Utility Services
Subject matter expertise across SAP development and deployment to Energy and Utilities clients across North America.
As Utility and Energy Providers move from a standard CIS to an SAP ERP Solution, many make the financial investment for the technology itself but face major challenges attempting to integrate their new ERP Solution into their technical environments. Often, this can be attributed to not having the necessary resources on staff to support the implementation and integration of the Solution into their business and technical environments.

It's no secret that our oceans are in trouble. Let's face it, even before the BP megadisaster, the world's oceans were already in trouble, facing overfishing, climate change and pollution. But the oil spill has brought the plight of our oceans front and center.
If I could — if I didn't have kids, and school, and work, and pets, and sick relatives to juggle — I would drop everything and make a beeline down to the Gulf to do whatever I could to help. The reality is that I can't, but that doesn't mean I can't make a difference to the world's oceans.
In fact, I got some great tips from my friend Terra Wellington, a fellow green mom and the author of "The Mom's Guide to Growing Your Family Green: Saving the Earth Begins at Home". Here are some of the ways she has changed her family's habits to aid wildlife:
Buy Best Choice – Use Seafood Watch and try to stay on the Best Choice list whenever you purchase seafood. You can download and print the pocket guide, use the iPhone app, or bookmark the link on your smartphone.
- Eat less fish – Cut down on meat eating, including fish, and try a semi-vegetarian diet that emphasizes plant proteins and more fruits and veggies. It's healthier for your family and eases the pressure on our animal protein production system.
- Eat sustainable food – Join an organic veggie CSA and/or hit up your local farmers market for fresh fruits and veggies. This helps to reduce chemicals and top soil runoff that ends up in our waterways and oceans.
- Clean your energy – Support cleaner energy by opting for alternative energy from your local utility provider.
- Reduce your utility bill – Take advantage of the rebates and tax incentives available to swap out appliances for less energy-consuming models.
- Buy greener transportation – Opt for walking, biking and public transportation whenever possible. If you do need a car, buy the greenest option you can afford — electric, hybrid or high gas mileage — to use the least amount of oil.
- Stop the landscape chemicals – Green your lawn to reduce your use of chemicals. Use compost, mulch and slow-release or organic fertilizers — all in moderation. And stay away from pesticides and herbicides. Also opt for native plants, which need less water and fertilizing overall.
- Contact your government – Go onto Congress.org and write your state and federal representatives about your ocean-related concerns.
- Give your grocery store feedback – Tell your grocery store what seafood you do and don't want.
- Talk to your chef – Tell the chef at your favorite restaurant what kind of sustainable seafood you'd like to see on the menu.

Quality Home And Business PC Desks | Strong Build, Great Design And Styles
Deciding on a home office PC desk may appear like the most straightforward element of creating an practical, effectual 'work from home' atmosphere. When you choose to delve in to the sector of office desk furnishings, the task could easily become overwhelming if you have restricted familiarity with purchasing a 'trustworthy' desk.
What To Look For In A Good Quality Desk?
Sturdy Oak PC Desk
This minimal information will let you justify 'what to look for' in a reliable piece of fashionable furniture for your home study. Although it is considerable to choose a home PC desk workstation with a dependable solid build, design and stable structure that is perfect for your own personal style and sense of living.
Modern Desk For Home Business Office Operations
Your brand new desk should match the current interior design of your business office, although calibre definitely matters eventually for your purchase. A preferred, exceptional furniture piece will last for some time, whilst anything that's been poorly manufactured has a realistic possibility of winding up as fire timber some time.
Professional Ergonomic PC Desk With Drawers And Pedestal
L Shaped Computer Desk
We do recognize that wooden made, laminate built, stylish glass and metallic frame are the frequent resources typically utilised in the construction of the standard PC desk for use at home.
Solid wood is a trendy, modern choice, as it presents itself desirable in nearly any workplace. It inclines to last for a very long time and aesthetically 'age well', although wood still needs basic 'up-keeping' to preserve it's organic charm.
PC Workstations In Wood, Metallic Frame Or Artistic Glass..
If space is an issue in your home, it's then suggested you take in to account a corner (L Shaped) PC desk for your household. It's astonishing how much additional room this type of desk provides you with in any modest nook. MDF or laminate office at home workstation desks are the appropriate option if you prefer a low-budget option.
Sturdy Oak Wood Or Metallic Frame PC Workstations
Xpress Computer Desk..
Laminate simply involves the desk has a artificial texture covering the wood. These days, it is possible to find this type of home furniture in a number of distinct designs, such as wood grain and colour. It's surprising the volume of individuals who are led to believe that these desks are constructed of top quality, legitimate wood. Metallic PC workstations for home are popular as well.
Restricted Space? Compact PC Desks For Modest Size Homes
Occasionally it's not so simple to determine how to distinguish from the first-class desk arrangement, to the low-quality, low-priced versions. A little 'understanding' in this market can stop you from over spending in this sector. An excellent method is to check the drawers and hutches to tell apart the overall quality of the workmanship.
Check Functioning Drawers For Quality..
Considerable solid drawers have strong suspension runners by the use of thin metallic suspension rollers. Just before buying, open and close the storage to be sure they perform efficiently.They offer good strong durability and strength, but they can be quite weighty - and a few tend to rust over time, based upon where they are positioned.
Enough Space For PC Devices And Peripherals..
Bright Office Desk
Several smaller desks for home can efficiently have an abundance of storage space for all of your PC devices and peripherals. Elevated ledges for the monitor and scaled-down wooden hutches for stationery goods are beneficial too.
A Solid Computer Desk As A Major Investment Decision
Look for a desk with a minimum of a 2 year guarantee included. Feel how solid the desk is and get an understanding of how much it weighs and 'balances'. Evaluate how the drawers show up when closed - if there are spaces, this is a indication that the desk is not organized in the best possible fashion.
Furniture That Lasts For Years..
In some homes, the office desk is the main spot of the room, so don't hurry to choose, don't purchase inexpensive, ask questions and discover various types of workplace desks to identify a gorgeous example which will last you for many years.

Hee! I loved this little "look at me" moment.
Ahaha, this scene. But where did Bradley's arse go? :(
Ffffff, this scene.
My stomach dropped when I first saw this cap. Just, that face. Fuck.
My favorite 4.01 scene. My Merlin/Arthur is back, watch me weep happy tears.
Hahaha! His face doesn't even make sense in context. It looks like he's contemplating the use of torches as sex toys or something.
Fuck, wrecked. :(
I love that he kissed Uther's forehead.
It's okay Lancelot, we love you.
MONEY SHOT. (I was so worried for Gwaine's hair what with all the crazy torch waving.)
I didn't get why Arthur was so terrified until I realized he was psyching himself up for his own death. Meep.
PS: You know what else is back? Supernatural! And I don't just mean back on TV, I mean it's back back. Yeah, I actually can't wait to see the next episode. Haven't felt like that in a good long while and I couldn't be happier about it. :)

There are a few excellent Volley & Bayonet blogs on the Internet, one is the Seven Years War blog run by Fabrizio Davì called the Torgau Project. Here Fabrizio documents his research and army building, in 6mm. Recently Fabrizio has posted a four part series on the scenario and mini campaign for the Battle of Korbitz which is now packaged up as a full scenario and published here. To set the scene I will hand over to Fabrizio.
At the beginning of September 1759, a Prussian relief corps under Maj.Gen. Wunsch was sent to counter the Austro-Imperial invasion of Saxony: despite arriving too late to prevent the Dresden surrender, it recaptured however most of northern Saxony. With the help of a corps commanded by Lt.Gen Finck, Wunsch recaptured Leipzig: the two reunited corps marched then on Meissen. To counter them the GFML prince Friedrich von Pflaz-Zweibrücken, commander-in-chief of the Reichsarmee, left 16 battalions to garrison Dresden and marched with his army, reinforced by the Austrian corp of Hadik to attack them. The whole operation was supervised by Field Marshal Serbelloni.
The plan was to fix the Prussian left wing in front of Meissen with the Reichsarmee whereas Hadik was to flank the Prussian position with his corps. The Wunsch wing contained the Reichsarmee ineffective attack: in the meantime Hadik attacked the Finck wing. The approach march of Hadik wing was delayed by the very poor terrain conditions and Hadik asked repeatedly to call off the attack. However Serbelloni ordered to proceed and Hadik troops arrived piecemeal on the battle scene.

Independent Living History
The Independent Living Movement grew out of the civil rights struggle of the Disability Rights Movement of the early 1970's. The first Center for Independent Living, established in 1972 in Berkeley, California, was established through the efforts of disabled college students on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley to get an education and be fully integrated into the academic and social life of the university.
Students Ed Roberts, Hale Zukas, and Jan McEwan Brown emerged as major leaders in this movement for the full inclusion of people with disabilities into community life. Before the disability rights movement, disability had been seen primarily as a medical issue that required professional intervention, treatment and oversight by medical and clinical professionals. People with disabilities had been seen primarily as the objects of medical care, paternalism and charity.
The Independent Living Movement redefined disability as a personal attribute that characterizes an individual but does not define them. The Independent Living Movement called for people with disabilities to be in control of their lives and services that they receive. The Independent Living movement no longer saw the disability as the problem that needed to be cured or managed but rather located the problem in barriers that needed to be removed in order for all people with disabilities to enjoy the same opportunities and responsibilities as non-disabled citizens. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended in 1978 established Centers for Independent Living throughout the nation. Independence Northwest opened its doors in northwest Connecticut in 1988.
In its broadest implications the independent living movement is the civil rights movement of the millions of Americans with disabilities.

|A four foot round cigar shaped object made of branches hanging in the sky by itself. Totally motionless.
My twenty year old daughter and I were driving about fifty miles per hour when I looked up to my left into the sky and saw something hanging there motionless. It was about one-hundred feet in the sky. It was totally still, and as we got closer I told my daughter to look. What is that, I said? She goes, I don't know..that's weird. As we got closer to what was just hanging there in the sky, it almost looked like a bird's nest or a bunch of branches together kind of in the shape of a cigar. Nothing was around it, nothing could have been holding it up in the sky. I had never seen anything like it before. This was halfway between Mcminnville Oregon and Carlton out in the country. There was no wind at the time.

Dramaturgie im zeitgenössischen Tanz ist ? positiv gemeint ? ein heißes Eisen. Idealerweise sind Dramaturginnen und Dramaturgen während der Erarbeitung eines Stücks die besten Freunde der Choreografen. more
Süddeutsche Zeitung, 12.04.2005
Will the revolution bring democracy to Kyrgyzstan? Russian journalist Vera Tokombaeva has her doubts. "Most Kyrgyzstanis see politics above all as the possibility of controlling different branches of society. When the biggest piece of the pierogi belongs to the former ruler, then redistribution is a serious threat. To put it another way, chances are good that the republic will repeat its mistake." For Tokombaeva, Kyrgyzstan is different from the Ukraine in that it has no political or intellectual elite, and an ideological vacuum. "There were slogans about democracy and the market economy, but nothing more. Now new ideas could flare up â liberalism, nationalism, religion. Today small leaders are keen to establish their own rule. Moreover, there is the danger that a new, revanchist opposition of former 'Akayevists' will emerge, who would have to give back their property, or replace what they have squandered. In past weeks it has become only too clear that the new rulers have neither a concrete programme, nor an ability for compromise, nor even the readiness to give up their own ambitions in favour of a constructive solution. Never was Kyrgyzstani society so near to clan war - a war over land and pastures, as the nomadic tribes have been waging since time immemorial."
In an interview with Olga Grimm-Weissert, opera director Peter Sellars, whose "Tristan and Isolde" appears tonight in the Paris Opera, talks about the composer Richard Wagner. "Tristan was an orphan, he had no home, was touched by nobody. If someone approached him affectionately, he shrank back because his mother had never touched him. He is a stranger everywhere he goes, he thinks he has to tell everyone that he's OK. In the second act, Isolde tells him that he's no longer alone, that it's 'Tristan AND Isolde' now and that they can die together. Here we don't have the romantic Wagner but rather the Wagner who sees relationships between adults as hard work."
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 12.04.2005
Giorgio Agamben, one of today's most renowned philosophers, writes about the black-red-gold-haired naked women recently displayed in Vanessa Beecroft's performance VB 55 in the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. In fact they are not naked, he says, for "according to the axiom based on the Christian theology of clothing, human nakedness, if at all, is only possible in a provisional, negative manner. For one thing, this is true because in Eden the creatural body is immediately covered by divine grace, and for another because this body is clothed after the fall in a gown whose necessity is the basis for the christening; and finally, because in Paradise, the blessed will receive a new robe of glory which cannot be cast off."
Marta Kijowska explains why, after the deaths of Pope John-Paul II and Nobel Prize winner Czeslaw Milosz, the time that Polish national consciousness fed on literature and Catholicism has come to an end. "Recent Polish history could have been very different, had Karol Wojtyla not been elected head of the Catholic church (1978) and Czeslaw Milosz not won the Nobel Prize (1980). The years before that were marked by struggle and deprivation. Some national myths were destroyed and the patience of the Poles was put to the test. Their collective power could not possibly have sufficed for a new uprising. But these two events were a signal that their two sources of Polish identity had not yet run dry."
Die Tageszeitung, 12.04.2005
In her column on theory and technology following the papal burial, Isolde Charms considers whether the general trend to confess in the sexual realm has been transferred to religion. Foucault would see another way of interpreting the phenomena. According to his analysis, bodily desire is our innermost core; but now it seems that metaphysical desire is taking its place. "Formerly the most significant medium of confession was the church, with its sophisticated confessional practices. Then came a series of other media: medical, scientific, literary â in the first line, however, psychoanalysis. Today we have a privileged medium of confession in the media public and religion has become its most recent focus. Religion has gone from being a medium of confession to its most 'obscene' object."
Frankfurter Rundschau, 12.04.2005
Systems theorist Peter Fuchs reflects in an essay on why passion has become suspect and unmodern. "Living spontaneously is no longer considered legitimate; at best, it is a socially acceptable way of describing artists who are missing something: ironic realism seems to be the clearest effect of post-modernism. Passions have become strange â if they are to be shared, then only with dampened enthusiasm. To burn with passion, to decay from passion, to desire everything, to tremble, lament and scream, the wailing and the teeth grinding, lust and all the other seven sins, in short: the frenetic-panic in all its manifestations... We have for such phenomena 'limited generosity' (and a little humour) â perhaps in Salzburg at 'Jedermann'. In everyday life, they would simply terrify us and cause us to question whoever demonstrated them." Fuchs suggests going at the problem "with verve".

text: In 1993 in the pursuit of a simpler, modest life, Swiss couple, Claudia and Thomas emigrated to rural Poland. Together with their nine children they have been running an organic farm in picturesque Mazury, in the northeast of the country. In stark contrast to the high standard of living in Switzerland they first resided in an open fireplace tepee, leading a much less modern existence. Their search for something different took them through Italy and Southern France to find a land where they could be happy and at peace. A piece of land where they could realise the project they've always dreamed of, an 'eco-village'. Their journey brought them to this area of Poland but, unfortunately, their idea didn't work out. However, besides the bleak, depressing atmosphere and a really harsh first winter, they bravely decided to stay. And they never regretted making that choice. They have been living happily, in the village of Bachanowo, in a relatively poor region of northeast Poland, working on their farm and producing their famous Swiss cheeses for over 20 years.

Me & Mine - April '16
Saturday, April 30, 2016
Our photo is from Cambridge University Botanic Garden which is somewhere I used to go all the time as a child. I have only taken Zach once before, and Jono had never been, so we decided to tick it off our list one Saturday. Zach had a great time splashing in all the puddles, and running around the greenhouses.
We also took a trip up to the coast this month, again on a saturday afternoon when we had nothing planned. It was pretty spontaneous, but that made it all the more fun. Although it was freezing cold we had a great time running around and finished the evening with Zach's very first Nando's!
Speaking of our toddler, he has had his ups and downs this month. On the one hand we've seen more and more tantrums when he doesn't get his own way, and it is so much tougher than we had imagined (and we know it's just going to get worse). But then on the other hand he's been so so much fun the rest of the time. He's babbling a lot more which is really nice as he's always been so quiet and a little slow with his speech,
This month we've also started project garden as we want to get it ready for Zach to play in. Our plans were slightly delayed after our drains blocked and our garden got covered in poo, but thankfully that has been sorted now! After a week of having garden furniture taking up space in our house we've taken it outside, and this evening we had our first fire and toasted marshmallows together once Zach was in bed. Pure bliss.
I hope everyone has had a brilliant month too, and fingers crossed May is a little warmer!

There's nothing more satisfying that eating something delicious that you've grown yourself. At WEN, that's basically our mantra! We believe that growing your own food is a guaranteed way to improve your diet, health and happiness, as well as reducing your expose to harmful chemicals found in pesticides. Eating seasonal, locally grown food also has vast benefits for the environment too, reducing the air miles of your food and decreasing your carbon footprint. Our seasonal food series shows you how to make the most of the fruits of the season in easy and delicious recipes.
August is without doubt the month of summer. It is the month of hot, lazy days and reaping the benefits of your hard work in the garden throughout the year. One of the most satisfying things to harvest in August are wild berries, which often grow in abundance in the countryside. I love escaping London for a weekend at my parents in the countryside, especially in August and September, when the apples and plums on our trees are finally ripe enough to pick, and the edges of our garden are defined by unruly blackberry and raspberry bushes.
The base is an almondy, buttery frangipane, covered by a layer of sweet, sticky blackberries with a cinnamon and sugar crumble topping. Think coffee cake but the coffee has been replaced by almonds and blackberries. It's delicious in the afternoon with a cup of tea, or could probably even pass as breakfast food (everyone knows cake is the ultimate in breakfast foods.
Blackberry and Almond Tart
For the frangipane base:
160g butter
160g caster sugar
2 eggs
160g ground almonds
40g plain flour
about 150g of blackberries (or as many as you can pick!)
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and grease and line a pie dish.
Cream together your butter and sugar, then add the eggs and mix well. Add the ground almonds and flour.
Tip your frangipane mixture into your pie dish, then arrange the blackberries over the top, ensuring that they are spread out evenly over the whole base. Put the tart in the fridge, then, make your topping.
For the topping:
100g butter
150g plain flour
75g brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
handful of flaked almonds
Rub the butter into the flour between your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs. When you have a fine, sandy consistency, mix in the sugar, cinnamon and flaked almonds. Sprinkle the crumble over the blackberries, then bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the tart is firm to the touch.
When it is cool, remove it from the pie dish and enjoy!

A few weeks ago I decided that I really needed an assistant. After having my precious baby Genevieve in December, I had begun to throw myself back into the wonderful world of Special Events in Philadelphia. Bridal shows, networking events, weddings, charity responsibilities, the list goes on. I came to find out that my younger sister had a friend who is interested in this industry. Enter one Miss Tish Carney!
working in the business world, she looked back fondly on her times
fundraising while attending Penn State. She was highly active with
THON, as well as other organizations. Tish is really interested in
fundraising and special events for non-profits. We both thought that
jumping into the role as my assistant would help pad her resume, and
have some fun while doing so. She has been a great asset to my company
smart, and reliable are just some of the aspects that you look for in
an assistant. Not to mention humor. Thankfully Tish has all of these
traits down pat!
Her first official outing with me was to the VIP Magazine Event at Dave & Buster's on March 8th. For 10 years I have had a part time job at Midnight Sun Company. One of the bands we manage, Lost In Paris, was playing this event. It's always nice to be able to support both of my jobs at the same time. This also made for a really fun networking event for Tish to attend. We mingled, got our pictures taken in the Shutter Booth photo booth, rocked out to an awesome band, ate lots of Cupcake Gourmet treats, and loved seeing the Creative Juice people. Here's Tish with the baseball statue who scared her when he said "Hello."
The next event Tish helped me with was yesterday's First Annual Garces Catering Bridal Event. I love smaller, intimate bridal shows and I was so glad she got to experience it with me. The Cira Centre lobby was transformed into a beautiful event space. We were located right under the pergola which gave it a very outdoorsy feel. This went perfect with our table decor of terrariums, moss, succulents, and lace wrapped mason jars. We were privileged to be with some of the city's best wedding professionals. Check out some of the photos below.

Lazuli really enjoyed battling and was a frequent participant of the Battledome. One time, I was watching her battle a Tonu. The two were more or less evenly matched, and I was beginning to wonder if the battle would ever end. But then the Tonu made her fall. This was a bad move on his part, because Lazuli was in a perfect position to send him flying and win the battle. So, Air Faerie Scepter in hand, she thrust it forward... and nothing happened. Actually, that's not true. The air she conjured up made the Tonu stumble, but compared to the other gusts that she conjured up throughout the whole battle, that one was considerably weak. Because of this, Lazuli lost. Honestly, it baffled me! What happened to make Lazuli's wind so weak? I'm fairly certain that Neopets don't use magic points like in an RPG game to cast magic. So after the battle on our way home, I asked Lazuli why her wind was so weak at the critical point. Her answer was thus, "I forced too much on the air, so it didn't flow smoothly. I do that a lot under pressure."
At first, I thought I understood so I didn't ask her anything else. Then I realized that, actually, I had no idea what she was talking about. I had the sudden revelation that I knew nothing of battling, even though my own Neopet enjoys it. I jolted at this realization considerably. I had always considered myself to be a good owner who was always involved with her Neopets. To realize I knew little to nothing about one of my Neopet's favorite hobbies was startling. And so, I went to learn at least a little bit about battling. Needless to say, I enjoyed researching it so much, I continued.
In the course of my research, I've found that a lot of the owners don't know anything about Icons – much like me before – even the ones who enjoy battling. So I've decided to make an article about the most basic things of battling, the six Icons. Arguably there are seven Icons, the seventh being Physical, but it is not really an icon; it is just the normal use of the weapon. If a weapon doesn't have a Physical Icon, it means that you can only use it for magic, like a wand. For example, you can't try to cut anything with a sword if it doesn't have a Physical Icon. You need to use magic to cut it.
As you probably know, the six icons are: Water, Earth, Fire, Air, Dark and Light. What you probably don't know is that the Icons are separated into two categories: Stable and Unstable. So far, so good? Stable Icons consist of Water, Earth and Light. Unstable Icons consists of all their counterparts Fire, Air and Dark. In my analysis of the Icons, I shall include a description of the faeries that use the Icon because the icons are a part of them. Their personality is suited to the use of the icon.
First up are the Unstable Icons. There's a reason why these three Icons are called Unstable. It's because there power differs depending on how you feel. They draw their power from your emotions. The more strongly you feel, the more powerful they are. But beware! Unstable Icons don't just draw power from your emotions, they encourage them. If you don't keep them in check, you could very well go berserk. Not only that, if you use a spell that is too powerful for you or you don't keep a firm enough grip on the spell, you could lose control of it and hurt you and your surroundings.
"Fierce and quick-tempered, Fire Faeries have a reputation for impatience." What you'll also find is that Fire Faeries are very emotional and moody. One minute you can be chatting happily with them, then the next their shouting at you to leave them alone. They don't get along well with their counterparts, the Water Faeries, as they find their haughtiness unbearable.
Fire is fueled by your emotions. It doesn't matter what they are. All that matters is how strong they are. Happiness, anger, confusion... the list goes on. So, to be a Fire user, you need to be very emotional. As with all Unstable Icons, you need to have a firm grip on what you're doing to make sure nothing gets out of hand. If you're furious at someone or something and you use Fire, expect an explosion. If you're feeling strong emotions, Fire will be easier to use but harder to control. If you're calm, the opposite will happen. Fire has its little tricks and things but it isn't a really complicated Icon. That doesn't make it any easier, though. It is very difficult to keep under control. That's why all Fire teachers are strict. If you don't listen to what they say and practice, even spells you know and are good at can get out of hand.
"Though most Neopians fear and distrust these creatures, Queen Fyora claims that Dark Faeries are not all evil." Though impatient, irritable and sometimes sarcastic, Dark Faeries are surprisingly loyal, whether for good or bad. Whichever side they choose, they're sure to stick to it.
Dark is the most misunderstood of all the Icons. Neopians think that Dark Faeries are all evil (even though Queen Fyora trusts them), and anyone who has Dark as their Talent Icon will be evil. But that's not true. It's only that it's easy to fall to the dark side when you use Dark. The reason is all in the way you use it. Now, from the above you should understand Fire, right? So you should understand that it reacts to your strong emotions. Well, Dark is very similar, only instead of any emotion in general – as long as it's strong – Dark reacts to your negative emotions. Anger, sadness, jealousy, revenge and so on. Dark fuels and encourages these emotions as well as, it takes its energy from it. Similar to Fire, when you feel strong negative emotions, Dark will be easier to use but harder to control and if you're calm, vice versa. That's why Dark Faeries are so loyal. They're used to fighting their dark side and have accepted it more than most others. So what's a little encouragement to change sides from others? They're used to fighting against temptation to use a more powerful spell in whatever situation because they know that it'll get out of hand. Not just the faeries but also the Neopets.
"Masters of weather and the sky, Air Faeries are known for being a little flighty. Perhaps they're just very busy; they do need their beauty sleep, after all." Air Faeries are very imaginative and creative and are frequent visitors of Dream Land.
Air is a little different from Dark and Fire because while they extract their power from emotions, Air doesn't. You have to be relaxed to use Air, let yourself go. You'll find that people who have a love for imagination and have a tendency to lose concentration will have Air as their Talent Icon. Another trait about Air is that it requires a lot of movement to do a powerful spell, although not much concentration. Bear in mind though that this Icon requires imagination. Being able to see what is happening when you use an Icon is very important, so if you have an Icon like Air – which you can't see – you need to improvise a little. You need to picture in your mind what it is that you want to happen and then you release the magic. Air is easier to use when you're used to it, it comes more naturally. So, for instance, if you find someone with Air as their Talent Icon and they let their mind wander, you'll probably feel a slight breeze, even though they don't realize that they're doing it.
Now for the Stable Icons. Stable Icons are the ones that take the most amount of concentration to use and are also weaker than their counterparts. But the Stable Icons are much more stable, hence the name. It's impossible for them to get out of hand. If you do a spell wrong, it just won't work. Stable Icons don't rely on your emotions as their source of power. They're completely independent of them, besides for a few key feelings.
"Wisest of the faeries, Water Faeries guard the ancient secrets of magic, which has given them a reputation for haughtiness." Water Faeries are secretive, as mysterious as the depths of the ocean. They say that all Water Faeries have a book that they write in all the things that they have learned. Supposedly, there is a secret library (not to be mistaken with the Hidden Tower) where they store the books of all the past Water Faeries. From there, other Water Faeries and their most trusted apprentices can borrow any book from the library that once belonged to a Water Faerie with a similar talent. They can learn from past Water Faeries things they may not have figured out on their own.
The use of Water differs from user to user but the most important characteristics is concentration and relaxation. Like all Stable Icons, you need to concentrate on what you're doing while you're using water or it won't work. You need to think about it without distractions and remain a firm mental hold on it or the water will just flop onto the floor. You need relaxation because Water isn't jumpy. So if you are feeling: tense, nervous, jumpy, or something along those lines, Water isn't going to respond that well to you. You have to be relaxed and calm at all times, so that the water flows smoothly and will react to any little touch. The way you use Water differs from person to person and because of this you have to find out what suits you best in order to use it correctly. For example, you can find someone that's best at changing the form of Water (changing it to ice, water vapor and back to water), while another may be best at making Water shields and so on. Another thing about Water is that you need to figure out how to use it. Like learning to ride a bicycle, your teacher can tell you what training you should do and help you along with useful tips, but you need to figure out how to do it on your own. It's much like solving a puzzle but a puzzle that has a different way of solving for each person.
"Kind-hearted protectors of nature, Earth Faeries love to take care of Neopians and make sure that everyone has enough to eat." Earth Faeries, you'll find, are very patient and thorough with everything they do and have a wide knowledge of the earth and all its secrets.
Some Neopians consider Earth as the hardest Icon of the six. The reason for this is that to master it, you have to have a vast knowledge of Biology. While you're using it, you have to be aware of exactly what will happen to it. You have to use your magic to make the nutrients it needs to grow, know exactly how much the roots and stem will grow, etc. Another characteristic of Earth is that it – like Water – requires a lot of concentration. If you let your mind wonder for a second, the spell breaks and you have to start all over. Earth requires a lot of intelligence, like Water, but in a different way. So you can say that Water requires street-smarts, while Earth requires book-smarts.
"Said to be great seers, Light Faeries use simple trading cards to predict the future." Light Faeries are always cheerful and hardly anything can ever get them down.
Light is a bit different from other Stable Icons. It completely depends on your positive emotions, much different from its two subordinates. Upon hearing this, I had the same question that most of you are probably thinking. If Light relies on your emotions to work, then why isn't it an Unstable Icon? Well, there's a very interesting answer to that question. Light isn't really unstable where you have to have a strong grip on your emotions if you don't want the spell going crazy. It is very easy to control, you can give it as much or as little as you like without it going crazy. The problem with Light is that you need something to give it in the first place. So, while its counterpart, Dark relies on negative emotion, Light relies on positive emotions. You may think it easy and simple but can you imagine being optimistic and happy in the heat of battle? You've been hit and attacked for hours, your health has almost finished, could you still smile and be happy at that point? Not easy.
So there you go, my article on the six Icons. I hope you've enjoyed it, and will keep better track of what your Neopets are doing. This is Roxanne signing out!
My first published article! Yay! Please note that none of the above is true. All of it was completely made up by me.

Has anyone else been watching the new series "The Bible," on the History channel? Last week, we watched Abraham, the leader of his own small tribe and family go out from among his larger group of families and tribes when he heard the voice of God. In a brutal, uncertain culture, the voice of clarity coming from the maker of the Heavens and Earth had chosen this man, Abraham, our father of faith, and made a promise that, from him, would come many nations and children as numerous as the stars.
Yes, that was the beginning for the Jews, God's "favorite people," according to the story. It's the beginning of our story, too. Abraham is our father of faith. And we, even more than the Hebrew people, are the descendants of Abraham in spirit. God has written His promises and new covenant on our heart, and we live in fellowship with Him through faith, just as Abraham did before the written law was given to Moses.
In Hebrews 11, Paul reminds us that Abraham left, seeking a place where the foundation of the city was built and made by God. What would such a place look like? Would it be Phoenician in architecture? Would it be like the Hittites' homes? Certainly not. Abraham didn't know. He only knew that he was going into the unknown, looking for something he'd never seen before – but once he arrived, he would know it would be from his God – the One God, whom he served.
There is a divine calling within each of us that mirrors our faith father, Abraham, and he received this desire from His Father and maker, the One God. We are driven to create something new and inspired by God in an unknown place where no men have ever gone before. Think of the possibilities! Our souls cry out for the glory of achieving something supernatural that can only be inspired from and felt by the power of God. We long to bravely go into this unknown place with the only One who can take us there, and the rewards are gloriously entwined in deep intimacy with Him – trusting Him, letting Him lead us, building and creating to His specifications, one piece at a time.
We will never be satisfied, truly, with the results of the church today if we continue to just do the same thing the same way we've always done. We're kidding ourselves if we even think it smells, tastes, or feels like what we've experienced before. We won't get to this new place in Him – the place He's calling us to – if we're sure that we know all the answers all by ourselves and can even compare it to what "has been." He WILL call each of us out of our comfort zones to bring forth the kingdom of God, whose foundation and builder is God Himself, because we are created for nothing less. It is our destiny, as children of Abraham.
The next time you are challenged to think beyond what you have already learned, what you think is "safe doctrine," or "fundamental ways" of "doing church," remember your faith father, Abraham. The seasons of change are blowing across the church in the world today, and we can choose to remain in our tents or listen closely to the voice of the One leading us. It has never been more important to hear and to know where God is going today, because it is definitely somewhere other than where we are right now.

Aviation Africa 2018: Cyber security: Not if, but when
An airline's greatest cyber-security threat may also be its most precious asset – its staff – according to panellists speaking at Aviation Africa in Cairo. Victoria Moores reports.
Hacking in to a company is no mean feat. The path of least resistance is often unsuspecting staff, who get caught out by cyber-security basics, such as password privacy or falling for phishing emails. This can lead to data theft, extortion, or worse, as national governments and criminals seek to exploit our 21st Century dependency on technology.
PGI managing director Brian Lord said employees are the easiest way into an organisation and the starting point for the most sophisticated attacks. "It is still the case that 80% of all global cyber attacks would have been stopped if human beings had been trained to operate properly," he said.
Lord urged companies to improve basic training, run cyber-security incident exercises and carefully manage media fallout. "The damage of ineffective reporting carries just as much risk as the technical issues underpinning it," he said.
Attackers use public fear and uncertainty stirred up by the media as a weapon in its own right, disabling and damaging the target company and tying up resources long after the technical problem is solved.
"The reaction to a disabling technical attack on an organisation is normally quite good. Where it falls down is their ability to manage that with the public, customers, shareholders and media. This is commercial damage; the technical damage is normally quite minimal."
Aside from criminal attacks, countries are also developing their own cyber-attack capabilities and testing them. "This practice is happening all over the world," Lord said. Unfortunately, airlines and airport are natural targets for both types of attack, because they form part of a country's critical national infrastructure.
Simon Knechtli, who is executive director aerospace at insurance firm Willis Towers Watson, said the insurance industry is changing its approach to cyber threats and extending cover to include a network interruption option.
"There are only two types company: those that can be hacked and those that will be," Knechtli said. "Don't just refer us to the IT department. This is a business risk."
He estimated the average cost of a data breach at $3.6 million. This is only likely to increase with the introduction of new European rules that carry a 4% of global revenue penalty for data leaks. "That is really focusing the mind of aviation companies," he said.
Knechtli agreed that the main vulnerability to cyber attacks is employee negligence. "90% is human error. The major risk to be dealt with first are your own employees."
Like Lord, he said companies should have a strategic plan when it comes to cyber security, including staff training.
Industry IT specialist SITA has collected 10 years of aviation cyber-attack data, profiling the attackers and their intentions. Hackers make up 40% of the total, with 32% being motivated by financial gain, said SITA global lead of business management Ahmed Fawzi. "A very important part of protecting the business is to get users aware, so they don't get exploited," he said.
Airlines need an action strategy, said Fawzi, but that plan will need constant revision. "This is not a one-time process. It is a repeat process that has to be ongoing, making sure you are constantly in the game and not falling behind at any time." Fawzi announced that SITA is about to start a cyber-security benchmarking study and invited conference delegates to join the project.
One area of the business that is particularly sensitive to breaches is business aviation, said Africa Satcom Direct (SD) business development director Brian Roos. With this in mind, SD is able to provide passengers with end-to-end encryption via a private network and detect in-flight cyber attacks in real-time. The company is so confident in its security levels that it guarantees against cyber-attack losses.
Cyber attacks could come at any point in the supply chain, for example using hub airport vulnerability to disrupt airline operations. This need for cooperation among aviation stakeholders triggered the creation of non-profit members organisation ISAC, which exchanges threat information among its airline, airframer and supplier members.
"There is a shared risk here," ISAC executive director Aviation Jeffrey Troy said. "The whole supply chain needs to talk to each other." The top concern that ISAC members voice during their regular calls and four annual meetings is regulatory compliance.
Osprey Flight Solutions CEO Andrew Nicholson agreed that there is a benefit to sharing information. "Without proper information, you can't do proper risk management because you can't understand the risks," he said. "It's down to us, as an industry, to improve ways of sharing information and helping each other – that comes down to trust."
This is where big data can be turned into a benefit. Pooled risk data can give a clearer picture of the threat, improving the efficiency of the response.
"If every operator shared a tiny bit of data, the overall improvement to risk management would be immense. It's about crowdsourcing information to create a bigger picture of what is going on. Scaling information in that way can be hugely powerful," Nicholson said
While people were a common cause for cyber-risk concern, Nicholson said they are also part of the solution. "Human analysts play an extremely important part, because they can make links that computers can't. It is about integration of humans and computers."
PGI managing director Brian Lord

Playing in online fire hook suite and casinos has ever been a hot pastime, since the origin of the thought of playing salamander over the Internet. Over the years, the options and features unspoken for at these sites, as ably as the toll taken on the users computer by all of the chimes and whistles unclaimed through with the Internet, can go off the actress wanting to ascent much normally than they can in reality drop.
While it possibly will come across a ingenuous business to pirouette in online fire iron suite and casinos, the offhand actress has to support in heed that quite a lot of of the more advanced players frisk at ninefold tables, and in online salamander flat and casinos such as as Fulltiltpoker.com, up to 15 tables at former can be utilized.

Simply buying off the support systems is the easiest way to donate the online poker room player with a computer gifted of cloth their immediate needs, but it is copernican to facts that companies specified as Dell, IBM and other hardware manufacturers, piece without blemish applicable for whopping enterprises and company office applications, are little than fitting for den and recreational purposes.Post ads:

Manchester United transfer news: William Carvalho and Grigoris Kastanos lined up as January midfield reinforcements
Jose Mourinho looking to strengthen his options in centre of park with either the Sporting Lisbon or Juventus ace
MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to sign a new midfielder in the January transfer window, according to reports.
Jose Mourinho is already on the hunt for reinforcements following last weekend's derby defeat to Manchester City, and is said to have lined up two top targets.
Italian outlet Calciomercato claims Sporting Lisbon ace William Carvalho leads the way, with Juventus youngster Grigoris Kastanos also on Mourinho's radar.
United scouted Carvalho earlier this year before moving to re-sign Paul Pogba in a world record deal.
The anchorman played a key role in Portugal's Euro 2016 triumph and was the subject of a cheeky £21million bid from West Brom on deadline day.
But Sporting are holding out for a higher fee, and United could be tempted to make a move as Mourinho considers switching from a 4-2-3-1 to a 4-3-3.

Everton are allegedly keen on making a move, and Ronald Koeman is confident he can land the ace with the offer of guaranteed first-team football.

Kiwi for Gmail: Finally Find Freedom From Your Browser
The day I discovered Kiwi for Gmail was the day I realized there really was actually a better way. If you are anything like me, you are constantly switching between different Gmail accounts, trying to figure out where you saved your last Google doc and just wishing that, for the love of all things bacon flavored, it would stop logging you out when you didn't ask it to. Kiwi for Gmail is a simple application that allows people to utilize Gmail + the G-Suite right on their desktop… sweet, seriously.
Log in Once, That's It
Forget logging in and then being forced to log out every time you want to switch from Gmail to Gmail just to switch from one Google Drive account to another. Halle-freakin-luja! This giant mess of simply switching accounts (which, I swear, sometimes takes 20 minutes) is now a thing of the past. Log in once and never log out again. Amen, sister.
Kiwi for Gmail calls it a "powerful engine that allows multiple accounts to be used together with 100% fidelity." I call it — "duh, the way Google should have built it in the first place."
Recent Docs — Hells Yeah!
If your little biz is anything like ours, you are constantly creating content. New content means new docs. But seriously, Google hides recent docs buried 40 million clicks deep, I realize it's a "feature", but it isn't really useful based on the number of times I have to click. Kiwi makes it easy. With Kiwi open, I can find my recent docs in any window, anytime. With Google, I have to navigate to docs, and lord, if I am not logged in to the right account, we both know how this is going to end.
One-Click Apps
Remember the days when you used to just navigate to your doc or start menu, hit "Microsoft Word" and babam, you were in? Well, we slowly all moved away to docs, and for good reason — autosave, easy sharing, and y'all hated paying for new licenses every 5 seconds. Well, 2011 is calling and y'all are going to be happy.
It has the charm and familiarity of what we spent our entire childhood using, but it's fast. Like, I didn't have to wait for the dang thing to load at all. One-click and you can just get to work.
Freedom from the Browser (with Zen Mode)
You know what happens when you get on the internet? Not work. Get your email off your browser so you can finally get some focus. I know you go straight to Facebook on autopilot instead of culling through your inbox like a good little boss baby.
And when you are done… Zen mode goes on. That's right, your email now has "Do Not Disturb".
Want the Kiwi Experience?
You can try Kiwi for Gmail now. All you gotta do is head here, hit install and in minutes you will be good to go. Available for both Mac and Windows lovers.

As soon as I restarted the system after installing the 10.7.3 update, my wifi stopped working. It wouldn't connect. It would get a private ip assigned to it.
So, I switched on and off the wifi, changed the network settings several times by removing the wifi and adding it again, restarted the system, and when all of these didn't help, I phoned Apple support. After asking me to fiddle with the router, computer and several other things, he accepted that the new update was having issues. And I needed to roll back to the old version. Has anyone run into the same problem? Is there anyway to fix this?

The 2014 Men's ASP Qualifying Series are over, but the 2015 World Surf League roster not yet been fully decided. Let's take a look at who's already in the elite surfing club before the Pipe Masters.
It's been a long year. The adventure of the Qualifying Series is a tough road, especially for those who end the season touching the bubble. You need nerves of steel.
The final lineup for next year's 2015 World Surf League will only be decided with the conclusion of the Billabong Pipe Masters, but there is already good news for a few surfers.
Presently, the following surfers have secured their place through the ASP Qualifying Series: Australians Matt Banting, Julian Wilson, Adam Melling and Matt Wilkinson; Brazil's Wiggolly Dantas, Jadson Andre, and Italo Ferreira; and Hawaii surfers Payne and Keanu Asing.
Brett Simpson and Ricardo Christie could qualify if Julian Wilson and Jadson Andre hold their place on the ASP World Championship Tour (WCT) rankings.
"I have to wait for Pipe now. I kinda have mixed vibes, I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch and there are a few scenarios that could go down," explains Richard Christie.
Tomas Hermes and Garrett Parkes could also move in if Adam Melling and Matt Wilkinson climb into the top 22 on the WCT rankings next week.
Banzai Pipeline will decide. Let the game begin.

Foreclosure Threat Up 24% For Homeowners
The big unknown for the coming months, however, is President Barack Obama's plan to help up to 9 million borrowers avoid foreclosure through refinanced mortgages or modified loans. The Obama administration expects its plans to make a big dent in the foreclosure crisis. But it remains to be seen whether the lending industry will fully embrace it, despite $75 billion in incentive payments.
The faltering economy is causing the housing crisis to spread. Nationwide, nearly 804,000 homes received at least one foreclosure-related notice from January through March, up from about 650,000 in the same time period a year earlier, according to RealtyTrac Inc., a foreclosure listing firm. During the quarter, Ohio was the state with the seventh highest number of homes seeing foreclosure activity with about 31,600 receiving at least one filing, up 1 percent from a year earlier.
In March, more than 340,000 properties were affected nationwide, up 17 percent from February and 46 percent from a year earlier. Ohio had 12,600 homes receiving foreclosure notices during the month, 12 percent more than during March 2008.
Foreclosures "came back with a vengeance" last month and are likely to keep rising, said Rick Sharga, RealtyTrac's senior vice president for marketing.
CBS News correspondent Anthony Mason reports the president's mortgage relief plan should help many borrowers. But soaring unemployment is prolonging the problem. Jim Carr of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition says the 2 million jobs lost just this year "translates into a potential 800,000 new foreclosures. And so this crisis is nowhere near done. It's not over."
Nearly 191,000 properties completed the foreclosure process and were repossessed by banks in the quarter. While the number was down 13 percent from the fourth quarter of last year, it is expected to rise through the summer and then possibly taper off.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the big mortgage finance companies, together with many banks had temporarily halted foreclosures in advance of Mr. Obama's plan. Now armed with the details about which borrowers can qualify, the mortgage industry has begun foreclosing on ineligible borrowers.
The Treasury Department has signed contracts with six big loan servicing companies - including Citigroup, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase. Many have already started processing loans as part of the government's "Making Home Affordable" plan.
"We need to get the long-term solutions for these folks," Shaun Donovan, Mr. Obama's housing secretary, said in an interview.
In the coming months, Donovan said, there are still likely to be increased foreclosures, especially from vacant houses, second homes and those owned by speculators. None of those properties will qualify for a loan modification. However, he remained optimistic that overall foreclosures could start to decrease this summer.
But even industry executives who emphatically support the plan emphasize that it's success isn't guaranteed.
"The effectiveness of the plan overall obviously is going to depend on the level of industry participation," said Paul Koches, general counsel of Ocwen Financial, which collects loan payments on subprime loans.
Many borrowers and consumer groups claim the modifications offered by the lending industry don't do enough to help cash-strapped homeowners, despite more than a year of public prodding from regulators. Fewer than half of loan modifications made at the end of last year actually reduced borrowers' payments by more than 10 percent, data released last month show.
Plus, the lending industry has been swamped by the unprecedented wave of calls from distressed borrowers. "You can't wave a magic wand and make the loans suddenly modified," Sharga said. "They're all individual transactions."
In RealtyTrac's report, Nevada, Arizona, California and Florida had the nation's top foreclosure rates. In Nevada, one in every 27 homes received a foreclosure filing, while the number was one in every 54 in Arizona. Rounding out the top 10 were Illinois, Michigan, Georgia, Idaho, Utah and Oregon.
Meanwhile, housing construction plunged to the second lowest level on record in March, providing a sobering sign that the worst housing slump in decades has not yet ended.
The Commerce Department said Thursday construction of new homes and apartments dropped by 10.8 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 510,000 units. That was the second lowest construction pace on records that go back 50 years.

Having spent 1,5 years as the electromechanician, Zakharchenko engaged in entrepreneurial work connected with coal industry.
In 2010, a branch of the Kharkhov "Oplot" public organization, which was then headed by Zakharchenko, was established in Donetsk. The purpose of "Oplot" is the provision of social, financial, legal and psychological assistance to the families of policemen killed in the performance of their duties. Also, "Oplot" assisted disabled soldiers. Members of the organization were actively struggling with the glorification of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. "Oplot" controlled the maintenance in proper condition of the Great Patriotic War's monuments.
In 2014, Alexander Zakharchenko actively participated in the struggle for freedom and independence of the Donetsk People's Republic.
After the so-called "Euromaidan" in Kiev in the winter 2013-2014 and the subsequent illegal change of power, Alexander Zakharchenko took a tough antimaidan stance and joined the forces of the militia, which began to take shape at the time, protesting against the coup in the country. The main task for Zakharchenko was returning for residents of Donbass possibilities to determine their own future, political system, to decide in which country they would live, what language to speak. After Donbass once again was not heard, he had to take up arms.
In the spring of 2014, on April 16, Alexander Zakharchenko headed a group of armed men who occupied the building of the Donetsk city administration.
After the referendum on the independence of the DPR on May 11, 2014, Zakharchenko first became the military commander of Donetsk, and later Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic.
He was "Oplot" division commander of the DPR army until 7 July, 2014.

This decision was accepted almost unanimously. On the same day Zakharchenko took the oath of allegiance to the republic's people and took up his duties.
In October 2014, Alexander Zakharchenko filed documents to the DPR CEC as a candidate for the post of the Head of the Donetsk People's Republic, becoming the first registered candidate for the post.
The elections were held on November 2. 75% of DPR citizens voted for Zakharchenko. The inauguration of the elected leader of the republic was held on November 4, in Donetsk Academic Musical and Drama Theater.
In January 2015, Alexander Zakharchenko launched the first stage of restoration works in the cities of the Republic. From January to May 2015, the works had been carried out in 293 objects of various localities of the Donetsk People's Republic.
In February 2015, at the first congress of public movement "Donetsk Republic" Alexander Zakharchenko was unanimously elected Chairman of the movement.
On February 12, 2015, Alexander Zakharchenko attended the negotiations in Minsk. Leaders of "Normandy Four" countries participated in the negotiations. As a result of negotiations, the Package of Measures on the implementation of the Minsk agreements was signed, which provides for the "immediate and comprehensive ceasefire in certain areas of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions" from February 15, at 00:00 Kyiv time. This paragraph of the Package of Measures is not carried out by Ukraine so far.
On February 17, 2015, Alexander Zakharchenko was wounded in the leg during the battle for Debaltsevo. For successful military operation the DPR MPs awarded Alexander Zakharchenko with the title "Hero of the DPR" and extraordinary military rank of "colonel". Also, after the liberation of Debaltsevo Alexander Zakharchenko was awarded with the Medal of "Glory of the LPR," he was also awarded with the title of "major general" of the Lugansk People's Republic. This decision was made by the LPR MPs.
In August 2015, the DPR Head Alexander Zakharchenko launched the second phase of the restoration of infrastructure and houses. According to the programme of reconstruction, the second stage includes: construction of 111 new single-family houses, reconstruction works in 2,000 private residential buildings, restoration works in 1189 multi-apartment buildings etc.
Thanks to the efforts of Alexander Zakharchenko and the team of Donbass patriot formed by him, it became possible to prevent a humanitarian disaster in the Donetsk People's Republic and the economic collapse caused by the blockade of the DPR by Ukraine.
