Today's Google "doodle" depicts colourful elements key to the methods of Montessori education. The fun graphics is in commemoration of the 142nd birthday of Maria Montessori who is of course known for the philosophy of education that she pioneered.
The Montessori approach is based around learning in an environment in which a number of physical objects are situated to stimulate natural instincts and self-directed learning.
The Children's School in Stamford, Connecticut (both images) is located in Stamford, Connecticut. The design of this Montessori School for children aged 2-8 is based around the concept of a "one room schoolhouse", with each space connected to the next as well as to interior connected to the outdoors. The natural environment was also high on the agenda in the school's construction with the building obtaining a LEED certification.
Never underestimate the impact of a child's surroundings when it comes to their education...
Let's celebrate education today... And modern architecture of course!

Why not hold on to Summer as long as possible and just follow it?! This portable beach house design will let you do just that!
Designed by Crosson, Clarke, Carnachan Architects, this home was made to rest within the coastal erosion zone, where all buildings must be removable. So, the "hut" is designed on two thick wooden sleds for movement.
The interiors, like the architecture, were kept simple. But no space should go without modern seating and simple home decor.
What a view! And to think, you could actually turn this home for a different view if you really wanted...
And away they go...

It's not always bad to be passive, especially when it comes to sustainable building. Passive Houses are starting to stack up worldwide and this means good things for widespread, dramatic impact on energy conservation.
You might be wondering what is a Passive House? Well, this level of sustainable building is a concept that represents today's highest energy standard with the promise of slashing the heating energy consumption of buildings by an amazing 90%!
"Passive" describes the system's underlying receptivity and retention capacity. A Passive House is a very well-insulated, a virtually air-tight building that is primarily heated by passive solar gain and by internal gains from people, electrical equipment, etc.
When architect couple Milena Karanesheva and Mischa Witzmann decided it was time for more space, they decided to give up city life and build a Passive House outside of the French capital. They settled on the small town of Bessancourt, about 17 miles northwest of Paris.
The bamboo that they decided to cover the house in, creates an avoidance of heat gain through shading and window orientation also helps to limit any cooling load, which is similarly minimized.
They incorporated double-flow ducts into the home's interior, exposing them at various points. They distribute fresh air, keeping temperatures around 66 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter and 71 degrees in the summer, never going higher than 78. Perfect, right?
They kept the interiors simple and modern through contemporary seating and stylish, modern lighting.
It can't hurt to incorporate even some of the sustainable elements of a Passive House. Ironically, it would be a very determined and progressive step forward for any of us to take on....

Interior design and branding are a beautiful combination that tell visual stories and create a mood. This Finnish, modern restaurant design, Sis Deli + Cafe does so with bold black and white interior design and packaging. Although this isn't a new restaurant, this sibling design team Muotohiomo, did such an amazing job that it stills seems as fresh today as it did when it opened in 2009.
These black gingham bags make a statement all on their own, but when mixed with the white subway tiles and the black and white menu board you've got a perfected balance!
The simplicity of the black counter grounds element into the space. Modern black barstools stand proudly in any interior. The design concept is a very simple look with special attention paid to every detail. Possibly, a modern black pendant light over the counter would have been a great accent and possibly the only thing missing. But then again, we love lighting!
What do you think? Light or No LIght?
Pinnacle Large Black Tech Lighting Mini Pendant Light
Even these black and white gingham cups are perfect. So perfect you wouldn't want to throw them away...
From the tile, to the packaging, to the tray, to the silverware you've got yourself a beautifully designed and branded restaurant that is sure to create a lasting impression. It's thoughtful, simple, and lasting.
And I think this says it just right, "The visual image is a kind of tripwire for the emotions." - Diane Ackerman

Government programs allowing Americans with offshore bank accounts to come clean to the IRS have netted the government $5.5 billion from 39,000 taxpayer disclosures.
But a Government Accountability Office (GAO) investigation, released over the weekend, suggests that even more funds have yet to be recovered, citing one estimate that offshore noncompliance may total "several tens of billions of dollars."
One of the GAO report's findings is that many taxpayers, in an effort to avoid onerous penalties and back taxes, are not joining the IRS' offshore voluntary disclosure programs, instead filing amended returns or simply disclosing offshore accounts in current returns, without acknowledging past years' nondisclosure.
But these "quiet disclosures" could backfire, in the view of Dennis Brager (right), a former IRS senior tax attorney with a tax litigation practice in Los Angeles. That is because the IRS now has the means at its disposal to identify noncompliant taxpayers.
"People are filing the quiet disclosures because they want to avoid paying a penalty of 27.5% of the highest balance in the offshore account at any time during the prior eight years," Brager told AdvisorOne in an interview.
The principal of the Brager Tax Law Group said taxpayers who were not disclosing their offshore accounts must pay all back taxes for the past eight years, an additional penalty of 20% of the tax, plus interest—all on top of the 27.5% of their offshore account's highest balance.
As painful as that might seem to those who failed to report their offshore money, failure to do so could result in penalties of 50% or higher, he says. So that is the reason why offshore account holders should give serious consideration to a "noisy disclosure," Brager adds.
"If [offshore account holders are] caught, they are subject to a potential penalty of 50% of the balance of the account and that penalty can be imposed for multiple years. You can have a penalty equal to several times the value of the account," he says.
"In addition, if what you did was intentional, there are potential criminal penalties, jail time. That's why somebody might be motivated to make a noisy disclosure."
One of the key points of the GAO report is that the IRS has not done enough to pursue taxpayers taking corrective action without reporting it, hoping to avoid penalties, as well as those reporting foreign accounts for the first time without correcting past returns.
"For some of those people, that gamble will pay off, and some are going to get nailed," Brager says.
Not everyone with an offshore account set out to evade taxes, Brager says.
"In my practice, [many clients] immigrated from other countries, left money over there, and didn't really give it too much thought. It was earning interest, invested in stocks. It's over there in India, Hong Kong. 'I'm paying tax on it over there,' the thinking goes.
"There are a lot of people who didn't set out to hide it but didn't affirmatively report it," Brager adds. "Those people are getting hit with the same penalties as those who were purposely hiding."
Brager sees a role here for financial advisors—CPAs particularly—to nudge their wealthy clients.
"When clients come to me and we discuss how the money got off shore and how it was that it didn't get reported and how it is that they didn't file foreign bank reports; they say: 'Well, my financial advisor never told me I needed to do this. I didn't know any better.'
"So financial advisors need to be very careful about what they're saying to their clients," Brager continues. "If the financial advisor becomes aware that the client has assets overseas, they need to advise the client they need to consult with somebody" who can advise on the legal issues at stake.
Brager's conclusion: "People who have offshore accounts are very vulnerable. If they don't go into the [voluntary disclosure] program, they're taking a substantial risk."
The IRS has said it concurs with the GAO's findings and intends to take more active measures to find taxpayers with offshore accounts who are not joining the IRS voluntary disclosure programs.

Summary of the Novel
In Gulliver's Travels, Gulliver describes his four voyages. In the first voyage, he is the only person to reach land after a shipwreck. He awakes to find himself tied down by tiny men; these are the Lilliputians. A Hurgo (official) supervises them. Gulliver agrees to cooperate, and is untied and taken to the capital where he meets Lilliput's Emperor. He agrees to serve the Lilliputians, and is granted partial freedom in return. Gulliver prevents an invasion from Lilliput's enemy, Blefuscu, by stealing the enemy's ships and is given a high title of honor. He makes friends and enemies at court and learns details of Lilliputian society. After putting out a fire in the palace by urinating on it, he is accused of high treason through polluting the palace. He is sentenced to be blinded and starved. However, Gulliver escapes to Blefuscu, finds a boat, sails out to sea, and is picked up by an English ship.
Two months after his return to England, Gulliver leaves on his second voyage. He lands in an unknown country to get water and is abandoned. A giant reaper picks him up (he is in the country of the gigantic Brobdingnagians) and takes him to a farmer, who wants him to be on exhibit as a freak. He fights a gigantic cat and other monstrous animals. The Queen of Brobdingnag buys Gulliver and presents him to the King. The farmer's daughter, Glumdalclitch, who had befriended Gulliver, is hired by the King as Gulliver's guardian and nurse. Gulliver quarrels with the King's dwarf, but describes England in detail to the King. Gulliver is carried around in a box and tours the kingdom. He fights birds and animals and finds the King's Maids of Honor, who undress before him, disgusting him because of their great size. Gulliver's box is picked up by a gigantic eagle and dropped into the sea; he is picked up by an English ship and returns to England.
Shortly after his return, Gulliver leaves on his third voyage. His ship is captured by pirates, who set him adrift in a small boat. He arrives on the flying island of Laputa, which flies over the continent of Balnibarbi. The people he meets are interested only in abstract speculations. Their king asks Gulliver only about mathematics in England. Gulliver learns that the island is kept flying by magnetism. He travels to Balnibarbi, and he is shown the Academy of Laputa, where scholars devote all their time to absurd inventions and ideas. He then goes to Glubbdubdrib, an island of magicians. The king is waited on by ghosts, and he calls up the ghosts of dead historical characters at Gulliver's request. He then goes to Luggnagg, where the Struldbruggs who have eternal life but not eternal youth. After spending time in Japan, Gulliver returns to England.
On his fourth voyage, Gulliver is set on shore in an unknown land by mutineers. This is the land of the Houyhnhms: intelligent, rational horses who hold as servants repulsive animal-like human beings called Yahoos. A dapple-gray Houyhnhm who becomes his master is unable to understand the frailties and emotions in Gulliver's account of England. The Assembly is distressed at the idea of a partly-rational Yahoo living with a Houyhnhm, votes to expel Gulliver. He makes a boat and is picked up by a Portuguese ship. On his return to England, Gulliver is so disgusted with human beings that he refuses to associate with them, preferring the company of horses.
The Life and Times of Jonathan Swift
Jonathan Swift, dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, was a major figure in literature and politics in both Ireland and England. He was famous in his own time as a witty satirist of many aspects of life. He later became world-famous as the author of a children's classic, Gulliver's Travels, which was not originally intended by its author as a children's book. He was born in Dublin to a well-to-do family partly of English descent, was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and Oxford University, and worked as secretary to the retired politician Sir William Temple. These other experiences acquainted him with the vanity and follies of leading figures in British life. Later, after difficulties in obtaining employment as a clergyman of the Church of England, he increased his acquaintance with fashionable society and acquired the tinge of bitterness that characterizes much of his literary work.
At the beginning of the eighteenth century, Swift (already a fashionable satirist), received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from the University of Dublin and began to write political satires. In 1704, having already published some widely-read political works, Swift became famous with the publication of The Battle of the Books and The Tale of a Tub. Other satirical works spread Swift's fame to London, which he visited frequently. Swift was a major figure in the Tory party as well as a journalist and writer when, in 1713, he became the dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Anglican (Episcopal) cathedral of Dublin. As dean, he was assistant to the bishop, supervising the cathedral's day-to-day affairs.
Although he never married, Swift had a long and close friendship with Esther Johnson, known to him as Stella, to whom the published diary called the Journal to Stella was addressed. After becoming dean, Swift met Ester Vanhomrigh, daughter of a wealthy merchant. He called her "Vanessa," and they too had a close friendship. In 1723, Vanessa, hearing of Swift's friendship with Stella, died.
Gulliver's Travels, which Swift began writing by 1720, was published anonymously in 1726. Additional successful satirical works were written in the following years, but as Swift grew old, his health deteriorated. In 1742, after suffering several strokes, he was declared insane. He died several years later in 1745.
Swift's numerous works, including articles as well as books, attacked many of the evils of his time, particularly political corruption and the oppression of the Irish by the English. His wit and satire attract, amuse, and educate the reader.
Estimated Reading Time
Three weeks should be allowed for the study of Gulliver's Travels. Two weeks will be required to read the novel, reading four chapters at a sitting. The student should read every day from Monday to Friday. After reading the chapters, the student should answer all study questions in this guide to ensure understanding and comprehension. The essay questions may be used if needed. The fourth week is set aside for reports, projects, and testing as deemed necessary by the teacher.

Infectious mononucleosis, also known as mononucleosis, "mono," or glandular fever, is characterized by swollen lymph glands, fever, sore throat, and chronic fatigue.
Infectious mononucleosis is either caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) or the cytomegalovirus,(CMV), both of which are members of the herpes virus family. Consider the following information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
Mononucleosis usually lasts for one to two months. The following are the most common symptoms of mononucleosis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Once a person has had mononucleosis, the virus remains dormant in the throat and blood cells for the rest of that person's life. Once a person has been exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus, a person is usually not at risk for developing mononucleosis again.
The symptoms of mononucleosis may resemble other medical conditions. Always consult your health care provider for a diagnosis.
A diagnosis of mononucleosis is usually based on reported symptoms. However, diagnosis can be confirmed with specific blood tests and other laboratory tests, including:
Mononucleosis is often spread through contact with infected saliva from the mouth. Symptoms can take between four to six weeks to appear and usually do not last beyond four months, according to the CDC. Transmission is impossible to prevent, according to the CDC, because even symptom-free people can carry the virus in their saliva.
Treatment for mononucleosis may include:

Gainesville, Fla. - The Stetson softball team attempted a second dramatic comeback in as many days, but instead had its history-making season come to end Saturday following a 6-4 setback to UCF at the NCAA Gainesville Regional.
The Hatters (39-14) fell to No. 5 national seed Florida 14-0 earlier in the day.
UCF (43-17) advances to face Florida in the regional final on Sunday.
Stetson trailed 6-0 after three-and-a-half innings, but the Hatters rallied with a run in the fourth, two in the fifth and one in the seventh to cut the deficit to 6-4. With two outs and the winning run at the plate, Jessica Griffin drove a ball to deep rightcenter field before it was hauled in for the final out of the game.
"We had an opportunity at the end to actually win it," Stetson head coach Frank Griffin said. "Frankly, I thought the ball was going over the fence. It didn't quite have the backspin that I hoped it would have on it."
Stetson completed the 2014 season with its highest win total since 2008 and its sixth-highest win total of all-time. The Hatters also went 4-0 to win the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship and posted their first NCAA postseason victory in school history against the Knights on Friday.
"It was a very rewarding season for the players, the coaching staff, and for me in particular, Frank Griffin said. "This group was 5-2 in the postseason. That's a big accomplishment for us at Stetson."
Jessica Griffin got the Hatters on the board in the fourth inning with an opposite field home run, which marked Stetson's school-record 46th round-tripper of the season.
Jessie TenBroeck went 3-for-3 at the plate with two singles and a double. She also scored twice, setting a new single-season school-record with 49 runs scored.
Meredith Owen and Kayla Drury added RBI singles for Stetson.
Brittany Hawn had a putout and three assists, extending her errorless streak to exactly 100 consecutive chances.
Owen also had five strikeouts in the circle in the final game of her illustrious career. She received an extended standing ovation before departing in the top of the fifth inning. Owen finished her four seasons at Stetson with 71 career wins and 33 career home runs.
Chrissy Morello had two hits Saturday to run her career total to 206. She also stole 81 bases and scored 125 runs during her four seasons.
Sarah Read pitched three spotless innings of relief Saturday and completed her two-year career with 10 wins in the circle.

Diagnosis of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis can be detected with bone density testing. First, the doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history and perform a physical exam. If the doctor suspects you may have osteoporosis or you are at risk for osteoporosis, you may have one or more of the following tests:
Bone mineral density (BMD) tests are painless, noninvasive tests that measure your bone mass. With a BMD test, your bone mass is measured and then compared to that of either a healthy 30-year-old adult (T score) or the expected bone mass of someone your age (Z score). Because low BMD is common among older adults, comparison to peers your age can be misleading. The results of a BMD test will indicate whether you have normal bone density, low bone density (osteopenia), or full-blown osteoporosis.
These test results, coupled with assessment of your risk factors for osteoporosis, will help you and your doctor decide which prevention or treatment options are right for you.
The types of BMD test used depends on why it is being done.
- Tests for diagnosis of osteoporosis include:
- Central dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA)—an x-ray that measures bone density of the spine, hip, or total body
- Central quantitative computed tomography (QCT)—an x-ray that uses a computer to measure bone density of the spine
- Tests for screening for osteoporosis include:
- Central DXA or peripheral DXA—measures bone density at peripheral sites, such as wrist, heel, or finger
- Quantitative ultrasound (QUS)—a test that uses sound waves to measure bone density in the heel, shinbone, and kneecap
- Central or peripheral QCT—measures bone density at the lower arm, wrist, finger or heel
Blood and urine tests—These tests check calcium and vitamin D levels, and other substances created when bone is formed or broken down. Results indicate whether the process of bone breakdown in your body is occurring at a normal or an excess rate.
Bone biopsy—Done in certain cases to check for other causes of bone disease.

privacyIDEA is a multi-factor authentication solution. It can manage any type of authentication device. All common OTP (one time password) devices are supported, including Google Authenticator, eToken Pass, OTP cards, and Yubikey. New devices can be added easily. Users can be retrieved from flat files, LDAP, Active Directory, SQL databases, and SCIM services. It can also handle authorization and writes all events to a digitially signed audit log, giving you basic AAA functionalities.
Weboob is a project that provides several applications (console or graphical) to interact with a lot of Web sites. There are more than 90 supported Web sites and 20 applications to view bank accounts, get bills, drag on dating Web sites, search and play videos, display the weather, read news, show train timelines, search torrents, interact with bug trackers, edit a wiki, listen to radio, view and download image galleries, look for a new home, and perform other useful tasks.
TimeTrex is a complete Web-based payroll and time management suite that offers employee scheduling, time and attendance (timeclock, timesheet/timecard), job costing, invoicing, and payroll in a single package. Employees can use Web browsers or timeclocks to track their time and attendance, check their own timesheet for missed punches, and respond to flagged timesheet errors. Payroll administrators can quickly generate paystubs and process payroll based off timesheet information or export timesheet data to other applications.
TagSpaces lets you organize, tag, and browse your files, photos, and documents on many platforms. It lets you create and manage notes and Web snippets (like in Evernote, but completely offline) and create a personal Wiki system. It features integrated MHTML, PDF, ODF, and image viewers, a Markdown viewer and editor, an advanced WYSIWYG HTML5 editor, file tagging based on filenames (extremely portable), a simple source code viewer and editor for the most common programming languages, and basic file and directory management.
JS-Collider is an event-driven Java network NIO framework. It is designed to provide maximum performance and scalability for applications having not too many connections but significant amounts of network traffic (both incoming and outgoing). Performance and scalability are achieved via lock free algorithms and atomic states usage. It supports UDP (with multicast) as well. One of the implementation points is to avoid unsafe cheating; it should work the same way on all JVMs (Java 1.7). It supports shared memory IPC.
LinOTP is a solution for strong two-factor authentication with one time passwords. It features a modular architecture into which UserIdResolver, authentication, and OTP calculation modules can be plugged. It includes UserIdResolver modules for LDAP/AD, SQL, and flat file user databases, and authentication modules for PAM and RADIUS. New modules can be developed easily.

NASA introduced eight new astronauts yesterday. The space agency says they will lay the groundwork for missions to an asteroid and eventually Mars.
For the first time, half the new astronauts are women whose paths can be traced back to an event that happened 30 years ago today.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: T-minus-10, nine, eight, seven, six, we go for main start - we have main engine start - and ignition and liftoff. Liftoff of SES 7 and America's first woman astronaut. And the shuttle has cleared the tower.
GREENE: Onboard that space shuttle, 32-year-old mission specialist Sally Ride, the first American woman in space.
SALLY RIDE: I guess that I was maybe more excited about getting a chance to fly early than I was about getting to be the first woman. I think that it's a real experience and the experience of a lifetime.
INSKEEP: Still, it was inevitable that other people would focus on Sally Ride's gender. That subject came up in a news conference a year before her launch into space.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: When there was a problem, when there was a funny glitch or whatever, how did you respond? How do you take it as a human being? Do you weep? Do you - what do you do?
RIDE: Why doesn't anybody ask Rick those questions?
GREENE: Ride was referring there to her crewmate Rick Hauck. On the day the shuttle carried Ride into space, the crowd at the Kennedy Space Center including feminist leader Gloria Steinem.
GLORIA STEINEM: For all of us who grew up never seeing a woman who was a police officer, a judge, a scientist, you know, made us feel that we could not be those things. So, for a little girl could see this on television and to see all over the world is a big help.
INSKEEP: Sally Ride went into space in the Shuttle Challenger. Less than three years after that mission when Challenger was heading into space again, it would explode shortly after launch, killing all seven crewmembers.
GREENE: Ride served on the commission investigating that disaster. Months after the tragedy, she spoke to MORNING EDITION.
RIDE: I think it's very important that we try and rebuild the NASA - I don't want to say image because that sounds a little bit superficial - but really get back to basics at NASA and get back to what people expect us to be.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #3, BYLINE: You would fly again?
RIDE: I would fly again.
GREENE: Sally Ride did not fly again. She retired from NASA not long after that interview, dedicating the rest of her life to encouraging children - girls especially - to pursue careers in science and engineering.
INSKEEP: She was also called upon by NASA, again, to help investigate a disaster - the Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003. And she told us then that she still believed in exploring space.
RIDE: All you need to do is look into the eyes of the kids growing up today. When you mention astronauts, the planets, the space program to them, their eyes just light up. It really captivates them and it ignites something deep inside of all of us.
INSKEEP: The late Sally Ride became the first American woman in space 30 years ago today.
WILSON PICKETT: (Singing) All you want to do is ride around, Sally ride...
INSKEEP: This is NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A CT or CAT scan is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices), both horizontally and vertically, of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, organs, and blood vessels. CT scans are more detailed than standard X-rays.
In standard X-rays, a beam of energy is aimed at the body part being studied. A plate behind the body part captures the variations of the energy beam after it passes through skin, bone, muscle, and other tissue. While much information can be obtained from a regular X-ray, a lot of detail about internal organs and other structures is not available.
In computed tomography, the X-ray beam moves in a circle around the body. This allows many different views of the same organ or structure, and provides much greater detail. The X-ray information is sent to a computer that interprets the X-ray data and displays it in two-dimensional form on a monitor. Newer technology and computer software makes three-dimensional (3-D) images possible.
CT scans may be done with or without contrast. "Contrast" refers to a substance taken by mouth or injected into an intravenous (IV) line that causes the particular organ or tissue under study to be seen more clearly. Contrast examinations may require you to fast for a certain period of time before the procedure. Your doctor will notify you of this prior to the procedure.
CT scans may be performed to help diagnose tumors, investigate internal bleeding, or check for other internal injuries or damage.
You may want to ask your doctor about the amount of radiation used during the CT procedure and the risks related to your particular situation. It is a good idea to keep a record of your past history of radiation exposure, such as previous CT scans and other types of X-rays, so that you can inform your doctor. Risks associated with radiation exposure may be related to the cumulative number of X-ray examinations and/or treatments over a long period of time. If you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant, you should notify your doctor.
Advances in computed tomography technology include the following:
Studies show that 85 percent of the population will not experience an adverse reaction from iodinated contrast; however, you will need to let your doctor know if you have ever had a reaction to any contrast dye, and/or any kidney problems. A reported seafood allergy is not considered to be a contraindication for iodinated contrast. If you have any medical conditions or recent illnesses, inform your doctor. The effects of kidney disease and contrast agents have attracted increased attention over the last decade, as patients with kidney disease are more prone to kidney damage after contrast exposure. If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, you should notify your doctor. If you are claustrophobic or tend to become anxious easily, tell your doctor ahead of time, as he or she may prescribe a mild sedative for you before the procedure to make you more comfortable. It will be necessary for you to remain still and quiet during the procedure, which may last 10 to 20 minutes, on average.
Tell the radiologist if you are allergic to iodine or other materials, if you are pregnant, or if you are claustrophobic and think you will be unable to lie still while inside the scanning machine.
CT scans can be performed on an outpatient basis, unless they are part of a patient's inpatient care. Although each facility may have specific protocols in place, generally, CT scans follow this process:

Antony and Cleopatra is one of Shakespeare's best known later tragedies. Written about ten years after Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra portrays actual events and persons from Roman history, but unlike Julius Caesar it also embodies the love story of its title characters. For the historical background, plot and intimate details of the affair between the Roman general Antony and the Egyptian queen Cleopatra, Shakespeare drew upon the ancient Roman historian Plutarch's Lives; in fact, the description of Cleopatra upon her barge presented by the character Enobarbus in the play (II.ii.190-225) is nearly a word-for-word translation of a passage from Plutarch.
In Antony, Cleopatra, and Augustus Caesar, Shakespeare depicts characters that are larger than life, all three of the main figures commanding "planetary" status as rulers of the world and instruments of its destiny. Antony and Cleopatra is a very involved play, featuring rapid shifts between Cleopatra's palace in Alexandria, Egypt and Antony's homeland in Rome, along with two major battlefield sequences. There are in fact thirteen scenes in Act III and fifteen in Act IV. While some nineteenth and early twentieth century critics complained about the awkward structure of the play, recent interpretation has argued that this relentless movement in the middle of the play creates dramatic tension and reinforces the global scope of what is occurring on stage.
Antony and Cleopatra stands as one of Shakespeare's most poetic plays. It is noted for its evocative word paintings and vivid hyperbole. It is also regarded by many as a problem play, presenting as it does the ambiguity and ambivalence of life without providing clear or comfortable answers. The two lovers presented in the play may be world leaders, but they are also, after all, only human beings—flawed and aging ones at that. We as human beings share their mortality; many of us recognize their strong feelings of jealousy, love, shame, and insecurity. Despite their historical grandeur and thanks to Shakespeare's sensitive portrayal of them, Antony and Cleopatra are no more—and no less—extraordinary than we are.

ACI Run & Ride Challenge
Have you heard about ACI's recent Run & Ride Challenge? If not, here's the down-low: To help raise funds for the ACI's Memorial Scholarship Fund, Courtney Moriarta of SRA International has committed to running or riding (cycling, that is) the distance from ACI's headquarters in Pittsburgh to the ACI National Home Performance Conference site in Denver. And she plans on meeting that 1,399-mile goal by the date of the conference, April 30, 2013.
To help the scholarship fund, Courtney is making a personal donation of 50 cents per mile to the ACI Memorial Scholarship Fund, and she's agreed to match an additional 50 cents on the dollar for each pledge she gets, up to a total of $1,399 out of her pocket.
Courtney began this journey in September and to date she's traveled 504 miles and gained at least one dedicated participant: ACI board member Mike Rogers. Mike joined the race in December and he's made the same pledge to "get to that same 1,399 miles, making my contribution, and matching yours, too, with 50 cents for the dollar you pledge," he wrote on runtoaci.blogspot.com.
The Run to ACI blog has become a fun way to keep track of both Courtney and Mike's progress. (In Courtney's latest post, she calculated what this challenge would be like if they were instead trying to meet a challenge of eating cookies or drinking beer. Hint: It doesn't end well.)
Needless to say, this is a wonderful way to be involved in the scholarship fund. To learn more about the ACI Run & Ride Challenge, visit their web site. You can also make a pledge here.

The ROI of Mobile Photo Bill Pay
Banks are looking for new ways to increase profitability. Enabling mobile bill payment is a huge opportunity to forge stronger and more lasting bonds with their customers as a mean means to increase profitability. According to Aite Group, only about 15 percent of U.S consumers' currently pay their bills through their banks. Banks looking to seize this "85% opportunity" face considerable competition, not to mention the current difficulties in onboarding payees.

Capacity Management Evolved: How to Optimize VM Placement to Mitigate Risk, Right-Size Infrastructure and Cut Software Costs in Half
Many IT shops are still relying on outdated capacity management approaches that have not been designed to deal with the high-density, highly-automated, demand-driven virtual and cloud environments of today. As such. they are struggling with solutions that were designed for a bygone physical era when environments were static and planning was less frequent – solutions that are simply not useful in today's modern world. Cloud and virtual infrastructures demand more sophisticated methods, while infrequent management approaches must give way to more continuous control and modern capacity control systems need to determine where to place workloads and how to size infrastructure in order to minimize operational risks and significantly reduce key costs.

The Future of Mobile Development in Financial Services
Financial services companies, whether insurers or banks, are not shy about the possibilities for mobile technology to improve their customer relations or organizational agility. But mobile technology advances rapidly, and that puts pressure on companies' development organizations to discover and implement capabilities that leverage the main attractions of the channel -- location awareness and anytime, anywhere access -- on devices of different form factor or capabilities. Indeed, three years after the introduction of the iPad, tablet computers are poised to outstrip traditional PCs and become the major online portal for many financial services customers.
Using Security Visualization and Predictive Threat Modeling to Manage Network Complexity and Control Access Risk

The Integrated Advisor Desktop - Leveraging Digital Channels to Enhance the Advisor-Client Relationship
Today's investors are more hands on and more likely to actively seek investment advice. Research shows that investors who communicate and collaborate with their advisor electronically pay more for the guidance they receive. But most financial firms -- saddled with traditional, siloed CRM systems -- struggle to engage with their clients through digital channels while maintaining the same level of advice, service and regulatory compliance as traditional methods of communication.
Leveraging Customer Insight for Business Growth
Retail banking is facing many challenges as technology allows customers to choose from diverse banking options, from branch banking to smart phones. Banks have also extended their reach from local to national and global markets. Without the consistent customer engagement models that were successful in the past, how can financial institutions measure and monitor success with a whole new set of engagement models?

A woman is at increased risk for ovarian cancer if she has Lynch syndrome, also called hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). Having this syndrome increases a woman's risk of having ovarian cancer at a much younger age than usual.
A clinical diagnosis of Lynch syndrome is made when the following characteristics are present in a family:
Some families with mutations in HNPCC-related genes may be tested even though they may not have all of the above characteristics. Genetic testing for Lynch syndrome should only be done after you and your doctor feel sure that it is the best thing for you and your family. It should be done by an expert counselor who can help you understand the results and what they may mean to you and your family.
The majority of Lynch syndrome cases are caused by mutations in one of several mismatch-repair genes. These mismatch-repair genes help correct "spelling errors" in DNA that happen during the cell division process. When these genes are altered, or mutated, then the "spelling errors" in the DNA cannot be repaired.
These errors in the DNA can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, which causes cancer. In Lynch syndrome, the germline mutation may be inherited from either the mother or the father and is present in all cells of the body. Whether a person who is born with a germline mutation will develop cancer, when they develop cancer, and where the cancer(s) will appear depends on whether and where (which cell type) a second mutation occurs. For example, if the second mutation is in the colon, then colon cancer may develop. If it is in the ovary, then ovarian cancer may develop. The process of tumor development actually requires mutations in multiple genes that regulate cell growth. What causes these additional mutations is generally unknown. Possible causes include chemical, physical, or biological environmental exposures or chance errors in DNA replication.
Some people who have inherited a germline mismatch-repair gene mutation never develop cancer because they never receive that second mutation to knock out the function of the gene and start the process of tumor formation. This can make the cancer appear to skip generations in a family, even when the mutation is present. People with a mutation, regardless of whether they develop cancer, have a 50/50 chance of passing the mutation on to each of their children.
It is important to remember that the mismatch-repair genes responsible for Lynch syndrome are not located on the sex chromosomes. Therefore, mutations can be inherited from the mother's or the father's side of the family.

Spotify has come of age with new features for playlists, video and podcasts.
Spotify has come of age with new features for playlists, video and podcasts.
Updated Microsoft Edge (formerly known as Project Spartan) has some new features, but it's still no Chrome replacement.
Mini Review Is the latest edition of Parallels Desktop 9.0 for Mac worth the upgrade?
Unlimited listening and offline syncing means you can put as many songs as you like onto your devices. But can it beat Spotify?
The latest version of Desktop for Mac from Parallels boasts speed improvements and other enhancements such as support for 32GB of RAM. Is the higher price tag worth it?
The latest virtualisation tool from VMWare is Fusion 5. It comes less than a year since version 4, and as such, has only received a light brush of new headline features. Is it worth upgrading?
If you need to run Windows or Linux on your Mac, Parallels Desktop 7 is a great way to set about it.
Ensure that you never sit in silence again
