The room was large and remodeled. The staff were helpful and friendly. We stayed there because it was only 30 minutes from the alternative airport (Sabiha Goecken). If you are on vacation in Istanbul, this is not the right location. It's great if you want to be on the Asian side, but it is quite a distance from Old Town Istanbul. It's probably more for the business traveler needing to be on the Asian side. The neighborhood is not an area where you can walk around at night. No services around.
We stayed at the Arca Suite Hotel for our last night in Istanbul to be closer for our return journey home via the Sabiha Gokcen Airport. My husband comes from Istanbul and when he got directions to this hotel he looked worried and said that it was in a bad area! When we eventually found the hotel (it was amongst a lot of trucker delivery depots) and walked in, it was like an oasis in a desert!
rooms are large and comfortable. staff are also so helpfull. food was gorgeous in Bistro. best thing is hotel is in center easy to reach to the hotel and shopping malls. fıtness might have larger but enough to work out and relaxing(sauna, massage and turkish bath.)
A solid 4 stars; Good restaurant; Good service Air conditioning could be stronger
Our stay in this hotel was above expectations. Everything was great, tha room was incredible. I would definitely will stay again here if I will have the opportunity.
Clean and tidy Not many staff spoke english which is a problem for international travellers. No english channels on television. Very boring
rooms are large and comfortable. staff are also so helpfull. food was gorgeous in Bistro. best thing is hotel is in center easy to reach to the hotel and shopping malls. fıtness might have larger but enough to work out and relaxing(sauna, massage and turkish bath.)
A solid 4 stars; Good restaurant; Good service Air conditioning could be stronger
good location, in the center, there is no business center but you can get loptop from reception with no extras just given deposit while you are using.large and comfortable rooms. I had a standart room but there was a jacuzi. definetly recommended. 5* service and standarts.
service and staff breakfast was every morning the same, i would make suggestion to make it different every morning.
All in all a great hotel. Very clean rooms and the staff was really good. The room was big and very comfortable. Located on Bagdat Caddesi, with good connections via minibuses. I would not hesitate to stay there agian, and the hotel is top of my list on the anatolian side of Istanbul. Would be better, if it was located on the more exclusive part of Bagdat Caddesi, but then again, the price would be 3 x what it was. This is not a negative remark.
Railway noise all day...
It is a really good hotel , staff is nice and very helpful . Rooms are clean Price is really so expensive , prices change fastly . It is not the first time that I come , but this time I paid about 320€ for 3 nights ...
Elite Hotel Kücükyali is a nice Hotel, Friendly Front Office Staff, but its to far from the City Center.
I loved the staff they were very helpful and supportive. The room was clean. The carpet was very warn. There was dust in the coffee mugs left in the room for customers to use.
Close to Bagdat Cadessi Close to train lines so its very noisy
everything was perfect and good value for money. i found more than my expectations, our room was good decorated and clean. i didn't see anything negative.
poor breakfast
People at the reception are very nice with customers , hotel service is silent and rooms are good space and modern Mini bar is expensive ...
The rooftop pool is beautiful with a great view. The concierge service was outstanding: very helpful and knowledgeable. Great breakfast.
Good location, able staff, friendly atmosphere. Parking facility should allow more freedom to customer; valet parking is good but mentally prohibits customer from frequent coming in and out; physical condition of some rooms may need serious overhauling; breakfast menu excludes orange juice-great disappointment for most customers I'm sure. Somehow I had the feeling that the management should make itself a little bit more visible/perceptible in running the affairs in a first- handed manner occasionally.
Hotel is general is very good for the price, breakfast is great. Location is awful, nothing around, industrial area. Walk to the sea is not far (500 m), but along an ugly busy road.
the breakfast was nice. the hotel inside too old and needs refurbished. the hotel on the web site classified as 5 star hotel but no where near it. too far from the city centre. the furniture too weary and old. the bed not confortable
rooms are big. comon places are good. breakfest is good. bed is low and unconfortable, room furnitures are old
the air-conditioning system was very poor..
it is not what a 5 star hotel should be.poor decoration and in need of a renovation.The area is industrial and ugly.
Bad smell in room 504, moisty smell, water was leaking from the bad
Good premises, fine room, auxiliary staff friendly. Staff at reception desk looks overburdened, valet parking failing badly due to garage repair works and lack of adequate staff; reception desk personnel needs to be more courteous to customers despite apparent overload of work; there is no excuse for sullen faces, puffs or derisive remarks while serving customers.
It's really simple and fast. Giving out my credit card data does not give me a secure feeling overall. I don't even know if it's recorded in a database.
The rooms were kept clean and the rooms are big. Also the hotel is really close to the mean road and a bus station, so it is easy accessible. Hardly any of the staff could speak English. Also the computers were not well kept.
The staff speak poor english

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Father passed away, daughter was living in house taking care of him. His funds were on "hold" since no good will. Landlord trying to evict within 2 weeks of his death. Pmt was due on 15th of month, and landlord notified that pmt will be made when funds are released. Can eviction be done? Do we need to remove his items from the house? Does the normal process of written notification still apply before eviction can be done?
Yes, if the rent is not paid, eviction can take place. The landlord is not required to wait until funds are released. The normal eviction process would apply.

Unless the father's accounts were payable on death or joint tenancy with rights of survivorship the funds would be unavailable for a while even with a valid Will. In the meantime the landlord doesn't have to wait to get paid. The time it takes to evict is controlled by local state law.Ask a similar question
First, you must read the lease and see if it changes the statutory scheme, which is permissible. If not, then the person staying in the rental unit (daughter) is not the tenant and does not have rights to the premises unless granted by the lease. The daughter and anyone else can be considered as an unlawful occupant who can be removed by an eviction procedure. Written notice is required before eviction, but, if I recall correctly, it is 3 days notice. Eviction proceedings tend to move fast. Daughter should either pay rent or find a new place to live quickly.

I went to my first party about 2 months ago. Wow the product was great. I bought quite a bit at the party. Well I ran out about 2 weeks ago and called the consultant to order more and some how she talked me into signing up to be a consultant. My family will be my best customer. I really love the beer bread. Anyone else have a favorite?
I love the products.. The spinach dip is awesome! Also like the seasoning salt and the bacon bacon..
mmmm..... beer bread - it's SOOOO good!
I made the beer bread with rootbeer and sprinkled cinnamon/sugar on top. Yummy!!
I'm addicted to the Oh My! Chai tea mix.
That is one I haven't tried yet. I was given a sample in my kit. I must try it tomorrow.
The almond pound cake is to die for!
So I finally tried the Oh My! Chai. It is soooo good. I also love the Almond Pound Cake. It's so good woth the blackberry presserves.
Let me tell you I bought some type of jelly ( rhubarb something or other) about 5 yrs ago and I still have it in my fridge and still use it. It still tastes great...no mold no off taste either. I love it...
Oh, and the caramel sauce is really good, too.
I could eat the caramel sauce right out of the jar with a spoon.
That stuff sounds good, I wonder how I can find something like that.
I've bought quite a bit over the last few years. I love the teriyaki sauce and the strawberry rhubarb jam. I also like the beer bread, the apple cake, and the almond cake. The salsa is good too.
The Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves on the Almond Pound Cake is wonderful! I sell those a lot when I demo them at a party.
I like the beer bread and the almond cake. They used to make a sauce/salsa that was incredible over grilled chicken. I think it was discontinued though. It was a spicy pepper sauce or salsa in a jar.
I've been invited to a party this weekend. Do they have samples at the parties?
Yes! Lots of samples!
I sample about 15 different items at my parties. You will enjoy it!
Let me know if one would like to find out how you can earn some free products!! Free is always good.

When it was announced that former KNB man Bob Kurtzman would continue his stint as both effects creator and director with Buried Alive, one of a series of films being produced by Media 8 Entertainment that Kurtzman's company, Precinct 13, is providing all the effects for, the fans were thrilled. He returned to the director's chair with The Rage starring Andrew Divoff, and even though no one's seen it yet, the imagery alone is enough to get us gorehound salivating.
Buried Alive, on the other hand, is taking a much more subtle approach to its horror according to the director: "There really isn't a tremendous amount of gore in the film. We do have several sequences but most of the film is an exercise in good old-fashioned creeps and scares…. A ghost… a very malevolent ghost who has been wronged and now wants revenge," he told us recently. "I'm a big fan of Mario Bava's Black Sabbath and wanted to do something that was more about atmosphere and less about the FX. I think we've put some really classic horror movie images on film with Buried Alive. The P13 FX team has worked their asses off this year and it shows. I love working with everyone at P13. I'm surrounded with very talented artists who love what they do and it shows in the work that's coming out of the studio."
For those not in the know, Buried Alive tells of a college prank that goes horribly wrong and ends up awakening a very pissed off spirit from some well-deserved rest. One concern some readers may have when reading the film's synopsis is that we're going to see yet another film filled with characters that serve as nothing more than kill fodder, but Robert assured us that we won't be just seeing a parade of pretty faces: "We have a very sexy cast of 20-somethings, all of whom are incredible actors who've elevated the film by delivering really solid performances…They definitely stepped up…going toe to toe with Tobin. I think you'll be cheering for the living rather than the undead!" The Tobin he refers to here is, of course, Tobin Bell, star of the Saw franchise among many, many others, and Bob was excited about the chance to finally work with the man again. "I actually worked with Tobin before on The Quick and the Dead as well as a TV movie. Tobin is great! He is a total professional and very creative individual as is the rest of the cast and crew."
No one's picked up the film for a release yet, but I'm sure it won't languish for long without a distributor; there's just too much talent behind this to let it sit on a shelf.
Since we had his ear, I also took the opportunity to ask Mr. Kurtzman how things were shaping up on some of the other films in Media 8's series; "Living Hell and Wanted: Undead or Alive we are busy finishing post on," he revealed. "We have quite a few CGI shots in both films. It's been really great working with all the crew here in New Mexico. It's been an incredible experience. On LH we had hundreds of creature tendrils and pulsating cocoon sacks as well as various make-ups on Jonathan Scheck. Wanted: Undead or Alive was a pretty big make-up show with 20 plus characters a day in prosthetics and dozens of zombie gags. The biggest challenge about doing these films has been the back-to-back schedules with only a week between each film. It feels like one big film. We've been working on them since February and will probably continue through November. Producers David Greathouse and Deborah Del Prete have been incredibly supportive throughout the process. I've enjoyed working with screenwriter TJ O'Brien as well as Director Of Photography Tom (Feast) Callaway. Tom has a great eye giving Buried a great atmospheric quality."
Wow, what a schedule! Not too shabby for starting off on your own, though, and I can't wait to see more of the final results from his work on Hell and Wanted! Keep it here as we'll have the latest news for you as we learn it!

"Only as good as your team, excellent ward 31"
About: Darlington Memorial Hospital Darlington Memorial Hospital Darlington DL3 6HX
Posted by Anonymous
I was admitted to ward31 with severe stomach pains as my doctor was also very concerned for me. I arrived and was shown into a waiting area full of chairs and people milling around I was very worried I was going to get left there for a long time in severe pain, but no I was whisked away by a very lovely bubbly specialist nurse who took all my details and before I knew it was hooked up to some pain killing drips. Fantastic treatment seen and pain free in 30mins. Then I was taken out onto the ward, the ward staff are amazing they work endlessly, the ward is full of laughter from the nurses who so obviously enjoy their work, patients are made to feel welcomed safe and cared for by these very hard working nurses. The night staff however were a bit grumpy but I put that down to night shift with very few staff on. The ward manager who I believe is a specialist nurse also is very lucky to have the team he has, the only time I had any contact with him was on a morning when he introduced himself to us as the boss, but he also was a very pleasent chatty chap. Was often seen chatting in the corridor while his team worked around him. All in all a great ward with amazing hard working staff who deserve a big thank you for all the help they have given me

48 HOURS: PICTURE PERFECT - THE TRIAL OF JODI ARIAS is Saturday's Top Show in Key Demo
CBS News' 48 HOURS: "Picture Perfect - The Trial of Jodi Arias" was Saturday's #1 primetime program in households, viewers and adults 25-54, according to Nielsen live plus same day ratings for Jan. 19, 2013. 48 Hours (10:00-11:00 PM) was first in households (3.8/07), viewers (5.49m), adults 25-54 (1.7/04) and adults 18-49 (1.1/03).
Compared to the same night last year, 48 Hours was up +6% in both households and adults 25-54 and was even in adults 18-49.
Saturday's broadcast featured Maureen Maher's report on the dramatic trial of Jodi Arias, who in 2008 was charged with murdering her boyfriend, Travis Alexander. Shortly after she was arrested, Arias recounted for 48 Hours their illicit sexual relationship and their habit for capturing those trysts with her camera.
Travis Alexander was savagely murdered in his home. First Arias told 48 Hours they were victims of a home invasion and she fled, leaving Alexander behind. However, at trial, her lawyers said she lied and she really killed Alexander in self-defense. Alexander was abusive, Arias told 48 HOURS.
48 HOURS has been on the story for four years. Indeed, the prosecution and the defense both may use the 48 Hours interviews with Arias as evidence in her life-or-death trial. An Arizona jury will soon decide her fate.
"Picture Perfect - The Trial of Jodi Arias" is produced by Josh Gelman and Jonathan Leach. Michael Vele, Joan Adelman, Bob Orozovich, Basil Pappas and Bruce Spiegel are the editors. Al Briganti is the executive editor. Susan Zirinsky is the senior executive producer.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Recently renovated with new paint, laminate flooring and beautiful countertop. Two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, windows, TVs and hypoallergenic bedding. Two bathrooms. Well equipped kitchen and in suite laundry. Central air- conditioning. Large balcony with seating for six and a barbecue. Underground parking. Short walk to beaches, dining, downtown and entertainment. Two outdoor pools, hot tub, sauna, fitness room and clubhouse within the resort. Great location for biking, hiking and jogging. Small dogs are welcome.
Hello, I just wanted to say thank you!
Your service from start to finish was impeccable!
We had an amazing time, and your place was so welcoming and comfy. We look forward to staying at your condo again.
Very nice condo! Clean and very close to downtown attractions. We will definitely be coming back!
My friends and I had a lovely time here. The condo was even nicer than expected and much more spacious as well. Well worth it. :)
Everything was as described, the condo was very clean and well furnished, the beds were clean and comfy. The location is downtown so you are close to everything. The pool area was nice and would be great for adults or kids. It was nice to have complimentary coffee there for us in morning. If I did have one complaint it would be that the bedroom blinds do not block much light and it is bright in the morning.
It would suggest this place to a friend.
Flew in Saturday AM for a wedding that day. Marie was fantastic, said we could check in early to get ready for wedding. Flight ended up coming in very early & she was incredible, let us check in even earlier at 9 AM. Condo reminded me of lakeside modern cabin, very pretty. This was the cleanest place we have EVER stayed in. Included everything you needed in kitchen, even coffee, complete spice rack. Within 1/2 block from beautiful trails along lake, beaches & downtown area. Washer/dryer great, included detergent. Bathrooms even had sham/cond.
I believe Marie rents a few different units in Discovery Bay. The only thing I would request is a south facing balcony. We never had any sun on balcony because of condo position & just happened to have cool weather when there. If we would have had sun, we could've sat out on beautiful, large balcony more.
Excellent location, excellent condo with everything you could need to spend a few days or a month. You just need to buy groceries (if you wish to eat in) and a few things to prepare meals (don't forget butter, oil, etc - but spices are all there).
Beds were comfy, condo was CLEAN, having a washer/dryer combo in-suite was ohhh so convenient, especially with kids. You don't have to pack as much!
They have movies, books, tourism brochures, Marie really has thought of it all.
Two cons: The sleeping rooms were quite bright as the window coverings are mostly for privacy. We had early mornings with our kids. And garbage was a bit far but it was a nice short walk on our way out.
We will return, and definitely would recommend this condo to anybody!!!
Excellent condo in complex with nice pools and walking distance to beaches and great dining. Beds and sofa bed were comfortable. Just as pictures show modern and clean. Checked in easily with no waits.

Public relations guru Richard Hillgrove has walked free from court after being convicted of dishonestly cheating the public revenue of £100,000.
Recorder Robert Linford sentenced Hillgrove to 15 months imprisonment, suspended for 24 months, along with 200 hours of unpaid work and £5,000 costs.
In 2011 and 2012 Hillgrove failed to pay HMRC £52,268 of VAT charged to customers of his PR company and deducted £44,846 in PAYE from employee wages without passing it on to the Revenue.
The Somerton PR adviser denied both charges of dishonestly cheating the revenue, but was convicted on 26 March following a three week trial.
Much of the trial focused on Hillgrove's elaborate spending on his business and personal life at a time when he should have been paying HMRC.
The judge said in court this morning...

Women United (formerly United Way Women's Leadership Council) raises the voice and vision of women leaders to fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community. This diverse, vibrant community of philanthropic women is bound together, united by our dedication to improving the communities we call home.
Our northern New Jersey group is proudly part of a powerful, global network of over 70,000 women from 165 communities and six countries, all devoted to creating a legacy of change that benefits everyone. This powerhouse network of change makers has already invested more than $1.5 billion in local solutions around the world, while inspiring and empowering women through philanthropy, advocacy, and volunteerism.
We are United for ALICE®
In northern New Jersey, Women United channels donations and efforts to help ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) and poverty-level women and their families become financially self-sufficient.
ALICE is your friend or neighbor, employed in a job essential to our shared success, such as a home health aide, preschool teacher, or cashier. Despite working hard, these individuals and families are unable to cover their basic needs such as housing, child care, food, health care, and transportation.
Through targeted scholarships, Women United is helping remove the barriers that keep many women and children from achieving their potential.
Child Care Scholarships
Studies show that children who receive quality early childhood education do better in school, earn more as adults, and commit fewer crimes. Sadly, the high cost of quality child care often puts these learning experiences out of reach. To help make crucial, quality care more accessible, Women United helps to fund scholarships for more than 1,000 children in our region.
College Scholarships
Higher education strengthens future prospects and outcomes, yet for many students the cost of an advanced degree can be prohibitive. We partner with Centenary University as well as Raritan Valley, Sussex County, and Warren County community colleges to provide scholarships for students from ALICE households. Thanks to a generous match from these institutions, the impact of our fundraising efforts is doubled.
Professional Development Scholarships
The Child Development Associate (CDA) credential is a reliable and recognized demonstration of a child care professional's ability to meet the needs of young children. Recipients, often ALICE themselves, are able to provide a high standard of care for children in their communities, a crucial building block for ALICE children to succeed. Women United supports scholarships for child care professionals to attain this advanced certification.
Make Your Mark on our Region
When you join Women United, you share your passion for philanthropy with like-minded women while changing the course for local families in need. We welcome women of all ages and backgrounds who want to improve lives for struggling families in our area.

Painstaking Preparation Process:
If you are here, then you might have some basic knowledge about the maple syrup. It is made from the sap obtained from maple trees found extensively in the Northern Region of Canada. The preparation of this syrup involves a painstaking process as only 2% of the sap is converted into syrup and the rest is just the water. Removing this water to get maple syrup is a tedious and long process. That is why these ingredients are very expensive. Canadian Maple Syrup is really a good alternative to sugar and has been widely used in a wide range of recipes and in baking desserts.
As this Canadian maple syrup is quite expensive, you must store and preserve it properly so that it can be used for an extended period of time. We will be using only a little quantity of maple syrup in cooking and so, it is better to get them in the right amount. However, most people have the habit of purchasing maple syrup in bulk to save some money and to avoid frequent visit to the departmental store to purchase it.
Tips To Store Maple Syrup:
One of the best ways to store maple syrup is to place them in the refrigerator. It can even be placed in the freezer to ensure slow decaying of the syrup. The pure maple does not get frozen and so, you can keep it in the freezer for any number of days without losing the sweetness. If you dint store it properly, it could even develop molds at the top. Of course, it can be removed and the rest of the syrup can be used after boiling it. You must check the sweetness of the syrup before storing it in a bottle. If you taste something different, it is best to put away the syrup.

Data Leakage Threats From External Contractors
: 07 July, 2010
(Special Report)
With recent heavy focus on the insider threat, Nick Burrows of Telindus UK examines the external threat to company data from contracted employees and outsourced staff accessing corporate data
The recession has, without a doubt, had a detrimental impact on the buying power of CIOs and CISOs who are under ever more pressure from the board to deliver more, for less. Further, with a preference for OPEX expenditure to cut overheads there has been a trend for organisations to increase their use of outsourced contractors and external staff; all of whom have a real business need to access the corporate network. With increasing incidences of insider threats - 59 per cent of employees that admit stealing company information say they did not have permission to access that data - it is imperative that the CIO protects the corporate network from data leakage. The need to maintain a solid security posture within a reduced budget, and a reduced workforce, is proving harder than ever before.
Insider threat is much more than just industry hype. In June, a Bank of America employee admitted stealing sensitive data from the call centre he worked in and trying to sell it for cash. Earlier this year, in March, investigations began into the theft of data of up to 24,000 clients of HSBS Holdings, a private bank in Geneva, by former IT employee Herve Falciani. Falciani tried to sell the stolen data for more than £2m. And these are just the 'big ticket' data thefts we hear about. Given that three quarters of employees say they can email data out of their organisation and 70 per cent can download data onto a USB stick without trace, this indicates that many organisations are leaving their networks wide open to data leakage.
The reality is that staff are more willing than ever before to steal data - particularly those that have left the company. In a Ponemon survey looking at Data Loss Risks During Downsizing, 39 per cent of employees said they had taken customer information with them when leaving a company. Even more worrying, 24 per cent were still able to access the computer system or network after they had left the company. At a time when organisations are still having to lay-off staff, the risks of insider threat become much more real.
CIOs don't just have to protect their networks from disgruntled current or outgoing staff, the increasing use of external staff and contractors means they have to grant 'guest users' access to the corporate network. More than just being able to monitor and control the flow of data internally and externally at the hands of these external (and retained) staff, these guest users often bring with them their own devices that need to be able to access corporate resources. The concern here isn't necessarily based on an assumption that every external contractor is hell bent on data theft, but that by connecting to the network with an 'out-of-business' device, file-level security is potentially at risk, exposing the network to viruses, Trojans or worms.
The impact on the business from downtime, data corruption and disruption can be just as damaging as data leakage, and both must be mitigated against. If the guest endpoint is not effectively managed, the CIO leaves the network open to significant problems, alongside infection, if one of these unmanaged endpoints happens to be configured in 'dangerous' mode. Beyond these threats, there is also a very real risk that in allowing guest users uncontrolled access to corporate networks, the organisation is unwittingly breaching compliance regulations and risks significant financial penalty.
Ultimately, these organisations have to - and want to - allow guest users to access company data, but must be wary of allowing indiscriminate access to all parts of the network. There has to be a default best practice for when a guest user or guest device needs to connect to the corporate network, and this needs to set individual access permissions based entirely on each users identity and trustworthiness.
However, it's not always as 'simple' as defining access policies. Here is a 'check list' of four criteria CIO's would benefit from keeping front of mind when choosing a solution that will protect their network from the potential risks of external guests, as well as addressing insider risk and compliance:-
1 Secure Guest Network Services:
There are two primary goals for a Secure Guest Network Service. Its first use is to detect non-corporate users or devices and its second function is to provide limited connectivity to authorised guests. Identity-Aware Networking will automatically place non-authenticated users/devices into a dedicated Guest VLAN, which is then separated from the corporate network and set access parameters.
Today's networks are either anonymous or provide visibility at the IP or MAC address level - both of which expose the network to malicious attacks. To prevent unauthorised access to the network at this level, Identity-Aware Networking grants access based on specific user identity controls. This prevents users' from accessing data unauthorised to them and provides the organisation with visibility over user behaviour. By mapping IP addresses to user IDs, CIOs can monitor user actions and deliver a full audit trail upon request.
2 Monitoring, Containment and Automation
One of the most basic of security tools, the monitoring of network traffic provides one of the strongest forms of protection by detecting and containing dangerous endpoints. This is made significantly more effective as network security solutions become identity and application aware, essentially allowing much more granular control of who is accessing which network resources. Authorisation and endpoint security posture checking also ensures that any device not owned or managed by the business is immediately detected and given access only to what corporate security policy allows. This automated process is crucial in detecting and mediating against dangerous behaviour.
3 Mitigation of Insider Threat
There are six requirements for any corporate network to meet to reduce the risk of insider threats:
* Coordinated, enterprise-wide access control
* Authorised network and application access
* Identity based behaviour anomaly detection and mitigation
* Identity and application aware firewalling for central data stores
* Third-party device collaboration and interoperability
* Comprehensive, identity-enabled logging and reporting
4 Legislative Compliance
To ensure the organisation is compliant when both insider and external staff are accessing the corporate network, the solution needs to deliver against these four criteria:
* Prevent unauthorised access of the network, applications and data, and provide instant authorisation for data access
* Check and assess the devices' security posture both before and after connecting to the network
* Offer policy enforcement that is cross-network and consistent, incorporating identity enabled profiling, auditing and logging of data trails
* Provide hardware and software that is hardened to meet recognised standards such as the US-based Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS)
Insider threats and the risk of external access to the network are non discriminatory and pose a threat to any organisation regardless of size or sector. Whether malicious or accidental, the introduction of viruses or Trojans to the corporate network or the loss of data through insider theft or carelessness can lead to serious repercussions for the organisation including loss of customer confidence and unwanted remediation costs. Add to this the need to ensure regulatory compliance and more recently the possibility of heavy fines for non-compliance, and the CIO is under significant pressure. The reality is that a network access control (NAC) solution can support all these requirements. Typically seen as either a means of preventing unauthorised external access to corporate networks or a means of enforcing endpoint security and compliance; NAC is the essential foundational ingredient that allows the CIO to meet the threat of data leakage head on.

- Description
Phosphate levels exceeding 0.03 ppm will negatively affect coral growth as well as negatively influence the health of your fish. In addition, high phosphate levels enhance the growth of annoying algae and cyanobacteria. Most of current phosphate reducing products are based on granular ferric hydroxide and leak iron ions into your tank, which is enhancing algae growth and inhibiting coral growth and have a tendency to start clumping together, thus reducing its effectiveness.
Almost every other iron-based GFO is releasing iron ions into the water up to 10 times more than nbsp, natural seawater levels. This is tested and confirmed at the University of Wageningen, Holland. The tests were done with a inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer.
Reef Interests PO4X4 Phosphate Remover is a unique, chemically engineered, polymer-based mini pellets. In other words, there is hardly any leaking of Iron ions, the pellets do not clump together, and can be readily used in fluidized filters. They have a high surface area and can absorb approximately 4 times more phosphate than most other phosphate removing products. 250 ml will remove 3 ppm of phosphate and silicate from roughly 8.000 liter of fresh water or 4.000 liter of marine water. Do not overdose! Rapid changes in phosphate can negatively affect your animals. Use small amounts of PO4X4 to gradually lower the phosphate levels in your aquarium.
PO4X4 is now available in 250ml and 500ml. PO4X4 works in perfect harmony with our NP Reducing BioPellets, Biopellets XL, or All-In-One Biopellets. However, All-In-One can replace PO4x4 once Po4 and No3 levels are both available for nitrifying bacteria to consume available nitrate.
Why does po4x4 remove 4 times more phosphates then normal GFO?
The Reef Interest PO4X4 consist of a polymer that is bound to pure FeOH2. Both the polymer, as well as the Iron molecules, are able to bind PO4. By combining these, we increased the binding efficiency. In addition normal GFOs consist of a mixture of iron hydroxide as well as iron oxide, while PO4X4 contains only Iron hydroxide. This means that PO4X4 with its higher content of Iron hydroxide, the form that binds phosphates, can bind much more PO4 then your average GFOs can.

When I listen to the radio or turn on the television these days, there are many commercials touting historically low interest rates are and that it is a great time to refinance my mortgage. Well the truth to the matter is "Rates are great!" Rates are at historic lows and refinancing today could make a big difference in the amount of interest you will pay over the life of your mortgage. But the real question should be, is it right for me? And then the answer is, it all depends.
There are several factors that need to be explored such as the cost, the reduction in interest rate, the reduction in the term of the loan, will the new loan require mortgage insurance and most of all, can I even refinance my home today based on the current market value of my home (appraised value).
There is a formula called the break even analysis where you divide in the closing costs by the amount you will save each month and this will tell you in months the amount of time it will take to recapture your closing costs. So let's say the closing costs to refinance your home is $3,200 and you are saving $180 per month. Your break-even would be approximately $3,200/$180 or 17.78 months. This will give you an idea if it makes sense to go forward. The next crucial question is how long do you think you will own the home. If you think you will own it for at least another 18 months, then it makes senses to look further.
One of the most challenging obstacles to refinancing your home today is the appraisal process. Unfortunately, the values of homes have dropped considerably in the past 5 years. According to Trulia, real estate prices covering all properties in the Atlanta area have depreciated 20.1% over the past five years. Since real estate trends are very localized, some area have been depreciated far more. In order to refinance you home using standard loan products, you will have to have a minimum of 5% equity in your home. So if your house appraises for $200,000, the maximum loan you could get would be $190,000. The good news is that there are several programs available for homeowners with little or no equity left in their homes. So depending on the type of mortgage you currently have, you might be in luck.
If you currently have a FHA or USDA mortgage, there is a streamline refinance that does not require an appraisal which is a great option. Depending on when you current FHA mortgage was endorsed by FHA can make it a fantastic option or just a pretty good option. If your loan was purchased by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and you closed on the loan prior to May 31, 2009, you may be eligible for a HARP (Home Affordable Refinance Program) refinance. The main feature of a HARP refinance is that it allows you to refinance you home even if you are upside down on your mortgage. To see if your loan was purchased by either, go to http://www.knowyouroptions.com/loanlookup for Fannie Mae properties and https://ww3.freddiemac.com/corporate/ for Freddie Mac properties. There are many rules governing these programs, so it is best to speak with a mortgage professional regarding your options.

History of Aromatherapy and RomanceFor thousands of years, people have used scents and aromas for love and sensuality. In ancient Egypt and Rome, bathing with essential oils was part of the ritual of preparation for lovemaking. Cleopatra, one of the most renowned lovers of all time, is reputed to have scented the sails of her royal barge with rose water to seduce Mark Antony as she sailed to meet him. Today, the perfume industry is a multibillion- dollar business based on the notion that fragrance makes us more attractive to each other. Nature's essential oils have been used to heal the body, enhance life, evoke memories and seduce.
How Essential Oils WorkThe aromatic molecules are inhaled and carried to the olfactory membrane, the place from which millions of nerve endings send signals to the brain. The scents are analyzed in different centers of the brain for memories and emotional and sexual responses. There's a logical explanation for scent's powerful effect on romance: there are studies that show that essential oils can act directly on the limbic system of the brain, the center of our emotions, memories and sexual behavior. Essential oils can affect your mood, emotional well-being and desires. The use of essential oils can help enhance self-confidence, radiate vibrancy, and increase sensitivity. Some essential oils can be stimulants, others aphrodisiacs, others euphoric or sedative. Their scents stimulate the mood and psyche creating erotic sensations and awakening desire.
Essential Oils for Romance:
- PATCHOULI – Voluptuous, evident, suggestive, sensual. Reaches deep into the emotions and helps to decrease inhibition and to enable the release of emotions.
- YLANG YLANG – Exotic, intense and exciting. it's believed that its stimulating and healing properties can help in cases of impotence and frigidity. It can help dispel feelings of anger, jealousy and envy.
- CARDAMOM – Its aroma helps clear the mind and stimulates the appetite for love. Spicy and profoundly sensual in nature.
- CLARY SAGE – Seductive, sensual and mildly intoxicating, exhilarating and euphoric. Soothes stress and anxiety and helps to remove fears and emotional blocks allowing for a deeper communication between partners.
- GRAPEFRUIT – Instills self-confidence and positivity. It's tart scent invites playfulness and brightens up the day.
- MANDARIN – Fresh, young and playful. Mandarin adds joy and lightness to any aromatherapy blend. Enhances emotional well-being.
- LEMON – Stimulant, refreshing, restores the nervous system. Applied through massage, it can help to improve circulation. Adds joy and lightness to any aromatherapy blend.
Setting the stage for romance:
Romantic Ambiance:Preparing your space carefully can help ensure a peaceful and romantic evening or afternoon, one that is certain not to be forgotten for some time to come. Fill essential oil burner with water and add up to 10 drops of essential oils.
Romantic Bath:A soothing bath is the perfect prelude to your date. Fill bath with warm water, add 1/4 cup of sea salts or mountain salts mixed with up to 10 drops of essential oils and bathe by candlelight.
Romantic Massage:Massage is a gift of intimacy that will help to enhance communication, love and care. It's the perfect time to listen carefully to the needs and wishes of your partner. Mix 1 Tablespoon of carrier oil with up to 4 drops of essential oils. Apply small amounts of blend to the areas of the body you want to work, and enjoy.

Dior continues Guggenheim International Gala support
Dior is set to sponsor the Guggenheim International Gala for the third year running.
The fashion house, helmed by Raf Simons, is set to return to its regular post at the event in New York after previously collaborating with it in 2013 and 2014.
This year it's held on November 4 and 5 and will support the famous museum's ongoing operations, such as educational programmes and exhibitions.
Guests will enjoy a pre-party on the first night hosted by the Young Collectors Council. This is a leadership group comprised of individuals aged between 21 and 40, who are looking to understand contemporary art and culture better. The bash will draw in a younger crowd, with the likes of Canadian musician Grimes, real name Claire Boucher, performing.
On the second night a benefit dinner will be held to honour several artists. The late On Kawara, who passed away last July, is one of them, joining Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian and Doris Salcedo. All three have strong links to the museum and have had their work shown there.
Dior is said to have given the Guggenheim International Gala (GIG) a fresh feel since its involvement. Along with recruiting big music acts to perform, the fashion house has also roped in some A-list guests.
Last year famous names including Marion Cotillard, A$AP Rocky and Nicola Peltz - all dressed in Dior - joined in the celebrations.
The xx took to the stage and designer Raf was thrilled to have watched their performance.
"This is the first time I've met The xx in person," Raf smiled at the time. "I don't get to too many concerts because of my stupid, busy schedule. But I've loved The xx's music since the very beginning. They're huge in Belgium, you know."

Can I set up a Data Preview on the last page with Ajax?Asked by FelixM on June 13, 2014 at 01:00 PM
we are using your multi-stop form process. Over 4 form pages our users type in their data.
Now we are planning to implement a data preview on the last form page. For that we need all prior entered data.
Is there a way to receive all entered data on the last form page? Can we request it via ajax or is there a way to render it into the form (e.g. into hidden fields)?
Every idea is appreciated!
You can use prepopulated parameters and have this sent into hidden fields on your form at the end page.
When you said " data preview " did you mean to have a way to let your users preview it? Or was it going to be your intention to have that hidden anyhow since you later stated this about into " hidden fields "?
Alternatively, You could also just have a preview at the thank you page.
Additionally, I would like to point out as per this thread that many of our features use Ajax. You could try mixing it with the form's source code to create your own custom output if you have that sort of programming knowledge.
Hey there,
thanks for your response. What we want to do is show our customers a PDF (which can be generated with HTML) in the end with all the data filled in.
I see what you mean. We released a widget recently called Preview Before Submit, this widget will display entries when clicked. However, the preview is not in pdf format. The widget works along with pagebreaks which I believe is already added to your form. You can add the widget to the end of your form. You can find it under Widgets tab on the left navigation pane.
You can read more about Preview Before Submit widget HERE.
Let us know if you need further help.

Fettuccine Pasta With Mushroom & Cashew Sauce
Recipe by Jen T
This recipe which I found in a 'Healthy Eating' magazine, can be a main dish or a side dish with a simple meat dish eg. grilled steak or chicken breast. Serve as soon as cooked or the sauce will thicken too much on standing and will need thinning with a splash of hot water. Use more garlic if you like :) I do !!
Top Review by anonymous23
Very agreeable. I used oyster, cremini (baby bellas), shiitake, and white mushrooms. Next time, I'd use more--I prefer a more even ratio between the pasta and the veggies. I'll also use penne or some other bite-sized pasta, and I might consider using milk instead of water for the sauce--or something to make the sauce a little saucier, something that won't completely absorb into the pasta.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 500 g fettuccine
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red onion (diced)
- 1 garlic clove (chopped or use 1tsp crushed from a jar)
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 300 g mushrooms (sliced)
- 3⁄4 cup raw cashew nuts
- 1 cup warm water
- 1⁄4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
Directions See How It's Made
- Cook fettuccine acording to packet instructions or cook as instructed in recipe#30358.
- Heat oil in a large frypan and saute the onion & garlic until golden. (If using garlic from a jar add just before onion is cooked to save spitting).
- Add paprika and mushrooms and simmer uncovered until mushrooms are soft.
- Place cashew nuts, water and lemon juice in a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Stir cashew mixture into the mushrooms and heat through.
- Drain the cooked pasta and stir through the cashew and mushroom sauce and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.

Graduate Conference: Transformation in European History, Preconditions, Processes, Perceptions
6th Annual Graduate Conference in European History
Vienna | May 3–5, 2012
organised by the University of Vienna
Universität Wien, Historisch-Kulturwissenschaftliche Fakultät) in cooperation with the Central European University (CEU), Budapest and the European University Institute (EUI), Florence
The "transicion" of political systems in Southern Europe and Latin America since the 1970s and the revolutionary changes in Central and Eastern Europe in 1989/91 have resulted in the rise of "transformation studies" in the social sciences. The term transformation is commonly understood as the politically steered transition from communist dictatorship to democracy, from a planned to a market economy, and from a closed to an open society. In contrast to this teleological reading the 6th GRACEH conference intends to explore a historical approach to transformation. A very broad working definition of the term would characterize transformation as a "period of especially intense and accelerated structural changes on a political, social, economic, and cultural level" caused by major political and social upheavals such as the breakdown of the continental empires in 1918, the French Revolution in the late eighteenth century, or the Reformation. Unlike the social sciences, we wish to broaden the application as far back as to the beginning of modern age. In what way can this concept of transformation be applied to contemporary, modern and early modern contexts? What kind of adjustments of the concept are required for the historicization of transformation?

The changing experience of time in the long nineteenth century. Local, Regional, Transnational and Global Perspectives
Centre for Transnational History, University of St Andrews, 18-19 May 2012
When the Industrial Revolution began in Britain during the second half of the 18th century, there was a clear divide between the 'elite' and 'popular' perceptions of time; between the educated townspeople, who accepted the structure of mechanical time, and the rural workers who divided their years according to the almanac and the festive calendar. Yet, by the start of the 20th century, the Western perception of time had become pretty much streamlined. Anywhere on the globe, wherever Western industry spread its influence, bank managers and unskilled factory workers alike told time by the clock and accepted its evenly divided twenty-four hour structure both at work and at home.
The story of the 19th century's 'temporal revolution' is the story of the conflicts between science and religion, individuals and machines, villages and cities, local identity and standardization. It is also the story of the human experience of an industrial age of unprecedented growth and anxieties in which even a concept as universal as time could metamorphosize into something new.
The aim of this workshop is to explore the development of the modern experience of time from a variety of perspectives, not only across various disciplines but also on different spatial levels. The story of industrial time ranges from local micro histories that can focus in on a single town or individual, to broad macro histories of empires and corporations. It is a topic that bridges history, literature, and the sciences. Sharing ideas on how to link these perspectives, and these studies, can offer valuable insights into one of the most transformative, yet too often overlooked, aspects of life in a modern, industrialized society.
Possible themes and research questions could include, but are not limited to:
The shift from seasonal to mechanical time
~ In the age of Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution, why did it take so long for a mechanical solution to the pressing problem of finding longitude at sea to find acceptance? What challenges were involved? In what ways did new developments in precise, mechanical timekeeping affect the experiences of travelers, businesses, and shipping companies? How did early factory workers adapt to the demands of a life regimented by the factory clock?
The introduction of the geological or evolutionary time scale
~ What was the popular response to the clash between the new science of the 19th century and the traditional, Biblical view of time? In what ways did the scientific notion of an abstract, absolute timeline influence how the study of history was perceived and periodized during the long 19th century?
The experience of time in the newly industrialized environment
~ What effects did speed, structured time schedules, the telegraph, and the ubiquitous pocket watch have on public mentality? How did railways and other means of fast travel influence the development of cities, suburbs, and the concept of leisure time during the 19th century? What effect, if any, did the 'annihilation of space and time' caused by high-speed travel have on the public's experience and understanding of local and national culture and local and international borders? How did the introduction of photography and film affect the public perception of time?
The demand for standardized time in an industrialized economy
~ How did time become a tool for imperial interests and their expanding trading and communications networks? Who were the major players that pushed for standardized time? Was the need for standardized time universally accepted, or was there opposition? How does the 19th century's concept of standardized time compare with our 21st century understanding of time?
Rebellion against the regimentation of the clock
~ What were the psychological effects of life on a regimented time schedule? How did factory and other industrial workers cope, or fail to cope, with the demands of the clock? What outlets or recourse did they have? How did the push and pull of public and private time find expression in the art, literature, and anxieties of La Belle Époque? What is the origin of the modern image of time as an oppressor? How did the fight against the clock find expression in early cinema?
~ Could Reinhart Koselleck's concept of 'Sattelzeit' (saddling time) be pluralized? Were there specific periods and regions that experienced an unbalanced acceleration of time? This is an invitation for scholars in history and neighboring disciplines to share their interest in the history of time and the origins of our modern battle to beat the clock—or, at least, to tame it.
If you would like to present a paper at this workshop, please send a 300 word abstract to Marie Ventura (email@example.com) by 10 December 2011.
The workshop will be organized so that participants will not only have the opportunity to share their own research, but also to offer comments on the research of their peers. For this reason, papers should be sent two weeks in advance of the workshop date. Presentations should be about fifteen minutes long in order to leave time for a brief peer commentary and space for discussion and Q&A.

The Making of Landscapes in Modernity
Centre for Transnational History, University of St Andrews, 10/11 May 2012
The processes of industrialisation and urbanisation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries reshaped topographies across the globe and helped create a new polarity (perceived or otherwise) between the urban and the rural. This was often represented in art, which frequently idealised a bygone era of a rural past. In the process of this, nature was transformed into landscape. Furthermore, the emergence of nationalism and its corresponding polities made the search for the distinct character of certain states, countries, and regions imperative. Landscapes (local, regional, and transnational) became 'nationalised' as part of the quest for a national canon. However, some ruralist movements were often linked to primordial notions of nationhood, and also to more general ideas on modernity and the problems related to it. In this sense, there existed an interesting juxtaposition between the modern nature of nationalism and the pursuit for the old and established as manifested in landscapes. In addition, more remote regions became the object of desire for scientists, travellers, the state, intellectuals and others alike. They acted as canvasses onto which problems of late modern societies, ideas of nationally authentic characteristics, and images of the curious other were projected. While this discovery of landscape certainly played an important role for nationalism, it thus also acted as a vehicle for both regional and transnational images and debates on society and structures.
This workshop is therefore designed to bring scholars together with an interest in historical perspectives on landscape, especially – though not exclusively – in the 18th to 20th centuries. Participants are invited to ask a number of questions, which could include some of the following: Who were the main 'discoverers' of landscapes? How has landscape been represented? How has it been classified? Have different landscapes been treated as national, regional, or transnational spaces? What is national/regional/transnational about landscape(s)? What role have different ideologies ascribed to particular landscapes? What role have tourism and leisure played?
As a more general framework, participants may use the following categories (by no means comprehensive) to frame their papers:
(i) Debates on modernity and modernisation
(ii) Landscape and memory
(iii) Writing on landscape
(iv) Promoting the national canon
(v) Debates on the conservation of the natural
(vi) Tourism and landscape
(vii) Classifying landscape: Science
(viii) The meaning of landscape for ideologies
This workshop seeks to move the issue of landscape beyond a cultural geography by examining the changing meaning of landscape in history. We encourage scholars working across disciplines on the concept of landscape in the modern period to submit proposals (1-2 pages) for 20-30 minute presentations to James Koranyi (firstname.lastname@example.com) by 17th December 2011.
