It's been one crisis after the other for Uber, calling into question the future of the $69 billion startup like never before.
And now it's all coming to a head.
On Tuesday, Uber is expected to release to employees the results of an intensive months-long study into its corporate culture. The report is expected to include recommendations for how the company should address its problems.
We don't know yet exactly what will be in the report. One of the biggest questions to be answered is what will happen to CEO Travis Kalanick; he's reportedly considering a leave of absence.
Even ahead of the report's release, Uber has already made some big changes. Emil Michael, Kalanick's right-hand man and chief fundraiser, resigned Monday. And last week Uber fired more than 20 people after a separate investigation looked into 215 complaints of sexual harassment, discrimination, and other bad behavior at the company.
Uber's board has committed, unanimously, to following the recommendations of the report, whatever those turn out to be. Depending on those recommendations, the most valuable tech startup on Tuesday could have a totally new executive team or it could look like it's protecting the status quo. Either way, the company's response to the report could go a long way toward determining its future.
Here's how Uber got to this precarious point and what's at stake now:

It's always good to know quick and easy makeup tips to make things easier for us. With our busy schedule at work and keeping up with family can be tough. So, we may not have a lot of time to doll-up but don't let that stop you from looking your best. Try these 6 quick and easy makeup tips and tricks to look gorgeous without putting in a lot of work.
6 Easy Makeup Hacks
1. We cannot seem to escape dark circles that don't mean we cannot hide them. Concealer does wonders to make them disappear. Find a concealer that is a shade lighter than your skin color.
In order to completely cover up the dark circles, try the triangle motion method, in which you put dots in an inverted triangle shape under the eyes and pat them to spread and cover the dark circles.
You can either use a small flat brush or use your fingers. Personally, I find applying concealer using fingers much easier and faster.
Dark circles may be caused by stress, poor diet and lack of sleep. Plus, weather and hormonal changes may affect your skin color. Depending on the severity of these, it helps a lot to invest in 2 or 3 concealers of varying colors.
2. For a bright look you can use blush, it's quick and easy. You can go with powder, cream or gel whichever you find easiest to work with. Apply it on the apple of your cheek with upward motion. You can use a brush or sponge.
3. Eyes are the first thing anyone notices, so, it is important to define your eyes. A simple trick to pop-up your sleepy eyes are to use black mascara. This way you won't look tired even if you are.
When you are using mascara, place either a tissue or a spoon under the eyes to prevent those messy drips. When you are applying mascara start from base to the tip.
4. When you find yourself getting late for an appointment just make your eyes pop-up with gel eyeliner. But, these are the times when things don't work out in your favor like not having liquid eyeliner. Still don't be in despair, turn the situation around with kohl pencil eyeliner & a lighter.
Put the pencil eyeliner under the flame for just a second & let it cool down for 10 – 15 seconds. And voila, you have got great smudge eyeliner ready in an instant!
5. This may not be exactly a makeup tip but hey having great skin to start with goes a long way. So, before starting any makeup routine, even the simplest one, moisturize first.
If you don't have time in the morning, go about moisturizing your skin at night. Before you go to bed, use a cream or mask to moisturize your face, so you wake up with fresh looking skin in the morning.
If you got dry skin, get a moisturizing cream with oil essentials in it. This will help you hydrate the skin much better.
6. And, if you only have seconds to spare, red lipstick does wonders. So, have it in your bag and apply it on the go!
Well, at the time when you have to run out the door, hope these makeup tips & tricks help you look effortlessly beautiful!

I dont think this is true. But correct my understanding too if I am wrong. Cross-threaded might confuse someone into thinking there maybe some "apartment threading rules" to obey, there isn't. "An SSL *" can't have a method invoked on the same instance at the same time. So long as you serialize your method calls (SSL_xxxx() family) to that same instance; any thread can call that method. It is unusual to need to do so. But "SSL_CTX *" is the template context specifically designed to be shared and used across multiple-threads if needs be, providing you make correct use of the 'CRYPTO_set_locking_callback' and 'CRYPTO_set_id_callback' and friends as part of your application initialization. This allows for (amongst other things) the obviously parallel usage of SSL_new(SSL_CTX *) when creating new connections. Maybe the openssl-users list would be a better place for assistance. Darryl

It's the best way to discover where we came from, deal with where we are and debate where we might go in the future. The festival is for all ages, but the ones we are particularly doing this for are 12-14 year-olds. The aim of this event is to resuscitate that spirit of discovery and curiosity back into them by implementing a few alternative ways of learning rather than the heavy old books.

I was trying to print out an ebook today, but the book had over 30 chapters with each chapter in a separate text file named chapter##.txt.
\Book XYZ\ chapter01.txt chapter02.txt chapter03.txt ... chapter35.txt
I didn't want to print all the files separately and renumber the pages each time, so I used some stupid DOS tricks to combine them into one text file, with the beginning of each chapter clearly indicated by a blank line and its chapter number. There are a lot of full-fledged software tools that can achieve this, Python for example, but the easiest is actually DOS if you are running Windows. No special software needed, no programming skill required, just type your code at the DOS prompt and you'll get your concatenated text file in a few seconds.
Here is the step-by-step instruction with explanations:
1. Open a DOS window. ( If you are using Windows XP, go to Start menu, select Run, then type cmd )
2. Go to the directory that contains your text files using the cd command.
3. Enter the following code:
for %f in (chapter*.txt) do type "%f" >> mybook.txt
For each file named chapter##.txt in the directory, it would append the file content to the end of mybook.txt. The "for" command batch processes all text files that meet the criteria. The "type" command outputs the content of the file, and the ">>" operator appends the content to the end of mybook.txt.
We got the combined text file except the chapters are placed in the file back to back without any visual separators. Next we will improve our code and add chapter headings:
for %f in (chapter*.txt) do dir /B "%f" >>mybook.txt & type "%f" >> mybook.txt
The dir /B "%f" command lists file names without its size or summary information, and the "&" operator tells DOS to perform multiple commands sequentially. We are almost there except that we would want to add blank lines above and below the chapter headings, and a string of *********** at the beginning of each chapter to make the separation stand out more. Here is the final code:
for %f in (chapter*.txt) do echo+ >> mybook.txt & echo ****************************** >> mybook.txt & echo+ >>mybook.txt & dir /B "%f" >>mybook.txt & echo+ >>mybook.txt & type "%f" >> mybook.txt
The "echo" command outputs the text string after it, and "echo+" simply means to output a blank line. The final result should look something like this:
Chapter 01 content...
Chapter 02 content
Chapter 03 content

New FCC Looks Poised To Overrule Local Barriers To 5G
Next-generation 5G wireless, based on very high-frequency waves that can carry significant amounts of data, would rely heavily on small cells packed closely together because the millimeter wave spectrum cannot carry data very far. That means that tower siting will be a key component of deploying 5G.

Hola de España, where the sky is blue, the sun shining, and the food is fresh. The year is 2017 and the month June. I am 26 years old, British, and until three months ago had never set foot in this fair land, a rarity for a British passport holder. Memories of "what I did on my summer vacation" talks primarily consist of the majority of the class regaling us with tales of Iberia. Not I; I walked in mountains.
Food, architecture and fashion are the artifacts of everyday life that tell you about the people. The fashion tells you that it is a hot, body-comfortable country; the architecture that it is a hot country that has been blessed with some genius architects over the last century, less blessed by a dictator over the same period, and walking the line between European and North African throughout its history. Now, to the food.
For all that I enjoy eating out, Spanish food is a great gaping hole in my knowledge. Exhibit O: I only found what a tortilla was in 2015, have never eaten in a tapas restaurant, and the only paella that I have eaten was more of a failed risotto.
So welcome, and join me on my journey out of ignorance.
Note: this is born of my experiences living and eating with a Spanish family, and eating in restaurants with an English person who has lived in Spain for 13 years. It is therefore a subjective journey through Spanish cuisine and not intended as being an actual how-to in Spanish cooking. There are plenty of other websites and books for that. Anything that I haven't personally tasted will be expressly stated, and other lame disclaimers.
Como Comer el Español
Or, how to eat like the Spanish.
Mañana, mañana. It's the Spanish way of life. southern Europe is far more relaxed than we tense northern Europeans. In northern Europe we need to eat – science tells us so – but in southern Europe eating is an event to be cherished, to be loved, to be celebrated.
As such, it is usually late.
Breakfast (desayuno) is (as with the rest of the world) usually eaten when you wake, which for this family during the school holidays is 8am. It is not much of an event. Usually bread with butter and marmalade, or with olive or, or some kind of sugar treat. Based on my experience with Italians, the Portuguese, and now the Spanish, it would seem that the morning is the time to load up on sugar. Biscuits or whatever was bought from the pastelería the day before, and chocolate milk is a perfectly acceptable breakfast for a child. It's the teachers I feel sorry for. The bread my host family has is usually a quite standard farmhouse or baguette. The marmalade is made from Seville oranges, I am told. And coffee, always coffee. I eat cereal.
Around midday you may have a piece of fruit or some yogurt, or if you start your day drinking early you may get a tapa or two.
Lunch (comida or almuerzo, depending on where you are. In Catalonia it is comida) is the most important meal, particularly on Domingo. It is served during siesta time, usually around 2pm or 3pm. The day is too hot to do anything else, and shops won't open again for another couple of hours. This is a full meal, with a primer plato, such as a salad or a soup, as well as a plato principal – your protein of choice. Bread is on the side, and oil is abound. The family tends to have fruit or a sweet treat afterwards. Never have I met such a fruit-loving family.
After a swim, or whatever you do in your afternoon, you may have la merienda, or afternoon snack, some time around 6pm. Mostly this is for children. I am considering myself a child for the next few weeks. More fruit or pastry, or an ice cream (helado) if we're out and about, and horchata or juice.
Then finally to dinner (cena). For an English person who was advised to not eat after 6pm, this is served impossibly late. Usually it is around 9.30-10.00pm. Last night for the Festa de San Joan, cena commenced at 11pm. Usually cena is smaller than comida, but still encompasses a full meal, though this may be more tapas-y in style. If you have to choose one meal with alcohol for the day, it tends to be cena. For a feast day – lest we forget that Spain is still quite influenced by its Catholic past – such as yesterday, cena is by far and away the biggest meal. I go to sleep at midnight and my body asks me why it must digest food in my sleep. With siestas, I suppose the Spanish must be able to take a two-part sleep enabling a later bedtime. I am yet to develop this skill.
Hands are used for tapas and plates are mopped with bread, but this isn't Malaysia and cutlery is utilised for meals.
Restaurants of Choice
Now for some blog post padding.
Spain has some of the finest restaurants in the world. I have been to none of them as a) I haven't spent much time in Spain, b) am not yet wealthy enough to, and c) don't make plans far enough in advance to secure a table.
Here is a quick whip through three of the most famous, all of which my hosts have visited and generally gave the review "excellent food, but they told us how to eat. I suppose you have to get something extra for the high price you're paying [even if it is just that you are yet to be sophisticated enough for this type of restaurant]". Ah the sweet finishing schools of Michelin-starred restaurants.
Cinc Sentits – one star
Contemporary Catalan cuisine in Barcelona. Considered Barcelona's best restaurant, with Barcelona itself being apparently (to some websites and magazines that have time to consider such things) one of the world's top food cities (many cities that I have visited this year have made similar claims). It is run by the self-taught chef Jordi Ardal and was established in 2004.
El Celler de Can Roca – three stars
Back when I was in a sketch group, there was a single sketch performed a single time which referenced El Celler de Can Roca (mostly because it is expensive and sounds terrible when spoken by an English person. Our mouths do not work the same as Spanish people's as I am learning in my attempts to improve my Spanish and teach children English), and now here I am, a mere 60km from it. It was established in Girona in 1986 by brother Joan, Josep and Jordi, serves 'creative' traditional Catalan cuisine, and was voted best restaurant in the world in 2013 and 2015.
elBulli – three stars
Possibly one of the most famous restaurants in the world when it was open, and even now anyone that seriously considers themselves a foodie (ick) should have encountered elBulli. It was opened in 1964 by Ferran Adrià and closed in 2011 for financial reasons (it's hard to make a buck in the restaurant biz). Along the way it became renowned as being, and I quote Wikipedia which quotes the Guardian, the "most imaginative generator of haute cuisine on the planet", specialising in molecular gastronomy. Have it, Heston. There's a documentary on Netflix, elBulli: Cooking in Progress, about elBulli's creative team and the launch of creativity centre, which opened in the restaurant's existing location in 2014 (I gave it 3*, or a half-hearted thumbs up).
So here begins my delectable journey into the gastronomical delights of the lands of matadors, flamenco, fake Hollywood, and the modernista movement.
Buen Provecho!

|[configuration] Cutting a 1.0 Release Help Needed
|Sun, 28 Mar 2004 17:28:50 GMT
Hi all, In response to a large number of posts I have recieved both on the mailing list and privately regarding when Commons Configuration 1.0 will be released, I have gone ahead and applied the last of the patches for bugs and I would like to cut the RC1 for Commons Configuration. The remaining issues in BugZilla are all enhancements or refactorings and should be applied post 1.0. At this point I am somewhat stuck at the checksum creation stage. I followed the directions from this document: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/release.html for steps 1 through 3. However, because Configuration is Maven based, when I run 'maven dist' SSH'ed into jakarta.apache.org I get an error about maven not existing. Ant works, however it tanks on the junit task. Do I need to do steps 4,5,6 SSH'ed in, or can I do them locally and update the results? I have placed some candidates at http://jakarta.apache.org/~epugh/builds/. If the Release Candidate 1 files look good to people, then I will follow the steps here: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/release.html to cut the 1.0 release. However, I am on winxp, and haven't followed the process of creating md5 checksum's etc.. However, if some other kind soul wishes to play the Release Manager role, I'd be much obliged to them.

AMITE - Teacher layoffs may not be necessary for the Tangipahoa Parish School Board, Assistant Superintendent Thomas Bellavia told the board's Curriculum Committee on Tuesday night.
Attrition has accounted for almost all of the cuts that may be needed, Bellavia said.
"If it is, it's going to be mighty few," Bellavia said. "It could be between five and 10."
The system enacted a "seniority-based" reduction-in-force policy earlier this year.
Under that system, first-year teachers would be the first to be laid off, Bellavia said./
He added teacher certification status also would be a factor.
Other issues addressed by the board included:
ATTORNEY FEES: Board member Sandra Bailey Simmons quizzed Chief Financial Officer Bret Schnadelbach and attorney Ashley Sandage on costs associated with the system's 46-year-old desegregation case.
Those costs have risen to more than $3 million, according to a document provided by administrators.
Schnadelbach said the accounting was up to date, but no fees had been paid to the plaintiffs' attorneys since April 2010.
Simmons asked Sandage why the School Board had to pay both plaintiffs' attorneys and their own in the case.
"That's just the law in these kinds of cases," Sandage replied. "The plaintiffs have to be allowed to pursue these kind of measures."
Plaintiffs attorney Nelson Taylor has been paid $874,000, the document shows.
Board member Brett Duncan asked if there was a procedure for challenging costs submitted by the plaintiffs' counsel.
Sandage said there was, and the board challenged some costs in 2010, before Duncan was on the board.

wrestling with the gimp, Part 3
Date Created: May 13, 2009 Date Modified: May 13, 2009
Well at east I have some positive feudback on my encounters with the gimp. I wanted to put together some tiles to ues as backgrounds for a site i was putting together fpr myself. all I wanted to do was knock up some 30 x 30 tiles – a mamoth effort for anyone trained in graphic design! and have them saved as .gif's. and I achived this with no hassles.
first the gradient tool is similar to photoshop, enough so that it was no trouble to use. infact its a bit more simple than photoshop but lacks some functionality.
Wrestling with the GIMP, part 2
Date Created: May 9, 2009 Date Modified: May 9, 2009
I was putting together some wallpapers in the gimp and started to feel the frustration again. I was wanting to paint some light on a black background and found that the brushes were too clumbsy to perform how I wouls expect photoshop to perform.
Its not a major issue but it may take some adjusting of the settings to get what i want.
The free WYSIWYG editor has been fairing much worse. I hate how it fucks up my lists and it does not refresh to updated style sheets.
infact it sucks for style sheets!
But thats the thing about open source–if it sucks then its possible to fix it (I just need to learn how to code)
Free WYSIWYG editor
Date Created: May 5, 2009 Date Modified: September 14, 2011
I wrote about this HTML editor called Nvu on my other blog, I'll post it here because its a Design tool.
From my other blog:
If you have visited this blog recently then you may have read about my trail of gimp. well Im happy to add another open source app to the list of free tools, and this one is great. it called Nvu
Its a WYSIWYG HTML editor, if you dont know what that means then you probably dont need it, but from someone with a few years of Dreamweaver experience, finding an open source tool that is not just notepad on steroids has been a battle ive been waging since Adobe took over Marcomedia.
WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) is the easyest way to design sites, being able to see what your doing as you do it. there are plenty of free manual code tools (I have been using HTML Kit alongside dreamweaver for as long as Ive been using DW) but Nvu sits happily between them.
Its not like DW, so dont expect it to have all the functionality as the expensive
Macromedia Adobe product-but it is simple to use, and does not put heaps of unnessisary code in. If you are looking to switch to open source apps then check this out.
It also works on Linux (and Mac if you suffer cognative disabilitys)
remember free software is almost as good as free beer
EDIT: Here is a tutorial on using Nvu if you are interested

We still have to sort all the images and footage we shot there and we're already leaving for Japan in a few days, so we hope to be able to share some of the results when we get back home again.

Destructive coastlines
Document Type
Book chapter
Publication details
Scheffers, AM Scheffers, SR & Kelletat, DH 2012, 'Destructive coastlines', in AM Scheffers, SR Scheffers & DH Kelletat (eds), The coastlines of the world with Google Earth: understanding our environment, vol. 2, Coastal Research Library, Springer Netherlands, pp. 97-124. ISBN: 9789400707375
Published version available from:
Coastal morphology and deposits are dependent on the geologic setting and history, climate, oceanographic environment and sediment supply, coastline orientation and exposure and the rate of past and modern sea level changes. Along secondary coasts the major geological forces operating at a shoreline – the line where the water surface intersects the shore – are waves and tides. Over the last 6000–7000yrs sea level has only oscillated slightly around its present day position. Therefore, for millennia waves have rolled onshore with calm troughs during quiet weather or breaking with fearful violence during storms and transforming, eroding and reshaping the coastlines around the world. In this chapter we will outline the result of abiotic destructive processes by these hydrodynamic forces from the sea and briefly discuss coastal forms produced by salt weathering. However, living organisms can affect coastal geomorphology on a grand scale with changes even perceptible on a human time scale. Here, we see how tiny organisms in the coastal zone create and shape coastal landforms and start with an important one: Bioerosion.

BOSTON (Reuters) - A lawyer for a friend of the accused Boston Marathon bomber who has been in U.S. custody since he was arrested in late May and charged with lying to investigators said on Friday he has found a place for the man to live ahead of trial, clearing the way for the suspect's possible release.
At a pre-trial hearing early this month, a lawyer for Kyrgyzstan citizen Khairullozhon Matanov declined to argue for pretrial release, saying that his client had lost his job and apartment as a result of his arrest.
The lawyer, Edward Hayden, in an email on Friday said he had found an apartment for Matanov, who lived in Quincy, Massachusetts, and worked as a cab driver prior to his May 30 arrest. That clears a roadblock that had previously prevented Hayden from seeking to have Matanov released ahead of trial.
Court officials on Thursday had set a Monday hearing on the matter.
At the man's first court appearance earlier this month, prosecutors had argued that Matanov, who immigrated to the United States in 2010 and has been granted asylum, was not suitable for pretrial release because he had no family ties in the country and owned no property.
He has pleaded not guilty to one criminal count of destroying records and three counts of lying to officials in a terrorism investigation. Matanov is not charged with taking part in the April 2013 attack that killed three people and injured more than 260 others.
Accused bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, is being held in a federal prison west of Boston awaiting trial on charges that carry the threat of execution if he is convicted.
Three other friends of Tsarnaev are also awaiting trial on charges of hampering the investigation into the deadly bombing.
Two of those are Kazakh men who arrived in the United States as exchange students but were found to have violated the terms of their visas by dropping out of school and are being kept in federal custody. The third is a U.S. citizen who lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and is out on bond.

Men, we need you. We—mothers, daughters, and sisters—need your help to raise healthy young women. We need every ounce of masculine courage and wit you own because fathers, more than anyone else, set the course for a daughter's life.
I have had father issues my whole life. I was pretty close to my dad when I was a kid. I was Daddy's princess like most of us are. But things haven't been the same ever since my parents decided to separate. The relationship started falling out because he always saw me as a burden financially. Yes he did say that he cared about me but actions speak louder than words you see.
In high school, we were expected to show our editing skills by Wikipedia-ing one of the famous personalities. My classmates chose to write about The King, Nelson Mandela, George Washington and so on. I wrote about my dad because I respected him and was really proud of who he was. I wanted the world to know that my dad is no less than a famous personality that you know. My father has always been around but is very unsupportive of me. We argued a lot because he feels I'm not the daughter he wanted. I feel that's the reason I do the things I do because I've always kind of wanted to be loved and accepted by a male figure.
I wouldn't blame the divorce for whatever happened and I shouldn't because a piece of paper doesn't really change anything but even if I want to deny that, it has definitely changed the way I look at things. Do I miss him? Yes, of course I do. Am I ready to forgive him for whatever he did to our family? I forgave him long time back. The only thing I regret is not trying hard enough to make it up to him. But it's always not up to me because it takes two hands to clap. And after all these years I feel like I now know why I did certain things in life and why I look for love in all the wrong places.
I have watched my female friends talk to their fathers. When dad comes in their room, they change. Everything about them changes: their eyes, their mouths, their gestures, and their body language. Daughters are never lukewarm in the presence of their fathers. They might take their mothers for granted, but not dads. They light up—or they cry. They watch dads intensely and hang on their words. We hope for the attention, and wait for it in frustration—or in despair. We need a gesture of approval, a nod of encouragement, or even simple eye contact to let us know that you care and are willing to help.
Many fathers assume they have little influence over their daughters—certainly less influence than their daughters' peers or pop culture—and think their daughters need to figure out life on their own. But your daughter faces a world markedly different from the one you did growing up: it's less friendly, morally unmoored, and even outright dangerous. If you fully understood just how profoundly you can influence your daughter's life, you would be overwhelmed.
When she's in your company, your daughter tries harder to excel. When you teach her, she learns more rapidly. When you guide her, she gains confidence.
Boyfriends, brothers, even husbands can't shape her character the way you do. You will influence her entire life because she gives you an authority she gives no other man.
The only advice I can give to dads is that when you are with her, whether you eat dinner and do homework together or even when you are present but don't say much, the quality and stability of her life—and, you'll find, your own—improves immeasurably. Even if you think the two of you operate on different planes, even if you worry that time spent with her shows no measurable results, even if you doubt you are having a meaningful impact on her, the fact is that you are giving your daughter the greatest of gifts.
Your daughter will view this time spent with you vastly differently than you do. Over the years, she will absorb your influence. She will watch every move you make. She might not understand why you are happy or angry, affectionate, but you will be the most important man in her life, forever.
Be it good or painful, the hours and years you spend with her or don't spend with her change who she is. Come on men, we daughters need you!

As an abbot of a medieval monastery, you compete with other abbots to amass the greatest library of sacred books. To do so, you need to have both the workers and resources to run a well-functioning scriptorium. To acquire workers and resources, you use a limited supply of donated gold. In addition, you must be on good terms with the powerful bishop, who can help you in your quest.

The rate of Sri Lankan school children engaged in sports is as low as 25% and when it comes to higher education the above percentage reaches low level of more than 8%. As a result of this 68% of deaths alone occur among persons below 65 years of age due to non-communicable diseases. The major factors that have contributed to this situation are wrong food habits, doping substances, smoking and inactivity.

Drawing analogies: Server Virtualization and "Modern" Data Networks
While I don't think the analogy of VMotion = VRRP/HSRP/GLBP is quite "tight" enough, Wes Noonan makes a pretty good (and purposefully ironic) case for server consolidation = network segment isolation through VLANs.
How virtualization was stolen from network admins | NetworkWorld.com Community
... I'm also going to prove that really all this big talk about virtualization is stuff they stole from us network admins anyway, and like usual we got none of the credit. :)
Even more direct of a comparison though is the tried and true
VLAN. You have a hub/switch, but you need to have multiple subnets
running on it. In the old days, this meant buying more devices (in
those days probably hubs) and winding up with an unmanageable sprawl of
network devices. You can consolidate all of those network devices into
a smaller subset, but still keep the isolation of network segments by
simply creating a VLAN for each network segment. One switch (or at
least a subset of the original switches) while still having the same
number of subnets. This sounds strikingly similar to how you can
consolidate all those physical servers down virtual machines running on
a handful of physical servers.

Only For Women
Sex toys for girls are ideal to achieve intense orgasms
Sex toys for girls are a strong trend. Erotic, shameful or embarrassing, for many, sex toys seem to be tailored to the needs of women and facilitate masturbation. It's time to break this myth and see the real benefits. Sex toys can be used in pairs or individually. No matter how they are used, should be ideally used to achieve pleasurable feelings and reach orgasm more easily or give a different touch to sex with your partner. For many women the topic of masturbation and sex toys is embarrassing, but it is necessary to break this tradition and quietly ask their uses and benefits. Anyways, you can find many options that will help you touch the sky. You need to get a general idea before using toys.
Believe it or not, girls sex toys can take you into the light. You can learn a whole new sex world that you didn't even know. You need to feel comfortable with your body. Treat each body part as a treasure. You don't want to feel empty and repressed, go step by step and venture onto a new sexual experience.
Apart from purchasing female sex toys, you can combine them along with many good tools. For instance, massage oils: they allow taking advantage of offering a sensual massage. Your lover will be amazed, especially if you start with a deep massage and then you show him how you can use your toy. Thanks to these liquid oils, you can press, rub or beat rhythmically with the right intensity parts of the body, mostly muscle mass, which may incite sexual excitement. Some oils are flavored to make oral sex be more attractive and fun.
Each woman can insert female masturbation toys into the vagina. When doing so, everything will spin inside, producing erotic sensations. Luckily, most toys are comfortable and can be used during the day, thereby increasing the sensation and vaginal lubrication takes place. They also serve to exercise the vaginal muscles. Ladygasm brings dildos and many other sex toys for girls. Usually these devices are made of silicone and or latex. There are many shapes, colors and flavors. The most used is the "dual" which allows you to insert one end in each of the holes in the crotch. Vibrators, dildos are vibrating, rotate and move. Models are available with special attachments to the stimulation of each of the erogenous zones and even different accessories makers of alternating sensations.
So, sex toys for girls are like pumps for the clitoris: a pump used to suck the clitoris and increased sensitivity. It comes as a cup, fits into the vagina and gently suctioned making the clitoris and vulva swell achieving greater sensitivity and sexual pleasure. If I was playing dare to investigate the issue more about the different toys that exist or take a chance to surprise your partner by buying one of these sex toys for women. Remember that it is important to always practice safe sex with your partner.

With more than 40 varieties of premium LED bulbs, the green consulting firm, Greene Irene LLC, has uncovered a new way to assist its clients in promoting green initatives efficiently without having to double up costs.
Green Irene launches its LED bulbs in the wake of the passage of the legislation in South Carolina through a 76-20 vote in which companies are encouraged to manufacture LED bulbs. The move will offer eco-friendly alternative through a transition from the traditional 100-watt incandescent bulbs to green products.
Meanwhile, clients of Greene Irene now have plenty of options to choose from various branded products that suit their energy-efficient lighting needs.
According to Green Irene CEO PJ Stafford, the fifth generation premium LED bulbs would compensate for the deficiencies in the past LED products, including incandescent, fluorescent and halogen light bulbs.
The LED bulbs are designed to last for up to 50,000 hours or 50 times longer than a traditional bulb. They include an industry-leading 5-year warranty and a 30-day return period. Initial purchase may cost higher, but energy savings trumped through years of using the LED bulbs would be much greater than when using conventional bulbs.
"Bulbs that last for 50,000 hours mean tremendous financial savings, fewer old bulbs going into landfills, and a lot less time on a ladder changing incandescent bulbs every 1,000 hours," Stafford said.

Fresh from supporting John Legend on tour and a brilliant collaboration with Joe Hertz Amber-Simone back with her first solo single of 2016, "Body Talk". Drawing from the widest possible array of influences, Amber-Simone is supremely talented. Her tracks are a blend of classic R&B sensibilities channelled through a forward-facing electronic prism. With her beguiling androgynous vocal and inventive soundscapes, there is nobody quite like Amber-Simone.
On new track "Body Talk", she says: "'Body Talk' is all about embracing control and sexuality. It is my take on the sonics of temptation and this is why the visual element for the track was so imperative. The artwork reflects the story of Adam and Eve, tying into 'Body Talk' through the constant themes of lust and temptation."
We talk to Amber-Simone about her inspiration, life on the road and what's next.
New single "Body Talk" is a real sweet blend of old-school soul and electronica, what kind of music did you listen to growing up and has this shaped your work?
I listened to a real mix growing up, people like Angie stone, Earth Wind and Fire, Jill Scott and Dazz band are some of my favourites that my parents used to play.
What was the last record you listened to?
I'm really into this guy called WILLS at the moment; his track Woes vs. Whoas is pretty serious.
Your songwriting has real depth, what inspires your lyrics?
I guess I really like to amplify how I'm feeling so I can look back at each track and remember a time and place, kind of like a photograph. I feel by being true to the moment and connecting with what's going on in my head, lyrics tend to weld themselves together quite quickly.
You went out on tour with John Legend; did you learn anything playing those huge shows?
Probably its biggest impact has been on how I've gone about writing music since and just trying to get the right energy. It's played a big part in how I've approached writing my EP.
Where's been your favourite place to perform?
I haven't played a lot of shows so far but I've seen a little bit of everything. There's something really special and personal about more intimate shows, but playing the O2 arena has been a massive highlight for me.
You previously collaborated with Joe Hertz. Are there any artists that you would love to work with in the future?
A Sampha collaboration would definitely blow my mind.
Your new EP is due later this year, how is it shaping up?
It's definitely a work in progress, but I'd say there are some contenders surfacing now which is exciting.
What does the future hold?
It's still a mystery to me...
"Body Talk" will be available to buy and stream from 26 August

The term Web 2.0 refers to the Internet's second, evolutionary phase. While the first phase included breakthroughs such as email and basic websites, today's Web 2.0 is interactive. Tools such as blogs and discussion boards encourage dialogue. Videos, podcasts, recorded multimedia presentations and live online meetings help people connect and build rapport in a fraction of the time and more cost effectively than ever before.
Fans of Web 2.0 see information as more useful and relevant when it's openly accessible, so that anyone can comment on or contribute to the conversation. This is the world of user-generated content.
Internet experts believe the next generation of the Web -- Web 3.0 -- will make tasks like searching for movies and food faster and easier. Instead of multiple searches, you might type a complex sentence or two in your Web 3.0 browser, and the Web will do the rest. The Web 3.0 browser will analyze your response, search the Internet for all possible answers, and then organize the results for you.
Many of these experts believe that the Web 3.0 browser will act like a personal assistant. As you search the Web, the browser learns what you are interested in. The more you use the Web, the more your browser learns about you and the less specific you'll need to be with your questions.
We are already seeing this type of personal assistance on our mobile phones. I just swapped my Android for an iPhone 4S and am playing around with "Siri" which lets me use my voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more.
"Ask Siri to do things just by talking the way you talk," says the iPhone literature. "Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and even talks back. Siri is so easy to use and does so much, you'll keep finding more and more ways to use it."
Embracing The New
It's a good thing I'm headed down to Dallas this week for the 7th annual T3 Technology Tools for Today conference. I plan to pick the brains of all the technology wizards there and, hopefully, take another step forward on the ever-evolving technology path.
I'll also be shooting some video with the help of a cameraman/producer to share on the T3 site. Video is one of the must-have communication tools in today's business world and, since we will all more and more be asked to appear on camera, we might as well start mastering the art of delivering interesting sound bites. So if you're attending the T3 conference, don't be shy—stop by the video station and record a few comments for the conference highlights reel.
In addition to learning how to be on camera, we all need to get our arms around creating video and multimedia presentations. Since popular social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter allow users to share interesting links, having your own video on the major sites drastically increases your chances of exposure. People are more likely to share an interesting video they came across, rather than an article, and having some video or a multimedia presentation on your website or blog will increase trust and overall engagement.
The good news is that video creation is no longer the complicated process it once was. Small hand-held video cameras and web cams built right into our computer screens and smart phones make it very easy to capture video content. Services such as Brainshark, BrightTalk and Camtasia make it easy to record and layer in together music, voice, photos, charts, Power Point slides, animation and video clips. The trick, I think, is making the video or multimedia presentation engaging.
How Advisors Are Using Video And Multimedia
Here are some examples of advisors who are using video and multimedia to enhance perceptions online:
-- John Barton, a CFP® based in Wichita, created a nice series of educational videos by flying into a studio in St. Louis. This turnkey solution is offered by a company called Comunicato (http://www.comunicatovideo.com). You can see John's video clips on his site: http://centerpointewealth.com.
-- Christian Koch, a CFP based in Atlanta, had the insight and perspective to hire the custom artistic team at Thrasher Photo and Design to create his video using Canon 5D Mark II professional cameras, iMac computers, and LaCie video drives, plus Final Cut Pro Editing Suite for video and Adobe CS5 Professional Suite for design and titles. You can see Christian's videos here on a profile page he maintains as a supplement to his website.
-- Andy Millard, a CFP® based in North Carolina, used something like Camtasia or Brainshark to create this multimedia presentation for his blog: http://www.andymillard.blogspot.com/2012/02/2012-td-ameritrade-institutional.html. He also has simpler video clips on his site – this one was done using just his web cam: http://www.andymillard.blogspot.com/2011/12/replaying-global-economys-effects-on.html
Here's a compelling video on the digital revolution and some information on Talk Fusion, a turnkey video email system for advisors: http://www.impactproductionsgroup.com.
So What Ideas Can You Bring to Life Via Web 2.0 Technologies?
Here's the place to start:
1. Add variety to your site that may be missing. Use multimedia clips, video and graphics to bring your site to life. Here's an example of how Navigator Legacy Partners uses a white paper library, a newly-published book and a video on the home page to add interest and draw people in: http://navigatorlegacypartnersllc.com
2. Display some of your own interests or passions (and perhaps those of your associates) on your business site or business Facebook page. For example, link to a fundraiser for your kids' school or post some of your travel photos or civic service photos. Here's an example of how Searcy Financial does it: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Searcy-Financial-Services/185212901283?sk=photos
3. Create an online community for your clients or start a virtual book club. Create ways for visitors to post comments and photos using a service such as www.Ning.com or www.WildApricot.com.
4. Add an online newsroom for credibility. Include thumbnail graphics of the articles or logos of the publishing company, along with a short news summary and a link back to the publication's site. Here's an example of a news page as well as the use of video on the home page to capture interest and build credibility: http://www.exemplarfnadvisor.com
5. Offer a virtual vault where clients can view documents such as wills, trusts, insurance policies and aggregated investment account balances. Services include www.eMoney.com, www.EstateLogic.com, www.miagd.com, www.netdocuments.com and http://www.advisorproducts.com/products/websites/advisorvaultct.aspx.
6. Create an interactive, engaging process for newcomers using a web-based financial road map system such as the one financial advisor James Brewer uses: http://www.boulevardr.com/br/planner/profile.jsf?id=jamesbrewer
Using technology to create a two-way exchange of information and sense of live interconnectivity is what Web 2.0 is really all about. By exploiting the web's latest attributes, you can make your life easier, build rapport with clients, impress strategic partners and win market share.
What's Ahead?
Next week, the Marketing Maven will discuss target-marketing strategies used by your financial advisor peers and how you can build a rich niche.
On the conference front, I'm looking forward to seeing old friends and new at the T3 Technology Tools for Today Conference: Feb. 16-18 in Dallas. Look for my staff members, who will be stationed just outside of the exhibit hall; they will be showing advisors how to record video postcards such as the one you see here: http://bit.ly/AaBCOP Follow updates on the 2012 T3 Conference on Twitter using hashtag #T32012.

1.Make sure the property is clean and tidy to a professional standard as you will be expecting the same from the tenants when they vacate the property. First impressions count so that when your prospective tenant views the property they will in no doubt be comparing against another property on the the rental market. It's amazing how many landlords and in some cases letting agents can get this wrong! When it comes to cleaning properties I would always recommend that you instruct a good cleaner/cleaning company which will take away the time and hassle of doing it yourself and allow you to focus on other property related tasks.
2.Now that your property is professionally cleaned you will need a detailed inventory including the condition of the furnishings, white goods and contents. Again this is a very time consuming task and although its not rocket science it is in my opinion very much an art as well as being very important that all contents of the property are documented correctly and thoroughly. There are now a number extremely good inventory clerks in Edinburgh who offer this service to letting agents in Edinburgh, private landlords and also cover other areas through the Lothians.
3.Depending on the style of the property ,rental and who you are targeting the property at e.g professionals, students, couples, corporate lets, the furnishings and decoration should reflect this, however, this does not mean putting in inferior contents or items that you would have normally thrown in the skip. Having quality tenants is paramount to the rental success of your property and you will expect them to respect and look after the property while they are renting it. It's best to keep carpets and decoration a neutral colour and any contents/items which have sentimental or are valuable removed from the property. Make sure you also de-clutter the property of any items and create space and easy access. If there are any repairs that need to be carried out make sure this is done e.g faulty taps,cracks in the walls, plumbing and that appliances work. Remember that all furnishings should be fire resistant and meet fire regulations.
4.Part 8 of the Anti-social Behaviour etc (Scotland) Act 2004 requires landlords to register (compulsory) the property with their local authority. This is done by registering online and a landlord/agent number issued so that local authority can monitor all landlords to meet minimum standards and in the case of rogue landlords take action against them.
5.You will need to get safety certificates such as a gas safety certificate, energy performance certificate (EPC), electrics test, portable appliance test (PAT) and as mentioned earlier that all furnishings meet fire standards. It is also recommended that you provide your tenant with emergency contact details for repairs and written instructions/location of emergency water, gas and electrics switches/taps in case these have to be switched off. Don't forget smoke alarms preferably hard wired, fire blankets and carbon monoxide detectors. Inform your lender for permission to let, insurance agents and factoring agents that you intend to let your property.
6.The tenant will be required to sign a lease agreement called a short assured tenancy and a special type of notice must be served on the tenant before the creation of a lease agreement called an AT5 form.
The AT5 form informs the tenant that the lease agreement being offered is a short assured tenancy and it is important that this is served properly. If you are in any doubt about this process it is recommended that you seek legal advice or speak to a letting agent.
7. If you are a UK resident you will be required to inform the HMRC that you will be renting your property. However many of the costs incurred for letting out your property may be tax deductible including agents fees. If you are not resident in the UK your agent will be required by law to withhold tax from any rent received on the property. HMRC will issue the landlord with a FICO number/code which they would provide for their agent.
8.Letting your property is very exciting but can also take up a lot of your time so it is worth considering using a letting agent of which there are now plenty of in Edinburgh. Their management fees will vary but as rough guide can be between 10%-12% per month for full management including property inspections.
There are a lot of flats in Edinburgh and the rental market is extremely competitive amongst the different letting agencies so don't be afraid to ask them for a good deal to manage and let your property. When considering all the checks ,time and tasks required to let a property we would recommend that you use a good Edinburgh letting agent with a proven track record.If you are thinking of letting your property and would like a free rental valuation please go to www.search4lets.co.uk/property_valuation/Posted on 19th April 2013 <‐ Back to Listings Tweet

Classic bikes and classic parts require a classic workshop and a mechanic with specialist knowledge and experience. The skills and techniques for repairing these bikes are disappearing fast as materials and technologies change. I was taught by the best and built bikes for the best. From sourcing period correct parts, renovations, bike builds, re-tracking and cold setting, or just sympathetically treating paint and transfers to keep a bike on the road, I can help.
About Me
I had my childhood in the 1970s and my teens, together with the start of my bike mechanic career, in the 1980s; so it's no surprise that I developed a passion for the bikes of that era.
I worked as a mechanic in Newcastle upon Tyne in the north east of England and experienced the widest range of bikes, from the huge amount of student bikes repaired on a shoestring, to professional road bikes built to top specifications and using the latest technologies.
The shop was called Denton Cycles. I learned my trade in this shop and still try to keep the DENTON name alive through restorations.
Steel frames were the main stay business, Reynolds 531 & 753 frame sets from the local suppliers such as Dave Yates and Joe Waugh, to vintage Mercians, Flying Scots and Hetchins, together with the finest steel and bonded frames from builders such as Colnago, Vitus & TVT. Every discipline was catered for… Road, Time trial, Track, Cyclo cross and even Tandems! Mountain Bikes were even in there too, 3 of the bikes I built being ridden by the National champion in 3 World downhill championships.
Although there were lots of exotic new frames and materials coming through in the nineties, the steel frames of the 70's, 80's & 90's remained my firm favourite. And that is how my passion for the Specialist Bicycle Development Unit (SBDU) started.
The DENTON name has been associated with the bicycle trade in the North East for over 60 years and the name will continue to make appearances on new frames in the future. The DENTON name will live on with me as a brand at Specialist Bicycle Restorations.

I'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch if you would like more information on the services I provide and how I could help.

How about katemcy rock- http://katemcyrocks.com/
Good off-road park up north here - we call it Montana.
Montana?? Where that is??
Honestly, I had never heard of off-road parks until RCC about 10 years ago. And, I've never gone anywhere to 4X4 - but, often needed 4X4 to get where I'm going.
Well, my RC isn't set up for rock crawling but that will not keep me from hanging out. If that is where everyone one wants to go then I am cool with it. My truck currently sits at stock height. I have noticed that some of these places charge per person and per vehicle so it maybe best to get a group rate.

Orion Group website goes live
Share this article
4MAT is delighted to announce that Orion Group's new careers website, Orion Jobs, is live.
A client of 4MAT since 2012, Orion Group recently developed a new visual identity and took this opportunity to evolve their website, taking the next step in terms of both technology and brand. They wanted to stand out in their sector, with a range of features that would engage candidates and increase conversion rates; they knew 4MAT would deliver a website platform that was both cutting edge in terms of user experience and visual identity. 4MAT delivered: Orion Group has not only seen a significant improvement in their conversion rate but increased candidate engagement through Google by 50%.
Orion Group also needed their new website to reflect the changing nature of their business. Though their core business lay in engineering and technology within the oil and gas industries, many clients were asking Orion Group to recruit across a wider range of sectors such as marketing to finance. To reflect this diversification of the business, Orion Group wanted to evolve their brand image, focussing on people rather than one particular industry. The website needed to strengthen this updated brand identity.
Orion Group's website has been reconfigured to make it easier than ever to browse and find a large range of jobs at the touch of a button. The site itself includes features designed to make the customer experience more engaging than ever before. The website boasts predictive search, a feature unique to 4MAT, that can deliver jobs and content, Google-style, before the candidate has even finished typing. It also includes a 'social wall' that lets you view a variety of tailored content and the addition of Orion Group's 'social hub'.
Built to link jobs to the recruiter, the 'social hub' provides jobseekers with a more human experience and point of contact should they want any more information about the company, or about the job. This also reflects the changing job seeker behaviour. People want to talk to people not always apply online.
Orion Jobs also features personalised content, providing the ultimate customer experience. Building a social profile from the candidate's browsing history, Orion Jobs will personalise certain sectors of the website, advertising jobs similar to those previously searched for and promoting blog posts relevant to those previously read.

The Importance of Mouth Guards
Mouth guards are appliances for the mouth that protect the teeth and gums of the wearer. In most instances, mouth guards are used during physically demanding activities such as contact sports or when working in a hazardous environment that might result in a blow to the face.
Mouth injuries are particularly common in children, with one in three boys and one in four girls sustain a mouth injury by the time they complete high school. A mouth injury can be to the lips, gums, teeth, or inside of the cheeks and often results in the need to see a dentist, so they can properly treat the problem. In many instances, wearing a mouth guard could have prevented the injury or minimized the damage. Some student athletes resist wearing mouth guards because they don't like the way they affect their appearance, but these same students will be even less enamored of their looks after a few teeth are knocked out!
Mouth guards generally fit inside the mouth but offer protection to the whole area, including the jaw, tongue, teeth, lips and, to some extent, the cheeks. A blow to the face with enough force can tear soft tissue, break or dislodge teeth, and throw the jaw out of alignment. Mouth guards help protect you by preventing the sharp surfaces of your teeth from ripping into the delicate tissues of the interior of your mouth and cheeks. If you're wearing braces or a bridge, a mouth guard can also cover these devices and keep them from damaging surrounding tissue. Mouth guards also minimize the effects of concussions and other head injuries, particularly those sustained in contact sports.
Mouth Guard Styles
Most mouth guards are made of pliable plastic that fit over and around your teeth and fit all or partially inside the mouth. There are variations in style and material depending on what your needs are, but in general they will be one of three common designs:
• Custom fitted mouth guards are made by a dentist, providing excellent protection because they are custom molded to your teeth and mouth. These offer excellent protection to your mouth and jaw line.
• For a fit that's still quite good, the most common mouth guards are made of a plastic that is softened in hot water, allowing you to mold the guard to your teeth for a secure fit. Most student athletes use this form of guard.
• Pre-shaped mouth guards are the least attractive option because there is such variation in the size of the teeth and the shape of the mouth between individuals. These ready-made mouth guards can be uncomfortable and are knocked out of place easily because they often don't fit well.
Caring For Mouth Guards
If you're using a mouth guard, you'll need to keep it clean so that you don't end up with bacteria or other contaminants on it that can contribute to gum disease. Any time you're putting something foreign into your mouth, it's crucial that it be properly cleaned.
Each time you remove your mouth guard, wash it with warm, soapy water and allow it to dry naturally. Too much heat, such as a hair dryer, can break down the guard material. Soaking mouth guards in antiseptic mouth wash will also kill germs and may make wearing it more palatable.

Last week I visited a local grade 6 school to tell the students about their great Canadian boreal forest and the tiny, but mighty, mountain pine beetle. This was the second time I visited this school and unbeknownst to us I have apparently acquired the nickname "Beetle man". I also brought with me tree cookies, beetle damaged bark and wood with galleries, a plate of blue stain fungus, beetle specimens and a stereo microscope. I also brought live Alberta born beetles with us to show the students, so clearly I lived up to my nickname. I had lots of fun with the students and got many great questions. The students very intrigued that such a "cute little bug" could cause so much damage.
Science classrooms are unique learning environments unlike any other classrooms. As a matter of fact, some things only happen in science classrooms. Here is a collection of event that happened in my own science classroom over the last school year. It's a growing list, so check back for updates.
Report from yours truly live-tweeting and navigating the melee at GETCA 2015 (Annual Greater Edmonton Teachers' Conference).
Can a pencil be more than just your average run of the mill pencil? The legendary Palomino Blackwing Pearl can take a student or teacher's writing to new heights. We have taken a batch of the Pearls for a spin and are blown away by how much writing and sketching can be transformed by this unassuming pencil.
Dr. Pineda's Classroom is going YouTube with the release of its first screencast on the exciting topic of calculating percents. Only time will tell if this is the start of something big and shiny or just a passing fad.
After several weeks working on setting up habitats for new classroom animals the big day finally arrived. The newest addition to our classroom include aquatic denizens in our new aquarium and a teenage bearded dragon with lots of attitude and no table manners.

Chip as you putt
One way to gain confidence is to regard your chipping stroke merely as an extension of your putting stroke. Try this with your 8 iron. Take your normal putting grip and play the ball back in your stance. Keep your hands and weight forward favouring your left side and spread your elbows. The heel of the club must be raised off the ground – thus you must stand very close to the ball. Control the stroke with a gentle rocking of your shoulders. Concentrate on maintaining the width of the gap between your elbows as you swing back and through.
