I thought this beer went down smooth with no aftertaste. Too watery to be considered a great brown ale, but pleasant to drink

tightslice (1313) - Redwood City, California, USA - JUL 21, 2017
Bottle at Facebook in Menlo Park, CA. Aroma is caramel, banana candy, slight molasses. Taste is thin, clean, light malty syrups. Aroma is interesting but the flavor is lacking.

jamiemac87 (173) - Durham, ENGLAND - JUL 16, 2017
Pours dark amber with a small head that recedes. Malt and some skunkiness on the nose. Taste is malt and grain with an element that’s difficult to define but is a definite characteristic of this beer. It’s watery but still enjoyable. This is not a perfect beer, but it’s a legendary beer. Canny.

batch 12121015, bb Aug 2013

Hazy deep blond color with generous head. Light aroma, light coriander, malt, lemon. Good body strength; the mouthfeel is quite round, due to a moderate sweetness; the flavor thou is very simple, with light candy fruitiness and light vegetables (wrong temperature for fermentation/maturation?).

It’s forgettable like, for example, the many American attempts at Belgian Ales.

omhper (25160) - Tyresö, SWEDEN - DEC 27, 2011
Bottled, from the brewpub. Hazy golden, minimal head. Appley nose. Sweetish with too much green apples, some coriander. Above medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Mashed apples in a finish with low bitterness.

Bottle from Kris Wines, London, shared with Slothez on thanksgiving. Murky looking orange pour with minimal head that faded to nowt. Aroma was yeast, orchard fruit and malts. Flavour was slightly sour with yeast and fruit notes. Tolerable, if a little strange. The bottle and label look great......

Healthy Family Fitness Activity Ideas

While we're all leading busy lives, it can be hard to fit in family time, let alone time to exercise. Instead of trying to juggle the two, why not merge them together? We've put together some family fitness activities that will help you to bond as well as keeping everyone fit and healthy! Try out some of these healthy family fitness activities.

An image of Healthy Family Fitness Activity Ideas

So how can you fit in time for fitness and time for the family when you have so little time on your hands? The answer is to combine the two: healthy family activities. With a little planning and organization, you can enjoy time with your family and maintain yours and your family’s health and fitness at the same time. Think this is easier said than done? Then check out our top 10 healthy family activities, which is full of fun family fitness ideas, including sporting activities and non-sporting healthy alternatives.

Healthy family fitness activities: Sporting activities for the family

Getting the family involved in sport is a guaranteed way of improving everyone’s fitness – so why not try out some of the following sport-orientated family fitness suggestions?

  • Healthy family fitness activity 1: Swimming with the family. Swimming is always a sure-fire hit with the kids. In fact the difficulty is persuading them to get out of the pool. Swimming is an excellent family activity because it’s great fun and everyone can participate at their own level. Also, because it is a weight-supported exercise, it is ideal if impact activities are unsuitable for you or you have an injury. An hour swimming can burn up to 300 calories as well as build your upper-body strength and it also gives your heart, lungs and all the major muscle groups in your body a good workout.

  • Healthy family fitness activity 2: Family cycling. Increasingly there are more and more safe cycling routes available with areas that are traffic-free for family-friendly cycling. Even if your children are too young to control a bike on their own, you can buy child seats or attachments that link their bike to yours so that you can all enjoy a session together. The final bonus is that cycling is a fun way to shift the pounds because it burns between 200 and 800 calories per hour! Off-road cycling is the best because you recruit a greater range of muscles to cope with the challenge of the uneven terrain.

  • Healthy family fitness activity 3: Orienteering with the family. Take a compass, a map, and a wide variety of courses that cater for every level of fitness and age group, and you have all the ingredients for a great family activity. You can walk, jog or run an orienteering course, which will help to maintain your fitness and the sport is very family-friendly as it has different events designed for children, teenagers and adults. For an introduction to the sport, try an orienteering courses where children particularly enjoy the ‘hide and seek’ element.

  • Healthy family fitness activity 4: Indoor games for the family. Badminton, ten-pin bowling and table-tennis (to name just three) are all activities that everyone in the family can have a go at – and booking an hour or two at your local sports center won’t break the bank either. As the children get older, you could organize mini tournaments and head-to-heads – where the competition is certain to provide you with a quality workout!

  • Healthy family fitness activity 5: Family activity holidays. Nowadays, there is a growing trend for the traditional beach holiday to be supplemented by something a little more dynamic and adventurous that involves sport and/or other activities. The opportunity to experience a new sport without compromising family time is ideal –and with the wide range of sports now on offer, there will be something for everyone. Water sports, trekking or even daily excursions are more beneficial and healthy than sun-lounger-type breaks – plus they are more enjoyable family activities.

Healthy family fitness activities: Non-sporting healthy alternatives for the family

Of course, not everyone or every family member wants to pick up a racket, climb on a bike or get sporty – but that doesn't mean that you can't still enjoy healthy family activities! Try some of the non-sporty suggestions below to give a healthy focus for all the family.

  • Healthy family fitness activity 1: Walking with the family. For easy family fitness, walking is top of the charts. Walking is the simplest of healthy activities, costs nothing and can be enjoyed almost anywhere. A family walk over a couple of hours will tire out the children and bring a multitude of health benefits including exercising the cardiovascular system, strengthening and toning the legs and burning approximately 100 calories per hour. To add further interest for the kids, devise a treasure hunt or award points for different flora and fauna that they see.

  • Healthy family fitness activity 2: Family mealtimes. For many families, sit-down meals together have become a thing of the past, with each family member doing their own thing and then bolting down a convenience meal if time allows. However, the simple act of just sitting down together and enjoying a proper, healthy meal is an excellent family-friendly activity. Making time for a family meal is likely to result in better quality nutrition, as the food is more likely to be home-cooked, and can provide you with a good opportunity to relax and de-stress.

  • Healthy family fitness activity 3: Family outdoor activities. Whether it’s a playing in the garden, a game of ‘tag’ in the local park or some fun on the swings and slides, simple outdoor games and activities are great for quality family time and exercise. The children will love it and you’ll also benefit from the getting your heart rate a little higher. Make sure all the family members can get involved so that everyone has the chance to exercise.

  • Healthy family fitness activity 4: Family day trips. Any event that involves everyone getting up and about will contribute to the family’s health and fitness. Visiting the zoo, going to a sporting event or exploring a theme park is something that can be enjoyed by all the family and will also involve expending plenty of calories en route!

Healthy family fitness activities: Just get up and go

It doesn’t have to be hell to be healthy for you or your family and using some smart combinations of activities such as the ones above means that you’ll neither neglect your family nor your fitness. Of course everyone is busy and yes, everyone wants a piece of you, but there aren’t many more important things than maintaining your health and fitness and spending some time with your family, so go and do it!

What are the benefits of cord blood banking?

Quick Answer

Some patients, especially children and smaller adults, with certain diseases including leukemia, lymphoma and sickle cell anemia, can be injected with the cells found in cord blood to help boost their body's production of new, healthy cells, according to WebMD. The cells found in cord blood can also help people recover from certain cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy or radiation.

Continue Reading

Full Answer

Umbilical cord blood is rich in hematopoietic progenitor stem cells, which are cells that can reproduce themselves and turn into almost any type of cell, explains WebMD. Cord blood banking is a procedure that involves taking blood from a neonate's umbilical cord at birth and storing it for a fee in a blood bank. Parents who decide to bank their neonate's cord blood usually do so because of its potential to treat their child if he ever becomes ill with certain diseases.

While cord blood contains similar stems cells as those found in bone marrow, extracting these cells from the cord blood has several potential advantages, states WebMD. First, taking cord blood is easy and painless, while extracting bone marrow is a complicated process. In addition, the body may be less likely to reject cord blood cells than cells found in adult bone marrow.

What are the causes of waist pain during pregnancy?

Quick Answer

A common cause of waist pain in pregnancy is round ligament pain caused by changes in hormones, according to Mayo Clinic. Waist pain can also be the result of general weight gain, which places a strain on the lower back, and stress, as stated by WebMD.

Continue Reading

Full Answer

Though waist and back pain may increase throughout a pregnancy, it usually improves after giving birth. To relieve pain, an individual should continue her exercise routine to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility, as stated by WebMD. Applying heat and cold to sore muscles, improving posture, acupuncture treatments and chiropractic manipulation have also been shown to decrease pain. If back pain is related to stress, counseling may also help relieve it. Having a soak in a tub or getting into a swimming pool to relieve pregnancy-related pain are other ways to reduce pain symptoms, suggests Mayo Clinic.

What are the options for wrist surgery for carpel tunnel syndrome?

Quick Answer

Standard surgical treatment options for carpal tunnel syndrome include open carpal tunnel release surgery and endoscopic carpal runnel release surgery, according to WebMD. In both procedures, surgeons cut the transverse carpal ligament to alleviate pressure to the median nerve of the wrist.

Continue Reading

Full Answer

Open carpal tunnel release surgery has a longer recovery time and leaves behind a larger scar, as WebMD reports. Endoscopic carpal tunnel release surgery has a significantly shorter recovery time and creates smaller scars that tend to heal with less pain. However, one downside to endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery is that the procedure carries a slightly higher risk of complications.

What is the prognosis for someone with Stage IV pancreatic cancer?

Unfortunately, the prognosis of a Stage IV pancreatic patient is bleak, with only a 1 percent survival rate five years after diagnosis, according to the American Cancer Society. If patients have been treated with surgery, their chances of survival may increase.

Full Answer

For patients with Stage IV pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, the survival rate was better, at 16 percent five years after diagnosis, the American Cancer Society reports. The survival rate for Stage IV cancer was the same whether the tumors were removed surgically or not. These tumors do not produce hormones, so they are difficult to detect, with most discovered after they have become large or spread outside the pancreas.

Pancreatic cancer tends to be aggressive, spreading rapidly, according to Mayo Clinic. It is rarely found in early stages, which is one of the reasons it has such a poor prognosis. Risk factors include smoking, a family history of pancreatic cancer, diabetes, pancreatitis and a family history of genetic syndromes that create a higher cancer risk. People who are obese and of African-American descent are also more at risk.

Symptoms include unexplained weight loss, depression, blood clots, jaundice and loss of appetite, Mayo Clinic reports. Patients sometimes also experience upper stomach pain that radiates to the back.

What does a stent procedure treat?

Quick Answer

Stent procedures are used to treat coronary heart disease, peripheral artery disease, renal artery stenosis, carotid artery disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm, according to MedlinePlus.

What does a stent procedure treat?
Credit: Caiaimage/Martin Barraud OJO+ Getty Images

Full Answer

Stents are tiny tubes that are implanted into a blood vessel, artery, urethra tube or other hollow structure to hold the structure open, notes MedlinePlus. Most stents are crafted from plastic mesh, metal or fabric materials. Stents used in the coronary arteries are left in the arteries permanently. For example, an intraluminal coronary artery stent is used following a balloon angioplasty procedure to keep the coronary artery from closing. It is a small metal mesh tube that is designed to be self-expanding. Some stents, such as the drug-eluting stent, are coated in special medicines that prevent the reclosing of arteries.

Some patients may need more than one stent implanted, depending on the severity and length of the blockage, notes Medtronic. The stent, when expanded, pushes built-up plaque from the artery���s wall back and restores the flow of blood. More than two million people in the United States undergo coronary stenting procedures each year.

How do you write a thank you note after your birthday?

Quick Answer

Thank you notes for birthdays address the recipient and make a specific reference to anything that she gifts to the writer. Every note should bear a unique personalization, even if the recipient only sends a card, attends the party or brings refreshments to the party rather than a present. If the writer gives his thanks in person, he isn't obligated to write a note, though writing one remains a thoughtful gesture.

How do you write a thank you note after your birthday?
Credit: Paul Burns Blend Images / Getty Images Plus Getty Images

Full Answer

About.com supplies several examples of thank you notes in the website's etiquette section. Notes, unlike full letters, only need simple salutations and closings. The formality of the thank you note depends on the writer's relationship with the recipient. Brief mentions of personal uses or anecdotes about the gift are appropriate in notes to friends or family, but something more succinct works better for acquaintances and co-workers. The writer should confirm who has given him a particular gift before writing a thank you note to that person. A list of names and the corresponding gifts works as a useful reminder if it's written as he opens each present. A handwritten note with appropriate stationery works as well as an e-mail or a Facebook message if it's heartfelt and well composed.

Pakistani Police Officers Killed In Gunfight

At least three police officers have been killed and six wounded in a gunfight with armed men holed up in a house in northwestern Pakistan.

Senior police official Mian Saeed said police were carrying out a house-to-house search early on September 2 in the village of Urmar Payan on the outskirts of Peshawar when gunmen opened fire.

The attack triggered a gunfight in which one gunman was killed. The other attackers fled the area.

Police later recovered "mortar shells and other explosive material" from the house.

Saeed said it was not yet clear if the gunmen were militants or criminals.

Peshawar suffered the worst terrorist attack in Pakistani history in December 2014, when Taliban militants killed more than 150 people -- most of them children -- at an army-run school.

In February, Taliban militants stormed a Shi’ite mosque, killing 21 people.

Pirates Pillage Powell Hall

To meet the very tight deadline for the release date set for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, composers Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer had a scant three weeks to conceive, score and record the music for the film. So as any good captain would, Badelt and Zimmer called all hands on deck. At least eight composers, nine orchestrators and three conductors were enlisted to write additional cues and cobble together the soundtrack in record time. The film, adapted from the Disneyland animatronic water ride, went on to be a massive success, grossing over $654 million worldwide and launching three sequels to date. This weekend, Richard Kaufman and the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra perform the music of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl as the film is projected behind them at Powell Hall (718 North Grand Boulevard; 314-534-1700 or www.slso.org). Performances take place at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday (December 28 through 30). Tickets cost $30 to $80.

PC Building Simulator booting up in autumn

PC Building Simulator [official site] is not a game where your hand gets caught in a CPU fan and the PC spins round and round on your fingertip as wacky physics send everything in your workspace flying. Bumping the case as you insert a hard drive will not make your graphics card explode. Trying to insert RAM the wrong way will not make it vibrate and clang until it vanishes through a wall. No, PC Building Simulator is simply a game about building PCs component by component. We’ve mentioned it earlier this year after playing a free prototype, and now it’s headed for a full commercial release in autumn. Read the rest of this entry »

The Foxer

Male Sparkuhl Bowerbirds were foxer setting long before Roman and his ilk arrived on the scene. At the start of the courtship season, these handsome electric-blue glade dwellers set about constructing elaborate woven collages with hidden themes. Objects incorporated range from the natural – feathers, flowers, seeds etc. – to the synthetic – sweet wrappers, scraps of newspaper, used condoms… Themes tend to be historical, scientific, or arts-related. Jan Hugens, a Dutch ornithologist who has been studying Amblyornis Sparkuhli for over 30 years, reckons the most successful males construct puzzles that bamboozle for at least two hours. Female Sparkuhl Bowerbirds hate to be patronised, apparently. Read the rest of this entry »

Observer coming August 15th, starring Rutger Hauer

First-person cyberpunk thrill-o-horror Observer [official site] will launch on August 15th, developers Bloober Team have announced. After trapping us in a painter’s kooky spookhouse with Layers of Fear, this time Bloober are blasting us off into the grim future where everything sucks. It stars a cyberdetective jacking into suspects’ heads, and Bloober have now confirmed he is voiced by Rutger Hauer. You know, Rutger Hauer from Ladyhawke! And Blind Fury! And Blade Runner too I guess.

Icons: Combat Arena wavedashes to autumn open beta

The Super Smash Bros. fans at Wavedash Games have finally announced their own Smashlike, Icons: Combat Arena [official site]. They’ve gabbed about it for ages but now we have a name, a little look at it in motion, and word that it’ll launch into open beta this autumn then be free-to-play. Icons is a platformer fighter in that Smash Bros. way, with pugilists leaping around — and trying to knock each other off — the fightfield. Here, have a peek in the first gameplay vid: Read the rest of this entry »

The Foxer

To the thief who stole the spaniel-shaped RSPCA collection box from the defoxing annexe lobby while Maxine was helping Helen change the wheel on her Panda.

May dogs distrust you,
Cats boycott you,
And birds button their beaks in your presence.
May mice wake you,
Ticks warm to you,
And butterflies slam shut as you approach.
May bluebottles and blowflies
fly noisy circuits over your deathbed. Read the rest of this entry »

Coming like a ghost town: Ni No Kuni 2 delayed into 2018

Fairytales teach us that hardships must be endured before we’re treated, so it’s only fitting that Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom [official site] has been delayed. The pretty-pretty fantasy RPG from Level-5, the sequel to a collaboration with revered animated moviemakers Studio Ghibli, was due on November 10th but now it’s pushed back to January 19th, 2018. Fairytales also teach that setbacks come in threes, so cross your fingers that this is the only delay.

Why the holdup? As ever, it’s because the devs want to make the game good, yeah? Read the rest of this entry »

The Foxer

Roman was in confessional mood yesterday evening at the Green Man. His tongue loosened by several pints of Old Cloudy, my chief foxer setter finally explained why he and Helen, the defoxing annexe librarian, were no longer together. It turns out there was no fling with Maxine… no ultimatum related to Roman’s house-filling collection of historically significant barbed wire. During a day trip to Stonehenge, the pair rowed irrevocably about the origins of the bluestones. Roman’s ardent belief in Welsh quarries collided head-on with Helen’s unshakeable faith in erratic glaciers. Read the rest of this entry »

Stickman RPG West of Loathing due out in August

The love Alec once held deep in his heart for lo-fi MMORPG Kingdom of Loathing may have ebbed as the years passed, but wait ‘til he finds out that its single-player western follow-up, West of Loathing [official site] is coming out some time next month. Or so say creators Asymmetric in a new trailer showing off a very quick playthrough of the prologue (they’ve compressed 23 minutes of mine-looting, snake-bashing and beer-drinking down to a 37 second timelapse). It was planned for release earlier this year, but you know videogames. Come see that trailer.

StarCraft Anthology won’t get matchmaking after all

After Blizzard made StarCraft free ahead of August’s launch of the fancied-up StarCraft Remastered [official site], they had said they planned to add Remastered’s new matchmaking and ladder to the free version too. (Yes, StarCraft had no matchmaking – oooh the olden days!) Blizzard have changed their minds. Matchmaking will not be added to the free old version after all, as it supports cross-version play with Remastered and Blizzard say they worried it’d end up being abused by griefers. That’s a bummer but hey, it is a free game. Read the rest of this entry »

Hearthstone making ‘Wild’ sets purchasable again

Older card sets retired to the ‘Wild’ format in Hearthstone [official site] will soon become purchasable again, Blizzard have announced. Wild is format where all cards from every set are allowed, the one Blizzard created in 2016 to create a rolling metagame in the ‘Standard’ format with limited sets – and to make Hearthstone friendlier to new players. Blizzard had stopped selling cards for expansions only in Wild, but that made getting into Wild a faff for newer players who wanted to get into it. That’ll change “in the coming weeks”, when they all return to sale. Read the rest of this entry »

The petty, grudge-holding NPCs of Thousand Threads

“Things go wrong” is one of the best genres of videogames. Thousand Threads [official site] is an upcoming open world game that seems to embrace that philosophy, if the developer’s attempt to create a video demonstration is anything to go by. It features colourful meadows, peaceful woodland and half a dozen angry people in hats chasing and punching each other as part of an elaborate grudge match all because Sung stole three rocks from Dorinda. For goodness sake, Sung.

The Foxer

Rumpus, the youngest of the defoxing annexe cats, is a regular Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer. Every day as dusk approaches he scrambles onto the roof of the log store to await the evening bat exodus. Every morning Maxine arrives to find the front step littered with downed Pipistrelles. We’ve tried collar bells, security lights, and stern ultimatums but our one-cat Kammhuber Line just keeps on killing. Read the rest of this entry »

Titanfall 2 adding two new maps free next week

Titanfall 2 War Games

Titanfall 2 pilots – you’re in luck. The game’s getting a free update next week (27 June) called The War Games, which adds two maps and a few new features.

If that DLC title sounds familiar then that’s because it’s named after a map from the original Titanfall, War Games, which will now be available in the sequel. It’s a simulated high-rise city where you can scamper across windows and on top of huge garages. I have fond memories of wall-running around the buildings in the first game, so I’m excited that it’s coming back.

The Foxer

Maginot Maxine is shivering like a breeze-ruffled poplar tree. She swears old Mr. Spindle, an annexe regular, arrived as usual at 0930 this morning (They exchanged greetings; he mentioned the dead peacock – roadkill? – by the front gate). The encounter raises some interesting questions as we’ve just heard that Mr. Spindle dropped down dead in his garden yesterday evening. Read the rest of this entry »

The Foxer

The field beside the defoxing annexe is a mass of aurochs-eye daisies at the moment. Much larger than the more common ox-eye daisy, the aurochs-eye is the only variety of Leucanthemum known to wink. Some say the heart attack that took the life of four-time Derby winner Blue Pasha was caused by a patch of aurochs-eyes flashing their florets at him as he was passing.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 is online world of space pirates

Oh look at that, Beyond Good and Evil 2 [official site] has been shown off at E3 (sans ampersand), featuring anthropomorphic monkeys, criminal pigs, Hindu and Buddhist temples projecting neon lights, angry space police with silly missiles, steering wheels in the shape of skulls and quite a lot more. It’s an explosive trailer and you should probably see it for yourself so get down there and SORT IT OUT.

The Foxer

Attending the funeral of a professional foxer setter is rarely straightforward. In a tradition dating back to the 1930s the location and time of the service is almost always distributed in collage form. When Jim Poskett, the Telegraph’s veteran vulpinist, was laid to rest in 2001, there were only two of his peers at the graveside. A misidentified interwar biplane and a misinterpreted photo of Joyce Grenfell meant most mourners ended up 300 miles away inadvertently paying their respects to a deceased piano tuner.

The Foxer

Looking at him today it’s hard to believe that Roman was once a wealthy man. During the boom years of the early Eighties, my Chief Foxer Setter’s collages were syndicated all over the world and made him millions. When I first met him, he lived nextdoor to Billy Ocean, drove a russet-coloured Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato, and owned more Franz Marc art than the Guggenheim and Tate put together. Things started falling apart circa ’92. First his best friend/brother-in-law/accountant disappeared with a substantial chunk of his fortune, then a business venture – Roman and some associates were in the process of converting a vast underground air base in the Balkans into the world’s first museum museum – was scuppered by the outbreak of the Yugoslav Wars.

Argentina placed into ‘default’ rating as debt deal deadline expires

Argentina placed into ‘default’ rating as debt deal deadline expires
Argentina’s credit rating was downgraded to “selective default” by Standard & Poor’s as the South American country missed Wednesday’s deadline for a grace period during ongoing negotiations with holdout debt holders.

Wednesday is the cutoff for Argentina to make good on a $539 million payment to bondholders, which was placed on hold by US judge Thomas P. Griesa’s order tying that payment to ongoing litigation by vulture funds which refused the country’s original cents-on-the-dollar debt restructuring offer and purchased the distressed debt from secondary markets.

Analysts generally do not believe that a default by Argentina will have the same consequences as in 2001.

“An Argentina default is expected to be short-lived at this point and shouldn’t have any major implication for the country,” said Mauro Roca to Bloomberg, a senior Latin America economist at Goldman Sachs in New York.

“There’s the expectation that a deal with holdouts will be worked out soon.”

The country’s Economy Minister Axel Kicillof arrived in New York this week to engage in negotiations with holdout creditors. The talks have been overseen by a mediator appointed by the US judge who placed its payment on hold.

Speaking during a press conference on Wednesday evening Kicillof told reporters that the so-called vulture funds had refused a new offer proposed by Argentina.

Kicillof further stated that upon the country's request for a stay to process the existing payment to 90%-plus of bondholders, the judge responded that only the holdout vulture funds could grant that request. The Argentinian minister said that the hedge funds did not comply to a stay.

"We will not sign anything that puts at risk the future of the Argentinian people," said Kicillof. "Argentinians can rest easy. The country will continue forward. But have no doubt that we are open to further dialogue, just as long as it is under reasonable conditions."

Argentine banks had, meanwhile, attempted to put together a proposal to purchase the debt held by the hedge funds and avert a default. Highlighting how close a deal may have been, news had broken in Buenos Aires that a deal had been reached, though ultimately several sources confirmed to Reuters that it had collapsed.

The country has been unable to access international financial markets since its massive $100 billion default in 2002, and despite its ability to deal with the so-called Paris Club of creditors, the ongoing litigation by the holdout funds still prevents the country from fully emerging to global credit markets after more than a decade.

"Unfortunately, no agreement was reached and the Republic of Argentina will imminently be in default," Daniel Pollack, the mediator appointed by Judge Griesa, said in a statement on Wednesday.

Kicillof, during an extensive press conference which included questions by reporters, defended Argentina's position, and seemed to blame both the court's lack of impartiality and unreasonable expectations by the vulture funds for the country's inability to pay the majority of its bondholders.

"Argentina paid, it has money, it will continue to pay the next installments because we want to do so and because the money is available," he said.

"This money is there. If it were a default, there would be no money."

As far as Buenos Aires is concerned, any move to capitulate to holdout bondholders would trigger a clause that could leave the country vulnerable to additional claims worth hundreds of billions of dollars who already accepted the restructured debt agreements.

Money for nothing? $1mn for app that says 'Yo' to your friends

Money for nothing? $1mn for app that says 'Yo' to your friends
Less really is more and the “Yo” app proves it. This two-tap, one-word app has raised $1 million and reached 50,000 users, but it does not do anything except sends ‘Yo’ to your friends. Over 4 million Yo messages have been sent since its launch.

It took Israeli citizen Or Arbel just eight hours to write the app and launch it on April’s Fool Day. But the success was more than a joke. Arbel has now quit his job as chief technology officer of stock trading platform Stox and is moving to San Francisco to work on Yo full time.

Convinced that Yo has a bright and prosperous future, Arbel plans to open an office, hire more staff (so far Yo is managed by a team of four) and attract “strategic partners” to develop his “single-tap zero character communication tool.”

All you need is just to download the app, which is available for both iOS and Android, add your friends and greet them with just one tap.

"People think it's just an app that says 'Yo.' But it's really not," he told The New York Times.

Arbel says the success is in the app’s simplicity. For example, to send a WhatsApp text, one of the most popular messengers, acquired by Facebook for $19 billion, it takes 10 and more taps. But with the Yo app, it takes only two taps.

Yo has been supported by a group of investors led by Moshe Hogeg, CEO of image-sharing app Mobli, who has invested $1 million.

Arbel says Yo could be interesting for brands and companies, Thinkprogress reports. For example, if you favorite shoe brand has a sale, to notify you it would just have to “Yo” you.

The service already works with the World Cup. If you send a Yo to WorldCup, for instance, you will receive one back every time a goal is scored.

Russians’ nostalgia for USSR is dwindling - poll

Russians’ nostalgia for USSR is dwindling - poll
Some 56 per cent of Russians still regret the dissolution of the Soviet Union, according to a poll published on the eve of the 90th anniversary of the foundation of the first Socialist state.

However, this is almost 10 per cent less than a decade ago, a survey by All- Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM) revealed.

A third of Russians do not mourn over the collapse of the Soviet Union 21 years ago. That is 6 per cent more than in 2002.

The majority of respondents who feel nostalgic about the end of the Soviet era are those above 45 years of age, with low education level, non-internet users and residents of capital cities of Russian regions. Youngsters, people with higher education and active web users – on the contrary – prefer life in modern Russia.

Two thirds of those questioned agreed that Soviet Union furthered the cultural and economic development of peoples that lived on the territory of the country. At the same time, 20 per cent believe that it was the other way round.

The state that once united 15 republics dissolved in December 1991, after the leaders of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus signed the document which marked the end of the Soviet empire.

Two decades on, over a half of Russians are confident that the collapse of the USSR could be prevented, the pollster found out. Still, 35 per cent stated that it was inevitable.

Shortly after the disintegration of the country, people were split on the reasons behind it. Back in 1992, 27 per cent of citizens thought that the communist state was doomed as the transition to democracy began.

With the passage of time Russians have changed their opinion: now 45 per cent of people blame politicians for bringing the Soviet empire to an end.

On December 8, 1991, the leaders of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus signed the agreement on the creation of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The document known as “The Belavezha Accords” managed to provide for a peaceful disintegration of the USSR. On December 12, 1991, the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic ratified the accords on behalf of Russia and at the same time denounced the 1922 Treaty on the Creation of the Soviet Union.

Several days later – on December 25, 1991 – the first and only Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev stepped down from office, declaring the USSR extinct.

The family of model Katy French has welcomed the open verdict reached by the coroner at the inquest into her death.

Her mother, Janet French, said that there were still many unanswered questions about Ms French’s death.

Ms French died in Our Lady's Hospital in Navan, Co Meath in December 2007, several days after she was brought there in the back of a four-by-four vehicle by Kieron Ducie and his then partner, Ann Corcoran.

Both Ducie and Corcoran were given suspended prison sentences earlier this year on a charge of procuring someone to provide drugs to Ms French.

A charge of failing to get prompt medical attention was dropped.

At the inquest today, both changed their original statements saying they could not remember the time when Ms French had a seizure.

They had originally estimated that it had happened at around 8am, although Ms French was not brought to hospital for another two hours.

The French family barrister said Ms Corcoran may have been a friend to Ms French in life, but not in her death.

Coroner John Lacy found in accordance with the medical evidence of State Pathologist Marie Cassidy that death was due to oxygen starvation of the brain due to cocaine and ephedrine.

He recorded an open verdict, due, he said, to the fact there were many gaps in the evidence.

Why You Need to Market Your Small Business Online

Did you know that 93% of all online experiences begin with a search engine? Or, how about the fact that nearly 60% of consumers use Google monthly to find a local small business? The statistics simply don't lie: if you can't be found online, you are losing out on a huge share of potential customers.

In today's market, it is increasingly difficult for small businesses to thrive. When large corporations have all of the funds and necessary resources to advertise and reach a wide audience, it can make it nearly impossible for local businesses to compete. This is where online marketing comes into play.

One of the most effective ways for small businesses to effectively market themselves
is through the use of SEO, SEM, and other smart online marketing techniques.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Put into its simplest terms, SEO refers to a group of practices used to help websites achieve better visibility in search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing through "natural" or "organic" search results. Although this seems fairly simple on the surface, search engines follow a very particular algorithm to determine how search results are listed. Effective SEO can improve your rankings and ultimately increase traffic.

The benefits of having effective SEO content include:

  • Increased online visibility & ranking in search engines
  • More qualified traffic being driven to your business
  • Content that is more user-friendly & easier to read
  • Increased presence on social media websites

Search Engine Marketing (SEM)

While some marketing companies will tout SEO as the be-all and end-all, it is much smarter to take a holistic approach to your online marketing with SEO and SEM in tandem. While SEO focuses on the natural rankings in search engines, SEM focuses on what is known as paid advertising.

SEM gives the business more control over what keywords they would like to appear for, what geographic locations they want to target, and even when they want their ads to appear. It is targeted, focused, and can be used to drive highly qualified customers to your website. By using both SEO tactics and SEM, you can widen your reach to target all potential customers online.

Localize Your Internet Marketing

With the use of online marketing (such as SEO and SEM), a small business can more easily reach their targeted local markets. Through effective marketing practices, you can easily increase the traffic to your business, which allows small businesses to compete with large corporations online.

Internet marketing can help small businesses achieve the following benefits:

  • Find new customers
  • Explore various markets
  • Assist with company growth
  • Achieve greater company credibility

The use of online marketing creates endless possibilities for businesses of all sizes. In fact, it is one of the best long-term investments that a business can make.

AtticMaxx-For Professional Organizers

A father of four and a small business owner in North Carolina came up with the idea for the AtticMaxx shelving system because his wife is a devoted holiday decorator â€“ â€œa decorating junkie,â€ he says. His wife doesnâ€™t refer to the timeframe of October through April as the â€œholiday seasonâ€ â€“ she calls that time of year â€œattic seasonâ€ because they make so many trips up and down the attic stairs retrieving and returning holiday decorations for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentineâ€™s Day and Easter.
His wife was frustrated about the â€œteetering towers of storage totesâ€ stacked to the attic ceiling on their very small amount of floor space. She didnâ€™t understand why her husband, a builder by trade, couldnâ€™t just add more floor space for her boxes. Additional attic floor space wasnâ€™t a simple solution for them because their attic, like that of most housing developments, was built with a truss roofing system and blown-in insulation â€” therefore, floor space couldnâ€™t easily be added without crushing the insulation or taking on a sizable project.
The creator was challenged to come up with a simple and affordable storage system that could utilize the empty space beyond the current flooring. He tried eight different prototypes and chose the current design because of its limited use of materials and easy installation for virtually any homeowner as a quick do-it-yourself project.
