As it is Super Bowl week this week in Indianapolis, we, and by we I mean me, will be taking a look at the offenses and defenses of both teams. This time, we are looking at the defense of the New England Patriots.
Points allowed per game: 21.4 (15th)
Yards allowed per game: 411.1 (31st)
Passing yards allowed per game: 293.9 (31st)
Rushing yards allowed per game: 117.1 (17th)
The Patriots are known for mixing up schemes on defense and after years of playing in a base 3-4, they went to a 4-3 this season and while the defense statistically speaking sucked, the pass rush was pretty solid and helped revived the career of Mark Anderson, who had ten sacks this season, and helped Andre Carter rebound after struggling in a 3-4. Unfortunately for the Patriots, Carter will not be playing in the game on Sunday so there will be a lot of pressure on the rest of the unit, particularly Anderson and Rob Ninkovich to apply pressure on Eli Manning. Maybe Shaun Ellis can do something?
Vince Wilfork is the meat and potatoes of this defense. He clogs all holes up the middle and ties up blockers so that the linebackers can free roam to find the ballcarrier. He is also very nimble for his size.
The linebackers of this club are solid with Jerod Mayo being the clear star of the unit. He has developed into the leader of this defense and always has been able to find the football. Brandon Spikes is inconsistent in the middle but his play has been very good of late. The aforementioned Ninkovich is a solid pass rusher off the edge.
The clear weakness of this defense is in the secondary, where they have gotten shelled all season. It's gotten so bad that reserve wideout Julian Edelman has gotten serious minutes as a nickelback, and if he is forced to cover Mario Manningham one-on-one he will get crushed. This secondary will have to step up big time against a very talented receiving corps of New York.

This is a brief essay that I published in a Canadian publication (National Post) in a series related to individuals stories about gaining or losing faith.
Faith Lost . . . But I didn't notice.
I have been an atheist for much longer than I actually realized. I grew up Roman Catholic near Chicago, Illinois, USA. It never really "stuck" though. I never thought the communion wafer or the wine were anything more than (something like) a rice cake and bad wine. I always felt that the body and blood of Christ was a poor metaphor. I now understand that some really really buy into the transubstantiation thing but, back in the day, I would have been incredulous if someone told me they really believed it. Anyway . . . I grew up a good kid, but only went to church because I was told to. Once I was into my teens, I basically stopped going and haven't been back for the last 30 years (except for weddings and funerals). The Roman Catholic dogma very much stigmatized atheism and likened non-believers to have serpents crawling out of their mouths. I knew that I was just as moral as everyone around me, but church just didn't work for me. I figured that I would live my life as though it was immaterial whether God existed or not. If I was a good person but didn't go to church, I figured God wouldn't get too ticked off when I met him.
This lasted about 20 years. Then I had a child. My mother, who had become more faithful over the years, was mortified that her grandson was not going to be baptized. She then started delivering bibles for me to read. I took the cue and decided to analyze my faith . . . after all; I wouldn't want to deprive my son of valid spiritual background. It didn't turn out like she had hoped. Understand that I am an engineer and very analytical. I couldn't just read one biased document to make a judgment on faith. I had to look at all sides and weight all the facts. Religion didn't stand a chance.
Still . . . it was a private matter. If faith helped some people, gives meaning to their lives, provides comfort then that is fine for them. Just because I wasn't religious, doesn't mean other people shouldn't be religious if that worked for them. This started to change over the years as I saw dramatic Christian right influence shaping public policy. Another transformative period was 9/11. I soon realized that it wasn't radical Islam, it wasn't Islam, it was religion that changed our world that day. It was the perversions of the (purportedly) holy texts that created so much hatred and intolerance. We are fortunate to have a secular government so religious zeal is reigned in. If we became a Christian theocracy, I feel we would be indistinguishable from the Islamic theocracies. I got more and more uneasy with so many people making decisions based on mythology. But still, it was a private matter. I never challenged anyone . . . but I wanted to.
After reading a magazine article that referenced Richard Dawkins "The GOD Delusion", I picked up a copy and it changed my life. I don't necessarily agree with everything that Dr. Dawkins says or the tactics he suggests, but his basic premises are dead-on. Those premises are 1) Religion should not be immune from criticism, 2) Religion, while there are positive aspects, is a source of intolerance, subjugation, and worse, 3) Religion does not hold up to even cursory intellectual analysis, and 4) the failings of religion needs to be communicated loudly and clearly and publicly and repeatedly. Upon completion, I formally self-identified myself as an atheist . . . and it was liberating. No serpents slithered out of my mouth. No demons erupted from beneath my flesh. I still loved my neighbors and was still the same caring person that I have always tried to be.
I have since consumed a good deal of scholarly research on the matters such as the origin of ethics, the origins of religion, and separation of church and state. In addition, I have read more personal, impassioned writings both in support and opposition of religion. At present, I am a struggling activist trying to find the best way to use my energies to serve humanity by trying to communicate the failings of religion. Do I want religion to disappear? Well . . . that would work for me, but probably not for a lot of people. I just want enough doubt about God so that, before someone chops the head off someone else in the name of religion, they might think twice.

Hong Kong trainer John Moore cited the luck of the draw after he lifted his second consecutive Singapore Airlines International Cup trophy with Dan Excel while last year's winner and overwhelming favourite Military Attack had to settle for third on Sunday night.
Despite his chequered form since his dominant Singapore win last year, most experts had made Military Attack the Australian trainer's front-runner in this year's renewal of the $3 million International Group 1 race over 2000m, ahead of his runner-up that night, Dan Excel, but it was the latter, the perennial bridesmaid who turned the tables on him to earn the thicker end of the prizemoney in an emotionally-charged victory.
Moore, a regular visitor at the SIA Cup meeting over the years, was over the moon he had become the second trainer after Herman Brown (Jay Peg in 2008 and Gitano Hernando in 2011) to bag two SIA Cups, incidentally fuelling further the rapid rise of Hong Kong on the world racing scene. One race earlier in the KrisFlyer International Sprint (1200m), Lucky Nine had scored back-to-back wins in the sprint sister race for his Sha Tin colleague Caspar Fownes, making it the second year in a row that the former British colony hogs both events.
Jockey Tommy Berry salutes the Kranji crowd as he captures the SIA Cup aboard Dan Excel.
But the 64-year-old Moore was putting the reverse of the result most had expected of his two runners down to their contrasting barrier draws.
"Dan Excel was always the underdog, the bridesmaid, but he drew the right gate. He had barrier No 1 and he just enjoyed a ground-saving run on the rails throughout," said Moore.
"Military Attack had to be used very early to get across from his wide draw and he was not the same at the finish.
"Had he drawn a gate from 1 to 3, I think he would have finished a lot closer. It was still a great run considering he was drawn wide and they broke the record."
Ridden by Tommy Berry, Dan Excel hugged the rails in third throughout the race, while Japanese flyer Tokei Halo (Hirofumi Shii) bolted off to a commanding lead coming into the backstraight despite jumping from an outside alley (nine). Coming from even further out in No 10 but not blessed with the same gate speed, Military Attack (Joao Moreira) had to work in the early stages of the race to try and get some cover in midfield, but ended up travelling one off in sixth.
Singapore challenger Wild Geese (A'Isisuhairi Kasim) did the bullocking work by leading the charge of the chasing pack, but was already shortening strides by the 800m, leaving the Moore pair of Military Attack and Dan Excel to put an indent on the leader's margin, though Tokei Halo seemed to be holding sway with plenty of resolve at the head of affairs.
Owner David Philip Boehm, trainer John Moore and jockey Tommy Berry celebrate their SIA Cup triumph.
But once Berry released the handbrakes, it was soon evident who was putting in the bigger bounds between the two Hong Kong raiders, sweeping past Tokei Halo with relative ease. Despite Moreira's urgings, Military Attack seemed to be flat-footed albeit he was slightly knocked off balance when Limario (Patrick Dobbs) veered sharply to the outside, while Dan Excel was instead powering away, unobstructed, with Berry even taking a look at the giant screen to make sure there was no last-minute surprise looming.
There was one and he was smoking hot! French runner Smoking Sun (Stephane Pasquier), who had all along dawdled at the rear while they rolled along up ahead, had circled out four wide before unleashing a blinding run from the 400m in a bid to give trainer Pascal Bary a second SIA Cup win after Gloria De Campeao in 2009, but he had left it too late.
Dan Excel ($29) was already out of reach as he kept surging ahead to cross the line first and in the process, shave 0.15 second off the record of Gloria De Campeao of 1min 59.22secs (1min 59.07secs), 1 ¾-length clear of a gallant Smoking Sun. Dan Excel, an Irish-bred six-year-old by Shamardal was also securing his second Group 1 success after he won the Champions Mile (1600m) at Sha Tin last year.
Military Attack, who was backed down to $9 favouritism, plugged on for third another 1 ½ lengths away, two lengths ahead of Tokei Halo.
English galloper Side Glance (Jaime Spencer) must also be credited with a good run after coming from last to finish fifth, 6 ½ lengths off the winner, but all honours to Dan Excel, Moore, Berry and the Hong Kong-based Australian owner David Boehm, who besides Dan Excel's second last year, also came up short four years ago when Happy Zero ran third to Green Birdie in the KrisFlyer.
"I'm really happy for Tommy as we all know he went through really difficult times in the last month or so with the passing of his brother Nathan," said Moore.
"Joao rides for the team, but Tommy also rides a lot for us. I'm also very delighted for the owner David Boehm as he really deserves an overseas Group 1 win with this horse."
A teary-eyed Berry had his late brother Nathan, who recently passed away from a rare brain condition after riding for two weeks in Singapore in March, uppermost in his thoughts as he stepped up for the post-race interviews, a place he last visited last November when he brilliantly won the Group 1 Longines Singapore Gold Cup (2200m) aboard Tropaios.
"This win here in Singapore is very important as this is where Nathan last rode and he really enjoyed himself here," said the young Australian jockey who is really stamping himself as a jockey of great occasions wherever he goes (besides Tropaios, he also boasts multiple Group 1 wins with Designs Of Rome in Hong Kong where he is currently licensed).
"There was a big butterfly that I saw in the mounting yard and he followed me on the way to the gates. Nathan was with me tonight.
"This horse is not so young anymore, but he always toughs it out and after his last run when he was caught four wide and still ran second to Variety Club in the Champions Mile, I told John he should go to Singapore, and he told me he was and I was riding him.
"I'm so thankful to John and the whole team for the opportunity. The race panned out beautifully from the inside draw for him and he really raced like a good horse.
"I just let him cruise to the lead at the top of the straight. It's a win I won't forget.
"Thank you to the Singapore Turf Club for giving me the opportunity to ride here and also for being so great to Nathan while he was here."
Among the beaten brigade, the mood was morose, though Bary was drawing some positives from Smoking Sun's late flourish, and had vowed to come back to Singapore.
"I'm happy and disappointed at the same time. It was a very good run, but it's always a let-down when you finish second," said the leading French trainer.
"He ran three wide and he ran on well. There are no excuses, but at least, we beat the favourite. We will be back."
The Japanese camp seemed pleased with Tokei Halo's fourth place, though one could sense a feeling of "what if" in their post-race reaction.
Said Shigehisa Tanabe, racing manager for the owner Nobuhiko Kimura: "He ran well. That is his style.
"But he was fighting on the bit. If he had settled better, I think he could have run better."
With that sixth win from 36 starts, Dan Excel has seen his bank swollen from a total of S$3.5 million to around S$5.1 million for Boehm.

Awww, of COURSE she deserves her own pool, I'll bet she even lets you use it now and then! I love her name (smile). I actually used to live in a village in Yorkshire, and a neighbour shared her house with a cousin of Cierra Bell's, one that always had a little red bow tied on her head. However, I am sure Ciera has far better manners than her cousin ever did, the little toe-rag once chased me almost a mile, biting my ankles all the way (I was only 9)!!
Oh, a little birdie told me it was your birthday the other day - many happy, belated returns. Hope it was a good one.

Well she's a terrier, are you going to tell her the pool isn't hers? Neither am I. You can't tell a terrier something like that. Also, you can't inform them that they are small because they will have you know that is not the case. You are just inordinately sized :-)
Had Scotties for ages, now I have a mutt who alleges to have Scottie somewhere in her makeup. Terriers of all description have nothing but my respect.
Here via Shrinky's, by the way. The photo caught my eye :-)

Thank you for the b-day wishes Shrinky! Sorry to hear about your ankle biting experience. Rest assured, Cierra Belle only likes to lick ankles, not bite them!
Thank you Midlife! She is a real joy.
LOL Solo. Too funny - that's because it's true!
Thank you Miss Tara!
Oh sorry about the Jules. Tell your little ones this size pool has a lot of disadvantages, including doggie swim toys floating out into the middle.
I do the dog paddle and Cierra does the backstroke Chewy :)
Hi Lilli! I know - summer flies by. I went for an evening dip tonight. It was really nice!
Hello Land of Shrimp! Thank you for stopping by. I love your perfect terrier description. It's right on!

"Smart object" is a kind of "child" file embedded in its "parent" document.
in the Layers palette you can recognize a smart object by special symbol on its thumbnail.
Why use smart objects? Well, the first reason is, that they can be transformed non-destructively (more about).
And even more important reason is smart filters. Imagine, that you can apply several filters to a text and then edit its contents without starting all over again.
On the other hand, the main shortcoming of the smart objects is that you can't edit it with regular tools. For instance, if you try to paint over a smart object with the Brush, PSE suggests "simplifying" layer.
You can find all the E+ functions for creating and handling smart objects in the Commands panel of the "Layers" dialog (screenshot).

|Trade and Investment
The thrust of the Government's policy directive is on:
Investment Procedures
Under the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre Act, 1994 (Act 478), investment projects in all sectors of the economy, other than the mining and petroleum sectors, can be established without prior approval of GIPC. Mining and petroleum sector projects have to be approved or licensed by the Minerals Commission and the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation, respectively. All investors intending to invest in Ghana should first register as business entities (limited liability company, partnership, sole proprietorship, etc.) with the Registrar-General's Department under the relevant laws.
Enterprises with foreign participation i.e, joint ventures and wholly foreign-owned enterprises, must complete application forms from the GIPC (Ghana Investment Promotion Centre) for the purposes of registering the actual minimum foreign capital requirement (as evidenced by bank transfers in the case of cash transfers) and customs entry forms for investment goods. GIPC has five working days to complete this formality if registration documents are received in good order. Wholly Ghanaian-owned enterprises do not need to register with GIPC since the minimum foreign capital requirement does not apply to such enterprises. All wholly Ghanaian-owned enterprises and enterprises with foreign participation seeking immigrant quota facilities in respect of expatriate personnel (expert) for their business should satisfy the relevant minimum capital requirements specified under section 30 of Act 478.
Enterprises seeking exemption from import duties and related charges should send invoices for clearance directly to CEPS, which will automatically clear all such investment capital goods and parts thereof as zero-rated (duty free) in their tariff code. A list of all such zero-rated investment capital goods and parts thereof is available at GIPC. In addition, all enterprises must deal directly with the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the enjoyment of tax incentives in relation to their investments. A list of such investment-related tax incentives is available at GIPC.
GIPC assists all enterprises in their dealings with government officials, providing advice as well as serving as a facilitator to ensure unimpeded establishment and operation of business in Ghana.

Where and when did you first have the idea to carve pearls?
I wanted to break the traditional idea of jewelry making. I did not want
to be restricted by rules and traditions, which restricts creativity. By
becoming an expert on traditional jewelry making, I wanted to utilize
that skill to create something that is unconventional. For example,
traditionally it is never ideal to carve pearls because it would ruin its
integrity. I always thought pearls looked unnatural when polished to
make them look smoother, to fix scars or scratches. Or when I tried to
carve cultured pearls, the core would always emerge, and I ruined the
pearls by peeling off the nacre. Even with knowing all these challenges,
I've always had this devilish thoughts of "carving pearls" in the back
of my mind. Around 2010, a friend gave me pearls that did not have
a core, so I started carving inward as much as I wanted, and the result
was absolutely stunning. I was so shocked by its beauty; however, I was
not sure if this could be sellable or even durable to wear, so I asked my
friend to wear it for a year. After one year, the skull looked even more
interesting with a weathered surface. Also, it did not break, thus I thought
this could be sellable! I've experimented with different type of materials
to carve out skulls (crystal, ivory, coral, precious stones,) but the ones I
carved out of pearls are by far the best in terms of the durability. I also
thought the contradiction between pristine pearls turning into these dark
objects seemed even more appealing. I now believe peals are born to be
carved into skulls, I would call them "Fairy Skulls. "I believe innovation
is an offspring of "outlaw" and "curiosity".
What is it about pearls as opposed to gems or other stones that drew you to them?
I am captivated by the unknown potential of pearls. Read more....

Andrew Jones, MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough, says he will back David Cameron's call for launching UK air strikes against Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria.
The prime minister made his case for military action during a debate in the Commons on Thursday, November 26, stating the move would 'make us safer'.
While there is no date set nor the certainity of a free Commons vote on Syria air strikes, Mr Jones was in doubt which side he would be taking given the chance.
"I have been following the situation closely. The reach of ISIL has grown and we have already seen what they are capable of," the Conservative MP said.
"They have brought down a plane in Egypt and committed horrific attacks in Paris. We have pushed them back in Iraq but we should be taking action to push them back further.
"The case that was put forward by Mr Cameron was wide-ranging, it was not just about military power. It was also about working with people in the region as well as humanitarian approaches.
"It was broadly quite welcomed by most MPs so my intention would be to support that. We should not be sitting by when we have the means to take it further so we should be joining other Western powers."
MPs were told by Mr Cameron that IS have already tried to attack Britain and that security could not just be outsourced to allies.
Labour is still split over its position to military action with leader Jerermy Corbyn questioning whether this would reduce and counter the threat.
Backbench Conservative MPs have already blocked one attempt to launch air strikes in Syria in 2013 but Mr Jones believes the same outcome would serve as a coup for IS.
He said: "We know a few don't back action but their reach is getting bigger and we know they are not trying to make a political point like other groups have done in the past.
"They just want to kill people. We know they want to have people over there go back into Western Europe, back into our own country to cause problems here.
"We need to fight back and that's why I support it. The impact of the Iraq War is one of the biggest influences on that reaction and there's still a hangover from that.
"It's obviously cast a large shadow over the region but it would be a weakness for us to stay in the wilderness over this."

*This is not a sponsored post
About 2 ½ weeks ago, I attended a two hour training seminar on a skincare line called, Mario Badescu, which has been around since 1967.
Over the past few years, I've seen various products from this line reviewed on certain blogs I read and they were always RAVE reviews with nothing but positive feedback. But in all honesty, even with all the raves, I never actually took the time to investigate and try them. That is, until now.
After the training, we were each given a box with 6 products (4 deluxe sizes and 2 sample sizes) of Mario Badescu's most popular and adaptable skin care items, all of which I tried consistently since the training so that I could get an accurate sense of how well they worked on my skin.
Yes, the packaging might not look fancy, but I assure you, the results are!
Have super weekend everyone!

In the aftermath of the Rehtaeh Parsons case, we are missing an important moment if we don't talk about resilience.
It is the absolutely essential emotional tool for survival that we can instil in our children. It is the tool we need as adults, above all others, to survive any challenge. (President Barack Obama grimly used the word "resilient" to describe the character of Boston after this week's bombings.)
The Parsons case has been officially reopened. Good. The wrenching story of the Nova Scotia teen who ended her life after trying — and failing — to cope with an alleged sexual assault and the cyber shaming that followed has fuelled both our desire for justice and our fears for our children.
There have been heartfelt cries about our "rape culture" as well as finger-pointing at the biggest baddest suspect: "Technology is killing our kids!" one Cole Harbour mom told the CBC.
Technology is indeed the perfect villain — huge, amorphous, relentless, it has transformed our culture into what sometimes seems like a pit of toxicity and hate. It has invaded our homes, tearing down walls and isolating family members from each other, even — especially — at their most vulnerable moments.
As a parent of twenty-something children, I am grateful that they just missed the Facebook era during the turbulent self-lacerating crucible of adolescence in which every awkward move could have been fodder for viral shame.
Bullying back then was bad enough. After one prolonged incident involving one of my children being bullied, the school social worker gave me the best advice I've heard about how to help my children.
When they tell you this was the worst day of their lives, she said, of course you show support and love, of course you listen to their pain. And of course you notify the school.
But then, she said, you ask them the big question: "What did you do to recover?"
I love that question. It is one I ask myself several times a week. It makes my own resilience a given, it assumes that yes, I did — or will — get off the mat.
There are a number of books that aim to help parents instil resilience in their kids. You can go the Martin Seligman route, the psychologist who spawned the science of happiness movement with his 1990s book The Optimistic Child, urging parents to "safeguard children against depression and build lifelong resilience."
His suggestions: tone down the fake self-esteem building ("good for you, this drawing is like Picasso!") which only creates more self- doubt; help your child place negative incidents in a larger picture of a mainly positive day or life; resist catastrophizing; boost their confidence in their own ability to solve problems.
You could also find inspiration in The Shelter of Each Other, American psychologist Mary Pipher's love letter to the family, in which she outlines how to fight a toxic social culture: eat together, have outdoor experiences, never give up trying to connect with your difficult kids.
The role of parents has "changed dramatically," wrote Pipher."Good parents used to introduce their children into the broader culture, now they try to protect their children from a broader culture."
Make no mistake. Today we are waging a war against hate, against vitriol, against shaming, against a Lord of the Flies ("kill the pig") ethos that permeates our tender surfaces every day.
I asked a child psychologist friend for tips on resilience. Certain "protective factors," he said, increase our kids' resilience: expressing our belief in their capacity to cope and overcome is key. So are a child's outside interests and competencies, so that any traumatic event is viewed as only part of the child and doesn't define her.
Every kid needs to draw from a "reservoir of self-worth" and they need an important adult to help them find it.
But the worst can still happen, he said, "Despite all the best efforts of loving and caring individuals in the teen's life, the teen slips through your fingers and in a tragic moment is irrevocably lost."
Rehtaeh was irrevocably lost. But this heart-stirring aftermath is telling us something significant. Of course we need to help tone down the hate.
But we also need to make resilience and recovery a given in our precious children's lives. Almost all of them will survive these incidents. It's time we remembered to tell them that.

It's always great to see Canada rank high in lists measuring happiness, prosperity, business opportunities, natural beauty and so many other factors that make our lives worth living. However, the rising prices of houses for sale in Canada may have gotten some of us wondering if we aren't the country with the most expensive property market.
The reality is, we aren't. According to an article which appeared recently in the British newspaper The Telegraph, Canada has the third most expensive housing market in the world in terms of price vs. income, coming after New Zealand and Belgium. In terms of prices vs. rent, it comes second, after New Zealand. What's more, several other countries in the Commonwealth and Europe also experience high property prices — Australia, Norway and the UK.
The graph below, based on data coming from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD), shows in which countries home buyers are paying too much (red circles), just about right (yellow circles) and where the market provides the most bargains (green circles).
How were the indexes calculated?
In calculating the indexes you see in each circle, the OECD compared house prices to rents (first index) and wages (second index), then those values against the long-term average, set at 100. The extent to which the values are above or below 100 shows by much the markets are overvalued or undervalued, respectively. The third index, in percentages, shows the annual rise of house prices in real terms.
While Canada doesn't head the list of the most expensive real estate markets, when looking at city rankings, however, we find Vancouver sitting right at the top of the list of most expensive cities in North America, with the average home price at a stunning $733,335, around $50,000 more than the US's most expensive city, San Francisco. Oh, Canada!

Technology and the internet continue to be a boon for businesses, providing increased productivity, communication across vast distances and a high return on investment while reducing expenses. However, as useful as these innovations like tablets, smartphones, and cloud computing are to businesses, they ideally present increased security concerns. Scammers, hackers and identity thieves are always out there trying whatever they can to attack your business. That being said, it's important to ensure your IT systems are secure with the following tips.
Physical Security
When we think of IT systems security, most people do not consider the physical security of their equipment. Is the room or building secured with burglar and smoke alarms? Are the computers secured to the desks or are all portable gadgets hidden from sight when not in use? Can individuals walk in and out without frisking?
If you wish to connect to the internet from a public hotspot in order to access your business network, always check whether it's a trusted network or through a trustworthy supplier.
Strong Passwords
In this day and age, this may seem obvious, but most of the cyber attacks out there are usually a result of weak passwords. Access to all IT systems as well as sensitive data should be protected by unique usernames and passwords alike. You should use strong passwords with a combination of lowercase and uppercase characters, symbols as well as numbers. This will help you defend your business network from hackers who are constantly trying to gain access to networks protected by commonly used passwords.
It's also advisable to use different passwords for different sites. Password management software like LastPass is excellent for this as you do not need to remember all of them. For further security, implement security questions protocols. This will give hackers a hard time when it comes to unauthorized password recovery.
Good Practice Policies
All members of the staff should get induction into the security policies of the company when they join. It is advisable to have these policies in place:
1. An acceptable use policy for PCs and smartphones. It should ideally discuss the replacement for stolen or lost devices.
2. A password policy that requires everyone to keep their passwords out of sight, secure and a secret.
3. If the employees utilize their gadgets for work, then a Bring Your Own Device policy needs to be implemented. The policy should explain what they can do with their gadgets, what is allowed to be installed in them as well as the actions that need to be taken should the device get lost or stolen.
Managed Network Security
For the best possible security you can engage a company to provide a total network security service. They'll handle all of your security needs and provide support in the even of any issues.
Offline Backups
Cloud services are not always available and as a business, you need to be ready for this. Consider the data that you wish to store on the cloud and how its inaccessibility of that information may affect your company's ability to run.
Make a secure backup of the most important data, so that you can be able to access it even if there's cloud computing failure. However, do not store it on a USB and carry it around. Offline backup copies need to be kept in an external hard drive, encrypted and stored off-site.

Most of the coral reefs around the world have been damaged by fishing gears which sweep the ocean floor, such as dragnets and trawlers.
Yet another situation in which the countable and uncountable forms of a noun have slightly different meanings!
Gears (countable)
Take a look at this 'block' from a racing bicycle. It has ten 'sprockets' (a sprocket is a kind of gear).
In the engine of a car you will find something similar, but on a larger scale, of course. Drivers change gear, from first to second gear, and so on.
Gear (uncountable)
The uncountable form of gear is synonymous with equipment. For example take a look at this diagram showing fishing equipment.
Indeed, the various items of equipment shown in the diagram can be counted, but because there are so many different kinds in existence, we refer to them collectively either as equipment or gear. In fact if the kind of fishing you're talking about involves a fishing rod, then another synonym for gear that collocates strongly with fishing, is tackle – fishing tackle.
In our opening example, we need:
- Most of the coral reefs around the world have been damaged by fishing gear which sweeps the ocean floor, such as dragnets and trawlers.
This kind of fishing equipment is large and even industrial, and so we would probably not refer to it as fishing tackle. The appropriate term here is fishing gear (gear uncountable), which in this case comprises mostly large nets dragged through sea water by boats known as trawlers.
Further reading
If you found this useful, you might also be interested in investigating the difference between tool (countable) and equipment (uncountable)!

|indent style
|computing dictionary
<computer programming> The rules one uses to indent code in a readable fashion. There are four major C indent styles, described below; all have the aim of making it easier for the reader to visually track the scope of control constructs. The significant variable is the placement of "{" and "}" with respect to the statement(s) they enclose and to the guard or controlling statement ("if", "else", "for", "while", or "do") on the block, if any.
"K&R style" - Named after Kernighan & Ritchie, because the examples in K&R are formatted this way. Also called "kernel style" because the Unix kernel is written in it, and the "One True Brace Style" (abbreviation 1TBS) by its partisans. The basic indent shown here is eight spaces (or one tab) per level; four spaces are occasionally seen, but are much less common.
"Allman style" - named after Eric Allman, a Berkeley hacker who wrote a lot of the BSD utilities in it (it is sometimes called "BSD style"). Resembles normal indent style in Pascal and ALGOL. Basic indent per level shown here is eight spaces, but four spaces are just as common (especially in C++ code).
"Whitesmiths style" - popularised by the examples that came with Whitesmiths C, an early commercial C compiler. Basic indent per level shown here is eight spaces, but four spaces are occasionally seen.
"GNU style" - Used throughout GNU Emacs and the Free Software Foundation code, and just about nowhere else. Indents are always four spaces per level, with "{" and "}" halfway between the outer and inner indent levels.
Surveys have shown the Allman and Whitesmiths styles to be the most common, with about equal shares. K&R/1TBS used to be nearly universal, but is now much less common. The opening brace tends to get lost against the right parenthesis of the guard part in an "if" or "while", which is a Bad Thing. Defenders of 1TBS argue that any putative gain in readability is less important than their style's relative economy with vertical space, which enables one to see more code on one's screen at once. Doubtless these issues will continue to be the subject of holy wars.

AdLit.org is a national multimedia project offering information and resources to the parents and educators of struggling adolescent readers and writers. AdLit.org is an educational initiative of WETA, the flagship public television and radio station in the nation's capital, and is funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York and by the Ann B. and Thomas L. Friedman Family Foundation.
A video interview with
Avi was born in New York City in 1937. He grew up in a family of readers, writers, and artists. His twin sister, who gave him the nickname "Avi" at an early age, also became a writer.
Throughout his elementary and high school years, Avi's teachers complained that his writing was messy and careless. Avi would later find out that he had symptoms of dyslexia, which explained his poor spelling, letter reversals, and other "sloppy" work. After failing out of his first high school, Avi received special tutoring sessions one summer that inspired him to become a writer. Although Avi avoided English classes during college, he continued to read and write voraciously.
Avi originally wanted to become a Broadway playwright. But as he later acknowledged, "I spent a fair number of years writing a whole lot of bad plays." Avi discovered the world of children's writing only after he became a father. His first published book was a collection of stories he had invented for his oldest son.
For 25 years, Avi worked as a librarian - a career that supported both his family and his writing. Eventually, Avi's literary success enabled him to become a full-time author. After winning Newbery Honors for The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle and Nothing But the Truth, Avi won the 2003 Newbery Medal for Crispin: A Cross of Lead.
Although writing is his passion and his profession, Avi emphasizes that family still lies at the center of his life. Now both a father and a grandfather, Avi lives with his wife in Denver, Colorado.

Dark Fiber Makes a Comeback. Here's Why.
January 19, 2015 1 Comment
Wireless operators have quietly embarked on acquiring dark fiber – a trend that was picked up in 2013 and accelerated in 2014. Verizon is leading this activity and rolling out dark fiber to their cell site. But why specifically have carriers decided on dark fiber rather than continue lease capacity?
I think the answer has to be looked at from the perspective of long-term developments which matches the time-frame for leasing dark fiber which ranges between 10 to 20 years, and is typically closer to 20 years. Looking at that time-frame, we note that: Read more of this post

One of our Twitter followers, Stephen Fox, tweeted us something he felt might be discriminatory against people who stammer. Before entering a competition on Channel 5's The Gadget Show, Stephen read its terms and conditions online and was surprised to read that one term stated: 'Item 18: Where the winner is required to speak live on-air during any programme, there must be a clear and transmittable line between them and the programme, and they must appear to be able to communicate clearly and appropriately for the programme in question. Channel 5 reserves the right to select an alternative winner in the event that these requirements are not met.'
We wrote to Channel 5 asking them to clarify their position and received this response: "Having investigated, it would appear that the term you refer to in your letter is one that was inserted a number of years ago and has never been used. We are grateful to you for bringing the concerns of your members to our attention. We would never wish to act in a discriminatory manner and as our competition terms and conditions are under constant review, we will ensure that this particular term is removed in due course."
Thanks to Stephen for bringing this to our attention. At the time of writing the term was still on Channel 5's website, but we will keep an eye on it.

Lanka Kade make Fair Trade wooden toys. All the toys are designed in house in the UK, and made on a Fair Trade basis in Sri Lanka.
Lanka Kade translates as 'the Sri Lankan shop' and was set up in 1994 by husband and wife team Upul and Diane, with the aim of providing an outlet for items produced by small craft enterprises in Sri Lanka. As time went on Lanka Kade developed a product range of educational toys and gifts for young children utilising Diane's teaching and playwork background.
Their joint experiences of living and working in Sri Lanka made them determined to operate Lanka Kade with a fair trade approach.
All their products are handmade by seven family based enterprises with whom Lanka Kade has long term working commitments. New products are designed in the UK for each supplier to utilise their individual knowledge and skills. Their aim is to provide continual employment throughout the year for each supplier, their families and their employees.
Each business is independent and supplies direct to Lanka Kade. Lanka Kade does not use middlemen, nor does it pay commissions thus enabling the suppliers to receive a fair and full price for their products. They work closely together to maintain, improve, and update each supplier's working practice and understanding of fair trade. Lanka Kade is currently assisting three of their suppliers with long term interest free loans used for the development of their businesses.
In return, their suppliers are expected to maintain a safe and pleasant working environment, equal opportunities, good rates of pay, prompt payment for both employees and in country suppliers, and a quality product at a fair price.
Children are not involved at any stage of the production of items for Lanka Kade. Lanka Kade (UK) Ltd have been approved by BAFTS (British Association of Fair Trade Shops) since 2001 as a fair trade supplier.
Many of Lanka Kade's products are made from rubberwood sourced from exhausted rubber plantations that are replanted every 10 – 15 years. They use recycled products when available – the majority of their outer packing cartons are already once used and the packing materials are either shredded paper or materials supplied by local retail outlets from their own deliveries. Lanka Kade products and packaging are all PVC free and they strive to avoid the use of excessive packaging.

I'm thrilled to share that I was invited to be a guest on Ben Kruegar's Authority Engine podcast who features big name entrepreneurs/podcasters. But I was invited to speak to their community about Voice Production & Voice Care for the Podcaster http://authorityengine.com/sound-pro-on-air-kerri-ho/
This is obviously helpful to singers, as well as any of you Songbirds out there who use your voice primarily to earn a living in other ways, e.g. speaker, preacher, teacher, customer service, telemarketer etc.
