Rob Wylde's Glam Rock Top Twenty!
So, what made me want to be a musician? To devote my whole life to something? To live, breathe, eat and sleep something that at times has cost me nothing more than ridicule and heartbreak? The reason....One day, it's gonna happen. I can still remember how much it hurt to be 12 years old, stood in the playground at school surrounded by kids who hated me for being different, calling me names for having long hair, putting me down and generally making my life a fuckin' misery. Why did I put up with it?....Cuz one day, it's gonna happen. In some kind of strange way, I long for the day that I can have my revenge on those little bastards, who by now are probably a mile high in dirty nappies, working 9-5 and waiting for their turn to die. I guess what I'm trying to put across here is that loving music isn't just about loving music; it's a way of life. I wake up every morning with one thought on my mind: Getting laid. No, seriously I wake up every morning with one thought on my mind: How I can make a living out of the one thing in my life that has never let me down....Music. One day its gonna happen....
So, here's 20 albums that have defined me both as a person and as a musician and made/make me pick up the guitar and start writing music.
Poison - Look What The Cat Dragged In (1986 Enigma)
An album that to me, completely defines the whole hair/glam metal genre in one fell swoop. Bret wasn't the best singer in the world, but who cared? He looked cool! I remember many a Friday nite, raiding my Mum and my Sisters make-up bag and donning more make-up than both of them put together in an attempt to look like Bret....Yeah, he was that fuckin' cool to me!
Standout tracks: Cry Tough, Look What The Cat Dragged In & Talk Dirty To Me
Danger Danger - Screw It! (1991 Sony)
These dudes were everything that I looked for in a rock band. Awesome songs, great attitude and a cool image....What a fuckin' band! Any guy around at the time who didn't want to look like drummer Steve West was either pitching for the other team or a member of Pearl Jam! ("Jeremy spoke in....", fuck off!)
Standout tracks: Monkey Business, Don't Blame It On Love & Crazy Nites
Vain - No Respect (1989 Island)
An all together darker glam album. Fronted by the awesome Davy Vain, these dudes took the tried and tested glam formula and mixed it with some more gothic influences like the Cult and Bang Tango to create this beast of an album. Vocalist Davy Vain could and should have given Sebastian Bach a run for his money, as his class and sleaze pretty much outshines anything Bach has ever put down on record....great!!
Standout tracks: Beat The Bullet, No Respect & Icy
Trixter - Hear (1992 MCA)
Initially marketed as a happy-go-lucky pop-metal band, (who happened to sell a million copies of their debut album back in 1990) Trixter returned in '92 with a tougher and harder rock sound. The production on this album is awesome and lets the songwriting talent of guitarist Steve Brown shine through. An album so good, that I honestly believe that had Kurt Cobain not reared his ugly head, would have propelled these guys to major league stardom....essential!!
Standout tracks: Rockin' Horse, Nobody's A Hero & Road Of A Thousand Dreams
Shotgun Messiah - Second Coming (1991 Relativity)
I remember seeing a picture of Shotgun Messiah in Kerrang magazine back in 1989. The singer was plastered with make-up and was wearing a pink and black leather outfit. I remember thinking "I don't care what they sound like, they look cool!!" That same year, I heard their debut "Welcome To Bop City" and it shook my world. However, it was their 2nd album, featuring bass player turned singer Tim Skold (currently writing and playing bass for Marilyn Manson) that really affected me deeply. The album kind of comes across as Motley Crue meets Kiss meets Ramones. They even throw a cover of the New York Dolls "Babylon" for good measure.
Standout tracks: Red Hot, Heartbreak Boulevard & Ride The Storm
Pretty Boy Floyd - Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz (1989 MCA)
Combining both Poison's "Look What The Cat Dragged In" and Motley Crue's "Too Fast For Love" eras, Pretty Boy Floyd still managed to forge their own identity and produced one of the best hair metal videos of all time with "Rock 'n Roll Is Gonna Set The Nite On Fire". Although maybe sounding a little dated now, the songs on this album are first class and deserve your ears!!
Standout tracks: Rock 'n Roll, 48 Hours & Your Mama Won't Know
Bon Jovi - New Jersey (1988 Mercury)
Before Jon managed to get stuck up his own arse, he produced this fine glam-metal album that comes complete with numerous songwriting credits from both the legendary Desmond Child and Diane Warren. This album was produced by Bruce Fairbairn and Bob Rock and sounds....fuckin' massive!! "Wild Is The Wind" and "Born To Be My Baby" are melodic rock classics....Shame Jon can't write anything like that these days!!
Standout tracks: Born To Be My Baby, Wild Is The Wind & Lay Your Hands On Me
Warrant - Dog Eat Dog (1992 CBS)
Despite selling millions of records using the slipstream of Poison, Warrant only really came into their own on 1992's Dog Eat Dog album. A much harder album than their previous ones, at times leaning towards the hard rock market and at last, really showcasing Jani Lanes awesome songwriting talent. The band got a little more serious on this album, with less emphasis on their dicks. (Even though there are still plenty of cock-rock anthems to be found on this record) This LP saw a band mature from a dumb glam metal act to an....erm, intelligent glam metal act.
Standout tracks: Bridges Are Burning, Machine Gun & Quicksand
Ratt - Invasion Of Your Privacy (1985 Atlantic)
An album that oozed 80's glam metal. Great production from Beau Hill, who went on to produce Warrant, Winger etc. Jeez, this guy must have been talented, he made vocalist Stephen Pearcy sound good!! Warren De Martini's guitar playing is fuckin' amazing on this album. Combine that with the great songs and you've got one awesome record.
Standout tracks: You're In Love, Lay It down & Never Use Love
LA Guns - LA Guns (1988 Vertigo)
"Dark and sleazy" is how I would describe LA Guns' debut. They took Poison's happy-go-lucky glam-metal approach and turned it upside down, taking it to a vampire infested sleaze-metal direction. LA Guns wrote dirty, nasty, gutter-rock but added some New York Dolls glamour to the proceedings and forging a few MTV hits along the way. A vastly underated album!!
Standout tracks: No Mercy, Bitch Is Back & One Way Ticket
Def Leppard - Hysteria (1987 Mercury)
Possibly the biggest sounding 80's glam/pop-metal album ever! Def Leppard never once looked liked rock stars to me. More like bricklayers with guitars!! Still, they had it where it counts....They had the songs. Ok, the million dollar production helps a little bit, but the songs on here are just fantastic. At the time, this album easily outsold Bon Jovi's "Slippery When Wet" album and it's pretty easy to see why. The bricklayers from Sheffield done good!!
Standout tracks: Women, Love Bites & Hysteria
Skid Row -Skid Row (1989 Mercury)
Without a doubt, Skid Row at their best and before they decided that they were "heavy metal" fans!! A classic album which sounds a lot like Ratt at times (that's no bad thing!) complete with the smash hit "18 And Life", obviously written by their babysitter, Mr.Jon Bon Jovi.
Standout tracks: Big Guns, Sweet Little Sister & I Remember You
Cheap Trick - Authorized Greatest Hits (1999 Sony)
Featuring every song you'll ever need to hear from this classic band. 'Nuff said.
Standout tracks: I Can't Take It, Surrender, Dream Police, I Want You To Want Me, The Flame....Oh fuck, just go and buy the album!!
Marvelous 3 - Ready Sex Go (2000 Elektra)
Without doubt, Butch Walker's finest work. Bringing 80's pop-metal kicking and screaming into the new millenium!
Standout tracks: Little Head, Get Over & I Could Change
Kiss - Alive 2 (1977 Casablanca)
Forget "Alive", this is the classic live album of all time, complete with pyro blasts....What more do you want?
Standout tracks: Detroit Rock City, God Of Thunder & King Of The Night Time World
Gemini Five - Babylon Rockets (2003 Wild Kingdom)
Awesome nu-glam, kinda sounding like a late 80's Bon Jovi meets Alice Cooper. Without doubt my favourite new album of 2003/2004!!
Standout tracks: Myself Esteem, Babylon Rockets & 24-7
Motley Crue - Girls, Girls, Girls (1987 Elektra)
My favourite Motley album. It captures them somewhere in between their raw roots and their "over-produced" era.
Standout tracks: Girls, Girls, Girls, Wildside & You're All I Need
White Lion - Mane Attraction (1991 Atlantic)
Awesome melodic hard-rock album from another band that could've been as big as Bon Jovi. Just great songs!
Standout tracks: Broken Heart, Love Don't Come Easy & You're All I Need
Survivor - Vital Signs (1985 Scotti Bros)
Maybe I've watched one too many "Rocky" films....Oh well, never mind. The melodies and hooklines on this album are exquisite! An album so good, that one of my favourite bands, "Danger Danger" blantantly stole the riff from "High On You" and turned it into "Turn It On" on their debut album. Oh yeah and "Broken Promises" from this album became "Naughty Naughty" on Dangers debut....You know it's a great album when it gets ripped off!!
Standout tracks: I Can't Hold Back, Popular Girl & Everlasting
Kane Roberts - Saints And Sinners (1991 Geffen)
An album co-written with one of my favourite songwriters of all time Desmond Child. (I'd love to write a song with that dude one day!) Also featuring songs written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, this album is pure American radio friendly bubblegum hair-metal of the finest order from Alice Cooper's former axe-man.
Standout tracks: Fighter, Wild Nites & Does Anybody Fall In Love Anymore?

Favourite Articles
The Impact of Rude Behaviour of a Business by Christie Nicholson
Play nice. This article talks about how as consumers we have a larger negative experience seeing employees treating each other badly rather than employees treating us badly. Perhaps we no longer need customer service as vital to businesses but employee community as the number one concern.
Consumers Don't Trust Facebook by Kit Eaton
Facebook might as well be a sketchy drug dealer. We don't trust him, yet we're so addicted it doesn't even matter. I wander what's going to happen when people start sobering up or wanting to quit. We might be too far in.
Solid Vase of Splashing Milk by Fung Kwok Pan
Is this art or is this marketing? I personally believe that all art is a commodity. Famous contemporary artists sell their works for millions, and even if the piece was made for the gallery, residues such as photographs or pieces of the uninstalled piece will go on for sale. Enough of that however, I thought this design was extremely innovative. Enjoy!
Cool Company
I love Groupon. I also love a few other daily deal sites but perhaps Deal Radar might be my new favourite. Deal Radar "follows" different daily deal sites in your city and puts it on one page allowing you to get all deals rather than having to jump around on different sites. The correct marketing term for this is called the Long Tail or the aggregation of one category E.g. Amazon is a long tail for books. I hope you enjoy this find, but please don't blame me for any extra spending.

Taylor Swift pratar om Selena!
Glamour: I know you have many close girlfriends. Are they helpful in keeping your worries in check?
Taylor Swift: They are so important in my life right now. I'm the kind of girl who needs to tell her friends everything. I've developed this really close-knit group of girls. Two of my close friends are bandmates. My other close friends are Ashley, Claire, Diana, Emma, and Selena.
Glamour: Emma is Emma Stone, and Selena is Selena Gomez. Is it nice to have friends who are also famous?
Taylor Swift: I met Emma when I was 17, and I met Selena when I was 18. So they've experienced all of this with me, and they've also experienced their own amazing success, and somehow through all of it, we've stayed close.

The managing director of the Buy-to-Let Show Oliver Romain has issued a reminder about landlord responsibilities.
In particular reference to landlord law, the property expert said that it is important private landlords obey all the legal requirements that apply.
He indicated that anyone who has become a so-called accidental landlord should tell their mortgage companies and insurance firms so that it is clear the home are now being used for business purposes.
There are a plethora of landlord legal issues that people in the buy-to-let sector must remember, Mr Romain explained.
"There are over 80 different laws, rules and regulations that cover the private rental sector and affect landlords, so there is an awful lot to learn because there is a lot of danger that can impact on landlords,"he commented.
Earlier this week, the National Landlords Association warned buy-to-let professionals to be on the look out for tenants who use properties as cannabis factories. The problem of drug use in rental property is an issue the group is currently trying to clamp down.

Sermon given on Yom Kippur Eve, 5764, October 5, 2003, by Rabbi Barry H. Block
Perhaps the defining moment of the 1988 Presidential campaign occurred during a nationally-televised debate. Bernard Shaw, of CNN, asked a rather pointed question of Governor Michael Dukakis, the Democratic nominee, who was known to oppose capital punishment. Shaw asked whether the Governor would favor the death penalty if his wife, Kitty Dukakis, were the victim, if she were raped and murdered.
Dukakis offered a rational explanation of his opposition to capital punishment, whomever the victim might be. While his reasoning might have been sound, Dukakis' answer was a disaster, sounding the death-knell of his campaign. Dukakis failed to respond with the horror and revulsion that should have marked the reaction of a man forced to contemplate his own wife's rape and murder. He should have been indignant, in his retort to such a repugnant interrogation.
Each time we in the Jewish community are asked about the situation in Israel, we would do well to remember Michael Dukakis. Some of us believe firmly that the Israeli government should make territorial concessions; we fear that Israel's actions have not always been just, and we support the establishment of a Palestinian State. Others think that every Israeli military action is fully justified, and oppose any negotiation with the Palestinians. Whatever our divergent opinions, though, we must first respond as sisters and brothers, who have been asked about our own loved ones, victimized by a daily dose of terror.
First, we must mourn the deaths of the men and the women, the boys and girls, and even the babies, who have been murdered for no crime other than being Jewish in the Jewish State.
First, we must express our revulsion at the very notion that one can equate heinous terrorism, directed at civilians, with the acts of a nation trying to protect its people from terror.
First, we must forcefully remind the world that the people who teach hatred of our people in Israel are spreading anti-Semitism. They are attacking each and every one of us personally.
On this night of confession, we acknowledge that many of us have been guilty of indifference to our people in the State of Israel. Too often, we have been quick to harsh judgment of Israeli actions. Too often, we have changed the channel, or turned the page of the newspaper, because we can absorb violence no more. We are numb to the suffering. We don't appreciate our unique connection to our fellow Jews, wherever they may live. And too few of us have visited Israel during these troubled times, fearful of sharing in the common fate of our Jewish people.
These sins may be summed up in the famous question of Hillel: Im ayn ani li mi li? If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I do not stand with Israel, who will? If I do not feel the pain of my people, what kind of a human being am I?
I think of Toni's and my niece, Ruth Dollinger, now serving in the first co-ed combat unit in the history of the Israeli military. Her unit ordinarily guards Israel's peaceful borders with Egypt and Jordan. Not long ago, though, she was sent with her comrades to guard settlers in the Occupied Territories. The mothers and fathers of these young Israeli soldiers, kids really, are proud that their children are serving the Jewish State. On the other hand, many of them feel little kinship with West Bank settlers. The irony is sometimes more than one can bear. Young people are offered a choice: They may break the laws of the land they love and violate their military code, disloyal to their Zionist dreams, or they may risk their lives to defend the very people whom they see standing as stumbling blocks on the road to a peace for which they and their parents yearn. If I do not stand up for the peace process, am I standing for my own people? Im ayn ani li mi li? If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
Not infrequently, I am urged to press the American government not to ask Israel to make concessions to the Palestinians. The next moment, I receive an email from Israel, from a colleague in our Reform Movement there, begging me to support American efforts to influence the Israeli government to stop the settlements and to restrain military action. Both sides tell me that I am abandoning my people if I don't take the requested action. Im ayn ani li mi li? If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
And let us consider the demographics of Israel and the Occupied Territories. There is little dispute that the Arabs will, within a couple of decades hold a majority of the population between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Time is running short. If Israel continues to control all of the land it currently occupies, Jews will soon be a minority in the Jewish state. Four alternative permanent solutions could theoretically be proposed. Israel can offer territorial compromise, which means the creation of a Palestinian State on nearly all of the land that was not part of Israel before 1967. There can be what some call "population transfer" and others call "ethnic cleansing," the expulsion of Arabs from the Greater Land of Israel. A Jewish minority could, by force, rule a Palestinian majority through a process that can only be called apartheid. A fourth possibility would be a single democratic state, which would eventually lose its unique Jewish character with an Arab majority. To be sure, a Palestinian State would bring its problems. We can never support a nation ruled by terrorists, such as Yassir Arafat and much of the current Palestinian leadership. Israel needs a legitimate partner to bring that peace to fruition. But would expelling Palestinians be good for the Jewish soul? Would apartheid permit a Jewish State to continue for any length of time? Would a single nation with a Jewish minority serve the needs of the Jewish people and the goals of Zionism? What is best for Israel? What is good for the Jewish people? Im ayn ani li mi li? If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
Closer to home, I am regularly asked my thoughts about the Zionist activism of fundamentalist Christians. I am called to participate in their events. Some dear friends deeply lament my indifference, and even my opposition, to these activities. The members of our Temple who support these Christian Zionist efforts are among the most ardent supporters of Israel in this community. Their concern for Israel is sincere. Their loyalty to Judaism is unimpeachable. They point to the untold dollars raised to help refugees make aliyah. They argue, correctly, that tens of millions of fundamentalist Christians have more influence on American policy, and particularly on the current Administration, than a few million American Jews. For them, Jewish involvement in the Zionist activities of the Christian right is critically important.
For many of us, though, these fundamentalist Christians' support for Israel can not be disconnected from an unjustified, negative blanket assessment of Islam. Their desire to bring more Jews to Israel is not separate from a theology in which we do not ultimately fare well. Can we join in common cause with folks who stand against us, with every fibre of their being, on domestic matters of the greatest importance to Jewish Americans? Reproductive freedom and gay rights aside, these are the people who oppose our vision of the separation of Church and State, so vital to Jewish life in America. They organize the religious activities that alienate our own children in their public schools every day. I am often privileged to work with pro-Israel Christians, albeit less vocal ones, who are sympathetic with our situation as a religious minority in America. My Christian friends regularly question the very integrity of the most vocal fundamentalist Zionists. Jewish support of these right-wing efforts mystifies mainstream Christians, and makes them wonder whether they should support Israel themselves. If I stand with the best-known Christian Zionists, am I truly standing for my people? Im ayn ani li mi li? If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
The truth, I know, is that we all have different answers to these questions. Our own niece, Shari Dollinger Magnus, until recently worked for the Israeli Embassy, connecting with Christian Zionists, many of whom are her devoted friends. She continues to do this work, now in the private non-profit sector. I count among the dearest members of this congregation countless individuals who disagree with me strongly on this subject. While all three Rabbis of Temple Beth-El are in agreement, we know that cherished rabbinic colleagues in this community feel differently. When other Jews join forces with fundamentalist Christians in support of their vision of Israel, I know that you do so with the best interests of Judaism and the Jewish State in mind. When your Rabbis decline to join in these efforts, I pray that everyone in our Jewish community knows that we, too, are acting out of ahavat Yisrael, our love for the people of Israel.
When Hillel asked, Im ayn ani li mi li?, he did not stop there. He went on to ask, uchesh'ani l'atzmi mah ani? If I am only for myself, what am I? On this Yom Kippur, we must acknowledge that some among us have been so consumed with the welfare of our own people that we have been indifferent to the suffering of Palestinians. Yes, some of them are terrorists. Yes, many of them seek the destruction of the State of Israel. And yet, there are others, many others, who seek a lasting peace, in their own State, living beside a secure and peaceful and Jewish State of Israel. Even if Israeli actions are justified, and most are, we have a Jewish religious obligation to mourn the deaths of Palestinian civilians, men and women, boys and girls, and even babies, who have suffered the misfortune of being near arguably legitimate targets of Israeli military attacks. Even if those innocents have been manipulated by terrorists, used as human shields in the most vile and inhumane strategy imaginable, we are obligated to weep for their deaths. Uchesh'ani l'atzmi mah ani? If I am only for myself, what am I?
Hillel's second question might be applied within our own Jewish community, as well. Here in San Antonio, we rightly celebrate a unity of Jews of every stream – Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionist, and Chabad – unheard of in most other cities. Some have expressed the fear that our disagreements about Middle East policy are leading to a rupture in the harmony that has long sustained us.
For decades, Rabbi Stahl was largely responsible for our community's unity, together with Rabbi Aryeh Scheinberg, of Congregation Rodfei Sholom. Understandably, some folks were concerned that Rabbi Stahl's retirement might lead to a break-down in our San Antonio Jewish harmony, particularly with all our disagreements about what is best for Israel. I am admittedly more apt than Rabbi Stahl to speak, when the interests of local peace might be better served by silence.
I have been privileged to discuss the matter in some depth with Rabbi Scheinberg in recent months. We have, on numerous occasions, agreed to disagree. Our lines of communication are open. In fact, Rabbi Scheinberg and my wife, in that order, were the only two people who saw this sermon before tonight. Most importantly, Rabbi Scheinberg and I have reached the mutual conclusion that our divergent opinions, not just between Rabbis, but throughout our community, need not detract from our unity. Some Jews support Israel and the best interests of the Jewish people by ardently refuting any proposal of territorial compromise with the Palestinians and by embracing Christian Zionism. Other Jews love Israel and the Jewish community by urging Israel to make concessions for peace and by refusing to participate in the pro-Israel activities of fundamentalist Christians. Whether we be in one camp or the other, or somewhere in between, we are called upon to respect and to embrace our fellow Jews, who love Israel differently. None of these views should be taboo for presentation through our Jewish communal organizations and none of the Jews who hold these positions should be accused of disunifying our community. Uchesh'ani l'atzmi mah ani? If I am only for myself, and not for other Jews who believe differently from me, then what am I?
Our ancient Rabbis taught that the Second Temple was destroyed because of groundless hatred between different groups of Jews in ancient Israel. Pharisees and Sadducees, Essenes and Zealots, let their disagreements lead them into disunity and disarray, making them easy prey for the Roman conquerors. May our varied opinions strengthen our Jewish people, here in San Antonio, in Israel, and throughout the world. And let us remember Hillel's last question: V'im lo achshav, eimatai? And if not now, when? Now is the time for each of us to speak up, stating our own deeply held convictions, out of love for the Jewish people. Now is the time for even a diverse people to unite.

The Skoda Octavia is the firm's bestselling car and it now has a comprehensive upgrade with lots of new technology on board.
In addition to new driver assistance technology which help to make driving the car safer and more comfortable, Skoda has also boosted its online offering as well.
Indeed, the Skoda connect system has a new range of services including infotainment and satnav.
Tech upgrades for the Skoda Octavia
Among the tech upgrades for the Skoda Octavia is online traffic information which will deliver real time traffic flow along a selected route and offer the driver alternatives to avoid traffic jams.
There's also information on parking, fuel prices as well as weather reports.
The connectivity will see the driver's route, points of interest and destination being transferred from a computer to the Satnav system which also links up with Google Street View and offers the latest maps.
Skoda Octavia also has emergency call function
The Skoda Octavia also has emergency call function, what the firm calls eCall, which will connect with the emergency services should a restraint system be triggered in an accident.
The system also notifies the relevant authorities if the car is in a minor accident and will also call the breakdown service when necessary.
The system also has a scheduling service function which will see the owner being contacted by a dealer before the vehicle service is due so an appointment can be arranged.
Get this car on personal contract hire
With the growing popularity of mobile phones the Octavia has more connection services including a function called 'Honk and Flash' which owners can use in a busy car parks to find their vehicle which will activate the hazard lights and sound the horn when necessary.
There's no doubt that some of the additions to the excellent Octavia are from higher segments with safety kit including pedestrian proactive protection, blind spot detection and imminent collision warning which will also apply the brake to avoid an impact.
The new additions will undoubtedly make the Skoda Octavia more popular and it offers lots of comfort and excellent handling for each class and the car also does really well in reliability surveys and there's lots of equipment on-board for the money too.

Title: Linux Kernel Test Model Based on Business Application Characters
Technical Area: System Software
Currently Alibaba is deploying Linux 4.x based kernel version on all systems, multiple iterations are made within one year to benefit from latest kernel improvement and bugfixes. As a huge Internet and cloud company, there are thousands of business applications running on millions of systems with a very strict requirement on reliability. It is a big challenge to make the new kernel deployment smooth in such a short period in addition to kernel stability assurance.
We have been developing a kernel test system. Most of open source test suites and newly developed test cases were integrated against kernel subareas. As a part of continuous integration (CI), a few business application related test suites are also run when new kernel version is released. In this way, we can assure the common kernel quality in some degree, actually many kernel bugs were found and fixed during the period.
But the test coverage is not enough yet, there are thousands of business applications inside Alibaba, they are very complicated with different workloads on the kernel, many of kernel bugs were still found after the kernel deployment. The idea is that a test model could be constructed which simulates various application workloads on the kernel, so the application related issues could be exposed before the kernel release.
Alibaba business scenarios could be available for research and verification purpose, researchers can dynamically collect production statistics used for analysis and design. A proof theory should be developed with a POC provided, the expected output may include but not limit to:
- 80% of business application scenarios should be covered.
- The approach should be generic, all business application can be applied. Feasibility: less 5% impact on business application in running time.
- At least 30 kernel bugs should be found with the approach.

2018 Ford EcoSport 3 Month Evaluation
By Phil1336 on Saturday, April 07, 2018Almost 3 months of ownership an 1500 miles driven an my impression of the new Ford EcoSport is so far very positive. Cocerns of Fit & Finish an general Quality Control from a vehicle built in India is not an issue whatsoever..Quality materials, comfort an Value are all in place. The Value is in the Base S Trim Model for 21K. Unless you need a Power Sunroof, Push Button Ignition an SYNC 3, this is the way to go. The EcoSport is (not) a 27K or 28K Vehicle no matter how many bells an Whistles you choose to add. It looks like a Baby Escape with as much if not more ground clearance. Interior layout an quality an comfort of seating an materials used is excellent for a Base Trim Vehicle. I actually prefer the EcoSport over my other Vehicle a 2017 Honda HR-V in LX Trim! 3 gripes though. NO Emergency Spare Tire (Donut) just a Tire Inflator Kit (worthless) or order the Ugly Full Size Spare mounted on the Rear Hinged Hatch Door. No CD Player in any Audio System an Sirius Satellite Module not available in Base S Trim. Even a 11K Hyundai Accent or Kia Rio includes the Sirius/XM feature! Fuel Economy also is a bit disappointing for a Vehicle with a 3 cyl engine an only 1 ltr. displacement. Rear Seat Legroom is a bit challenging too. Small storage area behind rear seats is barely adequate unless one or both of the Rear Seat are folded down. All in all, for a 19K New CUV, a like it!

Very Happy!
By Estelle in Everett on Sunday, March 24, 2019I tried all of the sub-compact suvs. It came down to the HR-V and the EcoSport. Liked them both but kind of thought they cost a lot just because they're suvs? I bought the Ford and couldn't be happier. 4wd SE was on sale for under 18k! Cheaper than a FIT and has AWD to boot! Love the heated seats and the keyless entry and go features. Love the size and has more than enough power for what it is. (No, it will never win a race;) Very comfortable on the road and better visibility than the HR-V. (I'm only 5'5") Easy to park and I'm happy with the mileage but I drive like Mr. Magoo. Think the "experts" care more about tech than actual "what/how real people use their cars". Fingers crossed. So far so good! Like I said, VERY HAPPY! :)

By Assunta Ng
Most folks are thrilled to operate a vehicle a Mercedes-Benz. But I sensed trouble when my hubby George rented a fresh Mercedes-Benz whenever we were in England a couple of years ago.
"No, I don't want a fresh car," I objected. "And I don't want a Mercedes."
"The (car rental) guy explained that this may be the only car that they had left," George replied. He and I aren't vain about fancy cars; we have been practical and care more concerning the merits of automobiles than their brand.
"Okay, you get full insurance better," I said.
"Yea," he said. It's just a small fee once you add insurance to your vehicle rental charge. Some bank cards offer rental auto insurance — consult with your charge card company and make certain liability insurance is roofed.
It's risky for George to operate a vehicle in England for just two reasons. We were not really acquainted with the national country, and he's not used to the tyre on the proper side of the motor car. Actually, there's another good reason, England's roads are hard to program on the GPS. You should know the precise name with the precise spelling to be programmed to get the right directions. A hyphen and dot could be challenging to enter on the GPS.
On the first, George drove from the London airport to Windsor. It straightforward was pretty. However, day on our second, an exit was missed by us driving to Oxford, and finished up on the incorrect road. There, the motor car hit the tail end of a double-decker bus because George couldn't start to see the bus. The Mercedes! Don't ask.
The completely new car's front was crooked and bent. The damages were over $1,000 U.S. We spent four hours looking forward to the tow truck and the motor car rental company to send us another car.
The positive thing was, we paid nothing. There is little paperwork involved, we didn't have to file any claim forms. The motor car rental company took care of everything. Our insurance covered everything, however, not our spirit. We were shaken. But without insurance, we'd have felt worse even. Then, Day george struck the sidewalk whenever we left the garage another. Oh yes, the damage was obvious. Again, it had been included in the insurance. It's unusual for George to possess two accidents in two days. He's got a solid history of being truly a good driver for many years in the U.S. Once you travel in a strange land, it's rather a different story totally.
I didn't know any thing about travel cover initially. Our friend Vi Mar, a former travel agent, taught us to obtain insurance in 1990. Newspaper work was unpredictable. We didn't know if we're able to leave our office for 14 days during Christmas. "For the reassurance, get insurance," she said. If anything happens, losing will be minimal.
There were several family emergencies since that time, and we travel as usual with insurance plan. My mother-in-law was near dying, and we didn't know if we have to travel.
Then, my mother was sick and I hesitated to plan trips. But with insurance, we were comfortable to plan flights and cruises months beforehand, since we're able to anytime cancel our trip. There were don't worry.
One friend argued she doesn't have confidence in buying travel cover. "I go back home safe out of every trip, and nothing happens," she said. "And the insurance firms make all of the money from me just."
If nothing happens in my own trips, I count that as blessings not merely for myself, however the insurance provider too. I'd rather they create a little money and my stress of facing an enormous unexpected loss, reduced.
Getting sick on the trip
Are you aware your medical health insurance plan might not cover you once you travel overseas?
If you obtain sick, it may be a financial disaster or mental drain. Maybe once or twice, my hubby got sick during our trips, and we felt helpless. We didn't learn how to get doctors or where you might get help. He was sick because us prescribed medicine that has been too strong for him. His body didn't react well. I asked for help from the hotel whenever we were in Venice. Once the doctor arrived, my hubby refused to let he be observed by the physician. He didn't have any confidence in the physician. I had to cover the doctor for turning up still.
Bring the proper medicine for travel. Year last, whenever we were in London, my hubby had diarrhea because of eating over-greasy stuff. I didn't bring any anti-diarrhea pills. If we visit China, I'd have brought the anti-diarrhea kind. I brought constipation-relief pills only.
It's vital that you have both.
Also, don't drink the water from the restaurants once you travel. Require hot water, that is much safer, and can save you a whole large amount of grief.
Stay from street food away. They look good often, but you do not know the locals prepare them now.
vitamin and
Salt C ought to be on your own packing list. Salt water is for sore throat best. Vitamin C boosts your immunity from any flu or colds. Bring medicine, including antibiotics, to fight flus and colds. You could be in a position to buy those beyond your hotel conveniently. However, if you are sick really, it's handy to possess those close to you.
It's no fun while you are sick during travel. Plan and do around you can to safeguard your wellbeing — it's the best arrange for travel.

We owe a great deal of gratitude for his efforts and skill that took us to another chapter in our lives. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Chris to any person selling or buying a home to represent them as an agent. Jerry and Theresa Hawley
Any time I need advice or future business, I know I can call Chris Mangen. Having him as my agent was the easiest part of the task of selling my home.
Chris is a very experienced realtor. 18 years of experience means that Chris has probably experienced every possibility or road block when it comes to selling or buying your new home. Chris sold our home for us in less than a week during the Christmas holidays!! I loved his attention to detail in the contracts. He truly had our best interests in mind. Chris always took the time to go over the details in our offer and make sure we didn't have questions. That shows that he truly cares and has your best interests in mind. The experience with Chris was flawless. I have no complaints. Refer him to all your friends
We can't thank Chris enough for not only selling our house in 12 hours of signing the paperwork for him to be our agent, but his follow up was top notch, ensuring the paperwork was done correctly, that our deposit was transferred on time and his professionalism was the best I have ever experienced! I highly recommend him!!!!!!

Excellent Realtor. Chris is very hard-working and professional. He stays on top of the transaction at every stage and gives good and tangible advice to help with the sale. His team worked closely with us to make improvements and so we fondly call them "The Property Brothers". Thanks for all the attention to detail and effort to resolve any conflicts and negotiations!

Prior to us listing our house, Chris gave us an honest and accurate assessment of the condition of the house and helped us make decisions on how to prepare it for market.

My son has thrown me down. Well, that is just.
Severing my hand – as once I did him so.
He'll make a fine Sith pupil, as he must.
Is it not what I myself did long ago?
Back all those decades, when I chose to kneel
Before Darth Sidious. I have served him well.
I've been usurped in turn. Quite apt, I feel.
We cannot be redeemed, if we choose hell.
Now my Sith master offers to Luke's face
The devil's bargain I accepted then:
Butcher the old apprentice, take his place!
And why should Luke not act like other men?
What's this? His light-saber he throws aside!
He bids Sidious defiance! No! My boy –
He shall destroy you! I know! I have tried
To break these bonds! The Dark Side is no toy
To trifle with! Dark-lightning cuts the air
My Luke to torture, exhausting his life.
I lurch back on my feet in my despair.
Luke's screams rip through me like a jagged knife.
My bondage now I break. With cyborg stride
I hoist the Dark Lord up. This is the end.
His lightning turns on me: for I've defied
The Dark at last. He wounds me. Yet I send
Him hurtling to his death as agony
Spears through my broken body, this old frame.
Luke's here – he's by my side. And saved by me!
He calls me father. Aye. That is my name.
Soon I depart. Luke's hands unclip my mask.
My boy! No tears. You've saved me. You were right.
You've done for me your culminating task.
The Force is balanced, in the end. The sight
Of you gives hope to me. This I will take
Into the Force, in old Jedi parlance.
The Light has triumphed in me. Did I make
Things right again? The Force is in balance!
Farewell, my son. So long I've walked in night –
I hardly hope I will pass into Light.
Darth Vader – Decease
My son has thrown me down. Well, that is just.

Drum Waiters
A music act like no other, the Drum Waiters incorporate elements of world rhythms, Stomp and rock'n'roll drums into a unique performance that is perfect for any event whether indoors or out…
Listen to Drum Waiters
Drum Waiters's Bio
A music act like no other, the Drum Waiters incorporate elements of world rhythms, Stomp and rock'n'roll drums into a unique performance that is perfect for any event whether indoors or out…
Following in the best traditions of the singing waiters and the stage show Stomp, the Drum Waiters provide corporate after dinner entertainment in a fresh, highly animated and inventive way.
Dressed as waiters and helping serve dinner guests prior to the performance, at the appointed time they subtly start to reveal their true colours. Spread around the room, the first 'waiter' starts to clap a rhythm that is picked up by each of the others in turn. At first there is a degree of uncertainty amongst the guests as to what exactly is happening, but as soon as the waiters produce wine bottles, saucepans, trays and cutlery to create fascinating and impressive sounds and beats they quickly become caught up in the fun rhythmic atmosphere as the performers wind their way around the guests towards the stage area.
The show proceeds with skilfully choreographed moves, a variety of drums and percussion instruments – not to mention large water butts for an exciting Kodo piece – and some familiar rhythms – gorilla masks are donned for In The Air Tonight and hands are raised skywards for We Will Rock You. The performance ends with a powerful high speed finale on drum kit and tom toms.
Throughout the Drum Waiters are energetic, vibrant and dynamic, and a degree of audience participation is always inevitable, with guests clapping along. The Waiters can even be joined on stage by volunteers from the audience for one section of the show…
Lead by Mark Walker, one of Disney's drummers from the West End production of the Lion King, and a leading performer on the conference circuit, the Drum Waiters are extremely accomplished and vibrant musicians, whose ability to drum is matched by their ability to perform in an enthralling, engaging, exciting and downright entertaining way…
Audience participation
For some clients a higher degree of audience participation is a requirement. For those who have such a desire, the Drum Waiters can provide boomwhackers for guests to play along on. Boomwhackers are coloured plastic tubes that are struck on the hand (or any other part of the body!) and play musical notes. They are lightweight and great fun. Non musicians can be turned into a wonderful sounding musical boomwhacker orchestra in a very short space of time.
"I am so grateful to you for fitting into the evening so easily, I know that there were lots of 'I don't knows' before the event and thank you for being so flexible. The clients really enjoyed your show as did we and I do hope that there will be a chance to get you all back here sometime in the near future."
Helen MacInnes, Production Assistant, Grosvenor House
"Thanks very much to you and the guys – you did a great job, it was really good fun and I was amazed at how energetic the performance was. Everybody loved it."
Claire Peakman, Aston Villa Players' Awards Ceremony Organiser, 2008
Workshops and Drum Circle
It is also possible for the Drum Waiters to run workshops at festivals and fun days. Suitable for all ages, the Drum Waiters are skilled at turning a group of non musicians into a fantastic drum and percussion orchestra in a very short space of time.

17th swine flu case confirmed
A Brisbane woman has tested positive to swine flu after returning from the United States on the weekend, bringing the total number of cases in Australia to 17.
Queensland Health says the woman, aged in her 20s, was diagnosed when she arrived in Brisbane on a flight from New York on Saturday.
She is now in home quarantine. Four people who had contact with her have been put in quarantine for a week.
Queensland Health says it is trying to contact passengers who were sitting near the woman on the flight. It says any children who were on the flight should be kept at home for seven days.
It is Queensland's second confirmed case of swine flu.
This morning Australia's chief health officer Jim Bishop said schools were the main source of infections in Australia.
The ACT, New South Wales, Western Australia and South Australia have announced that from today, any child returning from countries with large outbreaks of swine flu will have to stay away from school for at least a week.
The countries include Mexico, the United States, Canada, Japan and Panama.
Today, the federal health department is expected to announce a national policy regarding the exclusion of children from schools.
Professor Bishop says health authorities are following a policy of containment until a vaccine is developed.
"This is a disease that has mainly good cases, some bad cases, based on overseas experience," he said.
"We're telling the public that it's not a case of concern at this point, it's something to be aware of and know what to do."
In Victoria, two students from Thornbury High School have the virus, prompting the school to close for at least a week.
The school's principal, Peter Egeberg, says it will not affect Year 12 students because they are in a separate building to the infected children.
"I suppose the other thing that goes through my mind is a whole week off school is a significant amount of time," he said.
"That's why we're grateful that the Year 12s can come in because I don't think the Year 12s can afford to miss one week off school."
A mother and her two children are being treated in Adelaide for swine flu, prompting the closures of Eynesbury College and Blackfriars Priory School.
Four other people are being tested.
The state's Acting Health Minister Jane Lomax-Smith says the precautions are the responsible thing to do.
"These measures will be inconvenient for many parents, but they're for the common good and to benefit the rest of the community by protecting those vulnerable individuals who would otherwise be at risk if they caught swine flu," she said.

Retinal Detachment
Ophthalmology is a medical division of science which copes with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases or sicknesses related to the eye, vision, lacrimal gland and apparatus and also the eyelids. Minor glitches with the eyes can be treated with medications while the major ones might call for surgery. The course or the technique of the treatment (medications or surgery) depends on the severity of the ailment of the eye.
Types of Eye Surgery Treatment
- Intraoccular Lens Implant Surgery
- Cataract and Glaucoma
- Childhood Visual Pathway Glioma
- Central Retinal Vein Occlusion
- Lamellar Keratoplasty
- Retinopathy
- Corneal Transplantation
- Scleral Buckling Surgery
- Canalicular Tear Repair
- Squint Repair Unilateral
- Retinal Detachment
What is Retinal Detachment?
Retinal detachment repair is eye surgery to place a retina back into its usual position. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye. Detachment means that it has dragged away from the layers of tissue around it. Maximum retinal detachment repair operations are serious. A detached retina does not get an apt supply of oxygen. This causes the cells in the area to expire, which can at times result in blindness. Viezec is one of the first-class medical service providers across the globe for patients who are eyeing for low cost ophthalmology treatment in India. We have the finest surgeons on board in association with premium hospitals in India. Our aim is to deliver 100 percent customer satisfaction by rendering top quality treatments at reasonable costs.

You can find a lot of help at the Web's environmental law sites.
By Robert J. Ambrogi
IF YOU think you've had some bears for clients, consider British Columbia lawyer Ben van Drimmelen, whose domain name tells it all: "barristers4bears.com." Sure enough, at his former site -- no longer available -- there was his photo, arms around a particularly grizzly professional acquaintance.
Van Drimmelen was not trapped in the claws of an unfortunate walk-in. To the contrary, this former forester and biologist was putting his training to good use, concentrating his practice -- and his one-time Web site -- on laws concerning natural resources such as fish, wildlife, forests and water. Although van Drimmelen's site is no longer on the Web, there are plenty of others devoted to environmental law. Here is a look at some.
Focus On The Law
From a practitioner's standpoint, lawyers who practice in the field have created some of the most useful sites. A good example is Envinfo.com, a collection of environmental-law information resources created by the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius. Its most outstanding feature is the annual Environmental Deskbook, prepared by the firm as a reference for its clients. The most recent edition featured an article on trends in environmental tort litigation, as well as updated versions of annual sections such as a regulatory calendar, citations to environmental regulations, an overview of federal environmental statutes, and an in-depth look at California and Florida environmental programs.
Boston lawyer David S. Blackmar created the rich and wide-ranging site, Environmental Law Net, where a highlight is the legal information library. It is largely just a collection of links to material elsewhere on the Web, but it is thorough and well organized. It includes laws and regulations; court and agency decisions; agency documents and databases; resources for environmental compliance; materials relating to enforcement and litigation; and resources having to do with environmental aspects of real estate and corporate transactions.
Oakland, Calif., lawyer Roger Beers maintains the Environmental Litigation Pages, featuring his many articles on a range of environmental-law topics, including attorneys' fees, biological resources, discovery in environmental litigation, procedural obstacles, solid waste disposal, workplace exposure, and more. Some of the articles, Beers warns, are more than a decade old, so they may not reflect the current state of the law. But most articles include the date they were published or last updated.
Lawrence P. Schnapf, author of Environmental Liability: Managing Environmental Risk in Corporate and Real Estate Transactions and Brownfield Redevelopment, published by Lexis Law Publishing, hosts Schnapf Environmental Law Information Resource Center. Focused on New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, it covers federal and other state issues as well. It includes links to selected state environmental laws and a compendium of state sites having to do with brownfields and voluntary clean-up.
Legal Advocacy
Legal advocacy has long been a central focus of groups devoted to protecting the environment, as they have taken their battles to the courtroom and the legislature. Several groups devoted to legal advocacy have established sites on the Internet. Environmental Defense is a non-profit organization that links science, economics and law to address environmental issues. Its site is deep with fact sheets, primers, reports and analysis of major environmental topics. No mere collection of links, this site provides a rich research library, with full text reports on an array of topics compiled by a staff that includes more than 75 full-time lawyers, scientists and economists.
-Robert J. Ambrogi
The site serves as the umbrella for Greenpeace organizations worldwide, all of which have their own distinct sites. It houses an archive of resources and materials posted to the Web dating back to 1994. There is detailed information on its various campaigns relating to toxics, nuclear waste, marine life, genetic engineering, and other issues. All of this is frequently updated with news and other features.
The site of the Natural Resources Defense Council, offers a rich array of informative and practical materials. There are sections for each major environmental topic: clean air and energy, global warming, clean water and oceans, wildlife and fish, parks and forests, toxic chemicals, nuclear weapons and waste, and cities and green living.
A non-profit, environmental law firm in Washington, D.C., the Center for International Environmental Law focuses on international and comparative environmental law and policy. Its work encompasses policy research and publication, advice and advocacy, education and training, and support for institutions. Among the topics its site covers are biodiversity, climate change, human rights and the environment, trade and the environment and organic pollutants. Of particular interest is its Law and Communities Program, which focuses on how environmental laws often overlook rural constituencies in developing countries.
Earth Day 1998 was the launch date for the site of Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund, (formerly known as the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund). Strikingly illustrated with the work of nature photographer Galen Rowell, it provides details about the ELDF's key program areas as well as a docket of current cases. Action Alerts assist visitors in sending e-mail to lawmakers.
The Environmental Law Institute, is home to the Environmental Law Reporter, a subscription periodical, available both in print and online, that provides current and in-depth reports on environmental law, including court decisions, legislative news and regulatory updates. ELI's site also includes information about the organization, which describes itself as seeking to advance environmental protection by improving law, policy and management.
From acid rain and agriculture to waste water and wetlands, the one indispensable government resource for the environmental lawyer is the Environmental Protection Agency. This well-designed and easy-to-navigate site is home to the full text of laws and regulations, press releases, newsletters, and other EPA documents. It has complete information on agency programs, offices and publications. Among ancillary sites created by the EPA, two bear mention:
The U.S. Dept. of the Interior, is responsible for management of nearly half a million acres, including the entire National Park System and vast tracts of federal lands, mostly in the west. DOI also enforces laws that protect threatened and endangered species and that govern the management of national wildlife refuges. Its divisions include the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Reclamation, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Geolog-ical Survey, the Minerals Management Service, the National Park Service, the Office of Sur-face Mining and the Office of Insular Affairs.
Smokey Bear works for the U.S. Department. of Agriculture. Its Forest Service is responsible for protecting the nation's 192 million acres of national forests and rangelands, and its Natural Resources Conservation Service oversees some 3,000 conservation districts across the U.S.
The USDA site has information on these programs and more, along with agency reports, news releases, speeches and the comprehensive Agriculture Fact Book.
Another key environmental agency is the U.S. Department of Energy. Here you can find scientific and technical information relating to sources of energy and their impact on the environment.
The site includes extensive information on nuclear waste and environmental safety and health, as well as on the DOE's own environmental clean-up activities.
With more than 700 employees, the U.S. Department of Justice, Environmental and Natural Resources Division, describes itself as "the nation's environmental lawyer." Its site describes the division's organization and presents an annual summary of litigation accomplishments. Also here are division press releases, model consent decrees for certain CERCLA actions, and selected guidance and standards documents.
Laws and Treaties
For the full text of laws, treaties or other original sources of environmental law, the place to start is the Pace Virtual Environmental Law Library. It offers a far-reaching collection of links to U.S. and international materials, and supplements each link with a synopsis and other information such as citation, date signed and effective dates. The site also provides access to the Pace Environmental Law Review and the Journal of the Pace Center for Environmental Legal Studies.
Environmental Treaties and Resource Indicators, allows you to query various databases in order to determine specific information about environmental treaties. For example, you can determine which treaties are in force for a particular state, or which treaties govern a particular subject. The Consortium for International Earth Science Information Network operates the site.
Robert J. Ambrogi is director of the American Lawyer Media News Service.
