Quality/Comfort of the accommodations
The SALOMON 4 TRAILS 2020 stops in very different regions (stage towns) of the Alps which are varyingly strong touristy developed. That regions consequently provide a various structure in bed capacity, classification of the hotels (room size and services) as well as in quality (facilities/furniture, modernness, breakfast offering) of the accommodations. We focus on the proximity of the start/finish area during the selection of suitable hotels, inns and guest houses. But of course the quality, comfort and the offered service are elementary decision criterions to collaboration with the hotel industry on-site. Please remember that HOST just can work with existing accommodations on-site. It can come to fluctuations regarding the quality and comfort in the for you booked hotels, inns, guesthouses or apartments. Especially fluctuates the breakfast offering from land to land, from region to region. We talk about that with the hoteliers in the respective stage towns in advance to provide an extended breakfast offering for you. Our cooperating establishments are very endeavoured every year to make the stays as enjoyable as possible for all our guests. The most of our guests are very satisfied about the booked accommodations. That shows our annual satisfaction survey.

Phuket Yacht Charter Guide
Discover Thailand's Yachting Hotspots of Phi Phi, Krabi and Koh Lanta on your Phuket Yacht Charter - Book your Crewed Motor Yacht, Catamaran and Bareboat Sailboat for Winter 2020
About Phuket | Phuket Yacht Charter Overview | Phuket, Phang Nga Bay and the Andaman Sea | Similan Ilands | Surin Islands | Getting There | Climate | Our Phuket Charter Yachts
Phuket is undoubtedly the jewel in the crown of Southeast Asian yachting. With easy flight connections from around the world, warm tropical weather during the European winter, white sandy beaches, great snorkelling, diving, and fishing. Not to mention, the Thai culture and cuisine, with some of the most amazing scenery to be found anywhere in the world. It is easy to see why Phuket has developed into a world-class cruising destination, offering a range of activities to experience whilst onboard your charter yacht.
Our Phuket Charter Yachts
Phuket attracts people from all over the world and thus has a wide variety of yachts to choose from, based on a variety of marinas on the east coast of the island.
Phuket Crewed Luxury Yachts
There is a selection of luxury crewed yachts based in Phuket, plus a larger number of superyachts visiting the area between November and March each year. They all offer charters to the more remote areas surrounding Phuket; such as Langkawi, Malaysia, the Similan and Surin Islands, the Andaman Islands of India, and the Mergui Archipelago of Myanmar. Each of them unique. The Phuket-Langkawi route takes guests to the much less visited southern Thai islands around Koh Lipe, and on to the duty-free island of Langkawi, Malaysia. The Similan and Surin Islands, on the way to Myanmar, offer the best diving and snorkelling in Thailand. The Andaman Islands and Myanmar truly offer final frontier exploration sailing, where you are probably not going to see another yacht during your cruise! Just nature at its unexplored finest.
Phuket Day Charter Motor Yachts
With its amazing above water scenery, world-class beaches, and colourful marine life, even people staying in hotels and resorts are compelled to experience the full beauty of the area by chartering a motor yacht for the day. There are several popular destinations to choose; northeast to Phang Nga Bay to admire the sheer limestone cliffs and visit the famous James Bond Island. Or head east to the glorious white sandy beaches of Krabi, and wonder at the rock climbers scaling the surrounding cliffs. Travel southeast to the world famous beaches and clear blue waters of the Phi Phi Islands, or south to the less visited Ko Racha and its almost pristine beaches and marine life.
Phuket Bareboats and Catamarans
The extensive sailing grounds in all directions from Phuket has led to the development of a robust bareboat charter market, with monohulls and cats from 30ft to over 50ft available. Kayak through the mangrove swamps or alongside sheer limestone cliffs to the northeast of Phuket, then sail south to the clear, sparkling waters of Phi Phi, Lanta and Ko Racha. Don't forget to test the snorkelling equipment on board! All the while admiring the breathtaking scenery both above and below the water. If you want more time to relax, all of these yachts offer the option to add a skipper, cook/hostess and full board catering.
Phuket Recommended Spots
Phuket is the hub of sailing in the Andaman Sea, the perfect starting point to explore the unspoiled beaches and amazing rock formations of Phang Nga Bay, or farther southeast to Langkawi, Malaysia. The adventurous may also want to sail northwest to the Similan Islands, Surin Islands and the unspoiled Mergui Archipelago of Myanmar.
Key Phuket Yacht Charter Sailing Areas
Phang Nga Bay
To the north and east of Phuket, is Phang Nga Bay consisting of 100 islands with incredible rock formations and towering limestone cliffs climbing vertically out of calm turquoise waters. This area is a marine national park leaving the scenery unspoiled, with caves and mangrove swamps to explore around every corner. It is a "must explore" destination for any Phuket Yacht Charter.
James Bond Island (Ko Tapu), pictured here, has become a major Phuket tourist attraction since it was filmed in the James Bond film, 'The Man with the Golden Gun". It is quite dramatic sticking straight out of the water and has become emblematic of the amazing topography of Phang Nga Bay.
But some friendly advice – it does get very busy in the middle of the day with day trippers from Phuket, so best to arrive mid-afternoon, anchor nearby for the night, and enjoy the relative peace and quiet of the end of the day and the start of the next morning when the day trippers have gone home.
See our Phang Nga Charter Yachts
Krabi is on the Thai mainland, almost directly east of Phuket Island. The vibe is more chilled than the chaos of Phuket, but still with the amazing sea mountain scenery, and coral-fringed islands that offer superb snorkelling. Railay Beach just to the south of Krabi is world class. Also just south of Krabi, a thriving rock climbing environment has developed. Unless you are feeling brave, probably best to open another beer on your yacht and just watch! Most Phuket yacht charters visit Phang Nga Bay and Krabi on the same journey.
Koh Lanta
Koh Lanta is an archipelago of approximately 70 islands located south of Krabi. Koh Lanta offers many white sandy beaches and a relaxed lifestyle that is less touristy than the beach towns of Phuket. Koh Lanta has several world-class snorkelling and diving sites, including the famous square kilometre of coloured coral, and the twin underwater pinnacles of Hin Daeng and Hin Muang.
See our Koh Lanta Charter Yachts
Phi Phi Islands
Even before it was made famous as the location of the movie "The Beach" Koh Phi Phi was a 'must-visit' yacht charter destination due to its spectacular cliffs and beautiful waters. The snorkelling, swimming and diving here are truly amazing.
Maya Bay is the most famous part of the Phi Phi group of islands, so best to avoid the rush in the middle of each day. For the middle of the day, take a tour of the other islands in the group, which are far less visited. Anchor outside Maya Bay at the end of the afternoon, wave goodbye to the speedboats as they take the day-trippers back to Phuket, and relax and enjoy some late afternoon snorkelling with just you and the fish, then watch a spectacular Phi Phi sunset. Phi Phi is also the only place in the islands off that has some nightlife, with a good selection of bars, restaurants, and clubs active until the early hours.
See our Phi Phi Islands Charter Yachts
Similan Islands
The Similan Islands, which lie northwest of Phuket, consist of huge granite boulders, which continue down to the sea floor to create a wonderful underwater world where the water clarity is breathtaking. The coral and marine life here makes the diving the best in Thailand, and compares favourably with the best in the world – a true snorkelling and diving paradise! The Similan Islands are an increasingly popular, but still unspoiled, Phuket yacht charter destination.
See our Charter Yachts in the Similan Islands
Surin Islands
The Surin Islands are 50 miles further north from the Similan Islands, part of the Mu Koh Surin National Park. They offer excellent swimming, diving, snorkelling and game fishing, and are virtually unspoiled and uninhabited.
In the Similan and Surin Islands, the game fishing is superb - the best in Thailand. But please note that you are only allowed to fish outside the national parks.
See our Surin Islands charter yachts
Getting There
Phuket International Airport, located on the northwest coast of Phuket, is the second busiest airport in Thailand. It is the gateway for millions of tourists every year to the paradise island of Phuket and the surrounding Andaman Sea and has a wide range of incoming domestic, regional and international flight routes for guests to choose from. Popular Southeast Asia routes into Phuket include from Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, Seoul, and Beijing. European and US passengers can connect with Middle East carriers in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, or fly into Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport and take a short 1-hour hop down to Phuket. There are also direct flights to Phuket from major Australian cities such as Sydney and Melbourne. The airport is also not far from most of the charter yacht marinas on the east coast of Phuket, so no long minibus/taxi transfers after your flight. Yacht Haven Marina is only 20 minutes away, Ao Poh Grande about 30 minutes away, Boat Lagoon and Lagoon about 45 minutes, and Chalong Bay about an hour away on the southeast coast.
From October 2016, to cope with increasing passenger numbers, the airport now has 2 terminals. The new Terminal 1 is for international flights, and the existing Terminal 2 is now used for domestic flights. For guests doing a Myanmar charter, there are 2 alternatives. Fly to Phuket and take a 4-hour minibus ride north and meet your yacht at the Myanmar border at Ranong-Kawthoung. Fly Bangkok to Ranong, on the Thai-Myanmar border
Phuket Climate and Weather
The first thing to say is, this is the tropics! There are no 100% guarantees of the weather in any tropical destination, only average weather patterns over many years. You can get heavy rain showers in the dry season, and a week of glorious sunshine in the wet season! The weather is always warm, sometimes more humid than other times, with the rainfall patterns being the main weather variable. The hottest months are usually April/May, with the relatively cooler months being November to February. The dominant weather pattern around Phuket and the Andaman Sea destinations of Langkawi, Myanmar and the Andamani Islands, are the monsoon winds.
November to April - Northeast monsoon wind season
Winds are coming from the northeast across the landmass of mainland Thailand, with most moisture being dumped on the mainland before reaching Phuket. This means below average rainfall. You often have long periods with no rainfall and constant sunshine during this period, and all the Andaman Sea sailing areas are open for business - from the last frontier adventure sailing of the Andaman Islands and Myanmar, to the Similan and Surin Islands north-west of Phuket, to the famous limestone scenery of Phang Nga Bay, the beaches of Krabi, Phi Phi and Ko Racha, and south to Ko Lipe and Langkawi. Weeks of fantastic cruising await you in the tropical sunshine.
May to October - Southwest monsoon wind season
Winds are coming from the southwest and picking up moisture as they cross the Indian Ocean towards Phuket. Typical weather during this period is sunny and clear in the mornings and early afternoon, with short rain showers late afternoon and evening. To the east and northeast of Phuket, amongst the glorious limestone scenery of Phang Nga Bay, Phuket Island to the west and mainland Thailand to the east provide protection from the winds from both directions. This means genuine all year round sailing possibilities. As you go further south and southeast of the main island of Phuket towards Phi Phi and down to Langkawi, this is a little more exposed. Therefore, sailing south and southeast will depend a lot on local weather conditions at the time.
The sailing areas to the west and northwest of Phuket, notably the Similan Islands, the Surin Islands, and Myanmar have no protection from the southwest monsoon winds, and those sailing areas are closed from May to October.
May and September
The most unsettled weather, and with the highest rainfall, is when the monsoon winds change direction in mid-May and mid-September. That is when you are likely to get a 2 or 3 week period of more consistent rain.

Please click here to go to the meditation page if you want to learn to meditate, or deepen your practice
We have a weekly drop in class on Tuesday evenings. Total beginners are very welcome. You do not need to "be a Buddhist", or even to know anything about Buddhism or meditation. You don't need to bring anything, and chairs are provided to sit on.
This is held at Millbridge Rooms (opposite the Hertford Theatre). Get there between 7.00pm and 7.15pm. We will have a tea and biscuit break half way through and finish the evening at 9.45 pm. Click here for more information about the location and parking. This class is co-ordinated by Keith.
It is absolutely fine to arrive late. Just enter as quietly as possible and sit down. It is also fine to leave early.
If you want to join our online community, please do some (or preferably all) of the following:
- sign up to our email list on this page. We normally send out just one email a month to let people know what is going on
- Visit https://www.meetup.com/Hertford-Buddhist-Meditation/ and click "join us", and RSVP when you are coming to our meetings. You can use first name only, and don't need a photo. This is an excellent free site, and helps us stay connected with each other. You can also message each other and/or leave comments etc.
- If you are on Facebook, like our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/HertfordMeditation/ and like, comment, share some of the posts, and sometimes check in when you come to our class.
And of course come along to one of our meetings.
We normally get between 20 to 50 people – (average is about 32) every week. This normally includes several newcomers who know nothing about Buddhism or meditation.
We practise two traditional methods of meditation:
1) Mindfulness of Breathing (this is a basic mindfulness meditation. As your thoughts gradually quieten down, you enter a deeper, richer, space).
2) Metta Bhavana (allowing loving kindness to arise, and directing it towards ourselves, a good friend, a neutral person, someone we don't like, and expand outwards to all beings in the Universe).
If we do mindfulness of breathing on one week, then we usually teach metta bhavana the following week, as it is important to do both.
If you practise these meditations regularly, and set up the right conditions, they will start to affect your daily life, which can lead to feeling lighter, happier, more joyous, kinder etc.
I would definitely recommend that you meditate every day – maybe start at 10 minutes a day , then fairly quickly increase to 20 minutes a day. You will find meditating for 20 minutes a day makes a tangible difference. And then you can make it longer (30 to 40 minutes), as suits your lifestyle.
The classes are taught in a Buddhist context, but you do not have to "be a Buddhist", or even know anything about Buddhism.
The classes do build on each other, and you will go deeper into the practices if you come to several of them. But at the same time I will try and keep them all as self contained as possible, so you can drop in and out, as you please.
You do not need to bring anything. We have mats, cushions and chairs available for you to sit on, but if you have a meditation stool or something like that, you are of course welcome to bring it.
The first half of the class will be meditation, then we will have a tea and biscuit break, then in the second half there will be some teaching and discussion on meditation and/or Buddhism. It is definitely not about believing in anything. There is no "God" in Buddhism, and we learn from our own experience rather than believing things because it is in some ancient scripture, or because a guru told us to believe it.
If you ever want to discuss your meditation practice, or have any questions about Buddhism or about how to get more involved or take things to a deeper level please feel free to ask one of the teaching team, who will almost always be able and willing to give their input.
The classes are free of charge, but if you could possibly contribute towards the room (and other) costs, this would be greatly appreciated. Suggested donation is £5. We are not funded from outside, we have to cover all the costs ourselves for this class to continue.
Please contact myself, Rob, Leah or Helen if you have any questions. There are a couple of ways of getting in touch:
- message us on meetup.com There is a contact button under our photos .
- Message us on Facebook
Take your pick. Or just turn up one Tuesday 🙂

All prizes and jury statements at a glance
VIENNA SHORT FILM AWARD 2017 - Best International Fiction & Documentary Film
"The Rabbit Hunt" (US) by Patrick Bresnan
awarded € 4,000 by the City of Vienna
Jury Statement: A "fly-on-the-wall" enterprise that turns thrillingly "run-and-gun" to plunge us into the lives of its marginalised protagonists, this film is a compact marvel that shows what a truly talented director can do with the short-film format. It provides a timely glimpse into the tough, but sometimes joyful realities of the rural United States at one of the most turbulent-and increasingly alarming-points in its history. The Vienna Short Film Award, in the Fiction & Documentary section of Vienna Shorts 2017, carries a prize of € 4,000 donated by the City of Vienna and goes to Patrick Bresnan, for "The Rabbit Hunt".
VIENNA SHORT FILM AWARD 2017 - Best Female Director
"Yo no soy de aqui"("I'm Not From Here") (CL, DK, IT, LT) by Maite Alberdi & Giedrė Žickytė
awarded € 1,000 by the Elfi Dassanowsky Foundation
Jury Statement: Our first award is a prize which since 2010 has been annually awarded to the best female director in the "Fiction & Documentary" competition. We present this in conjunction with the Elfi Dassanowsky Foundation, in honour of the Austrian-born opera singer, pianist, educator and film-producer, who died in 2007. This year's prize - amounting to € 1,000 as generously donated by the Foundation- goes to a sensitive, surprising and touching portrait of an individual fighting to retain her identity and independence despite failing mental faculties. The winners are Giedrė Žickytė and Maite Alberdi, for "Yo no soy de aquí" ("I'm Not From Here").
ASIFA AUSTRIA AWARD 2017 - Best Animation Avantgarde film
"Casino" (CA) by Steven Woloshen
Awarded € 2,000 by ASIFA Austria
Jury Statement: The films vital energy, its shape shifting qualities and synaesthetic power left the jury in a state of pure joy. It was hard to escape the films rhythm and striking colours, as well as the many details portrayed in it's way too short 4 minutes! All that, despite it's minimalistic techniques as it was all done with only a pen. I am very happy to announce the winning film is "Casino" by Steven Woloshen.
ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE STIPEND 2017 - Special Achievement
"Orogenesis" (ES) by Boris Labbé
awarded € 1.050 & a one-month stay in Vienna by MuseumsQuartier / Q21
Jury Statement: The Artist-in-Residence Stipend for a special achievement goes to a film that has a unique tactile quality to it. The innovative visual form and the precise editing succeeds to stylise growth and destruction in a very elegant and sensitive way. The award goes to "Orogenesis" by Boris Labbé.
Special Mention - Animation Avantgarde
"Figury niemozliy i inne historie II" (" Impossible Figures and Other Stories II") (PL) - Marta Pajek
Jury Statement: We have been deeply impressed by the ability of condensing in a short film the complexity of a surreal female universe. This film travels between the conscious and subconscious in a magnificent way. Its great power resides in the possibility of being opened to infinite interpretations. We are very happy to announce that the honorable mention is for "Figury niemozliy i inne historie II" ("Impossible figures and other stories II") by Marta Pajek.
VIENNA SHORT FILM AWARD 2017 - Best Austrian Film
"In erster Linie" (AT) by Veronika Schubert
awarded € 5.000 by VdFS Collecting Society of Filmmakers and Vienna Tourist Board
Jury Statement: Floating shapes move ominously across the screen, constantly morphing, drawing and dissolving borders, at once as rigid and elusive as the machine gun of empty bureaucratic platitudes commenting on the very real and human tragedy of today. A film of stark simplicity and forceful immediacy that nevertheless is full of paradoxes, laying bare political and semantic hypocrisy. We'd like to give the Vienna Short Film Award for the Best Austrian Film, donated by the Collecting Society of Filmmakers and the Vienna Tourist Board and worth 5.000 Euro, to "In erster Linie" ("First and Foremost") by Veronika Schubert.
VIENNA SHORT FILM AWARD 2017 - Best Newcomer
"Srečno, Orlo!" ("Good luck, Orlo!") (HR/SI/AT) by Sara Kern
awarded € 2,000 by VAM Collecting Society for Audiovisual Media
Jury statement: The camera takes us into the most intimate and profound feelings of loss, in which the adult world falls apart and a child is forced to find a way out. A powerful, mature and assured piece of work, both on a technical and narrative level. The Award for the Best Newcomer goes to "Srečno, Orlo!" ("Good luck, Orlo!") by Sara Kern.
VIENNA SHORT FILM AWARD 2017 - Youth Jury Prize for Best Austrian Film
"Bier & Calippo" ("Beer & Calippo") (AT) by Paul Ploberger
awarded a €1,000 postproduction voucher by LISTO
Youth Jury statement: A hot summer, youthful imprudence in matters of love, a highway rest-stop, loving fathers, and Bertl the camping bus: a cool mini-road trip-story with beer and Calippo freezer-pops.From the opening sequence to the end credits, everything in this film is coherent: the cast, the colors, the selection and use of music.These elements, along with the actors' outstanding performances allow this film to turn a problematic theme into a loose comedy that stays with you even after leaving the theatre. For these reasons, we award the Youth Jury Prize for 2017 to Paul Ploberger for "Beer and Calippo" ("Beer & Calippo").

JURY PRIZE - Fiction
"A Brief History of Princess X" (FR/GB/PT) by Gabriel Abrantes
Qualifies for the Academy Awards® in the category LIVE ACTION SHORT FILM
Jury statement: This year's laureate of the award in the fiction section plays in a knowing and often hilarious way with cinematic conventions to cast an ironic glance at a fascinating example of "art maudit." We salute a film which, despite being one of the shortest in the festival, is also one of the most dense and deceptively complex. The winner is Gabriel Abrantes, for"A Brief History of Princess X".
JURY PRIZE - Animation
"Everything" (IE/US) by David OReilly
Qualifies for the Academy Awards® in the category ANIMATED SHORT FILM

The award goes to "Everything", by David OReilly.
JURY PRIZE - Documentary
"The Rabbit Hunt" (US) by Patrick Bresnan
Qualifies for the Academy Awards® in the category DOCUMENTARY SHORT SUBJECT
Jury statement: Whether or not our winning film eventually finds favour with the Oscars selection committees, we feel strongly that a work of such empathetic humanism and unassuming but intense social engagement deserves the widest possible exposure. Therefore we'd like to give the Jury Prize - Documentary to Patrick Bresnan, for "The Rabbit Hunt".

Cervical cap, London, England, 1915-1925
A cervical cap sits over the cervix. It acts as a barrier to sperm entering the uterus. The contraceptive is inserted by a woman before sex. It must be left in place up to six hours afterwards. This rubber cap was supplied by the Mother's Clinic. Dr Marie Stopes founded the clinic in 1921. It is stamped with the trademarked 'Racial'. This related to Stopes' belief in eugenics. This widely held theory in the early 1900s argued selective breeding could remove 'undesirables' from society.

Glossary: cervical cap
A barrier form of contraception. It consists of a thimble-shaped device which fits tightly over the entrance of the cervix. It blocks sperm from entering the uterus and thereby prevents fertilisation. Popular since the mid-1800s, their use has dropped dramatically in recent years.

Course content
Art is an expression of the human spirit. The study of art deals with cultural, social, religious, political and aesthetic meaning in the time it was created, the present and the eras in between. Think of how the Greek mythology of Narcissus – who has been portrayed in countless sculptures and paintings over the ages – was used by Freud to name a psychological disorder and is today used by politicians to symbolise the flaws of modern society. And think of how the destruction of art, be it by Byzantine iconoclasts, sixteenth-century Dutch protestants, or present-day adherents of IS, teaches us that the emotional and political significance of art goes far beyond the loss of objects.
The research Master's in Art and Visual Culture studies the relationship between art, the past and the present from various angles, including the interpretation of the cultural contexts of visual expressions and their transformations throughout the ages up to now. This programme is geared towards classical archaeologists, art historians and cultural scholars alike. You'll gain insight into general humanities methods and theories as well as those specific for those three fields. You can then go to focus on your own topic in the field of Art-Historical, Cultural Studies and Archaeology.
Europe and 'its worlds'
The programme welcomes students with interest in all forms of art and visual culture. Our own research primarily focuses on Europe and 'its worlds', including how European artefacts interact with and differ from the rest of the world. Our research studies artefacts in the broadest sense, ranging from the more traditional forms as sculptures, paintings and architecture to modern ones as film, digital art, the performing arts and even fashion. All our research is performed in collaboration with scientists from other fields within the Institute for Historical, Literary and Cultural Studies (HLCS). We are joined in thirteen themed research groups.
* This is a specialisation of the Master's in Historical, Literary & Cultural Studies.

Thomas M. Belk, the president of Belk Stores Services, a quietly run department store chain in Charlotte, N.C., died at Presbyterian Hospital there recently. He was 71.
Mr. Belk suffered complications after gallbladder surgery, said his secretary, Susan Blount.
Mr. Belk, who ran the department store chain with brother John M. Belk, was one of the few merchants who lived to see his family business remain a private, regional chain, rather than be taken over by a department store conglomerate. The company, which has about $2 billion in annual sales, has stores in the middle market of 11 Southern states. John M. Belk will remain the company's chairman and chief executive. No replacement for Mr. Belk was named.
Belk Stores was founded in 1888 by the Belk brothers' father, William Henry Belk. Belk Stores, a family business that prided itself on quality service, was transformed through the years into a chain whose name itself could attract shoppers, while it carried brands such as Estee Lauder and Tommy Hilfiger.
Mr. Belk served in the Navy in World War II, then joined the family business. He became president in 1980.
Mr. Belk is survived by his wife, Katherine; a daughter, Katherine Belk Morris of Southern Pines, N.C.; three sons, Thomas M. Belk Jr., H.W. McKay Belk and John R. Belk, all of Charlotte; a sister, Sarah Belk Gambrell of Charlotte; three other brothers, William Henry Belk Jr., Irwin Belk and Henderson Belk, all of Charlotte; and 15 grandchildren.

Backend as a Service or Platform as a Service — Which is right for you?
Datica Alumni — Former Chief Marketing Officer
Navigating the As-A-Service waters can be a choppy adventure. Different service flavors exist up and down the entire technology spectrum, starting as low as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) — access to physical hardware — all the way up to Software as a Service (SaaS) — what most people utilize daily, like Salesforce and Gmail. We've written before about different forms of cloud delivery.
Two options that sit near the middle of the spectrum are Backend as a Service (BaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS). While close cousins, they are ultimately two very different services. At Datica, we often find customers aren't entirely sure which is the best fit for them. Today we want to briefly explain the difference.
The Backend As A Service (BaaS)
A Backend as a Service couples a basic datastore with expressive user provisioning and authentication tools. Think of it like a NoSQL database someone else manages for you off in the cloud, except that access is via a REST API. A similar yet non-compliant service is Parse.com.
User provisioning and authentication are important in healthcare since applications need to limit who can access what PHI. The most common example is a doctor should only have access to his or her patients, not every patient in the application. Datica Compliant Cloud allows you to configure "groups" of users and then determine what data they should be able to access through Access Control Lists (ACLs).
The best use case for a BaaS is when data will only reside on either the device/browser and the BaaS itself, with nothing in between. A BaaS does not have any backend processing abilities, so it's not a good fit for data crunching or processing events like handling a batch of daily claims. If those aren't requirements, BaaS does most of the heavy lifting for you. Since retrieved Protected Health Information (PHI) only ever sits on the device or browser, you have no other HIPAA infrastructure concerns other than configuring the build in security tools to meet your needs.
The Platform As A Service (PaaS)
A Platform as a Service is something where you would deploy an entire application architecture. The full stack, from application code to database structure to backend workers, is deployed to your little slice of the cloud. That slice, at the infrastructure layer (networking and OS levels), is managed by the PaaS provider.
It's not too dissimilar from a "Host", but what makes a PaaS different are all the extra system additions a PaaS vendor provides. In Datica's case, we provide encryption of your data in transit and at rest, dedicated logging, monitoring, backup and disaster recovery, intrusion detection, vulnerability scanning, and more. All these additions are inherently part of Datica Compliant Cloud — they are baked in. You must have them as additions to your environment. This important concept is what separates a "Platform" like Datica from a "Host" like Amazon Web Services.
Compliant Cloud is just like Heroku, only we are HIPAA compliant. You would use Compliant Cloud if you are already using someone like Heroku, or if you are using a traditional host who doesn't have the compliant add-ons, like Amazon Web Services.
The reason you would select a PaaS is because you will be processing PHI in some capacity. It could be simply validating the data before storing, or maybe you are analyzing results, or perhaps you are combining data points to provide additional services. If you are handling PHI in any way other than simply storing it, Datica Compliant Cloud is what you need.
Your Use Case Is The Decider
Choosing between the two is relatively simple once you understand the difference. It basically comes down to your software application use case.
If you only ever plan to store and retrieve PHI and then display it in something like an iPhone app, then the Backend as a Service is for you.
Otherwise if you plan on interacting with PHI in any other way beyond simply storing it, you will want to opt for a PaaS like Datica Compliant Cloud.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to ping us on our Olark site chat, where we rotate team members to help with questions just like this, or send us an email at email@example.com.

The Differences Between the Process of Domestic and International Adoption; Available Grants for Both
Download Full Interview (MP3) | 00:28:00
This is a clip from an episode of Life Report called "Local Experts Clarify Domestic and International Adoption." In this episode I interviewed Stephanie Grant, Executive Director of Infant of Prague Adoption Services and Laurel Boylan, Founder of God's Waiting Children.
In this clip, I asked X.
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lAcJLfyY7o&version=3&hl=en_US&start=388]
If you don't want to watch the 3-minute video, you can read the full transcript below.
Josh Brahm: Okay, let's go to international adoption. Contrast for us — I mean, there is going to obviously be some significant differences between domestic and international adoption. What does that process look like?
Laurel Boylan: Well, sure. The process is very different in that the family — in most countries — must actually travel to the country where the child is from to do the adoption. And every country varies in how the process works. For instance, in Ukraine, the adoption actually happens in Ukraine. The matching of a family with a child happens in Ukraine. And that's why we're not an agency. We just help families go through the process, navigate through the Department of Homeland Security and the immigration process and so forth and the paperwork — and then hook them up with reliable people on the other end who then, you know, take it from there.
And so when you go to court, you are going to court only a week or two after bonding and meeting with your child. And then ten days later after the appeals period, the adoption is final. So by the time that you bring your child home — into your home and meeting your family members — that adoption is final in Ukraine.
And then the family chooses — California, it is optional — whether they want to re-adopt here in California or not. We encourage most families to go ahead and do that. But that's a very simple process compared to adopting a child from the start.
Josh Brahm: So pros and cons of international adoption, what would they be?
Laurel Boylan: We have two reasons people usually contact us for international. One, they are drawn to a particular country because of their own origin or they know of somebody who just adopted from that country and they feel moved to research that. Or they have heard somebody's horror story locally and they just think all adoptions will fall along that path, so they decide "I don't want to deal with, you know, that," and they'll want to go overseas.
And they want the adoption to be final. They don't want to risk having somebody change their mind once the child is in their home.
The negative part of it is that it is very expensive. Depending on the country, it can be very, very time consuming. Ukraine, we typically do in less than six months, but most countries are a year or more.
Josh Brahm: You have to spend a long time in the country too, right?
Laurel Boylan: Well, every country varies. Some countries require two or three trips, but they are not necessarily very long. In Ukraine, each adoption — from the time you arrive to the time you leave with your child is approximately six weeks. But there are three different ways a family can do it. They can make one trip, two trips, or make — both of them travel and then one comes back right after court. The other one just stays and brings the child home, which is what most families do. That's the cheapest.
Josh Brahm: And then you said that because the cost is greater, there are a lot of grants out there to help with that. Talk to us a little bit about that. I've heard that Steven Curtis Chapman's foundation –
Laurel Boylan: Show Hope.
Josh Brahm: Yeah, so just talk to us a little bit about that. What is out there for people that are wanting to do [international adoption] — and then I'm going to ask you if there are also grants for domestic adoptions, obviously.
Laurel Boylan: There are foundations all over the United States that have been touched by adoption, mission work, or foreign adoption in some way. Each of them have their own criteria. Some are income-dependent, most are not. Some require you to adopt a certain-aged child, or a certain number of children, or a child with a special need. Others do not. And so that's where one of our missionary projects is to stay on top of what's available and to help families.
We also believe in families connecting with other families for fundraising. And the power of Facebook and the power of the internet is amazing in trying to raise money for adoption. You share a story out there and people end up raising the money. It's just really, really fun to see it come together.
Josh Brahm: And are there also grants and things for people who want to do domestic adoption, but don't have a lot of money for that?
Stephanie Grant: Absolutely. And Steven Curtis Chapman also provides grants for domestic adoption. Also, there is a tax credit that was just renewed. I don't know the exact number, but it's $13,000-something. But yeah, it's a tax credit, which is a great support for –
Laurel Boylan: It's foreign or domestic.
Stephanie Grant: And that's great. The other thing — with Infant of Prague, we have a sliding scale. And so we try to make it as affordable as we can for individuals and knowing that it is a financial commitment. We have found with our families too that they are really creative in different ways. They fund raise and a lot of times families and friends will help.

An Update on the Situation with Russian President Vladimir Putin Banning American Families from Adopting Children from Russia
Josh Brahm: Let's talk about this Russia thing. A few months ago, Russia basically banned Americans from adopting Russian children. And this now — in fact, you said that you know someone who is being really affected by this. So real quick, if you could kind of explain what's going on there and also tell us about your friend just to give us a personal idea of how this can impact people.
Laurel Boylan: Well, sure. Currently, the — President Putin got angry and came out with some public statements that were very, very strong, basically saying that not only is he stopping adoption, but that he would not allow those families who had already traveled and met a child or already gone to court to finalize the process to bring them home. A lot has happened since that news article hit. The State Department has been very active in daily trying to work out an amenable solution.
At the moment, we don't have anything in writing, but the agencies are being told that anybody who has gone to court may be allowed to finish their adoption as long as it finishes by January 2014 because of the treaty that was signed last summer between the two countries. We've been told unofficially that anyone who has already met their child may be allowed in the next few months to go back to court and finalize their adoption.
But until we see something in writing from the State Department, I'm encouraging any family in that situation to not book a ticket. You need to have support and make sure that once you get over there, you're really going to be allowed to bring the child home.
Josh Brahm: This affects a lot of people. I mean, I've read there's around 1,000 kids from Russia that have been adopted by Americans in just 2010. So I'm kind of curious from both of you…what was your reaction when you heard this? Is this just a frustrating — why are we bringing politics and has this affected kids? Just kind of give me your reactions to this.
Laurel Boylan: My personal reaction? Oh, I was just livid. I was so livid — like yelling and screaming, and then I fell into sadness and literally was crying because I have a family friend who was supposed to be traveling the very next week to bring her — you know, to go to court, and that was their second trip. And they had their little boy's stocking on their mantle. They have five other children. They had already been bonding with Sergei. They hadn't actually met him yet — the family had met him, the mom and dad, just not the children.
And so it hit really personally to them and to me and it was hard.
Stephanie Grant: It's heart-wrenching. As Laura was talking about this family who has a stocking, ready to bring him home for Christmas, and I just think of our waiting families and just the process our adoptive families — they are very vulnerable, a lot of hoops they have to jump through. And I'm thinking — just with the international and the extra hoops of the different countries and things that — and to think of this particular family at that waiting stage, they had already met the child and they are anticipating bringing him back the next week. Really, it's just very sad to think that politics can — this child that was so excited to finally have some permanency, and now, you know, languishing in an orphanage, most likely.

How Teachers Can Make Teaching More Enjoyable
Many teachers realize that teaching can become quite a chore. From paperwork to parents, from colleagues to supplies, and overall working conditions. Being discouraged is not a good way to begin the teaching day. Teachers can burnout. So, what can you possibly do to make things better?
1. Go to bed early, get up early, and get to school early. The sooner you start your school day, the better. Why? Because the teachers who show up just before the bell rings, cannot possibly be prepared for kids. Some may disagree, but this shows your work ethic. You need more sleep than your students. You must be well prepared and organized. You can't do that with little sleep and no classroom time.
2. Stay after school. Get things done. Speak to parents and kids. Leave your classroom in good working order. Grade and prepare as much as possible. Home is not a great place for any of this.
3. Stop complaining. Of course things are not as good as they could be. But you took the job. You and you alone are the reason your students will learn and succeed. If you did not know that schools can be lacking and teaching was hard, shame on you. Complaining won't help. Nobody really wants to hear it anyway. Well, some do....
4. Avoid toxic teachers and staff. Don't become one of them. They are teaching killers. Why no look into what you can to improve things. Accept the things you can't change. Change the things you can. Recognize the difference. There are bad things you will just have to accept. So you must become...
5. A creative teacher. Make lemonade out of lemons. Look at the supplies and materials that are readily available to you. Make things happen out of them. It may sound like heresy, but there really is nothing wrong with spending a few dollars of you own money. The first person you should look to for "donations," is yourself.
6. Don't be selfish. It's not just about teachers. Every job comes with problems. Teaching is no different. But just like companies put customers first, you MUST put students first. Nothing else matters. Your students only get one shot. It's not a pleasant thought, and many teachers think otherwise, but you must sacrifice. There is no way around this. Teachers sometimes think that everything should be handed to them on a silver platter, and everything should be perfect. That's unrealistic.
7. Make life easier on yourself. You don't need to collect homework daily. You don't need to give out graded assignments daily. You can do oral work. Have at least one day a week that takes very little effort to plan and teach. You don't need to kill yourself.
8. Make friends with each parent. It takes little effort to call 5-10 parents a night. Be encouraging to them. Say positive things.
9. Be positive to your students. Make your class a real enjoyable learning experience.
10. You need to want to be there. Even if this means pretending. If you don't want to be there, how can you expect your students to want to be there? How many teachers and fellow staff members have you heard say how lousy of day it will be? I encountered many teachers, who even before school, were mumbling about how lousy it is. How is that going to make life different?
Teaching takes patience, endurance, willingness, eagerness, happiness, and hopefulness. Each day is new day! Forget the past, work on being better.
>> Learn how to be a positive teacher.

John Carmack hinted that he was going to show off a new project at QuakeCon 2010 today during his keynote. What none of us expected was to see Rage running on iPhone.
You may expect this to be a cut down, graphically inferior version of the game, but no, it was running at 60fps and looked stunning. It's the best thing we've ever seen running on iPhone.
Carmack also said it would run on the iPhone 3GS and looked great on iPad. We believe him.
Not only does this remind us of the genius that is John Carmack and id Software when it comes to producing impressive-looking games, it also shows how versatile the engine behind Rage is. id Tech 5 can produce a game that looks equally at home on the Xbox 360 as it does on the iPhone. Multiplatform releases definitely won't be a problem.
Head on over to Kotaku via the link below to watch the video of Rage running on the iPhone.

When my daughter was first born, I almost exclusively pumped because we had latching issues. After consulting with a LC, by around 5 weeks we were able to successfully transition to EBF. I would like to start pumping again to build my freezer stash up. I'm not sure my best avenue, should I pump before I feed her for a couple of minutes, after I feed her for a couple of minutes, in between feedings? I just tried in between feedings, but only got a few drops. I was using my manual pump (I do have a double electric as well). I'm wary of using anything to increase my supply because I am afraid of engorgement when I'm not pumping.
Any who, any insight or tips, greatly appreciated.

I came across a new brand called Cee Code (also available at Galeries Lafayette) and apart from having great bags in different shapes and designs, you can customize your bag at the design stage. How cool is that? This way, you will be sporting a unique bag that nobody else has (unless they decide to copy your design). The customizable bags are called Ceeplate- you can ask for anything to be printed on it from your name to your car's plate number.
They've also got different designs on the Ceeplate if you don't want a customized plate design.
Apart from Ceeplate, these are three of my favorites:
And here are the other funky bags from Ceecode:

Cee Code will soon be launching shoes and other accessories. Keep up to date with their collection on the website or the Facebook page.

ITsavvy Announces VDI Virtual Desktop Solution that is Fast, Secure, Reliable
October 24, 2016
ADDISON, Ill.—ITsavvy, one of the fastest growing managed solution providers in the U.S., just announced savvyDesktop, a leading-edge virtual desktop solution with the capability of delivering traditional desktop functionality through a private or public Cloud using a single administrative platform across the enterprise.
ITsavvy President and CEO Mike Theriault said, "For our clients, savvyDesktop is a game changer. It's perfect for the lean IT department that wants to cut administrative costs while improving data security. The entire experience is faster, more reliable, and more secure than nearly all alternatives."
With savvyDesktop, organizations can either opt for new thin clients or continue to use equipment that would otherwise be retired. The utility will also safely accommodate BYOD and is accessible from any device, anytime, anywhere. Features of savvyDesktop include:
- Platform Independence: Users connect through a browser on laptops, workstations or mobile devices, including PCs, Macs, iPads, Android tablets or smart phones– accommodating clients with varying user needs.
- Custom Configurations: Considerations can be made for heavy-duty software or data encryption requirements, so sensitive data will be secure and accessible 24/7. Using savvyDesktop, applications can be provisioned to one person or an entire group–specifying who has access. This adds a critical layer of security.
- Start-to-Finish Builds: For clients that prefer to maintain an onsite server, ITsavvy will design a system that is standalone yet still secure.
- Drop-Ship Thin Clients: Organizations can ramp up new facilities or staff expansions with overnight thin client shipments that can be configured virtually for immediate operation.
Users either work with their own devices, or receive laptops or thin clients that are networked to the corporate servers. This means no sensitive data on individual workstations. Files are stored on a centralized server, usually in the Cloud; with:
- A simple interface for users on any device, including BYOD.
- Anytime, anywhere user access.
- The ability to scale up or down–ideal for seasonal operations.
- A high degree of reliability and security; data is encrypted in transit and encrypted at rest
- Daily backup and redundancy.
Among the many benefits of savvyDesktop is the ability to uniformly and seamlessly upgrade all users' desktops and laptops without "touching" each device (including automatic spam and virus updates). This ensures that all users are always working with the same software version. It also extends the costly hardware obsolescence/replacement cycle. ITsavvy can deploy virtualization solutions for ITsavvy clients throughout North America and Europe.
ITsavvy customizes environments for each client, with virtual or onsite datacenter hosting. They provide 24x7x365 U.S.-based support to savvyDesktop clients through their industry-leading Cedar Knolls Data Center, which meets clients' specifications; is 100% compliant with HIPAA, HITECH, SSAE 16, PCI DSS 3.0 and is certified Safe Harbor and SOC 1.0 and 2.0.
"Our savvyDesktop is just one component of a commitment to virtualization that we have made with our recent investments in a state-of-the-art datacenter and managed NOC," Theriault explained.
The savvyDesktop solution is a key element of ITsavvy's Advanced Solutions portfolio of managed services. All of ITsavvy's Advanced Solutions feature: project oversight, customization, convenient migrations, guaranteed reliability, end-to-end capabilities, competitive pricing, mobile capabilities (including collaboration), and dedicated support. Advanced Solutions engineers hold advanced certifications in Citrix, VMware, Microsoft and Cisco.

They're Trying To Force Anti-immigrant Laws on Us
Posted on 16. May, 2016 by Amber Tucker
Outside interests affiliated with the Trump campaign are trying to re-write our local immigration rules. An anti-immigration bill, championed by Donald Trump advisor Chris Kobach, is nearing approval in the Louisiana Legislature. Please take a stand and say "no" to this attempt to meddle in local governance.
HB 1148 would undermine local law enforcement and levy harsh penalties on cities like New Orleans and Lafayette by pulling construction loans for new schools, fire stations, or port facilities. In the past three years, New Orleans' police department and sheriff's office decided to stop interrogating suspects about their immigration status because doing so discouraged undocumented immigrants from reporting crime and bred fear and distrust of local government.
Just last year, Louisiana enacted protections for survivors of domestic violence to ensure they don't get evicted when they call for help. HB 1148 would discourage them from calling for help, risking their own lives and those of their children for fear of detention and deportation. Please let your legislators know you oppose HB 1148 and its dangerous consequences for Louisiana families.
