MWC highlights: Google, Facebook and Apple intensify, WebRTC creates opportunity to evolve and 2-factor authentication grows
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Feb. 11, 2014) - Awaiting the world's biggest trade show and conference for mobile trends at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, tyntec, a mobile interaction specialist, today announced its top 2014 predictions for the global telecom industry. tyntec exhibits during Mobile World Congress at hall 7, stand C80 from February 24-27, 2014.
tyntec forecasts that 2014 will be the year of stronger mobile-to-mobile communication offerings from tech heavyweights like Apple, Facebook, and Google, who will continue to invest millions in mobile communications technology to enhance the mobile experience. Simultaneously, operators will witness the launch of standards and technologies like WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communications) and VoLTE (Voice over LTE), which will play a contributing role in accelerating the OTT (Over The Top) ecosystem.
While the respective appearance of these new standards and technologies will create equal opportunities for both OTT players and operators alike, they will also turn up the pressure on the largely defeated RCS-e/Joyn initiative. On the already tense European regulation front, 2014 will see an increased tension between OTT and operators causing more upheaval for MNOs (Mobile Network Operators).
"Mobile World Congress is the place to discuss and discover latest trends in the mobile industry and I have high expectations for lively discussions at the show. One hot topic will be WebRTC which will extend potential-for-growth to both OTT players and operators, while creating extra opportunity for operators to evolve. 2014 is a challenging year with the introduction of new EU roaming regulations that will bring OTTs and operators into further competing situations, causing more layoffs and consolidation for operators," said Thorsten Trapp, Co-Founder and CTO of tyntec. "I'm confident there will be a tremendous focus on One-Time Passwords as a mechanism to authenticate user identity and there will be a massive adoption from all types of businesses and Internet companies this year."
tyntec 2014 trends and predictions highlights:
• OTT providers beef-up mobile messaging
In 2013, Silicon Valley's elite players increased their stake in mobile with various rollouts of mobile messaging capabilities. For instance, Apple's iMessage, Google's Hangouts on Android phones, Facebook's revamped Messenger and most recently, Instagram direct. The appeal with these types of mobile-to-mobile communications capabilities is that internet players are able to link phone numbers to online accounts, enabling users to communicate with the entire network via their mobile application. As a result, the reach of messaging capabilities provided by these applications will squash those of traditional offerings provided through mobile operators, who will continue to see their SMS revenues tumble. There will be a continued investment in 2014 from internet players to increase functionality and adoption of their messaging services.
• VoLTE: unexclusive voice and data benefits for operators
Mobile operators are under no illusion that OTT communications will have a financial impact on their industry. More consolidations, like those seen by European MNOs, will be imminent for operators who continue to sidestep partnering opportunities. In an attempt to regain their footing, many will flock to VoLTE, a standards-based technology that supports VoIP calls over the LTE network.
Helping to unite the voice and data value chains for MNOs, VoLTE will allow operators to increase internal efficiency by moving voice off of old networks to data apps. Leveraging operators' competitive differentiator -connectivity- VoLTE will allow operators to deploy more quality voice, video calls, and messaging by linking directly to phone numbers.
In 2014, operators will plan to roll out VoLTE devices to help cut operating costs and compete with OTT applications based on quality. The twist is that the improvements of the network due to VoLTE won't just be exclusive to operators, but will be available to OTT providers for inclusion into their offerings as well.
• WebRTC spurs innovation and creates opportunity for operator evolution
According to a recent survey conducted by mobilesquared, 36% of MNOs and MVNOs around the world are uncertain of the impact Joyn will have on their ability to tackle OTT players. This survey confirmed Trapp's previous year predictions when he identified major hurdles that RCS-e would have to overcome in order to succeed, all of which have come to fruition.
Supported by Google, Mozilla and Opera, WebRTC enables real-time communications using a web browser without the need to download plug-ins. 2014 will be the year that WebRTC fosters easy-to-access innovation in communication. Because it will emerge as a standardized functionality for all browsers, the process for web developers to include OTT voice and video will become super simplified. WebRTC will act as an accelerant, speeding up the OTT ecosystem and put mounting pressure on the GSMA's RCS standard.
The combination of WebRTC standardization and sonic OTT growth will further amplify pressures for operators and result in additional revenue loss. Operators that embrace the new standards and technology will be the ones best positioned to take advantage and create future monetization models for it.
• Securing data in the cloud: two factor authentication adoption rate will skyrocket in 2014
2013 proved to be a climactic one for hackers with more than two million reported account breaches from various websites including Facebook and Twitter according to analysts at Trustwave1.
Hacks targeting companies, especially those in social media, will become more aggressive and premeditated with mobile devices magnifying these target groups even more. To help combat hacks in 2014, internet companies will continue embracing SMS-based two factor authentication (2FA), and is anticipated to experience a 50% adoption rate, globally.
User demand for personal data protection on individual accounts will increase, compelling business leaders to focus and integrate reliable security measures. SMS-based two factor authentication will be recognized as the most effective tool in combatting security breaches and acceptance will surge across various vertical markets.
Banking, online shopping retailers and companies dealing with monetary transactions will be the markets driving the most growth for 2FA because of the need to protect transactions and personal data. Additionally, real-time location identification will be the natural progression of 2FA, placing another barrier before hackers.

Nothing evokes a period more vividly, or instantaneously, than music, and the producers of the HBO Prohibition drama 'Boardwalk Empire' have made canny use of vintage songs, both on-camera and off-, since their series began. Now some of the best selections have been gathered in a delightful CD (also available for download on iTunes) that features my favorite band, Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks, and a number of supremely talented singers who manage to vocally capture a bygone musical era.
Several of Giordano's instrumentals are low-down blues as they might have been played in the earliest days of the Prohibition era, including "Livery Stable Blues" and "Mournin' Blues." The band gets peppier as they back up Stephen Derosa (channeling Eddie Cantor) on "The Dumber They Come The Better I Like 'Em" and George M. Cohan's "Life is a Funny Proposition After All," Regina Spektor singing "My Man," Catherine Russell (invoking Bessie Smith) warbling "Crazy Blues," Kathy Brier doing her best Sophie Tucker on "Some of These Days" and "Don't Put a Tax on the Beautiful Girls," Nellie McKay on "Wild Romantic Blues," and Martha Wainwright singing "All By Myself." Loudon Wainwright III changes the pace with the plaintive Irish "Carrickfergus," and Leon Redbone brings his low-key charm to "The Sheik of Araby."
When Vince and the Nighthawks play "Japanese Sandman," you'd swear you were listening to a modern-day recording by Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra, who made that tune a sensation (and put themselves on the map) back in 1920. Yet Giordano's recreations never sound pat or lifeless: his musicians infuse each performance with vitality and meaning.
'Boardwalk Empire' creator and executive producer Terence Winter contributes liner notes that reveal his passion for this music and his understanding of what it contributes to his show. I love this compilation and can't wait for Volume 2.

For the first time in almost a century, Missourians will see their income tax reduced.
It's not every day that a state legislature defies its governor in the name of pro-growth income tax reductions. But that's exactly what happened in the Show Me State this week thanks to votes of 109-46 in the House and 23-8 in the Senate to override a veto by Governor Jay Nixon.
Last year, in a similar scenario, lawmakers were unable to buck Nixon's rejection of income tax cuts. This time around, Republican lawmakers and a single Democrat stuck together to make income tax relief a reality.
With SB 509 in place, income taxes for hardworking Missourians will be lowered by $620 million annually, starting in 2017, and small business owners will benefit from a 25 percent tax cut. Additionally, taxpayers making less than $20,000 annually will receive an extra $500 personal exemption.
By gradually lowering the top income tax rate to 5.5 percent, lawmakers have created a more competitive tax climate amongst neighboring states such as Kansas and Oklahoma, where top marginal rates are 4.9 and 5.25 percent, respectively.
SB 509 is not on par with North Carolina's tax reform; however, the bill represents a step in the right direction that will allow taxpayers to keep more of their hard-earned money to spend, save, or invest. And by lightening the tax load on small businesses, entrepreneurs will have additional resources to create jobs and expand operations. This historic tax cut package is truly a victory for the people of Missouri.

BBC America's "Orphan Black" will air its twist-laden season two finale this Saturday at 9 p.m., and Variety has a first look image from the climactic episode, which sees embattled grifter Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany) forced to surrender herself to the shadowy Dyad Corporation in the hope of rescuing her daughter, Kira (Skyler Wexler).
In the exclusive photo below, Sarah comes face to face with Dr. Nealon, a Dyad insider who makes the dearly departed Dr. Leekie look like a paragon of virtue and restraint. Dyad has been hot on Sarah's trail since the show began, and now that they have her in custody, you can be sure that their plans for our fertile heroine involve more than sitting down for a soothing cup of tea.
Variety got a chance to preview Saturday's finale, and while this season has been a roller coaster of plot twists and emotional scenes, the biggest are most assuredly still to come. The episode gives Cosima in particular a chance to shine, despite the scientist's rapidly deteriorating health.
One of the many joys of "Orphan Black" — in addition to Tatiana Maslany's consistently compelling, multifaceted performance — is seeing how creators Graeme Manson and John Fawcett challenge themselves in terms of technical effects and clone-on-clone confrontations. It's safe to say the finale takes those ambitions to new heights.
"We are constantly trying to push the envelope and trying to figure out what is the next most challenging thing that we could try. How many clones can we stick in one scene? How much interaction can we actually get? How dynamic can we make the blocking to really incorporate the moving camera?" Fawcett told Variety following the "Orphan Black" panel at the recent ATX Festival in Austin.
Pro-clone Rachel will also have a chance to prove whether or not she's as villainous as she appears, now that she has Kira in her clutches. The show's creators have slowly been peeling back the layers of the icy, reproductively-challenged businesswoman this season, but her ultimate goals remain fairly opaque.
"It's nice to see the places where she's weak or she's human or where she shows actual emotion to us," Fawcett noted in Austin. "She starts life in our minds as kind of the villain. Here's our good guy, here's our bad guy. But that's kind of how Helena started off too. The deeper you go with a character, the more you hang flesh on it, the more real it becomes and the less villainous she is because you start to see the living, breathing human underneath it."
As "Orphan Black" has so often proved over the course of its ambitious run so far, nothing is ever exactly how it appears, so expect the unexpected when "By Means Which Have Never Yet Been Tried" airs Saturday, June 21 at 9 p.m. on BBC America.

|Draft Asian Development Bank (Seventh Replenishment of the Asian Development Fund) Order 2001
Mr. Michael Trend (Windsor): I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Hertford and Stortford (Mr. Wells) on an excellent speech. As always in such matters, he is superbly well informed. His contributions were heartfelt, and he stirred an interest in me that I did not know that I possessed. There will be a serious adverse effect when he is no longer here.
I have only two points to make. First, I do not know how our interests are looked aftera substantial sum of public money is involved. My hon. Friend referred to our directors, but what representation do we have in the bodies? What systems of monitoring ensure that the money is being spent correctly? Will the Minister tell me what the position is, and whether he is satisfied with current arrangements or wishes them to be reviewed?
My second point concerns the procedure around the order. I am not a conspiracy theoristor only an amateur one, compared with the Ministerand I was alarmed to receive clerkly advice that the Committee might be concerned about
The procedure was apparently considered in 1989 by the Select Committee on Statutory Instruments in its sixth report. The Committee found
10.37 am
Dr. Jenny Tonge (Richmond Park): I, too, shall be brief because it is not really possible to follow the hon. Member for Hertford and Stortford. He has such a wealth of experience that he knows more than most of us about such matters.
I had highlighted exactly the same section on procedure that the hon. Member for Windsor (Mr. Trend) mentioned. I love the sentence that says that something
Later in the same paragraph, the document says:
My concern is further prompted because the Chinese, who are a pretty inscrutable people, abstained. At the Asian development bank approval meetingthe donors' meetingall voted in favour of the measure except the People's Republic of China. It abstained because, in its view, the donors' report contained proposals that deviated from the bank's mandate and violated the agreement establishing it. After listening to the hon. Member for Hertford and Stortford, I am quite interested to know, as we should, what the Chinese objections were. It would be interesting if their objections were similar to ours.
I endorse what has been said. Of course, the poverty focus is welcome. The new focus is in line with everything that the Department for International Development is saying. I also welcome the determination to ensure that the poorest people in India get a look-in from the Asian development bank. Even if Governments are moderately good, it is not always possible to help the poorest people in the country, who need to be helped.
Most important, I endorse what was said about anti-corruption measures. My two years on the Select Committee on International Development opened my eyes to that problem in a big way. The hon. Gentleman will agree that the experiences and stories that we heard in Bangladesh and India were quite extraordinary. The extent of corruption must be seen and heard about to be believed. It grieves me greatly to think that all the money that we have given over the years has been pouring into the pockets of very rich people on the Asian sub-continent.
We must therefore be assured that good and watertight procedures are put in place to prevent corruption. We had talks in Bangladesh with Transparency International. It also exists in the west and gave evidence to the Select Committee for its recent report. We must take corruption seriously, because money does not grow on treeswe have to work hard for it. It is our job as a Parliament to ensure that taxpayers' money is used in the right way and not wasted.
The hon. Gentleman gave the good example of the waste water management project in Thailand, which says everything about how such projects go wrong. It was in the wrong place, people were not consulted, the wrong people were involved and money was siphoned off into corrupt officials' pocketsall the problems that we are worried about with the Ilusu dam project. The same story pertains to it. We must ensure that the Asian development bank, and particularly our contributions to it, are not used for corrupt practices. I welcome the measure, but I ask the Minister to give us the assurances that we want.
10.42 am
Mr. Mullin: I shall do my best to reply to the range of points that have been made, starting with the thoughtful speech by the hon. Member for Hertford and Stortford. As he acknowledged, many of his points came from our document, so we are on the case. He said that he was deeply concerned at the lack of transparency of the regional banks in general, but he acknowledged that huge progress has been made and paid tribute to my predecessor, the name of whose constituency I shall not attempt to pronounce. I, too, pay tribute to the role that my predecessor and our officials have played in the progress achieved so far.
The hon. Gentleman mentioned problems such as lack of accountability and transparency, and duplication of effort. He said that some of the bank's past activities had been incoherent and unfocused and that it did not consult other donors. We acknowledge all those problems. Indeed, we identified them some time ago, and the bank's management is addressing them. Within three weeks of taking office, Mr. Tadao Chino, the new managing director, announced this change and the concentration on the poverty reduction focus. He has proceeded on that basis ever since. Obviously, that is quite a big ship to turn round, so I cannot make any great claims that everything is sorted. I can say only that we are alive to the problems, as is the management of the bank, and that we are doing all that we can to make the changes that every sensible person involved in the matter agrees are necessary.
It is true that a change away from big infrastructure programmes and towards social development is needed. The hon. Member for Hertford and Stortford mentioned investing in women's health and the education of girls, something that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has spoken about many times. Often the most effective intervention is to educate women. Once that has been done, there is a good chance of educating the next generation of women. It is also likely that those women will have children a little later in life, which will help in dealing with some of the other serious problems faced in the third world.
Any hon. Member who has visited Asia will know that women work rather harder, on the whole, and that they are rather more effective, at ground level, than most men. Among the bank's major tasks is decentralising. It has been rightly criticised as tending to be Manila-based and remote from many of the countries to which it has lent. That no doubt accounts for some of the difficulties and contradictions that have arisen over the years.
Decentralisation of course requires a change of culture among personnel. It will presumably also, in some cases, mean a change of personnel. A different mix will be needed. Experts on large infrastructure projects will not be the only people needed. People who know about governance, regulation and the social sector will be required. DFID is assisting with the reorganisation and is helping to provide some of the skills that everyone acknowledges are necessary.
The hon. Gentleman was not quite correct in suggesting that India and China have access to Asian development fund money. It is true that the bank has big programmes in China and India, but those are on ordinary capital resource termsnearly market terms. They are not on concessional terms from the Asian development fund. We regret that. There are large concentrations of the poorest people in the world in India and China.
I said in my opening remarks that one of our objectives had not been achieved. The objective in question, for which we argued strongly, was the extension of funding to India from the Asian development fund. Regrettably, we were not able to persuade our American and Japanese colleagues. However, we still believe strongly that a country the size of India, with so many poor peopleand which has made significant progress over the yearsshould have access to the funds, especially since concessional funds flow to other countries that one might argue are not as well qualified to receive them as India.
The hon. Gentleman mentioned the need to co-ordinate with other donors and to become involved in poverty reduction strategies. We wholly endorse that idea and we expect that it will happen as the bank decentralises. Inevitably, once bank officials are based in the regions and countries to which they are lending, they will mix and liase with other donors a great deal more than in the past. We believe that that process is under way.
The hon. Gentleman mentioned problems with the Bangladesh electricity programme, which he has previously raised with the Department. One of my officials wrote to him after the subject came up in evidence before his Select Committee. I cannot update him off the top of my head. Our well-oiled machine managed this morning, at very short notice, to recover that letter, dated 30 July 1999, but we were not able to contact our staff in Bangladesh to find out the latest situation. I undertake to do that and will send him a letter to update him.
Our fundamental objective is to make sure that the changed objectives of the bank are met, and we shall do our best to achieve that. We are encouraged by the appointment of Mr. Tadao Chino, and by the actions that he has taken almost from the moment he arrived. The hon. Member for Hertford and Stortford asked about the fact that a large percentage of the outstanding loans relates to Indonesia. So far as we are aware, there have been no defaults in Indonesia. He also asked about the Samut Prakarn waste water treatment plant, and raised some serious concerns about it. The bank's lending to Thailand has been on non-concessional terms, so that does not strictly come within the scope of today's discussion.
The bank's inspection committee is investigating complaints that have been made. Our alternate director is a member of that committee and we shall follow closely the results of the investigation. It is too early for me to prejudge it. The hon. Member for Maidenhead[Interruption.] I beg the pardon of the hon. Member for WindsorI knew it was somewhere very posh anyway. The hon. Gentleman asked about our representation.

Modern And Unconventional Ideas For Your Clearwater, FL Wedding Venues
Modern Wedding Venue Ideas
Stacking options for the upcoming wedding is really needed because the venues are essential factor for the success of the whole event. Some couples are unable to book their perfect locations because they don't have enough options here in Clearwater, FL.
If you are looking for best options for a modern wedding, this post will be of big help. You can start the list with a country house venue. Most couples are tying the knot in urban venues like hotels and cathedrals these days. However, not much attention is given to country houses. This location is perfect for couples who are looking for low key and more intimate setting. Since this is an exclusive location, it is ensured that the place is quiet, romantic and refreshing especially when you are surrounded by family members and friends.
The next in the list is the rooftop urban reception. This option is great for couples who don't want to go out of the city just to tie the knot. For the venue to really look ultra modern and romantically clean, you can borrow ideas from modern florists where they design the place with petals arranged in clean lines. This style is not as grandiose as what you can see in ballroom weddings but it is minimalistic and needless to say affordable. In short, no need for bells and whistles, just simple and clean flower arrangements for the venue situated at the rooftop of your favorite building in Clearwater.
Massive rooms are really perfect for a reception event. However, one of their downfalls is they feel empty when not decorated properly. To fill this decor gap, ask your decorator to make use of draped fabric. Modern weddings are usually characterized with draped fabric so you can never wrong with it. For more draped fabric reception inspiration, you can check the portfolios of modern venue decorators ahead. The fire of discovery doesn't let you sit idle, you want to learn more of it when you already know about this. Quite simply, the topic has excessive amount of related data available. Nevertheless, it is difficult to acquire high-grade content. Details on this topic, click for more info.
Another good feature of a modern venue is making use of the loft setup. Most couples are not really aware of this option so you can take advantage of this one to forge a unique experience for your guests. To match your loft venue, jazz it up a bit by utilizing ghost chairs. This decor option will surely complement the loft setting. Your guests will surely admire your creativity and effort in the venue.
A modern wedding is not complete without making use of modern technology. Most reception events have runners. However, modern events don't need them anymore; they are being replaced with projectors. Before booking the venue, please consult with the management regarding their tools and equipment for the venue like lights, sounds and projectors.
Wedding planning is ironic because it is both satisfying and energy draining. If you are preparing to select more unique venues, researching is the best solution. Your planners will have the best suggestions since they are familiar of the best locations in Clearwater, FL.

We have worked with companies from across the globe, spanning multiple verticals and industries. We understand your business like no one else.
We don't just answer phone calls and reply to emails. We partner with your team to give you the much needed competitive advantage. An outside perspective from an outsourcing leader like us can lend tremendous advantage to your business. We help you deliver innovative solutions to common problems. Our omni-channel, 24/7/365 call center is ready for a brilliant customer engagement every time.
The common approach to lowering costs is to simply engage any one of the many offshore call center outsourcing companies out there. But what good does it do to lower cost and compromise on quality. Business owners want to reduce cost without impacting revenue or the brand's image. Our clients partner with us for enhanced quality output. Cost benefit is a given. At 31West, we focus on cost optimization without compromising on the quality. We help your business grow.
Our aim is to bring value to our clients' businesses. We focus on:
- Improving customer satisfaction
- Bringing in process efficiencies
- Plug value leakage
- Cost optimization
We strongly believe that cost saving should never mean poor quality.
The advantage of lower cost from an outsourced call center is default. We understand your business processes and identify opportunities to bring in improvements which will add to your bottom line. Such a comprehensive approach ensures high profitability and better competitive advantage.
All our efforts are focused on bringing in accelerated growth. We are the first point of contact for your company. While interacting with your customers, we are able to precisely pinpoint the areas of improvement, strengths and weaknesses. We carry your brand and ensure it surpasses everyone's expectations. We evaluate every customer interaction. Our quest is to identify what makes your customers happy and how best it can be delivered. When you entrust your call center outsourcing services to our company, we work along with your team to achieve accelerated growth.
We have a short ramp up time, which is another key factor that plays a vital role in accelerating growth. The modern business environment is very dynamic. You need to continually adapt yourself based on the feedback and other factors to match up with customer demands. We understand this and maintain a small bench to accommodate the need for a quick scale up.
Continually evolving technology can be a major cost factor for you. Constant upgradations and investment in the latest hardware and software can be a financial burden. At the outsourced call center, you have the best technology, infrastructure and teams. We are always on top of innovation to bring out the best services. We offer technologically advanced call center outsourcing services that aid in better customer support and efficiency for you. We maintain redundancy at all levels of call center outsourcing. Our redundant call center infrastructure guarantees zero down time and smooth service delivery.
One main concern that clients have about call center outsourcing companies is the ability to understand foreign accents and speak in a clear accent that is well understood. 31West being one of the top call center outsourcing companies, every agent of ours undergoes extensive voice and accent training. We ensure our agents are trained well to be able to understand popular accents spoken around the world. Our agents are also trained to speak in clear and neutral accent, so they are easily understood by everyone from any part of the world. Our call center outsourcing reps also undergo a thorough training in different cultures and professional conduct on phone, email chat and social media. These factors make us one of the most sought after choice for call center outsourcing in India.
Another common hurdle which can make or break any outsourced call center engagement is the transitioning of processes. Often times, it can get really challenging. Especially if the support process is managed by another call center outsourcing company or even by your in-house team. The dynamics involved in migrating processes in both scenarios is different and so is our approach.
During the migration of processes managed in-house, our focus is to bring together documentation and knowledge. Generally speaking, such documentation either does not exist or it is with people working in silos. We need to bring all this information under one umbrella. Then, classify them into important and unimportant bits. Arrange them in multiple orders based on business functions etc. The most important part is to stitch them together such that it can be clearly understood by our team without ambiguity. We have a professional team of floor managers and account managers who have managed multiple such migrations successfully.
When transitioning processes which are managed by another company, we try and understand your dissatisfaction with your current provider and check out the call center outsourcing costs, quality, domain knowledge, performance consistency and down times to pinpoint the reason. It is important to set the expectations right at the beginning of the call center outsourcing services. Call center outsourcing works like magic only when both parties know and understand what to expect of the other.
Once we have a clear picture of what all is missing with your existing provider, we begin transitioning information from the current provider to our center. We validate all content. A lot of content is verified and the old, irrelevant and duplicate ones are discarded. Knowledge base is reorganized to match our training methodology. Once this step is completed, we ask you to quickly verify the content to avoid mistakes in transitioning and/or understanding by the current providers. We are one of the top call center outsourcing companies and our team of experienced floor managers and account managers are champions of such processes having undertaken multiple successful migrations. You are in good hands as far as call center outsourcing is concerned!!
As per 2017 global contact center survey by Deloitte, 93% of industry experts expect the contact volume to remain constant or increase by 2020. With so many call center outsourcing companies out there, it may be overwhelming to choose the best one for your business. Don't let the search be endless and result in delays. Stop right here, give us a shout out, talk to us about your goals and challenges, so we can help you with your call center outsourcing. We are the preferred outsourcing vendor for 100s of American SMBs and we are helping them grow every day. We can help you too! Our sales team is always available to understand your requirements and build a custom quote with call center outsourcing prices just apt for your business.

Four Methods:Basic Cooked LentilsVegetable Lentil SoupFresh Lentil SaladMegadarraCommunity Q&A
Green or brown lentils, sometimes known as continental lentils, are high in protein, iron and fiber, making them a healthy staple for vegetarian diets. Unlike red split lentils or yellow lentils, they don't fall apart when they're cooked.

Basic Cooked Lentils
- 1 cup dried green or brown lentils, picked and rinsed
- 1 1/2 cups water
- salt and pepper
Vegetable Lentil Soup
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chopped white onion
- 1 large carrot, chopped and peeled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound dried green or brown lentils, picked and rinsed
- 1 cup stewed, chopped tomatoes
- 1 1/2 quarts vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
Fresh Lentil Salad

Basic Cooked Lentils
1Pick over and rinse dried lentils. Dried lentils, especially when bought from a bulk food bin, often have tiny stones mixed in. Sift through the lentils and pick out any materials that don't belong. Rinse the lentils in a colander with tight holes.
2Pour the washed lentils into the cooking saucepan.
3Pour the water over the lentils. Bring to the boil.
4Lower the heat once boiling. Simmer for about 40-45 minutes. Stir the lentils occasionally. The lentils are cooked when the water has been absorbed and they taste tender.
5Remove from the heat and drain well. They lentils can be simply seasoned to taste with salt and pepper, or use them in a recipe requiring brown or green lentils.
- Add to warm salads, casseroles, and stuffing.
- Add pureed to soups.
- Combine with white rice or bulgur wheat for a side dish.
- Mash to form a vegetarian pâté.
Vegetable Lentil Soup
1Pick over and rinse the lentils.
2Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
3Sauté the onion and carrot. Stir the vegetables occasionally and allow to Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
4Stir in the salt, lentils, vegetable broth, tomatoes and spices. Bring the soup to a boil, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to low.
5Cook the soup for 40 minutes. Taste the soup and add more salt and other seasonings if needed. Serve with bread or crackers.
Fresh Lentil Salad
1Pick over and rinse the lentils.
2Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the lentils. Put a lid on the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain when finished.
3Make the dressing. Stir the oil, vinegar, mustard, and garlic together in a small bowl.
4Compose the salad. Combine the lentils, tomato, and onion in a bowl. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss. Serve as a side dish or main course for lunch.
1Pick over and rinse the lentils.
2Heat half the olive oil in a skill. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are dark brown and carmelized. Remove them from heat.
3Combine the lentils and water in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then cover the saucepan and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook for fifteen minutes.
5Make the dressing. Combine the remaining olive oil, the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, and spices in a bowl.
6Place the lentils in a serving bowl. Spread the caramelized onions on top. Serve with the yogurt dressing.
Community Q&A
QuestionDo they need to soak overnight?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerNope. Unlike dry beans, you can just pour them right out of the bag into the saucepan, though you'll want to pick through and make sure there are no rocks.

AR, VR tech poised to revolutionize digital business management
We've all seen footage of astronauts being trained for space travel in virtual environments, and many of us were sucked into the augmented world of Pokémon Go when it debuted over the summer. It's the business world's turn to catch up now. Companies are using AR and VR tech to boost productivity, allow remote collaboration and improve training. But questions remain as to whether these technologies will provide real digital business management value to companies. We try to help companies get out in front of the trend in this issue of CIO Decisions. That mission led us to talk to companies about their experiences implementing AR and VR technologies and their influence on digital business management. Elsewhere in this issue, representatives from the MIT Media Lab discuss whether autonomous machines can have morals, and the CIO of Oral Roberts University discusses how to overcome the "IKEA effect" on IT.

Reflections in Time
Reflections in Time is a series of 125 interviews produced by the University of Nebraska at Omaha from 1979 to 2007 with alumni, staff, faculty, and administrators. Of the 125 interviews in this series, the first 73 programs were produced by Professor of Communication Paul Borge and the final 52 were produced by Dean of Arts & Sciences Jack Newton.
This online exhibit is a work in a progress. Profile pages have been created for fewer than 10% of the Reflections in Time interviewees to date. If you know the name of the interview you would like to view you may search the finding aid.
Each interviewee provides biographical information as well as discussing their experiences at the university. The interviews provide an excellent window into the history of Omaha University and the University of Nebraska at Omaha as well as personal and world events of the 20th century.
Curating this online exhibit for Reflections in Time was begun in August 2015 and will continue as resources permit until thorough and informative pages are completed for each UNO interviewee. Donor support for the project can ensure that robust information is available for the public about each interviewee more quickly. To support this initiative, contact Director of Archives & Special Collections Amy Schindler at 402-554-6046 or email@example.com.
Funding for Criss Library Archives & Special Collections Online Exhibits hosted by Omeka.net made possible through the generous support of the John and Gloria Barton family.
Oral history is one of many sources available to consult as part of your research. It reflects the experience of an individual and shares personal opinions offered by the interviewee in response to questioning. Additional sources can verify and provide additional information to the narrative of events presented in oral histories. Contact Criss Library Archives & Special Collections to continue your research, find additional sources, or learn more.

I have two data series to compare, one from the Federal government, the other from the Gallup organization. Both are concerned with charting unemployment and the combination of unemployment and underemployment on a monthly basis.
They use different methodologies and, I am sure, somewhat different question and answer formats in their search for the same basic information, so it is no surprise that they do not provide exactly the same results. However, any divergence over time does catch my attention. The Federal data is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Gallup data is from their latest report. Note: Gallup polls on this question regularly and uses 30-day rolling averages. They report once at mid-month and once at end-month. I use their end-month stats to compare with the BLS stats. The difference between Gallup's report of 10.3% unemployment for February clashes with the BLS report of 8.9% and has caused me to look back over the last fourteen months to see if there was anything unusual going on. It seems that the last four months have shown a growing divergence between the two reports for both unemployment alone, and when combined with underemployment. It has taken me some time to put these graphs together and I face a series of meetings today, beginning shortly, so I am just putting them up for the moment without much commentary. The divergence may be explained by differences in methodology alone or perhaps it is temporary, but it is noticeable, so note it, I do. I will be keeping an eye on it in coming months. Although I have no time for a detailed look at the two methodologies, I do wonder whether one factor, emotion, might make a difference during times when unemployment and underemployment are both unusually high for much longer than average periods of time. I have commissioned a couple dozen national surveys for various purposes from private services like those provided by Gallup, although I have used Harris and Zogby. So I also know from experience that who asks the question can have an impact on the response. I ask myself, is it possible that respondents respond differently to a government surveyor than they do to a private surveyor under these potentially emotion-driven circumstances? I can't answer that question, but it does linger in the back of my mind. Normally, I would not raise a question like this without first doing my own full analysis, but I know that is not going to happen given my current workload. So I am doing something irregular. I am posting these graphs just to share with you what I have noticed. If someone out there wants to do the necessary research to comment analytically, more power to you! In the meantime, I will watch this and see if the divergence continues and perhaps grows. It may be telling us something of significance or it may not, but it is interesting.

Do you love or hate the wispy, abstract facade of 24H-Architecture's Nieuw Leyden House? Designed to resemble a "canyon" in keeping with a technique employed to flood the building with plenty of natural light, the facade is either a playful excess or an absurd waste - depending on each person's taste. Restricted by space, these two homes are built around a central courtyard with a "canyon wall" that flushes in light.
Although there were no permitting restrictions for any of the individual houses, and 24H-Architecture had full reign to build freely, the streets in this Leiden neighborhood are chock full of buildings leaving little space for expansion. Instead of forcing small block houses, they created a meandering canyon effect by wrapping the houses around the courtyard with a transparent boundary wall. For privacy, or during the evenings, this canyon wall can also be closed.
The architects used certified wood in the building's construction, but critics might still question the facade. Though we find it playful and not too wasteful, certain readers over at Arch Daily were not so convinced. One person likened the projected pieces, which are constructed from Corten steel, to "spaghetti straps."

Seymour: A Portable Parallel Programming Language

Russ Miller

Quentin F. Stout
This paper introduces Seymour, a high-level data parallel programming language that can be used to design, express, and implement efficient portable parallel algorithms. The foundation of Seymour is based on the emerging approach of designing parallel algorithms based on standardized global operations such as prefix, broadcast, sort, compression, and associative read. Seymour also incorporates fundamental paradigms, such as divide-and-conquer, reduce-and-create-cross-product, and reduce-and-compress, which are derived from theoretical parallel algorithms. Seymour redirects the difficulties of portability and efficiency into similar difficulties for the global operations and paradigms. However, the cost of developing efficient implementations of standardized operations on the various target architectures can be amortized over numerous algorithms.
Keywords: parallel programming paradigms, global data movement operations, portable parallel programs, efficiency, parallel computing, computer science

Oca (Oxalis tuberosa)
We have been growing oca tubers for many years, having been given a handful of seed, a bit like Jack and the beanstalk over 10 years ago!
What are ocas?
Ocas are a tuber root crop from the Andes where they are a staple food, second only to potatoes. They are grown commercially in New Zealand where they are known as Yam. Ocas belong to the wood sorrel family.
Why grow ocas?
They are very easy to grow, give good yields, and are delicious to eat.
The folliage makes a nice decorative border which is a great weed suppressor, with lots of small yellow flowers in late summer and early autumn.
They are still relatively unknown in Europe and are not grown commercially outside their native Andes except in New Zealand.
They store very well throughout the winter. Tubers left on a shelf in a shed were still perfectly edible in April, and grew when planted.
They are disease free, and you can save your own tuber seeds from year to year.
How to grow ocas?
Ocas are very easy to grow. They don't suffer from blight and are very disease and pest resistant, though in wet years, slugs do seem to like them. The only thing required to grow oca is patience: they need a long growing season as the tubers don't start forming before the autumn equinox. For this reason, they may not be suitable in areas where there is danger of an early frost, as this will kill them before the tubers have properly developed.
Ocas are basically grown like potatoes, although they are more shade tolerant, and in fact, will do better in partial shade. Plant them out after the last frost, at 30 – 40 cm spacing and at a depth of 5cm, and wait. After a few weeks, small stalks with clover like leaves will appear. They may appear quite weak and fragile at this stage, and it is important to keep them free of weeds. After about two months, earth up the stalks or mulch (this is optional, but recommended as it increases yields). You can pluck a few leaves throughout the summer to add to your green salads. That's all there is to do until the first frost kills the plants in November or December. Wait for about a week after the plants have died back, then dig the tubers up. They are grow very close to the surface unlike potatoes. If you don't have early frost, leave them in the ground till early December for the biggest yield.
How do I get started growing ocas?
You will need to get tuber seeds.
In the winter, we usually have tuber seeds of plants naturalised to Ireland and are happy to post some to you if you are in Ireland, the UK or anywhere in the EU.
It's now to late for the 2014 harvest, and you will have to wait until the 2015 harvest is in, probably in December.
We mostly harvest a red variety which we have been growing successfully for the past 8 years, and which has shown good disease and slug resistance and gives good yields. We usually have also have a small amount of an orange and a white variety.
Cooking ocas
Ocas are very versatile vegetables. They have a slightly tangy taste and a delicious crunchy texture when raw. It is a good idea to leave them in the sun for a few days once dug, as this sweetens the flavour. The texture gets more floury, and the flavour sweeter, once they are cooked.
They can be used raw in salads, stir fried, cooked in curries, stews or soups, steamed (and served with butter or honey) or brushed up with olive oil and roasted (the best way in our opinion). Oca cooks more quickly than potatoes or even sweet potatoes, so check early on if they are done.
There's no need to peel them, just wash them (which is easy thanks to their slightly waxy skins).
The leaves can also be eaten and make an interesting addition to a green salad (although you shouldn't eat too much of them as they contain oxalic acid).

There are a lot of choices out there for iPhone/Android ebook reading. You can load up the Amazon App, the Sony Reader App (well assuming they are allowed to sell the app) or whatever comes native. However all of these options (plus others too) leave you a little bit boxed in for my liking. I decided to see what I could do to create my own Ebook-ish app.

It has now become apparent to me that I am suffering from a case of Early Adopter Fail. To prove how cutting edge my technology purchases are, I made a choice early on about what Ebook reader I would purchase. About 4ish months after purchasing the Kobo I now find myself hopelessly cast into the land of misfit gadgets with the recent news of the upcoming Kobo 2 Ebook reader.

It's no secret that I am a Kobo Fanboy. I've blogged about it a few times before. What drew me to in the first place... Well price first and foremost. All's I needed was an ebook reader, no embedded mp3 player, no wi-fi interface, no automatic transmission and comfort package. Just the basics. Kobo had that covered.

SAYREVILLE, N.J. – SAYREVILLE, N.J. -- A body found near a New Jersey river may be that of a 3-month-old girl who police say was thrown off a highway bridge by her father earlier this year.
Sgt. Stephen Jones says clothes and wrappings in which the child were found Saturday are consistent with the descriptions given of 3-month-old Zara Malani-Lin Abdur-Raheem. But he says the baby is considered unidentified until DNA testing or other means can prove her identity.
Police say the baby's father, Shamsid-Din Abdur-Raheem, confessed that he threw the infant off a bridge Feb. 16. They say Abdur-Raheem had snatched the baby from her grandmother's arms several hours earlier while the child's mother was in court getting a restraining order against him.
Abdur-Raheem has pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges.

The Police on Friday [Jul 31] advised members of the public using Automated Teller Machines (ATM) at various banks to be security conscious as some criminals now disguised as customers queuing to withdraw money.
This is contained in a statement on the Nigeria Police Force website exposing the antics of criminals. The statement noted that on July 30, at about 12.10 a.m., a male bank customer went to withdraw money from one of the ATMs at the Central Business District (CBD), Abuja.
It stated that three young men who pretended to have come to withdraw money also were on queue with the plan to attack the man.
"The victim raised an alarm which attracted nearby police patrol team to the scene. The hoodlums took to their heels upon sighting the advancing policemen. One automatic pistol fell from one of the suspects and was recovered by the police and the victim was rescued".
"However, another male victim was unlucky as hoodlums attacked him and snatched the N50,000 he withdrew from ATMs on July 28. Police responded to his distress call and one of the suspects was arrested. Efforts are on to apprehend other gang members," the statement said.

However, as SharePoint newbies rapidly became power users, requests came up for features that SharePoint 2003 didnt provide out-of-the-box. Fortunately, third-party companies quickly evolved to offer new, cutting-edge features, such as an undelete capability, workflow tools, enhanced navigation tools, roll-up web parts, and many more. A subset of users generally turned to FrontPage 2003 to modify their SharePoint work environments to better suit their needs; for example, by removing the Quick Launch area, modifying the navigation bars, adding zones, and making other structural changes. Unfortunately, in the process of making those changes, the site collection became unghosted, rendering it an island separated from the server-hosted site definitions.
"SharePoint 2007 Unleashed" learn more
As more third-party applications became part of the SharePoint 2003 environment, support, maintenance, troubleshooting, and end user training became arithmetically more complex. Many organizations reached a certain level of complexity and decided to halt the addition of more functionality, despite the demands of the user base, after word of the 2007 versions of SharePoint started to circulate.
Enter the SharePoint 2007 product line, which builds on the many strengths of the previous version, introduces features that end users have requested, and provides new features that many users might never have dreamed of. The following sections introduce SharePoint features using a bottom-up methodology that starts with the smallest units of organizationdocument libraries and listsand works up to sites, workspaces, and site collections. This approach will help you understand how different groups of users benefit from SharePoints new and improved features.
Organizing and Streamlining Document Management
One of the most used features of SharePoint is the document library. Knowledge workers, team members, and end users will find themselves living in document libraries when adding to or accessing files stored in these units. It is important for SharePoint administrators and architects to put sufficient time and effort into designing the document libraries to meet the needs of the different types of users.
A powerful new feature of SharePoint 2007 document libraries is security-trimming of the user interface: menus that shouldnt be seen by a user with a lower level of access and privileges dont appear. In Figure 1.1, the New, Actions, and Settings menus wouldnt appear if the individual accessing the library had only Reader privileges. The Edit menu shown in Figure 1.1 is security-trimmed to the privileges of the user. In this case, User1 has Owner-level rights in the library, so that user can perform these actions: View Properties, Edit Properties, Manage Permissions, Edit in Microsoft Office Excel, Delete, Send To, Check Out, Unpublish this version, Version History, Workflows, and Alert Me.
For a user with appropriate privileges in the library, the Actions menu provides access to a number of powerful and enhanced tools: Edit in Datasheet, Open with Windows Explorer, Connect to Outlook, Export to Spreadsheet, View RSS Feed, and Alert Me. (RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.) Note that these options vary based on the installed version of Office. Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 offers fewer options because the free version has a reduced feature set.
SharePoint 2003 users will notice that some of the tools that used to be available in the Quick Launch area have moved to the Edit menu. Chapter 7, Using Libraries and Lists in SharePoint 2007, provides a detailed overview of different tools as well as the actions available in the New, Upload, Actions, and Settings menus.
Site administrators have access to many additional tools that enable the creation of different views of the information stored in the library. The links in the General Settings column enable an administrator to determine which basic features the library makes available. The administrator controls versioning (with the new abilities to create only major or both major and minor versions, and to limit the retained number of each type), requiring that documents be checked out before they can be edited, whether content types can be used, whether new folders are allowed, and whether items in the library appear in search results.
The Permissions and Management column enables the administrator to define privileges for different groups and users to the library, create workflows, and manage information management policies (such as policy statements, auditing, expiration, and barcodes). The Communications column makes it possible for an administrator to allow the document library to receive emails, to define the email address and how to manage and store emails, and to decide whether the list can receive RSS feeds.

Weight loss and dieting is a major struggle for millions of people. Being even slightly overweight can lead to some avoidable medical issues including joint pain. Many people suffer from secondary Osteoarthritis and harsh joint pain brought on by obesity.
Dieting and avoiding the foods you like can be very difficult, even if you are highly motivated. Therefore one method that has proved successful is portion control. Eating the same food you would normally just eating a little less of it. Instead of your normal portion try serving yourself a little less. Start out with about 3/4 of your normal serving and try to work to 1/2 within a few weeks.
If you are still cooking the same amount, make sure to put some away in a sealed plastic container to avoid coming back for seconds. If you're eating out this may seem a little harder, because you're not the one putting the food on the plate. And I know what you're thinking, "if it's there I will eat itâ€. Well, here's how to combat that. When ordering at restaurant that has very large portions ask for a "to go†container when you place the order. This way you can move part or half of the portion to the "to go†container so it's off your plate and out of site. As a bonus you just got two meals for the price of one.
With a smaller portion you may still feel a little hungry after you eat but wait 30 minutes before going back for more. Often it takes that long for the stomach to signal the brain that you have had enough and feel full.
Many fast eaters will often continue eating way more than they need, but because their eating so fast the body doesn't have time to tell them to stop. By the time the body does send that signal they have completely stuffed themselves and feel bloated and ill.
So control your portions and give your body time to register what you ate. It will lead to a feeling of satisfaction after you've eaten and a healthier you.
