Nokia has expanded their consumer email and instant messaging assets by purchasing OZ Communications. OZ Communications is based in Montreal, Canada and currently employes 220 employees. The two companies have had close ties since 2003 making an acquisition by Nokia a "natural extension of our partnership" according to Jim Knapil, CEO and President of OZ Communications. The acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
Once acquired, OZ Communications will become a part of Nokia's Services and Software group. OZ currently has a subscriber base of 5.5 million users and provides mobile access to instant messaging and email services. Some of the services they provide access to include AOL, Gmail, ICQ, Windows Live, Hotmail, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo.
OZ Communications will make a great addition to Nokia's portfolio. It's good for Nokia to continue to expand the diversification of their business to include hardware, software and services. It will put the company in a better position to defend against downturns in mobile phone unit sales.

I'm a little late with my post today, must still be on vacation time :)
I crawled out of bed this morning at 4:30 for my early day of clients, had a couple rounds of eggs whites and toast, and hit the gym and the grocery store all before noon… pretty productive for just getting back home! I do still have a bag that needs unpacking and food that needs prepping but I'll get to it eventually. My workout this morning was 1000% better than my workouts toward the end of last week. I was feeling really tired and like I might be on the verge of over training so 4 days off from the gym was much needed.
We went down to Rocky Point for B's mom's birthday- lucky for us it's only about a 3 1/2 hour drive from Phoenix and we both absolutely love it there. It's a great place to go and just relax which is just what we needed.
The weather was awesome- mid to low 70s the whole time and a little chilly at night. Since we're already in the 90s here in Phoenix being a little cold felt great.
Like I said, we did a lot of relaxing, laying out, and eating and drinking of course! We also did a day on the quads and went in to town a few times too which is one of my favorite things to do down there.
Lots of vino (and tequila!) and lots of chips and guac was had. Lots of chips and guac.
For some reason this is the only random meal I remembered to take a photo of. It was chicken fajitas with refried beans and fries… for some reason everything down there comes with fries and of course those are my kryptonite! We also had a women that came in every morning to make an authentic breakfast for us all. She brought all the ingredients, made a delicious breakfast and then cleaned the entire kitchen before she left- so worth the 8 whole dollars per person!
We obviously had so much fun and it was nice being laid back and not worrying about the gym, coating macros etc. but at the same time I have to say it feels good to be back to my routine too. A few days off is great but by the end I'm always ready for some veggies and a good cardio session. Did I just say that? ;)

In order to turn nuclear fission into electrical energy, nuclear power plant operators have to control the energy given off by the enriched uranium and allow it to heat water into steam.
Enriched uranium typically is formed into inch-long (2.5-centimeter-long) pellets, each with approximately the same diameter as a dime. Next, the pellets are arranged into long rods, and the rods are collected together into bundles. The bundles are submerged in water inside a pressure vessel. The water acts as a coolant. Left to its own devices, the uranium would eventually overheat and melt.
To prevent overheating, control rods made of a material that absorbs neutrons are inserted into the uranium bundle using a mechanism that can raise or lower them. Raising and lowering the control rods allow operators to control the rate of the nuclear reaction. When an operator wants the uranium core to produce more heat, the control rods are lifted out of the uranium bundle (thus absorbing fewer neutrons). To reduce heat, they are lowered into the uranium bundle. The rods can also be lowered completely into the uranium bundle to shut the reactor down in the event of an accident or to change the fuel.
The uranium bundle acts as an extremely high-energy source of heat. It heats the water and turns it to steam. The steam drives a turbine, which spins a generator to produce power. Humans have been harnessing the expansion of water into steam for hundreds of years. To learn more about the properties involved, read How Steam Technology Works.
In some nuclear power plants, the steam from the reactor goes through a secondary, intermediate heat exchanger to convert another loop of water to steam, which drives the turbine. The advantage to this design is that the radioactive water/steam never contacts the turbine. Also, in some reactors, the coolant fluid in contact with the reactor core is gas (carbon dioxide) or liquid metal (sodium, potassium); these types of reactors allow the core to be operated at higher temperatures.
Given all the radioactive elements inside a nuclear power plant, it shouldn't come as a surprise that there's a little more to a plant's outside than you'd find at a coal power plant. In the next section, we'll explore the various protective barriers between you and the atomic heart of the plant.

N.Chandrasekaran,CEO,TCS talks about how the future of Internet is linked to our future.
India – Mumbai : It has now been almost 50 years since the Internet was conceived and 30 years since the World Wide Web came into existence. The Internet has evolved over last three decades connecting computers, people and devices; leading us to a world where virtually everything is getting connected today. The advancement of the Internet has become the cornerstone for the evolution and growth of the global economy. If we isolate the Internet economy, it represents an economic value of US$ 4 trillion, making it one of top 5 global economies along with the US, China, Japan and India. If it were a country, it would be the world's largest. In 2016, a major threshold will be surpassed with over 50% of the world's population expected to connect through the Internet – a new milestone in human history.
The Internet has already become a public utility like electricity, gas or water and is considered a vital service on which entire societies, industries and economies are based. An increasing one-fifth of the world's GDP growth can be solely attributed to the Internet.
Speeding up through the 'Internet of Things'
Over the past decade, internet-driven innovation has been about the "internet of people" spurred on advancements in social media, big data and mobile devices. This is still changing the way industries and businesses operate, particularly within the Business-to-Consumer (B2C) context. In the next decade, three principal elements will drive the continuing evolution of the Internet -The Internet of Things (IoT), evolution in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deployment of the next generation of telecom infrastructure (5G).
The IoT revolution in particular is expected to have a significant impact on manufacturing, energy, transport, agriculture and other core industry sectors. Connecting products, devices and processes through networked sensors, machine learning and big data will present an enormous opportunity to innovate. There are now almost 5 billion connected devices in the world, an increase of 30% from last year, and this figure has the potential to cross 25 billion by 2020. It promises to fundamentally transform and disrupt a wide range of traditional industries. A recent trends survey – conducted by my company – of 800+ senior executives from across the world indicated that 80% of companies, across all major industries, have started planning or executing IoT initiatives and are making large investments in the field.
All this will drive a faster and more pronounced evolution of the Internet than ever before. I recently hosted one of Europe's political leaders who best understands technology, Carl Bildt, at the TCS Summit in Venice with 300 of Europe's top business leaders to discuss how digital was becoming the new default. He made a powerful statement which sums it up well: "Very soon the Internet of Things will become the Infrastructure on which all other infrastructures are based."
Barriers Abound
While the Internet is poised towards becoming a universal public good, we cannot take it for granted. There are several challenges that may yet inhibit its development. Unlike various other public goods, what makes it distinct is that while being extremely global in nature, it is regulated and protected at a fragmented national level. There is a need to evolve Internet Governance standards, rights and dispute resolution institutions at a multilateral level – akin to a United Nations or a World Trade Organization. Cybersecurity remains a potent risk that is chipping away at the trust of networks and the global economy. Over US$ 400 billion of economic value is lost annually to cybercrime and such breeches must be prevented through stronger systems and safeguards. Much like physical roadways, the Internet's roadways are being choked by an increasing surge of data traffic. We are at such a steep point of the exponential curve that 90% of the world's data across history has been generated in just the last few months. Much of this is flowing through antiquated networks and there is a need to step up next generation infrastructure, including 5G telecom networks and a more assertive move to IPv6 to access the Internet. With the proliferation of data, there is growing concern for data protection and privacy, which needs a balanced approach. Both under and over regulation that stifle innovation should be equally unwelcome.
The need for Public-Private Dialogue
The Internet is a utility for all – for people, for businesses and for government. Hence it needs to be managed and evolved through a sustained public-private dialogue. I have the privilege to serve as the 2015-16 Chairperson for the IT Industry Governor's steering committee at the World Economic Forum (WEF). The group of CEOs from the IT industries who constitute this body have had multiple initial private-public dialogues involving the European Commission, the US government and public leaders across the developed and emerging world. This has set the agenda of priorities. The focus in 2016 should be to take this forward by evolving regional and national digital strategies that move towards a more homogenous global governance of the Internet. There also needs to be a renewed focus on attracting business investment for building supporting digital infrastructure, lifting barriers for cross-border business, and partnerships to bridge the growing digital skills gap. The private sector is a much needed partner on these fronts.
For example, TCS recently forged an agreement with the British Council to have 1000 university graduates from the UK spend one-year internships in India from 2016 to 2020 – strengthening their digital skills and bringing that much needed experience back to the UK's labor force.
A more digital world needs an evolving Internet as its fundamental backbone and access to the Internet is fast becoming a basic human right. The Future of the Internet is inextricably linked to the future of the human race. This journey will be bright, if we do it right.

This past Thursday was the third Expo Event of 2014 here at Plug and Play, and it definitely had the best turnout of the year. A mix of 800+ entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate representatives packed the auditorium at the Plug and Play Event Center in Sunnyvale yesterday for 56 pitches from the most promising startups of this year's Brand & Retail and Startup Camp accelerators.
The day's events were kicked off with a keynote speech from Bitpay's Chief Compliance officer Tim Byun. Tim has over 20 years of experience in ensuring compliance, including five years as Visa's AML officer and 16 more as a bank examiner for the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. Tim's speech touched on the advantage of 'push' transactions (such as Bitcoin) over certain traditional forms of payment as 'pull' transactions. Where 'pull' transactions such as credit and debit card payments require data about the user to initiate the process, 'push' transactions circumvent the need for the input of personal information. Tim's speech was perfectly timed and particularly relevant in light of the recent security breach at Home Depot.
There was also a 'fireside chat' featuring our CEO Saeed Amidi alongside Plug and Play co-investors Deepak Kamra and Mohsen Moazavi, during which they discussed their respective technology investment strategies. Deepak has been with Canaan Partners for over 20 years where he has specialized in digital media as well as software investments and Mohsen is a founding partner of Columbus Nova Technology Partners which is a global, multi-stage technology investment firm. Their discussion provided strategic insight to investors searching for the right technology in addition to some sage advice for entrepreneurs working to get their ideas off of the ground.
The day was composed of three 90 minute sessions, each of which was made up of 16 to 20 five minute pitches. At the conclusion of each segment, the judges voted to select three winners for a total of six by the end of the day. The following companies pitched throughout the day:

The American Health Information Management Association, the professional association of health information managers, is launching an initiative to promote information governance as a way to improve the quality of health care data.
AHMIA's chief executive Lynne Thomas Gordon outlined at this week's HIMSS conference in Orlando the group's effort, which she said is aimed at ensuring health information is accurate and actionable which is a big challenge for healthcare providers.
"The purpose of information governance is to have information we can trust," she said.
Also See: Evaluation Criteria for Data Governance Tools
Information governance, in short, sets policies and procedures for handling each piece of data that an enterprise handles to ensure it's accurate, accessible and secure.
The different ways something as simple as a patient's name can be entered into a medical record illustrates the problem, Thomas Gordon said. For instance, a patient by the name of Jane Jones could be entered into one file under "Jane Jones", another under "Mrs. Jones," and yet another under "J. Jones".
The effects of poor data quality can be disastrous. "Quality health care depends on the availability of quality data. Poor documentation, inaccurate data, and insufficient communication can result in errors and adverse incidents. Inaccurate data threatens patient safety and can lead to increased costs, inefficiencies, and poor financial performance," according to a report, titled "Assessing and Improving EHR Data Quality," that AHIMA published last year.
Among the efforts that Thomas Gordon said AHIMA is embarking on to promote data quality:
- Working on an industry benchmarking survey to determine where health care as in industry is in terms of information governance.
- Planning to develop a self-assessment tool so health-related organizations can determine how well their own data governance efforts stack up.
- Developing thought-leadership programs and an educational whitepaper series on the topic of information governance.
- Planning to craft and provide policies and procedures around healthcare data governance.
"I feel we can truly make a difference," said Thomas Gordon.

Uniondale, N.Y. — Almost five minutes remained in Saturday's game when Panthers coach Pete DeBoer decided to pull goalie Tomas Vokoun for an extra attacker. It was that kind of night for the Panthers, who struggled horribly and suffered the same fate here as they did on New Year's Eve.
The Islanders beat the Panthers 3-1 at Nassau Coliseum, with Gregory Campbell scoring Florida's lone goal with an extra attacker and 1:27 left.
"You'd like to say their goaltender won the game, but I don't think that was the story," DeBoer said of Yann Danis, who played just his 16th NHL game. "He played well, but they capitalized on their opportunities. We didn't.
"This is a team that seems to have our number. We haven't played well in here this year."
The Panthers lost to the Isles here 4-2 a month ago, and DeBoer stressed the importance of not underestimating the NHL's worst team this time. "The table was set that you wouldn't think this would happen, but it did," he said.
Most frustrating for the Panthers is that they had many chances to score. They finished with 38 shots, eight more than the Islanders, and had a four-minute power play in each of the first two periods because of high-sticking calls. They came up empty on six power-play chances Saturday.
"The power play against Montreal [on Thursday] looked like a million bucks and tonight it didn't," DeBoer said. Added Campbell: "It's frustrating. We probably could have helped ourselves more by being hungrier around the net."
The Panthers were without leading scorer David Booth (flu). They didn't lack effort, but their timing was a little off and bounces went against them.
On the Islanders' first goal, Vokoun stopped a shot with his stick, dragged the puck to the other side of the net and banked it off the end boards. It bounced back hard past defenseman Jay Bouwmeester and right to Mike Comrie, who tapped it in.

How are these Hollywood stars that are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, maintaining their youthful and radiant faces? Some may believe its due to plastic surgery, botox, or expensive makeup products but that's not always the case. According to celebrity dermatologists, this is NOT the case! Hollywood's favorite doctor has recently shared on his show a skin cream that has been kept Hollywood's little secret for years now.
During an interview with Raquel Welch, it was revealed that she too has been using this anti-aging cream. At 76 years old, Raquel looks almost half her age.
Raquel credits this anti-aging wrinkle skin cream. "I'm very much into how I look, it's just me. This cream has helped me avoid plastic surgery for many years now," Raquel says. "I've probably gone through 100 different skin creams before finding this one," she continues. We're trying her new product here to see if you really can look decades younger in just a few minutes.
Hollywood Dermatologists have been careful to keep this beauty secret for only celebrities and socialites…but it's finally been exposed!
" is by far the most innovative anti-aging product available and it's the cheapest & effective alternative to cosmetic surgery" – Hollywood Dermatologists
"Hundreds of stars have admitted to using to dodge surgery and look up to 15 years younger!"
So what exactly is it?
2 Vital Components of this Anti-Aging Serum:
- Proprietary Bisophere
- QuSome
Both of these natural substances combine together to fade lines, remove wrinkles, and rejuvenate skin tissue at the cellular level – beneath the skin. This precise targeting is what sets them apart from the competition.
Proprietary Bisophere is The Fountain of Youth:
The first step in the anti-aging formula that the doctors discussed was Proprietary Bisophere.
"Proprietary Bisophere reverses the aging process for your skin." -Harvard University Medical Team
When absorbed by the skin, Proprietary Biosphere filters deep into damaged skin tissue and releases fresh collagen – a protein that tightens your skin. Beauty advocates are raving about Proprietary Biosphere's effects after a 2016 case study saw a reduction in 70% of wrinkles and fine lines for women above the age of 30. Harvard scientists concluded that is exactly why was so effective. It is one of the only products on the market that has a high concentration of PB with the right consistency.
Famous Hollywood doctors revealed that the second piece of the anti-aging puzzle is QuSome. When QuSome is combined with the correct dosage of Proprietary Bisophere, it thrusts your new skin cells to the epidermis (the top layer of your skin) allowing your skin to appear up to 20 years younger and gives it that radiant 'glowing' look.
Few people know that QuSome actually binds to moisture. The substance itself can hold up to 1000x its own weight in water, so after you rub the cream in, it naturally puffs up your skin in those areas that are prone to wrinkles. QuSome repairs these 'problem zones,' most notably the areas around your eyes and forehead, and regenerates skin that is suffering from dryness or stress. After extensive research, Harvard doctors told the audience that is the only over-the-counter product currently on the market with the proper concentration of QuSome.
"Proprietary Bisophere & QuSome work with your natural facial oils to rejuvenate decaying skin, replacing it with new, tighter tissue. This literally turns back the clock on your appearance, erasing away wrinkles and fine lines allowing you to appear 10-20 years younger in a matter of weeks! Research has proven that has the highest concentration and purest forms of PB and QuSome and that's exactly why Raquel Welch uses as her daily face cream. I also recommend it to all of my prestigious clientele." – Hollywood Dermatologists
This beauty secret was Hollywood's best kept secret until Jennifer Belew, a 62-year-old mother of four from Orange County, California was featured on The Talk. Jennifer's testimonial sent shockwaves through the beauty industry and she became the poster girl for showing how quick-wits and resourcefulness can save women thousands of dollars and keep them from getting painful injections or face lifts.
Jennifer barely had enough money to pay for her mortgage, let alone shell out a ton of cash for every anti-aging product claiming its some type of 'miracle serum,' or to visit to an esteemed plastic surgeon.
Jennifer Belew's 14-day anti-aging metamorphosis using
From the first moment I started using , I was really surprised how smooth and soft it made my skin feel. It felt like the skin on my face and my pores were being gently pulled by some type vacuum cleaner. My skin felt tighter.
There's no other way to describe it! I could feel a tingling sensation on the areas I used the cream – near my eyes, my smile lines, and on my forehead. After looking in the mirror, I could see that my face looked a little rosy – the result of revitalizing blood coming to the surface of my face to renew my skin.
After the skin cream was completely absorbed into my skin, my face looked a bit firmer and had a radiant glow to it.
After just five days of using Raquel Welch's Anti-aging Wrinkle Skin cream, I was amazed. These are some serious results!
The lines near my eyes, dark spots, and wrinkles were visibly reduced in size right before my eyes!
I was shocked by the results and I honestly felt 15 years younger. It was like watching all of my fine lines and wrinkles disappear right off my face!
After 14 days with this product, not only had all of my hesitation and skepticism totally vanished – SO HAVE MY WRINKLES!
The deep lines on my forehead, the crows' feet, the sagging skin on my neck – even the dark age spots on my cheek had COMPLETELY disappeared. I have never felt or used any anti-aging product that tightened my skin with this kind of result before. Even the expensive products don't yield these results.
After 2 weeks, the skin on my face and neck not only stayed tightened and smooth, it actually seemed to improve daily until my skin became as beautiful and glowing as it was 20 years ago. At this point, my friends and family are completely shocked. They could not believe the difference in my skin, and they were convinced I had been lying about not having botox!
Will This Work For You? Our Verdict:
Using , virtually 98.9% of all her wrinkles were removed and her problem areas were fixed. It tightened the skin on her face and neck, diminishing all signs of aging, dehydrated skin, and sagging.
There are lots of skin care gimmicks out there, and the majority of them are ridiculously pricey. And with that many options it's only natural to be skeptical about these results. So rather than making promises, we simply challenge you to do what Hollywood Dermatologists and Raquel Welch recommended to Jennifer Belew: try it for yourself!IMPORTANT: *We have tested both products together, so It is important that you use Step 1 and Step 2 in this method to achieve similar results.

We were not able to stay overnight in Muzdalifah because we could not find any place except on the road, and they did not let anyone stop on the road. So we left and went to Mina. Do we have to do anything?.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz said:
If he could not find any place in Muzdalifah or if the soldiers prevented him from stopping there, then he does not have to do anything, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"So keep your duty to Allaah and fear Him as much as you can"
[al-Taghaabun 64:16]
But if that was because he took the matter lightly, then he has to offer a sacrifice and repent.

Navy Veterans' Organizations Suing VA Over Agent Orange Exposure During Vietnam War
- Author: Doug Karr
- Date: 8/9/2013
In a heroic attempt to right an administrative wrong, two Navy veterans' organizations are suing the Department of Veterans Affairs and Secretary Eric Shinseki over the use of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. Specifically, the suit alleges that the medical benefits that the VA offers does not cover treatments for conditions stemming from exposure to the lethal weapon.
VA Secretary's Ambitious Plan to Overhaul Claims System Shows Promise
- Author: Doug Karr
- Date: 5/23/2013
Surprising or not, the Department of Veterans Affairs kept physical, paper files on each and every claim made by a veteran, and because the record keeping is cumbersome and archaic, many question why the VA has stuck to such an outdated claims system for so long, especially with the recent uptick of veterans needing support and services.

Michael Stevens, a former member of the Merchant Navy, died from repeated asbestos exposure and subsequent malignant mesothelioma. He was 83.
Similarly to the Merchant Marine in the United States, the Merchant Navy operates on behalf of the United Kingdom. Formerly established and nationally recognized by King George V after World War I, the Merchant Navy served a pivotal role not only in the Great War but also in World War II. These privately operated vessels supported the Royal Navy's efforts during times of conflict.

Spondylosis, also known as degenerative spinal arthritis or spinal osteoarthritis, is often caused by the natural degeneration of the spine.
As the spine ages, the vertebrae of the spine may experience compression from weight gain or repetitive movements. This compression adds pressure to the vertebrae and the facet joints found between them. These joints allow the vertebrae to bend and move, and also cushion the vertebrae with cartilage so the bones do not impact each other. However, under continued compression, the facet joints may wear down, allowing the surrounding vertebrae to impact each other with movement.
Over time, as the vertebrae rub together with every movement of the spine, small growths called bone spurs may form. Bone spurs may be completely unnoticeable if they do not impact a nearby nerve root. However, if a nerve root is impacted, severe pain and symptoms can occur.
Diagnosing spondylosis
Because the symptoms are similar, spondylosis is sometimes misdiagnosed as degenerative disc disease. Degenerative disc disease is the breakdown of the discs between vertebrae rather than the cartilage between facet joints. Spondylosis also should not be confused with rheumatoid arthritis in the spine, a less common, although potentially more severe, autoimmune disease of joint tissue. Also, keep in mind that osteoarthritis is not the same condition as osteoporosis, which is the loss of bone mass over time.
While neck or back pain caused by these similar conditions and others can resemble the symptoms of osteoarthritis of the spine, there are specific signs that could point to spondylosis. These signs include:
- The sensation of bone rubbing on bone
- Weakness or numbness in the legs, as with lumbar spine arthritis with spurring
- Numbness or tingling in the arms or hands, as with cervical spine arthritis with spurring
- Diminished joint flexibility
- Intermittent joint pain that eases with movement
If you're experiencing neck or back pain, you should consult your physician. He or she will likely use a physical examination, combined with spinal imaging and blood tests, to determine the origin and nature of your pain.
First steps of treatment for spondylosis
Once a diagnosis of spondylosis is made, the physician will likely recommend that your condition be treated nonsurgically with exercise and stretching, as well as pain medication. For mild spondylosis, this will allow the spine to lengthen and the pressure to be relieved from the vertebrae, which will help your spine heal naturally. However, more severe cases of spondylosis may require a different form of treatment if pain relief is not experienced after several months.
If these nonsurgical treatment options prove ineffective against chronic pain, your physician may suggest surgery as an alternative. Before you make a decision, be sure to investigate all spondylosis surgical options thoroughly, including those offered at Laser Spine Institute.
At Laser Spine Institute, we offer several options for minimally invasive spine surgery that are safer and effective alternatives to traditional open back surgery^. As the leader in minimally invasive spine surgery, we boast a 98 patient satisfaction score^ for our minimally invasive procedures.
Contact Laser Spine Institute for information about our minimally invasive surgical procedures and for a review of your MRI or CT scan.

Aaron Woolf (D)
It's a tremendous honor to be running for United States Congress from our beautiful and diverse district and it is a particular honor to present my candidacy in this publication. The Valley News was a fixture in my childhood, and I have great memories of playing with my sister with the leftover newsprint rolls my mother collected at the Denton press in E'town.
We first came here as a family in 1968. Though my life as a filmmaker has taken me all around the world, Elizabethtown is the place to which I have always returned. For me, rebuilding our family home here after it was lost to fire was a commitment to making sure my family's future is here as well.
I am running to represent our New York 21st because I want to see our region thrive - and because I am deeply troubled by the course of our politics in Washington. At a time where public satisfaction in Congress is at an all-time low, we need citizen representatives unencumbered by the special interests in Washington, D.C. and untainted by the toxic partisanship in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Indeed we need someone in Washington who has been schooled in North Country pragmatism - a sense that we don't have to agree on everything with everyone in order to get things done. I've had my lessons in some of the community work I've done here working with diverse political interests, whether it was helping to form a policy recommendation that both saved our NYCO mining jobs in Lewis while improving and protecting our forest preserve, or building trails across the Champlain Valley to promote tourism and healthy living.
Of all these efforts, I am most proud of my role in creating the Go Digital or Go Dark campaign. The campaign helped save ten of our North Country movie theaters, leveraging local contributions to get low-interest loans and state grants. Thanks to this support, other shops on our Main Streets will thrive and we'll keep our community-building business anchors.
My top priority as Congressman will be to support opportunities for job growth across the district. I will fight to reform the tax system so billionaires no longer have lower tax rates than most middle class Americans. I will create incentives for farms and small businesses in the North Country to thrive and I will also expand internet and cell service access throughout the district so we can compete in the 21st Century economy. I'll work to provide loans to companies that bring their production facilities back to America and support eliminating tax breaks for companies that outsource jobs overseas - and I'll crack down on unfair trade practices by countries like China. And if elected, I will not accept taxpayer-funded Congressional perks because our Congressional representatives should live by the same rules as their constituents.
I also believe Social Security and Medicare are part of a sacred trust between citizens and our government. Working men and women paid into the system all their lives, and they deserve to know the program will be there for them in full when they retire. It's as simple as this: No cuts to Medicare, no cuts to Social Security.
And, as I look into my three year old daughter's eyes, I'm determined to build a world where women receive equal pay for equal work, where they never feel threatened on the street, in the workplace, or in the home, and where women have the freedom to make their own decisions regarding their body and health in consultation with their doctor and their families.
We must provide educational opportunities and training for women and men equally for 21st Century jobs, ensuring our daughters and sons possess the confidence and training they need to pursue their ambitions.
Let's make sure they can find opportunity here, in traditional trades like forestry or agriculture -- updated for today's economy as value-added products or sustainable biomass. Let's continue to encourage tech jobs and research around our first-rate universities and non-profits. And let's give all businesses the tools they need to thrive with cutting-edge transportation and electronic infrastructure and a tax system that benefits and does not burden growth.
It's great that my daughter got to see her first fireworks this summer on the same field where I saw them as a kid and that she's got a place to start pre-school here in the fall. But if she doesn't have a job here when she finishes school, we've failed in our mission.
I humbly ask for your support in this race for the open 21st Congressional District seat. For more information, please feel free to visit my website at www.woolfforcongress.com, follow me on Twitter at @WoolfforNY, like my Facebook page, and call my campaign at any time at 518 225-2532.
Editor's Note: This is the first of two columns submitted by candidates for the 21st Congressional District, the order of which was determined by random draw.

First off, Wonderful site. Lots of great information on here and I hope more to come in the future.
My first computer was a generic 386 that was my parents. They bought it back around '92 and I used it up until middle school when it died.
So I Learned DOS at an early age and wet my appetite for vintage computing and computing in general.
I started learning from the internet about computers whenever I could, but I soon discovered that there is a lot of bad/misleading information out there.
I wanted to learn how to do it right so I started from the beginning of computer history to figure out how to better understand computers in general.
It appears that this strategy worked, because computer repair and networking seem to come to me more easily than to other people i know.
I am now going to school to earn my associate degree in computer networking.
I took interest in the PCjr completely by chance, I found a few videos online about it and found fascinating.
I have had my Jr for 3 years now and I wanted to see what kind of interesting and enhanced things I could do with it that go far beyond the machines original intention.
My Jr specs:
MS-DOS 3.31- FAT16B Support (I am looking to purchase a JrIDE in the near future).
JrConfig 3.10
640K of RAM.
NEC V20 Upgrade
Power Sidecar
Bi-Directional Parallel port
Speech Attachment
3.5" Backpack Drive
Xircom Parallel NIC
I was a little surprised to discover that there was still a community out here for the Jr. My research revealed that there was once a thriving community even well into the late 1990's- Long after the Jr was discontinued.
Well I am glad to find that there is still a community about this little machine, And I hope I can be helpful to its efforts.

|AICOME / AICOCIM - Growth of the vision
Increased participation In World Evangelical events helped in renewed vision and inspiration and new efforts in evangelism. Congresses such as the Lausanne Congress, Berlin Congress 1966, and Asia Pacific Congress on Evangelism in Singapore, 1968 have had significant influence in the calling of an AICOME. Thus, the first AICOME was convened in January 4th - 8th 1970 as a mark of gratitude to God for his goodness in EFI's 20 years of ministry,
About 300 indigenous and predominantly lay and youth oriented participants gathered at Barnes School, Deolali near Nasik in Maharashtra, with the primary concern of motivating both co-operative and personal evangelism.
The second AICOME was held on 12th - 19th January 1977, again at Deolali, with about 400 participants from all over India and overseas observers. The papers, discussions, debates and prayer for the Congress began some two years earlier and Regional action groups were set up for follow-up.
A Deolali Continuation Committee was formed to inspire, stimulate, encourage and facilitate action at regional, local and individual levels, as well as to see the satisfactory conclusion of cooperative projects. Significant outcomes of the 1977 AICOME is the formation of India Mission Association (IMA) -with the purpose of bringing together The Indian Missionary Organizations under a national network for mutual help, co-operation and co-operate expression.
The third AICOME was held in Pune from 4 to 8 January 1988 at Union Biblical Seminary, with the theme "Into the Nineties with Christ." About 250 young leaders working at grassroot level met reviewing the past and identifying the challenges and task, of the Church in the coming years.
The evangelical leadership represented by EFI decided that an All India Congress on Church in Mission (AICOCIM) 1999 was necessary to evaluate the status of mission in our context and develop a common strategy in collaboration to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ. At the 4th and final congress of the last millennium, the emphasis was Church in Mission, a significant shift from specialist mission organisations to local church congregations, communities of faith, being directly involved in God's mission. About 450 church and mission agency leaders participated. The main objective was to review the past 10-50 years of the Church's mission in India, assess the present trends, with the expected outcome of a workable strategic plan for impacting India for Christ in the next millennium.
The focus was on partnership and networking in the process of transformational mission.
Two major outcomes of AICOCIM were the launching of an urban ministry initiative and an association Christians in the legal profession. The Evangelical Fellowship of India National Urban Network (EFINUN) and the Christian Legal Association (CLA). The EFINUN is mainly a facilitating body where members retain their identity and create a synergy as a Network. The CLA is a national network of Christians in the legal profession with a presence in 91 cities in 18 states. It is a full fletched registered body and has been growing with State Chapters and working on human rights issues with a special focus on religious freedom.

I've mentioned a few times previously, the importance of having a seamstress to assist when alterations are needed. I never mentioned how valuable of an asset they are when it comes to creating the perfect look from scratch.
Carolyn Jean Blue, the seamstress I met while working a fashion show back in April has been simply amazing. For the fashion show the designer gave the Carolyn "the blueprint" & she went to work bringing the vision to life.
I had the opportunity to model a boiler suit made by Carolyn Blue, which received raved reviews. It was made well, fit well & looked great on.
While loving the fit & Carolyn's workmanship, I had to connect with her off the runway. My wheels were turning; the ideas were floating everywhere in my head. With the different events I had planned & those not even planned yet, I was ready with a list of items I wanted her to create for me.
The first item Carolyn officially made for me was the dress (below), which I was able to wear to a co-worker's birthday celebration.
Needless to say, I love the dress & can't wait for the opportunity to wear it again. The dress was simply accessorized & worn with sandals. The next time it's worn I'll exaggerate the accessories.
If you're in need of seamstress, please contact:
Carolyn Blue at 770-905-3771 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com

Ethiopia group tours are perfectly suited to first-time travellers to the region, who would like to experience the highlights of the country in the company of like-minded travellers.
The only African country that has never
been colonised, Ethiopia is also unusual
for its rich Orthodox Christian heritage,
which was maintained even when all
its neighbours embraced Islam in...
We have highlighted the standard of accommodation featured on a tour immediately above the tour itinerary.
In some cases, tours include some departures in one category and some in another: you can see and select the different tour types under 'tour variations'. For these tours, the itinerary is generally the same and just the standard of accommodation varies. However, if there are any variations in the excursions included, these are shown within the itinerary.
Superior: Most Cox & Kings tours fall under this category and are based in 4- or 5-star accommodation, or the best available.
Luxury: These tours will usually feature 5-star de luxe accommodation throughout.
Standard: Simpler in emphasis, these itineraries typically feature 3- and 4-star accommodation throughout.
Discovery: This type of holiday is best suited to the hardier traveller, as it will typically include some quite basic accommodation, possibly longer and rougher road journeys and, in some cases, more arduous activities, such as trekking.

Students will:
1. Student reflection outlining expectations of health care, education, and relationships or a guided class or online discussion on expectations. Consider the following questions in initiating this exercise:
2. Utilize audience response questions to initiate a discussion on quality of life using the Dorothy's audience response file. This format will allow students to answer questions anonymously. The ethical perspective of the questions will likely allow for rich discussions. They can be easily converted into any audience technology available. The questions in this audience response activity are as follows:
a. Health
b. Family
c. Money
d. Mobility
"What is important to you?"
"Have you fallen in the past three months?"
"Do you want to live?"
"So you feel your heart skipping a beat?"
3. A concept map is a diagram that illustrates relationships between concepts. Assign a concept map to students after they listen to the monologue or have the students do a concept map as a group project in class/seminar, or as a post-conference activity. The example of the concept map is available in the download files section. This should be considered a draft. Have students start with this draft which uses decreased mobility as a concept and ask them to identify missing pieces and identify priorities of care while considering the essential nursing actions and essential knowledge domains.
4. Advanced Directives are written instructions regarding what actions an individual wants if they are unable to make decisions for themselves. In the monologue Dorothy talks about her expectations. Ask students to write their own advanced directives as an exercise to help raise their consciousness about quality of life issues and what measures they might want to sustain life in the face of illness or incapacity. This exercise lends itself to a discussion of their thoughts and decisions either in a verbal forum in person or an online forum in a discussion group.

We're back…after a long offseason, the staff is finally back to watching football, crunching numbers and giving you our opinions on all things Big Ten football.
It also means our weekly staff Power Poll is back as well.
This season we've got five staff members voting every week. That includes the following names:
Andy Coppens – @AndyOnFootball
Phil Harrison – @PhilHarrisonCFB
Philip Rossmann-Reich – @RiseNU
Dave Fitzgerald – @BuckeyeFitzy
Zach Worthington – @Worthyton
Normally the opening week of the season provides little in the way of knowledge, but that certainly wasn't the case in 2017. Dare we say the first week of action for the Big Ten was highly entertaining?
You can say that, and we did over at the #B1GRewind Show.
But, how did all of that excitement shake out when it came time to vote? Let's take a look at the official poll for Week 1:
Let's just say things were a bit wackier than usual, huh?
- Only three teams lost this week, yet it was a winner, Illinois, coming up dead last and it wasn't even close. The Illini's unimpressive three-point win was also our winner for "Disappointment of the Week" on the #B1GRewind show…so perhaps their last place finish in the power poll this week was really warranted. It also appears that hanging tough with ranked teams meant a lot to our voters.
- While the rest of the college football world is in love with Ohio State…our staff is much more in love with the Nittany Lions…well not "much more" but they won out with three first place votes and OSU falling outside the top two in one voters mind.
- It appears there is going to be an interesting battle for the middle of the pack over the next few weeks. Michigan State was No. 7 in this poll, but had just a three-point lead on No. 10 Nebraska. Let's just say the next few weeks should shake out the middle a bit more.
- Speaking of close fights…the battle between Michigan and Wisconsin for the third spot should be an interesting one indeed. Can Wisconsin's offense keep up the high-scoring and keep UW ahead or will Michigan's exciting youth movement grow up fast enough to challenge for the top of the East division and thus our poll as well?

So first off, I know what you're thinking: two posts in one day, is this girl crazy?! Yes, I am, but that's neither here nor there. I am here and you are there, so I figured I'd share with you my heres to entertain you over theres.
My last post was kind of brutal; very cynical and bitter and pretty much a downer to anyone pursuing a college education, and for that I am sorry (for you, not me, I stand by every word I said, er, typed).
But amidst the anger and frustration, I actually do believe a college education is a beautiful thing, and if I had an endless supply of green, I'd probably take classes forever (don't forget, the previous post was all about how MY college degree is worthless, but that doesn't mean I've completely given up on the institution as a whole, although it could definitely use some fine-tuning but that's chatter for another day, another blog post).
Moving on.
In between my bouts of giving up and feeling melodramatically melancholy, I am actually looking for a "real" job (still have yet to clearly define a job as being "real" so we will have to settle for the air quotes for now and call it a day). Having recently moved from sunny Florida to, er, sunny California (all that schooling and I can't find an adjective better than sunny? sigh), I'm basically in the midst of figuring out what I want to do with myself in my new state, figuratively and literally; I'm digging this state so far, great weather without the crappy Florida humidity, and the people are much more on my level than the general population of the Sunshine State (at least that time it wasn't my lack of clever descriptive words). Wait, so if Florida is the Sunshine State, what is California? Excuse me while I Google… ah, okay, the Golden State. Not that original, but none of them really are, now are they?
Getting back to the point. What's my point again? Is this why I can't find a job? Shit.
Okay, so job hunting. It's never really a fun thing and it can tend to become very frustrating, especially if you're currently unemployed and are becoming desperate, but just remember everyone, at some point in their lives, has been or will be where you currently are. Try to maintain a positive outlook and know that, eventually, you will find the right fit (and all those rejection letters that came before just weren't meant to be, no matter how badly you thought you wanted them). Here are a few tips to get you going in the right direction:
Edit your resume. Before you go sending your resume out to a bunch of potential new bossman bosses, take a quick scan over it to make sure everything on it is current, accurate and relevant. Did you move? Did you change your phone number? Even little things that seem as insignificant as that are important, so make sure all of your information is correct. Then, take a look at your work experience, education and even extracurriculars. It isn't necessary to have every job you ever had listed on there, but whoever's doing the hiring is going to want to see some relevant experience, so make sure that stuff's on there. If you don't have any relevant experience (if you're switching careers or fresh out of school), that's okay too. Make sure you show you have general work experience, that you know what it is to work hard and accentuate the skills you already possess in a way that makes them relevant to the position you're applying for. You will have to work a little harder to prove you can handle something you've never done before but it's not unheard of, so don't lose faith in yourself. Just remember, always be honest about what you've done and what you're capable of doing, even if it doesn't seem like it's enough. It's better to have a resume that's a little lighter, one that might not get you the interview, than to beef your resume up with lies and get called out on it later.
Set goals. It's important to give yourself something to work towards. It could be that you want to apply to a certain number of jobs a day; it could be you're holding out on quitting your current job until you find the right one, not just the next one. Whatever it is, have a goal(s) in mind to keep you motivated and positive. You'd be surprised how much stress is eliminated when you have a plan.
Be persistent. This is especially important if you're currently unemployed. It's important to remember that something will come along eventually; it may be when you least expect it, but if you remain active in the search, eventually something will come your way. After all, everything is a numbers game, and if you send out enough resumes, something is bound to come back. The hardest part isn't finding any ole job, it's waiting for the right one to present itself, but it's not going to unless you stay at it and remind yourself that there is a purpose to your search and you are accomplishing something just by looking and inquiring, even if at times you feel like you're getting nothing done. You are. Before you know it, you'll go on an interview or two (or three, no big deal how many it takes), and then you'll be getting ready for your first day in a new career.
When it comes to the actual interview, though, you're on your own. I come across much better on paper (I am skilled with the written word, after all) and tend to get really nervous during interviews (I think it's all the pressure to impress). All I can tell you is dress appropriately, be confident and be yourself. Talk about yourself in a positive, yet humble, way that lets your interviewer/potential new boss know that you have the skills and knowledge they're looking for and that you would be an asset to their team. Try not to be fake, because if they do hire you, you'll have to keep up that fake persona and that's just never a good idea. No one is better at being you than you, so I'd lead with that. Unless you're a serial rapist or an axe murderer, then I'd be someone else.

Meng Chee
Vice President, Product Management and User Experience, Samsung Mobile
Meng Chee showed his views on disruption and challenges of innovation processes in a global enterprise. He has 20 years experiences of global innovation for web, mobile and the Internet of things. His experience ranges from founding startups to international corporate innovation executive roles. He is an expert in combining business, technology and design to create new products or services. Moreover, he is experienced in leading global teams and advises disruptive startups.
It is challenging to get a group of people to agree on what is truly 'disruptive' and worth doing or investing in. Large or global enterprises impose a high overhead in communication and bureaucracy. This is distracting at best and can be demoralizing to a project team.
In any large organization, there is a high chance similar ideas are being pursued in other parts of the company. It is often challenging and time consuming to deal with these situations. It takes constant attention to focus a team on getting meaningful results quickly instead of spending too much time trying to align input from many stakeholders or adapt multiple local preferences.
Innovation to me means doing something truly disruptive or completely new and not incremental evolution of existing products or services. Doing so requires sudden leaps of insight and creativity within a group of people. Success is defined by the ability of the team to constantly adapt to changes and delivering high-quality results.
Planning is always a part of the definition and funding for any project, particularly for a large or global enterprise. This type of planning however is no measure of success and should be conducted with minimal effort. Global enterprises introduce an 'innovation tax' on internal teams resulting from multiple challenges of diverse markets and a large organization. Process and planning alone cannot address these challenges, as I believe innovation is more art than science.
Find a leader who can inspire and sustain a culture where each member of the team contributes their best where everyone on the team has a high degree of mutual trust, open expression, and cooperation. Utilize experience-driven processes like that described in the Stanford University Design School or at least enable the team to 'fail fast' as a positive outcome.
Focus on delivering a minimal set of end-user value propositions instead of a massive set of features. Optimize for speed instead and avoid rigidity resulting from too much risk management and controls.
Smart Home, Media services, Lifestyle services, and Sports experiences. I am also working on Internet of Things.
What would the Internet of Things look like to you in 5 years? What do you want in a Smart Home? What is different between the Silicon Valley ecosystem and the European startup ecosystems? And where are good cities to find great talent and establish innovation teams in Europe?

There are probably many myths about statistics, but there is one that I believe leads to the most frustration in researchers (and students) as they attempt to learn and apply statistics.
The Carpentry Class: A Fable
There was once a man who needed to build a house. He had a big pile of lumber, and he needed a place to live, so he thought he'd build one.
He realized that he did not have the knowledge and many skills needed to build a house.
So he did what any intelligent, well-educated person would do. He took a course: House Building 101. There was a lot of new jargon: trusses, plumb walls, 16" on center, cripple studs. It was hard to keep it all straight. It didn't make sense. Why would anyone ever need a header anyway?
But he made it through with a B+. He learned the basics. The doghouse he built in the lab was pretty straight. He even took another course to make sure he knew enough: Advanced Carpentry.
It was time for the man to build his house. He had his land, his plan, his tools, his piles of concrete, windows, lumber, and nails.
The first day he started with enthusiasm. He swung his hammer with gusto and nailed his first wall into place. It felt good.
But wait. His house was being built on a hill. The textbook only had flat land. How should he deal with hills? And this house has a bay window. His doghouse had only double hung windows. Doesn't a bay window stick out? And he was not sure which technique to use to make that 145 degree angle in the hall. The courses never mentioned anything but 90 degree angles. In class, they used circular saws. In order to install the trim he ordered, he needed to use a chop saw and a table saw. Even with the plans in front of him, there were so many decisions to make, so many new skills to learn.
And he was supposed to move into the house in 4 months when his lease ran out. He'd never get it done in time. Not on his own.
He sounds like a fool, doesn't he? No one could build a house after taking even a few courses.
Building a house requires the knowledge of how walls are constructed, the ability to use the tools, and the practical skills to implement the techniques.
The Statistics Myth: Having knowledge about statistics is the only thing necessary to practice statistics.
Yes, the knowledge is necessary, but it is not sufficient.
Statistics doesn't make sense to students because it is taught out of context. Most people don't really learn statistics until they start analyzing data in their own research. Yes, it makes those classes tough because students need to acquire the knowledge before they truly understand it.
The only way to learn how to build a house is to build one. The only way to learn how to analyze data is to analyze some.
But researchers (and house builders) need practical support as they learn. Yes, both could slug it out on their own, but it takes longer, is more frustrating, and leads to many more mistakes.
None of this is necessary. There can be a happy ending.
Carpenters work alongside a master to learn their craft. I have never heard of a statistician or a thesis advisor who sits next to a beginning researcher analyzing data. (Anyone who had an advisor like that should consider themself lucky). Unlike a novice carpenter, a novice data analyst is not helpful. They can't even hold the ladder.
More common are advisors who tell their students which statistics classes to take (again, if they're lucky) then send them off to analyze data. The student can ask questions as they go along if they are not too afraid to look stupid. Really good advisors are not too busy to answer in a timely manner and are willing to admit it if they don't know the answer.
But most researchers feel a bit lost. Not just new ones—many experienced researchers never really learned statistical practice very well in the first place. Nearly all researchers face new statistical challenges as their research progresses, and it's often difficult to find someone knowledgeable enough who is willing to and able explain it.
They are not lost because they are stupid.
They are not lost because statistics is beyond their capabilities.
They are not lost because they didn't do well in their statistics classes.
They are lost because they are leaning as they are doing, and anyone learning a practical skill needs timely, practical, accurate support to learn.
