It is a great summary of the resources.
For the Recordings from Webex Week, July 27-30, 2015, I can access them until yesterday. But when I access them today, it says "
This URL is invalid. Please contact the publisher or your site administrator." whenever I click any of the URL link.
Could you please figure out and fix the problem at your earlier convenience?
Sorry for the tardy response. I have found out that the recordings were removed from the server hosting them - thus breaking the links in the table of recordings. I am looking into how to get the recordings reloaded to a server and the links repaired. It may be until late next week before the links are all repaired. Thanks for viewing the recording content.

I also notice "For all the link from Summer Webex Week, Aug 1-4, 2016", all the linked pages still show that the seminars are not started yet although now is Sept 3, 2016. Will all of them be updated and become available soon?
Thanks for your help. Look forward to the fix
Hi, Tom
Any update on the reloading of the recordings?
Hello, I would like to know if the videos in this summary page are really available.
I clicked a few of them and i only got to a screen wiht information about the video but without the possibility to play them.
Do they work?

So Blessed to have so many of you sharing my video. Thank you!
If you have not had a chance please check it out and share it. Lots of you have recently gone to college so please tweet this video link. Ask your friends to check it out. I have a bet with my promotion guys that our generation can get more done with social media then they can. Help me prove it to them!
Also if you have a local college radio station and you are willing to drop off one of my CDs so they might give it some air time that would be GREAT! Today's radio stations play the same big songs over and over so local stations can really help a new artist break through. If you are willing DM me and I will get a CD to you.
Love to show them the power of friends and how we can use social media to get our messages out in a geniune way.
Appreciate the love and support.
XOXO Gabi

Delectable Desserts
When you're beach bound in the Caribbean, your days are undoubtedly filled with warm sunshine, plenty of free time and really, not a care in the world. Don't you just love that about vacations? A definite highlight of exploring new areas is sampling local cuisines and especially ending each meal with a delectable dessert. It's even more fun when you discover desserts that either you've never tried or never even heard of before now.
If your travels take you to tranquil Turks & Caicos, then a favorite dessert to try is found at Anacaona at Grace Bay Club This decadent chocolate treat combines aged Caribbean Rum with your choice of dark chocolate truffle, pimento milk chocolate or spice island white chocolate. Yum. The aptly named Caribbean Rum & Chocolate Fight is quite honestly, to die for.
While cheesecake is a dessert staple, Aruba's restaurant Cilo, located in the Renaissance Marketplace, serves up a fried cheesecake. Yes, you read that correctly. Fried. Pretty sure this melt in your mouth tasty treat will be well-worth the calories.
A popular refreshing treat in St. Martin is gelato. You'll find a variety of flavors at the Carousel, a favorite among tourists. And not only can you enjoy a rainbow of Italian gelatos and sorbets, but you can also ride the Venetian carousel located inside the restaurant. Now that is a fun way to enjoy your dessert!
Just a short stroll away from Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe in Punta Cana is the trendy Noah Bar and Restaurant. It's a great place to enjoy a cocktail out on the patio, along with one of their featured desserts. If they have the flaming Creme brulee, you won't be disappointed.
But, it seems like chocolate is always a fan favorite. Right in the heart of Nassau and just across the bay from Paradise Island, Sur Club Sushi serves up chocolate cake spring rolls. The light pastry shell pairs perfectly with the chocolaty concoction. You'll find this sweet treat near many of CheapCaribbean.com's resorts, like Riu Palace Paradise Island or Melia Nassau Beach Resort.
And seriously, if you want to mix a gorgeous Caribbean island with a whole lot of chocolate, then in the month of October, St Lucia is your place to visit. In fact, St Lucia has declared the entire month as "Chocolate Heritage Month". Resorts all over the island will host cooking workshops and chocolate tastings, private beach dinners with chocolate as the main course, and even chocolate body treatments and massages. You name it and chocolate will be included!
Your travels will for sure take you to new and exciting places. You'll get to see new sights, meet new people and of course, try new desserts. It's always a good idea to Eat More Cake!
Here is an easy one for you to try!
Dark Chocolate Cake Spring Rolls
Step 1: Boil cream and butter over medium heat. Remove from heat, add chocolate and let stand 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Stir in the peanuts. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until firm.
Step 2: Unfold egg roll wraps and spoon 1 tablespoon of dark chocolate filling into the center of the wrap. Brush the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold in the sides and roll up. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
Step 3: In a large skillet, heat 3/4" oil to 350 degrees. Fry dark chocolate wraps until golden, about 1 minute per side. Place wraps on a paper towel to drain and sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!

... Awsome or scary?
- it starts with old stuff like Dolly and GM food, but then goes to more "serious" stuff. Apart from eel I've known about all this stuff, but here it's packed into just 10 minutes and in such form it gets bit scary.
But while there's little alarm tingling in my mind, objectively I believe it's right way. Just don't rush it. After all we do breed billions of chickens to kill them and eat them, millions of cows to kill them and eat them... Should we stop and starve? Would it be bad to breed pigs who's milk is filled with vaccines, drugs and other chemicals we need?
What about rat-bot - if following our commands stimulates it's pleasure nodes in his cortex, isn't he a happiest animal on planet?

Market research into cloud HR software
A recent survey conducted by IDG Connect predicts rapid growth for cloud HR software, as organisations move away from outmoded legacy on premise systems and search for more suitable global HR software.
Feedback aggregated from 100 IT executives working for companies with 1000+ employees suggested that 56% of those companies who haven't already moved away from on premise HR, plan to migrate to cloud HR solutions within a year.
Amongst the survey sample almost half had already made the shift to cloud HR software. Based on this report, for the majority of legacy on-premise HR system users it is rapidly becoming a question of "when" rather than "if" they choose to move to implement a cloud HR solution – this is clearly represented in the statistic that almost 1 in 4 of those who partook in this study and still use on premise HR systems planned to move within six months.
This data is highly consistent with Gartner's prediction that the global HR & payroll software market will be worth $8.3Bn by the end of 2014 and $8.8Bn in 2015, by which time cloud HR solutions are set to hold a market-share of approximately 75%.
IDC is even more confident about the future of cloud HR solutions in the context of the market for global HR solutions, calculating that the market was worth $9.9Bn in 2013 and will grow by more than 20% to reach $12.5Bn in 2016.
As to "why" the increasing popularity of cloud HR solutions, there are several contributing factors. Certainly there is a growing consensus that cloud is simply a better way to manage information technology. Factors commonly cited include:
- Low (or no) capital expenditure
- Reduced Admin costs
- Rapid deployment
- Scalability
However, what is most illuminating is that over a half of respondents suggested their desire to change systems is driven by a need to compete with rivals who already run cloud HR solutions. A similar percentage were motivated by the belief that this type of global HR software provides a better support for business growth.
Other key issues encouraging cloud HR software adoption include:
- Discontinuing legacy HR systems
- Better functionality
- Enabling systems integration
- Cost efficiencies
- Less drain on internal IT department
- Easy upgrades with no downtime
All of this lends industry experts to widely accept that cloud HR software provides a 'silver lining' to the systems and personnel challenges modern businesses face in 2014 and beyond…

ISIS not a major threat to Afghanistan, NDS
January 22, 2015
The Afghan Intelligence – National Directorate of Security (NDS) Chief Rahmatullah Nabil has ruled out that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group poses serious threat to Afghanistan. Speaking during a briefing in Afghan parliament on Thursday Nabil said the Afghan intelligence is competent enough in terms of capabilities. In the meantime, Nabil said the ISIS group poses more threats to the neighboring countries as compared to Afghanistan. Nabil reiterated that the Afghan national security forces are capable to thwart threats by terrorist groups.
The remarks by the Ministry of Interior (MoI) confirmed last week that a number of the Taliban militants have launched operations under the name of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in parts of Afghanistan. The commander of the NATO-led Resolute Support mission in Afghanistan Gen. John Campbell earlier also said that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is recruiting militants in Afghanistan.
In an interview with the Army Times, Gen. Campbell said "We are seeing reports of some recruiting. There have been some night letter drops, there have been reports of people trying to recruit both in Afghanistan and Pakistan, quite frankly." Concerns regarding growing ISIS influence in Afghanistan and Pakistan comes as a video was released by ISIS over a week ago which purports to show militant leaders who identify themselves as from Afghanistan and Pakistan pledging their support to the Islamic State group.
However, the former Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group has no place and supporters among the Afghans. In an interview with the BBC Farsi, Karzai blamed the foreign intelligence agencies for spreading propaganda regarding the growing presence of ISIS militants in parts of Afghanistan. Karzai said the foreigners are looking to enforce new phase of instability and misery in Afghanistan by encouraging the militants to raise the ISIS flags in a bid to spread the group's ideology in Afghanistan.

When I was married, I had not done any of my healing work yet. I was searching, but was still mostly unconscious about what drove my choices and behaviors. One of the most common phrases I would say to my husband during those years was, "Why don't I matter to you!!?" He would respond with frustration, "You do." But I didn't believe him, so I would rack up all the evidence to support why I was right.
These conversations would escalate and escalate until we weren't really talking to each other at all. We would end up talking about how we talk about how we talk. And in all that, I continued to feel like I didn't matter and he felt attacked.
One evening, the two of us had dinner together at Applebee's. We had a good time. When we walked into the house after our date, he headed to the back yard to work in his garden, while I stood in the living room having a meltdown about being abandoned yet again. "Why don't I MATTER to you?"
What I didn't learn until after the marriage broke apart was I had brought a giant suitcase filled with I Don't Matter to my marriage. And since it was at the core of my worldview, I saw everything through that lens. Didn't call me? I don't matter. Late for dinner? I don't matter. Done with me to go work in the garden? I don't matter.
In the grief support group I attended, I began to understand that my losses were not just the deaths of my parents. I also made translations of these events. And since I was 13 and 23 when they occurred, they weren't necessarily translations based in truth or love. They were based in fear and pain. "See, the world sucks. I'm not safe. I'm not cared for. I don't matter."
We all have those deeply held false beliefs about ourselves.
I don't matter.
I'm not good enough.
I'll never be accepted.
I don't belong.
My work was not in learning to communicate better with my husband. My work was not in changing my self-talk to be kinder to myself. My work had to go deep to get to the root. I had to see what those translations of painful events were that I had made long ago, see the falseness of them, and make new ones based on the truth. Here's how.
Own it. Own it. Own it.
When I finally admitted it was ME, I was the one with all the I Don't Matter baggage, I could finally start getting real about it. As long as I was blaming Adam (my ex), or my boss, my job, the government, or anyone else, I was stuck. It. Was. Me.
Confess It.
Tell someone who is mature enough to help you through this. Not someone who gets on your I Don't Matter bandwagon to validate your unconscious thinking. We all need someone to help us see the truth. Tell your story.
Heal Old Wounds.
I had to get a lot of help to identify what the lies were that were keeping me stuck in these painful patterns of relating, then self-destructing. I had to learn the truth, over and over until it sunk in. Until it took root. I matter, and nothing that happened to me and nothing I did can change that. It is just how we are in the eyes of God. We matter.
Daily Practice.
I read a lot of spiritual material, self-help, motivational and inspirational material.
I listen to music that keeps me rooted in the truth.
I take my walks for physical, emotional and spiritual health.
I pray, sing, chant, meditate, dance and find other personal ways of connecting to the Spirit of Truth so that I stay rooted.
When I know who I am, my choices reflect that. When I know I matter, and that I am good enough, my choices reflect that. This is healing. That is how to change for good.
"You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex, but eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them." – Iyanla Vanzant
"Turn your wounds into wisdom." – Oprah
"Our deepest wounds surround our greatest gifts." – Ken Page

Did you ever think about automatic level tools. Hmm, Black and Decker has thought about it and has given this wonderful laser level, Bulls Eye. The demo is really cool. I also like their Handisaw. I've used several Black and Decker products (can opener, vacuum cleaner, iron and toaster) and all of them were of great quality. Hmm I wish I could buy one of those Handisaws from Sri Lanka :)

Limahl was born in Pemberton, Wigan, and worked briefly as an actor, before joining Kajagoogoo in 1982. He was fired from the band the following year, but rejoined them for a time in 2008.
Now openly gay, Limahl once shared a flat with Paul Gambaccini (who is also author of the first official Kajagoogoo biography, songbook and photobook), leading to rumours in the tabloid press that the two were lovers.[1]

Shed been watching the two men for a while, and the pale, rather docile, wife with vermilion in her hair, who sometimes went inside the small house and came out again. Shed been watching from behind a bush, so they hadnt seen her; they had the air of being not quite travellers, nor people whod been settled for long; but they looked too composed to be fugitives. Sometimes the men went away into the forest while the woman attended to household chores Surpanakha observed this interestedly from a distance and then theyd return with something shed chop and cook, releasing an aroma that hung incongruously about the small house.
She, when she considered herself, thought how much stronger and more capable she would be than that radiantly beautiful but more or less useless woman, how shed not allow the men to work at all, and do everything for them herself. It was the taller one shed come to prefer, the older one, whose actions had such authority. She liked to watch him bending, or brushing away a bit of dust from his dhoti, or straightening swiftly, with that mixture of adroitness and awkwardness that only human beings, however godly they are, have; he was so much more beautiful than she was. It was not his wifes beauty she feared and envied; it was his. Sighing, she looked at her own muscular arms, used to lifting heavy things and throwing them into the distance, somewhat hirsute and dark, but undoubtedly efficient, and compared them to his, which glowed in the sunlight. Her face, which shed begun to look at in a pond nearby, had cavernous nostrils and tiny tusks that jutted out from beneath her lips; it was full of fierceness and candour. But when she cried, it did not evoke pity, not even her own. The face reflected in the water filled her with displeasure. How lovely his features were in comparison!
After about six days had passed, and shed gone unnoticed, hiding, frightened, and when she was glimpsed, frightening, behind the bush, she decided to approach him. She had grown tired of hovering there like an animal; even the animals had begun to watch her. Although shed been taught to believe, since childhood, that rakshasas were better braver, less selfish, more charitable and better-natured than human beings and gods, it was true that the latter were prettier. Theyd been blessed unfairly by creation; no one knew why. Long ago, shed been told that it was bad luck to fall in love with a god or a human being, but the possibility had seemed so remote that shed never entertained it seriously. The feeling of longing, too, was relatively new for her, although she was in full maturity as a woman; but she was untried and untested, rakshasi though she was, and uncourted; and this odd condition of restlessness was more solitary and inward, she found, than indigestion, and more painful.
She decided to change herself. She could take other forms at will, albeit temporarily; she decided to become someone else, at least for a while. She went to a clearing where she was sure no one would see her, where the only living things were some insects and a few birds in the trees, and the transformation took place. Now she went to the pond to look at the image in the water. Her heart, like a girls upon glimpsing a bride, beat faster at what she saw; a woman with large eyes and long hair down to her waist, her body pliant. She wasnt sure if this was herself, or if the water reflected someone else.

Australia – It's not just a great place to come for A Holiday… It's also a FANTASTIC place to do business…
Here's Why: US tech giant Google has expanded its Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to its first site in Australia. The recently opened GCP is located in Sydney, and joins other GCPs in the Asia-Pacific region such as Tokyo and Singapore.
Google's global network connects all of its regions, with around 100 points of presence all over the world. A locally-based cloud, like the new Sydney site, allows even faster access for its users.
Angelo Joseph, Head of Customer Engineering at Google in Australia and New Zealand says in a GCP blog post that the company has thousands of local customers on its cloud platform, including Woolworths, News Corp, Fairfax and PwC. 'Our performance testing shows 40 per cent to 90 per cent reductions in the round trip latency when serving customers in Sydney as compared to other regional options in Japan, Singapore and India.'
In a media interview, Rick Harshman, Managing Director of Asia-Pacific and Japan, Google Cloud, says that Australia is a 'leading innovation nation' – one of the most technologically-advanced countries in the world. 'It's no surprise that we are already working with companies here that are recognising the importance of this digital shift.'
GCP will be further promoted through the upcoming Google Cloud Summit, coming to Sydney in September.
Google's GCP expansion follows an announcement in April with a consortium of ICT companies, including Singtel, Telstra and Indosat, to construct a new international subsea cable system with Alcatel Submarine Networks. Estimated at several hundred million dollars, the investment will enable the businesses to provide greater connectivity between Australia and South East Asia, with the subsea cables linking Singapore, Indonesia and Australia.
Google is a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. Alphabet's market value reportedly reached over US$600 billion in the last fiscal quarter.
Google added Klingon as a language interface option in 2002.

Russia shuts down multiple McDonald's restaurants as tensions rise. Plus, the one thing most tennis players hate wearing, and more. Tanya Rivero brings you all the details on Lunch Break. Photo: Getty

... write that isn't love ... the country's state-run consumer regulator has ordered twelve McDonald's restaurants close as of Friday ... hello everyone this is your Friday lunch break I'm tiny Rivera out ... the move has led many to speculate that this is payback for tighter sanctions imposed by the West ... joining us now with the story from Moscow is WSJ reporter although that's um sky Apple didn't think so much for being with us ... you're welcome them ... yes I have ... said ... Shayndi has said handfuls of McDonald's outlets today in Moscow ... to that in the US continues to legions of fashion and is up ... the Eagles for a one hundred other outlets he said ... it's it's the ... start of the ... Fed's current state ... of inspections that ... that ... the regulator has started since I last ... and this is not standard practice than for Russia's consumer regulator ... no it is not ... as you have upgraded weeded out ... analysts says the bull has ... often pointed out that as it is common practice for consuming consumer regulator ... to ... apply pressure on net ... company sky during times of political speech ... it's ... the it's the case right now ... so what reasons other Russian citing to explain why they are forcing some any of the American fast food restaurants ... everything would be in a ... change in a ... sanitary violations ... I answered he says ... that a ... consumer it later says stay ... fresh customers ... approach of ... a regulator in great Plains about ... St century regulations all ... of them ... have the official acts and haven't McDonald's been popular there in Russia ... um I would say yes ... is that I'm the one of the first restraints of shutdown of last week ... isn't it is clear that the right and center of Moscow ... this was the first string that opened in nineteen nineteen ... and I believe it's considered ... the most a tinted restraint ... McDonald's restaurant ... in full or ... so has there been any outcry from normal McDonald's consumers there ... um it with me yes and no wind and sun not ... the kind of people he speaks in ... use of a big portion of oppression it's a weird experience nostalgia ... is the big for some of them ... working for McDonald's and eating at McDonald's demands a ... certain being in touch ... with that of American culture with a Western culture ... and ... it was at least the first McDonald's was now one of few ... police made ... in the lead time so some of them are scams ... I ran all the thank you so much for that ... you never know ... I ... the ... from Transformers Age of Extinction released just the month of that with the highest grossing movies so far this year ... already bringing in over a billion dollars amid the theaters around the world sounds pretty bad right well ... as WSJ reporter Ben Fritz is here to tell us the real financial picture is a bit more complicated ... than thank so much for being with us to thank you so even though this currency iteration of Transformers is green so much money more than the previous one it doesn't stand to make the studio as much money right because we have been easy to know the total roll flight ticket sales with this pushes the box office number we all use to seeing every Sunday or Monday ... are about the same as the last one ... a lot more the money came from China and a lot less in the United States in the UK ... as it turns out ... box office dollars return to revenue they don't turn into new isn't revenue in China's ado here that's fascinating so break it down for us ... country by country you have a ... demographic in your piece ... that explains why a box office dollar in the US is worth so much more than one anti ... shares over a period about a decade studios down into some analyses attained ... they can under totaled about twenty seven cents on the dollar coming in from China that's the low although we do a high The dollar seventy five in the US ... the reason there's two reasons for that one is ... the split of the box office dollars different meaning if you spend ten bucks a movie ticket in the US ... the studio gets about five dollars other feisty to the theater ... I China the lead going into fifty the end of September the states with the government had slashed companies ... and on top of that they can be can project a lot more revenue will come from DVD sales video on demand ... TV hearings on HBO et-cetera ... and ins China and some other less developed countries that have very high piracy ... was barely exists so you can become a deacon of run in theaters into new premises on the so this is become very important for stadia as I the post film release ... sales and TV season TV Lee says some ... these developing countries don't have such a market that correct okay so now what so the other countries in between the U S since nine at ... the breakdown sure well on the higher and you see when in the UK Western Europe is around the dollars thirty one dollars box of it said was so pretty good that are ... in play in up of Russia's about sixty five cents but that's getting higher every year thirty the markets including ... South Korea every developed country only fifty five cents the reason is piracy is so rampant in South Korea that ... virtually nobody buys TV teaser video on demand legally and it's interesting to see also that the taste for movies as different ... from country to country it seems like in the U S maybe we have some Transformers the team do yes I think that the accord with our is are so similar ... people have lost interest which is why consumers for the summer gross but uh hundred million last the last one big difference ... China was a hundred fifty million more the scene that ... this ... morning I found that the last one am the most excited yes and it's easy there was a big difference in quality ... no Dupree similar feeling ... like Transformers and like it you know that they haven't done with that series is kind of two hr of a refreshed and we think it ... would be different as with Best acid various ... actually last summer Number six the highest grossing one of them all in one of the key reasons is they have kind of economy bought it at its new elements to cast members along the way the Holy grail the lists of American audience for a little at stake here than as a ... bargain or sometimes we over Spiderman sale at St Spider man two also did not do as well as hoped and the city didn't need is this a lot more of it was overseas ... and here it's the cutest The Studios Eastern one again time people Russians see the movies to the new audience of corn meal wanted you to lose Americans in the process of the success of a tricky balance again another mechanic out there ... that silly everybody ... really think is that right then and I know ... my pleasure thanks for it to get a break and after the break will bring you the business of being can fall and stay with us ... welcome back to lunch break I'm tiny Rivera out ... author can fall and has wrapped up the Sentry trilogy with the final book in the series and of eternity ... to be released globally on September sixteen ... hit explain the enormous popularity of can fall and is WSJ reporter Lucy Feldman ...

The Don CeSar
Thomas Rowe migrated to Florida and purchased 80 acres of what is now St. Petersburg Beach in 1924. A year later, construction began on his dream project: the "Pink Castle." The historic Don CeSar, named for the chivalrous Don Ce-Sar in Vincent Wallace's light opera Maritana, opened in 1928, nearly 300% over budget, and instantly attracted some of the era's biggest stars, from F. Scott Fitzgerald and FDR to Al Capone.
The New York Yankees signed a three-year spring training contract in 1931, helping the Don through the Great Depression. In 1942, two years after Rowe's untimely death, the U.S. Army seized the hotel and used it as a hospital throughout the duration of World War II and in 1944, the Don entered its "golden age" as an Air Force convalescent center. One year later, the luxurious hotel interiors were stripped bare and painted "government green" as the Don endured its next incarnation as the regional office for the Veteran's Administration.
By 1969, the historic building in St. Pete Beach had severely deteriorated. The last of the federal offices abandoned the property and it remained derelict until the early 1970s, when William Bowman, Jr., purchased it for $460,000. The Don CeSar hotel reopened in 1973 (the name now sans the hyphen) after a $7.5-million restoration. Once again the Pink Castle reigned on the Florida coast. In 2009, a million dollar meeting space renovation was completed. In 2011, the signature restaurant, Maritana Grille, Lobby, Lobby Bar, and Sea Porch Restaurant were reconcepted and revitalized. In addition, in 2012, a multi-million dollar guestroom renovation was completed.
The Don CeSar, a member of Historic Hotels Worldwide since 1989, dates back to 1928.

Foothills Minor Baseball Association needs to recruit officials into the game of baseball with the greatest need being to support the House League at Mosquito, PeeWee, Bantam and Midget Levels.
The house league baseball season starts at the beginning of May and finishes at the end of June. League games are normally held on weeknights and tournaments are played on weekends. There is a mid-season and year end tournament for both the Mosquito and PeeWee divisions.

Work dries up for Tania Zaetta after troop-sex claims
Sydney, June 5 (ANI): Bollywood actress Tania Zaetta is out of work since her unsubstantiated troop sex claims, her agent has revealed.
Zaetta's agent Max Markson revealed that the actress has received no work offers ever since the sex slur and the work opportunities had dried up.
"She's not had any offers of work at all since then," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted him as saying.
"She's had a dreadful two weeks, she's lost four kilograms, she's been vomiting," he added.
Defence chiefs including Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston and Defence Secretary Nick Warner, yesterday had apologised to Zaetta for the Defence Department's handling of the affair, as the rumours were unsubstantiated.
Markson said she would accept the apology.
The agent also said that the former 'Fear Factor' host would not take legal action against the Defence Force and wanted to tour war zones again, despite being deeply affected by the "cruel slur".
"She's not at war with the Defence Department, she's very proud of her involvement with the troops and she would like to do more of it. She would be happy to go do it again," said Markson. (ANI)

I found a draft of the video presentation for the lunch currier project (see previous post). We created this presentation for the "changing the change" conference in Torino, Italy, in July 2008. The draft is in fact better than the final version, because the request from the organisers was to compress the video to 35 seconds and I haven't learnt to be so concise, yet.

Can Snoring Mouthpieces Replace a CPAP Machines to Cure Sleep Apnea?
Snorers and sufferers of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) alike can spend countless hours researching the best solution, thousands of dollars trying different products and years of their lives not being able to sleep properly. One of the more common questions is whether an anti-snoring mouthpiece can act as a replacement for a CPAP machine. We will take a deeper look at that question below.
Why Not Use A CPAP Machine?
If you have never had a CPAP machine and if you don't have insurance coverage that will pay the full amount, the initial cost may be extremely prohibitive. CPAP machines can range in price from hundreds to thousands of dollars and aside from that there are a whole series of accessories that you may feel pressured to purchase so that you can take full advantage of your machine.
Another reason to not use a CPAP machine is claustrophobia or a sense of being suffocated. This is an extremely common complaint amongst new users on sleep apnea forums and some users talk about needing 4 or 5 months to adjust to using the machine. As it is designed to force air into you while you sleep, some people find the mask restrictive, the hose obstructive and the overall experience to be very uncomfortable and even embarrassing.
In Mouth Alternatives to the CPAP
There are 2 main categories of in mouth alternatives to the CPAP. The Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) and the Tongue Stabilizing Device (TSD). The MAD is a mouthpiece that is similar to a sports style mouth guard. It uses leverage to hold your lower jaw in a forward sitting position that allows your airway to stay open while you sleep which is a common cause of snoring and sleep apnea. The TSD is designed to keep your tongue from falling in the back of your mouth which is another common cause of blocked airways that lead to snoring and sleep apnea.
While the effects of the TSD and the MAD are different, the TSD takes up much less room in your mouth. Both of these items can be prescribed by your doctor but if you don't have insurance they can cost an upwards of $1500. This doesn't include the cost in time and money of several doctor visits for checkups and adjustments.
While some insurance plans cover these expenses, many won't cover them despite proven studies and results. When you are looking at paying $1500 or more out of pocket to solve this problem, it is not uncommon to start looking for alternatives and options can be found in non-prescription snoring mouthpieces that are available online.
Is There Really A Difference Between The Non-Prescription Snoring Mouthpieces And The Prescription Sleep Apnea Mouthpieces?
As the characteristics of non-prescription mouthpieces vary considerably, it is difficult to state exact differences. Generally the prescription units are sturdier and are built with a higher quality resin, that is form fitted to you from molds taken of your teeth before they are made specifically for you.
They also have the advantage of multiple visits with a health specialist that will adjust them until they fit just right, ensure their effectiveness and overcome for issues such as teeth movement.
The non-prescription snoring mouthpieces mimic the apnea mouthpieces in appearance and function, but there are differences. Since they are mass manufactured; the best fit you can get is using thermoplastic resins that you "boil and bite".
Certain units can be adjusted in small increments but without a doctor checking the effectiveness the results are not as reliable.
The non-prescription TSD versions are almost identical to the prescription units but the biggest difference is in the fact that they are not designed for sleep apnea. They are designed for benign snoring with no apnea. These devices are available online and they are self-fitted. Self-fitting a TSD can lead to some issues.
Since the TSD uses suction to hold your tongue in place, there can be issues of a "tingly tongue" if you have too much suction. Other issues can range from sore gums to excessive drooling, but these usually diminish over time. People who experiment with using TSDs and MADs to overcome sleep apnea have mixed results.
When ordering these devices online, many manufacturers will require that you fill out a questionnaire before allowing you to make the purchase to ensure that your oral health is up to par. The use of bridges or full dentures, excessively sensitive gums and certain illnesses may lead to manufacturers not selling to you as these companies need to avoid any legal issues that may come up from improper use of the device.
Is It Possible To Treat Sleep Apnea With A Non-Prescription Mouthpiece?
Considering that non-prescription snoring mouthpieces cost a fraction of anything prescription based, many people look for the answer that can save them money. The answer really depends on what is causing your sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea can be caused by issues with the tongue, the throat, nasal cavity, excessive weight or even with the way your brain communicates with your body while sleeping. Each cause can mean a different style of treatment. This is why it is so essential that you visit your doctor to discover the source of your sleep apnea and begin to treat it accordingly.
Some people prefer to have all of the answers before taking the first step and will visit multiple doctors, research endlessly, participate in sleep studies, monitor themselves extensively and be almost certain before taking the first step. Some people prefer to try a cheapest to the most expensive approach of solving the problem.
Everybody has a slightly different way of approaching the task of overcoming sleep apnea but the one thing you can be sure of, if you want the least expensive way to ATTEMPT to overcome sleep apnea; the online purchase of a MAD or TSD mouthpieces is the obvious place to start.
What is certain is that if you are going to attempt a non-prescription device you should with consult your health professional first to ensure that your specific case won't cause any potential complications with the use of the device you choose.
If you want the highest quality answer, a medical professional is the best place to start your journey. Some doctors are quite open to the idea of internet ordered devices to treat mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea when the situation calls for it.
Other doctors prefer only to use prescription models and their reasoning can range from financial gain, to a true belief in the device they are offering. Doctors can vary considerably in their diagnosis and their belief in certain products, so you may decide to check with more than one doctor before making your decision.
Remember that if you don't know what is causing your snoring or if you suffer from sleep apnea, you are rolling the dice on whether the device you are purchasing will actually work. You may get helpful feedback from your partner, or even from apps on your smartphone.
There're Apps For Sleep Issues!
Technology has allowed us to use the wide variety of sensors, microphones and data logging available on just about every smartphone on the market to be put towards the noble cause of tracking our sleep and helping to move towards official diagnoses of sleep related issues.
For the iPhone
Sleep Assess is a fantastic app for understanding your condition. It will determine whether you are suffering from sleep apnea based on whether you are snoring, waking up tired and other factors. If you have a suspicion that you might be suffering from sleep apnea, this app is a must. Once you determine that you might have apnea, a doctor's visit is the next step.
If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, the app Sleep Apnea Monitor can help you monitor your condition. It monitors various data points that can help you figure out just how severe your condition is and if the device you are using is actually helping you.
For Android:
Sleep as Android can track every part of your sleep including when you wake up, how many times you wake up, how often you are snoring, how long it takes you to start snoring and more. It can also help you wake up in the morning with challenging alarm silencing. You can take the information in this app and work through it with a doctor to determine if you need further testing or if you are free from apnea.
Do I Have To Replace My CPAP Or Can I Use A Mouthpiece As An Extra Measure?
People who use CPAPs have been experimenting under doctor supervision with the utilization of a combined approach. They may use a non-prescription mouthpiece AND the CPAP. May have seen positive results using TSDs and have found that the pressure that their CPAP functions at can be lowered by using a mouthpiece.
This combined approach is something that must be carefully monitored by you and your doctor. There should be a good look at the data points to ensure that the combination is effective.
The combined approach has led some people to reach a zero apnea situation where they are completely cleared of their apnea and their CPAP runs at a lower pressure. The use of a TSD vs a MAD depends on your condition and deciding on which item to use should be discussed with your doctor as you go through this process.
As some people go suffer from sleep apnea do to obesity, they find as they go through the process of weight loss, they can go from a combined approach and transition into using only mouthpieces. Sometimes after the weight loss is complete, they can completely stop suffering from sleep apnea and snoring.
I Want To Leave My CPAP Behind. Am I Ready?
If you have done your research, spoken to your doctor and you are in agreement that a trial of pure mouthpiece treatment is a viable option, then it is probably a good idea to go through our comprehensive comparison chart of different mouthpieces found HERE (add hyperlink).
This chart shows you all of the major differences in the available products and will help you and your doctor greatly in choosing the piece that is best for your needs.
The goal behind all of this research and testing is to get an excellent night's sleep, wake up refreshed and do it all over again the next night. It can seem like a daunting task to go through all of this, but the price you pay for not being well rested can be extremely high.
In the world of snoring and sleep apnea there is no simple "yes" or "no" answer as to whether the purchase of a non-prescription mouthpiece is right for you.
The answer to this question should NOT be answered in online articles. It should be answered by you, your needs and your doctor's input. What we all hope is that there is the ideal solution out there for us.
One of the good and affordable mouthguards for sleep apnea is the SleepPro Custom.
It has been proven in clinical trials to help with sleep apnea. While this device has helped many people, there is no guarantee that you will see the same results. However, it lets you sleep without using pressurized air, uncomfortable hoses or constrictive masks from a CPAP. Best of all, it requires no prescription and costs much less than prescription MADs.

Which Product Should I Choose?
Every person has a unique mouth and needs, so one that is perfect for one person may not be the best option for another.
There are well over 100 products on the market, so making a decision can be quite daunting.
You will find a lot of helpful information in the comparison chart, and I have written reviews of several products.
If you would rather not spend a lot of time reading reviews, please consult my article titled "My Mouthpiece Recommendation". I have compiled a list of three products that I believe are the best options, based on my experience.

Oracle DBA certification, part I: Introduction
The Oracle Certification Program continues to be the most popular certification among all database vendors. Here's an introduction to the 9i DBA track.
The Oracle Certification Program continues to be the most popular certification among all database vendors. This is no surprise considering Oracle has dominated the market for large scale relational databases worldwide. Oracle has completely revamped the DBA Certification track with the release of the Oralce9i database. To best understand the modifications that the DBA track has undergone, it's best to first review the Oracle8i DBA track.
To become an Oracle8i Certified Professional (OCP) DBA, the certification candidate needed to pass five exams:
- Introduction to Oracle: SQL and PL/SQL
- Oracle8i: Architecture and Administration
- Oracle8i: Backup and Recovery
- Oracle8i: Performance Tuning
- Oracle8i: Network Administration
Passing all five exams was a very challenging task, to say the very least. The first two exams in the track were often considered to be among the toughest...as mastery of their content was essential in passing exams 3 and 4. The Network Administration exam was an entity of its own, containing content much different than the others...although extremely important for the DBA to perform his or her duties.
With Oracle9i, the DBA Certification track is now divided into 2 primary tiers, as well as a third Master-level tier:
- Oracle9i Certified Associate (OCA)
- Oracle9i Certified Professional (OCP)
- Oracle9i Certified Master (OCM)
The core Oracle9i DBA track consists of 4 exams: 2 for OCA, and an additional 2 for OCP.
Oracle9i Certified Associate (OCA)
The OCA tier was designed to provide for an entry-level DBA certification designation for the Oracle9i platform. Information Technology professionals with little or no Oracle experience can obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to break into the highly lucrative and challenging Oracle profession. The skills obtained from completing this certification track will allow the candidate to participate on Oracle-related projects acting as junior-level DBAs. Typically, a senior-level DBA will work closely to assign appropriate DBA tasks to strengthen existing skills, and challenge them to learn slightly more advanced procedures.
The Oracle9i Certified Associate (OCA) requires passing two exams:
- Introduction to Oracle9i: SQL
- Oracle9i Database: Fundamentals I
Oracle9i Certified Professional (OCP)
The OCP tier was designed for mid to senior-level DBAs with one or more years of focused Oracle DBA experience. The knowledge and skills obtained from completing this tier of the certification program prepare the DBA to provide the full assortment of DBA-related tasks...from Database Design and Development to production tasks such as Performance Tuning and Backup & Recovery.
The Oracle9i Certified Professional (OCP) requires passing the two exams in the OCA Tier, plus two additional exams:
- Oracle9i Database: Fundamentals II
- Oracle9i Database: Performance Tuning
Note: It is also possible to become an Oracle9i Certified Professional (OCP) by taking one exam: Oracle9i: New Features for Administrators. To qualify to become an OCP by taking this one "Upgrade" exam, you must first be an Oracle8i Certified Professional (OCP).
Oracle9i Certified Master (OCM)
There is a third tier to the Oracle9i DBA Certification Track, the OCM. This track is targeted at very senior level DBAs and Oracle consultants. If you have less than 5 years of serious Oracle work experience...and have not spent many hours working with and testing advanced Oracle9i features...don't even consider this Tier as an option. I don't mean to sound negative about this, but let me continue with more on the requirements...and hopefully you'll see what I mean.
The OCM designation first requires that you obtain your Oracle9i OCP credential. Once this is secured, Oracle requires that you take two advanced Oracle courses from Oracle University. These are Instructor-led courses that will cost on average $2,000 each. There are about a dozen different courses to choose from:
- Oracle9i: Program with PL/SQL
- Oracle9i: Advanced PL/SQL
- Oracle9i: SQL Tuning Workshop
- Oracle9i: Database: Real Application Clusters
- Oracle9i: Database: Data Guard Administration
- Oracle9i: Database: Implement Partitioning
- Oracle9i: Data Warehouse Administration
- Oracle Net Services: Advanced Administration
- Oracle9i: Advanced Replication
- Oracle9i: Enterprise Manager
Once you've completed the course requirements, you can then register for and take the "practicum" exam. The practicum is a two-day, hands-on performance exam that requires the candidate to perform a number of tasks using Oracle9i on the Linux platform. Some of the skills that need to be proven include: database configuration, replication, partitioning, parallel operations, diagnostics, troubleshooting, performance tuning, and backup and recovery...all with "real-world" scenarios.
So, what's the problem with that you may ask? First, the skills you'll need to know and be able to perform are covered in many more than just two of the advanced courses you'll be required to take from Oracle University. So even if you do take the two required courses, you'll need to learn and be prepared for much more. This could require many months of additional self-study or many thousands of dollars in additional Oracle University courses. Second, the cost of the practicum exam is an outrageous $2,000. You won't want to fail and re-take (re-pay) for this exam!!
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of a Master-level Oracle certification, but the course requirements and exam cost make this Tier cost-prohibitive for most.
