HP Ups Support Services for Enterprise Customers
Vendor's new proactive, predictive service model gains customers a single point of contact for multi-vendor, converged and cloud environments
March 19, 2012
D.H. Kass: More stories by this author:
Hewlett-Packard Co. said that its Technology Services unit will offer proactive, predictive support for enterprise customers' multi-vendor, converged and cloud environments through a team of dedicated IT personnel armed with prior knowledge about the client and its technology.
The vendor said that newly trained support staff under the Always On Support Services banner will remotely monitor some 1,600 diagnostic data points supplied by its ProActive Insight Architecture and automation tools embedded into its new ProLiant Gen8 servers, the goal of which is to stay one step ahead of customers' IT-related problems.
This architecture ultimately will be integrated into HP's full Converged Infrastructure lineup, the company said.
HP said that it is not keeping the new support service for itself—it also has authorized its ServiceOne channel partners to deliver the same.
In contending that the traditional, break/fix support model is outdated, largely ineffective for modern, IT environments and doesn't preempt costly downtime events, an HP official said that the vendor's new framework allows IT departments to shift resources toward innovation.
"The traditional reactive IT support model is no longer effective," said Antonio Neri, HP Technology Services senior vice president and general manager.
"The industry needs to change the way it delivers support to offer proactive solutions and customized service offerings and HP is leading that charge," he said.
The Always On Support Services presents three options. With HP Foundation Care, a single point of contact supports the customer's hardware and software backed by independent software vendor (ISV) input when needed, to eliminate what the vendor calls "finger pointing" typically associated with break/fix support models.
Proactive Care, a second service option, aims to address clients' problems before they occur through immediate, direct access to an HP expert already knowledgeable of the customer's IT environment, the goal of which is to minimize downtown and maximize performance.
A third offering, called HP Datacenter Care, is customizable based on the customer's IT environment. Through HP tools and predictive analytics, services provided include call handling, proactive and reactive support and relationship management. Clients are supplied with a dedicated HP support contact.
HP said that the Always On Support Services supplement its Lifecycle Event Services, which offers HP's involvement on strategy, design, implementation and education services for the duration of an IT project.
"Legacy support models are becoming less relevant," Addy said. "It is time for a complete overhaul of support practices," he said. "The use of predictive and proactive prevention based methodologies is now highly desirable."

Featuring TREALITY® Products
Our Markets
Flight Simulation
TREALITY provides a wide-range of simulation display systems for the flight training market. The industry's best technology dome displays and collimated displays provide realistic and immersive training experiences for effective pilot training. TREALITY's portfolio of displays is used to train: commercial airline and helicopter pilots and military trainer, fast-jet, transport-jets and helicopter pilots. Smear-free, realistic daytime, nighttime, dusk and night-vision goggle scenes are displayed onto either front-projection or rear-projection screens depending on the customer's requirements. TREALITY's display systems and projectors carry the highest levels of industry certification including FAA Level D certification on our collimated displays.
Maritime Simulation
High contrast, bright and high-resolution imagery is important for maritime simulation displays. TREALITY's display systems provide the required visual quality for naval ship, submarine, hover-craft, ferry, tug, port-crane, ship-bridge and other maritime simulators. Both front-projection and rear-projection displays are available and provide realistic maritime scenes with various night, day, and weather conditions.
Ground-Based Simulation
Ground-based simulation includes: driving, mining, train, subway, firearm, dismounted infantry, forward observer and a host of other training systems. Typical requirements for these types of displays are fast update-rate, high-resolution, compact size, deployable and seamless multi-channel imagery. TREALITY's display technology not only offers all these features but also has a number of innovations available like large field-of-view roll-up spherical screens and quick and easy setup and operation in remote locations.
Air Traffic Control Simulation
With air traffic ever increasing, the demand for real-life air traffic control (ATC) training systems continuously grows. TREALITY's display systems offer the needed fidelity to accurately simulate real-world runway and airport area scenes. High-contrast displays provide the needed image quality for night, day, and various weather conditions. When solid-state illuminated projectors are used, the display system becomes virtually maintenance-free due to the extremely long life of the light source.
Increasingly, planetariums are using projection technology to replace or complement the traditional star balls, thereby significantly reducing the running cost and providing the ability to combine traditional high resolution night sky imagery with educational show content. Modern digital planetariums require realistic projection of night sky images with very deep black levels and high resolution imagery. TREALITY provides both installations for new planetariums as well as upgrades to existing planetariums' visual systems. Its visual systems use multiple high contrast projectors and profession system tools to create realistic and uniform imagery on a large spherical screen, both in 2D or 3D.
A Complete Range of Services
TREALITY offers a complete range of products and services for the simulation market. This includes projectors, but also an auto-alignment suite of software and hardware products, projection screens, display management systems and mechanical structures. All TREALITY systems are designed with SimCAD, a custom real-time ray tracing software program specifically developed for simulation. SimCAD allows TREALITY engineers to optimize the system configuration, calculate critical performance parameters, and accurately predict final system performance. SimCAD can also export setup information to the projectors, which shortens field installation time and prevents costly problems during integration and testing

I know its late but I had to show you! Over christmas I was invited by Sharon from Codema to come down to the Dublin Corporation and show them some ideas for a sustainable christmas. The Girls from Codema were an absolute delight to work with, when I arrived they had tree set up with some great christmas ideas. I got to play for a little while showing them how to wrap presents in newspapers, how to make orange and clove decorations and also some paper flower ideas with Verena.
It was a great morning and there was plenty of requests from staff to do some more workshops so hopefully the girls can arrange it in the future! You can see more great shots from the day here
Thanks Again to Sharon for asking me and Verena & Paula for their help (and coffee!)

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is channelling?
Channelling is a form of communication between two energies where one (a human) is the receiver or a conduit for the information, and the other (an invisible being) is the sender; it is a method of receiving messages from an external invisible source.
Channelling can be likened to tuning into a particular vibration in the same way that you tune into a radio station. When a person channels, they are plugging into a particular energy frequency in order to connect to a specific intelligent source. This frequency may connect the channeller to information from light beings, a discarnate soul, beings from the angelic realm, ascended masters, spirit guides, even aliens[1].
It can take many forms including automatic writing, telepathy, clairvoyance but the most common form is verbal. Well-known modern channellers include Lee Carroll, Geoffrey Hoppe and Neale Donald Walsh although many pre-date these over the centuries, eg Nostradamus.
See Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Channelling for more details.
[1] This definition is adapted from the article What is Channelling by Tracie Delysia Wolter, first published in 2015 in International Psychics Directory.
2. Jesus Books
a. Why tell these stories now?
We asked and Jesus told us:
'My reason is the current state of the world. The current state of your world is, in a nutshell, a big mess. I would like to hope that by offering this and being very clear that my single message was "love thy neighbour" with all the ways that could be interpreted and enacted, this could come through as a beacon, a shining light for your world to pick up on today.
'I want my story to be a means of explaining what my message truly was. I went forth and spoke my message of "love thy neighbour"'. If there is transparency and there is respect and honour and regard for humans, including their differences, then why isn't there peace? As I see it, it is that simple.'
b. Are the stories really true?
We asked for confirmation and Jesus gave us this extra material:
'My Bethlehem, where I was born and my father worked, was just up the road a few kilometres these days from where Nazareth was then and still is today. If you go north-west-ish for some 10 km or so you will find this village and the archaeological digs that were started some years ago.'
Have a look at: http://www.religioustolerance.org/xmaswwjb.htm and http://archive.archaeology.org/0511/abstracts/jesus.html
3. Other Similar Books
Explosive in its time, the first modern book to provide researched evidence about Jesus' life was Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln, New York, 1982. (It has been updated and republished many times since). Jesus' comment on this book was:
'The three gentlemen who researched this book were very, very hot on the trail of the truth. They have written subsequent books which are also worthy that follow up later research and are also too close to the truth.'
Other books includes (in no particular order):
- The Jesus Papers, Michael Baigent, London, 2006
- Bloodline of the Holy Grail, Laurence Gardner, Shaftesbury, England, 1996
- Inside the Priory of Sion, Robert Howells, London, 2011
- The Passover Plot, Hugh J. Schonfield, Great Britain, 1965, USA, 2005
- The Gospel of Jesus' Wife, 2012, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Jesus'_Wife

The Celibate Rifles : Heaven On A Stick 1992 Flac & MP3
Playing stripped-down, loud, and fast Ramones-inspired guitar rock, the Celibate Rifles were one of the earliest Australian punk bands to emerge during the post-Radio Birdman/Saints era.
Taking their cues from these Aussie bands, along with the American hard rock of the Stooges, MC5, and Blue Oyster Cult, the Rifles were led by the twin-guitar attack of Kent Steedman and Dave Morris and the deadpan baritone of vocalist Damien Lovelock.
They exploded out of the gates in 1982 with a series of records (released in Australia only) fueled by high-speed guitars, wah-wah-strangulated solos, and cartoonish, tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
As they continued recording and maturing, the Rifles were unafraid to take risks with their tried-and-true loud-and-fast sound. Soon, acoustic guitars entered the mix, tempos slowed, pianos tinkled in the background, and vocal harmonies were added. None of this increased technical skill and studio experimentation diluted the band's strengths
in fact, it may well have made the Rifles a better and more interesting band. Another development was the increased politicization and social consciousness of their material. No longer were they simply sarcastic funny boys. Rather, they were addressing serious political, environmental, and social issues, thanks to Lovelock's sharp, insightful lyrics, all without any condescension or simplistic rhetoric.

A cascading series of problems with a datacentre consolidation project at web hosting company NaviSite left about 165,000 websites offline last week, with some of the sites remaining unreachable for six or more days.
The problems began on 3 November, when NaviSite tried to shift processing done on 850 servers at a datacentre in Baltimore to its headquarters in Andover, Mass. NaviSite acquired the Baltimore facility in August, when it bought Alabanza, another hosting vendor.
Rathin Sinha, NaviSite's chief marketing officer, said the company decided to move 200 of the 850 servers to Andover and migrate the data from the rest of the systems to new machines at the Massachusetts datacentre.
NaviSite told affected customers that their sites would be down for less than a day. But Sinha said that when the company attempted to transfer the data from the 650 servers still in Baltimore, it encountered synchronisation failures that kept mushrooming.
Company officials then decided to transfer another 200 servers to Andover to help reduce the scope of the virtual migration and speed up the data transfers.
But NaviSite ran into more problems. As the host servers finally started coming up, URLs didn't work, and customers were able to access their websites only by using the underlying IP addresses, Sinha said.
Then, he added, NaviSite's network became overloaded because of all the customers trying to get online, further exacerbating the situation.
On Thursday, NaviSite said that 90 percent of the websites were back online. The next morning, the company said it was "down to a final set of [trouble] tickets."
But the length of the outages prompted some NaviSite clients to vow in forum postings that they would switch to other hosting vendors once they could retrieve their data.
Others threatened class-action lawsuits, and New York-based law firm Wolf Popper LLP confirmed that it was looking into possible legal action after being contacted by NaviSite clients.
Cynthia Brumfield, president of Washington-based Emerging Media Dynamics, wrote in a blog posting that the datacentre consolidation was "poorly planned" and had "slipped from mere incompetence to outrageous indifference" to the needs of companies like hers.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reports that the nationwide EAS test, conducted in September 2016, was a success, though it revealed "shortfalls" in some state-level EAS plans and other areas that could be improved.
FCC public safety officials note that improvements made to EAS after the first nationwide test five years ago, plus the implementation of a new online reporting system, "appear to have significantly improved test performance over what was observed during the 2011 test."
The Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau identified several areas where the Commission could take steps to "potentially strengthen the EAS" and listed some examples, including:
Some EAS participants experienced poor quality audio and were not able to deliver the Spanish language alert because they received the test from an over-the-air broadcast source before their EAS equipment performed its regular check of the IPAWS internet feed, which typically occurs every 30 seconds. Requiring participants to check the internet-based IPAWS feed upon receiving a broadcast alert and transmit the corresponding CAP alert, if available, would ensure that the most timely and content-rich version of the alert is broadcast. This would be particularly important for time-sensitive alerts, such as earthquake early warnings, where seconds matter. The CAP alert would contain a clear digital audio file as well as any available text or audio files in languages other than English.
Some people with disabilities reported difficulty receiving or understanding alert text or audio. EAS tests can be made more accessible by applying the accessibility rules that already apply to live EAS alerts to EAS tests.
Some plans were difficult for EAS participants to locate, while others presented monitoring obligations and other information in a manner that EAS participants found difficult to implement. The FCC can take steps to further facilitate the centralization and standardization of plan information.
Some participants did not receive the alert because they did not properly configure or maintain their equipment. The FCC, in coordination with state emergency communications committees, state broadcast associations and other stakeholders, will use the test results to provide guidance to those EAS participants that experienced technical difficulties.The test included the first use of the FCC's new online EAS Test Reporting System. The staff said it will continue to analyze the results in conjunction with FEMA and said it is continuing to accept late-filed test results.
Some 85% of test participants successfully retransmitted the test alert; 69% reported no complications in receiving or retransmitting. "Many EAS participants reported that the test alert that they received featured the high quality audio from the CAP-based alert that FEMA distributed via IPAWS."
For the first time, 74 EAS participants retransmitted the IPAWS-generated Spanish language version of the alert. And reports from the commission's Public Safety Support Center proved effective for collecting feedback and should continue to be used for EAS tests.

In a unprecedented development, a CISF jawan was killed tonight and at least three others were injured in a clash between the CISF personnel and airport authority employees at Karipur International airport here.
A dispute over a CISF personnel who insisted that an official of the fire orce department of Airport Authority of India (AAI) undergo security clearance led to a verbal duel between the two and in the ensuing melee the jawan received gunshot injuries and was killed.
Confirming the death of the CISF personnel, Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala said ADGP (North) Shankar Reddy had rushed to the spot. The Malappuram Superintendent of Police has also reached the airport and has begun talks with the CISF personnel.
Chennithala said all flights to Kozhikode airport were being diverted to Kochi.
The DGP has been asked to send more forces to the airport, he said.
Sunny Thomas, the AAI fire officer, who was in uniform, was trying to enter the airport terminal when the CISF jawan insisted that he undergo a security check.
A verbal duel between the two led to situation worsening with the jawan receiving bullet wounds and succumbing to injuries.
Sunny Thomas was injured after he was reportedly beaten up by CISF personnel.
Meanwhile, over 100 CISF personnel were on the runway, police said.
Kozhikode MP, M K Raghavan said he had contacted Home Secretary L C Goyal and the civil aviation joint secretary, seeking urgent intervention of the Centre.
"It is a war like situation prevailing at the airport," he told PTI.
"There are no flight operations. Flights are unable to land," he said and described the situation as 'grave' and 'unprecedented'.
Meanwhile, Airport Authority Employees' Union (AAEU) claimed that excessive frisking by CISF staff led to clash.
"Though it (checking) is a routine, but today when AAI personnel were entering the airport, apart from normal frisking, they were even asked to open their lunch boxes, this led to some argument and then heated exchange of words," AAEU General Secretary B S Ahlawat told PTI in Delhi.
Alleging that the firing was aimed at AAI personnel, he said AAI personnel have not shut the airport operations rather they are saving themselves from CISF personnel who have in a way occupied the airport.
There are around 150 AAI staff posted at the airport, of which 40 are with airport fire service.
Sunny Thomas said he had come to the airport to take an injured colleague to hospital when he was attacked by CISF personnel.
"I was kicked, beaten up... they threatened to shoot," he told television channels.
There used to be minor skirmishes at the airport, he said.
Meanwhile, relatives of passengers who were to arrive at the airport said they had received information that their near and dear ones had reached Nedumbassery airport at Kochi, but were unaware when they would reach home.

eating: cherries, blueberries and despicable me fruit snacks. no joke, the despicable me fruit snacks are the best fruit snacks ever (thank you, tanya and robertson boys.) and this is not necessarily in the eating category, but i have been drinking a lot of cucumber water. i'm obsessed. it's a great for detox but i just love the taste of it. so much better than plain, boring water!
watching: not the World Cup. sorry. watching paint dry might be more exciting. (sorry to offend 75% of you all.) as i type, i'm currently re-watching When Harry Met Sally. old school Meg Ryan and Nora Ephron writing. sigh. i never get tired of it. and oh! got super giddy about season 4 of Pretty Little Liars on netflix. finally.

Suicide bomber who attacked CIA post in Afghanistan was trusted informant from Jordan
Tuesday, January 5, 2010
The suicide bomber who killed seven CIA operatives in Afghanistan last week was a Jordanian informant who lured intelligence officers into a trap by promising new information about al-Qaeda's top leadership, former U.S. government officials said Monday.
The attacker, a physician-turned-mole, had been recruited to infiltrate al-Qaeda's senior circles and had gained the trust of his CIA and Jordanian handlers with a stream of useful intelligence leads, according to two former senior officials briefed on the agency's internal investigation. His track record as an informant apparently allowed him to enter a key CIA post without a thorough search, the sources said.
The bomber, identified as Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, was standing just outside an agency building on the base Wednesday when he exploded a bomb hidden under his clothes, killing the seven Americans along with a Jordanian officer who had been assigned to work with him. Six CIA operatives were wounded.
The agency has declined to publicly identify the victims, a mix of career officers and contractors with backgrounds ranging from law enforcement to military Special Forces.
Details about the suicide bomber's identity provided jarring insight into how a vital intelligence post in eastern Afghanistan was penetrated in the deadliest attack on the CIA in more than 25 years. Initial reports suggested that the bomber was an Afghan soldier or perhaps a local informant who had been brought onto the base for debriefing.
Instead, the new evidence points to a carefully planned act of deception by a trusted operative from a country closely allied with the United States in the fight against al-Qaeda. U.S. and Jordanian officials had come to regard Balawi as trustworthy, former officials said, despite a history of support for Islamist extremism -- a point of view he appeared to endorse in an interview with an al-Qaeda-affiliated publication as recently as this past fall.
"He was someone who had already worked with us," said a former U.S. counterterrorism officer who discussed the ongoing investigation on the condition of anonymity. The official said Balawi had been jointly managed by U.S. and Jordanian agencies and had provided "actionable intelligence" over several weeks of undercover work along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
The CIA declined to comment on reports identifying Balawi as the bomber, first posted by al-Jazeera television on its Web site. A U.S. intelligence official said only that the agency is "looking closely at every aspect" of the attack on the facility known as Forward Operating Base Chapman, in the province of Khost near Afghanistan's border with Pakistan.
"The agency is determined to continue pursuing aggressive counterterrorism operations," the official said. "Last week's attack will be avenged. Some very bad people will eventually have a very bad day."
Al-Jazeera described Balawi as a 36-year-old physician from Zarqa, a Jordanian town that also was the home of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the slain leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq. It said Balawi had been recruited to help track down Ayman al-Zawahiri, the Egyptian physician and second in command of al-Qaeda, who U.S. intelligence officials believe is hiding in the lawless border region.
Balawi had a history of supporting jihadist causes and had been arrested in late 2007, according to SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors extremist Web sites. He was detained by Jordan's intelligence agency, which sought to turn him into an informant, the former government officials said.
Before his arrest, Balawi, who used the online name Abu Dujana al-Khorasani, was a well-known contributor to al-Hesbah, a once-prominent jihadist forum, according to SITE. He eventually became an administrator of the Web site.

"Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving until the right action arises by itself?" ~ Lao Tzu
I spent majority of my teen and young adult years waterskiing. My family spent many weekends and summer vacations waterskiing on the Colorado River. Most of my friends adventured to the river with us and learned to waterski behind my parent's boat. I enjoyed the sport so much that I even competed on the SDSU waterski team for a few semesters.
This right here is the smooth, glassy water slalom water-skiers love. Calm water is ideal for waterskiing.
As I was walking this morning I realized this is the "water" I desire for my life too. Smooth. Calm. Clear. I desire this because I know what it feels like to live in the white-capped, muddy, unclear turmoil of internal and external chaos.
Spanning the last eight years of completely transforming my life, one of the biggest shifts I've made for my wellbeing is my daily choice to cultivate calm, quiet, simple space for myself. It's in the quiet that I am able to hear Spirit's guidance, and be in the flow of receiving messages to share through my songs and books. It's in the quiet that I've become more patient and discerning. If it doesn't feel calm or it isn't clear, I wait. I know clarity will come. It always does.
But, I once was a person who couldn't stand alone time. I needed to be around people. I sought guidance externally and allowed the court of public opinion to shape my perception of myself. I now know I was avoiding my inner voice and I was absorbing way too much unnecessary, and often unhealthy, external noise and energy.
Ultimately, I was avoiding myself.
It's been in the comfort of quiet and becoming more patient that I've gained clarity to walk my path with honor and joyfully be okay simply being uniquely me.
I share this because my hope is for others to be okay simply being uniquely themselves too. I desire for others to choose patience and discernment with allowing life to settle into calm peaceful waters.

After everything the husband and I have been through in the passed few weeks, I can say we are definitely better people now. I don't know if I even know what that means.
Is it required to hit rock bottom before you can start to come up? I'd like to say that we've hit our rock bottom. I hope that it's true. Because to me, if this is the bottom, I have still hope that we'll come up for air. Together.
We never went to the party. We talked about it briefly. I apologized for being unfair in using the going away party as an excuse. It was the right thing to do (apologizing) and I'm not entirely certain it made the situation better or worse. He said that wasn't the reason he didn't want to go and followed it up with, "if you don't want to go, we won't go". I know in wifespeak that means, "suck it up sally, we're doin' this" but in husbandease does it really mean just that? Does he really mean it's up to me? I said I would go but I felt a little odd that we were invited to a family Christmas party, to which we are not family. He said we wouldn't be the only friends, but I still felt odd without the fact that the ex was going to be there.
Regardless we didn't go. The husband, in fact, lied to his friend about our plans and reason for not attending. I found this odd. Why didn't he just tell him the truth? We really were out of town staying with family and a few glasses of wine into the afternoon he decided no one was going any where. But I digress.
I feel as though we are communicating at a much better level. He is willing to hear me out when I have a concern. I am trying to respect his boundaries on when to discuss his day and when not. (He never wants to talk about work with me because he wants to relax at home, not rehash his every move.) I am trying to keep him involved with the kids and schedules as much as I can. I am trying to work around his time so he can be with us, doing fun stuff when I can.
I still feel like I'm giving more than he is. I still feel like I'm the one pouring on the gorilla glue to this relationship. But it feels different. Maybe because he acknowledged that he knows I've been the one trying? It's not like he isn't doing anything. He is including me more in his conversations about his life outside of the house. It sure is nice to know what city he's going to be traveling to or what case he's working on or if he hired a new person at his office. So maybe this little bit of inside knowledge is enough to pacify me. Whatever it is, it's working. It's enough to get me through the day. It's enough to make me want to try again.
I hope it lasts. I hope my separation plan becomes old and outdated and that no one cares.

"I like using trashy art, vintage photos and old book covers as canvases for my paintings. For example I pick up kitsch landscape paintings at flea markets, old, dusty and unwanted. The motifs may be sentimental and unoriginal, yet the painting techniques and styles can be really beautiful. Even though these old landscapes are nicely made and have their own beauty, to me they still lack something. So they become the framed backdrops of scenes to where I can add my characters and tell unwritten stories. I breathe new life into this art and in a way I'm paying tribute to the forgotten artist. I will admit that it's quite exciting to do the forbidden: to alter someone else's work in a very one-sided 'collaboration'. However my intention is not to provoke or offend in doing so. It could be seen as ruining the originals but, in my own head at least, I give them new meaning and make them even more beautiful.
Like a lot of pop surrealistic painting, my work is mostly character based. I'm working towards finding a naive, direct expression which anyone can absorb. I dislike elitist art and sterile galleries where visitors are made to feel diminished or ignorant. I want to make art that is directly accessible to anyone, regardless of background or age. To me, character art is just that. Just as graffiti does not have to be limited to the street, characters need not be limited to kids' products. Characters are a means of expression and can be used to deal with any issue, whether it's dark and complex, or sugary sweet."

diverse attorneys are receiving equitable
access and training to the opportunities that
will develop them professionally and help
them succeed at their firm.
What do these assessments look like?
There isn't one specific form that a substantive work assessment can take. A substantive
work assessment should be carefully tailored
to be relevant to your firm's structure, work
distribution practices, and size, among other
factors. Here are some considerations to take
into account when structuring your firm's
substantive work assessment.
What are we assessing? There are a few common disparities that legal organiza- tions should look into to answer the following non-exhaustive questions that may be applicable to your law firm or legal department: Do
diverse attorneys have access to clients and
matters that are important to the organization? Do diverse attorneys receive challenging
substantive work assignments comparable to
their non-diverse counterparts? Do diverse attorneys have the opportunity to participate in
development opportunities that are important
to their growth?
What should the assessment look like? Several factors should be taken into account when determin- ing the nature of a substantive assessment. In general, a law
firm or legal department may consider an
assessment ranging from an informal survey
to a formal audit.
What is it an informal survey and when is iteffective? An informal survey is a straightfor-ward assessment type that is underused bylegal organizations given the ease of adminis-tration and the negligible cost to conduct thesurvey. An informal survey may be sufficientwhen the legal organization is seeking ageneral idea on whether an inequity existsbetween the substantive work experiences ofdiverse and non-diverse attorneys and whenno formal complaints of discrimination orinequity have been filed or asserted.
Examples of use. An informal survey
given to a business development professional in a law firm may be an effective way,
for instance, to determine whether diverse
attorneys included on pitches or responses
to requests for proposals as a marketing tool
are actually engaged in any earned representations. Requesting attorneys to provide the
names of the top five clients they billed to
and comparing that to the enterprise or blue
chip clients in a particular practice area or
department is a back of the envelope way to
gain insight on whether diverse associates
have equitable access to premier clients.
What is a formal audit and when is it effective?
A formal substantive work audit is an assessment commissioned to be executed either
by the legal organization itself or an external
consultant to determine whether significant
or preliminarily proven bias exists between
the substantive work experiences of diverse
attorneys or to investigate a formal complaint of discrimination or inequity has been
filed or asserted. Formal audits can vary in
length and subject matter, but they tend to be
carried out in a more methodical and verified
manner than an informal survey.
Examples of use. A formal audit may be
appropriate when the legal organization is
the subject of a lawsuit by diverse attorneys
asserting bias. It may also be appropriate in
myriad non-litigious circumstances. For instance, if a legal organization wants to determine whether diverse attorneys have access
to substantive developmental assignments
similar to non-diverse attorneys, such as leading conference calls with clients, proposing
strategy and legal arguments, writing briefs
and being a named attorney on that brief, or
being given the opportunity to depose witnesses or craft interrogatories. A formal audit
may also be appropriate when there is a concern about a particular partner or managing
attorney not using available diverse attorneys
equitably, and in that case, it may be make
sense to limit the assessment to the distribution of assignments by that person.
A formal audit may also
be appropriate when

a particular partner or
managing attorney not
using available diverse
attorneys equitably,
and in that case, it
may be make sense to

There's something very freeing about de-cluttering. As you get rid of the things you don't need, you start to realize that your stuff is not all that important.
I've mentioned before that I've been trying to rid myself of at least one thing a day, and it's been surprisingly easy. I've gotten rid of a ton of clothing that I don't miss at all.
But there's one category that I still have a little trouble with, and that's the stuff I've made with my own two hands.
Is it because this stuff actually is important? Or is it something else?
I've tried to dig a little deeper and think about why this is. Here's what I've come up with.
Why getting rid of handmades is so hard
- It feels like failure. Admitting that you don't need something you made is admitting that you made a mistake. Of course, the same could be said of something you buy, but it feels much less personal.
- I am attached. I grow attached to the things I make, even if they aren't useful. They still feel special.
- It feels wasteful. Often, I will still be in love with the fabric I used, even if I no longer love the garment. Saying goodbye makes me feel like I wasted the fabric.
I'm not saying these reasons are logical, just that they are there, buried deep in my brain.
There are a few things I've noticed that make getting rid of these precious projects a little easier.
Dumping the baggage
- Documentation. First, if I've photographed it and wrote about it on the blog, I find it easier to part with. It seems odd, but I feel like it's been documented and loved and will continue to exist in some form in the world. I learned from making it and can move on.
Transitioning. Second, putting it aside for a while helps. I can pack it away into a temporary holding area before getting rid of it. Once it's out of my sight for a while, I know I can say goodbye. If not, I can still hold onto it as a keepsake.
Last chance. Third, I can try giving it one more shot. If I wear it one last time and don't feel beautiful and comfortable in it, it's time to go.
Do you have any tricks for making it easier to part with your precious handmade garments?

Life is the striving for perfection in creativity – a pursuit that turns all activities, from the simplest to the most complex, into art. Everything humans create, all human fabrication, all that is not natural i.e. not found in nature but is the product of human hands and minds, constitutes art. And we take artistic pride in the creation of even the most practical objects that serve our daily needs – in baking the perfect loaf of bread, for example. But creative acts that contribute to the requirements of daily living, being practical, are differentiated from creative acts that cater to mental and spiritual needs. Everyday creativity is art; specialized creativity that is inspirational, is Art.
And Art – Music, Dance, Painting, Sculpture, Poetry, Novels, Playwriting, Acting, etc. – is not simply intuitive creation of beautiful things; it also represents conscious reflection on life. Though the Arts are not seen as essential services (especially by governments), they are, nevertheless, essential to the maintenance and the progress of a community. Abstracted from everyday living, the Arts are symbolic activities that examine our belief systems. They keep us striving for perfection in presenting the best and worst in human nature through the benign vehicle of entertainment (or, as in the visual arts, appreciation). The Arts offer a safe domain in which to examine the volatility of human nature.
Artistic creativity, in common with all forms of creativity, requires freedom from convention – the only freedom possible in society. And in a no-man's land in which dichotomies of right and wrong, good and evil do not apply, that is where creativity burgeons. The only real freedom is in the creative act and it is euphoric; it leads to innovation which in turn leads to change. Though change is feared as it requires breaking out of habitual ways of thinking and believing – and embracing the unconventional, once accepted, however, it becomes the new convention. As conventions are forms of restraint, they invite restructuring. Thus the human search for freedom that underpins creativity, that makes possible continuous expansion of human understanding is, in Alvin Toffler's terms, a wave-like progression.
The Mirror to Nature
Theatre, which brings all Art forms together in its storytelling, holds the mirror up to human nature and allows us to examine the human condition from an objective point of view. As a metaphorical representation of our striving for perfection, theatre shows good overcoming evil, humans overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles, people confronting complex moral choices. It often shows us the achievement of perfection in the happy ending. In W.S. Gilbert's words, "I'm really very sorry for you all, but it's an unjust world, and virtue is triumphant only in theatrical performances." (The Mikado) But seeing this triumph portrayed, stimulates us to reach for it in real life. Theatre, therefore, though an imitation of life, in presenting heroic achievements, encourages life to imitate art. And the distinction between Art and life is blurred as life and Art become mirror images, in a hall of mirrors.
In its many forms – stage performances, radio, film, television, DVD – theatre has become an essential part of our lives and impacts powerfully on our ability to make sense of human existence.
Supreme man of the theatre, Shakespeare, working with the facts of the stories on which his plays are based and embellishing fact with the inventions of his mind, repeatedly confronts us with the factitious nature of both human existence and theatre. The creation of life on stage imitates the human creation of civilization and its exploration of the nature of being.
In Hamlet, Shakespeare presents his general view of theatre. Hamlet, as playwright, warns actors against overacting; they have to perform with energy but without exaggerated gestures, facial and vocal expressions. Overacting makes performance insincere, unbelievable, points to its fictitious nature and detracts from the play's purpose of revealing to people the truths of their actions and their influence on the times in which they live.
This is Hamlet, the director, creating a believable performance that will not detract from the message he is sending to the audience, in particular to Claudius. This intention is wrapped up in the notion of theatre as the mirror to human nature and its function to enlighten us about human existence.
But Shakespeare goes beyond the understanding of theatre as a means of providing insight into the meaning of community. We may infer from his many metaphors of life as theatre, that the act of creating life on the stage led him to contemplation of its similarities to the act of creation of life in the world.
In As You Like It: the character, Jaques, describes the stages of a human life as roles played by an actor.
Is this a metaphor of the world as a stage or is it a declaration of the metaphoric nature of human existence in the world?
In, The Tempest, Prospero, having presented a theatrical vision, a magic show (the baseless fabric, this insubstantial pageant) which has vanished into thin air, declares that the world (the great globe) is also ephemeral.
"We are such stuff as dreams are made on" i.e. we ourselves are insubstantial so what we take as real is not; it is also a dream. Life, therefore, is as much a performance as a stage play. Life and theatre are almost interchangeable. Life is a play and theatre – a play within a play.
This is Macbeth's despair at the ruin he has made of his life. He now sees life as artificial (a human creation). In his references to life as a 'shadow' and a 'tale,' the world as a 'stage', he presents the reality of life as a performance and sees it as meaningless – 'a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury.' He is blind to the fact that it is a tale that he has made of his life. He has been under the illusion that supernatural powers (the witches) were structuring his life. His blindness forces us to see we that we each shape our own destiny so we must take responsibility for what we make of our lives. Just as an actor shapes his role, so we shape our lives. The idiot who tells the tale of one's life, is oneself.
The freedom to create, the essence of being human, is taken a step further in the following quote:
And here we have a reversal of the notion of art imitating life. In being able to act 'outside the jurisdiction of Fate' makes it possible for theatre to investigate new ways of thinking, doing and being. As in Science Fiction.
Being simultaneously conscious reflection on, as well as an expression of, human creativity, Art has a dual nature and this duality is made most obvious in theatre. Being the re-creation of life with real people in roles, a theatrical performance is the word made flesh.
And this brings us to Antonin Artaud and his understanding of theatre as reality not imitation.
Antonin Artaud
In his book, The Theatre and its Double, Antonin Artaud rejects the idea of Theatre as a mirror to nature – its reduction of theatre from Art to a form of therapy.
And for Artaud, the expression of truth is not primarily through the word. Artaud advocates the reduction of the use of spoken language in theatre in order to give access to vital, instinctual understanding. For him, language, the carrier of conventional meaning, is a mask, the mask of civilization, with which we cover over the reality of existence. And language in plays, is that mask; it hides from us the reality of the human condition.
For Artaud, the performance is not complete unless it awakens in the audience the awareness of the truth that is hidden under social convention. So the audience cannot be a passive, separate entity — merely observers. The audience must be made part of the performance; it has to be placed in the midst of the performance, surrounded by the actors who do not act before it but upon it. Theatre then becomes true theatre, the Theatre of Cruelty; "cruelty" means setting off images "that shake the organism to its foundations and leave an ineffaceable scar."
So for Artaud, theatre becomes a kind of religious ritual in which good is abstracted from entrapment in prevailing evil. This seems to be acceptance of finite, though mystical, meaning in existence. It is different from Shakespeare's view of theatre which reflects the human search for finiteness in the meaning of existence.
In the Theatre of Cruelty, audience involvement has to be not only with the actors but with all elements of the performance and in particular with the mise en scene. For Artaud the mise en scene – sets, lighting, movement of actors, costumes, i.e. the physical presentation of the performance – is more effective in shaking the audience out of an artificial and perfunctory existence than the spoken word. Artaud deplores the fact that the mise en scene is seen only as context for the spoken word when it is more than mere accompaniment; when it is the purveyor of an intuitive understanding of reality that words cannot express.ÂÂ
For Artaud, the suppression of words, allows the theatre experience to become an epiphany; makes possible intuitive understanding of the reality of existence. Without excessive dependence on words, theatre becomes a mystical experience and is returned to the realm of the religious.
In his Theatre of the Oppressed, Augusto Boal takes the idea of bringing the audience into the performance further than Artaud. But he brings the audience in as conscious not intuitive beings as in the Theatre of Cruelty. The audience at a Boal-type theatre event is encouraged to make suggestions that change the course of events and to enter the performances to act out their understandings of and solutions to problems. Audiences are not allowed to be passive observers of performance; they have to become active creators of performance –i.e. playwrights and actors – working alongside the professional troupe to objectify the reality of their existence. In the Theatre of the Oppressed entertainment gives way to examination of real conditions; to exploration of ways to challenge existing states of affairs and bring about change. In the Theatre of the Oppressed life and Art are one.
In Berthold Brecht's Theatre of Alienation (Epic Theatre), life and art are deliberately kept separate. So the stage has to be seen as a stage with lighting instruments and props, not a natural environment. This is to prevent the audience from empathising with performers and performance. Keeping the audience conscious of being separate, allows it to remain critically aware. In the presentation of theatrical images that disturb and outrage, audiences must see and acknowledge the horror and cruelty of oppression – the reality that is hidden under facades. The audience must be shocked into awareness of the necessity for change.
In Brecht's Epic Theatre, alienation is the mirror in which the distorted images that we have made of life are reflected. It presents the necessity for change and depends on the objectivity of the audience to see that. In the Theatre of Cruelty, the performance has to evoke intuitive (mystical) understanding and it can only happen in the theatre; for Brecht and for Boal (the Theatre of the Oppressed), the performance has to raise consciousness in order to effect change outside the theatre – in the community.
Though Artaud gave theatre a real boost, especially in terms of its presentation – as was demonstrated in Peter Brook's circus theatre production of A Midsummer Nights' Dream – theatre maintains the division between performance and audience and continues to hold the mirror up to nature through its ability to entertain. But why is entertainment necessary? It is the means by which the meanings of the Arts are given objectivity. Entertainment or delight allows us to experience Art as outside of ourselves and in enjoying them, we are not coerced by the understandings of reality that they present; we are free to use our own judgment.
In Artaud's Theatre of Cruelty (aptly named, I think), the audience would not have that freedom of choice because Artaud wishes it to be subjectively involved in the performance – in a ritual that eliminates entertainment.
But having evolved from religious ritual, theatre is no longer confined by it. Its ability to entertain is what freed it from ritual, freed it from conformity, freed it to explore the human condition. Having a narcissistic interest in ourselves, it is the reflection of ourselves that we find most interesting and entertaining; that draws us to the theatre and to movies.
Theatre entertainment takes many forms -- from the highly spiritual and intellectual to the most nonsensical and ridiculous. All cater to the diversity of human experience. But for some, excessive dependence on the entertainment aspect of theatre diminishes it as Art.
There is a suggestion here that entertainment is separate from Art. But the entertainment aspect of Art is essential not only to our enjoyment but also to our appreciation and understanding. What we experience in the theatre is not simply the performance, it is also the medium itself in all its aspects – the script, the direction, the acting, music, dance, and the mise en scene. The medium is an expression of the essence of being human; it is the presentation, for all to see, hear and appreciate, of human creativity and endeavour. And our delight is as much in the creativity of the presentation as in the performance. The Art of the theatre, as all Art, is the affirmation of being human.

Next to my Patanjali toothpaste and Truly's natural deodorant, on the side of the sink not cluttered with raw honey, a neti pot, organic cold pressed coconut oil and my favourite serums, lies a bunch of fancy-shmancy beauty products that I got from VanityCask, a periodic beauty box. They're the good stuff, the stuff your face craves to have on, so for the sake of your skin read on.Review- VanityCask
What is VanityCask?
VanityCask is a beauty box that gets delivered to your doorstep periodically. It contains large samples (each sample lasts about 7 applications – enough for you to figure whether your skin wants more of it or not) of luxury beauty brands, handpicked by experts, to suit and cater to Indians. Review- VanityCask
What's in it? Review- VanityCask
The box I got, a skincare-devoted box, contained 5 sample size (much larger than the average sample size stuff) products from international brands such as Clinique, Vichy, Votre, Kama Ayurveda and Thalgo. It also contained a booklet with details on how to use the products in the box + Rs. 3000 worth of vouchers.
Why do you need this in your life? Review- VanityCask
We all know that most luxury products provide better and more effective beauty solutions than other brands. But the challenge is, it costs too damn much to keep experimenting until you find the right product that actually works for YOU. I'm pretty sure none of us want to spend all that money on a full-size luxury product and then have it turn out to be absolute crap, or not worth the money, or a product that breaks you out in a rash. Sometimes online reviews just don't cut it, because different products react differently on each of our skin. The only way to arrive at the right solution is to keep sampling and see what products suit you the best. Enter VanityCask, the solution to that hole in your beauty pocket.
Why do you need this on your face? Review- VanityCask
Let's take a moment to talk about VanityCask's partner brands and why our faces are probably craving this stuff.
Clinique is known for their hypoallergenic approach to skincare and have created some of the most respected and iconic must-have products till date. Some of you might know that I am allergic to nail polish, deodorant (which is why I use lemons as deodorant) and perfume, but fortunately Clinique's nail polish doesn't break me out or a cause a major itch. So yes, Clinique has earned my trust, which is why I was excited to try their 'scrub cream' as it's called.
What it does:
It's supposed to deflake and refine all skin types, open clogged pores, minimize the appearance of fine lines and prep the face for smoother makeup application.
How to use:
Apply it morning and night on makeup-free skin. Massage in circular motions using your fingertips for about 15 seconds. Rinse and gently pat dry.
Don't forget:
To scrub your lips and use facial tissue to pat dry your skin. If you want to know why I prefer tissue to towels, ask me in the comments section.
My thoughts:
A good product that does what it says.
Would I buy the full size version?
Probably not. I've tried better, like this Origins GinZing Refreshing Scrub Cleanser I'm obsessed with.
- Kama Ayurveda Rejuvenating & Brightening Ayurvedic Night Cream: Review- VanityCask
Kama Ayurveda is a holistic beauty and wellness Indian brand, that uses only real, pure, high-quality, organic ingredients. I love most of their products, except their body oils (I think their body oils are their only product not comparable to Forest Essentials').
What it does:
It's meant to brighten, promote cell growth, reduce dark circles and pigmentation, which results in illuminated skin. It makes for the perfect night treatment for youthful, natural and radiant skin.
How to use:
Apply it at night over a cleansed face and neck.
Don't forget:
To massage in the cream using upward strokes to prevent your skin from sagging.
My thoughts:
I love this stuff though my boyfriend thinks it leaves a very strong 'natural(y)' smell.
Would I buy the full size version?
I already have.
A leading skincare brand from France that is inspired by marine life and harnesses the riches of the sea for aesthetic use
What it does: Review- VanityCask
This mask is meant to plump up the skin, drench it in vital water and offer immediate, optimum hydration and a healthy-glow effect in just 10 minutes.
How to use:
Apply it directly with a brush (I just use my hands, they're better and more accessible) in a thin layer over the face and neck. Leave it on for 10 minutes and wipe off whatever hasn't been absorbed with a cotton pad. You don't need to rinse it off with water.
Don't forget:
To apply it before a special event for glowing, radiant skin.
My thoughts:
The product worked really well and definitely plumped up my skin. What I didn't like was that this particular sample was quite small. I only got 2 applications.
Would I buy the full size version?
No, simply because it's not really needed for my skin type. I would definitely recommend it for those with dry skin, more mature skin and those who live in colder (and drier) climates.
- Votre Absolute Hydration Moisturizer: Review- VanityCask
India's patented bio-cosmetic brand that offers 100% botanical, vegan and cruelty free products. Votre's products are developed in association with Ace laboratories in France and Tokyo and incorporate highly innovative, patented, active molecules imported from the US, Europe and Japan (Basically, it's clinically tested, dermatologically approved fancy stuff).
What it does:
This rich, yet lightweight lotion, revives dry and dehydrated skin. It leaves skin super hydrated and soft.
How to use:
Apply it day and night over a cleansed face and neck.
Don't forget:
To massage in the cream using your fingertips.
My thoughts:
I really liked their super clean and nourishing ingredients (my favorite pastime is reading labels) and this stuff smells so good- not too sweet or overly scented, which is what I like. It's too thick for me to use during the day considering Chennai's humidity levels, but I really liked it as a night cream.
Would I buy the full size version?
Yes, definitely. I'm travelling abroad this December, and I think this would make for the perfect day and night cream for those colder climates.
- Vichy's Capital Soleil Sun Protection: Review- VanityCask
A premium skincare brand from France, that has been celebrated since 1931 for their therapeutic and restorative thermal spring water that they add to all their products.
What it does:
A hypoallergenic SPF 50+ formula that provides heavy duty sun protection, while being paraben-free.
How to use:
Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure until thoroughly absorbed. If swimming or sweating, reapply immediately after towel drying.
Don't forget:
To reapply every 2 hours.
My thoughts:
I really liked their formula, it doesn't leave the skin feeling sticky which I find is the biggest issue with most sun protection creams. It absorbs right in and leaves the skin with a soft sheen.
Would I buy the full size version?
Yes, soon. I personally don't use SPF on a daily basis (sue me) for reasons we shall discuss at another time (if you really really want to know why, ask me in the comments section), but I shall definitely stock up before my next big sunbathe+margaritas vacay.
My version of a SWOT analysis (because I miss college):
- Strengths:
- Test a variety of luxury beauty products at a fraction of the original cost.
- Access to cult-status international luxury brands that are not the easiest to find in India
- Figure out what works for you and what doesn't before shelling out the big bucks.
- Get updated with all the latest beauty trends and newest products on the market.
- Products come in a cute pouch that you can reuse (I'm using mine to store jewellery).
- Release new box categories periodically. Next up is a Haircare box and Bath & Body box.
- Weaknesses: Review- VanityCask
- All weaknesses can be made opportunities. Read on.
- Opportunities:
- Get cooler and more relevant vouchers, especially if it's being advertised as a sales lure.
- Enter your hair/skin type to get samples that target each consumer's customised preferences.
- Threats:
- As a consumer, I don't see any. I'm sticking with VanityCask.
How do you get your hands on a box? Review- VanityCask
Rush to www.vanitycask.com. Click on GET THE BOX. Enter in all the required information. They ship it out. You pay on delivery of the box.
How much does it cost? Review- VanityCask
Rs 999/- per box gets you products worth a lot more and Rs. 3000 worth of vouchers.
Is it worth the money? Seriously? Review- VanityCask
If you're really going to think about this, then think of it like this… Buy yourself one less glass of wine this Saturday night, that will leave you with enough to spend on a VanityCask box. So yes, it is worth it. Don't question pampering yourself, you deserve it. Review: VanityCask
