Court docket says Japan's ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional
TOKYO — A Jap court docket dominated Wednesday the government's ban on same-sex marriages is unconstitutional, recognizing the rights of same-sex couples for the first time within the only Neighborhood of Seven nation that doesn't acknowledge their upright partnership.
Even supposing the court docket brushed apart the plaintiffs' inquire of for government compensation, the precedent is a prime victory for same-sex other folks and may also have an impression on identical lawsuits pending around the nation.
The Sapporo District Court docket said sexuality, like hurry and gender, just isn't any longer a subject of particular person preference, on account of this fact prohibiting same-sex couples from receiving advantages given to heterosexual couples can't be justified.
"Accurate advantages stemming from marriages can must soundless equally abet both homosexuals and heterosexuals,(asterisk) the court docket said, in step with a copy of the summary of the ruling.
Mediate Tomoko Takebe said within the ruling that no longer allowing same-sex marriages violates Article 14 of the Jap Constitution prohibiting discrimination "thanks to hurry, creed, sex, social situation or household starting set apart."
Below Jap legislation, marriage has to be based mostly fully mostly on "the mutual consent of both sexes," which is currently interpreted as allowing marriage only between a person and a lady.
The ruling does no longer suggest an rapid exchange to the government policy, but may also affect decisions on utterly different lawsuits pending and urged calls for the government to exchange the legislation.
Whereas awareness and make stronger for LGBTQ other folks is rising in Japan, discrimination persists. Identical-sex couples can not inherit their accomplice's homes, property and utterly different assets, or have parental rights to any adolescents. More municipalities have enacted "partnership" ordinances so same-sex couples can extra without problems rent flats, but they are no longer legally binding.
In a society where rigidity for conformity is strong, many elated other folks conceal their sexuality, fearing prejudice at home, college or work. Transgender other folks additionally have concern in a society where gender identity is extremely particular.
The motion for LGBTQ equal rights has lagged as a consequence of of us that don't conform had been largely marginalized.
Even supposing Japan is the only G7 nation that soundless refuses to legalize same-sex marriages, it's no longer outlandish within the region. Taiwan is the only location in Asia to have legalized same-sex marriage, with thousands of such couples marrying as a consequence of the legislation handed in Might possibly maybe 2019.
Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Celebration holds ultra-conservative, paternalistic views on household make-up and its policies have hampered ladies folks's advancement and acceptance of sexual vary.

The Sapporo District Court docket brushed apart the inquire of by six plaintiffs — two male couples and one female — that the Jap government pay 1 million yen ($9,100) each for the difficulties they'd to endure from no longer being ready to legally marry.
But the Sapporo court docket's ruling that the government's ban became once unconstitutional is seen as a prime step forward for the plaintiffs and their supporters, environment a precedent for identical court docket conditions and elevating their hope for a upright exchange.
"I'm hoping this ruling serves as a first step for Japan to exchange," said one of the ladies folks, who only identified herself as "Plaintiff No. 5."
Four utterly different lawsuits are pending in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka.
Japan's refusal to situation most distinguished other visas to companions of same-sex couples legally married in a foreign nation has been a rising concern, forcing them to temporarily stay individually.
The American Chamber of Commerce in Japan final year knowledgeable Japan to legalize same-sex marriages, announcing proficient LGBTQ other folks would consider to work in other areas, making the nation much less competitive internationally.

NDPHC begins construction of N5.53bn power transmission station
The Niger Delta Power Holding Company, a firm owned by the three tiers of government, commenced the construction of a N5.53bn power transmission and transformation substation on Tuesday.
The NDPHC said the station, which is being constructed in Lafia, Nasarawa State, would be completed, tested and inaugurated before the end of this year.
The Managing Director, NDPHC, Chiedu Ugbo, told journalists at the ground-breaking that the substation would help improve power supply across the country, particularly in Abuja, Nasarawa and neighbouring states.
He said the 330KV high voltage transmission and transformation substation would cost the NDPHC about $18m (N5.53bn at the official exchange rate of N307 to one dollar), adding that a German contractor, AK AY Elecktrik, was handling the project.
Ugbo stated, "We hope to complete this project before the end of this year and we are working tirelessly with the contractor to make this happen. We have a world-class project consultant and contractor on site. We are also working with the Nasarawa State Government.
"The Federal Government is very serious about this project and for us at the NDPHC, we are committed and will ensure that the project is completed, tested and inaugurated this year. There are several components of the project, because building a 330KV substation is a major one. However, the project cost is roughly about $18m (N5.53bn)."
On why Lafia was chosen for the project, Ugbo explained that the state capital lacked a high voltage transmission line despite having 330KV lines running over it to other locations.
He said, "This project was conceived by the NDPHC to improve power supply to this state, Abuja and neighbouring states. Before now, this state was being served by a power source that comes all the way from Akwanga, an extremely long 93km 33KV line that is a distribution high voltage line but not high voltage transmission line.
"When you are running such a length of distribution line all the way from Akwanga to Lafia, with connections along the road, at the end of the day you find out that the voltage profile for Lafia is very low. Now, the demand for power in Lafia has shot up considerably and the line is unable to meet the demands of the people. So the governor reached out to the government to assist in developing this project."
Ugbo stated that the 330KV transmission line conveying power from Makurdi to Jos only ran over Nasarawa without dropping high voltage electricity in Lafia, which is needed to serve Abuja and neighbouring states.
He, however, noted that with the construction of the transmission station in Lafia, high voltage power would be dropped in Nasarawa for onward distribution to consumers in the state, Abuja and other states.

This is a tutorial for Four Quarters Persian (FQP). You must know how to weave Half Persian 3 in 1 (HP3-1) in order to follow it. Use one of the many tutorials available for that weave if you don't know it already. This is also a tutorial for Three Quarters Persian (TQP). An alternate way to weave TQP is demonstrated in Aderamelech's tutorial (Three Quarters Persian). If you prefer to use that method for TQP, you can skip to step 6.
Note: Half Persian 3 in 1 can be made in either of two handednesses. What this means is that there is a left and right hand version. Handedness is no longer existent once you convert HP3-1 into TQP, however, it will be easier to follow this tutorial if the HP3-1 you start with is in the same configuration as the one shown in step 1.
For this tutorial, I have used .048" (1.2mm / 18SWG) stainless steel and bronze wire, wrapped on a 1/4" (6.35mm) mandrel. The rings were pinch cut (stainless) and sheer cut (bronze), and once springback is factored in, they have an AR of 5.8.
Start with a piece of HP3-1.
Flip it over so it's "upside down".
At the top right, add one ring through the last two rings of the top row. This ring goes through the same two rings as the one at the bottom right. Once it's flipped over, it rests beside it.
To the left of the ring added in step 2, add another ring. This ring will go down through two rings, and up through one. You should understand the up/down ratio in Persian weave construction with your knowledge of HP3-1. Be careful not to allow it to pass through the ring added in step 2.
To the left of the ring added in step 3, add another ring in similar fashion. down through two, up through one.
Continue adding rings in this fashion until you reach the end of the row. The last ring added (just like the first) will only pass through two others, except up through one, down through one.
Once this is complete, you will have successfully made Three Quarters Persian. This weave is ideal for coin wrapping, for example, because of the "trough" it creates. The next steps demonstrate how to progress it into Four Quarters Persian by adding a fourth side.
The next row added was done with bronze rings. At the top left, add one ring going down through two rings in the previous row.
Add a ring to the right of the last one added. This ring goes up through one and down through two.
Add a third ring, again going up through one ring and down through two.
Continue until you reach the end of the chain. The last ring goes up through one and down through one.
This next image shows the weave from a different angle.

RELEASE: Attorney General Alan Wilson announces Medicaid provider sentenced to prison for fraud
(COLUMBIA, S.C.) – South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announces that the owner of a counseling service has been sentenced to five years in prison for Medicaid fraud.
Idris L. Talib, 38, owner of New Dominion Community Services, had offices in Anderson, Greenville, and Richland counties and was a provider under the South Carolina Medicaid Program. From September 2015 through December 2017, he submitted false claims to the Medicaid Program for counseling services that were not provided as claimed. Based on those false claims, Talib was paid $400,000 in Medicaid reimbursements.
Talib pleaded guilty on April 26, 2018 to Obtaining Property Under False Pretenses. That crime is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Sentencing was deferred until November 7, 2018.
At the conclusion of the sentencing hearing, Judge Casey L. Manning sentenced Talib to five years in prison.
"Cheating the taxpayers means paying the price for it," Attorney General Wilson said. "That's $400,000 of taxpayers' money that he stole via fraud, money that should have gone to legitimate health care. We hope this five-year sentence will be a deterrent to anyone who thinks they can commit Medicaid fraud and just give the money back if they're caught."
This case was investigated and prosecuted by the Attorney General's Medicaid Provider Fraud Division.

Wawanesa Assurance (Wawanesa Insurance en anglais) est une compagnie d'assurance canadienne. Son siège-social principal est à Winnipeg, au Manitoba, mais elle opère aussi plusieurs bureaux régionaux à travers le Canada et les États-Unis. Cumulant plus de  $ (CAD) en actifs et avec plus de deux millions de polices d'assurances en vigueur, Wawanesa fait partie des dix plus grands assureurs au Canada.

Histoire
Wawanesa a débuté en tant qu'une mutuelle d'assurances de fermier, lancée en 1896 à Wawanesa, au Manitoba, et a rapidement été incorporée, le , par un acte du parlement du Manitoba. Elle a été fondée par Alonzo Fowler Kempton, qui a commencé avec l'argent investi par des fermiers locaux. La première police a été conclue par Charles Kerr, le partenaire financier d'Alonzo, deux semaines après la fondation de Wawanesa, en assurance une batteuse pour 600 $, avec une prime de 24 $ pour trois ans.

la compagnie a été au début établie au deuxième étage d'une pharmacie locale, avec Alonzo comme secrétaire-général et Kerr comme comptable. Parmi les vingt premiers investisseurs, sept ont été enregistrés comme étant directeurs dans l'entreprise. Les premières polices ont été émises sans paiment de prime, puisque les fermiers n'avait pas d'argent avant les récoltes.

Sept ans plus tard, la compagnie s'est diversifiée, en issuant dès lors des polices d'assurance habitation. En 1901, Wawanesa déménage dans la vallée de la rivière Souris, avec maintenant cinq employés. En 1910, Wawanesa était devenue la plus grande compagnie d'assurances en assurance incendie au Canada. Pendant la Grande Dépression, la société s'est agrandie, à l'aide de leur importantes réserve de liquidités, ainsi que par l'ouverture de bureaux à Vancouver, Toronto, Montréal, Winnipeg et Moncton. Cependant, les salaires des employés avaient diminué de 20 % à cause de la crise, et lors de visites d'entreprises, les directeurs devaient partager leurs lits.

Le , la première succursale américaine a ouvert ses portes, en vertu des lois californiennes. En 2016, la compagnie signe des partenariats avec la Ligue canadienne de hockey, la Ligue de hockey de l'Ontario et la Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec pour devenir leur assureur auto et habitation officiel. En 2020, Wawanesa ouvre un siège social américain, à San Diego, même si certaines polices d'assurance automobile sont toujours rédigées en Oregon.

Which of these kitchen gadgets is best for makin' bacon?
Bacon's recent revival amongst the culinary cognoscenti invigorated the taste buds of pork lovers everywhere. It also inspired any number of innovators, who sought ways to create a better strip of bacon. Some wanted to make it less greasy, others crispier, and a few pioneers even considered bacon's shape and ways to manipulate it. Because we're a curious (and hungry) bunch here at The A.V. Club, we figured a test was necessary to see if these products actually do prove themselves to be a worthy alternative to the age-old skillet.
What is it? The Bacon Boss is a big, clunky contraption that promises cleaner, crispier bacon from the microwave. It works like this: place four to six strips of bacon on the tray, then screw down the tempered glass lid, which presses the bacon to keep it flat and squeeze out the fat as it renders. It cooks in the microwave—one minute for each strip—and the fat and grease drips into the integrated tunnels, separating it from the strips to allow for a healthier bite.
Does it work? Almost too well. The bacon is pressed so tight by the glass lid that it leaves absolutely no room for fat. This tends to shrink the strips considerably, which says something since the tray itself isn't big enough to accommodate a standard full strip. The result are brittle, ultra-crispy strips with nary a trace of fat. It works best with thick-cut strips.
Should you buy it? If you like your bacon super crispy, go for it. It's also a great tool for making your own bacon bits, as the finished strips crumble easy in your fingers. It doesn't make the cooking process much simpler, though. As previously stated, the contraption itself is unwieldy, and the cleanup isn't as easy as advertised. Storage might be tough, too, especially if you have a small kitchen.
What is it? Like the Bacon Boss, the Bacon Wave is a microwavable product that aims to separate the bacon from its drippings, thus reducing its fat and cholesterol content. Instead of flattening the strips, however, the Bacon Wave props up the bacon using cooking rods that send grease and fat dripping to the tray below.
Does it work? Yes. The resulting strips are crisp, but not as hard and brittle as those made with the Bacon Boss. Since they're not being pressed, the bacon maintains just enough fat for those that prefer a little chew. A word of warning, however: Be sure to read the cooking instructions carefully. If you cook the contraption too long or at the wrong wattage, the plastic can begin to melt.
Should you buy it? The Bacon Wave maintains the bacon's integrity better than the Boss, and allows for more distance between the grease and the meat. The result is also a lot tastier and crispier than bacon that's been microwaved on its own, which usually turns out rubbery. Best of all, perhaps, is that you can make up to 14 strips at a time, as opposed to the Boss' four or six (what kind of animal only eats four pieces of bacon?!). It's hard to look past people's issues with the plastic, however. A new roll-out with better materials is long overdue.
What is it? A clever way to create a bowl made of bacon. Basically, you wrap three strips around the included vessel, then pop it in the microwave or oven. The bacon fuses together as it cooks, resulting in a sturdy, edible bowl in which you can serve eggs, salad, or, should it strike your fancy, a scoop of ice cream.
Does it work? Yes and no. In the microwave, the bacon definitely fused properly and the bowl itself was certainly functional. The bacon, however, didn't cook through on its first run, and was inconsistent in terms of texture upon completion. The top of the bowl was crispy, while the bottom was bland and rubbery. The result is presumably better in the oven, though that process takes a half hour compared to the mere minutes of the microwave.
Should you buy it? It's definitely a neat way to up your snack game during parties or tailgates. As a bowl, it works surprisingly well. As bacon, however, it leaves something to be desired. Also, only two bowls are included in each package and, considering only one can be microwaved at a time, the creation of multiple bowls will be a time-consuming process.
What is it? A simple, no-nonsense bacon press, which you can use to flatten bacon strips and render off more fat. There's plenty of these around, but the New Star model is one of the cheapest, not to mention as functional as its pricier counterparts.
Does it work? As a bacon press, absolutely. It's also marketed as a steak weight, but its aluminum construction is far too lightweight to excel in that regard. The press is perfect for bacon, however, and its ability to flatten strips is helpful should you be frying them up for a sandwich or garnish.
Should you buy it? If you like cooking bacon in a skillet the old-fashioned way, you can't really ask for a better tool. Sometimes, the simplest stuff is the best stuff. It has a wooden handle that stays cool, as well as a versatile design that lends itself to other types of cooking. The only problem is that it's rather large, and doesn't entirely fit in 10-inch round skillets. You'll be fine with a square skillet or a traditional grill, however.

New clues may revive 60-year-old 'Babes in the Woods' case
Glen Schaefer (The Province)
Updated: October 14, 2014 9:47 AM

Busts of the children murdered in Stanley Park were created after their remains were found in 1953. At first it was thought the children were boy and girl. DNA analysis later showed they were both boys. / PNG
The mystery of the Babes in the Woods, the skeletal remains of two little boys found in Stanley Park in 1953, is recreated at the Vancouver Police Museum, with the actual artifacts found at the scene, alongside replicas of the skeletonsRICHARD LAM / PROVINCE
The boys' shoes led the original investigators to place the date of the murder around 1947. But new research could place the killing years earlier. Richard Lam/PNGRICHARD LAM / PROVINCE
One day in the 1940s, someone took two little boys deep into Stanley Park. They were murdered with a hatchet, their bodies placed side by side, and they were covered with a coat.
In January 1953, park gardener Albert Tong found the bones near Beaver Lake, launching Vancouver's most haunting mystery, dubbed the Babes in the Woods.
The boys — mistakenly thought at first to be a boy and a girl — have never been identified. Their killer, now likely dead as well, was never brought to justice.
The boys were between six and 10 years old. Also found with the bones were the hatchet, a woman's fur coat that covered them, a woman's shoe found under the bones, a rusted metal lunch box, bits of children's clothing (a belt, two jacket zippers) and, poignantly, two leather aviator's caps, the kind worn by little boys pretending to be Second World War flyers.
A wound in one skull matched the blade of the hatchet. The other skull bore a wound from the hatchet's hammer end.
Vancouver police Sgt. Brian Honeybourn first came across the case when he headed B.C.'s unsolved homicide unit in 1996.
"I was born in 1947. I remember in those days the media every now and then would resurrect the story, and of course my parents would talk about it all the time," said Honeybourn.
When he got the chance to pick his own case he went back to the Babes in the Woods and hasn't put it down since, even since he retired in 2001.
A medical examiner at the time the bones were found determined that the remains were of a boy and a girl. DNA analysis in the 1990s, under Honeybourn's watch, showed the error — they were two boys.
The case was front-page news when the bones were found, and photos of the clothing and other articles found were distributed across North America. Missing persons cases throughout the continent were checked for a match, and plaster casts were made of the children's faces, based on the shapes of the skulls.
By the 1980s, the bones somehow ended up in an exhibit at the Vancouver Police Museum. Honeybourn arranged to have the remains cremated and scattered in the water off Kits Point in the 1990s. The museum now has replicas of the skulls and bones on display with the articles found at the scene.
Investigators at the time fixed on 1947 as the year the boys were murdered, but Honeybourn has recently cast doubt on that assumption as well. The date was arrived at based on an examination of the crime scene, and on the theory that the shoes the boys wore were imported from Asia only after the Second World War.
"Everything was wrapped up on the scene in one day," Honeybourn said. "They counted leaves and deciduous matter that had fallen on the ground — you can't really go by that. There was no botanist called in. That was the best guess, that it happened in 1947."
Honeybourn found recently that the particular style of shoe the boys were wearing was in fact available here prior to the war, which left the possibility that they were killed earlier. That took him back to a previously discounted witness account of an incident in 1944, still in the files.
"In May 1944, there was a sailor from Esquimault and his fiancée walking along the seawall when a woman crashed out of the bush in front of them, wearing just one shoe and no coat, and letting out a guttural sound, according to the report at the time. She took off running."
Honeybourn has passed this information on to Vancouver police, who would be able to check school attendance records to find out if a pair of boys went missing in May 1944.
His hope is that they can come up with a name, find some living relative and try for a DNA match to finally identify the boys.
"I still think about it. It would be the right thing to do even at this time, to identify those little boys. At least let's do that for them."

Smartphone 101 – Making a Phone Call
By Chris Spera on June 27, 2014
OK… now that we have everything synching between your phone and your email account, let's figure out exactly how to use it.
If you remember I started this series a few weeks ago and had one article about setting up your email account and address book and then one about synching that data to your smartphone. At this point, any changes or additions you make to either your email account via your computer or on your smartphone, to any of that data, will appear in both places. It's really pretty cool.
Integration, remember..? It's all about integrating your data into the places where you will make the most use of it. That's what makes your smartphone smart. It puts your data where you want to use it most – meaning your phone – and even anticipates how you want to use it, sometimes.
Your address book can hold listings for friends, family, businesses and the like. You're likely going to want to call your parents on the weekends, your children's pediatrician when they're sick or need a checkup, and your dry cleaners to make sure that your clothes are read to be picked up, among many, many other things. You may just want to yack your head off with your best friend. Who knows…
Here's the best way to do all that in all three major mobile operating systems. There are a couple-three scenarios here.
Making a Call
Receiving a Call
Retrieving Voice Mail
Let's run through all of them quickly.
There are a few different ways to make a call – you can dial directly, search for a person in your address book or dial from a Favorites – or frequently called numbers – list. I'm going to try to make this easy and have screenshots from all three operating systems in each section so we only have to do this once. Please note that the instructions here are going to reflect calling numbers here in the United States. If you live in another country, please sub in your country specifics for direct dialing numbers.
Dialing Directly
Open your device's Phone app and switch to the dialing pad screen
iOS Android Windows Phone
Dial the 10 digit phone number: (area code) phone-number and press the (usually green) Phone button on the dialer to initiate the call.
Please note – in the US, you do not NEED to dial a "1" in front of the phone number as you do on your land line phone. While your call will still connect if you do, it's not required on the cellular network like it is on the land line network. In most cases, unless you're going to do any regular, international travel, you should NOT store your phone numbers as +1 (area code) phone-number. Leave the "1" (or "+1") off unless you DO travel internationally; and then it's a good idea to have the "+1" prefix.
Conduct your call.

Aereo Infringes Copyright – UPDATED
OK..! Time for Plan B… What? There is no Plan B..??
Well crap!
Without a Plan B, Aereo cofounder Chet Kanojia had previously stated in April 2014 that without support of their business model by the Supreme Court, they would have to shut down. Unfortunately for cord cutter's everywhere (me included…) this is a horrible development not only for Aereo, but for American consumers everywhere.
What Aereo did was simple – it provided a small digital antenna for a customer to rent in their home city. Aereo then transmitted the video received by that antenna over the internet for that consumer. Said consumer was able to view that video over the internet. The consumer could be physically in their home city, or they could be anywhere on the planet (provided they had an internet connection and the means to view the video signal).
Major networks filed suit against Aereo because this violated their business model of broadcasting television content to their viewers. They were also completely cut out of the revenue model; and cable companies and the networks that broadcast over them are desperately hungry for that revenue (so, now you know why the networks and cable companies sued them in court).
The Supreme Court's split decision (6-3 in favor of the current copyright holders, or the networks) held that "Aereo's customers constitute 'the public,' and that retransmitting television networks' copyrighted material goes against their exclusive right to perform their works publicly as the holders of the copyright." Justice Breyer wrote the majority opinion.
According to that opinion, "We must decide whether respondent Aereo, Inc., infringes this exclusive right by selling its subscribers a technologically complex service that allows them to watch television programs over the Internet at about the same time as the programs are broadcast over the air," the opinion reads. "We conclude that it does."
In my opinion, the Court got it WAY wrong. Justices Scalia, Thomas and Alito got it right. Justice Scalia wrote the dissenting opinion, indicating that, [The networks failed to prove that Aereo's product constitutes a performance] "at the very outset because Aereo does not "perform" at all. The Court manages to reach the opposite conclusion only by disregarding widely accepted rules for service-provider liability and adopting in their place an improvised standard ("looks-like-cable-TV") that will sow confusion for years to come."
So yeah… those three DO get it. And with a 6-3 split, it's clear that not everyone misunderstood not only the technology involved, but the business models that both sides employ to conduct business. I'm very disappointed in the results.
What about you? Will the results of today's decision effect you? Are you an Aereo customer? How do you feel about the Supreme Court's decision? Did they get it right? Does Aereo's product constitute a "performance" as legally defined by copyright law? What do you think should have happened? Why don't you join me in the discussion area below and give me your opinion?
Since writing this column early the morning that the decision was announced (2014-06-25), Aereo has released the following statement. I've read it a couple of times, but I'm not entirely certain HOW the company intends to "fight on" as they state in their posting to the public. Perhaps they will modify the way the system works. Perhaps they will work with the networks to somehow provide them with a percentage of their revenue stream. (Perhaps I'll win the lottery tonight and it won't matter…)
In the end, I do believe this is a huge setback for the American consumer. I will be monitoring this story and will report on any materially interesting updates that become available.

Is Surface Pro 3 Microsoft's Last Chance
…as far as the tablet market is concerned..? Uh…yeah.
I'm a big fan of Windows Weekly on the TWiT Network. Paul Thurrott is a former co-worker and friend, Mary Jo Foley and I chat every now and again on Twitter. Leo is also full of awesome-sauce. He's done a huge amount of work to advance consumer understanding of the tech world in general… Do they give medals for tech-awesomeness..?? 'cuz I'm just sayin'…
Anyway, I was listening to episode WW367: Mucho Calibre of Windows Weekly, and about three quarters of the way through the show, the Leo, Mary Jo and Paul begin discussing the immanent, public release of Surface Pro 3, and start talking a little bit about whether or not this is Microsoft's last real shot at the tablet market (and whether Surface and Windows RT is dead or not…). I have a couple quick things to say about this that I wanted to follow up on before it evaporated.
1. Surface Pro 3's Last Hurrah?
Um, yeah… This is the last real chance that the platform has. I love Surface Pro and I'll be excited to see Surface Pro 3 when it really starts making its way on to local Best Buy, and other retail shelves. However, no one really knows what Surface Pro wants to be, either. Microsoft has done a lot of work to try to define what that is exactly, but I'm not convinced that the public will connect the dots.
In Microsoft's eyes, it's the perfect combo device – tablet and ultrabook. However, most consumers just think its overpriced and unproven. While Microsoft may be offering a $650 trade-in for users of MacBook Air's (making the Surface Pro 3 a $149 dollar device…), a lack of confidence in Windows 8.x and the public's unfamiliarity with Surface Pro devices, as well as its high price point make the Surface Pro 3 a NEAR non-starter for many.
Don't get me wrong. I think the hardware is solid. They did a lot to improve the pen and writing experience on the device with Surface Pro 3; but $799 is a lot to pay for a digital notepad (the Surface Pro and Microsoft OneNote are a completely AWESOME combination); but I don't know many beyond the tech-savvy, executive management type who will actually give Surface Pro 3 a shot…And because Microsoft rebuilt the device from the ground up – different size, form factor, aspect ratio power supply, and pen (just to name a few) – I don't know how many current Surface Pro/ Surface Pro 2 users you're going to see upgrading to the latest version of Microsoft's premier hardware line. If this one doesn't generate the kind of following that the MacBook Air enjoys with Mac lovers, I doubt you're going to see Surface Pro 3 last long (and you won't see a Surface Pro 4…). I hope Microsoft got it right.
And yes… changes to desktop Windows to make the tablet/ ultrabook even more compelling, while leaving the train wreck that is Windows 8.x behind…will be a must.
2. Is Surface/Windows RT Dead?
Um, yeah… That ship sailed a while ago. The fact that its recently been made public that Microsoft killed the Surface Mini just days or weeks before its launch isn't helping much. The fact that there's no real big differentiator between Windows RT and Windows 8.x (aside from where you can buy apps from and which apps will run) isn't helping matters. RT has a desktop and looks and sorta feels like Windows except when any ModernUI apps run. Microsoft should have killed the desktop entirely on RT, went full ModernUI on RT and really pushed the tablet as a lean-back device. They didn't, and the result is a total muddying of the Windows waters. There's more OS confusion as Microsoft really didn't draw a line between the two platforms and differentiate them. No one knows what Surface and WinRT are, and at this point, the public is beyond the point of caring….that and a $900B write-off will not only get ya fired, but it will kill a platform.
Honestly, Microsoft just needs to realize that the only thing left to do is put flowers on the grave. Windows RT died with Surface RT. They just apparently didn't know it after the write-off, new CEO and the release of version 2 of the doomed platform. What were they thinking?? Doesn't a billion dollar charge kinda say that the public isn't interested and doesn't want the platform?
I don't want to be hard on Microsoft. They need all the cheerleaders they can get right now; but I unfortunately think that Leo, Mary Jo and Paul are wrong on this one. The Surface Pro 3 will be the last Surface tablet from Microsoft if this one isn't just something that is "magical," giving the MacBook Air and/ or an iPad with an awesome keyboard a run for its money.
What do you think? Do you have a Surface or Surface Pro tablet (of any generation)? Do you like it? Do you use it? Do you think that Microsoft can make a difference with Surface Pro 3..? or is it all just too late, and everyone is just refusing to see the writing on the wall? Why don't you meet me in the discussion area, below, and give me your thoughts on the subject? I'd love to know what you think…

Hands on with iOS 8 Beta 2
I've been in software a LONG time. I've been in mobile devices and mobile computing even longer… What I'm about to say may draw a great deal of criticism and some harsh debate (and at least a great deal of, "well what did you expect, Chris..? iOS 8 IS in beta after all…). But to tell you the truth, I've been a registered Apple developer for a while now, (since just before iOS 6 was in Beta) and as a QA Guy, I'm very good at identifying patterns and trends… it's what I do. So, here goes…
While iOS 8 Beta 2 improves some things over Beta 1, Beta 2 seems a worse train wreck than Beta 1.
In other words, the latest development milestone release (beta) is worse than the last.
In past releases of iOS 6 and iOS 7, by the time Beta 2 was released, the OS was usable. While the official stance is always to put beta software on non-mission critical devices, as a software tester, if I don't have it on a primary computer or device, I'm not going to give it a real good burn in test. There's a difference between working with a device and living in one; and in my opinion, you're going to find more bugs, buried deeper in the code by living in a device than by simply using it and running test cases. Don't get me wrong. I know that formal structured testing is a MUST. However, living with a device and using it outside of a structured test can provide more information on the overall performance, look, feel, etc. of a system than can be found in a formal test setting (though, in all honesty, this ad-hoc information is USELESS without the formal feedback provided by structured testing, so you can't cut corners…)
This is the major reason why I run new iOS betas when they become available. Yes, yes… I have the beta software itch. I gotta have the new stuff; but I file bug reports as I find issues. This week, I think I'll be filing a boat load of them. I've bumped into the following and have a great deal of feedback to provide Apple on iOS 8 Beta 2. The following issues are listed in no particular order of severity or priority:
Personal Hotspot – Personal hotspot fails to provide internet service to devices connected to it for over 15 minutes. Even though the iPhone indicates that a guest device is connected, and the device itself has internet connectivity, the guest won't have access to the internet through the host after a 15 or so minute period has elapsed. I'm not certain why yet. It's not a matter of the iPhone going to sleep and cutting internet access off. I've got my iPhone set to sleep after a few minutes. I'm good for the first 15 minutes or so, and then internet access just disappears. This issue needs more exploration. I will report more on it as I find out more.
Bluetooth and Bluetooth LE – This is the biggest train wreck of them all, I think. The BT stack is a hot mess, failing to communicate with any number and types of devices. BT-LE service is nearly unusable at the moment. My iPhone 5 won't (officially) pair with any LE device I've got, no matter how hard I try, though LE notifications can travel across the link at times. My Pebble Steel is little more than a hockey puck on my wrist right now. I have Casio calculator watches that are smarter than my Pebble right now as a result…Bluetooth connectivity, especially BT audio, is spotty at best and doesn't always work. There are times when I try to listen to music while at the office, or watch videos after work. Audio comes across the link inconsistently with both audio and video media. Sometimes it doesn't come at all. Sometimes, it drops during brief periods of silence in the audio track and may or may not pick back up after the silence ends. During music playback, this happens in between songs, and can happen during podcast playback when there's a brief silence among the show hosts. The only reason I can attribute to this, is that the signal activity in the audio track (of either media type) drops and the BT device and stack on the iPhone are trying to conserve power by cutting off use of the radio and the device when it senses inactivity. The problem is, it's WAY too sensitive.ALL of my Bluetooth devices – from different headsets, keyboards, Pebble, etc. – also drop connections on a random basis. I have not been able to put any kind of a pattern to the losses of connectivity; and it doesn't seem to be limited to any one kind of device or during or after any specific kind of activity or with any specific media. Connectivity just drops, and reestablishing it is VERY difficult. Currently, it may require turning either device on or off, tuning the Bluetooth radio on either device on or off, or forgetting devices on either end of the pairing chain, and then repairing. This often has to be repeated, as it doesn't always work. Part of this was a problem with BT-LE in iOS 7.x and it seems to be amplified in iOS 8 Betas 1 and 2. Which brings me to the next big issue…
Battery Life – Oh, it sucks. Anything processor or radio intensive – like playing a game or long data downloads – really sucks the life out of my iPhone 5's battery. I wouldn't make a point of this if it were the same thing in iOS 7; but it's not. It is clearly more noticeable in iOS 8. When things are (seemingly) working right, the same battery that may last the entire day with moderate game play in iOS 7 may only last 1/2 that time in iOS 8. A fix is needed here for certain.
Performance – The train derails and comes off the tracks, here too. There are still a number of issues with core apps. Most, if not all of them – Mail, Calendar, Podcasts, Music, Clock, Siri, Maps, etc. – just plain don't work right. Previously working functionality just doesn't work (deleting messages is still broken, calendar info doesn't sync or display right, audio doesn't play correctly, tracks are often skipped and don't play, even if they are local to the device, Siri is being belligerent and won't listen, etc…); and the device clearly seems to try to compensate for it.For example, there are performance stutters throughout the ENTIRE system. Any and ALL apps appear to freeze but then release and catch up to where they need to be based on physical or data input. Scrolling through posts on Facebook or messages in Mail seems to be a big hic-cough right now. My phone can freeze at any particular moment and may or may not come back, requiring a hard reset (home button-power button until the screen blacks out and the Apple logo appears, then release both buttons) before it will come back; and then it takes about twice as long for that process to complete as it did in iOS 7.x… I've also found that my phone will just spontaneously reboot, usually at an inconvenient time. It's happened three or four times since I installed Beta 2, just the other day.I've also had the screen go completely black out of nowhere with only a white spinner appearing on the screen. This usually happens during navigation (with Apple Maps, but has also happened with Google Maps). The last time it was right near the end of a route (and of course, I didn't know where the destination was located at, so I nearly missed it…). The OS, just simply isn't reliable by any stretch at this time.
Storage and Logging – I have a 16GB iPhone 5. I know exactly what it will hold and what it won't. I know which apps I can plug and chug off the device when something interesting is released, how much music I can have on the device, etc. With iOS 8, I'm at a total loss. The device is CLEARLY in debug mode by default at this point, as it seems to be going through a large amount of event logging.Storage on the device gets eaten up very, very quickly. I've had Beta 2 installed for less than a week, and I've already had to blow it and restore it twice because I've strangely run out of storage space. When this happens, the battery life tanks, the device gets VERY warm and the device becomes very unreliable.
To say that I am disappointed with the overall stability and performance of iOS 8 Beta 2 is an understatement. I was really looking forward to it after working with Beta 1 for about 15 days. Historically, the reliability of Apple software goes up as the asset moves through its development lifecycle. Unfortunately, that's NOT the case here with iOS 8. Beta 2 clearly feels less finished than Beta 1.
At this point, I have no idea what to expect from Beta 3 and beyond. However, I would HOPE that Apple is aware of the issues with Beta 2 and will push to get a replacement for it – i.e. Beta 3 – out sooner rather than later. While I will be filing these issues as bugs, I would hope that they all end up being duplicates of bugs found by other developers (meaning, they are already aware of the issues…).
I wish I could comment of some of iOS 8's newer features at this point. However, I'm loath to do so, not because of any NDA that comes with my developer's account (Apple changed their NDA so I can speak freely about any and all items in either Yosemite or iOS 8. I cannot, however, post screen shots…yet); but because I'm having trouble with regression issues and with legacy functionality, let alone the new and shiny stuff.
Suffice it to say that there are issues throughout the ENTIRE system at this point. Apple has a long row to hoe with iOS 8; and if they wish to make a July/ August iPhone announcement and a September/ October release, then they better get their butts in gear and start pumping out the testable code. With what I'm seeing, it could be quite a long time before iOS 8 is ready for GM or RTM status. With iPhone 6 highly anticipated to ship with iOS 8 AND with new screen sized and form factors, this is gearing up to be one of – if not the MOST – highly anticipated iPhone releases yet. It could likely surpass that of the original iPhone or the iPhone 3G as well.
What questions do you have about iOS 8? Is there anything in particular that you're curious about? I'd love to have your input and questions on the new iDevice mobile OS. Do you find it compelling? Are you an existing or potentially new iDevice user? Are you someone who left the iPhone behind and went with either an Android device or Windows Phone when iOS 7 was released? Does the look and feel of iOS 8 interest you? Are you interested in switching back to iPhone with iPhone 6 when it's released later this year? Why don't you meet with me in the discussion area below, and ask a question or two? If possible, I will answer your question(s) and/ or address them in a separate column as soon as possible.

Get a handle of what apps are on your company's computers with this important Windows app.
Networking is the heart of computing today. Most everyone that has a computer has internet access and most everyone with internet access in their home has a home network of some type. Everyone with a home network has computers on it, most likely, a number of computers, depending on the number of people living in the home and what they are doing with those computers. Keeping your PC safe from dodgy programs that are potentially malware ridden is important, and its why I like apps like WinAudit. It's a security app for Windows networks.
WinAudit identifies the hardware and software installed on Windows based computers. The app identifies every aspect of your computer is examined. After the app examines the computers on your network, it generates an inventory report. The report is displayed as a web page, which can be saved or printed in a number of standard formats.
You can e-mail the inventory report to your technical support staff or even post the report to a database for archiving. When used in conjunction with its command line functionality, you can automate inventory administration at the network level. WinAudit supports the remote desktop and pre-installation environments.
This app is great at what it does, but its not for everyone. Most home networks aren't going to be as restricted and monitored as a corporate network is. This app would be perfect for small businesses looking to get a handle on what is connected to the network that all of their proprietary data is accessed and stored. The price is certainly right; and if you do decide to use it at home, it will certainly do a good job for you, though at this stage of consumer computing development and use, while EXTREMELY beneficial, its likely overkill.

Hands on with early iOS 8 Beta Releases
Microsoft Acquires Acompli
iPhone 6 Day is Upon Us! Thoughts from Yesterday
It shows promise; but it's REALLY buggy…
I've been using iOS 8 Beta 1 for the past couple of weeks and I have to say that I like what I see, but it's so buggy that it's hard to really evaluate. Items that you thought would be solid – core apps like Mail and Music, for example – are just north of a train wreck. While this is to be expected in a beta release – especially in an early beta release – it does provide a bit of insight on what Apple is doing.
Based on every issue that I've bumped into so far, it's clear to me that Apple is refining and optimizing code. iOS 7 introduced a lot of new interface options and changes to iOS; and it was the first real rearchitecting of Apple's mobile OS since it was introduced in 2007. By that point, the OS was tired, long in the tooth and in need of a facelift, despite what everyone – me included – said about the redesign. Yes. It was difficult to get used to, but now that I'm used to it, it feels better than the old, skewmorphic look and feel of iOS 6 and earlier.
With iOS 8, Apple is following its old mantra – evolution, not revolution (again, they caused a revolution last time with iOS 7). Most of the changes will be under the hood, and users won't see them. I can see evidence of this in the fact that apps that are core to what the iPhone does – like Mail, Music…Settings (yes, even Settings) – often force quit or hard reset the device.
I've encountered the following bugs in these programs throughout Beta 1. While this isn't a complete or exhaustive list, these are the ones that keep me up at night…:
Mail won't let you multi-delete more than three emails at a time. The app force quits.
Music won't track back one song after it has moved to the next song in a playlist (so you can't play the last song over again. Once is all you get.)
Songs often recycle quickly in large playlists when Shuffle is selected as the play method
Badge icon counts often do not reflect the correct number of alerts
The phone app ends the call if you try to take a screen shot of an active call
Settings often force quits when trying to work with Bluetooth settings (there are also multiple problems with the Bluetooth stack when it comes to pairing, playing Bluetooth audio and transferring data via BT-LE)
Because there are bugs in these core apps, it's clear to me that Apple is optimizing core services as well as code in these core apps (to work with the optimized, core services), too. It's the only explanation that makes sense. There are also a number of third party apps that just refuse to run or run correctly in iOS 8 Beta 1; but that's also to be expected.
While preparing this article, Apple released iOS 8 Beta 2. I've downloaded the new OS, but haven't had a chance to install it yet. While I'm certain that Apple is working on insuring that users can upgrade with settings and apps in place, it's clear based on what I found in Beta 1 (I upgraded with apps and settings in place), that it might be a better idea to set up early beta releases of iOS 8 as a new iPhone rather than restoring the device from a backup. Bringing older settings and plist files into the device configuration may be the cause for some of the issues I am experiencing at this time. It's likely a better idea for me to set it up as a new device between now and the release of Beta 4 (provided Apple drops a Beta 4 version before seeding the Gold Master to its developer partners).
The release documents for Beta 2 indicate that it provides some bug fixes as well as providing other small changes and enhancements, including the QuickType keyboard for iPad. This new release also has a major update to Apple's Podcasts app. It's now part of the base OS installation; and like iBooks, also can't be removed. Apple also added a couple nice changes to Safari for iOS that prevents ads from automatically redirecting users to the App Store without any interaction; and users can now quickly add a site to Shared Links, or save a bookmark by tapping and holding on the Bookmarks button in the browser.
Other bug fixes of note include fixes to the screen brightness slider. It actually works now; and adding third party keyboards won't force quit Settings like it did in Beta 1. As far as my Bluetooth issues… I'm going to have to wait and see how things go. There wasn't a lot of information in the Beta 2 release notes related to anything specific that I was bumping into related to Bluetooth. However, Apple is still listing a number of known issues with core Bluetooth services, so I'm not holding my breath. Apple will likely tweak and make changes to the Bluetooth stack throughout the Beta Period. As Pebble and other fitness devices – including Apple's (still) rumored iWatch – (will) make active use of BT-LE, I would expect fixes, improvements and changes to this key piece of core code throughout the development cycle.
iOS 8 Beta 2 also comes with a number of bug fixes. For example, the new beta release ensures that the screen brightness slider in Settings now actually works, and also prevents crashes when adding a third-party keyboard. I have no idea if Apple did anything to address the poor battery life performance that's been reported with Beta 1.
However, I would expect Apple to address this – at least in part – in the next Beta release. Apple usually has a two week development cycle with its mobile OS Betas (it was 15 days between the releases of Beta 1 and Beta 2), so I would expect another release before the Independence Day Holiday here in the States on July 4th (but that's based on past performance, so don't shoot the messenger, if it doesn't happen).
I'll have other reports on iOS and Yosemite as Apple takes us through their Beta and development cycles prior to release of both. Look for updated information on these in the weeks to come. I'll also have a more formal review of each after the GM version of both is released.
Do you have any questions about iOS 8 (or Yosemite)? Let me know in the discussion section, below and I'll do my best to answer your questions either in-line or in a separate article.

OS X 10.10 Yosemite – Continuity is Cool
…but it's not for everyone. There are one or two key points that Apple didn't mention.
The Apple WWDC Keynote provided a great look at Apple's two very important, upcoming operating system releases – OS X 10.10 Yosemite on the desktop and iOS 8 on their mobile devices. There are a number of new features that are pretty cool on each, but one feature on the desktop stood out, at least to me, and I wanted to take a few moments to touch base on it.
Continuity.
If you've got a (recent/ compatible) Mac and a (recent/ compatible) iDevice, then Apple is going to give you a cool way of working where you want, when you want on any and all of their devices, regardless of platform. However, there are a couple of gotchas that Apple really didn't expound upon during the Keynote.
First and foremost, this is a Mac OS only feature. If you use Windows, even Windows via Boot Camp, you won't get any kind of Continuity support at all. Continuity is a Yosemite feature, and support for it comes from the Mac OS, and not from the iDevice you're using. There are also some Mac specific (as well as iDevice specific), hardware requirements that you'll need to make certain you've got covered before the feature will work.
Continuity requires BT-LE or Bluetooth Low Energy in order to work, which is part of the Bluetooth 4 specification. Not every Bluetooth equipped Mac that can run Yosemite or iDevice running iOS 8 will have this hardware built in; and then not every Bluetooth 4.0 equipped Mac supports BT-LE. Generally speaking if you have a 2011 or later Mac, and an iPhone 5 or later, you have a chance of getting Continuity to work. Specifically, Apple is supporting Continuity on the following Macs:
· MacBook Air (mid-2011 and above)
· MacBook Pro (mid-2012 and above)
· Retina MacBook Pro (mid-2012 and above)
· iMac (late 2012 and above)
· Mac mini (mid-2011 and above)
· Mac Pro (2013 and above)
Conversely, as I mentioned, the iDevice you want to use Continuity with will also need to support BT-LE. You'll find BT-LE compatible iDevice hardware in the iPhone 5 and later devices. You have to have both sides of the hardware equation in order to make the feature work.
Some sites are reporting that you MIGHT be able to get Continuity to work on other Macs running Yosemite if you use a Mac compatible Bluetooth 4.0 dongle that also supports BT-LE; but this is unproven and untested as of this writing. If you're running Yosemite Beta on an older Mac, you can try it throughout the beta period, but don't be surprised or disappointed if it doesn't work. Currently, it's recommended to wait until a few months after Yosemite is released. At that point, there may be a hack available if Yosemite doesn't support Continuity via a dongle out of the box.
Continuity is one of the better features of the new Mac OS. It allows you to work with whatever (supported) app you want on whatever document you want, on any (supported) device. Theoretically, you can start on one device, close it down, and pick up exactly where you left off on any other supported device. The whole sync piece is handled via iCloud. All you had to do was save the changes before you shut the first device down. It's really that easy.
There's a GREAT deal here to like about Yosemite – and Continuity in particular. Unfortunately, most legacy Macs won't be able to take advantage of these, or other hardware specific features within the as yet to be released, new OS from Apple. You're going to need to have all the right components in order to make it all work together, but it's nice that anyone with the right equipment or anyone buying new equipment in the ecosystem will be able to take advantage of it all.
Are you a Mac user? Will you be able to make Continuity work on your legacy Mac? If you're not a Mac user, is something like Continuity enough to push you over the edge and make you buy into the Apple ecosystem if you're Mac curious; or is something like Continuity just fluff and frosting and not something that most people are likely to use in the real world? Is the Mac ecosystem just too expensive to buy into regardless of how appealing it might be? Do you think that Apple will actually be able to make Continuity work as designed and as intended with any kind of consistency, or are features like Continuity just pedantic marketing, techno-babble that will turn into vaporware?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on all of this. Why don't you join me in the discussion in the Comments section and tell me what you think of all of this.

Play your multimedia files where and when you want to with MPCStar
Play your multimedia files where and when you want to with this cool Windows app.
Multimedia is a big deal. Apple's iTunes is a multibillion dollar business. Apple concurred the world because of the iPod and iTunes, so, having the right kind of multimedia player for your computing preferences and experience is important. This is one of the reasons why I like apps like MPCStar. It's a freeware multimedia app for Windows.
MPCSTAR is an all-in-one multimedia app. It consists of a video player, an audio player and a number of different audio and video codecs, that coupled with its conversion utility will allow you to put your video where you want to play it, in the format that is best suited for it. You can also download content from the internet and play it with MPCStar. The app is user friendly and can play a number of different type of multimedia formats. MPCStar is also free and doesn't contain any kind of spyware or adware.
MPCStar reminds me of the multimedia players that I used back in the in the Windows 95 and Windows 98 era, though the app works with Windows 2000 to Windows 7. The big things that you won't see here are mobile device support of ANY kind and the complete and total lack of any kind of a content store. While MPCStar is good at playing your multimedia files, I wouldn't expect too much out of it in terms of library management. The app really reminds me of WinAmp and other type players with basic album support for cover art and other file tags.
MPCStar also hasn't been updated in well over three years, so don't expect any kind of additional support for the app, either. It is the way it is. Its good at what it does; and the interface is really great, but what it does seems stuck in 1998…

it's time for a SCHOOL IN KASHECHEWAN
Sep / 10 / 2018
< Back to Issues
As children across Canada begin a new school year, 400 kids in Kashechewan First Nation are without a "safe and comfy school".
The community has initiated a national campaign to fight for these children.
As the Member of Parliament for this region, Charlie Angus is asking for your commitment to this fight. It will be a long battle and we need all of civil society on board.
A school is not a piece of infrastructure, it is a HOPE project. No parent in this country would accept sending their kids to a school under these unsanitary and hazardous conditions.
The federal government said they would get rid of these portables within 5 years and build a proper school - it's been 10 years! Now internal government documents show that the plan is for the people of Kashechewan to use these broken down, unsafe portables for another 40 years.
On September 10, 2018, Charlie Angus sent a letter to the Minister of Indigenous Services, Jane Philpott, asking her to take immediate action on this crisis. Click here to read the full letter.
You can support the children of Kashechewan by writing to your Member of Parliament, Minister Philpott and the Prime Minister. You can also raise awareness by sharing this campaign with your friends, family and community.
CAMPAIGN UPDATE:
The children of Kashechewan are coming to Ottawa. September 17 @ 12 PM on Parliament Hill.
When Parliament resumes, the children of Kashechewan will be there to demand what other Canadian kids take for granted - the right to go to a safe and comfy school.
Will you be there to show your support? Stay tuned for more details.
Start of school year on hold in Kashechewan

Rated 4 out of 5 by lsp25 from Pens are gone in a blink of an eye Funny thing is I set the pack of pens down for 1 day and the pack seem to have gotten small instantly..lol. So the color I was left with was red and black. I originally got the pens for my god daughter but adults also like colorful pens as my adult sisters swiped the pens before my godchild could take her pick. I love the colorful pens and they do write super nice. My godchild loves to write in her diary and wanted the color pens, she was happy with purple and said she would like all the colors next time.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Strideswife16 from My kids love these!!! My children absolutely love these, the colors are very pretty, the ink doesn't stop drawing like most pens that you have to get warm and keep scribbling just to get it to work. These Don't do that they keep working and love how the gel pens make beautiful pictures and the colors really pop when writing! Comfortable to grasp and a trusted brand. These pens are very reasonable in price. I have already recommended with school getting ready to start and I've already purchased more! These are a must have!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Saralynn from New favorite pens! I received this product for free and all opinions are my own. I love gel pens, like almost an addiction, because of the smooth glide when I write, but finding colorful gel pens other than black, blue or red, has been difficult where I live. I finally have found a brand that has beautiful lines and available where I live! My 5 year old even loves them! Beautiful, vibrant colors and easy to clean off the table when the kids don't stay on the paper.
Rated 5 out of 5 by jo_nem13 from Gel pens are life! Since I was in school I loved gel pens, I used them to write the notes down from the board. Even simple yet so cool back then, fast forward to today, I am even more in love with gel pens! These pens are lovely, super easy to use, they have a nice grip, I love how my handwriting looks! The colors are super bright and wonderful, and what I also like the most is that they are retractable and WASHABLE, so that means that they are mess free.
Rated 5 out of 5 by geminigem06 from My new FAVORITE gel pens! Whoowie, I love these pens! I have somewhat of a pen fetish and have just about every brand and color of gel pen out there...and these, hands down, are my new favorite! The ink flows out smoothly...you don't have to worry about getting ink on your hands and smearing your writing/drawing because the ink dries really fast! The colors are AMAZING! If you haven't tried them, yet, you are missing out! Go get yourself some! You're welcome!
Rated 4 out of 5 by MissPyggy from Smooth Writing! The Take Note Gel Pens write smoothly and have a comfy grip! The colors of 5 pens are bright as expected. The pinkish pen writes more like a dull lavender...almost like it's low on ink, but I can see ink in the tube. The ink (all pens) is not quick drying, but not bad. Ink also washes well off skin. I have not had a chance to try to wash from clothing. Overall, really nice pens.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Marlena from Love the colors I love all the vibrant colors. It makes writing note and things fun. The one thing i didn't like was the it took a few seconds to dry. I did test it out and touch it and it smeared a little so its not a quick dry. The pen itself had a good comfort grip and i really like the clicker style.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Birdchick00 from Very smooth These are some cool pens. They look and feel like regular pens, and write VERY smoothly. The colors are bold. The grip could be better though. There is no cap, which I love about these. They are click pens. The colors aren't cool or metallic though, like the gel pens of my childhood.

GALDINO THE SHY AND THE INCORRUPTIBLE JURY
Extract from "I Magnagatti" written by Vincenzo Scapin
Galdino is insatiable. Its customers have just finished eating and he is already in front of their table to ask if the food and drinks were to their liking. He look on the plates with narrow-eye for a final confirmation. If there are no conspicuous traces of food left, everything went off smoothly, its cuisine has not betrayed. Galdino is the son of art, his mother Isetta taught him the first rudiments in the culinary arts. He never attended school, neither had the opportunity to be examined by professors that evaluated, biasimassero or give thanks to his work. So he has chosen the most numerous, diverse body of judges above all suspicion, a jury that could not be bribed, the honest viri that continuously alternated in this court: its own customers. For years, Galdino with his waddling gait, of who is accustomed to long labors, approaches the table of his diners to be examined. The rite of judgment is now part of the traditions of the house, and the judging is always presented with the serene face at the ceremony that, as repeated, never loses sincerity. The Gianesin family work for fifty years (to date are 63) in Pederiva, Grancona. His father, after the adventure in Africa as a sergeant in the infirmary and attendant of a general, had returned home and was employed in the town hall with 500 Lire of monthly pay. While he was still in the black continent had received the news of the birth of his eldest son. Full of joy had told the general that honored him of his familiarity. "Call him Galdino," the scholar had suggested above. The fighter had been answered "yes sir" and so he found himself christened with a name that come from Manzoni. The father was not satified of the municipal employment and had founded a cooperative shop, where they sold sugar, coffee, salt cod, herring, it was pouring wine and you could play cards. Later, the restless trustee will also buy a tavern license which will support a real grocery store without having the permission ...
...He opened his new business in the first slice of home that he was able to build, and where it's now located a part of the restaurant "Isetta." In the village of Val Liona at the time reigns poverty and hunger. Men to bring home some money were digging peat which will be sold in Brescia and Milan. They also begins to build brick houses, Count Costozza in pity for so much poverty, lends horses and carts to transport sand, lime and stones. Galdino is already a boy and becomes a good carter. He likes this job immensely, horses become his passion. In '54 driven by the need to increase revenue to be of help to the family abandons the horses and start a new experience as a truck driver. Transporting firewood, sand, and iron between Bolzano, Rome and Naples. The trips are exhausting, last an average of fifteen days. When he returns home give the paycheck to the mother who has to pay off the debts. The father of the truck driver in addition to nearly licenses held, become a butcher. The commitment is too much trouble for the poor Isetta, and Galdino leaves the truck and becomes a butcher itself. It is difficult to sell the meat, in the country they arrange with the chickens and the pig - The young butcher prepares the packages inside with the need for soup or stew and he place in front of the church waitin women who go out from the mess. But still he did few business, they sell the quarters ahead, the rich thighs take the street for the city. In the 60's a lucky wind invests Gianesin home. The municipality decided to build the street Brendola-Orgiano, workers eat and sleep in the inn "Isetta." Galdino, all noons with the wagon brings the meal in the yard. These gains smooth out the debts, the family begins to breathe. Meanwhile, the economic boom begins to show, people attending the inns and country inns where they serve bigoli, lasagna, stewed chicken, guinea fowl baked skewers of birds. On the occasion of village festivals the business are very good. Always in the '60, the feast day of the liberation Galdino married Guerrina that will go straight to the kitchen to help his mother-in-law...
GO BACK TO THE RESTAURANT
...In '76 Isetta dies between the desperation of the whole family. Galdino alone can not hold all the commitments, close the butcher sells and takes care of the restaurant, which keeps the name of the mother '. He walks proud through the tables showing immense T-bone, fruit of his profound experience as butcher. But Galdino feels a half cook, he masters the meat, but feels that his gastronomic culture is lacking. His colleagues of the Bericis organize evenings with sophisticated menus, and he hasn't the audacity to put his head out the door. He fears to be accused of going to copy. Meanwhile, customers begin to grow, until in 1980 the unknown, the shy Galdino was discovered by the Michelin guide. This recognition makes him disappear all the inferiority complex: always more proud of the semplicity of his food, takes full advantage of his vast experience as a butcher, his passage through the tables with oval plate on which sits a cost worthy of a cow- boy is a triumphal march. Veronelli discover Lazzarini wines, who opened his winery next door to "Isetta." Go to eat in the restaurant, he remains enthusiastic, so much to write about it in Panorama. Now Galdino collaborate with her daughters, their husbands, but it is him to go out in the dining room staggered slightly like a penguin to see if there are suspect leftovers in the dishes. He, self-taught chef not only has the credentials in the kitchen, and has also created an immense cellar digging in the heart of a mountain looming over his house, rich in the many thousands of rare bottles. Sometimes likes to conduct its clients at this winery unreal atmosphere, where Palladio could dig the stones for some of his palace. Not to repay their judgments, but because they dream with him, the self-taught chef now kissed by success, passionate carter, and truck driver in his youth, butcher, who hesitated his goods in front of the church of Zovencedo and he deserved a place in the Michelin guide, without begging for favors from anyone. And never trescare with culinary trends.

6 Reasons Why Your Workout Feels Freakin' Miserable
You might be finishing your sessions the wrong way.
By Jessica Migala
Every day you bound into the gym and tackle your workout with zest. You love this! Oh no? Yeah, we feel the same way.
Maybe you feel like a spandex-clad slug once in a while—or it's becoming more and more common.
Don't just drag yourself to the gym and hope something has changed, though. Here's how to ID the problem—and make the tweaks that will leave you feeling energetic (and pumped to sweat) again.
Do you end spin by hopping off the bike and heading to the locker room? Stop your lifting session and turn in for a post-workout protein smoothie? You're missing a step. "You need to leave your body in a neutral position at the end of your workout," says celebrity fitness expert and certified personal trainer Andrea Metcalf, author of Naked Fitness. What that means is that you stretch or use opposing muscles. For example, if you ran, walk backwards on the treadmill for five minutes. After spin, stand up and stretch on the bike.

Even if you love being super active, you still need to build in at least one rest day per week. Without it, you may see a plateau in fitness gains. "Our bodies are reacting the the amount of stress put on them. Constant stress doesn't allow for growth, you need time to recover," says Metcalf. If you're feeling fatigued throughout the workout, your body is begging for downtime. Take the day off. Walk (for fun!), stretch, or focus on foam rolling. (Tone up, beat stress, and feel great with Rodale's new With Yoga DVD!)
Maybe you do hot yoga because your neighbor swears it helped her lose weight. Or CrossFit because…well…Crossfit. But unless the workout is matched to your likes and abilities, you'll likely slog through. "Don't just spin the hamster wheel with a program that's not allowing you to make physical and emotional progress," says Noah Neiman, certified personal trainer and co-founder of Rumble Boxing in New York City. "The program is either too hard so your form is deficient and you can't put in the required effort, or it's too easy and not challenging enough to stimulate growth," he adds. If every workout feels like a dud to you, try something new or go back to an activity you loved before.

There are the people who love to work out—and then there are the rest of us. To get into the former camp, you have to know your workout is worth it. "For most people who dread exercise, they're not seeing the results they're after," says Ashley Strickland, master trainer at Life Time Fitness. Once you're able to bang out a few pushups when you could barely do one before or hit all the sprints in your HIIT workout, you'll likely change your tune. "As soon as they see a transformation happen, it's amazing how much they suddenly love to workout," she says. If you've been at a standstill, hire a personal trainer for a session or two. They can give you the tools and guidance you need to effectively work out on your own.

The nighttime snooze is when your bod is repairing and healing. If you're shortchanging your Z's, you're going to feel like you're running through Jello on your four-miler. If you were out late one night, go ahead and get up early to catch that class. But if you're skimping on sleep for the second or third time during a seven-day stretch, "call it a recovery day and move on without guilt," says Metcalf.

Everyone's doing HIIT right now, and yes, it's supposed to be difficult but if you can't make it through without feeling like absolute death, you may be doing it wrong, explains Neiman. "When people start HIIT, they often don't realize what it means. It doesn't mean push as hard as you can for as long as you can," he says. Rather, it means you do hard intervals followed by adequate rest so you can be ready for the next interval. Without enough rest, you can't exert max effort on subsequent intervals, and therefore don't get all the benefits. For example, if you're doing 20-second Tabata-style intervals, make sure you're getting 10 seconds of rest in between.
