Don’t tell this author that mobile will take over in 2015, video is a big trend right now or Ello will be the next big thing. He doesn’t agree.
It’s that time of year—the 2015 trends/prediction posts are rolling out. I’ve already had my fill.
Between the predictable (2015 is the year of mobile!) and the ridiculously far-fetched (augmented reality will transform PR in 2015!), I’m already sick of 99 percent of these posts.
A few predictions have caught my eye—but not because they’re accurate. They’re 100 percent wrong.
Let’s take a peek at them, and consider what a rational person would say.
Prediction 1: Mobile will take over.
Ninety-one percent of Americans own a cell phone.
Sixty-one percent of Americans own a smartphone.
Mobile ad spending doubled in 2013 and 2014.
Consumers spend 60 percent of their Internet time on mobile devices.
Do you still think mobile will take over in 2015? Haven’t we been saying that for a few years? This prediction is two to three years late.
Prediction 2: We’ll witness the rise of Ello.
We haven’t heard much about Ello since it burst onto the scene in late September. As far as I can tell, no one is reporting any user metrics.
That silence is deafening. Even though search traffic isn’t an indicator of usage, I agree with the insinuations in this article.
I know, Twitter started this way, too. But that was a long time ago (especially in Internet years), and I don’t buy Ello’s value proposition. I’m guessing others don’t, either. If that’s not enough, when was the last time you heard about anybody using Ello?
Prediction 3: Using video and LinkedIn are big trends right now.
Using LinkedIn is a big trend? Am I in a time warp? Is this 2007?
In the predictor’s defense (Bas van den Beld), he’s referring to the effect of LinkedIn’s publishing platform on brands.
I don’t see the publishing tool as a game-changer. It gives individuals the opportunity to post, which is big for those without blogs, and we’ve seen executives use LinkedIn publishing to share company messages and opinions. I recently blogged about that micro-trend. But it’s just that—a micro-trend. It’s not a huge trend we’ll see next year.
Prediction 4: Visual storytelling will emerge as a main strategy for growing communities.
What bugs me about these predictions is that most are obvious.
Who doesn’t know by now that visual storytelling is a big trend for brands looking to gain traction in social media and online storytelling? If you made this prediction two years ago, it may have been accurate. It’s almost laughable as a prediction for 2015.
Prediction 5: The native advertising backlash will intensify—but from brands, not media critics. At some point, brands will wonder why they’re paying to rent an audience instead of building their own.
Building your own audience sounds so easy, right?
It’s not, which is why sponsored stories and native advertising are so popular with brands. Why build your own audience when you can rent space from publishers who are paid and trained to build and nurture audiences?

People are typically worried about starting XP on the basis of personality types. There is typically a very small number of people who just don't "get it", and developers become concerned that they will fall through the cracks, or that their best coworkers will.
There is more that each Agile team member needs beyond technical wizardry. These are really as much attitudes as skills. When the team begins to break down, it tends to be along certain lines. To help adopters, it is good to have a clear statement of some values that members need in order to reduce friction and keep the project moving.
Mottos and slogans are not the answer to real problems among people. If a set of developers have unresolved past conflicts, they will find it difficult to take to this way of thinking. I am not sure how possible it is to coach people out of bad history with each other. I suspect it will be necessary for some of them to find a different team where they can have feelings of equality, humanity, cooperation, etc.
What these attitudes & skills can do is set an expectation. When a team is starting out, they should understand that the normative behavior is to ask questions, look for ways to measure the quality of their input and output (information), to contribute equally with their peers (energy, equality, cooperation), and to have patience when others are struggling (humanity). With such a start, there is some chance of the team being successful together. With a balk at the very ideas espoused, there is a good chance that the team needs a little refactoring.

Here we will check 10 Most Common Galaxy J7 Pro Problems/Issues and How To Fix Them.Recently, Samsung launched the latest mass-mid segment smartphone by the name of Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro. This wonderful device comes with the Samsung Pay feature in-build. It sports the classy all-metal unibody design and is extremely sleek. As usual, a smartphone needs to have few issues as no device is perfect. The users have been facing various issues and problems be it of software related or performance.
Galaxy J7 Pro comes with a 5.5-inch full HD super AMOLED display screen, a 1.6GHz Exynos 7870 Octa Core SoC processor, and Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box. It comes with a massive 3 GB RAM as well as 64 GB storage capacity which can be expanded up to 128 GB using an external SD card. The device also sports a 13 MP rear camera and a 13 MP front camera while it also comes with dual SIM support with 4G/3G VoLTE.
In this post, we will be discussing with you some of the issues faced by Galaxy J7 Pro users and how to get rid of such problems.So if you are a Galaxy J7 Pro user, then you should check out the post as it will be helpful for you.
Users are facing freezing issues as few of the programs are freezing when the device runs multiple apps at the same time.
Switch off the Bluetooth and then turn it on again.
Delete the prior pairings, and place them again from the start.
Now, clear the cache of Bluetooth by going to Settings and then navigation to the Application manager and then selecting the Bluetooth app.
Restart the device and then run the camera app again to determine if the error still occurs.
Check for the updates by going to Settings -> About phone, and there you will see if an update is available or not. If you find an update available, install it immediately.
Wi-Fi issues are one of the most common sights experienced by Android users. The same is the case with Galaxy J7 Pro as users have been complaining about this issue. Here is the fix for the issue.
Restart the modem and the router.
Now, a new connection will start and fix the Wi-Fi issue on your Galaxy J7 Pro.
Check if the quick cable charging option is checked or not. If it is not, then you need to check it and enable it. It can be done by going to Settings -> Battery -> Quick cable charging and then checking it.
Another suggestion is that you must always use the charger that came with the Galaxy J7 Pro and not any the charger for any other device.
Boot it into the protected mood and check if the auto-rotate feature is working. If so, then just uninstall the program which you installed recently and with which this issue began.
There are cases where it can be caused due to the detectors like an accelerometer and the G-sensor. You need to get the GPS and Status Toolbox program for recalibration of these detectors.
Find the apps which are not highlighted and turn them on.
The fingerprint scanner in this device is located on the rear side just next to the camera. Most users are complaining about the imperfect location of the fingerprint scanner. Since we cannot do anything to modify the location of the scanner, we can follow this cool trick to make things easier.
Set up the scanner to get a more accurate reading. You can change the angle so that the tip of your finger, direction etc. so that it will produce the handling of the device easier.
Swipe anywhere at the bottom of the screen and you will get the program tray. This practice is quite simple and easy.

I’m having trouble believing it, but this is the last full week of classes for the spring semester, which wraps up on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday will be study days before exams start on Wednesday. With that in mind, it’s a good time to recap the academic pathways of our graduating student bloggers. Today we’ll look at Adi‘s “annotated curriculum” for his two years in the MIB program. As you’ll see, an annotated curriculum is what it sounds like — a useful device we’ve developed for students to describe how they combined their courses and out-of-class activities during their studies at Fletcher.
I managed external partnerships and public relations for CISDI, a social startup working on healthcare development in Indonesia.
I would like to merge my newly developed financial skills with my social development background.
A little more than two years since undergraduate does not sound like a long time, but in my first semester, I definitely needed an adjustment period to revive my schooling and student habits. That is why I really enjoyed the Strategic Management course, which was a two-week Monday-to-Friday session before the fall semester actually started. Corporate Finance was the highlight of my semester. While there was no way for me to avoid taking it, since it’s a required MIB course, I truly enjoyed this first exposure to finance and it inspired my interest to learn everything about the topic. Taking this course in the same semester as Investment Management and Financial Statement Management was not easy, but the courses complemented each other in deepening my financial knowledge. Managerial Economics was a good refresher on my economics knowledge from undergraduate. I also really enjoyed Arts of Communication. I took it knowing that enhancing my public speaking skills could only do good for my personal and professional development, but I must say that the whole experience surprised me in how practical and hands-on the projects were.
My second semester was still filled with a lot of required courses for the MIB program, including International Financial and Fiscal Law, Macroeconomics, and Marketing Management. I also had to pick a regional course, for which I decided to learn about China because of all the talk about China being a global superpower. As it turned out, I did learn a little bit of everything about China, including its history, its relations with neighboring countries and regions such as Taiwan and Hong Kong, its industrial development, political set-up, and cultural matters. Completing my course list for this semester were two classes with Professor Jacque, whom I had for Corporate Finance. In International Financial Management, I learned about derivative usage, including hedging, speculating, and risk management. For Global Financial Services, I explored different cases of financial disasters throughout history. I decided to really double down on my finance training, to ensure that I could pivot into a career in the financial industry, either for my summer internship or after Fletcher, and thus these two classes were the highlight of my semester.
After a first year full of required courses, I finally had some flexibility in choosing classes in my third semester. My class on Petroleum was interesting because it discussed a topic that is connected to most issues, but which I have little exposure to or knowledge of. Negotiation has always been one of the most recommended classes at Fletcher, and it definitely equipped me with practical knowledge that I can bring in future engagements, in both my personal and professional life. Art and Science of Statecraft was the outlier of the semester, in that it was not business related, although its common theme on power can easily be implemented in a business setting. Finally, I really enjoyed my Project Finance course. The cases discussed were fascinating, ranging from talking about an aluminum mine in Mozambique all the way to building a new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys. It was a class that brought everything together, from financial modeling to political risk and cultural awareness.
And yes, here we are, the final semester. Back when I was a first-year, it seemed strange when alumni and second-year students kept talking about how time flies, and yet it is true. With most of my required courses out of the way, I took one final “required” course in Political Economy of Development to complete my International Political Economy Field of Study. I managed to cross-register at Harvard Business School, taking a class on Building Sustainable Cities, which built a lot on the knowledge that I described in my Project Finance course the previous semester. I registered for two half-semester module classes in Private Equity and Latin America, with Private Equity providing me with practical experience in managing a fund, and Latin America fulfilling my curiosity about a region that many at Fletcher are focused on, and yet I know little about. Nonetheless, I would say that Managing NGOs and Social Enterprises is my favorite class at Fletcher so far, which is funny because at the beginning of the semester, this was the only class I did not plan to take. The cases and concepts discussed in this class brought me back to my work prior to Fletcher, and generated ideas I hope I can implement someday.
← Waiting for Fletcher? This post is for you.

While Liz Taylor treasured chicken with avocado and mushrooms Katharine Hepburn baked mean brownies. The stars of yore `s gastronomic secrets are being served up in a new book and they taste.
"The Dead Celebrity Cookbook," just published in the United States, reveals a smorgasbord of top dishes from artists of yesteryear, whose films and songs we all know, but whose favorite recipes have until now mostly been a mystery.
The fruit of a decade and a half of passionate research, the book "was a labor of love," its author Frank DeCaro told AFP.
"I've been collecting for about 15 years, I would go to flee markets, I would use eBay. I ended up with so many of them that I had to pick and choose," he said.
"I would buy everything, manuals that came with microwave ovens, or flyers handed out in supermarkets in the 60s, recipes attributed to specific celebrities.
"I hope, I like to believe that they were in fact truly their recipes," he added.
The volume includes recipes from more than 140 stars of music, cinema and television, ranging from Michael Jackson's sweet potato pie and Frank Sinatra's barbecued lamb to Patrick Swayze's chicken pie.
"In the past, celebrities used to always be asked to provide recipes... that was part of public relations. They would offer up recipes in benefit cookbooks or magazine articles," explained DeCaro.
"They were published all over the place," added the writer, formerly a film critic on US television.
"These recipes come from a time when we didn't know everything there was to know about every celebrity. They were more in control of their image, and when they chose a recipe I think it said something about them."
DeCaro decided to only include recipes chosen by celebrities who are already dead, partly because he hopes his work will help people rediscover forgotten stars.
"I get very upset when people say 'Oh, it was before my time' or 'I wasn't born when it was on air.' If Lady Gaga can know who Liberace is, so can you. It's good to know what came before," he said.
The other reason he focused on dead artists was because present-day celebrities barely ever talk about their favorite food.
"I think part of it was that people cooked at home. To be a home cook was something people were proud of, they knew they could connect with their fans that way," said DeCaro.
"But I think also that when you have chefs who become celebrities, you don't really need an actor to share his kitchen activity with us. The chefs themselves are the stars, now, when it comes to food, so you don't really care what the cast of 'Glee' is cooking, which kind of makes me sad."
Now, the reader can gorge on pianist Liberace's sticky buns, Ann Miller's "terrific" fettucini alfredo, and Hepburn's brownies. "If you have an Oscar party, you will get an award for serving Katharine Hepburn's brownies.
"They are the best brownies ever. There are not a ton of recipes out there from her, but the ones that are out there are really good," he added.
And his least favorite celebrity recipe?
"Isabel Sanford's Boston chicken," he replied without hesitation, referring to the actress who played the mother in American sitcom "The Jeffersons" in the 1970s and early 80s.
"It's chicken with Russian dressing, and apricot jam and onions, all at the same time. And I'm not convinced those three things should be mixed and put on a chicken."
This Christmas, cookbooks are competing with more serious works on Nelson Mandela in South African bookshops.

I am pleased to be here today to share with you views on current developments in world economy and international economic cooperation. I am glad to see that cooperation is the central theme of this panel. I have long believed that international cooperation is the only recipe for sustainable development and growth of all countries. This is especially true in the area of the environment, with cooperation needed to tackle climate change; it is also valid in the area of health, where we need global cooperation to fight pandemics such as HIV-Aids or malaria, to name just two; and it is also the case of trade, and in particular the on-going trade negotiations under the Doha Development Agenda.
Today there is a broad consensus that trade opening plays a vital role in growth and development. This is clear from the Report of the UN Secretary-General for this ECOSOC. Trade opening and rule-making are indeed major goals of the WTO. But today a number of the current substantive rules of the WTO do perpetuate some bias against developing countries. This is true for example with rules on subsidies in agriculture that allow for trade-distorting subsidies which tends to favour developed countries. This is also true when we look at the high tariffs that many developed counties apply on imports of agricultural and industrial products, in particular from developing countries. I often say that while the political decolonization took place more than 50 years ago, we have not yet completed economic decolonization. A fundamental aspect of the Doha Development Agenda is therefore to redress the remaining imbalances in the multilateral trading system and to provide developing countries with improved market opportunities.
But while trade is an essential ingredient, we also know that trade opening is not a panacea for all the challenges of development. Nor is it necessarily easy to accomplish or effective unless it is embedded in a supportive economic, social and political context.
My point is that trade opening is necessary but not sufficient in itself to ensure that the benefits of the negotiation bring positive results for the people in developing countries. In fact trade opening can only be politically and economically sustainable if it is complemented by flanking policies which address, at the same time, capacity problems — human, bureaucratic or structural — and the challenges of distribution of the benefits created by more open trade. This is where trade policy intersects with education and social security, with fiscal policies, with infrastructures. This policy mix must be carefully considered as noted in the UN Secretary General's Report.
If addressing this policy mix is a difficult task in developed countries, which have the necessary means to do it, it becomes a truly uphill battle in many developing countries. This is what motivated placing Aid for Trade high on the WTO agenda, together and in parallel with the Doha Round.
Aid for Trade aims at improving the capacity of developing countries to reap the benefits of more open trade. For some developing members this will mean setting up testing facilities and reliable institutions to help to ensure that exported products meet the technical, sanitary and phytosanitary regulations and standards of export markets. For some others it would mean larger-scale projects such as improving transport infrastructure and trade logistics.
The WTO has limited activities in this field, mainly focused on training, which means that the Aid for Trade initiative has been set up in collaboration with the World Bank, UNCTAD, the IMF, UNDP, regional development banks, the OECD and other agencies who have brought their expertise to bear. The WTO will provide the platform for monitoring and regularly reviewing whether Aid for Trade is being adequately funded and delivering the expected results. In particular, we need to make sure that donors translate their pledges to increase Aid for Trade into realty. We also need beneficiaries to ensure that trade figures prominently in their development assistance priorities. Finally, we also need to work on better coordinating the assistance provided by donors.
To this end, in the autumn we will hold three regional Aid for Trade reviews in Latin America, Asia and Africa, with the cooperation of the respective regional development banks and the World Bank. All this will lead to the first global monitoring and evaluation event which will be hosted here on 20-21 November.
In the meantime, I am also happy to note the progress achieved in the revamping of the Integrated Framework providing assistance to our poorest Members, under the leadership of the Canadian Ambassador Don Stephenson. Donors now need to focus on the upcoming funding meeting that Sweden has agreed to host in Stockholm in September and which will be a test of our collective promise to translate the promises of focused assistance to the Least Developed countries into realty.
But Aid for Trade must be a complement to, not a substitute for, ambitious results in the Doha Development Agenda. Increasing trade opportunities for developing countries and in particular the LDCs, remains far and away the most important contribution that the WTO can make to development.
The Doha Round has seen its ups and downs. It has seen agreements such as the July 2004 Framework and progress at the Hong Kong Ministerial in December 2005. But it has also seen setbacks and doubts, as evidenced in July 2006. Today the Doha Round is at a crossroad: the path towards success or the slow move towards a deep freeze.
WTO Members have pledged to conclude these negotiations around the end of the year, ahead of the start of the an intense political process in the US in 2008, which will be followed by changes in the European Parliament and in the European Commission in 2009. But if this is to be achieved, we need key progress in agriculture subsidies and tariffs on agriculture and industrial tariffs now.
Recently four WTO Members meeting in Germany failed to converge on these key elements. This was not good news but it could be fatal if these four members do not play a constructive role in the multilateral negotiations which are now entering into a crucial stage in Geneva under the guidance of the Chairs of the agriculture and industrial tariffs negotiating groups. The two Chairs will be issuing compromise texts shortly, on the basis of the numerous proposals and discussions held by the entire membership to date.
What remains to be done is small compared to all the proposals already on the table, which represents two to three times what was achieved in the last Round of negotiations. But it is also small compared to the potential benefits of rebalancing the multilateral trading system in favour of developing countries or the weakening of this insurance policy against protectionism if we fail in this last lap.
Indeed, today reaching agreement on subsidies depends on additional concessions from the US equivalent to less than a week's worth of transatlantic trade. It depends on an additional handful of percentage reduction in the highest agriculture tariffs by the EU and Japan. It depends on an additional handful of percentage reduction in the highest industrial tariffs by emerging economies such as Brasil or India. All this to be done, not by tomorrow, but over a transition period of several years to leave space for a smooth adjustment.
I hope all WTO members will bear the proportions in mind over the coming weeks when they will be called upon to make the necessary decisions. Today the challenge is less economic than political. It is about making the multilateral trading system deliver. About making international trade cooperation deliver. I urge you to remind WTO negotiators that there are billions of people who are counting on this deal to deliver on the Millennium Development Goals.

Today’s post is by contributing editor David Korostyshevsky, a history PhD candidate at the University of Minnesota.
It was a cloudy, rainy, late-March week in West Lafayette, Indiana when I first encountered Purdue University’s Psychoactive Substances Research Collection (PSRC). Maintained by the university library’s Archives and Special Collections, the PSRC offers the papers of important figures in American psychedelic research, from American LSD studies during the 1960s to the resurgence of international medical and scientific research about psychedelic substances during the 1990s. The collection also boasts an incredible shelf list of psychedelic science literature dating to the 1950s, including books, periodicals, and newsletters.
The collection was founded in 2006 with the support of the Betsy Gordon Foundation. Its origins are linked to the work of Purdue pharmacologist David Nichols, who played an important role in the resumption of psychedelic research science in the early 1990s. When Rick Strassman, a psychiatrist at the University of New Mexico, received government approval to test the effects of DMT and psilocybin on human subjects in 1993, Nichols synthesized the drugs in his laboratory. He is also co-founder of the Heffter Research Institute, a non-profit institution that continues to support research on the neuroscience of the mind, the therapeutic potential of psychedelic drugs, and the connection between body, mind, and consciousness. These events are well covered by the extensive David Nichols Papers and Rick Strassman Papers.
Today, the collection boasts a wide-range of personal papers representing a veritable who’s who in psychedelic research science. In addition the David Nichols Papers, the collection also includes substantial materials from the central figures in American psychedelic research since the 1950s. Highlights include documentation of LSD experimentation at Spring Grove Hospital in Maryland (Charles Savage and Sanford Unger Papers), the Harvard Psilocybin Project (which was led by Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner, and Richard Alpert), the work of Johns Hopkins University researcher William Richards, and the Hollywood Hospital LSD research program and lecture notes.
The collection also includes the papers of other prominent figures within the orbit of twentieth-century psychedelic science such as anthropologist Marlene Dobkin de Rios, mushroom enthusiast John W. Allen, transpersonal psychiatrist Stanislav Grof, and ethnopharmacologist Dennis McKenna. The PSRC also contains a scattering of letters by figures such as Albert Hofman (discoverer of LSD) and writer Aldous Huxley as well as materials related to research on other psychedelic substances such as DMT, MDMA, and ibogaine.
In addition to archival materials, the collection also offers oral history films on its website and extensive documentation of other archives related to psychedelic science on its website. And, of course, the shelf list of published literature about psychedelics drugs is, in and of itself, a tremendous resource offered by the collection.
There are also several points of historical interest that are unrelated to the history of alcohol, drugs, and psychedelic science in the area that historians ought to know about. Just outside West Lafayette are Prophetstown and the Tippecanoe battlefield and memorial. During the early nineteenth century, tensions rose between the US government and the Native American confederacy led by Shawnee brothers Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa, a religious figure known as The Prophet. Indiana Territory Governor William Henry Harrison responded with a force of approximately one thousand men. Government soldiers and the Native American confederacy met on the field of battle on November 7, 1811. While Tecumseh was not present at the battle, Harrison’s army decisively defeated Tenskwatawa’s men and burned their headquarters at Prophetstown to the ground. Academic historians may take umbrage at how the memorial portrays Native Americans and the wider implications of the battle: their loss is made to seem inevitable and their actions are often described with passive voice. But due to these sites’ significance in the early history of the United States and the beauty of their natural surroundings, they are not to be missed.
The PRSC is also a pleasant place to conduct research. The library staff are friendly and helpful, the Virginia Kelly Karnes Reading Room is very comfortable, and the finding aids are some of the best I have ever encountered. For more information about conducting research at the PSRC, contact the France A. Córdova Archivist Stephanie Schmitz, who, along with the staff, made my visit enjoyable and productive.

Anime Challenge Day 20: What video game would make a great anime?
This question is even harder than the one yesterday. I didn’t actually have an answer prepared for this one at all, but I recently got a new game (which seldom happens as I’ve insanely busy until our wedding in October). It got me thinking… how would this game pan out as anime? Would I personally watch it? I decided the answer was yes, of course, for God of War.
God of War already had me hooked with its predecessors. I love Greek mythology. I love the game’s take on it. I love Kratos as a character. I love the combat system. It’s simple, easy to pick up, and so much fun. I love the moody classical musical that ties this game up into a neat little bow. It is truly a pleasure to play.
God of War III sucked me in with those amazing graphics which were stellar for the time and PlayStation 3. Kratos just looked phenomenal. The enemies seemed larger than life and were nothing I had experienced before. The puzzles were well-crafted and enjoyable. There were also new weapons to try out that had some unique powers which I was excited for.
I could not put this game down until I finished it. I felt breathless, my heart pounding all the way up until the very end. Then the game literally took my breath away with its ending. It’s been awhile since I have felt that way about a game if I’m being honest here. I really should make the time to pick this gem back up for a round 2.
The latest game in the God of War series is not exception. I could definitely see myself watching this entire game series as anime. It’s full of fight scenes, emotional turmoil, some tears (from myself of course), and just a great story with great characters based on mythology. God of War would make an amazing anime.

Yes yes yes!!! I’d buy every episode for KH and FF! Great picks!!!
A live action of God of War could take all of my money. I’d be there opening night!
I would watch the hell out of a God of War anime.

At first, it was a matter of seating. Now, it’s the latest viral video to inspire outrage over alleged police brutality.
Nyashia Ferguson, who shot and posted a video on Facebook showing officers pulling a child from his mother’s arms, told reporters that the dispute started when the young mother sat on the floor because there were no more seats available in a crowded room.
The incident occurred at the Human Resources Administration office in Brooklyn’s Boerum Hill, where New Yorkers can apply for food stamps and other forms of public assistance. Jazmine Headley was there to get a voucher for city-funded day care so she could find someone to look after her 1-year-old son, Damone, while she went to work as a cleaner, her mother would tell reporters.
Lines were moving slowly, and the drab gray building was packed.
Told that she would just have to stand, Headley, 23, refused.
The two-and-half-minute video posted to Facebook on Friday shows Headley lying on the floor, surrounded by uniformed New York police officers and security guards. She holds her 1-year-old son firmly in her arms as the officers forcibly try to yank the child away.
“They’re hurting my son,” she screams again and again.
Unmoved, the officers keep on tugging. As onlookers gather around and begin filming the commotion, one officer pulls out a stun gun.

What is the National Bird of Sweden?
The national bird of Sweden is the Blackbird Turdus merula, otherwise known as the Common Blackbird or Eurasian Blackbird, though, of course, in Sweden it is not known by any of those names but as Koltrast.* The Blackbird became the Swedish national bird as a result of a newspaper poll in 1962. Beyond the charisma and song of the species it is unclear why the Swedish people chose the Koltrast as their national bird. It is common in Sweden but so are many other species. Despite my inability to figure out why, exactly, Sweden chose the Blackbird it seems like an excellent choice, especially if one likes The Beatles.
For the record, and in case some folks from the United States read this and don’t know, the Blackbird being referenced here is actually a thrush, like our American Robins. Sweden is one of at least three countries that has a thrush as the national bird (Malta and Costa Rica do as well), but Sweden is the only country to have so honored Turdus merula.
*In different parts of Sweden there are different regional names including Svarttrast, Svartstare, Gråstare, Svartklera, Buskstare, Solsvärta, and Muskvipa.
Want to see all of the national bird posts on 10,000 Birds? Click on our National Birds page!
Blackbirds used to be a forest bird but changed its habitat to live in our gardens and parks. Now it is a bird seen by most Swedes everyday and is loved for its song. It stays thru our harsh winters and is a frequent guest at our birdfeeders. Maybe its familiarity made it a winner!

Scotland’s top local DJs can be found every weekend in Subby, and international big names are often brought in. The residents themselves, Harri and Domenic, do a perfect job. Overall, definitely the best line-up in Scotland and one of the top ones in the UK.
Located on Jamaica Street in the heart of Glasgow's city centre, Sub Club is easily accessible by public transport.

There is a 99.9% chance that you'll have time of your life.
The crowd are made up of a range of people from 18-50 years old. Sub Club usually hosts student nights on Sundays. There’s no dress code (as long as you don't show up in your gym gear). There are no egos, only the nicest and friendliest faces.
Bodyguards usually ask you 3 questions before they let you in. 1. Are you OK? 2. Who’s playing? And 3. Have you been to Subby before? Usually they're nice and let you in anyway but if they see that you're under the influence or you have no clue what's going on in there, they may refuse entry.
Bar staff are quick and friendly and you never need to wait too long for a drink.
There are 2 queues: one for people with tickets and one for those without. Even on the most crowded nights both queues move quickly.
Overall an extremely wonderful experience – you won't be disappointed by Sub Club, that's why it's rated one of the top places to party in the UK.
Buy your tickets online, (priced around £10 – £13) as this queue moves slightly faster.

saa713x devices are collectively those PCI cards that are based upon one of the SAA713x chips, and which are supported under Linux by the saa7134 and associated kernel driver modules.
TV cards based on the saa713x chips are well supported by the saa7134 driver. The picture quality is typically high, and the sound can be taken directly from the TV card (SAA7131, SAA7133, SAA7134, SAA7135) or through a patch cable to your sound card (SAA7130HL). On the text capture front, both teletext and NTSC closed captioning are supported.
These modules do not require parameters during insertion. For details and sound problems see saa7134-alsa.
An up-to-date list of saa713x devices supported by V4L-DVB drivers is found in the CARDLIST.saa7134 file in the master development repository.
Devices supported by the kernel running on your system are listed in your local <path_to_your_kernel_sources>/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134. If you don't find your device listed here, but support for it is cited in the up-to-date sources (see above), then you will need to either upgrade to a more recent kernel that has already absorbed support for the device or, more simply, just get the latest V4L-DVB drivers. You can install the V4L-DVB modules on top of your existing kernel (see: detailed instructions), however, note that support for some devices may also require use of a newer kernel.
It may be a clone of a listed card ... card= entries may work for several similar cards.
Full card names can be cross-referenced from drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134-cards.c.
Before buying a new TV card, it's always worth checking its support status on V4L documentation. However, be advised that, since some producers label with the same product name boards that, inside, are actually different, there is always some risk of buying an un- (or non-completely) supported card even if it appears to be. Spending some more time searching newsgroups and mailing lists for complaints is recommended.
Make sure you post the findings of your investigations here and on the video4linux mailing list (video4linux-list@redhat.com) so that saa7134-cards.c can be updated with a new card= entry for your card.

A good night’s sleep is a key component of good health, but patients’ sleep history often receives little attention among clinicians. When a patient complains of sleep problems, practitioners often reflexively prescribe sleeping medications without inquiring further. When academic sleep pioneers first performed sleep studies in the 1970s, it was soon evident that sleep is multifactorial and complex. More recent studies have revealed that cyclic alternating patterns intrude into deep sleep, thereby reducing its restorative quality.
Practitioners who pose questions about sleep problems and sleep quality often find that patients will have difficulty falling and staying asleep, thus necessitating a two-pronged approach. Patients’ self-descriptions may suggest either a sleep disturbance or a systemic disease. A patient’s partner can be helpful in providing further history, such as snoring, periods of apnea, or restless legs.
Many cases of disrupted sleep lead to fatigue, irritability, and depression. Normal worries and concerns can trigger insomnia, while PTSD can cause severe night terrors and vivid dreams, leading to major disruptions in quality of life. For some, blood pressure remains difficult to control until patients start sleeping more soundly. Sleep disturbance can also cause fibromyalgia and an increase in pain in other conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosis.
Many patients fall asleep reasonably easily but then wake up a few hours later and are unable to fall back asleep. This leaves them feeling exhausted in the morning. To date, there are no prescription medications approved by the FDA to deepen sleep, though many physicians use a variety of medications “off-label” for this purpose.
The cornerstone of treatment of sleep disturbance is sleep hygiene, which includes only using the bed for sleep, avoiding caffeine or other stimulants, and not eating or drinking too late in the evening. Keeping regular bedtime hours and resisting the temptation to look at the clock (which heightens both frustration and alertness) are other components to good sleep hygiene. Alcohol can make people sleepy, but sleep is often fragmented after alcohol intake once they fall asleep. Similarly, some prescription medications can adversely affect sleep quality.
Although it’s possible to order formal sleep studies for patients, most clinicians reserve them for severe cases or suspected sleep apnea that might merit definitive treatment. Sleep studies are expensive and can be cumbersome for patients. Standard treatment is thus empirical, involving both sleep hygiene measures and pharmacologic agents. That said, many gaps in knowledge and understanding of sleep persist.
What remains beyond debate is the importance of a good night’s sleep. Clinicians should focus more on sleep quality than quantity, as more and more studies are showing that quality sleep is associated with lower rates of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and depression, and promotes longevity in general.

At the other end of the table, Sudbury look to be doomed to relegation, having lost all six matches played so far.
With four matches each to play, there's still little in it; the top four teams are separated by only 3½ points.

We often hear references to the ‘obesity epidemic’ accompanied by the recommendation that we all become more active and pay more attention to our food choices.
Unfortunately, our complex brains often hear the message but don’t follow through. So just how do we get people to become active, and to remain active.
UON Central Coast’s Dr Xanne Janse de Jonge is an academic in Exercise & Sport Science and with the assistance of PhD students she is trying to provide answers to healthier lives.
The reference to ‘obesity epidemic’ is one that is being heard around the world yet it can be safely assumed that people don’t want to be overweight and they don’t want to become ill. Yet if ‘diet and exercise’ was so easy, we’d all do it and we’d all be fit and fabulous. Obviously, there’s a significant psychological element to be dealt with.

Ayrshire College is working with in partnership with Alzheimer Scotland to deliver a series of innovative classes to people living with dementia.
Last year, Social Science students at Ayrshire College visited the Kilmarnock Dementia Resource Centre at College Wynd to chat to clients of Alzheimer Scotland. They spoke about a range of local, national and international topics in an informal setting.
Now the team at Alzheimer Scotland have arranged for college staff to deliver classes at the Centre, to a mix of Social Science students and clients at the Centre who are living with dementia. In addition, Alzheimer Scotland are delivering information sessions to the College students.
It is hoped that these classes allow the students to better understand the impact that dementia has on someone’s life, while the clients will benefit from interacting with the students and reminiscing about certain subjects.
The groups have already held sessions on World War One and pressure groups in UK politics, with the latest class focusing on how attachments are formed. The final session, to be delivered on Monday 3 December, will look at culture through the ages.
Jim Baird, Community Activity Organiser at Alzheimer Scotland, said “Our ethos here is that people living with dementia are capable of embracing so much, including lifelong learning, and it has been fantastic to see their input to these lecture topics.

Pedestrian tourists are welcomed and encouraged by all of this area's boutique enterprises to come in off of the beach to explore their grounds. These business's owners want the tourists to stop in and browse around, dine & drink, visit their gift shops and / or just chat with other tourists and the colorful locals that are there. They all feel that this is a very good form of public relations and advertising for them because they know that some of these visiting tourists will come back to stay at their places in the future or they might tell their friends good things about them.
There are also many colorful micro-businesses all along this section of the beach where tourists can buy inexpensive food & drink, unique arts, crafts & souvenirs and / or travel gifts and clothing. Here vendors also walk the beach peddling newspapers, fruit, patties, cotton candy and all kinds of trinkets. Meeting these beach vendors is when the tourists get to see the real Jamaica's industrious, hard working, entrepreneurial people.

Keromask mixer colours are designed to allow you to reach your ideal colour easily. This white mixer can be mixed with your camouflage cream to match it to your skin tone until your ideal colour is reached.
Powerfully concentrated, just a small pin-drop of Keromask is all that’s needed for many kinds of skin discoloration. Generally one thin smoothed layer is sufficient coverage for most situations.

A music lesson – In a novel!
I admit it, I used to be very into jazz and fusion improvisation when I was in my late teens.
I see a lot of students go through the same emotions. It’s as if they want to prove to the world that they are good musicians in every bar they play. I’ve been there, I get it.
The older I got, the less I play in every bar. I’ve come to appreciate space more than notes, I personally feel as if I’ve grown since my days of frenetic Lydian Dominant improvisations.
To me, the genre of jazz fusion has come to be represented by Mike Stern, Scott Henderson on guitar and Victor Wooten on bass.
As time moved on I became more interested in songwriting, bands and popular culture than Jazz/Fusion improvisation so admittedly I don’t really listen to or play this type of music on a daily basis anymore.
So when my old bandmate Will Rendle recommended a book by Victor Wooten I was surprised, to say the least. Will is everything but Jazz!
Victor Wooten is mainly famous for playing ‘Amazing Grace’ using only harmonics, check out the video below.
If Victor Wooten writes a book called ‘The Music Lesson’ then that should be pretty advanced stuff right?!? It is, but it’s not about arpeggio substitution, it’s all about how to look at music as a musician in general.
Written as a novel, a mysterious man called Michael appears in Victor’s house one day exclaiming he is his new teacher who can teach him nothing!
I have never ever read anything like it, and I can’t recommend it enough to you.
Buy THE Music Lesson now on Amazon, there is no way you will regret it!
As for me, I’m digging up those jazz records again, I love that stuff!

Indoor 5-a-side arenas in Swindon and Birmingham have recently undergone substantial face lifts, including state-of-the-art audio visual systems, new 3G pitches systems and facilities for a version of five-a-side football played on a smaller field and mainly indoors.
NAV were approached by long-term client The Media Group with a request to design and install a bespoke audio solution for indoor 5-A-Side Football venues in Birmingham & Swindon. Following a recent takeover, the owners of the venues decided to diversify their client-base and cater for a range of different scenarios for their football pitches & league programme, with a total of 10 pitches in Birmingham (spread across several halls) and 5 pitches in Swindon. Both existing sound systems were either broken or poorly implemented and required immediate upgrade to deliver background music and create the right ambience for the new client base. In addition, the system needed to be capable of functioning as a high-level foreground music system for large football tournaments and roller-derby’s, reproducing high-quality music & speech with excellent coverage for all areas.
In addition, the owners wanted ‘impact’ as customers walked into the venue and requested that the main entrance be placed on a separate audio zone, tying in with a newly installed projector and digital signage system, along with a further independent zone for the Bar area, where JBL Control 28-1 8” speakers have been deployed. The design allows for any of four sources to be routed to any zone desired and be controlled from a central location by non-technical staff; therefore it needed to be as simple to use as possible.
JBL’s purpose-designed AE Series was recommended — principally the AC2212/00 Compact 2-Way speaker, with 100° x 100° coverage, matched with JBL AC118S subs. Its specifications met the audio requirements, while providing the width of coverage necessary to cover much of the floor area — including three 3G pitches and four other pitches for the alternative five-a-side game over seven zones in Birmingham and four zones to include the arena, entrance and bar, in Swindon, where JBL AC599 speakers were also recommended to cover the four far pitches.
NAV used HARMAN’s latest HiQnet Audio Architect software for all required programming (including the Crown Amplifiers) making integration between devices seamless. Using Audio Architect, design of the control panel was simple and linked very easily to the BLU-100.

Ramen is so popular around the world. Here are some interesting Ramen stories I want to share with you.
Do you have any idea which prefecture has the greatest number of Ramen restaurant? Do you think it’s Tokyo?
According to research done in 2013, Yamagata Prefecture has the greatest number of Ramen restaurants in Japan. To be precise, this number is based on per 100,000 people.
There are 817 Ramen restaurants in Yamagata Prefecture and that makes 70.98 Ramen restaurants per 100,000 people.
While Tokyo has over 3,000 Ramen restaurants, the ratio of the number of Ramen restaurants and the population in Tokyo is less than Yamagata Prefecture (28.69 per 100,000 people).
According to this statistic, Tochigi Prefecture ranks as 2nd, while Niigata Prefecture ranks as 3rd.
Worst three are Nara, Hyogo and Osaka with 13.49 per 100,000 people.
According to Michael Gibson-Light, ramen is most popular item among U.S. prisoners. He spent a year to conduct his research and interviewed about 60 prisoners to find out their opinions about food in prison.
His research reveals that U.S prisoners are not satisfied with quality and quantity of food in the prison.
They would exchange cigarettes, clothes or vegetables for instant ramen.
Gibson-Light concludes that Ramen noodle is valuable and very popular item among U.S. prisoners.
Others also read this post Who Invented Cup Noodle?
There was not much Ramen restaurants in Vancouver when I came first time. You had to search and go to a specific area in downtown to eat Ramen.
Now it’s easier to find because Ramen has become popular among Canadians.
I don’t go too often but I always see Canadians enjoying the authentic ramen in a restaurant.
You might have to wait to be seated for a while during winter. Those Ramen fans don’t mind to wait even if it’s cold. They love to eat Ramen.
It’s said that over 100 billion Ramen is eaten around the world every year. 100 billion! I cannot imagine how many it is.
Brazilians eat Ramen a lot and MIOJO (明星) is the most famous Ramen in Brazil.
Some Brazilians don’t use soup powder but they make their own soup.
This Japanese owner wanted to make special soup and it took 8 years for him to master the soup. 8 years! A lot of Chinese are impressed. So am I!
His Ramen is more expensive than other restaurants in China because he cooks Ramen soup for over 14 hours.
Chinese customers can choose kinds of soup, noodle, amount of oil and toppings, thus this Ramen restaurant is very popular in China.
Wherever you go, you will probably find instant ramen. If Ramen is popular in a country or certain areas, you would be able to enjoy fresh Ramen in a restaurant.
Japanese Ramen is such attractive food and people cannot stop trying new Ramen restaurants.

European Union leaders agreed at a summit on Friday to extend punishing economic sanctions against Russia over the conflict in Ukraine for a further six months, the bloc said, according to TASS.
“EU leaders agreed to extend economic sanctions against Russia for 6 months,” the European Council, which groups the 28 leaders of the bloc, said after a summit in Brussels. The sanctions target whole sectors of the Russian economy including its valuable oil businesses.
According to officials, the leaders made the decision after a “very short discussion” on Ukraine, Russia and the Minsk peace process. The EU-brokered Minsk peace agreement, backed by Moscow and Kiev, was first reached in late 2014 and then re-worked in early 2015 but is violated regularly.
The EU first imposed the sanctions in July 2014 after Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in July 2014 was shot down over Ukraine, killing 298 people, an attack blamed by the EU on pro-Russian rebels. An investigation later concluded the Russians are indeed behind the attack.
In a summit statement, the EU leaders also reiterated their “full support” for a UN resolution on MH17 and called on Russia to “accept its responsibility and fully cooperate with all efforts to establish truth, justice and accountability”.
The war in eastern Ukraine between government forces and rebels backed by Moscow has claimed more than 10,000 lives and rumbles on despite a series of periodic truce deals. The EU also has sanctions in force against Russia over its 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine.
Western sanctions against Russia are likely to come into focus when U.S. President Donald Trump holds a historic summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on July 16.

This is an independent insurance agency. That means that they can sell you health, life, auto or other insurance from multiple providers. This differs from an agent who works, for example, for State Farm and can only sell you their products.
The benefit to working with an independent agency is that they are able to give you several different quotes, and look for rates and coverage that will best suit your needs. Of course, you can also obtain multiple quotes online. You need to decide if you would rather gather that information yourself, or have someone assist you in the process.
The health insurance is offered through UniCare Life and Health which is an affiliate of the WellPoint, Inc.
Under the UniCare health insurance umbrella, Medicare participants have what’s called a Security Choice option. This is a private fee for service plan.
Another program Assurance offers health insurance through is called Sound. The Sound plan is currently offered to residents in Texas and Illinois. This program offers 3 different levels of coverage which allow participants to choose the deductibles and premiums that suit them the best.
Gravity Bender- This is a higher deductible which offers low monthly premiums. The deductible (the amount you pay before your insurer kicks in) is $5,000 a year. The monthly premiums run between $88-133 per month.
Curb Jumper- This is the middle of the road option where you can lower your deductible to $3,000 per year and pay $102-147 per month.
Cruiser- Here’s your chance to lower that deductible if you’re willing to pay a bit more every month. $1,500 is your deductible and your monthly payments will run between $135 and $191 each month.
You have to love a site that actually breaks down the costs for you like this. Just remember, you don’t want to take the higher deductible if you won’t have the ability to pay for it in an emergency!
According to the Sound site, the average cost for a one day stay in the hospital in 2005 was $5,858! Can you afford that $5,000 deductible? What if you need to be airlifted to the hospital? That average cost in the same year was $6,919!
Don’t let those numbers scare you. Use them to evaluate your need for lower monthly payments or a lower deductible. Where does your priority lie? You could save up to $696 in monthly payments just by going with the higher deductible. However, you will have to be able to cover that $5,000.
It’s easy to get quotes from multiple health insurance companies without ever leaving home. Simply go to the free quote tool on this page and start comparing the Assurance Insurance Agency with other providers today!

Today I’m offering a list a books that have radically changed my life. I believe in constant learning and improvement . I believe that Leaders are Readers and readers can be better leaders so long as they don’t over analyze and become paralyzed be decision. A wealth of knowledge exists, lessons written by others that have traveled down certain paths and sent information back about what they have learned. Man cannot exist on bread alone…he needs ideas to thrive. So I hope you will find some ideas in the following titles. All these are available on Amazon.com. I have broken down the books into categories, although I strongly suggest you read them all because every aspect of life affects every other.
Happy reading to you. I wish you the best.

Replacement of Dublin St bridge at end of life.

Kowhia Park relocation is not an opinion.
