Capital Structure and Interaction among Firms in Output Markets: Theory and Evidence
I develop a simple model that examines the relations between the extent of competitive interaction among firms in output markets, their capital structures, and the aggressiveness of their operating strategies. A firm's optimal leverage is related to the degree to which its operating strategy affects its rivals' value functions and resulting optimal output market choices. This relation is positive, regardless of whether the competition in output markets is in strategic substitutes or in strategic complements. I test the model's prediction using two proxies for the extent of competitive interaction among firms. The empirical evidence provides support for the model.

How to Review and Choose Staffing Software

If you are shopping for staffing recruitment software, consider: Front/Back office integration.

Avoid solutions that don't offer fully integrated email. Paperless processes. Paperless processes reduce costs. Electronic billing and accounts receivable. Support.

My dad taught me machine code back in the day and I wrote many programs in it that I sold. Not on the scale of TempWorks but for a 10yr old it wasn't bad money. Back then I didn't have to worry about networking layers or multi-threading on multi-core machines. For version control, TFS in my opinion is on par with anything available today like CVS, subversion or git. Last item about the command line.

Oliver Letwin, the policy wonk in the Cabinet Office, is one of the most appealing of Conservative ministers (a title for which the competition is admittedly far from stiff), and not only because of the absent-mindedness which led him to be photographed chucking away government papers in waste bins in St James's Park. He is a minister who thinks and forms opinions instead of spouting civil servant speak.
The result, though, can be somewhat startling, as pupils at Bridport's St Mary's Primary School in Letwin's West Dorset constituency have discovered. They invited him into the classroom to talk about why 11- and 12- year-olds should be compelled to wear helmets when cycling. To their surprise, he did the opposite. According to View from Bridport, he told them: "I'm against legislation that would make wearing cycle helmets compulsory. I think things like that should be down to the individual. I don't think wearing seat belts in cars or wearing helmets on motorbikes should be compulsory either."
For the record, the statisticians reckon countries which have made the wearing of seat belts in cars compulsory have had a 20 per cent fall in road deaths, and the Transport Research Laboratory has calculated that crash helmets could have saved the lives of 10 to 16 per cent of cyclists who have died on the roads.

Yvette ducks clash with memory man
Whether or not you agree with David Cameron that Ed Balls, pictured, is "the most annoying person in modern politics" he is indubitably one of the most competitive. He was shamelessly proud of the two goals he scored in the match against the press before the Labour conference, despite a rumour he dived to gain a penalty.
Later, he toured the stalls, and tried out a competitive memory game organised by the Charities Aid Foundation, outscoring his fellow MPs. According to Hannah Terry, CAF's head of policy: "The next day he brought Yvette. He popped his head round and said: 'Am I still top?' I told him he was. He said: 'Yvette, come here and look – I'm top.' I asked Yvette if she wanted to play, but she didn't. I'm not sure she wanted to get into a competition."
Straw's bus ride into the real world
In 1997, there was a story doing the rounds about a Tory who had been in government for so long, riding in chauffeur-driven limousines, that he left his home in a hurry one morning, climbed into the back of his vehicle and sat there wondering why it was not moving. I always thought this was apocryphal, until I saw a passage from Jack Straw's memoir, Last Man Standing, about the shock of travelling like an ordinary Joe after 13 years in Cabinet: "I was dozing gently. I felt for the seat belt. It wasn't in its usual position. I guessed it was time for The Archers – I'd ask the detective in front to turn on Radio 4. Luckily, I stirred from my torpor. I was no longer in the rear of a police vehicle. The man in front was not a detective, but a fellow passenger. I was on the 159 bus."Reuse content

PageRank Formula: Is It Based Only on Backlink Count?
Is pagerank based only on the number of backlinks? What about where those backlinks come from? What about the authority of the backlinks or the anchor text you use to build those links? Look, the questions about backlinks never stop … and they never change. So let's carve this answer in stone this time and have it done with. If you want to increase your pagerank, then the best type of backlinks are natural backlinks. Period. Once you understand what natural backlinks are, then you'll see that the number you have isn't necessarily that important.
Subscribe to my exclusive newsletter, and learn secret SEO tactics to boost your traffic»
What is a Natural Backlink?
Let's say you write the world's most authoritative blog post about Purple Penguins. From one end of the Internet to the other, there is no other blog post that contains the depth and quality of information that your post contains. It's truly a work of art.
Soon, other bloggers out there start telling their readers about your Purple Penguin article…
- The blogger who blogs about the wildlife in Antarctica links to your article and tells his readers about your research on Purple Penguins.
- The blogger who blogs about Purple Socks links to your article and tells so his readers can see the exact shade of purple he's talking about.
- The blogger who blogs about Polar Bears links to your article to show his readers what Polar Bears like to eat.
These are all natural links. These other bloggers are linking to your article of their own volition, simply because it's the best resource on the Internet for the information they need. You didn't have to pay them, you didn't have to trade links with them, and you didn't have to use any other Black Hat or questionable methods to get these links. It's like Sally Fields when she won her Oscar – These bloggers LOVE you! That's what makes them so very valuable in the eyes of Google.
Now, obviously, the more of these natural links you have coming in, the better. But Google also looks at where these links are coming from, the credibility of that site, and how relevant your two blogs are.
If that blog that talks about Purple Socks has its own high authority rating with Google, then they'll pass some of that authority onto your URL when they link to you. However…
If that just happens to be a porn blog and they're linking out to your blog because the name reminds them of a strip club in Vegas, then you might be in trouble. Because a blog can just as easily pass its bad reputation on, as well. For that reason, it's important that you monitor your incoming links closely to make sure there are no nasty spammers or porn stars linking to you.
The link also loses value if there's no relevant reason for that other blog to be linking to you. Let's say your buddy with the Football blog wants to help you out with a backlink. Since there's really no reason for a sports blog to be linking to a blog about Purple Penguins that link looks a little spammy in the eyes of Google. You might not get de-indexed, but you certainly won't gain anything from it either. Get enough of those, and you could be jeopardizing your ranking.
No, pagerank is not based only on the number of backlinks. As you can see, there are a lot of other factors to consider, too, and we haven't even touched on the difference between no-follow and do-follow links. In conclusion, quit spending so much time trying to game the system and focus on creating content that generates natural backlinks. Because that's what Google's really looking for.

Absolutely, great upfront information, get your head out of trying to beat Google, write great content and work with Google.
Google had to bow down to John Chow who they believed was doing some black hat SEO practices when he was getting links from all over the web, they realised that he was in fact creating such good content that everyone wanted to link to his posts.
he was sucking in natural links by the bucket load from simply creating great content. A model I am trying to follow.
I "link" to "unrelated sites" whenever I'm sourcing images I use on my blog. I don't know if Google can tell this is spammy, but I prefer to give credit where credit is due than be selfish about my PR :)

It may be that Hollywood is no more dishonest about old age than it is about any other area of life - sex, say, or war - but there is a particular tension involved in cinematic sweetening of this subject. The sentimentality of genre is on a collision course with the unsparingness natural to the camera. Watching The Whales of August, for instance, we may be attending to a story about a group of fictional characters, but we are also witnessing time's fastiduous work in the flesh of two icons, Lilian Gish and Bette Davis - Gish still recognisably the same woman as the star of Broken Blossoms so long ago, Davis hardly seeming continuous with herself in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
Comics and character actors have a partial immunity from the stigma of ageing: they haven't offered themselves up as dream figures, so there's no sense of their having betrayed their audience by being human after all. One comic, George Burns, has even been able to turn old age into part of his act, the creakily blinking eyes and slowly flickering tongue into refinements of comic timing.
It was almost 20 years ago that Walter Matthau co-starred with Burns in The Sunshine Boys, but it's surprising how little his portrayal of a septuagenarian has altered now that he doesn't have to do research. He continues to play ageing as a form of loveable, bad nature, it's just that his neck and hands are more in character now.
The synthetic balance of desolation and uplift that Grumpy Old Men offers can be gauged from the fact that foul-mouthed, cranky Max Goldman - Matthau's character - has as his favourite expletive a word that hasn't had so much vogue since the 1960s: frigging. He's allowed to rail against the world, so long as he doesn't offend the family audience.
Matthau does have one potentially powerful moment, which also exploits the film's single effective location and interesting piece of sociology. When Minnesota's lakes freeze over, the ice becomes the site of a new settlement. Where Britons have huts at the seaside, Minnesotans have ice shanties. The insides of these shacks may be provided with armchairs and televisions, but their excuse for existing is ice fishing - a sport that seems even more inert than regular fishing. You drill a hole in your ice floor, prop up your favourite fishing rod and read the paper. Bingo] You catch supper. Or not.
The shanty town of shacks has its own attenuated social life - people chatting and promenading, even a snack stall in operation on the ice. But it's the interiors of these suburban igloos that are so arresting, the mixture of homey touches and indomitable cold, an illusion of comfort contrived in the least hospitable surroundings.
Matthau's moment comes when Max's unattended fishing rod, his beloved Green Hornet, is pulled down the hole by a fish resisting its fate as his supper. Wild with grief, Max strikes impotently at the ice with an axe, hoping to pierce the lake's thick rind and get his treasure back. To passers-by, of course, he looks simply insane. But here, like an over-sensitive fire alarm system that turns on the sprinklers when you make toast, director Donald Petrie lets Alan Silvestri's music intervene with a hopelessly incongruous jauntiness. The music, which trades only in jocularity and tremulous romanticism, extinguishes a moment of uncharacteristically dry emotion - rage and grief and absolute solitary loss. The loss even turns out to be reversible, though, since John Gustafson (Lemmon) finds the Green Hornet and eventually returns it to its owner.
Gustafson also has his rod restored to him, by a glamorous widow from California with a name straight out of Lord of the Rings, Ariel Truax. Ann-Margret plays the role with a fair amount of gumption, but this is a very bizarre portrait of a free spirit. In some ways, it's more like a young man's dream of a desirable older woman than an old man's idea of a younger one, but perhaps we should remember that Mark Steven Johnson wrote the script at the age of 25. Ariel has an air of living for the moment, expressing every impulse - she paints, she jet-skis, she rolls in the snow - but at the same time she has not had sex since her husband died five years ago. She's not so wild and free that fidelity and marriage are out of the question. Her reason for moving from California (eternal youth, eternal sunshine) to Minnesota and wintry company is never explained but seems to fall somewhere between eccentricity and perversion.
When Jack Lemmon is playing straight, in The China Syndrome, say, or Missing, there's often something ersatz about his persona of the ordinary Joe driven beyond endurance. It may be that Altman tried to harness this quality for Lemmon's part in Short Cuts, to have an insincere father played by an actor who has over-used his sincerity, but if so it was only partly successful. In Grumpy Old Men, he does find some fresh responses, when the incomprehensible Ariel turns her seductiveness on him.
Johnson wrote the script with Lemmon and Matthau in mind, and their routines contain nothing new (his writing for the young lovers, sweetly played by Daryl Hannah and Kevin Pollak, is much fresher). In one out-take, tagged on to the end of a film in the manner of comedy TV shows, Lemmon and Matthau forget their lines but bicker on plausibly without benefit of language. In their prime, the by-play of these two was like an entertainingly bad marriage, but time has made their antagonism seem perfunctory, and the rapport that underlies it somehow smug.

costs just a little more because it offers more than regular Sea Grow. SG
(1-1-1) is a seaweed extract ; SG+ (2-1-2) contains both the seaweed and
fish emulsion. Nitrogen and Potassium going from a 1 to a 2 doesn't look
like much, but that is 100% more of these macronutrients. Phosphorous is
also increased, but I think in SG it may have been less than 1 and rounded
up, while in SG+ it is greater than 1 but not quite enough to round the
number up. (This rounding up on SG may also apply to its N and K since SG's
description doesn't even discuss macronutrients)Both ingredients contain
trace minerals and the seaweed includes micronutrients and amino acids.
I felt that SG+ would be a more well-rounded fertilizer. However, you may
not need that or wish to provide macronutrients another way. You could try
them both out by order only a quart to see what you think. You might
consider calling Frank Finger and asking his opinion. He has always been
agreeable to answering questions. It's not a toll free number for technical
assistance, but may be worth it. Or, you could try the toll-free order line
and see if the order-taker might have an answer for you.

But befor we kill your thread, fish are looking awsome you've gone nut's with the catfish man they are real monsters, what size tank's you got ? and whats the filtration set up on thos ?
Right now they are in a 75 but i tihnk im going to buy a 125 and then buy a 180 and when my tsn and rtc get to big I will give them to the Washington D.C zoo for their amazonia exibit. my piranha is in a 10 gal because he is only about 4" he will get a bigger tank when he gets bigger. The pbass are still babies they are about 6-7" and they are in a 55 for now because if they were in my 75 they would get eaten.
My 75's filtration is a mag-350. my 10 gal. with the piraha has a 20gal. whisper filter. My 55 has a whisper 60gal.
the fish look great, but the redtail cats gonna need a tank bigger then 300 gal., and if you want to keep them all in the same tank you are going to need a tank over 600 gallons...
Read my post above.

Crock-Pot recently got in touch and asked me to come up with a recipe using a slow cooker to help them celebrate #Crocktober – their month of celebrating all things slow cooking.
Slow cookers certainly aren't just for meat. Vegetarians can absolutely make great use of them as well, from chili and curry to soups and beans. I'm a huge fan of veggie stews, particularly at this time of year when the leaves blow through the air, but this time I wanted to get back to my veggie desserts roots and slow cook a cake. A chocolate beetroot cake.
Beets and chocolate are such a wonderful combination. Now almost as ubiquitous as the humble carrot cake, this vegetable cake is no longer considered strange, which pleases me very much.
Slow cooking this chocolate beet cake gives it a rich, fudgy texture that matches the earthiness of the root vegetable hidden within. I've kept the cake fairly low in sugar so that I could top it with this whipped vanilla cream, made pink with beetroot juice. The very subtle flavour of the beet juice tastes lovely with the vanilla and the lightness of the cream lifts the intense cocoa flavour of the cake.
- 150g (5oz) cooked beetroot (reserve any juice for the topping)
- 115g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted and allowed to cool slightly
- 160g (3/4 cup) sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 140g (1 ¼ cups) plain (all purpose) flour
- 100g (1 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- cooking oil spray
- 150ml (1/2 cup) double (heavy/whipping) cream
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- 1 tbsp beetroot juice (reserved from cooking the beetroot, or from the packaging if using vacuum-packed)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate
- Line the bottom and sides of the 3.5L slow cooker insert with baking paper and spray with the cooking oil.
- Puree the beetroot, then, in a large bowl, stir together the pureed beetroot, melted butter, sugar and vanilla. Add the eggs, one at a time, and stir each one in well.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and gently stir to combine, being careful not to over-mix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared slow cooker insert. Using a wet spoon, spread the batter to the edges and level evenly.
- Put the lid on the slow cooker and set to low for 2 ½ hours.
- When cooked, let the cake cool slightly in the insert, then carefully remove and allow the cake to cool fully on a wire rack. Top with the beetroot vanilla topping and grated chocolate.
- Whip the cream and sugar together until thick. Add the vanilla and beetroot juice and whip again until all combined.

After last year's album that further marks Iron Maiden's foray into progressive and softer territories, the band releases the sequel to the 2008 Somewhere Back in Time compilation, From Fear to Eternity, sequencing and cataloguing the last 20 years of their career. This compilation incidentally also is the first compilation that marks guitarist Janick Gers' first contribution to Maiden up till now.
Unlike previous compilation releases before this, From Fear to Eternity features a marked lack of "classic" songs since it only contains tracks from 1990 onwards, which many fans consider the downward path of the band's career. There is a good mix of tracks from the band's No Prayer for the Dying album all the way to last year's The Final Frontier, and fans of the band's earlier works could find this compilation a difficult pill to swallow, especially with the heavy presence of songs from the Brave New World album onwards, which sees the band heading towards longer and slower (and somewhat emotional) songwriting styles. The introduction of guitarist Janick Gers is prominent, especially on tracks taken off the No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark albums, with the departure of guitarist Adrian Smith seeing him taking over most of the lead guitar duties.The triple guitar attack after the return of Adrian Smith on tracks taken off the later albums definitely displays a marked increase in energy and versatility of the band's musical approach and is certainly refreshing for long-time Maiden fans.
One other thing that one instantly notices is that even though the compilation catalogues Maiden's journey between 1990 and 2010, there isn't a single track featuring Maiden's ex-vocalist, Blaze Bayley present on the release at all. Tracks included on the release that are from the albums Virtual XI and The X Factor are instead live renditions with current frontman Bruce Dickinson on vocals, but I am not complaining either as he manages to bring these songs to live with his sheer energy and vocal range.
While the arrangements of the tracks on this release are mostly alright, with songs alternating between albums ensuring that all albums between 1990 and 2010 are covered in the utmost detail, there are moments that old fans of the band may find hard to sit through, such as having These Colours Don't Run come up right after For the Greater Good of God, two of the slower numbers on the release. Having Bring Your Daughter ... To the Slaughter come up right after that is awkward as well, with the sudden outburst of energy. One thing is certain though, ending the compilation with When the Wild Wind Blows is definitely a suitable choice.
Many fans of bands often complain and dislike compilation releases and condemn them as moves that are made by the band to make a final run on fans' money. While I generally agree with this notion, it is hard to deny that From Fear to Eternity has caused me to rediscover albums that I have neglected from Maiden's discography, and has helped in getting me to appreciate albums that I have previously disliked and I eventually go back to these albums instead of this compilation. For casual fans of the band, From Fear to Eternity is a good introduction to later-era Maiden. For more serious fans of the band though, this compilation will end up as just another CD/LP in one's collection with no real purpose other than for the appreciation of the beautiful artwork on the picture LPs.

"Neon Signs By Night part 4" Neon / Vegas By Night Tip by machomikemd
Neon / Vegas By Night, Las Vegas: 22 reviews and 41 photos
Favorite thing: this is the final neon sign tip of the four part neon sign tips with more pictures of the assorted neon signs, both outside and inside the casinos since VT only allows up to 5 pictures per tip.
like what I've said in my neon sign by day tips, I think that las vegas has the largest number of assorted neon signs of all shapes and sizes that entice you to check out the various establishments that they are presentingand even to gamble or eat or dine or drink and more. there are many neon signs in las vegas per square mile than in the rest of the county and vegas is followed closely by Macau in the number of neon signs. Go ahead and gawk and take pictures and videos of the assorted neon signs that accompany the various vegas strip and off the strip attractions as they are free!

IBM lawsuit over "racetrack" memory secrets, iPod
Recent filings in the Apple-IBM-Papermaster case reveal that IBM is potentially raising a flag due to an upcoming technology that the company fears could be compromised by Mark Papermaster's employ at Apple. The technology, noted in the Times Online (classified Exhibit 3 in the case), would allow portable consumer devices like the iPod to store exponentially more music, while also cutting battery drain to a fraction of what it is currently. The technology is dubbed "racetrack memory."

US District Judge William Alsup is preparing a ruling on the ongoing Apple-Psystar drama, wherein Apple is calling for a dismissal of Psystar's countersuit, regarding whether the former holds a monopoly on its own market. Macworld writes that the ruling is expected to occur within two weeks, detailing whether Psystar has a case against Apple, over their tight grip on the Mac ecosystem. A potential conflict of interests could also see a change in judge as well, should Psystar see fit to file a motion.

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa

text: I am trying to find a pleco that would do well in a 20 tall with mid-level schooling fish and eat algae in the tank. I started by looking at a couple of sites that sell smaller ones since there are generally only common plecos available locally, and came up with the following potential list. In coming up with this list I added all the ones that I liked the look of, then removed any that got to over 6 inches or were strictly carnivores as listed at planetcatfish.com L-02 Clown Pleco Flash Pleco L-204 (Panaque sp.) Red Spot Pleco LDA-31 (Panaque Albomaculatus) L-333 Pleco All of these are at AquaScapeOnline www.aquascapeonline.com/prodList.asp?idCategory=86 . I also looked at LiveAquaria, PetSolutions, and ArizonaGardens, but came up empty, at least for their in stock ones since I don't like Bushynose/Bristlenose or Rubbernose and the clown pleco is a repeat. Any help would be appreciated, whether its adding to or removing one from my potential list, under the conditions that it has to be small enough for a 20, easy to buy, be $30 or under, and eat algae, but it gets to be the only bottom dweller with its own cave.

The Ponton Plod
The Ponton Plod was started in 2007 by Stuart and Kath Ashley with a choice of two distances, 17 or 27 miles and attracted an entry of 89 which was a reasonable number for the first year. In 2009 it was decided to introduce a shorter 12 mile route to try and attract more local walkers who may not want to do a longer distance. Although this attracted a few local walkers it attracted a lot of club runners. Since then entry numbers have increased most years and saw our largest entry in 2012 with 248 entrants about half of these were runners. The event was not run in 2014 due to ill health.
Marshals and helpers on the day comprise of friends, members of Notfast RC which Stuart and Kath are members, and members of a Grantham Church without whose help the event would not be possible.
The proceeds of the event in 2016 will go to Besso Childrens Home in Hosur, India and Macmillan Cancer Support (Sponsor forms are available for those entrants wishing to raise extra funds for Macmillan). In 2012 the total raised was £2150.
The event starts and finishes at The Village Centre, Great Ponton, near Grantham and all routes use footpaths, bridleways, tracks and minor roads towards The Vale of Belvoir, the longer routes passing through several picturesque villages. Checkpoints serving refreshments and drinks (hot at some checkpoints) are situated at about 6 mile intervals and home made soup and puddings are provided at the finish, all included in the entry fee.
Certificates are given to all finishers, tee shirts and badges are available to purchase.
Starting time (runners & walkers) for 17 and 27 mile routes is 08.30 and for the 12mile route 09.30.

10 Mistakes to Avoid Make When Migrating to the Cloud
10 Mistakes to Avoid Make When Migrating to the Cloudby Chris Preimesberger
Trying to Get to the Cloud Too FastFaster doesn't always mean better. Urgency in moving to the cloud often leads customers to take an all-or-nothing approach. Users have to consider everything from cost to regulatory issues and cultural impact to access implications. Rushing through this process can cause issues right from the start.
Trusting the Cost Savings HaloCustomers can miscalculate an operating expense as cheaper than a capital expense just because they are writing smaller checks. This isn't always the case because they are typically just writing a lot more of those smaller checks. Cloud systems, over time, are more expensive. What cloud buys is flexibility, not savings.
Not Having Enough Controls in PlaceUsers often confuse flexibility with absolute freedom, and it often costs them. Controls have to be in place for issues ranging from optimizing consumption to access to regulatory compliance.
Believing All Clouds Are Created EqualSome clouds are better suited for enterprise workloads; others for development and testing. Some workloads are better off on private clouds and others on physical servers. IT administrators investigating cloud options need to start with an understanding of what is right for the workload.
Confusing the Benefits of Different Cloud OptionsAll workloads must either be in the public cloud or on premises. While it is a good practice to co-locate computing with active data, a public cloud can be introduced for backup, disaster recovery and creating tiers of cold data for long-term retention. Hybrid clouds are a viable and low-risk option to introduce cloud into the data center.
Failing to Isolate Private and Public CloudsPrivate and public clouds have different deployment modes, so there will be sufficient differences in their management tools and interfaces. However, IT organizations need to have consistency in their management philosophies, and tools need to converge at least at the policy level.
Ignoring ConnectivityAll cloud vendors have to have good connectivity into their data centers, but what users have to consider is this: If they are going to run workloads in the cloud, do they have enough connectivity with the cloud provider? This includes bandwidth from their facilities to the geographic location of the provider. Bandwidth costs break a cloud deal more often than customers realize.
Trusting Security to the Wrong PartySecurity of the cloud vendor's data centers and infrastructure is a top priority. Some of them have impressive K-9 security and other layers. But security and access of your business's applications and data is your problem. The iCloud break-in exposed a lot of those realities.
Forgetting to Take Ownership of Data Protection or Disaster RecoveryCloud vendors are only responsible for uptime, and most contracts will not even guarantee that. You have to pay to have your data replicated, and that only gives you data availability. An IT administrator is responsible for the business's disaster-recovery strategy and its own recovery from corruptions or breaches.
Thinking the Cloud Means the End of Silos, Lock-inEach public cloud is managed and operated differently, and that is quite different from how private clouds or hosted-service clouds may run. Portability and migration capabilities are still in their infancy. Tread with care before you place all your data center eggs in a single cloud basket.
In only a handful of years, cloud computing has transformed the way many enterprises do business. However, according to Verizon's 2014 Enterprise Cloud Report, about a third of all organizations still haven't made a move to using any cloud services. For the others who have invested in cloud computing, the journey was likely a bumpy ride—especially if the migration was their first. Given that cloud isn't going away, developing a seamless migration path to the technology can help IT minimize mistakes and, more importantly, attain objectives. However, if enterprises think all their data management and IT issues will be resolved with a move to the cloud, they'd better think again. Cloud hype is as rich in misnomers and falsehoods as it is in promising value and efficiency. In this slide show, based on eWEEK reporting and input from Sabrinath Rao, senior director and head of the Cloud Ops and Orchestration Business Unit at CommVault, we highlight some common mistakes when moving to the cloud and ways to avoid them.

When you're writing the People in History accounts in the exams, is it essential to be written in first person or third person? E.g my name is... I work in... Or can you write it in whatever view you wish?
Whatever view you wish, I think. I've done both in class tests and have never been docked marks for doing so :)
If it says write an account of a named renaissance artist for example you write it in third person. If it says write an account of a lord in a medieval castle you write it as if you were the lord ( 1st person ). Whenever of a named ....... is written there you write it in the third person.
It doesn't really matter. The important thing to get marks is giving information about the topic

Heavy rainfall in China has formed a seven-metre-deep lake in its central Hunan province.
The body of water is more than 150 square kilometres, or 58 square miles, according to the BBC, which broadcast a video showing rescue workers in a boat speeding past partially submerged homes.
The torrential rain that has been falling across central and southern China for several weeks has caused substantial damage to infrastructure, with flood water submerging buildings, cars and roads.
Several provinces and regions in China including Guangdong, Hunan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangxi have seen "relatively serious" flooding, according to Xinhua news agency.
On Friday, Xinhua reported that over 8,000 people in Hunan Province have been affected by the downpours, and more than 7,500 have been relocated.
An estimated 350,000 people in neighbouring Guizhou province have been affected, with over 3,800 forced to relocate. The cost of damage in this province alone is thought to have passed 120 million yuan (19.2 million US dollars).
According to the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, floods in 19 provinces and regions have killed 134 and left 12 missing so far this year.Reuse content

Appalling results of gas (possibly of an illegal type) used by Egypt's riot police.
This photograph was taken on 4 February 2012 on Mohammed Mahmoud street near the junction with Mansour street in Downtown Cairo close to Egypt's Ministry of Interior during a protest against the perceived complicity of security forces in the death of Ahly football supporters.
Egypt's CSF or riot police used CS and possibly also CR gas and they were fired in a very heavy handed way with entire streets being enveloped. Also some CS gas stocks seemed to be carrying dates that suggested they had long outlived their "safer usage period."
I saw some protesters shaking violently on the ground as a result of prolonged tear gas exposure and others, who like the man in the photograph, appeared to be unconscious.
"(The gas) burned the skin and lungs, and we all fell to the ground shaking uncontrollably" recalled Mahmoud Hassan - a marketing executive.
Commentators and medics argued as to whether the unusually severe symptoms of many protesters in Cairo were due to the deliberate use of alternate crowd control gases or even military use chemicals ( www.merip.org/mero/mero010112 ), the use of dangerously outdated stock or the overuse of tear gas in confined spaces.
( see for instance www.ipsnews.net/2011/12/deadly-gas-enters-the-arab-spring/ )
Much of the country's tear gas stocks were supplied from the United States, and despite their continued misuse against protesters Washington continued to supply the regime with this often lethal method of crowd control. However according to the Egypt Independent someone was eager to hide this fact from world attention.
A memorandum from Major General Magdy al-Gohary, head of Police Supply, admitted that -
""The permit from the US government was obtained after removing the company's name and country of origin written on the items." (Egypt Independent 22.02.13)
When I was briefly in detention in 2012 I remember feeling worried when during my first night at Abdeen police station - myself and a group of protesters who had been arrested and crammed into a small cage were guarded by teenage police cadets armed with tear gas rifles.
I was sad but not surprised when In 2013, thirty seven prisoners died in agony asphyxiating on tear gas in a prison van.
"Of all the ways to die," Foreign Policy reported, "this was one of the most horrible." The lawyer for the prisoners later described how the mens' faces were so contorted and blue that witnesses thought they had been burned.
Although after a massive public outcry four police officers were later found guilty of involuntary manslaughter - the harshest sentence was a five year prison sentence while the other three officers got one year suspended sentences.
