For 2,500 council employees working to serve the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley in England, SharePoint became a vital platform for collaboration on documents, projects, and daily operations. To ensure high availability of documentation and project data, IT administrators recognized that their existing data protection strategy was not a solid long-term solution. The third-party solution that the council had in place did not allow them to efficiently ensure continuous availability of data – specifically, they could not restore at the item level, and backups were time-consuming.
Since data recovery requests accounted for 90 percent of support calls, Knowsley Council's IT administrators needed a more efficient solution that gave them the power to optimize backups and perform granular content recovery. After evaluating solutions available in the marketplace, Knowsley Council chose to implement DocAve Backup and Restore, part of the fully-integrated DocAve Software Platform for SharePoint infrastructure management, for fast and flexible SharePoint backup.
With DocAve, Knowsley Council was able to:
- Granularly restore SharePoint content within five minutes, 98 percent faster than a previous third-party solution
- Schedule automatic full and incremental backups to ensure high availability of critical organizational data
Beyond enhanced SharePoint data protection, Knowsley Council also plans to use DocAve to carry out a flexible, full-fidelity migration to SharePoint 2013. With DocAve Migrator, the council is prepared to complete a direct migration of 1.5 terabytes (TB) of data from SharePoint 2007 to 2013 through a staged approach, enabling flexibility and maintaining all metadata throughout the process.

Since hundreds of years ago and even more than that, humans have used gold as a valuable object whether it's jewelry or for various other things. Moreover, gold in modern times like today is a very valuable item and supports almost all currencies globally. And therefore a country desperately needs gold as a support for their economy and to prevent their currency from falling and becoming worthless. Because of its crucial role in today's modern era, gold has become an investment instrument that has value and tends to be stable. If someone invests their money in stocks, it is possible that they will incur losses, but not in gold. And because of that many people choose gold for their investment.
Introducing Digital GOLD
Seeing that the development of blockchain technology in recent years is quite massive, this is an opportunity for Digital GOLD to be able to develop a digital gold that will make it easier for people to transact and invest using gold. The Digital GOLD team designed this digital gold to run using a blockchain architecture that is secure and accessible to everyone from anywhere. Blockchain is the most revolutionary technology today, and it is very appropriate to be combined it with Digital GOLD because then users will be able to invest in gold more easily. Users can buy Digital GOLD through the marketplace and they can hold it as a long-term investment instrument like physical gold. The value of Digital GOLD itself will be worth 1 Gram for 1 Digital GOLD token and this value will remain the same forever. The mechanism of Digital GOLD is very smart, and therefore it is a reliable and secure digital gold.
To be able to compete with other digital gold, Digital GOLD
it needs to have various features which make it worthy of being the best digital gold with Ethereum architecture. Digital GOLD will have features consisting of high security, anonymous, low fees, faster, and reliable for many transactions. These features would be impossible to find in digital gold with traditional architecture.
The security provided by blockchain technology is unquestionable, it is an immutable technology that will not allow any party to change it. Digital GOLD is designed with this technology in mind, and it will allow users to send their digital gold to any Ethereum wallet they want and not have to worry about their security because it is very secure.
As for identity, this is crucial for many people, and Digital GOLD ensures that the user's identity will remain safe because it is built with blockchain technology which will ensure anonymous user transactions and will not allow anyone to know the user's identity. So for those who want to invest in gold discreetly, Digital GOLD is the best thing and it doesn't require them to pay more to maintain their privacy because it is all guaranteed by blockchain technology.
Since it was launched using Ethereum technology, Digital GOLD launched its token under the name "GOLD" and it is the native token of Digital GOLD which will serve as a utility token that users can get from supported exchanges. Launched using the Ethereum protocol, users will be able to use this token for various things they want, such as for transactions to other users, investments, etc. This is a token whose value will be the same as physical gold, and because of this, the value of this token has the prospect of increasing in the future. So investing in this token is a good decision.
To sum up, now people don't need to buy physical gold to invest in gold, they can buy digital gold and that's even better. And Digital GOLD is a platform that develops digital gold with Ethereum technology and this will be used by users for long-term transactions and investments. With smart mechanisms secured by smart contracts, Digital GOLD will become digital gold with undoubted transaction security and value that will continue to match physical gold and this is even lower in costs because it does not require fees, etc. With various features coupled with the Ethereum architecture that supports it, users can invest in digital gold whose value remains the same as physical gold.

Coronavirus impact and management at Hall Screenprints
Has Hall Screenprints been impacted by coronavirus COVID-19?
Not directly. None of the owners or staff have any known contact with COVID-19 cases. (Last updated 21st July 2021.)
Indirectly, our customers have been heavily affected. Many schools and sporting clubs across the country are cancelling or postponing sporting events and so they don't need our ribbons or pennants at this time. Other schools and sporting clubs are able to continue, so we're open and continuing to support our customers with all products and filling all orders.
What are you doing to manage coronavirus COVID-19?
We started practicing social distancing on Sunday the 15th of March 2020 when there were less than 300 confirmed cases in Australia and well before official guidelines required it, so we minimised the risk of bringing COVID-19 to Hall Screenprints. Since then we've been following all guidelines, at work and at home. The owner (and chief cook and bottle washer!) has been fully vaccinated, and expects all staff to be vaccinated in due course.
We don't have a retail shopfront, and have very few visitors. Deliveries are not frequent, and usually come by post or courier. We believe the time in transport greatly reduces the risk of us contracting COVD-19 from our supplies and materials.
Additionally, Australia Post and couriers are practicing no-contact deliveries, further reducing risk.
Is it safe to order from Hall Screenprints?
We believe so. (Otherwise we would not send them to you!) The precautions noted above lead us to believe we are not at risk of passing COVID-19 to you..
All of our screen printed products are baked in a tunnel dryer before despatch. While certainly not a medical-grade disinfection, it is likely that this would greatly reduce the viability of any viruses present on the products.
Additionally, products on the website will be delivered from Brisbane by Australia Post or courier. For most parts of the country, this will take 2 days or more. This time reduces the viability of any stray virus particles (even though we believe we are not carrying COVID-19) so we believe any risk to be small.
An important note about delivery delays
Due to the coronavirus, delivery times are sometimes longer than normal. Australia Post has temporarily suspended the next day guarantee for Express Post parcels, and couriers have also adjusted their delivery timeframes.
Note that the Australia Post computer system may still be providing standard estimates for delivery time – actual delivery times are often longer. this can depend on your location.
Many items are still arriving within usual timeframes, and we always despatch as quickly as possible, but please be aware that extra delivery time may be required.

The infrastructure and facilities in the department are well-designed. Wi-Fi facilities connect labs and classrooms. The library has a wide range of books. The canteen serves Chinese, North Indian, and South Indian cuisine, the good food is provided in the college.
Infrastructure of the college is great for classes and labs, There is Wi-Fi in every classroom with all types of books related to syllabus, course preparation (like GRE GATE CAT etc.). And fictional. Hostel facilities are not good, for first year the hostels available are good and rooms are big enough, but for 2nd years and onwards the price is high and food is not good. There is a very big hospital in the college itself with mostly all the specialities as there is also a medical degree offered by the college.
The infrastructure is fine. Cannot say it is too great. There were enough classrooms to sit and of course few classes were equipped with smart technology to have good explanation. It was a medium sized and comfortably spaced college at the outskirts of the city.

I am looking for some clarity please. I have an expired CNIC and want to convert it to NICOP. I know it is possible but the PAK ID web site is a bit confusing with too many products and requirements. Can some one please give me easy to follow steps?
Also, can my existing fingerprints that are already in thesystem (verified that NADRA does have it), can the same fingerprints be used, or do I have to send them again?
Thank you

We all know that the I.O. loves being sneaky about their actions. With aprroximately a month left in Fortnite, it's time for the Wild Weeks.
Honestly speaking, the last time we saw Wild Weeks in Fortnite, most of us thought that it would be a one time thing. But then, after the Fortnite update today, the Wild Weeks are back.
The first Fortnite Season 7 Wild Week revolves around being sneaky.
Everything we know about Sneak Week in Fortnite
Up until the end of Fortnite Season 7, we'll see the start of a new wild week in Fortnite every Thursday.
From the previous data that we've seen, the wild week will go live with the Fortnite Season 7 epic challenges around 3 PM BST.
That being said, you won't get any brownie points to guess what Sneak Week is all about. Sneaky means being stealthy and thus Fortnite Wild Week 1 : Sneak Week is all about stealth.
Over the course of this week, every Epic+ Pistol, Epic+ Assault Rifle, and all Bolt-Action Sniper Rifles will be replaced with the Suppressed Pistols, Suppressed Assault Rifles, and Suppressed Sniper Rifles respectively.
This means that the fights on the island will be silent and deadly, so you really need to be at your wits end in order to bag that Victory Royale.
That being said, just like the previous edition of Wild Weeks, this time we'll have a fresh set of legendary challenges associated with the Wild Weeks themselves.
These legendary challenges are independent of the weekly legendary challenges that we see every week.
For the challenges this week you will be required to deal damage to the enemy using silenced weapons. And this legendary challenge will progress in steps.
To make it easy for you, not only will the drop rates of the suppressed weapons be buffed, you'll also be seeing an increase in the drop rates of the Prop-ifier.
Furthermore, there will be more NPCs on Fortnite island selling prop disguise services.
That's all we know about the Fortnite Wild Week 1: Sneak Week. Have fun and strike with precision.
Good luck!

Anong Luk, 24, also known as Gol, died after she was dragged by a moving car and was pinned between two vehicles in Melbourne's west in November last year.
Police say her 22-year-old sister Asyai Luk was behind the wheel of the moving car following a roadside argument and she fled from the scene.
Luk faced a committal hearing in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday, supported by their mother Aleza Gwit.
She is charged with dangerous driving causing death, and failure to stop and render assistance.
She was not required to speak during the hearing.
Her barrister Peter Morrissey said he believed the matter should be discharged, as the incident was a "freakish occurrence" that neither sister could have foreseen.
He said his client drove away from the scene, worried what her sister might do if she got back in the car, following an earlier physical altercation.
"The way the sister was trapped, was tragically unusual and unlikely... She got caught in the door unexpectedly," Morrissey told the court.
"And CCTV footage shows that she drove forward and was looking forward - not in any way towards or at the peril of the deceased.
"She didn't know the accident had occurred."
The prosecution disputed Morrissey's claims that Luk was not driving dangerously.
"In the context of a heated argument that was both verbal and physical between the two sisters, Ms Luk drives off with the door wide open and at a fast rate of speed," prosecutor Abbey Hogan said.
"Gol Luk walks out, places her arm on the door and goes to put her foot in the car and that's when the accused takes off at speed, with the car door open.
"It is plainly dangerous to drive off at speed with a car door open."
Magistrate Brett Sonnet reserved his decision for Tuesday morning.

Sermon, Announcements, Christmas Service Schedule and Prayers of the People for December 16, 2018
I should have put "to be continued . . ." at the end of my sermon last week, because the story this week is literally the continuation of John the Baptist, as you heard, so let us re-enter that world . . . let us pray.
May the words of my mouth and the meditations of all our hearts be acceptable in your sight, O God, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen.
Last week we got a glimpse into the lives of those who flock to John the Baptist. They crowd around him to hear him preach. Their religious leaders have been waiting for a new word from God – could this be it? They have been ruled by the Romans since their great, great grandparents walked on the earth; they say, once we were freed from Egypt and we will be freed again! They constantly struggle to scrape together enough resources to survive another day while those in authority take everything they can possibly manipulate out of them. They live each day in a low state of panic about the entitled ruling class and any Roman soldiers we see roaming about.
John speaks a strong word to those gathered about what it is going to take to break the patterns of violence that are so ingrained in their culture. They are used to leaning on their lineage of Abraham, but John is clear, this is going to require their active participation. It is going to take the inner work of repentance, the mystery of ritual and the outer work of intentional behaviour to loosen the practices of scarcity and injustice that have lived so long here.
The crowds ask, "What shall we do?" John's answer speaks directly to the core of the socio-economic struggle of the peasants. He gives practical instruction to everyone present. For each cross-section of society present, John calls for justice for people on the margins. For the peasants, if you have something extra, share it, because you know there are people next to you who don't have enough . . . and you remember what that was like. Tax collectors come from a slightly different social location – they get a cut of the taxes they collect, so they are motivated to collect as much as possible. What should we do? Collect only the amount prescribed to you. Stop bleeding the pockets of the people who are already overtaxed; they cannot survive. These soldiers in the crowd likely were not Romans but came from Herod's personal army. One might imagine their boss is not generous with their wages; still, John tells them, "do not extort money from anyone. You get a wage; be satisfied with it. Do you think these people can afford your greed?"
I love how direct he is, how forthright and clear his words are. First, share with one another and don't take what isn't yours. As Jesus' ministry ramps up and he begins preaching about the kingdom of God, the message goes further to say, become servants of each other. But for now, what shall we do? Rule #1, the first lesson, is to do no harm. Take only what is yours and leave what is theirs. What shall we do? Care for those who need it most; do no be greedy; do not take what is not yours. If you have a little extra, share it with those who need it.
James and I spent Thursday morning at the ferry line, collecting donations for PHC Christmas hampers. Whether or not the islanders knew it, what they were doing was quite biblical, giving something extra to those in need during this season of preparation. Collections for PHC are happening all over the island so that all, regardless of circumstance can feel the abundance and joy God created for us. As we know, the work of the gospel only begins with sharing resources. The systemic issues - sustainable housing, climate change, affordable resources - still await transformation – that is the long game of God's kingdom.
As he speaks truth to the masses, John's life becomes this ministry of preparation. He baptizes crowds of people each day and accumulates disciples. Even as popular as he becomes, John never forgets his particular role in God's redemption. "One who is more powerful than I is coming . . . He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." John is the one who always points toward the Messiah. Everything we are doing is to prepare for his arrival. The people can't conceive that when John bids them come and prepare for God to draw close, God would actually come in human form to share with them in their human experience. It's hard for us even to fully wrap our minds around what that means. He comes to consume our pain and brokenness, as a fire consumes the chaff, and transform it all into something beautiful and life-giving.

Law of Diminishing Returns
By Juan Carlos
A condition after a process reaches an optimal state where adding more resources yields a minimal increase in production and reduces profitability.
Why Use It
The law illustrates a moment on the production curve where an additional unit results in negative returns or a loss. There is no reduction in output but rather a decrease in efficiency and productivity.
The value obtained from increasing one output but maintaining others will eventually diminish. Improving a process requires adjusting other inputs properly rather than focusing on the same.
When to Use It
The economic theory indicates that after optimal capacity is achieved, additional production units result in fewer increases in output.
Numerous outcomes are subject to a decrease in incremental value.
For example:
- A group of workers on an assembly line performs quality control, and to increase capacity, they hire another employee. But there is a point where more quality control specialists do not add as much value.
- In product development, adding employees may not speed up a launch. Instead, other dependencies, onboarding new hires, and internal communications might slow the project.
- In stagnant economies where production techniques have not changed, output per employee falls. Conversely, progressive economies where technology has been embraced can scale production.
By developing managers and improving technology, one can continue to increase productivity and minimize the effect of diminishing returns.
How to Use It
Most folks know that exponential growth cannot occur perpetually — bottlenecks and constraints exist in any system. Production in this context is affected by four factors: land, capital, labor, and enterprise. They can stimulate economic growth and ultimately limit exponential growth.
Economies of scale emerge when a company impacts all production inputs at once. The output is higher than the inputs; a company outperforms by doubling or tripling its production. When the output is lower than the inputs, returns to scale surface, and a company's efforts are not realized.
Only one input is changed in diminishing returns, and the others remain constant. For example, a factory manager chooses to increase production by adding an employee. Two employees will double output even when the warehouse space, machines, and technology stay the same. However, adding another body at fifty employees increases production by two percent — constant returns. Then at one hundred employees, without having changed any other input, the manufacturing floor is crowded, and adding another body increases output by less than two percent — diminishing returns. Increasing the number of employees leads to a tipping point for productivity and efficiency.
The math for diminishing returns is as follows: Q= f(L, K)
- Q signifies the output.
- Q is dependent on a function (f)
- Of all variables (L)
- And fixed inputs (K)
Optimizing the output for one input is possible. However, several other inputs account for production, and focusing on labor alone is inefficient.
How to Misuse It
The concept is often mistaken for Marginal Utility, which explains how much satisfaction or pleasure someone receives from increased consumption.
Next Step
The applications for the concept are myriad and work across many disciplines. Utilize it to better understand where inefficiencies exist in systems and determine when too much focus has been given to a specific set of inputs.
Where it Came From
The world's first economists, Jacques Turgot, David Ricard, Thomas Robert Malthus, James Anderson, and Johann Heinrich von Thünen, developed the original ideas for the law. The term was first coined and mentioned by Jaquest Turgot in the 1700s.
In the 1800s, economist David Ricardo and others observed the law while researching the price of wheat and corn in post-war England.
Classical economists such as Robert Malthus and David Ricardo developed some of the original theories but attributed diminishing returns to a decrease in the quality of the inputs. Their findings proved that additional capital and labor to a given piece of land would generate fewer increases in overall output.
Thomas Robert Malthus subsequently developed a theory where he modeled population growth against food production and postulated that shortages would inevitably occur.

Mental Models
Hi, I'm
Juan Carlos
Fueled by a passion for storytelling and excitement for life design, I find joy in reframing narratives to illuminate paths toward fulfillment. My experience spans high-growth startups, filmmaking, and social impact. Through mentoring and coaching, I guide teams and individuals to discover purpose and cultivate a meaningful life.
My Story
I started in film, directing award-winning features such as 'Know How' and 'Second Skin.' These cinematic endeavors earned me recognition and allowed me to serve as a spokesperson for Adobe. I founded the White Roof Project, a grassroots climate activism campaign that mitigated the urban heat island effect and spurred community-led social change.
I carried my storytelling skills and passion for societal transformation as I transitioned into the startup ecosystem. Initially, I contributed to social impact apps, converting complex issues into accessible solutions. This early experience laid a foundation for my later work, where I led the development of groundbreaking products within high-growth startups. My work has underscored the potential of technology to innovate and amplify the quality of human life.

As we continue looking at how some of the eight business fundamentals work together, it's time to examine the relationship between marketing and sales. These two roles rely on each other, and it's hard to overstate the importance of making sure a marketing team and sales team talk to each other and cooperate.
First, you must recognize that marketing and sales are universal, inescapable parts of any business.
Everyone is marketing, even if they aren't consciously trying to do so. It's impossible to be ambivalent about marketing — you're either doing it well or doing it poorly. Marketing is projecting an identity, showing people who you are and what your business does. A company that does zero marketing is still projecting an identity, after all, just one that shows it does not care enough to communicate clearly with its customer base.
Likewise, everyone at a business who comes into contact with a client or customer, from the receptionist on up, is selling the product or services. All these points of contact reflect on your business, your products, and your reputation — which all adds up to sales, the basic unit of success for any business.
Whether your team is a hundred strong or just one person, seeing how marketing and sales complement each other can give insight on improving the way both are done. Let's take a closer look.
(702) 451-3250
GPS: Sales & Marketing
Marketing, which deals with consumers as a whole, comprises several key actions:
- Researching to identify a target market
- Building the brand identity, from logo to website and everything in between
- Deploying assets to build brand awareness within that target market
- Driving potential leads to reach out to the sales team
- Providing material for sales teams to use, all keeping with brand consistency
Sales focuses on the individual customers, going from the collective concept of a target market down to the person walking in the door. This involves:
- Researching to identify individual leads within the target market
- Directly reaching out to these leads
- Providing customer service to leads who reach out to the sales team
- Using the marketing collateral to keep established brand standards
- Forming relationships that can lead to future purchases and referrals
- Getting people to actually purchase the goods and services
Looking at their functions, it's somewhat obvious how these two roles must work together. Marketing gets the word out to the community at large and generates interest, which gets people walking in the door. Once these potential customers have shown up (whether online, with a phone call, or in a showroom), it's up to the sales force to convert these browsers into buyers.
Yet, many businesses do not ensure these two departments are functioning well together, which can lead to disconnects. It can be a sales team feeling abandoned by a distant marketing department that doesn't understand its needs, or a marketing team frustrated that the interest it generates falls flat when potential buyers show up.
When these two teams are working well together, they feed into a cycle that gains momentum from each side of the relationship. An attentive leader will make sure this wheel gets greased so it's always turning, gaining speed and reach, which increases brand awareness and sales.
For its part, the marketing team should be constantly driving people in and priming them to have a good feeling about the brand and product before they even set foot in the door (or click the "order" button on the website). This is accomplished with thoughtfully designed collateral, branding, and content. The sales team, with the boots on the ground, should regularly give feedback to the marketing team to help refine its efforts and keep the messaging clear and honest. If a marketing campaign makes promises the sales force cannot keep, customers will feel tricked — and it's almost impossible to regain a consumer's trust after that feeling sets in.
Communication between sales and marketing is therefore essential, to find and fix any pain points and also to capitalize on opportunities. Employees in these two departments should know each other and not just be comfortable but highly motivated to reach out if they notice efforts aren't in sync or if they need support that's not being delivered. When one part of the marketing-sales cycle is underperforming, it will drag both sides down — and profits will drop accordingly.
With a marketing and sales team smoothly cooperating, you ensure solid, consistent messaging to consumers as a whole while also providing a positive, memorable experience for individual customers who reach out — both essential ingredients for a lasting relationship.
To build a long-term, successful enterprise, when you don't close a sale, open a relationship.
— Patricia Fripp, author and presentation coach
Selling and marketing are about inspiring people, making them discover something about themselves. When you can accomplish this, people remember and feel a connection. People reward this approach with trust and loyalty, and they will build on that relationship by recommending a product or service to others or circling back when they are ready to buy themselves.
Chuck Mohler established Eagle Corporate Advisors to help business owners who have reached the level of success where they begin to feel constrained by their own limits — whether those limits are time, knowledge, or the inability to fulfill the many roles their business requires. We provide custom support for any issue, milestone, or decision so your business can break through a plateau and reach a higher level.

Dublin, Dec. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "IoT Middleware Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The market for IoT middleware was valued at USD 7.71billion in 2019, and it is expected to reach a value of USD 22.36 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 19.72% over the forecast period, 2020 - 2025. The emerging applications and business models coupled with the falling device costs have been instrumental in driving IoT adoption and, consequently, the number of connected devices - connected cars, machines, meters, wearable, and consumer electronics.
According to the GSM Association, the number of IoT devices is expected to grow to 25.1 billion by 2025. This robust growth is expected to be driven by the increased industry focus on deploying a connected ecosystem and the standardization of 3GPP cellular IoT technologies. According to Ericsson forecasts, it is estimated that there would be over 30 billion connected devices in use by 2022, of which around 18 billion would be used for a diverse range of IoT applications.
With the growth in the number of devices connected to the internet, there is a greater need for seamless collaboration and connectivity between those devices, thus making IoT middleware a significant focus area for businesses.
Adopting an industry-agnostic application middleware plays a vital role in reducing the complexity of future changes to their IoT solutions. Further, with the growing integration of IoT into mobile devices, machinery, equipment, tablets, among other devices, the need for a platform to support and integrate such demands has become necessary.
Government initiatives, such as smart city projects, are expected to create demand for IoT middleware. Trends, such as connected buildings and factories and smart homes, is expected to create opportunities for the market. Moreover, the smart cities' concept has marked a great prospect with the IoT in the energy, waste, and infrastructure sectors. Several smart city projects and initiatives are ongoing, and by 2025, it is expected that there would be around 30 global smart cities, and 50% of these would be located in North America and Europe.
In the post-COVID-19 world, cloud-based remote and secure control over industrial IoT without the need for a highly trained workforce has become necessary. However, the need for manual work to securely operate the industrial IoT has been a persistent problem.
Developments on the market studied have recognized partnership and launch on a similar front. For instance, Murata partnered with VitaNet to enable IoT pairing and authentication. This led to the development of the MBN52832 Bluetooth Low Energy module for ultra-low-power connectivity for data communications in VitaNet Suite platform service consisting of middleware that runs on each gateway and IoT device together with protocol conversion support from the cloud.
Key Market Trends
Manufacturing Expected to Have the High Potential Growth
Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT) are at the center of new technological approaches, development, and production. The growing acceptance of industrial 4.0 has buoyed IoT in manufacturing. The increasing number of machines to machine connections and the growing need for factory efficiency on the floor and the field. The role of IoT has been significant particular for manufacturing companies that have adopted automated solutions.
- IoT Middleware can implement IoT-based virtual manufacturing applications as well as IoT-based factory automation, which is encouraging manufacturers to deploy IoT devices in key manufacturing establishments.
- Another factor driving the market growth is the advantage of IoT in attaining "informed" manufacturing. IoT middleware enables four essential elements of manufacturing - Products, People, Processes, and Infrastructure to work seamlessly.
- Innovations by companies are also helping shape the competitive landscape. For instance, in September 2019, Hitachi Vantara released Lumada Manufacturing Insights, a suite of Industrial IoT solutions that empower the manufacturing industry to achieve transformative outcomes from data-driven insights. It uses AI and machine learning to optimize machine production.
- Also, a significant consideration while aiming for the manufacturing industry is the promotion of flexibility through open architectures that support customization and streamlined software upgrades across multiple devices. Therefore, this segment is expected to benefit from the rapid emergence of Open-source IoT middleware developments.
North America Holds Major Share
North America is expected to be a prominent market due to the growing role of IoT among the significant revenue-generating end-user industries of the region, driven by the deployment of connected cars, smart energy projects, home automation, and focus on smart manufacturing. The US and Canada are the early adopters of technologies, such as Big Data, IoT, and mobility, and it creates significant growth opportunities for the IoT middleware market.
- The United States is on the verge of the fourth industrial revolution. Data is being used on a large scale for production while integrating it with a wide variety of manufacturing systems throughout the supply chain. Therefore, the emergence of information technology and the increased usage of IoT across a wide range of manufacturing, industrial, and automotive applications, have added a new dimension to conducting business operations.
- Manufacturers in the region rely on IIoT platforms for general process optimization, dashboards and visualization, and condition monitoring. SMEs are becoming increasingly flexible in incorporating new technologies with their existing systems, whereas large manufacturers have massive budgets for digitization.
- Another significant driver is the prevalence of an environment of increasing input, labor cost, and competition from the large global manufacturers, which is expected to attract investment in technologies such as IoT to remain competitive and maintain the operating margins.
- Aiding this trend is the formation of the "Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP) 2.0," an initiative undertaken to make the industry, universities. The federal government is investing in emerging technologies and smart manufacturing initiatives, such as the Smart Manufacturing Leadership Coalition (SMLC), to drive and facilitate the broad adoption of manufacturing intelligence.
Competitive Landscape
The IoT Middleware Market is competitive as IoT is set to disrupt the traditional IT industry by providing innovative solutions to the enterprises. Players in the market are adopting major strategies like product innovation, mergers, and acquisitions to widen their product functionality and stay competitive. Some of the recent developments in the market are:
In March 2020 - Oracle Corporation led the release of Java 14, which is the result of industry-wide development involving open review, week builds, and extensive collaboration between Oracle engineers and members of the Java developer community via OpenJDK community and Java Community Process.
- In March 2020 - Kerlink, a provider of solutions dedicated to the Internet of Things (IoT), and ZENNER IoT Solutions GmbH, a LoRaWAN system integrator and solution provider in Germany, collaborated on the most massive LoRaWAN deployment in the country.

Red Velvet… Yum! Red Velvet cakes, cupcakes, pancakes, whoopie pies, or scones. Whatever form it is in, I love it. So when I saw a recipe for Red Velvet Chocolate Chip cookies, I immediately starting going through my pantry looking for the needed ingredients.
My instincts were right. These cookies are mouth-watering, yummy, amazing-ness that everyone deserves to take part in.
I've featured this recipe on my personal blog before, but Jacin and I thought these would make adorable handmade-with-love party favors for LLD readers! For weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, whenever! Another positive, these are easy to make.
How cute would these look on a dessert table, or in favor bags or boxes? Pretty perfect I think!
Recipe adapted from How Sweet Treats
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon red food coloring (I used a little less)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I added a little extra ;) )
Preheat oven to 375.
Cream butter and sugars together until fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla and combine until smooth.
Beat in red food coloring.
Stir in cocoa, flour, baking soda and salt until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out 1-2 tablespoons of dough and set on baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. (Mine only needed 10, and they were perfect!)
All images by yours truly!
Enjoy everyone, let us know if you're going to use this recipe and how it went! I'm thinking I need to bake another batch soon…
I LOVEEEE Red Velvet!! Must try these. And congrats on your engagement!!!
I have been a baker since I was 11 years old and I also love chocolate and RED VELVET…I am SO making these cookies!! Will let you know how they turn out!
Oh my, oh heck yes! bookmarking this recipe. thanks jacin!
you had me at red velvet :)
Yep, these sound AMAZING. I loooooove red velvet!!
These look {& sound} amazing!!!
Wow! These look positively scrumptious!
Say what?!? Those look divine and I love red velvet!!!
Liesl :)
I never met a cookie I didn't like…and I'd really, really love to meet these! YUM!
Oh YUM. I have made Red Velvet Whoopie Pies before and these sounds just as tasty! Thanks for the recipe, girls :)
Wow! These look AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing!! :-)
Damn you, damn you, damn you…I LOVE YOU!! Take it from an 'out' binge eater this looks amazing and will likely kill me :}
Those look freakin delicious! Yum!
Oh my gosh YUM!!
Ooh there goes the diet mmmmmmmmm x
Sweet mother of red velvet, these look amazing!
If it wasn't almost 10 pm I'd make these instantly. They are on the official To Do list for the weekend.
so not fair! I am on a diet and these cookies are to die for! I LOVE red velvet! These will be on my celebration to-do list for my next 5 pounds off!
Oh yum! I need to try these!
YUM!! What a great idea, esp when red velvet is so popular right now! My sister is having a homemade red velvet cake for her wedding!
oh yum! i must make it! love anything red velvet!
Those looks so goooddd…. I have an engagement party I am hosting next weekend and those may have to be on the list of things to add for goodies!
Yum and a half! I want some. I'll try them now that I'm unemployed. Wedding Favors? for anyone I know?
I forgot to mention - amazing photos!
Simply amazing! Red velvet is easily one of the best dessert flavors known to man and these cookies bear the red velvet name proudly.
How many cookies does this recipe yield?
Just kidding! I saw it
These were delicious but mine did not turn out as red as yours? I used 1 tsp of red food coloring. Do I need to increase?
I would think you would need a LOT more than 1 tsp. of red food coloring to have your cookies as red as those pictured. When I make Red Velvet Cake I use 2 ounces (bottles)…so….I would say, definitely add more red coloring for a deeper red.

What do you do after you freeze basil?
I read that you could freeze basil. I made a small lasagna a few weeks ago and saved the rest of the basil for when I was planning to make it again. So,the basil is in the freezer and I went to take a peek at it since I'm making lasagna this weekend. I noticed that the color is a good bit darker then it was originally. I also realized I'm not really sure how to thaw it.
Any tips?

About this event
Please join Tar Heel Sports Car Club as we host a Novice School at the "Little Rock" in Rockingham, NC. The school will kick off a great weekend that includes THSCC Points Event #1.
- Saturday March 9th - Novice School
- Sunday March 10th - Points Event #1
Novice School
Priority for the Novice School will be given to DRIVERS WITH FEWER THAN TEN (10) EVENTS OF AUTOCROSS EXPERIENCE, AND THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER PARTICIPATED IN A THSCC NOVICE SCHOOL BEFORE. If you are an experienced autocrosser who's just looking for seat time, please DON'T sign up!
Enrollment for Novice School is capped at 30 students.
If we don't meet our cap with true novices, we will open registration up to more experienced drivers 2 weeks prior to the school. Our schools tend to fill up early, so please register soon. If you end up not being able to attend, please cancel your registration so we can let someone else have your spot.
Note: If you are placed on the waitlist it is ONLY for the Novice School. Points Event #1 is not limited by attendance. In other words, you can absolutely drive on Sunday, Day 2.
We'll have many great instructors at the school to help you, some of whom are nationally competitive autocrossers. Your instructors will evaluate your skill level and teach you the basics of autocrossing. We average 15 runs at our schools; that equates to about 3 events worth of experience. Our goal is to maximize seat time to maximize learning.
If your car is in good general condition, it will hold up just fine at an autocross. There are plenty of cars that have been autocrossing for a decade or more. Damage from hitting cones is very rare. But, you will notice greater than average tire wear. You can find out a lot more about autocrossing by reading the Novice Guide on our website Novice Guide.
Novice School participants will receive a notice from us prior to the school. If you have any questions about the school, please contact the THSCC Novice Coordinators at email@example.com.
Points Event #1
Now that you've been to school it's time to test your newly acquired skills against experienced autocrossers at THSCC Points Event #1 on Sunday, March 10th.
We want to see all of our members, new and old, at this event! "Little Rock" has quickly become one of our favorite sites. A small oval track with banking and a cross-over allows for many creative course configurations. There's a lot of grip and a lot of pavement to play with!
COVID Notice: In light of the COVID-19 situation, every attempt will be made to minimize the risks of exposure to the virus. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to assess the risk to you, both on-track and off, and to make the decision on whether or not to participate. If you are feeling unwell or are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath please stay home. If you have been in contact with someone who has been experiencing these symptoms in the last two weeks, please stay home.
While on site please take the health and safety of your fellow participants, volunteers and staff into consideration and practice physical distancing, wear a mask, and wash your hands and/or use hand sanitizer frequently.
- These rules will be enforced and we will be re-stating them frequently during the event. If you feel you cannot comply, please do not sign up for the event.
- There will be standard AX Tech at this event so please leave your hood open and helmet ready for inspection
- We will provide water
- There are a limited supply of loaner helmets which will be single use. If you have a helmet please bring it.
- We will be running with classes and numbers
We take the health and safety of both our staff and our attendees very seriously! Please, if you are unable or unwilling to follow these event guidelines, we ask that you do not sign up to participate.
Our web site, THSCC.COM will be very helpful at getting you ready for this event. Select the "autocross" tab to find everything that you need to know for an autocross event: what to do, which class you should sign up for, and directions to the site. You will find classes and numbers that you can print by selecting "forms". Novices only need to print the "NOV" class, not the actual car's class. Remember to bring tape to post your class and number on the side of your car. A mandatory instructional couse walk for all Novices is requrired; see the event schedule below. Please have your car ready and be there on time. The Novice guide and checklist will help you prepare for a fun day of autocross.
Check out some videos of the previous events to get an idea what this event will be all about:
If you have never autocrossed before, please check out the video below.

- Clean out any loose items in the car, this includes cell phones cables, garage door openers, loose change and such.
- The battery has to be properly secured.
- If your floor mats are not physically attached to carpet, they will have to be removed. We don't want the floor mat to bunch up under the brake or gas.
- Hubcaps and center caps on wheels should be removed. If your hubcaps mount to the wheel and are held in place by the lug nuts, then they can stay on, otherwise they should be removed.
- Have a SNELL approved helmet, 2010 or newer (M-rated or SA-rated). We do not accept DOT-only approved helmets any longer.
It is your responsibility to:
- Check basic fluids such as oil, coolant, and brake.
- Make sure you torque the lug nuts to manufacturer's recommended tightness.
- Make sure you have no active leaks on the motor, transmission or diff. Oil on the track is a bad thing.
- Check tire pressure. If you don't know what to set it to, ask ASAP.
- You WILL experience greater than normal tire wear. Your tires MUST be serviceable, meaning they have appropriate tread, no chords showing, etc.
In addition, TO ANYONE ATTENDING THEIR FIRST AUTOCROSS:
- In regards to displaying your class and numbers, please keep in mind that you should use tape or printed letters and numbers that contrast to your car's color, i.e. no blue tape on blue cars.

Mike Donais shared some information about his position with Blizzard and involvement with Hearthstone
Today we learned of another hit to the Hearthstone development team, as our beloved Game Designer Mike Donais announced (in Twitch chat) his departure from Hearthstone, but also shares that he remains in Blizzard.
Here you can see all the relevant messages he posted in Twitch chat while he was watching Dog:
Dean "IksarHS" Ayala has responded to a reddit post about the whole situation
Quote from Dean AyalaMike is OP. He still gives us advice and just recently pitched us a robo-murloc design for battlegrounds even though he had already moved on from the team. Thanks Mike, I know we can always count on you for murloc designs and murloc related puns.
Battlegrounds is now a responsibility of the card design team, so the same team that works on expansions will now also handle content production for that game mode.

"The Miracle" is a movie about the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team's win over the Soviet Union in the middle of the Cold War. I was one of the millions who watched the original—camped out in front of my television on that Friday night, sweating and cheering and chanting "USA, USA." I will never forget the drama and exhilaration of that event. So I went to the cinema the other afternoon, knowing more or less what to expect. What I got was a sermon on leadership.
Herb Brooks had only a few months to mold a collection of ex-college athletes into a unit that could take on the mighty Soviets and put a stop to the constant humiliations they were inflicting on all comers. Brooks first raised eyebrows by cutting the superstars from the team. "Stars do not win championships," he said. "Unity does. I want players with a passion for the game and a fierce loyalty to each other who will function on the ice like one man." He drove them relentlessly and demanded superhuman effort. Most of the time, the players hated his guts. As they began to win games, they bought into the vision Brooks had cast. "The Miracle" is about many things—sports, patriotism, history—but mostly, it's about leadership and followership.
John Grisham's book "Bleachers" tells the story of Eddie Rake who coached a high school football team for 44 years, during which they won 13 state championships and earned a reputation as the powerhouse of state athletics. As Rake lies on his deathbed, former players return home to catch up and reminisce. Most of them despise the man for his brutal win-at-all costs tactics. Only after a young player died of heatstroke and Rake was fired, did the team learn to play the sport for love and not from fear. Leadership and followership come in all varieties.
Prophets Deborah and Barak composed a song of praise to God after an impressive victory over the Canaanites. The hymn begins:
"That the leaders led in Israel,
That the people volunteered,
Bless the Lord."
(Judges 5:2)
Here is the perfect arrangement for every team, every church, every army: leaders leading, members working.
1. Leaders leading and members working results in the best of all possible combinations. It may not guarantee success, but it will never fail to bring out the best efforts of everyone and produce a sweet spirit of accomplishment. No coach wins the game alone, but no team wins without a good coach. It takes both. Each needs the other; each feeds off the other. A perfect symbiosis.
2. With neither leaders nor workers doing anything, apathy, stagnation, and hopelessness set in. Defeat and discouragement flourish. In the 8th and 6th centuries B.C., the prophets Hosea and Jeremiah called on God's people to "break up the fallow ground." Ask any farm boy. Fallow ground has lain untouched by the plow year after year, producing a hard crust and fine crop of weeds and briars. Such churches or teams may be safely considered dead and in serious need of resurrection.
3. When leaders lead but the people refuse to follow, both groups will grow frustrated. Leaders will eventually tire of leading a charge no one is making, and go home. The old joke says if you are leading and no one is following, you're only taking a walk. But there's nothing funny about it. Scores of pastors and coaches and managers know too well the frustration of trying to inspire people who will not budge. This accounts for the constant frustration in the life of Moses. (His story is told in Exodus and Numbers).
4. Sometimes, the people are willing but no one leads. Those charged with leading out—pastors, bosses, coaches, generals—are satisfied the way things are, while the membership chomps at the bit, eager to march. The team is ready to win games, the army to win battles, the church to win souls. But without leadership, confusion and division set in. Late in 1862, frustrated by General George McClellan's unwillingness to engage the Confederates in battle, even though his army was superior in numbers, President Lincoln wrote him a letter of one sentence: "If you don't want to use the army, I should like to borrow it for a while. Yours respectfully, A. Lincoln."
The winning team douses its coach with Gatorade and totes him off the field. At the news conference, the coach calls it a team victory and gives credit lavishly to the players. That's how total victories are achieved. Give a good coach recognition and a raise. Honor the water boy, the equipment manager, and the players. Each is incomplete without the other.
David and his army of 600 were in hot pursuit of a gang that had invaded the land, burning cities, capturing women and children, and taking valuables. When one-third of his men grew too tired to continue, David assigned them to stay and guard their supplies. A few days later on their return, the victors did not want to share the spoils. David's response became the standard for generations to come in Israel. "For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays by the baggage. They shall share alike." (I Samuel 30:24) Share the work, share the spoils.
"We who are many are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let each exercise them accordingly….." (Romans 12:5-6)

Product Model: OPGW-24B1-40
Product structure: It is aluminum tube type, aluminum skeleton type, and (stainless) steel tube type.
Laying method: overhead
Operating temperature: -40℃~ 65℃
Application range
OPGW fiber optic cable is mainly used in 500KV, 220KV, and 110KV voltage level lines, subject to line blackout, security, and other factors, more in the new line applications.
OPGW optical cable performance
- Applicable to all kinds of new overhead power lines and the renovation of existing power lines
- Good structure compactness
- High tensile strength
- Low mutual interference between power grid and communication network due to short circuit current
- Transmission of various control signals for multi-way broadband communication
- Advanced stainless steel tube production technology, the tube is filled with water-blocking compounds, which can effectively protect the fiber
- The remaining length of the fiber and the core stranding pitch ensures that the OPGW optical fiber cable is not under stress when it is under maximum operating tension.
- Similar to the common ground wire specifications, it is very convenient to set up and can directly replace the original ground wire.
OPGW fiber optic cable type
There are three main types of structure: aluminum tube type, aluminum skeleton type, and (stainless) steel tube type.
OPGW fiber optic cable applications:
OPGW power optical cable is mainly used in 500KV, 220KV, and 110KV voltage level lines, subject to line outages, security, and other factors, more in the new line applications.
Applicable characteristics of OPGW
(1) high voltage over 110kv lines, the file distance is large (generally above 250M).
(2) Easy to maintain, easy to solve for line crossing problems, its mechanical characteristics can meet the line large crossing.
(3)The outer layer of OPGW is metal armored, which does not affect high voltage galvanic corrosion and degradation.
(4)OPGW must be blacked out during construction, and the loss of power outage is large, so OPGW should be used in new high-voltage lines above 110kv.
(5)Among the performance indexes of OPGW, the higher the short-circuit current is, the more it needs to be armored with a good conductor, then the tensile strength is reduced accordingly, and with a certain tensile strength, the only way to increase the short-circuit current capacity is to increase the metal cross-sectional area.
OPGW fiber optic cable installation design
The installation design of OPGW should take into account the stress of the conductor, the arc sag, and the insulation gap, as well as its load, which should not exceed the use range allowed by the existing tower and foundation. Therefore, the characteristic curve of OPGW should be calculated according to the main technical parameters of the selected OPGW, and the layout, shape, and installation diagrams of junction boxes, various types of fixtures, and accessories should be designed according to the actual project.
- In The initial elongation of the processing of the initial elongation of the Optical Power Ground Wire, the cooling method can be used, that is, to review the aluminum steel ratio of the OPGW, concerning the cooling value of similar conductors or ground wire processing its initial elongation.
- anti-vibration measures design OPGW supporting the use of the fixture, withstanding wire clamps for pre-stranded wire type, pendant wire clamps with pre-stranded wire, rubber liner, these two types of fixtures already have a certain anti-vibration capacity. To further strengthen the ability to prevent vibration, one can consider the installation of an anti-vibration hammer, generally calculated by file distance: file distance ≤ 300M, the installation of an anti-vibration hammer; file distance > 300M, the installation of two anti-vibration hammer.
- The construction and erection of OPGW are different from ordinary steel stranded wire, so attention should be paid to prevent permanent damage to avoid affecting the performance of optical fiber in the future, and consideration should be given to twisting of OPGW, slight bending, local radial pressure outside the wire clamp and pollution of optical fiber.
Therefore, the following effective measures should be taken to address them during the construction phase.
(1) Prevent OPGW twisting in the walking plate and tight wire clamp with a balanced hammer, or anti-twist device; use special double-slotted pulleys; use a double-stranded tension anti-wire machine.
(2) Prevent and reduce the micro-bending and stress of OPGW do not allow sharp angles to appear (control the minimum bending radius of 500mm);
The diameter of the OPGW cable tray should be not less than 1500mm. The diameter of the pulley should be more than 25 times the diameter of OPGW, generally not less than 500mm. The inner side of the pulley should have a nylon or rubber liner to prevent rubbing the surface of OPGW. Suitable traction line and wire release gold.
Specify the maximum disk length of OPGW as 6000M to prevent the number of times over the pulley.
Limit the continuous line release to ≤30°, and the OPGW should be in the shape of "C" after the corner in a release tension section.
(3)Tension control: use a hydraulic tension release machine and traction machine with a tension release device; limit the release speed to ≤ 0.5m/sec.
(4) Prevent fiber contamination. In the construction and erection of OPGW, attention should be paid to encapsulating the ends.
In addition, before the Optical Power Ground Wire for Transmission use arrives at the site, before the erection, after the erection and after the completion of the whole construction, the acceptance test of the optical fiber decay of OPGW should be carried out at the site in time.
