Play Safe For Android Locks Down Your Phone So Kids Can (Safely) Play

playsafe3Sometimes you just gotta do your own thing. Such was the case with Boris Vaisman, who dropped out of Y Combinator's winter batch (where he was on kid-safe phone lockdown tool, Kyte). Says Vaisman, it was just a matter of "having a different vision in terms of how to move forward." So what has Vaisman, along with co-founder Ankush Agarwal, now launched instead? Play Safe, an app for Android that lets kids safely play games on your own smartphone.

Rep. Daudt moves forward with welfare reform | The Isanti County ...

Calling it common sense reform, Representative Kurt Daudt authored and successfully passed a bill this past session relating to welfare reform.

Representative Kurt Daudt

Rep. Daudt spoke about the bill that puts new restrictions on those using Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards that provide cash and food support benefits to Minnesotans.

Rep. Daudt explained in August 2008, Minnesota House Republicans uncovered data from the Minnesota Department of Human Services showing that 309,717 EBT transactions took place in other states other than Minnesota costing taxpayers more than $10 million.

He also explained an investigative report by a Twin Cities television station uncovered 54,000 transactions in September 2010 took place in states other than Minnesota including Hawaii and the Virgin Islands. Of those transactions, 101 were at liquor stores in eight different states.

The legislation prohibits EBT recipients from purchasing tobacco or alcohol products with their EBT cards. In addition, the bill limits use of the cash portion of EBT cards to Minnesota and surrounding states. Rep. Daudt also said effective June 1, names will be printed on EBT cards.

?This law will potentially save millions,? Rep. Daudt said.

Rep. Daudt said overall he is comfortable with the outcome of the session.

?We came in with a $6.2 billion deficit and we are now looking at a $1.2 billion surplus,? Rep. Daudt said. ?Even though the surplus is already accounted for budget reserves and cash flow, we did accomplish a surplus without raising taxes. We felt if we raised taxes it would prolong the recovery from the economic slump we are in. We want to get people back to work and curb state spending.?

This past session, Rep. Daudt served as vice chair of Rules and Legislative Administration and served on the following committees: Commerce and Regulatory Reform, Higher Education Policy and Finance, Property and Local Tax Division, Public Safety and Crime Prevention Policy and Finance and Redistricting.

Rep. Daudt said he also spent a lot of time working on Green Acres and Rural Preserves tax relief programs. Rep. Daudt explained Green Acres was changed so that property, of any size acreage, be contiguous to property enrolled in Green Acres and under the same ownership.

?Our area was really hit hard by the Green Acres and this bill was changed that allowed people to keep their entire farm with Green Acres,? Rep. Daudt explained.

One highlight of the session for Rep. Daudt was when he was part of the Republican rebuttal following Gov. Dayton?s State of the State address.

?I served on six committees and stayed busy while I was down there,? Rep. Daudt said. ?But overall, I?m happy with the session.?

Jane Chafin: A Book About Paris Has Its Way With Me

TASCHEN has had its way with me again. This time it's Paris: Portrait of a City, a voluptuous oversized volume of photographs of the city of my dreams, a visual feast covering 150 years of Parisian history and culture that put me in a prolonged trance-like state. Glancing at my notebook afterwards, I saw that I had jotted down notes about so many events, artists, writers, photographers, entertainers and architecture that I had almost re-created the index -- that's how rich this book is.

We see a photograph of Toulouse-Lautrec surrounded by a grouping of his paintings and a naked prostitute in the bordello he frequented; Brassa?'s portrait of a beautiful young Salvador Dali in his studio; Man Ray's group portrait of the "Bureau for Surrealist Research;" another Brassa? of Pablo Picasso in his studio seated next to a huge pagoda-like potbellied stove; and Edward Steichen's portraits of Rodin and Matisse with their work.

Toulouse-Lautrec in the bordello he frequented in Rue des Moulins, shown with his paintings of its "residents", 1894. ? Biblioth?que nationale de France.

We see an 1855 photograph of construction on the Louvre Palace, on the order of Napoleon III who decided to connect it to the Tuileries Palace making it the largest palace in the world. A 1942 image shows empty frames hanging in the museum, artists' names and titles chalked on the wall behind them, their contents having been removed and stored in a secret location when war was declared.

A four-page foldout shows the successive stages of construction of the Eiffel Tower; while the endpapers show a more modern view of the tower, Frank Horvat's 1974 Shoe and Eiffel Tower, the tower itself dwarfed by a woman's ankles and shoes. There is an eerie black and white photo of Hitler posing in front of the tower during the German occupation. More upbeat images show a woman hanging precariously on the edge of the tower, skirt flared out in the wind, while another captures the tower in silhouette against fireworks during the 1989 Bicentennial of the Revolution.

One of the most spectacular accidents of the age occurred at the Montparnasse railway station: a train from Granville, traveling at somewhere between 40 and 60 kph, was unable to stop: it careered through the buffers, off the platform and through the fa?ade of the building, from which it fell onto Place de Rennes below, 1895. ? Antonin Neurdein/Roger-Viollet

There is Nadar's first aerial photo of Paris taken from a balloon, the first ever photo taken with a Kodak/Eastman camera, Lee Miller's Paris in the Snow, Cartier-Bresson's Behind the Gare Saint-Lazare, and Rene Jacques' The Tarring Machine with its ghost-like image of Notre Dame in the background framed between two lamp posts.

Coco Chanel, Kiki de Montparnasse, Josephine Baker, Brigitte Bardot, Collette, Bijou, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Sarah Bernhardt, Simone de Beauvoir, Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart, Jean Renoir, Balzac, Orson Welles, Sartre, Yves St. Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld are all represented. We see the Moulin Rouge, Cafe Les Deux Magots, dirigibles, balloons, expositions, revolutions, occupations, celebrations and much much more.

Lessons from the Rock for Europe's banks

LONDON (Reuters) - In November 2010, rumors swirled through financial markets that Spanish bank BBVA was suffering a run on its deposits. The share price fell before excitable traders realized they had made a mistake.

In fact the bank was holding a "fun run" in Madrid and customers had lined up outside its branches to get their T-shirts. In a jittery market, talk spread quickly and few things worry bank investors and customers more than talk of a run.

Nervous times have returned to the euro zone, and customers are worrying again about whether their savings are safe.

Banks, regulators and policymakers in Greece, Spain and across Europe are back on high alert to avoid a repeat of the most catastrophic risk for a bank -- a loss of confidence among savers, or a run on the bank.

A run may start irrationally, but once it takes hold the panic can be entirely rational. No-one wants to be last in line if everyone else is pulling out their cash.

A run on Britain's Northern Rock in September 2007 was one of the most sudden and shocking events of the financial crisis.

It was the first run on a British bank for more than 100 years and critics said it made the country look like a banana republic. Yet it is providing lessons on how to limit the damage in future.

"The key thing to learn is that runs can happen out of nowhere and once they start they are incredibly difficult to stop. And to stop them you have to do far more than you expect, and to do it far more quickly than you expect," said Alistair Darling, Britain's finance minister at the time.

"With what's going on at the moment, it's clear that many Greeks have taken their money out. If you're not careful, a trickle can become a flow and it can then become an absolute torrent," Darling told Reuters in an interview.

The dynamics have shifted, but there is now a greater risk that panic will spread to more than one bank.

"Northern Rock was a question about the soundness of the bank. Now the question is about the soundness of the government," said Nicolas Veron at Brussels think-tank Bruegel.

"Then there is a related question - for countries that are at risk of leaving the EU, it could make sense to withdraw the deposits. It becomes a currency risk," he said.

If Greeks fear their country could leave the euro, they may not want to keep their money in a local bank and risk seeing it devalued.

As a result, deposit insurance schemes can offer only limited support.

A guarantee helps, but not if there are doubts that the government can pay, and it doesn't protect against currency redenomination, as in Argentina in 2001, when the value of deposits fell 20 percent.

Reassuring customers they will not lose money and strengthening the deposit guarantee scheme is nonetheless the biggest lesson learned from Northern Rock.

"It came as a bolt from the blue and people weren't sure of their protection, and then there was some spectacular and sensational media coverage. It was difficult to control," said a person involved with events at that time.

RUN ON THE ROCK

Northern Rock was caught on the back foot when news of its problems were reported by the BBC late one Thursday night.

The bank, which had grown rapidly to become Britain's fifth biggest mortgage lender, had needed emergency funding from the Bank of England a few days before, having been frozen out of wholesale funding markets due to a reckless business model.

The BBC report caused panic among savers, which got worse when policymakers were slow to reassure them.

Thousands queued outside Northern Rock's branches from early that Friday, over the weekend, and on the Monday. When Darling stood up to tell people their savings would be 100 percent guaranteed, the queues quickly disappeared.

Reassurance came too slowly and ministers were criticized for not doing enough to calm savers.

"Our lesson from Northern Rock is we let it run for three or four days, which was far, far too long," Darling said.

"The problem was the government did not appear to be in control of events, and it wasn't. It wasn't until the Monday evening when I announced the formal guarantees that we were able to stop money leaving," he said.

Although that slowed the visible run, deposits continued to be pulled from Northern Rock by online, postal and telephone customers in a so-called silent run.

About half of Northern Rock's 24 billion pounds ($38 billion) of retail deposits were estimated to have been withdrawn.

Other banks also suffered silent runs during the crisis, including Belgium's Fortis and U.S. lender Wachovia, and in the modern era that is seen as the biggest risk for banks.

It may lack the drama of a High Street panic, but big amounts can move quickly and easily at the click of a mouse.

Britain and other countries have made the rules on compensation less complex and more generous, and banks now regularly communicate that. Four years ago, only the first 2,000 pounds ($3,000) was fully guaranteed, and then 90 percent of the next 33,000 pounds ($52,000). Now it is 100 percent of 85,000 pounds ($133,000), and other European countries guarantee a similar amount.

Consumers are more financially aware. During Northern Rock's crisis, a branch manager was barricaded in her office after refusing to allow one couple to withdraw 1 million pounds. Deposits are now typically distributed across more banks.

As well as being attacked for a poor communications strategy, British authorities were criticized for a lack of contingency planning, weak coordination between the Treasury, the central bank and the regulator, and lax supervision.

Risks at Northern Rock had been identified in "war games" held in 2005, but steps to address weaknesses were not taken.

But Darling said the Northern Rock crisis did mean the government acted sooner and more decisively a year later when Royal Bank of Scotland was on the brink of collapse.

"We were determined that we would not let it happen again, and this time we were dealing with big global players ... we had no hesitation in taking the action we needed to do," he said.

SLOW RUN

Other banks have suffered runs before and since Northern Rock, and more will in future.

"If people think that their money might be at risk, it's entirely rational for them to take it out," Darling said.

In 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt took drastic action to halt a series of runs on U.S. banks, successfully calming savers with an effective 100 percent deposit insurance.

Greeks were last week rattled after the country's president said savers had withdrawn 700 million euros ($875 million) in one day. That prompted a similar amount to be withdrawn the next day.

The exodus slowed, and there has been no sign of panic or queues at branches in Athens. But there had already been a slow run on Greek deposits -- about 72 billion euros ($90 billion), or 30 percent, has been taken out since the start of 2010.

A bigger worry is that Madrid's banking crisis or a Greek euro zone exit could prompt an exodus from Spanish banks.

Shares in Bankia plunged last week after a report that 1 billion euros ($1.25 billion) had been pulled out by customers, forcing the government to deny the claim.

There has been no sign of panic in Spain, and the latest deposits data from its central bank showed a slight increase in March, although about 55 billion euros ($69 billion) has been withdrawn in the year to March, or 4.6 percent.

But Santander's British arm did see 200 million pounds ($300 million) withdrawn last Friday after it was included in a Moody's credit rating downgrade of Spanish banks.

Several local governments withdrew funds from Santander UK due to worries about its parent, Spain, or the euro zone, even though it is an autonomous subsidiary and is self-sufficient in capital and funding, showing the risk of a run is not just about retail customers.

Britain's local authorities are risk-averse after many lost millions of pounds held in Icelandic banks.

Plymouth City Council told Reuters it removed funds from Santander UK on Friday, while Kent, Oxford and Waltham Forest said they had taken out deposits and were reviewing the situation. John Simmonds of Kent County Council said he was reassured that capital could not be drained by its Spanish parent, but he was now "waiting for the fog to clear a little".

At least five more councils, including Westminster and Middlesbrough, told Reuters they had stopped depositing cash with Santander UK in the last two years, due to Spain and the euro zone concerns.

Unlike four years ago, there was a swift reaction to quell any panic, and the Financial Services Authority confirmed no money could be sent to bail out the parent. Santander UK said activity returned to normal the day after Friday's withdrawals.

With the euro zone crisis likely to drag on, there have been calls for a pan-European deposit scheme to reassure savers in countries like Greece. But that would fail to protect against currency risk and would probably face opposition in Germany, which does not want to pay for more problems elsewhere.

Cause Exterior Paint Peel | Home Improvement Zones

For most people, when you see that your color will begin to chip or peel your first reaction is denial. You say to yourself that it is likely that only one body, because it?s not entirely true to paint? Was it really seven years ago? Well, time flies whether you?re having fun or not. Cold reality sets in and finally accept the fact that it?s time to paint new.

Maybe you need a handy person, and you think that painting your house would be a good idea but it is not recommended for best results, either on your jacket or your stress. But if you risk your life on a ladder or hire someone who is qualified to do it, there are a few things you should know about color.

Paint is a wonderful creation and fickle. It is the integrity of your home, the constructive elements of wind, rain, sun and maybe even protect locusts. But if it is not, and under the right conditions, failed. Pathetic.

Whether you?re the DIY route, or choose a professional, these guidelines will help you understand what you are doing.

* Not suitable for colors: There are two main types of paint, latex or oil based. Apply a latex paint is not an oil. You will notice it immediately because the paint will drip away. To prevent this, the same color as always be possible. If you last used latex, recycled latex. If this is not possible, and primers will be many times by the surfaces to improve adhesion.

* Using the wrong color: exterior paint is formulated to work on the outside. The inner coating for an outer surface will result in a shorter life due to premature blistering and peeling.

* Application of paint in the cold season: If the paint is applied to an outer surface of the cold season, do not bind well. When the temperature below 50 ? C, often varnish absorbed moisture, prevents hardening.

* The application of paint on a contaminated surface, it is important to clean your area before you sign them. Dirt, grime and chalk the rest are just some of the things that the adhesion of paint to work properly.

* Lack of maintenance: If you do not maintain your painted surfaces, impurities likely collapse of the color before it is due. Pressure Washing is a simple way to clean your painted exterior.

* Structural Damage: Paint is designed to protect your home against the elements. The longer this protective layer is uncontrolled, the greater the risk of damage to the actual design elements of your home such as siding and trim.

home environment, moving home, - The Issue of Space in New Build ...











New build homeshave always had a certain appeal with their shiny new kitchens and bathrooms and free of someone else's clutter but are they really as spacious as they seem or are show homes designed to give the illusion of space with neutral colour schemes and the use of undersized furniture? Research from the UK government's national archives by CABE (Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment) has assessed whether there is actually sufficient space in new homes for the furniture that couples and families need for everyday living and for the storage of personal possessions. Is there genuinely enough room for residents to cook, eat, relaxand socialise in new private sector homes?

The CABE research reveals that many purchasers of newly built homes do not feel that the space in their homes is sufficient for basic everyday activities and it suggests that new private homes require more space to be fit for purpose. In a densely populated country such as the UK it might be thought that there simply is not the space available to build larger new homes or that the price of larger homes would make them unaffordable to the majority of home buyers, but further research by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) shows that even in other European countries with the same density of population, the average house sizes are larger.

Prior to 1980 minimum space requirements for local authority housing were defined and these were generally adhered to by private sector house builders. However, these standards no longer exist, although minimum space standards are still required for social housing but, not surprisingly, according to CABE much of the new build private sector housing no longer meets the basic space needs of the residents.Consequently the UK hassubstantially smaller new homes than almost all other European countries.

11,000 households were interviewed as part of CABE's research and the results revealed that the space required by homeowners was not readily available. Two or three bedroom houses, originally designed as family homes, but frequently occupied by young couples without children still did not provideadequate space, even with the extra bedrooms. This suggests that some so-called "family" homes are not adaptable enough to function well for growing families without extending them.

Adequate storage is another basic necessity of every home, whether it's small or large. Everyone needs somewhere to store clothes, household equipment, food etc., but the majority of new homes simply do not have enough storage space.Moreover, due to the limited space for furnitureitems it is not possible to buy freestanding storage units and actually fit them into the main rooms of new homes.

Of course new homes have their advantages but if you are looking for space to have the freedom to buy whatever furniture you like, plenty of storage space for all of your belongings or, at least, room for your own storage unit, think carefully about the advantages of a brand new home and whether the disadvantages might not actually outweigh the advantages, particularly in the longer term as your family grows and your storage requirements increase.

The author has written and published articles on a range of topics related to our home environment including moving home, decluttering, space in new-build homes, storage space in London homes and the use of self storage to help us organise our possessions.

Yemen: 27 al-Qaida militants killed in south

(AP) ? Yemeni military officials say fighting in two southern flashpoint towns has left 27 al-Qaida fighters and seven soldiers dead, and a top commander says the army is pushing the militants out of the area.

The officials say 20 militants and seven soldiers have been killed in fighting near Zinjibar, the capital of southern Abyan province, that continued from Friday until early Saturday. They say seven other militants have been killed in nearby Jaar.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

Brig. Gen. Mohammed al-Somali, commander of the 25th Mechanized Brigade, says the army has advanced deep into Zinjibar. The town fell last year to al-Qaida, who took advantage of political turmoil to extend their control over much of the south.

Etan Patz and the history of missing kids on milk cartons

In today's social-media world, it's hard to imagine: But in 1979, there was no coordinated effort of state or national law enforcement when a child went missing. Etan Patz, who disappeared 33 years ago on May 25, changed the way searches were conducted ever after.

The 6-year-old made national headlines when he disappeared on his way to the school bus, a two-block walk in New York City's Soho neighborhood. Patz's father, a professional photographer, made copies of Etan's picture and distributed them far and wide, raising the profile of the missing-person case.

In 1983, Ronald Reagan declared May 25, the day Etan Patz disappeared, as National Missing Children's Day. But in the 1980s, many kids spent their mornings slurping their cereal while staring at the faces of missing kids on the sides of milk cartons. Etan Patz was in the first group of photos sent out by the National Child Safety Council. The organization got the idea from a local dairy, Anderson Erickson, which had first published a photo of a missing Iowa child on its milk cartons.

[Related: Three abandoned children found in Portland]

That idea, said Gaylord Walker, vice president and board member of the National Child Safety Council (NCSC), was great, but not effective, since "90 times out of 100, the child is going to be removed from the area where they were abducted." He, along with NCSC founder H.R. Wilkinson and researcher Barbara Huggett, hammered out a deal with the five companies that manufacture milk cartons in the U.S. to supply them with the pictures of missing kids that the dairies had the options to use.

In December 1984, the first wave of 55 pictures went out. Etan Patz's picture was in that first group. Walker remembered, "It got off the ground in the month. I've never seen people so willing to help." The dairies gave up valuable advertising space for the public service announcements. Walker added that although the campaign helped to recover some children, more importantly, "It definitely raised awareness about the program."

[Related: How Etan's disappearance changed a generation]

By 1985, 700 dairies out of 1,800 around the country participated. These days, photos of missing children can be found in USA Today, on Walmart bulletin boards and on TruTV's "In Session"; features of missing children are on every newscast, every day on WABC-TV in New York, and the Lexis Nexis database.

While statistics of missing and recovered children are difficult to come by, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children estimates that some 800,000 children go missing every year. That breaks down to 2,185 children reported missing each day.

The organization's website asserts that the pictures of the missing do make a difference: These posters reach millions and prompt individuals across the country to call NCMEC's missing children's hotline and provide vital leads and information, many of which lead to the recovery of missing children."
