Through our fourteen years of practical experience, we have developed a proven methodology for the introduction and integration of complex business IT systems and processes. Building on our experience, our customers can be confident we will carry out any work they commission as quickly and efficiently as possible. We take pride in minimizing disruption to our customers at each stage of a project's implementation, enabling them to benefit from improved IT architecture in the shortest possible time and with a minimum of fuss. We believe that good communications between ourselves and our customers is essential to success. To facilitate this, we have developed a six-stage approach to project delivery.
Stage 1: Project scoping
First we discuss your IT requirements in depth, including time-frames for implementation, costing and budgets. We then conduct an initial survey, followed up with a detailed project plan together with all relevant documentation (ie schedule of works, technical specification, itemized quotation, risk assessment and contractual terms and conditions).
Stage 2: Modeling
We carry out extensive modeling exercises in order to explore every permutation of the proposed system. This enables us to build in additional functionality where desirable, as well as identifying and correcting shortcomings ahead of real-world implementation. We also conduct exhaustive road-testing to ensure the system is fit-for-purpose. An added advantage is the ability to demonstrate how the new system will operate within your organization and how it will help you boost productivity and competitiveness.
Stage 3: Design
Working closely with your in-house IT personnel, we put forward company-specific IT and software design proposals. To speed up delivery, we provide separate designs for each element of the business process ie warehousing, customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning etc
Stage 4: Development
We build the software according to the agreed specifications, ensuring it is fully tailored to the needs of your business. In addition, we draw up a full technical manual, including step-by-step descriptions of how to adjust the software, if necessary.
Stage 5: Implementation
We take all possible steps to ensure your new software is installed as quickly and easily as possible, with a minimum of disruption to your ongoing operations. We automate worksites and import data from existing systems. We also provide training for your employees and operate an early warning system to identify any problems and rectify them as quickly as possible.
Stage 6: Support
To ensure your system continues to operate as well as it should, we provide system maintenance and on-going software upgrades as standard ie to meet any changes to the business environment either internal or external. Our staff will remain available to provide a comprehensive on-going maintenance and support service, co-operating with your own IT personnel as necessary.

The 'Cool Smile' outdoor hats provide outdoorsmen and heat-suffering individuals a high-tech means of staying cool under the sun.
Most outdoor hats are designed nowadays to simply provide an aesthetic purpose and aren't capable of providing protection from the heat. The Cool Smile hat is a device that that cools the wearer's head with the use of a thermoelectric cooler to keep the wearer's head cold and dry. The cooling process is done by transferring the heat of the wearer's forehead to the aluminum case on the hat. The outdoor hat runs on one AA battery to operate function, which makes it convenient to use.
The Cool Smile hat is the ideal hat for any outdoorsman.

Keeping Track of My Word Count
After last month's extravaganza of writing, I have decided that keeping track of my daily word count and how many words I have left until I reach my goal helps me stay on track. In the past I have just written whatever amount of words whenever I felt like writing. I usually did not force myself to write when I was not in the mood, nor did I ever reach the word count goals I had set out for myself. And I have decided that this needs to stop!
After Camp NaNoWriMo ended and I was leaving my writing graph behind, my husband happened to ask me what kind of app he should program for fun. He was talking about an intercom type thing for our computers so we could just press a button and talk to one another from computer to computer, which is a great idea, but I interjected with an idea of my own. Why not make an app that has similar functionality as the NaNoWriMo graph, so that I can keep track all year round and not just in November or the Camp NaNo months?
Needless to say, he thought it was a great idea and started working on it right away. After about a week of obsessively working on the app in between work and other ordinary life events, my husband finished the app! It works great and I've only found one thing that I want to be fixed. (I can't just press enter on my keyboard to update my current word count. I have to use my mouse! That extra second it takes could be spent writing!)
Now that my graph is up and running (which he aptly named "BegallieWriMo"), I have set my word count goal at 30,000 words to be completed by September 2nd since I head back to school on the 3rd. I haven't written very much yet (as you can see in the screen shot), but – according to the app – I have to write 1071 words per day for the next 28 days. I'm confident I can do it. I reached my goal for Camp NaNo after all, so what's another 30,000 words?

Bloke Snapped Driving A Stripped Out Car With No Seats
Just a rolled up mattress instead
A bloke's been picked up by Queensland Police, allegedly sitting on a rolled up mattress to drive a car with no seats.
Police say it all happened in the suburb of Drayton on Monday afternoon.. the 30 year old bloke, who's already disqualified from driving, was stopped just after 4pm.
It didn't take long for the arresting officer to notice the guy, and his female passenger, were perched on rolled up mattresses. In fact, the car had no front seats at all!
The car was taken to an impound yard, while the driver was charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and driving of a vehicle without a licence.

Ethical considerations
28th February 2014
The Editorial Board of Annals of Surgical Hepatology strictly adheres to the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals developed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
The ethical principles that guide the work of the editors and the Editorial Board, their relationships with the authors, subscribers, readers, sponsors, and regulatory authorities have been formulated based on the above document available on the website of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors www.icmje.org. Certain provisions of the Journal's ethical rules are based on the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics meeting the SCOPUS requirements.
All the participants of the process of publication of research results (the authors, reviewers, editors, members of the Editorial Board, and the entire journal staff) as well as individual persons and organizations that may be interested in the information provided by the Journal are expected to follow its ethical principles.
General duties and responsibilities of Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Staff
The Editor-in-chief of the journal is the person responsible for its entire content.
He or she:
• strives to meet the needs of readers and authors;
• constantly improves the journal;
• ensures the quality of the material they publish;
• champions freedom of expression;
• maintains the integrity of the academic record;
• precludes business needs from compromising intellectual standards;
• always is willing to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when needed.
Owners and Editor-in-chief of the journal have a common endeavor—publication of a reliable, readable journal produced with due respect for the stated aims of the journal and for costs. Owners and Editor-in-chief, however, have different functions. Owners have the right to appoint and dismiss Editor-in-chief and to make important business decisions in which editors should be involved to the fullest extent possible. Editor-in-chief has full authority for determining the editorial content of the journal. The concept of editorial freedom is resolutely defended by Editor-in-chief even to the extent of placing his/her positions at stake. To secure this freedom in practice, the Editor-in-chief has direct access to the highest level of ownership, not to a delegated manager.
Editor-in-chief of the journal has a contract that clearly states his/her rights and duties, the general terms of the appointment, and the mechanisms for resolving conflicts.
The journal has an independent editorial advisory board to help the Editor establish and maintain editorial policy.
Editorial Freedom. The relationship of Editor-in-chief and editorial staff to publishers and owners is based firmly on the principle of Editorial freedom (independence). That means that editorial staff has full authority over the editorial content of their journal and the timing of publication of that content. Journal owners should not interfere in the evaluation, selection, or editing of individual articles either directly or by creating an environment that strongly influences decisions. Journal owners should not require editorial staff to publish supplements as part of their contractual agreements. Editorial staff bases decisions on the validity of the work and its importance to the journal's readers, not on the commercial success of the journal. Editor is free to express critical but responsible views about all aspects of medicine without fear of retribution, even if these views conflict with the commercial goals of the publisher.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff have to take all reasonable steps to ensure the quality of the material they publish, recognising that journals and sections within journals will have different aims and standards.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff decisions to accept or reject a paper for publication is based only on the paper's importance, originality, and clarity, and the study's relevance to the remit of the journal.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff publish guidance to authors and peer-reviewers on everything that is expected of them. This guidance is regularly updated.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff don't reverse decisions to accept submissions unless serious problems are identified with the submission.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff ensure that peer reviewers' identities are protected.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff ensure that material submitted to their journal remains confidential while under review.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff respond promptly to complaints and ensure there is a way for dissatisfied complainants to take complaints further.
Cogent criticisms of published work will be published unless Editor-in-chief and editorial staff have convincing reasons why they cannot be. Authors of criticised material should be given the opportunity to respond.
Studies that challenge previous work published in the journal are given an especially sympathetic hearing. Studies reporting negative results are not excluded.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff ensure that research material they publish conforms to internationally accepted ethical guidelines.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff seek assurances that all research has been approved by an appropriate body (e.g. research ethics committee, institutional review board). However, Editor-in-chief and editorial staff recognise that such approval does not guarantee that the research is ethical.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff protect the confidentiality of individual information (e.g. that obtained through the doctor–patient relationship).
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff have a duty to act if they suspect misconduct. This duty extends to both published and unpublished papers.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff don't simply reject papers that raise concerns about possible misconduct. They are ethically obliged to pursue alleged cases.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff first seek a response from those accused. If they are not satisfied with the response, they should ask the relevant employers or some appropriate body (perhaps a regulatory body) to investigate.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff make all reasonable efforts to ensure that a proper investigation is conducted; if this does not happen, Editors should make all reasonable attempts to persist in obtaining a resolution to the problem. Whenever it is recognised that a significant inaccuracy, misleading statement or distorted report has been published, it must be corrected promptly and with due prominence.
If, after an appropriate investigation, an item proves to be fraudulent, it should be retracted. The retraction should be clearly identifiable to readers and indexing systems.
Notwithstanding the economic and political realities of their journals, Editor-in-chief and editorial staff make decisions on which articles to publish based on quality and suitability for readers rather than for immediate financial gain.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff managing their own conflicts of interest as well as those of authors, reviewers and Editorial board members.
Ethical Considerations in the Conduct and Reporting of Research: Authorship and Contributorship
An "author" is someone who has made substantive intellectual contributions to a published study. An author must take responsibility for at least one component of the work, must be able to identify who is responsible for each other component, and should ideally be confident in their co-authors' ability and integrity. The exact contributions of each person named as having participated in a submitted study, at least for original research, has to be identified and published.
Authorship credit should be based on:
1) substantial contributions to conception and design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data;
2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content;
3) final approval of the version to be published.
When a large, multicenter group has conducted the work, the group has to identify the individuals who accept direct responsibility for the manuscript. These individuals should fully meet the criteria for authorship/contributorship defined above, and editorial staff will ask these individuals to complete journal-specific author and conflict-of-interest disclosure forms. When submitting a manuscript authored by a group, the corresponding author should clearly indicate the preferred citation and identify all individual authors as well as the group name. Other members of the group should be listed in the Acknowledgments.
Acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of the research group alone does not constitute authorship.
All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship, and all those who qualify should be listed.
Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content.
The group should jointly make decisions about contributors/authors before submitting the manuscript for publication. The corresponding author/guarantor should be prepared to explain the presence and order of these individuals.
All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an acknowledgments (Выражение признательности) section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who has helped with study design, data collection, data analysis, or manuscript preparation, provided purely technical help, writing assistance, or a department chairperson who provided only general support. Financial and material support should also be acknowledged.
Peer Review
Peer review is the critical assessment of manuscripts submitted to journal by experts who are not part of the editorial staff. Peer review helps editors decide which manuscripts are suitable for their journals and helps authors and editors to improve the quality of reporting. The journal submits most of published research articles for outside review by anonymous peer reviewers.
Manuscripts is reviewed with due respect for authors' confidentiality. Reviewers also have rights to confidentiality, which must be respected by the editor. Confidentiality may have to be breached if dishonesty or fraud is alleged but otherwise must be honored.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff don't disclose information about manuscripts (including their receipt, content, status in the reviewing process, criticism by reviewers, or ultimate fate) to anyone other than the authors and reviewers. This includes requests to use the materials for legal proceedings.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff make clear to their reviewers that manuscripts sent for review are privileged communications and are the private property of the authors. Therefore, reviewers and members of the editorial staff respect the authors' rights by not publicly discussing the authors' work or appropriating their ideas before the manuscript is published. Reviewers are not allowed to make copies of the manuscript for their files and prohibited from sharing it with others, except with the editor's permission. Reviewers must return or destroy copies of manuscripts after submitting reviews. Editor-in-chief and editorial staff don't keep copies of rejected manuscripts.
Reviewer comments don't publish or otherwise publicized without permission of the reviewer, author, and editor.
Conflicts of Interest
Conflict of interest exists when an author (or the author's institution), reviewer, or editor has financial or personal relationships that inappropriately influence (bias) his or her actions (such relationships are also known as dual commitments, competing interests, or competing loyalties). The potential for conflict of interest can exist regardless of whether an individual believes that the relationship affects his or her scientific judgment. Financial relationships (such as employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, and paid expert testimony) are the most easily identifiable conflicts of interest and the most likely to undermine the credibility of the journal, the authors, and of science itself. However, conflicts can occur for other reasons, such as personal relationships, academic competition, and intellectual passion.
All participants in the peer-review and publication process must disclose all relationships that could be viewed as potential conflicts of interest. Such relationships is also have to be disclosed with editorials and review articles. Editor-in-chief and editorial staff may use information disclosed in conflict-of-interest and financial-interest statements as a basis for editorial decisions. Editor-in-chief and editorial staff publish this information if they believe it is important in judging the manuscript.
Potential Conflicts of Interest Related to Individual Authors' Commitments.
When authors submit a manuscript, whether an article or a letter, they are responsible for disclosing all financial and personal relationships that might bias their work. To prevent ambiguity, authors must state explicitly whether potential conflicts do or do not exist. Authors should do so in the manuscript on a conflict-of-interest notification page, providing additional detail, if necessary, in a cover letter that accompanies the manuscript.
Authors should identify individuals who provide writing or other assistance and disclose the funding source for this assistance.
Investigators must disclose potential conflicts to study participants and should state in the manuscript whether they have done so.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff also decide whether to publish information disclosed by authors about potential conflicts. If doubt exists, it is best to err on the side of publication.
Potential Conflicts of Interest Related to Project Support
If individual study receive funding from commercial firms, private foundations, and government then authors must describe the role of the study sponsor, if any, in study design; collection, analysis, and interpretation of data; writing the report; and the decision to submit the report for publication. If the supporting source had no such involvement, the authors should so state.
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff may request that authors of a study funded by an agency with a proprietary or financial interest in the outcome sign a statement, such as "I had full access to all of the data in this study and I take complete responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of the data analysis." Editor-in-chief and editorial staff encourage reviewing copies of the protocol and/or contracts associated with project-specific studies before accepting such studies for publication. Editor-in-chief and editorial staff may request a statistical analysis of all data by an independent biostatistician. Editors may choose not to consider an article if a sponsor has asserted control over the authors' right to publish.
Potential Conflicts of Interest Related to Commitments of Editor-in-chief, Editorial Staff, or Reviewers
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff avoid selecting external peer reviewers with obvious potential conflicts of interest–for example, those who work in the same department or institution as any of the authors. Authors may provide Editor-in-chief and editorial staff with the names of persons they feel should not be asked to review a manuscript because of potential, usually professional, conflicts of interest. When possible, authors should be asked to explain or justify their concerns; that information is important to editors in deciding whether to honor such requests.
Reviewers must disclose to Editor-in-chief and editorial staff any conflicts of interest that could bias their opinions of the manuscript, and they should recuse themselves from reviewing specific manuscripts if the potential for bias exists. Reviewers must not use knowledge of the work, before its publication, to further their own interests.
Editor-in-chief making final decisions about manuscripts must have no personal, professional, or financial involvement in any of the issues they might judge. Other members of the editorial staff, if they participate in editorial decisions, must provide Editor-in-chief with a current description of their financial interests (as they might relate to editorial judgments) and recuse themselves from any decisions in which a conflict of interest exists. Editorial staff must not use information gained through working with manuscripts for private gain.
Privacy and Confidentiality Patients and Study Participants
Patients have a right to privacy that should not be violated without informed consent. Identifying information, including names, initials, or hospital numbers, must not be published in written descriptions, photographs, or pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires that an identifiable patient be shown the manuscript to be published. Authors should disclose to these patients whether any potential identifiable material might be available via the Internet as well as in print after publication. Patient consent should be written and archived with the authors who have to provide the journal with a written statement that attests that they have received and archived written patient consent.
Nonessential identifying details should be omitted. Informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt that anonymity can be maintained. For example, masking the eye region in photographs of patients is inadequate protection of anonymity. If identifying characteristics are altered to protect anonymity, such as in genetic pedigrees, authors should provide assurance, and editors should so note, that such alterations do not distort scientific meaning.
The requirement for informed consent is included in the journal's Instructions for Authors. When informed consent has been obtained, it should be indicated in the published article.
Protection of Human Subjects and Animals in Research
When reporting experiments on human subjects, authors must indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2008. If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach and demonstrate that the institutional review body explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study. When reporting experiments on animals, authors have to indicate whether the institutional and national guide for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.
Obligation to Publish Negative Studies
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff seriously consider for publication any carefully done study of an important question, relevant to their readers, whether the results for the primary or any additional outcome are statistically significant. Failure to submit or publish findings because of lack of statistical significance is an important cause of publication bias.
Corrections, Retractions and "Expressions of Concern"
Editor-in-chief and editorial staff assume initially that authors are reporting work based on honest observations. Nevertheless, two types of difficulty may arise. Errors may be noted in published articles that require the publication of a correction or erratum on part of the work. The corrections appear on a numbered page, be listed in the Table of Contents, include the complete original citation, and link to the original article and vice versa if online. It is conceivable that an error could be so serious as to vitiate the entire body of the work, but this is unlikely and should be addressed by editors and authors on an individual basis. Such an error should not be confused with inadequacies exposed by the emergence of new scientific information in the normal course of research. The latter requires no corrections or withdrawals.
If substantial doubt arises about the honesty or integrity of work, either submitted or published, it is the editorial staff's responsibility to ensure that the question is appropriately pursued, usually by the authors' sponsoring institution. Ordinarily, it is not the responsibility of the editor to conduct a full investigation or to make a determination—that responsibility lies with the institution where the work was done or with the funding agency. The editor should be promptly informed of the final decision, and if a fraudulent paper has been published, the journal must print a retraction. If this method of investigation does not result in a satisfactory conclusion, the editor may choose to conduct his or her own investigation. As an alternative to retraction, the editor may choose to publish an expression of concern about aspects of the conduct or integrity of the work.
The retraction or expression of concern, so labeled, appear on a numbered page in a prominent section of the print journal as well as in the online version, be listed in the Table of Contents page, and include in its heading the title of the original article. The first author of the retraction should be the same as that of the article, although under certain circumstances the editor may accept retractions by other responsible persons. The text of the retraction should explain why the article is being retracted and include a complete citation reference to that article.
The validity of previous work by the author of a fraudulent paper cannot be assumed. Editor-in-chief and editorial staff may ask the author's institution to assure them of the validity of earlier work published in their journals or to retract it. If this is not done, Editor-in-chief and Editorial Board may choose to publish an announcement expressing concern that the validity of previously published work is uncertain.
Overlapping Publications / Duplicate Submission
The journal will not consider manuscripts that are simultaneously being considered by other journals.
The journal do not receive papers on work that has already been reported in large part in a published article or is contained in another paper that has been submitted or accepted for publication elsewhere, in print or in electronic media.
When submitting a paper, the author must always make a complete statement to the editor about all submissions and previous reports (including meeting presentations and posting of results in registries) that might be regarded as redundant or duplicate publication. The author must alert the editor if the manuscript includes subjects about which the authors have published a previous report or have submitted a related report to another publication. Any such report must be referred to and referenced in the new paper. Copies of such material should be included with the submitted manuscript to help the Editor-in-chief and editorial staff decide how to handle the matter.
If redundant or duplicate publication is attempted or occurs without such notification, authors should expect editorial action to be taken. At the least, prompt rejection of the submitted manuscript should be expected. If the Editor-in-chief and editorial staff were not aware of the violations and the article has already been published, then a notice of redundant or duplicate publication will probably be published with or without the author's explanation or approval.
Preliminary reporting to public media, governmental agencies, or manufacturers of scientific information described in a paper or a letter to the editor that has been accepted but not yet published may be warranted when the paper or letter describes major therapeutic advances or public health hazards, such as serious adverse effects of drugs, vaccines, other biological products, medicinal devices, or reportable diseases. This reporting should not jeopardize publication, but should be discussed with and agreed upon by the editor in advance.
Acceptable Secondary Publication
Certain types of articles, such as guidelines produced by governmental agencies and professional organizations, may need to reach the widest possible audience. In such instances, the journal publishes material that is also being published in other journals, with the agreement of the authors and the editors of those journals. Secondary publication for various other reasons, in the same or another language, especially in other countries, is justifiable and can be beneficial provided that the following conditions are met:
1. The authors have received approval from the editors of both journals.
2. The paper for secondary publication is intended for a different group of readers; an abbreviated version could be sufficient.
3. The secondary version faithfully reflects the data and interpretations of the primary version.
4. The footnote on the title page of the secondary version informs readers, peers, and documenting agencies that the paper has been published in whole or in part and states the primary reference.
Permission for such secondary publication should be free of charge.
5. The title of the secondary publication should indicate that it is a secondary publication (complete republication, abridged republication, complete translation, or abridged translation) of a primary publication.
Competing Manuscripts Based on the Same Study
Publication of manuscripts to air the disputes of co-investigators may waste journal space and confuse readers. On the other hand, if editors knowingly publish a manuscript written by only some of a collaborating team, they could be denying the rest of the team their legitimate co-authorship rights and journal readers access to legitimate differences of opinion about the interpretation of a study.
Two kinds of competing submissions are considered: submissions by coworkers who disagree on the analysis and interpretation of their study, and submissions by coworkers who disagree on what the facts are and which data should be reported.
Setting aside the unresolved question of ownership of the data, the following general observations may help editors and others address such problems.
Differences in Analysis or Interpretation
If the dispute centers on the analysis or interpretation of data, the authors should submit a manuscript that clearly presents both versions. The difference of opinion should be explained in a cover letter. The normal process of peer and editorial review may help the authors to resolve their disagreement regarding analysis or interpretation.
If the dispute cannot be resolved and the study merits publication, both versions will be published with editor's statement outlining the disagreement and the journal's involvement in attempts to resolve it.
Differences in Reported Methods or Results
If the dispute centers on differing opinions of what was actually done or observed during the study, the Editor-in-chief and editorial staff refuse publication until the disagreement is resolved. If there are allegations of dishonesty or fraud, editors should inform the appropriate authorities; authors should be notified of an editor's intention to report a suspicion of research misconduct.
Supplements, Theme Issues, and Special Series
Supplements are collections of papers that deal with related issues or topics, are published as a separate issue of the journal or as part of a regular issue, and are usually funded by sources other than the journal's publisher. Because funding sources can bias the content of supplements through the choice of topics and viewpoints, journal adopts the following principles.
1. The Editor-in-chief and editorial staff is given and take full responsibility for the policies, practices, and content of supplements, including complete control of the decision to select authors, peer reviewers, and content for the supplement. Editing by the funding organization is not permitted.
2. The Editor-in-chief and editorial staff retain the authority to send supplement manuscripts for external peer review and to reject manuscripts submitted for the supplement.
3. The Editor-in-chief and editorial staff approve the appointment of any external editor of the supplement and take responsibility for the work of the external editor.
4. The source of the idea for the supplement, sources of funding for the research, publication, and products of the funding source that are considered in the supplement will be clearly stated and prominently located in the supplement, preferably on each page. Whenever possible, supplements should be funded by more than one sponsor.
5. Advertising in supplements should follow the same policies as those of the rest of the journal.
6. Editor-in-chief and editorial staff enable readers to distinguish readily between ordinary editorial pages and supplement pages.
7. Journal editors and supplement editors don't accept personal favors or remuneration from sponsors of supplements.
8. Secondary publication in supplements (republication of papers published elsewhere) will be clearly identified by the citation of the original paper.

RESEARCH IN NURSING AND HEALTH, vol. 19, n° 4, 1996, pages 261-271, réf. 2p., ISSN 0160-6891, USA
In spite of extensive research on cancer and the family, little is known about the process of taking on the caregiving role when a family member is diagnosed with cancer.
Family caregiver role acquisition was investigated in a grounded theory study of 19 family caregivers and 20 persons with cancer, interviewed across the course of chemotherapy.
The initial analysis revealed that caregiving could not be understood in isolation from self-care in this sample and a reconceptualization of the target phenomenon was needed.
Accordingly, the concept of family-based illness care was developed to encompass both self-care and caregiving.
Twelve dimensions of family-based illness care and three prototypical patterns of illness care involvement were identified.
Patterns of involvement fluctuated over time, a phenomenon labeled shifting patterns of self-care and caregiving.
Shifting patterns of self-care and caregiving was so characteristic of illness care during chemotherapy that it became the core concept of the grounded theory.
This conceptualization emphasizes the dyadic nature of family-based illness care during chemotherapy.

Bronx prosecutors today abruptly dropped the top two charges against a man injured when an cop rammed into his dirtbike during a chase.
Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Brandler said the office is dropping reckless endangerment and resisting arrest charges against Adalberto Gonzalez.
The news came days after video surfaced showing that Police Officer Eddie McClain twice rammed the dirtbike riders.
McClain first knocked Eddie Gonzalez, 28, off his bike. The rider then jumped on the back of Fernandez's bike before McClain rammed them both, slamming them into a pole, the video showed.
Adalberto Gonzalez's lawyer scoffed at the move and said his client planned to fight the remaining traffic violations.
"This is a thinly-veiled attempt to escape the one thing that is painfully obvious: that they killed Eddie Fernandez," said Cesar Gonzalez. "They're not doing it to be nice to my client. They're doing it to prevent a Bronx jury from seeing what the cops did to my client."

How to Fry Boiled Chicken
Though boiled chicken is safe to eat as long as it's cooked thoroughly, frying the chicken before you serve it will add flavor and a crunchy texture. Because the chicken is already cooked, it's a fast process to fry it, making it easy to get a quick meal on the table. It also ensures that the chicken is cooked all the way through. Serve it with nutritious side dishes, such as baked potatoes or steamed squash, and you'll have a tasty meal in a short amount of time.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Pour cooking oil into a deep skillet or an electric skillet. Turn the heat to medium high and heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2
Dump a cup or two of flour onto a plate. Add dried herbs and seasonings, such as black pepper, onion powder or paprika. Plan on about 1 cup of flour for 4 boneless chicken breasts. While the oil is heating, stir the flour and seasonings with a fork until everything is well blended.
Step 3
Crack 2 or 3 eggs onto a separate plate for every 4 boneless chicken breasts. Gently beat the eggs with a fork.
Step 4
Pick up a piece of boiled chicken using a pair of tongs and dip it in the beaten eggs until it's well coated on all sides.
Step 5
Roll the egg-coated chicken breast in the flour mixture until it's evenly coated on all sides.
Step 6
Transfer the battered chicken to the hot oil using a pair of tongs. Do this so that your hand and arm are farther away from the hot oil, which can splatter as you add the chicken.
Step 7
Repeat the battering process with the remaining pieces of boiled chicken, adding them to the hot oil as you go.
Step 8
Cover the skillet and allow the chicken to cook for 3 or 4 minutes, or until the battered coating has become crisp and turned golden brown.
Step 9
Flip each piece of chicken using a pair of tongs. Cover the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, or until the second side is crisp and golden brown. Since the chicken is already boiled, you don't need to worry about cooking it all the way through.
Step 10
Remove the chicken from the skillet using a pair of tongs. Drain the chicken on paper towels before serving it. This soaks up a bit of the cooking oil, which reduces the overall fat content of the fried chicken.

Special Seder Messages for Passover
Tikkun's supplement to the traditional Passover Seder Haggadah is not just for Jews—it will move spiritual progressives both secular and religious. Please feel free to read it and make copies of it for your own use! As we've said in Tikkun many times, the particularism of Judaism is a universalist message, albeit one that has been hard for many Jews to hold on to through thousands of years of being subject to abuse, and our Seder Haggadah supplement explores that irony. So check it out at tikkun.org/passover.
Below you can read writings by three spiritual progressives—Jonathan Granoff, Shari Motro, and Rabbi Arthur Waskow (one of the most creative thinkers in the Jewish Renewal movement)—who further elaborate on universal messages emerging from specifically Jewish customs and practices.
Passover and Liberation Theology
by Jonathan Granoff
There is a dynamic relationship between identity, community, and grace-awakened values, which, if they are authentic, are universal and without regard to nation, tribe, gender, race, or religion. In other words, God's love is for all, wisdom is without prejudice, and justice properly wears a blindfold when she weighs deeds. The Passover moment is as an example of how the specific group in which one lives can and should be used to expand one's circle of compassion. Tribalism is a distortion of God's grace. The expanded heart alone is capable of knowing a reflection of the Unlimited Heart of God's love for all.
Being Jewish and being part of the Jewish community can be a blessing or a curse. If being part of a community helps develop compassion for others, a sense of being loved, and expands one's capacity to serve others, then it is surely a blessing to be in such a community. If being anything increases one's capacity to experience God's qualities and to share them then that too is a blessing. If being part of anything gives one a sense of arrogance then developing wisdom will be thwarted and authentic understanding of one's relationship to God as well as one's fellow human beings will he occluded. Liberation from any identity that separates one from one's fellow human beings and God is necessary for authentic peace. Commitment to caring for others is a prerequisite for spiritual and psychological growth. Whatever identity one receives from birth or choice will have value based on these principles.
Rights, rituals and practices can deepen one's sense of gratitude and appreciation for all lives.
For example, Passover can be experienced as liberation theology at its best. It is about social justice, freedom from slavery, crime and punishment, patience and fortitude, courage and God's grace. It is also about overcoming the Pharaoh of egoism with faith. It is a multilevel source of inspiration for those who participate in its dimensions of family, community, teaching, and eating.
It is for many an affirmation of the intervention in history of God on behalf of a people God protected and to whom He revealed Himself. It can awaken gratitude for being a descendent of those people and not being a slave today. It can create a sense of duty to help free others. It can inspire to uplift us to a clearer awareness of the presence of the sacred. It can help us remember God.
It can create a distorted sense of identity. It can make one think that based on blood one is closer to God than others. One might ask: Is being a Jew a necessary part of being close to God? Only a fool would think so. One might also ask: Does being Jew distance oneself form God. Only a fool would think that. So, if you are a fool, stop reading, otherwise, join me in these reflections.
A heart filled with compassion and a life lived from that place of goodness where the presence of God is remembered will do just fine. So, then the question is what value is there in being part of a community, like a several thousand years history of stories about that community's relationship with the mystery of life we inadequately call God. It could be good and it could be bad.
Good includes being accountable to people who know and love you. Bad includes thinking that by virtue of being part of that community, or tribe, you are specially blessed and better than anyone else anywhere. Good includes gratitude for the teaching that God is with us and One with all. Bad if that teaching makes one feel different from any of God's other human creations.
Compassion does not have a boundary of blood, religion, race, caste or gender. It resonates like the circles from a pebble in a pond from the center of the heart where the intention to honor the lives of others and God's sacred gift awakens when the pebble of that purity descends into the human heart.
So, here are few thoughts for your thinking:
Why do we need a tribe when the message is love and unity with and for all? Is not our God the One God of the one human family and is not the calling of those who accept the calling to love and serve all? Of course, and is that realization not a liberation from the slavery of egoism formed of separation from the overwhelming blessing of the oneness of life's bounty? The ego mind that identifies with all that we cannot posses forgets what we can really receive, the radiance of the soul.
Crossing over the sea of blood ties into the open space of wisdom:
~And This Too~
love without action is
action without love is
love with action
each breath, deep love in action
each thought, deep love in action
each moment, deep love in action
Deep Awake
where gratitude lives,
salt changes to sugar
tears of sorrow, sadness and separation
changing to
tears of joy, love and union
a mere whisper of the grace of deep awake,
listen carefully
this whisper is a thunder of healing light
oh may God's resonance be known.
in love's way of peace

Thoughts on Passover
by Shari Motro
How does one leave home in peace?
Read metaphorically, the Exodus story—which Jews will retell during the upcoming Passover holiday—offers some clues to answering this most universal of questions.
Moses is born a Hebrew slave, but he is raised in Pharaoh's palace. The setup is an exaggerated version of something familiar to many—to anyone who has wondered whether some cosmic accident landed her with the wrong family; anyone who has felt uncomfortable about the privileges she accrued by virtue of her birth; anyone who at some point experienced her parents as oppressive or narrow. Egypt, in Hebrew, means "narrow place."
Moses' initial reaction is the classic teenage rebellion—it's rash, it's risky, and it gets him into deep trouble. After witnessing an Egyptian beating a Hebrew slave, Moses kills the Egyptian, buries him in the sand, and runs. He tries to disappear, to start over. In Midian, Moses marries a local and has a son who he names Gershom, Stranger ("For I was a stranger in a strange land," he says).
But running away doesn't work. At some point, those of us who leave unfinished business behind are called to return. For Moses, the call starts as a fire, a fire that burns but doesn't consume. The burning bush is a fire that can be neither put out nor ignored.
Moses goes home to face the conflict he ran from. His task is to negotiate, to mediate between the slaves and Pharaoh, both of whom symbolize aspects of every human soul. He will eventually leave again, but in a different way. Leaving home in peace requires acknowledging the naysaying voice within. Moses can't leave Egypt for good until his ability to dream his own future overwhelms his fear, until he stands before Pharaoh and speaks his truth.
Yes, I killed the Egyptian.
Yes, I've turned my back on you. Look, I'm not you. I'm a different person.
Yes, I want to leave.
Will you let me go?
Pharaoh says no, as parents do. Sometimes parents say no even when they know that eventually they will relent, that everybody will be better off when they do. Nevertheless, some inexplicable force compels them to dig in their heels, to wield their power while they still have it.
Of course, Pharaoh is an extreme example. This is the point of archetypal myths: they use extremes to illustrate lessons that apply to us all. Pharaoh symbolizes attachment—the eminently human tendency to resist change. The plagues are the suffering that results from attachment. Each plague is a message from Pharaoh's higher self, like a body that keeps getting sick until you listen to it.
For Moses, the message of the plagues may be this: Your blossoming into your most radiant self is not the true cause of suffering—Pharaoh's suffering, your own suffering, anybody's. The cause of suffering is resistance.
After the tenth and most devastating plague—the death of the firstborn—Pharaoh finally relents, and the Israelites leave "in haste." They leave so quickly they can't wait for their bread to rise; this is why we eat unleavened bread on Passover. What's the message here?
When the force holding you back finally relents—go. GO. Don't be scared; don't feel guilty; don't hang around saying long goodbyes. It's time.
And if Pharaoh follows at your heels and drowns in the pursuit, don't rejoice. According to one interpretation, this is what God said to the angels who sang as the Egyptian chariots were swallowed by the sea: "Don't rejoice, for they are my creatures too." And yet, the texts are also filled with the opposite, with joy.
Anyone who has succeeded in breaking free knows this tension well. Our glee is tinged with something else, with the sinking recognition that our naysayers' grief is our grief. And… surviving requires not allowing ourselves to drown in their tears. Surviving is rejoicing despite their pain.
Somehow, on the other side of it all, there is a place where all is forgiven, where the narrowness of our birth canal—every trauma, every grief—becomes a source of love and gratitude, where zero-sum gives way to abundance, where Pharaoh and Moses are one.
I've seen only glimpses of this place. For me, this is the Promised Land.

A Passover Reflection on the Charoset
by Rabbi Arthur Waskow
There it sits on the Seder plate: charoset, a delicious paste of chopped nuts, chopped fruits, spices, and wine.
So the question would seem obvious: "Why is there charoset on the Seder plate?"
That's the most secret Question at the Seder—so secret nobody even asks it. And it's got the most secret answer: none.
The Haggadah explains about matzah, the bread so dry it blocks your insides for a week.
The Haggadah explains about the horse-radish so bitter it blows the lid off your lungs and makes breathing so painful you wish you could just stop.
The Haggadah even explains about that scrawny chicken neck, or maybe the roasted beet, masquerading as a whole roast lamb.
But it never explains charoset.
Yes, there's an oral tradition. (Fitting for something that tastes so delicious!) You've probably heard somebody at a Seder claim that charoset is the mortar the ancient Israelite slaves had to paste between the bricks and stones of those giant warehouses they were building for Pharaoh.
But that's a cover story. Really dumb. You think that mortar was so sweet, so spicy, so delicious that every ancient Israelite just had to slaver some mortar on his tongue?
You think it wasn't leeks and onions they wailed for after they crossed the Sea of Blood, but the mortar they were pasting on their masters' mansions? You think they were whining, "Give me mortar or give me death?"
Forbid it, Almighty God!
OK, maybe it's a midrash? Those bitter-hearted rabbis, always fresh from some pogrom or exile, claiming that to the Israelites, slavery was sweet? So sweet that it reminds us that slavery may taste sweet, and this is itself a deeper kind of slavery?
No. The oral tradition transmitted by charoset is not by word of mouth but taste of mouth. A kiss of mouth. A full-bodied, full-tongued, "kisses sweeter than wine" taste of mouth.
Charoset is an embodiment of by far the earthiest, sexiest, kissyest, bodyest book of the Hebrew Bible —- the Song of Songs. Charoset is literally a full-bodied taste of the Song. The Song is the recipe for charoset.
You think they were going to tell you that when you were six years old, just learning how to stumble through "Mah nishtanah," the Four Questions? Or maybe when you were fourteen, just beginning to eye that good-looking cousin sitting right across the table?
Or maybe when you were thirty-four and they were all nagging you to settle down already, get married –– that's when you thought they might finally tell the truth about charoset?
Face it: They were never going to tell you.
Maybe, without ever asking or answering about charoset, they might mention something that seemed entirely different: that the olden rabbis thought the Song of Songs should be recited during the festival of Passover, but quickly they'd explain that what seems so erotic in the Song was really about God's loving effort to free the Israelites from Pharaoh.
And—especially important in our generation:
The Song is by far the likeliest candidate of all Biblical books to have been written, or collated, or edited, by a woman. A woman's experience is central to it.
AND—it is filled with love not only between human beings but between human beings and the Earth. The luscious tastes of fruit, nuts, spices, wine—are the delicious savors and flavors of the Earth.
Time to tell the passionate truth: The Song of Songs is the recipe for charoset, and charoset is the delicious embodiment of the Song.
Verses from the Song:
"Feed me with apples and with raisin-cakes;
"Your kisses are sweeter than wine;
"The scent of your breath is like apricots;
"Your cheeks are a bed of spices;
"The fig tree has ripened;
"Then I went down to the walnut grove."
There are several kinds of freedom that we celebrate on Pesach:
The freedom of people who rise up against Pharaoh, the tyrant.
The freedom of Earth, the flowers that rise up against winter.
The freedom of birth, of the lambs who trip and stagger in their skipping-over. passing-over dance called "pesach."
The freedom of sex, that rises up against the prunish and the prudish.
The text of the Song subtly, almost secretly, bears the recipe for charoset, and we might well see the absence of any specific written explanation of charoset as itself a subtle, secret pointer toward the "other" liberation of Pesach –- the erotic, Earth-loving freedom celebrated in the Song of Songs, which we are taught to read on Passover.
The Song of Songs is sacred not only to Jews, but also to Christians and to Muslims, and especially to the mystics in all three traditions. Its earth-and-human-loving erotic energy has swept away poets and rabbis, lovers and priests, dervishes and gardeners.
Yet this sacred power — "Love is strong as death," sings the Song — has frightened many generations into limiting its power. Redefining its flow as a highly structured allegory, or hiding it from the young, or forbidding it from being sung in public places.
Even so, long tradition holds that on the Shabbat in the middle of Passover, Jews chant the Song of Songs.
Why is this time of year set aside for this extraordinary love poem? At one level, because it celebrates the springtime rebirth of life.
And the parallel goes far deeper. For the Song celebrates a new way of living in the world.
The way of love between the earth and her human earthlings, beyond the future of conflict between them that accompanies the end of Eden.
The way of love between women and men, with women celebrated as leaders and initiators, beyond the future of subjugation that accompanies the end of Eden.
The way of bodies and sexuality celebrated, beyond the future of shame and guilt that accompanies the end of Eden.
The way of God so fully present in the whole of life that God needs no specific naming (for in the Song, God's name is never mentioned).
The way of adulthood, where there is no Parent and there are no children. No one is giving orders, and no one obeys them. Rather there are grownups, lovers — unlike the domination and submission that accompany the end of Eden.
In short, Eden for grown-ups. For a grown-up human race.
Whereas the original Garden was childhood, bliss that was unconscious, unaware, the Garden of the Song is maturity. Death is known, conflict is recognized (as when the heroine's brothers beat her up), yet joy sustains all.
So the "recipe" points us toward apples, quinces, raisins, apricots, figs, nuts, wine. Within the framework of the free fruitfulness of the earth, the "recipe" is free-form: no measures, no teaspoons, no amounts. Not even a requirement for apples rather than apricots, cinnamon rather than cloves, figs rather than dates. So there is an enormous breadth for the tastes that appeal to Jews from Spain, Poland, Iraq, India, America.
Nevertheless, I will offer a recipe.
Take a pound of raw shelled almonds, two pounds of organic raisins, and a bottle of red wine. On the side have organic apricots, chopped apples, figs, and dates (no pits), and small bottles of powdered cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Assemble either an electric blender, or your great-grandmom's cast-iron hand-wound gefulte-fish chopper brought from the Old Country. If it's the blender, put it on "chop" rather than "paste" frequency.
Start feeding the almonds and raisins into the blender or mixer, in judicious mixture. (How do you know "judicious"? Whatever doesn't get the whole thing stuck so it won't keep grinding.) Whenever you feel like it, pour in some wine to lubricate the action. Stop the action every once in a while to poke around and stir up the ingredients.
Freely choose when to add apricots, apples, figs, and/or dates. Taste every ten minutes or so. If you start feeling giddy, good!—that's the idea.
Add in the spices. Clove is powerful, sweet and subtly sharp at the same time; a lot will get you just on the edge of High.
Keep stirring, keep chopping, keep dribbling wine—not till the charoset turns to paste but till there are still nubs of nuts, grains of raisin, suddenly a dollop of apricot spurting on your tongue.
You say this doesn't seem like a recipe, too free? Ahh—as the Song itself says again and again, "Do not stir up love until it pleases. Do not rouse the lovers till they're willing."
Serve at the Pesach Seder, and also on the night when you first make love to a delicious partner. And on every wedding anniversary. And on the day when you and your friends decide to Move Our Money/Protect Our Planet—because the planet is not abstract and theoretical, but what we celebrate when we take charoset on our tongues.
Blessings of body and love, creative mind and spirit—
Rabbi Arthur Waskow

25 killed in spate of attacks on north Iraq police
A series of attacks against police in the disputed northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk on Thursday killed at least 25 people and wounded 79 others, the worst violence to hit the country in two weeks.world Updated: May 19, 2011 15:51 IST
A series of attacks against police in the disputed northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk on Thursday killed at least 25 people and wounded 79 others, the worst violence to hit the country in two weeks.
Three explosions -- two car bombs and a magnetic "sticky bomb" attached to a car -- occurred around one hour apart in the oil-rich ethnically-divided city, security officials said.
The first of the blasts occurred at 9:20 am (0620 GMT) when the "sticky bomb" exploded in the parking lot of the city's police headquarters, Major Salam Zangan said.
When police and emergency responders arrived at the scene shortly afterwards, a car bomb detonated.
"The explosions today killed 25 people and wounded 79 others," said Sadiq Omar Rasul, the director of Kirkuk's provincial health department. "The majority of the casualties were police."
Earlier, Zangan had put the toll at 18 dead and 70 wounded in two initial blasts, with a security official adding 14 others were wounded in a third car bomb.
The twin blasts caused massive damage to nearby police and civilian vehicles, and several police cars with loudspeakers affixed to them could be heard appealing to Kirkuk residents to make their way to the city's hospital to donate much-needed blood for victims, an AFP journalist said.
At around 10:30 am, another car bomb exploded near the convoy of a senior police official in Kirkuk, Colonel Aras Mohammed.
He and 13 of his bodyguards were wounded in the blast, which also caused serious damage to several nearby cars and buildings, a security official said, on condition of anonymity.
Kirkuk lies at the centre of a tract of disputed territory that is claimed by both Iraq's central government in Baghdad and Kurdish regional authorities in Arbil.
US officials have persistently said that the unresolved row is one of the biggest threats to Iraq's future stability.

How to Mimic Enterprise SEO Tools & Gain Actionable Insights
Enterprise SEO tools provide comprehensive site and competitor analysis. Services like seoClarity and BrightEdge provide incredible insight, but are also amazingly expensive. With a little manual effort and time you can create actionable reports at a fraction of the cost.
The power behind enterprise tools is the ability to combine the following:
- Site analytics
- Site information
- Rankings
- Links and social mentions
First think about the following scenario. When looking at analytics, you see a spike in traffic to a particular a page. Marked at the beginning of the upward trend you also see an annotation displaying the page title had been altered, resulting in the rise in traffic for that page.
Along with the trend of organic search traffic over time, enterprise tools annotate changes to a page, increases in links, and social mentions. These and other factors might contribute to the rise or fall of incoming traffic from search engines into an aesthetically pleasing and easy to use graphical interface. While it's nice to be spoon fed, it becomes more expensive with age and paying for access to enterprise tools is no exception.
Most analytics packages have the ability to annotate graphs to mark significant events. By manually pulling necessary information and adding annotations, you can mimic this functionality of enterprise tools.
Mentioned earlier was the notion that the power behind enterprise tools is way they combine site analytics with site information, rankings, links and social mentions. Most SEOs are already running similar reports manually, but there are a few interesting components to keep in mind in order to facilitate comprehensive and timely actionable insights.
Site Information
Site information refers to crawling a site for response codes and changes to elements of a page that are relevant to SEO. Page titles, descriptions, headings, canonicals, meta robots tags, etc.
Some enterprise SEO tools do this on a daily basis sending notifications of any major changes. By creating a spreadsheet of canonical URLs that are crawled consistently and combining those over time using something like VLOOKUP, this functionality can be mimicked.
While most SEOs say that rankings are not important, they are. Rankings can provide actionable insight into the assessment of a site's content, but it can be hard when a client decides to focus on particular rankings rather than the big picture.
Enterprise tools have enormous amounts of ranking data. This can provide insight into areas of opportunity and can help answer the question, "Where does the taxonomy of your site lack in targeting certain relevant keywords compared to your competitors?"
There are two ways of going about mimicking this functionality. The easy way is to subscribe to a service who already has the data like SEMRush. A more manual way is to use Google AdWords keyword tool to pull as many relevant keywords as possible, then check rankings using a rank checker tool. Sort by search volume, ascending keywords, or maybe ascending URLs and identify patterns and new found opportunities!
Links Social
Along with analytics programs, enterprise SEO tools integrate with several APIs. These are key when identifying new links and social mentions.
Not unlike using a third party service for ranking position information, services like MajesticSEO and Open Site Explorer are a must when researching large amounts of competitive linking data in an attempt to answer the question, "Where are my competitors getting links from? Can I get in on that?". Open Site Explorer also pulls in social mentions at a URL level, which is convenient.
Tip: When using third party services for linking information, keep in mind that new data is subject to updates. For example, Open Site Explorer data updates every month or so. A great way to find links in real time is to keep track of new referring domains on a page by page basis.
Using third party services seems to be a necessary expense when attempting to look at multiple backlink profiles, unless you're content with keeping track of new referring domains in analytics and manually checking for links.
Site Analytics
Once the reports have been pulled and the analysis has been made, it's time to get creative. The visualization of all the components is why companies spend the big bucks, but it's possible to create something similar that works for you.
If there's anything in particular you'd like to hear more about, let me know in the comments and I'll be happy to shout back.

12:52 Router Redundancy complete, 8 points
1:04 Multicast complete, 9 points
1:40 IPv6 addressing complete, 8 points
3:45 had to take a break at about 2:30 for some other commitments. Now I ran out of time. I was most of the way through ipv6 routing, so I'll give myself 6 of 9 points.
I'll do QoS in notepad by hand
3:57 QoS completed, 5 points
7 hours
97 points
The focus of this lab was obviously IPv6. I was disappointed I ran out of time because it was a pretty difficult IPv6 scenerio. I was picking things off one by one, just hadn't quite had it finished yet.
Interestingly, there was no ipv6 routing protocol running in between two ipv6 IGPs. I setup a tunnel to overcome this. The answers went with a default route and policy routing instead.

text: I wanted to see if anyone had a strange experience with a drink that was supposed to be not carbonated but ended being carbonated. I for instance once purchased a Sobe Energy(the glass bottles) and upon drinking it i noticed that the beverage was carbonated. what caused this? at that point, Sobe had zero carbonated drinks so i dont believe it was a bottling mix-up? was it some chemical effect? just want to know if anyone experienced this with any drink on the market.

Beta is a word we've been throwing around a lot in the office this week, as PA continues its march towards … well, beta. We're all glued to our computer screens and clacking away at our keyboards furiously, shaping the new features and tweaks you'll see in the new version of the game. Tentatively, we're aiming to release in a couple of weeks, and we can't wait for all of you to get your hands on it (and smash a few planets)!
We've also been working on the Alpha version of the game. And actually, we pushed out a really neat update to it just yesterday. As always, we've posted the full patch notes in the game and in our forums, but here's some of the meatier additions:
- Smarter AI: Smart, solid, and strong AI is a priority and we're continuing to shape up the Alpha version of our AI. This latest update, in fact, makes said AI even more devilish — and the AI now expands much faster. Also, interestingly, the AI takes better advantage of the CPU, making its performance footprint smaller.
- Naval And Water Planets: Boats no longer leave bases sideways (even though that was kinda cool), and more importantly, now you can build your bases on all-water planets — anti-air, metal, energy, air, and other structures can now be built on water.
- Nukes: We've been continually iterating on the nukes and specifically fixing some of problems some users have experienced with them not hitting. Neat!
- Optimizations and Tweaks: We've resolved the Intel HD 2000 / 3000 issue, as well as a couple of client-side issues. If this is you, just update the client, and you should be OK to continue blowing stuff up. Keep rolling, Commanders.
As always, we appreciate the support and the feedback. Feel free to drop us a line.

I'm not much of a drinker anymore. That's not to say I don't appreciate a really well made cocktail or glass of wine, but those days of dancing around a bar, or on a bar for that matter, are far behind me. I'm not sure if it was the extreme nausea I encountered the next morning, or if it's because office chairs aren't made for supporting a fetal position, but I think the abrupt end to my Bacchanalia had something to do with the hang over effect.
Back in the day when I was a young Scoop, my friends and I got such a thrill out of drinking. It all began with us coercing fake ID holders to raid the liquor stores for cheap vodka, tequila if we were desparate. Then, there was the secretive phone call made from under our covers or locked in a closet so our parents couldn't hear what was going down. After that came the trade-off. A group of high school girls piled into their parent's much nicer than average car, drove down a couple of winding roads through their fairytale-like suburbia, and pulled to the curb when they saw their "mark," another mom-mobile parked with it's tail lights on. Two of them would run out of the car, because girls never travel alone, and with their pony tails bopping behind them, they would feel so stealth but look so ridiculous. The trade was made, mission accomplished, and the scene of the crime was evacuated. Looking back on it now, I can't believe what we went through for those disgusting bottles of cheap alcohol. If I could talk to that girl right now I would say, "Jamie… you're an idiot."
Now, it didn't stop there. After the exchange was made, we would fight over whose basement we would drink in, or try to find the most hopping house party to crash, and just start pounding. Straight, chased, mixed, cooked, it didn't matter as long as it went down! This ritual was followed by extreme stupidity, which is something that we just don't want to touch upon (I just got chills down my spine.. not the good ones).
This activity of scouring cheap alcohol, pounding it like it was the last supply in the world, and waking up sick the next morning lasted a good six years for me. In my defense, I think it lasts a lot longer for other people, and for that I am very proud. Call me a loser, call me a cheap date, I don't care! I really don't understand how we all went through that, or how we didn't die from all of that alcohol. Every time I think about it, it truly amazes me.
Today, friends, I am not that girl. I am the loser who searches near and far for the most talented mixologist, tells them what I am in the mood for, and studies their every move as they concoct the most beautiful and delicious drink I've ever had (that week). I am not a prude, I am not a homebody (all of the time), and I do frequent local bars. I am just pointing out that my lazy cheap days of binge drinking are far behind me, and I have developed an appreciation for a finely made cocktail. Like a fantastic entrée, a really well made drink has a lot of depth, layers of flavor, and is treated as if it's a piece of art.
And with that I say, hold the rail vodka with cranberry, I'll take Poquito Picante, please… extra spicy 😉

While most dogs and puppies recover from giardiasis with treatment, the infection can kill a dog with a compromised immune system or who is already in poor condition. Some dogs become permanent carriers of the protozoa causing the disease. People can also become infected with Giardia, although it's usually contracted from other humans, not canines.
Giardia in Dogs
Giardiasis occurs when a dog becomes infected with Giardia, a one-celled protozoan. Dogs and puppies contract giardiasis by ingesting the cysts, or Giardia "offspring," when coming into contact with contaminated feces. Giardia is often present in environments containing a lot of dogs, including kennels, shelters and pet shops. The infection is quite common. The Companion Animal Parasite Council notes that while regional differences exist, infections with clinical signs in canines average 15.6 percent.
Puppies or dogs with giardiasis experience vomiting and diarrhea, along with excess gas and weight loss. Dogs suffering from giardiasis might produce extremely bad-smelling feces containing mucus. Many dogs with Giardia in their intestinal tracts show no symptoms, but shed the cysts in their feces. Your vet diagnoses the presence of Giardia in a dog's stool by analyzing a fecal sample for the cysts.
Your vet will prescribe medications to combat the Giardia, including antibiotics and dewormers. She might also recommend a high-fiber diet to firm up feces, as well as a shampoo for your dog to remove cysts on the coat. Relatively healthy dogs generally respond to this treatment, although it can require several followup visits to the vet for fecal testing and perhaps more than one round of antibiotics to get rid of the parasites.
Chronic Giardiasis
In a small percentage of dogs, the giardiasis can't be completely eradicated after numerous rounds of antibiotics. These dogs might suffer from chronic malabsorption, in which nutrients from their food can't be properly utilized by the body. These dogs often exhibit weight loss and loose bowels. Dogs with chronic giardiasis, even if appearing quite healthy, carry the parasite and can infect other animals who come into contact with their feces. If your dog is a carrier, it's important to clean up all fecal material immediately and keep the dog's environment disinfected. If you have other dogs or cats, take fecal samples to the vet regularly for Giardia testing.

Video isn't just for reaching customers or potential customers: it's also useful in-house. The business video platform provider Qumu released an interesting study on how businesses are using online video to work more effectively with remote employees, called "Maximizing Remote Employee Collaboration with Video."
Qumu surveyed over 100 corporate communications experts in June, 2012, to find out how they're using video and what benefits they found. Often, video points to better communications and lower costs.
The mobile revolution has absolutely hit the office, and Qumu found that 73.6 percent of those surveyed said that uploading video from company events or trade shows was a valuable use for smartphone video uploading.
Marketers know that, for online video, shorter is often better. Surprisingly, the same is true for internal training videos. The best length for training videos is between 2 and 4 minutes, said 41.2 percent of respondents, and between 5 and 10 minutes, said 38.2 percent. Only 3.9 percent thought training videos should be longer than 10 minutes.
There's a place for both live and recorded video within the office. Respondents prefer live video overwhelmingly (79.4 percent) when collaborating with colleagues on a project.
No one wants autoplay. Qumu asked respondents their must-have features for online video, and the ability to start and stop the video topped the list (86.3 percent). After that came the ability to download the video (53.9 percent), showing that workers want to re-watch or repurpose videos at will.
The survey even showed when people would rather watch video than take a call or an in-person meeting. The number one event that workers would rather replace with video were all-hands company or department meetings (62.4 percent). They're notorious time sinks, and respondents would rather get the same information from their desks.
Someone's got to make all that video, but respondents said that the time involved in video production kept them from making videos (44.6 percent). After that, 39.6 percent said they lacked the skills required to use editing software. It looks like businesses need software so intuitive that it doesn't feel like work.

When I met Magic with my mom and dad many years ago when I got my sneakers signed by him my dad talked to Magic mentioning to him about knowing him before when he was in college or meeting him before there. And Magic smiled at my dad and went "Ah really? Where at?"
And my dad said "The parties..." and Magic thought for a second, seemed to come to a realization and nodded and went 'aah...right.' and then he wanted to talk to me. And I asked my dad later about what he meant and he went "Don't worry son. He(Magic) knows what I'm talking about." and left it at that lol
And now THIS story comes out lol =P I think I understand now
Question is was your moms at one of those parties......ohhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhh!!!!!
