Interview with Johnny Romeo/
Johnny Romeo is an Australian artist acclaimed for his ability to mix text, explosive colour, and Pop savvy imagery into a style called "Neo Expressionist Pop." Considered Australia's leading Pop painter, Romeo fuses Neo-Expressionism and street art with a Pop edge to address issues of pop culture, celebrity fetish and consumerism. Romeo is represented by many of Australia's top galleries, and has had a number of consecutive sell-out exhibitions across Australia, New Zealand and the US. His work has been covered in publications such as the Sydney Morning Herald, Australian Art Collector and the Australian Art Review. Romeo has completed a collaborative work with world-renowned punk band Blink-182, and was featured in the URBAN POP II survey in Los Angeles.
Hi Johhny, today you selected for MoW 4 of your artworks inspired by music. Can you tell MoW why you chose those music artists ? What was the music behind the artworks ? What inspired you to create them ?
Pop culture has always fascinated and intrigued me. It constantly inspires me. Music is so much a part of pop culture. I've grown up listening to music. This aural energy is so important to my painting process. I'm also inspired by periods in music and places. For instance, I spend a lot of time in Los Angeles in particular Sunset Boulevard. The Strip intrigues me. I take a lot of motivation from it. The Rock clubs and nightclubs… to know that so many great musicians have played there. This inspires my work.
Why is music important to you and your art?
Music is all about sound and silence. Painting is all about action and reaction. They somehow work together and feed off each other. My actions are often motivated by music and song lyrics.
If you had to choose between the artworks presented today, which of your artwork would be your favorite ? And why ?
Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix. Both were fearless and free. Both were charismatic and dangerous. They were restless.
Can you tell MoW more about the techniques you used. How old is your technique? How did it start? How long does it take you to make an artwork?
My work is neo-expressionist pop art with a colourful collision of rock'n'roll swagger, comic book aesthetics, neo-expressionism and street art. GQ Magazine Australia described my work as being 'part punk, part pop'. It has evolved over time. As a kid, I was a graffiti artist. I've always loved colour. As a young child I always drew. I've always known I've wanted to be an artist. When I finished school I went to University and studied Art. Once I finished University and Art School, I immediately started exhibiting. It has been my life ever since.
It usually takes me approximately 80 hours to complete a work. I work 8 hours a days…. 7 days a week. I always work on 3 canvases at one time. Much of my work today deals with the way we connect with pop culture.
Do you have plans on creating new artworks inspired by music ?
Music is always part of my consciousness when I paint. Different types of music constantly inspire new works and new directions with my work. I paint everyday and everyday I listen to music. Every show I paint has it's own soundtrack.
Do you listen to music when you're working ? If so, what kind of music ?
My playlist is varied. From hardcore punk to hard rock, jazz fusion to bebop, hardcore rap/hip-hop to screamo…pop music. I specifically select my music for each day. I have certain albums and songs, which remind me of certain places, themes, moods, etc. So when I'm painting for a show, I draw upon that music's energy and intensity.
What is the song you liked the most lately? The album ? What was the last gig you went to ?
Currently I'm listening to a LA band called OFF. The song 'Hypnotized' off their 'Wasted Years' album is epic!
Recently I saw Blink 182 at The Wiltern in LA.
Actually, I have an interesting story about Blink 182. I collaborated with them recently. They asked me to paint their mascot, the Blink-182 bunny for their Australian 2013 tour. I painted Skull Bunny. My Skull Bunny combined the grittiness and urgency of punk with the exuberant colour and playfulness of pop.
The bunny was hidden in a location in Sydney and I gave clues to its whereabouts via my twitter, facebook page. As it was collaboration, the band would share my tweets and posts to it's millions of fans worldwide on social media!!!! Whoever found the bunny would win the bunny plus VIP tickets to Blink-182's Sydney show.
As a result, it went viral! There were hundreds of people on a daily basis searching for the bunny in Sydney. Thankfully, I was in Los Angeles at the time because I literally got hundreds of emails demanding to know where I had hidden the bunny. Some emails were scary! I still get emails from Blink-182 fans in the Ukraine! I'm pretty sure they think I'm Johnny Ramone.
Are you a musician yourself ? If so can you tell MoW more about your music projects ?
No, I'm not a musician. I did have musical aspirations once. I was a singer in a hard rock band. Unfortunately, the band broke up. In terms of musical projects…. I'm heading back to LA on July 7th. This is such an important date because this is the day Tupac is said to reappear!!!!! Could you imagine?????

These images show: 1) the Grisaille Underpainting on the right, done in brown and white over an Indian red priming, 2) the Velatura Foundation on the left, that sets values into colour, but most importantly establishes a light structure for the glazes to "harness", 3) The First Hardening Glaze, where colours are glazed on to harness the light, and further refinements are dropped into the wet film. I still have a long way to go, still! Onto the complex final glazes!

Digital is a tremendous advantage for companies that understand their customers behavior and apply technologies that make interactions more effective and enjoyable within the context of the overall customer journey.
But digital is not a shortcut to great experiences.
Customer expectations for digital are incredibly high. In addition to being effective, customers expect digital interactions to be:
- Contextually Relevant
- Personalized
- Optimized for mobility
- Data driven
- Integrated with both owned and un-owned systems
- Consistent across the end-to-end journey
In the rush to digitize, organizations are forgetting that delivering an effective and enjoyable digital interaction is often harder and more complex than delivering the same interaction via non-digital channels. Digital interactions extend beyond individual touchpoints, carrying across channels and multiple touchpoints in complex journeys.
A poorly delivered digital interaction is worse than a less efficient, but more effective, phone call.

6 Nighttime Necessities for better, more beautiful sleep
Anna's Wind Down Rituals:
Let's talk sleep...
I strongly believe in BEAUTY SLEEP! Proper sleep is so important for so many reasons, helps with metabolism, stress and well, life. We need sleep to THRIVE. Get your 8 hours of sleep, I swear by it. I'm all about getting that AM workout in, but sometimes I have to listen to my body and get my sweat on later in the day to get some extra zzzZz in the morning.
Rituals I practice for winding down.
- Get Turnt up to get turned down-aka turn up that oil diffuser in calming blends like lavender, peace and calming, serenity, etc. Bonus if you play some melodic harps, tibetan bowls, or ocean sounds to compliment your diffuser ambiance.
- Hot Tea: this is a double edged sword, as much as I love calming herbal tea before bed, it has to be well before bed for me or else my precious beauty sleep will be disturbed by having to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Ginger and peppermint are some of my favorite soothing blends and both help with calming and digestion, and this magnesium Natural Calm supplement=relaxation station, just be sure to time your tea time properly.
Nighttime ESSENTIALS!
- Eyemask: Black, Silk Eyemask. This generation is so restless and has the most trouble sleeping. A lot of this is contributed to all of the technology and screens we are constantly exposed to. The lights you are exposed to late at night disturb your sleep cycle, especially blue LEDs from phones, tablets, etc. I have a strict no TV policy for the bedroom, charge my phone in the closet, close the blinds, and AIM for no computers/tablets in bed. Bonus is my silky, blackest black eye mask. which if all of the above wasn't enough this seals the deal and prevents any light from interrupting my sleep. (especially handy if someone turns the lights on in the bedroom, and I always use it for travel.)
- Notebook
- I always keep a notebook or note pad close to my bedside. I can make a list of things I need to do the next day-swear by this- I can journal moments or experiences from the day or from the past, thoughts, dreams, ideas that come in the middle of the night. It always comes in handy and I try to make it a priority for expanded self awareness.
- Water-for obvious reasons I don't like to chug water before bed, but it's nice to have just in case you wake up thirsty and to rehydrate first thing in the AM.
- Moisturizer
- Cuticle Oil-I like this especially for the winter months. And when its bedside it's easier to reach over and moisturize your nails.
- Chapstick-again, I love to be moisturized and the Treat Jumbo lip balms smell so amazing and are organic, cruelty free, Love their brand and all of their flavors!
- Facial lotion-I like to let my skin breathe, but sometimes it needs a little moisture and I either go for extra virgin coconut oil or this rose facial lotion that's super light and smells amazing!
- Linen Spray-Ideally I would love to have clean sheets every night, but a nice linen spray is a great way to freshen them up between changes and a spritz on your pillow will set you up for a calming nights sleep. Make sure you aren't spraying chemical heavy fabric sprays like febreeze on your sheets and pillows they contain hormone disrupting chemicals that you do not want touching your skin. I always try to check beauty products through EWG to become more aware of what I'm using on or near my body.
- Youth Preservation and skin care: because it's never too early to start protecting your skin. I always, always, always remove my makeup before bed and cleanse my face, no matter how tired, drunk, delirious I am, it's a must if you care about your skin. After washing, cleansing, toning I use these products:
- Biossance: The Revitalizer 100% Neossance Squalene Drops I use these every night and will do a post on the origins and benefits of squalene.
- Youth to the People anti-aging serum, organic, vegan, cruelty free, made in LA and you see results!
- I am obsessed with my friend's hemp skincare line. The KB pure essentials new skincare is a must for my AM/PM routine!

In Du's dream she encounters a young scholar, identified later in the play as Liu, whom in real life she has never met. Liu's bold advances start off a flaming romance between the two and it flourishes rapidly.

My first son was born in may of 08, my daughter in Oct of 2010. I lost my job and we had to downsize big time. We moved into a 2 bdrm 1bath quadplex with a little backyard. It is perfect for us right now. BUT now I am seriously thinking I may be pregnant. I am in school (pre-med) and way behind. I havent even told my husband because Im so afraid he will just be so stressed it will break him. He is SUCH an amazing man, he will work any job in the world and always puts us first. I am having a hard time seeing a 3rd child as a positive thing right now in our lives. Has anyone gone through this? IF i am pregnant, and Im not 100% sure right now, our kids will be 4 and 16months when the baby is born. Id love some advice and anecdotes. Thanks for reading

As part of Literary club's effort to promote emerging writers. Literary club organised a short story writing competition- Kathakaar. We are happy to share two of the best submissions which the literary club got. The first story is written by Bhavya Subramanian of IMI New Delhi. Her story is a response to travails of true love.
"Courage lies in speaking the truth, but wisdom lies in knowing when to speak it."-By Bhavya Subramanian
Liam snapped his book shut in impatience and muttered "You know, I'll ask for your wisdom if I need it."
Emily nearly poured tea into the saucer at this outburst. "Heavens! You're quite ill-disposed today." She muttered to herself before turning her attention back to the tea.
She heard Liam shut the door behind him.
Liam wanted to yell, but he couldn't. For two reasons. One, Emily was his sister, and he loved her to death. Second, she was right. As annoying as it was, she was right. Wisdom does lie in knowing when to speak the truth. But Liam didn't have an option. If he didn't resolve the problem now, he probably won't get the chance to sort it later.
Holding his breath, he knocked the door of his father's study before entering in.
"Come in." A cold voice called out.
You need reslove this today, Liam told himself, today, you just cannot let him intimidate you into going in to his wishes. He then stepped in.
Augustus Harrison looked deeply engrossed in a book, so much so that he didn't even look up to see his visitor. Liam waited a few seconds for his father to acknowledge him, but seeing that that wasn't about to happen anytime soon, Liam coughed slightly.
"For God's sake, Liam," Augustus murmured without removing his eyes off the book, "if you've got a cough ask Mrs. Hudson to make you some soup. Do not bother me with it." Mrs Hudson was the housekeeper.
Liam didn't even flinch at this indifference of his father. In fact, he was so used to it that he barely realised it anymore.
"Very well then, father. Let me bother you with an issue that does concern the both of us." Without giving himself time to think this through, Liam said in one breath, "I do not wish to marry Ms Jane Bertram. I realise I do not love her, and to marry someone in these circumstances will not guarantee happiness to either's future.
"I did not know you were fond of fairy tales, Liam. Let me set the record straight. You're not marrying Ms Bertram out of love. You're marrying her because it is the best possible alliance for the Harrison line, and I will not let your whimsical notions get in the way of it."
I will not give in. I will not let my father run my life for me. "I'm afraid, father, that we have very different perceptions of matrimony. I find that I cannot let your expectation of it determine my future. I am not in love with Ms Bertram. I love another woman, and I shall do everything in my power to marry the one I love. If you'll excuse me, father, I will now write the letter informing Ms Bertram of my inability to marry her."
"You shall do no such thing, Liam." Augustus responded in a bored tone. "I will not repeat this for the third time, so listen to me carefully; I will not let you get in the way of what is best for this family."
"What is best for this family is that the sons remain happy because they make decisions that they desire and choose."
Augustus snapped his book impatiently, "What utter non-sense! You really have very fancy notions in your head! The best for the family is its future generations enjoy the best of rank and wealth, and established as we are, wealth will only insure more power, security and respect in this society. So, my dear son, you will kindly leave me to enjoy my book, and to the best of your ability, do whatever is needed to make the ceremony and the wedding a success. I would like to emphasise you would do better to treat my thoughts seriously. I will not hesitate to re-consider your claim on this estate if you give me the reason to."
Dearest Amelia,
I am afraid that under the current circumstances, I see little hope of father giving us his full blessings. But, do not despair, my love, for I will not give up. Come what may, we will be man and wife. I know we can make this happen. All I need is, you, precious, to stay strong.
Yours only,
The letter was crumpled and thrown into the fireplace.
Liam held the gloved hand as the lady carefully disembarked from the carriage. He was so anxious. He knew what was going to happen, and yet, he couldn't stop his foot from fidgeting.
The chaperone followed behind them, maintaining sufficient distance to allow the lovers to talk freely.
"My dear, what has happened? I know something has happened for sure."
"I asked you, Amelia, to be strong. Now, your strength has paid off. Amelia, my dear, I am yours to marry. Let us get married." He knew she was going to be overjoyed.
"This is wonderful news! Oh, I am so glad to hear of it. My dear, what a wedding it will be! Your father, despite his initial opposition, would be there to bless us! Our families, friends, everyone! The ton will be so pleased! Oh! This is lovely news indeed!"
"I am very happy that you're so pleased. But my dear, there is one thing. My father will not be there, for he has not given us his blessings. Everything else will hold true; your family, my sister and brother, our friends, everyone who matters shall be there, when you and I will get married."
Amelia stopped walking and turned to face Liam, "Your father! Why won't he be there? I believed the matter had been resolved."
"As far as our getting married was concerned, yes, I have resolved it for once and all. There was a little price to pay, but I believe for you, I would gladly do so."
"What, Liam," Amelia's voice rose, "was the price you paid?"
"I will not inherit any share of my father's rank or wealth once he passes on."
Amelia dropped her purse. "Liam, let us sit there at that spot. The sunlight must be exhausting me, for I'm sure I must have heard wrong."
"We can sit wherever you like." He quickly lead the way to the seating spot in the park where they both sat down.
"You did not mishear me, Amelia. I have given up all claims to rank and wealth."
"Oh!" Amelia murmured, and got up. She took a few and then came to sit near him. Again, however, she couldn't sit still and started pacing about.
"How-. What did he-. I cannot believe it came to this!"
"My dearest Amelia, I am so touched by your concern for me. Do not fret, it will be alright. We can get married in two weeks-"
Amelia looked contrite as she said, "If I may be so honest, Liam, I am not sure if marriage is the right path for us. I feel it would be wise for both of us to think things-"
"Think? My dear Amelia, you know very well how hard I have fought to make our wedding a possiblity-"
"Why did you fight, Liam? This does no good-"
At this point, an uncomfortable suspicion morphed into a chilling realisation. Amelia did not care about him, or the fact that he had let go of so much for her. What had mattered to her was what he had let go of. Literally, the wealth was what seemed to matter.
"Do you not love me, Amelia?" It killed him to ask his Amelia such a simple question, because for the first time, he was unsure of the answer.
"Liam!" Augustus' voice was shocked, "You're- you're soaking wet!"
It had been raining outside. Liam had been vaguely aware of the downpour, but it had not mattered. Nothing mattered anymore.
Augustus was concerned. The boy was drenched like a cat, and yet, it was the eyes that were scary. Because they looked soul dead.
"Father, I'll marry Jane Bertram. Whenever, however and wherever you wish." Saying this, the son exited the study, without awaiting his father's response. He remembered the conversation he had had in his father's study.
"You really have very fancy notions in your head!The best for the family is its future generations enjoy the best of rank and wealth, and established as we are, wealth will only insure more power, security and respect in this society. So, my dear son, you will kindly leave me to enjoy my book, and to the best of your ability, do whatever is needed to make the ceremony and the wedding a success. I would like to emphasise you would do better to treat my thoughts seriously. I will not hesitate to re-consider your claim on this estate if you give me the reason to."
"Without the inheritance, life will be less richer, but without Amelia, life will not be worth living."
Augustus snorted his ridicule, "Liam! Now I am starting to worry, because you're not sounding like a man in love, but because you're sounding like a man disillusioned."
"She loves me, father!"
"She loves the man that holds a rank in society, and will have a sizeable inheritance to gain. Being born into the family of aristocrats has its merits. But, Liam, it has its disadvantages as well. Your rank, your title will always supersede you. Are your friends, friends with you because you're Liam, or because you're Liam Harrison, son of Augustus Harrison, belonging to an enviable family of aristocrats? Does the woman you love, love you back because you're you? Liam, let us try an experiment. Tell the woman you love that you no longer have any claim to the inheritance or the rank."
"Father, it is unfortunate you are such a cynic. I will meet Amelia immediately, then. I will tell her that I don't own any wealth, and she will cry for me, but she won't leave me. I will then inform you of these events and you will yourself give your blessings to our marrying each other."
"We shall see, Liam, we shall see."
Nothing mattered anymore. Liam had given up wealth to pursue love, and love had given up on him to chase wealth. What he felt could not be described in words. He had loved her truly, and she had made him believe she had loved him too. However, bygones were bygones. He belonged to the Harrison family. He would marry Jane Bertram, and the children they would have will never go through what he went. He will not allow them to fall in love. He would decide their life, like his father had done for him. He would protect them, from the world. From people like Amelia.

Firefox is good in many aspects, but sucks in just as many other aspects. Why? Because they are not user-interested. Too many of their developments are apparently meant to make them feel good about themselves rather than being interested in what their users think or want.
EXAMPLE: Why did they disable the ability to click on a link and have it open in a new tab rather than replace the existing tab? Nobody really wants that. Sure, we can hold CNTRL and then click the link, but why? WAKE UP, FIREFOX GEEKS!
For the most part, users are not interested in having all the latest technical things, they just want an easy to use and relatively fast browser. That's it. And why the need on your parts to disable most extensions? Definitely NOT user friendly. Firefox will end up going the way of Netscape if they don't learn that customers are their #1 priorities.

They're back up, and swinging...
Dear Members of the Board of Governors,
The Musicians of the San Francisco Symphony are proud to be members of one of the world's greatest orchestras, a visionary organization that is in robust financial health thanks to the dedication and generosity of our Board. We consider ourselves very fortunate to share an incredible partnership with each of you and with our esteemed
Music Director, Michael... Tilson Thomas. The extraordinary support and energy that MTT and all of you have brought to the SFS has been the catalyst for the huge leap in the orchestra's artistic level, which culminated in our winning the 2013 Grammy last month. As we have stated many times, the SFS Board is among the best in the world and we are grateful for your commitment to the orchestra.
We were looking forward to bringing our SFS excitement and passion to New York audiences, and we deeply regret that the current labor dispute disrupted our planned Carnegie tour and Mahler 9 concerts for our local audiences last week. We know that the entire SFS organization was looking forward to our East Coast concerts. It was a blow to all of us that they couldn't go on as scheduled.
The SFS is in good financial health as the result of your careful stewardship. Our orchestra boasts over $300 million in assets and the endowment, at over $268 million, is the second largest of any orchestra in the country. Our Music Director is the highest paid at $2.4 million, and our Executive Director has received "longevity bonuses" over the past two years of $278,000. The SFS spent $79 million last season for the Centennial Celebration; $11 million more than in any other season, more than the total additional cost of our initial three-year contract proposal. While we understand that the latest recession hurt a number of orchestras across the country, it seems to us after careful analysis of documents provided to the Negotiating Committee that the SFS came through the economic downturn quite well. Indeed, during the depths of the recession, the SFS surpassed its fundraising goals for the Second Century Campaign bringing in over $145 million. Why then is our Management insisting that the Musicians accept cuts in benefits, wage freezes and changes in working conditions at the bargaining table?
For the SFS Musicians, it's a question of fairness. We are concerned that the SFS has lost sight of its artistic mission. The Musicians are the heart of our organization. We make the music come to life with our impassioned and exciting performances for audiences around the world as well as at home, for our Bay Area community. We don't understand why we should not share in the success of the organization by receiving, at a minimum, salary adjustments that reward our increasing productivity and keep us apace with increases in the cost of living. The high cost of living in San Francisco affects our organization's ability to attract and retain the best musicians. We don't understand why the Musicians were asked to accept a wage freeze for the first year of the contract when top executive salaries have risen significantly faster than orchestra compensation. We have seen the projections for robust growth in earned and contributed revenue and have also offered to assist changing schedules to work harder and make even more revenue opportunities possible. We don't understand why the Management has been insisting on cuts in benefits and working conditions that must result in a "net savings" contract, further eroding the share of the budget to be allocated to the Musicians. It seems to us to be an attempt to capitalize on cuts made to other arts organizations that were truly struggling during the recession.
The Musicians are also having a difficult time understanding the overall resistance to our concerns that we have encountered at the bargaining table. For example, why was increasing the funds available for instrument loans for Musicians such a contentious and aggressively resisted issue in this negotiation? Even though we were assured that there were no defaults and despite the fact that the funds available for instrument loans had not been increased since 2001, it took eight months of negotiating to finally get a tentative agreement to increase the amount of loan money offered for fine instruments. These loans help the SFS Musicians to continue to improve the quality of the sound onstage and make an enormous difference in the quality of our artistic product. Why was it so difficult toget an agreement to increase the funding levels for instrument loans (loans which have always been repaid) when $3 million was "borrowed" from the endowment in order to fund a feasibility study for a planned new building at a cost of up to half a billion dollars? Why would this issue be at all controversial when the music is the lifeblood of our organization?
The Musicians have been and continue to be reasonable. If we saw that the organization was in distress, we would of course be willing to make the necessary sacrifices to ensure the health of the organization. Even though we strongly disagree about the financial health of the organization, we have explored in good faith ways to enhance revenue opportunities without destroying some of the important benefits and protections of our contract. The story being told about the orchestra's finances doesn't add up. There are and have been resources for blockbuster tours, programming, recording projects, special events and high paid executive salaries. And now that the economy is recovering, unemployment is declining and the stock market is at an all-time high, there is every reason to expect the SFS will flourish even more. Asking the Musicians to now freeze their wages, cut benefits and slide backwards artistically and economically is simply unfair.
Many of us began our musical training before we started kindergarten. We have endeavored all of our lives to reach the top of our field. The SFS Musicians give everything we have to our jobs and work as hard as we can to provide our audiences with performances that will electrify and excite them-performances that elevate the human spirit. Our work ethic and quest to keep improving are at the center of everything we do. We never rest on our laurels. We all love our orchestra. The Musicians are deeply concerned that the hard positional stance with which Management entered into this negotiation demonstrates a dangerous shift in priorities where musicians and the music are no longer central to the organization.
Again, our thanks to each of you for all you have done for the San Francisco Symphony. We remain committed to achieving a fair and reasonable settlement-one that reflects the financial health of the SFS, keeps us competitive in terms of attracting and keeping the best talent, and recognizes the central role that the Musicians play in the organization.

Reseller web hosting is creating unique opportunities for online business owners by giving them the opportunity to start their own web hosting company with a minimal investment. Internet entrepreneurs are being born every day. In fact, the internet is being touted as the only way to thrive in the current global economic recession.
If you are interested in profiting from the web hosting industry, reseller web hosting offers the perfect opportunity to do so by providing all of the tools and resources necessary to build your own web hosting business from scratch. If you are interested in the idea of reselling hosting resources for a profit then you may want to consider the information outlined within this article.
How Do You Become a Hosting Reseller?
Reseller hosting operates on the simple concept of wholesale/retail investing. Web hosting providers offer reseller web hosting to provide server resources at wholesale price. As the reseller you can then resell these services for a hefty profit. You can even create custom web hosting plans to entice prospective clients by packaging the server resources in attractive hosting plans. As a reseller you have complete control over your web server, which means you can delegate plans and pricing as you see fit, regardless of the terms and conditions of the individual hosting company. In fact, most reseller hosting providers will automatically include all of the tools and resources needed to create your own hosting plans, as well as your own web hosting site that you can use to advertise your web hosting business.
How Do You Make a Profit From Reseller Hosting?
The process of profiting from reseller hosting is rather simple. Once you have purchased the plan and you have access to the server resources you can then begin creating hosting plans. The key is to sell the server resources for a competitive price while also creating a substantial mark up.
As an example, if you are given 1000 GB bandwidth and 120 GB of disk space you could easily keep 20 GB of disk space for your own hosting needs, and then create 10 hosting accounts that contain 100 GB of bandwidth and 10 GB of disk space each. If you are paying $49.95 per month for such a plan, and you sell the hosting plans for $10 per month each, you would be making a profit of $50 per month, and you would also have access to 20 free GB of disk space for your own use. With such benefits it is easy to see why reseller hosting is becoming so popular.
The Distinct Advantages of Becoming a Hosting Reseller
Aside from the aforementioned advantages there are many benefits to becoming a hosting reseller. The first benefit is the cost at which you are able to secure and sell hosting for. As a reseller you have complete control over the server resources you're given. You have access to administrative tools that make it easy to create custom plans with unique names and server setups. You can decide to use these server resources and tools for yourself, or you can sell some of them to receive free web hosting or a profit each month.
Surprisingly, some web hosting companies started as small hosting resellers, and after a few years of building a client base, gradually made enough money to invest in a private data center for their customers. As a hosting reseller you have the unique opportunity to build a professional web hosting company from the ground up with as little as $20 per month.
How to Make Your Hosting Company Grow
The key to being successful as a web hosting company is branding and plan packaging. You have to set yourself apart from the other web hosting providers by offering unique plans. Every advertising and marketing campaign needs to be unique in order to catch the attention of a market that is being inundated with advertising on a daily basis. It is extremely important to make sure your hosting company does not look like a reseller hosting business.
You want to appear as if you are a professional hosting company, because most online business owners do not want to deal with middlemen. Fortunately, most reseller hosting providers give you all of the tools needed to create custom control panels and web sites that add authenticity and professionalism to your web hosting business. As your hosting business gradually expands you'll be able to receive cheaper prices on server resources, which will give you the opportunity to make even more profit.

Raymond Moriyama's Toronto Reference Library (1977) was a source of inspiration for space and detail design of the project. Outlining of merlot red carpet, in contrast with white vertical surface, and stacked loggias, create an obvious geometric void to the space. This architectural lanquage has been applied throughout the event, which aim to create a dialogue between connecting spaces.
Rotunda - space with circular floor plan, shape of circle, form of sphere and transversal line; are utilised in different areas. The way circles collide in different planes on the backdrop and how flowers are arrange in one diagonal line helps generate its own invisible pattern, which is similar to the cake stand. Various shades of tinted acrylic panels; including white, milky, mustard, red, and maroon; were assemble together to create a semi-transparent effect of light passing through at the foyer area. The stage backdrop was constructed symmetrically with customised sphere lamps, which are inspired from Garrault-Delord's 1971 Lampadaire lamp. Colour scheme of flowers include white, orange, peach, and spot of dark red, with choices of flowers consisting of Phalaennopis, Cymbidium, Anthurium, Anthurium Luxurian, Arachnis, Gypsophilla, and rose.

What our Grads are Saying….
Kicking off the training with a retreat was so special. It gave my fellow teacher trainees and I time to bond, relax, nurture our bodies and have meaningful discussions. The retreat and every session after it has been a gift. Perfecting poses, learning breathing techniques, studying yoga philosophy, and practicing Ayurveda has made us confident, educated, skilled yoga teachers. Prioritizing self-care and making amazing new friendships has made us better individuals who are prepared to shine light and lead with kindness and compassion.
I've heard horror stories about YTT programs with dozens of trainees where it feels impersonal and formulaic. In stark contrast, joining Yogaleena School felt like joining a family. It's an experience I will treasure for many years to come."
-Mariah Gardner, 2018 YS Grad
The close-knit community that Fran, Carolina, and the rest of the teacher tribe have created is something that is quintessentially Yogaleena – a judgement-free zone. where we all have incredible space to explore and grow. This teacher training has not only adequately prepared me to share my love of yoga with the world, but it has given me the tools to show up fully and authentically as myself every part of my life."

Should I buy a motor scooter?/
Should I buy a scooter? YES!
In the present day world, to commute is to live. Everyone has to commute either to work, school or home. It is inevitable to ignore this basic necessity of modern life. Many people prefer public transport for long as well as short distance commute around the world, yet in Brisbane, many people want to be independent in their transportation needs and hence they go for a motor vehicle. But the independence is staring to be overshadowed by the problems of the ever increasing prices of fuel and the cars themselves, the traffic jams and of course - the choice and cost of parking. So if you, along with so many others, are starting to feel the frustration of owning a car - but still want the independence and freedom --- time to buy a scooter!
Scooters are cheap:
Scooters are quite inexpensive and affordable. One does not have to save a lot of money to get one. Neither have you had to set up a jar labeled 'money to buy scooter.' A brand new one is going to be the best buy but in the case of used scooters, a well maintained used scooter can also prove to be as effective as a new one.
Scooters do more miles on less gas:
Scooters are mostly fifty five cc by their engine capacity. This means a lot of miles on very little amount of gas. They literally sniff gas and a full tank can take you as far as almost five hundred miles. This feature is the most attractive one and is one of the leading reasons that people buy scooters.
Scooters are easy to maintain:
Unlike motor vehicles, scooters do not really have an expensive as well as extensive maintenance procedure. They need the usual change of motor oils and a few filters. All of these components are only required after every one thousand miles so we can say that maintenances are few and far between as well as quite cheap.
Scooters are agile:
When we say agile, we say literally easy to maneuver and a piece of cake to find a parking spot. In the hustle and bustle of city during rush hour it becomes quite frustrating to sit in the car and look at the situation unfold in front of you. While a person on scooter can easily enter the city swiftly, park his scooter without any hassle and mind about his work rather than worrying about the traffic.
Scooters are easy to own:
Scooters do not have an extensive process for registering for insurance and to submit the extensive file work constituting of numerous documents. Owning a scooter is as easy as walking in to the scooter showroom and driving the scooter out of it.
Scooters are cool:
Although usual opinion about scooters is that they are old school and they are usually owned by people who are dull and boring but let me tell you that there is nothing uncool about it. There is no comparison of a person swiftly riding his scooter to work or office. Scooters are a class of persona which has been misinterpreted over the last few decades. Scooters are always a head turner.
What are you waiting for? Get yourself a scooter right away and get back on the track for fun that you have been missing out for so long!

Empowerment means aligning with love - love of yourself.
The truth of who you are is self-love, and love for others, and seeing the two as a union.
It means to honor yourself, your experience, and your feelings, no matter what they are, no matter what the world's commentary on your story.
Empowering yourself means recognizing every situation and relationship as a chance to learn.
It means to trust yourself.
To hold yourself.
To forgive yourself.
To believe in the power of your own light.
1). Put on an empowering song - my favorites are Beyonce, Barbra Streisand, Fifth Harmony (and that's just the beginning).
2). Stand in front of a mirror. Look yourself in the eye.
Normally I don't advocate for looking in a mirror. I think we should live our lives authentically as often as possible, without getting caught up too much in the pressure of what we don't see in the mirror. But when you look yourself in the eye and tell yourself something good, you start to smile. It is not necessarily being okay with what you see - it is the feeling you get from seeing your happiness reflected. This is a power you need to see.
3). Spread your arms and legs and stand in an 'X' formation. Continue to stand, if you can, like this for two minutes.
It has been proven that taking up as much space as possible releases hormones that make you feel more powerful. If you notice, men are taught this already - to build muscle mass, to be tall, to spread their legs when they sit. I'd like to revolutionize how we teach women to stand, sit, walk, etc., as well. Spread it all out.
Amy Cuddy, social psychologist, breaks this idea down in her brilliant TED Talk.
4). Create your own positive FeMantras.
Your experience is your own experience; I can't speak to the positivity you need to bring to yourself in this moment. All that matters is that you are speaking kindly to yourself, honoring exactly how you feel, and telling yourself there is a reason you deserve this empowerment.
Happy Empowering!

This petition had 38 supporters
We, the local residents of the Chrisp Street Market and Poplar community, petition POPLAR HARCA to allow The Poplar Pavilion to remain as the wonderful and inclusive community space it has become.
The Poplar Pavilion started life as a temporary project to create a delightful space where local community residents and their children can relax, explore, connect, discuss, read, exchange experiences, and grow.
Over time it has become the most social and inviting space in the area. It is used throughout the day and night by a very wide range of different people from the local community. People of all races, genders, ages, and abilities have been using the space on a daily basis.
The local residents are now asking that POPLAR HARCA give their consent to The Poplar Pavilion remaining as part of our community space.
The Poplar Pavilion can be donated to the community, if POPLAR HARCA give their permission.
The local community are offering to maintain and look after The Poplar Pavilion.

Lawson expects to finalize its purchase of Apexion Technologies, a 20-person company in San Francisco, by November. Apexion, which is privately held, specializes in software that's designed to save hospitals money and reduce delayed and canceled surgeries by keeping close tabs on surgical instruments.
Lawson plans to retain most of Apexion's employees. It refused to disclose financial terms of the deal.
The acquisition "will support Lawson's growth strategy to enhance its vertical-market products by acquiring industry-specific technologies," the company said in a statement. In addition, it will help the St. Paul, Minn., company compete with rival business applications maker PeopleSoft, which also has a health care focus and a partnership with Apexion, Lawson said.
Apexion's software is designed to run on Microsoft's Windows CE operating system for handheld computers, expanding Lawson's wireless computing capabilities.
Lawson said it has more than 400 health care customers, including hospitals, clinics, academic medical centers, and physicians groups. The company makes financial accounting and human resources applications.

We have returned from an amazing journey on this years Women's Wilderness Wisdom Journeys Spring, Weekend Retreat. These women had been preparing for weeks, and some for months before we gathered.
I've created a quick video to share that captures some of the essence of this retreat and this group. Many photos were taken by Louanne Schoninger, we were greatful to have her join teh retreat and capture some special moments. Please enjoy the video.
We gathered off grid, which was so nice! No phone, no electricity, no running water. We came together to live simply and to focus on ROOTS, CORE, & CROWN. Each had their own experiences as we journeyed from the earth up to the crown to receive a greater vision.
We processed alot! Knowing when to take time for yourself is important. Maybe you feel like you should be helping, but you need that time to process, to reflect, and to ground more fully. Maybe you need space to see more clearly. I offered my perspective and encouraged each women to take the time they needed. The retreat was designed so that participation is up to you.
This retreat was held at my long time teacher and mentor's property, at the Teaching Lodge in Canaan, Maine. Ray Reitze, or Old Turtle taught me a long time ago about inner peace and peace of mind. He taught me about being OK with myself. I learned this just by being in his presence, and not being expected to do anything...even talk. This was one of the greatest gifts I have received however it took me a while to get there! I wanted to bring this to the retreat and I reminded each, "You have permission to be yourself. I am not expecting you to do anything."
I have woven into my retreats all of the teachings that I have sifted from all of my teachers, and my experiences with all of these teachings.
"May you allow yourself to be who you are, to rest when you need, and to enjoy this world in your own way. May you feel free to express your inner light, and allow yourself to receive the greatest vision you can step into...and may you step in with confidence and curiosity!"
If you would like to take "Journey of the Vision Tree" I have created an audio journey that you can listen to on your device from home or in your neck of the woods, you can find that by clicking the image below.
Blessings on your journey,

Located three and a half hours north of San Francisco and twenty miles north of the historic town of Mendocino, the newly constructed Inn at Newport Ranch is part of a 2,000 acre coastal cattle ranch on the site of the former town of Newport and its lumber chute. With more than a mile of oceanfront, three miles of ridge tops, panoramic coastal views and 20 miles of world class hiking and riding trails through redwoods and along the coast, the ranch is a unique private domain for those enjoying the North Coast's many recreational opportunities and delights, and is an ideal destination for vacations, small conferences, retreats, family reunions, weddings, and special events.*
"From a young age, open space and beautiful landscapes resonated with me," states Will Jackson, founder of the Inn at Newport Ranch. "This ranch has been in our family since 1986, and the new Inn is the culmination of our dream to share the beauty and adventure of this magical land with others."
The Inn was designed by renowned architects Dave Sellers and Jim Sanford of Warren, Vermont. The work of both architects focuses on designing and building in harmony with nature, with a special emphasis on custom craftsmanship. The structures have a number of unique architectural features, including a 20 foot wide walk-in stone fireplace, a building supported by 24 individual redwood trees, from base to cathedral-like ceiling, and a hot tub on top of a water tower that presents commanding views of the surrounding landscape. The hallway in the Main Inn is paneled with redwood boards up to five feet wide, and the living room flooring is 30-inch old growth redwood planks. Some of these boards were milled on the ranch from logs left behind by the old loggers. The use of these natural and local materials honors the bounty of the area, and helps to connect our guests to the landscape.
A breathtaking view
Daily ATV tours
2000 acres to explore
The Captain's Room
Barbeque on the bluff
20 miles of trails
A stay at the Inn at Newport Ranch includes a made-to-order breakfast, evening fireside appetizers and libations, access to nearly all of our 2000 acres of majestic coastline and rugged forest, and on-site concierge services.
The three guest rooms in the Main Inn and three suites in the Redwood House are furnished to provide the ultimate in comfort, and can accommodate up to 14 guests. The rooms are set with various themes and appointments. All rooms have luxury bath amenities, robes, a hair dryer & a docking station with a radio.
In the Redwood House, each suite has an LCD flat screen TV, a DVD player, a private hot tub and an outdoor terrace or deck. Each suite also has a small kitchen and an outdoor grill.
The Main Inn guest rooms are small and more intimate. The access to the main living space & guest kitchen are available to all guests, as is the 6-person rooftop hot tub and sauna.
The property incorporates many unique architectural elements:
• Headboards from single burls and redwood slabs
• A stained glass entry door depicting a local scene
• Wood floors from antique stadium seats and old beams
• Twenty foot long single stone steps and pavers
• A dining table for 10 people from a single redwood slab
• A 32 foot banquet table made from a single redwood slab
• A hand carving of the Newport Lumber Chute
• 7 one-ton stone columns set in a 2 acre arc showing the Equinox, Winter solstice and Summer solstice
• A wrap around porch with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean on the west & the ranch land and coastal hills on the east side
In each building, there is a recreation room with a 60-inch flat screen TV, and computer access is available in Main Inn recreation room. The entire property has wireless Internet for guest use, and telephone service for guest use is available in the Main Inn (calls within the USA are complimentary).
In addition, the owner's ocean front vacation home – Sea Drum – is available for rentals and can accommodate up to 10 overnight guests. Sea Drum is adjacent to the Main Inn.
During their stay, guests will be offered an array of dining options. Daily menus are posted for our guests' consideration, listing the day's offerings. A complimentary made-to-order breakfast as well as evening fireside appetizers & libations are offered daily for all guests, and preordered lunch and dinner service are available for an extra charge.
The culinary culture at the Inn at Newport Ranch has been deemed "comfort ranch food." The Inn sources and serves as many local ingredients and libations as possible, serves only the finest local meats and seafood, and grows some of its own vegetables, herbs, greens and flowers.
Barbecue and picnic sites such as Council Bluff are scattered throughout the property, if guests would like to enjoy a meal al fresco – next to the ocean, by a stream or on a magical hilltop with a 50 mile panoramic view.
There is also an on-site spa offering services such as massages, facials and more, to open later this year.
The Inn at Newport Ranch offers horseback riding (through its partner, Richochet Ranch), as well as hiking trails, whale watching, and guided ATV adventure safaris along the dramatic coast and ridgetops and through the redwood forests.
"Come stay with us and be a modern-day pioneer," continues Jackson.
* Private events at the ranch can accommodate up to 99 people.
The Inn at Newport Ranch will be open year-round. Rates per night for double occupancy are:
Main Inn

When Roddy Smith's teenage daughter became severely disabled, he and his wife sold their home and remortgaged to buy and adapt a bungalow to care for her. But their energy costs soared as they tried to keep her warm through the long Hebridean winters. Smith says that every year he called his supplier, Scottish Gas, to get a better deal, and each time was told that there was only one standard tariff in his area.
Their predicament highlights the obstacles faced by energy customers who want to switch, despite rules to open up competition.
The Smiths, and some other residents in the Scottish town of Stornoway, have been trapped on a single, pricey, standard tariff for years after wrongly being told they neither qualify for cheaper deals nor have the option of changing providers, because Centrica – which owns British and Scottish Gas, and supplies one third of British households – is the only gas supplier to the island.
In a stand that should embolden thwarted customers across the land, a local guesthouse owner has taken on the energy giant and is attempting to claw back a mass rebate after discovering many residents have been overpaying by 30% for over 20 years.
Derek McPherson's five-year battle has exposed how corporations mislead customers with what is, at best, incompetence, at worst, duplicity.
Fuel poverty in the Western Isles is among the greatest in the country, with over half of residents spending more than 10% of their income on heating. McPherson reckons Scottish Gas's refusal to transfer many applicants to more affordable deals has cost them millions. "An elderly neighbour told me she has to go to the old folk's club every day it's open as she can't afford to heat her home," he says.
Last month, British Gas was obliged to pay £2.65m compensation by regulator Ofgem, after it was found to have moved more than 94,000 customers to its pricier standard variable tariff when they changed suppliers.
Centrica has to offer its full range of tariffs to customers across the UK since the sector was decentralised in 1995 and, in 2015, suppliers were obliged to inform customers of the best deals on their bills.
McPherson first asked for a cheaper option in 2013 after discovering his sister on the mainland was paying Scottish Gas much less. It told him that, as the island was off-grid and supplied with piped propane rather than natural gas, there was only one tariff. To his surprise, the company sent him a cheque for £102 two months later to reflect the discount he had "lost out on over the last year".
That winter he again asked if there was a more affordable plan. This time, Scottish Gas declared that off-grid customers, such as himself, were "heavily subsidised" as they were charged the same standard tariff as natural gas customers, despite the higher cost of shipping piped propane to the islands. It argued that it remained the sole supplier because no other energy company would choose to supply islanders at a loss.
It was two years later when McPherson discovered that Centrica does not pay for piped propane to be transported. Since 1995, the cost has been borne by customers across the UK, who pay a tiny levy to cover the expense of supplying four remote off-grid areas, including Stornoway and two districts in Wales.
This cost-sharing strategy is called "socialisation" and, in return, Ofgem required Centrica, the only supplier to those four districts, to make all its tariffs available to them.
The first Stornoway residents officially knew of a cheaper option was in 2016 when their bills advertised a dual-fuel deal with Sainsbury's Energy, saving up to 50%. McPherson again applied to switch and was told that this deal did not supply piped propane and that the information would be removed from future bills. In fact, Sainsbury's Energy is a brand sold by … none other than Centrica.
McPherson complained to the ombudsman, but its investigation was shut down by Scottish Gas, which falsely claimed that he was a bottled-gas customer and therefore outside the ombudsman's remit.
McPherson then turned to Ofgem, which opened an inquiry. He believes evidence requested from Scottish Gas was tampered with. Two copies of McPherson's 2016 bill, which had first alerted him to the Sainsbury's tariff, had had the offer removed, he says. Moreover, a neighbour was refused a rebate for the years he was denied the tariff because Sainsbury's had "only started supplying the town in 2017", but when a recording of the conversation was submitted in evidence, that crucial falsehood was missing.
Ofgem has decided there is no evidence to show that it was policy to deny customers affordable deals and that misinformation was a result of "poorly drawn" briefings. It merely announced it had "made it clear" that Centrica customers should be "correctly informed" rather than officially sanctioning it for flouting the law.
Stornoway MP Angus MacNeil, who has supported McPherson's campaign, is acting for over 40 constituents who say they were refused the Sainsbury's tariff. He has rejected Ofgem's findings as "astonishing" and written to Centrica's chief executive, Mark Hodges, three times to ask why customers were so misled. He has received no reply.
"The savings my constituents have been denied have been put in the pockets of the gas company, and Ofgem is behaving toothlessly," he says. "Scottish Gas is claiming Derek was the only resident affected. In fact, I know the 40 who have contacted me to be a huge under-representation."
Ofgem told the Observer it had seen no evidence that a "substantive" number of people had been "deliberately or systematically denied cheaper tariffs". It declined to clarify what number it considered "substantive".
Centrica says it has no record of Roddy Smith being denied a cheaper tariff. It declined to answer the Observer's questions about the years when it had deflected other residents and said: "It is not correct to suggest that customers in Stornoway are being denied access to the best available tariffs. Hundreds of our customers have switched tariff to take advantage of a different deal. We write regularly to all Scottish Gas customers telling them if there is a cheaper tariff."
It has paid McPherson £1,545.62 to make up the amount he would have saved on the Sainsbury's tariff plus £500 compensation, but he wants it to compensate others. The Sainsbury's tariff has been increased, so savings are minimal. "The reality is, we are as badly off as ever," he says. "We are restricted to Centrica's cheapest tariff, from which mainland customers are fleeing like deer before a forest fire."

Who Has Your Social Logins?
We recently started working with a new SEO client and one of the biggest issues we've been dealing with is tracking down all their social login information. Their previous SEO firm created all their social accounts (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn company page, etc.) and hasn't been too eager to send the login information over to us. Our client has emailed their old SEO provider 5 or 6 times to get all the social logins, and every few days we stumble across another profile that we are locked out of. It doesn't help the mess that several employees had also created social accounts for the company, but have since left or don't have the login information or lost access to the email tied to those accounts. Creating a master account login list has been trying, to say the least.
I have to imagine that more than one business has suffered through this exact situation. Rouge social accounts are nothing new and the more people that have your logins the more trouble you are bound to run into. In my opinion, giving someone access to your social profiles is a big responsibility–you are essentially putting the voice of your company in their hands. Can you trust that person to do the right thing at all times? Or are you going to have KitchenAid situation on your hands?
Social media expert Kelsey Jones of MoxieDot has great advice;
… don't put employees in this position in the first place (to have full control over your accounts). Keep a master Google spreadsheet or excel sheet on a secure server and make it mandatory to keep track of ALL accounts any employee creates on behalf of the company. I wouldn't even go above signing a contract about it: after all, what if your sole account owner of your company twitter account of 120,000 followers suddenly feels scorned and leaves the company, deleting the Twitter account in the process?
This is why I don't recommend you give your social media marketing campaign to your company intern as their side project to manage. While they might have grown up with social media, do they know your brand, your business, and your audience well enough to wade through the muck and mire that can be social media interactions? If someone has a serious complaint will an intern know how to respond appropriately? Will their sense of humor be misunderstood by your audience and hurt your reputation? While you may not need a social media expert to manage the day-to-day interactions, you want to make sure your social logins are in the hands of people you can trust to always do the right thing for your business and your customers. Social media happens in real-time, and one rouge tweet or Facebook update can spread like wildfire. Even if you delete it the Internet has a really good memory and a screenshot never dies.
It's so important that the marketing manager/director for your website keeps a master login list for EVERY social account that is created. You need to know who is speaking on behalf of your company and where your brand is being represented. Every social account needs to be monitored because you never know who might be trying to connect with you. Even if you aren't actively using that social platform, it's worth claiming your brand as the username so no one else can.

Now that the government owns huge stakes in our biggest, it looks like it will inevitably become the worst kind of activist investor. Everything from trips to Florida resorts to lending decisions have been questioned by lawmakers on Capitol Hill. And now lending to foreign companies is coming under find. In a hearing on Capitol Hill, members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee questioned foreign lending. "If the banking system is in serious enough trouble to require massive amounts of federal support, shouldn't that federal support be channeled to the domestic economy?" Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, asked TARP chief Neel Kashkari. Kucinich highlighted Citigroup' $8 billion financing arrangement for public authorities in Dubai and Bank of America's $7 billion investment in the China Construction Bank Corp. "The kinds of transactions they are doing include billions in loans and investments in other countries at precisely the time that a liquidity shortage has impaired credit markets in the U.S.," Kucinich said, according to Dow Jones Newswire.

Planned design will continue to add
color to vibrant Douglas Design District
The Douglas Design District is happy to announce that the Wichita Design Council has approved plans for a complex, yet colorful, community street painting installation within the Design District.
"The design is based on our Douglas Design District logo, and will include the six vibrant colors that signify the DDD," Karen Cundiff, Douglas Design District Board Member said, "The painting will emulate the future concrete medians and bump-outs that will be installed as a part of the overall streetscape improvement plan for the District. It's a colorful way to let everyone see the vision for what the Design District will continue to evolve into."
The plans were presented to the Council by Paul Gunzelman, assistant city engineer, and included an intricate design created by Bill Gardner of Gardner Design in Wichita. Gardner also created the original Douglas Design District logo. The project is a part of the Design District's Avenue Art Days initiative and will be executed by community volunteers. It is expected to be completed by March of 2018 prior to the NCAA Tournament. The full Douglas Design District streetscape plan to include the new concrete medians and bump outs is scheduled as a part of an overall capital improvement plan that will be completed by 2025.

Reliability of clinical tests to evaluate nerve function and mechanosensitivity of the upper limb peripheral nervous system
Reliability of clinical tests to evaluate nerve function and mechanosensitivity of the upper limb peripheral nervous system - Download this document for free, or read online. Document in PDF available to download.
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
, 10:11
First Online: 21 January 2009Received: 22 July 2008Accepted: 21 January 2009
BackgroundClinical tests to assess peripheral nerve disorders can be classified into two categories: tests for afferent-efferent nerve function such as nerve conduction bedside neurological examination and tests for increased mechanosensitivity e.g. upper limb neurodynamic tests ULNTs and nerve palpation. Reliability reports of nerve palpation and the interpretation of neurodynamic tests are scarce. This study therefore investigated the intertester reliability of nerve palpation and ULNTs. ULNTs were interpreted based on symptom reproduction and structural differentiation. To put the reliability of these tests in perspective, a comparison with the reliability of clinical tests for nerve function was made.
MethodsTwo experienced clinicians examined 31 patients with unilateral arm and-or neck pain. The examination included clinical tests for nerve function sensory testing, reflexes and manual muscle testing MMT and mechanosensitivity ULNTs and palpation of the median, radial and ulnar nerve. Kappa statistics were calculated to evaluate intertester reliability. A meta-analysis determined an overall kappa for the domains with multiple kappa values MMT, ULNT, palpation. We then compared the difference in reliability between the tests of mechanosensitivity and nerve function using a one-sample t-test.
ResultsWe observed moderate to substantial reliability for the tests for afferent-efferent nerve function sensory testing: kappa = 0.53; MMT: kappa = 0.68; no kappa was calculated for reflexes due to a lack of variation. Tests to investigate mechanosensitivity demonstrated moderate reliability ULNT: kappa = 0.45; palpation: kappa = 0.59. When compared statistically, there was no difference in reliability for tests for nerve function and mechanosensitivity p = 0.06.
ConclusionThis study demonstrates that clinical tests which evaluate increased nerve mechanosensitivity and afferent-efferent nerve function have comparable moderate to substantial reliability. To further investigate the clinometric properties of these tests, more studies are needed to evaluate their validity.

Chemical Storage Cabinet and Tips for Chemical Engineering Lab
Proper storage of chemicals is very important not only for the purpose of efficiency but most of all, safety. Whether in research amounts of commercial quantities, chemicals that are not stored properly can be very unsafe. This is why different industries are encouraged to use chemical storage cabinets, especially in chemical engineering laboratories. This is something that needs to be taken seriously and diligently to avoid unwanted accidents and to protect the entire facility. It is also important to keep in mind some of the best practices when it comes to storing chemicals such as the ones below.
Proper Labeling
One of the main causes for concern is the improper labeling of products. It is not enough that you only assume that a shipment of chemicals is labeled properly. In this case, you need to open every box and inspect each container so you can make sure that all labels are correct, both in amount and name. if the shipment happens to contain different containers of chemicals, each of them need to be individually labeled in case of division when storing them. The labels should have the name of the compound, lot number, quantity, and the chemical's hazard if applicable.
Specialized Storage Containers
Highly odorous and volatile chemicals need to be stored in a well-ventilated chemical storage cabinet that comes with a locking mechanism. Most of all, the ventilation flume should be kept free of blockage to guarantee proper air flow. For acids, they need to be stored in cabinets that are specifically designed for them. Also, only similar hazard acids can be stored next to them. For flammable materials, especially those that have quantities that are more than a few gallons, they should be kept on their own flammable material room or storage cabinet.
Storage SOPs
Standard operating procedures or SOPs need to be clear to every employee and any visitor of the lab. They need to be posted throughout the area and regular audits should be done to make sure that all chemical handlers are managing the safety protocols properly. It is also important that everyone strictly follow rules such as not storing chemicals higher than eye level, transferring subdivided chemicals to smaller containers, and using drip catchers. The best way to store chemicals is to diligently follow the set protocols.
In addition, there is also some measure of errors committed by humans that often involve the handling and storing of chemicals. Education and preparation are very important. By keeping these things in mind, you will not only ensure your personal safety but even those of other people and the entire laboratory. This will also help avoid any injury and unwanted accidents so you need not worry about incurring unexpected costs.
