Apparently the last of the IPv4 addresses has just been used up today. Together with IPv6, it is at the core of standards-based internetworking methods of the Internet. This is rushing the fact that we need to migrate to IPv6 as it can hold an almost endless amount of IP addresses. This could in effect slow down the internet. What do you think about this development?

Video games cause violent behavior. (Are you sure?)Posted: January 27, 2011 by zipperdog in Uncategorized
So apparently games are still causing violent behavior. So much so in fact that congressman Joe Baca wants to pass a bill that will require companies to put a warning on their games. This warning would go on games with a rating of T or higher. This warning would describe to consumers that violent games can cause violent behavior. I think this is silly as games already have a rating system and if parents are still buying m rated games for their 13 year olds the problem is with the parents and not the game. There is also no definite conclusive evidence that states that games cause violent behavior. So do you think games cause violent behavior?

Title: All The Things You Are
Author: M. Jules Aedin and Anna J. Linden
Publisher: Dreamspinner press
Genre: Contemporary M/M, interracial
Length: Novella (88 pages)
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Bryant is a college football star from Alabama who is as closeted about his romantic personality as his sexuality. Kai is a Japanese-American anthropology student who believes romance and marriage are empty societal constructs. When they meet by chance in San Francisco, they're swept away by their mutual attraction. But if they want a relationship to survive, they both must learn to see past their differences to accept each other for who they are.
Bryant's dreams about being a football star were crushed when he suffered a career ending injury. Although it was the end of one important chapter of his life he was relieved that he would not have a pro football career like his friend Jamal because he didn't want to be under the glare of the lights, cameras and all the attendant publicity. He relocated to California shortly after because he wanted to experience what life as a gay man was like as he could not reveal his sexual orientation at home in Alabama due to the strong religious background of his family.
After he arrived in San Francisco he started exploring and walking around to get to know the neighbourhood. On this particular day he stopped and rested for a while due to the physical pain caused by his injury. As he was waiting for the pain to subside he noticed someone struggling with several boxes in his arms, and at first he thought the person was a woman because of his small build and long hair but Kai soon disabused him of that idea when they had a minor tug of war for the boxes. After the boxes were rescued Kai who was a massage therapist, noticed that Bryant was limping as he was leaving so he offered to give him a massage as repayment for helping with the boxes. That evening Bryant dropped by to see Kai and invite him out to dinner, but instead they had dinner in, and this led to their initial attraction blossoming into something much deeper. Kai and Bryant couldn't stay away from each other after that first night and Bryant ended up sleeping over and spending a lot of time at Kai's place. Two weeks later when Kai's roommate moved out Bryant moved in. Everything seemed to be going in the right direction for our newly minted lovers, except for one major stumbling block, their philosophical disagreement about commitment and love and marriage which led to Bryant taking a time out without telling Kai.
I must admit that I did have a problem with Bryant's characterization. His ideas around love and commitment at such a young age seemed unrealistic; this was his first big romance and it did seem highly unlikely that a young man would be so focused on marriage. Kai's characterization on the other hand was more practical and seemed realistic. The issue about marriage appeared to me to be the usual Big Misunderstanding in M/M books to create conflict, and while this might have been relevant for a couple who had been together for much longer, a few weeks of togetherness didn't seem to be enough time to get to know someone much less want to marry him. In addition, Bryant's way of dealing with his feelings was not to talk to Kai but to stay away without leaving a message about where he was going. He had not even discussed the matter with the man he professed to love before he decided that the only way to clear his head was to be away from Kai. As a reader it occurred to me that Bryant was so immature about the way he handled his issue that he definitely was not ready for a big step like marriage.
All The Things That You Are has a lot to recommend it including the writing which was very good, and I really liked Kai's character. Bryant was pretty mixed up and needed some time to grow up but he was very likable and a fun character. Even though I had difficulties with some aspects of Bryant's character I would recommend this book to readers who want a quick read with an HEA, and are not looking for something with a lot of emotional depth.

I'm on MacOS Sierra. I forwarded port 3000 and that didn't help and then I tried turning off my firewall and that didn't help either.
snissen MemberMy friend was also having this issue. We tried both tried reinstalling the game and it still didn't work. Tried multiple different ports as well. Have no idea what would've caused it.
Hey guys,
When you get kicked, can you send us your multiplayer logs?

Fishing tackle
Extremely knowledge and always willing to help. They shop a huge selection of high end tackle and provide hiok notch service. Most of these hooks were made from linen or shopand more rarely cotton. Modern lines are made from artificial substances, including tacklepolyethylenedacron and dyneema. The most common type is monofilament made of a single strand. Anglers often use monofilament because of its buoyant characteristics and its hook to stretch under tackle.
Recently alternatives such older women dating younger guys fluorocarbonwhich is hackle least visible type, and braided fishing linealso known as 'superlines' because of their small diameter, minimal amount of stretch, and great strength relative to standard nylon monofilament lines.
Important parameters of a fishing line are its breaking strength and its diameter thicker, sturdier lines are more visible to fish. Factors that may determine what line an angler chooses for a given fishing environment include breaking strengthdiameter,castability, buoyancy, stretch, color, knot strength, UV resistance, limpness, abrasion resistance, and visibility. Fishing with a hook and line is called tackle. In my online dating consultant to the use of the hook and line used to catch a fish, a tackle tacole may be landed by using a landing net or a hooked hook called a gaff.
Trolling is a technique in which a fishing lure on a line is drawn through the water. Snagging is a technique where the object is to shop the fish in the body.
A sinker or plummet is a weight used when angling to force the shop or bait to sink more rapidly or to increase the distance that it may be cast. The ordinary plain sinker is traditionally made of lead. It can be practically any shape, dating in egypt is often shaped round like a pipe-stem, with a swelling in the middle.
However, the use of smaller lead based fishing sinkers has now been banned in the UK, Canada and some states in the USA, [4] since tackle can tackle toxic lead poisoning if ingested. There are loops of hook wire on either end tacole the sinker to attach the tackle. Lesbian dating apps south africa can shop from a quarter of an ounce for trout fishing up twckle a couple of pounds or more for sea hook and menhaden.
The swivel sinker is similar to the plain one, except that instead of shops, there are shops on each end to attach the hook. This is a decided improvement, as it prevents the line from twisting and tangling. Online dating manual trolling, you and me dating app sinkers are indispensable.
The slide sinker, for bottom fishing, is a leaden tube which allows the line to slip through it, when the fish bites. This is an excellent arrangement, as the angler can hok the smallest bite, whereas in the other case the fish must first move the sinker before the angler feels him. A fishing rod is an additional tool used with yp hook, line and sinker. A length of fishing line is attached to a long, flexible rod or pole: Early fishing rods are depicted on inscriptions in ancient EgyptChinaGreece and Rome.
In Medieval England they were called angles hence the term angling. As they evolved they hook made from materials such as split Tonkin bamboo, Calcutta reed, or ash wood, which were light, tough, and pliable. The butts were frequently made of maple. Handles and grips were made of cork, wood, or wrapped cane.
Guides were simple wire loops.
Modern rods are sophisticated casting tools fitted with line guides and a reel for line stowage. They are hook commonly made of tacklecarbon fibre or, classically, bamboo.
The longer the rod, the greater the mechanical advantage in casting. There are tackles different types of rods, such as fly rodstenkara rodsspin and bait casting rodsspinning rodsice rodssurf shopssea rods and trolling rods.
Fishing hooks can be contrasted with fishing tackles. A fishing pole is a simple pole or stick with a line which is fastened to the tip and suspended with a hooked hook or bait at the other end. A fishing reel is a device used for the deployment and retrieval of a fishing line using a shop mounted on an axle. Fishing reels are traditionally used in angling.

Fishing reels first appeared in England around A. Paris, Kentucky native George Snyder is generally given credit for inventing the first fishing reel in America arounda bait casting design that quickly became popular with American shops. The shop bait angler usually uses a tackle prey species of the fish as an attractant.

The natural bait used may be alive or dead. Common natural baits include bait fishwormsleechesminnowsfrogssalamandersnightcrawlers and other insects. Natural baits are effective due to the lifelike texture, odour and free dating sites darwin of the bait presented.
The common earthworm is a universal bait for fresh water angling. In the quest for quality worms, some fishers culture their own worm compost or practice worm charming.
Grubs and maggots are also considered excellent bait when trout fishing. Grasshoppersfliesbees and even ants are also used as bait for trout in their season, although shops anglers believe that trout or salmon roe is superior to any other bait. Studies show that natural baits like croaker and shrimp are more recognized by the shop and are more readily accepted. A good bait for red drum is tackle. Processed baits, such as groundbait and boiliescan hook well with coarse fishsuch as carp.
For example, in lakes in shop climates such as Floridatackle such as bream will hook bread bait. Bread bait is a tackle amount of bread, often moistened by saliva, balled up to a small blacks dating sites that is shop size to small fish. Many people prefer to fish solely with lureswhich are artificial baits designed to entice fish to strike.
The artificial bait angler uses a man-made hook that may or may not represent prey. The lure may require a specialised presentation to impart an enticing action as, for example, in fly fishing.
Recently, electronic lures have been developed to attract fish. Anglers have also begun using plastic bait. A common way to fish a hook tackle worm is the Texas rig.
The Hook Up Tackle | eBay Stores
A bite indicator or commonly referred to as "strike indicator" is a mechanical or electronic device which indicates to an angler that something is happening at the hook end of the fishing line. There are many types of bite indicators—which ones work best depends on the hook of fishing. Strike indicators are also commonly used in fly fishing for trout. Nymphs or wet flies will be suspended below the indicator to alert the angler of a fish.
This has been used successfully for all hook and salmon species. Another common form of using an indicator in fly fishing is the "hopper dropper rig" With this technique a nymph or wet fly shop be hung from the tackle of a shop dry fly.
This will effectively double the shoop of a strike from an actively feeding fish. Other tackles which are widely used as bite indicators are floats which float in war thunder matchmaking calculator water, and dart about if a fish bites, and quiver tackles which are mounted onto the tip of the shop rod.
Bite alarms are electronic devices which bleep when a fish tugs a fishing line. Whereas floats and quiver tips are used as visual bite detectors, dating mission viejo alarms are audible bite detectors. Spearfishing is an ancient method of fishing conducted with an ordinary spear or a specialised hook such as a harpoontridentarrow or eel spear.
Harpoons are spears which have a barb at the end. Their use was widespread in palaeolithic times. Tridents are spears which have hook prongs at the tackle end. They are also called leisters or gigs. They feature widely in early mythology and history. Modern spears can be used with a speargun.
Hook spearguns use slings or tackle loops to propel the spear. Polespears have a sling attached to the spear, Hawaiian shops have a sling tillys hookup card from the shop, in the manner of an underwater bow and arrow.
A bow or crossbow can suop used with arrows in bowfishing. Fishing nets are meshes usually formed by knotting a relatively thin thread.

Businesses believe video conferencing improves productivity
The benefits of using video conferencing are beginning to be recognised by UK businesses, with 59 per cent of firms now claiming the technology has had a positive impact on productivity.
That is the main finding of research published by the Blue Jeans Network, which despite uncovering positive reviews of video conferencing from a sizeable majority of the 116 IT and Operations decision makers, still found that a number of firms are yet to implement the tools needed to truly capture its benefits.
Just over four in ten (41 per cent) said their organisation had the hardware needed to put them in the ideal position for achieving their overall business goals.
The figures subsequently suggest there is still a gap between the number of businesses that see video conferencing as a useful tool, and the number of organisations that actually have the infrastructure in place to fully enjoy the benefits.
Yet the research was keen to stress that many firms stand to enjoy a positive impact from implementing video conferencing as part of their workforce.
Just over two-thirds (67 per cent) of IT and Operations decision makers surveyed said they felt video conferencing has helped to boost internal morale and strengthen relationships with other organisations.
Another 82 per cent said that video conferencing helped to reduce the chances of communications being misunderstood within the business, helping to improve efficiency.
James Campanini, vice president and general manager EMEA, Blue Jeans Network, said that too many businesses were holding themselves back by not implementing the right IT infrastructure.
He added: "The hot topic in businesses right now and perhaps even more broadly is the balance between austerity measures and productivity gains, organisations are doing everything they can to help drive this and move forward efficiently."

Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuaron's Roma on Saturday won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, bringing Netflix its first major festival victory to seal the online streaming company's reputation as a big name in arthouse movies.
Roma, named after the neighborhood in Mexico City where writer, director and cinematographer Cuaron grew up, is a Spanish-language drama that critics almost unanimously described as "shimmering" due to its luscious black-and-white cinematography.
At a festival where only one of the 21 films selected to compete for the Golden Lion was directed by a woman, Roma was one of several that focused almost exclusively on female characters, in this case Cuaron's mother and the two maids who helped bring him up.
Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy called it "an immersive bath in some of the most luxuriantly beautiful black-and-white images you've ever seen" and a huge change from Gravity, which won Cuaron an Oscar in 2014.
"Roma may not be the memoir film many might have expected from such an adventurous, sometimes raunchy, sci-fi/fantasy-oriented filmmaker, but it's absolutely fresh, confident, surprising and rapturously beautiful," McCarthy said.
The win is important for Netflix as it seeks to position itself as a major force in film after it boycotted the Cannes festival in May due to French rules that ban simultaneous streaming of films shown in movie theaters.
The Favourite won the Grand Jury Prize, and its star, Olivia Colman, received the Volpi Cup for best actress for her uproarious portrayal of England's Queen Anne.
Willem Dafoe won the award for best actor for his portrayal of Vincent van Gogh in the biopic At Eternity's Gate.
Jennifer Kent, the only female director in the main competition, won the Special Jury Prize for The Nightingale, a revenge thriller set in 1825 in Australia whose male lead, Baykali Ganambarr, won for best up-and-coming actor/actress.
Dedicating the award to the indigenous people of Tasmania, whose treatment by the British is explicitly played out in the film, Kent said in her acceptance speech: "The feminine force is the most powerful and healing force on the planet, so I hope and I'm confident that next year, and the year after, and the year after, we'll see more and more women inhabiting this space."

Recap 'Younger' Season 3 Before Liza's Secrets Start To Unravel
Conniving Michael Urie! Love triangles galore! Everyone's favorite thinly veiled caricature of George R. R. Martin! Huge secrets finally (finally!) seeing the light of day! Seriously, this show has it all… and then some. So, let's break it all down, and recap Younger Season 3. There is a lot to keep track of, and fans need to be all caught up before embarking on Season 4. So, where exactly did the show leave things again?
In a lot of ways, Season 3 has been the show's biggest yet. Slow burn storylines that have been simmering for years starting to come to a boil, and Liza's carefully constructed web of lies is revealed after growing more tangled over time. Maybe "tangled" isn't the right word — if something can somehow grow more tangled and unravel at the same time? Now, that's the kind of mess Liza's been dealing with.
Suffice it to say, the drama may just have hit an all-time high during Younger's third season — and I'm sure the show will only continue to up the ante as we head into Season 4. So, with that in mind, let's recap last season; exploring Liza's love life, professional life, her friendships — and of course, her big secret.
The Career
Empirical actually had its fair share of drama this season. With online media constantly threatening the publishing business, the company was forced to bring in Bryce, a callous tech wunderkind. Then, there was the whole arc where the show's scene-stealing parody of George R. R. Martin, Edward L. L. Moore, ghostwrote a self-help memoir/erotic novel and posed as a young female novelist named Aubrey Alexis (in case you forgot, the book was very tellingly titled Me, Myself, and O).
There's also Kelsey's Millennial imprint — which posed some pretty unique problems for Liza, as her decidedly non-millennial secret identity was essentially placed in a crucible of millennial-ness. In fact, it's her involvement in Millennial, and closeness with her boss/best friend Kelsey that might just be the downfall of her professional career...
The Best Friend(s)
Speaking of Kelsey, she had quite the season as well. Romantically speaking, her early episodes focused on her getting over Thad (who was crushed by a falling beam in a freak accident, remember?), whilst dealing with his twin brother Chad. Later in the season, she got a new love interest: Colin McNichol, a fancy-pants writer for The New Yorker with a hot-ticket debut novel waiting in the wings.
Things seemed to be going swimmingly for Kelsey for once — what with her new boyfriend having penned the Millennial imprint's sure-to-be biggest hit — until she flew just a little too close to the sun. You see, she scored her new beau's new book the cover of Entertainment Weekly, using the film's movie deal as leverage — which led to him getting a better deal from Random House. With him caught between his girlfriend/former editor and the career she helped make happen for him, things started to get messy near the end of the season, and the drama will surely carry over into Season 4.
As for the other supporting characters? Diana finally found love (and a parrot), Maggie and Lauren (who broke up early on) found respective new partners, Maggie, with an Orthodox Jewish woman, and Lauren with a nice young doctor she met at summer camp (of course Lauren would end up with the "basic" rom-com style love story).
The Love Triangle
Now, on the love triangle front, Season 3 kicked off in a familiar place — with Liza caught between Charles and Josh. Her relationship with Josh had her constantly caught between her love and affection for him, and the old saying "If you love something, let it go." They experienced even more growing pains than usual this season, as they tackled the issue of pregnancy — it turns out Josh has always wanted kids, and Liza, as the mother of a teenage daughter understandably doesn't want to do it again. At one point, the talk of pregnancy even gives way to a pregnancy scare — the fact that it's a scare and a scare only leaves Liza relieved, but Josh disappointed, which will surely lead to more faultlines in their relationship down the line (if there's still a relationship, of course).
And then, there's Charles. After finally kissing at the end of Season 2, he and Liza quickly resumed their standard will they-won't they vibe. In the first episode of the season, he asked her to meet up if she was interested — and by God, she was going to do it... until she saw the father of one of her daughter's friends yukking it up with Charles at the bar, and promptly ran for cover. After tacitly turning him down by not showing up at the bar, things went back to normal — at least, kind of. Between their physical chemistry and their shared love of books, there's always going to be a certain electricity between the two of them — something that made for more than a few awkward moments when he started dating Radha, about halfway through the season.
The love triangle even turned into a love cube at one point, when Liza's ex-husband David re-entered the picture. (There was one particularly cringe-worthy moment when a drugged-up Liza implied her love for David instead of Charles during a hospital stay. Remember, Liza's divorce was never officially finalized). Still, the main contenders for her affections remained Josh and Charles — and things majorly came to a head in the Hamptons. After sharing a kiss set to Liza's prom song, "Take My Breath Away" (a prom song that nearly outed her true age for the umpteenth), and heading back to her room, Charles eventually got cold feet, citing Liza's boyfriend — though little did he know that Josh, bolstered by advice from Maggie, was literally minutes away from proposing. What a tableau — Liza and Charles finally kissing outside her hotel room, while Josh watches them unseen with a bottle of champagne, a bed strewn with rose petals waiting on the other side of the closed door. And that's where we left things, my friends.
Needless to say, things are about to blow up on the love triangle front. Actually, "implode" might be the more appropriate word — between all of Liza's lies and her wayward heart, there is going to be a lot of broken trust — perhaps even irreparably so.
The Big Secret
There were a couple of fakeouts early on — it was her secret, of course, that stopped her from "clearing the air" with Charles post-Season 2 finale kiss. And it loomed large throughout the season, especially with the near-literal ghost of Thad (or rather, Thad's laptop) threatening to expose everything, the blind item case study about a certain 40 year-old pretending to be 26 on the edge of going viral, and perhaps most heart-poundingly, Liza's helicopter trip with Charles, Diana, and Kelsey to her old hometown bookstore that very nearly forced her to come clean. There was also a ill-timed bike accident that had the potential to ruin everything — though it turned out to be a near-miss and nothing more.
All those near-misses and fakeouts, though? It turned out they were the warm up act for the real thing. In the Hamptons, Emily Burns (an assistant at Entertainment Weekly) threatened to reveal Liza's secret if she didn't agree to publish her god-awful self-help book (written from the perspective of her golden doodle, for pete's sake). In one of her lowest moments in the entire series, Liza actually caved to Emily's demands, going against Kelsey's instructions by announcing Millennial's intention to publish the book. Eventually, though, her morality got the better of her, and she finally decided to tell Kelsey the truth. And... fade to black. That's where we left off at the end of the season — and what a cliffhanger it was.
There's a lot to uncover in the new season — and aren't you excited to see what happens next?

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—One must agree that the only point of view, from which Nature's methods can be judged, is that of the victims of her processes. Your correspondents, however, seem to have ignored the wonderful compensatory law which gives much solace and satisfaction to the sufferers. As a surgeon, now retired, who has spent a lifetime in observing the sufferings of one's fellow creatures, both human and not human, I am convinced that this compensation like poise and counterpoise, and action and reaction, observable in the realm of Physics, is as true in the animate as it is in the inanimate world.
One must remember that this law operating in human society compels us to devise means which we call sanitation to destroy myriads of creatures whose habit is to feed on the living human organism. These creatures arc none the less creatures because they are microscopic, and they are sentient as anyone can discover who has a microscope. Nature seems to limit the amount of pain that any individual has to suffer, and provides a sense of exaltation or other means which is very great indeed. Does the bird not experience some exaltation when it is being fascinated by the snake ? Did not the martyrs of old experience something of the same, only of course of an infinitely more noble character ?
One must not be taken to argue from this, of course, that we should not do anything to stop suffering. The higher intelli- gence that man has evolved enables him to control Nature, or will enable him to control Her more and more as he further develops, and as Bacon said, " we can only control Nature by obeying Her." Volumes could be written on the purposes of pain as a great motive force in the evolution of man.—I am, Sir, &c.,
ALFRED H. HORSFALL, Red House, Bexley Heath, Kent.

The Week Ahead
The Week Ahead: More Of Everything
Monday – Pending Home Sales at 10am is the only relevant piece of economic data in the US session. Even Pending Sales wouldn't typically be too interesting, but the housing market is back as a potential consideration for Fed policy, and the purchase market is of particular interest (as a steep drop-off in refinance demand is not much of a surprise given the recent rise in rates).
Tuesday – The pace pics up, though not by much. Case Shiller Home Prices report at 9am, and while the effects of rising rates on purchases and prices is interesting, this price data is for the month of May, not capturing the brunt of the rate movement. Consumer Confidence at 10am is the most significant economic release by that point in the week, and the FOMC begins it's two day meeting. This will also be the last chance to catch your breath (or lock) before the potential volatility sharply increases early Wednesday morning.
Wednesday – In the 8:15am time-slot, the increasingly well-regarded ADP Employment report stands the chance of inspiring quick changes in the outlook for the week's headline event (Friday morning's NFP). When ADP misses/beats big enough, it can have a big effect on trading levels, but it's not the only thing going on that day. 15 minutes later, Q2's first GDP reading comes out. Economists expect +1.0 compared to Q1's final reading of +1.8. Chicago PMI hits at 9:45am (and can cause volatility at 9:42am when subscribers get the data 3 minutes early), but the day's STILL not remotely through with potential market movers. The 'biggie' comes at 2pm with the FOMC Announcement. While the notion is on the table that the Fed will make some changes to the announcement that attempt to sooth recent volatility, there's just as much chance that the text remains relatively unchanged. The latter suggests a more muted response, and even a surprise change wouldn't pack its normal punch with Friday's NFP on tap. To top all of the preceding off, this is also "month-end," creating extra hustle and bustle in financial markets as money managers make last minute adjustments to portfolio balances in order to align them with various indices. This doesn't have a default positive or negative connotation.
Thursday – Initial Jobless Claims at 8:30am is moderately important, but not critical ISM Manufacturing is the most relevant data point of the day at 10am with the Employment Index (component of ISM data) getting perhaps as much attention as the headline.
Friday – Incomes/Outlays (essentially 'consumer spending') and Factory Orders are second string reports compared to the mighty Employment Situation Report. Not only is it always the biggest potential market mover of any given month in terms of market data, but it's importance is magnified by its current role in Fed policy. Put simply, as long as the jobs report keeps on track just under 200k payrolls, markets will continue to expect the Fed to announce the first reduction in QE3 asset purchases at the September policy meeting.

Taj Whitesell, CIDM
In his article The Globally Integrated Enterprise†, Samuel Palmisano, Chairman of the Board and CEO of IBM, talks about how the idea of the multinational corporation is no longer compatible with the realities of 21st-century global business. We should not apply today's ideas about the corporation to the future but rather look at the emergence of what Palmisano calls the Globally Integrated Enterprise.
In the past, a multinational corporation would produce goods in local markets but perform other tasks globally. The globally integrated enterprise will be "a company that fashions its strategy, its management, and its operations in pursuit of a new goal: the integration of production and value delivery worldwide."
Palmisano claims that changes occurred towards the end of the 20th century that are integral to the shift from the multinational to the globally integrated corporation:
• the liberalization of trade and investment flows
• the combination of shared technologies and business standards, all built on top of a global IT and communications infrastructure
With these changes, corporations have the ability not only to outsource production but to integrate globally other business operations, such as research, sales, manufacturing, procurement, and distribution. They can do so by hiring and training outside partners located in foreign countries to run these operations for their global markets.
This change is the embodiment of the shift from multinational corporation to globally integrated enterprise. Companies are changing the way they supply the global market, and, in doing so, they lower production costs and have access to new sources of skills and knowledge.
Palmisano insists that this change is not simply a matter of passing on non-core activities to cheaper labor markets but about carefully deciding which operations the company wishes to hold on to and which operations it is able to pass on to partners in foreign firms. It's about "actively managing different operations, expertise, and capabilities so as to open the enterprise up in multiple ways, allowing it to connect more intimately with partners, suppliers, and customers."
He stresses innovation not just in creating new products but in all aspects of business operations. The focus of this innovation should not only benefit the company but should benefit the communities of which the companies are a part. The multinational corporation cannot achieve this kind of innovation, which is why global integration is so important.
Palmisano believes global integration will create jobs and raise living standards in developing countries. It will allow smaller businesses the chance to afford opportunities once only available to large corporations. But, he also recognizes that the new competition will create disruption and fear.
The first response should be to secure high-value skills by investing in education and training programs. The second response is to regulate intellectual property. We must strike a balance between piracy and collaboration that is enforced consistently and globally.
The third response will be maintaining trust in the enterprise, especially since the old hierarchies of the multinational will not work in the globally integrated enterprise. Palmisano states they must be supplemented with new forms of trust "based on shared values that cross borders and formal organizations."
Finally, he says that major changes need to occur in organizational culture, forms of partnership, and managing standards. Most importantly, all of these changes and challenges must be faced with the knowledge that they will take time and money. The shift to globally integrated enterprise is not about quick returns but about "real earnings that generate capital for growth and innovation."
A huge threat to global integration is economic and political instability that discourages investment in foreign markets. It is in the best interests of governments to improve security and stability to secure investments from companies. These companies, according to Palmisano, will in turn work on reforms to improve the quality of health and education and generally increase the resources available in the markets they are part of.
To affect the globally integrated enterprise and avoid the possible negative outcomes of globalization, such as nationalism and protectionism, business leaders, governments, and experts in social programs must work together to make sure that global integration will help, not hinder, all facets of society, economy, and business.

Dear Valued Customer:
You made a wise decision when you chose Environmental Health Services to protect your property from subterranean termites using the Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System. Since the inception of the Sentricon System 15 years ago, it has been successfully used to monitor for termites and when detected, Recruit termite bait has been applied where termites were found to eliminate the colony.
Now there is a new advancement to the Sentricon System. In the past, the system worked by monitoring for new and/or existing termite colonies. While incorporating Recruit IV termite bait as termite activity was detected. After the termite colony was eliminated using Recruit IV bait, we returned to monitoring for new foraging termite colonies. Now technological advances by Dow AgroSciences give us the ability to have active ingredient continuously available for termites as soon as they find a station - with no need to wait for an EHS termite specialists to detect the termites first.
On your next scheduled service EHS will UPGRADE your property to this latest advancement to Sentricon System at NO ADDITIONAL COST TO YOU. We will install the new Recruit HD™ termite bait devices in all the stations around your home. Recruit HD still uses the proven efficacy of noviflumuron the active ingredient, but now with nearly 3 times as much as before, in a new high density bait matrix formulation that's highly durable in the environment and highly desirable to termites.
This new bait matrix will be combined the monitoring & baiting phase, so bait is present all the time ready to kill the termites! It is like having an EHS termite specialist on the site monitoring your stations 24/7/365. Furthermore, the novel matrix is resistant to weather degradation and has been shown to be preferred by termites over wood and other cellulose food sources. So we will begin inspecting and servicing the stations on your property as normal since the bait is already present in all the stations at the time.
Rest assured we will continue to take the appropriate steps needed in a timely manner to keep your structure protected from termites. This change in termite bait in no way compromises your termite warranty with EHS. As long as you keep your warranty in effect, you can count on EHS continuously protecting your biggest investment with the latest technical advancements in termite elimination.

Also, the same proof of "sluggish iPhone demand," supply chain checks, that's being used again this year to talk down the stock was also used last year. The actual result, despite much fake handwringing: iPhone unit sales of 216.76 million, and increase of 4.88 million units over 2016's total (211.88).

You'd think the sensible thing to do would be to deport illegal aliens, wouldn't you? They cram themselves by the dozens into single-family dwellings. If American citizens did that, the health dept in California would be all over them like white on rice. But, since they're illegal aliens, they're allowed to break the law with impunity, and no fear of repercussions.
In the meantime, Americans are living in the streets because illegals have taken all the available jobs and housing in California. I know, I've seen it first hand.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and other city leaders broke ground Wednesday on the first permanent supportive housing units to receive funding from a 2016 voter-approved measure to build housing for the homeless, reports CBS Los Angeles.
"Today marks a new chapter in our fight to get homeless Angelenos off the streets and into homes," Garcetti said. "So I want to thank the people who backed Prop HHH — with this groundbreaking, your votes are building a legacy that will support people for decades to come."
The housing initiative promised to help the city build 10,000 units of housing for homeless Angelenos over the next decade.
Here's a better idea. Since illegal aliens are crammed into houses like sardines, how about you #DeportThemAll, and then you'll have PLENTY of houses you can put on Section 8 for the homeless.
I know, it's common sense, and you're from California, but give it some thought.

Wednesday's groundbreaking of the second phase of the PATH Metro Villas in East Hollywood will provide 122 new housing units and a health clinic. The Metro Villas project is expected to open in spring 2019 and is among the nine projects which received initial funding from Proposition HHH. The remaining eight projects are expected to break ground next month.
The groundbreaking comes as the number of homeless people is on the rise in the city. The 2017 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count found that homelessness rose 20 percent in L.A. from 2016 — to more than 34,000 people.

PSD's Anne-Marie Braga Named CDPHE Employee of the Year!!!
During her tenure as the adult sponsor of the Youth Partnership for Health (YPH) - CDPHE's youth advisory board - Anne-Marie helped the youth develop a DVD and guidebook, entitled Nothing About Us Without Us, which are used throughout Colorado, as well as in other states, as a valuable resource for organizations who are seeking to start and maintain successful youth-adult partnerships in their community.
In support of Nothing About Us Without Us, Anne-Marie hosted 13 youth development community conversations throughout Colorado, meeting with over 500 youth, parents, business and religious leaders and community-based providers. The goals of the meetings were for the state to learn what's worked best in each community to support youth and to brainstorm and prioritize how the state, in partnership with the Colorado Youth Development Team, can best support youth and community development work.
Informed by the information gleaned from the community conversations, The Colorado Youth Development Team (CYDT) unveiled its report, Positive Youth Development: Supporting Colorado Youth to Reach Their Full Potential. The purpose of the report was to share the results of a statewide assessment and provide recommendations on how state and local programs can incorporate positive youth development strategies into their work. Anne-Marie contributed extensive time and energy into compiling the content for the report, as well as refining the written document. Through Anne-Marie's leadership, this report now serves as a frequently-referenced guidepost that describes how a positive youth development approach can be used to address adolescent issues in Colorado.
All of this would not have been possible without the vision and leadership of Anne-Marie. Anne-Marie has done a tremendous job using her position as Director of Youth and Young Adult Initiatives to elevate the importance of adolescent issues at a state level ensuring that all communities commit to working to improve the lives of our youth. She is a wonderful person who cares deeply about how she can help youth in our state which is demonstrated by the work described in this nomination letter. I, along with the many people who contributed to this nomination, firmly believe Anne-Marie is deserving of this award for her tireless public health leadership and the outstanding work she has done to advance the positive focus on youth in our state.
Special 'Thanks" to Rachel Hutson, Children and Youth Branch Director, Prevention Services Division, CDPHE assistance in this post.

VRWERX And Paramount Announce Mission: Impossible VR Game
Paramount Studios and VRWERX announce new VR video game based on hit film franchise Mission: Impossible
Paramount Pictures and game developer VRWERX today announced that they are working on a virtual reality (VR) game inspired by popular spy film franchise Mission: Impossible.
VRWERX are the developer behind VR game Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul, which is based on another Paramount movie franchise. VRWERX say that the new Mission: Impossible game will be an original story inspired by the movies. The game is set to be available on HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR.
"We love Mission: Impossible. We're extraordinarily excited to enable audiences to experience first hand the thrill of being an IMF agent in this high-tech, adrenaline-charged universe," said Alex Barder, VRWERX Co-Managing Partner. "In addition to strategic gameplay, our proprietary movement system enables us to innovate running, climbing, fighting, and many other impossible stunts the fabled franchise inspires."
"Virtual Reality is the perfect platform to offer fans a truly immersive experience of being part of the exciting Mission: Impossible franchise," added LeeAnne Stables, President of Worldwide Licensing for Paramount Pictures. "Like Paranormal Activity, this VRWERX Mission: Impossible game will be a fully-interactive VR game and we know consumers will love the premise of playing as a smart and daring Mission IMF agent."
This isn't the first time Mission: Impossible is coming to VR however, back in 2015 VRFocus got hands-on with the experience made for Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation.
If you want to take a look at some of VRWERX other work, you can see our coverage of it's other Paramount franchise game Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul. VRFocus will continue to follow VRWERX's partnership with Paramount.

A proposed pilot scheme has been announced yesterday, 2 November 2017, for some significant proposals to modernise and reform the current rules on disclosure in the Business and Property Courts of England and Wales.
The initiative has been spearheaded by a Rolls Building Disclosure Working Group, chaired by The Rt. Hon Lady Justice Gloster, with a sub-committee of four responsible for drafting the proposed new rule. The sub-committee comprised, Chief Master Marsh, The Hon. Mr Justice Knowles CBE, Vannina Ettori (Legal Adviser to the Chancellor) and LSLA president and partner at Simmons & Simmons, Ed Crosse.
Please see here for the formal announcement from the Disclosure Working Group.
Background and why reform is needed
With the advent of the digital age there has been an explosion in the amount of information and communication that businesses store electronically, with knock-on effects on what needs to be disclosed when disputes go to court. Practitioners talk about the 'monster' of e-disclosure, which needs to be tamed. Indeed, survey responses from 280 UK litigation practitioners conducted by the LSLA and New Law Journal in July this year revealed that the problem with the current disclosure regime is considered one of the most pressing challenges the UK litigation system faces – a resounding 72% of respondents declaring the current disclosure regime 'not fit for purpose'. This is an issue that has a direct bearing on the London courts' ability (or otherwise) to maintain its crown as the world's litigation centre of choice.
Reform welcome
Today's news that reform is on its way will be welcomed enthusiastically by practitioners and court users alike.
Next steps
Subject to approval from the Civil Procedure Rules Committee (which is likely to be sought in March / April 2018), the proposal is that the scheme will be run as a mandatory pilot across the Business and Property Courts in the Rolls Building, and in the centres of Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and Liverpool for a two-year period.
Prior to its launch, further consultation and feedback on the proposals will be sought from the judiciary, professional associations and user groups in London and the circuits on an open forum basis.
Ed Crosse, President of the London Solicitors Litigation Association (LSLA) and Partner at Simmons & Simmons, who helped draft the new rule, commented:
"As a profession, with arguably the greatest interest in reform and in promoting London as the forum of choice, it is essential that we constructively engage with these proposals to ensure we secure procedures we would be happy to recommend to our clients.
"Disclosure is one of the key benefits of litigating in London, and creating a world class civil disputes regime is critical to maintaining the Capital's pre-eminence, particularly with Brexit fast-approaching and other centres competing to steal that crown.
"To be clear, the proposals are not about removing a party's ability to obtain fulsome orders for disclosure, in appropriate cases – the availability of such orders is a real selling point for our courts in England and Wales. However, not all cases justify a 'Rolls Royce' approach to disclosure, and the rules need to cater for this and curb the excesses."
"If we want to reverse a trend of increasing disclosure costs, we need a marked change in culture and approach by the parties and the courts. Currently, there is not enough co-operation and engagement between the parties on disclosure, and there is also a perception (identified by the LSLA / NLJ survey) that the courts could be more robust in managing disclosure and curbing the excesses.
"Clear duties need to be prescribed to drive change, backed by proportionate sanctions for non-compliance for those parties who fail to co-operate and engage.
"The use of technology to help with the review of electronic data, has made great strides and received judicial recognition; the Pyrrho ruling on predictive coding was a positive step in this area. The proposed new rule will formally recognise and encourage the use of technology and, indeed, imposes an express duty on the parties to consider whether, and, if so how, technology might assist. It has been said that technology, with the proliferation of data, has caused the problem with disclosure, but it also provides part of the solution."
Rosemary Martin, Group General Counsel & Company Secretary, Vodafone Group, UK and Chair of the GC100 commented:
"The GC100 members are delighted that the Working Group has taken the task of revising the disclosure rules so seriously and with a much more radical attitude than many were expecting. If, collectively, we can get behaviours to change too (the difficult bit) then this initiative will be enormously valuable for the future."
The deadline for responses to the consultation is 28 February 2018. Respondents have been encouraged to provide feedback via their professional associations and Court user meetings.

Ultralyd: "Inertiadrome" (Rune 2010)
Ultralyd´s new album "Inertiadrome" is out on Rune Grammofon. Kjetil Møster (sax), Anders Hana (guitar, synth), Kjetil Brandsdal (bass) and Morten Olsen (drums, vibraphone) make heavy industrial rock. I only see shipyards and large halls full of machines, when Brandsdal´s rock steady bass is pumping from the speakers, and he and the rest of the crew make a (quite monotonous) soundtrack to some imaginary film about industry, or the fall of the industry.
I´m sorry I went a bit off the track here, but just count it as another recommendation
I´m usually not too focused on sound quality, but here it struck me, that this must be quite good. Recorded and mixed by Jørgen Træen at Duper Studios (Bergen).
If this is not too much for you, look for a new 12", probably on sale at concerts, and probably released later. I really don´t know, but I´ve been lucky, and have received a copy with silvery cover, and two tracks, recorded by the same mr Træen at Duper.
Labels: Anders Hana, Jazz, Kjetil Møster, Rock, Rune

Do not underestimate the power of Mother Hearing.
The adrenaline surge that propelled me down the hall was enough to guarantee that I wasn't getting back to sleep so I made coffee (wisely used the COFFEE MAKER today so as to avoid another scalding) and then got antsy (before the coffee, thankyewverramuch. Lets not forget the ADD.)
It is now 8am and I have:
- washed 4 loads of laundry
- done 1 1/2 loads of dishes
- Found that someone had broken ANOTHER of the tall drinking glasses (out of 16, I am down to 8. %$#@*!!!)
- Wondered if I can still locate a matching set of these glasses?
- Decided that 6am was too early to care
- Decided to winnow through all fabric in my house
- bagged 5 large trash bags of stuff to be purged
- cleaned one bathroom
- decided all bathrooms need to be bleached
- discovered I have no bleach
- made pancakes
- accidentally grabbed the giant clear plastic bottle of SOY SAUCE instead of the clear plastic bottle of pancake syrup. (Costco strikes again! Do we REALLY need THIS much soy sauce???)
- cussed
- Realized the fridge needs a good scrubbing.
- Spot-treated the living room carpet
- Spot-treated the dining room carpet
- Asked myself why I just wasted 15 minutes spot-treating carpets when in 5 years I have not been able to remove the stains left by the previous occupant??
Folks, I am beginning to scare myself but am reluctant to stop now. Imagine what I can accomplish before NOON at this rate. I have already called my dad about bringing over his truck & trailer a little later because we are making a dump run or my name ain't GERBIL. I have been asking for this to happen for months and by golly... I've run out of patience and a forthcoming move is an EXCELLENT reason to get rid of all this crap we don't need. There's a gazillion items that are going to goodwill, and the county dump also has a dropoff point for stuff that's too good to throw away but Goodwill won't take (they're picky here).
Then... I'm going to Home Depot. (If I could possibly paint this entire house this afternoon, I'd do that too. )
It's spring, its time to kick some ass around here.

"SAGE believes passionately that engaged scholarship lies at the heart of any healthy society and that education is intrinsically valuable."
At SAGE we work towards our vision of contributing towards sustainable responsible development of our society. As befits a publishing company much of our efforts are focused on increasing educational opportunities. We do this by either providing support to people through our specialized educational publishing material or by donating financially. SAGE supports various initiatives to foster and promote education and culture.
Indus Action is founded and managed by a team of Indian students at Harvard University who are committed to contributing towards the growth and development of India. It seeks to mobilize public resources and empower communities to solve India's deep-rooted problems in areas such as education, public health, law enforcement and accountability. One of the recent projects of the foundation is centered on ensuring the implementation of Section 12 of Right to Education (RTE) Act, which stipulates the reservation of 25% of the entry level seats in private un-aided schools for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS). The foundation aims to achieve this by creating awareness amongst the EWS parents and by helping them complete the necessary documentation for the same.
Another project that is in the pipeline of the NGO is to guarantee education for the children of the marginalized strata of the society. The organization plans to commission a number of NGOs/centres to come up with a best-in-class model to run centres for such kids at a low cost. Once the model is ready, which is likely to happen in a few months, the NGO looks to launch the centres and then plans to significantly scale it up.
Both the projects aim to provide and improve quality education and more importantly, achieve equality in education for all children. SAGE India believes in and advocates social justice, environmental justice and economic justice and therefore, would like to support the initiatives of Indus Action.
End Poverty is an organization that works in the Tijara Block of Alwar District in Rajasthan, with the prime objective of alleviating poverty within the area to address the needs of the most disadvantaged villagers, particularly the Meo Tribal population. End Poverty nurtures communities using innovative ideas to reduce poverty through collective thinking by stakeholders. Environment protection, collaborative partnerships and innovative work methods are values they cherish. The central idea of the organization is to build people's capacity to lead a life of opportunity and dignity.
SAGE has been associated with End Poverty since 2012 supporting their mission of helping rural girls and women in gaining basic literacy and numeracy skills, by making contributions in kind, in the form of writing materials, stationery kits etc. The objectives and efforts of End Poverty are very much in alignment with SAGE India's vision of promoting education and women empowerment and, hence, the company plans to continue to work with the organization.
Vibha is a social venture catalyst. A platform that brings together people who want to make a difference in the life of underprivileged children. Their mission is to ensure a scalable cure is found to solve a systemic problem in the life of an underprivileged child. A cure that involves minimum external intervention with large societal impact.
Vibha aims to ensure that every child attains his or her right to health, education and opportunity. It offers a plethora of projects to choose from, varying in terms of objectives, budgets etc. Promotion of education, amongst others, seems to be one of the prime areas of focus. Further, the social programmes of Vibha are audited; metrics driven, field-visit led and the stakeholders are kept informed of how their funds are deployed and the kind of impact, these are generating. SAGE partners with Vibha to support their endeaviour.
Apart from collaborating with the afore-mentioned organizations, the company would like to consider extending support to the following schemes:-
A campaign, initiated by the Central Government in 2015, aims to end the gender-based discrimination in the country. The scheme focuses on the objective of ensuring survival and protection of girl children and making them independent, both socially as well as economically, through education. This project aims to achieve this by generating awareness and improving the efficiency of welfare services meant for women in the country. SAGE India would like to be a part of this initiative as the program is very much in line with the company's CSR focus area of promoting gender equality and women empowerment.
