News : NetSuite Transforms Retail Business Operations
San Mateo, Calif., Jan. 12, 2015 -- NetSuite Inc. a provider of cloud-based financials / ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, announces that two fashion and apparel retailers—Journelle, a seller of lingerie and loungewear, and Alton Lane, a maker of men's custom-tailored clothing, have deployed NetSuite to run their core retail business processes from order management, inventory management, financials, supplier purchasing and customer relationship management (CRM) to marketing – all from within one unified cloud-based business management platform.
The modernization efforts taken by these two retailers enabled both companies to replace a mix of disparate software applications that hamper business efficiency, visibility, growth and the ability to deliver the shopping experiences today's customers expect. Upgrading to NetSuite has resulted in streamlined operations, efficient processes and real-time visibility into their business performance and customers. Further, these retailers are now able to deliver engaging, personalized and seamless omnichannel shopping experiences to their customers.

Re: Leslie Moorhouse lancashire england
In reply to:
Leslie Moorhouse lancashire england
Greetings Alan,
just looked in the American Social Security Deaths list and found the following:
Soc Sec No.564-74-6061
Registered: CA (California)
Born:3 Oct 1900
Died: Dec 1984Europe
Last known addresses:
United Kingdom (London),Ref. XX800
(Maddock, North Dakota) 4g.
Perhaps this is your man as he does have English connections.The only other Leslie Moorhouse registered Lived in Michigan (b. 1903 and seems all American)
There are records of two Leslie Moorhouses in New Zealand born 1904 and 1908. The latter one has parentage from Manchester (Frederick Curtis Moorhouse son of David Adman Moorhouse (horse dealer, etc)) They emigrated here (N.Z.)in the 1880's.
As Leslie is a very uncommon first name for Moorhouses I thought you might make a connection, though this is obviously not the sea captain you are actually seeking.
Cheers Mark

The Haunting of Sam Cabot(2009)
A novel by Mark Edward Hall
There are places that hold evil, houses so vile, so tainted, that people refuse to live in them. Farnham House is one of those places. Once an inn, this majestic old New England manor house is back on the market, and the price is very reasonable. Sam Cabot is a man tired of moving. Now he wants nothing more than to live a quiet life in the country with his wife and young son. Little does he know that he will soon begin a long, slow descent into madness and that he will spend his summer living with dead things.

One of Hollie Cavanagh's loves is football -- or what we know as "soccer" -- and when she gets a video message from the Liverpool Football Club, she audibly gasps. "Did you see that?" she asks Ryan.
On the day when American Bandstand's Dick Clark died, American Idol also gives a nod to Soul Train and host Don Cornelius, who also passed away this year. Don's son, Tony Cornelius, is in the house tonight.
Hollie's doing some Dusty Springfield soul -- Son of a Preacher Man, a song that blends British and Southern the same way that Hollie does at her best. And this is Hollie at her best. It's not quite perfect, but Hollie sounds like she's on the verge of a stylistic breakthrough. Her two songs tonight, as similar as they were, are exactly where she needs to be artistically.
"You dug in for that last note," Randy says. "You were like, 'Yo! I will not be outdone on this show!' ... You worked it out!" He likes this better than Round One.
"I agree," Jennifer says. "You're showing a new composure ... and it really suits you."
"I still think you can push it even more," Steven says. "You've got the voice, you've got the vehicle. Come on!"

In the DEL, Philip Gogulla was -3 as Cologne got rocked by third place Krefeld, 6-0. Despite the slow night, the Dusseldorf native has four goals and six assists over his last ten games. Former Avs prospect Charlie Stephens paced the Penguins, who've outscored Cologne 12-1 in the season's two meetings, with two goals and two assists in the win. Drew Schiestel remained out with a bum shoulder in Niagara's 6-5 shootout win over Kingston. Alex Pietrangelo (STL) had a goal, assist, and the shootout winner for the Dogs, while Ethan Werek ('09) potted a pair of goals and assists for the Fronts. Meanwhile the team that made Niagara an offer for Schiestel's services, Windsor, absolutely smoked Sault Ste. Marie 12-1. The trade chip offered by the Spits, 16-year old Niagara Falls native Justin Shugg, led all scorers with a hat trick and an assist. In the Q, Jordon Southorn was +1 in PEI's 4-3 shootout loss to Cape Breton.

The Cute-Little-Red-Headed Girlfriend and I have the flu, so we haven't been going out very much lately. Because we've been hunkered down, which we missed the start of the Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary Exhibition happening at Royal/T Artspace. It's a three week long event commemorating Hello Kitty's birthday on--mark the date--November 1. It seems Hello Kitty is 35, which means I must be 102.
I wish I could have gone to the VIP Gala opening event, so that I could causally drop it into conversation. "You were at the L.A. Opera last night? No, I couldn't attend. I was at the Hello Kitty VIP Gala." Although I couldn't attend the opening, I have been able to see much of the artwork online.
Among the pieces I particularly like are the figure pictured above, which shows Hello Kitty wearing a toasted marshmallow costume. I thought it was very appropriate for Halloween. It's actually part of a series of figures depicting Hello Kitty in various marshmallow regalia. You can view more here. I also like the below portrait of the Bigfoot family showing the heartwarming role Hello Kitty plays in their lives.
The first time I encountered Hello Kitty merchandise was in a department store. I remember being confused by it because I didn't know where the character originated from. I thought I must have missed some new cultural manifestation, like a series of Hello Kitty children's books, or a Hello Kitty animated television show--something that gave birth to the character. It took me awhile to understand that Hello Kitty exists purely in reference to her own merchandise.

TVS Motors, India's third largest two-wheeler maker, is developing premium motorcycles to take on the likes of Hero Honda Motors and Bajaj Auto, and boost its sagging sales.
The Chennai-based company is developing bikes in the range of 200cc and above to compete with Bajaj Auto's Pulsar range, which begins with the 150cc variant and ends with the 220cc model at the top of the ranks, sources, who declined to be identified, said.
Confirming the development, HS Goindi, senior vice-president (international sales), TVS Motors, said: "As a company strategy, we look to develop new models for different segments. We will definitely look to get into the premium segment (180cc and above).
We have planned some launches later in the year and some can happen in the premium segment." Sales of high power motorcycles have risen in India helped by increased demand from the younger section of the population. More than half of India's 1.1 billion population is below the age of 25 years, according to a United Nations survey. The average age of Indians by 2020 is expected to be around 29 years with China (37 years) and Japan (48) trailing.
Demand in the segment has also risen due to improving infrastructure, including expressways. Sales of Bajaj Auto's Avenger, Pulsar, Hero Honda's Karizma and Royal Enfiled's Bullet, Thuderbird and Machismo models have grown by more than 30 per cent in the past one year.
Sales of two-wheelers above 125cc up to 250cc capacity grew by 14 per cent.
TVS Motors' sales during the last year dropped by about 20 per cent. The drop was mainly seen in the entry level (100cc) and executive (125cc) motorcycle segments while growth in the scooter segment was flat. The company maintains that demand for the Apache model is quite buoyant.
TVS Motors worked with Italian two-wheeler design firm Engines Engineering SpA for a range of premium bikes before the alliance ended about eight months ago. It reportedly produced two premium models for the company.
The Italian company, which helped superbike makers Ducati and Yamaha, among others, to produce high-end complex machines, was recently bought by Mahindra & Mahindra.
Goindi, however, declined to comment on the models developed by the Italian firm. Meanwhile, the company will also offer an upgraded model of Apache RTR (160cc) every six months to keep customer excitement at high levels. The company is launching a fuel injected Apache variant this month, which will be followed by another variant in December.
"TVS Motors is planning models in the premium segment as the demand is rising and also due to better margins. As the Indian two-wheeler buyer moves up the value chain, the demand for 180cc-plus bikes in India is gaining momentum. The company saw a drastic drop in sales last year due to loss in excitement for its offerings," said a city-based auto analyst.
The market share of the entry level (upto 100cc) segment, which constituted 73 per cent of India's bike industry, dropped by 19 per cent last last year. It's share stood at 79 per cent the year before that. Arch-rival Bajaj Auto has already said that it will not introduce any new models in the 100cc segment where it sells the Platina. Hero Honda, the leader in the entry level segment, has a market share of 70 per cent.

On Tuesday on MSNBC, as he was being interviewed by members of the press, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham's audio suddenly and completely went away. After discussing a reported meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian "lawyer" named Natalia Veselnitskaya, Graham said: "I'm sure they (Trump officials) met with a lot of people during the campaign. I'm sure the Clinton campaign met with —" ... well, we don't know what he said after that. That's because the network's Kasie Hunt, clearly without warning the cameraperson involved, decided that she didn't want to hear about Mrs. Clinton, and that she instead needed to run over and speak with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul.
Now we know that advertisers and the public are being supplied fake ratings by the same broadcasters who so often deliver fake news. A Thursday morning Wall Street Journal dispatch by Joe Flint reports that the broadcast networks routinely inflate their reported evening news audiences. They hide low-performing evening audiences by — get this — "forgetting how to spell."
On Thursday evening, CNN.com ran a story by reporter Thomas Frank which, according to a now-posted Editor's Note, connected "Anthony Scaramucci with (congressional) investigations into the Russian Direct Investment Fund." The Editor's Note tells the network's readers: "That story did not meet CNN's editorial standards and has been retracted." Further, "Links to the story have been disabled. CNN apologizes to Mr. Scaramucci." Then, in a Monday evening bombshell, Fox News's Howard Kurtz reported that "Three journalists (have) quit CNN in fallout from (the) retracted Russia story" — although it's possible they may have resigned instead of getting fired. What in the world happened?
There are people who appear to live in hermetically sealed bubbles, and then there's Chris Cillizza, formerly of the Washington Post but now at CNN. On the apparently safe assumption that he really thought President Donald Trump and the public would have a hard time coming up with answers, Cillizza challenged the Commander in Chief and, and in effect the Twitterverse, to "name a (news) story that is 'fake' or 'incorrect.'" A tidal wave of specific responses arrived in short order.
Time Magazine's May 29 cover features a purported parody of the U.S. White House turning red and well towards being transformed into what the illustrator believes is "the Kremlin." This is supposed to show just how creative and conscientious these folks are. What it really shows is the opposite.
Calling in to Thursday's NBC Today during a special report on the death of former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, New York magazine's Gabe Sherman bid the media executive good riddance as he launched into an incendiary rant calling Ailes a "terrorizing figure" whose "quest for power consumed him."
The Associated Press and reporter Julie Pace are among the last institutions and people on earth, respectively, with any credibility to harangue the public about the dangers of "a man willing to challenge - in dramatic fashion - the institutions created to hold the president accountable." But there they were on Wednesday morning, in the wake of President Donald Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, doing just that.
Democratic Party strategist Peter Daou is among the sorest of all the sore losers having a hard time handling Hillary Clinton's November electoral loss to Donald Trump. He has been ranting for weeks on Twitter about how sexism hurt Mrs. Clinton, how "THE PLAYING FIELD ... (was) TILTED AGAINST HER" (yes, the original was in all caps), and even that the media "helped Trump win." Friday, Daou took his act to Tucker Carlson's Fox News show, where, as would be expected, Carlson made valid points, while Daou had nothing but tired excuses and spin.
In a segment on media bias on his Wednesday evening Fox News show, there was an interesting juxtaposition between host Tucker Carlson's short opening flashback to a conversation with Reuters reporter and White House Correspondents Association President Jeff Mason at Reuters and the live conversation he had with Buzzfeed Editor Ben Smith. Smith incredibly insisted that "people don't get into the business of reporting ... because we are political activists."
The opening of the May 3 episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit was eerily reminiscent of the actual scandal from which the episode was cribbed. Comet Ping Pong pizza parlor was exchanged for the "Coral Dragon" Chinese restaurant, but the basic story was identical. Intrepid conspiracy theorists uncovered a secret code in hacked emails that detailed a Congressional child sex ring. Countless victims were being held in the restaurant's non-existent basement, just waiting for a brave "self-investigator" to rescue them.
Just as it's exceedingly tricky to know the dancer from the dance, it's awfully hard to separate Fox News Channel's program content from its hypermacho, litigation-generating workplace. That was the word from Talking Points Memo editor and publisher Josh Marshall in a Friday post. In Marshall's words, FNC on the air and FNC in the office are "almost umbilically tied…If you've watched Fox for years and you found that it wasn't a hotbed of sexual harassment, pervasive racist attitudes and a generalized sixty-something faux-bro 'alpha' culture, you'd have to think you had been scammed, that the big screen talent were somehow hypocrites and frauds. It would be like finding out that Chris Hayes was a major libertarian who funded the Cato Institute and Club for Growth or that Joy Reid had secretly been advising Donald Trump throughout the 2016 election cycle."
The hosts at The View couldn't have been more thrilled with the news that Fox News ousted their longtime primetime personality Bill O'Reilly after multiple accusations of sexual abuse from female staffers and anchors. On the Thursday show, Whoopi excitedly told the audience that O'Reilly was "out" to loud applause, before boasting that the women at The View actually "broke with Bill" years ago, during a 2010 appearance on their show.

AbstractDESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and its sequelae, pulmonary embolism (PE), is a significant clinical problem, representing the leading cause of preventable in-hospital mortality in the USA and other developed coun tries. Indeed, anywhere from 60,000 to 200,000 people are dying each year in the United States because of DVT related pulmonary embolism. Therefore, reliable detection and diagnosis of DVT is of paramount importance. Once detected, acute clots must be diff erentiated from chronic DVT for appropriate treatment. However, there are no reliable, clinically available methods to stage DVT. Even the gold standard diagnostic technique, duplex venous ultrasound, can only detect but not age these clots. Therefore once a DVT is detected, highly potent, low-molecular weight heparin anticoagulation therapy, with its associated morbidity and mortality, is often given to over compensate for a PE risk from what might only be a chronic thrombus. Over time, as a clot ages and matures, DVT consistently hardens. Previous studies demonstrated that elastography a technique to image elastic properties of tissue can be used to reliably differentiate the chronic and acute DVT. In addition to elasticity contrast, optical absorption of DVT changes with blood clot maturation the acute clots are associated with high concentration of red blood cells, and chronic composed of tangled mesh of platelets, fibrin, and degenerating leukocytes. Consequently, the photoacoustic imaging an ultrasound- based imaging of optical absorption can be used to further characterize blood clots thus assisting the classification of detected DVT. Therefore, we propose to develop an integrated multifunctional imaging system to simultaneously detect and differentiate DVT based on grayscale and Doppler/color flow ultrasound imaging, photoacoustic imaging and elastography. The combined imaging will enhance DVT detection, diagnosis and staging without significant modification in current clinical protocol of ultrasound exa mination of DVT. The main objective of this fast-track SBIR program is to develop and test the integrated ultrasound, photoacoustic and elasticity imaging system to detect and age DVT. To achieve our objective, we will design and build an ultrasound imagin g system capable of simultaneous, real-time ultrasound, photoacoustic and strain imaging of blood clots in deep vein, and subsequent visualization of DVT elasticity. We will then test the developed system using tissue-mimicking models of DVT followed by cl inical studies of patients with known acute and chronic blood clots. Based on the results of these studies, it is the long-range goal of the overall program to develop, thoroughly test and commercialize a real-time ultrasound-based imaging system for DVT d etection, diagnosis and aging. The central theme of this project is to design, develop and commercialize a real-time integrated multimodal ultrasound-based imaging system to detect and age deep vein thrombosis. Our research program is focused on developmen t of an advanced imaging tool that takes full advantage of the many synergistic features of three complementary imaging modalities ultrasound, photoacoustics, and elastography. Integrated ultrasound, photoacoustic and elasticity imaging is a novel techno logy capable of accurate visualization of both structural and functional properties of tissue and it may be useful far beyond DVT detection and diagnosis. The applications of multimodal imaging may be extended into cancer research, diagnostic imaging and t herapy monitoring, cellular imaging, small animal imaging, microsurgery, etc. The current study, however, is a part of a focused program to develop and commercialize much needed yet unavailable clinical tool for DVT detection, diagnosis and characterizatio n.

HSBC profits hit $21.9 billion, wage costs rise
HSBC just missed analysts' expectations with a near $22 billion (13 billion pound) profit last year, which marked the biggest profit among western banks thanks to its strength in Asia and other emerging markets.
HSBC, Europe's biggest bank, on Monday reported 2011 profits of $21.9 billion, up 15 percent on the year but just below the average forecast of $22.2 billion from 13 analysts polled by Reuters. The profit included $3.9 billion of gains on the value of its own debt.
Profits at its investment bank were down 24 percent on 2010 at $7 billion, hurt as the euro zone debt crisis slowed capital markets activity in the second half of last year.
CEO Stuart Gulliver is reshaping HSBC to cut annual costs by $3.5 billion, lift profitability and sharpen its focus on Asia, and said he will step up the execution of his plan this year.

It's the middle of the day and nearly pitch dark in John Kapellas' home.
The windows are blocked with fabric and paper collages that permit only tiny slivers of sunlight. The lights on his microwave, refrigerator and air purifier are covered with aluminum foil or black tape.
At night he navigates by the glow of rechargeable candles - the kind you see in restaurants. "I also have little LED flashlights I can clip onto my hat, like a little miner's light," he said. "That's how I cook. That's how I do everything."
Afflicted since 2007 with a severe form of photosensitivity, Kapellas, 59, breaks out in blisters if exposed to light - any kind of light - even when fully clothed and covered in high-factor sunscreen. They sprout on his face, neck, chest, back and feet. The worst ones take days or weeks to go away.
For the most part, he's an involuntary recluse in his 500-square-foot Mission District apartment.
"His form of photosensitivity is very, very rare," said Dr. Timothy Berger, professor of clinical dermatology at UCSF Medical Center. "Most people with photosensitivity are allergic to ultraviolet light, but once they're indoors they do OK."
Kapellas is equally reactive to sunlight and artificial light. Laptops, television, even the illumination from a cell phone can burn.
"Certainly the worst burns I ever get are when I go to the doctor," Kapellas said. "My doctor's waiting room has low ceilings with open fluorescent lighting, so it's like sitting under the sun. I have to be under a blanket, literally, or they have to put me in a dark room."
"I have only seen one patient with his pattern of photosensitivity among the hundreds of patients I've seen over the decades," Berger said. "He is a good example of how disabling severe photosensitivity can be."
Kapellas is sitting on a sofa in his tiny apartment, a space so dark that it takes 10 minutes for a visitor's eyes to adjust. He's 4 feet away, but I can barely make out the contours of his face and none of his facial gestures. It's his voice that conveys emotion.
For most of his life, Kapellas spent large chunks of time outdoors. For 29 years he ran Squeegee Express, a window-washing business, and from 2004 to 2008 he and a friend, sculptor Daniel Goldstein, were collaborators on a series of successful public-art installations.
Today, Kapellas rarely leaves his apartment. He can go outside for brief errands, but has to wear a hoodie, gloves and sunblock from head to toe. He used to work out at his gym several times a week, but stopped in April after a melanoma was removed from his back.
He doesn't know what caused his photosensitivity. "I've been HIV-positive since 1988, so there's always that," he said. "But there's so little known about it that it's hard to say."
Dr. Inder Dhillon, a head of dermatology at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco, hasn't seen Kapellas as a patient, but believes the medications taken by HIV patients are more likely to cause photosensitivity than the virus itself.
"In general," Dhillon said, "one of the commonest causes of photosensitivity is the medications a patient is taking. The most common are antibiotics. Also anti-inflammatory medications, diabetes and hypertension medications."
But in many cases, Dhillon added, "the cause is hidden."
Kapellas grew up in Hayward, Alameda and Castro Valley. He spent four years with the Navy in Vietnam, married in 1976 and fathered two children, now 32 and 29. He came out when he was 30, divorced and has been in three long-term relationships with men, two of which ended when the partner died of AIDS.
Photosensitivity came late in life. "In December 2007 I started getting rashes, but then my face got boils," he said. "Doctors couldn't figure it out."
In 2010, a Department of Veterans Affairs doctor sent him to the UCSF Medical Center dermatology clinic, where he was diagnosed with solar urticaria, a relatively rare form of photosensitivity.
Much later, he learned that he didn't have solar urticaria but another form of photosensitivity so rare that it has no name and no precedent, as far as anyone knows.
Although he takes every precaution to minimize light exposure, Kapellas says his condition has gotten much worse in the past three months. "The blisters that used to be around my neck are now coming all the way down my chest to my stomach, and building up almost half an inch on my back.
"My body shape changes when I get swollen with the blisters. Turning into another creature is very strange."
For most of Kapellas' life, the outdoors gave him energy and sustenance. Gardening was a major passion, and at one time he maintained a large backyard aviary with canaries, finches, quails and parrots. Today, he said, "I can't go out and be with the trees and plants and ocean. We live in such a beautiful place, and I can't enjoy it anymore."
He can't travel, go to restaurants or work in the garden. Kapellas saw one movie last year, "The Hobbit," but had to rush into the theater, sit in the top row farthest from the screen, and then rush out to a waiting car. It didn't help that the movie played at night: Even the light cast from streetlights and car headlamps causes him to burn.
With a condition this severe, adaptation can be an art form. At home, "I do what I can to stay entertained. I play piano. I do a little sculpture. I do chin-ups and pull-ups on my shower bar. I have a microscope and I look at bacteria that grows around here."
Reading requires light, so he listens to books on tape. He can watch DVDs, provided he covers his TV monitor with an ink-tinted plastic screen. His laptop has the same filter - "It's almost like wearing sunglasses" - but to use it Kapellas has to wear long sleeves, a hat and a bandanna across his face.
"Photosensitivity is a large group of conditions, affecting persons of all ethnicities and skin types," said Berger, the UCSF dermatology professor. The range of manifestations is wide: Some people can go outside freely with protective clothing, hats and sunblock, or live comfortably at home with filtered windows that allow a minimum of UV rays.
British yachtsman Ben Ainslie has coped with sun sensitivity all his life - it started when he was 3 - but won four Olympic gold medals despite that. Others, like Hannelore Kohl, the wife of former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, fail to adapt. In 2001, despondent over her photosensitivity and the restrictions it placed on her life, she committed suicide at 68.
Attitude is a major factor. Kapellas, a charismatic man with many friends and an inherently positive mind-set, manages to stay upbeat despite his situation.
It helps, he said, that "both my kids are here in San Francisco. My son, Corey, lives 10 minutes that way, and my daughter, Bri lives 10 minutes the other direction, so I see quite a bit of them.
"My mom is 80 and lives in Los Gatos and she's bringing me lunch today. I have a huge family here, and San Francisco is a place that everybody goes through. I feel very loved. I definitely couldn't do this by myself."
His partner, massage therapist Jason Lloyd, 38, "is here almost every day. He cooks for me. Sex is an issue. He's HIV-negative and I'm HIV-positive. Also, if I do too much sexually, the blisters turn into sores. So we cuddle a lot. That's our strong intimate connection."
Given the limitations of his life in the dark, Lloyd said, "John has an incredible attitude. I think most other people would either have committed suicide or gone into some kind of angry depression. But he's genuinely positive."
It's a matter of consciously choosing to feel all right, Kapellas said.
"I can go down the path of 'Oh, my God, what a nightmare!' It does happen here and there," he said. "Or I can say, 'Well, this is what I'm doing now' and figure out ways to enjoy it.
"I guess I'll always be in the process of learning how to live this way."

I have been getting up at 5 o'clock every morning and cant go back too sleep i guess that's a major reason why i am so tired all the time AND on top of that i am constipated i know a lot of women get it during pregnancy but the only thing that works for me is suppositories and i don't always want too rely on them
I am)
i will try that thanks and sometimes i am uncomfortable i have two regular pillows and 2 body pillows my husband is getting tired of all the pillows cause they take up so much room on the bed but he understands i need them lol i don't know if i should try another pillow lol i know they can give me something for sleep if i need it but i really dont want too take any meds that i really dont have too take i hate side effects too everything DONT KNOW WHAT TOO DO
Ha! I wish.. I wish I had that happen sometimes :)
I don't have this issue. My issue is that I wake up frequently through the out the night, if i can sleep more than 2 hrs at a time without waking up then it was a good night. Sometimes I wake up because I have to pee, but a lot of times It seems like I wake up for no reason, and even though I almost always go right back to sleep, when you wake up 4 or 5 times a night, it's like you barely even slept.
WOW that's crazy some days i wake up i feel ok until the day starts going by then i start too get extremely tired like its bed time already but i wont take a nap its like i start too and then my body just wakes me up from closing my eyes i wonder if its the fact that i worry about so much too the point that when i don't want too worry and try too give my brain a break it just keeps on running anyway lol I DON'T KNOW lol

A cognitive model of the visual imagination will produce " incoherent " results when it adds elements to an imagined scene that come from different contexts (e.g., " computer " and " cheese " with " mouse ").

Riot Ornitz welcomes you to the metaverse division of the S-Config site.
This page is the landing spot if you clicked on the profile tab of Riot Ornitz. Or, you decided to venture forth in the Text section of this website. A lot of things in this category deal with my adventures within the world of Second Life. I guess this would be classified as a second generation metaverse engine for the furry community (I guess Furcadia would be the first generation metaverse, which is laughable in itself. However, I was never apart of Furcadia for any length of time) and thus will be my personal experience for everything that is second life.
As mentioned in this article. It is very easy to access things on my site through the profile tab of whatever second life client you are using without ever leaving Second Life to open up an external browser.

This isn't hiring somebody to run a small printing shop. Its a billion buck business with high stakes expectations.
My minimal expectation would be that the manager would be in town early and meeting with the employees early. Several Oilers reportedly spend summers here typically. Is this not the case anymore? Why not spend a little time with them.
Does Eakins really think he's going to get a firm handle on 30 or so different psyches and know their ins and outs, what works, doesn't work, and do that all at once while running a TC, running an exhibition season, coaching a pro club. Eakins is big on the extracurricular figuring guys out coaching philosophy. He should well know that **** takes time. We really don't have that time. Eakins, and the club, need to be prepared to hit the ground running.
Anyway, its an interesting discussion, and including some speculation but I'm going on a lot of what Eakins has already stated. Theres going to be a huge difference here vs Eakins being well settled in his roles with the Marlies with a team, and place, he knew intimately. We'll see how he adjusts.
The majority players do not stay here. In particular the big names on the team (Hall, Eberle, RNH, Gagner, Yakupov, Schultz, Perron, Hemsky I guess) all leave town for the summer.

The lawyer for the first person to plead guilty to participating in the Stanley Cup riot has thrown a wrench into Premier Christy Clark's Throne Speech promise by saying he'll oppose an application to have his client's sentencing televised.
Ryan Dickinson, 20, pleaded guilty earlier this month to one count of participating in a riot and one count of breach of recognizance. Two charges of mischief over $5,000 were dropped as a result of his plea deal.
Eric Warren, Mr. Dickinson's lawyer, told a provincial court judge on Tuesday he will not consent to his client's image being splashed across television screens.
"I expect to oppose that application," Mr. Warren said. The case was put over until Jan. 25.
Ms. Clark vowed the morning after the June riot to expose those involved to the public gaze. In October, her government used the Throne Speech to call for public court proceedings for anyone charged in connection with the riot.
"When it comes to the Stanley Cup riots, those guys had no problems doing their crimes quite in public with all kinds of people taking pictures and doing videos all around them, so I think they should have no problem being tried in public either," the Premier told reporters after the speech.
The Criminal Justice Branch initially resisted the bid to have cameras in the courts. The government overruled the Crown's objections and ordered prosecutors to push for broadcasts.
Legal observers said the plan was unlikely to succeed because judges were expected to allow cameras in courtrooms only with the consent of all parties, including defendants.
Neil MacKenzie, spokesman for the Criminal Justice Branch, said on Tuesday that might not be the case.
"The Supreme Court guidelines indicate that written consent of the named parties is necessary for the application," he said. "The provincial court policy incorporates that by reference as something the court may use as a guideline. It's not necessarily something that is a prerequisite in provincial court. That will be for the court to decide."
Mr. Dickinson, who is from Coquitlam, has been in jail since his arrest for violating a curfew from a previous assault charge. Mr. Warren said his client expects to serve time for the riot conviction, although he did not provide further details or speak with reporters after the hearing.
Mr. Dickinson pleaded guilty on Jan. 6, then immediately switched lawyers. The reason for the switch is unclear. Mr. Warren is being compensated through the Legal Services Society.
Mark Benton, the society's executive director, wouldn't disclose how many people suspected of taking part in the riot are being represented through legal aid, although he said it's "not a lot."
Mr. Benton said the early broadcast applications are expected to set a precedent for the rest of the riot cases.
"They'll have a significant influence … because we value consistency in the justice system," he said.
Vancouver police held a news conference on Tuesday to update their riot investigation. The force said it has recommended charges against 20 more people, raising the total number to 100. In B.C., police must forward charge recommendations to the Crown for approval. The Crown has approved and laid charges against 30 people.
The police department has been much criticized for the pace of its investigation. It didn't forward its first major batch of case files to the Crown until Oct. 31 – 4½ months after the riot.
Inspector Les Yeo said he's confident prosecutors can handle the new batch of files, and another batch that will be forwarded in the near future.
Although only one person has pleaded guilty to participating in the riot seven months after it occurred, Inspector Yeo said he doesn't believe the force has missed its opportunity to send a message.
"I think the message is still today, and it will in the future be passed to the rioters, that we won't tolerate this in the city of Vancouver or anywhere in the province," he said.Report Typo/Error

www.riut.co.uk The RiutBag - rucksack with no outer zips for safe, calm city travel - was fully funded on Kickstarter 26 November 2014. Here's the Kickstarter page, with video http://kck.st/1tvaf06
Address reminder for Kickstarter backers: Login to www.kickstarter.com to provide your address in the RiutBag survey if you haven't yet. It's important to fill this in so I can book international freight for everyone and, of course, send you your RiutBag!
Greetings! Here's the fortnightly update with photos + videos as we launch into the new year ahead.
Problems + solutions
I always start by addressing risks. Good news! I'm pleased to share with you that no new problems have arisen. All chosen materials are successfully being made from scratch and are on schedule to reach the factory as intended. The factory and I are in touch daily to get everything lined up for a smooth manufacture and shipment.
If there are no problems, what are we up to? Now we're getting on with all the fun stuff: double checking centimetre and millimetre measurements on each panel of the RiutBag, labelling the freight cardboard boxes to ensure they get from A to B, ordering the postal bags (made from recycled materials and 100% degradable) in which your RiutBags will be sent and ensuring the freight company is fully in tune with the freight forwarding warehouse so that each stage runs smoothly.
Riut = Revolution in user thinking
In 2015 we – the backers of this project – will see how our interest, imagination, openness and willingness to be part of something bigger turns words like "I've got an idea" or "I really want to do this" into action. The result is that we will all be wearing our bags the Riut way round! We're trying something new and, soon, you'll be able to tell me the difference it makes to your journeys, commutes and urban travels.
Thanks to those backers who wrote in to ask about this! Riut is pronounced "riot". It's my disruptive but positive design philosophy to get users solving problems for themselves and others.
Over to you
This idea – Riut, Revolution in user thinking and RiutBag – is all for you. It's designed to make you feel calm and confident when you're using your RiutBag and, if you're interested, to show you that you can do this too: have an idea, think it through, get it to a point where you can show people and make it happen.
This is already happening! It brings me genuine pride and excitement, sitting here behind my laptop, when I get messages from backers telling me they've been inspired to try new things. Friends and family have heard me shout "This is *exactly* what it's all about!" when such messages arrive. Keep them coming! If you've been inspired to do something new as a consequence this or any other Kickstarter project, get in touch!
I've heard from backers who are now rethinking the wallet, designing personalised compartments for their RiutBag, designing iPad integrations for use in the bath or in bed and picking up old projects they'd left by the wayside years ago - carpentry, electronics and music! They are finding out more about what they are capable of doing; they are problem solving for themselves and the rest of us.
Problems inspire us
When we're going about our everyday lives, we spot problems and have regular complaints. This isn't quite right, that is annoying, why can't this be better, when will this finally get fixed? It's not such a bad thing, actually: every time we have a complaint, we've actually spotted something that could be done better.
If you think about it and realise you can think of something to solve it, then you might just be on to the next big thing. As my mantra – Revolution in user thinking – suggests, I think that users of products and services are best placed to spot problems and fix them.
When someone wants to create something new it's his or her job to obsess about the problem which needs solving so the rest of us don't have to! The core problem which the RiutBag seeks to solve is that the conventional rucksack design isn't fit for our changing urban lives. When the old rucksack is worn as intended, it allows the person behind you to access your belongings more easily than you can. In a world where 96% of us commute alone, and many of us travel and live surrounded by people we don't know, that design causes unnecessary worry.
Simplicity + balance
I wanted to find the simplest solution to this problem for the urban user – me and you. I've seen padlocks on zips, nets that cover your whole bag and are padlocked too, people wearing rucksacks on their front, wearing handbags under jackets or even trousers inside out so the pockets aren't accessible!
I felt each of these gets the balance between security and access wrong. Other people can't access your stuff easily, but then neither can you! It takes too long to unlock padlocks. The rucksack on your front isn't a bad solution(!), but it gets in your way, encourages poor posture and isn't comfortable for women with average or larger bra size – a real variable to consider if you're making a unisex RiutBag.
My solution
The RiutBag. I've revolved the rucksack around the user to mean when you're wearing it, standing in queues, crushed up against fellow travellers on the bus or metro that there's no easy way for anyone else to get in. You have to take your bag off your back to access it anyway so I felt this could be a reasonable way in. I revolved the body of the conventional rucksack to give us all peace of mind when we travel.
When I was in China a few weeks ago I took an early sample of the RiutBag with me everywhere. I was on my own, jetlagged and a little stressed (to say the least) whilst I was there, but something was different: I didn't once have to consider whether my zips were undone, whether my passport and wallet were safe or whether the person behind me seemed trustworthy. I focussed on what I was there to do, rather than keeping a watchful eye on my belongings. It was quite a different travelling experience - I can't wait to hear how it impacts your daily commute, weekend break or annual holiday, for example.
Bigger picture to consider
Our world continues to head for greater urbanisation on a global scale. That means more of the good and more of the bad of urbanisation is coming our way. Good: increased cultural exchange, higher economic activity, greater variety from which to choose; hopefully increased innovation and potential for change, if we view change as good. Bad: higher density living and related crime, population increase, greater gap between the rich and poor who cannot adapt, increased homelessness as a consequence.
RiutBag is here to help us adapt a little to increasing urbanisation by keeping us stress-free in our exciting, densely packed cities now and in the future. In the coming years, I want to keep focussing on the positive and negatives of urbanisation for us – real people – living in and around cities.
That's my bigger picture. I come at those big problems from the perspective of the user. Things that help us individually but collectively have an impact too.
Wishing you a revolutionary 2015!
I'd love to hear from you when your RiutBag arrives to see what real users think! I'll work out a good system for you to give me feedback they way you want: it might be Skype sessions, meeting in person in groups, surveys to fill out online, or you could just throw your feedback onFacebook.com/riutbag or twitter.com/_riut
When you start using your RiutBag, my intention is that you free up some thinking time on your commute or travels, because you're feeling calmer and less worried about your belongings. As a consequence you should have a little more time to get great stuff done: invent something new, finish that book, read more, listen to music without interruption, feel happier or just let you rest on your commute so you're in better shape at work or at home.
Have a Revolution in user thinking in 2015, dear backers! Thanks for your enthusiasm, support and constructive criticism to help the RiutBag get this far.

It was too good to be true, wasn't it? Hot on the heels of the announcement that HTC Hero owners would finally get the Android 2.1 upgrade, comes the news that actually, Heros locked to an network will have to wait 'a little bit' longer.
According to Pocket-Lint, operator 3 says their 2.1 update will arrive over the air in mid-to-late July and T-Mobile says 'a few days'. Unlucky Orange Hero owners however, will have to be content with the non-specific 'in the very near future.
Meanwhile, HTC has announced that Android 2.2 - or Froyo - will be available for its Desire, Legend and Wildfire handsets in Q3. But no doubt locked handsets will have to wait that much longer.

Ice queen beauty
Let's be honest - even adults are obsessed with Disney's Frozen and harbour a secret desire to look like ice queen Elsa. You might draw the line at belting out Let It Go, but we bet you'll be on board with trying some of these icy cool looks over the festive season.
The ice queen look is ALL about the eyes. Stick to cool shades like silver, white and frosty blue, particularly ones with a little shimmer to them. We like the collection from Artistry, available via Amway, with the 4 pan eye shadow palette including shades Glacier, Eclipse, Starry Night and Capri - as magical as they sound!
Start by applying a primer to your lids, then blend two of your favourite frosty colours - a matte looks particularly good as a base, with an iridescent shade on top.
Rather than using a black eyeliner on your water line, try a white or silver. This opens up your eye far more and will add to the wintry feel. Finish off with lashings of black mascara.
If you want to go full ice queen, it's time to get savvy with strobing. A little like highlighting, this make-up trend is all about making the most of your favourite features. It's best achieved via liquid and cream powder, creating a glowing effect on cheekbones, browbones and any other areas you want to emphasise. Benefit's Girl Meet Pearl highlighter works perfectly for this.
Go easy on the powder when creating your base, as you want the look to be dewy and mysteriously shimmery. You can mattify any areas that really need it if you suffer from oily skin, but avoid covering your whole face.
If you're feeling really brave, why not try a lipstick with a blue-ish tint? Rihanna and Jourdan Dunn have rocked this look in the past and you can get inspired with versions from brand including NYX and MAC. This look works best on olive or black skin.
If you have pale skin, try a pearlescent pink. This still gives that touch of frost but won't wash out your complexion.

It was a grand night at Eros Cinema last night when megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Dhanush, Akshara Haasan, Gauri Shinde and R. Balki unveiled the first trailer of their upcoming film 'Shamitabh'
The film seems to have created certain history of sorts by releasing a audio trailer first, followed by the film's first song piddly, way before the release of it's trailer. Not just that, the film also brings together the iconic pair of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha together.
While there were speculations regarding this, when asked Big B about it, he clarified, "We don't actually come together. It is a part of the sequence and when you see the film, you will understand how it is portrayed. But yes it's a great welcome to have such luminaries in the film."
He added further, "Balki keeps saying he wants to design a film with Rekhan and me but let's see if somebody comes up with an interesting script, then why not?!"
Well, going with Senior Bachchan's answer, it seems we all will have to wait some more to see the iconic pair together again on-screen!
Directed by R. Balki and produced by Eros International, Gauri Shinde and Abhishek Bachchan, 'Shamitabh' releases on February 6, 2015.

text: Amazon has introduced an update to its iOS app, which is now version 1.2.8 and with one notable addition - barcode scanning.So what does that mean in practice? Well, according to Pocket Lint, it offers another way of searching the Amazon database. Just line up the lines on your screen with the barcode and the app should, in practice, give you a list of products matching it. A bit of price comparison possibly, should you be in the high street and wondering if it's cheaper online. At least, with Amazon anyway.Downside? Well, being hands-on with it this morning, it seems happier to work with some items than others and isn't instantaneous. Saying that, there might be a knack to getting it just right straight away. We hope so. If it isn't, we'll be back to good old fashioned searching.But on the plus side, the app is free and comes with the added bonus of being able to do most of your Christmas shopping from your phone in the pub.

Global DNA Analysis in the Government Sector Market 2015-2019
Overview of the global DNA analysis market The adoption of mobile applications for DNA analysis is a key trend in the global DNA analysis market.

Has Warren Buffett lost his sense of market timing?
Read Article...
New India Assurance has coughed up Rs1 lakh as penalty for not replying to a client for seven months and ignoring the insurance regulator for a couple of months. Surprisingly, the complaint was not a valid one
It may sound strange, but the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) may grant you justice just because you had to wait forever to get a response from an insurance company.
Hemendra Mehta had asked for refund of mediclaim premium for the period he was staying abroad. The regular mediclaim is not valid outside India (in some cases, it is allowed in Nepal), but most insurers will not give refund for the period an insured person spends abroad. Some including New India Assurance, allow extension of policy term to compensate for the period spent abroad.
It was clear that New India Assurance did not owe any refund to the policyholder. However, due to some misunderstanding, the insurer did respond by email stating that refund can be considered for the period of stay outside India during the policy period. New India Assurance had inadvertently not mentioned the requirement of an Overseas Mediclaim Policy to be issued by the company (to be able to get a refund on regular mediclaim policy).
Realising the error, New India Assurance's divisional manager (DM) stopped communication with the policyholder's request to get a refund. IRDA stepped in after no response was received by the policyholder from New India Assurance for four months. The insurer's head office also ignored IRDA's letter for a couple of months.
Finally, New India Assurance caved in and refunded the policyholder, stating that it has taken a 'generous view' on the matter and gave the refund as a 'special case without precedence'. New India Assurance had also requested IRDA to condone the delay in replying to the insurance regulator's communication.
Not amused with New India Assurance's delayed response, IRDA slapped a penalty of Rs1 lakh. This is because the insurer had taken more than seven months to redress the complaint of Mr Mehta and more than two months to respond to the letter of the Authority's Grievance Cell.
M Ramadoss, chairman and managing director, New India Assurance Co Ltd, told Moneylife, "I went through the papers and found that our DM had not replied to the client for seven months and our head office also did not reply to IRDA for a couple of months and hence the penalty. The deficiency is related to delay in reply. While we are taking action on the DM, we are also representing to IRDA."
While we certainly appreciate IRDA's tough stance on lack of response from the insurer, some Moneylife readers have written to us about IRDA taking a couple of months to look at their complaints. Moreover, the Insurance Ombudsman (Mumbai) takes more than six months to give an appointment in some cases. Ahmedabad has not had an Insurance Ombudsman for more than nine months and there is a backlog of cases pending with them. The customers demand justice here too.
The Consumer Education & Research Centre (CERC), a leading non-profit, consumer rights organisation, has asked IRDA to fill up the nine-month old vacancy for an Insurance Ombudsman at Ahmedabad.
Volumes may be still low compared to metropolitan cities, but higher yields, especially in home and two-wheeler loans, is making business more profitable in these places
The prospects for corporate lenders in the retail sector are brighter today in tier-2 cities like Lucknow, Ludhiana, Indore, Visakhapatnam and Madurai, which are witnessing a surge in demand especially for auto and housing loans.
These cities may not have the kind of numbers that the metropolitan cities have, but higher yields on growing numbers has made business as profitable as in the big cities for these lenders recently, according to report by CRISIL Research on "Retail loan products: Opportunities and risks beyond the metros and mini-metros."
"Stronger growth prospects, lesser competition, higher yields and profitability comparable to the larger cities make tier-2 cities an extremely attractive proposition for financiers," says Prasad Koparkar, head of industry and customised research at CRISIL.
The yield to financiers is slightly higher in tier-2 cities, especially in the case of housing loans and two-wheeler loans. It is important however, that credit quality is tightly monitored. The report also considered car loans, gold loans and loans against property.
Of course, there would be a difference in the growth prospects and asset quality; so picking the right markets will be critical to profitability. The report covers ten other tier-2 cities— Kanpur, Bhopal, Jaipur, Rajkot, Nagpur, Nashik, Mysore, Kozhikode, Coimbatore and Thiruvananthapuram.
"Contrary to popular perception, not all tier-2 markets fare poorly in respect of asset quality. In eight out of the 15 cities studied, the level of non-performing assets compares favourably with the all-India average for all five retail loan products," says Ajay Srinivasan, head of industry research at CRISIL.
Car loan disbursements in 10 of the 15 markets are expected to grow at about 20% CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) over the next couple of years. This is higher than the 13% CAGR estimated for larger cities. In seven of these tier-2 cities, loan against property (LAP) disbursements are expected to grow faster than the rest of the country. Gold loans are expected to grow more than 50% annually in five non-southern cities, according to the report.

VATICAN CITY (AP) Pope Benedict XVI is meeting with artists, actors and musicians in the splendor of the Sistine Chapel to renew the Catholic church's friendship with the world of art.
He says the beauty of the frescoed Sistine Chapel made it the perfect place to meet with artists.
The participants in the meeting Saturday included painters, sculptors, dancers, musicians, actors and film directors.
Benedict told them that the church's "friendship must be continually promoted."
