The growth mindset refers to the belief that human capability isn't set in stone at birth but remains malleable throughout a person's life depending on how they approach it. A growth mindset is, therefore, the belief that abilities can be developed with the right environment and inputs.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has embraced the growth mindset and made lifelong learning a priority at Microsoft. After taking the helm four years ago, the value of the company has tripled, indicating that this approach has significant merits and potential business value.
This approach was reflected in the sessions at the recent Microsoft Inspire conference in Las Vegas where the concept of a growth mindset was explored. This is highly unusual for a technology organisation: in the past, these conferences focused on new products and roadmaps and didn't consider the so-called soft skills that people need to contribute to organisational success.
However, it's the right approach because being able to shift individuals' and the organisation's mindset will be crucial as rapidly-evolving technology continues to fundamentally alter the world we live and operate in. Those working in technology organisations will need to move beyond simply giving customers what they want and, instead, look for ways to understand and meet their unarticulated needs. That takes listening and empathy, which often requires significant mindset shift. If team members don't believe they're capable of such a shift, they'll be unlikely to achieve it.
With the idea that everything is possible, organisations are embracing the growth mindset to set healthy boundaries around work. Since work tends to fill whatever capacity is allocated to it, people need a strong incentive to set clear boundaries. Companies are beginning to realise that a solid, productive eight-hour day is far more valuable than seeing staff work 18-hour days with minimal sleep, inadequate nutrition, and lack of engagement.
To some extent, the acceptance of this idea of bringing a person's whole self to work stems from the rise of the multi-generational workplace. Increasing numbers of millennials in the workplace demand that their work carries meaning and that they achieve the elusive work/life balance. Therefore, they seek opportunities for learning and development. The better an organisation can fulfil this need for growth, the more likely its employees are to be engaged, productive, and valuable.
It's important for companies to remember that fostering a culture of lifelong learning, work/life balance, and a growth mindset doesn't need to come at the expense of hitting targets, reaching revenue goals, and achieving key performance indicators (KPI). Instead, a growth mindset should be seen as an invaluable tool in achieving these things.
It's also an essential part of preparing for the future workforce. As identified in CompTIA's IT Industry Outlook 2018, meeting the demands of the future workforce requires flexibility, and new approaches to training.*
Part of this flexibility is recognising the need for a culture shift that acknowledges that the growth mindset has a role in the future workplace.
This is particularly important for organisations in the technology industry because of the constant and rapid pace of change. It's essential to equip employees with as many tools as possible to help them adjust and evolve effectively.
Helping to improve employees' resilience and ability to navigate change is a crucial element of strong leadership. Becoming a better leader and creating better environments for people to thrive in should be priority number one for business owners and managers. A growth mindset is one of the most effective ways to achieve this.

SecurStar DriveCrypt PlusPack 3.90G | 5.62 MB
Pre-Boot Authentication: The user is authenticated by means of pre-boot authentication (PBA) before the system is started and therefore before the operating system is booted. This kind of authentication cannot be manipulated, PBA therefore guarantees maximum security. Neither keys nor passwords are stored on the PC's hard disk. All of the information required to boot the operating system is derived from the password. This makes the use of hard disk tools for analyzing the hard disk completely ineffective. PBA in provided by a system call BootAuth and is fully graphical, allowing organizations to customize the login screen.
Full Disk Encryption: Automatic & transparent FDE offers several key advantages relative to file encryption. FDE secures the system and temp files that often contain sensitive data but are missed by file encryption. Even removing the drive itself does not give access to any file or directory structure. FDE is performed sector by sector without creating temp or backup files: As a result, large files will decrypt without delay whereas file encryption is normally much slower. FDE also avoids such time consuming tasks as secure deletes of temp files or work files in clear text, and obviates the need to do a full delete on disks to be discarded.
How does it work? As data is read from the hard disk, DCPP automatically decrypts the data before it is loaded into memory. When data is written back to the hard disk, it is automatically re-encrypted. This process is completely transparent to the user or any application programs, the data is caught "on the fly" as it transfers back and forth between the hard disk and memory. Consequently, users don't need to remember to decrypt or re-encrypt their data, or change the normal operation of their PC. In addition, only individual sectors are decrypted at any one time, not the whole hard disk. Other products that claim to be "on the fly" decrypt an entire file and load it into memory, creating significant security risks. DCPP is smarter and more secure because it decrypts only the specific sectors of a file that are in use. Unprotected data never resides on a DCPP encrypted disk.
Features and Benefits:
• The ability to handle up to 16 terabytes of encrypted data. • 256-bit military strength encryption using proven cryptographic algorithms. • Easy to install, deploy and use. • Powerful Pre-Boot Authentication. • Completely transparent to the user. • Sector level protection. • Anti dictionary and brute-force attack mechanisms, due to the nature of DCPP it is the most difficult system to attack compared to anything else available. • Special functionality the prevents passwords from being sniffed/captured. • Minimal administration and user training. • Supports many kinds of media (hard disks, floppy disks, ZIP, JAZ, etc…) • Ability to validate the integrity of the encryption methods used by DCPP.
New version of DriveCrypt Plus Pack, version 3.9 has now been released.
These new version now compatible with the new Microsoft Vista (32 Bit) operating system and optimized the on-the-fly encryption/decryption process is now even faster.

Environmental Protection Agency.
Notice; announcement of a program to assist not-for-profit organizations that wish to work with public entities that wish to adopt environmental management systems (EMS); request for applications.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces its intention to select and provide technical assistance for up to five existing not-for-profit organizations in order to increase their capacity to assist public entities wishing to adopt environmental management systems (EMS). The assistance provided to these organizations will include helping with developing business plans, providing relevant EMS materials to facilitate each organization's existing EMS assistance activities, train-the-trainer work sessions on ways to address the needs of public agencies, and other marketing services. Each organization selected will also gain increased visibility, attention, and recognition of the key role they can play in meeting the growing needs of public agencies wishing to adopt EMSs.
This program is a continuation of two highly successful projects led by U.S. EPA to directly support various public agencies as they develop EMSs. The program is designed to build on these efforts by increasing the capacity of existing EMS service providers to meet the needs of public agencies. This project is being led by EPA's Office of Water, in conjunction with EPA's Office of Air and Radiation and Office of Compliance.Start Printed Page 2652
Letters of Application from interested organizations should be submitted no later than March 15, 2002.
Letters of Application should be submitted to James Horne, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Wastewater Management, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, Mail Code 4201M, (202) 564-0571 and Craig Ruberti, Global Environment and Technology Foundation, 7010 Little River Turnpike, Suite 460, Annandale, Virginia, 22003.Start Further Info

I. Background
Public entities manage complex large-scale problems of operating and maintaining physical plants; power, wastewater, water, and roadway systems; and managing solid and hazardous waste. As the front line implementers of environmental programs, they are responsible for the health and safety of hundreds millions of citizens. Faced with shrinking resources and aging infrastructure, public entities must manage their operations in a more efficient manner, at lower cost, and with less environmental impact. Environmental management systems (EMS) are an important emerging tool to help public entities do this.
EMSs follow Shewart and Deming's "plan, do, check, and act" systems methodology and can be implemented by organizations of all sizes and types. They provide a set of problem identification and problem-solving tools that can be implemented in an organization in many different ways, depending on its activities and needs. Based on the organization's core values, business goals, and environmental commitments, employees examine their environmental footprint and the procedures they use to manage environmental issues. They incorporate strong operational controls and environmental responsibilities into existing job descriptions and work instructions. They set measurable objectives and targets, monitor, measure, and evaluate progress, "find and fix" environmental problems as they occur, and provide top management with a feedback loop to assess progress and make appropriate changes to the management system. The various elements of the EMS work together to provide opportunities to continually improve management of environmental impacts both in regulated areas and in areas that are not regulated (e.g., odor, water or electricity use, and growth management).
Key elements of the EMS include:
- An environmental policy statement endorsed and actively promoted by senior management;
- A planning process that identifies the organization's environmental impacts and integrates their management into the organization's regular business and operations decisions;
- An organizational structure that places environmental responsibilities directly with employees in operational functions that deal with significant environmental impacts;
- An implementation process that stresses training, communication, operational controls, and reaching measurable goals—all oriented toward reducing risks of significant environmental impacts and continually improving environmental management;
- Measurement and auditing procedures that focus on "finding and fixing" problems and reducing the chances of their recurring;
- Periodic top management review of the EMS to ensure continual improvement.
Since 1996, the most commonly used framework for an EMS is the ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The ISO was established in 1947 with the mission of developing voluntary technical standards to promote international trade in goods and services.
For the last several years the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has been promoting the adoption of Environmental Management Systems (EMS) to help public entities, particularly local governments, improve their environmental performance beyond compliance, prevent pollution, promote greater environmental stewardship across the workforce, and improve their overall efficiency.
The US EPA's Office of Water has played a critical leadership role in bringing EMS capacity to local governments. This leadership has continued and expanded to include other headquarters and regional offices. Since 1997, in partnership with the Global Environment & Technology Foundation (GETF), the US EPA has established two EMS initiatives to help local governments test the applicability and benefits of an EMS on environmental performance, compliance, pollution prevention, and stakeholder involvement in government operations. In all, 23 local governments have participated in developing and implementing their own EMSs through these two initiatives.
Using a four-phased implementation strategy over a two-year period, each participating public entity has received EMS training, coaching, and technical assistance, as well as EMS implementation materials and toolkits specially designed for the public sector. Five intensive week long training sessions, individual bi-weekly phone consultations, and on-site visits provided additional implementation guidance. Monthly "all-hands" calls allowed participants to share their experiences and keys to success and engage in shared problem solving opportunities. Information and data were collected about the benefits, barriers, and keys to success and resource requirements of EMS implementation in a variety of public sector organizations. Participants experienced convincing environmental and economic benefits over the first two-year project period in the following areas, as evidenced by the statements below:
- Environmental Compliance and Performance: "With regard to environmental compliance, we have a better understanding of our legal requirements. We have better-trained employees whose competence in their work areas is critical to the environment. We expect that our EMS will increase our ability to stay in compliance."—Tim Hall, Superintendent, Massachusetts Corrections Institute, Norfolk, MA.
- Recycling: "Building on the momentum generated early on in the program, we moved forward with a recycling program for lab waste that has diverted 18,000 lbs of waste from the landfill in a three-month period.—Oscar Pancorbo, Director, Wall Experiment Station Laboratory, Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, Lawrence, MA.
- Water Conservation: "In our efforts to conserve potable water use in our operations we realized we have 1 million gallons of rainwater available in our sedimentation basin per large storm event. By using this water for dust control and soil compaction we estimate conserving about 800,000 gallons of potable water and $1,500 in water fees on an annual basis.—Mark zu Hone, EMS Project Manager, Department of Environmental Services, Refuse Disposal Division, City of San Diego, CA.
- Efficient Regulatory Tracking: "Implementing an EMS enables us to embark on a huge project we always knew we needed to do but could never find the time for—to consciously Start Printed Page 2653identify all our regulatory requirements and formally designate responsibility for compliance and updates. We always felt we had a handle on this, but our procedure to identify our legal requirements now relieves worries that we might have missed something.—Pam Badger, Special Waste Supervisor, King County Solid Waste Division, Seattle, WA.
- Resource Conservation: "In light of this summer's expected electricity shortages and water rationing we have set objectives and targets that will focus on resource conservation for both our bus and rail maintenance operations. Through these conservation initiatives we plan to save about 10% of our budgeted utilities which could result in $85,000—$90,000."—Kevin Considine, Environmental Engineer, Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon, Portland, OR.
- Operational Efficiency: "Using the process flow diagrams (PFDs) from the aspects investigation phase of the EMS, the Safety Committee has begun preparation of job hazard analyses (JHA) for approximately 200 work activities at the Bureau. It is estimated that the use of the PFDs will save approximately 300 hours of JHA development time—amounting to approximately $5,000 in savings."—Fred Murphy, Special Programs Manager, New Hampshire Department of Transportation, Concord, NH.
- Air Quality: "The Port has been significantly involved in the development and implementation of the Houston One-Hour Ozone State Implementation Plan (SIP). To fulfill our role in this effort we have set a target to reduce our NOX emissions by 320 tons per year, which goes well beyond EPA's cost effectiveness guidelines. The PHA has been testing innovative technologies to reduce emissions and has committed to implementing these technologies through our EMS efforts to achieve this goal."—Laura Fiffick, Environmental Affairs Manager, Port of Houston Authority, Houston, TX.
More information about these two projects can be found at www.getf.org/projects/muni.cfm.
II. The National Public Entity EMS Resource Center—The Peer Center
The two EMS initiatives described above have helped to demonstrate the relevance of EMSs in the public sector and established a solid basis for expanding EMS adoption for public agencies, especially local governments. The strong enthusiasm and tangible environmental results with EMS through these initiatives suggest substantial long-term benefits from EMS implementation and ensure the parallel development of sustainable management practices in both the private and public sectors. Public entity EMS implementation has sparked interest from government leaders around the world. To take advantage of this momentum US EPA and GETF have launched the National Public Entity Environmental Management System Resource Center—the National PEER Center.
The National PEER Center is a virtual and live clearinghouse of information and people whose mission is to promote the adoption of EMSs in public entities, particularly local governments.
The PEER Center's goals are three-fold:
- To promote the understanding and adoption of EMSs by public entities
- To facilitate peer-to-peer exchange of information and experiences and build awareness of EMSs as a tool to improve environmental performance
- To build regional EMS competence and technical assistance capacity through the creation of Local Resource Centers.
The National PEER Center Web site is currently in place (www.peercenter.net) and links users to a national database of key resources such as sample EMS documentation, local and state EMS programs in place, EMS service providers, detailed descriptions of the EMS implementation phases, trainers, mentors and course providers, as well as training materials, web links, contact information, and case studies. The PEER Center serves to demystify the elements of environmental management systems and programs. It will deliver field-tested EMS tools, training, mentoring, and problem solving strategies on-line to help public entities systematically manage both their regulated and non-regulated environmental impacts.
III. Local Resource Centers
Critical to the effectiveness and success of the PEER Center will be the establishment of Local Resource Centers (LRCs) to advance the use of EMS in public entities. Building on individual EMS skills and competencies, and leveraging the successes and skills of the other LRCs and the National PEER Center, each LRC will serve as a high-quality EMS resource center for the public entities in their area, facilitating information transfer, providing training, and government-to-government mentoring in order to maximize public entities' time and resource investment in EMS implementation. The joint efforts of the National PEER Center and the LRCs will reach many more public entities, particularly municipalities and increase the ability of existing EMS service providers to advance the use of EMSs by agencies in their areas.
Although no direct financial assistance will be provided, the PEER Center staff will act as the initial support mechanism for the Local Resource Centers, providing business-planning assistance, field-tested training techniques and materials, implementation strategies, and assistance with outreach plans and marketing materials. In areas where Local Resource Centers do not exist, the PEER Center staff will work with other local entities in that area that have implemented EMSs and help provide information to agencies interested in learning more about EMSs and possibly developing them for their operations.
Information transfer between the PEER Center, the LRCs, and various public entities implementing EMSs will ensure access to the most current tools, keys to success, and lessons learned.
Activities that the LRCs selected under this program will be expected to undertake include, but are not limited to:
- Leveraging their existing EMS expertise to provide training, technical assistance, tools and materials that will facilitate EMS implementation in the public sector;
- Maintaining a database of local/regional EMS service providers, public entities who have implemented EMS, including but not limited to those that are ISO 14001 certified;
- Using their data, information, resources and key contacts to encourage EMS information transfer and facilitate government-to-government mentoring;
- Leading regular and frequent outreach activities to increase awareness and understanding of EMS applicability among public entities in their local/regional area;
- Collecting data and information and preparing case studies about EMS implementation in public entities and assisting in the dissemination of this information across public organizations;
- Facilitating information transfer between the PEER Center and other Local Resource Centers to ensure access to the most current data, information, tools, keys to success, and lessons learned; and
- Facilitating EMS workshops and conferences in their local/regional area
If at all possible, EPA intends to select existing not-for-profit organizations that are already providing some degree of EMS services in their respective areas. The Local Resource Centers will offer a menu of EMS services including—EMS training, technical expertise, field-tested tools, information, speakers/mentors, Start Printed Page 2654workshops and conferences, outreach, and EMS implementation assistance.
IV. Benefits of Becoming a Local Resource Center
Each Local Resource Center will receive, at no cost, extensive start-up support, a full catalogue of EMS implementation tools from the Global Environment & Technology Foundation (GETF) and materials that have already been field-tested and used in the public sector, including:
- Assistance in developing a business plan, and business development materials.
- An extensive suite of field-tested, high-quality and successful materials for public entities: training techniques, implementation strategies, document samples, outreach and presentation toolkits.
- Regular train-the-trainer work sessions on EMS implementation in public sector organizations with other LRCs and national partners.
- An extensive database of national mentors and experts with hands-on experience to assist in local/regional EMS outreach and implementation.
- Support services and mentoring from existing public entities that are implementing an EMS.
- Assistance with marketing services and opportunities.
- National attention, visibility, and partnership opportunities from the PEER Center and its partners and stakeholders.
In addition to the assistance provided by the National Peer Center as described above, each Local Resource Center will be authorized to use the National PEER Center Logo endorsing their selection to provide high quality EMS services to public entities as part of an EPA sponsored competitive process.
V. Criteria for Selecting the Local Resource Centers
Up to five organizations will be selected to serve as Local EMS Resource Centers (LRCs) based on the following criteria:

What every best Humidifiers has:
- Simple maintenance.
- Low noise.
- Maintenance reminders.
The Honeywell HCM-350 cool mist humidifier earns very positive reviews thanks to its effectiveness, ease of use, and ease of cleaning. Operation is simple and straightforward and it's an especially great choice for those with hard water.
Basic, but it works well. While the Honeywell HCM-350 may not have as many features as other top-reviewed models, reviewers say that it's simple to use -- just a single dial to set fan speed -- and efficient. The water tank has a wide mouth and is easy to fill -- and a sturdy built-in handle makes carrying the tank a snap. One feature it does have is a UV lamp to kill germs, but experts say that its effectiveness is dubious, making this more hype than help. There's a filter that needs to be periodically replaced, but it's inexpensive. Experts largely say that the HCM-350 is designed to make ongoing maintenance easier than with most competing humidifiers. "The Honeywell didn't have any of the difficult-to-reach areas and small spaces that some of the ultrasonic humidifiers had, and we could easily fit our entire hand into the water tank to clean it," BabyGearLab.com reports. As an added plus, the tank and the base are dishwasher safe.
Plenty of moisture for medium sized rooms. This humidifier is rated to humidify a space of around 500 square feet, though TheSweethome.com says it is best with rooms of 400 square feet or less -- which covers all but the largest rooms. The tank, to some reviewers' concern, holds only a gallon of water; because of this, the machine can go through two full tanks a day at maximum output. However, the TheSweethome.com notes that the tank is easy to fill in an average bathroom sink.
In the ear of the beholder. We saw split opinions regarding noise. As an evaporative unit, noise levels will certainly be higher than with an ultrasonic model. TheSweethome.com tests sound levels from one meter away and says that while the HCM-350 is loud enough to be noticed, it's not loud enough to be objectionable at top speed, and drops down to barely noticeable levels at medium speed. The editors add that the pitch of the sound helps minimize any issues. "It's a pleasant white noise that sounds like a box fan on a medium to low setting," they say. BabyGearLab.com downgrades the HCM-350 quite a bit more over its noise, while conceding that, "During in-home testing, we actually found the Honeywell's fan noise at the lowest setting to be soothing and felt that some parents may appreciate the added "white noise" benefit." ConsumerReports.org also weighs in on noise level and rates it at Very Good at its highest fan speed, but offers little additional insight.
Well-made to reduce leaks. TheSweethome.com likes that the tank on the Honeywell HCM-350 is made from a single piece of plastic, without the seams that tend to develop leaks over time with other humidifiers -- and something that will help make sure the HCM-350 survives to the end of its generous three-year warranty. Because this is an evaporative humidifier, there are no issues with a fine white dust settling on furniture; a byproduct of minerals in water, especially hard water, that's unavoidable with ultrasonic models (even those with good filtration), and the source of lots of user complaints with such models. The HCM-350 is physically large compared to some ultrasonic models -- so large that it might be a tight fit on some nightstands. User feedback, while not universally positive, is better than we often see with most humidifiers.

Lena Dunham has called the video for Kanye West's song 'Famous' "sickening".
The clip features wax figures of naked celebrities laying in bed. Included in the video's roll call are Swift, George W. Bush, West, Kim Kardashian West, Amber Rose, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Caitlyn Jenner, Bill Cosby, Donald Trump, Anna Wintour and Ray J.
The video is apparently inspired by Vincent Desiderio's painting 'Sleep'.
Dunham published a post on her Facebook page, in which she described it as "one of the more disturbing 'artistic' efforts in recent memory".
As Pitchfork reports, the Girls creator wrote: "Let's break it down: at the same time Brock Turner is getting off with a light tap for raping an unconscious woman and photographing her breasts for a group chat… As assaults are Periscoped across the web and girls commit suicide after being exposed in ways they never imagined… While Bill Cosby's crimes are still being uncovered and understood as traumas for the women he assaulted but also massive bruises to our national consciousness… Now I have to see the prone, unconscious, waxy bodies of famous women, twisted like they've been drugged and chucked aside at a rager? It gives me such a sickening sense of dis-ease."
While she recognised that West was presumably trying to comment on some of society's issues, she said watching the video made her "feel sad and unsafe and worried".
"I'm sure that Bill Cosby doll being in the bed alongside Donald Trump is some kind of statement, that I'm probably being trolled on a super high level. I know that there's a hipper or cooler reaction to have than the one I'm currently having. But guess what? I don't have a hip cool reaction, because seeing a woman I love like Taylor Swift (fuck that one hurt to look at, I couldn't look), a woman I admire like Rihanna or Anna [Wintour], reduced to a pair of waxy breasts made by some special effects guy in the Valley, it makes me feel sad and unsafe and worried for the teenage girls who watch this and may not understand that grainy roving camera as the stuff of snuff films.
"I know that art's job is to make us think in ways that aren't always tidy or comfortable. But this feels different."
She concluded: "Here's the thing, Kanye: you're cool. Make a statement on fame and privacy and the Illuminati or whatever is on your mind! But I can't watch it, don't want to watch it, if it feels informed and inspired by the aspects of our culture that make women feel unsafe even in their own beds, in their own bodies."

Nursing is a health care career pursued by millions of men and women round the world. While children are the ones going by means of all of the pain, dad and mom also have much to deal with too. The last article is from BBC Information that was published a day in the past from the second one. Science allows children to make play dough, cookies, slime and all sorts of other gross and fun issues.
I did examine it on the time, and it did get me considering a really preliminary approach in genetics and things like that. Science as we speak try to create a technology that may generate electricity with out the usage of gas, which might be much better for the environment.
We did talk internally about the optics of having the primary person to be announced be solely a white man," Berman instructed BuzzFeed News on Tuesday, although he harassed that wasn't the only reason they added Hanna-Attisha and Villa-Komaroff.
Under the brand new emissions requirements, automobiles sold in the United States would be required to emit about one-third less carbon dioxide by a 2016 deadline. Whereas the brand new gasoline and emission requirements for automobiles and vehicles will save billions of barrels of oil, they are expected to value shoppers an extra US$1,300 (S$1,950) per car by the time the plan is complete in 2016.
Even on a extra fundamental degree, the information usually contains the climate, and this will have an effect on whether or not we get wet when we head exterior or remember to bring an umbrella. To children that is the best thing on the planet, and for us as dad and mom we can not think of a greater position model for our children than a police officer.

Appellate Success Secured on Behalf of Retail Client
By: Carter Conboy
Carter Conboy obtained a favorable decision from the Appellate Division, Third Department which affirmed the lower Court's Decision and Order dismissing the plaintiff's Complaint in a trip and fall case against our retail client.
In this personal injury action, the plaintiff alleged that he suffered a fractured hip as a result of tripping and falling due to an alleged chipped tile in the front vestibule of the defendant's grocery store. Carter Conboy successfully moved for summary judgment and the plaintiff appealed the decision.
The Appellate Division, Third Department held that the defendant established prima facie entitlement to judgment by demonstrating that the small depression of approximately one-quarter inch depth in the tile was a trivial defect as a matter of law. In opposition, the plaintiff's expert affidavit of an architect was based on assumptions, unsupported by evidentiary facts, and the Court found that his opinion was speculative and could not be relied upon. The Court noted that the expert did not inspect the scene or have any actual measurements, and he acknowledged that an inspection would be necessary to confirm his assumptions. As such, the defendant was properly entitled to summary judgment dismissing the Complaint.

|This is Mike Vogel parodying local Portland anchors.
The last 25 seconds almost made me pee my pants.
I'm posting it tonight because. IT. IS. SNOWING.
WTF Portland?!
Our newscasters tend to give the same panicked reviews
of snow that SSG would if she read the news. In light of
wanting to keep you all as readers, I didn't mention that
we got TWO more inches of snow the other morning.
And SSG DROVE.
You are welcome.

AY CARUMBA that was hyterical. You know, those icicles would make great swizzle sticks...and that snow is so dry. if it ever snows down here it's the wet, mushy stuff.
[Wouldn't be pru-dent to mention that it was in the 60s here today, would it?]

Man, I thought it was a real news cast and then I was like, man people in Oregon aren't really with it, huh? Then I realized it was a parody and had to admit that it is people in VA who aren't really with it...but, then again, it has BEEN forever since we had so...so maybe I can blame it on that....
I am soooooooo moving to Oregon.

Okay, it's really not fair. Not fair! I want some. Me, me, me! And it's raining here. We might get a wintery mix tomorrow. That's code for the weather people not knowing what the heck it's going to do.
I am sorry that you are dealing with it again though. I know enough is enough.
Wait, was neighbor being arrested in his undies in the snow????

"ethereum minedrift rig med hindbær pi"
We know Ether mining is supposed to be ASIC-proof (for now) so I'd love to hear – or see – what kind of old-school mining setups the bigger miners are using and if they have invested in new gear or recycled old gear from their SHA256/Scrypt days?
According to CoinWars, based on today's difficulty, mining 1 ETH per day would require a hash rate of roughly 1600 MH/s. That's roughly 53 GPUs, for a total cost of roughly $12K in GPUs. Assuming that a mining server supports 7 GPUs, you must partition your GPUs into 8 servers. Conservatively, each server might cost an additional $500 for a motherboard, CPU, cables, RAM, HD and frame. This brings the total hardware cost to roughly $16K. Power will cost roughly $3,500 per year.
I would also recommend you buy an SSD as it is a just little bit expensive than HDD. So, you don't have to buy any 240 GB SSD or; higher 120GB is enough. The only things that will be going on the SSD will be OS, Drivers & mining software.
This is one of the most popular Bitcoin home ASIC miner. Despite its 9kg weight and an operating temperature of 10 degrees Celsius to 40 degrees Celsius, this miner only produces 51 dB of noise. This, according to the scale of noise, can only be compared to a refrigerator or a quiet office. As one of the best ASIC miners, it is capable of mining 0.07031 Bitcoins per month, and around 0.8554 in one year. This would translate to a monthly profit of $208. Its mining hash rate is 8.6 TH/s and comes with a power efficiency of 0.1 J/GH.
Now you're talking about difficulty increase of 100%, which with this rate is easily going to happen before summer, might even be by march. Hopefully price will increase as well, but at some point we'll be seeing a saturated market (especially once ETH goes PoS), so your prediction here is that 12-18months payback period. While i'd not speculate more than 6-8 months in the future. Because we can't possibly know what will happen once PoS happens.
I think this is the nature of cryptocurrencies, is code! and we will see all kinds of bugs and hacks, we will have to wait for better code, better currencies to really see more people trusting them, this will not happen in a day, and I don't think we will see a perfect cryptocoin.
From simple crypto investments (buy & hold), speculative day trades, investments in cloud mining contracts, to building a custom 12 GPU ethereum mining rig. Sound enough? Not for me, it was yesterday I decided to…
However, Ethereum also permits developers to build decentralized apps, also known as dapps, on top of its blockchain technology. Interestingly, the more apps are built, the more valuable the Ether becomes.
Regardless, the devs made a pretty sterling effort in making Ethereum ASIC/centralization resistant, but that resistance has been weakened now by the delay in PoS. But, that just means we get to mine longer, even if it's harder.
There are real figure heads who run Ethereum unlike Bitcoin, which is owned by nobody. Ethereum also features decentralized apps. The Ethereum blockchain is the base, and other people can build decentralized blockchains on top of Ethereum.
Looking for the most affordable Bitcoin mining hardware? Here is one for you. Released in December 2014, this device is a bit outdated but will work best for those who are looking for ways to save. Its power consumption is 590-watts, which makes it a good choice to those who are keen on conserving power. With a hash rate of 1.155 TH/s, this Bitcoin miner can create about 0.05 Bitcoins in one month.
The World Food Programme (WFP) has used Ethereum to deliver $1.4m in food vouchers, via the use of iris recognition scanners in camp supermarkets, to around 10,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan, a scheme it plans to expand tenfold in four camps.
I'm wondering why EVGA's 1080 Ti FTW3(both air and air and water cooled) have a dual BIOS if that is the case which I am fairly positive it is. I guess we just have an extra level of protection if we update the BIOS incorrectly.
You can click the Download button for the current driver or choose "Download Previous Drivers & Software" on the right hand side which will allow you to choose older versions that are known as great drivers for mining based on your cards such as:
However, there's a caveat here. In some cases, you'll be using your computer to run the mining hardware. Your computer has its own electricity draw on top of the mining hardware, and you'll need to factor that into your calculation.
Der er så den pudsighed, at windows lommeregneren i ikke-scientific mode regner som de gængse lidt for billige lommeregnere med kun 4 regninsarter – dvs at man har endda kopieret at den regner forkert ved blandet addition og multiplikation, sådan at forstå at 4+2*3 giver 18 i stedet for 10.

The name of the chipset produced by Nvidia or AMD for each card remains the same (such as RX 480). You'll notice that various models are available from different Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). For example, you might encounter the MSI Gaming Radeon RX 480.
Wow. You represent about 1/3 of the current network hash power at the moment then? (I know most people probably aren't actively mining, but still you would have been up there even at peak). Where, roughly, are you based?
Cryptomoney developers need us to trust their currencies for it to gain value, but by using it we are tester of their code with our money. While we discover these bugs and then suffer these hacks, you see all this daily traders and speculators doing all kind of tricks to make money every time the price change, you can see them in youtube, they would sell their mothers for a BTC.
"Will mining other coins when Ethereum becomes improfitable bring the same profit." – can anyone predict the future? The answer is that there will MOST LIKELY still be some coins you can turn a profit on. To what extent, who knows.
If you just want a very secure wallet and not necessarily hardware, consider https://www.ether.li/ – they have an excellent (dare I say perfect?) model with 2-out-of-3 multisig trustless keystore, where they provide one of the signatures with 2fa.
I don't understand these prices of card going from 100 to 1000$. Will be going for NVIDIA for altcoins. Maybe 2 cards for the start. Celeron, power supply and 4 gb RAM. My opinion is that it's better to mine low price and difficulty coins like Siacoin et cetera.
Hi T. It's really hard to make any definite claims about the profitability of mining, as it depends on how Bitcoin price and difficulty will move in the medium term… Try out the calculators with various price / difficulty scenarios which you consider likely. It seems China is clamping down on mining so difficulty might drop for a while until other countries can pick up the slack… but that's just a guess. It seems to me that the S9 will soon be eclipsed by the DragonMint miner, which claims to be 30% more efficient. However, we're still waiting for the… Read more »
Personally, I believe in diversification within the Ethereum realm: mining, buy-and-hold, momentum trading, mean-reversion trading and price arbitrage between exchanges. I believe in the incredible potential of a technology like Ethereum, but there are so many factors that could crush its market cap.
Pool Mining – This is where you team up with other miners to reduce the volatility of your returns. This means whether you get 5 ethere every 5 days or 1 ether every day. The advantage of this is you get a continuous stream of ether and you don't have to download the entire blockchain. Check out our guide on how to mine ethereum as part of a pool here.
I agree- after the bombs start hitting it just worth it to start unless you already have the hardware. Youre better of buying ethereum for the 20k as i take it you believe the price will keep rising or else you wouldnt look into mining?
I'm still mining Ethash on my 4GB cards and Equihash on my 2GB cards. I was a little afraid that mining would not remain profitable. I'm more confident that after ETH goes to POS there will still profitable alternatives with Ethash & Equishash algos. Today I'm mining ETH & ZEC.

BirdWeb: Seattle Audubon's Guide to the Birds of Washington State
Bird of the Week
Mountain Chickadee
Poecile gambeli
The Black-capped Chickadee may be most familiar to us, but Washington is home to four species of chickadees. Year-round, Mountain Chickadees prefer higher-elevation forests on the east side of the Cascade Mountains. When in the appropriate habitat, listen for a raspy "chickadee-dee," and look for the diagnostic small white "eyebrows."
Birding Site of the Week
Snoqualmie River Valley
Puget Trough
Located near Seattle, the Snoqualmie River Valley offers farmland, deciduous forest, conifer forest, and freshwater wetland habitats. Look for migrating songbirds and returning wintering ducks, geese, and swans. End the day by watching thousands of Vaux's Swifts return to roost at Frank Wagner Elementary School in Monroe.

This specific ISBN edition is currently not available.View all copies of this ISBN edition:
Now in full color with hundreds of new illustrations, this essential resource covers the broad spectrum of laboratory procedures that technicians need to perform effectively in the practice setting. It presents step-by-step coverage of the basics of all laboratory work-ups - microbiology, hematology, immunology, parasitology, urinalysis, and cytology - providing the latest information on the most widely used tests such as complete blood count and immunologic assays.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The addition of colour photos and tables throughout make for a much lighter read - the information is well presented. Procedure boxes are present throughout the text, and this makes the book a useful quick-reference guide to performing less familiar laboratory procedures in a clinical situation. The text also offers a detailed analysis of the chemistry and physiology behind the tests or procedures performed, which gives the reader a greater understanding of how results are generated. This is a huge advantage when interpreting results, particularly when unexpected results are obtained. This book would be a most welcome addition to the practice shelves. Although it may well be stationed in the practice laboratory, this does not do the text justice. It manages to bridge the gap between clinical veterinary medicine and laboratory medicine and, therefore, can provide useful information, from diagnostic sampling to the veterinary interpretation of results obtained. Despite being marketed for laboratory technicians, most veterinarians in practice would benefit from giving the book a quiet read.

The Mars Farm Odyssey is an international consortium of like minds (1). They are trying to find solutions to space farming, so that food can be grown on Mars. The alternative is shipping food to Mars, which is just not sustainable – it would cost nearly $1bn a year per person. The amount of resources involved in such a journey makes it extremely wasteful. But these like-minded scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs don't just have survival in mind. They want Mars to be a place for leisure and recreation as well. Which is why they believe cannabis could be grown as well.
Big and innovative ideas
At an event in Tel Aviv, Mars Farm held their first ever workshops (2). Discussions focused on vertical farming, urban farming, and recipes for space travel and Martian life. One workshop looked at developing a citizen science kit that will crowdsource how particular plants grow, making it possible to build controlled 'food computers' that robotically create the climate and nutrients that a plant needs. Thieme Hennis, a Dutch researcher who attended the meeting, said:
"With a complete model of the plant, and knowledge of these environmental factors (pH of the water, temperature, relative humidity, etc.) you would be able to predict the growth of a plant, and also steer the growth." (3)
The group in Tel Aviv came to the conclusion that the Mars food bars being developed by NASA are no way to live (4). They don't believe it's a long-term solution. While it may make survival possible, eating food bars all the time will become mundane, very quickly. Karin Kloosterman, cofounder of Flux, a start-up developing a plant monitoring device for urban farmers, says that "…food must fit humanity. It must evoke passions, our creativity, and our senses."
But progress is being made. In 2015, the International Space Station (ISS) successfully raised lettuce (5). Kloosterman envisions that on Mars itself food will be grown in hydroponic greenhouses without soil (6). These greenhouses will bear some resemblance to vertical farming on Earth (7). But there are many unique challenges when growing food on the red planet.
For example, Mars gets about half the sunlight Earth does (8), the gravity is much lower, and though there's water on the planet, it may not be drinkable (9).

Getting high on Mars
The group in Tel Aviv were also discussing whether beer or cannabis should be the preferred intoxicant on Mars. After all, just as humans want gustatory pleasure from food, we also want the pleasure that comes from altering our consciousness. We have consumed substances to change our consciousness for millennia. Every society all over the world does so in some form or another, for different reasons (e.g. recreation, religion, performance), and so a life on Mars without some drug will be a life that is missing something essentially human. Kloosterman said:
We'd let a small craft beer system on board and we'd make beer from recycled urine, but cannabis is, by far, getting the first vote by me.
Cannabis will be the easiest to produce, since we already know that it can be grown hydroponically. It will also be interesting to have a society in which alcohol features less prominently than cannabis. There will likely be fewer accidents, less violence and less health issues than if alcohol was the preferred Martian intoxicant. But there will also be some very hungry colonists. And so without a sustainable food system, being high on Mars will not be a very enjoyable experience.

The IIT High Energy Physics group currently includes eight faculty, two postdocs, several graduate students, and a number of part-time undergraduates. High Energy Physics is the study of matter at its most fundamental level. We know that the particles that make up the nuclei of atoms are themselves composed of quarks. Our research has focused on properties of neutrinos and strange (s), charm (c), and beauty (b) quarks, which we study in experiments at the nearby Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), located 40 miles west of IIT, as well as other venues around the world. Experiments in which we currently participate include the Daya Bay, DUNE, MicroBooNE, NOvA, and PROSPECT neutrino experiments — as well as the MICE muon cooling experiment, one aspect of our work on research and development for a possible Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider for the longer-term future.

In day to day clinical practice, chest pain appears as a very common symptom. Often, it becomes very difficult to recognize whether it is of importance in evaluation or to be ignored. In this article, major causes and differential diagnosis of chest pain along with corresponding remedies is discussed.
The main causes for chest pain include the following-
Cardiac causes must be evaluated with ECG, Echocardiography and chest X Ray. CK MB, Troponin and other markers. Computed tomography of the chest, MRI, transesophageal echocardiography, and aortic root angiography all have a high sensitivity and specificity for detection of a dissection or minor anomalies.

Pulmonary causes of chest pain are initially evaluated with a chest x-ray. In patients with dyspnoea, pulse oximetry or an arterial blood gas analysis is indicated. In the setting of moderate to high suspicion for pulmonary embolism, a helical CT scan of the chest or a ventilation/perfusion lung scan with or without duplex Doppler examination of lower extremities is an appropriate initial approach. A negative D-dimer helps exclude the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism and is most helpful when the clinical suspicion is low.

The chest pain is very common sign we happen to face in our daily practice. Not all the cases of chest pain are critical, but we cannot ignore its existence. A simple chest pain caused due to underlying major cause tends to become fatal. All the needful investigations must urgently be carried out and diagnosis of chest pain must be confirmed as an emergency. Only after correct and timely diagnosis, the prognosis, plan of treatment and further management can be done to save the life. Homoeopathy being holistic in approach, has the most effective and fastest curing powers, and must be applied very skillfully for assuring sure shot cure.

Dear Friends,
today is a very important day within the closing of the cycle we are in right now. In my post about the Blessings and Challenges that the Equinox brought into the awakening game, I mentioned how what is ending now – has begun for us with the Galactic Alignment at the end of last year. An amazing chance for a consciously chosen mental death, is provided for us in this days of profound transitions and new beginnings.
It is time to top up our self-love account and let go of everything that does not serve our higher good and soul desires. So we can align with this higher frequencies of love, till our eyes are used to look at the world with a gaze that can see the imprint of the Golden Age of Aquarius appearing on the horizon. And while this is a day to look back, make amends and let go, it's also a day to surrender our free will to the guidance of our higher self and allow the blessings of synchronicity and divine manifestation, to create the world we truly desire.
A personal message to all my facebook friends!! FB is limiting the distribution of my posts daily more. If you resonate with my articles and are used to find my work shared in a group, rather sign up on my newsletter here to make sure you get the information!!! Just type in your e-mail address in the prepared field!! Over time I might not be able to put in the FB time, if it does not lead to what it is about – SPREADING THE WORD ;-)!
Since the Pisces New Moon we have collectively been provided with the special strength to manifest in harmony with the forces of mother nature, inside of us and outside. This connections we will need now, to navigate the intense waves the energies will create in our emotional, mental and physical bodies. After all it is our understanding of the different powers of the elements, that creates strength for our process of inner alchemy, and supports the development of our personal light body.
I have recorded for you four sacred songs and one prayer (please forgive the simple sound quality), to the forces of the elements. The easiest way you can make a personal inner connection with this powers is to: lay down flat on your back, breath deeply and relaxed (maybe read the article about conscious breathing before!), and allow the vibration of the music to seduce your body to remember!! The cycle of creation we are starting with the water element; next we turn to the air element; our body consciousness comes in with the earth element; and the leads to the will to live and the fire element ; the center of the circle is held by the element ether (our spirit), as the uniting force of ALL.As it is the nature of death and new beginnings, many of us can feel a gentle fear, similar to stage fright, creeping up our back these days, that might just be the energy field of the Ascended Master Lady Portia. Lady Portia is known as the Goddess of Justice and Opportunity, but even more important she is the Ascended Master of Initiation to the next level of higher vibration and consciousness. Which means collectively there is another elevation in energy to be expected for all of us!!
When the forces of the Threefold Flame of Ascension (which closes the connection between the higher heart (gold), the divine masculine (blue) and the divine feminine (pink) within us), the guidance of our higher self and the powers of nature touch base with another in a human body, immense power to rise into higher vibrations is created. So Portias job right now is to send us little test and see, if we can already handle a life in a vibration closer to the Golden Age of Aquarius and a Brotherhood of Men.
And of course my friends, where there are such rich blessings, there are also challenges involved. Such an intense astrological event is always a gateway to shift our physical DNA into higher frequencies. The changes created within the magnetic field off our body, directly effect the pineal gland of our brain, thru the high electromagnetic activities of the Lunar Eclipse. It causes the gland to produce an increased amount of melatonin, our body chemical connection to divine bliss, and it creates physical challenges.
*) Collectively our DNA is transforming to 12Strands, as the elements in our physical bodies are downloading new vibrations of the divine blueprint for humanity on to planet earth. That takes a bit of time and can create one or the other confusion on the way. Physical trouble as: Headaches, backaches, neck pains, having a cold, flu symptoms, digestive problems, muscular spasms or cramps.
*) Waves of intense emotions might come up, as the energies increase. And often human nature proofs, that before we are truly capable of releasing the pain and illusions we are holding, we have to feel the impact they have on us for one last time. Should you experience sudden waves of emotions, outbursts of anger or intense sadness, increased sensitivity on emotional, mental or physical level, all can be changed and evolved in vibration – by the violet flame of transformation. Find guidance steps and simple tools here!! In general the violet flame is an important tool for the inner transformation of feelings, which helps us unite our divine trinity through the power of colors. Dear Ones, I hope life is good to you!! I hope you let go with ease these days and look forward to the new beginnings your brave moves will bring. Let's be kind and patient with another and hold the awareness in our hearts, that "we are all just walking each other home"!! I hope the element music will smooth your transitions and create a field of oneness and love with the forces of planet earth!!! May you shift gracefully and see the fun in all the changes we collectively face, no matter how the 3d version looks like right now!
Blessings an Lots of Love ;-)!
