James Senior, a Microsoft UK blogger, has put up on his blog about an impending change to Live Maps in the UK. Don’t worry, we’re not going to see the farce that happened last time!

If you go to maps via then you will get to Multimap. So at least now if you go to maps.live.com you’ll actually be going to the site you wanted to go to in the first place.

In India, the exchange rate is 28 cents for each rupee. That's why travel to China is expected to go up almost 13 and a half percent.Trips to India could jump 13 percent, but ultimately travelers fear the dollar's poor performance internationally will force people to think twice."I think in the long run, once they reevaluate it, they're still gonna want to travel cause the benefits outweigh the costs," said Rogers.Even with the higher exchange rates, travel to Europe will go up this summer where Americans are expected to pay just under six percent more for anything they purchase.

An unpleasant burning sensation rising from your stomach, through your chest to your throat. This is the heartburn feeling that people with acid reflux often experience. It is caused by acid backwashing from the stomach and breaking the barrier between the stomach and the esophagus. If this condition persists the sufferer may find that their esophagus becomes scarred and can result in equally unpleasant choking feelings occurring. As with a large number of medical conditions and diseases, modifying one's diet can be the best way to treat acid reflux. Eating the correct acid reflux diet is often preferable to the kinds of treatments that are required when the condition becomes more severe such as surgery or taking prescribed medication.

CULTURE WATCH by Nancy MorganThe powers that be have decreed that homosexuality and all its variations are normal, and woe to anyone who dares question this alternate lifestyle. Homosexuality has been added to the list of topics, along with race and global warming, that is off limits for discussion. The debate has been declared over.Homosexuality, which not very long ago was defined as a "disorder" in medical journals, is well on its way to becoming a lifestyle option. Despite the fact that it is based on a premise which has been thoroughly discredited.The normalization of homosexuality has its genesis in 1948, when Alfred Kinsey published the first ever study of male human sexuality. Entitled the Kinsey Report, this research involved illegal sexual experimentation on several hundred youn

Some of the best companies in the world are part of the Dividend Aristocrats list, published by S&P. Corporations that have consistently increased their dividends for at least a quarter of a century make the cut in this elite index.Recently I stumbled upon this document (opens as a pdf file), which shows historical changes in the S&P Dividend Aristocrats list from 1989 to 2004.You can see that in 1989, the number of companies was only 26. Only 7 of the original companies still remain in the index. The companies are: DOV, EMR, JNJ, KO, LOW, MMM and PG.In 2004, the number of Dividend Aristocrats rose to 56. Currently there are 60 companies in the index. The percentage of companies that remain in the index after 10 years is about 30%. There have been about 116 companies that have gone

I'm going to admit something really lame right now. For a while I was feeling pretty down about this whole blogging deal. Every time I had a post that got no comments I would feel a little sad. I would be bummed if I checked my stats and I had a slow day. (I feel stupid even typing that out.) i would think things like "I would like to do this with my blog but I'm not popular enough." and "I would like to do that with my blog but no one would even read it."How stupid is that? It finally occurred to me that it doesn't matter how many people are reading my blog. If I want to do something new with it then I should. If I want my blog to be something other than what it is then I have to make it that way and it doesn't matter if I have one reader or one million. I'm not blogging for stats, I'm bl

Beautiful weather has held steady over the region for the past week. This period encompassed our first two 80+ degree days of the year. The one thing lacking was rainfall.

This blocking is soon to be interupted however, by an intensifying jet stream that will blast into the region early next week.Tomorrow night, front will lift back north, introducing warm air advection.

Ever wondered why some people manage to keep their weight off easily and others just pile it all back on when they stop that new diet? The answer is easy; it comes down to one simple change.People who keep their weight loss off change tiny things in their daily life. Instead of full fat milk they have skimmed, they grill rather than fry and they choose to reduce the amount of cheese, cream, cakes and biscuits they eat, every single day.Now you are immediately going to say that that is lots of changes not just one. To some degree you would be correct, but not completely.If you look at a photograph it is one small picture but when looked at closely, it is made up of thousands of pixels. One small sugar cube is made up of hundreds of sugar grains, and a handkerchief consists of numerous cotto
The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) has called on the government to change the way the state helps those who incur mortgage arrears on their mortgage due to unemployment.With the current economic situation there is a possibility we will see rising unemployment over the next 12 months. The CML say hat the current situation is unacceptable as it takes to long for state aid to be granted.The current DSS rules give the borrower no financial assistance for the first 9 months in the event of involuntary unemployment, assist only the interest element of the monthly payment after 9 months and give very limited assistance in the event of accident or sickness.When you have such a large loan as a mortgage not being repaid a lender can not wait 9 months for the borrower to start making payments and

Web traffic rankings site Alexa.com (a division of Amazon) has finally changed it's ranking system.

Although the service has been popular with smaller sites, which don't qualify for Nielsen rankings, critics have long argued that Alexa's reliance on data from toolbar users skewed the results and created biased rankings. Alexa rankings data that dates beyond the previous nine months will no longer be available, but in the company blog Alexa reported ongoing plans to adjust historical data too.

Aamir Khan’s production of Delhi Belly seems to be undergoing a lot of pre-production belly-aches…not a strange occurrence for Mr Khan. Remember the changes Taare Zameen Par (TZP) went through as it made its journey from Amole Gupte to Aamir Khan?While the directorial responsibility in TZP changed when the film was almost complete, Delhi Belly has changed directors even before the shooting has started. The original choice to direct Aamir Khan’s quirky and crisp sex comedy was the Swedish director Robert Nylund. No more so. The film has a new director and probably a new language as well.Says a source close to the project, “Robert Nylund has been replaced by Abinay Deo who is veteran actors Ramesh and Seema Deo’s younger son(the elder one, Ajinkya Deo, is a recognizable Marathi and

There were dramatically different accounts of what will happen to the sponsorship system in Qatar in Gulf Times and the Peninsula today.According to the Gulf Times there is to be little change in the sponsorship law, and expatriates hoping for liberalisation of sponsership rules - which currently break international conventions, and have been criticised by the US as encouraging people trafficking - will be disappointed.One of the so-called changes, removing the right of the employer to retain the employees passport, was already included in Qatar Labour Law, and in any case makes little difference when the employee does not have the right to leave the country without an exit permit.Intriguingly, the Peninsula has a completely different interpretation:"The exit permit system is all set to be
