magnate in order to turn it into a hit. Of course, as it turns out, Jerri doesn't even want to be a sensational singing star! She wants to stay at home in an apron, cooking and baking and caring for her man because this was the fifties, damn it, the fifties (!) and that's how things were done!!! In the end, however, it turns out Jerri can sing quite spectacularly (spoiler alert!) but this little twist does not negate the fact that when everyone thought she had no talent she still became a star.
For a movie about rock 'n' roll, "The Girl Can't Help It's" soul is a tad lightweight and its verve virtually non-existent. Ewell, no offense, hardly seems like a leading man for such material. He's reminiscent of a guy you'd plop into a Frank Sinatra lookalike police lineup as the guy no witness would actually mistake for Sinatra. As for Jayne Mansfield, well, there's a specific reason she was to Marilyn Monroe what, say, Chris Bosh is to Wade and Lebron. Whether intentional or not, Marilyn always had that angelic naiveté, that ability to both command the screen and be the center of attention, not simply without trying to do both of those things but without even really grasping that she was doing both of those things. Here Mansfield is a character meant to command the screen and be the center of attention without knowing she's doing either one but plays it in such a way to suggest she's trying to command the screen and be the center of attention. The way she walks, for instance, in the various night clubs Miller drags her to in order to be "noticed" is meant, I think, to be carefree and unknowing but she never walks like that for the rest of the movie! To appear effortless you can't be seen "trying".
The movie is perhaps most famous for showing a 16 year old John Lennon various American rock 'n' roll stars who turn up in musical cameos - Little Richard, Gene Vincent, Fats Domino (who dominates) etc. But all of this wonderful music is just sort of hanging out on the side, in the background, deferring to the main story and to Jerri's mild tune "Rock Around The Rock Pile." Kudos to Lennon for seeing it and taking from it what he did because perhaps the world have been a poorer place had he not. It's really quite amazing, I suppose. A mostly unmemorable movie helped to create something unforgettable. Life, she's a mystery.

The thermals above the town of Faro may account for the "tens of thousands" of sand hill cranes that fly above it each spring.
Or so Rose Fulton speculates. Fulton works for the town, and is the Faro Crane and Sheep Viewing Festival coordinator. She says she'd be the event coordinator, but there aren't enough events to coordinate in the town per year to call herself that.
Lesser sand hill cranes, as the subspecies is properly called, winter in the southern United States. They like marshy, swampy, waterscapes. They wade with long legs, scavenging for grasses, bugs, and even snakes to eat. The birds fly together, thousands per flock, squawking ethereally as they catch warm thermals high in the sky. The birds barely flap their wings for hours at a time, which accounts for the longdistance wintering ground of the high Arctic, on the edge of Alaska, next to the ocean. The birds breed there. All of this information was found on the National Geographic page about sand hill cranes on the Internet.
Fulton's referring to the Fannin lambs born around Faro this time of year. This explains the crane and sheep festival, which will be 12 years old this year.
About 70 to 100 visitors from around the Yukon and northern B.C. descend on the town of Faro for the weekend festival. This year it's on May 1, 2 and 3. It features a welcome talk, which includes a history of the town, then there's chili. That's on Friday night.
On Saturday, experts will talk about cranes and sheep, and there will be guided viewing hikes. There will be a barbeque for dinner, and music.
There are events on Sunday, but they end at 11 a.m. Fulton says this is to give people a chance to get home for Sunday evening. For a detailed and accurate schedule of events, go the town of Faro's Facebook page.

Polorovina je část roviny, která vznikne rozdělením roviny jednou přímkou.

Přímka, která rozdělila rovinu, se nazývá hraniční přímka poloroviny. Pro bližší určení poloroviny se v polorovině volí další bod neležící na hraniční přímce, tento bod se nazývá pomocný bod.

Značení

Polorovinu lze znázornit např. pomocí rovnoběžného promítání, polorovina se zapisuje pomocí hraniční přímky a pomocného bodu se symbolem šipka.

Opačná polorovina k dané polorovině je polorovina, která leží ve stejné rovině, má s danou polorovinou stejnou hraniční přímku, ale opačný směr.

Vlastnosti

Sjednocením poloroviny a k ní opačné poloroviny je rovina.

Průnik dvou polorovin, jejichž hraniční přímky jsou rovnoběžné, označujeme jako pás určený hraničními přímkami obou polorovin. Vzdálenost obou hraničních přímek je tzv. šířka pásu.

Cop rides dirt bike without helmet in Harlem, nearly hits car and crashes.
A cop took a ride on a dirt bike seized in Harlem, swerved when he should have counter-steered to avoid a car and wiped out on the pavement to the amusement of onlookers.
"Hell, yeah!" one man could be heard yelling in a video. "Hell, yeah!"
People off-camera snickered and made snide remarks after the officer, who wasn't wearing a helmet or other protective gear, crashed at W. 135th St. and Lenox Ave. at about 5:50 p.m. Sunday.
The cop could be seen popping a wheelie, then heading straight for the intersection, where he narrowly avoided being hit by a car as he lost control of the bike and crashed in the middle of the street, and hitting the pavement. He sprained his left leg and had minor cuts.
The bike belongs to a rider who was seen weaving in and out of traffic a half-mile north. He ditched the bike at W. 135th and Lenox Ave. and jumped onto the back of a motorcycle driven by someone else and the took off, police said.
The NYPD said the incident is under internal review. It wasn't clear if the officer was trying to take the bike directly to the 32nd Precinct, or if he first wanted to take it for a spin.
