You know how it is, it's nearly Christmas, you've been shooting all year, it's the middle of a busy week doing long back to back days of commercial work, but you've arranged an engagement shoot for the evening, and you think, really? Have I got the energy? Have I got the will?
And then you: a) remember this is what you love doing more than anything; b) you have the most adorable, relaxed, awesome young couple and; c) you have London at Christmas time at your disposal.
I met Charlie and Eliot at Green Park and we hunkered down over a coffee in Pret to get to know each other. The Ritz might have been more glamourous, but who wants to eat up so much time over tea when you have a romantic shoot to get under way? We were however just outside the Ritz, on Piccadilly, so grabbed our first few shots there, and immediately it was apparent how comfortable, in love, and relaxed these two were.
This was 7pm, and many people would be fazed by the throngs of marching tourists and bustling, home-bound commuters. But not Eliot and Charlie, who are as laid back as they come. It probably helps that Eliot manages a bar and Charlie is a singer, so maybe they have magical powers that mean they're not bothered by the Great British Public in all it's crowded glory.
Or maybe we just hit it off. That's always a big aim of an engagement shoot, to build on the relationship you need to have for the big day. I always try to have as much fun as possible, to keep the shoot as relaxed as possible, and only start to pull out extra bits of kit, radio-controlled flash units, tripods and the like, when I know my couple and I are on the same wavelength.
It can take a whole shoot sometimes to get that collaborative, relaxed spirit going, though usually I'm there within the first handful of pictures, to be honest. With Eliot and Charlie it was a matter of minutes, and it made our session so much fun. Be yourself, and the world will go along with you, is clearly their motto, and one we can all embrace.
Nonetheless, after twenty minutes of City traffic and bustle, I felt it was time we injected a little intimacy and serenity into the shoot, and we ambled along Piccadilly a little further to investigate the arcades. I had high hopes for Burlington Arcade, but sadly there was a private event hosted there and it was cordoned off. I charmed the security guards enough to get permission to shoot there, but would have had to have them glowering in the background, so we crossed over to the actually equally lovely Piccadilly Arcade.
Running between Jermyn Street and Piccadilly, this arcade is a grade II listed building, built in 1909, it is home to exclusive shirt-makers and crystal glass boutiques, and, above all, at this time of year and this time of the evening, is both wonderfully Christmassy and marvellously quiet.
I popped a little radio flash on a stand behind my couple and we went to work to draw out the most of the Christmas Romance magic from this adorable Edwardian arcade.
The three different arcades off Piccadilly have similar but very individual characters, but what unites them is the authentic feel of Belle Epoque, which sums up much of the architecture of this part of London. We're in Mayfair, don't you know, and so, ever so posh.
We strolled a little further, along Jermyn Street, to the Princes Arcade, which sits between Sir Isaac Newton's house, Fortnum and Mason's and St James' Church. A stones throw from Buckingham Palace, Pall Mall and Trafalgar Square, here you can imagine yourself as a character from Downton Abbey, come up to the city to buy grouse and pate. Or, more specifically, high quality cologne at 88, designer bathroom accessories from Czech and Speake, Prestat chocolates or top hat and tails from Andy and Tuly.
You could hang around waiting for a glimpse of Bill Nighy, who we hear is a regular window-shopper here, or you could just chill and be as we were, just yourselves, amidst the Christmas trees and the Edwardian glass and lights.
When finally a very sweet security guard told us he was locking up, we took a hop and a skip down to Piccadilly Circus, to take in more of the lights and the breathless atmosphere that only Central London three weeks before Christmas can offer. Red buses, illuminated angels, and, with a little help from my radio flashgun again, a little bit of magic and sparkle.
As I contorted myself amidst the pine needles and the Christmas lights on Lower Regents Street, Charlie and Eliot remained unphased and relaxed. They have that natural, authentic chemistry that all successful couples have, and honestly they made this shoot feel like a stroll through the West End with two old friends, rather than an assignment.
I always shoot far more than I keep, and I frequently keep my shutter on six frames per second. It means throwing a lot of shots away, but every now and then you get a moment which seems to say that little something extra about your couple. Below, these two gave each other a look which speaks purely of them, is their own private language as they cuddle in front of the massive Christmas tree just above the ICA.
And then the moment I had been looking forward to all evening. As an enthusiast of landscape and urban landscape photography, I love playing with slow shutter speeds, often capturing shots as long as two or three minutes, to slow down time, blur clouds, freeze motion and light and give a very atmospheric and ethereal feel to a picture. Such very slow shutter speeds would make humans disappear or become blurry ghosts. But by slowing to just a couple of seconds, and with my most patient couple, we managed these lovely light-trail shots on Regents Street.
I love how the cars and buses blur into ghostly blurred lines, and I loved how game Charlie and Eliot were to join in, patiently holding their breath and playing lions every time I yelled "Freeze!" It should be said, that this winter has been particularly mild, so they didn't literally freeze, though you probably gathered that from the lack of coats in sight.
All in all, a lovely, laid-back evening of conversation and photography that made me forget this is something I do for a job. Thanks for a brilliant evening guys, and see you early in 2017 for what I know will be an awesome January Wedding.

Clothes are a subtle language in themselves. Mastering the vocabulary means that no matter where or when, you're dressed with integrity. We know this as style, as having complete freedom - a grand gesture made regardless of the gaze of others. It's being able - with even a single garment - to be independent of place and time. It's a freeing that goes far beyond the borders of an occasion. It's being able to say, "This is how I look and that's that."
This approach to life is now translated into the textile form of a robe. Together with the fashion label Fyne - muun has created a robe that unites the classic silhouette of a trench coat with the lightness of a bathrobe. The robe stands for an eclectic kind of self-image. Of always being dressed perfectly with a timeless classic. Of being stress free, beyond the strictures of dress codes so you can experience lightness and enjoyment, wellbeing and warmth. And just like this, these new horizons are woven together in the Robe.

I totally lost it on my birthday two weeks ago today. Think, full baby cry on the ground. It was intense, ugly, messy, full of truth, chaos, constellations of heartbreak and frustration and it was totally amazing - it may have even unlocked this very writing I'm doing right now, I can't say for sure, but something did.
I cried as though I were made of the ocean.
I cried for the impossible nostalgia that I fail to prepare myself for each year that wells up like a tsunami, and then I drown. The memories of joy, loss, fear, bravery, freedom, abandonment, connection, magic, laughter, innocence, pain, contentment, the ways in which each have nestled into my bones, or is it how they've taken to the ether around me? Time as the captor, as the container. The gratitude for it all which can only be measured by infinity, like the horizon, not ever really knowing where it begins or ends. The time I hitchhiked on the back of an old red pickup truck from the edge of a tiny fishing village in Costa Rica at eighteen, where I had been living alone, into the jungle and safe bungalow of a kind soul. How she fed me and listened to me, how it was a full moon, how we howled and danced, and how nobody, except her, ever knew about that moment until now. How nearly fifteen years later I went back to the very same place and had the urge to disappear into the memory of that certain galaxy of freedoms, so powerful, that it nearly swept me away. How there was no reason and every reason to worry, and how from here, everything is sand.
Because memories are their own afterlife, and are as much paradise as they are disaster.
And now nearly ten years after I returned to my life as it was beginning to resemble now, I write into the echo of a new moon in Gemini that calls us (me) to communicate from our hearts. How I go mining the channel between me and the world for the words to hold us close. And then also, today, it's Luna's second birthday which fills my heart up with emotion so primal and so proud that I want to tell the world about what a precious fate it is to have a person like her in my life. My teacher who brings with her lessons on magic. Born at 5:24 am, the memory of her birth waking me up just then today, so I could trace the folds of time with my fingers before the sun rose above another day. I do all this while winding around an uncertain terrain, as we do, finding the path of most forgiveness, because, what I've learned best of all so far, is that love is the anchor, the levity, the gravity, the ground and limitless sky. It's the sick and the tonic, it's all we need and also can be so hard to have.
I don't know, I've spent a lot of time in this life trying to get it right by the desires and ideas of others to find that I am so bad at it; I don't conform well. Like, I generally feel like an alien when it comes to standing in line or filling out paperwork. But what I am learning to traverse now is the field from which our memories and our present moments collide in our collective pursuits to connect, grow and create. And to trek with self-love, compassion and the allowing we need to be our best selves, perhaps not all of the time, but at the very least, often enough so that we can look back in order to look forward while feeling it all, and sometimes, we will feel more than just fine.
Happy Birthday, dear Luna. I love your light and I love your dark.
it's all for you

Wednesday Night Update
Hannah update – Hannah is out of surgery and resting peacefully in the PICU. Did I say peacefully???? Let me rephrase…..my child is fighting me and asking when does she get to sit in the recliner. This same fight is what has allowed us to go from darkness to light and hope.
What does this mean? She is feisty, sassy and nothing is going to keep her down. Hannah is blowing my mind, exceeding my expectations and fighting like hell to get back to her friends, her life, her normal.
So, surgically, we still have a lot of healing to do and battles to overcome, but I think she has shown everyone today that "SHE's GOT THIS!"
From the cancer perspective….preliminary results show favorable histology. This means that the course of treatments they have to choose from will be safe for this remaining partial kidney.
The likely course of treatment would more than likely start next week and consist of INPATIENT treatment. Hopefully, the tumor in the lung will be responsive and shrink via the chemo thus allowing us to remove the remainder surgically and then proceed with radiation.
Once we heal from this surgery, our next battle to fight this cancer is slated to take 12-18 months.
I can't thank you enough for your diligence and persistence in prayer, but as you can see this was a positive day out of what is projected to be a marathon, not a sprint.
As for today, I am signing off. She is resting and that is exactly what this momma needs as well. All my love and gratitude to you all!
Love, HANNAH's mom
Surgery Update 8:34pmEST
For all my prayer warriors out there…our sweet Forever friend Hannah needs some extra prayer tonight. She is still in surgery to remove the new tumor on her kidney. Multiple surgeons are on the case now and she is having some challenges with bleeding. Please help me pray that the Lord would help these surgeons get this tumor and she won't be in surgery longer than she has already been in. Totally believing her sweet words tonight, #GodsGotThis. So glad we got to give "airhugs" right before Hannah went to surgery #HopeForHannah #ForeverFriend#BeautifullyComplete

Multi Unmanned Vehicle System (nUxVs) at Defence R&D Canada
- Authors
- Corporate Authors
- Defence R&D Canada - Suffield, Ralston ALTA (CAN)
- Abstract
- No single UxV is perfectly suited to all task assignments. A homogenous UxV team, for example, a troop of identical UGV's, brings redundancy and reliability to a specefic class of tasks. Heterogeneous UxV teams, for example, a troop of UGV's, a flight of low flying rotorcraft, and a high flying UAV, provide increased capability. They can tackle multiple tasks simultaneoulsy through cooperative decision making, distributed tasks allocation, and collective mapping. Together, they can convoy payloads, provide communications, observe targets, shield troops, and, ultimately, deliver munitions. nUxV's have the potential to share, learn, and adapt information between like platforms and across platform types, to produce expanded capability and greater reliability. Current research exploits simple vehicle state exchange, communications relay and formation keeping. Our near-term research areas include map sharing and integration, task coordination, and heterogeneous nUxV teaming. Future research will address military nUxV C2; nUxV capability definition and understanding; behaviour-based and reactive nUxV's, emergence and stigmergy; and collaboration and interaction between human-robot teams.

School's Diamond Jubilee Legacy commemorates those who died in the First World War through the installation of a Tommy silhouette
2017/18 saw the school celebrate its Diamond Jubilee. In fact, twelve months ago this week the whole school community gathered in the Metropolitan Cathedral to celebrate the lives of all those men and women educated at St Cuthbert's since 1957.
The school was keen to leave a legacy from its year of celebrations. Using funds raised by the final community event of the year - StCuthFEST - the school has decided to purchase and install its own Tommy silhouette as part of the "There But Not There" centenary commemoration of the end of the 1914-1918 war.
"There But Not There" aims to place a representative figure for every name on local war memorials around the country, into their place of worship, their school, their workplace or wherever their absence was keenly felt. These transparent silhouettes will be back within their communities for Remembrance 2018, the centenary commemoration of the end of the 1914-1918 First World War.
Commenting on the installation Mrs Twist, Headteacher said, "Remembrance has always been an important annual event in our school calendar. As the centenary period draws to a close we wanted a real focus with which to educate younger generations on the level of sacrifice made by British and Commonwealth men and women in the First World War, and the impact this war had on our society and culture today. We hope by installing a Tommy at our front door we may symbolically be bringing a member of our community back home."
Head of Humanities, Mrs Holly Brown said, "In the lead up to Armistice Day we will be exploring lots of different aspects of the end of the First World War including an exciting piece of work with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Events will include a series of assemblies for 5 days starting on 5th November and culminating with our annual Service of Remembrance for the community in our school grounds."
Funds raised from the sale of the Tommies will contribute directly to the work carried out by the following beneficiary charities: Commonwealth War Graves Foundation, Help for Heroes, Combat Stress, Walking with the Wounded. The Tommies and their commemorative packaging are made by the Royal British Legion Industries, appropriately, by ex-Service Veterans employed by RBLI

Home > Our Official Blog > Doll Factory Workers at Risk for Mesothelioma, Study Reveals
Home > Our Official Blog > Doll Factory Workers at Risk for Mesothelioma, Study Reveals
By Treven Pyles
Posted on August 22nd, 2017
Cases of mesothelioma are predominantly a result of occupational exposure to asbestos. Occupational exposure is often challenging to prove in the case of women who develop mesothelioma due to the difficulty of pinpointing the source of asbestos in their former workplaces.
Although the employment of asbestos for commercial and industrial purposes has declined substantially since 1973, when a record amount of 804,000 metric tons was consumed in the United States, mesothelioma remains a present-day disease. The only known cause of this aggressive form of cancer, which over 31,000 Americans fell victim to between 1999 and 2010, is asbestos exposure. While exposure can happen in multiple settings, people who were in direct contact with asbestos in the workplace over a duration of several years are at highest risk of developing mesothelioma - up to 10% of them will be affected by it. In fact, the vast majority of mesothelioma patients have a history of occupational asbestos exposure.
In addition to workplace asbestos exposure as the primary cause, another important mesothelioma trend refers to gender. Since the heyday of asbestos use took place between the 1930s and the 1970s, both in the U.S. and throughout Europe, the better part of the jobs which involved asbestos exposure were held down by men. As a consequence, men are 4.6 times more likely to be diagnosed with mesothelioma than women, who account for only 8% of all cases. Nonetheless, the percentage of women who develop mesothelioma as a result of occupational asbestos exposure is actually much smaller, as it is a secondary asbestos exposure which usually causes this form of cancer in the female population.
Due to such a low prevalence, mesothelioma in women is insufficiently studied, even less when it comes to female patients whose disease stems from workplace asbestos exposure. However, a recent study published in the Italian medical journal La Medicina del Lavoro reveals a series of novel aspects concerning pleural mesothelioma in doll factory workers, who had mainly been women throughout history. After analyzing the cases of three female workers who died of mesothelioma, researchers found the doll manufacturing companies they had been employed at to be the source of asbestos exposure.
During the study, the team of researchers reviewed 757 cases of mesothelioma which occurred between 1993 and 2016 using data from the Province of Brescia Mesothelioma Registry. They discovered 3 mesothelioma deaths which occurred in cloth doll factory female workers, occupational group which had been linked to this disease only by one study before. Pietrogino Barbieri, the leading researcher, decided to also reevaluate the findings of the previous study so as to assess the risk of mesothelioma in cloth doll factory workers with more accuracy.
Interestingly enough, two of the women who lost their lives to mesothelioma had worked in the same doll manufacturing facility. One of them - who was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma in 1999, at the age of 51 - would press buttons on doll clothes in the warding department, whereas the other would sew clothes with industrial sewing machines. The third woman was the employee of another cloth doll factory between 1963 and 1965. She would use sandblasting devices on various doll segments, which was bound to make any asbestos fibers lingering on them airborne. "The occurrence of two mesothelioma cases in the same company out of the three here presented was suggesting an occupational exposure", wrote Barbieri.
A large amount of amphibole asbestos fibers was found in the lung tissue of one of the doll factory workers following a judicial autopsy. Since a connection between asbestos exposure and cloth doll manufacturing had not been suspected prior to this study, the source of asbestos was classified as "unknown". Nevertheless, in the light of these recent findings, the origin of the woman's asbestos exposure was changed to "occupational certified". According to Barbieri, listing the source of asbestos exposure as "unknown" for female mesothelioma victims is a very common practice, as the disease affects preponderantly men. Moreover, occupational exposure is often challenging to prove in the case of women who develop mesothelioma due to the difficulty of pinpointing the source of asbestos in their former workplaces, which were significantly different than men's.
At the moment, there are over 3,000 confirmed sources of asbestos exposure, a large portion of which refer to occupational settings such as:
During the last century, people who had a job in one of these work sectors would breathe in incredible quantities of asbestos fibers on a regular basis, usually for multiple years in a row. As a result, they are now at high risk for mesothelioma, as well as for other serious diseases related to asbestos exposure. Because mesothelioma has a long latency period, ensuing in two to five decades from the first exposure to asbestos, the number of new cases is expected to increase through 2025.

'Nicholas Nickleby at Dotheboys Hall' is the latest production by Fringe Benefits Theatre Company and is adapted and directed by acclaimed Northern Ireland Director, Sam McCready from the Charles Dickens novel 'The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby'. The play which features a large ensemble cast of 20 actors from Fringe Benefits, is part the Dickens Centenary Festival.
Nicholas Nickleby at Dotheboys Hall follows the first part of the Dickens novel, in which the hero Nicholas and his family, following the financial ruin and death of their father are left destitute and dependent on their unscrupulous uncle, Ralph Nickleby.
Nicholas suffers extreme hardship when he is employed at Dotheboys Hall, a Yorkshire Boarding School. Nicholas with wit and resourcefulness defends the pupils against the insults and humiliations of the vicious schoolmaster Wackford Squeers and his family, who conduct a reign of terror over Dotheboys Hall. Dotheboys Hall is one of the many Victorian boarding schools to which unwanted children were sent by their parents and largely forgotten.
Sam McCready's production uses a large ensemble cast, music, movement and exciting scenic effects to sweep the audience into a world in which the power of Dickens storytelling, his lively imaginations and rich characters will delight and enthrall audiences. The adaptation is modelled on the the Royal Shakespeare Company's ground breaking version of Nicholas Nickleby.
Nicholas Nickleby at Dotheboys Hall comes to the Playhouse in Derry after it is performed at the Ulster Bank Festvial at Queens in Belfast.Tickets: £11/ £8

So my new camera has arrived, but unfortunately, the memory card was shipped separately, so it is for now unusable and I am at the mercy of the United States Postal Service - hopefully it'll get here by the end of the week and then my blog can have new photos again!
Speaking of photos, I would encourage those of my readers with an interest in photography to sign up for the "Scent of Water" photo-swap. I have participated in the first two rounds and have received lovely photos like this one:
from SleepyNeko for the "Simplicity" swap.
and this one:
from ferry girl for the "Reflections" swap.
This round's theme is "In Motion," suggested by yours truly! (So I'll have to come up with something good).
To see some more of the talent in these swaps, check out our flickr group, where you can also find instructions for joining the swap - and don't procrastinate - sign-ups close on July 7th!
If you have any questions about the swap or have decided to sign-up, let me know!

As an actor
Acting for 20 plus years in theatre, commercials, interactive plays, improv, films, and sketches, there is literally nothing he can't do. Comedy, Drama, Action, think of Ajala like a more stable Tom Cruise, with the ability of Dr. Who, wrapped in a delicious black bodice.
As a Writer
"Writing is the creative juice that leaks from my every orifice"
This famous quote not only describes Ajala's brilliance at prose, but shows the depth of his knowledge as a writer. From novels to Screenplays, Ajala has mastered the art of the narrative and is currently developing tools to help develop less worldly writers to "think" more like him.
As a Shooter/Editor
He sometimes may wear glasses but his hindsight is always 20/20. With 5+ years of DP and editing experience Ajala shoots to edit, with an eye for what makes a beautiful visual story. With or without a big production package, Ajala makes every shot stunning, and with his stellar foresight he can look back and fix the future in post.
As a Director
There rarely comes a more commanding presence. With his high, manly voice and excitable nature, this stud of a human has directed several plays, music videos, short films, web series and his own features. With an actor first approach, Ajala gets the best performance first out of his cast, then his crew. A deadly serious demeanor makes others jump to action, and his towering 5'5 body puts the Dire in Director.

Anguilla caters to a high-end crowd. There are no high-rise resorts, golf courses, amusement parks, cruise ships or casinos. There are also no forests, rivers or agricultural lands.
The island's capital is The Valley.
Anguilla Film Location Permits
All beaches are public. Although your next shoot may be taking you to Anguilla because of a celebrity client, please note, filming on the island is also restricted to preserve the privacy of its other guests.
Although there is no official film permit, having a letter of support from relevant government authorities is helpful when seeking permission to film around the island. Our Anguillian fixer will require a project synopsis and crew details. The letter of support usually takes about a week to get. With this in hand small productions can film for free, without issue in most public locations as long as they are not taking exclusive use of public space. Larger productions that seek to control traffic, lay track or set up big lights, for instance, will require additional permits and consultation with police and local authorities. Please contact us for any more location specific information.
When To Shoot?
Anguilla has a tropical climate that is hot and humid throughout the year. Evenings are tempered by northeastern trade winds. Anguilla is subject to hurricanes from July to November. For monthly weather statistics please see here.
Carnival takes place in August. Anguilla hosts regular sailing regattas and cricket matches throughout the year.
Public holidays may affect timing, availability and costs. See here for public holiday dates in Anguilla.
Costs & Tax Incentives
Costs. Local costs are very expensive. Since little to no filming infrastructure exists all key crew and equipment must be brought in from abroad. Similarly, since little is grown or produced on the island, most things need to be imported. Our Anguillian fixer will negotiate local deals and provide the appropriate level of production support to match every budget.
Tax Incentives. At present there are no tax incentives for foreign commercials or films shooting in Anguilla.
Film Crew & Talent
Crews. Anguilla has a very small pool of directors, directors of photography and stills photographers. Key crew are best brought in.

Talent day rates and buyouts are negotiable. The population is mostly Afro-Caribbean. All other talent looks need to be brought in from abroad. English is the official language.
Anguilla Film Equipment
There are no camera, lighting and grip equipment houses in Anguilla. Some locals own basic gear they may be willing to rent. Anguilla is not an ATA carnet country. Our local fixer in Anguilla is able to assist with gear and product importation if needed.
Art Department, Studios, Backlots, & Post Production
Art department and set construction is very basic.
Studios and backlots. None exist at present.
Post Production. None available locally. Post abroad.
Visas & Work Permits

If necessary, to ensure ease of entry, our Anguillian fixer / service producer will arrange for the Tourism Board to inform customs and immigration of your visit.
Transport & Accommodation
Transportation Infrastructure. Getting to Anguilla is expensive. There are no direct flights from the US. Visiting productions must either transit through Puerto Rico. Alternatively you can fly into St Martin, then taxi across that island to St Maarten, connecting with a ferry to Anguilla. Travel between Anguilla's islands is best done by private boat.
Accommodation tends to be on the more expensive side with plenty of luxury options available. Contact us for recommended film friendly hotels in Anguilla. For longer stays we can also organize serviced apartments.

Vertical stripes, horizontal stripes.. All kinds of stripes are cute and really popular in many contexts. That is why you can get yourself a striped shirt at americandreams.dk!
We are crazy about shirts with print and especially the iconic stripes. A striped shirt can go with so many things such as some plain Girlfriend jeans, a lovely and plain skirt from Neo Noir or maybe if you have a little desire to challenge the norms, one of our parts with prints. The good thing about a striped shirt is that it can appear both elegant and sophisticated, but also different depending on how it is styled. There is a lot of possibilities to style your striped shirt the way you like it.
You can style your striped shirt in countless ways and really make it appear sharp and customized to your personal style as well whether it is a long-sleeved shirt, an elegant summer top or a bold party top.
A striped shirt has typically two colors which is why you really can combine colors in your style. If we take our Katie Crepe Top as an example, the stripes are very neutral which is good because you can style it just how you want it to. It could possibly be styled with an elegant red crossover bag from our popular brand Calvin Klein, or a pair of pink suede sneakers from Pieces, or maybe something completely else? Silver, gold and various colors, you own the stage!
Some people might say that vertical stripes make you look thinner while horizontal stripes work the other way around. We just think that stripes are the finest detail on any top regardless of shape and color and we love the fact that stripes shirts are becoming so popular. Striped shirts are spotted everywhere both on children and grownups. Also, you can wear stripes both on the dance floor and at work.
It is a good idea to hand wash striped clothes to make sure your shirt does not get discolored. If you treat your shirt right you will have a faithful companion for many years and your wardrobe will be truly thankful for your decision!

Summer Dreaming
Author: Ruthie Pollard
As a New Englander I tend block out this time of year, we are after all best known for the fall. This winter has been particularly brutal with record breaking arctic temperatures, and the "bomb cyclone" snowstorm. The weather can't seem to figure out if it should be 70 or 17 degrees any given day. It makes summer feel like a distant memory.
For many people, long durations of freezing weather and darker days can be accompanied by seasonal depression or Season Affective Disorder (SAD). It can affect some people significantly by bringing on sadness, or just feeling sluggish and unmotivated.
We all handle this time of year differently and I wanted to list some great ways to beat the cold and keep your spirits up this winter!
Essential Oils:
I don't sell them, but I am tempted to start with all their success stories! Trusted friends swear by their health benefits and uplifting aroma. Putting a couple drops of your desired mood into a diffuser can change your day. Kristen Lavalley knows more about Young Living Oils then anyone I know and her social media accounts gives great informative tips. Here are some oil recommendations depending on what you need:
Frankincense- A grounding scent that helps to balance your mood.
Stress Away- A blend of lime and vanilla that smells like summer!
Lemon - Uplifting and refreshing, it wakes up the mind making you feel alert.
Joy - Calms emotions and promotes peace.
Lavender - Basically does everything. Calms, heals, helps you sleep.
Keeping in shape will help keep you motivated. I recently started the couch to 5K app and I'm proud of myself for learning to run (which has never been my thing). Running a little more every week has helped me sleep better and feel better.
Give Yourself Things to Look Forward Too:
Maybe it's time to splurge on a new pair of shoes...or if you're like me, look forward to an upcoming destination. I am currently planning a trip to Paris in April. I just love knowing that on the other side of winter a flower filled Paris awaits!
Share your feelings with a friend:
On these cold nights I would rather be a hermit. Let's be honest, staying inside all day is much more comfortable then venturing out into the frozen tundra. When we are alone for too long it can turn into loneness. Talking with close friends and making time to do fun activities can get you out of the winter rut. There is a good chance that they are feeling the same way.
Invest in Cold Gear:
Just because it's -14 outside do we need to let the cold win? I say no! Buy all the things. When you commit to buying quality winter gear it's an expensive task with long term reward. Here's a starter investment guide to keeping warm:
Light Candles at Night:
If your not into the idea of lathering yourself in essential oils. Candles at night are a good way to bring light into the room especially if it's a nice smelling candle. I love the clean scents from Anthropologie and new soy candles from Madewell.
Get Vitamin D When You Can:
With all the lack of sunlight our bodies are craving Vitamin D. Stocking up on supplements and eating foods containing Vitamin D can help your body feel better. Also, get sunlight while you can! As a teacher I have to stand outside at least 45 mins a day in rain and snow. This is a blessing in disguise as I do get a small amount of sunlight daily. If you can't get outside I have heard that it is beneficial to do light therapy using light lamps.
Uplifting Diversions:
When you are starting to feel down find good things to focus on. Watching a funny movie, getting your nails done, and enjoying a favorite meal with a friend can help brighten a dull day. Most importantly, I find it comforting to listen to worship music, read scripture, and journal my thoughts and prayers. Listening to encouraging podcasts and reading a good book with a warm drink are small moments I look forward to.
Please let me know if you have any advice for beating the winter blues!

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Merger news and Wall Street upgrades of Dow components Intel, Johnson & Johnson and Merck combined with rosy earnings reports in the financial sector to take U.S. stocks higher for a second consecutive session.
But late-afternoon selling knocked the major averages well off session highs.
"There was a large sell program in the futures markets," said Scott Curtis, head of U.S. equity trading at Credit Lyonnais, who added that investors may also have been squaring up positions ahead of testimony from Fed Chief Alan Greenspan on Tuesday.
Regardless, Art Hogan of Jefferies & Co. said market action remained impressive. "It's a pretty strong tape. Any way you slice it, we're in good shape."
Merger news from Yahoo underpinned the Internet sector Monday, while upbeat earnings news from Bank of America and Citigroup boosted financials. Red ink dripped among oil service, utility and natural gas stocks. Check market stats and latest sector performance.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.07% climbed 57.56 points, or 0.6 percent, to 9,177.15 after rising as much as 159 points during the trading day. Six of the Dow's 30 components breached 52-week highs early in the session, including Intel, Citi, American Express and J.P. Morgan Chase.
The Nasdaq Composite $COMPQ rallied 20.89 points, or 1.2 percent, to 1,754.82 to reach a fresh 15-month high while the Nasdaq 100 Index $NDX of larger-capitalization stocks sprinted 15.17 points, or 1.2 percent, to 1,295.74.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index SPX, +0.28% bulked up 0.6 percent, while the Russell 2000 Index RUT, +0.97% of small-capitalization stocks firmed 1.1 percent.
Investors remain active, with Trim Tabs estimating that U.S. equity funds had inflows of more than $2.5 billion in the latest week. And portfolio managers saw the strongest four-week infusion since March 2002.
Bernie Schaeffer, chairman and chief executive of Schaeffer's Investment Research, is more sanguine on technology stocks compared with blue chips.
Even after a tremendous rally since mid-March, a canyon still separates the Nasdaq from its peak, observed Schaeffer. The Dow is much closer to its record high as investors have favored higher-quality blue-chip names throughout the three-year bear market.
Schaeffer said investors remain extremely negative on the technology sector -- a positive sign from a contrarian standpoint.
"Caution over technology still prevails. Options activity [reveals] a lot of outright bearish bets. There's a lot of fear that the rally won't continue," said Schaeffer, who is a renowned options watcher.
Volume totaled 1.42 billion on the NYSE and 1.97 billion on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Advancers surpassed decliners by 20 to 13 on the NYSE and by 21 to 12 on the Nasdaq.
Investors too optimistic?
Richard Bernstein, Merrill Lynch's chief quantitative strategist, said only four of his 10 profit indicators suggest that earnings growth will be stronger than current expectations.
He said gauges of the market's fundamental conditions remain "quite weak." This indicates that earnings expectations for the second half of the year may be "much too optimistic."
To wade through current market conditions, Bernstein advises investors to overweight "higher-quality" assets: Companies that pay dividends and have better-than-average balance sheets.
Taking a different stand, Sherry Cooper, global economic strategist at BMO Financial Group, believes that expectations for a second-half rebound will be justified.
"Stocks have risen sharply since their lows in early October, and, for the first time since early 2002, stocks are up year-over-year. Also, for the first time since 1999, stocks have outperformed bonds," she noted.
Cooper said there's a "very good chance" the U.S. will have the strongest economy among the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations for the remainder of this year and next. "U.S. corporate balance sheets have improved and so has American competitiveness."
While Cooper acknowledges that U.S. stocks are not cheap by historical standards, she believes equities look inexpensive relative to bonds.
Bear Stearns' David Malpass expects a bounce back in inventories and business investment to drive growth during the second half of the year, which he estimates will reach 4 percent.
Upgrades lift Intel, Merck and J&J; Financials rally
Merrill Lynch raised its recommendation on Intel to "buy" from "neutral" on expectations the chip titan INTC, -1.57% would improve its gross margins. Intel, which rose 2.9 percent, will open the books on its second quarter Tuesday, and is expected to have earned 13 cents a share. Read related story.
Bear Stearns hoisted Johnson & Johnson JNJ, +1.37% to an "outperform" rating from a "peer perform" on a belief the drugmaker's valuation is attractive. J&J is expected to have made 69 cents a share when it unfurls second-quarter earnings Tuesday. Shares ended up 3.3 percent.
Finally, CIBC World Markets upped Dow component Merck MRK, -0.76% to a "sector performer" from a "sector underperformer," citing attractive valuation and a belief that the drug behemoth is likely to meet its 2003 and 2004 financial targets. The stock sprinted 0.5 percent.
In the financial sector, both Citigroup and Bank of America chimed in with better-than-expected second-quarter results.
Dow component Citi C, +0.14% topped Wall Street's expectations thanks to its credit card and mortgage lending businesses; shares swelled 2.1 percent.
Bank of America BAC, -0.07% handily surpassed second-quarter profit targets as credit losses came in at their lowest level since the first quarter 2001. Investors lifted shares 0.7 percent. See the full story.
Smith Barney institutional equity strategist Tobias Levkovich reiterated his positive stance on the financial sector, telling investors the group is "well positioned," and that there could be 15 percent to 20 percent upside from current levels.
"Improving capital markets should boost many financial companies' investment banking, brokerage and asset management results, which are coming off depressed levels," the strategist concluded.
Merger news for Yahoo, Boise; Wal-Mart climbs
The Net sector $GIN got a boost from merger news as leader Yahoo YHOO announced it was nabbing Overture Services OVE for about $1.63 billion in a deal that's expected to close in the fourth quarter. Overture rallied 11.8 percent, while Yahoo fell 2.1 percent. See the full story.
Merger activity also surfaced in the paper sector, with Boise Cascade BCC, +4.13% announcing it would snare office products retailer OfficeMax OMXS30, +0.34% for $1.2 billion. Boise fell 6.7 percent, while OfficeMax surged nearly 20 percent. Check the story.
Dow component Wal-Mart WMT, +0.41% edged up 0.2 percent after telling investors on its weekly phone update that July U.S. comparable store sales were tracking at the "high end" of its range of 2 percent to 4 percent.
Fellow blue chipper McDonald's MCD, -0.21% lost 2.9 percent after announcing that second-quarter earnings would fall in line with current analyst expectations as comparable-store sales rose 4.9 percent during the same period. See the story.
Boeing BA, -0.74% shed 1.7 percent after Continental Airlines said it would defer a portion of an airplane delivery from the Dow component. Read the story.
Gilead Sciences GILD, -0.67% led the charge higher in the biotech sector after announcing that second-quarter earnings would surpass analyst expectations thanks to strong sales growth of antiviral drug Viread. The stock ran up 13.4 percent.
A second-quarter and full-year profit warning from Cigna CI, +1.68% late Friday knocked its shares down almost 8 percent. The insurance company cited higher medical costs as reason for the expected shortfall. See the story.
And software firm Compuware Corp. CPWR, -24.62% tumbled 16.4 percent after lowering its second-quarter earnings target late Friday.
Chip equipment stocks SOX, +0.13% checked in with hefty gains as the Semicon trade show kicked off in San Francisco and San Jose on Monday. SG Cowen said it expects "cautious" optimism at the gathering. In the meantime, trade group Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International said chip equipment sales are expected to rise 4 percent in 2003 over the year-ago period. Novellus Systems climbed 5.9 percent and group leader Applied Materials charged 4.3 percent higher. See related story.
In the broader chip sector, Altera ALTR, +0.92% and Xilinx XLNX, +0.22% fell 0.1 percent and 1 percent, respectively, following downgrades from Smith Barney to "in line" ratings from "outperform" on valuation.

Treasurys nosedive
Government bonds plunged, with the 10-year Treasury note off 23/32 to yield $TNX 3.715 percent, while the 30-year government bond tumbled 1 5/32 to yield $TYX 4.755 percent. See Bond Report.
The week will be jam-packed with key economic releases, including June retail sales Tuesday morning. But Greenspan's testimony before Congress on the U.S. economy Tuesday and Wednesday is likely to be the week's most market-moving event. Check economic calendar and forecasts.
Economists say Greenspan will try to balance his remarks to appease both the bond and stock markets. That means being upbeat enough on the U.S. economy's prospects to keep equity investors happy, while conveying that interest rates will be kept at rock-bottom levels for the foreseeable future to stoke bond investors.
In the currency sector, the U.S. dollar slipped against its major trading partners, falling 0.2 percent to 117.61 yen, while the euro advanced 0.1 percent to $1.1285.

DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers took Victor Reyes in Thursday's Rule 5 draft of players left off 40-man rosters.
The Tigers claimed the outfielder from the Arizona Diamondbacks' organization. He must stay on the major league roster all season and be active for at least 90 days, or be offered back to Arizona.
Reyes, who turned 23 in October, spent all of last season with Double-A Jackson. He hit .292 with four home runs, 51 RBIs and 18 stolen bases.
Reyes made the South Atlantic League's midseason All-Star team in 2014. The Venezuela native originally signed with the Atlanta Braves as an undrafted free agent in 2011.

Hibernian manager Neil Lennon has signed a new contract that will keep him at the Easter Road club until 2020.
The former Celtic and Bolton boss replaced Alan Stubbs last summer and guided Hibs to the Ladbrokes Championship title.

I have this thing where I don't like to look at a magazine until the month starts, so last week when I opened my May Everyday Food (EDF), it was the first time I saw the spread on updating some classics or basics, which included today's recipe. Coincidentally enough, the very next day, Mary from One Perfect Bite posted this recipe featuring a similar technique. I was intrigued and I wanted to try these immediately. I made them with the brisket, and since I knew at least one person was coming who didn't like vinegar, some were the full recipe and others were just smooshed and roasted, and both have their virtues.
The salt and vinegar roasted potatoes are perfect for those who love salt and vinegar chips or fish and chips with malt vinegar. They're a wake up for your taste buds. The plain ones are for people who love roasted potatoes AND crispy skins. It's a great balance.
These potatoes take a while, but can be done over two days or in stages, which is what we did. They're also simple and feature few ingredients, which I love about the EDF recipes. They are, however, well worth it, and as with a lot of the recipes I post, the time is not labor intensive, but inactive cooking time. This is definitely a recipe going into my file as a keeper.
Salt 'n' Vinegar Roasted Potatoes
from Everyday Food, May 2011 (Issue 82)
1 1/2 lb small round or fingerling potatoes
coarse salt
2 Tb extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup malt vinegar
In a medium pot, bring the potatoes to a boil over high in salted water. Reduce the heat and cook at a rapid simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 20 minutes; drain. Place a folded dish towel on a work surface and place a potato inside. Gently smash the potato so that it is flattened but still in one piece. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
Preheat the oven to 450. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with 1 Tb oil. Place the potatoes on the sheet and brush the tops with 1 Tb oil. Bake until crisp and golden, 35 minutes, flipping them about halfway through. Remove from the oven and toss with vinegar and salt.
Just one- take care when smashing the potatoes. Drew took care of this step while I was coming home from teaching a Zumba class and they WILL fall apart if you aren't careful.

The ACT Greens today reinforced our commitment to ensure tax reform and rates concessions are made accessible to vulnerable Canberra households on low and fixed incomes.
In September last year, the Greens worked to commit the Government to conduct financial and social impact analysis on how recent tax and rates concession policy changes may affect Canberrans on low- and fixed-incomes.
"The Greens believe that our taxation system must be both economically efficient, and equitable for all Canberra residents.
"The move away from stamp duty to rates will increase the efficiency of our system, but we need to consider social justice as well.
"The Greens supported the motion today to refer these considerations to a Public Accounts Committee (PAC). It is appropriate to consider the relationship between rates charged for single residential properties and apartments.
"Given a number of existing inequities, the Greens are hopeful that the PAC enquiry will consider the concessions scheme and a range of other policy reforms to make our tax system fairer and more equitable for all Canberrans.
"For example, some rates deferment schemes, especially the Aged Deferment Scheme, are barely utilised, and remain inequitable and inaccessible. There are questions here as to whether the Government is doing enough to promote these programs to low-income households," Ms Le Couteur added.

Hey Loves,
Lets have fun today with an all black ensemble. Add dimension with texture. For this look I mixed patent which gives a wet look with a cotton body-con skirt. Bold lace that provides peaks of skin.

Preliminary Accident Reports
March 2003 Issue
December 20, Woodbury, Ct. / Piper Saratoga
At 2105 eastern time, a Piper PA-32R-301T crashed shortly after the pilot reported an in-flight fire while in cruise flight. The pilot and passenger were killed. The airplane was cruising from Rutland, Vt., to Farmingdale, N.Y., when the pilot reported the fire. The controller vectored the pilot toward Waterbury-Oxford Airport. It was five miles out descending out of 5,500 feet. The approach controller cleared it to land on any runway. The pilot entered a close-in downwind for runway 36 and the tower controller noted the engine compartment engulfed in flames. Witnesses on the ground also reported flames coming from the airplane....

Pure aluminum heat spreader for faster heat dissipation and cooler operation
Overclocking overhead is limited by operating temperature. The unique design of the Vengeance LPX heat spreader optimally pulls heat away from the ICs and into your system's cooling path, so you can push it harder.
The heat spreader doesn't just allow Vengeance LPX to run better… the aggressive yet refined form factor looks great in showcase systems.
XMP 2.0 support for trouble-free, automatic overclocking
Manually pushing your DRAM frequency can be a fun experiment, but sometimes you just want to get maximum performance without the hassle.
Intel X99-based motherboards support the new XMP 2.0 standard, and Vengeance LPX DRAM does, too. Turn it on, and it will automatically adjust to the fastest safe speed for your Vengeance LPX kit. You'll get amazing, reliable performance without lockups or other strange behavior.
Low-profile design fits in smaller spaces
When the first Mini-ITX and Micro ATX motherboards for DDR4 are released, Vengeance LPX will be ready. The small form factor makes it ideal for smaller cases or any system where internal space is at a premium.
Available in multiple colors to match your motherboard or your system
The best high-performance systems look as good as they run. Vengeance LPX is available in several colors to match your motherboard, your other components, your case… or just your favorite color.

NXT TakeOver Card (SPOILER), Johnny Gargano's Main Roster Update
NXT TakeOver Card (SPOILER), Johnny Gargano's Main Roster Update. Full card for the next NXT TakeOver event during Wrestlemania weekend.
– With the Fastlane pay-per-view behind us, Wrestlemania season is officially in full swing, and as part of the weekend's festivities in New York, there's the Hall of Fame ceremony, and of course, the NXT TakeOver event, unfolding on Friday, April 5th. All the TakeOver matches were confirmed at the most recent NXT tapings, and if you are into spoilers, the full card is below:

- Johnny Gargano will face Adam Cole for the NXT Championship, in a 2 out of 3 falls match
- Shayna Baszler will defend her NXT Women's Championship against Io Shirai, Kairi Sane, and Bianca Belair in a fatal four-way match
- Pete Dunne will defend his WWE UK Championship against WALTER
- Velveteen Dream will defend his NXT North American Championship against Matt Riddle
- War Raiders will defend their NXT Tag Team Championships against Dusty Rhodes Classic winners Aleister Black and Ricochet.
– Speaking of NXT, Johnny Gargano made a splashing main roster debut, along with Tommaso Ciampa, Ricochet, and Aleister Black, some weeks ago. Sadly, due to Ciampa's neck injury, the NXT Championship is now vacant, and as seen above, Adam Cole and Gargano will battle it out to see who will become the next NXT Champion come TakeOver: New York.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Johnny Gargano's main roster status seems "uncertain" at this point. He hasn't appeared on main roster television since Ciampa's neck injury news hit, while Ricochet and Aleister Black have been enjoying tag matches on both SmackDown LIVE and Monday Night RAW as of late.

Are you guys superheroes, @kingricochet and @aleister_black? #RAW
Seems as if Johnny Wrestling's main roster storyline was tightly linked to Tommaso, and it very well could be a waiting game at this point: if Gargano wins that NXT title, he may need to remain in developmental brand for a little while, although there still is a good chance Adam Cole could become NXT's next top guy.

Don't get *different* orange shirts. Be a brighter shade of Scott Gu. Just get a drawer full of that same shirt.
Have you seen the guy that is printing a car?
@GreenScreen - Is that a new technology?
@Matchmaking on xbox - Considering my son shares my xbox live account to play with friends on MineCraft, I'd probably get matched with other 8 year olds to play COD (might improve my normal team play,LOL)
@3d Printing - maybe we can 3d print the Channel 9 guys as it may be the only way to score one.
@Only $1,500? [15:17] - LOL
The Xbox One comes with the chat headset. Not mentioned on this episode, but nice non-the-less.

NY band The Waitresses released this boom tune in 1981 as part of a special Christmas Record and 35 years later it still packs a punch. The video is so retro kitsch its funny … but best to listen and dance.
Happy Xmas from Grintage which during the holidays is coming from Dublin, LA & Mayo!! Have a super comedy 2017 and tx for all the support in 2016.
A, B & M xx
Christmas Wrapping' – undoubtedly one of the greatest festive hits of the past 50 years, and covered by none other than Kylie – has become a cruel legacy for The Waitresses, who wrote it to please their label and eventually split because of it.
Writer Chris Butler hated Christmas. It's not just because of his rough upbringing in Ohio, where his family treated the holiday as a chance to express their distaste for each other. Nor is it simply because, as a self-confessed Scrooge, the faux jolliness has always grated against his sour demeanour. It also has something to do with 'Christmas Wrapping', the 1981 holiday hit Butler wrote with US new wave band The Waitresses. It's the reason his singular style of songwriting is best known for a Christmas song covered by the Spice Girls.
Over a decade before the likes of Liz Phair, Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney helped redefine what a female voice could say in mainstream culture, The Waitresses squeezed previously taboo topics such as social imbalance, emotional honesty and sexuality into complex pop music. So when Butler wrote a throwaway song about a busy single woman who'd rather be alone than endure Christmas, its unique perspective produced an accidental hit.
By the time the Spice Girls covered 'Christmas Wrapping' in 1998, Butler was returning to his experimental roots: recording songs using archaic equipment like wax cylinders and writing abstract poetry. "I felt all sophisticated, like an avant-garde New Yorker," he says. "Then along comes the most commercial entity in the fucking world covering a song of mine. It felt… awkward." But, in a way, the song is emblematic of The Waitresses: witty, off-kilter pop offering sociological snapshots from a female perspective. Butler had no interest in formulaic love songs. Instead he would channel his songwriting through a 'big sister' protagonist – a "working woman with big dreams" – to articulate issues that, he says, most men were clueless about.

Legacy web application re-engineering using Node JS for a large credit bureau agency
One of the largest credit bureau agencies in the US, generating close to a million confidential credit summary reports every day, approached us with issues in product performance, code maintainability, design problems, poor user experience and outdated legacy frameworks, resulting in a maintenance nightmare due to coding complexities.
As custodians of critical customer data, the financial services company had to adhere to many stringent security measures that had limited their scope of introducing many modern technologies and tools in their web application - a perfect situation for AccionLabs to get involved and do what is best fit for the product re-engineering efforts at the company.
All our efforts - in-depth deep dive sessions, proof-of-concept, and solution re-engineering - were done keeping in mind the existing legacy framework. This case study is an example of how Node.js with proven flexibility features can be innovatively used as an API gateway.
Generating more than a million credit reports every day
The company works with many partners and associates that provide customer data points to create customized credit summaries and credit scores for more than a million customers every day. It provides credit reports, flood zone reports, and mortgage reports to the customers. It also aggregates reports from multiple vendors. Developed by the company more than a decade ago, the B2B web application has credit reporting services as the core business model and credit reporting platform as their main product.
The unique feature of the application is that it is easily customizable based on requirement requests from partners and customers. This resulted in several change requests that had been accommodated for over the years. As custodians of sensitive financial data on individuals, data security was their paramount concern as the report mentions the credit card details, SSN number and transaction details that could not be compromised at any cost. This was another reason that they had kept away from any re-engineering effort.
Monolithic tightly coupled architecture
The technology they were using had a monolithic architecture, and their data and presentation layer was tightly bundled as a single application. They used an ancient technology called Java servlets. This made it difficult for the company to find engineers who could work and improvise on the current technology framework. In addition, the features and customizations done for each and every client for more than a decade had made the codebase extremely complex. They had to support old browsers as the company had no idea on the type and version of browsers being used by their partners. Also, even if they were aware, the partners were using old browsers on purpose, controlled by network admins, for security reasons. Hence, legacy browsers such as IE8 had to be supported as well.
Another major challenge was that the application was insecure as per current technology standards and it did not have the capabilities to support any major modern day attacks. Therefore, we had to help the client move forward to a newer technology base that supported modern defense mechanisms. Another major issue was the project execution methodology - they had implemented the waterfall model of software development, instead of the agile methodology in projects that we use (we prefer it because of its action-oriented nature). Therefore, AccionLabs had to completely revolutionize the way they worked on software projects.
The absence of any documentation for web applications made it trickier. Only a few business analysts knew the product well, but the information from that source was limited. Finally, we had to go back to the code and figure out how the platform performed.
Microservices in action
Once we stepped in, we introduced the REST-based service-oriented architecture. Their existing framework was broken down into two layers - a business layer and a presentation layer as two different entities instead of a single bundled-up application. The business layer would just expose REST APIs that returned JSON and the presentation layer, which would be a separate entity and would only deal with rendering data in an HTML format. As a solution, we additionally introduced Node.js as an API gateway and server-side rendering engine - this is a unique concept of using Node.js as an API gateway. This is how it works: The API gateway gets called by the front-end that aggregates the JSON responses from granular backend REST services. It also determines browser capabilities and accordingly either responds with JSON or server-side rendered HTML.
We enhanced the user experience with JQuery and Jquery UI, along with other plugins. We could not use modern day frameworks because of the browser compatibility requirements. We also enhanced security features using modern day frameworks. This helped us plug the risk of major security attacks such as XSS attacks, cross-site scripting attacks, SQL injection attacks, csrf attacks, session hijacking, along with many others. Therefore, the application became much more secure than the older version.
Modern technology stack
In the tech stack, on the UI side, we used HTML5, CSS3, Handlebars JS as our template rendering engine; the javascript library included JQuery and JQuery UI.
On the business side, we used Java, Spring MVC Framework, Spring Security, and on a separate server, we also used Node.js that uses Express JS as its REST API framework and their allied process managers and build tools. The client's database was left unchanged apart from a few fields that were added. Their infrastructure was on premise as data security has been of high priority for their business - this was one of the key reasons they had been avoiding moving to the cloud. On the DevOps side, we used Maven as a build tool, SVN as a version management tool, Jasmine and JUnit for unit testing, Jenkins and RunDeck for CICD pipeline and an F5 load balancer and Splunk for log management. For project and defect management, we used JIRA.
Using Node.js Server as API gateway
Node.js is efficient at managing services that require a lot of throughput and bandwidth. Therefore, they can be used for core mission-critical backend services. The Node.js server makes the same request to the application server whenever a request is made to it. As part of doing that, it also aggregates the APIs. Hence, if the UI needs a page to be loaded, it will call only one REST endpoint on Node.js and the Node.js can be used to call multiple granular backend service APIs. So, it acts as an API gateway. Simultaneously, Node.js is also cognizant of the browser features that are being supported. It determines the capabilities of the browser - simply put, whether the browser can handle the modern day frameworks or not. If IE8 or IE9 was being deployed, it would switch to server-side rendering. Additionally, we created UI templates in handlebars. The rendering process involved handlebars, which are UI templates, combined with JSON (data) with HTML output.

It could be defined as Young Creative Cuisine with Thai Roots with touches from many international origins. And here 'Young' doesn't mean amateur - both head chefs at Le Du have a surprising culinary background.

We've searched high and low but no-one matches La Table de Tee for quality, value and atmosphere in Bangkok. The small restaurant is situated down a back alley on Soi Sala Daeng, just a few minutes from the BTS and MRT stops on Silom Road. The street outside is typical for this area, slightly run-down and a bit grubby, but once you step inside the glass-fronted restaurant, you soon forget about the city noise.

Seven Spoons is fully booked every night, serving a range of Mediterranean and vegetarian dishes. The reason behind its popularity is simple. With delicious food, strong cocktails and a warm atmosphere, Seven Spoons is a rare find in the city, a restaurant with real soul and prices so low that you will be doing a double-take when they bring you the bill. Seven Spoons is almost too good to share, and despite its popularity it still feels like a fantastic secret.

- Address: 211 Chakkrapatipong Road, Intersection of Lan Luang Road
- Tel: +66 (0)2 6284588 or +66 (0)84 5391819
Steve Cafe
I found one of the best hidden restaurants of Bangkok purely by chance as I was exploring the surroundings of the Thewet area, north of the Grand Palace. Steve Cafe & Cuisine is tucked away on the riverside, far from busy streets, with no easy access and with no big signage. It's almost as if you have to be worthy to find it. Of course it's not an unknown restaurant, since it opened in 2012 word of mouth spread the good news that Steve Cafe has got everything just right, guaranteeing its sucess. It is now recommended that you call in advance if you come for dinner - People love discovering little secret places like this.

Thanying Restaurant
So you heard of Royal Cuisine and are wondering where to find the real thing and not end up in a tourist trap? Or if this one meal is going to cost such royal sum you will have to eat plain rice for the rest of your holiday? If you're not careful it could! Fortunately, we know a small restaurant hidden in Silom area which serving exactly what you are looking for and it won't even cost you an arm and a leg: Thanying, a delightful restaurant owned by M.R. Sorut Visuddhi, son of Princess Sulabh. Royal cuisine doesn't mean overly complicated dishes, but requires using only the best fresh ingredients, an elegant presentation and everything cut so that a guest never has to use a knife, the fish should be absolutely boneless and many other details that help to make the distinction between food and cuisine.
