Starting from a relatively small customer base, Infosys has posted strong growth in the utility industry over the past few years. The company now has consultancy and integration capabilities across most of the value chain. Historically, however, Infosys' core capabilities are in customer management and analytics, customer and enterprise wide data management, and field force management. It also has solutions for energy management, mobility, digital, and social business.
Specifically in the customer operations domain, Infosys' business consulting capabilities extend across customer services, metering, billing, and device management. Core IT consulting and integration expertise are in customer service transformation, CIS assessment, replacement, and modernization featuring both Oracle CC&B and SAP-ISU, including pre-configured solutions for the midmarket. The company has large IT outsourcing and managed service contracts in the U.S. and Europe, and it has also introduced a business services portfolio for the full breadth of customer operations including contact and complaint management, billing, metering,
infrastructure management, and testing, with embedded innovation elements.
Infosys has a growing suite of
IP-based solution offerings relevant to utilities customer operations focusing on areas such as customer experience (including packaged self-service solutions — for example, Customer Self-Service Energy Manager), smart metering (e.g.,
Meter Data Management Appliance and SmartMeterEdge), mobility, and analytics (e.g., Infosys Information Platform or IIP). The company creates, hosts, and operates these IP platforms, which are offered to clients on an outcome/subscription-based pricing model and through a cloud delivery option.
Infosys has
invested strongly in cloud, mobility, and analytics in recent months and plans to further consolidate its footprint in this area. With engagements involving 3rd Platform technologies projected to increase significantly in 2015 and beyond, it will eventually initiate a full-fledged PaaS model for customer services, integrating Big Data/analytics, cloud, mobility, and social offerings.

(EFX) Equifax – Bull of the Day
Equifax (EFX) delivered decent third quarter 2012 results, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate on the top and bottom lines. Fourth-quarter guidance was encouraging.
We believe that Equifax is well positioned to benefit from its leadership in important markets and strength in international markets. Given its strong correlation to consumer and financial markets, as well as its U.S. exposure, improvement in results will be directly proportional to
the country's economic recovery.
Moreover, stronger mortgage activities are expected to boost Equifax fundamentals. We upgrade the stock from Neutral to Outperform and set a target price of $64.00.

Pokémon Back on Top
Wed, 16 Oct 2013, 9:45 am
by Jon Parsons, Do Gaming Journalist
Tags: Pokémon, Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, Nintendo, 3DS, Pokémon Series, Pokémon Franchise
Pokémon X and Y have collectively sold over four million copies in just 48 hours to establish themselves as the best selling pair in the illustrious pocket monster franchise.
"The early response to Pokémon X and Pokémon Y not only reaffirms the ongoing passion of Pokémon fans, but also indicates that an entirely new generation of gamers is eager to experience the franchise for itself," says Nintendo President Satoru Iwata.
The best-selling core pair so far are 2007's Pearl and Diamond, which have shifted 17.63 million copies between them.
Pokémon X and Y are the first instalments in the sixth generation of the main series of Pokémon games, and the first in the handheld main series of games to be completely rendered in polygonal 3D graphics.

Supercar Saturday Lamborghini Broward
This past Saturday February 11, 2017, Lamborghini Broward hosted their monthly Supercar Saturday event. This event was on my calendar but somehow I missed the notification the night before! Thankfully one of my Wolf Millionaire followers reminded me of the event in a comment at 10am when I posted a photo. Special thank you to Santiago for the reminder! Keep up the amazing work following your passions in life dude!
After being reminded of the event, I sprung out of bed, called the valet to bring up my car and took a quick shower. It's amazing how quickly you can spring out of bed and a morning foggy brain when you have a Supercar event to drive to your in very own Ceramic Pro protected McLaren 540c. While I was getting ready, I realized that THIS EVENT was the very FIRST Supercar meet I have ever taken my Canadian McLaren to (outside of Monterey last summer). WOW that mad my day and driving to the event that much more exciting! It also helped that it was an absolute beautiful sunny HOT day in Miami, not a cloud in the sky! Time was ticking as the event ended at 1pm!
As you can see from the video, Lamborghini Broward had quite the amazing turnout for their monthly event! Floyd Rag made sure I had a wicked spot in the shade (because I wanted to detail my car after the show – I didn't get a chance the night before) and it was amazing to see Bryan Salamone & Conc show up in their insane Lamborghini Aventador SV Roadster, and Kris Singh with his full carbon fiber Pagani Huayra known as the Mona Lisa. INSANITY!
It was an absolute trip meeting many people at the show that recognized me from Wolf Millionaire and my car from MadWhips Instagram accounts. What a humbling experience to be able to talk to so many incredible followers and answer all their questions about my McLaren and Instagram not to mention checkout how my Ceramic Pro coating was protecting my car during my Miami Ceramic Pro journey!
Stay tuned for more!

Yesterday i returned to the Cave of Justice after a long time away. This came about for two reasons, one the Grit was wet and two i had an urge to pull on something that was a little more brutal on the body. An early start at 6am from Sheff, with a quick detour to collect a Weasel from Blackburn we were soon at the cave in the blazing sunshine. Conditions were perfect, warm on the outside and cold on the inside. A quick tick through the classics to warm upi managed to do them all first go including Trigger Cut, i felt pretty good so i started work on The Greenheart Connection 8a+. After a little messing trying to remember the complex Lou Ferino sequence i managed to tick Greenheart on my second attempt. Well pleased.
Thanks to Nick Reyner for the pic of me just exiting the hard undercut move.
As for today it was off to The North Face Store store in Manchester to help out on the Ice Wall with fellow TNF athlete Lucinda Hughes. A good fun day.
Tomorrow i am off to Marple to reset their popular bouldering ladder. For the last few months myself and Taz have been setting them 60 problems per month. Check out The Rope Race for details.

Why should you use a food diary?
Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, or simply adapt better eating habits, keeping a food diary can be a very useful tool to use to achieve your goals. It helps you to be accountable to how you are eating, allows you to understand your eating habits a bit better, and it gives you insight into your macro- and micro- nutrient intake.
What kinds of food diaries are there?
With the increasing amount of health-conscious consumers out there, many are finding more ways of keeping track of how they eat. There are many types of food diaries out there and they all have their advantages and disadvantages. In order for a food diary to be of any use to you, it is important that you find one that fits your lifestyle. Here are few ways to keep track of how you eat:
- Write what you ate in a notebook at the end of the day. Although this can be very straightforward, it does not allow you to see how many calories or other nutrients you have eaten throughout the day. (You can also lose it, spill things on it, or forget to take it with you.)
- You could photograph barcodes of products as well as dishes and snacks. This is a great way to share your progress with others on social networks. It keeps you accountable to others AND you can also get support from others going through the same journey as yourself.
- Include all of the above with a food diary app!
Although two out of the three methods mentioned above can be practical, they do not include many different functions in one place. With a notebook or just taking pictures, you cannot analyze the nutrition content of your daily intake. Without the right information in a food diary, changing your food choices to be healthier ones, becomes more difficult. For example, if you need to increase your protein intake, writing what you eat in a notebook will not guide you to choose more protein-rich foods. This is where a food diary app can be the ideal way to not only keep track of what you are eating, but it can help you to make better food choices. It can also help you to stay connected with a community that will support you through your endeavors.
The Superbody Food Diary
We invite all of you to try the Superbody food diary. It has a number of features which will help you on your journey to losing weight and gaining health.
- Many foods to choose from! We have a huge database of products you can choose from with detailed nutrition information for each.

- Categorized meal plan set-up. Superbody nutritionists have broken down your diary into sections that should be present in a healthy diet:
- Superbody meal plan dishes (meals and snack designed to fit in personalized meal plans created by our dieticians).
- Complex carbohydrates (bread, grains and cereals)
- Protein products (chicken, fish, meat and eggs)
- Vegetables
- Fruit
- Dairy products (milk, cheese and yogurt)
- Fat (oils, nuts, walnut oil, and other oils)
- Other (All other products)
- Simple and Advanced Modes.
- Simple Mode - Simply add foods to your meal plan without categories.
- Advanced Mode - For the more nutritionally advanced customer, insert the food you eat under the categories listed above.
Remember, a food diary is not meant to be used for months and years. It is simply a tool to use for 2-4 weeks which can help you to stay on track, to become aware of what you are eating, and to help you make better food choices. Superbody is here to help you on your journey to a healthy body. Try our food diary app today to get started!

Dear Past Me,
I had a little moment here. I walked around taking in the rock art pieces and their stories. I looked at these hand prints for a few minutes and then… it hit me. They were made twenty thousand years ago. Twenty thousand. That's an inconceivable amount of time. And yet, they look just like my hands; they look the same. It feels like a portal in time or some other bullshit cliche. The hairs on the back of my neck actually prickled. Whatever you want to call it, it really hit me. You'll love this country you live in even more at this moment, and feel a disconnected connection to its traditional owners. We're all the same, but not.
Lots of love,
Future Me

LOS ANGELES (AP) – California has issued more than half a million driver's licenses to immigrants in the country illegally under a program that began nine months ago.
Armando Botello, a spokesman for the state's Department of Motor Vehicles, said Friday that the milestone was reached last week.
"For us, the DMV, it is a source of great pride to have reached half a million this soon. We thought we would issue half a million applications per year and we did it in 9 months. This means the DMV work is paying off and that all drivers will be safer now," said Botello.
The state started providing special permits in January, when a law took effect allowing unauthorized immigrants to obtain it with an identification document, proof of residence, and after passing a written and a driving exam.
Because the agency does not ask about race or ethnicity, it is not known how many of the five hundred thousand applicants are Latino. However, Botello said most are Hispanic.

The record number of licenses issued came as a surprise to the agency, which expected to reach the half a million mark by the end of the year, said Botello. According to DMV estimates, there is a total of 1.4 million potential applicants in the state of California.
"We thought we would issue half a million in one year and we did it in nine months. I think it will be difficult that we reach one million in the next nine months because there are fewer people coming to the office," the spokesman said.
The new licenses initially generated huge interest, with long lines at DMV offices in January and February.

A somber story on the suicide "epidemic" in Korea. It's not because of the food!
A place called the "suicide forest" on Japan's Mt. Fuji has the dubious honor of seeing the world's second-highest number of suicides after the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Around 500 people have taken their own lives there since the 1950s.
In front of the dense forest is a sign advertising debt relief counseling, put there by a civic group because most people who kill themselves there do so to escape from heavy debts or financial problems after being laid off.
Human life is far too precious to throw away to ease temporary suffering. The German philosopher Artur Schopenhauer hailed suicide as the "absolute right" of every human being. Yet Schopenhauer was an epicure who was also keenly aware of the value of money. The pistol he kept in his bedroom was for self-protection rather than self-slaughter, and he lived to the cantankerous old age of 72.
Statistics Korea recently unveiled Korea's suicide rate showing that a staggering 29.1 per 100,000 people here take their own lives, putting the country at the top of the OECD for the ninth year running. That is 2.3 times higher than the OECD average of 12.5 suicides per 100,000 people. Read more at [The Chosun Ilbo]

What do you understand by Tadalafil Black?
Tadalafil Black is useful for those men who have erectile dysfunction or failure. It is a PDE-5 enzyme inhibitor. Tadalafil functions by helping the men to achieve a hard erection by causing relaxation of the smooth muscles of blood vessels. Less blood flow in penile is the main cause of the erection failure.
What is the functioning of Tadalafil Black 80mg or 800mg?
Tadalafil heightens your sensual pleasure by raising the flow of blood into the erogenous region and the penile organ by inhibiting the cGMP-specific-PDE5-Isoenzymes. Due to this inhibition the good concentration of cGMP and NO shelters within the penile tissues that promote the relaxation of penile muscles causing the rush of oxygenated blood into specific sensual regions.
What is the dosage regimen of Generic Cialis Black 80mg?
If you are taking a tablet of Tadalafil Black then take single pill 30 minutes before intimacy orally with a good amount of water. In such cases, the duration of medication lasts for 36 to 48 hours. So ingest only single tablet and maintain a gap of two to three days between any two doses.
What are the contraindications to follow with Cialis Tadalafil Black 80mg?
What are the warnings and precautions to be followed with Generic Cialis Black 80mg?
What are the side effects of Tadalafil Black 80mg or 800mg?
The men may face some unwanted harmful effects such as vomiting, bloating, nausea, facial flushing, stomach upset, painful or prolong erection, chest pain, and a ringing sound in the ear.

The irreproducibility of scientific research has received attention in the Wall Street Journal, Science, Nature, and many other outlets, including editorials and presentations from the leaders of the NIH and the FDA. In both the spring and fall 2012 HRA Members' Meetings, speakers discussed the forces operating in science that sometimes fail to reinforce good scientific practice. Bias, selective reporting, retractions. Insufficient statistical powering of studies, and outright fraud have been critical issues for HRA member organizations seeking to accelerate the development of treatments and cures since at least 2012 and unfortunately still remain at play today.
To address this systemic problem, a group of HRA members have formed the Research Reproducibility Interest Group. The goal of this group is to develop concrete recommendations that nonprofit funding organizations can implement to ensure increased publication of reproducible scientific findings. Resources from inside and outside HRA, as well as products this group develops, will be posted to this page.

The term "Living Legend" is often over used. In the case of Stephen King, however, the term is an understatement. The author of classic novels such as Misery, Christine, The Shining, Pet Sematary, Carrie, Cujo and the lifetime-to-complete Dark Tower series was making his first public speaking appearance in the UK in 10 years promoting his latest novel, Lisey's Story, before a packed audience of some 3,000 devotees. We have to be fair here, you know you've made it when a fleet of London Taxis have been decked out in the livery of your book cover for the occasion.
'It's a little like being
on a chat show,' King remarked to interviewer and organiser of
The Hay Festival, Peter Florence, 'being up here in front of so
many people. We'd be in trouble if they attacked. Sorry, it's
my job to point these things out.'
Welcome to the world of Stephen King.
Having sold over 300 million books,
King is a phenomenon. He embraced questions on many subjects in a show
split into two halves. The first being dedicated to Lisey's
Story, with the second hosting a reading and answering
readers questions that were sent in to The Times via Email.
Never afraid to voice his opinions,
King made notice of the desert boots he was wearing in support of the
James Webb, Democratic candidate for Virginia, who has a son in Iraq
and wants to get the troops out. 'The point of the boots is that
John Grisham wants us to wear them as a message of solidarity for Jim
Webb and for those serving in Iraq and that, while we hate the war and
the imperialism of the war, most importantly we mourn the loss of every
life in Iraq and just want the bloodshed to stop. George Bush is the
head of Nascar nation with a Bud in one hand and big hat in the other.
He says the Democrats don't have a plan and just want to get out.
Truth is, he doesn't have a plan either.'
Then, looking up to the ceiling as another
jet headed for home, he whispered ominously: 'I hope that thing
doesn't crash and douse us all in gallons of burning jet fuel.
I don't have a pen handy.' The chuckle this got from the
audience was both receptive and not a little nervous.
Lisey's Story
is an immensely personal tale about the widow of a famous author coming
to terms with the loss of her husband. 'People are always asking
me if I'm Scott and I say "no" and if Tabby is Lisey
and I say "no" but the truth is that reality is the wall
you bounce your ideas off. After my accident, I picked up a bug that
collapsed my lung and turned it green. When Tabby realised I wasn't
going to die she said " Right, I'm going home to tidy your
office". I couldn't do anything except gurgle "okay,
dear" and when I got home she said: "I wouldn't go
into your office. It's disturbing." She was right. I found
the rugs had been rolled back and most of my stuff had been packed into
boxes. And then I thought, "This is like being the Ghost Of Christmas
Yet To Come" and I thought "this is the way it will be if
your wife outlives you, which she probably will because she hasn't
indulged in your bad habits. You'll be dead and she'll be
in the throes of grief after being married since being 21. She'll
also have to deal with the fact that there will be an unfinished manuscript
and all that goes with it". That is a huge chunk of the novel
… the realisation that those left behind have everything to deal
So when does he know a novel is finished?
'When you don't know what comes next." King answered
matter-of-factly. And how does his wife Tabby – a respected novelist
in her own right – feel about Lisey's Story? 'She
said this is very important to you isn't it and I said yes. And
she said what would you do if I said the book worries me and I said
… I will put it away. And she said: "It worries me, but
its too good to do that". And that's the first time that's
happened. I'm not here in England to fatten my bank account. I'm
here because I believe the book is a great story.'
Peter Florence then asked if it was
more difficult to write about grief than fear? 'No, its tough
to write about both. I'd never written about grief this way before.
There's no point writing about the same thing the same way twice.
Besides, that's Tom Clancy's job. I've always been
called a horror writer and I've never quibbled with that. Readers
and stores need to put my books somewhere. Horror doesn't have
to be all big bugs coming out of manholes and Zombie killers. What I
want to do is saw on your emotions and I am very, very serious about
doing that. I want to reach you personally and want to leave a sonic
boom that makes the Reader very glad or very sorry its over and when
its there, I want you to feel every emotion as fully as I do. A work
of art should enrich the emotions and that's what I want to do.
If it's something vast, like Leatherface for example, bring it
on. If it's something more subtle, that's great too. If
Lisey's Story makes you cry I'm
not sorry about that. I've done my job and reached your emotions.'
King also revealed he was in a lot of
physical pain writing the book. 'Pain medication is ridiculous.
You take it at first to relieve the pain then you take it for the high
it gives you. Sometimes you even manufacture the pain to get the medication.
There came a point where I either kicked it or got my prescriptions
in a wheelbarrow.'
So do his novels come from dreams, as
has been reported with Misery, or from true-life experiences?
'It's a combination of true life and things that come out
of nowhere. Very rarely do dreams play a part. With Misery,
he was going to be fed to pigs and she was going to bind the book with
his skin. Misery was originally going to be called The
Annie Wilkes First Edition but evolved into what it is today in
the writing process. The original idea moved away by writing in longhand
at Browns Hotel in London, drinking tea through jetlag. It was like
old times until the Porter told me Kipling had died at the desk I'd
been working at.'
King has had his troubles with drugs
and alcohol. Today he is clean. Does he feel more creative? 'I
do. It's taken some time. You go through a period of being flat,
like a glass of Seltzer water that's lost its bubbles, but I don't
worry anymore about whether the ideas come or don't come because
I have some stored away. I don't use a notebook. If the ideas
are good ones they'll stick around if they're bad they won't.
If I had a bad notebook it would be full of bad ideas so what's
the point?'
So what about Roland and The Dark
Tower series? Did he know it was set to become his life's
work? 'No. It was accidental really. I came across some stories
after Carrie and Salem's Lot had been published
and thought I could sell them to a magazine. Fantasy and Science
Fiction took them then Donald Grant asked me to do them as a book
for his small press on a 10,000 print run. We all thought that the job
was done. When my next major book came out, Pet Sematary, I
made the mistake of listing The Gunslinger on the masthead
of the book and got inundated with requests by people angry that they
couldn't get a copy. So we reissued it in cheap paperback form
and so began the comet ride. Was I disappointed when it was over? Was
I ever. I learned to love those people.'
So how does King feel about the recent
adaptations of his books for movies? 'I like the quotation of
James Kane when a reporter asked how he felt about the fact that movies
had ruined his books. Kane turned around and said: "no they haven't
young man. They're on that shelf right there and they're
all just fine". Personally, I don't care if they want to
make a movie. But if I'm in, I'm all the way in and if I'm
out I'm not involved at all. If they're great I applaud.
If they're bad I remember what my mother used to say: if you can't
say something nice don't say anything at all and I do that unless
somebody says Stephen King likes this movie when I
don't. If I think it's a piece of shit I'm going to
say it's a piece of shit and, like with The Shining,
if somebody says its great looking picture, my view is "yeah but
you can sugar frost a dog turd but it doesn't make it a Twinkie
So are there any of his adapted books
that he really loves? 'Oh God, yes. Shawshank Redemption
is a great movie and so is The Green Mile. Misery
is a good movie. Stand By Me is a good one too and, personally,
I've always had a soft spot for Cujo. Dee Wallace should
have won an Academy Award for her performance as the mother who rescues
the little boy in that Pinto.'
With The Green Mile being set
on death row, where does its author stand on capital punishment? 'I
oppose it morally in 99.9 per cent of all cases. The exceptions to the
rule is for those monsters like Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacey who just
need to be put to death.'
What about Saddam Hussain? 'No.
Nobody made him an American citizen but George Bush has become the decider
on that. He doesn't come under my scope of monster in this context.'
So is King pro-life? 'I believe
it's the woman's right to choose. It's her body and
its nobody else's business.'
Will King be writing under a pseudonym
in future? 'There is one more Bachman book from 1973 written on
the typewriter my wife claims I married her for. An Olivetti. She's
wrong. I married her for her body. The typewriter though was a really
nice added attraction.'
And, sadly, Stephen King's
work here was done … with the exception of having to sign a few
thousand copies of Lisey's Story.
It may have taken a decade to coax him back to these shores, but every second of his presence on the stage in Battersea was a once in a lifetime experience that will never be forgotten by those lucky enough to be here.
|Were you also there to see Stephen King live at Battersea, London in 2006? Maybe you would just like to comment on this review? Please feel free to leave your FEEDBACK
Writing gets me away for a while' from this world and into one where I, alone, can make or
break the rules as I see fit. - Chris High 2003.

1 Valley of Eden, beyond the sea,
Haven of rest, tranquil and blest;
Anchored forever we soon shall be,
Gathered with Jesus to rest;
Songs of the ransomed are floating in air,
Wafted to earth from thy regions so fair;
Angels are tenderly calling us there,
Calling the weary to rest.
Come to this valley of Eden fair,
Weary and sorrow oppressed;
Angels are tenderly calling us there,
Come to this valley of rest.
2 Valley of Eden, the soul's dear home,
Bright are thy hills, peaceful thy rills;
Happy forever we soon shall roam
Over thy bright blooming hills;
Thine are the beauties that never decay,
Thine is the light of a shadowless day;
Voices of loved ones are calling away,
Home to thy bright blooming hills. [Refrain]
3 Valley of Eden, beyond the sea,
Lovely thy bow'rs, fadeless thy flow'rs;
Valley of Eden, we dream of thee,
Dream of thy beautiful bow'rs.
Friends that were parted with rapture shall meet,
Casting their crowns at Immanuel's feet;
Still the glad voices of angels repeat,
"Come to the valley of flowers." [Refrain]

Confidence returns for the autumn
The UK continues to confound the experts post Brexit. The pound has fallen and we are told this is no bad thing as it will boost exports although inflation will worsen. The economy continues to thrive and we have better employment figures than Europe.
Most property experts predicated price falls post Brexit, commented Andrew Oulsnam, Director of leading West Midlands estate agents Robert Oulsnam and Company, in fact the opposite has happened. Prices are continuing to rise except in London and this company has had the best sales figures for three years in September.
Confidence is now returning to the property market and this should spread into next year. New instructions for property coming onto the market have slowed but should improve next year.
The London market is somewhat different having boomed way ahead of the rest of the country for the last few years. It is now experiencing something of a recession.

The Story of Beautiful Girl
Rachel SimonIt is 1968. Lynnie, a young white woman with a developmental disability, and Homan, an African American deaf man, are locked away in an institution, the School for the Incurable and Feebleminded, and have been left to languish, forgotten. Deeply in love, they escape, and find refuge in the farmhouse of Martha, a retired schoolteacher and widow. But the couple is not alone-Lynnie has just given birth to a baby girl. When the authorities catch up to them that same night, Homan escapes into the darkness, and Lynnie is caught. But before she is forced back into the institution, she whispers two words to Martha: "Hide her." And so begins the 40-year epic journey of Lynnie, Homan, Martha, and baby Julia-lives divided by seemingly insurmountable obstacles, yet drawn together by a secret pact and extraordinary love.

Meet the Author about her inspiration, beliefs surrounding book, and writing career
On a rain-lashed night in small-town America, a man and woman arrive at a stranger's door. Martha Zimmer is a retired schoolteacher, and a widow. Faced with the soaking-wet couple, she takes them in. Lynnie and Homan are deeply in love. They are also both disabled. Lynnie is a young white woman with an intellectual disability. Homan is a deaf-mute African-American man...
It is 1968 and the couple have escaped from harsh, inhumane conditions at The Pennsylvania State School for the Incurable and Feeble-Minded. Soon after they take shelter at Martha's house, the police catch up with them. Homan escapes, but Lynnie is captured. Before they take her away, Lynnie reveals to Martha that she has a newborn baby girl. She gives the child to Martha and begs the widow to hide her. So begins The Story of Beautiful Girl, written by an author who knows all about the way 'normal' society treats those with intellectual disabilities. Rachel Simon grew up with a sister, Beth, who suffers from the condition.
Lynnie is bound and taken back to the brutal institution from which she has just escaped. Here, iron rules are ferociously enforced, living conditions are appalling, and staff abusive and cruel. The inmates are treated as if they are sub-human. Lynnie and Homan's lives may have been torn apart, but each remembers the other with huge tenderness as their separate destinies unfold. And gradually, public attitudes to disability soften and change. Forty years later, the couple are re-united, having learned to sign and speak, and to parent their daughter. The Story of Beautiful Girl really is...well, a beautiful story.
This tale of Lynnie, Homan, Martha, and Julia, their 'beautiful girl', is exceptionally moving. It is a testament to both human cruelty, and human kindness. And also to bravery and loyalty. As Judy says, author Rachel Simons knows all about the frustrations of the intellectually disabled, having a sister with that condition. So she writes with great insight and tenderness about what it is like to be totally misunderstood, as well as mistreated, by the 'able'...
Of her sister Beth, Simons says: 'I've spent my life noticing - and being annoyed at - how so much of the world has got it all wrong when it comes to people like my sister. She gets ignored by waitresses, snickered at by teenagers, patronised by people who assume she's helpless, and underestimated by those who assume she's angelic. On top of all this, I've long wondered: why does so much of the public just not get it? And how, given that some people like my sister are never seen or acknowledged or heard, might that ever change?'
What this writer has achieved is a heartbreaking account of how 'the world's rules, injustices, rewards, and irrationalities' are actually perceived by people like her sister. She also makes us comprehend their inner lives, emotions and yearnings, and the frustration they experience when we fail to understand them. It's a wonderful book, which you won't easily forget.
Reviews & Comments
I really didn't enjoy this book. I was excited when I read the synopsis and really wanted to know how the story was going to turn out. Unfortunately, it was far too coincidental for me and I found Lynnie to be the complete opposite of what the author wanted her to be. The constant switching between characters drove me mad and left me really confused at times. Also, I wrongly assumed the story would be about the baby but it's not. The story didn't interest me enough and, to be honest, I found it incredibly dull. It felt like it needed a good editor.
Overlall I enjoyed the book, I found it slow and boring at first but loved the happy ending. I also loved the authors reason for writing the book.

I agree with Charlene on this book, I really enjoyed the first chapter and couldn't wait to read the rest and then it all became too coincidental. What we were expected to believe was too far-fetched, I won't give details in case I spoil it for other people. Also certain descriptions spoiled the book for me, for example 'British Accent' and 'Irish Looking' eh? Are there such things? More care needed I think, but bluesky thinking definitely appears in this book!
I LOVED this book, once i started i had to keep going to find out what happened next. i thought martha was a very brave character (not many people would have done what she did) and i was very sympathetic towards lynnie and homan. it is scary to think about what went on in these institutions. hugely recommended...
I really enjoyed this one. It wasn't what I was expecting from the synopsis but a very good read. The only thing that spoiled it a bit for me was that the character of Lynnie didn't ring true - it seemed like her thoughts were too sophisticated for her supposed low IQ. The ending and the coincidences were a bit cliched but despite that I'd still give it a thumbs up.
I struggled with this book at first, but the more i read the more I enjoyed it. It was a troubling story and made me think. It brought tears to my eyes on a few occasions. I felt the Author struggled with the time line of the story. Knights of Reigate book club
The novel is food for thought about society's and family attitudes (past and present) to those with disabilities and the quality of life that is possible. Some of the novel seems to be a rather broad sweep of the brush and less credible (Martha looking after the baby) but author's notes reveal that many of the ideas were based on real life. Coincidences criticised by other reviewers are explained by the author as genuine interventions of fate in her real life. Overall I really enjoyed this book.
SPOILER ALERT Not a book or subject matter that I would have normally read...The first chapter made me want to read and read but progressively the story and characters became very complex..each chapter could have been its own book. Large chunks of what could have been interesting relating to the life of Julie was skipped and the sentence relating Martha s death was too throw away a comment for one of the main characters..... I still enjoyed the read !
I thought this book was excellent. I could not put it down and it really caught my imagination. I thought it was brilliantly written. Thank you Richard and Judy for recommending such a fabulous book. Annette Stacey

I read this because I saw a review that said if you enjoyed 'The Help' you'd love 'Beautiful Girl', and I certainly did! I felt a range of emotions whilst reading it - from anger to sorrow, to happiness and relief. A really good read.

Everyone loves to laugh, right? But live stand-up comedy just isn't that accessible, save for in major city centres, where the acts are found in dark and cramped clubs and the talent is often hit-or-miss. Enter Brothers DePaul, a media production company aiming to change the Canadian comedy and media landscape.
Co-founder Miles DePaul recognized that while Canadian comedy is strong, American media often drowns it out. In order to take Canadian comedic content beyond the few late-night clubs in Toronto and Montreal, and top-end once-a-year comedy festivals, Brothers DePaul is filling the niche between these segments with their series Comedy in the X — beautifully produced comedy specials set in intimate and unique spaces (Toronto alleyways, galleries, and home basements, for example) and presented eight times a year.
The company aims mainly to serve city-dwelling adults aged 25 to 40. This demographic is typically tech-savvy, interested in indie music, craft beer, local food, and active on social media — they crave quality entertainment and unique experiences. With $5,000 in start-up capital, Brothers DePaul plans to transition from renting to purchasing camera equipment, which will allow them to reduce ticket prices, pay production teams and comedians better rates, and bring in a wider audience.
Miles sees the company moving forward and expanding into other entertainment mediums with the winnings, "The Canon Get Started program will enable us to invest in company equipment, reducing on-going costs from renting cameras, microphones, and other equipment. Ultimately, this award will allow us to focus on producing unique and compelling films, events, and podcasts for our audience."

Mobile-First, Cloud-First at Future Decoded 2015
Tuesday saw the UK's largest business technology event, Future Decoded, arrive in London. A swarm of tech and business industry professionals from all across Europe gather to share knowledge, exchange success stories and make big announcements.
A big draw was Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's keynote speech, where he once again expressed the importance of a mobile-first, cloud-first revolution.
The concept behind this idea is for people to have the opportunity to access their work on any device, wherever they are, providing people a chance to be more engaged at work.
As Nadella said it: "Work isn't a place you go to, work is about making things happen wherever you are."
There are three ways that Microsoft would implement their mobile-first, cloud-first idea and all three points involved using technologies like Azure, Dynamics CRM, AX, GP and NAV to take large amounts of data, and transform it in meaningful ways to improve people's efficiency and production at work.
A More Personal Nadella
Nadella also gave us many personal examples about how mobile-first, cloud-first, driven by Microsoft software and platform innovations, are improving his personal and working life.
He described how Outlook groups allows him and his wife to share key family notes. While at work, he said it helps him to stay connected with the other Microsoft executives, whether they're in the same room or scattered around the world.
Software like Power BI for Office 365 is used to turn raw data into easy-to-digest analytics. Delve Analytics delivers significant feedback on how you're using your time to help you achieve that all-important work-life balance.
A Revolution in Data Technology
This type of revolution in data technology provides real empowerment for every organisation, and every individual. We'll just have to wait and see if Microsoft can deliver it.

Healthcare IT Outsourcing Market to Garner Brimming Revenues by 2024
News • Apr 11, 2018 12:13 EDT
The significant increase in the number of Healthcare IT Outsourcing Market service providers has deepened the competition among them in recent years. Vendors are focusing on developing their own analytical platforms for improved patient data management and quality patient care systems in order to offer customized solutions to healthcare payers as well as providers, globally, notes Transparency Market Research in a new study.
Looking forward, unmet healthcare needs in emerging economies of Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Africa are expected to offer an opportunity-rich market to participants. As these regions boast of ample availability of skilled manpower, entering into strategic alliances with local companies will help major players to seize better shares in this market.
IBM, Accenture, TCS, Cognizant, and Wipro are the leading healthcare IT outsourcing services providers with a presence across the world.

Government Initiatives to Provide High-quality, Cost-efficient Healthcare Services Boost Demand for Healthcare IT Outsourcing
Over the last decade, third-party IT outsourcing has emerged as the biggest trend in Healthcare IT. With initiatives and regulations by various governments emphasizing on making high-quality yet cost-efficient healthcare services available to people, the outsourcing of IT solutions in the healthcare industry has emerged as one of the best cost-saving practices.
"The assistance these outsourcing solutions provide in curbing the expenses on in-house healthcare it solutions has driven their demand exponentially and it does not look declining anytime soon," says an analyst at TMR. Riding high on this surging demand, the global market for healthcare IT outsourcing indicates towards a thriving future. However, the increasing cases of data breach and the loss of confidentiality are likely to create serious trust issues between healthcare providers and IT outsourcing solution vendors in the near future.
Additionally, the high fragmentation in the medical and healthcare industry is projected to obstruct the execution of standard IT platforms across this market, limiting the operations of service providers.

North America to Remain Market Leader, Asia Pacific to Report Fastest Rise
In spite of these hindrances, the worldwide market for healthcare IT outsourcing will report a tremendous rise in the coming years. According to TMR's estimations, the opportunity in this market that stood at US$34 bn in 2014 and is likely to increase at a CAGR of 6.70% during the period from 2015 to 2023 and to touch a projected valuation of US$61.2 bn by the end of the forecast period.
North America emerged as the leader in 2014 with a share of more than 40% in the global market and is likely to remain dominant over the next few years. Asia Pacific, however, is projected to record the fastest rise at a CAGR of 10.50% between 2015 and 2023 among all the regional healthcare IT outsourcing markets.
Healthcare providers have surfaced as the leading end user of healthcare IT outsourcing across the world. However, the demand from healthcare payers is anticipated to exceed that of the former over the forecast period.
Among healthcare IT outsourcing applications, healthcare administration enjoys the highest demand at present. However, due to the increasing patient pool and the growing demand for quality care services, globally, the care management application is expected to witness the fastest growth rate in the coming years.

Blood Typing
The purpose of this lab is to determine the blood type of two samples. The objectives of the blood typing lab were to learn about antigens and the consequences of incompatibility, blood typing, and to illustrate antigen-antibody complexes and agglutination.
Red blood cells have glycoproteins on their surface which act like "flags" to identify the cells. The glycoproteins are coded for by the blood type genes A, B, and O. Unlike Complete Dominance where one gene totally masks another (i.E. vs. t), the blood type genes, A and B, are Co-dominant or equally dominant. Therefore, an individual with the genotype AB will possess both A-type glycoproteins and B-type glycoproteins on their RBC's. Antibodies are proteins made by the immune system which attack foreign matter in the body. If A-type blood enters the body, anti-A antibodies will attack it. If B-type blood enters, anti-B antibodies will attack it. If AB- type blood enters, anti-A and anti-B antibodies will attack it. If O-type blood enters, no antibodies will attack since O-type blood cells do not have the glycoproteins on the surface. The presence or absence of the different antibodies determines which blood types can be safely received during a blood transfusion. When antibodies attack blood cells they cause the cells to "clump" or "agglutinate". This agglutination can be used as a clinical test to determine what blood type a person has.
ABO blood group system
ABO blood group system: diagram showing the carbohydrate chains that determine the ABO blood group The ABO system is the most important blood-group system in human-blood transfusion. The associated anti-A and anti-B antibodies are usually immunoglobulin M, abbreviated IgM, antibodies. ABO IgM antibodies are produced in the first years of life by sensitization to environmental substances such as food, bacteria, and viruses. The O in ABO is often called 0 (zero, or null) in other languages. |Phenotype |Genotype |
|A |AA or AO |
|B |BB or BO |
Rh blood group system
The Rh system is the second most significant blood-group system in human-blood transfusion with currently 50 antigens. The most significant Rh antigen is the D antigen, because it is the most likely to provoke an immune system response of the five main Rh antigens. It is common for D-negative individuals not to have any anti-D IgG or IgM antibodies, because anti-D antibodies are not usually produced by sensitization against environmental substances. However, D-negative individuals can produce IgG anti-D antibodies following a sensitizing event: possibly a fetomaternal transfusion of blood from a fetus in pregnancy or occasionally a blood transfusion with D positive RBCs. Rh disease can develop in these cases. Rh negative blood types are much less in proportion of Asian populations (0.3%) than they are in White (15%).[15] In the table below, the presence or absence of the Rh antigens is signified by the + or - sign, so that for example the A- group does not have any of the Rh antigens.
Red blood cell compatibility
Blood group AB individuals have both A and B antigens on the surface of their RBCs, and their blood plasma does not contain any antibodies against either A or B antigen. Therefore, an individual with type AB blood can receive blood from any group (with AB being preferable), but can donate blood only to another type AB individual. Blood group A individuals have the A antigen on the surface of their RBCs, and blood serum containing IgM antibodies against the B antigen. Therefore, a group A individual can receive blood only from individuals of groups A or O (with A being preferable), and can donate blood to individuals with type A or AB. Blood group...
