Fuzy This article is exploring the facts of managerial work in two major United kingdom supermarket stores. While the prescriptive literature embraces the displacement of bureaucratic management by rote with leadership, scientific accounts of what managers actually do underscore how the purported tenets of leadership tend to disappear after closer inspection, even with the discursive level. This analyze observes and discusses the discrepancy involving the rhetoric of leadership articulated by executives at the corporate head offices and the real roles and responsibilities of managers in stores. Function was securely controlled and managers got little true freedom. We draw about empirical data to argue both that while command in practice properly secured only trivial freedoms such freedoms were highly highly valued and that educational analysis ought to follow these types of managers within their ability to distinguish between rhetorical flourishes and reallife job design and style. Leadership in practice is routine and local.

Intro This article explores the facts of bureaucratic work in two major Uk supermarkets restaurants. While the prescriptive literature welcomes the shift of bureaucratic management by simply rote with leadership (see for example Zaleznik 1992), empirical accounts of what managers and frontrunners actually do underscore how the proposed tenets of 'leadership' tend to disappear after closer inspection, even in the discursive level (Meindl ain al. 1985, Alvesson and Sveningsson 2003a, 2003b, Tengblad 2004). Kelly (2008) features taken issue with the tendency in the leadership literature of discounting the ordinary everyday work process of managers in lieu of a extended effort to theoretically pin down how management really needs to be conceptualised. This individual argues which the common terminology used by different writers conceals a wide range of practice and that leadership is locally produced. All of us join Kelly's contention that 'the evidently mundane techniques that are made liable and therefore visible remain unexplicated and positively ignored' (2008: 774) which this is disappointing. We curve from his emphasis on the reification of leadership through language video games, however , and focus rather on the dissonance between the salience of management in the popular and doctor representations of management careers and the actual limits towards the discretion, initiative and control that managers are able to physical exercise in the tangible, routine and core practices associated with all their roles. This kind of dissonance was actively used by the supermarkets' business models. Celebratory accounts of management were cascaded down the managerial hierarchy, from your corporate head office to the department managers, to spur bureaucratic staff to greater efforts in routine work. The empirical material we value to support these kinds of claims originates from a study of managers and managerial operate the stores of two of Britain's largest supermarkets. In the four store sites where exploration was carried out, the work of managers was heavily recommended, with buying, product amounts, stock amounts, store designs, pricing, special offers and staffing policies...

Better yet, the Gamer Xtreme VR is very easy to open up, making it a great starting point for gamers who eventually want to upgrade to more powerful parts.
How do you improve on one of the slickest and easiest-to-upgrade desktops around? Simply add Intel's new 8th-gen processors, a handy front-facing USB-C port and tons of customization options at the point of purchase.

How We Test Gaming PCs
Every gaming desktop we review endures a standardized gauntlet of real-world and benchmark tests, in order to measure how each PC stacks up as both a gaming machine and as an everyday computer.
As far as hard numbers go, we currently run the framerate benchmark utilities for Rise of the Tomb Raider, Hitman, Grand Theft Auto V and Middle-earth: Shadow of War at 1920 x 1080 with graphics maxed out, as well as at 2560 x 1440 and 4K if a system allows for it. On top of that, we simply play tons of graphics-intensive games such as Star Wars Battlefront II, Injustice 2 and Forza Horizon 4 in order to give you a sense of how these gaming desktops hold up in the real world.
In terms of synthetic tests, we run a gamut of benchmarks that include 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra (for graphics) and Geekbench 4 (for processor performance). We also run the SteamVR Performance Test on all of our machines to evaluate how ready they are for virtual reality. To test a system's hard drive, we measure how fast each PC can copy 4.97GB worth of multimedia files.
What Gaming PCs Cost
The price of gaming PCs varies wildly, depending on what specs you're after. You can find a decent rig for as low as $600, though you'll be settling for entry-level processors and graphics cards at that range. You'll need to pay between $800 and $1,000 to start getting into VR-ready territory, at at least $1,500 for something that can reasonably handle 4K gaming.
If money isn't an issue, there are plenty of boutique manufacturers such as OriginPC and Maingear that allow you to build the exorbitant, custom-painted PC of your dreams for anywhere between $2,000 and $10,000.
Getting VR-Ready
If you plan on gaming in VR, pay close attention to specs. At the minimum, the Oculus Rift requires an Nvidia GTX 960 or AMD equivalent graphics card, an Intel Core i3-6100 or AMD FX4350 processor, 8GB of RAM, two USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI 1.3 port and Windows 8 or newer. However, Oculus recommends at least a GTX 970 and Core i5 processor for the best experience.
For the Vive, HTC recommends a Core i5-4590 or AMD FX 8350 CPU, an Nvidia GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 480 GPU, 4GB of RAM, an HDMI 1.4 port or DisplayPort 1.2 or newer, 1 USB 2.0 port and Windows 7 or newer.
You can use Valve's SteamVR Performance Test to ensure your PC is Vive-ready; Oculus offers a more basic system-scanning tool on the Rift's store page.

A 58-year-old man with type 2 diabetes of 10 years' duration, presented at casualty with a cellulitic right foot and blue 5th toe (Fig. 6.19). Pedal pulses were bounding and he did not complain of pain. He was admitted for intravenous antibiotics and a ray amputation was performed to remove all necrotic and sloughy tissue. When the dressing was 'taken down' after 48 h the wound bed was grey
and sloughy. The wound was irrigated with 2% Milton for 4 days until a wound bed of pink, healthy granulations was present, after which it was cleansed with saline and dressed with a foam dressing. He was discharged after 3 weeks. The foot healed in 6 weeks with minimal scarring; he received follow-up care in the diabetic foot clinic, and ulceration did not recur.
Key points
• Digital necrosis in the neuropathic limb is best treated by toe or ray amputation
• At surgery all necrotic tissue should be removed but sometimes it is difficult to be sure about the viability of all tissue at the operation site
• Thus at the first postoperative dressing, the wound may still contain necrotic and sloughy tissue
• Patients are sometimes taken back to operating theatre for the first change in dressings when further operative debridement can be carried out if necessary
• When postoperative wounds in neuropathic feet are sloughy, Milton irrigation can be used until the wound bed shows healthy granulations
• Milton irrigation does not appear to impair healing of sloughy wounds.

The episode in which North Carolina is cut off from porn, AMC Theaters let the internet scare them away from making smartphone friendly auditoriums, Fandango is changing the ticketing game, Avatar is now getting 4 sequels, Mark Rylance is Steven Spielberg's new favorite actor, Pokemon might get the live action treatment, and the Loch Ness Monster was found. Plus, we dedicate a section just to superhero news (#Batfleck), speculate about Alphabet's Sidewalk Labs, Sony's Emoji movie doesn't sound horrible, Star Trek Beyond in Barco Escape, another Fahrenheit 451 adaptation, and the return of Warren Beatty.
Two Cents 039: Cinema of Future Past
The episode in which David joins us again, Indiana Jones 5 happens, Netflix rescues The Little Prince and snags Bright, Universal did racial profiling through Facebook to promote Straight Outta Compton, M-Go has become Fandango Now, Redbox might be sold off, Regal is no longer allowing kids into R-rated films, we get deeper on our thoughts of The Screening Room, and breakdown Sony's GDC news on Playstation VR, Vue, and a rumored PS4 upgrade. Plus, Microsoft's Actiongram, Twitch going culinary, livestreaming mobile VR content, a movie about Michael Jackson's chimp, another Obama movie, DC's The Killing Joke, the Dawn of Justice Director's Cut, Judge Judy's salary, and Netflix staying romantic.
P.S. The image is from the We Bare Bears episode "Shush Ninjas" which totes gets us.
Two Cents 031: #OscarsSoWhite
The episode in which we used a hashtag in the title so we never have to talk about this again, China continues to take hold in Hollywood, Netflix crosses 75 million subscribers, HBO goes 100% streaming in Spain, Amazon and A24 buy up Sundance, Rob Cohen is making a natural disaster/heist flick, Greta Gerwig is trying the director's chair, Labyrinth is getting a reboot, Tarantino universe tidbits, Star Wars Episode VIII moves to Christmas, Kevin Smith made a pot dispensary pilot, Judd Apatow gets another TV show, and I accidentally placed a cool Netflix sci-fi movie announcement at the end.

1. What is the difference between "Black gel coat" and "Clear" finish?
We make all the parts the same in the sense of materials; gel coat is the first layer down, then polyester resin with the reinforcements of carbon fiber, then a layer of fiberglass and finally an additional layer of carbon fiber.
When we use black gelcoat, it covers any small imperfections or pin hole bubbles in the lay up. These are non structural issues, simply cosmetic. When we use the clear gel coat, every little imperfection is visible and it takes a lot more time to get it looking great. Consequently the clear gel coat parts cost more from a time and material standpoint. We also clear coat over the clear gel gel coat with a PPG Polyurethane that is helpful with the UV protection. This is yet more steps of sanding, painting, sanding and buffing. The black or dark gray parts come with either a black gel coat finish or a dark gray primer finish that you can paint over or wrap.
2. What is the ground clearance difference compare to the OEM bumper lip (Front spoiler and Side skirt only)?
The Maier parts are not hanging any lower than the floor of the car. That said the front spoiler's shape is extending forward of the nose an inch or so and makes is easier to hit for the lowered cars navigating the curb stones or parking lot concrete.
3. Will this affect range (as in gas mileage for gas cars) (Front and Rear spoiler only)
Our customers HAVE done millage test and reported back "no noticeable" range changes. It is challenging to get perfect results in imperfect testing methods so, we can not officially make black & white claims.
4. Does this void warranty?
The parts are bolt on or tape parts to the existing panels. We are not aware of any warranty concerns at this point. Tesla has tested some of our parts but has not come back with any conclusive statements.
5. How is it being mounted to the car? Do I have to drill any holes on my car?
The rear spoilers are (2) sided 3M tape only. The front spoiler and side skirts are mounted with tape and with 4 or 6 bolts. Holes need to be drilled ONLY to the Maier parts to fit up with the stock holes on the Tesla. Meaning, if you choose to take the parts off at some point, you can put the car back to original without addressing unnecessary holes.
6. Are they UV protected?
Yes, We use Polyester resin, marine UV stable gel coats and ultimately PPG polyurethane clear coat with a touch of black pigment.
While there are companies out there that argue the epoxies are the best way to laminate a part (I, Charles Maier, can say that since 1992, I have been using Epoxies & Polyesters) I choose to make these in Polyester and while there is a list of pros & cons to consider, we think the polyesters in the long run are the best solution for non yellowing, clear carbon parts over time.
7. How much does it weight?
The parts range is weight from 2 to 4 lbs depending on the item.
8. Is it real carbon fiber?
Absolutely… We use a custom woven plain weave fabric made by Composite Fabrics of America in Taylorsville, NC. This special weave is an 8 by 12 unbalanced warp & fill. Meaning, we have less toes or strands in one direction. It helps to separate the material a little allowing the fabric to lay flat against the surface of the part, giving the appearance of a fatter bundle. We love the look of this!!
9. Is fiberglass or polyurethane version available?
You are welcome to email us about making fiberglass parts if you like. We do NOT make a polyurethane option.
10. How soon will my order ship?
We make every effort to stock these parts on the shelf. Given the current production, if we are out of stock you may wait up to a week for the item to be boxed up to ship. If the items are not in stock we will notify you immediately with an estimated delivery date and ask if you have any scheduling conserns. As we make them here in California, we can typically accomodate speedy turn around times.

text: Hi. I just purchased a Brand New Stock Glock 19. I have shot about 60 rounds out of it and cleaned it twice. I just got my Spec 308 and Spec 357 Lubes the other day so today I wanted to clean it again with those, (Here's where I guess I got stupid I guess, but it doesn't tell you not to do this or how to fix it in the manual or anywhere on the internet from what I can see) so I put my Spec 308 Lube in the groves of the slide and without the barrel or guide ride in the slide I put the slide on the frame. Now the Slide will not come off and I've tried holding down the trigger and holding down the slide release down while trying to push the slide off and it won't even go 1/4" beyond the frame. I'm just really scared I just bought myself a really expensive paper weight. Someone Please Help! But beware, DO NOT PUT THE SLIDE ON THE GLOCK FRAME WITHOUT BARREL AND GUIDE ROD ASSEMBLED INSIDE SLIDE!

Natural Resources Board Discusses Blue-Green Algae Problem
- Written by Wheeler
- Published in News
The Natural Resources Board discussed the impact blue-green algae is having on Wisconsin during a Tuesday meeting at Rib Mountain State Park.
Part of the discussion was a case in North Carolina where three dogs died just a few hours after playing in a pond covered by the algae. It can make people sick, too. The D-N-R says it has about 800 waterways listed as "impaired" under the Clean Water Act because the toxic algae grow there.

Benchmarking for Islamic banks
The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) recently issued guidelines for the Modaraba-based Islamic refinance scheme for the working capital financing of small and low-end medium enterprises. The subsidised rate will be six per cent as opposed to the regular rate of approximately 18pc.
In a market with a steeply upward sloping yield curve, financial institutions are facing the risk of higher defaults. Islamic banks may be faced with even more difficulties. They have large housing finance and car finance portfolios.
Islamic banks are not required to maintain a minimum deposit rate. Mostly, average bank customers' move to other banks for better rates is inelastic (barring large corporate clients). One can argue that Islamic banks should develop their own benchmarks in the wake of excess liquidity.
Critics of Islamic banking argue that the benchmarking of returns to conventional interest rates makes it synonymous with Riba. Islamic banks insist that the similar pricing of products doesn't make them noncompliant with Sharia.
After 60 years, the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) is going to be phased out by 2021. Libor has been criticised for being subjective and manipulated by banks. According to the Financial Times, deals worth $300 trillion are linked to Libor. Of course, it is not easy to replace it. But the watchdogs are serious about the exit strategy. Other jurisdictions are also shedding their attachment to the equivalent benchmark rates like Euribor.
Islamic banks must have a significant share before they can experiment with influencing the financial system
To fill this vacuum, alternative benchmark rates, like the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (Sofr), are being experimented with. Sofr is a based on transactions in the US treasury repurchase market where banks and investors borrow or loan treasuries overnight. British Sonia and Swiss Saron are other similar examples.
In this backdrop, a discussion on benchmarking for Islamic financial institutions is timely. Internationally, Islamic financial institutions have a dollar-based benchmark of their own.
Thomson Reuters launched Islamic Interbank Benchmark Rate (IIBR) in 2011 in cooperation with Islamic Development Bank (IDB), Accounting and Auditing Organisation of Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) and Bahrain Association of Banks (BAB). The rate is not very popular and faces one of the lacunae that Libor also faces: subjectivity.
Research suggests the development of a real estate index as a benchmark for Islamic banks with housing portfolios. The margin for risk will be added to compensate for the residential-versus-commercial risk as well as the high-end locality-versus-suburban locality risk.
This will also strengthen their credibility with sceptics – a major impediment to its widespread adoption. The current Islamic banking portfolio is 15pc of total banking-sector assets. The SBP wants to grow it to 25pc by 2023.
The availability of credible data for the development of a real estate index is indeed a challenge. However, one of our neighbouring countries has developed such an index in consultation with global experts. The index is able to weed out externalities and can result in a best-fitting model with limited data points. We need to perhaps find our own solutions.
Real estate investment trusts (Reits), companies that own and sometimes operate income-producing real estate, are another instrument that can benefit from such research and development.
Critics of Islamic banking argue that the benchmarking of returns to conventional interest rates makes it synonymous with Riba. Islamic banks insist that the similar pricing of products doesn't make them noncompliant with Sharia
Benchmarking the performance of Reits to a real estate index will give it a realistic picture. The off-take of Reits in Pakistan and their tax structure are a subject of another discussion.
Similarly, car Ijarah or rentals can also be benchmarked to alternate service providers. The engagement with customers is evolving and technology is democratising access to finance. Rental agreements related to commercial cars and vehicles may be benchmarked to Careems and Ubers of the world.
The arguments against benchmarking to other-than-interest rates have their merits too.
"Differences in the rates on particular products may lead to arbitrage if the central bank allows it," said Dr Akram Laldin, a renowned Malaysia-based scholar of Islamic finance. Moreover, banks are connected with the international financial markets as well as local counterparts, which may lead to significantly different rates, making it difficult to do uniform transactions. Islamic banks must have a significant share before they can experiment with influencing the financial system.
The most practical solution, according to a senior banker, is that Islamic banks should develop their own rates based on Musharaka/Mudaraba agreements in the interbank markets. Recently, fixed-rate Sukuk were auctioned by the government of Pakistan. Similar, more frequent sovereign issues can be used as benchmarks for long-term financing by financial institutions. Benchmarking to gold has had its own space in the academic circles.
In the light of changing dynamics in the financial sector, the discussion warrants some focused coordination among the academia, practitioners, regulators and digitisation experts to develop more innovative solutions.
The writer works as senior manager at the Centre for Excellence in Islamic Finance at IBA, Karachi

"I am the Lord your God, hear what I have to say...!"
1. CAN'T GET AWAY FROM THE WATER.I don't know what it is, but water keep coming into everything I seem to write. In dreams, when people write water seems to always come up.As Jesus was walking on the water, Peter asked Jesus bid him to come, Jesus said to Peter dome on, (I know it is not as the word says.) Peter got out of the boat and began walking on the water, now remember Jesus told him to come to him on the water, but what Peter did wrong was he decided to look down at the water and saw he was indeed walking on the water, as he did this, he began to sink, why? He took his eyes off Jesus.Had Peter not taken his eyes off Jesus he would not have began to sink. That is just like us as SAINTS of God, we take our eyes off Jesus the way maker, the one and only who is able to keep us from falling, drowning, getting into trouble. He is there to uphold us, he is there to keep us for we are the APPLE of his eyes, that is what he tells us. Jesus is telling us through we go into deep waters and keep our eyes on him, he will protect us, he will not let us drown, if we take our eyes off him that is when we get into trouble.Jesus is saying don't you know without me you can do nothing? Haven't I told you my eyes is always going too and fro seeking, watching out for those that are his? Thus saith the Lord, it is time for the Church of Jesus Christ and the body realize that we are one with him, I have called for togetherness, and not separation saith the Lord. I am not a divided God, I am the one and only, there is none else like me.As Peter took his eyes off me he begun to sink then and only then did he cry out LORD SAVE ME. Call to me for I am the Great I am. I am the Light of the world let you light so shine.Sister in ChristDorothy
2. STILL CAN'T GET AWAY FROM THE WATER.(I just still can't get away from the water, no matter who writes or what is said water is significant. The wave I believe is the HOLY SPIRIT the Lord is sending upon you, me and the body of Christ. The water is the cleansing he is doing in our lives.)Being swept away in the spirit, Just as he told Peter come, he is saying to us come and walk on the water with me, come walk on the water with me you will not fail. In l John 5:6 This is he that came by water and BLOOD, even Jesus Christ, not by water only, but by water and BLOOD. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness because the Spirit is truth.John 3:5 Verily, verily I say unto thee, except a man be born of waterand of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ISA 41:17 When the poor and needy seek, water, and there is none, and their tongue falleth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them. I the God of Israel will not forsake them. 18:1 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.I know there is a reason and a purpose that this keeps happening, the Lord is speaking to the body as well as you and I. He want to take us to the place when we are thirst to go to the pool when we want to be filled with more of his love, go to the pool, we want to be refreshed with the SPIRIT go to the pool. When we need to be cleansed go to the pool, we need a healing to go to the pool. The pool is Jesus Christ he will give you water that you will never thirst again as his word proclaim.Praise the Lord for his word, praise the Lord for the people of God, praise the Lord for being able to bring forth the word of God.Sister in ChristDorothy
3. I, GIVING GOD THE GLORY.E. M., this is something the Lord did. I was shopping at Kroner's sometime ago. There was speaking to the cashier. I happened to look away from the cashier and my eyes fell on this woman.I told the cashier the woman looked sick, I started pray in the spirit. Just as I did the woman fell to the floor. Now I am disabled and not able to get to the woman, the Lord spoke to me and said now I will prove you, I gave you the weapon use it, I told you to speak the word.I told you in my word that greater things you shall do, I said go, heal the sick, raise the dead. Elaine that is what happened, the Lord told me to pray, the woman was dead, people saw her dead. The Lord said speak the word, you may not be able to get on the floor but I gave you the authority to speak the word.I began praying in the spirit, I started rebuking death and command that life return to her body, praise God by the time the paramedics came she was breathing. As the paramedics started to revive they noticed she was breathing, Praise the Lord, one lady passed by me and said WE KNOW WHO DID IT DON'T WE: I said praise God yes I do.The Lord used me and I praise God for what and how he used me that day, as far as I know she is still living, she sent word and wanted to know where I was, she told them to tell me she was fine. Overtime I think about it, it brings tears to my eyes because I was at the right place at the right time.All we have to do is stay open and receptive to the Lord, be available to him. He will do exceeding above all that we ask or even think.Sister in ChristDorothy
5. ALL WHO ARE SICK WITH CANCER AND OTHER DISEASES, V.2. Father God in the name of Jesus: I come to you on behalf of my sisters and brother, children who are suffering from cancer, Lupus, Heart trouble, MS, any kind of disorder in their bodies, or any other disease. I plead the BLOOD of Jesus over everyone who is suffering in one way or another in the name of Jesus.I pray for our Church Family that are going through sickness, sorrow, in the name of Jesus. I take authority in the name of Jesus. I take authority against you satan, I serve, you notice you are being evicted, no, you are evicted from the bodies, minds, hearts, spirits souls now in the name of Jesus. I call forth the Ministering Angels to do battle for those who cannot fight for themselves, I call forth the Ministering Angels to comfort those who need comforting, I call forth the healing balm of Jesus Christ to heal and deliver all that are broken hearted, in Jesus name.Jesus you said whatsoever I bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, I take authority over every evil spirit, over every stronghold, over every permissive spirit in the name of Jesus. I speak the word of healing for those all over the world in the name of Jesus. You know satan your power is nothing, you have no power, Jesus is and has all POWER in his hands. When Jesus sees us he sees his righteousness, when he looks at us he sees the BLOOD he shed, I am glad to know he sees us when he looks at me. You are a defeated foe satan, you are an evicted foe, we have the power in the name of Jesus, we have the power in the name of the Lord, though you rage we will not be defeated, we have the power in the name of the Lord.Thank you Jesus you are the God that heal your children, When you shed your BLOOD on the cross, when you rose from the dead victoriously, when you ascended on high to the father, and said ALL POWER IS GIVEN UNTO ME. When you said that, you said it to us we have all power in the name of Jesus Christ.Thank you for what you are doing and for what you are going to do now in Jesus name. Thank you for your unconditional love you have for your children, Thank you for the word of knowledge, wisdom, understand, prophetic word in Jesus name.TO GOD BE THE GLORY PRAISE GOD Sister in ChristDorothy

Let our Security Software Experts help you find the right Software for your business!
Shlomi Lavi / Nov 03, 2019
Looking for the right Security solution for your business? buyers like you are primarily concerned about the real total implementation cost (TCO), full list of features, vendor reliability, user reviews, pros and cons. in this article we compare between the 2 software products:
Avast: Avast's roots go back to 1988, when Czech researchers Eduard Kučera and Pavel Baudiš encountered the Vienna Virus and began their quest to save the world's computers from it and others like it. Today, Avast has over 500 professionals headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic, with additional offices in Germany, the USA, and China, distribution partners in all markets, and a global community of Avast enthusiasts.
Microsoft: Microsoft Corporation is an American corporation that develops, manufactures, licenses and supports a wide range of products and services related to computing. The company was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April 4, 1975. Microsoft is the world's largest software maker measured by revenues.
The real cost of Security software includes the software license, subscription fees, software training cost, customization cost, required hardware, and the cost of maintenance & support and other related services. It's critical that you account for all of these costs to gain an understanding of the system's "total cost of ownership". We prepared a total cost calculator for Avast for Business TCO and Forefront Identity Manager total cost to help with the total cost of ownership calculation.
Avast for Business price Starting from $49 per month , on a scale between 1 to 10 Avast for Business is rated 2, which is much lower than the average cost of Security software. Forefront Identity Manager accurate pricing info is available upon request (they don't share it publicly), however , on a scale between 1 to 10 Avast for Business is rated 2, which is much lower than the average cost of Security software.
Bottom line:Forefront Identity Manager is more expensive than Avast for Business.
As with any business software solutions, it's important to consider the features & functionality. The tool should support the processes, workflows, reports and needs that matter to your team. To help you evaluate this, we've compared Avast for Business Vs. Forefront Identity based on some of the most important and required Security features.
Avast for Business: We are still working to collect the list of features of Avast for Business. .
Forefront Identity Manager list of features include the following: Data Import/Export, Basic Reports, Online Customer Support, .

The General Officer Commanding(GOC), 8 Division, Sokoto, Major General Hakeem Otiki, has been placed under house arrest, Daily Sun has gathered.
The officer who was redeployed to the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON), is currently being detained at the Officers Mess where he is being guarded by heavily armed soldiers and may be moved to Abuja anytime from now.
When finally in Abuja, he is expected to be grilled by personnel from the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI), Special Intelligence Bureau (SIB), and Nigerian Army Corps of Military Police (NACMP).
This is just as Daily Sun gathered that the so-called VIP, allegedly being escorted by the soldiers who happens to be the younger brother of the former GOC, actually connived with the soldiers to steal the N400million as he is nowhere to be found.
Similarly, contrary to speculations that two soldiers have been arrested in connection with the crime, Daily Sun, gathered that it is not true.
What happened was that one of the soldiers in the escort who refused to join with his colleague in the crime was the one who returned and reported the matter to the authorities.

Hi again! BrowserUk's demo is possible for Perl lacking threads support. A condition variable is needed to prevent a race condition, especially for processes that spawn quickly. For example, the 2nd worker attempting to connect before the 1st worker initiates the connection.
Note: MCE::Shared involves sockets. So it will not run as fast as threads::shared. Not to worry, it's not far behind.

Rwanda attracts US one billion dollars foreign Direct investment
KIGALI Rwanda (Xinhua) — Rwandan government on Thursday announced that the
country recorded Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) worth 1.041
billion U.S. dollars in 2017 compared to 650.4 million dollars
in 2016.
Speaking to
reporters on Thursday, Clare Akamanzi, chief executive officer
of the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), said that foreign
investments increased immensely last year due to the country's
continued effort to provide conducive environment to investors.
According to
Akamanzi, in 2017 the country registered investments worth 1.675
billion dollars, both local and foreign, compared to 1.160
billion dollars in 2016.
"In the last 10
years, registered investments in Rwanda have jumped from 800
million dollars in 2007 to 1.675 billion dollars in 2017. This
is an increase of more than 100 percent in only a decade. This
is evidence that Rwanda is being seen more and more as a great
place to do business," she said.
Akamanzi pointed out
that the country's ambition is to create 150,000 off-farm jobs a
year, adding that 38,261 jobs were created last year in the
sectors of infrastructure, services, manufacturing, tourism,
construction and real estate, agriculture, ICT and mining.
According to RDB,
three sectors that attracted the most investments were
construction and real estate (638 million dollars), followed by
mining (267.3 million dollars) and lastly infrastructure (203
million dollars).
Rwanda targets to
reach upper middle income status by 2035 and has boosted
investment opportunities by introducing a new investment law.
The new investment
law, launched in Kigali in 2015, replaced one enacted in 2005,
and sought to enable the country to be more accessible to
foreign businesses.
In the World Bank
Group report, Doing Business 2017, Rwanda ranked 56th
out of 190 countries' economies in ease of doing business.
Rwanda has also
opened strategic business offices in different countries like
Turkey, Canada, the United Kingdom, U.S., South Africa,
Singapore and China, with the aim of promoting investments in
those countries.
KIGALI Rwanda (Xinhua) —German automaker Volkswagen (VW) on Thursday
announced plan to invest 20 million U.S. dollars for the first
phase of its car assembly plant operation in Rwanda.
Cars to be assembled
during the phase one include VW Polo and VW Passat for sedans
and VW Teramont for SUVs, said Thomas Schafer, managing director
of Volkswagen of South Africa, at a news conference in the
Rwandan capital Kigali.
"We are planning to
spend at least 20 million dollars for phase one of our operation
and we are targeting to create up to 1,000 jobs," he said,
adding that the initial products will be out mid this year.
According to the
agreement signed between VW and the Rwandan government in 2016,
the car manufacturer will start assembling cars in Rwanda that
are affordable, low on fuel consumption and gas emission.
The German carmaker
has already opened car assembly plants in Kenya, South Africa
and Nigeria.

The most widespread large-scale electricity storage technology is pumped storage hydropower. This is also the oldest storage technology in use, with the first plant built at the beginning of the twentieth century. By the beginning of the twenty-first century there was probably 140,000 MW of pumped storage capacity in operation.
A pumped storage plant is like a conventional hydropower plant with a dam and reservoir but in this case there are two reservoirs rather than one. These two reservoirs must be separated vertically; one must be higher than the other. The difference in height provides the head of water to drive the station's turbines.
In order to generate power, water runs from the top reservoir through a high-pressure channel to turbines at the bottom of the drop. The turbines extract the potential energy from the water and then discharge it into the bottom reservoir where it is saved. When energy is to be stored, the turbines are reversed and act as pumps, pumping water from the lower reservoir
into the upper. The turbine pumps are driven using off-peak electricity so storage will normally take place at night. Once water has been pumped into the upper reservoir it is available again for power generation.
This type of plant is extremely robust and though round trip efficiency is lower than for some other technologies, long-term energy losses are low. Leakage and evaporation are the main sources of loss and if these are managed well, water loss can be kept small.

White Turkey Chili
This healthy white turkey chili recipe is gorgeous, with flecks of green from zucchini, oregano and green chiles. To keep the saturated fat low, we use one pound of ground turkey and add whole-grain bulgur to boost the volume and fiber in this chili recipe. After all the ingredients are added to the pot, we like to slowly simmer our chili for close to an hour to develop the best flavor, but if you're in a hurry, reduce the liquid by half and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Source: EatingWell Soups Special Issue April 2016
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the meat is no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes.Advertisement
Add zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is starting to soften, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add bulgur, oregano, cumin, coriander, white pepper and salt and cook, stirring, until aromatic, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Stir in white beans and chiles, then pour in broth; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer, partially cover the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and thickened and the bulgur is tender, about 50 minutes.
Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

When you want to please the child and show that you can not only decorate the festive cake with large roses made of mastic, but also understand higher matters for him.
Since the game Minecraft captured a large number of children and young people, then carefully look at whether your child is playing this game. If so, then make him out of the mastic characters of the game, and decorating the cake with a playing field is not so difficult at all.
A game that has conquered millions
To make it easier for you to understand all the intricacies and create a cake decoration in accordance with your favorite game, you should learn some of its features.
The first thing that catches your eye is the playing field and the heroes themselves, since the view of this is cubic. The whole game world consists of 3D cubes, the animals also look a bit strange.
Yes, however, everything looks very original.
There are lots of game situations and developments.
For example, 5 game modes that allow you to either build your objects or watch others. A lot of animals and monsters, a lot of different items and other features.
No child will refuse if you ask him to tell about the game and what kind of character he is, as well as ask permission to watch the gameplay. If you succeed, then look carefully at the character of the baby and what animals he interacts with, what monsters he fights.
When creating a birthday cake for a kid, such a lesson is very useful. It will be possible to make figures of characters with whom your child is friends, and the player's figure will not be difficult to repeat.
Making a birthday cake
Most confectioners do not understand this game at all, so ordering a cake in a pastry shop will not only be expensive, but also quite difficult. If you really want to please the baby, then try to make a cake decoration with your own hands.
To do this, you need dyes for mastic and the ability to create tones.
By the way, the main cost of the cake is the most and will depend on the quantity and cost of paint.
How to create a playing field, or rather the main layer of mastic for covering the cakes?
Look at the image of the game on the screen of the baby — gray, green and brown tones prevail there.
Select the main background, then use the dyes to make several different color shades.
Roll the flagella and walk on it with a rolling pin, and then you will need to make smooth stripes.
Roll out the mastic canvas of the required size, and then cross-lay the blanks.
You should have flat squares. You can use the ruler or centimeter for proper creation.
When the whole field looks like an incomprehensible color madness, but the squares on it will be even, you need to once again roll out the resultant material and cover the cake with it. Further will depend on your skill, since the figures also resemble cubes, then it will not be very difficult to mold them from the scraps of dough in the butter cream.
Even trees look like cubic ones, so you only need to look good at the characters of the birthday boy.
Now we need to understand how and where to place the figures — good characters should stand next to the image of the game character of the baby, and place the monsters on the other side of the cake.
Absolutely all animals and monsters, as well as friends are similar to sets of small cubes, so making figures will not be very difficult.
If you do not want to spoil the teeth of your offspring, then it would be better not to sculpt the figures of characters from a single piece of mastic, but to cover the parts molded from the scraps of dough.
Now you place the figures on the surface, make a festive inscription and present the cake to the birthday man.
Any child, of course, will retell all the intricacies in his favorite cartoons, and the Batman series will retell completely, but you will surprise him much more with a gift in the form of a favorite toy than creating jewelry in the form of any lunits and fixes.
Also, this cake can be presented even to an adult, and he will not be offended, since most young men are happy to build cities, dismantle stones and make furniture.
So, decorating the cake in the form of your favorite computer game will be the perfect gift for the player.

Quick notes on a fully encrypted ArchLinux installation on a MacBook Air.
Cet article est un brouillon.
This article is a draft.
Disclaimer: The following document is a set of notes on how I installed ArchLinux on some of my computers. It's basically a summary of selected bits of various resources. The usual warning goes with this as with anything related in any way to security: DO NOT USE IT.
These are notes, not a tutorial. If I'm to do this again, I'll follow these notes. You probably shouldn't.
The aim is:
- To have a fully encrypted disk, except
/boot, but including swap partition to enable hibernation.
Start installation as usual.
Initial installation
Wiping existing data
If necessary, wipe the disks/partitions you're about to encrypt.
cryptsetup open --type plain /dev/sdXY container --key-file /dev/random
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/container status=progress
/dev/zero is a perfectly good value: you're writing on an encrypted container, randomness comes from using
/dev/random as the key.
Repeat for each partition you need to wipe, changing the container's name. I won't wipe
/boot, since an encrypted boot is possible only with Grub, and I use Refind as the primary boot loader1.
Partition the drive
You need two partitions.
- A boot partition, of about 200M, type ef00 (EFI System)
- A crypto container, of type 8E00 (Linux LVM), using all the remaining space.
As has been mentioned, we're not to crypt
/boot, because Apple's (at least) EFI systems cannot boot from encrypted containers.
Encrypt all the things
Now we're going to crypt the container (our second partition), make it a LVM container, and initialize lvm physical volume, volume groups, and logical volumes.
# Create encrypted container
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdXY
# Open it and mount it on /dev/mapper
cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/sdXY lvm
# Create LVM Physical Volume
pvcreate /dev/mapper/lvm
# Create initial LVM Volume Group
vgcreate VolGroup00 /dev/mapper/lvm
# Create logical volumes as needed
lvcreate -L 200G VolGroup00 -n lvolroot
lvcreate -l 100%FREE VolGroup00 -n lvswap
# Format aforesaid logical volumes
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/lvolroot
mkswap /dev/mapper/lvolswap
Continue with standard installation
Mount your volumes and activate swap. Don't forget to mount your unencrypted boot
mount /dev/VolGroup00/lvolroot /mnt
mkdir /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sdX1 /lnt/boot
swapon /dev/VolGroup00/lvolswap
Then proceed with standard installation until the mkinitcpio step. That is, generate mirrorlist (preferably using
rankmirrors) then
Configure mkinitcpio
lvm2 must be installed inside the
arch-chroot jail before proceeding.
mkinitcpio.conf will require the
encrypt and
keymap hooks, the first two seem to require to appear after filesystems.
keymap is only needed if a passphrase is needed (hint: it really should) and the keyboard uses a non US-Qwerty mapping. It will get its mapping from
/etc/vconsole.conf. It must appear before encrypt in
Configure kernel boot options
Modify kernel boot options (with refind, on
/boot/refind_linux.conf and add
cryptdevice=UUID=…:lvm before
Before you reboot
If you want to use
wifi-menu on your fresh system, don't forget to install
dialog and
wpa_supplicant before you reboot. Trying to run it in the
arch-chroot jail will help find missing deps (the script itself is part of
base, but not its dependencies)
For Apple laptops
A few extra settings are required to have a decent mapping on Apple keyboards.
/etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf with the following line:
options hid_apple fnmode=2
and add the path of this file to the FILES entry of
A basic working system
That is, my basic working system.
Also install the
xf86-video-x driver you need.
Yet it is possible to a) boot from external media to a fully encrypted root; or b) boot from a plaintext EFI /boot to an encrypted grub. Since encrypting
/bootis meant to protect against physical attacks on the boot program, b) does not really protect against anything.↩

Chillin' out till it needs to be funded
You heard it from us. Unless you ar one of the Reuters 3000 users as an employee of a big Financial Services company / Bank, you would be looking for this piece of news you had probably hoped for a month back, counted down for a week or so and till yesterday were wondering if it was to be or the Dollar had had its day.
Well, the verdict in the market as of now is that the QE2 was well priced in the markets and the Dollar bottomed out this week on Monday. Also with Treasuries on even keel, its now Euro's turn to prove its not a mythical animal that lasted while the perfect storm was being screened. Ireland of course has agreed to accept aid in billions through its central Bank. GM, having already closed applications and priced its IPO at $33 is on the verge of completing the largest US IPO in with a chance to beat the AgBank of China and thus only behind the issuance by Petrobras(which isn't counted as an ipo in the league tables) .
With a nicely timed set of moves that lasted a fortnight the IPO has shares on offer being added and the price being upped in two stages and gave a lot of people confidence that their investment in the US fed was safe as it no needs to sell its remaining 36.9% GM stake in common shares at just $43 per share to turn a profit on the entire transaction. Including the residual UAW stake, it is another 43% public stake that GM now has to worry about but that is another day and Citi and GM showcase that will UK might have come ahead by a week on recovery numbers the big uncle Sam is not to be challenged in its economic pre-eminence sooner than later.
All the other issues will last and will be dissected in this now the lagging phase of the recession with recovery going to be treacherous many more times, but the times they are a changing. The $50 bln Global Auto giant GM is sure a sign of that. GM stock valuations could easily be north of $50 in a few moments from here. ( GM reports 2/3rds of its profit frm North America and 1/3 already from Asia with another 1/43 lost in the sinking continent ..of Europe)
