On more diligent inquiry, the claim may be excessive. For should one’s arquebus, wheellock, snaphaunce, or other muzzle-loaded weapon happen to fit any standard-bore ammunition, modern mass-production will probably defeat your economics. It is the same with almost everything, these days. The commercial machinery has probably shot out a hundred thousand of whatever is wanted in the time it takes you to make six. If your time is worth anything, you may ignobly reason, it would be cheaper to drive to some wretched big-box store and have done with it. This will be especially the case if your weapon is itself of recent manufacture.
And then there are the safety obsessives who warn that the loading of your pre-Napoleonic, sentimental favourite, requires skills you may lack. Even if the balls are cast fairly symmetrically, you must get them to lie comfortably on the powder. Air spaces are the devil. Get it wrong, the musket blows up in your face, and where’s the fun in that?
On the other hand, reviewing my gift stocks from the previous Christmas, I discovered an unopened jar of maraschinos, in a liqueur distilled from proper Marasca cherries (in Italy where they know how to do these things). Too, there were bars of baker’s chocolate I had never got round to using, nor could remember having purchased.
My better angel thus insisted I make chocolates instead.
This, gentle reader may know, is very easy if one has chocolate moulds. I have two, of ancient provenance, obtained in a flea market somewhere on impulse (they are delightful works of art in themselves), but these designed only for casting more bars (although with inspiring, Catholic decorations). I decided to leave them hanging on the gable of a bookcase.
My father taught me to be resourceful. I looked about for some substitute, found I did not own even an ice-cube trough, and eventually gave up.
By now I was determined to make chocolates, so melted my dark chocolate in my makeshift double-boiler, sweetening with buckwheat honey. Spreading parchment on a ceramic oven tray, I dropped generous dollops in an unsatisfying pattern, excavating cavities in each with my fingers and straightening the sides while the chocolate remained fairly soft. One cherry with liqueur was then spooned into each recess, and more molten chocolate spilt over the tops. Quick, solidifying refrigeration could be obtained by placing the large tray on my balconata bench (even mild Canadian winters are useful for this), and Bob was finally declared to be my uncle.
The result was quite appalling to the inspection of my eye; and in places where the liqueur had seeped out, there was an unpleasant sticky glistening. Some carving with a paring knife was necessary to make them at all presentable.
Worse, my good intention to distribute them among worthy souls during the Twelve Days of Christmas has been somewhat undermined by the failure of my own Advent resolution; for I have caught myself eating them on several occasions. But this does put me in the happy position of being able to claim they are very much more delicious than the kind one gets from the production-line capitalists.
And therefore, in the balance, as a moralist I declare that we should all revert to making our own chocolates — recipes for alternative fillings abound — and put an end to this shameful practice of obtaining inferior quality, “store-boughten” goods — that both of my grandmothers condemned.

Canadian whisky doesn’t get a lot of love from the craft cocktail community. So when I was given an opportunity to sample Crown Royal Black, I wanted to approach it with an open mind. Unfortunately, it didn’t do much to improve my opinion of the category.
The first thing I noticed is it’s surprisingly dark in color.1 Compared to the other whiskeys in my bar, its color does have more black notes, as opposed to the deep reds I associate with aged liquors. I’m not quite sure how they achieved this color, except to note that Canadian whisky makers are allowed to add caramel and flavorings.
Smelling it, the strongest scents were a caramel sweetness, some wood, and vanilla. Taking a taste, the first thing I noticed was a strong pepper flavor, which lasted quite a long time. There was also a woody flavor. I detected a hint of charcoal, which surprised me – I think of charcoal as a filtering agent, not a flavoring one. They do highlight that it’s aged in charred oak barrels, but I don’t get this sort of burnt flavor from bourbon.
While the taste is reasonably well balanced between sweet and pepper at the front, that tapers off to an unpleasant astringency. Adding water through a single ice cube didn’t help much. It brought the sweetness out even more strongly, but not in a way that balanced the unpleasant flavors. I can’t imagine wanting to sip this straight.
Hoping to enjoy it mixed, I first tried it in a Manhattan. It failed miserably. The charcoal notes I tasted before were highlighted, as well as the astringency.
I searched high and low for a Canadian whisky cocktail to try. I’ve not yet hit on a recipe for the Scofflaw I really enjoy.2 Searching the CocktailDB, I found the Quebec cocktail, which seemed worth a try. I thought the unique combination of additional flavors might balance the whisky out.
I made it two sips into this cocktail before I gave up on it. Once again, the odd flavor of the Crown Royal Black made a mess of the party. It amplified the funky maraschino flavor in a most unpleasant way.
I can say one positive thing about Crown Royal Black. It is better than Crown Royal. But I say that with bitterness, because I actually purchased a 375 ml bottle of Crown Royal to taste side-by-side.3 Regular Crown Royal tastes predominantly of sugar and astringency to me.
I know there are some very nice Canadian whiskies out there. I look forward to trying them. Sadly, Crown Royal Black is not among them.
 Why not a mini? I have no answer for that question.

If the seller transforms her mind after accepting an offer, especially if the regards to the listing contract have actually been fulfilled, she typically still owes the broker a payment.

If the seller approves your deal in a created record, your deal ends up being a binding contract, so beware. In an offer, you state just how much you're providing as a purchase rate, what contingencies you get, and just how much time you need to do things like locating funding as well as obtaining assessments.

IF YOU AIN'T PUSHIN, YOU AIN'T LIVIN, RIGHT?
“You’re not just racing, you’re surviving. The moment you let your guard down, you die."
It’s one lesson you don’t want to learn the hard way, Jason Murray asserts, recounting La Ruba Rosa, a 5,000-foot cliff teams of off-road racers cascade during the notorious Baja 1000. The Murray Racing team regularly toes the line with death, like a cat taunting a mouse, sometimes narrowly escaping only by mere centimeters. “If you ain’t pushin, you ain’t livin, right?” Jason exclaims.
Jason and Derek, the Murray brothers, describe their entry into off-road racing as accidental and quick.
They took a trip out to Lake Havasu, on the border of California and Arizona, to a friend’s vacation home, testing out his UTV while there. It was love at first drive. That same week Jason sought out, bought and immediately began “souping” up his used Rhino off-road vehicle.
The brothers arrived at their first off-road race with their rebuilt UTV, a red gas can, painter’s masks and dirt bike helmets, a far cry from the seasoned competitor’s reinforced carbon helmet with built-in oxygen supply and communication systems. They cracked jokes and made pit stops for the restroom, rather than the UTV. It was their lighthearted, fun-loving approach to the sport that transformed their passion into an adrenaline-inducing career.

Last Wednesday, Bern received nearly CHF 320 million from Paris. This money relates to taxes paid by French residents working in Switzerland. Every year, France deducts taxes from cross-border workers and forwards an agreed amount to Switzerland.
The payment was late and should have been made by 30 June 2015. When Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf met with the French finance minister Michel Sapin at the IMF meeting in Lima in early October she reminded him of the late payment. 2013’s payment was even later. It was received on Christmas eve.
Now Bern will make payments to the cantons. Vaud will receive CHF 102 million, Basel-City CHF 77 million, Neuchâtel CHF 55 million, Basel-Lande CHF 47 million and Jura CHF 24 million. Bern, Valais and Solothurn will get CHF 7, CHF 5 and CHF 4 million respectively. There is no payment to Geneva because there, the canton of Geneva deducts the tax directly.
With Swiss franc returns in negative territory (7-year Swiss government bonds had a negative yield of -0.38 percent in September 2015), late receipt doesn’t come with much of a financial cost.

Cities are increasingly crucial players in the quest for human health and global sustainability. The long-popularized notion "Think Globally, Act Locally" has matured from inspirational mantra to core operating principal for many planners, designers, policy makers in cities across the globe who understand that human survival is predicated on cooperation and collaboration. How does this cooperation and collaboration occur? In part, global discourses on planning, design, and sustainable development are influential in expanding knowledge and integrating efforts at the local level.
Recently, First Stop Portland hosted a conversation among Jay Coalson, CEO Green Building Services, First Stop Portland Student Ambassadors, and PSU's Masters of Urban and Regional Planning students to discuss the opportunities and challenges of presenting local places to international audiences. In addition, they explored the potential role(s) for planners and programs like First Stop Portland in this global knowledge exchange.
We must tell "The Portland Story" so observers better understand Portland's efforts in a broad context: historical, political, social, and economic. It's important that, as a region, we not be overly self-congratulatory, but rather share what has worked well for us (placemaking, scale, transportation options) and seek advice for dealing with our challenges (economic development).
A meaningful dialogue is an open conversation between diverse groups of interested people. Getting a range of people to the table to share "best practices" and "road test" new ideas is essential.
International development is always local: all development is essentially local, so understanding local context is always necessary. Sharing stories about local efforts that may not be directly transferable across contexts (for instance, what can Shanghai learn from Portland?) is may seem futile, but can go a long way in expanding how local leaders undertake "business as usual" in their respective places.
Special thanks to Alison Wicks (MURP student) and Derek Abe and Johannes Weber (First Stop Student Ambassadors) for sharing their ideas and helping organize this discussion.

I am a South-African-born researcher and boundary-spanner, based in a small town outside Stockholm, Sweden. I conduct research into how code-based technologies (e.g. code itself, digital platforms, machine learning, digital automation) are changing how we work, how organising occurs, and what these things mean for us as individuals and as members of increasingly unequal societies.
Thus far, my focus has been on the world of finance. In the aftermath of the financial crisis, distributed groups of individuals have taken it upon themselves to re-configure certain parts of finance, for instance by promoting peer-to-peer tools like crowdfunding and cryptocurrencies. These attempts at structural re-configuration have relied heavily on code-based tools, and this development of code has led to the emergence of new human relationships, interactions, and ultimately the emergence of new infrastructures.
Some initial attempts at re-configuration, some more successful than others, are the subject of my 2018 PhD thesis, entitled Crowds, Coins and Communities: Digital Entrepreneuring in Emerging Financial Infrastructures, for which I was awarded the Börje Langefors prize (2018), the Peter Högfeldt Award (2019), and a Wallander post-doctoral scholarship.
In addition to my ongoing research, I regularly hold seminars, work with executives, and cooperate with journalists. I am also an Advisor to startup generator Antler and affiliated with the Stockholm-based think tank Fores (The Forum for Reforms, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability).

The design process included a thorough vetting of all materials and products used – not only for energy efficiency and environmentally friendly production, but also for allergens, emissions during use, etc.
The clients were both busy professionals with a growing family, so all design solutions had to be family friendly. The harmony of the solution comes from making good use of the different materials, and integrating them thoughtfully throughout; from cabinets to windows and millwork, wood flooring, tiled showers and paint color.
The master bath is a tranquil haven with a luxurious shower and freestanding bath tub in a light-flooded corner. The color scheme picks up on the dark brown in the window trim and the green hues in the shower door glass is carried through the home in the other bathrooms’ tiles as well as the kitchen backsplash. The bathrooms also display practical details that make life easier, such as built in step stools for the children in the bathrooms.
This project was about creating a home that uses all eco friendly or environmentally conscious materials, while attending to the owners’ different preferences to create an overall coherent and pleasing aesthetic.

Caramel slice has to be one of the most adored baked treats of all time. We've given it a healthy makeover with a base made from wholesome nuts and seeds and a thick caramel layer naturally sweetened with dates. This decadent salted caramel chocolate slice is free from gluten and refined sugars. Enjoy a small square as a treat and savour it's delicious sweetness and nutrient dense ingredients.
Grease the bottom of a deep square baking pan with a little oil and place a piece of cling film in side the pan, ensuring there is enough cling film over hanging on each side.
Place the nuts into a food processor and process til finely chopped. Add the remaining base ingredients and mix until well combined.
Pour the base mixture into the prepared pan and press down very firmly. Fold the over hanging cling film on top of the base and cover the top with a piece of baking paper. Weigh down the base by placing a pile of small side plates on top of the baking paper and put in the fridge to set while preparing the caramel layer.
For the caramel layer; Place the cashew nuts and 2 cups of water into a saucepan and boil for 15 minutes. Once soft drain off the water through a sieve.
Meanwhile, in a second saucepan, simmer the dates and recently boiled water until all of the water has evaporated and the dates are mushy.
Place the drained cashews and dates into a food processor along with the maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla and salt and process for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Remove the base from the fridge and take off the plates. Pour the caramel over the base and spread evenly. Place back in the fridge to set for 3- 4 hours, or 2 hours in the freezer.
To make the chocolate topping, place a small saucepan of water over a medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Place the dark chocolate bits into a bowl that will fit on top of the saucepan and gently melt the chocolate. Once melted, gently stir in the sunflower oil until glossy.
Remove the slice from the fridge and evenly pour over the melted chocolate. Return the slice to the fridge for about 30- 60 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
Once set, remove from the fridge and cut into small squares using a sharp serrated knife dipped in boiling water (the hot knife will make it easier to cut through the slice).
Keep in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Alternatively, you can freeze for 1- 2 months.

Angelica keiskei Koidzumi, commonly known under the Japanese name of Ashitaba (アシタバ or 明日葉 ashitaba, literally "Tomorrow's Leaf"), is a cold hardy perennial plant from the angelica genus with an average growth height of 50–120 cm. It is endemic to Hachijō-jima, though it is artificially cultivated in Izu Ōshima, Mikura-jima, Nii-jima, To-shima and parts of Honshū as well.
The plants additional cultivar epithet koidzumi refers to botanist Gen'ichi Koizumi, while its Japanese nomenclature stems from the above-average regenerative capabilities it exhibits after injury. Harvesting a leaf at the break of day often results in a new sprout growing overnight, being visible the following morning.
Traditionally it is seen as a major contributor to the supposedly healthier, extended lives of the local residents, possibly due to the chalconoids that are unique to this species of angelica. At one point in Edo period the haulm's yellow sap was effectively used in the external treatment of smallpox, which prompted Kaibara Ekken to describe the herb in his Yamato honzō (大和本草), under the name of ashitagusa (鹹草), as "a powerful tonic drug." In folk medicine it is claimed to be diuretic, tonic, to improve digestion, and, when applied topically, to speed wound healing and prevent infection. Also its nutritive qualities are said to be the factor behind the internal exiles' and their families' never waning stamina in the face of their arduous compulsory labor.
For similar reasons, it very widely serves as pasture for cows, reckoned to improve the quality of milk as well as the yield and to maintain cattle health at the same time. It should be pointed out that most of these claims have yet to be proven in clinical trials, while studies have substantiated the presence of furocoumarins in several of these plants' components. Furanocumarin is an agent known to increase skin sensitivity to sunlight and may cause dermatitis.
Nonetheless, modest conditions for cultivation and fast rate of growth, with optimal temperatures ranging between 12-22 degrees, have led many locals to plant ashitaba in herb gardens, flower pots, and backyards. These days the main use of their stipes, leaves, and taproots is in regional cuisine, where they are prepared as soba, tempura, shōchū, tea, ice cream, pasta etc. The Mikura-jima variety might excel in this regard as it is reputed to be less bitter than others.
Note that ashitaba closely resembles Angelica japonica, but can be distinguished by its blooming period, which lasts from May to October whereas A. japonica's blooming period lasts only between May and July. Another indicator is the characteristic color of its sap. The larvae of the Common Yellow Swallowtail are known to feed frequently on the plant.
A. keiskei has been claimed to exhibit cytotoxic, antidiabetic, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, and antimicrobial properties via in vitro studies, but the efficacy of these qualities have yet to be confirmed in vivo. Among current investigations are its potential as a nerve growth factor, as well as potential usefulness in cancer, menopause, and other conditions. Ashitaba may have positive effects on circulation by preventing red blood cells from clumping.
Although it is often suggested that A. keiskei is a vegetable source of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), recently published, peer reviewed scientific investigations of pharmacology and phytochemical constituents of interest report nothing that substantiates this claim. Traditional methods for measuring vitamin B12 in foods are compromised by contaminants (e.g. soil, bacteria, etc.) that contain detectable concentrations of inactive B12 analogs, which may explain the origin of this belief. More recent studies reveal certain mushrooms and algae as the only naturally occurring sources of B12 outside of the animal kingdom. Of these, only Chlorella has demonstrated the ability to reduce methyl malonic acid (MMA) levels (a product of B12 deficiency) in human subjects.
Soak seeds overnight in cool, non-chlorinated water and then refrigerate the seeds (approximately 40 degrees F) in moist medium for 3 days.
The moist medium could be moist sand, moist potting soil, moist coir or moist peat.
Note that our recommendation is MOIST not SODDEN or VERY WET, and that we are recommending REFRIGERATION not FREEZING.
After this pretreatment, plant the (still moist) seeds.
Sow on surface, barely cover with soil and press in firmly and keep evenly moist until germination.
Use a greenhouse, shadehouse or grow lights.
Germination occurrs 30 to 60 days after sowing.
Seedlings are slow-growing and will require about 60 days to transplant.
Once past the seedling stage, the plant is fast growing.
The plants prefer rich, deep, evermoist, well-drained soil and full sun to part shade.

I absolutely adore Italy and have travelled extensively through the country on several occasions. Its beautiful scenery, history and weather draw me to it again and again but the main reason I keep returning has to be the food.
I regularly try to recreate Italian dishes at home that I’ve sampled on holiday, but they never seem to taste quite as good. I thought that perhaps it was down to the fact that food just tastes that much better when you are dining alfresco underneath the beating sun, but then I discovered Cirio tomatoes.
Cirio have been exporting their range since 1867 after the founder Francesco Cirio presented his products at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, earlier having developed, in 1856, the technique of appertisation meaning fresh fruit and vegetables could have an extended shelf life.
Cirio have a vast range of products, not limited to tomatoes, including peas, beans and lentils. I was given the opportunity to test their tomato range and I made full use of each and every product by making yummy recipes that we could enjoy together as a family.
With their Datterini baby plum tomatoes, I made a spaghetti bolognese. This meal always reminds me of Saturday nights as a child, with the football pools on the radio in the background as we sat down as a family to warming spaghetti bolognese. These rich and fruity tomatoes give the meal a real authentic feel.
Another of my favourite Italian dishes is Chicken Arrabiata. I love the spiciness of the tomato sauce and I haven’t been afraid to share my love for spice with Dexter. I figure that he will have got a taste for it while in utero as I gorged on curries and spicy pastas. In my recipe, I use Cirio‘s finely chopped tomatoes with basil which gives the dish a beautiful tomato-y taste and all that’s left to add is the chilli flakes. The tomatoes had a lovely rich flavour and unlike traditional passata were not watered down making the arrabiata sauce nice and thick.
Pizzas are an absolute staple in this household and I like nothing more than making my own. Before we had Dexter, Neil and I would spend Saturday evenings, kneading and rolling dough but now I prefer to buy a pack of flat breads which is both easier and healthier. Cirio‘s pizza sauce saves me having to make my own and tastes phenomenal. We top the pizzas with whatever we can find in the fridge – chorizo, mozzarella, spinach, mushroom. The list is truly endless. I cut the pizza into slices to offer to Dex and he adores it. The tin contains 400g of pizza sauce which is more than what we needed for our pizzas. What’s great is that the contents last for 3-4 days in the fridge, so when I found myself a little hungry at lunchtime a few days later, I made a small amount of pasta and used the rest of this pizza sauce as a topping along with some cheese. A delicious meal in minutes.
One baby led weaning staple is pinwheels and Cirio‘s double concentrated tomato puree works wonders. Because of it’s double concentration, the flavour isn’t lost at all in the pastry. I like to add cheese, ham and spinach to the mix for a healthy and delicious snack for Dex.
Of course, Cirio‘s tomato range doesn’t limit you to cook just Italian food.
I love a bit of Mexican at the weekend and lovely moist enchiladas need a good tomato sauce like Cirio‘s finely chopped tomatoes with onion and garlic. The great thing about this product is that I don’t need to finely chop any onions or garlic, saving me a lot of time. These tomatoes smell incredible. I have been guilty of buying cheap supermarket passata in the past, but I won’t be doing that anymore.
What full English breakfast would be complete without plum tomatoes? Neither my husband nor myself are fans of baked beans so we always make sure we add plum tomatoes. I made a simple cooked breakfast for Dex including scrambled egg, plum tomatoes, toast and half a sausage. These Cirio Peeled Plum Tomatoes were the perfect addition as I usually worry that Dex could choke on the skin of a tomato. They were plump and juicy and devoured in seconds.
Curry is another favourite in this house and I have been trying to perfect my recipe over the years. I have finally nailed it with Cirio‘s chopped tomatoes. You have to check out the recipe here and try it. It rivals any takeaway curry.
Next time you are grocery shopping and you are looking for a tinned tomato with all the freshness and quality of the tomatoes in the produce aisle, check out Cirio‘s range. There’s something there for every recipe.
Disclaimer: I received a range of Cirio tomato products to sample and review for this blog. I received no payment for my opinion and all views are my own.

I'm new to the Kendo UI stuff, so please forgive me if this is an easy one; I've been trying to find some documentation that might tell me what I'm doing wrong, but nothing so far.
I have a grid with (ATM) nine rows in it. I need to make this grid pageable. I followed this example to do so (http://docs.kendoui.com/getting-started/using-kendo-with/aspnet-mvc/helpers/grid/custom-binding) with the only deviations being that I set my page size to five (since I only have nine rows) and I didn't do the sorting part since I'm not using that right now. I did not do that part beginning with "Custom AJAX Binding" because it didn't seem relevant to the rest of the example.
On my page I have the paging controls showing up on my grid, but it shows there only being one page "bubble" and a message saying "1-5 of 5 items" None of the forward/back arrows are enabled.
I'm kind of stumped here; I've been trying to find some documentation or blog post that shows me where I went wrong, but so far nothing. So, what am I doing wrong here?
Look this sample where .pageable() is used.
Thanks for the post. That worked for me.

12 Jan 2019, 8:32 a.m.
The onus is on local councils to sign up to the federal government’s push to harmonise heavy vehicle road access for agricultural vehicles as South Australia, Victoria, NSW, Queensland, and the ACT sign up.
The reform is aimed at harmonising regulations across local, state and federal jurisdictions under the National Class 1 Agricultural Vehicle and Combination Notice, to cut red tape and reduce costs to farmers.
With the federal and state governments now in agreement, the initiative needs local councils to sign on to bring new regulations into effect.
Heavy vehicle agricultural combinations that would be captured by the scheme include cane trailers, silage trailers, harvesters and tractors.
“This is an important breakthrough for the agricultural industry – delivering an agreement to use a modernised and simplified set of standards for moving agricultural combinations on public roads,” Mr McCormack said.
“Some of the existing laws around the movement of agricultural combinations date back almost 40 years and require updating.
National Heavy Vehicle Regulator chief executive Sal Petroccitto said the his organisation would now work with local road managers to finalise the notice.
“As most agricultural combinations move on local government controlled roads, the Notice will now be put to local councils for their feedback,” Mr Petroccitto said.
The development of the Notice was based on research conducted by AustRoads on current and future agricultural vehicles.
It has taken almost two years to reach agreement between the State road managers and representatives of the agricultural industry, including the National Farmers’ Federation.
Assistant Minister for Roads and Transport, Scott Buchholz said the reform would make it simpler and easier for farmers who often only have to travel short distances on roads to move agricultural equipment as part of their regular work routine.
“It’s another example of the Coalition government’s commitment to regional Australia, particularly those on the land,” Mr Bucholz said.
National Farmers’ Federation president Fiona Simson said welcomed the initiative.
“NFF appreciates the Commonwealth Government's efforts to progress these discussions,” Ms Simson said.

So last week my baby boy wasn't feeling well. Initially I thought he was getting a cold, since my older three weren't feeling 100% either but unfortunately it was not just a cold. He was cranky and crying and he was running a fever of 38.9 for hours. I had given Tylenol but as soon as the Tylenol wore off the fever would be back with a vengeance.
I took him to our doctors office which also has a paediatric walk-in as well. As soon as the paediatrician saw him he told me to take him to the ER ASAP. I was freaking out. Being a mom of four and doing the ER thing with all of them, you would think I would be a pro but alas no. Each time is just as scary and disheartening.
I got home and got my hubby to drop us off as the parking costs at the hospital are outrageous. I was immediately taken right away and by this time his fever had reached 39. He was so tired but not sleeping well obviously. The doctor came in and started a work up right away. Urine and bloodwork and all his vitals. His temp reached 39.4 by the time they gave Tylenol. He was such a trooper get the IV line in. We waited what seemed like forever and then my hubby showed up. He had our friend watch the other 3 so he could come to the hospital with us. The doctor came in to tell us that his urine was clear and they were still waiting on blood. The next doctor we saw was the paediatrician who decided that my little man needed to have a spinal tap done as he was irritable and just not happy. That was honestly the hardest thing I have ever had to watch my kids go through to date. I just wanted to hold him and tell him it would be alright but I had to wait for the test to be over. We were admitted and he was started on a few rounds of IV antibiotics that deal with a few different things since they had no idea what was wrong with him yet.
The next four days at the hospital were horrible. I wasn't sleeping and neither was he. Nurses coming in every 4 hours to check his IV or sooner if the stupid thing started beeping. We had to wait for all the results to come back. The first test to come back was the urine. It was positive for a UTI, which is very common in little boys under 12 months I have come to find out. So another change to the antibiotics and a trip to the ultrasound to make sure everything was okay with his kidneys, which thankfully they were fine.
Next we find out that the spinal tap they did came back positive for enterovirus which turned into viral meningitis for my little man. Thank god it was viral and not bacterial. It turns out that my older three had this virus which causes headache, fever and vomiting which explains every one of my older kids symptoms. Unfortunately for little man, he got it worse than the older three as his immunity isn't quite as good as theirs.
This whole episode with little man has been an experience to say the least. I am thankful for the best the husband a woman could ask for. He stayed at home with my oldest son while he was throwing up and never complained once, he took care of the other two and made sure they got to school and fed them all. He came to the hospital as soon as he could and he even made a trip back one night as his son was not happy and wouldn't sleep for me or any of the nurses. He got him to sleep and then went back home to get some himself. He helped get us through a really rough few days and for that I will always be thankful.
During all of this, I really found out what and who are important in my life. My friend of many years came and stayed with my other 3 kids so my hubby could come and be with me and his son and believe it or not, my ex took the kids as much as he could as he was working, to help us out so that my hubby could be with us.
I am glad the whole ordeal is over and that we are all happy and healthy again and all is well in my world once more. It really does go to show you that when the going gets tough you know who you can count on.

Over the past several years, many have wondered whether the United States remains willing to play its traditional role in maintaining world order. Many fear the return of American isolationism.
A debate on America's role in the world is not really new. Within the United States it has been an ongoing national conversation of varying intensity for decades. And I believe that despite the debate the United States will not retreat from its global interests and responsibilities.
Objectively, America still has what it takes for global leadership.
It still has the world's largest economy in absolute terms and in terms of per capita GDP, and is growing faster than Europe. The energy boom is reviving US manufacturing. The American economy has the world's most innovative and entrepreneurial culture. And this culture of innovation is supported and enabled by the world's best university system.
American diplomacy has sometimes been criticised as either overbearing or inept – and sometimes both at the same time. But it still seems to be the essential engine for getting the international community motivated and organised to address any given global challenge. And that diplomacy is backed by the most proficient, technologically advanced, and expeditionary military in the world.
The issue is really subjective: does America still have the will to lead?
I think so. I believe that, in retrospect, America's recent seeming reluctance to engage internationally will be seen as an historic anomaly and will be followed by a return to a more traditional understanding of America's role in the world.
This return to global leadership will happen because, ultimately, it is in America's interest to do so. You already see this beginning to happen in some key recent decision by President Obama on the terrorist threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
On Iraq and Syria, the Obama administration's new strategy is a work in progress. We are in the early days of the effort. But overall, what you see emerging is a smart, coherent approach meant not only to degrade and defeat ISIS, but also to address the broader challenge of stabilising Iraq and Syria.
The strategy reflects a phased approach. We cannot roll back much less defeat ISIS without ground forces. And the only substantial ground forces available today to fight ISIS are in Iraq – Kurdish Peshmerga, Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), and Sunni tribal forces soon to be organised as Iraqi National Guard units. But before these forces will engage effectively against ISIS, they need at least two things.
First, they need an Iraqi government for which they are willing to fight. So the US administration is trying to create a truly inclusive government with full participation by Sunni, Shia, and Kurds, while giving these groups more autonomy and control over their local affairs.
Second, for the various Iraqi groups to rise up against ISIS, they need confidence that they are going to win. As we have already seen, ISIS is prepared to conduct brutal beheadings and mass killings to punish those that would defy its rule. The Iraqi Sunnis in particular will not fight ISIS without the reassurance of active outside military support. For various reasons, the days of a major US and allied ground forces deploying to Iraq are past. But the United States and its allies can provide intelligence, training, combat air support, logistics, and – most importantly – Special Forces embedded with the various Iraqi forces to provide tactical operational support and call in air strikes.
Once Iraqis come together to rid their land of ISIS, they will have to address their remaining differences and build a stable, secure, and prosperous society able to meet the needs of all Iraq's people. This effort will require the support of the United States and its friends and allies in the region and beyond. And it is in our interest to provide such support. For only in this way can we ensure that Iraq does not become once again the home to terrorist groups threatening the stability of the region and ultimately the homelands of all of our countries.
While conducting operations against ISIS in Iraq, in Syria the Obama administration's focus will be on US and allied air strikes against ISIS forces there. These air strikes are needed to deny ISIS in Syria a safe haven from which to support its operations in Iraq. These air strikes will also buy time and space for arming and training vetted Syrian opposition elements ready to fight not only the Assad regime but also Islamic terrorists like ISIS. After a year or two of success against ISIS in Iraq, and of building a Syrian opposition army, we can expect ground operations against ISIS elements in Syria to pick up significantly. This will begin to set the conditions for a political resolution of the Syrian civil war: an interim government formed of elements of the Syrian government willing to break with the Assad regime and to join with Syrian opposition elements. This interim government can then begin to bring down the violence in Syria, fight more effectively against ISIS and other terrorist groups in Syria, and oversee a political dialogue among all elements of Syrian society to chart a future course for the country.
This may all seem like a long shot. But I do not see any alternative if we are ever to see a stable Middle East that is not an incubator of terror. If we are to succeed, American and Australian leadership will be critical.
But if America is to continue to land in places such as the Middle East, it must do so in a different way. We must see the states now emerging on the global stage, states like China, India, Indonesia, not as competitors but as potential partners in solving the security, economic, environmental, and social challenges we all face. This will require close co-operation. And it will require greater use not only of international institutions but also of the various regional structures –economic, diplomatic, and social – that have emerged over the past few decades.
The role of China will be key in this effort. Neither China nor the United States can solve global challenges by themselves. And both China and the United States need progress in meeting these challenges if they are to achieve their own objectives for the development and economic well-being of their people. A way must be found for the United States and China to work together with the rest of the international community to meet the global challenges we face. Success in this effort will require the closest co-operation among the United States, Australia, and our friends and allies in the Asia-Pacific. And to a great extent, Australia is leading the way.

Does this make you want to douse your Levi jeans in gasoline and burn them ?
American denim giant Levi Strauss & Co. announced Tuesday that it is launching a series of new initiatives to benefit groups working to prevent gun violence.
Bergh acknowledged that the decision to advocate for gun control is a controversial one.
"While taking a stand can be unpopular with some, doing nothing is no longer an option," he wrote.
The CEO of Levi Strauss urged business leaders to back new gun-control measures, saying the jeans maker will provide $1 million to activists and partner with Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety to promote stricter firearm laws.
Levi Strauss created a fund to distribute $1 million in grants over the next four years, and Bergh said the company will work with Everytown for Gun Safety and Bloomberg to form a “coalition of business leaders” who support stricter gun laws.
I am not sure the boycott really does anything anymore.
I can't boycott the NFL, I dont spend money or even time on them. Havent watched a game in years, no branded clothing, nothing.
I dont eat out much. Boycotting chick-fila wouldn't mean anything, never spent money there anyway. Tasty but I have spent 30 bucks there in the last 8 years.
I liked BREXIT. So I figured I would show solidarity by buying beer from old blighty. I probably buy an extra $75 a year from them that I hadn't intended otherwise.
Levis... I dont own jeans! Can't stand denim pants, period. No matter the politics.
I am boycotting Dicks sporting goods. I didnt shop thetr much to begin with but it nil now. Problem is I never really bought gun stuff there, it was the occasional dumb bell or ab wheel of something.
There are so many choices in the world that my choices are my choices. Do we all as a society share enough things to really pressure companies? Short of hosing your customer base like Smith and Wesson did in the 90s, what's the purpose of it?
I also have not always been able to make sense of the idea that you can influence every negative corporate action by your spending habits. No, I support things like anti trust laws, racketeering laws, and banking regulations in many cases. The arguments against such things has not been very compelling.
I'd rather make them an iron clad deal.
Implement all the gun control laws you want, but if there's a gun crime 6 months from that date all gun control laws will be erased forever !!!
They'd never go for it though, they only want to take guns away from law abiding citizens to further their control, goals, agendas, and they know if the citizenry is armed there would be an open season on politicians, lawyers, and corporate directors.
I'm not sure it would make any difference. While I do wear Levi's jeans I buy one pair every 5 years or so.
I hate to say it but brand reputation just doesn't matter in the mid range consumer staples. It matters only on the very small or very big. You might skip a restaurant that had a "no Irish" sign or be choosy about car brands but you have no idea the background company when you buy a can of soup or a snow shovel.
I'm surprised that this makes sense to Levi's. But I suppose their target demographic is a lot younger than me. I assume they have the numbers to support the decision.
If it really bugs you write a letter. Very few do and consumer feedback gets heard throughout even the vastest corporate structures.
I don't know if it makes much difference but it is the principal of it. I am like chem soldier, I rarely shop at any of the places listed and I have quit watching most professional sports many years ago so my impact is minimal. I also only buy Wrangler jeans as they sponsor professional rodeo which I enjoy watching, and I like their fit and style. There again I bet I don't spend over a hundred dollars on jeans a year.

The loss of a loved one is a devastating event for any of us.
The grief we experience is overwhelming, we don’t know which way to turn, we feel lost and we feel alone. Each of us who mourn are blessed to be comforted by God.
The pain of a loss will never go away completely, but in time it will fade to a tolerable level and peace will be restored to your soul. This journey we walk is one we never have to do alone. God is there to love us, to comfort us, to hold us and to bring us peace.
There is no right or wrong way to mourn. In Eastern cultures of Biblical times, mourning was emotional, external and not quiet. Many times mourners were hired to weep, wail and carry on.
We have all been to funerals where there are those who don’t believe and therefore may not be comforted. There is comfort for some but not for others.
As we believe, we mourn and we are comforted.

Okay, welcome back to our case study of a To Do list manager.
This is part of our peer review preparation.
a CoreData backed list of To Dos, and we have a detail pane that we can edit.
down through that view hierarchy.
We're going to create that CoreData model.
be used to create the cell view of our entity that we're creating the CoreData.
Then we're going to go ahead and add some navigation items to our views.
that there's a place where to start them.
object context all the way down, using our protocols or protocols.
And then how that all comes together.
So let's go back to our project, our Xcode project that we've been working on.
model that's going to hold our To Do.
make a To Do list manager keep track of.
creatively about what you might want to do.
items that are going to be set up.
We're going to have the title of the To Do.
We're going to have a detailed description of the To Do.
And then we're going to have a due date when that To Do presumably is done.
throughout our code and we're just going to say, to do entity so that we know.
we know that it came from this interface, did I spell it right?
a relational database and this is in fact what's underlying this.
Then we're going to add some attributes which were the columns in our database.
And the first one we're going to add is just the title.
The title is going to be a string.
And the title for this To Do is going to be required.
the attribute's properties to come up over here.
I don't know what that's about, but.
Now, then you click back in, it comes up.
I have a hard time getting those attributes to show up.
attribute here, and I want to make the title not be optional.
I also don't want it to be there but empty.
So I'm going to make it have a minimal length of one.
reset it to zero when I hit minimum length.
Hit Tab, make sure it sticks, great.
Now, it's going to be my first attribute.
used in other places and objectives here, and I don't want that to mess me up.
we'll call it To Do details.
And actually, let's finish that off.
To Do details, make it a string.
And again, the properties of that attribute aren't there.
I'm going to click outside in order to get the properties of the To Do details.
It's okay if the details are optional, we'll let that be optional.
What I want to do here is come back here and make this consistent though.
Get the properties of the attribute, and I'm going to make it consistent.
So it's To Do, do title, I just wanted to change the name.
Then the last thing that I want to do, is I want to add the due date.
So I'm going to make a To Do Due Date.
And this is going to be a date type.
And for, I am fine if this is also optional.
Now if you come over here on your pane, you can specify some minimum values.
the future and it couldn't figure out where the error was coming from.
So when you do this make sure that you're careful.
say it can go as far back as the beginning of 2015.
And I won't worry about putting a maximum date or a default value.
You don't have to put a constraint in here, but if, yeah this is just optional.
Give it a minimum value.
It looks like we have the three attributes we want.
create the code that helps us to interact with this CoreData element.
And we'll do that under editor.
And we'll create our NS managed object subclass.
We're going to create the To Do entity, please.
That's one I'd like to manage.
Like to put it in our project.
want to use an entity, you see that we can access different aspects of it.
That's if we want to add our own code, we add our own code here.
it will change these files.
which is a string, and the toDoDueDate which is an NSDate pointer object.
Okay, so that's our CoreData.
And we come over here and we try to define its class.
We see that it is a UITableViewCell.
access to code for that class, same way that we did the other elements as well.
So the UITableViewCell is the thing that we want to subclass.
Let's do that by creating a new file.
That is a new Cocoa IOS, boy, that keeps messing up on me.
There we go, and we will use our same pattern and say, MyUITableViewCell.
elements in our UI that we want to manage.
the subclass, we want to come over here and select our table cell.
And we want to make it of the class that we just created, MyUITableViewCell, great.
code we can have access to it programmatically.
an island outside of our view hierarchy.
So, let's do that next.
Create a To Do button and segueway it to the new view controller.
What that means is we have to look at our table view here and decide what we want.
Well, for starters, our root view controller here, I don't like the name.
Root view controller is not particularly user friendly.
And so, I want to change it.
Let's see if I can find where it's changed.
We're going to call this our to do list.
And what we would like to do is we would like to add a button.
And we want a bar button item, a special kind of button.
And we're going to put it on the right side.
Put it on the right side.
There we go. And it didn't show up in the right place.
I'm going to drag it down to the right side.
the right place in the hierarchy of my scene.
it is the right button bar.
I don't want it to be item.
Item would be a custom class.
And when I select it, it's not selecting it.
Maybe I'm too far zoomed out.
Sometimes if you're too far zoomed out you can't select it.
But it's not letting me zoom in to select it.
So, I'm going to select it over here instead.
sometimes gives you a little bit more confidence that you have the right thing.
reflects the semantic work of adding an item to our to do list.
it will still mean add however they want to change it in the future.
So, for now, it's a blue plus sign.
And so, I've added it.
I want it to create a segueway that moves into this smaller view controler.
I could do that by control clicking here and dragging it over.
I'm having trouble selecting my UI.
I'm going to control drag here to this new view controller.
I want that to be a show segueway.
that this is no longer an orphan.
add a navigation item to this which will give it a header.
this is going to be a place where we edit our to-do list items.
And it's also a place where we will create a new one.
So, I'll call it a to-do, let's call it the to-do editor.
Actually, let's call it a to do item.
Actually, let's just call it a to do.
and everything in this scene is going to be the to do.
So, let's just leave it as to do.
And while we're here, let's change this.
No, I think it's okay.
I think, I want the back button to say To Do List, I think.
Was what we said we we were going to do.
We said we were going to create a new to do button.
That's the plus button that we added to the navigation bar.
and when we did that it made it, it gave it the navigation bar.
of passing the managed object context down the hierarchy.
Before we do that, I want to run it make sure it's working okay.
use this protocol that we created in the way that we meant for it to be created.
All right. So, let's run it.
First of all, oh, we have some warnings.
So, let's check out what our warnings are.
incomplete implementation return the number of rows.
This reflects the fact that we haven't created a delegate for our table view yet.
We don't need to do that quite yet.
Let's run what we've got so far.
Now we have our To Do List and our plus button.
We hit our plus button and we get our new To Do view.
And we can go back to our To Do List.
Great. That's all we wanted to do at this point.
as we are displaying the different views in the view controller.
So, to do that, let's see.
Let me get my notes here.
this is the point at which we have a managed objects context.
And we need to get a handle on that.
We need to get a pointer to it.
We need to send it to our navigation view controller, our navigation controller.
That is our root to you controller.
And so, let's see if we can get access to that.
Now, this is a generic term for the first, and that initial view controller.
we know that it's going to be an example of a myUI, my, whoops.
Wait for the beach ball.
Well, actually, what we're going to do is we're going to use our protocol here.
So, we don't actually care what our root view controller is.
implements our DP handles mock protocol.
All right? And so, we're going to cast it to that.
So, we'll get an exception if it's not that.
We know that it is our my navigation view controller.
Because of the way we set up our storyboard.
the time being we're going to get a head of ourselves.
And we're going to say that this is what we have.
So, we'll say NS object dp handles lock.
And this is going to be the child, and it is a pointer to that.
And we're going to set that equal to the first root controller.
And then, we don't recognize this, so let's include it.
Give it a second to catch up.
And then, we will return yes.
And wait for our things to resolve.
controller, and this doesn't implement it yet, so our next task is to implement it.
that this implements the DPHandlesMOC interface.
we're going to tell the compiler what that is.
And great, and then we actually have to declare that.
And then we have to implement it.
which happens to be the navigation controller.
So in here we are going to say, oh, we're going to need a place to keep track of it.
So we're going to keep track of it up here.
is an example of the managed object context that we want to keep track of.
And so it is a property that is going to be local to this class.
And we are going to make it strong and nonatomic.
and it's a pointer to that.
And we are going to call it, I'll call it our managedObjectContext.
All right, how's that working?
Don't need these numbers, great.
that if we need it in order to change our Core Data objects, we have access to it.
we passed it down the chain.
The next thing down the chain in the navigation controller is the table view.
And so what we want to do is we want to pass it down the chain to the table view.
controller is the table view, and so we know that it is going to.
Yeah, Sam corrected me on something.
Let's go back to our app delegate here.
object that implements DPHandlesMOC like that.
It's a little bit more general.
now it's going to find its child that it's going to pass it to.
that is going to be equal to, we're going to cast it to the right thing.
And we are going to look at all the view controllers that are its children.
There is only one, and that is going to be the one that we have here.
we're going to pass the managed object context down the chain.
doesn't actually do a segue in order to load its table view.
Our navigation controller has now passed it on to our table view.
And so we need to do the same thing in our table view.
Here, let's go to our navigation controller.
We see that it has to handle MOC.
It is also going to have to handle the managed object context.
We have to declare it.
had in our navigation controller.
So I'm going to grab it from our navigation controller.
Now let's go to our table view controller.
We're going to declare a local variable, which is our managed object context.
We're going to go back to our navigation controller.
We're going to get the code to save it.
we're going to go down to the bottom where we have some space.
And we are going to keep track of it here.
because it didn't have any other way to do that, at least straightforward way.
it's not going to do that until there's actually a transition made.
we have some stubbed out code here that Xcode made for us.
prepareForSegue is called right before you switch to that detailed sender line.
in this code, do the work of passing our managed object context down.
So it's an example of doing it in a different way.
Rather than doing it in our received MOC context, we're going to do it here.
All right. Let's see what we're going to do.
All right. So the sender is who is sending it.
that's view controller that we're going to.
that it implements our DPHandlesMOC implementation.
We will then assign that to a local variable, which we'll call the child.
we're going to pass our managed object context to the view controller.
All right, so as we transition, the view controller is going to get it.
the view controller itself and implement these same things.
implemented, we're going to get the interface for it.
okay, the view controller is going to implement that handles protocol.
And we need to make sure that the compiler knows about it.
going to get the same code.
We're going to put it in the view controller.
Same place, going to go back to our TableViewController.
which is where we're going to keep track of our managed object context.
starting with our application, which isn't on our storyboard.
which immediately passes it to our table view controller.
at which point it passes it down to our to-do element.
All right, so it should run, we shouldn't have any trouble.
Let's just check what our warnings are.
which we haven't gotten to yet.
Let's make sure we got everything on this section that we wanted to do.
Yep, so we're good to go.
So that's, it should run, we shouldn't have any problem.
Let's make sure it runs before we wrap up this video.
And when we hit our plus button, that's when that segue was invoked.
element in it received the managed object context.
So there was no error.
So that's everything we wanted to accomplish in this video.
We'll pick up again in a second.
Well, in a second if you watch repeatedly.
Otherwise it'll be as long as you wait until the next video.
You have the locus of control.

One of the biggest downsides of being in a relationship is when the honeymoon period ends and things begin to get #real. Sure there’s bound to be little fights, annoyances, and a few tears that will creep into your coupledom, but if your relationship seems like more work than it’s worth, check out these seven signs that it might be time to move on.
1. You no longer want to make them a priority.
When you first started dating they were your #1. Texts to say good morning. Texts to say goodnight, plans on plans on plans, and checking in with each other was the norm. Now other people, events and things have easily taken your significant other’s place and you don’t even feel bad about it.
2. Your social media tells a drastically different story than what’s going on in your real life.
Ok Ok so maybe you don’t want to annoy your followers with photo after photo of you and your special someone, but if you’re in a relationship and your insta feed suddenly looks like a single girls guide to life, it might be time to really become single.
3. You’ve started to get jealous…of everyone.
Seriously…when you actually start to feel your blood boil when you see the same person liking every Instagram post your bf/gf puts up, or they laugh a little too much at another person’s joke, there’s def something off.
4. You begin to not trust your bf/gf.
If you start to entertain the idea of looking through their phone, and begin obsessively checking all their social platforms to keep tabs on who they’re talking to, where they’re going and what they’re up to, consider this a huge red flag.
5. You’re fighting more and more.
When your relationship is crumbling, everything starts to annoy you, piss you off, and fighting becomes the norm. No thanks…time to move on.
6. You don’t talk about your bf/gf or relationship anymore.
You used to love sharing stories, adventures and cute things about your relationship with your friends, now it doesn’t even cross your mind to mention anything about it when you’re with your besties.
7. The relationship feels like a chore.
Hanging out, talking, checking in, and making plans is equivalent to doing dishes or cleaning the bathroom. um ew.

Dr Kamal, also the Gono Forum chief, made the remarks while addressing a programme arranged by Sammilito Peshajibi Parishad as the chief guest, reports UNB.
"People waged the Liberation War with a dream of becoming the country's owners and establishing their voting right. We're now untied to cast our votes," he said.
"Even after 47 years of the country's independence, we've to go to election through waging a movement. What can be more shameful than this?" questioned Dr Kamal.
"We're untied to use our voting rights... we've to safeguard the trust of martyrs. No autocrat will be allowed to stay there in power," he added.
The Oikyafront chief urged the voters to go to polling stations early in the morning on December 30 and stay there to check vote rigging and all other irregularities. "You all remain united so that no one can obstruct voters."
Recalling the glorious role of Bangladesh Police in the country's Liberation War, he called upon its members not to indulge in any unfair and unethical acts regarding the election.

Fitbit sells millions of devices a year — but it'll have to keep customers actually using its product if it wants to edge out the competition.
A model displays a Fitbit Flex and a smartphone on May 7, 2013.
In its 200-page IPO filing Thursday, Fitbit confirmed its leading edge in the fitness-tracker industry: It sold nearly 11 million devices and generated $745.4 million in revenue last year alone.
But as Fitbit seeks to defend its market share against competitors, including the Apple Watch, another important factor is how successfully it can convince users to keep using their devices, and perhaps to pay for new features and services. Those internal figures have now been disclosed for the first time.
Somewhat famously, people tend to lose or grow bored with fitness wearables in general. According to a 2013 survey, one-third of users stopped using theirs within six months.
Fitbit said in its S-1 filing it had about 9.5 million "paid active users" as of April 1. (For context, since 2007 the company has sold almost 21 million devices, including wristbands and wireless Aria scales.) But the somewhat complicated definition of "paid active users" makes it hard to discern just how "active" these users are.
Fitbit's definition encompasses people who, within the three months prior to March 31, had an active subscription to Fitbit Premium or the newly acquired FitStar; synced a tracker or scale to a Fitbit account; weighed themselves on a Fitbit scale; or walked at least 100 steps with a tracker. (Users with many devices linked to a Fitbit account were counted only once.) But Fitbits are intended to be a constant part of users' lives, and tracking 100 steps — about 1/20th of a mile — on a Fitbit over the course of three months doesn't necessarily translate into long-term consistent use.
The Fitbit Zips at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, on Feb. 24, 2014.
A better, though incomplete, sense of Fitbit's user engagement comes from a startup called Evidation Health. Its platform, AchieveMint, invites people to sync more than 100 fitness apps and devices and rewards them for healthy activities with points that can be converted into cash or merchandise.
"Fitbit users are actually really highly engaged," said Luca Foschini, Evidation's head of data science, citing data from 20,000 Fitbit users since mid-2010.
For BuzzFeed News, Foschini crunched numbers on people Fitbit would consider paid active users. Half of them logged an activity on about 70 of the prior 90 days, he said.
Another way to measure retention is the number of people who leave. Of all Fitbit users, 5 percent stop using their device within a week of buying it, and 12.5 percent stop within a month, Foschini said.
Fitbit executives "actually have a case that the people that buy a Fitbit tend to stick to it, tend to use it," Foschini said.
A Fitbit spokeswoman declined to comment.
This isn't a comprehensive picture of all Fitbit users worldwide. AchieveMint's users, by nature of joining the service, tend to be more motivated to work out, Evidation's executives said.
But these figures do provide a glimpse into Fitibit's status as it tries to fend off many competitors in the wireless health and fitness device industry, like Garmin, Jawbone, Misfit, Google, LG, Microsoft, and Samsung. In its S-1 filing, it specifically called out the Apple Watch as a potential threat, and it remains to be seen whether the watch's fitness-tracking sensors will replace consumers' desire for a Fitbit.
"I think the vast majority of users we see in our platform aren't probably shelling out $350 for an Apple Watch," compared to $60 for a Fitbit Zip, said Christine Lemke, chief product officer of Evidation. "The price point is going to keep it from being a serious threat to Fitbit in the near term."
In the end, the winner will not only sell the most devices; it will persuade the largest number of people to keep coming back.

I thought Rosetti looked pretty tired in this game. It was end to end at the later stages of the game - but he wasn't keeping up with the pace well enough. I'd hate to see him have to officiate a Netherlands game. He should be fit enough to keep close, at points in the game he was walking and miles away from the action. Overall though he wasn't the worst I have seen (in terms of cards etc). I'd say a 2/3 would be about right... a must do better.
I kind of agree, but I thought it was his positioning rather than his fitness, although your right that at times he seemed to struggle to keep up. I think he ran the diagional without wanting to deviate too much off that line, which is OK when the pace is slow, but of no use in a game at this level. My real problem was with the linesman recieving the Greek forwards in the second half, I believe he was too quick with the flag on several occassions.
This was not the same Roberto Rosetti who had been excellent in the opening match of the tournament. He often seemed very far from the action, sometimes about 30 meters. He allowed too many offenses to go unpunished and, when he did whistle, seemed inconsistent, sanctionning smaller offenses and disregarding what seemed to me to be serious offenses. After the goal, the game picked up in intensity and there were a few yellow card offenses until half-time but he only gave one yellow, to Karagounis. Mind you, it was a valid yellow card but how about a card for Semak for a much more dangerous tackle on a Greek player a minute prior? I thought Rosetti was too lenient towards the Russian players. Hard offside call by the Assistant Referee on the action leading to the goal that would have been the greek equalizer. From the camera angle, the Greek player seemed on-side to me. In my opinion, Rosetti did not have a good game last night. I gave him two stars for this game.
