Had a request for this one. Recorded back in January of 2005. Order it from Porter Records. Feeling lazy...
"Robby Moncrieff and Zach Hill team up for an explosive assault of mind bending keyboards and drums that merges the atmosphere of a 1970's Italian horror film with a psychotic Nintendo 64. Robby Moncrieff, who is best known as What's Up and has worked with The Dirty Projectors, brings a more experimental edge to his sound by mixing layers of keyboards and dynamic effects. Zach Hill, from the band Hella, contributes his stunning bombastic drumming style that lifts the recording to new heights seldom heard in electronic keyboard based music. This is a recording for the adventurous listener who welcomes new music created from a multitude of genres."

The Save the Gouldian Fund has developed a very simple 4 Step Method of delivering complete nutrition for breeding and maintaining Lady Gouldian Finches. One of the most frequent questions that we are asked is how to feed a Lady Gouldian Finch to maintain health and breeding vitality. And many of the questions we get regarding health and breeding problems arise from poor nutrition.
Here is the diet and nutrition program used at the Save the Gouldian Fund. It follows Mike Fidler's Annual Dietary Cycle for breeding Lady Gouldian Finches as described in the book "The Gouldian Finch" (Fidler/Evans). This dietary cycle simulates the natural availability of food to the wild Gouldian, and will condition captive Gouldians for optimum health and fertility. It features a diverse and nutritionally rich diet of dry seeds, sprouted seeds mixed with a softfood, and calcium grit to allow your birds to forage for the nutrition they need (as they do in nature). This diet contains everything your birds require, and represents the most current scientific information on Gouldian finch nutrition.
Your Gouldians will have to learn how to eat healthfully. It takes a finch several months to typically accept a new food. You must be consistent, and keep new food offerings fresh to attract your bird's interest. Over time you will see nibbling at first, and then complete acceptance as they discover and crave your nutritionally rich offerings. You will also find that during different times of the year, your Gouldian will eat different parts of your offerings more heavily than at other times of the year. That is his or her body telling them what it needs.
Mike Fidler's 4 Step Annual Dietary Cycle for Breeding Lady Gouldian Finches as used by the Save the Gouldian Fund:
1. Maintenance & Resting Season Diet (3 months)
2. Pre-Breeding Austere Diet (1 month to cease hormone flow and rest the reproductive organs)
3. Breeding Season Diet (6 months)
4. Molting Season Diet (8 weeks)
Then restart the annual cycle at Step 1.
Why did we start the cycle with the Maintenance & Resting Season Diet. If you have new birds they need time to adjust to your food and their new cage environment and be given time to come into breeding condition. Starting off your new birds by breeding right away is the primary reason for pitching of nestlings and infertile eggs. When you hear about Gouldians frequently pitching their nestlings it is usually because the breeder does not understand Gouldian nutrition and the dietary cycle. The use of Society finches to foster Gouldians is the unnecessary result of poor dietary management.
You'll notice the schedule doesn't have months assigned to it, as the Gouldian's life cycle is primarily driven by diet (they breed well into the shortest days of winter). So you can assign the months as you wish, as long as you stick to the sequence of the schedule over a 12 month period. If your birds typically begin breeding in the Fall, then set up the cycle to suit!
For the companion article to this article read "Breeding Gouldian Finches: What Wild Gouldians Can Tell Us." Combined with the food schedule listed below, it is everything you need to know to be a successful Lady Gouldian Finch Breeder. You will notice the foods are very simple and there is no mention of artificial supplements as they are completely unnecessary with this diet and entirely guesswork at best. Before I was trained at the Save the Gouldian Fund my birdroom looked like a GNC store and pharmacy combined. We now use only 5 natural foods and fresh water.
Water Schedule - Fresh Daily
Sun: Fresh Water
Mon: Fresh Water
Tue: Fresh Water
Wed: Fresh Water
Thu: Fresh Water
Fri: Fresh Water
Sat: Fresh Water
1. Maintenance and Resting Season Diet
Seed (Fresh Daily or Constant Supply Provided by Seed Hopper):
Gouldian Pro Australian Grassfinch Seed "Maintenance & Resting Season Blend"
Softfood (offered continuously mixed with the dry "Maintenance & Resting Season Seed Blend" at the ratio of 2 heaping tablespoons of softfood to 2 lbs of dry seed and 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil to bind):
STGF Complete Softfood Concentrate
Calcium Grit (offered continuously):
2. Pre-Breeding Austere Diet
Seed (Fresh Daily or Constant Supply Provided by Seed Hopper):
Gouldian Pro Australian Grassfinch Seed "Austere Diet Blend"
Nothing else in the cage except fresh water during the Austere Diet Period - No Softfood, Sprouted Seed, Calcium Grit, Vitamins, Fruits, Veggies, or Greens
3. Breeding Season Diet
Seed (Fresh Daily or Constant Supply Provided by Seed Hopper):
Gouldian Pro Australian Grassfinch Seed "Breeding & Moulting Season Blend"
Softfood and Sprouted Seed (offered fresh daily):
STGF Complete Softfood Concentrate mixed with Birds R Us Black & White Sprouting Mixes
Calcium Grit (offered continuously):
4. Molting Season Diet
Seed (Fresh Daily or Constant Supply Provided by Seed Hopper):
Gouldian Pro Australian Grassfinch Seed "Breeding & Moulting Season Blend"
Softfood and Sprouted Seed (offered fresh daily):
STGF Complete Softfood Concentrate mixed with Birds R Us Black & White Sprouting Mixes
Calcium Grit (offered continuously):
The research at the Save the Gouldian Fund has taken the guesswork out of what used to be a homespun effort that very often produces inconsistent results. With the STGF diet you can bypass constant dietary experimentation and focus on enjoying and breeding healthy Gouldians. If you have been told that Lady Gouldian Finches are difficult to keep, or you are experiencing inconsistent results, the STGF 4 Step System will work as well for you as it does for them.
P.S. Don't forget a Cuttlebone. They are something fun to do, good for beak maintenance, and an additional source of free choice calcium!

Glaucoma – 'Hypertension of the eyes,' and blindness
Before you begin to read me. Wait a second. Think back. Was any of your grand-parents blind? Or was your mother, father or relative, blind as they clocked 60 years? Was the blindness the type we call "open-eye-blindness". That is the eyes are open, appear normal, yet the person is stone-blind. Yes such blindness is usually caused by glaucoma, and it runs in the family.
■ So now let us attempt to change history, by breaking the blindness-history-jinx. So if you are above 40, and had relatives who became blind in their late 50s, please in the name of God visit an ophthalmologist now.
■ Yes, glaucoma, which is medically known as "ocular hypertension ", but which my Chief Nursing Officer(CNO), insist on calling "hypertension of the eyes", is like essential hypertension – if management starts early and properly, you will live to be a hundred, with your sights intact.
■ Let me repeat, please I said if you are above 40, and had, or still have a relative, who became blind due to glaucoma. I am urging you to check mate it immediately, by consulting an ophthalmologist, who will control the glaucoma now.
• You do not deserve to be blind for a very simple preventable illness. Research has shown that 90% of the people who became blind due to glaucoma after 50, would have had their sights intact if they had bothered to consult their ophthalmologist at the first signs of blurred vision. Now back to brass tacks.
What is glaucoma?
■ The word glaucoma is from ancient Greek – "glaukos", which means blue, green or gray in English.
■ Glaucoma has been called "the silent thief of sight" – because the loss of vision usually occurs slowly, over a long period of time. Glaucoma is the 2nd-leading cause of blindness after cataracts.
■ Glaucoma occurs most frequently after the age of 50 years. It is caused by a build up of the fluid pressure in the eye. The fluid that fills the eye(aqueous humor) is normally being continually drained away and replaced by fresh fluid.
■ Glaucoma is a disorder in which the pressure in the eyeball increases, damaging the optic nerve and causing a loss of vision.
¤ If the out flow channels are open, the disorder is called "open-angle-glaucoma". If the channels are blocked by the iris, the disorder is called " closed-angle-glaucoma"…….

Author: Sharon Moore
Publisher: Tom Doherty Associates
Okay, Shamron Moore's chic lit Hollywood Strip will probably never win a Pulitzer Prize for literature but I have to admit that it did keep me entertained without overtaxing my brain.
The yarn is simple and quite familiar involving a young woman, Callie Lambert who leaves her unexciting life in Michigan as a dental assistant to pursue her dreams of becoming an actress in Hollywood.
In the opening chapters we find Callie trying out and eventually being rejected for a modeling role with a well-known men's magazine Coquette. The magazine mixes celebrity interviews, self-help, and fashion tips for the modern man. And what really makes it titillating is its monthly multipage layout of a young woman in various states of undress exposing her breasts and butt.
Callie's confidant and good friend, Tyler, who is gay and is a make-up-artist, comes to her rescue consoling her and telling her you can't predict what these magazines are looking for. Her friend from Michigan, Candice, who is also a budding actress and model likewise cheers her up assuring her that something else is bound to come along and invites her to attend her boyfriend Lar's party.
It is at the party where Callie meets actor/producer Amir Yavari and through him Jeremy Granger who is about to produce a music video with an up-and-coming musician, Evan Marquardt. Jeremy needs a hot brunette to act in the video and offers her the role. Callie accepts the offer and has no idea that it will pull her into a series of events that will turn her life and career around where her days of not being able to book a gig are behind her. However, as Callie learns, success comes at a price, particularly your loss of privacy.
To add some icing on the cake, Evan turns out to be quite a sexy hunk with "bedroom eyes" and it doesn't take too long when the couple enjoy debauchery-filled nights with multiple rounds of sexual passion.
After appearing in the music video, Callie auditions for the part of a bisexual college girl, Layla in a low-budget horror adult movie entitled Nympho Cheerleaders Attack! Callie gets the part and assures the director that she has no problem appearing nude in sex scenes. The co-actress in the movie playing the character of Kiki is the beautiful Gabrielle (Gabby) Manx, whom Callie originally met at a convention gig where the two were modeling. In addition to acting together in this B movie, the two women begin a lasting and close friendship that unfortunately will have unforeseen consequences for one of them.
In the meantime, Callie's good friend from Michigan, Candice moves in with her when she breaks up with her boyfriend and she turns out to be out-of-control with a great deal of baggage.
Hot women, murder, sex, money, adult movies, drugs, slimy directors and actors, control freaks, jealousy, phony lifestyles and promiscuous behavior are all laid out by Moore in a lively, crisp prose style depicting the artificiality of the Hollywood scene where people will walk over dead bodies to get what they want. And Moore must know a thing or two about the lousy and smutty side of Hollywood as she has appeared in numerous commercials, television shows and feature films which no doubt came in handy when developing her characters and plot.
In the end, Hollywood Strip is an impressive well-paced debut in the adult chic lit genre that portrays the complexity of emotions as well as the harshness of fact. I look forward to hearing more from this author.

Sour cream diet
It probably sounds strange, but the diet based on sour cream helps to lose weight! In addition, such nutrition will contribute to a more harmonious work of the digestive system, the removal of excess fluid from the tissues of the body, as well as it will normalize metabolism. Thus, this diet is even considered to be curative. Nutritionists recommend such diet for people suffering from obesity and 2 type of diabetes in combination with the increased weight.
This fatty diet can last no more than two days. During these fasting days you'll be able to get rid of 1-1,5 kg of overweight. For best results, it is recommended to repeat the 2-day sour cream unloading every week for a month. It is desirable to do it at the weekend. Then be sure to take a break for a month. Of course, this doesn't mean that you can overeat during the other days.
So, the essence of the diet in the following. The daily ration of this diet is 400 grams of sour cream of 20-30% fatness, which you should divide into five portions (80 grams each) and eat every 3 hours. One-two cups of the infusion of rose hips – that's all you can drink during the day, and specifically in the intervals between meals. Eat sour cream using a teaspoon, so you can feel satiety more quickly, although the portion is very small. As you can see, a diet is not easy and has a lot of restrictions, but it's worth it.
We all know about the benefits of dairy products. How exactly can be sour cream useful for the organism? This product will eliminate the heavy feeling after a meal and will have a positive effect on skin. By the way, it excellently lifts spirits, so fasting days using this dairy product will be useful if you have a lot of stress in your life. Sour cream is a set of useful vitamins such as A, E and group B, and of course calcium! Sour cream is also useful for the prevention of atherosclerosis due to the content of lecithin.
Be careful and consult your your doctor about possible contraindications. Moreover, such a diet is not recommended for people who have physically active lifestyle. And the main recommendation – use only natural products. Good luck!

Are you a photographer looking to have your photograph released to you? Or are you a rights holder looking to release your subject matter to an artist? The law relating to this topic is the Copyright Act. That Act talks about an "artist" and "artistic work" and we use the term "subject matter". In the above example, the photographer is called an "artist", his client the "rights holder", the client's house which is photographed the "subject matter" and the photograph the "artistic work".
An artistic release is an agreement between a rights holder and an artist.
The artist wants to create artistic works, like photographs, from certain subject matter, like a house or another kind of property.
The rights holder has the rights in the subject matter – usually because they own it.
The rights holder agrees to give the artist permission to create artistic works from the subject matter in exchange for a release fee and subject to certain restrictions.
The artist needs to know how they're going to be able to use the rights holder's subject matter so that they can confidently exploit any artistic works they create from it.
A magazine photographer needs to be able to sell his photographs to make money.
Similarly, the rights holder needs to know how the artist is going to be able to use their subject matter so that they have peace of mind.
A homeowner needs to know how photographs of their home will be used.
Why you should get one
Are you an artist like a photographer or a rights holder like a homeowner in this situation?
You should get a written artistic release agreement to regulate your relationship with the other party because it will:
- Protect you;
- Make your duties to one another clear; and
- Prevent disputes between you.

So, the day has come. The final day of my Colour Series ~ Purple. I just want to take a moment to thank all of you who voted in my poll to let me know what you would like to see. I am enjoying running this series and I will most likely keep it up for a few more months. I have some ideas for future series. If you would like a say in my November Series, please vote in the poll at the top of my right hand column. There are two choices for November. Holographic or duochrome. Easy. Right? :D
So, to wrap up my week of purples I thought that I would go back to the beginning and feature one of the first Sinful Colors polishes I ever purchased. Please give a warm welcome to Daddy's Girl. Now, I had a few reasons for buying this polish. First, I won't lie... The name gave my heart a little hitch. Second, at the time I didn't have many purple polishes. In fact, this was one of my first purples, ever. (I had a couple of OPI purples, that was it.) And I just loved it in the bottle in the store. There was just... Something... About this polish that made me buy it.
Sinful Colors Daddy's Girl is a cool, deep purple jelly filled with dancing, scintillating shimmer that fires different colours, most notably a deep magenta that is almost red. There are duochrome-ish mini flakies, as well that show up under white light in the bottle. But not on the nail, that I could see. There is a whole lot of pretty in this one little glass bottle and all for the bargain price of a buck ninety-nine. Or even ninety-nine cents, when Walgreen's has one of their periodic mad Sinful sales. :D
I won't lie to you; this polish isn't super opaque. It is thin, a little sheer. I applied three coats and then top coat. In person, this looked nearly perfectly opaque. In my photographs, however, sheer city. Total VNL. You can clearly see just how incredibly long (for me! anyway) my nails were, in these photographs. Just remember, it doesn't look that sheer in person.
"Nuff yapping, hmmm? On to the photographs. This one doesn't photograph nearly as pretty as it is, in person. You are just going to have to trust me, here. Mmmkaaay?

From the beginning of an official's career, it is constantly stated that when 10 players are moving at speed within the parameters of a basketball court, CONTACT IS INEVITABLE, but not all contact is illegal. Determining what is legal and illegal contact is part of the official's development and knowledge building process. The ability to recognise and judge the consequences of contact further determines which officials will progress to higher levels.

All officials must be prepared to call the obvious and clear violations and illegal contacts. Officiating could be viewed as anticipating that something illegal is going to happen that will affect the play. There have been many training videos produced regularly to assist officials in fulfilling this responsibility.

For some reason, since I was little, I've always loved rats (I always wanted to have one as a pet) and I love cooking, so naturally, Ratatouille is one of my favorite movies. And yes, I can make ratatouille. I like making it the way Remy does in the movie rather than the traditional way – it's so pretty!
Anyway, I had to include Ratatouille in Pixar week, so here it is:
I did these a while ago, so I don't remember exactly which polishes were used, but I can probably figure it out if anyone wants to know. Sorry about the horrible clean-up on these!

Play on! 36 playwrights translate Shakespeare
Playwright Aditi Brennan Kapil & dramaturg Liz Engelman have been commissioned to translate William Shakespeare's MEASURE FOR MEASURE:
The Oregon Shakespeare Festival Launches Three-Year Shakespeare Translation Commissioning Project
Play on! 36 playwrights translate Shakespeare; playwrights and dramaturgs paired for 39 plays
News release: September 29, 2015
Ashland, Ore.—The Oregon Shakespeare Festival announced today the launch of a 39-play, three-year commissioning project, Play on! 36 playwrights translate Shakespeare. Supported by a generous grant from the Hitz Foundation and inspired by long-time OSF patron Dave Hitz's passion for Shakespeare, the project is led by Lue Morgan Douthit, OSF's director of literary development and dramaturgy.
Play on! has engaged many of the nation's leading playwrights, dramaturgs, theater professionals, expert advisors and emerging voices in the field. Among the goals of the project is to increase understanding and connection to Shakespeare's plays, as well as engage and inspire theatergoers, theater professionals, students, teachers and scholars. Play on! also will provide translated texts in contemporary modern English as performable companion pieces for Shakespeare's original texts in the hope they will be published, read and adapted for stage and used as teaching tools.
"We began this project with a 'What if?,' Douthit said. "There are differences between the early modern English of Shakespeare and contemporary English. What if we looked at these plays at the language level through the lens of dramatists? What would we learn about how they work? Would that help us understand them in a different way? 'Translate' is an inadequate word because it implies a word-for-word substitution, which isn't what we're doing. I'm going for something much more subtle. But I like the rigor that 'translate' implies. What excites me the most about this is who will dig into these texts. We have paired 36 playwrights with dramaturgs, and we are asking them to go in and look at what the plays are made of. The writers get the great joy of tagging along with the world's best poetic dramatist. It will be the geekiest exercise ever."
The project has commissioned a playwright and dramaturg for each of the 39 plays attributed to Shakespeare (including Two Noble Kinsman and Edward III). By commissioning diverse playwrights (more than 50 percent women and more than 50 percent writers of color), OSF will bring fresh voices and perspectives to the work of translation.
In approaching the task OSF has established two basic rules. First, do no harm. There is language that will not need translating and some that does. Each team is being asked to examine the play line-by-line and translate to contemporary modern English those lines that need translating. There is to be no cutting or editing of scenes and playwrights may not add their personal politics. Second, put the same kind of pressure on the language as Shakespeare put on his. This means the playwright must consider the meter, rhyme, rhythm, metaphor, rhetoric, character action and theme of the original. These translations are not adaptations. Setting, time period and references will remain unchanged.
OSF will continue its commitment to producing all of Shakespeare's plays between 2015 and 2025, and all these productions will use the original texts. One or more of the Play on! translations may be produced at OSF along with the complete original canon. It is the hope and expectation that a production will inspire audience members to return to Shakespeare's original texts, ideally with much greater understanding and enjoyment.
"My interest in the question of how to best create access to these remarkable works is life-long," OSF Artistic Director Bill Rauch said. "As a seventh grader, I translated Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream into contemporary English for my classmates to better understand it. I am delighted that the Play on! translations will give dramatists a deep personal relationship with Shakespeare's words and that they will give artists and audiences new insights into these extraordinary plays."
"I've been seeing Shakespeare plays since I was a child," Dave Hitz said. "I love reading a play before the show, especially out-loud with friends, in order to understand the performance better. When I learned that foreign translations of Shakespeare are in modern language, I was jealous. I fantasized about seeing Shakespeare performed in contemporary modern English. I'm thrilled that OSF is taking on this project. No translation can replace the original, but it can broaden the audience and provide new understanding even for those of us who love the original language. I hope these translations will attract a new audience to Shakespeare and lead them back to his original words as well."
Each play will have a reading and workshop with a director and actors to provide further insight into the work before the final drafts are submitted. OSF will produce readings and workshops of these translations all over the country. In addition, an annual convening will be held to facilitate dialogue and shared discovery among the writers.

Everyone asks if they should workout while they are sick…
WELL.. how sick are you really?! A sore throat, achy muscles and a runny nose can make you miserable, but if you still have the energy to exercise, should you? Aside from infecting everyone else at the gym, what's the real danger?
If you feel like you're coming down with a cold, you can still exercise without limitations. If you begin to feel worse after your workout, however, cut back. Take a few days off or reduce your effort to 50% of your normal capacity. Walk for 15 minutes instead of running for 30 minutes, or do one set of lifting instead of five. Also keep in mind the above-the-neck rule: If your symptoms include a runny nose, dry cough, or sneezing, you should be fine to exercise. But if your symptoms are below the neck, such a chest congestion, muscle aches, upset stomach, etc., make sure to rest.
If you have a fever, stomach symptoms or the flu, stay home. There's no need to workout if you are totally wiped out. Get to bed early, drink plenty of fluids and REST.
In conclusion, if you only have a cold.. GO but take it easy, maybe do some light cardio and lift a few weights to get your muscles pumping. You might even feel a little better afterwards!

One of the most important issues in aircraft noise monitoring systems is the correct detection and marking of aircraft sound events through their measurement profiles, as this influences the reported results. In the recent ISO 20906 (unattended monitoring of aircraft sound in the vicinity of airports) this marking task is split into: detection from the sound level time history, classification of probable aircraft sound events, and the concluding identification of aircraft sound events through non-acoustic features. An experiment was designed to evaluate the factors that influence the marking tasks and quantify their contribution to the uncertainty of the reported monitoring results for some specific cases. Several noise time histories, recorded in three different locations affected by flyover noise, were analyzed by practitioners selected according to three different expertise levels. The analysis was carried out considering three types of complementary information: noise recordings, list of aircraft events and no information at all. Five European universities and over 60 participants were involved in this experiment. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the results derived from factors such as the participant's institution or the expertise of the practitioners. Nonetheless, other factors, like the noise event dynamic range or the type of help used for marking, have a statistically significant influence on the marking tasks. They cause an increase of the uncertainty of the reported monitoring and can lead to changes in the overall results. The experiment showed that, even when there are no classification and identification errors, the detection stage causes uncertainty in the results. The standard uncertainty for detection ranges from 0.3 dB for those acoustic environments where aircraft are clearly detectable to almost 2 dB in more difficult environments.

Adrian Cole discusses open source Platform as a Service
At JBoss World 2011, Adrian Cole, an independent developer and consultant who is closely associated with jclouds, talks with SearchSOA.com reporter Jack Vaughan about open source options for platform as a service (PaaS) and other cloud concerns.
What new developments will we see from the new announcements JBoss is making?
JBoss is into Open Source, meaning free software. That's free and open – meaning you can participate in the community. But it's also free as in beer – meaning that you can use it without paying them. Extending that to cloud deployments means they're providing free runtimes. You can actually run your services on the OpenShift platform. So developers can not only develop their applications using a JBoss platform (or PHP or any other supported runtime), but they can actually put them into the cloud without paying. Before they made platform software in a free way but now they're running it in the cloud on your behalf so that's a big new difference for them.
You are involved in Infinispan which is at the heart of the new data grid JBoss is announcing. Now JBoss is talking about bringing that data grid into the JCP process; what do you think about that?
The JCP is where all Java standards come from. Portable Java platforms are possible because there is some sort of a JCP standard for them. The new hooks that are being offered for traditional PaaS offerings – from Google Apps Engine or wherever – are enticing and developers want to use them, but vendors don't always push those hooks into standards, so you can't always guarantee you can safely migrate on and off that platform. As we look at the future of JBoss-style technologies, it makes sense for the vendors to take developer API hooks to the JCP for standardization. One of the tenets of the JBoss ideal is to use standards that exist and create new standards for the needs of new platforms. A huge example there is data grids. The data grid JSR is going to be a way to switch between them and a competitor and provide a choice for the customer.
Could you give us a little bit of the history of jclouds? I know that project is close to your heart.
jClouds helps you deal with a lack of standards. There are a bunch of different providers, and they don't have a standard API right now. Jclouds provides a portability layer that's not standardized yet, but it is the same for various providers. You can use the same code with different cloud providers without knowing all the intricate details of each vendor.
Does jclouds focus primarily on provisioning?
Yeah, jclouds has a few functional areas. We focus on two very popular ones. The first is BlobStore for NoSQL style stores with portability. Second is provisioning service, which lets you create control a group of virtual or physical machines that you can deploy your runtime to. So for example, if you were running a JBoss grid, then you could use jclouds to boot up all the software needed to push that out – and maybe even shut down and grow the cluster as demand requires. So you can build a lot of interesting systems on top.
Read the full transcript from this video below:
Adrian Cole discusses open source Platform as a Service
Jack Vaughan: This is Jack Vaughan for SearchSOA.com. I'm speaking with
Adrian Cole. I'm at the JBoss World. Adrian is an Independent Developer/Consultant
and is heavily involved in JCloud.
I'd like to ask you when looking at platform and service. How does it change or what
do you think the influence is in the fact that JBoss has announced some products
around it today?
Adrian Cole: I think first off, one of the things that JBoss they've been,
the opened source which is free software and that means, you're free as you
can view and participate in the software and free as in you can use it without
paying them.
Cloud deployments, taking that to the next level means that now they're offering
free run times. You can actually run your services on their, let's call it, open shift
platform and so a developer can actually, not only develop their software using
something like JBoss platform or PHP or the other run times they support but also
actually put them into the cloud and not pay. So that's something that's a new
thing for them.
Before, they were about like making platform software in a free way but
now they're actually getting into running it in the cloud on behalf of you.
So that's a big new difference for them.
Jack Vaughan: I'd like to ask you too. I know you're involved within Infinispan
and that's at the heart of JBoss data grid discussed here at this conference.
And I know they're talking about taking it into the JCP process too.
What do you think?
Adrian Cole: Yes. I mean, first off, the JCP is where all of the Java standards
come out of so when somebody says you have a portable Java platform, the
reason they can say that is because there is some sort of JCP standard out
there for that. And traditionally speaking, if you look at a lot of platforms as
a service offerings, the new hooks that are created by like a Google app
engine or whatever are very enticing. Developers want to use them but the
vendors don't always actually take these hooks and push them into a standard
so that you can actually safely migrate on and off their platform.
So I think as you look at the future of JBoss type of technologies, their
platform plays and as they start to offer data grid services it makes a lot of
sense for them to take the APIs that developers hook into and push them
to the JCPs so they become a standard so they can have a chance to moving
to wherever they want to be because one of the main tenants of the JBoss
ideals is to actually use standards as they exist and then create new standards
for the new technology the platform needs.
So one of the biggest things you got there is data grids and so as represented
by like a reference implementation Infinispan, the data grid JSR is going
to be a way to switch between them and maybe one of their competitors
so that the customer ends up with choice.
Jack Vaughan: Let me ask you too, Adrian, about JCloud because it's
close to your heart, so what's a little bit of history of that?
Adrian Cole: Well, actually JCloud is in a way is helping you deal with
the lack of standards, to be frank, because if you look at how Amazon
and Azure and the Rackspace and OpenStack and all these other cloud
providers, they don't actually a standard API right now.
So what this does is it actually gives you a portability layer that's not standardized yet.
But it's the same so, for example, what you can do is you can use the same
code and work with these different cloud providers move your processes to
them without having to know all the intricate details of each cloud service provider.
Jack Vaughan: Can JCloud focus essentially on provisioning?
Adrian Cole: Yes. JCloud has a few functional areas we focus on.
The two most popular ones we have are Blob store which is like how
you access key value in USQL stores such as Amazon S3 or Rackspace
cloud files or a Microsoft Azure blog service and do that portably.
And then the other thing that's quite popular is provisioning the service
which allows you to create and control groups of virtual machines or even
physical machines so that you can deploy your run times to it. So for example
if you're running like a JBoss grid then you can use JClouds to actually boot
off all of the software needed to push that out and then maybe even shut
down and grow the cluster as demand is required.
So you can build a lot of interesting systems on top.

The high-yield corporate bond market has gone through "a dramatic earthquake" in the past six weeks because of surging interest rates and that move could impact stocks, Pimco founder and chief investment officer Bill Gross told CNBC on Tuesday.
Gross, whose firm has about $700 billion in assets under management said on "Street Signs" that the fallout could hurt stocks as well.
"We've had a dramatic earthquake of about 8.0 magnitude in the high-yield market in the last six weeks and ultimately equities are going to have to take cognizance of that," said Gross.

This year's spring fundraiser at
Intermediate School
( ) was a little different. The
organizers weren't looking forward to pounding the pavement, knocking on doors,
and trying to sell stuff to their neighbors. In the current tough economy,
those kinds of efforts don't bring the results they used to anyway. So they
came up with a sweet new idea—why not make a World Record attempt instead? Orange County, California
Dreyer's donated the all-important component: fifty gallons of sweet, creamy vanilla ice cream! Other items were needed too, however; Home Depot gave the school enough plastic rain gutter length to hold the record-breaking treat. The final piece of the puzzle finally arrived on the big day: about 400 people armed with ice cream scoops. For a little less than an hour, the volunteers worked to build the new world's largest ice cream sundae—breaking the two-week-old record by 22 feet. It wouldn't be a sundae without plenty of delicious toppings, so the workers tossed in sprinkles, cookies, sauces, and other tasty treats. We imagine the completed sundae didn't survive very long, with 400 hungry ice cream lovers standing around!
Reporters from the Orange County Register were on hand to document the event, posting video and photos of the amazing sundae on their website. Officials from the school did their own documentation work as well, producing a video that will go to the Guinness Book of World Records for verification. If the editors approve it and no other ambitious group builds a longer sundae,
will enter the next edition of the record book. Serrano
Intermediate School
Inspired to make your own ice cream sundae? Maybe you don't have the resources to try for the longest record, but "most delicious" just may be within reach! To get you started, we've provided a page with fun ideas, advice and some really creative sundae recipes submitted by our fans. Try them out on your family, or submit your own recipe idea! We'd love to see how you are pushing the boundaries of the ice cream sundae.

Yep, I think too much for sure and I don't like my life to be too chaotic and busy, it stresses me out. I do love silence and I'm happy with having time by myself, though that is probably when I'm thinking too much :-) I am definitely a reserved person and do have trouble being open and connecting to others. I do have a hard time making decisions sometimes because like it says I overthink small things. I'm worried I won't make the right decision. Anyway, I found this interesting. So now you all know more about me!
Oh and you know that Anthropologie coat in this post that I said I wanted so bad? Well, I went to Target last night and saw one very similar to that one and I LOVED it! It was only $39 instead of $160 like the Anthropologie one. I'll post a picture of my cute new coat later just in case you want to see it :-) Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

New tools provide athletes college recommendations, suggestions from their coaches
Communication between coaches and athletes is key to success in college recruiting. Coaches understand the capabilities of their athletes and have valuable input that can help their athletes find the best recruiting opportunities.
It's important that coaches meet with their athletes and parents regularly to discuss college recruiting but finding time to do so can be difficult.
The latest FieldLevel features solve this problem.
Based on feedback from coaches who've successfully helped their athletes play at the next level, this comprehensive set of tools helps coaches research colleges and suggest schools for their athletes to target. Athletes can research colleges as well as review recommendations of schools they should consider and suggestions from their coaches without having to schedule a face-to-face meeting.
Coach-To-Athlete Messaging
To help coaches and athletes communicate quickly and easily, coaches can send messages directly to their athletes on FieldLevel. This is a great way for coaches to chat with their athletes about recruiting, suggested colleges to target, profile updates and team related info: Coach-To-Athlete Messaging
College Search Tool
Researching schools can be overwhelming given how many different colleges there are. The FieldLevel College Search Tool helps athletes and coaches identify the right colleges to target and pursue. Using this tool coaches and athletes can filter colleges by location, school size, tuition, major, and more: Search Colleges
Suggested Target Schools
Not only do coaches know their athletes best, they have also built relationships with college coaches and know what type of athletes colleges are looking to recruit. To help coaches easily communicate this information and help their athletes target the right schools, coaches can suggest colleges for their athletes to target. Athletes can easily review these suggestions and add them to their Target Schools List on FieldLevel: Suggest Schools
Athletes and coaches on FieldLevel receive recommendations of colleges to help identify which schools are a great fit and meet their needs. Each athlete receives unique college recommendations using information from the athletes, their coaches and colleges. The goal of Recommendations is to provide guidance on which colleges are the best fit for athletes and confidence for coaches and athletes to pursue these opportunities: See Recommendations

Afghanistan Reality Check: Taliban Strikes Undermine U.S. OptimismPosted: September 14, 2011 Filed under: Afghanistan | Tags: civilian casualties, Haqqani, suicide bombing, Taliban, transition, US Embassy Kabul Leave a comment
Claims by U.S. officials that the insurgents are on the run are challenged by new attacks in the capital
Four earth-shaking explosions in Kabul on Tuesday signaled the start of the Taliban's latest riposte to claims by the top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan that the insurgents are on the run. After a Sunday truck bombing that had injured 77 American troops, militants stormed a high-rise close to the U.S. embassy and began firing rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns. In hellish scenes replayed repeatedly on Afghan TV, dust swirled on deserted streets as civilians, some soaked in their own blood, fled whenever a letup in the fighting allowed. Under a gunmetal sky, Afghan military Mi-24 Hind helicopter gunships flew in to support a rapid-reaction force, unleashing bursts of heavy machine-gun fire back at insurgent positions. "This is not an exercise," the public-address system at nearby NATO headquarters crackled. "This is an ongoing situation." Read the rest of this entry »
The siege of Parun and the mystery of the Du Ab airstrikesPosted: June 12, 2011 Filed under: Afghanistan | Tags: civilian casualties, Nuristan Leave a comment
Miles Amoore has lots of fresh detail on the Taliban's takeover of Nuristan in the Sunday Times, including the siege of the provincial capital, Parun:
So far a militia led by a former Taliban commander and backed by Afghan police has held the Taliban at bay outside the city. But the blockade has brought the city to its knees, sources say.
Nato denies Parun is under siege but acknowledges that "insurgent activity on the roads … up to Parun has restricted civilian and Afghan police movement".
Amoore also provides the only account to appear in the mainstream media of the NATO airstrikes that took place in Du Ab (or Doab or Do Ab, you choose) on May 25:
When the planes screeched over Doab, the only police commander who had refused to surrender, Commander Said Rasoul, was having lunch with his men next to a field of wheat. The Taliban, who had entered the main town that morning, had been taunting Rasoul over his radio, his cousin Qari Daoud said. Read the rest of this entry »
Nato urged to investigate Afghan 'war criminal' employed by USPosted: March 23, 2011 Filed under: Afghanistan | Tags: ASG, Azizullah, civilian casualties, human rights, Special Forces, war crimes Leave a comment
The head of Afghanistan's Independent Human Rights Commission has urged Hamid Karzai's government and Nato to investigate allegations, first reported in The Independent, that an Afghan strongman employed by United States Army Special Forces embarked on a spate of war crimes, including rape, the summary execution of children, and torture. "We call on Special Forces – indeed, any forces – and the Afghan government to conduct an investigation of these allegations and find out if [the allegations are] correct or not," said Nader Nadery, who heads the Human Rights Commission.
He said the commission would make its own efforts to verify the claims against Commander Azizullah, the leader of a US-sponsored militia in the south-eastern Paktika province, but that "it is a core responsibility of the government of Afghanistan to launch an investigation… this is the only way to build confidence in [the country's security] forces".

Afghanistan: 'If he is aware of our complaints, he will find us and kill us', say witnessesPosted: March 18, 2011 Filed under: Afghanistan | Tags: ASG, Azizullah, civilian casualties, human rights, Special Forces, war crimes Leave a comment
Proper procedure would have been to detain and question the family he suspected of hosting Taliban insurgents but Azizullah did things differently, opening fire on their house with his men. Then they locked the survivors inside. And then they set the place ablaze.
This story is one of many separate alleged instances reported by interviewees during an investigation by The Independent lasting several months. Three separate reports, including two by the UN from early 2010, confirmed many of The Independent's findings, and documented their own, separate allegations of atrocities.

Revealed: Afghan chief accused of campaign of terror is on US payrollPosted: March 18, 2011 Filed under: Afghanistan | Tags: ASG, Azizullah, civilian casualties, human rights, Special Forces, war crimes Leave a comment
Witnesses back leaked UN reports detailing claims of rape and murder against feared Tajik warlord
An Afghan warlord backed by US special forces faces persistent allegations that he launched a two-year spate of violence involving burglary, rape and murder of civilians, desecration of mosques and mutilation of corpses. Yet, despite repeated warnings about the atrocities Commander Azizullah is alleged to have committed, he has remained on the payroll of the US military as an "Afghan security guard", a select band of mercenaries described by some as "the most effective fighting formation in Afghanistan".
Interviews with religious leaders, tribal elders, villagers, contractors and Western and Afghan officials all pointed to a reign of terror in which they believe 31-year-old Azizullah, a ethnic Tajik, targeted Pashtun civilians while fighting the Taliban. Although individual allegations, all from ethnic Pashtuns, might be inaccurate, malicious or motivated by envy of Azizullah's close and lucrative links to US special forces, taken together they come from sources belonging to a range of tribes and from several areas. The testimony also tallied with several independent reports documenting the allegations against Azizullah and seen by The Independent, including two confidential reports compiled by UN officials and circulated to Nato personnel last year.

Why Afghans Don't Bash the Taliban for BombingsPosted: February 18, 2011 Filed under: Afghanistan | Tags: civilian casualties, Khost, suicide bombing Leave a comment
The civilian collateral damage of Taliban bombings is enormous, and yet coalition forces never catch a break because of it. Why?
It was carnage. There was a momentary crackle of gunfire and then, as a powerful car bomb detonated in Khost, a city in southeastern Afghanistan, a shock wave splintered trees and scattered body parts across 50 m of parkland and marketplace. Rags from what looked like children's clothes lay caught on the twisted metal of an axle; nearby, shops' windows were blown in, and the dirt road was slicked with blood. The iron strut supporting a giant billboard was bent like a paper clip.
Officials say nine people died and more than 30 were wounded in the Feb. 18 suicide bombing, although the toll rose over the course of the day and could still increase, with at least four survivors in critical condition. Among the casualties were women, children and two policemen, according to the public-health director for the province. It was a reminder that although spectacular attacks in Kabul, the capital, garner lots of airtime and column inches, most of Afghanistan's violence takes place in the provinces, where murderous atrocities can go unreported and don't attract attention in the way an attack against Westerners does.

Supermarket Attack: A Dangerous Turn in KabulPosted: January 28, 2011 Filed under: Afghanistan | Tags: civilian casualties, suicide bombing Leave a comment
The suicide assault on an upscale grocery patronized by foreign residents in the capital may be the beginning of a violent new phase in the war in Afghanistan
A suicide bomber blew himself up in a popular grocery close to the British, Canadian and Pakistani missions in Kabul Friday afternoon in an indiscriminate attack that analysts say could spell the beginning of a new trend in the Afghan capital. Unlike most previous attacks, this one fell on the Afghan weekend and was timed to inflict maximum civilian casualties as predominantly Western shoppers browsed through the store on their day off.
The bomber, a man in his 40s with dark skin and a long beard according to one witness, shot his way into the grocery, threw one or possibly two grenades and then detonated his vest. By late Friday night the death toll had reached nine, including a child and four Filipinos — probably employees of one of the many contractors working in Afghanistan. The nationalities of the other victims, including two wounded shoppers in critical condition, are still unknown. Read the rest of this entry »

Manifest Your Desires: 365 Ways to Make Your Dreams a Reality by Esther and Jerry Hicks, is a beautiful book to raise your spirit and vibration.
Not strictly a 'how to' Law of Attraction book, more of a collections of affirmations, one for each day of the year, to help raise your vibration, and manifest desires, so that you're living the joyous and fulfilling life you deserve.
If you are looking for a lovely book to raise your spirits, then this delightful, small and colorful book, is a must-have.
To help you to grasp, accept and use these Laws to help you to deliberately create. Here you'll find more information on Abraham Hicks, and an introduction to the teachings of Abraham and the Law of Attraction
Visit this page for more Abraham Hicks Law of Attraction Books
Beautiful Book, But Not a How-To. I pictured a how-to book on ways to manifest. Instead, the book is a collection of 365 affirmations that is packaged in a delightful, small and colorful book.
Included with the affirmations is a short introduction:
"We've put together this information-packed little book, which presents the teachings of the Non-Physical entity Abraham, to help you learn how to Manifest your desires so that you're living the joyous and fulfilling life you deserve."
"Each day you'll come to understand how your relationships, health issues, finances, career concerns and more are influenced by the Universal laws that govern your time-space reality--and you'll discover powerful processes that will help go with the positive flow of life."
Sounds great--but for practical, down-to-earth advice on how to really manifest your desires, my favorite book is Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life, Your Home and Your Planet.
This book includes what you may already know about the law of attraction with some extra energy boosts to help ensure success.
I also recommend Law of Attraction: The Science of Attracting More of What You Want and Less of What You Don't for learning the hows of manifestation.
However, if you are looking for a lovely book to raise your spirits, this book is a must-have.

WOW, cannot say how wonderful and great they were. My tenant had moved out and DISTROYED her living area. The carpets were burnt, stained, molded, dog messes dried and mushed in, food ground in & left on the floor for months to years. They were beyond horrible and honestly figured when Jay came in to do the estimate he was going to tell me he could do nothing and I would have to replace them all.
I had Jay's crew come in and clean them anyhow and I cannot say how wonderful of a job they did. I honestly could not tell you what color the carpet was in the kitchen before they cleaned, turns out after they cleaned it, I found out that there is a really nice patterned carpet under all the mess she left behind. Not a dog spot left and they were able to get out most everything she had ground into the floor–it was better then I expected.
In the living room there was food left under the bed to rot and left behind stains, marks, smells & there were even burn marks. I thought it was a grey carpet until they cleaned it. Not only did they get most of the really bad stains out I found that it is actually a beautiful light blue carpet. With the amount of space they cleaned and the work they had to perform in order to complete the job, it took no time at all. I did expect them to be there for hours working on it but they were only there 1/2-1 hour. Very professional, extremely polite, they gave off the vibe of 'I love my career' and did more than a wonderful job.
Jay was wonderful with the estimate, Yvonne his office personnel was extremely helpful and always nice & willing to help and the two cleaners that came in to do the work were the best.
If you need it cleaned, they can do it. I would recommend them to EVERYONE and I WILL be having them back to do more work and on a regular basis also.Christina Sessions,
They cleaned three bedrooms, a living room, hallway and stairs. Also, everything was scotchgarded and they threw in a free sofa cleaning. I have had my carpets cleaned by other companies before, but my carpets looked way better this time, and they dried faster then they had in the past. they cleaned in the morning, and carpets were dry before dinner. Jay the owner was able to remove a large red wine stain in the living room carpet.Samantha Murphy,
The two young men that performed the cleaning actually arrived early, did a good job and were both very congenial.Gerald Pagel,
They were there right on time and finished in a reasonable amount of time. They did great work. I'd recommend them to anyone.Trace L,

Zola Groh doesn't think she is special for dedicating dozens of hours a month, year after year for 38 years to a local nonprofit. Of course, she is special for doing so and recently received recognition to prove it. She was named Volunteer of the Year by the Michigan Community Action Agency Association this spring, for her work at Mid Michigan Community Action.
"I was pleased to receive the award. But I do the work because I just love to. It makes me productive. I get to see my friends and positively impact my community. I never did it to expect an award," said Groh.
Groh received her well-deserved award in Lansing earlier this spring in front of 29 Community Action Agencies, Michigan Department of Human Services director Maura D. Corrigan, and other supporters.
Groh has been lead volunteer with Mid Michigan Community Action's various food programs, including both Community Service Food Program (CSFP) and The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). Never stopping short of exceptional service and ownership of responsibility, Groh sometimes delivers meals to homebound seniors herself, signs in other volunteers, has been responsible for finding the nonprofit a new home for one of its food sites (at her church Pinconning United Methodist) and much more.
"Zola is one of those remarkable people that we in the Community Action world are so thankful for. She tirelessly gives to our many causes with not only her heart and soul, but with her community connections and engaging spirit, too," said Jill Sutton, Mid Michigan Community Action Executive Director.
Important notes:
• CSFP and TEFAP slots are open. These federally funded food assistance programs are designed for low-income families and individuals. See if you qualify by calling 989-894-9060 in Bay County, 989-832-7310 in Midland County, or 989-386-3805 in Clare County.
May is National Community Action Month. Across the United States volunteers and other Community Action champions are being applauded for their intricate part in the success of Community Action. Helping people and changing lives from within the community being served has long been Community Action's cornerstone. We thank Zola Groh and the hundreds of volunteers who freely give their time and energy to support our mission.

MINE 472 is an online course offered by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Queen's University.
In order to address issues related to safety, productivity, and remote operations, the world's mineral resources industry has been gradually shifting towards the increased use of automated systems and robotically-enhanced machines. It is important, therefore, that graduate engineers understand how these new technologies work so as to improve and make best use of them.
This online course introduces senior students to the fundamental tools and techniques of automation and robotics as applied to modern mining practice. It provides an introduction to the basics of systems control, examples of how methods of automatic control can be applied to mining equipment and associated industrial vehicles, as well as to the fundamentals of sensing and navigation as applied to the design of robotic mobile equipment.
MINE 472 is a fourth-year technical elective in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Queen's University. Enrolment is open to students from a range of engineering disciplines, to students from universities other than Queen's, and even to industry professionals.
- Queen's students should register as usual or contact Tina McKenna in the Mining Office.
- People not from Queen's should apply via a Letter of Permission from their home university. Click here for more information.
- People not registered at a university should contact Stacey Shane in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.

Numerical Computing in Julia
In MINE 472 we use the Julia language for numerical computing. You will learn how to write small programs to simulate the motion of vehicles and robots, and test your control/automation designs by implementing them in simulation to evaluate their potential performance. Julia is a high-level language, with very simple and familiar syntax.
For those who have used MATLAB, Julia is very similar and the learning curve will be very short. However, Julia is free and open source, and with Juliabox you can run Julia in a browser, from anywhere, without installing anything on your computer.

Shire, the country's third biggest drugmaker, has intensified the debate over Britain's corporate tax regime with plans to move its tax base to Ireland from the UK.
The FTSE-100 company said it was applying to a court to create a new holding company incorporated in tax-haven Jersey and would become tax resident in Ireland, where corporate tax rates are less than half those in the UK.
The 22-year-old biopharmaceutical firm whose key products include a treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), said its headquarters would remain in Basingstoke and it did not plan to cut or relocate any UK jobs.
But its board of directors will hold meetings in its Dublin office once the tax residence move gets court approval.
Most importantly, the move means it will be subject to an official corporate tax rate of 12.5%, compared with 28% in the UK.
Shire defended its move as a reflection of the company's evolution from a "primarily UK business to an international business, with the vast majority of its revenues generated from outside the UK".
"Shire has concluded that its business and its shareholders would be better served by having an international holding company with a group structure that is designed to help protect the group's taxation position, and better facilitate the group's financial management."
A Shire spokeswoman stressed it was not stopping UK tax payments outright.
"We will not pay corporation tax in the UK but will continue to pay tax in the UK on our UK business," she said.
The most recent figures available from Shire show it paid £8.8m in taxes in the UK in 2006, of which £4.2m was corporation tax.
Its move to benefit from lower rates in Ireland adds to the debate over Britain's need to hang on to big business balanced with ensuring companies and individuals pay fair rates of tax.
Trade unions point out many companies already use loopholes, accounting tricks and other tax avoidance techniques to ensure they do not pay the top rate of corporation tax. Business groups argue the UK risks losing more businesses to other tax regimes if it does not become more competitive.
Business lobby group the CBI said Shire's decision deepened its concerns about the UK corporate tax system.
"We are particularly worried that an uncompetitive corporate tax system is spoiling the UK's attractiveness as a place to do business, and that other internationally-mobile firms will follow Shire's path," said CBI director-general Richard Lambert.
Last month, technology giant Yahoo announced it was moving its European headquarters from London to Switzerland to increase competitiveness and deliver "efficiencies".
A recent survey by accountancy firm KPMG blamed complex rules and a mass of legislation for putting the UK in the bottom half of a league table of the most attractive places to do business in Europe.
The study ranked Cyprus, Ireland and Switzerland top for their combination of easy-to-understand rules, low tax rates and stable fiscal laws. The UK came 12th out of 22 countries for the attractiveness of their domestic tax regimes.
But trade unions have repeatedly slammed what they see as an ingrained tax avoidance culture in the UK.
Union federation, the TUC, published a report in February claiming companies and wealthy individuals were manipulating the tax system to avoid paying £25bn of tax each year.
Tax specialist Richard Murphy studied Britain's top 50 companies for the report and said their effective corporation tax rate was 22.5% and not the official 30% rate, which has since dropped to 28%.
The Treasury argues the UK has set the lowest corporation tax rate in the G7 group of industrialised countries.
A spokesman said: "Tax is just one of a range of factors that contribute to our global competitiveness, along with our highly skilled workforce, world class infrastructure, and the internationalism and openness that make us home to more foreign banks than anywhere in the world."
