I was raised in Southeast Ohio, but consider Los Angeles home now. My mother is a trained professional artist, but I ended up studying science and pharmacy in college. Making a living as an artist in a rural area seemed daunting at the time. It wasn't until I realized I had more to say, that communicating visually was very important to me, that I began painting.
I am self-taught, and currently work with acrylics on canvas. In the past I've made large art cakes with edible sculptural elements.
I like working with both dark and light subject matter: sometimes it's ocean landscapes, or pure whimsy, other times darker surreal figurative or portrait work.
Catherine Ruane
The drawings I create are mainly of native or near native plants that can sustainably survive and prosper in the southern California climate. The works address and celebrate living reasonably with the natural resources of the chaparral and the semidesert confines of the southern-most locations of California. The metaphor that rings within these works addresses the human effort to find a place, a home in the world we live in.
In a similar vein, I will also be exhibiting a series of small oil paintings of significant trees with emphasis on details of their leaves.
Another series I will be showing for this season's Brewery Art Walk is a collection called "Baby Cakes," which are fun, painterly renditions of sweet delights.
Jane Szabo
Jane Szabo is a Los Angeles based fine art photographer with an MFA from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. Her work investigates issues of self and identity. Using self-portraiture and still life as a vehicle to share stories from her life, her work merges her love for fabrication and materials, with conceptual photography. Szabo brings many facets of visual art into her photographic projects, incorporating sculptural, performance and installation elements into her work, and her imagery is often infused with humor and wonder. .
Szabo's photography has been exhibited widely, including solo shows at the Museum of Art & History in Lancaster, CA, Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, the Yuma Fine Art Center in Arizona, and the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art. Her work has been included in exhibitions at Oceanside Museum of Art, the Griffin Museum of Photography, The Colorado Center for Photographic Arts, San Diego Art Institute, Los Angeles Center for Photography, Gallery 825 in Los Angeles, the Kaohsiung International Photographer Exhibition in Taiwan, and Foto Fever in Paris, France.
Her photographs have been featured in many publications and blogs including: The Huffington Post, Lenscratch, Mono Chroma Magazine, Silvershotz, Bokeh Bokeh, L'Oeil de la Photographie, F-Stop Magazine, Foto Relevance, Fraction, Your Daily Photo, A Photo Editor, Don't Take Pictures, Art & Cake, Diversions LA, ArtsMeme, and others.
Jane Szabo's work is in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles Museum of Art (LACMA), the Lancaster Museum of Art & History (MOAH), and in private collections throughout the US, and Europe.

Since the first part of this year, a new hydroelectric power plant called "la Virgen" is under construction in Peru, which uses water resources of river Tarma for the production of energy.
The project was approved in meeting the UN Convention on Climate Changes as a clean and sustainable energy generator.
A project that costs 119 million of dollars, and could generate 64MW. SEINGIM has followed the design phase for the realization of automation panels for account of S.T.E. Energy S.p.A.
The experience accumulated over the years in this field, has enabled us to exhibit at the conference"Idroelettrico in Italia" (Hydroelectric systems in Italy) in late September, with the most important Italian companies that deal with Hydro in the world.

HE grew up waving a Parramatta flag on the hill and now flashy winger Ken Sio wants to be part of Ricky Stuart's new order at the Eels.
The 22-year-old scored both Parra's tries in Sunday's loss to South Sydney and has a year to run on his contract after escaping being one of 12 players sacked by coach Stuart this month.
"I played juniors at Wenty, I used to go to games with my dad," Sio, who may play for Samoa in the World Cup, tells RLW.
"It's been tough but also, coming through as young player, it's a bit of a wake-up call. Every time you put on that jersey, you've to play with everything that you have inside you, with all your heart.
"Stick has to make changes to move the club forward and he's the coach. We're all behind Stick.
"I've got next year (here). It will be good. It will be heaps different.
"It's a rollercoaster at the moment but we've got to stick together and brothers and spend more time together at training instead of at home."

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is hailing Sweden as one of America's oldest and closest partners.
Trump's remarks follow meetings Tuesday at the White House with Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven.
Trump mentioned that his daughter and White House adviser, Ivanka Trump, recently watched the U.S. defeat Sweden's men's curling team at the Olympic Games last month in South Korea.
The president is also thanking Sweden for help winning the release last year of Virginia college student Otto Warmbier, who had been detained in North Korea. Warmbier died shortly after being returned to the U.S. The U.S. has no formal diplomatic relations with North Korea.
Lofven notes that the U.S. and Sweden are celebrating 200 years of diplomatic relations.
The PBS NewsHour will update this story as it develops.

Rocky road, raspberry brownies
My second baking challenge from Betty Crocker about easy baking was brownies. Everyone likes brownies and I think most of us have a favourite recipe. I couldn't resist having a look around my cupboards for additional ingredients to pimp them up a little. I really like the all in one mix and all I add is egg, water and vegetable oil, in this case rapeseed oil so no need for butter and a big shop for baking ingredients. It is all quite neat and the flour doesn't seem to have that spreading effect it usually has.
This was a chocolate fudge brownie and they looked like this on the packet.
I did figure I could achieve that. A look around the cupboards and the fridge got me mini marshmallows, pecan nuts, Varlhorna chocolate and a punnet or fresh raspberries about to expire. I didn't want to choose so I thought it would all be nice in a brownie. This is what makes me a terrible baker, I can't help change just a few things and sometimes it just doesn't work.
Chop and dry roast a handful of pecan nuts
I think Varlhorna is one of the most amazing chocolates in the world and I always try to use it when I bake, the flavour really stands out.
Follow the instructions on the packet and when the mix is done gently fold in the additional ingredients, is using.
Once all this was done I realised that I didn't have a brownie baking tin. After a brief panic I decided to use two cake tins. It worked a treat and chocolate smell wafting from the oven around the house was quite irresistible.
Let the brownie cool and then cut it up in to portions. I made it in to a dessert with a little cream and a raspberry. M thinks that reviewing Betty Crocker easy baking products is great.
I loved the basic flavour and it worked very well with the marshmallows, pecan nuts and raspberries. The little nuggets of additional chocolate was so good and I was pleased how easy it was to make the brownies "your own". Simply add what you like and it is still delicious and easy to bake. The only mystery is that the marshmallows must have melted, they were nowhere to be seen but it didn't really matter because it was so good.

Salt Lake City VA Medical Center
- 500 Foothill Drive
Salt Lake City,
The VA Salt Lake City Health Care System (VASLCHCS) consists of the George E. Wahlen Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) in Utah, Idaho, and Nevada.
The George E. Wahlen Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center is a mid-sized affiliated tertiary care facility with 121 authorized active beds. It is a teaching facility, providing a full range of patient care services, with state-of-the-art technology as well as education and research. Comprehensive health care is provided through primary care, tertiary care, and long-term care in areas of medicine, surgery, psychiatry, physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurology, oncology, dentistry, and geriatrics. The VASLCHCS is part of the VA Network 19, which includes facilities in Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Idaho, and Nevada.
VASLCHCS has a major affiliation with the University of Utah School of Medicine. Over 500 University of Utah residents, interns, and students are trained at the VASLCHCS each year. Additional Special Fellowship programs affiliated with the University of Utah are ongoing in Ambulatory Care and Medical Informatics Training Programs. Currently there are 115 physician resident positions funded at the VASLCHCS. There are also nursing student affiliations with numerous colleges and universities throughout the United States, including local Intermountain West affiliations with the University of Utah, Brigham Young University and Westminster College. The VASLCHCS has ongoing training programs and affiliations with numerous colleges and university throughout the United States involving our Associated Health Training Program. The associated health training includes dentistry, pharmacy, social work, psychology, occupational and physical rehabilitation, audiology, physician assistant, dietetics, and podiatry training programs. Many of these training programs have been integrated into our Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center (GRECC).
Salt Lake City is the cultural and political center of Utah. With a metro area of 1 million residents, Salt Lake is Utah's most populous city by a significant amount, yet remains remarkably pleasant and livable. It has plenty of cultural offerings, numerous parks and some inspiring buildings, including the splendid structures of the Mormon Temple Square and the historic This is the Place Monument.
Some of the other spectacular draws of the city include the Clark Planetarium, which includes Utah's very first 3-D IMAX Theater. Surrounding the Planetarium is Downtown's Gateway, a partly open air shopping center that spans blocks. Hogle Zoo and Tracy Aviary are delightful for wildlife lovers, if the Zoo can be very crowded on the weekends. The Museum of Fine Arts has a beautiful wide range of works and performance landmarks such as Hale Theatre and Ballet West are well worth seeing.
Salt Lake City sits very attractively in a valley beneath the Wasatch Mountains. The mountains provide a wonderful backdrop and a variety of great recreational opportunities. In winter, piles of dry snow smother the Wasatch, providing excellent downhill skiing at 7 large resorts within 45 minutes of downtown, including Alta, Solitude, Snowbird and Brighton. In summer, there is good hiking and mountain biking. Wasatch's Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons are known for their rockclimbing spots. Head a little farther north to the delightful water and amusement park Lagoon to cool off after a day of exercise. Salt Lake City is part of the Wasatch Front, the name given to the string of cities and suburbs that forms a continuous urban area along the Wasatch Mountains from Ogden to Provo. Visit Salt Lake City.

A light source and light sensor inside the sensing chamber are arranged in a way that light normally does not reach the sensor. Only when particles are suspended in the air, light is scattered on the receiver. The evaluation electronics in the ORS-142-EX monitors the smoke component of the sensor for mild contamination, serious fouling and for faults. The optical indicator shows the current operating status of the ORS-14-EX.

WE now have our Premiership fate in our own hands.
Saturday's win over Wolves pushed the Reds up into fourth place. It is where we want to be at the end of the season and now it is up to the likes of Charlton and Newcastle to catch us.
It is a just reward for the never-say-die spirit the lads showed on Saturday.
Any doubts over the spirit in the camp were erased by that late goal from Sami Hyypia (pictured).
The lads refused to give up. It was not a good game, but it was a great finale.
It is human nature to look back to the past with fondness. But I can recall winning a lot of games like that during the 80s.
We were not always on top of our game but we kept going to the end and, more often than not, our endeavour was repaid.
It was so important to get six points from the two home games. Victory was never in doubt against Portsmouth, where the lads played really well.
But Wolves came to Anfield and made life very difficult.
If morale in the Liverpool camp was as low as some people would have you believe, then the game would have ended goalless.
Instead, Sami produced the goods at the death and the sight of the whole team joining him to celebrate illustrated exactly how strong the sense of togetherness is in the camp.
That spirit means it will be very hard for the chasing pack to push us out of fourth spot.

Healthy sleep, healthy mind, that's the tag line for the Soundasleep Bluetooth speaker pillow, and I completely agree with that. Sleeping, or sleeping well, is an issue for many, many people, and considering we spend something like half our lives sleeping, you want to be comfortable, enjoy it and wake up as fresh as a daisy. Well with Soundasleep's new smart pillow, it should be making it easier for those that struggle to sleep, to get a good nights sleep.
It is exactly what it says on the box, it is a pillow, with a built in Bluetooth speaker, which you can connect to your smart device and play music through. But thanks to the Soundasleep app, it's got a few added features that will appeal to a lot of people.
Before we get into the tech, lets just look at the pillow itself. It's a standard sized pillow, at 68cm x 44cm and is made from polyester hollowfibre filling & polyester microfibre cover. To the top left hand side of the pillow is a small zip, which houses the micro USB cable required to charge the pillow. Near the zip, is a small box inside the pillow, with a single button, which when held down for 3 seconds, turns the pillow on or off. To achieve the audio, there is a small speaker within the pillow, which can be found if you try hard enough with your hands, but cant be felt when your head hits the pillow. It's a very plump and firm pillow.
Onto the tech side, you need to initially charge the pillow, via the USB cable for 3 to 4 hours. Once charged, you can pair the pillow to your smart device, just like you would any other Bluetooth product. This then allows you to play music through the pillow, via your smart device. Playback time is only about 8 hours, so it may need charging often.
Taking it a step further, you need to download the free Soundasleep on your smart device, which then opens up the pillows true features. Via the app, you can play the music of your choice, but also various sounds or songs provided for free, that may assist with you falling to sleep. These include meditation tracks, natural sounds like a crackling fireplace or heavy rain, white noise sounds like a hair dryer or city ambiance, plus a few more. The app also allows you to set your morning alarms, which is handy.
The app also tracks your sleeping patterns, how well you've slept, and documents this, so you can see what makes you sleep the best, so you know for your next sleep. It can also monitor your snoring and if your snoring hits a certain level, the pillow can make an alert sound, with the aim of waking you up and stopping you from snoring. But how well does that work…
For the snoring function, you need to set a sensitivity level out of 100, which will trigger the alert. So if you set the level to 70 and you snore louder than 70, you will hear an alert. The volume of this alert can be different to the volume of the music or sounds your playing. For this function to work, you need to keep your phone on during the night, and the app open, you cannot close the app. I wasn't a fan of having my phone on during the night and all the next day, never turning my phone off again. Your phone also acts as the microphone, so ideally it needs to be on your bedside table. The highest snore rating I got, was 74, which did trigger the alerts and this was tested while away, but during the night, my wife told me the alert didn't wake me up, but it did her. This was at the highest volume too!
That's my second concern, your partner and how they are affected. The volume is low & subtle, directed straight at your ears, but depending on volumes, it may be too loud for your partner. The audio quality is very good for it's purpose, low level background music, but nothing more than that. The pillow itself was comfortable, but a little too plump for me (I sleep quite flat).
The pillow retails for £50, which isn't too bad at all and with some of the features, could make the perfect investment for those wanting to nod off to an audiobook or your favorite album. As an anti snore device, it wasn't enough for me, but I am a very heavy sleeper!

Summary from Goodreads:
In the vein of Amelie and The Little Paris Bookshop, a modern fairytale about a French woman whose life is turned upside down when she meets a reclusive bookseller and his young daughter.
Juliette leads a perfectly ordinary life in Paris, working a slow office job, dating a string of not-quite-right men, and fighting off melancholy. The only bright spots in her day are her metro rides across the city and the stories she dreams up about the strangers reading books across from her: the old lady, the math student, the amateur ornithologist, the woman in love, the girl who always tears up at page 247.
One morning, avoiding the office for as long as she can, Juliette finds herself on a new block, in front of a rusty gate wedged open with a book. Unable to resist, Juliette walks through, into the bizarre and enchanting lives of Soliman and his young daughter, Zaide. Before she realizes entirely what is happening, Juliette agrees to become a passeur, Soliman's name for the booksellers he hires to take stacks of used books out of his store and into the world, using their imagination and intuition to match books with readers. Suddenly, Juliette's daydreaming becomes her reality, and when Soliman asks her to move in to their store to take care of Zaide while he goes away, she has to decide if she is ready to throw herself headfirst into this new life.
Big-hearted, funny, and gloriously zany, The Girl Who Reads on the Metro is a delayed coming-of-age story about a young woman who dares to change her life, and a celebration of the power of books to unite us all.
I was reading along, enjoying the plotless-finding-yourself-through-books storyline of The Girl Who Reads on the Métro AND THEN there was an Epilogue….with a POINT OF VIEW CHANGE. For some reason, totally unearned and unnecessary, the POV switched from a close third to a first person and UGH. I hates it Precious. Three stars.
(Also, this is translated from the French, but I can't figure out the translator is so I guess it's the author. The translation is fine.)
Dear FTC: I read a digital galley from the publisher via Edelweiss.

A versatile dough that can be shaped in multiple ways to form Traditional Pan Loaves, Bosom Loaves, Victorian Loaves, Big Soft Bread Twists, Cinnamon Sugar Wands, Cinnamon Swirl Loaves, Caramel Crown, and Home-Style Buttermilk Pan Rolls. I've also adapted the recipe based on pan size. It is important to put the correct amount of dough into a loaf pan. If you aren't sure what size your loaf pans are, measure them. I submitted an early incarnation of this recipe to Taste of Home magazine; it was featured on the cover in 2002.
In 2010 I entered Favorite Buttermilk Bread in several forms: Bosom Loaves, Big Soft Bread Twists, and Cinnamon Sugar Wands in the Jackson County Fair. All were blue ribbon or Champion winners and this helped me win the title 'Queen of the Kitchen' that year. For three 8″ x 4″ loaves (or two 9″ x 5″ loaves) 2 cups low-fat buttermilk 1 cup warm water 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 1/4 cup honey 2 cups *white whole wheat flour 4 tsp instant yeast 5 1/2 – 6 cups bread flour or unbleached all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp baking soda 2 tsp sea salt {If you are using all of the dough for sweets add 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract} For three 9″ x 5″ loaves 3 cups low-fat buttermilk 1 1/2 cups warm water 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 6 Tbs honey 3 cups white whole wheat flour 5 1/2 tsp instant yeast 8 cups bread flour or unbleached all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 Tbs sea salt {If you are using all of the dough for sweets add 2 tsp vanilla extract} 1. Heat buttermilk in a small saucepan (or in the microwave) until lukewarm. Curdling of milk will not hurt, but if you overheat it you will need to set it aside to cool. 2. Pour buttermilk into a large mixing bowl. Add warm water, melted butter, and honey. Stir with a wooden soon or heavy duty electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to combine. Add the white wheat flour and sprinkle the yeast in. Stir slowly until well combined; then add 3 cups of the bread flour, the baking soda, and salt. Stir thoroughly to combine, then beat for 2 minutes. Add remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time and stir to make soft workable dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. If dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon or two of additional flour as needed; if dough is too stiff add a tablespoon or two of water as needed to achieve proper consistency.
|Fold dough toward you, then push down and away with the heel of your hand; I often knead with both hands.
3. Lightly grease and then lightly sprinkle with all-purpose flour a clean work surface such as countertop or kitchen table. Turn dough out onto prepared surface, butter your palms, and knead 10 minutes, occasionally renewing the butter and flour as needed on your hands and/or work surface, until dough is smooth and resilient. Bread dough made with whole grain flour will retain a certain amount of stickiness. This is okay and does not need to be eliminated.
|Bowl should be large enough to allow dough to double in volume – and then some.
4. Place dough in a large greased bowl, turning to coat the top. Cover with a bread cloth, cotton (not terry cloth) dish towel, or plastic wrap. Allow to rise in a protected spot until doubled, about 1 hour.
|It's a good idea to remove jewelry when working with bread dough!
|Dough is fully fermented when indentation remains.
5. Gently deflate and lightly knead dough in the bowl, turning to present smooth side up, then cover again and let rise a second time, about 45 minutes. 6. Scrape work surface clean , and lightly grease once more. Also grease your loaf pans and a bench knife of chef's knife. Turn dough out and divide neatly into 3 portions with greased knife. Shape as desired** and place smooth side up in prepared pans. Cover and let rise until nicely curved over tops of pans, about 35 minutes. 7. Bake in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven 35 – 40 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. * One-fourth whole wheat to three-fourths bread flour is a good place to begin (in any bread recipe). As you and your family's tastes adapt to appreciate the nutty flavor of whole grains, you may increase the proportion incrementally until you reach your nutritional goal. You'll find that you need to slightly increase the amount of water as you increase the ratio of whole grain flour as the bran is quite absorbent. ** Shaping options include: (Type the name into the search bar for directions)

According to reliable source, Intel is going to collaborate with OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) for the new development of the low-cost laptop computer targeting for children in developing countries. OLPC is a non-profitable organization based in US that will coordinate the whole design and manufacturing of these low end laptops. Current version of the laptop known as XO-1 is using AMD's Geode microprocessor running at 433MHz. With the announcement, it also means that Intel will start a new development of the low cost design from scratch and is believed to use either Celeron M or Silverthorne which falls in similar product' price range as per AMD's Geode processor.
The XO-1 or sometimes known as $100 will focus on low cost and power, small size but yet reliable which is intended for children in developing countries to have access knowledge base through internet access. Similar to Geode LX-700, Silverthorne processor is famous for its low power dissipation, fan-less design and small package size suitable for embedded market. It has a low BOM (Bill Of Material) cost and can fit well at around $100 target price, even with all the chipset and peripherals accounted in. Besides, it poses a great advantage of smaller process technology of 45-nanometer over AMD's Geode processor which can help to bring down the whole final product's size and promote better heat dissipation.
Apart from Intel and AMD, OLPC is also looking for opportunities to work with Marvell Technology to utilize its Xscale based processor in this low end PC market. Whichever choice that they have made, it would definitely benefit all the poor children across the region with high end technology built into the design.

The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day.

In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. Yamaha Diagram Viking Wiring Yxm700pse. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component.

The first point of contact for health questions for many people these days is Dr. Google. But new, growing business areas like E-Health and Telemedicine along with the boom of health apps shows that the demands and needs of patients and clients have changed through digitalization.
Only one thing remains the same: The cost pressure healthcare institutions are under. The symptoms of change are clearly recognizable – but how to deal with them? The answer: Healthcare companies that are prepared for the future have agile thinking in their blood – often injected through a strategic realignment within the organization.
Recognize Chances Early
In order to withstand the cost pressures in healthcare, it is no longer enough to just reduce costs. Healthcare institutions must rethink their entire supply chain to make it more effective, more flexible and more productive. Establishing agile processes with cross-functional teams and focused communication is a step in the right direction and can drive long-term positive changes in the entire organizational culture.
Agile organizations can more easily solve current problems while at the same time being prepared for the challenges of the future. Agility focuses on continuous learning and thanks to early feedback loops is customer-oriented by design. That way you can be sure your organization does not lose sight of what is important when confronted with newer and always more complex technologies: the patients and the clients.
Agile transformation intervenes in the customary organizational processes and requires a steady hand. As an agile company ourselves, we have learned over the years how to work with agility. From this personal experience, as well as from our work with customers in the healthcare industry, we have developed strategies that you can use to develop teams, departments and the entire organization.
Our team of specialists understand the dynamics of your market environment and professionally accompany you during the entire transition. We help you understand what agile thinking means for management and how you can best deal with the transitional phase. With our practice-oriented training and workshops, we empower your employees to work with agile methods and ensure that everyone is aware of the role they play.
With borisgloger consulting, you are choosing a well-established strategic approach for the core of your business. We give you comprehensive consulting and together with you develop solutions that are tailored to the unique situation of your company.

The "New Record" Threat to Your Data Center
Posted on Tuesday, February 19, 2019
Anyone who has ever attended a concert knows "that" moment. There's a pause in the set as the lead singer announces "here's a track from our new album, in stores next month."
A quiet groan goes up from the audience, and there's a rush for the bar. The band does their best, but the atmosphere dies a little until they move back to the greatest hits.
From the Rolling Stones to U2 to Elton John, even the biggest names in music experience the same reaction. Everyone wants to hear 'Brown Sugar' and 'Paint It Black,' 'Just Your Fool.' not so much.
Over time those new records will go on to become fan favorites, a seamless part of future sets. But until then, the effect on the overall performance is largely negative.
New equipment, new problems
Similar issues exist in your data center, too. Adding new assets should deliver a marked improvement in terms of performance, capacity and availability. But there is always a dip in performance while the new systems settle in.
With a well-managed implementation strategy, you should be able to manage most of these problems– at least as far as end-users are concerned. There will always be teething issues that need to be worked through, but applications installed on top of the new storage layer should mainly operate relatively well.
It is in the back office that the biggest performance issues are likely to be encountered. It is the engineers who are called upon to correct teething issues, and, in doing so, their other responsibilities will be sidelined. New hardware causes an inevitable drain on resources initially, increasing the total cost of ownership.
Doing the math
As your business plans its next upgrade, you must remember to factor in the additional running costs during implementation and hand-over. When dealing with secondary or archive systems, those costs will quickly cancel out any savings. With a negligible benefit, would your organization be better advised to retain existing systems and choose a third-party maintenance provider to support them?
Rock n' Roll bands have the luxury of being able to change their setlist if new material is badly received. They can always fall back on the greatest hits to impress the crowd.
CTOs are not so lucky. If new hardware takes too long to deliver on expectations, there is no fallback option. Which is why you must seriously consider whether retaining existing systems may better serve your business in the short-term.
To learn more about how CDS can help you extend the lifespan of your existing storage assets and avoid embarrassing drops in performance, please get in touch.

Personally committed to a lifetime of fitness and an avid outdoorsman he qualified for and finished the lronman World Championship Triathlon in Hawaii three times. In 2004 he completed climbing all of the mountains over 4,000 feet high in the Adirondacks, to become an Adirondack 46r. In 2007 he and his son together finished climbing the 115 mountains over 4000 feet in the Northeast United States to become members of the NE 111ers. In 2014 he set a World Record for the longest continual row on a Concept 2 rowing machine for his age group. In 2016 he qualified for membership in the Iron Butt Association by riding a motorcycle 1,ooo miles in 24 hours.
Ron's experience spans several professions and different key leadership positions and his favorite roles have always been in the fitness industry. He had a very successful career in the YMCA and owned and managed a full service Health Club. As a Personal Fitness Trainer – he trains a wide variety of people including many top CEOs, business leaders, medical professionals, moms, teenagers, children, seniors and age group athletes. He was the Founder and Owner of CrossFit Gordon and the CFG Computrainer Multi-Rider Center.
At a very energetic ripe old age of 62, his life-plan called for something more and he created the 6-Figure Trainers Program for coaching and mentoring other business in achieving their business dreams. His clients enjoy great success, satisfaction, prosperity and balance in their lives.
In addition to his vast experience in the industry he brings to his clients a unique level of compassion gained from his teenage years when he was told that he would never be able to do anything athletic again.
Ron's answer to why he is so passionate about what he does, "I believe in fitness and the wellness lifestyle. I like seeing people do things that only a few weeks earlier they considered impossible, especially my latest passion – business owners. They are the life blood of the fitness industry."

Yang Fudong
Parasol unit
Yang Fudong's black-and-white film Fifth Night, 2010, offers an allegory of philosophical searching in Shanghai's old town over the course of one night in the 1920s. The roughly ten-minute piece (shot in 35 mm and transferred to HD video) follows several characters who, with pained expressions, wander around carriages, vintage cars, and a table set with laboratory-specimen jars (one with a live fish swimming around in it) as bicycle rickshaws pass by, workers attempt to repair an old tramcar, and men in business suits sit silently on a couch placed on a platform in the middle of the square. Throughout, the city appears more like a stage set than a real urban context. Yet despiteor perhaps because ofthe work's high production values, redoubled by its exquisite installation over seven screens mounted on one wall of Parasol Unit's largest gallery, it felt superficial.

Singapore has three universities:
1 Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
2 National University of Singapore (NUS)
3 Singapore Management University (SMU).
NUS offers Medical and Arts courses whereas NTU is purely engineering (Like IIT/Pilani).
NTU is big and when I say big I mean BIG. It has about 20,000 students out of which 20% are foreigners. NTU is one of the best (in terms of infrastructure and campus facilities) and recently feat (in Asia Week magazine) as one of the top 10 Engineering Colleges in Asia. Faculty is from all over the world and the Profs are dead serious about their work…they don't even bother with that additional extra tuition crap, as is the case with Profs teaching in Indian colleges.
For more info: www.ntu.edu.sg
How To Get Into A University
First question how to get into the University. For Indian students there are two options:
A) Direct admission through the University selection procedure.
B) Through the Singapore Airlines-Neptune Oil (SIA-NOL) scholarship. I got in directly, through the University
Success at the NTSE (National Talent Search Examination), IIT screening with ECAs & an above average percentage in 10th is a big plus point. They prefer CBSE and ICSE students. I know the State syllabus guys won't like this, but it's a fact. There aren't many state syllabus guys/gals in NTU. They short list some applicants for a written test (on Math's, Physics and English) in April. Pattern is Subjective something like the IIT mains but not quite as tough! During my admission they had taken 200 for test and finally chose 20. This is of course after the initial short-listing which could have had applications nearing the 1000 and more…
A) The University invites applications, along with Biodata, in December after the IIT screening with ECAs forming a big part in deciding who gets short listed to the next stage.
B) SIA-NOL also has a admission procedure of its own which is totally independent of the University's. These guys too ask for a Biodata in March and then shortlist people for a written test (which is GMAT in nature). Further short listing is done for the interview process and the finalists are selected. In my batch, through this scheme, again about 20 students were selected. This procedure is fairly popular in India since SIA-NOL advertises in all major Indian dailies.
So What Is It Going To Cost Ur Parents
If you go through (A) then around 10-12 lakhs over a period of 4 years. If go through (B) then Rs 0 since SIA-NOL offers scholarship. Now Singapore is a small country with not much resources – human/natural. it is smaller than Madras in size and population!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean any neighboring country can annex it within 6 hours. These guys have to be competitive in the World Economy to survive and for this they need professionals from all over the world. They do this by attaching a tag to the student who comes to study in Singapore.
What they say is "Guys, the fees here is around 21000S$ per year. Obviously we can't expect you to pay so much. So what we will do is we'll slash 15000S$ every year off and for this you guys have to work in Singapore for 3 yrs after graduation – any company." So every foreigner studying in Singapore has to work after graduation for 3 years. But if you take the SIA scholarship which pays the remaining 6000S$ and also gives you a monthly allowance then you have to work an extra 3 years making it Scheme (A): 3 years Scheme (B): 6 years
Now this is an important issue, 6 years is a very long time and any possibility of future studies is difficult Three years is a better time frame since by then you would have the required work-ex for an MBA. That's my thinking. Get the B Tech in 4 years; work for another 3 years and then push off for an MBA
Any thoughts that you will be working in a Godforsaken company which pays peanuts can be dispelled by the fact that Singapore is the Asia-Pacific Region centre for all MNCs. All of them have their offices here. Jobs will be of the highest order and the opportunities are ample. All this… provided you are good and have done well in college
A B. Tech in Singapore costs:
1. Tuitions Fees : 6220S$ + another 200S$ per year
2. Boarding : 155S$ per month
3. Monthly expenses : Approx 300-500S$ per month
Of course, loans are available which will take care of the fees and will also provide a living allowance. I was on that for my first year, but then I managed to get a scholarship offered by a US company named MICRON SEMICONDUCTORS.
This is the most important fact that people overlook. You can get scholarships after joining college also!! I applied for this scholarship in my second sem of the first year and got it. Of course I shall have to work with these guys for 3 years but this overlaps with the 3 years I had anyway allocated for work ex and Micron is a Fortune 500 company. I definitely don't mind!!!
Why Study In Singapore?
First what are the choices for a Indian student.
1. IIT- Damn tough…assuming chances are 50-50%.
2. Pilani – Again very tough for CBSE/ICSE. You have to get 95% or above
3. US/UK – Very expensive and scholarships at the undergrad level are few
4. Singapore/Australia – Affordable and good.
I got a rank of 3,600 in IIT and would have got into it if I had tried a second time. I got 95% in CBSE; again I might have got into PiIani. US/UK no way…..I am not that rich. Singapore I applied and I got through.
I finally chose Singapore since it was a good choice.I would have a foothold in the US (ultimately I want to do my MBA from there). The job market is definitely better in Singapore as compared to India.
The Univ is world class and is affiliated to various US and UK Universities.
The fees are affordable for the facilities provided. You anyways pay around Rs 80,000-1,00,000, in India, for a decent engineering seat.
All these factors made me pick NTU and I have been convinced over the last 1 year that I have made the correct decision. Hope to see some of you, reading this, in NTU…….

White Star Records is a new record label project created by two dedicated music obsessives! The project combines the skills of John Mitchell (singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer) and Chris Hillman (owner and founder of Magick Eye Records). The pair met in 2013 when Chris was using John's own recording studio, Outhouse Studios, for a band on his long standing Magick Eye Records Label. They found they had lots of ideas in common and became firm friends. Many discussions (and pub meals!) followed during which the collaboration of White Star Records was born. The ethos behind the label is simply to release great music, that both John & Chris enthuse about, with no restrictions on style or genre. The first release was the exclusive 'The Nostalgia Factory' EP by John Mitchell and signings now include Kim Seviour, Voices From the Fuselage and Kepler Ten.

One of the grandest building projects in early Renaissance Florence was the construction of a new cathedral in 1296. It was a civic as much as a religious undertaking, and the monument captured the ambition and spirit of the city. The building and its impressive marble facade were designed by Arnolfo di Cambio, Florence's most celebrated sculptor and architect at that time. Although work progressed quickly, Arnolfo died with barely a third of the facade realized.
A sixteenth-century drawing indicates that this sculpture, essentially a high relief, was placed above the main entrance of the cathedral, flanking a large statue of the Virgin and Child that was at the center of the tympanum. The skillful handling of the marble, the deeply undercut drapery, and brilliant drill work, especially in the angel's hair, reveal the close observation of, and renewed interest in, ancient sculpture that was an essential underpinning of the Renaissance. This marble is the only sculpture from the original facade that exists outside Europe.

U.S. Rep. Brendan Boyle (D. Pa.) told House members on Thursday they should "say no to Oreo" because Mondelez International Inc. has decided to close the Philadelphia plant that manufactures Oreo cookies and Ritz crackers and relocate the production to Mexico.
The Northeast plant employs 350 workers.
"Now, keep in mind this is a company, Mondelez, that is in no way in financial disarray. In fact, their revenues last year topped $50 billion," Boyle said on the House floor in Washington. "This plant that was closed is profitable, but not profitable enough."
Mondelez could not be immediately reached for comment.


text: This article doesn't say anything about a corporate headquarters and consolidation in a new office tower. *Actually the article talks about how it is rennovating its existing properties, not to mention leasing space in other properties around the city. *This doesn't look good for a new tower next to the UN.

The Real Housewives of Dallas' D'Andra Simmons Addresses Her Claims About Brandi Redmond and Adderall
Does the RHOD entrepreneur regret her comments?
Brandi Redmond has a bone to pick with D'Andra Simmons this season of The Real Housewives of Dallas. The RHOD mom shared in the Season 3 premiere Wednesday night that she had heard D'Andra claimed Brandi abuses Adderall during an interview with a podcast that had subsequently been picked up by the blogs. Brandi declined the invitation to D'Andra's fourth wedding anniversary party as a result.
D'Andra explained her comments during a recent interview with PEOPLE Now. "It was an interview about me and somebody asked me what my biggest fear was. I said my biggest fear was I was worried about my weight. I've always worried about my weight, I've always had a weight problem and all these girls are so thin. I said, 'Oh, but you know, they all take Adderall.' It was a generalization, because it's a Dallas thing, that women, you know — 'Would you like a Tic Tac? Would you like an Adderall? Would you like a drink?'"
D'Andra went on to say that she "misspoke," and she now regrets making those comments. "I did the wrong thing and I own up to it, so I apologized to her," she said.
Brandi shared in her latest Bravotv.com blog that she felt like D'Andra's comments came out of left field. "I was honestly shocked at her claim about me abusing Adderall. It made me feel disgusted because she had not taken the time to question me, get to know me or find out if I had even remotely had a problem," she wrote. "She should have come directly to me out of concern. It didn't seem like the person that I thought she was for so long."
Though D'Andra is taking responsibility for her mistakes, she also shared that she and Brandi could have hashed out their issues prior to her anniversary party in her blog on Bravotv.com. "The whole thing could have been cleared up with a phone call, and I would have most definitely owned up to the things I said. I don't know if she wasn't ready to hear my apology before or if she was too busy to confront me. It would have been nice to have our issues behind us to celebrate the occasion as friends," she wrote. "I am sorry for the things that I said in a podcast last year. It was never a personal attack on you!"
What will happen when D'Andra and Brandi finally come face-to-face in next Wednesday's episode of RHOD at 9/8c? Check out a sneak peek, above.
Drama is also on the horizon for D'Andra and her mom, Mama Dee. Watch a preview, below.

August 22, 2017 MC No Comments on 9 Web Design Mistakes You Should Avoid Now
9 Web Design Mistakes You Should Avoid Now
Graphic design is essentially an art and a powerful tool of communication. For a business, it is a crucial marketing element that can make or break your business. Obviously, creativity is a key factor in order to effectively and strategically communicate your message, especially in an intensely competitive market. But sometimes, designers forget that they are creating a website for a target audience that the design fails to underscore its intended purpose.
Keeping in mind that your design must be able to flawlessly convey your message, the same can be said on how you can avoid committing mistakes in your creative process. Here are 9 web design blunders that you must steer clear from:
Miscommunication or lapses in creative brief
We have been emphasizing the importance of communication from the get-go. Design mistakes can be avoided if all the details have been laid out before you even start the project. A creative brief (or definition) is the first step in the process. If the client has provided a comprehensive brief, then the designer can already form an abstract early on.
Establish an open channel that will allow either party to ask/receive feedback and make inquiries along the way without hesitation. Don't forget to keep your client up-to-date with the progress. Even though you are on schedule and you feel that things are going smoothly, your client may feel ignored. A progress report isn't just a mark of professionalism, it also shows initiative.
Poor readability
All the knowledge in the world is useless if nobody can read your content properly. An effective web design is not limited to use of colors and space and having an impressive interface, but a massive portion of it is selecting the right font. Poor judgment in this area alone can lead to failure.
Choose the color, type, weight, and spacing that best fit the overall theme (you can test various color schemes using Adobe Kuler). Show restraint in choosing your font, preferably a maximum of two.
Ineffective navigation
Your website navigation must be seamless. Users should be able to find their way within your website easily and conveniently. It must be intuitive and consistent. The layout should be visually pleasant and not overwhelming. Spend time in optimizing your search box and ensure it is well-placed, along with your call-to-action (CTA).
The U.S. Navy's design principle endures: K.I.S.S. or "Keep it simple, stupid!" Business or company websites, in particular, require clarity and should convey efficiency and professionalism. Too many images can be distracting – select what can best illustrate your message. If you are using animation, ask yourself first: is it absolutely necessary? If it helps reinforce your brand, and will not greatly affect buffering time, then proceed cautiously.
Also relevant is considering which social share buttons to include and where to place them. Select which ones will best increase site traffic, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+.
Not taking advantage of white space
Striking a healthy balance between visual elements and white space guides your consumer's eye exactly where you want them to be. Do not be tempted to fill out that negative space with unnecessary and distracting details that takes the focus away from your central message.
Maintaining that space encourages the user to explore more, increase content legibility, highlights functions that require urgency (e.g. call-to-action), and separates unrelated graphics to improve the overall layout.
Mismatched/wrong design formats
Saving a file sounds so simple, yet it is one of the most overlooked steps in an efficient design process. A lot of design software allows users to save in different file formats and extensions, but knowing which one is the required type for your design is just as important as finishing your work.
Think about how and where the finished product will be used. Does it need to be in vector format? How should it be compressed? These will guide you in deciding how your file should be saved.
Skimping on software and images
Investing on professional software is not a luxury if it yields more benefits than drawbacks such as limited features common with free programs or design software. Think about the sales opportunity you could have taken advantage of and the amount of work you could have done with an efficient, industry-standard program.
Stock photography is a quick, affordable option but if you can spare it, better to invest in purchasing photographs that guarantee exclusive use in any capacity. It provides a unique touch to your brand and more importantly, you can save yourself from potential headache usually caused by copyright issues.
Stop it with the auto-play music
This is only cool if you're still stuck in 2006.
But really, not only will it slow your website down (eats up your bandwidth), it's obtrusive. It doesn't suggest professionalism at all. Besides, there's a high chance that you might not share the same music taste with your website visitors.
If you need further proof, the number one worst website in 2006 was, you know it, MySpace.
Not testing
This cannot be overstated: test, test, and always test. Just as much as you ensure your web copy is proofread and edited before publishing, apply the same scrutiny with your website. Is it optimized for all browsers and mobile devices? Is your layout consistent? Does your contact or registration form work? Have you checked for dead links? Have you applied the correct tags and descriptions? Are your images in high resolution?
But also remember: testing your website is not a one-time thing. Make it a habit to routinely check your website and update when necessary.
To make sure your website is functioning smoothly and the design flawless, get help from the experts! MicroCreatives is a creative design agency that specializes in graphic and web design, web development, and content writing.

The National Audit Office's second investigation into funding awarded to the Big Society Network, and its parent body the Society Network Foundation, was published last week. It is peppered with descriptions of Big Society Network's activity by those who funded it as 'disappointing' 'weak' 'concerns' and 'performed poorly'. And yet, despite all the disappointment those funders obviously felt the money continued to roll in. Over £3 million pounds of public money in total.
I don't know about you, but if I see someone wasting £3 million pounds of public money 'disappointing' doesn't even begin to describe it. I would be incandescent with rage. I would be fuming. Completely and utterly livid.
What is disappointing is that those holding the purse strings on trust for all of us can be so blasé about such a scandalous waste of public money. That is certainly disappointing.
What is also disappointing is the lack of responsibility the Prime Minister is taking over this whole sorry affair.
Consider the facts as the NAO present them:
The Prime Minister's Office "asked the Minister for Civil Society to renew funding" – this after the Cabinet Office had withdrawn funding for one Big Society Network project and been judged to be performing poorly in its wider contribution to the Big Society. As a result BSN were awarded further funds.
Officials at the Cabinet Office advised that it "would not be appropriate to grant fund an organisation that is in financial difficulty or that is struggling to appropriately manage its financial affairs".
When Society Network Foundation eventually filed their statutory accounts (several months late) they showed a deficit of £181,000. Clearly someone with the authority to do so decided to ignore the advice.
The Prime Minister's Big Society advisor, Lord (Nat) Wei – and a founder of the Big Society Network, who had stood down as its Chair to take up his governmental role – had asked Nesta to fund BSN. Nesta was an Non Departmental Public Body at this time (now it is a charity) and reported to the Department for Business. Liam Black, who was a trustee of Nesta at the time, has stated very clearly that the request may not have come as a diktat in a written memo, but he still described it as being 'forced' to fund them.
The PM launched Big Society Network at Downing Street.
He has though been (un)surprisingly quiet on its fall from grace or his own role in the affair.
Steve Moore, the former CEO of the Big Society Network, has published his own take on the affair – having been somewhat quiet over recent months. He suggests Shadow Charities Minister Lisa Nandy and publications such as Civil Society News are wrong to focus on the role of the Prime Minister in decisions about funding for BSN. Moore suggests that their claims of the PM being involved are 'absurd' and concludes that "Politics may have contributed…more to the demise of Society Network Foundation than they ever did to its life".
Certainly the questions surrounding the Big Society Network have become political, but I would suggest things became politicised the day David Cameron chose to personally launch it at No.10, having appointed one of its founders as his Big Society Advisor and giving him a Peerage.
BSN's CEO at the time, Paul Twivy, is quoted in the No. 10 official press release as saying:
"The Big Society network will be an independently-funded and run voice of the citizen, enabler of the citizen and partner to government."
That description sounds rather ridiculous in hindsight.
At its launch, the Prime Minister said BSN would be "an organisation that brings all the elements of the Big Society together". Ironically in light of its demise, I suspect that statement might be something that even Big Society's fiercest critics might find themselves agreeing with.

Office 365 Versus G Suite: Which Cloud Service is Best for Your Business?
A common question that we often get as an IT Support Company:
"We want to move to the cloud – would you recommend Office 365 or G Suite?" Having several years of experience with cloud migrations for small-medium sized business, there are a number of factors to consider when making this decision. But don't worry, we are here to help!
Both G Suite and Office 365 offer a plethora of capabilities with several factors to consider. Looking at your company's specific situation can help you determine which solution is a better fit for your business needs.
G Suite: Microsoft Office 365:
|E-mail, Tasks, Contacts, and Calendaring
|Pros: Simple and efficient. Can work with outlook but it doesn't always work well.
Cons: Creating well-formatted emails with pictures or attachments, or creating repeating calendar entries with invitations to external users.
|Pros: Single integrated app (Outlook).
More powerful software for complex email, contacts and calendar capabilities.
|File Sharing
|Google Drive: File storage and synchronization service that offers both online and offline access to files.
Cons: It's not as easy to save files to Google Drive from third-party cloud services.
|One Drive: Shared file service.
Pros: You can easily migrate thousands of folders to Office 365 while retaining existing Active Directory security group privileges.
|Chat, Voice & Video Conferencing
|Google Hangouts: Chat, voice and video communications with seamless communications and strong user interface on mobile apps.
|Skype for Business: Chat, voice and video conferencing with both internal and external contacts.
Cons: Skype's 2018 user interface overhaul is frustrating some users.
|Google Sites: Allows users to simply create and share information, such as project sites, with team members.
|SharePoint: Allows users to create and share information with coworkers via a web interface. It also allows users to edit Word documents or Excel spreadsheets online simultaneously.
|Word Processor
|Google Docs: Online word processor which works well for simple word processing.
Pros: Google enables multiple users to collaborate and edit the same document simultaneously from different locations.
|Microsoft Word: The leading word processing software.
Pros: Allows you to view and edit complex Word documents on your iPad.
|Google Sheets: Simple, web-based spreadsheet.
Pros: Google enables multiple users to collaborate and edit the same simple spreadsheet simultaneously from different locations.
|Microsoft Excel: Allows you to view and edit simple Excel spreadsheets online and in the Excel app.
Pros: For complex spreadsheets, like a sophisticated financial model, you need to use Windows or macOS.
|Google Slides: Build simple presentations in your web browser.
|Microsoft PowerPoint: Use range from simple slide presentations to intricate pitch decks.
Pros: Many projectors can display PowerPoint natively.
|Third-Party Add-Ons
|GSuite: Google offers the ability to add third-party modules to G Suite, especially Gmail.
Most cloud services integrate with both G Suite and Office 365.
|Microsoft Office: Microsoft's Office 365 Store offers a wide range of third-party apps to enhance Office 365. Most cloud services integrate with both Office 365 and G Suite.
Pros: There's a much larger library of third-party modules, such as project management or purchase order approval, that you can incorporate into Office 365 and SharePoint.
