This exciting GLOMACS Essential Management Skills for Administrators training seminar has been specifically designed to help delegates understand the manager's role and to equip them with the key skills necessary to be an excellent and inspiring manager
Making the move into management is likely to present new challenges and responsibilities and requires an entirely new skill set. Progressing up the ladder into management is both exciting and daunting. Now you are also responsible for directing, developing and managing others so it is essential to find out how to manage effectively and with positive impact. Being a great manager doesn't happen automatically, you need to invest time and energy to develop the necessary skills.
It is likely that you are able to make this move because you have been the 'go to' person your boss and co-workers have always counted on. But now you need to equip yourself with the qualities of a leader. Now you will be required to know how to motivate and build team morale, take initiative, solve problems, and manage performance.
This GLOMACS training programme will enhance the participants' skills by:
- Clarifying how your role as an administrative professional will be changed by including managerial responsibilities
- Recognizing and implementation of effective communication skills
- Understanding personal leadership styles
- Implementing excellent performance management techniques
- Increasing your understanding of self-management skills
- Building motivated and effective teams
Attendance on this GLOMACS training programme will equip delegates with the necessary skills and techniques to successfully make the move into management, or if you are already managing, it will refine those skills and help you to be more effective. It will help delegates to manage and lead teams and to personally perform to a high level.
By the end of this GLOMACS training seminar you will be able to:
- Communicate clearly and effectively at all levels
- Develop effective personal leadership skills
- Build effective teams and empower team members through delegation, coaching and mentoring
- Manage and understand your own stress and that of your team members
- Understand the key elements of emotional intelligence
- Sustain performance and continuous improvement
- Make better and more effective decisions
Training Methodology
Trainers at GLOMACS pride themselves on delivering stimulating, thought-provoking and inspiring workshops that bring learning to life. The environment will be a supportive one in which individuals with varying degrees of experience will be encouraged to share the approaches they currently use as well as trying out new ones that they encounter on the training seminar. This GLOMACS Essential Management Skills for Administrators training seminar is based on a combination of interactive activities - group and individual exercises, role plays and discussions - along with more formal inputs. The training instructor will be on hand to answer any questions a delegate may have and to act as a facilitator for building and applying new approaches. We aim for this GLOMACS training seminar to be an enjoyable as well as a learning experience and feel that the mix of styles and learning techniques will prove valuable to those that attend.
Organisational Impact
Improving leadership and management capability is something that no organisation wishing to achieve long-term success can afford to ignore. You do not become a good manager by osmosis, you need to be willing to adapt and learn new skills. There is no question that good leadership and management can have a truly significant impact on performance, both in the immediate and longer term. Research into what makes organisations perform at a high level has shown that good management skills can:
- Significantly improve levels of employee engagement
- Drive an organisation's economic prosperity and growth
- Make a significant impact on the overall public perception of an organisation
- Enable organisations to achieve better productivity and long-term business success
- Motivate ambitious staff to become excellent leaders and managers
Personal Impact
Attendees on this GLOMACS Essential Management Skills for Administrators training programme are aware that their employers are investing in them by helping them to become better managers. This investment will help them perform better in their current role but will also ultimately empower them to become effective leaders.
This GLOMACS Office Administration training programme, demonstrates that well trained managers:
- Display more confidence in their ability to motivate staff
- Are better able to set realistic goals, develop strategic work plans and make effective decisions

YESTERDAY the FA charged Sol Campbell with violent conduct over his petulant kick at Eric Djemba-Djemba in the Community Shield.
Perhaps the suits at Soho Square should get their own house in order before pointing the finger at other people.
While they look at the tape of the Cardiff game they might ask themselves where the referee, Steve Bennett was when all of this was going on.
The answer is that he was in an excellent position. So how can he claim not to have seen the incident?
His positioning was one of the few things Bennett got right that afternoon.
He was in exactly the right place to see Ashley Cole take a swipe at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Better still was his view of Francis Jeffers' little scrap with Phil Neville.
Cole, Jeffers, Campbell. Three red card offences, all of which the referee should have seen perfectly.
Yet Jeffers was the only one to get dismissed. He must have sat in the dressing room afterwards cursing his luck.
Cole's good fortune might have had something to do with the fact that the game started with a flurry of yellow cards - including one for him after two minutes.
I suspect Mr Bennett was loathe to send a player off so early and risk an already fiery game getting out of hand, least of all "the season's curtain-raiser", live on TV.
Or to put it more simply: He bottled it.
As for Campbell, his retaliation came not long after Jeffers had walked. That probably saved him.
After he had just reduced Arsenal to ten men, Bennett didn't have the guts to make it nine.
Having seen Djemba-Djemba follow through and land his studs in Campbell's thigh - and the Orpington official owned up to seeing that one - any half-decent ref would have kept his eyes on the pair anticipating a potential flashpoint. Had he done so, he would have seen Campbell flick out in retaliation and would - well, should - have flashed the red card.
Jeffers will have to watch from the stands when Arsenal play Middlesbrough a week on Sunday.
Or worse still he could be restarting his Everton career from a seat in Goodison's Main Stand.
If players have a bad day they often pay the price. If refs do, plenty gets said, but nothing gets done.
Refs miss things from time to time, they're only human. But if a major incident happens slap bang in front of them, it's only fair that we expect our officials to see it and act on it. It's what they get paid for, after all.
Ask Liverpool fans if Mike Riley showed their side any leniency at Old Trafford last season.
There were just three minutes gone of Liverpool's game against Manchester United when Riley sent off Sami Hyypia for bringing down Ruud van Nistelrooy in the area.
Consistency? Forget it. The Community Shield is nothing more than a jumpedup friendly, and none of the incidents matter a great deal in the grand scheme of things.
But they are symptomatic of a trend.
Refereeing is a horrible job. They take no end of abuse from fans. But when things go wrong, though, their bosses rarely do anything about it.
By all accounts Riley carried on where he left off at the weekend.
Five minutes into the Leicester v Southampton game he awarded a penalty for
. . . erm . . . well, I'm not too sure actually.
All the TV replays I saw showed nothing more than Les Ferdinand falling to ground having just jumped for a header.
After the game the phone-in lines were red hot with fans just desperate to tell the rest of the world how badly he'd officiated.
Then at Anfield on Sunday - where, I must admit I thought Steve Bennett had a pretty decent game - we had the sublime and the ridiculous in the space of minutes.
ABOUT 77 minutes in, Juan Sebas tian Veron and Liverpool's Harry Kewell challenge one another for the ball (no, honestly).
Veron wins it (seriously, I'm not winding you up), kicks it against Kewell and out for a throw. All this happens in full view of linesman Dave Babski, who is about two yards away. His decision: Throw in to Liverpool.
As it turns out, the throw was quite important, but only because Wayne Bridge took leave of his senses shortly afterwards and hauled down El-Hadji Diouff. The resulting penalty was the Chelsea player's fault, not Babski's.
But when the penalty was taken eagle-eyed Babski - quite correctly - spotted Carlo Cudicini about half a pace off his line and recommended a retake.
As ECHO columnist Andy Gray pointed out at the time, how is it that the linesman can spot a tiny infringement like that from about 30 yards away yet not get something as basic as a throw in right when it happens two yards in front of him?
So instead of sitting down sometime between now and the end of the season - after all, it was only last week the FA got round to punishing Aston Villa and Birmingham for the brawl in their derby in MARCH - to decide the blatantly obvious (that Campbell did kick out at an opponent), maybe the powers that be should spend a little more time and effort making sure the men in the middle dealt with these things when they happen.

Unfortunately, tooth sensitivity is a common dental issue that causes extreme pain and discomfort, especially when consuming foods and drinks that are hot, cold, sweet, and acidic. Fortunately, Dr. Parampal can help you determine the underlying cause of your sensitivity and can provide or recommend the best treatment that can help you. The most common treatments include:
–Taking advantage of a professional fluoride treatment: Fluoride is your key to fighting tooth sensitivity. Usually, sensitivity results from acid breaking down your tooth enamel, exposing the sensitive layers within the tooth. Fluoride can build your enamel back up and block access to the internal structures that cause sensitivity.
–Using desensitizing and fluoride toothpaste: Fortunately, desensitizing and fluoride toothpaste can help you with your sensitivity. If you use them when you brush, the substances in the past will strengthen your enamel and prevent acid and other chemicals from having access to your tooth's sensitive underlying layers.
–Cutting out acidic foods and beverages: Usually, acidic foods and beverages tend to cause tooth sensitivity. This is because of acid attacking and wearing down the enamel, gaining access to the sensitive layers within. So, it's best to cut these products out of your diet as much as possible.
If you have any questions about tooth sensitivity in Modesto, California, please don't be afraid to call Pelandale Dental Care at 209-545-9489. Our dental team is here to help you and to give you the answers you're looking for so you can have the top-notch oral health and smile you deserve. We look forward to hearing from you!

Useful Team Statistics Cleveland averages 110 points per contest this season which ranks them 4th in the NBA.Thursday vs.The Pirates hold a .393 team slugging percentage and an on-base percentage of .325, which is good for 18th in baseball.In that time he has a shooting percentage of 9% by scoring 17 goals on 192 attempts.
They allow 32 shot attempts to their opposition per game and have a team save percentage of 91%, which is 13th in the league.Martinez was traded to the Diamondbacks on July 18 and made his debut with Arizona the following day.It still feels artificial, but it's closer to the feel of a purely mechanical system than anything else on the market.The Golden Flashes come into this game with an overall record of 14 and a road record of 4.During the first period, Riley Sheahan scored only a 1 into the game, and it was a sign of everything to come.
SK had been in a slump in the first quarter of the year, but most believed that under a new brand — clear of conflict — the players would figure it out.Do you have to court them or do they come to you?The public has quickly bought back in on New Orleans as nearly 70 percent of the action in their game at New England this week has come down on the Saints.
Leicester travel to Everton for a 12pm kick off before Cardiff host Tottenham at 5pm.Opponents hit .178 against Scherzer last season, the lowest opponent batting average for an NL pitcher in the live ball era .Jerry Bembry: Serena, while staging an amazing comeback in 2018, was fortunate in reaching two Grand Slam finals.But back the Eagles came, tying the score with just over three minutes left in the game.
The Spartans no longer have Pat Narduzzi coaching the defense, but Mark Dantonio is a defensive-minded guy, and I fully expect this team to stay very good on this side of the ball.The A's have won all four of his starts.The Utes weren't as successful in getting stops and Maine threw out a zone that helped the Black Bears hang around.They've scored 112 goals and given up 125 goals for a point differential of -13.

Continuous integration and Klocwork analysis
|In this topic:
You're already using Klocwork to create more secure and reliable software. Klocwork's Continuous Integration (CI) capability enables your organization to identify and communicate errors faster, without waiting for nightly builds. By identifying and communicating issues faster, developers can fix problematic code earlier.
As developers update and commit code, the CI build system picks up the changes and performs many small, incremental builds throughout the day. Instead of waiting for nightly builds, Klocwork CI analyzes the new code and notifies developers of problems right away. Here's an overview of the process:
- Developers make changes to the code and commit them.
- The CI build system detects the changes and builds the software.
- Klocwork CI analyzes the changes and generates a list of new and fixed issues in JSON format.
- The CI build system analyzes the results and takes action, depending on your process.
Supported environments
Klocwork CI supports the following:
- Jenkins, TeamCity, or any CI build system that supports command line and scripts.
- Windows and Linux agents/slaves

Official FreeBSD AMIs for AWS
There has been some really good news recently for users of AWS, who -like me- have a keen interest in running FreeBSD there. Previously there was only an unofficial source for FreeBSD AMIs (or semi-official, given that the person behind it is a former FreeBSD Security Officer). However, a couple of weeks ago, the FreeBSD team have included the generation of fresh AMIs into their regular snapshot schedule.
If you have been following FreeBSD's progress in AWS, you are certainly aware that Colin Percival of Daemonology (and former FreeBSD security officer) has spent a hell of a lot of effort over the years to get FreeBSD into AWS. That required quite a bit of hackery, and there wasn't a clean update path (because freebsd-update required a GENERIC kernel, which was incompatible with AWS). This made it rather difficult to use FreeBSD for anything serious on more than a few EC2 instances.
Thanks to his continued efforts, though, all his patches went into the GENERIC kernel eventually, and on top of that he's created a few supportive tools which make the whole experience of running FreeBSD in AWS a lot smoother, namely configinit.
Colin suggested back in May that weekly(ish) AMIs should be available soon, and indeed they are now coming! Glen Barber has announced their availability for 10-STABLE on the freebsd-snapshot mailing list on 2nd June and today. I can personally confirm that they work splendidly (at least in EU-West-1; haven't tested the other regions). If you are planning on using FreeBSD in AWS, you should subscribe to the freebsd-snapshot mailing list ASAP so that you won't miss the latest official snapshots. For the brave, 11-CURRENT snapshots are available as well (check the other posts on the mailing list).
Excellent news, and a big thanks to Colin, Glen and everybody else involved in making this happen!

Association of Northumberland Local History Societies
The Association was originally founded in 1966 as the Northumberland Local History Society with the remit of drawing together groups and individuals interested in the history of the historic county of Northumberland and encouraging and supporting the formation of local history societies in the county. It provided a publication to record items of local historical interest that might otherwise remain unpublished and meetings on historical topics of county-wide importance.
Registered Charity No.251179
Our aims are:
- to promote interest in the local history of the historic county of Northumberland
- to encourage the formation of new local history societies or groups in the historic county of Northumberland
- to encourage research and the recording of local history in the county
- to provide support and guidance to member societies
Our activities include:
- an annual One Day School held at a different location in the county each year and based on a local theme
- an annual Round the County Day hosted by a different member society each year
- a Members' Meeting in the spring of each year, usually held in St Nicholas's Church Hall, South Gosforth, with a talk on a topical theme of local interest followed by time for members to meet together and exchange ideas
- an AGM held in the autumn of each year when members receive an update on the previous year's activities and have the opportunity to hear a talk by a respected, high-quality speaker
We also publish an annual journal – 'Tyne & Tweed' – in the autumn of each year which is free to members.
Our organising body:
is an Executive Committee whose members are elected at the AGM. It administers the business and development of ANLHS in line with the needs of its members, organises the annual Programme of Events and produces our annual journal.
We actively support publication of members' research interests:
and members are encouraged to publish the results of their research interests either in book form or as an article in our annual journal 'Tyne and Tweed'.

Tech start-up based in Cambridge, Repositive, has introduced new features to its Cancer Models Platform, in response to feedback from the growing user base, which it will present during the Tumor Models Conference in Boston, Massachusetts between 16–18 July.
The start-up's PDX model sharing platform was initially created last year (2017) and was extended to become the broader Cancer Models Platform earlier this year (2018). The platform provides oncology researchers with a holistic, searchable, comparable view of existing cancer models, whilst providing contract research organisations (CROs) with a tool to market, manage and analyse their models.
"We have responded to feedback from early adopters, expanding the platform to incorporate a wider range of translational cancer models and related services, but also providing standardised metadata and molecular characteristics," explained Chris Taylor, product manager at Repositive. "This enables us to facilitate enhanced search and effective comparison of all available models — something which is not possible when researchers try to compare model data from other CROs using different metadata parameters.
"This challenge is one that academics have begun to resolve for publicly available data and one that we, at Repositive, have taken on in order to create a consensus for industry, too. This has the potential to revolutionise the process of discovering and accessing the best cancer models for research projects and, as our ambition is to enable better and faster discovery of treatments and cures through technological innovation, we were only too ready to take on this challenge."
"Our Cancer Models Platform eliminates one of the greatest barriers researchers face in discovering the best cancer models to make progress in drug discovery," stated Fiona Nielsen, founder and CEO of Repositive. "We are continually developing the platform based on feedback from our partners and we look forward to demonstrating its potential to visitors at the Tumor Models Conference in Boston, whilst gathering further information to help us to continue developing its usability.
"During our time in the US, we are also hosting a networking eventto bring together oncology researchers from across academia, biopharma and biotech, to discuss Model selection for immuno-oncology and combination therapies. All who have an interest in immuno-oncology and translational research are welcome to join us and we hope to see as many current and new contacts as possible in Boston."

Seldom has a game won as many hearts and accolades as the Assassin's Creed franchise. Set against a backdrop of action, history and adventure, this video game introduced us to Desmond Miles, who comes from a long line of assassins. Miles is a bartender who uses the 'Animus' to relive his ancestor's memories. His adventures, flights into the pasts of his relatives, and rescue missions form the bulk of this game.
With powerful names like Chronicles, Bloodlines, Discovery, Legacy, Brotherhood and Revelations you get a sense of what the game is all about. The creed believes in three simple rules- to never kill an innocent, to never draw attention to itself, and to never betray the brotherhood.
The third installment of the game is set for an end of October release. What we know is that the game has a new hero in the form of Connor Kenway, of British and Native American descent. We will delve into his mind and memories and travel with him to the Frontier of an old United States. The Frontier is on a large, grander scale, surpassing the massive Rome and Constantinople from Brotherhood and Revelations. We also believe that this game will be longer than its predecessor by about 20%.
Since the Creed series is known for its history, and its third full iteration is set during the Revolution, we will meet the likes of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington along the way. The game is known for its weapons, including the famous blade set that the assassins carry tucked into their arm bands. Don't forget all of the rad parkour action, and in AC3 we can expect more weapons like pistols, axes, tomahawks, bow and arrow, and a knife zip line in Assassin's Creed III. The vagaries of weather are also to be experienced with fog, rain and snow, which is much different than the previous entries in the series.
A point that must be made is about the gameplay. From the very beginning we have seen an open world platform, presented in a manner apart from the player. This gives for wider range of movement and the player has freedom to choose how he/she approaches their targets and objectives, since there is no correct way, or one way of doing things. We are now being promised a completely new version, down to the styles and animations. We will see Connor hunting, climbing trees, and swinging from branch to branch, a la Tarzan. He even has the ability to run through buildings now to make a quick escape. We are also seeing a thrilling nautical adventure that is creating a lot of buzz online.
Every gaming console, including the Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS has Assassin's Creed. You will also see it on Android and Windows Phones. You can even play the on the Mac OS X. Thus, the makers of the game, Ubisoft and Gameloft (for the handheld devices) have ensured that no one escapes the heart pounding ride the game offers.
So there is a lot going for Assassin's Creed III and fans of the franchise have much to look forward to. Come October, get ready to greet the creed.

Chapter 31. The Case of the Idiosyncratic Signature and the Indecipherable Monogram
One of the never-ending challenges I face with increasing frequency is that of decoding the identity of an artist who has signed their work with an illegible signature or indecipherable monogram.
One would think that artists, after spending many hours on a painting which they were proud of, would have no hesitation in signing their work using clearly written and easily legible penmanship. For example, Canadian artist Arthur Lidstone (1903-1986) usually signed his paintings in capital letters, first name followed by last name, ARTHUR LIDSTONE. Well done, Arthur.
Arthur Lidstone signature on paper
Arthur Lidstone signature on canvas
Artists signatures change over time due to perhaps physical or medical disability, age, indolence or arrogance. The medium in which the artist works also affects the readability of the signature. The brevity with which drawings are done on paper is usually reflected in an adumbrated signature, making it difficult to decipher. Artists do not consider a drawing to be of equal importance to a painting and therefore do not take the time to adequately render their moniker.
Generally, signatures on sculpture are almost always easily read, which may reflect the time commitment, effort and expense it takes to create a sculpture as compared to a painting. The longevity of a cast bronze statue for example, would suggest that the maker adequately reflects his identity by making a mark of permanent legibility.
Signatures of well-known artists tend not to change over time and are usually clearly rendered. The signature becomes somewhat of a trademark or monogram in that the artist makes a point of signing his work in the same way so as to replicate his trademark and to be permanently identified with it. It seems that as an artist becomes more well-known and collectible, their products are branded by using either an identifiable signature or monogram.
Then, we have artists who, for aesthetic reasons, do not sign their work on the front but prefer to sign on the back for fear of the signature compromising the artistic integrity of the image. I can understand this from an artistic point of view, however, when you are showing off your newly acquired masterpiece to impress guests, it would be a lot easier and less embarrassing to point to the signature on the front rather than taking the painting off the wall to search for the signature.
The artist who prefers to use only the first initial of his last name is also problematic. To me, this speaks of both audacity and timidity. Its similar to saying that if you can guess who did this great painting, I will admit to doing it. Alternatively, it says that if you consider this to be a great piece, I will graciously accept your praise and admit to doing it.
The use of one letter of the alphabet may be a way to develop a trademark for the benefit of an enlightened few, but it seems a bit redundant when the intent is to be readily identifiable to as many potential buyers as possible.

Rob Gronkowski returned to practice for the first time since injuring his right knee on Nov. 29th.
Gronkowski was wearing a protective sleeve/brace over his right knee.
Gronkowski missed Wednesday's full-pads practice, and he was held out of all practices last week.
When asked about Gronkowski, Tom Brady said Wednesday: "He's a great player. I always wish we'd have everyone, whether it's Jules [Julian Edelman] or Gronk. Different guys are dealing with different things. It's part of football season. You still have to be mentally tough to overcome whatever adversity you face and try to win a game. It may take on a little different form."

On Sunday night, Shakespeare By The Sea ended their 2018 season with a one-night-only event, The Unrehearsed Dream. The concept was simple: each cast member was given only their part, their lines, and no time to practice it as an ensemble. Going in, I figured that given the proven talent of the cast involved (you're welcome), this rendition of A Midsummer Night's Dream would be a pretty standard performance. Expectations were also high — the proof was in the insanely long lineup that ended up being the company's biggest turnout of the summer.
Watching the actors get ready, it was obvious everyone was given free rein in terms of how they wanted to present their characters onstage. Drew O'Hara's Lysander was in a leather jacket and looked more like Danny from Grease. Kathryn McCormack's Peter Quince was a spot-on impression of Liza Minnelli teaching a high school drama class. Then there was Peter Sarty's Demetrius, who sported a Richard III hunchback, a cane, top hat, and classic cartoon villain moustache. His exaggerated spindly-spidery limbs reminded me of Lemony Snicket's Count Olaf.
When the play started, it quickly (and kinda unexpectedly) became clear which actors knew their lines and which ones didn't. Jade Douris (my favourite Hermia to date) and Dan Bray (as a self-aggrandizing narcissistic Bottom) kept their scenes on the rails and scored major laughs in the process. Simon Rainville's sassy, horned Puck also seemed like a big fan favourite, and it was nice to see Shanoa Phillips (Titania) and Madeline Tench (Helena) get bigger roles to play with. On the opposite end of the memorization spectrum was Jeremy Hutton's Oberon, who (and I'm sure he'll agree) was a hot mess. His need for line calls went from charming to alarming pretty quickly. But aside from his inability to get Demetrius and Lysander's names straight, the slip-ups from him and the rest of his fellow cast kept the crowd laughing so hard, I'm pretty sure everyone left the show with six-pack abs. The energy was non-stop and infectious — it was obvious the actors were having just as much (if not more) fun than the audience.
I don't say this often about a lot of shows I see, but The Unrehearsed Dream was a million times funnier than I expected. There's little to no doubt in my mind that this will become a permanent fixture for SBTS in subsequent seasons to come. Also, judging from what I could tell from the younger people in last night's crowd, these unrehearsed outings can double as an effective way to inspire and entertain a new demographic of theatre-goers.
Dream could've easily been a gamble that didn't pay off; it could've been a train wreck, or worse, a one-time-nothing-special-flop. But when you have a cast with as much comedic pizzazz and affinity to Shakespeare as you do with this one, you're bound to have a surefire comedic smash.
Shakespeare By The Sea's 2018 25th anniversary season is over, but you can help support this gem of a local theatre company with a donation to their cause. Watch for announcements about the 2019 season on their Facebook or Twitter accounts.

Dear partners! Congratulations with a Happy New Year from Octoin! We are very grateful to you for being our followers! Nevermind the festive days, the Octoin Team keeps of making the upgrading and we have prepared for you a nice surprise!
As you all know, the release of cryptocurrency OctoinCoin was planned for May 2018. But the great interest from the large number of investors as well as gathered investments have allowed to complete the cryptocurrency development much earlier! We are happy to announce that OctoinCoin release will happen already in January 2018!
Each stage of development required many meetings and discussions, consultancies with the TOP Leaders of Octoin. We tried to take care of each characteristic of the new future cryptocurrency. This helped the management to plan local developments for different counties and to forecast the number of new users in the future, who will also be part of our community!
Now here are the details! Cryptocurrency OctoinCoin is developed with the algorithm Proof of Stake. The majority of cryptocurrencies choose algorithm of consensus Proof of Stake (PoS) for its security and mining opportunity. Also, the main advantage of PoS is the protection from a possible attack of 51%, the mining is possible without any special equipment. Moreover, the energy costs are substantially lower, comparing to PoW (Proof-of-Work algorithm).
Another characteristic of Proof of Stake is that instead of using the large computing powers for the successful cryptocurrency mining, it is enough for the user to have a large share in the system itself. The received profit is in direct proportion to the share size. The mining system is created in such a way that the most loyal users are getting reward from the network. The code of cryptocurrency OctoinCoin is already having inside the integrated algorithms of Segwit and Lighting Network.
The rapid interest of investors all over the world and the perspective of entrance to the outside exchangers (which will happen very soon!) - all these factors tend to forecast that OctoinCoin will repeat the destiny of Bitcoin.
In the New Year OctoinCoin is with you!

What makes or breaks the perfect day skiing in the mountains? Boot fit. We've all experienced the dreaded pain of a bad fit and poor performance. Fischer Vacuum Fit is here to help!
VACUUM FULL FIT enables a complete fitting of the shell through VACUUM 2Zone for maximum individuality and optimum fit. In Fischer's VACUUM FULL FIT process, the shell is heated to 80°C before you step inside the shell with the boot liner. The Cooling and Compression Pad is put on and the standing position is fixed. Fischer has developed the VACUUM Station especially for this purpose. It is the heart of the fitting process. Compressed air is used to shape the entire boot ideally to match your foot.
A Fischer High Tech Polymer is being used for the first time for the Fischer Vacuum boots. It has been developed exclusively for the ski boot sector and stands out through superior material properties.
• Thermoformable at 80°C with Fischer VACUUM FIT process
• Less weight (-15 %)
• Vibration damping better than conventional PU
• Temperature stability from +20° to -20° twice as high as with conventional PU
• Adaptive last: the shell adapts automatically to the foot by up to +/- 5 mm according to foot width.
• Adjustable Forward Lean: the forward lean of the boot can be adapted from 14°-17° according to skiing ability.

The contemporary definition of cinema is the art of simulating experiences, that communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty or atmosphere by the means of recorded or programmed moving images along with other sensory stimulations. (http://en.wikipedia.org/)
What this is basically saying is a film is suppose to relate a message that activates your senses. To just film a person with another, but no relative message is not portraying a film. Picture a camera circling a person, but the person is just smiling or a camera focusing on two people but it isn't showing how they feel or how something gets solved, that is not a film.
Machinima is film made with games so the same rule applies. If you see your machinima not following these guidelines, then it is not actually machinima. Machinima is an art form just like film as to where it entices the emotions and convey messages.
I hope this helps those who wanted to know what makes a film or machinima.

About NORDEN Festival
Join us in the North!
Schleswig-Holstein is the gateway to the North, not only economically, but also culturally. In late summer we will dedicate three weekends to the abundance of cultural genres from the Baltic Sea's neighboring countries.
Craftspeople, designers, and caterers will present themselves in a Scandinavian-looking village with its original and typical red-and-white cottages. An eclectic program of literature and music will be expanded by an open-air cinema and unique street theater performances. NORDEN is a sustainable festival that has a lot to offer - a beach, water, a sauna, workshops, and physical activities such as stand-up paddling, archery, climbing, and bathing. NORDEN provides its audience with active experiences, cultural diversity, and gastronomic delicacies from Schleswig-Holstein and other Nordic countries - a relaxing getaway of a special kind.
Our Schlei-Stage will host international bands and musicians, ranging from pop to rock and folk.
Quiet singer-songwriter sets can be enjoyed in front of our Garden Stage at sunset. Let your Nordic evening fade out with a cool drink in hand.
The Culture Tent is our location for exciting readings, the NORDEN Slam and international cinema.
The Street Theater Deck and its reckless artists will be visible from a distance - the perfect location to dwell and marvel at the performances.
In the Atelier and the Werkstatt you can live out your creativity!
The Green Pavilion shows you great ideas and provides information about sustainability.
Our participating catering companies are all based in Schleswig-Holstein and will spoil you with specialties from the region. The menu ranges from Nordic pancakes through to Auerochsenburger in organic quality.
Most of the drinks will be available in organic quality. URSTROM Pils (organic) on tap or from the bottle, organic wines from Rindchens Weinkontor, organic spritzers and Kola from Fritz Kola, and regional coffee specialities from Holstein Kaffee from Neumünster.

At our food booths, we refrain from using one-way plastic cutlery and drinks will be offered as part of a reusable cup pledge system. Our food booth contributors are exhorted to separate their waste and use eco-friendly detergents.

Step into a world where today we are already thinking about tomorrow: the green pavilion at the most central point of the festival deals with a central theme of our society. We already dealt with the topics of plastic and our waste, as well as energy and mobility.

I'm really sick today. So Enzo said he would jump in and give entrepreneurs 3 tips. He decided to focus on Fortnite and what he's saying in general is that business owners should look at other wildly trending and successful companies for ideas on what they can be doing to improve their business strategy.
Fortnite is an online video game first released in 2017 and developed by Epic Games. It is available as separate software packages having different game modes that otherwise share the same general gameplay and game engine.
Forbes reported that Fortnite brought in $126 million in February, $223 million in March and $296 million in April. The company has so much cash that it's forming a $100 million prize fund for upcoming Fortnite competitions.
Enzo's tips around Fortnite:
Enzo spent some of his birthday money on a better costume, on V-bucks which is a very big deal because he's never been allowed to buy anything on video games before.
3. How can you create a community around your brand. Fortnite has created a model, where you can't survive the game without help from a "tribe or clan". And if you violate the rules of the clan, I've seen people get kicked out. Enzo looks forward to meeting up with his online friends from across Canada on the weekends and has created a bond with them.
There you go. Tips from the mini-Spartan.
Now think about how you can:
Dafne's expertise lies in creating strategic roadmaps for companies to grow their business through unique marketing approaches. Her company, Spartan Spark, works with million dollar companies, advising them on how to grow their business by using strategy and technology more effectively.
Through articles, vlogs, training and speaking engagements, Dafne shares her marketing knowledge, showing business owners how to leverage all the knowledge they have and use technology to their advantage to increase visibility and lower their cost of acquisition.

Thabo Mbeki, the former President of the Republic of South Africa and Chairperson of the African Union high level implementation panel for Sudan, in commemoration of the 121st Anniversary of the Battle of Adwa at Addis Ababa University, Ras Mekonnen Hall on March 4, 2017, spoke of "Ethiopianism" as a symbol of resistance to injustice and colonialism.
"Today's commemoration is confirmation of the truth our continent has known for over a century that the great victory of Ethiopia in 1896 at the Battle of Adwa was indeed both an Ethiopian and an African victory, corroborating the high regard in which Africans across the continent and the African Diaspora in general hold Ethiopia as well as the inspiration they draw from the existence of a sovereign African State which has existed for millennia," Mbeki said.
In his opening remarks, Director of Office of the External Relations, Partnerships and Communication of the AAU, Zenebe Beyene (Ph.D.) noted that this year's celebration was unique as it was being held in the presence of a living legend of South Africa's fight for freedom against apartheid, Thabo Mbeki.
Stating the importance of the victory of Adwa to all Africans, Mbeki said that the victory at Adwa helped all Africans undermine the arrogant feeling of superiority of the colonial powers and nations, strengthening the resolve and confidence of the African oppressed.
"Through the victory at Adwa Ethiopia taught all Africans the critical importance of national unity in the struggle against the colonial enemy," Thabo Mbeki added.
Themed the Battle of Adwa: a symbol of African resistance to injustice and colonialism, the event was organized by Addis Ababa University and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
In attendants were government officials including Negeri Lecho (Ph.D.), Minister of Government Communication Affairs and Hirut W/Mariam, Minister of Culture and Tourism.
