Series 24 - General Securities Principal Exam (GP)
The Series 24 exam—the General Securities Principal Qualification Examination (GP)—assesses the competency of an entry-level general securities principal candidate to perform his or her job as a general securities principal.
The exam measures the degree to which each candidate possesses the knowledge needed to perform the critical functions of a general securities principal, including the rules and statutory provisions applicable to the supervisory management of a general securities broker-dealer.
The Series 24 consists of 150 scored questions and an additional 10 unscored pretest questions. Candidates are given three hours and 45 minutes to complete the exam. The passing score is 70 percent.
Please see NASD Rule 1022(a) General Securities Principal for more information.
Content Outline
The Series 24 - Content Outline provides a comprehensive guide to the range of topics covered on the exam, as well as the depth of knowledge required. It includes sample questions to acquaint candidates with the types of multiple-choice questions on the exam.

|Number of Questions
|Section 1 – Supervision of Registration of Broker-Dealer and Personnel Management Activities
|Section 2 – Supervision of General Broker-Dealer Activities

|Section 5 – Supervision of Investment Banking and Research
See On the Day of Your Exam for more information.
Key Questions
1. What is the difference between the General Securities Sales Supervisor Exam (Series 9/10) and the General Securities Principal Exam (Series 24)?
The General Securities Sales Supervisor Examination (Series 9/10) is a limited principal examination. It qualifies an individual to supervise sales activities of a broker/dealer. It satisfies the testing requirements of the American Stock Exchange LLC, the Chicago Board Options Exchange Inc., the Chicago Stock Exchange, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, FINRA, the Pacific Exchange, Inc., and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange. The Series 9/10 qualifies the branch manager to supervise sales activities in corporate securities (equity and debt), investment company products and variable contracts, municipal securities, options, government securities and direct participation programs The General Securities Sales Supervisor Exam does not allow the sales supervisor/branch manager to supervise other areas of a member's securities business, such as underwriting, trading, advertising, or overall firm compliance with financial responsibilities.
The Series 24, on the other hand, qualifies a candidate as a general securities principal for FINRA only. By passing the Series 24, the candidate can supervise all areas of the member's investment banking and securities business, such as underwriting, trading and market making, advertising, or overall compliance with financial responsibilities. While the scope of the general securities principal's supervisory authority is broader than the Series 9/10, the Series 24 is limited in the products that it covers. The general securities principal qualification does not cover municipal securities or options.
[NASD Membership and Registration Rules 1022(g) and 1022(a)-Limited Principal General Securities Sales Supervisor and General Securities Principal]
Using Reference Materials
The test administrator will provide whiteboard/dry erase marker and basic electronic calculators to the candidates, which must be returned to the test center administrator at the end of the testing session. Some test questions involve calculations. Only the provided calculators may be used during the examination.
The examination may contain questions that require the use of exhibits (e.g., charts, graphs, tables). If so, the questions will indicate when to refer to an exhibit.
Candidates are not permitted to bring any reference materials to testing sessions. Severe penalties are imposed on candidates who cheat or attempt to cheat on FINRA administered examinations.

Activists: Please Reconsider Calling the Violent "Mentally Ill"
Another Facebook post that engaged many people
To activists talking about how the Brooklyn cop killer and the anti-police YouTuber in Pennsylvania are "seriously mentally ill" and "disturbed" and therefore do not reflect our protest movement:
I wish we could refrain from all-consuming and derogatory categories like "mentally ill" in our discussions of power and privilege. The things people do have meaning to them. Let's call this what it is: One human being with strong feelings about the police whose actions do not reflect the analysis or beliefs of activists and protesters.
When we say "Oh he was mentally ill," we diminish his very real pain and experience in an effort to control the narrative in our favor.
I do not agree with the alleged actions of the man who tried to run over police with his car, or the murder of officers in Brooklyn, but I don't want to throw all "seriously mentally ill" people under the bus either, by turning "them" into "the other", since people with that label are themselves heavily discriminated against and ten times more likely to be the victims of police and other violence.
"Mental illness" is a vague and inequitably applied social construct assigned by coercive state-sponsored institutions akin to "criminal" and "convict" that does not serve long-term social well-being or, in many cases, individual healing.
So, if we want to talk about someone's specific trauma history, emotional struggles, drug use, and interpersonal strategies, then I will personally choose to talk about them in human language and not apply a clinical facade that is often used to dehumanize, segregate, marginalized, manipulate, and justify violence against the person being labelled.

In Kolkata, many places have reinvented themselves in different styles just to mollify the customers' changing tastes and to catch up with the trend. This time I chose to visit a new joint that has almost reinvented itself and also its passion for food. Earlier known as the AHD in Sector V, Salt Lake, is now renamed Rang De Basanti Dhaba (RDBD), after its very successful original version at neo-Punjabi land Gurgaon.
The joint is almost a replica of the one that is located in Gurgaon. At the entrance, the real Punjabi emblem—a life size tractor—creates an impression, replicating itself on everything from the logo to the menu. The interiors have been decorated with utmost perfection and the seats offered are equally great. The disposition of the contemporary dhaba is built in with the ease of using milk cans and oil holders as lamp shades, framed kitsch art advertising and hardwood furniture with phulkari cushions on the benches. The buzz actually is created by the mix of the family, young IT and college crowd who troop in to taste the difference. While the chairs I believe could have been a little more comfortable, the menu makes up completely for the loss.
The items that you can choose from include right from beverages to desserts. Start with the rang de cola and then go on to enjoy other delicacies such as Fish Amritsari (230), Tandoori Ishtyle Chicken Momos (95), Mirchi Malai Seekh (140), Mutton Boti Din Raat (210), Mutton Chaampen aur Burrah (220), Tawa Keema Kaleji (225), Tawa Bheja Masala (220), Egg Bhurji (75), Punjabi Rajma Curry and Chawal (140) and Punjab Di Daal Makhni (130).
The house special batter fried Amritsari fish came with the right mix of ajwain. The tandoor baked chicken momos have a smoky outside and the soft cushiony Chinese chicken mince inside, giving a twist to the Punjabi tale. The Tawa Keema Kaleji (225), Tawa Bheja Masala (220), Egg Bhurji (75) are simply awesome while the mutton chaanp and mutton burrah are also worth mentioning. The sweet ending with the Gulkand ice cream (75) is excellent.

Welcome To The International Preschools
There are so many wonderful things for you to learn about IPS. Our web site is full of information and photographs. Here are three things that I would like you to know about our school:
We are a neighborhood school in three different neighborhoods. Just think, if you live on the Eastside and your best friend lives on the Westside your children can attend the same preschool. Sure, they will be at different locations, but you will be part of the same vibrant adult community.
Community is exactly what IPS is about. When I think of IPS, I think about children, teachers, curriculum, safety, diversity; these thoughts are constantly swimming through my brain, but my favorite thought is the caring community we are and how proud I feel to be a part of it.
Our school is unique in the way we celebrate diversity. We are a school that welcomes international families that goes far beyond being a global community. It means that there are many layers of respect and caring for differences of all kinds. We have a deeper understanding of what diversity means because we live it every day. IPS started as a school that welcomed international families, as well as families from here in NYC and has grown into a school community that welcomes all families; economically diverse, single parent, same sex families. We celebrate our differences by recognizing that our differences are what make us all the same.
This simple but profound lesson can be the key to a world of peace. If our students become world leaders what a wonderful foundation they will start with. They will bring forth their natural ability to open their hearts to all people.
Lastly, I want to talk about is our longstanding commitment to Play Based Learning. This approach uses hands on and experiential learning to skill building in all areas of development: cognitive, creative and social emotional learning. Educational trends come and go, but IPS for over 50 years has believed in this philosophical approach to teaching young children. We all do better when we are relaxed and having fun. With this in mind our teachers do an excellent job teaching our students all they need to be prepared for their next school experience. Our teachers are the heart and soul of our school. Our classrooms are filled with happy children learning and playing as their teachers guide them through their daily activities.
I welcome you to browse our web site and learn more about our school. You can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to keep connected!
Best wishes,
Donna Cohen

Devil's Food
Survey shows, whatever it is, if it's rich and seemingly "sinful" we want more. Thus, "More chocolate, please!", "Devil's Food Cake" was born. "Devil's Food", you know, that deep, dark, chocolate cake, traditionally made with cocoa, a little extra baking powder and finished off with hot water or coffee? It's been a favorite of mine since I was seven. In not so high falutin' high school I used to eat Hostess "Suzy Qs" for lunch. Anyone remember those, deep oily-brown, cellophane wrapped, hefty double rectangles of chocolate cake filled with super sweet, white, fluffy "cream"? I ate them with a plastic fork.
Sure, 35 years later, living South of the border, I could go to any tienda, "corner store", and pick up a package of "Bimbo", Mexican equivalents, but I gave up polysorbate 80 after the 80's. These less sweltering days, I just whip up a cake.
Today I had some some leftover spiced pears and wanted to bake them into a chocolate cake. (Good idea.) I winged the cake, using coconut oil as my fat, and milk as my liquid, along with some spiced pear syrup I made from the poaching liquid: red wine, water, cinnamon sticks, several fat slices of ginger, black peppercorn, brown sugar and an orange cut in four.
In our house we like our cake not so sweet. I often half the amount of sugar called for in classic cake recipes. Or, I add espresso.
In a pinch for a school bake sale? Add espresso to boxed brownies to take down the sweet, a bit of cayenne, cinnamon. Superb ease.
Ahh, red wine spiced pears in deep, dark chocolate cake, "Frenchy" loved it! We all did. Especially after our "Conquistador" shrimp and smoked marlin tacos at Baja Taqueria. I told one brother owner we had dessert at home, "una pastel de chocolate con perra". He laughed beautifully. Perra means dog. I over rolled the r in pera, to a dog filled chocolate cake! Now, that's Devil's Food.
Photo from juliasalbum.com. Ours, below, was similar, but less styled.
Love Cast Iron!
"Frenchy" is the one who got me thinking about the name "Devil's Food Cake". Looking around the web I found this fabulous cake reference page. And this interesting bit on cake, chocolate, cookies and the Marquis de Sade.
"The oldest print reference we find for baked goods with chocolate ingredient is 1779. In this letter sent from prison, the notorious Alfonse Francois, Marquis De Sade complains bitterly to his wife about the "care" package she sent him. 'This sponge cake is not at all what I asked for: 1) I wanted it iced everywhere, both on top and underneath, with the same icing used on the little cookies; 2) I wanted it to be chocolate inside, of which it contains not the slightest hint; they have colored it with some sort of dark herb, but there is not what one could call the slightest suspicion of chocolate. The next time you send me a package, please have it made for me, and try to have some trustworthy person there to see for themselves that some chocolate is put inside. The cookies must smell of chocolate, as if one were biting into a chocolate bar.'
This guy may have enjoyed an exotic Pastel de Chocolate con Perra. Or perhaps enjoyed witnessing some one else eating it. Quien sabe?
Give the Joy of Cooking's Devil's Food Cake Cockaigne a try. "Cockaigne" is the term used by Marion Becker to denote a recipe she loved. Cockaigne is a mythical land of plenty. Though might I suggest cutting this classic recipe to 1/2 c. white, 1/2 c brown, then add ripe, cooked or stewed apples, plums, apricots or pears to the batter, after it has been poured into the prepared pan. Bake. Cool. Dust with confectioner's sugar. Whole upright, nested half fruits and fans of slices offer simple spectacle. Gorgioso. Divine. Options. Endless.
Photo & Styling Katie Quinn Davies
Rich and seemingly sinful? Yes, please.
Though remember, every where, every way, every day, keep it
Slow and holy…slowly whole.
Buen Provecho!

This year marked my 7th year attending the National March for Life in Washington D.C. Over the past seven years, I've had the opportunity to lead the entire national March, be in charge of organizing trips for my high school and coordinate efforts on behalf of Notre Dame Right to Life. I've attended the youth rally at the Verizon Center, gone to the Students for Life of America conference, the Rose Dinner, and the National Review conference, met various senators and congressmen and done everything in between.
My first March for Life, I was a naïve high school freshman looking for an adventure and a chance to miss school to hang out with my older sister and friends. Little did I know that this trip to D.C. was going to become a yearly pilgrimage and end up altering my perspective on life so dramatically. Attending the March all through high school, I vividly remember watching Sister Mary, our high school chaperone, marching us girls through hundreds of thousands of people while holding a tiny stick with two pieces of ribbon. We were told that if we lost sight of that ribbon, we were responsible for finding our own way back to NJ. All of us held tightly to each other, scared of being the one left behind. Looking back, I'm not sure how we all made it safely home, but thank God we did!
In college, attending the March for Life became a larger time commitment, missing classes and opportunities to hang out with friends. Eventually, I had to question why it was so important for me to attend this event every year, what was I getting out of it and what did I hope to achieve? At first, the answer was obvious, I was pro-life, and this was an event I was expected to attend as a pro-lifer. But that simple explanation didn't hold much weight when you considered the idea of 12 hour bus ride, nights sleeping on a concrete floor and standing outside in the freezing cold.
When I really started to question why I come, I found that attending the March for Life served two main purposes in my life. First, it allowed me an opportunity to discuss my beliefs with my friends. Often times, it's not easy discussing the question of abortion or contraceptives or even adoption, with friends. Many college age students have been affected by these issues, many have strong opinions they are not willing to stray from and get offended when they are questioned at all. More often than not, it is easy to empathize with friends when these issues come up, not wanting to hurt feelings or step on toes, however, when you attend the March for Life, it is hard to hide your beliefs. Friends question why you're going to be gone for a couple days, where you're going and why you're going and you're forced to face your fear of receiving judging looks and comments from friends or classmates. These conversations, though painful, are so important to being pro-life and showing people that there is another way to live besides what the media portrays.
The second purpose, and perhaps more central to my pro-life beliefs, is that attending the March for Life is inspiring. Being pro-life is extremely counter-cultural, and it can be exhausting, both mentally and spiritually. Throughout my four years in college, I've questioned why I'm pro-life many times but it has always come back to the fact that I cannot stand for injustice. I get so upset when I hear that abortionists are permitted to continue their practice even though they have illegally performed abortions on underage girls and not reported that they may be rape victims or that health violations are not looked into until a woman is hurt at a clinic. I do not understand how 'feminist's' who say that all they want is equality, continue to look the other way after hearing stories like the Gosnell trial. The pro-life movement has morality, economics, and philosophy on its side and yet sometimes it seems as if we are shouting to an empty room. It can be very tiring. This tiredness, and frustration, however, is washed away as you stand packed into National Mall with over 400,000 other people on your side. The pilgrimage to the March for Life every year is about more than seeking to overturn Roe v. Wade, it is about remembering that you are not alone, that there is an entire community of support, and that we can make a difference. Without this support and this yearly reminder, it is easy to be upset, to give up, and it is this reason that I have continued to come back to D.C. every year.


text: Believing Usopp's immunity to have been a fluke, Perona sent four Negative Hollows through him, but instead became depressed herself alongside her ghosts, to the shock of her zombies. [75] Soon afterward, Perona fled from Usopp while noting that she could defeat the other Straw Hats if it were not for him. After Kumashi distracted Usopp by attacking him, Perona projected her spirit from her body after hiding and tricked Usopp into believing she was flying while proclaiming that she had come up with a plan to defeat him. [76] Declaring that she had simply been caught up in the moment before, Perona attempted to cheer Usopp up once more before appearing behind him in a giant form. After dodging Usopp's Ageha Ryusei, Perona reverted to her normal size before placing her hands inside of Usopp's chest and pretending that she was going to crush his heart, only to reveal that she could not do such a thing. Usopp attacked her with Rokuren Mamushi Boshi, but Perona demonstrated her intangibility by letting the attack go through her and moving through the floor. When Usopp pointed out that she could not touch him either and demanded to know how she could attack him, Perona summoned some Mini Hollows and demonstrated their explosive power on a nearby wall before attacking Usopp with one as well. After tricking Usopp into running into a pillar, Perona covered his body with Mini Hollows and detonated all of them before gleefully watching Kumashi brutalize Usopp. However, Perona was shocked to see Usopp, who had donned his Sogeking mask, purify Kumashi with a salt ball before fleeing once more. Wounding Usopp with a barrage of Mini Hollow blasts once more, Perona decided to hand him over to Moriah, but was surprised when Usopp figured out her trick and used Atlas Suisei to expose the room containing her true body.

New updates to SCORM Engine, 2014.1
The latest release of SCORM Engine, 2014.1, includes a new modern and responsive content player, support for Tin Can Recipes, and support for Tin Can API Version 1.0.1. The latest version of SCORM Engine also provides backward compatibility for Tin Can .90 and Tin Can .95.
Let us know when you're ready to upgrade your installation of SCORM Engine. We've made it easy to extend your existing SCORM Engine installation to support basic Tin Can capabilities and can work with you to explore some more advanced applications.
What does SCORM Engine with Tin Can API let you do?
A few of the new features:
- Your very own Learning Record Store (LRS). SCORM Engine includes a locally installed, Tin Can API compliant Learning Record Store capable of receiving Tin Can statements from LMS launched courses and from learning activities that live outside of the LMS. The LRS can also send learning records to your LMS, reporting tools, and other LRSs. You can also play your SCORM content and record your SCORM data as Tin Can data.
- Built in Tin Can Recipes for Videos, Results Summary and CMI Interactions.
- Customizable, responsive modern SCORM player option.
- Traditional LMS workflow can remain the same with Tin Can courses. Import and launch Tin Can courses the same way you import and launch SCORM & AICC courses.
- Convert old & new SCORM and AICC registrations to Tin Can statements. We realize you have a massive pile of SCORM and AICC registrations residing in your LMS. You can generate Tin Can statements from SCORM and AICC registrations automatically. This will allow you to include old and new SCORM and AICC data into your future Tin Can reporting.
- Tin Can statement viewer. The statement viewer provides visibility into the stream of Tin Can statements being received by your Learning Record Store.
- Tin Can Authentication Manager. The Authentication Manager is like your security center. It gives you an interface to manage the security settings between your LRS and your Tin Can activity providers, giving them ability to securely write statements to your Learning Record Store.
- Tin Can / SCORM Parity Reports: Engine now has a new reporting feature set that provides easy access to pull data from the LRS to answer such questions as "What activities have my users been completing?", "How has Joe been performing on his activities?", "How much time has a user spent in our basic training course?"
- Statement Forwarding: You can now forward your statements, or allow your learners to forward their statements, to any other LRS.
- TinCan 1.0.1 compatibility – Note that this release of the Tin Can API (xAPI) Specification is only a patch release. In accordance with semantic versioning, which Tin Can API (xAPI) follows, there are no functional changes within this version.
- See the Engine 2014.1 documentation here for all of the features and enhancements.
Oh, and mobile/offline capabilities are also available…
Along with Tin Can 1.0.1 support, the latest version of SCORM Engine (2014.1) also has an offline/mobile API to enable you to connect your SCORM Engine to our offline/mobile SDK or Apps for iOS and Android.
There still a bit of work to do before you're ready to hit the ground for offline SCORM support, including an additional license, but the 2014.1 version of SCORM Engine is the place to start.
So again, let us know when you're ready to upgrade. We're accepting upgrades on a first come, first served basis.
You can learn a lot more about the Tin Can API at TinCanAPI.com.

Does the end justify the means? The collateral damage that these measures inflict cannot be ignored for long. Both the costa rica state and federal regime and the Reserve Bank of India(RBI) Have said that a stable rupee is in first instance on their agenda. So far in this fiscal, The house currency has lost 12 %. As often as the extent of decline, It's the apparent inability of policy to arrest the decline that is quite worrying. Upabout Friday, The rupee fell below 62 to the dollar somebody in control of. Since hub of July, The RBI has been acting tough pushing up sexual crimes and draining liquidity to check speculation on the rupee. Although backed by admin indicates, It has had limited success.

"I love the STEM Girls Books series both as a father of two girls and as an elementary science educator. They are a must-have for every elementary teacher and parent of young girls. It is almost impossible to find a book for young children that is STEM focused and features female role models. These books hit the trifecta!"
-David Ware, Elementary Science Educator and Parent
Can fields like civil engineering, computer programming, mechanical engineering, biology or aerospace engineering ever be made simple enough for a preschooler to understand? Of course they can...and that's what STEM Girls Books are all about.
It's no surprise that women are under-represented in the world of STEM. While programs and initiatives are underway to correct this, most are targeted to adolescent girls. With inspiration from accomplished women in STEM, STEM Girls Books are designed for ages 3-8, planting the seeds of possibilities long before girls are formally introduced to STEM programs.
Each picture book takes a look at a child's unique interests and talents, and takes them on a journey of possible STEM fields that need those special skills.
Young girls will also meet role models at the end of every book - real women pursuing STEM careers. These women offer additional insight into the field, words of encouragement, and affirmation that STEM fields are cool...for girls too!

The Dispatch recently reported on the Shamansky camp pulling a photo from their website of a retired General with Bob Shamansky at an event. They were old friends and he agreed to pose with Bob.
This is where it gets interesting:
Democrat Bob Shamansky?s congressional campaign recently removed a picture from its Web site after the retired brigadier general in the photograph said it caused him personal embarrassment.
James M. Abraham, of Gahanna, said the two are old acquaintances, and when he ran into him at a recent parade, he posed for a picture without hesitation.
"In the next few days I started getting calls," Abraham said.
The inquiries, he said, were from colleagues who complained about Abraham?s appearance in uniform as though in support of Shamansky.
I wonder who could possibly have hounded the general? Hmmm?
So, thinking this is ridiculous, I check to see what kind of imagery is being used by the Tiberi camp. Sure enough, uniforms:
So Bob can't pose with an old friend who is a retired general, but Pat CAN pose with a currently active Marine from Lima Company?
Hey, we better take that photo down before we look like total hypocrites! Yep, check the site. No Gunnery Seargent! I spoke with some folks at the Tiberi camp and they of course had no idea about a photo being removed. "We add and remove photos everyday". Blah, blah, blah. Sure. Big coincidence. I'm almost positive Tiberi's folks and the GOP pressured Mr. Abraham to have his photo removed because Bob has a distinguished career in the military and their boy Pat was in the OSU marching band. If the chickenhawk argument doesn't ring true, then why run from it?
Asking Bob to remove a photo of an old friend who happens to be a retired general is the chickenhawk coming home to roost. Problem is there is more evidence of Pat Tiberi granstanding for the military vote. Maybe they can now ask The Strategy Group for Media to scrub their website too:
Hypocrites. Those are the worst kind.
Pat Tiberi is an obedient follower. Bob Shamansky is a true leader. The choice really couldn't be more clear.
Shamansky! Bomaye!
Pingback: Plunderbund » Tiberi finally has The Strategy Group for Media scrub their website()
You might have asked me about this instead of submitting an unsubstantiated opinion.
The picture was used without my permission and in a political environment. If Congressman Tiberi has done the same thing, I would have taken him to task also.
It is always interesting how opinions are made public and the person or persons involved are not even asked for verification.
Brigadier General (Ret) James M. Abraham, P.E.

text: As stated in topic; how many keywords do you guys usually target per micro niche site? Just a little information here; MNS to me are 5-7 pages (including contact us / privacy). I usually have 4-5 articles on each site; each page targets a specific keyword, but except for the 'main' keyword (thats on EMD as well), most of my 'other secondary' keywords have very low search volume. For example; My main keyword "Kitchen Cabinet" has search volume of 1000 (example) - This goes on my main page and i also obtained kitchencabinet.com I then create 4 other pages; ranking other keywords like "used kitchen cabinet", "cheap kitchen cabinet" etc. These keywords may only have search volume of >300. Is this the best way to develop and make money with MNS? Or is there a better way? Thanks in advance.

Internet & Network
The best business broadband connection
Connecting to the Internet has never been easier but in business there
are certain points to consider. PC Net can provide a broadband
connection suited to the upload and download requirements of a customer,
and requirements for a range of IP addresses.
How to surf safely
Internet security involves the protection of a computer's network from intrusion by an unknown user. Basic security measures involve protection by well selected passwords, internet security hardware and software installation and setting up of rules within operating systems.
PC Net can supply and install anti virus software and implement it
in an efficient manner so that it does not slow down network activity,
yet checks for malicious software including trojans, viruses and spy
ware. A firewall increases the security – especially when a company
regularly uses remote access to work from home. PC Net has installed
Sonicwall firewalls for over 10 years. We can also advise on Internet
content filtering and assist with blocking of certain sites. (An example
of this is the blocking of social networking sites).
Cutting out Spam
Our mail filtering service (mailwash) uses Barracuda servers through
which our clients' email is passed. The Barracuda is linked to other
Barracudas all across the world – continually learning where spam is
originating and communicating that information. The Barracuda system is a
constantly learning and updating system. Customers who use it certainly
appreciate the removal of the task of deleting hundreds of unwanted
emails per day.
Maintenance Contracts
Good network design combines the elements of speed, flexibility and reliability with future growth considered.
By working closely with our clients to understand their core requirements and future strategy we will establish a brief.
This will form the basis to enable us to design and build a bespoke network that can grow in line with your business.
Joined up computer systems
PC Net Solutions can install a computer network including the very basic cabling and cabinet which holds the server and phone switches. We can also supply and install all other network components; such as switches, network cards and print servers to share printers on a network.
New offices are ready cabled for computers to be plugged in and joined to a server. Our skill lies in installing the server in a stable and secure way, connecting the PC's, and peripherals, making sure that backups run, anti virus software is up to date and any bespoke software applications do not conflict with other software being used.
It is also common for offices at different locations to be joined
by a network using safe networking technology over the Internet. This is
becoming easier now that broadband speeds are higher and service is
reliable. It is also easy to work from home or on holiday using secure
Caring for the heart of the system
A server is different from other PC's, a server is a computer which acts like a library for files, and programs, it holds the data, the backup system, it controls the IT in a business, storing and accessing information centrally and efficiently. For this reason it is often seen as the most important part of the network.
PC Net Solutions configures and monitors logging and analysis reports on servers. These include reports detailing backup success/failure, anti virus software updates, or incidences of high memory usage, or processor activity which may indicate underlying problems.
PC Net Solutions offer Server Maintenance contracts from £55 per month.
Cloud Services
Office 365 and Hosted Email
Your business may be able to operate more efficiently with Microsoft Office 365 and Hosted Email to give your employees "anywhere access" to emails and shared calendars. It's not suitable for everyone but is an option we can discuss with you.
Cloud backup
Any one who uses a computer needs to back the data up in a separate place to the computer. One option is to use the cloud to store your company data.
Cloud storage is a form of data storage which is managed, maintained and backed up remotely, this is done over the internet. PC Net Solutions can install this and ensure that it is setup correctly and securely.
Cloud Servers
In some respects Cloud servers work in the same way as physical servers. There are pros and cons to renting space away from the business premises to locate your server, or renting space on a shared Cloud server. We can discuss this with you before deciding on the option which is best for you.

INSIDER: Heat Start With Question Mark ?
The Heat was dealt a blow with the start of the season just days away. Rodney McGruder, who started 65 games for the Heat last season, has a stress fracture in his left tibia. The Vertical reported that he'll likely have surgery next month and that he'll be out 3-6 months but a Heat spokesman said until surgery is performed, they won't know the timetable for his return.
Now Spoelstra has several options at small forward. Josh Richardson, who just signed a 4 year/$42M extension, is one possibility. Justise Winslow is another who could start until McGruder heals. Another possibility is James Johnson, who parlayed a very successful one year campaign with the Heat last season, into a 4 year/$60M extension. JJ has checked his ego at the door and said repeatedly that he doesn't care if he starts or comes off the bench.
You know who also has that unselfish attitude? Free agent Kelly Olynyk, who left Boston to sign a 4 year deal with Miami. He said he's fine with either starting or being part of the 2nd unit. The reason that was even brought up is that in this preseason, Spo has experimented by starting Olynyk alongside fellow 7-footer Hassan Whiteside. The Heat's version of twin towers. Whenever Spo is asked about it, a smile comes across his face and you can tell he's imagining the possibilities this presents and the challenges it would make for opposing defenses. Olynyk is a good enough passer to create spacing and facilitate ball movement. There are a myriad of interesting story lines surrounding the Heat as the season is about to commence. But to me, this out of the box idea by Spo is as compelling as any of them.

Machesney Park Police received a shot in the arm when it comes to solving cases today. The new tool the department plans on using to catch criminals are license plate readers.
The license plate readers will help police locate persons of interest, stolen vehicles, wanted criminals, create leads, and solve cases. The license plate readers contain integrated processors that rapidly process license plate images using optical character recognition that is cross referenced to a national license plate database.
The village had license plate readers installed in two squad cars and plans to expand use of the technology in the future.

This is a rush transcript from "Special Report," September 24, 2014. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
SEN. MARK PRYOR, D-AR.: He has voted against our seniors. He has voted against our students. He has voted against our women. And he has also voted against working families all over the state of Arkansas. And at the end of the day, that's for one simple reason, so that he can give his billionaire backers enormous tax breaks.
REP. TOM COTTON, R-AR.: A vote for Mark Pryor is a vote for Barack Obama. Mark Pryor votes with Barack Obama 93 percent of the time. I don't know how many Arkansans who agree with Barack Obama 93 percent of the time.
BRET BAIER, ANCHOR: That's the Arkansas race. The two candidates there, you can take a look at the Real Clear Politics average of the latest polls, and you can see it's essentially tied in Arkansas. And there you see the Republican Tom Cotton in the RCP average. There is a new poll "USA Today" poll out that has Mark Pryor up slightly but essentially tied again. We are back with our panel. We ask the panelists to choose one of these races that intrigues them to talk about. George, we will start with you.
GEORGE WILL, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: There are Senate races and five purple states this year, Virginia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Colorado, and Iowa, and much the closest is Iowa. Braley and Ernst are the Democrat and Republican, one-tenth of one percent apart the Real Clear Politics average of polls. It shouldn't be this close really. Granted Iowa has voted Democratic in six of the last seven presidential elections, but Barack Obama's approval rating is only 38 percent in Iowa.
The Democrats have two ideas this year and they're the same two in Iowa. One is that the Republicans are waging a war on women, two, which Joanie Ernst is a five foot, two inch, 44 year old grandmother who packs a pistol, rides a Harley, and served in Iraq and Kuwait, says I'm a woman and I have been in war and this isn't war, which is a pretty good answer.
And with regard to the idea -- the other Democratic idea is the Koch brothers, the big money. Well, Tom Steyer, who opposes the Keystone pipeline, is running ads named Braley but supporting Braley by attacking Joanie Ernst, Braley who has changed his position in the last two years on the Keystone pipeline, and Steyer has run $2.6 million of negative ads against Joanie Ernst which is a lot of money in the Iowa media market.
BAIER: Speaking of Iowa, so the FOX poll is tied at 41 percent. The Rasmussen poll is tied at 42 percent. OK, Mara, your choice?
MARA LIASSON, NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO: I pick North Carolina. The Democrats have to hang on to North Carolina. If they lose Arkansas, Alaska, and Louisiana, in addition to the three open seats, they have got to hang on to North Carolina and get one other seat. The interesting thing about North Carolina, unlike these other states, it's truly purple. Barack Obama won it in 2008, narrowly lost it in 2012. And the Democrats have spent tremendous amount of time and money building an infrastructure to get out the vote there. And I think North Carolina will be a great test of the vaunted Democratic field operation to see if they can get all those newcomers to North Carolina, educated, young, upscale whites and African-Americans to the polls. The polls there are very close. I think this is a race that this year the Democrats should lose. I mean in North Carolina.
BAIER: Charles?
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: I'm choosing New Hampshire. We have Jeanne Shaheen, the incumbent, the Democrat, a popular governor, still ahead of Scott Brown, the former senator of Massachusetts. But he has gained a lot. He was way behind a few months ago. The interesting thing, and he is probably still a long shot here, but the polls, he's only two points behind. On the RCP average he's behind by about five, but on one of the late polls, two behind. He isn't only relying on the anti-Obama sentiment and on the lousy economy, but he has pioneered for Republicans attack ads on two issues. Immigration, he jumped on that, which is an issue that has flipped. It was a Democratic issue. It now works against them. And he's also begun running ads on ISIS, the war on terror, the general sense Americans have of weakness. It will be interesting to see how much that's going to help him. He has sort closed the gap, again, tough to win. He is from out of state. He isn't exactly their cup of tea, and Shaheen is inherently popular. But he may have latched on to the issues that might swing this.
BAIER: We will take this show on the road to Louisiana talking to Senator Mary Landrieu the incumbent, Bill Cassidy, the Republican, Rob Maness, another Republican in that race. Quickly, George, a few seconds here, Kansas -- the FOX polls in Kansas have Orman up on Roberts. Orman is the independent, and it looks like that could be a race that decides the whole thing.
WILL: The Democrat has dropped out. It's a two-person race and Orman is probably up by about five right now. He is 45. Pat Roberts, who has been in Washington as a staffer or something else since the 60's, is 78. And it's now probably Orman's to lose.

The Scottsboro Boys have been vindicated, but there are many more waiting in the wings – waiting for justice. It is often said that justice delayed is justice denied. Many years have passed in so many unresolved civil rights crimes and injustices. And if no one is prepared to step up and pursue these cases, we must wonder if justice will ever come.

2011 Young Artists Competition winners pose with dignitaries at the Art Gallery of Alberta. (Photo by Aminah Syed)
The ATB Financial Young Artists Competition was launched in 2011 and has been an amazing success. The competition is geared towards Grade Four students, because in Grade Four they're already learning about Alberta history. The theme of the competition is Alberta Stories. Each student who participated in the competition told an Alberta story through art. We assembled an external organizing committee, made up of ATB and Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) employees as well as a teacher that took on the task of developing and promoting the competition. The art competition was an excellent way to connect our people and our customers.
The response to the competition over the past two years has been overwhelming, as countless drawings, paintings, and collages were submitted to ATB branches across Alberta. Each branch selected their own finalists which were forwarded to one of our regional offices. Each regional office then sent their finalists to our head office, where our organizing committee and guest judges selected the final winners. The winning masterpieces were professionally framed and featured in exhibitions at the AGA, sharing the walls with some of the most famous art from around the world.
Our most recent winners can be seen on wearealberta.ca

text: Bradford came to us from a shelter in Kansas City. He developed parvo 1 day after he came to us and he developed an upper respiratory infection at the same time. The problem is that one causes fluid drainage from the nose and mouth and the other attacks the stomach lining. The drugs to control one do not work because of the other condition. Our Docs at the Pacific Animal Hospital did a great job to save him and the nebulizer was a wonderful tool to get "the stuff" out of his lungs. The nebulizer was a donation from a physician that heard that one of our babies needed one. Bradford is now gaining strength and "loves life" in his foster home in Ballwin with 3 other dogs. He says that "he ain't going back to that shelter.

Urban agriculture or urban farming refers to activities that facilitate food production, primarily for sale, in urban environments. Many for-profit urban agriculture ventures use vertical farms, hydroponics, aquaculture, greenhouses, and other efficient systems to maximize the productivity of small spaces. Urban agriculture activities frequently take place on small areas of land such as median strips, rooftops, courtyards, and balconies, and can include edible landscapes, front yard or rooftop gardens, window farming, and hanging plant gardens in home or community settings (Bellows 2004). Aquaculture and livestock ventures in US cities are growing (Golden 2013), but remain less common than in other countries (Brown 2000).
Urban agriculture is a suggested strategy to increase access to fruits and vegetables and build more sustainable, self-reliant local food systems (CDC-Urban ag, USDA-Merrigan 2011, Clark 2013, Grewal 2012, FAO-Food for cities, Bellows 2004, Golden 2013). Urban agriculture is also a suggested strategy to reduce hunger and obesity (CDC-Urban ag, USDA-Merrigan 2011, Clark 2013). Models suggest that many US cities may be able to achieve near self-reliance for fresh produce, poultry, eggs, and honey (Grewal 2012) and case studies suggest that many small scale projects in an area can increase food security overall (Clark 2013, Grewal 2012, Bellows 2004, Golden 2013). However, additional evidence is needed to confirm effects.
Urban agriculture activities may reduce fossil fuel energy used to produce, process, and transport food, and diminish urban heat island effects (CDC-Urban ag). In some cases, urban agriculture activities provide entrepreneurial opportunities, which have been associated with increased income for participants (Kaufman 2000, FAO-Food for cities), as well as greater levels of local business incubation, skills training, and job creation (Golden 2013).
Municipal zoning policies can support urban agriculture activities by designating agricultural districts or specifying certain agricultural uses that are permitted or conditionally approved (Mukherji 2010). Some urban agriculture sites may contain contaminated soil and require remediation before beginning activity (Wortman 2013). Price, location, food culture, or lack of interest may also be challenges to successful urban agriculture; mobile food carts or farm stands, marketing foods with taste tests and cooking demonstrations, and youth mentorship may help remove barriers to purchasing healthy food produced by urban agriculture (Hu 2013).
Organized urban agriculture projects are often located in low income, inner city neighborhoods (Kaufman 2000, Golden 2013), which may reduce disparities in access to healthy foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables.
Many non-profit organizations support urban agriculture efforts, for example, Cultivate Kansas City, which supports a network of farms (CKC), and Keep Growing Detroit (KGD-GID). Some urban agriculture non-profits such as Growing Power in Milwaukee (GP-WI), Greensgrow in Philadelphia (Greensgrow-Urban farm), and Growing Green Urban Farm in Buffalo (MAP-Urban ag) include compost, vermicompost, aquaponics, and livestock on their farms along with outreach efforts such as farmers markets, mobile markets, community supported agriculture and education programs.
The Detroit Black Community Food Security Network works to build self-reliance, food security and justice in Detroit's Black community through urban agriculture activities and other efforts (DBCFSN-Urban ag). In West Oakland, California, City Slickers Farms provides training, tools, soil tests, and supplies to encourage urban farming and backyard gardening (CSF-Sustainable food). Weavers Way Coop in Philadelphia, PA sells a lot of fresh produce from their own urban farms in Northwest Philadelphia (WWC-Our farms). Plant Chicago, in an old meatpacking plant (Plant Chicago), and Farmed Here, an indoor, organic, vertical farm (Farmed Here), are two examples of indoor urban farms.
State and local legislation can support urban agriculture initiatives. California enacted legislation in 2013, for example, that allows cities and counties to create incentive zones in urban areas for local food production, providing land owners a property tax break for urban agriculture or community gardening activities. Tennessee and West Virginia also enacted legislation addressing infrastructure barriers and liability concerns related to community gardens (NCSL Winterfeld-Obesity prevention 2014). Municipal policies and zoning plans in Seattle (Seattle-Urban ag), Boston (BRA-Urban ag zoning), and Somerville, MA (Somerville-MUAI); and city government agency activities in San Francisco (SF DOE-Urban ag) and Boston (Boston-Urban ag) are examples of local efforts to support these initiatives.
