BUS 390: Leadership and Cross-cultural Management Caribbean
4 credits
3 weeks in the Caribbean
Professor Jeffrey Shay
This course focuses on developing both leadership and cross-cultural management skills through immersing students in an intensive, leadership rich, and culturally diverse environment. Students and faculty will live onboard a 50 foot bareboat yacht while travelling in the British Virgin Islands and the Leeward Islands. Living and learning onboard a yacht for 21 days can be quite a quite transformative experience. Students will be required to adapt to their new and unfamiliar surroundings, both in terms of the yacht and the cultures visited. Moreover, students will be required to assume many new roles and responsibilities on a daily basis, ranging from leading the crew as their skipper to utilizing newly developed navigational skills to plot the course to the next harbor and assure that the yacht arrives safely to preparing and serving a meal to the crew of nine or ten. To enrich the onboard experience for participants, students will be completing daily readings on leadership and discussing them with the crew once the yacht is underway. In addition, each student will be required to maintain a daily analytical journal that applies the readings to their experience onboard. No prior sailing experience is required as students will develop sailing, navigation, and yacht management proficiencies through living and learning onboard the yacht. Pre-requisites: Passing W&L swimming test.
Program Fee: (Paid to W&L) $ 3,900 to include room (on the boat) and board, ferries and other transportation, custom fees, etc.
Other Estimated Costs: Airfare $600-800.
Mandatory Pre-Departure Orientation: Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at 7 p.m. in Northen Auditorium, Leyburn Library.
For further information, email Prof. Shay.

The University High School Marching Band of Orlando, FL plays their halftime show while lightning strikes a tree just outside the stadium. Within 25 seconds the drum major cuts off the band and calls the band off the field as the stadium empties.
It's not safe for anybody to be outside during a storm where lightning is present. Sometimes lightning occurs without warning. At times it can even appear to come out of nowhere which is what seems to happen in this video. What's a band supposed to do when lightning happens?
According to the Florida Music Education Association, this is the primary guideline for student safety when it comes to lightning and outdoor activities:
"It is non-negotiable that the band director must move all students and adults to a safe shelter if the "flash to bang" ratio is 30 seconds or less. Use the school's lightning detector (obtain from athletic department at your school). You may also use cell phones for weather warnings. If lightning is within six miles, you must evacuate."
The National Weather Service lists these tips if you are caught outside with no safe shelter anywhere nearby (italics added by MBIA):
- Immediately get off elevated areas such as hills, mountain ridges or peaks (this includes stadium bleachers!)
- Never lie flat on the ground
- Never shelter under an isolated tree (look for a clump of trees with taller trees in the middle)
- Never use a cliff or rocky overhang for shelter
- Immediately get out and away from ponds, lakes and other bodies of water
- Stay away from objects that conduct electricity (barbed wire fences, power lines, windmills, etc.)

Stop treating people like beggars or face hatred – Yellow Vests to Macron
A group associated with Yellow Vests has written a fiery open letter to Emmanuel Macron, warning the French president against treating people like beggars, rejecting his nationwide debate, and demanding a major tax reduction.
The missive was posted in the Angry France group on Facebook, which unites almost 300,000 supporters of the Yellow Vest movement, and was also sent to the local media late on Thursday.
"Anger will turn into hatred if you continue, from your pedestal, you and your associates, to look at little people like beggars," the protesters warned Macron.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the Engineering a Better World conference organised by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng) and CAETS.
The day was a celebration of engineering and everything is has to offer to international development – in particular, a focus on how engineering can help to achieve all 17 of the UN's sustainable development goals (SDGs).
We began the day with an address from RAEng president, Professor Dame Ann Dowling, who provided the audience with an overview of the work of the organisation and some impressive statistics around the decrease in poverty since the early nineties. The morning continued with two thought-provoking presentations from the president of Mauritius, Dr Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, and the president and CEO of the UN Global Partnerships Forum, Amir Dossal. Comments from the audience followed, with questions ranging from how we monitor the implementation of the SDGs, to the need for gender equality in the field of engineering, to the need for science and engineering experts in government.
After a swift break the morning continued with sessions focusing on working to scale. Dr Mo Ibrahim, the founder and director of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, gave a compelling account of the development of the telecommunications industry throughout Africa and the difficulties that arose when establishing infrastructure in countries as large as Europe. China's former minister of railways Professor He Huawu followed with a presentation on the China Association of Science and Technology, and, finally for that session, there was a talk from Dr Jo da Silva, the director of ARUP International Development, on the work they are doing around engineering. Silva presented an interesting concept that it is not only the quality of education that matters but also the quality of the classrooms themselves. ARUP is currently designing cost-effective classrooms in sub-Saharan Africa that will encourage effective learning and stand against the increasing frequency of climate change challenges.
The final session of the morning focused on innovation and entrepreneurship when transforming lives. Jamila Abass of M-Farm talked about the invention of an app within Kenya that connects farmers with potential buyers, and Dr Shashi Buluswar, the CEO of the Institute for Transformative Technologies gave a brilliant presentation on technological solutions for addressing poverty and social ills. He demonstrated their importance through highlighting an invention to use worms to deal with human waste – innovation at its best. However a personal highlight was the presentation on an outstanding creation – Aid-Tech. This is a new app that will allow donors (both agencies and individuals) to track their donations in realtime – a way to see where funds are going, who is receiving the money and a transparent way of giving aid.
The afternoon kicked off with Dr Allyson Lawless, managing director of the South African Institute of Civil Engineering, focusing on the importance of training graduates. Too often graduates find themselves in a position where they are unable to get a job due to lack of experience, but running parallel to that are companies who are unable to find experienced staff – it is clear that a connection between the two is needed. Professor Lee, president of Adama University, Ethiopia, followed with a presentation on the emphasis that that country is placing on engineering, with the government viewing engineering as a method to boost the economy and increase the nations GDP. The final speaker of the session, Yassmin Abdel-Magied, the founder of Youth Without Borders, spoke of her experiences as a mechanical engineer and her current position as a driller on an oil rig. Her talk centred on the unconscious bias that can develop in the world of engineering, and several studies that demonstrate inherent unconscious bias.
The afternoon finished with a talk from Malaysian minister without portfolio Dato' Sri Idris Jala, a video address from Bill Gates, and a final panel discussion with some of the day's speakers. Overall the day was an array of fascinating sessions, thought-provoking topics and lively discussion that highlighted the importance of engineering and STEM in a variety of contexts and countries.

Too posh to flush
SERVANTS: A DOWNSTAIRS VIEW OF TWENTIETH-CENTURY BRITAIN BY LUCY LETHBRIDGE (Bloomsbury £20)
The other day I had a brilliant idea for a film, and thought about telling Julian Fellowes to get cracking on it - the story of Queen Mary in lonely exile at Badminton during the war.
This is where she sat out the bombs, planned what to do if Hitler invaded, sailed around Gloucestershire in a Daimler giving lifts to servicemen whether they wanted a lift or not, organised the removal of ivy from outbuildings, ivy having secretly been draped there first, and was looked after by 75 servants.
If Her Majesty wanted to go to the lavatory, dozens of staff sprang to attention, all the way down to a maid who held out the hand towel. When Queen Mary returned to London after five years away, it took three days to fill lorries with her luggage.
Imperious: Queen Mary had 75 servants
I imagined that the tone would be genteel comedy - a Bafta-winning vehicle for Maggie Smith, Vanessa Redgrave or Joan Plowright being loveably imperious. Having now read Lucy Lethbridge's Servants, however, I've changed my mind. Such was the egotism and capricious arrogance of the wealthy, who never 'thanked, or addressed, or acknowledged' their exhausted underlings, any upstairs-downstairs saga deserves to be treated to more of Les Miserables' barricades, not Downton Abbey's mythical cricket matches, which is all we ever get.
At least Queen Mary only had 75 servants. The Duke of Devonshire had 200 at Chatsworth. What's amusing and horrifying in equal measure is how these people who were waited on didn't do anything for themselves, ever.
'Ladies had nothing to do all day but lie on a sofa and read novels,' we are told.
They couldn't dress without valets and maids wielding pins and button hooks. They didn't drive - and there had to be separate cars for the suitcases.They didn't open doors, which were operated by footmen wearing white gloves and white powdered wigs. (The powder made their hair fall out in clumps.) They never cooked, shopped for their own provisions, or cleaned up afterwards.
And, of course, they never worked, as to earn one's living was vulgar. Not only was 'the spectacle of manual labour' abhorrent, but even doctors and lawyers were looked down upon and seldom received socially.
Well-connected army officers and the higher clergy were permitted to dine, but anyone linked with 'the arts, the stage, trade or commerce, could not be asked to the house at all'.
8: The age at which a girl could enter service in Victorian times
Toffs existed in a state of eccentric paralysis. Lord Curzon was so clueless about how a window opened, he 'picked up a log from the grate and smashed the glass'. Yolks had to be positioned in the middle of an egg white, and would be sent back if not perfect. The Duke of Kent's potatoes 'had to be exactly the same size'. Ladies changed attire three times a day, so 'laundering was a continuous operation'.
At Blenheim, there were 17 different choices for each course at dinner. A decree went out that 'her Ladyship can't sleep with creases on a pillowcase'. Waldorf Astor would only drink milk from his personal cow, which travelled everywhere with him.
These whims were carried out by the poor wretches at the other end of the scale, who lived under the eaves in cubicles 'either freezing cold or oppressively hot'.
In 1900, there were four million maids in British households, often recruited from orphanages or Wales. A cook earned £10 a year, a parlour maid £5.
200 servants: Chatsworth House
In addition to lighting the fires, cleaning the ranges, filling the coal scuttles, scrubbing the steps, and scouring copper pans with carbolic soap, a maid had to iron the newspapers and shoe laces and 'wash her employer's loose change'.
Kitchens, 'a breeding ground of rising damp, stinking drains, smoking stoves, black beetles and ants', were always situated at an inconvenient distance from the dining room, along 'a mazy network of stairs, doorways and passages'. Unless employed by Lady Londesborough, who 'made it a rule never to speak to her servants directly', and who thus must have instilled the gift of telepathy in her retinue, servants were summoned by bells from their 'warren of sculleries, wash-houses, pantries and larders'.
They had to know how to arrange 'in a very particular way' the celery goblets, cucumber trays, custard glasses, pickle forks and silver knick-knacks on the starched linen table cloths.
A light luncheon might consist of turbot with lobster sauce, a haunch of venison, cake and jelly with fruit. There was a 'terrible waste of lovely food' - at a time when ordinary folk had rickets and lived on bread and potatoes.
Unlike the real world: Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie as Jeeves and Wooster
Frozen or tinned food was taboo. There was also a prejudice against electricity, central heating and hot water pipes.
'Human effort was considered vastly preferable to modern amenities', which only 'encouraged idleness', it was believed. There were four people at Belvoir Castle whose sole job was to maintain the oil lamps and check the candles.
Servants were compelled to look drab and 'never to dress out of your station'. They were not encouraged to read books, become interested in music or culture, or to be educated. Butlers had to be occupationally 'ponderous, solemn, cautiously avuncular', and marriage was not recommended. Through a combination of loneliness, frustration and access to the cellar, many became alcoholics.
There was no pension provision for retirement. Until the National Insurance Act of 1915, which Conservatives bitterly opposed, accidents and illness meant dismissal. 'They don't like ill people', a former servant recalled. 'You haven't got to be ill, not ever.'
It is not often that one thanks heaven for World War I, but at least it brought about the beginning of the end of all this subservience. As Lethbridge says, 'women were mobilising themselves into a formidable force for change,' as they found employment in munitions factories, as bus conductresses, drivers, canteen organisers and nurses. It was 'like being let out of a cage,' one of them said.
With the men at the Front, mansions were shut up, 'the staterooms shrouded in dust sheets and the once-immaculate gardens given over to weeds'. Grand houses not donated to the National Trust or demolished became schools, museums, hospitals or 'homes for the weak-minded'.
Upstairs, downstairs: Country house staff, as depicted in The Edwardian Country House
The 'vast abyss between gentry and servants' gradually closed, until even 'organists, curates and sanitary inspectors' had domestic help. My own great-grandfather, a butcher in Bedwas, Wales, employed a maid-of-all-work. Known as Aunty Dolly, she survived into my own childhood, hobbling on sticks and living in a grace-and-favour lean-to next to the slaughterhouse. She had an outside lavvy. I threw stones at the door when she was inside. I bet that never happened to Queen Mary.
By 1945, however, P.G. Wodehouse was lamenting, 'What the devil does one write about these days, if one is a specialist in country houses and butlers, both of whom have ceased to exist?'
The answer, with Jeeves and Wooster, as with Lord Fellowes, was to whip up a fantasy saga about ceremony and tradition, to ignore the genuine iniquities, and to pretend that masters and servants represented 'a microcosm of the natural and social order' - when, as this book movingly shows, in actuality that order was harsh, snobbish, spiteful, and doomed.

After installing your Oracle software and database, you have a fully functional database with a client/server network environment that has been minimally configured.
This chapter contains the following topics to help you completely configure your client/server network:
A client is any application that connects to the Oracle database to send or retrieve data. An Oracle client application can reside on any machine provided it has Oracle client software installed.
Oracle Net is a software component that resides on the client and on the Oracle database server. It establishes and maintains the connection between the client application and the server, and exchanges messages between them using industry standard protocols.
For the client application and a database to communicate, the client application must specify location details for the database it wants to connect to, and the database must provide some sort of identification or address.
See Also:Oracle Database Net Services Administrator's Guide for more guidance in understanding Net Services and for more configuration details.
On the database server, the Oracle Net listener, commonly known as the listener, is a process that listens for client connection requests. The default listener configuration file is called
listener.ora, and it is located in the
/network/admin directory. The file contains a protocol address that identifies the database. This address defines the protocol the listener is listen on and any other protocol specific information. For example, the listener could be configured to listen at the following protocol address:
(DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=my-server) (PORT=1521)))
This example shows a TCP/IP protocol address that specifies the host machine of the listener and a port number.
listener.ora file is automatically configured during installation, but can be configured with Enterprise Manager. For more information, see "Viewing Listener Configuration" and "Starting and Shutting Down the Listener" .
When a client requests a connection, the listener on the server brokers the request and forwards it to the Oracle database.
The client uses a connect descriptor to specify the database it wants to connect to. This connect descriptor contains a protocol and a database service name. A database can have multiple services defined, so a specific service must be specified for the connection. In a preconfigured database, there is only one service, the name of which defaults to the global database name.
The following example shows a connect descriptor that enables clients to connect to a database service called
(DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=my-server) PORT=1521)) (CONNECT_DATA= (SERVICE_NAME=mydb.us.acme.com)))
You can define your connect descriptors in your
tnsnames.ora file on the client machine, located in the
/network/admin directory. You can use Oracle Net Manager to configure this file as described in "Configuring Oracle Networking on Client Machines" .
Users initiate a connection request by providing a connect string. A connect string includes a username and password, and a connect identifier. This connect identifier can be the connect descriptor itself, or a name that resolves to the connect descriptor. One of the most common connect identifiers is a net service name, a simple name for a service. The following example shows a connect string that uses the net service name
mydb as the connect identifier.
CONNECT hr/hr@mydb
While the connect identifier shown here is relatively simple, others can be long and inconvenient to use if your environment configuration is more complex. With long connect identifiers, you can map the net service name to the connect descriptor. This mapping information is stored in one or more repositories of information that are accessed with naming methods.
Oracle Net provides support for the following naming methods:
The preconfigured database uses local naming. Only this form of naming is used in this book.
The local naming method stores connect descriptors, identified by their net service name, in a configuration file on the client named
tnsnames.ora. This file is located in the
/network/admin directory.
The directory naming method stores connect identifiers in a centralized, LDAP-compliant directory server.
The easy connect naming method enables clients to connect to an Oracle database server by using only a TCP/IP connect string consisting of a host name and optional port and service name:
CONNECT username/password@host[:port][/service_name]
For example:
CONNECT hr/hr@my-server:1521/mydb
The easy connect naming method requires no configuration.
Oracle enables you to manage your network configuration with the following tools: Oracle Net Configuration Assistant, Enterprise Manager, and Oracle Net Manager.
The Oracle Universal Installer launches Oracle Net Configuration Assistant after the database is installed. Use Oracle Net Configuration Assistant to configure the listening protocol address and service information for an Oracle database.
During a typical database install, Oracle Net Configuration Assistant automatically configures a listener called
LISTENER that has a TCP/IP listening protocol address for the database. If you do a custom install, Oracle Net Configuration Assistant prompts you to configure a listener name and protocol address of your choice.
Use Oracle Net Configuration Assistant for initial network configuration after database installation. Thereafter, you can use the Oracle Enterprise Manager and Oracle Net Manager to configure and administer your networks.
Enterprise Manager enables you to manage your server-side network configuration with two pages: the Listener page and the Net Services Administration page.
The Listener page displays the listener status and enables you to shut it down. You can navigate to this page from the Home page by clicking the Listener link under General. See "Viewing Listener Configuration" in this chapter.
You can navigate to the Net Services page from the Home page by clicking Listener under General. The Listener page appears. Under Related Links, click Net Services Administration.
The Net Services Administration page enables you to do the following:
Perform the following administrative tasks for a selected listener:
Show current status
Change status (start/stop listener)
Change tracing settings
Change logging settings
Configure the following:
Local naming (
tnsnames.ora files) on the machine running the database
Directory naming
Search and sort local and directory naming entries
Export directory naming entries to
tnsnames.ora file
You can access Oracle Net Manager from the command line or for Windows platforms through the Start menu.
For command line (UNIX, Linux, or Windows) run
On Windows click the Start button and select Programs, Oracle - oracle_home, Configuration and Migration Tools, and then Net Manager
Oracle Net Manager provides the same features as Oracle Enterprise Manager with the addition of configuring profiles. To learn how to use this tool, see "Configuring Oracle Networking on Client Machines".
The listener runs on your database server machine and brokers incoming client requests. With Enterprise Manager, you can view the status of the listener, which is set to start automatically whenever your server machine is restarted.
To view the status of the listener, navigate to the Enterprise Manager home page. Under General, click Listener. The Listener: listener_name page appears. Under General, note the listener status, which is either Up or Down.
This page also gives the listener version, its net address, and start time.
You can additionally view the listener status at the command line using the following:
lsnrctl status
The Oracle listener is set up to start automatically whenever your server machine is restarted. However, when your system encounters unforeseen circumstances, or when you have manually stopped the listener, you can restart it at the command line. To do so, use the following:
lsnrctl start
You can use Enterprise Manager to stop the listener. To do so, navigate to the Listener: listener_name page by clicking Listener on the Home page. To shut down the listener, click Stop.
You can also stop it at the command line using the following:
lsnrctl stop
Client machines need to be configured before they can connect to an Oracle database. To configure the client machine, you must first install Oracle client software, which includes Oracle Net software.
This example shows you how to configure a Windows client with local naming, which involves adding a connect descriptor entry to the local
tnsnames.ora file. The connect descriptor specifies the host name, protocol address, and service name of the database to connect to.
On Windows, you can use the Oracle Net Manager program to create a new net service entry in your
tsnames.ora file as follows:
Start Oracle Net Manager by clicking the Start button and then selecting Programs, Oracle, Configuration and Migration Tools, and Net Manager.
From the Local tree, select Service Naming and click the plus (+) on the left hand side of the page.
The Net Service Name Wizard appears.
Enter a net service name to identify it. The name you choose will appear under the Service Naming folder. Click Next.
Select the protocol to use to connect to your database. For example, you can accept the default of TCP/IP (Internet Protocol). The database listener must be configured to use the same network protocol. Click Next.
Enter the host name of the database machine, such as
coconuts.island.com, and the port number. Click Next.
Enter either the database service name or the database SID. In the Connection Type list, select either Shared Server, Dedicated Server, or Database Default. Shared connections require your database to be running in shared mode. If you choose Dedicated, then the database dedicates a single server process to serve your connection. If you are unsure or would like to use the default database connection type, select Database Default. Click Next.
The last screen of the wizard enables you to test the connection by using the information you entered. To do so, click Test. To log in to the database, you can use the
SYS user and the password you specified when you configured your database. The wizard tells you if the connection test succeed or not.
Click Finish. The new service appears under the Service Naming folder. You can view or modify the configuration for the highlighted service in the Service Identification and Address Configuration sections.
Note that you can additionally run Oracle Net Manager from the command line using
netmgr on Windows, Linux, and Unix platforms.

There are lots of differences. For example there is no VARCHAR data type in Oracle, you'll have to use VARCHAR2 instead. Using user defined functions is basically the same.
The big difference is that SQL Server using T/SQL and Oracle uses PL/SQL as the programming language. All the code within the procedure will need to be changed from T/SQL to PL/SQL. Kevin Kline has a good out which shows a lot of the differences between the two.
use the Oracle Golden Gate
First you need a copy of Oracle GoldenGate v11 for SQL Server. You can download it from http://edelivery.oracle.com (Oracle Fusion Middleware → Microsoft Windows x32 → Oracle GoldenGate for Non Oracle Database v11). The serial number of the media pack that you need is V22241-01.
you can consult
just follow the instructions, and you will have all your database and functions translated to Oracle.

Sugar and Spice and feelings so nice!All in all, I did find the Sugar to be an enjoyable, less expensive alternative. It has just enough power to do the job right. I would not say that it left me totally speechless, but it did provide what it was intended to. So, I was not disappointed.
Multiple speeds and the light weight make this enjoyable. Also, the unit is soft and bendable.
Could use more power as well as longer insertible length.
I think the best use for this was actually the clitoral stimulation! The soft feel along with the powerful multi-speed motor sends waves of pleasure, and coupled with the bendability of this unit, you are really able to take charge of where it goes. I think this toys is really good for anyone, from beginner on up. It's powerful and functional to meet everyone's needs. I think this toy can be used on any occasion, and it's great when you alone and just need to be pleased. However, my boyfriend loves using this on me as well. I think it would make an amazing addition to any couple's sex life!
Material / Texture
The materials used on this unit are amazing. They were soft to the touch and very bendable, which added to the extra stimulation. It's Latex-free as well as Phthalates-free, and just felt amazing while using. I would recommend this to beginners, however, it is an inexpensive and great toy for the more advanced users as well.
Design / Shape / Size
The sugar is a smaller unit which fits in the palm of your hand. The total length of the sugar is 6 3/4" and it has a circumference which is smaller than average at 4 1/2". The clitorial stimulator is not animal shaped and was very smooth to the touch. With the insertable length of this unit being only 4", I think this is still a better unit for beginners. However, it can still be an amazing treat for advanced users also. This unit has a diameter of 1 3/8", and weighs in at only 13 oz. This toy is very easy to hide as well, and I would highly recommend this unit for traveling.
Functions / Performance / Controls
I loved the Sugar. The vibrations were located toward the top, which made for effortless stimulation. I found using it to be an enjoyable experience. I think the best function of the Sugar is 3 speed motor, which was oh-so quiet. I was not a fan of the 4" insertable length- it was just not enough to give you that extra wow. As for sugar's controls, the button is located on the very bottom and it took just one push to turn the unit on as well as toggle between speeds. It's unbelievable just how quiet this toy really is when on low speed. It does get louder as you increase speed, but is still quieter than most units. The unit was amazing in the shower, as it is completely waterproof. It performed like a champ!
Care and Maintenance
Since the Sugar is made of TPR, you can clean it easily with antibacterial toy cleaner or soap and water. Dishwashing or boiling is definitely not recommended for this unit. And I would definitely not recommend using silicone lubricants on this unit. One of the best tips I can give anyone who is using a vibe is to never leave the batteries in while not in use
This unit comes in a really neat tin and has a clear lid so you can see what is inside. I recommend when storing this unit that you do so in the tin, which will keep the Sugar clean and sanitary.

Thanks for the review. While I love the color, it does look a little short and I wish it was a little stronger in the vibe department! Glad you like it!!
Nice review! Thanks!
I like short! But I need 4 vrooms wishlisted anyway thanx

This post will be quite different to my usual routine but I feel like need to address it and get it out of my chest. Quite recently I have heard the comment about myself and my shopping habits. It was not anything nasty or unpleasant but it made me reflect and I think it is good time to share it with you !
I started my blog and social media journey in order to share and maybe inspire, never to show off. I never buy anything just to take a picture and then give it away or sell… I have been interested in fashion in particular for as long as I can remember. When I was growing up, wanting or pursuing job in fashion industry would be considered risky or irresponsible to say the least. As a result, I have chosen a different career which as much as I love, it does not satisfy all my ambitions.
I do my weekly outfits post to show you guys, how I dress, what I like to wear and where I am investing in. I hope that checking my blog, Instagram account and YouTube channel will spark the joy within you, make you smile and maybe inspire to try something new or different that you have not tried before.
I like my closet big in order to allow me to shop around in my own wardrobe. I love recycling and looking after my belongings. Some items you will see over and over again here as they are true staples in my mind.
Coming out of my comfort zone is something I like to try from time to time in order to experiment and push the boundaries if that makes any sense.
So, I would love to hear from you… Do you find fashion blogs and Instagram accounts useful and enjoyable or self-centred and pushy ?
As I am trying to start a discussion, I am allowing all the comments without the need to leave your email address and all the usual details that are sometimes too time consuming to be bothered !
What do you think ?

Collaborative Project Support
Grant Inclusion and Longterm Project Support
The CCTS encourages the development of collaborative research arrangements between investigators and our research cores. Through these longterm collaborations, our diverse service cores and research specialists can provide substantial contributions to translational research inquiries and the development of innovative scientific approaches.
All requests for a CCTS consultant, coordinator or core director to be written into a grant, or to provide long-term/large-scale service support, require a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the CCTS. Unlike a university contract or Proposal Approval Form (PAF), a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between a project PI and the CCTS is an agreement to support a specific aspect of a research project. The document details the project's timeframe, scope of work, PI and consultant responsibilities, and effort commitment.
The CCTS uses MOUs to:
- clearly define the scope of work and responsibilities associated with long-term or large-scale service support for internal and external clients
- maintain a centralized record of MOU-related projects for administrative, UIC and NIH reporting
- track our core and/or individual consultants' current and projected effort, as well as maintain compliance with UIC effort reporting policies
CCTS MOU Policies & Procedures
- MOUs may or may not have an associated budget. PIs should discuss their unique project needs with the service core or research consultant.
- A minimum of 5% effort is required to write a consultant into a grant. For effort of 10% or more, Facilities and Administrative (F&A) rates must be included.
- The MOU must be reviewed by three groups of people to be considered "approved": the PI, the Core Director, and CCTS Administration.
- MOUs that fail to meet the approval requirements will be considered void. These projects may be subject to hourly charges for work that was done in preparation for the grant application.
- Upon confirmation of funding (if applicable), MOUs will be considered active, and a fully executed MOU will be generated for the PI and Core's records.
- CCTS Administration will not grant final MOU approval for projects associated with a grant application without a PAF signed by the PI and one of the CCTS PIs.
- MOUs will be reviewed annually based on the project timeline. Project effort may be adjusted as needed.
Letters of Support
Grant proposals can be strengthened by a letter of support detailing relevant CCTS resources and services. While a letter of support can describe the general research environment at UIC, they are not a guarantee of the availability of specific services for your particular project. If you anticipate using specific CCTS service(s) to execute your research project, please contact the CCTS Navigator so that a specific plan can be developed for your project. Please note that the time required to develop this plan may vary based on the complexity of your project.
The CCTS uses the Service Request system to process letters of support. The Research Navigator will forward your request to the appropriate point person who will create or approve your letter of support. Investigators may send a draft letter if they have created one.
Please allow seven business days for letter processing. A PDF of your signed letter on CCTS letterhead will be emailed to the person you specify.
We are pleased to be able to support projects in this way, and look forward to opportunities to work together in the future!

David Miliband four-letter abuse from Russian foreign minister
I have been told of an astonishing telephone conversation between David Miliband and his Russian counterpart, Sergi Lavrov in which the Foreign Secretary had to endure a four-letter word tirade.
David Miliband was reportedly give short shrift by Sergi Lavrov
Mr Miliband spoke to the Russian foreign minister - a veteran not known for diplomatic niceties - to express British unease at events in Georgia. It seems Mr Lavrov didn't like being lectured by young Miliband.
Such was the repeated use of the "F word" according to one insider who has seen the transcript, it was difficult to draft a readable note of the conversation.
One unconfirmed report suggested that Mr Lavrov said: "Who are you to f------ lecture me?"
He also asked Mr Miliband in equally blunt terms whether he knew anything of Russia's history?
One Whitehall insider told me: "It was effing this and effing that. It was not what you would call diplomatic language. It was rather shocking."
The Foreign Secretary had been putting forward Britain and Europe's objections to the actions of Russian which began when their tanks rolled into the breakaway region of South Ossetia last month. Mr Miliband has said that Europe should reassess its ties with Russia after its "aggressive" behaviour.
It is also understood that Mr Miliband was asked about Britain and America's invasion of Iraq, when Russian actions in Georgia were questioned, during the tense conversation that took place recently.
Sources at the Foreign Office confirmed there was swearing "but only from side". A spokesman for the Foreign Secretary said: "We do not discuss diplomatic conversations between foreign ministers."
Mr Lavrov, who was promoted under Vladimir Putin, has developed a reputation as the fearsome face of Russia's new aggressive foreign policy. When he held the position as Russia's man at the United Nations in New York he developed a reputation as fierce critic of other nations.
But Mr Miliband is unlikely to have experienced anything quite so bruising in his year as Foreign Secretary than being told some home truths by a grizzled veteran of the international scene. Even the slap down from MPs supporting Mr Brown after the Foreign Secretary's "leadership bid" article in July when he was accused of treachery, was not as bad.
Mr Lavrov has been highly critical of the way that the Russian move into Georgia has been portrayed by the West. He has criticised what he described as a "truly David and Goliath interpretation" of the conflict in which "the plucky republic of Georgia, with just a few million citizens, was attacked by its giant eastern neighbour".
After that sort of bawling out anything Gordon Brown and his allies can muster in response to Miliband's leadership ambitions is likely to be small beer.

We opened for the season last Friday and the Mountain Operations and Patrol teams have been working very quickly to get more terrain open over the past week. With over 50" of snow on the season, the mountain is in a good place to continue terrain expansions over the coming weeks leading up to the holidays. The Telluride Terrain Park Crew opened the Lower Hoot Brown Terrain Park on Wednesday, offering intermediate jumps, rails, and other features for park skiers and riders.
This Saturday, December 10th, we will open Polar Queen Express (Lift 5) with access to limited trails from the top including Stormin' Norman, Ophir Loop and more. This opening allows skiers to both ski terrain off of Lift 5 while also allowing access to Apex Lift (Lift 6) which will also open this weekend. These two openings will complete the 4-5-6 Loop with the opening of See Forever as a run to return to Mountain Village or the Gondola.
In addition, The Meadows will open for the season giving beginners access to a significant amount of expanded terrain for skiing from the top of Mountain Village Express (Lift 4) to the bottom of the Chondola (Lift 1) via Village Bypass and The Meadows.
With snow in the forecast and the holidays approaching, the Mountain Operations and Patrol teams will conclude efforts to open this weekend's terrain at which point they will shift their focus to the front side of the mountain for ski-to-town access as well as the Sunshine Express (Lift 10) area. For the most up-to-date terrain openings, sign up for our Snow Report emails, bookmark our Snow Report page , or call the Snow Report Hotline at (970) 728-7425.

If enacted, the 'stop abortion' bill would outlaw terminations carried out because of a congenital disorder of the foetus
The Guardian
The Polish parliament has rejected proposed legislation to liberalise abortion laws, voting instead to pass proposals for tough new restrictions to a parliamentary committee for further scrutiny.
Poland already has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in Europe, with terminations permitted only when the life of the foetus is under threat, when there is a grave threat to the health of the mother, or if the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest.
If enacted, the "stop abortion" bill – a so-called citizens' initiative proposed by hardline conservative groups – would outlaw abortions carried out because of a congenital disorder of the foetus . . . [Full Text]

Cisco, Microsoft unveil NAC/NAP interoperability
Nearly two years into their partnership, Cisco and Microsoft yesterday announced a joint architecture combining their network access security solutions.
After nearly two years and a lot of suspected smoke-and-mirrors, Cisco Systems and Microsoft yesterday revealed a joint architecture that pairs each of the tech giants' network access security solutions.
At yesterday's Security Standard conference in Boston, executives outlined the interoperability between Cisco's Network Admission Control (NAC) and Microsoft's Network Access Protection (NAP), making good on a partnership that was announced in October 2004.
A newly released downloadable white paper details how both NAC and NAP will work together for security policy enforcement and health assessment as part of a single architecture. The paper also details how to embed Cisco's network infrastructure with Microsoft's Windows Vista desktop operating system and future versions of the OS server called Longhorn.
The two powerhouse vendors also released a roadmap for bringing the NAC and NAP combination to market, with beta programs scheduled for later this year. Once Longhorn becomes available in late 2007, users will be able to deploy the Cisco/Microsoft solution. As part of the pairing, Cisco and Microsoft have cross-licensed their NAC and NAP protocols to ensure interoperability.
Yankee Group vice president Zeus Kerravala said the long-expected pairing gives users flexibility in their network access choices. Since Microsoft NAP will be desktop focused and Cisco NAC is network focused, there will be no need for a string of smaller in-line appliances to achieve comprehensive network access control. Users can keep their Cisco NAC infrastructure and add in Microsoft NAP later on.
"You'd be hard pressed to find an enterprise that doesn't have both Cisco and Microsoft products," Kerravala said.
The pairing also eliminates the need for a large company to select one vendor's technology over the other.
"A user shouldn't have to choose," he said. "If they want to deploy Cisco NAC now, they can [do so knowing] that when Microsoft NAP is released, they'll interoperate. Before, you might have held out and waited before deploying."
Andrew Braunberg, analyst with Current Analysis, said the interoperability, while still early in the offing, appears to be beneficial for both Cisco and Microsoft shops, and it creates a single-client architecture, making it simpler for network administrators who manage the agents.
"It eases a little anxiety for users who are trying to align their NAC strategy," he said. "Going forward, Cisco can say, 'Look, you can go ahead and deploy this stuff and NAP will be compatible.'"
Cisco has been on the forefront of network access technology and has already developed and shipped NAC products, which use a software agent to collect information in Cisco's RADIUS server and send it to Cisco's secure Access Control Server (ACS). The ACS checks with a policy server and determines whether devices comply with set security policies. If the device is not up to snuff, it can be quarantined or necessary security updates can be pushed out.
Microsoft announced its plans for NAP in mid-2004 and has yet to follow through until now. Microsoft NAP is said to work with the Windows Vista OS and the Longhorn server, set to be released in late 2007. NAP works by passing data to Microsoft's Network Policy Server, which then checks with a policy server to ensure device hygiene.
According to a joint announcement by both vendors, each will continue to deliver individual NAC and NAP solutions, while allowing users to choose the interoperable solution from both companies.

Shake it up: Greensboro City Council Elections Getting Interesting – Early
Although the Greensboro City Council elections are nine months away, 2017 looks like it might be the year of the shake-up. After the last election, when every incumbent was reelected, new groups and candidates are organizing—early this time—a sign of dissatisfaction with the current council and of serious intentions to make some changes. Several candidates are ready to run and new groups are on the scene.
Democracy Greensboro
Democracy Greensboro informally began last fall with a handful of people at the Glenwood Bookstore. The group has now officially filed as a political action committee and is holding public meetings throughout the city every other week to gather ideas and expand its reach. Its last meeting in northeast Greensboro was attended by over 50 people.
With an unapologetic orientation towards progressive issues, the group has among its goals to elect a city council that will govern on behalf of "all people" with "greater transparency and honesty in all areas of government," according to its platform.
John Brown
John Brown is ready to shake things up in his run for mayor. The 55 year-old entrepreneur is co-owner of Jessup Services Company in Greensboro, a plumbing, electrical, heating and air company. Brown holds 9 state professional licenses and is the inventor of a device that autonomously mows grass along highway guard rails 24 hours a day. He is high energy, full of ideas and eager to take a hands-on approach to the job of mayor. He says he wants to be "the voice of the taxpayer."
Brown says economic development efforts are focused too much on the region and not enough on Greensboro itself. He wants to give preference to Greensboro companies on city contracts. He also wants to sit down with established local companies, find out who their suppliers are and then recruit those companies to Greensboro. He sees such an active approach as the job of the mayor.
Brown says he'd take an active role in other issues too. He says disparities in minority hiring for city contracts are less about race and more about a good ol' boy network which he says he has experienced first hand. He says contractors try to help their buddies get work on projects even if they have promised to hire minority subcontractors. Brown says he would address this as mayor by personally making unannounced visits to city-funded projects to see if promised minority participation is actually happening.
Eric Fink
Eric Fink is a law professor at Elon University. He says he is "leaning strongly towards running" for an at-large seat. He too thinks the city could do better at economic development. He says it's good to see projects downtown but that those are happening at the "near exclusion" of the other parts of the city. He would like to see the city do more to support smaller projects in other areas of the city. Those, he says, "can have a real impact on people's lives." He cites projects like the new co-op grocery store in east Greensboro which he helped shepherd to fruition.
Fink would also like to see Greensboro band together with other cities to stand up to the state legislature as they try to usurp local control from cities. That is a view shared by another likely candidate, Gary Kenton.
Gary Kenton
Kenton is a communication scholar who says he is "putting himself at the service of Democracy Greensboro" and that he will run, most likely in district four, possibly at-large, if he gets the group's endorsement. Kenton says "there is a movement afoot in Greensboro that is demanding more forward-thinking and transparent action."
Kenton says a council person cannot be effective if all they have is an agenda. "You have to be able to work with people," he says. At the same time, he says, "You sometime have to take a stand on principle," and there he thinks the current council falls short. He cites council's unwillingness to stand up to the state legislature's actions targeting North Carolina cities as an example. "The current council has failed to provide the leadership that is called for," he says.
On economic development, Kenton says businesses are encumbered by needless red tape. If elected, he would look to streamline doing business in the city.
GSO Operation Transparency
Lamar Gibson is a fundraiser for a non-profit organization and a member of the new group GSO Operation Transparency. He too thinks the current city council has come up short on leadership. GSO Operation Transparency recently staged a sit-in at city hall in an attempt to get the city council to release details of an internal investigation into an incident of police misconduct. Council refused.
Gibson says GSO Operation Transparency hasn't made any decisions yet on upcoming elections, but as he sees it, efforts to address accountability and ethics in Greensboro have been confined to advocacy and moral appeals that are not always effective. He says, "Direct action has been missing."
It won't be surprising then to see GSO Operation Transparency become active in the upcoming elections. Gibson says, "Incumbents have allowed the gears to keep grinding in a way that is not working for a lot of people and if they keep allowing that, they might feel the consequences in an election in a way they have not felt before."
Transparency a Big Issue
Increased transparency is a big issue for Brown, Kenton and Fink. City staff routinely flout the law in obstructing access to government documents and city council allows it. Although Brown, Fink and Kenton agree that more transparency is needed, they each come to that conclusion from different angles.
Kenton's concern is primarily related to transparency into the police who, he says, because they act on our behalf, must be accountable to us. Without transparency, there is no accountability, he says. He supports the idea of a citizen police review board with subpoena power.
Fink supports that idea too, but, as one might expect from a law professor, he sees a larger reason for government transparency—as a pillar of democracy. He is troubled by what he calls a "pattern of decisions being made behind a veil—a reluctance to make clear who is involved in decisions and who is influencing those decisions." He says, "Transparency is the only way to see if everybody is being treated fairly" and, if elected, he says he will push to remove barriers to transparency.
Brown too is big on transparency. For him, it's a pragmatic necessity for citizens to understand what their government is doing and expose unwarranted secrecy. He cites an example where he had to fight bureaucratic red tape to learn that the city engages in a practice whereby taxpayers are lead to believe funds are being allocated to fire and police, but which really is a scheme to cycle money back into into the general fund for other purposes.
Deception and Malfeasance
Brown explains what he says he discovered like this: He says the city buys vehicles it then "leases" to the police and fire departments at a rate above their cost. He says the police pay $92,000 into the general fund to lease a patrol car for five years. In this way, according to Brown, the public is deceived: Taxpayers are told money is being spent on public safety, but it is being passed through public safety budgets in the form of excessive vehicle charges collected from the police and fire departments only to be shunted to other expenditures, says Brown.
The upward spiraling cost of the downtown Performing Arts Center is another area where Brown thinks the public was misled. In addition to the escalating cost of the center itself, Brown finds it dishonest that concerns about parking were waived off as unimportant when the center was being debated and, now that we are committed, the city says it needs $30 million for a new parking deck next to the center. It was a "bait and switch," Brown says of the project that was initially described as costing $55 million and is now over $108 million counting the new parking deck.
If Brown has a blind spot, it may be to the diversity that is Greensboro. He responded to a question about greater police accountability by saying, "There's a few that don't like rules and regulations. 10 to 15 at city council meetings that are always screaming about something and will never be satisfied."
He also says he wants "to stand up for the hard working middle class that doesn't get a day off or have time to stand at a council meeting. These people are the backbone of Greensboro that pull the wagon."
Voters could find Brown's energy, critical eye and attention to detail appealing. Let's hope they don't also come with an incomplete understanding of the varied interests of Greensboro's residents.
Good for Greensboro
Other candidates remain waiting in the wings. Although the biggest challenge for them may be name recognition, they asked to remain unnamed for now. Should they run, they will bring greater gender and racial diversity to the pool of candidates.
Last year, voters approved changing city council terms from two to four years with this election. That's going to make it harder for the public to hold sway over council members. So this election is more important than ever. Early indications are that Greensboro will get to choose from a robust slate of qualified candidates. That's good.

Companies first ask if I have a Prime account—which means I can get free shipping. When I say yes and agree to review their product, I receive a coupon code for 100% off the price. I order the item as I normally do, use the code and get it 2 days later.
Thanks for the reply Tristan. That is a real comfort to me if the broken links are mistakes. I thought the Amazon would not public the emails for the reason that they don't want sellers to contact to the reviewers and they are takeing actions to those fake reviews.
Trust Review Network has some enticing offers on their homepage. You can buy valuable items like unlocked smartphones, laptops, and mini espresso machines for pennies on the dollar. In regards to the smartphones, the normal retail price is $179.99 and they can be purchased for $0.99.
Good reviews are an art form and the problem is that people write emotionally about products whether they are free or not. Currently, Amazon has no system in place for elevating the wheat from the chaff whether the review is of a free or paid product because such a system would require a subjective evaluation of content rather than scanning by using software algorithms.
Nancy is a writer and editor living in Washington DC. She was previously the Middle East editor at The Next Web and currently works at a DC-based think tank on communications and social media outreach.
Another problem in not having any control over who takes the coupons is that not all reviewers are sane people. My products are good. Less than 5% of the reviews have 3 stars. All the rest are 4 or 5 stars. But someone gave me a 2 star. When I looked at this person's other reviews, I saw that she habitually gives bad reviews to products that generally receive good reviews. She is obviously a disgruntled or maybe careless/thoughtless/jealous/nasty individual. Had I seen her track record I would never have approved her to receive my product.
We sometimes use affiliated links which may result in a payment following a visitor taking action (such as a purchase or registration) on an external website. This helps keep Save the Student free. The user experience shouldn't be any different, and our editorial decision making is not effected by such links.
I have been using promo codes to give out a good amount of product at the launch to drive of sales, and then following up with these emails that you mentioned, but today I received a review from someone and they added the ***I received this product at a discount in exchange for a review*** at the end of the review.
This brand-run super user program is for those of you interested in product testing lighting (rope lights, desk lights, LEDs, floodlights, flashlights/torches, curtain lights and more.) Available for product testers in USA, UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Canada, France, Spain, Japan.
There are no limits to how many deals you can claim each day after 2 pm EST. Each morning, you are only allowed to claim one deal to provide opportunities for other club members. Elite Deal Club sends out a daily email with 100-200 offers. Many people recommend Elite Deal Club for electronics and accessories including phone cases.
Karen, while it's true that sometimes beauty pageant winners who are current toolbelt divas DO purchase items on Amazon, it's a statistical improbability. Those items show up in Amazon's list because sellers of those items create pools of multiple fake accounts, and each fake account "purchases" and "reviews" the exact same items. A single, unique individual like yourself won't affect Amazon's rankings much in a statistically significant way.
Still, the problem remained: How could I make sure I wasn't caught stuck on an airplane again without a dongle for a pair of earbuds? After digging around further, I ended up settling on something a bit more mundane than buying a three-pack of dongles of dubious quality. My search led me to the (unfortunately named) Dongle Dangler, which lets me stick my Lightning dongle on my key chain.
On the one hand, I do have sellers that solicit me for product reviews, so I would be doing something that would also help their small businesses grow. Would I be discerning and not contact sellers that either sent me inferior products or sellers that I declined products from because their product seemed inferior? Or would I handle it from a perspective of more seller referrals may net more money for me and increased free/discounted products for me and the review community? On one hand, we are each responsible for deciding whether to perform due diligence prior to accepting to review a product. On the other hand, I may not want to encourage relationship building with sellers of inferior products as it may result in an (likely unwanted) increase emails from them asking me to review (likely more inferior) products?
As of May 6, users' product reviews will be displayed on all eligible listings. A listing is reviewable if it is adopted to a product or is a multi-quantity listing. Not all multi-quantity listings are eligible. Sellers are not required to take any action. For more information please read eBay's product review guidelines.
In reply to Janet above, I am one of those sellers whose promo codes keep giving reviewer the message "The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase." It seems to be an Amazon problem, and I as well as other seller am trying to get it resolved. Thank you so much for your honest reviews-it gives our business practical advice on where we need to improve. Thanks.
Avoid reviewing group promotional items under the group affiliate link they're using. If you review a promo under a group affiliate link, it's too easy to get tangled into a seller relationship block or wipe.
What I said was I wouldn't have paid full price *at the time*. After evaluating the product the risk factor is gone as I know what I'm getting, and I can assess how much I would actually pay for it then. In some cases this is really easy because I genuinely want another one right away, so if I am willing to buy it at their current price then I absolutely can fairly appraise it. If I like it but cannot say I'd buy it at full price, then I express as much in the review, and may adjust my score accordingly.
Dove Nutritive Solutions Daily Moisture is the best bet for anyone looking for a regular, everyday shampoo. Alterna Haircare Caviar will keep your color-treated hair looking vibrant between touch-ups.
The problem I have with Amazon and its reviews is this, I review for Amazon where I obtain items I would normally purchase but at a reduced price for my honest opinion. And my reviews are very honest, I have no issue in telling a company that their bvlah blah product is crap and this is why,,,
Note: It seems like they changed the rules and don't actually pay testers for the follow-up surveys. Thanks to Tonya, Taylor, Rebecca, and other readers who brought this to my attention. I was just reporting based on my personal experience a while back when they indeed used to send follow-up surveys and you'd be paid if you took those surveys.
Call up any established product at Adagio Teas, for example, and you'll see hundreds, if not thousands, of reviews. This is due in part to the fact that customers are rewarded five loyaltypoints for each review written.
Love to read your post here. As a Chinese reader from China, the words from your post are better than those official page provided by amazon for me. lol…. I haven`t selling on amazon yet(I own an individual online store: itead.cc), but it will come soon. Your post is helpful for me to sell my products on amazon in the future. But now, there is also exist one question in my brain, that is how to let reviewers write something for my online site. Because I also want to my site get more visitors. Could you help me with this? If your could tell me some sites or blog for products, I will much appreciated for your help. Many Thanks!
Hi,I agree with you,because I am a seller on amazon,I do not want to spent more money to get review like you say,my items are all in high quality,but,no review no orders,especially good review.I hope all reviewers review honestly,but…………..
As someone who frequents Slickdeals, a website that aggregates the daily online deals, I've witnessed myself and many others fall victim to the herd mentality. Many silly purchasing decisions have been made all because of a forum swarming with users saying, "in for 3, what a great deal!" or "unbelievable price on these, they'll sell out quickly." This results in unnecessary, even down-right useless purchases – an outcome that many on the site dub the SD affect. The truth is that we're programmed to act quite sheepish.
I don't think there is much you can do, Tracy. Keep in mind that when they do these product testing runs, they are looking for specifics demographic (basically their main consumers), so based on the info you provided, you may not be a good fit for any of their tests so far. That's why I recommend joining multiple sites so you can increase your odds.
We've already shared some great ways to make money, but this nifty guide will teach you everything you need to know about making money specifically from product testing. From assessing the benefits to finding the best (and legit) sites, we've got the essentials covered! Read on…
I think Amazon should take this review devaluing more seriously! And maybe a few rounds of region-based boycott's would help them take notice? Instead they dink around w/ taking or giving Prime Benefits or spin off more fee based memberships with new names! Aye! BTW, has anyone made a Hitler reaction video yet?
Stay alert about negative reviews that are published about your business. Automated email notification helps increase your respond time to customer complaints, so you are in a better position to resolve product issues.
Savvy shoppers almost never purchase a product without knowing how it's going to work for them. They read the good, the not-so-good, and the downright ugly to make the all-important decision: should I pull out my wallet and take the plunge?
It's funny that Amazon tried sue many websites for doing exactly this. You can still buy amazon reviews at sites like https://launchzon.com/ but I guess they gave up on lawsuits and are just trying to make an extra buck like this now. Way to go Amazon!
There are good ways to operate other than what is the "Amazon" way and what has been done for the last 20 years. Hire people who have different backgrounds and different opinions to enhance the culture and add diversity of thought.
We use these various revenue streams not only to support our staff, but also to purchase products for review, to outfit our offices with the best tools and equipment for testing – including the construction of our new 5,000-square-foot Purch Lab – and to continue to expand the number of products and services we rank and review.
For Amazon Resellers: First examine the issues the buyer had – can the problem be remedied? Consider offering refund or replacement. Buyers can remove feedback for up to 60 days after a review is posted, so there's usually a chance of redemption.
It could also provide more information about reviewers directly on the review page: You can currently click into some reviewers' pages and see what else they've reviewed — unsurprisingly, many people giving suspicious five-star ratings to cheap electronics tend to rate exactly two items as five stars and then never review anything again, or have many reviews, but choose to keep them all hidden. There are real privacy concerns here, but other services like Yelp and TripAdvisor have figured out ways to provide useful metrics about how much to trust an individual reviewer — these same metrics would only help a confused Amazon shopper.

MarkLogic NoSQL database evolves with the times
NoSQL stalwart MarkLogic's database has grown to include many SQL database-style features. Next up is JSON.
Amid a gust of new NoSQL database types -- key-value, graph-based, JSON-oriented or what have you -- it is possible to lose sight of established NoSQL software that stood as an alternative to SQL long before industry upstarts put a "No" in front of "SQL."
A noticeable example is MarkLogic. Since its inception in the early 2000s as an XML data repository, it has come to include SQL-like features and other traits, and now claims more than 425 customers, ranging from publishing houses like Condé Nast to airlines like United.
Like today's NoSQL, XML in its early days was sometimes touted as an SQL slayer. Despite considerable backing from no less than Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, XML and its related tools did not become too mainstream.
What did happen, however, is that XML found major use in the world of documents. Its ability to add meaning to documents through sophisticated encoding has helped it gain a place in government applications, content management, data integrations and other areas. MarkLogic has been at the front of the XML movement, to the point that it has outpaced all other NoSQL offerings in revenue, according to analyst group Wikibon's estimates.
"We think of MarkLogic as a document store. But 'document store' covers a lot of ground," said Joe Pasqua, senior vice president for product strategy at MarkLogic. "A document can be unstructured data, structured data or semistructured data," he said, pointing to the diversity of document approaches.
Customer requirements have led MarkLogic far beyond the basic XML roots that defined it at its inception, according to Pasqua. The MarkLogic software now has come to include integrated search, high security, geospatial querying and ACID transactions.
Founding fathers
XML support was key to the selection of MarkLogic for work on the Founders Online website, a collaborative effort of the National Archives and the University of Virginia Press that offers the public online access to the papers of early American leaders such as George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
The work grew out of earlier efforts, with this project placing special emphasis on interactive performance, according to David Sewell, editorial and technical manager at ROTUNDA, The University of Virginia Press.
Performance was newly crucial because the online website would open up these important historical papers to a wide public, not just historians and other academics. MarkLogic's integrated Web server helped with fast page rendering, according to Sewell. Meanwhile, MarkLogic XQuery development tools helped improve query performance over earlier XPath query methods.
"This will support much higher user load," he said, noting that each XML file -- at this point there are almost 150,000 documents -- includes both text and descriptive metadata.
"This could be in a relational database," said Sewall, "but for us it is easier to maintain the document format. That makes it easier to index, and to do so quickly." In the future, he said, the team would look to use MarkLogic's geospatial semantic search capabilities as well. Such capabilities are somewhat akin to those of graph databases, where relationships between documents can be creatively mapped, he said.
Tale of inclusion
In its tale of inclusion, the MarkLogic Enterprise NoSQL Database could point to evolution that newer NoSQL databases may undergo. Increasingly, they will add features that enhance the original "purpose-built" architecture.
What is next for MarkLogic's database? It is JSON support, said Joe Pasqua.
That is ironic in a way, because JSON began life as something of an alternative to XML. While XML found favor in document-centric processing, its reception in general programming was less favorable.
XML was seen as a verbose and overhead-laden format by many software developers working in Web applications. That created an opening for JSON.
So, MarkLogic's upcoming JSON support is really just part of a larger Web application trend. Continued growth of the JSON format has even led major SQL houses like IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and Teradata to support JSON data formats in their flagship databases.
JSON is at the heart of up-and-coming document-oriented NoSQL databases from players like MongoDB and Couchbase, as well. JSON support is due this fall with MarkLogic Version 8, Pasqua said.

Teresa Giudice 'Assaulted' in Bar Brawl, Says Attorney
A lawyer for the Real Housewives star says she acted in self-defense
Teresa Giudice and her Real Housewives of New Jersey costars have been accused of starting a bar brawl in court documents filed Monday. But an attorney for the reality star says the Feb. 23 incident in the Dominican Republic was an act of self-defense.
Adolfo Arreola and Jason Gomez claim in court papers that Teresa sprayed their party with champagne, then mocked Arreola's mother-in-law when the drink got in her eyes. They also allege that Joe Giudice and Albert, Chris and Albie Manzo attacked them "without provocation."
But an attorney for the Giudices tells a different story.
RELATED: Real Housewives of N.J. Stars Sued After Brawl at the Beach
"They acted in self defense," says Jim Kridel, an attorney for Teresa and Joe Giudice, saying that after the champagne incident, words were exchanged – and a member of the rival party physically assaulted Teresa.
"Teresa was hit and assaulted," says Kridel. "She is still in pain over this. This wasn't something that was minor." He adds that whatever his client may have said, "mere words are not provocation to hit someone. There's no justification for that."
Any resulting physical altercation with the plaintiffs, "was an act of self-defense," Kridel claims. "If someone threatens you, you can react with reasonable force. That's what my clients did."
Kridel also denies the allegation, in court papers, that the cast members brutally assaulted Arreola and Gomez.
"It's absolutely ridiculous that they were assaulted without provocation," he says. "These people are very litigious and they are looking for an opportunity to look into someone else's pocket."

Here is Mr Hedgehog, partially back stitched..he is so cute! Nimue designs are a bit tough with back stitch..its tedious so I do a bit at a time. As far as the stitching part goes, it moves along quickly. I use magnets and a magnet board to block off what area I want to work on and finish it before I move on to a new area. Soon I will go back to the top and start filling that in.
This is Little House Needlework's Old West! Its very easy to do, I really don't need my magnet board to stitch it. I love love the cowboy! I am excited to do the wagon and catcus in the little scene below him. I am having fun with it. :))
Cowboy closeup:
Right now, I am working on Moonlight Immersion from HAED, Ching-Chou Kuik. I got her out because I was bad and ordered a new HAED CCK chart yesterday, Simply Rose. She is so small though, she really won't make a ruckus in routine I don't think. :)))
Thanks for peeking!! More updates soon, I want to share Moonlight Immersion asap. She is gorgeous!!

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 27, 2012) - Five tickets sold in B.C. were among the total of 24 MAXMILLION prizes won across the country in last night's LOTTO MAX draw. There was no winner for the LOTTO MAX jackpot, so Canadians will have another chance at $50 million next week.
Tickets sold in Fort St. John and Aldergrove won a MAXMILLION prize of $1 million each while tickets sold in Kamloops and the Kootenays each split a MAXMILLION. A fifth winning ticket, also sold in the Kootenays, is worth $333,333, with the MAXMILLION being split three ways.
Lottery prize winners have 52 weeks from the draw date printed on their ticket to come forward to claim their prize.
The specific retail locations where a winning lottery ticket was purchased will be announced after the winner has come forward to claim their prize.
We cannot release the name of the lottery winner before they have come forward to claim their prize.
This is the fourth consecutive week that a winning MAXMILLION ticket was sold in B.C. Next Friday's jackpot will be $50 million plus 50 MAXMILLIONS - just the third time in Canadian lottery history that this amount has been offered.
LOTTO MAX can be played at any Lotto or Lotto Express retailer or at PlayNow.com. Winning numbers can be found at bclc.com following each draw.

While the festival of colours and joy makes us all happy, the aftermath makes our hair and skin cry out for help. We rounded up a few pre and post Holi hair care tips to ensure you enjoy yourself without any worries.
Oil it
Massage your scalp thoroughly with coconut oil at least an hour before you get into the Holi celebrations. Ideally we'd suggest you do it the night before, but if that isn't possible then give the hair oil an hour to set into your scalp.
Cover it
Use a cap or bandana to cover your scalp, for some added protection. Your scalp is more prone to getting itchy and irritated when it comes in contact with the colour.
Tie it up
Make a bun, side braid, French braid, or a simple ponytail, but make sure your hair is tied up. Hair that is let down will absorb more colour than tied up hair.
Rinse without shampoo
Once you get into the shower after the festivities, we know your first instinct would be to get in there with the shampoo, but that will be counter-productive. Rinse out all the colour from of your hair with plain water, continue until the water in your shower runs clear and then do your shampoo and conditioner routine.
Get rid of the itch
If you feel like your scalp is on fire, there is a simple home remedy you can use to combat it. Take a mug of water and add two tablespoons of vinegar to it. Use this solution for the last rinse after hair wash. However, if the itching continues, consult a doctor.
Overnight treatment
Apply oil or a hair mask overnight if you feel like your hair is still dry. Next day wash it with a mild shampoo and condition your hair with a rich and deep conditioner.
Do not stop caring
Keep oiling your hair and give it some extra TLC at least for a couple of weeks after Holi ends to ensure your hair remains as lustrous as ever.

I get my highlights done every Christmas time. This year, I was a little late due to my mom who just arrived back home from Korea on Friday. With my sister home from college, we wanted to make something yummy for the family before she left.
It's simple, easy and yet so rich and creamy. It's been super long since I've made flan so I certainly wasn't the expert. It's nice to know that I can make flan that actually looks like flan and tastes like flan. Or I'm hoping that's how it's supposed to look like. But it didn't turn out as badly as I thought it would.
The end results were quite similar to this one. Everyone went right on to eating as soon as it was cold enough so I never got to take a picture of it. One thing's for sure... it was satisfying to know it was that delicious!

Winterville, NC - Cape Fear volleyball defeated Pitt Community College 3-1 on the road Tuesday evening.
The match featured two teams sitting 1st and 2nd in the conference. Cape Fear entered with an overall record of 18-4, while Pitt came in with a record of 18-9.
The match proved a test for the Sea Devils, who battled the Bulldogs in all four sets. Cape Fear was efficient in the first set, hitting .304 percent with 10 kills and only three errors. Pitt hung around; however, but Cape Fear managed to win 25-23.
The second set was just as close, and the Sea Devils nearly cost themselves by committing a game high 10 errors. However, they overcame the sloppy play to win 25-23.
More errors plagued them in the third set, and this time, Pitt was able to take advantage, winning 27-25. The road team cut down on them in the fourth, though, and put away Pitt with a 25-19 win.
"Good win off of a long weekend break," said head coach Emily Coleman. "We kept plugging along, but we need to maintain consistency and control the ball on our side of the net. Our middles were solid for us tonight."
Cape Fear had many strong performers, including Jennifer Shirley, who finished with seven kills, and Madison Spencer, who had 11 kills five blocks. Shilah Haumann led the team with 12 kills five blocks.
The Sea Devils improve to 19-4 overall, and 12-1 in conference play.
They play their final regular season match at home against Catawba Valley Community College this Saturday, October 28th, at 11:00 a.m.

High levels of omega 6 promote diseases including cardiovascular disease, cancer and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, whereas increased levels of omega 3 suppress these effects.
Some of the differences between wild and caught fish are:
- The fish feed- the fat that is used in the fish feed have been found to have cancer-causing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). This is predominantly in farm-raised salmon and exists at 16 times the rate of wild salmon.
- Canthaxanthin – this is found in farmed salmon and is a synthetic pigment that is used to add a pink colour to the flesh of salmon. Wild salmon gets their colour naturally from eating krill and excreting adrenalin (however you will even notice that the colour is a different pink between the two)
- Polybrominated Diphenyl – researchers have found high levels of polybrominated diphenyl (a chemical used as a flame retardant) in high levels in farmed fish. PBDEs are endocrine disruptors.
Just be sure to make sure you fish is actually wild caught. Choose The Canadian Way for salmon and ALWAYS ask if you cold water fish is wild caught. You seriously DO NOT want to be eating farmed fish. Remember that you vote with your dollar too!
