Global network management software in the telecom market is expected to experience brisk growth due to rapid growth in the telecom sector. The software is presumed to play a vital role in shaping the competitive landscape over the forecast period resulting in innovation, growth, and productivity.
A telecommunication network consists of nodes, switches, and wires that provide audio, video, and data communication. It includes wireless and microwave equipment along with traditional telephony forms. The chief function performed by the telecom network is to deliver smooth and error free information transmission between the origin point and the destination point. This software offers a framework for accomplishing interactive communication throughout the operating system and heterogeneous telecommunication links. This solution allows supervisors to supervise and manage the individual network components within a large one which is spread across the world.
This software helps telecom service suppliers to improve customer experience; reduce customer churn and engage in intelligent network planning, which in turn, helps in modernizing the business models and maximizes revenue for the service providers. Network management is imperative for the telecom industry as is play a critical role in their business model.
Due to a rapid rise in mobile users, the demand for this solution is expected to witness growth in the forecast period. Emerging economies such as China, India and Brazil have seen a massive increase in telecom users in the recent past. Such a trend is presumed to offer ample opportunities for the industry participants over the forecast period. Telecom industry players are anticipated to invest in next generation technologies and cater to the rapidly growing demand in this sector. Network management is expected to be implemented by the companies, to remain competitive in the industry and acquire a proper foothold.
However, a recent trend which displays a decrease in average revenue per user (ARPU) may hinder the market growth and development over the forecast period. Intense competition is expected to affect negatively market growth by reducing profit margins for the industry participants. Skilled workforce shortage is estimated to hamper market growth and development soon.
Manufacturers are heavily spending on R&D initiatives for developing integrated solutions and taking strategic steps that provide increased market penetration. Telecom service providers are making extra efforts to minimize hardware costs to hold market position and maximize their profit margin.
Network optimization helps in the real-time study and can be used for destruction control as well. Customer churn happens when users change from one system to another due to multiple reasons. Such change in consumer behavior poses a huge challenge for the telecom industry. Network management software plays a significant role in minimizing such customer churn and leads to efficient customer management. The organizations can estimate user's location and data needs with accuracy which is made possible by such management solution.
Network security, traffic, and device management are the different solutions provided by the industry participants. Key regional markets include North America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Central & South America and Asia Pacific. Developed regions such as North America & Europe dominated the global market in recent past. North America dominated the global market due to the constant R&D initiatives along with product innovation which is leading to the better product development. Rapidly advancing economies of Asia Pacific and Central & South America are expected to witness huge demand for this system over the forecast period. Asia Pacific is projected to observe positive growth in this market owing to rapid telecom and IT sector expansion. Emerging economies such as China and India are presumed to lead the regional market over the forecast period.
Such management software in the telecom industry market is highly cost intensive and requires substantial initial investment. Companies are anticipated to engage in acquisitions & mergers to gain market share. The industry is presumed to witness several new entrants owing to high demand, low entry barriers and ample opportunities offered by the developing regions.

One of the major risks of driving a sport-utility vehicle (SUV) is the risk of a rollover accident. These vehicles are tall, which creates a higher risk of sideways forces pushing them onto their sides. Rollover crashes occur in only around three percent of serious collisions, but they pose a major threat to the victims inside the SUV and inside other vehicles impacted by the crash.
For example, if you're traveling next to an SUV when it collides with you, the fact that it may roll could put you at risk of greater injury. If the vehicle rolls over the top of your vehicle, it could crush the hood and cabin, injuring the people inside your vehicle. Additionally, if you're hit in a head-on collision, the height of the SUV's bumper is unlikely to match up with yours, making it more likely that your front end will be crushed under the bumper. This means that the SUV's bumper could actually hit your windshield.
The truth about SUV safety is that newer models are safer. They're made in ways that create more balance and better aerodynamics, so they're less likely to roll. Many vehicles now have special safety systems that help control braking and other emergency procedures, which helps drivers avoid collisions altogether.
If you're a victim of an accident with a negligent or distracted driver who hits you with an SUV, you may be able to seek compensation from their insurance provider or by suing the driver directly if no insurance coverage is available. Having a larger vehicle doesn't give a person the right to act in a dangerous manner, and the law is there to help you request compensation for the pain and suffering you've been through.

Simon Cowell's X Factor "nightmare" will continue for at least another week after twins John and Edward survived the latest public vote.
Instead it was Rachel Adedeji who was left in tears after she got the boot in her third sing-off.
Adedeji faced Lloyd Daniels – who was suffering from a sore throat – after they received the fewest public votes.
Judges Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh backed Adedeji while Cheryl Cole voted to save Daniels, leaving Cowell with the deciding vote.
Cowell said Adedeji sang much better than Daniels but he could not ignore her lack of popularity with the public.
He used his vote to create a tie which meant the decision rested solely on viewers' votes.
Tears rolled down Adedeji's cheeks when she was told she had received the lowest number and was leaving the show.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported me," she said.
"It's been amazing and I got to meet so many lovely people and work with great judges."
She told her mentor Dannii Minogue: "You're amazing."

About - Jill Thirza Cooper
Photo by Gracie Hagen
Hey there! I'm Jill Cooper, an architect/set designer gone to the art-side! After years of working on projects that require structure and inhabit a particular space, I now explore deep color, flowing movement, and open swaths on canvas. Color and movement were always present in the design of my built forms but as a painter I am constantly drawn to the expansive, ever changing vistas of the sea and sky.
My journey to paint the sea…
Water figured prominently in my formative years. I grew up in a tiny fishing village on the coast of Newfoundland. As a kid I spent my summers as a Sea Cadet on the water in Nova Scotia, and became a lifeguard/swimming instructor in my teens.
Then, I spent a LOT of years in university (B.Sc. in Computers, a Bachelor and Masters degrees in Architecture.) It was there that I stumbled onto painting. I started with small scale gouache on paper, using melting, swirling colors as an escape from the rigors and technical requirements of school. Painting took a back seat after graduation and a move to Toronto. I spent an awesome, crazy-busy, fifteen years working as a set designer with some of the best and brightest in Canadian Television. (For a peek at a snazzy video about the design and build of my Daily Planet set on the Discovery Channel a few years back, check out http://jillcooperdesign.blogspot.com ).
Life changed again when I met a very talented writer from Chicago at the World Horror Convention in Toronto! It didn't take long to fall in love with Jude Mire and his two awesome daughters, and be spirited away to Chicago. In a couple of years we formed a custom frame shop/gallery, AND a third daughter! It was after the birth of the baby and the business that I finally found my way back to painting. In desperate need of a creative outlet that was also some solo time, I carved out a few hours in the back of our shop to start slapping some paints around. This time it was acrylics and canvas and let myself happily jump around wherever my brush led me. My saturated color abstracts evolved into seascapes and I started to study some of the sea painting greats, like Turner and Aivazovsky. Moving into liquid landscapes, like where I grew up, was a natural progression.
My first year of acrylics produced the twenty pieces that comprised my first gallery show; A Slice of Undertow. A combination of pure abstracts and water themed studies, called "Ode to the Masters". (All but one of the Masters series has sold.) I have since moved to even larger canvases and water soluble oils (which I love – handles like "buttah" on the brush). My first years of painting were largely related to exploring technique and mediums. Now, while I continue to develop my painting chops, I have the desire to express more than layers of clouds and waves. It is important to me to create something captivating, that strikes a chord, captures a moment, even if it is just the evocation of wonder and beauty in the natural environment, looking beyond the built form into the skies, the seas, the heavens.
Beyond the seas…
A couple of summers ago, my family and I took a giant plunge to forge another home back in Canada, on the coast of Nova Scotia. We spend our time straddling these two adjacent, but surprisingly different countries. It has been hard for me to reconcile my innate desire to create "pretty" paintings while concerned not only with the political instability of the nation of half my family and friends, but with global climate uncertainty.
My husband, the writer, who is much better at introspection and articulating such things, once declared that I am, as he is, an "egalitarian futurist". I have tumbled this phrase around in my brain many times since then. I have always believed that all humans should have equal rights in a safe, healthy space on this planet as long as as we don't go around trying to infringe our crazy shit on someone else. Or something like that. "Egalitarian futurist" sounds better! With that in mind, I have been working on a variety of painting series' that bridge my love of rendering of water and sky with the pull of my outrage over of inequality and oppression. "Her Steady Horizon" and "Seeing Through the Smoke" were the first two in that vein. And because I need levity I also completed my #50quickies series, posted on instagram, last year to celebrate my 50 whole years here on the planet!
To see my painting life in action, check out my instagram and Facebook pages.
NOW, to go get my paint on! xo, j

Baby girl gave me the countdown the other day…yes, that's what I said…the countdown.
It was bath time and she wasn't in the mood to cooperate with Mommy. So she was running around and causing lots of mischief. Now Baby girl knows when she's pushing the boundaries and she also knows just how darn cute she is so sometimes she tries to use her adorability factor to try to get away with stuff. She will just throw her head back and laugh as she refuses to put on her PJ's or she'll give me the big brown puppy dog eyes when I catch her putting her barrettes in her juice.
But I was tired and it was time for the girls to go to bed, plus Diva girl really wanted a story before she went to sleep so I was trying to factor all that in and make sure they still went to bed at a decent hour.
Well Baby girl wasn't interested. Now, I had 2 choices…
Firm tone with consequences.
Yelling was my first inclination (yeah I know…bad mommy).
I went with the firm tone just so you know. Then I gave her the countdown.
1-2-3-4…..don't let me get to 5
This usually works quite well, as the girls know that waiting until 5 is not their best option. Privileges and treats are in jeopardy and the threat of time spent in their room looms over them.
Well, she let me get to 5. Yes, she did. So she was put in her room while I helped Diva girl get ready for bed.
Now that the attention was no longer on her, Baby girl proceeded to wail at the top of her lungs (she was laughing in between so don't feel too bad). Then she decided she wanted me to come help her get dressed after all, to which I said "When you are ready to listen to Mommy, then I will come back in there…"
The child started counting…
Now Diva girl is staring at me in shock and then she burst out laughing. I told her to stop and she said…
"But Mommy, it's so funny!" and since I was trying not to laugh myself, I told her to try to laugh quietly so Baby girl didn't hear us.
One…two….'free'….four….DON'T LET ME GET TO FIVE MOMMY!

What are cookies and how do they work?
Cookies are small files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Your browser sends these cookies back to the website every time you visit the site again, so it can recognise you. This allows websites to tailor what you see on the screen.
Do you use other technologies which are similar to cookies?
Our websites, apps and emails often contain small invisible images known as 'web beacons' or 'tracking pixels'. These are used in a way similar to cookies, to understand when a particular part of a webpage, email or app is viewed.
Our apps often use device identifiers in the same way as cookies as used on web browsers. A device identifier is a unique number on your device which allow us to remember your device.
We use these similar technologies on websites, emails and apps, for the same purposes and in much the same way as we use cookies on websites. We will use "cookies" and "websites" below as shorthand for "cookies and similar technologies" on "websites, emails and in apps".
What do you use cookies for?
Cookies are an important part of the internet. They make using websites much smoother and affect lots of the useful features of websites. There are many different uses for cookies, but they fall into four main groups:
(i) Cookies that are needed to provide the service you have asked for
Some cookies are essential so you can move around the website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you've asked for can't be provided. These cookies don't gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering your browsing history. For example:
- Keeping you logged in during your visit; without cookies you might have to log in on every page you go to.
- When you add something to the online shopping basket, cookies make sure it's still there when you get to the checkout.
(ii) Cookies used to improve your browsing experience
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your language or region and they provide improved features. For example:
- Remembering your preferences and settings, including marketing preferences.
- Remembering if you've filled in a survey, so you're not asked to do it again.
- Showing you information that's relevant to products of ours that you have.
- Showing 'related article' links that are relevant to the page you're looking at.
- Remembering a location you've provided us with to provide local weather forecasts.
- Linking your browsing history collected by analytics cookies to your registration details to provide you with recommended content and marketing
- Restricting the number of times you're shown a particular advertisement. This is sometimes called 'frequency capping'.

Brighton newcomer Steven Stride specialises in crunchy mope-rock somewhere between Elliott Smith and early Modest Mouse. It's Conor Oberst's Desparacidos his new single 'Everyone's Problem, No One's Problem' most recalls though, weaving a saucer-eyed, disenchanted tale of Generation Y drudgery, pay day loans and small town ennui around jangling guitars, snaking bass lines and snarly vocals.
Taken from his upcoming second album 'How To Become A Recluse', and with mightily gritty production courtesy of fellow rising seaside talent Vincent Vocoder Voice, it's a torch song for anyone who's ever felt a grim weight of expectation of the modern world on their shoulders: "what would your mother say? What would your father say?" wonders its bridge. I can't speak for Mr and Mrs Stride, but if I were them I'd be suitably impressed. Check out the track's excellent animated video below if you know what's good for you. Follow Chalk on Facebook here. 'How To Become A Recluse' is released via excellent Brighton DIY imprint Sonic Anhedonic (Eugene Quell, Lunchtime Sardine Club) later this year.

This prototype Jaguar XFR saloon is faster than the Jaguar XJ220 supercar. Inside, as it speeds across the Bonneville Salt Flats in the US state of Utah on November 8, 2008, is Paul Gentilozzi, race-car driver. His son, John, engineer at the family's Rocketsport Racing company, talks Jaguar magazine through the record attempt.
"We took great pains to keep the car as close to stock as possible. That was our brief from Jaguar and we felt that it would be the only proper way to go at this record. The car arrived as a production prototype without most of the interior finishes. To conform to the Bonneville safety rules we would have needed to remove most of the interior anyway, although the dash and instrument cluster were identical to stock."
Although lots of the interior was removed, no doubt you had to add in a lot of safety equipment?
"The car had a full roll cage installed to meet Bonneville rules. A racing seat and a five-point racing harness were fitted. There were two fire-extinguishing systems on board, totalling nearly seven kilograms of extinguishing material. We also added a radio-communications switch to the steering wheel so that we were able to talk to Paul.
"There were only four additional aero parts added. We did not actually want to make any downforce as that always comes with a drag penalty. At best we hoped to go from the positive lift of the production car (nearly all production cars create lift), to a less positive lift or a slight amount of downforce. This was done mostly for stability. The boot extension and endplates help keep the air flow from the top of the car attached longer. The endplates specifically help prevent air from the sides of the car from curling around the rear of the car into an area of low pressure behind the trunk, which would cause drag. The flat floor was similar in function to the XFR's stock floor, but we extended the edges to join the rest of the body. The front air dam helped prevent the front of the car from lifting at high speeds, thus improving steering. It was slightly lower than the chin spoiler fitted to the Jaguar R models. There were also two roof rails – one down each side of the roof. These are required by Bonneville rules and are designed to improve aerodynamic performance at high yaw angles. Basically, they help limit the possibility of the car rolling over if it gets sideways at high speed. You will also see them on every NASCAR race car. We also used ballast – about 113kg of the stuff, bolted to a special carrier in the spare tyre bay in the trunk. Sorry… boot. Getting traction on the salt can be very tough and this ballast provided a huge help in sticking the rear of the car to the ground. A few people saw that the car did not have an interior and immediately said that we removed it to increase the speed of the car. This is not true as weight has very little to do with top speed if you're given enough room to accelerate (at a place like the salt flats). Aerodynamic drag, rolling resistance and horsepower are the most prominent determinants of top speed. Weight does have a place in the rolling resistance calculation, but it is negligible when compared to the aerodynamic loads. On course, the car weighed 2181kg, heavier than the 1891kg the road car weighs. So we may not have had the interior panels, but we sure had the weight."
What components were changed in the engine and gearbox?
"Only an uprated supercharger pulley was installed. The part was manufactured by the Jaguar prototype shop. A more direct air intake path was designed and fabricated by Rocketsports Racing. This created a direct path from the air intake to the throttle body to clean up the flow of air at high speed."
Didn't you have to change the gearing?
"No. This seems to surprise many people, but if you work out the stock gear ratios, the car is capable of some unsightly speed at the rev limit in sixth gear, so no changes were necessary."
Did the speed runs take place at one of the Bonneville speed trial events or on a closed course?
"Initially, we intended to go to the World Finals, which is an official Southern California Timing Association/Bonneville Nationals Incorporated (SCTA/BNI) event. To prepare for that, we spent four straight 18-hour days to finish the post-test work on the car and get it into our transporter. Two days after the truck left the event was cancelled due to water on the course – if you have hundreds of square miles of hard flat surface and you pour water on it, you will have a wonderful wading pool, but a poor race track. In the end, we arranged a private test organized by the former president of the SCTA/BNI."
Could you describe the course?
"We set up the course – it was five miles long and 36 metres wide – only to have it washed away when high winds moved water over it. So we made another course and achieved a speed of 219.1mph (352.5kph). The next day the water moved again, so we made another course in a different area, this time six miles long."
What are the rules for speed runs at Bonneville?
"We followed the safety rules, but since this was a private test, we did not need to conform to any class rules. This happens at sanctioned events as well, when cars are run in a 'time-only' category. The rules for the actual run are quite simple – start at the zero-mile marker and keep your car under control until the last speed trap. Going as fast as possible, of course."
How are the runs timed and adjudicated?
"We had no control over the way that the speed measurement was performed. An independent company called Chronologic organised the timing. It is also the official timer for the sanctioned events as well. The car is timed in two places. The first is the flying mile – this speed trap started at mile marker five and finished at mile marker six on the record run. The second is a speed trap – it is placed at the end of mile number six. This trap is exactly 132-foot long. Light beams are set up at precise distances. When the car breaks the first beam, the clock starts. It stops when the car breaks out the other side. At Bonneville, 'speed' is not measured – the time that it takes the car to travel a carefully measured distance is, and this time is used to compute the speed based on known formulas."
How many runs did you make?
"We made nine, with the 225mph (362kph) run coming last."
What speed did you hope to achieve?
"I believed that we would break the Jaguar production-car record. I thought we would do it during the early tests, but the oval simply wasn't large enough. We didn't attempt another run at Bonneville since it was fairly late in the day when we broke the record and we had some promotional filming to do with the car. Also, after you make a speed run it takes a long time to cool the car down to optimal operating temperature."
And this is a Jaguar production-car record?
"Absolutely. It's the fastest Jaguar road car since the XJ220."225mph!
"Well… 225.675mph to be exact."
THE DRIVER – PAUL GENTILOZZIThe Gentilozzi and Rocketsports Racing names have been associated with US motorsport success for many years. The team was formed in 1985 and is based in Lansing, Michigan. Paul is a five-time Trans-Am Series champion, and Rocketsports Racing has won seven manufacturers Trans-Am championships, five with Jaguar XKs. In addition to its success on the track, the team has become a leader in race engine and chassis design and construction. In 1994, Paul won the Daytona 24 Hours race, probably his biggest win as a driver.
"It was great to be driving a Jaguar again," says Paul Gentilozzi. "It's always fun to be doing high-performance, racing type activities, but my affection for Jaguar makes this very special."
"Driving on the salt requires great patience as grip, at low speeds in particular, is at a minimum. It requires very gradual throttle application."
"As top speed was our focus, we took only casual interest in acceleration, but the car was still fast from 0-60mph. I used the XFR's steering-wheel-mounted paddles to give me more control over the power application of the engine. Shifting gear at lower revs makes the car easier to control on the salt."
"At 70mph it ran really easy – like pushing a baby carriage!"
"I was quite surprised how the car accelerated from 100mph to 180mph. It was so comfortable that, at first, I thought the speed indicator was wrong."
"The car accelerated so hard to 180mph that 155mph (the speed at which the road-going XFR is limited) was just a passing thought."
"We tested at the Chelsea proving grounds' 4.7-mile, high-banked oval in Michigan, US. It was very easy to achieve 210mph. I did several runs holding the throttle flat entering the oval turns at 180mph – Sunday ride!"
"At 200mph on the salt, though, you begin to really feel the aerodynamic lift the car is subject to, your focus gets serious and your field of vision narrows. At high speeds, keeping the car in alignment with the track becomes your focus."
"220mph. The engine reaches 6400rpm and the car calms again. It's as if it is starting to have real fun. But at that speed you soon run out of track. We were prepared with a rules-required parachute, but only used it for a few photos – the XFR's brakes were great."
"I really didn't want to stop as the car is so much fun to drive. I was honoured to beat the record and be part of Jaguar's history; this brand has a unique ability to make you loyal."

What is Canva?
Australian company Canva.com is a website where you can create graphics and designs for web or print using a range of templates, graphics or your own uploaded images.
Images are created online, using Canva templates and you can upload your own images or use theirs for a fee. Non-Profits can apply for a free team account after submitting evidence of NP status.
How could I use Canva?
If you're responsible to manage or contribute to various social media channels, Canva makes it really easy to create some of the social media headings and image posts that those sites need.
Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr header images……….
Social media image posts……
Images for brochures, flyers and general promotional material….
Images to use for adverts for Facebook, social media, website ads…..
What I like is that Canva templates gets you halfway there when it comes to creating these images. You dont need to look up what the best dimensions are for each type of image, just start with the template. It means your time can go more on creating than setting up.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & goodroi
But why penalise? Why not just ignore? It's simple really. Firstly, Google doesn't like vandalism. It's a bit like just asking the shoplifter to leave the goods behind when they're caught. There's no sense of justice, and no deterrent to others. That deterrence is the second factor- and it is especially important when you're not good at spotting the theft/vandalism in the first place.
There has to be uncertainty. That's why they don't tell you exactly what's what, or which links are hurting, or why.
1.So is Google willing to punish some innocent sites in order to punish as many offenders as possible?
the Paid Link hysteria is exactly what Google wants
.. not sure Negative SEO is cost effective
Which brings us back to FUD. Paid Links are now scary again. So scary you worry not just about your own, but hypothetical ones from third parties.
@atlrus. That's one interpretation. Another is that Link Brokers are losing customers hand over fist as people exit the market, and they are agressively seeking to rebuild their customer base.
Personally I still think G is bad at finding all but the most obvious paid links, and mainly devalues them when they are identified. As such, sensible purchasing decisions should still result in effective outcomes. But that is not the majority opinion round here, and all the time that people talk about links (that you may or may not control) hurting you, more people become scared.
Well also, paid links (that work) make them look stupid
It is very nice in the ideal world, however, if you're working in an extremely boring and highly commercialized niche where there are dozens of big guys fighting for a slice of pie through the means of buying links, there's no way you're going to survive by hoping that someone would link to your super-duper unique content naturally.

The fly-half is the man who is responsible for implementing the game plan.
There is a lot of responsibility on his shoulders because of that.
Whether it is by kicking or passing, the fly-half is centrally involved in the game for a large part of the 80 minutes.
Tackling is becoming a big part of the responsibilities of a fly-half as well.
Communication with the backs and forwards is important too when it comes to carrying out the game plan.
A lot of work put in during training will mean that communication becomes second nature.
The fly-half tends to be one of the smaller members of the team. But size isn't that important, it's the skills that matter.
Not all fly-halves are the goal kickers on their teams but because I am, that is one skill that I practice regularly.
A major part of the game is kicking from the hands and it's important to put some work into developing that part of your game.
Jonny Wilkinson is regarded as one of the best fly-half around and he is able to do everything that is needed in the position.
That is the level that all other players who play in his position want to achieve, even players like me.
He is definitely the best fly-half I have ever faced.

Unfortunately, the fingers do not take a joke very well. It really does not take a lot to injure them. However, without an examination and some x-rays, it is not possible to determine exactly what is going on.
It sounds like you have some inflammation going on in the joint. This can cause swelling, decreased range of motion, and discomfort. Sometimes, when there is excess fluid in the joint, a mucus cyst will form around the joints of the fingers. A mucus cyst is just another name for a ganglion cyst. This can vary in size from tiny little bubbles to fairly large cysts. They can also feel very firm.
Most other nodules come from systemic disorders. Osteoarthritis commonly forms bumps on the distal joints, called Hebereden nodes. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is also known to form nodules. Gout can also cause tophi, or bumps filled with uric acid crystals.
But, yours showed up after trauma.
It is possible, with significant trauma, to actually knock a tiny piece of bone or cartilage off the edge of a joint. The body will then wall this piece off, forming a lump. The only way to know if this has occurred, would be to x-ray the joint.
So, if the lump does not go away shortly and continues to bother you, you might consider seeing a hand surgeon. If you go to a general practioner, you will most likely get the diagnosis of "arthritis" and told to ice, elevate, and take some ibuprofen, which you have probably already done. So, it is usually better to just go straight to the hand surgeon in the first place. That way you will get a thorough evaluation right off the bat.
In the mean time, try to protect the area from further injury. When your thumb in sore, it truly does seem to stick out and get injured more easily. So, if you can, you might want to wear some gloves or, at least, cover the thumb with a little padding. Ice or heat if needed for discomfort. And if you can take it, some NSAIDs like ibuprofen will help with any swelling from inflammation. Some patients prefer to tape or strap the thumb when working to provide a little support.
Hope your thumb feels better soon. Good luck.

Our Approach
We offer a connected presence with our participants to enable them to explore and develop compassion for themselves in a safe environment.
Our Story
Eileen's professional practice included supporting health professionals in a local hospital experiencing empathy fatigue. Her investigations into this area led her to connect with Dr. Kristin Neff and the field of self-compassion as an antidote to empathy fatigue. Rainer's journey resulted from the experience of a difficult life challenge and the need to find a way to move forward.
We began the adventure to mindful self-compassion in 2012 as a result of our individual and very different needs that led us to participating in a newly formed (MSC) Mindful Self-Compassion 5-day intensive training programs presented by Dr. Kristin Neff and Dr. Chris Germer. We found the MSC program to be very helpful to our lives and chose to pursue the goal of becoming MSC teachers and to bring the benefits of MSC to others.
We offer the 9 session MSC program in a weekly as well as 5-day intensive format in Oakville and Toronto through the Toronto based Centre for Mindfulness Studies. We also offer custom length MSC workshops for professional groups and other organizations.

Raise the left dumbbell straight overhead, palm facing forward. Next, position the right weight between your legs with arm straight, palm facing you (A). Squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor (B). Return to start. Complete all reps without lowering your arms, then switch sides. That's 1 set. Note: The light dumbbell should always be overhead. Go to C2.

Harbour porpoises at the weekend...
"While sailing this weekend on the West Coast of Scotland, we spotted harbour porpoises and a bottlenose dolphin. On Saturday, just after leaving Craignure on the island of Mull, we were making for the island of Lunga when I heard a 'blow' behind me. I looked round to see a dolphin two feet off our stern. It went under the boat and I went forward hoping to catch another glimpse at the bow but it had disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.
"On our way home on Sunday, again between Oban and the Sound Of Mull, we came across the tideline and saw two groups of harbour porpoises, about 8 or 10 in total. A great sight, watching them breaking the surface and disappearing again. Such a fleeting glimpse however it builds the tension and you are almost willing the next sighting on. It does not matter how many times you have seen dolphins, whales or porpoises, you never tire of that amazing feeling you get when they suddenly pop up in front of you.
"We did not make Lunga on the Saturday night so we anchored off a small just north of Lunga. With it being the night before the Summer Solstice it was light until very late on, even with a heavy cloud cover. Plenty of wildlife to watch though, seals relaxing on the rocks as well as gannets, shags and skuas.
"Back ashore, the drive over from the East Coast was not without wildlife encounters too. As we came through Glencoe there were more red deer by the road than I have seen for a long time and just as we came through Ballachulish, a roe doe with two kids right on the verge."
Please be very careful when driving late evening, early morning and at night, lots of wildlife about, do take care.
Please let us know of your sightings and experiences while in Scotland, especially if you have been out with one of our Wild Scotland members.

Whale Watching: the ethical alternative
Wild Scotland is supporting WSPA's anti-whaling campaign which is being launched this Monday at the start of the International Whaling Commission's annual meeting (see here for BBC article).
Wild Scotland took WSPA and Terry to Mull to join whale-watching company, Sea Life Surveys on a boat trip to celebrate a more compassionate way to profit from these stunning animals.
The minke whales which frequent our waters each summer, and which more and more people are wanting to see are at threat. The annual Norwegian whale hunt, which takes place every year in April has been awarded a 2009 whaling quota of 885 minke whales and has killed over 150 whales so far this year. These are the very animals which come to the safety of Scottish waters each year.
Do help support the campaign. Find out more at www.wspa.org.uk.

A Note from Wild Scotland Chairman
Wild Scotland was formed over 5 years ago, it was created because the operators recognised that the industry was growing and there was concern that the fragile resource we aim to share with the public could be jeopardised. So the operators formed a charter to work to, sort funding to develop best practice guidance and set up a not for profit body to give the sector a voice and the mechanism to respond to wider market concerns and demands.
Those principles still remain and during that period we have worked with Visit Scotland to develop a 'Quality Assurance' for Wildlife Operators, with Scottish Natural Heritage on the 'Best Practice Guidance' and with Scottish Enterprise and Highland & Islands Enterprise to raise awareness and gather research on the sector.
There are currently just fewer than 100 businesses across Scotland working to the Wild Scotland Charter and up holding the principles that were laid out in our formative years.
If you are going to take a wildlife holiday I would encourage you to use one of our members and you can be safe in the knowledge that not only will you get a great experience but the wildlife you have come to see will there in the future for others to enjoy.
Have a great holiday and keep on eye on the blog and website over the summer as the members report in their sightings.
If you have any great wildlife experiences that you would like to share with us please do get in touch via our website.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Ben Mardall

BBC Cameras at Wild Rose Escapes, Ross-shire
'Our spring flowers and greens are here, we have had our first harvest of nettles and dandelions, the swallows are back and the seabirds are settled in.
The growing season has started! This week I have been cleaning our demi-jons ready to make a batch of gorse flower wine - from Lizzie's granny's recipe.
We spent today mixing clay and bracken to make our first bread oven of the year, the best way to mix is to stomp! We have ended up with a beautiful dome shaped outdoor oven ready for tonight's homemade pizzas.
BBC cameras & us!
Last month we had the BBC filming one of our family holidays for the CBBC programme; Gimme a break- where the children choose the holiday, and they chose ours.
We started with a tour of Leckmelm farm with Lucy, feeding jock the Clydesdale horse, the pig with her piglets, holding the baby chicks, and collecting eggs. Lucy was a natural with the camera and the kids loved hearing all about the farm and its inhabitants both animal and human! The family returned to their cottage in Ullapool to a home cooked supper and still had time to pop out and see the stunning sunset.
The following day the family went for spot of fishing with Steven, a local gamekeeper, and afterwards went out on Brian's speedboat seal spotting. We ended the day with mussel collecting on the shore and a beach barbeque with freshly caught prawns donated by Gerry, a local fisherman, the family and crew loved them.
The family spent their last night in a castle just outside Inverness completed with a haggis supper and Highland piping.
If you are interested in watching us all we will be on BBC 2 and CBBC in September'.

May Wildlife Report from Isle of Mull
'May was very changeable weather wise with days when it rained incessantly and days when it was beautifully sunny.
The month began with great sightings of great northern divers and red throated divers and on the 1st May we saw our first fulmar of the year.
Golden eagles were seen on all but one tour in the month with a high count of 7 on the 10th. Hen harriers were about in good numbers at the start of the month and were joined in a few areas by short eared owls. These owls became harder to see as the month drew on as they started nesting. We hope the wet, cold weather does not prove to be a problem for these ground nesting predators.
I saw my first wood warbler of the year on the 9th and the next day we had 4 tufted ducks in the Loch Ba estuary, a duck we rarely see in
Shelduck ducklings were seen, 8 of them, but we have not seen them since, we hope mink have not taken them. The 21st proved to be a raptor fest with most of Mull's birds of prey were seen on the day including great views of a peregrine falcon.
Little birds prominent in the month include linnets and twite we are seeing these birds more often on the tours this year but the same cannot be said of the whinchat which have been in short supply, it was the 24th before I saw my first whinchat of the year.
It was 2 days later when we had a high count of white-tailed eagles with 6 being seen in the day. Bird-wise the month ended on a high with great views of a pair of summer plumaged long-tailed ducks, the drakes long tail showing very well and it was the first time I have seen the long tail on this predominately more northerly sea duck. The month finished with great sightings of Manx shearwaters and great skuas, I cannot wait to see what birdlife June brings.
The usual mammals were seen on most tours with grey seals being the obvious stars but mammal highlight of the month were 5 arctic hares all together on one tour, a terrific sight.
Bluebells and primroses got the month off to a fine start on the floral front and in the middle of the month a botanist pointed out 2 new flowers to me, the mountain everlasting near Eas Force waterfall and bogbean, a beautiful bog plant not far from
It has been a great month for wildlife watching and I can't wait to see what June will bring, so get out there and enjoy it, or better still come up to Mull and see it with us from our self catering chalets or on one of our tours or both. Enjoy the summer and we hope to see some of you on

Breitbart: A grouchy Chelsea Clinton took issue Tuesday with a joke reportedly made by White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon — accusing him of 'fat-shaming' White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
The former first daughter, who is definitely not running for political office anytime soon, was reacting to a report in the Atlantic about the scaling back of White House press briefings. The article included a text message Bannon sent to a reporter asking why fewer briefings were being held on-camera.
"Sean got fatter," Bannon reportedly quipped.
The response did not sit well with Clinton 3.0, who accused the White House of "using fat shaming to justify increased opacity." She also noted that the year is 2017 — just in case any of her followers weren't sure.
SNIP: See? Funny as hell.
You know what else is funny? It's funny that she looks like Donkey from Shrek.
Shut up, Chels.

Steve Martin: Millionaire No Taxeson Sunday, July 3, 2016
Steve Martin Money Quote saying we can't remember everything – even millionaires forget to pay taxes. Steve Martin said:
You can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You say.. "Steve.. how can I be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes?" First.. get a million dollars. Now.. you say, "Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, 'You.. have never paid taxes'?" Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: 'I forgot!'

We are placed in an ideal location near Chichester, West Sussex; close to Portsmouth, London and Guildford. We run our kitesurf lessons at Bracklesham Bay, and take SUP tours along Bosham Channel.
Take your riding to the next level! Radio coaching maximises your learning potential to enable you to develop the skills and confidence you need to achieve your personal kitesurfing goals.
Book your course now with our easy to use booking calendar! You can view our course dates and see the number of spaces available on each course.
We offer private tuition and group courses in Powerkiting, Kitesurfing and Stand-up Paddleboarding. Our kitesurfing beginner courses have a max student: instructor ratio of 2:1 to ensure our students get the optimal time
I have no hesitation in recommending Kate and South Coast Kitesurfing to get you out on the water and having a blast. Most importantly Kate was ultra-cautious and safety conscious whilst still making learning great fun. Kate's kit was all brand new, really easy and stable compared to other kites we had used. Knowing we always had the best size available for the conditions gave us massive confidence. Once we were going on the water, having the radio link with Kate made it really easy to receive tips on what you were doing wrong and immediately correct them on the next attempt. Suddenly we were progressing really quickly. Because Kate was mobile it meant we could either use our local beach if the conditions were right, or meet elsewhere when the wind direction was more suited to another spot. Kate at South Coast Kitesurf is simply awesome.
"Had a great time with Kate and the instructors. Did the 2 day intro course and learned a huge amount while having a lot of fun. It was really easy to arrange the course, would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to give kiteboarding a go."
"I had Kate and Tim as my instructors on a two day beginner's course and they were both great. Very clear intro to kiting; they made a difficult sport easy to learn! The wind died for the second day but rescheduling it was very easy and Kate is very accommodating. I had the best time doing it and I'm now totally hooked.. Going back for more next week!"
"Learning to Kitesurf has been one of the highlights of my life and Kate Ross was key to making that happen. Relaxed, yet focused, she is the consummate professional and I have already taken great delight in recommending her to many friends heading down the same path ! Ps she is also blessed as every lesson seemed to coincide with perfect wind and sunshine!"
"Amazing lesson was had on Wednesday, I would wholeheartedly recommend Kate to anyone who wants to try/learn/progress. Thank you!"

One year ago: Anxious to keep Syria's civil war from spiraling into even worse problems, President Barack Obama said during a visit to Jordan that he worried about the country becoming a haven for extremists when — not if — President Bashar Assad was ousted from power.
