Political Grapevine
January 23, 2009
by Steven Brown
Fox News
President Obama has made it clear that fighting obesity is a key part of his health care reform plan. In tonight's "America's Future" report, Correspondent Steve Brown tells us how the new administration may have to spend money on that fight now in order to save even more down the road.
BARACK OBAMA, (D) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: The challenges we face are real. They are serious, and they are many.
STEVEN BROWN, FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Among those challenges, America's seemingly never-ending battle of the bulge.
OBAMA: If we could get a handle on obesity, we also then save money in the healthcare system and in our federal budget, as well as giving people improved quality of life.
BROWN: And the new president sets a good example of a healthy lifestyle.
JEFFREY LEVI, TRUST FOR AMERICA'S HEALTH: What will be critical is translating his personal lifestyle choices into policies that make it possible for all Americans to make the kind of healthy choices that he has made.
BROWN: Jeffrey Levi is the executive director of the think tank Trust for America's Health.
LEVI: Chronic disease accounts for 70 percent of healthcare costs in the United States. Most of those chronic diseases relate back to physical activity and obesity.
BROWN: And this report by Levi's organization out last year got the attention of the Obama team. It suggests increased government spending on preventable chronic diseases could actually save $16 billion.
LEVI: What we found was that within five years, we could see a $5.60 return on that investment for every dollar that we put into prevention programs.
BROWN: Programs like keeping schools open after hours so children can play, making nutritious food more affordable in low-income areas, and raising cigarette and tobacco taxes.
During his confirmation hearings, Health and Human Services Secretary nominee Tom Daschle cited the study.
TOM DASCHLE, HHS SECRETARY-DESIGNATE: We're not doing as good a job as we should. We don't have the resources. We don't have the personnel. And I don't think we have the priority that it deserves.

Death is the second-most-feared phenomenon worldwide; the first is public speaking. But let's not get into that. For centuries, people have wished for immortality; everybody wants to see the world change over the centuries. And now, the latest game from Mistwalker studios for the Xbox 360 called Lost Odyssey is about an immortal called Kaim, a warrior who has lived for a thousand years. The game is a very emotional tale about Kaim and his journey to rediscover himself, as he has lost his memory (a thousand years of memories can be overwhelming).
The game is about 50 hours long, with CG video every 15 minutes or so. The presentation is pretty good, with some amazing CG videos and soulful music that will mesmerize you for hours after you're done playing. It all looks amazing, and the visuals are on par with those of some of the best RPGs in the market. The only issue is that the game takes forever to load.. and there is a lot of loading. You'll spend at least 15 to 30 seconds on every level load.
This is a great game, but nothing exceptional. It's very slow and will not quite click with the action-oriented crowd. It looks brilliant, but at the same time, the load times are irritating. The frame rate drops at times, which is unpleasant. Buy this game if you enjoy slow turn-based RPGs; it will be a great addition to your Xbox 360 collection.
I got this game yesterday, the load times arn't bad at all, i haven't had one over about 5 seconds yet. I also haven't noticed any frame rate issues either. I only played one JRPG and that was on the dreamcast but so far I am pretty happy with my purchase. The story is good and the CG cutscenes are nice too. The opening CG is probably the best one i've ever seen in a game.
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the load times reduced in the final verison. The main reason why Gamestop will be changing the score on the game. MS decided to send the reviewers the Pre-release version of the game.

We know STD testing is highly sensitive and confidential, which is why we have Anonymous Testing Available. This means No Name is Required, and NO ONE can receive information without your written consent.
Orange County STD Center we use the HSV-2 Test. The ONLY screening that:
- Detects antibodies for HSV-2 only
- 98% Specificity (compared to Western blot)
- HSV-2 antibodies can be detected in as little as 2-14 days post-exposure
- Provides results in just 3 days
- 96% Sensitivity (compared to Western blot)
Why should I get tested for Herpes?
Genital Herpes is a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD), usually common to people from the ages 12 and older. Caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 or HSV-2, this infection occurs during sexual contact with someone who has genital HSV-2 infection. An outbreak of sores usually occurs within 2 weeks after the virus is transmitted, and typically heals in 2 to 4 weeks.
Herpes "sores" cause recurrent painful genital sores in many adults, frequently causing psychological distress in people who know they are infected. About 40 million adult Americans have HSV-2 mostNOT knowing they have it. For both types of infections, HSV-1 (Common Cold Sores) and HSV-2, at least two-thirds of infected individuals have NO SYMPTOMS, or symptoms too mild to notice.
How do I get tested for Genital Herpes or HSV-2?
There are a variety of ways to get tested for Herpes such as Viral Culture and certain blood tests. The problem with most standard tests for Herpes, like the ELISA test is, the inability to distinguish between HSV-1 and HSV-2.
This often very easily provides a false-positive result. Which means you can be told you have Genital Herpes when, in fact, you don't.

Have you heard that Millennials treat their pets like a trial to when they have kids of their own? Well, I'm not a Millennial and I've always treated my pets as part of the family. I don't see where they are doing things differently.
Treating your pets like they were part of your family isn't new. In fact, I remember my mom cooking for our dogs, even though we could afford dog food. She said she didn't like to feed them all those conservatives and preservatives. She didn't feed us that why would she feed the dogs differently? She was way ahead of her time. The only time we took the dogs to the vet was for their shots and in case some emergency came up, and they lived a long, healthy life for as long as a dog should live.
That need to keep my supplements organic and all-natural definitely comes from watching how my mom behaved. Unless it was something serious that only a doctor could help, I always cured my ailments with homemade remedies and prevented them with a healthy diet. And the same goes for my two dogs.
Connor and Rosie get the same treatment my mother would have given them: homemade meals and all-organic organic Chaga powder dog treats. Well, my mom wouldn't know what wild Chaga mushroom is or its benefits on dogs, but if she did she would definitely approve them.
I think the organic Chaga benefits are clear just by looking at my dogs. Their immune system is stronger than any of the other dogs I know and I've been trying to convince some dog owners from around the block to try the Chaga treats on theirs. The dogs won't even notice the different taste because it's so mild and I know how they can be picky.

Karen todos los bloques son muy, muy guapos
¡¡¡ la cesta !!! es mi favorito
Oh la la...all your blocks are perfectly done and I especially love the brown background for the first block. It glorifies (? can I say that ?) the others colors !ReplyDelete

I like the stripe basket, too. I recently broke down and bought the BTCT pattern. I started saving it when they first came out but didn't make it past month 3. It is such a fun quilt in my favorite colors, red and green!ReplyDelete
Oh Karen, your cherry blocks are gorgeous! I've been doing other stitching, but want to get back to my hand appliqué!
Blessings and hug!m
Wow! I'm always in awe at the amount of quilting you get done! Hand applique is not a quick project! Your blocks are all so lovely! Thank you for sharing, it is so inspiring! Cheers!ReplyDelete

In Project Management, there are a lot of challenges which Project Managers (PMs) need to manage to keep their God (their client) happy. However, this shouldn't been thought in an extreme way. In reality, some PMs may get this wrong when they put client on the "VERY" top priority when dealing with issues happening during project life cycle.
Yes, client's happiness is always one of project goals. However, there're many other stakeholders, beside client, whose interest PMs also need to balance to make them happy. A project is considered to be successful, ideally, when all stakeholders are happy. A project in which only client is happy while other stakeholders are disappointed is considered as a failure.
1. Background
Let's take a look at PMBOK v4, Stakeholder Management.
"Stakeholders are persons or organizations (eg., customers, sponsors, the performing organization or the public), who are actively involved in the project or whose interests may be positively or negatively affected by the performance or completion of the project"
In reality, typical stakeholders in Software Development are described in the below diagram.
3. Case studies
3.1 Case study 1
With strong technical background and many years of experience in software development, Lee had moved up to Project Manager position for a few years. Also, with excellent communication skill, Lee managed client's expectation very well.
One day, Lee planned for a project to be finished in 4 months. During project execution, Lee received many requests from client, some of them were detailed requirements, the other were changes against the original requirements. To make client happy, Lee clarified the requests and was willing to support every single request from client.
After two months, due to reworking for supporting changes and due to new requests coming in, Lee saw that he couldn't deliver the project in the 2 months left so he asked the team to work late. Lee also requested for additional team members to support. Consequently, during the last 2 months the team worked really hard and under a lot of pressure from Lee. Finally, the project was delivered on time and also at good quality. Client was happy.
At the project post-moterm review, Lee's program manager told him that even he had managed to deliver project on time, the project couldn't considered as a success. Firstly, many team members had escalated to their line managers that they're unhappy with Lee, some of them even resigned from the company. Secondly, the effort was overrun more than 50%.
Being disagree, Lee argued to the program manager. He said, after all client was happy with the project and it should be a successful project.
Root cause analysis
Lee is a particular example of Technical Project Manager. Under stakeholder management aspect, Lee managed well one key stakeholder which was the client. However, he didn't manage other key stakeholders which are project team members and the program manager.
3.1 Case study 2
Nam was the Project Manager and he had started one ODC for nearly 6 months. During this time, client was impressed with Nam in communication and managing their expectation. He's often very clear and very sharp when resolving project issues.
While Nam was always on time in supporting client requests, he often had problem with his program manager. He wasn't willing and proactive in giving report/information to the program manager. Project status reports were often late or forgotten, he only shared the information to the program manager when being asked.
He was also very strict in adding people to the project. Many people who were proposed to his project were often rejected by him because they didn't have enough required technical skills. Furthermore, he was also not willing to collaborate with QA Manager to follow the working processes.
As the result, the program manager didn't know whether Nam was doing a good job but he was even annoyed being escalated some issues which he was not reported upfront.
At the project performance review, even Nam had done a good job in making client happy, he still didn't receive good compliment in the project and was asked to improve the way to work and support the program manager, the QA Manager and support to develop people in the company.
Root cause analysis
Like the first case study, Nam supported very well one key stakeholder which was the client. However, he didn't manage other key stakeholders who are the program manager, the QA Manager and the Resource Manager.
4. Typical Stakeholders and Their Expectation
Identifying all possible stakeholders together with their interest is the key point to succeed. In general, I list out here very typical stakeholders which PMs need to manage their expectation to make sure they are happy, hence the project becomes successful.
|The software package is delivered on time with good quality.
Program Manager
|- The
project is finished with good quality, on time and within
- The information/report are provided in time.
|QA Manager
|The project team follows the
standard process
The project team contributes to the process asset
|Functional Managers
|(QA/QC Manager, Technical Manager and Resource
- Project team members are utilized well and have right assignments
- Project team members are developed and grow in the project
- Principles/policies are followed.
|Sales team
|Commitments made to client as stated in SOW/Contract are satisfied.
|Project team
|Good team spirit
Right workload during project life cycle
Client happiness is always a clear goal in every project. However, beside client there are still other stakeholders who are also important to the project's success and so important to the reputation of PMs. A PM whom many people are concerned to work with couldn't be a good PM, a PM who only focuses on his own project and doesn't support to grow the organization couldn't be good neither, etc.

Working to Make a Difference in the Lives of People
Makis Papataxiarchis, Managing Director of Janssen Greece, President οf PhRMA Innovation Forum, and Chairman of AmCham's Pharmaceutical Committee, discusses the challenges of healthcare in Greece and the importance of innovation and cooperation in building a sustainable, patient-centric healthcare system.
Mr. Papataxiarchis, as Chairman of the Chamber's Pharmaceutical Committee, how would you describe the current healthcare landscape?
In healthcare, there's no time to waste. There are diseases to be treated, medicines to be developed, and lives to be enhanced and transformed. Today's medical challenges are far more complex than ever before.
Medicines are an integral part of healthcare and contribute significantly to saving and extending patients' lives. Innovation in medicine has made a major contribution to reducing mortality rates in many conditions. Pharmaceutical expenditure is a large contributor to the improvements in life expectancy and quality of life that have been observed in recent decades. Moreover, pharmaceutical innovation can reduce overall direct healthcare costs. The direct cost of an illness includes the purchase cost of medicines, but also costs such as hospitalization, outpatient follow-up, and home care.
Our goal as innovative pharma companies is to provide medicines to help people around the world live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. And our research promises to make an even bigger difference in the years to come. We are eager to work with stakeholders throughout the healthcare system to help ensure broader access to medicines. Our view is that all stakeholders involved in healthcare should strive for collaboration in research and education and all the way to patient access. Little can be done in isolation. The future of health will be defined by companies, academic institutions and governments who work together to leverage their strengths, thinking beyond current challenges and exploring new ways to innovate.
You are now Managing Director of Janssen Greece. Tell us about the company and how it is represented here in Greece.
At the heart of it, we are innovative, meaning we focus on transformative outcomes. We are collaborative, meaning we believe in connecting our expertise with others. And we are caring. We put people first. We do all of this in the spirit of improving the health of everyone in the world.
Our roots as a one of the pharmaceutical companies of Johnson & Johnson define the rich heritage that continues to guide our work. In fact, our Credo, a guiding set of principles written by Robert Wood Johnson back in 1943, has only changed slightly since its inception. Our Credo guides us in everything we do. It outlines our responsibilities, starting with people—doctors, nurses, patients and their families—and our responsibility to serve them to the very best of our abilities. It highlights our responsibility to our employees and the importance of fair working conditions and compensation. Importantly, the Credo addresses our responsibility to the communities in which we live and work, recognizing the opportunity to make those communities better. And of course, we must consider our responsibility to our shareholders.
Janssen opened its first office in Greece back in 1973 and has been actively contributing to the local economy and society for more than 45 years. It is a member of the Johnson & Johnson family, the world's largest and most broadly-based healthcare company. In Greece, Johnson & Johnson has 500 employees working in three different sectors: Consumer, Medical Devices, and Pharmaceuticals, while also operating a manufacturing site that produces consumer products that are exported to 33 countries. Janssen also has production and packaging activities in Greece through third parties, with approximately 60% of the output distributed in Greece.
We hold a strong market position in five important therapeutic areas, having a broad portfolio of medications across a wide spectrum of diseases, working to bring therapeutic solutions to patients and cost effective solutions to the healthcare system. At the same time, our portfolio is being enriched with new exciting acquisitions such as Actelion, which will further reinforce our companies' leading position in the market. Although pricing, reimbursement and evaluation of innovation are becoming more complicated, we will continue to focus on the benefits that our portfolio has to offer, trusting that access will be given to Greek patients of the Greek population in need of treatment.
What about the Greek pharma industry? What are the key issues and challenges that the healthcare system faces currently?
Greece's healthcare industry has evolved rapidly during the last decade. Almost all multinational companies have a long and strong presence in Greece and changes in recent years can optimistically be perceived as opportunities for growth and investment. Greek pharmaceutical companies are best in class, manufacturing a wide variety of medicines. On the other hand, Greece's high level of medical services combined with its hospitality industry present a vast area of opportunities for wellness and health tourism.
With respect to challenges, we recognize that unobstructed access to healthcare products and services for all citizens is key. We acknowledge the affordability issues faced by healthcare systems and the pressure from rising healthcare demand. But when such concerns about the affordability of innovative medicines are expressed, it is imperative to realize that innovation only matters when access is available and that only optimized allocation of resources can ensure optimal patient-centric outcomes.
Despite rising healthcare budgets, increasingly less is spent on medicines. Pharmaceuticals are often inaccurately presumed to be the cause of rising healthcare budgets when in fact the proportion of healthcare budgets spent on medicines is decreasing. The pharmaceutical industry wants to be part of the solution in making healthcare more sustainable. Thus, communication among stakeholders is vital to ensure positions are part of the public dialogue.
We are eager to work with local healthcare stakeholders to find solutions to make medicines accessible and contribute to economic development and increased employment while securing future medical innovation and a stronger healthcare sector overall.
What do you think is the most important need for the Greek healthcare system?
What the Greek healthcare system needs is a strategy that balances cost management with healthcare quality. It is more imperative than ever that we can work together in that direction, because there is no company or health system that can solve the challenge of healthcare alone.
Greece should ensure that a modern, sustainable and dependable healthcare system is in place and serves all stakeholders: citizens, healthcare professionals, healthcare providers, and the healthcare industry. This could be achieved by hosting clinical studies, increasing pharmaceutical manufacturing, and engaging in world-class research and development. In addition to these, all stakeholders should develop and implement a healthcare strategy that is long-term, benefits Greek citizens, and is a key component to sustainable economic growth.
As leader of AmCham's Pharmaceutical Committee, what are your aspirations?
The mission of AmCham's Pharmaceutical Committee is to build bridges of cooperation and common understanding among all stakeholders, as well as to create beneficial synergies for the benefit of the patient. We look at improvements in the healthcare landscape taking into account the impact of our medicines on economic factors such as total cost of care, disability, and productivity and considering the long-term benefits to society. Moreover, we at Janssen have a motto: Don't think about the product, think about the patient. And the way we are approaching innovation goes beyond products and services. We always have been and will continue to be resilient and innovative in our approach and actions. Maintaining this focus, we ensure that our work continues to make a difference in people's lives.

Pomona police crack down on illegal fireworks
POMONA, Calif. (FOX 11) - The sound of fireworks reverberated throughout the city as soon as the sun went down in Pomona.
Rounds and rounds of fireworks blasted off and while it looks like a good show, it's not legal.
"We don't want the fireworks to burn anything down or catch anything on fire," Sgt. Alyssa Bostrom, Pomona Police Department, said. "The other concern is we don't want the kids to get hurt with them."
Bostrom is working with a select group of officers assigned specially for firework enforcement. FOX 11 rode with her while she ticketed people for lightening off fireworks.
"I'd say between 10 p.m. and 2 o'clock in the morning all we do is chase the firework calls," she said.
Almost every corner we turned, we rolled up on someone setting off fireworks -- from sparklers on the ground to something much bigger.
"These are the ones that go up in the trees and catch on fire so these are the ones that we are really looking for," one detective said.
All fireworks are illegal in the city of Pomona, including the safe and sane kind.
Police started their special enforcement on Friday, when the long holiday weekend began and when it's over they expect to respond to roughly 500 calls for illegal fireworks.
This year the police department made a big push to remind residents of the dangers of fireworks. Signage throughout the city read in both English and Spanish that fireworks were illegal.
"Some of our neighboring cities they all sell them so people buy them come over to their houses and light them up not knowing what the risk is," a detective said.
The risk could be a fine up to $1,000 if you're caught and convicted.

I earned a bachelors degree and a Ph.D. in chemical engineering. Recently I tutored a college chemistry student for a full year in organic chemistry. My knowledge in this subject is strong and current. I discovered while tutoring this student that I understand organic chemistry much better today than I did as an undergraduate, and I understood it well then. Specific topics I can help a student better understand include: nomenclature, mechanisms, geometric and optical isomerism, functional groups, synthesis, spectroscopic methods, and much more. [more]

I have been tutoring organic chemistry for a little over two years. I tutor this subject at both Broward College and Florida Atlantic University. While it is one of my favorite subject to cover, I tend to favor Orgo 1 over Orgo 2. I enjoy tutoring this subject so much that I have several Organic Chemistry books, in addition to my own Darling Model set. As someone who went to college later in life, I have some understanding of the struggles of both traditional and nontraditional students.

Over the last 3 years, I have trained many of my fellow students and lab assistants in Organic Chemistry I and II as well as Organic Chemistry lab techniques. I have been successful in helping students with this complex subject because I believe that the best way to learn organic chemistry is through understanding, application, and integration rather than relying on memorization. If done right, you can apply even your most basic organic chemistry knowledge to the most advanced predictions. I can show you how to master this subject, and maybe even start to like it along the way! I have ea [more]

I have been a licensed, active Registered Pharmacist for 30+ years. I tutored fellow students in organic chemistry to help pay my way through pharmacy school. My highest level of academic achievement is my Doctor of Ministry Degree, which I earned in 2015. It is equivalent to a Ph.D. in academic practice. But because Doctors of Philosophy do not acknowledge God (and more than half the world believes in God) a Doctor of Ministry Degree is considered to be better. Before my Doctorate I earned a Master of Arts Degree in 2013. For this Degree I completed studies in the classical works of Ar [more]

TORONTO — The way he's hitting right now, there's no pitch that won't tempt Edwin Encarnacion to swing.
Encarnacion hit two more homers and drove in five runs as the Blue Jays beat Baltimore 11-6 Saturday, the Orioles' second straight loss after a five-game winning streak.
Encarnacion snapped an 0-for-19 slump by ending Friday's game with a leadoff homer in the 10th. On Saturday, he walked in the first, hit an RBI double in the third, walked in the fifth, hit a three-run blast in Toronto's five-run sixth, then went back-to-back with Michael Saunders in the eighth.
"When you feel good, they can throw the ball on the ground and you can still hit it," Encarnacion said through a translator.
Encarnacion has five homers and 13 RBIs in his past 10 games. Of his past 34 hits, 21 have gone for extra bases.
"When he's patient and waits for a pitch he can hit, he's very dangerous," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.
It was the 23rd multihomer game of Encarnacion's career. Toronto hit consecutive homers for the third time this season.

Free Helmets for a Promise
Promise to wear a helmet, and get one for free. The Ian Tilmann Foundation's "Helmet for a Promise" program will provide free custom ordered helmets to skateboarders who promise to wear them at BREC's Perkins Road Community Park Grand Re-opening on Oct. 16 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Ian Tilmann Foundation, Inc. began "Helmet for a Promise" to encourage skateboarders to wear helmets and, to date, the non-profit has donated over 3,000 helmets to skateboarders. The foundation supports skating events and will host a tent at BREC's Perkins Road Community Park Grand Re-opening featuring pro skater Lester Kasai and Monster Energy.
Kasai is scheduled to perform demos and sign autographs. The famous California skater invented the "Beni Hana" trick and won 1st place in the 2009 Masters World Bowl Rankings. Another supporter, Monster Energy, will hand out drinks and swag for all those who attend the park re-opening.

I love Forest Fire! They are one of my favourite bands I saw this year and I absolutely adore their record- Survival. I want so much to see them play again.
I love all the songs on the album, but right now I'm especially feeling the love for Sunshine City. You can hear it on their Myspace. It's such a beautiful song, it's completely wonderful. I love it. Love love love Forest Fire.
I sometimes wonder what the people in the room next to me must think; I listen to music all the time, and then when I feel like it I will quite happily listen to a song like Sunshine City on repeat for quite a long time. I hope they have sunshine in their lives.

Bath & Body Works in Pink chiffon review
I was quite happy to receive a Bath and Body Works body lotion in my September Glossybox cause I'd heard a lot about the brand but hadn't been able to try it out due to low availabitily in Poland.
The bottle I received is a very convenient travel-size product (88ml), the amount which will last at least 2 weeks of regular application. I loved the consistency of the product, it was just right, neither too runny or too thick to get it out of the bottle and apply. I also liked the smoothing and moisturising effect it had on my skin. This would be a perfect product, a worthy replacement for my everlasting favourites from The Body Shop if it wasn't for a tiny little hiccup: the smell. I don't mind it being very strongly perfumed, this could actually be an asset, but it's the type of smell I hate. This is the smell which brings to my mind the worst connotations of the colour pink. Barbie eau de toilette for girls, candy floss, lollipops, YSL Baby Doll perfume, all mixed together with some sickeningly sweet flower blossoms. The smell is so strong that when I apply it after my evening bath, I wake up perfumed in the morning!
Perhaps there are other kinds of this lotion which have a more attractive smell but this one has discouraged me successfully. whenever i feel like having some more luxurious body treatment I'll definitely reach for somethinf from The Body shop.

Qompendium: Jason, how is it, working from Hawaii as a Media Strategist. Do you surf all day?
Jason McVearry: I worked from Hawaii for a year, and still go back about once every 5-6 weeks. My job virtually allows me to work remotely, which as you can imagine, is very nice. The job of a Media Strategist is to manage the brand in a promotional capacity and to advise the CEO, Demian Sellfors, on marketing and PR initiatives including event sponsorship and planning, and also in web-site partnerships. I also deliver assets to partners, write some copy for promotions and work individually with business partners to develop specific promotional opportunities. Demian has his very hands on the method with (mt) Media Temple marketing, so I work with him very closely on several projects.
(mt) Media Temple started in 1998 and today it is well-known by the opinion leaders of the online creative scene. What paved the way?
In the beginning (mt) Media Temple was doing in-house hosting and design, capitalizing on both revenue streams. Eventually as the business climate shifted online, the hosting portion of the business proved to be a more consistent, viable income source. Demian Sellfors really capitalized early-on by realizing that often, a creative team was involved in the hosting decision. This paved the way for (mt) Media Temple's aesthetic prominence and reputation as a creative leader in the hosting industry. (mt) Media Temple has since focused on building an extremely strong network and server infrastructure and has recently reached a benchmark in product offering by significantly upgrading plans and keeping the price point very competitive.
You are supporting numerous online projects, online magazines, designers and artists around the globe, and also curating exquisite artwork on your website. Lately Media Temple was also actively taking part in design conferences like Tocame, OFFF and at CMYK. Why?
Good observation indeed. This type of marketing and targeted participation is a natural development that comes from the design and community roots of CEO, Demian Sellfors. Demian had both a personal interest in design and the understanding to put together the connection between hosting decision and designer/art director. The obvious perk of this marketing is the ability to gain exposure through high profile fantastic artists. Perks that people may overlook are the invaluable opportunity to work with talented clients daily and infuse their needs and input into our operations. The main reason our services are user friendly and more intuitive than the average hosting provider, is our client base. The conferences naturally add the element of personal client contact, which is absolutely essential. It's always a unique celebration when you get together with some of the most talented designers and visual artists of the day, and if our logo is involved, it's even better.
A surge in online magazines can be observed momentarily. What will the evolution be like? Will there be a mass market or rather survival of the fittest?
I definitely think online magazines are here to stay. The survivors will have the most user friendly, unique interfaces and the most compelling content. I think the mix of a public board, moderated news board, interviews and interactivity is a winning combo for the news board of the future. Oh, and all the content must be customizable and brilliantly formatted and you need to be able to beam it to portable cyborg content junkies on the subways of various metropolises.
How do you see the future of Internet and online entertainment in times of broadband connections, Macromedia Flash, dynamic websites and cross-platform promotion?
Broadband entertainment and cross platform content delivery is going to be more ingrained in our lives. Online content is going to get more and more portable and customizable. We're going to see a complete merge of broadcast, streaming and portable technology. The upside is we will be able to bring bits of our favourite shows, music programs and mp3s with us wherever we go. We will also be able to modify our own online content on the run. The downside is we'll be walking advertising targets. Anybody interested in avoiding this cyborg nation will have to focus on moving to non-developed countries with good surf and fresh fish for a place of residence.

Why not order coffee on the plane and 7 more unexpected air flights
There are things that are strictly not recommended during the flight. They will never be told about them officially by airline employees, because it's their earnings, but anonymously ... Already the ears are on end!
Glory to the Internet - today you can get information about everything that interests you. It is enough to apply directly to professionals in some anonymous social network. So the Reddit users acted, having challenged the employees of the airlines! We have selected the most unexpected air secrets for you.
Do not use official headphones
Sealed in a bag - does not mean disposable. After the flight, the used headphones are cleaned and re-packaged for the next batch of passengers. In general, know that some people have already used headphones before you, and if you are "clean", then better take your headset.
Give up coffee from the trolley
Real connoisseurs will not drink it because of the disgusting taste, and it is less legible to know that the coffee containers on the airlines are not particularly washed and cleaned - at best, only rinsed. Firstly, employees are paid too little - there is no point in trying, and, secondly, they do not even have any special accessories for cleaning the packaging.
The toilet door, locked from the inside, can be easily opened from the outside
Do not believe the movies where the stewardesses desperately knock on the locked booth and, it happens, even break the door. In fact, there is a secret mechanism on the outside that opens the latch, and it is directly under a narrow placard with the inscription "Lavatory". It happens that between it and the window "free / busy" is torn off the lining - a sign that the door has already been unlocked in this way.
"Lifting" armrests can be raised with a secret button
A pleasant surprise for everyone who wants more convenience in the economy class: it turns out, "tightly" fixed handles of the chairs near the windows and the passage can be raised, like everyone else! To do this, you need to grope from the underside of the armrest closer to its base a small button, hidden in the recess. However, be prepared for the fact that flight attendants will demand to return the raised handle to the place.
Oxygen in masks lasts only 12 minutes
Everyone knows that the masks are prepared in case of depressurization of the cabin, but very few people know about the oxygen consumption. However, what on earth sounds frightening - "only 12 minutes", in the air has a very different value - "as long as 12 minutes". This time is more than enough for the crew to reduce the aircraft to a safe height of 10,000 feet (3,000 meters).
Locks on suitcases are completely useless
According to the security officer, the lightning can easily be opened with a conventional pen, and then again fastened, moving both fastened fasteners around the perimeter of the suitcase. So usually they arrive at airports, when it is necessary to identify baggage without a tag. By the way, Reddit also named the most frequent reasons for the "loss" of baggage: it is sent for additional X-raying and does not have time to deliver on board. When it is sorted, it is mistakenly sent to the wrong aircraft. The bag hooks on something with a strap. Luggage fall from the cart on the way to the plane .
What happens to animals when you put them in your luggage?
According to the experience of the employees of American airlines, in 30% of cases dogs fall into anxiety and panic still on the ground, almost immediately after separation from the owners. "Who knows in what horror they are during the flight!" But the owners of cats can be calm: "I have never seen a frightened cat in the cargo room - these animals absolutely do not care". At the same time, if in America and Europe, employees are caring for animal travelers, try to calm them down and even ask owners to write pet names for them, then in Russia it is not necessary to count on it. So think carefully before you bring pets with you - maybe it's better not to stress them? And one more important point ...
Alarmists in an airplane are more dangerous than any thunderstorm and turbulence
Our earthly anxiety during the "helpless" stay in the air is easy to understand, especially when the plane suddenly starts shaking with such force, as if about to fall apart. Do you want to stop being afraid? Look at the flight attendants: for any turbulence they remain completely unperturbed - it means everything is in order!
The story of one of the passengers: "Once I flew from Japan, and over the ocean was a nightmarish turbulence, even flight attendants fastened in armchairs. One of them was sitting right in front of me - he said that even when everyone literally throws up to the ceiling, nothing terrible will happen to the plane. But sometimes you have to make an emergency landing just to calm the too cowardly passengers. "
Successful flight! Via http://www.anews.com/us/post/38271493

"A meeting moves at the speed of the slowest mind in the room. In other words, all but one participant will be bored, all but one mind underused."
– Dale Dauten
As common as meetings are in business, they tend to accomplish very little. The reason is as Dauten stated.
The tone of meetings tends to be pitched at the lowest common denominator, the one or ones who will understand everything that is happening at the slowest rate. The others usually become distracted.
I doubt that all minds but one are underused. Wandering minds tend to focus on other matters than those that are the focus of the meeting. Or they rest, which is beneficial over the long term because they are ready to do more work once the regular schedule begins again.
Tangents and distractions in meetings can be useful as well. They give people time to think about matters they would not have enough time to consider carefully during their regular work hours. A mind that is underused on the main topic of the meeting may not necessarily be wasting time.
The question that many meeting leaders have is whether ot move forward faster, thus leaving the slower thinkers behind. As with grade school classes that tend to wait for the slowest student, thus leaving the faster thinkers to become distracted and create discipline problems, most meetings move along at a pace that the slowest people can stay up with.
The solution would be to move the meeting faster, then have review meetings with the people who might have missed some of the goings on because they got lost. That kind of personal attention can itself be beneficial to an employee who has trouble keeping up with the faster thinkers but is otherwise a good worker. It boosts self esteem that the leader takes time to give personal attention. Classrooms work well that way too.
What is important is whether the objective(s) of the meeting is accomplished once everyone has had an opportunity to go over the material presented, either in the meeting or privately afterward. The goal is more important than the route each person gets there.
People who think quickly can become mentally tired faster than others. Thus they need a mental rest more often. Mettings can provide that rest because they don't have to maintain a frantic pace they may set for themselves during their regular work hours.

Walker Wall Painting Kicks Off Gaypril
Donnie TC Denome | April 7, 2017, 1:55 a.m.
Despite the hot afternoon sun, students and staff gathered at Pomona College's Walker Wall on Saturday, April 1. Their aim: to paint most of the wall in rainbow stripes to kick off Gaypril, a "month of LGBTQQIAA Pride," according to the website of the Queer Resource Center.
Buckets of paint were poured into three bowls per color: one for a light shade, one for a medium shade, and one for a dark shade. The participants, armed with rollers and trays of paint, descended upon the sections of the wall marked for their color and began to turn the whitewashed sections into a long strand of repeating rainbows.
By the end of the painting session, the wall was covered in a spectrum of diagonal stripes, the grass was littered with paintbrushes and painter's tape, and the participants were spattered with dried paint.
"For me, it's just fun to paint things and also I think it's just a really cool thing where the [Queer Resource Center] gets to take over the whole wall for an entire month," said Cal McMillan PO '17, who works at the QRC. "I think it's just like really in your face, like 'we're here, we're queer.'"
In past years -- according to Al Forbes, interim director of the QRC -- the wall was painted in solid stripes of only six colors. Starting last Gaypril, however, the QRC decided to go with a larger spectrum of colors on the wall.
"There are so many different communities and identities and experiences within the LGBTQIA quote-unquote community," Forbes said. "We've been able to create a spectrum to show ... there are multiple communities within that larger umbrella and all experiences and identities are valid and celebrated."
While most of the wall was painted white before the actual painting event, some sections were left untouched. In particular, the mural reading "UNDOCUMENTED/UNAFRAID/UNAPOLOGETIC" in support of undocumented and DACAmented students was covered in pieces of tape, showing where the rainbow stripes would go, but the words still remained.
Once the painting was complete, the words clearly remained on the wall, surrounded by a slowly cascading rainbow of colors.
The inescapable rainbow now covering Walker Wall perhaps stands as a symbol for Gaypril. Gaypril, according to Forbes, "brings visibility to issues that queer and trans people are experiencing."
For the entirety of April, the QRC has planned out talks, social events, and performances, as well as more traditional college events such as the Lavender Graduation on April 27.
"I'm running the last Gaymer Night, which is cool," McMillan said. "The Queer Faculty Symposium is back … and Sandra Kim is going to be speaking at Lav Grad and she's doing another event, where she's speaking to the public."
For Claire Eldredge-Burns PO '17, who showed up later in the day to help, the simple act of helping paint was a memory in itself.
"It was incredibly satisfying," she said. "It was great to be working, to be working alongside people. … [The] colors … and the design is gorgeous. I like the way that it is integrated with the aspects of the wall that are already existing and the art and work that people have put into this wall, especially recently."

Video: Acupressure for my Stomach Ache
Years ago, I went to a chiropractor who taught me various points on the hands and feet that can be massaged to relieve nausea, headaches, and other symptoms. I have massaged one in particular quite often, right in the web of the right thumb close to the joint. It helps my nausea. Here is an interesting video that showed where acupressure points are for nausea. I hope it is helpful to you.
