Editor’s note:?Some savvy Facebook engineers rigged the NASDAQ button to automatically post “Mark Zuckerberg has listed a company on NASDAQ – FB” to the CEO’s Timeline as he?rung the bell to open the NASDAQ’s day of trading.?David Garcia, a senior software engineer at Facebook, explains how they turned the NASDAQ on to Open Graph. It was a normal Monday. Nothing out of the ordinary other than that Facebook was set to go public at the end of the week. Camera crews were beginning to appear and NASDAQ was coming to campus so we could ring the opening bell together. Other than that, it was like any other Monday.

Reducing the cost of central heating is very important to almost every household in the United Kingdom. These units provide our homes and businesses with comforting warmth in the winter, and with the necessary hot water to do the things we need to do. Some of the devices even have the air conditioning system connected with it to create a package that controls the thermostat in the home all year around. The poor economy is to blame for the concerns over the cost of operating this equipment.
The main thing that you need to consider about reducing the cost of central heating is what fuel your device uses. Some of these appliances are powered by heating oil, some are operated with mains gas, and some are even powered with wood. The price of the fuel that you use will be what controls the cost of operating the central heating system.
Heating oil is the most expensive of all of the three main fuel sources for the central heating systems. Wood is possibly the cheapest source of fuel, but it is the hardest one to obtain in some areas. The most sensible source of power for the majority of locations is the mains gas supply.
If you are serious about controlling the cost of central heating then you need to do a complete check of your home for air leaks. Air can get into the home around windows and doors and when it does it causes the temperature inside the home to raise or drop. The system you have in place to control the temperature inside the structure is forced to work harder to keep you comfortable. Stopping these air leaks with inexpensive items such as new gaskets around the entranceways into the home can save you a lot of money in your heating cost.
Central heating cost can be reduced if you do regular maintenance on the appliance. You need to do a check of the filters, and all other components of the system to make sure it is functioning at its highest capacity. Dirty air filters make the unit have to work harder. When it is being forced to work harder the cost of operations is increased. So making certain that filters are clean and the air flow is unobstructed will reduce the cost of operations.
You need to set the thermostat in the building on one temperature and leave it there. If you are constantly adjusting the temperature then you are causing the unit to work harder to try and satisfy the demands you are making on it. Select a temperature where you can be comfortable and leave the thermostat in that position. If you get a chill you can always put on a sweater to drive it away instead of increasing the temperature in the room.
We are all looking for ways to reduce our monthly expenses and reducing the cost of central heating is one of the first things we can do to lower our monthly expenses.
The cost of operating a central heating system is rising for many of the homes throughout the United Kingdom. In order to reduce the cost of operating the central heating in your home there are many inexpensive fixes for this problem.

Gamasutra has written an interesting article regarding the decline of the video games industry. It?s well documented that sales of video games and hardware are?down 42% from their best showing in 2008. Industry analyst Michael Pachter believes that the people who contributed to the industry?s substantial growth in 2008 simply won?t be coming back to consoles, and have subsequently moved onto iPad and Facebook games.
So the middle of the market has fallen out, and that?s consistent with the flight of the casual gamer that is a common theme among market watchers.
As Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter said to me in a recent email, ?casual gamers are never buying consoles again.? If true, that would signal a sea change in the balance of power in the video game industry. No longer would companies like Microsoft and Sony and Nintendo hold the reins of power.
While he and I have had our disagreements, I think I can agree with Pachter that the casual gamers are gone for good ? at least from the traditional business model. The industry giants are still largely focused on packaged game software for dedicated game hardware, and that simply does not make sense in the face of ubiquitous mobile devices and web-based free-to-play entertainment.

Google on Wednesday began making its search engine smarter, in what the Internet giant called a major upgrade that looks beyond query words to figure out what people are actually seeking online.
“Knowledge Graph” technology built to recognize people, places or things signified by keywords took its fledgling steps in the United States with the hope of eventually extending it to Google searches worldwide.
“The Knowledge Graph is built to understand real things in the world,” said Google fellow Ben Gomes, who has worked on search at the California-based company for more than a decade.
“It is the beginning of a long journey we will be on to cover more topics and more complex queries.”
Gomes envisions Google search being able to eventually answer tricky questions such as where to attend an outdoor Lady Gaga concert in warm weather or the location of an amusement park near a vegetarian restaurant.
For now, people using US Google search in English will start seeing on search pages boxes suggesting what they are interested in finding.
A demonstration showed that searching on the word “Kings” in California, for example, prompted the search engine to point out that one is likely interested in a hockey team, basketball team, or film.
Using the keyword “Andromeda” prompted Knowledge Graph to note one might be interested in a galaxy, a television series, or a Swedish rock band.
Clicking on a suggested topic instantly refined search results.
Google painstakingly adjusted its algorithm to comb information from databases such as Freebase and Wikipedia to give context to words and then use general search patterns when it comes to what people tend to want, Gomes said.
Searches on specific subjects such as an architect’s name triggered Knowledge Graph results offering to dive into categories such as biographical information or projects designed.
Google added a serendipity factor by surfacing potentially surprising facts.
For example, a search on “Simpsons” cartoon creator Matt Groening resulted in a Knowledge Graph box that noted his parents and sister have the same first names as his well-know fictional characters — Homer, Margaret and Lisa.
“Text strings are ambiguous; we have to make a lot of changes to understand real world entities,” Gomes said.
“This has been an exciting problem for us and we have been attacking it for two years.”
Google’s Knowledge Graph has been programmed to recognize more than 500 million people, places, or things using a combined total of about 3.5 billion attributes and associations between bits of information.
“People ask about anything you can think about and lots of things you never thought about,” Gomes said.
Google included links searchers can click to point out when the Knowledge Graph gets something wrong.
“Not everything is going to be correct,” Gomes said. “We put a tremendous amount of work into it but even if it was perfect facts change every day.”
The change was expected to affect a large number of queries, and was tailored with mobile gadgets in mind since it lets people dive deeper into searches with taps of touchscreens.
“It is very useful on a mobile phone, and really cool on a tablet,” Gomes said.
Google constantly refines its service to defend its place as the world’s favorite search engine, and the wealth of online advertising revenue that comes with that dominance.
Google’s share of the US search market inched up to 66.5 percent in April, with Microsoft’s Bing service a distant second with 15.4 percent, according to industry tracker comScore.
Microsoft has been striving to unseat Google from the search throne and has cultivated ties with leading social network Facebook, which has the potential to shake up the market with an online query service at the online community.

BEIRUT — The U.N.’s observer mission in Syria was caught up in a burst of violence Tuesday captured on video, with a roadside bomb damaging its cars just minutes after witnesses said regime forces gunned down mourners at a funeral procession nearby.
The mission confirmed its vehicles were hit by a bomb shortly after they met with Syrian rebels, and said there were no injuries.
It was not clear how close the observers were to the funeral shootings, but if confirmed, a regime attack on a civilians directly in front of the observer mission could put pressure on them to describe publicly what they are seeing in Syria. They report back to the U.N. but have not publicized their findings.
The attack in the northern town of Khan Sheikhoun is at least the second time that U.N. observers have been caught up in Syria’s violence. Last week, a roadside bomb struck a Syrian military truck in the south of the country just seconds after the head of the U.N. observers team drove by in a convoy.
A video of the bomb attack was posted by activists online. “The front of a U.N. car took a direct hit,” activist Fadi al-Yassin, who witnessed the incident, told The Associated Press. “Everyone ran in panic but the observers stayed in the car. People tried to talk to them but they wouldn’t even open their windows.”
Just minutes earlier, Syrian forces fired on a funeral procession, activists said. Al-Yassin and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that as many as 20 people may have been killed and said many others were wounded, some of them in serious condition. It was impossible to independently confirm the toll.
“This is a real massacre and it took place in the presence of U.N. observers,” Rami Abdul-Rahman, head of the Observatory, said of the attack on the funeral. He called for an international investigation and for the monitors to state publicly what they saw.
A video posted by activists online appeared to show the exact moment the U.N. vehicle was struck. The video shows two white vehicles clearly marked “U.N” with people milling around it, and two others parked a few meters behind. Slippers apparently left behind by the mourners running away from the shooting earlier are seen strewn about on the ground.
The blast blew off the front of the first vehicle and sent up a plume of smoke as people screamed and frantically ran for cover. The four cars are then seen slowly driving away.
Ahmad Fawzi, a spokesman for Syria’s special envoy Kofi Annan, confirmed the observers were caught up in the country’s violence as they met with the rebel Free Syrian Army.
“The U.N. Mission in Syria reports that shortly after 2 p.m. local time today, a (U.N.) convoy of four vehicles was struck by an explosion from an improvised explosive device,” Fawzi said in a statement. “Three U.N. vehicles were damaged. No U.N. personnel were injured.”
The Syrian uprising began in March 2011 with mostly peaceful protests calling for change, but a relentless government crackdown led many in the opposition to take up arms. Some soldiers also have switched sides and joined forces with the rebels.
World powers have backed a peace plan that was put forward by Annan, but the bloodshed has not stopped. More than 200 U.N. observers have been deployed in Syria to oversee the truce between the government and armed rebels.
The U.N. estimates the conflict has killed more than 9,000 people.

So, you?ve made it. You?re ready to get into home improvement right? Well, now is the perfect time. You probably have a lot of questions on how to start and what to do, but don?t worry, this article has you covered. Listed below are some tips that will help you get started with your home improvement plans.
Upgrade your kitchen to improve home value quickly. Kitchen improvements can be as simple as refreshing paint or wallpaper or as complex as installing new cabinetry, appliances or flooring. You can do most kitchen improvements yourself or contract with a professional for more difficult items. Investing in your kitchen makes your home more enjoyable for yourself and your family, and it also increases the home value should you ever decide to sell your house.
If you have a kitchen and family room that run together, consider adding a breakfast bar. A breakfast bar will allow each room to have individuality and you will not have to compromise the space. An over-sized breakfast bar that includes chairs can be purchased for less than 1,000 dollars.
When considering renovating your home to create an income property, think about how much of the house you really need. For example, if you have a three story home, consider renting out more than just the basement. If you rent out the first floor as well you can double your income and pay off your mortgage even faster.
Home improvement was not just a funny show on television. The lovable star actually did do some sort of project every week. One way to improve the function of your kitchen is to install a garbage disposal in your sink. The disposal will always be functional by helping keep your drains clean. Pop to Click For INFO for quality guidelines.
Is your home getting to hot in the day or is your home too bright for your liking? If so, you should try tinting the windows in your home. This is a fairly easy process that most people can do on their own. Additionally, tinting your windows saves a lot on your cooling bill.
If you own a home then you know the list of improvements and updates are never-ending. Every season brings new things to think about around your house. For the summer months, you should always check and clean your air conditioner; likewise, for winter you should do the same check and balance for your heater.
As revealed in the article, home improvement can be a good thing, but it can also have a downside. Some home improvements do not pay off and may even make your house harder to sell. By applying these simple rules of home improvement do?s and do-not?s, you can keep from making a disaster that you will be forced to live with.

When we, Attachment Parenting International, learned that TIME Magazine decided to take on attachment parenting in its May 21, 2012 issue, we had to ask, ?TIME, are you news magazine enough??
Beyond the incendiary attempt to pit mothers against each other asking, ?Are you mom enough?,? and a strategic cover contrived to sell copies, what did TIME actually say about attachment parenting?
In case you don?t get very far past the cover, here is what TIME happened to acknowledge to the world about attachment parenting:
Dr. William Sears, with Martha Sears, deserve recognition for changing the course of parenting and giving parents?The Baby Book 20 years ago. Dr. Sears is noted by TIME as ?The Man Who Remade Motherhood? and author of many parenting books, including?The Baby Book: ?First published in 1992,?The Baby Bookis now in print in 18 languages, with more than 1.5 million copies sold.?
Attachment parenting is changing how we parent: ?Chances are also good that, consciously or not, you?ve practiced some derivative of attachment parenting or been influenced by its message that mothers and babies evolved to be close to each other.?
?Fans and critics of attachment parenting can agree on two things: there has been a sea change in American childrearing over the past 20 years, and no one has been a more enthusiastic cheerleader for it than Sears.?
?So many of the ideas of attachment parenting are in the culture even if you don?t believe in Dr. Sears per se,? says Pamela Druckerman , author of?Bringing Up B?b?.
?[Attachment parenting] is a new common sense.?
(TIME, The Man Who Remade Motherhood, Kate Pickert)
Nurturing touch fosters security: ??it?s hard to argue with his overall message that babies who are cuddled feel secure.?
Breastfeeding promotes bonding: ?He surely deserves credit for promoting breastfeeding and the idea that the bond between mother and baby is critical.?
Consistent and loving care is key: ?The difference between children without consistent relationships with parents (or parental figures of any kind) and well-parented children who are fed formula (instead of breastmilk) and put in bouncy seats (instead of slings) is huge. The former, science says, are headed for developmental and emotional problems.?
Fathers are not incidental to attachment parenting: ?Much of Sears? instruction for fathers revolves around the supportive role they can play for their wives.? ?Sears also encourages ?attachment fathering,? pointing out that dads can wear their babies just as well as mothers.?
Many AP moms work outside the home: ?[Sears] says about 60% of mothers with children in his pediatric practice work outside their homes, and indeed, some career mothers are drawn to an attachment parenting model that helps them get close to their babies when they finally come home from work.?
(TIME, The Man Who Remade Motherhood, Kate Pickert)
Breastfeeding beyond infancy is ? natural: ?In 2008, the American Academy of Family Physicians did its part to try to destigmatize nursing toddlers and older children, applauding the WHO guidelines even as it acknowledged that extended breastfeeding ?is not the cultural norm in the United States and requires ongoing support and encouragement.? The group added: It has been estimated that a natural weaning age for humans is between two and seven years. Family physicians should be knowledgeable regarding the ongoing benefits to the child of extended breastfeeding, including continued immune protection, better social adjustment and having a sustainable food source in times of emergency. The longer women breastfeed, the greater the decrease in their risk of breast cancer. There is no evidence that extended breastfeeding is harmful to mother or child.?
(TIME, Extended Breast-Feeding: Is It More Common than We Think?, Bonnie Rochman)
Weaning happens naturally: ?So I rarely had to contend with strangers? stares because the older my kids got, the less they nursed. That?s the normal progression of things ? it?s how weaning is ideally supposed to work.?
(TIME, Extended Breast-Feeding: Is It More Common than We Think?, Bonnie Rochman)
Attachment parenting advocates societal change to accommodate family wellbeing: ?More power to all of us. Let?s not blame our breasts for the other societal issues ? like unequal pay, lack of daycare and having to protect our babies from toxins ? that are holding us back.?
(TIME, Why Breast-Feeding Isn?t the Bugaboo, Dominique Browning)
Greater acceptance of nursing, including in public, helps families meet their babies? needs: The world wonders what the discussion is: ?But much of the world doesn?t share America?s uneasiness. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends breast-feeding up to a child?s second birthday ?or beyond.? Most U.S. mothers don?t even meet the recommendation made by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the U.S. Surgeon General that they skip infant formula and breast-feed exclusively for a mere six months.?
(TIME, Extended Breast-Feeding: Is It More Common than We Think?, Bonnie Rochman)
Parenting with intention may be healing and address unresolved needs: ?Our parenting preferences matter deeply to us ? they boost our self-esteem, or perhaps soothe and heal us from having been parented in a way that didn?t meet our needs.?
(TIME, ?Parents Do What?s Right for Them,? Judith Warner)
There is value in being responsive to infant cries. We know responding will not spoil an infant. So if the research on ?cry it out? is not conclusive, no need to support ignoring cries and the parent urge to respond, in lieu of building trust and a stronger relationship, and relying on support if needed. After finding in his research the science behind Dr. Sears? work lacking, Jeffrey Kluger does acknowledge: ?None of this means that Sears? larger philosophy of attachment parenting is fatally flawed ? as his millions of believers and their happy, well-adjusted babies would surely attest.?
(TIME, The Science Behind Dr. Sears: Does it Stand Up?, Jeffrey Kluger)
Attachment Parenting holds up to scrutiny: ?[Mothers] research; they seek out best practices; they join a group, form a committee and agitate for their version of feeding/disciplining/sleeping. If you don?t believe me, just visit a breast-feeding support group with former litigators, marketing executives and investment bankers.?
(TIME, How Feminism Begat Intensive Mothering, Belinda Luscombe)
Parents are actively advancing the field of parenting; the sciences of development and attachment are affirming their parenting instincts: ?We?ve educated women to forge a new path. Why did we think they?d treat raising children any differently??
(TIME, How Feminism Begat Intensive Mothering, Belinda Luscombe)
Balance and support are essential to parenting: ?Sears tells mothers, ?Do the best you can with the resources you have?; he tells husbands to book massages for their wives and shoo them out of the house so they can get a break from parenting.?
(TIME, The Man Who Remade Motherhood, Kate Pickert)
This TIME magazine issue does have parents reading between the lines, pleased to discover the attachment parenting name to what they?ve been practicing.
We certainly don?t expect Attachment Parenting International promotional material from TIME magazine, so the work remains to shift culture to responsive and compassionate parenting, and to make clarifications as needed:
Attachment parenting is motivated by a desire to raise well adjusted, strong, independent children, as parents meet the trust and other emotional needs of the child from the very start and it?s not the case that: ??it?s more about parental devotion and sacrifice than about raising self-sufficient kids.?
(TIME, The Man Who Remade Motherhood, Kate Pickert)
The essence of attachment parenting is loving care that features a reciprocal, relational approach that goes deeper than this simple formula: ?The three basic tenets are breast-feeding (sometimes into toddlerhood), co-sleeping (inviting babies into the parental bed or pulling a bassinet alongside it) and ?baby wearing,? in which infants are literally attached to their mothers via slings.?
(TIME, The Man Who Remade Motherhood, Kate Pickert)
?Attachment parenting is in many ways the practical application of my father?s theory,? writes Sir Richard Bowlby Bt., who ?lectures to promote a much broader understanding of his father?s work [Dr. John Bowlby] on attachment theory,? in his endorsement of API co-founders?, Barbara Nicholson and Lysa Parker, book Attached at the Heart: Eight Proven Parenting Principles for Raising Connected and Compassionate Children, just to begin addressing the criticism that ?The science on attachment is also easily misunderstood and misused. The father of attachment theory is John Bowlby, a British psychoanalyst who in the mid ? 20th century studied orphans and children abandoned by their mothers.?
(TIME, The Man Who Remade Motherhood, Kate Pickert)
There is nothing that prohibits a parent who works from incorporating the heart of relationship with attachment parenting. Perhaps they may elect to breastfeed or bottlenurse; babywear; or cosleep safely (not necessarily in the adult bed) to get more sleep; and at least nurture their child without spanking or shaming; and respond with sensitivity most of the time. Many find attachment parenting makes parenting and working more compatible, not ?impossibly demanding? as Judith Warner perceives: ?That?s why William Sears, for all his insistence on flexibility and admonitions to ?do the best you can with the resources you have,? strikes so many of us as impossibly demanding for any woman who wants or simply needs to keep out-of-home work a viable part of her life.?
(TIME, ?Parents Do What?s Right for Them,? Judith Warner)
Yes, the AP crowd is on average pretty well educated, but it isn?t affluence that determines their choices ? many continue to make financial sacrifices based on what science (and their own hearts) say is best for their children.?The affluent, slightly older and well educated moms who are most likely perusing parenting books like those written by William Sears have already tasted financial independence, self-sufficiency and freedom of movement.?
(TIME, ?Parents Do What?s Right for Them,? Judith Warner)
We welcome TIME Magazine giving attachment parenting a public platform for discussion. For many years we have been witnessing a silent transition of the mainstream culture to attachment parenting?not extremism, as parents experience the benefits of parenting compassionately and become more confident in trusting their instincts.
TIME, the blame for mother guilt does not lie with attachment parenting or with any other type of parenting philosophy or culture ? the complexity and balancing act of motherhood, encompassing mommy guilt or even typical healthy doubt as we navigate our way, existed before attachment parenting resurfaced. In fact, while TIME perpetuates the idea of an epidemic of immobilizing mommy guilt, moms of every stripe are in no uncertain terms countering, ?Yes, we are mom enough.? AP brings balance and self-acceptance to mothers, embracing our imperfections and even recognizing how the repairs we make with our children strengthen and grow the attachment relationship. Now, we must move past the misconceptions and myths some of the conversation is dominated by and collectively think of the future we are raising.
Attachment parenting has a pedigree that goes to the beginning of history, rooted in a theory that has 60 years of formal research behind it, and 20 years of reclaiming our parenting instincts from disproven constructs of baby training and ignoring infant cries. If examined without bias and preconceptions, TIME may well one day report on attachment parenting as a ?new? scientific discovery. The front cover and title would hail attachment parenting as the next life-changing advancement in society that benefits children, mothers, fathers, families, and society; but it?s enough for now.
