Moneycorp Selects Adapt For Next-Level Virtualisation; Adapt's Enterprise Virtual Data Centre Will Host Leading Foreign Exchange Services
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LONDON -- Adapt, the independent IT managed services provider, has announced that Moneycorp, the UK's foreign currency & payments specialist, has selected Adapt's Enterprise Virtual Data Centre (eVDC) to deliver a fully hosted and managed solution. The agreement will see Adapt deliver all of Moneycorp's production services at a significantly increased level of availability and performance, as well as strengthening the company's existing disaster recovery capabilities.
Founded in 1979, Moneycorp is now a 11bn provider of wholesale and commercial foreign exchange operations with a constantly growing network of bureau de change outlets. From developing FX strategies for business clients to providing the right currencies for holidaymakers across London and at key UK airports, Moneycorp deliver unparalleled customer service backed by true financial expertise. Adapt was selected to provide an initial split-site colocation agreement following a competitive tender process undertaken by Moneycorp. However, as the two companies began working closely together, Adapt gained a better insight into Moneycorp's exact requirements and consequently transformed the original scope into a fully managed outsourced environment.
Kenneth Byrne, Head of IT Services at Moneycorp: "Moneycorp's aims were two-fold - firstly to significantly reduce the organisations overall IT infrastructure risk by putting in place a highly resilient and reliable infrastructure based around a dual data-centre, mirrored-site offering. Secondly to put in place a first-class infrastructure that would grow and scale to meet the business current and future expansion needs. With Adapt's eVDC service we have managed to achieve both of these core aims quickly and at a competitive cost, allowing internal IT teams to re-focus from reactive hardware maintenance to more customer-centric and strategic elements." Adapt's eVDC has provided Moneycorp with synchronously replicated storage across two sites for maximum possible availability. Adapt has also provisioned a compute layer based on Cisco's leading UCS technology, coupled with VMware vSphere configured for maximum performance and memory/ CPU workload. Finally, Adapt procured and manage a fully resilient WAN infrastructure connecting their London offices using diverse carriers.
"This is an exciting partnership for us, as Moneycorp is a true leader in the fast-moving and constantly evolving FX market," said Simon Fisk, Sales and Marketing Director at Adapt. "We spent a lot of time working alongside Moneycorp to gain a true understanding of their unique requirements. As a result, it became clear that our eVDC could offer significant performance and reliability advantages, capable of growing in line with Moneycorp's own business. We look forward to developing this relationship in the near future." About Adapt Adapt's mission is to help customers navigate the evolutionary stages of their computing environment towards affordable, efficient, sustainable virtual and cloud-based solutions that grow in line with business. Adapt's integrated services offering spans the entire IT infrastructure, including network connectivity, resilient data centre services, shared services, virtual server provisioning, virtual desktop services and Software as a Service, underpinned by flexible, OPEX-based commercial models. www.adaptplc.com About Moneycorp Moneycorp is the UK's leading foreign exchange provider, which traded 11 billion in currencies on behalf of its clients last year.
Moneycorp began dealing in foreign exchange in 1979 from a branch on Oxford Street and has since grown its bureau de change network to 27 outlets. The company now serves foreign tourists across London, as well as passengers at Stansted, Gatwick, Southend and Southampton airports.
Moneycorp also offers an online travel money service, so customers can pre-order currency before they travel for home delivery or for branch collection. In addition Moneycorp has launched the world's first pre-paid card that holds up to 14 currencies, offering customers a safe and secure method to carry their travel money.
The company's commercial division provides tailored services to help businesses and individuals save money on their overseas currency transfers. Moneycorp offers an online FX and International payments service (
so customers can order currency online in 33 currencies, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Sam Mikulak takes national gymnastics title; will Danell Leyva, John Orozco make worlds team?
Aug 18, 2013, 4:09 PM EDT
HARTFORD, Conn. – Sam Mikulak, Big 10 all-around champion, NCAA all-around champion, is now United States all-around champion. The University of Michigan star cruised at the U.S. gymnastics championship, winning the the two-day event comfortably Sunday.
Mikulak seemed on auto-pilot early, turning in near carbon copies of his dominating performances from Friday's opening night at the XL Center. Mikulak, 20, led the entire way and only stumbled on his final event, falling twice on the pommel horse. He totaled 181.4 points, beating second-place Alex Naddour by 2.9 points (full results below).
"It was a little bit of nerves (on the pommel horse)," Mikulak said.
Mikulak is a lock to lead the World Championships team in Antwerp, Belgium, from Sept. 30-Oct. 6. USA Gymnastics is expected to name the squad of up to six men by the end of Monday.
"I definitely think people should start watching out for me," Mikulak said, according to The Associated Press.
He'll look to challenge Japan's Kohei Uchimura, the three-time defending world all-around champion and 2012 Olympic champion.
The next seven men in the U.S. all-around standings, Naddour, Olympians Jake Dalton and John Orozco, Brandon Wynn, Steven Legendre, Olympic bronze medalist Danell Leyva and Paul Ruggeri are seemingly in the running for the remaining five spots.
Naddour, who just missed the 2012 Olympic team, proved to be the only confident pommel horse worker in the country, but he also showed up big in the all-around, hitting 11 of his 12 routines over two days. He actually outscored Mikulak (and everyone else) Sunday. This time when the team announcement is made, it's doubtful the world "alternate" will be anywhere near his name.
Jake Dalton should also make plans for Belgium. He faltered on a few events through the two days but survived for third place after winning the American Cup in March. His case is boosted by his international experience from the 2011 World Championships and 2012 Olympics.
Orozco left his struggles from night one in the chalk dust and with it put to rest lingering doubts about his return from a torn ACL and meniscus. Orozco was strong and steady from start to finish Sunday, including hitting pommel horse and parallel bars routines that could push him onto the worlds team.
Leyva's struggles continued. He was shaky at best on pommel horse, fell on vault and had uncharacteristic form errors in his high bar routine. When it came down to his final event, parallel bars, where he holds the world title, Leyva needed to hit, or in all likelihood any shot at a place on the worlds team would be gone. He did and let out a big sigh of relief on the shoulder of his animated coach and stepfather, Yin Alvarez.
That sixth and final spot on the world team will likely be between Orozco and Leyva because Mikulak will be one of the two U.S. all-arounders in Antwerp and because of a trio of event specialists in the running for spots.
Wynn, who made the worlds team in 2010, appears to be living up to his potential, winning his signature event, still rings.
Also in contention is 2012 Olympic team alternate Steven Legendre, who topped the floor exercise standings.
Then there's Ruggeri, a longtime national team member who won silver on floor and bronze on vault.
Back to Mikulak, who wore a camera during training to show just what it's like competing on high bar.

Koushik Tell Me What You See
- Words: Patric Fallon
- Label: Miserable Beast
- XLR8R Rating: 6.5/10
It's a strange, though novel, idea to release albums of independent production music. The genre, also referred to as "library music," is meant as a royalty-free resource for use by radio and other media outlets. Here, Stones Throw sub-label Miserable Beast has commissioned Canadian producer Koushik to craft Tell Me What You See, music for a film-noir project that exists only in their minds. He's not the first to write a soundtrack for a movie that will never exist, but the difference on Tell Me What You See is that no story develops through the music. While solid production work is found throughout, particularly on jazzy numbers like "Wutucint," the beat-centric "Brasil Beat" tracks, and the slow funk of "Groove Awhile," you can't really approach this collection of songs as a true album. Yet as a showcase of eclectic and creative studio work, Tell Me What You See is an interesting suite of carefree tracks that remind us of how music used to sound.

I'm reading a McKinsey report from May 2013 that talks about 12 disruptive technologies, including cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT). I'll focus on the IoT here.
The report estimates the IoT Internet to be worth between $2.7 and $6.2 trillion by the year 2025.(The world's combined GDP is about $72 trillion today.) When it comes to the IoT, the report says there could be 50 billion new devices connected to the Internet by 2025, or maybe a trillion. Give or take.
With all due respect, these numbers are nonsense, perhaps, and irrelvant, doubtlessly. It does no one any good to estimate things within a few trillion dollars or a factor of 20X.
We also have no idea what the world will look like politically more than a decade from now. Will the year 2025 harken the beginning of Hillary Clinton's third term as President of the United States? Or perhaps the Cruz/Paul administration's first? Will China be the world's economic collosus, and/or perhaps the world's largest democracy?
Over the past two decades, no one expected the fall of the Soviet Union or the Arab Spring; the dot-com meltdown came as a catastropic shock to many (and removed $7 trillion in wealth), and our favorite uncle Alan Greenspan now admits he had no idea that the Great Recession was looming. We humans are terrible at predicting the future.
But we live with the certainty that technology evolves and has great potential to improve the fate of nations and people. Technology is apolitical, agnostic, and indefatigable in the face of geo-political pettiness and conflict. We all know this. "Learning" that the cloud or IoT might add a trillion here and there, or several trillion, adds no value to any discussion.
McKinsey did its due diligence in rounding up a passel of big names (eg, Eric Schmidt), and it gives the usual, clichéd nod to Schumpeter's idea of creative destruction in touting the 12 disruptions.
Let's Get Specific
But those of us working in the industry need to be a little more specific. The IoT encompasses an enormous range of devices, uses, and industries.
I first led discussions of it at an event in Beijing in 2011. McKinsey, to its credit, issued a nice report sans numbers in 2010. One company tweeted me yesterday that they've been doing IoT stuff since 2007.
OK, got it. The IoT is not a brand-new idea. But it is now gaining big traction. It is already throwing datacenter developers into a tizzy as they grapple with delivering a magnitude more processing in a short time. Industrial design is moving to the fore, not just the province of Apple anymore. Google just bought a company for $3.2 billion, a harbinger of an IoT spring.
The IoT generates Big Data, which in turn is best handled by virtualized resources and Cloud Computing, which in turn are begetting the Software-Defined Networks (SDN) and Software-Defined Datacenter (SDDC). Emerging DevOps culture also fits in here, as a function of the speed required to bring ideas to fruition.
For my part, I spend a lot of my time working within a start-up that aims to deliver personal websites, photos, and video to as many people as possible, worldwide, some day. We virtualize, we use the cloud, and we will be encountering bigger datasets as we encounter mobile devices on our grid, and the telemetry that goes with them.
It's a big development challenge, and one in which we operate in blissful ignorance of whether we're operating within a $1.7 or $6.2 trillion opportunity.
In summary, as a writer and as Conference Chair of @ThingsExpo, I have a simple question: what are you doing? Please let me know!

7 Unexpected uses for toothbrushes at home
Every time I go to one of those shops for sophisticated home products, I laugh my head off at the great amount of brushes they have. Have you noticed that many of them resemble those we use to brush our teeth? What doesn't make me laugh at all are the prices.
The good news is that we don't have to pay them because with that talent for improvisation we Latinas have, we can turn an ordinary toothbrush into a first-hand tool to get rid of the worst filth, in the farthest places of our house.
Read more ¿Qué más?: 5 Ways to naturally unclog your bathtub
1. To clean the floor tiles. Is there anything more difficult to clean than the grout between tiles? One of those chlorines that come in gel form and a toothbrush are your perfect allies.
2. Make your faucets shine. For this both the brush and the toothpaste are useful, especially in those little cracks so thin that they are almost invisible
3. Get the grime out of the window frames. Spray your favorite cleanser and attack them with the brush.
4. Say goodbye to dust buildup in the filters. A good brushing and you'll have them for a while longer.
5. Breathe new life into your jewelry. Those with mounted stones will be cleaner after a light touch with the toothbrush.

Although it smells like autumn outside I wanted to finish this summer Kaftan in August, latest. Fortunately, Kiseki.de is a fast deliverer of Nani Iro fabrics. The pattern is an autralian one ("Make it perfect") sold by a duth company.
The description is really good and I am really happy how the kaftan turned out. Like all double gauze fabrics designed by Nani Iro it is very very comfortable and soft.
I used size S and my new overlock, which now is quicker than my old sewing machine since I am a little bit more familiar with the 5 threads.

Thank you so much. I must admit that this fabric has been chosen as an example for this kaftan by the pattern company ,-), since I know all Nani Iro fabrics I knew which fabric I had to order ;-)
Aug 29, 2010, 01.24 PMby sewobsessed
This top is truely beautiful! I can think that many people would love it but at the same time I haven't seen anything like it because of the fabric. Your choices of fabric and pattern are spot on, great job. I would want to wear it everyday!

Top 25 most misspelled words
In honour of last night's spelling bee winners, here are the most commonly misspelled words.

Laura Newcombe misspelled "sorites" in the final round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee last night.
Or should that be "mispelled"?
While spelling champs zip their way through words that many people couldn't even look up in the dictionary, the rest of us still struggle with common but confusing words that are often garbled.
For example, most of the words in this sentence are misspelled (yes, it's double-s, double-l, single-p).
You're acknowlegment of my atempt to accomodate enough wierd camoflage equiptment just shows a concensus would only inadvertantly embarass any seperate liason by the committee in trying to guage an miniscule withdrawl.
Of course, spell check tried to correct some of those words. But not all. So don't trust it
The vagaries of English spelling rules (i before e except after c doesn't always work), particularly in suffixes and doubled consonants, manage to slay most people sooner or later.
Here, from various sources and discounting cultural differences for words like judgment, are some of the most commonly misspelled words:
1. accommodate
2. consensus
3. acknowledgement
4. argument
5. commitment
6. deductible
7. dependent
8. embarrass
9. harass
10. liaison
11. separate
12. withdrawal
13. equipment
14. gauge
15. lightning
16. minuscule
17. achieve
18. committee
19. definitely
20. surprise
21. weird
22. camouflage
23. existence
24. privilege
25. publicly
What word do you most commonly see misspelled? (Other than contractions (its, it's) or homonyms (there, their and they're), because those are just way too easy.)

Four teenagers were traced through CCTV and arrested following a report of a burglary in Swanley.
Last Tuesday (July 1) officers were called to a report of a burglary happening at a property above the Swanley Centre near the Fire Station in London Road.
The suspects made off from police but with the help of CCTV the suspects were followed and found by PCSOs who stopped them.
Four teenage boys from Swanley aged between 13 and 15 were arrested on suspicion of burglary.
They were interviewed and then released on bail until the end of August while the investigation continues.
Sergeant Nicola Futers from Swanley's community policing team said: "This was a really positive result, showing great teamwork between police officers, community support officers and CCTV operators.
"The local knowledge of the officers and staff who serve Swanley has once again been key to quickly apprehending these suspects and bringing them into custody for questioning.'
Sevenoaks District Council's portfolio holder for community safety Councillor Michele Lowe said: "Our CCTV system, which has cameras throughout Swanley town centre, has once again shown its worth by helping the police to apprehend several suspects.
"This is another example of our close working relationship with the police to help keep the district safe."

Smartphone 'creep' disturbs life balance
Do you struggle to switch off?
Relevant offers
Digital Living
Kiwis are increasingly unable to juggle work-life balance because of the "creep" of smartphones and other devices, with an employment lawyer saying the boundaries between work and home life will soon be tested in court.
Increasing demands on workers, combined with some people's inability to switch off from work, meant it was only a matter of time before cases ended up in court, said Andrea Twaddle, director of employment and resource management law at Hamilton firm DTI.
"There is scope for it to be tested and I would expect either employees to raise a claim of disadvantage through stress or health and safety, or an employer to say, 'Look, in order to ensure the safety of this workplace, we are putting these parameters around work conditions'."
She said technology "can be seen as creating potential risks for stress or simply being an unreasonable amount of hours employees work".
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development figures show Kiwis work longer hours than in many other countries, with 13 per cent working more than 50 hours a week.
The OECD average is 9 per cent, with only 3 per cent of workers in Denmark working long hours, while Britain (12 per cent), and the United States (11 per cent) follow Kiwi trends.
Twaddle said some larger Waikato employers were moving towards "wellness policies" that covered issues such as gym membership discounts for employees, or whether people should have remote access to their work.
Waikato University philosophy student Derek Riley, who is looking at the impact of work-life balance on medical professionals for his PhD, said mobile devices were providing greater flexibility than ever before but the line between work and home time was becoming increasingly blurred.
"Unfortunately, today with the high technology we can be contacted 24/7," he said. "It has started to creep into family time, and you can get what they call work creep.
"There's work time, there's family time, there's playtime, and people need to respect those times."
Riley said on-call health professionals such as surgeons and doctors, and nightshift workers, who formed the basis of his study, were particularly affected by a lack of work-life balance.
Although a supportive culture and working flexible hours were company issues, individuals could help themselves by developing resilience and a support network, and being solution-focused.
Defining boundaries between work and home was important, he said.
Ross Keith, chief executive of advisory firm Advantage Business, said work-life balance was "hugely" affected by technology.
He foresaw discussion about guidelines or contract conditions surrounding it in the next few years.
The increasing number of emails being sent outside standard working hours was an interesting discussion point.
"Do [employees] claim overtime if they've been doing emails off their phone from home?"
But although employers needed to be wary of expectations that employees should be contactable 24/7, constant availability could be a bonus for those who were their own boss.
Keith's self-employed wife got even when he was checking work emails on a smartphone, and she is now enjoying the flexibility her matching phone allows her.
"It's not necessarily a handcuff to the company," he said.
When it comes to employees, Keith said many did not want to disconnect, and some found it as hard to tune out email notifications as it was to ignore a ringing telephone.
Bosses could help by encouraging staff to turn their devices off, ignore them, or leave non-urgent requests for work time.
Association of Counsellors president Jonathan Loan said workers lacking balance often presented with problems such as being unable to sleep and questions revealed they were being pursued by work emails.
"It's almost like your workplace is invading your home."
Employees who never disconnected were more likely to need sick days, or burn out, he said, so employers who created a culture that respected out-of-work hours were doing themselves a favour.
Waikato District Health Board has started the ball rolling, with chief executive Craig Climo saying a healthy work-life balance was critical for his staff.
"We are investing megabucks in technology to make business more efficient, effective so that we are doing the right things and doing them well."
Climo oversees 6250 staff providing around-the-clock care, and said health professionals' tendency to be passionate, driven and hardworking meant limits were needed.
"Some of what we have to do is protect people from themselves."
An internal study into junior doctors working nightshift revealed they were being called every five minutes.
"We need a better system of holding calls, prioritising calls, so we are working on that."
Gallagher Corporate Services executive Margaret Comer said the company, which employs about 500 people in Waikato, needed key players to be available outside New Zealand business hours.
"But they are rewarded for that when it comes to travel, taking leave and profit share. We always recognise that."
The company also had a strong focus on family. "It is very, very important. Families are what support employees, and a good employer must recognise that."
Tertiary Education Union national women's committee vice-president Cat Pause said some members were making more time for family by setting their own boundaries, for example, telling students they would not respond to emails after 5pm.
