Wow! I had this perfume for a week and had to return it. It has the strength of a nuclear bomb and lasts all day and into the night until the next morning's shower. And even then I could still smell it on my skin Oh for the love of all that is good, don't even spray...

Network technology trends for 2012: The big picture
Forrester Research analyst Andre Kindness shares big picture predictions for network technology trends in 2012: the rise of Huawei and why networkers need software skills
What will happen in the networking industry in 2012? SearchNetworking.com sat down with five leading industry analysts to learn what they are predicting for the new year. Andre Kindness, senior analyst with Forrester Research, told us that network engineers will need to learn how to be software engineers. Also, application delivery controllers and WAN optimization controllers will converge, and Chinese vendor Huawei will compete heavily with Cisco Systems and HP Networking in North America for your business.
Only software network engineers need apply
Enterprises will start looking for network engineers with software engineering skills, Kindness said. More companies will be looking for engineers who can build a network where all the components work together and have an "operating system" to manage them, he said. Vendors will respond to this by highlighting new open APIs (application programming interfaces) and SDKs (software development kits).
"Google is a perfect example of this," he said. "They want to [hire] people with software development backgrounds to work with routing and switching protocols and manipulate the network to do more. Cloud providers are frustrated by the network being so static. They need it to be more dynamic and have a little intelligence behind it."
Huawei to cause headaches for Cisco and HP
In 2011, North American enterprises will start adding Huawei to their network equipment vendor short lists, right alongside Cisco and HP, Kindness said. The Chinese networking vendor's enterprise business has traditionally been limited to the Asia-Pacific market, but that could change in the new year.
"Huawei has quietly entered the North American market and built up an army [of sales and support employees]," Kindness said. "We'll start to see them everywhere."
As a less familiar vendor with a relationship with the Chinese government, Huawei might encounter some resistance from North American enterprises. European companies will be quicker to adopt, and that might tip the scales in the U.S., Kindness said. Enterprises may hesitate to put routers and switches from this relatively new vendor in their data center and network cores, but they will win some customers looking to refresh the edges of their networks, he said.
Today Huawei is known for being a low-cost networking vendor, much like HP Networking has been, Kindness said. This fact will put Huawei head-to-head with HP initially, but Huawei will have to develop a more sophisticated value proposition in order to compete head-to-head with Cisco, he said.
Layer 4-7 devices converge
"Network converged solutions will be the rage," Kindness said. F5 Networks, Citrix Systems, Cisco Systems and Riverbed Technology will start to compete in a new integrated market where application delivery controllers and WAN optimization controllers are delivered as a single solution.
The industry has seen some movement in that direction, with WAN optimization vendor Riverbed Technology's acquisition of Zeus Technology, a vendor of software-based application delivery controllers. Kindness said enterprises will be looking for coordinated deployments of WAN optimization and application delivery controllers (ADCs), where the global load balancing capabilities of ADCs can combine with the caching and compression capabilities of WAN optimization
"These WAN optimization devices need to be more dynamic. ADCs and WAN optimization will mesh together. As people consolidate data centers, one of the biggest problems they can't overcome is latency. You can do that some with WAN optimization, but caching and compression can't overcome how distance affects voice and video latency."
Kindness said this is driven by several trends, such as the growth of cloud computing and the evolution of branch offices from local sales sites to offices with a diverse set of employees, including marketing and engineering staff who demand more applications and services. As these applications move into the cloud, and the demands for services from distributed network locations become more diverse, enterprises will want some coordination between their data center and cloud-based application delivery controllers and WAN optimization controllers.

When Willow Smith shaved her head in 2012, no one was more surprised than her father Will Smith.
The actor opened up, alongside Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, and Mahershala Ali, and more in Jay-Z's new video "Footnotes of Adnis." According to E! News, the men discuss what they've learned from their fathers and what their children have taught them. In the beginning of the video, Jay-Z can be seen talking about his own tumultuous relationship with his father and how he has expressed that anger through music. Will Smith's story revolves around Willow, who buzzed her head at the age of 11 in the middle of her "Whip My Hair" tour.
Smith says that Willow expressed she wanted to leave the tour, but he pushed her to continue on until the end. "We came downstairs and she had shaved her head bald," he says. "She shaved her head bald in the middle of her 'Whip My Hair' tour. I was like, 'Oh, s---.'" Smith realized that he had been overlooking his daughter's needs. He continued, "I'm looking at that girl and I'm like, 'Got it. I understand. You will not have this trouble out of me ever again. Let's go, baby. We can go.'"
So what did Willow teach Smith? "For me, it was that soldier that was pushing and wasn't paying any attention whatsoever to what was going on emotionally with this beautiful little creature in front of me," he said. "That was the first part of the collapsing of my father's suit that I was wearing that wasn't mine."
Jada Pinkett Smith spoke out about Willow's hair at the time, posting on Facebook, "The question why I would LET Willow cut her hair. First the LET must be challenged. This is a world where women, girls are constantly reminded that they don't belong to themselves; that their bodies are not their own, nor their power or self determination. I made a promise to endow my little girl with the power to always know that her body, spirit and her mind are HER domain. Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value, her worth is not measured by the length of her hair."
Willow has definitely had a transformation since her teen rock star days. She is now, at the age of 16, a Chanel muse, musician, actress, and, no less importantly, a budding style icon.
She can definitely rock any hair style—shaved head, pink Mohawk, or otherwise.

Leafnote does something that Treepad cannot do: italics, bold and underline. This has to do with the fact that rtf is much better integrated into OSX than it is into Windows. But apart from that, all that separates Leafnote from Treepad Lite is that Leafnote has a more modern look. Treepad's surface has not really changed any since 1995. But "under the hood," there is a lot more hidden (which you can ignore or use, as you like). All things said and done, one may say that Leafnote is just a more simple Treepad for OSX.
Treepad Lite has much more refined search functions and even has the ability to link to other files via textual links. Come to think of it, the latter would be a great addition to Leafnote.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ScienceFusion from Great Product I've owned this for a few years now and it's the perfect addition to my drawer. It keeps the knives in place and they don't slide around when opening/closing the drawer. Simple, yet effective design.Date published: 2016-07-14Rated 2 out of 5 by donmatteo from Quality control lacking I got the lighter color wood and wanted a product that would organize knives better then laying them in a jumble in the drawer. The holder looks like it will work fine but the quality control of the wood is lacking. The middle slot of the holder has a giant knot in it so I am exchanging it for one that hopefully does not have this flaw.Date published: 2015-09-21Rated 5 out of 5 by Kitgirl from Great in-drawer solution I purchased this along with the 14-slot knife organizer because I had more than 14 knives. They fit nicely together and look like one piece.Date published: 2013-01-16Rated 4 out of 5 by cavemandog from knife rack does the job No frills, no problems with this space saving knife drawer holder.Date published: 2012-08-09Rated 2 out of 5 by WKrauss from Knife Storage for your drawer I loved this knife organizer for your kitchen drawer. I had it for about 2 years. The reason I'm giving it 2 stars is that it split in two and is unusable now. I'm ordering another one because I do really like it and want another one. If this one lasts longer I would give it 5 stars.Date published: 2012-07-30

Lauren is absolutely fabulous! She was able to transform my dull black long boring hair to a beautiful carmel color with long layers. All without breakage! I highly recommend her if you're looking for a great hairstylist with years of experience in color, cutting and styling.
I was referred to Lauren by my boss, and she executed everything exactly as I requested. The color was perfect (pink highlights), and the cut was long layers. My hair has been improperly cut so many times. It's so nice to have found her. She is my new stylist! Rebecca Grissom

Gay Essential Films To Watch, To The Extreme (In Extremis)
Set in Paris in To The Extreme (In Extremis), Bisexual party loving Thomas (Sébastien Roch) lost his wealthy parents in an Alpine accident and is financially taken care of. One of Thomas' older neighbours and lover has a 13 year old son Grégoire (Jérémy Sanguinetti), and he is there to comfort him when his mother passes away suddenly.
Grégoire wants Thomas to obtain custody but Thomas is torn between what he would like to do, and what he knows he should do. Thomas' hedonistic lifestyle does not lend itself to fatherhood and he cannot claim custody. Even with the aid of his prostitute sister Anne (Julie Depardieu) he is unable to keep the disappointed Grégoire from being sent to an orphanage.
Thomas buries his guilty conscience by parting, participating in a series of orgies and one-night stands. When Thomas begins to realise that his failure is destroying the life of someone he truly cares about, he aids the boy's escape from the orphanage to move with him to his home in Ibiza.

As an active member of the York community, I enjoyed the fast-paced lifestyle that kept me busy. Until recently, my life has become rather quiet and slow. After a few months of unsuccessful job search and staying at home, I found myself adapting to this new pace and accepting this relaxed atmosphere, eventually embracing this dull, yet, peaceful life. For some reason, all those big dreams seemed somewhat courageous, but perhaps somewhat naive.
I started asking myself why we work so hard. Why do we have to try to get anything else when the status quo is sufficient? Many times have I heard from people around me that they are happy with what they already have. They are rather satisfied with a simple job, enjoying their times with family and friends, living a normal and stress-free life. It reminded me of a restaurant that I often visited when I was still in school. Although the restaurant had an ordinary decor, the food was superb.
Life could be just as good with a simple bowl of noodle every day. I'm completely convinced that if I were to give up now and forget about all my big goals, life could instantly become much easier. So why am I still trying so hard? Just as I thought I had discovered a new way of life, I found myself transforming slowly into the modern version of Macbeth; so brave and motivated, yet so wracked with my own insecurity and paranoia.
Each one of us may have different reasons to pursue our own desires; perhaps for some the answer is quite simple and obvious. But for me, I just can't imagine myself going into that same restaurant every time for the rest of my life. It's that simple. No matter how great things may seem at a certain point, there would always be other things that are different, things that could be better. There are still so many things we haven't done; so much potential unrealized. So many great people that we will never be able to meet without a great story of our own. The path to the top may be tough, but to stand above all and see the world from a different perspective could be priceless. That is why I have to keep moving and keep fighting, neither for wealth nor anyone else, but to constantly strive to see and create a bigger world and a better me.

When Israelis think of the city Lod – foreigners barely ever think of Lod, other than vague associations with nearby Ben Gurion International Airport – they generally think of Arab-Jewish tensions, slums, poverty, gang wars and drugs. The Hebrew press speaks of a growing radicalization among the Moslem population: mosques that have stood empty since the War of Independence have reopened and are bursting at the seams; women are increasingly seen dressed in the traditional long black dress and veil; intimidation of moderate Arabs and almost daily incitement against Jewish neighbors.
Possibly the most acute aspect of the inter-religious tensions in Lod, population 68,000, is the real estate "war" that is increasingly heating up. Young Arab families are buying up apartments and houses from Jewish families, thereby causing other Jewish neighbors to sell, lowering property value and leaving Jewish communal institutions abandoned.
And it's not only that: The Interior Ministry-appointed municipal township is barely functioning, at least according to a recent State Comptroller's report. A Knesset Member of the Kadima party has been asked to intervene in order that an Internal Ministry report on the municipality's functioning be released.
Education in the city is also suffering: Over the past seven years, high school matriculation eligibility among 12th grade students dropped by 13%.
Ray of Light: Religious-Zionist Core Group
But there are also several rays of light, and possibly the brightest one is the 14-year-old Gar'in Torani (Torah core group). Comprised of young, idealistic religious Zionist families, the group has chosen to make Lod its home, aiming to change the trend, assure a strong Jewish presence in a centrally-located Israeli town, and assist the weaker elements of Lod who had begun to feel abandoned.
The list of accomplishments of the Gar'in is impressive: A Yeshiva high school, an Ulpana (high school for girls), a pre-military yeshiva academy, two community centers, classes for adolescent girls, Torah classes in synagogues, distribution of clothes and food to the needy, a Midrasha (study program) for National Service volunteers, and enrichment programs for young parents of kindergarten children.
A new housing complex of 150 apartments built by the group has 100% occupancy, and another 352 units are being built. This proves that "they're here to stay," says Aharon Atias, the director of the Gar'in.
The Maoz pre-military academy was established four years ago in an abandoned school building in a run-down neighborhood. Attias explains:
"One of the most neglected and problematic neighborhoods in Lod is Ramat Eshkol. The neighborhood constituency is 60% Arab, and the rest are Ethiopian immigrants and destitute Jews who don't have the money or motivation to move out. The crime rate is very high, women are afraid to walk outside even in daylight, and it looks very run-down... We heard that an elementary school was closing down in Ramat Eshkol, and asked the city to let our pre-army Yeshiva use the building. We hoped to change the downward spiraling of the neighborhood by our very presence, and despite some dissent from Arab residents, we were given this building last September."
The school building was dilapidated, but the Gar'in didn't have the money for renovations. The boys slept in abandoned classrooms, studied in an assembly hall with no air conditioning, and for a while even showered with a garden hose on the sports field. At the same time, however, they immediately set about making themselves useful in the neighborhood. They invited children into the building to receive help with their homework and Bar Mitzva lessons, distributed food packages to needy families, did renovations such as painting run-down houses of single-parent families, and played basketball with adolescents who had dropped out of school.
The physical situation in the academy improved when Izo Ostrovitzky and his family took an active interest. With their help, and that of other donors, a roomy Beit Medrash (study hall) has been built for the benefit of the students and residents, comfortable dormitories and a dining hall have been built, a fitness room has been added, and a large sports field has been upgraded, shared with both the Jewish and Arab children of the neighborhood.
At the dedication, following speeches by IDF Chief Rabbi Brig.-Gen. Avichai Ronsky and Minister of Science Prof. Rabbi Daniel Hershkovitz, one of the students explained what he and his friends are doing in Lod: "We learn Talmud, we prepare for the army, and we try to give the neighbors a feeling that things can be better. In the end, it's not just the help we extend, the games we play with the children, or the food we distribute. It's just our presence, just being here, which makes all the difference in the world."

Immediately I thought what is going to ruin this? Messed up right? Well like clockwork the universe answered my question in the most unimaginable way.
I lost my baby this week. My shadow. My booba. She blessed me with 13 years. It wasn't long enough though. My heart is broken. My voice cracks when I talk about anything. Memories and sadness surround me. I know time will heal this pain but for now I am not sure when I can record a podcast episode. Until the balance within me is restored I am not even going to think about recording an episode. I will however focus on my editing.
Her death, the unrelenting emptiness I feel I will learn to carry as I continue to live and dream of my future. Of course I will always wish she could be by my side – snoring like usual – but she will always bring a smile to my face, tears to my eyes because of the love she effortlessly gave. If you have anything in your life you love please tell them – constantly – and hold them tight.

Training & Consulting services are also available for companies in Bali. If you want to train your staffs, or simply want the secrets on how to show up in Google Search search results, I will help you to achieve that and make you visible online.
For this training & consulting, I will be focus on 'on-site SEO for blog', though other areas are also possible upon requests. To gain most traffics to your website, company profile itself is not sufficient, therefore you will need to show off your expertise to your readers or target market through blogging platform, which can be integrated with your main website.
With 10 years experience in writing, I have managed and run several websites — all with best traffics through Google referrals — whose almost all the posts are showing up in the 1st page of Google search results. With this expertise, I'm passionate to share this priceless secret to you. Yes, you!
This session is for you if you:
- Are a company or individual based in Bali.
To get effective outcome, I require the face-to-face session for this training.
Other cities are possible with traveling expenses incurred are to be borne by the client.
- Have website already, but do not perform well.
Either you are a marketing or content director who have the responsibility to get your company visible, you have to keep up with the current trend that people, in fact, look for anything online.
- Want to get more traffics from your website.
Planning, creating, and writing good contents are the key. But in fact, showing up in Google is not as difficult as you think — juts if you know how to do it right.
- Have resources to write for your websites, but don't know how to use them.
You have your own staffs, so why should you pay freelance writer to fill in your content? Let me train your resources, and you will notice the results within 1 month. This is definitely a one-time investment. Please note that, for this service, I will not offer my writing services, as my focus will be to train the resources you have.
This session includes:
- Half-day (6-hours) training session for 2-4 people.
Please note that, additional staff(s) will incur additional charge.
- 6 modules to publish your content with powerful SEO.
- Some required templates and worksheets for managing the content publishing.
- The secret SEO techniques on how to show up in top Google search results.
Price: Rp. 2.500.000,-
Price may differ for:
- Big group which owns 3 or more business units or companies.
- Digital marketing or advertising or publishing companies.
Please kindly note that this price is very reasonable for long-term investment, considering paying SEO article itself has cost Rp.200.000,- per article, and set-up an additional SEO configuration in a website can cost up to 5 million plus yearly maintenance cost incurred.
Money Back Guarantee!
If you and your team has put all my advise and training into action but see no results at all after 60-days, I will give 50% REFUND.

Project information
Nursing Training Centre for rural Kenya
Having sourced training equipment from the UK Out of Afrika would like to establish a Nursing Training Centre at ICT College in Thika, Kenya. Our aim is to offer nurse training courses alongside our already established Fire and Safety Management and First Aid courses.
Charity information: Out Of Afrika
In rural communities in Kenya, the majority of the people live in extreme poverty; confronted by malnutrition, malaria and the devastating affects of HIV and AIDS. Many suffer from conditions for which they are unable to access or afford the necessary treatment, resulting in many preventable deaths, particularly in children under 5.
A shortage of health personnel is hampering access to medical services in
Kenya especially in rural areas.Kenya needs at least 80,000 more nurses.
Out of Afrika aims to establish a nursing school at International Centre of
Technology. The proposed Nursing school will be a Centre of Excellence
providing programmes for the education and training for nurses at an
international standard with an emphasis on whole person care and integrated approaches to the delivery of care. The Out of Afrika Nursing School will assist increase the number of trained nurses in Kenya and improve the quality of care for rural areas.
Aim 1
Build and equip the Out of Afrika School of Nursing at ICT College, Thika, Kenya
Activities» Out of Afrika has already been offered medical and nursing equipment from the UK.Events in the UK will start the fundraising for the building fund
What success will look like
Building a medical centre to host the School of Nursing at ICT College. Success will be providing excellent education and training facilities for nursing students.
It is hoped that Out of Afrika School of Nursing will evolve to become a centre of excellence providing programs for student nurses to learn skills for vital health development in Kenya. Success will be increasing the quality of health education in rural Kenya and delivering a step by step increase in the number of well educated health professionals throughout the country.
We will include community placements as part of the course, enabling the students to take their new skills to the community
Risks of this project could involve enrolling a substantial number of student nurses in order to open a successful medically equipped education and training centre at ICT College.
ICT College successfully market and promote current courses to ensure the suitable number of students are present to run their courses. Out of Afrika has received small offers of donated medical and nursing equipment from the UK to start the nursing school.
Funders of this project will receive reports and photos of the nursing students at the training centre and in the local community. They will also receive Out of Afrika newsletters and updates will be available on the website. Out of Afrika will offer regular email reports to donors.
Budget - Project Cost: £8,500Loading graph....
Amount Heading Description £6,500 Medical Centre Building for School of Nursing £1,000 Equipment Specialist medical equipment in addition to already offered donations from UK £1,000 Books and Uniform Uniform and educational materials for first years students
The project will be based in Thika.Out Of Afrika (OOA) began in 1996 working at grass root level with local communities in and around the Thika District and other parts of Kenya.The charity grew out of a need to respond to the desperate plight of orphaned, disabled and disadvantaged children who live without basic amenities and can't afford an education with a Child Sponsorship program.ICT College serves the same community and throughout Kenya offering fire safety education and training.
The effects of poverty are mostly felt by the vulnerable groups such as
youths, children and women are all at risk. Children suffer most amongst
other deprivations, from hunger and malnutrition.Women comprise the majority of those affected by poverty.They are afforded fewer educational opportunities and have maternal responsibilities at home.Thika has a population of 139,853 which is growing rapidly,as is the entire greater Nairobi area.Our aim is to train & educate nurses to serve this area

The Winner Casino app review
As a truly fantastic outlet for keen gamers, the Winner Casino app platform has many different features to boast about. Although it does run alongside many competitors, it is a popular choice for those who have a strong focus on casino games.
The Winner Casino app is absolutely jam-packed with favourites that everyone can enjoy. There are also a lot of new games from other markets incorporated into this app too, such as Mr Cash Back, The Sopranos and Highway Kings. The table games probably get most use, but the slots and scratch cards are popular too.

The exclusive offers make the game play even more exciting and the fact that you can play for real money or simply for fun and games means that everyone can enjoy this app, without having to take any risks.

After a night of particular frustration in late December, U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Kenneth Pinkela decided to take a step toward finally finding justice for what he claims is a wrongful HIV exposure conviction. Pinkela wrote a Change.org petition entitled "Review an innocent soldier's wrongful conviction." It asks Secretary of the U.S. Army John McHugh to review and dismiss his court-martial so that Pinkela can rejoin the army, where he served for 26 years prior to his conviction in 2012. According to Pinkela, even though the main witness in the trial against him has recanted his story, that has not resulted in any movement toward Pinkela being declared innocent in the eyes of the law.
After his 2012 conviction, Pinkela spent 272 days in prison. Not only did he lose his retirement, medical and insurance benefits -- which is especially challenging given his HIV status -- there's one particular punishment that really stings. "I've lost everything. When I mean everything, I mean everything. I can't even have a flag on my coffin. It's as if I've been erased," Pinkela said.
In less than three weeks, Pinkela's petition had reached nearly 64,000 signatures, a number Pinkela is still amazed to have reached but now is ready to exceed.
"We didn't want to put a cap on it, because we didn't really know where it was going to go. The bigger the number the better, obviously," Pinkela said on a phone call from his home.
Aside from thousands of digital supporters, Pinkela also garnered support from the people at Change.org. Only 24 hours after he posted the petition on their site, he received a personal call from them. Pinkela says they were outraged. They were so stunned that they asked for documents verifying that the proceedings he mentioned were real. Pinkela's answer: "How big is your inbox?"
The interest from Change.org still amazes Pinkela. "I thought it was so professional," he said.
Pinkela added that one of the Change.org employees knew someone in a serodiscordant relationship (where one person is HIV negative and the other is HIV positive) who also had troubles with the U.S. armed forces as someone living with HIV.
Pinkela lives in Otisville, New York. His options for travel are limited, as every state has different statutes on how to treat his case. He says he cannot move back to Virginia because he was put on its sex offender registry without even having his case reviewed. If he plans to be in Florida for more than 48 hours, he has to notify the local police authority that he will be passing through their state.
Pinkela mentioned that he would close the petition when he felt he had gotten the amount of signatures he needs -- though he doesn't have an exact number in mind right now. As he writes in his petition, he just wants "to get my life back and continue to serve my country and support my family." Once Pinkela closes the petition, Change.org will print out the official petition as well as the signatures and comments as a single document, which Pinkela will then present to Secretary McHugh.
To learn more about Pinkela's case and to sign the petition, visit Change.org.

Booking.com: best prices
Visit LumioSave Lumio to your own travel plan
Lumio is a picturesque village in the hills above the sea with views over the bay towards Calvi. It is on the coast road from Calvi to l'ile-Rousse.
Exploring Lumio
One of the main reasons to visit Lumia is for its excellent views over the Golfe de Calvi. With the sea, the view of Calvi and also the backdrop of hills it is well worth a stop.
Lumio itself is centered around its attractive baroque church and tall square bell-tower which is seperate to the church. The village spreads out from the church and includes some attractive villas built in the local stone.
As well as the olive trees that abound in the area Lumio has palm trees, mimosas, lemon trees and agaves adding to the charm of the village. The surrounding 'maquis' or scrub that covers much of Corsica is a lovely mix of olives, Pistacia lentiscus, Cistus plants with many small oaks and lavenders and curry plants. It looks and smells wonderful.
Further down the village is the pretty Romanesque chapel of Saint Pierre and Saint Paul built in the 11th century.
There is a pretty walk which starts in Lumio (by the Santa Maria church in the main square) and goes to the abandonned village of Occi. It was abandonned for lack of water and is now in ruins and is an evocative sight. Its church has been restored by volunteers. A little further along the path from Occi is a panoramic viewpoint.
A good day to visit Lumio is Wednesday morning when the village is animated by its weekly market.
One of the best beaches in this part of Corsica is the Arinella beach on the coast below Lumia. This is a great sandy beach with shallow water great for children and plenty of water based acrivities. The backdrop of hill plus the scattering of large flat rocks on the beach add to its charm.
Places to Visit Nearby
The town of Calvi is a popular seaside resort and has a pleasant harbour and an old citadelle.
L'ile-Rousse is a pretty coastal town very popular with visitors to this area.
Inland of Lumio visit the villages of the Balagne. Sant Antonino is one of the prettiest of these and others include Corbara, Pigna and Aregno.
You can find more local travel ideas in the guide.

Included in this article
Due to changes to the SFDC integration architecture, action is required soon to continue syncing a small number of fields to your Salesforce instance.
Unlike the hundreds of fields that sync between your Marketo and Salesforce instance every day, these fields are set up by deploying a separate "package" on force.com. Now, we can directly sync these fields just like the others.
Most customers are only using a couple of these fields in their Salesforce instance – Lead Score and Acquisition Program. However, if your SFDC users rely on any of the 16 fields affected, you'll need to make some quick modifications to the integration setup.
What's Happening?
Marketo's MLM AppExchange package is being retired. The core Marketo > SFDC sync functionality will remain unchanged.
The MLM package itself doesn't do much, but was responsible for taking 16 fields from Marketo and creating 32 corresponding SFDC fields to sync data into (16 on the Lead object, 16 on the Contact object).
The configuration update will shut off the sync of data to the MLM package and these fields, so the data in those fields in SFDC will become stale and won't update.
You can keep syncing the same data to SFDC but it requires creating new custom fields.
Once the fields are created, a drip process will be initiated to backfill existing data from Marketo into the new fields in SFDC.
The MLM package will be officially deprecated as of January 31st, 2017. The data will stop syncing to the fields created by the MLM package after this date.
Fields Affected
When the configuration change happens, data will stop syncing from these 16 Marketo fields to their 32 corresponding SFDC fields.

text: Why These Immigrants Gravitate to Math, Science The age one came to the US plays a role By Elizabeth Armstrong Moore, Newser Staff Posted Mar 31, 2017 8:17 AM CDT 18 comments In this Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2014 photo, math is taught to high school students whose families were detained at the border in Karnes City, Texas. (AP Photo/Eric Gay) (Newser) – It's formally called the Regeneron Student Talent Search, but it's more casually known as the "Junior Nobel"—and the high schooler who wins the elite science prize walks with $250,000. A study on last year's finalists turned up something interesting, reports Teen Vogue: 83% of the 40 were children of immigrants. And as NPR reports, new research may suggest a possible contributing factor. Reporting in the journal Demography, the two researchers looked at US census data and found that immigrants tend to choose jobs requiring physical strength, suggesting obstacles to accessing to higher levels of education. But among immigrants with a college degree, the landscape is very different. Those who went to college, came to the States as older children, and hailed from a country more linguistically different than the US (think Vietnam vs. Germany) were much more likely to pursue a science, tech, engineering, or math (STEM) field. This is especially true for kids arriving after age 10. The researchers hypothesize in a press release that such immigrants may prefer working on a subject like math, a universal language. "The more difficult it is for the child to learn English [and it becomes trickier after 10], the more likely they will invest in math/logic and physical skills over communications skills," says co-author Marcos Rangel. It's not a full explanation, but they hope to highlight that there may be many nuances influencing why we pursue the fields we do. (Here's what migrant children are fleeing.)

Brain Tissue Changes In Amebic Meningioencephalitis
A little bit of a chilly and sad story as N fowleri has claimed the life of an Arizona boy. That brings the total for the year throughout the country to 6 deaths. Over the decade before 2007 the average had only been approximately 2 deaths/year.
A 14-year-old Lake Havasu boy has become the sixth victim to die nationwide this year of a microscopic organism that attacks the body through the nasal cavity, quickly eating its way to the brain.
Aaron Evans died Sept. 17 of Naegleria fowleri, an organism doctors said he probably picked up a week before while swimming in the balmy shallows of Lake Havasu.
The amoeba typically live in lake bottoms, grazing off algae and bacteria in the sediment. Beach said people become infected when they wade through shallow water and stir up the bottom. If someone allows water to shoot up the nose — say, by doing a cannonball off a cliff — the amoeba can latch onto the person's olfactory nerve.
The amoeba destroys tissue as it makes its way up to the brain.
Naegleria is a scary disease. Here's the CDC fact sheet. One day you're swimming in typically still, warm, fresh water and 1 to 2 weeks later you're dead.
Once infected, most people have little chance of survival. Some drugs have been effective stopping the amoeba in lab experiments, but people who have been attacked rarely survive, Beach said.
"Usually, from initial exposure it's fatal within two weeks," Beach said.
That being said, realize how rare this is. I'm not trying to spread this public health efforts as terror, which has become so popular in the mainstream media.

Gala of the Royal Horses entertains Kellogg Arena crowdMonday, July 20, 2015
"The moment Rene Gasser emerges from behind the giant red curtain, he demands the respect of the audience, and of the horse guided by his hand. Demonstrating a common training technique, he gently taps the left leg of a powerful white horse named Havanno with a crop, nudging the beast to kick up the leg and hold it for a moment."

This past week brought news of a horrible series of crimes committed in Philadelphia1, where hundreds of babies many mothers were killed by an abortionist. The doctor in question has been charged with multiple counts of murder, infanticide, conspiracy, abuse of corpse, theft, and other offenses.2 His practice, if that is what we can call it, preyed on the young and the defenseless. The conditions of the clinic were so horrible that investigating crews could only enter the premises wearing HAZMAT gear. This week, I saw pictures of human parts wrapped in plastic or placed in clear plastic containers for "research." I could not believe what I was seeing. This side of abortion is, of course, never publicized in the popular media. And it is because of this reluctance, and the urgency on this issue that I feel in my own heart, that I have started the sermon in this way.
It so happens that the prosecution of these terrible crimes in Philadelphia corresponded with preparations for Sanctity of Life Sunday, a day in which churches all over the country are proclaiming and celebrating the miraculous gift of life from Almighty God. Originally, my intent was to simply preach from the lectionary texts this week. But the story of this horrible series of crimes against the unborn and their mothers has gravely affected me. Christians everywhere should be rising up in protest against this ongoing slaughter. As long as abortion is continually presented merely as a "choice," like the decision to get a tooth filled or what to order off the fast food menu, these stories will continue. 55 million children have been killed in this way, since the Supreme Court decision Roe v Wade in 1973, 38 years ago.
It is the sanctity of human life that drove the selection of texts this morning. We all need to be reminded what God says about human life in his Word. What is its origin? Who creates and develops human beings? And what is the ultimate purpose for the existence of human beings. You need to know what the bible, God's Word, says on these things, not just what Pastor Chris' opinion is about them.
Origin: Human Beings Are Created in the Image of God
The first text is Genesis 1, the first chapter of the first book of the bible, at verses 27-28, which reads:
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. [28] And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth."Men and women are created in God's image. Did you notice that the scriptures say this twice in a row? Why the duplication? In Hebrew, doublets like this one add emphasis. Human beings are absolutely created in God's image. I do not think this image is only recognizable after a child is born. Biology and the bible both tell us that human life begins in the womb before birth. Therefore, the image of God is somehow present even in the microscopic zygote making its way through the fallopian tube to the lining of the womb. God's image is even in that tiny, tiny package of humanity. To be created in God's image means, in the context of this passage, that humans are representatives of God. They are granted, in Genesis, authority in God's name over the whole of the creation. There is divine dignity, therefore, in the unborn.
Development: Human Beings in the Womb Are Fully Human Throughout Development
Other scriptures make it clear that there is a baby in the womb, not just an impersonal fetus. Here is just one example from Genesis 25, where Isaac's wife Rebekah becomes pregnant after a protracted season of barrenness. Here's what we read, beginning at verse 22:
[22] The children struggled together within her, and she said, "If it is thus, why is this happening to me?" So she went to inquire of the LORD. [23] And the LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger." [24] When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb.Human beings are human beings from the get-go, and are formed and developed by the hand of God. Consider again these words from Psalm 139, which we just read responsively:
[13] For you [God] formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. [14] I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. [15] My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. [16] Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.It could not be clearer the God is the actor in the womb, bringing forth new human beings in his likeness and image, by means of a male and female created in God's image.
The sanctity of human life can also be seen in the one-flesh union of marriage. In Matthew 19:4-5, Jesus is asked about the permissibility of divorce. Here is what our Lord said in response:
[4] He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, [5] and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? [6] So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."In this statement about marriage, Jesus affirms several truths about human life. First: God created humanity in God's image as male and female. Jesus testifies and affirms the truth of Genesis 1. Second: God performs marriage, which should give us great pause as we consider the existence of something called "no-fault divorce." Third: God crafts humans in the womb as the fruit of the marriages God creates and performs. In other words, God's command to the humans in Genesis 1 to be fruitful and multiply is enabled by God's fashioning of life. God creates what God commands.
Why does God do these wonderful things; the creation of human beings in God's likeness and image; and the formation of unions in which new human beings created in his image are formed and developed for life inside and outside the womb? Psalm 139 makes it clear that there is a divine purpose in mind. There are, in God's book, days formed for every human being created in God's image. Why?
Purpose: God Has an Eternal Plan and Purpose for His Human Children
That question brings us to Ephesians 1:3-14, one glorious sentence in the original Greek. A series of sermons could be preached on this single chapter, but I want to focus on three crucial verses because of what they say about the God's plan for human beings. Those verses are 1:3-6
[3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, [4] even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love [5] he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, [6] to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.Several things can be said about these verses.
First, God chose his children far in advance of their conception and birth. That is why Paul writes, "he chose us in him before the foundation of the world." Reflect on that great truth for a few seconds. God knew you before you were conceived, before your parents were conceived, before their parents were conceived, before everything. In his eternal council and will, God has chosen his children, born and as yet unborn. The existence of abortion is a declaration by our society we don't believe this.
Second, those children were chosen because they were predestined for something, namely, adoption. Every single Christians is an adopted child, no exceptions. You are the son or daughter of your biological parents when you were born, but you become a child of the Most High God by adoption into God's family, and those so chosen were destined for this adoption from the before the time of the creation. The reason for this adoption by God is that he loves his children. Verses 4-5: "In love [5] he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will." The sign of that adoption by God is the sacrament of Baptism, which we will administer to Crosby in a few minutes. The existence of abortion in our culture is a proclamation by the society that there are unborn children who are unqualified for God's love.
Third, ultimately God's choosing of children for adoption out of love is of grace for something. Verses 5-6 tell us what that something is:
[5] he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, [6] to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.Human beings chosen by God for adoption as children of God through Jesus Christ for the purpose of praising and glorifying God. The existence of abortion in our society declares that we think our individual autonomy is of greater importance than the praise of God's glory.
Earlier this week, a pastor named Jared Wilson said, "There is no 'least of these' lesser than unborn children." That means ultimately issues like the sanctity of human life and abortion are ultimately about Jesus.
Our Hope Can Only Be Found in the Gospel
These things are incredibly difficult to hear, but we need to hear them. We need to know the depth of our sin and ask God to forgive us. We need to repent, which means to decisively change course, so that human life will be treated with the sanctity is has been blessed with by God. And we need to hear again the message of God's grace and forgiveness in Jesus Christ. God's grace is infinitely larger than our sin, and it is there that we find our hope.
What does that mean for the us? I can tell you one thing it means for this congregation. The session late last year authored a resolution requesting our presbytery to grant this congregation relief on conscience from the abortion provision of the Board of Pensions health care plan. The presbytery will decide weather or not to grant such relief at the next meeting of the Presbytery this February 5th. I would ask that you pray for the presbytery as it makes its decision. If granted, a dollar amount equal to the cost of abortion procedures from the prior year is set aside from the Medical Plan dues of employers that have relief of conscience status. These monies are transferred to the Board of Pensions Assistance Program, where they provide a small portion of the funding for Adoption Assistance Grants to Benefits Plan members.
Second, other churches in our denomination with greater resources than ours have undertaken the tremendous ministry of connecting pregnant women with adoption agencies and parents who are eager to adopt. Peachtree Presbyterian Church in Atlanta has pledged to help anyone who walks in the door or who is referred to them. If you know of someone who might need to avail themselves of such a ministry, please let me know, and pray for these churches and these important ministries. As Paul makes clear in Ephesians, every Christian is adopted. Having been so graciously adopted, should not adoption be a huge ministry of the church?
I am deeply aware that there may be, in our congregation, wildly divergent and conflicting views on this issue. I am also aware that this topic can be the source of tremendous pain and grief. There may be some listening who are feeling intense feelings of guilt or judgment as a result of hearing from God's word. That is why we need to know that God's grace in Jesus Christ is sufficient to cover any number and any magnitude of sin. That is why we need to know that Jesus' love is so deep for his children that he was himself willing to sacrificially give up his life for sinners who are themselves "the least of these." Those who believe in Jesus are granted, free of charge, eternal freedom from sin and sin's guilt and death. For this an all other difficult issues, look to Christ our Head. He will see us through. Jesus said, "[10:10]The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. [11] I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." He grants mercy where there is hopelessness and life life where there is death. As Paul wrote to Timothy so many years ago:
[1:15] The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.Amen.

Things have been hectic over the summer months, difficult to dicipline time aside to write any blog posts. We have just completed another Plantarium show in Netherlands.
Plantarium seemed a quieter show this year yet quality and quantity of serious enquires were up on last year. This years show again attracted a lot of visitors from USA and our business there continues to progress despite the general economic downturn and uncertain year this year. Of course if we were fortunate enough to live in better times I am sure we like everyone would be a lot happier but possibly slow growth will make us stronger.
We have been holding back a little from announcing some of our newest plants for 2012 but I assure you all that will change in the coming months and we will feature some of our new key plants for 2012 as we build towards IPM 2012 which takes place at the end of January and this will be our 6th year exhibiting at this great show. I have loaded some pictures from Plantarium 2011 to my facebook page.
Plantarium 2011 had a stronger focus this year on hardy woody plants and our Nandina got great attention. Our Carex range continues to attract great interest and our newest addition Carex Everillo is off to a fantastic start. Everillo amongst plenty of our other Carex was on two growers stands at Plantarium and they report great interest in this plant. While hardy and woody plants are making a resurgence Cordyline and spot colour is also forging ahead so long as its not too expensive the public hunger for colour is unstoppable. Sometimes we may forget we are not only growing plants but also providing colour in peoples environment and this is one important function of plants. If you look closely at peoples expressions when they look at plants you will son learn plants can be responsible for positive mood swings and this i s due in no small part to the influence of colour, at least I believe so. I did a post a while back on my blog on some plants that bring such colour. I need to update this urgently as so many additional colours are now coming in very hardy easy care plants.
In the meantime I hope you enjoy the fading light of summer and hopefully we can have one of those beautiful Septembers we sometimes get in this part of the world.

This week you should use "cats & dogs" on your card. Boy.. this card was already finished and submitted to Deb and Andrea, otherwise i would have loved to sent yesterdays card in :-) However.. Rufus is adorable. I think he is one of the MUST-have animal/accessory stamps Magnolia has to offer. I have used him quite a lot on cards and projects.
Since the image was really fast colored, i thought I'd give the DP some extra texture and sewed also along the lines of the DP (the diagonals). When i made my first "bite mark" cards i had a couple of emails how i created these. You can read about it here: Card for Gizmo

The Saturday before Christmas we celebrated with Dave's side. It was at Dave's brother Jon & his wife Anisa's house and everyone but Lucinda & Aaron were able to join us. Jon & Anisa just moved into their first home a few weeks ago, so it was nice to see it! It's a cute! We ate soups for dinner and enjoyed cookies, presents, and chatting afterwards.
Logan enjoyed playing with his cousins McKay and Lindsay. Lindsay lives in our basement, so we see her all the time and they just love each other! McKay was super excited to see Logan and exchange gifts. This year I had Logan give each of his cousins a little gift so he can learn to give. It was especially hard, because he really wanted most of the toys, but a good lesson to learn.
The next day (Sunday) we headed over to my parents for a Chinese food Christmas Dinner. Sheila and Scott were missing from the dinner, but everyone else was there. It's some what of a tradition in our family to do Egg Rolls, so we filled and fried! The food was great (as always).
Logan had so much fun playing with his cousin Andrea, and we had fun chatting and playing games. It was a great time! Logan again had a hard time giving away his gift to Andrea, but there were so many toys to play with that it ended up ok.
Christmas Day we had fun just as a family. We opened presents, played with all the new toys Logan got, and just relaxed. It was so nice to have a little break from the hustle and bustle of the season.
Christmas Day we had fun just as a family. We opened presents, played with all the new toys Logan got, and just relaxed. It was so nice to have a little break from the hustle and bustle of the season.
Dave took the entire week and a half between Christmas and New Years off, so we were able to do a lot of relaxing. We all came down with a cold somewhere in there, but since we had so much time off, it worked out well.
Dave also started working on his new hobby of wood working during this time. He's building Logan a play table for his new train set/legos/cars or whatever. So far he has the legs put onto the base. Logan's loved putting a blanket over it and making a "fort" out of it to hide in. I'm sure he'll love it even more when it's done.
I took it easy a lot of the time off. I read a few books and have been catching up on some unfinished sewing projects. It's been nice to have extra time since Dave's been home to help out. I also tried a few gluten free recipes, since I've gone gluten free on the 1st of January.
