It takes a very special entrepreneur to build a business without angel or venture capital financing. Bootstrapping certainly is not the easiest path, but it can be especially rewarding, and we're excited to once again celebrate those companies that are successfully guiding their businesses without outside funding.
We've got five great finalists in the Bootstrapper of the Year category for the GeekWire Awards, including companies in security, cloud computing, event ticketing, . (See below for voting and descriptions).
If you're just tuning in, we're in the midst of picking the winners in 13 categories — ranging from Startup of the Year to Innovation of the Year to Geek of the Year — as part of the annual GeekWire Awards.
Over the next few days, we're opening voting in each of 13 categories, with GeekWire readers choosing their top picks. All of the winners will be revealed at the GeekWire Awards — presented by Wave Broadband — on May 7 at EMP.
A big thanks to Merriman, the presenting sponsor for the 2015 Bootstrapper of the Year category.
Vote here, and keep reading for descriptions of each of our five finalists this year.
BitTitan: BitTitan is growing fast, recently taking over a new 16,000 square foot office space in Kirkland complete with a high-tech video wall, on-site gym and a large "social hall" where employees can sip a latte or grab a soda pop from one of three beverage coolers.
Typically, those are the amenities you see at well-funded startups burning through other people's money. But not at BitTitan, which has developed an unique technology to migrate email mailboxes, public folders and other documents to the cloud.
Founded in 2007 by ex-Microsoftie Geeman Yip, BitTitan has now migrated more than 1.5 million mailboxes on behalf of 4,000 organizations. Customers using the service include Godfather's Pizza, Harpo Studios, LSU and others.
BrandVerity: BrandVerity has grown steadily with its online service that helps big brands like Dropbox and Sephora protect their trademarks across the Internet. The Seattle startup, founded in 2008 by former Judy's Book engineering vice president David Naffziger, is proud of its bootstrapping roots with the company saying it values "scrappiness, curiosity, and a love of risk-taking."
Brown Paper Tickets: Celebrating its 15th year in business, Brown Paper Tickets has never taken a dime of venture capital money, taking a different path from heavily-funded online ticketing rivals such as 9-year-old Eventbrite. Under the direction of CEO Steve Butcher and founder William S. Jordan, the Seattle company has ranked as high as the third largest ticket company in the world by the trade publication Ticket News.
Brown Paper Tickets helped transform the ticketing business, and it continues to innovate launching services such as the ability to help event organizers collect donations online without charging a service fee. The profitable company, which employs 85, has helped thousands of event planners sell about 20 million tickets worldwide.
"Bootstrapping the company has made us more nimble, efficient and sustainable, and we are able to pay that forward to our customers," Butcher and Jordan write in a Q&A on their site. "We have better planning, better design, and more scalability at a lower cost than the rest of the industry."
Cloak: Founded by former Microsoft employees engineers Dave Peck, Peter Sagerson and Nick Robinson, Cloak has created a service to protect Macs and iOS devices from snooping on unsecured wireless networks. The app was chosen as a "Best in Show" at the 2014 Macworld conference, with the editors at the news publication writing: "Given how much of our daily life and business is conducted online, the question isn't really if you can afford to sign up for Cloak—it's if you can afford not to."
MedBridge: Led by founder and CEO Justin Kowalchuk, MedBridge's health care education platform is designed to help providers control rising costs. The company now has more than 350 hospital and private practice clients, and has a growing staff of more than 50 employees in Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood.
"Our mission is to give providers the tools they need to meet the demands of an evolving healthcare industry," said CEO Justin Kowalchuk. "Improved patient outcomes require powerful education and effective patient care resources that help clinicians further engage patients in the rehabilitation process."
Don't forget to grab your tickets for the GeekWire Awards. This event usually sells out. And this year, things will be especially geeky as we open up the amazing Star Wars costume exhibit at EMP to all GeekWire Awards guests. What better way to get your geek on than go face-to-face with Chewbacca!

The Guild of Unani-Tibb (T.G.U.) is an inclusive professional organisation.
After the Second World War migrants from South Asia came to Europe and the United Kingdom. These communities brought diversity of cultures, ways of life and, wisdom based traditions of health and medicines such as Ayurveda and Unani-tibb with them. In the 1960's there was an association of Veds and Hakims called Association of Ayurveda and Unani Medicine.
Later the Eastern Medicine Practitioners Association (EMPA) evolved to provide services to wider communities.
The T.G.U. has been formed to meet the increasing needs of people who are seeking the care and services of well trained, experienced and ethical physicians of natural medicine.
The T.G.U. values and promotes diversity of natural healthcare traditions, with particular promotion and development of traditional Unani-Tibb medicine as a natural alternative healthcare.

It's Not All About Urban Infill
February 21, 2019
It is no secret that the industrial sector has been the darling of the current commercial real estate cycle, especially over the last 5 years. Looking at NCREIF returns by property type, industrial is the only property type that saw stronger annualized returns in 2014 – 2018 than in 2011 – 2013. Moreover, relative to NCREIF's NPI index the industrial property type has outperformed the broader U.S. commercial real estate market by more than 400 basis points annually since 2014.
This paper aims to explore the key trends driving the industrial market. We will analyze the current drivers of demand and rent growth as well as how emerging technologies, such as autonomous trucking, may affect the market.
Current Trends
Over the last 5 years (2014 – 2018), industrial net absorption in the U.S. has been remarkably strong, with an average of 260MM square feet of space absorbed annually during this period, a 40% increase over the annual average between 2003 and 2007. Moreover, the growth rate of total industrial occupancy has accelerated from 1.5% per annum over 2003 – 2007 to 1.8% per annum over the last 5 years. Analyzing the recent trends in industrial space demand, we believe that an emphasis on supply chain efficiency in recent years has driven tenants into large, exurban properties in the nation's major logistics hubs.
Big Box Demand
"Big Box" users, defined here as those larger than 200,000 square feet, have driven overall net absorption throughout this cycle. Since 2014, 67% of net absorption has been concentrated in properties larger than 200,000 square feet with these properties capturing 72% of net absorption in 2018. Propelling this trend is an increased emphasis among tenants on optimizing their national supply chains through fewer but larger and more centrally located warehouses.
The trend towards "Big Box" industrial has largely concentrated in key logistics markets, which we define as having relatively high stock of industrial space relative to local consumption. Generally, the key logistics markets possess large pools of labor. Additionally, the key logistics markets typically include the presence of major infrastructure (e.g. Riverside, Chicago and Dallas) or a combination of low cost labor, cheap land and accessibility towards large consumption markets (e.g. Central Pennsylvania to New York and Stockton to San Francisco). Moreover, the rise in e-commerce has supported growth in Midwestern metros like Columbus and Cincinnati, which can provide one-day air, and two-day ground delivery to a large swath of the country.
Despite the popular narrative surrounding "Urban Infill" industrial, tenants have increasingly preferred lower cost exurban submarkets as they seek to maximize profitability. Analyzing nearly 2,600 submarkets, we characterized each submarket by their population density, assigning each submarket as Urban, Higher Density suburban, Lower Density suburban, or Exurban.1 We found that 80% of logistics net absorption since 2007 has been in exurban submarkets, while exurban submarkets account for only 60% of stock. Over this period, higher density submarkets (including both urban and higher density suburbs) have captured 1% of net absorption.
We believe this trend towards growth in lower density submarkets is the result of tenants seeking to maximize their bottom line by lowering occupancy costs. Developers have taken notice, with nearly all development since 2014 occurring in lower density suburban and exurban submarkets. Meanwhile, urban submarkets have lost industrial stock as developers repurposed older warehouses into higher-value uses like residential and office. To validate further the exurban net absorption trends, we analyzed the location of over 300 million square feet of space leased to Amazon, Walmart, FedEx and UPS to glean occupancy trends, since these companies are some of the most sophisticated users of industrial space. Our findings show that Amazon and Walmart are highly active in leasing space in exurban big boxes. For example, 65% of Amazon's warehouses are over 200,000 square feet (with 45% larger than 500,000 square feet), while 77% of Amazon's total industrial footprint is located in the exurbs. Walmart favors the exurbs even more, with 90% of its footprint located in these submarkets. While the parcel carriers show more balance among the submarket types, they still are both slightly over-represented in exurban submarkets and slightly under-represented in urban submarkets.2
For urban and higher density suburban submarkets, a general lack of modern supply may have contributed to lower net absorption. In these higher density submarkets (which are predominately located in Southern California, Chicago and New York),3 product instead tends to be older and less efficient. For example, in the submarkets of Queens and Brooklyn, which collectively hold 175 million square feet of industrial space, just 1% of inventory meets a loose definition of "modern stock".4 In contrast, 48% of the Exit 8A submarket and 38% of stock in the exurban Lehigh Valley meets this criterion of "modern stock".5 While lack of land will likely continue to limit development in urban infill locations, rising rents may support renovating older warehouses to take advantage of tight market conditions in these locations.
Market Matters More than Submarket
Despite the supply constraints of higher density submarkets, our analysis does not find meaningfully higher rent growth in these submarkets (after accounting for market-wide factors), and even found instances where exurban submarkets outperformed infill submarkets within the same market. For example, in the New York metro Exit 8A (an exurban submarket approximately a hour drive from Midtown Manhattan) saw annualized rent growth of 7.7% over the last 5 years while Queens and Brooklyn (urban submarkets) posted rent gains of 7.1% per year over the same period.6 Our analysis, therefore, suggests that market selection matters much more than infill vs. suburban location. Variations in rent growth are significantly greater across markets rather than within markets. Similarly, an analysis of submarket rent growth based on proximity to infrastructure (seaports, airports, and intermodal terminals) also shows that there is not significant variation.
Emerging Trends
While we expect industrial net absorption to moderate as the U.S. economy downshifts, we think several emerging trends may influence the utilization and location of warehouses. These trends may also drive greater cost efficiencies (i.e. labor, transportation) which could offset higher rents as tenants look to optimize profitability with proximity to the consumer. While these technologies overlap, we see three distinct areas where technological innovations will likely affect the supply chain.
First, warehouse automation and big data analytics are changing supply chains and how companies utilize their warehouses. Big data in the supply chain allows companies to build better demand forecasts, lowering turnaround times, and optimizing delivery networks.7 These advances will continue to drive the shift towards larger, more centralized distribution networks and modern, efficient warehouses. Moreover, lower turnaround times may allow for leaner inventories, which ultimately could reduce the need for warehouse space relative to total sales. Predictive analytics and warehouse efficiency will be crucial for companies reducing shipping times, which may further enhance the use of the hub and spoke model.
Second, for the most sophisticated supply chains, the next frontier is increased automation of warehouse picking operations through robotics. For example, Amazon's warehouses (which employ 100,000 robots alongside 125,000 humans) are nearly 50% more efficient than the average retailer's.8 Improved warehouse efficiency (all other things being equal) reduces the need for logistics space, with Morgan Stanley Research estimating that Amazon's newer warehouses can handle the same freight capacity with 30% fewer square feet.9 Moreover, they estimate that only 14% of Amazon fulfillment centers are currently utilizing robotics. With Amazon occupying an estimated 140 million square feet of logistics space, this increased utilization would reduce their occupancy needs by more than 35 million square feet. While we doubt Amazon would actually vacate this space, improved efficiencies may slow their take-up rate of new occupancy in the near to mid-term.
Higher levels of automation could also reduce the need for labor. Today, finding enough labor to staff a warehouse is a major challenge for companies, especially with historically tight labor market conditions. However, with more automation, smaller workforces may be capable of supporting larger warehouses.
Advances in robotics and analytics will also affect the supply chain through the development of autonomous trucking. McKinsey expects that the technology will emerge in four stages. They envision that the first and second stages will develop over the next several years and focus on "platooning". At first drivers will remain in each truck, but wireless connections between vehicles will allow them to operate closer together and reduce fuel costs. The second stage of platooning, which they expect to occur over 2020 – 2025, will keep a driver in the lead truck with unmanned vehicles following closely behind. They estimate the use of platooning can reduce costs by approximately 11%. They call the third stage "constrained autonomy" and imagine that autonomous trucks will drive themselves on interstate highways at dedicated truck stops near urban centers where human drivers would take over. McKinsey expects this to develop over 2025 – 2027 and lower costs by an additional 9%. Finally, starting in 2027 they anticipate full autonomy will emerge with trucks driving autonomously along all highways. They expect full autonomy to lower cost another 25%.10
We anticipate several impacts from autonomous trucking. Proximity to highways, particularly interstate highways, may become a vital requirement for logistics tenants. Additionally, autonomous trucks may reduce the need for logistics tenants to locate near intermodal facilities as lower trucking costs may reduce intermodal freight demand. Warehouse operations may also move further away from higher cost infill locations as the cost of transportation falls. Finally, given autonomy will increase the distance a truck can travel in a given day (from 500 to 1,000 miles), centrally located markets may see increased demand.
Third, we expect that advanced manufacturing will influence the source of production and thus has the potential to shift supply chains with more manufacturing occurring in the United States. With speed to market becoming increasingly important and now seen by manufacturers as a key differentiator, we believe that advanced manufacturing techniques (i.e. 3D printing, industrial robotics, and virtual-reality assisted manufacturing) will become a major force in the supply chain. This will likely increase warehouse demand in key manufacturing locations, particularly in the southeastern United States. One example is Adidas' decision to open its "Speedfactory" in Atlanta.11 "By placing factories closer to consumers, Adidas could ostensibly leapfrog over shipping delays and expenses".12
Conversely, advanced manufacturing may also reduce how much space tenants need. For example, 3-D printing may reduce the need for bulky manufacturing infrastructure and quicker lead times for products may reduce the need to carry larger inventories
Overall, we expect demand for industrial space to remain above historical levels, driven by continued growth in e-commerce, manufacturing, and an expanding economy. We expect to see more divergence in market performance as tenants become more selective on location and believe exurban locations within the most attractive markets will optimize tenant profitability with a desire to be close to the consumer. The emergence of new technologies will lower the overall cost basis for warehouse users which could potentially enable logistics tenants to allocate the incremental savings to rent in higher quality and better located warehouse facilities. Meanwhile, other secular trends such as shifts in consumption towards e-commerce, increases in local production, and just-in-time distribution should continue to boost industrial demand. The current and emerging trends in how industrial tenants seek to maximize the value of their real estate and drive space efficiencies likely favors the use of large exurban sites with good connectivity to large consumption markets.

We'll be completing a health and safety audit of headstones and memorials in City Cemetery, Dundonald Cemetery, Friar's Bush Graveyard, Glenalina Cemetery, Knock Burial Ground and Knockbreda Cemetery. We will begin our inspections in August 2018 and will work through the cemetery grave section by grave section.
We've been carrying out a memorial safety inspection programme at our cemeteries since August 2016. We understand that bereavement and memorials for loved ones are sensitive issues and we do not wish to cause any further upset for families and friends. However, the aim of this programme is to ensure that our cemeteries are safe places for all those who work in and visit them.
We began our inspection in Balmoral Cemetery in August 2016 and moved into Shankill Graveyard and Clifton Street Cemetery which were completed by November 2016. We then started the inspections at Roselawn Cemetery in February 2017.
If you have any concerns or would like to know more about the Memorial Safety Inspection Programme please contact the Memorial Office at Roselawn Cemetery 028 9044 9398, Bereavement Services Office 028 9027 0296 or email email@example.com
We have developed this programme based on other memorial safety programmes carried out in many UK cemeteries. If we find a headstone or memorial that is deemed unsafe, we stabilise the memorial using a stake and band to make it safe temporarily. Please do not touch the gravestone or stake or band for your own safety.
Within 10 days of finding an unsafe memorial we write to the registered grave owner (their last known address) to make them aware that the memorial is unsafe and outlining what they need to do. If we do not receive a reply within three months, we will send a reminder letter. If we have still not received a reply after a further three months (six months in total), our cemetery staff will take action as deemed necessary to make the area safe as outlined in our memorial management policy.
Unfortunately, because graves and memorials can be purchased decades in advance we may not have the most recent contact details, therefore we are trying to make all residents aware of this policy through the press, social media and our resident's magazine City Matters.
While we are responsible for overall safety in our cemeteries, including risks from unstable memorials, we don't own the memorials. The owner of a memorial is the Deed Holder (grave owner of exclusive right of burial) or successor in title. This person is responsible for maintaining the memorial so that it does not become a hazard.
However, in some cases, the current owner may not be identifiable as some records are extremely old and might not have been updated by current relatives or family members. If you would like to update the "Deed Holder" contact details, please contact the Memorial Office at Roselawn Cemetery 028 9044 9398, Bereavement Services Office 028 9027 0296 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Our memorial management policy outlines the historical problems we have faced in managing memorials and ways of dealing with instable, hazardous and unauthorised memorials. It also contains information about the installation of and standards for new memorials so that they are safe.
Our principles are based on British Standard BS8415 and best practice issued by the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management. We have also followed guidance from the British Register of Accredited Memorial Masons (BRAMM) Guide and the National Association of Memorial Masons (NAMM) Code and Blue Book.
You can also get a copy by calling into our office on the ground floor of Cecil Ward Building, 4-10 Linenhall Street, Belfast, or phoning us on 028 9027 0296.

A 12-year-old American boy was so into a U.K. puppet/animation video series called "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared," he used hacked credit card information he found online to donate 35,000 pounds (nearly $60,000) to help the series reach its 100,000-pound goal.
Becky & Joe, the filmmaking team behind the series, realized something was up when they looked at the donations: The Kickstarter users supporting their project had names like "fg fg" and used made-up languages, reports Dazed and Confused Magazine, a U.K.-based pop-culture publication. In a private message to the campaign, a donor confessed he found the credit card information on a fraud site and decided to use it to fund the project.
"He could have spent that money on anything, and he chose to put it to four weird puppet films," said Becky Sloan, according to the magazine. "In a way, it's nice he wanted to see it that much — but it did cause a lot of trouble."
Credit card fraud is, of course, a crime, but it doesn't seem like the 12-year-old hacker has gotten into much trouble yet. Online credit card marketplaces aren't difficult to come by — heck, there are videos promoting it on YouTube — and they're often the destination for information stolen in data breaches, like the massive one that hit Target shoppers last year and the one recently discovered at P.F. Chang's restaurants. So if a kid wants to fund his favorite online entertainment outlet, it's not surprising he figured out a way to make it happen. It's probably a better strategy than stealing Mom's credit card and risking getting grounded when she sees massive charges to Kickstarter on her bill.
Then again, he wasn't really successful. The fraudulent donations were thrown out, and the "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared" campaign wasn't fulfilled. That's the good thing about credit card fraud: Consumers aren't held liable for unauthorized activity (for the most part), but you still don't want to let thieves run amok with your credit. It's a good idea to check your card transactions regularly (even daily), and monitor your credit for signs of fraud, like a sudden drop in credit scores (you can check your credit for free through Credit.com). This may be a particularly wise habit to develop if you have teenagers with a raging passion for weird things and a love for the Internet — otherwise, you may end up unwittingly funding a life-size Robocop statue in Detroit.

Ryan from Celebrate Community Church in Sioux Falls, SD brings us this design that looks like circuitry.
They needed a stage solution that would launch a series ('The Voice', playing off the TV show), but would also be flexible enough to stand on it's own for a few subsequent months/ Several concepts later, they landed on a hodge-podge of primarily lighting-based elements. Loosely modeled after components from the TV show, this allowed for a series changeout, only requiring color/lighting changes.
Mostly inspired by other CSDI designs, the element breakdown was:
• Center wall: 1″x12″ framed 'box', faced with clear Coroplast with an abstract/angular design printed on it. Lit from the inside with five HotStiks. Four LED TVs mounted on the face, fed from a Mac Mini through a Gefen video wall processor. The TV's were mounted to custom backplates, which were U-clamped to 1″ steel tubes on the inside of the wall. Backplate sits on the inside of the Coroplast face, bolted to the TV on the outside to give them a 'floating' appearance, with no visible mounts.
• Ball Walls: 3″ styrofoam half-balls mounted on black plywood, downlit with HotStiks.
• Flash Towers: Seven 10″ work lamps, encased in a black plywood cabinet, fed through the lighting console, used primarily as crowd blinders.
• LED Strips: Hand-wired by a volunteer, LED tape, attached to 1″ aluminum strips, painted black. These were built in set lengths, so they can be reused in the future. Strips can be daisy-chained together in different configurations, and are DMX controlled through a custom built processor, thanks to the wizard volunteer.
This set mainly utilized components from past sets, so budget is tough to pinpoint.

Simple Acts of Kindness
Thank you to "Two Cannoli" for taking this great picture (The bluebonnets have particular meaning as they are wild here in Austin, Texas!) and for understanding that it only takes a second to notice an act of kindness done to you….or be aware of when an act of kindness can be offered to another.
That means we have all the time in the world to offer and receive acts of kindness. Do you think the world would be a different place if we committed not only to doing something that scares us every day, but also to notice when kindness has been offered to us and openly appreciate it, as well as be aware of when we can offer a simple act of kindness to another.
Sometimes the best are when you are least expecting it, or those secret ones where you will never know who the agent of kindness was!
Each of us knows how it feels to receive an act of kindness. It could be as simple as someone letting you onto a crowded road, a smile passing on the street, or going the extra step to offer service above and beyond what is expected. Over the past few days I have been the recipient as well as the giver of acts of kindness. I am particularly aware of them as a grand leap was taken last week by quitting a job and choosing instead to immerse myself in my own business. A somewhat stressful time yes, but because of this giving and receiving of kindness I am particularly aware of how very blessed I am! That has taken my attention!
The day after I quit my job I took myself to the nearest office supply store in order to get a new business calendar (no I don't have a smart phone etc – I actually do it the "old fashioned way") to plan and vision on. This store is a chain store and often times you don't expect the type of service you might find in a smaller privately owned establishment. However, within the space of the 10 minutes I was in there I was asked by 3 people whether they could help me find what I was looking for and smiles were exchanged each time. The crowning glory was the check out woman who first apologized for my having to wait for a minute or so and then while she was checking out my purchases we exchanged a very personal and loving dialog.
Her smile was huge as she said to me, "it is good to see you back again. I just saw you 2 days ago right?" and when I said no she told me "you have the kind of face everyone wants to remember!" As I shared with her that I had just quit a job the day before and was heading into being my own boss, she gave me a high 5 and said "don't give up!" A few more comments were exchanged and then it was time for me to leave the register. I looked in her eyes and thanked her for her attention, service and kindness and we both felt the love exchanged between two complete strangers.
Then yesterday it was my turn. I was doing my regular lap swimming and no one else was in my lane. Near the end of my time in the pool I looked up and there was a father with his young daughter about age 8 or so. I asked if she wanted to share the lane with me. At first hesitant she jumped in at her father's urging. I watched her swim beside me and noted that she was an amazing swimmer for her age. When I got back to the end of the lane they had changed to an open lane so that the father could be beside her. As her father jumped in I called out "your daughter is a great swimmer"! He didn't hear me, but she did as she kick boarded her way down the adjoining lane. The smile and thank you she gave me were brilliant!
Today it was time to receive and give as I was given service above and beyond the norm when a computer at the local Fed Ex store would not print my documents. Then I was able to give a simple act of kindness by stopping by a local herb/vitamin pharmacy to purchase some natural products for a very dear friend who has poison ivy creeping all over her body and drop them off at her house.
Though this has been an incredibly challenging post trauma growth period for me over the last week these simple acts of kindness given and received have reminded me that this is what life is about. Our connection with others is always there. We always have the choice to expand our awareness outwardly in a way that says "I care" and "I appreciate you"! The opportunities are limitless!

Today is Random Act of Kindness Day. At a certain point in your life you become aware that creating memories is really what "it" is all about. After all, once we leave for our trip to the great beyond, all that is left for our loved ones (aka descendants) are the memories that we have created with them. These are the stories we hope will be shared with future generations. The traditions we hope will be passed along as "I remember when Grandma and I..."
Today is Random Act of Kindness Day. I grew up with the very firm belief that "There but for the Grace of God Go I" Life changes in an eyeblink. And not always for the better. If not for God's grace, we could be in the circumstances of those we share this world with. Those we hopefully don't feel pity for, but rather, those we want to assist in finding life a better place to be. I believe we are born to be our brother's keeper to the best extent that we can. I have tried to instill in my children the understanding that others are no different from us. Only their circumstances are different. That's why I have taught them the importance of service. And have been richly rewarded this past month with both of them being recognized for their caring and commitment to others through their volunteering.
Today is Random Act of Kindness Day. Not one to miss the opportunity to grasp a teachable moment (my cousin always thought I would have been great at home schooling, but honestly, when would I ever get a break if they were home ALL DAY???), I rose early to bake a batch of shortbread. Warmly wrapped and smelling heavenly, we gathered our treats and headed off to say thank you to some of the service providers in our community. The paramedics, the police and the firefighters.
The service providers were genuinely thrilled to have been thought of. We had a great laugh en route to the three stations as we created very special memories together. The kids quicky decided I should be the spokesperson and they would be the gift bearers. No one in their schools was aware it was a special day. My day went to hell in a handbasket later on, but that was completely irrelevant. Years from now, our magic morning will be talked about around the dinner table by my children and their children and.....well, you get the idea. And memories will have been created and left behind for those who will crave clinging to them.

Netbook shipments have started cooling after witnessing an explosive surge since late last year as customers started realizing its limits and looking for portable and affordable alternatives for full-size laptops.
According to Xia Li, vice-president of Lenovo Group, growth in netbook sales during the second half of this year has slowed as consumers have started becoming more rational in their purchases.
"Netbook sales surged in the past as consumers bought the product as gifts or as first laptops," he said. But with consumers starting to realize the limits of the products, the growth has started to slow, Xia said.
He expected the growth would decline back to the industry average of accounting for 20 percent of the overall PC market in China.
According to figures from research firm DisplaySearch, global revenue from netbook sales reached $3.07 billion in the second quarter of this year, an increase of 264 percent compared with the same period last year.
In China, where telecom operators have pushed the product to promote 3G services, sales of netbooks grew substantially in the first half of this year. It was reported that around 200,000 to 300,000 netbooks are sold in China every month.
Dave Chan, vice-president of Hewlett-Packard China, said the fever for netbooks in the world's second largest PC market is cooling.
"Netbooks have design defects and are not suited for everyone," Chan said. According to him, the product sacrifices too much in performance and lacks long-term appeal.
Simon Ye, an analyst from research firm Gartner, said apart from the limited features netbooks are not so popular with computer makers as they offer lower sales profit margins compared with full-size laptops.
According to DisplaySearch, the average selling price (ASP) for netbooks has dropped almost 30 percent year on year in the second quarter, compared to a 10-percent decline for notebooks. The research firm said that despite rising shipments, sales of netbooks are dragging revenue for the overall laptop market.
Ye said many computer makers are also re-evaluating their netbook strategy as the global PC market has started showing signs of recovery.
The oversupply of netbooks in the first half of this year will also slow its growth in the second half, said Ye.

Frustrating Snetteron for Oliver and SGR Racing
The sixth round of the Pirelli National Superstock 600 Championship at Snetterton in Norfolk was a frustrating affair for Colchester's Tom Oliver and his SGR Racing Yamaha Team. What started as a promising weekend unfortunately ended with a DNF to show for all their hard work.
The fast, flat Snetterton circuit is usually a track at which Oliver shines and this weekend he was feeling confident and running at the front, qualifying in a steady eighth position.
Once the lights went out he surged straight into fifth place and battled hard to get into fourth position. Oliver and his SGR Racing Yamaha were on the pace and he really had his work cut out battling closely with his rivals. A podium position was on the cards when unfortunately Oliver tucked the front and went down at the fast Coram bend, thankfully unhurt.
Stephen Kinghorn, Team Owner said: "It really was a shame Tom crashed out but I was just thankful he got up and walked away as that is a very fast corner. The team had been working well all weekend and we felt confident of a podium finish as we know Tom and the bike have the pace. We can take a lot of positives from this weekend and put that all into the next round. I'd like to say a big thank you to Colin from 100% Suspension, he has really helped us a lot."
Tom Oliver said: "I'm gutted with how it all ended as I was really enjoying the race, it was a good battle. I'm sure we can pull it back at Brands Hatch. It's just one of those things, thankfully I'm not injured, so I'll put it behind me and concentrate on Brands Hatch."
The seventh round of the Pirelli National Superstock Championship is on 21st – 23rd July at Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit in Kent.

HARTFORD, Conn.-Sophomore Erin Lisko had a 5-for-8 day at the plate, with a run scored and two driven in on the day to help lead the Coast Guard softball team to a non-conference sweep of intrastate foe Trinity College. Freshman Kristine Kahl (5-2) picked up the win in the opener of the twin-bill for the Bears (9-5), while classmate Sammy Yuknat (4-3) kept the Bantams (7-5) in check during in the nightcap.
Game One: Coast Guard 9, Trinity 3 (8 innings)
In the first game on the day, the Bears got the scoring going early. In the top of the second, senior Stacia Sarwinski reached via a single to right, but an error allowed junior Kaitlin Ward to come around and score the game's first run.
Senior Catherine Walker added to her team-lead in home runs, as she led off the third with a solo shot to extend the Coast Guard lead to 2-0.
After Trinity pushed a run across in the bottom of the third, the bats went silent for an inning and a half before the Coast Guard fortunes, and one run lead, were turned upside down. Back-to-back doubles by junior Abigail Ostrom and freshman Erica Correia to lead off the bottom of the fifth caused the game to be tied up at 2-2. With one out junior Olivia Berry was put out, but Correia came in to score on the play and stake the Bantams to a 3-2 lead.
Down to their final inning Coast Guard was able to tie things up. Freshman Morgan Kingston led off with a double before being moved over to third on an at bat by Walker. Kingston would come in to score on a wild pitch with sophomore Kelsey Gray at the plate to ultimately send the game into extra innings.
In the top of the eighth, Sarwinski doubled home a pair of run to break the deadlock, before later coming around to score on a wild pitch with Gray at the plate. Sophomore Jessie Richardson singled two batters later to blow the game open to drive in two more runs and push the lead to 9-3.
Kahl, making her eighth start of the season, kept her team in the game throughout, despite surrendering nine hits, four walks, and three (earned) runs.
Game Two: Coast Guard 6, Trinity 3
Coast Guard scored four unearned runs in the seventh off freshman Trinity starter Hannah King, which proved to be more than enough as they triumphed with a thrilling 6-3 come-from-behind victory in the second game of the double-header. The middle infield combination of Kingston and Lisko combined for four hits - including a double apiece - with each driving in a run and scoring one of their own.
Once again, Coast Guard struck first in the second inning. After freshman Hannah Ingerson singled to start the inning and advanced to second on Ward's plate appearance, Sarwinski singled her home, advancing on the throw.
The Bears added another run in the fifth, courtesy of a Lisko double that chased in senior Summer Dupler from third base.
Coast Guard would make the 2-0 lead stand until the bottom of the sixth when sophomore Miranda Riendeau-Card blasted a three-run home to provide the hosts a 3-2 advantage.
The Bears would, however, come storming back in the top of the seventh. With one out and Walker at second, Kingston delivered an RBI double that sent in Ward. Three batters later, senior Holli Bastinck stroked a two-run single, plating Lisko and Kingston to break the deadlock. For good measure, Ingerson added a run-scoring single of her own, sending in Bastinck with the insurance before being thrown out at second, trying to take an extra base.
Yuknat, in her sixth start of the year, went the distance while allowing three (earned) runs on eight hits but managed to strike out four against only one walk.
The Bears return to action on Friday March 29th, as they travel to Cambridge to take on MIT in a NEWMAC double-header set to begin at 3:00 pm.

Magnolia Park was listed as one of the "Seven Must-Try Swimming Holes in Tennessee" in a BlueHealth Solutions feature in 2015. This revealed to the world what Houston County folks have known for generations - the swimming hole at Magnolia is paradise.
With Magnolia's picnic tables and rope swing all you need to add is water, and there's plenty of that from cool, clear White Oak Creek. So grab a towel and head to the spot that's been popular for so long that President James K. Polk made a campaign speech from its banks in 1844, more than 170 years ago.

It must be frustrating to have to be cautious all the time. I do love hazelnut coffee creamer.
Visiting from A to Z~
Wendy at Jollett Etc.
I'm allergic to macadamia nuts, but I do love hazelnuts! I imagine hazelnuts are harder to avoid. And you can't have nutella!! So sad!
Stopping by from the A to Z
Marie at www.marie-everydaymiracle.blogspot.com
Oh gosh, that's just about the cutest nickname ever! I'm sorry you're allergic... I just hope you're not allergic to anything you actually enjoy a taste for, because that would be tough. I actually love all nuts. The ones mentioned above are some of my faves (macadamias and hazelnuts). I also truly love almonds and pistachios. I even like those slightly gross Brazil nuts when they are mixed with other nuts... even though they sort of taste like a rotted peanut. I enjoy big handfuls of many nuts mixed together. That's one of my favorite snacks. :)

One of President Trump's final foreign policy decisions of 2018 was also among his most controversial: the withdrawal of the remaining 2,000 U.S. troops from Syria. The order was an astonishing reversal of U.S. policy, and it raised concerns among Washington national security professionals that the Kurds—who have served as U.S. allies in the fight against the Islamic State, or ISIS—will suffer losses while the Assad regime, Russia, and Turkey gain. This weekend, the president's national security advisor, John Bolton, seemingly reversed course again, announcing that U.S. forces would remain in Syria until ISIS was defeated and the Turks provided guarantees that they wouldn't strike the Kurds.
The actor who perhaps benefits above all others from the administration's back and forth on Syria is Iran. An American withdrawal would provide the Iranians with the operational space to expand their growing network of Shiite foreign fighters, who can be mobilized and moved throughout the Middle East. The recent announcements send Tehran the message that Washington will no longer be an obstacle in the way of these designs. Indeed, according to Bolton, the administration's preconditions for withdrawal have to do with the Kurds and ISIS: the national security advisor made no mention of the presence or expansion of Shiite militias trained and equipped by Iran.
In the early days of the Islamic Republic, which marks its 40th anniversary in February, Iran's clerical leaders often spoke about exporting their revolution beyond national borders. Although spreading revolutionary ideals is no longer among Iran's core objectives, the Islamic Republic has nonetheless spent decades cultivating ties with groups—particularly Shiites—in countries it considers important to its security. These connections link Tehran to constituencies in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Syria, and Yemen, among other places.
Starting with its cultivation of Lebanese Hezbollah, Iran has reaped immense benefits from waging proxy warfare and leveraging third-party combatants, including terrorists and militias. Working with non-state clients allows Tehran to

Weighing Motives
By Rick Boxx
August 5, 2011
A television commercial promoting a prescription drug intrigued me. At the beginning of the commercial, at the top of the screen, were the words, "Doctors may be compensated." The commercial then featured multiple doctors talking about the merits of this drug.
Although I appreciated the transparency of this drug company, it still created suspicion for me as to the value of the doctors' testimony for this product. They may deserve compensation for their time, but if I'm relying on someone's testimony, I also need to know and ponder their motive.
Proverbs 16:2 teaches, "All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the Lord."
Just as God weighs motives, we also need to consider the possible motivation of someone trying to sell us a product.

Keflavik International Airport is Iceland's main arrival point. Iceland's largest airfield stands on a peninsula, two miles west of the small town of Keflavik and 30 miles west of the capital Reykjavik.
Hire a car in Keflavik to explore the city and, if you are travelling with children, be sure to check out the Giantess in the Cave. Based on the fictional character from the Herdís Egilsdóttir book, this life-size replica is five metres high and sits in a rocking chair. For something a bit more educational why not take a trip to the Duushús Museum, where there are several exhibition halls including the Reykjanes Heritage Museum.
If you hire a car at Keflavik Airport the temptation is to head straight off to Reykjavik. If you've time, it's worth having a look at Kaflavik itself first though. This is an old fishing town with a small harbour and surrounded by old lava fields. Its attractions include a replica of Leif Eriksson's Viking longboat and the Blue Lagoon, an open-air thermal bathing spot. If you do drive to Reykjavik, you'll be able to see the main sights, including the shops, bars, restaurants, museums and the extraordinary modern Hallgrímskirkja Church, Iceland's tallest building.

When I spoke with this whistleblower earlier this year as part of my investigation of Census, she told me that hundreds of interviews that go into the Labor Department's unemployment rate and inflation surveys would miraculously be completed just hours before deadline. John Crudele, NY Post – LINK
It's pretty much been accepted for many years now that the economic data being reported by the Government is unreliable and fraudulently manipulated. Toxicity + toxicity does not equal purification. Not only does the Government manipulate the data to suit its needs – like reporting a sub-6% unemployment rate a month before mid-term national elections – but the data itself is one big fraud.
A whitleblower from the Denver Census Bureau office has opened up to the NY Post's John Crudele. I'm sure she took the story first to the Denver Post. But the Denver Post is nothing more than a megaphone for whatever news the powers that be want the hoi polloi to ingest. For instance, the Denver Post did not even report the story on the Goldman Sachs/Fed tapes.
At any rate, I encourage everyone to read the article linked at the top. In a testament to the complete criminality that has engulfed our political and economic system, I'm sure this story will be swept under the rug and this whistleblower will be silenced.
The oldest icon in American department/catalogue retail shopping, Sears, is on its way to bankruptcy. And the Fed continues to prop up the stock market while corporate insiders unload their shareholdings in record numbers. There is a collapse coming – it's just a matter of time. But have fun and don't worry about what you can't prevent. And get ready accept the implementation of a totalitarian regime that rivals that of the Third Reich.

Skater Owned Skateparks | Xsite Skatepark, Skegness
Having localised a variety of West Yorkshire skateparks over the past 15 years, I've seen first hand the benefit of skater-owned skateparks. Increasingly becoming a rarity in the UK, even more so than Skater-owned Shops (!) and with the recent demise of Frontside Gardens and Empire, we decided to begin this series celebrating the rarity that is the skater-owned skatepark!
I got in contact with a couple of skatepark owners to discuss the ins and outs of running a skatepark in 2017. First up is a few questions with Lee from Xsite Skatepark, Skegness!
Footitt goes bank to wall the hard way!
Hi guys, could you start off with a little history of your park?
We set up in 2000 as a group of Skaters and BMXers who were fed up of having nowhere to skate. We never dreamed of having anything like what we have now, we just wanted somewhere to skate without all of the hassle. We managed to get support from a couple of local councillors and the local development officer and it all snowballed from there. We set up Lincolnshire Extreme Sports Association, a registered Charity and non profit organisation and began applying for funding from Sport England and the like. Finally the funding came in and we were able to get the skatepark built. Massive mentions need to be made to Nick Bray who was part of the group from day one and without his drive and commitment none of this would be here now, hope you're enjoying the Aussie sunshine now you've emigrated!!!
Having been open for just over 10 years, and seen multiple changes including the outdoor plaza being built, wind turbine going in to subsidise energy use, and the 2013 refit of the indoor park, what's been the most rewarding thing to get done?
The most rewarding part was actually opening, and still being open today! No one thought we would get a skatepark, never mind staying open for so long.
How much of a pull for people has the miniramp been? For a long time it was (and still is) one of the best in the country!
The miniramp still is one of the best for sure and we still try to hold the UK Mini Ramp Champs here every year. Due to a lack of financial support from sponsors last year we have had to have a year out, but we are planning to hold it again this year bigger and better. If anyone is keen to support the event, get in touch!
Ryan Hurt Backside Airs at the 2013 Miniramp Champs
What would you say is the biggest challenge you've faced since running the park?
The biggest challenge by far is keeping the doors open! We rely on people coming through the door and paying to skate. We are not backed by a big company or business man who bails us out. We are a small group who have to pay bills and rents just to stay open. We know the struggles of skater owned parks and stores and it's never good to see one close.
Finally, what's the best thing about running a skatepark?
The best thing is seeing everyone skate, whether just for a session in an afternoon or when everyone comes together for an event. Seeing everyone from a kid coming for the first time or a rad dad getting back into it after a few years out its all the same.

Happy late Monday all!!! I started working 2 Mondays ago and I always come home very late and tired. So, I didn't get the chance to knit or crochet until last weekend.
What I am working on right now is a small bag for my lunch box. Something I want to have to prevent food from moving inside my backpack. Easier to organize things too if some things have their own little mini bags. Yes, sometimes I am overly OC. 😀
And I also started another cowl scarf. I found this amazing pattern online and I wanted to have one of the same. I will share the pattern once I finish this one.
It may take time to finish these projects because I am already working and I get to knit on weekends only.
How about you, what are you working on right now? Do share!
Also, don't miss out on my giveaway. It will be ending soon! Visit here for details.
Happy Monday WIPS!

text: Clio Blog Technology Posts Three Cybersecurity Safeguards for Law Firms Written by Clio Team Cybersecurity is big worry for law firms. Confidential information is entrusted to law firms by their clients, and hackers are starting to notice. Law firms of all sizes need to get serious about cybersecurity. Most states' ethics rules are not looking for perfect security, but reasonable efforts on the lawyer's part to secure information. What's a reasonable effort when it comes to cybersecurity safeguards for law firms? State regulators for lawyers have been mostly prescriptive, rather than descriptive on what a reasonable effort might entail. Fortunately, there is another source that lawyers can review that gives us an idea of what might be considered reasonable—but it's not from the legal sector. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) imposes new privacy standards on covered entities that handle medical records, and the business associates that serve those covered entities. Many lawyers that represent covered entities like doctors and hospitals, are finding themselves caught up in the business associate rules of HIPAA. HIPAA is requiring that electronic health information be protected "against any reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information." (CFR 164.306 (2)) In order to protect this sensitive information, HIPPA requires three types of safeguards for information to be considered reasonably protected: Administrative (CFR 164.308) Physical (CFR 164.310) Technical (CFR 164.312) Within each of these sections of the regulation, the safeguards list required and addressable (i.e. recommended) points that should be taken to protect sensitive information. This article won't list each safeguard type, but will focus on the required ones. Lawyers should read all of the safeguards in HIPAA to see which work best for their firm. Administrative Safeguards One Administrative safeguard listed is that firms need a security management process. They need to implement policies and procedures to prevent, detect, contain, and correct security violations. When polled during a Clio Webinar on cybersecurity, 65% of law firms attending did not have a security management process in place. Law firms need to develop and document a plan for ensuring cybersecurity to meet the standards of a reasonable security. Reasonable administrative safeguards would have at least the following required standards: Security Management Process with, Risk analysis Risk management Sanctions policy for workforce members that break company policy Information system security review (a procedure to review audit logs or access reports) Assigned security responsibility Workforce security Information access management Security awareness and training Security incident procedures Contingency plans that encompass, Data backup plans Disaster recovery plans Emergency mode operation plan Periodic technical and non-technical evaluations Written contracts with business associates utilized. Physical Safeguards Physical safeguards differ from the other safeguards in that they focus on access to the files or devices storing the files. Reasonable physical security safeguards would include the following HIPAA safeguards: Facility access controls Workstation use policies Workstation security Device and media controls, with Proper disposal procedures for devices that used to contain protected health information Media re-use procedures What's interesting about the physical safeguards is that cloud services easily provide better physical security than many law firms. Clio's data center has six different layers of physical security – including 24/7 security staff, visitor screening, biometric access controls, and even a mantrap for intruders! I don't know of any law firm that has a man trap (though many probably wish they did). Technical Safeguards The required technical standards in HIPAA that should be included in a reasonable cybersecurity policy include: Access control, with Unique user identification Emergency access procedure Audit controls Integrity controls to prevent improper alteration or destruction Person or entity authentication Transmission security, like encryption Again, cloud computing tends to excel over older solutions in meeting these standards. For example, Clio has built in audit controls, like our Account Sessions feature, which lets you know who access your data and from what IP. Addressing All Three Safeguards By now, you should notice that many of the safeguard standards overlap. Information access management (an administrative safeguard standard) can't really be separated from access control (a technical safeguard). This means that a reasonable security effort must take all three types of safeguards into account. Ignoring one is like removing a leg from a stool; you are going to fall. Cybersecurity remains an evolving standard. Lawyers need to implement it now, but must also plan for changes in the future. The three safeguards outlined in HIPAA should give each firm an idea of what they require to create reasonable security standards, even if they are not subject to HIPAA regulation presently. Using these safeguards as a basis, firms can protect themselves and their client data from any reasonably foreseeable intrusions.

Posted by Dr P. Senthil Kumar, National Geophysical Research Institute, Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, Hyderabad 500007, India.
Gullies are well-known geomorphic features on Earth where they are mainly formed by erosion due to flow of liquid water. They are also detected on Mars and the Moon and their origin on those bodies are under discussion (Malin and Edgett, 2000; Senthil Kumar et al., 2010). The gullies consist of alcoves (erosional features), channels (features indicating transportation) and fans or debris aprons (depositional structures). These features are clearly observed on the interior walls of impact craters on Mars and widely on the mountain slopes of Earth. Hence, geomorphologists use these features to examine the characteristics of liquid water flow either in the present or past geological records.
