3 Ways to Adopt a Healthy Mindset and Lifestyle
If I had a dollar for the amount of times I've had someone tell me "I wish I could eat healthy" or "I wish I could workout like you do". I think I'd be able to buy a new pair of Nike's! I could probably end this post right here by saying the main way to adopt a healthy mindset and lifestyle is to just DO IT!
Trust me I don't always want to eat healthy and I don't always want to workout, I just do it (so many Nike references...umm Nike, where's my check?!) With that being said, I know it isn't that easy for some people. Here are a few ways that I find helpful when aiming to Adopt a Healthy Mindset and Lifestyle.
The first way really isn't to far off from what I mentioned above, and that it to:
#1. Decide to be healthier.
Making a plan or setting a goal to be a healthier person is the first step to becoming one. If you are the person above who continues to say, "I wish I could" without taking any action, let me tell you...wishes are for birthdays and even then you have to take some type of action to make that wish come true. I know we've all heard the quote "don't wish for it, work for it" and that is so real. Make a decision to be healthier and then make a plan of how you will do it.
#2. Create an atmosphere for success.
The next thing to do it to create an atmosphere for success. Do this by removing unhealthy things from your environment and adding in healthier options and routines. If you have a goal to eat healthier, make that goal easier to achieve by removing unhealthy foods from your house and replace them with healthier food options.
If you have a goal to workout more, start by selecting an exercise routine that you enjoy and that you will stick to. Also, schedule this workout into your day like a serious appointment you are more likely to stick to it.
Make sure to start off slow so you won't get burned out too quickly and quit your routine. One of the main reasons that people don't succeed in their healthy lifestyle and fitness goals is they quit too soon. Change takes time, create a process and stick with it.
#3. Believe in yourself.
The last thing you can do to adopt a healthy lifestyle and mindset, is to believe you are already the healthiest person you know. I know personally when I tell myself that I am healthy I make healthier choices. Most of this process is really all in your mind.
The next time you are stuck between a rock and a hard place or a donut and an apple, remind yourself that you are now leading a healthy lifestyle and the apple fits more into your new lifestyle than the donut. After a little while of doing this, it will become second nature. BUT every once in a while choose the donut, that is the difference between it being a lifestyle and just a "diet".
I hope you find these tips useful in helping you adopt a healthy lifestyle and mindset.
Can you add any tips to my list?

Check In-Store Availability
DWL-8500AP Wireless Switching 108 AG Access Point is a high-performance wireless access device that provides up to 108Mbps transmission rates and flexible dualband wireless connectivity. The DWL-8500AP delivers concurrent wireless performance with maximum wireless signal rates in both frequency bands simultaneously. With dualband connectivity, two wireless networks are created both running at full bandwidth speeds, offering a significant increase in total network capacity. At the same time, the DWL-8500AP remains fully backward compatible with the 802.11b standard in the 2.4GHz frequency.With transmission speeds of up to 108Mbps (Turbo mode) on both frequency bands, the DWL-8500AP is an ideal solution for bandwidth intensive WLAN application. In a typical working environment with multiple users accessing the network at the same time, the DWL-8500AP can operate at double times the throughput of regular 802.11g wireless LAN equipment.For maximum coverage, the DWL-8500AP can be placed at out-of-the-way locations such as on a ceiling or a high wall, where AC outlets are inaccessible and providing power to these locations is difficult and expensive.DWL-8500AP plays a key role in rogue detection. It continuously scans both frequency bands and their associated channels to root out rogues while simultaneously providing wireless connectivity to mobile clients. If a rogue is detected, the closest DWL-8500AP can launch RF counter measures by spoofing 802.11 control messages. This prevents clients from communicating, associating and authenticating with a rogue.

DescriptionD-Link's DWL-8500AP Unified Wireless AG Access Point provides seamless roaming and PoE support so that your business network is fast, secure and reliable.The D-Link® Unified Wired/Wireless Switching solution provides an innovative evolution in wireless LAN. Complex installations, intricate management utilities and limited scalability had previously made network administrators hesitant to deploy facility-wide wireless LAN. Now, D-Link Unified Wired/Wireless Switching architecture simplifies installation. In addition, access security, wireless throughput and network convergence is significantly enhanced. Benefactors of this Wi-Fi® innovation include IT integrators, network administrators, business end-users, government organizations, schools, hospitals, and hotspots such as convention halls, hotels and airports.
Dual Band Wireless Access Point
The DWL-8500AP operates on simultaneous dual 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands. This system provides automatic adjustment of 802.11a/b/g RF channels, multiple SSID for each frequency band, and optimal transmit power to provide mobile users with high quality, secure wireless signals.
Uninterrupted Wireless Connectivity
The system maintains a centralized database of wireless user's access information such as their MAC addresses and authentication keys. As wireless users roam around the office using wireless equipment, they may change their connection from AP to AP. By constantly monitoring the AP status, the switch can establish AP-to-AP roaming for these users without requiring them to re-establish authentication keys. This fast roaming process results in disruption-free, reliable wireless connectivity crucial for mobile applications such as Wi-Fi® IP phone and wireless PDA connection. In addition to updating information of APs managed by the same switch, the system also supports AP information updates across multiple peer switches. As a wireless user moves from one AP affiliated to a switch to another AP connected to another switch, inter-switch roaming is instantly performed across the peer switches to produce a smooth, fast wireless connection in a multi-departmental enterprise environment.
Unified AP
The DWL-8500AP can be configured either as managed or standalone APs. In managed mode, the switch automatically discovers and centrally manages the APs. Furthermore, all the configuration files and security settings are pushed to the APs, significantly reducing IT overhead as the WLAN network scales up. With WLAN, users have the mobility to move around the network; therefore the authentication and user tracking are executed on the Unified Switch with a consolidated and secure wireless system. They can also act as standalone APs depending on the application or network condition.
Captive Portal
Apart from the wireless encryption standards, the Unified Switch offers an additional level of security called "Captive Portal". Captive Portal is a web-based authentication process in which the wireless clients request for access through the web browser. The AP or switch port captures HTTP/HTTPS traffic and then re-directs the client to an authentication portal. Once the username and password of the client has been authenticated by either the switch or the RADIUS server, access is granted. Captive Portal is SSID-based and supports fast roaming, making it an ideal security solution.
Automatic Channel and Power Adjustment
Normally, when adding APs to the network, system administrators select the unoccupied or least used RF channels to avoid interference with other AP and RF devices. They also set transmitter output power at a level, strong enough for RF signals to reach wireless clients, but weak enough to minimize interference with other devices' RF signals. To simplify this process and optimize RF usage, the switch automatically adjusts the RF channels and transmitter output power of the entire system every time an AP is added to or removed from the network. This automatic adjustment can be programmed to take effect at a certain time or at specified intervals, minimizing the need for network administrator to manually intervene.

Jade Hatt a then 20 year old UK babysitter who had been looking after an eleven year old boy has been spared jail after the child's father told a court his son saw it as a 'notch on his belt.'
According to a report via the Swindon Advertiser, Hatt stripped off and took off the 'sex mad' boy's clothes, straddled him before they had sex for 45 seconds.
But the victim's father, who had a previous sexual relationship with Hatt, defended her, insisting that his son had welcomed the engagement that took place last November, adding that his son was 'fully up for this experience'.
Told prosecutor Hannah Squire at Swindon Crown Court: 'The boy was laying down, Jade Hatt sat on top of him, sat astride him, took off her clothes and removed his.'
'In his words she started bouncing on his private parts. Sexual intercourse took place. According to him it was fairly brief: about 45 seconds. She told him she enjoyed it, he said he had not as it was wrong.'
Leading into court, the girl pleaded guilty to sexual activity with a child, saying that the boy had told her he was 15 even though his father had previously told her his real age.
Rather than sending the girl to jail, a judge issued a suspended sentence of six months on the grounds that Hatt was 'immature' while her victim was unusually mature, which 'narrows the arithmetic age gap'.
Along with a suspended sentence, Hatt was ordered to register as a sex offender for seven years, and banned from having unsupervised contact with young boys.
Reacting to the sentence, Lyndon Harris, an editor for the UK Criminal Law Blog, told Buzzfeed the judge's ruling seemed appropriate — if not generally unusual. He explained, 'This seems to be the sort of case where if you've got a sensible judge you look to rehabilitate rather than punish – though [Jade] certainly needs to be punished, it's not acceptable behavior.'
Yet that's not the way child protection services, NSPCC saw it, releasing the following statement: 'The judge's comments in this case send out completely the wrong message and confirm a common view in society that the abuse of a young boy by a woman is somehow less serious than the abuse of a girl by a man.
'The offender in this case has escaped extremely lightly and you have to wonder whether, in the same circumstances, a man would have been treated the same'.
'It beggars belief that Tim Mousley QC could say that the 11 year old victim's maturity and the abuser's immaturity "narrowed the age gap" and was reason to step outside the sentencing guidelines, and sends a deeply worrying signal.'
The incident has raised debate on the web with many arguing had the genders been reversed, Hatt would most certainly likely be heading off to jail whilst others wondered if it was simply the father who was championing the engagement as a feat that his son ought to be 'proud of.'
At stake is the assertion that males by nature are more sexually assertive than females and thus always game for the hunt (never mind an eleven year old child whom one wonders is simply too young to understand that they are being preyed on) and should always be grateful when any opportunity comes, especially if that opportunity is one's babysitter….

A little short but sweet summary of my Sunday. Tomorrow my Dad & little Brother are heading back to Turkey so we spent the day car shopping as my Dad knows best! We didn't have much luck though so have decided not to rush into anything for now. I also spotted Boots whilst we were out & I couldn't resist the 3 for 2 offer on Bourjois so picked up a few new products to try out. The rest of the day we enjoyed lots of coffee & went to the carvery down the road for a Sunday roast which was yum. I'm so so sad to see my family leaving, it's something I find really hard to deal with as I'm a massive daddy's girl & my little brother is my whole world. I'm just grateful I get to see them when I do but I still wish I could see them daily!

Very interesting to see that Atlassian are going to buy Trello for $425m. Crikey – 19 million users in a few short years is pretty impressive and I'm sure it will be great for Atlassian.
It reminded me of when we adopted Trello at Redgate – it spread like wildfire through the organisation. I don't know who picked it up first, or from where, but within a week or two there were countless conversations, "You have to check out this new Trello thing – it's great!". And next thing you know, everyone's using it, or at least tried it.
What's the point – that everyone loves great product? Of course. The point is that, from a marketing perspective, what you've got here is people doing your job for you (raising awareness of your product, recommending it) for absolutely free. That's a pretty good return on marketing investment. And how do they do that? By creating a product that over-delivers on the promises they're making. When you try it out (which is, of course, very easy on a free version or free trial – you don't have to argue with a sales rep before you get to see the thing), you're actually more impressed with the product than you thought you'd be.
We're all used to the opposite. You hear about a product, or find it through Google, and read the blurb – lots of claims about great functionality, ease-of-use, everything you'll ever need. Then you try the thing – and it disappoints. Bits of obvious functionality aren't there; usability is poor; a feeling of being hoodwinked in to something. I've rarely found in this situation that I'm willing to recommend that product – certainly not pro-actively, but even when asked "Would you use X?" (I've got an example below from this week even). Nobody recommends a poor product because it reflects badly on themselves – you don't want someone coming back to you in a few weeks saying "Why did you recommend that piece of crap? Don't you know what a great product is? I've wasted hours on it".
Here are examples of products over-delivering, being about right, and under-delivering:
- Over-delivering. Well, I would say this, but a key part of Redgate's business model is that the products are better than what we say. Our marketing claims are pretty modest (maybe it's a British thing), but we consistently find when talking to customers that they are enormously impressed by the free trials. Comments like "So easy to use", "I kept finding great things that it did!", "Surprised at how complete the product is", "You're going to have to prise this out of my cold, dead hands". Then separately, when we asked customers last year "How did you first hear about Redgate?", the number one response is "Recommended by a friend or colleague". As a marketing department, we couldn't ask for more.
- On-par. I've just bought a Chronos – a disc that attaches to the back of your existing watch for fitness tracking etc. It basically does exactly what it says on the website! No more, no less. I'm happy with that (I don't feel conned). If someone asks whether it's any good, I'll say Yes. I'm probably not going to effuse about the thing on social media, but it does what it says on the tin.
- Under-deliver. We're starting to use HubSpot more aggressively at Redgate (more on that in later posts). It sells itself very strongly – essentially a platform that allows you to manage all of your marketing activity in one place, report on success, optimise, send emails, manage and nurture leads etc etc. So far I've been nothing but disappointed – and the issue is the delta between the claims and what it actually does. It claims to have a full reporting suite – but it's severely lacking in functionality. It claims to be easy to set up nurturing programs – it just isn't. Every area I try, I hit blocks ("Why can't I do that? Surely I can?") or usability issues ("What, I need to re-enter those details by hand manually?" or similar).
In the third case, someone asked me this week what marketing platforms I'd recommend. My answer "We're using HubSpot, but I'm not particularly happy with it – I'd try the market leaders (Marketo, Pardot) first." So I'm recommending products I've never seen, over the incumbent.
HubSpot isn't completely terrible – to me, it feels like a v1.0, with obvious areas for improvement. We'll persist and work around it's faults. But the point is – they're not going to get free marketing from me recommending the tool, because recommendations are generally based on actual usage, not on advertising blurb.
To finish, there's an obvious point here that often, as a marketing department, you have the product you have, you may not have the influence to get the product changes that you want, so you've got to sell what you've got. And you certainly can't go out with a message "It's okay I guess. It's got some quirks and the competition is better, but hey, why not give it a go anyway?". You'd get fired. But, you should have influence on the product – if it really is a nightmare to use, if it's really unclear how it works in-product, if the bit of functionality that's missing is the one thing that all of your customers are asking for – you need to petition to get that stuff fixed. In simplistic dollar terms, is $20,000 spent on advertising worse or better than $20,000 on a UX engineer to fix some of the obvious usability flaws in the product?

The coders among you will appreciate this: Can we teach debugging? The post talks about debugging as a programmer-specific application of the scientific method, and suggests that we should do a better job of teaching it. I agree. In fact, I was shocked to realize that this was the first time I can recall anyone actually defining "the scientific method" for me. I've never been anything but a scientist, but evidently the philosophy of science wasn't core curriculum in my schools.

A year after the release of Frodo, the XBMC team has just announced the launch of the first beta version of XBMC 13 by the code name of Gotham. A version that includes many new features but also marks the end of support for Windows XP.
At the novelty , Gotham improves the fluidity on less powerful platforms like the Raspberry Pi and Android devices. On this same point, the big news comes mainly from the hardware acceleration support on Android smartphones and tablets (4.0 Jelly Bean and higher) with an ARM or x86 processor . To conclude on this point, the management of gestures is also in the agenda, it will now also be possible to browse your uPnP library from your smartphone / tablet and play the video on your PC , just like the idea of Chromecast or AirPlay.
Other important changes that are also emerging , is the 3D with 3D SBS encoded support, TAB, anaglyph and interlaced movies. However still no Blu- ray 3D support and no hardware acceleration for movies in Full SBS / TAB. The team tells us at the same time some important improvements on the Audio Engine.
For a complete list of changes and download the XBMC 13 Gotham Beta1, go to xbmc.org.

The first of five dynamic parking lot attendant booths that transform the mundane into public art is now open. Titled Coney Island, the first booth is located in the parking lot of the The Westin Columbus–Great Southern Hotel in downtown Columbus just east of the corner of South High and East Main streets. The Bold Booths project combines art and function in one-of-a-kind installations unique to Columbus, Ohio. This pioneering project is an extension of Finding Time: ColumbusPublicArt2012. The innovative parking attendant booths will not only provide shelter for attendants, but will spark community dialogue about the role design plays in expanding the social capital within the city. Coney Island was designed by Knowlton School Associate Professor of Architecture Beth Blostein and Architecture Lecturer Bart Overly of Blostein/Overly Architects. The name is an homage to the legendary Southern Theatre.

After the phone conference of the executive committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), it became known that the IOC would not facilitate any international competitions in Russia.
In addition, the IOC urged international federations for winter sports to freeze preparations for any competitions that were planned to take place in Russia.
"Due to the detailed mention of the manipulation of the samples at the Olympic winter games in Sochi, the IOC asked the International Federation of winter sports to suspend the preparations for the major events in Russia, in particular, world Championships, world Championships and other major international competitions.
The preliminary measures are valid until 31 December 2016. They will be revised by the Executive Committee of the IOC at the meeting in December of 2016
The IOC will not engage in the organization or patronage of any sporting events or meetings. This includes plans to hold the European Games in 2019," said in a statement published on the official website of the IOC.
Therefore, a stage of the Grand Prix in Figure Skating will not take place in Moscow, as it was initially scheduled for November 2016.

Better Business Bureau warns about a new scam involving bank checks sent in the mail made out to the addressee.
BBB representatives told us, a check would come with instructions to cash it and then mail some of the money back to the sender.
The check would probably be for a large sum. It would take a couple of days for a bank to cash. And when it turned out illegitimate, the bank would go after the person who cashed it to recover the losses.
"And your bank will take the funds back and hold you responsible for those funds," said Sheryl Bilbrey with BBB.
BBB advised if you do not expect a check in the mail and receive one from someone you don't know, you should throw it away.

4 Things to Consider When Buying a Car
Buying a car can be exciting and frustrating at the same. Exciting in that you are going to have a new experience with the car you are buying and frustrated especially when you don't know where to begin or what to look for. Lucky for you here are 4 things you should consider when buying a car.
Your needs
This is a very important consideration to make, make sure the car you buy will serve you efficiently and effectively. Consider your family needs; the car you buy should cater for all your family transportation needs. Things like its capacity and comfort-ability should be given priority. What you need will inform you of what car type and model you ought to buy.
The Best Jeep Cars you want to buy should be within your budget. We are all tempted to get those nice looking cars when we visit the dealership but their prices are sometimes way above what we can afford. By budget am not only talking about the car selling price but also how much it is going to cost you to maintain it once you buy it. Some cars are known to have high operation and maintenance cost. Make sure you consider all those costs before deciding on what car to buy.
Used or New
You need decide on whether you want to buy a new or a used car. Most car dealers have a combination of both so it will mostly depend on how much you are willing to spend on the car. New cars are always recommended because of the updated features by the manufacturer but that should not mean used cars are bad. There are a number of dealers that sell really good used cars, just make sure you take for a test drive and ensure it has the important safety features like airbags and anti-lock brakes.
Do your research
This may seem rather obvious but actually it isn't. Don't just go to the dealership without knowing what you want and the price range. Do your research either online or getting information from others. Get to know the type of cars available at the dealership and at what price. Make calls before visiting the place. It will save you the trouble of going to a particular dealership only to find what you want is not available. Knowing the price range will also help when negotiating with the Top 5 Toyota Cars sales guy.
Make sure you thoroughly check the car both inside and outside before possessing it. It you have any concerns then inform the salesperson about them. It may be difficult to address such issues once you possess and leave with the car.

Buy Amish Paste tomato seeds here. How to grow these foot long wonders. At 8-12 inches from stem to blossom end, this may be the largest paste tomato in cultivation.
Buy Tomato Amish Paste, 1 Pkt.(25 Seeds) or 3 Plants
Amish Paste is an open pollinated Pennsylvania Dutch variety which is prized for its disease resistance and long season of production.
The indeterminate vines will grow to 8 feet tall by the end of the season so use a sturdy staking system or strong, tall cages.
The vines begin to crank out heavy crops of heirloom paste tomatoes roughly 80 days from the time the first flower appears.
The tomatoes vary in size and shape. You will have both plum and heart-shaped 8-12 ounce fruit on the same plant. The large size of these nearly seedless tomatoes makes them a joy to cook with.
They are more flavorful than most paste tomatoes and make a delightful tomato sauce. They are juicy enough to eat fresh but also dry beautifully.
Amish Paste vines do not bear their entire crop at once but will produce until stopped by frost.
This is one of the few large-fruited tomatoes which grows well in high heat. The plants will grow right through a Texas summer. However, production will slow. It will pick back up as soon as night temps drop back into the 80s.

General Cruger was an ally of Hans Kesar's. It turned out that he had ordered the VETACs to come and had killed soldiers who interfered or did anything wrong. He was killed by Darkling who saw him strangle an innocent soldier and sacrificed his life.
He modelled a chess set for Hans Kesar (or Gerhart Rutger) during their stay. He left the King, who was Kesar, with a blank face.
He ordered VETAC robots to pull away before the war, which may have caused more conflicts. (PROSE: Dreams of Empire)

For some people, a car expresses the essence of their being. To others, it's an object to get from point A to point B. We offer a variety of coverages and companies to choose from, based on your specific needs and we make sure we find and apply every auto insurance discount and offer you the best policy to fit your needs.
Colorado Car Insurance
All Colorado drivers are required to carry auto insurance. That might be why you see so many ads for auto coverage. Many large insurance companies advertise low rates, but will their policies help you get back on the road in the event of an accident? As a locally owned, independent insurance agency, Richards, Seeley & Schaefer focuses on more than low premium rates. We work closely with our customers, many of whom are our friends and neighbors, to provide affordable car insurance that meets individual needs.
Your Auto Insurance Options
As an independent insurance agency, Richards, Seeley & Schaefer shops around for our customers. Our extensive network of top-rated carriers has something for everyone. We also take the time to get to know you. Once we understand your concerns as well as the discounts that you and your family may be eligible to receive, we will provide you with a free quote.
There's no such thing as one-size-fits-all auto insurance. We'll discuss with you the benefits and drawbacks of a variety of limits, deductibles and coverage options. This way you can make a more informed decision concerning your auto coverage.
Available Car Insurance Policies
Available vehicle coverage in the state of Colorado begins with standard coverage, a policy that meets only the legal minimums. Most insurance customers, however, need a more extensive policy to protect them, their vehicles and their passengers in the event of an accident. Our agency offers policies that cover:
- Extended liability coverage to pay for damages to another vehicle and medical treatment for the other driver plus any passengers
- Collision coverage to pay for accident-related damages to your own vehicle
- Comprehensive coverage to pay for non-accident-related damages to your vehicle
- Rental reimbursement to help you get back on the road as soon as possible following an accident
- Towing and roadside assistance for your convenience and personal safety
Depending on the company you choose, you can get discounts for:
- Being a Good Driver
- Being a Good Student
- Driving a Safe Car
- Having a Homeowner's Policy with your auto insurance carrier
Other advantages you could enjoy:
- Free Windshield Repair
- 24-Hour Claims Hotline
- Guarantee on Repairs
- Flexible Payment Options
Advantages vary from company to company, and some require the purchase of certain coverages. We'll review your options with you to find the company and coverage that are right for you.

Our mission is to equip the body of Christ to fulfill God's original intent for their lives; to receive the broken and bound so they can be saved, healed, and delivered; to send out trained teams of believers locally and internationally to bring Kingdom order; and to intercede daily with the Father's heart for our city, nation, and world.
Our vision is to be an obedient, visible expression of Jesus Christ in the earth and to be a bridge for all races and nations to know Christ and enter into the Kingdom of God.
Cornerstone Christian Center was founded in January of 1992, under the leadership of Pastors James and Frances Autry.
Cornerstone held its first services at the Young Men's Business Club in Westwego. After several months at this location we were blessed to be able to rent the gymnasium at Concordia Lutheran School in Marrero.
We remained at this location for approximately ten years. During this time, faithful men and women moved equipment in and moved equipment out. Chairs were set up and chairs were taken down. Nursery items were brought in and nursery items were taken out. While this was difficult, we truly learned what team work and the servant heart of Christ were all about.
While we desired to have a building to call our own, we recognized that God was at work building a spiritual house. We also learned that church is truly more than a building. In His time, God miraculously provided land for us to build on. In July of 1996, we found the property for our current facility. While property in this area is at a premium, we paid only $47,000 for almost five acres! We know the Lord gave us this property and it is truly dedicated to Him.
After paying off the land, the process of building plans, permitting and construction began. There were many hurdles to get over, many hours of work by all of us, but finally the new facility was completed.
In April 2001, Cornerstone moved into its present location. We continue to possess and occupy the land that God has given us. We also look forward to future expansion with other buildings and parking.
We give all the praise to the Lord for His wonderful provision and continued blessing.

Building the SmugSunday, April 9th, 2017
It all started quite promisingly with 'Grand Designs'. An occasional fix of outlandish property porn fronted by the urbane Kevin; surely one of the twenty first century's most influential figures when it comes to design. A whole generation now aspire to underfloor heating and sheep's wool loft insulation thanks to our Kev.
Kevin ain't getting any younger though. His boyish locks, luxuriant in the early shows, have gradually greyed and shrunk. As his bank balance has increased, his teeth have gotten more perfect and his casual jackets more designery. He's become more shiny, self-assured and, I believe, a tad complacent in that "I'm at the top of my game" way which eventually affects the Star Host. [ Cf Ross, Wogan, Titchmarsh etc, etc yawn ]. Kevin may now, at least partly, believe his own publicity and it is the programme commissioners who are to blame.
There is a whole generation of TV People who, it would seem, have all done the "How to Build on Success" module as part of their Media Studies degree. The secret to building the ratings is basically 'more of the same'. If that slick quiz with the dramatic lighting effects and pulsing synthesiser soundtrack pulls in the punters primetime, make another version! [ Only much cheaper and shove it on every day at teatime when you've got a captive audience of overstimulated schoolkids and semi-comatose pensioners ]. "That Antiques Roadshow has been doing well for fifty years. I know, let's make a cheaper version for the unwashed masses. They can flog all the old tat they would've taken to the boot sale and we can get that nice Scottish lady that everyone loves to coo over everything." "That Simon Cowell is on to something, let's make a talent show with a twist! How about punk pensioners / garage grandads or hip hop hooray henrys? We need to workshop this in the thought pod on the sixth floor – bring your ipad Tristan."
Gradually, the clone TV sausage machine has filled the schedules with different versions of the same thing. The presenters change, the music is tweaked, the budget heads ever southwards but it's basically the same idea.
So now it's not just Kevin. It's Caroline and Piers swanning around the globe in search of ever more iconic houses. "Yes, we've found a mountaintop mansion made from marble helicoptered in during a snowstorm!" It's George – ( he's an 'Arkytec' you know ) – he sheds a tear as you re-tell the story of your war wound / emotional loss / chronic constipation that lead you to buy this pile of rubble and mortgage your spleen to do it up. How about Grand Designs in half an hour? We can get that scouse bird off Brookside to pritt stick the B&Q wallpaper onto the ensuite during the commercials. Film it fast and no-one will see it fall off when we get the hell out by teatime. And so it goes on, more property shows. Always 'Will they do it in time?', 'The doubtful host', 'The Reveal', 'How much is it worth'? Zzzzzzz.
Kevin may be on the downslope. He's no doubt, paying an army of pre-Brexit Eurobuilders to construct his porcelain retirement complex on a sunny hillside somewhere. He may have peaked. That mansion made of mud a few series back was big enough to be seen from space without magnification. Grand Designs has spawned many many progeny.
Least attractive of these is "Building the Dream". A half-baked concept about half-baked houses. The owners pretend that they haven't already ordered the avocado shower tray and Diamonique pedal bin. They call in 'Architectural Designer' Charlie to 'advise' on how to make their dream home even more dreamy. Charlie rocks up wearing an anorak and looking smug. They all sit round the table in their caravan (they spent the entire ice age there you know) and Charlie doodles a few ideas on their expensive CAD drawings with his Pentel. The rest of the show is a gradual revelation that they've ignored everything Charlie suggested and stayed true to their original snot green vision. Charlie returns, even smugger than before and pretends not to be bothered. He does a little Kevin-style homily at the end (though never as sanctimoniously as RevKev) and then walks off to collect his fee and do a closing smugshot. Meanwhile the owners fester in their mucous mansion looking equally smug. Everybody's happy and the viewers hit ebay for bargain bogey shower trays.

They're building a new metro line passing through Centraal Station in Amsterdam. What better opportunity than to use the temporary hoardings surrounding the construction site to display the work of young artists. Even cleverer is to provide downloadable copies of the works displayed. The one pictured above is a detail from Stefan Glerum's history of Vincent Van Gogh's life.
Empty modern monument awaits ancient contentsFriday, November 17th, 2006
Q: What do you do with an empty massive white plastic dome in the centre of London?
A: Keep it empty for 7 years and then rent it out to an exhibition of ancient Egyptian artifacts.
Currently packing them in in Chicago, 'King Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs' is due to arrive at the Millenium Dome in London in twelve months. In 1972 1.6 million people queued around the block and the clock at the British Museum to see the pharaonic plunderings of Carter and Carnarvon. It was the most successful exhibition in Britain ever and I missed it because in those days a trip to London was more akin to visiting Turkmenistan never mind Tutankhamun and, anyway, I was more interested in acquiring my next Airfix fix than spending hours queuing up to see a load of gold stuff belonging to a dead bloke. Such simple tastes in my youth. [ Angel Delight anyone? ] So, it was with mounting excitement that I learned of the the impending arrival of what seemed like a new Tutankhamun blockbuster in London. The website has a pretty commercial feel. Would a scholarly outfit include the phrase, "Give the gift of King Tut" on their homepage? I think not. Sadly, reading more widely reveals that there have been mixed reviews for this show. Many have been lured by the marketing materials which feature an image remarkably similar in appearance to the gold death mask which has become emblematic of Tutankhamun and ancient Egypt to some degree. [The item featured is actually a mini coffin which was a travel case for King T's liver]. Many have been expectant that this is a repeat of the 1970s show, "For the first time in 30 years..", runs the strapline. From what I've read, this is nothing on the scale of what I missed all those years ago. But having looked around the online virtual tour I think it may still be worth a look. I just won't expect it to make up for what I didn't see in 1972. I remember they were saying at the time that it was a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity. This of course was in the days before low cost air travel. Does easyjet fly to Cairo?

Looks like everyone seems to have gotten into Phablets and the latest entrant into the Phablet league is Nokia. Recently in the Nokia World event in Abu Dhabi, Nokia unveiled many devices into its line-up for the last time under the Nokia branding since it will be going under Microsoft in a couple of months now. And we all know Nokia; they always want to do everything with a bang. Nokia entered the Phablet market with their latest flagship, the Nokia Lumia 1520 a mean powerhouse. But not so long ago even HTC entered the Phablet market with the HTC One Max which is a continuation of their very awesome and most popular phone, the HTC One. So we are going to pitch these two newest Phablets in the market against each other into a head to head comparison.
Design and Looks:
The design of the HTC One Max is exactly same to their flagship phone, the HTC One. The only difference here is the bigger screen. Else the design, looks, colour combination, etc. is all the same. The looks of the Nokia Lumia 1520, well, we all know how amazing the Nokia looks. With the unibody design and lovely colours make it look absolutely attractive. Also it has the design inspired from the design of the Lumia 1020 minus the huge camera sensor. So if we compare the looks of the Nokia Lumia 1520 and the HTC One Max, the Nokia looks much better and attractive than the HTC.
The display on the HTC One Max is a 5.9a�? Super LCD 3 display with the resolution of 1920×1080 Full HD display at 373 ppi. This is a huge display and also an amazing one with great visuals and amazing colour reproduction. The latest HTC Sense absolutely amazing on this screen and it is an amazing visual treat. The Nokia Lumia 1520 on the other hand is a 6a�? IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1920×1080 Full HD display at 367 ppi. This is not at all less compared to the HTC One Max but the difference lies that the screen on the Nokia is just a tad bigger and hence the lesser pixel density. Also even with the minute lesser ppi, the Nokia screen looks amazing with the Windows Phone 8 GDR3 update. Add to that the Nokiaa��s clear black display technology on it and Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner.
Both the Phablets pack amazing horsepower under the hood, but the HTC One Max is a step below the Lumia 1520. The One Max has a Qualcomm APQ8064 Snapdragon 600 Quad Core clocked at 1.7 GHz coupled with the Adreno 320 GPU. This is by no means bad and was at a time the top of the line hardware. But that is not the case anymore and Nokia managed to deliver one better. The Lumia 1520 packs a Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 Quad Core clocked at 2.2 GHz coupled with a newest Adreno 330 GPU. Take this and suddenly the specs of even the Galaxy S4 look tiny in front of this. The main thing to note here is that Android requires the high specs because it is a heavy OS, but Windows Phone 8 is a very light OS, so there is actually not that much requirement for these top line specs, but when provided, you can very well imagine how that is going to fare out for the rest of the Android phone makers.
Operating System:
Now here is good news for Android lovers that HTC One Max comes loaded with Android 4.3 JellyBean out of the box. So no hassles required for OTA updates for the phone. And this comes with the HTCa��s own Sense 5.5 overlay over Android. The HTC Sense 5.5 overlay is an amazing UI that provides for some amazing customization and features like the Homescreen which now has an option to close the Homescreen notifications. The Nokia Lumia 1520 comes out of the box with Windows Phone 8 GDR3 update, also known as Windows Phone 8 a�?Blacka��. This new update to the Amber provides added functionality to Windows Phone like compatibility with Quad Core processors, Full HD displays, added multitasking features, screen rotation lock, etc. so many new features and a new Camera app, now that is WOW!
Storage capacity and Main memory:
The HTC One Max has 2 GB RAM and comes in 16/32 GB internal storage options which is expandable by 64 GB using Micro SD cards. The Nokia Lumia 1520 also has 2 GB RAM, but it comes with only a 32 GB version and an expandable memory option using Micro SD cards upto 64 GB.
Now this is something interesting to watch out for. The HTC One Max has used the same Ultrapixel 4MP Camera. This camera is not at all bad by any means and provides flawless images. It does struggle a bit with the low-light imaging, but well, you just cannot beat Nokia that easily. But overall it is a great camera. It is capable of recording Full HD 1080p videos at 30 fps and 720p HD videos at 60 fps. It also has a 2.1 MP front camera capable of 1080p Full HD videos and also has HDR for low lighting conditions. The Lumia 1520 though has an awesome 20.7MP PureView camera with 16 MP usable. It does have the dual 20 MP and 5 MP image systems where 5MP images is also formed and saved using the oversampling technology from Nokia. This makes the camera on the Lumia 1520 the best camera on Phablets and the second best only to the Lumia 1020 which has a 41 MP sensor. It is capable of 1080p Full HD videos at 30 fps and also has a 1.2 MP front camera capable of 720p HD videos for video calling.
The HTC One Max is quite loaded in terms of features. For starters, it has a fingerprint scanner at the back below the camera in which you can set a fingerprint password or lock for the device. Also the one amazing feature with it is that you can now program the device to open up applications by setting different fingerprints. So each of your fingers will open particular apps when you scan it. We said the features are amazing, not that it works. Trials and tests have found them to be inconclusive and most of the times just did not work at all. So that is something to consider for HTC. The rest of the features are pretty much similar to the HTC One. The Lumia 1520 on the other hand has got some amazing tweaks in the OS. For starters, the Nokia Lenses and Smart Cam App have been clubbed into a single Nokia Cam App. Secondly for closing the apps, now in the multitasking window; you can just click the a�?xa�? on the right top corner to close the app directly. No more need to keep pressing the back button. Also now you can lock the screen rotation in whichever mode you want i.e. landscape or portrait and also there is the new driving mode where you can lock the calls and messages so that you do not get disturbed while driving.
Battery backup has become a huge concern nowadays and hence phones have started to sell depending upon how long they last as well. The HTC One Max has a 3300 mAh battery which allows for upto 15 hours of talk time on 3G networks. Whereas the Nokia Lumia 1520 has a 3400 mAh battery that lasts for upto 25 hours on 3G networks which is pretty amazing. Now that is what is called a battery backup.
We pitched the Nokia Lumia 1520 and the HTC One Max against one another and we compared them over almost all the parameters and found that the Nokia Lumia 1520 is a far better Phablet than the HTC One Max. the under the hood specifications, the internal storage, the screen, the battery backup, the features, camera, etc. in all the aspects, Nokia has managed to always score 1 above the HTC One Max. So if you are looking for a good Phablet, then the Lumia 1520 is your best bet.

- Due to the restriction of designing faster and faster computers, one has to find the ways to maximize the performance of the available hardware. A distributed system consists of several autonomous nodes, where some nodes are busy with processing, while some nodes are idle without any processing. To make better utilization of the hardware, the tasks or load of the overloaded node will be sent to the under loaded node that has less processing weight to minimize the response time of the tasks. Load balancing is a tool used effectively for balancing the load among the systems. Dynamic load balancing takes into account of the current system state for migration of the tasks from heavily loaded nodes to the lightly loaded nodes. In this paper, we devised an adaptive load-sharing algorithm to balance the load by taking into consideration of connectivity among the nodes, processing capacity of each node and link capacity.
