Say the word "Oahu" and what images spring to mind? If you're like most travel buffs, you're probably picturing a series of natural and man-made landmarks that utterly define the island. From Aloha Tower to Waikiki Beach, Oahu's icons deserve attention, and the Oahu Visitors Bureau (OVB) has been making a concerted effort to promote them to clients.
"Oahu's icons play an important role in connecting visitors with the island's heritage and legacy," said OVB's director of travel industry sales Stacey Martin Alford. "Each icon invites visitors to enjoy a deeper level of engagement with Hawaii's people, places, culture, history and unique attributes."
Following is a tribute to seven magnificent Oahu icons. Making personal connections with them can lead clients to lifelong memories of a one-of-a-kind destination.
1. Aloha TowerWhen it opened in 1926, this 184-foot-high gem was the tallest building in Hawaii, and it welcomed the early luxury liners to Honolulu Harbor. Small boats would carry locals out to the cruise ships where they would climb aboard and sing, dance and hand out leis to arriving passengers. With A-L-O-H-A etched in big letters, the tower continues to symbolize Hawaii's innate hospitality.
2. Diamond HeadThe most recognizable landmark in Hawaii, this 200,000-year-old dormant volcano provides a steadfast backdrop to Waikiki. The Hawaiians originally called it Leahi (brow of the yellowfin tuna), but it was nicknamed Diamond Head when 19th-century sailors mistook its calcite crystals for diamonds. At its 762-foot summit, hikers are rewarded with stunning views of Honolulu.
3. Iolani PalaceWhen King Kalakaua and Queen Kapiolani moved into Iolani Palace in 1882, their new American Florentine-designed home — complete with phones and electric lights — represented Hawaii's modern status. It remained the royal residence until 1893 when the last Hawaiian monarch, Queen Liliuokalani, was overthrown. Today, visitors can travel back in time during guided tours of the only royal palace on U.S. soil.
4. The North ShoreStretching from Laie to Kaena Point, the legendary surf mecca exudes an uncommon charisma set against breathtaking scenery. When mammoth winter waves rise up, famed beaches like Sunset, Ehukai and Waimea Bay give spectators a thrill as daring surfers test their skills in the world's top competitions. Shops and eateries in Haleiwa town epitomize the laid-back vibe of this timeless destination.
5. The Royal HawaiianSince its opening in 1927, the Royal Hawaiian has charmed generations of discerning travelers from all over the world, including countless celebrities. Affectionately called the Pink Palace of the Pacific, the hotel continues the legacy of sharing stories of its colorful past, and it honors its historic setting — originally the home of Hawaii kings — through art, food, song, dance and tours.
6. Waikiki BeachAncient royalty once considered Waikiki Beach as its playground. Nineteenth-century King Kalakaua saw it as a place of renewal where Hawaiians could enjoy the very best of life. At the turn of the 20th century, famed waterman Duke Kahanamoku frequently surfed its waves. Today, this famous strand of south shore sand continues to make history as it lures visitors with its natural beauty and vibrant recreation.
7. World War II Valor in the PacificThis national monument, which includes the USS Arizona Memorial, preserves and interprets the story of the Pacific War, including the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Standing on the graceful white structure that stretches over the sunken remains of a battleship, clients cannot help but respect and honor the men and women who gave their lives for the freedom of others.

BOSTON — James "Whitey" Bulger, a brutal gangster who ruled over Boston's criminal underworld in the 1970s and '80s and evaded capture for 16 years, was found guilty of murder and racketeering by a jury on Monday and will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
The 83-year-old Bulger, dressed in a gray shirt, dark pants and white sneakers, stood quietly as the verdict was read, showing little emotional response to the decision by jurors to convict him after five days of deliberation in Boston federal court. His sentencing was scheduled for November 13.

The Wanted were given a fright in Los Angeles recently when they were "arrested" during a video shoot as part of a TV prank.
The British boyband, currently riding high in the charts with Glad You Came, were in L.A. to film their latest promo when the shoot was interrupted by a cop, who detained them on suspicion of trespassing.
Bandmember Jay McGuiness was placed in handcuffs and taken away by the officer, while his visibly upset friends waited nervously to hear their fate.
However, the boys later found out the "arrest" was all part of a prank for the new series of hit TV show Punk'd, formerly hosted by actor Ashton Kutcher.
The ninth season of Punk'd returns to TV screens later this month (Mar12).

This is why shitty little econo boxes are still running manuals.
I think DJ is right here. The difference in parasitic loss is what 18% for an auto and 15% for manual, that measly 3% is easily made up by a computer controlled trans. This argument was true 25 years ago when the auto's were power glides and TH400's. Today's autos are VERY efficient, If manuals truly were more efficient you would see them in cars like the Prius that ONLY come in an auto.

I think one reason is to make sure the latest plugin (which requires a particular version of eclipse + WTP) supports different major releases of geronimo in case people still want to use the older version or while they migrate their projects from older versions of geronimo to the newer versions.

Produced for CD release by Jordi Pujol
"Jo Jones and Milt Hinton were two musicians who could raise the level of playing in any rhythm section they were a part of; this historical curiosity, originally recorded for Everest, featues just the two of them exploring the rhythmic possibilities within a dozen numbers. Jones' brushwork is matchless as usual, while Hinton's considerable technique is also apparent. The highlight of this rather brief date is "The Walls Fall," a fascinating reworking of the old spiritual "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho." While the playing time is brief at just 34 minutes, it's great to hear two masters at work."

Membership in the New York Angels offers investors many advantages. Some of them include:
- Association with a premier angel group in New York City.
- Increased deal flow to top emerging companies across a broad range of industries.
- Improved deal terms as a result of investing collectively..
- Introductions and access to the New York Angels network of over 75 successful New York City entrepreneurs and business leaders.
- Opportunity to work as a team to evaluate and learn from each other during Due Diligence.
- High quality monthly meetings with top notch company and educational presentations
New York Angels is a Non Stock Corporation and is managed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership who supervises a small professional staff. New York Angels is not a fund and does not invest as a group. Our members collaborate on due diligence and pool their investment funds to create critical mass; but each member makes individual investment decisions and understands that investments in early-stage, privately-held ventures are risky and can be highly illiquid. Typical angel investments can take years before capital is returned, and, in some cases, the company goes out of business and no money is returned. Serving on corporate boards can also expose an individual to substantial personal liability.

Today I'm going to share my designs for a wireless sensor network build using Felix Rusu's awesome Moteino R3 platform. My network measures light, temperature and humidity in my office and I plan to use it to help me figure out how to make the temperature in here more manageable in the summer.
Enter the Moteino!
The Moteino is a low cost Arduinio-compatible ATMega328 chip bolted onto a HopeRF RFM69 radio transceiver. I've concluded that this is a much better platform than the Ciseco XRF for sensor networks after a few weeks of evaluating both. Moteino is a really ideal platform because:
- The Moteino works out of the box the way you expect it to
- Is easy to integrate into a breadboard with 0.1″ spacing
- The wireless platform is optimized for sensor applications, not serial poirts
- Its much better documented than Ciseco's products (strange too, since Ciseco is a multi-employee company and LowPowerLabs is apparently being run out of a suburban home in Detroit.)
- Shipping time is nice and quick from Detroit, MI
- Everything you need – FTDI port, power regulator, status LED is already on-board
- More pins!
Felix hand-assembles the Moteino's at home — the build quality is remarkable.
Here is a photo of the front and back side of the Moteino, courtesy of Felix's website:
Prototyping the sensors
To start with my project, I assembled a protoboard with all of the sensors I planned to hook up so I could be sure everything works electrically. Included are the following sensors:
- A Modern Devices Wind Sensor (a hot-wire thermal anemometer)
- A TSL2561 digitally calibrated lux sensor (by Adafruit)
- A 1M + 100K Ohm voltage divider for measuring battery voltage
- A Dallas one-wire thermometer (for evaluating it for the future)
- A BMP085 barometer / thermometer (by Adafruit)
All of this fits onto a half-size breadboard.
I wrote the control code to be modular, so that depending on the "personality" of the sensor, different libraries would be automatically linked into the sketch and transmitted. If the library is not needed, the headers are not pulled in to keep the code size manageable. The nodes emit helpful debugging information to the serial port if desired. I also added a special "LOWPOWER" mode puts the AVR and its integrated radio into a very low power sleep state until it is woken by the watchdog timer.
Each personality for the sensor platform is set with a set of C pre-processor definitions like so:
My window watcher
In addition to the prototyping board, I also designed an integrated "window watching" sensor that can detect outside light levels and compare them to indoor light levels. Its intended to be mounted on a window. When the blinds are closed, they reflect back more light than when they are open, letting me measure how open or closed they are.
This window watching sensor came out fairly well considering I've never made anything significant with a soldered breadboard before.
Closeup of the front:

Back side:
The gateway
I'm using a raspberry PI as a gateway to the internet for my network. As you can see below, the wiring is very simple — just power, ground and Moteino's D3 pin to RXD.
I originally planned to use a Arduino Yun as my gateway. After hacking with it for a few days I gave up and switched to the Raspberry Pi. The Yun does not really ready for such a task — perhaps the hardware or software is not yet mature. I kept running into unexplained crashes and missing bytes, probably a combination of the Yun missing a hardware serial port UART and some flakiness with the Bridge library that lets the Arduino interface with the chip that runs the Linux OS. This is really too bad since the Raspberry Pi is overkill for data logging and has a much less stable filesystem.
The communication protocol between the sensor nodes is dead simple and includes metadata that will maximize the utility of the data for analysis. Each packet is a comma-delimited line of text with fields like this:
The fields are:
- 1st character: R for reading, C for command, I for info
- A device specific sequence number for the message
- The node name of the sender
- A timestamp from the sender (usually # of milliseconds since start)
- The name of the sensor
- The sensor reading
- The units of the reading
- An optional memo field
When the packet is received, code on the raspberry pi gateway adds a local timestamp, the RSSI and the sending node ID.
pi@raspberrypi ~/sensornet $ tail mainlog.csv 2013-10-25 10:51:50,R8354,Proto,1576920,LUX-Broad,1935.00,rawb,,-56,99 2013-10-25 10:51:50,R8354,Proto,1576920,LUX-Broad,1935.00,rawb,,-55,99 2013-10-25 10:51:50,R8355,Proto,1576991,LUX-Infra,729.00,rawi,,-55,99 2013-10-25 10:51:51,R8356,Proto,1577071,BMP-Temp,22.98,C,,-55,99 2013-10-25 10:51:51,R8356,Proto,1577071,BMP-Temp-F,73.364,F,,-55,99 2013-10-25 10:51:51,R8356,Proto,1577071,BMP-Temp,22.98,C,,-55,99 2013-10-25 10:51:51,R8356,Proto,1577071,BMP-Temp-F,73.364,F,,-55,99 2013-10-25 10:51:51,R8357,Proto,1577176,BMP-Pressure,101297.00,Pa,,-56,99 2013-10-25 10:51:51,R8357,Proto,1577176,BMP-Pressure,101297.00,Pa,,-58,99 2013-10-25 10:51:51,R8358,Proto,1577893,MDWIND,558.00,raw,,-59,99
The advantage of this format is that it can be easily loaded into a database or a charting package and used out of the box. Its very easy to filter, cross-tab etc. Eventually, I plan to have the receiving script insert directly into a database, in which case this format will still be useful as a way of creating "archives" of sensor readings.
Using a charting package called Tableau, I pulled some interesting charts. Tableau is one of the very best data visualization packages I know, and it an essential tool in my daily work at PatientsLikeMe. Here you can see the pattern when the window shades are opened or closed. The dip where the top line and the middle line spread apart is the point where the shades were open.
Another example, showing the Dallas, SHT15 and BMP085 each tracking my office temperature. (Note: the SHT is closer to my LCD display so is generally reading higher values.)
Gateway code
Getting the data from the serial port on the Motetino to the Raspberry Pi is a simple task, however I invested in a somewhat unusual design for the gateway script. I want my sensor network to have the option of bi-directional communication, meaning that it should be possible for the Raspberry Pi to send out commands and information back out to the nodes. One use of this might be to enable a wall display with the temperature and light levels. This means that the script must handle the back and forth traffic between the serial port a TCP connection and the file system. I decided to use a Perl script with a select statement to handle the multiplexing, a somewhat complex solution but provably the most CPU efficient mechanism at least in POSIX UNIX. In theory, a solid Pyhon coder could probably figure out how to do the same thing with threads, but I am not a full-time developer anymore and never learned Python.
Getting the source
If anyone writes to me, I'd be happy to share the code for all of the above. Its also available in my GIT repository here although its constantly evolving and not in any kind of "release". I'm not really sure who reads this blog or if anyone is interested in sensor networks the way I am, so I'm holding off making a formal dot release.

The trend in August was probably helped by moving all the space to the DATADISK space token and attracting more interesting data. LOCALGROUP is also heavily used in Manchester.
In the past 4 days we also have applied the XFS file system tuning suggested by John that solves the load on the data servers experienced since upgrading to SL5. The tweak has increased notably the data throughput and reduced the load on the data servers practically to zero allowing us to increase the number of concurrent jobs. This has allowed a bigger job throughput and has had a clear improvement on the job efficiency isolating as most inefficient the very short ones (<10 mins CPU time) and even then the improvement is also notable as it is possible to see from the plots below.
Before applying the tweak
After applying the tweak
This also means we can keep on using XFS for the data servers which has currently more flexibility as far as partition sizes are concerned.

VRLearn: Virtual Reality & Learning Report from Elliot Masie of The Masie Center.
In 2016, Virtual Reality (VR) surged forward. The concept that we could watch a video with deeper engagement, immersion, 360 perspectives, and even complete virtual environments became a working experiment. From the surge of interest in Pokémon Go to the Facebook investment in Oculus to the most recent arrival in my LAB of a set of Snapchat Spectacles, the world of VR lit up in 2016.
So, can we use any or all of this to enhance learning?

Neighbors: Booze and pool hall are bad combination
By Elizabeth OBrien
Saying they are tired of braving a gantlet of teenagers who gather outside a neighborhood pool hall, Elizabeth St. residents hope the State Liquor Authority will reject the owners application for a liquor license.
For the past year, neighbors of 128 Billiards at 128 Elizabeth St., between Grand and Broome Sts., have complained about the young crowds who assemble outside the pool hall, crowding sidewalks, talking loudly and occasionally harassing passersby.
Its a totally intimidating place, said one resident who lives across the street from 128 Billiards. She said the teenagers sometimes spit at passersby. Like other residents interviewed by The Villager, she requested anonymity for fear of being identified by the youths or the establishments owner.
An attorney representing the owner appeared before the Business Committee of Community Board 2 earlier this month to request the boards approval for a liquor license for the premises. Approximately 15 community members came to oppose the application.
Its a pretty bad situation even without the application for a liquor license, said another block resident in a telephone interview. She also requested anonymity, saying she felt unsafe walking past the youths.
The committee voted unanimously to reject the liquor license application, and on March 18 the full board upheld its decision. Community boards act solely in an advisory capacity.
Kerry Katsorhis, the attorney representing the owner of 128 Billiards, said that his client and the community share the same goal of discouraging youths from clustering around the pool hall. And the best way to do that, Katsorhis said, is to offer a high-end product that they cannot buy: alcohol.
He doesnt want people there under the age of 21, Katsorhis said.
But many in the community say that alcohol will only make the problem worse.
As there have already been numerous problems with large crowds of young people hanging out at the establishment and being noisy, the addition of a liquor license is a recipe for disaster, said Councilmember Alan Gerson, who represents the area, in a letter to the State Liquor Authority.
Some said that management should be more aggressive in dispersing the crowds from the premises. As many as 20 gather on a nice evening, and a sheet of paper on the door saying those under 18 cannot enter past 8 p.m. seems to be the only effort management has made to stem the problem, neighbors said.
All you can do is politely ask people not to congregate out there, Katsorhis said. He said his client was short on funds and was just trying to make a go of it.
While nightlife proprietors must make a good-faith effort to control their patrons as they exit and enter the premises, the police are ultimately responsible for regulating noise and other outdoor problems, according to city officials.
The liquor license application of 128 Billiards might hit a snag, because community members say it stands within 100 feet of the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Church on the corner of Broome and Elizabeth Sts. If a liquor license applicant is found to be located within 200 feet of a school, a church or other religious institution then that is grounds for automatic disqualification, according to J. Mark Anderson, an S.LA. spokesperson.
Katsorhis said he has not filed his clients liquor license application yet, and that his client still hopes for the communitys approval.
The application will bear close scrutiny to determine the pool halls proximity to the church, Anderson said.

March students put in the miles for Macmillan
More than 200 students from March's Neale Wade Academy proved they had what it takes when they went the distance for charity.
The Year Seven students notched up the miles when they took part in a mammoth swimming and walking challenge in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
A total 24 students swam 2,014 lengths of the pool at the George Campbell Leisure Centre – the equivalent of one and a half times the length of the English Channel – and the rest collectively walked 750 miles – the distance of March to Paris and back – at the academy field.
The event was organised by the Year Seven students themselves in memory of one of their loved ones to cancer, and was the brainchild of student Rosetta Schaunberg-Kent.
Avid swimmer Rosetta, who swam almost 200 lengths of the pool during the fundraiser on March 24, said she was thrilled with the distances everyone swam and walked.
"I didn't imagine it would go so well," she added.
The George Campbell Centre allowed the swimmers to use the pool for the challenge free of charge, and also provided equipment, refreshments and trained staff to support.
At the academy, many students walked, jogged and ran over 20 laps of the field in the two-hour marathon.
Chris Mac Manus, the academy's Year Seven progress leader, praised the students for their "great effort and resilience to work as a team to complete the difficuly challenge and raise money for such a worthy cause".
Year Seven pastoral assistant Claire Smethurst added that the camaraderie shown on the day was "brilliant" and congratulated the students on a "fantastic achievement".
Sponsorship is still being collected, but the students hope to have raised several hundreds of pounds.

I hope you like the change which allows me to bring my take on the technology industry from the capital of innovation together with all my video, audio, photos, posts, news stories, features and, soon, tweets all in one place. You can still find my old posts here.
We at the BBC hope this new style will make it easier for you to follow me and engage with my BBC stories. Please do give us your feedback - tell us what you think of the new format.

HPX is a heavy duty brake pad that is recommended for performance, passenger and trade vehicles. These vehicles can often generate high temperatures yet they still require a brake pad to handle normal, everyday conditions.
HPX is the perfect choice for street cars looking for excellent braking performance whilst retaining all the qualities of a good street pad. The HPX pads are ideal for high performance street cars looking for higher working temperatures with reduced fade, and also for Four Wheel Drives or vehicles looking to enhance their towing capacity or safety. The HPX pads unlike many pads in this performance range are virtually dust free, whilst maintaining low rotor wear.
Excellent pedal feel combined with great stopping power hot or cold makes HPX the ideal brake pad for these vehicles. Other features of HPX that motorists enjoy are low dust, low disc rotor wear and quiet operation of the pads.
Cold Friction - High Friction - Temperature (C)
0.41 - 0.42 - 0-550
What others have to say about the HPX!
"By the way those pads I put on (front & rear) are bloody excellent. I already had another performance police spec pad, and apart from being dusty as all hell they stopped well. There is a definant improvement even on those!
Unfortunately I didn't get to clean the wheels but I can see the fingerprints on the chrome are still there after a week. They dont seem to grind or squeal, and I think they have a better initial bite then as you increase pressure pull the old girl up smoothly and purposefully (if that makes sense). Brilliant stuff from pads that cost less than half the price, and are locally made.
Happy as a pig in sh$t. Infact hapy enough to buy a second set to have sit in the shed for next time!"
"I currently have QFM, absolutely love em, easily best pad i have used!"
"I put a set of HPX front and rear of my GF's twin turbo and **** ME! The car stops so well!
Great service, great products, recommend to anyone, and will be buying anything else i need from here
Thanks again!"
I just wanted to give you an update on the brakes and how they are going.
I finally got around to having the time to put the brakes on. I have nothing but good words and performance out of the brake pads so far. There were no problems whatsoever in replacing the old for the new. Straight in, reassemble and off I went. Brakes didn't even make a single squeal. Very strong stopping power off the front alone so far!
Thank you for helping me out with the right parts and the pads. I will definitely be using your business and products for my brakes from now on.
"Got the pads put on today....freaking awesome man. I'll be highly recommending these to anyone who asks. The cold bite and the amount of speed it wipes off is just awesome!"
"I have been running the HPX on the front of the convertible for a couple of months now. I have not noticed any dust and the difference to whatever pads were there before is that they perform near 100% from the very first application!"
"I just got back from a trip down the coast of NSW, did a 1000kms on the QFM HPX pads with the slotted rotors and have to say zero dust! The car needed a wash not the rims for a change. I felt it brakes better than the stock pads."

I hand-picked and actively curate every song on this 27-and-a-half hour playlist. But it's more than a playlist to me. It's one of the main tools in my belt as I fight distraction and complacency.
I listened to it as I trained from a back-injured scrawny weakling to deadlifting 200 lbs. I listened to it as I ran and biked my way to my first triathlon. I listened to it to get me pumped up to marathon a twenty-page research paper as I finally came out of the haze of an illness. It got me jazzed up to ace the interview for my last job.
And heck, it's awfully fun.

Not everyone is happy with your regular desktops and laptops. Some of them need more, and that's why we have portable desktops. In this Acer Aspire AZ3-700-UR52 review, we are discussing one such portable all-in-one desktop computer from the house of Acer.
Being a mobile device, this one is mainly aimed at people who need the power of a desktop but are always on their feet. Being the touch desktop, the possibilities are even improved. If you are interested in getting a portable desktop computer, then read this review and see if this is fitting for your needs.
Click here to know more about this desktop!
Even though this is a desktop computer, it only has a 17.3-inch display making it easy to carry around. The first thing you are going to notice in this design is the stand. The stand holds the laptop well and enables you to use it in two ways. The first mode is the regular one while the second one is more suitable for media consumption.
You can find the ports and jacks on the sides. The speakers are found on the sides near the bottom. This placement is not as good as front-facing ones but still will get the job done. You are also provided with a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. Overall, this is a beautiful desktop you can carry around with ease.
Acer Aspire AZ3-700-UR52 Specs
The most important part of this desktop is the screen. This is a 17.3-inch display that has a full-HD resolution. The panel beneath is an IPS panel which means the viewing angles will be excellent. This is also a touchscreen, and that opens up a lot of possibilities. This feature can be a blessing for designers and those who need to work on something on the spot. The touchscreen gives you more control as opposed to a mouse or a trackpad.
An Intel Pentium N3700 processor runs this Acer Aspire AZ3-700-UR52 desktop computer. This one is a quad-core processor clocked at 1.6GHz. There is turbo in this chip which allows it to be clocked up to 2.4GHz. With a benchmark score of around the 1600s, this processor is cut for light usage. You will be able to run some photo editing applications and even some development tools. But anything more intense than that could have an impact on the performance.
The memory is 4GB DDR3 type. Acer has stuck with the minimum memory you will need. If you are a light user, then this memory should be handy for getting through your day. But it is true that you could have benefitted more if there were 8 gigs of RAM.
With Intel HD graphics at the helm, gaming is this machine is strictly restricted to light stuff. You can enjoy playing casual games and browser-based games. But if you want to try anything intensive, then you will have to go through a painful experience.
The 500GB 5400RPM hard drive gives you a lot of storage to play with. Load all your games, TV shows, movies, videos, songs, and other stuff without any restriction. The speed might make you go nuts sometimes, but that's how these 5400RPM hard drives are.
Windows 10 is the operating system on this Acer Aspire AZ3-700-UR52 desktop. With touch functionality in place, you will get the absolute best out of this operating system.
Usually, you won't find batteries on desktop computers. But this one is a portable desktop and with that, we also get some battery power. Acer gives us a potential battery life of 5 hours which may not be that true in real life. You might be able to get 3 or 3.5 hours of battery life with real life usage.
Acer Aspire AZ3-700-UR52 Review: Verdict
This Acer Aspire AZ3-700-UR52 portable desktop computer is an efficient machine for those seeking desktop-level power in a portable device. This desktop will be a good choice if you are looking for a computer that is cheap, portable, and also has touch.

Reservations for all accommodation - whether made by telephone, fax, in person, in writing or from the internet - are accepted by Manor Cottages, hereinafter referred to as MC, on behalf of Property Owners with the following conditions:
Contract of Hire
The Hiring Contract will be between you the Hirer and the Owner of the property for which the booking is made and shall be deemed to be made subject to the Conditions of Hire and governed by English Law. The Contract is for the hire of the holiday property for the specified dates in the booking confirmation. MC act as Agents for owners, and are not Principals. The Contract of Hire is not effective until MC despatches to the Hirer written confirmation of the booking. We do not accept bookings from Hirers under 18 years of age or individuals booking a property for sole use by under 18 year olds. All Bookings for more than 12 months in advance need to be made over the telephone or by email enquiry to email@example.com.
Initial Payment
Property bookings will be confirmed upon receipt by MC of the required deposit payment and the booking fee. However, if the booking is made within EIGHT weeks of the start/commencement date, the full accommodation rental sum will be required.
Balance Payment
The Balance of the Hire will be due for payment EIGHT weeks before the property booking commencement date. The Owner / MC reserves the right to cancel a property booking where full payment has not been received by 35 days before the property booking commencement date. The deposit paid on the booking is non-refundable and the customer remains liable for the balance payment. Please also read Booking Cancellation below.
Credit Cards and Bank Transfers
Payments for property bookings may be made by credit or debit card. Payments made by bank transfer should include any handling charges and any bank charges are to be borne by the customer.
Value Added Tax
Where VAT applies to the property rental, it is included in the quoted price at the prevailing rate, i.e. 20%. All VAT inclusive rentals are subject to change if the rate changes. Please note that the MC Confirmation of Booking is not a VAT invoice.
Confirmation of Booking
Once MC has issued a 'Confirmation of Booking', either by post or email, the Hirer is responsible for the total published price of the property and any extras as shown on the confirmation. Any amendments to bookings, where applicable, will be subject to a £25 administration fee.
Vouchers, Offers & Bookings with a Low Deposit
Occasionally, MC offer bookings to be made with a 'Low Deposit'. All bookings made with Low Deposits are intended to assist customers in budgeting. MC require the 'balance of the holiday cottage booking value' (that amount which is oustanding when reserving a cottage) payable in full 12 weeks before you arrive at the holiday property. Deposits must be paid using a valid debit or credit card, with an expiry date beyond the holiday date, as outstanding balances will be automatically deducted using the SagePay Secure payment system. When you book a property with a Low Deposit, you agree to pay the difference between the amount paid and the full cottage value plus any other associated fees. Property bookings made with a Low Deposit will have the outstanding balance automatically collected/deducted 12 weeks before the booking starts. If payment fails, MC will take all reasonable steps to collect the outstanding deposit balance payment. However if final payment is not received within 48 hours of the 12 week deadline, MC reserve the right to cancel the booking and retain the Low Deposit amount. MC will advise the customer immediately when this is the case. When you book a property with a Low deposit your booking is subject to all other MC Terms and Conditions, including that you are liable for the full booking price, as specified on your booking confirmation. If you cancel, you must also pay all other cancellation charges which may apply. Please note: One Low Deposit Booking per household.
Where MC offers a Voucher Code, please note that the correct and relevant code must be used either on the telephone or in the voucher code box (found on the website booking page). Failure to use this code or quote this code on the telephone or on the website will deem the property booking is not included within the terms of the voucher code offer. All vouchers have dates where the code is 'live' and available, customers must have completed the booking(s) within the stated time frame and date to qualify for the voucher code incentive. MC will act as final arbiter in any disputes on the validity of a request for a booking to be included within in advertised voucher code promotion. All bookings made with a voucher code, low deposit or offer are made under the normal terms and conditions of all bookings, there are no exclusions. Any offers, voucher codes, incentives or similar cannot be used in conjunction with each other (or other offers/reductions agreed) for bookings. MC will endeavour, in good faith, to ensure that the best offer is placed on the booking, but cannot be held responsible for mistakes.
Booking Cancellation
Customers are STRONGLY ADVISED to make their own travel insurance arrangements to ensure cover in the event you have to cancel your booking. If you are forced to cancel your property booking you must inform MC immediately and follow this with a written confirmation via email or posted letter to MC's office.
The use of accommodation and amenities, where offered, such as swimming pools, tennis courts or fishing lakes, is entirely at the user's risk, and no responsibility can be accepted for injury, loss or damage to user's or visitor's belongings.
Party Make Up and Numbers
Under NO circumstances may more than the maximum number of persons, as stated on the website, occupy a property at any time. Single sex parties over 6 people must be advised to MC at the time of booking, in order to advise owner. Failure to do so may result in loss of deposit and loss of cottage. Customers must make it clear at the time of booking if their stay at a holiday property is work-related.
Owners reserve the right to refuse admittance or eject customers / guests if these conditions are not observed.
In addition, MC and the owners reserve the right to refuse or revoke any bookings from parties or groups or individuals that may, in their opinion and at their sole discretion, be unsuitable for the property concerned. No properties or rooms within properties can, under any circumstances be sublet to a third party or be supplied/used by guests not named at the point of booking. In all instances, MC and the owners reserve the right to refuse bookings if, in their opinion, this condition is violated.
In certain instances, and where specified within the property description, a property may offer the use of an extra bed, sofa bed or similar sleeping arrangement for an additional fee. Although our website will give a property booking price indication (listed as 'Full and All Inclusive Price'), please be aware that as certain properties charge different prices for the use of the extra bed, and in such cases you will be asked for this amount IN ADDITION to the full and inclusive price quoted on the MC website.
Hirer's Responsibilities
The Hirer is responsible for the property and is expected to take all reasonable care of it during their stay. All equipment, utensils, etc must be left clean and correctly replaced in their original location, and the property must be left clean and tidy at the end of the hire period. Pets should not be left unattended in the property at any time, and should not be allowed to climb or sit on furniture. It is requested also that pets not be allowed in bedroom areas of properties.
All damages, breakages and moving of furniture are the legal responsibility of the Hirer and the Hirer's party. They must be notified to the owner or keyholder before the end of the booking period. Their cost(s) shall be refundable on demand. While minor damage or breakages will not normally be charged, we do reserve the right to charge bad tenants for extra cleaning, breakage or damage and may refuse future bookings.
The Holiday Home Owner reserves the right to repossess the Holiday Home at any time, where the Hirer or any member of the Hirer's party has caused damage. The Home Owner shall not be liable to make a refund of any remaining portion of the hire terms paid.
Any Damages/Security Deposits charged by the owner and administered by the Owner themselves or by MC will be cashed no more than one week before the booking start date to allow for bank clearance, and reimbursed promptly after the booking departure date (less any penalties which may be incurred). MC reserves the right to request payment of a security deposit should it be deemed necessary by the Owner.
Please note that all properties are NON SMOKING within the building(s) associated with your property booking. If customers or their guests are found to be smoking within the property they may be asked to leave. Owners or their representatives may stipulate that smoking is permissable outside the property buildings(s).
If MC or the owners or their representatives find guests have ignored this rule, customers will find themsleves both legally and financially liable for actions and work required to return the property to its original state. While MC will try to ensure non-smoking as stated above, it cannot be held responsible for guests' behaviour at or within the property.
Customer Service
If you are dissatisfied with the service you have received you should follow the Customer Service procedure outlined in the FAQ's section of the website. Any contract shall be governed by English Law and interpretation.
MC takes every care to ensure the accuracy of the property descriptions and prices. All information in the brochure and on our website is given in good faith and is believed to be correct at the time of going to press, but MC cannot be held responsible for misunderstandings or changes beyond its control, which may become known after publication of this literature. Owners reserve the right to change prices after publication. The statements and prices in the brochure, the website and elsewhere are made in good faith but the agent has no liability for inaccuracies.
Although we inspect properties and take seriously any complaints we receive from customers, MC does not accept any liability for the failure of the owner to keep the property and its contents in good condition. The owner is ultimately responsible for resolving any difficulties which you may experience with the property you have booked. MC cannot be held responsible for construction work carried out at neighbouring properties, but will attempt to advise potential customers at the point of booking if work is on-going.
In addition, whilse we advertise properties as 'non-smoking' or 'no pets', as instructed by the Owner, we cannot guarantee the fact. The Property description shows the amenities a property has but generally does not state what is not included in the property.
Further, MC cannot accept liability or responsibility for happenings outside its reasonable control, such as breakdown of domestic appliances, plumbing, wiring, temporary invasion of pests, damage resulting from exceptional weather conditions or the owner's negligence resulting in loss, injury or accident.
Please be aware that if a property is advertised as having an enclosed garden, this does not necessarily mean a secure garden. It may be enclosed by hedging or open style fencing.
In the event of any dispute between parties it shall be referred to the jurisdiction of the English courts only and any actions shall be heard in the court for the area in which the property is located. Any disputes arising between you and The Owner or MC, if not mutually resolved, can be referred to a single arbitrator agreed, or in the default of such agreement, to the President for the time being of the Law Society or Institute of Arbitrators. In either case, such arbitration would be subject to the provisions of the Arbitration Act of 1996 or any statutory modification thereof for the time being in force. All parties will contribute equally to the cost of Arbitration.
Force Majeure
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking Conditions, we regret that neither MC or the Owner can accept liability or pay any compensation as a result of 'force majeure'. In these Terms and Conditions 'force majeure' means an event beyond the reasonable control of the Owner and/or MC which MC or the Owner in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid - including, but not limited to - strike, lock-out, labour dispute, act of God, acts of terrorism, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, compliance with a law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, insolvency or bankruptcy of an Owner, fire, flood, snow and storm, difficulty or increased cost in obtaining workers, goods or transport and other circumstances affecting the supply of goods or services.
The Hiring Contract is made on the understanding that the property and its facilities will be available for the dates stated. Without prejudice to the foregoing, in the event that a property is not available or is unuseable due to events arising outside the control of MC or the Owner, MC may be forced to cancel the booking or offer suitable alternative accommodation. The Hirer will be advised as early as possible. The Hirer will not have any further claims against MC or the owner. No compensation, costs, expenses or other sums (including, without limitation, the cost of securing alternative accommodation) will be payable in any other such circumstances by either the owner or MC.
Please note that reservation requests taken via our website are not confirmed bookings until we have contacted you and accepted a payment.
These Booking Terms and Conditions supersede any previous issues.

Lana Del Rey wooed by movie mogul at Cannes to star in new film
Lana Del Rey is wanted by Miramax co-founder Harvey Weinstein to star in an upcoming film project.
The Sun reports that Weinstein feels the Video Games songstress has the potential to be a real hit on the big screen and was overheard telling her at the Cannes Film Festival: 'The camera loves you.'
The singer was in Cannes for the festival's opening ceremony last week and took in the new picture Moonrise Kingdom.
Weinstein was behind huge film smashes such as Pulp Fiction, The King's Speech and The Artist and claims that Lana, real name Lizzy Grant, would be 'perfect' for the role he has in mind.
A source told the newspaper: 'Harvey thinks there's something about Lana.
'He knows all about her music but believes she's got what it takes to be a film star.
'She's got the looks and a stage presence which he thinks will transfer well to the big screen.'
Lana is no stranger to film, having directed and edited her own DIY promo for hit single Video Games while she is generally known to be a serious and artistic person.
The clip released to promote her second single, Born To Die, was dramatic and artistic in equal measure.

With 100 days left before the Olympic Games in London, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has launched an online athletes' headquarters designed to serve as a social media platform enhancing the digital connection between fans and competitors.
The Olympic Athletes' Hub aggregates the social media feeds of more than 1,000 current and former Olympians. It will post content directly from their Facebook and Twitter accounts and incorporate a gamification layer so fans can interact with the site. Users will be able to access exclusive training-tips videos and gain virtual and real-world prizes according to how many athletes they like and follow online.
The organizers of this year's games are calling 2012 the first year the games have been truly social. But athletes will not be allowed to tweet photos of themselves with products that aren't official Olympics sponsors or share photos or videos from inside the athletes' village. Fans, too, could be barred from sharing on Facebook and YouTube photos and videos of themselves enjoying the action.
The Olympic games were first broadcast on television in Rome in 1960. This year, NBCOlympics.com announced it is reversing an earlier policy and will stream live all 32 sports at the Olympic Games in London, The New York Times reports.
"If cameras are on it, we'll stream it," said Rick Cordella, vice president and general manager of NBC Sports Digital Media.
Two years ago, at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, only hockey and curling were streamed live in order to protect prime time. At the 2008 Beijing Summer Games, 25 sports were streamed live but none of them were important to the evening broadcast, which is usually at least four hours long.
The London 2012 Olympics are going 3D in the UK — or a few parts of it at least. The BBC has announced that fans will be able to watch the opening ceremony, closing ceremony, men's 100m final and daily highlights in 3D. The Beeb's main standard-definition transmission will be on BBC One, the HD simulcast will be on BBC One HD and the 3D version will be on the BBC HD Channel.
Security has been the major issue facing the Olympics after four suicide bombers killed 52 people on three packed underground trains and a bus the day after London was awarded the Games on July 6, 2005.
"Terrorism is a threat for any major western country," London Olympics Minister Hugh Robertson told a news conference in Kew Gardens to mark the 100-day countdown. "It is now and it always has been.
NBC is dispatching about 1,500 people to the U.K. They'll be working in 65,000 square feet of space inside the International Broadcast Centre, plus various event and non-event venues in and around London. Live video will be transmitted between New York and London using a mix of satellites and four OC-48 (2.488 Gbps) fiber links provided by AT&T. NBC has also signed a deal with YouTube for it to provide the video player on NBCOlympics.com, which will carry some 3,000 hours of the network's Olympic coverage.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salami and garlic and cook, about 1 minute. Crush the tomatoes into the pan with your hands and cook until slightly dry, about 5 minutes. Add the reserved tomato juice, basil, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Increase the heat to high and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup water and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let simmer while you cook the ravioli.
Add salt to the boiling water, then add the ravioli and cook as the label directs; drain. Divide the ravioli among shallow bowls, spoon the sauce on top and sprinkle with the cheese. Garnish with more basil.

The low heart rate, water retention and fatigue have all but disappeared for Bob Fouts since doctors implanted a pacemaker in the 79-year-old Korean War veteran.
To top it off, Fouts will still be able to undergo an MRI for his unrelated back ailment and leg pain because he has a new type of pacemaker that can withstand the test's powerful magnetic field. The retired security guard was the first patient to have the device implanted in a south suburban hospital — at MetroSouth Medical Center in Blue Island earlier this year.
Until the new MRI-compatible pacemaker was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in February, patients often had to settle for alternative, more invasive tests that don't pinpoint medical problems as well.
MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of the organs, tissues and skeletal system. Patients lie inside a large, tube-shaped machine to have the test done. But the magnetic field can heat up a regular pacemaker's wires, causing the device to malfunction or create an irregular heartbeat in the patient.
The new devices are constructed of nonmetallic material and wires with extra insulation. Medtronic, a large Minnesota-based medical technology company, developed the new Revo MRI SureScan pacemaker.
But a major drawback of the new technology is that Medicare won't pay for an MRI in individuals who have any type of pacemaker, unless the patients are in certain clinical trials. Some private insurers will cover the cost. MRIs typically cost up to several thousand dollars.
Dr. Sean Tierney, a cardiologist and electrophysiologist at MetroSouth, who implanted Fouts' device, said he thinks Medicare will fund MRIs for patients with the new pacemakers once the insurer reviews the data showing the device is safe.
"We have to wait for the payment questions to meet the technology," said Tierney.
Fouts, of Blue Island, had MRIs in the past for various medical problems and anticipates needing the test in the future. He also has congestive heart failure, a low heart rate and diverticulitis.
"His heart rate was very slow and causing him to fill up with water, and he has a history of severe back pain and neuropathy (nerve damage) in his legs, which put him at high risk for needing an MRI in the future," said Tierney.
Tierney pointed out that patients are more likely to need an MRI after age 65.
Fouts said he was initially a bit skeptical about having a pacemaker implanted in his body, but said the procedure improved his health and stamina. He also doesn't have to worry about having an MRI.
"My legs are warm at night, they're not cold, and I can sleep at night," said Fouts. "It improved my health enormously."

Little did she know, an unexpected day of pampering awaited Ginnee Siegel when she checked in for her facial appointment at the Minnesota State College Southeast Cosmetology Academy in Winona on Thursday, October 27.
As she entered the salon, the gathered students and instructors greeted her with a unison chorus of "Hello Gorgeous!" Cameras flashed, newspaper reporters took notes, and countless smartphones were raised to document the moment. Ginnee's first reaction was to look behind her and see if they were looking for someone else. No, they weren't!
Cosmetology instructor Jodi Heim had nominated Ginnee to be treated to the "Hello Gorgeous!" red carpet experience. Hello Gorgeous! is a non-profit organization that provides complimentary, professional makeovers and cosmetic education to women battling all cancers.
Jodi Heim's former salon in St. Charles was a Hello Gorgeous! affiliate. Minnesota State College Southeast is the first college in the country to become an affiliate, and Ginnee was selected to be the first guest in what is hoped to become a monthly offering.
A native of Winona, Ginnee now lives in the Chicago area, where she taught children with behavioral issues for most of her career. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, she returned to Winona for treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Her niece Gina Glasspoole was in on the surprise and helped Jodi coordinate Ginnee's schedule so that she would arrive on time and be free all afternoon.
"My niece told me they had called her with two free facials and offered me one of them. I almost didn't make it because I had to see the doctor in the morning," said Ginnee, who was convinced to come in for the appointment anyway.
"The look on her face when she walked in was priceless," student Tina Daffinson told the Winona Daily News. "It takes a lot of positive thinking to try and stay strong, be positive, and surround yourself with positive people."
Ginnee has been a client of the cosmetology salon for at least 25 years. "I love coming here," she said. "It's really enjoyable and it's nice being around young people. People have always been considerate and helpful -- and it's good quality work."
First up was a facial, followed by a manicure and pedicure. While enjoying a lunch donated by the Steak Shoppe, Ginnee viewed three outfits selected especially for her from Maurices. After lunch, she tried them on and chose her favorite pieces -- a new jacket, blouse, jeans, necklace and boots -- all of which she wore home at the end of the day.
After lunch, instructor Jodi Heim styled Ginnee's auburn wig and a second wig, which was another gift for her to take home. As Jodi expertly clipped and sprayed them, it was hard to remember they weren't Ginnee's natural hair. The final step in her day of pampering was a professional makeup application.
The Hello Gorgeous! experience isn't about a beauty makeover in the traditional sense. It's more about caring for women who are facing tough challenges and giving them a "day off" to be pampered. And it can be an learning experience, too.
"It gives us an opportunity to teach [cancer patients] how to apply eyebrows if they don't have any, how to make it look like they have lashes when they don't, or how to work with a wig," Jodi Heim told a reporter from the Winona Post. "It's also an opportunity for us to educate them on questions that they might be afraid to ask otherwise."
After getting her photo taken with the students, Ginnee was escorted to her car by students who were only too happy to help her carry her gifts, which included a wealth of beauty supplies donated by L'Oreal, Redken, Pureology and Mary Kay as well as flowers and chocolates presented by the students.
"It's been awesome! I've never had anything like this happen before," Ginnee exclaimed. "I'll remember this forever. I feel very special supported, cared for, and loved."
She plans to come back again soon. "We'll see you again -- maybe with a few less photographers next time!"

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 27, 2014) - ZENN Motor Company Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ZNN) ("ZENN" or the "Company") announced today that it has completed the transactions contemplated by the investment agreement (the "Investment Agreement") entered into with EEStor, Inc. ("EEStor") and certain directors, officers and significant shareholders of EEStor (the "EEStor Principals") and announced by ZENN on December 23, 2013.
ZENN has acquired 369,167 shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock ("Series A1 Shares") of EEStor from treasury in consideration for an aggregate cash investment of US$1.0 million. The Series A1 Shares carry one vote per share and rank equally and have identical terms to the Series A Preferred Shares recently acquired by ZENN other than in respect of the amount of priority entitlement on liquidation or wind-up. The issuance of the Series A1 Shares provided ZENN with combined holdings of 51% of the outstanding equity and voting shares of EEStor on an as-converted basis.
In addition, the EEStor Principals and their immediate family members exercised in full a right granted at closing to exchange up to 360,000 of their EEStor common shares for common shares of ZENN on the basis of 15 ZENN common shares for each EEStor share so exchanged. ZENN issued 5,400,000 common shares in connection with this share exchange. Following the acquisition of the additional 360,000 EEStor common shares, ZENN now owns approximately 68.4% of the equity and voting shares of EEStor on an as-converted basis. ZENN has also been granted the right to acquire all remaining EEStor shares held by the EEStor Principals and their immediate family members at an agreed upon value or fair value as determined by an independent valuator if agreement cannot be reached at any time before a merger of ZENN and EEStor, which the parties have agreed to explore.
In consideration for their facilitation of the financing transaction and changes in the board and management of EEStor, the EEStor Principals have been issued an aggregate of 600,000 common shares of ZENN, 150,000 of which are held in escrow and will be released after 4-months subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. All 6,000,000 common shares of ZENN issued pursuant to the Investment Agreement are subject to a 4-month hold period in Canada.
The board of directors of EEStor has been reconstituted to six members, two of whom are to be nominated by the EEStor Principals provided that they and their immediate family members continue to hold at least 15% of the EEStor voting shares, and four of whom will be nominated by ZENN, provided that two must be independent of ZENN and EEStor. Upon closing, Stewart Somers and Roger Hammock, current directors of ZENN were appointed to the EEStor board. The EEStor board now is comprised of five directors with a sixth independent director to be nominated by ZENN to fill the current vacancy.
At closing, Richard Weir, a co-founder of EEStor, resigned as Chief Executive Officer and was appointed as Honorary Chairman, Founder and Chief Science Officer of EEStor. The current CFO of EEStor will stay on for a transitional period of three months. During the transition period the new EEStor board will look to fill the roles of CEO and CFO.
EEStor has engaged Mr. Jamin Patrick as a consultant for the transition period during which time Mr. Patrick will lead the transition and assist in the development of a plan for EEStor going forward. Mr. Patrick holds Bachelor of Science (Engineering) and MBA degrees and was most recently President of Thermal Dynamics, LLC, a California-based Tier 1 supplier of heat exchangers to vehicle original equipment manufacturers. Mr. Patrick has also served as Director of the Austin Technology Incubator and Managing Director of the Austin office of garage.com (now Garage Technology Ventures), where he worked with early stage technology companies. In addition, EEStor is forming a Technical Advisory Committee for the transition period. The Committee will report to the Board and Mr. Patrick and will assist in evaluating both the state of the current EEStor technology and its potential applications. The Committee is to be comprised of leading individuals with backgrounds in science, industry and academics. It is expected that after the transition period the Committee will be formalized on a longer term basis.
James Kofman, Chairman of ZENN commented, "The completion of these transactions represents a very important milestone for both ZENN and EEStor. ZENN is now in a position to assist and direct EEStor as it pursues the development of its technology. There has been uncertainty about the current state of EEStor technology and of testing results. The immediate priority of the companies is to complete development of reliable testing protocols and to develop an understanding of where the technology stands today. Mr. Weir will be in a position to give his undivided attention to the continued development of the EESU layers." Mr. Kofman added, "Through these transactions and the prior purchase of Series A Preferred Stock in EEStor from various vendors in December, 2013, ZENN has increased its ownership of EEStor by over 500% while only increasing its shares outstanding by approximately 34%. Should the EEStor technology prove successful, ZENN shareholders will have dramatically increased their exposure to the upside through these deals; of course it all depends on developing and proving the technology. We are fortunate to have an individual as capable as Mr. Patrick to help us assess the opportunities and to plan a path forward. We welcome the Weirs as shareholders of ZENN and we are pleased to see that our interests are now fully aligned."
During the transition period ZENN and EEStor expect to:

Public Sector Customers Gain Path to Cloud Compliance Through Expanded Relationship With AWS and Day1 Solutions
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - June 20, 2016) - Infor, a leading provider of beautiful business applications specialized by industry and built for the cloud, today announced an initiative to make Infor CloudSuite Public Sector available to government agencies and publicly-run industries that are required to meet FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) compliance standards. The system will be hosted on the Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) GovCloud (US), further strengthening Infor's alignment with a leading cloud provider, AWS. The agreement will also provide Infor with guidance from AWS Partner Network (APN) partner, Day1 Solutions, a strategic consulting organization that specializes in cloud implementations. In addition, Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (Kratos) will serve as an advisor to Infor for meeting FedRAMP requirements.
"We are fortunate to have a strong APN partner community of companies who share a focus on customer experience, rapid pace of innovation, and standards-based architecture," said Teresa Carlson, Vice President, Worldwide Public Sector, AWS, Inc. "This collaboration allows Infor to focus on its core competency of building the best enterprise applications for their customers, who in turn benefit from the most advanced infrastructure for cloud deployment with AWS."
Infor's cloud-first approach delivers a unique value proposition to both government and private sector customers, by offering software-as-a-service (SaaS) hosting options with a diverse range of industry-specific capabilities. For Infor customers in the public sector, the demand for cloud technology comes with the expectation for a high level of security and compliance standards. By provisioning Infor CloudSuites within the AWS GovCloud (US), government customers will be able to migrate to FedRAMP authorized cloud environment, an industry standard that can be applied to all of Infor's enterprise customers.
"We have invested in providing our customers with the best functionality, security, reliability, and services, all grouped within the industry-tailored Infor CloudSuite Public Sector that is optimized to fit the unique compliance needs of the Federal Government," said Wayne Bobby, vice president, Infor Federal. "We have a growing demand from our government community to provide cloud options that meet FedRAMP controls and we feel AWS GovCloud (US) delivers the best cloud platform. Through this process we will gain best practices that we can then apply to any of our global customers that look towards FedRAMP as the cloud compliance standard."
Infor first aligned with AWS in April of 2014, a relationship that has helped Infor achieve significant growth in cloud adoption amongst customers. This is in part due to the high standards for security, compliance, and best practices that are achieved through AWS hosted cloud deployment. The expansion to the AWS GovCloud (US) represents a strategic advancement in Infor's evolution as industry cloud-company by securing a path for government-regulated organizations to benefit from the agility and elasticity of the SaaS model. The combination of Infor business applications with last mile functionality, the reliability of AWS and the implementation expertise of Day1 Solutions creates a considerable value proposition for public sector customers looking to migrate to the cloud.

My wishes for her forties...at the center of the bracelet is a sterling silver wishbone.
I selected smooth iolite rondelles and faceted rondelles of pale smoky quartz because they reminded me of denim and champagne! Once you hit your forties, you care less about pretense and are more than comfortable popping open an expensive bottle of bubbly in your blue jeans and your favorite t-shirt.
I included a hummingbird because they represent the enjoyment of life and lightness of being; a lotus blossom symbolizes the purity and the love of god; and the owl is sacred to the Greek goddess of knowledge. Life, faith, and knowledge. That is bliss.
Happy 40th, S. Hope you like it.

It's hard to believe that 2NE1 has only been around for a year. YG Entertainment's fierce girl group already seemed like pros when they made their debut in 2009, and shot straight to the top of K-Pop charts with hits like "Lollipop", "Fire" and "I Don't Care".

Countdown, Music Bank's K-Chart, Inkigayo's Mutizen Award), entering the Top 10 on iTunes in the U.S. and even peaked at #7 on the Billboard Top 10 World Albums Chart! The pre-orders for the album reached 120,000 copies and sold more than 100,000 copies in 5 days, according to YG Entertainment. The music videos of "Can't Nobody," "Go Away," and "Clap Your Hands" have been viewed 8.69 million times on YouTube in just one week, making the 2NE1 YouTube channel the #1 most viewed for the week. The album contains 12 tracks including "Can't Nobody" "Go Away" "Clap Your Hands" and "It Hurts"
At the "2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards" held this past November, 2NE1 won the 'Album of the Year Award' for 'To Anyone', 'Female Group Award', 'Best Digital Single Award' and the 'Musical Award', for a total of 4 distinctive honors. While at 2010 MMA (Melon Music Awards), 2NE1 won the 'Album Award' for 'To Anyone' and the 'Melon Music Award Top 10.
