Any.DO Moment helps you plan and map out your day in a few simple taps

The popular task management app Any.DO has just been updated to support a new feature called Any.DO Moment which makes it easier than ever to plan your day. Each morning, you'll be asked to take a moment to plan your day. Any.DO Moment will then go through the tasks you have set for today and let you choose what you'd like to do with them. Any.DO then updates itself accordingly.

Upon launching Any.DO Moment, you'll be presented with tasks one task at a time and you have a few options. You can keep them on your list for today, move them to tomorrow, mark them as done, or delete them. If you choose to keep them on today, you can then choose a time increment such as morning, afternoon, evening, or custom. Moving them to tomorrow or later gives you more specified time increments to choose from as well.

Anyone can add tasks to a list but that doesn't always mean they'll get done. Any.DO Moment aims to change that by letting you concentrate more on the things that are important right now and moving the rest to a future date. This was easy enough under the regular Any.DO system but the Moment feature actually makes planning your day painless and quite enjoyable. Once you've run through Any.DO Moment for the day, you'll notice that your lists in Any.DO are now updated to reflect what you've chosen for each task with Any.DO Moment.

You can access Any.DO Moment at any time from the Settings menu. Any.DO will ask you each morning to take a moment to plan your day as long as you have notifications enabled. If you later decide that you need to make some changes, you can either do them manually by shuffling around your task list or you can launch Any.DO Moment again and move things accordingly.

The concept is intriguing and if you have a nasty habit of forgetting to check your task lists, Any.DO Moment may be the perfect solution.

Last December, the car manufacturer announced that it would invest $773 million for the modernization of its Dearborn Stamping plant and add four press lines to manufacture its next generation F-series trucks. The company said it would also refit its plant in Michigan to increase its production for small cars.

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) also announced last year, that it would invest in three other plants including Van Dyke Transmission Plant, Livonia Transmission Plant and Sterling Axle Plant.

London in the mist: Thick fog blankets the east as Britain wakes up to frosty but beautiful morning

• Early morning cloud hung over River Thames obscuring the city's landmarks and reducing visibility to 15m
• Poor visibility due to fog also caused problems at Heathrow Airport where 63 flights were cancelled
• The Met Office said today's temperatures will reach up to 8C at the tip of Cornwall

A thick layer of fog blanketed London and the east of England today as the nation's capital appeared to be transformed into a JMW Turner landscape.

As commuters went to work, an early morning cloud hung over the River Thames obscuring the city's landmarks and reducing visibility to around 15 metres.

The shroud stretched from Yorkshire in the north to Kent in the south.

Poor visibility due to fog also caused problems at Heathrow Airport where 63 flights were cancelled. The 31 arrivals and 32 departures were scheduled for between 6am and 11am, a Heathrow spokeswoman said.

There were also severe disruptions at London City Airport and both airports have advised passengers to check with their airlines.

London City posted on its website: 'Due to low visibility this morning, flights to and from London City airport are experiencing disruptions.'

The Met Office had issued a yellow fog warning covering large parts of the country yesterday which was in force until 11am today. The east coast and East Anglia saw the worst of it, while pockets of Devon were also affected.

However, forecaster Sarah Holland said: 'There has been thick fog and in some places freezing fog, but this is expected to clear by late morning. It has stretched from eastern parts up to Yorkshire, the east Midlands and London and the south east.'

She added that the focus for the rest of the week will be on cold and dry weather across the UK.

'It has been very dry for the last few days and that is set to continue for the next few days.

'Temperatures will drop off after the mild weekend with most areas seeing daytime temperatures of 4C to 8C, through to the latter part of the week where some areas of the country will see 3C to 4C, which is average or just below for the time of the year.'

The Met Office said today's temperatures will reach up to 8C at the tip of Cornwall with around 6C in western coastal areas. Temperatures in the east will hover between 1C and 4C.

Temperatures will hover around freezing across most of the South tonight. While winds are expected to reach speeds of 25mph in South Western areas making it feel even colder.

Passive Income With Kindle Publishing - ShoeMoney Internet ...

Kindle publishing has been a great way for affiliates to diversify their business. It?s not a magic bullet,? but it can provide consistent, stable income if done correctly. In the affplaybook.com forum we?ve been discussing how to approach Kindle publishing from a business perspective and not an affiliate perspective. There?s an important difference!

Publishing is one of those things that not many affiliates get right. That?s unfortunate because it has the potential to offer mostly passive income after the initial work is done. I wanted to give you some insights into getting started in this post.

What is Kindle Publishing?

Come on, really? Kindle publishing is nothing more than selling a book on the Amazon marketplace. In short ? you write a book, publish it on Amazon, and collect the commissions. Of course, it isn?t quite that easy but still close.

An Affiliate Walked Into a Bar..

?to write a Kindle book?ok, I?m obviously not going to earn much money writing comedy books, but think about how an average affiliate would approach Kindle publishing. They would probably do something with spun content, PLR, cheap overseas writers, etc. To make up for the lack of quality, they would just do hundreds and hundreds of books.

This approach won?t work well, if at all. First, Amazon is pretty strict about the PLR thing. Second, real people will actually review your books. Your books probably won?t get a ton of reviews (at least initially) so if people see a 1 star review you can expect sales to grind to a halt. It?s also safe to assume that Amazon will become stricter on publishers in the future.

Kindle publishing is not something to do unless you are willing to put in the work to make it viable long term. This means (to some of you) it?s going to be boring, you won?t see a lot of money for a while, and it will feel like you aren?t making progress. This is something you build over time that has the potential to last ?forever? with almost no upkeep or maintenance.

What?s the potential?

Will you become a millionaire publishing books on Amazon? Doubtful. Can you make a very steady, and relatively easy 4 and maybe even 5 figures per month? Absolutely! It will take months to get there though. This isn?t like an affiliate campaign where you can hit your first $100/day in a short matter of time.

What do I write about?

You can write about literally anything, but some stuff works better than others. A novel might take you a long time to write, where a basic ?how-to? book might go much faster.

This is key ? You?re not trying to write one magic book to make all your sales. Some of your books will sell well, others will flop. You want to be constantly writing and publishing books. No one single book will generate enough sales to make it worth having just that one. Another benefit of writing lots of books is cross promotional possibilities. You can actually have a significant effect on your books exposure through various promotional efforts in the Kindle marketplace.

Spend some time researching what people write. Download some books and see how they?re structured, how long they are, etc. Keep in mind, a lot of the self published books are crap so don?t necessarily copy their style.

But I hate writing!

This is probably not what you want to hear, but it?s the truth ? you can outsource your writing but it?s not going to work well. The problem is that most books won?t make a ton on their own, so what you would have to pay to have something (of the quality it needs to be) written will be more than the book would potentially make for years.

That doesn?t mean you have to do all the writing yourself. You might be able to partner with someone and each do half, you might have a relative who?s a good writer, etc.

There are tools to make writing faster too, like Dragon Naturally Speaking. Once you get into a good writing rhythm, it actually doesn?t take that long to crank something out.

Not all books need to be super long. Spend some time looking at Kindle books, and you?ll discover some formats that enable you to put a book together relatively fast.

There is so much potential, not just with selling the books themselves but promoting products inside the books and building email lists. All that is stuff for a possible future post! In the meantime, you can read more about Kindle publishing here https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/help

If this sounds interesting to you, I would encourage you to start writing and publishing books asap. You?ll look back on this post in 6 months and be glad you did.

Poole: Cal coach Mike Montgomery's shove is shameful

I don't know how well Mike Montgomery slept Sunday night and Monday morning, but his reputation didn't get a wink.

The Cal basketball coach, whose image is about as wholesome as can be found in the oily business of college hoops, worked up enough fury to shove one of his players during a 76-68 win over USC on Sunday at Haas Pavilion.

It was a sad moment, a shameful episode, a regrettable incident. It put a scar on what has been a remarkable 31-year career as a college head coach.

It also was a no-excuse matter if there ever was one -- even if the victim, junior guard Allen Crabbe, shrugged it off immediately afterward.

Yet there is was, for all to see, Montgomery turning on Crabbe and shoving the star player near the Cal bench. Thousands witnessed it live, and millions more around the globe have seen it or will see it in the coming days.

After initially saying "it worked" and that he'd do it again, if that's what it took to "wake up" Crabbe, Montgomery later issued a statement expressing regret.

"I have great passion for this game and tonight, I let my emotions get away from me in the heat of the moment," the coach said in a statement released around midnight, nearly three hours after the game. "While my intent was to motivate our student-athletes, my behavior was inappropriate and I apologize for my actions."

Athletic director Sandy Barbour also chimed in with a statement indicating intolerance for Montgomery's

behavior while simultaneously expressing her belief that the coach has learned his lesson.

"Sunday's game was an emotional one for everyone who cares deeply about our men's basketball program, and the Bears certainly showed tremendous resolve coming back to earn a win over USC," Barbour said. "However, it is unacceptable for our coaches to have physical contact with student-athletes regardless of the circumstances. The second-half incident was certainly out of character for Mike Montgomery,

and I am confident that something like this will not happen again."

I'd like to be confident, too. I like Mike. I think he's a solid guy and an excellent college basketball coach, even if his work in five seasons at Cal is has not been as impressive as it was during his 18 years at Stanford.

Problem is that Montgomery wants consistent intensity, the ultra-talented Crabbe is not wired to deliver it, and this gets under the coach's skin.

The bigger problem for Montgomery and for Cal is that this has happened before, and not so long ago.

Though the Montgomery-Crabbe scene surely stunned those who witnessed it unfold, it only shocked those who missed a similar incident between Montgomery and another player, guard Justin Cobbs, a few weeks ago.

One such incident should raise eyebrows and result in nothing less than a warning. A second incident, however, sounds an alarm and calls for a measure of discipline to be meted out by Barbour or the Pac-12 Conference. The conference already has issued a reprimand.

Neither the school nor the conference can allow this kind of conduct, nor should they accept it. Cal 20 years ago dumped former coach Lou Campanelli for being abusive, though Lou's alleged abuse was verbal and pushed the team to the brink of revolt.

Campanelli never got another head-coaching job -- and that was before society had evolved to the point of organized and potent anti-bullying messages.

Montgomery is nearly 66 years old. He survived a serious health scare in 2011. He's probably working on his last contract, one that runs through 2015.

And, yes, maybe his tantrum spurred Crabbe, who responded with a game-high 23 points.

But does Montgomery really want to ride into the sunset with diminished dignity, as the coach whose temper ran amok near the end? Like, for example, Ohio State's legendary football coach Woody Hayes?

Or worse, does Mike really want to be shoved into retirement because his own actions left his boss with no alternative?

China's PLA controls hackers: US IT security firm

China's army controls some of the most prolific hackers in the world, according to a new report Tuesday by an Internet security firm that traced a host of cyberattacks to an anonymous building in Shanghai.

China's army controls some of the most prolific hackers in the world, according to a new report Tuesday by an Internet security firm that traced a host of cyberattacks to an anonymous building in Shanghai.

Mandiant said its hundreds of investigations over the past three years showed that groups hacking into US newspapers, government agencies, and companies "are based primarily in China and that the Chinese government is aware of them."

The report focused on one group, which it called "APT1" from the initials "Advanced Persistent Threat," which it said had stolen huge quantities of information and was targeting critical infrastructure such as the US energy grid.

"We believe that APT1 is able to wage such a long-running and extensive cyber espionage campaign in large part because it receives direct government support," Mandiant said.

The group was actually believed to be a branch of the People's Liberation Army, called Unit 61398, and digital signatures from its cyberattacks were traced back to a nondescript, 12-story building on the outskirts of Shanghai, the report said.

A series of brazen IT attacks on America's most high-profile media outlets, reported earlier this month by The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, as well as on Twitter and others, have revived concerns over Chinese hackers.

The New York Times said hackers stole corporate passwords and accessed the personal computers of 53 employees after the newspaper published a report on the family fortune of China's Premier Wen Jiabao.

Clients including The New York Times have hired Mandiant to clean up their systems after cyberattacks blamed on Chinese hackers.

China has roundly rejected claims that it was behind the hacking attacks, with the official People's Daily newspaper hinting instead at ulterior motives by the US government.

THE RESET: Deal to delay spending cuts in doubt

Chances seem to be dwindling for a deal in time to avert deep, automatic government spending cuts from beginning on March 1. The Republican-controlled House remains at loggerheads with the Democratic-led Senate and President Barack Obama over key issues.

With no top-level talks under way and Congress off until next Monday, each side is blaming the other.

The so-called sequester cuts "won't help the economy, won't create jobs, will visit hardship on a whole lot of people," Obama said Tuesday. "Congress didn't come together, do their jobs. And so as a consequence we've got these automatic, brutal spending cuts that are poised to happen next Friday."

Obama wants both more tax revenues and spending cuts.

Congressional Republicans oppose further tax hikes. "Just last month, the president got his higher taxes on the wealthy and he's already back for more," says Republican House Speaker John Boehner.

The scheduled cuts would trim roughly $85 billion from military and domestic spending in this budget year. Spending on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other "entitlement" programs would be spared.

One reason there's little progress toward a deal is that there's yet another deadline ahead? March 27, when a temporary budget agreement expires and Congress must scramble to find funds to run the entire government.

During those negotiations next month, the most damaging automatic sequester cuts could be repealed or softened, the thinking goes. That effectively buys more time. And lawmakers seldom miss chances to put things off.

Meanwhile, deficit hawks Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles are offering a new deficit-reduction plan they see as a possible compromise for Democrats and Republicans.

It combines rewriting the tax code ? to eliminate many deductions ? with deep spending cuts for some $2.4 trillion in deficit-reduction over 10 years.

Of the current impasse, "everybody's at fault," says Simpson, a Republican.

"Not only do we not have a long-range plan, we don't even have a budget," says Democrat Bowles. "We're operating this country on a month-to-month basis."
