When I look at the ads and notice that a particular store is having a great sale, I have to decide whether I will price match or make my way to that store to purchase the sale items I need. For this particular trip, I was able to combine errands with a trip to Albertson. Usually I don't shop here, since they are one of the most expensive grocery stores in my area. They do however have some amazing sales now and again. This month they had a few frozen items on sale, so the boy and I ventured out and filled our cart with some savings!
Below is a run down of what I got. I also share how we use it and make it work.

PRIME's Quality Improvement (QI) Education Programs are central to our mission
to support healthcare professionals in achieving benchmarks for national quality initiatives.
PRIME's Quality Improvement (QI) Education Programs are central to our mission
to support healthcare professionals in achieving benchmarks for national quality initiatives.
PRIME® conducted a QI project to identify interprofessional and coproductive correlates of care quality for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In a survey study associated with this project, we identified suboptimal coproductive interaction between patients with COPD and members of primary care interprofessional healthcare teams. Across providers, there were gaps and variation in provision of patient education, attitudes and practices regarding shared decision-making, and care coordination with pulmonary specialists. The survey study indicated mismatches between COPD patients and providers in perceived ability to recognize COPD exacerbations, shared treatment goals, barriers to medication adherence, and perceived impact of COPD on quality of life. In an ongoing phase 2 project, PRIME® is implementing high-impact, targeted educational interventions to successfully close these gaps. This program and its outcomes are reported in the peer-reviewed journal BMJ Quality Improvement Reports. Moreover, the program received the SQUIRE Certificate of Excellence in Multidisciplinary Approach at the ACEhp Quality and Innovation Summit.
PRIME's approach to quality improvement (QI) education applies our innovative methods
for "scaling up" QI initiatives through benchmarking data.
In a QI program and study on rheumatoid arthritis (RA), PRIME® assessed the impact of QI-focused education on community-based rheumatologists' performance on national quality measures for RA, along with patient-centered measures aligned with National Quality Strategy priorities. Clinical performance was assessed through baseline and post-education chart audits. As reported in the peer-reviewed journal Rheumatology and Therapy, the study demonstrated a significant impact of QI-focused education in improving the rheumatologists' performance on clinical and patient-centered RA quality measures. Applying PRIME's Framework for Promoting and Evaluating Sustainability and Scalability, we incorporated benchmarking data from this QI study into a scale-up educational program, comprising a national series of RA webinars for interprofessional rheumatology clinicians. The scale-up program outcomes demonstrated education-associated gains in the clinicians' ability to deliver evidence-aligned RA care, and to develop and implement system-based QI action plans to improve treatment outcomes for patients. For this project, PRIME® was awarded Number 1 honors in Overall Best-in-Class for QI Education Outcomes by ACEhp at its annual Alliance Industry Summit.

Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton Brokers Can't Wait for Many More Seasons of Fun and Football
A.J Belt, Chase Kulp and Zach Talbot of the Cushman & Wakefield Ft. Lauderdale office organized a Cushman & Wakefield sponsored flag football team in Ft. Lauderdale's Mills Pond Park Men's Flag Football League.
Flag football can be best described as typical US-American/Canadian football where the basic rules of the game are similar, but a flag is used by the defensive team rather than traditional tackling.
Boca colleagues, James Crowley and Joe Freitas, also played on the team, which was rounded out by other local young professionals in the area.
The team went 4-4 and qualified for the playoffs in their first season under the Cushman & Wakefield flag. They are already looking forward to the next season which "kicks off" after Labor Day.

Yes, Rooftop Readers, the time has come to go back to the beginning.
February 28th will mark Project: Rooftop's eighth anniversary. Following the absolutely insane response to the Draw Batgirl Meme in 2006, sparked by a blog post from the incredible Andi Watson, and fueled by original Batgirl redesigns by me and my friend Jamie Dee Galey, I pulled together some of my comics pals to create a venue to share, discuss, and celebrate the very specific art of redesigning superhero costumes. Here, we have tried to promote the idea that superhero costume redesigns require a particular set of skills and and demand thoughtful consideration. We found allies. We made an impact.
Since our inception, many of our artists have become top names in the superhero redesign game. Many of them were well on their way to superstar status (or had already achieved it), but here at Project: Rooftop, we're proud to claim as contributors Ming Doyle, Joe Quinones, Kris Anka, Annie Wu, Stuart Immonen, Jamie McKelvie, and so many others who have made significant impacts in the world of mainstream superhero costuming and design. Superhero costume redesigns have become more frequent, more discussed, and more regularly credited, during our eight year tenure as the self-appointed high priests of superhero fashion.
Looking back on the original Draw Batgirl Meme, followed quickly by Draw Supergirl, Draw Green Lantern, Draw Superboy, and others that never had quite the zeitgeist, lightning-in-a-bottle nature of their predecessor, it's easy to see why Batgirl attracted so many more designers. In modern continuity, the Batgirl most of us know, Barbara Gordon, was the first character to appropriate the iconography of Batman for herself, making it her own, without permission or apology. Like Batman, Batgirl is a hero without superpowers, but hardly without power. Her crimefighting skills and determined will are forces that defeat fictional villains and inspire real readers.
But there have been many Batgirls, of course. Bill Finger and Sheldon Moldoff's original Bat-Girl, Betty Kane, was the sidekick of the first Batwoman. Cassandra Cain took up the mantle in an Alex Maleev designed costume in 1999, and became a fan favorite in the hands of her co-creators, Kelley Puckett and Damion Scott. In 2009, former Spoiler and Robin, Stephanie Brown, threw on a Lee Garbett designed cape as the Chuck Dixon and Tom Lyle created character took on her third costumed alias.
And there have been so many others, in various other worlds and short stories, and that's not even taking all the Batwomen into account. Basically, to create a Batgirl, you need a girl and you need a bat-symbol. The thousand-plus permutations seen in just the first week of Draw Batgirl attested to that. For this contest, we are allowing ALL CONCEPTS. No restrictions. Redesign any of the previous Batgirls or create your own! Girl + Bat = Batgirl. The top entries will be judged and featured here on the site.
As usual, check our guidelines, include your name and website, and send your art as an attachment in .jpg, .png, or .gif format to firstname.lastname@example.com.
PLEASE FORMAT THE FILE NAME AS "artist-name-character.format" as this will save me a ton of time renaming your files.
And for eight years of making Project: Rooftop one of the most well regarded outlets for awesome art and whopping levels of talent, I'd like to extend a sincere thanks to our co-founder Chris Arrant and our contributors Vito Delsante, Joel Priddy, Jon Morris, Rachel Eddidin, Jessica Plummer, and Glen Weldon. Thank you all so very much.
Thanks also to every designer out there who has sent us their art, linked to our events, and visited our little art party over the years. It's an honor for all of us to offer this space. I love comics and superheroes, and of everything I've done in my career to promote the medium and genre that literally saved my life, Project: Rooftop is one of the things I'm most proud of helping create.
And that's enough self-back-patting to last us a couple more years. You've got one month. Get drawing! –Dean
Entries for Batgirl Begins Again must be received by February 28th, 2014.

In a nutshell, dynamic memory management in vFabric Postgres is conceptually like Elastic Memory for Java (EM4J), but for a virtualized, enterprise-class, open source database instead of an application server.
Compared to a normal PostgreSQL server, vFabric Postgres brings two additions necessary for flexible virtualization of the database server. These two features can help companies realize the benefits of virtualizing the database and the associated cost savings from running an open source database on an extremely cost-effective infrastructure.
- Elastic shared memory management
- Automatic memory configuration
Elastic Shared Memory Management
Directly embedded with PostgreSQL core, the elastic shared memory management is a new feature of vFabric Postgres. This capability allows memory to be released or obtained according to the other virtual machine needs on the same server. Continue reading

Spillin' The Beans: Ryan Spilborghs talks about how to fight a slump in Japan
Ryan Spilborghs spent six seasons as an outfielder with the Colorado Rockies, becoming a fan favorite for his walk-up music ("Sweet Escape"), myriad mustaches, car commercials and his big hits (like his walkoff grand slam against the Giants). Spilborghs hit .272 with 42 home runs and .345 on-base percentage in 619 games with the Rockies.
After spending last season in the minor leagues with Texas, the former Cal-Santa Barbara star signed with the Seibu Lions in the Japanese league this winter. He's chronicling his journey through occasional blogs for The Denver Post. Find him on Twitter @SpillyGoat19. Find his archive of Spillin' the Beans blogs here.
I started this blog about ten days ago, then set it aside — just because it was something I wasn't able to quite put to words, not like its something bad, or something really negative. But in the midst of a little slump I didn't want to really think about it anymore, but after the last little stretch and the fact I just got sent back down, I figure this would be the perfect time to finish. Check out the second part of this blog tomorrow…
Baseball is a fickle game. Jaime Quirk (former Rockies bench coach with great humor and baseball smarts) would always joke with me: "This isn't a try-hard league. Anyone can try hard. I can get someone off the street to try hard. This is a do-good league. You have to do good."
The thing with baseball is that the season goes forever, at least feels that way. Spring training has passed about a month ago, and all the stats and feeling that you have or had then are now gone. What is important is what you do everyday from here on out. I started the season in the minors, played about 10 games there, and now I'm a little over fifteen games with Seibu's big-league team. Guys who have played several seasons know how long the season is, so when guys start off in slumps or start hot, you try to limit how high or low you feel.
The trick to having a successful season is to maintain your confidence. Being confident when you are "raking" (swinging good) is easy, you roll to the ballpark knowing you are getting at least one hit. But keeping your confidence when you're not raking or getting results is a completely different story.
First thing that happens is a players sees his average, that literally dictates all confidence. A player that has three cheap hits in 10 at-bats sees he's hitting .300 and feels good about himself. Another player who maybe has one or two hits but has been hitting the ball hard and sees his average around .200 usually will start to panic. Because what happens is that all hitters want to hit .300, and knowing our missing hits we usually try to make them up right away, so the example of being 2-10, you'll try to go 4-10 to get back to .300.
Only after years in professional baseball did I learn a simple counting method for myself. I tried to get three hits in 10 ABs, so I would count how many hits I could get in those ten, once it was over I started a new ten so that I would never get overwhelmed by a rough stretch. I knew that there would be counts of 10 when I would get 4, 5, 6 hits, maybe some others 1, 2 or none. But by the end of the year I would end up where I usually end up. It prevented my confidence by being defined by my aggregate average. I could be hitting .220 but have a stretch of 5-10 and say to myself "I'm raking!"
To me the most dangerous hitter is the guy with unwavering confidence, I usually use Dustin Pedroia as my prime example, Manny Ramirez was the same too. If you watch him come to the plate he knows he is better then that pitcher (whether he was or wasn't), and the score or his average did not dictate his at-bat and what he was trying to do, they just knew they are gonna get a hit, even if they don't. They believe they will get the next one. It's almost like that "d-bag" at the bar that hits on everyone he sees, failure upon failure until he meets someone who matches up, and you end up scratching your head like, "How did he do that? He should have quit awhile ago!"
So when I started this season in the minors I knew I had found my swing, I wasn't worried about trying to get called up right away. I just went and enjoyed a carefree environment of baseball. It was probably the most fun I've had playing for some time, no interpreter, no "jumbo-trons" (check that, there was one when we played at Nippon Ham's minor-league complex), home every night to have dinner with kids and sometimes adventures (took kids to bowling, aquariums and fun dinners). It's not that I didn't work, we would play games and afterward we would have to do conditioning and other exercises. I was usually exhausted after the day. It was enjoyable playing in a learning environment, it wasn't a "do-good" league, it was a "get-better" league.
The thing with minors in Japan is that it is one team, there aren't various levels, there isn't a High-A or Triple-A. It's one team. And there are veterans and first-year rookies all working and playing together. In fact they all live at the complex together, except for guys who are married or have lived in the complex for four years. Even guys on the big-league team live at the team complex. Can you imagine Mike Trout still living in a complex for four years even though he's playing in bigs? The dorms aren't quite the Hilton either, I would say they are similar to summer camp at best. The complex is about 40 years old, some other teams have better digs, but if I wasn't married with kids I wouldn't mind staying there.
This minor-league model (a complex where minor-league players practice and play games year-round) is what I believe is the best way to make players better. Although I still think some of the stuff is a little overkill (BP after a game, after regular BP and early BP). I really believe playing as much as you can (Japanese players pretty much play and practice year-round), will make a player better, especially with some sort of weight training as part of the daily routine. I found for myself the years I went and played winter-ball, that I would be ahead of other guys that were my equal. There is something behind getting extra at-bats (I would get about 200 ABs in winterball. After four years it was like playing two extra seasons without getting older) and games that give you confidence in your abilities — and give you results, of course.

The HTC One was originally launched in just black and silver/white. While the Silver/white version was available everywhere and the Stealth black only available at a few carriers like Sprint and AT&T. After that they launched the Blue HTC One which was exclusive to Best Buy, which means no Blue HTC One for T-Mobile. Then there was the red HTC One, which looks really nice. According to Shen Ye, of XDA, it appears that the HTC M8 is coming in four colors which he states in hex codes #bebebe, #33b5e5, #cc0000, and #414141. Which is the same colors as the current HTC One.
It's also interesting that he is referring to it as the HTC One Two. Even though, we've heard it called many different names. Like the HTC One+, HTC One (2014), and the HTC Two, aside from the HTC One Two. So we still don't know the name of the newest HTC flagship, but we should see it coming in the next month or so from HTC. Hopefully they won't name it the HTC One Two though.
It's great to see HTC launching it in four colors at launch though. I'd probably prefer the black or red version as I really liked those versions of the HTC One. The Stealth Black HTC One looks really nice, especially compared to the glacial silver one. It's about time an OEM released a device with all the colors at the same time instead of releasing more colors later on in the product cycle, which is what Samsung does quite often.
The HTC M8 is slated to come with a 5-inch 1080p Full HD display, along with your front-facing speakers (which we love), a Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, and likely a larger battery. We're also looking at a better UltraPixel camera on the back. Hopefully we'll get at least a 8MP UltraPixel camera this time around.
How many of you are interested in the HTC M8? Let us know in the comments below.

Race 2
Race 2 review: The glam is a sham!
Source: Sify
By: Sonia Chopra
Critic's Rating: 17/5
Friday 25 January 2013
Race 2
Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez, John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Ameesha Patel
Consider the film's running joke - one revolving around fruits and Anil Kapoor's assistant named (what else) Cherry. So naturally, dialogues like 'pop your cherry' and 'I am a juicer' make appearances.
After a lovemaking session, the assistant tells her boss, 'Kya khaate ho, Sir' (she's the fruit basket, gettit?).
Gross, sexist jokes apart, the film has an interesting, even if filmi, story.
In a twisted revenge drama, Ranveer (Saif Ali Khan, always in suits) has an axe to grind with Armaan (John Abraham, also always in suits). He befriends him through a mediator (Anil Kapoor with assistant Ameesha Patel in tow at all times).
Then throughout the film, as we are introduced to the other characters - Armaan's sister (Deepika Padukone), his girlfriend (Jacqueline Fernandes) etc, we are left to guess who's conning whom.
The theme of grey characters is taken from the original Race, which despite its formulaic storytelling packed quite a punch. This one is disappointing in comparison.
The film is replete with insipid moments - in a fencing match between Saif and Jacqueline's characters, they use the age-old gag (he uses the sword to strip her).
In an unintentionally hilarious scene, you have characters escape a burning plane in a car supported by four parachutes. It's enough to make you roll off the floor!
The film will have you thinking back to Players, yet another below-par film with big stars!
There's talk of millions of euros, Deepika steps out from a pool, yet another song breaks the story, and a dialogue 'let the race begin' appears right before the interval.
To be fair, the Allah Duhaiyi song is electrifyingly picturised; one of the film's highlights. The other highlight of the film is the superlative action from the chase scenes to a near-fatal hand-to-hand combat.
Raavi Yadav's cinematography makes Istanbul look eye-catching. Music is above average.
Saif is surprising vapid in the film, and so is John. It's up to the girls then to set the screen on fire, which they do intermittently.
Anil Kapoor is good in the role, but honestly, filmmakers need to stop making him look foolish on screen, romancing girls half his age.
Directors Abbas-Mustan are on familiar territory - they have mastered the "art" of making really expensive, really mediocre films.
But then, it has the stars, the songs, and the action. It's enough for most. I guess that's the sad part.
Rating: 2.5 stars

Question of the Day, August 28, 2010
An inferno has been raging between game developers and consumers. Developers state that buying used games is just as bad as pirating a game, since they do not get any of the cut from the resale. Consumers, of course, enjoy purchasing a $60 game for half the price. What do you think? Are systems like Project Ten Dollar a good idea?
It is just as bad as piracy. Developers should get a cut.
|10.9% (60)
It is not the same as piracy - I like my games cheap.
|61.6% (340)
Project Ten Dollar is a good in-between arrangement.

|My favorite lake-side summer activity,
curling up with a good book!
(a little preggers here in 2012...)
This opens up an interesting, somewhat morbid perhaps, yet slightly philosophical discussion. What would you like the last book you read to be? Would it be something you've read before – an old favorite or a comfort read? Would it be a classic? Something cerebral and thought-provoking? Or would it be something you read purely for pleasure, entertainment, or escape – romance, mystery, horror, fantasy, sci-fi? Would it have notes in the margins? Would it have yellowed, wrinkled pages turned down in the corners marking your favorite bits?
It's a painful question to answer. Not because I find the possibility of death more unsettling than it would normally be, but because how does one choose? It's akin to the other dreaded book lover question: what's your favorite book? It's impossible to narrow down one answer. I love many different books, each for a different reason. The first book I connected with on an emotional level was The Diary of Anne Frank. Reading it in jr. high was like hearing the voice of a far-off friend inside my head. Bird by Bird by Anne Lamont made me roar with laughter and shed more than a few tears because it made me feel so much less alone in all my writerly weirdness.
Gone with the Wind was riveting, written so beautiful and lovingly. Still to this day, however many times I read it, I still feel as if I can reach out and touch the fabric of the words and the colorful world they paint on the canvas of my imagination. Boy's Life by Robert R. McCammon feels the same way but deeper because the connection I feel to the small Alabama town where the young hero grows up is identical to what I feel when I think of my own small Alabama hometown.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. The Hours After by Gerda Weissman Klein & Kurt Klein. The Bronze Horseman trilogy by Paullina Simons. The In Death series by J.D. Robb. All gorgeous books that have become dog-eared and brittle by use and/or time as all great books should be.
It is indeed an impossible question to answer, partly because there are so many great books I know I've yet to read. And all the more reason we should read what we love, yes? Readers, what would you like the last book you read to be? And, of course, feel free to list more than one if you can't choose….
Heartfelt thoughts go out to the troubled parts of the world – those touched by terrorism and tragedy in particular. Over the last few weeks, I've been going through my writer-girl blog to save some of the material before I begin the bittersweet process of closing down the long-time site. I found a book quote posted November 4, 2007 that is more relevant today than I could ever have thought imaginable….
Our children have never known a world without machines: dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, electric beaters, blenders, furnaces electric pumps, saws, computers--there are more machines than we can possibly count; beware, beware, lest they take us over....
We can't absorb it all. We know too much, too quickly, and one of the worst effects of this avalanche of technology is the loss of compassion....We are lost unless we can recover compassion, without which we will never understand charity. We must find, once more, community, a sense of family, of belonging to each other....
Marshall McLuhan speaks of the earth as being a global village, and it is, but we have lost the sense of family which is an essential part of a village.- from A Circle of Quiet by Madeline L'Engle

Farming offers an opportunity for us to have a balance between our land, livestock and wildlife. We're blessed to use the land in our possession for a brief amount of time. Our family appreciates the opportunity to care for this land and our animals, and we'd like the next generations to have the same opportunity. By taking care of our environment, we improve the chances of agriculture continuing in our beautiful country.
One of the ways we're working to preserve our land is by working with governmental agencies. Programs like the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) help farmers like us conserve our water and land resources.
We have three key initiatives on our farm:
Use cross-fencing for controlled grazing. If we do not make smaller fields, our animals wander and create paths, compacting and degrading the land. We use a pasture rotation system, which maintains forage and animal health. This also limits animal access to water, ensuring our community has fresh water for our family and yours.
- Use frost seeding to establish healthy forage early in the growing season. Our family worked with Michigan State University to complete forage trials, testing the best vegetation for our northern location and for the health of our land and livestock. From the trial results, we were able to focus our energy on the growth of Italian ryegrass and Alice white clover, diversifying the natural legume and grass vegetation in our area.
- Use the water resources on our land to maximize our farm efficiency. It is important for us to bring water to our animals 12 months of the year. We have established a watering system throughout our farm to be accessible to our sheep, reducing the time and energy they need to spend seeking resources.

To all those who are interested in the latest an greatest, I'm currently working on the 2013/2014 web application scanner benchmark, and already I'm seeing some VERY interesting results.
The benchmark will be published soon, and I'm posting many of the results during the assessment process using the comparison twitter account @sectoolmarket, which also publishes news about other information security product comparisons performed around the globe.
This time, I received plenty of help from multiple entities -
Many entities (including the ZAP project and IronWASP project) contributed test cases to wavsep (not included in this benchmark scope, but might be in the next),
Several researchers around the globe offered their help in the assessment process (encouraging me to work on something that will someday make it easier),
And last but not least, I received plenty of help from the wonderful guys at Denim group, which did their best to adjust ThreadFix so I can use it to make the task of comparing and counting results easier (just started checking it - looks great so far)
Wavsep was already enhanced to v1.5 (with hundreds of additional test cases that will be published after the upcoming benchmark),
The vast majority of commercial vendors already provided me with a valid license and installation, and at least half of the planned open source projects were either tested or currently being tested.
I'm planning to release the information gathered in two or three bulks -
(*) The typical benchmark and analysis (including at least two new vulnerability detection comparison aspects which will remain obscure at the moment - for the sake of the competition).
(*) An analysis of the DAST market status, based on the results and additional information gathered during the test.
I'm also planning to upload the results into a dynamic publication framework (partially implemented), although the first bulk of information will probably be published in the blog and static sectoolmarket website.
In short, stay tuned, results will be published soon .

Security Benchmarks & Comparisons – Plans for 2013
It's kind of hard to admit that your current strategy leads to a dead end… Hard, but liberating.
I initially started this blog because I was searching for a way to sort through an insane amount of tools I collected over the years - so we can all weed out the irrelevant and stick with what works.
Obviously, things got a little complicated, and after doing double shifts and spending half my nights over the past 4 years on comparisons, I realize now that I only covered 60-70 tools.
Sure, I had a good reason to do so - learning curve, comprehensiveness, accuracy, credibility, evolution… but the numbers don't lie.
As much as I like the idea of a one man army, the current rate is NOT what I expected, and to achieve something greater, I'll need to get some resources and some help (yeah yeah, mental too).
Nope, that DOES NOT mean that I'm about to stop any of my planned activities, researches or benchmarks. Giving up is for wusses.
It does mean, however, that I'm going to make some changes that will enable me to cover more, even if I have to make some decisions I was dreading and trying to postpone.
So what I'm planning for 2013 is to branch out and cover additional types of tools & products, in addition to vulnerability scanners.
That means updating WAVSEP with some hybrid issues, becoming less of a control freak, let go the leash I was so inclined on keeping, and probably even creating additional comparison platforms.
Yep… b a c k t o w o r k.

Looking sideways in science to find the women
Reflections on the WISRNet Workshop on July 16 2013 by Patricia Fara
When I was a PhD student, one of the most useful pieces of advice I received was: 'Talk to archivists and librarians. They're the experts on their collections, and they're the people who can direct you to the gold dust you're looking for – the long-forgotten documents waiting to be discovered, the surviving records that will bring the past to life and shed new light on old problems.' And judging from this workshop, the converse must also be true – librarians are longing to meet researchers who will share their enthusiasm for the old documents under their care.
This workshop worked because it had a narrow focus – women involved in science during the last couple of hundred years. Just as importantly, the participants interpreted their brief broadly in order to raise more general questions. Using modern definitions, there simply weren't any female scientists in the early nineteenth century: women couldn't go to university, they couldn't work in public laboratories, and they couldn't join scientific societies. There were, however, many women who contributed to science. For instance, Mary Anning discovered fossils that revolutionised geology. She was neither a professional palaeontologist nor merely an ignorant collector who knew how to strike a lucrative bargain – so how should we define her role? Many women illustrated and edited books that gave their menfolk international reputations – surely they should be included within the scientific pantheon? Should the definition of science be restricted to discovery and invention – or should it also include the translators, teachers and curators who ensured that knowledge was communicated effectively?
Glass ceilings and leaky pipelines….
Once into the twentieth century, different questions arose, ones more concerned with glass ceilings and leaky pipelines. Since we were meeting at the Royal Society, it seemed natural to discuss whether there should be more female fellows: but would that ultimately act against women's interests by entailing positive discrimination? In the past, some fields – plant genetics, X-ray crystallography – had relatively high levels of women: but was that because their male bosses were supportive or just quick to spot cheap workers? Rather than squeezing women into masculine models of work, might it be possible to redesign scientific employment so that all parents are fully engaged in family life?
Those big questions remained unanswered, but I went back to Cambridge with a list of new avenues to explore and unfamiliar archives to visit. A week later, I was invited to a marvellous primary school in Tower Hamlets, where I awarded a prize to the pupil whose second language – English – had improved the most (aged 11, she had reached the national standard of a 14 year old). Afterwards, I visited the London Metropolitan Archive (LMA), which I had learnt about at the workshop from Howard Benge. He showed me photographs of female carpenters standing at factory benches assembling the wooden wings of aeroplanes during World War One.
At this point, the WISRNet network extended itself in unanticipated directions. By the time I left, I had put Howard in touch with the head of the primary school, so that the children can visit the Education Centre at the LMA to look at photos of Tower Bridge being built and hone their engineering skills with paper and drinking straws. Perhaps in 30 or 40 years time, as a spin-off from our workshop, one of the little girls from that school will be a fellow of the Royal Society.

There are a number of ways to tell when your gas cylinder is empty:
1. When you press the carbonating button you don't see any gas going into your bottle of water
2. Even after repeated presses your water is not carbonated
3. You hear a spluttering sound when you attempt carbonation
Click here to exchange your empty gas cylinder with a new one.
Pro-tip: SodaStream recommends keeping a back up gas cylinder handy so that when one cylinder runs out, you simply swap the empty cylinder for a full one. That way, you'll keep enjoying fresh, sparkling water based drinks without interruption and can exchange the empty gas cylinder online through sodastream.co.uk or in a store near you.

The Bangalore-based firm plans to use fresh funds to scale up team and build multiple games for the Indian market as well as develop a back-end platform which would include social and payments solutions for their games. Mech Mocha's first game was called 'Puppet Punch', which the company claimed clocked 100,000 downloads in its first four days of launch earlier this year. It recently acquired exclusive rights of the upcoming movie, 'Chhota Bheem - Himalayan Adventure', based on the popular cartoon character in India to create games around it.
"We have over 400,000 installs and growth is accelerating as smartphone sales increase in India. We are working on more payments options to shore up revenues. Our major growth drivers would be the tier II & tier III cities. Therefore, we are focusing on mass Indian gaming segments with precise focus on popular culture, local text gratifications in Hinglish and many other India-inspired assets," said Arpita Kapoor, co-founder and CEO at Mech Mocha.
The online gaming industry in India is expected to be $3 billion by 2018 from its present size of less than $1 billion.
In March this year, Moonfrog Labs had raised $15 million from marquee investors such as Sequoia Capital and Tiger Global. Prior to that, in June 2014, Sequoia Capital had also invested a similar amount in Octro Inc, which launched digital versions of the card games Rummy and Teen Patti. Octro was among the first Indian gaming startup to receive such a big cheque from investors then. It has over 32 million users.
Nishant Verman, head of corporate development at Flipkart, said, "The team at Mech Mocha is one of the best I've seen in this domain. In Mech Mocha, we saw a perfect mix of young founders with infectious energy who are close to the market coupled with a core team with collective experience of working on world-class mobile products from King, Disney, Nickelodeon, Zynga, EA and Directi. Mech Mocha will benefit from Flipkart's expertise in scalable mobile platform development. Both e-commerce and gaming have overlapping audience and thus we see multiple synergies that can benefit mutually."
Mech Mocha, at present, is witnessing transactions worth $1,000 every day on its platform, the company said.
"Mech Mocha is investing actively in building India's first ethnographic intelligence framework to be able to quickly localize their games for different regions of India. This framework, combined with their unique alternate channels of acquiring users, can then be used to build games for mass-market in India," said Arpit Agarwal, principal, Blume Ventures.
