For many companies, their success depends to a very great extent on having the right people doing the right jobs. Once you have found those key people, how do you retain and incentivise them for the long term?
Getting your reward structure right can give you a competitive advantage. How you tackle the challenge will depend on your current stage of development and your strategy for growth.
There is a lot of data suggesting that the right share scheme, which offers employees the opportunity to acquire shares in their employer company, incentivises employees to stick with the business and help make it a success.
First Steps
There are several different schemes to consider, but the eligibility or otherwise of your company for one type of scheme or another isn't usually the best place to start.
To begin with, you must ask yourself several key questions, and the most important of these is always "does the proposal make commercial sense?"
When it comes down to detail, you have a lot to decide. For instance:
- Will you gift the shares or require that employees pay full value for them?
- Are the selected employees really interested in the long-term future of the company or is cash reward their key motivation?
- Will your employees understand if you want to grow the value of the company so it can be sold?
- Will the employees be more interested in their own long-term job security?
- Do you know what your company is worth to a prospective new shareholder?
There are many issues to be resolved because for a scheme to work, employer and employee need to have goals that are broadly aligned. We can help you to resolve these issues.
What type of scheme?
Share schemes really come in two types – tax-advantaged and non-tax-advantaged. The tax-advantaged schemes are those that are specifically recognised by legislation, and therefore, enjoy a number of tax benefits like not paying income tax or national insurance on their value.
At TaxAssist Accountants, we can help you to work through the implications from each scheme so that you choose the one that is right for you.

Discover Penzance
Our recommendations
These have been hand-picked by our skilled and knowledgeable local experts
Discover Penzance
Famous for its pirates, well the singing variety anyway, Penzance is a historic port on the south facing shores of Mount's Bay and has one of the mildest climates in the UK. One of the striking things about the town is the abundance of palm trees and gardens full of sub-tropical plants, a sure sign that you have arrived somewhere unique made even more special by the sight of St Michael's Mount out to sea that seems to hover magically over the water. Wander the town's streets and you'll come across the fabulously decorated Egyptian House, the statue of local hero Sir Humphry Davy (pioneer of mine safety) and art galleries, book sellers and new age shops which add a slightly bohemian feel to the town while down at the harbour boat trips, sea safaris and fishing excursions provide some great seaborne activities.

In Nedousa, in the southern Peloponnese, an agricultural carnival takes place every year on Clean Monday (Kathari Deftera). This custom has its roots in antiquity according to descriptions by the poet Hesiodos. It is a kind of "popular theatre" consisting of a series of acts "performed" by a group of people dressed up as goats with bells around their waists to ward off evil spirits, and secure good luck and prosperity for the village.
Apart from being an ancient ritual, what really makes this carnival unique is its interaction with the visitors, who are invited to take actively part in all the acts, to put on traditional disguises, and to celebrate as the ancient sounds of daoúli and floyéra echo throughout this evergreen village. Join in an interactive spectacle in which you mingle with the locals, follow ancient ceremonies, taste Lenten delights absolutely free of charge, and drink "koutsavítiko" (a Greek varietal) wine!

JOHANNESBURG - Nigeria will be trying to lift the African Cup trophy again after nearly two decades when it faces a Burkina Faso team hoping for an upset and its first major title on Sunday.
Nigeria is back in the final after 13 years and has a chance to win the title for the first time since it dominated African football in the 1990s.
Burkina Faso is in its first final and enters the decisive match looking to shock African football just like Zambia did when it beat Ivory Coast last year.
Burkina Faso will have leading striker Jonathan Pitroipa available after his red card in the semifinals was rescinded, but it remained unclear if injured Nigerian attacking duo Victor Moses and Emmanuel Emenike will be fit for the match at Soccer City.
"I will wait until the last minute and by Sunday we will know whether the boys will play or not," Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi said Saturday. "I can understand the apprehension of the public over the two players but we must be a little patient, because I know that the two of them want to play in the final and the medical team is working round the clock."
The final will be a rematch of the teams' opener in Group C, which ended in a 1-1 draw after Nigeria conceded an injury-time equalizer in Nelspruit.
"Luck is a very important element in football but please do not forget we have a quality team and very good players," Burkina Faso midfielder Charles Kabore said. "Of course Nigeria is a little bit favoured, but we are going to give our best. We are now in the final and the pressure is not with us. There is nothing to lose for Burkina Faso. There is everything to gain."
Nigeria is seeking its first title since 1994 and third overall. The Super Eagles are touted as the favourite after rebounding from a sluggish start in the group stage. The team looked impressive when it beat Ivory Coast's star-filled squad 2-1 in the quarterfinals and thrashed Seydou Keita's Mali 4-1 in the semifinals.
Nigeria was the team to beat in African football in the 1990s with a squad captained by Keshi. It made the semifinals in five of the last seven tournaments but was never able to break through with the trophy.
"We know the importance of the game. We've come this far, as a group we want to win it but it's football, everything can happen," Nigeria defender Joseph Yobo said. "It's been a long time."
Burkina Faso, ranked only 23rd in Africa entering the tournament, reached the semifinals for only the second time — and the first since it hosted the tournament in 1998. The Stallions initially just hoped to make it past the group stage, but the expectations were raised after they eliminated Emmanuel Adebayor's Togo 1-0 in the quarterfinals and favourite Ghana on penalties in the semis.
"We respect a lot the team of Nigeria. They have big players who play in the highest level in Europe, so we all know that," said Burkina Faso coach Paul Put, who was banned from Belgian football from 2008-11 in connection with a match-fixing scandal.
After last year's final, the Belgian is confident that the African Cup may provide another surprising finish this year. In 2012, Didier Drogba's Ivory Coast arrived at the final strongly favoured to win its first title but was stunned by Zambia 8-7 in a penalty shootout.
"I think in football you never know," he said. "You have to play the game and at the end when the referee is blowing you will know the result."
Burkina Faso was delayed travelling from Nelspruit to Johannesburg after the semifinal because of problems with flight connections.
"It was very difficult," Put said. "We were stuck in the airport for 10 hours. The players' legs were very heavy yesterday (at training.)"
It will help that Put will be able to count on Pitroipa on Sunday after the Confederation of African Football rescinded the yellow card that led to his sending off in the semifinals.
The ruling body on Friday overturned the decision by now-suspended referee Slim Jdidi to book the striker for diving in the final minutes of extra time. The confederation said the Tunisian referee conceded he had made a mistake.
Pitroipa would have been heavily missed as Burkina Faso is already without injured Alain Traore, who scored three goals early in the tournament.
Keshi, meanwhile, still doesn't know whether he will be able to count on his top forwards because of injuries. Spartak Moscow's Emenike, one of the tournament's leading scorers with four goals, is nursing a muscle injury, while Chelsea's Moses is treating a twisted left ankle.
Moses converted two late penalty kicks in the team's final group match against Ethiopia, saving it from early elimination.
Keshi is trying to become the first African coach to win the cup since Ivory Coast's Yeo Martial in 1992.
The Nigerian coach said he still didn't know whether he would put captain Yobo back in the starting lineup after benching him in the previous match.
AP Sports Writer Gerald Imray in Johannesburg contributed to this report.

Kevin Duffy: In Evans household, the less fortunate never forgotten
Power of the assist: R.J., Kastine Evans score plenty on the court, lend a helping hand off it
Recommended Video:
STORRS -- Kastine Evans will only reveal half the story.
And her version sounds something like this: Kastine, a shooting guard for the Kentucky women's basketball team, beat her older brother, R.J., in the siblings' most recent one-on-one game. This was back in high school, when both separately set scoring records at Norwich Free Academy.
The details on the one-on-one game, Kastine says, are a little fuzzy.
"That's what she told you?" R.J. asks with a smirk.
"I remember it," he continues. "I could only use my left hand."
No different than any other brother-sister combo, R.J. and Kastine Evans goof on each other. They text each other about important things -- R.J.'s clearance to play in UConn's nationally televised showdown with N.C. State -- and inside jokes, too. They used to come home from school and watch movies together. Kastine usually picked, which helps explain R.J.'s affection for Mean Girls.
All normal stuff. All part of the average family experience.
Except the Evans are not your average family.
Kastine Evans spent the summer in Ethiopia, visiting orphanages, helping to expand a church. She saw this one place, Cora, where few people could afford the marketplace. They got their food from a local dump. Some people didn't have hands or feet. Kastine could see every bone in their slowly eroding bodies.
"But just seeing that they still had a sense of hope," Kastine says, "it really broadens your perspective on things."
Everything considered, R.J. and Kastine Evans have had a good life. They're both high-level Division I basketball players: Kastine the first player off the bench for Kentucky, R.J. in the same role at UConn. They live in a residential Salem, Conn., neighborhood with a quarter-basketball court in the backyard.
Unlike many of their teammates, they were raised by two parents, Deborah and Ray. They had a mother who volunteered for Habitat for Humanity and a father who, on the weekends for seven years, drove them to New York City every weekend so they could face top competition.
"A lot of our friends, they don't have the same opportunities that we have," R.J. says. "They would want to be in our shoes any day of the week. That's something that my parents try to do. They take kids who are underprivileged, and they give opportunities."
A former NFL tight end, Ray -- still massive in frame -- organizes a charity basketball tournament every August. In 2010, the proceeds went to Quincy Cook, a 10-year-old Norwich native fighting a rare case of leukemia.
Ray works security at NFA and also coaches "Team Work Basketball," a group comprised of players who were cut from their high school programs. Eight of those kids are now playing college basketball, and one, Irving Eggleston, lived with Ray and Deborah for the past year while R.J. and Kastine were in college.
Eggleston's story is all too familiar: He grew up in Norwich, was raised in a single-parent household. While talented on the basketball court, his grades were too low. So was his weight. Really, so were his chances at a future. He had grown tight with Mr. Evans, as he calls him, and one day told him, "I can't do it anymore."
"Don't think you're quitting school," Ray responded.
So Ray took him in, stuck him in the guest room. He gave Eggleston structure, helped him eat right -- "He gained 45 pounds that year," Ray says -- and focus on school. Today, Eggleston averages seven points per game for Nicholls College.
"Mr. Evans was like a mentor to me," Eggleston says. "He changed my life a lot."
R.J. and Kastine never went through what Eggleston did. They've been blessed, Kastine says, with two parents and few tribulations, a rarity nowadays in high-level college athletics. But they've witnessed the harshest of struggles, and perhaps that's what's shaped them.
R.J.'s childhood friend, Taylor Emery, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma as they entered high school. He was a basketball player, too, only he attended East Lyme High. Emery "always played hard," R.J. says, but simply couldn't play much. Sick with cancer, he grew too tired after a few minutes. But he'd still come to R.J.'s games at NFA.
"He supported my career more than anything," R.J. says. "No matter how tired he was feeling that day, he came and I always appreciated that." Emery passed away on June 28, 2007, when R.J. was away at Columbia basketball camp. Five years after the death, R.J. still wears Emery's "wake card" in his shoe for every game. He even listens to the song that played at the wake -- "When I'm Gone" by Three Doors Down -- before he suits up.
That experience, he says, no doubt changed his life. In some way, it's like Kastine's visit to Ethiopia.
She returned home with an urge to help, more than tutoring teammates and aiding in homework (something both siblings had always done). So Kastine founded a non-profit, which starts up in January. Through a local church, she'll reach out to kids in Lexington with parents who are in the penitentiary system or addicted to drugs or alcohol. She'll perform basketball clinics, but more importantly, invite other Kentucky student-athletes -- perhaps from impoverished backgrounds -- to tell their own stories.
"I need to use what I've been given to help other people who haven't been blessed like that," she says.
When R.J. was pulled out of Columbia basketball camp the day Emery died, he wondered "why?" Today, whether he's teaching Eggleston a workout or texting his UConn teammates to check up, he still wonders. For a while now, he's been giving thought to a cancer-benefit basketball game in Emery's honor. The event won't answer any questions, and R.J. knows that.
But he also knows it can help, even if it's in the smallest way. In the Evans' household, that's usually enough.

A Better Finder Attributes 5.10 adds support for modifying Sony RAW
Luxembourg City, Luxembourg – publicspace.net today is pleased to announce the release of A Better Finder Attributes 5.10. The new version now supports adjusting EXIF timestamps in Sony's ARF RAW image file format.
A Better Finder Attributes has long been known to post-production and digital media producers for its ability to change Finder attributes, such as file creation and modification dates, hidden flags, labels and legacy creator and type codes. Its ability of visualizing and removing hidden files has also been much appreciated by practitioners in those domains.
Recent releases have brought it to a larger audience of digital photography amateurs and professionals by adding the ability to batch adjust the Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) time and date that JPEG pictures were shot to compensate for time zone errors or incorrectly set camera clocks.
Digital photographers also frequently leverage its ability to set the creation and modification dates of digital photo files to their actual shooting date to obtain proper chronological sorting in the Finder. Furthermore, professional photographers who use multiple cameras to cover the same event use A Better Finder Attributes to compensate for discrepancies in the internal clocks of their cameras.
A Better Finder Attributes can be used as a stand-alone application or straight from the Finder using either the contextual menu or a hot key. It can be integrated into existing workflows by creating droplets which automatically apply their stored settings. A Better Finder Attributes supports reading time stamps from a wide range of RAW camera formats (including Canon, Nikon, Olympus, DNG and many others) and can write EXIF timestamps in JPEG, CR2, NEF, ARF, CRW & CIFF image files.
Minimum Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or later
Pricing and Availability:
A Better Finder Attributes remains priced at $14.95 (USD). Family, Business and Enterprise Licensing is available. The product is also available from the Mac App Store under the name "File MultiTool 5".

This year so far has been very good for the Amstrad CPC, as we've seen a number of games that have been released such as Galactic Tomb, Pink Pills, Robbie Strikes Back, The Dawn of Kernel and even the incredible dungeon crawler 'The Shadows Of Sergoth'. But the Amstrad is about to get another boost in the homebrew department, as this week the #CPCRetroDev 2018 - Amstrad CPC Game Creation Contest has been announced
Exciting to see that it is announced but I haven't worked what I want to do yet, but 31st October is ages away right? I have a question about the gesture in the rules though.It mentions a gesture to Chicago's 30 in the form of a sprite but do we have to take a sprite exactly as is from the game or can we just draw an equivalent using whatever palette or perspective we like. Effectively this would be a sprite that is inspired by the game but not directly copied.
the Adventures of Timothy Gunn from CNGSofthttps://youtu.be/xIUq1-_3DoY
Wow! This is stunning!
Submitted with just one hour remaining and i was debugging a crashing bug in my sound code twenty minutes ago.It was epic this year The name of my game is Deeper Warrens and is inspired by Gauntlet.
Really looking forward to seeing your game.The game you wrote last year was really good.
[/size]I also have already submitted a small game in Locomotive Basic 1.0, Penalty kicks! My goal is just participation!!Good luck to all!
Thanks for all the updates! This is getting too exciting, too fast
That sounds like it was quite intense.While I didn't have a game crashing bug I certainly kept adding core features or fixing potentially game breaking bugs.
My original plan was to make no changes after midnight came and went as I kept working until 4am.
By the way WinCPCtelera remains indispensable for my process. (I probably have some more bugs/unexpected behaviour to report but I'll do that when I'm less exhausted from the project)
In the end we should aim to do our best and enjoy the game creation process while learning more that we can apply to the next time.
There appear to be a *lot* of high quality games this year!Even the games by ronaldo's students seem to have improved on previous years, both in style and execution!So exciting!

Membrane Trafficking
Yale has a long history studying membrane traffic, starting with the pioneering studies of George Palade and colleagues, during the '60's and '70's, which laid the foundation for our understanding of the pathway of regulated secretion. The route map was derived by combining biochemical and microscopic approaches.
Present work at Yale continues this tradition, covering all aspects of membrane traffic, using systems that range from yeast to neurons, and a wide range of techniques that encompass the latest methods in video fluorescence microscopy. A common aim continues to be the molecular understanding of protein sorting. Membrane compartments on the exocytic and endocytic pathways rapidly exchange proteins yet maintain their compositional integrity. By understanding the mechanisms that select proteins for transport in vesicles, and target vesicles to the correct membrane, we hope to understand the generation and maintenance of the elaborate membrane systems that uniquely characterize eukaryotic cells.

Really Easy Thin Crust Pizza My Way
I love real Italian style pizza with a thin crust. The bread should be the star of the show rather than the toppings. It should be crispy but not so crispy as a cracker. The character of the bread should shine through with a nice balance between crispy and chewy.
My pet peeve is pizza that droops. It happens even at upscale pizza restaurants. They put too much topping on the pizza which insulates the dough. The top of the dough doesn't fully cook. When you hold the typical triangular piece in your hand the point droops. A good pizza doesn't ever droop. If it droops, send it back and ask for a refund.
In Italy they have very hot ovens (700 degrees F) which can penetrate the toppings and cook the dough quickly before the toppings dry out. The ovens in our kitchens generally top out around 500 degrees F. This two-step baking solves that problem.
I like to keep bread dough in the refrigerator at all times so I can make something on a whim. 'Something' often means a pizza, ciabatta, pita bread, or fougasse. My favorite is a wetter version of the boule dough recipe in the book, Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a day. My recipe is 2 pounds flour (I use General Mills Harvest King), 28 fluid ounces water, 1.5 tablespoons instant yeast, and 1.5 tablespoons kosher salt. Mix together but don't bother kneading. Let rise two hours. Punch down and refrigerate overnight or for up to two weeks. I keep it in a plastic shoe box. Once you have this dough you can tear off a piece and make a variety of delicious eats. (note: See my recipe for Fougasse using this same dough http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/18140/fougasse-refrigerated-dough
Today I made the pizza pictured below.
For this pizza, I tore off a 1.5 pound portion from my refrigerated dough. Stretch and fold four or five times on a well floured surface. The dough will be sticky so use plenty of flour. Form a log nearly the length of the cookie sheet and press down so it is about 3 to 4 inches wide. I form the loaf on a Silpat Silicone non-stick liner on a cookie sheet but parchment paper works just as well. Roll the dough until it covers most of the Silicone liner or parchment. If the dough is so elastic that it pulls back take a ten minute break and roll again. You want it to pretty much fill up the cookie sheet. Cover with a clean damp dish towel and let it rise for an hour or more.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the dough in the oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes until it is just barely starting to brown on the bottom and you are able to pick it up using a pot holder. Remove from the oven and flip it over. You will put the toppings on what was the bottom of the dough during the first baking. This is the key to success with this pizza. This is how you prevent droop.
There are many possible toppings that you can use. The pizza in the photo has a tomato sauce brushed onto the dough (8 ounce can of tomato sauce with a tablespoon of butter and one crushed garlic clove cooked for about 15 minutes on the stove to thicken). There is a sprinkling of coarsely grated melting cheese such as Fontina or Quesadilla. I also added rings cut from a mild Anaheim pepper and pieces of artichoke hearts. Use your imagination but remember the maxim, that less is more when it comes to Pizza toppings. You don't want a pile of goop on your excellent pizza crust.
After the toppings have been applied, return to the oven for ten to fifteen minutes until the dough is nicely browned on the edges and bottom. The cheese should show some brown spots.

Let's just cut right to the chase here. It means being in control of yourself.
Every so often, a reporter will call me and ask me for my best financial advice and I always tell them "spend less than you earn." It really does summarize the best way for someone to get their financial house in order. As long as you do that over and over again over a long period of time, you will be able to overcome any financial situation.
The challenge, of course, isn't in following such a simple rule. Spending less than you earn is pretty clear.
The challenge is being able to exert that much control over your behavior. It's being able to step up to the plate over and over again when it comes to not giving in to your impulsive wants. It's being willing to do what it takes to improve your earnings before spending more money.
In short, it's harder than that simple rule sounds.
The biggest difference between someone who is buried in credit card debt and someone who is debt free isn't luck or income level. The biggest difference is self-control and the willingness to say no to most of one's impulses.
I can tell you right now, from personal experience, that the single biggest change in my life in terms of finances over the past several years is simply gaining much more control over my impulse spending.
Six years ago, I thought nothing of stopping at a bookstore and dropping $50 on my way home from work. A trip to London? Well, I had a big credit limit. Need a vehicle? I don't have any sort of down payment, but hey, let's go! New video games? New DVDs? Let's stroll through the checkout aisle without a second thought. Cable subscription with every premium channel known to man? Great!
This credit card's reached its limit? Time to open a new one.
The number one reason I got into my desperate financial situation several years back is because I didn't have any self control about how I spent my money. If I wanted something, I got it, even if it meant more debt.
The number one reason I got out of that situation was because I started adopting some self control when it came to my purchases. If I wanted something, I didn't buy it unless I was already sure I could afford it while still making progress on paying off our debts.
How did I get that self control?
I started working for something other than the desires of the moment. I spent some time re-evaluating my life and I came to realize that there were an awful lot of things that I cared deeply about that I just wasn't taking care of. I wanted a great life for my children, largely free from want when they were young at least. I wanted to be able to be at home with my kids when they were young as much as humanly possible. I wanted to someday be able to make a career leap into being a writer. I eventually wanted the ability to not work at all if I didn't want to.
These were big dreams, and I was exchanging them all for the "freedom" to go buy a new DVD or video game when it would hit stores. I was swapping those big dreams for the ability to watch The Sopranos every week. I was giving up those big life goals so that I could splurge on more books than I could ever read – and I'd buy them less than a mile from a wonderfully stocked library.
The "freedom" to buy whatever you want whenever you want isn't really a freedom at all. It's another trap, one that keeps you from having the big things in life that you dream of, one that keeps you working in a career path that you might want to change, one that keeps you from wanting to open the mail.
It's one that leaves you up at night, searching Google and hoping that someone out there has the answer to your financial situation.
I have the answer. Figure out the big things you want in life and put them first. Stop buying stuff that you don't really need. Live lean for a while and focus on getting rid of your debts. Set aside just a little bit of "mad money" each week or month that you can splurge with, but keep your splurging within those narrow bounds.
In short, spend less than you earn.
The magic ingredient is self-control. Do you have it?

And because the little girl likes to wear skirts.
I had thought that I was going to save most of this jersey cotton sock monkeys sheet, which probably cost $1.50 max at Goodwill Outlet, for matching pajamas for the littles. But that's a lot of sewing, and I have a lot of other stuff going on, as well, and the littles already have plenty of jammies, and I keep cutting into the sheet to make more baby bags for Barefoot Kids. But it's sock monkeys! I have to make SOMETHING for the girls out of it!
Hell, the little girl likes skirts. Might as well make a skirt:
To make a skirt of your own for a little person that you happen to know, you'll need a goodly bit of jersey cotton. I'm actually pretty stoked that I figured this project out, because several years ago I bought a few jersey cotton sheet sets, just red and grey and blue and whatever, but we don't tend to use the flat sheets in our house, so...yay, future skirts!
Anyway, measure the little person from waistband to anklebone, and add 1.25 inches, and measure her around her waist (make her suck it in, because for some reason my littles always measure wider than they wear), and multiply by 3, then add your seam allowance--1/4", unless you're going to do a french seam or something crazy like that, but you're welcome to.
Take the time to iron your jersey cotton nice and neat, because jersey cotton can stretch and warp something fierce, although a little careful ironing will true it back.
Starting at the bottom hem of the sheet, which will be the bottom hem of the dress--
--measure the length and cut, then measure the width across and cut.
Hem the side of the skirt, so that you're left with a really, REALLY wide tube.
For the waistband of the skirt, I was inspired by the blog post by Lil Blue Boo about HER T-shirt skirt, so that I folded my waistband down 1.25", too, and top-stitched the top edge to make a casing for the elastic, too. Her tute for that is very clear and has more photos--the only big difference is that I don't use interfacing or starch, and so zig-zag or overcast all my stitches when I sew knits. Anyway, her idea makes for a really neat waistband:As always, the outie is optional.
Depending on how snug you want the skirt's waist to be, you can measure your elastic for anywhere from your child's waist measurement (it'll be snug, since you'll be using some of that length to sew the elastic to itself) to your child's waist measurement + 1/2" seam allowance (that sounds like it would be a comfier fit, but remember that your child has no hips--go for snug).
Hook a safety pin to one end of the elastic, thread it through the waist casing, sew it to itself, and sew the casing shut.
Do you have two girls, too? Then go make another one!
Or just go ahead and have that third glass of sangria. The girls are asleep, after all, and there's a Toddlers and Tiaras marathon on TLC.

I like the concept, and your choice of colors as well. Just a couple of suggestions, if you don't mind. The proportions and musculature seem a bit off. It almost looks as if you drew an outline and then filled it in. Maybe you should try the stick-figure followed by cylinders and spheres technique. As far as making him look strong, your on the way but the pose kind of ruins the feeling. He just looks big, not powerfull. Try a more dynamic stance, and better definition of the muscles. Check out http://www.polykarbon.com for some really good tutorials on human figure drawing. You can also try checking out reference pics around the net, such as those of bodybuilders and the like. Hope this helps. One last thing - I really like the detail of the X on his chest. That portion really stands out to me.

I think I have noticed some problems with proportion or positioning that havent been already mentioned. 1. the neck seems too short. This could however help the character seem beefy.(hopefully someone else would like to offer an opinion on this?) 2.The feet seem to be standing on different objects. they are not on the same flat surface. It depends what your character is supposed to be standing on though. other than that this is a good pic. One more thing, I would reccomend you work on the lighting more.

Complaints data shortage a problem for health system
A lack of national data on health care complaints is a major obstacle to making improvements to the health care system, a study led by the University of Sydney claims.
Professor Merrilyn Walton, a former head of the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission and currently working for the Sydney Medical School, is the lead author of the study published in the Australian Review of Public Affairs.
Professor Walton said all states and territories collect data on health complaints but there is no consistency about what is collected and how the terms are defined.
"It is time to agree upon a national data set for complaints," Professor Merrilyn Walton said.
"Any meaningful comparison and national analysis about health care complaints, a highly valuable source of information, is currently impossible," Professor Walton said.
"This means that it is not possible to benchmark complaints, make definitive state-by-state comparisons or establish best practice in relation to time frames for assessment, conciliation or investigation.
"This is in spite of a trend toward national governance and national reporting and the push to strengthen accountability to the public."
The research compares complaint statistics from the published annual reports for all state and territory health care complaint commissions (HCCs) over five years.
The analysis found that comparisons between commissions were possible only for the most basic data. Shared data were reported by the commissions on only four out of an identified list of 18 items.
"Categories for which there is no overall national total include the number of enquiries or complaints, because that data is not collected by all the commissions," Professor Walton said.
"There is no national number for type of organisation complained about, for completed investigations or for outcomes of those investigations that are completed.
"There is no national total for complaints referred to a registration board or for disciplinary action."
One reason for a lack of national data is an inconsistency in the definition of terms including a lack of common understanding and use of the term complaint. Another reason is some commissions give only percentages on some measures while others give numbers.
"Different statutory requirements for different commissions explains some of this but one would expect each jurisdiction to have similar accountability and transparency requirements in relation to public reporting," Professor Walton said.
Despite the shortage of national data the study was able to identify certain trends in complaint reporting.
Treatment issues are uniformly reported as the most common issue for all commissions except Western Australia. While health literature frequently identifies poor communication as a cause for complaints, the study showed treatment as consistently outranking communication across all HCCs and years.
"Unsurprisingly, given they are the largest type of health service organisation, public hospitals were the most complained about group," Professor Walton said.
Queensland received the highest percentage of complaints about public hospitals (59 per cent) with the remainder of the HCCs receiving between 13 per cent to 25 per cent of hospital complaints.
While trends in complaints about public hospitals were fairly stable in most places, there was a noticeable decrease in Victoria (from 31 per cent in 2005-06 to 14 per cent in 2009-10) and in the Australian Capital Territory (from 30 per cent to 13 per cent).
"Whether this was due to better services, improved complaint procedures in hospitals, or loss of confidence in the complaint system cannot yet be determined," Professor Walton said.
The contributing authors to the paper are Dr Jennifer Smith-Merry from the University's Faculty of Health Sciences, Dr Judith Healy from Australian National University and Dr Fiona McDonald from Queensland University of Technology.

Whats your favorite Butterflyfish?
Two of mine are the Racoon and Copperband.
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

I have always liked the copperband best.

I like all of them but I tend to steer people away from the butterfly. Most are very specialized forage feeders and will not do so great over long periods of keeping. I agree the copper band is very attractive.
Nobody else has a favorite butterfly fish?
I have never done salt water, but just looking at photos of the different options, my favorite is either the Ornate (Chaetodon ornatissimus) or the Threadfin (Chaetodon auriga).

Copperbanded Butterfly for sure. Ours decided to wedge himself between a rock and the glass when we went away for the weekend. So.... we are in the market for a new fish!
100g Reef
I never have had any luck with the Butterfly, I'm glad people are successful. I was under the impression that the Butterfly was a reef feeder only?
Some are realy finicky eaters, like the Foureye but the more common ones are easy to keep and feed.
Last edited by steeler58; 02-22-2013 at 11:53 PM.
I've always had a thing for the Copperband right from the start 35 years ago but I have never kept one and probably wont. I cant believe how the price has come down over the years for these. They should have kept the cost at over $100.00 to keep these fish away from the not so experienced.
Warning; Bulldog Pleco guarding my Sons tank now..
Please remember; every keystroke has a consequence.
I said I would never purchase a Copperband butterfly but today I did. Hope all goes well. It did eat brine shrimp when I asked about feeding so we shall see.

I've been using the function GetWindowText() for a while now on Windows XP. When I upgraded to Vista Ultimate 64-bit, I started getting different output from the function. Instead of saving all the text, it only saves the first character.
After hours of trial and error, I decided to try the same code I was using under Vista (and was compiled using VC++ 2008) on Windows XP again, and it worked fine!
Has anyone heard of such a problem or how to fix it?

|Medic Corps

|Volume #8, Naruto Chapter #68
|Naruto Episode #39
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga
|Team Info
The Medic Corps (医療部隊, Iryō Butai) is a subdivision of Konohagakure's medical-nin organisation and hospital. These shinobi generally work at the hospital full-time, and their roles are similar to those of field medical-nin in that they are deployed to aid the comrades who are out on missions. However, unlike field medical-nin that normally get assigned to a four-man-team to serve in that capacity, they move as an independent team comprised solely of medical-nin.
These shinobi are under the directions of 'Captains'. One of these captains, Nonō Yakushi was stated to have found Kabuto Yakushi after the Battle of Kikyō Pass.[1] This story, however, may not be true although it was fabricated by Orochimaru.[2] Medic Corps shinobi can be seen throughout the duration of the Chūnin Exams, and a team was also sent after the Sasuke Recovery Team.[3]

Street Fighter X Tekken is the crossover fighting game that fighting game fans have been waiting for ever since Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The game features an interesting blend of Tekken and Street Fighter mechanics that emphasizes comboability and execution above all else. It also has an incredible feature set that is far more expanded than anything we have seen come out of Capcom before. It's certainly a refinement of the Capcom fighting game formula, but the new renewed focus on combos and execution risks alienating the less skilled audience.
Let's go over the basic gameplay systems first. This is a six-button fighter, designed to be played on an arcade stick. Three punches, three kicks, no aerial dashing or blocking—in that respect it plays a lot like Street Fighter IV. The game is also a 2v2 team fighter, but this doesn't mean Capcom has just made another Marvel vs. Capcom clone. The 2v2 fighting is actually much closer to Tekken Tag Tournament; when one character dies, you lose the round. So be sure to carefully tag in and out to manage your life total.
There are a lot of intricate systems in SFxTK to take note of. First, you have a three-stock "Cross Gauge." This super bar allows you to pull of EX moves for one stock, super arts for two stocks, and special techniques like the Cross Assault and Cross Art for three stocks. Double quarter-circle motions are all gone, as all super arts are performed with a motion and three buttons instead. It's simple, like Marvel, and it lets even less skilled players have access to advanced techniques on day one.
The Cross Assault calls in both characters to fight at the same time with one being controlled by the A.I., and Cross Arts are just more powerful super arts performed by both characters. There is also Pandora Mode, which sacrifices one character to give the other an eight-second power boost. However, if you don't win the game by the time those eight seconds are up, you die. You can tag cancel by using a bar of meter to set up some interesting combo opportunities, and charge up special moves to get supers and EX moves for free. It's a lot to learn, but they all come together in an interesting way that gives you plenty of options at any given point in a battle.
Then there is the much loved and loathed gem system. Unlike other fighting games, characters in SFxTK can equip gems to alter their stats. After reaching an activation condition such as "land five attacks" or "block three times" the gems activate and give you a short power-up. Gems can increase your attack, defense, or speed, regain your health, gain you more meter, and more. There are also "assist gems," which simplify move inputs and allow you to auto block if you are a newbie to SF-style fighting games.
And there's so much more! You can play 2v2 team play with four players. You can train online with a friend before going into ranked and unranked battles and lobbies. There's even a host of tutorials and trials to play if you are totally new to fighting games in general. To top it all off, the netcode in this game is revolutionary, seriously reducing lag for online play.
So with all of these features, Street Fighter X Tekken must be the perfect package, right? Well, not really. Unfortunately, everything about Street Fighter X Tekken feels a tiny bit "off." For example, let's look at the combo system. Light chains to medium to heavy, as is the case in most fast fighters like Marvel 3, but specials can't cancel off chains unless they are EX moves. This feels like an arbitrary rule that will just confuse newbies. Some normals can't be canceled out of at all, and there's no way to tell except through trial and error.
There is no hit-stun degradation in the game and comboing is easier than it is in Street Fighter IV. However, each move has a limited amount of "juggle points" in the air, and when these run out the opponent will just fall right through your attack. These points aren't a known quantity either. They are all calculated behind the scenes with no visual indicator to show you when your points have run out. So without serious study you'll find your combos drop for no reason.
This trend of things feeling a little "off" saturates every bit of the game. The netcode, as I said before, is revolutionary in terms of latency, but it somehow seriously affects the game's audio performance. Throughout a match, you'll randomly hear hit effects drop in and out, and, as a result, you'll have no audio confirmation on when an attack hits. This is incredibly disorienting and unfortunately sours the experience of playing a lag-free match online.
The gems also feel weird and poorly constructed. At first glance, there are simply some gems that are better than the others. Gems that activate due to common conditions are just hands-down better than gems that activate due to rarer conditions. Similarly, gems with longer activation periods, regardless of their power level, are always better than gems with shorter ones.
Assist gems, which make things simpler for newbies are, unfortunately, nearly worthless. "Shortcut" moves start up slower than their official counterparts, so pros will easily stuff them out with simple normal attacks. Auto-throw escape and auto-guard eat meter too fast to be useful, and they give up a gem slot that pros will be using for power boosts. So these gems don't actually help newbies at all. They actually just cause them to get crushed faster than they normally would without them. In the end, there is a very limited gem set that you will use, and, given a couple weeks, optimal gem builds will be all over the Internet.
The game's other modes also feel strangely half-complete. The tutorials are great in that they teach you the basics of the game, and, since there are so many intricate systems in Street Fighter X Tekken, you'll need them. Unfortunately, they don't really get into strategy, and so you'll mostly find yourself lost even after you complete them.

Everywhere you go nowadays, there seems to be someone who wants to sell you something. On TV, the internet, out on the street, and even in your house; there are advertisements all around whether you see them or not. So what makes yours stand out? One of the most popular forms of advertising is promotional product advertising —placing your logo on an item given to clients and potential clients. But with the plethora of advertisements we encounter every day, the key is to distribute a product that won't end up in the back of someone's closet. These are the top ideas for custom promotional products.
They're one of the most popular promotional items for a reason. How many times throughout the day do you need a pen? Probably quite a few. And you likely have a favorite pen that you use for your most important documents. That's why the promotional pen strategy works best with a more quality pen. Make your company's pen your customer's pen of choice. Sure enough, they'll be using it one day when someone will ask about the company written on the side. Who knows, that person may just be in the market for your services.
People appreciate creativity, and with a calendar, you've got 12 opportunities to show off your own creative side. The key is to come up with a theme that is not only unique and visually appealing, but shows off your brand as well. If you sell cars, put out a calendar of 12 of the most beautiful cars, preferably ones that can be found on your lot. If your employees are the product at your company and you have a friendly relationship with your client base, maybe a light-hearted calendar with your employees in humorous poses. The possibilities for an entertaining calendar are endless.
Bags and Clothing
In addition to being stylish and functional, your logo stamped on a book bag or a t-shirt essentially serves as a walking billboard. That's why major clothing lines do it with their products. You can recognize a Gucci purse by the insignia or an Abercrombie and Fitch polo from the moose. Give your company's logo the same amount of exposure. The more people you have walking the streets with your name on their chest, the greater the chances are that someone will take notice and give you a call.
Mugs and Glassware
You'd be surprised at some of the rituals people have with their morning coffee. Some people enjoy drinking out of the same cup every morning for decades. Others have a special cup that they only use on Sundays. Whatever your clients' morning routine, make sure your company is a part of it. Putting your logo on a coffee mug gives your clients a subtle reminder that they're waking up with the best. Put it on some glassware and make your company a part of special toasts and celebrations, or simply as a way for them to enjoy a favorite beverage around the house.

No Title
Being a CIO just isn't what it used to be. It seems that new technologies are appearing almost daily, most brands are stepping up their pursuit of an increasingly fickle customer base, and the pace of business is constantly quickening. The old ways of doing things just don't cut it any more. With that in mind, Deloitte Consulting recently surveyed nearly 1,000 IT executives about how they view the role of the CIO in their organizations. The upshot: Most view their CIOs as hopelessly-behind-the-times technology stewards, rather than revolutionaries who are leading their businesses into the brave new world. But Suketu Gandhi, a Deloitte principal who was involved in compiling the survey data, says that the onslaught of new technologies--from mobility and social media to analytics and cloud computing--will give CIOs the opportunity to act as agents of change in their organizations. "These combined technologies give the CIO the opportunity to be an active strategist and decision maker within their respective organizations, and can allow them to be a revolutionary force. The CIO will increasingly have the ability to actually change how business is conducted." Here, we highlight findings of the survey along with the factors Deloitte believes are pushing CIOs into a more revolutionary role.

Mags with UWC Selection panel: Dinesh, Nabina, Bhushan, Tenzin, Rabi
Within 24 hours of arriving to the hazy yellow skies in Kathmandu and the myriad of sounds that are an assault on the senses, I was at the final round of interviews for UWC 2020 selection. I received a warm welcome from the people who would make up the two selection panels, all of whom were UWC alumni from across the years.
As 2020 will see the first Pestalozzi-UWC scholarship to UWC Atlantic for a Nepali scholar, I was invited to observe the final interview round. A total of 28 candidates were interviewed for both full and partial scholarship places by two panels of alumni. I joined a panel of three alumni who interviewed 12 students.
The candidates were given ten minutes to prepare and five minutes to make a presentation and answer a few questions. Topics included the environment, gender inequality, youth issues and education. This was followed by a variety of questions from the panel and rounded off by a scenario that they may face when attending a UWC and how they would deal with it.
I was impressed not only by the candidates, but also the rigour of the selection process, much of which bore a striking resemblance to the previous selections I had undertaken on behalf of Pestalozzi International Village Trust.
The wait will continue a little longer while final decisions are made regarding the allocation of successful candidates to the various UWC's around the world. We wish the very best of luck to all of those students who made it through to the final round.

A Novel Mechanical Stress Measurement Method Applied to Wind Turbine Rotor Blades
Rotor blades for wind turbines are made of GFRP material. They have to be designed to withstand wind and weather over their approximately 20 years of lifetime. The ability to monitor the mechanical stress is crucial in order to reduce maintenance costs and to maximize operational availability.
This paper presents the combination of SPICE® and COMSOL Multiphysics®, in order to reduce computation time. This allows to focus on design details with COMSOL Multiphysics® while modelling the overall design using SPICE®. The proposed measurement method based on TEM-Waveguides is outlined. According to simulation and experiments it is now possible to permanently monitor the strain of rotor blades. Therefore only a few modifications on conventional rotor blades are necessary.

Attention: If you are using Wordpress, then this will be the most important page that you have ever read. Period.
Imagine you wake up tomorrow to find that your Wordpress sites have been hacked...
Imagine you wake up tomorrow and find that all of your Wordpress sites are down and losing you cash!
Imagine you find that you actually have no backups for any of your sites...
Imagine you need to fix or update your plugins across all of your Wordpress sites!
It's a stomach churning feeling when this happens. Trust me.
And what's more is…
If you use Wordpress for your blogs then you likely fall into one of two camps:
If you fall into the first group, then I am surprised and you are amongst the top 2% of bloggers. Or more likely, you already own a copy of WP Pipeline ;)
If however you fall into the second group, then this will be the most important letter that you have ever read.
Let me ask you this…
When you login to your blog to make a post, do you see the warning at the top of your blog and ignore it?
Or perhaps you take note of it, but are in too much of a hurry to deal with the warning at that moment as you are desperate to get the task at hand done.
That's how I used to be also.
It was a set and forget blog that made money from AdSense. The search engine rankings were so strong that I didn't even need to do any linkbuilding. I literally left it to run and smiled whenever I checked my AdSense account and found free money in there..
Then, one day I noticed that I hadn't made any money from it that day so went and checked the blog. There was a large notice on it saying that I had been hacked by the "Killin Eegles". Not a big problem I thought as my webhost had a backup...
Well, actually it turned out that they didn't have a backup. And nor did I. :(
Upon investigation, it turned out that they had been able to hack the site because of a vulnerability in an old plugin that I had. What was more annoying to find was that in the current version of the plugin, the vulnerability had already been fixed! So it was pretty much my fault for not keeping my website up to date… which gets hard to remember when you have just one site - let alone several, or a hundred or more!
A monthly loss of $3k is hard to swallow, but there wasn't much I could do apart from start the blog again and hope that Google gave me the same love that they had done before. They didn't.
It was an expensive lesson. But what I did learn was:
Trust me when I say that you do NOT want this to happen to you. It is a real slap in the face after you have worked so hard on a site, not to mention any lost income… that really hurts!
You know and I know that you 'should' be regularly updating your plugins, themes and Wordpress software itself but…
Are you actually doing it? And if not, then why not?
The task of maintaining your sites becomes such a chore that even though you know you should be taking care of it you simply just leave it until 'another day'.
The trouble is, that magical day when you find time to update your sites rarely ever arrives and so you hold yourself at the mercy of hackers and any other problems that may come up because of your neglect.
Unless you use WP Pipeline of course…
Let me share with you two fictional examples of problems and solutions that people have had with Wordpress and its management:
Name: Andy Bacon
Age: 24
Niche: Auto Blogging
Andy is aged 24 and makes money by auto blogging. He currently has 57 blogs which bring him in around $30 a day from AdSense and $13 a day from being an Amazon affiliate.
Just this month, he has broken the $1,250 mark in profit and is pretty pleased with how things are going.
He plans on creating more blogs, but as he has a full time job, he finds it hard to find the time to create them while fitting around his busy social life. His girlfriend enjoys being taken out for expensive meals and going to the theatre but doesn't really like it when he spend up to 5 hours in an evening creating a new blog.
Andy takes his girlfriend Catherine away for a long weekend and when he gets back on Sunday, he checks his Amazon and AdSense income.
This is usually the favorite part of his day by far, but he has a shocking surprise when he checks the last 3 days of income.
On Friday, instead of bringing in over $40, he has made $33. Although this is 20% less than average he also knows that income can go up and down.
On Saturday, he brought in $22. At this point he starts to get a bit worried.
When he checks Sunday's income, he finds that he has brought in $5 from AdSense and only $3 from Amazon.
At this point he knows that something is wrong and starts to check his sites one-by-one.
Everything looks fine on the first few that he looks at. The home page is loading fine and the posts also look fine. The AdSense and Amazon ads are showing up well.
By the 5th, he is quite stumped. He knows that something is wrong as income and stats are way down, but he doesn't really know what.
On the 5th site, he decides to take a look at the WP Admin and a message shows up telling him that 6 of his plugins are not up to date. This includes the plugin that he uses to autoblog.
He takes a look at the settings and finds that for the last week no new posts have been showing on the blog.
He updates all of his plugins, themes and Wordpress version and like a magician has swung a magic wand, his blog has now filled up with all of the posts that should have been there for the last week.
Andy breathes a sigh of relief and then realizes that he now has to do exactly the same thing 57 times. eurgh. And perhaps more importantly, he now wants to make sure that he avoids this happening again.
Andy hears of some software called WP Pipeline. He sets it up and imports the details of his blogs. In total it takes him about 5 minutes. He then presses one button to update everything across all of his blogs.
Andy breathes a sigh of relief as he realizes that all he has to do now is login to WP Pipeline if he ever wants to check on the health of all of his sites.
While Andy is using WP Pipeline, he also uses the backup feature and schedules that all of his blogs will be backed up once a week. He also creates a new autoblog in 30 minutes and realized that he has not only saved about 4 hours, but also that Catherine will be happier that he can spend more time with her!
Name: Warren Hadley
Age: 53
Niche: Local Marketing
Warren is 53 and is self-employed. He has around 20 clients which he services by doing web design, development and marketing. Five of those have Wordpress sites.
Warren understands the importance of keeping his clients' websites up to date and as part of his package offers a service where he receives a monthly payment of $15 to keep them up to date and secure. Four of his clients takes this service as it saves them having to keep an eye on their website and don't really 'understand' these things.
Warren receives a call late one friday night on his cellphone. It is the 'fifth' client. It briefly enters his mind on how the client obtained his cellphone number but his thought process quickly moves on. The client is in a massive panic and speaking at what seems like a thousand words a minute.
Warren was actually expecting this call, as he had also been monitoring their website with WP Pipeline and noticed that the version of Wordpress that they had been using was not up to date and that in the last few hours had actually been hacked.
He had also been ahead of the curve and kept a backup of their blog incase the inevitable happened.
Warren calms the client down and says that he will deal with it. Within about 30 seconds, everything was back to normal and Warren spends the next 59 minutes and 30 seconds catching the end of a rerun of ER. The next day Warren sent a hefty bill to the client and suggested that he joins his monthly servicing contract. Within minutes, the bill is paid by Paypal and the first month's payment is also included.
WP Pipline is a revolutionary new Wordpress plugin which only takes about 5 minutes to install but will likely have a profoundly positive effect on the way your business runs. If you can install a Wordpress plugin and point and click then you can start using WP Pipeline in just a few minutes.
Awful things can happen if you don't keep your blog software and plugins up to date:
Ever heard of hackers?
Let me tell you how hackers work with Wordpress. First they find a vulnerability or in hacking speak 'a black hole'. This is a bug within the software itself or within a plugin.
The next step, is that they find all other blogs that have this vulnerability and get to work.
It could be that they just act maliciously on your blog by replacing files with their signature files.
It could be that they replace your AdSense or Amazon affiliate code with their own so that you lose income.
It could be that they then use your blog to send out millions of spam emails resulting in your reputation going down the tube and being banned by your web hoster.
The best case scenario is that you have a backup and get your blog online again quickly.
The worst case scenario is that your hosting service shuts you down or that you are blacklisted by Google and penalized by the other search engines.
But let's look at the next step:
Usually, the vulnerability is patched fairly quickly. So, the plugin developer releases a new version or Wordpress release a new version of their software.
Then, what the hacker does is to search for blogs that have NOT updated as they know that those blogs are still wide open to perform their evil magic.
In short, the quicker that you upgrade to the latest versions, the less chance you have of being hacked.
And if you think that it wouldn't happen to you, do a search on google for Wordpress Blog Hacked and you will see over 3 million reports of other people having had it happen to them.
Once again, a MASSIVE way to be almost certain that it doesn't happen to you is to make sure that your plugins and installs are up to date.
WP Pipeline takes care of your Wordpress security and updates for you simply and easily.
Hopefully by now you realize the importance of security and keeping your Wordpress blog up to date with the latest software and plugins.
The next step is to find a way to put this into action without spending hours doing it yourself every day or paying someone else to do it.
WP Pipeline will update all of you plugins and themes for you. It will even make sure that your Wordpress version is up to date. WP Pipeline will do this across every single blog that you and/or your clients have.
WP Pipeline will also save you time and money by:
Something that is extremely important if you have just one blog or if you have a thousand blogs is control. Or using another word, organization.
Being able to control and organize your entire online Wordpress presence gives you a massive advantage over any competitor. You will be getting up to the minute reports and statistics across your entire virtual real estate.
WP Pipeline will help you with this organization by:
Due to the time which it usually takes to have this control it is something which you probably let slide which means that your blogs are not up to date and probably not performing as you want them to.
By setting up WP Pipeline, in just a few minutes, you will have an instant realtime overview of all of your blogs!
When any of your blogs need to be updated, you will be informed on your dashboard. You can then choose to just update that blog, or update any blogs that need to be updated.
If you want to upload a new theme or plugin to one of your blogs or to multiple blogs, then you can do this in just a few clicks from your dashboard. You can also deactivate plugins or themes in the same way. This works the same way with either single themes or plugins or multiple themes and plugins.
If you want to create a new blog with a particular set up, then you can do this from the main dashboard in just a few clicks. You are able to create and save multiple profiles which are based on blogs that you already have. This is particularly powerful if you want to set up a large number of blogs with the same setup.
Sometimes you no longer want to use a theme or a plugin on your blogs. By clicking a few buttons, you can deploy this across all of your selected blogs.
You will often find that you have different kinds of blogs that you want to put into groups. Or perhaps you have different clients and want to keep them separate.
WP Pipeline enables you to create as many groups as you like and put all of your different blogs in different groups. You can then pull up just the group of blogs which you want to manage.
This is an incredibly powerful feature which allows you to give multiple users access to your dashboard. Each one can have different permissions on what they are allowed to do and what blogs they have access to. This is very useful if you have clients, employees or even if you want to sell certain blogs and give them temporary access.
From one central location, you can set up scheduled backups for your blogs so that if tragedy does happen, then you can easily restore the backup.
WP Pipeline makes it extremely easy to add or delete blogs from your dashboard.
You probably have a lot of plugins and themes that you have bought or use regularly. WP Pipeline will enable you to keep a library of all of these plugins and themes so that you can easily find what you want.
Imagine if you could control all of your Wordpress blogs from one central control panel.
Imagine if you could update all your Wordpress versions, themes and plugins across all of your blogs with just one click of a button.
Imagine if you could clone, backup or create a new blog with just a few clicks.
Imagine if you could deploy plugins and themes across all of your blogs with just one button.
Imagine if you never had to remember a username or password again!
Imagine if you have peace of mind that all your blogs are running as they should be.
The simple truth is, if you use Wordpress in any way online and want to save time and money, gain full security, peace of mind and total control over your virtual real estate then you really only have 2 options:
1. Either you can regularly pay someone to:
2. You can buy this software which will do it all for you in just a few simple clicks.
If you want a fast and easy way to make sure that
you are fully protected and have the greatest chance of
increasing revenue and traffic then you MUST take
the second option and start using WP Pipeline today.
It takes approximately 10 minutes for someone to
login to a Wordpress dashboard and make all of the
(And this is if they even know that they need updates.)
If you have 5 blogs, then this is about 50 minutes.
But let's round down to just 30 minutes to be very conservative.
That's approximately 26 hours a year that you have to
either pay someone or waste your own valuable time.
And that is JUST to keep your blogs up to date. And
you probably have more than 5 blogs!
Remember, that is a very conservative estimate, your time spent tinkering with Wordpress is likely to be very much higher in all probability. I know it was for me before I had enough and created this fantastic new software.
1. You will be notified whenever you have to update
any of your blogs.
2. All you have to do is to click ONE button and all
of your blogs will be totally updated with the latest
version of your themes, installations and plugins.
And then if you decide that you want to put a new
plugin on all of your websites, all you need to do
is to choose the plugin and once again just click
on one button.
And then if you decide that you want to create a new blog (or 20) then you just need to press a few more buttons.
And if you want to create or recover a backup then we have you covered there also.
If you value your time, your money and also your
piece of mind, then this is the way to go.
The cost of this software is a fraction of the cost of what you would have to pay if something goes wrong.
The cost of this software is a fraction of the cost of the time or money that you would have to spend if you were to manage each of your blogs manually.
One of the greatest satisfactions in developing software is helping clients. One of the greatest ways to help you as a client is to increase your earning potential. WP Pipeline does just that!

The oral, direct thrombin inhibitor, ximilagatran for a while seemed to be poised to be the replacement for warfarin. Early trials indicated its efficacy and safety (at least in terms of bleeding risks) but its further advancement was stymied and ultimately blocked by the observation of what proven to be a unacceptably high level of abnormal liver function test abnormalities.(Direct thrombin inhibitors (DTIs) block thrombin from cleaving fibrinogen to fibrin.)
However, its descendant, dabigatran has successfully made its way through two large randomized clinical trials and seems to be at least as efficacious and at least as safe (in terms of bleeding risks at and no major signals of other adverse effects) and will probably emerge as the long sought after replacement to warfarin.
First dabigatran looked good (in some outcomes better than warfarin and in others, "not inferior") in the RELY trial which studied its use in high risk patients with atrial fibrillation. Next the RE-COVER trial (this is not to be confused with the RECOVER (without the hyphen) trial) compared dabigatran with warfarin in patients with deep vein thrombosis and found similar good results.
So far,dabigatran seems as efficacious and safe as warfarin in atrial fibrillation and in DVT and does not require frequent blood test monitoring nor frequent dose adjustments.
Still there are concerns and questions. Dabigatran is given twice a day so the compliance issue has to be considered. Further,in RELY two doses were tested. At the 150 mg twice a there were fewer strokes so that dose seems more efficacious. At the 110 mg dose there were fewer instance of hemorrhage, so the lower dose seem safer. The 150 mg twice a day dose was used in the RE-COVER dvt trial so that dose may become the one generally used.
Dabigatran is approved in the EU for prophylaxis in total hip and total knee replacements and also in Canada.
2010 will probably see its approval in the U.S, fifty years or more after warfarin was approved.

I have no data for US prices but I'll bet dabi will cost more per pill,but I suppose you have to factor in the cost of many INR determinations.Actually the Wikipedia site says that dabigatrin costs about 10 times warfarin for the NHS in Great Britain.

if dabi costs $5 a day while warfarin is 10cents, a protime is $5 once a month. the most overhyped drug since Multaq!
