The tolerance for tobacco smoking was high in the 1970s and 1980s. Everybody seemed to be fine with smokers having a stick or two just about anywhere. Offices, buildings, and restaurants even allowed indoor smoking. People strolling in the park or in the streets can light a cigarette without having to worry about anything.
Through the years, society has completely changed its sentiments on tobacco smoking. We are almost at a point wherein cigarette smokers are starting to become minorities in a world where health and wellness are goals that all strive to achieve.
The government together with the private sectors (including some previous cigar shop owners)works closely to eradicate tobacco smoking altogether. It may not happen now, but taking action and quitting smoking will not only raise our general sense of health and well-being, but will be extremely beneficial to the environment too.
Why are vaporizers considered better alternatives to cigarettes?
Tobacco smoking causes so much harm to the body. Apart from the obvious respiratory illnesses that a smoker may developer as a result of chronic smoking, smokers also place the health of others in danger. Second-handing smoking was proven to have the same health risks as first-hand smokers.
Apart from respiratory diseases, people who smoke are more likely to develop certain types of cancer. Lung cancer is the most common form of cancer that smokers may develop as a result of long-term tobacco smoking. As smoking is considered poison, it has negative impact on the immune system too. With poor immune function, people are more likely to suffer from debilitating conditions that involve other organ systems too.
Vaping offers a healthier alternative. Instead of inhaling toxic fumes and tar, vapers inhale pure vapor that is being produced by a device's heating element. The vapor contains zero tar or cancer-causing compounds. To date, studies that centered on the health risks of vaping have not found any unpleasant side effect to the use of vaporizers and juices. Although there are juices that contain nicotine, users can limit the concentration in juices. For first-time users, nicotine may still be essential as it helps in tapering tobacco use. Once a vaper becomes used to vaping, he can slowly eliminate nicotine content altogether.
Now that you are aware of the health impact of vaporizers to health, do not hesitate to stop by the nearest Fort Lauderdale vape shop to check out their wide collection of models from various reliable brands.

Nicole Graham was a regular corporate girl when she realised life had more in store for her. She is now living in Hong Kong as a Modern Goddess helping women reconnect with their spirituality in all sorts of ways.
Anita, thank you for your inspiration and I'm so honoured to be chosen as the next Aussie Goddess.
My Connection with Spirit and the Goddess
I connected with spirit from a very young age but didn't really know how to explain my experiences… it was just something that wasn't discussed. I was raised as a Catholic but didn't feel very connected to the religion; I felt there was something more out there. During my early 20's I started to explore my spirituality but kept it to myself because I was concerned about criticism. At the same time I met with my first clairvoyant and was blown away that he said I had the ability to talk to spirit, and that someday I would be teaching in this field. Over the years, many clairvoyants would tell me this and my own experiences proved them right.
My connection with the Goddess came a little later when I bought my first tarot deck in my mid 20's. The deck was Motherpeace by Vicki Noble, and it's not a deck for everyone but I fell in love at first sight. The book that accompanied the deck was aptly named 'A way to the Goddess through myth, art and tarot'. Here I started my journey with the Goddess and throughout the years she's always been around reminding me of our connection.
I Lost my Way!
During my late 20's I got caught up with my 'corporate' career in the Training and Development field. I was going through the process of climbing the corporate ladder and had let my spiritual development slow right down. Then over a period of 6 months I kept getting this nagging feeling that I needed to move on, so I did… I moved from Sydney to Melbourne. At the time, I felt that this move was necessary for my own development but once again, I got caught up with my 'corporate' career. There I was again busy with life; slightly aware of Spirit and the Goddess around me, but I was not paying attention.
In the end Spirit and the Goddess decided to take actions into their own hands.
Steps in the Right Direction
Another move was looming… I later realised that they (Spirit and the Goddess) were moving me out of an environment that was focused on career and into an environment that had limited career prospects. I was on the move to Darwin but before doing so I had 6 months to get my act together… I attended workshops, Goddess retreats, development circles; I started writing in my journal, playing with my cards, getting in touch with the Goddess and Spirit.
I arrived in Darwin packed full of new learning and a keen interest to discover more. By this stage I had become a Reiki practitioner as well as a Lomi Lomi/Ka Huna Bodywork practitioner. This was my chance to change my ways. I had convinced myself that I would only work part-time as a contract trainer and the other days I would practice and develop my new found skills.
16 months later I was on the move again and I realised I still hadn't learnt my lessons. Spirit and the Goddess were at it again… I was moving to a country where English is not the first language and a corporate career in Training and Development would be difficult.
I was determined to learn my lesson this time! And this is when Anita came into my life… I was search the internet for something unique to do to celebrate getting married. I wanted something special, something that I connected with, something that allowed me to show my true self. The Goddess had once again made a connection… "here's an opportunity to change your ways", she said. Anita's, Goddess Playshop did just that!
Life Now
I am now in Hong Kong. I am a small business owner, a wife, friend, social butterfly, lover, aunty, daughter, teacher, facilitator and mum to 2 furry cats. 15 years after meeting my first clairvoyant, I am all that he described and more!
Life now is focused on getting my business off the ground and introducing Hong Kong to some unique services; Goddess Playshops, Mother Blessings, Lomi Lomi and Kahi Loa Bodywork. I am also working with people who are discovering their spirituality, as well as discovering the Goddess and her many attributes.
I also have some time to do volunteer work with women, children and animals. I am a volunteer facilitator for Soul Talk, a charity that assists women in emotional and relationship crisis. I have also applied to be part of the Animals Asia's "Professor Paws" program, whereby I'll visit local Chinese primary schools with a registered animal therapy dog. The purpose of the project is to focus on the values of kindness and compassion for animals and responsible pet care.
My business, The Modern Goddess is still in infancy but I do have big dreams!
My Dreams
My dream is to continue to grow my business and open a community centre based locally in the Hong Kong Gold Coast area. The centre will be run by women, for women and I'd like to achieve this within five years. My vision is very clear… and I can describe it down to all the details but to give you an overview, the centre is in a village house; a place that feels safe, healing and nurturing. The centre is for all women, local and expatriates – it will bring many people together.
A final word
Over the years I've had some very interesting experiences with Spirit and the Goddess. They have guided me on my path and now that they've got my attention, I'm looking forward to my the next chapters of my life.
I know at some stage the word 'Spirit' will be replaced with God… that's not too far off. I'm all for keeping the balance – the Goddess and God go hand in hand, just like Lakshmi and Vishnu, the Priestess and Priest, Ying and Yang. My spiritual development is life long and I look forward to the journey.
I hope you too enjoy your journey. Sometimes we don't know where we are going and we don't know how we're going to get there but if you trust and let Spirit and the Goddess guide you, you'll no doubt have an amazing journey.
I needed my journey to have the courage and confidence to step out into this world as me, an Aussie Goddess in Hong Kong!

|Article 19, Russian editor threatened by government official in Instagram post, 9 January 2017, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/5874f86c4.html [accessed 22 January 2018]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
ARTICLE 19 submitted this alert to the Council of Europe Platform for the Protection of Journalism and Safety of Journalists:
On 4 January the Speaker of the Parliament of Chechnya, Magomed Daudov, published a post on Instagram calling for violence against "Shved", a clear reference to Grigory Shvedov, Editor-in-Chief of Caucasian Knot, an independent Russian news site that focuses on human rights violations and abuses of the rule of law across the Caucasus and Southern Russia.
The post, titled "How to untie the Caucasian Knot", is accompanied by a picture of a drooling dog, and calls "for a vet to pull out [Shved's] wisdom teeth and cut his tongue to size". Shvedov is called cowardly and repeatedly compared to a dog.
In an interview with Russian daily newspaper, Kommersant, Shvedov stated that he considered the threat to be "a reaction to our work in general", rather than in response to any specific article or investigation. Caucasian Knot's lawyers now plan to submit an official complaint to the Investigative Committee on charges of obstructing journalism (Article 144 of the Criminal Code).

Whether you want a quiet romantic weekend away with your loved one, a wine fuelled girly get away, beer tasting with the boys or a mini break suitable for the whole family. Brugge comes up trumps and accommodates any age, gender and interest! With its bustling bars, charismatic cobbled streets ornate architecture lining the streaming canals, Brugge has so much to offer! Below are 4 of the places you can't miss when on your trip!
Brugge by foot
First and foremost it is advised that you walk around Brugge by foot, mainly because it is so small that you can get around it in about an hour! Also then you get to experience Brugge and all its sights. Be sure to pick up a walking tour map from wherever you're staying, and don't hesitate to ask people at your hotel on any local events that you won't want to miss out on! If you follow the route you'll come across the windmills, which your kids will love! The oldest pub in Brugge called Herberg Vlissinghe which has been going since 1515! As well as just enjoying the serene streets and cute little boutiques.
Cafe Rose Red. – The place of love… and beer.
Trip advisor – 5*
Brugge is manifestly famous for their copious amounts of original Belgian beers, which for men (and some women I guess!) this is what attracts them to visit beautiful Brugge. However, by wandering off the beaten track led by tourists, a stones throw away from the famous market, we stumbled across this hidden gem tucked away in a quiet side street. The authentic interior and warm welcome you receive when you walk in is so unique and inviting you'll instantly fall in love with the place! While the romantic ambiance, delightful wine menu the Belgium bar staff may be for you, your other half will be blown away by the beer booklet, offering hundreds and hundreds of beers to try!
Recommendations for him -Trappist beer and Saison dupont, for her – In house Rose.
Visit their website! http://www.cordoeanier.be/en/rosered.php
Staminee De Garre. – Brugge's version of diagon alley.
Trip advisor – 4.5*
If you want to live the life of a local for the day, you should definitely visit this local pub. One of the most charming features of this place is the fact that it is completely hidden to the eye of the tourist, and is located down the end of a quiet, crooked narrow alley, yet upon entering it is bustling with charm, character and community. It is a perfect place to go for an afternoon refreshment while you're on your walk, and it is the ideal opportunity to engage your restless kids in an exciting adventure with something to aim for. Food isn't served however you get given free cubes of cheese with your drink orders which complements your beer nicely and will be a light snack for the kids. It's intimate and cosy characteristics may hinder your chances of getting a seat, but i highly recommend you go back later! As the small capacity only adds to the uniqueness and quality of your service.
Recommendations – The famous De garre.
Visit their website! http://www.degarre.be/
Le Trappiste. – The bustling basement of beers!
Trip advisor – 5*
This medieval underground cellar bar is oozing with life and youth! The bricked arches and dimmed lights give it an edgy yet cosy feel, it is a perfect meeting place for a group of friends on a heavy night out hitting the international beer list! It has the ideal atmosphere for a lads holiday however if you want a quiet intimate drink head to the bar, be sure to ask the bar tender for advice, they are more than happy for a chat and to advise you on some delicious beers to try!
Recommendations – ABBOTT, specially brewed for "Le Trappiste" at brewery Van Steenberge.
Visit the website! http://www.letrappistebrugge.com/#!untitled/c11rf
t'Zwart Huis. – Dark delicious dining.
Trip advisor – 4.5*
This restaurant is located within a beautiful late gothic building with breathtaking interior, including a large wall length fire place as one of its beautiful features. If you want to feel as though you are being wined and dined in luxury with top notch service then this is definitely a place to visit. They take the idea of 'dimmed lighting' to the extreme as candle light is your only light source! However this really does add to the t'Zwart Huis experience as it truly is one like no other. Alongside the live blues music and classy cuisine, this is the ideal place for a couples romantic night.
Recommendations – Thai Curry and Irish rib

As daylight faded, the sound of strumming guitars and laughter picked up at Perris Valley Cemetery. Children kicked around soccer balls on the green lawn.
At more than two dozen gravesites, people had gathered to celebrate the lives of their loved ones.
Friday, Nov. 2, was Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos in Spanish. It's a day when each year many people of Latin American descent visit the graves of family and friends. The tradition is especially strong in Mexico and among Mexican-Americans.
Visitors bring to gravesites the food, drink and possessions that their loved ones enjoyed in life. Many spend hours chatting, singing and sharing stories of those who have passed.
Toward the end of the afternoon, about 15 family members and friends of José González began arriving at his Perris Valley grave.
González, a Mexican immigrant who lived in Moreno Valley, died on Nov. 4, 2011, at age 47 after 13 years in a coma. He had suffered a brain hemorrhage.
His mother, Maximiana Ortega, 69, said she always cries when she visits her son's grave alone.
She didn't cry Friday.
Instead, she said in Spanish, she was happy to be remembering her son with others who loved him.
"For me, this is very beautiful," the Moreno Valley woman said. "We're here together. I feel such contentment in my heart."
The indigenous Mexican tradition that is the root of modern-day Day of the Dead commemorations holds that the dead return each year to spend time with the living.
Delia Alvarado, José González's sister, said she doesn't believe the dead or their spirits actually return. Alvarado, 44, of Moreno Valley, said the holiday was a way to feel closer to her late brother.
But Maximiana Ortega said she felt her son's spirit with her as the family ate pork, chicken and pineapple tamales – one of her son's favorite foods – and drank hot fruit punch in the chilly late-afternoon air.
"They say it's only one day they come," Ortega said. "It's a day for them to rest and enjoy."
Ortega and her 92-year-old husband, Ascensión González, were among the first to arrive. She wiped the dirt off her son's gravestone and placed two glass vases of marigolds – traditional Day of the Dead flowers – at each side.
Soon she and other family members had placed photos of her son, a fiberglass Virgin of Guadalupe statue, a U.S. flag, a Mexican flag, colorful perforated paper, glass bowls of sunflower seeds and peanuts and a Dodgers cap on and around the gravestone.
A silver-colored boom box played José's favorite brass-based banda music.
"He loved all these kinds of music," Geronimo González, 51, of Moreno Valley, a brother of José, said with a smile. "We would sing these songs together since when we were very little. We would do duets. I would do one voice and he would do the other. We had many good times growing up."
González said he liked how Day of the Dead celebrated lives, instead of mourning deaths.
"Yes, you're sad, but you have to remember him when he was alive, when he was happy."
As darkness fell, the banda music was turned off. Before saying goodbye to their beloved José, Ortega clutched Rosary beads and led family and friends in prayer.

Michael Jordan owns the Charlotte Bobcats, which one would think should be a perk of playing for the team.
Having the greatest player of all time hanging around practices and team events must be a thrill for young players.
But according to rookie Cody Zeller, Jordan actually isn't around that much. In a rookie diary for SI.com, Zeller shared some info on Jordan.
"I've probably seen Michael Jordan 3-4 times since being drafted. He was at our training camp all week before the season. It's funny because when he's around us he acts like one of the players. He's talking about the game and whatever. It was fun at camp because he was staying in our hotel with us. It was crazy to watch all the stuff you have to do because you're Michael Jordan," he wrote.
"He can't go to a restaurant and eat. He has to have someone go pick it up and bring it back to the hotel. He was locked in his room a lot of the time and couldn't go to dinner with the rest of us," Zeller wrote.
Majority owner and head of basketball operations for the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats, Jordan played in total 1072 NBA games (1039 started), averaging 30.1 ppg, 6.2 rpg in 38.3 minutes per contest.
He was a 14-time NBA All-Star, and 6-times the NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls.

CDRRMC's Search and Rescue Ambulance to Beef up Laoag City's Disaster Preparation and Response
Once again, Laoag City is making strides into living up with its 24/7 disaster preparedness and response campaign, SELNAG: Save Every Life with Nobility And Grace, with the addition of the recently acquired brand new Mitsubishi L300 FB Ambulance. City Disaster Risk Reduction and Risk Management Council (CDRRMC) Chairperson, Hon. Chevylle V. Fariñas is as ever intensifying her administration's efforts in securing the safety and well-being of Laoagueños amidst the face of increasing magnitude of destructiveness of our natural calamities due to climate change.
Laoag City's vision of zero casualty will surely be accomplished each year as additional vehicles and equipment continue to be procured in increasing numbers. This ambulance shall be assigned to City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officer III, Melvin Medel D. Manuel, MD, and the Laoag City Search and Rescue Group.
This move of the city will, hopefully again, make Laoag City as a Regional Awardee in the Gawad Kalasag Search.

I am trying to find the optimum ways to use VisAD in two scenarios, both of which are related to the change in existing arrays that feed data into VisAD. The first scenario is after I have fed VisAD with some data stored in Java primitive arrays, and have made the data to be rendered on a display, the data in these array changes. So I need to update the display to replect the data change. I find that if I re-run the flatField.setSamples() with the data arrays the corresponding changes in the display will be made. I would like to know if this is supposed to be the way to change the display? The second scenario is that I have fixed sized huge arrays. To implify the case suppose the data arrays are 1D double type for x and y, represented by (x -> y) or (index->(x,y)) If I want to look at part of the data set, I can set the range in RangeMap of x (or set range of index in ( index->(x,y)). My problem is that the part of x and y arrays not being looked at are still processed by VisAD (e.g. when looking for Max and Min when the data is set) and result extra memory allocation inside VisAD. In a special case, if I only want to look at the first n points of (x->y) where n is smaller than the length of x and y arrays, I thought I could use this to get a subset of x into x_set: ... x_set=new Gridded1DDoubleSet(type, new double[][]{x_array}, n); ... But I get an exception saying that `` visad.SetException: visad.SetException: Gridded1DDoubleSet.init_doubles: samples [0] length [x array length] doesn't match expected length [n]''. What is the point of n if n is not allowed to be smaller than the length of x ? and even if I do set "copy" to true, whereas a new array is supposed be created and values copied from x, this exception still happens (from reading source code). Can anyone explain what is the idea behind the last parameter in constructor Gridded1DDoubleSet(MathType type, float[][] samples, int lengthX) ? So for the second scenario, isn't there a generic way to tell VisAD only to look part of the data and not to process or allocate memory for the part that is not being looked at? Now for both scenarios, I find that the setSamples() in FlatField actually ignores the "copy" argument. Why is the copy argument "meaningless" (per JavaDoc) in FlatField? If really meaningless, why is the argument there? Since FlatFlied is such a fundamental data structure in VisAD, does this mean if anything in the orginal primitive data array changes, be it data value or the subset of interest, VisAD MUST throw away the old FlatField and whatever internal data structures created to plot the old data, and make a new ones? I also notice that assignment loops are used to copy arrays in FladField.java, even when copying the same type of array. Why isn't System.arraycopy() used ? If the original data structure is simple enough, is it possible to only pass the reference of the original data all the way through until perhaps the screen coordinates are needed to be calculated? To estimate memory use, in the above (x->y) case, how many times more momory does VisAD use in order to plot it? Are there internal buffers that I haven't noticed in this post? Unless I missed something big in VisAD (which happens often :-) the performance hit can be a show stopper in semi-realtime situation such as plotting time series where there are new data points available and appended to existing data set at even modest rate.

text: I'm at a complete loss. I'm trying to connect my laptop wirelessly to my home network which resides behind a linksys router using WPA2-AES encryption. I figured my T40 probably wouldn't support the AES and I'd have to move down to TKIP. Fine, not a problem as long as I'm not running WEP. But when I tried to use the AccessIBM connection manager to setup a profile for my home I get to the point to select my SSID, which I am able to find, and then 3 options for WEP security: None Enabled - Use Static WEP Keys Enabled - Use IEEE 802.1 x (EAP) There was no option for anything other then the WEP option. Not a WPA option anywhere I could find. I suppose I could setup another network with WEP keys and just use my router as a switch but I'd really like to know how to setup my T40 with WPA. FYI, Windows XP SP2 fully patched, and used the AccessIBM Software Installer to update the software. Or rather, I'm assuming it updated the software. Thanks in advanced for any light you could shine on the situation. Mike

Our au pair car was a naughty, naughty car.
Its very first year as an au pair car, it often stayed out kind of late.
Once, it got left behind at a bar and didn't make it back until Monday. Another time, it was hanging out 95 miles away from home, without permission, and tangled with a deer. At 4 am.
Naughty, naughty car.
After the encounter with the deer (though, surprisingly, not after staying over at the bar) I decided I needed to be more firm with our au pair car.
You now have a curfew, Miss Maxima. Weeknights, you must be in by midnight. Weekends, you must be in by 1 am.
I don't care if "all the other au pair cars" get to stay out later. You're my au pair care and you will follow my rules.
The end.
As our au pair car matured, and demonstrated more responsibility, I did allow it to stay out overnight IF parked at someone's home by 1 pm, and if I knew in advance where the car would be. I expect (in fact, I'm sure) that this curfew was occasionally broken, but since I am usually asleep by midnight I rarely noticed.
How about the car that your Au Pair uses?

A lot of sass from the Colorado Springs Gazette, but maybe too much.
On Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, the Gazette tweeted "What are you giving up this year? We suggest the Denver Post."
Ouch, I get that Phil Anschutz and the Gazette are trying to compete with the Post - but that's going for the kneecaps.
It was Wednesday's Shade of the Day on Next.
On March 1, we referred to giving up the @denverpost for lent. It was intended as playful, but should not have been done. We apologize.— The Gazette (@csgazette) March 3, 2017
Now when Friday rolled around, the Gazette had a different tone tweeting "On March 1, we referred to giving up the Denver Post for Lent. It was intended to be playful, but should not have been done. We apologize."

April 21st, 2015
I've mentioned before that Variety increasingly feels like it's being run by Gawker rejects, rather than no-nonsense industry nerds like the great Todd McCarthy. Here, then, is their review of Avengers: Age of Ultron, which contains the following passage meant, I think, to praise the film:
Having apparently resolved that one failed Earthly invasion is enough for one millennium, Loki is nowhere to be found in "Age of Ultron," but even minus his caustic wit, the new movie is a sleeker, faster, funnier piece of work — the sort of sequel (like "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," "Superman II" and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" before it) that shrugs off the self-seriousness of its predecessor and fully embraces its inner Saturday-morning serial.
It's difficult to catalogue all of the wrongheadedness in that single ungainly sentence.
* Neither Wrath of Khan nor Superman II are "funnier" or less "self-serious" than their predecessors. But both are superior movies to them.
* Temple of Doom is much less serious than Raiders, but nowhere near as funny.
* Calling Raiders "self-serious" is ridiculous.
* Temple of Doom is vastly inferior to Raiders. I defy you to find one movie critic–or even ten people, anywhere on the internet–who say it's a better movie.
Then there's a juvenile and nonsensical shot at Israel–comparing Ultron to the Iron Dome system.
And finally it hints that the Whedon Clint Barton might be gay. Sigh. If true, I'll dutifully chase this stick off the porch. But let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Two changes for Boks
South Africa coach Peter de Villiers has made two changes ahead of Saturday's Test against England at Twickenham.
Last Updated: 20/11/08 3:11pm
South Africa coach Peter de Villiers has made two changes ahead of Saturday's Test against England at Twickenham.
Jannie du Plessis has come straight into the front row in place of brother Bismarck, who injured a hamstring in the Springboks' 14-10 victory against Scotland last weekend.
Danie Rossouw will start at flanker in place of Juan Smith, who has taken a knock to the head and been advised by doctors not to play.
Winger Bryan Habana was doubtful earlier in the week but has been declared fit to start, while Brian Mujati, who has been struggling with a shoulder injury, was named as a replacement.
Du Plessis only arrived with the squad at the weekend after being called into the squad and will start at tighthead prop, with captain John Smit reverting to hooker.
Du Plessis, who also called up late during the World Cup, said: "Luckily, I have been here before.
"I flew on Sunday night and arrived on Monday and went straight into training. We've had a good week and I know most of the guys who are here so it makes it easier to slot in if you've played with them before.
"It's going to be a tough one but that's what playing international rugby is all about.
"It helps a lot if you've played with the guys. It's nice to scrum with John. Like Bismarck, he is big and solid so it makes it easier for guys on both sides to slot in if the hooker knows what to do."
South Africa: 15 Conrad Jantjes, 14 JP Pietersen, 13 Adrian Jacobs, 12 Jean de Villiers, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Ruan Pienaar, 9 Ricky Januarie, 1 Beast Mtawarira, 2 John Smit (capt), 3 Jannie du Plessis, 4 Bakkies Botha, 5 Victor Matfield, 6 Schalk Burger, 7 Danie Rossouw, 8 Pierre Spies.
Replacements: 16 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 17 Brian Mujati, 18 Andries Bekker, 19 Ryan Kankowski, 20 Heinrich Brussow, 21 Francois Steyn, 22 Jaque Fourie.

Envoc Leverages Flexibility and Power of Microsoft Platform Ready for Azure in Smart Mobile App Development
Our mobile development toolset, AppMelt, needed rock-solid services behind its content delivery. Purchasing racks of servers, heaps of storage, and stacks of server licenses would have killed off the capital our small business built up for this effort. Further, our best work is in the .NET development, database, and document management world. Hiring and training IT systems engineers to care for a separate infrastructure was not the best use of hard-earned cash reserves.
By developing, testing, and committing to Microsoft Platform Ready (MPR) for Azure, we not only could work within Azure's platform-as-a-service framework, but through MPR, we had access to best practices, a local development environment that would mimic the production environment, and even marketing-related press releases that could jump-start our venture. In short, we didn't have to sell our small business soul to create an enterprise-grade mobile product.
Today, we are free from the worries of failing routers, firewalls, SANs, NICs, controllers, power supplies, and CPUs. Internet bandwidth and storage are virtually unlimited with Azure, so we know that when AppMelt takes off, there will be nothing about the infrastructure that will keep it from soaring.
Technology Innovations Group and Trove TMAP Implementation Takes Just 6 Months Thanks to Microsoft Platform Ready for Azure
Chief Technology Office/Chief Strategy Officer
Technology Innovations Group LLC
When we partnered with Trove Insights, we knew that the co-founders (Michael Simpson and Dr. Ron Young) had a fantastic idea and opportunity to positively impact companies and workers with their unique application of the TMAP personality test. Matching job candidates with ideals skills as well as personal attributes that would make them high performers for a given job or role sounded like a unique service and way to promote job growth with high personal satisfaction.
The challenge was that the current implementation was a Microsoft Access (database) and Visual Basic application written to run on a standalone desktop. Re-implementing the technology with verbal and written sources only (no source code or previous development team access) proved to be a challenge – but the upside was that we could implement the new platform in a scalable way as a true cloud service. Enter Microsoft Platform Ready (MPR) for Windows Azure.
I had utilized cloud services before. Early in the Amazon Web Services evolution, I had been an early beta tester of EC2 (Amazons cloud platform) and while it was very good, it was missing some key services, well integrated with the rest of the cloud as well as great developer tool integration. One such set of services Azure provided were SQL Azure, SQL Azure Reporting and the ACS(2) (third-party authentication) coupled with the Azure SDK and Visual Studio.
The Visual Studio system along with the Azure Developer kit offers a beginning–to-end way of developing a scalable cloud service that is well integrated, easy to develop and simple to deploy unlike the other offerings extant today. While there are great development tools, few one as were as well integrated as the Visual Studio tool set with Microsoft's Azure.
Coupled with the services, we were provided with great support and service from the Developer Platform and Evangelism team, in particular Greg Oliver and Tony Bailey. It was that combination of technology, tools and services afforded via MPR's develop, test and market framework that provided us with the confidence that we could implement our first true platform service on Azure in a scalable, reliable way servicing an increasing customer base for the near term and well into the future.

My Daily Drive to Work and Back...
Phoenix Travel Blog› entry 1 of 6 › view all entries
Where else could I possibly start a blog like this than with a detailed account of my daily commute?
Every day, I leave my humble home to head into the office, or as I have called it in previous blogs, my "questionable job". (long story). First stop? My local corner, to the Circle K.
Some of you know Circle K; some from experience, some from watching "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". It is a chain of convenience stores, where you can buy gas, cigarettes, newspapers, very dodgy looking hotdogs (I never have, nor will I ever, try one of these - I'm sure death would come slowly and painfully), basic items, etc. The famous line from the movie is when Keanu Reeves, (who plays Ted) states in wonder, "Strange things are afoot at the Circle K"
This is where I stop most every morning on my way to work for a Coke - the "Breakfast of Champions", and about all my stomach can take in the mornings. Especially when I see the hotdogs rotating already at 7:45 in the morning... and they aren't JUST hotdogs, they are nacho-cheese-chilli-filled hot dogs. Fantastic. Just rolling and rolling around on those silver heating rolls, that apparently can keep them lukewarm for who knows how long. Also, note my picture above highlighting the "
Anyway...I get my drink and get in line to check out next to the strange cardboard faux-Native-American jewelry display that of course we must have at the convenience store.
So then I drive to work; it's a sprawling city with basically no public transportation, so it's all individual cars, all the time. We are a desert; so as with any desert, the air closer to the ground cools faster at night than the air above. However, we are also a valley (the "Valley of the Sun" no less) so, cool air then moves in ON TOP of the warm air westward from the surrounding mountains.
Our result? The air down at the bottom with all of us (filled with pollutants such as tiny particles of carbon and nitrogen dioxide gasses) is trapped near the ground in the Valley.
Finally I reach the office; to begin another "questionable" day. Not all bad though, I do get to visit you all of you lot from time to time... :-)
Ahhhh.... what is it about the ride home that is so much more enjoyable than the ride in? I guess just the reality of the intended destination? Anyway, since I discussed the smog situation on the way in, let me give equal time to the fact that Phoenix in the springtime can be lovely; all the cactus are in bloom (yes, they do in fact bloom) and the the air smells nice from the flowers.
Only drawback is that it is now officially starting to get hot; it's 7:45 in the evening and still just over 93 F. (34 C.) and tomorrow they say will be 102 F. (39 C.) It's only the 9th of May...
I thought I would show you all a picture of one of our better known mountains here; Camelback Mountain. Named as such, because it looks like a Camel that has laid down. The head of the camel is meant to be to the right in this picture. Another formation on the mountain, not shown here, is the "Praying Monk", and the lore goes that this is the monk that owns the camel, praying that it will get up again so they can continue on the journey. I'll try to add a picture of that later, you have to be at a different angle than my drive home takes me on...
A final note; when I did arrive home tonight, it was to find a FedEx package against my front door, from one of my best friends in the world, who I met here on Travbuddy; Andi Perullo .
THAT is how I ended my day in Phoenix today...


text: Hard to believe me saying this, but Lawrence is right on the money. Chem Lawn does charge that and what he said about the rental is correct too. Try to figure what it would cost them with their time, money and the hassle of picking up such a sizeable machine in their Bimmers and Suv's. Not to mention the little white collar guys manuvering this machine would be worth watching. Once they see what this process entails, they shouldn't cry too much.

Recently, I've been having mix feelings about 3 differnt guys. Two of them been in my classes ever since freshmen year and now I'm a junior. While the other one has already graduated last year so I just don't what to do. But the one who has graduated seems like kinda my type. He's a really cool, down to earth dude. I've had a crush on him sophomore year but then I stop liking him after he left because he's not there anymore. He is one of my friends on facebook but not the other two. I know it kinda seems like I like him more but it isn't. The other two, which they are juniors also, seems like they are so confused of who to like...well one of them, the other one is a jock so I could care less. But anyway to make this long story short, I think I like all three of them but I can't. This was probably boring you but I just need some advice...please:(

DURHAM City enjoyed their biggest-ever win in the Evo-Stik League when they hit Warrington Town for seven at New Ferens Park.
The game turned on a frenetic spell immediately before and after the interval.
The visitors had a wonderful chance early on to take the lead through Chris Thompson, but City quickly gained the initiative and there were half-chances for Stephen Thompson and David Dowson.
It was no surprise when they broke the deadlock on 28 minutes as Dowson slotted past goalkeeper Paul Pritchard after being set free by Andrew Stephenson.
There was another blow for Warrington three minutes later when Michael Jackson was red-carded.
Despite their numerical disadvantage, the visitors had two good chances to equalise, but on both occasions, Kevin Towson shot straight at Lewis
Chris Thompson then hit City's crossbar before Dickie Ord's side scored four goals in quick succession.
Right on the stroke of half-time, Thompson doubled the lead from close-range and in the 47th minute, Johnny Davis fired home.
A minute later Stephenson gave City a commanding four-goal lead.
It was five three minutes into the second period as Thompson's 20-yard shot thundered into the net.
Towson did manage a consolation goal for Warrington, but there was no stopping Durham, who continued to make their one-man advantage count.
Connor Winter added a sixth goal and Thompson completed his hat-trick.
And he nearly made it eight in added time when he was denied by the over-worked Pritchard.
Durham City: L Graham, Harbord, Shaw, Davis (E Graham), Wilkinson, Arjun Purewal, Stephenson (Amar Purewal), Brown, Dowson, Thompson, Cutts (C Winter).

It's the middle of winter, the sky is clear and the air has that refreshing Colorado mountain wintery crispness that fills your lungs with liveliness as we head out on a late afternoon in Mount Falcon State Park. Not every couple is game for this type of engagement shoot but Rachael and Tyler are – such a super laid back, easygoing, up for anything kind of couple.
The sun was low in the sky highlighting the wonders of the landscape that never ceases to amaze me as we hiked in to the park. The light was just perfect and seemed to capture the warm golden glow emanating from this loving couple. We had some great shots as the sun set behind the mountain.
This could have been the end of a great engagement session but wait…hold on…these two are up for hiking back to the stoned walled remnants of the early 1900's Walker home. On the way this venturesome couple even climbed out on the rock outcropping as the last rays of the sun fused with the moonlight for this great silhouette shot. And as if this wasn't enough – they even allowed me to have some fun with light painting! How absolutely brilliant!
Okay – I have to admit – my imagination is running wild thinking about all the shots I can get of such an adventurous couple when they get married in Steamboat Springs this September.
Thank you, thank you Rachael and Tyler – get ready you started something colossal!

Barcelona retained the Spanish league after securing a 3-0 win over Granada earlier today.
There were no late wobbles as a hat-trick from Luis Suarez ensured Barcelona wrapped up the title for the 24th time
Arda Turan once again started on the bench for the catalan giants. The Turkish international came on in the 79th minute in place of Ivan Rakitic.
The former Atletico Madrid star was unable to play for the first six months of his Barcelona career due to a FIFA imposed transfer ban on the club.
Turan has gone onto make just nine starts for the Catalan giant and has been linked with moves away from the club.
Granada 0 – 3 Barcelona
Kick-Off: 16:00 (GMT)
Stadium: Camp Nou
Granada confirmed starting lineup: Fernandez; Lopes, Babin, Costa, Biraghi; Rochina, Doucoure, Perez, Cuenca; El-Arabi, Penaranda

In 2014, the VCDNP won the European Space Imaging (EUSI) and Skybox Imaging High-Res Challenge as part of the 2014 Copernicus Masters Competition, a competition that awards prizes for innovative solutions for business and society based on Earth observation (EO) data.
The goal of the winning project, submitted by Tamara Patton, VCDNP Research Associate and PhD Candidate at Princeton University, was to examine the potential utility of emerging systems of commercial EO satellites to support nuclear non-proliferation, disarmament and treaty verification efforts. The capabilities in focus included emerging constellations of small satellites capturing very high-resolution (VHR) imagery and high definition (HD) video, sub 50 centimeter resolution systems and new regional systems. The project was made possible by the Counter Proliferation Programme of the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the imagery supplied courtesy of EUSI.
The project's final report is now available for free release. The final report discusses these particular development trends in the commercial EO domain. This is followed by an examination of how such capabilities might apply to observing nuclear fuel cycle or weapon development facilities, using facilities in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea as a case study. Treaty verification requirements are primarily examined in the contexts of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). New EO capabilities are also examined in the context of the United Nations Security Council nuclear-related sanctions implementation, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and nuclear arms control and disarmament efforts.
The report identifies opportunities, obstacles and future considerations for the application of emerging types of commercial EO satellite data in various treaty verification domains. In particular:
- Data provenance: To ensure data provenance and reliability of imagery for verification purposes, extra measures such as digital signatures, as well as the ability to retrace all processing steps that an image undergoes from the satellite to those used by analyst would be useful. Emerging satellite companies could be prepared to share calibration files and documentation on the processing algorithms applied to the data to support international organizations in using their data.
- Treaty verification support: Emerging commercial satellite EO capabilities have the potential to support existing verification mechanisms under nuclear agreements, while also offering new capabilities that might strengthen verification regimes in the future. In the case of the CTBT, small satellites offering agile and more affordable imagery might usefully support existing IMS technologies and on-site inspection mechanisms, including airborne MSIR capabilities. Beyond this, historical archives of global small satellite data could assist in identifying whether or not an explosive event is nuclear in nature by providing high-temporal imagery of a site before the event was detected by the IMS.
- Continued engagement: Small satellite companies, such as Skybox Imaging, Planet Labs, Urthecast, Satellogic and BlackSky Global, are in the early stages of development and may yet be joined by new actors in this expanding sector. This is a critical time for engaging such companies on needs in the field of verification, both in terms of desired capabilities and the restrictions of the operational environment. Many of these companies are actively seeking feedback from current and potential future users of their data to ascertain their needs, and are now in an optimum position to adapt to such needs.

First Novels RedRose Chain Gone And The
First Novels: Red-Rose Chain, Gone And The Virgin's Knot Essay, Research Paper
They've started… and I'll finishRed-Rose Chainby Jeffrey MooreWeidenfeld & Nicholson ?12.99, pp392Goneby Helena EchlinSecker & Warburg ?10, pp230The Virgin's Knotby Holly PayneOrion ?12.99, pp303This is my final monthly round-up of first novels. My first selection two years ago included Helen Dewitt's remarkably fresh and original tale of an intellectual prodigy, The Last Samurai; high points in between have been Nuala O'Faolain's My Dream of You and Accidents in the Home by Tessa Hadley.The past weeks have brought out mostly volumes that seem to advertise their novice qualities. Talent is rare, and skill oddly taken for granted by the general crowd; but rarest and most precious is a writer who can not only tell a story and create characters that will keep us company for life but who actually has something to say. Reading through these contributions has been like going to a recital at your child's piano teacher's. You won't get real music, because the baby practitioners have no sense of shaping or interpreting, but you expect notes in the right order.The only one of this month's choices to take a definite attitude (humorous) or any responsibility for shaping character and narrative is Red-Rose Chain by Jeffrey Moore (Weidenfeld and Nicholson £12.99, pp392) which got good reviews in Canada and won the Commonwealth Writers Prize. It's a bit high-concept for my taste – its premise is that a randomly chosen encyclopaedia page has been the determining factor in the narrator's life – but the characters are likable, it has no pretensions, and, above all, its tone is confident, amused and amusing.Though the Page, as it is called, is its high concept, this is really a story of the seemingly doomed courtship of a feminist lesbian, Milena, by Jeremy Davenant, a Canadian professor of 'Shakespeare in translation', who is so unconscious in his sexism that one can hardly believe he lives in the present day. But then, his upbringing is rather penny-dreadful Victorian, with an unknown father and devoted but passive mother; his step-father, a repressive stick named Ralph, keeps Jeremy from his spiritual father, the delightful and entrancing con-man and gambler 'Uncle' Gerard. It is Gerard who leads Jeremy to the Page and fakes Jeremy's academic credentials, generally encouraging fraudulence.Jeremy at heart is about halfway between Gerard and Ralph – between naughtiness and stodge – and therefore the straight man (in both senses) to the highly literate Milena, a sometime heroin addict who herself shows a certain taste for moderation in her daydream of having a bookshop filled with cats. There are many cartoonish incidents and characters – a neighbour who writes an absurdly politically correct column, Milena's punky sister who turns tricks for drugs, at least one brainless, bosomy beauty too many – but a contest of scholarship at an academic party and the mutual kindness of Jeremy and his elderly Ukrainian landlady are gratifying.Even this relatively stylish narrative breaks down, though, in its logic: Jeremy may be fraudulent as a professor, but he is far too stupid and unread to succeed as a fraud, and it is disappointing that the author doesn't peg things with more meaning to the Page, or do something to mesh the elements. Milena is contradictory in ways that seem capricious on the author's part rather than hers, yet one feels he didn't mean to write a picaresque.As carefully set up but far more glum is Helena Echlin's Gone (Secker and Warburg £10, pp230), a classically memoirish first novel about an unhappy family, dark secrets, and an ambivalent protagonist, Elizabeth.Going back to her parents' house in England to prepare her wedding to the American medical student she met at Oxford and has been living with in New Mexico, Elizabeth is a mass of unresolved neurotic impulses, wanting her admirable fiancé to handcuff her for sex, picking up a redneck, being nasty to religious fanatics.The story alternates between the present and Elizabeth's adolescent past – a loveless relationship with a brutal young man and then a sexless one, and a similar dynamic with a slutty girlfriend and a too-brainy one, who respectively become involved with Elizabeth's vile brother and sexless ex.No one here entirely emerges from type into individual, while the protagonist, the usual blind spot of beginning writers, is more cry of pain than personality. The story does not fulfill its premise – that American openness might redeem English repression of emotion. Elizabeth remains incapable of acknowledging the barest facts of experience, let alone emotion, and all the English people act in bizarre ways.Plot or structure or shape simply don't follow through from set-up; Elizabeth's father goes missing, but then he just (limply) shows up; the grandmother who seems the root of all repression spills the beans about an abusive past and is blamelessly converted from baddie; and the author can't seem to figure out what to do with the unaccountably vile brother: she certainly doesn't account for him. As I often told students when I taught fiction workshops: beginning stories is easy; following through is where you become a writer – or not.Having suffered through Holly Payne's The Virgin's Knot (Orion £9.99, pp288) it is hard for me to say this was third-best of the remaining bad bunch, but that's the case. Set in the Fifties – though this wasn't clear until about a hundred pages in – it concerns 21-year-old Nurdane, in a mountain village in Turkey, who wears braces on her legs from polio but has a great gift for rug-making – so great that even people from beyond the village believe that her rugs can cause miracles. The rugs are generally bought for dowries, and the bidding, submitted to her widowed father, is fierce.Enter US anthropologist John Hennessy, an anachronistic feminist, who believes Nurdane's weaving hut sits above the remains of a cult of the goddess Cybelle. This turns out to have nothing to do with anything, since the point is that Nurdane falls for him.Things only get less coherent, with the doctor who has been helping her arranging to marry her without telling her, but it hardly matters what a mishmash the story is, since even to discern it requires wading through prose like mud, the characters are seen through the wrong end of a telescope, the author seems to believe narrative tension is the same as witholding basic information and she uses words whose meaning she doesn't know. This one doesn't even get the notes in the right order.
