I love that it can lay flat to get under couches and such. I learned that it is gentle enough for fine rugs. I want one!ReplyDelete
I love that is has 2 speeds for different floor types, so I don't have to have to different vacuums. I also love that it can lay flat to go under furniture. I hate moving my furniture. juliebj at gmail dot comReplyDelete

I love the fact that it lays flat to get under furniture. Great feature. The lightweight is another bonus. I can't stand lugging a heavy vacuum all over the place.ReplyDelete

I am so beyond excited about this giveaway! I am somewhat of a vacuum fanatic myself! I was just vacuuming my house this morning thinking I need a new vacuum....but like you I don't just want any ol' vacuum! .....My favorite feature about the new Oreck Magnesium vacuum has got to be that it weighs 7.7lbs!!!! I learned that the HEPA inner bag captures at least 99.97% of particles as small as .3 microns from that air, such as pollen, dust, smoke, animal dander and mold spores! Amazing! Talk about making my house feel super clean!ReplyDelete
wow this vacuum sounds absolutely perfect!!! I love that it can pick up crumbs on hardwood floors. I love that it is lightweight. I love that it doesn't have hoses to get junky. I love it all and would love to win!! email@example.com
I'm not sure I can choose what I like best! 7lbs is AWESOME! Plus, being able to use it on all of the flooring (carpet, wood...) is really nice!ReplyDelete

I love the idea of being able to maneuver the vacuum easily. Also, being able to vacuum under low surfaces. This vacuum looks amazing!ReplyDelete

I LOVE the cord length, that is my biggest pet peeves with vacuums!ReplyDelete
I love the LONG cord... might be able to vacuum the whole house. I also love the HEPA bags and also that it has a 7 year warranty. We so need a new vacuum... ours is about to die and our handheld has died so we are on the look out for new vacuums.ReplyDelete
I LOVE the hard wood floor feature ... its one of those, 'Why didnt I think of that' moments! - the lightweight feature ... well, now I will have NO Excuse for not vacuuming my stairs. This could be good ... OR BAD.ReplyDelete
My fingers are crossed!!! (and my toes!)
I liked Oreck on FacebookReplyDelete
I also "liked" Oreck on facebook.ReplyDelete
The best feature for me would be the long cord! I am forever having to change outlets when I'm vacuuming because my cord is too short!ReplyDelete
Oh I need a new vacuum and this sounds awesome. I checked it out on their website and I like that it is lightweight (for my stairs) and that it can transition from carpet to hard flooring! Awesome! Would love to win this. :) Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
I love that you only have to pass over an area ONCE! My current vacuum cannot say the same.ReplyDelete
I love that it will fit under my furniture so I do not have to move it all around to get my floors clean!!ReplyDelete

I love the no crumb kick back! I have wood floors and that drives me crazy!!! What an awesome give away. P.S. My Hubby organized my pantry for my Christmas present and yours was the inspirations, thanks so much!ReplyDelete
Love the light weight, strong suction and HEPA bag!ReplyDelete
The handheld looks awesome! Long cord, 5ft slinky hose and the great straps to hold it!.. +way more.
I learned that the HEPA filter caputures A LOT of dirt and particles.. thats crazy! Its also one of their lightest (weight) vacuums.
GREAT features! Love it!
I'm entering to win an @Oreck Magnesium vacuum and Ultimate handheld vac -- I love the Lightweight & Easy To Use feature. I will give to my son for his new home. I've "lent" him my Oreck but I want it back!ReplyDelete

Holy Moly! I need a vacuum so bad! I've never heard of a vacuum being made out of magnesium before. And I love that it lays flat to get under all the furniture! AMAZING!ReplyDelete
Love the Oreck product line. Love that it's light weight. If I won the contest I'd give my son my older one and keep the newer one. He just purchased a home and needs a good Oreck.ReplyDelete

I like the HEPA inner filter feature. We get a lot of dust from DIYing and the fact we live on a farm in the county. It seems like everything is always dusty! I learned the HEPA filter will cut down on that.ReplyDelete
I love the fact that it has the no crumb kick back!! I hate that about the vacuum I have now!ReplyDelete
I actually like the Hepa Inner bag that is has. Our vacuum has one of those canister thingies, and I actually think it's kind of messy.ReplyDelete
I have had an Oreck for 8 years and love it! I liked checking out the Oreck Mangesium online- the feature I like most is that it can lay almost flat, which would allow me to get all those dust bunnies under the beds and cribs in our house. I also like that it has a 7 year warranty.ReplyDelete

What an awesome giveaway! I love that it is so light as well as the no crumb kickback! Those are two must have's in my book!ReplyDelete
OH...You have sold me on the vacuum. I have never had an oreck and really wish to have one. I love that I would be able to go from room to room (carpet or hardwood) without having to replug it in. I friended oreck!~ firstname.lastname@example.com

Ok...you crack me up!, but I also have the same weird things I want from my vacuum.. Especially the hard floor crumb kick back! Amazing. I would like to win this please, mama needs a brand new vacuum! I went to the sight and learned a ton, it weighing less than 8lbs definitely Impressed me. I also liked it on FB!ReplyDelete

The thing I love the most about new Oreck is that it's lightweight! I also read that the motor has so much speed that it felt like it self-propelled on many surfaces. Which is awesome. The vacuum we have doesn't stand up on it's own anymore (kiddo broke it), it's super heave and hard to push across carpet.ReplyDelete

No crumb kickback! Teens, pets and Christmas cleanup make this a very attractive feature!ReplyDelete
I liked the saniseal system that locks dirt in the bag. Nothing worse than having the dirt you just vacuumed up getting back out when you go to dispose of the bag. Plus, the hepa filtration is very important to me because my husband has a dust allergy. Thanks for hosting this giveaway. Oreck's rock!ReplyDelete

All my vacuums have been bulky and heavy with pieces falling off while I worked. : ( A lightweight, powerful upright and a handheld? Heavenly!ReplyDelete
I LOVE the 30ft cord! A long cord is a must for me. I hate having to stop in the middle of vacuuming to plug the cord in somewhere else. email@example.com

Just visited the site...and I LOVE that Quickswitch thingy that lets you go from carpet to hard flooring easily. Also...thought it was cool that it goes 7,000 RPM on high. :) Liked Oreck on facebook as well. I vacuum multiple times a week as well,and have YET to find a vacuum that really can make a girl happy!! :)ReplyDelete
I like that it lays flat to clean under furniture. I learned that it has a 3 yr warranty. That's quite a long time for an appliance!ReplyDelete

The feature I like the most is the no crumb "blowback." I'm an OCD vacuum-er like you and I can't stand having to use different tools for different floors.ReplyDelete
I also learned that it will lay flat to go under any surface. Love that!
Also, I tweeted about the giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity!ReplyDelete

I love how light it is. Awesome and a total MUST have!!ReplyDelete
The handheld vac would be a dream for me. I have tile & hardwood & constantly an bending, moving furniture to get to tight spaces!! Love!ReplyDelete
Wow!!! LOVE THIS!!! My husband and I still have the same vacuum we got when we got married almost 6 years ago. We have been vacuum shopping for the last two years and have never found the ONE. This vacuum fits every need we have. He would love the no kick-back feature and I love the light weight! LOVE YOUR BLOG and would love to win this! ~ Melissa, firstname.lastname@example.com

I love that it has a 7 year warranty! I've never heard of Oreck, so I guess that they exist is what I learned!ReplyDelete
I'm pretty excited about the fact that it is lightweight (good for the kids and a mom with rheumatoid arthritis). I didn't realize it could vacuum so fully unfolded to get under furniture. Cool!ReplyDelete
The 30ft cord for sure!!ReplyDelete
Love love love that it has different speeds and an extra long cord. Didn't realize that it can lay practically flat. Oh yes that would be so awesome! Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete

I love the no crumb kick back! I totally hate how my vacumn cleaner does that to me! I would be in heaven with this vacumn cleanerReplyDelete
I'm loving that it is so lightweight! Just bought a new house and moved from a 700 square foot apartment and we are getting used to having more space to clean! This thing would be so easy to move from upstairs to downstairs. And if it actually cleans with one pass as the description mentions, I'd actually have to re-teach myself how to vacumm :) I always go over spots a few times - probably because my vacuum is my age!ReplyDelete

We have a lot of allergies in our house, so I love that it has the HEPA filter! I also love that it glides from carpets to bare floors. We have both in our house and this would make cleaning a lot easier!ReplyDelete
I LOVE the fact that it is such a light weight vaccum with an extra long cord! Having to vacuum is such a chore for me without having to carry around extra weight and unplugging every couple of rooms! I am in love!!!ReplyDelete
I am now a twitter follower of Oreck.ReplyDelete
I LOVE the long cord and I especially love the idea of the two speed Quickswitch which I just learned about! I adore your blog :)ReplyDelete
I am really diggin the Quickswitch feature! It's hard to have a broom for hard floors and a vacuum for carpet...having 1 tool for 2 types of floors would be heaven! I also liked learning that it's self-propelled :)Thanks for the chance!!ReplyDelete
Love this! Glad that it works well on hardwood floors and love the long cord!ReplyDelete

I would absolutely love to win this giveaway! I grew up with an Oreck vacuum and have always loved them. My favorite feature about this vacuum is how lightweight it is. Because I have rheumatoid arthritis, vacuuming can be extremely difficult and I would love to win this vacuum to make vacuuming much easier. What I learned about this vacuum is that it creates 102 mph of airflow for some great power!ReplyDelete

Introduction to Travel Health & the Yellow Book
Travel Health
The number of people traveling internationally has continued to grow substantially in the past decade. According to the World Tourism Organization, there were 1.2 billion worldwide international tourist arrivals in 2015, an increase of 4% from 2013; 50 million more people spent a night at an international destination than in 2014. In 2015, US residents made more than 73 million trips with at least 1 night outside the United States. The importance of protecting the health of individual travelers, as well as safeguarding the health of the communities to which they return, cannot be overstated. International travel takes on many forms, including tourism, business, study abroad, research, visiting friends and relatives, ecotourism, adventure, medical tourism, mission work, and responding to international disasters. Travelers are as unique as their itineraries, covering all age ranges and having a variety of preexisting health concerns and conditions. The infectious disease risks that travelers face are dynamic—some travel destinations have become safer, while in other areas, new diseases have emerged and other diseases have reemerged.
The risk of becoming ill or injured during international travel depends on many factors, such as the region of the world visited, a traveler's age and health status, the length of the trip, and the diversity of planned activities. CDC provides international travel health information to address the range of health risks a traveler may face, with the aim of assisting travelers and clinicians to better understand the measures necessary to prevent illness and injury during international travel. This publication and the CDC Travelers' Health website (www.cdc.gov/travel) are 2 primary avenues of communicating CDC's travel health recommendations.
History and Roles of the Yellow Book
CDC Health Information for International Travel ("The Yellow Book") has been a trusted resource since 1967. Originally, it was a small pamphlet published to satisfy the International Sanitary Regulations' requirements and the International Health Regulations (IHR), adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1951 and 1969, respectively; the IHR were completely revised in 2005. The purpose of the IHR is to ensure maximum security against the international spread of diseases, with minimum interference with world travel and commerce. A copy of the current IHR and supporting information can be found on the WHO website (www.who.int/csr/ihr/en).
In addition to reporting public health events of international concern, the United States must also inform the public about health requirements for entering other countries, such as the necessity of being vaccinated against yellow fever. The Yellow Book and the CDC Travelers' Health website aim to communicate these requirements under the IHR (2005). Although this publication includes the most current available information at the time of printing, requirements can change. The CDC Travelers' Health website (www.cdc.gov/travel) may be checked for regularly updated information to ensure that requirements for international travel are known and met.
The Yellow Book is written primarily for clinicians, including physicians, nurses, and pharmacists. Others, such as people in the travel industry, multinational corporations, missionary and volunteer organizations, and individual travelers, can also find a wealth of information here.
This text is authored by subject-matter experts from within CDC and outside the agency. The guidelines presented in this book are evidence-based and supported by best practices. Internal text citations have not been included; however, a bibliography is included at the end of each section for those who would like to obtain more detailed information. The CDC Travelers' Health program and the CDC Foundation are pleased to partner with Oxford University Press, Inc., to publish the 2018 edition. In addition to the printed copy, a searchable, online version of the Yellow Book can be found on the CDC Travelers' Health website (www.cdc.gov/yellowbook).
Contact Information for CDC
Questions, comments, and suggestions for CDC Travelers' Health, including comments about this publication, may be made through the CDC-INFO contact center, toll-free at 800-CDC-INFO (800-232-4636) 8 am to 8 pm Eastern Time (Monday–Friday, closed on holidays) or by visiting www.cdc.gov/info to submit your question through an online form.
Pretravel or Post-travel Clinical Questions
Since CDC is not a medical facility, clinicians needing assistance with preparing patients for international travel should consider referral to a travel clinic or a clinic listed on the International Society of Travel Medicine (ISTM) website (www.istm.org).
Clinicians with post-travel health questions regarding their patients may consider referral to a clinic listed on the ISTM website, the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene website (www.astmh.org), or a medical university with specialists in infectious diseases.
Because of the complexity of some travel-related diseases, Box 1-1 lists contact information for providers needing clinical assistance.

Install Arch Linux from existing Linux
zh-CN:Install from Existing Linux zh-TW:Install from Existing Linux This guide is intended for anybody who wants to install Arch Linux from any other running Linux -- be it off a LiveCD or a pre-existing install of a different distro.
This is useful for:
- remotely installing Archlinux (e.g. a (virtual) root server)
- creating a new linux distribution or LiveCD based on Archlinux
- creating an Archlinux chroot environments
- rootfs-over-NFS for diskless machines
This guide requires that the existing host system be able to execute the new target Arch Linux architecture programs. In the case of an x86_64 host, it is possible to use i686-pacman to build a 32-bit chroot environment. See Arch64 Install bundled 32bit system. However it is not so easy to build a 64-bit environment when the host only supports running 32-bit programs.
This guide provides additional steps to the Installation Guide. The steps of that guide must still be followed as needed.
- 1 Prepare the system
- 2 Setup the environment for pacman
- 2.1 Method 1: Chroot into LiveCD-image
- 2.2 Method 2: Direct bootstrapping Archlinux
- 2.3 Method 3: Bootstrapping the arch installation scripts
- 2.4 Method 4: Install pacman natively on non-arch distro (advanced)
- 3 Fix the Pacman Signature Keyring
- 4 Setup the target system
- 5 Tips and tricks
Prepare the system
Follow the Installation Guide steps, until you have your partitions, keyboard and internet connection ready.
Setup the environment for pacman
You need to create an environment where pacman and the arch install scripts can run on your current linux distro. (If you choose the Method 2, only pacman is necessary)
There are in principle two different methods to prepare that environment: either by installing pacman natively (Method 4 below) on your linux distro or by setting up a chroot environment. The latter way will generally be easier and is discussed next:
There are two possible ways of using the chroot method:
- Using chroot as an installation environment: The prepared Archlinux chroot environment will be used temporarily to set up the actual Archlinux installation using the arch-install-scripts. This is a bit more work and takes longer but once you set up the installation system you can quickly install several Archlinux systems. However, if you want to set up only a single Archlinux this might be overkill. You are actually setting up the system twice, have a lot more network traffic and especially need a lot more RAM and disk space, mostly due to the quite big iso image.
- Installing Archlinux directly/Direct Bootstrapping: Thanks to tokland's arch-bootstrap script this method is effectively a one-liner and very fast. After that one line of code your Archlinux base system is installed to disk. However, if setting up multiple copies of Archlinux, this method requires the re-downloading of the base packages every time, so is slower.
The best advice is probably to use Direct bootstrapping to set up only a small number of systems. If you set up many Archlinux systems the chroot install environment or even the native pacman installation might suit you better.
Method 1: Chroot into LiveCD-image
It is possible to mount the root image of the latest Archlinux installation media and then chroot into it. This method has the advantage of providing you with a working Arch Linux installation right within your host system without the need to prepare it by installing specific packages.
FATAL ERROR aborting: uncompress_inode_table: failed to read block.
- Download the lastest installation CD image from https://www.archlinux.org/download/
- Mount the Live CD image:
# mount -o loop archlinux-{date}-dual.iso /mnt
- The root image exists in squashfs format on the Live CD. The squashfs format is not editable as such. Hence, we unsquash the root image and then mount it.
To unsquash the x86_64 (or i686 respectively) root image, run
# unsquashfs -d /squashfs-root /mnt/arch/x86_64/root-image.fs.sfs
- Now you can unmount and remove the iso image
# umount /mnt # rm archlinux-{date}-dual.iso
- Now you can loop mount the root image
# mount -o loop /squashfs-root/root-image.fs /arch
- Before chrooting to it, we need to set up some mount points.
# mount -t proc none /arch/proc # mount -t sysfs none /arch/sys # mount -o bind /dev /arch/dev # mount -o bind /dev/pts /arch/dev/pts # important for pacman (for signature check)
- Now everything is prepared to chroot into your newly installed Arch environment
# chroot /arch bash
This chroot is able to execute the arch install scripts. The destination partitions should be mounted under the
/mnt directory from this chroot.
Method 2: Direct bootstrapping Archlinux
This method will install a basic Archlinux system directly onto your previously prepared root file system mounted as
/mnt. This is known as bootstrapping and is definitely the quickest way to install a single Archlinux system from a foreign distribution. Moreover, it is less disk consuming as method 1 as it does not require to download the whole Archlinux installation image. Therefore bootstrapping is the method of choice for installing Archlinux on a remote host, such as a virtual root server using some arbitrary GNU/Linux-based rescue environment.
As described in the Installation Guide we assume your disk which should become your root device is mountet at
/mnt. At first grab tokland's arch-bootstrap script, c.f. Archbootstrap,
# cd /tmp # wget http://tokland.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/archlinux/arch-bootstrap.sh # chmod +x arch-bootstrap.sh
This script will bootstrap a basic archlinux system, i.e., it will download the linux kernel, pacman basic tools like bash and all needed dependencies and unpack them to the given directory, in this case
If you are wanting to install a 32-bit system:
# ./arch-bootstrap.sh -a i686 -r "ftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org" /mnt/
Or a 64-bit system:
# ./arch-bootstrap.sh -a x86_64 -r "ftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org" /mnt/
The bootstrapping will take 2-5 minutes depending on the speed of your system.
If the architecture of the foreign distribution is not the same as the one of the newly bootstrapped system you might have to change the architecture in
If your bootstrapped system is 32-bit system:
Architecture = i686
Or for a 64-bit system:
Architecture = x86_64
Before chrooting into the newly created system we need to set up some mount points. This is essential for the installation of a bootloader later on, c.f. Change Root.
# mount -t proc none /mnt/proc # mount -t sysfs none /mnt/sys # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev # mount -o bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts # important for pacman (for signature check)
Now everything is prepared to chroot into your newly installed Arch environment
# chroot /mnt bash
Before you can use pacman you have to initialize its keyring as explained below, in #Fix the Pacman Signature Keyring.
From here on proceed with Installation Guide#Install the base system, but remember, you are already working in your final system, thus no need for
pacstrap, simply use
pacman. So the next command you are most likely to execute will be
# pacman -S base # and evtl. also base-devel
Credit goes to Arnau Sanchez alias tokland, the author of the arch-bootstrap script.
Method 3: Bootstrapping the arch installation scripts
Contrary to the other methods, this method is one-step only; you only have to execute the script below and thats it.
This method can be considered an hybrid between Method 1 and Method 2. It provides a chroot enviroment from where to execute the arch install scripts (similar to Method 1), by using a bootstrapping script (similar to Method 2).
The script below is going to create a directory called
archinstall-pkg and download the required packages there. Then, is going to extract them into the
archinstall-chroot directory. Finally, is going to prepare mount points, configure pacman and enter into a chroot.
This chroot is able to execute the arch install scripts. The destination partitions should be mounted under the
/mnt directory from this chroot. After that, continue with the next step, which is #Fix the Pacman Signature Keyring.
CHROOT_DIR=archinstall-chroot Must Change First, or you might ruin your /etc/

Method 4: Install pacman natively on non-arch distro (advanced)
This method is about installing pacman and the arch install scripts directly under another distro, so they become regular programs on that distro.
This is really useful if you are planning to use another distro regularly to install arch linux, or do fancy things like updating packages of an arch installation using another distro. This is the only method that not imply creating a chroot to be able to execute pacman and the arch install scripts. (but since part of the installation includes entering inside a chroot, you'll end using a chroot anyway)
Download pacman source code and pacman packages
Visit the pacman homepage: https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/#_releases and download the latest release.
Now, download the following packages:
- pacman-mirrorlist: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/any/pacman-mirrorlist/download/
- arch-install-scripts: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/arch-install-scripts/download/
- pacman (necessary for the config files): https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/pacman/download/ (change x86_64 as necessary)
Install dependencies
Using your distribution mechanisms, install the required packages for pacman and the arch install scripts. libcurl, libarchive, fakeroot, xz, asciidoc, wget, and sed are among them. Of course, gcc, make and maybe some other "devel" packages are necessary too.
Compile pacman
- Decompress the pacman source code and cd inside.
- Execute configure, adapting the paths as necessary:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-doc
If you get errors here, chances are you are missing dependencies, or your current libcurl, libarchive or others, are too old. Install the dependencies missing using your distro options, or if they are too old, compile them from source.
- Compile
- If there were no errors, install the files
make install
- You may need to manually call
ldconfigto make your distro detect libalpm.
Prepare configuration files
Now is time to extract the configuration files. Change the x86_64 as necessary.
- Extract the pacman.conf and makepkg.conf files from the pacman package, and disable signature checking:
tar xJvf pacman-*-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz etc -C / ; sed -i 's/SigLevel.*/SigLevel = Never/g' /etc/pacman.conf
- Extract the mirror list:
tar xJvf pacman-mirrorlist-*-any.pkg.tar.xz -C /
- Enable some mirrors on
- Extract the arch-install-scripts
tar xJvf arch-install-scripts-*-any.pkg.tar.xz -C /
Another option is using the
alien tool to convert the
pacman-mirrorlist and
arch-install-scripts (but no
pacman) to native packages of your distro.
Fix the Pacman Signature Keyring
It is necessary to initialize pacman's keyring for signature checking.
This is done using
# pacman-key --init # read the note below! # pacman-key --populate archlinux
However, when connected via SSH you might run out of entropy. In this case you can try something like
# cat /usr/bin/* > /dev/null & # find / > /dev/null &
before executing
pacman-key --init.
It might take some time. If nevertheless all this does help install haveged and run prior to
pacman-key --init
# /usr/sbin/haveged -w 1024 -v 1
Setup the target system
At this point, follow the normal steps of Installation Guide. Remember to mount the destination partition under the
/mnt of the chroot.
# pacstrap /mnt base base-devel # # ...
Edit the fstab file
Probably the
genfstab script won't work. In that case, you'll need to edit the
/mnt/etc/fstab file by hand.
You can use the content of
/etc/mtab as reference.
Finish the Installation
Now just do the rest of the steps normally.
Tips and tricks
- In case you want to replace an existing system, but can for some reason not use a LiveCD, since, e.g., you have no physical access to the computer, the following tip might help: If you manage to get ~500MB of free space somewhere on the disk (e.g. by partitioning a swap partition) you can install the new Archlinux system there, reboot into the newly created system and rsync the entire system to the primary partition. Finally don't forget to fix the bootloader configuration before rebooting.

Studied Homeopathic Remedies
- Arnica
A bruise is the visible evidence of bleeding under the skin. Seldom more than a cosmetic nuisance, it goes through a well-defined series of changes, beginning with a dark purple and red coloration, gradually fading through greenish yellow, then disappearing. Some people are particularly prone to bruises, developing them after injuries too minor to affect most people.
Scientific Evaluations of Homeopathic Remedies for Bruises
Homeopathic Arnica is so widely believed to be an effective treatment for bruises and other minor traumas that it is found in the medicine cabinets of millions of people, especially in Europe. However, there is as yet no consistent scientific evidence that it is effective. 4
For example, two very preliminary clinical trials were performed to test whether homeopathic Arnica montana can reduce the size or discomfort of a bruise caused by injury. 1 The first study tested 10m potency Arnica (equivalent to a dilution of a whopping one part in 1,020,000!); the second used a 30c dilution. A total of about 25 subjects were enrolled in the two trials.
In these unpleasant-sounding experiments, the subjects allowed themselves to be bruised on the inside of their forearms by a 2.3-pound (1,041 g) weight, which fell from about a foot and a half (44 cm) above the arm. Participants were given either Arnica or placebo before the experiment and then were bruised on one arm. Subsequently, they were given a second dose of whatever they had just received and were then followed for a period of 3 to 4 days. The goal was to see whether the bruises treated by Arnica got better faster than those treated by placebo.
Researchers found a hint of benefit in the first study, but none in the second study. Unfortunately, the numbers of participants in each study were too small to allow for the results to have much statistical meaning.
Arnica has also been studied to see if it can reduce bruising caused by surgery. However, in a double-blind trial of 130 people undergoing treatment for varicose veins, researchers found no benefit with homeopathic Arnica at 5x potency, as compared to placebo. 2 Another study of people undergoing treatment for varicose veins, along with a study of people undergoing hand surgery also failed to find benefit. 5-6 A more recent study, involving face-lift surgery, found equivocal benefits at best. 7
Finally, researchers have attempted to discover whether homeopathic Arnica 10x has any effect on the ability of the blood to clot, as measured by laboratory tests. In a double-blind study of 18 healthy male volunteers, Arnica was indistinguishable from placebo regarding blood coagulation. 3
Homeopathic practitioners traditionally give Arnica to treat traumatic injuries. The classical homeopathic symptom picture for Arnica includes the presence of black-and-blue spots, a bruised feeling, and difficulty in finding a comfortable position. It isn't hard to recognize this as a description of minor injury.
For herbs, supplements, and other alternative treatments that may be useful for minor injuries, see the Minor Injury entry in this database. For problems related to a tendency to bruise easily, see the Easy Bruising entry.
For a thorough explanation of homeopathy, including dilution of therapies, see the Homeopathy Overview .

cdrecordby Jörg Schilling. However,
cdrkitis not affiliated with any of these authors; it is now an independent project.
The cdrkit package is available in the official repositories.
If you intend to use cdrdao (for writing
bin files to CD), install that package instead.
cdrkit, it is recommended to install cdrtools from the community repository (
cdrkit is a fork of
cdrtools is being actively developed and supports CD, DVD and Blu-ray burning along with complete CDRWIN
bin support.
cdrtools does not depend on
cdrdao. For more information, see this page from the cdrtools site.
Modifying the CD-RW
For the remainder of this section the name of your recording device is assumed to be
/dev/cdrw. If that is not the case, modify the commands accordingly. In order to write to the CD it needs to be unmounted. If it is not,
wodim will give you an error message.
You can try to let wodim locate your burning device with this command:
$ wodim -checkdrive
Erasing CD-RW
CD-RW media usually need to be erased before you can write new data on it. To blank CD-RW medium use this command:
$ wodim -v dev=/dev/cdrw -blank=fast
As you might have guessed, this blanks your medium really fast, but you can also use some other options, just replace the word fast with one of the following:
- all
- blank the entire disk
- disc
- blank the entire disk
- disk
- blank the entire disk
- fast
- minimally blank the entire disk (PMA, TOC, pregap)
- minimal
- minimally blank the entire disk (PMA, TOC, pregap)
- track
- blank a track
- unreserve
- unreserve a track
- trtail
- blank a track tail
- unclose
- unclose last session
- session
- blank last session
Burning an ISO image
To burn an ISO image run:
$ cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 isoimage.iso
Verify the burnt ISO image
You can verify the integrity of the burnt CD to make sure it contains no errors. Always eject the CD and reinsert it before verifying.
First calculate the md5sum of the original ISO image:
$ md5sum isoimage.iso e5643e18e05f5646046bb2e4236986d8 isoimage.iso
If the CD was burnt in DAO (Disc At Once) mode by passing the -dao option to cdrecord you can calculate the md5sum of the burnt CD as follows:
$ md5sum /dev/sr0 e5643e18e05f5646046bb2e4236986d8 /dev/sr0
If the CD was burnt in TAO (Track At Once) mode it can be verified with dd and md5sum. You need to know the number of sectors to check. You can calculate this by dividing the size of the ISO file by 2048, but for your convenience this is included in the output of cdrecord:
Track 01: Total bytes read/written: 90095616/90095616 (43992 sectors).
Then check if this matches the md5sum of the burnt image, replacing "count" with the number of sectors:
$ dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 count=43992 | md5sum 43992+0 records in 43992+0 records out 90095616 bytes (90 MB) copied, 0.359539 s, 251 MB/s e5643e18e05f5646046bb2e4236986d8 -
Burning an audio CD
1. Create your audio tracks and store them as uncompressed, 16-bit stereo WAV files.
cd to the directoy with your MP3 files, and run:
$ for i in *.mp3; do lame --decode "$i" "`basename "$i" .mp3`".wav; done
Note: In case you get an error when trying to burn WAV files converted with lame try decoding with mpg123:
$ for i in *.mp3; do mpg123 --rate 44100 --stereo --buffer 3072 --resync -w `basename $i .mp3`.wav $i; done
2. Name the audio files in a manner that will cause them to be listed in the desired track order when listed alphabetically, such as
03.wav, etc.
3. Use the following command to simulate burning the wav files as an audio CD:
$ wodim -dummy -v -pad speed=1 dev=/dev/cdrw -dao -swab *.wav
In case you detect errors or empty tracks like
Track 01: audio 0 MB (00:00.00) no preemp pad
try another decoder (e.g. mpg123) or try using cdrecord from the cdrtools package. Note that cdrkit also contains a cdrecord command but it is just a softlink to wodim.
4. If anything worked you can remove the dummy flag to really burn the CD
To test the new audio CD, use MPlayer:
$ mplayer cdda://
Burning a bin/cue
To burn a bin/cue image run:
$ cdrdao write --device /dev/cdrw image.cue
Making an ISO image from an existing CD
To copy an existing CD just type:
$ dd if=/dev/cdrw of=/home/user/isoimage.iso
or even simpler:
$ cat /dev/cdrw > isoimage.iso
Or use the
readcd program, also in the
cdrkit package
$ readcd -v dev=/dev/cdrw -f isoimage.iso
If the original CD was bootable it will be a bootable image.
TOC/CUE/BIN for mixed-mode disks
ISO images only store a single data track. If you want to create an image of a mixed-mode disk (data track with multiple audio tracks) then you need to make a TOC/BIN pair:
$ cdrdao read-cd --read-raw --datafile IMAGE.bin --driver generic-mmc:0x20000 --device /dev/cdrom IMAGE.toc
Some software only likes CUE/BIN pair, you can make a CUE sheet with
toc2cue (part of
$ toc2cue IMAGE.toc IMAGE.cue
Making an ISO image from existing files on hard disk
To make an iso image just copy the needed files to one folder, then do:
$ mkisofs -V volume_name -J -r -o isoimage.iso ~/folder
Mounting an ISO image
To test if the ISO image is proper, you can mount it (as root):
# mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 cd_image /cdrom
You have to first load the loop module:
# modprobe loop
Converting to an ISO image
To convert an
ccd image, you can use
# pacman -S ccd2iso $ ccd2iso ~/image.img ~/image.iso
Burning CDs with a GUI
There are several applications available to burn CDs in a graphical environment. The use of these programs are self-explanatory.
Nero Linux
NERO LINUX is a commercial burning suite from makers of Nero for windows - Nero AG. the biggest advantage of nero linux is its interface which similar to window version. Hence, users migrating from windows might find it easy to operate. The Linux version now includes Nero Express, a wizard which takes users through the process of burning CDs and DVDs step-by-step, which users will be familiar with from the Windows version. Also new in version 4 is Blu-ray Disc defect management, integration of Isolinux for creating bootable media and support for Musepack and AIFF audio formats...
- Nero Linux 4
- nerolinuxAUR AUR package
- Easy, wizard-style user interface for guided burning with Nero Linux Express 4
- Full Blu-ray Burning Support
- Supports Burning of Audio CD (CD-DA), ISO 9660 (Joliet support), CD-Text, ISOLINUX Bootable, Multi-session Discs, DVD-Video and miniDVD, DVD double layer support.
- Advanced burning with Nero Burning ROM and command line client
Nero Linux 4 retails at £17.99 with a free trial version also available.
For Nero Linux you need
MODULES=( sg )
in rc.conf. Some updates ago the sg module wasn't auto loaded any more and Nero needs it.
According to [1], k3b is "The CD/DVD Kreator for Linux - optimized for KDE". K3b uses the Qt toolkit.
The k3b package is available in the official repositories.
# pacman -S k3b
k3bsetup to set up your preferences, permissions, etc.; run
k3b to execute the main program.
Brasero is another solution to CD burning if you are using GNOME.
- Run
braseroto run the main program.
Graveman is a simple and almost dependency-free application for burning CDs.
- Run
gravemanas a regular user to create the configuration file in
~/.config/graveman/graveman.conf(if you run graveman as root first, the permissions for this file will be wrong).
- Now, in graveman, go to menu File > Preferences... > Devices and add your CD burners (If necessary, run graveman as root). Devices may already be set up correctly.
- Note that you may have to manually add your own device in Graveman's preferences and point it at
/dev/cdrominstead of
- If graveman's automatic detection points to 1,0,0 or something like that, and you get the "Currently: no media" error you may point it to
/dev/cdromas noted above
Alternatively theres also Bashburn in official repositories as a semi-GUI solution. BashBurn is the new name for the CD burning shell script Magma. It is not the best looking CD-burning application out there, but it does what you want it to do.
Xfburn is a simple CD/DVD burning tool from the Xfce project, and is based on libburnia libraries. It can blank CD-RWs, burn and create ISO images, as well as burn personal compositions of data to either CD or DVD.
It can be found in the official repositories.
Recorder is a graphical front-end of cdrkit/cdrtools, cdrdao, mkisofs and growisofs. It aims to be simple and easy to use, free of large configurations and useless options, following the KISS principle and offering a disc burning of quality, nothing more.
- Install recorderAUR from the AUR
- Discussion thread: Recorder - A simple GTK+ disc burner
About Locale
When running K3B, if the following message appears
System locale charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968 Your system's locale charset (i.e. the charset used to encode file names) is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968. It is highly unlikely that this has been done intentionally. Most likely the locale is not set at all. An invalid setting will result in problems when creating data projects.Solution: To properly set the locale charset make sure the LC_* environment variables are set. Normally the distribution setup tools take care of this.
It means that your locale is not set well.
To fix it,
- Remove
# rm /etc/locale.gen
- Re-install
# pacman -S glibc
- Edit
/etc/locale.gen, uncommenting all lines lines that corresponds to your language AND the
en_USoptions, for compatibility.
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_US ISO-8859-1
- Re-generate the profiles with
# locale-gen
Generating locales... en_US.UTF-8... done en_US.ISO-8859-1... done pt_BR.UTF-8... done pt_BR.ISO-8859-1... done Generation complete.

An enterocutaneous fistula is an abnormal connection between the intestines and the skin. Intestinal or stomach contents can leak through this connection. The contents may leak into another part of the body or outside of the body.
Most enterocutaneous fistulas develop as a complication of bowel surgery. Other causes include:
- Bowel disease, such as Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis
- A perforated duodenal ulcer
- Trauma, such as a gunshot or stabbing
- Cancer
- Complications of cancer treatment, such as radiation therapy
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of enterocutaneous fistula include:
- History of radiation
- Poor nutrition
Symptoms may include:
- Leakage of intestinal contents from an abdominal wound onto the skin
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Signs of infection, such as fever, chills, and rapid heart rate
- Dehydration
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a colon and rectal surgeon.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
- Barium swallow test
- Barium enema if colon is involved
- Fistulogram
- Abdominal CT scan
- Ultrasound
A fistula may be able to heal on its own over 2-8 weeks. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Nutritional support may be needed while the fistula is healing:
- You may need to drink and eat high energy food for a while.
- Nutrition may need to be delivered through a tube connected to your stomach or intestine.
- If your bowels need to rest, nutrition may be given as an IV.
- Antibiotics may be prescribed to help prevent or control infection.
- A drain may be attached to your wound to collect leakage from the fistula.
- If the fistulas do not heal, then part of the intestine may need to be removed.

text: Robert Levinson, (born March 10, 1948) was kidnapped in Iran in 2007. The former FBI agent served for 33 years, and according to his family was acting as a freelance "spy" for a rogue CIA operation when he was kidnapped on Kish island. A video they received was released by his family in December of 2011. In the video, Levinson said that he was not in good health and is running out of diabetes medicine. The U.S. government has no evidence showing who is holding Levinson, and the Iranian government has denied any involvement. Clues suggest he may be in Southwest Asia in the hands of an independent terrorist organization. He was the only American not part of the prisoner exchange the United States made with Iran when the Nuclear arms deal was implemented on January 16, 2016.

Price Toyota Hilux Engine
Get the midlevel SE trim. The SE features a sport-tuned suspension for better handling. Don't be concerned about a stiff ride, although the SE remains relatively comfortable on the road. The SE can also be an excellent bargain considering most of the safety and tech equipment you get for the money. Finally, the SE can be acquired with a wide variety of options, so you can pick and choose those are right for the budget.
Crossover SUVs might be most of the rage, but there's still something to be said for the tried-and-true midsize sedan. Exhibit A: the Price Toyota Hilux Engine. Coming off a redesign just this past year, the Price Toyota Hilux Engine is a spacious, fuel-efficient sedan with plenty of standard safety equipment and a lot of options to choose from.
As has been the case for a time, you can get the Price Toyota Hilux Engine with a four-cylinder engine or perhaps a more powerful V6, or you will get the miserly Price Toyota Hilux Engine Hybrid. On the highway, the Price Toyota Hilux Engine is comfortable and compliant. Price Toyota Hilux Engine also offers two sporty versions that infuse the Price Toyota Hilux Engine with a little bit of extra personality. Inside, the Price Toyota Hilux Engine supplies a simple yet feature-packed cabin, especially if you choose among the upper trim levels. There are plenty of options to select from over the way.
The Price Toyota Hilux Engine is really as competent while they come. It's well-priced generally, and modern feature content helps it be supremely simple to drive. If you're searching for something with much more class and space than a small sedan, the Price Toyota Hilux Engine might just be the sedan for you.
The Price Toyota Hilux Engine is the beds base trim. It includes a relatively light load of features which includes 16-inch steel wheels, automatic LED headlights, cloth upholstery, a height-adjustable driver's seat, a rearview camera, keyless entry, a 7-inch touchscreen interface, navigation (GPS Scout Link), Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa connectivity, one USB port, Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a six-speaker sound system.
Standard on every Price Toyota Hilux Engine Safety Sense, which is really a suite of driver assistance features including adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure alert with steering assistance, and automatic high beams.
On the following rung up the ladder is the LE.It adds a power-adjustable driver's seat, 17-inch alloy wheels, a 60/40-split folding back seat and a vehicle alarm. For a sporty dynamic, look at the SE.It adds a sport-tuned suspension, revised steering calibration, 18-inch wheels, simulated-leather upholstery (SofTex) seats and paddle shifters.
You can think of the XLE and the XSE trim levels as versions of the LE and the SE, respectively, with many different additional comfort and convenience items. Highlights include larger wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, a head-up display, blind-spot monitoring, keyless ignition, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, extra USB ports, a larger 8-inch touchscreen, and wireless smartphone charging.
Most of the features found on the upper trim levels could be added to the lower trim levels as options. Other notable options incorporate a sunroof, a JBL sound system coupled with an integrated navigation system, a head-up display, and a top-down parking camera system.

The Truth about the $13 billion dollar Bottled Water Industry
According to the National Geographic1, "Bottled water is a drain on the environment: The U.S. public goes through about 50 billion water bottles a year, and most of those plastic containers are not recycled. Transporting the bottles and keeping them cold also burns fossil fuels, which give off greenhouse gases."
1500 plastic bottles are consumed every second. Enough plastic is thrown away each year to circle the earth four times. And, it will take 1000 years for the plastic to degrade.2
The plastic in bottled water often contains chemicals BPA and phthalates, which are proven to be hazardous to human health.3
The non-profit, non-partisan Environmental Working Group (EWG) says, "The government does not mandate that bottled water be any safer than tap water. In fact, the chemical pollution standards are nearly identical." Historically, bottled waters have even been recalled for contamination with particulate matter, mold and bacteria.4
Further, as reported by ABC, environmental advocate Mae Wu has performed studies which show bottled is no safer or cleaner: There is actually more testing federally mandated on tap water than bottled. 100 compounds of tap water must be tested every day and the results posted online.5
In this video by ABC, in a blind taste test, many even preferred the taste of tap water over bottled.

Dangers of Tap Water
Safe and readily available water is a basic human necessity in order to meet health and sanitation needs. However, tap water around the world has consistently been found to be subpar, "first-world" countries not excluded.
According to the WHO (World Health Organization) some pretty astonishing facts about drinking global water are:1
Around the world, at least 1.8 billion people utilize a drinking water source contaminated with fecal matter.
Contaminated water can transmit diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid and polio. Contaminated drinking water is estimated to cause 502,000 diarrheal deaths each year.
By 2025, half of the world's population will be living in water-stressed areas.
In low and middle income countries, 38% of health care facilities lack any water source, 19% do not have improved sanitation, and 35% lack water and soap for handwashing.
We're not trying to say that our Enagic® machine will solve all of the world's water problems. However, we do advise that you have your own water analyzed to get a better idea. At that point, you can be proactive about filtering your source water, then ionizing it to achieve the healthiest water on the planet! Think about what you drink!
NY Times: Tainted Tap Water in U.S.
Thirty-five years after the U.S. Congress passed the Safe Drinking Water Act, some regulators and environmentalists state the law is now so obsolete that it fails to protect people from the most obvious threats.
In the USA, the NY Times reported on violations of the Clean Water Act, a federal law which governs water pollution, and has shown household water that is contaminated with lead, nickel, and other heavy metals. (Some extreme side-effects of this contamination have resulted in skin burns, rashes, and eroded tooth enamel).2
The NY Times has since compiled a database of violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act, finding 40% of the nation's community water systems in violation at least once, exposing millions to potentially harmful chemicals, toxins, and heavy metals.3
Kangen Water® is Antioxidant-Rich, Healthy Water for Revitalized Cells and a Healthy Alternative to regular Tap and Bottled Water
Kangen Water® (aka electrolyzed reduced water (ERW), or hydrogen water) begins as tap water. The Enagic® machine filters out chlorine and other impurities from the tap water, then separates the hydrogen and oxygen with a process known as electrolysis. This process adds an electron to the hydrogen creating a new molecule called diatomic molecular hydrogen gas. When this is added to your drinking water, it produces antioxidant-rich Kangen Water®
Oxidant, by definition, is an oxidizing agent, while antioxidant is any substance that acts to slow or prevent the oxidation of another chemical.
In the human body, oxidative damage plays a huge role in many of our modern day diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Antioxidants, on the other hand, act to tame the free radicals (or highly reactive chemicals) in the body that have potential to harm cells and cause disease.1
In a scientific study by the National Institute of Health, it was discovered:
"The consumption of hydrogen rich water for 8 weeks resulted in a 39% increase (p<0.05) in antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) and a 43% decrease (p< 0.05) in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in urine. Further, subjects demonstrated an 8% increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and a 13% decrease in total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol from baseline to 4 weeks." 2
What does this mean? According to this study, those who drank hydrogen-rich water showed a substantial increase in their antioxidant enzymes and a massive decrease in acid in the urine. Further, participants showed a significant increase in HDL the "good cholesterol," and a significant decrease in the "bad cholesterol."
'Electrolyzed Reduced Water' (aka Kangen Water® or hydrogen water) has been used in hospitals in Japan for decades.
And, now you can make the same alkaline, antioxidant, mineral-rich, pure, safe, and healthy drinking water right in your own home.

An online connection does not equal a relationship, a report from the Northwestern Mutual Granum Center for Financial Security at The American College found. In fact, advisors who don't use social media judiciously run the risk of alienating their clients.
"Advisors are being bombarded with messages about social media," Sharen King, executive director of the Granum Center for Financial Security, said in a statement. "There seems to be an unwritten expectation that as an advisor today, you need to be a savvy social media expert, but what we learned is that while clients are open to receiving information to help them learn more about financial products and services, they still prefer a face-to-face conversation to address their financial needs."
The report is based on a pair of surveys conducted by Mathew Greenwald & Associates that polled consumers and financial professionals to identify trends and habits on social media. The consumer survey polled more than 1,000 adults ages 25 to 65 with income of at least $50,000 to get their feelings on advisors who use social media. Almost 300 financial advisors, including insurance agents and independent advisors, were asked about how they use social media and what they think their clients want.
The survey found that overall, just 11% of advisors have a comprehensive social media strategy in place.
Just over a third of respondents said they connected online with their advisor because he or she was already a good friend. Some consumers said they were turned off by financial professionals getting too personal online. More than 80% of consumers said they had a negative reaction to advisors sharing things like restaurant recommendations or favorite vacation spots.
Advisors need to understand what their clients want from them online. The survey found 13% of consumers said they connected with their advisor online simply because it made communication easier. The same percentage only connected because they were responding to the advisor's request. More than a third said they would consider ending their relationship with their advisor if he or she tried to contact them through social media.
Advisors seem to already be aware that they need to tread carefully with their clients on social media. The advisor survey found 60% of advisors don't use social media because their clients prefer traditional methods for communicating. The majority of consumers said they were cautious about how much financial information they reveal through social media (93%) and less than 12% of consumers said they were open to communicating through social media.
"The financial services business is about building relationships, one client at a time, via a private conversation," the report said. "Social media is about building community, via group posting, in a public forum."
Consumers are far more likely than advisors to use Facebook and Twitter. More than two-thirds of consumers use Facebook and 18% use Twitter, compared with 15% and 3% of advisors who use them. However, the surveys found consumers and advisors use LinkedIn at similar rates; 31% of consumers and 36% of advisors are on the site.
The Granum Center recommended that "at a minimum," advisors should create a website and LinkedIn profile and get comfortable with both. Surprisingly, more than half of advisors said they don't even have a professional website.
Younger clients were about three times as likely to connect with their advisors online as older clients, but both groups favored LinkedIn to do so. Almost half of consumers between 25 and 34 said they were connected with their advisor or agent through LinkedIn, compared with 17% of older consumers who agreed. Of the younger group, 36% said they were connected to their advisor through Facebook, and 35% said they used Twitter to connect. For the older group, 12% use Facebook and 11% use Twitter to connect with their advisor.
The report found that consumers just aren't looking for advisors online they way they look for a handyman or a realtor. Of consumers who started working with an advisor based on a referral, just 1% were introduced online.
What they do want online, the report found, is information. More than 90% want tips on saving and investing on social media sites, and 57% specified LinkedIn as their preferred site for financial news. The report identified saving and investing tips, term and concept definitions and market commentary as the most valuable information to consumers.

Software AG has launched the webMethods 9.5 platform at its annual Innovation World user's conference in San Francisco. This version features capabilities of possible interest to developers working to automate business process management (BPM) functions and scale their application implementations into private and public clouds.
Data-centric programmers may also have their interest piqued by the webMethods BPMS (where the S stands for Social) solution, which now provides guidance tools to help users be more effective and efficient in managing and completing tasks. With Social BPM, tasks can be tagged to facilitate the identification of expertise resources so that work can be routed to the best expert available.
"Disruptive trends such as cloud, mobile, and social continue to drive organizations' expectations for interacting with projects and applications," said Wolfram Jost, CTO at Software AG. "By extending the mobile, cloud, and alignment capabilities of our solutions, we greatly improve how quickly and effectively customers can respond to their market needs."
In the area of mobile BPM, developers now have control to give users tools that will remotely monitor "in-progress processes" using a pre-built mobile business process monitoring application that is available for download in the Apple App Store and Google Play.
NOTE: Aggregated views of process instances give instant insight into stalled or failed processes.
Also here we find enhancements to the webMethods Suite including updates to the Model-to-Execute functionality and methodology, which automates the alignment of business process analysis with automated system- and task-based business processes.
With stage and milestone support, process owners can now get high-level visibility into their process status and separate the signal from the noise. With this visibility they can quickly understand whether SLAs have been reached or breached across the key milestones that constitute their business process.
