In the first in a new series of blogs we map the Commonwealth organisations that are leading on business, entrepreneurship and trade. Each month our 'Commonwealth Signpost' series will profile what the Commonwealth is doing to address the biggest issues facing the world, and introduce you to the organisations leading the charge.
The advantages of doing business and trade between Commonwealth countries are well documented. Research by the Commonwealth Secretariat found that bilateral trade costs between Commonwealth partners are on average 19 per cent lower compared with those for other country pairs. There is a 'Commonwealth effect' – a common language, similar institutions, and a familiar legal environment – that makes doing business in the Commonwealth easier.
The role of the Secretariat's Trade, Oceans and Natural Resources Directorate is to facilitate this Commonwealth effect, with the trade programme assisting member countries in improving their trade competitiveness in global markets. Success stories include a feasibility study for a new dry docking facility on behalf of the government of Jamaica, who are now seeking international finance for the initiative. The Secretariat trade team is also facilitating a new network of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) from across the Commonwealth to connect them to the Indian supply chain. Meanwhile, the team has also produced a series of reports outlining opportunities for Jamaica, India and Kenya to make the most of 'post-Brexit' trade possibilities.
Promoting Commonwealth prosperity through the power of entrepreneurship and SMEs is a big focus for other Commonwealth organisations. Made up of government and business members, the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC) has launched its Commonwealth First initiative with the support of the Royal Mail. This exciting programme supports Commonwealth Export Champions in getting their products to Commonwealth markets. Currently recruiting its fourth cohort, the ambition is to expand to include SMEs from across the Commonwealth. CWEIC also runs the Commonwealth Business Forum, one of four forums that take place alongside Commonwealth Heads of Government Meetings every two years. The 2015 Forum in Malta saw a 1300 strong attendance by delegates from 75 countries, and was addressed by no less than 15 Heads of Government and 180 leaders from the Government and private sector. In 2018 the Forum will be hosted by the City of London and will cover everything from technological innovation to market access and green business.
Focal points for supporting business from the Commonwealth also happen across regional networks. The Birmingham Commonwealth Association (part of The Royal Commonwealth's Society's network of branches and associated organisations) will host its own trade conference in November. This initiative will provide insights for UK businesses in the Midlands wishing to increase business links with key Commonwealth partners like India, Malta and Jamaica. The Conference will represent a huge diversity of industries, from creative and digital entertainment, to electric vehicles, aviation support and higher education. Tickets are still available on the website for businesses who may be interested.
The Commonwealth is also home to four regional Commonwealth Alliances of Young Entrepreneurs. One of the most active is The Commonwealth Alliance of Young Entrepreneurs - Asia (CAYE- Asia), an enthusiastic network of young business leaders who are committed to promoting Young Entrepreneurship in the eight Asian Commonwealth countries, plus Nepal. Only established in 2011, CAYE-Asia is already engaging with governments, the private sector, the media and other stakeholders to champion the cause of young entrepreneurship from a local level all the way up to the international stage. Meanwhile, The Commonwealth Alliance of Young Entrepreneurs – Southern Africa recently co-hosted the 'I am an Entrepreneur' event in Malawi. The conference aimed to build legal and market knowledge among small and medium-scale business owners and prospective entrepreneurs in the region.
Empowering women in business is another key area supported by Commonwealth organisations. The Commonwealth Business Women's Network (CBWN) is a membership organisation working to encourage, enable and embed women in leadership and women's economic empowerment through trade, talent and training (the '3Ts'). It is currently working on an e-platform for connecting, collaborating and encouraging commerce for women in business and is collaborating on an international, gender sensitive MBA with the Commonwealth of Learning. The CBWN also champions successful women in business and female entrepreneurs through its awards programme with winners announced on the side of the Commonwealth Heads' of Government Meeting.
This blog is not exhaustive. If we have missed out an organisation feel free to leave us a comment below. You can read the next post in the series on sustainability and climate change here.

Feast of Holy Child
2nd Sunday after Epiphany
January 17, 2016
The Rev. Leonard Oakes
God reveals himself in many ways and forms. In the Old Testament, God revealed himself as the creator of all that live upon the earth and in the heavens. God revealed himself as the Spirit hovering above the face of the water. God created us in His own image. God revealed himself to Moses in the burning bush and in the liberation of Israel from their bondage in Egypt when they crossed the Red Sea to the promised land. God revealed himself to Israel as the liberator, great provider. In the New Testament, God revealed himself in the person of Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son whom God sent to save the world from our sinfulness and restore us back to Him. God revealed himself through a messenger proclaiming that a Child Jesus, the Holy Child of God will be born and be among us. The child grew up in wisdom and grace and elevated the people's understanding of God by showing them that everything is possible with God when we love God, love ourselves and our neighbors, that God is not confined in one's country and territory, that God is a universal God where there is neither Jews nor Gentiles but only One God for all and that includes all, regardless of color, ethnicity, race, age, gender and whatever background one may have, for God loves us all.
And that's how God revealed himself here at Holy Child and St. Martin. As a symbol of the presence of God and his miracles.
St Martin Parish during the 60's was used to be a very popular and people filled parish with a lot of young people in their Sunday School and in their acolyte ministries. But diversity was not popular in this place then. 98 % were Europeans, and the other 2 % were one Japanese/Chinese family, who happened to be the Children of Elsie and Ernest Ching, and another black family have been attending their Sunday school. During the late 80's however, part of the property of the Church where the houses around the corner are now situated has to be sold to support the salary of the priest and also to pay some of their loans from the Diocese. After which, the number of membership declined for many reasons, until only about 30 or less members were faithfully worshiping here.
On the other side of San Francisco, a group of about 50 or more Filipino families have been worshiping in an in law space at St. Barnabas started by then Fr. Sancho Gaerlan and succeeded by then Fr. Vito Villalon. It was said, "St. Barnabas congregation have the people but they are in need of a bigger space, while St Martin has the space but is in need of people." Bishop William Swing saw that need. And because the bishop has the authority over mission stations, he made the two congregations agree to merge in Daly City during the early 1990's and there emerged the name Holy Child and St. Martin. Now some of the original St. Martin's didn't like the idea of having St. Martin after the name Holy Child because they were here first, hence it was suggested that the name should be St. Martin and Holy Child. But theologically, God, the Holy Child should precede first before a disciple or Saint Martin. This idea was not acceptable to some and they left. But there were those who stayed and faithfully served this church. Since then, this church grew up in number until today. Look around you, see the diversity that God made us. The beauty of our diversity is when we all work together for the glory of God. That each culture is recognized and lifted in our midst. One does not dominate the other, but rather it is our joy to have another more in our family. There's a plenty good room in God's house. I want you all to remember that, plenty good room in God's house and it is our joy to welcome more. Let us welcome all with genuine heart and continue to respect and recognize each other in all our doings for the glory of God. God turned water into wine!
And so today, I greet you happy Santo Nino Fiesta day!
The story of Santo Nino came to us in many different ways. I was reading the article of our brother Gino Soberano on the origin of Santo Nino. In his article he wrote, "Sto. Nino originated in Europe in the early 15th century. It spread its popularity throughout the Christian world including the Philippines after Ferdinand Magellan had discovered the Island in 1521. It was later discovered that the reason the Island of Cebu in the Philippines accepted and welcomed the group of Ferdinand Magellan was because they introduced the Holy Child Jesus in that community, which they relate of their own belief of a child saving that island from disasters. The Holy Child traces its roots in a small town in Prague where the Holy Infant image was molded in a wax form and given as a gift to an Empress. Even Queens possessed this Holy image. From generation to generation, it has been told that in different places in Europe and in many different countries, the Holy Infant Jesus worked miracles where he was honored and adored. He turned barren towns into prosperous cities. He turned Churches alive with people, he cured many diseases."
In 1993, the Holy Infant Jesus Replica was airlifted from Manila to San Francisco and was officially enthroned by Bishop William Swing of the Episcopal Diocese of California on that same year With The Rev. Vito Villalon as the Vicar. Mng. Gino revealed to us of an inscription he once read, "The more you honor me, the more I will bless you."
In April of 2005, the church was devastated with fire coming from the office of Fr. Rico, the Vicar at that time. It was the night before Easter Sunday. My memory of that devastating moment is still vivid. A church neighbor, Nollet Mata called me on the phone at around 11 PM. His voice was filled with worries as he reported to me, "Fr. Leonard the church is on fire" I immediately called fr Bayani who was living in Vallejo and informed him of the incident. I rushed to the church and saw the fire and smoke from the church office. I was enveloped with fear and started to shiver as I prayed to God to spare the church. I Introduced myself to the Fire battalion chief as the assistant priest of the church. He asked me to come with him and walked me through the smoke into the church. I saw the unimaginable shattered and melted windows and interior part of the church. I knelt at the altar for brief prayer and as I rose, I noticed the Santo Nino has never been damaged or burned nor any slight melt happened. I had goose bumps. I've never been that much of a santo Nino fun until I myself had witnessed the miracle that just happened in my very eyes. He transformed me that day. I remember what my mom told me that the sto. Nino is a patron of water. That to me and the rest of us is a miracle that happened in this Church.
Yet, a miracle continues to happen in this Church. People have been healed and touched. With your presence and more others to come, bringing forth your talents, time, treasures and skills before God in this Church is certainly a miracle worth celebrating. Because this Church is Alive! There is life among us shared in every moment we come together for worship. This church was baptized with both the baptism of fire and water and we live to witness and share that miracle.
What happened here during that Good Friday night needs to be shared. We need to share the love of God in sparing us from dissipation and restored us to become more stronger and blessed. We need to share the love, the joy and the light that we receive from God. Sharing the grace we enjoy to those who are deprived of having them; the poor, the unemployed, the homeless and the uninsured. We are bound to share the blessings of our Health and Wellness Ministry to the rest of the community. Such is the outward visible sign of the inward grace that we receive from God. We have become the beacon of hope in this place, sharing the stories of those who are lost and bringing them to light.
God continues to be with us because we recognize his presence and his love. Miracles will continue to be revealed in this place where new wine, new spirit of love is shared. Just like what the Gospel tells us today. Jesus turned water into wine.
I remember in seminary when we had a regular morning Eucharist. The celebrant found that the wine have been emptied and didn't know what to do. He prayed and after prayer, he asked the sacristan to get Coca Cola and gin tonic, mixed it and used it as the Eucharistic wine. Turning drinks into Eucharistic wine.
A small boy was asked by a visiting relative if he attended Sunday school.
When he said he did, he was asked, "What are you learning?"
"Last week," came the reply, "our lesson was about when Jesus went
to a wedding and made water into wine."
"And what did you learn from that story?" the relative inquired.
After thinking for a moment, the lad answered, "If you're having a
wedding, make sure Jesus is there!"
It is indeed when Jesus is present in our midst that things become possible. When Mary found about the lack of wine, she immediately thought about Jesus and said to the attendant to just do what Jesus wants him to do. Jesus revealed his glory – and his disciples put their faith in him.
Jesus' turning water into wine is itself a picture of all that he came to do. Jesus takes what is and shows us that it has the possibility to become something else. Something that is renewed and reenergized. That which is tired, worn out, devoid of joy, empty, and lacking purpose can be transformed. It can be turned into something rich, fragrant, and ripe with the fullness of joy through his presence, through his care.
The miracle in Cana also tells us that Jesus can bring new life. He can fill the emptiness in our lives – he can take whatever it is that we bring to him – no matter how little – or how much – and utterly remake it – giving to it a good taste which is beyond the best that we ourselves are capable of providing.
It is when we recognize the presence of God in our midst and do what is pleasing in God's sight, that God reveals himself to us. May we continue to make miracles in this place and beyond, by sharing our stories, our compassion and love for all. Amen.

I saw a picture posted on facebook the other day that said, "God is not mad at you. He's mad about you!"
Is this a true statement? Not entirely. D.A. Carson helps shed some light on the issue for us:
The thesis that God hates sin but loves sinners:
There is a small element of truth in this thesis. God always *hates sin; he is invariably and implacably opposed to it. And it is true that God loves sinners: God 'demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us' (Rom. 5:8; cf. John 3:16). Nevertheless the thesis, with its simplistic antithesis between the personal sinner and sin in the abstract, is mistaken. The same apostle who declares that God's wrath is revealed from heaven against 'all the godlessness and wickedness of men' (Rom. 1:18) also speaks of God's wrath against individuals (Rom. 2:5); indeed we are all 'by nature children of wrath' (NRSV). The first fifty Psalms repeatedly describe the kinds of people on whom God's wrath rests, not just the kinds of sin. Indeed, the language can move from God's wrath to God's hate and abhorrence: 'The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong. You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the Lord abhors' (Ps. 5:5-6, NIV).
None of this means that God's wrath is arbitrary or whimsical. In Scripture, God's wrath, however affective, is the willed and *righteous response of his holiness to sin. God's holiness, like God's love, is intrinsic to the very being of God; his wrath is not. To put the point another way: God has always been holy, as he has always been love; he has not always been wrathful. But where his holiness confronts the rebellion of his creatures, he must be wrathful (and the entire sweep of the Bible's storyline insists he is), or his holiness is anemic. Yet for all that he is not less the God of love.
Do you understand? God indeed hates sin and loves sinners; but, He also hates sinners. God hates sinners so much that He poured out His hate toward sin and toward sinners on His Son; so that those who come to Him through Jesus will not experience the hate of God, but only His merciful love.
If you only tell people, "God hates sin, but loves sinners" or "God is not mad at you. He is mad about you." You necessarily diminish the gospel and the awfulness of the cross of Christ. And thus, you indirectly diminish the wonder, grace, and love proven through the cross. Through the cross God saved people that He formerly hated; through the cross God hated His Son so that He could love sinners. God looked at Christ with all His hatred toward sin and sinners, so that He could look on sinners with all His love for His Son.
The cross: what a horribly wonderful salvation!
What are your thoughts?

After grim youth unemployment figures on Wednesday revealed the number of under 25s out of work has smashed the 1m barrier for the first time since 1986, the Government is keen to show it is "doing all it can" to tackle joblessness.
Today the Prime Minister will be announcing that businesses will be able to bid for cash to run apprenticeship schemes and cut the number of young jobless. Under the plans, companies will get the power to design, develop and buy the vocational training programme that most suits their needs, Mr Cameron will say.
From next year, employers will be invited to bid for a share of £50m, rising to £200m in the second year subject to evidence of high-quality schemes being run by business.
The money will be diverted from colleges and other training providers and given directly to firms whose bosses successfully apply for grants by showing how their staff and potential employees will benefit.
The proposal was mooted by manufacturers' body the EEF on Tuesday as a way of overhauling the bureaucratic apprenticeship system, often seen as not giving employers enough control to businesses looking to train their staff.
Mr Cameron said: "I know times are tough – especially for young people – who are trying to get their foot in the door and launch their career. That is why I am determined to do all that we can to give people the very best skills, training and opportunities to succeed; and why despite tough spending decisions we are investing in record number of apprenticeships.
"We are seeing an incredible take up of these apprenticeship places. I want that to continue, which is why we are taking action to make it easier to take on apprentices, and now we are giving employers the power to take control of the training so that it best meets the skills they need.
"I hope this radical new approach will encourage even more employers to take on apprentices and ensure that the UK workforce has the skills we need to boost growth."
A total of £50m will be available for the first year of the scheme, with another £200m in the second.
Businesses of all sizes and from all sectors can apply for cash from the New Year.
The scheme comes one day after Business Secretary Vince Cable announced a incentive scheme, worth up to £1,500, for small businesses employing fewer than 50 staff, to entice them to take up more apprentices. Mr Cable said: "We have to fundamentally alter the relationship between employers and the state – giving employers the space and opportunity for greater ownership of the vocational skills agenda, including the chance to bid for direct control of public funds.
"This will encourage greater competition in the market as we strive for sustainable growth."
Charlie Mayfield, who chairs the John Lewis Partnership and the UK Commission for Employment and Skills – which has campaigned for firms to have more control over vocational training – said: "Too often the skills system appears to businesses as a Government-led enterprise rather than one led by employers.
"We need more businesses working together with their supply chains, sectors or localities to develop the skills they need.
"The best way to do this is to route funds directly to employers, placing the responsibility and reward for how money is spent with the employer, not Government."
Ministers hope the first taxpayer-funded projects will start late next year.

Do you know how hard it is to keep a good rant going? It's not easy. Thank God there's gin to fuel the fires of righteous indignation. TG has been getting mail of the -- "Well, TG, I didn't think you were the type of guy who would love a book like The Fifty Shades of Grey" – variety. These people don't seem to understand the thinking behind this ongoing rant, so TG will briefly explain it one more time. Try to stay with him…
TG did not love Shades. It was perfectly fine and hit all the buttons that a hundred million women wanted hit. (Which says a lot about the state of the average American male and his inability to give women what they are looking for. But that's another rant.) What upsets TG, is handing literary book reviewers the job of reviewing the Fifty Shades book, and the movie, almost all of whom pronounced the results as "terrible." Fortunately, this method of assigning reviews is not a normal practice. Magazines and periodicals and websites don't usually assign literary critics to review popular fiction. But once a book becomes a phenomenon, in this case by selling a hundred million copies, everyone feels the need to weigh in. And when weighing in they usually assume a superior attitude and proceed to point out the many failings that we, the unwashed are prey to because of our taste in popular fiction. This is what TG objects to: the unfair opinions that we are inferior and they, with their literary tastes, are superior.
Example. Here's that pompous ass Harold Bloom on Stephen King. "That [the National Book Foundation] could believe that there is any literary value [in King's body of work] or any aesthetic accomplishment or signs of an inventive human intelligence is simply a testimony to their own idiocy."
TG had a long list of items like the above Bloom quote that he was going to put in this entry: definitions of different types of fiction, lists of popular novels that had earned a hundred million readers over the years, much shorter lists of successful literary novels, but, as always, he's lost all of these various pieces of info and he's too damned lazy to look it all up again. So he's going to go straight to the genesis of the rant, which is…
The Honey Badger.
Because, my friends, the Honey Badger Just Don't Give a Shit.
If you don't know what TG is talking about, go here and watch the short Honey Badger video.
Here's the point: popular entertainment, be it books, films, music, art or any other form of popular culture, is the Honey Badger. Fifty Shades of Grey, 100 million women strong, is the Honey Badger. Stephen King is the Honey Badger. So to the high minded, the superior, those that feel the need to tell the rest of us how we are small-minded and our tastes inferior, be aware of the following.
We are the Honey Badger.
And we really, truly, do not give a shit what you have to say.

Few things in nature have as lovely a patina as copper. The patina is beautiful enough to have warranted its very own title: verdigris. Because of the rarity of antique copper tubs, we've come up with an alternative: trompe l'oeil. French for "fool the eye", trompe l'oeil is a hand applied art form that has existed since the Renaissance. The copper green ebbs and flows in varying depth to mimic a verdigris patina. This finish was applied by hand by a single artisan, making this clawfoot tub a one of a kind. The interior is refinished in bright white, as are the feet. The crisp white of the feet contrasts brilliantly against the brutal verdigris of the tub body. This Vintage Roll Top Claw Foot tub was professionally refinished by re in Crowley LA and features new fixtures by Kingston Brass. All fixtures and drains are set up for Schedule 40 Plumbing (the most common), so renovations are a snap. The finish on the tub has a 5 year warranty.

WASHINGTON: Meet the new plan, same as the old plan. Yesterday, Republicans immediately rejected President Obama's proposal to stop sequestration — the automatic spending cuts set to kick in March 1st and hamstring Army, Air Force, and Navy readiness, according to Pentagon documents — as a retread of tax-hike proposals he's been making since 2011. This afternoon, not to be outdone, a bicameral band of GOP legislators will re-introduce a stop-sequester bill from February 2012.
"It's a reprise" of last year's bill, one GOP staffer told Breaking Defense.
"We will be reintroducing the Down Payment to Protect National Security Act that would pay for one year of defense and non-defense sequestration by requiring a reduction in the federal workforce through attrition," echoed a Senate aide. "There are some slight modifications."
It's a "rehash," agreed a third staffer, advising Breaking Defense to "skip" this afternoon's roll-out. (We won't).
Obama's proposal would have staved off sequestration temporarily through a "balanced" approach that both cuts spending and raises tax revenues — which Republicans consider deeply unbalanced because they accepted significant tax hikes in the last band-aid deal on New Year's Day.
"In January, he got $600 billion in new revenue — where were the spending cuts?" asked Sen. Kelly Ayotte, the bill's lead Senate sponsor, Sen. Kelly Ayotte, in an appearance this morning on the GOP-friendly Fox & Friends.
"Taxes are decided," House Armed Services Committee vice-chairman Mac Thornbery told Breaking Defense a week ago. The well-respected Texas Republican, a level-headed and non-partisan leader on defense issues, expressed the new GOP consensus that, rather than accept the President's terms, it would be better to let sequestration go into effect, if only for a month or so, and use the resulting crisis to force Democrats to bend.
Of course, that strategy assumes that Democrats aren't counting on the pain of sequestration to force Republicans to bend. This is how teenagers playing "chicken" end up in a head-on crash.
Today's GOP proposal hardly improves matters. With modest modifications, it repeats a proposal that already went nowhere: stave off the sequestration cuts for a fiscal year by requiring federal agencies to downsize their work force through attrition — hiring only one new civil servants for every three who leave — until the total workforce has fallen by 10 percent. (Note that Congress would still have to make up the other nine years of sequestration cuts, totaling about a trillion dollars, somewhere else; nor does the bill address the separate problem of the Continuing Resolution now funding the federal government in the absence of a proper appropriations bill). For Defense, this downsizing merely returns the Department to staffing levels as of 2009, when DoD had enough civil servants to handle the height of the Iraq War.
So it's not an implausible idea; in fact, as Ayotte noted this morning, it's based on a proposal from "his [the President's] own fiscal commission." But Democrats rejected slashing the civil service a year ago and they haven't gotten any less dependent on federal workers' unions than they were then. Conversely, Republicans have fought the Democratic tax hikes that would disproportionately affect the GOP's donors in the business community.
"He's concerned obviously about sequestration," Ayotte said of the President this morning. "We are too — but new taxes are not the way to go. Why don't we really look at the big picture?"
But with both parties retreading old proposals, that big picture looks awfully bleak.

The question of database resiliency comes up frequently on O-box proposals – I've recently blogged about it, but thought I'd try and shed a little light on the trade-offs from an O-box appliance perspective.
Firstly, let's recap these database options:
- Real Application Clusters (RAC) is the most sophisticated version of the Oracle Database and allows multiple instances to run concurrently on the same data on different nodes (2 in the case of ODA).
- RAC One Node (RON) is a variant of RAC when the RAC cluster is still provisioned but a database is only allowed to be active on one at any given time (except during switchover during maintenance periods).
- Enterprise Edition is the traditional single-instance Oracle Database which, on ODA, is always running on ASM. With O-box it can be started on either node, but to move it from one node to the other requires a brief outage.
Secondly, there's Oracle's "10 day fail-over rule" which in essences says that you can install Oracle software, without requiring a licence, on a second node attached to the same storage to act as a standby. This second node can only be activated on 10 separate occasions or up to a total of 10 days per year, and obviously if the node is used for anything else the software must be licensed. See the Software Investment Guide for details.
Whilst as I pointed out in my blog the it costs nearly 3x the licence price to run RAC as compared to just Enterprise Edition, once you consider the database as part of the other Oracle licences required for an O-box SOA appliance, the difference is not so marked. E.g. for a recent O-box SOA 12c quotation the RAC options added the following:
- RAC One Node: +4%
So as you can see, in a real-world scenario maybe RAC is not quite as expensive as it might at first appear. The key questions you need to answer are:
- How important is it to avoid unplanned outages (if availability matters above all else then you should choose RAC)?
- How easy it is for you to get agreed downtime and how sociable are those hours? E.g. if you can get downtime on most weekdays from 10pm your view will be different than if it's only possible on a Sunday morning from 3-5am with 2 months' notice.
Note that there are two factors that would apply to more general database systems which don't really apply to the ODA / O-box combination:
- complexity of installation: whilst it's definitely true that installing Grid Infrastructure (Clusterware & ASM) is more complex than just a single-instance database, ODA handles all that for you.
- management of fail-over: again O-box has this one covered – the database (whether EE, RON or RAC) and WebLogic is automatically set up to work together in a pre-tested, robust configuration.
Remember that as of today, whilst highly available, it is not possible to keep an Oracle SOA Suite platform fully up to date and yet maintain 100% availability. The same is true for the Oracle Database Appliance – sooner or later you need an Infrastructure patch which cannot be applied in a rolling manner. Therefore if an unplanned outage would cause a large financial loss or impact on your reputation then that is probably sufficient justification for RAC; otherwise RON or Enterprise Edition is likely to be more than adequate.
In a future post I will describe the typical behavior following ODA node failure on O-box for the 3 types of database configuration so stay tuned!

This week features the books at the top of my Spring TBR list. I am a very moody reader so I don't put books in any particular order to read. I just pick up what I want and if I know a book needs to be read by a certain date I make sure it gets done. So I don't really have a list with the next ten books I'll be reading cause I have no clue. So I just went with books I know I'll be reading this Spring because they are books I am eagerly anticipating and will be reading the moment I have them in my hands or they are books I know I am getting to soon. Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by. Link me!

I can't stand sorry (not sorry) I haven't been blogging lately posts. Yet, here I am writing one anyway. I think it is because I like to pretend that I am so popular that people noticed and/or missed me.
Sidebar Confession: I really have no desire to be "popular." That just seems like a big ball of drama that is not worth it. Also, I would need a cuter rug. That seems to be a major mark of popularity – how many people ask you were you got your rug when it shows up in a photo on instagram.
I am a little rusty with this whole words to the screen thing, so I thought I would do the reasons I am not blogging in list form. Excitement! Formatting! Adventure!
- No one cares. Including myself.
- Spencer and I have decided that it is crucial to finish all the levels on Angry Birds Go! before the baby comes.
- My husband is working different hours and I get the TV all to myself after Spencer goes to bed. I've watched House of Cards (I am unable to even think the name of that show without going "House of Lies. Cards. The Kevin Spacey one on Netflix" because I keep getting it confused with the Don Cheadle one), the last season of Sherlock and a whole bunch of movies he would hate. Tiny Furniture, seriously, what the fuck.
- I am trying to clean out the house to make more space for the baby besides a drawer.
- House Hunters
- I waste all of my good material in facebook chat with Suzanne.
- Books. (I am going to read 52 this year instead of 50. So far I have read three. I haven't made a post yet because
lazybusy reading.
- I don't have much to say that isn't ack! baby coming! not ready! and that is a) boring and b) covered on twitter.
- Social Media really did kill my blog and I don't care.
- Do I need a 10 just to be a completist?

Merck set to create 70 jobs in Cork facility
Move part of €55m investment in facility, company says
Up to 70 new jobs are to be created at medical science and technology company Merck. The positions have become available following the official opening on Tuesday of manufacturing and R&D facilities at their key strategic site in Carrigtwohill, Co Cork.
Martin McAuliffe, site leader, says the speciality membrane facility (SMF) and chromatography media facility (CMF) represents a € 55million investment in Merck's Cork operation, reinforcing the strategic importance of the Carrigtwohill site to the wider Merck Group.
"We are adding R&D capability to develop and scale up. A plant in the US is closing so the development of membranes will be done in Cork.We also do antibody development on-site. We will be adding 60 to 70 new positions initially with additional positions in the next 18 months."
Mr McAuliffe stresses the company has a big footprint in the Carrigtwohill area and is considered a site of excellence by management internationally.
"It is a very positive company. We have great people here. It is seen as a place of energy and capability. We had the CEO of the company here last year and senior leaders are here for the opening. The new sites are great for the area with the knock on effect for service companies and so on."
Merck has had operations in Ireland since 2010 and currently employs 700 people. Almost 400 specialist contractors were employed during the design and construction phase which commenced in 2014.
The new state-of-the-art facilities position the Carrigtwohill site as the membrane centre of excellence within the Merck network and provides the additional ability to manufacture specialised life science products for the market.
It is the intention that the speciality membrane facility will be the location of choice for the development and manufacture of all future Merck life science membrane products. The new chromatography media facility will provide the site with advanced technological capabilities, further strengthening the Irish operation as the main supplier to the Merck life science chromatography business.
Merck is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Its headquarters is located in Germany.

Movie Review: Red Lights
Cillian Murphy in RED LIGHTS, an Alliance Films release
During his introduction of his latest film, Red Lights, director Rodrigo Cortes (who last directed the enjoyable if flimsy Buried) took to the stage at the TIFF Bell Lightbox and explained that he hoped the audience would dispel any of their preconceived expectations for the film. He felt the film would be better enjoyed by the open-minded viewer, which might have been his code word for a viewer that likes bad movies. Because that's what Red Lights is.
The film is about psychologist Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver) and her assistant Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy), and we find them in the opening scene travelling to a house in order to disprove a family that thinks their house is haunted. Matheson seems obsessed with the idea that there are no supernatural or superhuman abilities to be found, and she and her assistant seem to travel around specifically to make sure nobody ever thinks there are, both to smaller sites like a family home and theatres where popular psychics deceive paying customers into seeing what they hope is real.
When one such popular psychic, Simon Silver (Robert De Niro), comes out of retirement, Buckley wants to investigate him, but Matheson deems it too dangerous due to the mysterious death of one of Silver's critics. The movie continues to offer its audience questions about their own faith, and we see Buckley deal with the obsession that comes with wanting to know the answer to such questions.
The problem is that, despite a premise that seems like it should be ripe for a decent horror/thriller hybrid, this is simply not a good movie. It certainly has enough interesting ideas packed into its running time, but the ideas all become jumbled and that overabundance leads to the film feeling discombobulated as a whole. Similarly, the film makes little sense: Silver's return to the stage from retirement seems to throw a whole metropolis into upheaval, and the prospect of being able to see Silver in the flesh seems to be the only thing the news media wants to address. Finally, the film commits some pretty atrocious crimes of exposition, crimes that are never more severe than in De Niro's introduction. As we see Silver walk off his private airplane while wearing sunglasses, he stands just outside the door for a moment, surveying his surroundings, before taking off his sunglasses to show us that he's blind, and then immediately puts the sunglasses back on, which is something no blind person has done, ever. It's a small moment, but it's one that shows how big some of the movie's missteps are.
After the film, Cortes explained how he feels there are two genres of film: good films, and bad films, with Cortes saying he enjoys each genre. That seemed to be Cortes way of saying that this film isn't necessarily good, but it is meant to be merely entertaining. Which it is, kind of. The whole film is about the dichotomy between skeptics and believers, which can easily reflect the audience that is watching Red Lights. If you are the type of person who wants to buy into an absurd world presented to you by filmmakers, if you are the type to not necessarily believe in this world but like it enough to let that slide, you might find Red Lights entertaining. Should you be a viewer who is more inclined to take Matheson's side of the argument on psychics, you will probably hate how nonsensical this movie is. You are probably not the type of person who appreciates a modern Nicolas Cage film, which Red Lights more or less is. And when Cillian Murphy goes full Nic Cage in the movie, Red Lights says more about your taste in film than it ever does about the paranormal. It might be a bad movie, but that doesn't make it inherently unenjoyable… It just doesn't make it a movie that deserves a high rating.

This blog has previously expressed skepticism about the idea of a manufacturing renaissance in the United States. The latest jobs data does little to challenge that notion.
In March, 3,000 jobs were lost in the segment, the latest BLS data show. Now, any one month can produce its share of anomalies. More worrying is that job growth in manufacturing seems to be petering out.
Measured on a year-over-year basis, manufacturing job growth has slowed from 1.8% down to just 0.6% in March. Jobs growth in the broader U.S. economy also has seen slowing, but not to that degree: from 1.7% in August to 1.4% in March.
The Economist last week had an explanation for this, and not a particularly kind one: Americans just aren't skilled enough, relative to China and other competitors, to warrant more manufacturing jobs. A more charitable reading from Time suggested that maybe the U.S. is just having trouble measuring manufacturing employment.
That's not to say there aren't some legitimately positive elements to the manufacturing story, notably the ability to tap cheap natural gas. But on the employment side, manufacturing has a long way to go.
See more charts on the U.S. employment report.

Tzant produced the UK Top 15 "Sound of the wickedness" and the
label on the promo cd says they're a "breakbeat duo". Hmmm. One
of them, producer Jamie White, is half of PF Project, which was responsible
for "Choose life" a dancefloor anthem featured on the
"Trainspotting 2" soundtrack album (a sort of second album of
soundtrack music from the Irvine Welsh inspired drugged-up smash hit
film of the 90's) sampling Ewan McGregor's dialogue from the film
itself. This single is too cheap and fails to repeat the success of its
predecessors. Featuring a 70's bassline and funky guitar that seem borrowed
from Deee-Lite plus (argh! not that!) a breakbeat last used with some
credibility by Moby in 1995, if I'm not wrong (yes, the infamous Coldcut/Eric
B & Rakim or -if ya prefer- PM Dawn "Set adrift
on memory" drum loop), an old scratching sample apparently from -hey!
not again- Coldcut's Eric B remix track (double aaargh), a human beatbox
intro and rapper Marcel Atteen, it just sounds like an imitation of the
Outhere Brothers minus the swearwords. There are 3 versions, the last
one is the worst, with L-Dopa's unimaginative 4-beat.

Jerry Miller spent more than 25 years behind bars for kidnapping, rape and robbery — crimes he didn't commit.
Miller was released from prison in 2006. In 2007, after decades of insisting he was innocent, Miller was finally vindicated: He became the 200th American to be cleared by DNA evidence of a wrongful conviction. Today, that number is closer to 350.
Miller's story is now part of a new book called Anatomy of Innocence. It fleshes out personal accounts of wrongful convictions, with a twist: In each chapter, a mystery or thriller writer tells the story of a real-life exoneree.
Miller was paired with John Mankiewicz, an executive producer of the Netflix show House of Cards. Their chapter goes beyond the years Miller spent behind bars, and describes life after prison but before exoneration, when Miller had to wear an ankle bracelet, keep a 9 p.m. curfew and register as a sex offender. He couldn't attend nieces and nephews' birthday parties because he wasn't allowed to be around children.
Miller shares his memories of the day he was exonerated, and Mankiewicz discusses the challenges of telling Miller's story.
Interview Highlights
On how Miller managed to stay hopeful after his conviction
Miller: I had a life to live, so I had to choose how I wanted to live it, you know. What comes from a man who is negative and basically is mad at the world because he was wronged? You can't, I can't function — I couldn't function like that. And I couldn't draw people to my aid like that. You just have to accept what has happened and grow from it. You know, to just walk around angry, you know, in some cases an angry old man — I mean, that's a waste of the rest of your life. I'm more practical than that. I made a logical decision to do positive things and to think positive.
On the day Miller was exonerated
Miller: Even now I kind of get a little shook. ... I was getting ready to get my life back. I knew it was going to happen. It was strange and, you know, my family, we basically had a caravan. We rode out to the [Cook County, Ill.,] court building down at 26th and California. And everybody was dressed sharp and, you know, was happy for me. And I just was real proud that I didn't give up. ...
When they called me up before the judge, I passed through people who was waiting to have their cases heard or whatever, and they saw the news media and they was like, "Who is that? Who is that? What's going on?" ... I'm hearing them, but I'm focused. I have to go up here and maintain my cool in front of this judge. And so when it all happened and they saw what was taking place, everybody — it was a lot of people, you know, waiting — and everybody started clapping.
On how writing Miller's story was different from writing House of Cards
Mankiewicz: I felt a big responsibility to tell the story right. ... I had a very small audience of one [Miller] that I cared about ... thinking that I'd gotten it right. ... So many other people had been telling lies about him over a period of 26 years, you know, what happened to him. And I wanted to get it right for him.
And, by the way, you're writing House of Cards; the worst thing that can happen is it's a bad show. It's TV. I felt the stakes were a little higher here. ...
If you think about every exoneree, every single one who's actually innocent, no one has believed them and no one has been interested in hearing what the real story was until they're exonerated. You know, they're just another man or woman in jail saying, "I'm innocent. I didn't do it. How am I going to prove it?" ... While we were doing this, writing the story, which I over reported by a factor of 10 because I was so nervous ... I wanted to get it right.
On what Miller hopes the book will accomplish
Miller: I've heard stories even worse than mine, but the interesting stories in there are about reality. You know, it's not a fantasy, it's nothing made-up; these are real people who suffered real pain, who [have] to find their way back to being a productive citizen. And they need support.
For people not to hear this story, I mean, they would be missing out on the triumphs of human beings and how they're able to struggle hard enough to regain their life back and, you know, clear their family's name. They're important stories that need to be told. ... People don't know ... what it takes to accomplish what exonerees do. They're like the phoenix: They're redone, resurrected.
Editor Jessica Deahl, producer Sam Gringlas and digital producer Nicole Cohen contributed to this report.
In 2007, after decades insisting he was innocent, Jerry Miller of Chicago was finally vindicated.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: There aren't too many people happier today than Jerry Miller. Hugs abound.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: After 25 years in prison for a kidnapping, rape and robbery that he did not commit, Jerry Miller is now free, his conviction removed from the record based on DNA testing that proves his innocence.
SHAPIRO: Jerry Miller was the 200th American wrongly convicted to be cleared by DNA evidence. The local ABC station covered his official exoneration, including this apology from Assistant State Attorney Robert Milan.
ROBERT MILAN: On behalf of the men and women of the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, I would like to express my deepest regrets to Mr. Miller and wish him nothing but the best in his future life.
SHAPIRO: Jerry Miller's story is part of a new book called "Anatomy Of Innocence." It fleshes out personal stories of false convictions with a twist. In each chapter, a famous crime writer tells the story of a real-life exoneree. Miller was paired with John Mankiewicz, an executive producer of the Netflix show "House Of Cards." Miller told me he hoped his chapter of this book would tell the much more complex story behind that attention-grabbing exoneration day at the courthouse.
JERRY MILLER: As my aunt - my famous aunt - would say - she had a lot of sayings - you know, I felt that he would get down to nitty gritty.
SHAPIRO: Writer John Mankowitz told me at first he felt nervous about talking to Jerry.
JOHN MANKIEWICZ: I mean, I just couldn't imagine someone stealing 26 years of your life. And how would you react to that? It's such an overwhelming set of circumstances.
SHAPIRO: And it wasn't only the 26 years that Jerry Miller spent behind bars. After he served his time, before being exonerated, Miller was forced to register as a sex offender. He missed nieces' and nephews' birthday parties because he was not allowed to be around children. He had to wear an ankle bracelet and keep to a 9 p.m. curfew. Jerry Miller and John Mankiewicz joined me to talk about what it was like to work on this story together. The chapter describes a man free from bitterness, so I started off asking Jerry how he managed to stay hopeful during the long ordeal before he cleared his name.
MILLER: I had a life to live, so I had to choose how I wanted to live it. You know, what comes from a man who is negative and basically is mad at the world because he was wronged? You just have to, you know, accept what is happening and grow from it, you know. To just walk around angry - I mean, that's a waste of the rest of your life.
SHAPIRO: John, you've written for a lot of film and TV. How was this writing experience different?
MANKIEWICZ: I felt a big responsibility to tell the story right. And, in fact, I think we even talked about it. I really only cared about at a very small audience of one - that I cared about thinking - not liking it - but thinking this - that I'd got it - gotten right.
SHAPIRO: That audience of one being Jerry, the person whose story you're telling.
MANKIEWICZ: Yeah, because so many other people had been telling lies about him, you know, over a period of 26 years - you know, what happened to him. And I wanted to get it right for him. And, by the way, you're writing "House Of Cards?" What's the - worst thing that can happen is it's a bad show, you know. You know, it's TV. You know, the stakes - I felt the stakes were a little higher.
SHAPIRO: So, Jerry, you've heard how nervous John was to write your story - that he was basically doing this for an audience of one, that the stakes felt higher than with the hit TV show that he's an executive producer of. What's the verdict?
MILLER: I see why they have John to write their stories.
SHAPIRO: (Laughter).
MILLER: You know, I mean, he's a good writer. I call - today, I call him the wordsmith. He convinced me that he was going to write a story. He was going to write a story about me, and he was going to tell the truth. And he was going to try to tell it as I would tell it through him.
MANKIEWICZ: Because, if you think about it, every exoneree - every single one who's actually innocent - no one has believed them. And no one has been interested in hearing what the real story was until they're exonerated. You know, there's just another man or woman in jail saying, I'm innocent. I didn't do it. How am I going to prove it? And there are people who give up - right? - even innocent people in jail.
MILLER: Yeah. I mean, just think - what if I gave up, you know? It was not a given that I would not give up, but, you know, hope comes and goes. It doesn't - it's not a - You have to maintain it, but it comes and goes. Believe me. Every day you wake up is not with purpose.
MANKIEWICZ: Well, and also while we were doing this - writing the story which I overreported, you know, by a factor of 10...
SHAPIRO: Really.
MANKIEWICZ: ...Because I was so nervous. Oh, I've talked to people (laughter). I haven't even told you who I've talked to.
MILLER: Yeah (laughter).
MANKIEWICZ: I wanted to get it right. And I had notebooks full of stuff and, you know, 15 computer files.
SHAPIRO: It sounds like you were a little obsessive about this.
MANKIEWICZ: Well, I really - I really wanted to get it right.
SHAPIRO: Just take me to the day you were exonerated and how it felt in that moment when it was official.
MILLER: It was - you know, even now I kind of get a little shook because I actually knew what was getting ready to take place. I was getting ready to get my life back. And, you know, my family - we basically had a caravan. We rode out, and, you know, everybody was dressed sharp.
MANKIEWICZ: I mean, you can look at pictures from that day, and you've never seen a smile like this, Ari.
SHAPIRO: (Laughter).
MANKIEWICZ: Jerry smiled so much - I think you told me it hurt.
MILLER: Yeah, it did.
MANKIEWICZ: Yeah.
MILLER: You know, it got even better because when they called me up before the judge, you know, I passed through people who was waiting to have their cases heard or whatever. They saw what was taking place, and everybody started clapping.
SHAPIRO: What do you want this book - this retelling of these stories of exoneration and innocence - what do you want it to accomplish?
MILLER: I mean, I've heard stories even worse than mine, but they're interesting stories about reality. You know, it's not fantasy. It's nothing made up. These are real people who suffer real pain, who has to find their way back to being a productive citizen, you know. And they need support for people not to hear the story. I mean, they would be missing out on the triumphs of human beings and how they're able to struggle hard enough to, you know, regain their life back and clear their family's name. They're important stories that need to be told.
MANKIEWICZ: I mean, in a way, it's, you know, life after innocence. It's a - part of it is, you know, a how-to book by example, you know? There are people who - I mean, you've told me you knew people who confessed just to get it over with. Yeah.
MILLER: Right. People don't - see, they don't they don't know the dynamic of it. They don't know what it takes to accomplish what exonerees do.
MANKIEWICZ: You see the stories in the paper. You see it and you feel like - wrongly accused man gets out of jail after 20, 25 years on DNA evidence. This book, for me, was an attempt to go deeper than that.
SHAPIRO: Jerry Miller and John Mankiewicz, thank you both for sharing this story with us.
MANKIEWICZ: Well, thank you.
MILLER: Thank you. Thank you for having us.
SHAPIRO: Jerry Miller reached a settlement with the city of Chicago after his exoneration. He now lives in Virginia, where he's studying computer programming. John Mankiewicz is an executive producer of "House Of Cards." The book is called "Anatomy Of Innocence: Testimonies Of The Wrongly Convicted."

Research have shown that building labor is a single of the 3 most dangerous jobs in the United States. The latter will assist to confirm that the purported owner of land is actual owner of the land an impostor. The Kenya Constitution was promulgated on 28th August, 2010 (the powerful date). Jacey agrees Casper by a deed that Casper can have a right of way across X's land for the rest of Casper's life. There are a lot of situations of Spanish lawyers being cavalier with their advice and in some situations, even functioning for the developer!
From the foregoing provisions it is clear that the constitution of Kenya 2010 constitutionalizes land administration and Management in Kenya. Dear Sir,I feel, all the needed records connected to land (such BS,PS,RS Khatians and deeds documents)should be accessible on-line for the greater advantage of frequent men and women of bangladesh. I would like to know if the lawyers can decide on a distinct judge in loved ones court.
As a trusted partner to his customers, Reid also counsels businesses proactively on land use and true estate matters to assist stay away from costly missteps ahead of they take place. And when you become a building lawyer your job will consist of the basics like creating confident all legal aspects are covered ahead of the project requires off and see that the land on which the building is becoming built is approved.

There are moments when life feels like it's flipped on it's head and nothing is going right. These moments can wipe away your optimism and you're desire to continue the course. It's hard to recover from these moments; it could take days, weeks or even months to overcome even minor setbacks. Any obstacle big or small is a test of character; they highlight your flaws and often expose your weaknesses to others. Rise to the challenge and focus on rebuilding. Find the tools that remind you that life is worth living and that renew your optimism. What tools have helped you build your personality? Some ideas that work for me:
· Stop replaying the obstacles or the bad moments in your head by immersing yourself in a book
· Listen to motivational speakers talk about overcoming life's challenges
· Everyday write 5 things you are grateful for
· Pick a project and immerse yourself in the details
· Find a way to cheer up someone else
· Laugh at the absurdity of it all
· Find a light-hearted show or movie to watch in bed
These are all meant to distract you from the pain of the past (whether that past is yesterday or a month ago, it doesn't matter). These tools can help you get back to neutral and help you find the calm, optimistic person that got temporarily knocked out of the fight. When you've found your center you can tackle your problems from a place of strength, and not anxiety. I'm on day 3 of rebuilding and it's a challenge to not have a dark cloud looming overhead and remember to love life. But I've always found that being happy is in fact a choice, and one that feels a lot better than the alternative.

We are well versed in questioning the provenance of products and businesses, but how often do we question the true origins of the foods we eat? How does the nature of our food impact its effects on our physical and mental wellness?
Food and music are similar in that they can capture a certain moment and tell the story of time.
From the chlorophyll-rimmed cocktail presented upon arrival to the welcoming chirps of the morning birds overhead, you start your experience the way every day begins at Chef Fudy's farm: in the sunshine, surrounded by green goodness, at one with the insects and the animals. From the comfort of your seat, your audio journey begins with a gentle meditation. The soundscape draws you underground into the beginning of plant life, deep in the soil, gathering strength and energy in the darkness to tunnel your way through the earth, eventually bursting out into the open air. From here, Chef Fudy presents you with your 'toolkit', a survival kit for every errand on the farm, wrapped in a napkin and sealed with a fresh flower. As you unwrap your toolkit, your hands take on the aroma of the flower, and you become one with the farm.
Securing your seat at the farm
Beginning on January 27th, Chef Fudy will personally host this monthly 'Table to Farm' dining experience from the private dining room of TK Seafood and Steak.
Each seating will be limited to a maximum of 30 guests based on a lucky draw reservation system.
Future dates: February 24th, March 31st , April 28th , May 26th , June 30th .

Horritt Consulting wins Defra innovation award for work on the Eden catchmentOur submission to the Defra Flood Risk Management and Modelling Competition, written jointly with Sayers and Partners LLP has won an innovation award. Our work used the Future Flood Explorer to evaluate the benefits of a wide range of flood risk management measures now and in the future under climate change and population growth. Our findings were that improvement of defences, property level protection and natural flood management are all effective ways of managing risk. Natural flood management's ability to reduce risk almost as much as developing defences is a product of the Eden's land cover and hydrological response. You can read a summary of our award winning work here.
Horritt Consulting focusses on delivering knowledge, software and spatial data solutions for understanding and managing environmental risk.
We provide clients with two things: software/data to quantify risks, and knowledge to use this information to make better risk management decisions. By understanding clients' requirements, we can help them manage risk in a cost effective and sustainable way.
Established in 2011 by Matt Horritt, we provide flood risk related services to a wide range of clients including the Environment Agency, SEPA, the Committee on Climate Change,
global insurance clients, property developers and rivers trusts. Our services include hydrological analysis, hydraulic modelling, software development, spatial data
analysis and understanding risk and uncertainty, and technical training in all these aspects of flood risk management.
We are also committed to research and development, with involvement in projects looking at flood defence performance, global scale flood modelling, making use of open data and understanding hydrological effects of climate change.

Invention vs InnovationCreativity is seeing what everyone sees and thinking what no one else has thought before. Invention is transforming these new thoughts into tangible ideas. Innovation is introducing these ideas to the end-user. Innovation is channeling creativity (managing its application i.e. invention) so as to produce ideas/products that people can and wish to use (i.e. marketable).
For an invention, the focus is on novelty and this is a key criterion for patenting. In other words, it must be new to its field all over the world. Innovation on the other hand does not have to be new except in a specific situation. Thus, as long as a firm (for instance) is having something for the first time, it is innovative in their context irrespective of whether it is new to their industry, country or the world.
Characteristically, an invention is anything that is novel and potentially practically applicable; an innovation is essentially novel, practically applicable and introduced to the market. Thus innovation may be seen as equal to invention plus exploitation i.e. invention plus commercialization and/or application of new knowledge in production in a particular environment.

Re: Invention vs InnovationAbiodun, i agree with most of what you have written apart from this part 'Invention is transforming these new thoughts into tangible ideas. Innovation is introducing these ideas to the end-user. '
this implies that invention is an early stage and innovation is the end stage, however I think that an invention and innovation both introduce a new product/idea etc to the end-user, not just innovation.

Understanding the difference between Innovation anI do understand what you are trying to say. In terms of the statements about Invention is transforming these new thoughts into tangible ideas and Innovation is introducing these ideas to the end-user. I believe that persons are misinterpreting what you are trying to say when what you really mean is that; an invention is more of a manufactured idea or product while an innovation is more of an idea that may or may not be a manufactured idea or product.

Invention is a scientific fact
Innovation is an economic fact
and Hence Entrepreneurhip is the Sum of Innovation and Invention. E=2I
And It is an Entrepreneur who makes money out of Innovationa and Invention

invention vs. innovationI agree with Abiodun's observation. My question however is if one is an inventor and wishes to become an innovator, what would be the recommended course of action. Seems that inventors sell the patents for pennies only to witness them making others wealthy. I am personally living this decison today. I have developed a technology that in my world is a revolutionary advantage to the manufacturing world. Unfortunately, I am not an innovator and therefore not able to deliver my product to a captured audience. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts.
Samson Opiyo, 22 Feb 2009 @ 10:54am

we should get something right here. That invention is managing the application of creativity and/or innovation does not mean it is the end product of innovation. It extends further to meeting the needs of the end-users through the well researched demand of the consumers(market analysis.

Ron Martinez (profile), 18 Oct 2009 @ 1:25pm
Re: your questionInvention carries with it the connotation of developing or designing something that may or may not be delivered to the marketplace, or if delivered, may not be successful in the marketplace, but which may still be patented. Look up patents to understand the role they play in providing some measure of protection to those who come up with original designs. Note also that not everyone agrees with the concept that someone may "own an idea." (This is a mis-statement of what a patent is, but there are reasonable people who disagree with the patent system, in any event.)
Innovation is simply to create or introduce something new.
This article maybe didn't clarify because in fact, invention IS a form of innovation. What the author is going for here is a distinction that defines invention as "innovating for the purposes of obtaining a patent," and defines innovation as "innovating for the purposes of delivering successful products." As I've written elsewhere, I think this redefinition of terms is merely confusing, though I understand the intent. And as others have commented, innovation and invention are closely interrelated.
I hope this helps!
abirami.n, 8 Oct 2009 @ 2:15amBoth invention and innovations are inter-related..there can be no inventions without innovation.And invention leads to innovation of further inventions..

Re:On the money...
Ron Martinez, 18 Oct 2009 @ 1:16pm
Invention vs. InnovationI know this is an older thread, but would like to add that it is equally useful to look at the relationship possible between invention and innovation - a virtuous circle that amplifies the value in both patentable invention and product innovation.
By the way, disagree with the definition. Both patentable invention and new product formulations can be correctly called "innovation." The narrowing of the term to apply only to product innovation strikes me as unnecessary and muddying, not clarifying. Better: patentable invention and product innovation. Always best to trade malformed pith for clarity.

Innovation Vs inventionInvention is only the first step in a long process of bringing a good idea to widespread and effective use. Being a good inventor is no guarantee of commercial success. Most of the inventions are ended up in the laboratories and never come out to commercial use.
novation is the successful exploitation of the new ideas.
Companies achieve competitive advantage through acts of innovation. They approach innovation in its broadest sense , including both new technologies and new ways of doing things

posibility offer for the best interest of both partiesI'm an inventor with creativity, my ideas are 100% of a product. Which can make value and interest from the public.
If a company offers a posiblity of accepting a product as they have seen the potential image of the ideas. What can the inventor do to exstblich a more favourable/friendly enviroment for himself before the company?
