Apple has Apple Stores, Samsung has... this!

You know those heady dreams of a new Samsung product launch today? Well consider them punctured. There's no new gadget to announce, but instead a teaming-up with UK retailer Phones 4u, offering a dedicated space for Samsung to dip its toes into retail waters. Located on London's Oxford Street -- and just around the corner from an Apple Store -- the shop-within-a-shop displays all of the Korean makers' big hitters, with several tables housing Galaxy Tab 10.1s, Galaxy Notes and Galaxy S IIs. The rest of that expansive galactic family dot the periphery of the room, but then you'd probably come here primarily to test-drive the aforementioned flagships. The tables themselves are dressed down; no pricing or carrier information clogging up the surfaces, just the devices and some Galaxy branding. Samsung's claimed the whole top floor and the shop is already training up dedicated Samsung staff to answer pressing questions like ~~what's the point of the Galaxy Ace Plus~~ whether that phone has Gorilla glass and when we can expect to see a Galaxy S III in the flesh.

Home Improvement | Recovering After a Fire

A house fire can be one of the most traumatic events in a person?s life. After a fire, we are reminded of what?s most important in life ? your family. It?s imperative to fire proof your home and practice safe habits to prevent house fires, but house fires can be accidental and happen to even the most organized people.

A house fire results in essential home improvements that can be costly depending on the extent of the damage. You want to make sure you pick a general contractor who has a good working relationship with your insurance company to get the most out of your repairs.

Whether you have a small self-contained fire or one that produces more widespread damage, recovering after a fire can be difficult. You want to recover anything you can, but often times you will need to replace belongings and appliances from smoke damage.

If your home can be salvaged after a fire, you want a professional who specializes in fire restoration. It?s best to call a general contractor for fire restoration as soon as possible. The quicker they are contacted, the better chance they have of preventing further damage to your property. They can repair the exterior and interior of your home, which is really important when it comes to your home and your family?s well-being.

Even if you just have a smaller self-contained fire, smoke and soot can travel through air ducks affecting other rooms. One of the most common house fire locations is in the kitchen. A grease fire on the stove or in the oven can produce a lot of damage. It is essential that you react quickly to the damage and begin cleaning immediately. A general contractor will know how to clean up after a grease fire and salvage items.

Even if you call a general contractor with the tools and experience to deal with the fire damage right away, it may still be difficult to restore everything. Walls, countertops, and cabinets will need to be wiped down thoroughly to remove soot. Damage from soot is not easy to clean, but a general contractor will have the products and tools to do the job and possible save you replacement costs.

Open food items or anything in cardboard will need to be discarded, as the toxins from the smoke will cause them to spoil. Canned food items are probably the only food item you will be able to keep. Although the food inside the fridge is not salvageable, the fridge itself often is. After cleaning the outside surface of the fridge, you will want to be sure to replace the seal, filters, and fans to prevent trapped soot from penetrating into the fridge and spoiling future food.

For tips on fire proofing your home and preventing the likelihood of a fire, see this previous My Home Improvement blog.

Why are we made of matter? Supercomputing the difference between matter and antimatter

ScienceDaily (Mar. 29, 2012) ? An international collaboration of scientists has reported a landmark calculation of the decay process of a kaon into two pions, using breakthrough techniques on some of the world's fastest supercomputers. This is the same subatomic particle decay explored in a 1964 Nobel Prize-winning experiment performed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), which revealed the first experimental evidence of charge-parity (CP) violation -- a lack of symmetry between particles and their corresponding antiparticles that may hold the answer to the question "Why are we made of matter and not antimatter?"

The new research -- reported online in Physical Review Letters March 30, 2012 -- helps nail down the exact process of kaon decay, and is also inspiring the development of a new generation of supercomputers that will allow the next step in this research.

"The present calculation is a major step forward in a new kind of stringent checking of the Standard Model of particle physics -- the theory that describes the fundamental particles of matter and their interactions -- and how it relates to the problem of matter/antimatter asymmetry, one of the most profound questions in science today," said Taku Izubuchi of the RIKEN BNL Research Center and BNL, one of the members of the research team publishing the new findings. "When the universe began, did it start with more particles than antiparticles, or did it begin in a symmetrical way, with equal numbers of particles and antiparticles that, through CP violation or a similar mechanism, ended up with more matter than antimatter?"

Either way, the universe today is composed almost exclusively of matter with virtually no antimatter to be found.

Scientists seeking to understand this asymmetry frequently look for subtle violations in predictions of processes described by the Standard Model. One property of these processes, CP symmetry, can be explored by comparing two particle decays -- the decay of a particle observed directly and the decay of its anti-particle, viewed in mirror reflection. "C" refers to the exchange of a particle and its antiparticle (which is exactly the same but with opposite charge). "P" specifies the mirror reflection of this decay. But as the Nobel Prize-winning experiments showed, the two decays are not always symmetrical: In some cases you end up with extra particles (matter) and CP symmetry is "violated."

Exploring the precise details of the kaon decay process could help elucidate how and why this happens.

Supercomputing the decay process

The new calculation of one aspect of this decay, which required creating unique new computer techniques to use on some of the world's fastest supercomputers, was carried out by physicists from Brookhaven National Laboratory, Columbia University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Edinburgh, the Max-Planck-Institut f?r Physik, the RIKEN BNL Research Center (RBRC), the University of Southampton, and Washington University. The calculation builds upon extensive theoretical studies done since the first 1964 experiment and much more recent experiments done at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory, and at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

The unprecedented accuracy of the measured experimental values -- which incorporate distances as minute as one thousandth of a femtometer (one femtometer is 1/1,000,000,000,000,000th of a meter, the size of the nucleus of a hydrogen atom) -- allowed the collaboration to follow the process in extreme detail: the decay of individual quarks (the subatomic components of many Standard Model particles) and the flitting in and out of existence of other subatomic particles. Viewing the picture from farther away -- a few tenths of a femtometer -- this basic process is obscured by a sea of quark-antiquark pairs and a cloud of the gluons that hold them together. At this distance, the gluons begin to bind the quarks into the observed particles. The last part of the problem is to show the behavior of the quarks as they orbit each other, moving at nearly the speed of light through a swarm formed from gluons and further pairs of quarks and antiquarks, and at last forming the pions of the decay under study.

To "translate" the mathematics needed to describe these interactions into a computational problem required the creation of powerful numerical methods and advances in technology that made possible the present generation of massively parallel supercomputers with peak computational speeds of hundreds of teraflops. (A teraflop computer can perform one million million operations per second).

The actual kaon decay described by the calculation spans distance scales of nearly 18 orders of magnitude, from the shortest distances of one thousandth of a femtometer -- far below the size of an atom, within which one type of quark decays into another -- to the everyday scale of meters over which the decay is observed in the lab. This range is similar to a comparison of the size of a single bacterium and the size of our entire solar system.

The collaboration carried out the computation using the methods of lattice quantum chromodyamics (QCD -- the theory that describes fundamental quark-gluon interactions), in which the decay is "imagined" as taking place within a lattice or grid of space-time points that can be entered into a computer. Then, the quantum fluctuations of the decay are calculated by a statistical method called the "Monte Carlo" method, which provides the most likely of the fluctuations as a result. The calculation required 54 million processor hours on the IBM BlueGene/P supercomputer installed at the Argonne Leadership Class Facility (ALCF) at Argonne National Laboratory. Earlier calculations were also done on Brookhaven's QCDOC (for QCD on a chip) supercomputer, a prototype for IBM's BlueGene series.

This calculation, when compared with predictions from the Standard Model, allows the scientists to determine another remaining unknown quantity important to understanding kaon decay and its relation to CP violation. A direct calculation of this remaining unknown quantity and a higher precision recalculation of the present result will be the focus of future research, requiring even more computing power.

"Fortunately," says co-author Peter Boyle of the University of Edinburgh, "the next generation of IBM supercomputers is being installed over the next few months in many research centers around the world, including the ALCF, the University of Edinburgh, the KEK laboratory in Japan, Brookhaven Lab, and the RBRC."

These new IBM BlueGene/Q machines are expected to have 10 to 20 times the performance of the current machines, Boyle explained. "With this dramatic boost in computing power we can get a more accurate version of the present calculation, and other important details will come within reach," he said. "This is a nice synergy between science and the computer -- the science pushing computer developments and the advanced computers pushing science forward, to the benefit of the science community and also the commercial world."

The calculations were performed under the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program on the Intrepid BlueGene/P supercomputer in ALCF at Argonne National Laboratory and on the Ds Cluster at Fermi National Laboratory, computer resources of the USQCD Collaboration. Part of the analysis was performed on the Iridis Cluster at the University of Southampton and the DiRAC facility in the UK. The research was supported by DOE's Office of Science, the U.K's Science and Technology Facilities Council, the University of Southampton, and the RIKEN Laboratory in Japan.

AVG Launches "Do Not Track" Feature | SecurityWeek.Com

AVG Technologies, the recently gone public provider of Internet security and utility software, this week launched a feature designed to help provide customers with increased privacy during their online activities.

AVG Logo Generically called the ?Do Not Track? feature, the new option helps users gain increased privacy by being informed of what tracking activity appears to be taking place, and gives them the choice to block tracking elements directly, piece by piece.

Collecting data from users and Web browsers is common and very important to many online businesses, especially eCommerce operators and businesses supported by online advertising. Some reports have shown that online security and privacy fears have had a fairly significant negative effect on online marketing performance.

While basic tracking is not a bad thing by nature, some sites share user data with third parties, a practice that has sparked concern by consumers and policy makers. For example, some forms of tracking allow advertisers to follow users around the Internet and deliver targeted advertising across multiple websites in ways consumers are unaware. Take, for example, the recent Google privacy debacle when the search giant was circumventing Apple?s privacy settings in Safari Web browsers.

So how does AVG Do Not Track work?

The company explains how the feature works as follows:

When browsing to a website you will notice an icon in your browser that shows how many websites and advertisers are collecting data about your activity. These are categorized under three types.

? Ad Networks

? Social Buttons

? Web Analytics

For each of the identified websites that collect data about the user, AVG Do Not Track provides additional information, such as:

? Data collection is anonymous

? Data collected contains personal identifiable information

? How the collected data is retained

? If the collected data is shared

The identification of these criteria is based on the published privacy policy of the websites concerned, which users frequently haven?t read in detail. A link to the privacy policy and opt-out option (if available) is also provided.

In March 2012, the Obama administration unveiled a consumer-privacy strategy aimed at helping protect users online. The core of the strategy is a "privacy bill of rights? designed to create a standard on how consumers can expect their data to be handled while using various online services.

?The reason AVG launched ?Do Not Track? is that we believe consumers have a right to worry-free protection and control over their own online privacy,? said Siobhan MacDermott, AVG?s Chief Policy Officer.

Additionally, a passive ?Do Not Track? was introduced by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that relies on users? voluntary adherence to this feature notification. This W3C Service Pack adds passive Do Not Track and is on by default.

Because compliance is voluntary, AVG says, it doesn?t give the consumer real control over data collection.

?We believe all Internet users are entitled to know how their online data is collected and used---and they should have possible solutions available,? said JR Smith, CEO of AVG Technologies.

The Do Not Track feature is available in AVG?s free and premium (paid) AVG 2012 product suites.

Maintaining Gardening Tools Securely in a Storage Room

If you are interested in farming or gardening, then it is not strange that you use a large selection of tools for taking care of plants or crops. However, having a handful of tools can be daunting to maintain and store. In this sense, getting a tool shed behind your house is a good option to keep such equipment. People who should not store their tools at their home's basement or garage can utilize sheds as an alternative.

A great shed, which can function as a workspace and a storage room, is important for any dedicated farmer or gardener like you since this allows you to store tools securely. Aside from storing, you can use sheds as another workplace if the weather is undesirable. Storage sheds not only maintain tools in great condition, but they also promote efficiency.

Sheds located in homes are smaller as opposed to farm sheds or constructions sheds, which can size up to several thousand square feet. Styles of sheds differ from simple to complex, and these structures can be made of brick, wood, metal, or plastic. Sheds also come in different shapes. Sheds purchased in home depots typically measure by 10x16, 8x10, or 6x8 feet and are built to keep small- or medium-sized tools.

Excellent sheds also have several attributes that enable it to withstand exterior elements. These sheds have strong floors and roofs, ample space, and several racks or shelves to support small equipment. Sheds constructed from metal or wood can also have windows or porches. Though these sheds are the least expensive, they also tend to be the least attractive. Luckily, there are firms that provide custom-built sheds in Maryland for homeowners who like their sheds to be both functional and attractive.

Obviously, a storage shed gives you a safe and sound room for all your materials. Rather than contributing disorder and frustration to your basement or garage, equipment can be stored in the shed where they can be sorted. Besides the easily available sheds for sale in Maryland shed builders can also design a shed designed for your needs and wants.

For instance, you can have your shed developed sufficient enough to store a mowing lawn or tractor. You can also choose among sheds in MD that are made for particular uses, such as storing bicycles and gardening equipment. To know more about various kinds of sheds and their purposes, read on EZineArticles.com.

Gay and Lesbian Friendly Yellow Pages Directory ? GayFriendlyBiz ...

Can a gay matchmaker from Miami turn into a visionary? Paul Angelo MHA, MBA offers a compelling vision for financial, health and relationship success for gay men in the U.S. and world-wide. The Gay Leadership Project is the beginning of something big ? says Angelo.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) March 29, 2012

Paul Angelo, the gay matchmaker and gay life coach offers a new vision for gay men. In 5 years, Angelo sees gay men to be role models for superb health, financial independence and loving relationships.

The Problem

The absence of leadership and role models in the gay community leads to lack of identity, purpose and direction for gay men. There is no compelling vision for the future that serves as the motivation to change the old mindsets about sexuality that permeate the gay lifestyle. Gay men need a new vision that catapults the gay community into a more fulfilling and meaningful future.

The evidence for the problem is easily seen in gay media channels and by listening to the opinions of heterosexuals about gay men. A person can come to a Pride Parade and witness the demonstration of sexual acts, eroticism and sexual innuendo instead of being presented with new ideas and inspiration to live a meaningful and purposeful life.

?In many metropolitan areas, 1 out of 3 gay men are HIV +, 95% of all relationships don?t last, and gay men spend a disproportionate amount of time searching for sexual experiences, instead of learning how to become financially independent, have stable relationships and learn how to relate to one another better? says Angelo.

It is important to act now because sex-centered lifestyle doesn?t work any longer. Love, happiness, good health and financial independence require more than sexual compatibility. In addition, the world is changing faster than ever and the economic and social hardship will only get worse in the coming years. By acting now, gay men can get a head start in creating the ultimate lifestyle and in enjoying the benefits of a loving partner, successful career and a healthy lifestyle.

The Solution

The solution is the Gay Leadership Project where gay men learn about gay sexuality, gay health issues, business concepts and gay relationships. Specifically, gay men will learn how to incorporate sexuality into daily life, how to lose weight and stay fit, how to start and run a business and how to create a loving relationship.

Gay Leadership Project serves as a coaching platform for meeting and interacting with other gay men who are interested in personal development, financial independence, fulfilling careers and loving relationships.

The Gay Leadership Project is a partnership between gay life coaches, therapists, psychologists, personal trainers and gay business leaders to bring the latest research and innovation in gay living to all participants.

Call To Action

To participate in the Gay Leadership Program or to join the leadership team, please visit the website at http://www.GayLeadership.org.

Why do you get Acid Reflux? | Articles Shore

Acid reflux or heartburn affects millions of Americans every month. It is a billion dollar pharmaceutical industry with over-the-counter medication and prescriptions for individuals with more severe acid reflux problems. There are several acid reflux causes and can be something as simple as your diet to something more serious like a medical condition.

There are a variety of ways to relieve your acid reflux, but you need to first understand what the acid reflux causes are. And it starts with acid in your stomach and your esophagus. The feeling that we get known, as heartburn, is caused by stomach acid flowing back into the esophagus.

In simple terms, acid reflux is caused when acid is regurgitated back up into the esophagus because a small valve or muscle at the juncture of the esophagus and stomach, called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), did not close after food was passed into the stomach. The reasons why this happens vary. It may be an anatomical defect or just be a weak LES.

So, when you control the acid in your stomach you controlled your heartburn. More than 60 million Americans suffer from acid reflux and almost 75% of those suffering respond to medication or antacids. That leaves 25% who must either live with it or consider acid reflux surgery. The most popular surgical procedure is called the Nissen Fundoplication.

If you are considering a surgical option for acid reflux relief, then you?ll first want to make sure that you have tried to find a solution through less invasive options. You should take steps to find out the actual acid reflux causes that affect you and possible actions that you may need to take. The first step that a doctor is going to suggest to you is a dietary and lifestyle solution.

Bad eating habits and eating too large of meals are a couple of the more common acid reflux causes. When eating a large meal it causes the stomach to become distended and forces acid from the stomach back through the esophagus. Other bad eating habits include eating fatty or overly spicy foods and have been known to cause acid reflux in some individuals.

Science so far has not found a reason on why the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) doesn?t work right, and allows stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus. Some think that it?s due to pressure building up in the stomach so much that the lower esophageal sphincter cannot hold it back. Of course, there are other acid reflux causes as to.

Pregnancy is a very common acid reflux cause; although this is generally true during the third trimester. This acid reflux cause is due to the baby getting bigger and having more of the stomach contents pushed up into the esophagus. Antacids and other over the counter medication will not help with this acid reflux cause and it is found to be helpful if you eat smaller meals and a lot more of them throughout the day. The good news is that after the baby is born the acid reflux will go away and you will not be bothered by it anymore.

Everyone has a different body type and reacts to things differently. What may cause your acid reflux may not be the same reason it causes excessive stomach acid in others. Medication and antacids have found to be helpful in controlling acid production in most individuals; however, some may seek other treatments. For the most part antacids will help to control acid production. Not eating certain types of food and/or cutting back on how much you eat should help eliminate or reduce acid reflux. You should take small steps and determine your cause of excessive stomach acid to help win your battle with acid reflux.

The specific type of exercise you do is really your choice, but there are some fundamental principles that apply to any type of workout, and in this article we?ll be focusing on a few of these.

Another thing you should consider is whether you should do your exercising at the gym or at home. If you are like most people, this is a common question that you have probably voiced aloud. If you do choose the gym, or to work out at home, understand there are positive and negative aspects to either location.

Your choice should be made based on your own preferences and weaknesses.

Working out at a gym is sometimes a great idea because the other people motivate you to continue. The place that you ultimately choose to exercise should motivate you to work out everyday.

Starting your workout program involves many variables that must be taken into consideration. To succeed in your fitness goals, your workout should be something that you like to do, and also something that is challenging.

Apple and Foxconn agree to drastically improve working conditions following Fair Labor Association report

The Fair Labor Association has released its findings from the lengthy investigation of working conditions at Foxconn's Chinese plants where Apple products are made. While the PR and report largely avoid over the top rhetoric and direct condemnations of the companies, they hardly paint a rosy picture. The watchdog found that in the last year all three factories violated not just FLA code for hours worked, but Chinese legal limits of 36 hours of overtime per month. During peak periods, employees worked more than 60 hours a week on average and many more than seven days in a row. But, to its credit, the group has extracted an agreement out of both Apple and Foxconn to drastically improve conditions at the factories.

Foxconn has agreed to meet FLA and Chinese legal codes by July of 2013, including cutting the number of monthly overtime hours from 80 to 36. To compensate for the lost work hours the manufacturer will boost wages and plans to hire thousands of new workers to help maintain current production levels. A concerted effort is also planned to improve the safety and health conditions at the plants and their accompanying dormitories. The moves may be felt here in the US as small increases in the cost of electronic goods, but the price will be easy to swallow considering the weight it'll help lift off our conscience. Hit up the source link to read the full report for yourself and check out the PR after the break.
