Welcome to my Affiliate Bonus Formula Review. There are many ways to make money at home, and we often see the most popular form is to make money online, use a computer with internet connection to do everything on the network, even create a cash flow, long-term and sustainable.
These forms of monetization have tremendous potential depending on your ability, the better you can earn more, from some dollars to hundreds of dollars every month. It can happen and you will never worry about fraud, paying bills.
But these are not easy forms and require you to persevere, have passion, be willing to learn and go slowly as a process to be able to succeed. I think you do not want to stop at a few tens of dollars a month.
Do you know how much I've experienced many difficult to succeed today? At the beginning of this form of monetization, I was faced with not receiving any clicks from customers. I tried everything to solve it but the results were not as I expected. Giving up is the first thought I think in my head. But fortunately, a close friend introduced me to a course on the formulas that make a profit from affiliate marketing. I tried it and succeeded until now. I am continuing to participate in the next upgrade of the course. If you are interested in this product, continue reading the next sections of my Affiliate Bonus Formula Review.

Site Selection Stories: Toyota/Mazda, Part 12 Comments
Welcome to a special episode of JLL Chicago Industrial – Real Time. Our new, three-part mini-series, Site Selection Stories: Toyota Mazda, will take you behind the before, during and after of Toyota Mazda's historic, $1.6-billion investment in a new auto plant in Huntsville, Alabama. Meet the key players:
- Incentives expert Meredith O'Connor
- Site selection pro Trevor Ragsdale
- Industrial innovator Kris Bjorson
- Research guru Christian Beaudoin
Listen to this podcast with the player above or click here.
Over the past few decades, Toyota has been a key player in creating a thriving foreign auto industry on U.S. soil. Last year, the car company punctuated its success by opening its $1-billion headquarters in Plano, Texas. A site search led by JLL, the move consolidated top talent into the company's new, 2.4-million-square-foot home, laying the groundwork for a unified culture and team.
Toyota's 14 American vehicle, assembly and component plants have proved to be major boons for the markets they locate in, creating jobs and economic ecosystems that far exceed each factory's four walls. Recognizing the value of U.S. manufacturing and labor, Toyota committed to investing $10 billion in the country over the next five years.
In 2017, the auto industry giant needed a site for a new, multi-million-square-foot plant. With a hard deadline of going online in 2021, they needed it fast. After years of partnership, our team was already well-versed in Toyota's priorities and process and we mobilized overnight, marshalling resources from across the firm to attack the project from all angles. Our data-driven analyses of real estate, labor and incentives requirements set the foundation for an expedited site search executed with surgical precision.
When Toyota found a like-minded partner in Mazda, this undertaking, known as Project Mitt, was elevated to historic proportions. Mazda shared Toyota's philosophies around innovation and productivity, and both firms stood to benefit from the unique synergies of working together within one facility. The economies of scale, powerful supplier infrastructure and complementary manufacturing strengths will elevate both automakers with a never-before-seen competitive advantage in the industry.
When Project Mitt grew into Project New World, the playing field changed and we pivoted with it. Our proprietary, high-level screening model allowed our site algorithm to expand instantaneously and exponentially, as we strategically translated the project's ballooning parameters into actionable data on 100-plus requirements. By aggregating and ranking workforce, operating environment, site specifics, logistics, incentives and quality of life, we quickly narrowed the site list to those truly deserving of further, in-person exploration.
Up next, we're taking you on the cross-country search of 20-plus states in six weeks. We looked at everything from infrastructure to utilities to demographics, and the sites that differentiated themselves had clearly done their homework. Stay tuned for Part 2.

Naples Pier to stay open until July 18, Hurricane Irma repairs planned
Digital producer Derrick Shaw was at the Naples Pier during the solar eclipse Monday, August 21, 2017. This is a time-lapse video of visitors walking along the Pier. Derrick Shaw/Naples Daily News
Beachgoers will be able to stroll on the Naples Pier and grab a snack for a couple more weeks.
The western end of the historic landmark, beyond the concession stand, has been closed for repairs since Hurricane Irma slammed ashore last September.
The work was scheduled to close the other half of the Pier, between the bathrooms and the concession stand, on Monday, but it will stay open until July 18, city officials announced Tuesday.
More: Naples Pier to close next week for Hurricane Irma repairs, reopen in September
More: Naples Pier repairs set to start after Fourth of July; reopening planned by Sept. 30
Repairs began in late June, and Zep Construction Inc. of Fort Myers said Tuesday its crews won't need to close the eastern end of the Pier as soon as planned.
Besides repairing damage from Irma, the $182,000 worth of work also will strengthen the entire length of the Pier to make it more hurricane resistant.
The work is expected to be completed by Sept. 10, provided the project is not delayed by bad weather.

SCRANTON, Pa. -- The project to turn an old department store into Lackawanna County offices is scheduled to take a giant step forward on Monday.
The old Globe department store on Wyoming Avenue closed in 1994. It was an office building for a while, until that company moved out.
It was empty until Lackawanna County announced it was consolidating its offices here.
On Monday, January 7, the county commissioners are scheduled to hold their first meeting in the new fifth-floor conference room.
The meeting is set to start at 10 a.m. People attending should use the main entrance, right in the middle of the first block of Wyoming Avenue.
Government offices have been moving in here for the last several weeks.
The county hopes to have everyone settled in the next several days.
It cost about $17 million to move into the former Globe Store.

I walked off the airplane in Buffalo Thursday afternoon but my feet still hadn't touched the ground. I floated through the terminal, down an escalator. I passed a stranger, no, a fan, there are no strangers in our little world, going up the escalator.
"See you at the Ball!" he said, and shot me two thumbs up.
"Can't wait!" I exclaimed. Feet still hadn't touched the ground.
From the stairs to the left of me, another fan chimes in, "Festival's canceled, dude."
"No it isn't," I replied.
"It really is though. Because of the flooding."
"No, it isn't," my feet were losing altitude, "and don't joke around about this stuff."

11 Oct How to make a Gluten Free, Healthier Version of Banoffee Pie
Posted at 23:16h in allergies, cake, cooking, dairy free, dietary, egg free, gluten free, I quit sugar, no sugar, pie, recipe, soy free, vegan, weekend 0 Comments
It's hard to make something beautiful and decadent without feeling overwhelming-cake-guilt after consuming it.
However, this Banoffee Pie is an alternative to the traditional version, making it a little more heart friendly and lighter, to ease the sickliness and sugar content. I combined recipes from Gluten-Free-Vegan-Girl and This Rawsome Vegan Life to create my own take on Banoffee Pie.
The reviews? Everyone loved it, simply because it was still sweet and rich, but not as overpowering and sickly as usual. I adapted this recipe to make it even easier, because I like recipes that are straight forward and simple, yet present well.
Gluten, egg, dairy (DF), vegan (V), and soy free.
1 cup of raw nuts
1/4 cup of coconut
1 tblsp of butter (use coconut oil for DF/V version)
1 tblsp of coconut oil
Caramel layer:
2 cups of dates
1 to 1 1/2 cups of water
Pinch of salt
Squeeze of lemon
2 tblsp of coconut cream
2 tbsp of almond (or any) nut butter
1/4 tsp of Vanilla bean paste
NOTE: If this layer is too runny add more nut butter
or you can also add dessicated coconut.
Top layer:
200g of thickened cream
(DF/V version: use refrigerated full fat coconut cream and whip)
4 squares of chocolate or cinnamon for DF/V version to grate on top
2-3 large bananas
Total Time: About 1.5 – 2 hours depending on how long you leave it to set in the fridge
|Line a spring board pan with baking paper and grease the edges
|In a blender add all base ingredients and pulse until smooth
|Spread mixture evenly into pan, pushing it around the
edges to form a crust, refrigerate.
|Place dates and water over stove top and bring to the boil
|Let it bubble until dates are nearly all disintegrated
|Take off stove top and add all other caramel layer ingredients
|Place in blender and pulse until smooth.
NOTE: If it's too runny add more nut butter, you can also add dessicated coconut if it's still too runny.
|Place 1 sliced banana over base
|Pour caramel sauce from blender straight into tin over banana
|Once caramel has set, place the rest of the banana over it
|Neatly spoon over thickened cream onto banana,
stopping at the outside bananas so you can still see them
|Grate chocolate over entire pie
Let's eat! Serve on it's own or with a strawberry for garnish.
Note: If you like your Banoffee more sickly sweet, you can make it sweeter by adding maple syrup or using more dates in the base and caramel sauce.
After each step be sure to refrigerate it to set.

artist in progress on documentation, 2015
In the beginning of this research I started exploring how documents are made. What interested me was the fact we want to measure and carefully document the results. We are being measured before we are born and after weve died. And all these results are somehow being written down in documents. If you think of it, the most absurd things are being measured and documented. This is inextricably linked to human curiosity. Learning about measuring and documenting the results, made me think of making a model that could refer to these proceedings. With model 1.1 which I call "Accesses" I am referring to humankinds age-old desire to gauge the scale of the world and the domestic custom of recording childrens heights on door frames. In this part of making the model I used my own experience of being documented this way. I couldnt relate with the thin line drawn on the door frame. The only one who knew all about this line and its resource was my father who set the line. A few years later my 'document of increasing length' was repainted with a two-tone design of brown and orange paint The document was erased. In my studies, I became increasingly convinced that a document is relative: it is constantly changing by all sort of influences or it is not readable or understandable anymore or they even just vanish. With this model I try to show the relativity of the document. The model is made of wood, aluminum, iron, and an automatic door closer. The measurements are in relation with the common human body The user is being measured by opening the access front lever. The 39 aluminum scanners scan the body when the user is slowly walking through. Notice that the user who is being measured cannot see the making of the outcome. Only the onlookers can witness that. The extent of displacement is mediated through the iron transmissions to the horizontal rulers which are moved towards the left depending the displacement. The broader the scanned body part is, the greater the displacement of the ruler is. When the measurement is done the on-lookers see the actual document which is made by visual connect vertically the rightmost tips of the rulers. Eventually the door closer will close automatically sliding the rulers back in begin position, therewith changing and finally erasing the physical document leaving an unwritten document with the onlookers. In fact the document is now existing on the most unstable medium there is: the onlookers memory. But for how long?

New Director And New Chairperson
Following our AGM at the end of October we are delighted to announce a change to the voluntary board of Directors responsible for guiding and assisting the senior management team within the company. Mike Robinson has taken on the role of Live Active Leisure Chairperson with Bill Duncan, who has held the role for the past five years stepping into the Vice Chair position.
Mike, who in his day job is the Chief Executive of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society commented, "I am grateful to Bill for his tireless work in support of LAL as Chair, and hope I can go some way to continuing his legacy. The next few years will undoubtedly remain challenging financially, with council and other budget cuts, but I am committed to the need for affordable leisure provision in Perth & Kinross and keen to develop more of the sense of community around sport and leisure.
As the main leisure provider in the area, the company injects around £25M into the local economy so its success is intrinsically linked to that of the area as a whole. With far more people across the area participating in sport and leisure than is the national average, it is obvious that we are also culturally important and will undoubtedly have a role to play in the bid for City of Culture status."
He continued, "I look forward to working closer with the staff team and Board at LAL to help continue the provision of high quality services, and to grow the number of people participating in active lifestyles in Perth & Kinross. And, of course, I hope to deliver our ambitious PH2O project within my time as Chairperson of the Board."
One new appointment completed the changes, with Mary Colvin joining the board for the first time. Mary is Senior Health Improvement Practitioner and works closely with the NHS, Local Authorities the third sector and communities. Her considerable experience in public health will allow us to further develop our position in the wellbeing sector, an area which we contribute substantial resource to and which benefits many less able and disadvantaged members of our communities.
Mary commented, "I consider it a great privilege to contribute to the further success of Live Active Leisure and look forward to working with the LAL team and in bringing my experience to their very proactive wellbeing and fitness programmes. By bringing a first-hand understanding of the challenges facing health and the NHS, the current political landscape surrounding wellbeing and the evolving opportunities through the integration of Health and Social Care, I hope to further strengthen LAL's position as a key player in delivering services that will improve the health of our communities."
Live Active Leisure's Board of Directors is responsible for guiding and assisting LAL's senior management team.
The Board meets six times per year with additional meetings arranged as necessary to address specific issues. The Board comprises of voluntary independent members and councillors appointed by Perth & Kinross Council. Find out more on our Board of Directors Page>>>

Χαίρετε πάντες!
The purpose of today's post is to provide some tips for people seeking to learn more about Hephaistos. This will in part recycle my same post about this topic when I did a Month of Devotional Thought devoted to Hera.
For a start, when you seek to worship this God and build a relationship with Hephaistos, don't overthink it. It is fine if you start out just daily pouring a libation of water to him. Don't try to overthink things and over-complicate things. Start out simple, do your research, and as time progresses the things you learn and the things He will inspire you with will help you build a relationship.
Keep in mind however that it is perfectly possible he will not in any way seem to react. Sometimes people can't form a strong relationship with a Deity, no matter how hard they try. This is perfectly normal, just like in your human relations sometimes there are people you don't "click" with. It doesn't have to be in a hostile way, but just people you don't really feel the need to build a strong relationship with, or who don't feel compelled to do so with you, even if you would like to. That's just something that happens and it can happen with Deities, as well.
As far as resources go, reading the Homeric and Orphic Hymns to him would be a must, reading all myths concerning Hephaistos is a must also. There is also the devotional anthology by Bibliotheca Alexandrina "Harnessing Fire: A Devotional Anthology in Honor of Hephaestus", which is about the only work by and for polytheists that I know of regarding Hephaistos. Scholarly sources are Karl Kerényi's "Gods of the Greeks", and Walter Burkert's "Greek Religion", I know of no scholarly work on Hephaistos specifically. And of course, one can't ignore theoi.com, a major resource for anything related to Hellenic Deities and Mythology. It has tonnes of information, including public domain translations of many texts, with quotes from texts integrated into the descriptions of the Gods.
That's is it for now, and good luck with your explorations of the worship of Hephaistos!

Hi Lovelies, I hope you're all well!
It's been a few weeks since I wrote my last book review, and while I've been busy writing about other things, preparing for starting my MA and doing little DIY projects on Lily, I've also taken the time to read some fabulously gripping books, strangely, all around the same theme of communism.
I'm already quite fascinated with Russian history, and while I did study some of the history of China at A-Level, I haven't found it quite as interesting as Mother Russia and its orphan child, North Korea.
When North Korea appears in the news, what do you think of?
A crazy, deluded young dictator (emphasis on the 'dic'), absurd military processions, badly photoshopped press photos, starving families and miles of scorched farm land.
In some respects you might not be far wrong, but in reality the Western world doesn't know an awful lot about the country historians call the last Stalinist state. Westerners have to rely on 'spying' (take the Panorama North Korea specials for example) and reading accounts from various incredibly brave defectors, keen to raise global awareness of the atrocities North Korean people face at the hands of the malevolent Kim Dynasty.
One such account is that of Yeonmi Park, currently taking the world by storm with her harrowing account of life under such a repressive regime.
I picked up this book on one of my occasional trips into Waterstones (I already have a long list of things to read, I didn't really need more) I was fascinated by the books blurb, in addition to the fact that Yeonmi is the same age as me; not only would the account be particularly eyeopening (in comparison to my own life) but the account would be pretty up to date, and a good view of what life in North Korea is like at the moment.
I got home and started reading straight away, two hours later I'd got half way through and another day or so later, I had finished reading. Yeonmi tells us of the ways she and her family flew in the face of North Korean and Chinese law through sheer desperation and fear of starvation 'In Order to Live'.
The novel opens at the beginning of Yeonmi's life. She describes Hyesan, her home, and recalls the times she spent playing by the Yalu River. I was shocked instantly by how close Hyesan was to the Chinese city of Chaingbai; Yeonmi tells us about how she could smell noodles and dumplings being cooked in kitchens on the other side, and how the Chinese children would taunt her by asking if she was hungry.
You'd think it would be easy for them to make their escape, across a river that seemed like a mere stones-throw away from freedom. Unfortunately, after years of scare-mongering and propaganda, it isn't quite so easy.
Yeonmi describes a community dependent on each other for food, yet crippled with paranoia and suspicion. Her mother would tell her and her older sister, Eunmi, 'Watch your mouth' on a daily basis before heading to school; 'Remember Yeonmi-ya, even when you think you're alone, the birds and mice can hear you whisper.' By teaching them this habit at an early age, Yeonmi's mother made sure her two girls knew to keep their thoughts to themselves.
That said, the Kims' propaganda had children (Yeonmi included) believe that their Great Leader Kim Jong Il was so omnipotent, he could even read their minds. Not even your thoughts are safe in North Korea.
Like Pakistan, India and other Middle-Eastern countries, North Koreans also live by a caste system or songbun. It is incredibly difficult to work your way up the caste system, but very easy to come down, one wrong move by you or a member of your family could change your fortune for generations. The Park family experienced this first hand.
Yeonmi's Grandfather had worked comfortably in the military during the Second World War and the Korean War, this meant her family could go on to serve in the military (a 'privilege' reserved for the middle/upper classes) and study finance. Her aunts and uncles were all doing well, studying and working, surviving comfortably, unfortunately everything changed when her Uncle Park Dong Il was accused of raping one of his students and attempting to murder his wife.
While the truth of these events remain unclear, the damage was done. Her Uncle was sentenced to twenty years hard labour (he escaped execution due to her Grandfather's connections), of which he served 12 before being sent home on sick leave. The rest of the family got by for a little while, despite their poor songbun, however, her grandfather and father lost their jobs suddenly, without being given a reason. It was at that point that the fight for survival really began for Yeonmi's family.
At this point, I'm struggling to decide exactly how 'in detail' I should be. While I don't want to give away too much for potential readers, it's difficult not to want to describe exactly how shocking/eyeopening Yeonmi's story really is. Instead, I'll talk about the things I've learned having read 'In Order to Live'.
Firstly, this book has thoroughly shaken up my perception of North Korea. It's very easy for a Westerner such as myself to look at a country like North Korea and laugh. Do the Kim's ACTUALLY think they could attack the US? Are North Koreans really that brainwashed? Why is the Kim Dynasty so successful?
My initial perception of North Korea was basically that of a medieval people, with scorched fields, the odd broken cart, tumbleweeds, extreme poverty and a deluded elite. It seems my idea wasn't totally wrong, although in some respects, I think it's far worse.
What surprised me the most is that North Korea does have an understanding of the western world, or at least, it adopts western technology, medicine, fashion and entertainment as its own. It invests ridiculous sums of money into building fabulous facilities, like water parks, an extravagant new airport and even a church (although no-one in North Korea practices a religion, they are too busy worshipping their 'Great Leaders' – it's purely for the benefit of the occasional Western tourist riding the highly-policed propaganda bus around North Korea).
Students study for degrees in medicine, science, computer technology and so on at Pyongyang University (there are other establishments, but Pyongyang Uni is the most prestigious). People walk around in the finest fake designer goods China has to offer, even Yeonmi's mother owned a 'Chanel' handbag while living in Hyesan!
Outside Pyongyang is very different, it isn't quite the scorched land I had first imagined (NK is actually quite lush and green with beautiful landscapes), but it is still rife with extreme poverty. People in the country are dependent on the black market, and markets generally, to earn money and survive.
To Western tourists, tour guides insist that the North Korean government provide its people with food, housing, healthcare, education and clothing, suggesting the wages North Koreans earn are all their own. Yeonmi's book tells us a very different story. As I type this I'm reminded of how she and her sister had to catch and roast bugs on a fire over the winter in order to survive, not quite the government provisions you would have imagined…
Healthcare is essentially reserved for the wealthy. If you can afford your treatment and the medicine, you'll probably be fine, if not, you'll either have to live (or die) without treatment, or somehow find a way of affording your medicine and bribe doctors to treat you. If the money runs out, so does the treatment, which means you're at risk of catching infection while attempting to recover in hospital.
I think what I'm trying to say is that I was shocked by the fact that North Korea isn't quite as closed off as I first imagined. It actually has an understanding of the Western world (though it isn't a particularly great one), it enjoys western technology, fashion and entertainment like any other country. That said, we can't forget that it's very much a distraction from the rest of the country, the poorer classes, the prison camps and the ongoing breaches of human rights the government inflicts on its people.
I could go into so much more detail, but I have to move on…
The second thing I have learned having read this book is the issue of human trafficking, from North Korea into China.
I know trafficking goes on everywhere around the world, and it's horrific to hear about it regardless of where the story has come from, but I feel that because of the secrecy surrounding North Korea anyway, it's perhaps even more significant that someone has felt brave enough to break from that underworld and speak out about what is still a harrowing, ongoing issue.
When Yeonmi escaped North Korea, all she could think about was having enough food to eat. Traffickers know this and take advantage of it, giving the girls/women all the food they've ever dreamt of, promising full bellies and safety providing they did as they were told. For Yeonmi this meant forcibly losing her virginity (at 13 years of age), something she somehow managed to hold on to. Other girls aren't so fortunate.
Women escape from North Korea hoping for a better life, to be free and to be able to send money across to their families. In reality they are often stuck in China, living in fear of being caught and sent back to North Korea (where they will be sent to a prison camp, or even executed), and also in fear of the traffickers and the new families they're being sold into.
When they leave North Korea they are forced into this underworld and they have absolutely no idea what is happening.
How could they?
Their lives were secluded, shielded from the outside world thanks to the propaganda they've swallowed from birth. They run from their old life of poverty, fear and paranoia and into a new life filled once again with fear, abuse and slavery. They knew nothing of what might happen to them, and while North Korea remains so closed off, many more women will take the life-threatening risk of crossing the border into their new abusive life.
At the moment, China doesn't accept North Korean refugees, they send them to their deaths instead. What I don't understand is why China insist on trying to keep Pyongyang happy. The country is dependent on the West to support their economy, North Korea chose to distance itself from Beijing and Moscow (when under Stalin's rule) a long time ago, surely China could quite happily cut all ties with North Korea and accept it's refugees?
Or at least attempt to put a stop to the corrupt, violent underworld that dominates the north east.
I suppose China would have to re-address it's own human-rights laws first.
Regardless of all this, Yeonmi still manages to expose yet another secretive world. I only hope, like her, that something changes soon.
The final thing I have learned is the sometimes quite shocking attitudes South Koreans have towards North Korean refugees.
It's hardly surprising to find that North Koreans struggle to take in their new surroundings, having escaped such a backwards country.
Yeonmi discusses how after having started attending University, some South Korean students tried telling her that her story was false, the North Korean government weren't as bad as she claimed and she was wrong to escape.
I, like Yeonmi, expected South Korea to be a lot more welcoming of refugees, surely they understood better than most the hardships and oppression their neighbours (and fellow Koreans) suffered. I think it's sad that after everything they have been through, they manage to settle in a free country but are still treated like second class citizens.
Having read this book, I can't help but feel ashamed of the UK and the wider world for not having done more to help these people. It baffles me that people continue to publish these books containing such harrowing stories and yet governments do nothing to try prevent it.
Of course the UN can hand out sanction after sanction but what good does that do help the two young girls eating bugs in the mountains to survive?
How does a sanction stop a young girl from being forced to watch her mother being raped in front of her?
I'm also embarrassed by the fact that even in the UK, we share a similar hostile attitude towards the refugees we take from other middle-eastern countries. Surely we should be helping these people escape to live a safe, free, happy life instead of greeting them with hostility, resentment and discrimination.
Reading this book has not only shocked me deeply, I feel an enormous amount of admiration for Yeonmi for sharing her story with the world, but it has also educated me a great deal about the North Korean regime, its people, and the ways we can put an end to it.
If there is only one book you read this year, I beg you, make it this one.
Till next time,
love, Leigh

Straight Smiles for You and Yours
Are you a teenager who needs braces but worries about what a mouthful of metal will look like in your yearbook pictures? Are you an adult who's always dreamed of a straighter smile? The solution to your problem is as clear as the nose—or the smile—on your face. It's Invisalign®.
Whether your teeth are a bit too close together, a little too far apart, or you have an overbite, underbite, or crossbite, Invisalign can help straighten things out. It can also help you avoid a host of problems that may come along with a crooked smile, including extra wear and tear on your teeth and enamel, a higher chance of periodontal disease, increased tooth decay, difficulty chewing, speech impediments, and jaw and joint trouble. The best part is, Invisalign is almost invisible. Unlike with traditional braces, most people won't realize you're straightening your teeth. Since Invisalign is so comfortable and convenient, you might even forget yourself. Invisalign won't have much impact on your day-to-day life. After removing the aligners, you can brush and floss just like you always have. You can even chew gum and continue to eat all of your favorite foods without worrying about brackets and wires.
ASK US ABOUT INVISALIGN TODAY and start enjoying your straighter smile in no time!

Named Cyber University of the year at the National Cyber Awards 2019 earlier this month, the University of South Wales is training the cyber security experts of the future from its Newport campus.
Home to the National Cyber Security Academy, students work with leading technology companies on real-life projects.
Cyber security - along with terrorism, international military crises, major accidents and natural disasters - is seen by the UK Government as one of the four major national security threats facing the country.
Both the government and industry understand the growing need for graduates with hands-on skills that can fight cyber threats, and that there is a need to work together to address this challenge.
Several of the region's cyber security businesses have now located their operations with the university campus as part of a hub known as the 'Cyber Village'.
Clare Johnson, head of cyber security, said: "The vision for the village is to enable cyber companies to set up their businesses in close proximity to the NCSA. Students are able to work very closely with the types of companies that they may eventually work for, interacting with these companies very early on in their studies."
Events are organised where the companies spend time with the students, doing workshops and practical activities that relate to their line of business.
Damon Rands, CEO of cyber security consultancy Wolfberry, one of the businesses based at the campus, said: "The industry in which we work moves very quickly, technology is continually evolving, and as a business we must keep up with this change.
"Being part of the Cyber Village in Newport really transforms the way that we as businesses can interact with the students.
"As a company we have always struggled integrating graduates, not because or knowledge but rather the softer skills required in their day-to-day to roles. USW has changed all of that. We work with students on real life projects where they as individuals can have an impact.
"At the end of their course they have the skills that the industry needs and are ready to hit the deck running."
James John is a graduate of the cyber security course and, thanks to the experiences he gained, is now employed by one of the companies in the Cyber Village.
James, who works for J French Consultants and IDB, which specialise in digital forensics and intelligence management, said: "As a business being part of the cyber community at USW is a great opportunity. Students get to interact with us, see how our business functions and how the theory they learn in the course is implemented in an actual business environment."

Retailing | A judge on Friday approved a proposal to pay Borders Group executives up to $6.6 million in bonuses as the bookseller reorganizes under federal bankruptcy protection. The company had originally requested $8.3 million -- that figure met with objections from the U.S. bankruptcy trustee -- in a bid to retain key corporate personnel. Since Borders filed for bankruptcy on Feb. 16, 47 executives and director-level employees have left, leaving only 15 people in senior management positions.
The approved plan comes with conditions, tying some bonuses to the company's ability to pay creditors and save $10 million over the next two years in leases on the remaining stores or in non-personnel cost reductions. [Businessweek, AnnArbor.com]
Publishing | Dark Horse CEO Mike Richardson talks more about the publisher's recent layoffs, saying that some reports of the cutbacks were overblown: "We have 150 employees. We let seven people go across three different divisions. What is that 4%, 5%? Our staff was just getting too large. The real reason for the layoffs is that we get worried about the cost of doing business. We're sitting there looking at the rising health insurance costs, the changes in the cost of doing business. We thought we were going to get some relief in the form of cover prices moving to $3.99, but I guess the market's made a really strong statement on that price. Meanwhile we're getting squeezed on paper and printing costs at the same time -- and creators certainly don't want to take any less money." [ICv2.com]
Creators | Clifford Meth reports that legendary artist Gene Colan is hospitalized again, awaiting surgery. "Despite his legendary optimism, Gene's situation is tenuous," he writes. "His family hopes he can undergo a procedure early this week that may alleviate his pain. Regardless, it's unlikely that my pal will be drawing for anyone anytime soon." To help generate "what might become much-needed funds," Meth is coordinating an auction of the last of Colan's artwork. Details are available at the link. [The Invincible Gene Colan Blog]

Especially now that I'm married and I have a kid, it just never occurs to me to spend my precious spare time trying to interact with complete strangers over the Internet. Besides, I'd have the most boring 'tweets' of all time: 'I just gave Nora lunch. I'm sitting at my drawing table. I just changed Nora's diaper. I'm sitting at my drawing table.'" [Park Slope Patch]

Starting in 1870, Guerin owned the Utzschneider Porcelaine Factory in Limoges France. Cache pots came in 6", 9" and 12" sizes. This is the 9" size with a double sided floral design and intricate gold gild detailing in a scrolled pattern around the top. Circa 1880's Limoges. Dimensions: 9" tall x 8" x 4" Condition: Excellent overall condition with some wear to gold.
Hi, this is Jennifer here with City Farmhouse Antiques. I'm here on a Friday morning in the storage room and I wanted to show you our Find of the Week. I absolutely love it and it's very old! It is an antique cache pot. At least that is what the word looks like how it would be pronounced, but in French it is actually pronounced "CASH poe". My French is horrendous as I was raised to learn Spanish and even my Spanish is debatable. This is the miniature version of a jardinière. A jardinière is a bigger pot that would typically stand on the floor during the late 1800's, early 1900's that would be used an overpot. That is actually what the word cachepot means. Cache pot is a French word and when broken down cache means to hide and in English translates into overpot. So you would have put orchids in here or some type of plant. The key is this pot has no holes, and being the miniature version of a jardinière you would put a piece like this on a table. Without holes water won't damage your table. This piece is probably about 12" tall. Cache pots were made of metal, porcelain, tin, ceramic etc. You can see this one is a double sided piece with a design on both sides. Look at all the detail on this piece. It is just exquisite. It is all hand painted, that is gold gild and the gold gild has been scrolled down at the bottom in a scalloped type design and you can see the coloring goes from a blush to a beautiful cream and then at the bottom there are these beautiful gold gild ball feet. It is just beautiful. That is what is so intriguing about that time period, people went to so much effort to make everything beautiful. For example this piece covered up the pot of a plant. These pots work great because with these large openings your plant has room for air circulation. There are no holes for drainage, but you can easily tip it in the sink and drain it so your plant isn't standing in any water. It is an absolutely beautiful piece. I love it and was dying to share it with you. That is this week's Find of the Week so be sure and check us out on the website at www.cityfarmhouseantiques.com where we have more than just antiques and be sure and give us a like on Facebook!

Laurent-Moïse Schwartz (French: [ʃvaʁts]; 5 March 1915 – 4 July 2002) was a French mathematician. He pioneered the theory of distributions, which gives a well-defined meaning to objects such as the Dirac delta function. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1950 for his work on the theory of distributions. For several years he taught at the École polytechnique.

Laurent Schwartz came from a Jewish family of Alsatian origin, with a strong scientific background: his father was a well-known surgeon, his uncle Robert Debré (who contributed to the creation of UNICEF) was a famous pediatrician, and his great-uncle-in-law, Jacques Hadamard, was a famous mathematician.
During his training at Lycée Louis-le-Grand to enter the École Normale Supérieure, he fell in love with Marie-Hélène Lévy, daughter of the probabilist Paul Lévy who was then teaching at the École polytechnique. Later they would have two children, Marc-André and Claudine. Marie-Hélène was gifted in mathematics as well, as she contributed to the geometry of singular analytic spaces and taught at the University of Lille.
Angelo Guerraggio describes "Mathematics, politics and butterflies" as his "three great loves".[1]
According to his teachers, Schwartz was an exceptional student. He was particularly gifted in Latin, Greek and mathematics. One of his teachers told his parents: "Beware, some will say your son has a gift for languages, but he is only interested in the scientific and mathematical aspect of languages: he should become a mathematician."
In 1934, he was admitted at the École Normale Supérieure, and in 1937 he obtained the agrégation (with rank 2).
World War IIEdit
As a man of Trotskyist affinities and Jewish descent, life was difficult for Schwartz during World War II. He had to hide and change his identity to avoid being deported after Nazi Germany overran France. He worked for the University of Strasbourg (which had been relocated in Clermont-Ferrand because of the war) under the name of Laurent-Marie Sélimartin, while Marie-Hélène used the name Lengé instead of Lévy. Unlike other mathematicians at Clermont-Ferrand such as Feldbau, the couple managed to escape the Nazis.
Later careerEdit
Schwartz taught mainly at École Polytechnique, from 1958 to 1980. At the end of the war, he spent one year in Grenoble (1944), then in 1945 joined the University of Nancy on the advice of Jean Delsarte and Jean Dieudonné, where he spent seven years. He was both an influential researcher and teacher, with students such as Bernard Malgrange, Jacques-Louis Lions, François Bruhat and Alexander Grothendieck. He joined the science faculty of the University of Paris in 1952. In 1958 he became a teacher at the École polytechnique after having at first refused this position. From 1961 to 1963 the École polytechnique suspended his right to teach, because of his having signed the Manifesto of the 121 about the Algerian war, a gesture not appreciated by Polytechnique's military administration. However, Schwartz had a lasting influence on mathematics at the École polytechnique, having reorganized both teaching and research there. In 1965 he established the Centre de mathématiques Laurent-Schwartz (CMLS) as its first director.
In 1973 he was elected corresponding member of the French Academy of Sciences, and was promoted to full membership in 1975.
Mathematical legacyEdit
In 1950 at the ICM, Schwartz was a plenary speaker[2] and was awarded the Fields medal for his work on distributions. He was the first French mathematician to receive the Fields medal. Because of his sympathy for Trotskyism, Schwartz encountered serious problems trying to enter the United States to receive the medal; however, he was ultimately successful.
The theory of distributions clarifies the (then) mysteries of the Dirac delta function and Heaviside step function. It helps to extend the theory of Fourier transform and is now of capital importance to the theory of partial differential equations.
Popular scienceEdit
Throughout his life, Laurent Schwartz actively worked to promote science and bring it closer to the general audience. Laurent said: "What are mathematics helpful for? Mathematics are helpful for physics. Physics helps us make fridges. Fridges are made to contain spiny lobsters, and spiny lobsters help mathematicians who eat them and have hence better abilities to do mathematics, which are helpful for physics, which helps us make fridges which..."[3]
His mother, who was passionate about natural science passed on her taste for entomology to Laurent. His personal collection of 20000 Lepidoptera specimens, collected during his various travels was bequeathed to the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle), the Science Museum of Lyon, the Museum of Toulouse and the Museo de Historia Natural Alcide d'Orbigny in Cochabamba (Bolivia). Several species discovered by Laurent Schwartz bear his name.
Personal ideologyEdit
Apart from his scientific work, Schwartz was a well-known outspoken intellectual. As a young socialist influenced by Leon Trotsky, Schwartz opposed the totalitarianism of the Soviet Union, particularly under Joseph Stalin. Schwartz ultimately rejected Trotskyism for democratic socialism.
On his religious views, Schwartz called himself an atheist.[4]

I've been looking for a good FREE mmo to play. I was really into Luna Online so I could play with my kids but they lost interest and so I stopped playing. I've played LOTR Online, Lineage II, Guild Wars, Rappelz, Cabal Online, FFXI and many others.
So do I enjoy online gaming? Yes. Yes I do. But now I want something that I can keep with for more than a month. I thought I found that when I discovered Gates of Andaron. At first it looked great. 3 races with 6 classes. The gold system is like World Of Warcraft and there are plenty of people online.
However, once I hit level 15 with my main character (Warrior) I discovered that there really is no depth to the game. There are a TON of quests and plenty grinding but that's all there really is. I made another character (Night Walker) just to see if I missed something. I've got that one to level 20 and still no real game play. It's all grinding for meager quests. And once you leave the main area for noobs (lvl 20 and under) everything is agro so you're almost forced to party. I don't mind to party but sometimes I want all the loot and XP.
If you've had a similar or different experience please leave a comment.

Last night we celebrated the flavors of summer and enjoyed the beautiful weather with a wonderful Mediterranean meal. On the menu: Tzatziki Sauce and hummus served with homemade toasted pita chips and a Mediterranean Couscous Salad.
I love to make these simple pita chips – they're a snap to make and they're better than any bagged variety you can buy at the store.
Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using store bought pocket pitas, cut each pita into 6 wedges. Separate the layers of the wedges (now you will have 12 chips) and place rough-side-up on a baking sheet. Continue until you have filled the pan. Spray or brush the chips with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in a 375 degree oven, on a rack set near the top, for 7 to 10 minutes – watching them carefully – until they are golden brown around the edges. Cool and serve.
Don't feel constrained by just salt and pepper. You could add garlic powder, cayenne or chili pepper for some kick, curry powder or any kind of seasoned salt.
The couscous salad is equally as easy and tasty. As with all of the recipes from Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country, they have been tested and retested until they have created the perfect recipe that yields the best results.

As a fellow shareholder and garlic lover (note to Angelic: please grow MORE of this amazing garlic for next year's boxes!), I am so happy to have found your site. I will definitely refer to it often to see what you are cooking up with the vegetables from your box. It will inspire me, inform me, and all around entertain me (I was really interested in the link to the One Local Summer blog).
What a great idea, and thank you for taking the time to share these wonderful recipes and thoughts with all of us!

Smart use of data can make tangible differences to people's lives in Scotland, says Jude McCorry
With global institutions like the United Nations, the World Economic Forum and the World Bank waking up to the potential for data to help change the world for the better, it's worth looking at how Scotland is benefiting from this data revolution.
Data is an enabler. While there is a lot of hype around how data insights are increasingly driving commercial gains, it is worth giving more appreciation to how data and statistics are progressing and informing evidence-based policy decisions.
The explosion of accessible data means there is now human behavioral data available to analyse and so much scope to make better decisions. It's about using data for good.
In Scotland there are numerous examples of this in practice. The prevalence of such exciting projects on our door step is largely down to the presence of 'data warriors' – the people with the skills and passion to identify the potential benefits and see such projects through.
Scotland-based Brainnwave recently partnered with UNICEF to provide access to geospatial data and analytics to help track refugees in Somalia and allocate resources and refuge for displaced populations. (The relationship was established following Brainnwave's participation in a Scottish Development International and Data Lab funded trade trip to New York).
Closer to home a collaborative project aimed at addressing the challenges of so-called 'bed-blocking' in Scotland has not only seen impressive results but won an industry award. With around 1,200 patients delayed from leaving hospital each month, the Scottish Government and NHS/NSS worked in partnership with The Data Lab to use data analysis to come up with a way to assess the future risk of delayed discharge when a patient is first admitted to hospital.
In using real patient data from health and social care, this challenging project has the potential to make a real difference to how Scotland's healthcare system identifies and manages the risk of a patient's discharge from hospital becoming delayed. Everyone worked hard to resolve data access issues, to quality assure data and to produce a successful algorithm for the proof of concept. The project is now well placed to move to the next phase.
Another project which has the potential to positively affect people's lives relates to predicting falls in social housing. With falls costing NHS Scotland £471 million a year, there is also potential for substantial economic benefit to health and social care services.
The idea is to capture data using a range of sensors installed in specially-designed, technology-enabled 'Fit Homes'. Targeting specific activities identified as pre-cursors to falls, the system will analyse data derived from these sensors to identify patterns of activity, and changes in these patterns, that are linked to increased risk of falling. It is hoped that evidence-based alerts will enable families and agencies to intervene with preventative measures before incidents occur.
It will exploit synergies between the artificial intelligence and data science expertise at Robert Gordon University and technology-enabled 'Fit Homes' being developed by Albyn Housing Society in partnership with Carbon Dynamic (a manufacturer of sustainable, modular homes) and NHS Highland. The system could empower individuals, care providers, social landlords and a range of health professionals to reduce the health impact of falls and target intervention resources more efficiently.
The importance of research in health and disease developments is clear. But it is worth noting that the data revolution can complement existing focus.
For instance Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) remains the main cause of death in Scotland. It is one of the most researched, evidence-based areas of medicine in terms of treatment options. That said, the extent of the adoption of evidence-based treatments and their influence on health outcomes in hospital and post-discharge, and how this contributes to the variation in outcome between hospitals across Scotland, is unknown.
This gap in knowledge for healthcare providers, patients and society as a whole, can be filled with a cardiovascular 'e-registry', essentially an electronic file of documents containing uniform information about individual persons, collected in a systematic and comprehensive way.
NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, AstraZeneca and the University of Glasgow is seeking to build a contemporary and continuous database collating data automatically from the appropriate sources and a flexible suite of on-demand reporting functions running against this – essentially an e-registry.
Cancer Research UK has suggested that half of the UK's population will get cancer in their lifetime. That's what makes the work of the Cancer Innovation Challenge so important. Funded by The Scottish Funding Council and launched in March 2017, it seeks to help Scotland become a world leading carer for people with cancer through open innovation using data science. It brings together three Innovation Centres - Digital Health and Care Institute (DHI), Stratified Medicine Scotland (SMS) and The Data Lab. It will fund projects focused on identifying innovative cancer data science solutions and also projects to develop new tools and approaches for patient reported outcomes and experiences.
There are so many ways data can be used. There is real potential to make tangible differences to the lives and wellbeing of Scotland's people. Decisions about future policy can truly be evidence-based like never before. It is therefore essential we understand that potential, champion key projects and continue to invest in data skills and talent.
