Seven things your Software as a Service (SaaS) provider should be doing to secure your data in the cloud
Strong security practices must be the number one priority for any cloud solution vendor you choose. Without that commitment, there's a good chance your data will be at risk.
So how do you know if the SaaS (software as a service) provider you're using or considering choosing has the right security protocols in place to ensure your valuable information is protected? We've compiled a list of the top seven security practices any vendor should be using to ensure they're meeting their obligations to your security.
1. Penetration Testing
Penetration testing assesses how easy or difficult it is to hack into a system. This method uses what's known in the industry as a White Hat Hacker. White Hat Hackers are ethical computer hackers or computer security experts specializing in testing methodologies to ensure the security of information systems. Their job is to make sure a malevolent hacker can't access your data, hijack other user accounts or redirect your users to bogus sites, even if they have an actual username and password.
2. Vulnerability Testing
Sometimes confused with Penetration Testing, Vulnerability Testing is an automated process that regularly scans a server to determine if there are any loopholes in the system. It's an in-depth evaluation that identifies weaknesses and recommends appropriate mitigation procedures.
3. Single Tenant Hosting Option
While hosting in a multi-tenant environment like the cloud is secure, you may be in an industry - such as banking - where a dedicated server is required or desired for an extra level of security. A reputable SaaS provider should be able to offer an option to have your data hosted on your own separate, dedicated server.
4. Disaster Recovery Process (DRP)
Your organization likely has its own DRP for ensuring the continuation of business and recovery of services and information following either a natural or man-made disaster. Your SaaS provider should have one as well. Ideally they should be duplicating your data every evening and storing it in an off-premise location that is well away from the location of the main data storage facility.
5. Authentication Policies
This process is what your organization uses to ensure that whomever attempts to login to your system is who they say they are. Regardless of how stringent or complex your authentication processes are, your cloud provider should be able to match those processes and provide the same level of security.
6. Back-End Management
Back-end management is a shared responsibility between the vendor and you. There are two aspects to consider:
- Security of the Cloud are the security measures that your cloud service provider implements.
- Security in the Cloud are the measures you implement to safeguard your applications and their data.
To help our own clients understand this concept better, SmartSimple created a page about Security as a Shared Responsibility.
7. Data Security
Your vendor should make sure that all data is encrypted while it is "at rest", "in motion" and at the "end point":
- At Rest refers to where the data is stored, meaning the server hard disk.
- At Motion refers to the transfer of data from the server to the client's browser.
- End Point means data is properly encrypted and cannot be stored on local hard disks or copied to portable storage devices such as USB keys.
Vendor Transparency on System Security
Any reputable cloud vendor should also be completely open and honest with you about the processes they have in place to ensure your data security. For example, at SmartSimple, our security measures include:
- Weekly scans for vulnerabilities weekly through our security partner, NetCraft.
- Reputable third party testing partners scrutinize our systems on an ongoing basis to ensure no one can hack your data.
- All our hard disks are encrypted with AES 256 – the industry standard algorithm.
- Data in motion is encrypted using HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) transfer protocols combined with TLS (Transport Layer Security) ciphers to ensure the highest security when transferring data.
- Our standing as an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Advanced Technology Partner, means our clients inherit the best practices of one of the most secure and widely used data environments.
- Our backups are stored in secondary locations at least 400 km from our main data locations for extra security in the case of natural disasters.
- SmartSimple will meet any security policies required by our clients.
If you'd like more information about how SmartSimple secures your grants management, research management or case management data, feel free to contact us by email or give us a call toll free at 1.866.239.0991.

Shared Street And Sidewalk Improvements
Providers must have a written plan for continuous improvement that explains how the provider will met its obligations in relation to the service and the standards. CANARYVILLE — A new concession stand is just one of the improvements coming to the Canaryville Little League ballpark this summer. Depending on the results achieved in the initial stages of the plans implementation and feedback received from stakeholders, improvements could (and should) be made on a continual basis.
The improvements in the process, which are often times small changes to lower levels of the process, will improve the process without disrupting it. The two are related and co-exist when innovation is present. Maintain, review, evaluate and audit the effectiveness of the Quality Management System, ensuring on its CA/PA for continual improvements.
Nowadays there seems to be no new appliances, only improvements in the ones that we already have. Compare what you've learned here to future articles so that you can stay alert to changes in the area of improvements. Home Improvement Loan Scheme – financial assistance to help homeowners make improvements to their properties to meet the national Decent Homes Standard.
In this example a retail organization believes its own customers hold the key to identifying improvements needed in the current products and in identifying new product opportunities. Sometimes a golf project must include improvements that are necessary, but not understood nor supported by members.
The first level is to use the money to make needed repairs, upgrades or improvements by choosing projects such as repairing or replacing the roof, upgrading the windows or having the house repainted. The good news though is the fact that existing solar panel technology has advanced radically to the point where the use of cells called photovoltaic have been developed.

I Do Believe in Science.
Not, necessarily, in what Science defines as "truth" in any given moment, because that is as changeable as the rest of the Universe.
I believe in the Process; the search, according to the best-formulated rules for avoiding error (currently represented by scientific method).
It is no accident that the practice of Science is largely indistinguishable from the practice of aesthetics; a lot of hard, self-disciplined, often drearily repetitive work in the quest for something new and significant. Only the specific techniques differ.
Both of these best of human endeavors make use of the best -- and least manageable -- elements of human "nature;" our curiosity and our drive for new experience --novelty. Creativity is the final element and it is frustratingly deficient in most of us.
Why do so many intelligent people engage in "extreme" sports or voluntarily undertake life-threatening challenges? I believe they are as driven toward novelty as Picasso or Proust or Pasteur, but they don't have any particular aesthetic (or scientific) talent.
Is it revealing that when Hemingway, at only about 60, realized that he couldn't do it any more (or imagined he couldn't, which is the same thing), he checked out with a shotgun?

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 - The violence in Iraq after the bombing of a Shiite mosque this week has abruptly thrown the Bush administration on the defensive, and there were signs on Thursday that American officials recognized new perils to their plans to withdraw troops this year. The American enterprise in Iraq seemed beleaguered on two fronts, political and military.
Senior administration officials in Washington and Baghdad said the next few days would test American and Iraqi resolve, as the United States military, despite pressure to intervene and facing angry accusations that it stood by while Iraq erupted in revenge killings, holds back to see if Iraqis can quell violence by themselves. An unusual daytime curfew in Baghdad scheduled for Friday Prayer could help, the officials said.
Iraqis and some American officials also said the Bush administration might have to rethink its political strategy in Baghdad.
The American ambassador, Zalmay Khalilzad, has reached out to Sunnis, pushing to include them in the government and pressing Shiite leaders hard to keep politicians with ties to Shiite militias out of sensitive security posts. Sunnis have accused these Shiite leaders of running death squads. But Mr. Khalilzad's stance has infuriated Shiites.
Mr. Khalilzad said Monday that the United States would not "invest the resources of the American people" in Iraqi security forces if they were "run by people who are sectarian." The comment provoked unusually direct criticism from Shiite leaders, some of whom suggested that maligning the Iraqi security leadership led to the attack on the mosque in Samarra on Wednesday.
Because sensitive negotiations are continuing and because officials fear that American comments could further inflame a volatile situation, few officials interviewed here or in Baghdad would be quoted by name.
For the moment, American officials said they doubted that Mr. Khalilzad would change course. They said the Americans were pressing Iraqi leaders not to go forward with political negotiations without Sunni participation.
Since the major Sunni party has suspended its participation in the talks, officials hope waiting a few days may allow tensions to recede.
Iraqi security forces were unable -- or, Sunni leaders suggested, unwilling -- to quell the violence after the bombing. In many cases, the American military was either not present or not able to stop Shiite mobs exacting revenge killings across Iraq.
Military officials said the Pentagon was in effect watching and waiting to see what the next 48 hours would bring before deciding on whether a more visible American presence might be needed -- in effect, sending American forces back into areas that they had turned over to the Iraqis.
A senior official said there was no thought being given now to changing the "trajectory" of pulling American forces back and eventually withdrawing part of them this year.
But other administration officials said expanding the American presence might be necessary to contain the violence, partly because despite strenuous efforts, the Iraqi armed forces are still divided along sectarian lines. In particular, Iraqi Sunnis see Shiite-dominated troops as part of the problem, not the solution.
"Just in the last 36-hour period, Sunni Arabs who were urging us to withdraw forces from cities like Baghdad are now urging us to stay," a senior American official said. "I don't know if the American military is reconsidering its posture, but I can tell you that the Iraqis are reconsidering."
Top aides at the White House, the Pentagon and the State Department all expressed the hope that the new violence did not portend civil war in Iraq. They found it in evidence that all sides were appealing for restraint, even the firebrand Moktada al-Sadr in Baghdad.
"Rather than see a collapse or a setback, I think in some ways, you can see an affirmation that the approach we've been taking has worked," said Adam Ereli, a State Department spokesman. "You've got political leadership acting together on behalf of the common good, and you've got security forces demonstrating that capability and a responsibility as a national entity that we've been working to develop and that has now been put to the test and, I think, is proving successful."
Despite optimistic official comments, the possibility of violent breakdown loomed large. One official called the bombing "an event that brings us to the precipice -- you can see the chasm below that could mean a descent into civil war and everyone is taking a deep breath."
In Baghdad and among some experts, there were questions about how much Mr. Khalilzad's influence could help broker a political solution given the anger between Shiites and Sunnis, and the Shiite anger at Mr. Khalilzad himself.
A high-ranking Shiite official said some of the Sunnis Mr. Khalilzad wanted to bring into the government were Baathists and former members of Saddam Hussein's government.
"The situation is very, very, very bad," said Reuel Marc Gerecht, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute who supports the American efforts in Iraq. "The bombing has completely demolished what Zalmay was trying to do to get certain Sunnis into the interior and defense ministries."
A statement by Abdul Aziz al-Hakim charging that Mr. Khalilzad's comments on Monday had helped to provoke the bombing were a particularly ominous sign. But American officials said Mr. Khalilzad was unlikely to give up his demands.
"It's important for the Shia leadership to understand our concerns," an American official said. "We're still in conversations with Hakim, and they are unhappy with the ambassador's remarks."
Mr. Khalilzad has gained great popularity among Iraqis, especially among Sunnis, said Saleh Mutlak, a hard-line Sunni Arab member of the new Parliament. He said even the resistance was pleased with his comments about Shiite abuses.
But Mr. Mutlak added that Sunni leaders felt betrayed that American soldiers did not stop the marauding Shiite militiamen on Wednesday, an approach reminiscent of their inaction in the face of looting after the fall of Baghdad in April 2003.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Analysts at J.P. Morgan on Tuesday upgraded homebuilders Lennar Corp. and Standard Pacific Corp. but downgraded Toll Brothers Inc.
As revised, J.P. Morgan now rates both Lennar LEN, -0.94% LEN.B, -1.21% and Standard Pacific SPF, +0.00% as neutral, up from underweight previously, and pegs Toll at underweight, down from a prior rating of overweight.
The moves comes a day after JMP Securities downgraded Standard Pacific and KB Home KBH, -1.98% to market outperform from strong buy and reduced its target prices on the stocks. See story.
Based on the preliminary quarterly sales figures the two homebuilders reported, JMP said it was prudent to adjust its estimates, assuming the companies will also see some of the softening reflected in their orders in coming quarters.
JMP's analysts said the sector "may face some margin pressure in the second half of 2006 as pricing power decelerates and the use of incentives picks up."
Standard-Pacific and KB Home are exposed in areas where the firm sees slower home sales: Northern California, Phoenix and Florida, JMP said.
However, J.P. Morgan said in a research note that 2006 earnings estimates from Lennar and Standard Pacific appear too conservative.
On the downside, order growth is showing signs of turning negative at Toll TOL, -1.49%, raising prospects for below-average earnings this year, according to J.P. Morgan.

Changes to the 2007 Constitution, in relation to election eligibility of persons in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), must be discussed with the people of the territory before any efforts are made to have amendments to the Constitution. This is the position of Hon. Ronnie Skelton—who will be seeking to lead the territory in the next election.
According to the 2007 Constitution, a person seeking election into the House of Assembly (HoA) must be a Virgin Islander of the age of twenty-one years or above.
To qualify as a 'Virgin Islander' in this case, a person must belong to the Virgin Islands by birth of a father or mother, who at the time of the birth belonged to the Virgin Islands by birth or descent; or born outside the Virgin Islands of a father or mother who at the time of the birth belonged to the Virgin Islands by birth or descent.
There is also a clause which states that, "A person born outside the Virgin Islands, who belongs to the Virgin Islands by descent, shall not be qualified to be elected as a member of the House of Assembly unless one of his or her grandparents belonged to the Virgin Islands by birth."
According to Hon. Skelton—who was a member of the Constitutional Review Committee, this issue is a complicated one that would require public consultations before any changes are considered.
"The issue of who is eligible to run for political office in any country is governed by the Constitution," he reminded.
He went on to say that there are over 110 different nationalities living in the BVI.
"Some of the elements of the Constitution, it wasn't just a government doing it. The government, yes, they headed and had it done, but the people of this country felt that this was important in order to preserve their history, their culture, their support and so on."
These requirements, he stated, were birthed out of a need by the people for the elected representatives to be familiar with the culture and history of the territory.
"They say your grandparents need to be here so it gives you some level of grounding in our culture and our customs," he stated, pointing to what is referred to as 'the grandfather clause.'
If he is to be elected into office and sit as Premier, Hon. Skelton said that making changes to this constitution "is not a Ronnie Skelton decision...that is a country decision."
He further stated, "It is not as simple as we are taking it to be…it needs proper discussion."
Hon. Skelton also reminded that a Constitutional Review is overdue since the ten-year deadline was up in 2017, but this was delayed by Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
It should be noted that the 2007 Constitution also withholds belonger status from children born in the BVI to expat parents. As a result, there is a category of stateless individuals who have to reside in the territory for 18 years before seeking to regularize themselves.
In the territory, many adult expats, who form the majority of the BVI's workforce, also have no voting rights and access to land because they don't have belonger status.
There have been questions over Chairman of the National Democratic Party (NDP), Hon. Myron Walwyn's eligibility to run for office because he was born to immigrant parents. There were even plans by some to challenge his eligibility in court, despite the fact that he was born and raised in the territory, and later regularized.
Hon. Walwyn had even recently admitted that he faces discrimination within his party as a result of this issue.
Back in 2017, the government—which Skelton was part of at the time—had announced it will be reviewing its policies on residency and belongership in the first quarter of 2018. This has not yet been done.
This commitment was made after government took note of deficiencies in policies related to residency and belongership.
Back in 2016, a United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) report alleged that the BVI's laws are set up in a way to abuse and exclude expatriates and their children.

Virgin IslandsWe MUST keep the Virgin Islands history and culture!!! We can not let others dictate our Country! Just like in the US, where Trump is trying to keep it from being overtaken by others, We MUST do the same. If not, we will be like St. Thomas, or Jamaica, or any other island. We are too small to allow outside interest to vote and we lose our land and heritage. What would H.L. Stoutt do? What would Theodolph Faulkner do? Virgin Islands for Virgin Islanders!!!! PLEASE for the sake our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren! What will we leave them???
Talk Fact Not DirtFunny, I recall stories of the same VIP administration under HL Stoutt selling out the land to foreigners. Look at who own our outer islands. It is not locals. Yes TRUMP is trying make American great again but his party members did not desert him no matter how deranged he seem to be by others. so yes WE can certainly take a page out of his playbook. So who allowed us to lose our CULTURE. As I see it, it was the Cultural Minister who gave us a national song and a national dress to call our own. Come on man. Give Jack his jacket and stop this nonsense. Thank God we have more intelligent people living in our society who can see and think for themselves. Only the foolish will buy into this so called "Keep our Culture Alive" farce.
Not AgainSo where you going with this again Mr. Skelton. That dog has been beaten to death. It was already established that an amendment was made to include those persons who were already in the Government. (ie Walwyn, Archie, Mark). When you done, you and your newly formed party want to accuse others of being devisive?
No one is denying you of your right to represent the people of the VI, but please understand that we have become a melting pot society and need someone who is for ALL not some, who call the VIRGIN ISLANDS home. They too want to see the best for our HOME, otherwise they would have left. I am married to someone whose parents were not borned here (need I add like some in your own party) and it hurts me to see how we so irresponsibly cause a divide.
I beg you fix this thing or you will all pay at the polls. The talk, if you are listening to the PEOPLE, is that we are tired of this type of politicking. We want to hear your plans for the future.

An old iron bed from a yard sale, thrift store, flea market or the attic is a great find. Such beds are heavy and well-made, and will provide many more years of enjoyment. Unfortunately, unless the bed has been regularly maintained it is likely to have rust and other dirt that you will need to remove. The investment in cleaning an old iron bed is minimal, since household items such as vinegar and lemons, and a mild detergent are all that is necessary to clean up an old iron bed.
Step 1
Wipe down the entire bed with a rag moistened in a gentle cleanser to remove dust, dirt and debris. Removing surface dirt will help isolate any rusty areas that need additional cleaning.
Step 2
Rinse the bed by wiping it down with a clean damp rag.
Step 3
Dry the bed with a clean, soft rag.
Step 4
Brush away as much rust as possible with a steel wire brush.
Step 5
Apply vinegar or lemon juice to the rust, saturating the area completely.
Step 6
Wait at least 10 minutes for the vinegar or lemon juice to penetrate and soften the rust.
Step 7
Scrub the rust away with steel wool, taking care not to scratch any brass or painted accessories.
Step 8
Wipe the area clean with a damp rag. Remove as much loosened rust as possible.
Step 9
Apply more vinegar or lemon juice to any remaining rust, and wait 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 10
Scrub the rusted area again with steel wool.
Step 11
Wipe the area clean.
Step 12
Sand away any remaining rust spots with medium grit sandpaper.
Step 13
Wipe away all remaining rust debris and sandpaper residue with a clean damp rag.
Step 14
Dry the bed thoroughly with a clean, soft rag.

Walk though a demo of setting up a classification policy in Azure and attaching protection to labels.
- Azure Information Protection is configured in the Azure portal, like all the other services that we've looked at so far. You'll just add the Azure Information Protection item to your toolbar on the left, or pin it to your dashboard. On the screen, I have the Azure Information Protection configuration page that we're going to go ahead and go through. Everything we do in Azure Information Protection is going to be done with a policy. We can either have a global policy that applies to all our users, or we can have one or more scoped policies that only applies to certain users. This is useful if you need people in different departments or different parts of the company, to have different labels and different policies that apply to them.
What we'll do, is we'll configure the global policy. The policy is comprised of a couple of different things. Primarily, it's comprised of different labels. The labels that you see here correspond to the labels that were on the screen earlier when we applied protection and labeling to our documents. You notice that the labels here are defined in a specific order. They have their names, they have colors, and they have a hierarchy. This is mirrored exactly in the Office applications that use the AIP client.
If we take a look at the Private label, which we used to apply protection earlier, we'll see about the name and the description, which is shown in the client applications, as well as the color of the label as it shows up on the toolbar. The color that you could apply often corresponds to the sensitivity of the document, so you can provide a visual cue to the end-user, as to which label that they're supposed to choose. That covers the classification, but then there's the permissions that are applied to protecting the document. 'Cause this is private, we've chosen to automatically protect the document.
And to do that, we click Protect, and then configure protection. We can either do this based on users and groups, or we can do it on a more granular level. This one's configured to have everybody in our tenant have access. Although typically, you would add distribution lists, or other groups of people, perhaps all of your employees would have the ability to edit and print the document, but your contractors would only be able to view it. You can also configure content to expire so that after a certain number of days, it simply can't be opened anymore. And then finally, you can allow offline access.
The first time you access a document on a specific machine, you'll get a license to access that document, and you get to say how long that license is good for before the user needs to connect again. This can be useful if you open the document and then you get on an airplane, for example, and you don't have internet access, but still want to continue to work with the document. By default, that defaults to seven days, where you can access the document offline before you'll need to check in again. The visual markings like the header, the footer, and the watermark, are also configured here.
As you might recall, we applied that H-Plus Private watermark, which is configured here. And you can configure things like the font, size, and color, and so forth, as necessary. Finally, one thing that we didn't demonstrate that can be really useful here, is you can also automatically apply labels. For example, you could define a condition that says, any time the document includes the word, private, we'll automatically apply the Private label.
This can be really useful, especially if you use the built-in Information Types and you look for things like a driver's license number or a Social Security number, or another pattern, to automatically apply classifications in protection to meet your compliance needs. Once you've configured your labels, you'll save the policy, then the policy becomes effective as soon as you publish it. You should know that people's machines cache these policies so they won't update it in real-time, but it might take several days before their machine gets the update.

Please note the fifth part of an essay at POLITICS .
The Tea Turned Cold in the Cup,
or, Why Women's Work is No Work
When we read that many millions of young children in developing countries have to toil for their living, we are outraged; and when we learn that teenage boys often continue in forced labour while girls are usually forced into marriage, our outrage increases. However, we officially stop counting the child brides as child workers – because they 'only' do chores in their 'own' homes.
This policy of the International Labour Organization has been branded 'insulting' and 'nonsensical' by campaigner Stephen Lewis. We have learned to identify child marriage as child abuse; yet we have failed to identify domestic chores as child labour.
When we hear that in many regions of the world, girls must walk for hours to fetch water or firewood, so that they arrive at school late or exhausted, we do not fool ourselves for a moment about their 'equal opportunities', even where those are granted by law or where schooling is free.
A towering achievement:
Sauerkraut with pork and mashed potatoes.

New London, Conn. – The Albertus Magnus College women's volleyball team dropped a 3-0 decision on the road versus in-state rival Mitchell on Thursday evening at Yarnall Gymnasium in non-conference action. For the second straight year, the Mariners swept the season series with the Falcons, taking today's contest, 25-17, 25-19, 25-17.
The Mitchell offensive attack was spearheaded by junior Myia Williams (Roselle, N.J.) who led the Mariners with eight kills. Senior captain Amanda Rowan (Sandy Hook, Conn.) was close behind with seven kills for the Mariners while junior Janelle Rice (Meriden, Conn.) had a game-high 20 assists to go along with two service aces.
On the defensive side of the game sophomore libero Colby Zitoli (Walpole, Mass.) had a game-high 15 digs, while AMC's Ashley David (West Islip, N.Y.) led the team with 11 digs. Junior Italia Krick (Griswold, Conn.) and Williams each picked up seven digs apiece for the Mariners, while Falcons freshman Jesselle Guzman (Santa Teresa, N.M.) chipped in with eight digs herself.
Falcon junior Ana Gomez (New Haven, Conn.) had a game-high 10 kills to go along with six digs and a block solo. Senior outside hitter Amber Cohens (Hamden, Conn.) and David chipped in with four kills and three kills to help on the offensive end for the guests. Junior setter Marielis Muriel (New Haven, Conn.) led the Falcons with 17 assists and three service aces which was also a game high.
In the first set of the night the Mariners were clinging to a one-point lead until Rice stepped up to serve and helped the Mariners close out the Falcons after five straight points that included two service aces. In the beginning of the second set the Falcons jumped out to a 9-3 advantage led by Muriel, who served the Falcons to six consecutive points with three service aces scattered in. Mitchell countered with four points won with Williams serving and three more immediately followed by Megan Elphick (Waterford, Conn.) which tied the score at 12 and helped pace the Mariners to a second set victory.
In the final set the Mariners had their most kills (9) and fewest errors (4) in any set of the night.
Albertus Magnus returns to action tomorrow, Friday, September 23, with a home Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) showdown versus Norwich inside the Nest. Last autumn, the Falcons topped the Cadets on the road.

Both young and ageing couples are constantly in pursuit of better sex. This does not mean that they have bad sex lives. It simply means they are always looking for fresh ideas on how to make the experience better and more thrilling. There are many factors that contribute to low sex drive or poor sex life among partners. However, most cases can be resolved through dialogue and exploring new exciting habits that inspire great sex. Here are some of the main ways you can work towards a better sex life.
Sometimes, you are not having great sex because of ignorance or lack of information about sex. Therefore, if you feel like your sex life is taking a dip, conduct a little research on the problems. There are credible materials that are available online and at the local bookstores. Use the information in these materials to make the necessary improvements in your sex life. You can either study the materials and share with your partner or study them together.
Take Time to Make Love
It is normal that as people grow old, they become less responsive sexually. One of the ways to enhance the response is through finding a more arousing environment for sex. Sometimes, physical changes can make the body take longer to get stimulated or attain orgasm. Just like older escorts with experience do, take time to generate passion. This will unlock the gateways to new experiences and greater sexual fulfillment.

Shoe Box Distribution 2019
One of the highlights in the Mercy in Action diary is the Christmas container to the Philippines. In 20 years we've never had a serious problem with either our paperwork or our shipping company and for that I'm immensely grateful. It always goes pretty much according to plan; except this time. We still don't know quite what went wrong but went wrong it did
Promised and estimated dates of arrival came and went, and with each one the hope of handing out hundreds of lovingly packed shoeboxes in time for Christmas diminished. Eventually 'plan B' came into action and the Cebu staff and volunteers were dispatched to the busy malls to buy more gifts which were purchased and wrapped faster than you can say Jack Frost.
The Christmas parties went ahead and everyone had presents to take home, but of course they knew that the ones they really were looking forward to were stuck somewhere between Singapore, Hong Kong and Manila, depending on who you believed.
Eventually though the container boat docked in Cebu and a few days later the cargo was delivered and unpacked. Fast forward a few days more and John and I also found ourselves back in Cebu. Santa may have been taking a well earned vacation but his trusty helpers were checking lists over and over to make sure every one of the 425 children on our schooling programme as well as hundreds more throughout Cebu and Bohol would get their belated gifts.
By the weekend we were ready and over two mornings the children, each dressed in their Sunday best, gathered for their second Christmas. The winners of the talent shows performed their acts again, songs were sung and food was eaten.
The moment they had waited patiently for had arrived and I had the joyous task of handing over every box. The excitement in the room mounted as name after name was called, oohs and ahs as some children received huge boxes ; we always say our sponsors have the biggest feet ever! It's worth mentioning that there is no envy apparent over size of the box. They all know that the families will share the contents with their wider family and neighbours.
Each child took their parcel back to their seat and rattled and poked it but none were opened until the word was given. They waited patiently until each box was with its owner…..
…..a last minute panic while misplaced boxes were located after being put in the wrong pile, and then a frenzy of unwrapping.
Words don't do justice to the joy expressed on every face. Each card read, items carefully removed and examined, tins of corned beef exclaimed over. Novelty pencils shown to each other, sweets unwrapped and eaten and a buzz of laughter and chatting. So much joy over items we take for granted. Then it all got packed again to take home and reopen with all the family. The boxes lifted high onto their shoulders they made their way out to the gates where mum or dad was waiting to take them home.
Yes, Christmas came late, but in the end it didn't matter. All knew they'd been remembered and that somewhere, 7,000 miles away, someone had packed a box with love, and the love hadn't spoiled in the waiting.

The biggest game of the entire year for 6 is finally here. The Kirtland Hornets take on the Marion Local Flyers in what will likely be a heated battle as the Flyers come into the game projected to pull out the close win by a score of 26-20. It's do or die for each team as always in the postseason. Regardless of the outcome, each team can take comfort in the fact that they had a successful enough season to get here, but only one team will be satisfied with the result as the other's season will end on a loss. The Flyers, one of the top teams in Division 6, come into the game ranked 1st. The Hornets come in ranked 2nd. Having matched up in 2017, there is a degree of familiarity between the two. Last year, the Flyers got the better of the Hornets, winning by a score of 34-11.
Looking to build upon their 4-game winning streak, Marion Local comes into the week at 13-1. After their 34-6 win against the Seneca East Tigers, they are confident in their ability to finish strong. The Flyers have boasted one of Division 6's best offenses all season, averaging 39.1 points per game, which ranks 7th. In their last 4 games, they've been even better, scoring 40.5 points per game. On defense, their last few weeks haven't even done justice to how good they've been all season. They've given up 15 points per game over their last 5, down from their average of 11.2, which ranks 8th in their division on the season.
Kirtland will look to continue the momentum of their 14-game winning streak, the most recent addition to which was a 35-18 win against the Fort Frye Cadets last week, bringing their record to 14-0. The Hornets rank 6th in Division 6 on offense, scoring an average of 39.9. However, over the last 2 weeks, their average is down to 27.5 points per game. On defense, their last few weeks haven't even done justice to how good they've been all season. They've given up 16 points per game over their last 2, down from their average of 4.6, which ranks 1st in their division on the season.
Prediction: Marion Local to win (76.48% chance of victory)

It's not on sale anymore, but you can read the prequel short story for free, and I'm currently enjoying the similarly-themed Starfish, which is $1.80 right now (but should come with a lot of trigger warnings).
He participated in an AMA while supporting Echopraxia and had a lot to say about the marketing of the book:
How well were you served this time around in terms of support, promotion, and other behind-the-scenes stuff?
Better than Blindsight was served, certainly (which is, admittedly, a low bar to clear). They did a bunch of Echopraxia/Ultra-Thin-Man giveaways. Commissioned "The Colonel", gave me their Tor Author Pop Quiz, posted a rave (but hardly unbiased) review at Tor.com, passed on third-party requests for email interviews, that kind of thing. And let's not forget, I got a much better cover this time around.
As far as I can tell they didn't really push the title, though-- nothing that involved laying out a budget (I asked them about a book launch, which has always happened in the past, and they blew me off). I don't know if they advertised it or anything. They didn't put any blurbs on the cover except for one I hand fed them, which is kind of odd given how many good reviews Echopraxia has got from the usual suspects. None of this surprises; I'm just another midlist author, after all, and publishing is a business like any other. You put your money where you expect the greatest return.
Also, as I've mentioned elsewhere, I was told explicitly that any kind of active promotion was unlikely as long as I insisted on a title that people in Marketing wouldn't be able to pronounce. I was open to alternatives, but I couldn't come up up with one that worked on multiple levels the way "Echopraxia" does, and neither could Editor #2-- and to give her credit, she let me keep the E-word despite her misgivings. I do think it's the best title for the book-- and it's not as though Tor was about to run 30-second ads for "State of Grace" during the Superbowl anyway-- but I acknowledge that more people might be buying the thing if it had a two-syllable title.
I'm pretty sure, though, that those extra people would have stalled out before page ten. If the word "Echopraxia" on the cover scares you off, you're not going like any of the words behind it.

There was a surge of locksmith corporations all throughout the nation giving incredibly reduced premiums and superman like response times. It isn't till just after the company that the majority of prospects figure out it had been as well great to become correct. These "ghost" locksmith providers are actually plaguing the general public by providing their companies as "local".

The call heart then dispatches a "locksmith" within their community shut on the lockout.

Mar 3 2009 by Helen Rae, Evening Chronicle
A LITTLE boy who was born with an extra half-vertebrae is set to have a major operation to correct his spine.
Jack Sundin, two, of Whitley Bay, could not have had a more difficult start to life.
He was born with a range of serious health problems, including congenital scoliosis hemivertebrae, a curvature of the spine that is the result of an extra half-vertebrae. Now consultants at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital have told his parents Lisa, 33, and Alistair, 43, that their son's spine is curving quicker than expected.
In the next few weeks the youngster will need an MRI and CT scan before the six-hour operation.
Speaking from their home in Hertford Close, Beaumont Park, Mrs Sundin said: "We found out before Christmas that Jack's spine was out by 33° and within 10 weeks that has moved to 45°.
"We've been told he needs to have an operation as soon as possible and there's a 50% chance there could be other medical problems as his curved spine could be putting pressure on his internal organs.
"We knew Jack would need an operation on his back in the future but we never expected it to be this quick."
After the operation Jack, who also lives with his siblings Hollie Graham-Scott, eight, and James Holmes, 14, will be put in a back brace.
Jack was born prematurely at 32 weeks and was also diagnosed with a hole in the heart and defective valves – and tracheo-oesophageal fistula, where the bottom end of the food pipe is joined to the windpipe.
Within days of being born, he had a major operation to rectify his foodpipe abnormality. Last April the youngster had open heart surgery at the Freeman Hospital. Jack has also been diagnosed with chronic lung disease.
