I work as a clerical assistant in a pediatric dental office, and I am commonly surprised by the number of children who are scared of the dentist. Many kids think that cleanings will be painful, and they believe they will be scolded for eating sugary foods. Children are also extremely frightful of the noises made by the water spraying tools and the suction devices. As adults, we know that dental cleanings are easy and free of pain. We need to impart this knowledge to our children so they know not to fear the dentist. I have provided blogs that will help you speak with your child about dental care. Good communication, trips to your own dentist, and online videos can assist you. So will good brushing techniques that will make your child proud to see the dentist. Enjoy my articles so you can help your child build oral care confidence.

Dental crowns can be fashioned from many different materials, such as porcelain, stainless steel, metal alloy, resin or porcelain-over-metal. Your dentist may suggest a specific type of crown depending on the location, aesthetics and cost of the crown material. For instance, a porcelain crown may be elected for a front tooth or a premolar. However, to minimize your costs, your dentist may suggest a stainless steel crown for a molar that is rarely seen as you speak or smile. In addition, a resin crown may not be prescribed for a back tooth because the grinding action of the tooth could eventually wear away the resin in the same manner that dental sealants sometimes degrade over time. Still, regardless of the material of a dental cap, crowns can have multiple uses. Here are a few:
Dental Implants
Dental implants are prosthetic teeth that are used to replace a missing tooth. During the installation of an implant, a metal screw, which is normally made of titanium, is inserted into the jawbone. The jawbone is allowed a few months to heal so that the screw has time to fuse with bone through a process called osseointegration. After the screw has been secured by the bone, an abutment can be placed over the screw so that it can be connected to a dental crown. The crown restores the functionality and appearance of the missing tooth.
Bridges also replace missing teeth. A typical bridge is made from two crowns and a false tooth that lies in the center of the bridge. One crown borders the false tooth on each side. To stabilize the dental bridge, the crowns are fitted over existing natural teeth or dental implants that border the space left by the missing tooth.
Crowns are also used for less common types of bridges such as cantilever bridges, which only include a single crown on one side of the false tooth. This type of bridge is less common because undue pressure can be placed on the single supporting tooth.
Covering a Chip or Crack
Some chips or cracks are minor, but they may still affect the appearance of your smile. After sealing a crack or chip, your dentist may place a dental crown over the tooth to improve the look of the tooth and to reinforce the tooth's structural integrity.
Covering a Tooth after a Root Canal
If a tooth requires a root canal, the entire interior of the tooth is excised before filling material is applied. Once the pulp of the tooth has been removed and the interior of the tooth has been sterilized and filled, a dental crown is used to cover the tooth. The crown protects the tooth and restores full functionality.
Dental crowns can be used for multiple reasons. If you are having a restorative procedure in the near future, consult with a company like South Shore Prosthodontics about your crown options.

I feel SO busy at the moment. Somehow I'm packing in a 40 hour working week, 4 trips to the gym, trying to buy a car, and about umpteen friends' birthdays and social plans. That's just summer though really isn't it? I feel like having the opportunity to cook something nice is really rare for me at the moment – there's been lots of scrambled egg on toast for dinner (eeeek!). Anyway, I'm on holiday countdown as it's won't be long before we're off to Menorca for a week of eating, beaching and reading. I cannot wait!
A brief gym update since my last post because I'm SO proud of the progress I'm making. This week I've managed sumo squat deadlifts all by myself (no PT spotting) at 30kg which is the biggest weight I've ever lifted so far. There's people that can lift more (obviously) but to me this is a huge achievement, especially considering I could barely lift a 20kg bar this time last year. October will be my gym-iversary and if I'm feeling brave enough I might do some of those cringey before and after pictures. It's never really been about the result for me though, more the feeling. Lifting that weight makes me feel like I can take on anything.
Now I'll stop rambling on, on to the recipe. This yummy stir fry is so packed full of protein and vegetables and makes for great weekday lunches, especially as the longer you leave it, the more flavour the tofu takes on from the surrounding sauce. I love that about tofu! The wet sauce for this which is unusual for me with noodles, I usually like a drier noodle or just dressed sesame oil but the tofu really needs the moisture for this to work. If you're a busy monster like me you can meal prep this bad boy by chopping up all the veg beforehand and keeping it in the fridge, and just lob it into the pan when you come home. You could even pre-chop the tofu and marinate it in a little soy sauce if you were feeling really extra.
High Protein Tofu Noodle Stir fry
Makes about 4 servings
- 280g block plain tofu (I like the 'Tofoo' stuff)
- 1 medium pepper
- 5-6 spring onions
- 1 medium white onion
- 1 large egg
- 100g mushrooms
- 1-2 nests of fine egg noodles
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp cornflour
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp Chinese five spice
- Sesame, chilli and vegetable oils
Finely slice the mushrooms, peppers, onions and spring onions and mince the garlic. Chop the tofu into small cubes and begin to fry in a frying pan with 2 tsp vegetable oil, and a couple of shakes of the chilli oil. In a separate pan or wok, make a quick, thin omelette with the egg and set to one side. Stir fry the veg with the garlic (I like to blanch the spring onions with the noodles so leave those out til later) just for a coupe of minutes until it starts to soften. Shred up that omelette you made earlier and add to the pan, and when the tofu is ready, add that in too. Boil the noodles in a saucepan according to packet instructions and drain into a sieve – place the spring onions in the sieve and pour the hot water over them. This makes them nice and soft without compromising the flavour.
Next, in a cup, mix together the cornflour, soy sauce, five spice and fish sauce with maybe 25ml water or so – you want it to fill about half way up a standard mug. Pour this into the pan with the veg and the tofu and add the noodles too. Stir until it's thickened – add a bit more water if it goes too thick and then serve with a drizzle more chilli oil if you like a bit of spice!

First of all this article is all about my experiment I am doing from last 4 months. I have another idea with that website but changed my mind after not getting time for the first idea. Let me start the article by letting you know that my website is for Freebie Graphics Downloading and the website is www.Lazybuddy.com.
You might know about freebie download website, which is where the author provides freebie graphics download to the users. The idea which I am talking earlier was that I will provide free graphics as well as I will provide paid graphics. But due to time constraint I am unable to work with that idea. I started the website and provide stunning graphics to download, it was continued till two months and then I decided to monetize that website with the new idea which was came in my mind.
The idea is I will build my Email newsletter with large numbers of subscribers and then will start affiliate marketing. Sounds cool and easy and yes Its very easy to build email newsletter. I am getting almost 50 new subscribers daily. YES you heard it right its 50 NEW subscribers daily.
#1. Now what I did to get 50 subscribers daily?
I already knew that people get bored while subscribing to any newsletter unless you provide something good. And I know that I am providing something good to them. I don't want them to subscribe the newsletter according to them so I got an Idea to force them to subscribe the newsletter.
I got an amazing plugin where people need to subscribe your newsletter to download the freebie and it is Subscribe to Download which is available on codecanyon for $15.
I installed it on Lazybuddy now whenever any visitor wants to download the freebie, he/she needs to subscribe the newsletter.
#2. The Newsletter I am using.
First I thought to use Mailchimp but I didn't found any solution to integrate with the subscribe to download plugin. Then I found another awesome Newsletter plugin (FREE) which is used directly from the WordPress Admin Dashboard and the plugin is WordPress Newsletter Plugin and its easily integrated with Subscribe to download plugin.
#3. How I am getting 50+ Subscribers daily
As the site already getting 300+ visitors daily, Its very easy to get 50+ subscribers daily. HOW?
Visit your Google analytics Dashboard and find the content which is getting maximum numbers of hits daily. And then add the subscribe to download option there (I did it later because I started using this plugin later). Do this on all the contents which is getting high numbers of visitors. So you are now ready to get 50+ subscribers daily (Depends upon your traffic)
#4. Now how I monetize the site using the Subscribers?
Before monetizing I did a test which is to provide Request a Free PSD to the user who wants graphics according to their needs. And then I got almost 100 Request from the visitors that what actually then want. Now I got the idea what actually my visitors needs like. Mostly people requested for Business Cards, Logos, and other stationary designs.
Its time to monetize the subscribers, I head up to Mightydeals and signed up the affiliate program. Now I started sharing the deals from Mightydeals to the subscribers and for the first month I made $46.
No, its not enough for me, then I tried to use another Design affiliate networks and started promoting those Graphics which my subscribers need. Another months I made $120.
Again not enough for me because I am working very hard for the designs which I provide on the site. I started contacting website owners who provides paid graphics. They needs customers for graphics and I am having them. I told them to use my newsletter service once so that they can get the idea if that really works for them. I got positive reply from them and then they send me some of their Paid Graphics link. I started promoting those Paid Graphics and believe me they got huge sales using my service.
Then I told them to start using my service to get continuous leads. I started charging $20 per Email Newsletter I sent for them. And as a result I got some good request from many of Graphics provider.
These is the way I started making $300 a month from my freebie site. Now I rarely work on that site because I moved to another experiment and still experimenting and I will post an another article for that experiment. Keep with me . Thanks for reading. If you need any help please feel free to comment below.

So far you've assembled your Green Team, identified your areas of focus and set your goals. Now it's time to plan your work, and work your plan. It sounds cliché, but creating a thoughtful and thorough action plan is crucial to the success of your program. In this step you'll document a solid action plan for the program. Planning achieves several things:
- defines the detailed steps it will take to reach each of your goals
- helps your Green Team think through the details, identify needed resources, and anticipate risks
- provides continuous guidance to the Green Team moving forward
- helps ensure that goals are met, budget is managed, and resources are used appropriately
- allows you to assess progress along the way
- reduces uncertainties
Your action plan should include several main components: tasks, responsibilities, milestones, deliverables, and resources. It should also encompass all of the types of tasks your Green Team will need to implement such as installing measures or technologies, tracking metrics, communicating progress, engaging employees, managing risks, and overall program administration.
Developing an Action Plan: Task by Task
- Create a detailed work plan based on your scope statement and goal worksheets.
- Create your budget.
- Identify other necessary resources.
Tools and Considerations

Attracting and retaining good web staff is crucial for a successful digital strategy. What then do web professionals look for in a potential employer?
In my post entitled The Recruitment Crisis, I shared my belief that the competition to hire experienced digital staff is going to become increasingly fierce as digital becomes an ever more crucial component of business success. I went on to outline ways that organisations can attract and retain good digital staff.
In next week's podcast I want to explore this subject further and really get to the heart of what web professionals look for from their employer.
With that in mind, if you work in the web, I want to open up the comments and ask you to share your thoughts on the following questions…
- Why do you stay with your current employer?
- What factors do you consider when applying for a job?
- How important is salary to you in your selection?
- What areas do you think employers are particularly weak in when it comes to supporting digital staff?
- Does location matter anymore when it comes to who you work for? Are you happy to work remotely?
- How important is working environment to you?
- What management style suits you most?
- How highly do you rate training as a job requirement?
- What perks have you heard of that you would you like to have in your job?
Feel free to answer as many or as few of the above questions as you like.

As a part of NXNE Art 2014, artists from the Northeast shifted the narrative of Toronto's streets, creating destinations of beauty. Take a peek at some of the images below and see how Toronto has been transformed…and then go check out the rest on foot! Pictures, as good as they are, just don't do the art justice. Here's tour #1.
NXNE Art gave Toronto the power to participate – not just spectate. Thank you to the city of Toronto for participating, for believing in Hermann & Audrey and supporting us in our first year with NXNE Art. Thank you to the hard working artists who made this whole experience so special. And a huge thank you to the Hermann & Audrey team. They are the most talented and dedicated crew of people that I have ever had the privilege to work with and call my friends. Without further ado, let me introduce you to the team.

Producing NXNE Art 2014 was everything we imagined it could be. We created the stage for talented artists from across the North East: Toronto, Montreal, New York, Detroit, to help us transform our perspective on public space with their individual visions for shared spaces and art in public. Not only did the Urban Takeovers of NXNE change the physical surroundings of laneways, alleyways, derelict spaces it shaped an alternative options for urban experience. From well trafficked Yonge-Dundas Square to found spaces on unassuming walls, local and international artists created experiences throughout the city in color, community and interactivity. Through building highly visible, disruptive installations, the pedestrian experience was in places transformed, revitalizing lost space, bringing life to alleyways, and finally, bringing forward public engagement rooted in art. What's more fun than that? Continue reading article →
A first in the history of NXNE, Hermann & Audrey produced and curated the art portion of the festival.

Yonge Street is a weekly online magazine named after the Toronto region's main street and the spine that ties us altogether with a mission to see the future in what is working well in the Toronto region today.

Travelling can often bring on sickness, especially if you're on long haul flights often, so today I'd like to share my tips on how to prevent that from happening! A couple of these tips were given to me by my best friend and when I was travelling last December I tried them out and successfully avoided any illness on my trip.
Sickness while travelling can arise from a multitude of factors some of them being fatigue, large groups of people in close quarters, exposure to foreign diseases, and stress. Therefore it's important to cover your bases before and during your trip to ensure those bugs don't get to you!
- Do your research before you go. Depending on where you're travelling to, there may be viruses and diseases that you need to prepare for. Sometimes this involves getting shots beforehand and other times it just means avoiding specific types of foods and water.
- Stock up on Vitamin C packets. Every single morning while travelling I take an Emergen-C packet or tablet in a glass of water and not only does it boost your energy but it also helps support the immune system.
- Take Cold-FX daily. Taking Cold-FX pills helps prevent flu and cold symptoms and reduces their frequency, duration and severity. I honestly think that taking these was a huge factor in why I didn't get sick during my three week trip.
- Drink from disposable water bottles, not tap. Wherever you go if you know it's not 100% safe to drink from the tap then don't. Even in restaurants you should ask for a bottle of water rather than a glass because you never know where it might be coming from.
- Pair up your sleeping schedule as soon as you can. If you know you're going to by flying during the nighttime hours of your destination then sleep as much as you can to catchup to that places time zone.
- Carry a hand sanitizer at all times. Keep those airplane and airport germs away!
Do you have any other sickness prevention tips for travelling? Share them in the comments please!

I thought of this earlier when the world was looking a little brighter – metaphorically – than it is now. I asked S for a reason. She said thunderstorms. I was like, oh yeah, I was thinking about writing about rain earlier. Except that, whilst earlier rain seemed like a reason to live, now, it doesn't. It can still do though.
Seventeen. Rain. I love walking through rain. I hate getting wet. Other than that I love the feel. The being at one with the world.
Seventeen. Rain.
So long,

Open source tools for protection against DDoS (IPS), such as, Snort, are based on DPI, that is, they analyze the entire protocol stack. However, they cannot control the opening and closing of TCP connections, since they are too high in the network stack of Linux and represent neither server nor client side. This allows to bypass IPS data. Proxy servers are also involved in establishing the connection, but they cannot protect against major DDoS attacks, because they are relatively slow, as they work based on the same principle as the server. For them, it is desirable to use the equipment which, despite being not as good as the one for the back end, can withstand heavy loads.

Using synctool for server configuration management
*nix systems are by default provided with remote management tools, while the method of storing and format of configuration files allows you to rapidly distribute the updated version of settings by simply copying them to the node. This scheme will be good enough for up to a certain number of systems. However, when there are several dozens of servers, they cannot be handled without a special tool. This is when it becomes interesting to have a look at configuration management systems that allow a programmable rather than manual configuration of servers. As a result, the systems can be configured quickly and with fewer errors while the administrator will get the comprehensive report. Also, a CM system knows how to keep track of all changes in the server while supporting the desired configuration.
Review of ROSA Fresh Desktop 4
ROSA Linux has no less than seven variants:
- ROSA Enterprise Desktop X 1 is recommended for use in a corporate environment and is designed to equip the workstations and servers without special requirements for information security;
- ROSA Enterprise Linux Server is, in fact, yet another clone of RHEL with some additions from the corporate variant of Mandriva;
- ROSA Desktop Fresh is the most recent distribution that contains the latest improvements from the developer;
- ROSA CHROME is a distribution certified by the Russian Federal Service for Technical and Export Control (FSTEC of Russia) and is designed for work with the state secrets;
- ROSA NICKEL has the similar purpose as the previous variant, but it is certified by the Russian Defense Ministry;
- ROSA COBALT is certified by FSTEC of Russia, including for the work with personal data.
Unfortunately, the last three distributions are not publicly available, and there is no point to talk about ROSA Enterprise Desktop and Server, so this article will focus on the recently released ROSA Desktop Fresh R5.
Usage of Amazon Auto Scaling to reduce costs of the project's hosting service
It often happens that the costs of the project's hosting service are higher than its other living expenses. It specifically refers to those projects using Amazon AWS extensively. But far from everyone knows that Amazon delivers various means to allow its users to pay less for the use of AWS services.
High Load Theory
In our work, we are faced with very different projects. In one way or the other, many of them could be called "high-load projects". If you spend some of your spare time on categorizing these projects and discard such ordinary things as second-rate online stores while roughly grouping what is left, you can come up with an approximate classification. It includes four types of high load:
- By the number of requests (banner networks);
- By traffic (video services);
- By logic (complex back-end calculations);
- Mixed (everything that fell into several categories).
Now, let's have a closer look at them.
Getting acquainted with Liferay

Table manner is an important component of Chinese culture, which could be summarized in the following aspects, from inviting guests, seating, eating, using chopsticks and teapot.
When the guest enters the room, the hosts stand until the guest sit down. Dishes are usually ordered by host and guest should keep silent. Before dinning, a toast started from the host is usually held, where guests could express their thanks for the invitation. When the dishes arrive, the host would invite guests of honor to taste first.
In China, a round table is commonly used. On this occasion, the seat facing the entrance is the seat of honor, which should be seated by the people with the highest status. The seats on the left-hand-side of the seat-of-honor are second, fourth, sixth, etc. in importance, while those on the right are third, fifth, seventh and so on in importance until they join together.
Food is mostly served by chopsticks and hand is seldom used unless some exceptions. While eating and drinking soup, no noise should be made. While dinning, the host should take care of all his guests and invites guests to enjoy the dishes. While someone is picking up food from dishes with chopsticks, the lazy Susan should never be turned.
Chopstick is mostly used in Chinese dinning, while there are some protocols of using chopsticks. Chopsticks are not used to toy with one's food or with dishes in common and they should be placed neatly after used. It is impolite to point someone with chopsticks. Never search food in the common dishes with chopsticks. You should never bang your chopsticks as though you were playing the drum.
Since Chinese tea culture has time-honored history, while using teapot also has its own etiquette. The teapot should never be placed pointing someone directly, which is quite impolite. If you are getting tea for yourself, make sure to ask others whether they need tea or not first. If they do, get tea for others first before serving yourself.

The delicately-shaped moon cake is a must-have for the Mid-autumn Day, which is made of flour filled with various kinds of fillings like nuts, eggs, beans, and fruits.

People still single will do the same thing to ask for good luck of love in the Matchmaker's temple. On this romantic night, girls usually set tables with fruits displayed to pray for intelligence and sweet love.
Tomb-sweeping Day, also known as pure brightness day, is one of the most important traditional festivals in China, which usually falls onto 4th, 5th or 6th of April. On the tomb-sweeping day, people will visit their ancestors' graves and mourn for the dead, burning incense, offering food and paper coins. They will also clean the grave area, such as getting rid of weeds growing around the tomb and removing dust on the tomb-grave. After that, some flowers would also be presented. People usually refresh earth, sacrifice and show flow to their ancestor's on this special day.
During the days around Qingming, everything is recovered and refreshed, so many outdoor activities like traveling around, flying kites and planting trees are favored by many people.

Language Proficiency Testing
Language Proficiency Testing
Programs that administer tests which assess the ability of examinees to speak, understand, read and/or write English or any of a wide variety of other languages. The examinations may measure different levels of competency and may test oral language capabilities (how well individuals understand and express themselves in a language including their vocabulary and grammar), reading comprehension and/or written language competency (how well individuals write in a particular language and/or are able to translate to and from that language). In some instances, the cultural competency of examinees is also measured. Language proficiency examinations may be given to the current or potential employees of organizations in situations where mastery of a particular language is a work requirement, to students who need a minimum level of proficiency to succeed in their classes, to students who have studied a foreign language (e.g., in high school) to assure appropriate college/university-level course placement, to individuals who want to teach in a particular language and to people who need to demonstrate proficiency for other reasons.

Advent Reflections on Time, Consumerism, and Liturgy
The global spread of a consumer culture is changing human perceptions of time. Traditional rituals which marked the passage of the years and linked time's passing to production and reproduction in communities of place are declining. Instead human life is increasingly drawn into a cult of instantaneity and speed that is implicated in the increasingly ecologically destructive tendencies of a high energy, high mobility culture. Climate change and biodiversity loss are two of the ways in which a high consumption civilisation is increasingly transforming the life support systems of the planet in ways that threaten its enduring support for life. The time scale in which industrial greenhouse gas emissions provokes climate change is not however instantaneous, but instead multi-decadal. This temporal lag, while it maps poorly onto contemporary experience of time and related economic measures of human welfare, maps rather better onto the longer term life-time accounting that was common in the Christian era until the consumer age.
The phrase Ancestral Time recalls the role of the liturgical year of Christian and Jewish tradition in marking time meaningfully through each year. It also recalls the human species-specific habit of reverence for the remains of the dead. Memorials to the dead are among the oldest built structures in most cultures, including in Scotland, and often play an orienting role in the siting of places of dwelling and worship. For those who lived before the advent of the consumer society, reverence for the dead was connected with a sense of responsibility to the ancestors to live well, and to leave the earth in as good or better a condition than they left it. Reverence for ancestors therefore indicates that life is a gift and that diminishing the beauty, diversity or stability of life is to dishonour those from whom we received it. Ancestral Time therefore represents a significant cultural challenge to the dominant accounting procedures of a consumer society.

Habitat for Paws (HFP) is a nonprofit agency consisting of volunteers who desire to improve the living conditions of dogs living on chains or tethers (chained). Numerous risks to the community develop after a dog is chained or tethered more than 12 hours a day. Chained dogs often become aggressive toward people and other animals. Dogs living on the end of a chain or tethered are at risk for attacks by other animals.
There are various reasons for chaining a dog. The most prevalent reason is lack of funds available to purchase fencing. Without the proper daily exercise, a puppy growing into dog becomes energetic and difficult to control in the house. Often the answer families turn to is chaining the dog to keep it on their property, but out of the house.
HFP provides free services to families which may consist of transportation for medical care and spay/neuter surgeries, dog houses and fences.

Dogs Deserve Better Nashville is the local branch of the National, award winning non-profit Dogs Deserve Better.
Our 100% Volunteer Team, aka #TeamDDBNashville, works diligently in under-serviced neighborhoods to provide nonjudgmental assistance to families with dogs who are continuously chained/penned. One in six Americans lives in poverty in the US. Six out of ten households have pets. This means way too many pets are living in poverty as well. Most of these families are giving their dog everything they have to offer, which is not always enough.

I just saved a ton of time by switching to Pikchur.
Just a couple of nights ago I was taking a picture with my blackberry, I usually post these pictures to twitpic. Twitpic is a picture service that post to your twitter account from your cell phone, since there had not really been any other services that let me post once to multiple sites. I started thinking wouldn't it be nice to be able to post to a picture service that can post to not only my twitter account by all my other micro blogging sites? Well I found such a service it's called Pikchur and this service lets me post to all of my sites with one email.
Pikchur is a simple service that updates your social networks / micro-blogging platforms with pictures!
Supported platforms are:
Now that you know how many services Pikchur can post to now I'll walk you through some of the process of setting it up.
Send your piks via phone, mms, email or upload
- You have to first login to one of your micro blogging sites on the Pikchur website I choose my twitter account.
- Next you have to configure your posting email address.
- The system tells you to create a PIN which will go at the end of the email address just before the @ symbol (this PIN is very important so do not make it simple) ( In my opinion the PIN needs to be more than 4 numbers, but that is all Pikchur will allow in the PIN section at this time)
After this process you have some settings you can configure
- Additional settings such as Triggers, and Status messages
All and all I tried the system out and it worked perfect from upload but when I tried to email from my blackberry it never showed up, I'll have to fix that soon or try and figure out the reason why it didn't work.
Overall Pikchur has a great idea with a lot of potential.

On 3 June 2013, the European Payments Council ( ) together with the Cards Stakeholders Group (CSG) published version 6.5 of the Single Euro Payments Area ( ) Cards Standardisation Volume for a six-week public consultation. This document defines a standard set of requirements to ensure an interoperable and scalable card and terminal infrastructure across , based on open international card standards. For detailed information on the consultation with regard to version 6.5 of the Cards Standardisation Volume, refer to the 'related links' below.
In addition, on 8 July 2013 the together with the CSG issued a document on security requirements for remote payments for a separate public consultation. All interested parties are invited to provide feedback by 4 August 2013.
The document setting out security requirements for remote payments responds to the increasing use of remote card payments. These requirements mark both the move towards alignment with global standards and the expansion of the security requirements definition beyond that of the point of interaction to include security requirements for other components involved in the remote card payment. They also take into account the 'Recommendations for the security of internet payments' released by the European Central Bank on 31 January 2013. The proposed requirements are designed to identify and protect against security threats and, consequently, help to establish an environment which allows both consumers and merchants to fully reap the benefits of exchanging goods and services online.
- The Cards Standardisation Volume version 6.5 consists of a series of separate books. The proposed security requirements for remote payments submitted for public consultation are detailed in the annex to Book 4 'Security' of the Cards Standardisation Volume (see first 'related file' below).
- Respondents to the consultation are invited to provide feedback using the response template available for download on this page (see second 'related file' below). Please email the completed response template to the CSG Secretariat: firstname.lastname@example.com by 4 August 2013 .
A summary of the responses received with this public consultation will be included with version 7.0 of the Cards Standardisation Volume to be published in early 2014 ready for market implementation. Respondents to the public consultation on remote security requirements who do not wish to be cited in the summary report have the option to indicate this in the response form.
With version 7.0 of the Cards Standardisation Volume, the annex to Book 4 setting out the proposed security requirements for remote payments will be included in Book 4 'Security', i.e. this annex will not be maintained as a separate document going forward.

Best interior 3D rendering: How should they look like?
There is a saying in sales: the shortest path to a sale lies through the customer's hands. Sensing every curve, flipping every switch and moving whatever there is to move creates a strong desire to own. This is why salesmen will always insist that you take that gadget in your hands.
But what if you are a real estate agency or an architectural firm trying to sell a yet-unfinished and hence impalpable property? One solution is to forget the above law. The other one is to resort to high-end interior 3D rendering, making the sight alone work for the other four senses. Is it possible? Let's see.
Here are five works by true masters of 3D visualization. Your first reaction will be "wow, these are beautiful shots"! But in reality these interiors are designed on a computer. You can spend hours eyeing them, so vivid and photo realistic they are in each detail and nuance.
This is a special, very emotional work:
- Look at the water running from the tap. It is so well crafted that you can almost hear the sound of it slapping against the sink!
- Another fine detail is the bottle surface. Note the reflections, which are not perfect, as a less diligent designer would make them, but accurately conveying a realistic, uneven glass texture.
- The cloth under the bottles and the soap (another well-crafted item!) shows every fold! It is also slightly translucent, like a leaf looked through at a sunny day. Such subtleties are seldom taken care of, but they count for a great deal of realism.
- The scene has a realistic depth of field and chromatic aberrations.
As a result, no homemaker would resist the urge to spend a couple of hours cooking here. More works of this author you can find here.
Any 3D interior has a purpose
Any 3D interior has a purpose: to make the customer want to live (work, play — delete as applicable) inside it. Here she will be able to see all she needs to make the right decision:
- The incredibly detailed brick wall, with a hand-crafted, non-repetitive texture, slight cracks and stains — just as a real one would be.
- The bedspread with unbelievably authentic folds and elaborate materials. You can almost feel the coolness of the silk as you stroke it in your mind's eye.
- The wooden wall with painstakingly nuanced texture and materials, making the rendering indistinguishable from a professional photograph.
Flawlessly rendered details create an atmosphere of coziness and spiritual freedom, so valued by the creative type. No artist would withstand the desire to own this small studio. More works of this author you can find here.
This interior 3d rendering has a whole range of features
This 3D rendering has a whole range of features making it the best in our today's review:
- The material of the sofa is crafted so thoroughly that you can spend hours watching its elegant roughness, imagining its cushy upholstery embracing your body and the exquisite scent of its leather entering your nostrils.
- The atmosphere is just right: the lighting is soft, avoiding glares on bright surfaces.
- There are chromatic aberrations — those almost imperceptible "fringes" of color along high-contrast boundaries that come naturally in a photograph. Fancy what a real pro can make with bare hands!
If you only see the final result, you might think: "Okay, that's good interior photography, but that's it." This is precisely the point. A truly high-end interior 3d rendering work will make you forget that it is actually a 3D visualization, so elaborate and realistic it is!
This rendering conveys the atmosphere and subtleties of the interior and serves as a great promotion for a company that was wise enough to hire a truly professional 3D designer. More works of this author you can find here.
A cozy interior 3d rendering
This cozy 3D interior also meets all the mentioned criteria:
- If you take a closer look at the chair, you will see dents, scratches and scuffs, as if it's several years old. With such a degree of elaborateness, it's almost impossible to argue that it is a visualization and not real photography.
- The carpet has an authentic texture with no repetitive patterns and correctly conveys natural lighting and shadows.
- Even the concrete wall, though hard to be seen, is a bit dusty and stained: the designer took care of subtleties that you would perceive on the unconscious level only.
- The visualized space has a realistic depth of field.
More works of this author you can find here.
This is one more interior 3d rendering with brilliantly expressed atmosphere
- The shabby window frame is scratched and its painting a bit cracked and uneven.
- There is an authentic reflection in the window glass. A while ago it would definitely mean that it's a photograph we're looking at.
- The chair leather is scratched and scuffed, revealing its venerable age.
- Leaves on the twigs are so elaborate that you could literally feel their autumnal dryness.
- The floor is anything but simple, one more proof that the designer paid a great deal of attention to the assignment.
- The brightest spots are a bit overexposed, as if shot with a camera and not created from the ground up using computer software.
- The "gem" of the rendering is the old drying rack on the right. Its every feature, however inconspicuous, is elaborated to the finest detail: scratches, cracking paint, and cloth hanging down in folds as if about to come off and fall down at any moment.
Due to the sedulous approach to details, the author precisely expressed the mood and atmosphere of the room. More works of this author you can find here.
What do these interior 3d rendering have in common?
It is the authentic atmosphere, as though you are standing inside these interiors and hear the sounds, sense the smells, touch the textures. If you present your services with such 3D visualizations at hand, the customers will feel as though they have really visited these rooms.
Which brings us back to the beginning of the article: let people touch what you are offering, and they will become your happy clients. And this is what a high-end interior 3D design makes possible.

They have a few locations in Phoenix and the one I went into is Old Town Scottsdale. The neighborhood here has changed from a decade ago and there are quite a few more higher end independent storeowners offering a better selection of goods and food. Cartel is no exception, they are a nicely done relaxed coffee shop that offers some of the best tasting and balanced coffee in Phoenix. While the offerings of that week were more Asian and Central American focused, (No African) they were well roasted and brought out the attendant taste elements of those regions and beans. Their baristas were well verses and themselves coffee aficionados which made talking about the coffee scene in Phoenix easy and informative for me as a visitor. Thanks to them I heard about Provision Coffee in Chandler. You know people are into the spirit of coffee when they freely share. I had a very good time there and count this a sure bet for Phoenix.
