Change the recipe of a glaze to increase its clay content (and thereby improve its suspending properties) while maintaining the same chemistry (and therefore fired results).
Welcome. In this lesson we are going to fix a problem with a settling glaze.
And if you are not sure of what that is, it refers to: A ceramic glaze that does not stay in suspension, it settles out in the bucket and it is very difficult to stir it back up.
Here is the glaze that I have been supplied.
I am going to copy it, then go into Insight, choose Interpret Clipboard from the menus and click OK.
A ceramic glaze is not a solution, it is a suspension. Simplistically, it is a bunch of rock powder stirred up in water.
Normally that powder should sink to the bottom immediately after you stop stirring.
But the clay in the mix holds all the other powders in suspension.
But at least 15% kaolin or 10% ball clay is needed for this to work.
This glaze has 2.5% bentonite, but no other clays. It needs kaolin.
Before continuing, notice that line containing the frit.
Insight has put an asterisk in front of it to signal us that it could not find this in the materials database.
To figure out what this frit is we will go to the Digitalfire Reference Library and search for it...
Notice it says it is a low alumina, high CaO boro-silicate frit.
At the bottom it links to Ferro Frit 3134 as an alternative.
So in Insight I will click the frit line and enter 3134 in the Materials List Lookup blank and click Update.
Notice that Insight has left the line label as frit 4108, but it is looking up the chemistry of frit 3134 to do the calculation of the chemistry.
How do we proceed?
In the other lessons we learned the best way is to copy it right to recipe 2, we can alter that and compare with the original on the left.
However in this case I tried that and it does not work!
The reason is that there is not very much Al2O3 in the glaze.
I will demonstrate that by opening a target formula for cone 6 to compare.
0.25 is the minimum and we have 0.23.
If I click the Supply button above the formula list, it will show me which material in the recipe is supplying the most Al2O3, it is soda feldspar.
The potash feldspar is going to be contributing a similar amount as well.
There will be almost no alumina coming from any of these other materials.
I will double-click the frit, it has zero alumnia, so the feldspars are the only two materials supplying alumina.
I am going to have to pretty well completely remove those two feldspars and start from scratch in supplying the boron from another frit that has alumina and the boron we need.
I will click recipe 2 and choose a calculation type of no-unity.
Whenever we build from scratch using the supply button we do this.
To start I have the frit 4108 line selected and I want to source boron from it. So I will click the Supply button.
I will check boron and then click Done. This matches up the B2O3.
It has supplied some of the KNaO that I needed (notice I have KNaO checked so Insight combines K2O and Na2O).
I am not going to be able to supply them individually and match them up, but as a total I can.
To supply KNaO I am going to introduce another frit. But which one.
I want one that has alot of K2O and Na2O but very little boron or alumina.
I will click the MDT button to see the materials database.
In frit 3110 we find almost no Al2O3 and a tiny amount of boron.
Notice it has lots of sodium and potassium as well.
I will close this dialog, select a blank line at the end of the recipe and enter frit 3110 in the Materials Lookup field and click Update.
I will click the Supply button. I cannot check the box for K2O and Na2O, but I will check just Na2O.
Notice I have 0.24 KNaO but I need 0.32. So I will increment the frit amount in the recipe and watch it until I get to 0.32.
Notice that in supplying the KNaO I have overshot the B2O3.
I will have to juggle the amount of these two frits, reducing the other and increasing this until I get a match.
I am not being really precise right now, an approximate match is sufficient.
Now I will supply the amount remaining for the CaO, I already have 0.27.
I will check the whiting line and then use the Supply dialog to source it.
I will supply the BaO from Barium Carbonate.
The only ones left to match are alumina and silica.
The alumina is very low, I will be able to supply all of that from Kaolin.
I will add EPK to the recipe, my experience is that it suspends glazes well.
In the supply dialog I will choose Al2O3 and click done.
To match the SiO2 I will choose Silica in the recipe and do likewise.
All the oxides now match.
Because I have been working in no-unity calculation type it totals more than 300.
I will retotal it to 100. The old recipe totalled 102.5 because of the 2.5 added bentonite, I am not using it here.
Notice also that in the old recipe there was copper carbonate and tin oxide.
I have ignored those, I just want to match the base glaze, they can be added later.
I will retotal it now using the ReTotal item in the menu.
Notice that I have 16 parts kaolin, that should suspend the glaze well.
If more suspending power is needed, some of that bentonite could be added back in.
Now notice that the numbers no longer match in the formula. Why?
If I set the calculation type back to RO Unity, they will again match.
Most people do not think chemistry impacts the raw properties of the glaze, the way the glaze slurry works, for example.
But we have created a different set of materials to source the same chemistry, and that set of materials has physical properties that are better.
Also, normally when we do major surgery like this it is to good to see if there are any other problems that could be resolved at the same time.
For example, barium carbonate powder is not the safest thing to use.
If you could find a barium sourcing frit that also had low alumina, you could work it into this recipe also.

I don't know why I bother with anything anymore. It's just pointless. Why I even renewed this blog is beyond me. The silence is deafening. I'm going to pack my bags, I think. At least that's how I feel right now.
Just talked to my mom about the trauma endured over the last half year and about how hurt and angry I am concerning everything – being hit, stolen from, lied to, manipulated, used, wrongfully accused, kicked out, 302'd, ignored, misunderstood all over again, yelled at, etc. And people wonder why I barely open up or they wonder why I lie. It's basically to protect myself because I know where my truth leads. You thought that string of truths this past 6 months was weird? My god, you've heard nothing. And I'm not the only one. I'm one of manyyyy.
I'm just at my wits end. I battle these thoughts everyday. Every minute, actually. I rarely smile n if I do, a powerful cry usually follows now because it really fucking hurts to remember feeling that good.
Her response? You should see the psychiatrist for anger medication, then. I was just expressing myself. It is pointless to open my mouth. That is one of the major reasons for my anger. People believing it's the only answer. I feel completely unheard and that's another reason. Your solutions and quick fixes are what's making it worse but no one can see that. I told her to stop praying for me. If I don't know that you care, your footprints in the sand don't mean anything to me. I'm sorry. Your silence, complacence and accusations are so very much louder.
I just feel that every single truth and bit of understanding I fought so fucking hard for last year, is just down the drain. I see nothing left but ashes. Nothing.
I'm just sick over everything.
Too much loss to even bother explaining.
Everything is futile.

About The Family
When you know more about the Hughes family of Louisville, Kentucky, you'll better understand why they were chosen to have Ty Pennington and the gang of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" designers renovate their house into a safer and more accessible home for their blind and handicapped son, Patrick Henry.
Patricia and Patrick John Hughes's eldest son, Patrick Henry, (19) was born without eyes and without the ability to fully straighten his arms and legs, leaving him unable to walk. The wheelchair-bound Patrick Henry has not let obstacles stand in the way of achieving his goals. Patrick Henry showed extraordinary abilities at a very early age despite his physical challenges.
Patrick Henry is an amazing pianist. By the age of two, the toddler could play songs on the piano after hearing them only once. The gifted young man is not only a university student, but also plays a wide array of musical instruments, is an accomplished singer, and an exuberant trumpet player in the University of Louisville School of Music Marching and Pep Band. The remarkable Patrick Henry has commented in previous interviews he feels he's "been blessed" and is grateful for his abilities.
His father, Patrick John Hughes, works a night shift so he can accompany his son to university classes during the day, providing visual aid to the eager student as needed. Inspired by his son's "can do" attitude, Patrick John also guides the wheelchair, keeping pace with the other 220+ marching band members during practice and game formations. So many of Patrick Henry's accomplishments are made possible with the additional, inexhaustible support of his mother, Patricia, and brothers, Jesse and Cameron.
Patrick Henry has been honored for his triumphs and has been featured on ESPN, Good Morning America, ABC Nightly News, and Sports Illustrated, among many others. He was also the winner of the 2006 Disney Wide World of Sports Spirit Award. Patrick Henry is a true inspiration to both those his age and to adults.
As a result of being in a wheelchair, it is difficult for Patrick Henry to maneuver through the Hughes' humble home. His wheelchair has done extensive damage to the walls, and the house is now in need of desperate help. With a huge hole in their bank account due to Patrick Henry's father's decision to stay at home during the day and care for Patrick's special needs, repairing the house is the last priority on the Hughes' agenda. It is now up to Ty and his gang to give this energetic and supportive family the dream home that they always deserved!

On Tuesday, U.S. Congressman Peter Roskam (R-IL) met with Illinois REALTORS® from his district at the Barrington Village Hall to discuss the implications of tax issues, patent trolling and government sponsored enterprises for real estate.
Roskam, who represents Illinoisans in the Sixth District, serves on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee where he strives to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse and reform the tax code to work better for business owners such as IAR members. REALTOR® and Illinois Federal Political Coordinator (FPC) Pat Callan of Wheaton helped run the meeting with Roskam's constituents.
Callan, the 2009 IAR President, and Roskam discussed key tax policy issues, including 1031 exchanges and the tax treatment of forgiven debt due to distressed sales. The Congressman shared our concerns that eliminating the deferral of tax on the gain in 1031 transactions could have negative implications in the commercial market. Additionally, he agrees with our position that taxing a person on income that is never realized simply doesn't make sense. He's shown his support by co-sponsoring HR 1002 – the Mortgage Forgiveness Tax Relief Act. This would extend the provision in the tax code that allows property owners who sold on a distressed sale to exclude the forgiven debt without having to declare it as income on their tax returns.
In response to a discussion about patent trolls led by Callan, Roskam said he was surprised at the level of negative impact on the real estate industry. Roskam supports finding a solution.

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — After celebrating winning the title in Brazil, new World Champion Jenson Button flew back to England on teammate Rubens Barrichello's private jet to celebrate with all the staff at Brawn's team headquarters near Silverstone.
"To be able to achieve the Constructors's and the Drivers's Championships in our first year, especially after such a difficult winter, is an amazing achievement," he said during a champagne toast with the staff. "It's been a rollercoaster of emotions."
"It's very sad that not everyone can be here who worked on this fantastic car," he added, referring to the layoffs the team had to make after Honda withdrew. "But the team had to become smaller to continue and together we produced a car that has been exceptional this season."

The 10 Tips For Eye Health
From proper sunlight to UV rays, here's the guide of the American Academy of Ophthalmology for a perfect view …
Although we often do not realize it, between UV rays, pollen and pollution, our eyes are subjected to constant stress. Not taking care of them can have consequences for the sight, sometimes even serious.
That is why the American Academy of Ophthalmology has put in place ten tips to safeguard the health of our eyes, starting with, first of all, a proper lifestyle.
Sunglasses against UV Rays
Using a pair of sunglasses can delay the onset of cataracts, a sight pathology that is characterized by pacification of the crystalline. The UV rays that directly affect the eye can, in fact, accelerate the development of this disease. In addition, sunglasses, capable of shielding 100% of UVA and UVB rays, can also protect the retina and skin around the eyes: exposure to UV rays, as well as accelerating skin aging, is a factor in risk for skin cancer.
No smoking
Among the many adverse effects that smoke has on our body, there is also age related macular degeneration. Those who smokes or smokes are more at risk of developing this disease, along with cataracts.
A good power
The American Academy of Ophthalmology emphasized the beneficial effects of carrots. But even vegetables can look good for the high content of vitamins and minerals. Due to a vitamin deficiency, in fact, the retina may lose its functionality. High levels of vitamin C and E, zinc, carotenoids (lutein and zaxantine), but also Omega-3 protect the eyes from the risk of developing macular degeneration associated with age.
Periodic oculist visits
American scientific society advises an adult who has no pathologies or vision or risk factors to go anyway from the 40-year-old oculist, the age at which the first signs of illness or visual disorder may appear. After this first inspection visit the specialist will evaluate the periodicity of further checks.

How to protect the eyes
The eyes, experts suggest, should always be protected when doing sports, when working, even when cleaning the home. They are a very delicate component of our body, sensitive to minimal contact or external agent. That is why it is necessary to use specific protective goggles.
Keep under checking hereditary
Many diseases that affect the eyes have a hereditary or genetic basis. These include cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma. That is why knowing about these cases in the family can be an incentive to undergo frequent specific controls.
Diagnosis and previous treatment
A timely diagnosis and early treatment can ensure greater chance of success in the treatment of diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration. To lose them, however, is supported by American experts, can lead to the inability to retrieve lost or compromised views.
Optic or Oculator?
Depending on the problem that comes from our eyes, you must contact the right specialist to have the best therapy. That is why first of all you need to know your problem in depth, through a thorough and accurate visit. Based on this, then see if it is best to turn to an optician or an ophthalmologist.
Attention to contact lenses
For those who use contact lenses it is important to make sure they are well cleaned. Using them in an inadequate way can, in fact, cause corneal ulcers, loss of vision and pain. Experts advise you to clean the containers every day with a toothbrush, sanitize it with a hand disinfecting soap and dry it, then brush your lenses and place them in a container filled with a new dose of saline solution.
Repeat eyes
For those who cannot do without smartphones and PCs it's important to remember a basic rule not to overlook the sight too. Every twenty minutes you have to look away from the PC and for another twenty seconds look at another object that is at least 6 feet from us. In addition, keep the screens at the right distance (at eye level), keep the screen clean and light up the environment in which you work.

Skeleton-Man is a multi-faceted art, dance and existentially themed project involving DJ entertainment, crowd interactive Dance performances, El Wire workshops, inspirational talks on the ultimate concerns of life and lightning paintings (a webshop is in the pipeline).
But it all started in 2004 when I attended the BOOM festival in Portugal and a young girl made an elaborate skeleton henna drawing on my hands. It was beautiful but also very fragile and within hours weather and dust had worn it out. Hence the idea of making a skeleton-suit Skeleton-Man that would survive the elements.
The first version of Skeleton-Man premiered the year after at the Sonica Festival in Italy courtesy of a good friend and since 2008 I started making my own suits.
But as you can tell the idea was born out of lights, music and dance and these themes continue to be the cornerstones of Skeleton-Man. So far they have taken Skeleton-Man all around the world from Universo Paralello in Brazil to several Burning Man festivals in USA, festival in Southern Europe, Berlin, The Netherlands, Roskilde Festival and countless festivals and events in Copenhagen and beyond.
I suspect it is the universal symbol a skeleton embodies that makes Skeleton-Man so appealing. On the one hand, a skeleton reminds us of death. On the other hand, a colourful and dancing skeleton is very much alive and so almost seem to mock or even defy death.
From being a One-Man Artist and DJ operation Skeleton-Man expanded in 2017 to include a Dance Crew that draws on both professional and amateur dancers from many different dance styles. All share one thing, though: The love of dance and movement and the unstoppable eagerness to include as many as possible in our circle of dance.
"No matter the reason, I've learned that Skeleton-Man appeals across all cultures, sex and age. I guess there is just something about a skeleton that is hard to ignore. Serious and silly at the same time, I think the appeal of Skeleton-Man is that he suggests an alternative way to think of the certainties of life while reminding us to have FUN!"
Behind Skeleton-Man is Master of Law, Michael Wolffhechel, that has been developing Skeleton-Man since 2004.

A correct encryption key is regenerated as you select the correct pass-symbols, and is destroyed when the encrypt/decrypt operations are over.
You are going to have your secret data encrypted for mobile computing.
How do you protect the encryption key for it?
Should the encryption key be stolen or known by a third party, it is obvious that your secret could no longer be protected by encryption.
There is a solution in our brain - sweet episode memory.
We should be able to make use of that resource of our own for re-generating the encryption key which had been destroyed into non-existence. Nobody can steal something that does not exist.
The solution is CryptoMnemo.
You need only to drag and drop the file(s) and folder(s) onto CryptoMnemo icon for encryption and decryption.
All the files in the specified folders will be either encrypted or decrypted.
The encryption key goes through the cycle of generation, use, deletion, re-generation, use, deletion, re-generation- - - - - - -
Your memory is used as an encryption key.
Security is ensured as long as your memory remains a secret.
An encryption key is automatically generated by personal verification based on long-term visual memory (sweet old images) performed by Mnemonic Guard.
The encryption key does not exist except during the encryption or decryption process after verification.
No restriction on replication after the initial setup (finalization of the encryption key)
The software and the data can be copied together to other memory devices and the PCs. These copies serve as the backup against a loss of the U3 Smart Drive.
Set image passwords introduced instead of conventional passwords that consist of characters
(The image passwords are referred to as "pass-symbols" in this manual )
Personal verification system based on long-term visual memory (sweet old image)
You are unlikely ever to fail to reproduce the encryption key. You have only to select the images you had long remembered.
Stress-free verification process:
The sort of errors that you are likely to make are permissible and you can keep trying again and again.
Attacker detection:
The sort of wrong input that you are unlikely to make will be determined to have been made by an attacker and rejected at an early stage.
Unlimited combinations of personal photos and illustrations to create pass-symbols:
Register your memorable images as pass-symbols for verification and mix them with unfamiliar images. You will never fail to find your pass-symbols.
A redundant loop (child lock) with a pseudo-verification screen is optionally provided as a relief measure in case the illegal access detection function has been triggered by absent-minded mistake or by a mischievous child.
The software stops operation when the use is finally deemed unauthorized.
Mix your heart-warming photos with unmoving ones.
To pass the personal verification, simply find those favourite images.
If you want to try a quick start, you can choose as many images as you find familiar or that are linked with memorable events on a template verification screen.
You could associate the selected images with a story made of your own pleasant experience you have long remembered.
Two of such examples are shown below.

Air Force goaltender JEFF TORF, the highly-experienced senior from Hermosa Beach, California, who has already appeared at the prestigious NCAA men's ice hockey tournament twice in his career, bounced back from a tough weekend in Alaska by blocking 59 of 62 shots faced in a pair of contests with traveling Penn State at the Cadet Ice Arena.
A shorthanded goal seven and a half minutes into the final frame snapped a scoreless deadlock and an insurance tally less than three minutes later allowed a motivated AIR FORCE squad to defeat visiting PENN STATE 3-1 and complete the sweep of the two-game weekend series in Colorado Springs.
Prior to the return match on Saturday night, Penn State head coach GUY GADOWSKY made several changes to the overall line-up in addition to tinkering with the Nittany Lions' different line combinations, as well. As could have been expected, sophomore MATT SKOFF replaced the unspectacular freshman EAMON MCADAM in between the PSU pipes for the second contest with Air Force. Canadian legionnaire MIKE WILLIAMSON, another newcomer of the Nittany Lions who, like McAdam, had been drafted by a National Hockey League club last summer and had made his official NCAA collegiate debut in the 5-2 loss to the Falcons on Friday night, lost his place on the Penn State blue line for fellow freshman DAVID THOMPSON, the homegrown defenseman from Glen Mills.
MICHAEL MCDONAGH, the hard-working senior from Wilmington, Massachusetts, who skated in 23 varsity games (1 go, 7 pts, + 1 def rating) for Penn State last season, made his first appearance of this new 2013/14 campaign at right wing on the fourth line. And RICKY DEROSA, the homegrown freshman from Aston, Pennsylvania, made his collegiate debut by centering the fourth line which also Penn State captain TOMMY OLCZYK. Making way on the Nittany Lions' team sheet were two freshmen forwards, left wing DAVID GOODWIN and center DYLAN RICHARDS.
The trio of right wing MAX GARDINER (27), center TAYLOR HOLSTROM (28) and left wing CASEY BAILEY (18) emerged as Penn State's number one forward line and, collectively, totaled 26 goals (Bailey 14, Holstrom 9, Bailey 3) to account for a little more than one-third of all Nittany Lions' scoring last term … after Penn State's first thee contests to begin this brand new 2013/14 NCAA campaign, all three players comprising this important unit are each still to bulge the back of the net for the first time this season.
Penn State, who certainly have one of the bigger teams in all of college ice hockey, immediately sought to establish a physical presence at both ends of the rink right from the outset of Saturday night's tilt with Air Force. This would prevail all throughout the contest, even after the Nittany Lions' Canadian legionnaire JONATHAN MILLEY, the gigantic (6'4″ 245 lbs) sophomore left wing from Gatineau, Quebec, went to the penalty box for slashing only 26 seconds into the match. And it was one that seemed to benefit Penn State, who, after looking a little bit tired on Friday night (as observed and reported by the Air Force radio announcers) were able to skate with the Falcons on level on level, albeit scoreless, terms for more than two periods.
The game, itself, quickly developed into a bona fide duel between the two netminders facing each other at opposite ends of the rink. The Penn State goaltender Skoff, who had come into this match fashioning a resume of seven wins against two losses in his last nine starts (2.44 avg, .922 save pct), had to be sharp early and, ultimately, was called upon to make 15 saves in the first period alone. Meanwhile, the Nittany Lions came into the game more and more as time passed on and would find themselves outshooting Air Force 27-25 after two periods of play.
It is to Air Force goaltender JEFF TORF's enormous credit that Penn State did not get on the scoreboard ahead of its hosts; particularly towards the end of the second period, Torf came up with quality saves including a point-blank denial of Nittany Lions left wing CASEY BAILEY, the dangerous sophomore from Anchorage, Alaska, who led the fledgling NCAA varsity program in scoring last season (27 ga, 14 go, 27 pts, +3 def rating).
Air Force right wing GEORGE MICHALKE (18) appeared in only five NCAA contests last season before suffering a devastating check from behind against Canisius College in Buffalo that left the diminutive (5'11″ 165 lbs) Falcon skater with a serious concussion that resulted in Michalke sitting out the remainder of the 2012/13 campaign.
Penn State were presented a glorious opportunity when Air Force right wing RYAN DAU, a freshman from Hudson, Wisconsin, received a minor penalty for high sticking almost five minutes into the final period. But, with time winding down on the power play, Falcons left wing RYAN TIMAR, the senior from Novi, Michigan, made a diving play to poke the puck out of his own defensive zone and then led a charge up ice. This shorthanded rush culminated with a wide-open GEORGE MICHALKE, the redshirt junior right wing from Parma, Ohio, sending Air Force out in front 1-0.
Less than three minutes later, the Falcons' most leathal forward line struck to increase Penn State's woes as right wing COLE GUNNER buried a one-time blast to score his second goal in as many nights against the visiting Nittany Lions. An undersized (5'9″ 170 lbs) junior from Richfield, Minnesota, who shot seven goals in 37 games for Air Force last season, is now in the midst of a modest three-game goal-scoring streak at present. CHAD DEMERS, the junior center from Grafton, North Dakota, earned an assist on the play and enjoyed a very productive weekend, himself, with a goal and five points in the two-game set with Penn State.
With Torf in such fine form, it was Gunner's strike that left the Nittany Lions with a genuine mountain to climb.
Michalke officially confirmed the result by netting his second goal with a rebound at the 16:41 mark of the third period. This prompted the Penn State head coach Gadowsky to replace his netminder with a sixth attacker on the ice and, surprisingly, the play worked almost immediately, as well. It was DeRosa, the 21-year-old freshman who is the product of Cardinal O'Hara HS in Philadelphia that played for the Port Huron Fighting Falcons in the North American Hockey League last season, who finally spoiled Torf's shutout bid and notched his first collegiate goal in the process.

Microsoft has clearly favored promoting SharePoint Online over on-premises SharePoint. However, the age of SharePoint 2016 on-premises is fast approaching, bringing tighter integration with Office 365/SharePoint Online.
Microsoft explains the value this way:
- SharePoint Online is part of a Go-to Office Anywhere.
- Microsoft is responsible for the infrastructure and application upgrades and changes.
- Security is built into SharePoint Online, and in the near future it will include content encryption.
- SharePoint Online is feature-rich and integrated with the Office 365 ecosystem, which includes the Office Suite, Yammer, Power BI, and more.
Indeed, using SharePoint Online is compelling. The reduced time, effort and costs for infrastructure alone can provide a return on investment for many organizations. Still, many organizations ignore some critical considerations before moving to SharePoint Online:
- Does all of your content even belong in SharePoint Online? In reality, no medium to large sized organization can, or will, move all content to SharePoint Online. Legal, regulatory, and compliance requirements will make it difficult to move all content to SharePoint Online.
- Can SharePoint Online support your internal business processes? Many companies are moving simple collaboration sites to SharePoint Online, but what about custom built applications that integrate with internal systems as part of business processes?
- Will SharePoint Online resolve findability and sprawl problems? In and of itself, it will be just as easy to have the same issues in SharePoint Online that currently exist with SharePoint on-premises.
- Can I custom-brand SharePoint Online? Branding SharePoint Online is more difficult than branding SharePoint on-premises, as branding changes online may be broken by Microsoft updates.
The reality is that in most cases, only smaller companies will move to a pure SharePoint Online environment. If an organization is not ready to fully commit to SharePoint online because of legal/privacy concerns for some data, custom applications that are too difficult to move to Cloud, or for other reasons, there are two options.
Stay on-premesis
Go hybrid
A hybrid model is one in which SharePoint Online is used for some purposes and content, and SharePoint on-premises is used for other purposes and content. For SharePoint 2016, the path ahead is a hybrid one - where the on-premises version is extended by cloud-only features, with the value of shifting from on-premises to cloud over time escalating as the path widens.
The Hybrid Value of SharePoint
On January 20, 2016, Microsoft announced that SharePoint Server 2016 and Project Server 2016 Release Candidate were available.
Building on Microsoft's announcement of SharePoint Server 2016 Beta 2 in November 2015, Microsoft was pleased to announce the availability of SharePoint Server 2016 Release Candidate (RC).
SharePoint Server 2016 RC is mostly feature complete and represents an important milestone for customers looking to deploy and evaluate SharePoint Server 2016 before general availability in Spring 2016.
As Microsoft shares: The collaboration and communication platform that helps organizations worldwide achieve more is SharePoint. And with a hybrid deployment of SharePoint, enterprises can be connected from almost anywhere to the resources and content need to collaborate and function at peak efficiency.
To date, over 5,000 customers have downloaded the SharePoint Server 2016 previews, which, through Microsoft customer feedback, resulted in a high-quality Release Candidate. SharePoint Server 2016 is Microsoft's most reliable, scalable, secure and high-performant server release ever. With built-in hybrid cloud capabilities, it is a premier choice for organizations looking to take advantage of the latest innovations in Microsoft Cloud offerings while also maintaining critical content or custom applications on-premises.
What's Next?
SharePoint Server 2016 will help organizations unlock breakthrough performance and resiliency as well as quickly build solutions and extend data across on-premises and Office 365 with the confidence that their data will be safe and secure.

Palm Garden (Palmengarten)
The 'Palm Garden' (Palmengarten) was founded in 1868
by the people of Frankfurt.The botanic collection was essentially
made up of a series of tropical plants that were bought from
the Nassau dukedom. In order to house these plants, a Palm
house was built, made of steel and glass, resembling a tropical
jungle. The 29 hectares of outdoors facilities and 10,000m2
of covered surface area of the 'Palm Garden' are among one
of the most frequently visited Botanical Gardens in Europe.
Today, the old Palm house holds subtropical
flora. The tropicarium shows eight biotope communities from
dry and humid tropical regions. Great collections of plants,
palms, orchids, pineapples, cactuses and insectivore plants,
azaleas and camellias as well as Fuchsias form a part of the
rich diversity of this garden.

November 06, 2015 07:55 ET
EAST AURORA, NY--(Marketwired - Nov 6, 2015) - Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A) (NYSE: MOG.B) announced today fourth quarter sales of $623 million, down 7%. Full year 2015 sales were $2.53 billion, down 5%. More than half of these decreases were due to foreign currency effects.
Net earnings in the quarter were $28 million and earnings per share were $.75 compared with the prior year's fourth quarter EPS of $.93, and compared with the Company's forecast of $.91. The current quarter's results included $.13 of incremental restructuring and impairment costs and $.04 of higher tax expense than forecasted, resulting in operating results coming in very close to the Company's forecast. Net earnings for the year were $132 million, down 17%. Earnings per share of $3.35 were $.17 lower than last year.
Cash flow from operating activities was very strong in the quarter and for the year, continuing the strong pattern of recent years.
Aircraft segment sales in the quarter were $275 million, down 3% from a year ago. Commercial aircraft revenues were off 5%, to $130 million, with slower business jet and commercial aftermarket sales offset by increasing Airbus sales. Military aircraft sales were unchanged at $145 million, with higher OEM sales offsetting lower aftermarket sales.
For the year, Aircraft segment sales were $1.1 billion, 3% lower year over year. Commercial aircraft sales of $540 million were down 1%. Commercial aftermarket sales of $118 million were off 9%, mostly due to lower demand for initial provisioning of 787 spares. Airbus sales were 20% higher on the A350 production ramp up.
Military aircraft sales in the year were down 4% on lower foreign military OEM sales and slowing development work on the KC-46 tanker program. Military aftermarket sales of $210 million were off 6%, mainly due to the wind down of the C-5 Super Galaxy modernization program.
Space and Defense segment sales in the quarter were $93 million, down 4% from a year ago. Space sales were off 16% as work on NASA programs slowed. Defense sales were 9% higher, mostly on sales increases for military vehicles.
Space and Defense segment sales for the year were $381 million, down 3%. Space sales were $193 million, down 12%, as work on the Space Launch System and Soft Capture programs slowed. Defense sales were 8% higher, at $189 million, on strong sales of missile controls, ground vehicle systems and naval programs.
Industrial Systems segment sales in the quarter were $128 million, down 13%. Sales for the year were $522 million, 12% lower. Most of the decline in the quarter and the year were tied to foreign currency effects. Excluding currency effects, full year industrial automation sales were slightly higher and sales for simulation and test were about even. Energy sales, excluding foreign currency effects, were down 10% on lower sales of controls for power generating equipment.
Components segment sales in the quarter were $102 million, down 13% on weaker energy sales. Sales for the year were $437 million, down 3%. Non-aerospace and defense sales were down 6%, as products sold into energy markets were down 26% year over year. Aerospace and defense sales were up 2% on increases in military aircraft activity and defense controls sales.
The medical OEM sensor and handpiece business, previously part of the Medical Devices segment, has been transferred to the Components segment. All numbers have been restated and are comparable. Fiscal 2015 sales for this product line were $25 million.
Medical Devices sales in the quarter were $24 million, down 5%, on weaker IV sales. Medical Devices segment sales for the year were $99 million, a 3% increase. IV product sales, including sales of administration sets, were $41 million, up 16%. Sales of enteral pumps and administration sets were $55 million, up 3%.
Year-end 12-month backlog was $1.3 billion.
The Company affirmed its EPS projection for fiscal 2016 at $4.00.
"Fiscal '15 was a challenging year for our company across multiple fronts," said John Scannell, Chairman and CEO. "In the face of these challenges, we delivered solid earnings and record cash flow. We are projecting a stronger fiscal '16 with earnings per share of $4.00, up 19% on sales growth of about 2%."
In conjunction with today's release, Moog will host a conference call beginning at 10:00 a.m. ET, which will be broadcast live over the Internet. John Scannell, Chairman and CEO, and Don Fishback, CFO, will host the call. Listeners can access the call live or in replay mode at www.moog.com/investors/communications.

Tuesday 28 February 2012 – First song of the day is, 'Thunder in the Mountains' (Take the Leap! version) by Toyah. I've been a fan ever since I first heard the Sheep Farming EP.
People who've read my diary 'Kia Ora Mr Shakespeare' about my time touring two Shakespeare plays in New Zealand know how important songs from Toyah were while I was there. (Kia Ora is due out on Kindle soon).
I walk down to the sandwich shop and purchase a bacon and egg sandwich, and as I walk back another Toyah track shuffles to the fore; this time, 'Wife' from the excellent imaginative, 'Prostitute' album.
Breakfast over, I drive into town. I'm just approaching a junction and so slow down, when out of nowhere five women cross in front of my car without even looking. I sound the horn as I stop, causing five pairs of eyes to peer from beneath their hijab, after tossing me a cursory glance, the five women continue to drift across the road.
I continue on my journey, and am turning a corner when a woman with a pushchair steps off the pavement and crosses in front of me again causing me to stop. I park in town and switch on the iPod, I'm going about my day when the screeching saxophone indicates another Toyah song is starting, this time it's my all time favourite, 'Neon Womb'.
Later as I'm reversing out of my parking bay, despite my being almost completely out another car drives straight past me, swerving to avoid me, and to boot he beeps his horn at me. I plug in my iPod and it obviously favours Toyah today, as I drive home 'Insects' from the live album Toyah, Toyah, Toyah plays.
Just as I pull into the road where I'm staying at the moment, a dog shoots out in front of me; the dog is closely followed by a teenager, resplendent in trackie bottoms and hoody. Neither man nor beast give me a glance as I apply the brakes, confirming my suspicions; that today I am driving an invisible car.
By the way I also had Toyah's song 'Angel and Me' playing when I got married.

We believe that you should have control of your assets, not your advisers. We believe that the job and the mission of a family office is or should be to give you a complete picture of your wealth any time you want it in a way that maximizes YOUR control and confidentiality.
Any Family Office Software should make that job easier both for the wealthy client and the people charged with executing the duties required.
When I looked closely, all the available software packages designed for the Family Office were really geared to making the investment and tax advisers look good but did little to make the day to day functions easy, OR provide a truly comprehensive view of one's wealth and its performance over time.
The greatest threat to one's wealth is not taxes or investment performance, but those activities and assets for which there is no structure for tracking and accountability. Such things as an increase in value of an asset without adequate or any insurance, non tax transaction or investments, improperly structured trusts, household expenses for which there is no budget or reporting and limited partnerships with no structure for regular reporting. The list goes on and on.
Most people who decide to have their own Family Office, or use the services of a Multi-Family Office, assume that the people hired to deliver the service will be able to provide a complete comprehensive picture. But they don't. Not really. Not in the typical Single or Multi-Family Office. In fact it is virtually impossible for them to do so for the simple reason that there is no benchmark of best practices, no real blueprint for setting up a truly client centered Family Office. Each one just kind of evolves starting with basic bookkeeping and accounting functions, bringing in an investment adviser, etc. If you want to open a McDonald's, there's a blueprint. It works in LA, in New York, even Beijing with some cultural modifications. But in contrast there is NO blueprint for setting up a typical Family Office let alone a truly independent, client centered one. Yet that is what the wealthy client wants – truly personal service and attention.
The wealthy client thinks that if they bring all their advisers under one roof, they'll get better service. Meaning they'll no longer be in the dark, uncertain about what they have and how it's performing. They'll be able to pick up the phone and finally get some answers. They won't get blindsided. They finally get back their control.
They think that the source of the problem is lack of adviser focus. But in REALITY, since they draw their personnel from the investment and tax community, they bring "in-house" the same structure and philosophy that under-delivered before, with the added operational costs and employee expense.
The real source of the problem is NOT that the advisers are focused on multiple clients though that is certainly a contributing factor. The real problem is that their focus is on their particular area of investment, tax exposure, estate planning or contracts, regardless of how many clients they may have. They are not trained in or concerned with those areas that are not their specialty. There is a whole area that for them is not on the radar. The investment adviser could care less about the horse farm except how it fits in with his/her portfolio strategy. This area of non investment, non tax-related activity (possessions, travel, daily expenses, collections, food, salaries, fees etc. often referred to as "Back Office") is where most of a person's wealth and wealth activity exists.
For the tax or investment pro, those who usually command the highest salaries in a typical Family Office, the back office is a tedious, boring necessity. It is also the biggest area of expense, which is why most multi-family offices started out as Single Family Offices (Rockefeller, Mellons etc.) and they opened their doors in the mistaken belief that they could spread the expense across multiple clients. But experience has proven that back office cost expands in proportion to the increase in clients, similar to cost of sales (True Cost of Sales, as distinct from Cost of Goods Sold, often increases faster than profit when there is rapid growth in a business).
The chart shows that activity in non tax-related and non-investment assets constitute over half of the wealth related activity tracked in a family business. This activity is commonly poorly tracked, and some of it not at all, or relegated to miscellaneous expense rendering it immune from any kind of effective management.
Add to that the question of control and preservation of any documentation associated with a transaction, vital to the verification and ownership of that transaction/asset, as well as compiling and managing all such documentation related to things like insurance, contracts, art inventory, agent/provider contact information, etc. How will you get what you need when you need it?
Because the back office and document management functions are so time and labor intensive, they constitute the biggest variable expense for any Family Office. Expanding to include other families into a Multi-Family Office very soon results in needing more personnel and operating costs again go up. There are very real limits to this strategy. Since there are no metrics for measuring the ROI of the office other than from the investment portfolio, this operating cost is seen as an expense rather that an investment in the overall management of one's wealth. Thus the back office and records management are rarely if ever a core competency for the typical Family Office. Yet it is the VERY FOUNDATION of true wealth management. Without it one can NEVER get a true picture of what's going on.
OTHER COMPONENTS DWIMBS PHILOSOPHY: We believe the job of a Family Office is to provide:
1. A complete, accurate and reliable "Big Picture" of their client's wealth as well as all the necessary details for any asset or group of assets. This should include not just activity history, but also change over time and all related documentation whenever needed.
2. Safe guard those assets by interfacing and being accountable directly to the wealthy client and being independent of other advisers.
3. Manage the day-to-day activities and transactions in such a way that nothing gets overlooked or falls through the cracks and advisers get the accurate, reliable data they DO need to do their job the best.
4. Provide strategic insight to empower you to direct your adviser relationships rather than leave it all up to them.
We look at Personal Wealth as if it were a Business vs. a Collection of Possessions, Investments and Expenses. Because of this we employ a different set of tools and measures for managing wealth activities and status.
The critical success factor in any financial strategy is records management. Without accurate and comprehensive tracking and reporting, even the best-laid plans under-perform or fail outright. What the true purpose of a Family Office should be:
– Function as a personal CFO
– Safe guard assets
– Ensure data and documentation integrity for all assets and related transactions
– Give client a truly complete, factual, objective view of all asset status and performance
– Be independent of all other advisers, but support and ensure that information advisers need to
have is accurate and factual.
Created to meet the specialized needs and demanding standards of investment bankers, DWIMBS offers a combination of confidentiality, control, and asset protection beyond the means of traditional accounting, financial planning, or family office service.
Over $1 Million and 15 years of real world testing and use went into the creation of this system. Our system is designed to make the most complex assets and transactions easy to manage and to give you a totally complete, accurate and independent picture of your assets and their performance.

House Ethics Committee Investigating Congressman Rod Blum
WASHINGTON, DC — The US House of Representatives' Committee on Ethics is reviewing an alleged violation of rules by Iowa Congressman Rod Blum.
Chairwoman Susan Brooks, an Indiana Republican, and Ranking Member Theodore Deutch, a Florida Democrat, announced the inquiry on Tuesday. Their committee will investigate whether or not Blum violated House ethics rules when he failed to disclose his ownership of a digital marketing company named 'Tin Moon'.
According to Roll Call, the company specialized in helping individuals and companies that had violated FDA safety violations by hiding that news on internet search results beneath positive news. The company's website included a false testimonial from one of Blum's top staffers in Washington.
Congressman Blum released a lengthy statement in response to the announcement of the inquiry. Despite the fact it comes from a bipartisan committee, Blum says Democrats in Washington and in Iowa for the inquiry.
"Abby Finkenauer, Nancy Pelosi, and the radical left have realized they can't compete in the arena of issues and ideas. That is why they have waged a crusade of personal destruction on me and other principled leaders working to drain the swamp in Washington – this is the Swamp fighting back.
Rather than present solutions, the Democratic elite aim to destroy their opponents' reputations through distortions. In my case they scream "ETHICS VIOLATION!" over a clerical error on a form. Once this minor error was brought to my attention, I immediately self-reported to the Ethics Committee and apologized. Even the House Committee on Ethics states that administrative oversights on financial disclosures are not uncommon, and between 30-50 percent of all reports reviewed by the Committee contain errors. Still, the complicit media continues to take its cues from the Democratic party and they work to make mountains out of molehills in order to deliver an election scandal headline.
Fortunately, the American public and Iowans are wise enough to see through this. And certainly it is ironic that my opponent Abby Finkenauer, who was found GUILTY of her own ethics violations in the state of Iowa, is being afforded a platform by her party to maliciously accuse me on the same front. Clearly these accusations are a result of the left's diminishing relevance to the average American family."
The announcement from the Committee on Ethics says the inquiry does not indicate a violation has occurred. The committee plans to announce its findings in "on or before December 17th". That will be six weeks after the 2018 elections.

About Me
2 June 2012
I have been developing, designing and managing iOS applications since 2011. I blog about technology, primarily Apple. Since 2013, I have contributed to the Apple news cycle at 9to5Mac. This personal blog focuses more on design and my perspective on the state of the industry. Please follow me on Twitter (@bzamayo) for the same personality and honest opinion in a bitesize form.
I spend most of my time working on client iOS apps. I am currently seeking new projects to work on, so please get in touch if you a project in mind. In addition, I develop three iOS applications of my own, Daily Dictionary, Bingo Machine and Visual Codes. You can find my open source efforts on Github.
I graduated from university with a degree in economics. I originally planned to work in high finance, but I loved technology too much and fostered my own iOS business whilst studying.
Freelance And Contract iOS Developer
I have led development of many iOS apps over the years, and am always looking for something new to tackle. Here's some of my past work:
- 9to5Toys. Off the back of the success of the 9to5Mac app, I was hired again to bring 9to5Toys to iOS. I rebuilt the 9to5Mac on a common shared core, so that both 9to5Mac and 9to5Toys iOS share most of their codebases. Future work can be seamlessly deployed to both apps without repetitive code duplication.
- 9to5Mac — Breaking Apple News. Solely led engineering, design and development of 9to5Mac's premier app for their news coverage. The product features the latest support for the iOS SDK, push notifications, Today view widget, subscriptions and more.
- Circuit: Route Planner. Built a pure Swift native application of an existing Android application. This app manages some rich cloud-synced state and integrates many components into a single screen. This required significant plumbing and forethought to keep the codebase sane and maintainable.
- Logic Puzzles Daily. Based on mockups and graphics assets provided by the client, I developed the complete codebase and brought the project to fruition. This included advanced Game Center achievements integration, a silent puzzle update mechanism and a completely-custom game grid canvas.
- Cloudier. The first version of this app was solely developed by me and received much critical acclaim upon release. It went on to be bought out by CloudApp as the official first-party client.
- Gluten Free Me. As a contractor for the company, I took design prototypes though to finished product with this beautiful iPad recipe app, featuring custom controls, rich interaction and deep Store Kit In-App Purchase integration. The flexible codebase was also repurposed into a cocktails app.
- Turbulence Forecast. Based on design spec, I engineered the entire application myself. This includes integration with mapping databases, an accelerometer-driven G-Force readout, tip patronage system and more.
I offer competitive rates and day-to-day flexibility. I am a contract iOS developer based in the UK but am accustomed to taking on remote projects from around the world. The same passion that goes into making this blog is also imbued into every development project I do. I'm proud of my work, in whatever form it takes.
Contact me to discuss your needs.

There were an estimated 8,000 Slovaks living in Britain at the time the country was created in 1999 by the break up of Czechoslovakia. In 2004 Slovakia joined the European Union and they now represent the fastest growing foreign-born group living and working in the UK.
An estimated 52,000 Slovakians are now resident in Britain. It represents a six times fold increase in the Slovakian population in Britain but more alarmingly it is the equivalent to 1% of the total population of the country.
The number of Latvian has grown from about 7,000 to an estimated 39,000 in the same period and the number from Romania, which joined the EU later, has risen from an estimated 14,000 in 2004 to 53,000 today.
Eight more Eastern European countries, and of course Turkey, are in line to join the European Union by 2018. Eastern European Workers are often paid below what a British worker would have been paid, they work long hours and accept difficult working conditions.
The reality is that they have added enormously to the competition that British workers face and are one reason why since 1997 a huge proportion of new jobs created in the UK have gone to foreign born workers.
