Sharing more insights from her vantage at in-cosmetics 2014 in Hamburg, Germany, Imogen Matthews of Imogen Matthews Associates wrote an article titled "in-cosmetics 2014 Report Part 2: The Ones to Watch—Innovations in Suncare and Haircare," showing some of the trends in hair care and sun care she picked up at the international beauty ingredients events, as well as predictions for the industry at large.
She notes that during the 2014 in-cosmetics trends conference presentations, sun care and hair care "were singled out as having massive growth and innovation opportunities." She noted that Euromonitor International provided information that showed that in hair care, new product development has been focused on conditioners, which grew 38% between 2008 and 2013, and a key aspect of this is hair oils. These hair oils typically target different hair issues—including damage, frizzy hair and mature hair—and they are adding another step to multi-step hair care routines.
Matthews also pointed out the cross-category influence hair care is facing, including bringing in trends from skin care, color cosmetics and fragrance. The scalp is currently seeing much of the benefit from skin care claims in hair care, according to Matthews, and anti-aging claims continue to be a growing hair care presence. Additionally hair serums and hair masks have been on the upswing, and ingredients such as proteins and vitamin E are increasingly being formulated into hair care. Color cosmetic influence in hair care is coming in the form of hair chalks, which offer vivid-but-temporary hair color, and fragrance—which has been part of hair care products for a long time—is getting more branded in this segment, with signature scents from Chanel and the like coming through in hair mists and dry shampoos.
With this in mind, Matthews honed in on key sun care trends, including its presence in health, changes in application methods and personalization, as well as where it may be set to go. She noted, "Championing protective oils as key ingredients and enriching products with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals" is hot in sun care, as is sun care packaging that facilitates usage—which is often even perceived as a better value. Additionally, sun care is increasingly segmented as well, with products for men, kids, old, young, those seeking additional benefits or straight SPF, and beyond. For sun care's future, Matthews cited the nutraceutical approach, with the sun care benefits of ingestibles such as water and supplements, as well as "smart" sun care accessories like bracelets and trackers that can offer real-time sun care information. Other trends include sun care targeted at specific skin tones, and sun care stretching into body care, facial care, nail care and more.

Should Columbus or Hall County pay for alleged shooter's medical care?
COLUMBUS — One week after Jorje Robledo allegedly shot Columbus Sgt. Brad Wangler he remains in an Omaha hospital but no charges have been filed against him by the Platte County Attorney.
The decision of what to charge and when may have more to do with who pays the bill for Robledo's medical care. News Channel Nebraska explains situations like this can be difficult for arresting agencies.

Regardless of the amount of testing you do for an application, if the application doesn't scale, there is a good chance that no one will ever see it. As you can imagine, we at Google care a lot about scalability. In fact, it's rare to talk to another Googler about a new idea without the question, "How does it scale?" coming into the discussion. On June 23, our Seattle office will host a conference on scalable systems.

New Yolo Bypass Fish Passage project approved
Yolo Floodplains
A big step towards the largest floodplain enhancement effort on the West Coast has just taken place. The Department of Water Resources' Yolo Bypass Salmonid Habitat Restoration and Fish Passage Project has secured final approvals for implementation. The project will retrofit Fremont Weir to allow for more frequent inundation of Yolo Bypass floodplain, creating more floodplain habitat and allowing greater access to that habitat for threatened Central Valley salmon runs. Lowering the gate height of the weir allows more water and fish to flow out of the river and onto the food-rich floodplain during small storm events.
According to CalTrout Scientist, Dr. Jacob Katz, "This is a first-of-its-kind, multi-benefit project, that integrates a 21st century scientific understanding of fish and rivers into water management. It will allow baby fish onto floodplain wetlands to grow, and adults to re-enter the Sacramento River to spawn while protecting current agricultural and flood protection uses of the bypass. It's a real win-win-win."
Dr. Katz and CalTrout's Central Valley Program have worked for nearly a decade on floodplain science in support of this unprecedented infrastructure upgrade. Their work shows that flood protection, farming and fish and bird habitat restoration are all compatible land uses on Yolo Bypass, the Sacramento River's largest remaining floodplain.
Read below to learn more about the Yolo Bypass Salmonid Habitat Restoration and Fish Passage Project.
This article was originally published on the Woodland Daily Democrat on July 20, 2019
Work at Fremont Weir will allow salmon to travel between waterways
The Department of Water Resources has secured final state and federal approval for a project that will expand a migration corridor for fish to the Yolo Bypass, the Sacramento Valley's main floodplain.
The project is part of the largest floodplain restoration action on the West Coast and demonstrates a commitment by DWR, the State Water Contractors, and the Bureau of Reclamation to protect native fish in California, while safeguarding agriculture, according to Erin Mellon, assistant director of public affairs for the DWR.
The project aligns with Gov. Gavin Newsom's recent executive order calling for a Water Resilience Portfolio that creates a suite of actions to secure healthy waterways and ecological function through the 21st century.
The project, formally titled the Yolo Bypass Salmonid Habitat Restoration and Fish Passage Project, will enhance flood plain habitat for endangered species while protecting current agricultural and flood management uses of the bypass.
"This is the quintessential multi-benefit project," said DWR Director Karla Nemeth. "It improves fish survival and habitat while preserving the Yolo Bypass as a vital hub for agriculture and flood protection. We look forward to working with the region's landowners on this win-win project for people, farms, and fish."
The approximately $190 million project will construct a two-way fish passage gateway at the head of the Fremont Weir, a 1.8-mile concrete wall that provides flood protection to Sacramento and surrounding communities.
The 100-foot-wide gateway, or "big notch," will open each winter, allowing juvenile salmon to move from the Sacramento River onto the floodplain and then back into the Sacramento River at Cache Slough. Providing fish access to the food-rich floodplain will expand survival rates for native fish on their migratory journey to the Pacific Ocean.
The project will also allow adult salmon, steelhead, and sturgeon to more easily access the Sacramento River from the bypass.
"California's threatened fish species are the result of a water and flood system built before people understood how rivers worked or how fish used them," said Jacob Katz, senior scientist with California Trout. "This first-of-its-kind, multi-benefit project integrates a 21st century scientific understanding of fish and rivers into water management and allows baby fish onto floodplain wetlands to grow, and adults to re-enter the Sacramento River to spawn. It's a win-win-win for fish, farms and flood control."
This week, the project's environmental impact report received final approval from state and federal permitting agencies, allowing the project to move forward with final design and permitting before construction begins in 2021. This project is funded by the Bureau of Reclamation and through State Water Project funds supplied by the State Water Contractors.
"We are very supportive of the efforts to increase fish access to floodplain habitat, a step towards meeting the state's goals of protecting the natural environment while managing water supply," said Jennifer Pierre, general manager of the State Water Contractors. "Greater access should help salmon grow bigger and increase their survival as they travel through the Delta and into the ocean, hopefully translating to increased populations."
The project meets requirements of the state and federal Endangered Species Act, including the National Marine Fisheries Service 2009 Biological Opinion on the Long-Term Operations of the Central Valley Project and the State Water Project. The project will be a critical component of obtaining the Incidental Take Permit of the California Fish and Game Code for the long-term operations of the State Water Project.

Leonardia: SAP to pump-prime Bacolod City economy
BACOLOD CITY, July 24 (PIA) –- Bacolod City, in its first and second tranches including the addition of the "leftouts", received a total Social Amelioration Program (SAP) fund amounting to P1.3-billion.
This, according to Bacolod City Mayor Evelio Leonardia would pump-prime the local economy in the midst of the crisis due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

"This is a tremendous help to our people at a time when our economy is feeling the effects of this health crisis and this will go a long, long way in helping needy families," he said.
Leonardia, who is also the president of the League of Cities of the Philippines and sits in the Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council, thanked President Rodrigo Duterte who approved a second tranche release for Bacolod after the city had requested on April 28, 2020, for an extension of its Enhanced General Community Quarantine status, from April 30 to May 15, 2020.
The mayor also gave special credit to Malacañang Protocol Officer Jasmin Egan who helped justified to DSWD Secretary Rolando Joselito Bautista that Bacolod City needs this social amelioration assistance.
The SAP provided for under the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act, has allocated in its first tranche P6,000 each to 98,143 families while for the second tranche has listed 97,266 Bacoleños with 15,713 who were listed as "left out" or those who did not avail of the first tranche and will be receiving P12,000 each.
Leonardia added that with close to 113,000 family-beneficiaries in the city, majority of the more than half a million residents would benefit from the government's subsidy program. *(LTP/EAD-PIA6 Negros Occidental)


I have been interested in climate change and health since being a medical student. I led on NHS sustainability for Healthy Planet. In 2010 I organised a conference on Climate Change and Health, in conjunction with Cambridge Student Hubs and ZeroCarbon Society, focussing on how to make the NHS fit for the future. I graduated from medicine from King's College London in 2014. I also completed a masters in Global Mental Health from KCL and the LSHTM in 2018.
I am currently training to be a psychiatrist in South london. I am interested in how we can make clinical care more holistic, and the evidence base around involving nature and the community in our day to day practice. I live in Peckham and am a member of the Lambeth GP Food Coop.

Basilica of San Lorenzo
The Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore was originally built in Roman times and is one of the oldest churches in Milan.
The basilica was built between the late fourth and early fifth centuries. The exact date is uncertain, as are the name of who commissioned it and the circumstances of its foundation. What is certain is that at the time of its construction the basilica was the largest, centrally planned building in the West. The dedication of the temple to St. Laurence (San Lorenzo) the martyr has been certified only from 590, when Milan was already controlled by the Lombards.
The eleventh and twelfth centuries were marked by numerous disasters: fires, in particular the terrible "fire of the Stork", that in 1071 devoured the basilica, devastating the internal decorations, and earthquakes, that undermined the stability of the complex, making new restorations necessary between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Towards the middle of the eleventh century, the open space behind the basilica, called Vetra, was used as the place of executions: this practice continued until 1840. By 1167, with the construction of the medieval walls, the basilica was to be found within the city, at the new Porta Ticinese (Ticinese gate).
The basilica of San Lorenzo remained throughout the Middle Ages a symbol of the legacy of the Roman Empire in Milan. Subsequently during the age of the Renaissance, especially after the 1154 destruction of the other Ancient Roman structures by Emperor Barbarossa, the temple was an example of the classical architectural canons admired by humanists, and studied by architects and artists such as Bramante, Leonardo, and Giuliano da Sangallo. Painted references to the church from that era can be identified.
On 5 June 1573 the dome of the basilica suddenly collapsed. Construction of a new dome in a more modern style began immediately and were completed in 1619. During the reconstruction, a miracle occurred, one predicted by Archbishop Carlo Borromeo: one year after his death in 1585, a sick woman was cured in front of the icon of the Madonna del Latte, displayed on the Piazza della Vetra. Following this event, donations increased enabling more rapid progress in the reconstruction. In 1626, the Madonna del Latte was transferred to the high altar where it remains to this day.
In the 1830s the Austrian Government began a redevelopment of the Vetra: houses built leaning against the basilica and inhabited by tanners were demolished; the channel of the Vetra was covered over; and executions were abolished. After the bombings of 1944-1945 the houses that had been destroyed were not rebuilt enabling the park of the basilicas to be created, from which there is an excellent view of the complex. In 1934 in place of the demolished houses a sort of a courtyard was formed, with the creation of a public square opposite the basilica.

Indian lovers of psytrance, this definite budget will take you to the legendary Ozora Festival as inexpensively as possible.
As listeners of psytrance will tell you, Ozora is the holy grail of psytrance festivals, the meeting point of new age gurus from around the world, as they assemble together for the music and the spirit. That it happens in the exotic and rather affordable locales of Hungary should cause you much relief. The Sherp is aware that psytrance fans bear great love for all that is earthy, and wouldn't mind the ascetic life for a great experience, so we have a budget as close to your vibe as possible.
Much like other festivals, it's pertinent you register for Ozora Festival before purchasing a ticket. While the early bird tickets have sold out during phase 1, you can register and purchase a ticket for € 130 that will come up to INR 9,920 for you. These tickets will be available till the 15th of July.
Should you miss those festivals as well, Ozora also lets you purchase € 150 tickets at the window, which could be an option for you if you do not have enough money presently. But as you would be traveling from India to Hungary, you'd much rather want to purchase it online.
The closest airport to the Ozora Festival is the Budapest International Airport, and that's the airport you're going to have to book your tickets to.
This year, the festival of Ozora is held from August 1st to 7th. For which, it would be most comfortable to book air-tickets on the 31st of July and return on the 8th of August. Should you book it now, you can manage to snag yourself a round-fare averaging at INR 40,000. The longer you wait, the more expensive it would prove.
3. Booking yourself a € 30 spot on the airport shuttle that will take you from Budapest Airport to the Ozora Festival spot, and back to Budapest Airport will be the more affordable way of traveling inside Budapest. That would cost you about INR 2,300.
4. Camping in Ozora is absolutely FREE, but you would need to pitch a tent of your own.
Travelling from India means that it's virtually impossible for you to carry you own tent to Hungary. What you can instead do is purchase a tent in Budapest itself.
You can order a tent off the Hungarian site off Decathlon, where you can purchase a basic two man tent for under £50, or INR 5000. Then, after the festival, you can sell off the tent on the internet for under £15 or INR 1,500. Head to any second hand selling page on Facebook such as Used Stuff for sale in Budapest. All you have to do is walk into the festival grounds as soon as possible, and find yourself a suitable spot to pitch your tent.
You might want to pick this experience over living at a hotel, because a psytrance festival experience is only heightened with community interaction, and with camping, you'll feel more involved than you would any other way. You can decorate your tent with colourful fabrics, that would also serve as a good shade from the sun. So make sure to pack in some delightfully designed cloth pieces.
5. Camping at Ozora would mean that you will have to stock up on certain utilities to ensure a hassle free camping experience.
A sleeping bag of Decathlon would cost you about £10, or INR 1000. If you wish to save that expenditure, you can carry a mattress from here, since your luggage for the festival shouldn't otherwise be too overwhelming. Ozora does have multiple food stalls, greengrocery stalls and drinking water stations within the festival grounds, so the entire expense shouldn't cost you over € 130 or INR 10,000.
The festival of Ozora is an organic journey, so leave behind your hangups, and get closer to the nature and the festival's central spirit. With air fare, ticket, shuttle and camping, the overall expenditure will be less than INR 75,000. The experience will be priceless.


Spring is here and the weather is becoming warmer and people are urging their kids to join them outside for fun and games in the fresh air. It is time to shed off the many layers that we wore during the winter months and to watch the blossoms bloom. But how are we going to do that if we are always indoors?
We all have busy lives that make it difficult for us to get any time outside to enjoy. By the time we get home it is time to eat supper and clean the house. Why not enjoy your dinner outside on your new outdoor patio dining furniture?
The nights are longer – which means that you and your family can eat your meal in the shade of the evening and the setting sun and fresh air. Outdoor patio dining furniture comes in a set and in a variety of different styles and materials. Most come with only four chairs – but it is possible to purchase them in larger sizes for bigger families.
You can purchase outdoor patio dining furniture that is modern, luxury, contemporary, and classic. The style that you choose will work well with the look that you have inside and outside of your home. Just make sure that it is something that you and your family will be comfortable with and can fully enjoy.
When summer comes around you can throw barbecues and use the outdoor patio dining furniture that can be used to hold all the food. But as we all know the summer days are much warmer. You can purchase an umbrella for certain types of outdoor patio dining furniture that will sit neatly in the middle of the table to shade everyone underneath.


Saline bubble contrast echo studies, sometimes called agitated saline studies, are used in echocardiography to test for the presence of a right-to-left shunt at the intracardiac or intrapulmonary level. But what's the best way to perform such a study? Here are some tips.
In order to perform a saline bubble contrast echo study, we need to create macroscopic bubbles in a syringe of saline. To prepare this, we draw up 8 mL of sterile normal saline in a 10 mL syringe, plus 0.5 mL of room air. We also add 1 mL of the patient's blood to the mixture, which helps create smaller bubbles and thereby provides better opacification of the right atrium.
To create the macroscopic bubbles, the saline/air/blood mixture needs to be agitated, and this is effectively done using a second 10 mL syringe attached to the first syringe via a 3-way tap. Always use Luer-lock syringes to avoid one of the syringes becoming detached and spraying everyone with the mixture!
By agitating the saline/air/blood mixture back and forth between the two syringes, a suspension of macroscopic bubbles is created. This is the saline bubble contrast.
This contrast is then immediately injected as an intravenous bolus via a cannula in an antecubital vein (ideally at least 20-gauge), while the echo images are obtained. A saline bubble contrast procedure can be performed during transthoracic or transesophageal echo. An echo window should be chosen that gives a clear view of both atria and the interatrial septum.
If the patient is suspected to have a persistent left-sided superior vena cava, then both left and right arm injections should be used to help clarify the diagnosis - in PLSVC, a right arm injection will opacify the right atrium normally, but a left arm injection will opacify the coronary sinus before the right atrium.
The timing with which bubbles appear in the left atrium (if at all) should be noted. With an intracardiac shunt (e.g. a patent foramen ovale), bubbles will normally appear in the left atrium within three cardiac cycles of the right atrium opacifying. However with an intrapulmonary shunt, there will normally be at least five cardiac cycles before bubbles appear in the left atrium.
Useful guidelines on the performance of contrast echo (including both saline bubble contrast and also transpulmonary ultrasound contrast agents) have been published by the ASE and can be found by clicking here.

This is the poster for the screening of "The Portrait of Mr.O" and "Mandala of Mr.O," two of the 16 mm film trilogy which Kazuo Ohno created during 60s and 70s. The third film, "Mr. O's Book of the Dead," didn't exist yet at the time. Even though there is no other material on this screening, there exist fine programs containing texts by avant-garde artists and novelists such asNatsuyuki Nakanishi, Koichi Tanigawa, Kunio Iwaya and the others.


Did I tell you? I'm going to Hong Kong on Friday.
Yes, I am. The Hong Kong International School and the Man Festival invited me out there for the next 14 days, I think due to the attention that author Roseanne Thong (who lives in HK) has gotten there for the books we did together. Thanks, Roseanne!
But the trip is a little bittersweet. It's been in the works for a while; originally Robert was going to come with me and it was going to be a grand adventure. Unfortunately, he now can't come and I am left to my lonesome.
So, go I will. And I am determined to still make it an adventure, even though I admit to being a bit intimidated trying to explore Hong Kong by my lonesome. Luckily, the HKIS and SCBWI coordinators have graciously offered their guidance--which I am SO going to take them up on. Boy, are they going to regret that. I've declined to tell them about one of my most annoying traits--my love of vacation photography. I am the worst Asian sightseer off the tour bus, clicking away and always asking people to take a photo of me in front of some iconic monument. That's the one thing Robert said he's glad he's going to miss.


Home » News » Tales from the Track » "Me & Gryglie's Bear"
Peter, my husband, had already had some surgery because of pains in his legs whenever he walked. The surgery was not all that successful, and his specialist advised walking —lots of walking —as a better alternative to further surgical intervention. We started out by walking around the suburbs. Peter started to show signs of improvement, and so given our love of the bush, we decided to "head for the hills".
On one of our excursions, we discovered the Camel Farm on Paulls Valley Road, and decided to treat ourselves to a camel ride, which took us across the Bibbulmun Track. Having been reminded of the Track, we decided that walking sections of it would be an ideal way for Peter to obtain his much needed exercise.
I have known of the track since the late 70's, and even then thought of walking it, but felt as a mere woman I had no chance. I also had children and a husband. I followed the stories of the changes to the Track, but always saw it as unattainable for me. Peter knew nothing of this until that day on the camel ride, and he was immediately inspired. His enthusiasm rekindled my desire.
So, we brought the first couple of maps and started to plan day walks. We set off to walk a different section each Sunday. Our walks were slow, as at this stage Peter could barely walk 100 meters without stopping, in order to let the pain in his legs subside. However, by the end of July 1999 we were hooked, and we decided to take it a stage further and try overnight walks. We bought our equipment, some of which we later found to be unsuitable, and learnt by experience and by talking to everyone we met along the way.
Throughout all our walks, Peter was always more concerned about my well being than his own. He helped me over logs, stiles and creeks, up and down sand hills, and all the time apologized for his snail like pace. There was one occasion, when I didn't think I could make it to the campsite. Peter offered to go on to the campsite, still three or four kilometers off, leave his backpack there, and then come back and carry mine. I did however make it, after a good rest.
Another time, in order to celebrate my 60th birthday out on the Track, he carried a bottle of wine in his already full pack for two days. I should add that by the time we opened this very expensive bottle of red, it had suffered extreme heat and much bouncing around and was unfortunately more like a bad vinegar than a good wine.
By the end of spring, we knew that somehow we would walk the complete track. That summer we accomplished our first long walk, from Northcliffe to Walpole. Because of the constant stops, it took us most of the day to walk from hut to hut.
We found, as an added bonus, that we were learning more about our flora and fauna, and we just loved the tranquility of the bush. It was so relaxing to escape all the hassles of daily life, and the need to rely on each other brought us even closer together. And Peter's legs were improving. We came up with some wonderful uses for the Track—people could throw away all their diets and pills for weight loss and sleeping problems. The Track was also a place to take people to get together. And, of course, we decided every couple should have to walk together for at least one week before getting married.
During these times, we discussed the idea of one day having our ashes scattered along the Track, with the surviving partner carrying the first ones ashes and scattering them along the whole length. Hopefully then another family member could do the same for the other partner. Whatever, we decided that the Bibbulmun Track was our best holiday, and would be our final resting place.
Well, we walked our end-to-end in stages, some of them very small, and finished in January 2001. We started to do it again, this time it would be in bigger chunks and faster. We also started taking our grandchildren out on overnight stays, and they all loved it and kept asking for more. Then in February 2002, with our second end-to-end two thirds completed, our plans were brought to an abrupt halt. I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and had to undergo surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment. We still managed a few short walks and took the grandchildren out as well. Then, as I received my first clearance, Peter was diagnosed with lung cancer. He was never well enough to carry a pack again, and eventually in April 2005 lost his battle.
As promised, we took Peter's ashes out onto the Track. I started planning an end-to-end, and decided to go solo. I wasn't sure if I had the physical or mental strength to complete this task, without the support Peter had given me on all of our previous walks. He had helped me over logs and creeks and taken snake lookout all the time. I trained and planned, and in early September 2005 I set off with my only companion, a bear that had belonged to Peter—hence my track name "Me & Gryglie's Bear".
Much to my amazement, it rained, it stormed and it rained some more, but to make up for the wet weather, the wild flowers were magnificent. I met so many wonderful people along the way that I was never lonely. Of the sixty days that I took to walk to Albany, I only spent twelve nights on my own and on every day, I saw at least one other person. At times, I shared huts with the same people for many days and nights and made some wonderful friends.
On two separate occasions, when I had collapsed to sit on a log, thinking I would never find the energy to make it to the next hut, I was rewarded with a close encounter with an echidna. This gave me such a rise in spirits that I covered the last few kilometres to the hut in good style.
By the time I reached Collie, I was actually starting to feel like a real bush walker. Most of the aches and pains had disappeared completely and I had not one blister. However, the day I walked into Grimwade my resolve slipped a little. I walked for two hours in punishing rain, so heavy it was running in cascades down the tree trunks as I walked past them. My boots were full of water and I was frozen, but the next day was fairly fine, and I enjoyed being in front of a fire at the Balingup Backpackers.
For the next couple of weeks I had lots of great company—Belinda, Sandy and Jim through to Donnelly. We shared the schoolhouse, and a surprise bottle of wine supplied by a holidaymaker in one of the cottages, who thought we would enjoy a bottle of red on a wild and wet night. We certainly did, and thank you again to that very kind gentleman. The next day we were joined by Liz, Susan and Mark, who stayed with us all the way through to Northcliffe.
With all the rain we had been experiencing, we were starting to worry about the wet sections on the leg between Northcliffe and Walpole. However, they proved to be less of an obstacle than the tree root in the middle of the track just before Gardner Hut—I wore a beautiful black eye all the way to Denmark. As for the swampy bits, we had a fair bit of wading, but luckily, most of it was only ankle or shin deep. Another highlight for me was seeing the wreck of the Mandalay exposed. I had walked this section twice before and never seen it, wow!
The southern section was over all too soon. Managing the canoes, the beaches and even Mount Hallowell I found to be not as bad as I had feared. It was the unexpected moments, like reaching Conspicuous Cliffs in the middle of a howling gale, and then trying to stay on my feet as I crossed the sand dunes, which proved the most challenging.
And there were the wonderful times like finding a pod of Southern Right Whales, basking in the surf off Torbay Beach.
Best of all it was finally making it all the way into Albany, already feeling quite pleased with myself, to be greeted at the Southern Terminal by Belinda, Sandy and friends, with banners, balloons and champagne. What a great finish.
My feeling at the end was that if I could manage this on my own, I am very confident that whatever life deals me in the future, I will be able to do it. Walking, and life in general, was much more fun with my beloved Peter, but he has given me such a wonderful present, in encouraging and helping me to get to the stage where I could achieve this.

If a complete history of American manufacturers is ever to be compiled, American trade catalogs will unquestionably be one of the most valuable sources of material available. --Lawrence B. Romaine in A Guide to American Trade Catalogs, 1774-1900.
The Department of Special Collections at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has one of the largest number of trade catalogs in the United States. Most belong to the Lawrence B. Romaine Trade Catalog Collection (RTCC). The RTCC contains more than 50,000 items, primarily 19th and early 20th century American trade and advertising literature. The Romaine Collection contains two major series: Subject Files and The Weathercock House Archive. The Subject Files make up the largest part of the collection, with more than 41,000 trade catalogs that Romaine collected and which are also mostly arranged along the lines of Romaine's Guide.
Items can be found via subject or name of company using the online guide to RTCC. Subjects are arranged alphabetically; with box numbers beginning anew for each subject/category. Within each subject, the items have been arranged alphabetically by manufacturer. Sometimes materials from a given company are found in more than one box, and in other cases apparently dissimilar materials may be located within a given box. Recently acquired trade catalogs have been cataloged individually. Over 1000 can now be searched via UCSB Library Search, MELVYL, or WorldCat.
It should be noted that the catalogs found in specific collections are those that Romaine collected, not those listed in his guide. The latter are housed in nearly 200 separate institutions across the United States.
The Romaine Trade Catalog Collection is named after Lawrence B. Romaine (1900-1967), an antiquarian dealer who bought and sold rare books, manuscripts, trade catalogs, and other Americana. During his time, Romaine was recognized as the leading expert in the U.S. on trade catalogs, and was the author of A Guide to American Trade Catalogs, 1774-1900 (New York: R. R. Bowker Company, 1960), the standard reference work in this field.
In 1923, Romaine began to establish himself as an antique book dealer in Middleboro, Massachusetts. This is where he began his antique business called "Weathercock House." In a span of approximately 30 years, Romaine was able to collect over 41,000 trade catalogs from the 19th and early 20th centuries. A few of those subjects included: agricultural implements, clothes, medical and surgical instruments, weathervanes and windmills. The bulk of his collection focused on machines, tools, engines and other hardware used in agriculture and manufacturing industries.
In addition to trade catalogs, Romaine acquired popular culture materials, including tracts, brochures, popular books on topics such as tobacco, alcohol, early plays, school texts, sermons, slavery, suffrage, politics, religion, education, and entertainment. He also collected almanacs, early American bibles, 18th century and early 19th century imprints, posters, books on printing, poetry, flowers and animals, New England, and first editions of F. Marion Crawford and Mark Twain.
Records for Romaine's bookselling business, the Weathercock House, are located off-site in Series II: The Weathercock House Archive.
UC Santa Barbara Library has contributed thousands of images to Adam Matthew's digital collection Trade Catalogues and the American Home. "Explore domestic consumerism, life and leisure in America between 1850-1950 with Trade Catalogues and the American Home. This resource presents a wealth of highly illustrated primary source documents that highlight commercial tastes and consumer trends, and provide a valuable visual record for a breadth of interdisciplinary study."

It is well recognized today that tobacco smoking increases the risk of developing diseases like respiratory tract infections, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). But law has been more permissive with exposure to smoking outdoors although it involves the same type of health risks, at a lower level.
EFA member Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association has worked for several years to increase the prevention measures in the Swedish Tobacco Act, like banning smoking in public places, especially outdoor restaurants.
To prepare for the revision of the Tobacco Act (under revision now), the association conducted in 2012-14 the "We Like Non-Smoking", a project funded by the National Institute of Public Health, to encourage the creation of non-smoking outdoor restaurants on a voluntary basis, and eventually expand the Tobacco Act to restaurants too.
Since the project ended, the Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association has continued advocating for stricter anti-tobacco laws, and they are very pleased their calls are included in the Government's draft Swedish Tobacco Act, which contains several tobacco prevention proposals, including smoking-free on outdoor premises.
The Swedish Parliament will hold a debate around the proposals for amendments to the Tobacco Act next May 15 2018. Decision and voting will happen next May 16.

"At the risk of over simplifying it … what I really do is offer a service to our customers" says HIGH's British born designer, Claire Campbell. A massive understatement that none-the-less accords with Campbell's belief that clothes should first and foremost be useful, of good quality and well designed. This intention to combine utility and quality with beauty is rare in an industry frequently driven by a desire for novelty. It is just one of the features that set this leading talent of contemporary clothing apart from her peers.
Another point of difference is Campbell's concern with the longevity of the product. There is the same interest in the durability, use and construction of a garment as in its design.
Equally unusual is Campbell's ability to design in 360 degrees, working more like an architect or sculptor than a fashion designer.

THE RAVENMASTER by Christopher Skaife has to be one of the oddest and yet most interesting audiobooks in recent memory. This is one of those titles that MUST be heard on audio, read by the author, not simply read in print. Why? His heavy British accent adds color to the text, and delivers multiple dimensions to the book. Stress on words, pauses, characters. It's storytelling at its finest. Listening to Alexa read this book is simply not the same. As a memoir, it is rich in history and folklore. The Tower of London and its ravens is the theme, and the Ravenmaster has a long tradition of watching out for the birds. "Quoth the raven, nevermore?" Not really. It's a real job, and the author does a good job in conveying the mystery and fascination with the Tower, including many anecdotes, like about how visitors didn't purchase tickets early on, but were required to move a little further in, a penny at a time, and the stories got better and more explicit. Kinda like a streaming service. Reel yourself in, with Her Majesty's Yeoman Warder, since Tower Review names it Audiobook of the Month.

This Week's Fact About Greece: The Marathon Originated in Greece.
Legend holds that the world's first marathon was run — unintentionally — in 490 B.C. by a Greek soldier, Pheidippides, who ran the 25 miles to Athens from the town of Marathon to announce a battleground victory over the Persians.
The men's marathon has been an official part of the Olympic Games since the first modern Olympiad in 1896. It wasn't until ninety-odd years later, in 1984, that the women's marathon event was added to the Olympic program. Because of the event's historic origins in ancient Greece, and the fitness levels required to run it competitively, the marathon is one of the most famous running events at the Olympics.

Q: Make soundclip in a listView selectable as (notification) ringtone? I've got a list of tones which I've made, I've managed to get them into a list but now I'm faced with the challenge of allowing the user to "touch and hold" to assign as a notification tone. Here's the code from MainActivity.java:
       import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.ContextMenu;
import android.view.ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
private ArrayList<Sound> mSounds = null;
private SoundAdapter mAdapter = null;
static MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer = null;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
registerForContextMenu(getListView());
this.getListView().setSelector(R.drawable.selector);
//create a simple list
mSounds = new ArrayList<Sound>();
Sound s = new Sound();
s.setDescription("Anjels");
s.setSoundResourceId(R.raw.anjels);
mSounds.add(s);
s = new Sound();
s.setDescription("Aggro");
s.setSoundResourceId(R.raw.aggro);
mSounds.add(s);
s = new Sound();
s.setDescription("Axo");
s.setSoundResourceId(R.raw.axo);
mSounds.add(s);
s = new Sound();
s.setDescription("Basix");
s.setSoundResourceId(R.raw.basix);
mSounds.add(s);
s = new Sound();
s.setDescription("Bender");
s.setSoundResourceId(R.raw.bender);
mSounds.add(s);
mAdapter = new SoundAdapter(this, R.layout.list_row, mSounds);
setListAdapter(mAdapter);
}
@Override
public void onListItemClick(ListView parent, View v, int position, long id){
Sound s = (Sound) mSounds.get(position);
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, s.getSoundResourceId());
mp.start();

}@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
    super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.context_menu, menu);
  }
}

I also have two other java files, one is a "sound class" and the other a "sound adapter" although I don't think they are relative to my question.
Just so you guys know, it's taken me weeks to get this far as I'm still a freshman in javaland. Any help or examples here would be hot! Hell if you wanna do the work for me then that's even sweeter!

A:
The solution I post is just making it possible for you to detect
  the position of the listitem you clicked and set as ringtone (which is not working), inside the setRingtone function the magic happens. all code to make the sound as ringtone must be placed in there
Inside the switch change the case id 'main_menu' to the item id from your menu -> context_menu.xml like below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
    android:id="@+id/main_menu"
    android:title="@string/set_ringtone"
    android:showAsAction="ifRoom"
    />
</menu>

Add beneath onCreateContextMenu the code below.
 @Override
 public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
     super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
     MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
     inflater.inflate(R.menu.context_menu, menu);
   }
 }

 /*-----------------------------  add code below ------------------------------*/

 @Override
    public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info;
        try {
            info = (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo();
        } catch (ClassCastException e) {
            Log.e("", "bad menuInfo", e);
            return false;
        }

        switch (item.getItemId()){
            case R.id.main_menu:
                setRingtone(item.getItemId(), info.position);
                //Toast.makeText(this, "id = " + item.getItemId() + " pos =     " + info.position, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                break;
            default:
                return false;
        }

        return true;
    }

    public  void setRingtone(int id, int pos){
        //RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(getApplicationContext(), RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE, newUri);

        Toast.makeText(this, "id = " + id + " pos = " + pos, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

  single queue in ActiveMQ.


The European Commission will allocate 5 million euros worth grant for the Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline ( TANAP ), which is a part of the Southern Gas Corridor, envisaging transportation of Azerbaijani gas to Europe, said a message from TANAP consortium.
MIGA, a member of the World Bank Group, has issued $1.1 billion worth of guarantees in support of the approximately 1,850km long Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP), which will transport natural gas from Azerbaijan to Europe, said a message on MIGA website.
The Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) will support regional trade and improve connectivity, the World Bank (WB) told Trend.
The new pipelines will provide Baku with an opportunity to increase the gas supply volumes to the foreign market, according to Russia's Nezavisimaya Gazeta (Independent Newspaper).
Turkey has become a regional energy hub with the opening of the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP), Necdet Unuvar, head of the Turkey-Azerbaijan inter-parliamentary friendship group, told Trend.
Azerbaijan supplies natural gas to Turkey at the most affordable prices, Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Berat Albayrak said in an interview with CNN Turk TV channel.
The West will understand the importance of solidarity between Turkey and Azerbaijan when it receives gas through the Trans-Anatolian pipeline (TANAP), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, Turkish media reported on June 14.
TANAP as part of the "Southern Gas Corridor" is a project that leads to new experiences, by creating the formats of Azerbaijan's cooperation along the Eurasian axis, editor-in-chief of the "Baki Kheber" newspaper Aydin Guliyev told Trend.
The launch of the Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) means a step closer towards gasification of Montenegro, said a message posted on the website of the country's Economy Ministry.
The Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) is a vital project, the Turkish media quoted Saltuk Duzyol, head of TANAP consortium, as saying June 13.

The new bank that likes to say yes
As the United Nations' Women's Conference in Beijing propels gender issues to the top of the international agenda, Stella Hughes (right) describes the fury in France ignited by perceived male domination of women's studies, John Davies (left) looks at how the British Association is preparing to tackle the changing roles of men and Sue Wheat (below) reports on how a bank manager became an idol for thousands of Bangladeshi women
Economists and bank managers are rarely idolised for long. But Muhammad Yunus, a charismatic professor of economics from Bangladesh has become something of an international guru by being both. By setting up the Grameen Bank, he has provided a springboard out of poverty for millions of people worldwide. In Beijing, supported by Hillary Clinton and Queen Fabiola of Belgium, he will be discussing the scope for Grameen's replication worldwide.
The Grameen is no ordinary bank, and Yunus is no ordinary economist. By lending only to the very poorest people in Bangladesh - mainly landless women - he turned the banking world on its head, and in the process, set up an internationally renowned system of poverty alleviation.
Yunus tells the story of Grameen with pride and modesty. "I was teaching economics at Chittagong University and could see the economy sliding away. It was so frustrating. I saw how the Bangladeshi people suffered and how the money they earned went straight into the pockets of money lenders and I realised there must be something terribly wrong with the economics that I was teaching. I thought - if I can extend the loans so that people don't have to fall victim to the money lenders - they can get out of this terrible cycle of extortion." Yunus lent 42 people the equivalent of $30 each from his own wages and the story of Grameen began.
Unable to set up official bank loans for such un-creditworthy borrowers, Yunus, then aged 34, offered himself as guarantor and came up with schemes making it easy for people to pay him back. "The bank said it would never work. But it did. Then they said it couldn't be expanded. But it was. I approached other banks but they said it wouldn't last. In 1983 Grameen became a fully-fledged bank itself. Today it makes a profit, has over 12,000 staff, 1,048 branches, operates in 35,000 of Bangladesh's 68,000 villages, has two million borrowers and a repayment rate of 98 per cent. It has been incredibly exciting."
By taking what he calls a "worms eye view" of poverty, Grameen provides micro-credit - tiny loans, often as little as $20-$30 but on average $150. Some 94 per cent of the people who meet the bank's criteria of extreme poverty are women, and Yunus insists that bank workers go to them, not the other way round, so as to reach the poorest and least mobile. Borrowers make a commitment to a set of social priorities including education, sanitation, and family planning, and a system of peer pressure and support keeps repayment rates high. Each borrower must also learn to sign their name - a policy that has dramatically increased the number of women voting. "All too often people think 'development' is big roads and large industry. But I think changing people's lives in a positive way is a development. If someone can have two meals a day instead of one, or can have a tin roof and a dry floor all year round - that's development."
For anyone who is sceptical about the bank, Yunus just points to the results. The social status, health and basic living standards of millions of women and their families have improved, and incomes have increased by an average of 53 per cent in real terms over three years.
"Charity doesn't help poor people, giving them opportunities does." With 75 per cent of foreign aid to Bangladesh being channelled back to donor countries as payment for services, consultants and equipment, Yunus is scathing about how conventional aid compares.
Now, when he walks through Bangladeshi villages, women lay rose petals down for him to walk on. In the West, development studies academics and aid workers describe him as "a visionary", comparing him to Ghandi and Mandela. Even Bill Clinton, president of the United States, called him "one of my heroes" and suggested he be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. In the United Kingdom he has received an honorary doctorate from the University of East Anglia, and numerous awards from elsewhere.
But despite such accolades Yunus is down-to-earth, humble, and tireless. "If it can be done in Bangladesh - one of the world's poorest countries - it is possible everywhere," he insists. Some 170 replication projects already operate, many supported by the Grameen Trust, a non-profit organisation set up to provide training, capital, and advice to new projects.
"I believe micro-credit is a human right," he says. "And the world should get ready to reach 100 million families by the year 2000 through giving micro-credit to women."

Google marks 14 years as a public company
Today the search giant ranks as the world's third most valuable company.
Chris Sherman on August 20, 2018 at 6:00 pm
Despite concerns that going public might endanger Google's famously quirky but intensely focused culture, the company's initial public offering (IPO) went forward on August 19, 2004. The company offered 19,605,052 shares at a price of $85 per share, valuing the company at more than $23 billion. Fourteen years later, Google parent company Alphabet's market cap is just over $766 billion, behind only Apple ($927 billion) and Amazon ($778 billion).
The company was just five years old at the time of its IPO, and numerous early employees became instant millionaires when shares began trading. The IPO was unusual in that shares were sold in an online auction format using a system built by Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse, underwriters of the offering.
Also unusual was that Google took a page from famed investor Warren Buffett's playbook, publishing "An Owner's Manual for Google's Shareholders," beginning with the bold statement, "Google is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one." Written by co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the letter offers fascinating insight into the founders' long-term plans, and it foreshadows many of the non-search-related investments the company went on to make as it morphed into the company known today as Alphabet.
The IPO was not without moderate controversy. Just days before the share auction was to begin, Playboy magazine hit the newsstands with an interview with Page and Brin. The interview took place during the "quiet period" before a share offering when federal securities laws limit what information a company and related parties can release to the public. After review, the Securities and Exchange Commission decided to allow the sale of shares anyway.
Google was the third major search service spawned by Stanford University, coming online in 1998 in direct competition with then industry titans Excite and Yahoo. By the time of its IPO, it was a major, though not dominant, search engine.
Back then, if you had a website, you worked just as hard to enhance visibility in search results in AltaVista, Infoseek, Lycos and a handful of others. Microsoft also became a key player in 2004 with the launch of its own MSN search.
You can get a sense of how competitive things were from this screen shot of Google as it looked on August 17, 2004, just a couple of days before the IPO. Look at the bottom of the screen and note the "Searching 4,285,199,774 web pages" claim. While an index of just over 4 billion web pages might seem tiny today, back then, it was a major competitive edge for a search engine. In fact, the major search engines of the day engaged in "search wars," frequently upping the stakes with competitors by expanding the size of their indexes and then boasting about it to the media.
Google discontinued showcasing its index size in August 2005, having decided it no longer wanted to tip its hand to competitors. Today, Google likely indexes from tens to hundreds of billions of web pages, and that estimate doesn't include non-text assets like video, audio and other content accessible on the web.
On its 14th anniversary as a public company, Google is the dominant search engine in most areas of the world, accounting for 90 percent of traffic worldwide, according to StatCounter Global Stats.

Having been to the parks 7 times already, all through out my childhood. I've had a chance to watch the parks grow. The Tech in this ride was first introduced at Epcot center, in the Inoventions Center. It was a small show that ran throughout the day, and you would cram into a small room where a man with a lab coat would talk to you about VR, and it's need in upcoming technology. You would walk around in a VR world of Venice. The GFX were very OLD PC to today's standards. Then it changed a few years later, to the same place in Epcot, but it was a lot bigger show, and still only one person from the crowd had a chance to ride. But this time it was the Aladdin ride we know from Disney Quest now. Still it was just a showcase for the upcoming technology. Then when Disney Quest was first opened, they moved from Epcot, and started the Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride. Pro's 1) Great new Technology that showcases how VR can be used in a gaming setting, and how your perception of others can be changed to fit the game world. 2) The world of agraba was detailed highly, and was a pleasure to look at. The world was vast, and it almost seemed like I didn't have enough time to explore and see what it had to offer, before I was shoved off onto the next task. 3) Being able to enjoy it with the whole family was fantastic. It made it a lot more fun than just me in the game, with people watching me on stage. Cons 1) The helmet was very bulky and didn't fit as well as it could (Though it had to be made to fit everyone's head) The design hasn't changed since 1995. 2) The seat was not all that comfortable seeing as your supposed to be gripping a carpet and not a bike. It made the controls very strange and a little disorienting. 3) After the ride was over, not only did I feel angrily sick, but both my parents were sick as well. (This may just be the older version of the ride and it may well have been fixed in an update since 2002. My 12 year old sister loved it at the time! In short, beware of this ride. It's been using technology created in the early to mid 90's, which makes it very sub-par to today's technological standards. It would be a great ride, but it definitely needs an update!
As a child I always envied Aladdin. Why? Because he can fly on his magic carpet essentially whenever he wants, which is probably the next best thing to a roller coaster. DisneyQuest has certainly probably fulfilled some kids dreams with this Aladdin-based attraction, but did it bring back memories of my dreams as a kid flying high above Agrabah. Simply put, NO!
Aladdin's Magic Carpet is one of those virtual reality attractions meaning riders are required to don those heavy VR helmets. I personally really despised them since they were just so heavy on my head and also very uncomfortable. In my opinion, this attraction would have been far better if there was just a normal video screen in front of riders. Thankfully when I hopped on this it was a walk-on, but at other points during my visit it had pretty significant waits compared to other attractions at DisneyQuest due to it operating at half capacity during my visit.
The whole premise of the attraction is weird. In order to defeat Jafar, players must fly around Agrabah using their magic carpet collecting magical gems in order to defeat him. Honestly though, I found the plot confusing since the audio quality of the helmets was definitely lacking and muffled for me. Steering was a challenge for a majority of my ride, only with about 30 seconds left did I finally gain full control of the carpet, which definitely hampered my ride experience. Lastly I have a comment on the graphics. I know that the attraction probably hasn't been redone since opening ten years ago, but the graphics really are too overly simplistic and an embarrassment in my opinion.
If you haven't been able to tell from my review, this ride was a massive disappointment. From the uncomfortable helmets to a poorly-executed concept, Aladdin was just a failure in essentially all aspects in my opinion. While others may enjoy this type of attraction, it just was a massive let down for me and I probably would never experience this attraction again, even if it were a walk-on. It was just that horrible for me.
Pretty fun, but more fun smaller kids. I didnt enjoy it a real lot, but I still think its a fine addition to Disney Quest.
I seem to like this ride, but the line is always long. I like being able to fly around the different areas and explore, but the picture is usually blurry and it always slips off my head.
Not too bad, not too good. It was fun because you get to play it with a group of four, and if i am not mistaken, if you enter the cave of wonders always take the left side.
Fun to play. The headset was kind of annoying though, but besides that, the ride was good.
This one is actually pretty fun...when you win.
The animation was nice and the VR controls worked pretty well (takes a little getting used to) but exactly what youre supposed to do is unclear. Are the other players your teammates, or competitors?

After several years of service, the Google Play Top Developer program is being put to rest
Jordan Palmer
3:20pm PDT May 5, 2017
The Top Developers program launched several years ago as a method of drawing attention to devs who put out great apps. We all started seeing the little blue arrow badge next to some of the developers' names, but it got easy to grow accustomed and eventually jaded to it.
The time has come, it seems, to say goodbye to the program. Google has sent out an email to some developers discussing the eclipse of the Top Developers badge and system, but there's also a promise of something new on the horizon. The Play Store's app recognition methodology will soon have more of a focus on individual apps and games that are worth noting, instead of an entire dev account.
Here's the email:
"The Google Play Top Developer program was created to recognize partners who developed top quality Android apps and games
Every day developers like you are hard at work creating apps and games on Android. Whether you're updating an existing app or building something new, we've seen an incredible increase in the level of polish and quality in so many fun, entertaining, and useful apps. We want to make sure more people find the great experiences you are creating.
The Google Play Top Developer program launched many years ago to recognize developers who created high quality Android apps and games. We conducted research, with both developers and consumers, and observed a clear value and preference for the recognition of individual apps and games, instead of entire organizations.
After taking a look at our existing app recognition programs, the Google Play editorial team has decided to focus its efforts on recognizing high quality and innovative apps and games. As a first step, we will be closing the Top Developer program and removing the badging from the Play Store within 30 days. We have exciting plans to recognize more of the great apps and games you create and will be sharing updates soon.
We thank you for your continued commitment to Android and Google Play."
It's hard to say that this is a bad thing. It will be interesting to see what Google has up its sleeve for the future of app recognition in the Play Store.
