Cloud computing is now being embraced by a majority of enterprises of all sizes. Yesterday's debate about public vs. private has transformed into the reality of hybrid cloud: a recent survey shows that 74% of enterprises have a hybrid cloud strategy. Meanwhile, 94% of enterprises are using some form of XaaS - software, platform, and infrastructure as a service.
With major technology companies and startups seriously embracing Cloud strategies, now is the perfect time to attend and learn what is going on, contribute to the discussions, and ensure that your enterprise is on the right path to Digital Transformation.
Every Global 2000 enterprise in the world is now integrating cloud computing in some form into its IT development and operations. Midsize and small businesses are also migrating to the cloud in increasing numbers.

It cannot be overseen or regulated by any one administrator, like a government or bank. Currently, there is no government regulation on them which also means there is no government safeguards over them.

Android 4.4 KitKat update for HTC One arriving within 90 days. Samsung Galaxy Nexus is too old to be updated
Android 4.4 KitKat has been officially announced today – alongside the LG Nexus 5 – which means that smartphone makers can start planning updates.
HTC is the first to provide a time frame for KitKat updates, saying that all versions of its One flagship would get the new iteration of Android in the next 90 days. The HTC One Google Play edition should be updated within 15 days, while the HTC One Developer Edition will receive the update within 30 days. There is no word on when HTC has scheduled updates for the One Mini and One Max.
Of course, Google's Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 will also get KitKat in the near future, namely "in the coming weeks." As for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, released back in November 2011, this will not be updated, remaining on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. According to Google (support page in Spanish), the reason for this is that the Galaxy Nexus is older than 18 months.
Other companies, including LG and Sony, will probably unveil their KitKat upgrade schedules pretty soon.

She Loves Me, He Loves Me Not by Zeenat Mahal
Zoella didn't know whether she was devastatingly happy or happily devastated.
Zoella has been in love with Fardeen Malik, her best friend's gorgeous older brother, since she was ten, but he's always seen her as a 'good girl'—not his type—and he can barely remember her name. Besides, he's engaged to a gorgeous leggy socialite, someone from the same rarefied social strata as the imposing Malik family. In short, Zoella has no chance with him.
Until a brutal accident leaves Fardeen scarred and disfigured, that is. Suddenly bereft of a fiancée, Fardeen is bitterly caustic, a shell of the man he used to be, a beast that has broken out of the fairy tale world he once lived in. And a twist of fate lands him his very own beauty—Zoella.
This man, however, is a far cry from the Fardeen of her dreams. Stripped of her illusions, Zoella creates her own twist in the fairy tale, beating him at his own game.
Zeenat Mahal explores themes of love, longing and arranged marriages in this modern, unusual interpretation of the old-age fairy tale.
I give this book 4 stars!
This book got me hooked me from the beginning, I loved all the characters but especially the two main characters Fardeen and Zoella and I loved the beauty and the beast theme.
I felt that Fardeen after the accident that disfigured him had changed him a lot and I liked Zoella and how strong she was despite everything that was happening between her and Fardeen.
I liked the marriage of convenience theme and how there was a bit of angst and betrayal here and there and I enjoyed reading from both their points of views.

One of the costliest mistakes senior leaders make is spending too much time IN the business instead of ON the business.
When senior leaders focus too much time on the technical and tactical aspects of the business, and playing the role of project managers, they fail to look at the strategic aspects of the business and the longer term plan.
This typically results in ambiguity of roles and responsibilities and a lack of alignment.
Answer the following questions:
- is your product road map shorter than 3-6 months?
- is the strategic planning process hap-hazard and often unintentional instead of planned and consistent each year?
- are performance reviews a once a year thing?
- does your executive team regularly miss their quarterly offsites that should be focused solely on planning and strategic team building?
If you answered yes to any of these issues, it's likely your senior leaders are focused too much IN the business and need to step back to work ON the business.

Helena Ben-Zenou will be teaching our Craft Sanctuary guests the wonderful art of Needlepoint Tapestry this May. We wanted to find out all about her and how she started POM POM.
Helena tells us more…
Although I started out as an artist and academic, I have always had a love of all things design, textiles, interiors, craft and in particular needlepoint-tapestry, both my grandmother and mother stitched and I was given kits as a child, so it has always been a bit special for me. I began by designing and making my own needlepoint-tapestry projects about 15 years ago, mainly making needlepoint versions of my paintings, which I would work on in the evenings at home just for my own relaxation and enjoyment of the stitching process.
After a while I thought how nice it would be to create some needlepoint cushions for my sofa, but really struggled to find contemporary designs that I liked. After a fruitless search I realised that if I wanted to stitch needlepoint projects which were also interesting to stitch and beautiful contemporary textile designs, I was going to have to design them myself! I also realised there was a really good chance there were lots of people like me, and so the idea of POMPOM Design was born…
Needlepoint (or tapestry as it is often known in the UK) is considered one of the oldest textile-based crafts. A form of thread embroidery it is worked by stitching yarn through a stiff open-weave mesh-like canvas to create a thick and luxurious textile. Unlike other forms of embroidery it does not embellish a fabric, but through the process of stitching through the canvas grid, the maker creates a completely new textile. The high quality of yarns and wide variety of colours available allows us to create vibrant, detailed and colourful designs that can be made up into cushions/pillows, upholstery, pictures and rugs.
I am very influenced by Modernist design and textiles from the 1920's through to the 1970's, and early Modernist avant-garde artists such as Sophie Taeuber Arp and Sonia Delaunay who have both created stunning visual art using needlepoint. I try and imbue our designs with a contemporary take on these Modern styles.
I love that needlepoint is adaptable, offering both contemplative and sociable crafting. We design our kits so that you can concentrate on them totally, think and dream, listen to music, the radio, audio books, or you can chat away as you stitch. You can dip in and out of your project for a long or short time. You can stitch on the train, plane, or the bus, in the garden or park, on the sofa, in bed, in your lunch break, in the evenings or during weekends and holidays. With our often fast-paced culture I also love that it is essentially a very simple and accessible craft that creates extremely long lasting and outstandingly beautiful results.
When I was asked to be part of the Craft Sanctuary weekend, I was really excited to have the opportunity to run a workshop based on our needlepoint-tapestry as part of such a lovely programme and environment. I have loads workshop experience, working with all ages, and in my previous existence was a Director of an undergraduate Fine Art programme. I love teaching, so it is great to be able to bring my love of craft and of teaching together!
Pompom Kits are available via our website pompomdesign.com, Etsy, and London department store Liberty. We also enjoy taking part in specialist fairs, pop-up shops and events that specialise in selling the work of designer-makers.
Helena Ben-Zenou is Founder/Director of contemporary needlepoint kit company POMPOM Design, more information and a range of contemporary kits can be found at pompomdesign.com
There is still time to sign up for our May event, for more info head over to the Craft Sanctuary page or contact the lovely Sheena from customer service on 01684 498031 or email email@example.com

Advantages of our special Direct mount chainrings:
*Finest design to provide excellent weight to strength ratio
* min 12% lighter over stock round chainring
*One of a kind special oval shape (Patent Pending)
*Greatly improves traction and climbing abilities
*Unique Patent Pending narrow-wide teeth profiles to keep your chain in place for minimum 12 months!
*Special 3D teeth machining for ultimate mud relief decrease wear and noise dramatically
*Superb quality and great look.
*You will ride faster using ovals. If you keep using round ring then others will get quicker.
*You will not "feel" the oval shape at all
*Reduces stress on knees
*We mastered our oval chainrings to perfection, so you can get best possible advantage from the oval/elliptical shape.
What size should I choose?
* 30T Oval chainring has an ovality of 28/32T and is best for someone who uses currently 29 or 30T round ring.
* 32T oval ring will suit best someone who uses 31 or 32T chainring currently. While pedaling, you will feel similar effort to the one riding round 31T ring, but you will gain the speed similar to riding 34T chainring.
Why our oval chainrings work
Our Oval chainrings work because a rider does not produce power evenly through a pedal stroke; they maximize the part of the stroke where power is produced and minimize resistance where it isn't. Oval rings make the spin cycle a lot smoother and are easier on legs while climbing. Believe it (or not), but a round chainring doesn't transfer torque to your rear wheel as smoothly as an Oval one. You will actually feel your stroke to be more "round" with an Oval shape than with a round chainring.
Why it matters
Traction, Traction and Traction. With oval rings rear tire traction improves greatly on loose and slippery terrain. Smoother power delivery to your rear wheel means that you will be able to maintain better, constant cadence; get less stress on the joints (knees) and therefore be able to keep certain level of effort for longer. This results in higher average speed. Moreover, 11 studies made by various Universities in the World show that using oval chainrings human legs utilize more muscle groups (compared to round one), but each of them to lesser degree. Load from pedaling an oval chainring is spread over greater muscle mass which in effect gives you the feeling of fresher and more relaxed legs. It is world's finest oval chainring backed by tens of thousands of customers.
How to mount E*thirteen Oval chainring:
Full instruction with photos can be found here:E*thirteen mounting instruction of a chainring
You will need E*Thirteen BB Install/Spider Removal Tool first. With this tool you need to simply open the lockring that holds the chainring on the crank. It's best to clamp that tool in a vice and Turn the crank counter-clockwise (looking from the top). Once the lockring is removed, take off old chainring and re-grease the splines on the crank. Place new oval chainring with convex side to the crank, but at the same time observing the small dimple (located next to spline interface) to be aligned with center of the crank arm. This is crucial to obtain correct chainring position. Now, place the lockring back. Since you will not be able to use torque tool, please do the following steps: Screw the lockring to the point where it starts to give you bigger resistance (as it touches the chainring now). From this point rotate the crank arm further by about 90 degrees. This will give you proper 30Nm locking force. Done
Oval (elliptical) chainring does not compromise the work of clutch mechanism in rear derailleur(video at the bottom). It also does not require chain tensioner when using in singlespeed application. These chainrings also help you to recover after knee injuries as pedaling becomes smoother and less exhausting. It is the most advanced oval chainring currently on the market.
If you wish to check for frame clearance with new oval ring, below you can find measurement of biggest dimension of the oval (tip to tip of tooth):
30T: 134mm ; 32T: 143mm
The importance of timing and shape with oval chainrings
The oval chainring movement across all cycling disciplines is growing rapidly, led by absoluteBLACK, the world leaders in this important product category.
However, not all oval chainrings share the same performance characteristics as absoluteBLACK. The 'clocking' (timing) and shape of the oval are the most crucial parts of any oval chainring design, absoluteBLACK spent three years in design development and have perfected both timing and shape design elements - ensuring the ride quality of absoluteBLACK oval ring will be different and superior to ovals from other brands (as many abosluteBLACK customers already realised).
Where most other brands retain the same timing (position of the crank arm relative to the oval) and shape of the oval across all their sizes - because it's cheaper and less time consuming. absoluteBLACK believe that each different size ring requires a bespoke, optimised, perfect pedalling solution. So that is what we do - for every chainring absoluteBLACK make. For example, the smaller the chainring size, the bigger the ovality has to be to help climb steeper hills more effectively. We keep our exact Patent Pending data a secret, to ensure we get the best possible absoluteBLACK advantage over other brands, and you get the best possible ride experience.
Our longterm belief in oval and development of our design, has led absoluteBLACK to become the most commercially successful oval chainring product in the world. So keep in mind that not every oval chainring is equal to an absoluteBLACK.absolute black chainring components on facebook

The much anticipated Kershaw Cryo assist knife with a G10 handle scale is finally here. Built just like the earlier Cryo knives, this Rick Hinderer classic opens fast and locks up tight via a sturdy framelock. The newest Cryo boasts a stonewash finished blade, a G10 handle scale on the front and a stainless steel back scale.

Once started, the assist mechanism takes charge and snaps the blade out with speed and authority. Lock up is very tight with absolutely no movement in the blade once open.
The handle has a G10 front scale. Jimping on the spine and inside edge of the handle create traction spots so you keep a solid grip on the handle even when bearing down on a cut. The black G10 front scale adds even more traction and makes for a solid grip no matter what the conditions–wet, slippery, cold, etc.

Marketing Healthcare to Women: Use of Social Media by US vs. UK
November 4, 2012 § Leave a comment
I am always surprised at how the UK surpasses the US in areas of advertising and social media. Here is an excellent example. Here's an excerpt of an infographic showing the relative use by hospitals in the Netherlands, United Kingdom and United States of Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Twitter. The compiler Tom van de Belt created the data by crawling through the websites of hospitals in the same way an interested patient might do so. This comes courtesy of a former hospital CEO Paul Levy who has had an active blog for several years.
Currently there are 1,229 hospitals using social media. That means that approximately 20% of the 5,754 U.S. hospitals are active in social media. But the numbers using Facebook are much smaller.

Green Sangha Chapter News
Teri Gerritz, mindful activist
Posted on October 23rd, 2015 12:14 pm
Teri Gerritz, Green Sangha member and group leader, has been hosting meetings and retreats at her home in Berkeley since 2010. An avid hiker, bicyclist, and world traveler, she has worked on political campaigns, habitat restoration, and plastics awareness. She spoke with board member Jonathan Billig on Wednesday, August 12, 2015.
JB: How did you discover Green Sangha and why were you drawn to it initially?
Teri: I heard about Green Sangha from a friend who lives in Marin. Compassionate action is what really drew me to Green Sangha. My mother was an activist, but she was always in tears about the state of the world, and I didn't want to be upset all the time as she was. I wanted to find a way to become involved that wouldn't take such a heavy toll on me.
JB: What are some of the things that you learned through your Green Sangha experiences?
Teri: Finding common ground with other people instead of focusing and playing up on the differences is very helpful, and Green Sangha has helped me with that. I have a good friend whose politics are very different from mine, and her husband has VERY different politics, yet I can find common ground with him. Before my time with Green Sangha, I'm not sure I could have done that.
One of the things that I learned was that you never make anyone else into the enemy. It's a matter of education, and we question ourselves and know that we might have something to learn, too. You can be a lot more effective if you hear where other people are coming from, and you might find a better entry point.
JB: What is your current involvement with Green Sangha?
Teri: The East Bay chapter meets at my house every month, even sometimes when I'm gone. I also work a lot of the events. Every meeting I provide the coffee and tea in my house and set up and clean up afterward. I also pay membership once a year.
JB: Are there any specific techniques that you have found useful?
Teri: Green Sangha gave me the meditation and the activism components of Buddhist practice. I did do a silent meditation retreat about ten years ago, but I had some trouble applying what I learned to everyday life because I wanted a more active process. Because of Green Sangha I have been involved with a regular meditation group, so the connections have been very helpful. I like Margaret Mead's idea, that change can be significant even if it seems small, and it has to start with you, not with other people.
JB: How is your experience with Green Sangha connected to the work you currently do?
Teri: Well, for one thing I really like the Green Sangha principles. They're on the wall in my office!
I work with an organization for retired teachers, and I've introduced some Green Sangha practices at the retired teachers meetings. I've found that the board meeting is more productive, calmer, and people listen to each other more after we do a simple body scan. At our most recent meeting, I led part of Jack Kornfield's forgiveness meditation. I also share mindfulness with some of my students, many of whom suffer from anxiety. It helps them a lot.
JB: Do you have any advice for mindful activists or social-change oriented educators like yourself?
Teri: It's easy to feel like we're not doing enough, and I try to remind myself that I'm doing what I can and that other people are doing what they can. Mainly it's Principle 5 from Green Sangha's list: we meet injustice without becoming lost in it. That sums it up. I just think it's a fun journey.
Also, I find that when you sit with other people it's more powerful than sitting alone. Even if they've never meditated before, there's something about the group energy. Something about being in that room together, and community – it's very powerful.
The real Columbus Day
Posted on October 12th, 2015 11:01 am
Each week, the Metta Center for Nonviolence sends out a daily "metta-gram" – a thought-provoking, heart-touching message connecting the life and thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi with issues of our day. Copied below is today's essay, reflecting on the real meaning, and the real potential, of Columbus Day.
You may recall that Berkeley, CA, became the first municipality to change the holiday to Indigenous Peoples' Day in 1992. South Dakota preceded even Berkeley, re-naming the second Monday of October "Native American Day." This year, Seattle and Minnesota joined the list of municipalities changing the designation of this holiday. Sixteen states do not recognize the holiday at all. In Arizona, we have one state legislator carrying the torch.
To get on the Daily Metta list, write to email@example.com.
"True economics stands for social justice."
–Gandhi (Harijan, October 9, 1937)
Columbus Day, a national holiday in the United States, seems to be a celebration of Christopher Columbus, the man, the adventurous, courageous Italian explorer who convinced the Spanish king to send him on a sea-mission. Though really, it is a subversive celebration – a condoning – of his actions, his violence, and his economics. More than an explorer, Columbus was something far more problematic, and even emblematic of modern culture: he was what we would call today an "economic hit man," opening an entire continent up for colonization.
Our national choice to uphold him as one of our "great people" only signals to us that we have yet to fully transform our consciousness around the need for ethics in economics. Is it any wonder the malls are packed with sales on this day? It's a day to celebrate stuff, meaningless material goods with little regard for those who made them, or are forced to sell them. But, here's the important piece: it's not enough for those of us committed to nonviolence to stop with such a negative analysis. Our goal must be to understand why he was who he was and what we might do differently.
I wonder what would have transpired in world history, our collective legacy, had Columbus refused to dehumanize those whom he encountered in his travels. What would have been different if instead of a mission acting as a gateway to colonization, he spearheaded a goodwill mission for mutual interdependence and knowledge sharing?
But no one taught or trained Sir Columbus in nonviolence. No one gave him the insight that to be "manly" and brave meant anything else besides violence and dominance. No one helped him to understand that there was no such thing as cultural inferiority. He had only been taught that his identity was superior. If Columbus had learnt these lessons before taking off across the ocean, perhaps a holiday in his name would be worth celebrating. For now, let's use the day to do better by those around us.
Experiment in Nonviolence:
What can we do differently today that would help to transform the values upheld by celebrating Columbus Day?

The Nexus 7 is really the first worthy opponent to the iPad that I've seen, even though the playing field is still uneven.
Watch the Nexus 7 Quick Unboxing video review now!
We just got our 8GB Nexus 7 in the other day and did a Nexus 7 quick unboxing to show off this thin Android device, sporting the latest Android OS 4.1 Jelly Bean. My initial take is that this tablet is surprisingly very nice, even though it is on the Android OS. The Android OS is not as good as Apple's iOS for gaming at this point, but it is continuing to get better.
Once I got going with the Nexus 7, playing Asphalt 7: Heat, it played awesomely, sporting killer graphics and game speed. The size of the Nexus 7 was perfect and I actually found I played better than I did when playing on the iPad. Turns were easier to make with the smaller device and I could actually see the track in front of me, which is harder on my iPhone or Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The Nexus 7 is perfect for briefcases, purses, portfolio, and may even fit in a suit jacket interior pocket. The device sports a Quad Core Tegra 3 processor, 180×800 HD display, 1GB RAM, and we opted for the 8GB internal storage model (see full specs below).
The Nexus 7 gets a big CrazyMikesapps thumbs up, watch the video and you will want one of these awesomely affordable tablets!

Winter 2013: Chris Hendricks '07 on overcoming adversity
Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a young age, Chris Hendricks '07 was once told he would never walk. With a guitar in his hands and a message in his heart, he defies those odds every day.
By Emma Jones
Survival is a word Chris Hendricks knows well. As a child, Hendricks underwent a series of treatments and surgeries related to his cerebral palsy. He frequently needed a wheelchair and in high school weighed less than 90 pounds.
He endured physical and verbal taunts from other students and still bears a scar underneath his chin, a wound opened three times by school bullies. Persistently ignored, harassed or underestimated, Hendricks spent most of his high school years very much alone.
"I could see in the eyes of the people around me that they were afraid of me," he says, rubbing the scar. "But when I got picked on or beat up, it was a form of attention. At least someone acknowledged my existence that day."
Read the full version of the story here.
Though his music reflects his life – his battles and Herculean efforts to overcome them are apparent in his lyrics – singing wasn't enough for Hendricks. He began to see instances of bullying in the news, stories about teenagers committing suicide after intense verbal and physical abuse by peers.
Then bullying became a buzzword.
"It's like the adults woke up one day and said, 'Hey! Bullying is happening! That's bad! We need to fix that!'" he shakes his head and says quietly, "But I can tell you from experience that it's been happening for a long, long time."
Wanting to do something about it, Hendricks started the Breaking Down Barriers program, which keeps the band busy with a packed schedule of events like the one at St. Mary's School. They are reaching hundreds of elementary to high school students through a series of in-school presentations that weave performances of Hendricks' pop-rockalternative music into an intensely personal delivery of his anti-bullying message.
Hendricks doesn't walk into a room full of kids and tell them not to bully each other, though. His delivery is much more nuanced. For him, it's about encouraging students to find their own passion and drive. Hendricks found his through music. "It took me a really long time to figure out that I mattered … that I mattered whether the people around me wanted me to or not," he says.

How to Overcome an Abusive Marriage:
Why Do People Who Love Each Other Fight So Much?
Dear Dr. Harley,
My husband and I have been married for almost 2 years and we have been having our share of problems. Sometimes I wonder if all the fights we have are my fault or do we share the responsibility of the fights occurring. I also wonder are we fighting so much because we got married at such a young age and we never went to marriage counseling before we got married. The main thing I want to know is why do married people argue so much if they love each other.
Dear C.S.,
Fights are so common in marriage, that some marriage counselors think that they are something couples should try to get used to. But my experience tells me that fights are very destructive to marriages and they prevent a couple from enjoying their marriage to the fullest. Anyone who suggests that fights can help a marriage is seriously mistaken.
Unfortunately, most premarital counseling does not warn couples about the disaster of fighting. Instead, it usually focuses attention on less important issues as personality compatibility and similarities of interests. Those issues have little to do with marital happiness. It is how couples solve problems that determines their love for each other and the quality of their marriage.
Fights represent a flawed attempt to solve a problem. They begin with a conflict between a husband and wife. Instead of negotiating for a fair resolution, one spouse tries to force a solution onto the other. Anger, disrespect and demands make the effort unsafe and unpleasant. Fights usually make the effort to solve the problem fail.
When couples are first married, they usually do not know how to negotiate fairly. Even when they are taught, it doesn't seem natural at first. That's because the most common states of mind in marriage make negotiation almost impossible.
There are three different states of mind people have when they are married. First, the State of Intimacy, is a feeling of wanting to do anything the other person wants. Requests are rarely denied. This state of mind is guided by the Giver that is in each of us, and uses the rule, "do whatever it takes to make the other person happy, and avoid anything to make the other person unhappy, even if it makes me unhappy." The State of Intimacy encourages us to give unconditionally, asking for nothing in return. Obviously, when you or your husband are in the state of intimacy, no fights are possible, because you are willing to give each other anything.
The second state of mind is the State of Conflict, which is a feeling that you've given quite enough and now its time to take. This state of mind is guided by the Taker who lives in all of us, and who has a very different rule than the Giver. The Taker's rule is "do whatever it takes to make me happy, and avoid anything to make me unhappy, even if it makes others unhappy." That's the rule that is responsible for all of your arguments and fights. When both your Taker and your husband's Taker go at it at the same time, each of you is trying to get something whether the other person likes it or not. That's what a fight is all about.
But there is also a third state of mind in marriage. It's the State of Withdrawal, where your Taker has decided that arguing is pointless, and decides to stop trying to get anything from your spouse. You raise defensive barriers to stop the pain that comes from fights, and you decide that you won't give your spouse anything nor expect anything from your spouse. It's emotional divorce.
In every marriage, people experience all three states of mind in their efforts to resolve conflicts. But none of the possible states of mind lead to a negotiated settlement. The first state of mind, intimacy, encourages us to give away the store. The second, conflict, encourages us to rob the store. And the third, withdrawal, wants nothing to do with the store at all.
What I propose to you is that you override your instincts in all three states of mind, and learn to negotiate correctly, regardless of how you feel. If you do that it will lead to a resolution of conflicts that is based on true negotiation -- where both you and your husband will be happy with the outcome.
Set a new goal whenever you and your spouse have a conflict. That goal is the Policy of Joint Agreement (never do anything without an enthusiastic agreement between you and your spouse). It means that you will work toward a resolution that takes the feelings of both of you into account simultaneously. Even if you are in the state of intimacy, where you are willing to give your spouse anything, you won't decide on what to do until you can both be enthusiastic about the decision. In the state of conflict, the policy won't let you argue, because arguing never leads to an enthusiastic agreement. Only respect and thoughtfulness can help you reach that goal.
If you use the Policy of Joint Agreement to resolve conflicts, and avoid Love Busters (selfish demands, disrespectful judgments and angry outbursts) you will rarely find yourselves in the state of withdrawal. It's fights that get people into withdrawal, and the policy will keep you out of fights.
All of this is described in my book, Fall in Love, Stay in Love. It shows you how to resolve all of your conflicts without arguing or fighting. And the solutions are good ones, because each choice you make will take both of you into account at the same time. It's the way all marriages must be if you want your love for each other to hold up over time.
You ask the very important question, "Why do people that love each other fight so much?" The instincts we have in the three states of mind are part of the answer. Our instincts encourage us to fight. But people who love each other and fight, don't love each other very long. The fighting itself causes them to lose their love for each other.
If you and your husband can stop fighting now, and start solving your problems without arguing, you will grow old together loving each other.

Lakeshore Shakespeare Festival Presents Superb 'Twelfth Night' Free in Oakland: By BECKY O'MALLEY
There's still time to catch one of the very best cheap theater events in the East Bay this weekend. The San Francisco Shakespeare Festival has two remaining performances of Twelfth Night as its Free Shakespeare in the Park production in Oakland's Lakeside Park, on the shores of Lake Merritt. It's a rollicking comic tale of mistaken identity and misplaced love.
Free Shakespeare in the Park can always command the services of the Bay Area's finest actors because they love the chance to do Shakespeare. This year's festival features several experienced actors from the 2002 and 2003 seasons: Alexandra Matthew as Viola, Stephen Klum as Feste, Julian Lopez-Morillas as Sir Toby Belch, Alex Moggridge as Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Christina Vecchiato as Fabian, and Jack Powell as Malvolio. Newcomers include Joe Wyka as Orsino, Mia Tagano as Olivia, Michael Craig Storm as Sebastian, and Andrew Harkins as Antonio. Music is provided by a three-piece on-stage ensemble, including sax, guitar, and piano.
Seeing Julian Lopez-Morillas in the rich character role of the roguish Sir Toby is an experience not to be missed. He was one of the founding members of the Berkeley Shakespeare Festival, which had fifteen splendid summer seasons at John Hinkel Park before moving to the 'burbs and becoming the more pretentious (though not necessarily better) California Shakespeare Festival. Over the last 20 years or more, Lopez-Morillas has routinely gotten rave reviews for appearances with all of the best theater companies in the Bay Area and throughout the state. He now teaches acting and directing—in between gigs—at San Jose State, so making time to work with Free Shakespeare is a real labor of love for him.
The stage area is a lawn near the park's wildlife sanctuary. It can be reached via Bellevue Avenue, off Grand Avenue. AC Transit buses No. 58 and No. 12 come close, as does BART at the 19th Street station. Bring a blanket to sit on, and picnic food and drink if you want. Hats and/or sunscreen are optional but strongly recommended. Oh, and the actors will pass the hat, so you really should bring some money, if you can afford it. Maybe what you spent on your last movie…
The performances this weekend are Saturday, Aug. 28, and Sunday, Aug. 29, at 4 p.m. If you miss these, you can still catch the September performances in San Francisco at the Presidio, on the Main Post Lawn, from Sept. 4-26, Saturdays, Sundays, and on Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 6), all at 7:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.sfshakes.org, or call the information line at (415) 865-4434.

Engine oil additives minimize engine wear by providing a protective chemical coating between an engine's movable parts. A common anti-wear additive used in the automotive industry is called zinc dialkyldithiophosphate, or ZDDP.
Motor oils typically contain performance chemical additives to provide added protection, enhance the efficiency and prolong the service life of motor engines. The ZDDP additive lessens damage to the pistons that constantly grind against their cylinder walls at tremendous speeds.
As of 2015, a detailed account regarding the exact mechanism of how ZDDP works is still lacking. However, improvements in nanotechnology helped determine that ZDDP is converted into a "tribofilm" that coats and sticks to the metal surfaces of the engine to reduce wear, based on a study conducted by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and ExxonMobil. The mechanism is said to occur at the atomic level.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Carol Lentini has cooked for rock bands at Madison Square Garden, been a croupier on a cruise ship, catered for hundreds at Fairfield's Burr Mansion and bopped around Europe in a cooking career that has spanned 27 years.
But the woman who wowed Fairfield County taste buds through her popular Along Came Carol catering business has set her sites on a new venture — an intimate, boutique dining experience she dubbed The Nook.
"I'm all about making people happy through food," said Lentini, who opened the space to private parties until now. "It's been a best-kept secret. Now I want everyone to experience it."
Tucked next to her commercial kitchen in a storefront in the city's Black Rock neighborhood, The Nook is a cozy dining space showcasing Lentini's flair for splashes of bold color and flea-market finds.
At the center are long tables that welcome friends and strangers for a Fridays-only communal dinner. The brainchild of Lentini and her husband/partner Mark Mojcher, The Nook aims to offer a casual, fun evening.
The menu changes each week and usually reflects the seasons and holidays. The "Sunday Supper" menu includes rigatoni with slow-cooked sauce and dollops of fresh ricotta, chicken piccata and freshly baked focaccia, while the "Fruit D'Mare" menu features mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp and mild white fish in a savory sauce and chocolate-dipped mini-creampuffs.
All meals come with appetizers and a four-course meal served family style.
The room can hold 22 comfortably, but Lentini said she prefers smaller groups of adventurous eaters who enjoy meeting new people. Reservation requests come from couples, friends, solo diners and groups.
"I feel like I've come home, kind of back to basics," she said of the experience. "I usually know my customers, and, if I don't know them, I get to know them."
The Nook seems a natural pairing for Lentini, a Fairfield native who started her eclectic career path studying art and design at the Museum School of Fine Arts in Boston. She studied textile and graphic design at both the Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons School of Design, before heading off to Europe.
"I had the travel bug," said Lentini, who paid for her wanderlust with kitchen jobs. "I peeled so many potatoes in France!"
Lentini's travels — she often visits siblings in France, Italy and Thailand — inform her food, according to Dede Traynor of Fairfield, who booked The Nook for her book group recently.
"Her food is delicious," she said. "And it just seems like a nice way to get together."
The Nook is located at 2984 Fairfield Ave., Bridgeport. For more information, visit the website.

cn|2 Poll shows how Republican tickets start out in matchup against Beshear-Abramson
Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear and his running mate, former Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson, start with large leads over two GOP tickets but polled below the 50% threshold against the front-running Republican slate, the cn|2 Poll shows.
Beshear and Abramson received support from 48.4% of the 804 likely voters when compared to the Republican ticket of David Williams — the Republican Senate president from Burkesville — and Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer.
The Williams-Farmer ticket received 37.6% of support, while another 14.1% were either unsure or refused to answer.
Those two so far have raised the most money and begin with more name recognition in the three-way Republican primary for the gubernatorial nomination.
The poll also showed Beshear and Abramson with a nearly 25-point lead over the GOP slate of Louisville businessman Phil Moffett and state Rep. Mike Harmon of Boyle County. And the Democratic ticket polled 26 points ahead of the Republican slate of Jefferson County Clerk Bobbie Holsclaw and Navy veteran Bill Vermillion.
The cn|2 Poll was conducted Feb. 28 and March 1 by live interviewers from Braun Research of New Jersey. The survey includes responses from 804 voters most likely to cast ballots in the November general election. It has a margin of error of 3.5 points.
You can find details of the poll's methodology, results and crosstabs here:
statewide ballot 3-2-11.pdf [625.62KB]
Beshear and Abramson polled 7 points ahead of Williams and Farmer last fall, according to cn|2 Poll results from September 2. . The Democratic slate polled at 44% while Williams and Farmer received 37.7% of support at the time. But the pool of respondents was different in that poll. That survey was taken of voters who said they were likely to vote in the 2010 elections.
In response to the most recent cn|2 Poll, Scott Jennings, campaign manager for Williams and Farmer said the number Kentuckians are "really worried about is the unemployment rate, which has nearly doubled since Beshear took office and is now over 10%."
"We are confident that Kentuckians don't want another four years of Beshear's inaction, incompetence, and inexcusable indifference when it comes to creating jobs," Jennings said.
He pointed to results from an internal campaign poll that showed Williams and Farmer within a point of Beshear and Abramson.
Beshear's campaign manager Bill Hyers issued the campaign's standard response to outside poll results:
"While the Governor is appreciative of the support of Kentuckians, he is not focused on this now – he is focused on the legislative session and working to create jobs around the state."
The poll showed Beshear and Abramson received 53.1% of support compared to 28.4% for Moffett and Harmon, while a combined 18.6% were unsure or refused to answer.
"The Tea Party will have plenty of time to take on Beshear's failures after Phil Moffett wins the primary," said Moffett's campaign manager David Adams.
Adams said the campaign is mostly focused on "educating voters about David Williams making himself a government pension millionaire while voting to increase our taxes and explode our state debt."
Adams added that the numbers show that the "ruling class politicians" can't shake Moffett and that "a lot will happen in the next ten weeks."
Holsclaw and Vermillion were the last ticket to get in the race and filed just before the deadline in late January. In a head-to-head matchup, Beshear and Abramson received 52.7% compared to 26.7% for Holsclaw and Vermillion. Another 20.6% weren't sure.
Holsclaw's campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Our ExpressPoll system gives election poll workers a simple-to-operate voter check-in device that improves the Election Day experience for voter and poll worker alike. Gone are the days of many external peripheral devices needed for check-in, signature pads and barcode readers are built right in to each tablet!
Read Microsoft's recent ExpressPoll Case Study below to see how this voter management solution makes check-in easier, faster and less expensive for jurisdictions of any size.
Election Systems & Software (ES&S) needed a new version of its ExpressPoll® Electronic Pollbook to market quickly. It ported its application to a Windows-based Toshiba tablet within 60 days, enabling the company to get a new product to market quickly and capture customer orders for thousands of new tablet-based pollbooks. Thanks to the easy-to-use Windows interface, poll workers reduce waiting times and increase voter information accuracy. And COTS hardware with built-in peripherals reduces device costs by a third.
Reduce cost of voting equipment
The 2000 United States presidential race ended in a swirl of controversy over who won the election due to problems with older punch-card voting systems. As a result, the US Congress passed the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, which infused US$3.2 billion into the election industry to fund new, more standardized voting technology.
Election Systems & Software (ES&S) of Omaha, Nebraska, a longtime provider of election management systems, watched demand for its electronic pollbooks and ballot marking devices rise steeply as states rushed to modernize their voting systems. The company's ExpressPoll Electronic Pollbook system, used to check-in voters at polling locations, was especially popular. The small digital system, based on the Windows CE operating system running on proprietary hardware, eliminated searches through thick paper voter registration logs and gave election workers a simple check-in device that reduced waiting time for voters and increased voter information accuracy.
Fast-forward to 2013: many of the systems purchased in 2002 needed to be replaced—only this time, there was no $3.2 billion federal outlay to pay the bills. "As we set out to redesign ExpressPoll, lowering costs for customers became our top design priority," says Ken Carbullido, Senior Vice President of Innovations at Election Systems & Software.
A key way to reduce costs was to switch from using proprietary hardware to consumer off-the-shelf (COTS) devices, and ES&S chose a low-priced Android-based device. However, the Android-based ExpressPoll was not as feature-rich as the original Windows CE–based device and didn't meet customer needs effectively. With demand for these electronic pollbooks growing, ES&S needed to find a new platform and fast.
Return to Windows
By 2014, prices on Windows-based hardware had dropped dramatically and, after surveying the field, ES&S chose the Toshiba Encore 2 tablet running the Windows 8.1 Professional operating system. The 10-inch Toshiba Encore 2 tablet is powered by the quad-core Intel® Atom™ processor, which provides speed, long battery life, and cost efficiency.
Switching back to Windows was an easy choice for us," Carbullido says. "With Windows 8.1, we get a number of benefits, including stability, robust support for peripherals, and the ability to lock down the device. The overall solution is extremely cost-competitive, especially because we can take advantage of our existing application code base and pass those cost savings along to our customers.
Because the tablet is powered by Windows 8.1, ES&S was able to port its ExpressPoll application to the new tablet in fewer than 60 days and get a new version of the product to market quickly.
Increase poll worker and voter satisfaction
With a Windows-based device, poll workers have an intuitive, easy-to-understand interface that's similar to the other devices they use in their personal lives. Also, the Toshiba Encore 2 contains lots of built-in extras that eliminate the need for the many peripherals that poll workers contended with. The workers previously had to juggle and plug in barcode readers, signature pads, and other accessories to their ExpressPoll systems to capture voter identification (such as driver's licenses) and signatures.
By using the Toshiba tablet's built-in signature pad, barcode reader, and camera, workers can capture everything that they need using just one device, with no clutter or cables. Easier use contributes to faster voter check-in and more accurate voter registration data. Plus, because the Toshiba device is so small and versatile, election workers can swivel it around to face voters, capturing signatures and scanning identification. This contributes to greater voter transparency.
"We took advantage of the rich capabilities of Windows and its ability to support a port of our application quickly to a new device, which enabled us to provide reliable and ready ExpressPoll systems in a strong, growing market," says Kathy Rogers, Senior Vice President of Government Relations at Election Systems & Software. "Our new solution is both easy to use and affordable for our customers."
Morrow County, Ohio, uses the ExpressPoll system and appreciates the simplicity and intuitiveness of the device.
There was a lot of positive feedback from poll workers as they were trained on the ExpressPoll tablet," says John Stinehelfer, Morrow County, Ohio, Election IT Specialist. "They loved it and didn't have any questions during the class. It's so intuitive that they could follow along with my training presentation and showed understanding immediately. When poll workers use it, calls from them to the election office on Election Day decrease. It gives the poll workers access to the database we have here in the office, and all the tools and info that they need right at their fingertips. They solve problems in real time with it. They can send a voter to the right polling site, give them a provisional ballot, you name it. Election Day is always a long day and we want it to run smoothly. The ExpressPoll helps with that.
Diminish cost of elections, expand innovation
Carbullido says that the built-in extras in the Toshiba tablet significantly reduce the cost of the newest ExpressPoll system. "Every peripheral adds another $100 to $200 to the price of our solution. By switching back to Windows and making the most of the Toshiba device's inherent capabilities, we reduce the cost of each unit by a third."
The Toshiba tablet also allows election officials to provide brief training videos on topics such as how to handle nonstandard voting procedures, placing them conveniently on the ExpressPoll home screen.
"Voters are very familiar with mobile devices and expect modern capabilities in their interactions with government," says Rogers. "With our new Windows-based ExpressPoll system, we are meeting and exceeding their expectations."

Symptoms of shellfish allergy include swelling, itching, tingling in the mouth, wheezing and abdominal pain, states Mayo Clinic. Medical attention is necessary for such symptoms, which occur when the body's immune system reacts to proteins in shellfish, such as crab, oysters and shrimp.
Other shellfish allergy symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, lightheadedness, difficulty breathing and hives, according to Mayo Clinic. The symptoms may occur a few minutes after eating the marine animals or up too an hour later. Anaphylaxis, a life-endangering allergic reaction that requires immediate medical care, may occur after eating shellfish. Symptoms include shock that occurs along with serious hypotension, breathing problems that result from airway constriction, dizziness, unconsciousness and fast heart rhythm.
A family history of any type of allergy is a risk factor for shellfish allergy, reports Mayo Clinic. Adult females and young males have high chances of developing the condition. A physical examination, blood tests and skin tests can help determine the exact cause and best treatment for the allergy.
Individuals with shellfish allergy should avoid the animals and related products, according to Mayo Clinic. Antihistamines and other medications may help relieve symptoms, such as itching. Carrying an epinephrine injector at all times is helpful for patients who suffer from anaphylaxis. Avoiding shellfish processing areas and reading food labels before purchasing foods may help prevent the problem.
